When it comes to taking naked pictures, the general consensus — among friends, family, and even our local sex advice columnist — is that you MUST. NOT. DO IT. In the wake of celebrity sex tapes and teenage sexting scandals, the very existence of nude photos makes mortification for their subject seem like a foregone conclusion. And if you tell someone you're thinking of taking your clothes off in the vicinity of a camera, they'll probably respond by telling you all the reasons should never, ever be naked on film.
"Nooooo! Someone might put it on the internet, and you'll end up like Vanessa Hudgens!"
"Nooooo! Your boss/dentist/mother-in-law could see it!"
"Nooooo! Your vagina will get REALLY COLD!"
What they don't tell you? That posing nude isn't necessarily risky… but it is exhilarating, exciting, and something every woman should do at least once before she turns 30.
Yes, even you. (No, your vagina will not get cold.)
As an artist's and photographer's model, I've spent substantial portions of my early-to-mid twenties standing around in front of strangers with no clothes on. And while it might be initially nerve-wracking, it's also one of the most interesting and worthwhile experiences I've ever had — so worthwhile that I firmly believe it belongs on the bucket list for any young woman, no matter what her shape, size, or level of confidence with her own naked body. Why should you take a photo or two in your birthday suit?
- Your body is beautiful. Really, it is. And it doesn't matter whether you're plump or slender, reedy or Rubenesque; your whole self — top to toe — deserves its day in the spotlight. Women put in huge amounts of effort each day just to meet society's standard of beauty, only to get bogged down by stress and insecurity over failing to fit within that narrowly-defined (and often unhealthy) ideal. Stripping down and showing it off is a celebratory, powerful, even subversive act — and it's exhilarating. And when you see those photos in the days, months and years that follow, it'll be with a lasting appreciation for your body as the glorious, gorgeous machine it is.
- It's a confidence boost. Between diet culture, celebrity obsession, and the airbrushed images that we see every day on billboards and in magazines, women have developed an utterly warped idea of what a healthy body looks like. And the effects go way beyond simply disliking what we see in the mirror; at this point, many women are battling body dysmorphia and/or too afraid to even look at themselves naked. Seeing your own body given just a fraction of the star treatment — with makeup, lighting, and a skilled photographer to help you pose — is a powerful way to fight back against that fear and insecurity. Basically, you are so much hotter than you think you are.
- It's totally vain… and completely awesome. When it comes to balancing your busy life, you're always being told to take care, take time out, and take one day a week to do something nice for yourself. Well, go big or go home, lady. Your "just for me" weekly manicure only lasts as long as it takes your nail polish to chip, but a private album of drawings or photos that show you at your prime — young, healthy, and before childbirth, gravity, and the vagaries of time have taken their toll — is a memory you'll have forever. (Not to mention a great conversation-starter when someone pulls it off your bookshelf in 2072 and says, "Grandma! Was that YOU?")
So, are you ready to get naked? You've got options, but they're not all good. Unless you're the edgy type, avoid amateur photographers with seedy apartment "studios" and no portfolio to speak of; chances are, they're just looking for spank material. And even if your boyfriend is a totally trustworthy dude who would never, ever blackmail you with your sexy shots post-breakup, he may lack the photographic skills to do your naked body justice. (And while an unflattering photo is never pleasant, an unflattering naked photo is a special kind of hell.) Instead, plan to drop a little cash and consider the following:
- Boudoir photography. If you want to look gorgeous and play coy, hire a professional boudoir photog to snap some sexy, low-lit photos of you in your favorite lingerie… or less. (Check with your individual photographer to see how he or she feels about topless shots, straight-up nudity, or tasteful draping.)
- Go retro. Love the look of old-school pin-up shots like Marilyn Monroe's famous series with Bert Stern? Photogs specializing in vintage-inspired photoshoots have begun cropping up all over the country; if you're nervous about taking it all off, some studios also offer costumes and wigs to get you into character.
- Sexiness optional. Naked photos don't have to be porn-y; if looking lascivious isn't your thing, skip the sex factor and work with a fine art photographer to shoot some artistic, black-and-white nudes that explore your body's form in a non-erotic way.
- Put it on paper. Taking nude photos absolutely isn't the recipe for disaster that people make it out to be — you retain the rights to pictures you've paid for, but even if you didn't, a naked body isn't a moral evil in and of itself. (Meaning that if someone sees them, it's not like your life is over. Just ask Carla Bruni!) But if you simply can't stomach the thought of actual photographic evidence that, at one time, you did not have clothes on, consider posing for a figure drawing or painting class. The in-practice terror factor is substantially greater — instead of one photographer seeing you nude, it's a dozen aspiring artists and an instructor — but the sketch that one of your new artist friends gifts to you at the end of class will forever be a cool and unique souvenir of your brass-balled bravery.
Now take your pants off, and say cheese.

Where to begin after two and half weeks in Italy to celebrate my fathers 60th Birthday… I feel there is so much to say, yet sometimes a picture can paint a thousand words. With this in mind, I thought I would relive the key elements of the past couple of weeks with you through my pictures of Milan, Lake Como (Bellagio), Santa Margherita and Rome. I have split the images into 4 categories: architecture and design, natural beauty, amazing food, and family. Hopefully after viewing all the photos you will almost feel like you were here with me! Here goes.. 1. Italian architecture and design…wow! Milan city centre Details on the walls of buildings Inside the foyer of the famous opera theatre in Milan Beautiful villas in lake como with my sister Outside one of the gorgeous villas in Bellagio Inside a villa in Santa Margherita, the details were unheard of! One of the bedrooms inside the villa in Santa Margherita- very old world grand There were lots of pictures resembling children and love through out the villa in Santa Margherita Detail in the artwork on the bed head was something else! Rome architecture Rome architecture Rome architecture Rome architecture Rome architecture 2. Italian natural beauty… Bellagio, Italy (View from my hotel room) Bellagio, Italy (View from my hotel room) View from one of the villas in Italy View from the Island that my family went to for my fathers birthday lunch Chinque terre, Italy Chinque terre, Italy Santa Margherita, Italy Santa Margherita, Italy 3. The food..oh all the AMAZING food 🙂 Italian gelato Italian cakes…never ending!

Antipasto- think there is enough? Amazing salads in Milan Prawns in Santa Margherita, Italy (when living in a fisherman village, you eat like a local) I have eaten more delicious fish in the past 2 weeks than ever in my life! omega 3- hello! 4. Last, but not least, the people (my family)… Milan central with mum and dad Family dinner in Milan Sister enjoying the Italian food!

Award winning chef who made us a great last meal in lake como Girls walking around the villa gardens in Bellagio Sister and I out for Friday night dinner Dad and I out at a traditional Italian Trattoria All in all I clearly didn't rough it for the past 2 weeks…(mum wasn't going to allow that for me apparently!) I will be sure to post again with my dietary finds for this country for those more health enthusiasts reading this blog. On a side note, I just want to thank everyone who clicks in to read my posts, comments on my Facebook page, or follows me on twitter. For someone who is not so self promoting, it is really nice to know that there are others out there enjoying the light entertainment that I have to offer, and can share in this journey of mine so that I don't have to go at it alone. One thing I have definitely learnt this year is that no matter where you are in the world or who you are with, you never have to feel alone, and as long as you ask, there is always someone willing to help or offer you support. As of Wednesday I am off to Finland for a week…random…and exciting! I can't wait to see what goes on in that part of the world and what foodie finds I will discover!

Dana chadick's Profile
I opened in 2009 when I was smitten with quilting fabric designers like Anna Maria Horner, Amy Butler, and Heather Ross, and Heather Bailey. I had a great run and loved the people I got to meet in the business. Since then,I've closed shop, I've moved house, and I got my practicing license back under my belt so that I'm ready to return to my professional field.
I am opening once again, just to clear out my fabric closet. It may be left over inventory, or my own personal stash, or both...inventory I was so attached to I thought I needed bolts of it.... it happens :)
Because, when I have people over, I have to forewarn them before they open the wrong door--- but I always add: I'm a collector!! not a hoarder!
aren't we all?

The indisputable fact that more than one person has taken the time to evaluate website hosting choices should let you recognize that there's a lot to compare from one host to the next. Thanks to a powerful website builder and a straightforward-to-use interface – the Funio Hub – webhosting has never been really easy! Relatively cheap shared hosting will be sufficient for most bloggers, but if you happen to plan on being vastly standard, a VPS or perhaps a devoted server might be mandatory. BlueHost ( opens in new window) could be described as the most well-liked American hosting in Russia. There are many hosts and area registrars to choose from, with a variety of prices and options.

A business checking account is a wholly separate thing from a regular checking or savings account.
Every single one of the 15,000 internet hosting corporations we came across (actually!) might help you do this, but one of the best hosting companies even have excellent buyer support, an intuitive and simple-to-use again finish, and a status for reliability. It's such as you lease out the entire internet server, split the whole area into totally different portions and lease them out to the group. People not solely have loads of choice, nonetheless they could additionally nonetheless discover it with a aggressive and reasonably priced price for his or her business. When selecting a web host, decide an organization that is positioned within your area of interest's country.
We evaluated which tools are available within the primary shared hosting plans, taking into account options like simple electronic mail creation, a disk usage meter and access to create cron jobs. As one of many web's largest retailers, Amazon's case is likely to be considerably distinctive, but it illustrates a core truth about enterprise and website hosting specifically: Time is money.…Read More

A CHEF assaulted four people in a chicken takeaway.
Ralph Dukes, who works in the off-shore industry, attacked the group of three friends and a stranger in King Chicken, near Park Lane in Sunderland city centre.
The 58-year-old dad lost his temper after a row broke out between people in the takeaway and his son.
Sunderland Magistrates' Court heard how he punched an unknown man, who was in the shop with his girlfriend, after he intervened in the disagreement, which took place at about 11.30pm on Tuesday, June 19.
Prosecutor Paul Doney said: "The defendant involved himself by saying 'If you talk to my son again like that, I will lash all three of you'.
"The unknown male at the counter said: 'There is no need for that, they are girls'."
Jukes confronted the man and despite his victim saying he did not want to fight, the defendant lunged at him and punched him in the face.
Jukes, of Ravenscourt Road, Red House, then headbutted Kieran Hughes and assaulted two girls who were with him.
He pleaded guilty to four charges of assault, but told JPs he could not remember hitting the women – Louise Frazer and Alex Thompson.
Mr Doney added: "He was throwing his hands and fists about.
"As a result police attended the scene and the defendant said: 'I will be honest with you officer, I headbutted him'.
"During the interview he admitted punching an unknown male and headbutting Mr Hughes when he became involved."
A statement from Miss Thompson was read out to the court, where she said she was now afraid of going out and had suffered bad dreams.
Mitigating, Jason Smith said his client accepted his reaction was "over and above what was acceptable in the circumstances".
He added: "He accepts that he lost his temper in defence of his son and to an extent the incident should not have manifested itself in the way that it did.
"He does not recall at any time touching either of the females at all."
Magistrates fined Jukes £880 and ordered he paid £85 towards court costs and £450 in compensation, to be split between his three named victims.

flower power calm down i think you have issues and thank you for pointing out it was a tv show thats news to me i personally thought it was CNN that i have been watching since '05. i want guillermo back he was the badass the gave the show life.
Watch Weeds Season 5
Watch Weeds Season 5
If your looking to catch on on episodes of Weeds, I recommend checking out Netflix. Netflix has all of the previous seasons of Weeds available to watch instantly online, and also on DVD. Netflix is currently offering a 2 week free trial. New episodes of Weeds appear on Netflix the day after they air on showtime.
The audience for Weeds has been growing since its debut in 2005, and this popular comedy has received numerous Emmy nominations. Furthermore, Weeds broke a record for ShowTime during season 4 when 1.35 million viewers tuned in. With that said, it shouldn't be a surprise to learn that the premiere of Weeds Season 5 should air on ShowTime sometime in June or July of 2009. Not only can we expect 13 more episodes for Weeds Season 5, but sources have said that ShowTime has planned another 13 episodes for a Weeds Season 6.
In Weeds Season 4, it looked as if Andy had feelings for Nancy, so the question now is if he'll reveal those feelings in Weeds Season 5. And if Andy does tell Nancy how he feels, will she pursue a relationship with him or continue her new relationship with Esteban (Demián Bichir)?
Many of us Weeds fans noticed a few things in Weeds Season 4 that made us wonder if Nancy may be pregnant. Do you think she's pregnant? Well, all I can say about that rumor is we'll have to tune in to Weeds Season 5 to find out. Moreover, if season 5 reveals that Nancy is pregnant, I wonder who the baby's daddy will be, and how will the pregnancy affect Nancy's drug-dealing life. Whether Nancy's pregnant or not, I also wonder if she will continue to sell drugs in Weeds Season 5 or move on to bigger, better and less dangerous things? I guess we'll just have to tune in to the Weeds Season 5 premiere on ShowTime in 2009 for the answers.
I tell ya, Weeds Season 4 ended with a great cliffhanger that has left me waiting with much anticipation for Weeds Season 5! What about you, are you ready to discover what's in store for the Botwin family in season 5?
Update: Because of the massive amount of predictions in the comments below I've created an official Weeds Season 5 Predictions thread in our forum. Join and share your thoughts and predictions for Weeds Season 5!
Topics: General, Weeds | 123 Comments »
I think she is pregnant. I doubt Nancy Botwin of all people has photos of her old ultrasounds from over 10-15 years ago. She is one the most scattered characters in the history of TV. Also, there was a lot mystery surrounding that episode: the phone message Nancy listened to that we didn't get to hear. Also, that could very easily be what she was telling Andy in the bathtub, that we also didn't get to hear….. But knowing 'Weeds' it could be anything. I can't wait for season 5.
theres a reason the shaman said that he couldn't give her the peyote. he knew her eggo was preggo.
If Nacy is pregnant with Esteban's baby that would F-Up the show. That woud mess up the Nacy and Conrad weird relationship thing. If they don't bring conrad back the show will suck. If they bring him back and Nacy has Esteban's baby the show would suck. Either way it would not work.
If i was writing this story and Nancy is pregnant i would make it Conrad's baby. You could do a lot with the show with that outcome. Plus Conrad would be back.
get a life u sad bastards good show though
When season 4 ended the only thing I could do was drop my jaw!
The sonogram thing definately got me. I never suspected nancy being pregnant at all. =/
Its sooooo good I can't even begin to predict what will happen next season. but let me try….
– Nancy ends up miscarrying the baby & has no choice but to go into witness protection program.
– Doug isn't dead. the jerk thing was funny. =]
– Andys dad comes back from where he took off to (with all of nancys money) & brings more family.
– Silas (love the name) he is just a dull in the background kinda guy I think in season 5.
– Gulliermo goes to jail & is out of this season i'm sure.
– The DEA agent… hmmmm… I dunno i know that my predictions are anywhere near what the season 5 will be………
All I do know is season 5 can't come soon enough!!!!!
Nancy is pregnant.
Good possibility it is Conrad's. They never give a good reference to time spent in Ren Mar….it could be just 6-8 weeks. This will make it easy to bring Conrad back on the show (a fan favorite).
If it is Esteban's there will be a miscarriage.
Esteban will be dead by the end of season 5.
DEA agent will likely have something to do with Esteban's death.
Guillermo is off the show forever.
Nancy will continue to deal weed in some capacity…most likely with Conrad and crew.
Doug is obviously not dead and will continue to annoy everyone until the show ends.
A return to Majestic will happen.
Celia will somehow get out of the jam with her daughter and be a main character until the show ends.
shane's my hero i wish i could find some nude pics and jerk off to my mom:p
i just like to smook weeds and whatce weeds 🙂
When doug was stating that Celia hadn't seen her daughter for two years, I don't believe she was talking about Isabel. I think she was referring to Quinn, who she sent to reform school in season 1.
[…] TV Guru has a list of places to watch weeds season 5 online, this is especially useful if you don't have Showtime but still watch to catch the latest […]
Everyone is just looking for clues and misstakes in the whole serie, if you just all would just relax and sit back it is a lot better. Just take it as it comes allong.
And if you realy realy want to find misstakes…
Just look at the mother plant of Conrad, the one from which he cuts all the seedlings. That plant is in bloom !!! Rule 1 in growing is that the motherplant cannot be in bloom.
The rest of the technical stuff is pretty good done, except for the big cross above the plants ofcourse, giving the plants light in the dark hours. but that was only for a little while, then the place burned down….
nancy had that mamogram done by peters ex wife. is tere not some possibility that she took the boob picture and told estaban it was an ultrasound? cuz that would be clever.
Yo. When Dean says Celia hasn't seen her other daughter from season 1 that Silas was with and Celia sent to Mexico bc they were screwing. I think Nancy is pregnant. Too many signs. I think Shane might get in trouble. It would bring more problems in the show (its full of obstacles). I think their is a possibility it could be Conrads, but most likely Esteban"s. It must be a good season if they are already planning season 6 (alledgedly).
The sonogram didn't say 08, it's an "OB" as in obstetrics – my sonograms have the same marking, and yes they usually do have a date on them
However I think she is pregnant because she was having migranes, feeling sick, etc. When she got home with the bubble bath after silas left the bathroom she looked into the pharmacy bag with a kinda stressed expression (pregnancy test?).
And we don't know how much time has actually passed this season.
Some of the people (flower power for example)that are making rude comments need to realize that we are all just fans and love the show. If you feel the need to critisize and be an ass, then don't bother reading any of this and go find something better to do with your time. This is all for fun. Weeds is a great show and entertaining. We all have a right to state our opinions and thoughts about it. Who cares if people are excited about a tv show! So what, let us be. Is it honestly bothering certain people that much??? One last thing to the haters- go Fuck Yourself.
First of all, Weeds is my favourite show of all time… and I think whoever makes this series into a book will be very Very wealthy.
I think Silas and Andy will go into business together in Mexico and shane will be the king pin where they are now, (Hence him selling in the skatepark)
Im totally confused as to whether or not Nancy is pregnant or not, but what a cliffhanger … however, my mom did ask if she was preganant as this was going on before the big end.
I dont know how the Estaban (sp?) is going to work out if she is pregnant, because Silas and Shane dont like Authority as we have found out from Peter…
Another thought if Silas did go into mexico and Nancy and Esteban stayed together, Silas could become the king Pin and supply Esteban.
It was quite obvious that doug didnt hand himself, it was an auto-asphixiation.
I hope Quin and Silas do re-unite in the last episode. And that that Celia queen goes for good… she does nothing but drag the show down in my oppinion.
I do hope that Conrad and Helia come back because he awesome and she is freakin hilarious.
o man o man o man, I'll stop now. im gettin so carried away and going through weeds withdrawl… there should almost be a rehab for it! lol
Flower Power needs a slap tbh.
i really like weeds i used to be a pothead myself but recently i quit so in epic boredom i downloaded all the seasons of weeds watched them all in one day and loved it just wish i could do some weed oh well for the mean time my weed will be weeds cant wait for season 5 just downlaoded it hope nancy isnt pregnant damn is she fine would be a tragic idea on the writers behalf i hate kids. ps: loved when doug wrote the suicide letter just like brookes in the shawshank redemption word for word just said differently. lol weird way to jack off if you tell me.
i loved that song that they played on the season premiere during the flashmob. I found out that it's Michael Franti and Spearhead. i think the song is called "Say Hey(i love you). sooo good!
Finally a show that isnt stopped by stupid cencoring and family HBO bullshit. Shane was so gangster when he slammed that croquet mallet into that bitch's head damn she needed to be killed off about DAMN time….
P.S Weeds kicks ass!!!!
weeds just keeps getting better. Mary is so smoking hot. I have met here in person and she is even hotter in person.. Her eyes are so incredible. I got hard just talking to her. Keep up the great show..

The Architectural League Prize 2015
Clark Thenhaus
Clark Thenhaus tests form-making strategies by combining or recontextualizing standard geometries to produce unfamiliar or original forms. His practice, Endemic, has lately focused on spheres, cones, and cylinders as part of a "broad survey of contemporary formalism."
His Authenticity installation uses the form of the dome to investigate features of the pastoral landscape, particularly abandoned Cold War-era missile silos. Thenhaus's four dome models, each executed in a different material and sitting atop a different "hill," play with the surrealism of "reconciling political histories in landscape" by siting each in one of four possible "middles" of America. Disentangling these forms from their defense connotations repositions them as architectural problems and engages questions about "tropes of representation."
Clark Thenhaus was a 2014 MacDowell Art Colony Fellow and was named the 2013–2014 Willard A. Oberdick Fellow at the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. He is now Visiting Faculty at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. He received a B.Envd from the University of Colorado at Boulder and an M.Arch from the University of Pennsylvania.
The Architectural League Prize, established in 1981, recognizes exemplary and provocative work by young practitioners and provides a public forum for the exchange of their ideas.

story by Catharine Lo
photos by David Liittshwager
Just north of the notorious, heaving shore break at Sandy Beach, piles of strewn lava rock create a jagged coastline that buffers the raging surf. The waves wash gently into the spaces between the rocks, creating knee-deep pools where marine life thrives. Its a drizzly New Years as I crouch at the edge of a tidepool with expert Chela Zabin. We sit still, watching for movement. I delight in the fact that the task requires no skill other than simply to be present. The rule of discovery at tidepools is: The longer you look, the more youll see.
I poke my finger into the water, rudely disrupting a hermit crabs afternoon nap. Small camouflaged fish whiz by. Every few moments, a tiny black snail crawls another millimeter. I begin to see colorscolonies of green zoanthids and moldy tufts of red algae.
Some of your little kid comes out when you turn a rock over, Zabin says as she does just that and finds a cluster of pink tunicates. She puts the rock back in place and picks up a giant, white-spotted sea cucumber. Placing it upside down in her palm, she touches the underbelly. Sticky, gelatinous tendrils cling to her index finger. Those, apparently, are its feet. This particular brown echinoderm, Actinopyga mauritiana, or loli in Hawaiian, has an anus - through which it breatheswith five inward-pointing teeth to keep out the pearlfish that like to play house in its intestines.
Some shoot their guts out, Zabin says, describing the violent expulsion of the digestive tract (auto-evisceration, its called) that occurs when some sea cucumbers get stressed. Considering the ejaculatory behavior of this organism, its not surprising that many cultures regard it as an aphrodisiac. An expression used in Hawaiian love sorcery goes, He loli ka ia, iloli ke aloha. When loli is the offering, passionate is the love.
Before I learned anything about them, Id always found these sand-covered sausages to be absolutely repulsive. I still think theyre disgusting, but now Im intrigued. They and the hundreds of other invertebrates, fishes and plants in these little pools along Oahus wind-battered Kaiwi coast are wholly foreign to me. They inhabit an intricate world along Hawaiis coastlines called the intertidal zonethe area between low and high tidea habitat that is largely overlooked in favor of the more glamorous coral reefs.
Intertidal habitats take multiple forms: tidepools, splash pools, limestone reef flats, rocky shoreline and lava rock basins. Hawaiis most beautiful sites feature expansive pools that reflect the sky and tame the seaplaces like Sharks Cove on Oahus North Shore and Waiopae Pools on the Big Island. Theyre especially inviting because you can reach them on foot; some pools are even deep enough for snorkeling.
The creatures that live in these liminal worlds are bizarre, stranger than anything youd find in Star Trek, Zabin says. Theyre like aliens. Take pioeoe, for example, a barnacle that lives with its head attached to a rock and feeds with its feet. Or the tunicatesadvanced, filter- feeding animals that like humans have a beating heart, but unlike humans, reverse their blood flow every fifty beats or so. The zoanthids that resemble fat, soggy Cheerios immediately succeed the loli as the most revolting creatures of the sea. A reddish zoanthid called limu-make produces a lethal poison that warriors in Hana, Maui, once smeared on their spear tips. Ironically, this poison, palytoxin, also possesses anti-carcinogenic properties.
We might not think of these bizarre bags of jelly as animals, but according to John Hoover, the author of Hawaiis Fishes and the tidepool enthusiasts bible, Hawaiis Sea Creatures: A Guide to Hawaiis Marine Invertebrates, more than 90 percent of intertidal organisms are invertebrates, not plants, and theyre as different from each other as they are from humans. They have adapted uniquely to their difficult habitat. They endure dramatic changes in salinity and temperature daily. They get scorched in the sun and pummeled by the waves. Whenever the tide rises, their predators move in.
Because of these extreme living conditions, intertidal animalssome of the most elaborately designed organisms on earthtake exotic forms and possess remarkable powers. The helmet urchin fuses its spines together to form protective plates when the water level drops. The Hawaiian pom-pom crab wields stinging anemones in its claws. The cartoonish bullethead rockskipper runs along tidepool bottoms using its fins like legs. At low tide it will jump safely from pool to pool.
By the end of my exploration of the pools along Sandy Beach, I come to agree with what the distinguished Bishop Museum zoologist Charles Edmondson wrote in his 1949 book Hawaiis Seashore Treasures: The seashore offers storehouses of treasures that may be opened to keen and observing eyes. My New Years resolution is to keep mine open.

Hulk vs. Superman – A Fight Between Ultimate Strength Titans
Hulk vs. Superman has been an intriguing battle between comic book titans for decades. Why them, in particular? Well because of their often egregious feats of that most obvious and decisive superpower – pure, unadulterated physical strength.
Unless you're a telepath/telekinetic of Professor X or Jean Grey's caliber, you'd better have some degree of superhuman strength if you want to be effective battling bad guys.
Superman is not only DCs flagship superhero (he's kind of like the Michael Jordan of the comic book universe); he may very well be the penultimate superhero in all of comic-dom.
There have been numerous copycats in other universes – from Prime, to Hyperion, Mr. Majestic, Gladiator, the weak-minded but ultra-powerful Sentry, Marvel's Thor and Supreme. There have been quite a few more, but these serve quite nicely as representative of a superhero mold that has withstood the test of time.
The Man of Steel remains, nonetheless, quite unique among this stable of powerhouses. Superman's strength is sometimes lifted as whatever numerical maximum the current author cares to list; but true fans understand that it is essentially incalculable – Clark is as strong as he needs to be and then some.
If nothing else, Superman is the savior, in a sense, and frail primates can depend on his otherworldly Kryptonian frame to see him through to an end that results in saving the doubly wise man.
It is usually either a love/hate relationship that readers have with Superman; either you love him for being the most powerful ally for whom you could ever hope, for being a relentless force for what is good and should be right in the world, or simply for being so damn powerful and giving you hope against even extra-galactic threats.
Or, you hate him precisely for the antithesis of those reasons – for being too powerful, for being too good, etc. If you're a nihilist, then Superman is, in all likelihood, a hero you would rather see beaten to death.
The Incredible Hulk
The Hulk is an absolute strength titan; whereas Superman has an array of god-like powers, Hulk has just the one – well, sort of. Hulk also has a very high degree of durability, endurance and regenerative ability – but one could argue that these are inevitable for something so incredibly strong.
After all, what good is the ability to throw skyscrapers at someone if you could be knocked out by a well-placed rock? Can't very well engage a crew of supervillains if you tire like a human, now can you?
What sets the Hulk apart from other extremely strong metahumans is that his strength is tied to his emotional state. The angrier he gets, the stronger he becomes, so to increase your chances…no "yo mama" jokes while fighting him.
This sets up a Superman vs Hulk battle quite nicely; on the surface, it might seem that Superman takes this, because he's also invulnerable, absurdly durable, hyper-strong, has an elite level of superspeed even amongst fast superheroes, and an impressive selection of distance weapons. But all may not be as it seems, which is why we'll now take a look at who wins in an Incredible Hulk vs. Superman super-fight.
Hulk vs. Superman: The Big Blue Boy Scout vs. the Green Goliath
One of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe, the Incredible Hulk is actually the superego/id of a scrawny and brilliant nuclear physicist named Bruce Banner. That would be "Dr." Bruce Banner to you.
In his mighty green form, it is generally acknowledged that Hulk is flat-out the strongest humanoid in existence – especially because of a most peculiar facet of his superhuman biology: he gets stronger as he gets angrier.
As such, many believe his strength to be virtually incalculable; and rightfully so. Hulk has hoisted mountains on his massive shoulders, and broken enchantments made by nigh-omnipotent gods using the sheer force of his unrelenting strength.
In short; Hulk has lifted Thor's hammer – which is supposed to be an impossible feat for those not worthy.
On paper, the Incredible Hulk is about as unstoppable as the X-Men's Juggernaut claims to be. When writers are feeling like their loyal audience needs a reminder of Hulk's strength levels, they pit him against the Mighty Thor – Lord of Thunder and Odin's son from Norse mythology, recast as a godly Marvel superhero.
It is meant to show that a Hulk unleashed requires the attention of a god to even have a hope of stopping him.
As for Hulk's strength ratcheting up with his anger, the only apparent limit may be to his anger, itself. Many think that Hulk can continue adding to his already stratospheric strength levels, but this requires his anger to be limitless, as well.
In a Hulk vs. Superman bout, the outcome of the battle may very well hinge entirely on the veracity of this assumption.
In a Marvel Comics' series, there was an incredibly powerful being called Onslaught; the mind-spawn of Professor X and Magneto.
Heroes rose and fell in attempts to breach his hide; none succeeded in even harming the ultra-powerful telepath. It was then that Jean Grey, harbinger of the Phoenix Force, used her powers to banish all humanity from Banner/Hulk; thereby turning him into the personification of anger. Finally, the onslaught that Hulk – in this rage-maxed form – launched managed to break Onslaught's armor.
In the World War Hulk and Planet Hulk story lines, Hulk seemingly reached a level of anger that simply could not be surpassed when his wife and unborn child were killed. We shall take a look at this one later, after first investigating how Superman might deal with Hulk's increasing strength as he gets angrier and angrier.
These are just a handful of the Incredible Hulk's dashing feats of strength; to give you an idea of what the rage-monster is capable of.
Superman vs Hulk – Limitless Powers?
As if these two power-behemoths weren't strong enough, Hulk and Superman are some of the most powerful meta-humans just at their baseline levels. It is difficult for other strong super-beings to simple hurt them at all in many cases – much less actually have a shot at taking them down.
Let's take the Incredible Hulk, for example. When Bruce Banner, nuclear theoretical physicist and one of the seven smartest people in the Marvel Comics' Universe, turns into the Green Goliath, there are perhaps just five other humanoid characters that can stand toe-to-toe with him in strength. These are the Mighty Thor (he's an Asgardian god, folks), Gladiator – the intergalactic champion of the Shi-ar Empire, Hercules, Drax the Destroyer, and Juggernaut.
Among the beings that surpass Hulk in strength might be Sentinel and Onslaught – but that isn't nearly the entire story. If an adversary who hasn't quite read up on Hulk's brief does something to make him angry, Hulk's abilities ratchet up to untold heights if this continues. Yes; that's why he is the rage monster – he goes from being an incredibly-difficult out, to being nigh-unstoppable. As Hulk becomes angrier and angrier, he can now match or damage the likes of Onslaught and Sentinel.
In a Hulk vs. Superman battle, this is the most important thing that Kal-El of Krypton will have to deal with. Hulk has traded blows with the Mighty Thor, goodness' sake, and picked up his hammer Mjolnir as his anger became unmanageably large.
Of course, Superman has picked up the hammer, too, and actually defeated Thor with a knockout punch in the Avengers vs DC crossover comic.
So, although the Big Green Machine has hoisted billion-ton mountains aloft, and dove in the ocean to move an entire island closer to shore, Superman has moved solar systems (Silver Age Superman) and bench-pressed a planet for a business week – without the aid of the sun.
The X-Men's Jean Grey employed the Phoenix Super-Force to relieve Hulk of his humanity in the battle against the psychic spawn of Magneto and Professor X.
This caused the Hulk to become as angry as possible, in a sense, as Banner's calming influence and mental safeguards were no longer an impediment to him reaching his full strength and power.
In this form, Hulk did something that the combined might of Earth's heroes had been unable to do: he broke Onslaught's armor.
There have been other tremendous feats of strength from either side, such as Superman holding a Black Hole in his hands an lifting half of infinity (don't ask), or Hulk punching holes in reality and thunder-clapping light to fill a parallel universe.
The important thing here, for a Hulk vs. Superman fight, is that their power levels can increase. Hulk's, as he gets angry, and Superman's, as he bathes in the Sun or asks more of his Kryptonian physiology.
The Lord of Rage and the Prince of Power
As the Incredible Hulk gets angry or feels pain, his Class 100 strength grows seemingly without bound. I say seemingly, because it is dependent on pain and anger.
So, if those two feelings are boundless, then so is Hulk's strength (and other powers, such as durability, leaping, stamina, regenerative attribute, etc).
In a Hulk vs. Superman battle, Kal-El will quickly become aware of the need to put the beast down – if he can. He'll notice – as Hercules did with Gaea's son Antaeus in Greek mythology – that his opponent does not seem to be tiring as the fight wears on.
Unlike Antaeus and Hercules, however, it is unreasonable to think that Superman could hoist Hulk above his head and strangle or crush him.
Hulk heals very quickly, and is difficult to control – even for Superman, although the Man of Steel would be the most capable humanoid Hulk has ever faced.
Those aware of the Superman mythos are of course aware of his incredible speed. This, as much as anything else, may make the Superman vs Hulk battle one-sided.
Hulk is very fast, but he cannot speed past gods the way Clark can. For example, Hulk's listed speed of 300 miles per hour on ground is brutally fast; but he may as well be crawling compared to the interstellar speed of the Kryptonian – even if we discount his Silver Age speeds that allowed him to turn back time.
Hulk's speed derives from his prodigious strength, and is limited by what the ground can sustain anyway, since he cannot fly. At some point, even as Hulk grows stronger with pain or rage, the ground would give way and he would just keep "running downward" into the flames he creates from molten rock.
The Otherworldly Speed of the Kryptonian
Superman's speed, on the other hand, is an entirely separate power, added to the excess speed he gets from the sheer force he can impart to the ground. When launching flying attacks, Hulk would be struck before he even understands from which direction Superman is streaming towards him.
Basically, then a speed blitz for which Hulk has no answer is a very possible method of attack that Superman could utilize – which even the thunder god Thor could not unleash.
Next, Superman would recognize the potential for great destruction inherent in their little dance. Using his strength, speed and powers of flight, he could make Hulk a victim of momentum and inertia – similar to how Kal handled Doomsday – and throw him somewhere far away so that they could fight.
Indeed; is it even possible for Superman to make Hulk angry enough for him to reach impossible levels?
It seems that, unless something truly diabolical happens – such as the death of a loved one at the hands of his adversary – Hulk cannot just decide to get as angry as he wants in the comic books. Hulk had his pregnant wife killed in the World War Hulk storyline, which eventually led to his planet-rending World Breaker form.
That notwithstanding, it took the Phoenix Force to absolve him of any checks to his rage. Simply beating him up doesn't make his anger increase interminably; and I have a theory as to possibly why:
As Hulk's strength and abilities ratchet up, so too does his resistance to injury and his ability to heal from damage. Hulk will become too physically resilient for most super-beings to hurt him at some point, so he will no longer feel pain, and he will heal extremely quickly from any damage he does happen to suffer at the hands of an ultra-meta.
These do NOT make a recipe of increasing anger. It is doubtful that Hulk could ever become resilient enough that the likes of Superman couldn't hurt him, but he does become more and more capable of shrugging off blows if Clark doesn't start to truly unleash his power, or flat-out sun-dip.
So, if the Hulk is losing a battle and getting angrier and angrier, it will become harder to inflict pain and damage on him – barring a single, absolutely catastrophic barrage that supersedes his capacity to regenerate.
This begs the question, by what mechanism would his anger continue increasing…?
For these reasons and more, Hulk vs. Superman is a very interesting fight. Hulk's anger increases his strength, his resistance to injury and his healing factor.
On the other hand, when Superman gets angry, he does something he rarely does – unleashes his true power levels; unconstrained by the frailty of his surroundings (steel, concrete, etc).
Additionally, the Man of Steel can sun-dip for even greater powers – which means he gets even faster, which may be the only thing for which the Incredible Hulk cannot account. All of Hulk's physical attributes exceed godlike levels to a similar degree as Superman's; but that complete lack of relative speed just might be the nail in the Green Goliath's coffin in a fight with the Last Son of Krypton.
A work in progress – please bookmark and return to read! Thanks!

in the comic book one superman wins against hulk because he had grab hulk by the throat and fly with him in to outer .space were hulk can only breath for only six hours in outer space and superman won but he had to bring hulk .back down to earth and in hulk book two hulk win against superman and hulk had four hundred nineteen times because hulk was not thinking and letting has angry get the best of him and he won five hundred nineteen but hulk learn for his losses
From what I understand, Superman gets his power from the yellow sun of Earth's solar system. So if Hulk were to throw/punch/etc Superman into a solar system with a sun any other colour, doesn't Superman immediately lose his powers and die in the vacuum of space?
Conversely, couldn't Superman just keep leading Hulk on a chase until he calms down and becomes Bruce Banner?

In 1986, the Nike Air Force 1 redefined the role of sneakers in urban culture. White-on-white Uptowns, as they came to be called, quickly became the footwear of many urban drug dealers who wore them in pristine condition as signifiers of wealth and status. In the media, this bravado represented both a reinterpretation of American success as well as urban degeneracy. This dichotomy would continue to permeate sneaker culture as the conspicuous consumption of sneakers became linked to young black masculinity.
1986 also marked the year that Run–DMC released "My Adidas" and signed a million dollar contract with Adidas, helping to disseminate the urban fashion for the Superstar to a global audience. Other sneaker brands followed suit, but rather than using these endorsements to connect with their inner-city base, many companies exploited the image of unrestrained urban luxury to sell shoes to white, suburban, middle-class consumers. At the height of this commodification of urban "authenticity," American sneaker brand British Knights admitted in a press release, "The only way to get a middle-class suburban high school kid to buy your product is to have an inner-city kid wear it."

The goal of the Transition to Teaching Program (TTT) was to provide 40 highly qualified college graduates and mid-career changers with alternate routes to teaching certification for placement in Philadelphia's Talent Development middle and high schools. The targeted academic areas are mathematics and science.
