Sometimes, life flows along smoothly, and the writing is easy. The words come easy, the plot makes sense, and the characters cooperate. And sometimes, there are speed bumps that slow you down. It's been a SPEED BUMP kind of month for me.
I am working on the third Jenny T. Partridge, and there have been many speed bumps. I LOVE what I ended up with, but I changed a lot of it–over and over again–because the plot was not working for me. Jen assured me it was "end of contract" fever. I have to agree. It has felt VERY feverish at times.
This book is set solidly in the dance world, and offers a first-hand look at children's dance competitions, and I want to do this right, but still retain the humor from past Jenny books.
My own insecurity led me to write and rewrite this book. I know this. Finally, my editor said, "Enough. Let me do my job." In a nice way, of course, because she is a very nice person. So I am just finishing up my timeline edit. This is a tip I picked up from Cele, who always reads my book and is a fabulous help to me. I have found that if I go back after I'm done, and note the days and times at the top of each chapter, I can assure myself that I have not done some time traveling, since this is NOT that kind of novel.
I am finally almost ready to let it go. Of course, the minute I reach that point, other speed bumps come in.
Last night, my favorite uncle, my mother's youngest brother, suffered a massive heart attack. It's very touch and go right now. They are lifeflighting him up here to a hospital in Ogden, since it has the very best cardiac care. He is on a ventilator. They don't believe he suffered brain damage, but he is still not conscious.
He is only 60 years old.
Life is full of speed bumps. Little ones that I created myself, and much, much larger ones, that I have no control over.
This has put the situation into perspective for me. No more self-created speed bumps. There are enough created by life itself.
I know others have speeds bumps, like family illnesses, deaths, finances. But the ones that we can control, are sometimes the hardest to overcome.
Have any of you hit a "speed bump" in your writing, and how did you get past it?
Every year at this time, someone figures out I'm a Leo and responds by saying, "Well that explains it."
Explains WHAT?
See I never put much stock in the stars. I mean I like stars, they are beautiful, especially on a clear night while I'm lounging in a spa with a glass of wine….
Wait did that sound, Leo-ish?
But my point is that I just don't rely on a day of birth to determine who I am. I don't consult psychics because I believe in making my own destiny. I don't pay attention to what someone else tells me to be.
This year a friend realized I'm a Leo and said to me by email. "Oh that explains it!"
I replied, "That I'm stubborn and opinionated?"
"No, strong."
Cool! I like that.
But it got me thinking about signs and romance. What if, after all these years I married the wrong astrological sign? What if I just IMAGINED that I've been so happy with my husband for almost 25 years now? Maybe there's a reason men use that bone ass line in bars, "What's your sign?" In fact, I just found out my husband didn't even know my astrological sign, or more likely, didn't remember it. (For the record, I don't care—stuff like that doesn't matter to me.) I found out by this conversation.
Me, "I put both our astrological signs into Google today. Leo and Aries."
Hubby looking mildly surprised, "You're a Leo?"
Me, "Follow the point. And yes I'm a Leo. You're an Aries."
Hubby shrugs, trying to see the baseball game on TV while acting interested, "And?"
Me with a grin cause I know I'm going to get his attention, "This is the cool part. I found out that we're HOT together. Aries and Leo's have long and very passionate sex lives."
Hubby forgets about baseball game grins smugly, "Oh yeah? Good to know."
Me laughing, "Yeah, who knew?"
Hubby with the smile I love so much, "We knew."
Yeah. We do know. Wow what a relief! It turns out we don't need to follow the stars, just our hearts (don't groan—Leo's are supposed to be romantic!).
If you're curious, these are the traits of a Leo: Generous, Warmhearted, Creative, Enthusiastic, Broadminded, Expansive, Faithful and Loving. And Pompous, patronizing, bossy, interfering, dogmatic and intolerant.
I think I resemble some of those, but I believe it is life experiences, our choices and what we believe in and stand for make us unique people with layers and textures. It's those things that make us interesting, that make us real.
I bet you think I'm going to make the obvious comparisons to creating characters. Nah—I hate being so predictable.
Instead, I'm going to ask: Do you know your astrological sign and do you think you resemble it?
And I don't just mean what you learned in school or on the job. Example: My Kensington editor told me a long time ago what she liked most about my writing is that it's juicy. "You have that juicy family." I immediately got what she meant. We Tabke's are a lusty bunch. My stories are about strong characters who stand for something and don't fall for everything. It gets us in trouble. Yet we will never change. It's who we are, it's part of our DNA.
I've mentioned before, hubby is alpha. My boys are alpha, my girls are girlie girls. They like to be treated as such, but they also demand to be treated as an equal. Hmm, sounds like somebody I know. After almost 25 years of marriage hubby and I still hold hands in the grocery store and he will more often then not, cop a feel in the frozen food section. We laugh, we battle, and we make up. Our lives are full. Juicy.
It's funny though, my husband will tell you I am the most unromantic romance writer out there. And if you look at my heroines you will see, while they are smart, passionate women, they aren't romantic in the classic senses. But they love hard and will fight to the end for their man.
As far as technically writing what I know, while I know a little about a lot of things, when it comes right down to it, there are only a few things I know a lot about. Cop stuff. Herpetology (although I could use a brush up there), football, running a successful business, motivation, cooking, and throwing a damn good party. Not much when it's all boiled down. What I don't know I research, but frankly, IMO research can only take you so far into a subject.
I read a lot of books with complicated plots where the protagonists have specialty jobs. I can tell when the author is writing what she knows or is going off research. I recently read a book by a #1 NY Times bestselling author. The book was set in an area I am very familiar with. And while she had the landmarks correct, she didn't in my opinion have the energy of the people nailed. It wasn't in the details. I lost interest in the book.
I think it would be really interesting to hear what everyone is really good at. And that brings me to my question: What do you know?
And before I forget, I want to mention that tomorrow the hubster will be guest blogging over at www.magicalmusings.com. I don't want to give anything away, but if you read his blog you will, um, have a whole new perspective on man vs beast.
Now for something completely fun!
Last week I read this article in the Sacramento Bee about handwriting analysis. Ages ago, I'd read a book about the subject so I've always been loosely interested in the concept.
Before we go any further, I want you to handwrite the following (it's a line from one of my books):
She'd called in every favor, stolen expensive equipment from FBI headquarters, and hacked into private companies all in what she feared was a futile effort to save Paige's life.
Okay, done? Good.
So handwriting analysis is interesting–for example, a strong right slant says you're impulsive and spontaneous, while a varying slant suggests you're moody, have internal conflicts and are unpredictable. Your signature is your "public image" or the image you WANT to project publicly, while your handwriting is your "private image"–the way you really are. If your signature matches your handwriting, for example, you're a "what you see is what you get" person.
There's basic standards by which all handwriting is analyzed. From Crime Library:
The primary factors for analysis are divided into four categories:
1. Form — refers to the elements that comprise the shape of the letters, proportion, slant, angles, lines, retracing, connections, and curves
2. Line Quality — refers to the results from the type of writing instrument used, and the pressure exerted, along with the flow and continuity of the script
3. Arrangement — involves the spacing, alignment, formatting, and distinctive punctuation
4. Content — this is the spelling, phrasing, punctuation, and grammar
Handwriting analysis is used in many major cases, from the Lindbergh kidnapping to the Green River Killings to the BTK murders. Often it's used to weed out copycats or publicity seekers. Killers, like the Zodiac killer, used letters to taunt police, but he also spurred a lot of fake letters (like who would WANT to be a serial killer?)
If you want to check out a creepy analysis of John Wayne Gacy's signature, go here. For Walter Railey, the analyst said here:
The outstanding characteristic of this writing is its control and tension, indicated by the writer's struggle to maintain verticality, angularity in letter forms and along the baseline, plus narrow letters, all revealing self-control and emotional repression, and the compulsive personality type.
So now the fun. One of the points to analyze in the Sacramento Bee article is how you make your letter "f."
I thought this was really cool. What the writer said:
The standard lower-case cursive F you are taught in school has the same length and width and is a measure of your organization. If you make this perfect F, you are well-organized. But if the emphasis is on the upper loop, you plan better than you execute, while if the bottom one is bigger, you are better at action than planning.
My bottom loop is definitely bigger than my top loop. In fact, I have no top loop.
So I got to thinking: what if this is a reflection on whether we're a plotter or not? I don't plot–and my "f" shows it! What about you? Look at your "f" in the sentence you wrote and tell me what it most resembles. Big top loop? Are you a plotter? Big bottom loop? Are you a fly-by-nighter? Do you form perfectly balanced "f" loops? Maybe that means you're balanced–you plot a little, but not too much, and you get the book done.
So share your "f" and then head on over to a new, motivational writer's website called The Write Attitude and let us know what you think of the video! Enjoy 🙂

For example in a settlement a agreement is it possible to get an insurance company to pay for "your" attorney's contingency fee whether it be the 33% b4 trial , or 40% going to trial. Is there any way to include that so that or medical bills dont come out the lump sum received by the plantiff ? In a case which the (defendant other driver ) was 100% at fault?

That is not the way it works - Your questions indicate that you definitely need the assistance of a good personal injury attorney. Consult a local attorney ASAP
This is not intended to be legal advise or as legal representation. I am a California personal injury attorney . Be aware that every state has its own statute of limitations; and statutes & case laws that govern the handling of these matters.
Car / Auto Accident Lawyer
You can include whatever you want in the settlement agreement as long as both parties agree. In my experience, the insurance company almost never agrees to pay attorney fees to the other side. Also, in Michigan your auto attorney is not allowed to charge more than a one-third attorney fee.
Personal Injury Lawyer
Your question evidences some misimpressions about the personal injury system and the role of a settlement in that system. The answer to your question is not really but you should talk with your lawyer as it looks like you have one from the way your question is drafted.
Personal Injury Lawyer
Don't play lawyer, retain one.
Car / Auto Accident Lawyer
You absolutely should consult with an experienced car accident attorney to represent you in your case. Having legal representation can make all the difference in receiving a proper settlement in a car accident case. Best of luck.
Workers' Compensation Lawyer
It appears you are relying on the insurance companies' claim representatives. They work for the insurance company, not you. Please follow the recommendations to consult with a local personal injury attorney.
The opinion above should not be interpreted to be legal advice but rather an opinion. Attorney / Client relationship is not being established by the comments contained above.
Car / Auto Accident Lawyer
Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? No.
There are few situations where the insurance company will voluntarily pay for your attorney's fees.
Furthermore, I'm not sure which attorney is charging you 40% because that exceeds the maximum an attorney can charge a client in a personal injury lawsuit.
Good luck to you,
Thomas James, Esq
Trial Attorney at MichiganAutoLaw

This question offen comes up for tax purposes regarding the way the settlement is structuted. You should talk to your attorney about how the settlement will be structured, and this will also depend on how your attorney fee agreement is structured. Part of the reason you are paying your attorney 33% is to explain things like this to you, so get your moneys worth. Best Wishes.

LOOK: Justice League Assembles in First Team Photo
Comic Books, Film
In honor of the seventy-fifth anniversary of Batman, we're doing four straight months of polls having to do with Batman. Future installments will deal with Batman creators and stories, but this month will be about Batman's allies and his villains.
You all voted, now here are the results (40 bad guys, 35 good guys for a total of 75)! Here is a list of all the characters revealed so far. We continue with Allies #20-16…
NOTE: There's so many images in these pieces that I'll be breaking them up over two pages.
10. Mister Freeze
Mister Freeze (created by Bill Finger, Sheldon Moldoff and Charles Paris) is possibly the most interesting example in Batman's Rogues Gallery of the power of outside media on the popularity of a comic book character. Originally introduced in 1959, he went by the name Mr. Zero…
He didn't show up that often. However, then the 1966 Batman series had Mr. Zero on the show, only calling him Mr. Freeze. So he then appeared in Detective Comics under his new name…
Again, though, while Mr. Freeze was definitely more popular than Mr. Zero, he was not exactly all THAT popular. His generic "dude with a freeze gun" motif did not exactly endear him to Batman writers and Chuck Dixon ended up killing him off in 1992 (victim of Joker's electric joy buzzer). However, right around that same time, the Batman Animated Series was coming up with a new, tragic origin for Mr. Freeze, as he is now Victor Fries, a scientist desperate to save his dying wife by cryogenically freezing her but the cyrogenics experiment backfired and he ended up as Mister Freeze.
This new haunting origin made him a much more interesting character and writers have used him much more frequently since then. He even made it into a Batman movie (although perhaps he would have preferred not to).
9. Poison Ivy
Poison Ivy is an odd little duck. Introduced by Robert Kanigher, Sheldon Moldoff and Joe Giella, she first appeared as a normal crook, just one with a great deal more flair than most…
Soon she developed into more of an expert in toxins and stuff like that. Sort of like the Captain America villain Viper.
She also gained an origin and a name (Lillian Rose) from Gerry Conway that Neil Gaiman later retconned for the cooler Pamela Isley origin, which is still around to this day (read about that in this old Abandoned an' Forsaked).
Over time, she gained plant powers and that made her a much cooler villain and I think helped her popularity a ton. Anyone recall who was it that exactly gave her her powers for the first time? Here she is using her powers in No Man's Land, taking revenge over Clayface, who had imprisoned her for a time…
In recent years, she has taken on more of an anti-hero role (she even got decent support on the allies voting), even working with Catwoman and Harley Quinn for a while in an informal team.
She was a member of the Birds of Prey in the new 52 but she seems to be more of a villain as of late.
8. Catwoman
Catwoman first debuted in Batman #1 by Bill Finger, Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson as a traditional thief right out of the pulps…
"Papa spank." Yikes.
The next issue was the first to begin calling her Cat-Woman.
She soon became one of Batman's most popular villains, appearing regularly through the 1940s and 50s…
(although there were occasional times even back then that she tried to reform) but by the time that Julie Schwartz took over the book she was not a regular feature in the book but when the Batman series debuted in 1966 and she appeared on THAT, then she was brought back to the title with a new look…
later in that issue, she went back to being a crook.
Over the years, Catwoman spent more and more time on the side of angels. Frank Miller changed her origin post-Crisis and she had more of a hard edge to her. At the same time, she became more and more of a hero to the point where she was really about as much of a hero as anyone else.
She and Batman also had a go at a relationship in a famous moment in Hush…
In the new 52, she is a thief once again but still mostly a hero.
Go to the next page for #7-6!
Well, got 4 of the 5. I didn't have Bane, not because I don't like him, but he had a great start and end (pre-Nu52), but the middle was a lot of crap. In fact, Bane was going downhill from the moment Azbats beat him. Did Bruce ever get to prove he could take a Venom strong Bane? Then he basically became a henchman. Secret Six basically saves the character.
Thought Catwoman would be a little higher. But maybe too many ally votes. But I had her, Scarecrow, Ivy, and Mr. Freeze on there. Can't remember when Ivy became a plant goddess. They tied her into Jason Woodrue, but that was I think after she suddenly had powers. And the whole bit about Mr. Freeze being defined by other media is so true. It made him more than just another in a line of Captain Cold guys with an ice gun.
I'm not sure the Scarecrow's really that unchanged: the use of fear chemicals rather than just a gun and then his being classed as totally insane amounts to a big change over the years. And now we have him in Nu52 as yet another villain traumatized by childhood abuse. As if we didn't have enough of them already.
Bane. There's probably an alternate universe where his rise from the bottom to greatness led to something interesting, but the breaking of Batman never worked for me–I just never felt he was that good.
Poison Ivy has definitely gotten more interesting than the original Sexy Bad Girl.
I have always like Mr Freeze, beginning even before I read any comics. I do not think I would have put him so high on the list, but congratulations to him anyway.
I thought his Batman The Animated Series stories were great, but I never liked how they influenced the comics. I did not like how the comics just adopted his origin as if that was how it had always been. I would have been better if the dead wife back story was a newly discovered fact. The Animated costume never looked that good in the DCU comic books either. The name Victor Freise was horrible, too.
Like M-Wolverine, I think Bane had a good start, but was not well served later. Legacy was good, but he was more of a henchman there.
Bane ended up dying in Gotham Knights right? After he found out King Snake was his father. Then he sowed up okay in Infinite Crisis, because of a super-punch to the walls of reality I guess.
I think Poison Ivy's role as an ecoterrorism is mostly from the cartoon. (As late as Suicide Squad, she's merely evil.)
I'm pleasantly surprised Penguin's in the top 5.
Bane survived Gotham Knights. King Snake shot him, but Bruce dunked him in a Lazarus Pit to save him. King Snake died, but Bane wandered off to try to lead his new life and hopefully find a better way of living., He then appears in Infinite Crisis as a villain again with no explanation as to how he went from this sort of anti-hero back to back breaking bad guy.
I think I voted for most of the villains here. This is certainly the big guns section of Batman villains.
This is a great, great batch of villains, as is appropriate for so high up. I'd say Bane is the sole exception, because Secret Six is the only time I've been remotely interested in him, but it's not like his ranking is any big surprise. Doomsday would likely rank high amid Superman's foes for similar reasons, despite being just a one-note '90s plot device.
Here's where Red Rum-18's Iron Bat villains start to get more intense:
-Mr. Freeze was mixed with the first Blizzard to make Dr. Victor Shapanka, aka Mr. Blizzard.
-Poison Ivy was mixed with Plantman/Blackheath to make Black Ivy, a former student of the Botanist (Floronic Man/Brother Nature), and a former member of the Thunder Squad (Suicide Squad/Thunderbolts).
-Catwoman was mixed with Madame Masque to make Madame Cat, daughter of Count Zeus (Maxie Zeus/Count Nefaria), and a former student of the martial artist Master Midas (Armless Master/Mordecai Midas).
-Scarecrow was mixed with the Living Laser to make the Living Scare, a founding member of the Secret Society of Evil (Secret Society of Super-Villains/Masters of Evil).
-Bane was mixed with Sunset Bain to make Sunset, who's powered by the drug VNM (Venom/Mutant Growth Hormone).
George Sanders' turn as Mr Freeze in the 'Sixties television show is one of the highlights of the series, but I'm still surprised that Mr Freeze ranked so high.
Never liked Bane. A bare chest and a gimp mask is not a good look – not very practical either.
I didn't realize that was Sanders. A great choice for the role, though.
@Fraser – "but the breaking of Batman never worked for me–I just never felt he was that good."
I agree. It might have worked better if the writers had introduced Bane prior to Knightfall. If Batman and Bane had already fought to a standstill and then – following the mass escape from Arkham – Bane breaks his back, it might have felt a bit less contrived.
It would have helped, if various allies hadn't kept telling Batman to slow down. No doubt, the writers imagined by having Batman refuse to sleep or eat until every last villain was returned to Arkham, they were demonstrating his determination and obsessiveness, but instead, he just comes across as a bit of an idiot.
@Fraser – "I didn't realize that was Sanders. A great choice for the role, though."
Three actors played Mr Freeze in the 'Sixties – George Sanders, Otto Preminger and Eli Wallach – Sanders is the best.
There is a story, that about the time Arnold Schwarzenegger signed on to play Mr Freeze in the 'Nineties. Eli Wallach appeared on David Letterman and said, 'I got paid $400 to play that part and now he is getting $40m'. Schwarzenegger saw the show and sent Wallach a set of dumbbells, with a note that said, 'use these and maybe you'll get paid $40m too.'
Bernard: If I recall, in the lead up to Knightfall Batman was having medical problems, necessitating that he go and see Sondra Kinsolving for treatment. It wasn't so much that he refused to sleep or eat so much as he couldn't.
I wouldn't blame you if you forgot about those issues. DC never saw fit to collect them, even when they did a more comprehensive collection of KnightSaga leading up to the release of The Dark Knight Rises.
Bane, and Knightfall, are brilliant in their conception, and Knightfall, at least, in its execution, though Bane lost his "pop" as a character over time through over- and mis- use.
Here you had a villain who was extremely intelligent, calculating, and patient, and practically admired Batman as much as he wanted to destroy him.
Comparisons made to Doomsday and Death of Superman are superficial. Doomsday didn't even receive an origin story until well after Death of Superman. He was truly one-note, and outside of, say, Hunter/Prey, was never really utilized that well. Bane had a mythos, a short mythos, but a mythos, and a better build up. And a personality.
I know that Dini and Timm didn't like him, because in BTAS, Bane was little more than a thug, but Bane was really interesting at the beginning, until around the time he became a punchline (though I did like Bane of the Demon).
Bane was my #3 Bat villain.
Excited to see Ivy, my favorite, so high. That scene with Clayface from No Man's Land is chilling.
Don't know why, but I've always preferred Mr Zero to Mr Freeze as a name. Perhaps because it's a bit less on the nose?
Regarding Poison Ivy, it's interesting to see that she was inspired by Hawthorne's "Rappaccini's Daughter. Counting MARVEL's Carmilla Black, that makes two characters who were derived from "Rappaccini's Daughter."
Bane was probably the most successful version of "Anti-Batman", in that like Prometheus or Owlman or Wrath, he has that dark mirror origin story, which fueled his rage into training to be a pretty bad dude. Bruce was born in a world or privilege, while Bane didn't have shit in the South American prison outside his natural smarts and athletic abilities. Its like that popular line from Dark Knight Rises, "you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, moulded by it." And like Batman, he doesn't get on sheer physical prowess, but masterminds a plan to take Bruce out.
Of course, the problem is that he's a character created for one specific story, like Dr. Hurt earlier, so besides Batman rising up and beating him in a rematch, what else do you do?
Secret Six, that's what you do. The best version of Bane, baby.
There is a story, that about the time Arnold Schwarzenegger signed on to play Mr Freeze in the 'Nineties. Eli Wallach appeared on David Letterman and said, 'I got paid $400 to play that part and now he is getting $40m'. Schwarzenegger saw the show and sent Wallach a set of dumbbells, with a note that said, 'use these and maybe you'll get paid $40m too.'
I hope this isn't a true story, but it sounds just like something Schwarzenegger would do.
Wallach has made some true movie classics of all time – Baby Doll, The Misfits, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly – in his filmography.
Arnold is the luckiest meathead that ever lived, with a few films like Terminator under his belt. (And I love Red Sonja as a guilty pleasure.) Arnold also made some real crap, like The Last Action Hero, and his Mr. Freeze was the worst thing that was ever in a Batman movie.
I can't believe I've commented on this thread without the obligatory sign-off!
Freeze you later,
Hoosier, while I agree Wallach is far superior as an actor (IIRC he has a great supporting role in the film Cinderella Liberty too), Ah-nuld is more than just lucky. He schmoozed well with the Hollywood press and picked lots of projects that had box office potential, enough to make him a major star (to paraphrase a friend of mine,it's almost more impressive someone with his limited range became as big as he did). Though yes, he starred in lots of misfires too. And was apparently a complete dick to a lot of people.
I'll have to go back and watch the Sanders episodes because I love him. The only TV I've seen him in was a Mission Impossible episode not long before he died and he's pretty much sleepwalking through it.
Anyone recall who was it that exactly gave her her powers for the first time?
Wasn't it Jason Woodrue, the Floronic Man? I thought everyone knew that.
I like a lot of Arnold's movies, like Red Heat and the Conan movies. But that story about sending barbells to Wallach, if true, can't be categorized as anything but a jerk move.
From this list #10-6, voted for Scarecrow and Bane. I thought that Bane would be in the top 5. I imagine that the 3 left from my top ten villains list, Two-Face, Ra's al Ghul and The Joker are gonna be in the top 5.
I checked the Mr Freeze story online and keep coming across the same variation: Wallach complained to his wife and his wife told him to lift weights. I'm betting that's the real story, as much fun as the Arnold version would have been
Awesome, this means my #1, K. Tut, is top 5!!!
interesting thought catwoman would be higher like at number six. followed by bane who proved how smart he is as a baddie by figuring out how one beats batman. mr. freeze always liked the guy mostly because his story is something almost out of a shakespearin tragedy. poison ivy always found her more interesting once she got her powers over plants. ala a evil female swamp thing almost . scarecrow one of the few bat baddies who hasn't changed much given how his weapon is fear . plus also he was used on the old super friends cartoon as part of the legion of doom
I'm surprised Scarecrow beat out Catwoman. She must have lost a decent amount of votes as an Ally.
That dumbell story is a great one. I don't think Arnold comes off as a dick at all, I think it's just funny. After all, if the story is true, Wallach is the one that basically threw the first stone. Seems like fairly good-natured ribbing between the two.
Jazzbo: I wouldn't say Wallach threw a stone as such. He just made an observation.
Poison Ivy was first shown with plant controlling powers in the chilling Neil Gaiman story "Pavane", where she went from a cheesy Silver Age seductress to a lethal threat worthy to be incarcerated in Arkham. Gaiman then developed her plant goddess persona further in his graphic novel Black Orchid. The Neil Gaiman Ivy stories have played a defining role in her complexity ever since.
Bane, Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy all ranked this high? You folks must really love that "Batman & Robin" movie.
Bane, Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy all ranked this high? You folks must really love that "Batman & Robin" movie.
If the Wallach/Schwartznegger story is true, I don't think Arnie comes out of it too badly. Surely, he is being quite self-deprecating? By sending the dumbbells, he is suggesting that the only reason he is worth $40m is because of the size of his muscles.
If anyone comes out of this badly, it is the Batman television show. Wallach got $400 for a part that was shown around the world and is still getting repeated nearly fifty years later.
Mr. Freeze was my #8, Poison Ivy closed out my ballot, Scarecrow was one place higher and Bane ended up at #7.
Funny that some of my placings reflected the final countdown.
I much preferred the Wrath to Bane as an anti-Batman, but the Wrath was a one-shot foe (or should have been. Hated the attempt at a sequel from some years back).
Glad to see that Crazy Quilt made it to the top five; I'm more than a little surprised but can't deny that I'm pleased by this.
Crazy Quilt actually did appear early on, but now I'm wondering whether Calendar Man or the Penny Plunderer just might win this thing.
Ivy and Scarecrow both were on my lists. Two of my favorite villains. My all-time favorite Scarecrow moment is actually in Sandman though – there's are two great scenes that bookend the Dr. Destiny story in the first story arc of Sandman, and it's been etched in my mind ever since.
Crazy Quilt actually did appear early on, but now I'm wondering whether Calendar Man or the Penny Plunderer just might win this thing.
Crazy Quilt hasn't shown up yet!
You said YET, Brian.
And I'd have to lean towards Otto's "Wild" Mr. Freeze. (Though apparently he wasn't very popular with the cast.
And I'm not sure how I or the rest of the comments got this far without….I'll just leave this here…
Let it GOOOOOOOOOOO!
Ohhhhh, I misremembered. It was that showed up in a Cover Theme Game recently.
Who was that artist on the Poison Ivy NML story? That was beautiful stuff
Who was that artist on the Poison Ivy NML story? That was beautiful stuff
Off the top of my head without checking, I believe it is Dan Jurgens inked by Bill Sienkiewicz (quite a unique combo).
Bane? Seriously?
Bane was good in Knightfall but has been forgettable since then -so not good enough for my vote
unlike the other 4
Catwoman has such a long history as ally, enemy and ambiguously between them that I included her in both lists.
Was there anything that Bruce Timm and Batman TAS series did that WASN'T pure gold? Besides being a great series it gave us Renee Montoya, Harley Quinn, and a better back story for Mr. Freeze.

Hey there,
today I upgraded to the new version of Polylang - a mistake, it would seem, because I noticed the top menu of the German version of my site didn't work any more. I tried to re-activate it in the menu settings, but without success.
I tried switching on and off the header menu in German, too, and now I can't get in on anymore, either. So, no menus in German.
I already tried de-activating any plugins that might interfere, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. So it must have something to do with Polylang, directly. I reaaly need it fixed... is there something you can do?
Here's my page, in case it's of any use: http://www.artilstudio.com
Thanks a lot in advance!

Brian Banks
"NEWARK — It's been almost four years since Enemy By Mourning started playing rock shows around central Ohio. But guitarist Brian Banks still gets a rush when he hears the band's lyrics being sung by the crowd. "It's fun when you see people out changing 'EBM' before we even start," he said. "It's cool to see local people know the words to your songs." Since 2009, Banks and his longtime friends Jonathon Boyer, bass, Rob Burchard, drums, and Zagg Omicron, vocals, have been bringing their unique musical style to venues in Licking and Franklin counties. They recently took some time away from playing to focus on their new CD, "Unfinished Battles," which they released in April. Now they're working to share their new material with their fans, Banks said. "Every song sounds completely different," Banks said. "We simply sound like Enemy by Mourning. No one sounds quite like we do." (go to link to read the full story)"

The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer

Kindle EditionMP3 CDAudio CDPaperbackPreloaded Digital Audio Player
(The Emperor of All Maladies is a magnificent, profoundly humane ?biography? of cancer?from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist's precision, a historian's perspective, and a biographer's passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with?and perished from?for more than five thousand years. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out ?war against cancer.? The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist. From the Persian Queen Atossa, whose Greek slave cut off her malignant breast, to the nineteenth-century recipients of primitive radiation and chemotherapy to Mukherjee's own leukemia patient, Carla, The Emperor of All Maladies is about the people who have soldiered through fiercely demanding regimens in order to survive?and to increase our understanding of this iconic disease. Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.
Amazon Best Books of the Month, November 2010: "In 2010, about six hundred thousand Americans, and more than 7 million humans around the world, will die of cancer." With this sobering statistic, physician and researcher Siddhartha Mukherjee begins his comprehensive and eloquent "biography" of one of the most virulent diseases of our time. An exhaustive account of cancer's origins, The Emperor of All Maladies illustrates how modern treatments--multi-pronged chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, as well as preventative care--came into existence thanks to a century's worth of research, trials, and small, essential breakthroughs around the globe. While The Emperor of All Maladies is rich with the science and history behind the fight against cancer, it is also a meditation on illness, medical ethics, and the complex, intertwining lives of doctors and patients. Mukherjee's profound compassion--for cancer patients, their families, as well as the oncologists who, all too often, can offer little hope--makes this book a very human history of an elusive and complicated disease. --Lynette Mong

Time to Trim TeachersWritten by Michael Tennant
Contrary to President Obama's claims, laying off public-school teachers won't hurt educational outcomes or the economy; in fact, it will do just the opposite says the free market Cato Institute's Andrew Coulson.
Now that the Supreme Court has effectively rewritten the Affordable Care Act to find the mandate to purchase health insurance constitutional and President Obama has been implementing some of his legislative agenda with executive orders, members of Congress might wonder if they really are the nation's lawmakers.
The United Nations is actively trying to infiltrate American classrooms with a curriculum designed to transform our students into better "global citizens."
The initiative, known as UN Global Classrooms, is being marketed by the global government in waiting as a way to inculcate students with the "valuable insight into the growing influence of globalization."
In yet another victory for the forces of politically correct insanity, voters in North Dakota voted to dump the mascot of the University of North Dakota (UND). The Fighting Sioux are no more.
According to the Bismarck Tribune, more than 67 percent of voters approved of Measure 4, a ballot initiative that ended the long struggle between the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and its supporters, on the one hand, and those who love and revere the formidable-looking Indian logo the school has used for many moons.
Davis High School in Kaysville, Utah, was fined $15,000 by the federal government for inadvertently leaving a soda pop vending machine running during its lunch period, demonstrating that letting Washington unconstitutionally subsidize education, including school lunches, virtually guarantees that the feds will unconstitutionally micromanage local schools.

The accurate fitting of a circle to noisy measurements of circumferential points is a much studied problem in the literature. In this paper, we present an interpretation of the maximum-likelihood estimator (MLE) and the Delogne-Kasa estimator (DKE) for circle-center and radius estimation in terms of convolution on an image which is ideal in a certain sense. We use our convolution-based MLE approach to find good estimates for the parameters of a circle in digital images. In digital images, it is then possible to treat these estimates as preliminary estimates into various other numerical techniques which further refine them to achieve subpixel accuracy. We also investigate the relationship between the convolution of an ideal image with a "phase-coded kernel" (PCK) and the MLE. This is related to the "phase-coded annulus" which was introduced by Atherton and Kerbyson who proposed it as one of a number of new convolution kernels for estimating circle center and radius. We show that the PCK is an approximate MLE (AMLE). We compare our AMLE method to the MLE and the DKE as well as the Crame´r-Rao Lower Bound in ideal images and in both real and synthetic digital images.

- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
- Mix peanut butter and sugar.
- Add in egg and vanilla.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

Great, simple cookies! We enjoyed the addition of the vanilla - it adds a nice hint to each cookie. Thanks for sharing! PAC Spring '11
I make this flourless cookies all the time, except I don't use any butter. I use 1 tsp. of vanilla. This cookies are awesopme! Never tried them with butter. They are good without it.
I love these cookies.The recipe is from the depression.I add a splash of Vanilla and can never bake them longer than 10 min.I also dip a fork in sugar to flatten. Thanks for posting it.

I found this movie kind of funny, and I can't say that it was truly horrible like some of the other things I've seen on this site, but it's not exactly high quality either. It's short, but that alone isn't enough to lose points over. The animation quality isn't that good, but it's not too bad either, except at the beginning. The sound is good, but a little fuzzy for me, though that may not be entirely your fault. For your first flash though, this isn't bad at all. 3/5 7/10
thankyou mah goodman
Is a good flash,hope you make a few more.
not sure if i will but maybee....

Tool helps investigators unlock passwords and crypto keys
Passwords are intended to let only authorized users access files and information while keeping everyone else out. But what do you do when, for a legitimate reason such as an investigation, you need to know someone's password?
If you don't have the owner's cooperation, there are tools available to help locate or guess passwords and cryptographic keys, such as Passware Kit Forensic, which scans computers for password-protected files and then searches for the passwords using algorithms to uncover them.
Passware is a password recovery and electronic discovery company, whose customers include the Internal Revenue Service, Secret Service, Senate, Supreme Court, and the Defense, Justice and Homeland Security departments. The kit's tools can enforce password policies or recover passwords.
Related stories:
Access control is easy — unless you're doing it for everyone
Will digital certificates replace passwords?
Crowbar cracks SD cards and retrieves data without a trace
Sometimes the task is easy, even if the passwords are encrypted.
"It's not really secure," Passware president Dmitry Sumin said of the Web browser-based encryption commonly used to protect passwords. And Microsoft's Office 2003 uses a 40-bit encryption key to protect files. "It is possible to find the key based on the file type" in a matter of minutes, he said.
Full-disk encryption, done right, can be nearly impossible to crack, he said. "If the encryption is strong enough, we use dictionary and brute-force attacks."
The point of strong passwords and encryption is to make guessing keys and passwords through brute-force attacks difficult. But Passware addresses that challenge through distributed computing, harnessing the computing power of multiple workstations to work on a single password or key problem. Software agents installed on networked computers take advantage of unused computing cycles to speed the process. Passware Kit can support hundreds of agents, although adding even a few additional computers on a task can noticeably speed the process, Sumin said.
Passware Kit also supports hardware accelerators, such as graphics processing units and Tableau TACC1441 hardware, to hasten the process.
However, the software does not need to rely solely on chance and brute force. Knowing the encryption algorithms and password policies that protect files can help tell it what to look for, which reduces the odds somewhat.
That still does not guarantee success against a determined adversary with good tools, Sumin said.
"If we're talking about a highly paranoiac pedophile, it could be impossible to get into the file," he said. Passware Kit is one more tool in the investigator's kit. "We are improving the chances."

Cycle mode delivers a route that best suits a rider, with paths and roads with less traffic included in the calculation.
The city test mainly involves bench tests carried out in Sydney, as past results in various cities showed very little difference between models in built-up areas in terms of distances and arrival times. However, assessments of speed of recovery when coming out of tunnels and recalculations after a missed turn are carried out in the field. Our tester also selects various regional locations, and performs two sets of distance calculations for each location. The total of the predicted distances is calculated; the more accurate the predicted distance, the better the score.

This is a very handy feature if you happen to be travelling in an unfamiliar city as you will be shown when to start moving over to a better lane before doing that mad dash once you realise you are in the wrong lane for a turn off.
Instead of telling you to turn right at the next intersection, or even turn right into George Street, landmark guidance will tell you to turn right at the large yellow building, or just before the shopping centre. This can be much more effective (until, of course, they paint that building).
Our tester assesses how easy it is to install and use the menu structure on the touchscreen. He also looks at the quality of the display data such as distance to next turn and street name and turn direction symbols.
