VBAC = Vaginal Birth After Cesarean
Like just about everyone, my journey to a VBAC really started with my first birth. I won't do the whole big saga here but suffice to say, it was a long, drawn out event that involved the whole "cascade of intervention". It also involved a failed epidural after they talked me into having one as I was so slow to progress, an infection, an awful midwife and a c-section under a general anaesthetic which means I was sleeping for the birth of my very first child.
Emotionally it took me a long time to recover from that. I had a mild to medium case of PND while learning how to be a mum to my new baby and then once I'd finally settled into that I started to really think about what it must have been like for my poor baby to arrive in the world with the only person he knew nowhere to be found. It got to the point where I couldn't even talk about his birth without tearing up.
Fast forward a few years and I am pregnant with number 2 baby, our much longed for rainbow and infertility success baby, and all I really know is that I don't want to abandon her on the day she is born by being asleep for the first few hours of her life. But having a VBAC is easier said than done for some women. Some doctors seem really afraid of them and push women into a RCS (repeat c-section) at every opportunity and I find that really sad.
Ingredients for success
Fortunately for me I had an amazing OB which is actually a bit of an aberration in Australia. Statistics tell us that you are more likely to have a successful VBAC in a midwife led program but I did my research around town and happened to get lucky and pick a good one. I was packing a pretty big baby on board too – she was 4.5kg at birth – and many OBs will balk at a VBAC delivery with a baby that size but my OB never did, he never told me I couldn't, so I am lucky in that I never had to fight the way some women do.
This was just one ingredient towards my success though. I had to build the perfect environment both within me and external to me to get me over the line, and even on the day during my labour I wanted to quit. But that's where having a wonderful support team saved me. So build that support. I had my partner and a doula and both were truly instrumental to getting me through.
Throughout the pregnancy I watched YouTube clip after YouTube clip of VBAC labours and births, I read countless birth stories, I read active labouring birth books, hippy birth books, I imagined my birth over and over and over, I made a birthing board full of positive quotes that I stared at daily and took to the hospital with me when it was time, I joined an amazing VBAC Facebook group and I researched and researched to know my position on every possible variable that could occur.
It came as such a surprise to me that there are a large number of doctors out there advocating for the "easy option" of a RCS for no reason at all and without giving their patients the risks of a CS. They present it as if it is risk free and we know that is not true. How can it be? It is major surgery.
Anyway, here in this space I am going to share the research that helped me. And if any of the wonderful women of the web will allow it I will share their birth stories here too complete with their experience with medical staff throughout the pregnancies.
It is such a tough line. No-one wants to put themselves of their baby at risk but sometimes a great risk is presented when perhaps there isn't one simply because of doctor preference and that really isn't fair. The only way we can combat this is with the education of women everywhere.
Your body, your birth. Be informed.

IoT labelling and certification in the report on European standards
06 July 2017
During last plenary week, an
own-initiative report on European Standards for the 21st century
was adopted by the European Parliament. Own-initiative reports are non-binding texts meant to send a political message. This report underlines that common standards are particularly important for the development of the Internet of Things (IoT), as the fragmentation of standards hinders growth in this sector.
Through this report, the European Parliament took a stance in favour of security-by-design and privacy-by-design principles in order to adequately face cyberthreats. It also supports the Commission's project to create an IoT label and certification system. However, the Parliament highlights that IoT labelling and certification should be developed "where relevant and where IoT devices could have an impact on relevant infrastructure on the basis of the requirements spelled out in the NIS Directive".
The report will feed into the upcoming Commission's 2018 work programme, which will be adopted this month.

July 1st was originally referred to as Dominion Day because back then Canada was officially known as the Dominion of Canada.The Dominion of Canada, known today as Canada, was made up of four colonies: Upper Canada (Ontario), Lower Canada (Quebec), Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick.Opposite of America's process of freedom from Great Britain, the Canadian provinces requested independence from Queen Victoria and she agreed.The British North American Act, which declared the independence of the Dominion of Canada, functioned as the nation's constitution until the 1980s."O Canada" wasn't Canada's national anthem until July 1st 1980, 100 years after it was first sung on June 24, 1880. See the full lyrics blow. O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, We stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Find your dream home in our homes database, from cheap to expensive, it doesn't matter we have it.
Sean is a born and raised Hamiltonian, living in the west Hamilton suburb of Dundas with his family.
Before joining Ambitious Realty Advisors as a Sales Representative in January of 2017, Sean attended Laurier University where he graduated with an Honours Degree in Physical Education and Science. Sean then attended Brock University for Teacher's College and earned his Teaching Degree. Sean has been teaching at the high school level for the last 20 years.
Sean was introduced to the world of Real Estate when he purchased his first home in 1997. Since that time, Sean has acquired multiple properties for personal and income use. Sean fondly remembers each of these purchases as being the most exciting and important purchases of his life, and his long-held desire to help others as they embarked on their own real estate adventures.
Sean has built his business on a strong foundation of trust and relationship-based selling, and ensures that his client always comes first. Sean's seven years of industry experience working as a Sales Representative have taught him that his previous clients are his advertisers. In his own words, "My previous clients are the ones that let others know that I'm in the business for them and not just for the quick sale or purchase; that I really do care about the relationships, and that I'm always just a call, text, or email away if questions arise." Today, Sean works closely with first time buyers and investors, sharing his own personal successes and failures in real estate so that his clients are well informed about their purchases and set up for success.
In his spare time, Sean coaches in the Greater Hamilton community. Over the past 20 years, Sean has easily coached over 40 local teams! Sean has coached boys and girls volleyball at the high school level since 1996, and has coached community basketball and soccer teams for younger athletes. Sean also enjoys playing the guitar, working on his home, and keeping active. Hockey, curling, cycling, and workingout at the gym are still important and regular parts of Sean's busy life.

It's pear season! A friend down the road has a pear tree with an abundant supply and I have gone pear crazy.
I decided to start with Pear Butter. If it works with apples why not pears. I found some recipes and adapted them into a Red Wine Pear Butter that is delicious. If you like pears poached in red wine you will love this.
5 lbs of pears
(cut into 2 in pieces, if using a food mill it is not necessary to core them,
if not using a food mill I suggest coring)
1 cup red wine
2 cups water
4 slices of orange
4 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 vanilla bean split
1/2 Tsp cardemon
1 & 1/2 cup of sugar
Dash of salt
1. Place cut pears, wine and water into a large pot and bring to a boil.
2. Once boiling reduce heat to medium/low and let cook until pears are soft
(the average for me was about 1 hour. The softer the pears the easier to put through the mill or sieve)
3. Once pears are cooked press through the food mill or push through a sieve.
Discard any hard parts left from the pears
4. Return pear puree to large pot and add remaining ingredients.
5. Bring to a boil.
6. Once boiling reduce heat to low/simmer for 1 to 2 hours depending on batch.
7. You can test your mixture to see if it is done by placing a small amount on a chilled plate.
There should me not liquid on around the edges.
8. If canning place finished mixture into sterilized jars and place in a water bath.
Leave in water bath 10 mins then remove and let cool completely before storing.
Hope you enjoy!

European H2020 project Fame launches first urban-scale 5G testbed for future open media internet trials
Via InterDigital
Feb 26, 2018
InterDigital Platform Deployed in Bristol, Barcelona; Twelve-Company Consortium Representing Six Countries Seek to Transform 5G User Experience
Company Release - 2/26/2018 2:30 AM ET
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2018 -- InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile technology research and development company, today announced that the European H2020 project, FLAME, has launched its 5G testbed for urban scale trials of future open media internet services across European cities. The 5G testbed will enable the first consumer-focused, real-life trial of 5G technologies to transform user experience by faster access to media and new services.
"The FLAME project offers groundbreaking and unique technologies setting this 5G testbed apart from all that have come before it," said Dirk Trossen, FLAME's Technical Manager and Senior Principal Engineer at InterDigital. "We're honored to be a part of the first real-life insights into the transformation of 5G media delivery and the enablement of new media services for smart cities. The launch of the urban-scale testbed is truly a milestone for the advancement of 5G."
The future media internet trials will utilize the FLAME Service Delivery platform, with a Next Generation Network Flexible IP-based Services (FLIPS) platform at its heart. Developed by InterDigital, the Next Generation Network FLIPS platform is modeled after prototype efforts from two other H2020 collaborative research and development projects, POINT ("iP Over IcN - the betTer IP") and RIFE (aRchitecture for an Internet For Everybody). The FLIPS platform optimizes the delivery of service requests on top of emerging programmable infrastructures, while providing the desired quantitative and qualitative benefits (such as in terms of low latency, much higher bandwidth, lower costs, improved security) for novel 5G services.
The FLAME project initially launches in the smart cities of Bristol and Barcelona with plans to expand to cities across Europe through a EUR 2 million program of open calls. The program will allow players from the creative industries, telecommunications industries and smart cities to run 5G trials at urban-scale that improve experience for consumers, reduce the complexity of media service development and reduce the cost of delivering personalized on-demand content.
The FLAME project is led by a consortium of twelve partners including University of Southampton, InterDigital Europe, Atos Spain, i2CAT, University of Bristol, Nextworks, Martel Innovate, VRT, The Walt Disney Company, ETH Zurich, Institut Municipal d'Informatica de Barcelona, and Bristol is Open. The partners have complementary competences and demonstrated capability to provide a solid contribution to the implementation of all aspects of this research and innovation action.
Attendees of Mobile World Congress can see the platform and learn more at InterDigital's pavilion in Hall 7, Stand 7C61 .

Beginner videos for Affinity photo
mikep posted a topic in Tutorials (Serif and Customer Created Tutorials)I know I will probably be castigated for my comments, but I am getting more and more frustrated by the lack of good quality videos for beginners. Yes there are 100's of videos but these just show how to use one particular tool. I am a landscape photographer (low grade amateur ), and I really can't find any worth while videos. I have searched youtube, vimeo and can't find any real full length videos that take you through a complete workflow. Yes I have bought a video by 'Drippy cat" but to be honest I did not find it that good, sorry. I am a subscriber to photoshop/Lightroom, but want to get rid of my monthly subscription. I bought Affinity photo about 18 months ago and I think its great. Its just a pity that someone like Anthony Morganti, or one of the 100's of subscribers on youtube have not taken up the program. This worry me as we believe that Affinity photo is a real competitor to photoshop. I know Affinity photo has only been going for a short time compared to photoshop, but I really think its about time Affinity tried to get more of the very good trainers out there to start making videos. I am sure I will be very unpopular with this post, but I believe there are many other beginners who are struggling with Affinity photo. Sure I will get there in the end, but more comprehensive videos would really help to shorten the process. Regards Mikep

In-depth reviews of AD? Patch Notes, Updates etc.
BrianHermelijn posted a topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)Greetings, Since I now have a microphone, I have been thinking maybe I can start video series where I go in-depth of the features within Affinity Design, Patch Notese, Updates, what's new etc. that way it will also allow me to learn more about the software, and also someone else can get information of what the software is, and what you can do with it. What do you guys think? I don't think I have seen any youtubers (Designers / Artists ) doing in-depth reviews of the softwares on a constant basis, definitely will take a lot of time, but I think its well worth it, since you're helping peoples along the way. Or do you feel just the Vimeo of Affinity is sufficient in scenario like this? Feel free to share your thoughts.
Affinity Tutorials & More
Pedro Soares posted a topic in Tutorials (Serif and Customer Created Tutorials)Please scroll down to the end of this post to see the latest added tutorials. Thanks. Hello Everyone, In the last couple of weeks I shared in the Forum different topics related to video tutorials I upload to my YouTube channel. To make it more practical, I'm gonna share them and new ones in just this topic. Feel free to scroll down and find all the videos I already uploaded. If you want to know a bit more about me and what to expect, then keep reading. Photography (and design) is part of my life for more than twenty years. I began working in the advertising industry in the 90's and from there I covered many different areas from the creative process to production. Today I mainly do portrait photography, fine art, special assignments and some design projects. In the last years and as a certified trainer, I began to share what I've learned and continue to learn in workshops. I mainly cover Portrait Photography, Black & White, Digital Workflow and Retouching. For the love of sharing my passion about photography, I decided to start making video tutorials and this is the reason I end up here. The amazing software the Affinity Team made gave me the enthusiasm we normally have when we get a new toy. For me it's been a fantastic experience and discovery of new ways of doing the same things in a different, and many times better, way. And this experience is what I want to share with you. This is also the reason I'm going to cover more the Affinity apps in a photography scenario. But you can expect more, a lot more... I'll also be covering photographic tips and techniques and other software that I find relevant to my/our work. This is the case of Capture One Pro that will have also a special feature. Apart from this I'm also preparing some "extras" but that's for another time What to keep in mind: Every time I make a tutorial where I create a special resource, like a macro, a brush, a style, etc. I'll share it for free. You just need to follow the video tutorial or blog post to see the download links. Some tutorials also have a related post in my blog with more details. You can check it here: (available in Portuguese and English): http://blog.pedrosoares.photo/ The tutorials are made in Portuguese but they have English subtitles. Nevertheless I make them in a very easy to follow pace. For that reason they are suitable for both beginners and advanced users. The list I have for upcoming tutorials is long but if you have a specific topic you would like to be covered just let me know. You never know if your request is my next tutorial. This was the case of the Glow Effect video. I'm going to share them chronological so the new ones will be in the end of this topic. Finally my idea is to share tutorials on a regular basis so feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel to be the first one to know about it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxdrAaW4Zr9lYktQmt5O4VA You can also subscribe to my Blog where you can find other topics: http://blog.pedrosoares.photo/ Sorry if I made this introduction to long, but it was important for me to share this. I hope you'll find each tutorial a useful resource and also a source of inspiration.

Videos, problems
Razzle posted a topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)Congratulations on your great new photo app, which seems most impressive. I today purchased it from the App Store and would like to become familiar with the details of how to better use it. I found your videos on Vimeo, which is awkward compared to Youtube, and have a problem with how they get cropped on my TV. I was surprised to see your screens on Vimeo losing the edges with the tool bars on a new large Samsung. I have a very advanced TV that doesn't crop anything and works with a wide range of sources. I routinely watch similar videos on Youtube. I also use Airplay to transfer and watch videos without problems. Whatever the problem with your videos, it doesn't relate to the TV. I wonder if there is some practical or commercial reason why they are just not uploaded to Youtube? I notice they will view on an iPad without cropping, in an oddly elongated format, but that is less convenient for watching an hour or so at a time. Apart from the cropping, I was wondering if somewhere you have a list with recommended viewing order of the various features being explained individually. I assume it's best to start with the RAW developer, but any pointers? It's a pity to have to begin here like this, but as a new user this is my first experience of your app. I can see it's impressive, so it would be great not to have hassles with something as basic as the videos.

This week, Academy Award-winning actress Mo'Nique took the stage with other dynamic women to talk to Spelman College's students about obesity and its health-related issues. The event, "The Best Advice I Ever Got: Conversations With Wise Women," is part of Spelman's push to better the health of its Black women on campus.
Mo'Nique talked about how for years she embraced her large size, believing it was an act of resistance against a culture that tells women that skinnier is better and fat shames those who don't fit into that mold. She also talked about how Black women are encouraged to be thick in our community. But on stage, she told the crowd that her husband made her realize the reality — she weighed too much. The Washington Post wrote:
When her husband asked her weight, she told him, "proudly, as sexy as I could, '262 pounds.' " When her husband responded, "That's too much," Mo'Nique was dumbstruck. Until he added, "I want you for a lifetime."
No loved one had ever told her, "That's too much weight." Deeply moved, Mo'Nique reflected on all she secretly carried that was "too much": too much depression, too much anger, too much shifting the "poison" of her rage onto others. Her "best advice" to Spelman students: Shush the "fraudulent" inner voice that suggests you settle for less. "Will yourself to win."
Since that day, Mo'Nique embarked on a fitness journey and lost a total of 70 pounds with the help of regular workouts with her trainer, cutting out junk food and eating healthier. And these are exactly the types of messages that Spelman wants for its students to hear.
Last November, BET.com reported that the college nixed their sports program to use their $1 million athletic budget for the "Wellness Revolution," an initiative that will focus solely on the health of all of their students. The new program was prompted by Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum, Spelman's president, who was concerned with the state of the health of not only her current students, but also those who have already graduated.
Tatum's concerns are not unwarranted: African-American women have the highest rates of being overweight or obese compared to other groups in the U.S, according to the Office of Minority Health. Seventy-five percent are obese or overweight and 25 percent of African-American women older than 55 have diabetes. And according to the Washington Post, more than half of Spelman's students are obese, suffer from high blood pressure or are diabetic. Perhaps Spelman can spark a fitness revolution among all of our HBCUs.

I was so happy to hear her voice, I started crying, but took slow, shallow breaths so she couldn't tell over the phone. She didn't ask me any questions, so I wasn't sure if she really wanted to know anything about my life since I got married and everything, but I told her anyway. I told her where I work and what job I have, because it has always been important to her that I have a career. I told her that I'm going back to school in the fall, because she always wanted me to continue my education. I told her that I have a red sofa and that sometimes I cook, but Noah usually cooks for our guests because I'm not very confident yet. I told her that she could visit any time, and that I would love to have her. I told her that Southwest and Jet Blue have really great prices on flights, and would she ever want to come down? I know she hates the cold, and it is very warm here. The beach is very close and she would like it.
She said: "I actually didn't know it was you calling."
Me: "I have the same number…"
"I just heard the ring. You and Bianca have the same ring."
"Would you not have picked up otherwise?"
"Have I before?"
The answer is no; she's been ignoring all my calls for the past 11 months.
I had been so happy to hear her voice, I started crying again, the kind where you stay very still and don't move except for taking deep breaths that are hard to control and the tears cloud your vision and you just sit there, all alone on your red sofa, missing your mom.

HIPS combines the features of antivirus, network firewalls, and host-based application firewalls. • HIPS can be implemented on critical systems anywhere on the network (not just the perimeter). Cisco provides the Cisco Security Agent (CSA) as its HIPS solution. CSA includes the following components: • Management Center for Cisco Security Agent (CSA MC) CSA MC provides centralized management of CSA agents. The CSA MC can maintain a log of security violations and send alerts through e-mail or via a pager.
The emergence of the Internet and e-business has made this challenge more difficult. E-business demands stronger relationships with suppliers, partners, and customers, and often requires companies to provide access to their systems and critical information over the Internet. Security within the system is important for the following reasons: • Digital data exchange among organizations is crucial to an economy. These processes must be protected. • Private data often travels via insecure networks, and precautions must be taken to prevent it from being corrupted or changed.

Liver 3 Taichong is one of the greatest acupuncture points. Every serious acupuncturist needs to know how and when to use it. It lies on the Liver acupuncture channel. On that channel it is the ...
Because of how it works in practice, and because its name contains 'chong', it strongly affects the Chong mo vessel.
By the way, if you are more interested in what this important organ does in terms of Western medicine, click Liver.
On the dorsum surface of the foot, in the angle between the first and second metatarsal bones.
Needle it vertically or slightly towards Kidney 1. There is often a large pulse near the point.
Depth 1.5 - 2 cun.
Moxa: 3 cones
Stimulus is often felt up to the ankle and down to the toes.
This point has many uses, not least in bringing excess down from the head, in steadying, calming and reducing pain, and in harmonising problems in the abdomen.
As you'll see from the following, this point can be used in many situations. It can be both a strengthening and a smoothing or draining point. For instance,
So, use it for Liver syndromes or channel conditions, eg...
Liver 3 Taichong is one of the points that you can think of as a 're-set' button. If you have an electric kettle, you may be familiar with this button, which jumps out, stopping the kettle from working, if you allow it to overheat - such as by turning it on with no water in it.
Ideally it calms you down for long enough to take stock and live your life more calmly, taking better decisions because you perceive your situation more clearly.
It works on both Liver Qi and Blood, and on the Gallbladder.
Its connection with the Chong mo vessel makes it a major point for Chong mo vessel problems.
I often use this point if a patient is new to acupuncture and anxious about treatment, or anxious about their health and not sure that acupuncture will make any difference.
After such a treatment, they feel calmer, steadier, a little 'spaced' out sometimes, but usually able to view their situation more objectively.
Of course, it will almost certainly have eased any pains they have, especially if combined with other points like Hegu Large intestine 4.

Here are some of the books I (Jonathan) have written.

Qi Stagnation - Signs of Stress
Yin Deficiency - Burnout and Exhaustion
Yang Deficiency - Get Your Fire Burning Again!
Yuck! Phlegm! How to Clear Your Phlegm ...
Western Astrology and Chinese Medicine
Published 1986 and, amazingly, still selling. Western Astrology and Chinese Medicine was apparently used back then by at least one acupuncture college to help students understand Chinese medicine! See Reviews.
Seven Reviews so far for Yuck Phlegm. (Despite the lurid cover, it explains the five main types of phlegm and what works best for each type. I hope it's easy to read and will be much more useful than all the websites on the subject.)
3000 years of Chinese being stressed, and at last, here's a book showing how all that experience can help you!
By the author of this website, it explains in simple English how to use stress to improve and enhance your life.

Projects : Podium
Alexan Lofts
Houston, TX
The Alexan Lofts were creatively converted from six historic brick, timber and concrete warehouses built between 1880 and 1920, into a unique 21 st century residential community of 244 loft-styled apartment units.
To develop Alexan Lofts in the spirit of its heritage, HLR focused the design strategy on preserving the architectural integrity of this extraordinary property. By re-using the original warehouse buildings, the Alexan Lofts were created to showcase 16-foot ceilings, original masonry wall construction, historic wooden floors and massive heavy timber beams harvested from hundred-year-old Texas Heartwood Pines.
The Alexan Lofts project was honored by placement on the National Register and received an official Texas Historical Marker from the Texas Historical Commission.

My observation and revelation...even if we don't flip the calendar to the new month or write out the new months things-to-do, time moves forward. We, and our lives, are similar to the calendar. Clocks keep ticking and time continues to move forward and will do so long after we leave this ball we call earth.
Why is this truth and realization so important? For me, it stopped me to ask myself, "why" haven't I flipped the calendar and written out the June events on the door? Is there a reason I have avoided it? Am I just split in too many directions to realize it hadn't been done? Is there a subconscious reason for not doing it?
Who knew have a blank calendar and a last month calendar showing could trigger so much insight and thought. How about you, have you thought about the time continuum and our attempts to stop time when it isn't a feasible option? I don't know...this is my random thought for the day, I'd love to hear from you.

Also magnetized the Carnifex, but will probably rework the mount points a bit. I'm not happy with the posing options.
|Talons and Claws want to be way up..
|or way down.
|No real in between. Just the way it works unless you go back and rework.
Bad pic of Kharn. Not too worried about pics, as Matt G is "Da Man", and offered to take some Month Two Pics :-)
His pictures make my figs look better than they really are. (unlike my pic above, which makes em' look worse)

Dc is run by idiots
at least their not marvel
Did you at one point imply that you don't mind Captain America being a Hydra agent? O.O Please explain. O.O
From what I've seen in interviews, Doctor Manhattan is the antagonist (Not full Villain, according to the same interviews) is meant to represent the misrepresentation of Watchmen. IE, People see Watchmen and copy it without full understanding of it's themes, only taking the most superficial elements of darkness and grit and saying that is how to make good comics
Fellow reader of Giant Days here. Follow it everyone; the Boom Box has a terrific playlist of comics, and Giant Days is second only to the unconquerable Lumberjanes. Look up Jonesy, Goldie Vance and the now-finished Midas Flesh while you're at it; you won't regret it.
I kinda of thought that the reason that Barry was able to save Wally was because he was still tied to the events of Flashpoint.
The comics industry is due for a major bust akin to the late 90s. Movies and TV understand and portray these characters so much better (BVS the exception) that it will become unecessary to even read comics. Comics dont appeal to kids, they are not cool and their primary demo(men 30-40) are getting pretty fed up with this shit. In short, they better figure this shit out and fast.
The last DC comic I bought was the Blackest Night compilation. I can't believe they even ended that on a stupid to be continued in an attempt to try to make us buy the next issue instead of giving it a proper ending.
I don't see a problem to their event taking a couple of years; making storylines last is a thing they need to do in comicbooks. 🙂
confesion time: as a longtime fan of John Allison I think Giant days is one of his weakest works to date… still I am buying it because weak as it is comparison to his others works it is still a stronger comic that most of DC outpout lately…
what i dont undersatnd is why the need to "explain" in universe the change in tone? Why does this need an explanation? Just change the tone and direction..we dont need a stupid event to explain it
I was always a bigger fan of Wally West than Barry Allen as well, Wally always seemed to have way more of a personality than Barry, & since the Flash is a legacy superhero, I don't see the point of going backwards, that would be like the Doctor regressing back to a previous regeneration. I also don't think it makes sense that Linda, the woman who loves Wally more than anyone else in the multiverse, wouldn't be able to remember him & bring him back while Barry does, I mean really? Wally's uncle loves him more than his own WIFE?! Not trying to sell their friendship short mind you, but still, that's a bit hard to accept.
I'm glad Wally's back though 😀
