Karl Henry says the festive programme can be defining for Wolves and their season.
Stale Solbakken's men face Middlesbrough, Blackpool, Peterborough, Ipswich and Crystal Palace before turning their attentions to the FA Cup.
"It is a busy time and one which can make or break your season. You can find yourselves winning four or five on the spin and jumping up the league or losing a few games and losing ground quickly," Henry said.
"We knew where we were not good enough and not where we wanted to be.
"Now we're five points off the play-offs and have got to keep this form going. It's no good doing it for one or two games – we have to keep it going for longer."
Henry says the win over Blues was one for the fans to relish.
"We have been poor at home.
"You are never going to be a success in any league if your home record is poor," he said.
"Ours has not been good enough so far and it's nice to get something to give the fans, something to shout about. It was a great atmosphere but the fans have been great all season and in fact since all the time I have been here.
"It should be a place that teams fear coming to and even when we were in the Premier League we wanted teams to come and know they were going to get a tough time. It has been too easy for teams coming here so far this season but hopefully no more."
Wolves went nine games without a victory but have back-to-back wins with Henry back in the side.
"It may look like that but I was involved in a lot of those games we didn't win before!" he said.
"I'm just delighted we're back on track. It was a really good performance last week and a good second half on Saturday.
"All the talking that we've done about our second half performances – finally we've got it right.
"The first half wasn't really what we wanted but we managed to get it right in the second and get the win.
"We looked like scoring in the second half and that was coming on the back of scoring four last week when it could have been seven.
"It is really positive to be creating so many chances and it is very promising."
Henry says the new system has given Wolves a licence to thrill.
"We now expect our front four to be getting goals," he said.
"Bjorn Sigurdarson has got a lot of power when he gets going and has been phenomenal in the last couple of games and Sako, Doyle and Ebanks-Blake as well.
"The four of them have the capabilities of scoring a lot of goals this season and the way they are playing I think they will.
"If we can keep this up we will be right back up there."

The New Year has already brought significant momentum into the Bay Area Housing Market. We reported on inventory status' in the local markets in our previous Bay Area Housing Market Update article.
February metrics so far affirm some trends we had previously predicted. As expected, inventories of homes for sale has begun to grow in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties.
In San Mateo County the count of single family home and condo listings for sale has increase from 370 one month ago today.
A 21% increase in inventory.
Similarly in Santa Clara County the count of single family home and condo listings for sale has increased from 652 one month ago to 801 today, which is approximately a 23% increase in inventory.
In September 2012 Ilya Dorfman predicted the following trend in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, which was posted on LocalVector.com (http://localvector.com/sell/):
"From January of 2010 through the second week of August there were 9,485 closed transactions in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. There were 9,364 for the same period in 2011, virtually no change from the previous year. This year there were 10,126 in the same period, more than 8% increase. If this trend continues we can expect roughly 16,350 transactions closed in both counties by the end of this year, 1,230 total transactions more than last year."
Now that 2012 has closed we see that his prediction was pretty much spot on!
A total of 16,376 residential transactions have closed in 2012, which is a 1,262 increase over the previous year.

Update 5 p.m. The National Hurricane Center expects tropical depression 9 to become a tropical storm by Tuesday as it makes a turn to the north-northwest in the Gulf of Mexico.
The depression has winds of 35 mph, just 4 mph below what's needed to become a tropical storm.
"Given the current forecast, a tropical storm or hurricane watch may be require for a portion of the Florida Gulf coast as early as tomorrow morning," hurricane center forecasters wrote in their 5 p.m. update.
A tropical storm warning has been issued for parts of North Carolina as tropical depression eight heads toward the coast with better organization.
The cyclone is expected to slow down tomorrow and start moving north, but could still swipe the Outer Banks with tropical storm force winds and high surf.
"Due to the close pass of the cyclone to the Outer Banks, a tropical storm warning has been issued for the coast of North Carolina from Cape Lookout to Oregon Inlet, including Pimlico Sound," forecasters wrote in the 5 p.m. advisory.
A tropical storm warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 24 hours.
Previous story:
The Atlantic basin burst to life Sunday with the National Hurricane Center now watching three tropical cyclones.
- Tropical Depression 8 is off the coast of North Carolina and could become a tropical storm as it moves closer to the Outer Banks on Tuesday.
- Tropical Depression 9 is the former Invest 99-L that southeast Florida was watching closely last week. The system is moving into the eastern Gulf of Mexico and is expected to take a right turn into the Big Bend area of the state as a tropical storm.
- Hurricane Gaston is the first major hurricane of the season, but is not expected to impact land.
- Check The Palm Beach Post radar map.
This is the first time since 2013 that three active tropical cyclones were in the Atlantic, according to Phil Klotzbach, hurricane researcher with Colorado State University.
There have been no major changes as of the 11 a.m. advisory, although tropical depression nine could become a tropical storm within the next 12 hours.
Tropical depression nine, which was the long-watched 99-L, was spinning through the Florida Straits this morning with 35 mph winds and could become a tropical storm later today, the National Hurricane Center said at its 5 a.m. advisory.
The system is sodden with rain and is expected to dump 3 to 4 inches over extreme South Florida and the Florida Keys through Wednesday.
Isolated areas could get up to 7 inches of rain.
Tropical depression nine, which is on a track that takes it through Tampa and the Big Bend region on Thursday, will produce thunderstorms and squally rain in Palm Beach County, especially along the coast.
But, Jeff Masters, co-founder of Weather Underground and a former NOAA Hurricane Hunter, said the storm hasn't finished "perplexing us yet."
Download the Palm Beach Post WeatherPlus app here.
"The model predictions for the future intensity of the storm remain wildly divergent, even if we now have growing confidence that this storm will track into the coast of Florida north of Tampa on Thursday," Masters wrote in his blog. "I support a forecast of TD 9 being a strong tropical storm near hurricane strength at landfall—70 mph winds—until the models come into better alignment."
Tropical Depression eight is 230 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph and moving west-northwest at 10 mph.
The next tropical storm will earn the name Hermine. Following Hermine is Ian.
A tropical storm watch is in effect for the coast of North Carolina from Cape Lookout to Oregon Inlet. More watches and warnings may be added later today. A tropical storm watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area within 48 hours.
The system is forecast to reach maximum sustained winds of 45 mph by Wednesday.
An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter that flew into the system this morning found that it remained a weak cyclone as it continued northwest at 9 mph, according to a special 8 a.m. update.
Hurricane Gaston became the first major hurricane of 2016 Sunday, ramping up to 115 mph winds as it swirls 575 miles east of Bermuda.
While no threat to land, Gaston has remained a long-lived hurricane, with a central pressure of 960 mb.
Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 35 miles from its center, with tropical storm force winds extending up to 140 miles.

Create your own sophisticated applications to analyze and display geospatial information using QGIS and Python
About This Video
Experience the speed and agility of QGIS and Python by building sophisticated geospatial applications
Discover how the QGIS Python API can be used to display information on a map
Learn how to build a complete and sophisticated turnkey mapping application using the PyQGIS library
In Detail
Using the more advanced aspects of the QGIS geographical information system, this video course shows how to build sophisticated geospatial applications using Python. Geospatial applications are often very complicated; using QGIS, however, you can avoid a lot of this complexity by developing at a higher level, making use of the many viewing tools and analyzing and editing geospatial data provided by the QGIS system. Using these tools, you can build more sophisticated geospatial applications with less time and effort.
The course starts with an in-depth look at the QGIS Python API, concentrating on how this library can be used to display information on a map. We then look at how external applications that use the PyQGIS library can let the user select and edit geospatial features. We go on to use the knowledge we have gained to implement a sophisticated turnkey mapping system called ForestTrails. This application includes the ability to add, edit, and delete "tracks" on top of a detailed basemap, and lets you find the shortest path between two points by following the network of tracks. This example will serve as a springboard for the user's own developmental efforts, as well as being a complete and very useful program in its own right.

Yuri Kochiyama -- a long-time political activist who famously appeared in a photo in LIFE, cradling Malcolm X's head at Harlem's Audubon Ballroom the night he was assassinated in February 1965 -- died at her home in Berkeley, Calif., on Sunday. She was 93 years old.
Interned along with members of her family and tens of thousands of other Japanese-Americans during World War II, the California native and her husband, Bill Kochiyama -- a Nisei soldier who fought for the U.S. during the war -- were in the vanguard of countless civil-rights and social-justice battles over the last six decades.

What is the significance of the title A Separate Peace by John Knowles?

The title A Separate Peace is taken from Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms:
I was glad to be alone. I had the paper ... about the war. I was going to forget the war. I had made a separate peace. (Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms)
Knowles' title has many symbolic inferences. The most important perhaps is signified by Gene's narratorial comment as he reflects back on that time when he and the other boys were sixteen and away at school alone together.
I think we reminded [the elderly substitute teachers] of what peace was like, we boys of sixteen. We registered with no draft board, we had taken no physical examinations. We were carefree and wild, ... a sign of the life the war was being fought to preserve.
This remark both signifies and foreshadows that personal peace parallels war's peace but, unlike war's peace, which is collective, personal peace is separate; it's private; it is exclusively one's own. Some ways a separate peace was achieved in the characters lives related to youth; to guilt; to the war; to life and death; to growing up; and to peace of mind.
- Peace is achieved between Finny and Gene after Finny's hospitalization.
- Gene attains peace form guilt.
- Finny attains peace when he accepts his physical disability caused by the accident that prevents him from enlisting.
- Finny attains peace when he accepts Gene's part in his accident as an inner impulse, not an inner intent based on a secret hatred: "It was just some kind of blind impulse you had ... it wasn't some kind of hate you've felt all along."
- Finny and Gene attain peace between themselves.
- Finny attains ultimate peace when he dies, with his heart at peace with Gene.
- Gene attains peace within himself as he comes of age and enlists.
- Personal peace attained contrasts with the peace from war only hoped for though not yet not realized.
- Gene finds peace of mind.
- The boys attain peace from the fear that gripped them being alone together in the face of life and war away at school.
Only Phineas never was afraid, only Phineas never hated anyone. Other people experienced this fearful shock somewhere, this sighting of the enemy, and so began an obsessive labor of defense,...

The title of the John Knowles novel A Separate Peace is significant because that is what both major characters--Gene and Finny--need to achieve. Both have separate talents. Finny has is athletically talented, and Gene is academically talented. Yet despite their "friendship", Gene is threatened by Finny's abilities. After Finny's accident, the characters become codependent. Gene begins to pursue athletics because Finny can't, and Finny trains Gene in order to live vicariously through Gene's involvement in sports. Consequently, their characters do not develop a separate sense of identity.

There are a couple of ways in which the title of the novel is significant. One has to do with World War II and one has to do with Gene's relationship to Finny.
The book is, of course, set during World War II. However, the war that is raging out in the world hardly seems to have an impact at the Devon School. So that is one sense of the title -- the school is separate from the world that is at war.
At the beginning of the novel, Finny has made up a peaceful world of his own and he invites his friend Gene to come inhabit it with him. At this point, Gene can only find peace through his relationship with Finny. By the end of the book, however, he has sort of found himself (through dealing with the effects of hurting Finny) and has figured out how live with himself. So now he is separate from Finny and is at peace.
The title can mean that Finny has created a world of his own which creates a peace for Gene that he understood and enjoyed because he then felt that there was no pain in the world, caused by World War II. Gene's separate peace was Finny's own world where war was a giant conspiracy...
Hope it helped!! :)

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ –
May grace and peace be yours in abundance (I Peter 1:2a). – ….. –
In February I began a series of brief articles on the Marks of a Missional Congregation relying heavily on Stephen P. Bouman's, The Mission Table: Renewing Congregation & Community (© 2013 Augsburg Fortress).
Each article includes Scripture, questions for reflection and discussion, and a prayer. Perhaps your church council, adult study, youth group, coffee group will use these monthly writings as a time to engage in learning, discernment and reflection together. Previous month's articles are available on the synod website: www.albertasynod.ca
A congregation in mission faces paralysis with courage.
John 5:1-9 tells the story of Jesus appearing at the hour of worship in Jerusalem. At that place was a pool called Bethesda, and near it, in the narthex (five of them actually), lay many who were blind, lame, paralyzed on their mats. Those with the means – with the help, with the right connections, resources, or friends – got to the pool. One man had been lying on his mat in sight of the healing pool for thirty-eight years.
"When Jesus say him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, 'Do you want to be made well?'" (5:6).
At first reading Jesus' question may appear to be insensitive. The man had been waiting for thirty-eight years to 'get to the healing pool.' The question roused the man to spirited response. He spits out his anger: "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; and while I am making my way, someone else steps down ahead of me" (5:7).
Why, indeed would Jesus ask this man, "Do you want to be made well?" It is the only question that matters. If the man doesn't want to be made well, he will continue to make a life for himself sitting by the side of the pool.
All of us, sisters and brothers, are on our mats. All of us are at the many tables of the church together. Do we want to be made well?
It is the only question for congregations stalled in their ministry, timid in their stewardship, casual in their discipleship stifled in their imagination about the future, afraid of the changing communities outside their doors.
It is the only question for those who have endured tragedy and resent the whole world moving on while they are stuck. "You, heart closed, turned inward, seething, paralyzed by what happened, do you really want to be made well?"
It is the only question for a world paralyzed by anger, sitting beside the pool on the mat of its many divisions. Individually, in our congregations, in our relationships – do we really want to be made well – or will we clutch our rationalizations, our fears, our additions, and our self-delusions and self-absorption and talk about why we never get to the pool? Will we stop trying to drag ourselves to the pool we know we will never reach long enough to notice the Healer standing in our midst?
The man by the pool was caught in a thirty-eight year cycle of anger. The root meaning for the Old Norse word angr is grief. It is mourning the distance between what was and what has become; it is grief over the distance between what is and what ought to be. He was apathetic (from the Greek a-pathos, "without feeling "). Jesus' question stirred him to grieving anger.
And then, when he stood, Jesus says: "Take your mat" (5:8). Why?
In the story, the healing by the pool led to testimony. The mat became the man's history of God's healing providence. Those who are healed have a story to tell about where and who they have been. The call to healing is a call not to leave our mats behind or to pretend that they are not there.
The call to healing does not make light of the divisions among us, of what our congregations has been through, of what we have lost. It is a call to angr – the grief of the gulf between what was and what has become, between what is and what should be. It is a holy longing to be well. It is a resolve to turn our gaze from the pool that is reflecting back our paralysis and to look into the eyes of Jesus standing with us in our paralysis – Jesus, the one who calls us to the place of grieving anger transformed to healing grace for the life of the world.
Read and Reflect: John 5:1-9
Discuss and Reflect:
- What in this reading leads you to say, "I wonder about…?", or, "I noticed…?"
- Comment on the statement: Jesus, the one who calls us to the place of grieving anger transformed to healing grace for the life of the world.
- In what ways is your congregation being courageous at this time in its life?
Sing together the prayer, Kyrie Eleison, using one of the following: EvLW 151 or 155; WOV 601 or 602.
The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13).
In Christ Jesus –
The Rev. Dr. Larry Kochendorfer, Bishop
Synod of Alberta and the Territories
Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada

Would you like to get started with Rapture – perhaps as an investment, gift, payment, or donation – but don't want to install anything on your computer right now? A Rapture paper wallet is a great solution!
A paper wallet is perfect for long term storage of cryptocurrency, because it is NOT connected to the internet – and is considered "cold storage" – meaning, it's unhackable. By using common sense strategies, it's easy to keep a paper wallet safe – in the same way you keep your cash and any fine jewelry or other valuables safe!
For best printing results:
Use a LASER printer (inkjet prints are more vulnerable to water damage).
Use of Chrome browser is recommended, landscape mode, print at 100% scale. For other browsers, printing at 95% scale may give better results.
Are you new at this? Read our quick tutorial below!
NOTE: for nominal amounts of cryptocurrency, or to "just get started out" – it's ok to print a paper wallet from a trusted online wallet generator. In the case of storing larger amounts of cryptocurrency, it is highly recommended to follow the steps below for maximum security.
Follow these instructions for maximum paper wallet security
1. Go offline
Your computer may be vulnerable to "spies" when you are generating the keys and printing them out (for example, if your computer has malware). The most important safety measure is to download the javascript wallet generator to your computer, then go offline and generate your wallet WHILE OFFLINE.
2. CLEANING UP – deleting those pesky cache files
The problem with printing out secure documents—even if your computer is 100% virus/trojan free—is that your printer driver and/or operating system may be keeping copies of the documents you print in some sort of "spool" or print queue. If a hacker or virus gets into your computer and knows to look for these cache files, then they can get your private keys and "sweep" your wallets. Here are some tips on how to securely delete your printer "spool" files (from bitcoinpaperwallet.com)
- Enable 'FileVault' to encrypt your filesystem so that cache files cannot be 'undeleted'.
- Set up a symbolic link from /private/var/spool/cups/cache/ to a removable media volume (e.g. a SD card) and disconnect it when not in use.
- Use an encrypted filesystem so that your cache files cannot be 'undeleted'.
- Read this FAQ from bitcoinpaperwallet.com on how to change the destination of your cache (spool) files to removable media.
- Use a live-boot CD instead of a regular hard drive OS install. This way when you reboot your computer, all cache files are deleted from memory and no jobs are ever written to disk.
3. Use a "clean machine"
If you've got loads of applications on your computer, or if you use your computer for "risky behavior" (like installing freeware or visiting java / flash websites) consider dedicating a computer (or at least a bootable partition / thumbdrive / "live CD") for paper wallet printing. Never take that install online. Transfer the wallet generator ZIP file from GitHub to your clean OS using a thumbdrive or other non-networked method. (credit: bitcoinpaperwallet.com)
4. Use an "old-fangled" printer (aka "dumb" printer)
Some advanced printers have internal storage (even hard drives) that preserve copies of printouts. This is a risk if someone gets access to your printer, or if you dispose of your printer. There is also the possibility that a smart enough printer can be hacked. This isn't quite tinfoil-hat level paranoia, as we've seen examples in the wild of viruses that rewrite the firmware of non-computer devices indirectly connected to the Internet. If this concerns you, don't use a fancy printer, and never let your printer have access to the Internet or to an Internet-connected computer. (credit: bitcoinpaperwallet.com)
Kudos and Credit to Canton Becker and bitcoinpaperwallet.com
for paper wallet development and resources.

Join the Library and the Aesthetics of Research for our 2018-2019 installment of The Book to Art Club featuring HG Wells' classic War of the Worlds. Started by the Library-As-Incubator Project, the Book to Art Club is a book and art-making club that exists virtually and in-person at libraries around the world.
Because we want as many points of entry as possible for our first go, any edition of War of the Worlds will do (and the varying illustrations are a bonus). Stop by the library to check out one of our copies, or get one through inter-library loan (or scope out the versions of the tales available online.)
Each session, we will be exploring a variety of art and craft techniques, culminating in a year's-end collaborative project.
The Aesthetics of Research is an ongoing initiative dedicated to exploring how resources shape and inform artistic practice across disciplines—from the tangible (print and electronic media, studios/workspaces, supply sources) to the intangible (workshops, tutorials, creative communities). With a slant toward non-traditional, indie, and underground art forms, the initiative seeks to connect artists to both resources and each other, forming a thriving network of like-minded creatives.

Three decades after the death of legendary Jamaican musician Bob Marley, an intriguing story is circulating.
"What most people don't know, and many try to cover up, is the fact that Bob Marley converted to Christianity in 1980," proclaims an article that has appeared on a number of websites.
One version states, "In fact, on Nov 4, 1980 he was baptized and became a member of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. When he was buried under Orthodox rites on May 21, 1981, it was with his Bible and his Gibson guitar!"
Other versions of the story say Ethiopia's Emperor Haile Selassie personally dispatched a bishop of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church to Jamaica who, after Selassie's death, led Marley to embrace Christianity and repudiate Rastafarianism.
Rastafarianism is a uniquely Jamaican religion that has a number of offshoots, but traditionally teaches that Selassie is the Messiah. The term "Rastafarian" is taken from Selassie's title before he was crowned emperor – Ras, which is Ethiopian for "Duke" – and his given name, Tafari.
According to the story, the devoutly Christian emperor became alarmed during the 1960s at the growth of Rastafarianism, whose followers smoke marijuana as holy communion and worship Selassie

Four years ago, the last time my mad-man-in-the-desert was playing in the SandBox, we did a lot of chatting on Yahoo Messenger. In one of the first emails he sent I noticed the last name said "Light". I knew that wasn't his last name and I questioned it. He had no idea what I was talking about and couldn't remember the circumstance of creating the account. So we just laughed and moved on. Later when he was state-side we fell out of the IM habit.
Last night, after not the best day at work......I can home.....signed on the computer......and there was a message from Mr. Light.
It was a thrill beyond words.
Welcome back, Mr. Light.

Center for
Biological Diversity
For Immediate Release: June 8, 2006
Endangered Species Act Protection for Corals
Conservationists Call on Regulatory Agencies to
San Francisco, Calif. – Today marks the first day that the Endangered Species Act officially protects Florida's staghorn and elkhorn corals, two species that are endemic to Florida and the Caribbean and on the brink of extinction.
The new protections require all federal agencies that issue permits, plan projects or take other actions that may affect the corals to consult with coral experts at the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). If NMFS determines the activity jeopardizes the corals, the agency will have to modify the activity to protect the species.
"Today we call on all federal agencies to partner with coral reef biologists and ensure their actions aid in the recovery of Florida's corals," said Brent Plater with the Center for Biological Diversity.
Elkhorn and staghorn corals were the primary components of coral reef ecosystems off the coast of Florida and in the Caribbean for nearly 500,000 years. However, in March 2005, NMFS scientists' concluded that coral abundance has declined by more than 97 percent throughout significant portions of the species' ranges since the 1970s – an unprecedented rate of loss that is unmatched in the known history of the Earth. A few months later, record hot water temperatures caused Caribbean corals to suffer the worst mortality event ever recorded by science, further decimating the species.
If these losses are not arrested and reversed, Florida's corals could go extinct within the foreseeable future, resulting not only in the loss of these irreplaceable forms of life, but also billions of dollars in tourist, recreational, medicinal and subsistence income.
On May 9, 2006, NMFS published in the Federal Register its decision to protect these two species under the Endangered Species Act. NMFS explained that the combined effects of sea temperature increases, hurricanes, coral diseases, pollution and other factors are pushing the species toward the brink of extinction, and therefore the species needs to be protected under the Endangered Species Act. To provide the public with adequate notice of its decision, NMFS delayed its effective date until today, June 8, 2006.
"The EPA and Army Corps of Engineers need to take this solemn charge seriously and begin the consultation process on sewage outfall pipes immediately," said Ed Tichenor of Palm Beach County Reef Rescue. "The destruction and loss of these coral species would result in the loss of billions of dollars to our economy, the loss of an unknown number of medicines, and decimate local biodiversity. It's just common sense to consider these impacts before it is too late."

In "Hellboy in Hell" #3, Mike Mignola continues Hellboy's journey in Hell as he discovers more about his past and his family.
Mignola succeeds in bringing the mood of Shakespearian tragedy to this chapter of Hellboy's life. Plot tropes like a struggle for succession and themes of blood and guilt and responsibility loom as large here as they do in "Macbeth" or "Hamlet." A bloody dagger, that resonant symbol of violence and shame, has a beautifully composed panel to itself.
The events themselves have the feeling of a half-understood nightmare, broken up only by Hellboy's down-to-earth observations and comments. "Hellboy in Hell" #3 is disorienting as a narrative, but it all seems intentional on Mignola's part in order to add to the atmosphere and feeling of horror, for the usually unflappable Hellboy is as shaken up by the scenery and events as the reader will likely be.
Mignola's art is beautiful as usual, with his angular lines and heavy shadows and inks that are minimal but expressive. The endless gothic tunnels and endless underground atriums of Pandemonium and other Hellish regions give Mignola ample canvas for visual fireworks. His backgrounds contain details like patterns etched in the stone of enormous walls. Early in "Hellboy in Hell" #3 there is a knockout panel with serpentine Angels of Destruction twisting across a purplish-pink sky or stars twinkling in a sky that stretches comb-like fingers upwards.
A twist in the plot in the middle "Hellboy in Hell" begins with panel of family blood spilt on a glacial blue landscape of ice and snow, interrupting by a spectacular entrance from an unexpected direction. This sequence of seven panels begs to be remembered for its splendor and sense of drama, as does the five panels that end "Hellboy in Hell" #3.
Dave Stewart's colors are in sync with the mood that Mignola creates, conveying not only the desolation and tomb-like spaces of Hell, but its grandeur and richness as well. Hell is magnificent, fearsome but not dour, clothed in purple shadows, green-blue light and liquid bright red.
The art dominates "Hellboy in Hell" #3, but Mignola's dialogue comes in short but significant bursts, which are enough to provide more family history and to convey Hellboy's awe and growing confusion. Despite the distressing events and revelations, Hellboy largely remains his usual irreverent and ironic self, composed enough to make a "The Grapes of Wrath" joke. His guy-next-door reactions are a foil to his setting and the elegiac speech of Hell's denizens. Mignola's prose in the text boxes feels ominous and poetic with his use of repetition and foreboding phrases, but he keeps it casual and light for Hellboy's lines. Hellboy is a bright spot of comedy in this sea of somberness when he utters characteristic phrases like "Hey, watch it!" when one of his relatives complains of his human stink.
The art and the tone of "Hellboy in Hell" #3 are grim and beautiful, somber and graceful, with a creepiness from a deep and endless space instead of screams or violence, but Mignola also keeps the humor and offbeat charm of Hellboy himself intact, making for unusual but haunting combination.

This month's stamp is a gorgeous paisley background image by Stampabilities! Tanya & I had alot of fun playing with this one, and we hope you will too! Here's our sample cards!
For this card I stamped tone-on-tone red ink on red Basic Grey paper. The boot is a new QuicKutz shape, punched out of Sugar Coated cardstock. The saying & small paisley stamp used with the sentiment are also by Stampabilities.
I went back to 'basics' with this card and love the look of the gold embossing! I paired it with some gold paisley peel off stickers & sheer ribbons.
This card is my personal fave-- I played with distress ink on this one! I tapped 'peeled paint' & 'broken china' on the stamp then spritzed it with water before stamping. I then spritzed the paper again and set it aside to dry. For the die cut flower I did a versamark resist on glossy paper, and sponged the same colors of distress ink over the stamped image. I used the QK Revolution to cut the flower and leaf out of my custom patterned paper and some Bazzill bling cardstock. The tag is also by QK & the sentiment is by Hero Arts.
Tanya created this beauty-- stamped the paisley multiple times on lime paper and embossed it in white. It looks lovely finished off with a Bling Blossom by Bazzill!
Just a simple ATC- like my red card, it's stamped red on red, I stamped and embossed in gold the sentiment & sm. paisley image, added ric-rac and a flower with a paisley sticker in the center.

Loved the music video. I get my hands on that raw data every chance I get.
I noticed you wearing sunglasses for computer use. I'm using 'computer' glasses - progressives with enlarged intermediate area and "Fitovers" tinted brown at the moment to reduce computer glare, while I wait impatiently to try out my first pair of FL-41 spectacles.
I've just posted a more detailed post about this on http://www.ednf.org and the use of of these lenses.
I've also just noticed you have done a book on Eyes and EDS. Who said there wasn't a God helping us out! Way too many scary coincidences for me to doubt this any more, and I'm a science graduate!

Finland's green industry is a product of its past and its weather. The country's success in cellular and IT has fostered a new generation of startups targeting smart grid communications and green data centers. Biomass, a staple for district heating systems in northern Europe, will increase as an export. Energy efficiency regulations for homes that were first instituted in the '70s have lead to the widespread adoption of heat pumps and other appliances that could start to get more visibility overseas. There's also interest in wind.
The sun shines 19 hours a day in summer, but only 5 in the winter, according to Jukka Nieminen, CEO of module maker Naps Systems. Thus, the solar market is defined by exports. Still, the electronic side of solar is here: a firm known as The Switch, which makes inverters for wind turbines and solar, says its 2010 revenue will increase to 250 million Euros from 96 million last year. (Some companies will also try to lower costs by channeling production to nearby Estonia, the soon-to-be EU member where labor rates are 70 percent lower than in Finland.)
The gallery below is a highlight reel of some of the technologies and companies we recently saw on a visit to the country.

What do we think of first when we hear the word weed?
For the majority of people, the first thought would be of that famous buzz. As most of us know this sought after "high" is all down to marijuana's psychoactive cannabinoid, THC. It is unfortunately also one of the most common misconceptions about the plant. Especially, as there are in fact, so many wonderful things that cannabis brings to the table – one of them being Terpenes.
Often overlooked, Terpenes provide some of the most appreciated attributes to the much-loved plant. In this article we are going to explore, and celebrate the underdog compound of the cannabis plant; Terpenes.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are one of the most recognizable aspects of cannabis, but so few people actually know what they are. We all know and love that distinctive smell that comes from lighting up a joint. Some strains can have us talking for weeks about how delicious and distinctive the flavor was. All of these things are solely down to the Terpenes contained within.
Terpenes are the fragrant oils that can be found in the sticky resin glands of the cannabis plant. They actually originate from the same place as THC, CBD, and other well-known cannabinoids. Without Terpenes, there would be no Sour Diesel, no Blueberry Kush. Nor any other of the well-known delicious strains that have become so popular for their distinctive scent and flavor.
Interestingly, Terpenes are by no means exclusive to the cannabis plant. In fact, they can be found in a whole range of popular foods, and are therefore considered as "safe" for human consumption by the FDA.
What do Terpenes do?
As well as having the ability to deliver a powerful scent and flavor, Terpenes have actually been proven to help medicinally as well! It probably doesn't come to much of a surprise that there could be yet another helpful compound to this ever-giving plant. And Terpenes while being much less researched compared to THC and CBD, have shown promise in the medical world for their ability to deliver therapeutic attributes.
In the same way as CBD, Terpenes work with our body by binding to the brain's receptors. This can give rise to a wide range of positive effects, which can differ depending on the specific Terpene content of the strain.
While there are actually over 200 different Terpenes that can be found in the cannabis plant, there are some that appear more frequently than others. Below are some of the most frequent Terpenes, and how you can identify them!
- Myrcene: This Terpene is most commonly known for its musky, herbal aroma. Myrcene is also brilliant for aiding relaxation and works in perfect harmony with THC to increase those pleasant psychoactive effects. Myrcene can also be found in foods such as mango, citrus fruits, and thyme!
- Linalool: Known for its spicy floral scent, Linalool is responsible for calming and causing sedating effects, which in turn is fantastic for treating insomnia, anxiety, and stress.
- Caryophyllene: Earthy and peppery, this Terpene comes with no specific physical effects, however, is used for its fantastic anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to relieve muscle spasms.
- Pinene: Sweet and piney, this Terpene is brilliant for aiding memory and promotes alertness. Pinene has been known to help in the treatment of asthma and is also an anti-inflammatory.
- Limonene: Fruity and citrusy, Limonene is a well-known mood booster and is therefore brilliant for the treatment of depression and anxiety.
- Humulene: This earthy Terpene is often used to aid weight-loss as it is an appetite suppressant. Humulene is also said to have anti-bacterial properties and the ability to treat pain!
It is also important to note that while Terpenes offer many beneficial properties to us, humans, they also provide a vital role for the cannabis plant itself. Terpenes provide a natural protection for the cannabis plant during its growing process! Helping the plant fight off bacteria, bugs, and other potential environmental stresses!
Which Terpene is Right For You?
If you have done your homework, you know that different Terpenes come with different benefits. So, when choosing a strain of marijuana based on its Terpene content, there are a few things to consider.
Be aware, it is difficult to really know the precise properties of a strain, and Terpene profiles can be incredibly difficult to determine. Depending on how the plant has been grown and then cured, will make a big difference on the level of Terpenes contained in it.
Secondly, be mindful that Terpenes will lose a lot of their medicinal qualities when burnt to a temperature that is too high. So, consider your method of consumption. Going for a reduced heat method is likely to improve your experience!
The Entourage Effect
The Entourage Effect is important to mention when discussing Terpenes, as it encourages us to consider the plant as a whole. We know that THC gets you high. We also know that CBD in conjunction with THC can reduce this high. So, what would happen if we combined even more parts of the cannabis plant?
A study done by Dr. Ethan B Russo showed that when we combine all the natural aspects of the cannabis plant, the positive effects are much stronger than when we isolate a specific cannabinoid. His idea that the helpful cannabinoids are much more effective when combined with the other elements of the plant show a great deal of promise for the future of Terpenes!
Final Thoughts
While so much focus remains to be centered around THC and CBD, there are other important cannabinoids and terpenes that are being overlooked. While research is still lacking in areas, it is clear that the use of terpenes can really enhance the benefits of the plant's cannabinoids.
With time and further research, we hope that terpenes can become more well-known for their incredible abilities to benefit us, and not simply for their specific taste and smell.
The idea that terpenes along with other constituents of the cannabis plant can work harmoniously together is very exciting for the future of the industry!

If you happened to catch Jon Voight in a 1963 episode of the television crime series "Naked City," you may find it surprising that he went on to a successful career for the next 50 years. Yup, it was pretty bad. But today Mr. Voight has a long filmography, an Oscar on the shelf (for "Coming Home") and is still working, most recently in the Showtime series "Ray Donovan."
To some extent, Mr. Voight has a casting director to thank. In "Casting By," a documentary being shown Monday on HBO, he says Marion Dougherty, that casting director, forgave his early overacting and pushed the director John Schlesinger relentlessly to hire him for the role of the aspiring hustler Joe Buck in "Midnight Cowboy" (1969). Mr. Schlesinger gave in, and Mr. Voight went on (along with his co-star, Dustin Hoffman) to an Academy Award nomination.
While Ms. Dougherty, who died in 2011, helped many actors into career-boosting jobs — Al Pacino, James Dean and Robert Redford among them — she was never a household name herself. Casting is, after all, a behind-the-scenes endeavor.
As Ellen Lewis, Martin Scorsese's go-to casting director, put it in an interview: "We want nothing more than for an actor to walk in and do a great job. That is our goal." And in some ways, it's a thankless one. As the documentary details, the casting director's is the only job listed in a film's opening credits that does not have an Oscar category of its own. Even a movement to award Ms. Dougherty an honorary Oscar in 1991, with Clint Eastwood and others writing letters on her behalf, failed when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences denied the request.
On the eve of the HBO premiere, Steven McElroy spoke to a few big names in the casting world about their job, their own career highlights and the Oscar controversy. One piece of advice for actors: Do not bring a friend with you to an audition. How many times do we have to tell you? The person not trying to get the job often gets the job.
HIS OWN CREDITS In a career dating to the 1950s, he helped cast John Travolta as Vinnie Barbarino in "Welcome Back Kotter," and Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin Braddock, conceived as a "a tall handsome, kind of waspy character," in "The Graduate."
A PROUD MOMENT "I'm particularly proud of casting Christopher Reeve in "Superman" (1978), because I had seen him in theater in New York," he said. The director, Richard Donner, was not familiar with Reeve and kept searching as Mr. Stalmaster placed Reeve's head shot on the top of a pile of photos at each casting session, he said. Every day, it ended up back at the bottom until the casting director got his way.
THE OSCAR CONTROVERSY "I totally agreed with all of those great actors and directors and producers that" Ms. Dougherty "should have received a special Oscar," he said.
HER OWN CREDITS "Diner" (1982), "Broadcast News" (1987), "The Bridges of Madison County" (1995), "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (2000) and "The Bourne Legacy" (2012) and many others.
A PROUD MOMENT Paul Reiser never intended to try out for "Diner," Ms. Chenoweth said. She was auditioning comedians, and her assistant called the New York comedy club the Improv looking for suggestions. "They kind of misunderstood and sent some very preppy guys." Frustrated, she saw Mr. Reiser in the waiting area and thought he looked right for the part. "Paul was, like: 'No, I don't have an audition. It's my friend. We're just going shopping.' He protested, but we dragged him in."
THE OSCAR CONTROVERSY "I can't say that I understand the strong feelings about it, against it. I don't understand why people are so dug in about it, but it's hard to change these things. We've been academy members for, like, 30 years now, and we're still called members at large. It's a little sad."
[After Ms. Chenoweth was interviewed, the Academy announced the creation of a new casting directors branch, elevating casting directors to full membership with three seats on the board of governors.]
HIS OWN CREDITS Helping cast the movies "Boys Don't Cry" (1999), "American Psycho" (2000) and the TV series "Sex and the City." With his business partner, Paul Schnee, Mr. Barden has worked on "Winter's Bone" (2010) and "The Help" (2011), among others.
A PROUD MOMENT Pushing hard for Jessica Chastain to be cast in "The Help." "When Jessica Chastain came in, she blew us all away," he said. "She had us in tears, and she had us howling with laughter." He later added, "We really fought hard for her to get that, because there were other choices that were at the moment a little more famous."
THE OSCAR CONTROVERSY "I feel like in the best of circumstances we are a very integral part of the filmmaking process," Mr. Barden said. "There's an argument that 'Well, they don't make the final decision,' but it's the same thing with a production designer. They bring choices to the director, and the director says, 'I like that table,' 'I like that fabric.' But the production designer didn't weave the rug or build the table. So it's one of those things where, to me, the argument is not very strong."
HER OWN CREDITS More than 40 Woody Allen films, beginning as part of the team on "Love and Death" (1975). "I always thought it was because he was too afraid to meet anybody new," Ms. Taylor said in a telephone interview. "He just figured he felt safer with someone he knew, even if she was only 25 years old." Among her non-Woody Allen credits are "Taxi Driver" (1976) and "Sleepless in Seattle" (1993).
A PROUD MOMENT "There are casting directors or people who expect casting directors to say: Oh, I discovered this person," Ms. Taylor said, explaining that she was resistant to that concept. But she did cast Meryl Streep in her first feature, "Julia" (1977), even if Ms. Taylor didn't quite discover her. The director, "Fred Zinnemann, was living in London at the time, and he didn't know who she was, so that was a good push," she said. "I was just the lucky person to be able to find the right thing for her to do in her first movie. In the New York theater, everybody here knew that she was fantastic."
THE OSCAR CONTROVERSY Ms. Taylor said an Oscar category would be great and is especially disappointed that Ms. Dougherty was denied an honorary award. "It was just stubbornness on the part of the Academy that they were afraid if they opened the door a little, they would be in a fix and would have to do more for the casting community," she said.
