Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
Here is the latest cool comic book moment in our year-long look at one cool comic book moment a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
Here are the last two days of our look at Batman: Year One.
You might notice the archive link above – you should check it out! A lot of cool comic book moments up there! I only mention it because when I asked for suggestions for scenes to feature on the last two days of Batman: Year One moments, I got a lot of suggestions for a scene I actually featured awhile back. So you should check out the archives (interestingly enough, I used the original issue to do that moment, while I've been using the trade for these moments – it's an interesting contrast in coloring).
On to Year One!
Okay, in Batman #405, by writer Frank Miller and artist David Mazzucchelli, Lt. Gordon is investigating who Batman might actually be, and he's checking District Attorney Harvey Dent – at the same time, Gordon is dealing with a simmering attraction between himself and Sgt. Sarah Essen, an attraction that does not come at a good time, seeing as how Gordon is married with a pregnant wife at home.
So Gordon and Essen are on the way back from seeing Dent…
While the full page splash is probably "the" moment, I've always been partial to the shot of Essen with her gun on Batman – I think that's really one of the most indelible images FROM Year One.
Once again, great stuff by Miller and Mazzucchelli.
Has anyone out there NOT read Year One by now?
I only read Year One for the first time last week…
I love that shot of Batman on the rooftop with his cape off, obviously being interrupted while doing some routine equipment maintenance or something… it's that kind of attention to detail that makes the art in this so fantastic.
Oh, and the last moment really ought to be Bruce saving the baby and Gordon telling him he can't see a thing without his glasses – one of my favourite moments in the story, in comics and in pretty much anything, ever.
My favorite panel of that sequence is when Batman takes a bullet in the leg. These days, his leg would be a thick pile of muscle and aside from gritted teeth it wouldn't affect him at all, but Mazzucchelli makes him look so beautifully awkward, like how I imagine actual human beings look when they get shot while running.
Not being a batfan… I haven't read it.
So yes, there ARE those of us who haven't.
Mazzuchelli illustrates violence so succinctly with the crushed cars and shopping carts in this story. No sound effects necessary, no big stars necessary. He's amazing.
Pure perfection!
@Aaron Thall: Well, make sure you pick up the trade, or borrow from your library (if they have it).
This one is worth the read.
Always liked the fact that Dent was working with Batman before even Gordon was.
I have to go with the shock on gordon's face when he sees the copters come in relizing that batman is a target no one will listen to reason.
Not being a batfan… I haven't read it.
You know, only Commies don't like Batman.
What can I say? I prefer a comic book universe that DOESN'T reboot itself every ten years. I want to read stories that won't get retconned.
If Gordon had succeeded at his daring and stupid plan, jerking the wheel aside like that, he probably would have brought the entire truck down on top of himself.
Really? Your going to make a shot about retconning? Can you name one comic book universe that has never had a shitty retcon?
Mr Cronin, sir…
Um… Am I just being stupid, or is this moment supposed to be 290B or 291?
Never read Year One. Not a big Miller fan, or Batman fan.
I'm not saying that other universes haven't rebooted… But how many times has DC done it?
Let's see… Rebooted to become silver age, rebooted at the crisis, rebooted for zero hour, rebooted after final crisis, and I'm sure there's a handful of others.
Marvel's reboots? One. And it was in a single title. And nobody noticed. Yeah, I'm looking at YOU, Peter David penned Captain Marvel…
Year One has never been retconned. It's still sitting right there on my shelf.
(Unlike that copy of Man of Steel, which just ceased to exist one day. Or I may have left it on the bus.)
I don't care if you're not a batfan, and the less people that like Miller the better… but come on. It's Mazzucchelli! The man is a master. Speaking of, if you haven't seen the MoCCA exhibit yet, you are missing something really special. Kuper's exhibit is amazing as well.
Oh, and THE moment for me will always be Batman diving in front of the runaway truck.
You're saying you won't read good stories because they don't "count"?
That's not really something to be proud of.
No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that's why I don't get the DC universe… It changes identities more than Hank Pym.
I don't like Batman as a furthering of that general distaste for DC. He's okay in small doses, but I'll never be a regular reader. (NOTE: HUGE fan of B:TAS and Batman Beyond. If they were to put out showcase volumes of the B:TAS comic books, I'd snap it up in a heartbeat. That is a very rare exception to my no DC rule)
Year one just doesn't appeal to me. I have no interest in reading the extended origin of a character I've never been a major proponent of. If other people enjoy it, more power to them. It's just not my kind of thing.
Batman doesn't really get retconned. Even his sillier stories from the 50's and 60's are still canon. He calls them the "Black Book Files" or something like that.
Robins get retconned, but not Batman.
And to the haters, Miller is awesome when some editorial control is at play. I've heard some rumors about things DC wouldn't let him do in B:TDKR that may be worthy of Legends Revealed entries. The problem with Miller's modern stuff is that the editors are so awed by his early work that they give him free reign, with garbage like "Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again" as a result.
All I'll say to you Aaron is if you truly believe Marvel has only had one lame retcon in the history of comics then you've must not of read many comics. I mean though I'm loathe to bring it up since it causes so many digressions but what about One More Day? Marvel is just as bad as the rest… hell just this week Fraction had a terrible retcon in X-men.
This is what I do … regardless of whether a character's origin is retconned, or the specific title is re-booted, I avoid the continuity.
For example, I might buy a "Batman" title for the artist's (or writer's) run of the title, and when that run has ended, I stop buying that title. (eg. Jim Lee & Jeph Loeb's Hush storyline on Batman, or maybe J.H. Williams' run on Detective Comics).
If a cross-over seems interesting, I might consider buying the "core" story and forget all the tie-ins depending on my budget (ie. Final Crisis # 1-7 only) or wait for the trade and borrow it from the library (if they get it).
The thing is with Iconic characters that last forever and a day is: they will get new writers and new artists every so often, with new ideas to boost the sales at any cost. You kind of see the same thing over and over.
It gets kind of boring after years of reading the same title.
I'm talking rebooting the universe wholescale. NOT one or two little things. Even the devil thing only changed a single day, which is far from a total universe reboot, considering Marvel has said flat out that everything still happened except the wedding itself.
And I don't read X-Men. Never have. Gave up on Spidey with the devil thing. He's dead to me.
Aaron. There have been tonnes of reboots across the Marvel U… just in-title and not across the whole universe. Which in my opinion is worse. The complications of "Brand New Day" (for a simple, recent example) did NOT just affect the marriage. It also affected the whole Civil War unmasking, his relationship with the Avengers, etc. Tony Stark's origin, The FF's origin, all have been shifted.
A DC reboot affects the entire universe, across all the titles (barring the occassional editorial cock-up!)
My opinion. You're welcome to yours, too.
Diving in fron tof the truck is it for me.
I am aslo not a big Batman fan… but I am a big COMICS fan, and Year One is damn good comics.
I don't get why you think being all high and mighty about rebooting somehow makes you above reading Year One. Since not having read one of the greatest and seminal comic works of all time because of it makes you seem completely arrogant, not to mention stupid.
I'm not a batfan *at all* but Batman : year one is one of the best comics ever.
Mazzucchelli really shines in those four issues, and Miller is at the top of his game. I really love the way Batman looks like what he is : a guy in a Batman costume, not an icon. It makes every jump, kick and punch look that more realistic and, to a certain extent, relatable.
Newsflash: If it isn't a creator owned, self contained story, it has been retconned to hell and back. Superhero universes are soap operas with heat vision, deal with it.
Zor-El of Argo, Miller never had free reign with Batman, not even DKSA. He surely has more freedom, but it's not total.
Aaron your bringing up retcons as a reason not to read Year One makes no sense. You already have a perfect excuse not to read it: you don't like Batman comics.
I've always loved the runaway truck sequence, just awesome sequential storytelling.
For some reason the top left panel of the homeless lady has always struck me as one of the best drawings in any comic I've ever seen.
just a reminder, Marvel has basically had a universal retcon, with the introduction of the Fantastic Four. If Aaron is claiming the "silver age" is a retcon, then it applies to Marvel also.
I'm a huge fan of basic continuity, I don't have problem with retconning stuff to make stronger stories or acknowledge that time is different in comic universe(Tony Stark is now injured in Desert Storm type of retconning is necessary evil) and I do prefer universes that have a relatively strong continuity. DC after Crisis has a strong continuity for the most part, and I can't think of too many stories that was affected by any retconning caused by Final Crisis or Zero hour—those weren't universal retcons for the most part.(adding dimensions isn't really a retcon in my book, it's just adding more dimensions for stories to interact with the main universe)
Anyway, back to the series itself. This may not be a 'cool' moment, but I like how Sarah thinks of Bruce as a suspect before Jim does. Smart lady. Er, ok, she did turn her back to Batman, but hey, you learn through experience, I guess…

AbstractHoneybee Robotics proposes to develop an ultrasonic actuator using high performance single crystal relaxor piezoelectric materials. These new materials, with strains exceeding 1% and electromechanical coupling exceeding 90%, allow for higher output torques and better efficiencies than possible with previous piezo materials. While traditional ultrasonic actuators are commonly used for micro-positioning applications, we seek to demonstrate that the improvement in the performance capabilities of ultrasonic actuators will enable their use in applications where greater torque, precision control, and demanding volume/weight constraints require novel actuators. The proposed innovation, based on a patent held by Honeybee Robotics, departs from conventional designs for ultrasonic actuators and changes the basic geometry by generating traveling waves on a stator surface. In this manner, a combination of the single crystal relaxor ceramics and amplification by the geometric design of the stator would achieved improved performance of the actuator. Our proposed solution provides a compact actuator with a high torque/volume ratio, fail-safe braking, no required lubrication, and no electromagnetic interference. It will have low mass and few mechanical parts in a simple geometric arrangement. The actuator proposed will also demonstrate benefits with respect to reliability, safety and cost-effectiveness.

I want to use my laptop as an external storage device with my PC. Is this possible? Is there a way to keep a backup of a file on my laptop hard drive and is there any software that can keep the backup on the laptop in sync with the PC?
First you need to share your laptop drive to the network:
Then you need to map it to the desktop PC:
Then use a tool to keep them in sync. SyncToy from MS is a decent enough solution:
edit I should note, that it is not totally necessary to map the laptop drive on the desktop, it just makes it a bit easier to access
If you want to use the hard drive directly, you want an enclosure.
If you're looking to do a backup, check out Crashplan. Free version will do it.
If you're looking to use it as "live" storage on a running other machine, you'll need to create a share and map a drive.

Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Tattooed sluts who love to fuck, suck and like it rough! Cum meet the dirty whores we like call scurvy.
This may well be Rob Rotten's most accessible production to date, and almost certainly is his most strokable. Every girl featured ranks among the sexiest of the tattooed porn chick set, and none of the action veers into the outlandishly over-the-top territory that has often marked Rotten's past work.
There is a somewhat gross but silly enough to be excused gag in a couple of the scenes involving characters "swimming" through internet cables to meet someone far away for a little in-the-flesh bonking, and emerging on the other end covered for some reason in spunk. Does it make a lick of sense? No. But neither does it register as any major detraction.
Box cover stunner Krysta Kaos will probably be the disc's biggest draw, and Rotten naturally reserves her all to himself for the torrid one-on-one finale. Many will likely be equally stoked, however, for up-and-cummer Sparky Sin Claire's first ever d.p., courtesy of Jay Ashley and Eric John.
Again, there's truly not a bad scene in the bunch, and this makes for a very promising portent of things to come from Metro's Loaded Digital line.

I really wanted to like it! I wanted to use it as a neutral base for matte looks, but it just doesn't work --> it creases after like 2 or 3 hours :-( and i have no idea why!! nothing like my other paintpot rubenesque, which works perfectly and lasts all day long...
really dissapointed by this one!
i've heard that some people also use it on their lips to get a nude look, think I'll try that next...

Microsoft talks up the companion web in IE marketing exercise
Says mobile birth rates are rising
CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES are remarkably adept at saying a lot that ultimately means nothing. One firm describes its products as "magical", and today we see a phone being dubbed "snazzy" by a mobile network.
Calling something magical or snazzy is one thing, but in its latest video Microsoft creates an odd image of someone or something giving birth to billions of mobile devices.
"The birthrate of mobile devices is five times the birthrate of humans", it says, causing us to wonder whether it has played the tablet and smartphone market so badly that it grows its hardware in test tubes.
"For every human that enters the world, five mobile devices are made. And that's just mobile."
Putting aside the fact that we knew this was about mobile, and it had mentioned mobile a couple of times already, we appreciate the clarification.
But what of the other devices in ours lives, Microsoft? How are they coming together to dominate people in what you are calling the Companion Web?
The companion web, we aren't capitalising the term again, is the internet that we carry with us, for example on our phones and tablets. Oh, and it's also Internet Explorer.
The companion web, says the video, opens up a doorway that we thought was already open, to things like games, books, sports, music and TV.
"This is more than second screen," says the somewhat strained video. "It's more than any number of companion devices. This is a revolution for the web, and it all starts with you."
Actually, it sounds like it started a few years ago, but we can't be sure. We're told what Bryan Saftler, senior product manager for Internet Explorer thinks. "We're going to keep spending time in front of our many screens, and the Companion Web emphasizes our ability to engage with the media we're consuming. This is just the beginning," he said in a blog post.
"The Companion Web represents an incredible evolution of the web to work with the way we use our devices. Stay tuned over the coming months for more exciting news about Companion Web experiences." µ

The Booth and Norris City-Omaha Schools are conducting Child Find/Preschool Screenings for three to five year old children not yet enrolled in public schools and who will not be kindergarten eligible in the fall. The screening is designed to check each child's progress in hearing, vision, speech, language, and coordination skills. This will give parents a better idea of how their child is progressing at this very young age before he or she begins school. This screening program is free and parents will receive immediate feedback on how their child is developing. Head Start personnel may also be present to explain their program and services.
In August, the Child Find/Preschool Screening will be held from 8:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Aug. 30 at the Methodist Center. The screening procedure takes about 45 minutes and appointments must be made so that children do not have a long wait period. Parents should call (618) 963-2818 to make an appointment or to get more information.

What are Colins Awards and/or congrats?!
- Login to post comments
Definitely and! Hahah. They're my college's end of year awards (little statue, oscar size, plastic but super shiny). We showed all our films at the local cinema in front of our classmates and their parents and stuff. Yes, I won 3 awards :P. Awkward going down for that third, especially since everyone only won 1 or none, so I kinda swept. Especially since it was in front of 120 odd people. Good day.

This is the story of Armaggedon; the conflict between anti-Christ (anti-Aslan) and the great masses of inhabitants of lost Narnia deceived by him and doomed for eternity versus the ultimate salvation of the few true followers of Aslan to eternal life in His Country, the True Narnia. The allegory to Scriptural truth is remarkable as illustrated by this most insightful, genius mind of modern-day Christian apologists.
The high point of the story occurs after the destruction of the old world and the lost souls who rejected Aslan, who are dispatched allegorically in Revelations 20, "lake of fire" fashion. The heroes of the story, including all the key players from the earlier Chronicles, are seen trying out their new "resurrection" bodies exploring the most beautiful place ever imagined, thrilled to have Aslan with them. They find after a while that the beautiful country is actually Narnia, the REAL Narnia. Though the Narnia they knew and loved was perceived most wonderful, it was a mere shadow of the perfect New Narnia, the one that would last forever, always with Him present and providing all the light in the never-ending Day.
For believers in Christ, Lewis has projected a clear picture mortal minds can comprehend of how it might be on that Day. It is shown through a children's story because that is how we must come to Him; like a child. "You must become just like a child to enter the Kingdom of God".Read more ›
After the events of "Prince Caspian," Lucy and Edmund are sent off to stay with their obnoxious cousin Eustace. But when they admire a picture of a strange ship, suddenly all three kids are sucked in -- and land in a Narnian sea. On board the ship is King Caspian, now fully grown, who is determined to find a bunch of knights exiled by his murderous uncle, even if he has to go to the edge of the world (literally).
Lucy and Edmund are thrilled to be back in Narnia again, but Eustance proceeds to make trouble any way he can, complaining and causing trouble among the crew. But there are problems more horrifying than any of them can guess, from dragons to sinister "gold water" to a region filled with their worst nightmares.
"The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is one of Lewis's most original and tightly-written Narnian adventures. It's also a bit of a break from form. After two books of battles against evil tyrants, "Voyage" simply goes where no man/woman/mouse has gone before, and gives us a view of the Narnian world as more than one isolated little region.
And in some ways, it's also the darkest Chronicle. Lewis explores the theme of greed here -- greed for power, beauty, money and magic -- and has some scenes both chilling and majestic. But his archly humorous style peeks through in several places, whether it's pompous mouse Reepicheep or tea with a reclusive old wizard.
Edmund and Lucy are their usual plucky selves, albeit a bit more mature than before.Read more ›

Hot answers tagged fondue
What's a good fondue alternative that would fit in a social gathering of fondue eaters for someone who dislikes all kinds of cheese? [closed]
Chocolate fondue is well known but not really an alternative, more like a dessert (if there is any appetite left!) There are other dishes which involve having the guests dip some solid food in a mostly liquid component themselves and immediately eat the result: Chinese hot pot (incidentally called "fondue chinoise" in French) Fondue bourguignonne (beef) ...
It's not a true Fondue but I've done something very similar by taking a white sauce base made with 50 / 50 wine and milk. You then melt in lots and lots of cheese and you get something very nice and similar to a fondue. You can pretty much use any reasonably melting cheese you like although a strong cheddar is very nice. For something really interesting add ...
Assuming this is a meat fondue (AKA fondue bourguignonne), using oil instead of cheese: There is no best or correct oil to use - each type of oil has its own characteristic flavour. However, a meat fondue generally involves heating the oil to 350-400° F (175-200° C), so you'll want to treat this more or less like deep-frying and use an oil with a ...
We made a Zesty Cheddar Fondue from The Melting Pot cookbook "Dip into Something Special". It is wonderful and a nice change of pace. 11 0z shredded Cheddar cheese 3 tbsp all-purpose flour 1 cup beer (light beer recommended) 4 tsp prepared horseradish 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 4 tsp dry mustard 2 tbsp chopped cooked bacon 2 tsp freshly ground pepper 1 ...
We usually end up sautéing the garlic for 15-30 seconds and then proceeding as normal. If you like the results, keep doing it. That's how we do it - I've never been able to taste even a hint of garlic in a fondue done the traditional way.
Normally, you start adding the cheese when the wine is simmering and stir regularly as you add it. If necessary, you can add a tablespoon of corn starch dissolved in some white wine to homogenize the mixture.
What's a good fondue alternative that would fit in a social gathering of fondue eaters for someone who dislikes all kinds of cheese? [closed]
There are many ways to fondue. I like Escoce's chocolate answer. Really, you just need any liquid in which people can dunk their food. Cheese is a popular choice because it goes well with so many foods, but you have a whole world of other options. I went to a fondue restaurant once and they had pots of oil, broth, wine, etc. available for guests to cook ...
The magic is from Sodium Citrate Most mass produced cheese it based on "cheddar blends". Basically large (50 Kg to 1 Mg) blocks of cheese are made in a milk factory. When a consumer product is to be made from it, the cheddar is shredded, flavour and/or culture is added, and then using heat and pressure it is re-packed into consumer sized packages In some ...
The advertised reason is that the alcohol will cut some of the protein chains resulting in a fondue that is dippable and not so stringy. Obviously the alcoholic beverage of choice will also add a lot of cheese-compatible flavor as well. Fondue recipes that don't include alcohol universally call for acid to achieve a similar effect.
Any white with a sufficiently high acid content. The canonical fondue wine is Fendant, which is made in the valais region out of chasselas grapes, so any chasselas (see Wikipedia for a long list of alternative names) will work well. One notable alternative is a dry champagne. This will make your fondue very light and fluffy, due to the carbonation.
Vacherin, Comté or Emmental, I wouldn't go for Gouda, it's not cheese from the fondue regions. But it's maybe worth an experiment ;) Don't forget you can mix cheeses, 1/2 Gruyere and 1/2 Emmental for example,
I would use this broth to make soups. It would make a great base for a number of soups such as scotch broth, but also for using for the stock for making other soups such as lentil or whatever you fancy. Good luck!
In New Zealand we made fondue moitié-moitié with mild white Cheddar and Gouda. Very creamy. I think you can make fondue with almost any meltable pure and good cheese, if the original ingredients are unobtainable. More important is the dry wine, a little starch, garlic and pepper. A shot of a good hard liquor also adds flavor. Kirsch (cherry schnapps) is best,...
The short answer is: you cannot get the butter out. The milk solids from the butter will be throughout the mixture, and the sheen on top may not be just milk fat from butter, but some cocoa butter as well. Even if you do try to skim the butter off the top, the remaining chocolate will never have the same quality as it did before. Some options: Reheat ...
What's a good fondue alternative that would fit in a social gathering of fondue eaters for someone who dislikes all kinds of cheese? [closed]
Unlike the other answers, I'd completely skip the part where it has to work like fondue. It's more important that it matches the food you already have. You already have bread and white wine. Have some slices of bread ready, add some grapes and nuts, something to put on the bread (thinly sliced smoked bacon?) and self serve salads which some of the other ...
What's a good fondue alternative that would fit in a social gathering of fondue eaters for someone who dislikes all kinds of cheese? [closed]
IMO, Unless you have extra fondue "setup", it will be hard to accommodate your friend. You could do a Chinese "hot pot" (hot broth) with thinly sliced meat (beef, chicken...) You could do a fondue "Bourguignone" (with oil) with cubed meat (mostly beef).
Two more tips for good fondue's I've made without gruyere: Spicy fondue with ginger Blue cheese fondue (generally made a but softer with mascarpone) & white wine. Excellent for dipping dark brown bread and grapes.
Try fontina and truffles for an Italian Alpine fondue.
You could try making Vietnamese Pho, a meal which is basically Noodles, Spring Onion and Meat of some sort (perhaps what you have left over from the Fondue) and Stock.
Your family will notice if you try to "Pull it back to edible" (that sounds disgusting). Maybe use something a little more acidic next time, like a dry wine, or just a touch of lemon (not much!) if you insist on using beer. It does sound like the heat was a little too high though if you're getting the infamous ball-o-cheese fondue, so turn the fire down, ...
I suspect that your cheese curdled. This happens to me if I overheat the mixture- especially in the presence of acid. (I don't have any experience with using beer.) The cornstarch is there as a safety net to prevent this but obviously it is not infallible. Turn down the heat and try adding a little more corn starch- it may not get back to perfect fondue ...
White wine has a pH of 3 to 4 and is acidic enough to curdle milk and the milk proteins in cheese. The key to success is to choose a wine that is not too "dry", heat it first to drive off the volatile acids and then gradually add the grated cheeses while stirring constantly. If the cheese curdles you're done. I've never been able to reverse it. Start over.
Cheese sauces will curdle more easily if they are not acid enough. I struggled with homemade mac-n-cheese until someone pointed this out to me. The wine that Zippy suggests is one solution to adding acid without undesirable taste.
What's a good fondue alternative that would fit in a social gathering of fondue eaters for someone who dislikes all kinds of cheese? [closed]
Chocolate fondue would be great to offer AND many of your other guests may end up on the chocolate fountain instead of the cheese.
In my experience, the lowest setting of my induction cooker - 120 watts - is too high and results in scorched chocolate and will also burn dairy products like a cheese sauce. I wouldn't use it for a fondue - I would use a candle. It's possible this restaurant had specialty induction cookers that could reach lower temperatures. My single-burner el cheapo ...
For a fondue bourguignonne (oil) or Chinoise (broth), raw ingredients are cooked in the pot, which means you need to get the liquid at least close to a boil, i.e. in the 90-100 C range. The burner under your model should easily supply enough heat. For chocolate fondue, this would mean the chocolate would burn almost instantly. If you serve a chocolate ...
You can either maintain the heat level through a heat source served with the food at the table or you can add a neutral-tasting oil to the chocolate mixture such as canola(rape seed) or vegetable oil. Adding another fat will also help in preventing scorching of the chocolate. Also the addition of some dairy to create a chocolate "sauce" can be a solution ...
While I am not certain if any of these ingredients were in the brand of cheese you bought, I figured you may be interested to hear that according to Heston Blumenthal there is two ingredients, in addition to cheese, you need to make a good fondue. One is acid, which will keep the protein from "clumping together", in the recipe I saw he used a bit of white ...

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe sent a ritual offering to the war-linked Yasukuni Shrine on Thursday, the anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II, but is likely to refrain from visiting in an effort to mend ties with China and South Korea.
Abe sent an aide to offer a sacred tree branch to the Shinto shrine in Tokyo, which is dedicated to 2.5 million mostly Japanese soldiers killed in past wars including convicted Class-A war criminals from World War II. The premier conveyed a message to the shrine saying he felt sorry for "being unable to visit today," the aide, Koichi Hagiuda, told reporters.
Abe made the offering as president of the Liberal Democratic Party rather than as prime minister, added Hagiuda, who is an LDP lawmaker.
Two of Abe's Cabinet ministers visited Yasukuni, meanwhile, in a move likely to trigger criticism from Japan's neighbors that suffered its wartime brutality. They are Internal Affairs and Communications Minister Yoshitaka Shindo, and Keiji Furuya, state minister in charge of North Korea's past abductions of Japanese citizens.
To mark the 68th anniversary of Japan's surrender, Abe is scheduled to visit the Chidorigafuchi National Cemetery in Tokyo, where he will lay flowers for the unknown Japanese who died overseas during the war.
Yasukuni is seen by China and South Korea as a symbol of Japan's past militarism and previous visits to the shrine by Japanese political leaders have strained relations.
Abe will not visit the shrine on the anniversary, sources close to him have said, out of concern that it would further deteriorate ties with the regional partners, already strained by territorial rows as well as disagreements over perceptions of history.
Making the ritual offering to the shrine instead of visiting in person is apparently aimed at showing some restraint and intention to recover the ties with the neighbors. At the same time, it could help Abe make a gesture to his conservative supporters in Japan.
A perceived shift to the right by Tokyo under the leadership of Abe, who is pushing to revise the pacifist Constitution to enhance the country's defense capabilities, has unnerved its neighbors.
The deterioration in relations with China and South Korea has even prompted the United States, Japan's key ally, to express its desire for Abe to de-escalate the regional tension, according to Japanese government officials.

WTO Watch: Just What We Need, Cheaper Sugar
Will the U.S. and E.U. comply? These rulings really will test whether the WTO can overcome the opposition of very powerful domestic special interests.
A weblog dedicated to reports, commentary, and debate on current developments and scholarship in the fields of international law and politics.
The US sugar program was NOT the subject of a WTO dispute settlement proceeding. Only the EC sugar regime was challenged by Brazil, Australia and Thailand.
You may be confusing Brazil's successful challenge to US subsidies on cotton with sugar.
The likely effect of full implementation of the WTO ruling by the EC will NOT be to make sugar cheaper, but more expensive -- by taking considerably quantities of EC sugar off the market. This will mean higher commodity prices for other sugar producers that sell on the world market, mostly developing countries.
"The WTO Appellate Body confirmed a lower panel ruling that the EU's system of subsidies for sugar producers violates WTO rules." Actually, the Appellate Body confimed that the amount of subsidies given by the EU to its sugar producers violated WTO rules, which had set a particular ceiling in the late-1990s. WTO rules, in fact, do allow subsidies, but under strict conditions.

My requirement is to save data in 5 tables through 5 methods . These 5 methods are wrapped under single parent method which is annotated with @Transactional.
Am calling this parent method 100 times in a loop.
Constraints are
Transaction has to be rolled back even if one method fails in one iteration.(i.e 5 methods has to be saved without exception) and the flow should continue for next iteration.
One iteration fail should not rollback all the other iterations. I.,e In 100 iterations if 5th iteration fails and all the other iterations are succeeded, then all the 99 iteration's operations should get committed.
It is OK if transaction is committed after successfully executing all the 5 methods in one iteration.
Issue is
- If, 5th iteration is failed, then in next iteration, old values are showing in the entity.
I have used session.clear() method in catch block to avoid that. is that correct? But the issue is,
even after successful insertion of five methods in next iteration, the transaction is getting rolled-back. And all the previous 4 iteration's data state in session is getting cleared.
am using Spring 3.2, Hibernate3, HibernateTransactionManager

By Richard Doherty
Daimler's recent decision to give employees the option to have all email received while on holiday automatically deleted (see story here) has generated lots of healthy discussion and debate with many for and against such a policy.
Personally, I think the key take away from this initiative is the fact that it is an option. How each of us achieves work/life balance is a very personal thing ? we're all different and manage that balance in different ways. So I'm sure many of Daimler's employees will take up the option to have their holiday emails deleted and many will not ? as long as personal objectives are achieved, contributing to corporate objectives and everyone stays healthy and motivated, everyone wins. Auto deletion of holiday emails may not suit your organisation, but I'm sure there are some ?options? you could offer employees that would help business performance that you have not perhaps considered before.
The need for a personalised employee experience, given the increasing diversity of the workforce and new ways of working, means that those adopting the one size fits all approach to attracting, developing and retaining employees are going to struggle.
By 2020 we'll have 5 different generations working side by side in the workforce and 50% will be millennials ? with different expectations and aspirations ? for instance 60% of millennials will leave their companies in less than 3 years.
The way we work is also changing ? we're beginning to use mobile devices to access enterprise applications, 67% (CEB) of us report an increase in collaboration at work and 76% (CEB) of us report an increase in working with data to get our jobs done.
As with the Daimler email initiative, employers need to give their employees options to build the employee experience that suits them best and will give them the best chance to be successful. Modern HCM solutions, like the Oracle HCM Cloud, will play a major part in providing that personalised and positive employee experience by:
It's all about options. For instance, social collaboration may not be everyone's cup of tea and that should be fine ? the worst thing you can do is to try to force people to use collaboration tools. They need to see the benefit and naturally adopt such an approach.
If we take the Employee Experience Journey Mapping approach to HR i.e. we focus on the employee experience as opposed to HR processes, we need to consider the options that need to be available to the employee during their employment journey to provide that positive employee experience that drives the outcomes our businesses desire. With such a diverse workforce, we need to do our best to understand their needs and provide as many options as possible to meet those needs. So make sure your HCM Cloud offers flexibility, functional breadth and an ongoing commitment to investment and innovation in keeping pace with a rapidly changing workforce and ways of working.

TaraElla is a singer-songwriter. She has been writing and performing music since 2003. Previously, she mainly worked on music without lyrics, but is currently focusing on making music with vocals, which began with the release of the first single Beauty in 2010. She is, however, most notable for her cultural projects.
Review by:
A. G. Bierce
on Feb. 14, 2014 :
Difficult to review since I am a mid millennial of the prior millennium who takes great umbrage at the way those of my generation are categorized by the author. My bucket list is far longer as I enter my 8th decade of life than it was when I was a 20 or 30 something. Also my health is as good if not better than most current 20 or 30 somethings that I have had the pleasure of interacting with.
With that said, I applaud the author for her willingness to so eloquently and concisely present her ideas as to what those who are the focus of her writings should aspire to. It is well written, not filled with fluff and contains an absolute minimum of grammatical and spelling errors. Based on that I will gladly give her 3 stars. I wonder what she will write when she finds herself entering her sixth decade of life with still unfulfilled expectations.

Fibromyalgia Health Center
Fibromyalgia and Depression
In this article
Do People With Fibromyalgia Know They're Depressed?
Some people with fibromyalgia and chronic pain may be aware they are depressed. Others may not be sure they are depressed. Nevertheless, they know something is wrong.
The signs of depression with chronic pain may include:
- decreased energy
- difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- feelings of hopelessness, guilt, or irritability
- loss of interest in nearly all activities
- persistent sad or anxious mood
- uncontrollable tearfulness
In severe cases, depression with chronic pain can lead to thoughts of death or suicide.
Does Stress Increase Depression With Fibromyalgia?
The stress of living with chronic pain and relentless fatigue can put a person into "overload." That can result in overwhelming feelings of nervousness and anxiety. What isn't clear is whether a stressful life brings about the fibromyalgia or if having fibromyalgia leads to stress.
No matter which comes first, stress adds to problems of anger, distractibility, and irritability. Most patients feel worsening of pain and fatigue when they have more stress. Sometimes, severe stress occurs just before the disease starts.
Is Depression Common With Chronic Pain Conditions?
Feelings of depression are common with all types of chronic pain, including headache, back and neck pain, hip pain, shoulder pain, and the pain of fibromyalgia. For example, the prevalence of major depression in people with chronic low back pain is three to four times greater than in the general population.
By the same token, having a depressive disorder also increases the risk of developing chronic pain. Patients who are depressed have greater pain. They describe greater hindrance from pain and display more pain behaviors than pain patients who are not depressed.
People with chronic pain such as fibromyalgia often become depressed and isolated. As a result, they spend more time away from other people, even people they love, such as family and friends. Instead of focusing on their personal lives or the lives of their loved ones, they become increasingly focused on their pain and suffering, which is very real. Adding to the frustration are the repeated appointments with health care providers to try to find relief and the resulting costs.

2008 The Zero Shame Game
posted by September 30 at 15:27 PMon
The original comments came at an Ohio rally Monday, when Palin told the cheering crowd, "I'm looking forward to meeting [Biden] too, I've never met him before but I've been hearing about his senate speeches since I was in, like the second grade."
Some political observers found that comment peculiar, given her own running mate is the oldest man ever to seek a first presidential term. But Palin said she was merely contrasting the differences she sees between herself and Biden.
She can only see Palin. This man McCain does not exist for her.

What the One Music Festival I'm Not Interested in Attending
While I'm inexplicably charmed by the band name "Oops I Stepped in Some Christ", I don't think the time to check them out will be at "Methfest 2006", where they will be appearing with, um, Fetal Distress, Arachnid Arcade, and Boostatali.
I'm guessing that "Methfest" was chosen for either its shock value or as a reference to the bands' preferred tempos and song duration (ostensibly fast and unending), but it still seems like a poor marketing choice. Nevertheless, perhaps they could get some good ideas for flyers from this Just Say No-style banner I recently spotted outside a rural Montana high school:
Methfest transpires at the Rendezvous on Friday, August 18. Attend at your peril.

I was really looking forward to using this plugin, as the main aim of my latest project is a social blog, but as soon as I activated it, ALL the plugins from my Plugins page disappeared! Basically, they're invisible. It happened once before (an incident which inspired me to set up a test blog), and turned out to be a conflict with another plugin, but couldn't narrow down which one due to a lack of online time.
Rather than deleting and avoiding this plugin altogether, do you know of any plugins it's incompatible with (and especially any that may have caused this issue before)?
Cheers :-)

Assassination of Mr. VivianAssassination of Mr. Vivian by RikuZegram
Chapter One
High above Kosler, in the top floor of the city's tallest skyscraper, one of the most important meetings in the city's recent history was taking place. It was not intended to be of that much significance; it simply happened that way. The meeting was only intended to be the biannual company status report of the Intellitech computer hardware chair people. What resulted was, in short, a tragedy.
Seventeen men and women were seated at the expansive metal table. They were all dressed in their absolute best; no one wanted to disappoint the president of the company, Mr. David C. Vivian. He was at the end of the table in the stereotypical "boss man" chair. The impressive piece of furniture was larger than Mr. Vivian, and the leather was deep red. Mr. Vivian's breathing was harsh and raspy, but it was to be expected from a man of his age. He was nearing 87 years old, but the doctors assured him that he was healthier than was expected for a man his age.
"A man my age?" he had once ex

I love your plugin, and have been able to do exactly what I've needed with it so far. Just one question regarding margins before the boxes on pages: Because I have other plugins and custom type within the boxes, the shortcode on my pages is wrapped in a
tag. I believe this is causing extra lines of space or margin to appear before the boxes. Is this something that can be fixed in the plugin stylesheet? Thanks!

If the Pentagon Defense Acquisition Board approves Amarillo's Bell Helicopter Textron as the site of a rebuilding program for Marine Corps helicopters, an additional assembly plant and hangar complex south of the current facility at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport would be constructed.
It also means the company will hire people to rework the UH-1Y Yankee utility helicopters and AH-1Z Cobra attack helicopters for the Corps.
Bell has not said how many people it will bring on board to do the work if the Pentagon gives the go-ahead Oct. 1.
In 1968, Bell leased Hangars 4000 and 5000, Headquarters Building 5105, Training Building 2206 and Steam Cleaning building 2105 at the now-closed Amarillo Air Force Base.
Western Builders constructed the hangar and assembly building, said President Jerry Rohane.
He said his company will try to get more work from Bell.
"They are great people to work for," Rohane said, "We want to be a part of it any way we can."
Tonya Felder, office manager for Panhandle of Texas Chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America, said Amarillo can provide general and subcontractors for the expansion.
"I think it's really good for Amarillo and we've got plenty of local general contractors that are more than qualified to build the facility. I don't really think we need to go outside the Amarillo area to find somebody, there are ample general contractors to qualify," Felder said.
Amarillo can handle any development needed for Bell's new employees, said Matt Griffith, vice president of Rockrose Development.
Land is available, the water distribution system can handle it and city officials are easy to work with, he said.
Judy Elliott, sales manager with Coldwell Banker First Equity, Realtors, said the real estate market is strong in Amarillo with available homes and good mortgage rates.
"There shouldn't be a problem finding them homes," Elliott said.
Bell hires quality people for good jobs, said Lew Bradshaw of the Texas Panhandle Builders Association.
"It's a great boom for our whole city," he said.
Gary Molberg of the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce is excited about the expansion plans.
"Bell Helicopter already is a large employer and with the additional production they will have an even larger positive impact on our economy," he said.

NLGD Festival of Games dated for June in Utrecht
Dutch show the NLGD Festival of Games is to be held on June 14-22 in Utrecht, the organisers confirmed today.
Omnipresent former Edge editor Margaret Robertson will open and close the show, which is to feature keynotes from PONG creator Ralph Baer and Spore designer Chaim Gingold, who is to talk on creating games involving user-generated content elements.
"I'm excited to visit Utrecht, one of my favourite places in the world, and talk with like minded folks about games, one of my favourite subjects," said Gingold. "My keynote, Magic Crayons: Spore & Beyond, will be an even better version of my GDC talk from last year."
