"Ghostbusters": 11 Things the Sequel Needs to Do to Succeed
Today's entry is written by Ian Astheimer. And it's loaded with images! Slow connections, beware!
Today's artist is a child prodigy turned Scream Award winner. (Archive.)
314. Sean Phillips
Most artists start putting pencil (and ink) to paper at an early age. Few of them are published by age fifteen, though. Even fewer go on to draw virtually every character at the big two.
While attending art school and after graduating, Phillips worked continuously on girls comics, like Judy and Nikki. His art took on a heavy Jaime Hernandez vibe at the time, but discovering Love and Rockets will do that to an artist.
Shortly thereafter, Phillips moved over to that staple of the British comics diet, 2000AD (and its sister title, Judge Dredd Magazine), where he drew a smattering of stories and co-created (with John Smith) Devlin Waugh, whom Wikipedia describes thusly: "a camp homosexual exorcist priest, employed by the future Vatican City, with medals in flower-arranging and Olympic high-diving, a bodybuilder's physique and a cutting line in humour – and his main motivation was simply to do 'Anything to offset the dreadful ennui of it all!'"
From slice of life girl comics to the fully painted adventures of a gay bodybuilder? I'm pretty sure that's the very definition of "range."
Phillips was also part of "The British Invasion," working for Vertigo on everything from Hellblazer (with, among others, Jamie Delano and Eddie Campbell) to The Invisibles (with fellow Reason to Love Comics, Grant Morrison) to The Minx (with Peter Milligan). Each was trippier than the last, and Phillips' evolved as well, becoming looser and grittier.
In 2001, Joe Casey tapped Phillips to handle the art on Wildcats, volume 2. Gone was the "Covert Action Team." In its stead was a post-modern series about life after superhero-dom, about life without direction, about life without a mentor, about life without love. The themes were heavy, and Phillips captured them — and the frequent moments of action — with aplomb. It was a perfect meeting of minds, one of the best collaborations in comics. (And, man, is it tough to choose pages to show from that stellar run! Every page was outstanding!)
After 'cats wrapped, Phillips segued into Sleeper and found similar synergy with Ed Brubaker. While depicting Holden Carver's plight as a mole in a supercriminal operation, Phillips proved himself a master storyteller. The pages just flowed, man! Each page was anchored by an image or two, and the other panels were interlocking insets that mingled with the anchor to create perhaps the easiest comic on the eye ever. The design was, flat out, brilliant.
2006 proved doubly fruitful for the artist. Not only was he instrumental in bringing the zombie craze to a head, with writer Robert Kirkman, in Marvel Zombies, but he and Brubaker teamed again on the critically acclaimed Criminal, a pulp anthology of sorts. To the surprise of perhaps no one, Phillips was a natural fit for both series.
Criminal also features text pieces about inspirational noir works, a section that affords Phillips the opportunity to break out the paints and create pin-ups.
On top of drawing two series, painting covers for Criminal, and handling the art for the backmatter, Phillips also freelances as a cover artist. Currently, he's painting covers for Vertigo's Vinyl Underground.
Even his shot-down cover concepts are great!
Phillips acts as an inker on occasion, as well, most recently working over Rick Leonardi's pencils on JLA Classified. Phillips even took a crack at inking Kirby for kicks.
Phillips has one art book out, Halflife, featuring life drawings, and one on the way, Intersections, featuring paintings, collages, process pieces, and other work, with Duncan Fegredo.
Finally (for now), I'd be remiss if I didn't showcase Phillips' process. He goes from loose thumbnails, to magic marker roughs (in blue above), straight to inks. There's no pencil stage. All the fine-tuning and noodling, all the detail work, occurs in the inking stage. It's incredible.
And, all that is merely scratching the surface of Phillips' massive, impressive resumé.
Sean Phillips has a website, a workblog, and a ton of art for sale.
[…] 314. Sean Phillips (guest-written by Ian Astheimer) […]
[…] That forward thinking was never more prevalent than during his tenure on Wildcats. After co-writing a handful of the second volume's issues with Scott Lobdell, Casey's run, with Sean Phillips, began in earnest with #8. If you were into puns, you might say it got off to a bang, with Kenyan — an evil immortal alien — eating a bullet, marking the end of the 'cats crusade against evil aliens. Lord Emp, the leader of the Covert Action Team, had sought Kenyan out to bring about his own death, a process which would also kill Emp's murderer. Desiring to die, to ascend to whatever higher plane, Emp turned to Spartan, whose android body couldn't technically be killed. Emp's death marked the start of an entire overhaul for his team, who subsequently eschewed covert action. […]
He also did a book in the European series '7' (each book is a one-shot done by a different artist/writer team but revolves around a group of seven people). His was '7 Psychpaths', in which seven mental patients are employed by British intelligence to assasinate Hitler during WWII. It had the usual excellent Sean Philips artwork, check out a page from the Dutch translation here: http://www.silvesterstrips.nl/new/uitgave.php?uid=205
Ah! So, that's what 7 Psychopaths was for. I wasn't sure.
Thanks for the info, J!

AP is an excellent plugin, thanks.
I have only one gripe, and I don't think it even lies with AP itself. Because I only want to restrict my personal blog to family and friends and rather than ask them all to register individually, I envisaged creating one subscriber account for everyone to use. Unfortunately this means that if one of them forgets the password they might click on the password reset option, locking everyone else out of the site.
Thanks again.

After undergoing knee surgery in the fall, Amarillo High's Bryson Conder waited five months before he could make his first competitive jump.
A delay of 2 hours between his preliminary long jump round and the finals did not bother him at all.
Conder launched himself to a personal best and the boys long jump title Friday in the Amarillo Relays Meet of Champions at Dick Bivins Stadium.
Amarillo High's Luke Johnson won the shot put and finished second to Lubbock Monterey's Andrew Mooney in the discus. Levelland's Justin Turner won the high jump.
The meet continues today with the 3,200-meter finals at 10 a.m., the field-event finals at 11 a.m. and the balance of the running finals at 1:30 p.m.
Conder leaped 22 feet, 10ae inches to set a personal best by about five inches. Phillip Williams of Clovis, N.M., battled a slippery board and took second with a jump of 22-0.
Patton Springs' Mason Pierce was third with a 21-11.
"That was my best by far, Conder said. "This is my second meet back. I felt good. I guess I had some good adrenelin pumping.
Conder jumped in the first preliminary flight.
His event-winning distance came on his second preliminary attempt. Conder fouled on his first and passed on his last of three jumps in the preliminaries.
After the first flight of preliminaries, a rainstorm forced a 30-minute delay that knocked the entire schedule back. The event suffered another 30-minute delay waiting for the last jumper to finish his hurdles preliminary.
"It wasn't that tough at first, but all the standing around was hard, Conder said. "I went back once, and they were still going in the prelims, so I just hung around and waited.
Williams jumped in the last preliminary flight. He went through a scare on his first preliminary attempt when he slipped on the takeoff board and landed face-first in the pit.
"The board felt like it was made out of plastic, and I'm used to using a wooden one, Williams said. "My foot slid out from under me and I went with it. I ate a lot of dirt, but I was OK.
"That was a shame because Coach told me it would have been a school record if I hadn't slipped.
Williams qualified with a 21-3 on his second preliminary attempt.
He fouled on his third. In the final, Williams moved his takeoff point to one of the painted triple jump takeoff lines behind the long jump takeoff board.
"It wasn't that big of a deal. I use those lines all the time in practice, Williams said. "All the slipping kind of knocked me off balance. It kind of messed up my rhythm. This was only about my fifth-best jump this year.
The finals proved anticlimatic as Conder's preliminary jump stood. Williams managed a 22-0, a 21-0 and fouled on his final attempt. Conder passed on his first attempt, went 22-1 on his second and 22-0 on his third in the finals.
"When I saw there were going to be 45 jumpers and who was going to be here, I was pretty pumped, Conder said. "This was a big competition and a pretty loaded field.
Johnson won the shot with a distance of 57-10, outduelling Charles Purdy of Clovis with a 53-4. In the discus, Mooney turned in a throw of 173-8, barely clipping Johnson's 173-5.
"I did pretty well. I won the shot and I lost in the discus by just three inches, Johnson said. "It was pretty cold out here. I kind of like to throw when it's a little hot. It helps keep me loose.
Turner won the high jump with a height of 6-10, and Plainview's Jamar Wall finished second with a 6-8. Wall also finished fourth in the high jump at 21-1.

Since August, I have been embarking on a new career of sorts. I agreed to teach two lecture courses at Delta College in culinary arts for the fall semester. This is my first attempt teaching long-term courses and I am finding it very interesting and very challenging at times. My biggest challenge has been finding the energy, motivation and time to put together the materials for the week's lecture while recovering from pneumonia.
Just before my long 10-day break around Labor Day, I noticed a tickle in my throat and not wanting to waste any of my break time, I scheduled a doctor's appointment that day. Needless to say I spent those 10 days and seven more in bed very sick. I was told it would take a good six to seven weeks to fully recover and they weren't kidding. My dear mother-in-law helped to take care of my toddler as well as me and she cleared my calendar of all commitments-including the News-Sentinel, and other appointments, so I wouldn't even be tempted to try and act like I wasn't sick.

GeneCards Summary for SCARNA4 Gene
SCARNA4 (Small Cajal Body-Specific RNA 4) is an RNA Gene, and is affiliated with the scaRNA class.
fRNAdb sequence ontologies for SCARNA4 Gene - the ORGUL cluster for this gene includes several descriptions:
snoRNA: A snoRNA (small nucleolar RNA) is any one of a class of small RNAs that are associated with the eukaryotic nucleus as components of small nucleolar ribonucleoproteins. They participate in the processing or modifications of many RNAs, mostly ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) though snoRNAs are also known to target other classes of RNA, including spliceosomal RNAs, tRNAs, and mRNAs via a stretch of sequence that is complementary to a sequence in the targeted RNA.
Small Cajal body specific RNA 15: scaRNAs are a specific class of small nuclear RNAs which localise to the Cajal bodies and guide the modification of RNA polymerase II transcribed spliceosomal RNAs U1, U2, U4, U5 and U12 [1]. ACA45 belongs to the H/ACA box class of guide RNAs as it has the predicted hairpin-hinge-hairpin-tail structure, the conserved H/ACA-box motifs and is found associated with GAR1 [2]. ACA45 is predicted to guide the pseudouridylation of residue U37 of the U2 spliceosomal snRNA [2].

Beijing Envoy: Accept Oil-Patch Capital with Chinese Characteristics
By Chester Dawson
China's ambassador to Canada urged the two countries to work more closely to develop their energy industries, and delivered a veiled threat to accept state-owned investors or risk losing out.
"We should have more breakthroughs in energy trade," Chinese Ambassador to Canada Zhang Junsai said in a speech in Calgary on Thursday.
Noting Canada's emergence as a global supplier of oil and gas just as China has become the world's biggest energy consumer, he called on Canada to "play to its full strengths" by exporting to more foreign markets and welcoming international capital.
Alberta Energy Minister Ken Hughes concurred with that sentiment in opening remarks, calling Chinese capital critical to developing Western Canada's natural resources. Courting investment from China is part of the province's stepped up efforts to find new outlets for Alberta's oil and gas amid reduced demand from the U.S.
But Mr. Zhang said the Chinese money will come with strings attached and criticized Canada's efforts to restrict the role of foreign state-owned enterprises in its oil patch.
"China-Canada energy cooperation can't go fast with(out) SOEs because almost all the big energy companies in China are SOEs," Mr. Zhang said, adding Canadian policy in this area will influence Chinese energy firms' "decisions whether to come here or (go) to other countries."
Prompted by concern about takeover bids from government-controlled firms for Canada-based oil and gas assets, Ottawa has proposed an effective ban on SOEs buyouts of oil sands producing companies.
Speaking to a packed ballroom of Calgary's movers and shakers, the Chinese ambassador showcased recent M&A deals by Chinese SOEs such as energy giants Cnooc and China Petrochemical Corp., known as Sinopec. He noted these companies' Canadian takeover targets, Nexen Inc. and Daylight Energy Ltd., have kept their local management teams and accelerated development of oil and gas reserves.
Mr. Zhang said more deals may be in the pipeline by China's SOEs "if they find that there's no political politics and other hurdles" to such investment.
A Canadian government spokesman wasn't immediately available to comment.
"Chinese investors do not come to Canada just to grab this country's wealth of resources, but to participate in business," Mr. Zhang said.

I am migrating from WSS 3.0 to SharePoint Server 2010. In WSS in the Web Part Gallery, I could open .xml files for a custom Web Part in the browser, as long as they had the < ?xml... > tag. With 2010, the Name field in the Web Part Gallery links to the .webpart file (which is still xml). But when I click the Name, it prompts me to download it. How do I display the .webpart file in the browser instead?
It turns out the answer is, SharePoint 2010 forces certain file types to be downloaded, even if you associate the file extension (.webpart in this example) with Internet Explorer. I found the answer here:
The author gives detailed instructions for excluding a specific extension, so it is displayed in the browser instead of being downloaded. However, if you are working in a Development environment, and want to just turn off the security setting, follow these steps:

Product Description
Feel Euphoria marque un changement radical dans la carrière du progressif Spock's Beard : leur leader, le chanteur Neal Morse, est parti mener une carrière solo, abandonnant son rôle au batteur Nick D'Virgilio, comme Phil Collins le fit au sein Genesis après le départ de Peter Gabriel. Moins ambitieux que le précédent et double CD Snow, cet opus ratisse large, à l'image de l'ensemble des goûts de chacun des membres d'un groupe surpris par la démission du principal compositeur. C'est donc quasiment d'un nouveau départ dont il s'agit. Une longue suite épique, "A Guy Named Sid", laisse augurer du meilleur quant à leur avenir. --Hervé Comte --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1. Is there a good plugin out there for a wordpress mobile admin? Right now I am using Wphone, but it is no longer supported and I'm just not entirely happy with it.
2. Is there a plugin or something to enable mobile photo uploads to my website? I've been using NextGen gallery (on my website) and am very happy with it. However I cannot seem to figure out a way to upload photos to my site via my phone. I do not really want to start using an external service like Flickr, but I can't find a way to (mobile) upload to my own site.

Steve Sunu, also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of editor/writer that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. His range once roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east along the western boundary of the Appalachian Mountains. Due to commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century, Steve nearly went extinct and is today restricted to a few national parks and other reserves.

I haven't touched any of the settings since January, but only updated WP, so Im assuming something happened that disabled it, is anyone else experiencing this and knows how to fix it?

Hotel Tuscolana was just right for our needs. It has a very local feel as there are really not many tourist attractions nearby. Public transportation is a short walk from the hotel. The bed was very comfortable, breakfast was great, and there is free wifi for guests. Next time we come to Italy, though, we will be more fluent in the Italian language. Some of the hotel personnel spoke English, but some did not, and I think in general natives of Rome have the attitude that if you're visiting Italy, you should speak Italian. The hotel was very clean and well-ordered, the bathroom was small but adequate. The shower was a little low on water pressure. There's a safe in the room. Via Appia Nuova is a short walk from the hotel, with many shops to look in. If you go, take a walk up Via Appia Nuova to Re Di Roma. Down one of the streets off of this piazza is the best Tiramisu at a place called Pompi. We stayed two weeks at Hotel Tuscolana and felt we received outstanding value for our money. We would definitely stay there again. ...

Its outside of the "walls" of Rome but has great access to the Metro and the Tuscan Train Station. The rooms were comfortable, clean and the bathrooms big for Europe. The staff was very helpful and the breakfast was better than average for European standards. It has an elegance about it yet it was simple and very affordable.

Ridiculous process, but both plugins have become very valuable to maintaining the "friendliness" of my site for users. I just have to put up with it until they learn to place nice.

Product Description
From Amazon
There seems to be an unspoken rule among mystery writers that once the author has created a successful character, the obligation to fans demands regular installments in the hero's life history, whatever the author's literary aspirations. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was famously unsuccessful at killing off Sherlock Holmes and resurrected his detective in response to public outcry. Michael Connelly's police procedural series featuring Harry Bosch has garnered numerous top mystery awards, including the coveted Edgar. But, strangely, it is his deviations from Bosch, including The Poet and Blood Work, that have drawn the biggest readerships--and have won awards of their own to boot (The Poet was honored with the 1997 Anthony Award). Now, once again, Connelly follows up the success of a Bosch book, Angels Flight, with a non-series tale that pushes Connelly's already impressive body of work into new territory.
Void Moon traces the path of Cassie Black, a gifted thief who struggles with the temptation of "outlaw juice" (the burning desire to live the fast life of crime and payoffs) even while she regularly attends her probation meetings. It's not that hawking Porsches to newly flush young Hollywood males isn't satisfying, but... well, it isn't. After years away, she returns to her old striking grounds in Las Vegas for one last big mark hoping to pave her way into a new life. But Cassie discovers that her old Las Vegas is a new town with a new skyline and new (and more deadly) bad guys; it is also a place haunted by the ghost of her lover-partner Max. When her take proves to be 10 times larger than she imagined, her road to freedom runs afoul of the Mob while a morally questionable--and openly vicious--PI sniffs her trail.
With its attractive central character, meticulous plot, and glitzy packaging, Void Moon seems perfectly poised for the New York Times bestsellers list. That is not to say, however, that Connelly has "dumbed down" his usual presentation. The novel displays Connelly's stunning ability to breathe reality into his fiction with the subtle details that can only come from careful research and his years of experience reporting on crime for the L.A. Times. What other author has so lovingly described the aftermath of crime? The jail sentence, recidivism, the numbing visits to the parole officer where "she held the plastic cup she would have to squat over and fill while an office trainee, dubbed the wizard because of the nature of her monitoring duty, watched to make sure it was her own urine going into the container." While we Connelly fans are always eager to read the next Bosch, once again we're not disappointed with Connelly's "vacation." --Patrick O'Kelley --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Her target is a high roller at The Cleopatra, a Las Vegas casino that has seen better days. The ninja style high-tech caper is wildly successful but Black is aghast when she realizes that her haul is easily ten times what she was expecting. "It is possible to steal too much!" Clearly she has stepped into the middle of a mob transaction and she knows that the Cuban mafia will pursue her to the very ends of the earth to recover their money and to kill her as an example to all who might presume to get in their way.
"Void Moon" is a fabulous diversion from Connelly's wildly successful Harry Bosch series and works magnificently as a stand-alone novel. Connelly's description of Black's outrageous theft right under the noses of the casino and hotel security safeguards is positively breathtaking. You'll never sleep well at night in a hotel again!Read more ›
Void Moon is a crime story that will teach you more than ever wanted to know about how to do a hot prowl (steal from someone who is sleeping in the room). Detailed sections explain how to take a lock apart so that it doesn't lock (but seems to be locked), crawl through the HVAC conduits, and install remote cameras to steal the combination to a safe. I know you've always wanted to know those things. As a bonus, you'll also learn how to do some simple sleight-of-hand magic tricks. Just to be sure you don't get bored, Mr. Connelly also teaches you about astrology (the "void moon" reference). Have you got all that?
All those details aside, Void Moon is a story about parolee Cassie Black who sells expensive sports cars for a living by playing up to "overnight geniuses" who have just signed with the studios for big bucks. She used to do hot prowls and misses the excitement. Suddenly, something shifts in her life, and she decides it's time to make a big score. The rest of the book describes her pursuit of that score and what results. Along the way, the plot deals heavily in synchronicity to reinforce the theme of "fate" in our lives.
Cassie Black is an appealing character is a story that has more unpleasant parts than pleasant ones. This story is perfect for those who like to be pessimistic by expecting bad things to happen. Her nemesis turns out to be an unusually unappealing psychopath. Here's where the story becomes drenched in unnecessary evil and gore. Yuck!
When we meet her, Cassie is working in a car dealership on LA's Sunset Boulevard. Although she spent time in prison in Nevada, she managed to have her parole transferred to LA and knows she was lucky to get the job. She suspects it's because the boss - Ray Morales - hopes their relationship will move beyond the professional. Her parole is due to run for two years and, although she's on minimun supervision and she has a very likeable parole officer in Thelma Kibble, Cassie is starting to get a little twitchy.
Cassie's past is only given away gradually : exactly what she was convicted for, who Max was and what happened to him and why a five year old girl called Jodie Shaw is so important. Cassie has been keeping a close eye on the Shaw family, and it's their proposed move to Paris that (apparently) causes Cassie's twitchiness. She's maybe a little too honest with Thelma in a parole meeting, even (foolishly) asking about the possibility if seeing out her parole in France. When it's made clear that isn't going to happen, her decision is made : one last job, with a big enough dividend to disappear on. She's barely out of her meeting with Thelma before she's on the phone to her old contact DH Reilly. DH (as in Dog House) is actually the Leo Renfro's alias and is someone she had worked closely with in the past. He had also practically raised his step-brother, Max.Read more ›

By Staff Sgt. Elvis UmanzorJuly 7, 2013
LOGAR PROVINCE, Afghanistan (July 7, 2013) -- Afghan National Security Forces are stepping up, preparing and training, against improvised explosive devices as they take full responsibility for security ahead of the U.S. Forces scheduled drawdown in 2014.
Improvised explosive devices, known as IEDs, are bombs, constructed and deployed by many unpredictable methods, sometimes placed in public areas, and can be detonated by any person, including children, threatening the Afghan citizens' ability to move freely in their country.
According to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan's 2012 Annual Report on Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict, IEDs remain the biggest conflict-related threat to the lives of Afghan children, women and men, and accounted for 33 percent of all Afghan civilian deaths and injuries in 2012.
In eastern Afghanistan, there are nine explosive ordnance disposal, or EOD, teams with the 731st EOD Company, out of Fort Stewart, Ga., who support the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, and other coalition forces, to advise and assist Afghan security forces to safely detect and dispose of the overwhelming number of IEDs placed by the enemies of Afghanistan.
Sgt. 1st Class Ryan Jaminet, an Inverness, Fla., native, and 1st Lt. Brent Telle, an Austin, Texas, native, both EOD specialists with the 731st EOD Company, conducted an IED familiarization and hands-on course for Afghan army and police members on Forward Operating Base Shank, from June 17 to July 4.
The course was conducted to help prepare 19 members from the Afghan Local Police, Afghan National Civil Order Police, Afghan National Police, and Afghan National Army to successfully complete the 22-week Afghan EOD school.
During the three-week course, the U.S. advisers covered EOD equipment and tactics to exploit IEDs that included demolition and reconnaissance principles. They also conducted practical exercises with bomb suits, x-ray systems, counter-IED robots, IED detection equipment, and techniques to render safe an IED.
The training concluded with a cumulative event where the Afghan National Security Forces members went through a course and used everything they learned during the class to complete the event.
Capt. Ashley Philbin, a Fort Stewart, Ga., resident, and the commander for 731st EOD Company, said it was important to know every part of the job because you never know what you are going to come across.
"It could be an IED, it could be [unexploded ordnance], it could be multiple ordnance you have to take care of," she said.
Afghan National Army, or ANA, Spc. Fatah Allah, a soldier with Route Clearance Company, 4th Infantry Brigade, 203rd Corps, said he looked forward to the course.
"It will add to my experience," he said. "It's important to find IEDs to help the people and secure the people of our country."
Jaminet, a platoon sergeant on his 3rd combat tour, said he didn't work with EOD certified ANA soldiers during his last tour in Afghanistan.
"The ANA were doing the EOD job, but they hadn't ever been through the school," he said. "We were training them the best we could and they were doing the best they could."
Jaminet said he was pleased there was an Afghan EOD school and more EOD technicians with the equipment they needed.
"Even after we go, they can keep training their own and produce their own EOD techs so they're not depending on us," he added.

Odd behavior in the More Link Customizer. The More links on the category pages are showing part of the text that appears in the Default More Link Text field when you first install SEO Ultimate -- the words "Continue reading" followed by that 8220 arrow is all that appears.
If I change "reading" to "rxxxeading" in the Default More Link Text field and click the Save Changes button, when I refresh a category page the More link still says "Continue reading" followed by that 8220 arrow.
When I go to a post and use the SEO Settings to try to override the More link, it still won't change.
To summarize: Only the first part of the pre-installed default value is appearing; and any attempt to change it has no effect.
Any thoughts on what might be wrong?

Like Velvet
The attack comes so suddenly, I honestly didn't see it coming. I should have. But I didn't. Never do. Never have. I don't have a radar for this. And it's funny, because no matter how often I find myself in this same situation, I never really fully get the gist of it. It always comes as a surprise how cruel people can be.
I'm never ready for it.
A great bang accompanies my head smacking against the locker I'm so rudely slammed against, pinned by a clawed hand while all the other kids watch, some amused, some confused, some pitying me. Despite all that, it's all the same. I'm their entertainment now, again.
The victim. That's humour, you see; a fool without luck, punished for the crowds, a product of his nastiness, idiocy, trust, or clumsiness. Retribution rightfully deserved for whatever wrongs the actor has done. The suspense, spent waiting for it to come, to hit him suddenly and mercilessly, is rewarded with failure and discomfort at his expense that earns a round of laughter from everyone else, even those he loves, even if it's kept inside, politely held silent to preserve some tattered pride; but their pleasure is always betrayed by cruel smiles and twinkling eyes.
Life is my very own comedy, and through years of trial and error, of reading the Bible and praying late at night when I wake up from a bad dream, I've come to realise that there's no humour in heaven. This is not heaven. You don't laugh at people's suffering in heaven.
Angels have straight faces.
"Hi, nerd." Her voice is like velvet – soft, warm, treacherous, mocking. Twisted sheets and hot, rubbing bodies, flesh against flesh. The narrator of many of my fantasies. "Or should I say… dyke."
I grit my teeth. "This again?" comes my harsh whisper. "It's getting old. Better watch yourself, or people will start to think we're going ou-"
Her free hand strikes my cheek, manicured nails sinking in, slashing senselessly into my cheek. It betrays the truth. Her affection. The way she really sees me. "Shut your mouth, bitch."
I swallow back my retort. Being a smartass has never gotten me far. So I simply glare at her instead through watering eyes, hurt once again by her narrow-mindedness. She could kiss me instead, but pretty, popular girls never misbehave so. Certainly not with the smart, gay girl.
"That's better." She smirks, her perfect features seeping with venom. And yet I still see it in her icy eyes, that undercurrent of curiosity, of want. She thinks of me too, sometimes. Maybe a lot. But it's just socially unacceptable of her to experiment. "I've got homework for you today. Help me out, won't you, sweetie?"
There it is again. Crackling electricity, energy contained in one word too tight to hold it all, that spark. But I don't let such powers go beyond the privacy of my bedroom, where I hide under the bed amongst magazines with white smiles and skirts far too short. Maybe I do deserve this.
But I've been quiet too long.
"Well?" She tightens her grip on my neck. Her face is close, so close I can almost taste the chemistry. Her makeup hides only some of her identity. There's always a little bit that gets through, meeting the surface, slight to most but clear as blemishes marking her sculptured cheeks to me. Her hot breath fogs my glasses.
Finally I speak. Pathetically, I give in to the slutty cheerleader's demands. I do it because I don't want her friends to scoop me up and dump me in the garbage again, chanting hurtful words over and over until it becomes musical, and I definitely don't want her gorilla of a boyfriend (whom she doesn't love, merely fucks and parades like a name brand handbag) to come and make me bleed. And it's not my imagination trying to scare me, because I know they will. They have.
They serve her, their queen, and I am less than a pawn. I am a peasant. Hers to use/abuse. Dirt packed together into the shape of a girl half infatuated, half disgusted, and completely frustrated and tired.
"Fine." That's it. All I can manage. Fine.
"Great." She grins, lets me go and immediately shoves an all too familiar book in my arms. "I trust you won't screw it up. Numbers. Your thing, right? It's like porn to you socially inept types."
Oh, I so want to punch her pretty, puckered mouth. My fists literally tremble against the hardback.
"I'll see you first thing tomorrow morning. Don't be late, m'kay?"And with that she winks, nods to her posse and leaves, purposely strutting, yanking on my heart and my groin while my cheeks glow with rage and shame, her Barbie covered writing book heavy in my hands. "Bye, sweetie!"
I sigh when she's gone and most of the crowd has dispersed. A few of the nicer kids, realising this really must've been unpleasant for me (even though it happens all the time) come over to offer words of conciliation, offering to go speak with someone. The principal, even. Except there's one problem with that; it won't help me.
But still. Macho boyfriend, fast car, adoring fans, big breasts, wealthy parents, fancy clothes, high heels, diamond encrusted knuckles. It all means nothing when there's a closet around you, just begging to be unlocked, its secrets spilled. I can savour being the one to cause her so much confliction.
And with that thought I straighten myself, shrug off the offers to walk me to class and slide her book into my backpack, my eyes wisely downcast. "I've got a class to go to. Thanks, but I'll be fine."
I won't.
And I end up late for class because I made a quick trip to the bathroom. It's so undignified to sob over a school toilet, but we all have our little outlets. Mine's just likely more pathetic than yours. And to think, I've got someone else's homework to occupy myself with tonight. Oh, the joy of living.
But please, don't feel sorry for me.

"I applied to SFC because I was impressed by its 'Franciscan Spirit,' which is especially and personally evident to me through the fact that the school has many generously funded scholarships. I also believe that the well designed accounting curriculum, along with strong faculty mentorships, and the abundant alumni network working at reputable accounting firms, best prepares me for my career in accounting and finance. I love SFC! It has become my second home."

As the rest of the Marvel universe deals with âSiege,â âCaptain Americaâ is continuing its post-âRebornâ storyline thatâs a pretty basic story following up on one of the plot points raised shortly after the âdeathâ of Steve Rogers: the 1950s Captain America that the Red Skull intended to use to his own gain. Here, the â50s Cap is working with the Watchdogs in an effort to fight against changes to the country that he loves. He remembers a different America and wants a return to that.
In this issue, Barnes faces an odd request from the â50s Cap: be his new Bucky or heâll kill the Falcon who was captured last issue. Itâs never made clear explicitly why thereâs a desire to make Barnes return to his Bucky persona, but it seems like a good way to gain dominance and tell Barnes that heâs maybe not really Captain America material. The return to that costume also plays into the stories that Brubaker has told since Barnes took up the mantle of Captain America, as he struggles to put his past behind him and become worthy of being Captain America. First, it was the Winter Soldier coming back to haunt him and, now, heâs Bucky again, which is especially insulting after he was given the nod of approval by Steve Rogers to continue being Captain America.
A lot of the issue is devoted to the Falcon, who finds himself on a train heading somewhere with two Watchdogs guarding him and many more elsewhere on the train. He doesnât stay a captive for long, showing that he doesnât need his wings to beat up bad guys and how just how skilled a guy who was Captain Americaâs partner for so long is. A mainstay throughout Brubakerâs run, the Falcon getting the spotlight is always nice since his approach is a little different from either of the Captains America. And, the use of Redwing here is fun, as we get a little bit of banter between the two (though we only hear Samâs side of the conversation).
Luke Rossâs art on this arc has been great, and this issue is no different. With upcoming artist Butch Guice on inks, the art continues to have a similar look to that of Steve Epting or Mike Perkinsâ work, though Rossâ line work is a little stiffer and blockier. He makes liberal use of blacks and shadows, but has a fluid sense of action. Thereâs a classic, somewhat retro look to his art and he brings good facial expressions and body language to the table, like on the page where Barnes first wears the Bucky costume again. The â50s Capâs body language is just so smug as he has a good time with the situation, while Barnes looks uncomfortable in his old duds. Rossâ art really shines on the pages where the Falcon fights a group of Watchdogs, dodging gunfire and blows, taking them out through swift, effective movements.
Also included in the issue is the third part of the Nomad back-up story, which will presumably lead into the upcoming âYoung Alliesâ title. The story has been pretty simple so far, with Nomad and Araña trying to take down the Secret Empire while fighting a werewolf. Itâs a perfectly fine story, but the tone is so different from that of âCaptain Americaâ that it doesnât hold up well in comparison. Itâs a lighter book with cleaner art and brighter colors and is only connected to the main story through Nomad and, even then, the connection is loose. But, itâs good enough to rate a look by readers.
âCaptain Americaâ #604 is another very good issue of the series that builds on what came before without being beholden to it. The story is interesting and I canât wait to see the conclusion after the final page reveal of 1950s Captain Americaâs plan. Itâs big and crazy in that classic supervillain kind of way and works perfectly.

Sterling Heights, MI 48314
Phone: 586.797.7100
Lisa Keyes, Transportation Manager
Welcome to the UCS transportation page!
Students are eligible for transportation service if their residence is 1.5 miles or farther from the school. Elementary students should not walk further than 0.5 mile to reach a bus stop and secondary students should not walk further than one mile.
Students are assigned to stops and should be at the location ten minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive. High school buses will begin their routes 40 minutes prior to the start of school; junior high buses will begin 35 minutes prior to the start of school; schools with starting times at 8:25 a.m. will start 35 minutes prior to school; and buses for schools with 9:05 a.m. starts will begin 25 minutes prior to the start of school.
While departing the bus, students should pay close attention to the driver to ensure they exit in a safe manner. It is important that families utilize the stops assigned to their children, as drivers use the passenger lists for safety and security measures to make sure they are transporting only students eligible to ride the bus.
This year, there have been significant adjustments to stops based on a comprehensive evaluation of the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the bus service. The evaluation took into account district policy and enrollment changes experienced by the district over the past few years.
Routes follow all State of Michigan standards and criteria for the establishment of bus services as well as district policy (Policy 3400). A referral tool that explains guidelines for establishing bus routes is available on the Michigan Department of Education Web site: http://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,4615,7-140-6530_6569_38338-137337--,00.html
If you have questions regarding this year's stops or routes, you may use this form to share your concerns or make a request. You may also e-mail transportation at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 586-797-7100.
Below are common questions or concerns that families often have regarding the stops:
- I want to request the location of my child's bus stop based on its distance from our house.
Transportation is a service provided by Utica Community Schools. The criteria used to determine bus stop location is applied consistently across the district for students who are eligible for busing.
The transportation department is responsible for providing an effective and efficient bus stop network that will ensure student arrival prior to the start of the school day.We ask that parents support this effort by ensuring students are at the stops in a timely manner.
Some common reasons for requesting changes that we often receive include: "I can't see the bus stop from my house," "It's too far for my student to walk" or "My subdivision does not have sidewalks and I'm concerned about how fast cars go on my street" or "The bus goes right in front of my house."
The district works closely with municipal law enforcement agencies regarding traffic and other safety concerns. Requests similar to those referenced above will be carefully considered but may not result in a location change.
- Why are secondary and elementary stops different in my neighborhood?
Stops are established based on home locations of students using bus service. The home patterns may be different for elementary, junior high school and high school students. Stop locations are developed based on the student addresses.
- Why do bus stop locations change?
Bus stop locations are reviewed annually by our transportation department to ensure overall efficiency of the transportation system. This year the department conducted a comprehensive review and there are significant changes throughout the district.
Ridership, distances between stops, and the time it takes the bus to pick up students and get to the schools are some of the elements considered in this process.
Buses have fifty continuous minutes or less to pick up students and be at the school. To comply with legal light activation laws, bus stops may not be closer than two hundred feet from each other on a single run.
We appreciate the continued support of our parents in ensuring efficient and effective bus service in our community. Parents should report concerns to the Transportation Office at 586-797-7100. In some instances the school principal may also be able to provide assistance.
Transportation FAQs
Who is eligible to ride the bus?
Any student who resides more than 1.5 miles from their school is eligible to ride the school bus. School-of-choice and in-district transfer students do not qualify for bus service.
My children go to a child care provider, can they receive bus service?
Students may receive transportation from an alternate address, providing they meet all of the criteria listed below:
- The alternate address must be within the same school's attendance boundary
- The alternate stop must be for all five days a week
- The alternate stop must be an existing stop on the bus run
- The desired alternate bus run cannot be within ten percent of load capacity
- Transportation eligibility is determined by the student's home address
Any student who wishes to receive and qualifies for transportation from an alternate address must complete a "Request for Alternate Address Busing Form". These forms are available in your school's office or at the Transportation Department. The Transportation Department must approve service before alternate service can begin.
Any damage to the bus becomes the responsibility of the student who did the damage. Please see the UCS School Handbook for additional information about riding the bus to school.
Why are safety rules so important on the bus?
The bus driver is required to watch the road ahead, be aware of traffic conditions on the side and from behind, and anticipate the actions of other drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians. The driver's attention should not be distracted by unnecessary student activity. Appropriate student behavior and cooperation are essential for the safety of everyone.
- Arrive approximately 10 minutes before the scheduled arrival time of the bus at your assigned bus stop
- Students should not be inside vehicles waiting for the bus - this creates a danger when students get out of cars and run for the bus
- Wait in line and board the bus in an orderly manner and remain seated at all times
- Keep all objects including heads, arms and hands inside the bus and to yourself
- Keep carry-ons, book bags, instruments and athletic equipment out of the aisle
- No cell phones or other electronic communication devices are allowed on the bus
- No eating, drinking or gum chewing and no smoking on the bus
- Treat the bus, equipment and other people with respect. Be courteous and speak quietly
- Remain seated until the bus comes to a complete stop
- Exit the bus in an orderly manner and only at the assigned bus stop
Only authorized students may ride. Walkers are not eligible to ride the bus except for field trips.
What is a student's responsibility on the school bus?
Children who ride the bus must not jeopardize their own safety or the safety of others. Busing is a privilege which will be denied if students do not follow bus safety rules.
While riding on the school bus, students should remember that the bus driver is not only responsible for the bus, but has complete authority and responsibility to control the conduct of the bus passengers while in transit. All students must follow the instructions given by the driver. If, at anytime, in the judgment of the driver, a student fails to follow instructions and violates the safety requirements, the driver will issue a written referral. The referral will be processed by the school administrator.
What can my child bring on the school bus?
Students should only bring items onto the bus that can be held comfortably in their lap. Items cannot be placed on the floor, under the seat, in the aisle or near the emergency door.
These items are not allowed on the bus:
Glass of any kind, animals, helium balloons, skateboards. Food and beverages may not be consumed while on the bus. Smoking is not allowed.
If your student has a fragile object or project that needs to get to or from school, it is suggested that a parent transport the item to avoid possible -damage caused in transit.
When driving in my car, what should I do when I come to a stopped bus?
- When the yellow overhead lights are flashing, prepare to stop
- When the red overhead lights are flashing, stop no closer than 20 feet from the bus
- When the red overhead lights are turned off, proceed
- When a bus is completely off the road and the yellow hazard warning lights at the middle portion of the back of the bus are flashing, proceed with caution
By all means, please watch out for children!
What is required to become an UCS bus driver?
Before being hired, each new driver trainee must pass a Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) physical and drug screen, a state police background check including fingerprinting and also a driver's license check.
Bus Drivers certifications and standards are mandated by both the state and federal D.O.T. Each driver must pass an annual D.O.T. physical and is subject to random drug and alcohol testing throughout the year. All school bus drivers employed by Utica Community Schools must possess a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) with a "B" endorsement (for vehicles weighing more than 26,000 pounds), a "P" endorsement for passengers, an ظ╤ق╛¤عéق╛¤ظ╥éعéق╛آ¤ظ╤ق╛─éظ╥éعéق╛آظ┬آظ╤ق╛¤îظ╤ق╛¤عéق╛¤ظ╥éعéق╛آظ╤îظ╤ق╛¤عéق╛ظîظ╤ق╜،ظ┬آ endorsement for transporting students and an air brake endorsement. Every other year each driver must attend a state-mandated Advanced Bus Driver class held at the Macomb Intermediate School District.
What kind of training do bus drivers receive?
New driver trainees receive approximately 120 hours of training with a school bus trainer over a three-week period. Trainees drive a minimum of 250 miles. In addition to driving and pre-trip skills training, their training includes emergency procedures, student pick up and drop off procedures, school bus stop procedures, behavior management and radio procedures.
When are drivers ready to take on a route?
Before they are allowed to drive students, trainees are tested by a Michigan State Certified Third-Party Examiner. This test includes a 140-item pre-trip inspection, on-road driving (including student pick up and drop off procedures), practical driving experience (freeway, rural, urban and railroad crossing procedures) and emergency procedures including flare, triangle and fire extinguisher usage.
What is a bus driver's day like?
A driver's day can begin shortly before 6 a.m. Most bus driver's routes consist of a high school, junior high and elementary run each morning and afternoon. Additionally, our drivers provide service for noontime kindergarten runs, shared time, Utica Center for Mathematics, Science and Technology, Utica Center for Science and Industry, field trips and various other programs.

Raves: Underage Drinking, Alcohol Violations Alleged at Electric Daisy Carnival
Dancing at Electric Daisy Carnival.
Caesar Sebastian
More than eight months after the ecstasy hangovers faded, June's Electric Daisy Carnival rave is still making waves.
The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control says this week that it has filed actions against the L.A. Coliseum and Sports Arena for alleged violations during the two-day, 160,000-strong, 16-and-older party.
Among the accusations are that two minors were caught drinking at the Coliseum and ...
... that both the Coliseum and Sports Arena served alcohol in parking lots during the June rave.
Both venues were also hit with allegations that they served or allowed drinking in nonpermitted areas such as in parking lots and on sidewalks. The filings were made in January but came to light Thursday.
Sober living at EDC.

According to ABC records (PDF), the accusation against the Sports Arena came from the very LAPD that last month sent top officials to the Coliseum Commission to defend such raves as safe and controllable events at the venues.
ABC spokesman John Carr said the department can ultimately hand the venues a warning, fine, suspicion or revocation of privileges.
The venues, which, ironically, are run jointly by the city, county and state, can always fight the allegations.
But they'll get no special treatment, Carr says.
"If a violation occurs then we have a duty as a police organization to take proper action," he said.
EDC announced last week that it's moving to Las Vegas for this June's two-day event.
Last year's party saw more than 200 medical emergencies, 60 arrests and the death of a 15-year-old girl who overdosed on ecstasy.
That set up opposition to holding such parties at public venues. The commission was poised to let them continue, however, until it was revealed that the Coliseum's events manager was also double dipping as an employee for the promoter.
He resigned, and so did the Coliseum's general manager.

Some of Kentucky's most successful academic programs take place, oddly enough, when the school year is over.
Several of these got their start in the 1980s, and they have since given thousands of our brightest middle and high school students a chance to come together in a college setting and learn in ways that often extend beyond the traditional classroom.
The Governor's Scholars Program (GSP) is perhaps the most well-known of these. It began in 1983 and now serves more than 1,100 students each summer over several campuses across the commonwealth.

There is mere bondage and then there is the artful exploration of restraint in all its forms, of which this tape is an example of the highest caliber. Thirteen beautiful girls, several of them Japanese, are cuffed, tied and in some cases suspended using complicated shibari techniques, which restrain the girls in contorted positions like flies caught in a spider web. Each and every scene carries its own stamp of originality. Sometimes the girls are completely nude and other times they are wearing suggestive fetish attire or Japanese schoolgirl uniforms. Sometimes a man steps in briefly to administer some discipline, to place a dildo on a dowel for impaling purposes or to dribble a little hot wax on the struggling and gagged captive. All the girls, all the paraphernalia, all the sets and all the struggling and moaning are top notch. Pre-nom for Best Specialty - Bondage.

Alabama Governor Robert Bentley says when it comes to the state's tough new immigration law, they're doing what the federal government won't.
Monday, the Obama administration filed a lawsuit against the state law, saying it conflicts with federal law and undermines federal immigration priorities.
The justice department says a state cannot set its own immigration policy and can't pass laws conflicting with federal immigration laws.
Governor Bentley says the federal government can not tell state government that it can't pass a law. He says the purpose of the bill is to increase the enforcement of federal laws.
"There's nothing in the bill that criminalizes the evangelism and humanitarian acts. There's nothing in the bill that does that. That's not the purpose of this bill."
Governor Bentley went on to say Alabama's law is constitutional.

When I copy a large file using Explorer in Windows 7, the resulting file appears empty until the copy process is completed. Where can I find the contents of the file copied so far?
In the file. One of the nuttier behaviours that Microsoft has preserved from MS-DOS in several operating systems is that file metadata — in particular the timestamps, attributes, and size information — are (in the default case, where no special flags are set, by the program writing to the file, to modify this behaviour) not updated until an open handle to the file is closed or a flush call is made against an open handle to the file.
This is particularly confusing to Unix and Linux users. On those operating systems the in-memory copy of the i-node always contains the current file size, even if the i-node hasn't yet been written to disc, and that's what
On Windows NT, what
If you see an empty file at the destination, then what is copied is gone.
Windows Explorer will create the destination file for writing but will not commit any changes if the progress was interrupted. The destination file should have been deleted automatically but sometimes the system may fail before it can do that.
If you want recoverable copy, use third party copy handlers instead.
If Explorer is copying between two locations on the same filesystem, in my experience it is copying to the destination file all along, but the filesize display doesn't always update. Have you tried opening a CMD window and typing DIR a few times?
When copying between two filesystems, again in my experience, the Explorer filesize seems to update more reliably.

What is so amazing is this happened months after the BBC said the arctic would be ice free this summer:
The full story:
Please stop muddying the waters with facts and reality, it hurts the ultra conservative trolls too much, and being at least somewhat liberal you should be kind to those who are worse off than you!!
We have a faction in this country that obsessively links Gore with the environment putting political bias above science. Gore has championed the cause even if he hasn't lived the life but he doesn't control the environmental scientists of the world.
I enjoyed that. Thanks.
Where did it come from if I may ask?
lots of good information here, including that graphic at http://www.skepticalscience.com/arctic-sea-ice-recovers-to-6th-lowest-extent-in-millennia.html
The warm spell is over because the ice is at the sixth lowest level ever recorded.
Going at this from the other direction, in the last three hundred years two hundred ninety four of them had more ice.
Sure am glad this warming crock has finally been shown for what it is.
Ah, the Daily Mail. About as informative as the National Enquirer.
That's what you get believing in Gorebal Warming!
That's not Al Gore! That's Rafael Cruz trying to melt our hard democratic hearts, warm us up for Talk Radio Dictatorship!
Well that's just inconvenient.
Its just amazing the amount of ditto heads (dumb as(word)es) who apparently never walked outside and felt how hot its been lately. Even if you're a shut-in, you've at least seen the local whether girl say that we broke a few records right before you fantasize about her.
Great graph! Thanks—-
Here is another site which explains what the conservatives are soooo confused about. http://www.climatecentral.org/news/winds-of-change-why-antarctic-sea-ice-is-growing-16507
Arctic and antarctic are two different places, you just happened to mix up jack75287! I thought you might want to clear up your mistaken, tiny fact so you won't sound so silly.
Oh yes that is a good source the heading on the home page says Getting skeptical on global warming skeptics.Trully that is so unbiased.
