15 Possible Explanations for Why You're Not Likely to Find Folks Becoming Superheroes Here in the Real World
1. The science, she just ain't there — at least, not yet.
For argument's sake, we'll assume the lack of evidence proving the existence of aliens, mutants and supernatural beings means they aren't out there, and therefore the possibility of any superhero with powers deriving from any of these sources is immediately out of the question (sayonara, Superman, Wolverine, Dr. Strange, etc.). You still have to wonder, though, where all the science-based heroes are. Where are the Iron Men or the Steels of the world, those heroes whose powers and abilities come from their super-scientific gadgets and such? The simplest answer is science hasn't caught up with our imaginations — not yet, at least. Iron Man looks great in his high-tech suit, but in the real world engineers haven't figured out the numerous engineering feats it would take to create a suit with that kind of firepower, let alone how to make it fly without gallons of jet fuel strapped to his thighs or how to keep the armor and weaponry light enough to get the pilot off the ground.
2. In real life, bones get broken when people go looking for trouble.
In Kick-Ass, a Marvel/Icon series by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr. (and a 2010 feature film), an average teenager decides to put on a mask and fight crime… but his first attempt at it results in a savage beating courtesy of a gang of thugs (and just for good measure he gets hit by a car while reeling from the attack). This leads to weeks of intense physical therapy, which is what tends to happen when a human body experiences massive amounts of pain. (He keeps his secret identity by ditching the costume and blaming his injuries on a mugger.) Comic-book superheroes will occasionally get hurt in the line of duty, but more often than not it's only painful enough to keep them sidelined until the next issue. In real life, people who get hurt tend to stay hurt for a long time.
3. It takes many years to master the kinds of skills a superhero would need, and who's got that kind of time?
OK, so would-be superheroes risk their health if they go out on patrol untrained and unprepared for danger. The obvious solution is to get the kind of martial-arts training you would need to prevent those injuries from happening in the first place. And to be a really effective superhero, you're going to need — at the very least — training in weaponry, surveillance, interrogation techniques, etc. E. Paul Zehr's Becoming Batman is a fun book that discusses, among other things, just how much time it would take for a Batman-like superhero to prepare himself for his crimefighting career. Without spoiling the ending for anyone, let's just say an aspiring hero can count on spending a lot more time training for a superhero career than actually enjoying their superhero career.
4. Putting on a mask and punching people? Yeah, it's still illegal.
And speaking of Batman… a character like him is only able to do his work with the tacit support of the local police department (specifically, a sympathetic Commissioner who feels Batman has earned his trust). If someone in real life chose to become a superhero and went out on patrol in search of trouble without the support of local law enforcement, then we have what the law would call a vigilante, and there are laws against that kind of behavior for many very good reasons…
5. Think facing a super-villain is bad news? Wait until you meet his lawyer.
…not least of which is to protect would-be heroes from the legal trouble they can get into by taking the law into their own hands. Remember Pixar's The Incredibles? The superheroes in that film had to go into a government protection program after Mr. Incredible saved a suicidal man who didn't want to be saved — and later sued Mr. Incredible for the injuries he sustained during his rescue. That one lawsuit led to a lot more filed by citizens who rightly asked, "Who asked these 'heroes' to charge in and save the day, anyway?" In a society like ours, where people can (and will) sue over just about anything, you can imagine the legal bills a real-life superhero would rack up from criminals screaming brutality, insurance companies looking to recoup their losses, and innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.
6. Let's be honest: why should anyone take you seriously if you went out in a mask and cape?
A man in a mask stands on a rooftop, his cape billowing in the breeze while the city he protects looms in the background. In the comics, it's a heroic pose. In real life, not so much. Comic-book superheroes (particularly those residing in the Marvel or DC universes) are able to function in part because comic books didn't exist in "their" universes before they came along (early Fantastic Four stories made it clear the team licensed their likenesses to a fictional comic company within their universe — a neat bit of meta humor that Marvel occasionally milked). But the superhero archetype has been a part of our pop culture for so long that — well, try to imagine someone in real life wearing a superhero costume while walking down your street and not looking like a lost attendee from a comic-book convention.
7. Exactly where does one go to find the crime that needs fighting?
In the comics, a superhero's story invariably opens with the hero swinging/flying/driving by and happening across a crime already in progress — a mugging, a late-night warehouse theft, you name it. A quick whiff/bam/pow later and the miscreants are gift-wrapped for the police while the hero continues on his merry way. In real life, most serious crimes happen either behind closed doors or take just a few short moments to happen, so a real-life hero would either have to be very lucky to be in the right place to stop the crime from happening… or he would need access to information about where the next "big score" will happen. Telepathy and clairvoyance being in short supply in the real world, most would-be superheroes without an extensive network of reliable snitches would likely end up sitting on a lonely rooftop waiting for something to happen.
8. Forget finding enough crime to fight. How do you plan to get there?
Let's assume that, given biological limitations and the current state of aeronautics, you don't have the ability to fly or access to a nifty pair of jet-boots. Question: How do you plan to get around town while in your superhero identity? Unless you live in a city where all the crime conveniently happens within a three-block radius, you are going to need some kind of transportation (and preferably not public transit) to get around. So, what kind of wheels will you get? Who will repair it? Who will pay for fixing it? How do you plan to deal with the likelihood of criminals spotting your vehicle? How do you get around traffic and other city obstacles? Where do you park the car while you're off climbing over rooftops, and how do you make sure it's handy when you need to give chase to the criminals in your sights? Logistics: they'll get you every time.
9. "Where does he get those wonderful toys?"
That's a great line by the Joker from the first Batman movie, and the answer is simple: he pays for them, Jack. Being a superhero is not easy on the budget, what with the weapons and high-tech gear and such, which is why a lot of heroes in Comic-Book Land tend to be industrialists and millionaire playboys — the kind of people with the means to buy their superhero accessories in bulk and hide their extra-legal purchases from nosy accounting types. Face it, friend — unless you have a trust fund or another source of independent wealth, those weapons you keep slinging around town are going to end up costing you, and it's only going to be a matter of time before someone (a spouse, a sharp-eyed sales clerk, a nosy tax collector) is going to cotton on to your extra-curricular adventures.
10. Last time I checked, there were still only 24 hours in a day.
Another advantage that rich people have in the superhero racket is a certain amount of flexibility in their schedules. If Bruce Wayne takes off work to go battle a super-villain, no one is likely to bat an eye — hey, he's the boss and it's not like anyone around the office is supposed to know where he is 24/7 anyway. But those of us who need our jobs to support habits like eating and not shivering in the cold… well, it can be a little hard to work a side career as a vigilante into the calendar, especially when a family is involved.
11. There ain't nothing secret about anyone's identity in the Internet Age.
One of the sadder subplots in Alan Moore's Watchmen (which is, among other things, a look at how superheroes would be received in the "real" world) involves a Golden Age super-heroine whose career and life are cut short by rumors about her sexual orientation. That was then. Fast forward to today, a world where the transgressions of minor reality TV stars regularly show up on tabloid TV shows and websites like The Smoking Gun. Given the number of people out there walking around with cellphone cameras and Twitter accounts, how long can any masked hero reasonably expect to hold on to their secret or avoid becoming tabloid fodder? Even if you never get caught on tape, even if hawk-eyed hero-'shippers don't share info with each other about your every move, sooner or later someone is going to sell you out for a chance at some quick cash or 15 minutes of fame.
12. The costumes that come with the gig aren't exactly user-friendly.
And speaking of Watchmen… another tragic subplot from that story involves a masked hero who dies in a hail of bullets after his cape gets snagged in a revolving door. If a costume is a must-have for becoming a superhero, then a big reason we don't see more heroes running around is that capes can get in the way, masks can slip and obscure your vision, utility belts can weigh you down, and weapons can be hard to conceal when it's time to slip back into civilian duds. God forgive me for even remembering this, but there was a great scene in Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham (a lame anthropomorphic parody title from the '80s) where "Captain Ameri-cat" hides his shield by wearing it strapped to his back underneath his business suit… and someone hurts their hand giving him a pat on the back, but still doesn't notice the big circular disk under his suit jacket.
13. You need supervillains to appear, well, superheroic.
This one's debatable, but there's here is where my half-baked Superhero Theory of Proportionate Response comes into play. Namely, a big reason we don't see larger-than-life superheroes in real life is because there aren't any larger-than-life threats for them to go up against. And when a lack of malevolent gods, evil super-scientists, or homicidal tycoons means your arch-nemeses are an assortment of purse-snatchers and bank robbers — most of whom are more misguided or desperate than truly evil — eventually you're just going to come off looking like a dick in a mask who just likes punching people.
14. Your message of truth and justice is going to get hijacked by someone with their own agenda.
Imagine, if you will, a real-life superhero — maybe a Daredevil type who uses his martial arts and acrobatic skills to clean up a troubled neighborhood — suddenly appears on the streets of New York City. How long do you think it will talk for TV pundits and radio hosts to stake their claim and explain to their audiences about what the hero's appearance symbolizes? Some will say the hero's actions are a natural response to crime running out of control ("and it's all the President's fault!"); others will say he's the logical response to a corrupt system in which the rich look after themselves and average people have no one else to look after them ("and it's all the President's fault!"). Meanwhile, the hero's actual motives and goals are lost in the blogosphere's search for "meaning" in his actions. You'll still have a job, but you'll have a major PR issue on your hands if the wrong people end up adopting you as one of their own.
15. When all else is said, there are far more productive ways to make a difference in the world than by wearing a mask and punching things.
A rich child who loses his parents at an early age has a few choices ahead of him. He can choose to train his body and mind to perfection and devote vast amounts of money to attack crime one criminal at a time. Or he can channel that same energy and resources into things that attack the root causes of crime: stay-in-school programs, drug rehab centres, urban redevelopment projects, job-creation plans, anti-poverty legislation — the list goes on. The second option may not be as cathartic as wearing tights and cracking skulls, but it has a better chance of achieving success in the long run because it's the option that recognizes we're all in this together. And while that sentiment may go against the peculiarly American brand of individualist, kick-ass philosophy that many superheroes espouse, this thing we all share is called "real life" for a reason — it's real, and we all have to live in it together.

INDIANA JONES 5 Will Be Pushed Back Over Script Issues - Report
Lucasfilm's untitled Indiana Jones 5 won't be released in theaters on July 10, 2020 as the Disney-owned company had previously announced, according to Variety. Although director Stecen Spielberg himself announced filming would begin in April 2019, Variety cites unnamed sources which say that filming will be "pushed back by months, if not a year."
The Hollywood trade reports that a key issue is that the shooting script has not been finalized, with Jonathan Kasdan reportedly pencilled in - but not confirmed yet - to write a new draft of a previous script by David Koepp.
Disney has not "officially" pulled Indiana Jones 5 off its July 10, 2020 release according to Variety, however.
If confirmed, this would be the second delay of an Indiana Jones film under the Disney era; the film was originally announced to be released July 19, 2019, but in 2017 the film was shifted back to the current July 10, 2020 release.

Az apostol szolgálata – Ron McKenzie
"The word 'apostle' means one who is sent. It is applied to a messenger who is sent on a mission. In the New Testament, an apostle is a person who is sent out to establish a new church. When a church reaches an optimum size some of the elders will be sent out to start a new church. The pastor/teacher sent out is called an apostle.
This is what happened in the church in Antioch (Acts 3:1-3). In that church there were prophets and teachers. While they were at prayer, the Holy Spirit told them to set aside Paul and Barnabas to be apostles. Paul and Barnabas then went through Asia Minor establishing new churches. This is the ministry of the apostle. Once they had been sent out Luke referred to Paul and Barnabas as apostles (Acts 14:14). In this diagram, the pastor (P), who is sent out becomes an apostle (A). see
The apostle may not necessarily go very far. Often they will go to a place where there are already some converts (Acts 16:11-15). They will go where the Spirit is moving. Hearing God's voice will be important in knowing where to go."

So much so that for Christmas I asked for, and received, a running watch. It's my pride and joy and a useful piece of kit to boot. And, over the past month or so my running has started to improve. My new running watch has shown me where I've been going wrong.
I think that's fantastic, but what about other areas of my life that could do with some improvement? Garmin should totally make a version for mums, to help us manage and improve our days. It would be a sure fire hit. I mean, everybody knows how us mums are only happy when we're being told exactly how to better ourselves, or when we have a set of statistics to measure our own performance by...
So I give you, the Mummy Garmin.
It has the following features:
1. Timing
How quickly can you do the school run, the vacuuming, a whole basket full of ironing? The Mummy Garmin not only records your time but alerts you when you have a new personal best, encouraging you to aim high at all times. Reach for the stars people - or at least reach for another pair of school trousers to iron more quickly. Download the app and then add your results to our leader boards, compete with your friends and win
|Work it, baby! This is a bedroom vacuuming PB!
2. Pace/Splits
While runners may be interested in which mile or kilometre was their best, or which one is always the slowest to help improve their overall performance, the Mummy Garmin will tell you which portion of you day you are best at and which needs more work. Get your split times for Breakfast, getting dressed, the school run, the housework, doing the weekly shop and, the toughest of them all, the bath time/bedtime routine (which let's face it is like running a marathon most nights).
3. Heart Rate Monitor
Add the optional heart rate monitor so that the Mummy Garmin can keep track of your heart rate during your daily tasks. Toddler having a meltdown? School gate parking getting on your nerves? Teenager refusing to do their homework (again)? Once your heart rate exceeds the maximum acceptable level, the Mummy Garmin will alert you so that you can calm yourself down
|I am dangerously close to my maximum heart rate, honest...
4. Calorie Tracking
Ever wondered how many calories you burn up during the usual
|A handful of hair clips from down the back of the sofa = all this chocolate? Ace!
5. Notifications
Fed up of forgetting things on the school run? Always missing important messages? The Mummy Garmin has a helpful email, text and call notifications feature. About to leave for school again without the appropriate dressing up costume... Ding! The Mummy Garmin alerts you with a direct message to it's screen. After-school clubs cancelled...Ding! The Mummy Garmin sends the text straight to your wrist. Includes optional Parentmail screening, helping you weed out the communications that you deem irrelevant, such as Boxercise classes in the school hall, anything PTA related, and texts from teenagers complaining that they've forgotten to bring their PE Kit/Calculator to school (want me to bail you out again? Tough luck).
|Ahh, thanks Mummy Garmin, you've made me look less
As you can see the Mummy Garmin is a tool to help you parent faster, better and more efficiently while keeping your well-being in mind, then presenting it in a handy graph for you to obsess over for few hours until bedtime, when you think "Holy Crap! I've got to do this all over again tomorrow! What is the point of all these numbers?" Kind of like a regular fitness tracker really.
Oh and sleep tracking? Don't make me laugh. We all know that there'd be no point in that. #whatis8hoursunbrokensleepexactly

YEREVAN, April 21. /TASS/. The Armenian police hauled off 62 opposition activists trying to cripple traffic on the streets of Yerevan on Saturday, the law enforcement agency's spokesman Ashot Agaronyan told TASS.
"As of 13:30 (12:30 Moscow time), 62 suspected law violators have been sent to police precincts," he said.
Starting on April 13, Armenia's radical opposition launched mass protests against the nomination of Armenian ex-president Serzh Sargsyan for the position of prime minister. Despite the demonstrations, the Armenian Parliament elected Sargsyan as prime minister on April 17.

"No … I don't believe it."

"Her husband and friends rented a what??"
"A limo??"
"and drove her around the Island?"
"We must be putting too much in the collection plate."
"A party you say? How many guests?"
" 70! (ammendment – 94!!) Land sakes alive – where did they fit them all?"
"And her husband even invited that lovely harpist to come and play for the evening!"
"I heard her sister and brother-in-law flew in from Toronto."
"And two of her boys flew up from New York!"
"Oh my goodness…you wouldn't believe the food!"
" Bacon-wrapped scallops, bruschetta, canapes, shrimp, veggies, fruit, chips and hot shrimp dip – and more sweets than you could name."
"Don't forget the huge birthday cake!"
"Didn't her sons and daughter sound lovely singing around the piano?"
"And what a sweet speech made by her daughter!"
"I hope that Rinda Dean took some pictures."
"Oh she did – she was snapping left, right, and center!"
"Maybe we'll get to see them on her blog sometime."
"Oh I'm sure we will!"
"Psst … did you know that her birthday is really NOT on March 30th?"
"Do you mean it wasn't even her birthday???"
"No- she's not 50 until March 31st!"
"Tsk tsk …What are they going to do for her real birthday??"

Speaker Bio
Ian Sindermann is an associate security analyst at Independent Security Evaluators (ISE), where he conducts rigorous security assessments of various computer hardware and software products. With a primarily self-taught education and prior experience as a wannabe sysadmin, his background lies in web application security, IoT devices, and *NIX systems. Insatiable curiosity has led to a variety of other interests including hardware hacking, mainframes, legacy systems, and whatever tech obscurities he can get his hands on.
Often times it only takes a small oversight to cause a vulnerability, even when it comes to severe vulnerabilities. The Buffalo TeraStation NAS demonstrates this idea beautifully in that it has a variety of features that do just a tad more than they should. Using these oversights as examples, I'll provide an overview of the thought processes, mindset, and skills used to turn happy little oversights into happy little shells. There will be an abundance of facepalms and IoT war stories, and if that wasn't enough, there's a good chance these vulns will still be unpatched.

the 19th shoreham airshow 2008 ...
No shortage of rain was there this month, no shortage of cloud was there this week, no doubt the weather is going to be abyssmal for the airshow on Saturday? Well as you can see the weather turned out just perfect, thee of little faith!
Above are the fantastic RAF Falcons Parachute Display Team. To see the Hercules which carried the team up, coming in to land on the airstrip was an amazing sight.
During the show the airfield was attacked by German ME108 and ME109 aircraft, resulting in a Spitfire and Hurricane scramble. Set to pyrotechnics and with lookalikes on the ground, this display is a definite blast from the past!
No Captain Mannering, but there were some good stand-ins with Dads Army making an appearance!
This Hurricane flew alongside an Avro Lancaster bomber. A stunning display as ever.
The world's only formation wing-walking team sponsored by skincare giants Guinot, using Boeing Stearman bi-planes.
Team Guinot performed spectacular new sequences. Having appeared from show number one, this year saw a unique sight of five aircraft with wing-walkers.
Haurel and Lardy are amusing. I must say, like a big kid, I was chuckling all the way through their act. I think Olly noticed, as he gave us a wave as he and Stanley drove off!

In GTA there's always been a nack to shaking the cops off your tail, whether that's outrunning them and hiding in your safehouse or just simply climbing on a roof and waiting for them to pass. Well according to a Facebook post by Gamestop you can now use rival gangs to your advantage by letting them deal with the cops.
"In GTAV, street gangs are still a problem in Los Santos, while the Lost Motorcycle Club is making moves in Blaine County. Some gangs are more interested in fighting the cops than each other – use that to your advantage when escaping the authorities." reads the Gamestop post.
The concept of gangs in GTA 4 was really put on the back burner. Sure they were there, you had the Russians in Hove Beach and the Mafia in Algonquin but the reputation system found in GTA 3 and San Andreas wasn't there. Missions where you needed to take out the top dog gave you a heft bit of heat for a while, but after that you could return to their territories without anyone batting an eyelid.
From the post above it seems that in GTA V gangs might take a more predominant role and we might even see the return of the reputation system. Either way, if this dynamic really works it'd be interesting to see what mayhem you could cause by leading a bunch of cops into rival gang territory.
GTA V is scheduled for release on September 17 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Release Date: June 7, 2016
Publisher: SparkPress
Format: Kindle
Pages: 328 pages
Genre: Sci Fi/ Fantasy
Buy: Kindle | Paperback
But what about the tattoo? And the alien scouts who visit Courtney in her bedroom at night claiming to have shared an alliance with her grandfather? And her new friend Agatha's apocalyptic visions? They have to be connected. Courtney has a mission: untangle her past, discover the truth, and stop the apocalypse before anyone from school finds out she's missing.
Review:Courtney doesn't know if she is going crazy or if the things she is seeing and experiencing are real. When she meets the girl who has been showing up in her visions she thinks she has definitely lost her mind. Through a series of missteps and teenage bravado Courtney and her new friend Agatha try to save the world.
I don't know how Stefani did it but he nailed Courtney's character right down to her teenage angsty speech. From the battle with parents and siblings to worrying about her social life Courtney comes to life. (Interesting how most of the "bad guys" in this book are adults.) Courtneys mother is by far the nastiest woman, I'm not even sure I could completely believe her character there were so many times I wanted to shake her while reading this book. Overall this was a fun, interesting, page turning read. It has the potential to turn into a fun series as well. I definitely would recommend this book to anyone who wants a fun, teen x-files adventure.

There's been a bit of a gap in the blogging, not for want of things to say, just time to say them! We've been back to Northern Europe for a month – lots of snow in Hamburg, and very cold. Here we've had some dramatic weather – 140km/h wind gusts recorded, but we are still here! Now wind back to late February. They call it Kokkino Vrechi – "red rain". It comes from the Sahara on a hot South wind, strong enough last year to strip off a gutter and 15 tiles!
On the night of 21st Feb, we just such an experience. Luckily this time, no house damage, but plenty out in the garden. We lost a large pithoi out on the swimming pool terrace, despite several attempts by John to wire it up (again) to the railings.
Our terrace chairs had been fighting up on the East balcony.
The cypresses look like they've had one too many raki.
The car had been neatly camouflaged out on the parking area.
There's plenty of window cleaning to be done,
Oh, and whoops! The concrete mixer has been blown over.
Yes – blown over!

Cyber Security Weekly Podcast
Episode 124 – Electronic Frontier Foundation – Privacy, Policy, Police & Problems - #KLNext Series
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is the leading nonprofit organization defending civil liberties in the digital world. Founded in 1990, EFF champions user privacy, free expression, and innovation through impact litigation, policy analysis, grassroots activism, and technology development. The EFF works to ensure that rights and freedoms are enhanced and protected as the use of technology grows.
This interview with Eva Galperin, Director of Cybersecurity dives into cybersecurity, privacy and security and the future around implants, robotics and Avatars. Prior to 2007, when she came to work for EFF, Eva worked in security and IT in Silicon Valley and earned degrees in Political Science and International Relations from SFSU. Her work is primarily focused on providing privacy and security for vulnerable populations around the world. To that end, she has applied the combination of her political science and technical background to everything from organizing EFF's Tor Relay Challenge, to writing privacy and security training materials (including Surveillance Self Defense and the Digital First Aid Kit), and publishing research on malware in Syria, Vietnam, Kazakhstan. When she is not collecting new and exotic malware, she practices aerial circus arts and learning new languages.

Unfortunately, this particular town hall was overshadowed by the despicable behavior of many of the attendees.
First was the shouting down of the invocation:
Then there was the disruption of the Pledge of Allegiance:
Did I become angry watching these videos? Absolutely. But should I be the least bit surprised? Nah, not really. After all, people of this ilk booed God and Jerusalem at the 2012 Democrat National Convention.
I guess proggies will never cease being the scorpion to basic civility's frog.

It's not just for straight guys.
When Bravo's "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" was rebooted on Netflix last year, it returned with an important difference: a shorter title.
So it was inevitable that "Queer Eye" — full stop — would eventually extend its makeover services to more than just straight guys.
We didn't see much of that in the show's first season, which played it safe with all-male makeover subjects (only one of whom wasn't straight). But Season 2 (streaming now) mixes up that formula in its first episode, which features its first makeover of a woman.
"We've never done a lady," Karamo Brown, the Fab Five's culture expert, says in the episode's opening.
"I haven't done a lady in years," adds food and wine expert Antoni Poworski.
One challenge they faced was distinguishing their episode from the zillions of other lady makeovers on TV. The right subject would need more than a blowout and a pep talk: She would have real issues for the guys to dig into.
They chose Tammye, a mom with a 22-year-old gay son. To meet them, the Fab Five (Brown, Porowski, Tan France, Bobby Berk and Jonathan Van Ness) drove out to the town of Gay, Georgia, population 89.
In a typical episode, the Fab Five touches up the makeover subjects' personal habits, appearance and home, often ending on a note that tackles an issue in their personal life. (For example, in Season 1 they helped a depressed man find joie de vivre again and a divorced man in a rut reunite with his ex).
The Season 1 finale was an exception to the rule of making over a subject's personal space: It starred a fireman who wanted them to touch up his firehouse instead. Similarly, Tammye wants the Fab Five to touch up her church's community space.
Tammye's 22-year-old son, Miles, has recently moved back home with his mother, and as a gay man, he has reservations about the small-town church community she's involved in, since he experienced bullying growing up. The episode splits equal time between mother and son, with Karamo spearheading the efforts to give Miles the glow-up while the rest of the gang tackles Tammye and the community centre.
The episode therefore still has the "Queer Eye" spirit of a makeover that goes beyond a fresh new look into the deeper topics of family and acceptance.
It's a tearjerker of an episode, but we won't tell you which Fab Five member cries the most. That would be a spoiler.

From the beginning of the 40th week, over 90% of influenza A viruses detected by SARI (severe acute respiratory infection) cases were subtyped, and 80% of them were A (H1N1) pdm09.
In general, current influenza vaccines tend to act better against influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 and influenza virus B than against influenza A (H3N2).
Preliminary assessments of the effectiveness of the vaccine continue to support the use of vaccines. Initial data suggest that vaccines are effective, but estimates vary depending on the population surveyed and the proportions of subtypes of circulating viruses.
The data from Member States reporting to EuroMOMO show that increased mortality in persons has returned to normal.
Increased mortality is noticed in the age group over 65 years and less in the age group of 15-64 years.

I'm holding my breath to see what next year holds for me. I want to phone. To email. To write. To find out what they've decided. I'm full of trepidation but also completely excited. I feel like I have found my answer. I guess part of my changing attitude totally accepts that this doesn't need to happen right away.
But I can't escape the person I have been for so many years – I'm still IMPATIENT! I always want things to happen now. I wish this meant that I lived more in the now but funnily enough it doesn't. Anyway, it would be great to know before we go away. Wishful thinking I guess….

i feel like crap today
Posted: April 2, 2009 at 6:07 am
my sinus headache is killing me, i am tired and it freaking snowed lasted night.
i am being punished, i am consumed with guilt, i told a giant lie on film yesterday. and i told the lie because i was ashamed and it just slipped out before i could think.
you just watch…there is seven hours of real truth to edit down to a few brief minutes of story and that freaking lie will make it thru all the cutting and editing right to the final product that everyone sees.
i could just kill myself.
everyone lies sometimes…even me, it is a self protecting thing.
so this is how the lie went…i am sitting on my bed with a bunch of dogs…the camera is a foot away from my face and the reporter is astonished that 7 dogs are sleeping on my bed at night (ok so i know it is nutz)…we are talking about incontinence and pooping/peeing animals which is not nice to live with (and i know this is nutz too)…i am beginning to panic as i feel "crazy" closing in and out of the corner of my eye i see copper, the little bastard…walk into my room, squat 2 feet away from us in plain view and take a poop. (in my head i am screaming….oh my freaking god copper…i am going to kill you!)
the reporter leans closer to pet angel who is cuddled up to my side and he peers close at her and asks…."what's that on her nose?" and out flew that freaking lie.
i look away, i can't make eye (or camera) contact and i mumble something about maybe cancer/maybe biospy..shit i am not even sure what freaking bullshit i said.
its RINGWORM…why didn't i just say it…or why didn't i just say, its a lesion or a fungal infection or something non specific but still totally true????
because i am a freaking weak and spineless cowardly liar who is obviously ashamed because a dog in my care got something gross like ringworm and STILL sleeps on my bed.
in my head i know she has ringworm because she is diabetic and i let the forgotten feline ringworm cats get in our door and bring it in here…and there is not much i can do about that except deal with it til we finally wipe it out. and i wouldn't not take those cats in again knowing it would probably affect some of the immuno compromised because…ringworm is just not a big deal.
UNLESS you actually have to say the word while looking like a nut case on national tv.
i so suck and someone please shoot me and put me out of my misery.

Hamasaki Arata was an avid dating sim gamer, building one harem after another in his little cyberspace. However, he just happened upon a newly released dating sim game called Player-kun Complex. In-game, the women the player maxes would be obsessed with loving the player in what seemed to be a compulsive way, which is like developing a complex. Seeing the gorgeous arts as part of the game's introduction, Arata immediately downloaded it.
After months, he was able to reach end game, maxing all the available women referred to as 'date-ables'. Just when he was getting bored of the game, the developers announced a major update, adding new date-ables and the notorious Encounter Mode. Like any other loyal player, Arata patched the game. He did while walking home and met a rather fatal accident.
Basically dying with the phone in his hands, Hamasaki Arata gets transported inside the game. Now, Arata meets all the date-able heroines that he maxed, and had to manage living in their synchronized routes. Not to mention the new ones he wanted to unlock and max as well.
This begins a struggle of a nobody turned into a living god in a world he had built in his little cyberspace.

text: Geoffrey Settle 12 Report post Posted July 24, 2017 TM Survey out today highlight the stress levels of 52 towns/cities - London is the most stressful but Warrington is the tenth least stressful place in the list in 43rd. http://www.totallymoney.com/most-stressed-cities-uk/ Apparently it's based on an analysis of stress-inducing factors across the country – including finances, commute time, job opportunities and crime rates – to calculate the most and least stressed towns and cities in the UK. Interestingly 3 of the places that beat us in the 2021 culture bid are more stressful places to be in - I wonder if that is why they had the edge? What do you make of this survey - may the answers are in the ranking breakdown figures - do we really have 0% job growth and take 47 minutes to get to work?

Many users of "GNU/Linux", such as Richard Stallman, have been preaching about the benefits of free software for many years. Having said that, the reality is that it doesn't make very much business sense to release your source code to the general public. While there are certain situations where creating an open source platform, such as Firefox or Android, can lead to new revenue streams, most of the developers in the free software movement aren't exactly in it for the money. This could all change with decentralized applications that take advantage of the Bitcoin blockchain. The technology behind Bitcoin could be the healthy dose of greed that this movement needs to survive.
Decentralized Applications
A decentralized application is basically a platform build on top of a cryptocurrency. The services involved with the application are what give the cryptocurrency its value. If you want to purchase any of the services offered by the application, you have to pay for it with that app's currency. This is what creates demand for the new currency and gives it value. Namecoin, a decentralized DNS, allows anyone to register a .bit domain name on the decentralized application. Those .bit domain names must be purchase with namecoins, which many of the developers and early adopters held from day one. The value of those namecoins has increased dramatically as more people have decided to purchase .bit domain names.
Incentives for Early Adopters
Right now, most free software projects get off the ground by collecting donations through a crowdfunding website. While this is sometimes helpful for programmers, it still doesn't help as much as the decentralized application model. With a decentralized app, early adopters also get rewarded for telling their friends about the software or building on top of it. The best example of this intensified network effect is found in the first decentralized app, Bitcoin.

This week's worst looks all hinged on fabric choice. Either the fabric was the biggest flaw, or it was the only redeeming part of the outfit. To give you a little taste, we've got a denim patchwork mini dress on Dania Ramirez; a sparkly blue jumpsuit on Elizabeth Banks that's a pair of square shoulders and a bow-belt away from being awesome; and an unexpectedly skin-coloured dress on Mae Whitman. Other style sinners this time around include Scarlett Johansson, Kristen Bell, and Kourtney Kardashian who all failed to wow us with their usual stellar style.
When bad fabric happens to good people
Christina MilianChristina's been rocking a lot of dresses with jewellery accents lately. We've loved her previous looks, but there's something about this one that isn't on par. The neckline seems a little too wide—maybe it was made that way to accommodate the chains.Getty Images
Dania RamirezWe haven't seen this much patchwork denim since Britney and Justin's denim formalwear. That was the same time frame when jean ruffled mini skirts were all the rage, so we're thinking maybe Dania has a secret time machine. We say send the whole outfit back whence it came. Getty Images
Edith BowmanThis floral with black lace accents is so punchy to begin with, we think it would be better served used in moderation, instead of with a giant frock. The length, neckline and sleeves are way too much. It's a giant block of pattern that unfortunately takes all the attention away from Edith. Getty Images
Elizabeth BanksNot even Elizabeth Banks' best duck face could save this outfit. It's the square shoulders, bow-like belt, slouchy fabric around the waist that's ruining it for us. Love the sparkles, though, Lizzy. Can we call you Lizzy? Getty Images
Malika MenardThis former Miss France is showing that her style in real life is far from just pageant gowns. We love that she's doing a new take on the classic leather jacket, but we're not convinced it's a good take. Part of the problem is that this little cropped jacket has lapels that cover the entire shoulder. Scale 'em back, s'il vous plait. Getty Images
Juliette BinocheLike with Malika Menard, we appreciate that Juliette isn't sticking to the traditional leather jacket length. On the other hand, we love the colour blocked dress underneath and wish that it was uncovered. The wide leather belt also looks a little bit cheap against the luxurious fabric.Getty Images
Karena Lam Ka-yanNow this is a bold look. Karena truly looks like she's about to take flight. We get that it's meant to be a little over the top, but we'd still prefer it without the shoulder feathers. The brown seems out of place with the rest of the colour scheme.Getty Images
Kourtney KardashianKourtney K's pants had a serious accident. Luckily, the doctors were able to save them…just not their style. Perhaps it's just us, but this sutured-up-the-thigh style is totally not our cup of tea. We will not be visiting your site this time, Kourt. Instagram/Kourtney Kardashain
Kristen BellWe feel like we could replicate Kristen Bell's look pretty easily with a trip to the mall, which isn't the ideal reaction when you're attending a movie premiere. Kristen looks super cute, but we've seen her in outfits that are both more fun and more sophisticated than this.Getty Images
Laura CarmichaelWe don't think Lady Edith Crawley would approve of this outfit. The shape is golden, but the fabric looks a little too much like upholstery. We love brocade as much as Laura does, but there's always a risk it can come off a little furniture-y, and this repetitive pink pattern doesn't help.Getty Images
Lisa KudrowThe different sized mesh on this dress is really cool, but the big discrepancy between the length of the slip and the overlay doesn't fit with the tidiness of the top of the dress. We also think this dress could be improved with a different sleeve, as the T-shirt-length ones make it a little too casual.Getty Images
Mae WhitmanIn any other colour this dress could work, especially with the cute braid crown. However, we just don't love it when an entire dress is too close to the wearer's skin tone. Skin tone fabrics should be used to create the illusion of showing a little skin, not to make it look like your body ends in a skirt instead of legs.Getty Images
Millie BradyThis is really creative for a red carpet—you don't see a spaghetti strap jumpsuit with culottes legs in tweed every day. We applaud her loudly for wearing something different, but we feel that this jumpsuit might be better in a softer, lighter fabric that would make the culottes' legs less stiff.Getty Images
Naomi ScottThe concept of this is interesting and we can totally get behind it. It's like a cape but a skirt, and we see so many possibilities. Unfortunately, we don't think this incarnation works. The flimsy slip just doesn't hold up against the warrior glam of the skirt/cape. Needs a bit of workshopping.Getty Images
Paz VegaThis dress is a piece of art, but instead of complementing the rest the room, it's the giant impressionist landscape that overpowers everything in it. We love the top of the gown, but we wish the pattern on the skirt was as bold, and not watered down by a layer of tulle. The proportions could also use a little tweaking.Getty Images
Sara EscuderoWe can picture Spanish presenter Sara Escudero alongside Paris Hilton and pre-fame Kim Kardashian at Oktoberfest. This dress is a cross between a dirndl (the female equivalent of lederhosen) and something that would be worn in the fourth low budget sequel to A Cinderella Story.Getty Images
Scarlett JohanssonThis outfit throws us for something of a loop. We like this bright purple hue on Scarlett, but it's the only part of this look that doesn't feel dated. The high waisted slacks and brown blouse are already a little drab, and then she's paired them with pale pink low heeled mules. Why, Scarjo?Getty Images

Garnachas are very thick deep fried corn tortillas, topped with diced meat with sauces and grated cheese, cabbage and chile en escabeche (sort of pickled concoction of sliced jalapeno peppers, onions, carrots, etc.). These were delicious! I found them at a restaurant in Ipala. I highly recommend them. They were 3 for Q15 (3 for less than $2).
