THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Rex Cafe Restaurant Review: This great neighborhood place has been somewhat overlooked but certainly not by the locals that flock to its rib-sticking nightly offerings. The dinner specials are particularly alluring, with half a roasted chicken, flavored with black pepper and lemon, paired with polenta for $15.95. There is also an à la carte menu with escargot, French onion soup, salads and one of the best pot roasts around. Save room for the dense chocolate torte or the crème brûlée.

I think it's a myth.
Honestly, now -- have you ever really seen anyone walking down the street with their arms stacked high with wrapped Christmas gifts?
It's a nice image, but if it ever did happen, it doesn't happen anymore. Today's shoppers lug around plastic bags stuffed with gifts that need to be wrapped after they get home.
Some stores hand out free gift boxes, but those will still have to be wrapped by the customer.
I do remember when many of the stores wrapped gifts for their customers. They had big rolls of wrapping paper hung on the end of the counter, and they wrapped them on the spot, right after you bought them.
I'm not sure why, but it seemed that the stores usually had striped wrapping paper at Christmas.
One time, a lady clerk showed me how to make fancy, spiky bows, and I still make them sometimes when I want to make a package look really special.
I must admit that I'm glad clerks don't have the responsibility of wrapping the customers' Christmas gifts anymore. It would definitely require a lot of time and a lot more counter space than my workplace offers!

You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl, at least not when it comes to the pristine beauty of the Laurentian Mountains and Heidi Berger.
Berger, who lives in Montreal with her husband, Joe, was born in Ste-Agathe, where she spent most of her formative years until moving to Montreal to attend McGill at the tender age of 16.
The daughter of Holocaust survivors, the local videographer and filmmaker has a special connection to what is commonly referred to as "the country" - the area to the north of Montreal that includes towns such as St. Sauveur, Ste-Adèle, Ste-Agathe and St-Jovite. Not only was it her first home, it is where her parents, who survived the war by hiding out in attics, cellars and the woods in their native country of Poland, rebuilt their lives while still experiencing acts of anti-Semitism in the tiny Ste-Agathe in the early 1950s.
In spite of their struggles, or perhaps because of them, the family prospered, and although her brothers have long since moved away and she raised her own family in the city, Berger has never strayed far from her Laurentian roots, spending most weekends in the house where she grew up. But time marches on and slowly changes our realities; as her three children graduated from university, left the province and began lives of their own, the old homestead was sold.
Six years ago, Berger and her husband decided it was time to find another country retreat. Retirement seemed a tangible achievement within the decade and the active couple, who bike, jog, swim and hike, wanted a place that fit their needs, but would also accommodate frequent visits from their children and grandchildren. After much searching, they decided to buy into a condo/townhouse development in Mont-Tremblant. The location was perfect; a 90-minute drive from Montreal and close to ski hills, bike paths and hiking trails. Since the development was part of a condo-like community, they didn't have to worry about maintaining the grounds, plus there was a golf course, swimming pool, tennis courts and, just a short stroll from their backyard, the lovely, winding Rouge River with a small private beach.
As a real estate developer, Joe Berger knows there can be some advantages to purchasing a property in the preconstruction phase. So even though their getaway began as a vacant lot, they were able to custom-design the interior of their home.
"I wanted a bright, easy-to-care-for home with enough space for me and Joe and the kids to stay, and still have our separate spaces," Heidi said.
The Bergers hired designer Wendy-Lee Fiset to help them turn their ideas into a finished product.
"I was with them from when there was nothing there, to them moving in," said the Montreal designer, who has previously done some interior work on the couple's city home.
"It took a year in total to make sure the plans worked - to have five bedrooms, to be a real family house with a warm, open concept and to have enough storage space for all of their sporting equipment."
The exteriors of the units in the complex have a unifying appearance; two-or three-storey greenish-grey townhouses with the outside stairs, beams and roofs accented in golden honey brown pine, a small landscaped garden out front and, in the Bergers' case, a full forest view out from the rear windows and deck.
But once inside, imaginations and heartfelt dreams let loose to transform the standard into the remarkable.
To provide separate living areas for themselves and their guests, the Bergers decided to divide the two-storey, 2,500-square-foot space into an open-concept upstairs to include the kitchen, living and dining rooms, master bedroom with ensuite and a guest bedroom with its own powder room. The lower level, with its three small but functional bedrooms, large bathroom, small open den and very large laundry/storage room is more cloistered, allowing everyone their own private space.
To optimize the open living space upstairs, a wall adjacent to the staircase was removed and a yawning cathedral ceiling, complete with an A-shape dark wood beam, was added to maximize the use of natural light and give the room a European countryside cachet. Additional pot lighting assures a level of brightness long after the sun goes down and the blinds are drawn. The kitchen, with all of its modern elements, is tucked along one wall and opens into the main room, separated by an island designed to include many drawers and nooks for storage, as well as two thatch-seated stools for casual comfort and functionality.
Rich walnut-coloured oiled floors add an opulent contrast to the breezy decor.
Once the plans were done and the work completed, Fi-set and Berger got down to furnishing and decorating the house.
"It was a lot of fun, and a lot of hard work," Fiset said, "but there was no prevarication. There was a budget, but we knew what was needed - everything."
To maintain a simple, clean template on the upstairs level, Fiset chose cream for the walls.
The rest of the colour scheme came from a very unexpected place - a Ber-gère chair.
"Heidi saw this chair that had a white distressed finish. She liked it, but I dismissed it because I thought it was too fancy to fit into the country look."
But after some consideration, Fiset changed her mind as she envisioned European country chalets. Suddenly the chair seemed to fit.
"I thought that would be the piece to help me make all the decisions, so we bought the chair. That started it and the rest was easy."
They kept white as the base colour, which is reflected in the kitchen cabinets, dining room table and chairs and area rug, using blue as an accent for the chair backs and seats, as well as the couch and the trim on the rug. Soft yellow pillows on the couch add a touch of warmth, and red placements on the dining room table offer a splash of drama and contrast nicely with the pine mouldings of the windows. Most of the wood furniture has a very definite Québécois flavour, with many pieces, including an armoire in a downstairs bedroom, crafted by a local artisan. The painting above the couch is by Montreal artist Sara Peck Colby and other items, such as the telephone table, were commissioned by Antiquités Pointe-Claire.
The coffee table in the living room is especially noticeable; the blue and yellow accents fit nicely into the overall scheme, and it's a handmade reproduction of one that is currently in the McCord Museum in Montreal.
"It's a Quebec piece, a reproduction of a 19th century pine side table that was half-moon shaped, but we had it made as an oval," Fiset said.
Downstairs, the look is more casual and youthful, with a bright red upholstered couch with white checks as the centrepiece in the open den. Each bedroom has been optimized for space, with armoires and wooden chests replacing the standard cupboard for storing clothing.
A Berber-type carpet covers the floors. With its fibre weave and colour blend, it's the perfect surface for such a high-traffic area, since double patio doors in the den lead right outside to the ground level and a nearby golf course, the perfect venue for cross-country skiing on a snowy day.
From glasses and flatware to bedding and artwork, every item in the house was carefully and lovingly chosen in the context of the dream getaway initially envisioned while standing on an empty lot.
Six years later, is Berger happy with the result?
She said she loves the house, which she, Joe and her children use often.
But for her, there's something deeper happening when she leaves the city and heads up north: The moment the car engine stops and she steps out onto the road beside the house, she is enveloped with a sense of quiet calm.
"The country does this to me," she said. "Any time, any season, it's just such a comforting, relaxing place to be."
Couple find their country bliss
You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl, at least not when it comes to the pristine beauty of the Laurentian Mountains and Heidi Berger.

This was a fun recipe and believe it or not, very easy to make. They really didn't take that long either to make, bake & put together and I even made a double recipe. Most importantly, they are delicious. I would definitely make these again. I wouldn't say they taste like Oreos. I mean, Oreos have a very special taste & texture that I don't think can be imitated. Yes, Oreos are a store bought cookie and often those cannot compare to homemade but they do have their place and I like store bought Oreos. These homemade ones have a more chewy cookie texture and softer cream filling and obviously MORE filling than the average Oreo - even the double suff. I had to let the cookies sit for awhile after filling so the cream could crust a bit and set so they don't slide apart so easily. I filled them so much that when you bite into one, the filling oozes out the side but I don't really have a problem with that!
When I baked the cookies, it was kind of hard to tell when they were done. The recipe states 9 minutes and I think I waited till 10 or 11 minutes went by before removing them from the oven. That turned out to be a perfect amount of time for my cookies. I didn't roll the dough into balls, I just used a pretty small cookie scoop - that worked fine. I used a clear vanilla extract in my filling so it would stay nice and white and I whipped it a long time to make it fluffy. I used a piping bag with a plain round tip to pipe the filling onto the cookies but if you don't have a piping bag, you could easily use a butter knife to spread the filling.
Homemade OreosIngredients
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) room-temperature, unsalted butter
1 large egg
Filling:1/4 cup (1/2 stick) room-temperature, unsalted butter
1/4 cup vegetable shortening (you could omit the shortening and use all butter, but the shortening helps the filling to set)
2 cups sifted confectioners sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
a tiny pinch of salt
- Set two racks in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 375°F.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, thoroughly mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda and powder, salt, and sugar. On low speed, add the butter, and then the egg. Continue processing or mixing until dough comes together in a mass.
- Take rounded teaspoons of batter and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet approximately two inches apart. With a flat-bottomed glass, slightly flatten the dough by pressing down lightly. Bake for 9 minutes. Set baking sheets on a rack to cool.
- To make the cream, place butter and shortening in a mixing bowl, and at low speed, gradually beat in the sugar, vanilla, and salt. Turn the mixer on high and beat for 2 to 3 minutes until filling is light and fluffy.
- To assemble the cookies, in a pastry bag with a round tip, pipe the cream into the center of one cookie. Place another cookie, equal in size to the first, on top of the cream. Lightly press, to work the filling evenly to the outsides of the cookie. Continue this process until all the cookies have been sandwiched with cream.

J.D. Phillips to Deliver Friday's LaFollette Lecture• October 11, 2007 Share:
J.D. Phillips, Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Wabash College, will present the 28th Annual LaFollette Lecture Friday, October 19 at Wabash College.
"On Self-delusion and Unimaginable Beauty: a Mathematician's Reveries from the Margins" will be the title of the presentation, which will begin at 4:15 p.m. in Salter Hall of the Fine Arts Center. A reception will follow his talk in the Littell Lobby in the Fine Arts Center.
Phillips studied at Briar Cliff University and received his Ph.D. at Iowa State University. He took a position in 2001 teaching mathematics and computer science at Wabash College. He has written several articles and publications and is currently on sabbatical in Prague from the College.
The LaFollette Lecture Series was established by the Wabash College Board of Trustees to honor Charles D. LaFollette, their longtime colleague on the Board. The lecture is given each year by a Wabash College faculty member who is charged to address the relation of his or her special discipline to the humanities broadly conceived.
The LaFollette Lecture is free and open to the public.

How do you like the sound of a high-end Vizio smartphone running stock Android 4.1 Jelly Bean? What if I told you the 5-inch display has a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels and is backed up by a dual-core Qualcomm processor clocked at 1.5GHz and 2GB of RAM? Well, if you want one you'll need to buy it in China because that's the only market Vizio is currently targeting with its first smartphone releases in a couple of years.
Alongside the flagship model there's a 4.7-inch 720p smartphone also running Jelly Bean. This cheaper model is packing a 1.2GHz dual-core MediaTek chip with 1GB of RAM. It's also a dual-SIM device and so you can press a button to remove the chrome bottom plate and access the dual-SIM slot and the microSD card slot. The back is matte plastic and will apparently come in a variety of colors beyond the white that Vizio showed off.
According to The Verge, Vizio's CTO Matt McRae mentioned that the devices would run on AT&T's 3G network in the States, but the lack of official carrier support Stateside means no 4G LTE. China is a good target for Vizio since the market is growing so fast over there right now. If things go well we may see some Vizio smartphones on U.S. carriers in the not too distant future.

Financial advisors, in a snap CNBC survey, say their clients are mostly invested in the stock market and plan to hang onto their holdings.
Fifty-eight percent of the 26 advisors surveyed said their clients are fully invested, and 81 percent said they plan to retain their positions.
Fifteen percent said the Dow crossing 17,000 gives them an opportunity to speak with their clients about adding to holdings. Just one advisor said clients were selling at this level, and another said they were staying out of the market.
The S&P 500 was off 0.7 percent Tuesday after setting a series of new highs last week. The Dow's roughly 100 point decline put it below the 17,000 marker. The VIX, the market's fear gauge, jumped 10 percent for a two-day gain of nearly 20 percent.

A Johns Hopkins bioethicist joined other government and health officials in calling on the U.S. Congress to do more to protect doctors in war zones such as Syria.
In recent remarks to Congress, Leonard Rubenstein, a bioethicist at Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics specializing in protection of human rights in areas of conflict, said violations of medical neutrality must have consequences.
"Adherence to norms won't take place unless it becomes a diplomatic priority, with the U.S. and other states using their considerable leverage to demand adherence to international law," he said in a prepared statement.
Rubenstein supports the Medical Neutrality Protection Act, introduced in July by Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash.
More than 1,800 people in 16 countries have been killed or wounded in violence against health care workers, in violation of international laws included in the Geneva Convention, noted Rubenstein, also a faculty member at the Johns Hopkins Center for Public Health and Human Rights.
The Obama administration and the World Health Organization have both been documented abuses, he said. But, "We need a far more vigorous approach, where perpetrators face consequences for their abuses," he said.

EPA Permit Requires PREPA to Build New Pipe at South Coast Plant
Release Date: 10/15/2008
Contact Information: Elias Rodriguez (212) 637-3664, email@example.com or Brenda Reyes (787) 977-5869, email@example.com
(San Juan, P.R.) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today announced that it is proposing to renew a water discharge permit, called a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, which would allow the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) to discharge cooling water from its South Coast power plant into Guayanilla Bay. The permit requires PREPA to build a longer pipe to move the discharge of the warm, cooling water into a deeper and cooler part of the bay, so it will not adversely impact marine life.
"Constructing a new outfall pipe will provide a long-term solution that will protect aquatic life and the surrounding ecosystem," said Alan J. Steinberg, EPA Regional Administrator. "We have carefully considered the alternatives, and met with the Guayanilla community several times during the decision-making process for this permit. We now invite further public review and input."
Under the Clean Water Act, permit requirements specify rigorous effluent limitations and monitoring requirements to protect human health and the environment. At the South Coast plant, an average of 870 million gallons per day of cooling water and trace amounts of treated wastewater and storm water are discharged through an open canal into a small cove and then into Guayanilla Bay. The temperature of the discharge exceeds Puerto Rico's water quality standards.
EPA is proposing to renew the required permit, allowing PREPA to continue discharging, but PREPA must construct an outfall discharge pipe offshore so that the warm water can mix with the ocean's colder water in order to meet the water quality standard for temperature (90° F, 32.2° C). This new outfall pipe will replace the discharge canal that currently empties into the cove at the shoreline.
Multiple locations for the proposed pipeline are being considered. PREPA must go through an environmental review process for this project and assess the impacts of building the pipe in various locations. EPA is also requiring PREPA to submit progress reports every six months, and the permit contains a compliance schedule with several interim milestones that must be met during the period leading up to construction of the new discharge pipe. PREPA will also develop a construction mitigation plan to minimize environmental impacts during the construction of the new pipe; the plan will include requirements for PREPA to transplant sea grasses and grow new coral in other locations.
The water discharge permit also requires that the location, design, construction and capacity of cooling water intake structures reflect the best technology available to protect aquatic organisms from being killed or injured by being pinned against screens or other parts of the intake structure. Additionally, it sets requirements to prevent aquatic life from being drawn into cooling water systems and subjected to thermal, physical or chemical stresses.
The public comment period for this proposed permit runs until November 30, 2008. Written comments will be addressed in EPA's final permit decision. Additional opportunities for community input will occur during the project's environmental review process. The draft permit and accompanying fact sheet will be available in the Guayanilla Public Library.

Loizides Theatre Group to stage 'Electra' Sept. 24 at WCSU
DANBURY, CONN. — The internationally acclaimed Leonidas and Eftychia Loizides Theatre Group will stage a performance of the classical Greek play "Electra" by Sophocles on Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2013, at Western Connecticut State University.
The performance will be at 7 p.m. in Ives Concert Hall in White Hall on the university's Midtown campus, 181 White St. in Danbury. Admission will be free and the public is invited. The presentation has been made possible by a grant from the foundation of Brookfield industrialist and philanthropist Constantine "Deno" Macricostas and his wife Marie.
Celebrated actress Eftychia Loizides will star in and direct this production. Renowned for her acting performances in Greek dramas on stage and television, she also has garnered critical praise abroad for her leading roles in previous touring productions by Leonidas Loizides of "Oresteia" by Aeschylus and "Iphigenia in Tauris" by Euripides.
In her notes about the current production, Loizides provided some context for her performance.
"Sophocles' play 'Electra' (410 B.C.) tells the story of a young woman anxiously awaiting the return of her brother whose sole purpose in life is to avenge their father's death by murdering his killers: their mother, Clytemnestra, and her new husband, Aegisthus.
"The ancient Greek drama was born at a time of transition from a more collective energy (the family, the tribe) to a more personal one, courtesy of the benefits afforded by democracy: namely freedom of speech and the right to deviate in opinion from the consensus. The result was a realization that these previously deemed privileges constituted basic human rights that one was entitled to and, should these be breached, one ought to fight for them.
"Today, 2,500 years later, we see that, sadly, human rights are still in regression, even in the civilizations of the West. When we speak of human rights, we are referring to our basic liberties — the way one deserves to be treated. Electra is not a single person; she represents a collective force. She is the global person who is 'electrified' by injustice and fights to right wrongs; she could be a child, a mother, a father, a teacher.
"Sophocles wrote his play at a time of great upheaval," Loizides wrote. "Today, too, is a time of immense upheaval and it is in times like these that man begins to question everything: who he is, where he comes from, his purpose of existence. Even if he does not have the answers to these plaguing questions, the mere fact that he refuses to take anything for granted is compliant with the spirit of the ancient Greek drama."
The performance marks the fourth consecutive year that Western has hosted the Loizides Theatre Group sponsored by the Macricostas Foundation. The group's previous WCSU performances have included Aeschylus' "Oresteia" in 2010, Euripides' "Iphigenia in Tauris" in 2011, and "Helen of Troy" in 2012.
For more information, call (203) 837-8734.
Western Connecticut State University offers outstanding faculty in a range of quality academic programs. Our diverse university community provides students an enriching and supportive environment that takes advantage of the unique cultural offerings of Western Connecticut and New York.

Would be really helpful if we could mark an order as being processed. Just having New and Fulfilled is limiting…
June 13 2012, 11:20AM
@Elliot, isn't fulfilled same as processed? what is the difference in your mind?

Great article Mark!
Just wanted to mention here that an alternative to PixelPrinter is OrderlyPrint, it let's you print the documents in bulk (up to 250 orders at a time) whereas PixelPrinter is one at a time. It's a paid app (PixelPrinter is free) but customers say it pays for itself many times over with the time saved each day.
Just thought I'd mention it as it's certainly something for making order fulfillment more efficient.
All the best,
Bjorn Forsberg

@numan, there is a difference. For us, we produce canvas prints and there are a lot of steps in between. Our biggest customer issue is they assume that Unfulfilled means we aren't working on it (despite receiving emails from us telling them we are). And since our time from start to finish can be as long as three weeks, unfulfilled is a big problem.
July 12 2012, 04:00AM
Just wanted to mention that I found this great app to help with e-commerce fulfilment. It is called ShippingEasy.
July 13 2012, 04:17PM
These are some great tips and advice for order fulfillment. I'd like to see some details of specific products you would recommend to help order fulfillment in the warehouse process.
July 17 2012, 05:18AM
@numan – apologies for slow reply – would be good if Shopify had email if reply given on their comments.
We create our product. So our work flow needs to be
1) New Order
2) Order printed and set to processing. The order is then created.
3) When it is completed it is shipped and fulfilled. You add a tracking number and a confirmation is sent to the customer.
Massive problem not having step 2.
Haven't found an answer to this yet.

During the first round of the playoffs, the lowest-ranked wild-card team plays the lowest-ranked division champion, while the other two wild-card teams play each other. The new era eliminated and the winner of each game advances to play one of the remaining division champions in the semifinals. Semifinal TOMS shoes advance to the conference finals, and the winner of that game is declared the conference champion.
The Vince Lombardi Trophy, named in holister of former Green Bay Packers coach, is a sterling silver trophy awarded annually to the winners of the National Football League's championship. The Super Bowl is the final contest of the NFL's season. Held each January, it pits the AFC and NFC champions against each other. The Super Bowl reaches hundreds of millions of viewers around the world. The first Super Bowl took place in 1967, when there were actually two separate football leagues, the NFL and the American Football League (AFL). In this game, the Green Bay Packers of the NFL defeated the Kansas City Chiefs of the AFL in what was called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. The game was bikinis the Super Bowl in 1969.
Every April the NFL conducts its amateur draft, in which each team obtains the rights to the professional services of the best college players. Any player who is three seasons out of high school qualifies for the NFL draft if that player renounces college football eligibility by early January. To determine the draft order the NFL goes by the win-loss records of the previous season, so that teams with poorer records draft earlier than those with better records. The NFL draft consists of seven rounds. Those players not selected in the draft can be invited to try out for a team and are sometimes NFL Men's Jerseys Jerseys to contracts as free agents.
The NFL is a big business for players, owners, advertisers, and other industries tied to the sport. NFL franchises generate huge revenues for host cities, in addition to promoting civic pride and national exposure. NFL Women's Jerseys , cities often compete for teams, offering prospective teams bigger and better stadiums, guaranteed fan support, and various economic incentives. In the 1980s three NFL teams relocated: the Oakland Raiders moved from Oakland, California, to Los Angeles in 1982; the Colts moved from Baltimore, Maryland, to Indianapolis, Indiana, and became the Indianapolis Colts in 1984; and the Cardinals moved from St. Louis, Missouri, to Phoenix, NFL Kids Jerseys, and became the Phoenix Cardinals in 1988 (later changed to NFL Kids Jerseys Jerseys Cardinals). Several other moves occurred in the 1990s. In 1995 the Los Angeles Rams became the St. Louis Rams when they moved from Los Angeles to St. Louis, and the Raiders returned to Oakland. The Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore, Maryland, in 1996; the team was renamedbikinis.org/" target=_blank> the Baltimore Ravens. In 1997 the Houston Oilers moved to Tennessee and became the Tennessee Titans. Other teams have agreed to stay in their home cities only with the promise of new facilities.
New teams are periodically accepted into the NFL, and there is usually fierce competition among cities to be selected as the home for a new team. In 1995 two of NFL Men's Jerseys expansion teams began play: the Carolina Panthers, in Charlotte, North Carolina; and the Jacksonville Jaguars, in Jacksonville, Florida. A new Cleveland Browns franchise began play in 1999. In 2012 UEFA, the newest expansion franchise, the Houston Texans, started playing at Reliant Stadium.

Although he neither coined the term "graphic novel" nor invented the form, Will Eisner ranks among America's most celebrated and influential sequential artists. The creator of "The Spirit" (a comic book hero who solved crimes without recourse to superpowers or high-tech gadgetry), "The Contract With God" (depicting tenement life during the Depression) and three books on writing and drawing sequential art, Eisner has influenced a generation of artists, writers and animators, including Jules Feiffer, Art Spiegelman and Brad Bird.
William Erwin Eisner was born in New York City in 1917. His artist manqué father encouraged his love of drawing; his discouraged, practical mother urged him to find a more secure career than art. He studied at the Art Students League under George Bridgman and Robert Brackman, whose influence is readily apparent in his work, and began his professional career doing illustrations for pulp magazines and early comic books.
In many ways, Eisner's artistic beginnings were typical of the generation of Jewish artist-writers who helped to create the comic book as we know it, especially the superhero and crime genres. But unlike many of his contemporaries who continued to work for minimal, by-the-page salaries, Eisner organized his own studios and paid other artists to work for him, including Feiffer and Mad's Dave Berg and Al Jaffee. He also recognized the potential of the comic book as a teaching tool, illustrating numerous publications for the U.S. military.
Schumacher doesn't really seem to grasp what sets Eisner's considerable output apart. What was it about "The Spirit" that attracted Bird, Tim Burton, John Musker and other bright young animators? Viewers who endured Frank Miller's wretched "Spirit" feature film probably wonder why anyone would bother reading the comic; Schumacher mentions only that the film premiered in 2008.
Instead, he fills pages with tangential, sometimes completely irrelevant details. Does anyone really care that Eisner's friend and later publisher Dennis Kitchen abandoned ROTC in college because he was allergic to the wool uniforms? A discussion of the young readers of the underground comix — many of whom became Eisner fans — includes such portentous pronouncements as, "To teenagers and young adults schooled in the hurricane mixture of rock 'n' roll, radical politics, free and open drug use, and casual sex, the more excessive the comic book could be the better. There was no room for compromise in a country engaged in an extremely unpopular war, where political assassinations destroyed any faith they might have had in their futures, where a dissident voice might be silenced by law enforcement officials using petty drug busts and subsequent incarcerations as a means of eliminating protestors.… Freedom of speech, although wounded, wasn't dead."
Schumacher wastes the reader's time with these digressions and also omits important information. Eisner's daughter Alice died of leukemia when she was 16. The artist reacted to her passing with as much rage as grief. Schumacher explains that Eisner later channeled his fury at the brevity of her life into "The Contract With God," in which the faith of the pious Frimme Hersh is shattered by the premature death of his adopted daughter Rachele. But Eisner also had a son, John. Schumacher mentions his birth, then John vanishes from the narrative except for two brief comments: He had ceased living at home at one point, and he suffered from mental illness. What ultimately became of John or of Ann, Eisner's widow, is left for the reader to discover on his own.
Too often, Schumacher talks about material that the book should have illustrated. He quotes Eisner's praise for Abe Kanegson's lettering in "The Spirit" — "He added a dimension of quality that typesetting could never get. His lettering is clear and legible, and in addition it lends warmth to the visuals." — but doesn't include any examples of that brilliant lettering. Although this book contains 50 black-and-white illustrations, most of them are printed quite small. Even the largest plates in the 16-page color insert are smaller than the original comic book covers, and most of the color artwork is undated.
Eisner has already been the subject of one biography, Bob Andelman's "Will Eisner: A Spirited Life," and a documentary, "Will Eisner: Portrait of a Sequential Artist" by Andrew D. Cooke and Jon B. Cooke. He gave extensive interviews during the latter part of his career and wrote introductions to many of his graphic novels (which are being reprinted by W.W. Norton). His work has been discussed in numerous books, starting with Feiffer's seminal "The Great Comic Book Heroes." To this already considerable body of material, "A Dreamer's Life in Comics" adds little.
Solomon is the author, most recently, of "The Art of 'Toy Story 3' " and "Tale as Old as Time: The Art and Making of 'Beauty & the Beast.' "

Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley is expecting ace tennis player Rafael Nadal to be fit for next year's first Grand Slam, and believes the Spaniard will arrive as a contender.
The world No.4 last week spoke of his return from a six-month break with knee soreness, but discounted his chances of winning the Open.
There is still significant conjecture whether he will be ready at all by January, but Tiley is confident after recently speaking with the 2009 Australian Open champion.
Nadal has not played since Wimbledon, but Tiley said the Spaniard has been practising regularly and would not enter a tournament half-fit.
"We expect him to play and he is expecting to play himself. I know a couple of weeks ago I sent him four cases of balls. I know he's been practicing," News.com.au quoted Tiley, as saying.
"I have been speaking to him and his team. His first planned event is back right after Christmas (a lucrative Abu Dhabi exhibition on December 27), so a lot hinges on where he is at then," he added.
"But we have a full expectation he will be ready to play. I think Rafa doesn't walk into anything unprepared. I think he's been playing for a while," he said.
Nadal's presence at a grand slam event for the first time since Wimbledon would round out the field as the strongest seen at Melbourne Park. (ANI)

It should be obvious that we love getting our style inspiration from the hottest celebs and today is no different! We love seeing what luxury designer swimwear and sexy beachwear the stars are sporting, but we also can't get enough of their (sometimes) fully clothed style choices. Whether they are on the red carpet, out running errands, or relaxing on the beach these celebs are constantly in the fashion spotlight and are always looking their best while rocking the latest trends. Some of our favorite celebrity trends are sure to show up in the new collection, so here are just a couple of our picks that will go perfectly with you favorite sexy beachwear looks.
The high-low skirt trend started off slow and then BAM, it was here! Now that this trend has reached celebrity territory there is not stopping it, and why would you want to?

Moore fires 61 in Las Vegas
Las Vegas, NV – Ryan Moore fired a course-record tying, 10- under 61 to grab a 1-shot lead after Thursday's opening round of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
Moore's 61 at TPC at Summerlin matched the record that U.S. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III set in 2001 and was later matched by Tag Ridings and Hunter Haas.
"I had no idea that was the course record, so that's nice," Moore said.
Brendon de Jonge, the tour leader in birdies, carded nine more en route to a 9-under 62. He is alone in second place.
Tim Herron and John Huh shared third place at minus-eight. Justin Leonard carded a 7-under 64 and was joined in fifth place by Chris Kirk and Jonas Blixt.
Moore got going with a 12-foot birdie putt on the 11th. He followed with birdies on 12 and 13, both from inside eight feet.
The 2009 Wyndham Championship winner drove the green at the short par-4 15th and rolled in his 10-footer for eagle to jump to minus-5.
Moore stuffed his third to the par-5 16th within three feet. After kicking that in for birdie, he poured in a 21-foot birdie effort to move to minus-7 through eight holes.
At the 18th, Moore's second shot ricocheted off the stick to 36 feet. From there, he 2-putted for par.
Moore kept rolling with a 6-foot birdie putt on the first. Standing at 8-under par through 10 holes, Moore had a chance to shoot 59.
However, he settled down with three pars in a row from the second. At the par-3 fifth, Moore's tee shot stopped within four feet and he knocked that in for birdie.
Moore birdied the seventh from eight feet out, but missed the green at the par-3 eighth. He chipped to 12 feet and 2-putted for bogey. Moore erased that mistake with a 14-foot birdie putt at the ninth, his last.
"I've just been playing good, solid golf lately. Just kind of keep hitting the ball solid and giving myself opportunities. On a golf course like this, I'm probably more comfortable," stated Moore, who lives nearby and frequently practices at the TPC Summerlin.
"I've played it more this year than any other coming into it. Got off to a great start. Made bogey there on my 17th hole, No. 8 which I wasn't too happy about. It was great to bounce back with a birdie on the 9th hole."
De Jonge flew out of the gate with three straight birdies from the second. After a trio of pars, he ran off three birdies in a 4-hole span from the eighth to climb to 6-under.
The 32-year-old birdied the next two par-5, Nos. 13 and 16 to get within two of the lead. De Jonge closed with a birdie at the last to end one back.
NOTES: Defending champion Kevin Na had five birdies and a pair of bogeys in a round of 3-under 68, which left him tied for 29th...Love was among the 22 players tied with Na at minus-3...Eight of the last 10 winners of this event were first-time winners.

It was established by a number of young Muslims in Europe five years ago.
Since then, it registers people from all over Europe, and even elsewhere, including the US, Canada, Uruguay, and Tanzania, to send them to Karbala for Arbaeen pilgrimage.
While the number of the pilgrims sent to Iraq by the group five years ago was 40, the number rose to 1200 last year.
This year, five to six thousand pilgrims are expected to be dispatched there, including 12 young Christians.
The society's central office is in the city of Arnhem, situated in the eastern part of the Netherlands. It has office in all other European countries.
During the lunar Hijri month of Muharram, members of the society hand out brochures, hold exhibitions and tell people about Imam Hussein (AS) and the Ashura uprising.
They also hold Quranic, religious and cultural programs.
The society says one of its main missions is promoting unity among Muslims and other religious communities using the unique capacities of the Arbaeen.
Arbaeen, in which one of the largest religious gatherings in the world takes place, comes 40 days after Ashura, the martyrdom anniversary of the third Shia Imam, Imam Hussein (AS).
Each year, a huge crowd of Shias from around the world flock to Karbala, where the holy shrine of Imam Hussein (AS) is located, to perform mourning rites.
In the past few years, around 20 million pilgrims from all over the world took part in the mourning ceremonies in Karbala.
This year, Arbaeen falls on Thursday, November 9.

Many people seek out Local Palm Readers with the misconception that a palm reading is an experience to be had once in a lifetime. The flawed notion, for those who believe in such things, is often that the palm is a map of one's destiny, ingrained forever from birth. As a result, Local Palm Readers are often quickly and haphazardly sought at fairs and festivals or in a forgotten shop with a neon sign, never to be seen again. However, palm readings are so much more than that! Instead of conceptualizing a map, instead envision your palm as your GPS. It is not only a map in constant motion as you make your life's decisions, but it also indicates some points of interest, and even the best way to get you there!
Thus, it behooves you to invest in establishing life-long relationships with reputable, Local Palm Readers, rather than one who entertains you briefly and then disappears from your life with some of your wasted money! Finding your personal palm reader can be trickier than finding other spiritual consultants. Palmistry does not lend itself to distance work, so you'll have to begin by making a list of your Local Palm Readers that are near enough to you that you can travel to them without breaking the bank and quickly when you have an immediate concern that may need to be addressed.
The next step is to give your Local Palm Readers a call or an e-mail and ask some pointed questions that are pertinent to you. If you feel comfortable sharing the issue that brings you to your Local Palm Readers, do so, and ask if they can help you with such an issue. Ask about what beliefs and traditions inform their work. From Chinese Palmistry to Romani teachings, there are many forms of palmistry, and some Local Palm Readers may not mesh with your belief system. Likewise, let them know if there are any limitations in your spirituality and religious identity that might conflict with the practices of your Local Palm Readers.
Next, verify any claims of your Local Palm Readers. If they claim specialized training, certifications or memberships to organization, ask if you can see the documentation. If they make guarantees to accuracy, ask for evidence. Finally, it is essential to ask your Local Palm Readers for references. Legitimate Local Palm Readers will not be offended by this process, as it is par for the course. Do not ask your Local Palm Readers to prove themselves by demonstration, as this is a rude way to begin a professional relationship. Instead, take the references and do your own leg-work, contacting them directly if desired to verify their veracity.
With all of these procedures in place, you should easily be able to narrow your list of Local Palm Readers down to one that is the right fit for you. Once you have found your personal palmist. Make sure to secure regular appointments in advance, as reputable individuals may be busy.

With a grandfather and father who both worked as teachers, Maria Donohue was destined to become an educator. At 10-years-old, she set up an easel chalkboard in her parents' garage, assumed the role of teacher, and "taught" her younger sister the lessons she learned that day while at school. She loved helping her father grade papers and would often tag along with him to work for teacher work days, hanging out in his classroom.
Today, it is no surprise that the Barry University alumna has not only experienced a successful career in education but also continues to remain passionate about teaching.
"Growing up with my father who was a teacher, I knew I wanted to help others," said Donohue, who graduated from Barry in 2006 with a bachelor's degree in biology. "If you are doing something you love, you will never dread going to work, because it won't be work at all."
In 2012, Donohue was named Hialeah Gardens Senior High School Teacher of the Year and North Region Miami-Dade County Teacher of the Year. After being awarded Teacher of the Year for her region, Donohue was named one of five finalists, out of 23,000 teachers in the district, for the 2014 Francisco R. Walker Miami-Dade County Teacher of the Year.
"I was surprised and so honored," Donohue said. "As a teacher, you go into school every day with only one thing in mind — making sure you give an engaging and unforgettable performance, so that your students leave your classroom learning something new that will help them succeed. To be recognized for doing something you do every day and never think twice about is awesome."
This fall, Donohue will begin her seventh year of teaching at Hialeah Gardens Senior High School. In addition to serving as the lead biology teacher, Donohue also teaches forensic science.
As a biology pre-medical major and chemistry minor at Barry, Donohue had the opportunity to blend her passion for teaching with her interest in science and medicine by working closely with students and faculty as both a research assistant and teacher's assistant.
"I loved working with students, helping others, and creatively developing and implementing programs and activities year round, " Donohue said. "By the time I graduated, I knew that I would be helping others but not as a doctor, but rather as a teacher."
Donohue was also a student in Barry's Honors Program – an experience she said increased her knowledge about diversity and social issues through the variety of humanity and sociology courses that the program offers. In addition, Donohue worked as a resident assistant for Barry's Department of Housing and Residence Life, which prepared her for a career in education by allowing her to work with a diverse group of students and resident assistants while also perfecting the art of planning programs and activities, she said.
After graduating from Barry, Donohue was hired as a part-time faculty member by Barry's College of Arts and Sciences to teach two zoology labs. The job provided her with valuable experience in teaching and classroom management that helped her to succeed during her first year as a high school biology and chemistry teacher, she said.
In addition to teaching at Hialeah Gardens Senior High School, Donohue is completing a master's degree in educational leadership at the American College of Education. As an educator, she realizes the importance of having quality teachers in classrooms, and she is determined to positively impact teachers and students both in and out of the classroom, she said.
Donohue's father, who was also a science high school teacher and is now principal of Miami Beach Senior High School, inspires her to do exactly that.
"I have seen how he has impacted so many lives—teachers and students—and I want to be able to do the same," she said. "With what I have learned at Barry University and in the last six years as a teacher, I know there is so much more I can do to help improve the field of education."

Milford High School's girls swim team outpaced Lake Forest last week, while the Spartans edged out the boys team during both schools' second meet of the season.
Milford High School's girls swim team outpaced Lake Forest last week, while the Spartans edged out the boys team during both schools' second meet of the season.
The Lady Bucs won their head-to-head meet at the Milford Boys & Girls Club on Thursday by a score of 121-49.
The Milford boys, meanwhile, finished with 83 points to the Spartans' 87.
Michele McKenzie, the head coach of both teams, said she was pleased by the effort of both her squads, regardless of the final score.
"We're looking really great," she said. "We have a lot of sick kids, but they came out and stepped up in some of the longest events. And the boys held their own. They didn't end up victorious, but it was close and we had a lot of great finishes."
The girls dominated Lake Forest, taking first place in nine of the meet's 11 events and second place in another nine events, including the two they didn't win outright.
Juniors Osi Chilton and Alison Sanders, along with freshman Sara Lingo, led the way each collecting a pair of first place finishes in individual events.
Chilton won the 200-meter freestyle at 2:16.88 and the 100-meter backstroke at 1:10.29.
Sanders took the 50-meter freestyle at 29.13 and the 100-meter freestyle at 1:05.19.
Lingo cleaned up in the 500-meter freestyle at 5:47.24, a full minute and 12 seconds ahead second-place finisher and senior teammate Peyton Shockley. Lingo also won the 100-meter breaststroke at 1:18.8.
Senior Samantha Gillespie, sophomore Megan Kirkpatrick and freshman Leigh Ann Rossetti also had strong individual showings, each finishing the meet with a pair of second-place finishes.
In combination with senior Jessica Downes, Chilton, Sanders and Lingo also notched relay wins in the 200-meter medley at 2:09.45 and the 200-meter freestyle at 1:55.09.
Meanwhile, the team of Rossetti, Kirkpatrick, Shockley and sophomore Corrine Bogan won first in the 400 freestyle relay at 4:35.60.
The boys won first place in five events and second in the other six.
Senior Philip Berry took the 200-meter individual medley at 2:36.47. Senior James Hagen won the 50-meter freestyle at 24.01 and junior Robert Clendaniel edged out a win in the 100-meter breaststroke at 1:20.25, just 0.07 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher from Lake Forest.
Senior Trevor Maloney finished second in the 200-meter freestyle and the 500-meter freestyle at 2:22.84 and 6:49.3 respectively. Other second-place finishers included Senior Philip Berry in the 100-meter butterfly, senior Dennis Kalaygian in the 100-meter freestyle and senior Clay Shirey in the 100-meter backstroke.
The girls' squad is now 2-0, having defeated Caravel Academy 103-67 in Milford on Dec. 4. The boys have split their meets with a dominating 112-46 victory over Caravel at the same event.
With three Bus having already qualified for states, McKenzie said the teams are setting their expectations high this year. Hagen has qualified in the 50-meter freestyle and 100-meter freestyle, while Chilton has qualified in the 100-meter backstroke and Lingo has qualified in both the 500-meter freestyle and the 100-meter breaststroke.
"Not to be lofty, but I'd really like one of the top spots for the girls at the conference tournament this year," McKenzie said. "I'd also like to see more guys qualify for states. We have some that are very close now."
The Bucs will face their first road challenge on Thursday when they take on Indian River at the Howard Ennis School at 4 p.m.

Y'know, looking back into previous episodes, it started to become apparent to me why Kirito saw a bit of Suguha in Silica. Like that time Suguha walked out of her room without pants on, which is a lot like how Silica nearly answered the door for Kirito clad in only her underwear.

Character Analysis go!
I didn't care for Suguha much when I first read the novels, but watching the anime has really changed my perspective, especially when I realized something about her, that at least I find interesting.
Namely, the idea that she basically thinks she's the protagonist of a different story. Not consciously genre savvy mind you, just subconsciously through her actions.
As she's coming to terms with the fact that her forbidden love for her brother will never be requited, she stumbles into such a typical love story. She meets a mysterious, badass stranger with a good heart but a dark secret hidden in his past.
As a more typical story would go, they fight together, and grow close, but something is holding the strange boy back, driving him forward but keeping a wall between them. Until finally when he's at his lowest point, she's there to comfort him and keep him going, and he finally feels safe again and can open up his heart and share whats bothering him.
Or something like that. Suguha even follows this basic idea, trying to confess to Kirito and get him to rely on her instead. He notices though, and shoots her down, which brings everything to a horrible crashing halt, and it turns out Suguha is just a side character in someone else's story.
The other thing I find interesting about her is that her love for Kazuto (And later by proxy Kirito) was really all just based on a fantasy. At some point during the two years of SAO after she found out the cousin thing, the stray thought of "Maybe I'm in love with him", and that idea took root, slowly growing as daydreams and ideas often do when left unchecked.
But when Kazuto returned, she never really tried to get close to him or to understand him. His time in SAO had changed him immensely as a person, but Suguha, perhaps somewhat selfishly, didn't try to see this at all, and was too busy wrapped up in her idea of "forbidden romance" to consider how he might actually feel.
(Incidentally, Kazuto does the same thing, his heart still being stuck in SAO. While he's kind to Suguha, he never really gives her much consideration. This is the realization both of them reach during their Fairy Dance, I believe, and they promise to do better. )
So ultimately, when her romance fantasy was broken, she turned to her other romance fantasy, and that was broken too. Kirito never did a thing to break her heart. Suguha broke it all on her own. It's a heartbreak born of raising ones expectations too high, and the embarrassment at letting yourself be so stupid when it all comes crashing down.
.... Man I should really just got to bed. >_<

Lolli for loli :D
I'm really not fond of her, I found it difficult to sympathize with her because Asuna's situation was ten times worse. I don't like her design (hate it, actually). I don't like how she has so much screentime in ALO. I don't like how she was a fanservice object. And with the way the series portrays her is ridiculous:
"Let's spend 14 episodes setting up how much Kirito and Asuna bond and fall in love, and then bring in this new 'little sister' girl who likes Kirito too while Asuna in a coma while her avatar gets sexual abuse threats from a douche. Poor new girl! Her love is unrequited, isn't that sad?"
......you're kidding, right!?
NO, I don't freaking CARE about her stupid crush, dammit!!
I couldn't care less! Asuna's being tortured daily and you expect me to care about Suguha's feelings?
NO, anime.
That doesn't work. It doesn't.
That being said, I DO love her seiyuu. And I like Lyfa. She acted more mature and level-headed as Lyfa. Lyfa's design is also much more interesting.

Lolli for loli :D
But take that out and you are left with just a boy and a girl who are not siblings but two members of the opposite sex. I can understand this part....but the character was believed to be a sibling, thus treated as one for several years and then to suddenly switch to a romantic interest....yeah, that is a bit jarring...and quite unrealistic.
I don't think that mindset would be so easily switched. In the real world, the girl would be like "....okay....so he's still like my brother." Which is why I've never been that sold on the childhood friend romance thing either. I would KILL for an anime that features a little boy and girl starting off as best friends and STAYING that way without one of them going "omg I'm just realized I want to marry you!" .

Kirigaya Suguha
* The girl that has a nice as*.
> Seriously, a girl who longs for a brother's or rather lover's love. She cared so much for his "onii-chan" not knowing that during her days of longing was spent by Kirito with his lover Asuna whom Suguha doesn't know existed. Now realizing her love can't be reciprocated, she continued to hide her feelings inside a world she believes will divert her from her grief. Destiny was so playful, for the one she meetsand learn to love Kirito-kun was the same person she calls onii-chan... What a tragity for her heart, but she must accept the fact that its better to have an oniichan to clinging to than nothing at all....

I felt sorry for her. From the moment we see her in ALO we knew there was no way she would win Kirito's heart. Like everyone said, Asuna's plight was much worse. After getting over her feelings she still helped her brother out and didn't really get anything in return. If you compare her to Liz or that dragon girl, she helped him the most. Seeing her sit alone in Agil's bar showed just how much of a raw deal she got.
I generally don't get brother-sister complexes, but I guess the fact that they used to be close, then suddenly distant, then comatose, sibling then coisins and then close again can be confusing and easily interpreted as love. Kirito also did some things that were very unbrotherly that certeinly had me thinking he was interested. Poor girl, I hope she gets some kind of love interest that can even come close to competing with her heroic brother.

It felt weird at first, having her essentially swap places with Asuna as the female lead in the series. Her voice actress did a great job and I liked her character designs - both "offline" and in ALO (although I agree with Chiibi about the fanservice - I didn't really like how there was so much fanservice around her, nor how the amount of fanservice in the series skyrocketed around that point either). You can see what's coming her way from practically the first episode where she features prominently, but it was still enjoyable to watch in that heart-wrenching sort of way. I felt terrible for her, even more so because there was nothing that could be done to ease her pain.
All around a good character. I was hoping for a happier ending for her, but was still pleased with how she turned out.

I felt bad about Suguha from the moment we met her. You knew it wasn't going to go well for her and it was just a question of how painful things were going to get.
Still wish they had found a different way to use her character than a hopeless love interest. Still think even being alone for a while is better than what they could have done in setting her up with that sidekick of hers.
Hopefully if she plays a role in the coming season that things go a bit better for her.

I mean, i dont know if its cool in japan, but cousins here don't bump uglies. Well, except for this kid in my school that we called cousinfu**** because he actually screwed his cousin, found out it was his cousin, and then did it again, but anyways,

My understanding is that there are people in Japan who are opposed to first cousin marriages because of health concerns, but that in general first cousin marriages are far more socially acceptable in Japan then they are in North America though they are no longer commonplace like they were in the first half of the 20th Century (in fact they are quite rare nowadays).
