Humble Beginnings
On the night of December 19th in 1989, I was born, and it was good.
From there my mother and I moved around a lot. It was just the two of us because my father left for the Gulf War, and they split up. We finally settled in when she met the man I have called "dad" my entire life, in the small town of Oskaloosa, IA.
This relationship was destined to end as well, and my mother and I moved again. This time eventually settling down in the small town of New Virgina 6 years later. She had met a new guy named Royce. Me and him got along well enough to live together. It is in this small town that I graduated high school and decided to enroll at Iowa State University in Ames, IA. It is also the town that I met a girl, her name is Amanda. I only mention her because her and I have been dating for just over two years now (when this article was written), and since I am not yet even 20 years old, this is a significant portion of my "adult" life.
Over the years my views have changed, my taste has changed, and even my voice has changed. Although a lot has happened, I'm happy with all the decisions I have made, since if I hadn't made them, things would be different.
So in conclusion, here I am attending Iowa State, I've been in, what I feel to be, a healthy relationship for a couple years, and I'm generally happy with the way things have turned out.

So I Read Today… Aquaman #7 (Vol.5)
Back when the new 52 started I told you all to keep an eye for this book. Sales-wise I don't know how it's been doing, but I have to say that not even a single number has let me down so far, in this issue we get to see again for the first time, Aquaman's Nemesis: Black Manta. This guy is bad ass and he means business, he's not fucking around. While gathering the relics of Atlantis, he defeats Kahina The Seer a girl with the ability to see the immediate future. Before taking her life away he tells her exactly what it's going to happen to every living being she holds dear.
Meanwhile Aquaman is still doing his best to help out his fellow man and trying to get to the bottom of the mystery of "The Others". He goes for the help of Dr. Shin a man obsessed with Atlantis and willing to make a pact with the devil if it means finding the secret location of a place he's been devoted for most of his working life. As the discussion between Arthur and the Doctor goes on, an assassin named Ya'Wara appears before them to kill Dr. Shin since she's pretty sure he's the one selling "The Others" to Black Manta. Who is this group?, What does Aquaman and Black Manta has to do with them? To be revealed in future editions!
Aquaman is one of the most solid books coming out of the DCnU right now and if you are not reading it, you are losing some of the best stories out there, a solid script, amazing artwork and overall, one of the single greatest comic books published right now. Go for it and thanks me later!
This is pretty recent but it's an amazing moment. As I stated in an early review Aquaman has emerged as a powerhouse in the DCnU, not only is he royalty, he's also a fast talking strategist with tons of combat experience and a chip on his shoulder the size of Alaska. His first impression of the team is best left said by his choice of words to them when they first meet:
As proper introductions are made, The King of The Sea explains to the League how the invading forces of Parademons are destroying his kingdom, he's the first to acknowledge the fact that they are together to fight the invasion, something that no one on the recently formed team had noticed.
Aquaman is not there to waste time. Displaying a No-nonsense attitude, he begins to lay out a strategy to fight what he believes is the center point of the invasion, but find opposition in Hal Jordan, The Green Lantern who chews him off and dismiss him, reminding the king that he's not under sea anymore and he's not a fish he can boss around.
Jordan goes as far as asking the King what the hell he's supposed to do regarding about his powers, pointing out all the comical references made about him in pop culture and pointing out the abilities of his recent partners who have more than enough power to lead.
A swarm of Parademons appears before the team as Jordan ceases his little rant. Aquaman, who never lost his cool during the little confrontation let's his actions speak for him.
Using his natural telepathic abilities he commands the life of the undersea, to take care of the problem for him, the next few panels prove that the king his here to kick some ass and take some names!
Aquaman shuts Jordan's mouth who can only deliver a "Never mind" after such an amazing display. The King has arrived!

You want to know why Aquaman is a Bad Ass? click on the image and learn TEN reasons why this guy is a powerhouse in the DC Universe!
So I Read Today… Aquaman #1 (Vol.5)
This is it, of all the new 52, this is the book I was expecting the most (laugh if you want now). Aquaman has been regarded as a joke for too long in the DC Universe and it's something that hasn't gone under noticed to the King Of Atlantis himself. This new beginning for Arthur Curry is a great jumping point for new readers curious about the character. It gives exactly the kind of insight you are expecting from a guy who is regarded as a laughing stock, The fact is that he's nothing more than pure badass and attitude about it.
Aquaman is guy who people regards as "the guy who talks to fish" but in the span of six pages we learn that this guy is super-strong, he's impervious to damage and he doesn't has to be near water to kick ass. In the rest of the book we also learn that just because he can guide sea life to do his will he's not above having humans cravings and eating of the sea life he commands if he's hungry. We also learn he does have a temper and stands very little human curiosity regarding his personal life or the reasons to do what he does. We are reminded that he's royalty, the he works the human economy one piece of gold at the time, he's also married to a very beautiful woman who loves him and stands by him no matter what. The threat? It does show his ugly face in here for a couple of minutes, but It'll come next issue, and that suits me just fine.
I have to say that Aquaman was exactly the kind of book I was expecting it to be. It's a fun read, Geoff Johns has hit another home run, one that I expect to soar for a long time, the beautiful art of Ivan Reis, Joe Prado and Rod Reis compliments one of the most solid packages the New DC Universe has to offer, as a fan I have a long time waiting for a good creative team to do right by Aquaman, for me this is it!. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did!

High Jumpers
By Leah Duran
While strolling through an Arizona meadow, scan the ground for small, matted chutes of grass that signal runways, or escape routes, used by voles and other rodents to elude predators. When chased by hawks, owls and foxes, the Southern red-backed vole will scurry or hop along runways, jumping as high as 8 inches to clear obstacles.
The Southern red-backed vole is named for a rust-colored stripe that stretches across its back from head to tail. Gray or white fur frames its face and feet and thickens when winter arrives.
Voles remain active year-round, mainly at night, and dine with the seasons. Spring courses include grasses and leaves, while summer adds berries. Voles eat seeds and nuts in the fall, and switch to fungus and, occasionally, tree bark in the winter.
Forests and wet areas near marshes or streams across the state are prime habitats for voles, which nest under logs and brush or in burrows abandoned by other animals. Females give birth to two to eight young up to three times during their yearlong lifespan. Young voles are ready to reproduce after only three months.

** AJW also announced that they will run the 5,000-seat Ota Ward Gym in Tokyo on 7/6.
Josh Dempsey is expected to work the 5/19-5/23 part of the ZERO-ONE 2002 Genesis tour. The 5/19-5/23 tour will have Tom Howard, The Predator, Evolution (Nova & Frankie Kazarian), along with Steve Corino and Quinn Magnum (Jim Miller's son-in-law), who is the NWA North American champion. Shinjiro Ohtani vs. Yuki Ishikawa was added for the promotion's 4/27 Osaka City Central Gym Sub-Arena show. ZERO-ONE is now officially trying to create the faction stables in their promotion amongst the foreigner groups. Rick Bassman and Jim Miller were asked for quotes putting over their respective promotions and then bashing (angle) the "enemy" promotion. ZERO-ONE wants to do the same thing with Ring Warriors & Dusty Rhodes, but I have a feeling that it won't happen. Concerning the Genesis tour (4/27 to 5/3), all the shows are selling lukewarm in terms of advanced ticket sales and unless something picks up, there's going to be some half-empty buildings.
The PRIDE 20 show (headlined by Vanderlei Silva vs. Mirko Filipovic) is virtually sold out with the exception of 25,000-yen floor seats.
News on K-1's Middleweights show on 5/11 at Nippon Budokan... all 20,000-yen front row and 8,000-yen top 2nd level seats are sold out. The 12,000-yen floor and 6,000-yen cheap seats are still available in big numbers.
According to Ticketmaster-J, the numbers in their database versus the claims being made by New Japan officials regarding ticket sales is contradictory. Ticketmaster-J numbers claim that the 30,000-yen Arena A front row seats (there are no true 50,000-yen seats) are selling at a 50% clip, with Stand C (the cheapest seats in the bleachers) seats at 3,000 yen a piece all sold out. However, virtually all of the Arena-B 15,000 yen floor seats along with the Stand A 10,000-yen & Stand B 5,000-yen seats are not selling strongly at all. In regards to the upcoming New Japan "Inoki-ism Big Fight Series" (4/16 Korakuen to 4/29 Nagasaki), virtually all the shows are not sold out and tickets have sold at a 50% clip. Strong walk-ups will be needed for any sell-outs outside Korakuen.
In a surprising announcement, ARSION announced (mainly Hiroshi Ogawa & Michiko Ohmukai - unbelievably) that Yuu Yamagata had been fired from the company due to what they claimed was "bad behavior." Ohmukai claimed that Yamagata was undisciplined and that her actions created the situation. Ohmukai is now calling herself "the chairwoman of the wrestlers." In the release to the media, there had undertones from ARSION management that Yamagata was involved with "psycho-stimulants" which created the problems. ARSION even went further with their "dismissive tone" when they claimed that Yamagata was tarnishing the company's image. When Ayako Hamada was in ARSION, Yuu Yamagata was one of her understudies. With Hamada out of ARSION, any allies of Hamada are now long gone from ARSION.
New Japan ran their April 16th rally at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, claiming 1,438 paid. Results:
1. Osamu Nishimura defeated Blue Wolf in 8 minutes, 29 seconds with a Japanese Leg-Roll Clutch.
2. El Samurai defeated Shane (ex-WWC) in 5 minutes, 1 second with a La Magistral cradle.
3. Danny Devine defeated Hiro Saito in 6 minutes, 35 seconds with a double-arm screw suplex.
4. Rick Steiner defeated Tatsutoshi Goto in 5 minutes, 30 seconds with a death valley bomb.
5. In an elimination match, Jadoh, Gedoh, Black Tiger, & Koji Kanemoto defeated Masahito Kakihara, Masayuki Naruse, Minoru Tanaka, & Jushin Liger.
- Naruse over Tiger in 9 minutes, 35 seconds with the Crazy Cyclone.
- Kanemoto over Naruse in 10 minutes, 25 seconds with a moonsault press.
- Kanemoto over Kakihara in 14 minutes, 46 seconds with a Tiger Suplex Hold.
- Tanaka over Kanemoto in 25 minutes, 41 seconds with a high-kick.
- Jadoh over Tanaka in 5 minutes, 37 seconds later with the cross-face.
6. Yuji Nagata & Tadao Yasuda defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi & Kensuke Sasaki in 13 minutes, 40 seconds when Nagata used a back-drop suplex hold on Tanahashi for the win.
7. Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Masa Chono defeated Yutaka Yoshie & Manabu Nakanishi in 21 minutes, 33 seconds when Tenzan used a TTD (Tenzan Tombstone Driver) on Yoshie for the win.
ZERO-ONE announced brand-new revised line-ups for their upcoming Genesis 2002 tour (4/27 Osaka to 5/3 Matsuyama). Revised line-ups:

Atsushi Onita made public threats against former FMW boss Shoichi Arai. Onita says that he has heard rumors of Arai writing a "tell-all book" about the history of FMW from the first day of its creation in 1989 until the last day of bankruptcy in 2002. Onita said that Arai should fear for his safety due to a lot of political things Arai did to wrestlers, including bailing out on hospital payments for Hayabusa's medical care in Tokyo.

Unsolved Crime: The Original Night StalkerPosted by Tom Coppell | Unsolved Crimes
During the Summer of 1976, in California, a number of people turned up dead at the hands of a serial killer dubber by the media as "The Original Night Stalker". To this day, this killer has not been caught. He was mimicked by a man who was dubbed "The Night Stalker", but he was caught by law enforcement and sentenced to death for his crimes.
It all started with a number of rapes being reported to police, and the rest is history. A history of a clever and ruthless killer previously referred to as "The East Area Rapist". He attacked people (raped women) in their homes when they were sleeping by slipping into their bedrooms, subduing them, and tying them up.
There was spike in gun sales, and a spike in the security industry when The Original Night Stalker was at large and the victim count continued to grow. At that time, he was already past the 25 victim mark. He also followed media reports on his crimes as well as law enforcement press releases and adjusted his crimes. In one case, the police reported that he doesn't attack women who have a man in the home, then, during his next rape, he targeted a married woman and raped her while her husband was home.
He would also enjoy his victim's food and take souvenirs from their homes. He always wore gloves making it impossible to collect to fingerprints. Also, his semen didn't include blood making him a non-secreter.
Elsewhere on the Web: Who is he? The Original Night Stalker killed 13 and raped 50 but was never caught
He then moved to homicide offenses and left in his trail a number of dead victims.
If you have any information about the "Original Night Stalker Crimes" contact the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department.

What Is Attachment Parenting?
The Roots of Attachment Parenting
At the root of attachment parenting lies attachment theory. Attachment theory stems from psychologist John Bowlby's studies of maternal deprivation and animal behavior research in the early 1950s.
Attachment theory says an infant instinctively seeks closeness to a secure "attachment figure." This closeness is necessary for the infant to feel safe emotionally as well as for food and survival. Early animal studies found that baby primates preferred a warm, terry-cloth "mother" doll over a wire doll that dispensed food but lacked warmth.
Attachment parenting is based on the idea that babies learn to trust and thrive when their needs are consistently met by a caregiver early in life. Children who never experience this secure attachment early in life, according to proponents, don't learn to form healthy attachments later in life. They suffer from insecurity, lack of empathy, and, in extreme cases, anger and attachment disorders.
More recent attachment theory is based on research into different styles of attachment in both children and adult romantic relationships. This includes secure, avoidant, ambivalent, and disorganized attachment.
Early attachment theory proposed a finite "critical period" from six months to two or three years. During this critical period, children need to form secure attachments with a parent or other consistent caregiver. Prior to six months, most infants respond equally happily to well-meaning strangers as to their parents. At six or seven months, babies begin showing signs of separation anxiety when parents leave them. The specific behaviors at being "abandoned" are thought to indicate the child's attachment style.
An Updated Look at Attachment Parenting
Sears is the pediatrician who popularized attachment parenting. He has streamlined its principles into what he calls the "7 Baby B's" or "Attachment Tools":
- Birth bonding. Sears acknowledges that the now-or-never idea of attachment doesn't hold true. Adopted children, foster kids, and infants in intensive care can all learn to form healthy relationships as adults later in life.
- Breastfeeding. While still advocated, breastfeeding is now understood to benefit a mother as well as a baby. It does this by producing increased levels of her "bonding" hormones, prolactin and oxytocin.
- Baby-wearing. Sears focuses on "baby-wearing" to promote attachment, frequent touch, and parents' sensitivity to an infant's cues of needs.
- Bedding close to baby. While Sears still advises sleeping close to babies, his attachment parenting model more fully acknowledges the need for parents to get a good night's sleep.
- Belief in the language-value of your baby's cry. Sears' attachment parenting model strongly advises parents to respond to their babies' cries and not let babies "cry it out."
- Beware of baby trainers. Sears continues to discredit what he calls "convenience" parenting. Convenience parenting, he says, puts a parent's ease and convenience above an infant's feeding cues or emotional bonding needs. An example might be parent-scheduled feedings.
- Balance. Sears' advice on attachment parenting still includes strong advice to parents to balance parenting, marriage, and their own health and emotional needs.

Isn't it so cute when your kid labors, crayon in hand, over their letter to Santa? Such an adorable keepsake, perfect for storing away to revisit some year in the future when you can look back on the simpler times of—wait a second, that fourth item down ... did he just write IPAD?
What do you do when your kid asks for a gift there's no way in hell he's going to get? After all, some presents simply fall outside the boundaries of what we're willing or able to pay for, or they might be age-inappropriate, or they might require 27 "D" batteries in order to produce their hideous migraine-inducing level of loud electronic noises.
While it may be tempting to laugh yourself sick over his request while repeatedly slapping your knee and shouting, "I KNOW YOU'RE ONLY 5 BUT ARE YOU HIGH?"—here are three alternative approaches to gently resetting your child's gift expectations:
Lie with no integrity whatsoever. "Sure, honey, that newest Xbox sure looks like fun, but did you know each gaming console is actually filled with giant albino scorpions? Yeah, it's been happening at the factory. They're extra gross and creepy because of their freaky red eyes. Apparently they're nocturnal, so they typically escape at night and I guess they have huge poisonous stingers. It's so weird that all your friends who have an Xbox haven't mentioned this; it's been all over the news."
Lie with good intentions. "Sweetie, Santa can't bring every single toy on your list, that's just not how Santa works. He spends time thinking about what gifts are best for each and every family, and he will do his very best to make sure you have a wonderful Christmas. I know you want that limited edition Millennium Falcon, but you should understand that it costs $800 and Santa can't spend that much on every single boy and girl. Can we talk about some of the other toys you've been thinking of?"
Tell the truth—and reshape the conversation. For most kids, no matter how much we may try to drive home the broader holiday message of spending time with family, enjoying cherished traditions, and the joy of giving, the best part of Christmas is often the presents. Specifically, the ones with their names on them.
Still, kids don't need much to be delighted, and no parent should feel pressured into blowing their budget just to buy the latest and greatest whatever-it-is. Even young children need to learn the lesson that no one gets everything they want all the time. Every holiday season is a perfect opportunity to teach our children that the holidays are about love and helping others more than agonizing over wish lists. Who knows—as your kids grow up, something like a family outing to pick out toys for a charity may create memories that last longer than that iPad was ever going to.
How do you deal with holiday gift requests you can't fulfill?

Oh so happy that my children are still in the action figures/movie watching stage. I imagine when Ethan starts going to Kindergarten, I'll start fielding the more ridiculous Christmas requests.
And then I will tell him about the scorpions. Thank you for that.
my five year old wanted a $300 swing set from Santa. After I asked her how Santa could fit it in the sleigh, she thought about it and asked for a play doh set instead. Score one for mom!
Last yr one of my sons who was 5 asked for a $400 lego set. I told him that Santa has to pay for those materials for the elves to make the toys and his limit is $100. So if he really really wanted it than he wouldn't get another Christmas present from Santa for 4 yrs! Lol, he picked out something else :)
This yr my oldest want a lego set that cost 140. He remembered the talk I had with his little brother last yr. So his solution was to send his hard earned savings(0.50 a day for picking up dog poo) to mail to Santa that 40 that went over the limit.
I'm glad was of appropriate age as all the cellphones and expensive "toys" were created!
When he would ask for something outrageous (of which there were many each year), I think I just told him Santa will probably pick one big gift and left it at that.
We even handled the "hey Santa has the same wrapping paper what's up with that!?" debate by telling him Santa asks parents whether they want him to use something different or the same. Works for every family!
MMbales I like your suggestion, going to tuck that one away for later. Also, I like what Rhonda and Lynette said. It's never too early to teach them the value of a dollar!
One year my daughter asked for something for Christmas that I felt was too expensive.. I think it was the Lego Taj Mahal .. I told her that it was too much and we couldn't aford it. Her response was "That's ok, I'll just ask Santa for it".

I was lucky enough to find and cultivate a love of economics five or six years before Freakonomics or The Tipping Point became influential books. I was initially very annoyed that the elegant and often very simple rules of the dismal science had become so accessible. I am not sure why I was so troubled. I should have been ecstatic that so many were paying attention. The old school guard was all too happy to lap up the praise that the fairest pursuit of knowledge very fairly garners our predecessors. Clever folks were standing on the shoulders of great men and telling us that pimps pay efficiency wages or that owning a house made you much more likely to be unemployed. However, the Economist today finally gave me a short and very quotable phrase for why I was so troubled with Pop-Economics: "File this under probably true but unhelpful."6 years ago
So folks, it's that time again. Yes, it's been a full 7 years since our last recession. I remember my high school mock stock portfolio completely tanking during the last one. I find recessions insanely interesting for several reasons (1) My life has never been directly affected by one and thus I am able to remain a dispassionate observer, and (2) they are thought to be between 40% and 60% self fulfilling prophecies. The latter point is confusing to a lot of people. Yes, there is some wicked subprime shit going down. No, the geniuses behind pets.com never actually tried to make any money. That, however, should not necessarily impact Asian markets. Though the U.S. demand makes up the biggest single demand for Kias and Samsung TVs, it's still only 8% of the total. There were some commentators who believed that there would not be global effects to this uniquely American fuck up. Then the markets opened Monday and tanked. However, I remain optimistic about the future. Here are some reasons to keep your spirits up in these moderately tough times.
