For Keith Baumwald and his co-workers at Shoplet.com, an online office supply retailer, it's all about sanitizing. In their Financial District office, there are dispensers of hand sanitizer in the entry and the sales department, hand wipes on the coffee machines, and personal Purell bottles on every desk. Masks and gloves are available, if it comes to that.
The hygiene blitz has been "positive for morale," says Baumwald, a 32-year-old marketing analyst. The message, he says, is that "everyone's looking out for each other."
As the arrival of fall brings mounting fears of a looming swine flu epidemic — one that could infect as much as half the US population this fall and winter, according to a presidential panel — Baumwald's employer is hardly the only one preoccupied with disinfecting and otherwise battening down the hatches.
If the swine flu gathers force in the coming months, not only will city workplaces be on the front lines of the battle in terms of keeping the H1N1 virus from spreading, but employers could be coping with a decimated work force, between the sick and those afraid of infection.
"It's going to be a big problem," says Dr. Marc Siegel, an associate professor at New York University School of Medicine and an expert on flu transmission. "In a worst-case scenario, this could paralyze the economy."
Which means the concerns of forward-thinking employers go beyond germ transmission and include rethinking or clarifying sick-leave policies and making contingency plans for operating during a pandemic. Steps urged by the federal government last month include cross-training employees to fill in for absent co-workers, putting infrastructure in place that would allow workers to telecommute and making plans for staggered shifts, which would reduce crowding in workplaces and allow people to avoid commuting during peak hours.
Many companies are lagging behind, though, according to a Harvard School of Public Health (HSPS) study released last week. Two-thirds of businesses said they'd face severe operational problems if half their workforce were out with swine flu for two weeks.
"Businesses need to start planning how to adjust their operations to account for greater absenteeism and to slow the spread of H1N1 in the workplace," said Robert Blendon of HSPH.
Among the issues highlighted in the survey are sick-leave policies. Most employers don't offer paid leave for employees who have to care for a child who's sick or whose school or day care is closed; many also require that absent workers provide a doctor's note, which may be hard to come by during an epidemic.
Such policies are going to have to bend, says employment attorney John Robinson, a partner with Fowler White Boggs.
"Though many employers have rigid sick-day rules, they're going to have to have a little more 'give' this season," he says.
They also need to make accommodations for remote workers, such as testing in advance to make sure staffers can access e-mail and computer networks from home, says Linda Conrad, who's overseeing such actions as director of strategic risk management for Zurich Financial Services.
And, of course, employers are taking additional steps to keep workers healthy, going beyond hand sanitizer and flu shots. J.P. Morgan Chase, for example, is providing a nurse-staffed hot line that employees can call with questions about the virus; others are providing staff and their families with Tamiflu.
Sandra Holtzman, owner of EHR Empowerment Consortium, a small startup in Union Square that puts physicians in touch with stimulus package monies, has stepped up cleaning efforts, making sure all surfaces and phones are scrubbed regularly.
It's a smart move, says Dr. Charles Gerba, author of "The Germ Freak's Guide to Outwitting Colds and Flu," who recommends targeting areas including desktops, shared phones and computer equipment, photocopy and fax buttons, light switches, and coffee and food preparation areas.
Holtzman is also encouraging her workers to get enough sleep and not overexert themselves.
"If my partner or I became ill, we'd be in trouble. We wouldn't be able to close deals," says Holtzman. "We can't afford to be sick."
Some workers at companies with no formal swine flu plans are creating their own. Eric Medina, 43, works in sales for a Spanish-language television network with no strategy for an outbreak. But he's not too worried about an extended illness.
"I won't take extreme measures, but I'll take some precautions like handwashing and avoiding sick people," says Medina. "If a problem presents itself, I'll work from home."
Christine Roberts, a temp at a Midtown accounting firm, lives in fear of getting ill. With no health insurance or paid sick time, a few days at home could spell financial disaster for her.
Last year Roberts, who is in her 30s, got a flu and was unable to get out of bed for two days.
"Those two days cost me almost $500 in wages and $50 in taxi fare to the clinic that took my then-health insurance," she says.
But for now, Roberts is washing her hands compulsively and hoping for the best. If she does come down with swine flu, she'll be back at the office.
"I have no choice but to go to work every day, via subway, whether I'm ill or not. I can't afford to go to a doctor or take unpaid time off," she says.
A bill was recently introduced to the City Council that would offer relief to workers like Roberts, by mandating that all employers offer paid sick days (see sidebar). But even employers who already offer sick time may find that convincing ailing workers to stay home is a challenge in a hard-driving city like New York.
Tom, who works for a large Midtown company (and didn't want his real name used), admits that when he got the swine flu from his daughter last spring, he kept mum and went to work anyway. Deadlines were looming, he reasons, and nobody was available to pick up the slack — and the much-feared illness turned out to be pretty mild.
"I technically should have stayed home," he says. "But I was fine, and I don't think anyone got it from me."
The question of whether to check out for several days while not terribly ill is one workers — from Type A sorts who can't stop working to those worried about layoffs — will answer for themselves this fall.
For the record, what they should do, unequivocally, is stay home.
"We have three tips for workers who come down with flu," says Roslyn Stone, chair of the workplace flu prevention group at the Centers for Disease Control. "Don't work sick, don't come back to work before you're better, and handwashing, handwashing, handwashing."
Additionally, Stone advises taking an extra day at home even after starting to feel better.
"With flu, you should never be out for a single day. Stay home until you've been fever-free and with most symptoms gone for 24 hours. Most people will be out sick three to four days."
For all the concern, so far the swine flu has been a relatively mild virus, and fears of it mutating into a more aggressive strain haven't been realized. So for the uninfected, it's important to stay calm, says Siegel of NYU, noting that worrying too much about infection can be more of a problem than the virus itself.
"We're afraid of the unknown and the unseen, and we personalize the risk," he says. "Fear spreads faster than flu."

U.N. Representative Richard Falk is calling for the creation of a world capital, and he wants it to be located in Istanbul, Turkey.
Falk, the Albert G. Milbank Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton and a Visiting Distinguished Professor in Global and International Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, says Istanbul meets his criteria for a world capital because it is a "tourist destination," it is "a secure and acceptable place to hold the most delicate diplomatic discussions," and it has "gained economic and political credibility at a time when" many other states have lost it.
Falk also claims Turkey has a good blend of the religious and the secular, eschewing the pure secularism that runs rampant in many other quarters.
What Falk did not point out is the reason for Turkey's move away from the secular. That move can be credited to the fact that Turkey is 99.8 percent Muslim and moving more and more toward the suppression of non-Muslim voices and non-Muslim viewpoints.
Yes, Turkey is a U.S. ally and a NATO member, but it is also a country that has changed dramatically over the last decade.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is also very critical of Israel when it comes to Israeli and Palestinian relations. And as recently as March of this year, Erdogan urged Israel to "stop the brutal attack against Palestinians and stop the massacre and bloodshed."
With these things understood, it seems the suggestion of a world capital in Istanbul is just one more slap at Israel and the West, even if Falk presents it as otherwise.
If Falk's criteria for a world capital includes being a "tourist destination," why can't Vegas be the world's capital? There's something for everybody there.

Tables are normally treated as floating objects within a browser window. They're aligned in the browser window to match the text flow, usually left-justified (or centered). Unlike inline images, however, text normally floats above and below a table but not beside it. Internet Explorer and Netscape allow you to set the alignment of a table and float text around it with the align attribute. align accepts two values, left and right. These values instruct the browser to align the table with either the left or right margin of the text flow around it. Text then flows along the opposite side of the table, if there is room.
The hspace and vspace attributes add extra space between the table and surrounding content. hspace adds space to the left and right sides of the table; vspace adds space above and below it. The value of each attribute is given as an integer number of pixels.

NaPoWriMo 2012 - Day #30 - over the rooftops
Whoa! the final day. usually, i will write something light or personal for the final NaPo poem. but the flu is still dragging me along and i am happy to produce anything at all...
over the rooftops
over the rooftops from which the blackbirds have passed
the clouds hung like a wet veil as the evening retreated
a flash of lightning lit up a second, white as a shroud
the wind moaned by, trapping dust and leaves in its blast.

Natalie Portman wants Sofia Coppola's calmness
- Bang Showbiz
- 14 March 2015
Natalie Portman wants to direct in the way calm, controlled Sofia Coppola does
Natalie Portman "channels Sofia Coppola" when directing.
The 'Black Swan' actress has taken the helm on 'A Tale of Love and Darkness' and admits she finds it quite stressful, so tries to conduct herself in the same way as the 'Virgin Suicides' director, who she has previously worked with on Miss Dior campaigns.
She said: "Sofia is so talented and so calm and she really has a vision.
"I thought about her a lot when I was directing because she is just unflappable, so cool in any situation.
"So whenever I would feel myself getting stressed, I'd try and channel Sofia."
Natalie is relishing life behind the camera because it gives her so much more control.
She said: "It's a lot of responsibility, but a wonderful opportunity to own your work at the end.
"When you make a film as an actor, whether it turns out good or bad, I always have to either credit or blame the director. It's a director's medium."
The 33-year-old beauty believes there needs to be more opportunities for female directors in film.
She told Red magazine: "I love male stories, they help me see the world in different ways.
"But we need more opportunities for women. I don't think it's that fewer women want to direct, because in film school there are equal numbers of men and women.
"I think there are institutional biases against women that don't allow them to have as many opportunities, or as comfortable with them being in leadership roles."

Mariah Carey on HSN: 5 Diva Lessons Learned (Video)
Mariah Carey has been getting a bad rap over her recent appearance on HSN in which she peddled everything from her jewelry to bags and fragrances. We think she was doing her. And by "her" we mean she's too rich to care what we think, so she why not let it all hang out? We actually think that couple of hours she spent on TV gave us some valuable lessons.
Here's five things we learned from Mariah on HSN.
1. Being a fabulous mom is tough. Having babies and raising them can be difficult and you should be able to express just how much it sucks openly. From her 47 weeks of pregnancy (isn't that more than 11 months?) to the bloated feet and inability to have long fingernails, Mariah isn't about sugarcoating the experience. And we know that aspiring divas can now totally avoid motherhood, because Mariah scared the bejesus out of them.
2. People should be told when they're wrong. If Mariah didn't give that corny name to a piece of jewelry, she will tell you. So what if some marketing person is feeling like they've just been thrown under the bus? The businesswoman in her isn't about to let you think she had anything to do with it. If a model isn't wearing a bag correctly, she should be told. After all, how else does one make the world bend to your desires if you don't tell them how?
3. Express your love as much as you can. There's so much hate in this world that it's refreshing to know that Mariah has no problem expressing her love – more than 70 times during the HSN appearance alone. Can we ever really express our love too much?
4. Who needs math? We're still wondering about that 47 weeks of pregnancy, but Mariah couldn't be bothered to remember numbers – unless it's her bank balance. And as for how much an item costs, what's the HSN host being paid for? Duh. Mariah proves that you don't need advanced math skills to get by.
5. Know your best angles. Even rich and fabulous stars have body issues. And it's nice to see that Mariah not only acknowledges hers, but also makes sure the cameras are not shooting them. After all, fabulosity doesn't just happen. It must be carefully micro-managed.

John Cusack Joins His Own CBS Wall Street Pilot
As sort of an anti-McConaughey.
CBS's unnamed Wall Street drama may not have the soundtrack, sex workers, and Quaaludes of The Wolf of Wall Street, but might the network interest you in some John Cusack and regret? The Drive Hard actor has joined the show's pilot, based on a story he co-wrote, as Ted, "a cynical former Wall Street trader who left the business." Instead of leading you in a chest-thumping hype anthem, we imagine Ted would just pull you aside and tell you how much of an ass you're making of yourself right now.

Narco Terror Review (PS3)
Do you enjoy non-stop action? Do you enjoy blowing s*** up? If so, Narco Terror is for you! This game is all about blowing s*** up. You're rewarded points towards the games leaderboards for blowing everything up from exploding barrels to parked cars, even to boxes full of cocaine, as you slaughter the cartel. That's right folks, this game is not for children. There are drugs and profanity at every turn. The only thing missing in this game is more enemies! My favorite thing about the game is that you have to keep moving, providing a non-stop action feel. Don't stand still or you'll be dead!
Ground combat is the normal mode for this game, providing a mix of melee and gunplay. Although, after the first stage using melee is not very effective as there are fewer enemies that come at you with bats, and more that come at you with machine guns. You will still encounter bad guys that charge at you on the ground but there's not much reason to melee them other than if you're just in the mood.
Throughout each level, enemies will drop random power-ups for you, providing special limited elemental ammo types, or health. The special ammo will work with any of your guns and the amount you currently have is easily identifiable on the HUD. There is a fire element that lights your enemies on fire and does damage over time. You also get an armor-piercing ammo, stun ammo, and a homing ammo which are far more straight forward than lighting your enemies ablaze. I just used all of my special ammo until I ran out because I didn't care about conserving it. I'd love it if they had made the special ammo types more available though, they add a lot of fun to the mayhem but don't drop as often as I'd like. The important thing to know is that you can kill enemies just fine without using special ammo, it's really just there for some extra flair and fun.
You will also gain access to a special weapon once a level. There's a flame-thrower, a rocket launcher, and a laser beam of super-wholly-crap-awesomeness. Of the 3 special weapons available, the laser beam was my absolute favorite! That thing doesn't seem to have any kind of range limitation. If you can see it on your screen, you can point your laser and blow that s*** up. It destroys enemies extremely quickly and is awesome to see in action.
If that's not enough for you, there are some points in the game where you take control of a turret offering up an extra arcadey feel that really pushes the over-the-top action with a ton of enemies thrown at you. The game changes pace a bit as it knows you have a turret. Enemies would launch rockets and throw grenades at me while I tore up the screen with bullets flying everywhere. It's super action packed! I didn't feel like there was too much or too little of the turret scenes.
During the game you'll also get to hop into a plane and blow away jets and helicopters, while launching missiles into boats or enemy huts (I hope they're enemy huts anyways) down below. The flying levels are really cool, they just need more enemy opposition to make them more challenging. I'd love to see a patch from Deep Silver that adds more enemies to the plane levels, they could seriously use them. Fortunately when you gain access to a boat, those levels have plenty of enemies. My first time jumping into a boat I was worried that it would be as boring as flying a plane. My worries were quickly eased as enemies swarmed upon me. One thing I didn't like too much was the gun firing mechanic for both the plane and the boat. When you fire, you shoot out 3 bullets at a time, with around a second of delay between the next time you fire. I suppose it's meant to make it feel more tactical, but I have no idea why they would need that in this game. You do get power-ups throughout the level that increase the amount of bullets you fire and their fire rate though which helps, but firing a few bullets at a time still feels a little awkward and takes away from the seamless action. Overall, the plane and boat levels look and feel great, the downside is there aren't more of them.
For a top down game the graphics are not the not the best I've seen, I'm still more impressed by Renegade Ops' graphics, but Narco Terror's are pretty good. While most of the game is viewed from the top down angle, there are some really cool 3D effects offering you different views while traveling up stairs or walking down a tunnel. The 3D transitions don't happen too often, but they add a really nice flair when they do. The music and sound effects aren't special and they don't stand out, but they did keep me in the killing mood.
Did I forget to mention there's co-op? It doesn't just have co-op, it has drop-in/drop-out online co-op! I didn't encounter much of it, but when I did it was fun of course. Surprisingly there are some pretty bad players out there. This is a game where you need to keep moving and one player kept joining my game and we would keep dying because he would not move! I did enjoy around an hour of game time with a decent player though, and it was totally cool. I mostly enjoyed the game solo because not a lot of players joined my games.
So, if you're worried about getting your moneys worth, I don't think that would be an issue. The game is only $10, or $15 if you wanna buy the duel-pack and invite a friend along. It's a ton of fun with plenty of replayability via leaderboards and weapons earned through your first playthrough. What's the story like? Heck, I forgot there was one. I believe it involved blowing s*** up.

In nine years of existence, the Minnesota Wild has had just 10 goaltenders start a game. That includes four that played a game last year. Goaltending has always been a strength for the young franchise, because it always featured an experienced and talented tandem.
Manny Fernandez and Dwayne Roloson. Fernandez and Niklas Backstrom. Backstrom and Josh Harding.
The Wild's goaltending tandem looks formidable again. The Wild lost Harding to a devastating knee injury early in the preseason, but picked up the owner of a Hart and Vezina trophy, and the winner of 30 games in 47 appearances last year with Washington.
Jose Theodore agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Wild today, and will join the Houston Aeros training camp until the Wild returns from Finland. Anton Khudobin will serve as Nik Backstrom's backup while the team is in Europe.
"Jose's a veteran who's won 245 games in the NHL," said General Manager Chuck Fletcher in a hotel lobby in Helsinki. "We're fortunate he was still available. He makes us a deeper team and we have a terrific one-two punch again."
Theodore ranks sixth among active goalies in games played (518) and wins. His best year came in 2002 as a member of the Montreal Canadiens, when he went 30-24-10 with a .931 save percentage and a 2.11 goals against average, earning him the Hart and the Vezina.
Wild fans are no stranger to Theodore, who posted a 2.81 goals against average and a .911 save percentage last year. In 2008, he was brilliant in leading the Colorado Avalanche to a first round upset of Minnesota, which had won its first-ever Northwest Division title.

by Anne Marie Mohan, Senior Editor, Packaging World
Multilayer, mixed-material flexible film packaging is a sustainability conundrum. Lighter in weight, using less material, and resulting in fewer greenhouse gas emissions than alternative packaging formats such as glass, aluminum, and rigid plastic, flexibles seem like the most eco-friendly packaging choice. But, unlike glass, aluminum, and rigid plastic, mixed-material flexible film* cannot be recovered at end of life.
For some sustainability diehards, the fact that the only place for multilayer flexibles at the end of their use is the landfill is a deal-breaker—despite all of their sustainability advantages. For the those companies that supply and use this material, however, understanding the challenges associated with flexible film recovery and moving toward feasible solutions have become a priority, especially as the use of flexible packaging grows.
According to a 2015 report from PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, "The unique benefits of flexible packaging have made it the second largest packaging segment in the U.S. [representing 19% of the total $164 billion packaging market]. The format has grown considerably in popularity over the last decade and has continued to take market share in the packaging industry." It adds that while this growth may be starting to plateau, the market is expected to continue to expand at a healthy rate into the future. (Source: PMMI 2015 Flexible Packaging Market Assessment Report.)
Consulting firm Freedonia estimates in its 2015 study, "Converted Flexible Packaging," that demand for mixed-material film packaging will rise 3.3% annually through 2019, to $20.7 billion, due to the cost and performance advantages of lightweight bags and pouches. In addition, it says that "converted flexible packaging's source reduction, space savings, and lower production and transportation costs…will drive further conversions from rigid to flexible formats."
Currently there are no systems in the U.S. to collect and recover multilayer flexible films. To put such systems in place will involve solving technical and commercial challenges at every stage of the process—collection, sorting, and end markets—with the development of each depending on the success of the others.
While it is true flexible films represent a large chunk of the packaging materials market, their percentage of landfill waste does not: multi-material laminates accounted for just 1.6% of the total municipal waste stream in 2012, according to the Flexible Packaging Assn. Even though this number has increased since then and will continue to grow as the market expands, there are other pressing reasons why the packaging industry is taking on the challenge of flexible film recovery.
Alan Blake, Executive Director of PAC Next, a part of Canadian association PAC, Packaging Consortium, that was founded to create a vision of "A World Without Packaging Waste," says the group initially became interested in finding ways to recover flexible films due to Canada's Extended Producer Responsibility laws. Under EPR requirements, all stakeholders pay a fee based on the quantity of packaging materials they put into the market. PAC NEXT's Multi-Layer Laminated Films & Bags project is focused on initiating and completing a pilot to recycle post-consumer recycled multilayer laminated film from a Municipal Recycling Facility (MRF).
"Given EPR, there's this pressure to see what can be done to avoid materials going to landfill and what can be done to find solutions," Blake says. "People become a bit emotional when they start seeing increasing levels of materials going into the waste stream that are non-recyclable, such as multilayer, mixed-plastic laminates."
Jeff Wooster, Global Sustainability Director of Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics, which is involved in many initiatives around flexible film recovery, explains the growth in interest in flexible film recovery this way: "The development of the recycling infrastructure for any material follows the introduction of that material and its growth to a scale where it makes sense to invest in a recycling infrastructure."
For example, he says, when aluminum cans and PET bottles were first introduced, they were not recycled. But as the markets for these materials grew, recycling followed. "With flexible packaging, because it's more difficult to mechanically recycle and because the weight of each individual package is much lower than it is for other materials, there are some additional challenges that other materials don't have to the same extent."
Consumer pressure is definitely also a driver, he adds: "Consumers don't like to see packaging going into the landfill, and neither do we."
One of the projects Dow is involved with is Materials Recovery for the Future, an initiative of the Research Foundation for Health and Environmental Effects, established by the American Chemistry Council. The project has brought together brand owners, manufacturers, and packaging industry organizations interested in creating recovery solutions for flexible packaging. Its first goal is to study the movement of films and flexible plastic packaging at U.S. MRFs.
"Our motivation for this is to close the resource loop and make sure that our materials continue to deliver value for as long as they can," Wooster says. "We know it's of great interest to companies, NGOs, and well-informed consumers to try to recover the value of their materials instead of putting them into a landfill."

Topic: Torgo
Posted: November 03 2011 at 17:30
TORGO is a US act consisting of Farris Antoon (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Martin Antoon (guitars, soundscapes, vocals, keyboards), Ryan Talbot (bass, vocals, keyboards), Casey Wilkes (saxophone, clarinet, vocals) and Ian Paine-Jesam (percussion). All of the classically trained musicians, and aiming to give their fans a true to life multimedia experience when performing live. Their philosophy as far as performing goes: That the listener should feel like they are watching an opera, listening to a film score, and attending a rock concert all at once.
I got in touch with the band and Farris Antoon answered my questions.
When and by whom was your band born ? Did any of you, past and present members, play in any other bands before joining up in your band ? Why did you choose that name and which bands were you influenced by ?
The band's sound is rather difficult to define, and I think it is in large part that way by design. The focus is always to make music that is "visual," in that it works in service of the concept to take the listener on a journey. We try to create music that is akin to experiencing a film, musical, and opera all at once, all presented in the form of a progressive rock concept album. Every member of the band listens to countless different types of music, and we never saw any reason why we couldn't utilize all of those influences in the context of one band. Sometimes that means even within one song there will be a diverse combination of styles, but we always aim to make sure it remains cohesive. I think the best comparison that I've heard about the band was "if Tool and Queen had a car crash, Torgo would be the soundtrack."
What is your plans for the rest of the year and next year ?
Now that we've got our first album out, we plan on spending the next few months playing live regularly while continuing to expand the film and literature components online. We've already got a few hours' worth of new material composed, so we expect to begin rehearsing it soon to incorporate into the live show.
To wrap up this interview, is there anything you want to add to this interview ?
Of course we'd like to thank you for taking the time to talk to us, and we encourage anybody who is interested in what we have going on to download a copy of the album. You can pay whatever you want for it on torgo.bandcamp.com, and we hope that people find something unique and worthwhile in what we have to offer.
Thank you to Farris Antoon for this interview

you are so right there. In fact, I have visited so many European doiesnatitns that are extremely popular, yet, have had nothing but authentic experiences.The first one that comes to mind is when I went to Barcelona. I stayed with a couchsurfer there and just saw a few of Gaudi's buildings, in addition to La Rambla, during my whole stay! Sometimes I wish I would have seen more tourist sites, but then I remember how we got to go to a musical Catalan poetry reading + watch event at a local bar, surrounded by people speaking a mix of Spanish and Catalan. It's so nice to remember this so yes, my advice to everyone is to hang out with the couchsurfers in the area they are visiting! Even if you are staying in a B&B just because you don't feel comfortable staying in the couch of a stranger, meeting them for coffee, a meal or drink. You'll love the authentic experience!- Maria Alexandra

Seifert & Moline Helm Marvel's "Disney Kingdoms: Seekers of the Weird"
Although most of the Marvel.com announcement slate for New York Comic Con 2013 consists of super heroes, InsideTheMagic.net has a first look at "Disney Kingdoms: Seekers of the Weird," the first in a series of comics based on the worlds, attractions and characters of Walt Disney theme parks. Written by Brandon Seifert with art by Karl Moline, "Seekers of the Weird" sets its sights on the never-built Museum of the Weird attraction designed in 1965. According to InsideTheMagic.net, the attraction was meant to be a lead-in to The Haunted Mansion which was home to a collection of mystical curiosities from across the world. The comic focuses on Maxwell and Melody as they race through the museum after their parents are kidnapped attempting to save the world from an evil secret society.
"Disney Kingdoms is the ultimate team-up for fans of Disney and Marvel," Editor Bill Rosemann told InsideTheMagic.net. "Working hand-in-hand with the world-famous Walt Disney Imagineers, Marvel's best and brightest creators will unleash entire worlds inspired by and built around the attractions and characters that you've always known-but will experience for the very first time."
The standard cover for "Seekers of the Weird" #1 features art by Mike del Mundo and Disney Imagineer Brian Crosby will provide a variant cover. More details about the series will be revealed during the Cup O' Joe panel at NYCC 2013.

Month: March 2014
For friends and friends of Olumide Ayinde HYDE
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.- Psalm 116:15
On wednesday, 26 March, 2013, at about 10pm, I turned on my phone. As it is always, I went straight for BBM updates. The Personal messages and display pictures of my RUN friends did not correlate. It still does not.
The picture of someone I was familiar with from afar was on display. But the PM's, for all I cared was for someone else. I thought, maybe my friends were yet to upload the pictures. Though the thought of having lost a friend saddened me.
My memory came into play. Our interspersed conversations became palpable. I went back to the PM's hoping my friends had uploaded the real pictures. I enlarged DP's. Still same. I doubted the logicality to what was now real. It is not like I have the power to dictate what is and what is not; but the realization that this particular "friend" Olu was gone was disheartening. I thought life cruel.
I fairly knew him, but I and Olumide had mutual friends. So, from my conversations with him and friends I can say Hyde had a calm and peaceable mien. I know he spoke softly. He had a light around him that reflected in his friendships. Hyde was a charismatic person.
I remember my first few interactions with him. We shook hands and exchanged pleasantries. One would think "he was being proud". I would later learn that he was just the kind of person who was calm in front of a storm. He exuded maturity that I sought.
Memories of Olumide with mutual friends, whether it was in the hostel room, or in front of the lab, coming from the cafeteria or at chapel will forever remain with me.
Our mutual friend, Toyin, brought me my last moments with him. Her pictures of them both and in some cases with other friends of ours while on orientation camp in Oyo State served as my last moments. Even on that camp via those pictures Hyde's loving and cool self was not misplaced.
Our last real contact was during our convocation. The conviviality that came with staying at the International Guest House on camp, and other convocation moments are relived as I write this.
Nothing else shows the kind of person Hyde was than how he exited this chaotic world.
Tomiwa Koleade's PM kept ringing in my head, "what could have happened in that sleep?". We would never know what happened in that sleep. Hyde and God his maker alone understand and know the last few moments of his existence.
My friends, I started out to write a tribute to Olumide but moments have turned. They always turn. My personal reflections have crept in. So as we mourn and miss our dearly beloved, let us think on these things:
For those who saw him the weekend before, did it seem like Hyde deserved death the last time you were with him? And those who spoke to him the day or night before and had a chat with him, did it cross your mind (for one second) it would be the last time?
For the moments we shared with friends, I can say Hyde lived a calm life.
Friends, I am learning that for every breath I take, I am one day closer to my death. That every moment spent is my last opportunity to (show) love and be good.
We are only here but for a short while. And the length of that time is not known to us. I implore that we use the energy of our youth to do good and be right in the Lord.
As Dami Oluyele's dad, rightly says
"Sorry folks, I feel you guys; But he's finished his course! He's handed over to you. How many souls are you going to impact positively when you are gone? After-life is real… You can have a designer after life…which ever way you choose while you are on this side of life! Take courage the holy spirit will comfort you."
It is only right that we mourn Hyde for he will sorely be missed. Memories are all we have left of him. Sweet memories.
Friends, in the words of Apostle Paul, I say, "not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead… "(Phil 3:12-13)
To the family, my special thoughts and heart felt prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.
To friends and friends', I am sending you a hug and love through this note. I wish you peace and healing.
May the Lord our God keep us all. Amen.
Olumide Ayinde HYDE, sun re o.
