I was thinking the same thing about mc's water stop photo; a good shot for the Boomer God Calendar!! I still think he needs a little speed/strength/hillwork, though. It's a wonder he can lift the water cup.
I like Tramps' hothead kitty!
A big zero on the schedule for me; missed my swim workout.

Happy Birthday Susan and congrats on the great progress! Sounds like it was a good BD run. Glad to hear Pelle got to enjoy it with you. Wishing you a great year ahead with some fun HMs!

4 miles in the dark... and -5F. This run, like Mariposai's, was not fun at all. I think I froze my eyeballs. Weird feeling, but with my eyelashes frozen up, it was really hard to see. I have run in much colder conditions without this problem, so not sure what's going on. I was going to run the treadmill, but forgot my running bra so had to go home. By the time I got home, I didn't feel like taking the car out again and figured even with the time to "dress up" it would be less time than driving to the gym and back. So, bundled up and was warm enuf everywhere but my eyes... the strangest feeling. Vision was blurry shortly after the 2.25 mile turnaround, and with the uneven icy terrain that got pretty dicey near the end. Quit at 4 miles (just before the real steep climb up to my road) and walked up the powerline, the shortcut the kids take to/from the bus. All in all, not a bad run, but the effect on my eyes was a concern. I've got alot of long cold runs ahead of me, and can't afford to have my vision blurring up if it's around zero or colder!!
Yikes, Erika, that sounds pretty uncomfortable! Maybe you should run wearing ski goggles? Who cares what it looks like, right? Your missing bra reminded me of a wardrobe problem I had once when changing after work to go run. When I ret'd to my office the next day, I found my panties hanging on the door knob to the bathroom. Guess they got caught when I was carrying clothes back to my gym bag. This is why our mothers always said to wear clean panties.
Great kitty photo, Tramps.
Dark Horse, definitely show your friend the photos of you with the arm candy and tell him you don't need to look like a cartoon figure to pick up hawt chicks.

A former boss called DW at work last week. I called him back. He said he'd hire me. I'd keep my benefit package and it would be 30 miles from home. I'd be home every night. The other position would be a challenge. However, with Mom in Hospice care and other events in life, maybe a position that requires travel isn't in anyone's best interest. I've had to ask myself today, "Have I been headed where God leads me, or have I been headed in my own direction and expecting God to follow?". One thing I've learned from the former boss is to celebrate all outcomes.
I bagged running today as I went and did a few things over at Mom's

How Weight Loss Surgery Can Change Your Life
Choosing a Type of Weight Loss Surgery
In this article
Maestro Rechargeable System
What it is: The Maestro Rechargeable System works like a pacemaker to deliver electrical pulses to a nerve between the stomach and brain, called vagus nerve. This nerve tells the brain when the stomach is full. The device is implanted in the abdomen and has a remote control that can adjust it from outside the body. The system is programmed to deliver a pulse -- 5 minutes on and 5 minutes off -- to the vagus nerve during your waking hours, and it's supposed to turn off during the hours you sleep.
Pros: Implanting this device is the least invasive of the weight loss surgeries. The outpatient procedure may take up to an hour and a half while the patient is under general anesthesia.
Cons: The device has to be charged once or twice a week. If the battery completely drains, a doctor has to reprogram it. Side effects can include nausea, vomiting, heartburn, problems swallowing, belching, mild nausea, and chest pain.
Risks: Infection, pain at the implantation site, or other surgical complications.
Biliopancreatic Diversion
What it is: This is a more drastic version of a gastric bypass. The surgeon removes as much as 70% of your stomach and bypasses even more of the small intestine.
A somewhat less extreme version is biliopancreatic diversion with a duodenal switch, or "the duodenal switch." It's still more involved than a gastric bypass, but this procedure removes less of the stomach and bypasses less of the small intestinethan biliopancreatic diversion without the switch. It also makes dumping syndrome, malnutrition, and ulcers less common than with a standard biliopancreatic diversion.
Pros: Biliopancreatic diversion can result in even greater and faster weight loss than a gastric bypass. Although much of the stomach is removed, what's left is still larger than the pouches formed during gastric bypass or banding procedures. So you may be able to eat larger meals with this surgery than with others.
Cons: Biliopancreatic diversion is less common than gastric bypass. One of the reasons is that the risk of not getting enough nutrients is much more serious. It also poses many of the same risks as gastric bypass, including dumping syndrome. But the duodenal switch may lower some of these risks.
Risks: This is one of the most complicated and riskiest weight loss surgeries. As with gastric bypass, this surgery poses a fairly high risk of hernias, which will need more surgery to correct. But this risk is lower when the doctor uses minimally invasive procedures (called laparoscopy).

"Though the vocals are the focus of the record the moments when the music shines through is what makes the record what it is. It's not like the southern rock guitar solos ala Lynyrd Skynyrd or the Allman Brothers.

This subtle change in form is what makes Uncle Flatty more than just another bar band."

Fixtures and Appliances: Dishwashers
A dishwasher makes a perfect companion for an island sink. Put them close together, no more than a step apart, for convenience and so that they can share the same drain. A conventional dishwasher is one option, although its hinged, drop-down door may cause traffic jams. Slide-out dishwasher drawers (shown) take up a fraction of the floor space when open and come in a variety of sizes with one- and two-drawer configurations. The downside? They're not cheap.

This page should not be speedy deleted because I am adding article links to it.

It has placed well in the brew festivals and has attracted notice in the national brewery scene.

Nice piece!
Was a good idea to combine the bells with the drumms. I think some belltower-sound would have suited wery well, maybe the stringts could be a little bit variable, but i know its hard to compose with string sets because synthetics cant surrogate the real ones. Thats the reason why i am always afraid to use them. Anyway very nice and christmas-like!
Best wishes
Rated 4 / 5 stars
You certainly did succeed in getting a irish and christmas like vibe in this song. I particulary like the little drum, however the melodies ( apart from that glockenspiel melody, which i must say is very catchy) are kind of dull until around the 50 second mark where they get more interesting.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I actually enjoyed listening to this.

ODT /directory
An update of passenger services presented to a recent council
committee meeting showed that while overall patronage was
down, Saturday services were attracting users.
In a report to the committee, council manager support
services Gerard Collings said Saturday services showed a 3%
increase last year. The regional council had increased
Saturday services in January last year. At Cr Sam Neill's
request, Mr Collings worked out the percentage increase
translated to about 2500-3000 extra trips.
Cr Trevor Kempton said getting people to use buses was going
to continue to be ''a battle''.
''Maybe when petrol's $3 a [litre], it might change.''
Cr Scott said patronage figures had looked promising during
the year but the final figures presented a different picture.
Cr David Shepherd said the figures showed drops in usage
during the university holidays.
This year, the council was working with the University of
Otago and Otago Polytechnic student associations to increase
student use of the bus system. A student discount was being
trialled and 6000 Go Cards would be distributed to first-year
tertiary students.
From February 17 to April 30, students would receive a 15%
discount on top of the 10% Go Card subsidy available to
''Students will be required to present a current student ID
to drivers, in order to obtain the trial concession.''
- email@example.com
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
I'm totally against ORC offering a substantial discount to
students when other members of the public receive such poor
bus services, whether to do with routes, frequency, lack of
easy transfers and associated ticketing, little or no
explicit route information on bus stop timetables and
programmable illuminated front of bus sign systems,
regretable lack of adherence to timetables by the bus
companies. It all points to very poor management and a fickle
disregard for providing clear communication for the customer
The online and printed timetables in particular are poorly
designed and mostly illegible. The buses will never fill
unless they are convenient, on time, and take more than one
pram or wheelchair per trip... And why don't we have
affordable city-wide shuttles operating, not the oversize
buses which are really only a solution to Dunedin people's
needs in peak hours. ORC will put the blame on government
legislation and funding models but maybe it's time to hit the
entrepreneurial button for a city of this geography and
social demographic. Not everyone wants to run a car in
preference to good public transport.

Comments about 'Brad Rock: Spring games now more a dress rehearsal than a competitive, tough battle'

I can appreciate that they don't want to risk injury, but a lot of these spring games seem pointless. They practice punting by having only one guy on the punt return team who always calls for a fair catch. With nobody rushing its amazing how infrequently you see blocked punts. Meanwhile, you never see a kick-off run back for a touchdown since they just put the ball on 35 yard line while special teams guzzle their Gatorade on the sidelines. When they finally bring out the offense, the defensive plays are so limited you really don't know if the quarterbacks are really all that sharp or not. Its the same blitz play every down. If only the PAC-12 were this predictable.

So no injuries? Awesome! And not bad in the attendance part either. Despite
knowing full well this game was going to be vanilla, twice as many fans showed
up for this game than the next highest attended Spring game in the state.

As usual, Utah fans outnumbered byu fans in the spring game.
Maybe that's because one team has an incredible season to look forward to, and another team's second best game against a power conference team is against Cal, the worst team in the Pac 12.
Meanwhile, I've got games against Michigan, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Arizona, Arizona State, and rival Colorado to look forward to!

The Pac-12 is a great journey and the Ute program is total class top to bottom. Of course it's the highest attended spring game in the state. It would be interesting to know how our attendance stacked up against the other programs in our elite conference. It's great to see this kind of support for our Utes and the alumni who come in from all over the country to be here.
Thanks for the coverage, DN.

Chris B,
How long is the waiting list to buy season tickets to all your super neat PAC12 games in that smallish RES stadium? Did I miss the article where Dr. Hill announced the expansion plans for the smallest stadium in the mighty PAC12? Is Utah waiting for another Winter Olympics to pickup the check like the last time? So many questions so little time before the new season!!!
Go Cougs!!! Rise Up!!!

I have an iso image of Windows 8 which I would like to burn to an sd card. How do I do this? I know about the startup disk creator but it only works for an ubuntu image.
Each operating system works differently, specially if talking about windows-linux. Thus, id recommend you to use the microsoft tool. Although i haven't tried it, I read that the windows 7 USB tool will do the job, check out this post for more information:

Computer Mice
PC Magazine provides up-to-date coverage and product reviews of computer mice
Bottom Line: With tactile alerts, a modular design, and an OLED screen, the SteelSeries Rival 700 gaming mouse is functional and fun, but adding modular components can get pricey.
Razer Turret Living Room Gaming Mouse and Lapboard 06.09.2016
Bottom Line: The Razer Turret is a clever wireless keyboard and mouse combo with a couch-friendly form factor, but it comes with a couple of compromises.
Bottom Line: The $30 Logitech M325c Wireless Optical Mouse is fun and interesting looking, but the scroll wheel and sensor are a bit too touchy.
Bottom Line: The Cougar 550M Gaming Mouse has a comfortable design, and plenty of buttons to customize, but the awkward placement of one of its key buttons holds it back.
Bottom Line: The Cougar 300M is an entry-level gaming mouse that offers an ergonomic design, numerous customization options, and a smooth gaming experience for a low price, but its slippery finish and stiff scroll wheel can make extended use difficult.
Bottom Line: The DXT Wireless Mouse 2 is an expensive ergonomic mouse with some good design ideas, but in our testing, was ultimately less comfortable and intuitive than a traditional mouse.
Bottom Line: The Razer Diamondback is a full-featured gaming mouse with customizable lighting and programmable buttons, but its ambidextrous design can be uncomfortable to use.
Bottom Line: The versatile Razer Mamba gaming mouse offers unparalleled features and customization options, including adjustable click feedback, 16.8 million lighting colors, 10 programmable buttons, and wired or wireless operation.
Bottom Line: The Apple Magic Mouse 2 looks and feels the same as its predecessor, and now comes with rechargeable batteries. Its minimalist design may not be comfortable for everyone, however, and the Lightning port isn't in the best location.
Bottom Line: Razer's DeathAdder Chroma gaming mouse serves up an ergonomic design, lots of customization options, and excellent performance.

Pink has been coy about rampant rumors that she's pregnant, but a rep for the singer has a clear message: "Pink is not expecting."
Rumors began circulating earlier this month that the singer and her husband, Carey Hart, might be expanding their family after Pink was photographed appearing to have a slight baby bump.
In a move that had fans wondering if she was joking or dropping hints, Pink posted a message on Twitter last week, saying "Off to the gym. Lord knows when this 600-lb baby comes out that I've been growing for 8 years, i better be strong and physically prepared!!!" Good to know she has a strong sense of humor. – Marla Lehner and Jessica Herndon

Mill City Oktoberfest
Does Oktoberfest come at the tail end of summer in order to lessen the pain from our realization that we are fast approaching the winter months? At this daylong celebration of brew traditions both local and global, folks will be able to enjoy beer season with activities held indoors, in the Mill Ruins Courtyard, and at the farmers' market. Chat with Minnesota craft brewers about local pints, and sample some varieties that you have never tried (or try old favorites again). Kramarczuk's Sausage Co. will be hosting German cooking demonstrations led by Heather Hartman. Indoors in the Baking Lab, guests will be invited to watch the production of European baked goods. Fans of Minnesota breweriana—collectable beer items including steins, signage, and promotional posters—will want to check out special items on display from the North Star Chapter of the American Breweriana Association. Be sure to spend some time in the beer garden, and stop to take in entertainment by the Elk River German Band, the Bavarian Musikmeisters, and the S.G. Edelweiss Dancers.

Is there a way to associate each image with a unique, user-assigned URL? For a tiled set I want to use, my goal is to link each image in the tile to a unique link elsewhere on my web site. Currently, the only selectable option in Alpine is to link all images to a single, user-assigned URL.

But, for once, I do believe I might ACTUALLY finish an idea that I've had.
The resulting pieces, though they are based on Sailor Moon (one of my all time favorite anime), will be 100% parody, and will therefore be protected by law. This really makes me happy because that means that even at our upcoming conventions with a very strict fan art policy, I'll still be able to offer them for sale. I'm not sure how well they'll really do; I'm the first to admit that my style is a bit rough and tends to go all over the place with how I handle various things, but I'm working on it. At the very least, the display might be enough to draw some people in to the table
I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Hi there,
We are spending four days in Heavenly (Marriott Grand) and want the family to go downhill biking. We have done this before and when we last did it, we hired bikes and all the protective gear, took a gondola to the top of the mountain and then cycled downhill along various tracks (some easier than others).
I think I can do it near Heavenly and would love to know where I can hire bikes (preferably near the lifts) and an approximate cost.
Any help will be so amazing.
Thanks in advance.

John Force called his shot.
"They asked me today if I was passing the torch," he observed on Sunday morning's telecast, prior to elimination rounds at the 50th annual Kragen O'Reilly NHRA Winternationals at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, Calif. "I told them 'Hell no!' Somebody will take it and then you earn it back. My job is to get it back.
"There's always a lot of other kids out here. But so is John Force. I will be back in 2010, and I will do some real damage."
The 14-time NHRA Funny Car champion proved good to his word by besting Ron Capps in the final to claim his first overall event win since he triumphed at Topeka, Kan., on June 1, 2008. It was the perfect way for Force to kick off his 25th anniversary season with sponsor Castrol Motor Oil, and it served notice that at age 60, the old man still has the bite to match his legendary bark.
"I don't know how I got around Ron Capps," Force exclaimed after his 4.124-second holeshot victory. "He's a great kid. I'm excited. This ain't just about winning a race, it's about coming back from the dead -- broken legs, broken arms, and I'm alive again."
Force was referring to the injuries he suffered in a devastating September 2007 accident at the Fall Nationals in Ennis, Texas. Although he posted that win at Topeka nine months later, Force finally admitted Sunday that he wasn't fully recovered until recently.
"My trainer told me if I kept working I could get my legs back," Force said in a release. "He told me I had to keep building my legs so I could push on that gas. My leg was shaking so bad last year holding the clutch and you can't drive like that. But I wasn't going to cry about it. I didn't want you all to know I was so screwed up.
"Over the winter I hit it harder, and all of a sudden I had strength to get through the day," he said. "It's awesome. I remember I got on the treadmill and I couldn't run for two minutes. Now I can go for an hour. Man, this is big for me."
Force's path to victory included a tense quarterfinal victory over his daughter, Ashley Force Hood, who herself had to deal with the stress of having her chute come unpacked prior to the run. After some confusion about whether the race would be waved off, she recovered well to post a 4.187-second pass (despite no burnout and a slow 0.178-second reaction), but her father beat her by clocking the fastest run of the finals with a 4.120-second effort.
"I'm just glad he ran a 12 because I really screwed up on my leaving," Force Hood remarked on the telecast. "After all that, the car goes down the track but the driver sucks and takes an hour to leave."
Force also had had to deal with significant changes at John Force Racing, including cutting back from four cars to three. Mike Neff, who was victorious at Pomona in November 2009 in his last start driving for JFR, now serves as co-crew chief with longtime Force ally Austin Coil.
"Mike Neff coming in to this team has been a great thing to bring some youth into our organization," Coil told a TV reporter. "John Medlen's first in-house chassis is obviously working just absolutely wonderful. The whole crew of guys we've got this year is just a big breath of fresh air from the past. I'm a very happy man."
"We have shuffled our team around," Force confirmed in a team release. "Austin Coil and Bernie Fedderly have teamed up with Mike Neff. All of them, together with Jimmy Prock, John Medlen, Guido [Dean Antonelli] and Ron Douglas, were in the think tank trying to figure me out. Just seeing the younger generation with the older generation works. My change worked."
Force revealed on the telecast that he also got a bit of race-day motivation from his wife, Laurie.
"I said to my wife this morning, 'Baby, it's getting tough,'" he recounted. "She said, 'I've never heard that out of you -- ever. It's Valentine's Day -- get out there and win that thing for me.'
"So Laurie, this one's for you!"
Although it was just the first round of 23, the Winternationals demonstrated that 2010 could be a vintage year for drag racing. Mike Edwards continued his mastery of the Pro Stock class, posting a relatively comfortable victory over Greg Anderson. And Larry Dixon and Al-Anabi Racing showed that they intend to end Tony Schumacher's streak of consecutive Top Fuel titles at six.
Dixon and Schumacher met in the semifinals at Pomona and produced the best race of the weekend, both posting identical 3.836-second, 317.05 mph runs, with Dixon emerging victorious thanks to his superior .068-second (versus .085-second) reaction time.
Dixon's 3.808-second/316.60 mph effort topped Doug Kalitta (3.848/310.05) in the final.

This is my second LaCrosse Down Comforter from The Company Store. The first one lasted 10 years, was laundered fairly regularly ( always had a duvet cover on it ) and held up beautifully! The cotton cover holds up well and I believe is the same thread count as TCS cotton sheets, which I also love. I'm not a huge fan of high thread count silky, satin type sheets, but prefer crisp clean cotton, just my preference. My last down comforter was a medium weight and the new down comforter is a light weight and is plenty warm for me , but My body temp is usually on the warm side anyway, so I'm really comfortable .

This is not my first bedding purchase from the Company Store, but it is my first comforter purchase. I have been so impressed with the quality of products. First of all, let's get it out of the way right up front: If you want super-soft, drapey, and silent, this is NOT the product for you. Don't get it, then complain. The shell is almost a cotton taffeta; it's super crisp, and rustles when it's moved. I like that in bedding. The construction is superb, and the down is evenly distributed. Running hands over the shell, I could see that it might pick up some lint and look shabby if purchased in a dark color. However, I wanted this exclusively for use within a duvet cover. For a down item, which should not really be washed all that often, this is a better way to use one's investment anyway. Again, if you want soft, you'll need to ante up to CS's sateen covered items. If you like crisp, this is the way to go. I have not laundered it yet, so we'll see as time goes by.

Reviewer: from Tucson, AZ
As described, this blanket very generously sized when new, but even though I followed the care instructions, it has shrunk a little with each washing. In 3 - 4 years, my king size has gone from 110" x 98" to 96" x 88", leaving only a precious 2 or 3 inches to tuck under the foot of our thinnest TempurPedic mattress. The texture has also changed from the thinner, silky original feeling to a thicker, more cottony feel. But I do love this blanket because with layering, it's perfect for year round use in southern Arizona, so I will order again and hope it is still available the next time I need to replace it.

This blanket is exactly what I was looking for. I got the Queen size in white. I have washed it already - in cold water and dried it on low - and it came out good as new. No discernible shrinkage. It is perfect for the Texas summers. Also, our cat sleeps on our bed and there have been no snags. I will get more in other colors. Love it!

First bought the Copper color & loved it. Very luxurious & absorbent but looked a bit more Salmon than Copper color. Still a pretty tone so I'm keeping them. My second order was for Aqua Haze & Shore Blue. Neither color matched the colors shown online. They were more designer colors like a hazy Blue & a different less defined Aqua. Returned both sets for credit. even though the quality was top notch. Want colors that are defined. In other words Navy should look like Navy. I recommend these with caution that the colors while pretty may not match the ones online.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Denver Broncos nearly won the AFC West division crown.
Then their game against the Carolina Panthers started.
The Broncos played flat Sunday in a game they hit the field not thinking they absolutely needed to win. When the Broncos left their locker room Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs were in full control of the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers, who had to win Sunday to keep their AFC West title hopes alive, scored two touchdowns in the final 79 seconds to beat Kansas City 22-21.
The wild comeback was completed when Denver was on the field. The Broncos suddenly found out they had to win and it was clear the team wasn't up to the task.
The offense committed two key turnovers in the first half and the Denver defense was exploited by Carolina's passing game.
The Broncos were clearly caught by surprise by San Diego's comeback win. Now, they have to regroup and try to win the division in Week 16. Denver hosts Buffalo and San Diego plays at Tampa Bay.

Medical collections: google "hipaa process" and follow the instructions to a T. a TEE. Getting those off will help tremendously.

Do not throw your money away to let someone else do it for you. You care about your credit more than anyone else ever could, so will be more passionate about the process. Yes, it can be frustrating, but very rewarding when you look at the numbers and say, "I did that".

I was told to post this in this forum so here's a copy and paste from the original forum post.
Instead of having complete posts show on my homepage, I only want excerpts to show as well as the title and the image. How can I do that?
Also, I'm trying to organize my posts in my tabs at the top of my page. My site is
For example, I want a post about Memphis to show up under
Destinations->North America-Memphis
In the Memphis page I want excerpts to show as well as the title and photo. At the end of the excerpts I can link to the full blog post (pretty much the same as the home page...I just want it organized under my destinations tab at the top menu).
Sorry if this has been asked before. I tried searching and tried a few things but couldn't quite figure it out. I'm using the Heatmap adaptive theme if that matters.

Who Is "The Walking Dead's" Ezekiel - And Why Does He Have a Pet Tiger?
Comic Books, TV
Every day this month I'm going to feature a current comic book writing "star," someone who I think is a very good writer.
I'm mostly going to try to keep from the biggest names as much as possible, because, really, do I need to talk more about the awesomeness of Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and Warren Ellis?
Here is the archive of previously featured writers.
Today we look at a great writer who is also quite an artist!
Like Raina Telgemeier, I featured Don Rosa in the Month of Art Stars (here is his entry), but as talented as an artist as Rosa is (and he is really an excellent artist), I find his writing to be more of a draw for me in his work than his artwork.
When I think about Rosa's comic book work, the word that often comes to my mind is "balance," in that Rosa seems to have achieved near-perfect balance with his work – he balances writing historical fiction with writing adventure fiction, never letting either one of them overpower the other – he balances writing kid-friendly comics with writing truly all-ages comics, never letting either one overpower the other – and in perhaps his most impressive piece of balance, he manages to balance a meticulous sense of continuity along with a significant sense of fun in his work.
Nowhere is this more evident than in his classic collection, the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck.
In case you're unfamiliar with the project, it is a collection of 12 issues of Uncle Scrooge by Rosa where he meticulously details the, well, life and times of Scrooge McDuck, but going by the history that Scrooge's creator, the legendary Carl Barks, laid out for Scrooge in his many years writing Scrooge in the comics.
So what Rosa did here was to take all of the casual remarks made by Barks over the years and turn all of them into a cohesive narrative. Such an endeavor sounds foolishly attentive to continuity, no? However, Rosa never lets the story feel like anything but an engaging adventure story.
Along the way, Rosa makes sure to get in what is a passion of his – historical fiction within the framework of the Uncle Scrooge adventure. Rosa's sense of history is excellent, and the way he works actual history into his stories is inspired.
If it was just this comic alone, I would consider having Rosa on this list, but he has also produced a great deal of entertaining Uncle Scrooge comic books over the years besides that classic storyline.
He has become the definitive heir to Carl Barks' throne as "The Duck Man."
I only wish I had a short story to give you a demonstration of his skills…
Brian, your spellchecker swapped "thrown" for "throne"…
It's writers like Don Rosa and Carl Barks that made Uncle Scrooge by far and away the most engaging of ALL the Disney character comics… Sure, the character himself has oodles of potential, but it takes a good writer to reveal that potential and do something with it… Thank you for reminding me to pick that book up.
I got to meet Don Rosa last year at DragonCon. In addition to being a great writer and artist, he's a sweet and entertaining fellow. I definitely applaud this selection.
Love Rosa. I highly recommend people check out the two-fers that Gemstone has been putting out lately. They reprint a Barks story and the Rosa "sequel" in the same issue.
I love Don Rosa. Not only telling engaging stories but his pacing and rythmn don't meander from the overall plot. Like Moore (I know it's an odd comparison but hear me out) the details he puts in his stories, drawing items in the background, etc, gives the readers multiple readings. Believe me, I can pull out a Rosa comic and re-read the stories and still find something new.
Excellent choice, Bee-Cee.
I also got to meet Don Rosa last fall at our local con, and I'll second John's appraisal.
It was the first time my wife had gone to a convention with me, and being fans of the Disney ducks, we decided to get a Don Rosa print as a souvenir (you know, if addition to all the comics I was buying for myself :)).
He was gracious and goofy in a fun way, and helped make the con all the more memorable for both of us.
Don Rosa's one of those people where I buy EVERYthing they do because it never disappoints. I just wish thew duck comics were as revered here as overeas because the guy should be treating like unto a Duck G-d. His eyesight has been failing pretty badly lately which is very unfortunate. He doesn't imitate Carl Barks but he shows him and his stories tremendous respect. Yay Don!
Are these collected anywhere?
I'd love to pick them up, I was big into these characters when I was wee.
The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck as well as the companion TPB are both available, Dunc. Well worth checking out!
Hey Teebore, I got one of those prints too! I got the one with Donald surrounded by thousands of comics.
Along with Barks, Rosa is the creator who got me into comics.
Here is how nice a guy Rosa is: A few years ago, he was at Heroes Con. My friend Doug, a far bigger Rosa fan than I, could not make it. Rosa IMMEDIATELY agreed to let me call Doug up so he could talk with him for a few minutes. I got Doug a "Son of the Sun" print, which is still hanging on his wall.
In some ways, I feel that Rosa is a stonger overall creator than Barks. His art is more detailed, and his stories are more intricate, with a heavier empahsis on plot and emotional complexity. In addition, he draws even more heavily from real-world history, and makes that an integral part of the story.
His weakness, I feel, is that he's sometimes hamstrung by comparisons to Barks, or at least by the pressure of staying true to "his" universe. By that, I mean that the vast majority of his stories have been sequels/hommages to Barks' work, and I think he's not giving himself enough credit for his own considerable abilitiy to invent new ideas and characters.
I've read he's retiring due to vision problems, which is a great loss to comics. He's much better-known in Europe than the, but I think he's sold himself short in terms of realizing just how many fans he has over here, and how many people truly love his work. A great creator, and a fine human being all around.
Cool, I'll add them to the wishlist.
Agree that Rosa should be better known here in the US. But sales on the Gemstone issues are always under 5000 copies each month. That's so disappointing. There are usually 3-6 stories in each issue, often 1 or 2 of them being by Rosa or Barks. 60-61 pages of story in each $7.99 issue is about the same as 22 pages for $2.99, but apparently people just look at the high price and walk away. Gemstone tries regular sized comics for $2.99, but had to stop doing them as not being cost efficient.
Being one of those silly europeans, seeing Don Rosa as a 'smaller name' is just bizarre.
I mean, my mom doesn't know who Warren Ellis is.
Viking Bastard, I agree. I went to a convention here in Norway to listen to a Rosa-panel a few years back, and there was a fairly long line at his signing table. He was easily the biggest star they had that year, and later in the day I heard another American (I don't know who) ask someone he was talking to "Who is that Don Rosa-guy?". It's really unfortunate, as he deserves much more acclaim than he is getting.
I don't know that he was ever a "superstar" here in America, even in the 80's when you could get Disney comics for 95 cents at the newstand or grocery store spinner rack. People just don't dig the Ducks over here.
Aqualad, my wife and I got the print with Donald's headshot in the center, superimposed with smaller headshots showing off his various moods.

I made these on New Year's Eve. They really came good -- nice and crunchy. The only problem was that I ate too many myself.

Wherever Keelie Sheridan went in Albany this past weekend, she was greeted with shouts of "Brooklyn!"
Representing the borough in the Miss New York pageant, held in the state's capital, the Manhattan Beach resident was amazed at how many shoutouts she got while she and the other New York competitors went about town, sporting their sashes emblazoned with the areas they were from.
"It really seemed like no matter where you'd go, you met someone who lived in Brooklyn or was from Brooklyn," says Sheridan, 23, a student at Empire State College studying English and theater. "I would be sitting in a restaurant and from across the restaurant someone would yell 'Brooklyn!' That didn't happen to anyone else."
One of 21 contestants who competed for the title of Miss New York, who then goes on to vie for the title of Miss America, Sheridan was the fourth runner up. Placing in the top five was a marked difference from last year, when she competed in Miss New York representing her home town of Montgomery and Fulton counties in upstate New York and didn't make the top 10.
"I felt I had a lot more preparation and a lot more support from my local community this time around," said Sheridan, whose "dream team" of Brooklyn sponsors included Bikram Bay Ridge Yoga and Bend and Bloom in Park Slope, Bond Street Studio, Pacific Tanning Salon in Park Slope, and Bensonhurst Dental. "It made a tremendous difference."
In their quest for the crown, contestants competed in categories such as talent (Sheridan showed off her Irish step dancing skills), swim suit, evening wear, and interview, one of Miss Brooklyn's favorite portions of the competition.
"Sitting in the audience, you don't get to hear contestants talk," says Sheridan. "It's nice to give the audience a feel for who you are as a person, and relate a personality to the person that they see on stage."
And while the outgoing Miss New York, Leigh−Taylor Smith, is a former Miss Brooklyn herself, having won last year's local pageant, Sheridan says the queen didn't show any favoritism in giving out advice over the course of the competition.
Smith ultimately passed along her crown to Miss Westchester's Alyse Zwick, a 23−year−old CUNY student from Scarsdale.
Always a gracious beauty queen, Sheridan said Zwick will make a "fantastic Miss New York."
"I could have seen every single one of [the contestants] as Miss New York," said Sheridan. "It was really heartening to see the caliber of the young women we have in New York."
Also representing Brooklyn this past weekend was 17−year−old Melanie Gowrie, a LaGuardia High School student who was the second runner up in the Outstanding Teen competition.
While she lost out on the crown, Sheridan will be coming back to Brooklyn with $1,000 in scholarship money, as well as other gifts from sponsors, and will continue to serve in her role as Miss Brooklyn.
Before she starts up school again in the fall, the summer will keep her busy, as she plans on developing an arts program at the Block Institute in Gravesend, serving as a guest ringmaster at the Coney Island Boom A Ring circus, participating in a summer reading series at the Coney Island branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, and working with the Sean Casey Animal Rescue in Bay Ridge.
Getting closer and closer to the top, Sheridan still hasn't taken her eyes off the prize. At 23, she is still eligible to compete for one for more year, though it would have to be through a different regional pageant, such as Miss Metropolitan.
Ideally, she would love to continue to try and represent Brooklyn.
"I'm convinced I have the best borough," said Sheridan. "It's the best part of New York to represent."

The Livestrong campaign has for a while now been releasing collaborative sneakers with the help of Nike. The black/yellow/white colorway now instantly makes sneakerheads and non-sneakerheads alike think about the Livestrong initiative whether Livestrong is officially involved or not. In this case, it most certainly is. The Livestrong x Nike Air Max+ Tailwind 2010 has been made available from the online FinishLine store. In addition to the black, yellow, and white we're accustomed to see in these cases, there is a healthy dosage of grey mesh on the toe box and tongue as well. Is this another successful collaborative effort by Livestrong and Nike?

That means National Opt-Out Day — the day travelers can say "hell no" to a scanner that may or may not be able to detect bombs in a body cavity in order to say "okay, fine" to "extended pat-downs" that definitely don't address body cavities — has arrived! TSA administrator John Pistole says that airports are fully staffed and prepared to deal with the potential delays involved with the protests, but cautions, "There's a certain unpredictability about all this." Yes, like will patriots come already prepared with a catchphrase to rival "If you touch my junk, I'll have you arrested"? Or will the line slow down while they tweet about their experience and upload a video, waiting for it to go viral?
While passengers fret over getting ogled or groped, Fred Burton, a former CIA and Secret Service agent who now works with the global intelligence firm Stratfor, wonders why so few people are asking why now. "TSA didn't wake up and say let's do full-body pat-downs; they are dealing with a very specific and viable threat that is very serious," he told KXAN in Austin, adding, "Remember, governments are reactionary; very rarely are they proactive." Hmmm, that certainly sounds like the government we know — at least the shrinking-civil-liberties-for-a-looming-unspecified-danger part.
As for today's boycott, its initial organizer, Brian Sodergren, says National Opt-Out Day doesn't end in line at the airport, urging Americans to continue the conversation around their holiday meal.
Families should sit around the dinner table, eating turkey, talking about their experience — what constitutes an unreasonable search, how forceful of a pat down will we allow on certain areas of our body, and that of our children, and how much privacy are we will to give up for flying?
Well, Nana, I prefer a firmer open-handed pat on my genitals, but more of a light graze on the upper thighs. Pass the stuffing?

This edition of the textbook of physiology for medical students continues along the lines set in the first edition. In the words of its authors, "It must expound ideas taken from several sciences applied to physiology; it must explain the general principles of physiology and the functions of the different organs and systems, as well as their correlations; finally, it must integrate information obtained by the clinical and experimental study of altered function." Furthermore, it should emphasize the constant process of advancement and not be a catalogue of completed statements, and statements should be supported, as far as it is practical, by the actual proof or evidence for them. Finally, although any provincial presentation of physiology would be unthinkable, a slight extra emphasis is intended on the work of Latin America and especially of the authors' group. In general, these objectives are attained and the volume is an effective balance
