The Bob Boyd Invitational continues to grow as one of the premier events
The Bob Boyd Invitational continues to grow as one of the premier events on the area golf calendar.
The third annual pro-am, scheduled for Oct. 8 at Pine Valley in Wilmington, will again feature touring professionals to complement the strong field of area club pros, many of whom competed against and laughed with Boyd during his remarkable career.
A seven-time Carolinas PGA Player of the Year, Boyd died in early 2011 after a five-year battle with leukemia. His widow, Pam, founded the pro-am, and proceeds go to a variety of charities, in addition to a scholarship given annually to the child of a Pine Valley member.
Last year's tournament raised more than $50,000 for the UNC Lineberger Cancer Research Center, SECU Family House at UNC and the scholarship fund. The event also added 32 registrants to the National Bone Marrow Registry.
Touring pros scheduled to compete this year include 1987 Masters champion Larry Mize, who is returning for the second year; Ken Green, a PGA Tour winner and member of the 1989 U.S. Ryder Cup team; former Wilmington resident Bruce Fleisher, who won 18 tournaments on the Champions Tour from 1999-2004; Pete Oakley, a longtime club pro who won the 2004 Senior British Open; and Englishman Roger Chapman, who in 2012 won the U.S. Senior Open and U.S. Senior PGA.
Past pro-ams included a silent auction, raffle, prizes and of, course many tales about Boyd, who lived at Pine Valley and also served a stint as the pro there. Boyd played on the European Senior Tour from 2005 to 2010, winning once and regularly finishing top 30 on the Order of Merit.
Entry fee is $150 per player. To register, sponsor or donate, visit bobboydinvitational.com.
Wells Fargo here?
Of course, a full field PGA Tour event would be the ultimate golf prize for our area, and all indicators still point toward the Wells Fargo Championship making a one-year cameo at Eagle Point Golf Club in 2017.
The deal hinges on Wells Fargo extending its sponsorship of the tournament beyond 2014. While there's nothing official to report on that front, multiple sources feel a deal is imminent, if not already complete.
It's a hefty commitment from the financial giant; the Charlotte Business Journal reports it costs Wells Fargo $7 million annually to sponsor the tournament. The Wells Fargo Championship suffered through splotchy greens at Quail Hollow Club in May, but otherwise is one of the premier regular PGA Tour events, attracting a strong post-Masters field.
The tournament needs a home in 2017, because Quail Hollow is host course for the PGA Championship that August, and cannot handle two professional events in a four-month span.
Eagle Point, a Tom Fazio design near the coast in northern New Hanover County, opened in 2000 and has been a fixture on the Golf Digest list of America's 100 Greatest Courses for the last six years.

The Ford Fusion Energi may be sitting pretty at 100 MPGe combined, but there's a new plug-in hybrid sedan in town. The 2014 Honda Accord Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle has received a 115 MPGe rating from the EPA, making it the new mileage king.
The rating, which comes shortly after the EPA affirmed Ford's 100 MPGe estimate for the Fusion, makes the Accord the most efficient plug-in vehicle available. The Accord also beats the Chevrolet Volt and Toyota Prius plug-in, rated at 94 and 95 MPGe, respectively, in the mileage race.
The Accord may have the advantage in MPGe, but other cars can spend more time driving exclusively on electric power. The Accord's electric-only range is 13 miles. The Fusion can travel 21 miles on batteries, while the Volt can go 35 miles.
That basically means a fully-charged Fusion or Volt could be the more efficient choice on short drives, but their advantage will diminish once the gasoline engines kick in.
Powering the 2014 Accord PHEV is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, a pair of electric motors, and a 6.7-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Drivers can switch between all electric, gasoline-electric, and direct-to-drive modes depending on conditions.
Differentiating the Accord PHEV from the conventional Accord sedan are an exclusive telematics system, Honda Link EV app, and biofabric interior. The exterior gets a makeover that is decidedly different, but buyers will have to decide whether it suits their tastes. The blue mustache surrounding the grille's giant Honda badge is an interesting touch.
The 2014 Accord PHEV is currently on sale, but only at select dealers in New York and California. In California, drivers will be able to use the state's carpool lanes. It starts at $39,780, slightly more than the Fusion Energi's $38,700 base price. That closeness is sure to make plug-ins the next battlefield in the midsize sedan war.
Adding class-leading MPGe to one of America's most popular midsize sedans should produce a winner for Honda and another impressive choice for buyers seeking maximum fuel economy.

What is BBFCinsight?
The BBFC publishes detailed information about the content of every film that we rate, which we call BBFCinsight. BBFCinsight is aimed particularly at parents. It offers a summary of how and why a film was rated at any given category.
What is BBFCinsight?
BBFCinsight is a short description of the issues found in a film, video or DVD work. We also publish a longer, expanded version of BBFCinsight on this website and the BBFC app.
BBFCinsight will tell you what certificate a film was given and what sort of audience we believe the work is suitable for.
Do all works given an age rating have BBFCinsight?
Yes. BBFCinsight for films and video games classified after 2007 includes longer, more detailed information for parents highlighting the key classification issues.
Where can I find BBFCinsight?
BBFCinsight is displayed on this website. Search for the film, DVD or video game you want to read about or browse our database of titles. You may also find short versions of BBFCinsight on film posters, listings and on DVD packaging.
Who is BBFCinsight for?
BBFCinsight, especially the longer version, is designed for adults who want to get a more detailed idea of what issues (such as sex, violence, drugs, bad language, discrimination) they are likely to find within a film or video before they let a child see it. General viewers are encouraged to check BBFCinsight if they want a clear idea of the sorts of issues a work contains.
How does BBFCinsight work?
BBFCinsight highlights the key issues in a film then expands on this giving examples of the sorts of things you will see or hear. These may include, for example, violence, bad language, and sex references.
BBFCinsight also notes any other issues that might be important for parents, or those wishing to take younger viewers to see a film – for example themes of divorce or bereavement or use of discriminatory language or behaviour.
Will reading the BBFCinsight ruin the film?
As a general rule we avoid giving away major plot points unless they are the key classification issues in a work. However, some BBFCinsight may contain plot spoilers, and we warn you of this.
Occasionally the longer BBFCinsight describes full sequences in a film. For example, it might describe a specific fight scene to give you a flavour of the sort of violence in a film and how strong it looks and feels.
What if there is no BBFCinsight for a film listed on this site?
Some films were rated before detailed information about why a rating was given was published for consumers. We realise that parents and carers might be interested in knowing a little more about some of these films, before deciding if they are suitable for their children.
So if you can't find information on a specific family/children's film (passed at U, PG or 12A/12), please feel free to contact us here and we will try to provide it for you.
When is BBFCinsight available for a film?
We publish BBFCinsight the moment a film or video is classified. However, the longer version is not available until 10 days before the film opens.
Sometimes we rate films many weeks, or even months before they are due to open, which explains why not all films listed here will have a link to the longer BBFCinsight yet.

Beyonce has poked fun at herself by revamping the lyrics to her hit song Halo to acknowledge her hair drama at a concert in Canada on Monday.
The Crazy In Love hitmaker had crouched down on the edge of the stage at the Bell Center in Montreal to belt out the ballad when her long locks got swept up into the blades of an industrial-sized fan positioned in front of the audience pit.
She continued to perform as assistants and security guards came to her rescue and after the gig, Beyonce made light of the situation via a post on her Instagram.com page.
She shared a photo of her handwritten lyrics for the reworked version of Halo, which read: "Gravity can't begiiiin/to pull me out of the fan again/I felt my hair was yankiiin/From the fan that's always hatiiiin… I got snatched (sic)!"
The incident reportedly occurred as Beyonce tried to sing with an audience member.
A source tells UsMagazine.com, "Bey's hair got caught in the fan because she went downstage to an area she normally doesn't go for a fan… There was a girl in the front who was holding up a sign with a bucket list on it of all the things she wanted to do with her life. It was things like, 'graduate from college' and all the boxes were checked except the last one, which was, 'Sing With Beyonce!'
"Beyonce was so moved she went down into the pit to sing Halo with the girl to give her her final wish. She wasn't even thinking of the fan – she was focused on the girl she was trying to do something nice for and it was unprompted. It really came from a good place."
Beyonce has poked fun at herself by revamping the lyrics to her hit song Halo to acknowledge her hair drama at a concert in Canada on Monday.

Although there are dozens of songs in Les Miserables, only one of them has a shot at winning the Oscar this year — the lullaby-like new composition "Suddenly."
In this behind-the-scenes video put together by Universal, composer Claude-Michel Schönberg and lyricist Alain Boublil discuss adding a song to their show, nearly three decades after its creation.
"Suddenly" is performed by Hugh Jackman mid-way through the movie, after the fugitive Jean Valjean rescues the little girl Cosette from the abusive in of the Thenardiers (Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.) "Up until then, at age 50, he had never loved or been loved by anybody," Jackman tells EW. "That's why that song was written — which I thought was a great reason to write a song."
In the video, Schönberg says that moment is too subtle to capture onstage, and Boublil estimates it was a good way to take advantage of the intimacy that a movie can provide.
And of course, just as a musician might add a couple new songs to a "Greatest Hits" album, "Suddenly" rewards longtime Les Mis fans with something new — while also snagging some eligibility for that coveted Best Original Song award.
Universal also released another behind-the-scenes video, this one exploring the hair and make-up effects created by Lisa Westcott:
"Somehow she manages to pull off this extraordinary journey for Hugh where you really feel like he has lived a long and tiring life," director Tom Hooper says of Westcott.
Westcott points out an unexpected make-up challenge on Les Mis — the teeth of the actors. In most films, it's a minor issue at most, but in a period musical the actors are holding notes and keeping their mouths wide open. Hooper is known for his close-ups, so anachronistically healthy teeth would be obvious.
The question she said she asked herself constantly was a simple one: "Can you believe it?"

Back to School Shopping: Our Fall Must Haves
For starters, who doesn't want to pull a mirrored compact out of their handbag? But La Prairie's new Anti-Aging Eye and Lip Perfection a Porter ($150) isn't only great because of its looks. The pillowy soft eye cream really does de-puff and fill in fine lines for an immediately brightening effect and the lip balm is moisturizing without being too shiny.
Another two-in-one, Tom Ford's Eye Defining Pen ($55) in Deeper features a thin brush on one end and a teeny tiny, almost sharp it's so pointed, felt tip marker on the other. "If you can't draw the perfect cat eye with this, you might as well give up," says Editorial Director Britt Aboutaleb.
"I consider myself a dry shampoo expert," Editor Lexy Lebsack says. "And I expect a lot from new formulas." It must deliver volume and thickness while soaking up oil—all in non-clogging packaging. Keratin Complex's Volumizing Dry Shampoo Lift Powder ($35) does all of this and more: "The tinted formula gently blends away my light brown roots between color appointments!"
Fall's the only time Aboutaleb's tempted to experiment with nail polish. "I stick to classic reds year round, but come September I crave a navy blue or eggplant purple," she says. Yves Saint Laurent's La Laque Couture ($25) in No.40 Sepia 7E is a decadently rich shade of the latter.
"I admit that I fall in love with a new scent every season. For fall, I'm stowing my Balenciaga Florabotanica for the warm and slightly-spicy Ambre Soie ($275) from Armani," Lebsack says. "It's not very affordable, but what can I say, the heart wants what it wants."
Kevyn Aucoin's mascara is an office favorite for two reasons: it works brilliantly and it comes off with just a splash of warm water (yet, it doesn't budge during the day). The newest, The Essentials ($32), features a voluptuous brush that deposits plenty of pigment without a single clump.
Fall isn't short of great new polish shades, but Essie's Nail Polish ($8) in For The Twill of It and Vested Interest stuck out to Lebsack. "It's hard to find a metallic polish that has a warm undertone and this green is just great in every way."
"I'm cheating a bit because this isn't new, but it's still the best," says Aboutaleb. Leonor Greyl's Huile de Palme ($52) turns deep-fried, over-salted summer hair soft again.
"I prefer a neutral lip—always have—so after seasons of bold colors being front and center it's nice to see brands coming out with new ranges of beige and brown tones," Lebsack says. "I wear shade six from Hourglass' new Femme Nude Lip Stylos ($30), which is totally opaque with a slight brown undertone, aka, my '90s-inspired dream shade."
"It might have a provocative name, but Too Faced's Better Than Sex Mascara ($23) is more than just clever marketing," Lebsack says. "The brush delivers an insane amount of product that makes lashes thick, full, and incredibly dark in just one swipe. Seriously, two coats is too much."

Andy Rubin, Google's vice president of engineering, announced the agreement, or deal, or whatever you'd call it, on Adobe's company blog. The gist is that Google is working together with Adobe to bring both AIR and Flash to the Android platform.
"Partnerships have been at the very heart of Android, the first truly open and comprehensive mobile platform, since we first introduced it with the Open Handset Alliance," Rubin writes, "Through close relationships with carriers, device manufacturers, developers, and others, Google is working to enable an open ecosystem for the mobile world by creating a standard, open mobile software platform. Today we're excited that, working with Adobe, we will be able to bring both AIR and Flash to Android."
Rubin then goes on to more or less attack Apple head-on. "Google believes that developers should have their choice of tools and technologies to create applications," he writes, "By supporting Adobe AIR on Android we hope that millions of creative designers and developers will be able to express themselves more freely when they create applications for Android devices. More broadly, AIR will foster rapid and continuous innovation across the mobile ecosystem."
Yes, the struggle between Apple and Google is heating up even further, and unlikely partnerships can be made there. Google already delivers Flash through Chrome (optionally), and now, they're working with Adobe to bring Flash and AIR towards Android. While I personally have no interest in Flash, it's a good thing that Android is open like this - users are not forced to install and/or use Flash or AIR applications, but can do so if they so desire.
"Google is happy to be partnering with Adobe to bring the full web, great applications, and developer choice to the Android platform," Rubin adds, "Our engineering teams have been working closely to bring both AIR and Flash Player to Google's mobile operating system and devices. The Android platform is enjoying great adoption, and we expect our work with Adobe will help that growth continue."
Whether or not this will sway developers to work on Android remains to be seen. It will all depend on how pervasive both AIR and Flash will be on other platforms; if they come to webOS, Android, Windows Phone 7, then people making games would have to go through a lot of extra effort to support the iPhone. With Android rising quickly in popularity, Apple might find out it shot itself in the foot.
Speculation, of course. For now, the iPhone is the most popular mobile platform for application developers, and that surely won't change overnight.

Once you have made and gotten used to one lifestyle change, make another. It does not have to be all or nothing. Once you find the balance, add it into your life over time, and begin the dance, you will have a great regime that will be easy to keep up for the rest of your life.
Diets Verses Dieting
There is a huge difference between diet and dieting. When you are dieting, you are using foods to help you eat right and lose weight. This is very different than staying healthy with diet. Your diet is what you eat to maintain your lifestyle. Eating a healthy diet that is well balanced and maintains your target weight and activity level is the goal. If you are dieting you are reducing the amount of food you intake and raise the amount of activity to burn more calories than you are taking in, in order to reduce your weight. While your diet should be well balanced no matter if you are losing weight or not, you should remember that often times you will need to reduce specific food groups if you are dieting verses in your normal diet.
Activity, Activity, Activity
Staying healthy requires some form of activity. While many people claim there is no time to exercise or work out, there are many types of things that are considered activity that one can easily do each day. Going to the gym or working out to home video is not the only way to get the exercise that you need to stay healthy. You can go for a simple walk, play jump rope with the children, use stairs instead of elevators, or park further away from places to get the extra activity. While many people love the idea of a regime or set plan of exercise, others need a less formal routine.
Having Fun To Stay Young
If you really want to stay young, you need to schedule time to have fun. Life cannot only be about the things you need. Staying healthy requires a bit of down time to relax and get away from everyday responsibilities. Always try to make sure you schedule at least one day a month to get out and do something for you. It does not have to be expensive or cost anything at all. Just get out and do something you enjoy.

Patriot Viper Series Tri Channel DDR3 PC3 10666 3x2 GB Review
Patriots Viper series of modules are geared toward the enthusiast. Flashy heatspreaders and performance capabilities beyond their specifications are what I have seen in the past. This PC3-10666 Enhanced Latency kit contains three, 2GB modules for a combined total of six gigabytes of DDR3 10666 memory. Six gigs of memory?! I cant even use the four gigs I have currently installed, I hear you saying. To take advantage of this much memory you will need a 64-bit operating system to address the entire six gigabytes. Sure you could install it on a 32-bit system, but would there be any performance difference between a three and six gigabyte setup? I'll have to see now, won't I? This Viper series set of memory from Patriot is part of the Enhanced Latency lineup and features latencies of 9-9-9-24 using 1.65 volts, the maximum recommended vDIMM according to the Intel specification for the Core I7 processors. The modules are certified for use on the X58 based motherboards and carry an XMP profile for easy system setup.
Closer Look:
The Viper Series Tri Channel PC3-10666 come pakaged in a box rather than the clamshell or blister pack so commonly used for packaging memory modules. The front of the box gives a preview of the modules showing off the signature Viper series heatspreaders. Highlights noted are the XMP profile and the fact that these modules are designed specifically for use in Tri Channel mode on motherboards featuring the Intel X58 chipset. The rear panel lists contact information, tech support information, and the fact that these modules carry a lifetime warranty.
The modules are contained inside the box locked into a clamshell that is easily opened. The three Viper Series modules are visible as well as an installation and troubleshooting manual, just in case.
The Viper Series modules are targeted at the enthusiast and gamer. This set is rated at 9-9-9-24 at 1333MHz using 1.65 volts to reach this speed. The modules are clad in Patriots proprietary ACC (Aluminum Copper Composite) heatspreaders that are blue in color. The ACC heatspreaders have a copper inner layer that is in contact with the modules to draw the heat from the modules, and then transfers it out through the aluminum to be dissipated through the fins. If you look closely along the fins you will see a rib running from the top to the bottom of the Viper heatspreader. This alone increases the surface area to provide additional cooling "capacity".
Lets see if the increase in system memory from three gigabytes to a six gigabyte setup provides an increase in performance for the additional cost.

The Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station held a town hall style meeting Wednesday for civilian employees of the 914th Airlift Wing regarding actions to be taken in the event that sequestration-triggered Department of Defense civilian employee furloughs go into effect next month.
More than 300 members of the 914th attended this meeting on the base to hear from wing leadership on plans to implement furlough actions should they occur.
"We are doing everything in our power to avoid or minimize the effects of this administrative furlough on our employees as it breaks faith with those who have proven themselves both effective and efficient to our mission and have made our Air Force better," said Col. Allan Swartzmiller, 914th Airlift Wing commander.
If Congress does not act on sequestration, most DOD civilian employees will be furloughed without pay for 22 non-consecutive days - one day per week starting in late April through the end of the fiscal year. That amounts to a 20 percent loss of pay and associated financial hardships for approximately 280 base employees.
"Should these furloughs take effect in late April, the plan is for the 914th Airlift Wing to be closed for business on Mondays through the fiscal year," said Swartzmiller. "However, base security and emergency services will still be maintained."
Sequestration, signed into law as part of the 2011 Budget Control Act, is a package of mandated cuts to the federal budget, totaling some $1.2 trillion over 10 years of which some $85 billion takes effect in fiscal 2013.
Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station is also home to the New York Air National Guard's 107th Airlift Wing.

Immigration Enforcement Law Proposed in Montana
It's not a magnet for undocumented immigrants. And that's just the way at least one Montana lawmaker likes it.
State Rep. David Howard, a Republican known well in Montana for his take-no-prisoners stance on illegal immigration, is determined to keep the state nicknamed "Big Sky Country" as the last place any undocumented immigrant would want to call home.
Howard is pushing a bill that calls on government agencies across the state to enforce federal immigration laws.
Howard told the Montana House Judiciary Committee on Monday that his bill, HB 50, ensures local governments will enforce immigration laws and not turn a blind eye to undocumented immigrants.
Howard said that some cities in other parts of the United States barred their police officers and other public agency workers from inquiring about immigration status. Montana, he told the committee, had to make sure it protected itself against that ever happening within its borders.
His measure, he said, would send a message a message to undocumented immigrants that they are not welcome in Montana.
"It creates a defense in wonderful Montana where they won't come here … all this does is to protect Montanans," he told the committee. His office did not return various attempts for comment from Fox News Latino.
Montana's small foreign-born population is mainly Latinos, though many Canadians have settled there too. The Latino population is about 28,565, or 3 percent of the total state population, according to the Pew Hispanic Center.
Howard's move runs counter to trends across the nation that have seen a softening by Republicans on illegal immigration, as well as less clamor at the state level to pass immigration laws.
It creates a defense in wonderful Montana where [undocumented immigrants] won't come here. That all this does is to protect Montanans.
In 2011, 30 state legislatures introduced more than 50 bills similar to that of Arizona, which, among other things, calls on police to check the immigration status of a person they have stopped for another reason and whom they suspect of being in the country unlawfully.
But in 2012, after court challenges blocked parts of many such laws, and as public support for these measures waned, only five states – Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Rhode Island and West Virginia – considered immigration bills.
None were enacted, according to the National Council of State Legislatures.
On the political front in recent years, many GOP leaders adopted a hard-line position on illegal immigration that was similar to the one embraced by Howard's in Montana. But after that approach – which dominated much of the Republican primary and debates – was blamed as a key reason for many Latinos walking away from the GOP, the party has softened its tone.
Many Republicans, including House Speaker John Boehner, Ohio Republican, have pledged to soften their positions since the Nov. 6 election, in which the vast majority (71 percent) of Latino voters chose President Obama over the GOP challenger, Mitt Romney.
Echoing many other Republicans, Boehner said he would consider proposals for comprehensive immigration reform, which would include tightened enforcement as well as a pathway to legalization for certain undocumented immigrants.
Some Republican leaders expressed dismay over Howard's proposal.
"It's amazing that after everything we went through, after our terrible performance with Latino voters in the election, that you would still have some Republicans who would be willing to present this type of legislation," said Alfonso Aguilar, executive director of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, a Washington, D.C.-based group.
"If it passes, it will not help the Republican Party."
"Republicans who are pro-immigrant have to come forward and condemn those laws," said Aguilar, a former Homeland Security Department official in the George W. Bush administration. "What killed us before was that Republicans who were pro-immigrant remained silent."
Proponents of strict immigration measures praised Howard's proposal.
"Rep. Howard's bill ensures common sense state-federal enforcement practices for those of us who believe in the rule of law and the restoration of an immigration law that works," said Dan Stein, director of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, based in Washington D.C. "Americans are tired of paying for the same old political games designed to reward, promote and encourage illegal immigration. We applaud his efforts."
Montana has taken on illegal immigration before; in November, voters approved a measure requiring proof of legal U.S. residency in order to receive public services. A measure similar to HB 50 cleared the state legislature two years ago, but former Gov. Brian Schweitzer vetoed it, calling it unnecessary in Montana.
Immigration advocacy groups in Montana say they are worried about Howard's latest proposal, given the approval that voters gave to the referendum measure in November.
"Montana does not have an immigration problem," said Shahid Haque-Hausrath, executive director of the Montana Immigrant Justice Alliance. "Montana is one of the states with the least number of immigrants – documented or undocumented."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Which moment from a comic this week caught your interest?
YOUR WINNER for 4/16/14:
"Except the diginity of knowing I never carried a man-purse." - Superior Spider-Man #31
This thread will contain SPOILERS!!! And lots of them. If you haven't read this week's comics yet, go read them before continuing into this thread, or risk being spoiled!
PLEASE NOTE!!!!!! ]Remember to include the title and issue number of the comic you are nominating. Otherwise I will be forced to disqualify your nomination, and nobody wants that!
The Rules:
1. Each nomination must be a moment in a comic released the week of the thread. This does not include weekly previews, trade paperbacks, or back issue digests. For new comics check out Midtown Comics release dates.
2. Everyone can make ONE nomination. You can either nominate a moment yourself or second/third/fourth/fifth an already existing nomination. However, second/third/fourth/fifth will not count per nominating and thus earn entry above in Top Nominations. You want in that list you must nominate something.
3. It must be an actual moment involving the actions or statements of a comic character in an issue. No "This writer returns to the series", "this artist draws this character", "the book is better", etc.
4. If you want to change your nomination, there are a few factors involved:
---> A) No one can have seconded your nom.
---> B) If it is clear for you to change your nom, you must edit your original post or the new post will be disqualified as being a double nomination.
---> C) You can change your second, third, etc. by editing your original post before the nomination period ends.
Moments on the poll do not have to be seconded. If there is room in the poll, moments that were nominated but not seconded will be added based on the order they were nominated.
6. Again, please be specific on the comic title, issue number and moment. Also be clear that you are actually nominating or seconding something ... statements such as "Yeah, that was a cool moment" aren't clear. You must nominate a single moment in the comic and can't nominate the whole issue. Once more, if you don't include the issue and number the moment will not be included.
7. The thread for nominations will go up on Wednesday (new comic day) at 11:00 PM (Central) or when Zechs arrives later that night and posts in the previous week thread announcing voting is closed. The nominations will go until 2:00 PM (Central Time) Sunday Afternoon, or whenever Zechs arrives and will post in the thread stating, "It's over." and will start the poll. If a new comic day falls on a holiday week in American, then the thread will be made for that day (be it Tuesday or Thursday). Regardless, nominations will STILL conclude on Saturday deadline.
8. Please be civil when commenting on other people's nominations. But feel free to discuss them in this thread.
9. In case there is debate on WHEN exactly a title came out, http://www.midtowncomics.com or the official websites of said publishers (be it Marvel, DC, Darkhorse, etc.) will be the final word on the quarrel.
10. Any nominations not following the above rules will be disqualified. Unless of course if Zechs, who is feeling sad for the person who missed the rule and might give them time to provide the correction. Then he will pester bk into putting the nomination in the poll. Of course this wouldn't be a problem if Zechs wasn't granted the glorious powers of a moderator, which one day such power will be Zechs, oh yes they will his.
11. If at five nominations are not made, Zechs will choose some, but they will all count as one nomination, not multiple thus making sure balance is preserved.
12. AKA the Rulk rule. If several moments are tied past the deadline of 11:00 PM (Central Time) Wednesday (or holiday date when new comics arrive in the US) or when Zechs arrives that night, then voting will continue on in sudden death for eight more hours, until one is decided. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.
If one isn't still decided, then Zechs will provide the deciding vote, regardless if he has voted already. So if that isn't enough reason to get a ton of votes on that additional day than you're just dooming yourself to give Zechs another vote.
13. AKA the Hobgoblin rule. Roderick Kingsley Hobgoblin moments when winning for three days straight automatically win the poll. No last day or second voting changes it to troll the ruler of this thread.
14. Any moments from Batgirl Volume 4 that win, Zechs will not post them, due to being anti-Batgirl v. 4. He hates. HE HATES that damn book on his principles of vols. 1 & 3 along with Birds of Prey vol. 1 & 2 that came before it and considers vol. 4 garbage and his woes for not buying a DC Comic ONE YEAR AND A HALF AND COUNTING.
Anyone who nominates any moment from that series, well you're just going to have to post the nomination thread WHENEVER that happens. We'll work out the details whenver they occur. As for Zechs, he will then just sit in the corner giving you the winner/nominator of the moment of Batgirl v. 4 the EVIL EYE the entire time. He really REALLY hates that comic. Really really hates it. Someone get this man help please.
If any moment from Batgirl v. 4 is in a tie, for more than a day, Zechs will turn the deciding vote over to DC's Frankenstein. For only a monster could truly decide if a book that monsterous deserves to win.
Only ONE can rule as the Moment of the Week!

Look! Shaker Organization in Hancock Village
Last week, we had the chance to visit Hancock Shaker Village in Massachusetts. Among the many instances of good design and beautifully crafted furniture, what stood out most was the sense that there was a place for everything and everything was in its place...
Peg rail is probably the most famous organizational tool, used to hang everything from chairs to yarn to hats, but we also saw lots of built-in storage, labeled cans and jars, and organized kitchen cabinets.
The Shakers loved to store things vertically, and they loved to use wall-mounted pieces. A few concepts we noticed (that were great ideas for small space living) included a wall-mounted desk that ingeniously saves space, folding towel racks, and drying racks.
1 Garden shed
2 Case of drawers and drying rack
3 Case of drawers and cupboards
4 Kitchen peg rail
5 Hanging pots and kitchen tools
6 Peg rail in the dining room
7 Yarn hanging on peg rail
8 An unusual instance of pegs without trim
9 Wall-mounted desk with chair hanging above
10 Bath station with wall-mounted mirror and folding towel rack

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Parma Company Refused to Hire Women as Cable Techs, Federal Agency Charged
CLEVELAND – Digital Cable and Communications South, Inc., a Parma, Ohio-based cable TV installation company, will pay $75,000 to settle a sex discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
In its lawsuit, the EEOC had charged that qualified females applied for available cable technician positions but were denied hire, despite their qualifications, while similarly or less qualified male applicants were hired.
Sex discrimination violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit, No. 1:09-cv-02035, in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement.
In addition to the monetary relief, the five-year consent decree settling the suit provides for proactive hiring and training of women for cable technician positions, training of all employees on employee rights and employer obligations under Title VII, as well as maintaining policies against sex discrimination, harassment and retaliation, and including promoting supervisor accountability.
"I am very pleased with the settlement as it provides relief to the harmed individuals and contains mechanisms to prevent this type of discrimination from recurring," said EEOC Regional Attorney Debra Lawrence. "Employers must be mindful that federal law forbids discrimination when it comes to any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment."
Digital Cable and Communications South, Inc. provide installation services to multi-system operators (cable companies) in the cable television industry.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

STEWART AIRPORT — Port Authority officials say their commitment to Stewart International Airport won't be diminished in any way should they take on another airport.
STEWART AIRPORT — Port Authority officials say their commitment to Stewart International Airport won't be diminished in any way should they take on another airport.
The agency's board of directors last week approved up to $3 million to study the possibility of running Atlantic City International Airport. At Tuesday's Stewart Airport Commission meeting, commission member Richard Gerentine asked if adding Atlantic City would help or hurt Stewart.
Ralph Tragale, Port Authority's assistant director of public affairs for aviation, said it would have no impact on Stewart as the two airports have different catchment areas. That's the industry term for the area from which an airport draws most of its passengers.
But Port Authority's announcement of the study said it was eyeing Atlantic City as a potential reliever for the congestion at its big three metro area airports — Kennedy, La Guardia and Newark Liberty.
When the agency acquired Stewart five years ago, it, too, was seen as a potential congestion reliever. However, no airline has shifted any regularly scheduled passenger service from one of the big three airports to Stewart.
Port Authority spokesman Pasquale DiFulco said the final decision on where to fly rests with the airlines. But he said Port Authority will continue to do all it can "to make (Stewart) as attractive as possible" to those airlines.
Port Authority estimates it will have spent $76 million on capital improvements to Stewart by the end of the year.
Port Authority expects the number of airline travelers to continue to increase, including those coming from north of New York City.
"If we can serve those passengers from Stewart rather than the big three, it's a win-win," DiFulco said.

Your beautiful email design is useless if no one sees it.
And if your campaigns rely exclusively on images to convey your message, there's a decent chance that a significant chunk of your audience sees a mostly blank slate when they open your message.
The fact is, there are a lot of email clients that block images by default. Email testing service Litmus has a good breakdown of the issue, but the short version is that the major providers of webmail (AOL, Gmail, Yahoo! and Outlook.com) and desktop versions of Outlook don't show images. Users either have to allow images for specific messages or allow them by default. Image blocking also applies to many business email accounts as more companies are switching to Google Apps to power their email.

Lohse limits damage to lead Brewers past Nats
WASHINGTON -- Refreshed, on the road, and with their savviest starting pitcher holding the ball, the Brewers were well-positioned to return from the All-Star break Friday to put a first-half fade behind them.
A 4-2 win over the Nationals was a solid start. Scooter Gennett and Khris Davis homered -- again -- off Washington ace Stephen Strasburg, and Kyle Lohse practiced damage control for seven innings to match Wily Peralta's team-best 10th victory.View Full Game Coverage
WASHINGTON -- Refreshed, on the road, and with their savviest starting pitcher holding the ball, the Brewers were well-positioned to return from the All-Star break Friday to put a first-half fade behind them.
A 4-2 win over the Nationals was a solid start. Scooter Gennett and Khris Davis homered -- again -- off Washington ace Stephen Strasburg, and Kyle Lohse practiced damage control for seven innings to match Wily Peralta's team-best 10th victory.View Full Game Coverage
"That," Lohse said with a sigh, "was survival."
The Brewers' 29th win on the road matched the A's and Dodgers for most in the Major Leagues.
The Brewers enjoyed another day in first place in the National League Central, where they have resided alone or with company each of the last 111 days. Lohse made most of his pitches from the stretch. He surrendered a hit to the leadoff man in five of his seven innings and at least one hit in all seven innings, but the Nationals touched him for only one run on 10 hits in that span. Lohse walked no batters and struck out three in the sort of bend-but-don't-break outing reserved previously this season for Phillies left-hander Cliff Lee. Before Friday, Lee was the only pitcher this season to surrender 10 or more hits, but one or zero runs. Lee has done it twice.
The only other Brewers pitcher to do it in the past 21 years was Ben Sheets, who allowed 11 Pirates hits but only one run in a complete-game victory in May 2008.
Over the past 10 seasons, that "feat" had been accomplished only 39 times during the regular season in all of Major League Baseball. Lohse made No. 40.
"I think it was five of the seven innings they led off with a hit," said Lohse, whose count was accurate. "I was thinking of starting off innings out of the stretch, but I didn't want everyone to know I was aware of it."
Washington's only run against him scored in the fourth inning, when Ryan Zimmerman and Ian Desmond each doubled. Two innings earlier, the Nationals were similarly well-positioned, with runners at first and second with one out, but Lohse induced one of his two double plays.
"It almost seems like when guys get on base, he gets even tougher," said Nationals center fielder Denard Span, who singled three times against Lohse. "That's what makes him such a good pitcher."
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke trusted Lohse with the seventh inning in part because one key reliever -- left-hander Will Smith -- was unavailable due to pregame back spasms. So Lohse worked a scoreless final frame, Rob Wooten and Zach Duke combined for the eighth inning and Francisco Rodriguez rebounded from Bryce Harper's leadoff home run in the ninth to log his 28th save.
Asked whether this win brought particular satisfaction because of its toll, Lohse said, "Tomorrow, after I recover. It was pretty stressful. That's what pitching is about though. When you don't have your best stuff, you still have to make pitches."
"I thought he threw well, but there were runners on every inning," Roenicke said. "It was just a battle for him. Some of the pitches I saw [hit] were good pitches."
Gennett provided Lohse an early lead when he connected with Strasburg's fourth pitch of the evening, and first off-speed pitch, for a one-out solo home run. Davis hit one of his own with one out in the second inning.
That young Brewers duo had gotten to Strasburg before. On June 25 at Miller Park, the only other start this season in which Strasburg had surrendered multiple home runs, Gennett hit his first career grand slam and Davis delivered a solo shot on the way to a 9-2 Brewers win.
"A guy like him, with his stuff, how he can just keep pumping in 96, 97 [mph], it's always nice to get ahead early and try to tack on some more," Gennett said. "I don't hit too many home runs. I don't know if it's coincidence or if I see the ball good off of him, but he's got really good stuff. I think it's somewhat of a coincidence."
The Brewers added insurance against Strasburg in the third inning, when Gennett worked a two-out walk and moved to third base on Ryan Braun's double. When Aramis Ramirez's single fell in front of Nationals right fielder Jayson Werth, the Brewers' lead was extended to 4-0.
Including their romp of the Cardinals in the first-half finale, the Brewers have won two games in a row after losing 11 of the previous 13.
