Erin Currie: 100 Creatives
Number 65: Erin Currie
City: Minneapolis
Years spent living in MN: Mostly all 35.
Toymaker, artist, and clothing designer Erin Currie is perhaps best known for her Curster series, a line of vinyl gnomes, beasties, and bunnies with wide eyes and mischievous facial expressions. Her pieces have cultivated a cult following on etsy and at Manufactory, a Lyn-Lake store that she co-owns with her husband Dave and Suzy Greenburg. In addition to stitching up unique toys, Currie has also exhibited her darkly whimsical paintings, and in recent years she has even ventured into clothing design, creating bold, gothic pieces for Dollmighty, a semi-yearly show hosted at the Soo Visual Arts Center.
Name three things inspiring your work right now:
1. The deep sea and all its strange inhabitants. As a Minnesotan, I can appreciate any creature who makes camp where others dare not go.
2. The year of the Rabbit, from which I am.
3. And lastly, the sorry state of the union. Making due with less always dredges up new ways to do things.
Name three things that inspired and/or motivated you as a budding creative type:
1. Family
2. Cartoons
3. Sci-fi
What was your last big project?
That would be Dollmighty, the fashion show I did at SooVac last year. So, so many clothes.
What do you have going on now or coming up in the near future that should be on our radar?
Well, last summer myself, my husband Dave, and Suzy Greenburg teamed up to open our own retail space MANUFACTORY, so that's where I've been funneling everything. At the end of April, Dollmighty will rear its pretty little head again for a special event with SooVac, and it will probably trickle over to the store.
Creative/career high point (so far)?
Probably getting my first toy, Curster's YETI, manufactured and distributed.
What has been your biggest challenge as an artist?
Apparently owning a vinyl demon is not necessary for most people, so don't count on reading about me in Forbes any time soon. But I can't really help it; smarter people than I tell me what I "should" do with my pocket of skills all the time--and I completely agree! Then I go make a toy.
How has the local scene changed since you began your career?
Not much actually, but I'm hardly the one to ask. From my perspective, which is from behind some sort of needle, not at all. Occasionally I turn my Darth Vader poster over and look at the James Bond side for a while.
Name another local artist that you're currently excited about:
I'd have to go with Kit Lane. She has needle felted her way into my heart.
What was your favorite toy growing up?
A stuffed raccoon named Rachel. My parents bought her for me in the gift shop at Children's Hospital when I destroyed my right arm (a.k.a. "The Terminator").
You are forced to become one of your creations. Which do you choose, and why?
Easy, one of the Girls. Why? They are the only girls in Cursterland. And they run the show. But in reality I would probably have more in common with a monkey, or a minion.
Do you have a suggestion for someone whose work we should be checking out? Feel free to leave your top picks in the comments.

Xiu Xiu delivers the fun for Baton Rouge clubgoers
Published: Thursday, April 5, 2007 at 11:48 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 5, 2007 at 12:07 p.m.
BATON ROUGE -- It was shortly after midnight when Xiu Xiu frontman Jamie Stewart peered to the back of the cramped Red Star Bar this past Friday night and asked for the soundman to adjust the sound for what must have been the 15th time.
The crowd, which featured an unusually high number of people wearing headbands, seemingly echoed a collective "not again." Opening act Shearwater had finished its set nearly an hour earlier. It was an exceptional set, highlighted by Jonathan Meiburgs stunning falsetto, which at times was reminiscent of Antony of Antony and the Johnsons fame, and drummer Thor Harris lionesque mane.
The crowd of 100 or so in attendance craved music with theatrical vocals, disturbing lyrical imagery and inventive instrumentation. Indeed, they craved the sounds of the experimental band from San Francisco named Xiu Xiu (pronounced "shoo-shoo").
But with every "Can you adjust the volume/sound of (insert instrument) please?" the expectations for the dystopian band to produce a utopian sound continued to grow. Meanwhile, as the sound check dragged along, Stewart, who writes passages that make Joy Division sound radiant, joked with bandmates and surprisingly seemed tension free.
He had good reason to be.
Xiu Xiu reigned supreme for the next hour and a half, playing songs from their recent album "The Air Force," as well as their albums "La Foret" and "Fabulous Muscles."
For the most part, the band shied away from its slower numbers, instead utilizing drummer Ches Smiths breakneck drumming to their advantage on songs like New Order cover "Ceremony" and band staple/show closer "Crankheart".
Thats not to say Stewart didnt have ample time to emote. He did. But the rooms atmosphere was fun, not glum.
The cover of "Ceremony" was a particularly inspired choice. It shimmered along briskly thanks to the combination of a sample and a smooth beat by Smith, whose drum kit featured quite possibly the tallest hi-hat and fattest cymbal known to man. He also played what appeared to be a xylophone, and, at seemingly random times, spun the massive cymbal like a turntable to elicit strange noises.
Meanwhile, Stewart sang/shouted his dark heart out, as cousin and fellow member Caralee McElroy played her harmonium, which is a sort of mutant keyboard/accordian. McElroy, who bares a striking resemblance to Maggie Gyllenhaal, also provided percussion on a handful of songs.
Another highlight was "Bishop, CA" off last years The Air Force, which started with a galloping sample beat, broke in the middle for a monolithic wall of sound and finished with Stewart repeating the oddly catchy refrain of "Walla, walla, walla, walla, hey, hey" as Smith swooped in to seal the deal.
It was a deal worth the wait.

WASHINGTON — A Democratic Minnesota congressman is introducing a constitutional amendment designed to overturn the Supreme Court's decision in the Citizens United case that lifted many restrictions on corporate spending in political elections.
Rep. Rick Nolan unveiled the proposal on Monday along with members of Move to Amend, a grassroots coalition that has been seeking support on the local level in communities for the amendment. They say political campaign spending should not be a form of speech protected under the First Amendment.

Much is being made of rumors that the Vatican will soon issue a decree mandating that the priest celebrate the Mass ad orientem ("toward the East" and, presumably, with his back to the people). I would like to support that, but only if we take the spirit of the proposal seriously and follow through completely with what the supporting arguments actually require.
There are two basic arguments in support of the priest praying ad orientem. The first is historical: there is considerable documentary evidence (nicely summarized in John Baldovin's Reforming the Liturgy: A Response to the Critics) that this was the dominant, though not exclusive, orientation of the priest in the church's ancient worship. The second argument is liturgical: this reorientation would help recover the eschatological focus of the worshiping community as all pray in anticipation of the final coming of Christ. Worship ad orientem would remind us that the act of worship is not a closed conversation (the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger had complained of a "closed circle") between presbyter and assembly; it is a shared conversation between the whole assembly, including the presbyter, and God. This change would also counteract the tendency in some worshiping communities for the presbyter to be the focus of attention.
But the general thrust of these arguments suggests that a...

Two recent deaths on Arizona's highways are a grim reminder to motorists to stay focused – and move over.
The Town of Marana has a rich history, but the construction of I-10 in the 1960s demolished many the historic businesses in what was then the center of town.

Water supply in Oro Valley is an integral part of our community for both public health and economic vitality. Having an adequate water supply is fundamental to the quality of life for any community. Having and maintaining adequate water supplies in the arid West will always be a challenge. But in Oro Valley, whether it is drought, climate change, growth, politics or other challenges, you will still have adequate water supply, because we are taking the steps to ensure our community has water now and into the future.
In the coming weeks, countless students will be making a return to the halls of their elementary, middle or high school for the first time since leaving behind the books and the study sessions back in May.

[Pete's] invented a product called an AIR Patch Cable designed to interface with an airplane's intercom, and is looking to manufacture and assemble them himself — unfortunately, the circuit boards are tiny, and SMD components aren't exactly the easiest to install. So he decided to build a pick and place machine to do it for him!
It's not finished yet, but [Pete] has reached a major milestone — he's finished the base CNC machine aspect of it. He opted for a kit build for the major mechanical components, the Shapeoko 2 — its a solid design and if you decided to make something from scratch it'd probably cost much more and take a lot longer.
From there he began selecting his electronics individually. He's chosen the Big Easy Driver by Sparkfun to control his stepper motors, which supports a maximum size of NEMA 17 steppers, so he bought five of those too. To control it all, he's using LinuxCNC which is an excellent choice — and if you're not crazy about Linux, you can actually download Ubuntu 10.04 with LinuxCNC pre-installed for you to make it super easy — you'll just need an old dedicated PC to use.

What does this sidebar tile do?
Explanation 1: This plugin will be useful to any WordPress user who prefers to manage customizable sidebar text (e.g. "about me") from WordPress rather than from an HTML editor.
Explanation 2: Using sidebar tile plugin, you can enter and edit text to appear in your sidebar without having to open sidebar.php Instead of typing and editing text in the sidebar.php, you
type and edit some text in the Sidebar page (which you create and entitle "Sidebar"especially to enable the plugin to do its task).
Explanation 3: The plugin lets you create a static page to manage content that goes into your sidebar. To use it, create a static page called sidebar.
Then, insert the_sidebar_tile(); into your sidebar.php file where you want this page's contents to get displayed.
Explanation 4: The plugin lets you manage an area of your sidebar using WordPress' static page editor. To use it, create a static page called sidebar. This static page's contents (i.e. what you wrote in the WP editor) will display wherever you call the_sidebar_tile();.
See Sidebar tile in action
This example has been posted by Jim (jwurster,member).
http://www.jwurster.us/wordpress/ The text example is an announcement in top right sidebar, "Moving stuff to another blog".
and a temporary example - http://www.parentsawake.com/sidebartiletest/
The text example is the "OK, kids ..."
First, read the instructions by Denis
1. Activate the plugin
2. Create a page titled 'Sidebar'
3. Add <?php the_sidebar_tile(); ?> somewhere in your sidebar
4. Open Sidebar page, and type in some text eg "testing this sidebar tile plugin"
After doing these steps, what will I see?
You will see in the sidebar (in the corresponging position where you placed the snippet <?php the_sidebar_tile(); ?> in your sidebar.php) the same text "testing this sidebar tile plugin"
And ... beneath this text, a link "edit sidebar text".
Tip: a good place to put the snippet
Towards the beginning of your sidebar.php file, immediately after:
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH.'/searchform.php'); ?>
Paste the following:
<?php the_sidebar_tile(); ?>
Tip: some themes(eg kubrick) will require you to use:

<?php the_sidebar_tile(); ?>

<?php the_sidebar_tile(); ?>

The Nevada Lady Tigers beat the Joplin Lady Eagles in two straight games Tuesday night. The Tigers dominated the Eagles in game 1 winning 25-5 with the Tigers putting eight unanswered points on the board before the Eagles scored, with another run of 11 straight points later in the game. In game two the Eagles jumped to a 5-1 lead before the Tigers clawed their way back to a 7-7 tie. With neither team able to gain an advantage the lead see-sawed back and forth with 10 ties until the Tigers scored the last three points to win 25-22. The Nevada junior varsity lost to Joplin, 22-25, 27-25, 20-25 and the freshman team lost 12-25, 16-25. "We still need to win a couple of games to be at .500," Nevada head volleyball coach Trudy Fleeman said. On Sept. 22 the Tigers played in the Carl Junction Invitational Tournament, losing to Neosho in the semi-final game. The Tigers currently are 7-9-2 for the season and play the El Dorado Springs Bulldogs on Thursday in El Dorado Springs, a game was originally scheduled to be played in Nevada. The next home match will be Oct. 2, when they host a Southwest Conference game with Carthage. Ralph Pokorny/Daily Mail

Dierks Makes List of Best-Dressed Dudes at the Grammys
Dierks listed with 10 other artists, including pop star Bruno Mars and gospel great Kirk Franklin.
Yes indeed, Dierks Bentley has something in common with LL Cool J and Drake and rock bands Mumford & Sons and Kings of Leon.
Dierks made GQ's list of the top 10 best-dressed guys at the Grammys.
Says the men's mag: "Dierks shows us that when the codes of dress are as all over as they are at these awards, sometimes going the simple route is best. The black crewneck and slacks make for a sleek silhouette, while the beat-up leather jacket breaks things up and gives a rugged edge to the country star's look."

Skip to comments.29 guns removed from the streets during Bradenton Police Department's buy-back
Posted on 06/21/2012 9:37:14 PM PDT by smokingfrog
Perhaps nothing is as sinister-looking as a sawed off shotgun, whose main mission in life is to inflict damage with a wide spray pattern of buckshot.
But three of these shotguns with shortened barrels and one sawed off .22-calber rifle were right out in the sunlight, laid side-by-side on a folding table during a gun buy-back conducted by the Bradenton Police Department.
When it was over, the department took 29 weapons off the street during its 2012 annual Father's Day Gun Buy-Back Program at two sites Sunday, said Sgt. Eddie Weldon of the Bradenton Police Department.
The department received 18 revolvers, including a .357-caliber Magnum by Smith & Wesson valued at around $400, a .38-caliber former police-issued gun and a .22-caliber handgun.
There were nine rifles received, including the three sawed-off weapons.
There were also two semi-automatic handguns turned in, including a Lorcin .380-cali
ber semi-automatic valued at about $500, which could fire eight or nine rounds with the magazine that came with it, Weldon said.
"Overall, I would say it was very successful," Weldon said of the buy-back.
(Excerpt) Read more at bradenton.com ...
One location had no guns turned in.
What were the rest?
LOL!!! Yeah right! LOL!!
Wow... Eric holder would be proud!
My only gun is a piece of junk (9mm semi) that I got in my 20's... don't really want it anymore (kids in my house, hasn't been fired in 15 years.. and not expecting the inquisition).. Anyone recommend a good place to get rid of one besides wait for one of these programs?
Take it to any gunshop.
A Lorcin worth $500?
That, I would like to see.
What brand and model is it?
I think they meant $50 LOL
Hmm. The way that is stated, one must assume that the police sold those guns to the perps / people originally.
That doesn't seem right.
All firearms sales including private and gun show sales, transfers or loans, must go through a California licensed firearms dealer.
Does it fire the 8-shot ring caps?
No it's a 22.
A gun shop or a want ad in the local paper would be a great place to find your gun a new home. Please avoid these gun grabs if possible.
If you would like, please post or PM me with the make and model and I will look up the current value for you in the Blue Book. Any gun shop will do this for you also.
He is in Ca.
Even private sales have to go though a licensed gun dealer.
Or, you could sell it on GunBroker.com
These insipid and stupid events always make me sick to my stomach. Pure liberal idiocy. The PD's from the 1920's thru the 1950's had "gun buy-back" programs, they were secret hit squads directed specifically at the underground gangs and mobsters. Slaughter the gangs and confiscate the guns.
Civil liberties violations aside I would bet a lot of money that the PD's back then had an infinitely more successful time getting guns off the streets with those directed programs and that was before there were any real 2nd amendment restrictions.
Heck, my PD still has guns from the 40's and 50's that were taken from (dead?) gangsters.
If police could be trusted to successfully target only those who need targeted much like in the 1920's-1950's we could have success today just like back then. However, there are too many stupid and affirmative action hires in law enforcement and the ACLU has designated the criminals as victims.
More info on Ca sales.
I want to sell a gun to another person, i.e., a private party transfer. Am I required to conduct the transaction through a licensed California firearms dealer?
Yes. Firearm sales must be conducted through a fully licensed California firearms dealer. Failure to do so is a violation of California law. The buyer (and seller, in the event that the; buyer is denied), must meet the normal firearm purchase and delivery requirements. "Antique firearms," as defined in Section 921(a)(16) of Title 18 of the United States Code, and curio or relic rifles/shotguns, defined in Section 178.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations that are over 50 years old, are exempt from this requirement.
Firearms dealers are required to process private party transfers upon request. Firearms dealers may charge a fee not to exceed $10 per firearm for conducting a private party transfer. Example:
For a private party transfer involving one or more handguns, the total allowable fees, including the DROS, safety, and dealer transfer fees, are not to exceed $35.00 for the first handgun and $31.00 for each additional handgun involved in the same transaction.
For private party transfers involving one or more long guns, or a private party transfer involving one handgun, the total allowable fees, including the DROS, safety, and dealer transfer fees, are not to exceed $35.00. The dealer may charge an additional dealer-service fee of$10.00 per each additional firearm transferred.
(PC section 12072(d))
Could the article have been ANY more biased?
How is it a "Buy-Back" unless the cops originally sold them?
29 guns taken out of the hands of elderly but desperate law abiding Americans, gang-bangers looking to trade up, or perhaps unemployed fools who should have simply been willing to give their names and sell at a reputable gun shop.
"whose main mission in life is to inflict damage with a wide spray pattern of buckshot".
Yah, probably in self-defense, at home.
I have to wonder, true short barrels, or cops not knowing how to measure them properly?
No picture provided to judge from.
If true short shotguns, they just excused felonies.
"The department received 18 revolvers, including a .357-caliber Magnum by Smith & Wesson valued at around $400, a .38-caliber former police-issued gun and a .22-caliber handgun."
Nice, cheat some old man or lady out of $400.00 at $25.00.
Guess that will get them some Alpo for dinner!
"a Lorcin .380-caliber semi-automatic valued at about $500"
In what universe? Lorcin = throw-away junk, they had a lifetime warranty because they would never sell without it.
Another effort to impress the gullible.
"No one turned in an assault rifle or automatic weapon, which were worth a $75 Bealls gift card."
Really? No one lined up to give away a gun worth around $1,000 to tens of thousands of dollars if legal, for $75.00?
Only a banger would be that anxious to dump a valuable firearm.
"A father brought in a gun his son had and that he didn't want in the house".
So, they do accept guns they KNOW to be stolen, gun did not belong to the father, how old was his son?
"a woman who is known to Smith and the East Bradenton community as being a strong anti-crime, anti-violence advocate pulled into the parking lot....... She said there are guns in this community that needed to be turned in."
Ah, the local hoplophobe, working tirelessly to deprive others of their rights.
A "Community Organizer", who no doubt expects preferential treatment from the cops if SHE has a problem, being such a superior PC specimen as she is. /s
"I think it's great they do this," said Stanley Garcia, a New Jersey resident... I'm against guns".
OK Jersey, you are against inanimate objects, but OK with your Joysey home-boy thugs?

Even private sales have to go though a licensed gun dealer."
Oops, Check your local laws, I forget private sales are forbidden some places. Gun shop or pawn shop is the place for you in Ca.
thanks mylife
And seriously, $25 gift card for Beall's? LOL
However, the state line is not far away.
Once OUTSIDE Kalifornia, they have NO jurisdiction.
It is PERFECTLY LEGAL to sell your firearm to any licensed gun dealer OUTSIDE Kalifornia.
It is NOT legal to sell directly to a private party outside Kalifornia.
No problem.
Ca has really changed since I lived there.
You used to be able to buy guns at the Scottish Rite Temple for cash on the barrel head.
Never sell a firearm across state lines without an FFL
They did have a picture gallery at the website. At least a couple of the shotguns were definitely sawed-off.
Minnesota has its share of silliness, but we can still freely trade arms for the most part.
No, perfectly legal to sell across state lines, to a licensed dealer, including pawn shops and gunsmiths.
Some old guns are worth more in parts than whole!
Not legal to sell across state lines to a private party.
Unless the the gun is a pre-1898 antique.
I wouldn't turn in this for a $75 gift card!
Could you even fathom someone turning in a class full auto worth $25k for $75?
As I said, across statelines you must use an FFL.
No matter what state you reside in.
If it's pre 1898 you can sell in to any one in the US and personally ship it via USPS legally (Not sure about HI or AK)
Did not see the gallery,nice of them to paper over actual felonies!
I wonder how many of these "Buy Back" guns were stolen, and will any effort be made to determine that?
If found to be stolen, what chance they are returned to the rightful owner?
Yes, I know the answers, no theft check, and none!
As it should be.
Send it to me :)
They forgot the decimal point. A Lorcin is worth about $5, and it might fire eight or nine rounds with the magazine. They obviously didn't get any photogenic AK47s to show off.
All gun turn-ins in Detroit feature an AK47, even if they have to bring one from the evidence locker. The rest of the haul is mostly trash.
Still, good on the Bradenton PD for getting the junk off the street. People could step on them, and break an ankle, otherwise.
I'm series; I pay the going rate for gun buy-backs around here ($50 Meijer gift card— I'll make it Wal-Mart if you don't have a Meijer by you).
Not to be argumentative, just clear.
So long as the receiving party holds an FFL, no FFL is required at the sellers end.
UPS, Fed-Ex, etc. may claim so, but it's not true.
Long guns may be shipped via USPS, if you can find a postal clerk that follows the actual regulations.
Well, All I an saying is that our friend should contact an FFL holder in Ca, and that anyone selling across state line should as well.
Our gun laws are clear as mud.
The guns are to be melted-down.
(after the cops pick out the ones they want to take home)
I think I saw an M1 carbine in the gallery.
BTW I know a guy who's brother is a cop in Ca, neither are friends of mine, and the cop in Ca has his brother buy 100 round AR15 mags an send them to him to circumvent the laws he is supposed to enforce.
Then when the asshat brother here visits the Cop in Ca takes him to the police range and they blow off tons of ammo for entertainment on the taxpayers dime.
If I lived in that state this would not be so simple for them.
I would sue to force them to check for stolen guns, and to return any found to the lawful owner.
As currently set-up, any punk could steal a gun (or several) and get up to $75.00 for it, NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
Oh, Also, The only folks that can sell across international borders without approval from the State Dept and ATF or liscensing are Eric Holder and the Justice Dept /s
Our Country is broken.
Were these guns actually on the streets?
I know people who cruise gun shows buying broken guns really cheap, just to have them to "Turn In" at the next "Buy-Back" for $100.00 each!
I know one guy who "Antiqued" several Crossman .45 replica BB guns and even cap-guns, then got $100.00 each for them from the ignorant wretch manning the "Buy-Back" booth.
Sometimes "the people" win. ;-)
So do they check if any of them are stolen or maybe used in another crime? Sounds like an easy way to get rid of a murder weapon.
Put it on here: http://www.gunauction.com/ . May as well get some money for it to buy a good gun and teach your kids how to respect and USE it.

SAO PAULO (AP) - A leading business newspaper in Brazil says U.S. drug manufacturer Pfizer Inc. is negotiating to buy a generic drug manufacturer in Brazil.
The newspaper Valor Economico says talks between Pfizer and Laboratorio Teuto Brasileiro are at an advanced stage and a could be announced in the next few weeks. Both Pfizer and Teuto declined to comment Friday.
Pfizer's reported interest in Teuto comes just days after Brazil's top appeals court ruled that Pfizer's patent on Viagra will expire next month in Brazil, opening the way for generic drug producers to sell copies of the drug.
The company has said Brazil is the third-largest market for Viagra sales.

DC did it again this week: released two chapters of the âWar of the Green Lanternsâ story. The big problem this time out, however, is they dropped a major spoiler for part four on the cover of part five. If you didnât catch that spoiler with the cover image when you clicked on this review, well, then good for you. Read on. If youâre allergic to spoilers, please click the back button and read another review. Might I recommend the âSuper Dinosaurâ review?
Now that the spoiler sensitive are gone, letâs rap a while.
Tony Bedard is given the hot potato in this issue. He has the task of taking the Rainbow Warrior Lanterns out for their first assignment following their ring selection in issue #65 of âGreen Lantern.â That first assignment is a doozy, though. They have to save Ganthet from the entire Green Lantern Corps â now possessed by Krona through the restored Parallax impurity â if they can stop bickering.
The Rainbow Brite Crew is composed of Hal Jordan now sporting the yellow ring of the Sinestro Corps, John Stewart flashing the indigo ring and trying to muster some compassion, Kyle Rayner holding onto the blue ring of hope and Guy Gardner reunited with the red ring of rage. The big debut of the Crayola Cavalry with their new rings just seems like a hard-sell marketing ploy rather than an intriguing plot development. The quartet is dynamically staged upon the two-page spread and their new powers are cleanly identified just in case this is your first exposure to the War of Light that has been raging (or is it dribbling?) through the Green Lantern books for the past five years. Thatâll be a great image to run with the inevitable action figures. For now, itâs heavy-handed and presents the first major bump in this âWarâ storyline.
I can buy the impurity being restored and allowing Krona to essentially reprogram the rings, but for the characters â THE Green Lanterns â to pony up to other colored rings, especially rings that have either (a) threatened the sanity and/or safety of these heroes, or (b) proven useless in battle alone (yes, blue ring of Hope, Iâm looking at you) leaves the characters with little to do save stand around and argue. After all, Guy Gardner nearly died being separated from the Red Ring the last time. Now, however, these characters have to find Ganthet and save the Corps, which outnumbers them by hundreds, if not thousands. That, of course, doesnât even factor in the power of the rings that the Green Lanterns still wield.
So yes, the odds are quite stacked against our heroes at the end of this issue. And no, that doesnât spoil this story one bit.
Batt handles the inking chores throughout this issue and it looks good on Tyler Kirkhamâs pencils. The art seems more cohesive throughout the entirety of the book tan recent issues. Kirkhamâs characters get a little shifty here and there, but essentially they remain true throughout the story, giving Kirkham the ability to fill out the issue with scads of detail and throngs of other Lanterns. The âWar of the Green Lanternsâ looks big in this book, and it should.
The war has boiled away five chapters so far. The sides are declared and the battles are being fought. At this point, it looks like a sure win for the Green Lanterns, but DC wouldnât dare disparage the legends of the four Green Lanterns from Earth, would they? Despite the heavy-handedness of the story as it sits at the close of its fifth installment, Iâm keen to find out.

Packers' M.D. Jennings getting edge on McMillian
Green Bay - If rookie Jerron McMillian once appeared to have an iron-clad grip on a Green Bay Packers' safety job, he doesn't anymore.
M.D. Jennings split time with McMillian opposite Morgan Burnett in sub packages against Houston and is scheduled to get substantial action Sunday in St. Louis.
"Just making sure we're getting the best guy out there and what we want out of that position," safeties coach Darren Perry said Friday. "They're both young and still learning. Until one guy just kind of nails it down we'll keep rolling them in."
Jennings, a second-year free agent from Arkansas State, was ahead of McMillian until he was pulled 15 snaps into the opener against San Francisco after he blew a coverage on a touchdown pass to Randy Moss and missed the tackle on a long run by Frank Gore.
From Game 2 to Game 5, McMillian played 234 snaps whereas Jennings hardly played with 13.
In Houston, however, Jennings made the most of his 28-26 edge in plays by making eight tackles compared to McMillian's two.
McMillian, a fourth-round draft choice from Maine, made some mistakes that proved costly the week before in Indianapolis.
"We've just got to get him consistent," Perry said, referring to McMillian. "As a young player, there will be some growing pains and some mistakes.
"He brings a toughness that you like. He's got some football savvy and instincts, and he has made some plays for us on third down. That's one of the reasons we played him."
McMillian, 5 feet 11 inches and 207 pounds, is bigger and possibly a little faster than Jennings (6-0, 196).
"He's a heady player and is rarely out of position back there," Perry said, referring to Jennings. "He's a good communicator. He's also got good ball skills. He's a lanky-looking guy that is faster than I think most people think. He's pretty good in space getting ball carriers down."
Ready to roll: Before the 2011 draft, an AFC special-teams coach said running back Johnny White of North Carolina was one of the best punt-team gunners available.
"He can catch the (expletive) out of the ball and he's a damn good special-teams player," an NFC scout said at the time. "If you're the Green Bay Packers, he's a damn good third-round or early fourth-round pick."
Awarded to the Packers off waivers from Buffalo on Monday, White figures to be active and playing special teams against the Rams.
"He can be a contributor because he's very bright," coordinator Shawn Slocum said. "He played gunner in Buffalo. He also has played fullback, wing and covered kickoffs inside and outside. He's been on punt returns. He's a kickoff returner. Done it all."
White (5-10, 210) scored 24 on the Wonderlic intelligence test and ran the 40 in 4.53 seconds. He played wide receiver and cornerback in college before switching to running back in late 2008.
In Buffalo, White rushed 36 times for a paltry 67 yards (1.9) in two exhibition seasons.
"He's a tough, downhill runner," an AFC scout said in April 2011. "Between the tackles. And he has good speed."
Slocum said linebacker Brad Jones would return to his left guard spot on the punt team. Because of injury, Jones moved to wing on the punt that was blocked by the Texans because of mistakes made by backup left guard Tom Crabtree and left tackle Rob Francois.
White could take some of Jones' load on special teams because Jones might have to play the entire game on defense in the wake of D.J. Smith's season-ending knee injury.
White will become an exclusive-rights free agent after the season with the expiration of his one-year, $465,000 contract that was assumed by Green Bay.
Injury list: C.J. Wilson will make his second straight start for nose tackle B.J. Raji (ankle), who was ruled out. Also declared out were wide receiver Greg Jennings (groin), linebacker Nick Perry (knee) and cornerback Sam Shields (shin-ankle).
Coach Mike McCarthy said he was hopeful Jennings would return next week.
Cornerback Davon House said he has tested his damaged left shoulder every way possible short of live tackling and had experienced no pain.
Linebacker Frank Zombo took a full load on the scout-team defense and appeared to have no problems with the hamstring injury that has bothered him for months.
"For missing as much time as he did I was concerned about his conditioning," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said. "But he kept himself in good shape."
In St. Louis, the Rams have an enormous problem at left tackle opposite Clay Matthews. Starter Rodger Saffold (knee) is out and backup Wayne Hunter (back), who struggled mightily as the starter the last four games, didn't even attend practice all week and is questionable.
It appears as if the starter will be Joe Barksdale (6-4½, 329), who was claimed off waivers from Oakland Sept. 27.
Barksdale, a third-round draft choice in 2011, played 152 snaps for Oakland as a rookie. He has enormous arms (36 inches) but is slow and not very tough.
Go fast: The Packers have run 110 snaps without using a huddle, or 28.2% of their plays. According to STATs, only five teams have used the no-huddle more, led by Miami and coach Joe Philbin at 58.6%.
The Packers have averaged 6.85 yards in no-huddle. Denver leads the no-huddle offenses with an 8.17 average.
Good job: Center Evan Dietrich-Smith debuted as a sixth offensive lineman with four snaps against Houston.
"He moved his guy," O-line coach James Campen said. "He's a strong kid and we had a need there."
Guard Greg Van Roten, promoted from the practice squad last week, signed a three-year, $1.44 million minimum deal.
"He has improved a lot," said Campen. "He's smart now. Calls and adjustments. You're not going to stump him very often."
A graduate of Penn, Van Roten scored 34 on the Wonderlic.
Waiting, watching: Dave McGinnis, the Rams' assistant head coach, said it appears to him that the Packers don't really worry about who is playing on the opposing defense.
"It's a pretty well-oiled machine when you watch it and it really gets going," McGinnis said Thursday. "Plus the fact those receivers are interchangeable. You don't get a bead on where a receiver lines up. They line up everywhere. They all can play all the positions.
"They understand it and that is what gives them a great opportunity to run as many plays as they do because it's at-the-line and quarterback-driven . . . they've won a lot of games with this group for a reason. They're really good at what they do."

Good track. I like the main melody a lot here. It creates an atmosphere that is somewhere between "pleasant" and "creepy", which is a real strange mix. I guess it's because you mixed some nice sounding instruments (the bells) with something that doesn't sound too nice at all: The very first instrument we can hear. I don't really know what it is, but it does sound a bit like a music box, heh.
Anyway, this mix between "pleasant" and "almost annoying", together with the humming, bassy instrument that sets in at around 1 minute into the song, creates a very interesting atmosphere.

A balanced asset allocation model portfolio is one designed to generate a steady combination of growth, income, and capital preservation. The intention is to create a combination of asset classes that results in lower overall volatility so the investor doesn't need to worry about wild market fluctuations because the holdings in their account mitigate each other to some degree.
Sample Balanced Asset Allocation Model Portfolio
A typical balanced asset allocation model portfolio may look something like this:
- 10% international large capitalization blue chip stocks
- 10% domestic large capitalization blue chip stocks
- 10% midcap stocks
- 10% small cap stocks
- 10% cash reserves
- 20% real estate
- 10% gold and silver
- 20% investment grade corporate and municipal bonds
A portfolio structured in such a way should generate dividend and interest income of at least 3% to 4% each, which would be reinvested. The asset classes would work to stabilize the overall value of the portfolio. If stocks fell 50%, it's likely that gold and silver would rise in value, offsetting some of this loss. At the same time, the real estate and bond components would be generating income that could be used to buy more undervalued stock as part of a disciplined rebalancing system.
Who Is Likely to Invest with a Balanced Asset Allocation Portfolio?
The investors most likely to benefit from a balanced asset allocation portfolio model are those who want to 1.) mitigate market volatility so that they experience far lower overall fluctuations in their net worth than the average investor, giving them greater peace of mind. It's a virtual certainty that a balanced portfolio wouldn't experience a total loss, especially if the individual asset classes were diversified. Another potential balanced investor is a wealthy retiree that doesn't need to maximize the current income he or she receives, allowing them to focus on a combination of long-term growth and current income, unlike the passive income asset allocation model portfolio, which is designed to generate the maximum sustainable cash yield even if it means lower long-term growth.

This week's FREE documentary from Snag Films is SAINT OF 9/11 presents the remarkable journey of Father Mychal Judge. Compassionate champion of the needy and forgotten, a beloved New York Fire Department Chaplain, Father Judge was a humble priest who wrestled with his own private demons while touching others in powerful and miraculous ways.
Throughout his career as a friar, he lived a life of witness, action and love. He provided hope, warmth, compassion, and acceptance. SAINT OF 9/11 weaves interviews with friend and colleagues such as Hillary Rodham Clinton, Bill Clinton, Rudy Giuliani and Malachi McCourt, congregants and Mychal's own words.
The film portrays Mychal's life as a spiritual adventure and an honest embrace of life. SAINT OF 9/11 is the story of a life's journey interrupted. Inspired by his life, the documentary embraces Mychal's full humanity.

The thought of a big, tacky, Disney wedding (gay or straight) fills me with disgust and loathing. One small step forward for gay rights, one big leap backwards for gay good taste.
I totally agree.
It's kind of refreshing to see a major company do this. Especially such a family oriented company.
Distasteful as a Disney wedding may be, I salute them for being family-oriented and having the balls to say," We have no right to judge the lifestyles of our guests. We're in the hospitality business." And for offering same-sex benefits to their employees, which is a lot more you can say for a lot of other companies.
So no one is gonna touch the "Fairy Tale/Tail" joke that's just laying out there in the open? You people let me down.
i want ariel to preside at my big lesbo wedding. she's STACKED.
You get to ride to the ceremony in the Cinderella coach and the costumed characters show up in formal attire. That is hysterical! It's not in bad taste if you know it is...Go Disney!
I vomited a little bit in my mouth when I read this. I can just see the pastel formal attire. Zgh.
But,in the words of my hero, Miss Jean Brodie, that's just the sort of thing for those who like that sort of thing.
So when is the feature-length cartoon coming that ends in the big gay wedding? Maybe they can do an update on the Frog Prince. He turns into a she when kissed, or something like that.
Gay Days as Disney are such a fun fuck fest; nice to see they're tipping their hats to the bland assimilationalist gays who so desperately want to be just like straight people.
Also, Mark @8: vomiting in your mouth (a little) has been relegated to the dust heap of dumb comment thread cliches. Throw up through your nose, or go the fuck home.
The base price is eight grand. With the LGBT wedding market projected at around a billion a year, do you think they want their piece of the pie or what? I smell a profit-driven business decision. And if Disney can hold their nose and do it, anybody can. This year, Disney World, next year, Bob Jones University!
Wait a minute! I've been boycotting Disney for "The Path to 9/11." Now the homophobes are showing up on the picket line. Eeeek!
Hmmm. No one else going to point out the probability that Disney is only finally offering this to the gays because NO ONE ELSE was willing to fork out the cash for this sort of thing?
Who else would want a big Disney fairy tale wedding but a couple of steriods-using, Abercrombie & Fitch-wearing, Jeep-driving, Schnauzer-owning, Palm Springs-vacationing queens?

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon review
Lenovo's updates its business Ultrabook with a handful of office-friendly features - but is it enough to convince you to part with over £1,000?
The ThinkPad brand has been at the forefront of business laptops for two decades, first under original owner IBM and now under the control of Lenovo.
The original ThinkPad X1, fell just short of the mark – so Lenovo's back for another crack, this time with a fully-fledged Ultrabook.
Classic Lenovo
The X1 Carbon retains all the familiar ThinkPad styling. The red trackpoint sits in the middle of the keyboard, it's got its own paid of red and blue-accented buttons above the trackpad, and there's a row of buttons above the keyboard: power, volume, and microphone options. Overall, it's an Ultrabook that feels as high-class as it does able to cope with the demands of the working day.
The X1 Carbon is ultra-thin and weighs in at 1.36kg
Intel's Ultrabook requirements mean that laptops have to be lighter than ever, and Lenovo has got the weight down by using carbon fibre for much of the chassis. The result is an impressive weight of 1.36kg and a maximum thickness of 19mm. That's a fine comparison with the best ultraportables: the MacBook Air 13in is just two millimetres and 10g svelter and, in real-world use, that's not enough to make a difference.
Thankfully, the use of lightweight materials hasn't meant a drop in build quality: while there's a little give in the base and the screen, the wrist-rest is extremely strong. We've felt few Ultrabooks this strong, and it certainly gives Apple's MacBook Airs a run for their money.
Lenovo's last ThinkPad ultrabook, the X1, fell short in part due to its glossy screen – an ill-advised design decision that meant it was difficult to use underneath bright office lights.
This time around, there's a matte screen in place, and the resolution has also taken a jump, from 1,366 x 768. That makes for more desktop space that's easier to use, and it's matched by good quality. The maximum brightness of 343cd/m2 is good, the contrast ratio of 647:1 is similarly competent, and the average Delta E of 4 means colours are accurate, too.
It's not the best screen we've seen and won't handle high-end colour and graphical work – Dell's high-end Precision workstations are more accurate – but it's still a fine panel, and it's flexible too.
The screen comes with a rather bog standard resolution, but it is flexible

I love traveling and getting to know new places, people, and cultures. I like getting to know people everywhere. These days I travel with my husband.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A family whose Christmas presents were
stolen from under their tree got a special treat from local authorities.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office and the Fraternal Order of
Police gave Sandra Pereira's three kids a mini shopping spree at a
local Target.
The two groups donated money and gave each child a
$150 gift certificate.
The stolen gifts had been given to the
children during an event where underprivileged children get gifts.
Besides the gifts, Pereira's engagement ring and other items
were stolen. The home was also ransacked.

Sula Gender Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Year.Paragraph)
Quote #7
Ajax was very nice to his women. His women, of course, knew it, and it provoked them into murderous battles over him in the streets. (1939.58)
Are stereotypes about women being perpetuated here? The idea that these women belong to Ajax reflects a stereotypical gender dynamic in which women are the property of men. The fact that the women fight each other instead of Ajax seems pretty stereotypical, too.
Quote #8
You can't do it all. You a woman and a colored woman at that. You can't act like a man. You can't be walking around all independent-like, doing whatever you like, taking whatever you want, leaving what you don't. (1940.9)
This passage tells us some things about both men and women. We learn that Sula is doubly oppressed because she is a woman of color. And we also learn that Nel sees men as greedy, selfish, and careless. Jude's departure from her life has profoundly impacted her opinion of the opposite sex.
Quote #9
Then I really would act like what you call a man. Every man I ever knew left his children. (1940.44)
Stereotypes aren't limited to women. Sula articulates a common stereotype about men: that they can't or won't stick around to raise their kids. This is certainly the case for the men in this novel.
