When it comes to your doctor and your yearly medical exam, don't ever be afraid to ask questions.
Gone are the days when people stayed away from the doctor until a medical condition became unbearable. Today, the key is to to talk with your doctor and have any concerns checked early, which saves grief, saves on the cost of medical care and helps all of us to lead healthier, happier lives.
It's recommended by health experts that an annual visit be had to your primary care physician. During that test, you should have a head-to-toe check up at least once a year, paying close attention to normal levels and readings.

REGULAR?CHECKups, like physicals, dental cleanings and eye exams, are an important part of your health case regiment.
Many of these measurements, in combination, can be indicative of serious diseases and conditions. What may seem to be mild symptoms can oftentimes be caught in the early stages to reduce the extent and intensity of conditions. The basic check up consists of gathering vital signs - blood pressure, heart rate, pulse and temperature. Other parts of the exam may be general appearance observations, or the doctor paying attention to items such as dermatological problems, sensory motor skills, and cognition. If you stay with one doctor for consecutive years or visits, it allows that medical professional a more educated chance to notice these changes from year to year, or even changes that happen in smaller increments.
More tests are being suggested, though not completed by all doctors, as more research become available on a handful of new topics. Heart and lung exams are becoming more extensive, as both conditions become more of an epidemic in the midst of obesity and tobacco use.
The primary care doctor also now can handle many of the tests one used to have to go to the hospital for: an EKG, for example, can now be done at the doctor's office to assess heart health.
As we all begin to age, it vital to keep track of the problems going on with our bodies, so we can catch the slightest abnormality before it becomes a problem that gets out of hand, sometimes saving a life.
As cancer and heart disease top the charts as epidemics, it is critical that attention be paid to the prevention and screening for both problems. Obesity and health decision making initiatives have started to gain steam in school systems in the past decade, promoting physical activity and healthier food consumption. That won't be enough though, it's going to take a coordinated effort from society to curb these staggering trends. It all starts with one person though - yourself.

STEUBENVILLE - It's not too early for Pittsburgh Pirates fans to begin thinking about the 2013 season and the annual Community Day sponsored by the Herald-Star and The Weirton Daily Times.
This year's trip will be to the July 13 game against the New York Mets in PNC Park.
The tradition of local baseball fans taking a bus from the Herald-Star parking lot to a Pirates game will be similar to previous trips with one exception - this will be the only scheduled trip all season, according to Cindy Kotsch, special projects and events coordinator for the Herald-Star and Weirton Daily Times.
"This will probably be the only bus trip we take this year," said Kotsch. "We will have five buses going, and we will leave the (Herald-Star parking lot) about 4:30 p.m.
There also will be tickets available for those who want to drive (to the game)."
The cost is $55 for those who wish to drive and $65 for those taking the bus, said Kotsch. Included in that cost is a game ticket in the all-you-can-eat section.
"It will be a Saturday night game," said Kotsch, adding the trip comes with loads of goodies for fans, including a Roberto Clemente commemorative jersey and a chance in a drawing to determine which lucky fan will either change the bases after the third inning or deliver the lineup card.
"There also will be fireworks after the game," Kotsch continued. "(At PNC Park) those going will be able to get all they want to eat from the opening of the gates through the last pitch. That includes hamburgers, hot dogs, nachos, ice cream sandwiches, sodas, peanuts, popcorn and pretzels."
Kotsch said she expects tickets to go fast, and they will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
Those with credit cards can call Diana Brown, at (740) 283-4711 to purchase a ticket or stop by the Herald-Star front desk - 401 Herald Square - from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

I'd definitely be into such a service. Would love to know whenever Neil Gaiman or Chuck Palahniuk come out with something new.
I do not use it but let us know how it works.
Here is some more info:
www.Goodreads.com lets you know of new releases each month, and if you set it in email preferences, it could include only authors you have read. They also inform you of books coming out in your favorite genre. It is a great site to keep track of what you have read and want to read.
Great question! Thanks.
I'm signed up with Simon and Schuster and they alert me when new Stephen King books are available.
@xarous: It's probably just me, but I find Goodreads a difficult site to navigate through. There's a lot there that I don't want.
I go to Goodreads when I want a link to share a book but it is very full of information; I find myself ignoring the email updates. But they do send them.
Most publishers' web sites will let you sign up for "author alert" emails. I have a few set up at Tor (http://us.macmillan.com/torforge/BrowseByAuthor/C), Simon and Schuster (http://authors.simonandschuster.com/).
Many authors have their own web sites and mailing lists as well. Some Googling should turn up the relevant sites.
wwww.authortracker.com but I think that only works for HarperCollins.
Wow, all these cool sites!
Here I was thinking just like them on FB or somesuch.
@caffeine_dude: /Thanks for the link. I'm going to register on this one. I think it's going to be close to what I'm looking for.

Because of the fiber content, plant-based diets may produce healthier stools and lead to larger bowel movements, which is important for the prevention of a number of medical conditions. Interestingly, antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables appear to increase stool size independent of fiber. Furthermore, plant-based diets may facilitate healthy gut flora (which may positively contribute to weight loss). This includes most plant foods such as dragon fruit—even nuts, seeds, and popcorn, which apparently lower diverticulitis risk.. A plant-based diet may be helpful in both the prevention and treatment of colon cancer. The fiber in whole plant foods allows the body to excrete excess estrogen, which may help prevent breast cancer. Intestinal transit time—how long it takes food to get from one end to the other—may be one of the determinants of cancer risk. Particularly protective foods include berries (especially organic strawberries), flax, broccoli (see also here), amla (Indian gooseberries), black beans, coffee, a few herbal varieties of tea, carob, and apples. On the other hand, total meat consumption has been associated with higher rates of colon cancer, in particular cooked muscle tissueand processed meat. Meat contains the pro-inflammatory compound arachidonic acid and may also be contaminated the toxic megacolon superbug C. Diff and potentially cancer-causing wart viruses. Cheese containing cheese skipper larvae (a type of maggot) may cause colon infections and certain types of fish may cause greasy orange rectal leakage. Finally, gluten, while healthy for most people, needs to be eliminated from the diets of those with celiac disease. Folic acid in pill form could be harmful as well.

Why can I open a bag of potato Chips and not rip toilet paper?
Sign up

A discussion about opening a bag of potato chips, according to various poskim, can be found on the YUTorah.org website. A related discussion by Rabbi Dovid Ostroff regarding tearing toilet paper is also available.
From the first link:
If we take this first reason, we can understand why it would not apply to toilet paper. It is not batel. I'm uncertain about how it differs given the other two reasons.
You ARE allowed to rip toilet paper, but only as long as you do not rip from the perforated lines on the toilet paper. I think that the problem from ripping the paper at the perforation is that it constitutes measuring, which is a melacha. I don't know the source of this answer, it's just what I heard from a couple orthodox Rabbis.
there is a leniency that you are allowed to tear for the purpose of eating food so long as you destroy the vessel (and not tear letters!!). i believe you must tear the bag in a way that makes it unusable

Last week, area republicans had a pre-election party at their headquarters to rally support for their candidates in the final days before the election. Today the democrats threw their pre-canvassing kick-off early this morning. Although it looked like a party here this morning, it's still too soon for a celebration on either side. Both say there's still work to be done.
"I am going to be knocking on doors, campaigning right up until the polls close," said 20th District Kentucky State Representative Candidate Regina Webb.
"We have a full-blown campaign for the next whatever it takes, 30...40 hrs," said Rep. Jody Richards.
Both candidates and party volunteers are taking to the streets, and you'll see them out posting signs and knocking on doors all day and into the morning.
"I have literally walked for three and a half months, but I have really enjoyed it, but I've met alot of people and renewed alot of friendships," said Rep. Richards.
Enjoying the opportunity to speak with voters is something they can agree on.
"Meeting alot of people... that's my favorite part of it... getting out, meeting the voters, and finding out what their needs are," said Webb.
Both sides say the feedback they've received from phone calls and canvassing makes them confident.
"Democrats, republicans and independents have said they are for us, and I feel good about that," said Rep. Richards.
"If I win tomorrow night, like I think I'm going to, I'm ready to start not January, but Wednesday," said Webb.
Richards and Webb say their main goal today and tomorrow is not just "getting out the vote," but getting people to actually go out and vote, because now it's not just your support they need, but your ballot.

I'm about to uninstall the D3 public beta and install the pre-release download. Is there any overlap in files (that I'd be deleting and re-downloading)? If so, what do I need to do? I'd prefer to preserve the bandwidth, if possible.
AS @Krazer said in the comment of your question.
And Bashiok in his Twitter.
And in this answer I say all files that are on MAC. And there is a file that saves your preferences called D3Prefs.txt the location is: /Application Support/Blizzard/Diablo III
But as @Bashiok said in his Twitter, the beta is different from the retail version, besides, all your champions and preferences are gonna be reset. So you don't need save any files. And if you did, they are useless to the retail version.
(You asked the question of the answer that I linked above, so I'm assuming you could use this path better than a windows one. But you can find those files on windows too (some of them at least))

What is the benefit of using a Capo versus just playing in a different key without one? In other words, why not just transpose the song and play it in the desired key without the capo?
The capo allows you to play open chords/notes from wherever you have barred the neck. And gives you access to certain voicing not easily achievable in a particular key otherwise.
And thats about it really.
If you are playing with a singer who can only sing in a certain key range, then capos can become invaluable. They essentially let you shift the key of a song up or down (depending on the singer's range) without having to relearn the actual chords of the song that you play.
An example of this would be in 'The Smiths.' Johnny Marr would regularly capo his guitar up a full tone from E to F# to accommodate Morrissey's vocal range.
Charts such as the one below are also useful, because capos can also be used to provide different voicings to chords, giving the progression a different sound when played, which in some situations is exactly what is needed in a song.
There are a variety of situations when a using a capo is beneficial
Capos can also be used to replace tough chords with easier ones for beginners. For example, the song With or Without You by U2 contains the progression D A Bm G. With a capo on the second fret the progression becomes C G Am F which may be easier for a newbie to play.
It is common for 12-string players to tune down and capo up to reduce tension on the neck. Beyond that, acoustic guitars benefit from open, ringing strings more than electrics, so you might capo up to maximize the number of open strings ringing at one time.
In can also be helpful on cheap guitars with poor action to lower the strings toward the fretboard and make the guitar easier on th fingers to play.
Many guitar purist eschew the use of a capo and frown on it as a device similar to training wheels for beginning cyclists. While you can in fact play any song in any key on a guitar without a capo (by transposing) there are several ways that a capo can make any guitarist life much easier.
First what is a capo?
A capo can be used on just about any stringed fretted instrument such as a guitar, mandolin, banjo, bass guitar, and others and is simply a device that clamps over the neck of the instrument and holds the strings down on the fret you place it behind - thereby shortening the scale and changing the pitch of the instrument.
It has the effect of raising the pitch by one semitone times the number of the fret the capo is placed behind. Thus if placed behind the first fret (capo 1) it raises all the notes and chords one semitone. All notes would be sharpened by one semitone if fingered using the assumption that the capo is now the nut and the second fret (first fret past the capo) is now the first fret. Placing the capo behind the 2nd fret (capo 2) would raise the pitch by two semitones – and so on.
But why use a capo?
There are actually many different reasons a guitarist might choose to use a capo. The most obvious reason to use a capo is to easily transpose a song to a different key without having to use different chords or go through the process of transposing the music. So let's say the guitarist has music showing the guitar chords for playing the song in the key of G but wants to play it in the key of A instead because that key fits the singers voice better. The guitarist has two options. Transpose the song to the key of A and play the corresponding chords with no capo. Or, put a capo behind the second fret and play the same chords indicated on the sheet music for the key of G.
Most folks think that a capo is only useful if the singer wants to sing the song higher than the original key. That's not always the case. As a good example, I cover the song written by Steve Poltz and Jewel, called "You Were Meant For Me" using Jewell's arrangement. Since I am basically a baritone, obviously I am not going to sing as high as Jewell. On the record, Jewell sings the song in the key of G. I "capo up" to the second fret and play the same chords as Jewell (as if in key of G). And I do that so I can sing it almost an octave lower than Jewell. If I played the song in G, I would have to sing a full octave lower than Jewell and that is too low. So I capo behind second fret and sing "almost" an octave lower than Jewell.
Another good reason to use a capo is if you want to play a song using chords that are easier to play. Suppose for example you have sheet music showing the chords for the song in Eb. And you want to perform the song in Eb because it matches the recording (probably because the artist tuned their instruments a half step flat and played as if in E).
Most guitarist prefer not to play in Eb because some (or most) of the chord shapes that Eb demands, are rather challenging to say the least. But with a capo - instead of having to try to play all those difficult Eb chord shapes - you just put a capo behind the 1st fret and play the chord shapes that you would play if the song were transposed to D (you will have to transpose to D). With a capo on the 1st fret, the chords you play will sound as if you are playing in Eb (also known as D#). So you will be using a much easier set of chords but the music will manifest in the key of Eb.
So in this case, the capo could be used to make the song easier to play in the original key – as opposed to transposing to a different key. Of course you could also do both at the same time. So in the above example, if you put the capo on the second fret and played the chords as if in the key of D, you have now both transposed from Eb to E AND made the arrangement easier to play by avoiding all the barre chords required to play the chords notated for Eb.
Another thing the capo can do, that can not be done as easily as simply transposing the song to the new key - is allow you to use the same picking pattern that is heard on the recording while playing the song in a different key.
To illustrate, let's go back to the example above where I transpose the Jewell song from G to A by putting a capo behind the second fret. You might ask, why don't I just transpose the song to the key of A since those cords are just as easy to play as the chords for G? There is actually a very good reason.
If you listen to the song, one of the musical hooks that identify the song, ("You Were Meant For Me") is the picking pattern which alternates from the bass strings to the treble strings on each chord. If played using the chords for the key of A, the bass and treble notes would be completely different notes and it would not sound at all like the record. So transposing instead of using a capo, would render an arrangement that did not sound as authentic.
Also sometimes certain musical riffs or embellishments or fills that are recognizable in an arrangement are easier to play when they arise out of the fingerings for chord shapes in a particular key and are more difficult to play if other chord shapes are used. In a case like this - a capo might be used to change the chord shapes to ones that better lend themselves to the filler notes you want to add while playing the chords. Again, you could keep the key the same as the original music, but use a capo to change the chord selection to those used in a key whose chords better lend themselves to the fills and licks you wish to add.
Another reason to use a capo would be to give a different flavor to the chord voicing for the instrument.
If the composer or arranger wishes to have a guitar sound more trebely or jangley as part of the overall instrumentation for a musical piece, the guitarist (instead of all barre chords) may choose to play their part with the capo on one of the higher frets (maybe 7 or 8) thereby emphasizing the treble end of the aural spectrum for that particular guitar. Some song writers like to use those higher capo positions in some of their music to convey a particular feel or vibe to the music and they prefer open chords instead of barre chords – so they use a capo.
One of the limitations of the capo is that once you get past the 8th fret, not only do the voicings sound higher (whether desired or not) but the frets are closer and closer together as you move up the fret board and your fingers have a harder time squishing into some of the chord shapes. A cutaway will allow you to capo a few frets closer to the body of the instrument before the body of the instrument itself preventsbyou from reaching certain chords.
One other lesser known use of a capo to make a guitar easier to play is to tune the guitar a half step flat and leave a capo on the first fret to bring it back to standard tuning.
This makes barre chords such as the dreaded F barre chord, much easier to play. The reason the F barre chord takes so much grip strength to play cleanly is that the nut of the guitar is higher than the frets (otherwise the frets would all buzz) and to barre the first fret it is necessary to push the strings down a good distance at an extreme angle between the nut and the first fret. However with a capo on the first fret (and now the second fret is the first fret) the first fret now serves as a new nut that is now only slightly elevated above the next fret – making the F barre chord much easier to fret.
For many of the reasons outlined above, even experienced professional guitarist will often use a capo on certain songs. I keep mine handy whenever I perform or write music on guitar. Not a day goes by where I fail to say a silent thank you to whoever invented this ingenious device.
If you don't have a capo yet, I would encourage you to get one soon. It will open up a whole new world of possibilities for playing your guitar, or other stringed fretted instrument.
Another good example to know the use of capo would be, "Wonderwall" by Oasis (Key F#m). Here, the voicing of open string chords is achieved by a full tone capo from E to F#. Sometimes, not all 6 strings are capo'ed. Watch Andy Mckee's "Rylyn". Good usage of capo could really make difference in beauty of compositions.

Crocodile suspected of biting 2 men dies during capture
Published: Friday, August 29, 2014 at 3:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 29, 2014 at 3:45 p.m.
CORAL GABLES - An American crocodile suspected of biting two swimmers in a South Florida canal has died.
Wildlife officials say the croc named Pancho died Friday morning while fighting capture by two trappers.
Florida Fish and Wildlife spokesman Jorge Pino told the Miami Herald (http://hrld.us/1qLGnd7 ) the 12-foot, 300 pound crocodile died on shore after being retained. Pino says the body was taken to a state facility for evaluation.
The hunt for Pancho attracted a half-dozen trappers.
He was accused of biting two swimmers who jumped into the canal that runs through the Gables by the Sea community early Sunday. Neighbors had mixed feelings about the hunt for Pancho. Some had admiration for the croc, especially since he'd been relocated twice and found his way back. Others were scared of him.

I intend to try working through Bredon's seminal sheaf theory text prior to graduating (I am currently a second year undergraduate), but it is at a level which is far beyond my own (friends of mine who study algebraic topology have gone until their second and third years as graduate students before touching it). However, I am interested in algebraic geometry (though the material treated in Bredon's text is certainly of relative interest to me) and find Bredon's "Topology and Geometry" to be a superb treatment of the algebro-topological tools which may have some utility in my future studies (Bredon takes a more geometric approach). Is there another text which might be a better 'crash course' on algebraic topology for someone at my level (a bit of algebra, analysis, and point-set topology, with a good deal of category theory), or am I on the right track with Bredon's text? Thanks!
Firstly, as you say you are interested in algebraic geometry, Bredon's book may be a slightly unfortunate choice. It very much emphasizes the point of view of the "espace étalé"; it's not much harm to translate things back into the "site" perspective, which is the only one that generalizes to algebraic geometry.
No offence to this great book, but it is extreeeeeeeeeeeemely technical and certainly written for people who want to know all the possible subtleties of sheaves on topological spaces (e.g. it is full of beautiful examples that show how badly things can go wrong ;-); but that's certainly not the kind of stuff a beginner in algebraic topology should learn; and needless to say, it's about subtleties in topology that the Zariski topology certainly does not have.
My advice would be the excellent introduction by Demailly in his online book http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~demailly/manuscripts/agbook.pdf - the chapter about sheaf cohomology is essentially self-contained and avoids the use of higher homological algebra (unlike the books of Shapira / Kashiwara etc., Schneiders).
Have fun! Sheaves rock!
I think you are on the right track in the sense that it's a good idea to read Bredon's Topology and geometry while you're an undergraduate. It starts from scratch more or less and contains the necessary prerequisites for many more advanced books in different areas: algebraic topology (Spanier etc), differential geometry (Besse), Lie groups, you name it.
On the other hand, I don't think that it is formally a prerequisite to reading Sheaf theory. To do this you only need some point set topology and some basic homological algebra (complexes and cohomology but no abelian categories).
On yet another hand (how many hands can one have?), chances are you'll never need to read Bredon's Sheaf theory -- Godement or Iversen are (in my opinion) far more suitable as a first introduction to sheaves than Bredon. There are also two books by Kashivara and Schapira. One is "Categories and sheaves" and the other is "Sheaves on manifolds". Both develop the theory from scratch (especially the first one) but they are a bit dry for a first reading. In fact, the only thing that you can find in Bredon's Sheaf theory but not in any other introductory text I know of is the Smith spectral sequence.
Since this is already way too long to for a comment, let me mention some other sources similar to Geometry and topology that you may find useful. Bott and Tu's Differential forms in algebraic topology can't be recommended high enough. This book starts at an elementary level but contains some of the key ideas in topology, which come up over and over again in many contexts. There are no sheaves there, but if you read it carefully (i.e. try to reconstruct all the proofs in detail), the definition of a sheaf will come as no surprise to you afterwards. Or you may even discover it yourself.
Milnor's Morse theory is arguably one the best introductory mathematical texts ever written and it also falls into the category "what every geometer or topologist should know".
Lee's Introduction to smooth manifolds is quite long but it presents the material in excruciating detail.
Although it's one of my favourite books, Kashiwara and Schapira 'Categories and Sheaves' is incredibly dry and abstract (and somewhat nonstandard in notation in many points).
When I first learned the material I found extremely valuable the seventh chapter of Taylor's Several Complex Variables with Connections with to Algebraic Geometry and Lie Groups. It's an all round great book and it made me understand things much more clearly.
You're supposed to read it after chapter six (which might be a little bit of an overkill) but if you're not too much into abstract nonsense you can substitute 'sheaves' or 'modules' whenever he speaks of objects in an abelian category.

In a recent visit to my dental practice in Fall River by U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy III, my caregiving team and I had the opportunity to highlight the dental care crisis impacting many local families.
According to the federal Health Services and Resources Administration, approximately 80 percent of dentists nationwide do not accept Medicaid or State Children's Health Insurance Plans. Our country is in the middle of a dental care crisis and expanding access to care for children and families who have been historically underserved is a first step on a long road to fixing this problem. Our dental practice model provides a safety net for young Medicaid and SCHIP patients and their families, many of whom might otherwise go without needed dental care and I encourage other area dentists to do the same.
It is imperative that our children have access to the quality dental care they need. Without regular checkups, many children end up with tooth decay, which can lead to malnutrition, life-threatening infections, poor school performance, reluctance to speak, smile and play, and even poorer employment prospects when they reach adulthood.
We thank Kennedy for taking the time to visit our dental practice to learn more about the need for affordable dental care in our community, and how group practice providers are providing a dental home to local children and families who have been historically underserved.

I'm researching and implementing log shipping as part of disaster recovery for our SQL server. I've seen that a monitor server is recommended (but not required) for monitoring the log shipping process. What is the advantage of having that monitor server? Is it the only way to view the history of the log shipping process? Is it useful to have in case one of the servers goes down so you can get some data on what happened?

You can monitor the process on the primary and secondaries, here's where a monitor comes in really useful though...
Let's say your log backups and copies are running just fine, no problems, but one of your secondaries goes down. You aren't monitoring the secondary and so are not aware of this. Your log shipping restore alerts are based off of the secondary server, so you are none the wiser (server being down then you are not getting restore alerts that things are out of date).
You notice a couple of days later, but by then it's too late and you have to restart log shipping from scratch.
Having a monitor server just helps to keep an eye on things and gives you a warning point not related to the servers involved in log shipping (think of it kind of like the witness server in mirroring, but without the automatic failover)

The White Board...and why I do....
05/09/2011 6:38 pm
I am not sure what is normal in the US, but I run my own studio so I put up a white board just off to the side of where I teach. I put it up because I am a planner and a communicator and I like a good map. Do you do this too? On my white board I put up the "style" of class, or some hint of it. For example, last night I did a class I called "Hills and Flats" - In this class I say that when we're on the hills I am more interested in a good honest solid gear than leg speed and heart rate - it is a strength building moment, a building of tolerance for discomfort - gear matters, get strong. On the flats, my gear criteria was much looser - I was looking for adherence to cadence/pedal speed. We have monitors on all our bikes, so adhering to cadence parameters is super easy and not music dependent, though I am personally drawn to matching rhythm with cadence expectations - not stuck on it, but gravitate toward matching bpm/rpm. The expectation was that we would get to our 90-110 rpm and then try to keep that as we tacked on gear, but ultimately, save for the requirement that you have to have enough gear to prevent bouncing and so that you could push through the pedal stroke, I wasn't all that concerned with building strength through gear on the flats - just speed/muscle memory. At times I asked people to put their towel over the monitor and I turned off the music for a minute - we check in a minute to see if the cadence has stayed up. Anyway - that was last night - every night is different, but my point is that I always map out a class for my participants or give them support information about what to expect. I rarely depict down hills on my graph. I almost always give a theme (the point of the class) and a motivational statement - sometimes I google something about oh, I don't know...honesty. playfulness. embracing work....whatever. pop up a little quip. In this way, I do believe, that clients realize that I don't ride freeform. I know every song that is coming up because I carefully blend them - I know how long each songs is, what the mood and bpm is and what the profile looks like at 23minutes, etc etc.... If, like last night, the class is going to finish up with a challenging push that combines both the speed and strength work we'd been doing all class (power work) then they predict it - save for it and release their effort because they know it is their last shot. Do you do this? Is it standard to teach with the aid of a white board? I also use a music stand with a lecture light so i can see my profile/playlist.... I wonder how I would do without all my aids???Share

Going to Wikipedia notes, The Lizard (Dr. Curtis "Curt" Connors) is a fictional character, a supervillain in the Marvel Comics Universe. He is an enemy of Spider-Man. The Lizard first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #6 (November 1963), and was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. In 2009, the Lizard was named IGN's 62nd Greatest Comic Villain of All Time. Now we have an anticipated, blockbuster movie "The Amazing Spiderman" reboot coming this summer (3D too) July 3, 2012.
