Wowie! What's this then, hey? Who would have thought that this day would come? But it's happening folks. Time to sit up and take note. Pay attention guys and girls. Good news ahead for the likes of you.
These are guys and girls who still find themselves having to creep about late at night going to dodgy downtown corners to purchase a bag of stash, even though they are still only doing so responsibly for recreational purposes only.
While there are many lonely guys out there who insist on using the internet to purchase their mail order brides, there are many more guys and girls out there that have really caught on to the fact that a mail order marijuana purchase is doing wonders for their health, both physically and mentally. Ah, those were the days folks. Even a former president has acknowledged the fact, and who knows, one very special prime minister is doing it, only he's not telling right now. If you are old enough to remember, you'd get well and truly caught with your green fingers in the weed cookie jar trying to make a mail order marijuana purchase back in the day.
Nope, not the long arm of the law order folks, you silly dopes. Your mom and pop. Yup, that's right folks; if you are old enough to remember such days, you might remember being caught red-handed after your mom cleaned out your room so thoroughly that you never could recognize it by the time you arrived home from school. No-one cleans their rooms these days. They hire the help. So, if you're hiding your stash away somewhere, you'd better find another place to hide it. Because you just never know these days; the help might just find a use for it.
But now that medical marijuana use has taken off in such a big way in some provinces and states across the continent, it's astounding, and actually quite pleasing, to note that there are now old folks out there using marijuana. It could be your mom and pop, for all we know. But, guys don't be too quick to laugh. What did we just finish saying? We said medical marijuana, didn't we? Old folks are more likely to fall victim to all those life-threatening diseases than we are.
We still take life very much for granted.
Which is why perhaps we should be extra-judicious in taking good responsibility and care over our own marijuana use. If we are using it responsibly and moderately, then it's quite possible that we're all going to be pretty healthy to well into our old age. And, of course, we could still be using our weed then too.
But what's the use if we haven't taken care of our responsible eating and drinking habits. It's an all round and holistic approach that's needed here folks. So, whatever you're using and whatever you're doing, take care, guys.
Medical Marijuana Facts & Important Information
Medical marijuana has been used as a treatment for a variety of health conditions since 1996. Legalization of marijuana for medicinal purposes is a step that 29 of the 50 U.S. states have done, although it remains illegal at a federal level. Many people support medical marijuana, as multiple research studies back the benefits that it provides. Since marijuana for medicinal purposes is still a new concept, more research is needed before an approval from the FDA occurs.
Range of Health Conditions
Medical marijuana has proven itself effective in the treatment of many different health ailments. Although more studies are being conducted to identify the exact problems medical marijuana can treat, anyone with firsthand experience using the substance does not need any research to back up how they feel after consumption of marijuana. Some of the current conditions medical marijuana is used to treat include:
- Cancer (pain from chemotherapy, increases appetite)
- Glaucoma
- Insomnia
- HIV/Cancer
- Depression
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Parkinson's Disease
- Anxiety
A New Beginning
Senate Bill 215 was passed in California in 1996, making it the first state to implement medical marijuana laws. In 2017, the state legalized marijuana for recreational use, following the footsteps of states like Oregon, Nevada, and Colorado. State legalization of medical marijuana provides patients with a valid prescription protection against criminal penalties and prosecution for the purchase and possession of the substance. Recreational marijuana states offer that protection to all residents.
How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card
If you reside in one of the states with legal medical marijuana laws, a visit to a doctor is the first step in obtaining a prescription for the substance. The doctor will provide an examination to determine if you have any conditions which would qualify you to need the marijuana. If it is determined that you have a need, a red card application is submitted and a red card granted that allows you to purchase marijuana to use to treat your health ailments. There is a fee for the doctor visit as well as for the red card. Most states price the red card at a rate of $150 or less. The red card must be renewed on an annual basis, with all fees repaid at the time.
Top Medical Marijuana Strains
Hundreds of marijuana strains exist, but some are better at treating your health conditions than others. Although you are allowed to purchase any strain of your choosing, opting for any of the names below ensures that you get the results that you are after.
- Durban Poison
- Strawberry Cough
- Pure Love
- White Widow
- Granddaddy Purple
- Sour Diesel
- Girl Scout Cookies
Each of the strains above offers all the benefits that a patient could want or need when consuming herb. These strains are award-winners and recommended by many doctors who treat patients with cannabis. Each strain has characteristics unique of the next, so check them all out at least once.
Cannabis is available in bud form that can be consumed via a rolled cigarette, inside of a cigar paper, in a bong or in a pipe. There are additional marijuana products that patients can use to treat their ailments, including topicals, edibles, elixirs, concentrated and more.
Clear evidence supports marijuana as a medicinal plant, especially for conditions that cause pain and/or loss of appetite and/or insomnia. The health conditions listed above are only the start of many that can be treated with medical marijuana. Thousands of patients around the world are consuming the herb for the benefit of their health. If you're searching for an all natural method to treat your ailment, this may very well be the remedy you've been looking to find.

After countless litres of booze, dozens of dodgy bars, and 7½ years - longer than I lived in New York - Marco will be moving out tomorrow. It's an amicable parting, with no hurt feelings. Living with two is different than living with one, especially in 68 m² (730 ft²), and coming back to Shadwell meant Marco's commute was again over an hour. He will be moving up North, to Woodside Park, into a lovely flat with a large private garden, within walking distance to his work.
It feels a bit odd when I think of not living with Marco. He's been an integral part of most of my London life. We've had a lot, a lot, of good times, and very few bad ones. Our circles of friends have become entangled, I've been to his home village and stayed with his family, he was with me through Mom's death, and
he was one of
thewitnesses at our wedding. But it will be good for Sushil and me to live on our own, and to have the space to grow as a couple. Life moves forward and things change.
Of course, this also means we have a guest room now - so who's coming to visit?!
Marco, und viel Glück im Norden!

Well, I'm starting to recover from the excitement of the Byron Bay Writers Festival. Highlights for me:
– Rubbing ink off Isobel Carmody's face in the book signing tent.
– Sitting next to Tom Keneally in the book signing tent. I was able to reminisce briefly about the fact that I taught him cross-country skiing back in the late '80s. He says he can ski properly now and just got back from Vaile. Tom Keneally is like Peter Pan – he never ages.
– Participating in the debut author's panel with Amanda Webster, Shamus Sillar and Jessie Cole. Such a lovely and receptive crowd and a varied group of authors. Amanda Webster made me cry, Shamus Sillar made me laugh and Jessie Cole had me in awe at the quality and impact of her writing. A special thanks to those two lovely ladies who couldn't decide whose books to buy afterwards and so bought them all – we love you!
– Panel-wise, I especially enjoyed seeing climate change campaigner Anna Rose and chatting briefly afterwards. Anna was excited to learn that I'm currently writing a romantic comedy about climate change. I was excited to learn that her book Madlands, is practically a romantic comedy itself – it ends in a wedding!
What else? John Marsden drinks Coke Zero, Hannie Rayson can put on lipstick without a mirror, Andy Griffiths has the biggest book signing queue, Leanne Hall gets into character by crawling around on soccer fields at night, and I still haven't met Martin Chatterton, even though he lives in the same small town as me.
And I think that might be about it for my brushes (and lack of brushes) with literary fame and glamour. Now I can retire with relief back to my cave.

CHICOPEE – A teacher with 44 years of experience in Chicopee and Connecticut classrooms was selected to fill a vacant School Committee seat Thursday night.
The School Committee and the City Council met together, as required by the city's charter, to discuss how to fill the seat. A candidate needed 13 votes and 14 were cast for John F. Mruk, the remaining four nominees, past School Committee member Rev. Jonathan C. Tetherly, Karen S. Rousseau, Gerry Roy and James A. Raschilla split the remaining votes during the joint School Committee and City Council meeting.
Mruk will replace long-term School Committee member Susan A. Lecca, who died in November.
While Mruk accepted congratulations some of the members of the joint committee said they were frustrated that there wasn't more discussion about eliminating the 12th seat instead of filling it.
"The point is we voted ... to not fill the position and we did not even discuss that," School Committee member David A. Barsalou said.
In December, the School Committee voted 9-0 to petition the City Council and subsequently the state legislators to allow them to cut the size of the committee to 11. The committee was expanded in the mid 90s when the mayor was added as chairman, creating an even number of members.
Thursday, an proposal to table nominations to leave the position unfilled failed 16 to 7. The group them started taking nominations to fill the position until it expired in January.
"I think, according to the charter, we should fill the vacancy," City Council President William A. Zaskey said.
Mayor Michael D. Bissonnette, who serves as School Committee chairman, said he will submit the proposal to cut the number of seats to 11 to the City Council before the end of February. If approved, the city will submit the proposal to state legislators to receive permission to change the city's charter.
Mruk currently works as an adjunct math professor at Elms College after having retired as a math teacher and curriculum leader from Ellington High School in Connecticut. He also taught math at Chicopee High School from 1968 to 1987.
"My wife and I believe in giving back and I just wanted an opportunity to share the expertise I received working in Ellington," Mruk said.
Mruk said he wants to help the children of the city by filling the vacancy, but said he will not get in the way of any plans to eliminate the one at-large seat.
"I have no intention of running for School Committee," he said.

WHITEMARSH — As the day of the Technology Student Association (TSA) Pennsylvania State Conference rapidly approaches, middle and high school students in Colonial School District's TSA program are diligently refining miniature mechanical planes, manufacturing model brains, and practicing their public speaking skills.
On April 9, 52 Colonial TSA students will travel to Seven Springs Resort in Champion, Pa. to compete against other schools from all over Pennsylvania in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
These 52 students, 32 from Plymouth Whitemarsh High School and 20 from Colonial Middle School, won their way to the state conference through their performances at the regional competition on Feb. 8.
Among those students who qualified for states, several individuals and teams placed in the top three in their respective categories at regionals.
The high school students saw two-first place finishes, one for the Engineering Design project created by Samantha Horry, Seth Horry, Tyler Simpson, Greg Richards, and Jackson Versak and the other for the Individual Desktop Publishing project created by Lina Shi. The middle school Junior Solar Sprint team, composed of Jesse Stern, Noah Shubin, Jordan Goldring and Max Wittenberg, also won first place.
Plymouth Whitemarsh students Luke Myers, Leslie Miller, and Joe Angelo all won second place in the individual categories 3D Engineering, Transportation Modeling, and Bio-Medical Essay, respectively.
The TSA competitions have a category for every student's interest, according to Sam Horry, who serves not only as a Colonial TSA chapter president, but also as a state TSA officer.
"They really have something for everyone," Horry said. "Normally you wouldn't think of Fashion Design as a STEM subject, but it has its own competition."
High school students can tackle such competitions as Desktop Publishing, Digital Video Production, and Dragster Design, while middle school students can try their hand at Geospatial Technology, Go Green Manufacturing, or Agriculture and Biotechnology Design.
Rich Evan, technology education teacher at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School (PWHS), compares TSA to the playing field for athletes.
"These students are fully committed to working in their own area of interest," Evan said.
Evan hosts afterschool open labs throughout the year for middle and high school students to work on their projects, where he provides machine safety instruction and project guidance. When in the high school's lab, students use 3D printing machines, soldering irons, computer numerical control (CNC) milling machines, lathes, saws, drills, computer-aided design (CAD) software, and anything required for the projects.
As a state TSA officer, Horry attends meetings with officers from all over the state to work with the board of directors in organizing events and refining the year's competitions.
Colonial Middle School technology education teacher and Colonial TSA sponsor Clint Rickert relies on the officers to run the business meetings that help to organize teams and projects according to a "parliamentary code" Colonial TSA adopted for governance.
Last year, Horry and a team composed of her brother Seth Horry, Dalton Versac, Greg Richards, and Jeff Varone worked with blind community members in developing a cane for the blind that has interchangeable metal tips for different environments and surfaces. The cane, which features a unique wristband sound location device, is now pending a patent that will allow for the manufacture and sale of the cane.
This year the engineering design team mentioned above, won first at regionals, created a mouse specifically designed to the hand of Jeff Harris, a local quadriplegic man who works with CAD.
The device, dubbed "Mighty Mouse," gives Harris the option for a right-click, which is vital to computer-aided design, by allowing him to roll his hand backwards, Horry said. Harris indicated the right-click would make him 40 percent more efficient, she added.
A lot of the TSA competitions require public speaking and presentation components. For PWHS TSA member Ray Hoy, the combination of hands-on learning and presentation skills go hand in hand with his aspirations of becoming an aerospace engineer.
Though Hoy's rubber band-powered model aircraft designed for the Flight Endurance competition never made it off the ground, he picked up points by having a well-documented and well-spoken presentation, which let him move on to states.
"One of the most important things for me was being involved in the process: starting from scratch with design then on to manufacture using all of the tools. Time management is crucial," Hoy said.
"Getting it to take-off is the hardest part. I concentrated on the flight endurance side too much," he continued. "So now I need to change the aspects ratio. I need to play around with those numbers."
The youngest Horry to take up TSA will also travel to the state conference. Scott, a student at Colonial Middle School taking after his older siblings, has been spending his time preparing a model of the brain that demonstrates how magnetic bacteria can be employed during chemotherapy.
Taking Evan up on his open lab hours after school, Scott milled the model brain out of fiberglass using the high school's CNC machine. The model brain will contain magnetized fluids, which Scott predicts will help out a great deal during the presentation portion of the Medical Technology Issues competition.
According to Rickert, TSA alumni visiting a work session is not an uncommon sight. Several alumni often do more than just visit, finding ways to pass the baton of technological enthusiasm.
Each alumnus can point to a specific project or competition that particularly inspired them or taught valuable skills necessary for their academic or professional careers after TSA.
Matt Machini, a 2012 McGill University grad and current Drexel University mechanical engineering graduate student, said the technology problem-solving event, in which teams are given limited materials and must create a device, taught him engineering ingenuity and quick thinking. The team's project won first place at the state level.
Joe Narke, a BMW "genius," said he learned the entire engineering process through TSA's engineering competition, taking a concept from rough prototype to a finished product and from a patented product to a marketed and sold product that was eventually bought by another company.
Nick Dryslewski, a senior studying industrial engineering and computer science at the University of Pittsburgh, said the website he created in the Cyberspace Pursuit Design project taught him the necessary skills to analyze a set of specifications and deliver it in a presentable format.
"This helps me now when I have to take a client's specifications and figure out exactly how to show what they want on the website," Dryslewski said.
All of the students said the skill sets they took with them after graduating from Plymouth Whitemarsh were greatly enhanced through participation in TSA. Some of them still spend time giving back to Colonial TSA, whether it is in a fundraising capacity, being available as an informational resource for research, or volunteering as a judge at the regional or state conferences.
"Most of my mechanical engineering classmates at McGill had never used a lathe or mill, and I doubt any of them knew what a radial arm saw was. I believe knowledge of how things are made is critical to being a good mechanical engineer," said Machini, who judged events at states in 2009 and this year's regionals. "Participating in TSA instills things like professionalism, punctuality, mutual respect, and leadership — all of which are vital to success in the working world and serve to improve the community at large."
Narke helps to raise sponsorship money that helps to offset some of the cost of the competitions and acts as a mentor on projects that need an extra resource of information.
"TSA teaches kids life lessons and leadership skills necessary for future success," Narke said. "That in turn has a drastic impact on local and even larger communities. A perfect example is Chad Hurley, the co-founder of YouTube. He was in PA TSA."
Rickert mentioned local examples of Colonial TSA's impact, citing the engineering design projects that help disabled members of the community, as well as the donation of the "What Lives Around This Creek?" informational sign that greets visitors to Bicentennial Park next to the Plymouth Township Building.
"These students are finding real-life problems and solving them," Rickert said. "A lot of them will hand in work that is more polished than some graduate work I've seen."
Rickert himself joined TSA when he was in seventh grade. His high school Technology Bowl team won second place at the national level.
Though Rickert admitted Horry's team, which won first at nationals last year, likes to say, "We beat you," the competitive spirit shows TSA students want to do well and take pride in their work.
"At states it's all about school pride. You want to beat the other local school," Rickert said. "Once you get to nationals, the school rivalries disappear. Then it's all PA TSA. You root for everyone you know from the Pennsylvania."
For more information on TSA, including information on the upcoming Pennsylvania State Conference visit the TSA website, www.tsaweb.org.
Check back in with The Times Herald after the state conference to see how Colonial TSA performed and which local students will be traveling to the 2014 National Competition, which will be held June 27 - July 1 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Md., outside of Washington D.C.

September 22, 2009 --The school board in downstate Belleville is taking action against two students caught on videotape beating another student on a school bus. The students are expelled from school for two years. That's the maximum penalty. Board members say something drastic like this is needed to send the message this behavior won't be tolerated.
Parents are split over the decision.
"You may think you're showing the other children that you all are making a great stance, that you don't want this in the schools, but I think you ought to think of another way," said Joyce Borders, student's grandparent.
"As far as helping their education, I don't care, I care about the children who are there and act appropriately," said Tami Graham, student's parent.
The board also voted to review the entire 12-minute video and possibly discipline other students for their actions.

Why not 'include teletext/closed-captioning in recordings?' as a setup option? _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list email@example.com http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

It has been BUSY on the homestead. I feel like I should be updating the blog but so much needs to be done, there is no time to write. We have been digging in the garden, harvesting cucumbers, zucchinis, kale, lettuces and herbs. I have dried a batch of herbs for teas during the cold months.
We started our CSA season (community supported agriculture) and with that, the season for food preparation has begun. We have been getting flats of strawberries and whatever doesn't get eaten has been converted into strawberry lemonade concentrate, strawberry-rhubarb jam and syrup, fruit leather, frozen and dehydrated. Our kids love strawberries, these will be a nice treat when the season is over! Right now, we enjoy a berry or two from our patch. After much discussion, Paul and I decided that we needed to move our strawberries to a sunnier part of the yard. This will happen in August when the plants stop bearing fruit.
Next on the berry horizon will be raspberries, which are my favorite berry. Our plants are giving us a lot of berries to enjoy but we will either go to a u-pick place or get them from a farm stand for preservation. We make raspberry jam for medicinal purposes. During a fever, hot tea with raspberry jam makes you sweat, cooling down the body-lowering the fever. It really works! Try it, it is way better than taking a bunch of synthetic medications. Raspberry leaves are also good dried and used for tea. We will be preserving some for the colder months as well. Blackberry and currant leaves can also be dried for teas.
In mid July, we will be going to pick blueberries. I am not a big fan of blueberry jam, but I do love the syrup, We eat it with homemade scones/biscuits and pancakes. I freeze most of the blueberries and then use them in yogurts and baking.
This is another great year for zucchinis. We have been enjoying them raw and grilled so far. I got a few recipes from my aunt on canning zucchini salad. I will be trying them this weekend and if I manage to get it right, I will share the recipe.
Here is a picture update of all that is going on…

The most significant concert presenter in this city outside the Toronto Symphony Orchestra is Nina Draganic, the unheralded doyenne of the Canadian Opera Company's annual 10-months of free concerts at the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre.
The new season kicks off at lunchtime on Sept. 18, with a concert by the COC's Ensemble Studio and will run its combination of classical, jazz, world and new music, dance and lecture concerts through to the end of June.
In total, the COC says more than 400 individual artists will take part in the total of 77 concert dates. As was the case last year, the chamber music sub-series is being curated by COC music director Johannes Debus.
Every professional performer gets paid, even through the concerts are free to the public. It was an unbreakable condition imposed by late COC general director Richard Bradshaw when he dreamt of free community concerts during the planning of the Four Seasons Centre, and the company has managed to stick to it, even though the next year's money supply has not always been guaranteed over the course of the economic turmoil in recent years.

The Canada Goose Women's Hybridge Lite Vest is a slim fit vest for layering or worn alone on cool to cold weather adventures. The Hybridge Lite combines 800 fill power Hutterite White Goose Down with Tensile-Tech side and underarm inserts for a warm, comfortable fit to surround your core. The down is held in place and protected by Feather-Light 10D fabric, lightweight and durable for the adventurous. The vest wears alone over a base layer easily and still allows for a hard shell jacket to be pulled on over top for use as a mid-layer. The internal mesh pocket and two zippered hand pockets hold small essentials close, from a snack bar to extra gloves. On days that are too warm, pack the vest into the left hand pocket and it'll take up less space in your bag. Bridge the gap between cool and cold. That line made me feel so clever at first and now I just feel strange about it.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.
Would you like to compare the products you have selected now?

Condition-dependent transcription factors with altered targetsMotif analysis for condition-dependent transcription factors that bind different targets under different conditions.
Here, three possible mechanisms that may be involved in monitoring condition-dependent binding, which lead to altered targets, are presented schematically. For each mechanism we show the scheme of the promoter organization of the target genes (above the dashed line) and the result of motif discovery (under the dashed line). (A) The first mechanism is through a change in the cofactor. This may be detected through co-occurrence of motifs of different factors. (B) The second mechanism is through a change in the specificity to the DNA. This change can be traced by identifying variations in the DNA motif. (C) The third mechanism is a change in the chromatin state. This change cannot be traced using motif analysis.

What Makes Brooklyn Laugh
Posted by andre with No Comments
ESQUIRE.COM: This is your first big role in a TV comedy. Are you a funny person?
BROOKLYN DECKER: I'm more one of those people you laugh at and not with. I'm not the one with the jokes, I'm the one who falls on her face going up a flight of steps. I've made people laugh my whole life, it's never been willingly. This was a highly different format for me: having jokes, letting them breathe, and making people laugh at you.
ESQ: What's your type of humor?
BD: I have a very dirty sense of humor.
ESQ: You do?
BD: Yeah, I like pressing the envelope. I think it's funny when something bold comes out of someone's mouth that you're not expecting, things that catch you off guard. That's what I really like. I like an English sense of humor: dry, dirty, a little bit off. That's kind of my taste.
ESQ: One of the first lines that comes out of your character Jules's mouth is "I had sex for 12 straight hours." Have you ever known anyone who's been open about their sex habits like that?
BD: I have a group of friends who are very open in that way. I feel like I'm more of the Andy-Bobby [played by Majandra Delfino and Kevin Connolly] couple in my life. Most of my friends have lived at my house, we talk about everything, there are no boundaries. For me, that's something people would talk about. But I have personally never known a person to have sex for 12 hours straight, no.

After the shock of being injured in a Chicago car accident comes the shock of how much it can cost you.
Not only are you looking at car repairs and bodywork, but may now be facing a stack of medical bills that your health insurance policy will not cover. Before you take out a second mortgage to start paying off those medical bills, you should speak with a car accident attorney. They may be able to help you recover your financial damages, and even lower your costs in the process.
Even for Chicago drivers who have comprehensive car insurance coverage to cover the cost of the medical care, it could take months before you see a payout from your claim. In most cases, a driver will be expected to pay for those medical charges out of pocket until the claim is settled, hopefully in their favor. Any injury causing accident is going to be complicated, and the car insurance company is likely to conduct an investigation, trying to find ways in which they can deny your claim.
Should You Pay Your Medical Bills Before Getting Compensation for Your Car Accident?
Before putting yourself into further debt paying off the medical bills incurred from a Chicago car accident, you should consult with a Chicago car accident lawyer. They can explore other forms of compensation that could result in you receiving more compensation over-all. Bring all of the details of the car accident, including the police report, with you to the consultation along with your medical records and bills.
It is important during this time that you are keeping careful track of all of your expenses related to the car accident during this time. Not only does that help in ensuring that you recover all of the money spent, it goes towards helping establish the seriousness of your injury.
Should You Accept a Quick Settlement in Order to Avoid Collections?
Taking some time to resolve a car accident settlement can also be beneficial to you. If you have suffered injury that will require long term care, the cost of that future care could be incorporated into the settlement amount. Once you accept an offer, you are usually not permitted to ask for more, and since the extent of injury is not always evident at first, it could be in your best interest to wait until your treatment has been completed to see what the outlook is.
Negotiating With Medical Bill Collectors
A Chicago car accident attorney also has the ability to speak directly with your creditors while your claim is being processed. They can provide proof that bills will be paid after the settlement, and in some cases negotiate to have the bills reduced on your behalf. As a result, you may pay less for your medical care.
Why Speak With an Attorney?
No matter how small, or what the circumstances are, after being injured in an automobile collision it is always in your best interests to speak with a personal injury attorney. Bills can pile up fast during your treatment, but a qualified lawyer can help you mitigate the financial cost to you.
Call (312) 957-4166 to discuss your claim for free with a top-rated Chicago car accident lawyer.

|BESTIN: Beroun, Bohemia
(before 1835) used cemetery at Liten
US Comm. no. CZCE000029
Alternate/former names of Bestin are Bieschtin (German) and Bechcin [Yiddish?] in Beroun, Bohemia at 49÷49 14÷ 02, 12 km N of Pribram and 42 km SW of Prague. Location: 800 meters NE, on the cadastre [a public record, survey or map of the value, extent, and ownership of land as a basis of taxation] of Hostomice, near the road leading to Hostomice. Present town population is 1,000 to 5,000 with no Jews.
The earliest known Jewish community in town dates from the late 18th century or the early 19th century. 1930 Jewish population (census) was 0 in Bestin and 38 in Hostomice. In 1866, Bestin and Hostomice's Jewish population sustained a pogrom. The Jewish congregation moved to Hostomice after 1872 but the synagogue in Bestin was used by the congregation until 1941. The Jewish cemetery was established perhaps 1835 with last known Conservative or Reform/Progressiv Jewish burial in 1946. Hostomice (since the second half of the 19th century), about 2 km. away, and Lochovice, about 5 km. away, used this cemetery. The cemetery is probably not protected. The rural (agricultural) hillside, separate, but near other cemeteries with no sign, is reached by turning directly off a public road. Access is open with permission via a broken masonry wall and no gate. Size of cemetery before and after WWII about 0.3 hectares.
100-500 gravestones, more than 75 % toppled or broken, are in cemetery with 20-100 in original location and 100-500. The gravestones date from 1835 (but legible only from 1838) to 20th century. The granite, limestone, and sandstone flat shaped stones; finely smoothed and inscribed stones; and multi-stone monuments have Hebrew, German, or Czech Inscriptions. Some tombstones have traces of painting on their surfaces and metal fences around graves. The cemetery contains no known mass graves. Prague Jewish community owns property used for Jewish cemetery purposes only. Properties adjacent are meadow and forest. Rarely, private visitors and local residents visit. The cemetery was vandalized occasionally in the last ten and between 1945 and ten years ago. No care or maintenance. Within the limits of the cemetery is a pre-burial house -- hardly ruined. Vandalism is a very serious threat. Security (uncontrolled access because of secluded location) and vegetation are serious threats. Weather erosion, Pollution, and Incompatible nearby development are slight threats. The vegetation overgrowth is a constant problem disturbing graves.
Ladislav Mertl, Mgr. of Geography, Kubanske nam. 1322/17, Praha 10-Vrsovice, tel. 02/743213 and Jiri Fiedler, z"l, Brdickova 1916, 155 00 Praha 5, tel. 02/55-33-40 completed this survey on 7 July 1992 using the following documentation: 1. Frantisek Nezval: Zide v Horovicich a okoli (manuscript, 1986); 2. Monografie Horovicka a Berounska, III (1929), VI (1931); 3. Dnesek 1948; pg. 633- 635; 4. G.A. Schimmer: Statistik des Judenthums... (1982); 5. Notes of Statni Zidovske muzeum Praha; 6. Letters of F. Nezval (1984); 7. Cadastre [a public record, survey or map of the value, extent, and ownership of land as a basis of taxation] of 1839; and 8. Censuses of 1930 and 1991. Other documentation exists but was not accessible: specifically records No. 26, 35, 36, 59, 60 in archives of Jewish Congregation in Prague. Ladislav Mertl who conducted no interviews visited the site for this survey on 6 June 1992.

Radiation Therapy
What is Radiation therapy?
Radiation therapy is one of the main methods used to treat patients with cancer. This course qualifies you to work as a radiation therapist – the health care professional who, together with the other multidisciplinary team members, is responsible for the preparation and delivery of a course of radiation therapy
Radiation Therapy: The course for you?
The radiation therapist requires very specialist skills and the role can be physically and emotionally demanding. The development of your clinical skills requires you to be interested in patient care. You will also need to have a keen interest in the field of science. Working as a radiation therapist will also require you to have good interpersonal and technical skills.
Radiation Therapy @ Trinity
Radiation Therapy is an innovative profession, with constant technological and patient care advancements. The four-year programme will provide you with the necessary academic and practical skills to work in this patient-centred healthcare environment. The programme is delivered by experienced and enthusiastic academic staff, whose focus is on providing you with a research-led, quality learning experience.
Graduate skills and career opportunities
As a graduate radiation therapist you will be the main point of contact for the cancer patient during the course of their treatment and you will be involved in many aspects of their care during their radiation therapy treatment. As radiation therapy is expanding in Ireland and internationally so too is the opportunity for role development, making this an exciting time to be entering the profession. Graduates from this programme work in radiation therapy departments in Ireland; UK; Australia; New Zealand; Qatar and Saudi Arab, to name but a few. The broad scientific and clinical content of this degree, in combination with the graduate attributes of competent reflective practitioners; lifelong learners; critical thinkers and problem solvers has facilitated some graduates to work in research and development, medical technology, medical marketing and academia.
Your degree and what you'll study
This four-year honours degree gives you a broad academic base on which to develop the clinical skills of radiation therapy. You will be able to analyse, evaluate and make clinical decisions and to initiate, participate in and encourage research in oncology and radiation therapy. There are both theoretical and clinical components to this degree, the emphasis being more on the theoretical component in the first two years and more on the clinical and research component in the last two years. The contact hours are high in this course and the subjects are taught through lectures, laboratory-based practical sessions, workshops, tutorials and clinical placement in the hospital setting.
A significant clinical component is integral to this course. The clinical sites are the radiation therapy departments attached to the St. Luke's Radiation Oncology Network at St Luke's, St. James's and Beaumont Hospitals in Dublin; Cork University Hospital, University Hospital Galway; the Mater Private Hospital Dublin, St. Vincent's Private Hospital Dublin, the Galway Clinic; the Mater Private at Midwestern Regional Hospital Limerick, the Beacon Hospital Dublin, UPMC Whitfield Clinic, Waterford, and the Hermitage Medical Clinic, Dublin.
The duration of the clinical placement is 4 weeks in Junior Freshman (first) year, 9 weeks in Senior Freshman (second) year, 13 weeks in Junior Sophister (third) year and 15 weeks in Senior Sophister (fourth) year. Part of the clinical placement takes place during the vacation periods and clinical placement consists of 35 hours per week. Students are placed in radiation therapy departments across the country. The costs of placement outside Dublin (including accommodation and travel expenses) must be borne by the student.
In the Freshman (first and second) years, the course covers the basic sciences. You will also study the structure and function of the human body and will be introduced to topics that related to cancer and patient care. There are approximately 20-30 hours per week in class in the freshman years.
The clinical component (clinical placement) will introduce you to radiation therapy and will develop your understanding of the complexities of the cancer patient pathway.

What our current students say
Lisa McGrane
"I am enjoying Radiation Therapy as it is varied and there is always a new challenge. In the Freshman years, I studied broader science subjects, such as biology, chemistry and physics. In third year we now focus on subjects more specific to radiation therapy, for example treatment planning. Clinical placement integrates the academic learning with the practical work. You get the opportunity to go to different hospitals across the country so there is always something new to see. My class is quite small, which made it easy to make friends and get to know everyone. Societies are a great way to get to know people in other courses."
What our graduates say
Graham Kelly
"After graduation from radiation therapy in Trinity College Dublin, I now work as a Radiation Therapist in an Irish Hospital. My position requires me to work as part of a four-person unit delivering safe and accurate radiation treatment to patients suffering from cancer.
Our primary tool in treating our patients' cancer is the medical linear accelerator or linac. This is a complex machine that allows us to deliver a radiation dose to a tumour in any part of the body. This is done via a series of beams in conjunction with shielding to spare as much healthy surrounding tissue as possible.
A minimum of 2 radiation therapists must treat a patient. We position the patient on the machine's couch in the treatment position with the aid of an appropriate immobilisation device. Permanent dots on the patients skin are aligned using a series of fixed laser lights to ensure the patient is in the correct position. We then leave the room and move to the control room to deliver the patient's treatment. To verify a patient's treatment position, x-ray images may be taken using the linac.
In addition to delivering a patients treatment we also monitor and advise patients on the management of any side effects or concerns that may arise during treatment. We liaise with and work along side other health professionals so to ensure that patient's side effects and needs are addressed promptly and the impact limited.
No two days are the same when working as a radiation therapist. Each day is varied and presents new tasks and challenges. This makes for a varied and highly rewarding career."

Tom Hanks Spoofs Late Night ... or Does He?
We can't figure out whether his new, online '3 Minute Talk Show' is a parody or the real thing.
This is odd. The 3 Minute Talk Show is a new weekly web series (each installment is actually six minutes) full of good talent (Tom Hanks, Fred Willard, Ben Lee, Bryan Cranston) that can't quite make up its mind whether it's a wannabe late-night talk show, or a show lampooning wannabe late-night talk shows. Hanks's production company, Playtone, produces it, Lexus paid for it, eighties comedian Barry Sobel (who was Hanks's comedy teacher for the film Punchline) is the host, Willard the sidekick, Lee the bandleader, and Hanks and Cranston among the guests. And the more you watch it, the more you wonder, "Wait, what is this?"
Just when you think it's a parody, it starts to seem no different than the age-old talk-show archetypes it's parodying, just shorter. There's a frenetic vibe and an overcharged laugh track in place of a studio audience, but it's not quite overcharged enough to not seem legitimately bad: With Space Ghost, you knew it all was a satire. Hanks introduces a clip to his upcoming movie, Larry Crowne, and it's nonsensical without context ... and yet still promotional. In the second episode, Cranston fields a real question about winning three Emmys in a row before fake huffing off set because it's an "Internet talk show." And Willard spoofed a talk-show sidekick 34 years ago on Fernwood Tonight, but he's successfully made that kind of genial crackpot his go-to persona for so long that now it just seems like he's being Fred Willard, sidekick. The pacing and everyone trying so hard to be funny in such undefined terms (are they trying to be Letterman, or tease Letterman? And if it's teasing, maybe there's a more current target than his "Top Ten List"?) makes the viewing experience fairly stressful and disorienting. Are we supposed to be entertained in a talk-show way, or in a meta way? That said, 3 Minute Talk Show doesn't hurt to watch, and we like all these people and Ben Lee's musical intros for the guests ("Tom Hanks/a nice guy who doesn't take drugs/Tom Hanks"). But everyone involved should probably stop snickering at the idea of an Internet talk show and realize that more people probably see them plug their movies online than they do on TV.

Bringing about a flurry of facts and a storm of misconceptions, Kentucky's pension crisis has become one of the most dominating news stories in recent months.
One thing is for certain: if our state pensions are not addressed in the near future, we will face huge cuts in state funding. Education, Medicaid, and other government services will likely be affected—a risk our state is not in a position to take.
So how did we get to this point? In the early 2000's Kentucky's pensions were in a healthy condition.
By Rachel Dawn, Guest Columnist
It was a sweltering Friday in July, but I was inside. I was sitting just outside of a hotel meeting room door anxiously waiting for my name to be called.
It was my first writer's conference and I had scored one of the few, coveted appointment slots with a publisher; during which I would pitch my book in hopes they would offer me a contract.
Touring the Grant County Courthouse, one thing is abundantly clear. The place needs some work.
After all, it is an 80-year-old building, so it stands to reason that time and use of the facility would help deteriorate things.
The building used to house the sheriff's office, which has since moved to Barnes Road in Williamstown.
Although it is difficult to imagine, the jail even was located inside the courthouse at one time.
Of course, there are way more beds in the current detention center now than there were back then.
When my wife was pregnant with our first child nearly 11 years ago we ultimately just wanted a healthy, precious baby.
However, if we were able to choose the gender, we definitely were hoping it was a girl.
My dad bet the barn against me. He believed I wouldn't find a job working for a newspaper right out of college.
Well, looks like I have all his cows now.
He's proud, and I'm happy to be the new staff writer at the Grant County News.
As a mechanical engineer, my dad wasn't completely enamored by the idea˜of me becoming a journalist. His first job, as a father, was to worry about me — specifically about me not being able to find a job as a journalist after I graduated University of the Cumberlands.
I grew up during the 1940s and 1950s. In those days, we bought gas at a service station, where they cleaned your windshield, pumped your gas, checked the air in your tires and checked your oil.
I can recall how strange it felt to pump my own gas for the first time.
We learned to dance with our sisters and brothers to all of the favorite music of the 50s. I even taught my brother, Randy, how to dance the polka as we watched the Lawrence Welk Show.
Have you ever had one of those days where you just wanted to throw in the towel?
Maybe it was even more than a day, maybe things kept going wrong so your bad day turned into a week, maybe a month or maybe even it felt like a whole year.
That's kind of what this year's Grant County Relay For Life event felt like.
The relay was originally set for May 19 at Grant County Park.
The past few five months I have been terrified.
Most nights would be filled with restless sleep and recurring nightmares.
In February, my dad was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma.
When my mom told my brother and I over the phone that he had cancer I could barely utter a word.
Although in shock, I asked all the obvious questions.
What happens next?
How bad is it?
Will they be able to get rid of it?

Your website's on-page SEO is like the foundation for a home. Without it, your home (website) will sink into the ground or sink into the depths of the SERPS. Fortunately, I have seen every possible on-page optimization issue there is and I'm going to help you avoid some of the most common pitfalls.
If you're planning a new website, this guide will prevent you from making mistakes that could destroy your SEO campaign down the road. And if you already have a website, you can make these changes right away and will start seeing the benefits once Google recognizes it.
Trust me, I have worked on sites, got them ranking with quality backlinks, and then got slaughtered by a Panda penalty because I didn't take the time to optimize the website the way I'm suppose to.
I don't make these mistakes anymore!
In fact, I don't build a single link until I am 100% satisfied that I have created an indestructible foundation. It IS that important.
It doesn't matter if you have links from God himself, if you are making many of the mistakes I'm about to show you, there is a good chance your website will disappear from the SERPS. And in all honesty, I'm not trying to scare you, but I just want you to understand how important on-page SEO really is.
One more annoying analogy: don't start framing the house before the foundation is laid out.
I'm writing this post because I want A) your website to avoid being hit by Google Panda, B) I want your website to rank with ease, and C) I not only want Google to love your website, but I also want to make sure that your user experience is stellar because it brings your business and website more conversions.
Ready? Let's do this.
What is Considered "Good" On-Page SEO?
Before I start criticizing everyone's websites, I should layout what I believe is "good" on-page SEO.
The best on-page SEO strategy always begins with the users in mind. While I think Google is annoying about their link building stance, I do believe they have one very solid principle: build websites for the user. As you'll notice, all of the issues I list DO affect user experience and therefore force Google to devalue your website.
Here's what happens when you optimize your website for the user: Google loves it, your users love it, and you make more money.
Sure, most on-page optimization involves technical stuff, but don't neglect the fact that every single page on your website should be valuable or designed with the user in mind.
Unique Content
Every single page on your website should have UNIQUE content. There is no way around this.
Link Flow
Creating a strategic site architecture makes ranking new pages super easy and will require less backlinks to see your desired results.
Keyword Placement
Yes, knowing WHERE to place your keywords is critical to ranking any page. More on this in a second.
13 On-Page SEO Issues That Panda Hates
In my experience working with websites both large (40,000 + pages) and small, here are the most common on-page issues I have found and continue to find with every new client I take on:
1. Duplicate Content
Duplicate content can be the death of your website if it isn't corrected, and unfortunately, it can rear its ugly head in many different forms on your site.
2. Keyword Density
If any page on your website is rocking anything higher than 1-3% KW density you will have trouble ranking, and you are putting yourself in a position to get slapped.
3. Thin Pages or Pages That Lack Value
Pages that lack valuable content or content at all devalue your site, clog up space in the search engine, and serve no purpose to your users.
4. Duplicate META Tags
Some websites think it's okay to copy and paste META descriptions throughout the entire site. Trust me, Panda doesn't like this.
5. Broken Links
Large numbers of broken links are unprofessional, sloppy, hurt the flow of your website, and force Google to think that you don't care about the "user experience". Big no-no.
6. 302 Redirects
Too many temporary redirects are not only unnecessary in most instances, but will hurt your website when used in excess.
7. Ineffective Link Flow
No, you probably won't get penalized for having an ineffective site architecture, but you will have lower conversions, high bounce rates, minimal time actually spent on your site, and it will be harder to rank pages throughout your website.
8. Slowww Page Speed
Having a slow website creates a bad user experience and Google takes it into consideration when ranking your site.
9. Improper Use of Header Tags
Using more than 1-2 H1 tags per page can dilute the effectiveness of your keyword placement.
10. Missing ALT Tags
Google has no idea what your images are unless you specify in the ALT tags. All this robot sees is CODE, not your beautiful photography.
11. Missing META Tags
This isn't a critical issue, but having them can increase click through rates when your pages are found in the SERPS.
12. Too Many Indexed Pages
This is probably one of the biggest misconceptions about being an "authority" in Google. For some weird reason, some website owners think because they have a ton of pages indexed, it means their site is authoritative. WRONG.
If you have a ton of QUALITY pages indexed, then this is true.
But if your website has 10 blogs posts, and you have 400 pages indexed, then I would bet a lot of cash that you have duplicate content and thin pages.
13. Missing Trust Signals
Google looks for certain pages that a legitimate website would have such as Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Contact and About pages. If you don't have these, create them.
As you can see from the majority of these issues, it's all about fixing your user experience. The ultimate formula to fixing your on-page SEO is by creating the best user experience possible. I'm going to help you correct all of those technical issues above with ease. Keep reading.
How to Fix Your On-Page SEO
The good news is that there are a ton of tools that will do most of your heavy lifting when it comes to optimizing your website.
Tools for Fixing the Technical Stuff
Fortunately since SEO has been around for awhile, there are a ton of tools at your disposal for analyzing a website. Whenever I start on a new website, the first thing I do is throw the target site into the tools below:
Siteliner – this is the ultimate tool for finding duplicate content and broken links on your website. If you have duplicate content, then it should be your number one priority to fix it. In my opinion, there is NO bigger issue than duplicate content when it comes your on-page optimization.
The most common forms of duplicate content are copied product descriptions from the manufacturer, multiple pages for the same product, and tags, categories, and archives being indexed, and if you have an eCommerce website, you may have duplicate content due to canonicalization issues.
How to Fix Duplicate Product Descriptions
1. Unique.
2. Unique.
3. Unique.
Many eCommerce stores have hated me for this, but every single product page MUST have unique content.
Do not copy product descriptions from the manufacturer or of your own! By taking the time to create 100% unique content your website will increase your conversion rates, but it will also bring your products more long tail traffic from Google. And even more importantly, it will make your business standout because you put in that effort.
There's one super easy way to generate unique content on these pages outside of just writing a block of text: user generated content.
Create a review, comment or question section and ask anyone who buys your product to leave a review.
How to Fix Multiple Pages for the Same Product
This is by far one of the most common issues I find with eCommerce stores. They have one product and 10 pages for each color, and another 10 pages for each size of the product.
Google HATES this because 1) you filling the SERPs with nonsense, and 2) there's no way you'll be able to write a unique description for 20 different pages of the same product.
Solution: consolidate all the pages into one. Google will love you for this and so will your users.
If it's too technical of a process to consolidate, then use the "noindex, follow" on the duplicate product pages.
Tags, Categories, and Archives
By default WordPress indexes these and they can cause some serious duplicate content issues. I highly recommend you noindex them. If you're using WordPress, you can do this easily through the All in One SEO pack or Yoast SEO.
How to Fix Canonicalization Issues
Most websites will not suffer from this because almost every eCommerce and blogging platform has code in place to prevent it. I'm not going to get into this because I will fall asleep writing about it, so either read this article or watch the video below. Moral of the story, decide whether you want your website to have the www. extension or not. Once you decide, simply 301 redirect the one you didn't choose to your preferred domain.
Example: I like "www.website.com", so I'm 301 redirecting "website.com" to "www.website.com"
Siteliner will find pretty much any canonicalization issues you may be having, so make sure you use it. Especially if you have an eCommerce store.
Screaming Frog SEO Spider – it doesn't matter whether you're an SEO agency or single website owner, you NEED to use this tool. It's free, so there's really no excuse.
This tool is perfect for:
- Identifying duplicate META information throughout your site
- Finding broken links, 302 redirects
- Displaying missing H1 and H2 tags that you could be using to place primary keywords
- Directives: can identify accidental "nofollow" or "nofollow, noindex" placement on pages or lack thereof.
SEO Quake (Firefox, Chrome) – SEO Quake is another must-have tool. Aside from it's link analysis capabilities, I actually really love it's "Diagnosis" and "Density" extensions.
Diagnosis: with a single click, the Diagnosis tool shows all kinds of useful metrics including your page's META information, header tags, image ALT tags and many other things. This simple tool has helped me identify duplicate H1 tags on a clients site, which I then fixed and brought his page from the top of the second page, to the top 4 in only a few days after the changes. Moral of the story, USE THIS TOOL.
Density: I use the keyword density tool religiously because it's super comprehensive. Just keep in mind, it doesn't count keywords in your ALT tags, IMG extensions, and other stuff in the code. Every page on your site should have between 1-3% KW density. Anything more and you start playing with fire.
* Tip: if you create a quality long tail keyword-based blog post, publish it, and it's not ranking in the top 100, then it's more than likely has to do with your keyword density either being too high or low. OR, you're just being silly and trying to rank for something like "SEO" in a blog post, which I know you would never do….
Every single blog post I have created for my authority site project is ranking in the top 30 for it's target keyword without backlinks. That's because of the keyword placement and density alone.
About Keyword Placement
Since you need to keep your density around 1-3%, you don't have a ton of leeway. This means you need to know WHERE to place your keywords for optimal rankings.
First, I highly recommend you read How to Optimize a Blog Post in 10 Easy Steps because it explains a lot of this. Secondly, the most critical places to insert your target keyword is in the URL, the title, first sentence or paragraph, first image ALT tag, and last sentence. Aside from that, you can sprinkle into header tags or throughout the copy.
So, what I do is place it in the critical spots first, and then adjust the density up or down from there.
Word of advice: whenever you're creating a blog post or landing page, just write naturally and don't think about KW density. AFTER you're finished with the copy, that's when you go back and make sure the percentages are correct.
I highly recommend you run your website through these programs as well:
Okay, that's basically it for fixing the technical side of things.. unfortunately, the true meat and potatoes of good on-page SEO can't be identified or corrected with tools.
Site Architecture for Hilariously Easy Ranking
Strategic site architecture is what allows me to rank pages throughout websites with a minimal amount of links. As I have shown many times, I use the "silo" structure for every single website I create or work on.
Here is the linking structure I prefer (from case study #2):
For an eCommerce website, you would want something like this:
A few tips to remember about site architecture:
Google only counts the first anchor text – you need to make sure, if you are using the same link on more than once on a page, that you place your best anchor text first. This can easily be done through the navigation.
Be smart about your navigation – eCommerce stores struggle with this. If you're selling shoes and you have a tab for color, your drop-down menu should have "Blue Shoes", "Red Shoes", etc. Not "Red", "Blue", etc. Another way to combat this issue if you don't want a clutter nav bar, is to create landing pages.
For example, you would create a category/landing page for shoe colors, write some awesome unique content, place your "Blue Shoes", "Red Shoes", and other internal links directly on the page, and the link the landing page in the navigation bar. This strategy reduces a ton of clutter in your navigation bar and is best for link flow.
Don't go crazy with the internal links – Google has said before that anywhere between 100-150 internal links per page is optimal. From a usability and link flow standpoint, it's a good standard to live by.
Okay, so now you have unique content on every single page of your website, you have created site architecture for optimal link flow, you have placed keywords in the most strategic positions, and you're no longer making any of the silly mistakes I listed above.
But there's one more piece to on-page SEO equation: how fast your website loads.
7 Easy Steps to Make Your Website Faster
Website speed is critical for your website's SEO, crawl rate, and user experience. Do not neglect it.
I'm by no means a developer or have ever claimed to be, but I'm a good reader/learner/action-taker, so I have figured out how to make website's faster in the easiest way possible. If you're using WordPress, then it's a piece of cake. If you have a custom design or something other than WordPress, then you'll have to implement these changes manually.
1. Test current your speed with this tool
2. Backup your website
3. Download W3 Total Cache
4. Read this guide about how to optimize W3 Total Cache
5. Sign-up for CloudFlare
6. Download Smush.it
7. Test your speed again and be happy
If you take the time to optimize your website, fix the technical issues, develop a quality architecture, and increase the speed of your website, then you are going to love how easy it is to rank your website once you start link building.
I know this is probably a lot to digest and I'm sure you have questions, so please leave a comment below.
Thanks for reading!

There's a lot of cool JS frameworks out there and it seems you can't go more than a couple of weeks without a new one popping up. So what's special about React?
In this session I will cover some of the basic principles of React and will show how React fits perfectly into the MVC pattern, giving you all the goodness of React on the client with the stability of .NET on the server. I will end up with some examples of how to implement this an MVC project using React.NET and TypeScript.

It's safe to say that Brian Michael Bendis' heavy emphasis on the Hood in New Avengers has become a rather polarizing issue amongst hardcore Marvel fanboys. Whether the character works better under Bendis' aggrandized new trappings or whether Parker Robbins is better suited for more grounded terrain has been discussed to death at this point. Consider the debate over. With just one issue of Dark Reign: The Hood Jeff Parker and Kyle Hotz provide ample proof that the answer rests somewhere squarely in the middle.
As the Hood's grey-ish bad guy cap has gradually transitioned itself into a firm shade of black, it's hard to argue that the character hasn't lost a bit of his luster over the past year. Bendis did a fair enough job reestablishing Brian K. Vaughan's capricious wannabe into a veritable powerhouse, yet even so, the easing off of some of the reluctance in the Hood's behavior has left him rather cold and slightly less interesting.
In the original Hood miniseries, Vaughan cast the character as perpetually in over his head. Even a simple grab and run became a huge ordeal, partly because of a lack of preparation, partly because of total ineptitude. What made the character fascinating wasn't the basic conceit of a thug coming into a power much too large for him to properly handle; the depth of the Hood came from the character's constant inner battle between a feigned arrogance and an underlying self-hatred.
Jeff Parker, to some degree, harkens back to the character's roots as the Hood comes to grips with who he has become. In a way, Robbins is the Gaius Baltar of the Marvel universe—weak and mostly self-serving, yet not entirely evil either. He stumbles into some heavy stuff and from that point on he's just trying to survive and make the best of the mess he's inherited. He doesn't want to be selfish, but he knows that he is and ultimately doesn't have the strength to change.
What this all adds up to is an extremely strong core for a miniseries. Jeff Parker hinges his entire story on inner turmoil. Sure he promises for all the convoluted melodrama that comes along with running an organization of super-villains, but the author also makes clear his far more grounded intentions. The logistical headaches of the Hood's business will undoubtedly provide their own thrills, but at its heart, Dark Reign: The Hood is about one man's struggle with his inner demons (both figurative and literal), as he tries to figure out which side of his personality constitutes his real self.
To me, this is much more interesting than a simple thug's ascension into a position of power. And thanks in large part to Kyle Hotz's outstanding return to the character he helped create, this issue proves a more than worthy follow up to what is perhaps Vaughan's most underrated story. Ignore the Dark Reign logo and re-label it in your head as The Hood No. 2. There is plenty to like here, even for the character's biggest detractors.
