The Louisiana State Racing Commission has concluded that no further action is needed in the case involving the former grade I winner Monzante who broke down and was euthanized following a race at Evangeline Downs July 20.
"The commission is satisfied that everything was done regulatory-wise to ensure the horse was sound to race, and the sense of the commission is there is no further action that needs to be taken," LSRC executive director Charles Gardiner said July 25.
Owned and trained by Jackie W. Thacker, Monzante chased the early pace in the one-mile-and-70-yard race for $4,000 claimers before stopping, according to the Equibase chart. Thacker said Monzante suffered an injury to his right front sesamoids, the small bones located at the back of the fetlock.
After being stabilized on the track by a state veterinarian, Monzante was returned to Thacker's barn where the 9-year-old gelding was euthanized. A son of Maria's Mon bred in Kentucky by Juddmonte Farms, Monzante won eight of 43 starts and earned $583,929.
Gardiner reiterated his previous statements that commission veterinarians had thoroughly scrutinized Monzante's fitness for racing, and the commission is satisfied that all steps that can be taken by regulators to reduce the risk of catastrophic incidents were taken. (See related story)
"Our veterinarians in the field took a very hard and thorough look at this horse and deemed that he was sound to race. That is about the best the regulators can do," Gardiner said. "It is a fine line between a trainers' decision where to run a horse, and it is our job to do the best we can to ensure the safety of the horses and riders. That was done in this case.
"Every horse that is not sound to race is put on a vets' list, and we have a long and tedious process in which to work off the vets' list. We believe that everything was done to ensure the safety of the horse and rider. It was an unfortunate situation. The trainer made the decision to euthanize the horse, and how do you take that right away from the trainer?"
The death of Monzante, winner of the grade I Eddie Read Handicap in 2008, after racing in a low-level claiming race created a backlash on social media, including an online petition calling for the National Thoroughbred Racing Association to look into the horse's breakdown and decision to euthanize him.
Many of those commenting on Monzante's death via social media have questioned how a horse that won a grade I race could end up being euthanized after competing for a $4,000 tag. Some have taken to task those individuals who raced and trained the gelding, questioning why steps were not taken to remove Monzante from competition earlier.
Gardiner said those who have been critical of a lack of action on removing Monzante from racing earlier could have taken that initiative.
"It is a very unfortunate situation, and there were several opportunities to intervene sooner," Gardiner said, noting that Monzante had run in numerous races from which he could have been claimed.
Thacker said July 24 the decision to euthanize Monzante was made to relieve the gelding's suffering and after a thorough analysis of the extent of the injuries.
"You could tell he was in a lot of pain," Thacker said of Monzante, who he claimed for $10,000 in May 2012 at Evangeline from previous owner Christine Hardy. (See related story)

From the Cottage Street sidewalk outside, Popcorn Noir is an unassuming little place. The large plate glass windows are curtained off, and the paint is peeling on the wood above them, where, until recently, a sign for the Iglesia de Dios hung. But a glance at the logo on the front door—a stylized film reel mixed with other elements—gives away the game. Popcorn Noir is Easthampton's latest movie theater.
Eschewing first-run films to show classics, foreign and cult films and children's movies, the new kid on the block isn't meant to be a threat to the multiplex. As conceived by husband and wife team Thomas Doherty and Kristen Davis, the theater is meant far more as a community gathering place than a money-making machine. Indeed, one of the most surprising things about the venture—which will be open by the time this goes to press, and screening some 15 to 20 shows a week—is the admission price: free.
By keeping the admission gratis, the pair have been able to work with film distributors to come up with reasonable rental fees, although with some peculiar stipulations (more on that in a moment). To help cover costs, they plan to sell a wide range of concessions both traditional and modern; the eponymous "Popcorn Noir" is an updated take on the perennial made with Mexican chocolate, chilis, and cinnamon. (It helps that Davis is a chef talented enough to have appeared on the Food Network.)
Also on tap: a variety of craft beers and artisanal wines, as well as a family-friendly selection of healthy snacks and vegan fare. And to top it off, moviegoers will have the rare pleasure of table service during the films—no more missing scenes just to grab a refill.
As mentioned above, the unusual rental deal comes with an unusual string attached: the theater isn't permitted to advertise the films it shows. To get around that obstacle, screenings are organized by theme, so that parents know that a 3 p.m. show will always be kid-friendly, while a 7 p.m. screening is for a more mature crowd. For the real inside line, patrons can spend 10 bucks to become a member and get the week's titles delivered in an email. Pony up a bit more to become a VIP member and you can reserve seats—a huge bonus for a theater that maxes out at 20 people per screening.
That may seem like a tight squeeze, but when I visited, the feeling was more akin to hanging out in your living room with some good friends. Even the seats at Popcorn Noir—amply cushioned armchairs—seem plucked from a cozy den. And as Davis pointed out, the limited seating will allow the theater to offer more niche fare than a larger house might be able to support, and also offer an attractive option for local artists of all sorts—Doherty mentioned bringing in DJs and multimedia artists as well as filmmakers—who might be looking for a place to host a private screening. All in all, it's an audacious and remarkably community-minded venture, and one that could do a great deal for nightlife in Easthampton.
For now, though, the couple is simply looking forward to opening the doors. If you'd like to learn more or become a member, they can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or via the Popcorn Noir page on Facebook.
Also this week: Music meets movies at Amherst Cinema and Pleasant Street Theater with a pair of documentary screenings. At Amherst, The Joy of Sax film series continues on Monday with A Great Day in Harlem, Jean Bach's Academy Award-nominated look at the most famous photo in jazz, featuring interviews with many musicians present on that day in 1958. And on Tuesday at PST, Rejoice and Shout tracks the footsteps of gospel music back through the story of African-American history, charting parallel paths as the music reflects the culture of the day.

Find Bargains on Books and More at Friends of the Library Book Sale April 23-28
Make room on your bookshelves and the stacks by your bed, everybody – the Friends of the Library giant Spring Book Sale starts Tuesday at Remington's, 1655 W. Republic Road.
You'll be able to get books by the bushel for a fraction of retail. You can also load up on CDs, DVDs, audiobooks, vinyl records, puzzles and board games at bargain prices in the week-long event. They've reloaded the 3.5 trailers that filled the big fall sale, so there's plenty to go around.
The sale runs 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, and 1-5 p.m. Sunday, April 28. Admission is free.
The much-anticipated sneak preview known as the Friends Night Preview Sale is 5-8 p.m. Monday. Friends members with current dues get in free. That night only: If you're not a Friends member, you can pay the $5 membership at the door and join the Friends anytime that night.
This is the perfect chance for young parents to start or grow their children's home library; for home-schoolers to build their materials; for collectors to find treasures; for tutors and student teachers and beach-book shoppers to scoop up bargains.
Children's books are 50 cents or less; adult and young adult books and most audiovisual items are $1 or less; and better books for children through adult are $2 and up. The Friends accept cash or checks only.
The Friends go into this sale with a long history of successes. The very first sale in 1985 on the parking lot of the Midtown Carnegie Branch Library (then called Main Library) saw $2,500 in sales. The event has moved several times since then, but sales jumped from $23,548 in the fall 2006 to $96,391 in spring 2007 when it moved to its current home at the spacious Remington's.
Then last year the 400 Friends sale volunteers celebrated two record-breaking sales of $121,522 and $125,779, and boosted membership to 1,370.
The community benefits in so many ways from the Friends' dedication. Sale proceeds supplement the property tax funding and grants that keep the district humming. Among other things, last year the Friends funded more than $180,000 in grants to the library district, and pledged $300,000 for the Brentwood Branch renovation project.
We invite you to join the bargain hunting. Doors open to the public at 10 a.m. Tuesday.

RENO, NV - At Washoe County Vector Control, recently-captured mosquitoes are sorted by species and gender.
Not all mosquitoes carry West Nile Virus, this process allows them to locate those that do, and their ratio to other mosquitoes.
"The samples that we have had tested at the animal disease lab, the state AG lab so far they are all negative for viruses including the West Nile Virus," says Jim Schafer, Vector Control Program Coordinator.
The wet weather, followed by near record hot temperatures later in the week here are a recipe for increasing our odds of a positive West Nile Mosquito pool.
Schafer says because of budget cuts to mosquito abatement programs, they are asking for residents to take an even more active role in eradicating breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
That means taking a look in your backyard, is there a bucket, a wheel barrel, an old tire in or around your house?
Look to see if its collecting water, and turn it upside down to drain.
If you have a pond in your backyard, vector control can help you stock it with mosquito-eating fish.
In the weeks to come if you notice mosquito swarms getting worse in your neighborhood, contact vector control.
They may have to treat catch basins in the area which are known to harbor mosquitoes and their eggs.

It's about time for a bathroom update. Our bathroom-from-scratch doesn't feel like it's moving along quickly, but I have to remind myself that it's well underway and in a state of in-progress projects (like the most recent day of tiling!).
Here's a little in-progress update and a tiling overview of the new shower nook. I love the color of the tile! so zen:
The newly framed out guest bath looked like this just a few weeks ago:
Then the tar paper (a barrier for moisture intrusion) was stapled into place:
A final layer of drywall was added (I wish I had a better picture) before the shower walls were ready.
We chose Elida Ceramica recycled glass tile in Moonlight for a variety of reasons – it's beautiful! and we love to encourage and support sustainable home remodeling (did you know that despite recycling, more than 70% of our glass ends up in landfills?). It looks unassuming on the shelf, but up in our bath it's stunning and we're really happy with it.
As for cost? As you can see below the going rate for our choice is $4.44 (on sale from $4.98) for a 12×12 sheet of tile. This notably is on the cheap end of tile, let along recycled tile! Your average glass tile sheet per square foot will run you about $15 and I've noticed that recycled and regular is pretty comparable on that front. We love the look and feel of the tile and in our opinion quality definitely wasn't compromised for such a fantastic price. Enough tile for our shower nook would average $180 + tax for the Elida Ceramica recycled glass tile in Moonlight (Lowe's actually offers four different color choices in this price range), to tile it at the average cost of glass tile could easily cost you $600 plus.
Recycled glass is formed by melting down industrial and everyday glass waste in boilers that are heated to over 2000 degrees. The molten glass is then formed into various sizes and styles of tile for the bathroom, kitchen, outoors, etc. Some of the benefits of recycled glass include: it's incredibly durable (most often scratch, stain and heat resistant), it uses less fossil fuels (reshaping glass takes less time and energy than making glass from scratch), it's easy to clean, it's resistant to chemicals and stains, it does'nt allow certain types of bacteria to grow, it reflects light and brightens up areas, it creates a use for the overabundance of post-industrial glass, and finally it helps to reduce waste in landfills.
Tiling Glass 1×1 Tiles
Materials: glass tile, thinset mortar, tiling trowel, bucket for mixing thinset, several sponges, non sanded grout (double check your tile instructions – usually located on the back of the tile sheet), bucket for mixing grout, dry soft cloth
A few points to keep in mind when tiling with small glass tiles:
- While dry setting (or laying out your tile pattern before adding thinset) is not easy to do when you're applying the tile to the wall, it's a good idea to layout your design on paper and to measure to make sure you take into account any necessary tile cuts.
- Cuts can be made with a tile saw or glass snippers (if the tiles are tiny).
- Mix your thinset to the consistency of creamy mashed potatoes – let sit 8ish minutes and then mix once more before using. A cage-type or paddle-type mixer attached to your drill in a 5 gallon bucket is the best way to achieve this.
- Use the straight side of a tiling trowel to first 'skim coat' a section of wall with thinset, then use the grated side to spread the thinset out (this order is important).
- If your tile comes on sheets of mesh and with a sticky back side (like ours), peel off the paper and apply directly to thinset. If your tile does not have a sticky back side, 'butter' the back of the tile sheet with a swipe of thinset and then apply to the wall.
- Be careful to not overbuild your thinset on the wall, this can cause a wavy, uneven final product (plus it increases the possibility that the thinset might shrink when it dries).
- Carefully press the glass tile into the wall.
- Repeat and repeat a few times more until your wall is complete.
- Grout should be mixed to the consistency of a milkshake. Apply a glop to the top of the dry tile and spread with a sponge. Press into all spaces and don't worry about getting the tile dirty!
- Lightly wash the tile with a wet sponge removing larger chunks and streaks of grout.
- Wait 48 hours and wipe the glass tile down again with a soft cloth, removing all excess grout.
- Seal the tile
We haven't reached the grouting/sealing portion of the project yet but the overall installation process has been great. Usually small 1×1″ tiles are tricky to work with, but the mesh backing and thinner tiles (thinner than ceramic) have made it really easy.
Now onto the floors – the new bath is coming along!
More building a bath from scratch posts: rub-a-dub-dub choosing and installing a tub, demo time, initial inspiration and where it all started – a Lowe's collaboration.

The Effects of Noise Volume on Performance of a Cognitive Task
Leslie Watson, Midwestern State University
ABSTRACT: The effects of
3 volume levels of continuous white noise on a cognitive task were investigated
in a single-factor, multilevel design. Fifty-four undergraduates individually
completed a math quiz containing 20 sixth-grade-level arithmetic problems while
being exposed to no noise, medium-volume noise, or high-volume noise. No
significant differences were noted in the time it took each noise group to
complete the math problems. However, the medium-noise group made almost twice
as many errors as the no-noise group and more errors than the high-noise group.
Increases in noise volume did not cause respective increases in completion
times or in number of errors made on the task as expected. There were no
significant sex differences in performance.
The Influence of Duration of Eye Contact on Evaluation of a
Potential Employee
Laura P. Napieralski, Nicole L. Glassberg, and Charles I.
Brooks, King's College
ABSTRACT: Male and
female college students were randomly assigned to 1 of 6 groups and viewed a
60-s videotape. The content of the tape was derived from the factorial
combination of sex of model in the tape and duration of eye contact (5 s, 30 s,
or 50 s) maintained by the model with an interviewer. Participants viewed the
tape, indicated whether or not they would hire the model, and answered other
questions evaluating expected quality of job performance. The results showed as
models' duration of eye contact increased, participants indicated they would be
more likely to hire the model; their expectations of the models' quality of
performance also increased with increased maintenance of eye contact. These
results were the same for both the male and female models and male and female
Conflicting Self-Tendencies: The Role of Self-Esteem and
Self-Monitoring in Lying to Others
Ted Elam, Randall E. Osborne, and Joseph Norman, Indiana
University East
ABSTRACT: The effects of
conflicting self-tendencies and reporting of self-related feedback were
examined. One hundred forty-four participants were given a self-monitoring
scale, a self-esteem measure, and a "perceptions scale." One hundred
nineteen participants (30 scoring low on both self measures, 31 scoring high on
both self measures, and 58 scoring high on one scale but low on the other) were
selected to participate in a follow-up study. During the follow-up,
participants were given random bogus feedback (told they scored either an 84 or
76) from the "perceptions" test. Each participant waited with
presumably another participant (actually a confederate) who inquired about the
participant's performance. As predicted, participants scoring high or low on
both of the self measures were significantly more likely to misreport their feedback
score than those scoring high on one but low on the other. Discussion centers
on the effect that such conflicting self-tendencies have on information
processing and on behavioral choices.
The Relationship Between Academic Major and Perception of
Psychology as a Science
Dana P. Jens and Myra D. Heinrich, Mesa State College
ABSTRACT: Friedrich
(1996) designed the Psychology as Science (PAS) Scale to assess perception of
psychology. This study is a modified replication of Friedrich's (1996)
research. Using the PAS Scale, differences in perception of psychology as a
science among upper division psychology, counseling psychology, and biology
majors were investigated. Results indicated psychology majors perceived
psychology as being more scientific than did biology majors; however, no
significant differences were found between other majors. The relationship of
academic major (psychology, counseling psychology) and number of laboratory
courses taken to PAS score was also investigated. Results indicated psychology
majors perceived psychology more as a science than did counseling psychology
majors. The main effect of laboratory course experience and the interaction
were not significant. Although the study provided partial support for
Friedrich's (1996) findings, the impact of laboratory experience needs further
Developmental Trends in Object Recognition From Preschool to
Adolescence: A Preliminary Investigation
Jody Guyette, George Fox University
This experiment attempts to determine developmental trends in object
recognition. Two object identification questionnaires were administered to 26
children between the ages of 4 and 10. One questionnaire included pictures
fragmented arbitrarily, whereas the other included pictures fragmented
according to recognition-by-components (RBC) theory (Biederman, 1987). Factors
related to performance on the questionnaires were measured using the Test of
Nonverbal Intelligence (Brown, Sherbenou, & Johnson, 1990) and the
Figure-Ground, Form Constancy, Closure, and Spatial Relations subtests of the
Developmental Test of Visual Perception (DTVP; Hammill, Pearson, & Voress,
1993). There was a significant increase in the number of correctly identified
objects with age for the arbitrarily fragmented objects, but not for the RBC
objects. This findings suggests that the RBC objects contained sufficient
information for identification across ages. In addition, different factors
appear to influence recognition between the two types of objects. Arbitrarily
fragmented objects are related to visual closure ability whereas RBC objects
are related to the total of the four DTVP-2 subtests. These findings suggest that
recognizing arbitrarily fragmented objects may be influenced by a specific
perceptual ability but the RBC objects may be influenced by a number of related
Self-Concept in Arabs and Arab Americans
Dalia R. Soliman and Francis T. McAndrew, Knox College
ABSTRACT: A group of
Arab American students from traditional families scored significantly higher
than a group of Arab students in Egypt on 7 of 10 subscales of the Tennessee
Self-Concept Scale (TSCS:2; Fitts & Warren, 1996), reflecting overall
higher self-esteem, self-confidence, and satisfaction with one's physical,
moral, and academic self. The results are consistent with theories associating
biculturalism with an enhanced self-concept and sense of well-being.
The Effects of Bags and Apparel on Retailer's Response Time
Lisa Carlson, Ashley Dalton, Brittanie Glass, Marjorye Robinson,
Michele Stackhouse, and Jennifer Bassman, Southern Methodist University
ABSTRACT: This
experiment tested the presence of shopping bags and apparel on clothing store
clerks' response times. The time it took for the sales clerk to approach and
offer services to the experimenter was timed and recorded after leaving the
store. The results showed that sales clerks offered assistance more quickly
when the experimenters carried four bags versus no bags and when they were
dressed in business versus casual attire. These results imply that customers
will receive quicker service from sales clerks if they are nicely dressed or
are carrying bags.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
The suspect in yesterday's shooting in Fannett has been identified as 35-year-old Matthew Earl Smith of Hamshire. Smith was charged with murder and is being held on a $1 million bond in relation to the death of 51-year-old Cole Dupuy of Fannett, according to a news release from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies are investigating a shooting in Fannett that left one man dead.
According to a news release from JCSO, the office received a call at approximately 1:10 p.m. on Wednesday, June 5, regarding a shooting in the 15000 block of Boondocks Rd. The caller told police a pedestrian flagged him down and told the caller he had been involved in a shooting. The actor remained with the caller until deputies arrived.

The Charlotte Bobcats and shooting guard Gerald Henderson have agreed in principle to a three-year, $18 million contract extension, a knowledgeable source confirmed Friday night.
The deal, first reported by Yahoo Sports, will give shooting guard Henderson the option to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2014-15 season.
A restricted free agent, Henderson was second on the Bobcats in scoring last season at 15.5 points per game. He finished strong, averaging 23.9 points over the last 23 games, on 48 percent shooting from the field and 86 percent from the foul line.
Henderson accepted less money in return for the player option after the second season of the deal.
Henderson and point guard Kemba Walker acted as co-captains last season. The Bobcats drafted Henderson 12th overall in 2009 out of Duke. After four seasons, he's the Bobcats' longest-tenured player on a roster that has experienced considerable turnover the past three years.
With Henderson returning, it appears the Bobcats have completed their major off-season transactions. Earlier in the free-agency period the Bobcats committed $41 million over the next three seasons on center Al Jefferson, a low-post scorer who last played for the Utah Jazz.
Before signing Jefferson, the Bobcats drafted Indiana forward Cody Zeller fourth overall. Zeller excelled this month in Las Vegas, being named to that summer league's all-tournament team. So was shooting guard/small forward Jeff Taylor.
Henderson's return projects a starting lineup for next season of him and Walker at the guard spots, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Zeller at forward and Jefferson at center. Bismack Biyombo, Taylor and Ben Gordon figure to the top three players off the bench in the 2013-14 season.

Feb. 21, 2013 USA Today
More than 900 people died in mass shootings during the past seven years, and a majority of them were killed by people they knew, according to a USA TODAY analysis of gun-related slayings.
The 934 deaths account for less than 1% of all gun-related homicides, and nearly half involve a suspect slaying his or her family members, the detailed examination shows. USA TODAY combed through FBI records and news accounts to identify 146 mass shootings since 2006 that matched the FBI definition of mass shooting, where four or more people were killed.
A separate analysis of 56 mass shootings since 2009 provided to USA TODAY by a group of mayors promoting gun control reaches similar conclusions. More than half – 57% – of cases examined by Mayors Against Illegal Guns involved domestic violence. The group, co-founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is made up of more than 850 U.S. mayors.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- When the Patriots began the majority of their preparations for yesterday's game against the Bills, coach Bill Belichick wasn't happy.
It was Wednesday, the players were returning after their weekend off, and the practice performance wasn't up to his standards. What resulted was a marathon Thursday practice, and some harsh words from Belichick.
"What I remember is Bill yelling and screaming at us, saying we can't have another crappy Wednesday the way we had it," recalled safety Rodney Harrison. "We had almost two practices in one the next day. That's what you have to have when there's a lack of focus and concentration."
The team turned it around in that Thursday practice, then carried the effort into yesterday's 28-6 victory over the Bills at rain-soaked Ralph Wilson Stadium. The Patriots scored on the opening drive, took a 14-3 lead at the end of the first quarter, and strung together big plays on offense, defense, and special teams in an effort that highlighted how they are in a different class than the overmatched, bungling Bills.
Offensively, the Patriots finally hit on a long-awaited big passing play, a 35-yard touchdown strike from quarterback Tom Brady to rookie receiver Chad Jackson in the third quarter. The unit also converted eight of 15 third-down opportunities.
Meanwhile, New England's defense totaled three turnovers - a strip sack by linebacker Mike Vrabel, an interception by cornerback Asante Samuel, and a fumble recovery by linebacker Tedy Bruschi when the ball slipped out of quarterback J.P. Losman's grasp.
And on special teams, rookie Laurence Maroney dazzled with a 74-yard kickoff return in the first quarter.
All told, it didn't look like a team that sputtered through a practice earlier in the week.
"Looking back, we didn't play Patriots football on Wednesday," said safety Artrell Hawkins. "Coming off the long bye week, I guess it took an extra day to start the engines. But Thursday we came back and corrected the stuff that wasn't so good and we ended up having a longer practice. But it paid off."
In convincing fashion.
The barrage started early, with the Patriots winning the coin toss and scoring a touchdown on their opening drive for the first time this season. That had been a point of emphasis throughout the week, as Buffalo hadn't allowed a touchdown on an opening drive, but the Bills were sliced up on a 14-play, 71-yard march that culminated in running back Corey Dillon's 8-yard run.
Buffalo responded with a 58-yard drive that advanced to the Patriots' 13-yard line, the key play a short pass from Losman to running back Willis McGahee that McGahee raced 56 yards. But the Patriots' defense stiffened, with some help from Losman, who fumbled a third-down snap that he was fortunate to pounce on. The Bills settled for a field goal, making it 7-3.
Maroney then ripped off the dynamic 74-yard kickoff return and what ensued was a snapshot of the difference between the Patriots and Bills.
Facing third and 10 from the Bills' 12, Brady scrambled to his right, looking for an open receiver before dropping to the ground to give himself up. But defensive end Chris Kelsay raced in and popped Brady, drawing an unnecessary roughness penalty and giving the Patriots a first down. Dillon scored on the next play, racing around the left side from 12 yards out.
"The roughing the passer was an unbelievable situation," said Bills coach Dick Jauron. "It's hard to figure out how that can occur when a guy sits down and we have them third and long. Those are foolish things we have to stop doing and they're on my shoulders."
The Patriots survived a rough patch in the second quarter when their pass protection broke down at times, but the defense bailed them out after the Bills twice drove into New England territory. Vrabel's strip sack, which was recovered by Vince Wilfork, came after the Bills advanced to the Patriots' 41, and then Samuel's interception came after penetration to the 23.
The Patriots blew the game open in the second half, with Brady (18 of 27, 195 yards, 2 TDs) connecting with Jackson for the 35-yard score in the right-hand corner of the end zone with 2:42 left in the third. That made it 21-3, and had the Patriots on their way to their 12th victory over the Bills in the teams' last 13 meetings.
The Bills added a 46-yard Rian Lindell field goal early in the fourth quarter, cutting the edge to 21-6, but the Patriots answered with an eight-play, 67-yard drive that ended with Brady finding Doug Gabriel for a 5-yard touchdown pass. It marked the Patriots' third trip inside the red zone, and their third touchdown.
The Patriots (5-1) remain in command of the AFC East, with the Jets (4-3), Bills (2-5), and Dolphins (1-6) trailing. The team is 4-0 in divisional play, and players were glad to put their shoddy Wednesday practice behind them.
"Everyone responded well," Hawkins said. "No one wants to work extra hours, but it's work that has to get done. You really saw guys competing to make others better, offensively and defensively and on special teams."

Skip to comments.RIP Warrior Princess: Oriana Fallaci
Posted on 09/15/2006 8:20:40 PM PDT by Bokababe
Oriana Falacci was not a favorite with the PC crowd. She made no bones about her loathing of what she called Eurabia. This was no latter-day Crusader readying for the onslaught of the Islamic invader. As she saw it, the incursion had already taken place, and post-Christian Europe was the worse for it.
When she died last week she bequeathed to the world a series of books, some luminous, some overwrought, but all written with an ardent mind and heart.
Falaccis last volume, The Force of Reason, uses a litany of radical Islams recent crimesanti-Semitic and anti-Christian screeds, beheadings, explosions, murders, mutilationsand reinforces her critique with the most unbearable weapon of all: sarcasm.
Always clever, the Muslims. Always at the top. Always ingenious. In philosophy, in mathematics, in gastronomy, in literature, in architecture, in medicine, in music, in law, in hydraulics, in cooking. Always stupid, we westerners. Always inadequate, always inferior. Therefore obliged to thank some son of Allah who preceded us.
Small wonder that the howls of her quarry can still be heard in Continental courts, where she was forever being sued for xenophobia and bias for observations like this:
If you are a Westerner, and you say your civilization is superior, the most developed that this planet has ever seen, you go to the stake. But if you are a son of Allah or one of their collaborationists and you say that Islam has always been a superior civilization, a ray of light nobody touches you. Nobody sues you. Nobody condemns you.
To further her argument, she dug out some aphorisms and advisories from the Ayatollah Khomeni that would make a cow cringe: A man who has had sexual relations with an animal, such as a sheep, may not eat its meat. He would commit sin.
If a man marries a minor who has reached the age of nine and if during the defloration he immediately breaks the hymen, he cannot enjoy her any longer.
In the main, however, her withering remarks were not only aimed at the enemy but at her friends, her colleagues, her associates. She saw Christians and Jews, and atheists like herself, out-populated, sated, world-weary, ripe targets for a cultural defeat. All this because of a decline in common sense, in the intelligence that was once a fact of life in the West.
Refusing to admit that all Islam is a pond inside which we are all drowning, in fact, is against Reason. Not defending our territory, our homes, our children, our dignity, our essence, is against Reason Accepting the silly or cynical lies which are dispensed to us like arsenic inside the soup is against Reason.
She had sounded taps over the Europe of her childhood, but to the end she believed in the United States, to which she had transplanted herself. Recalling the courage of the American bounceback after 9/11, the indefatigable Oriana discarded her perennial pessimism to declare in her final pages: I set aside the anger I feel for the half-witted who want to remove the Christmas Tree from the Rockefeller Center. I set aside the contempt I feel for the multimillionaire third-worlder Hollywood stars, the bastards dressed up as University professors, the wretches who support pro-Islamic obscenities of Pro-Islamic UN. I set aside the disappointments that America has inflicted and inflicts upon me and upon Americans who fight like me, and I savored the salt of hope. The same hope I feel when I look at the photos transmitted by the probes seeking life on Mars, while looking at them I think: we cannot lose.
R.I.P. Orina Fallaci, writer, prophet, warrior princess. We shall not like upon her look again.
Very good post, Victoria. I think you've got a little bit of her in you.
If you want a good laugh shop her ideas on the subject to the President and the leaders of Congress and see how they run. Our leaders are just as transnational as Europe's and wouldn't hesitate to put someone like her in jail at the behest of Arabia if they could get away with it.
Oh, gosh, I'm flattered - thanks AC, but she was one of a kind. God bless her soul.
If you like, I could send you the video.
Well actually, it's a donkey, not a sheep.
LOL! Call me naive. I thought this was a myth.
Many years ago, in the Khwarism kingdom, the empire centered around the cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Gurgange in the territory now called Uzbekistan, there was a bridge across a narrow section of the Syr Daria river and this bridge was guarded by a troll, named Ali Mohammed Qa-eelbasi. This was before the padishah Mohammed of the Khwarism empire burned the beards off of four of the infidel dog Chengis Khan's ambassadors and Chengis Khan reduced that entire territory to a smoking ruin (may he who cannot take a joke endure Allah's curse).
Now, this Ali Mohammed Qa-eelbasi was quite wealthy by inheritance and by dint of clever investment strategies and stock trading and, having no need of money or wealth beyond his possessions, and being an islamic troll, rather than demanding money from travellers seeking to cross his bridge, was in the habit of demanding various other favors from them.
One morning while Ali Mohammed was guarding his bridge and attempting to catch fish in the Syr Daria, he heard the light clatter of little hooves on the wooden planks of his bridge and looked up to see a little billygoat traipsing across the bridge, trippity, clippity, clippity, trippity, and this little goat (Allah be praised!!) had glossy white fur and flowers in his mane, and was wearing a silk petticoat with what appeared to be lace panties underneath, Ali Mohammed could not be quite certain, and a little training bra from Bloomingdales', and had a coy smile upon his face.
"ALLAH BE PRAISED"!! shouted Ali Mohammed! Surely the faithful shall prosper, this must be my lucky day!!!!
And, the little goat looked at Ali Mohammed, the coy smile still on his lips, and said:
"Verily, I should be happy for you to have your way with me and ravish me to your heart's content but, were you to do that, you would then be too exhausted to appreciate my brother when he passes this way. He is only a short distance behind me and he is a larger, finer and more lovely goat than I; he buys ALL of his clothing from Victoria's Secret."
Now, when Ali Mohammed heard this, he was overcome with passion and desire, and could scarcely restrain himself; nonetheless, he replied: "Go then, with Allah's blessing", and allowed the little goat to cross the bridge unmolested. "I shall (eagerly) await your brother!"
Ali Mohammed went back to his efforts to catch fish and, about a half hour later, he heard a somewhat heavier fall of hooves across the wooden planks of his bridge: clippity cloppity clop, clippity cloppity clop, and Ali Mohammed looked up to a sight which aroused within him a veritable paroxism of passion. This was a larger goat with a gossamer veil over his face, red roses braided into his glossy white silky fur all around, a golden necklace and the thinnest sort of a purple gossamer bodice of finest khitan silk, and dark, brown bedroom eyes.
"ALLAH BE PRAISED!!!" shouted Ali Mohammed, "Verily, this must be the luckiest day of my life, for surely no troll has ever beheld so lovely, and desirable, and alluring a goat as thee!"
"Patience!" replied the goat. "Surely you might have me if you wish, but then you would be too exhausted to appreciate my eldest brother, who travels only a short distance behind me. He is the sexiest and most voluptuous and alluring goat in all the world, and he buys ALL of his clothing at Sexy Sadies Midnight Boutique. Verily, were he standing here beside me, you would not notice me at all!"
Ali Mohammed somehow or other managed to restrain his lust and passion and allowed this goat to pass as well and, after ten or twelve minutes when he collected his wits and got his pulse and breath back under control, returned to his fishing poles.
Now when the eldest brother amongst the three goats came up to the bridge over the Syr Daria river and walked upon its wooden planks, Ali Mohammed did not notice at first, because this goat's hooves, for some reason, made no noise. Ali Mohammed was in fact taken by complete surprise as this third goat walked up to within five feet before the troll ever saw him at all. This goat had a silken veil as did the second goat, and gossamer clothing but, underneath the gossamer, appeared to be a very strange goat indeed, yellowish with black stripes, a long tail, fearsome claws, and huge, very non-goatlike teeth. This third goat spoke these words:
Bless, O Lord, this food to my use and me to thy service, and make me ever mindful of the needs of others through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.and, with that, seized the unlucky troll in his mighty jaws, chewed him into bitesized pieces, and wolfed him down.
In East Timor one of the UN's dirty little scandals was that some of their noble peacekeepers liked raping the local women, but of course a couple of Muslim peacekeepers were caught "raping" a goat. It's no myth folks. Apparently it's a personal preference - read into it whatever you like.
Well, so are you, too. ;-D
Weird. I recalled Three Billy Goats Gruff the other day thinking about another incident involving Islam.
Or in the American West. Witness "Brokeback Mountain.". But they didn't show them practicing on the ewes.
She had to put on a chador to get an interview with Ayatollah Khomenei. Once in his presence, she tore it off, and he stormed out. This story was in her obituary in Britain's Guardian which was rather nasty, accusing her of "Islamophobia."
A man who has had sexual relations with an animal, such as a sheep, may not eat its meat. He would commit sin.
--Ayatollah Khomeni
She's already been pinged.
P.R.O.P.* Ping!
Requiescat In Pacem, Orianna Falacci
Brave voice against the Phony Religion Of Peace!
We shall not like upon her look again.
Is that a Spoonerism?
A Sermon for the West
By Oriana Fallaci
The American Enterprise Online | January 10, 2003
On October 22, 2002, Oriana Fallaci addressed an audience at the American Enterprise Institute. Following are short excerpts from her talk. Ms. Fallaci, a native of Florence, Italy and a life-long journalist, caused turmoil across Europe with the publication of her book The Rage and the Pride, calling the West to stand up to the Islamic world.
I dont hide. I never have. I stay at home because I like to stay at home, and at home I work. I have not appeared in public for at least ten years. No interviews, no TV.
Why am I here, then? Because, since September 11, we are at war. Because the front line of that war is here, in America. Because when I was a war correspondent, I liked to be on the front line. And this time, in this war, I do not feel as a war correspondent. I feel as a soldier. The duty of a soldier is to fight. And to fight this war, I deploy a personal weapon. It is not a gun. Its a small book, The Rage and The Pride.
My soldier weapon is the weapon of truth. The truth that begins with the truth I maintain in these pages:
From Afghanistan to Sudan, from Palestine to Pakistan, from Malaysia to Iran, from Egypt to Iraq, from Algeria to Senegal, from Syria to Kenya, from Libya to Chad, from Lebanon to Morocco, from Indonesia to Yemen, from Saudi Arabia to Somalia, the hate for the West swells like a fire fed by the wind. And the followers of Islamic fundamentalism multiply like a protozoa of a cell which splits to become two cells then four then eight then sixteen then thirty-two to infinity. Those who are not aware of it only have to look at the images that the TV brings us every day. The multitudes that impregnate the streets of Islamabad, the squares of Nairobi, the mosques of Tehran. The ferocious faces, the threatening fists. The fires that burn the American flag and the photos of Bush.
The clash between us and them is not a military clash. Oh, no. It is a cultural one, a religious one. And our military victories do not solve the offensive of Islamic terrorism. On the contrary, they encourage it. They exacerbate it, they multiply it. The worst is still to come.
President Bush has said, We refuse to live in fear.
Beautiful sentence, very beautiful. I loved it! But inexact, Mr. President, because the West does live in fear. People are afraid to speak against the Islamic world. Afraid to offend, and to be punished for offending, the sons of Allah. You can insult the Christians, the Buddhists, the Hindus, the Jews. You can slander the Catholics, you can spit on the Madonna and Jesus Christ. But, woe betide the citizen who pronounces a word against the Islamic religion.
My small book is not tender with Islam. In certain passages, it is even ferocious. But it is much more ferocious with us: with us Italians, us Europeans, us Americans.
I call my book a sermonaddressed to the Italians, to the Europeans, the Westerners. And along with the rage, this sermon unchains the pride for their culture, my culture. That culture that in spite of its mistakes, its faults, even monstrosities, has given so much to the world. It has moved us from the tents of the deserts and the huts of the woods to the dignity of civilization. It has given us the concept of beauty, of morals, of freedom, of equality. It has made the unique conquest in the social field, in the realm of science. It has wiped out diseases. It has invented all the tools that make life easier and more intelligent, those tools that our enemy can also use, for instance, to kill us. It has brought us to the moon and to Mars, and this cannot be said of the other culture. A culture, which has produced and produces only religion, which in every sense imprisons women inside the burkah or the chador, which is never accompanied by a drop of freedom, a drop of democracy, which subjugates its people under theocratical, oppressive regimes.
Socrates and Aristotle and Heraclitus were not mullahs. Jesus Christ, neither. Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelangelo, and Galileo, and Copernicus, and Newton and Pasteur and Einstein, the same.
My book is also a jaccuse. To accuse us of cowardice, hypocrisy, demagogy, laziness, moral misery, and of all that comes with that. The stupidity of the unbearable fad of political correctness, for instance. The paucity of our schools, our universities, our young people, people who often dont even know the story of their country, the names Jefferson, Franklin, Robespierre, Napoleon, Garibaldi. And no understanding that freedom cannot exist without discipline, self-discipline.
I accuse ourselves also of another crime: the loss of passion. Havent you understood what drives our enemies? What permits them to fight this war against us? The passion! They have passion! They have so much passion that they can die for it!
Their leaders, too, of course. I met Khomeini. I discussed with him for more than six hours in calm, and I tell you that that man was a man of passion. I never met bin Laden. But I have well observed his eyes. I have well listened to his voice. And I tell you that that man is a man of passion. We have lost passion.
Well, I have not. I boil with passion. I, too, am ready to die for passion. But around me, I see no passion. Even those who hate me and attack me and insult me do this without passion. They are mollusks, not men and women. And a civilization, a culture, cannot survive without passion, cannot be saved without passion. If the West does not wake up, if we do not refind passion, we are lost.
To quote from my book:
The problem is that the solution does not depend upon the death of Osama bin Laden. Because the Osama bin Ladens are too many, by now: as cloned as the sheep of our research laboratories . In fact, the best trained and the more intelligent do not stay in the Muslim countries... They stay in our own countries, in our cities, our universities, our business companies. They have excellent bonds with our churches, our banks, our televisions, our radios, our newspapers, our publishers, our academic organizations, our unions, our political parties . Worse, they live in the heart of a society that hosts them without questioning their differences, with- out checking their bad intentions, without penalizing their sullen fanaticism.
[I]f we continue to stay inert, they will become always more and more. They will demand always more and more, they will vex and boss us always more and more. Til the point of subduing us. Therefore, dealing with them is impossible. Attempting a dialogue, unthinkable. Showing indulgence, suicidal. And he or she who believes the contrary is a fool.
Wonderful graphic devolve.

May 5, 2013
Tied at 2-2 in the seventh, sophomore Callie Parsons got the rally started with a walk, and senior Brianna Turang followed with a single through the left side. Sophomore Lauren Chamberlain flew out to right field for the first out, but it was deep enough to move Parsons up to third.
Sophomore Georgia Casey came to the plate next and put down a squeeze bunt to allow Parsons to slide in safely and score what would be the game-winning run. Later in the frame, with runners on the corners, Ricketts helped her own cause with a chopper back up the middle to drive in Turang for an insurance run.
The rally enabled Ricketts to celebrate a dominant win. Her 17 strikeouts set a season high, surpassing the 15 she recorded at Texas on April 19. It was also tied for the second-highest strikeout total of her career, trailing only the school-record 19 she had against Iona on May 20, 2011.
Ricketts, who got the first 12 outs of the game via a swinging strikeout, improved to 25-1 with the win. She allowed four hits, three walks and two runs, though only one run was earned.
At the plate, Ricketts was 1-3 with an RBI single. In the first inning, she drew the 164th walk of her career to break the school record of 163 held by Amber Flores.
Kansas broke through first in the second inning when Chanin Naudin hit an RBI double. The Jayhawks proceeded to load the bases with no one out, but Ricketts came back with three straight strikeouts to avoid any further damage.
Ricketts then struck out the side in the third and led off the fourth with another punchout for seven strikeouts in a row. After a hit batter, the senior southpaw came back with two more strikeouts.
After being held scoreless through four innings for just the fifth time this season, Oklahoma took the lead in the fifth inning.
Junior Destinee Martinez and Parsons led off the fifth with back-to-back singles. Turang then bunted them into scoring position before a walk to Chamberlain loaded the bases.
On a full-count pitch, Casey hit a bloop single into right center that allowed Martinez and Parsons to score and give the Sooners a 2-1 lead.
The Jayhawks answered back in the bottom of the frame when Alex Hugo reached on a wild pitch strikeout and came around to score on a Sooners throwing error.

A storm that turned out to be a little more potent that forecasters had expected brought out chain controls on the California side of the Sierra late Monday.
Chains were mandatory on both Interstate-80 and on U.S. 50 - the two main highways linking Northern California and Nevada.
Chains or snow tires were required over the Mount Rose summit south of Reno.
A snow advisory was posted above 7,000 feet in the Sierra starting Tuesday.
Accumulations of up to 1 inch were likely by morning. It also was expected to be windy, with gusts to 50 mph whipping the snow on the ridges.
Another 4-8 inches could fall Tuesday above 7,000 feet with up to 3 inches around Lake Tahoe, again with gusty winds.
Western Nevada was expected to see scattered snow late Monday in the Reno-Carson City-Minden corridor with rain and snow likely on Tuesday. The snow level was to be around 5,000 feet with accumulations of an inch or so in the foothills above that.
As the snow began falling, the Desert Research Institute turned on its cloud-seeding generators. Four were operating in the Tahoe Basin and three were on in the Walker River Basin.

Alphacool Eiszapfen HF quick release connector kit G3/8 inner thread with reducing nipple G1/4 - dee

Alphacool's new quick couplers with the name "Eiszapfen" are the next block in the "Eis" series. High quality and impressive features makes any watercooling system back to a piece of high-quality and practical!
A quick coupling is used everywhere where expandability, flexibility and cleanness play an important role. These compact couplings have a 3/8" thread on both sides.To use the standard 1/4" thread you need a adaptor from 3/8" to 1/4".
By pulling down the outer ring these couplings can be disconnected. Both sides close immediately completely tight so that no water can escape. Thanks to the special N.D.S.L. Technology (no drip, no splash, no leak) a leak, drip or splash out of the water on opening the lock is excluded. By assembling again, both sides must click into each other audibly and shut themselves tightly by a double O-ring, which is simply compressed when plugged together.
Likewise, the mechanism was designed for durability to ensure a secure connection even years.
Many quick couplings usually also affect the flow rate. But Alphacool has found a way to resolve this issue. A high flow rate is maintained at these quick couplings!
Alphacools quick couplers are available in two finishes. In deep black and fully chromed these add seamlessly on every system.
Technical Details:
- Dimensions (L x D): 88,5 x 28mm
- Material: Brass
- Colour: Deep Black
- Thread: 2x 3/8" internal thread
Scope of Delivery:
- 1x Alphacool Eiszapfen HF quick release connector kit G3/8 inner thread with reducing nipple G1/4 - Deep Black
The quick couplings should not be used permanently in dry condition, since the O-rings may be too much strain and tightness is no longer guaranteed.

Hewlett-Packard on Wednesday said it has found a potential security issue in the software of its enterprise-class StoreOnce deduplication appliances.
HP said the security risk does not impact its latest HP StoreOnce deduplication appliances, and that a patch will be made available shortly for older models affected by the problem.
The potential storage security risk appears to have been brought to the attention of HP by a blogger who goes by the name "Technion."
[Related: HP Intros Flash-Optimized 3PAR Array, Virtual Dedupe Appliance]
Technion wrote that he discovered a backdoor into the StoreOnce software. Someone could key in the IP address of an HP StoreOnce appliance, key in "HPSupport" as the username, and input the password, which can be determined from a specific password hash.
The result? "Say hello to an administrative account you didn't know existed," he wrote.
Technion wrote that he tried contacting HP for "weeks," but received no response from the vendor.
"HP are working on their 'close your eyes and it might go away' approach," he wrote.
Vulnerabilities can happen to everyone, Technion wrote. "Anyone can have any number of issues. Secret root accounts is not one of them. There's no excuse for hating your users this much," he wrote.
When contacted by CRN, HP responded with a statement and a security bulletin.
The statement, attributed to an HP spokesperson, read, "HP identified a potential security issue with older HP StoreOnce models. This does not affect StoreOnce systems with the current version 3.0 software, including the HP StoreOnce B6200 and HP StoreOnce VSA product offerings. HP takes security issues very seriously and is working actively on a fix."
The statement also included a link to an HP security bulletin that said HP has identified a "potential security vulnerability" in the HP StoreOnce D2D (disk-to-disk) backup system.
"The vulnerability could be exploited remotely resulting in unauthorized access and modification. ... A user who is logged in via the HPSupport user account does not have access to the data that has been backed up to the HP StoreOnce Backup system, and hence is not able to read or download the backed up data. However, it is possible to reset the device to factory defaults, and hence delete all backed up data that is present on the device," HP wrote in the security bulletin.

Dec 19, 2007 - EERE Network News
DOE's Energy Information Administration (EIA) is
now projecting renewable energy to experience 23%
faster growth between now and 2030 than previously
anticipated. The EIA's latest "Annual Energy Outlook"
foresees renewable energy providing 12.2 quadrillion
Btu (quads) of energy by 2030, up from only 9.9
quads in last year's outlook. For comparison, total
U.S. energy use was 100 quads in 2006 and is projected
to increase to 123.8 quads by 2030. The EIA projections
include hydropower, which is expected to increase
from 2.89 quads in 2006 to 3 quads in 2015, staying
level after that. In contrast, biomass energy is
projected to increase from 2.97 quads in 2006 to
5.52 quads in 2030, an 86% increase, while "other
renewable energy" is projected to increase from
0.88 quads in 2006 to 2.49 quads in 2030, a nearly
threefold increase. And this is just the EIA's reference
case, often characterized as the "business as usual"
case; a full EIA report examining alternative scenarios
will be released early in 2008.
Breaking down the numbers for electricity production,
geothermal power production is expected to increase
88.4% by 2030, while the power generated from wood
and other biomass is expected to increase nearly
ninefold. Solar thermal power generation is expected
to increase more than fourfold, while grid-connected
solar power, which provided a miniscule share of
the country's power in 2006, is projected to experience
a 73-fold increase. Wind power is projected to experience
a fivefold increase, but the EIA does not project
any significant offshore wind power in its reference
case. Meanwhile, the contributions from biofuels
are expected to nearly quadruple, growing from 0.5
quads in 2006 to 1.87 quads in 2030. In addition,
residential and commercial use of geothermal heat
pumps, solar hot water, and solar and wind power
are expected to contribute only 0.17 quads by 2030.
Overall, the EIA report projects higher oil prices
in the future, although it anticipates that oil
prices will gradually decline to a low of $58 per
barrel in 2016. After that, oil prices steadily
escalate back to today's prices by 2030, due to
an increasing reliance on "higher cost supplies."
That also retards the growth in U.S. energy use,
which increases at 0.9% per year in the reference
case. And with our increasing reliance on high-tech
devices, electricity use increases faster than total
energy use, growing at an average annual rate of

The lights are on
Confused about continuity? Want to start your own Marvel vs. DC superhero war? Head on in to pick apart storylines, books, artists, authors, and much more. The superhero registration line starts here.
I figured there should be a thread about everyone's thoughts on the reboot, even though I suspect most will be negative. I read Batgirl 18 yesterday and thought it was much better written than all of the other issues in the volume thus far. The thing is-it wasn't written by Simone but by Ray Fawkes. Anyone else agree/disagree? What else has been/is still bugging you about the New 52? Have you actually liked anything about it? Blah, blah blah.
My pull list
Vae Victis.
Vocatus atque non vocatus deus aderit.
I'm actually buying more DC books now than I ever was before, I know a lot of people complain about the 5 year timeline and a lot of stuff not syncing up and old stuff getting erased and blah blah blah, but comic books are a storytelling medium and so far there have been some fantastic stories told in the new 52, a lot of them would have fit into the old continuity just fine which means they sort of missed the whole point of a "reboot" but the only thing that's really upset me was how they thoroughly erased arguably the best batman story of all time: Year One
"If you really loved me you'd all kill yourselves right now" -Spider Jerusalem
@Chaos: I definitely have to agree with they Year One thing as Snyder's Zero Year isn't going to be able to hold a candle to it. Sadly, when I made a list of my Top 10 picks thus far, there wasn't a single DC title on it. : /. I have thoroughly enjoyed GL, Earth 2, Justice League (especially for the Shazam stories at the end), Aquaman, and Justice League Dark, as they're some of the series I've actually stuck with for the entirety of the reboot. I also enjoyed the few issues of Team 7 that I read and immediately subscribed to Justice League of America because it'll feature the Martian Manhunter, one of my favorite characters. What's your take on Snyder's run on Swamp Thing as I haven't read it but was quite fond and creeped out, of/by Moore's 80's run? Also, which DC books are you buying, if you don't mind me asking? Finally, do you think we should do one other (active) thread for other publishers or do one separately for each one? I can see doing a Dark Horse thread separately from one that's for (Dynamite, Aspen, Valiant, ect.) but that may be redundant if no one is reading Dark Horse.
Well I know I'm on the minority on this, but, I'm glad that the New 52 happened, if it didn't, I would still probably be a casual comic reader, subscribed to one series (Deadpool) like I was two years ago. The New 52 (mainly Batman) sparked my (deeper) love of comics, and for that, I am forever grateful.
Every single one of Snyder/Capullo's Batman stories have been some of my favorite comics ever, Court of Owls (which will always have a special place in my heart for being my first ever Batman story) and Death of the Family were amazing, and I expect even more from Zero Year, which I suspect will be the story Snyder is remembered for. Snyder and Capullo are my two favorite in the industry right now.
JLA had a very good first issue, I expect this series to be great. It focuses on Secrets, Darkness and Suprises.
I've only read two issues of Green Lantern but I really like it, with all the sci-fi/space elements, interesting characters, and Geoff Johns writng, it's great.
Justice League has had it's ups and downs but for the most part, I think it's been pretty exciting, it's just a comic that you have to make an effort to enjoy. Geoff Johns is another one of my favorites too.
I've like every title that I've subscribed to more than any Marvel title, and that is saying something because used to be a die-hard Marvelite.
As for the thread thing, I like what we have going here with our main threads, we have two threads for DC and Marvel, and one for pretty much anything comic book news related. I don't read much Dark horse, but I'm not sure about everyone else, so my vote goes for a single thread for for Image, Dark Horse, Vertigo, Valiant, Dynamite and anything else besides the Big Two.
I've been meaning to try out Aquaman and Wonder Woman, I've heard great things about both of those series.
Peaceful Days died, Let's Survive
we've got threads for the big two we might as well make one for the 15 other publishers and imprints, now to sort of check off things that have been brought up in my absence
@Gaming Warthog: both of those series are phenomenal, particularly wonder woman, a book whose only flaw is that it only comes out once a month
@Cameron: I'll always remember Snyder for American Vampire and Severed myself, and if He is remembered for Zero Year lets hope they're fond memories, erasing Year one was a major misstep on his part
@Queso: if you're even remotely a fan of Moores run then Snyder's Swamp Thing is a must, at times it feels like just a big throwback to Moores run in a good way and it builds on a lot of the stuff Moore and the people after him set down as foundation for the Character, just be aware that you'll also probably need to get into Animal man as well, seeing as so far they've been pretty closely tied together, the two of them also seem to be some of the only people aware of the reboot even though its vaguely with previous events being referred to as dreams by both characters.
And finally the DC books I'm buying (which is substantially easier than the books I get on a monthly basis) are currently: Batman, Swamp Thing, Animal Man, Justice League, Aquaman, JLA, wonder woman, and I recently jumped off of Dial H, and started reading Green Arrow with the creative team change, I'll also be grabbing Constantine when it comes out and Superman Unchained (or man of steel or whatever they're calling it) and dropping Swamp thing if and when the rumored Creative team changes happen
@Chaos: The Swamp Thing creative team changes next issue, but I do not remember who is taking over. So Animal Man and Swamp thing know about the reboot, eh? They better not switch back to the old world or I'm gonna be mad, because doesn't Pandora know about it too? I heard she was in Flashpoint and I have yet to read it, so is that how it ends? Is the New52 part of the story?
I'm eventually going to buy at least Snyder's run on Swamp Thing in volumes, but that is not at the top of my list, and, well...you don't wanna know how long my list IS.
@Queso: As I said up ^^^ there, the ST creative team is shifting with the next issue, so that might be a good jumping on point, but if you are just interested in Snyder's run, it should probably be finished in the third volume (when it's published) so I would reccomend waiting for the third volume.
@Warty: Have you gotten around to trying any DC titles yet, or are you still testing out Marvel? Either way, again I suggest Batman a million times over.
Flashpoint ends with Barry Allen attempting to fix the damaged timestream and being told by a masked figure (Pandora) that several universes exist and that in order to prevent catastrophe Barry has to merge three of them creating one new universe, the new 52, Barry was also aware of the change but seemed ok with it as things were more or less back to normal and he delivered a message to Batman from Thomas Wayne the Flashpoint universes Batman, personally I don't mind them figuring out a way to maybe do another merge thing, people seem to forget that DC has rebooted their continuity several times, heck for awhile there were two timelines running parallel, which led to crisis on infinite earths which was designed to bring all of DC comics canon together into a newly established universal whole, they even set definite rules, like that the multiverse no longer existed etc. the new rules didn't last very long, New 52 will probably turn out similarly
Well they should at least keep the costumes if that happens, I don't want the undies to come back.
I do, those undies are iconic
Is that why John Constaine and Animal Man are in the DCU? Because I know they're from Vertigo.
Animal man is actually a DC character, the original vertigo comics were DC books that were written for mature readers so sandman, swamp thing and the original Constantine appearances and animal man all took place in the dcu, technically Constantine has always been in the DC continuity people just forgot about him for like 20 years because he was difficult to use in mainstream comics which left us with the vertigo john Constantine who had his own continuity and aged in real time, DC recently axed him in favor of the new series even though both series could've coexisted bleh, also speaking of obscure vertigo stuff did anyone else read Jeff lemires one shot of kid eternity? I'd totally buy a series for that book
Besides for different costumes and Year One not being canon, a lot of Batman's history remains intact so far.
well except for the fact that it all somehow has to fit into a span of 5 years which it couldn't, even remotely, so far the only changes they've told us about are the ones you mentioned, also Tim Drake was never Robin
