Balls Out
If you were going to let some guy cut your balls off because castration turned you on, wouldn't you want the guy to be just a little bit hotter than Master Rick?
Here's a little detail from the latest reports about the North Carolina castrators that's going to give me screaming nightmares:
Officers confiscated a video camera apparently used to record the procedures, as well as scores of CDs and computer files. They also seized a Tupperware container from the kitchen freezer holding what appeared to be human testicles.
Hmm… the North Carolina Castrators? Sounds like a good name for a pro-sports team. Maybe if the Sonics move to North Carolina they could change their names to the Castrators?

Is there some sort of 'if has paginated comments' function or workaround I can use that will only display the div if the post has enough comments to paginate?

A former BP engineer appeared in federal court Tuesday chained at the wrist and ankles to face criminal charges that he intentionally deleted hundreds of text messages about the amount of oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico from the company's blown-out well in 2010. Kurt Mix, 50, of Katy, Texas, was charged with two counts of obstruction of justice and faces 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count.

Arts Documentary Video & Rachel Corrie
posted by March 29 at 13:12 PMon
If you haven't read Brendan's smart review of My Name is Rachel Corrie at the Rep, do.
Few Seattle theater productions ever become a common point of reference for people outside the theater scene, but I think Rachel Corrie has the potential to do so. And it should. What struck me over and over again about the play was how local Corrie's writings were. People say that her diaries weren't written for publication, but I think that's at least half wrong. Everyone who keeps a private journal has some consciousness of a future audience, whether you're aiming at your older self or fantasizing a public ravenous for your juvenilia. Corrie didn't seem to imagine the entire world as her audience, I think—it was more like her friends and neighbors, her insistently local "community." (And of course, her letters home are aimed at a specific audience, also with common points of reference.)
It's far easier to understand My Name is Rachel Corrie if you recognize Corrie as a specific type—not a generic patchouli hippie activist, but an Evergreen student, and an Olympia kid. Not a flower child, a flower-bed child. A cultivated specimen. Evergreen as a school for crafty rebels who really just want to camp out forever in their parents' backyards. A school that emphasizes experiential learning over—yes, at the expense of—critical thinking. (A friend of mine earned at least as many credits welding metal as she did reading books.) As played by Marya Sea Kaminski, Rachel Corrie seems almost identical to another friend I had growing up in North Seattle—who alternately aggravated and stimulated me in the exact same way. Even the declamatory style Kaminski uses (probably overuses) in the first half struck me as powerfully familiar. (That said, Kaminski, native Washingtonians say "too-wer" for tour, not "torr.")
But what I really want to talk about is the video of Corrie as a 10-year-old kid, speaking clearly and precociously about her goal to end hunger by the year 2000, which closes the play.
I'm here for other children.
I'm here because I care.
I'm here because children everywhere are suffering and because forty thousand people die each day from hunger.
I'm here because these people are mostly children.
We have got to understand that the poor are all around us and we are ignoring them.
We have got to understand that these deaths are preventable.
We have got to understand that people in Third World countries think and care and smile and cry just like us.
We have got to understand that they dream our dreams and we dream theirs.
We have got to understand that they are us. We are them.
My dream is to stop hunger by the year 2000.
My dream is to give the poor a chance.
My dream is to save the forty thousand people who die each day.
My dream can and will come true if we all look into the future and see the light that shines there.
If we ignore hunger, that light will go out.
If we all help and work together, it will burn free with the potential of tomorrow.
It's a really, really interesting choice, and without it, the play would be far more curt and aggressive—it would look more like the agitprop its detractors describe. The video raises innumerable questions, and I still don't think I have a handle on all the possible directions it takes the audience.
1) Are we supposed to freeze Corrie in our minds as a 10-year-old kid, her ideology forever immature and fantastical?
2) Further, does this sort of thing contribute to the condescension we enlightened viewers employ when talking about Corrie—a "girl," not a woman; a fragile blond naïf who let herself be used by those with more sophisticated political agendas; a randomly oriented radical who could just as easily have been protesting the G-8 or chaining herself to redwoods.
3) Why do we teach kids to be so stupid? Corrie obviously didn't grab that kind of language out the ether—it's the kind of artless useless optimism we DEMAND from children.
4) Was Corrie in a gifted program? She probably needed to be around smarter kids so she wasn't constantly talking up to cooing adults.
5) Or alternately, are we supposed to regret the direction her life took? Are we supposed to see this 10-year-old as a pure little potential genie, who just should have been unbottled somewhere on the East Coast, who should have gone on to the Peace Corps or some sexless NGO that really aimed to facilitate food distribution and stop hunger?
But the video just sits there. It's a little pile of recorded "objectivity" at the end of a play that otherwise ventriloquizes Corrie's own words and opinions. It argues with her older self, I'm sure. I'm just not certain what point it's making.

Director Katie Mitchell Goes on Mad Journeys
The English theater director talks to The Wall Street Journal Europe about how she starts her weekend.
Katie Mitchell's adaptations of classic works tend to trigger strong responses from the public—theatergoers either like them or hate them. Her work as a director includes "After Dido" at the Young Vic in 2009 and "Wastwater" at the Royal Court Theatre last year. In 2009, she was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire, an honor she earned for her services to drama in the U.K.
Her latest project is "The Trial of Ubu," a new satirical comedy written by Simon Stephens. The play, which is a critique of the international justice system, focuses on the trial of monarch Ubu—the central character of Alfred Jarry's 19th-century play "Ubu Roi"—charged with crimes against humanity in front of an international war tribunal.
"Any system that is trying to administrate justice to people convicted of large-scale criminal acts is enormously complicated," Ms. Mitchell says. "The subject is tricky to animate for audiences in a live performance. But Simon's fantastic surreal combination of naturalistic courtroom drama and puppet play has really crystallized it perfectly for me."
When she isn't directing, the 48-year-old likes to spend as much time as possible with her 6-year-old daughter, Edie.
How do you start your weekend?
I am very blessed because I have the most beautiful daughter. And the weekend is the time I get to spend with her. Last weekend, we had two birthday parties of two of her girlfriends. Very kindly, one of the mums of a friend of my daughter took her to the second party on Sunday, so I had a little sleep in the afternoon.
What else do you do with your daughter?
My daughter is also learning the violin at the moment and she is very passionate about it. She had her first violin lesson last weekend. We learned a lot about how to do rhythms and singing exercises before playing the violin.
Do you have a favorite place to hang out on the weekend?
We normally go to my local bookshop—the Kennington Bookshop. We browse books and we do a lot of reading together. We just finished "Black Beauty." Kennington is a very mixed community—racially and culturally and in the best possible way. There is a very large Portuguese community, so there are a lot of wonderful shops for buying Portuguese cakes. There's a very big community at my daughter's school. There are a lot of parks, lovely bookshops and lovely cafés. All in all, it is a very rich community.
Do you go to museums?
We also go to the Tate Britain. There they have trays with wonderful materials. You can sit with your child and make things. Very tired parents sit on the floor making things with their children on Sunday morning, drinking cappuccino. We also go swimming on Sunday mornings. Sometimes we get on the tube and we go to the [V&A] Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green. It is a rather wonderful museum...full with toys from the 17th-century forward.
It sounds a bit exhausting.
Being a parent is a delight but of course you get a bit tired. Finally, it's the most beautiful thing you could ever do with your weekends.
What about time to yourself?
When I get time to myself I read. So at the moment I just finished the "Regeneration" trilogy by Pat Barker. These are three books about the First World War. It's a study of the psychiatric damage reaped by the war on a generation of men. I am reading it because I was asked recently by the Salzburg Festival to think of making a show to commemorate the outbreak of the First World War.
What would you do if you had more free time?
I like to go to a friend's cottage in the Brecon Beacons [National Park], which is this cottage with chickens and sheep and gardens. I like to walk in the hills with my daughter. Sometimes we do the most mad journey. We do what my daughter calls a "night drive." We leave at 9 o'clock in the evening from London after the rush hour and we drive all the way to the Brecon Beacons for about 5½ hours. We drive in this track that's very high up in the mountain and as we drive we see owls, badgers in the headlights.
"The Trial of Ubu" will be at London's Hampstead Theatre (www.hampsteadtheatre.com) until Feb. 25.

I'm having an issue with importing posts/pages from one WP installation to another. I continue to get "invalid post type." After much searching, I'm not finding answers. Lots of questions, yes, but no real answers.
So far as I can tell, I don't use any strange plug-ins and no "custom post types" (when I look at MySQL database, they look the same in the origin DB and the destination DB). And it's not happening with any pages or forms or anything like that. It's simply a straight-forward import from one WP to another.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this with straight-forward answers?
I appreciate any help at all. Thanks in advance!

"Looking for a blow-by-blow account of Condoleezza Rice's years as George W. Bush's secretary of state? You would do well to find one of the many Rice biographies already on the shelves. In this remarkably clear-eyed and candid autobiography, Rice focuses instead on her fascinating coming-of-age during the stormy civil rights years in Birmingham, Alabama."

Reggie Rose goes to all of his younger brother's basketball games. Not because he loves the high life. He just wants his brother, one of the rising stars in the NBA and the rightful heir to Air Jordan, to feel at home.
"I know he's 21, but when he comes out of the tunnel on the road, it's nice for him to have a familiar face," Reggie said in a phone conversation.
On Thursday afternoon, Reggie, on the road with his brother, found out that Derrick made his first All-Star Game. So he called Derrick as he was going to practice in New Orleans.
What did Derrick say? If you know him at all, even from a sound bite, it's not hard to imagine his response.
"He was more humble, like, 'For real?'" Reggie said. "Then he said, 'OK, that's great, that's great.' Basically that was it. He told me he had to get off the phone so he could tell Mom."
I guess it's safe to say fame hasn't tainted Derrick Rose quite yet.
"He hasn't changed at all," Reggie said. "He's the same Derrick. He loves his sweets, his cakes and his grilled cheese sandwiches. The thing is, though, he just wants to win."
Rose hit a few speed bumps this summer -- an academic scandal at Memphis that wiped out his lone season of college hoops, and an embarrassing picture online -- but came out intact. He's still polite off the court and deadly on it. And he's only getting better.
On the day we lost J.D. Salinger, I thought to myself that even Holden Caulfield, the mordant alter-ego protagonist of "Catcher in the Rye," would find it hard to dislike Derrick Rose, who is nobody's phony.
"There is truly no one better," Rose's high school coach, Robert Smith, said Thursday.
The unbelievably gifted Rose got to this point, official NBA stardom, through hard work. You can see his game evolving, as his jump shots have started falling at a metronomic rate. He's taking over games now, seamlessly and naturally, and has averaged more than 26 points, with a 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio, during the team's ongoing four-game winning streak.
Early in his Rookie of the Year campaign, he may have acquiesced at times to more experienced teammates. And he didn't rock the boat when his coach would leave the rookie on the pine in crunch time. But now, he knows he's the guy.
"I think in his first year, he just figured, 'I belong in the NBA,'" Reggie Rose said. "This year, he figured out, 'I can be one of the stars in the NBA.'"
There should be a great sense of civic pride that the Chicago-born Rose is the first Bull to make an All-Star Game since Michael Jordan was named MVP in 1998. (Yes, it's been that long. I know, I thought Kornel David made at least one ASG, or at least E-Rob.) Rose, the youngest player in the All-Star Game, will play with one of the six active players from that '98 game, Kevin Garnett, and against two others, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan.
"I think Derrick is going to be the face of the next generation, from his great class of O.J. Mayo, Kevin Love and Michael Beasley," Reggie said. "The biggest thing Derrick has going for him is that he plays in Chicago."
While Chicago is the country's third-biggest media market, the Bulls and his shoe company, adidas, failed to put together a noticeable campaign to get him voted into a starting spot, the kids at his alma mater, Simeon Career Academy, tried to help.
The basketball team wore "Vote For Derrick" T-shirts, made by the Rose brothers and adidas, before a home game, and the school even implored students to vote online during class time. It didn't work, as Rose finished behind past-their-prime Allen Iverson (who is starting) and Vince Carter in the voting. It didn't help his cause that Rose got off to a slow start because of an injured foot that limited his preseason work.
Healthy and playing at "90 percent," according to Reggie, Derrick Rose is about to move up another level with the first of what should be many All-Star Games. If he gets some quality burn, his Q-rating should shoot through the roof. Given that it was recently announced that Rose has the fourth-best-selling jersey in the league, the NBA should trumpet Rose's ascendance.
Rose, who is nowhere near LeBron James' and Dwyane Wade's level of comfort as pitchmen, does have a few commercials under his belt, not to mention his Rookie of the Year trophy, but he didn't burst onto the scene like James. James, incidentally, is the only other superstar I could think of who is the No. 1 player on his hometown team.
Reggie Rose thinks his brother has already started to inspire kids from their rough old neighborhood of Englewood, across the streets and blocks in Chicago that tourists never visit.
Not everyone makes it after all. Simeon's Ben Wilson was shot and killed in high school. Ronnie Fields' life fell apart after he was done playing. But Rose is proof positive that good things happen to good people.
"He should be role model to all," Smith said. "He shows that if you work hard, you can make it. That's what he's been doing. He's always worked so hard."
"Seeing Derrick being from Chicago and coming back to Chicago inspires kids," Reggie Rose said. "This summer, you could see more kids were out at the playground shooting. We used to see Derrick out there playing on that blacktop."
I asked Smith if his players work harder now, as if Derrick Rose's success is some kind of carrot.
"You would think so," he said, laughing. "Some of these kids think it just comes natural. They don't understand the work ethic it takes."
Derrick, he said, always understood the practice part of it. I would love to have seen his face when he saw the infamous A.I. "Practice?" clip.
"He's like a machine," Smith said. "You have to tell him to stop working out."
All players talk about the time they spend in the gym, but Rose has singular focus, Smith said. If you tell him he can't do something, like shoot, he'll prove that he can.
"Everyone wanted to change his mechanics," Reggie said. "And it wasn't the mechanics. It was him hesitating to shoot the ball. Now, there is no thought process to him shooting the ball."
The work Derrick put in over the summer, from California to Chicago, has shown up in his game. He's shooting 47 percent overall, and according to 82games.com, he's hitting 45 percent of his jumpers, a better percentage than both Wade and James. I'm just sayin'.
His shooting gets better in clutch moments, too. His fourth-quarter dominance is evident when you watch the team play.
"I know that [the fourth quarter] is when my team looks for me to pick up my game," Rose told reporters Wednesday after the Bulls' win in Oklahoma City. "Now, I'm that guy that takes the shot or gets people open. At first, in the beginning of the season when we were losing, I wasn't used to taking all the [late-game] shots like I am now. I'm kind of getting used to it."
Considering that reserves are voted in by coaches, people are obviously paying attention. Rose is not a provincial pick.
Mark Cuban, this year's All-Star host, noted that this year's game, which will be held at Cowboys Stadium, is going to "make the Super Bowl look like a bar mitzvah."
That remains to be seen. After all, will they be giving away chocolate tennis rackets, as I did in Wheeling, W.Va.?
But it's an appropriate description in this case, because I think Dallas will be the stage where Rose, the shy, candy-loving 21-year-old mama's boy, becomes a man.

Highland fiber internet

#1 Jul 5, 2012
Who has highland fiber,how is the service,speed and uptime. Any help would sure be appreciated. Thank you all :)
#2 Jul 5, 2012
I know people that has it and it is really nice and the internet seems alot faster than the standard cable dsl that highland use to use and the tv cable does not go out like it did when ever it storms.
#3 Jul 5, 2012
Can you just get fiber optic Internet and not cable tv? To install the fiber optic will they need to come inside the house for anything? I am a truck driver and I'm not home much so I would need to have someone here for them.
#4 Jul 5, 2012
My original question was about fiber based net and where you are based at,we could care less about T.V thank you all very much..
#5 Jul 5, 2012
you can just get the internet if you want and not the tv
#6 Jul 5, 2012
I thank you very much. I'm sure the other poster does too.
#7 Jul 5, 2012
they will need to come in to set the computer up to the network but it don't take long at all and it is alot faster than the old standard dsl service here in the county .
#8 Jul 5, 2012
How much more expensive is it?
#9 Jul 6, 2012
The fiber speed is capped at the same speeds as copper DSL. So you're not going to see a huge difference. Maybe a tiny amount because you it'll be digital but unless you have line problems before you'll see less than a 5% difference in speed. When they are done with ALL the fiber upgrades they'll move the speed caps up higher and it'll be a HUGE difference (1.5mbit/sec to 20mbit/sec) but that's in like 2014 or something.
#10 Jul 6, 2012
You also have to have a land line to receive internet or TV. TV is better than Comcast, but the Internet sucks, you don't get the speed your are paying for half the time. You can call them and complain and in about 10 minutes it will be working correctly then some tech calls and what to come in your house and the last time I let them in my house they tracked mud from one end to the other for me to clean up. It is always your problem not theirs.

#11 Jul 6, 2012
Thank you very much,that sounds like the way things are done @ HTC SO TYPICAL..
#12 Jul 10, 2012
I have the dsl..and it seems to be getting slower and slower. When are we going to get the fiber optic I have heard McCreary Co got it and Morgan County???? I guess Scott County will be the last on their list...as usual...shame they are using government grant money to pay for it and probally only putting it where board members live first. Same old Scott County bs.

senderos against Wolves are you thinking straight!!
I was hopeful we had sold him
I would not to be honest want him anyplace near an Arsenal defence
wolves have a mixed bag attack a small twisty one and a tall one so it depends on what they do I think they will play just one upfront with 5 strung across the middle as will sunderland
and to be honest I dont think we should change the defence at anytime
I am not sure if kenwyne Jones will be available against us but he is a right hand full and we will need our first defence out I cannot see the point of playing the other two when we dont have to and the defence is an area we definitely need to strengthen in January if possible so we can then perhaps rotate pairs ie Gallas and Vermahlen for the 2 we buySort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Do also keep in mind that Mick McCarthy has had the pitch squeezed in at the Molineux - what I mean by this is that there is less width, I'm assuming this should suit us more as it is meant to stop opposing teams from getting width and crossing balls in. We hardly cross the ball in anyways and it also helps to make less of an atmosphere with the fans further away from the pitch.
Wolves will be expected to line up in a defensive 4-2-3-1 with 2 CDM's so expecting it to be a bit tough in the midfield.
Thank god for that
cos he is a right bully within the rules just

Capt. Christopher Stover, of Vancouver, Washington, was piloting the Pave Hawk helicopter when it came down on Jan. 7 in a marshland nature reserve during a low-level training mission, The Columbian reported. He and the other three men aboard all died.
In a report issued last week, investigators said at least one goose hit the front of the helicopter, disabling its flight path stabilization systems.
Also killed in the crash were Capt. Sean M. Ruane, Tech. Sgt. Dale E. Mathews and Staff Sgt. Afton M. Ponce.
The lead helicopter crew didn't report seeing any birds as it passed over Cley Marshes in the Norfolk Wildlife Trust but the waterfowl were likely startled by the aircraft.
Stover was piloting the second helicopter in a low-level training exercise that involved a simulated rescue of an F-16 pilot who had ejected from his jet. Both air crews were wearing night-vision goggles.
Flying at 126 mph over a moonlit English coast, Stover's craft was about 110 feet above the ground when it was struck by the geese.
"The types of geese that hit the (aircraft) weigh between 6 and 12 pounds. A bird weighing 7.5 pounds would impact with 53 times the kinetic energy of a baseball moving at 100 mph," said the report, which was signed by Brig. Gen. Jon Norman, president of the investigation board,
While the report is primarily an account of a disaster, it also contained a tribute to the four aviators. Stover flew 100 rescue missions during a 3 1/2-month deployment to Afghanistan in 2012.

Hook, line and sinker, boys! You just found a catch.
It's very awkward for me to write a paragraph about myself, but here goes nothing: I'm sassy, sarcastic, really smart and pretty independent. People have told me that I am very sincere, and I take a lot of pride in that. I tend toward being somewhat sensitive and I can be prone worrying and anxiety, but overall, I can handle a lot. I have a very romantic side, but being rushed about it or the thought of being insincerely romantic bothers me. What I want out of all this: find someone who makes me laugh, understands me, who I can trust, who will help me when I need it, will let me help them in return and is equal to the task of taming this feisty lady.
Book club , Camping , Cooking , Gardening/Landscaping , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing
Aerobics, Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Dancing, Running, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I don't believe in astrology
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Fish
Middle of the Road
Argentine tango, ballet (doing and watching), reading, TV shows (Game of Thrones, Downton Abbey, Revenge, Mad Men, Vampire Diaries, Through the Wormhole, etc...I like a good mix of the educational, dramatic and incredibly ridiculous), Exotic food
I do Argentine tango, I also like weightlifting, ballet, running, reading, watching movies and shows and going to concerts (although I've only been to a few in my life).

Education at a Glance: OECD Indicators is the authoritative source for accurate information on the state of education around the world. It provides data on the output of educational institutions; the impact of learning across countries; the financial and human resources invested in education; access, participation and progression in education; and the learning environment and organisation of schools.
The 2015 edition introduces more detailed analysis of participation in early childhood and tertiary levels of education. The report also examines first generation tertiary-educated adults' educational and social mobility, labour market outcomes for recent graduates, and participation in employer-sponsored formal and/or non-formal education. Readiness to use information and communication technology for problem solving in teaching and learning is also examined. The publication provides indicators on the impact of skills on employment and earnings, gender differences in education and employment, and teacher and school leader appraisal systems. For the first time, this edition includes highlights of each indicator inside the book. The report covers all 34 OECD countries and a number of partner countries (Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Latvia, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia and South Africa, and for the first time, Costa Rica and Lithuania).
The Excel™ spreadsheets used to create the tables and charts in Education at a Glance are available via the StatLinks provided throughout the publication.
Governments need to tackle persistent inequalities in education and focus on improving efficiencies in their education systems in order to ensure that every child, whatever their background, can realise their full potential and benefit from a good education, according to a new OECD report.
In the past decade, many countries have designed explicit internationalisation policies for their higher education systems, acknowledging the benefits of international exposure to prepare students for a globalising economy as well as the many opportunities of cross-border mobility for innovation, improvement and capacity development in higher education and in the economy.
Cases of fraud and opportunistic behaviour have shown that these promises come with risks for students and other tertiary education stakeholders though. It is precisely to help all stakeholders to minimise these risks and strengthen the dynamics of openness, collaboration and transparency across countries that UNESCO and OECD jointly developed the Guidelines for Quality Provision in Cross-Border Higher Education.
This book monitors the extent to which tertiary education stakeholders complied with the Guidelines in 2014. It will be of interest to policy makers, leaders of tertiary education institutions and quality assurance agencies, as well as to academics and other parties interested in higher education and its internationalisation.
Only in some countries is a larger proportion of immigrant students in schools related to lower student performance – and this relationship is mostly explained by the concentration of disadvantaged students in these schools.
It is difficult for us here in Paris to think about much else beside the innocents who lost their lives last week during the senseless, brutal attack that shook our city. Our thoughts are with their families and loved ones; our spirit remains firmly fixed on the values we cherish: liberté, égalité, fraternité.
English, PDF, 5,029kb
This document reveals some of the difficulties immigrant students encounter – and some of the contributions they offer – while settling into their new communities and new schools. It also presents some of the policies governments can implement to help immigrant students integrate into their host societies.

Muchos países han aplicado reformas para desarrollar y apoyar estudios de doctorado e investigación postdoctoral, recalcando la función crucial de los estudiantes de doctorado y titulados universitarios en términos de crecimiento económico, innovación e investigación científi ca.
The Korean economy has seen significant growth in the past decades. However, much of the economic growth has been supported by intensive labour resource utilisation. Korean workers work the second longest hours among OECD countries. This is not sustainable in the long-term because Korea's working age population is projected to decline from 2017 onwards.
While Korea has seen strong economic growth and an impressive rise of skill levels over the past decades, further action is needed to improve the labour market relevance of education, remove barriers to employment and raise productivity levels in Korea, according to a new OECD report.
Research suggests that, when it comes to early childhood education and care, quality matters most. A growing number of countries are establishing monitoring systems to ensure quality and accountability in these programmes. This new publication explores how countries can develop and use these systems to enhance service and staff quality for the benefit of child development. It offers an international perspective and concrete examples to help policy makers, monitoring experts and practitioners in the field develop their own monitoring policies and practices.

|"Whatmen?!" on sale now
Fans of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbonsâ âWatchmenâ uttered a collective sigh of relief when the court battle between Fox and Warner Bros. over the distribution rights to the movie adaptation was finally resolved. Those who canât wait for the March 6 âWatchmenâ feature film release can whet their appetites with IDW Publishingâs upcoming one-shot, âWhatmen?!â, a not so thinly veiled parody written by Scott Lobdell with art by Alejandro Figueroa. CBR News caught up with Lobdell to get all the details on his sincerest form of flattery for Moore & Gibbonsâ epic opus.
Scott Lobdell is the first to admit his send-up of the comic book classic is none-too-subtle. âMy final draft of the script had the characters all using their first names (in their secret identities) and [editor] Scott Dunbier called and said no,â Lobdell told CBR News. âI knew exactly what he meant!â
Lobdell is a longtime fan of âMAD Magazine,â and he certainly took a few pages from it in crafting his âWatchmenâ parody. âThey don't need to call Obama âNobamaâ or do a spoof of âHouseâ and call it âCondo, MD,â so why should we?â
âAs far as the plot goes, there is a pretty straight line between âWhatmenâ and âWatchmen,ââ Lobdell continued. âBut its as if you're reading that Great American Classic Graphic Novel in the reflection of a fun house mirror. Who even goes to fun houses any more?â
Lobdellâs parody spoofs not only âWatchmenâ proper, but also the supplementary material that Moore & Gibbons included at the back of each issue. âWe get to see Nutsack's arrest report, an interview with Ozzy, and much, much more!â he said.
Believe it or not, Lobdell decided early on that he didnât want âWhatmen?!â to be too over-the-top. âInstead, we wanted to try to be subtle where we could,â the writer said. âOkay, okay, there are a lot of silly, silly bits in âWhatmen,â but I think what will be even funner for fans is when they spot the more subtle jokes. The homage to the original series goes well beyond the penciled pages.â
|"Whatmen?!" on sale now
Scott Lobdell is perhaps best known for his long run on âUncanny X-Menâ in the â90s, and his run was characterized by character-driven stories, which he attributes in part to his fondness for âWatchmen,â which he first read in the 1980s. âReally, when you read it, there is very little superhero-ness going on,â Lobdell explained. âIt feels so much about the people. Writers like Alan and Chris [Claremont] and J.M. [DeMatteis] had opened the door for writers like me, who have less interest in seeing the world blown up as hanging around with the people who prevent the world from blowing up and seeing what makes them tick.â
Lobdell first pitched the idea of âWhatmen?!â to IDW Publisher Chris Ryall at the 2008 Comic-Con International in San Diego, excited by the prospect of hundreds of thousands of new fans discovering âWatchmenâ for the first time on the big screen. âThen about a month later I read that DC had printed a million copies of the book for stores, and I got thinking, âWow, that is a lot of eyeballs!ââ Lobdell said.
But the folks at IDW took some convincing. âWhen I first suggested the idea to IDW there was a gasp,â Lobdell revealed. âAs if to say âWatchmenâ was sacred, how could anyone dare to sully it with humor!â But within two weeks, Chris Ryall came around and sent Lobdell an e-mail saying, âSo, are we doing this, or what?â
Lobdell met artist Alejandro Figueroa on Facebook, and the two became fast friends. When Lobdellâs pitch for âWhatmen?!â became a reality, he asked Figueroa, âCan you do a sort of Dave Gibbons riff?" Within a matter of hours, the artist sent Lobdell hilarious sketches of Nutsack and some of the other characters, and Lobdell immediately knew he had his man. English is not Figueroaâs first language, but Lobdell found a unique way of working with his collaborator. âI would do little breakdowns of the panels we were going to spoof and I'd send them to him with notes for jokes in the margin. Then I would leave it up to him to add whatever other jokes he wanted.â
Amber Shields colored the âWhatmen?!â one-shot, and Lobdell couldnât be happier with the work she did. âShe was able to capture every nuance of the original but still make it all her own,â Lobdell said. âSheâs a very talented woman who is going to be working in the industry for a very long time, bringing a new and exciting take on every project. You heard it here first!â
|"Whatmen?!" on sale now
Lobdell told CBR News that Israeli artist Elite Avniâs painted covers are nothing short of âawe inspiring,â and he couldnât have asked for a better letterer than the incomparable Richard Starkings. âNot only does Comicraft rule, but they ruled in this case by making themselves invisible,â Lobdell explained. âYou don't stop to say, âWait a minute! There was never lettering like that twenty years ago!â Richard made it look and sound like the original but with a really weird sense of humor!â
âWhatmen?!â is not the only project on Lobdellâs horizon. âAt this moment I have a âGhostbustersâ mini, an âAngelâ mini and a new comic series I'm producing with Jennifer Love Hewitt, based on an original idea by everyone's favorite Ghost Whisperer!â Lobdell confirmed, adding that he and Amber Shields are also working on a paranormal teen soap opera called âRipe,â which he described as ââFriday Night Lightsâ meets âX-Files.ââ
âWhatmen?!â is on sale now from IDW Publishing.

Authority abused is letal to a charismatic group. I have seen several groups destroyed by authoritative priest. Since many years I have not found a catholic charismatic reunion that is a group. I have gone to all I have been told that is a very charismatic group but they never are a group they all are a teaching lesson with one or two persons directing things with authority. One can tell even by the way the chairs are placed always like a class or conference all of them looking to a stage or desk, and they proceeded as class. I have never felt the presence of God in those conferences anymore than I do at home, they mimic charismatics.
Charismatic group were groups to include everybody, the authority resided if needed in a group of several commited people, mainly the authority was
of the group. Bad use of authority is the cause of people leaving the Curch

An IRA rollover is created by transferring funds from existing retirement accounts — for example, any 401(k)s you may have with previous employers — into a new, consolidated IRA. We can work with you to help you understand your investment options, including whether a rollover is right for you.
You can roll multiple retirement accounts, both employer plans and other IRAs, into a single Traditional or Roth IRA.
Before moving assets, be sure to consider all of your options. Generally, you have four options:
There are benefits to leaving money within your workplace plan, as well as rolling over your assets to an IRA or a new employer's plan. You also need to consider differences in investment options, services, fees and expenses, withdrawal options, required minimum distributions, other plan features, and tax treatment. Speak with a TIAA-CREF Consultant and your tax advisor. Learn More at: www.tiaa-cref.org/reviewyouroptions.
Consolidating multiple retirement accounts into a single account with one company has its advantages:
A clearer picture of your retirement savings
With multiple accounts managed by multiple companies, it's hard to see where you stand. Consolidating accounts can give you a clearer picture of investments, so you can help ensure asset diversity and help reduce risk.1
A single source of income to manage at retirement
Managing accounts — and distributions at retirement — is a lot easier with one statement and one source of income.
Potentially reduced expense
The fewer accounts you maintain, the fewer fees you potentially pay for each account. Based on Morningstar data, the expense ratio on all mutual fund products and variable annuity accounts managed by TIAA-CREF is generally less than half the mutual fund industry average.*

"Ghostbusters": 10 Facts About the Franchise You Thought You Knew
Welcome to the three hundredth and eighty-first in a series of examinations of comic book legends and whether they are true or false.
Click here for an archive of the previous three hundred and eighty.
Let's begin!
COMIC LEGEND: During 1904, there were dueling Wizard of Oz-based comic strips.
STATUS: True
While everyone is familiar with L. Frank Baum's classic The Wonderful World of Oz (which was published in 1900), less famous is the illustrator of the book, W.W. Denslow.
Here is one of Denslow's pages from the book, where he defined the look for the various Oz characters…
Interestingly enough, Denslow owned the copyright to the first book with Baum 50/50.
While the book was popular upon its release, it was not until the book was adapted into a play in 1902 that it became a sensation.
It was also at this time that Denslow and Baum had a falling out. Denslow felt that he was being squeezed out of profits from the play.
Well, with the play now being such a success, Baum was "forced" to do a sequel to the first book. The Marvelous World of Oz debuted in 1905 and was illustrated by John R. Neill, who drew most of the future Oz works from that point on.
As a promotion for the new book, Baum did a comic strip with artist Walt McDougall called Queer Visitors from Oz beginning in 1904. Here is a sample…
Denslow was pissed at being cut off, so he actually did his OWN competing comic strip, The Adventures of Scarecrow and Tinman. Here is a sample…
As you can see, these early comic strips were more like illustrated stories, and Denslow's stories were later collected into a children's book.
Here are pages from the collected book…
Sadly (for Denslow), even then, Baum was accepted as the "real" author of the Oz characters and while Queer Visitors was a hit (as was the new novels, which Baum would continue putting out until his death in 1919), Denslow's strip faded into obscurity very quickly.
Still, it's amazing to know that we used to have not one, but TWO comic strips based on the Wizard of Oz…AS THE BOOKS WERE COMING OUT!
Thanks to Sunday Press Books for the sample pages of the strips and thanks to James Wallace for the scans of the Denslow book. If you're interested, Sunday Press Books has collected all of the strips (the Baum/McDougall as well as the Denslow) into a book. Read more about it here.
So you wrote that book? Ha! I pre-ordered it a couple of months ago.
What book? Why Does Batman Carry Shark Repellent?
Then later, after Colossus died, Kitty came back with an issue to collect his ashes and spread them in Russia and most or all of the issue was narrated by a letter she was writing about how she was in school now, etc, etc, and living a normal life.
Yes. The tittle got me.
Good man!
The second book was Marvelous Land of Oz, not world.
Interestingly, it's probable the book (and series) would never have happened without the 1902 play. Baum loved theater (he'd been an actor, playwright, theater manager at various points) and after the play was a hit (it's a big influence on the 1939 movie) he tried selling some more ideas. No takers. So then the possibility of a second book that would become a second play came to mind; the play flopped but the Oz books went on.
(there's more information in a book I wrote a few years ago, Wizard of Oz Catalog–forgive the self-promotion).
Plug away!
And yeah, it is fascinating to see just how much of an impact the play had on the success of Oz.
man a Lee Moder Kitty Pride mini I would have bought that !
HAHAHAHAHA! "Queer Visitors from Oz!" And the Italian fruit vendor! HAHAHHAHAHAHA!
Oh, I LOVE this blog best of all!
Kittie Pride is wearing Luthor Tech armor.
I bet Marvel wishes they had copyrighted "The Walking Dead" on that Union Jack cover… haha.
Theresa: That's exactly what I thought! Purple and green isn't the most obscure combination in comics, but that totally looks like something Lex Luthor designed.
And oops, sorry for misspelling Teresa.
[…] 14 Comments […]
OK, I'm bitin' my tongue on jokes about the Queer Visitors from Oz. Friends of Dorothy indeed.
A number of characters in Jack Staff were also used by Morrison in Zenith, weren't they? I thought that was where I'd seen some of them prior to JS. I need to dig in back issue bins for more of JS.
Hey, I like the short bit at the top of the column saying what the Legends are this week. Just an oversight in not including them?
The relationship between "youth fiction" and the stage around the turn of the century is remarkably similar to that between comics and movies today. Oz, Peter Pan, and Jekyll and Hyde (to name three off the top of my head) were special-effects spectaculars for their time, and the synergy between stage, page, and merchandising would make SPACEBALLS 2 seem uninspired (particularly in Baum's case).
Nice >tik< Bug-suit, Kitty. And since it fits you like I glove, I must conclude that everything really does go to your thighs. (And seriously–how many times is Marvel going to do the "Kitty is trapped/stuck inside something!" canard? What's the point of giving her a phasing-and-electronic-fritzing power if she can't phase or fritz electronics half the time?)
Shades of Lee/Kirby in the Oz piece. Were the Oz stories called "comics strips" at the time? I wouldn't view them as comics today.
I can't seem to lay hands on it at the moment, but back during the time that Paul was doing some work for Marvel on things like the DAILY BUGLE limited series he wrote, he at one point sent me a letter with a drawing of Union Jack at the bottom of it asking if we might be in the market for a pitch. But at that point the UNION JACK series that I edited with Ben Raab and John Cassaday was either just about to come out or had just come out, and so nothing ever came of it–aside from that one letter drawing.
Tom B
What Tom said. I never wrote a pitch for Union Jack. It was never rejected. It was only later that I realised that a Union Jack mini series had been published earlier that year, by which time I'd already done Jack Staff #1. Strictly speaking, the supporting characters are not public domain, but that's OK because strictly speaking they're completly different to any previously existing British Comic characters. Apart from the Spider. But that's a long story…
I have done rants about the rage over what happen to Kitty, I never knew they were plans I am not shocked they seemed to be kobashed by people marvel who probably didn't like the character. The fact that was never explain and really the whole college was so dumb excuse to get ride of. It always made me mad. Worse I wouldn't be surprised Whedon was allowed to have her to get ride of her. Clarmount wasn't allowed to use her during Xtreme X-Men. Why? No one has ever explained.
By the way that story sounds then what did with her. Nothing! Though I would have love to seen return after the mini with crisis but we will never see that or what happen to her.
Supermutant, the problem was that fan reaction to Claremont's second run was overwhelmingly negative- even the movie didn't help. So Marvel wanted to get rid of Claremont's plot as quickly as possible.
"the Kitty arc was shifted over to a stand-alone mini-series (X-Men: Shadowcat – Captains Courageous) which would cast Kitty and a team of Captains as a kind of pan-temporal S.W.A.T. team, dealing with crises on alternate Earths and serve as the foundation/springboard for a possible new ongoing series."
This sounds like an early pitch for Exiles. Didn't Claremont eventually use Kitty (or an alterni-badass-Kitty) in Exiles when he took over the book?
Some of the other heroes in Jack Staff also appear in Alan Moore's Albion mini-series, as they are in the public domain now, I believe. The trade of Albion that DC released a few years ago even included reprints of some of the original British comics and strips that were the inspiration for Albion, which overall was similar to Moore's work on Terra Obscura and League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen…
Oops, I just reviewed my trades and take that back. Much of the supporting heroes in Jack Staff are BASED on the old British characters (Claw = Steel Claw, Tom Tom = Robot Archie, etc.) but are Grist's own twist on the characters.
@Andrew: Thanks for the info! I have at least one of those minis from DC (the Thunderbolt Jaxon one that Dave Gibbons did, iirc), but hadn't gotten the Albion one. excellent!
And as to your second post, I'll play off another British stalwart: nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more, say no more.
Michael, I agree with wasn't that great of a run but still better then Morrisons run to me or other crappy runs in recent years. Still doesn't excuse just wasting a character like that.
Have any of the more recent adaptations and continuations of the Oz series treated the Denslow stuff as canon, or is it just swept under the rug?

Supermutant, I'm not disputing that getting rid of Kitty was problematic. (It caused problems when Kitty appeared in a Gambit annual where the New Sun was trapped and in the Gambit issue following that story where Gambit and Fontanelle compare notes Fontanelle mentions Gambit becoming leader of the X-Men, which happened after Kitty disappeared. It works if you assume that the Gambit Annual takes place before Kitty disappeared and Gambit and Fontenelle waited a while after New Sun's defeat to compare notes but still…) But that's happened to other characters as well when editors or writers don't like a writer's plot- it's no indication of a vast hatred for Kitty. Dani Moonstar disappeared for a year and a half without explanation when Loeb took over X-Force- although readers disliked it, I don't think that it was the result of Loeb's hatred for Dani.
I would like to point out that one good thing came out of her disappearance/ absence in the X-books and Marvel in general, that when Whedon used to her in his Astonishing X-Men run, the fact she had been gone helped make it easier for Whedon to use her and it gave her a "Yay! Kitty's back!" effect when the book began.
I'm not saying i like comics i can read in 5 minutes but damm, that Claremont piece is heavy on word baloons! And unecessary ones!

The Shield confronted CM Punk
There's something to be said for finishing a year off as strong as you started it. And for CM Punk, who began 2013 as WWE Champion with The Brahma Bull himself in his sights, nothing would do for a curtain call than calling out the biggest, baddest dogs in the yard: The Shield. Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns – light years beyond the wild newcomers they were 12 months ago – were, of course, all too eager to take out the proverbial thorn in their collective paws. So much so, in fact, that the three Hounds of Justice nearly got into it with each other over who was the unit's strongest link and therefore worthiest to face Punk. Thanks to a timely appearance by Raw GM Brad Maddox, though, The Shield's tumult was quelled and Seth Rollins was selected as the lucky Superstar who would battle The Best in the World.
CM Punk def. Seth Rollins
The heightened expectation of being CM Punk's handpicked opponent certainly didn't slow Seth Rollins down in the former Tag Team Champion's first one-on-one tilt against The Straight Edge Superstar. If anything, getting a crack at The Shield's personal Kryptonite energized the wild man into one of his strongest efforts yet. And yet, even with bragging rights on the line, it wasn't enough to stop the surging Punk from handing The Shield another humiliation.
Punk played fast and loose with Rollins while Ambrose and Reigns prowled the outside, improvising submission holds with the ropes as leverage and attempting a Go to Sleep only seconds into the contest. Rollins took control by throwing Punk into the turnbuckle, but his arms – to borrow a phrase – proved too short to box with God. Capitalizing on Ambrose's distraction of the referee, Punk kicked out of Rollins' strongest moves, sent the strategist flying into his fellow Shield-mates and finally reversed a springboard strike into a match-ending Go to Sleep.
Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State played host to WWE Tribute to the Troops 2013 as members of the U.S. Military and their families enjoyed an action-packed evening of WWE competition. Joining WWE this year in honoring the troops were "Access Hollywood" co-host Michelle Beadle, four-time Grammy nominee Daughtry and renowned comedian Jeff Dunham.
Daniel Bryan def. Bray Wyatt via disqualification
A Six-Man Tag Team Match was not originally scheduled for Tribute to the Troops. However, the intense rivalry between Daniel Bryan and The Wyatt Family would not allow for a singles match between the former WWE Champion and Bray Wyatt to play out for the men and women of the U.S. Military.
There certainly is no love lost between Bryan and Wyatt, and their confrontation quickly degraded into an all-out brawl. The Eater of Worlds was relentless in his early offense, but his aggression towards Bryan may have blinded him – allowing Bryan to take control and a huge advantage in the contest. As Bryan was about to pin Wyatt and secure victory, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper interfered, resulting in a disqualification.
As Daniel Bryan was overwhelmed by The Wyatt Family, CM Punk ran to the ring in an effort to even the odds. SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero did not take kindly to the chaos and stated that the service members in attendance deserved order. As a result, she restarted the bout as a Tag Team Match pitting Harper & Rowan against Daniel Bryan & CM Punk.
CM Punk & Daniel Bryan def. Luke Harper & Erick Rowan via disqualification
The tag team battle began in similar fashion to the singles bout that preceded it. The animosity between Punk, Bryan and the Wyatt Family led to a physical and competitive match that saw the two former WWE Champions gaining an advantage thanks to their experience and speed. As Punk prepared to execute the Go To Sleep on Erick Rowan, Bray Wyatt attacked, ending the match in another disqualification.
As The Wyatt Family attacked, John Cena made his way to the ring and unleashed on the creepy trio. The chaos that ensued again caught the attention of Vickie Guerrero, who announced a Six-Man Tag Team Match between Cena, Punk & Bryan and The Wyatt Family!
John Cena, CM Punk & Daniel Bryan def. The Wyatt Family
On the edge of their seats, the members of the U.S. Military at Joint Base Lewis-McChord were firmly in support of the trio of former WWE Champions as they battled the unorthodox and powerful Wyatts.
Momentum shifted back and forth, with the chaotic match starts and stops taking a toll on everyone involved – except the Cenation leader. Following The Second City Saint making the tag to Cena, the 11-time WWE Champion hit the ring in a rush of adrenaline. With Bray Wyatt and Rowan reeling on the outside of the ring, Punk hit the GTS on Harper, and Bryan nailed the massive competitor with a running knee before Cena secured the win with an Attitude Adjustment.
