Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
So DC's Wednesday Comics had its debut recently. It's new and different, so it's very interesting to see what people have to say about it.
Glenn Walker thought it was amazing:
Kyle Baker's Hawkman is stunning. Neil Gaiman and Mike Allred have recreated the Silver Age Metamorpho perfectly. The Flash is the peak of sequential storytelling. Great to see a jet age Green Lantern, it's the era he was created for. Father and son Kuberts do Sgt. Rock, just as husband and wife Palmiotti and Conner give us a delightful take on Supergirl, Krypto and Streaky. Dave Gibbons and Ryan Sook pay homage to Hal Foster's Prince Valiant with Jack Kirby's Kamandi just as Paul Pope does the same for Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon with his Adam Strange. It's just beautiful.
And for those of you for whom that last paragraph means nothing, don't worry. The best thing about Wednesday Comics is that it's non-continuity. In English, that means it's mainstream – it's accessible to any readers new or old. If you've been reading these things forever or if you wouldn't know a Teen Titan from Tony the Tiger, you'll still enjoy this.
Kelvingreen didn't think it worked:
First off, despite the "normal" appearance, this is still being sold through Diamond's distribution monopoly, and, as far as I can tell, is only being sold through comic shops. As a result, the intended audience becomes a little murky. The format seems to be aimed at people who once read comics, but haven't in a while, or who don't read superhero comics, but do read the humour strips in the Sunday papers, but then, once again, it's only being sold through the specialist shops those people will never, ever, visit. All the new formats in the world will do no good if you're stuck with such an exclusive distribution method, and it may even be counter-productive to try anything new because the audience served by that method may by now be trained so that they don't want anything different.
Distribution is one thing, crucial to the success of the project, but the contents are just as important, and are just as bungled. The storytelling is abysmal, okay on its own grounds but completely wrong for a one-page-a-week format, with acres of wasted space, a distinct lack of actual things happening, and a disturbing tendency toward limp "cliffhangers". DC have assembled a group of writers and artists here who often excel in the usual twenty-two pages of a monthly US comic, but seem to have no idea whatsoever how to pace a single page of storytelling; they seem to be writing with an eye to a full story, but have neglected how the single page reads. A lot of these creators are really good, and should be able to figure out how to tell a one-page story, but none of them have managed it (although Paul Pope comes very close); Neil Gaiman and Dave Gibbons should have an idea, at least, from their experience in the UK weeklies, but even they stumble, as if they, like the audience, have been conditioned to not understand how single page storytelling works. There are about fourteen billion webcomic creators out there, all of whom could do a better job than this A-list collection of writers and artists has managed.
While The Crosspatch explains why he passed on the issue:
1. It's only 16 pages.
2. It's $3.99/week.
3. It's odd-sized.
4. It's $3.99/week.
5. It's a collection of 16 stories, and you know some of them are going to be crap.
6. It's $3.99/week.
Yeah, no thanks, DC. Tell you what, collect the stories that are actually worth a damn into a TPB or (this might sound crazy) a regular freaking comic book, and I might pick some of them up. In the current format — no way in hell.
so what do you think?
I think that as cool and interesting of an experiment as it is, there is absolutely no way I can justify paying four bucks an issue for something that probably won't survive my comics bin for the next month.
Sorry, but no. I'll definitely get the trade though.
Personally, I love the format. I agree that the price point is high and the distribution method is lousy, but don't agree that the distribution method should take away from reviewing the actual product. I do agree that Wednesday Comics needs to be in as many retail outlets as possible, not just comic shops. Will love to see "Absolute Wednesday Comics." Too bad it just can't be serialized like the Supes installment in USA Today.
It's $4 a week.
"so what do you think?"
That the Crosspatch is an uber d-bag, Whining about the format kinda MISSES THE DAMNED POINT. He sounds like a child stomping on the ground and throwing a tantrum "I want my 32 page pamphlet with 10 pages of ads!" *stomp* "Don't you try to sell me anything but that, Mr. Man!" *stomp* Another blogger I wish I'd never heard of.
That Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez can turn any dullard's script into gold with his artwork. I mean, he's paired with that lunkhead DiDio on a Metal Men story and it's one of the most beautiful things in the book. I really hope Garcia-Lopez gets one more crack at the big time, a nice Superman graphic novel or something, written by someone worthy of his prodigious talent.
Really, I love Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez's artwork.
That setting aside the physical format, I think maybe this would've been better served with 2 page installments, maybe 2 sets of 6 issues, each story getting 2 pages per issue, each page left me wishing there was more.
The Supergirl story page was fun.
Personally I love this project! I have been hearing the expected complaints about the price and then there's the complaints about the format, the newspaper it's printed on, that you can't get a mint copy ever because it's folded, there's no variant cover version, etc, etc, etc. I am not going to say anyone's problems with the book are unwarranted as we each have our own view of what we want out of a project for our dollar and our tastes, but I feel it's a worthwhile project that's well worth the price based on the assemblage of talent, effort, and presentation. Please consider that the pages are double the standard page size and the only ad to be found is on the back! I feel I got as much if not more in some ways out of this issue than I do the standard monthly. The first issue has some stumbling points in how the creators approached single-page storytelling or in just bogging down their story's start with introductory material, but overall I was left anxiously wanting more. I think it's a unique way to look at comics and storytelling with the big lush full page visuals and the hyper-serialised approach of just one page per character per week, and I think it's a welcome breath of fresh air on the racks. It's fun to look at and fun to read! In fact, the "fun" part of it is something that I choose to fondly embrace because in my opinion there's not enough of it when it comes to comics anymore.
Why do we get blogs that no one's heard about?
I can see people not wanting to read Wednesday Comics. I can see people not liking Wednesday Comics. But arguing that it's somehow a worse value than other mainstream comics is just dumb.
Here in Australia, that $3.99 gets translated to $8.00!!
That said- I love the format and idea as a curiosity and will get all twelve.
The cover price is unfortunate and will certainly be acceptable only to completest collectors.
I still haven't been able to collect and articulate my thoughts, but I have decided this:
Most modern comic book fans don't deserve the pleasure that is Wednesday Comics.
I am the most vehement $4 comic hater on the planet, and I bought this, and will buy every upcoming issue and then the giant collected edition that might come out.
16 pages? Motherfucker, I spent $4 on the first issue of Astonishing X-Men Ghost Boxes, and it was 16 pages with ads.
Not even to mention that I got way more out of each page of the first installment than I do most regular sized $3 22-page books.
Also, some interesting math copied over from J. Caleb Mozzocco of Everyday Is Like Wednesday/Blog@
"Okay, so, because I am insane, I decided to time myself while reading each of my comic books today, and here's how it broke down:
Wednesday Comics…20 minutes
Green Lantern…11 minutes
Booster Gold…14 minutes
Marvel Adventures Super Heroes…7 minutes
Obviously, I spent more time reading it than any of the books with bigger page counts.
Additionally, I broke out the calculator to determine the average number of panels per page in each of these books:
Wednesday Comics…12.6
Green Lantern…5.3
Booster Gold…4.5
Marvel Adventures Super Heroes…5″
So fuck everybody.
I didn't get it because of the format. Not because a good story can't be told in that format, but because where will I put it so it's easily accessible for rereads? Because, what would happen if I got all 12 individual copies is they'd end up on the bottom of a clutter on my desk, they'd get dirty and torn and forgotten about until my tri-yearly cleaning of my desk and then they'd be in too poor of condition to justify the price tag. I wish I waited for the hardcover collection of Mouse Guard because of its format, like I'm doing with Wednesday Comics. That way they'd sit on my bookshelf and I could easily pick it off of my shelf any time I wanted to read it.
saying it's only 16 pages is disingenious to be honest, technically speaking it is only 16 pages but the pages are a lot larger making it in surface area at least on par with a 32 page book.
I was looking forward to this and enjoyed it, in comparison to say Blackest Night or everyones fascination with Batman and Robin, it reminds me that everyone has different opinions.
"16 pages? Motherfucker, I spent $4 on the first issue of Astonishing X-Men Ghost Boxes, and it was 16 pages with ads."
So the fact that you made a poor purchasing decision is somehow supposed to ADD to your credibility?
Chill out, dude.
All this just goes to (painfully) show how conservative and hung up on format so much of the comic buying consumer base remains. But really – their loss. It's just such a beautiful ARTIFACT. But beauty is something that passes by a lot of people.
"So the fact that you made a poor purchasing decision is somehow supposed to ADD to your credibility?
Chill out, dude."
I'm just saying, there are much worse ways to spend $4 out there.
No, I get that, and I agree. It's just that an extra four bucks a week adds up, plus I've actually gotta start CUTTING stuff from my pull list since I'm going to be going to college soon.
Oh yeah, I'm about to have to go back to school as well so I can see that.
I look at it this way: $4 a week isn't that much when it comes down to it. Assuming I buy books every week, there's probably at least one that sucked and that I don't need at all. I'm dropping Deadpool after this next one because, well… Who needs Deadpool anyway? Easy. I dropped Son of Hulk because I don't care about this other new Hulk baby. I dropped my girlfriend because she's a bitch.
The point being that $4 for something huge and awesome and exciting and full of Joe Kubert drawing nazis and Paul Pope being Paul Pope is a steal and I'm happy to support this over and over again.
Hey jo u got it wrong:
"Please consider that the pages are double the standard page size and the only ad to be found is on the back!"
each page is actully FOUR times the size of a regular comic, so for those winning, it's the same as 4×15 regular pages wich means 60 pages, ….
Chaka- Sorry, buddy, though you may be getting '60 pages' of POSSIBLE comic artwork, you're not getting four pages of STORY for each comic in there. It's just not being utilized like that by most of the contributors. Ben Caldwell, being a notable exception that comes to mind. I love the work of the contributors, but for $3.99 it's a bit over priced for newsprint. Also, since they are pretty much only trying to market this to the direct market they went ahead and gave the damn thing one to many folds, ruining the overall product, so they could fit the product on a comic shelf.
I'll be waiting for the eventual collection for the rest of this project, which I really do want to see when all is said and done.
Though I haven't yet made the trip to my store this week, I am planning to buy the whole run of Wednesday Comics, as there is some talent in there that I really couldn't ignore. I do wonder, though, if DC are shooting themselves in the foot with the distribution method, though, as some have pointed out. While WC may be worth $4/issue, and while people may gladly spend that for the interesting format and Neil Gaiman/Mike Allred/Kyle Baker/Paul Pope stories, it's still $4/week and many of us will have to look hard at what we're *not* going to buy in order to enjoy this series. If, for example, the extra $16/month edges one over the tipping point to where he is dropping a book like Booster Gold or Green Arrow–or any lower-tier ongoing series–that's not a good thing for DC. Because, in twelve weeks, WC is over, and that reader is probably not coming back to that series he or she dropped.
DC could have better met their goals with this series by working out a deal with USA Today (or another national paper) to give Wednesday Comics away with every newspaper. I don't know if this was ever on the table–it would cost them quite a bit and they wouldn't make their share of $3.99/issue, but it would reach a larger audience and avoid cannibalizing their reader base.
Yeah, the Distribution method was HUGE Mistake. They have to get into convenience stores, College Kiosks and Drug Stores (And people with Newspaper Subscriptions).
However, I would have altered the format so that you have 5 stories going on with 3 pages each per issue and once they're done move on to the next 5 new stories.
One page is too little story per issue. Not everyone has A.D.D.
This isn't even like the Aeon Flux Cartoon shorts. At least Aeon Flux's creators worked well with the short format. With Wednesday Comics, it's like getting the first page of a single comic.
Having said that, I really do like Wednesday Comics. I really want more experimentation like this. Therefore, I'm buying every issue to support it.
"But arguing that it's somehow a worse value than other mainstream comics is just dumb."
Only 16 pages?
Those 16 pages of art and story are worth the price compared to the regular issues from DC (and Marvel) that are weighed down by over-convoluted continuity and over-rendered art with near black computer colored pages.
I loved it; I loved the art and the colors and I think it's so great– and if it were monthly, I'd buy every issue.
Sorry, but I live in a third world country and that price is just ridiculous for a weekly.
I worked at a deli once and the customers who would come in and complain about the thickness of the slices & how much it was per pound were the ones I wanted to set on fire.
and that was food… you know, sustenance?
I think the format is fantastic. The second blog posted sounds so ridiculously idiotic that I can barely wrap my head around it; the format is the whole point. So the comic doesn't fit into his polybag? It might not hold up to years of trying to keep it in mint condition? So what! It's obvious that, for the first time in a long time, one of these companies is making something that is first and foremost meant TO BE READ and enjoyed by the GENERAL PUBLIC, not a bunch of inbred (in terms of material consumption, not genetics) 40 year-olds who never had a girlfriend in high school. So long as the big two continue to pander to this ever-dwindling but overly vocal minority, they'll continue to put out suckier and suckier material. This is a HUGE step in the right direction in terms of making superhero comics publicly accessible again. I hope they listen to sales (the store closest to me sold out in half a day; I hope other stores did as well) and not to their "constituency." Seriously, good for DC.
One of the best thing about this newsprint format is that there's little hope of keeping it nice. Hopefully, that'll encourage people to read it 'til it's a pile of rag paper. It's got spectacle; kids will want to read this one in a way that they'd likely have no desire to read whatever # whatever. It's big. It's pretty. It's flashy.
There are some downsides; the Teen Titans thing is unreadable and the coloring on the Superman story makes everything (skin, fabric, robots) look like it's made of melting wax, and considering newsprint costs the price is WAY too high ($1.99 and I'd pick up every issue), but yeah, the four bucks thing is a bit much. But there's some beautiful art in there, and if I were a kid this would make me a comics reader, no question.
I shouldn't have said the girlfriend thing; that was smarmy and unnecessary. Sorry.
Other Chris: Except that it's not because they're still selling it only at comic shops and not anywhere where a normie wouldn't have to go out of their way to buy it.
It's a wonderful idea in theory and the stories are probably going to be excellent once read altogether… which is why I'm going to be getting it in trade.
I can't wait for the trade to come out, and see all the trade-waiters complain that they've ruined it by shrinking the pages down to fit a more reasonably sized book. Or that they've ruined it by rejiggering the pages so you get one full story after the other, rather than it breaking the stories up like in the original weekly.
My tuppence worth – it's a bold move by DC, and one I'd love to support. I don't think I'll be able to get to a comics shop often enough, which makes me sad.
Oh, and a final note – people not buying it because they don't think they'll be able to keep it clean and neat are mental. Not just because if you really want to look after it, you'll surely find a way. But also because last time I checked, comics were invented as disposable entertainment not intended to be kept clean and neat.
Comics were also invented to be a cheap form of entertainment, Nick, so don't be a dick just because people aren't reading the story the way YOU want people to read it.
Christ, what kind of reaction is that? "I'll wait for the trade". "FUCK YOU, COMICS HATER!!!!"
Get a grip.
I'm not sure I understand the argument that this will be hard to store. The series is being sold folded down to regular comics size, and at that size it fits just fine into a comics box. You might need a Golden Age bag for it, I admit. But just storing it should be a snap.
I liked it a lot, by the way. The tone and general quality varies from page to page, but the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. I thought it was a great pop-art object, and as that it's worth my four bucks a week.
Such a polarising event. Awesome. This is exactly what DC needs. They have been tepid, at best, in my eyes, for years. This is good for them.
I picked it up and it blew my mind. It is a comic 'experience' that is for sure. It's not made to be a collector's item, and it's not made to be kept mint and flat in a carbonite shell. It's made to read, and reread, and remember how nice it is to sit back with something that entertains you and feel completely lost in that moment.
Reading this in trade will be missing the point entirely. This was made this way expressly for the purpose of being read this way. The size, the one week installments. That's part of the journey.
I would respect DC hugely if they didn't put this into a trade collection, and I know people will hate me saying that, but too many comics collectors (not readers, 'collectors') have that whole entitlement issue that they deserve to get it in trade. I think it would be a huge statement to keep this pure and not bow down to the masses. It would also be a huge fuck you, which would make me smile.
Then they can trade it in five years.
Not because a good story can't be told in that format, but because where will I put it so it's easily accessible for rereads?
It can't be that hard to find some place…
What, how are people having a hard time storing this, it fits right into my Long Box!
If you guys are complaining about the fact that it doesn't fit in a mylar bag, buy a couple of Golden Age bags.
"Comics were also invented to be a cheap form of entertainment"
You know, that's one of the most important aspect of the problem with the comic industry (specifically the two largest companies, Marvel & DC) over the past 20 or so years. Comics WERE and SHOULD still be a cheap form of entertainment.
They were a reasonably priced periodical that parents could buy (several copies) for their children to read and kids and teens could buy several ongoing series to enjoy.
So what happened? Costs per issues went up and up and up, speculators and collecting obsessed fans cared more about collect-ability and enhancements then the actual reading product and a generation, seeing a better value with video games and other forms of entertainment then a over-priced monthly comic (which would only give you a CHAPTER of a story) avoided comics in droves.
IF (and I say if because I have no idea what DC has in mind with the goals for the Wednesday Comics format),
but IF a weekly over-sized format of chapters of entertaining characters and stories are supposed to entice new readers (or maybe bring in a new generation of readers) into comic shops to try their ongoing monthly titles, they'll have to:
• Reduce the idiotic $2.99/$3.99 cover price
• MAKE THE STORIES ACCESSIBLE!!!! Good lord, stop the "incestuous" continuities and over-blown company wide cross overs.
If those matters aren't cleared up, a first time reader of a Wednesday Comic format will walk into his local comic shop, pick up one of the over-priced issues, page through it not comprehend what's going on (or worse, buy the issue, take it home and be completely lost) and not return.
"I would respect DC hugely if they didn't put this into a trade collection, and I know people will hate me saying that, but too many comics collectors (not readers, 'collectors') have that whole entitlement issue that they deserve to get it in trade. I think it would be a huge statement to keep this pure and not bow down to the masses. It would also be a huge fuck you, which would make me smile."
Hey. Dude. I'm not a "collector". I'm a "reader". I enjoy READING things in trade. I don't COLLECT issues so I can READ them in trade later. Okay?
Wednesday Comics readers: Being condescending and snobby fruitcakes is not going to get more people to read your precious fucking comic. If anything, it will drive people away. Alright?
People are talking about distribution as if DC can just walk up to every newsstand in the country and make them carry this thing that's only going to be available for 16 weeks. It's not that simple. It's hard enough to get ANY regular comics distributed through convenient stores, newsstands, and the likes these days, never mind a limited experimental format comic which quite frankly has names attached to it that we all know but the general reader of things at newsstands would have no idea about nor would tilt their decision to buy something like this on. Neil Gaiman is about the only name that pops outside of the insular world of comic fans, and even he is probably considered by most a Genre author who's appeal to a mass audience would still probably be considered limited at best. By having the Superman story reprinted in USA Today and contact numbers clearly stated at the bottom of each strip as to where you can call to pick up an issue of this comic at a local comic shop, honestly I don't think there's much more they could have done. USA Today represent like 2 million people in print, and something like 3.5 million people online. If this doesn't spark interest, then simply having them in newsstands and convenient stores (something for which the material has to then be returnable by the way and just isn't practical or realistic) isn't likely to spike sales either.
Simply because it's sitting there available, doesn't instantly mean that people will buy it. This is why all these places stopped carrying comic books in the first place. People stopped buying them, and so these places replaced comics with stuff people would buy.
I disagree with the idea that it should be available in locations other than comic book stores. Maybe it should have been inserted into some newspapers or whatever the hell WB owns, but non comic lovers aren't going to buy it. Some might molest it in the stores, but that's about it. Especially when they aren't going to recognize a lot of the characters – and they could care less about the creators. In fact, I don't think that it's designed for the majority of comic fans. I mean how many are bitching about the format and storage issues. Give me a break. Read it. I also agree with Adam that Ghost Boxes was a huge rip off – and sorry that I didn't read it in the store like that stupid mouth breathing guy at TBS Comics in Pensacola – you know who you are – quit blocking the stands loser.
The Batman page was my personal favorite. He and Sgt. Rock have been my favorites since I was a kid and I loved both of those. Paul Pope's story was great. The Flash and Green Lantern stories were nice and captured some of that Silver Age magic. The only ones that I didn't care for were the Titans and Wonder Woman stories.
Chris Jones: right now, the only person being a dick here is you. If you disagree with me, fair enough. Counter my points. But please, don't fall back on ad hominem attacks. That's just rude. Similarly, don't put words in my mouth. I never said "F… you, comics hater". What I said was "DC have taken a great deal of care over the design of this format, and this design makes it part of its appeal. I very much doubt that any eventual trade will match this, and thus people who wait may very well end up disappointed." Not the same thing _at all_. Hell, in all cases *but* Wednesday Comics, I'm a trade waiter myself.
Going back to the storage issue for the moment, I thought of several during the day, many of which have been suggested above already. One which hasn't, would be that if you want to keep it full-size (to minimise folds), get a folder like art students use (essentially two large pieces of card) and keep it in that. There are ways!
How can I counter "people not buying it because they can't keep it clean and neat are mental"? That isn't a point, that's just dissing people who don't buy the same things you do. Your whole post was just rudely dissing people who aren't buying Wednesday Comics. If you made points during it it was obscured by the passive aggressive/full on aggressive contempt for people who don't buy the same comics you do.
Whatever, I'm done with this, I'm not getting into a comment fight with people. We all know where that road leaves.
Wow… I state why *I* chose not to purchase something, and therefore I'm an "uber d-bag" [sic].
If you bought it and loved it, good for you. I just don't like gimmicks, especially expensive ones.
Get over yourselves. People disagree sometimes. Welcome to the real world.
I bought the first one out of curiosity, but really–I'm just not interested that much in superhero comics anymore these days. They got me revved up in the 60s when I was a kid, and since then, I"ve read and continue to read superhero comics, but…but…much less than before.
This new format is intriguing but hardly an inspiring pricepoint–and it doesn't do a THING to improve interest in the medium becauseit's being sold to the masses who already buy this stuff, anyway.
I remember Wham-O had a Colossal Comic book come out in about 1966 for 99 frickin cents. Pages and pages of great art, great story…now that was an unusual format…which went nowhere, but it definitely had a cool factor. This…'wednesday comics'…while moderately interesting…is only that.

Representatives of the political parties that make up the parliamentary Constitutional Reconciliation Commission have agreed to extend the time the commission has to draft Turkey's new constitution, Parliament Speaker Cemil Cicek said late on Monday.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting with members of the commission, Cicek said party representatives have agreed on an extension of time to finalize the process of drafting the new constitution, but he did not clearly state how long the commission will continue working. Sources said Cicek plans to convince the commission members to finalize their work by mid-May, but no immediate confirmation came from the parliament speaker or other state authority.
The most recent deadline passed on April 1 and Parliament was engulfed by uncertainty on how to handle the issue of writing the new constitution amidst constant bickering and accusations among politicians over the purported failure of the commission.
Monday's extension was the second granted to the commission to wrap up its work. Dec. 31, 2012, was previously declared the last day for the commission to finalize the draft constitution, but it failed to meet this deadline.
In early February, the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) and the opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) agreed to extend the time to help the commission finalize its work. The request came from the MHP, and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan responded positively, seeking the backing of the opposition party during the drafting process.
Sources close to the AK Party say the ruling party insists that the commission finish drafting the new constitution by the end of this month, but the opposition is reluctant to work under a strict deadline. Instead, the opposition says the commission should have an open-ended schedule and it should not be forced to complete its draft on a certain date.
Also on Monday evening, Cicek said a new sub-commission will be set up to accelerate the process. There is currently one sub-commission that focuses on finalizing the writing of articles on which the commission has already reached a consensus. The new sub-commission will work to bridge differences among political parties over controversial articles.
According to the parliament speaker, the Constitutional Reconciliation Commission will carry on its "busy schedule†and complete drafting the new constitution as soon as possible.
Ahmet Iyimaya, a deputy from the AK Party and member of the commission, spoke to reporters before Monday's meeting and said the commission is capable of finishing the draft of the new document within a month. "The last word [on the deadline] belongs to the commission head,†he added.

My computer bluesecreens a LOT (3 times just today), has been nearly since I built it 5 years ago and I've gone through everything to fix it. Last thing I've noticed is that there have been a couple of updates to my motherboard firmware but when I try to install them I just get an error that they won't work with a 64 bit OS (Windows 7 64).
I thought about using a live CD running a 32 bit Windows just to install the update. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Any reason it might not be a good idea? I looked around and just at first glance saw one called Vista pe that looked pretty decent.

Nano-thick Ag films were electrolessly deposited on TiN/p-Si(100) substrates. The substrates were prepared by sputtering TiN on p-Si(100) wafers. An activation process of the substrates was performed by immersing the substrates in a solution of 0.0019 moL L-1 PdCl2+0.45 moL L-1 HF+8.7 moL L-1 aceticacid+0.036 moL L-1 HCl so as to obtain the Pd seed layer. The general composition of the electroless Ag bath was 0.0032 moL L-1 AgNO3+2.24 moL L-1 NH3+0.56 moL L-1 aceticacid+0.1 moL L-1 NH2NH2 at pH 10.2. The morphologies of the Pd seed layer and the Ag films were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The effect of the Pd activation on electroless Ag deposition was tested by open circuit potential with time technology (OCP-t). For comparison, the morphology of the films deposited by electrochemical deposition on the substrates was also studied by AFM.

The King Cobra Discus fish is one of the most desired species of discus. They are very popular with electric blue and burnt orange swirls all over their body. Their fins tend to be longer and more elegant and the coloring is spectacular. The red scribbled markings on a brilliant teal background by themselves are amazing, and when you add its vertical black bars which can almost go unnoticed, the fish becomes one that people love to keep and look at. The vertical lines are more visible from the King Cobra's side and can be seen every time that it turns away.
If you are looking to breed the King Cobra discus fish then you could start by looking for pairs that have already bred in the past. You should know however that most of the time when you find such couples they can be a bit more expensive. If you get anywhere from 8 to 10 King Cobra Discus fish you will probably have 2 couples. Getting them young is ideal, but they do take some time to reach sexual maturity and have the ability to breed.
When it comes to breeding the King Cobra discus you should also put a lot of emphasis to the diet. The diet should be very nutritious and varied. As a breeder you should make sure that your fish eat it. A diet of live bloodworms and white worms is recommended, but extra care is necessary to ensure that you do not introduce disease to the aquarium.

Love this fish and the care you took in sending it.
Posted by Unknown on 28th Jan 2015
Just placed my first order with Steve for 14 Discus. I have been keeping fish for a long time, last few years mainly salt water coral(800gal) SPS.I have recently gotten back to also keeping Discus. I have dealt with many mail order stores and individuals and have to tell you Macs might be the best or at least among the very best. Steve's fish are healthy, packed well and his communication is great. Fish were eating several hours after getting them in the tank and are growing at an amazing rate. Getting ready to place a second order with Steve in the next few weeks. King cobras are beautiful as were the other fish I bought.
Posted by Kristina on 17th Jan 2015
Very satisfied with the discus I received from Steve. I will be buying more and highly recommend him.
Posted by Greg Knight on 7th Jan 2015
I received 8 King Cobras, they arrived in good condition considering the travel they had gone through. By the next day they were out exploring their new tank and eating my food. These King cobras are exactly what I was looking for, I would recommend Mac's discus to anyone looking for quality fish.
Posted by Frank B. on 13th Dec 2014
I have purchased many fish form Steve at Mac's Discus. The service is great and the selection is fantastic. The fish are still a bit small but the colors are coming out and I'm sure as always I will be very pleased.Steve sells healthy beautiful fish. I highly recommend Mac's Discus
Posted by Michael Noche on 20th May 2014
Top notch service! I received the King Cobra and Emerald Green discus in the same shipment. I followed the acclimation procedures and noticed the fish moving more as the process progressed forward. They were swimming around my tank as soon as installed. My wife and I are very happy customers and would definitely buy from Macs again!

The Israelites complain that they are tired of manna. "That's all we ever get, day in, day out!" God rains so much quail on them that they get sick. Meanwhile, Miriam and Aaron slander Moses' wife, Tzippora, behind her back. When God confronts them, they say: "How come you only talk to Moses face to face? We're prophets, too, you know." God afflicts Miriam with leprosy. Why is she the only one who is punished? Well, say the rabbis, she started it!
We must be careful with our words. Complaining will often get you nothing but anger from the person you're complaining to. And if you talk about someone behind their back, they'll probably do the same to you. How do we keep the peace? We talk. We don't complain to -- or about -- each other.

a web page that shows facility utilization % by
If you go to this page, and scroll down to the
privately managed prisons section, they show data on the
Eloy Detention Center. As I understand it, this is a
CCA/PZN facility for federal inmates. The data they show
on the page is as of May 21,1999. It shows only 1195
of 1500 beds occupied, 79% utilization.
does not seem to jibe with the press release that was
put out by the comapny which indicated all beds in
the federal system are at 100% capacity.
anyone understand this? Is this definitely a PZN
facility? Are all the beds supposed to be for Federal
Inmates?? I am confused.
olddaddygram. Speculation is fine, but your post
read as if you knew as a fact that there had been
stock manipulation. There just seem to be a lot of
posts trying to blame everyone but management for what
has happened to the stock.
Yeah, I know. I just through the thing in the garbage. My point was that this was an extreme case that demonstrates the rule, these class-action security suits benefit the lawyers and nobody else.
I didn't realize that we didn't have the right to
speculate on this board. Those other 2000 or so posts,why
havn't you criticized them for their speculations. Since
when is the part brokerage houses and marketmakers
play not an issue in the price of a stock. In answer
to your question, I am looking for justification for
the current price of PZN's stock. I am long in the
stock and am trying to infer through my message that
PZN is more valuable than it's price. I blame
brokers, analysts,market
makers, bond issuers and Doc
for the price being where it is today. That's why I
suggested the SEC look into it. My only proof is that I
have personally received funds from a major brokerage
firm because a broker fraudulently misrepresented a
stock to me and others. So, I know these things are
possible. In the case of PZN, I have no proof, at this
time, of anything like this happening. Sorry if I
stepped on your toes.
you don't have to sign off on any settlement you don't like. If you get zip and are asked to sign away your rights, tell the lawyers to take a hike.
"Brokers, analysts, et al, took advantage of PZN.
Do you have evidence of security houses shorting the
stock, or are you looking for justification for the
current stock price beyond the recent management
missteps? If you have evidence, please share, otherwise
focus on issues not speculation.
Brokers, analysts, et al, took advantage of PZN.
Certainly some of the critics shorted. Some of the past
major boosters of PZN in the brokerage business
shorted. Fortunes have been made by the shorts since Doc's
unfortunate telephone conference with the analysts. The SEC
should investigate what some of the brokerage houses
have done. Many sheep have been sheared. Brokers
holding a
short position that advised their clients
to get out bear some of the responsibility for PZN's
their day in court and I sincerely hope
everything works out best for everyone involved. I wish
nothing like that would ever happen in any facility and I
wish there wasn't a need for such
That's one of the differences between me and my friend
R2D2, as nic has penned him. I wish incarcerations were
not necessary; I would gladly have found other
investments that certainly would have worked better for me.
If prisons were not needed, R2D2 and his work
associates would have to find other employment; it is their
livelihood. Despite their protests, they don't want better
prisons or better conditions for prisoners. They want the
maximum number of prisons staffed by the maximum number
of Unionized guards. No reasonable person can say
Also, as opposed to the R2D2's of the world, I'm
searching for "the truth" in regards to PZN as an
investment and as a company. If anyone wanted to search the
old CCA archives they would see some pretty stinging
indictments from me. R2D2 is what nic has referred to as the
consumate paid shill. He (she/they/whatever) scour the news
(and they do have one hell of a search engine) for
negative news on PZN. Never any balance. Interestingly,
not even any negatives on WHC. Why is that? Because
he knows that WHC and CPV are not the threat to
Unions. It is PZN (re-read our new poster who talks about
CA. allowing private prisons of less than 500
occupency to be built). If WHC/CPV has the market share and
momentum of PZN, the attacks would simply be
I will say that as far as posters go, I do in some
ways respect R2D2. He makes no attempt to hide who he
is or what his mission is. There is honor in
Back in the 70's I shorted stocks more times than I
went long. There is absolutely nothing wrong in
shorting a stock. It actually often serves to shake up
management and cause positive change. I've learned alot from
some of the negative posters on this board - cleo is a
good example. I'd love nothing more than for PZN to
make whatever changes are needed to bring her over
from the dark side.
Good luck to all.
A couple of years ago I got a notice that I was
being put in a class for a lawsuit against a group of
market makers. The negotiated settlement was that the
lawyers got some money and the plaintiffs (i.e., me) were
asked to sign off on the deal by giving up our right to
sue the MM's for the same supposed actions that had
damaged us, whatever they were. No money to the
plaintiffs at all, just to the lawyers - we plaintiffs just
had to sign away our rights. What a scam!!!
.....let the guards have their day in court. Why do you so easily convict them. Let a jury decide.
I bought PZN after the fall, but before it hit
it's low. I went thru a class action against DELL when
it fell to 12.50 a few years ago. Did not get much.
I own 2,500 shares. They said my share should be
over 5,000 I received 500. Class action suits only
bring the price of the stock down and make lawyers rich
and it looks like there soon will be more lawyers
than stock holders. I'm keeping my stock, still own
Dell. I'm a small fish but a long term holder.

Information Warfare: A Response to Taddeo

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Taddeo's recent article, 'Information Warfare: A Philosophical Perspective' (Philos. Technol. 25:105–120, 2012) is a useful addition to the literature on information communications technologies (ICTs) and warfare. In this short response, I draw attention to two issues arising from the article. The first concerns the applicability of 'information warfare' terminology to current political and military discourse, on account of its relative lack of contemporary usage. The second engages with the political and ethical implications of treating ICT environments as a 'domain', with its ramifications for the pursuit of 'dominion', particularly through military action.

Discover FInancial (DFS +1.5%) is upgraded to Buy at FBR Capital, which boosts FY13 and FY14 estimates thanks to higher receivables growth, better net interest margin, and lower credit costs.

A novel, integrated approach in thermal management of electronic products, based on two-phase cooling, is presented. A flat miniature heat pipe, integrated inside the laminated structure of a printed circuit board (PCB) has been developed, based on mainstream PCB fabrication processes. Hot spots on the PCB, caused by heat dissipating components, can be cooled with relatively small temperature gradients across the board. An analytical model is presented to predict the behavior of the embedded heat pipe for various geometries, orientations, and operating temperatures. Experimental verification has shown successful heat pipe operation. The heat pipe exhibited a measured equivalent thermal conductivity more than seven times higher than solid copper. Low-thermal resistance values establish this concept as a promising thermal management solution for future electronic products. As mainstream manufacturing techniques are applied, thin PCBs with integrated cooling support can be produced at low-cost.

After two volumes in which numerous and disparate plotlines seemingly ran in every direction possible, Madlax finally starts showing signs of real cohesion in this third volume. While these episodes contain no full-on collision between the worlds of our two protagonists, there is a definite crossing of paths.
Here are some highlights from the episodes on this release:
• Episode 9: "Scent Left Behind"
• Episode 10: "Infiltration"
• Episode 11: "Foreign Nation"
• Episode 12: "Vanished Will"
This series keeps getting better and better. We have reached the halfway point, the storylines are starting to come together, and the plot is really cooking. Given the complexity of the plot, not to mention the number of characters now involved, I keep waiting for Madlax to implode, but it somehow manages to keep on chugging along.
This disc boasts another outstanding transfer. You also get another fine 5.1 English track, although I still suggest sticking with the Japanese stereo track, as the voice acting in the dub works against the characters and the story. Extras include the expected clean opening and closing sequences, previews, a few promo spots for the original Japanese broadcasts, and a sketch gallery. There's also another chapter of "Conversations with SSS," which gets less funny with each installment.
Do I fully understand the plot yet? No. Do I care? No, because I'm having too much fun watching it unfold. If you haven't given Madlax a shot, what're you waiting for?
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Madlax: In-Between (Volume 3) a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

Feb. 14, 2012 -- The poorer your sleep, the more likely you may be to develop Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study.
"We found that if people had a lot of awakenings during the night, more than five awakenings in an hour, they are more likely to have preclinical Alzheimer's disease," says researcher Yo-El Ju, MD, assistant professor of neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
Preclinical Alzheimer's disease is the term given to people who have normal mental skills but show brain changes associated with the degenerative disorder.
Ju is due to present her findings on sleep problems and Alzheimer's disease in April at the American Academy of Neurology's annual meeting in New Orleans.
The study is preliminary. It finds an association, but not a cause and effect.
"We don't know which is the cart and which is the horse," says Gary Small, MD, Parlow-Solomon professor on aging at the University of California Los Angeles and director of its Longevity Center. Are brain changes driving the sleep problems or vice-versa? More study is needed, says Small, who reviewed the findings for WebMD. Ju agrees.
Sleep Problems and Alzheimer's Disease
Ju and her colleagues evaluated 100 men and women aged 45-80. All were free of dementia at the study start. Half of them have a family history of Alzheimer's disease.
Ju is in the process of enrolling or evaluating another 100 people. She expects to have those results by the meeting.
For 14 days, the men and women wore a device that measures sleep. They also completed sleep diaries and questionnaires.
The researchers analyzed spinal fluid. They looked at brain scans. They were looking for indicators of "amyloid plaques." These are deposits found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's. Experts believe the deposits can begin forming 10 to 15 years before the symptoms appear, Ju says.
People slept an average of six-and-a-half hours, although they spent about eight hours a night in bed.
Sleep Problems and Alzheimer's: Study Results
About 25% of the 100 people had evidence of pre-clinical Alzheimer's disease due to abnormal indicators reflecting amyloid plaques. Those who woke up most frequently, more than five times an hour, were more likely than the others to have these abnormal biomarkers.

Raymond Huo
Raymond Huo (Chinese name: 霍建强, Huo Jianqiang) is a former Member of Parliament in New Zealand. He was first elected in 2008 as the New Zealand Labour Party's first MP of Chinese descent. He is the third Chinese New Zealander to enter Parliament, after the National Party's Pansy Wong and ACT's Kenneth Wang.
Early life[edit]
Huo was born in Qianshan, an eastern part of China. Huo's father was a doctor, and his mother was a head nurse. They were in their early thirties when they volunteered to move from the Capital City to Qianshan to help the local population fight Schistosoma, a parasitic disease. It was here that Huo first picked up some of the ideals and beliefs, such as social justice and equity, which would lead him into politics.[1]
Being a medical professional did not spare Huo's father from persecution during the Cultural Revolution. His father—an "intellectual"—was ordered to stand at the gates of the hospital for an hour, three times a day with a white board stating "counter-revolutionary medical expert". Raymond Huo, only 5 years old at the time, joined him with a smaller whiteboard saying "little counter-revolutionary medical expert". He later said he secretly believed it was his little sign that ended the Cultural Revolution soon afterward.
Huo credits his time in the small rural town as a major influence on his desire for free-will that he has carried into his politics and world view.[2]
As a teenager Huo taught himself to speak English in China by listening to the radio.[3] Huo went on to study English at Anhui University in Hefei and Law at China University of Political Studies and Law in Beijing.
Huo emigrated to New Zealand in 1994. He worked as a journalist for the New Zealand Herald where he was the Asian Affairs reporter. He subsequently obtained MLitt (First Class Honours) majoring in political communication and LLB from the University of Auckland. Prior to becoming a Member of Parliament, Huo practiced law in Auckland at Brookfields and Hesketh Henry.[4]
Member of Parliament[edit]
|Parliament of New Zealand
Huo was elected via the Labour Party list at the 2008 election and appointed as spokesman for Statistics, the Law Commission and Chinese Community Affairs. He also sat on the select committee for Law and Order and a Trustee on the Board of the Asia:New Zealand Foundation.[5] Huo was re-elected in 2011, but due to his party's poor showing in the 2014 election lost his seat in Parliament.
Member's Bills[edit]
Huo was a strong advocate for Ethnic Representation on the new board of the Auckland Council Super City and submitted the Local Government (Auckland Council) (Asian Advisory Board) Amendment Bill to the House. Although Huo's Bill was voted down in Parliament by 64 votes to 58 on 4 November 2009, the Government soon after announced that an Ethnic Advisory Board Panel would be established on the new council.[6]
Huo has also been vocal about the need for New Zealand to overhaul the Export Education sector which is worth over $2.3 billion to the countries economy. Huo believes that New Zealand has a reputation for "ghetto education" in Asian countries and must change this or risk losing hundreds of International students from the Asian region.
In February 2011 Huo said because of its economic importance, he will write to the Prime Minister to adopt the Education (export education by private training establishments) Amendment Bill to be included in the current Education Amendment Bill (No 4).[7]
Following Russel Norman's controversial protest to PRC Vice President Xi Jinping during Xi's 2010 visit to New Zealand, Huo write a blog entry defending Chinese rule over Tibet.[8] Thuten Kesang, spokesperson for the New Zealand Tibetan community, accused Huo of "promoting communist China progaganda" and said he would lay a formal complaint with the Labour Party.[8]
Huo has published a number of books and articles including, Now in New Zealand, Something to Crow About, Jinma: Philosophy on Wisdom and Human Life (five volumes), Simplified American novels with Chinese notes: Love of Life, Life in the woods and five others, Lexicon of Contemporary English, Collected Works with Equivalent Chinese and Lexicon of Contemporary English, a Concise Edition [9] Huo's latest book, The New Zealand Quartet, detailing his life and career in New Zealand, was slated for release in late 2011.

Few-mode fiber (FMF) compatible optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) is indispensable for the future flexible high-speed mode-division multiplexed (MDM) optical networks. In this paper, we demonstrate a proof of concept of FMF compatible OADM which enables add/drop functionality for MDM superchannels. The OADM consists of two cascaded free-space thin-film filters with 5° incident angle. We demonstrate the rerouting of 3 × 318 Gb/s MDM CO-OFDM superchannels via the proposed OADM. The experimental results show 2.6, 2.4, and 0.7 dB OSNR penalties for add, drop, and through ports, respectively. Additionally, we demonstrate a heterodyne receiver configuration which can handle multiband detection without incurring penalty of spectral efficiency.

4 Bands/Artists That I DESPISE (Even Though many friends and loved ones whose opinions I respect happen to like them)
- 1. The Red Hot Chilli Peppers--amazingly, if you take a virtuoso bassist, a fine guitarist with exquisite taste and skill, a charismatic lead vocalist, and a funky energetic drummer, you get . . . really crappy music!
- 2. Dave Matthews Band--I am the only one who thinks it's weird that this group consists of two white guys who look like my junior high math teachers and three gigantic black men. weird.
- 3. The Police--This is Elevator music. (some great singles, though)
- 4. Nine Inch Nails--They were so scary and angst-ridden and dangerous and crappy. Until Marilyn Manson came around and became a scarier and crappier version of them. Marilyn should have called himself "Twelve Inch Nails" because he is about three inches crappier than NIN.
- Login to post comments
Flea is no where near virtuoso. I agree with you on the Nine Inch Nails, very funny point. However I disagree with you on the other three and yu made no strong point for your argument (not like you really have to, if you don't like them then you don't) Dave is really amazing live, and his earlier albums are wonderful. Chili's are always pretty good too. Police I liked, until I had to watch this video on sting about 30 times in jazz band and so I'm sort of burnt out on Sting.
- Login to post comments
Wait a minute. The Police produce "elevator music," but some of their singles are great? Huh? Does that mean that their singles aren't elevator music or just much better elevator music?
- Login to post comments
Their Singles: AMAZING POP ROCK
The rest of their stuff: ELEVATOR MUSIC
- Login to post comments
Absolutely, 100% in agreement with your placement of Dave Matthews Band. How the heck did these guys become famous? Frat boys unite!!!
- Login to post comments
The Peppers rule, man. Otherwise, I'm very strongly 'meh' about those others.
- Login to post comments
I depise the Chili Peppers too. Can't stand Anthony's voice.
I don't really like the Police either.
the other 2 I disagree with though.

Top 10 Dog Friendly Neighborhoods in NYC
Despite being somewhat challenged in the square-footage department--not to mention the scarcity of things such as back yards--New Yorkers aren't hesitant about sharing their urban homes and lives with furry friends. In fact, it's been estimated that there are more than 280,000 dogs currently living in Manhattan alone, with at least double that number in the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens.
But although every neighborhood in New York City has more than it's share of pet owners of all kinds, some communities just make having a dog easier, more comfortable, and more fun. Here then, are our Top 10 Dog-friendly Neighborhoods in NYC.
Upper West Side
Flanked on both the east and the west by large and lovely green spaces--namely, the world-famous Central Park and the wonderful Riverside Park-- residents of the Upper West Side and their dogs are never farther than a couple of blocks away from a nice, long walk in the park. Each space has early-morning "off-leash" times, as well as multiple enclosed dogs runs where your pup can get to know his or her neighbors. AND there are plenty of pet stores and services on the long commercial strips of Broadway, Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues.
Park Slope
The big draw for dog lovers in this Brooklyn neighborhood is, of course, the huge and beautiful Prospect Park which, in addition to off-leash times and numerous dog runs, also features New York City's only Dog Beach. And although there are more than enough pet stores and services on the main drags of 5th and 7th Avenues, the pretty, brownstone- and tree-lined side streets make even your non-park walks in Park Slope a treat.
Battery Park City
This small, contained community in Lower Manhattan has lots of communal lawns and walkways, which make even quick walks pleasant for both dog and owner. Even better, Battery Park City is located right next to the great Hudson River Park and Rockefeller Park, which both offer wide promenades and terrific views of the Hudson River and the New Jersey skyline.
Hollis Hills
Sandwiched between the rolling terrain of Cunningham Park and the wetlands, meadows and forests of Alley Pond Park, this eastern Queens neighborhood is ideal for long, energetic adventures with your dog. Plus the suburban feel of the Hollis Hills community--single-family detached houses with lawns provide much of the housing here--make for pleasant quick walks.
West Village
Walking the side streets of the West Village, one of the prettiest neighborhoods in all of Manhattan, is always a pleasure, but it's the multiple dog runs and ready access to the terrific Hudson River Park that make this community as appealing to dogs as it is to the humans.
Upper East Side
Any apartment in this Manhattan neighborhood that's within two or three blocks of the magnificent Central Park is obviously perfect for dogs (and their people). But on the upper eastern end of the Upper East Side, you'll also find the often overlooked Carl Schurz Park, with its popular dog run and pretty promenade overlooking the East River. And the commercial strips on Lexington, Third, Second and First Avenues provide all the pet stores and services you'll need.
Brooklyn Heights
The recently opened, beautifully-designed Brooklyn Bridge Park, filled with lawns and pathways with spectacular views of the Brooklyn Bridge and the downtown Manhattan skyline, add another reason why residents of this historic Brooklyn neighborhood like to brag about their dog-friendly neighborhood. The promenade overlooking the East River and the Empire Fulton Ferry Park in next-door DUMBO round out the Brooklyn Heights appeal.
Rockaway Beach
Although dogs aren't allowed on the beach itself, walking those boardwalks and beach-town-y side streets is always a treat for both human and beast. Plus, much of the housing at Rockaway Beach consists of attached or detached homes, complete with small back yards.
Kew Gardens
The tight-knit Queens community of Kew Gardens offers dogs and their people an excellent expanse of green space with the Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Forest Park--with its pretty, private road for strolling, running or bike riding--all within easy walking distance of just about everywhere in the neighborhood.
In addition to its quiet, winding, shade-covered streets and gorgeous homes, Fieldston is a privately-owned neighborhood that happens to be right next door to New York City's fourth largest park, the 1,000-acre Van Cortlandt Park, making dog walks for all purposes and durations a pleasure.
What do you think? Do you have your own favorite dog friendly neighborhoods? Tell us, or post it on our Facebook page.

Only the presence of snow could have brought more Christmas spirit to the magical atmosphere that surrounded Shelbyville's Celebration of Lights on Saturday.
But the crowd wasn't complaining about the balmy temperatures, as large numbers of people happily munched on popcorn, funnel cakes and hot dogs, browsed through downtown shops and listened to holiday music sung by children and adults alike.
Crime Stoppers is seeking information about a rash of ongoing vandalism and theft in the 800 block of Kentucky Street.
The vandalism is in the form of spray painting on buildings in that area, which is industrial.
And on Nov. 7, some hand tools, wrenches and sockets valued at about $100, were stolen from a truck at Early Environmental Service, located at 857 Kentucky Street.
The Women's Network, which bills itself as Advocates of Democratic Principles, selected Shelbyville for its annual meeting, bringing an array of notable political figures to speak Saturday on key issues faced by the state and country.
"Shelbyville was selected to host it because we're a fairly active chapter. We have a good history of bringing in very interesting speakers," said Marty Lanus, moderator for the event, which will be held at at Claudia Sanders Dinner House.
Crime Stoppers is seeking information about a theft that occurred when a wallet was stolen from a customer at Kroger in Shelbyville.
On Oct. 26 at about 5:30 p.m., a woman was shopping at Kroger when two men approached her. The woman, 66, was looking at birthday cards.
One of the men distracted her and the other man took her wallet from her purse, which was sitting in her shopping cart.
Nellie Todd was robbed of her wallet, her money, and her credit cards, but not of her dignity.
She said she bears no ill will toward the young man who snatched her wallet from her shopping cart when she went to Kroger last Tuesday to pick up her medication.
"We were both wrong," she said. "It was wrong of me to leave it in the cart, and it was wrong of him to take it."
Luis A. Ruiz-Vazquez, 35, of 6957 Taylorsville Road in Fisherville was arrested Saturday at Haven Hill and U.S. 60 and charged with no operator's license, disregarding a stop sign, DUI, first offense, and failure to maintain insurance, first offense.
Patricio Ubaldino, 32, of 2169 Midland Trail in Shelbyville was arrested Saturday at that address and charged with no operator's license, no registration plates and failure to maintain insurance, first offense.
Insufficient federal funding has frozen the Section 8 Rental Voucher Program, which helps low-income individuals and families find and pay for affordable housing, meaning more and more struggling families in Shelby County are looking for shelter.
The waiting list in Kentucky closed in January 2008 with nearly 10,000 applicants, and though it is down to 3,500 applicants, it has not reopened.

The City of Simpsonville has received a $3,000 state grant to purchase new body armor for its police department, Governor Steve Beshear announced Thursday.
The money comes from the state Law Enforcement Protection Program. Under this program, administered by the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security (KOHS), appropriate agencies can seek financial help for certain defensive items essential in the course of their duties.
LOUISVILLE – Sacred Heart junior Emma Brink picked up her third consecutive regional title Saturday at E.P. "Tom" Sawyer Park, but Shelby County sophomore Caterina Karas stayed right on her heels.
For the second year in a row, Karas took second place, and this year she extended her lead on the rest of the field.
Karas was 14 seconds behind Brink but topped the rest of the field by 24 seconds.

For the first half of the game Tuesday night it appeared the Rattler girls basketball team was still on Thanksgiving break. Navasota traveled to Katy to take on Pope John XXIII High School and led only 19-13 at intermission. The Rattlers were ic cold in the first quarter connecting on only 2 of their 14 shots.
Things heated up the the second half as the Big Blue had runs of 12-2 and 11-3 to cruise to a commanding 43-23 lead after 3 quarters of play.
The Rattlers had 4 players score in double figures. Tashyra Banks and Harley White had 15 while Dee Dee Robinson added 12 and Denisha Ford chipped in 10.
Molly Love added 6 while pulling down 10 rebounds and having 6 assists. Kalandrea Jefferson had 3 points while both Khaliah Peterson and Bree Mock added 2 points.
Navasota forced 37 turnovers and outrebounded the Lions 52-34.
The win improves the Rattlers season record to 5-2 .

Hello All,
I'm looking for a way to display my posts by amount of views rather than date. So hopefully the post with the highest views will be top of the category achieve and therefore display on the front page slideshow. If you're following so far here's some more depth...
The idea is that the post with the most views as the day goes on will be on the front page, as the most red, and the one with the least will be listed last. At the end of the day everything resets and the whole process starts again. Ultimately the most interesting posts will always be first and it won't be me who makes that decision but my visitors. Of course new posts will be added daily too.
If you can give me a pointer to either how I can do this with my arras theme or if there is some plug-in or hack I would very much appreciate your support.

Sales of the all-new Honda Vezel SUV have kicked off in Japan, although the Nissan Juke rival won't arrive in the UK until early 2015. Honda won't use the Vezel name when it arrives in the UK and the engine line-up will differ, but the rest of the package will remain.
Based on the same platform as the next-generation Honda Jazz, the Vezel takes many of its styling cues from the CR-Z coupe. The narrow grille, raked back headlights and sloping roofline give it a more sporting and coupe-like appearance. Practicality hasn't been compromised, however, with 453 litres of boot space available - dwarfing the Nissan Juke's 251 litres.
In the UK, Honda's Urban SUV is likely to adopt the same engine line-up as the Jazz it's based on and feature the manufacturer's fuel-efficient Earth Dreams units, including the Civic's 1.6-litre diesel. The hybrid powertrain from the Jazz could also be used for the UK spec models, making it the first compact SUV offered with hybrid running gear.
Confirmation of specifications, engine options and a name for the UK model will be announce closer to its launch in 2015.

The recipe was super easy to follow, delicious and didn't require a trip to the grocery store! We skipped the pine nuts because we didn't have them in our pantry. Loved it!
Spice-Crusted Tofu
From EatingWell: Spring 2004, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)
Pantry ingredients and basic spices transform a package of tofu into a quick, simple meal - no slicing and dicing required.
9 Reviews for Spice-Crusted Tofu
This is our favorite tofu recipe!
It was so easy to prepare.
Lovely flavors -- the sweetness of the honey/lemon was a great counterpart to the spices of the dredge.
Also, the crunchiness of the pine nuts was nice, given tofu's basic texture.
Only thing we did differently was cut the tofu (a half-recipe) into smaller, thinner slices, so we had more of the spice flavor.
Great meal!
My husband and I are big tofu eaters and I was looking for some ways to mix it up. This was excellent and very easy to make.
I substituted the pine nuts for roasted sunflower seeds.
Will definitely make again and again !
I made this to go along with a pasta dish I was bringing to a cousin's get together last night. (pasta, artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, fresh green beans) I kept it on the side as I wasnt sure who would eat tofu. Everyone LOVED it... a big hit for sure!
Will make it for sure again!
Loved it! I sprinkled some fitflax on top

Colebatch Ministry
The Colebatch Ministry was the 14th Ministry of the Government of Western Australia and was led by Nationalist Premier Hal Colebatch. It succeeded the Lefroy Ministry on 17 April 1919 after Sir Henry Lefroy's resignation as premier. Colebatch, a member of the Legislative Council and the first (and so far only) from that chamber to ever be asked to form a ministry, had the problem of finding a conveniently-located country seat which was not held by the Country Party. Before he could consolidate his leadership, his handling of the "Battle of the Barricades" on the waterfront severely damaged his standing and he stood aside. On 17 May 1919, the First Mitchell Ministry was formed by the Minister for Lands, James Mitchell.

Bill's done what now?
Whoa, you missed the real candidacy-killing quote from him:
Mr. Biden is equally skepticalalbeit in a slightly more backhanded wayabout Mr. Obama. I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, he said. I mean, thats a storybook, man.
Yikes. Note to Sen. Biden: A decidedly nontrivial portion of the Democratic base is African-American. Perhaps you shouldn't implicitly suggest they're mostly inarticulate, dumb, and dirty.
That's what will kill him right there.
Ah, beat me to it with the update.
Just when the Democrats finally win a majority in both Houses and can finally come together to do good works for the people, they will all be at each other's throats over Presidential politics. How do all these hats in the ring create or foster cohesiveness?
cohesiveness? Democrats?? You gotta be kidding me.
Biden's a great senator, but a terrible, terrible presidential candidate (like most or all senators). Bloviating is a religion with him. And don't forget the plagiarism business; future Republicans certainly won't. Biden's got no chance, or if he has any, it's a negative capability for the Democrats.
Biden is done. He always was. He was barely above John Kerry on the "has a chance" meter. Only Republicans think this is a big deal.
What a pompous, bigoted, windbag.
The Biden campaign is DOA. He's a DLC dem-slave for the Delaware corporate masters with no redeeming qualities. Everytime he has found himself in a position to make a stand about something that matters he wimps out.
I am stunned that is stupid enough to call Hillary's bid a no-go proposition. Have any of you Sloggers ever met a Biden Democrat? Is one of you one?
Biden needs to slink away from this contest now -- before he starts damaging anyone other than himself.
With or without the comma, Biden has just succeeded in screwing himself.
I don't think that this was what his campaign manager had in mind when he told him to do something that would make voters forget about the old plagarism drama.
new definition for POLITICAL DEAD DUCK
little chance has become NO chance
and just to set things straight, Jesse Jackson is very articulate, classy dresser and handsome as hell today and killer pretty years ago
