Psychoanalysis, method of treating mental disorders, shaped by psychoanalytic theory, which emphasizes unconscious mental processes and is sometimes described as "depth psychology." The psychoanalytic movement originated in the clinical observations and formulations of Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud, who coined the term psychoanalysis. During the 1890s, Freud worked with Austrian physician and physiologist Josef Breuer in studies of neurotic patients under hypnosis. Freud and Breuer observed that, when the sources of patients' ideas and impulses were brought into consciousness during the hypnotic state, the patients showed improvement.
Observing that most patients talked freely without being under hypnosis, Freud evolved the technique of free association of ideas. The patient was encouraged to say anything that came to mind, without regard to its assumed relevancy or propriety. Noting that patients sometimes had difficulty in making free associations, Freud concluded that certain painful experiences were repressed, or held back from conscious awareness. Freud noted that in the majority of the patients seen during his early practice, the events most frequently repressed were concerned with disturbing sexual experiences. Thus he hypothesized that anxiety was a consequence of the repressed energy (libido) attached to sexuality; the repressed energy found expression in various symptoms that served as psychological defense mechanisms. Freud and his followers later extended the concept of anxiety to include feelings of fear, guilt, and shame consequent to fantasies of aggression and hostility and to fear of loneliness caused by separation from a person on whom the sufferer is dependent.
Freud's free-association technique provided him with a tool for studying the meanings of dreams, slips of the tongue, forgetfulness, and other mistakes and errors in everyday life. From these investigations he was led to a new conception of the structure of personality: the id, ego, and superego. The id is the unconscious reservoir of drives and impulses derived from the genetic background and concerned with the preservation and propagation of life. The ego, according to Freud, operates in conscious and preconscious levels of awareness. It is the portion of the personality concerned with the tasks of reality: perception, cognition, and executive actions. In the superego lie the individual's environmentally derived ideals and values and the mores of his family and society; the superego serves as a censor on the ego functions.
In the Freudian framework, conflicts among the three structures of the personality are repressed and lead to the arousal of anxiety. The person is protected from experiencing anxiety directly by the development of defense mechanisms, which are learned through family and cultural influences. These mechanisms become pathological when they inhibit pursuit of the satisfactions of living in a society. The existence of these patterns of adaptation or mechanisms of defense are quantitatively but not qualitatively different in the psychotic and neurotic states.
Freud held that the patient's emotional attachment to the analyst represented a transference of the patient's relationship to parents or important parental figures. Freud held that those strong feelings, unconsciously projected to the analyst, influenced the patient's capacity to make free associations. By objectively treating these responses and the resistances they evoked and by bringing the patient to analyze the origin of those feelings, Freud concluded that the analysis of the transference and the patient's resistance to its analysis were the keystones of psychoanalytic therapy.
Early schisms over such issues as the basic role that Freud ascribed to biological instinctual processes caused onetime associates Carl Jung, Otto Rank, and Alfred Adler to establish their own psychological theories. Most later controversies, however, were over details of Freudian theory or technique and did not lead to a complete departure from the parent system. Other influential theorists have included Erik Erikson, Karen Horney, Erich Fromm, and Harry Stack Sullivan. At one time psychiatrists held a monopoly on psychoanalytic practice, but soon nonmedical therapists also were admitted.
Later developments included work on the technique and theory of psychoanalysis of children. Freud's tripartite division of the mind into id, ego, and superego became progressively more elaborate, and problems of anxiety and female sexuality received increasing attention. Psychoanalysis also found many extraclinical applications in other areas of social thought, particularly anthropology and sociology, and in literature and the arts.

At the john force holiday car show!
Last edited by 50togo; 12-02-2012 at 05:50 PM.
thats probably the same funny car that i saw here at RCX in Long Beach last year, they're doing it again this coming year in june.
It was pretty cool but lousy weather!
I wish these guys would come to Oz...maybe one day...
Rock n Rolla !
hey mate.... dont you guys do RC expo out there? thats when they normally come.
I know they do it in Melbourne...never been to one; not sure if the Traxxas team comes out...I moved from Melbourne to Brisbane in Jan this year, not sure if the have it here. RC Trucks seem to be bigger in Sydney and Melbourne.
Rock n Rolla !
it usually is a bigger thing in larger cities thats why they have it in long beach its near LA and the larger places unlike having it say in Sac capital of california.
Living life.
This was more of a car show and meet and greet with john force and his family
More fun came in the mail !

All dialed in! .
The ofna horn was shipped late so I put the stock one on and put the heavy duty servo spring in and installed the futaba receiver in so my 3pl is ready to go .tomorrow I will pull the front diff for the hr cup and aluminum diff case
I installed the hr aluminum cup and blue aluminum case in front and sway bars from and back!
Traxxas center cvds too!
Last edited by 50togo; 12-06-2012 at 06:21 PM.
eventhough with the stock center drive, still need some shims to get rid of the play.
Think.its more of a t maxx ring and pinion setup
you know what i notice, is that the older t-maxx diff pinion from pro.15 is a tad bit longer than the newer 4907.
That would be it. 25.00 wasted ! Unless down the road my ring gear goes bad and the pinion survives
The description does say its for TRX 3.3 T/E-MAX...I looked at all the ring and pinion gears of all the models listed above...they all use Traxxas #5379x, I assumed it would be a direct replacement for that part.
I've just found a place that will ship RRP 8690 to Australia earlier in the week so I snapped them up...$75 later with shipping.
I see on closer inspection in your previous post that the part # you are using is RRP 8090...I've done a search on the net and can't seem to find RRP 8090 or RRP 8690 on the Robinson website...maybe I am not looking properly.
I have just looked at model 4910 (T-Maxx) and it uses a different ring and pinion to all the models listed above...Traxxas #4981, it might be a direct replacement for this model .
My appologise...this has just been a waste of $75 for me .
Rock n Rolla !
It wont in a new e maxx. I have an 8090 in my maxx I am building. I only have one in the rear couldn't find one for the front that's why I bought the 8690. Hopefully the shimmed front diff on the maxx will hold up. I have a few spares if it doesn't. No sweat live and learn
I will keep and eye out for the 8090
I had bought 2 8690's on ebay and cancelled them then paid 25.00 for this one glad I cancelled!
We need to drop robinson racing an email to try to get them to retool and make the 8090 again definitely a big demand!

First Tire was balanced perfectly! Needed no weight
These are the biggest tires and two didn't need any weight and the other two only need 3.7 grams each! One of my e maxx wheels needed 13 grams

So.I am running 18/54 gearing and up and down the street running pretty cool
Hows that sound with these tall tires?
Guess its not a kawasaki edition anymore!
Last edited by 50togo; 12-07-2012 at 05:35 PM.
yeah...i got a kawasaki revo truck body too...it's nothing special...at least not to me...it's just another body...
it's the internals that gives me a woody...ha ha...
but anyways...how does ur revo compare to ur maxx...which one do u like better?
The maxx hasn't seen dirt! Last weekend got rained out but I did a little more to the revo plus its a little tougher. The maxx will be more for my daughter. I know I switched trucks but I don't think she minds!
next to my neu 1112 merv setup for 4s runs
now i see a difference here on the bumpers why wouldnt rpm make the part behind the bumper for the merv? i see they have it for the 1/10 though which would be a good idea for them to make it for the merv as well mine is broken which it wouldnt have if it had a rpm one. tomorrow ill send over an email to them asking if they can make that part.
very nice merv and erbe. what esc is on the merv?
Living life.
for the record i have since replaced the bumper mount!!!!!
the esc is a mmp
i keep hearing how the revo and the maxx will work with one battery. either one of mine will not even turn on with only one battery
Last edited by 50togo; 12-09-2012 at 12:26 AM.
I know its not recommend to just hook up 1 battery to the MMM more less run it like that. thats what i have my esc wired in single so i can run just 1 2s lipo when needed like for my wife since its too fast for her on 4s
Living life.
Maybe the newer model need two batteries to turn on
No must be the angle of the photo. The bumper and mount are brand new never ran
I need a bigger trunk for my s2000!
yes you sure do need a bigger trunk lol. when my bro had an s2000 its more than enough for his paintball stuff and then things bot out of hands that he needed a bigger ride so he traded it for a Pilot 4x4.
Ooh yeah you need a bigger truck like my malibu i can fit my pede, emaxx, merv plus 2 ice chests as well and put the seats down if i needed to but looking at it i can fit maybe 6-8 emaxx's or e revos thats why i like these cars big trucks the impalas are the same too.
I'm guessing also stripped diff or the drive line.
Living life.
Looks like it. One side freewheels then the other
5 minutes into the run not even bashing that hard.

Will NFL Add a Second Overseas Game in 2012?
The NFL will schedule a second regular season game outside North America in 2012, Daniel Kaplan of SportsBusiness Journal reported Tuesday.
According to Kaplan, the NFL, which already schedules one game per year in London, will add a second overseas game in 2012. Kaplan indicated his source was NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, noting on Twitter, "…Roger Goodell told me after the NY SB press conference he expects there to be 2 overseas regular season games next year."
Kaplan followed with a later Tweet that hinted London would get the additional game, rather than another site being selected. He wrote, "My understanding is league would double down on London, focusing efforts there."
Chicago is set to play Tampa Bay at Wembley Stadium in London on Oct. 23. The annual London game began in 2007 when Miami played the New York Giants.

Steve Jobs Stars in "Reception?"
by Rob on
July 20, 2010
Filed under Apple, News, Tips and How-To's
On the Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight there were no shortage of shots at the iPhone 4 and even Steve Jobs. During Jay's monologue he quipped about a new app being made for the iPhone that will actually allow users to make a phone call. There was also a series on the current reception debacle, or "Antennagate" that it's become known as. Later in the monologue Jay remarked that Steve Jobs was staring in a move titled: "Reception?" an obvious play on the recent hit movie: "Inception" that dominated box offices this past weekend.
Despite the late night shots at Steve and the iPhone, Apple reported a phenomenal quarter with earnings increasing a whopping 78% and blowing past analysts expectations. Apple sold 3.27MM iPads and 8.4MM iPhones during the quarter (a long with a truck load of Macs). "It was a phenomenal quarter that exceeded our expectations all around, including the most successful product launch in Apple's history with iPhone 4," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "iPad is off to a terrific start, more people are buying Macs than ever before, and we have amazing new products still to come this year."
So take that, Leno!
At any rate, I happened to snap this screen shot during the Tonight Show using my Nikon camera and the pic came out pretty good, so here it is – Steve Jobs in "Reception?"

BRECKENRIDGE, COLORADO – Shaun White found himself on the "Road to Couchi" on Sunday — not exactly where he wanted to be with a key Olympic qualifying event going on outside.
The world's most decorated snowboarder pulled out of the slopestyle final at the Dew Tour so he could rest his left ankle — the one he twisted during a fall on the halfpipe the day before.
Both events are the first step on the "Road to Sochi," the home of next year's Olympics.
After hurting the ankle during his first run on the halfpipe Saturday, White took a more-timid-than-usual second run. He finished second and limped off the mountain but said the injury wasn't serious.
Then, about 30 minutes before he was scheduled to run Sunday, White posted a picture on his Facebook account of him sitting on the couch with his ankle in a bucket of ice. His message: "#RoadtoCouchi had to pull out of Dew Tour slopestyle finals because of ankle sprain from superpipe."
White's publicist didn't have any more details on the injury, though the best guess is that he's resting it for next week's qualifier in Copper Mountain, which now becomes more critical.
Watching from the couch, White got a good look at what's waiting for him if he does make it to Russia. Notably, Canadian Mark McMorris, winner of the last two Winter X Games, who landed a high-flying "backside triple cork 1440" — three revolutions tucked into two flips off one of the big jumps. It's considered the must-have trick, at least for those thinking about Olympic gold.
"It's a huge confidence builder. I can't complain," McMorris said. "You ask to start your season on a positive note and here it is."
McMorris had the contest virtually wrapped up with a score of 95 after his first run, but tried the tougher trick on the second trip down the mountain. Stuck it. And scored a 97.8.
Is he the clear favorite heading into Sochi?
"You tell me, dog," he replied.
McMorris led a 1-2-4 finish for Canada, which has realistic hopes of owning the podium in Olympic slopestyle, one of the events making its debut at the 2014 Games.
Chas Guldemond was the top American finisher, in fifth place — a result that won't hurt White.
Up to three American men can make the Olympics in slopestyle, with the first criteria being a top-4 finish in one of five qualifying events.
Making things trickier for White, however, is an international requirement that any Olympian also have a top-30 showing and at least 50 points in a World Cup event.
White doesn't have that, but could get it next week in Copper Mountain, where the event doubles as a World Cup contest.

Sports Writer
Rifling through an old picture album, Andy Meade brushes past the headlines to point out his teammates in the photos. He brags about them one by one, and the list reads like a Who's Who of Southington sports.
Of course, he fails to point out that it's his name that's scrawled across the the top of the page. He looks puzzled when asked about any all-conference or all-state nominations. Meade was never one to search out the spotlight. Headlines just seemed to find him. Whether he was serving on the town council or on his high school football team, Meade was a natural born leader that was just as happy being a role player as being the star.
"Andy played all three sports—football, basketball, and baseball—and he was good at every one of them," said former Southington High School coach Joe Orsene. "He was a good athlete and a really nice fellow to begin with. He was a really nice fellow to coach. They really don't come any better than Andy."
The town looked much different when Meade was growing up in the 1940s, and sports was a way of life for the young athlete. Southington was a small town, filled with open spaces and small neighborhoods. There were no youth leagues, but Meade battled his neighbors in pick-up games or played basketball and a make-shift baseball game in the YMCA gym.
It wasn't until Meade was 10 years old that the town finally opened its doors to Little League baseball, and Meade outlasted dozens of hopefuls to earn a spot on one of the Southington four teams.
"At that time, Little League was the only thing going," he said. "We didn't have midget football. We didn't have farm leagues, and we didn't have anything else. Of course, I played sandlot ball and everything, but it was Little League where I started to come into my own."
The young Meade quickly rose to the top, hitting .571 in his second year. Over three Little League seasons, Meade averaged over .500 at the plate to earn himself a mention among sports writers as one of the best young players in the state. But Meade was already beginning to show signs of his versatility. In eighth grade, he joined a CYO basketball team at St. Thomas and helped them to the state semifinals. Then came the high school.
Suddenly, Meade had a chance to test his skills against the top athletes in a number of different sports. In all three seasons, Meade threw himself into competition. In all three seasons, he fought his way to the varsity roster. He earned nine varsity letters over three years at the high school, and spent most of his career in the starting lineup.
He earned himself a role as quarterback for the football team. He was a guard for the basketball team, and a pitcher and left fielder in the spring. As a junior, Meade was a crucial part of Southington's Class B championship in football. That spring, he helped lead the baseball team to the championship game where they lost to Woodrow Wilson in the final game.
"It was a dream for me to get up there and play," he said. "There was a lot of pride and a lot of fight for the reputation of Southington no matter what sport you played. We were quite well known, and we probably had the best coaches in the state with Jay Fontana, Walt Lozoski, and Joe Orsene. Those coaches were great, and they didn't pull any punches. They were out to win ball games."
Meade's football team in 1954 is considered by many to be the best in Southington's history. As quarterback in the single-wing offense, Meade was a blocker and runner. The Blue Knights knocked off a pair of Class A schools on their way to a perfect 8-0 record and a Class B title.
"For me, it was more about being a team player than being out there for myself," he said. "The greatest thing was being a part of that team and going undefeated. Even in our senior season, we did pretty well even though we lost a lot of players. It was a team effort. We were all friends, and everybody played their hardest."
Meade managed to convert seven extra point plays as a junior in 1954. He didn't score a single offensive touchdown, but his blocking and leadership helped set up a passing game that was ahead of its time and a running game that dominated Southington's competition.
"He was an outstanding blocker and an excellent defensive guy," said Ray Thorpe, the top scorer on the team. "He was a leader. He was level-headed, and he had the respect of everybody. He was the commensurate player, and he could play any position in the backfield. He was the general, and he was a mature guy at a young age."
As good as Meade was on the offensive side of the ball, it was his defense that helped secure his spot in the center of the lineup. He led the team with three interceptions, including a 60-yard touchdown return during a 60-12 victory over Plainville.
"I played offense and defense, but I think I did even more on defense because I was able to intercept a pass or recover a fumble," he said. "As a single wing quarterback, you work your butt off. You're either blocking or touching the ball, but it wasn't the sort of position where you scored. I had some plays where I ran, but I was primarily running pitchouts and passing. I was determined to do everything I could because I didn't want to let those guys down."
His efforts helped him secure a co-captain nomination as a senior. Southington returned just four seniors from their state championship team, but Meade helped lead them to a 5-2 record. Over three years, Meade's teams went 19-2.
"The quarterback was called the blocking back, and Andy did a great job as a blocker with that 1954 team. Then, he moved to tailback the next year, and that is a really key spot in the single wing," Orsene said. "He played good defense and good offense. He really just did a solid job all around, but he was a great all-around athlete."
After Thanksgiving, Meade shifted his attention indoors where he led the offense at guard. Once again, Meade wasn't the top scorer but he helped distribute the ball to prolific scorers like Dick Lorenzo and Corky Casella, and Southington rallied for three consecutive titles in the Central Valley Conference and a trio of postseason appearances, including a rally to the quarterfinals in 1955.
"He was such a good athlete," said Casella. "I've known him since my sophomore year, and he's always been a good athlete at everything. He was very competitive at everything."
Of course, baseball was his best sport. He dominated in Little League, and that carried over to the high school. Meade alternated from pitcher to left fielder, but it was his bat that really set him apart. In both his junior and senior seasons, Meade batted over .400, and he helped lead Southington to the Class B state championship game in 1955.
Over the summers, he batted over .400 in four seasons with the local American Legion team. In 1956, he was named as the outstanding hitter for Southington Post 72. In 1992, Meade was inducted into the Southington High School baseball hall of fame.
"He was good at basketball and football, but baseball was probably his best sport," said Orsene. "He was a good hitter, a good fielder, and I really felt that was his best sport."
Soon, scouts began to appear on the sidelines. Meade received invitations to try out for both the Cincinatti Reds and the Philadelphia Phillies, but his mother waved off both offers. Instead, the small town star went to Villanova University and he walked onto the baseball team to earn a trio of varsity letters.
"There were a lot of scholarship players. I played, but those scholarship guys had preference over guys like me," he said. "I did have three letters because I played varsity, and it was great. We played Navy. We went to Annapolis. We traveled all over,a nd it was a great experience."
After college, Meade returned home to marry his high school sweetheart. He began a successful business in town and served on the town council and a number of local boards. He said that his experience in sports helped pave the way for everything that followed.
"I told my own kids as they were growing up and now my grandkids that you win some and you lose some," he said. "There isn't any place better than sports to teach you to be aggressive. It's a challenge. You're out there to win, but in the same token you take your bumps and bruises."
With his excellence in three sports and his leadership on and off the field, it was no surprise that Meade was selected to represent the town in the Southington Sports Hall of Fame. On Thursday, Nov. 8, he will be inducted in a ceremony at the Aqua Turf in Plantsville.
"I consider it a real, real privilege. We've had so many good ball players, and I almost feel that there are a lot of guys that deserve it before me," he said. "We had a reputation to uphold, and I feel good that I was a part of it. That's one of the reasons why, later on, I went on to serve the town council. It was great to work for the town or play for the town. I really owe so much to this town, and I always felt good to represent them."

Electronics Projects: How to Combine Resistors in Series and Parallel
Resistors can be combined to form complex electronic networks in which some of the resistors are in series and others are in parallel. For example, a network of three, 1 kΩ resistors and one 2 kΩ resistor are arranged in a mixture of serial and parallel connections.
The way to calculate the total resistance of a network like this is to divide and conquer. Look for simple series or parallel resistors, calculate their total resistance, and then substitute a single resistor with an equivalent value.
For example, you can replace the two 1 kΩ resistors that are in series with a single 2 kΩ resistor. Now, you have two, 2 kΩ resistors in parallel.
Remembering that the total resistance of two resistors with the same value is half the resistance value, you can replace these two, 2 kΩ resistors with a single 1 kΩ resistor. You're now left with two, 1 kΩ resistors in series. Thus, the total resistance of this circuit is 2 kΩ.
Project 2-2 lets you do a little hands-on work with some simple series and parallel resistor connections so you can see firsthand how the calculations described in the previous three sections actually work in the real world.
You'll probably find that due to the individual variations of actual resistors (due to their manufacturing tolerances) the calculated resistances don't always match the resistance of the actual circuits. But in most cases, the variations aren't significant enough to affect the operation of your circuits.
In this project, you will assemble five resistors into three different configurations. The first has all five resistors in series. The second has them all in parallel. And the third creates a network of two sets of parallel resistors that are connected in series.

Hi guys,
I have 2 classes, two JFrame classes in NetBeans.
The first one has a public Main() and the other has a public Maintain(), from the maintain I'm trying to re-trigger the commands in the public Main() <- the commands that run on the start up of the form.
Can someone help? is there a command round this? thank you (:

J5985 : Rabbit burrows, Lighthouse Island
taken 8 years ago, 7 km from Groomsport, Northern Ireland
Lighthouse Island, Copeland Islands near Donaghadee :: J5986
Lighthouse Island is one of the Copeland Islands, off the north eastern coast of Co Down, close to Donaghadee and the entrance to Belfast Lough. The following is a condensed version of a Wikipedia article: in 1671 James Ross obtained a fee farm grant of these. In 1770 David Kerr bought the islands from the Earl of Clanbrassil. A light beacon was established circa 1715 on what is now Lighthouse Island followed by a permanent lighthouse in 1813. In 1884 the lighthouse, which still exists, was replaced by one on nearby Mew Island. No longer inhabited, Lighthouse Island is now home to the Copeland Bird Observatory. This is the link to the full Wiki article Link. Also useful Irish Lights Link and the Copeland Islands Bird Observatory Link.
By Bangor Boat to Lighthouse Island
On 14 June 2011 the Bangor Boat Link had arranged an evening trip to the Gobbins cliffs at Islandmagee. The boats owner considered the adverse wind unsuitable for a trip across Belfast Lough. Instead he made the journey, around the Co Down coast, to Lighthouse Island. This proved to be a wise decision since it included a sighting of a humpback whale, a landing on the island and a guided tour by the warden of the Copeland Islands Bird Observatory Link with over an hour ashore. Not being a birdwatcher I made an independent trip around part of the island. With grateful thanks to Brian Meharg MBE of the Bangor Boat who knows exactly how to please his passengers.

Black Mask drinks a glass of Whisky with three ice cubes, he's on his limo accompanied by his secretary, Anya Volkova.
Black Mask: Well, I don't care what happened to Cobblepot and this new "Emperor Penguin", I don't worry with minor problems.
Anya: You should worry then, because he's planning something big, I don't know yet but I'm sure he'll try something.
They get out of the car and enter a building, the henchmen on the building are all wearing animal masks from the personal collection of Roman Sionis.
Black Mask: I don't know if you see but I'm a little worried with other things now, like the Red Foot.
Anya: Red Hood, sir.
Black Mask: I don't care, I told you already, he wasn't a problem when he worked for Falcone, he isn't one either now that he's playing the crazy life vigilante.
Anya puts her hands over her arms, her breathing expels a white breeze, it's cold.
Anya: Okay boss, we can harsh things on him a little. Why we are here again?
Black Mask: Recruiting.
He opens a door, a white breeze comes out from it, the ground is frozen.
Black Mask: Hello, I'm happy that you accepted to see me.
A robotic voice answers him.
Voice: What do you want, Mask?
Black Mask: I'm offering you a job, the money is enough for you to live the rest of your life in peace and...cold, also you'll have the chance to kill a vigilante. What do you say, Freeze?
Mr. Freeze gets out of a capsule and removes the red lenses glasses he uses. His veins stand out on his skin as he puts a asthma inhaler on his mouth and breaths.
Freeze: The money is *breaths* very good, I'll be able to *breaths* finish my research on Nora's cure *breaths*. But I'll need something to use, a new suit.
The Unknown Cell Block, Extreme Isolation, Arkham Asylum
Plastic Man walks carefully on the corridor, two guards are walking on his direction, he becomes a flower pot. The two guards pass next to him, one of them stops, looks at the pot and throws his cigarette on it, they keep walking. Plastic Man heads to Wolfgang Winks cell.
Plastic: Woozy? Are you here?
Woozy: Eel? You son of a flying pig, where have you been? It's almost one week!
Plastic: I had some problems in finding the way back.
Woozy: When you haven't? Haha. Come here, let's watch Baseball.
On another place in Gotham
Batman kicks the head of one of Ekin Tzu's thugs against the wall and screams with him.
Batman: WHEN WILL IT BE?
Batman punches the head of a McKillen's thug against a window, the pieces of glass cut his face entirely, full of blood Batman asks him.
Batman: WHERE IS HIM?
Batman breaks in the The Cauldron, the band stops playing classic Irish songs, Batman punches several thugs and throws them over the drink's storage, he takes one of Sean Riley's thugs and throws him out of the pub, he puts his right foot over his neck making him bleed, Batman asks the thug.
Batman: WHEN HE'S COMING BACK?
Nightwing jumps in front of him, his leg is covered by some metal joints and leather protection.
Nightwing: What's going on Batman? I'm following you for sometime but this leg didn't let me accompany you.
Batman: He's back. After 10 years away from Gotham, after we ended his empire, after all we left was ruins of the biggest criminal mafia in Gotham, he's finally back Dick
The batmobile drives away from Gotham and enters a dark forest, an interrupted road opens for the car to enter a secret trail and he drives to the Batcave, a camera scans the car and several rocks move, the entrance opens. He enters the bathroom and takes a bath, he finally relaxes.
While at Gotham Robinson's Park Apartments
Gordon shaves his beard and leaves the mustache untouched, the white haired Commissioner and opens his cellphone.
Gordon: Yes, Gordon speaking... yeah, I know it's you Stacy.
Stacy: We got a trail on him, sir.
Gordon: Solid information? No rumors?
Stacy: Yes sir.
Gordon: Call everybody, the Task Force, the SWAT, street officers, we'll get him, more than 10 years hiding and we're finally getting him.
Janus Cosmetics Tower
Freeze: It's not hard enough, look at this!
A scientist welds Freeze's new suit.
Scientist: Yes it is. It's made of a new metal alloy, your old costume was amazing but this is the future.
Freeze The future looks weak and ridiculous.
Scientist: I know this may look like the costume of a 60s TV Show Villain that has catch phrases like "You know what killed the dinosaurs? THE ICE AGE". But this is the new fashion of science, Mr. Fries, retro fashion.
Freeze: This is what I have to learn from you?
Mr. Freeze smashes the head of the scientist. Anya Volkova opens the door and closes it quickly.
Anya: Sir, this isn't as wise as I thought.
Black Mask: Are you talking about Freeze?
Anya: Yes, I'm talking about Freeze.
Black Mask: I prefer Freeze working for me rather than against me, Ms. Volkova.
Anya: Freeze works for who pays better, he needs the money to finish his research. If someone pays higher, he'll betray you easily. I don't get excited with psychopaths.
Black Mask: Talking about psychos, the Red Hood, maybe my last request was too mired in subtlety. I want him dead, when I say "dead" I mean beaten, broken, his helmet nailed on my wall, his freaking head on my collection kind of dead!
Anya: Noted, we'll take further precautions on every deal we make-
Black Mask: F*ck that! It's already time for him to learn that his dealing with powerful people, we're going on offense. Rough up his business, something loud that will echo through the underworld! When he shows up to take us down, we'll have birthday party waiting for him! And when I say "party", I mean a massive whole lot of people carrying their rifles and waiting to shot through his head! I want his body on my dinner table!
Anya: I figured sir.
Black Mask: Just being clear. Also, call that new boy we hired, Jay, Jones, whatever.
Anya: Jason.
Black Mask: I SAID WHATEVER. I want him and Freeze to get Red Hood, do something to bring his attention and kill him off.
Anya: Yes sir.
Black Mask: COULD YOU STOP SAYING "YES SIR" EVERY TIME I ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING?
Anya: Yes s- Yes boss.
At Old Gotham Docks
A giant group of henchmen are guarding a ship filled by containers, a crane pulls a shipment from the ship and puts it next to a white Volkswagen truck.
Thug: C'mon, we're late.
Thug 2: Calm down, the boss won't be mad if we bring the whole shipment without any damage, without any Batman to bother us. Even if he comes, we'll end him.
Thug: Don't be ridiculous.
Thug 2: Look at these guns! They will clear our way so fast-
The batclaw pulls the gun from the thug, Batman takes his gun and disassembles the gun parts.
Thug 2: Shoot him!
The thugs try shooting Batman but Nightwing gets them from behind.
Nightwing: You're so full of yourselves and full of stupidness too.
Batman throws batarangs on the gun barrels, they explode from inside, hurting the thugs hands. Nightwing ties them to the truck, he then throws one of his escrima sticks on the truck's transmission, the truck rides with the thugs tied on it and hits the wall.
Nightwing: These guns... they were armed for a war, Batman. Do you recognize them?
Batman: Yes, automatic machine guns with a special computed sight, they were stolen from Queen Industries. They're amateurs.
Batman scans the shipment's boxes, and opens it carefully.
Batman: You can open the others, there aren't explosives.
Nightwing: Okay, what's your pick? Guns? Technology? Drugs? Maybe a surprise?
They open the boxes. They're full of criminal stuff, Mr. Freeze older guns, Captain Boomerang's scarf, Riddler's hat, Penguin's umbrellas, Joker's gun with a giant barrel and playing cards.
Nightwing: What's that?
Batman: What it looks like. Collector's stuff.
Nightwing: With no doubt but why? Why would someone buy these stuff?
Batman: I've seen worse.
Nightwing: Yeah I know that. Well, at least we'll have some new stuff at the Trophy Room. Oh fu-
Batman: What?
Nightwing: RUN!
The box starts beeping, Nightwing grabs Batman and jumps from the ship. A bomb explodes the ship, Batman and Nightwing are on the water while the ship sinks on the bay. Batman and Nightwing climb the ledge of the docks. They're wet.
Batman: Are you okay?
Nightwing: Yes, I am, but it's the third time someone tries to explode us.
Batman: Yeah but this time, it's not the Red Hood, it's someone new, he only attacks the Black Mask and this isn't his style.
A deformed man with a gas mask holding a cane watches them and laughs.
In the other side of the city, Mr. Freeze enters the Stacked Deck, a pub in Gotham City owned by Tobias Whale. He freezes the police officers inside it and the door.
Freeze: Nobody will get out.
They all shoot Freeze. After they all need to reload, Freeze smiles.
Freeze: This is your best? Haha this armor is really amazing.
Outside the place, people hear screams and watch the blood gushing on the windows.
My Alibi
The club is making a lot of noise, the entrance is filled by security and a giant line waits to enter the club. A car stops in front of the club, closing the street, inside it thugs load their guns. It's tires start screeching, people scream and the car enters the club by breaking the front doors. The thugs get out of the car and start shooting just to scare people, they shoot all the security and attack strippers and bartenders. A thug picks up a bartender and puts her head against the table.
Bartender: What are you doing? We have protection from Red Hood!
The thug points the gun to her head and removes her pants, he starts unbuttoning his pants.
Thug: Is that right? Well, take this message to your boss.
The woman starts screaming and crying, he laughs and pushes her against the table, he removes her panties and starts to r*pe her, Jason watches it trying to control his emotions. He kills all of them, the bartender stops crying and hugs him.
Jason: Get out fast, I'm thinking in something.
The bartender runs and Jason calls Black Mask.
Black Mask: What do you want?
Jason: I-it was him. He kille-ed all of them, he left m-me alive and said t-to send you a me-message.
Black Mask: Stop crying you little p*ssy. What's the message?
Jason: H-he said he wanted to "Deal with Business" in an addre-ess.
Black Mask: What's the address? And I already said for you to stop crying.
Jason: Baker Street, 225C, it's a wa-warehouse.
Black Mask turns the cellphone off, Jason starts smiling and runs away from the place. He throws a Molotov Cocktail on the place and it starts burning, the flames consume everything, from the bodies to the insides.
The Warehouse, Hours Later
Thug: Are you sure it will work?
Freeze punches the gate and breaks a hole in it.
Freeze: Happy now?
Thug: I was talking about we aren't stealth enough or either protected.
Freeze: You'll all die then.
Someone: They're not the only ones.
Red Hood points an assault rifle to them, with laser sights and grenade launchers.
Red Hood: I didn't expect you here Freeze, it doesn't changes anything but it's interesting. I thought that after what happened in Arkham City, you would change, mainly because of Nora.
Freeze: Shut up you pig, don't dare talk about her.
Red Hood: What's all that about, Fries? Working with criminals because of money...Own, that's really something I didn't expect from you, Snowballs. What Nora would think about it?
Thug: That's going too far, just kill him.
Freeze: Shut up, you idiot, that's none of your business.
He freezes the thug and kicks him, breaking him into pieces of ice.
Red Hood: Ouch, that must have hurt, like watching your wife in ice for years.
Freeze: I'll kill you you son of a b*tch!
Freeze shoots his gun on Red Hood, he starts shooting his machine guns, the bullets explode in the heads of the thugs. Freeze remains untouched. Red Hood punches Freeze's armor but breaks his hand, he falls on the ground groaning of pain. All the windows and door are kicked down and at least forty thugs enter the warehouse, all of them wearing the classic animal masks.
Freeze: Don't stop shooting until he's dead.
Red Hood jumps and covers behind a pillar, the bullets come from everywhere, one of them even hits his helmet. He pulls a detonator and presses it, but instead of exploding, several boxes open and sentry guns start shooting the enemies, they are all killed in a matter of seconds. Freeze, again, is standing untouched.
Red Hood: Your armor is tougher than I expected, let's see how you go against this.
He jumps over Freeze and leaves an explosive on his back. The explosion throws Hood away. Freeze gets up, unharmed.
Freeze: Congratulations. You succeeded in making me angry.
Freeze Gun is hit by a batarang, it explodes and the pieces fly all over the ground.
Batman: You're not the only one.
Nightwing jumps over Batman and falls on Freeze. Batman grabs his hand and gives him a push, making him kick Red Hood. Batman puts his foot over Freeze's chest and deactivates his suit. Freeze loses breath, the sensation is like burning from inside.
Batman: Fries! Stop this madness, stop all of this, not for me but for Nora. You don't need to gain money to save her anymore, Wayne Enterprises is doing a research on her illness, you're always welcome there, remember what happened with Boyle, if it wasn't for Wayne, he would never be arrested for what he done.
Freeze: I-I'm sorry Ba-atman. But ple-ease, sto-op this.
Batman turns his suit on but knocks him out. Meanwhile, Nightwing fights Red Hood, they punch each other at the same time using the same technique.
Nightwing: How you know that movement?
Red Hood picks his knife and stabs Dick's leg, the same that was with protection. Dick groans in pain, Bruce looks back and both Red Hood and Mr. Freeze are already disappeared.
Gotham Airport
A private jet lands on the airstrip, the door opens and an old man with a scar on his face, wearing a suit and carrying a rose gets out of it. It's Carmine Falcone, the Roman, the man who years ago was the greatest crime lord in Gotham.
Carmine: Are we clear? No distractions or interventions?
Luca Falcone: No, it's clean and bright for us, cousin Carmine.
Carmine: Great.
They both enter a car, it's a modified Dodge Caravan.
Luca: It's great to see you, even with this circumstances, we miss you Carmine.
Carmine: I miss this city and you too cousin Luca. How things have been with the family?
Luca: Well we lost some space to that costumed criminals but we're still the leader of the Five Families.
Carmine: What about Dent? When he discovers I'm back, I'll be priority on his life.
Luca: He hasn't been seen for a while, but the last times they saw him on public, he was just playing with that coin.
Carmine: And Batman?
Luca: Taking on the streets as usual.
Carmine: Maintain them out of the way, I don't want any interventions. This city will be mine again.
In Aparo Avenue
A truck is carrying another shipment for Black Mask, the thugs are now carrying high-tech rifles and the security is doubled. A thug suddenly disappears in the shadows, another one miss his presence and enters a dark alley. Some groans are heard on it, the thug returns unharmed but with some blood on the clothes.
Thug: Where's that blood from?
Thug 2: I just killed a cat right in the alley.
Thug: F*ck that dude. Ya know I love cats, never come near my home again.
Thug: Won't need to.
He shoots the thug and kills every other henchmen on the place, he then puts an explosive on the truck and explodes it.
On Janus Cosmetics Tower
Black Mask, Anya Volkova and several other thugs are in his office.
Black Mask: So you're telling me that son of a b*tch stole my guns again?
Anya: No, he blew up them. Destroyed the truck and shipment, killed the drivers and security.
Black Mask: DAMN IT! Of everyone he could be bothering, the Five Families, the Emperor Penguin, he chooses to bother me! ME!
Anya: At first, he was just enlisting anyone under our control to come work for him, now he seemingly starts to just kill them.
Black Mask: We got another vigilante with mental issues? Another Batman? One who doesn't mind all the war and blood?
Anya: He's not a Batman, he's still taking his part from off the streets but he's eliminating the competition. His next target is probably, you.
Black Mask gets angry and throws his desk away, the takes the computer and smashes it at one thug's head.
Black Mask: Why the hell this guy ain't dead, already?
Anya: We tried, we sent Freeze and forty of your gang after him at the warehouse.
Black Mask: Forty? Were they blind? I asked why he ain't dead?!
Black Mask punches other thug and kicks his face while he bleeds at the ground.
Black Mask: Why Batman doesn't end this little piece of sh*t and removes him from the surface of our planet?
Anya: Maybe he doesn't want to, maybe he wants to let you and Red Hood kill yourselves in a gang war. He could be waiting to-
Black Mask: Take on the winner? What do you think this is? A game? You're an idiot who doesn't know nothing about Batman! He's not letting him run wild killing everyone on his way, he can catch him either. Or it's something else, maybe we're stuck in the crossfire of their war. Can't you feel it?
A red dot marks Black Mask's head, he scares for a second and looks up. On top of a building, Red Hood is holding a bazooka, he salutes Black Mask. Black Mask starts running, Anya follows him and the other thugs do the same. He enters the Fire Exit.
Red Hood: Wow, he surely can move when he wants to.
Red Hood shoots the bazooka, the bullet enters the building and explodes in middle of the office. The explosion destroys most of the front part of the building and the inside of the building, even the fire exit's door is threw in the thugs going down the stairs. Black Mask jumps over Anya and saves her from being killed by the door.
Anya: You okay, Sir?
Black Mask: I'm not dead, that's good enough. That's time to change up the chess pieces for this war.
Anya: How?
Black Mask: Well, I'll have to do business in a very cold place and I hate cold. I'll have to negotiate with a Russian friend that has a grudge on me.
Anya: That doesn't sounds good.
Black Mask: What a hell of a nightmare if will be.
Days later on the lands of Russia
Two thugs carry a wounded member of the Red Rocket Brigade.
Black Mask: This is a gift for you Yevtuschenko.
The Russian politician, Andrei Yevtuschenko greets Black Mask. He looks at the poor man and talks to him.
Andrei: Do the government still uses you Rocket Reds? How old are you? 24? You know what happened to your predecessors?
Rocket Red: General Andrei Yevtuschenko... under the authority of president Vladmir Putin, you're arrested for stealing government property, including... weapons and documents... and for crimes related to... betraying Mother Russia.
Andrei: Mother Russia? The real Mother Russia died after the Cold War, boy.
The Ex-General shoots the Rocket Red.
Andrei: Burn his body and put his ashes on an urn, treat him like one of us. Sorry for the interruption Sionis, I suppose you came here to see what I have to sell?
Black Mask: Indeed, show me everything you got here.
Andrei picks up a giant gun, it looks old and kinda dirty.
Andrei: This is the famous laser rifle they developed to kill aliens on the Moon, well they didn't get there in enough time and when they got there, there weren't no aliens.
Black Mask: I'll pass.
Black Mask stands in front of a capsule, inside it, a frozen man, bald and carrying a red star tattoo. He has a silver robotic arm, too.
Black Mask: It can't be!
Andrei: It can't but indeed it is, the greatest weapon the KGB ever had, our beast, our monster. He was put in this stasis after the end of his agency, here he is and most of our stuff too.
Black Mask: How much for it?
Andrei: Well, we can discuss about that.
Batman is looking at the bat computer, thinking about what happened at the boat. Analyzing the facts, the explosion this night, the shipment, collections.
Batman = Who benefits?
Batman opens the file of Edward Lamont, one of his most recent cases.
Batman = Edward Lamont IV is still disappeared, the kidnapper has sent a letter to F.B.I, no fingerprints, only a little dirty, the officers described it like "the smell looked like it came from the sewers", he wanted millions for him and yet, they plan to pay for the boy, thankfully his family is a friend of the President's family, Luthor and Edward Lamont III were great friends.
Batman opens the interrogation camera files.
Batman = Edward was at his grandmother's house, she went out to buy food for them, when she came back, her grandson had disappeared. She wasn't lying, her expressions demonstrated stress, fear and... sadness, someone lying would demonstrate stress, fear and normally, anger, only a true actor can fake those emotions, one of Alfred's ability, but she didn't have any precedents or record of actress. Her tears weren't anywhere near from false, I recognize them, the fear of loss.
Batman opens the file of the crime scene photos.
Batman = He entered in the back yard, the grass had footprints and the flowers were crushed, the footprints were really big, the feet were inconsistent, with fingers in bizarre sizes. The door was kicked down, it was smashed with the left hand, left handed for sure, he was strong, the wood had only one sign of being punched. The floor next to the door was wet, the water was from the sewers, there were some herbs and animal scales on it. Maybe Ivy took control of Killer Croc, but why? The scales couldn't match any D.N.A. from Croc, it's not human and neither animal.
Batman opens the file of another case, the Batmobile crash. He takes a look at the bandages, he notices a strange symbol at the bandages. He searches in Lamont's case, the letter was made with letters cut from magazines and newspapers, one of the letter is exactly like the symbol, the "A" from "Deαr F.B.I. Agents". Batman then searches the cameras of the ship explosion, the name of the ship was Finαl Offer II.
Batman = Who benefits with all that? It's an Άλφα (Alpha) symbol, the first letter from the Greek alphabet, the beginning, the last letter is Ωμέγα (Omega), the end. If this is the beginning, what's the end?
On next chapter, KGBeast takes on Red Hood!
Thanks for Max Schreck, KingArthurCurry and Batwoman. The story was too big, so I just used the spoiler thing for it.

Inquiry Question
Reading 2: Physical Challenge and the Road Ahead
Within three years of finishing law school in 1907, Franklin Roosevelt entered political life. This is his public office time line or chronology:
New York State Senator 1910, 1912
A time line is like a calendar of history. Although it provides dates and events, it does not reveal the life experience of those years or what really happened to the individual who lived it. Franklin Delano Roosevelt lived his remarkable life on many levels or layers of experience. He was a husband, a father, and a son. He was a lawyer, but he loved architecture and was an amateur historian. While politics was an important part of his life, Roosevelt's character, formed at Springwood in his youth, would be transformed by illness and physical challenges.
The 1920 presidential campaign set Republican Warren G. Harding and his running mate, Calvin Coolidge, against Democrat James M. Cox and his vice presidential choice, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Cox and Roosevelt ran a hard race, but they were defeated by a seven million vote margin. Franklin Roosevelt remained optimistic. Roosevelt stayed active in Democratic politics and continued making public appearances. As president of the Greater New York Boy Scouts Council, he visited a Boy Scout camp at Bear Mountain State Park in New York on July 27, 1921. He then joined his wife, Eleanor, and their children at their vacation home on Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada. On August 10, 1921 he became feverish and ill, and over the course of several days gradually lost the use of his legs. The infantile paralysis (polio) virus had struck down the promising young politician. It is now thought that Roosevelt may have caught the polio virus at the Boy Scout camp and then carried it with him to Campobello. Although he was spared complete paralysis, which would have forced him to live out his life in an iron lung, he never walked again without assistance.
The recovery of Roosevelt's health came slowly. He spent that winter in the family's New York City house on East 65th Street. His mother, Sara Roosevelt, wanted him to retire to Hyde Park, but his wife, his doctor, and his political advisor, Louis Howe, all agreed with Franklin that he should not retire. Realizing that they had to keep Franklin in touch with political life, Louis Howe coached Eleanor, launching her into public life in 1922. She became her husband's eyes, ears, and legs, keeping him informed on all aspects of American life and politics. Women had voted for the first time in 1920, and these new voters were a ready audience for Eleanor Roosevelt. Her public contact and observations for Franklin continued throughout his lifetime, although she was criticized by some for her participation on his behalf.
In the spring of 1922, Franklin Roosevelt moved from New York City to Hyde Park for the fresh air and sunshine that he needed to recuperate. While at Springwood, his strength slowly returned. Franklin took prescribed walks on the long graveled driveway from the house a quarter of a mile to the Albany Post Road (U. S. Route 9) and back again. He used crutches, 14 pounds of metal leg braces, and a lot of upper body strength to move his legs along. He progressed a little further each day until he finally reached the gateposts. In later years, he thought that this exercise probably injured his health rather than helped it.
Eleanor Roosevelt writes of that time, "All that summer at Hyde Park, my husband struggled to do a great number of things which would make it possible for him to be more active." For the next seven years he continued every effort at physical rehabilitation. This search kept him moving from New York City to Hyde Park to Florida and eventually to Warm Springs, Georgia, where he discovered a retreat for polio physical therapy.
The first break in this routine of intense therapy came when he briefly re-entered public life in 1924. Franklin delivered the famous "Happy Warrior" speech nominating Governor Al Smith of New York for President at the Democratic National Convention. Delegates and citizens received him with acclaim not only for the speech, but also for his physical courage. Frances Perkins, later appointed by Roosevelt as the first woman in U.S. history to serve in the presidential cabinet, wrote, "Franklin Roosevelt underwent a spiritual transformation during the years of his illness.... The man emerged completely warmhearted, with humility of spirit and with a deeper philosophy. Having been to the depths of trouble, he understood the problems of people in trouble."¹
Continuing his physical therapy was most important to Roosevelt, for he found improvement to his health and paralyzed legs during his treatments at Warm Springs, Georgia. With this in mind, he returned to his efforts soon after the 1924 convention and continued until 1927. At that time, Governor Smith was running for president against Herbert Hoover, and he needed Roosevelt's help. Smith felt that Roosevelt was a strong candidate to win the state election and take over as Governor of New York. This would hold the state to the Democratic Party and secure the 45 electoral votes that Smith needed to win the 1928 election.
At first, Roosevelt flatly refused because he wanted to spend more time strengthening his legs. He did everything he could to avoid speaking to Smith, who was very persuasive. Roosevelt was in Warm Springs at the time and was flooded with letters, telegrams, and calls from Smith trying to change his mind. The fact was that the Democrats needed his help, and if he refused he might not be able to count on party leaders to support him in the future. He was forced to choose between his ambition and his physical therapy. When he accepted a call from his wife on Smith's behalf, the choice had been made.
Questions for Reading 2
1. The advantages of wealth and social position could not protect Roosevelt from illness or physical disability. In what ways do you think Roosevelt's private life changed after his limited recovery from polio? In what ways do you think his public life changed? Why? Describe how you might feel if such a thing happened to you. In what ways might your daily life and routine change?
2. Continuing in politics and public life after his illness was Roosevelt's choice. Why might he have made that choice rather than retire from public view as was customary for disabled people at that time? How do you think Roosevelt's family, including his wife, mother, and children, felt about his choice?
3. During Franklin Roosevelt's recovery from polio, Eleanor Roosevelt became his agent in public life and, in fact, began her own public career. What important constitutional event happened in 1920 which both Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt were able to use to their political advantage? Research and find out, specifically, some of the activities Eleanor Roosevelt undertook to assist her husband. What was Roosevelt doing while his wife worked on his behalf?

Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent is attending the memorial for teammate Jerry Brown, who died in a car accident that led to intoxication manslaughter charges against Brent.
Brent and team owner Jerry Jones were among those arriving at the service for Brown on a chilly Tuesday at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas.
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett says the team would "support Josh 100 percent in every way that we can." A spokesman says the NFL has "no issue" with Brent being at team facilities.
Police in the Dallas suburb of Irving say Brent was speeding Saturday when his vehicle struck a curb and flipped. Brown was pronounced dead at a hospital.

What Happens Next: 'The Walking Dead' Season 3 Details Revealed
Zombie masses will continue to live on (or something like that) in AMC's The Walking Dead, which has officially been renewed for a third season.
Following fantastic ratings for the first two episodes of the show's second season - including record-breaking numbers for the season two premiere, titled "What Lies Ahead" (read our review) - AMC has gone ahead and (not surprisingly) put in an order for at least one more season of the horror/drama series.
Here is an official statement on the matter, from AMC president Charlie Collier:
"Today we are pleased to announce that the 'dead' shall live as we proudly renew 'The Walking Dead' for a third season on AMC and, globally, with our terrific partners at Fox International Channels. We are thankful for everyone's contribution in front of and behind the camera as we continue to make 'The Walking Dead' a unique television experience. And, we are so proud as it continues to set viewership records around the world."
While "What Lies Ahead" seemed to inspire love/hate reactions from dedicated Walking Dead fans, that episode's (relatively) mixed reception had little effect on the ratings for its followup, "Bloodletting", which managed to attract some 6.7 million total viewers in the U.S., dropping only about 8% in total viewership from the record-breaking season 2 opener.
That strong hold was proof enough for AMC that fans are still interested enough in the direction the Walking Dead TV show is taking (from a narrative standpoint) to not abandon ship anytime soon.
However, there's legitimate reason to be concerned (or, at least wonder) about the quality of The Walking Dead once the show reaches the half-way point of season 2 - which marks the end of Frank Darabont's time as the series' head honcho. The messy behind-the-scenes drama which led to Darabont's departure between the airing of season 1 and 2 was bad enough to leave many fans worried about the show's quality in later season 2 episodes.
We'll soon find out whether Darabont's guiding input was the glue holding this critically-respected ratings monster together - or if the rest of the Walking Dead production team (including new showrunner Glen Mazzara and original Walking Dead comic book creator/show producer Robert Kirkman) can keep things running smoothly for at least another season and a half.
The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9/8c on AMC

The results are in and the winners of the Threadless 2008 Bestees Awards have been announced! Red by Kneil Melicano took home the big prize – People's Choice for Design of the Year. I did "not bad" on my Bestees predictions, guessing just 3 out of the 12 awards correctly. That's not bad considering the sheer amount of designs and designers at Threadless. I was able to predict ir0cko as Gallery Photographer of the Year, Monster Mash as Collaboration of the Year, and fatheed aka Aled Lewis as Designer of the Year.Â
I have to admit that I am surprised that Red by Kneil Melicano took home the big $20,000 prize. There was major hype surrounding When Panda's Attack and Foam Monster In Emotional Reunion with Severed Limb. Congratulations to Kneil for beating out some awesome designs!Â
Here are the rest of the winners, congratulations for all:
