Henry and Parliament
Henry's relations with his Parliaments were uneasy. The main problem, of course, was money. Henry, as Duke of Lancaster, was a wealthy man, but as king he had forfeited some of his income by repudiating Richard II's tactics, though he also avoided Richard's extravagance. His needs were still great, threatened as he was by rebellion in England and war in France. A central issue was Parliament's demand, as in 1404, that the king take back all royal land that had been granted and leased out since 1366. This was so that he might "live of his own." The king could hardly adopt a measure that would cause much upheaval. Arguments in 1406 were so protracted that the Parliament met for 159 days, becoming the longest Parliament of the medieval period. On several occasions the Commons insisted on taxes being spent in the way that they wished, primarily on the defense of the realm.
The later Parliaments of Henry's reign brought no new problems, but the king became less active in government as he was more and more incapacitated by illness. From 1408 to 1411 the government was dominated first by Archbishop Arundel and then by the king's son Henry, who, with the support of the Beaufort brothers, sons of John of Gaunt by Katherine Swynford, attempted to win control over the council. There was much argument over the best political strategy to adopt in France, where civil war was raging; young Henry wanted to resume the war in France, but the king favoured peace. In 1411 the king recovered his authority, and the Prince of Wales was dismissed from the council. Uneasy relations between the prince and his father lasted until Henry IV's death in 1413.
Henry V (1413–22)
Henry V's brief reign is important mainly for the glorious victories in France, which visited on his infant son the enormous and not-so-glorious burden of governing both France and England. Two rebellions undermined the security of the realm in the first two years of the reign. The first was organized by Sir John Oldcastle, a Lollard and former confidant of the king. Though Oldcastle was not arrested until 1417, little came of his rising. Another plot gathered around Richard, 5th Earl of Cambridge, a younger brother of the Duke of York. The aim was to place the Earl of March on the throne, but March himself gave the plot away, and the leading conspirators were tried and executed on the eve of the king's departure for France.
The French war
Henry invaded France in 1415 with a small army of some 9,000 men. The siege of Harfleur was followed by a march toward Calais. At Agincourt the English were forced to fight because their route onward was blocked; they won an astonishing victory. Between 1417 and 1419 Henry followed up this success with the conquest of Normandy and the grant of Norman lands to English nobles and lesser men. This was a new strategy for the English to adopt, replacing the plundering raids of the past. In 1420 in the Treaty of Troyes it was agreed that Henry would marry Catherine, Charles VI's daughter. He was to be heir to the French throne, and that throne was to descend to his heirs in perpetuity. But Charles VI's son, the Dauphin, was not a party to the treaty, and so the war continued. Henry, still wanting money but reluctant to ask for subsidies at a time when he needed all the support he could get for the treaty, obtained forced loans. There were increasing indications of unease in England. In 1422 Henry contracted dysentery and died at the siege of Meaux in August, leaving as his heir a son less than a year old.
Domestic affairs
England was competently governed under Henry V. Problems of law and order were dealt with by reviving the use of the King's Bench as a traveling court; central and local administration operated smoothly. Henry proved adept at persuading men to serve him energetically for limited rewards. Parliament, well-satisfied with the course of events in France, gave the king all the support he needed. War finance was efficiently managed, and although Henry died in debt, the level was a manageable one. His was a most successful reign.
Henry VI (1422–61 and 1470–71)
Henry VI was a pious and generous man, but he lacked the attributes needed for effective kingship. Above all he lacked political sense and was no judge of men. Until 1437 he was a child, under the regency of a council of nobles dominated by his uncles and his Beaufort kin. When he was declared of age, the Beauforts were the real rulers of England. In 1445, through the initiative of the Earl (later Duke) of Suffolk, he married Margaret of Anjou, who with Suffolk dominated the king. Finally, in the period from 1450 to 1461 he suffered two bouts of mental illness. During these crises Richard, 3rd Duke of York, ruled the kingdom as protector.

Comics A.M. | Siegel & Shuster heirs fight DC's interference claim
Legal | In the aftermath of last month's ruling that DC Comics retains full rights to Superman, the heirs of creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster are urging federal judge to dismiss claims that their lawyer interfered with the publisher's copyright to the character. DC sued attorney Marc Toberoff in May 2010, accusing him impeding a 1992 copyright agreement with the heirs by striking overriding deals with them in 2001 and 2003. The families insist the publisher filed its claims two years too late, as the statute of limitations expired in 2008. [Law360]

They took the words right out of my mouth: DC certifies its WTF status
DC Comics announced last week that its April superhero comics will be "WTF Certified," presumably because the month kicks off with April Fool's Day. In doing so, the publisher made itself the easiest of targets for snide remarks. Let's take a quick sample of the ones I found in just a five-minute search:
- "[A]n all-too-apt description of the current state of the publishing company" — The AV Club's Oliver Sava
- "I am looking forward to 'MILF March' featuring all the superheroes' mothers" — Mike Sterling
- "DC has the ability to sell comics to literally anyone with an internet connection now. It'd be nice if their tenor reflected that." — Kevin Church
- "The company announced that all 52 of its mainstream titles would have a 'WTF Certified' stamp on it, presumably as a wink to fans who have been wondering what the fuck has been going on at DC." — Outhousers.com
- "This is not a hoax, not an imaginary story, but a certified edgy promotion! The covers are gatefolds, with the "What the" part on the front and the 'fuck' part on the inside." — Heidi MacDonald
- "Remember how DC is having their mature and genteel 'WTF Month,' where the cover is supposed to fold out and make you swear in shock and exasperation … and if children still read DC comics, presumably get your mouth washed out with soap?" — Todd Allen
- "I thought every month was WTF month at DC?" — about one-fifth of everyone leaving a comment beneath an online article on the subject
It's not that weird for DC Comics (or, to be fair, arch-rival Marve), to occasionally be metaphorically walking around with a "Kick Me" sign on its metaphorical back, but it is pretty weird for DC to affix the sign itself and make such a big, aggressive show of pointing it out to everyone.
So let's get to kicking them, I guess. But where to start? With the name of the event, naturally.
Former investigator accused of stealing comics from defendant
You may recall the story of Anthony Chiofalo, a corporate attorney accused of embezzling $9.3 million from his Texas employer and then spending a sizable chunk of that money on high-priced collectibles, including a copy of Detective Comics #27 worth $900,000.
Well, now that story has another chapter — one starring a former investigator for the Harris County District Attorney's office who appeared today in federal court on charges that he stole hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Chiofalo's seized comic books and attempted to sell them.
The Houston Chronicle reports Lonnie Blevins was arrested following a lengthy federal investigation into accusations into items that disappeared following a raid on Chiofalo's home and storage units. Blevins is accused of stealing dozens of the vintage comic books, possibly worth more than $1 million.
"There were so many, they just decided to take a few," Chiofalo's attorney Paul Doyle told the newspaper. "Talk about a breach of trust." He plans to file a motion to dismiss based on misconduct.
Chiofalo's other collectibles included a boxing robe worn by Muhammad Ali, a signed first edition of The Godfather and a baseball helmet signed by Pete Rose. Presumably they're safe and sound.
Food or Comics? | Snapple or Snapshot
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.

It's a busy week at the store for me, it seems. If I had $15 this week, I'd pick up Harbinger #0 (Valiant, $3.99), the one-shot revealing the backstory of the surprisingly compelling relaunch/reboot of the 1990s series, as well as the first issues of Fearless Defenders (Marvel, $2.99) and Snapshot (Image, $2.99). The latter, I've already read in its Judge Dredd Megazine serialization, but I'm really curious to see if it reads differently in longer chapters; the former, I'm just hopeful for, given the high concept and involvement of Cullen Bunn.
If I had $30, I'd add the reissued 7 Miles A Second HC (Fantagraphics, $19.99) to my pile. I remember reading the original Vertigo version of this in the 1990s, and am definitely curious to see what this recolored edition, with pages restored after being cut from the Vertigo edition, is like.
Splurging, I find myself drawn to IDW's Doctor Who Omnibus, Vol. 1 ($29.99). I blame the lack of new Doctor Who on the television right now. That month-and-a-bit is far too long to wait …!
Jazan Wild asks Ninth Circuit to reinstate Heroes lawsuit
Comics creator Jazan Wild on Monday asked the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to revive his $60 million copyright-infringement lawsuit against NBC Universal and the producers of Heroes, arguing that a trial judge shouldn't have thrown out his claims nearly two years ago.
Wild (aka Jason Barnes) sued the network and Tim Kring's Tailwind Productions in May 2010, accusing them of stealing the "carnival of lost souls and outcasts" depicted in the fourth season of the drama from his 2005-2006 comic series Jazan Wild's Carnival of Souls. In his original complaint, he laid out numerous side-by-side comparisons that he contends prove the TV show's traveling carnival is "virtually identical" to the one in his comic series.
But in May 2011, U.S. District Judge Gary Allen Feess determined that Heroes and Carnival of Souls "differ markedly in mood and setting, and weren't substantially similar works, and therefore Wild had failed to prove his claim for copyright infringement. In Wild's appeal, he insisted the judge erred by using too rigorous of a test to determine infringement, arguing that the wide availability of his comic meant he had to meet a lower standard of proof.
Art Baltazar and Franco take Aw Yeah Comics! to Kickstarter
If the cancellation of DC Comics' Superman Family Adventures has left you a little deflated, take heart: Longtime collaborators Franco Aureliani and Art Baltazar are turning to Kickstarter to launch their Aw Yeah Comics!, an "all-reader friendly" series with contributions from established and new talents alike, including Mark Waid, Brad Meltzer, Chris Roberson and Jason Aaron. The series was originally announced in July.
The comic, which stars Baltazar and Franco's Action Cat and Adventure Bug, is designed to appeal to children and adults alike: "Our hope is to present a comic book that has just as much to offer a little girl as it does a little boy, and leave absolutely no one out of the fun. Because fun is important. Fun is a good thing for a comic book to have, and we want to add a little bit more of it to what's out there now."
Aw Yeah Comics!, which shares its name with the duo's Skokie, Illinois, store, will debut in April with Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo. According to the Kickstarter page, work on the first three issues is about 80 percent complete, while issues four through six are at about 60 percent. To help reach their $15,000 goal, they're offering pledge incentives like an exclusive digital comic, an original mini-painting by Baltazar, a guest appearance by a donor's own character, and a cover by Franco for a donor's comic book.
The Kickstarter campaign ends March 7.
Rare original Calvin and Hobbes strip goes up for auction
Three months after an original 1986 Sunday installment of Calvin and Hobbes, drawn and hand-colored by Bill Watterson, sold for $203,150, another original strip is going on the auction block.
Like the previous piece, this daily strip was part of a 1986 swap between Watterson and Adam@Home and Red and Rover cartoonist Brian Bassett. However, The Daily Cartoonist notes that while Bassett sold the other original to help with the expenses of a divorce and upcoming marriage, this one is being offered by his ex-wife Linda through Heritage Auctions (both are signed by Watterson to Brian and Linda).
The strip, part of Heritage's Feb. 21-23 Vintage Comics & Comic Art Signature Auction in New York City, has already garnered a top online/telephone bid of $15,000. The company cautions, "We know you've heard us say this before, but consider this a rare opportunity that may not be repeated for a long time to come. We have no more Watterson Calvin originals 'waiting in the wings' to trot out next time around."
See the full strip below.
Comics A.M. | Radical raises $3 million for digital, licensing
Publishing | Radical Studios has secured $3 million in its first round of fundraising to further develop its catalog, expanding its digital publishing efforts and licensing capabilities. The publisher, which ultimately hopes to raise $9.5 million, has two comic-book adaptations in development at major studios: Oblivion, starring Tom Cruise, at Universal Pictures, and Hercules: The Thracian Wars, starring Dwayne Johnson, at Universal Pictures. [Variety]
Retailing | Dave and Adam's Card World, billed as the largest online seller of baseball cards, has branched out, with an eye toward becoming the largest online seller of vintage comic books by 2014. "We were somewhat shocked and surprised that vintage comic books are more popular than vintage baseball cards. As a card collector, that just hurts," c0-founder and CEO Adam Martin joked. [Lockport Union-Sun & Journal]
Quote of the Day | The dearth of black writers at the Big Two
"This is the first week of Black History Month, a four-week celebration and remembrance of the significant events and people of the African diaspora. For many, myself included, it's a month to reflect on where we've been, as a people and as a nation, and to contemplate exactly where it is we're going. In terms of the comic book industry, an obvious interest and passion of mine, there is one glaring and sobering fact that needs our attention: There is currently not a single black writer working on a monthly series for either of the two biggest comic book publishers in the United States, and precious few working for any of the others."
– Joe Hughes of ComicsAlliance, delivering an eye-opening assessment of the lack of black writers at DC Comics and Marvel
Comic Book Resources columnist Hannibal Tabu points out that Marvel hasn't had a black writer since Reginald Hudlin's tenure ended on Black Panther in 2009. What's more, "With Dark Horse Presents, Dark Horse has paid more black people in comics in the last year or so than DC and Marvel have done in many, many years."

The Savaged Hawkman: What latest DC casualty says about New 52
According to recent convention scuttlebutt, DC Comics is apparently canceling its latest Hawkman series, the New 52-launched Savage Hawkman, perhaps as early as May's Issue 20.
That is not the least bit surprising, really, given the publisher's historical difficulty in keeping readers interested in Hawkman, and given the way in which the title and the character were served by the line-wide reboot and the accompanying creative-team chaos. It's too bad, though, given how easily DC could have simply published the sort of Hawkman title the 21st-century super-comic audience would support, rather than The Savage Hawkman.
The series launched in September 2011 along with the other 51 new series comprising DC's New 52 initiative, featuring a rebooted continuity for the then 71-year-old hero and a redesigned costume featuring more armor and pointed edges (most notably a set of Wolverine-like claws frequently waved in the direction of the reader on the covers). The creative team consisted of artist-turned-writer/artist Tony S. Daniel, who was just handling the writing, and Philip Tan, who was providing the art.
Watch Paolo Rivera draw a Daredevil cover in 11 minutes
Yes, I realize I just posted something about Paolo Rivera on Friday, but this is too good to pass up: The artist has put together a time-lapse video detailing his process for Daredevil #22 (above). It's at 20 times the normal speed, compressing three hours of work into just 11 minutes.
"It's a pretty straight forward time lapse, but there are 3 things that I'd like to point out as you watch," Rivera writes on his blog. "First, I use reference of my own hand to facilitate the drawing process. This photo is taken on the fly using Photo Booth on my iMac. It's as easy as using a mirror, but with more options. Second, I employ a digital perspective template of my own design for the background. It's extremely useful, but has a steep learning curve — I plan on releasing it to the public later this year. Lastly, toward the end of the video, you can see that I had trouble with Daredevil's legs as he's scaling Stilt-Man's serpentine legs. The cover as a whole went pretty smoothly, but it took me a long time to find a pose for him that didn't look totally awkward to me. Spidey, on the other hand, was a breeze — characters who are flying/falling are always easier to draw since they don't have to interact with any other entities."
News Corporation sells IGN Entertainment
Following a failed bid to spin off IGN Entertainment, News Corporation has sold the network of websites to j2 Global subsidiary Ziff Davis, owner of Geek.com, PCMag.com and other properties.
Although the sale price hasn't been announced, the figure is believed to be considerably lower than the $650 million News Corp. paid for IGN in 2005. According to PandoDaily, Ziff Davis shelled out even less than the $100 million that had been floated as an asking price. IGN had been on the market for six months.
The deal includes all of IGN's websites devoted to video games, comic books, film, television and men's lifestyle, including IGN.com, UGO.com, 1UP.com and AskMen.com. In some respects, it brings the two companies full circle as, before its acquisition by j2, Ziff Davis sold 1Up to UGO Entertainment, which was then acquired from Hearst Corporation by IGN in 2011.
"This is a transformative deal for our digital media business," j2 Global CEO Hemi Zucker said in a statement. "By combining two of the most storied organizations in tech, gaming and entertainment, we have created a very powerful company capable of producing and delivering content in all forms to an audience that marketers highly value."
Women of Action | Ame-Comi Girls
When DC Comics announced it was launching a series based on its popular Ame-Comi line of figures, I don't think I heard a single person say, "Yes! I was hoping for that!" The Ame-Comi collectibles can be imaginative and attractive (some more than others), but no one was clamoring for a series that sexualized DC's superheroines even more overtly than they already are. In fact, the most common responses were either head-scratching or eye-rolling, depending on how much the person thought DC has legitimately tried to reach out to female readers lately. But then the creators were announced.
Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray write the series and Amanda Conner drew the first couple of installments, which were serialized digitally first, 10 pages at a time. Putting the creators of the well-regarded Power Girl series on Ame-Comi Girls was a smart move and convinced a lot of readers who otherwise would have dismissed the comic – including me – to give it at least an initial look.

" Fujitsu PDS-4241 - 42" Plasmavision plasma panel - widescreen - 1080i - HDTV monitor - anthracite "
Accepting the input from virtually any video source, the PDS-4241 is the perfect Convergent Visual Medium for numerous applications. It can display images in true 1080i and 720p HDTV as well as 480i and 480p SDTV signals, thanks to its improved 1024 x 1024 high-resolution pixel array. The PDS-4241 can also display the video output from a computer up to UXGA resolution, to display computer graphics with extraordinary clarity and color definition.
The Fujitsu PDS-4241 Plasmavision Slimscreen monitor is truly the ultimate plasma display. It utilizes the latest generation of the company's proprietary ALiS (Alternate Lighting of Surfaces) technology, which discharges the electrodes in the plasma panel in a more efficient manner than conventional plasma monitors to achieve significantly higher brightness and definition, yielding extraordinary clarity, sharpness and color accuracy. Fujitsu's newly developed APLC (Advanced Peak Luminance Control) system provides improved contrast of 500: 1 and brightness through advanced rib materials and phosphors for enhanced panel brightness to a remarkable 700 cd/m2 without affecting product life.
The PDS-4241 incorporates a host of additional image-enhancing technologies for unsurpassed image quality. Built with Fujitsu's AVM advanced digital video signal processor, it virtually eliminates motion artifacts and flicker, improves vertical resolution and reproduces natural movement with ease. The processor's built-in line doubler converts NTSC signals and uses different types of processing for moving and still pictures, yielding smoother images with more natural movement and without visible scan lines. High definition Television (HDTV) and DVD signals are enhanced by the processor to achieve the optimum image for the plasma display.
High definition and high brightness is realized by displaying 1024 scanning lines with same 512 lines of scanning electrodes as conventional system, by discharging alternately the spaces between the display electrodes and the scanning display electrodes not being used in the conventional system.

Stop With the Pop
Slurping up soda may make you more prone to heart disease -- even if you're drinking diet. In a study published in Circulation, people who downed one or more sodas a day had a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome (a cluster of heart disease risk factors, including hypertension and low levels of "good" cholesterol) compared with people who had less than one soda daily. The study didn't determine why soda consumption might be linked to the syndrome, but American Heart Association spokesperson Nieca Goldberg, M.D., suggests soda drinkers may be more likely to choose unhealthy foods. What's more, "people often drink diet soda to cut back on calories but end up eating more, because soda has such low nutritional value." To curb risk for metabolic syndrome, says Goldberg, stay away from refined carbs, don't overdo soda consumption, keep food portions in check, and get regular aerobic exercise.

An industrial prospect that Brunswick County's economic developer calls a "long shot" could bring more than a thousand jobs to the area.
At a meeting this week, the N.C. Board of Transportation approved spending $200,000 to provide rail access for the business, identified only as "Project Diamond."
The funds would help construct rail infrastructure to serve an industrial park where the company would build a new facility.
The business would make a capital investment of at least $35 million and would receive about 1,500 carloads of freight each year, according to information provided to the Board of Transportation.
Jim Bradshaw, executive director of the Brunswick County Economic Development Commission, would not identify the site or the business when contacted Friday afternoon.
He said it would be months before he finds out if Brunswick County is a finalist to land the employer.
Bradshaw explained the state rail funding is just one of the grant sources he is perusing for this project.
He said Project Diamond is just one of 13 active projects considering Brunswick County.

Vacation Rental Company Plans to Petition Congress Requesting 'National Vacation Day;' Searches for the Person Most Deserving of a $10,000 Vacation Getaway
AUSTIN, TEXAS, June 2, 2009 /PRNewswire/ — With many families feeling uneasy about spending money in today's challenging economy and studies showing travelers putting off summer travel, HomeAway® - the world's leading online vacation rental marketplace - today invites people to join together to "save our summer vacation." In fact, HomeAway is launching a national movement to help consumers relax and unwind during these troubled times.
As part of the movement to save summer vacations, HomeAway has created the website www.SaveOurSummerVacation.com and is asking consumers to sign a petition requesting Congress to proclaim a "National Vacation Day" on August 7, 2009.
"In stressful times, vacations help bring families together and let people recharge, getting them ready to return to work or school with a renewed attitude," said Eileen Ogintz, family travel expert and author of the syndicated column "Taking the Kids." "While several recent surveys have shown that families are putting off vacations in light of the economy and rising gas prices, there are actually many ways to cut costs - but not corners - and still stick to an affordable travel budget. For example, vacation rentals through sites like HomeAway.com allow you to rent a whole home for less than the cost of a hotel, and they come with added perks like full kitchens that allow you to dine in and save even more money."
Searching for the Person Who's Most in Need of a Summer Vacation
In addition to campaigning for a National Vacation Day, HomeAway is searching for the person in the United States and Canada who is most deserving of a week-long summer vacation.
Whether they're stressed out, tired of hearing about the gloomy economy, or simply haven't taken a vacation in years, HomeAway is giving them the opportunity to share their story for the chance to win a $10,000 vacation getaway. Two runners-up each will receive a $5,000 trip.
"At HomeAway we believe now more than ever people deserve to take a break from work and stress and enjoy a relaxing vacation with their families and friends - without busting their budget," said Brian Sharples, chief executive officer of HomeAway.
As part of the contest, consumers can submit a short text, video or photo entry at www.SaveOurSummerVacation.com, explaining why they deserve to have their summer vacation saved by HomeAway. The entry period runs today through July 2, 2009, at which time the general public has the chance to vote for the person they believe is most in need of a vacation. The voting period ends July 16, 2009, when an expert panel of judges will select the winner from the top 15 vote-getters based on creativity, originality and effectiveness at expressing their need for a vacation. Judges include Stacy DeBroff, CEO of Mom Central, a one-stop web resource dedicated to providing busy moms with smart household and parenting solutions; Eileen Ogintz and Brian Sharples. Winners will be announced on or around July 28, 2009.
The official entry form and contest rules are available at www.SaveOurSummerVacation.com. The contest is open to legal residents of the United States and Canada, excluding residents of Quebec, who are 21 years or older as of June 2, 2009 (for U.S. and District of Columbia residents), or the age of majority or older within the Canadian province in which they reside as of June 2, 2009 (for Canadian residents).

Brian's Blog: New Years Schmoo Years
Brian Gary Says, 'The World Needs You!'
I have been thinking a lot lately about the recent sentencing of Greeley gang leader Christopher Cox and it just kills me. Gangs disgust me more than just about anything. It makes me sick that so many people have children who are born with no hope. If you are not ready to take the time, effort and sacrifice to raise a child please do not have one.
Dos Rios Elementary Teacher Honored For Teacher Tuesday
Mrs. Eva Serrano is this week's Teacher Tuesday Winner. Mrs. Serrano is a 4th grade teacher at Dos Rios Elementary in Greeley! Brian Gary made the presentation yesterday. Drew from Star Painter Productions was there with his video camera.
Why Brian Gary Could Never Be A Victoria's Secret Runway Model
It looks like my career as a Victoria's Secret model is over before it begins. I was going to toss on a thong and some angel wings and hit the runway tonight for the fashion show but I am not willing to go do the diet plan they do before the show. Before I perform I usually like to eat a bacon sandwich so I don't get fatigued during my exhausting runway session but these ladies don't even eat a bacon bit before the show.
Top 5 Reasons the Broncos are Winning; Besides Tim Tebow
The Broncos win again! What a great team effort against the Chargers to pull out a 16-13 overtime victory. The Broncos are now 6-5 after a 1-4 start, going 5-1 since Tim Tebow has taken over the starting quarterback job. There is no secret that I am a Tebowmaniac. I love the way the guy plays the game. He is a true football warrior and has no doubt given this team a winning attitude but the success of the Broncos has been much more than Tebow.
Brian's Holiday Wish
I have a favor to ask this holiday season. I want you to make a vow with me to spread kindness and happiness. I think the world can be a mean and heartless place at times. It seems like we are all in such a hurry and stressed out from the daily grind that we forget what life is really all about. I firmly believe in the golden rule of treating people how I would want to be treated.
Brian's Letter To NBA Players
Dear NBA players, so the average salary is over $5 million a year to "play" basketball for 82 games a year, not work, not hammering, not paving roads, not teaching a room full of children, not figuring out a company payroll, not building a bridge but "playing" basketball. You think it's a bad deal? Are you that out of touch with the real world?
Brian Says God Bless Our Veterans
I have the greatest job in the world. I get to come in and play with my friends each day and play music and laugh. What a way to make a living. In the meantime there are men and women who are sleeping on dirt, in driving winds, in mud, in snow, in unbearable heat, in surroundings we couldn't dream of, defending our freedom and our country. They don't know us, have never met us but are willing to lay down their lives so we can live ours.
Brian Wishes Godzilla A Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday Godzilla! I remember when I was a kid I would get excited on weekends when they would show the old Godzilla movies. He was my first movie hero. I would cheer him on if he was battling King Kong ,Mothra ,Rodan or some other creature that looked like a giant bug or glob of goo
Brian Performing at Sundance Family Festival tonight
One of favorite things in the world is getting to be on stage doing stand-up comedy. I usually only do one show a year, our Habajeeba show, but I am doing it again tonight (Friday, October 21st) to help out the Fort Collins Senior Center. The weekend is the 2011 Sundance Family Festival and Chili Cook-off at the Fort Collins Senior Center, it benefits the senior center expansion initiative.
If You Missed The Habajeeba Show Friday Night
The sold-out Good Morning Guys Habajeeba Good Time Variety Happy Hour Comedy Show was Friday night at the Rialto Theatre in Loveland. It featured Brian and Todd, Susan Moore, Bob Purcell and the outriders, George Gray, Kenny Cordova, Berto, and Bradley Gaskin. If you missed the show, Todd's wife Jenny took some pictures and Drew from Star Painter Productions captured the evening on video.

Who is Koji Uehara?
Prior to this season, he was a nobody in most peoples' minds. He spent 2012 with the Texas Rangers and was a valuable bullpen arm, but this year was something altogether different.
At age 38, Uehara went 4-1 with a minuscule 1.09 earned run average, with most of these appearances coming after he inherited the vacant Red Sox closer's job mid-way through the campaign.
And boy, did he deliver. The right-hander picked up 21 saves during the rest of the regular season, striking out 101 batters in just 74 1/3 innings of work. averaging a career high of 12.2 K/9.
After playing a critical role in the Red Sox' bounce back season after their worst season in decades in 2012, Uehara stepped up again in the postseason.
He allowed just one run in three appearances in the ALDS, picking up two saves. In the American League Championship Series, Uehara was absolutely dominant, throwing six innings, finishing five of the six games in the series and notching nine strikeouts.
Before the champagne shower in the locker room at Fenway Park, the Neyagawa, Japan native was named the ALCS MVP, surrounded by teammates and family, with his now-famous grin plastered across his face.
Don't forget the name Koji Uehara. He may prove to be Boston's most valuable asset in the upcoming World Series.

I live near LottaFrutta, a popular Latin fruit and sandwich shop in Old Fourth Ward. Recently, they adjusted their opening hours from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., which has made my morning commutes to my day job a little less fulfilling. But hey, I guess the folks over there have been working pretty hard since they opened some years ago so I won't complain.
I like to pop in every now and then and get a guanabana smoothie (soursop, fruit from a tropical evergreen tree) or a cachito con huevo, one of my favorite breakfast items here in Atlanta.
The cachito con huevo is a small sandwich made with a sweetened palm-sized medianoche bread roll ("midnight", named after a late night Cuban sandwich), filled with cooked ham and cumin seasoned scrambled egg, and then flattened in a grooved press. It won't satisfy the biggest of appetites, but it's a great snack when you're on the run, or want a lighter alternative to a full breakfast.

The Rotary Club of Thunder Bay's annual Canada Day House Lottery is hitting the big stage in 2014.
On Thursday the service club said this year's draw will take place July 1 at Marina Park, breaking from tradition and the usual hotel conference room they've used in the past.
"We think that's going to be a very big event for us this year," said organizer Gordie Garriock, introducing this year's grand prize, a $459,000, 1,745 square foot, three-bedroom Sunflower Drive home.
Featuring a four-piece main bathroom and ensuite, granite countertops and hardwood floors, the home is the centrepiece in a draw that also features $50,000 worth of early-bird draws consisting of 10 $5,000 prizes.
Proceeds from the draw will benefit the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation, the second year of a five-year, $500,000 commitment they made to the hospital's ambitious $5.9 million Excellence in Cancer Care campaign goal.
"Partnership is a word we often throw around. But this truly is a partnership," said Health Sciences Foundation president and CEO Glenn Craig.
"We have stitched the two organizations together to make a huge success. We truly have one of the best facilities in Ontario and in all of Canada and it's thanks to groups like this."
Rotary president Richard Khoury aid their organization is all about giving back to the community. In its 28th year, the House Lottery has given close to $5 million since its inception.
Khoury said there have been bumps along the road, but he's confident the lottery will continue to grow.
"In past years it's been getting better and better," he said. "Last year was a record-setting year. We sold over 7,900 tickets."
He's confident the number can top 10,000 in 2014.
Tickets are available at a number of locations throughout Thunder Bay, include Balmoral Park Acura, J.B. Evans, the Best Western Nor'Wester Hotel, the Airlane Hotel, George's Market and George Jeffrey Children's Centre, who will also benefit from this year's draw.

Re: Perma-ban
I might be totally wrong here, but didn't Blizz give perma-bans to the members of that guild who used the wall-hack to skip AQ trash and get to C'Thun right away?
I remember reading that in an article about that and thought that that was a bit harsh, considering how they have temp-banned other guilds who have used exploits in raid-fights... but the AQ thing was years ago, so I guess their approach changed
Drakkenfyre said...
If you want to be a cynical bastard, you could say they didn't suspend them instead of banning because they weren't the big-name world first guilds of today. The ones with sponsorships, and the ones most people point to as examples of "top-end guilds". Those are the ones they give a little more leeway with. They are more in the public eye.
There are still things which will get you banned outright. Getting into GM Island is basically an instant ban if caught (it seems to vary. At one time it was instant-ban, others it's a suspension, then others instant-ban.) Emerald Dream is likely an instant ban. Hyjal/Old IF was usually a warning. Kiting raid bosses to cities could be a toss-up.
DragonFireKai said...
Yeah, Overrated, then the best Horde guild in the country, got perma banned for wallhacking. But Blizzard's been consistent on that front, if you get caught modifying the client files outside of the addon folder, you're toast.

The Coaching Room specialises in Executive Coaching and Training, Leadership & Management Coaching and Training for C-Suite Executives, new & current leaders and their organisations in Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart and Brisbane.
The Executive Coaching Problem
To date, executive coaching is an unregulated profession, this means anyone can call themselves an Executive Coach, hang out the coaching sign and hey presto, they are in business. This has been extremely useful in getting the executive coaching industry growing, yet it has not been successful in getting the industry moving forward productively.
Today there are many coaches and coaching companies offering their own brand of executive coaching that is actually anything but coaching. Today, you can get one-on-one mentoring, training, consulting, therapy, suggestion sessions and business advice all provided by an executive coach!
The only problem is that none of these services have anything to do with executive coaching.
Many of the C-suite Executives, HR Directors and Managers we talk with for the first time are often disgruntled or disillusioned with their experience and the results of executive coaching for themselves and their organisation. This is hardly surprising given the vast array of possible services one can receive under the banner of executive coaching.
Executive Coaching Defined
There are many ways to define executive coaching, yet it all comes down to this:
executive coaching is about facilitating, in a one-on-one setting, the resources, understanding, knowledge, skills and attitude of, or available to the coachee, to a pre-agreed outcome, through the process of asking facilitative questions.
This means that an executive coach does not have the answers you need, only the questions you need to hear. They will not give advice, only their focused attention.
An executive coach is a specialist in context and structure.
An executive coach is not there to help the executive with the past. They are there for the executive today and tomorrow. The coach's primary role is to facilitate the executive's leadership & management potential; to be the very best you can be as an executive!
Our executive coaching programmes cover 2 key areas with the executive.
These areas are discussed in detail and can be accessed by clicking on the links above.

Justin Bieber has outraged fans in Argentina by kicking their national flag while on stage.
Videos from a Buenos Aires concert show fans throwing two Argentine flags onto the stage, both of which land near the singer's feet.
Most musicians on world tours would be expected to hold up the flags as a mark of respect to their fans.
However, the footage shows Bieber trying to remove them from the stage by first kicking at them on the floor with his shoes.
The pop star then uses his microphone stand to sweep them off stage, one after the other, before jumping in the air and smiling.
Insulting Argentina's flag is a crime punishable in the country by up to four years in prison.

Buford offensive lineman Kolton Houston committed to Georgia before Saturday's G-Day, following in the footsteps of his father, former UGA football player Shane Houston. "Yes, I did," Houston told the AJC. "Georgia is the right fit for me and I can't wait to get here."
"It's a great honor to be a Bulldog and I can't wait to play in front of 92,000 people 'Between the Hedges.'"
The 6-foot-5, 270-pound Houston selected Georgia over around 15 offers, including Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Clemson, Auburn, Florida State, and Michigan State.
Houston has a lot of red and black in his blood. His father was a backup linebacker at Georgia in the late 1980s. Both of Kolton's parents attended UGA.
Despite the family connections, Houston was a good catch for the Bulldogs. Kolton had started looking seriously at other schools because Georgia was taking longer than competing colleges with his evaluation. However, everything changed when Georgia's Mark Richt finally offered Houston two weeks ago at spring practice.
Georgia jumped to the top of Houston's wishlist, and after thinking about it over the last two weeks, Houston gave Richt the news on Saturday.

Kolton is good, but Gwinnett County, as usual, is LOADED

Lesson: Synesthesia and the Musical Mind
November 15, 2011 at 7:51pm
Oops, you're right. Damn, I'll ask GW to fix that typo. I should have said "The notes of the D Minor pentatonic are olive, rust, burned umber, goldenrod and vermillion."
November 15, 2011 at 9:29pm
Ha, good one! Personally I would go with cool grey, topaz blue, metallic green, wheat and orange.
November 15, 2011 at 6:37pm
This is a pretty cool article, and I think I have a mild case of synesthesia too. For example, every time I hear a diminished 7th arpeggio I "see" a copper-colored 'wave' in my mind's eye. I also used the analogy of different scales and modes having different colors when I tried explaining the idea to a friend.
I do have one spot of confusion though: You wrote "To translate this back to a musical example, the notes of the D Minor Pentatonic scale - D, F, G, A, B - are also contained within the C Major scale (C, D, E, F, G, A, B)"
--- Aren't the notes of D min pentatonic (1, b3, 4, 5, b7) actually (D, F, G, A, C)?
Aside from that one point, the rest of what you wrote makes sense to me. Thanks for an interesting post.

Equilibrium existence in an overlapping generations model with altruistic preferences
AbstractWe prove the existence of a competitive equilibrium in an overlapping generations model in which each generation has a preference ordering over its own and its descendents' consumptions. The model is one of pure exchange with many goods in each period and two period lived generations. The bequest from one generation to the next is required to be non-negative and is endogenous. In equilibrium, some sequences of agents of successive generations may be continually "linked" by positive bequests and act as infinitely lived agents. Other sequences of agents may not be so linked and therefore behave as sequences of finite lived agents. We give three examples which illustrate the following points: (i) multiple equilibria may exist some of which resemble those of standard overlapping generations models, whereas in others some sequences of agents behave as if infinitely lived, (ii) multiple steady states of the above two types may exist in which the latter are unstable and the former are stable, and (iii) if agents have preferences given by discounted sums of utilities with different discount rates, then not all sequences of generations can be continually linked and hence behave as infinitely lived agents.

Americans have never had more choices when it comes to drinking outstanding specialty teas. I regularly visit tearooms in every part of the country that offer 50 to 150 teas. Restaurants, tearooms, and retail shops everywhere are stocking a mind-spinning array of teas of every variety—blacks, greens, whites, oolongs, tisanes, and herbals.
With so many selections from which to choose, how does the tea novice sort through all the infusion confusion and begin a tea collection at home? The following suggestions will help ensure that your tea experiences at home are superb.
The Well-Stocked Tea Caddy
What are the basic teas that should be found in every kitchen cupboard? Here are nine choices that cover all the tea families and most every tea preference.
Assam: Dark and malty, these Indian teas from the Assam region are great for breakfast and hold up well to the addition of milk. Look for a tippy grade if you want a lighter tea. Good for all-day consumption.
Darjeeling: The northernmost Indian state of Darjeeling grows one of the most prized teas in the world. Look for top grade first flush or second flush (flush means new growth). This tea brews copper red liquor with distinctive muscatel overtones. It is the perfect afternoon tea because it can accompany any food.
Ceylon: Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) is the largest exporter of tea in the world. They produce exceptional teas with full body. Some of todays best Ceylon teas have high bud content. Ask for a tippy grade for a memorable drinking experience.
Ti Kwan Yin: This is one of the best-known oolongs (sometimes known as Iron Goddess of Mercy). Taiwan (Formosa) has the best reputation—and highest prices—for this category. These earthy teas are best made in an iron or clay teapot.
Lung Ching: This classic green tea is from the Chinese village of Dragon Well. Its flat leaves and buds produce emerald liquor that is light and delicious with sweetness akin to newly mown hay.
Sencha: In Japanese culture, Sencha is the prevalent tea. The first harvest (ichiban-cha), now mechanically harvested, has a softer, more delicate character than the second harvest.
Silver Needle: This is the highest-quality white tea made from the unopened buds of the best tea bushes. It brews delicate liquor with a honey-sweet aroma. Now produced in China, India, and Sri Lanka, it is one of the world's most expensive teas. Be sure to share it with friends who will appreciate its distinct characteristics!
Rooibos (or red bush): Rooibos is an herbal tisane that is completely caffeine-free because it contains no tea leaves. Made from the leaves of a bush grown only in South Africa, it is high in antioxidants and vitamins. For added flavor, look for blends made with lemongrass or spices.
Strawberry-Kiwi: For those who cannot tolerate caffeine, this tisane is an all-fruit infusion. It has an appealing color and an aroma that make it the perfect drink for children's tea parties or late-night refreshment.
How much will all these teas cost? Your investment could be less than $100. How much is the experience of serving exceptional tea worth to you? The conversations and friendships encouraged over a cup of tea are sure to be priceless.

Why is anyone surprised by Murdoch's activity in this situation? He's been making a living by acquiring/takeovers of moderate and conservative newspapers and turning them into liberal platforms since the late 1960's. (For example read: Ron Chernow's, "House of MOrgan"). Look at what he's done to the Wall Street Journal.
