Coughs, Age 12 and Older (cont.)
Check Your Symptoms
Home Treatment
Coughing is your body's way of removing foreign substances and mucus from your lungs and upper airway passages. Productive coughs are often useful, and you should not try to eliminate them. Sometimes, though, coughs are severe enough to impair breathing or prevent rest. Home treatment can help you feel more comfortable when you have a cough.
Home treatment for adults
Cough preparations may help your cough. Avoid cold remedies that combine medicines to treat many symptoms. It is generally better to treat each symptom separately. There are two kinds of cough medicines: expectorants and suppressants.
Cough preparation precautions
For more information on home treatment of respiratory problems, see the Home Treatment section of the topic Respiratory Problems, Age 12 and Older.
Symptoms to watch for during home treatment
Call your doctor if any of the following occur during home treatment:

Does anyone know if SGEN has any corporate governance that will block a hostile takeover? Roche has gone for hostile takeovers in the past and would not surprise me here!
Don't think it would be hostile. They have worked together and I beleive that Roche would make the offer too good to be turn down.
well hope you are right. nobody likes to pay to much. medx was stolen by bmy.
I tend to agree, but for the record, SGEN does have the 'poison pill' capability to fend off a hostile takeover. From the 10Q: Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders, which authority could be used to adopt a "poison pill" that could act to prevent a change of control of Seattle Genetics that has not been approved by our Board of Directors. The rights of the holders of common stock may be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Seattle Genetics without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. Further, certain provisions of our charter documents, including provisions eliminating the ability of stockholders to take action by written consent and limiting the ability of stockholders to raise matters at a meeting of stockholders without giving advance notice, may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or management of Seattle Genetics, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of our stock. In addition, our charter documents provide for a classified board, which may make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of our Board of Directors. Similarly, state anti-takeover laws in Delaware and Washington related to corporate takeovers may prevent or delay a change of control of Seattle Genetics.
I Agree to, give it a year or 2.
Llabtech,There is one little company trying something like you mentioned GNSZ. I haven't studied it very well, seems they are self promoting a bit too much. In a phase I trial. I do keep an eye on it. I have no position in her.
Looks likes, it's better to stay in it for another yr. I'll avg it up then, thanks folks!
As news hits and collaborations continue you will stand to gain so much more. A year here is not enough time but you should always reevaluate your investment. Without any great catalyst the stock has been gaining momentum and is following the plans Clay set out. Too many biotechs are like kids in a candy store wanting to do too much without the cash. SGEN is doing it with their cash reserves and income rather than dilution, gains in their space and how to expand it, working with many of the big pharmas.Until we find that the platform can not be expanded or has limitations, I would bet on SGEN making great strides.

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
Every week, Chad Nevett and I will be reviewing an issue of Before Watchmen through a discussion of each issue. We continue with Doctor Manhattan #1 by J. Michael Straczysnki (writer), Adam Hughes (art) and Laura Martin (colors).
Chad Nevett: Once again, J. Michael Straczynski goes back to the origin of a character to remind us that everything we knew was wrong! Or… not exactly true. Or not the whole story. Or whatever. I want that man to write my biography so I can find out some new, weird facts about my birth that call into question my whole being. I really do. Prove that my daddy ain't my daddy, Joe!
Er… anyway…
I actually didn't mind what Straczynski did here. I guess it calls for you to see Manhattan's powers as similar to observing events rather than his consciousness simply flipping up and down the timestream, inhabiting each moment while living it. That fundamental difference is what JMS hinges this story on — the idea that you can't observe something without changing it. And if Manhattan observes his own history, he will change it. Sort of. It's an interesting idea, just not one that I find entirely consistent with the character we were shown in Watchmen.
Brian Cronin: Yeah, this comic was worlds better than Nite Owl, as Straczynski came up with an interesting narrative approach in this book with the whole concept of Manhattan visiting moments in his own life. I think it gave us some interesting insights into his life pre-Manhattan, especially the idea that even before he became Doctor Manhattan, he was already prone to being detached from life.
While I have said in the past (I think even in one of these Before Watchmen reviews) that the first meeting of the second attempt at the Crimebusters is one of the most amazing pieces of sequential art that I've ever seen (Dave Gibbons deserves an award just for that sequence), it still amazes me how interested Straczynski is in that scene, as this is the second comic he has had set in that sequence. The idea that Rorschach was Manhattan's original choice was a clever one (although I loved the idea that they were told to write their IDs on pieces of paper and Rorschach somehow drew a perfect Rorschach test on his), especially the glimpse at what that future might have looked like.
I thought Hughes' artwork was outstanding.
His design work was strong, as the pages were laid out impeccably. His character work was quote good, as well. The expressions on the various characters' faces spoke volumes (the way he caught the glimmer in Silk Spectre's eyes was really impressive). Here's a question for you – of the artists out there best known for their "T 'n' A," who do you think is the one whose greatness is most obscured by their "T 'n' A" rep? Hughes is definitely up there, right? I think J. Scott Campbell is another guy who people tend to overlook how good of a comic book artist he is because, you know, he draws calendars of slutty fairy tale characters. Campbell is actually an excellent storyteller in his sequential work.
Laura Martin's colors were outstanding, as well. A very lush presentation. She is really quite masterful as a colorist.
It was interesting to see Nite Owl in his later years as a costumed hero. It will be quite intriguing to see how they broke up in Minutemen. Will Cooke get that far, do you think? One place I think Hughes slipped a bit is in his depiction of Nite Owl. He sure didn't look like he had gained twenty pounds.
Do you think Manhattan's detached nature is because he is genuinely detached or because he is so obsessed with control that he can't help but become detached in the process?
CN: Well, issue five of Minutemen is supposed to have something BIG. Something that may just piss everyone off.
Showing that Osterman was somewhat detached before he became Dr. Manhattan was a good move. I didn't like the scene where the girl basically laid out all of his problems, dared him not to be like that, and he responded with a blank stare and a refusal. Again, JMS's inability to do anything subtle makes an appearance. After all, what we saw of Osterman in Watchman was a shy, withdrawn man — but one that seemed to want to not be like that, to engage with others to a degree. I didn't particularly like Straczynski working against that idea. That scene makes me wonder if the Osterman JMS is showing would ever be as bold as he was shown to be with Janey. They're not at direct odds, but there's an inconsistency there, caused by his inability to not go overboard to try and make a point.
Hughes is different from other artists known for drawing cheesecake stuff. He's more akin to Terry Dodson than any other artist working in mainstream superhero comics — maybe Frank Cho as well. I rather enjoyed the chance to see what he could do with some interior work at this point in his career and I was not disappointed. His clean, simple line work is exactly what you need with a story that jumps around like this one does. You need solid, clear art that will always let you know where and when you are.
When I finished this issue, I did have my doubts about this series — more than any other, I'm not sure if there will actually be a point to this one that won't rely on veering so far from Watchmen that it's essentially unrelated. But, that's me.
BC: Oh yeah, that scene with the girlfriend was rough. What's funny, though, is that Hughes (for me, at least) saved the page by having a bunch of nice visual touches (looking at her askew through the lens plus the car in the background arriving, her getting in and it driving off).
I think Stracynzki's lack of subtly was less of an issue with Doctor Manhattan since so much of the character is inherently over the top. I mean, the dude had multiple versions of himself fuck his girlfriend so he wouldn't be distracted! Dude built a giant clock on the moon! Subtly was never a big part of Doctor Manhattan.
That being said, yeah, as much as I enjoyed some of the ideas in this issue and how they were presented, it seems like through the way that it has mostly just revisited the events of Watchmen so far it is also the most inconsequential of the seven Before Watchmen series (it will undoubtedly be unseated for the title by Moloch when that comes out).
Question – do you think Doctor Manhattan is a transformed Jon Osterman or do you think he is a new being that happens to share Osterman's memories, Anatomy Lesson style?
CN: Moloch will be great. Eduardo Risso, motherfuckers! Although, given Azzarello's involvement in these books, the fact that JMS is writing that one for Risso to draw just seems all kinds of wrong.
Answer – Transformed. If only because pulling an "Anatomy Lesson" with this character would be too fucking groan-inducing. At that point, I'm fully jumping into the anti-JMS camp, because that's just lazy, Moore-baiting sort of writing.
And to address an earlier concern, wouldn't Rorschach have used his mirror-image 'r' symbol that we saw him use as a calling card in Watchmen? Why the unnecessary change?
I also want to put a bit of a spotlight on Steve Wands's lettering. Wands's work here really impressed me. He seemed to be going out of his way to make the lettering look like Gibbons's lettering from Watchmen.
We haven't seen much of that so far. Kind of like Amanda Conner being the only artist to go for the nine-panel grid. So much effort seems spent on running away from Watchmen and being something DIFFERENT that the few people who are making the effort to be similar stand out — and, oddly, in a good way.
BC: Risso is amazing, but come on, it's Moloch! The only thing that would make it awesome is if it is just filled with dreams, drugs, waking nightmares, alcohol and cock end endless balls.
As for the lettering, I absolutely agree. It made the book striking right out of the gate like we were seeing a deleted scene from Watchmen.
I also agree that it is transformed, but the whole "you're right, your son is dead" stuff made me concerned that we were talking Anatomy Lesson here.
By the way, John Higgins is awesome, but we really did not need basically a recap strip for the back-up. It is two-pages told sequentially! You can't take breaks in the middle of it to recap the story!
CN: It can be Osterman transformed and still have Manhattan say that he's dead. It's not uncommon for change to be equal to death in situations like this.
I can understand Higgins wanting to re-establish what's going on — and to emphasise specific things as he begins writing the feature. Almost a quick boiling down/summing up that lets you know how he sees it and where he might be going from here. It's not amazing, but I understand why he did this and don't think it's that bad of a decision.
Thinking about it, the only real direction this series can go in from this point is full-on crazy alternate reality fan fiction where Manhattan keeps altering things so we can see a variation of Watchmen play out until, at the end, it just means that his consciousness doesn't just move forward and backwards, it moves sideways and nothing ever really changed. Oh wait… that would be kind of dumb. Especially since I just said it. Spoilers?
BC: I don't like it because I think a sequential tale like this has to be written in a way that if you ever did combine it into one big story, it would make sense. This particular story, though, will now have a point where there is a recap/farewell followed directly by a recap/introduction. Any narrative momentum will be dulled.
But yeah, outside of that bad decision, I can't find much fault with what Higgins did. It was a good recap as far as recaps go. And his art was as nice-looking as ever.
And you can't worry about spoiling the rest of Doctor Manhattan when we already spoiled the fact that the Crimson Corsair was going to end with the hero teaming up to fight crime with the ghosts of the young boy and the newsstand dealer whose spirits were blasted through time by the explosion in Watchmen #11. So once we spoiled such a major plot point as that, anything else is fair game! Including the Minutemen finale where Silhouette and Dollar Bill return as Black Lanterns…
CN: I'm still annoyed that we never got Watchmen #13 with Rorschach as a Black Lantern during Blackest Night.
BC: You just know that somewhere at DC someone is kicking themselves right now for not thinking of that idea at the time.
I agree that Wands and Hughes shine here but to mix that with sollipsistic quantmagic garbage is like putting poison on gold. "Anything can be in the box"
Has anyone else noticed that JMS hates hates hates any use of coincidence or random chance to anchor a plot? Spider-Man can't be a random accident, it must be a metaphysical thread of destiny! The Fantastic Four can't be a random accident, it must be an alien trying to communicate with Reed Richards via cosmic ray storms! Even Doctor Manhattan, comics' ultimate determinist, must somehow be the conscious entity influencing his own transformation!
The guy overexplains almost as much as latter-day John Byrne.
I'm wondering if there'll be an extra two pages of Crimson Corsair in the Before Watchmen: Moloch?
I'm just disappointed that for the first time in years (decades?) Adam Hughes is drawing a full length story, not just covers, and it's Before Watchmen. I wish DC had given him a firm deadline for All Star Wonder Woman all those years ago, so we could have gotten that instead of this.
I can't be the only one wishing that we saw the scans of the meeting sequence they talked about — to see the points they were referencing about storytelling and facial expression vs. T&A — instead of more illustration of the unrandom randomness of everything…
Am I?
I think it's also worth pointing out an Easter Egg in the "present unwrapping sequence" above. Panel 3 has a cat as the first choice. This is a surely a reference to Schrodinger's Cat, a major part of the quantum physics "as long as the box is unopened/observer affects the observed" theorems.
Kudos to JMS and Hughes for that little gem.
I only read SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE once (and I barely got through it), but isn't there something in there where Straczynski takes it upon himself to explain *why* Krypton exploded, as if that was something *anybody* needed to know??
Does every appearance of Doctor Manhattan have to include his little blue sidekick Dr Long Island?
Making Osterman detached before his transformation seems to me to undermine the whole idea of how his transformation changed his personality and how he interacted with humans.
I'd seen Dr. Manhattan as what could happen to anyone who underwent such a change, whether they be withdrawn or gregarious. The sheer difference of Dr. Manhattan's state of being gradually alters his personality and perceptions. Osterman's personality might make that path more likely, and shaped certain moments, but wasn't the key factor in the final results.
JMS' idea sounds like he sees it as just the natural evolution of Osterman's original personality. I get the feeling that JMS wouldn't see … hrm … Johnny Storm from the Fantastic Four ending up in a similar state in similar circumstances, where over the decades (though with some different moments in between), I could see such a personality ending up in the same place that Osterman reaches.
man modern superheroes comics are shite. Watchmen included…..
I wouldnt be caught with those rags if they paid me..
"do you think Doctor Manhattan is a transformed Jon Osterman or do you think he is a new being that happens to share Osterman's memories, Anatomy Lesson style?"
I'm not saying he wouldn't try to write that, but it wouldn't make sense. Jon's entire body was disintegrated instantly on a molecular level (or somesuch). As written, his mental energy survives and then he grows himself a new body. How would it make sense for some new being to be formed out of nothing that somehow duplicates the mental energy that just disappeared?
I mean, even by the standards of comic book sciencey gobbledygook, that sounds implausible.
Release the mckracken troll!
Is the title of this story a reference to Seven? Excuse me, Se7en? The nod to Schrodinger's cat seemed a little too on the nose. Not a bad story. Pleasant enough to look at, but I still haven't been pulled out of the big pile of meh BW has turned out to be, per almost everyone's expectations.
And especially what Ben Herman said.
Man, I've been waiting for this one to come out to make my stupid joke about the cover. If you look up "surprise anal" online, that's the kind of image you get.
Yeah, that was my stupid joke, but then I've been reading some DC comics lately that have the cover with the tag line of this issue's title, and it works SOOOO much better to caption that cover "Accidents happen". Like Silk Spectre backed into "Dr Long Island", as Willie so nicely put it. Or Manhattan suddenly walked through those gears and stuff behind him and then "SURPRISE!!!"
Like Joshschr (damn, that's hard to spell, even with looking at it!) says, that Schrodinger's cat reference is WAY too "nudge nudge wink wink". Ugh. I suppose, though, by law, if you reference possibilities and boxes, there has to be a cat in there somewhere.
Seeing all the blue on these pages, and knowing another quantum physics thing involves entanglement, I'm expecting a Dylan ref in the title of one of these issues. And then a disturbing and unnecessary cameo by Hootie and/or the Blowfish. Ain't Bobby so cool?
That is great lettering. I wonder if Wands scanned Gibbons's original lettering and created a font from it?
I really need to reread Watchmen again, because I'm forgetting everything and these reviews of the "changes" in the BW series make me wonder what the precise details were in the original. I would kinda say based on what I remember that Osterman is a detached sort, but maybe it's the detachment of Dr. Manhattan looking back on his life that makes it seem that way.
But did Manhattan really angst over "who am I?" like on the last page shown? I didn't ever get that impression.
Since we're going to see BW:Moloch, I'm hoping that means we'll get even more BW minis and one shots.
We need BW: Newsstand Operator.
BW: Kid reading Pirate Comics
BW: Lesbian Cabbie
BW: Those 2 Guys in the Restaurant (you know which 2)
BW: The people Ozymandias gathers to make the squid
BW: Bubastis
BW: That killer that drives Rorschach over the edge.
BW: the Therapist that works with Rorschach in prison.
BW: Those cops that chase Rorschach
BW: The company that makes those beans that Rorschach eats in the beginning.
BW: The kids that kill the original Nite Owl
All right, I'm out.
Try introducing yourself as "Josh Schroeder". Everyone assumes my last name is Roeder, or I prefer to be called Joshua. You have life so easy.
Also, the way things are going, you just know DC is considering BW: Hooded Justice, BW: Mothman, and BW: The Silhouette . What else are all these writers and artists going to do when the initial series are over otherwise, come up with something new?
you forgot to add *drops mic* at the end of your post.
I will know start referring to the cat in a box thing as Schroeder's cat. Or something.
*taps mic* Is this thing on?
To the reviewer: you clearly missed Osterman peeping the girl's boobs with his zoom-eye-thing. Talk about foreshadowing!
Anyone else wish there could have been a whole column and comments section debating the best storyteller of the T&A artist crowd?

At the moment I have this image:
What I've been asked to do is to give it this effect:
Forget about the background color - notice the reflection of part of the image underneath, still the same color but with an opacity-style effect on it.
I have tried using opacity, and webkit-reflection in CSS3 but have had no luck.
I've now taken that code out as it doesn't work, I'm just left with the original image:
.infrareporting_host_0 {
background: url("../interface/infrareporting/hostLightGreen.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
Please remember:
- I only want exactly what is shown - a lower section of the image reflecting, NOT the whole image reflecting
- How can I fade the opacity of the reflected image ONLY? the normal one I want to stay the same but fade the reflection
- A cross-browser solution is best (atm I can only do it in chrome)
So far my code is reflecting properly in chrome only but opacity is not working correctly. I have this:
-webkit-box-reflect: below -3px -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(transparent), color-stop(.7, transparent), to(white));

FORKLAND, Ala. (AP) - Forkland Mayor Eddie J. Woods has been
jailed for allegedly failing to comply with a Greene County Circuit
Court's orders about the use of gas taxes.
The Tuscaloosa News reports Friday that Woods was taken into
custody Thursday by Greene County Sheriff's deputies.
Greene County Commissioner William Johnson said he expected the
38-year-old to stay jailed until a review of documents by Judge
Eddie Hardaway.
Hardaway ruled on Nov. 6 that the mayor and Forkland had broken
state law by misappropriating earmarked funds from taxes levied on
gasoline purchases.
He ordered that officials in the town of about 630 to hand over
public documents to the commission.
The commission had sued, saying the gasoline tax dollars were
being used for operating costs instead of road development and
maintenance as required.

Soldier character Concepts by DanarArtWatch
©2013-2016 DanarArt
long time since ive done any concept art ,
let me know what you think about it !
let me know what you think about it !
very nice designs man. Only thing I can give as feedback is that the arms might be a tad too short. But for the rest it's great!
Totally cool!
Awesome concept art.
Quite like all of them, though I think the armoured shin plates of the Ghost would be more fitting on the Assault, and the yellow serial number plate on Ghost should be the same blue/grey as the rest of the outfit.
Great stuff Danar! Just noticed the "SEXY" on the assault rifle
I think that ghost is the fattest guy of three, while in my opinion stealth characters rely more on speed and agility, than massed armor. Other than that, great style and great concepts, amazing detail level as well
haha well fat is a wrong word i would say Bulky and i dont think you have to be slim to be able to be a ghost, if you look at guys like jason statham or Rambo or whatevery those guys are also really bulky but still can act like a ghost, its more about being invisible and not phisics, but thanks for taking the time to ask that and i always love to explane the idea of it!

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Friday designated Okinawa Prefecture, within which the U.S. and Japanese governments are trying to relocate a military base, as one of six "strategic special zones" in an attempt to prop up the regional economy.
Abe also chose Tokyo, nearby Kanagawa Prefecture and the city which has Narita airport in Chiba Prefecture as a "broad strategic special zone," where deregulation and tax breaks can be promoted exclusively with the aim of attracting more businesses and investment from home and abroad.
The launch of special economic zones is a centerpiece of Abe's growth strategy designed to invigorate private-sector investment -- the "third arrow" of his "Abenomics" policies, along with aggressive monetary easing by the Bank of Japan and massive fiscal spending.
Okinawa's designation as an international hub of tourism, research and development came as Abe and close ally Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga are eager to move ahead with the contentious relocation of the U.S. Marines' Futenma Air Station from densely populated Ginowan to Nago in the prefecture.
Fukuoka was chosen as a special zone where people can more easily start businesses through employment deregulation and tax breaks.
As a special zone to bolster agriculture, Abe designated Yabu in Hyogo Prefecture and Niigata, a coastal city along the Sea of Japan, which is known for its rice and sake production. Yabu is located in the semi-mountainous region and the city's population is graying.
The government has pledged to implement steps to shore up Japan's declining agriculture sector, such as boosting crop exports and pursuing intensive farming, with an eye on the country's entry into the U.S.-led Trans-Pacific Partnership tariff-cutting pact.
Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo prefectures in the Kansai region of western Japan were also chosen as a broad strategic special zone.
While measures will be taken to invite more foreign companies in the Tokyo metropolitan area, restrictions on hospital bed numbers will be eased to introduce higher quality medical treatment in the Kansai region.
The central government will have talks with local governments and firms to map out concrete plans on how to proceed with projects in each strategic special zone.
During a meeting of a government panel Friday, Abe expressed willingness to possibly designate more areas, including those ravaged by the devastating March 2011 quake-tsunami disaster, as strategic special zones.

A discussion is presented of the development of a low dielectric constant glass-ceramic material system with a thermal expansion coefficient and flexural strength that could be further improved. This system consists of quartz glass, cordierite, and borosilicate glass and features the following advantages. (1) This system can be sintered at below 1000°C, so it is possible to use low electrical resistivity conductors, such as Au, Ag, Ag-Pd, and Cu as signal lines and interconnection. (2) The low dielectric constant can be realized in the 3.9-4.7 range. (3) The thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) can be controlled to match that for the carried chips. (4) The flexural strength (2000 kg/cm2) is relatively high. The green sheet lamination technology was used to develop a low dielectric constant multilayer glass-ceramic substrate with Ag-Pd wiring. This substrate can be used as a high-speed VLSI multichip packaging substrate

|"Batgirl" #1 on sale July 16
âI only knew Batgirl peripherally before I received the âRobinâ assignment and got the directive to use her for my first storyline,â Beechen told CBR News. âResearching the character for that, I quickly became a fan. Cassandraâs great. Thereâs so much conflict in her basic character because of how she was raised. Sheâs a classic case of ânature versus nurture,â and that battle plays out in everything she does -- everything. The only thing that comes easy to her is kicking butt and she even wrestles internally with that.â
Cassandra, introduced in âBatmanâ #567 in 1999, is the daughter of villains David Cain and Lady Shiva -- both affiliated with the League of Assassins. In âRobinâ arc "Wanted" written by Beechen in 2006, Cassandra became the leader of the League of Assassins after being drugged by Deathstroke, and eventually killed her own father.
Cassandraâs fall from grace was not popular with some fans of the character, but Beechen stands by the chapter in Cassandraâs life that he wrote. âI have to. Itâs in print, itâs out there, part of the DC continuity,â he offered. âJust like Cassandra, I accept responsibility for whatâs happened in the past. Her story made sense to me at the time, but if it didnât to some readers, thatâs on me. What I want to do now is untangle everything thatâs gone before, and lay it out in such a way that readers whoâve been following Batgirl these last few years say, âOkay, that tracks now. I get it,â while new readers are able to follow it immediately.
|The new "Batgirl" miniseries reconciles events from Beechen's "Robin: Wanted" and "Teen Titans: Titans East"
âAll, of course, while telling a new, kick-ass story that gives Batgirl purpose and direction for the future. Will the result make everyone happy? If Iâve learned anything from my experience writing comics, so far, probably not but no one likes every story no matter how hard you try, and Iâm sure some fans will find fault with what weâre trying to do. Or be unable to forgive what went before.
âBut my main goal is to tell as strong and exciting a story as possible in a way that really lets the character shine, and leaves her in a place different from where she started. Cassandra and I have come a long way together. I want to do right by her.â
To set up the new miniseries, Beechen said, âAfter years of turmoil and confusion, after murders committed and allegiances betrayed, Batgirl is back on the side of good with a clean slate, although some members of the Bat-Family are skeptical of her stability. And maybe theyâve got good reason, because Batgirl has a secret agenda. For her, the slateâs not clean, and it wonât be until she extracts a very personal revenge from the two men who turned her into an outlaw: Deathstroke and David Cain, her father. Sheâs out to foil their plan to create a murder agency to rival the League of Assassins -- and to end their villainy forever.â
|Much of the previous "Batgirl" ongoing is available in trade paperback
Once Beechen landed the writing assignment, his first step was actually charting the aforementioned âturmoil and confusionâ and developing a method to its madness.âThe first thing I did was make a list of everything, from Cassandraâs improved speech to her joining [Deathstrokeâs] âTitans East,â that seemed to puzzle readers,â Beechen explained. âThen I took that list to my editor, Mike Marts, along with an idea of a realistic context that ties everything together and makes sense. It was a giant game of connect-the-dots. And we were able to do it in such a way that doesnât dismiss anything readers have seen. Cassandra killed. Cassandra teamed with [Deathstroke]. It wasnât a dream or an imaginary story. Weâre not washing anything away.
âIn this miniseries, Cassandraâs taking responsibility for everything she did, even though she wasnât in full control of her actions, and sheâs seeking vengeance on the men who made her do what she did. She doesnât pretend thatâll free her from the guilt she feels now that sheâs âherselfâ again, but itâs a start. Thatâs what this miniseries is for her, a new start. Itâs her first steps down her personal Redemption Road.â
Beechen added, âAnd in some ways, this is my âRedemption Road,â too.â
|Much of the previous "Batgirl" ongoing is available in trade paperback
Despite the fine-tuning of Cassandraâs history, Beechen said new readers can easily jump onto the series without knowing her past, but added her past is certainly worth exploring too. âWeâre setting the character up pretty efficiently in the first issue of the miniseries, hopefully in such a way that new readers will be able to jump right in. And be interested enough to go back and learn the details of Cassandraâs past.â
âBatgirlâ does not crossover with any of the other Bat-books, although, said Beechen, âThe writers of the other Bat-titles and âOutsidersâ know what weâre doing, so weâve been pretty careful not to conflict.â
And that includes âBatman R.I.P.â Beechen wouldnât rule out that Cassandra is a candidate to replace Bruce Wayne as the Dark Knight. âYou never know where the âRedemption Roadâ will lead,â he quipped.
âBatgirlâ readers can expect lots of cameos and guest appearances from the extended Batman family. âThey start about eight pages into the first issue.â
While no plans are in place, Beechen hopes this miniseries is viewed as a test run for a monthly ongoing. âBatgirlâs an important part of the fabric of the DC Universe, and she deserves her own title,â he said. âAnd Iâd love to write it. The end of the series opens up tons of story opportunities for the character that Iâd love to pursue.â
|Much of the previous "Batgirl" ongoing is available in trade paperback
The âBatgirlâ miniseries, with a tentative subtitle of âRedemption Road,â features art by Jim Calafiore with inks by Jonathon Glapion. âIâve seen the first few pages, and the cover to the first issue by Andy Clarke, and it all looks unbelievable,â the writer remarked.
Beechen is keeping busy with not only comic writing but television work too. âIâm cranking through a creator-owned miniseries for Wildstorm right now. Iâve got a new graphic novel coming out in July from AiT/PlanetLar, the same folks who published âHenchâ for me a few years ago. Iâve got a bunch of pitches with DC right now that Iâm waiting on pins and needles to hear back about. And Iâm story-editing a new âPink Pantherâ animated series, which is a gas,â said Beechen.
âBatgirlâ #1 is scheduled for release July 16.
Now discuss this story in CBRâs Batman forum.

U.K. Economy Shrinks 0.5%, Less Than Previously Estimated
Britain's economy shrank less than previously estimated in the fourth quarter as services and factory output was revised higher.
Gross domestic product fell 0.5 percent from the previous three months, the Office for National Statistics said today in London. That compares with an earlier estimate of 0.6 percent, which was also the median forecast of 24 economists in a Bloomberg News survey. Excluding the impact of the coldest December in a century, growth was "broadly flat," the statistics office said.
The Bank of England is holding off raising interest rates to support a faltering recovery even after inflation accelerated to the fastest pace in more than two years. The Office for Budget Responsibility last week cut its forecast for 2011 economic growth to 1.7 percent from 2.1 percent, while central bank policy makers saw "merit in waiting" to assess the impact of rising oil prices and the budget squeeze on the economy.
"Consumer spending is going to struggle this year and that's going to set the overall tone for growth, which is going to be pretty sluggish," said Alan Clarke, an economist at BNP Paribas SA in London. "It's an incredibly close call for the BOE. Inflation is running at double what household incomes are going up by."
The pound remained higher against the dollar after the report and traded at $1.6018 as of 10:55 a.m. in London, up 0.2 percent on the day. Bonds were little changed, with the yield on the 10-year gilt at 3.6 percent.
Mortgage Approvals
In a separate release, the Bank of England said U.K. mortgage approvals rose to 46,967 in February, the highest level since November, from 46,152 in January. Economists forecast 46,000, based on the median forecast of 15 estimates in Bloomberg News survey.
The GDP report showed investment fell 1.8 percent in the fourth quarter, less than the 2.5 percent initially estimated. Production output growth was revised to 0.8 percent from 0.7 percent, while the decline in services was revised to 0.6 percent from 0.7 percent. Government spending rose 0.4 percent in the fourth quarter, exports increased 1.7 percent, while imports jumped 3.2 percent, the most in a year.
Consumer spending fell 0.3 percent in the fourth quarter from the previous three months, when it stagnated. Thomas Cook Group Plc, Europe's second-biggest tour operator, said it has seen "a weaker picture in the U.K., where recent trading has also been affected by fragile consumer sentiment."
Current Account
The ONS also reported today that business investment was unchanged in the fourth quarter from the previous three months, and was up 12.2 percent on the year.
The current account deficit widened to 10.5 billion pounds ($16.8 billion) from 8.7 billion pounds in the previous three months. As a percentage of GDP, the deficit was 2.9 percent. The deficit on trade in goods was 26.8 billion pounds in the fourth quarter, the largest since quarterly records began in 1955. The deficit on current transfers was also at a record in the quarter, at 6.1 billion pounds.
As the government cuts spending to reduce the budget deficit and soaring oil prices squeeze households' incomes, the Bank of England kept its benchmark interest rate at a record-low 0.5 percent this month.
Deputy Governor Charles Bean said in an interview with the London-based Times newspaper this month that he favors delaying rate increases while the recovery remains fragile. Business Secretary Vince Cable said yesterday the Bank of England's loose monetary policy has been "very helpful to the government."
Government Borrowing
The surge in commodity costs has also hit companies' profits. Severfield-Rowen Plc, a U.K. supplier of structural steelwork, said March 22 that profit plunged 76 percent last year as the government fiscal squeeze and rising steel prices hurt demand.
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said in his annual budget last week that the U.K. will need to borrow more than previously thought over the next five years. He maintained plans to eliminate the bulk of the deficit by 2015. Osborne also cut fuel duty and lowered the income-tax bill for most Britons to alleviate the squeeze on living standards. Inflation accelerated to 4.4 percent in February while a gauge of consumer confidence fell to a record low.
"This upward revision to growth continues to show the manufacturing sector performing well, which, supported by the actions announced in the budget and the 'Plan for Growth,' will help promote a rebalancing of the economy," the U.K. Treasury said today.
Ross Walker, an economist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, said the fourth-quarter data leaves "the big picture essentially unaltered."
It's a "a sluggish, sub-trend recovery," he said.

If an RNA-only world preceded more complex forms oflife, then it is essential that the process wherebythe first nucleotides were made be considered. Presumably there were no enzymes and no templates tofacilitate the synthesis of the first nucleotides soanother form of chemical evolution must have beeninvolved. Answers to problems of this sort weresought vigorously in the 1960s and the early 1970s butmany issues were left unresolved. Progress made inthe last few years has added to this early work andbrings us closer to a satisfactory solution. In thisarticle key results, old and new, and some ideas as tohow further progress is likely to be made are discussed.There are reasons for optimism. Substantial progresshas been made on the synthesis of purines and ribose,phosphorylation and polyphosphorylation. Theoutstanding problems at this juncture relate to thesynthesis of ribose to the exclusion of the otheraldopentoses and to the problem of linking ribose tothe purine bases.

May 15, 2012
Time Magazine has caused a stir with a rather risque' picture of a pretty model breastfeeding her three year old son, and the internet has been abuzz with commentary, much of it directed at the picture - and its appropriateness - itself. What has been missing is a discussion of the actual article the picture was intended to promote, and why Time felt it worthy of devoting the cover to an article about extended breastfeeding. One must ask; is there more to this than meets the eye?
Unquestionably. This is the tip of the iceberg.
The Time article was devoted to the theories of Dr. Bill Sears, who advocates something called "attachment parenting" http://www.askdrsears.com/topics/attachment-parenting/what-ap-7-baby-bs
Sears believes that children are encouraged to be independent too early and too much, and that mothers should wrap their little ones in a cocoon of motherly love. Now, there is nothing wrong with showing love to your child, but one must ask where the line should be drawn. Adolf Hitler, for example, was extremely close with his mother and look how he turned out. At any rate, one wonders exactly how a society of children so smothered by parental care will fare upon adulthood; will the children learn independence and self-reliance as American children have traditionally done, or will they move from breastfeeding on their mothers to breastfeeding on Uncle Sam? It seems to me that "attachment parenting" is going to make a bunch of permanent children to replenish the dependent classes.
Be that as it may, the question arises; why did Time run this article on the front cover, and why now?
This is an issue that has been quietly gaining momentum.
The U.S. Surgeon General supports breastfeeding http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2011pres/08/20110801e.html, and even extended (over one year) breastfeeding. So does the World Health Organization http://www.who.int/nutrition/topics/exclusive_breastfeeding/en/, so does Michelle Obama. In fact, the IRS is offering tax breaks to encourage nursing. http://www.politicsdaily.com/2011/02/14/michelle-obama-to-promote-breast-feeding-as-irs-gives-tax-breaks/
And the city of Seattle has declared breastfeeding a civil right.
According to an AP article, the Surgeon General issued goals that fully 25% of all babies be breast fed by 2020.
And the Affordable Healthcare Act (aka Obamacare) requires employers to provide for nursing workers. http://blogs.findlaw.com/law_and_life/2011/02/new-breastfeeding-law-to-help-working-moms.html
There is the key.
The new federal regulations will force employers to give mothers time off during the workday to nurse their children (unpaid at present, but that will be subject to change) But what value is time to nurse if the child is not available? This ultimately requires employer-provided daycare to exercise this new "right". It fundamentally redefines the relationship between employer, employee, and the government. It puts the grubby paws of the regulators that much deeper into the economy. And it creates a new right where one did not exist. How long before this right metastasizes into a right to free daycare, or free healthcare for the children, or the right to other special privileges?
Meanwhile, the father's role is diminished even more as mom drags her children to work every day.
There are other nice benefits to this from the Progressive standpoint. For instance, the Left has always hated the cow http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/01/wheres_the_beef.html, which they see as the embodiement of American excess. They hate it for it's Global Warming-causing flatulence, for the damage it does to creeks and streams, for the four pounds of grain it eats to produce one pound of meat. They would love to be rid of the stinky animals, but the cow produces milk. Extended breast feeding would greatly reduce the demand for cows milk, and perhaps push some dairy farmers to sell their land to some Soros-owned investment corporation or forfeit it to the government. The Administration has been quietly waging a war on cows milk, classifying milk as a form of oil http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/28881 thus forcing dairy farmers to keep expensive "toxic spill" equipment on hand lest they spill a milk jug, and raiding "raw" milk farms. And milk, once the hallmark of America's bounty, will become less profitable as sales decrease. Oh, and America will become more like the Third World where mothers breastfeed for long periods of time because they have to.
There are several organizations dedicated to promoting extended breastfeeding and the like. La Leche, for instance. I found a group called the Lactavists, too.
Let's not forget this continues the feminization of America, what Rush Limbaugh calls the "chickafication" of our society.
But again, why now? Well...
There is a real chance Obamacare will be found unconsitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court, and if that law is struck down so too will the breastfeeding requirements. Obama can start campaigning for stand-alone legislation imposing these regulations on businesses, and the GOP will be forced to oppose him. He and his lackeys in the media will then have the perfect souondbytes for the "war on women" shibboleth they have been fashioning; the GOP and that evil Mitt Romney hate women, children, and despise motherhood. And they will walk right into this trap, as they always manage to do.
Progressives do not do things Off the cuff, and their stated motives are never their true motives. This is particularly true of this Administration. We would be wise to seek out the real purposes behind Time Magazine's cover article, and to understand that this is the beginning of a campaign to create a new right. A right imposes no obligation on others to exercise, yet the Progressives have turned the concept on its head. Consider Barack Obama's lament that the Constitution does not offer "positive rights" delineating what government must do for the citizenry; he shows that he thinks rights obligate others. He would undoubtedly see breast feeding as a right, and demand that businesses and society at large reorganize itself to promote the wishes of a minority of women. and with the media's help he will manage to convince many Americans that this is so.
Thus begins a titanic struggle. We need to get out in front on this.
(Thanks to Jack Kemp for telling me about La Leche.)

Nothing at all wrong with the way he turned out!
Posted by: Dana Mathewson at May 15, 2012 02:40 PM (S9A1a)
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being close with your parents, Dana; I'm not arguing that at all. I merely used the Hitler business to say that having a smothering relationship with your mother is not necessarily good - which is what that Dr. Sears advocates (sleeping in the same bed, breastfeeding until either the child or mother hits menapause, etc.) I'm also not against breastfeeding in the least. I just think there is a movement afoot among the moonbeam Left to push it, and for ulterior purposes.
Breastfeeding of babies is probably better than bottle feeding, in fact. I just think the kid should quit before he can legally go to a bar.
Posted by: Timothy Birdnow at May 15, 2012 03:50 PM (e6n2C)
Actually, I think he should probably quit about when the first front teeth appear -- for the mother's health and comfort.
Yes, Tim, I know you weren't arguing against being close to your parents in a normal sense. I guess I just wanted to get in a plug for Duke Ellington -- whose music Hitler would have hated as "decadent," in any case.

Yeah; Hitler would have hated the Duke.

School choice: an experimental study
We present an experimental study of three school choice mechanisms. The Boston mechanism is influential in practice, while the two alternative mechanisms, the Gale-Shapley and Top Trading Cycles mechanisms, have superior theoretical properties in terms of incentives and efficiency. Consistent with theory, this study indicates a high preference manipulation rate under the Boston mechanism. As a result, efficiency under Boston is significantly lower than that of the two competing mechanisms in the designed environment. However, contrary to theory, Gale-Shapley outperforms the Top Trading Cycles mechanism and generates the highest efficiency. Our results suggest that replacing the Boston mechanism with either Gale-Shapley or Top Trading Cycles mechanism might significantly improve efficiency, however, the efficiency gains are likely to be more profound when parents are educated about the incentive compatibility of these mechanisms.

I bought this after researching Consumer Reports to find a quality french door fridge with the most space possible. I required white also, so that narrowed things down. I didn't want a water dispenser because they increase the repair rate and I wouldn't use it anyway. This model met all the criteria. I love the space. The difference between it and my old fridge allows me to store an additional ~24ish bottles of water/soda in the fridge area and probably another 2 quarts of ice cream + a few extra bags of tater tots, etc., in the freezer. Much more comfortable spacing on the door shelves too. Also like the gradual light when I open the doors, it's like heaven! There is a wide fridge drawer that can fit a sheet cake or other wide items, very nice feature! And, there's an alarm that alerts when the doors are open--that's helped me out lots of times already! So far, my only complaint would be the fridge arrived with nicks on 3 corners (was it well-protected in shipment or was it the Lowes installers?) and it hums a lot and fairly loud...to the point that I've been worried something is wrong with it. Then it will kick off and sound like nothing is happening at all and I worry it's kicked the bucket! So far, can't find any FAQs on the website that directly speak to it. I'd recommend this on the extra space alone.

I'm not sure you want to hear from me. I have dreamed and visited my "dream frig" ever since French doors came out. To be honest, Frigidaire was not the particular brand. During the dream period ANY one would do, that DID NOT have all that stuff in the door. Didn't want it or need it. We have a free standing ice maker. Finally our frig died an un-natural death. I went to HH Gregg that Sunday afternoon. Miracle of all miracles my 'dream frig" was on sale, the exact size I wanted, the plain doors, everything exactly like I wanted. A couple of weeks after it was up and going, noticed icicles in the freezer right where to two top door came together. Finally after being passed around several times, I contacted Frigidaire and was given the names of 3 repairman in our area. The first two we could not get to return our call. The 3rd finally did. He showed up, and disagreed with my husband that the door was warped and ordered a replacement seal. Weeks later it finally came, he installed it. Then a couple of weeks after that my husband opened the freezer compartment and a sheet of ice dropped to the floor. the whole underside of the freezer has a sheet of ice on it. Called the guy back out, "Well I guess you were right." Ordered another drawer. A month or so later it finally arrived, but then he was sick for a week. When he finally showed up with it and opened the box, it too was bent. So back it went, and it's now been close to a month and still no drawer. But I do have a sheet of ice under my "dream refrigerator". You asked. I'm not happy. And am not sure I will be if and when it is fixed.

Looks Nice but....
By mmckane

Comments about Frigidaire FPHN2899 Stainless Steel 27.8 Cu. Ft. French Door Bottom Freezer Refrigerator:
We've had this refrigerator for a year. The doors can look like they are shut but remain open...there is no alarm to alert you to this fact. The freezer is the same...may look closed but has not shut completely. Make certain that you double check before you leave the kitchen. The ice maker is noisy, slow, and doesn't produce much ice. For our family, the interior refrigerator space is small. Not happy with this refrigerator at all.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

We bought our fridge less than 3 years ago. Have had the entire computer board replaced and now the ice maker needs to be replaced. It has a short in it. Never again would I buy a frigidaire
By Lulu74
from West Hills, Ca
I purchased this refrigerator almost 4 years ago and have already had it services twice last summer. It's having the same problem all over again we are now shopping for a new fridge. Never again will we purchase any frigidaire appliances nor will I recommend them to anyone.
Tons of space!
By Paula70
from Ava, MO, United States
We bought this a few months ago and we absolutely love it! It is very spacious and the lighting is wonderful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
A Great, fridge for the price!

Well done Frigidaire! A good looking fridge which does everything well!
So big!!!
By Dana12
from Brooklyn, NY, United States
I love this fridge. It is so nice and roomy. Keeps everything nice and cold. I really like the design. Easy to keep clean because the fridge part is all on top and easier to see and clean. The only challenge is my toddler keeps opening the freezer drawer to get to the ice cream :)
Water line freezes without continuous use..
By FranklinTheTurtle
from Winterset, IA, United States
Bought this model 2.5 years ago... No Problems first two years... Since then water line freezes and no water at the door and no ice production. Just had service out, and they said a non-repairable manufacture defect is causing the issue. The insulation in the back slowly collects condensation, and eventually becomes saturated enough where it causes a cold spot, that freezes the water line that passes through it. Said there is nothing that can be done, really? 2.5 years old and no ability to get filtered water or ice from the dispenser? very disappointing.
noisy and now has moisture problems
By Roli
from Missouri, United States
We bought about 2 years ago and it has always been noisy. It moans and groans all the time. Now moisture is collecting on the inside and outside of refrigerator. Very disappointed in this appliance!
Great looking, efficient and quiet
By JohnBev
from Rochester, NY, United States
We have had this 2 months in our office and it is huge - 8 of us share this for lunches and snacks and there is loads of room. Ice maker is quick. I wish the bottom left drawer did not require both doors open to slide open, the right drawer is the right size.
Several problems through years
By Finke
from Cincinnati, OH, United States
Our refrigerator finally bit the dust after about 6 1/2 years. We loved this model originally. However, we've had several problems through the years. First the plastic strip came off in between the doors after about 3 months so we didn't have a good seal the entire time we owned it. The bottem drawer handle was very loose. We tried several times to tighten the handle but I think it was supposed to be loose? After owning the refrigerator we had an issue with the water line in the back. There was a slow drip and it took a repair person several times to fix it. he couldn't figure out where it was coming from. This ruined our hard wood floors becuase there was a constant water drip. This weekend we noticed the refrigerator was not staying cold. The freezer was fine but we couldn't figure out why the tempature was not staying cool. A repair person came today and showed us where the lights had burned holes in the plastic. This resulted in cracks and lost cooling. We are hanging it up and looking for a new refriugerator. I don't think we will buy another Frigidaire.

At FSU it is an amazing environment to learn actuarial science because there are always people who are there to help, whether it be graduate students or advisers. There is someone almost any time of day who will help you!
Campus Quality:
FSU's campus is my home. After two years here I can't imagine going anywhere else. The people are nice, and the campus always has something going one. The SLC has a state of the art movie theater that hosts events and the greens also have carnivals and other things going on weekly.
Campus Quality:
The FSU circus is one thing that sets us apart! We our one of the few to offer this amazing opportunity for performers and it's a great way to get out with friends since students get in for free.
Campus Housing:
Great your first year or two! Great way to meet people and to stay connected to the goings on on campus! Such as the SLC and what not.
I have never had a major issue with financial aid. I did have a small problem with them earlier this summer but it was quickly resolved.
Off-Campus Housing:
There are a lot of places you can live off campus and still walk to school. Tally itself isn't safe, but the campus area is. People pay anywhere from $350 a month to share a quad in an older building, to $700 a month in the new town houses. Parking will kill you.
Guys & Girls:
Everyone at FSU is really chill. There is a place for the preppy greek life enthusiasts. There is a place for athletes, and a place for artsy kids. There is a high energy club scene and relaxed bars with live music. Walking around, you will mostly see flip-flops, shorts, and yoga pants. Totes are for girls, backpacks for boys. There is also the most annoying accessory, the hipster bike you ride to class.
I have not entered any internships, and I do not plan to enter one. I am not able to rate any Majors at FSU due to the fact that I am starting next semester.
Drug Safety:
Alcohol and drug use ON campus is only visible on game days from the tailgaters, but the police checks everyone's IDs to make sure they are of age. However, OFF campus is a different story. Alcohol is at nearly every party. As for drugs, I have no idea. I do not hang out with coke heads.
They build a lot of dorms, yet don't add parking
I have not witnessed a student being pulled over for speeding, then again there are not many roads throughout campus, but the school is strict on alcohol possesion and consumption and an absolute zero tolerance with drugs.
Party Scene:
The night life is fun, there are many frat parties all the time, ESPECIALLY during football season. Game day is always crazy and a blast starting at 8AM, till the early hours of the morning. There are a bunch of bars and clubs around campus. The clubs around campus are kind of sketchy but the bars are always a blast.
Campus Housing:
There is a lot of variety in the campus housing at FSU. Much of where you are placed is stringent upon what number your application is for housing. There are more suite style dorms on the newer side of campus and more community and older dorms on the other side. Some of the dorms, mostly the suite style, require you to purchase a meal plan which can be an added expense. Although the community style dorms are much older and can be a hassle, in my experience you meet and end up building relationships with those down your hall.
Off-Campus Housing:
There are a lot of options for off campus housing, especially ones that are close to campus. The only downside being the ones that are closer to campus are more expensive. The university bus system also has many routes that go right by or near many of the apartment complexes.
The Academics vary. I have some professors who are really good about teaching and testing on the material taught, whereas there are some professors that I still can't figure out where they pull their material from. And the grading is usually pretty fair except I did have a class this year where I had A's in mostly everything during the year but got a C on one of the three tests and even though I made a 100% on the final, I still got a B in the class. That just shows how important each test is!
The bus system is very convenient going around campus and to the grocery store, but the parking for students can be quite troublesome in reference to finding a spot to park.
Campus Housing:
There are alot of campus housing at Florida State University. Definately apply early for housing so you can get first dibs on where to live. Some of the housing offered are not the best and personally, I have never lived in a dorm. You can find an apartment within walking distance for the same price. Even though, it is an experience, its a personal preference and very convenient since you are already on campus. Do research beforehand on which dorms are the best and worst, dont just go by the style.
The classes at florida state are all exceptional, aside from a small amount of professors who have unintelligible accents, the staff is easily understandable and easily approachable.
Off-Campus Housing:
There are many different options for off-campus housing and can accommodate a wide range of budgets and preferences.
As long as you do not do anything obviously illegal, you will not get in trouble. Law enforcement is the same as it would be in any other community.
Party Scene:
Clubs and bars almost always offer deals for drinks and cover on the weekend. Some are walking distance around town or to the dorms on campus. If you live further you can call a cab, certain companies offer a discount if you're an FSU student.
Parking tickets are now $30 and FSU parking services are always giving out tickets for illegally parked cars, however if there were more spaces then this would not be a big problem. Most people do have cars however freshman should not really bring their cars because there is limited parking for all. The parking garages fill up very quickly so you must allow ample time to park and then get to class on time.
Campus Food:
Regarding the dining halls, there is never much variation to the food and I wish there was.I do get fed up with the food that is offered there on a regular basis. I enjoy Chilis and Einstein Bagels the best because they are both very accessible and are fun to be at with friends.
The buses are very useful and convenient however more buses run around one way of campus than in the opposite direction so they should make the buses run in both directions coming every 10 minutes to each stop. The buses start early in the day and end late at night which is good. The Night Nole is great late in the evenings when you want to go out or get home from a bar or something.
I'm currently apart of the Exploratory major. I have come to really enjoy this option because as a graduating senior going into college, it was really scary not knowing what I wanted to study. The thought of all the options and opportunities for majors really freaked me out. Through the excellent Exploratory program at FSU, I was able to narrow down my options and learn more about myself and who I want to be. I have also learned that I do not have to settle on one track in my life. My exploratory advisor has been extremly helpful in guiding my towards my major by showing me how to research majors and make a decision. By the end of Spring I should know what major I really want to embarq on during my time at college. Due to coming in to my freshman year of college as an Exploratory major, I have learned more about myself, and I am confident that the decision I will make for my actual major will be perfect for who I am. I encourage anyone who is unsure of what major to pick or what they want to study to become an Exploratory major. The advisors in this department are really nice and genuinely care about helping their students find the perfect major. Being an Exploratory major will not hold you back in any way because you take classes that are required while figuring out what interests you. The Exploratory major is really close nit and have programs to help their students, such as Pizza and a major where they bring in pizza and talk about how to find the major for you. Most of it is figuring out who you are as a person, what your values, interests, and goals are in life. The Exploratory advisors then help you match those with a major that fits you best. Anyone who starts off as and Exploratory student will still have the same opportunities for internships and jobs in the future as anyone else. I highly recommend being an Exploratory major if you are still undecisive as you go into college.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
You would be hard-pressed to find a graduate of Florida State University who doesn't have fond memories of the years they spent on campus. Current students will also agree that they are happy with their decision to attend school here. There is something for everyone, from athletics to academia, and you would have a hard time finding a more comfortable setting than Tallahassee. It has so much to offer, from exciting nightlife to beautiful weather.
Although it bears the reputation of a party school, FSU also has a growing reputation for turning out some of the best and brightest graduates in the entire nation. The school is now turning its focus on research, which should appeal to those interested in science and mathematics. But never fear, FSU also emphasizes the arts through their award-winning film and theater departments. From math and science, to the arts, FSU offers a vast array of eclectic degrees, which will be nothing but helpful later in your life. Choosing which college to attend is not an easy decision, but if you're looking for the perfect combination of a good education and a good time, you can't do much better than Florida State University.

Refund: I work from home doing eyelashes extensions
I am not sure if i posted it in the right thing, but so I work from home doing eyelashes extensions. People come into my house and pay 30 euro to get them done on my facebook page i have notes about information about them, and also on general page i say they last UP TO two months.
This girl made an appointment before and come, closed it an hour before the appointment, then she made it again, i done her eyelashes she paid me, after around month she mailed me if she can get them refilled (on friday) i said yes thats ok i will take you on wednesday, and refills are free. Next thing on (monday) she mailed me saying: I have taken my eyelshes of by oil, i lost alot of mine own, and i want the refund the eyelashes didnt least for two months. But she had them worn for about a month also i gave her posibility to gettin them filled in for free. She pulled them off by taking them of and blamed me, now said she wants the refund because she is entitle to one, but isnt it her misreading the information? Also she said if i dont give her refund she will go with it to small court. What will i do? Should i give her refund?
Re: Refund: I work from home doing eyelashes extensions
I wish to inform you that you may not be liable to refund. In this regard you can inform your client that you have performed all your functions as per contract and with proper care. You may be liable for refund if you had not performed your functions or not take care. In this regard as you were not negligent nor you have breached the contract you cannot be held liable. You may inform other party in writing that you are not at fault in writing so that you can have evidence in court to show that suit is frivolous.
Re: Refund: I work from home doing eyelashes extensions
Plus if she didnt attempt to an appointment should legally pay me even if she didnt come?
Thanks for the help
Re: Refund: I work from home doing eyelashes extensions
She took them off, they did not fall off. Let her sue. The judge might be amused. But I doubt he (or she) would rule in her favor.
Re: Refund: I work from home doing eyelashes extensions
You have already done your part and after a couple of days she would say that she wants a refund from you? Oh! That's horrible!
Re: Refund: I work from home doing eyelashes extensions
There is no neglect in your part considering that you made all the limitations and guidelines about the service your are rendering. I do suggest though that next time, you can opt to have your customers read a printed disclaimer instead of just referencing it to your Facebook page.

Video Citizen Drunky Pants
My friend Brandon has a cat whose visage is disarmingly similar to that of the late Orson Welles. For reals:
Recently while visiting his cat, I was lovingly mocking the creature (as everyone who encounters it must do), asking him whether he would indeed "sell no wine before its time." This juvenile taunt sent Brandon straight for Youtube, where he shared this delightful/disturbing clip of a visibly drunken Welles attempting to hock Paul Masson champagne. Enjoy:
