50 Greatest Spider-Man Creators: Writers #20-16
In honor of the fiftieth anniversary of Spider-Man, we're doing four straight months of polls having to do with Spider-Man, culminating with the release of the Amazing Spider-Man film in July. The last installment will deal with Spider-Man stories, but this month will be about Spider-Man's writers and artists.
You all voted, now here are the results! Here is a master list of all the creators listed so far. We continue with Spider-Man writers #20-16…
20. Zeb Wells
Zeb Wells got his start on Spider-Man writing a few humorous off-kilter stories. One for Tangled Web (where we examine what is going on with the Frog-Man and his son) and a two-parter for Peter Parker: Spider-Man where the Sandman helps ruin Spring Break. He then closed out Peter Parker: Spider-Man with a short run from #51-57. When Brand New Day came about, Wells was one of the original members of the Brain Trust. His solo issues were: #555-557, 577 and 629-633. He also wrote the story in #583 where Spider-Man meets President Obama. Wells wrote a Dark Reign mini-series starring Anti-Venom. He also wrote two Carnage mini-series. Recently, he was named the second ongoing Spider-Man writer, launching Avenging Spider-Man, a Spider-Man team-up book.
Wells has, is and likely always will be best known for his sense of humor, but like many other comic book writers known for writing humorous stories (Joe Kelly, Peter David, Mark Waid) the same ability to find humor in situations also tends to help a writer cut to the human core of a situation. This allows Wells to do very strong character-driven work. A good example is in a recent issue of Avenging Spider-Man where Spider-Man learns that Captain America was a comic book artist when he was a teenager. Spider-Man feels that this is a bonding experience between the two. The other Avengers differ…
The scene is played for laughs initially but Wells gets great use out of the dual motivations of Spider-Man and Captain America when it comes to this shared identity. Spider-Man is thrilled to find that he has something in common with Captain America while Captain America would rather gloss over his youthful nerdiness. Like I said, he cuts to the human core of a situation. It's a great piece of writing. Avenging Spider-Man is neat in how it allows Wells to examine a variety of Marvel characters and give his take on them. Good stuff.
19. Chris Claremont
Chris Claremont has written Spider-Man in a few different places. An Annual here, a guest appearance there, a mini-series in another place, but he is best known for his stint on Marvel Team-Up, particularly the issues he wrote with artist John Byrne (before the two were paired on X-Men). He wrote Team-Up from #57-89 (with a couple of fill-ins here and there).
Claremont did an especially nice job developing the guest stars. The Wasp, for instance, had more meat in her two-issue story in Marvel Team-Up (where she seeks revenge after believing that her husband had been murdered) than she had in the pages of the Avengers in some time (this was pre-Roger Stern, of course). Claremont also famously had Spider-Man team-up with the original cast of Saturday Night Live.
In addition, Claremont used Team-Up to bring in his creation from Marvel UK, Captain Britain…
18. Joe Kelly
Like Wells, Kelly is adept at mixing humorous stories with deeply personal tales based around strong character development. Kelly was one of the first new members of the Web-Heads after Brand New Day began. His solo issues were #575-576, 595-599 (introducing American Son), 606-607, 611, 617, 625, 634-637 (the Grim Hunt).
Perhaps his best-received issues were his two stories spotlighting the Rhino. The original Rhino has retired and is now married. He is challenged by a new man calling himself the Rhino. The Rhino's wife begs him not to return to his suit. Spider-Man, too, pleads with him that if he returns to being the Rhino, all the growth he showed after getting married would be thrown away. He agrees with Spider-Man, stating that he loves his wife so much that he is willing to be a coward for her. The happy ending is short lived when eight issues later, the new Rhino attacks the Rhino and his wife, killing her.
Pretty rough stuff (the initial captions are by Daily Bugle reporter Norah Winters)…
Kelly, by the way, is responsible for one of the funniest uses of Spider-Man back issues ever, as he had an issue of Deadpool where Deadpool is transported back in time to a Lee/Romita issue of Amazing Spider-Man!
17. Len Wein
Len Wein was only the third regular scripter in Amazing Spider-Man history when he took over the title from Gerry Conway with issue #151. He wrote the book from #151-181.
His initial story has what has since been a standard plot approach for writers starting on a book like Spider-Man, do a cool revamp on a minor character. In Wein's case, he brought back the Shocker and made him badass. Wein did good work during his run continuing the strong foundation that Gerry Conway had laid for the Peter/Mary Jane relationship. Wein was big on moving things forward. During Wein's run, he had Betty Brant and Ned Leeds marry, he had Liz Allen and Harry Obsorn get engaged, and he also introduced Dr. Marla Madison, who later became J. Jonah Jameson's wife. Conway had avoided many of the classic Spider-Man villains during his run, but Wein brought lots of them back into play, including a new Green Goblin (while still introducing new ones, as well).
I have always been especially impressed with how well Wein was able to mix character-driven stories with action-packed stories (Amazing Spider-Man penciler Ross Andru was a big help there, of course).
One of my favorite Wein issues was early on in his run where he had a former football player turned scientist be blackmailed by some bad guys through the kidnapping of his daughter. Early in the story, the man told the tale of how he nearly won "the big game" with a punt return that he took from his own goal line all the way to the 1 yard line of the other team. He fell short. Later in the issue, he reproduces that run, but this time it is to protect his daughter…
This time he "wins," even though he dies in the process (Spider-Man shows up to avenge his death, though). Classic stuff.
Also, Wein gave us a Lizard versus Stegron fight! Stegron, people!
16. Paul Jenkins
Paul Jenkins was hired to take over Peter Parker: Spider-Man in 2000 (after a powerful arc on Webspinners starring the Chameleon with Sean Phillips). Ten issues into his run, J. Michael Straczynski took over the other Spider-Man title, giving Marvel quite a pair of writers on their main Spidey books.
Jenkins did a really great job on Peter Parker: Spider-Man. He wrote it from #20-41, then #44-50. A story arc he did with Humberto Ramos from #44-47 was so well-received that Marvel decided to give them their own title, Spectacular Spider-Man. Jenkins wrote that book from #1-22 and then the last issue of the series, #27, his farewell to the Spider-books. Jenkins also did a Daredevil/Spider-Man mini-series in 2001.
Jenkins was the master of the one-off stories. He would turn the spotlight on various interesting characters (typically new characters) and show how Spider-Man affected their life in one way or the other. Like the investigator who is convinced he discovered Spider-Man's identity, or the handicapped man who watches a Spider-Man/Morbius fight, unable to let anyone know what is going on. Stuff like that.
One of his most acclaimed issues involved a young boy in a bad neighborhood with a drug addict mother who retreats to his fantasies to get through his life, as he imagines himself to be Spider-Man's best friend (his aunt is with a guy who is an actual good role model, and clearly Spider-Man is representing that man's influence on the boy)…
I don't know why my wife is cutting onions at this hour. Excuse me for a moment.
Okay, moving on…Jenkins also had a strong one-off with Peter and Uncle Ben and their relationship with the New York Mets (with the Mets' constant futility seen as a symbol of Peter's life, plus the fact that things could always turn around any game). There was an awesome silent issue (for 'Nuff Said month). Jenkins did a good Green Goblin storyline, as well (it was the Ramos one I mentioned that got them their own new title). Hopefully we'll see some more Spider-Man stories from him in the future! I'll even accept one featuring Type Face!

Hitler and Charity
Never, never, attempt to answer a hypothetical question. Here's one. If a medical charity like Medicin Sans Frontieres had existed in 1945 and Hitler turned up at their tent flap wounded - would they have treated him? Then what would they have done? And if the British or Americans found out that Hitler was in the tent hospital, would they have been justified in bombing it? There are those who suggest that aid charities actually prolong conflicts and that without the food and other humanitarian supplies they provide, one side in a conflict would be forced to surrender sooner and the killing would end earlier. There are even those who say that sending out rescue ships to look for sinking migrant ships in the Mediterranean does not reduce the number of drownings. The argument goes that a greater number of people take to the seas in leaky rafts, dinghies and derelict fishing boats in the belief that they will be rescued if things go pear-shaped. And therefore, so the argument continues, a greater number of ships sink and despite the efforts of the rescue ships, a record number of people are being drowned in the Mediterranean. What do you think? I think we have to think carefully about the full consequences of the things we do in our attempts to help.

Many people - even those without diabetes - exhibit signs of low blood sugar. Read on for 5 subtle signs of hypoglycemia.
Many people - even those without diabetes - exhibit signs of low blood sugar. Read on for 5 subtle signs of hypoglycemia.
Feeling suddenly weak or shaky is one of the better known signs of low blood sugar, but that doesn't mean it's always easy to notice. Weakness, particularly in the arms or legs, or a feeling of being jittery or trembling could also mean it's time to eat.
Physical symptoms aren't the only signs of low blood sugar; emotional instability can also occur. In fact, if you suspect you have fluctuating blood sugar, your symptoms might include things such as feeling suddenly overwhelmed, frustrated, angry, irritated, or like you could burst into tears.
Find yourself breaking into a cold sweat for no reason? Low blood sugar may be to blame. The stress on your body means that it has to work harder, and a cold sweat is a classic sign that your body is having to work too hard to function. Other symptoms might be a rapid or irregular heartbeat, or even blurred vision.
Hypoglycemia can bring on feelings of nausea or extreme hunger. Traditionally, eating sugar helps raise blood sugar levels, but try to eat a balanced snack or meal soon afterward, to avoid a repeat sugar crash.
When blood sugar is low, it can make you a little spacey. You may find yourself rambling, or others may have a tough time following your conversation. But slurred speech or confusion are more serious signs of dangerously low blood sugar, and should not be taken lightly.

A simple understated design, the Gents Vintage Stainless Steel
Watch GS02424-21 is a great example of the Rotary watch range,
featuring a stainless steel case body and a buckled black leather
Rotary Watches Ltd was established in the Swiss city of La
Chaux-de-Fonds in 1895, with an importation deal leading to Britain
becoming the company's biggest market. In 1940 Rotary won the
contract to supply time pieces to the British Army, which thanks to
the military draft of the Second World War put their watches into
nearly every household in the country. Today, Rotary remains one of
the 'superbrands' in the United Kingdom.

Infatuations by Javier Marias
This is one of the novels which explore the possibilities of the form, sum and substance of novel. A fresh perspective of the art of novel and a fresh look at the relationships and human feelings and reality. Though it is written in first person and realistic style, it delves deep into the inner worlds of each of the characters from the point of view of a woman who starts observing a couple, a husband and wife, in a cafe, from a distance. It gives pleasure and a sense of normal day to her if she watches the couple in the morning at the break fast. This may happen to us. She admires the couple for their deep love which shows in their speech and actions. After some time she does not find the couple coming to the cafe and later finds that the husband has been killed by a madman by accident. Finding the wife at the cafe one day, she goes to her to extend her condolences and she is told that the couple had also been watching her and have also given her a name. She goes to the house of the woman with the good thought that it may help her to overcome her grief.
The narrator, a woman meets two people there. In the next chapter, the narrator tells that they, the narrator and the man she met have an affair, neither romantic nor very demanding, but just an affair without any commitments on either side. One of those days when she visits him, she discreetly comes to know that the death of the man was not an accident that happened in the spur of the moment but a well planned conspiracy by the professor, the man with whom the narrator has an affair. The terror of knowing the truth about the murder puts her in an ethical delimma. The professor finds out that the narrator knows the truth and both have to live with that in fear of each other. The woman fears but also dares to question the professor about the murder. The professor spins an unbelievable story of the husband having a kind of cancer and having requested the professor to erase him without him knowing the day or method adopted by the professor to execute this plan. Both of them knew this the other persons is not convinced it to be true. But their affairs comes to an end.
After some time, the narrator finds the professor with the ex-wife of the murdered man in a restaurant, probably married. She goes to them and interacts with them as if she does not know anything and finally departs without any comments.
All at once I enjoyed the pleasure of reading Dostoevesky, Dickens and masters of magical realism, together in one novel. The nature of love, hate, relationship, sex, jealousy conspiracy and death and in fact, full spectrum of human emotions and feelings, we experience or see in this world are explored in great details in the novel. Though, the novel is in the form of stream of consciousness, there are dramatic events, thrilling revelations which compel one to read. Though there is a sense of justice, good and bad, there is no resolution of the conflict between good and bad. These are left as they are. We are only bystanders in a great drama. Suddenly we find ourselves into the family life of an individual and with the same suddenness we get out of the situation at the end. No moral judgements and life goes on for every one.
We may also say, in the same manner as that of the author, 'sometimes it may be in our interest that we do not know the truth, for knowing the truth may trouble or harm us more than not knowing the truth.
Altogether, an excellent novel to read.

Thirty Days of Thanksgiving... Day 3
This time of year we are often reminded of all our blessings. So a lot of my Facebook friends and I do a daily post of what we are thankful for. Today is day three and I am most thankful today for my children. I feel so blessed to have them in my life. It doesn't matter how frazzled Ian makes me feel (today has been no exception), or how fussy Evan gets. I just look at them and I am overcome with joy and love. Then I am reminded that as much as I love my boys, how much more God loves us. And then I am humbled beyond belief. He has blessed me so much more than I could ever deserve. I will forever be grateful for His tender mercies and love.

Baby Fever???!!!
I can not believe I am actually saying this, especially right now. I want another baby. I know, I must be crazy. I mean, seriously, Evan is only EIGHT MONTHS OLD!!! I must have lost my marbles. There they go, rolling around on the floor. Oh, darn, that one went in the vent. Now I'll never be completely sane again... Anyway... I think more than anything, it has to do with the fact that two of my best friends and my sister-in-law are pregnant and a ton of the girls I went to school with are also expecting. So right at this moment, I feel very bombarded with baby bumps. I have two awesome little boys and I thought for sure that no matter what, I'd be content with two children. But alas, there is a yearning in my heart for a little girl. One that has my eyes and her daddy's smile. A little curly-headed girl (yes, in my vision she has curly hair although neither my husband nor myself do) in frilly little dresses coming to ask me to play tea party. When we found out Evan was definitely a boy, I was over the moon. I honestly wanted two boys. Partly because I already had all the boy stuff and they were going to be born in the same season, so it was better financially for us to have another boy. And partly because I thought it would be great to see two little boys wrestling around my living room and ganging up on Daddy. But now, I want a girl. We have never set it in stone that we would only have two children, but I feel like my husband would be content if we only had the two boys. He has said as much to me. But with my two best friends both expecting girls, it makes me want one even more. I can't imagine how bad the longing will be when they actually get here. Never mind that I hate being pregnant and have horrible morning sickness and heartburn. Never mind that I feel as big as a house and went ten days late with Evan. I would gladly do it all again just for a little girl. Now you might say, "Well, even if you did get pregnant again, you only have a 50% chance that it would be a girl." I really am aware of this fact. I am also not oblivious to the fact that there is only one female on my father-in-law's side of the family going back several generations. Even knowing all this, it still makes me want to try for a girl. And if it were another boy... Well I'd guess we'd just have to keep him and love him too :) Just kidding. I'd love another boy just as much as I love Ian and Evan. I think I would probably also want to try just once more for a girl. But Hubby has already vetoed that in a big way. Because we (he) are (is) pretty sure we are done having kids, he has decided that if I got pregnant again, it would be "snip-snip" time for him. So, now, I am at a loss for what to do. Do I pester and plead and beg until Hubby gives in and we have one more (possibly male) child? And if it did turn out to be a boy, would I secretly resent the fact that he was not a she??? Would I constantly be wondering about having a girl? I just don't know. I would love any child that we were blessed with, but I can't deny that the longing for a girl is very real in my heart. I can only pray that the Lord reveals to Derek that we should have another child (because that is Derek's stipulation for having another baby --- a heavenly vision) and sees fit to make it a girl. I have been praying extra hard lately :) and hoping that I can be patient and wait for an answer. Whether it be a yes or no. And then be content with the outcome.

Solar-Powered Street Sculpture Tests Human Perception
An experimental installation called 'The Beacon' on London's Old Street is hoping to offer answers on how human perception works. Designed by a neuroscientist at the University College of London, the six-metre tall installation features brightly patterned plexiglass lit by electricity from solar panels, some of which include solar paving stones embedded in a mix of resin and local recycled glass. It's pretty cool, though project seems like an utilitarian coupling of science-meets-environment with this bulky piece of urban art being the love-child.

Rocking Bonnie!By LovelyAngelLady December 24, 2014 Bonnie has great curls, is a really comfy length and has a nice long part. Her part can have a more defined appearance if the concealer method is used. Her curls can be separated, just using the fingers, but they can clump together in certain areas. I just separate the curls a few times a day to maintain the look that I like. She is nice and soft. I ♥ the color BA3260. The roots are darker with a blend of blonde and brown, so gorgeous.

Tony Persaud and Chris Menezes, of Infinity Honey, believe that "nectar" can be brought to people in an all-natural way for a better product!
Infinity Honey is a small, and growing, collective of hometown beekeepers focused on providing flavorful all natural honey to their customers. That means using time-honored methods instead of relying on the heavy usage of chemicals and pesticides.
The Flavor of Infinity Honey
Honey is flavored by where the bees find their nectar source. Infinity Honey features several varieties that back this fact up in a tasty manner. You can choose from Clover, Blueberry, Sage, and more.
Tony, shown diving into some flavor teeth first, believes this natural flavor process is preserved and accentuated in every serving of Infinity Honey. According to Persaud the flavor of any product, especially Infinity Honey, is a step above others when it is done naturally.
"The taste of Infinity Honey - all flavors - is as pure as possible due to the lack of chemicals and pesticides," Tony Persaud said. "This shows up in every serving, every bottle, of Infinity Honey."
Persaud and Menezes also think that Infinity Honey is perfect for more than just culinary uses. These include facial scrubs, soaps, and more – all with Infinity Honey as one of the ingredients. All of their items will soon be available on their ETSY Shop - www.etsy.com/shop/infinityHoney
Made in the USA
Persaud, of New York, and Menezes, of Pennsylvania, started working with honey bees as a hobby decades ago. Over the years the two friends became a team as they swapped tips, stories, and worked together on several projects.
This included everything from perfecting the production of natural honey to working with local government officials with swarm removal. Today; Infinity Honey is a growing collective of honey producers that focus on natural, chemical free, Made in the USA honey production.
Both Persaud and Menezes came to the United States from other countries and have embraced the American Dream. Persaud says everything started when his good friend Menezes was a youngster growing up in South America.
"My friend started out working with bees when he was a kid growing up in Guyana, South America. He learned a lot about the natural way to produce fantastic tasting honey. Many years later, I guess early in the 1980's, I started swapping ideas with him as he was working with his hives in PA while I was located with my hives in the Bronx. We've become great friends; and we've come a long way with our honey! That's why we like to give something back."
Chris is shown working on one of his all-natural and pesticide free hives.
Giving Back
Infinity Honey helps with safe bee swarm removals while working with local EMS units. They also donate a portion of their sales to help education in their birthplaces including a school in India. Infinity Honey is also involved in local NY and PA charities and community events.
The opening picture is of School Children thanking everyone at Infiniety Honey for their donations and efforts in helping to save honey bees as well as trees.

PyWorks Stuff
For the 2008 PyWorks convention, I will be presenting about LDAP and Python. The presentation is really about demystifying LDAP and encouraging people to use and extend LDAP for their config file needs. In efforts to make my point, the last half of my presentation will be a time for a demo. This entry is your basic landing point where you can download the scripts, presuming you are looking for a copy of the scripts and/or slides after seeing my presentation? (oh! nevermind, your google search landed you here)
For the demo, I will be leveraging the fail2ban project. It is a python based application which scans typical application logs for security failures and bans IPs from being able to connect again. It also uses the builtin ConfigParser module for reading it's 30+ config files, which is why I have chosen to use it. For the demo, I have created two scripts:
The first one, configparser2ldap.py is used to process a set of config files and automatically generate LDAP schema as well as LDIF data.
Next, I have my ldapconfig.py module where I extended the ConfigParser module to support making queries to LDAP. I am basically overriding the
read() method only and leaving the rest of the module alone. This way the only modifications to the fail2ban application are how it is instantiating the ConfigParser and I won't have to become a full time fail2ban developer if I want to centralize the configuration data in LDAP.
And that is really the main point of my presentation: The power of centralizing your configuration data and how it can drastically change how you administer your large scale server farm.
LDAP + Python Slides.
configparser2ldap.py script to auto-generate LDAP schema and LDIF from ConfigParser compatible config files.
ldapconfig.py python module which inherits the ConfigParser and supports optionally pulling config data from LDAP.

More competition interim measures against EDF
Conseil de la concurrency decision (34 pages in French, PDF) imposing interim measures on French incumbent electricity company EDF requiring it to offer terms for wholesale electricity sales which do not amount to a margin squeeze on its competitors in the downstream retail market. The Conseil is continuing its substantive consideration of possible margin squeeze or discriminatory abuse infringements.
The decision follows from the April 2007 interim measures relating to EDF's terms and conditions of retail supply, and comes days ahead of full electricity market opening in France.

The next time the kids don't want to do their homework, remind them that knowledge is power. That's what the ancient Mayans believed. Those with the most knowledge -- astronomers, priests, doctors -- lived closest to the temples. We learned this, and more, when we visited the ancient city of Tulum, a spectacular, oceanfront ruin located along the Mexican coast, 75 miles south of Cancun. Tulum is one of the last cities inhabited and built by the Mayans.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention we're less than a year away from Dec. 21, 2012, the date the ancient Mayan Long Count calendar forecasts will signal the end of all humanity. But experts aren't convinced and I'm not worried.
Though safety is a major concern for tourists traveling to Mexico, here on the Yucatan Peninsula -- a glorious stretch of Caribbean, which runs more than 80 miles along the coast, starting just 10 miles south of Cancun and including the seaside village of Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen, Akumal and Tulum, as well as the amazing Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, no one I met was worried. They were too busy enjoying that perfect combination of sun, beach and water (snorkel in the largest natural aquarium in the world at Xel-Ha Park), foreign culture (great place for the kids to practice their Spanish), food, and, of course, time-traveling back to an ancient culture. This area, after all, is more than 1,000 miles from the region specified in the U.S. State Department's warning about travel to Mexico. Even better, you may get a bargain.
You have your choice of more than 300 hotels from tiny 15-room beachfront hotels like the Playa Azul in Tulum to massive all-inclusives like those from Barcelo and Iberostar to small upscale condos like the Condo Hotels right in the heart of Playa del Carmen with its pedestrian Fifth Avenue that teens especially will love. (Book three nights or more and get 15 percent off, plus breakfast. Book seven nights and get an additional 10 percent off.)
Let's not forget manicured resorts like the Fairmont Mayakoba, which has taken the lead in sustainable tourism and makes efforts to incorporate local culture in all of its programs, even the spa, which features local herbs, oils and extracts and treatments, including Mayan clay purification. Resort shops feature local Mayan handicrafts. (Check out Fairmont Savers rates that can save you 30 percent off the best rates.) Many people think your only options here are big all-inclusive resorts. Actually, 75 percent of hotels here have fewer than 100 rooms. (We loved the 88-room, all-inclusive Ceiba del Mar Beach and Spa Resort, just south of Cancun.)
Another small all-inclusive, the 148-room Azul Beach Hotel, is ideal for young families with its gourmet baby food, Fisher-Pricetoy loaner program, kids club and beachfront playground. (Book from May 1 to Dec. 22 and kids 13 and under stay free here and at the larger Azul Sensatori Hotel by Karisma and adults are 20 percent off.)Wherever you stay, you should get out and explore. (Read more about my visits here at my trip diaries here.)
Tulum -- at its height between the 13th and 15th centuries -- is one of the best preserved Maya sites and the high cliffs surrounding this coastal town protected it from hurricanes even in ancient time. It is a great ruin to visit with the kids because it is relatively small and when you are finished, you can walk down to the beach and cool off in the water.Our guide, Gabriel Morales, explains that perhaps only 800 people -- those with the most knowledge -- lived within the city while thousands more lived outside. (Note: It is smart to get a guide at the entrance. It's less than $50 for four people.)
Time travel on a beach vacation? That's not all. Swim in an underground cenote (deep water-filled sinkholes). These underground river systems crisscross this region. You can even explore a cave. Yes, we did that too at Rio Secreto and it might be one of the most unique experiences I've ever had, though I wouldn't bring kids younger than six.Our guide, Alfredo Kuri Ogalde, led us as we sloshed through water, squeezed through narrow openings and floated along taking care not to touch any of the amazing formations. The only light is from the light on our helmets.What makes this cave so unique is that it's the only discovered cave not completely flooded. The formations -- orange, sparkling crystal, calcium blue gray -- are also so fantastic -- there are thousands of stalagmites overhead; big ones, small ones -- because the petrified coral reef is more porous, allowing the formations to grow more quickly.
Mayan warriors had to find their way through the cave before going off to war. The theory was that if they confronted the nine gods of death and survived, maybe they could cheat death again in battle.The Mayans believed that when they died, their souls had to pass through the underworld to be reborn ... as we will be when we return to the surface, we're told.
I don't know if we've been reborn. But when we get back outside, everything seems much brighter -- and different somehow.

my mother is dying and she will pass shortly. She has had Alzheimer's, a sad disease which takes away the person and often, sadly divides families in a way that other diseases do not.
I am not sad, as Mums passing will be a happy release for her, and she is seemingly unaware of what is happening to her. Its been a journey of five years for us, traveling this rickety rocky path with Mum. There have been good times, (yes there can be good times) and truly bad times, and I don't regret the decision we made to look after Mum at home. Thank you Dave for coming on this journey with me and supporting me. Thanks to Albert and Amy for your support.
To anyone making this journey themselves I can highly recommend www.alz.org as being an excellent source of information and support for everyone, anywhere. They saved my sanity a number of times over the years with information and support, never judging as I ranted and raved about the injustices or theorised as to why this or that happened. These people know Alzheimer because they have Alzheimer's, or have looked after someone with it or are in the midst of looking after some one.
The link is on my blog list.
Kind regards Liz

Guilty Pleasures: Superman III
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's our Scott McKenzie in shorts and tights...
Let me begin by stating an irrefutable fact: Superman III does not exist. It does not exist because the events contained in the movie were removed from the screen canon of Superman with the release of 2006's Superman Returns. Just as Highlander II was quickly removed from the memory of the general public with the release of subsequent sequels, the same was done for this movie and its partner in crime, Superman IV: The Quest For Peace. Any attempts to resurrect this fossil are futile for the sole reason that Superman III sucks and I'm going to tell you why.
Exhibit A: The funniest man in the world (in 1983)
I'll start at the beginning. Instead of flying through the depths of space with titles whizzing past the audience, we are introduced to the true intended star of Superman III: Richard Pryor (exhibit A). The Salkinds insisted on a comedy theme and roped in the biggest stand-up comedian of the time, but by doing so heaped far too much pressure on their new star, which did nothing for the emotional state of a man who was not well-known for his mental stability. They had already flexed their collective might by getting rid of Richard Donner from the first Superman sequel, and effectively cut Margot Kidder out of the second after she voiced her disgust at their actions.
Exhibit B: Superman or Charlie Chaplin?
Following the introduction of Gus Gorman, we're then treated to a rehearsed slapstick sequence (exhibit B) instead of the impressive credits we expect, nay deserve, from a Superman movie. Throughout the movie, the comedy is pitched far too broad, often venturing into spoof territory. In one particular montage that is nothing more than a collection of badly-written skits, the red and green men on a crossing signal start to fight each other. Surely only Superman and anything or anyone else from Krypton are supposed to be the supernatural elements in the stories, not any old nonsense that suits the writers for the sake of a cheap laugh? I mean, there's no way Gus Gorman could ski off the top of a building and land on the street below without a scratch, and when he does it makes a mockery of the peril Lois Lane finds herself in before she meets Superman in the first movie.
Of all the Superman movies, number three has aged the worst. The reason for this is its secondary theme: computers. Following his failed attempts to exist on state benefits, Gus Gorman somehow turns into a computer programming genius. The only problem with including computer technology in any movie is that it badly dates that movie. How could we believe that the Superman that returns to Earth after going looking for Krypton could have been gone for any less than twenty years if Superman III was to remain a credible inclusion in the series?
Exhibit C: Comb your hair, you naughty Superman!
My learned friend for the defence will no doubt dazzle you with tales of how Superman III is the movie with the darkest moments, that it was originally supposed to be called Superman vs. Superman. I'm willing to concede that the fight between Superman and his evil alter-ego is a refreshing twist, but in the same way that one spray of air freshener doesn't hold back a pungent smell, one decent scene doesn't stop Superman III stinking either. Even when he stops being a goody-goody, the filmmakers still milk it for cheap laughs, whether he's stopping the leaning tower of Pisa from leaning or blowing out the Olympic torch, and the only way they could think of making Christopher Reeve look evil was to make his suit a bit darker and ruffle his hair (exhibit C).
I will leave the ladies and gentlemen of the jury with a clip that shows them how the opening credits of Superman III could, nay should, have looked (exhibit D) and allow them to dream of what could have been if only the producers had decided to make a movie half as good as the first two entries in the series.
Exhibit D: What could have been
I'm afraid that my colleague for the prosecution could not be more wrong. I'll admit that Superman III is no classic by any means, but it is an adequate addition to the series and does not deserve to be excluded from the Superman canon. For starters, it is the first Superman movie that Christopher Reeve received top billing for and contains one of his strongest performances. In addition to playing the dual roles of Superman and Clark Kent, he is asked to play the third role of Evil Superman. Through his performance, we get to see his wide acting range that goes from slapstick comedy, sensitivity and heroism through to arrogance and self-doubt.
Exhibit E: Combine harvester rescue
Superman III also contains set-pieces so memorable that they cannot be removed from the minds of fans, no matter how much the prosecution pushes for a guilty verdict. Rescuing Ricky from certain death in the jaws of a combine harvester (exhibit E), being chased by missiles through the Grand Canyon, Gus Gorman embezzling half-cents and the junkyard fight are scenes that stick in the mind long after the credits have rolled. Lest we forget the moment where Vera Webster is caught in the supercomputer during the climactic scene and is turned into a half-human half-robot monster (exhibit F), which gave countless children nightmares throughout the 80s.
Exhibit F: Don't worry, it's only a movie
I'd like to reiterate the prosecution's point about how the filmmakers made Superman look evil. Yes, he is dressed in a dark suit with ruffled hair, but is that any different from the techniques used to make Peter Parker look evil in Spider-Man 3? I would therefore ask that if the jury are willing to find this movie guilty, they must also do the same for Sam Raimi's movie.
Prosecution: Objection!
Judge: Sustained, although the prosecution makes a good point.
Superman III is also notable because we get to see Clark Kent of the present day spend time in his home town of Smallville. The relationship he shares with Lana Lang is at the core of the movie and works well, and Annette O'Toole was a logical addition to the cast of the Smallville TV series. Yes, Lex Luthor is missing but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Even though Superman may be the greatest comic-book superhero, his selection of nemeses isn't as wide as Batman or Spider-Man and it's good to see him go up against someone else, even if it is Robert Vaughan and Mrs Billy Connolly.
I will leave the ladies and gentlemen of the jury with a clip that shows just how dark and compelling this movie is (exhibit G) and ask them to consider the following fact: at least it's not as bad as Superman IV!
Prosecution: Objection!
Judge: Sustained. The jury is instructed to disregard the defence's last comment. Superman III is the only movie on trial here. Superman IV was already found guilty a long time ago and has no relevance on this trial.
Exhibit G: Superman vs the bottle
It is now over to the people of DVDActive: guilty or not guilty?

I watch "Superman III" all the time just for the entertainment value. Same goes for "Superman IV". But, SIII is definitely one I watch the most.

Chris Reeve brought his A-game to all 4 films. However, Supes 3 was just down right pitiful. When I watch it today and see that Charlie Chaplin slapstick opening credit scene I cringe. People want to talk about how Episode I was a monumental let down for some fans. HAH! That was a little indigestion compared to the kick in the family jewels fans received when this pile came out after we were treated to Supes 1 and 2.

This movie was so bizarre...it really wasn't a Superman movie...it was a Richard Pryor movie guest starring Superman...it has it's moments, but it was so mishandled by the whole creative team that it leaves a scar on the Superman mythos...

I thought "Superman The Movie", "Superman II" and "Superman Returns" were terrific films - - wonderfully cast, great special effects and a whole lotta fun. "Superman IV" was a complete disaster - - mainly because it was so incoherent due to extreme editing and poor special effects. "Superman III" falls somewhere in the middle - - it is nowhere near as good as the first 3 films mentioned, but it's leaps and bounds (pardon the pun) ahead of #4. There are some great parts to it - - the special effects, Lana Lang, Good/Evil Superman. The villains, particularly Richard Pryor, bring the whole thing crashing down. I was never a Richard Pryor fan to begin with. Regardless, he had no business being in a "Superman" film. Believe it or not, while the film was not a critical success, it was a box office hit (tho' not like the first two). Such a shame, considering how good #1 and #2 were (and still are).

I agree supes78. I definitely vote guilty on this one. I hope the next film or the one after that gives us a proper introduction to Linda Lee Daneveres/Kara Zor-El/Supergirl (or Superwoman), so we can eliminate Supergirl from the cannon as well as Supermans III and IV.

Supergirl shouldn't exist, she's just a pointless invention for equality because most superheroes are male. For every superhero there's a female version and are not needed.

...Wouldn't that be the joke the Raimi brothers were trying to make? I think a lot of folks misread that scene in Spider-Man 3.

While Superman III isn't the best of the series (that distinction goes to Superman I. Returns suck only for the reasons that Brandon Routh is a horrible Clark Kent/Superman and Kevin Spacey play Lex Luthor way too evil compared to Gene Hackman.), but III is still an alright movie. There were moments (the fighting crosing sign men, for one) that were a bit useless, but the good Clark Kent vs. Evil Superman scenes were great....the highlight of the movie. The end scenes where Superman fights the super computer sends you right back to the awesome cartoons of the '40s ! So, while not being the best of the series, III is hardly a horrible movie. IV would have to take that title.

Pac-Man has gone free to play. Namco has announced Pac-Man +Tournaments for Google Play. Players get to play through the standard Pac-Man mazes, including some brand new designs. The classic mode is completely free to play, with some daily free play options, though there's definitely opportunities to spend money. Just like the classic arcade games, it's going to beg for quarters, though at least you don't have to put a quarter in to start playing! Still, history repeats itself, and we're still playing Pac-Man decades later.
Players will compete for spots on the leaderboards and try to unlock achievements, plus there's the chance to win real prizes. Want to win plush ghosts? Go for it! Just don't expect them to be edible, even if you take power pellets beforehand. Pac-Man +Tournaments is available now for free on Google Play, which is an Android-exclusive launch.

Planting Guides
Soil Preparation: Remember that proper soil preparation is the key to healthy, vigorous blooming perennials. Use Yum Yum Mix and a high quality compost at recommended rates to prepare the soil. Inoculate the plant roots with Plant Success mycorrhizal inoculant. Planting: Plant according to the mature size of the plant. Don't be tempted to put the plants too close based on their size in the pots. They'll grow quickly and cover the space shown in the planting map. (Maps included only with Pre-Planned Gardens, not Collections.)
Fertilizing: Once annually in mid-fall, after plants begin to go dormant. Use Yum Yum Mix or Yum Yum Mix Winterizer at recommended rates to improve the soil and provide essential plant nutrients.Use it with high quality compost, mix half and half by volume and spread on top of the soil. Scratch it in lightly and water thoroughly. It is also beneficial to treat the plant roots with Plant Success® mycorrhizal root inoculant if you didn't do so at planting time. (Inoculation only needs to be done once.)
Mulching: In arid climates mulching is very beneficial. Coarse textured composts, shredded leaves, pine needles and composted bark are all excellent mulch materials. Apply to a depth of 1-2 inches. Replenish annually (or as needed).

USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
- If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
- If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

The minute the New Orleans Jazz Festival is over, the remembrance of all the food you've just savored leads to the next thought: I bet I could make that at home.
And that's possible, although some of the dishes might be trickier than others.
You have to work the nuances to make a pork chop sandwich taste like the one at the fest.
Just the idea of a bone-in pork chop sandwich baffles some die-hard festival foodies. I have seen Uptown noses instantly pointed in the air at the very mention of it.
The sandwich may not have the rustic cachet of the cochon de lait po-boy or the seafood glamor that is the soft-shell crab po-boy, but the humble creation -- two slices of white bread around a thinly sliced and floured deep-fried chop -- has a devout following.
That would include Richard Isolda, a Philadelphia lawyer who ate five of them during the first three days of the festival.
"On a good day, I skip breakfast and get two of them instead of just one, " Isolda said. "I usually end up at the Jazz and Heritage Stage, right there" where the sandwiches are sold from the booth of Miss Linda's Catering. "If you've got a bad hangover, you can hit that sandwich, and that ya ka mein, old sober is right there. And for dessert the mango freeze. You go two steps and you've got a complete meal at Jazz Fest."
Isolda and his wife are 20-year festival veterans and love New Orleans so much that they have recreated "as much as we could" in their Philadelphia suburb of Riverside, N.J., a house that Isolda photographed on Esplanade Avenue. He has dined around the world, and can talk knowledgeably about most of the food at Jazz Fest.
"We don't get that stuff up here. That's the whole point, " Isolda said in a phone interview after the festival. "It's hard to explain to certain Northerners up here why you would eat a pork chop sandwich with the bone in it. You eat around the thing. You take out the bone, you take out the flavor."
"It's so simple, " said "Treme" actor Steve Zahn as he bit into one on Thursday afternoon of the second fest weekend. "It's really good, " said Nate Lewis of Seattle, as he, too, sampled his first.
The guys were standing next to the booth where Linda Green sold about 4,000 of them during the seven days of the festival. On the counter were condiments in thin-tipped bottles, so customers could apply judicious amounts of mayonnaise, Creole mustard and/or catsup to personal taste.
Inside the booth, a cook tossed the meat in a tub of flour before lowering the chops into the deep fryer, where they tend to twist like thin-cut catfish filets.
"Mine are thin, " Green said. "They're much better fried thin than thick. Thick would still be raw, and I'm not going to kill nobody."
One secret of the sandwich is the seasoning in the flour, Green confirmed.
"You've got to season a pork chop. (Customers) want to taste, " she said. She doesn't season the meat itself. (This year, the sandwiches, and the ya ka mein and bread pudding she sells were all dedicated to a dear friend who worked in Green's booth and died in February, Emanuel "Ricky" Summers, Green noted.)
The portability of the sandwich is part of its appeal. It's inserted into a paper sleeve, neat and tidy to transport and eat with no utensils or even a napkin. Bonus: The bread acts as an insulator to keep the meat inside it warm.
Local food maven and host of WWNO radio program "Louisiana Eats, " Poppy Tooker, has taken to carrying one around in her handbag during the festival.
"They are crazy good, " Tooker said. "And they should be the required breakfast at Tales of the Cocktail because if you're going to have a big day of imbibing, it's the perfect foundation."
Plus, she said, she likes to joke, "If there's a pork chop sandwich in my purse, it must be Jazz Fest!"
Tooker learned this trick from her friend Michelle Nugent, the festival food director.
Nugent thought the festival needed more Louisiana street foods.
"I used to go to some of the zydeco festivals in southwest Louisiana, " Nugent said. "My favorite was the Original Southwest Louisiana Zydeco festival in Plaisance, and I kind of glommed on to the fact you could get a fried pork chop with the bone in it between two pieces of white bread with a little mayo on it.
"It was heaven because you didn't have to think about it. It was yummy. And I have a thing for bones.
"Several years ago, the people who were (vendors) before Miss Linda were doing a soul food plate. I suggested they do a fried pork-chop sandwich. They thought I was crazy out of my brain. I said, 'Take a leap of faith with me.' And people love it."
When those vendors elected not to return to the festival, Nugent "offered it to Miss Linda because I knew she would do a great job with it."
When Green sees Nugent on a festival morning, she automatically hands over one of the sandwiches.
"One day I was working with one of fellows out here on one of those scary bad weather days, and he said, 'I'm so hungry I can't stand it.'
"I pulled it out. 'As a matter of fact, I have a pork chop sandwich.'"
. . . . . . . .
To approximate Ms. Linda Green's Pork Chop Sandwich: First, find a butcher to slice (or otherwise procure) thin (about a quarter-inch) bone-in pork chops. Season all-purpose flour with your favorite seasoning mix. Heat oil for deep frying. When oil is hot, carefully lower chops into it. Cook briefly, just until the chops start to twist. Drain well.
Serve one chop between two slices of white bread, with mayonnaise, Creole mustard and catsup on the side.
. . . . . . . .
This copy-cat version of the festival's beloved Crawfish Bread came to us from a reader in Destrehan several years ago.
It has since become a reader favorite.
Jerry's Crawfish Bread
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup butter
1 cup chopped green onions (tops and bottoms)
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
4 toes finely chopped garlic
1/2 cup white wine
1 pound peeled crawfish tails with fat
8 ounces cream cheese, cut into small squares
Seasoning mix to taste (such as Seafood Magic)
1 (11-ounce) roll refrigerated French bread dough
8 ounces shredded "pizza mix" cheese (or mozzarella)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, saute chopped vegetables in olive oil and butter until wilted. Add crawfish tails with fat and wine; stir well and add cream cheese. Stir until melted. Add seasoning mix and cook until all is thickened, just a few minutes. Remove from heat and let flavors blend.
Carefully roll out French bread dough on a greased baking sheet. Spoon crawfish mixture onto center of dough. Sprinkle on shredded cheese mix. Fold dough over mixture to make a loaf. Cut 2 small slits in dough.
Bake about 20 minutes or until loaf is golden brown. Let set a few minutes and slice into serving-size pieces.
. . . . . . . .
The famous pheasant, quail and andouille gumbo is in the cookbook of Prejean's, the restaurant in Lafayette that serves umteen gallons of it at the festival. The recipe says to serve the gumbo over cooked rice with potato salad on the side.
The secret is a really dark roux.
Prejean's Pheasant, Quail and Andouille Gumbo
Makes 5 quarts
1/4 cup corn oil
1/2 pound andouille sausage, sliced in 1/4-inch-thick circles
1/4 pound Cajun smoked sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick circles
3/4 cup coarsely diced onion
1/2 cup coarsely diced bell pepper
1/4 cup finely diced celery
3 boneless quail
2 boneless pheasant breasts
2 tablespoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
2-1/2 quarts concentrated chicken stock
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon dark roux
2 teaspoons Kitchen Bouquet
3 dashes Tabasco
3 tablespoons sliced green onion tops
Heat corn oil to hot and maintain heat in an 8-quart cast-iron or other heavy pot over medium-low heat.
Meanwhile, in a nonstick skillet, brown andouille sausage, then add to oil in the cast-iron pot. Repeat process with Cajun sausage, onion, bell pepper and celery, quail and pheasant, sauteing each ingredient individually and transferring each ingredient to the cast-iron pot as it is browned.
Add the paprika, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne and bay leaf to the pot and stir. Mix in stock. Stir in roux until blended. Bring to a boil and cook 40 minutes, stirring attentively.
Add Kitchen Bouquet, Tabasco and green onions and stir well. Simmer 5 minutes longer. Serve hot.
. . . . . . . .
In 2006, Sheila Owens, who named Rosemint Tea after her mother, shared the recipe for the drink she developed more than two decades ago, one of the signature beverages sold at the Jazz Fest.
It's surprisingly simple. To duplicate Rosemint, steep Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger tea until it's strong, then add unfiltered Louisiana honey. Owen's ratio is 1 cup of dried tea per 1 gallon of water, plus 1 cup honey. The unfiltered honey, which is darker and more flavorful than regular honey, is the secret ingredient.

How To Be Happier: Know Yourself. It's Harder Than It Sounds.
I'm working on my Happiness Project, and you could have one, too . Everyone's project will look different, but it's the rare person who can't benefit. Join in—no need to catch up, just jump in right now. Each Friday's post will help you think about your own happiness project.
In my studies of happiness, I'm always asking myself, "Is this bit of happiness wisdom a universal truth, or is this just true for some people?"
I haven't identified many universal truths, but one of them is " Know thyself ." You can't build a happy life if you don't recognize and acknowledge the things that make you happy. That's why the first of my 12 Commandments is "Be Gretchen."
This doesn't sound too hard, does it? Yet I'm continually astonished how difficult it is to do. One reason that it's challenging is that we're so judgmental. We judge others, and we judge ourselves.
I was thinking about this last night. At dinner, I was seated next to a very friendly, intelligent woman. In the course of the conversation, she told me two things about herself:
1. She is a nonmaterialistic person who isn't interested in "stuff."
2. She loves beautifully made clothes (result: She loves buying clothes).
I couldn't read her mind, of course, but I think I detected some uneasiness as she talked about these two ideas. She didn't value stuff, and she didn't want to be the kind of person who valued stuff, yet she had this other passion that conflicted with that conception. Can you be non-materialistic yet crave Prada? (I have another friend with a similar issue -- his passion is tech equipment.)
One of my Secrets of Adulthood is you can choose what you do , but you can't choose what you like to do. This woman has three options as she lives her life:
First, she could live up to her non-materialistic ideals and squelch her love of clothes. This seems sad to me. Most of us don't have so many passions that we can drop one without losing an important source of happiness.
Second, she could stop talking about her non-materialistic ideals, because they made her feel hypocritical, and throw herself into clothes-buying and clothes-wearing. That might be fun, day to day, but in her heart she'd probably feel that she was living a life out of synch with her values.
Third, she could strive to accept herself: her non-materialistic values are real, and her love for clothes is real.
To me, the third option is like the best option. Sometimes, we don't like what we like. We wish we were different — more spiritual, more sophisticated, more adventurous, more cultured. But you don't get to pick what you like.
You might argue, "If she truly believed in the value of living a non-materialistic life, she wouldn't be interested in fashion and fancy clothes." That sounds like it would be true, but I don't think it is true. Human nature isn't always consistent.
In Song of Myself , Walt Whitman wrote:
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)
There's a sadness to a happiness project , and that's the sadness that comes from accepting ourselves: the parts we embrace and the parts that we wish were different.
Now, this a difficult issue, because -- what does it mean to live in accordance with your values? It seems that they can't be real values if they don't actually guide your actions, if you don't make choices that reflect your beliefs. True. Maybe this woman would choose not to buy Prada etc., because she wanted to live her beliefs. But perhaps she could find other ways to enjoy that passion, rather than squelching it entirely.
A difficult issue. What do you think?
* Thought-provoking study : "Psychologists have found that how much people smile in old photographs can predict their later success in marriage."
* Interested in starting your own happiness project? If you'd like to take a look at my personal Resolutions Chart, for inspiration, just email me at grubin, then the "at" sign, then gretchenrubin dot com. (Sorry about writing it in that roundabout way; I'm trying to thwart spammers.) Just write "Resolutions Chart" in the subject line.

What do Leicester City, Juventus, Paris Saint Germain, AC Milan and Malaga all have in common?
Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri
The Foxes secured a 1-0 win over Danish side Copenhagen at the King Power on Tuesday night to leave the club on the brink of qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League.
Leicester's fairytale existence under enigmatic Italian boss Claudio Ranieri shows no sign of abating, even if they are struggling to find their form domestically under intense pressure to defend the Premier League title they won against all odds last season.
In Europe things are different and anyone who thinks Ranieri and his charges are done making history can think again.
Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez scores against Copenhagen
That's because the club made yet more of it with the win over Copenhagen as they became only the fifth club to ever win their first three Champions League matches.
They are in prestigious company too with Malaga the only side to achieve the feat in the last 20 years back in the 2012/13 season.
You have to go all the way back to 1995 for the last time before that when Italian giants Juventus - featuring the likes of Didier Deschamps, Gianluca Vialli and Fabrizio Ravanelli - pulled it off while PSG had managed it the season before.
Juve's fellow Serie A juggernauts AC Milan were the first side to ever do it back in the 1992/93 season.
Marco Van Basten helped Milan become the first ever team to achieve the feat
While the record will make every Leicester fan proud, in practical terms it could also have a positive impact on their domestic season.
All but into the last 16, the Foxes - who have been resting key players in the Premier League ahead of Champions League ties - can perhaps now afford to do the opposite in a bid to try and compete for the European places through the league.
