EXCLUSIVE: Deadpool Dons the Venom Symbiote in "Back In Black" #1 First Look
Comic Books
When I put up the first column about Lincoln City, the consensus response both at home and in print was that we'd missed all the good stuff.
That had a simple solution– go again.
Twice, actually. We went down to Lincoln City in April for a weekend to clear our heads and take a break after the craziness of the Emerald City Comics Convention, and by the time you read this Julie and I will have just returned from our annual anniversary road trip… again to the Oregon Coast, this time to Newport. Just a few miles south of Lincoln City.
Over the next few weeks I'll be combining both excursions into a big ol' sprawling bookscouting exploration road trip series of columns. I'm not going to get into a whole thing about which place we visited on which trip… for the most part we tried not to go anyplace twice, and in any case it would just be dull to recount the minor differences between visits for the places we did return to.
So instead, I'm breaking it out by geography, just telling you what we found and where we found it. Overall, between the two expeditions, we came across enough interesting old books and comics in strange places for at least three columns… or maybe four. We'll see.
Our trip to Oceanside last year had taught us that the distance from our home to Lincoln City is really too far to do in one day– at least, too far for the way we like to do it, which is avoiding the interstates as much as possible. So we arranged to spend the first night in Seaside.
For us, that of course meant a night at the Hillcrest Inn.
They were pleased to see us– it's nice to be treated like 'regulars' even if we're only there once every year and a half– and if you ever need a place to stay, well, it's still the best deal in Seaside.
This trip was more about Lincoln City and exploring the coast further south, but that didn't mean we weren't open to stopping on the way, and certainly we weren't going to miss our regular stops in Seaside. We found some time to go check out Buck's Book Barn, which is exactly what it sounds like.
I didn't turn up anything there for myself, though Julie found a textbook she had been wanting for her classes.
I always have better luck next door anyway, at Seaside Antiques.
Usually it's with old pulps and comics, but where I hit paydirt that day was the Whitmans. One of the short-list items I always have an eye out for are the Whitman Authorized Editions, which were a series of juvenile hardcovers starring various licensed characters from television, movies, and comic strips. (Similar to the Big Little Books, but these were normal-sized.) That day I found one for Wagon Train, from 1959– in amazingly good shape, and she only wanted eight dollars for it.
The other find was Gun King of Melted Rocks by Randolph Hale, a hardcover western adventure from 1941. I can't tell you much about it other than that I enjoyed it– it was just one of hundreds of western novels that appeared back then. Apparently, Mr. Hale only authored one other novel, The Prodigal Bandit in 1940. These wartime-edition hardcovers usually didn't spotlight author bios in the back as is customary today, but instead used the jacket flap and back cover for house ads pushing other books from the same imprint. So Mr. Hale remains a mystery. And the internet's been no help. (There was a theatrical producer by that name, which muddies the waters a bit. Pretty sure it's not the same guy, but I could be wrong.) Whoever he was, Randolph Hale knew how to get it done; this was a fun book and I will have an eye out for the other one.
And that was mostly it for us and Seaside. I should add, since I have left it out of previous accounts, that we always make it a point to stop at the aptly-named Pig 'N' Pancake when we're in town.
I mention this mostly because I know comics fans love their junk food, and though we are usually pretty good about our diet we never can resist the siren song of the Pig when we're driving through. They know how to do serious breakfast there and we always find time for one stop, at least.
Considering the amazing variety and weirdness of the junk foods available in Seaside, though, in fairness I think that confining our gluttony to one sinful breakfast at the Pig 'N' Pancake is evidence of really extraordinary restraint.
The Pig's gift shop is full of kitschy awesome as well… this time we found a CD of Latin jazz arrangements of old nightclub standards. That amused us in the car all the rest of the way down the coast.
Just south of Seaside we found a thrift store that we'd never checked out, and decided to stop and take a look. We were instantly charmed by two young ladies who had a table set up selling fifty-cent cups of lemonade in the lobby.
What we had found was the thrift outlet for Helping Hands, a nonprofit shelter and rehab organization helping homeless people in the area get their act together. Julie noodled around the back while I asked the two fellows in the vestibule who seemed to be more or less in charge of the place what the organization was about. They were happy to tell me all about it.
Helping Hands is different from other shelter organizations and treatment centers because it's not terribly structured. They have lots of schooling opportunities, job placement partnerships and so on, but they try to get their clients to do things on their own. One of those things is working shifts at the thrift shop, and the good humor I saw from these two fellows told me they were getting something out of it. I'd had some experience in that area myself, years ago. It's a little thing, but there is enormous rebuilding that happens when someone puts you to work after you have felt useless for a long time. Even if it's something as simple and menial as sorting and stacking stuff in a junk shop, it still is an improvement over nothing.
Apparently the area has been especially hard hit lately because a lot of the fishing had shut down for the season, due to debris from the Japanese tsunami disaster floating around in the waters off the Oregon coast. No fishing means there are suddenly a whole lot of people out of work, and most of them with not very many other marketable skills. I'd read about a hunk of dock washing up on Newport beach, but I was surprised at the idea of fishing just completely shutting down and said so.
"Can't risk snagging or tearing the nets," the older of the two told me. "A commercial fishing net runs about fifty thousand dollars."
So Julie and I both wanted to be supportive of the efforts of Helping Hands and were determined to buy something.
The trouble was, we didn't really see anything we wanted. There was a small bookshelf out front but it was a little too beat up for us, especially since it'd take up almost the entire back seat and we still had most of our trip in front of us. Books, themselves, were a bit thin on the ground– Helping Hands is much more about the restored furniture, dishes, and kitchen knick-knacks– but I did turn up one interesting little piece.
The Girl with a Talent, by Mary Hampden. This was a British novel published by the Religious Tract Society of London, the inspirational tale of one Dot and her Pollyanna-esque efforts to achieve justice for the poor and find love for herself. It was part of the Society's "Girls Series," which also featured the titles Stella's Pathway, Miss Nettie's Girls, A Young Oxford Maid, and Mermaidens: A Sea Story for Girls.
I'll be honest– as novels go, this is not a terribly brilliant or exciting one. Young Dot is kind of insufferable.
But part of bookscouting is appreciating books as artifacts, and this one is lovely. You can tell by looking that it's a full-on letterpress piece– which is to say, it was printed with actual lead type and engraved illustration plates, hand-sewn bindery, the whole thing. These techniques are all relegated to crafting classes today but they used to be industry standard.
The copyright on this is 1898, but I am pretty sure this is a later edition– a little internet research has turned up, variously, third, fourth, and fifth editions, it was in print through at least 1924. I'm going to say this is probably the second or third edition, based on the 1906 inscription and the fact that it's bound in green cloth with gold foiling on the spine… later editions apparently used black or blue cloth. Still in great shape after at least a century.
The Helping Hands folks wanted five dollars for it. We gave them twenty and told them to put the rest in the shelter kitty. I looked it up upon getting home and found that it's moving in the ten or twelve-dollar range. Not really a score and I daresay the folks trying to sell theirs online have had the book listed for months or years. But I still like it.
Anyway, Helping Hands is a nice place and a good cause, so we considered it money well spent. If you go by there– it's right on the coast highway, 101, just south of Seaside– it's worth a stop. Though it's not much for books there's a lot of great old wooden furniture. Tell them the book guy sent you. And be sure to try the lemonade.
The next stop for us was Rockaway Beach.
Just a few minutes at the Hope Chest thrift shop there; this was another place that was not particularly bookish, there was only a tiny book section in the back. But it did yield a couple of minor scores.
Vampire Stories was not in any way rare or collectible, but it had a bunch of good stuff in there that, amazingly, did not duplicate any of the stories in the other vampire collections I have here, not even the Mammoth Book of Vampire Stories. Plus the introduction was written by Peter Cushing, which made it worth having just for that alone.
Mildred Wirt's The Painted Shield was just because I have a soft spot for vintage juvenile mysteries, especially the ones nobody's ever heard of, and anyway it was a lovely hardcover from the 1950s for seventy-five cents. Turns out Mildred Wirt Benson was one of the Stratemeyer Syndicate's early workhorse writers and authored many of the early Nancy Drew and Dana Girls mysteries. Sadly, this wasn't the 1939 first edition of The Painted Shield, but a 1950s reprint. Still, even the fifties edition turns out to be roughly a fifteen-dollar book and it has enough history to it that I certainly have had seventy-five cents worth of entertainment out of it. The book itself is a typical Nancy Drew mystery, except it doesn't actually star Nancy Drew: young Frances and Benny Wayne are vacationing with their Aunt Harriet and Uncle Jim. Jim's old partner has received an anonymous letter warning him of vandalism to a property he handles for a client in Mexico, and asks Uncle Jim to check it out since they're headed that direction. When they arrive the family meets a young Mexican girl named Lolita who is the daughter of the owner and is searching for her missing brother who was searching for a missing Aztec treasure. Naturally, Frances and Benny get involved in the search for the brother and the treasure, and it's a pretty good time.
That was it for quite a while. We did stop briefly in Tillamook, but there wasn't really anything of interest there. Our experiences at Buck's and Seaside Antiques had already shown us that stock at these out-of-the-way places doesn't really turn over a lot; most of the comics and pulps at Seaside Antiques were the same ones we'd seen there three years ago. We were looking for new places anyway.
But we didn't find many– at least, not many thrift stores or garage sales or book places. We did see lots of odd things… Neskowin, for example, is a strange little beachside settlement where the speed limit is ten miles an hour, and there's a sign on every front lawn to remind you.
And since it's the Oregon coast, of course we saw all sorts of eccentric people and eccentric vehicles.
We only made one more stop before we hit Lincoln City proper, though, and it was this place. The Red Barn Flea Market is indeed actually in a converted barn, just a couple of miles north of Lincoln City.
The place certainly doesn't look promising from the outside, but I pointed out to Julie that flea markets are normally really good territory for bookscouts and it was worth a look, especially since we'd noticed it on the last trip and skipped it.
And, what do you know? They really did have a pretty nice book section.
I hit paydirt right away, actually; there were two nice hardcovers on a ONE DOLLAR! CHEAP! table sitting in front of the book section. One, Chicks in Chainmail, just looked like a fun read, and– say it with me– for a dollar, why not? This is, as it turns out, about what it sounds like– an anthology of fantasy stories with female protagonists. The back cover amused me with its plaintive self-defense– "A WOMAN thought up this title! Honest!"
The other was a really nice first edition hardcover of Angry Candy by Harlan Ellison. I had that book at home somewhere, but not in this classy an edition, and again, this was a dollar.
Those were what I considered the big scores, but there were other things too. Paperbacks were only fifty cents, so I ended up with several impulse buys. I fell for a western paperback, Brad Ward's Thirty Notches, just because I like westerns and this one had a cool cover.
The X-Men First Class was the first actual comics trade I'd seen on this trip so far, and even though I already had it in hardcover at home, I can always use digests as giveaways for my classes. Anyway, it was in like-new shape for fifty cents.
The Red Barn find I enjoyed the most kind of sneaked up on me, though; it was strictly a hell-why-not impulse buy, giving in to a fanboy nerd moment. If anyone asked me, I'd have had to admit that as far as I knew no one was ever excited about this particular book but me and maybe its author, which is probably why the copy they had looked brand-new. But I have a fondness for licensed tie-in books, especially the ones from the era of my youth, and even more especially the ones that are licensed from short-term, one-season wonder television shows.
So you can just imagine my delight at finding Then Came Bronson #3: Rock!
Then Came Bronson was one of a wave of youth-oriented, ripped-from-the-headlines dramas that suddenly appeared on American television in 1969 and 1970– the same wave that included shows like The Mod Squad, The Young Lawyers, The New People, and The Young Rebels, among others. Bronson was basically the same formula as The Fugitive, except where Richard Kimble roamed from town to town looking for the one-armed man so he could clear himself of a murder charge, Jim Bronson wanders from town to town because he is sick of working for the Establishment and wants to find the Real America, and himself. Each week he gets embroiled with some new dysfunctional young person trying to somehow deal with a crabby old person, and Bronson teaches them how to just understand each other and groove together. Everyone thought it was ripped off from Easy Rider, but in fact Bronson was first.
Anyway, this paperback owned me from the second I saw the back cover copy– FOLK ROCK FREAK-OUT! But even better is this exchange from the teaser page in the front:
"Listen, baby," Renee whispered. "You're a bike freak and I'm a groovy lady; why the hell should those guys on the other side of the bushes get uptight over a couple of cats like us?"
Bronson shook his head. He didn't know exactly why… but he was determined to get closer to where the motorcycle gang was camped in order to find out. But before he could make any kind of move, a hand grasped his collar and there was a sharp point pressing against the side of his neck. "It's a knife," said the voice, "and it goes in real easy…"
Who could resist that? I read it to Julie out loud and she was reduced to hysterics; for the rest of the trip, any time I wanted her to crack up laughing I addressed her as 'groovy lady.' (In fact, it still works today– I just tried it now, typing this, and she's out in our front room giggling over it.)
But the joke ended up being on me, sort of. I wasn't really expecting to enjoy it as a book. But I read it through that night at the hotel and I have to give it up for writer Chris Stratton. In spite of the wince-inducing groovy slang, Rock turned out to be a pretty good book, about the plausible tensions that would spring up between old-timer residents and a bunch of hippies and biker visitors when a big outdoor rock festival comes to a small town, with our man Bronson caught in the middle.
Even more embarrassing to me, I'd completely misread the value of the thing. I usually have a pretty good eye for what's valuable… not professional-dealer-level, but I hit more than I miss. But not this time. What I thought was just a kitschy joke purchase– fifty cents– actually may have been the biggest score we'd come across this trip in terms of investment vs. resale, judging from what the Bronson books are going for from dealers.
Lesson learned. I may have to look for Mr. Stratton's other efforts now, including his one previous Bronson book.
Not a bad haul, really, but we were just getting started. Lincoln City and beyond would prove to be where all the really good stuff– rare books, old comics, even original art– was to be found.
….But this is getting a bit long already, so I think I'll stop here and leave that for next week. See you then.
Make it four columns – since I won't be making it out to the Oregon coast anytime soon, I like to experience it vicariously through you and Julie.
By the way, I share your admiration for those turn-of-the-(last)-century books. The binding, type, illustration plates and – something I really like in particular – the Art-Nouveau ornamentation, like on the cover of that book you bought. They're truly a joy to hold in your hands and simply appreciate as an artifact.
And geez, I can't believe you found that awesome edition of Angry Candy for a buck. I suspect I'm going to be turning green with envy quite a bit during the next few columns…
nice finds including angry candy and that bronson book which i have never heard of till i read your column right now. can't wait to read what else you and Julie find on your trip.
Love the book scouting / travel reports you do. Since I'll never get out to the west coast (Too many pets) I can live vicariously through your travels. Looking forward to the next installment.
I've got to ask: just how exactly does one deep-fry Kool-Aid?
I've got to ask: just how exactly does one deep-fry Kool-Aid?
We wondered about that too. Just not enough to actually go find out, because Julie and I were agreed that however they did it, it would be nasty.
I have always wondered if people ever referred to themselves as "cats". I always though only Speedy did that while on junkie mode.
Derek beat me to it, but yeah, deep fried Kool-Aid puzzled me too.
Ah, always love these columns. I have a copy of Angry Candy myself, I think, but I dunno if it's first edition or anything.
Of course they're not reading in Rockaway Beach, they're too busy with blasting disco on the radio!
I recently noticed at a local gas station/mini mart that they have jerky that comes from Tillamook! And I'm on the other side of the country from you guys, so apparently us East Coasters can't make jerky.
You probably flavor the batter.
Travis, interesting that you can buy something from Tillamook on the East Coast that's not a cheese product, especially cheddar. Maybe the jerky's made from decommissioned dairy cows (yeah, I know, I'm awful).
See, I'd guess that deep-fried Kool-Aid involves just deep-frying the Kool-Aid powder, not mixed with liquid. Which sounds completely inedible and disgusting, but hey.
I was about 8 when Bronson was on TV. I liked the show and remember it well. I was very happy to see Michael Parks' work in Tarantino's films, among others.
they probably let the Kool-Aid absorb into some kind of dough and deep fry that. I think that's how they do the beer version as well.
@Edo: decommissioned dairy cows? OH no! I won't be able to buy any now without feeling…odd. Ew.
Chocolate covered bacon isn't so bad. Chicken Fried Bacon, not as awesome as it sounds.
(I live in Minnesota; our state fair is renowned for its oddball deep fried goodies. Good: deep fried Twinkies, candy bars, mashed potatoes. Not so good: deep fried spaghetti & meatballs).
The Bronsons book sounds like a scream! I hate to think how much money I've spent on stuff I bought for the same reason. (On the book front, one that leaps immediately to mind is a novelization of "Invasion USA" with a fully-painted cover featuring Chuck Norris in full Rambo imitation mode. It is glorious.) I always enjoy the "traveling" columns. My girlfriend and I don't get to go on these type of trips nearly as often as we'd like, so it's nice to sort-of experience them vicariously through these posts.

Induction Hobs - Are They Safe?
November 16, 2008, 10:41:10 PM »
Has anyone got any information about the safety of induction hobs? Considering the issues related to people living too close to electrical sub stations due to the EMF, surely the same applies to an induction hob? I would imagine there is a substantial magnectic field surrounding the saucepan which you will be putting your hands through. What about the children whose heads are at the same level as the saucepan?
Has there been any research done on the effects of EMF in these applications?

I saw your other post about mains circuits, so I see you have general worries. I expect your difficulty is that most electricians don't support your concerns. You need to decide who you are willing to trust on the subject, because there's no way to reconcile orthodoxy with some of the more extreme views. I think you need to educate yourself some more so that you can judge the statements that people make. For example, you need to distinguish between electrical fields (which can be stopped by metal screens) and magnetic fields (which usually can't).
With regard to induction hobs, they work by magnetic induction. Putting a magnetically-susceptible pan on the hob "short-circuits" the magnetic field, just like putting an iron keeper on a horseshoe magnet does. That short-circuit is what generates the heat. So whilst the pan is in place, there's very little external field. When you remove the pan, the hob detects that and shuts off the power. So again there's little external field. (n.b. this paragraph is over-simplified! See para 1 for why)
Do you think there is more chance of a child getting ill from a stray magnetic field or from putting their hand in a gas flame? Or on a hot electric resistance hob? In short, stop worrying.

I have been proposing induction hobs as the best choice for both safety and energy consumption, so would be interested to hear of any real health concerns.
As far as safety goes, my view is based on personal experience - my Gran had her hand and wrist badly burned by her gas cooker when I was young - needing long hospital stays, skin grafts etc.
Also there is ample evidence that gas cooking is harmful because of the products of combustion, some of which are defintitely toxic, and the unburned gas itself. Whilst we now require a gas boiler to be sealed from the room, with both flue and air intake directly connected to the outside air, we seem OK with 10kW or so of completely unflued gas combustion in our living space. In a work place situation this is not allowed and the gas stays off until an extraction hood is running.
I do like cooking on gas, but the more I look into it, the more keen I am to ditch our gas hob!

Given that Induction Hobs are broadly similar to gas in terms of carbon produced would they be the best way to heat a saucepan for rural areas with only say electricity, calor gas or oil.

Alan, re your quote above - is this dealt with in buildings with MVHR to the point of it becoming a non-issue?

Andy I'm not sure that MVHR extract rates are high enough to deal with poor gas consumption - the extract rate of a good cooker hood is often higher than the whole -house rate for an MVHR systyem. And if you have MVHR you probably have a very airtight house, with lower ventilation rates than traditional housing.

'traditional housing' is....?
Just concerned that 'lower ventilation rates' does not imply (to those skimming posts) lower air quality!
But thanks for the quantitative answer Alan.
Anyway - aware this thread about induction hobs.

It could be helpful for people to stop rubbishing gas cooking as part of the discussion of induction cooking.
If the exhaust is harmful, well, a prototype balanced-flue gas cooker was developed in Canada 1991-92 in association with the Advanced House project for use in I think eight of the homes and it only needs an organisation prepared to provide the ££ to commercialise it.
If on the other hand the exhaust is adequately dealt with by MVHR or MEV systems; e.g. the first Passivhaus project had gas cooking, and I suspect this is the case, then within reason we can stop worrying.
FWIW, electric cooking appears to be responsible for the extreme peak in electricity demand which occurs in the UK at 6 pm on winter evenings, this is clearly visible on National Grid Co.'s records. For this extra demand, £billions extra must be spent on power stations as unlike gas electricity can't be stored. Some years ago it was found in the UK that an average dwelling with electric cooking imposed a coincident peak demand of 1 kW on the national grid. Quite an expensive investment.

As I understood the thread, it's discussing hobs rather than ovens. In that context, I'm having difficulty understanding the possibility of a balanced flue. If you have any more details, I'd love to peruse them since it might preempt marital discord.
My understanding of the potential issue with gas cooking is that the concern largely postdates the first Passivhaus and it concerns particulates and nitrogen compounds emitted from the hobs. I'd love to know any definitive sources.
I suppose that in the rosy electric-blue coloured vision of our future, the need for electric cooking will immediately follow the plugging in of the newly-returned electric vehicle with its battery or other electrical resource able to meet said demand.
At some point, perhaps I'll feel confident I understand things well enough to form an opinion on this topic!

They looked just like an electric halogen hob but the radiant heat was created by a gas flame below the glass, not electricity. I didn't discover at the time or soon after why exactly they weren't then commercialised, but I could ask contacts in Canada. Myself I'd like an LPG version.
I'm sure you agree that on most tables which set out the emissions from old or new woodstoves, pellet boilers or oil boilers, the particle emissions from gas appliances tend to be relegated to a footnote and described as negligible - though it may depend on one's measurement device and the adjustment of the burner.
To raise a possibly heretical question, if particles from a piped gas or LPG flame are unsafe in the building, what about the woodstove in the cottage 100 m away? That could in theory be dliuted, by many orders of magnitude and still provide as great an exposure as the emissions from the methane or propane-fired device.

Not my area of expertise but I wouldn't be too surprised if the emissions from smoking oil and sizzling bacon didn't rather swamp the gas emissions. Time for breakfast, sadly muesli.

Those hobs sound interesting; unfortunate that they're not available.
I don't think your question about woodsmoke is heretical. I think it's banned in built-up areas just like smoke from coal, isn't it? AFAIK, gasifiers are the best way to deal with wood. It seems to me that burning anything is likely to lead to products that aren't good to breathe.
Not my area of expertise either, though.

I've just noticed the return of this subject on the forum and feel slightly guilty for starting it and then disappearing to let other people to carry it on. I did do some research after my first post and found some recommendations for using induction hobs. It's been a while now but from what I remember......
1. The manufacturers do not recommend induction hobs to be used by people fitted with pacemakers
2. Do not stir with metal spoons as this can allow leakage current to flow through your body
3. Do not touch the pan for the same reasons as above
3. Always ensure the pan completely covers the hob as any exposed areas of hob will release stray magnetic fields
4. Keep a safe distance from the hob to reduce exposure to magnetic fields (I think it was something like 12")
There doesn't appear to be any evidence to suggest exposure to magnetic fields is harmful but the experts admit they don't really know, hence the recommendations above to be on the safe side. Maybe we will find whether they are safe or not after there have been enough guinea pigs using them for long enough.

Currently, if the same namespace is declared for different included urls, only one included urls module gets the namespace.
In this scenario:
urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^first/', include('first.urls')), url(r'^first_default/', include('first.urls', app_name='first', namespace='first')), url(r'^first_in_a/', include('first.urls', app_name='first', namespace='A')), url(r'^first_in_b/', include('first.urls', app_name='first', namespace='B')), url(r'^second/', include('second.urls')), url(r'^second_default/', include('second.urls', app_name='second', namespace='second')), url(r'^second_in_a/', include('second.urls', app_name='second', namespace='A')), url(r'^second_in_b/', include('second.urls', app_name='second', namespace='B')), )
The expected output is:
reverse('first') -> /first/ reverse('second') -> /second/ reverse('A:first') -> /first_in_a/ reverse('A:second') -> /second_in_a/ reverse('B:first') -> /first_in_b/ reverse('B:second') -> /second_in_b/
But instead is:
reverse('first') -> /first/ reverse('second') -> /second/ reverse('A:first') -> /first_in_a/ reverse('A:second') -> NoReverseMatch reverse('B:first') -> /first_in_b/ reverse('B:second') -> NoReverseMatch

After further discussion, this isn't really a release blocker, since it isn't a regression or a major bug in a new feature.
However, the patch looks correct and stands a good chance to be committed before 1.4.
I've spend a few hours on it, but I don't feel sufficiently familiar with the URL namespacing feature to commit it. I asked Russell (the original author) if he could take a look.

After discussion with Malcolm (the other author), this rather looks like a misuse of app_name.
This could be resolved by improving the documentation rather than changing the code.
comment:10 Changed 4 years ago by Kronuz
I really wish this could be checked in since, even of it's a "missuse" given the original design, I believe it to be a good addition which just further increases the url resolvers code isometry and flexibly allowing the use of the same namespace name across apps... *plus* it doesn't really break anything, just covers a legit and intuitive use case for namespaces.
Any other thoughts about this ticket?

Navy SEALs use a wide variety of weapons matched to the different types of mission they undertake, such as covert intelligence gathering, counterterrorism, hostage rescue and other types of special operation.
Assault Rifles and Submachine Guns
The primary weapon of the Navy SEAL is the assault rifle. A number of models are in use, but the standard issue is the Colt M4A1 carbine. This is a flexible, modular weapon that can be configured to the task at hand through the use of accessories such as a sound suppressor, laser sight or night-vision scope. For close-quarter combat, the SEALs use the lighter and more compact Heckler and Koch MP5-N submachine gun. The "N" stands for Navy variant, which was specifically designed for use by SEALs. It has a burst fire option in addition to semi-automatic and full automatic modes.
Sniper Rifles
For long-range, high-precision work, the Navy SEALs use sniper rifles. The Mark 11 SWS, or Sniper Weapon System, is the military variant of the SR-25 rifle, firing NATO-standard 7.62 mm ammunition. For use by the SEALs, the barrel was shortened from 24 to 20 inches to make it more suitable for urban combat. The SEALs also employ a larger sniper rifle, the M82A1 SASR, or Special Application Scoped Rifle. This fires .50 caliber rounds and is effective against hardened targets as well as enemy personnel.
Hand Grenades
The M67 hand grenade is one of the simplest and yet most lethal weapons used by Navy SEALs. It can be lobbed over a wall or into an enclosed space, and has a kill radius of 15 feet. For more distant targets, the SEALs can employ a grenade launcher such as the M79, capable of firing various types of grenades more than 1,000 feet. A grenade launcher can also be fitted to the M4A1 assault rifle. For non-lethal applications, SEALs can make use of "flash bang" grenades, which aim to disorient the enemy with a sudden flash of light and a loud noise.
Other Weapons
Navy SEALs use a variety of hand guns, including the .45 caliber Heckler and Koch Mark 23 SOCOM, specially developed for the United States Special Operations Command for use by several special forces units including the SEALs. For silent, close-quarter combat, however, a SEAL may prefer to use the Daniel Winkler fixed-blade knife. At the other end of the scale, the heavy-duty M240 machine gun also has a place in the versatile armory of the Navy SEALs.

Six years ago Connie Culp's life changed forever when her husband pointed a shotgun at her head and pulled the trigger, ripping away 80 percent of her face.
"When you look back, I've come a long way."
Connie lost her nose, cheeks, roof of her mouth and one eye.
"You never know what might happen to you," she said.
She underwent 30 reconstructive surgeries. Then, at 46, this mother and grandmother, became the first person in the United States to receive a face transplant.
"Sometimes I still don't believe it's true."
Eight surgeons, 30 support staff, two operating rooms-all working simultaneously. 22- hours of touch and go- Cleveland Clinic Plastic Surgeon Maria Siemienow meticulously reconnected two major arteries and four veins.
"When the arteries and veins were connected and when the graft just got back to life and pinked up, it was definitely as relief," said Maria, Siemionow M.D., Ph.D., Director of Plastic Surgery Research.
Her facial nerves grow one inch a month.
"Now she smiles, she's very vivid ...she jokes. And you can see all the expressions in her face," said Maria Siemienow, M.D., Ph.D., Plastic Surgeon Cleveland Clinic.
For the rest of her life she will be on anti rejection meds. Connie says it's a small inconvenience. Considering what she gained.
"It feels great to go out and not have people look at me because I look strange," said Connie.
Connie says she doesn't hate her husband, and wants to help other abused women heal.

Never miss another 'Rae Morris' show
This event takes place at Cecil Sharp House, which has achieved Bronze Status for disabled access from Attitude Is Everything.
Rae Morris
Rae Morris is a young singer/songwriter from Blackpool. Learning piano at an early age and forever underestimating her ability, Rae found a voice she didn't know she had. Make your own comparisons, but be sure to notice a girl of maturity beyond her years.
Cleverly matching her inimitable voice to songs of new experiences, those defining challenges like love and not always being able to have the answers, Rae is the epitome of raw and claims nothing else. Her coming-of-age tales make her a modern-day PJ Harvey, Kate Bush or Feist.
'Rae Morris is becoming the country's most beloved singer-songwriter' (Zane Lowe, Radio 1).

Developer signs £51m contract to build hundreds of MoD homes for returning soldiers
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Development
Developer Lovell has signed a £51 million contract with the Ministry of Defence to construct hundreds of new properties in Stafford.
The 346 new homes will be used by soldiers and their families returning from Germany.
The deal follows October 2013's announcement of a £100m contract to carry out a major redevelopment of Beacon Barracks in Stafford.
The homes should be complete by summer 2015 when troops from 16 Signal Regiment and 1 Armoured Division Signal Regiment will move to Beacon Barracks allowing for the closure of Rhine Garrison in Germany.
Defence Minister Andrew Murrison said: "This significant investment in Stafford further demonstrates that we are determined to provide the best possible accommodation for our soldiers and their families. Bringing troops back from Germany will save more than £350 million a year in running costs, make best use of the Defence estate and provide a boost to the UK economy."
The contract was awarded to Lovell Partnerships Ltd by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation, which manages and maintains land and property for the MOD.
It is in addition to the £1.8 billion announced last March by the Defence Secretary Philip Hammond for the Army Rebasing Plan, which will see 15,000 personnel return to the UK from Germany by 2020, £20m of which will be spent in the West Midlands.
Under the Basing Plan, Stafford will become one of seven major Army concentrations along with Salisbury Plain, Edinburgh and Leuchars in Scotland, Catterick in North Yorkshire, Aldershot, Colchester and the East Midlands.
David Gough, regional director for Lovell, said: "This is a landmark project win for Lovell, and we are looking forward to working on such a prestigious scheme with the DIO. The tendering process was extremely rigorous but I believe it allowed us to demonstrate the uncompromisingly high standards we always demand of ourselves. We are looking forward to getting started in the Spring on providing these outstanding new homes for our Armed Forces personnel and their families."

I asked her if Barnes and Noble was aware of this promotion and what the catch was. She replied that B&N was indeed aware and that it was a discount club that I could join for $1 for the first month and $16.99 for each month after that, only if I checked the boxes on the form they would be sending me.
At that point she asked for my email address so that I would receive the packet sooner. Dumb me, I gave it to her. I had previously read the RipOff Reports so I knew what questions to ask. Obviously, your readers had no idea. I told her that I would not be filling out any such form. She then said that was entirely up to me. So, I am hoping that as long as I don't cash the check nor fill out the forms they should not be able to deduct from my bank account.....right?
Then I called customer service at Barnes and Noble and they had no idea that pop up was coming up after a book purchase online. I told her about the rip off report that I read here and suggested they get one of their techs to remove it if it was not advocated by them. She said she was "on it".

I just started having a problem using the one_third shortcodes, I have a few pages that were working up until today (4/4/13), now they seem to be being ignored. I have no problem with the pages using the one_half shortcodes, those are working as they always have been. I have updated Ultimate TinyMCE but disabling that didn't fix the issue. I also upgraded to Better WP Security, but am reluctant to try disabling that.
Any suggestions on how I can figure out what's causing this particular issue? It seems strange that only the one_third shortcodes would be ignored, or why a security plugin would make only one shortcode stop working.
Thank you.

Reviews for the Dell Inspiron M301z
Source: Computer Active
Netbooks are great for web browsing and other simple tasks, but their slow performance and miniature keyboards can be frustrating. A 13.3in laptops such as Dell's Inspiron M301z will usually offer better performance while still remaining reasonably small and portable. The compact chassis and lightweight design impressed, but battery life was disappointing

ATI Radeon HD 4225: Onboard graphics card (in the RS880M chipset) that is able to decode HD videos (thanks to the UVD2). Technically a slower clocked HD 4250.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

K625: Dual Core Entry level CPU for small subnotebooks on a performance level with the SU7300 Intel Core 2 Duo.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
Above all, this display size is used for subnotebooks, ultrabooks and convertibles. For all three types, this size is quite large. The biggest variety of subnotebooks is represented with this size.
Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.6 kg:
This weight is typical for very big tablets, subnotebooks, ultrabooks and convertibles with a 11-13 inch display-diagonal.
Dell: Dell Inc. is a multinational technology corporation that develops, manufactures, sells, and supports personal computers and other computer-related products. Based in Texas, Dell employs more than 82,700 people worldwide (2009). In 2006, Dell purchased the computer hardware manufacturer Alienware. In most countries, the laptops are directly sold to consumers by Dell and each notebook custom-assembled according to a selection of options. Market share regarding sales of personal computers in 2007 (market research IDC): HP 18.9 %, Dell 16.4 %, Acer 9.9 %, Lenovo 7.5 %, Apple 5.7 %
80%: This rating is not convincing. The laptop is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.
