We used a bag of frozen corn and then served it as a dip with tortilla chips. Amazingly good with a spoon of sour cream on top to finish it off!
We used to make this also. Just refound it and are adding it to our fave file!
This was good, but a little bland for me. I served it over brown rice. It was very easy, but next time I'll try to add more seasonings. I'm also thinking of using my frozen leftovers as a burrito filling with some lettuce, avocado, etc.
This recipe was *okay*. It was easy to make and tasted alright, but was nothing special to me.
This was good. I only had 1 can of corn though, next time I'll make sure to have 2. I added some cumin & mexican seasoning because there wasn't much flavor. I think I'll cook the frozen boneless skinless chicken 1st next time because I had to keep scooping out the chicken's goopy fat & lost alot of corn in the process.
I loved this recipe. Made it in the crock pot like suggested. I portioned mine for two and it fit perfectly into a small crock pot. I do think that I will use a spicier salsa next time since we like a bit of a kick or maybe add some jalapenos to the mix. I ate mine over rice and the boyfriend ate his in tortillas.
delicious, and the whole family loved it! will be in our regular rotation. :)
I placed this mixture in burritos and it was awesome!
This was really easy.. I doubled the recipe and then divided it into three bags with four breasts in each. When it was time to cook I was glad I did because it wouldn't have all fit with 6 breasts. (We opted to freeze the breasts whole and shred after cooking.) Cooked on low 8 hours and added cream cheese for last 30 minutes. Loved the convenience of dump chicken plus crock pot- how easy is that? After tasting I added 1/2 tsp of chili powder. I will add a can of diced green chilis or some jalapenos next time, as it could use a little heat, otherwise it was great. Thanks for posting this one!
Delicious. I found the white rice took a little longer than suggested to cook, and left in the oven for around 10 more minutes. Came out perfectly.

Comments Thread For: Denis Boytsov Starts Training For February Return
Unbeaten heavyweight contender Denis Boytsov (31-0, 25 KOs) has started training for his next ring return, reportedly taking place on February 9th in Hamburg, Germany - but that has yet to be confirmed. Boytsov has been out of the ring since last April and had elbow surgery which he had in November. The Russian fighter is still officially promoted by Universum Box-Promotion. Boytsov has been putting in work with such fighters as Manuel Charr and Denis Bakhtov. Denis is training under Ouvena Riaz, who worked as an assistant coach, part-time at Universum.

This guy is a joke. I foolishly saw potential in him a few years ago, but like every other 'undefeated' fighter in the HW division, he has no ambition. He'll just continue fighting bums/shot fighters to pad out his record.

He has had a few injuries and is stuck in some bullsh1t contract with Universum who are reported to be bankrupt.
I wish they would just let him go sign with someone else.

There are a few conditions that the patient may get as a doxycycline mono 100 mg tabran what is doxycycline hyc 100mg cap wsw http complication to Q Fever. In severe situations Doxycycline, an antibiotic is employed to reduce lid inflammation and help increase tear production as well. It contains an acid called as proanthocyanins which prevent the bacteria from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract. Gonorrhoea is considered a hazardous sexually transmitted infection as its symptoms increase the risk of you getting infected with the HIV virus. The dosage should not be exceeded or lessened without the doctor's recommendation.
It can also affect the sperm count and fertility in men. Tetracyclines also form complexes with calcium, which can stain the developing teeth of children and affect the strength and shape of bones. It will take at least two months before any improvement is noticed. We conclude that increased homocysteine levels in the central nervous system characterize patients fulfilling the criteria for both fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Ask your family doctor or pharmacist more about the dosage and length of time that you should take any of these prescription medications.
Occupational exposure accounts for approximately 30-50% of human cases. If positive, serology may help determine acute or chronic infection. Urinary retention (can't completely empty the bladder). Researchers say if resistance to cephalosporins develops, gonorrhea could develop into a superbug, having catastrophic effect on medical personnel's ability to control the disease in the United States. If the disease is identified soon after infection, the Black Plague is almost always treatable and patients make full recoveries.
For the treatment of facial melasma pigmentation or effective, we must look at the root of the problem. These will be mottling in moderate forms and in severe cases the mottling will be so extensive that it would appear pitted and stained brown and may also chip easily. They are a safe, fast, cheap, and permanent cure for acne sufferers. Chlamydia and gonorrhea are often grouped together because they are considered to be very similar, but many people do not realize that it is likely for you to experience both of these STDs at once. After restarting the Doxycycline alone, she again improved within three days.
A sunscreen of at least SPF of 35 should be worn while outside. Rinse a clean washcloth with warm water and wring out thoroughly. Unfortunately, there is now widespread resistance to these drugs, rendering them much less effective in some parts of the world. Susceptibility testing of the cultures against a variety of antibiotics can help guide therapy. According to recent studies, 54% of males and 74% of females have A.

A Sneak Peek at the Next-Gen Exascale Operating System
There are several scattered pieces in the exascale software stack being developed and clicked together worldwide. Central to that jigsaw effort is the eventual operating system to power such machines.
This week the Department of Energy snapped in a $9.75 million investment to help round out the picture of what such as OS will look like. The grant went to Argonne National Lab for a multi-institutional project (including Pacific Northwest and Lawrence Livermore labs, as well as other universities) aimed at developing a prototype exascale operating system and associated runtime software.
To better understand"Argo", the exascale OS effort, we spoke with Pete Beckman, Director of the Exascale Technology and Computing Institute and chief architect of the Argo project. Beckman says that as we look forward to the features of these ultra-scale machines, power management, massive concurrency and heterogeneity, as well as overall resiliency, can all be addressed at the OS level.
These are not unfamiliar concerns, but attacking them at the operating system lends certain benefits, argues Beckman. For instance, fine-tuning power control and management at the core operational and workload level becomes possible with a pared-down, purpose-built and HPC-optimized OS.
Outside of power, the team describes the "allowance for massive concurrency, [met by] a hierarchical framework for power and fault management, as well as a "beacon" mechanism that allows resource managers and optimizers to communicate and control the platform.
Beckman and team describe this hierarchy as an "enclave"–in this model the OS is more hierarchical in nature than we traditionally think of it as. In other words, it's easy to think of a node-level OS–with Argo, there is a global OS that runs across the machine. This, combined with the platform-neutral design of Argo, will make it flexible enough to change with architectures and manageable at both a system and workload level–all packaged in familiar Linux wrappings.
As shown above, these "enclaves," are defined as a set of resources dedicated to a particular service, and capable of introspection and autonomic response. As Argonne describes, "They can shape-shift the system configuration of nodes and the allocation of power to different nodes or to migrate data or computations from one node to another." On the reliability front, the enclaves that tackle failure can do so "by means of global restart and other enclaves supporting finer-level recovery."
The recognizable Linux core of Argo will have been enhanced and modified to meet the needs of more dynamic, next-gen applications. While development on those prototype applications are ongoing, Beckman and the distributed team plan to test Argo's ability to dive into a host of common HPC applications. Again, all of this will be Linux-flavored, but with an HPC shell that narrows the focus on the problems at hand.
As a side note, leveraging the positive elements of Linux and building into it a robustness and eye on taking on critical power management, concurrency and resiliency features seems like a good idea. If the trend holds, Linux itself will continue to enjoy the lion's share (by far–96% according to reporting from yesterday) of the OS market on the Top500.
It's more about refining the role of Linux versus rebuilding it, Beckman explains. While Linux currently is tasked with managing a multi-user, multi-program balancing act with its resources, doling them out fairly, the Argo approach would hone in on the parts of code that need to blaze–wicking away some of the resource balancing functions. "We can rewrite some of those pieces and design runtime systems that are specifically adapted to run those bits of code fast and not try to deal with the balancing of many users ad many programs."
The idea is to have part of the chip be capable of running the Linux kernel for the basics; things like control systems, booting, command and interface functions, debugging and the like–but as Beckman says, "for the HPC part, we can specialize and have a special component that lives in the chip."
In that case, there are some middleware pieces that are hidden inside Argo. Beckman said that that software will move closer to the OS. And just as that happens, more software will be tied to the chips–whatever those happen to look like in the far-flung future (let's say 2020 to be fair). This is all Argonne's domain–they've been one of the leading labs that have worked on the marriage between processor and file systems, runtimes, message passing and other software workings. Beckman expects a merging between many lines–middleware and OS, and of course, both of those with the processor.
"Bringing together these multiple views and the corresponding software components through a whole-system approach distinguishes our strategy from existing designs," said Beckman. "We believe it is essential for addressing the key exascale challenges of power, parallelism, memory hierarchy, and resilience."
As of now, numerous groups are working on various pieces of the power puzzle in particular. This is an especially important issue going forward. Although power consumption has always been a concern, Beckman says that the approach now is to optimize systems in advance, "turn the power on, and accept that they will draw what they're going to draw." In addition to the other work being done inside the stack to create efficient supers, there is a role for the operating system to play in orchestrating "smart" use of power for certain parts of the computation or parts of the machine.

Media Type: DVD
The fourth season of the espionage action series La Femme Nikita might've been its last, were it not for a heroic effort to revive the show by its fans. Since the campaign was a success, the fourth season remains an exciting chapter in the cult series' history, and one with a startling denouement that left audiences begging for more. The crux of the series pits Section One's sinister head, Operations (Robert Eugene Glazer) against Nikita's partner/lover Michael (Roy Dupuis), who has been deemed expendable; meanwhile, Michael must find a way to deprogram Nikita (Peta Wilson) from the brainwashing that has turned into a destructive killing machine. Highlights from this season include the two-parter "Man in the Middle" and "Love, Honor and Cherish," which finds Nikita betrothed to a wealthy industrialist (Maxwell Caulfield) who is Section's next target; "No One Lives Forever," in which Nikita is granted her freedom in exchange for the murder of the man who killed her father (whose identity is one of the season's most gasp-worthy surprises); and the three-part conclusion ("Face in the Mirror," "Up the Rabbit Hole," and "Four Light Years Farther"), which reveals stunning news about Nikita's true identity, delivers a unpleasant fate for one of the major characters, and leaves the rest in particularly dire straits. Were this the conclusion of the series as intended, the fourth season certainly provided a worthy wrap-up, with more than its share of intrigue and last-minute plot twists; as it stands, it's exceptionally fun TV, with a fine balance of action and romance between the charismatic and attractive. Wilson and Dupuis. The six-disc set includes all 22 episodes of the fourth season; Eugene Robert Glazer provides commentary for two episodes, "Time to Be Heroes" and "Sympathy for the Devil," on which he's respectively joined by director Brad Turner and writer Peter Lenkov; there's also a collection of deleted scenes with commentary by Christopher Heyn assistant to the show's executive consultant Joel Surnow, and a gag reel. --Paul Gaita

Stillness Speaks (Hardcover)
On Our Shelves Now
In Stillness Speaks, best-selling author Eckhart Tolle illuminates the fundamental elements of his teaching, addressing the needs of the modern seeker by drawing from all spiritual traditions. At the core of the book is what the author calls the state of presence," a living in the now" that is both intensely inspirational and practical. When the pressures of future and past thinking disappear, fear and frustration also vanish, conquered by the moment. Stillness Speaks takes the form of 200 individual entries, organized into 10 topic clusters that range from "Beyond the Thinking Mind" to "Suffering and the End of Suffering." The entries are concise and complete in themselves, but, read together, take on a transformative power.
About the Author
Eckhart Tolle is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Power of Now (translated into 33 languages) and A New Earth, which are widely regarded as two of the most influential spiritual books of our time. In 2008, A New Earth became the first spiritual book to be selected for Oprah's Book Club as well as the subject of a ten-week online workshop co-taught by Eckhart and Oprah.

Astronaut: Moon, Mars and Beyond – beta announced, Kickstarted
NASA does some pretty awesome stuff, the least of which being sending people into outer space. For those of us who won't be floating amongst the stars anytime soon, the agency has decided to bring the experience home in a new MMO, Astronaut: Moon, Mars and Beyond. Set in 2035, players will take to the heavens and explore Mars, the asteroid belt, and the outer planets as well as encounter a threat to civilization. While not funding the project directly, NASA is developing the title "in accordance with a "Space Act Agreement" with NASA Learning Technologies by Project Whitecard and Wisdom Tools" and using a Kickstarter campaign to help finance the beta.

Welcome to the Religious Studies Program, where religious traditions are explored in all of their complexity through comparative, contextual (in specific historical or cultural contexts), and thematic studies. We offer a major in Religious Studies through the College of Arts and Sciences and a minor for students from across the university. The courses offered through our program are built on the established scholarly tradition of the study of religion as an academic, as opposed to confessional, pursuit. The Religious Studies Program is designed to meet the needs of three classes of students: (1) students planning to pursue advanced degrees in the academic study of religion or allied disciplines or sub-disciplines (e.g., history of religions, religion and literature, religion and psychology, ethics, theology, area studies); (2) students seeking courses on topics relating to religion to fulfill distribution requirements: and (3) students desiring a more systematic exposure to the academic study of religion as a significant component of a liberal arts education. To all students, our major offers an excellent opportunity to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of the intricate ways in which religious traditions inform human thought and behavior.
The program also hosts lectures, conferences, symposia, and periodic social gatherings for faculty members and students throughout the academic year to foster a sense of intellectual community.

I called Betty after receiving notices from the IRS telling me I owed large sums of money. I had been trying to work with the IRS on my own, but wasn't getting anywhere. When i received a Notice of Intent to Levy, I finally called Betty for professional help.
She was able to help me get my tax returns for previous years amended, and was able to get the IRS penalties abated! Since I then only had the tax left to pay, and no penalties, I was able to afford a monthly payment to the IRS.
I was so stressed, and on the verge of filing bankruptcy. It will be a long time until I am squared up with the IRS, but at least I can sleep at night now.

After yesterdays feast of Broad billed Sandpiper, Wood Sandpiper and Ruff it seemed only proper to see if I could find the Wansbeck Bonapartes Gull.
This mornings reported sighting was under the A189 bridge so I headed there via Cambois. The were half a dozen Black headed over on the North bank with one possible amongst. So crossed over and despite decent views I could not quite convince myself that I had found it, so returned to the pub for beer and burger.
Then down to Castle Island and a lot of gulls to search.
Then a possible, black bill, and smaller than a BH and similar head marks to recently published. Following a kind confirmation by Andy @leicester_llama , I had myself a Bonapartes Gull.
there were also three Avocets
and three Little Egret, one of which was ringed, but I could not ident rings

Portpatrick and Mull of Galloway
Earlier this week I was able to have a few days ambling around Portpatrick, Mull of Galloway and surrounding area .
A few hours along the Portpatrick clifftops brought some sightings of Ravens, Hooded Crow as well as an abundance of wildflowers. Gannets were struggling to head North against a stiff breeze.
A brief visit to Ballantrae beach provided an unexpected sight of brilliant, summer plumaged Knot and Sanderling. At least that's what I believe them to be, but no doubt someone will correct me otherwise. The summer colouring completely threw me. This beach normally hosts Little and Arctic Terns nesting but none had yet arrived. Gannets were feeding close inshore.
Corsewell Point provided good but distant views of Manx and Sooty Shearwaters heading North. A Short eared Owl was harried by corvids
At the end of the Mull there were good numbers of Guillimot and Razorbill with a few Black Guillimot as well. A Peregrine patrolled the cliff faces.
A few hours spent inland gave me the chance to watch Spotted Flycatchers, Tree Pipits, Sedge Warblers and large numbers of Chiffy, Willow Warbler and Whitethroat. I failed to find a Pied Flycatcher anywhere.Woodland Bluebells were magnificent
I was treated to see Roe deer, Stoat, Adder, Hares and amazingly Painted Lady butterfly.
On the return journey through Galloway Forest a couple of Cuckoo were heard.

New Life
Way back in late October last year I spotted three green caterpillars on a broccolli plant in the garden. Nights were cool so I cut the stem, placed it in water, and took it into the garden shed. Within a couple of days the largest caterpillar disappeared but the other two smaller, underdeveloped, stopped feeding.
Thought no more about them until two days ago when I saw this on the side of a bottle in the shed....
Thinking, if it emerges it might struggle to get out of the shed, so placed the bottle in the garden frame.
Yesterday morning, and hey presto, this.......

Away trip
Am just back from a visit to Daughter in Leeds. We got around some of the nice places such as Rodley NR, Adel NR, Golden Acre, Eccup, North Cave NR, and on the way back, Nosterfield NR, and Hartlepool Headland .
Little Egret, 2 Little Owls, Red Necked Grebe, Shore Lark, Treecreeper, Nuthatch, Red Legged Partridge, Redwings were just a few. There seemed to be Roe deer in most of the fields as we travelled about.
Thought I would jot down a few of the memories.
While down near the river Aire I heard a typical Buzzard call but with a clear sky could not pick it out. Then Linda beckoned along the track to a Jay perched on a tree top, calling like a soaring Buzzard. Upon research there have been a number of reports in the area.

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
Comics | "Dick Tracy" writer Mike Curtis has donated his 17,000-piece collection of Superman memorabilia to the Cleveland Public Library, which will establish a permanent exhibit dedicated to the Man of Steel. Some of Curtis' items date back to as early as 1939. The library is applying for grants to preserve and restore the collectibles, and hopes to have some of them on display by November. The Man of Steel was of course created by Cleveland by high school friends Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. [The Columbus Dispatch]
Manga | Four older manga series are making a comeback in digital format: School Rumble, Alive, Nodame Cantabile, and Princess Resurrection, all originally published in English by Del Rey, will be available in the iTunes Store beginning on July 26. The Del Rey manga imprint became defunct in 2010, when the Japanese publisher Kodansha stopped licensing its manga to them and started publishing the books directly as Kodansha Comics. [Anime News Network]
Passings | Chester "Chet" Krause, who was the owner of the Comics Buyers Guide from 1983 to 1991, has died at the age of 92. Krause, who also owned a number of other papers catering to special interests (Numismatic News, Sports Collectors Digest), hired Don and Maggie Thompson as the editors of CBG, and under their leadership it became an important gathering point and communications channel for comics fans in the days before the internet. [ICv2]
Legal | An attorney who specializes in intellectual property takes a walk through an Artists Alley — and he doesn't like what he sees: "Without exaggeration or hyperbole, 70-80% of the vendors and artists were selling infringing intellectual property ('IP')." He proceeds to list in detail not only the offenses but the misconceptions used to defend them. [Seth Polansky's Blog]
Legal | Crime comics, including most superhero titles, are illegal in Canada, thanks to a seldom-enforced 1940s-era law that's still on the books. The law, which was enacted during one of the early waves of anti-comics hysteria, bans the publishing, sale or possession with intent to sell of any comic that depicts a crime. Elton Hobson tells the whole tale, which starts with a murder and ends with a shrug from a retailer who's confident she won't be clapped in irons for selling Spider-Man comics. [Global News]
Publishing | Zainab Akhtar looks at the success of Koyama Press and how it changed the comics small press world as a whole. She starts with the amazing origin story: Founder Annie Koyama nearly died from a brain aneurysm, and while she was recovering she played the stock market so successfully that she was able to quit her job and launch Koyama Press. For six years she provided funding for artists without taking anything for herself, and she also searched for and promoted emerging artists. "On an immediate level, Annie's generous yet meritocratic approach validated the work of artists who were otherwise written off by the established alternative comics community, which often views this new generation of cartoonists working primarily online as somehow less legitimate," Akhtar writes. "On a broader scale, her commitment to taking risks on emerging artists reflected an ongoing paradigm shift affecting the way alternative comics are produced and consumed." [The Fader]
Conventions | While the San Diego Chargers support the construction of a multi-use stadium that's not connected to the San Diego Convention Center, Comic-Con International still favors a contiguous expansion. "If a convention center is built across the street or blocks away from the current location, any convention considering an event in San Diego would be forced to determine who gets to stay at the main facility and who is relegated to the 'other' venue," Comic-Con's David Glanzer writes in a column reiterating the organization's stance. "Comic-Con experienced a similar scenario some years ago when we attempted to create more exhibit space by moving some exhibitors upstairs to the Sails Pavilion. Even though all exhibitors were in the same building, the fact that some were only one floor removed from others caused a great deal of consternation as they objected to not being on what they considered to be the main exhibit floor." [San Diego Union-Tribune]
Graphic Novels | The one-volume Naruto sequel, Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring, and the first four volumes of One-Punch Man dominate the BookScan top 20 graphic novels list for January, taking five of the top six slots and making room only for Alison Bechdel's Fun Home. BookScan tracks sales in bookstores, and the presence of not only Fun Home but Watchmen and American Born Chinese suggests that graphic novels are popping up on lots of required-reading lists for the spring semester. Three collected editions of Star Wars comics, the first four volumes of Tokyo Ghoul, and the fifth volume of Saga also made the list. [ICv2]
Passings | Linus Maurer, a professional cartoonist whose name Charles Schulz borrowed for his Peanuts character, has died at the age of 90. Maurer was a co-worker of Schulz's at the Art Instruction Schools in Minneapolis when Schulz was developing the characters for Peanuts. "Linus came from a drawing that I made one day of a face almost like the one he now has," Schulz later wrote. "I experimented with some wild hair, and showed the sketch to a friend of mine who sat near me at art instruction, whose name was Linus Maurer. It seemed appropriate that I should name the character Linus." Maurer started his career as an illustrator and was an art director for the McCann Erickson ad agency before becoming a full-time cartoonist, working on a number of nationally syndicated comics including Old Harrigan, Abracadabra, and In the Beginning. In his later years he was a cartoonist for the Sonoma Index-Tribune. "I feel very honored that Schulz used my name in his strip," Maurer said in an interview in 2000. "I can't imagine what my life would have been like if the cartoon Linus had never existed. I think we have a lot in common. We're both philosophical and level-headed." Maurer didn't carry a security blanket, but, he said, "I do keep a lot of sweaters and jackets in the trunk of my car." [The Press Democrat]
Collecting | For the better part of three decades, 78-year-old Ray Brown has been "rescuing" comic books and giving them a good home — namely, his. The South Dakota man estimates his collection includes some 75,000 comics, the bulk of which he purchased from five Rapid City-area stores that went out of business. "They take up a lot of room," he says. "They don't eat anything, though." Brown doesn't read them, however; instead he simply takes pleasure in saving them from the trash bin. He does sell a few on the Internet from time to time, but he's in no hurry to get rid them. [Black Hills Fox]
Publishing | Calvin Reid and Heidi MacDonald assemble a roundtable of comics insiders to for a detailed discussion of how the graphic novel market has evolved over the past 10 years, how their own business models have evolved, and what challenges they expect the future to bring. "Graphic novels are now firmly established in the book market worldwide in every genre: superhero, creator-owned, kids, middle-grade, young adult, webcomic, media tie-ins … etc," says Kuo-Yu Liang, vice president of sales & marketing for Diamond Book Distributors. "While the overall book business is flat, most retailers are reporting comics/graphic novels and related merchandise as one of the few segments growing." [Publishers Weekly]
Crime | Police in Amarillo, Texas, are searching for a man who robbed the Big Apple Comics at gunpoint on Tuesday. An employee was locking up the store at about 7:10 p.m. when a man approached him and told him to unlock the doors. The employee resisted, and the robber reportedly drew a semi-automatic pistol and demanded money. The employee handed over an undisclosed amount of cash. [Amarillo Globe-News]
Passings | Zack Davisson, who translated Shigeru Mizuki's works into English for Drawn and Quarterly, pens the definitive obituary of the late manga master, writing not only about his impact on Japanese culture but also his criticism of Japan's actions in World War II and its treatment of disabled veterans, which led writer Jake Adelstein to call him "the Voice of Japan's Conscience." [The Comics Journal]
Crowdfunding | A new report released by Kickstarter shows that about 9 percent of the projects on the crowdfunding platform failed to deliver the promised rewards. While that is fairly consistent across all categories, comics do appear to do a bit better than most. Another interesting tidbit: Projects that raise less than $1,000 are the most likely to fail. [Kickstarter]
Creators | Writer Kyle Higgins talks about his new Power Rangers comic, Green Ranger: Year One, which focuses on the Ranger who was originally a villain before reforming and joining the team: "Basically, in going the modernization route I decided that I didn't really want to jump in and tell new origins of the Power Rangers or anything like that. So looking at the introduction of the Green Ranger to the team, of him joining the team, was the window that I took for the story in order to get us into the world." [Hero Complex]
Passings | Underground comics writer Dennis Eichhorn passed away on Oct. 8 at age 70. He's best known for his autobiographical comic series Real Stuff, which often involved tales of alcohol, sex and drugs. Published from 1990 to 1995 by Fantagraphics, the multiple Eisner-nominated Real Stuff was illustrated by the likes of Lynda Barry, Chester Brown, Peter Kuper, Joe Sacco, Roberta Gregory and Ed Brubaker. [The Stranger]
Legal | Iranian cartoonist Atena Farghadani, already serving a 12-year sentence for a cartoon depicting members of the Iranian parliament with animal heads, and under investigation for shaking hands with her male lawyer, had to endure yet another indignity in August: She was forced to undergo a "forced virginity and pregnancy test" as part of the investigation of the latter charge. "In doing so, the Iranian judicial authorities have truly reached an outrageous low, seeking to exploit the stigma attached to sexual and gender-based violence in order to intimidate, punish or harass her," said Said Boumedouha of Amnesty International, which is calling for her release. [Amnesty International]
Museums | The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, founded by George Lucas and slated to open in 2018 in Chicago, has acquired the original art from Robert Crumb's The Book of Genesis. [The Art Paper]
Editorial cartoons | R.C. Harvey writes the definitive piece on the Ted Rall case, rounding up pretty much everything that's been written in the aftermath of the Los Angeles Times' decision to cut ties with the cartoonist. In addition to presenting the evidence and all points of view, Harvey sheds a harsh light on the paper's public statements about Rall and the relationship between the newspaper and the Los Angeles police union. [The Comics Journal]
Comics | David Harper examines why Marvel and DC remain important — "indispensable," even — despite the ascendance of creator-owned comics. "Opposite to what it was before where you'd form yourself in your own comics and then graduate to the big companies, now the big companies are going to form you in order to graduate you to your own comics," Marcos Martin explains. "That's why I think Marvel and DC are indispensable. They're great. That means there is an industry. We need that industry in order to bring creators and form them so they can at one point put together their own stories." [Sktchd]
Comic strips | Reflecting on Charles M. Schulz's long-running Peanuts, Kevin Wong lays much of the blame for the comic strip's slow decline at the feet of the increasingly popular Snoopy: "[N]ear the end of the 60s and well into the 70s, the cracks started to show. Snoopy began walking on his hind legs and using his hands, and that was the beginning of the end for the strip. Perhaps he was technically still a dog, but in a very substantial way, Snoopy had overcome the principal struggle of his existence. His opposable thumbs and upward positioning meant that for all intents and purposes, he was now a human in a dog costume. One of his new roleplays was to be different Joes — Joe Cool, Joe Skateboard, etc." [Kotaku]

Radioactive Cortisone.
—Radioactive cortisone for use in medical research will be manufactured with the aid of funds from the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases, Dr. Russell M. Wilder, Director of the Institute, announced. The Institute is under the supervision of the Public Health Service of the Federal Security Agency. The radioactive cortisone has not been produced hitherto in sufficient quantity for research studies. It will contain radioactive carbon. This will "tag" the cortisone so that it can be traced through the bodies of experimental animals to learn how it produces its effects in health and disease.
Mississippi Valley Medical Society.
—The 17th annual meeting of the Mississippi Valley Medical Society will be held Oct. 1, 2, and 3, 1952, at the Jefferson Hotel, St. Louis. The ninth annual meeting of the American Medical Writers' Association will be held Oct. 1 at the same place.

Product Description
Product Description
Turangalîla-Symphonie - L'Ascension / Thomas Bloch, ondes martenot - François Weigel, piano - Orchestre de la Radio Nationale Polonaise - Antoni Wit, direction
If you don't know this towering masterpiece of 20th-century music, then here's the perfect opportunity to sample a compelling performance without hurting your pocket. A work that embraces love and joy, life and death--exuberant, passionate, erotic, sensuous, spiritual, dripping with colour and positively itchy with infectious rhythm. Mountains of sound stand close to gardens of great intimacy touched by the haunting electronic sounds of the ondes martenot. There is something, somewhere in Turangalnla to appeal to anyone. This is a cracking performance which can hold its head up alongside the best, the players plunging headlong into every hair-raising challenge (try the famous "Joie du sang des etoiles") yet also, under the impressive Antoni Wit, able to convey the magic of moments where time stands still, as in "Jardin du sommeil". Weigel and Bloch are admirable. The recording is excellent--spacious and detailed. L'Ascension is in its way just as much a showcase for the talents (not least the brass) of the PNRSO. These four meditations (one a vibrant scherzo) on the ascension of Christ express the very heart of Messiaen's Catholicism yet reach out to a far wider sense of the spiritual in man. Again, a first-rate performance. --Andrew Green

Take the Naxos release of Olivier Messiaen's "Turangalila Symphony." There's a good chance you've never heard of "Turangalila," and the reason is simple. It's an enormous, staggering work. As if the sheer difficulty of the music isn't enough, it lasts a full ten movements. And let's not also forget the kind of themes that pervade it. In Messiaen's own words, it is a "song of love, hymn to joy, time, movement, rhythm, life and death."
There are not that many recordings of "Turangalila" for the above reasons. It's an insanely difficult work. So perhaps it is somewhat surprising that the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Antoni Wit, decides to attempt to conquer it. The result is far and away the best recording ever made of the darn piece. Sure, you've never heard of the orchestra or the conductor. And sure, it costs nothing compared to recordings with better known performers. I still insist that it's the best that's out there. I've probably already said too much. I wholeheartedly encourage you to buy this release immediately and experience the piece and the stellar performance for yourself. I guarantee you that you won't regret it.
The piece itself, oddly enough, reminds me of Mussorgsky's "Pictures" work from time to time, as it has also an eastern influence that renders it a bit exotic, especially through the well embedded Ondes Martenot. It's like Mussorgsky meets Schoenberg, so to speak. The sound is good and clear, but also hard as glass, just in tune with a white hot performance like this one.
In summary, if you want something extraordinary and different, go for it. Five stars to Antoni and the boys, well done and well deserved.
You always have to fasten your musical seat belts when dealing with the mightly enigmatic music of Messiaen. No exception here. Yet Wit and his band seem to have their stuff together on this recording. This makes for Messiaen as it should be...free, full of life, without losing vision and insight.
The price alone should be enough to persuade those unsure souls who've yet to enter Messiaen's musical world to give it a whirl. If not, let me encourage you--take the leap! This recording will not disappoint.

I have to replace a 1989 Suzuki Sidekick engine. Ive found one and asked for a compression check. The compression check is 165 and the engine has 85,000 miles. Can you tell me if that looks like it will be okay? The engine is $600 and I have to pay another $400 for labor and parts to install it.
