"Every day in every way I am getting better and better." - Nelson Van Alden
What's that, "Boardwalk Empire" without its tragic hero, Jimmy Darmody? What's next, an aviatrix (or "lady flyer" if you prefer) navigating across the continent?
As the third season of "Boardwalk" soldiers on sans Jimmy, everyone else in Atlantic City and beyond seems to be aspiring to be a better "them" in 1923. Well, almost everyone (looking at you, Al Capone).
For as long as Jimmy was around, he always reminded Nucky Thompson that he couldn't be "half a gangster." Even though he's resigned his political post and is now a self-proclaimed philanthropist, Nucky seems to have taken Jimmy's parting advice to heart. He's carrying a pistol at all times, tough-talking liquor thieves, ordering murders and keeping a new mistress.
As Harry Daugherty, portrayed by character actor hall-of-famer Chris McDonald observes, "you're a gangster, plain and simple."
Simplifying Nucky as merely a gangster might not do him justice though, and the same holds true for the show itself. While it is ever another dense chapter of a visual novel, "Resolutions" opens with a scene that could have been lifted straight from another Scorsese project.
Gyp Rosetti, a new heavy for this season, makes it clear from his highway tire iron-beating that he is about as terrifying as he looks. Bobby Cannavale plays Rosetti so menacingly that handing his highway victim's little dog (rechristened as "Scruffy") to Margaret Thompson read as a horrifying act of aggression.
With minutes to spare in 1922, George Mueller (aka former agent Nelson Van Alden) manages to lose the door-to-door sales contest at his new gig, but still takes home the award for Most Depressing Existence Ever.
The mislead with Van Alden peddling irons at a house with bathtub gin was brilliant, though it's apparent that Van Alden is truly trying to live honorably and make a new life for himself, complete with a new self-affirmation mantra. It all makes "Death of a Salesman" seem cheery and upbeat by comparison.
Of course, Van Alden's flight from justice at the end of season two led him to the outskirts of Chicago, which gives us reason to stick with the Windy City now that Jimmy and his ties there are gone. Then again, the show could've just kept dedicating 10 minutes every week to the adventures of young Al Capone and nobody would complain too much, as Stephen Graham is brilliant as the future crime lord.
Van Alden's chance run-in with Capone sets up a great storyline for the former g-man to find a new war to fight without all that pesky due process.
Speaking of wars, we find the battle-scarred Richard Harrow once again without a country. A concern going into this season for many fans was what could be done with such a great character without Jimmy or Angela to drive his actions? The obvious answers are of course, avenge their deaths (check) and try not to let their son become another Oedipal disaster (jury's still out).
As far as comedy goes in a show like "Boardwalk," it doesn't get much better than Harrow cleaning up at the duck shooting booth at the carnival.
Maybe ironically, or perhaps intentionally, Sunday's premiere took place on the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, which Manny Horowitz and his wife still keep sacred. Manny too wants a new life in 1923: his own booze operation and to celebrate the goyim new year with his wife.
What he gets instead is a new hat and a shotgun shell in the face from Harrow, which either a) closes the business of avenging Angela's death or b) starts the process of avenging Jimmy's, depending on who you think Harrow feels he owes the most to. Manny will be missed but not mourned, because even on a show full of cold-blooded murderers he stood out as a lunatic.
Emboldened by female aviator Carrie Duncan's historic attempt at transcontinental flight, Margaret is out for reform once again, this time making prenatal healthcare her platform issue. We're not sure of the fallout at first, but it's clear by the middle of the Thompson's New Year's party that her signing over Nucky's enormous land holdings to the church has driven their relationship into a mere facade.
And how about that Egyptian-themed soiree? Having Eddie Cantor play your party seems to be the 1920s equivalent of hiring Wayne Brady, no? No doubt the irony of the celebrating pharaohs' opulence was not lost on the studious (and Jewish) Arnold Rothstein, or on Nucky Himself.
Even as Nucky announces his exclusive deal with Rothstein, he still has people sizing up his tomb. As Rosetti deftly quips at Nucky after the Egyptian song-and-dance number, "look, another mummy!"
"Resolutions" set the table for what looks to be a more rough-and-tumble season of "Boardwalk Empire." Plenty of questions still remain, particularly around Owen Sleater and whether he'll see an expanded role, what Chalky and Eli (neither of whom we saw in the premiere) are up to, and whether Micky Doyle's laugh can be converted into a ringtone.
Oh, the little matter of what happens to political connections when Harding dies in office (not a spoiler if you took 6th grade social studies) and whether they'll be another all-out booze war in Atlantic City. Little stuff like that.
Old habits die hard, especially when we foolishly resolve to change them on January 1st. Happy New Year, "Boardwalk." We missed you.
"Every day in every way I am getting better and better." - Nelson Van Alden

The Temple Tiger and More Man-Eaters of Kumaon
OUP India, Aug 10, 1989 - Biography & Autobiography - 190 pages
The last of Colonel Jim Corbett's books on his unique and enthralling hunting experiences in India, this volume concludes the narrative of his adventures with tigers begun in the famous Man-Eaters of Kumaon. These stories maintain, perhaps even supercede, the high standard of the earlier classic collection. Corbett saves his best story of all for the long concluding chapter in this volume, describing, in The Talla Des Man-Eater, how he embarked on what he feared might be a fatal last test of skill and endurance. As always, he writes with an acute awareness of all jungle sights and sounds, choosing words charged with a great love of humanity, birds, and animals. His calm and straightforward modesty heightens the excitement and suspense of these experiences, in which he continuously risks his life to free the Indian tarai of dangerous man-eaters.

Three cattlemen adjust to weather hardships
The drought has had lasting effects on farmers across the country. Cattlemen in particular have dealt with low forage supplies and water availability, and changed management practices to survive in adverse conditions.
During the 2013 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Cattlemen's College, three producers shared their tips for surviving—and thriving through dry times.
Forage Innovation
O.D. Cope of Auroura, Mo., took advantage of near-bare pastures in August of 2012 to aerial-sow a variety of cover crop mixes for his 2,500 head cow herd. "We were desperate for forage, so we started cleaning off some of the hilly sloops, aerial-seeding fescue and turnips. I've never seeded turnips before in my life, but I'd seen the dairy boys do it and the cows seemed to like it. At the other farm, we no-tilled cereal rye with turnips."
The drought for him started in 2011, from the previous year holding on, filled the barns with as much hay as possible and bagged 700 tons of corn silage in 2012, a first for his operation.
Have a Plan
Drought is nothing new for Nebraska rancher John Maddox. Even looking back to the early 2000s, his experiences in the past allowed him to prepare for the future. "The most important thing is to have a plan. Hope is not a plan," he said.
Even with 75% of normal rainfall, the summer heat zapped the native grasses that Maddox relies on for summer grazing. Shifting the cowherd to 15,000 acres of irrigation cornstalk fields this year helped him retain the cowherd numbers, "We can see the writing on the wall—we know what the summer is shaping up to be. Now is the time to get ahead of this and put some plans together," he says. "Making tough decisions before things get bad is so much better than someone else making them for you."
Determining our realistic carrying capacity is critical to managing our resource, he says. "We can use those crop residues and not feed any additional supplement to our cowherd and graze almost 365 days a year, pardon any major snow event, which is a great competitive advantage."
Ready to Move Water
In the past 14 years, northern New Mexico rancher Linda Davis says their 100,000-acre operation has received less than 6" of rain per year. Going from about 2,500 cows to 400 cows during that time has put much financial strain on the multiple family operation. Moving from Herefords to a crossbred Hereford and Red Angus system helped the cattle better acclimate to higher elevations.
On the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, the biggest problem Davis has seen has been water availability—"in the last 60 years, the water table has dropped 10' every decade," she says.
Close enough to the Aquala Aquifer, everything is being depleated east. No snow has fallen on the east side of the Rockies, she adds.
"Our biggest challenge is to keep the moral of my crew, which is mostly family. We have good water rights, but no water," she says.
Being so isolated in the area means the operation puts up all of their own hay and any cottonseed supplement that they do purchase has to be trucked or railed in.
A few years ago, Davis' son found a used Forest Service tanker truck has allowed the family to move water to areas of the ranch where there is forage, but not close to water.
"Water rights are worth however much water there is," she says. "If you have rights but no water, that's it."

Hi Guys,
The Crossbow 3 12m, is the best lightwindkite i have riden so far.
Used it in El Gouna by avg 7 kts. with a door. I am 72 kilos.
While other riders were loosing hight with their new Bandit 13m, 14m Vegas- and 16m Airrushkites, I was gaining hight with no problems at all. The Airrushkiter even used exact the same Board as I and was of identical weight, but was kompletly chanceless!
It was realy a lot of fun to follow the Airrush guy downwind and then to ride back up, while he had to walk.
I can imagen that even 5 kts would make it possible for me to hold hight.

Serena cruises, Venus falls in French Open Day 1
Paris, France – Serena Williams put last year's early exit at the French Open behind her by dominating her first-round match Sunday in Paris.
Her sister wasn't as fortunate, however.
Williams, the top seed and 2002 women's champion, had no problems whatsoever in extending her career-best winning streak to 25 straight matches after cruising to a 6-0, 6-1 rout of Georgia's Anna Tatishvili on the famed red clay of Roland Garros.
The current World No. 1 suffered her first and only loss in the opening round of a Grand Slam event last year in Paris when she fell to France's Virginie Razzano.
Williams has titled in each of her last four events (Miami, Charleston, Madrid and Rome) coming into the French Open.
Venus Williams, who lost to Serena in an all-sibling final at this prestigious event in 2002, wasn't able to prevail in a hard-fought bout with Urszula Radwanska in which the 22-year-old Polish native held on for a 7-6 (7-5), 6-7 (4-7), 6-4 win.
After the first two sets were decided by tiebreakers, Radwanska broke the 30th-seeded Venus twice in the third en route to taking a 5-1 lead. Williams rebounded with a break later on and took the next three games, but Radwanska held serve to come out on top in a 3-hour, 19-minute marathon.
It's only the second time Venus Williams was ousted in the first round of the French Open during her long and storied career, with the other coming in 2001.
Elsewhere on Day 1, fifth-seeded Sara Errani started her run for another title appearance with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Arantxa Rus. Errani fell to Russian superstar Maria Sharapova in last year's French Open title match.
The day's biggest upset was produced by Puerto Rico's Monica Puig, who upended 11th-seeded Russian Nadia Petrova 3-6, 7-5, 6-4. Puig is making her Grand Slam debut.
Ana Ivanovic, the 2008 champion and No. 14 seed, got past Petra Martic 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, while 19th-seeded Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova outlasted Andrea Hlavackova 4-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4. Sorana Cirstea, seeded 26th, posted a 5-7, 7-5, 6-2 win over Kiki Bertens and No. 32 seed Sabine Lisicki discarded Sofia Arvidsson 6-3, 6-4.
Other wins on Day 1 came from Razzano, Yulia Putintseva, Shelby Rogers, Caroline Garcia, Petra Cetkovska, Donna Vekic, Dinah Pfizenmaier and Galina Voskoboeva.

text: The Two-Way Israel Fires Warning Shots Into Syria; Vows Action Against Gaza Rocket Fire November 11, 2012 The shots — the first that Israel has fired at Syria since the 1973 Yom Kippur War — come just days after a Syrian mortar shell hit a target inside the Israel-occupied Golan Heights. Israel noted the Syrian firing was part of that country's civil war. Separately, Israel also said it was ready to respond to a barrage of rocket fire from Gaza.

Gov. Rick Perry — in Milan, Italy on an economic development trip — praised first responders and offered his prayers for those who lost loved ones inthe 9-1-1 terrorist attack.
Here's the statement from his office:
MILAN, Italy – Gov. Rick Perry today recognized the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and issued the following statement:
"Eleven years ago this morning, the hopes, dreams and lives of more than 3,000 individuals were taken during the most brazen and catastrophic terrorist attack the United States had ever seen. In the years since, their tales of loss, redemption and soul-stirring courage have inspired people around the world to live larger, more meaningful lives. Those behind the attacks hoped to crush the American spirit, but that spirit remains alive and well, especially in the members of our military, as well as the paramedics, firefighters and police officers who have dedicated their lives to helping others. Our thoughts and prayers are with those whose hearts are heavy with the remembrance of loved ones lost in the attacks."

The most beautiful CD-i player in the world
>> Tuesday, April 10, 2007
BeoCenter AV5 was, at first glance, merely a television set. However, what you saw was just half the picture. The AV5 was in fact a fully integrated, compact digital home entertainment system, comprising a CD-i player, FM radio and powerful loudspeakers... as well as a television! BeoCenter AV5 therefore offered the best of both worlds and allowed you decide. At the touch of a button, two motor-drive loudspeakers stretched silently out to each side of the TV set. It was a simple, welcoming gesture but one that also ensures a special performance every time you switch on. The extra width allowed the loudspeakers to combine with the ear-shattering centre bass to produce optimal stereo sound in its full perspective. It was something you could hear - and feel - every time you watched a movie or listened to the in-built radio or played a CD-i. Indeed, BeoCenter AV5 was so versatile that at the time of its introduction, it could also play CD-i discs.
Devoting efforts in creating the perfect entertainment system didn't mean that Bang & Olufsen had forgotten what they knew about creating the perfect picture. On the contrary. The AV5's 63cm super flat picture tube, combined with the contrast screen's anti-reflective coating, delivered a sharper picture, with more depth and perspective, than you had ever seen before. So when the AV5's electronic curtains glided open you could be sure that what lay behind them was pure entertainment. Another original Bang & Olufsen feature added to daylight viewing comfort. It was a small electronic sensor that registered the prevailing light conditions in the room and adjusted the picture, so that it was always sharp, no matter whether a reading lamp was lit or sunlight suddenly poured through the window. Touch CD on the Beo4 remote control and the AV5 moved on its motorised stand to face the viewer's favourite viewing position. And active speaker stretched out from each side. On top, a CD-i player elegantly lifted open to allow you to drop in your CD-i and listen. The superior sound of the AV5 was made possible by the creation of a 'soundscape' that widened the perspective of the sound to make each individual instrument clear and distinct. Combined with an inbuilt, ear-shattering centre bass, the AV5 delivered a sound so rich and true that the effect was remarkably similar to a dedicated surround system.
The Bang & Olufsen CD-i player built-in a television set is probably one of the rarest CD-i players, and if you have the Beocenter AV5 with the CD-i player, please let us know!

Is Apple TV Apple's Most Important Product?
February 25, 2012 by Gordon
Filed under Features & Editorials
Strange but true: 3rd generation iPad and Apple TVs will be announced next month. You should be more excited about the latter…
Is Apple TV Apple's Most Important Product?
- By Gordon Kelly
- Published 25.02.2012 (for TrustedReviews)
There is a lot of excitement about 7 March, but it is focused on the wrong product. While the headlines speculate upon the possibility of Tim Cook unveiling a fatter iPad 3 or even iPad 2S, an arguably far more important product is also tipped to take to the stage: a new Apple TV.
In purely financial terms this sounds like a ludicrous statement. In January Apple reported huge financial results which revealed sales of 15.43 million iPads in just 14 weeks up to 31 December. It represented a growth of 111 per cent over the same period in 2010 and nearly tripled the 5.2m Macs sold over the same period. A post PC era indeed. Furthermore iPhone sales were reported at 37.04m, an even bigger 128 per cent leap year on year. To quote Tim Cook: "We're thrilled with our outstanding results and record-breaking sales of iPhones, iPads and Macs". What of the Apple TV? It wasn't even mentioned.

NEW YORK, June 7 (UPI) -- Two polls Thursday disagreed whether government should impose dietary restrictions to fight obesity.
An IBOPE Inteligencia interactive poll indicates 72 percent of those polled disagree with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposal to limit the size of sugary soft drinks, with 58 percent strongly disapproving. Only 23 percent agreed. IBOPE polled 2,029 U.S. adults June 1-4. The margin of error is 2.2 percentage points.
A poll commissioned by the Center for Science in the Public Interest found consumers evenly split on limiting restaurant soft drink sizes to 16 ounces.
"People are starting to figure out that if we want to make a dent in obesity rates, we need to drive down consumption of sugar-based drinks," CPSI Executive Director Michael F. Jacobson said. "Not only are people drinking less soda, but there is more support for public policies that nudge people in the right direction, and that make the healthy choice the default choice."
Fifty-eight percent in the northeastern United States said they support the limit.
The poll queried 1,008 adults May 31-June 3. No margin of error was provided.

Washington Times left facts behind
Research ››› ››› AVI ZOLLMAN
A Washington Times editorial published on September 9 misleadingly claimed that under President George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind (NCLB) education program, "Pennsylvania and other states and local school districts failed to spend $5.7 billion in federal school money in fiscal 2000, 2001 and 2002."
Federal regulations regarding the appropriation of money for education make the appearance of overfunding nearly inevitable, but much of the $5.7 billion that the Times claims was returned to the U.S. Treasury Department may yet be spent. As Media Matters for America noted on August 10, after FOX News Channel host Bill O'Reilly made a similar misleading claim about education funding, the law gives states at least 27 months to spend federal education money. According to a July 12 press release from the House Committee on Education and the Workforce Democratic staff, states spent 99.5 percent of federal K-12 education money allocated for fiscal year 1998, the most recent year for which all relevant deadlines for state expenditures of federal education money have passed.
Moreover, the Times' assertion that the apparent surplus "should debunk the myth that No Child Left Behind is an unfunded federal mandate" ignores the budgetary shortfalls that have occurred as a result of the legislation. As MMFA has noted, a House Committee on Education and the Workforce Democratic staff report shows that the president's budget for 2005 provides $9.4 billion less for NCLB programs than was authorized for them by Congress. According to the report, this would be the "3rd straight time" that NCLB programs would be denied "promised resources" since the act was signed into law two years ago. The National Education Association estimates that fully funding the burdens placed on local educational agencies by NCLB would cost $18 billion more than Congress appropriated in fiscal year 2004.

So what's in store for the Savannah area economy in 2013?
Predictions are problematic at this point because of some significant variables - ones that are especially frustrating since they are entirely under human control.
Of first concern is the so-called "fiscal cliff," which the blog Calculated Risk has more aptly called an "austerity slope."
To put it simply, there's no deadline for action - fiscal policy can be adjusted throughout next year. Going over the cliff will not be a "crisis" in any conventional meaning of the term.
In fact, going over the cliff is the surest way to address our deficit and debt, if you view those as more important than the short-term health of the economy.
I'm assuming that in early January we will see an extension of the Bush-era tax cuts for the middle class, an expiration of the temporary cuts to payroll taxes and some other tax increases affecting a relatively small number of wealthy Americans.
We'll probably also see some cuts in federal spending, although it's highly unlikely that the deep cuts mandated by current law will take full effect. As much as we like to rail against federal spending, Americans broadly oppose any cuts to the most costly programs - Social Security, defense, Medicare and Medicaid.
If a messy solution to the cliff doesn't also include a debt ceiling increase, then we could see more confidence-crushing brinksmanship in the coming months.
The likely tax increases and spending cuts will bring the federal budget a little closer to balance, but those policies will also hurt spending and reduce GDP.
Austerity is a drag.
Then there's the more pressing issue of the impending longshoremen's strike on the East Coast.
That labor dispute might have been settled by the time you're reading this. Or it might be resolved, as I'm guessing, within a week.
However, any strike will damage the local economy. The longer the strike lasts, the more lasting the damage is likely to be.
That's a lot to worry about, and we've already seen a couple of fairly gloomy forecasts for the Savannah area from economists at Georgia State and UGA.
But there are many reasons to be upbeat.
Reasons for optimism
First off, as I discussed in Tuesday's column, recent employment estimates for the Savannah metro area (Chatham, Effingham and Bryan counties) show that the local job market will finish the year in far stronger shape than the consensus prediction a year ago.
Employment is a lagging indicator of economic conditions, so the recent hiring surge largely reflects business conditions going back many months. But all those added employees should significantly boost both local spending power and production in 2013.
While employment is a lagging indicator, residential investment is a leading indicator. Typically, new home construction is a key driver as the U.S. pulls itself out of recessions, but that wasn't true in recent years because of the overbuilding during the housing bubble.
But now new home construction is contributing positively to the economy rather than dragging it down.
According to the latest Coastal Empire Economic Monitor from Armstrong Atlantic State University's Center for Regional Analysis, the seasonally adjusted number of home building permits jumped 34 percent in the third quarter compared to the second.
Don't look for housing starts, home sales or prices to climb quickly back to their pre-recession peaks, but we should see improving numbers in all those areas in 2013.
We will also see continued forward momentum from the significant number of major investments announced in 2012.
New hotels are planned on River Street and in other locations near the historic district. Several significant new residential projects are planned for the greater downtown area, too.
Renovations continue on Drayton Tower, which is now leasing and has a snazzy new website (www.draytontowersavannah.com). Work also continues on the new Victory Drive plaza that will be home to Whole Foods Market.
Aside from the question marks regarding the port, Savannah's other core economic sectors seem in good shape for the new year, including tourism, manufacturing, health care and education.
Through the recession and the slow recovery, we've also seen the development of a strong DIY entrepreneurial spirit, a trend that bodes well for 2013 and beyond.
And a few words of caution
Of course, the recovery from the 2007-09 recession still isn't over. It will likely be 2014 before employment reaches its previous peak, and we're certain to see more stores and restaurants close because of the years of weak sales.
Keep in mind that January is always an especially weak month.
The city of Savannah will also have to be careful not to end up in another divisive public brouhaha if and when the search for a permanent city manager begins. We will likely also be gearing up for an important but contentious renewal of the 1 percent special purpose local option sales tax.
There are all sorts of other factors that could hurt the Savannah economy in 2013 - from the ongoing woes in Europe to hurricanes.
But we turned a small corner in 2012, and the trends generally look pretty good for next year if we can avoid self-inflicted wounds.

Seeing as I will probably get a ham sandwich for Valentine's Day, I may as well drop some hints. My new love is Illamasqua, right? Well they have 3 Valentine's gift sets which should suit every useless boyfriend:
They Say:
Illamasqua celebrates revealing your alter ago and brings you the perfect must-have Valentine's gifts. With three amazing products including a pre-filled 4-Colour Lip Palette, a pre-filled Valentine's Palette and a Femme Fatale Kit – it's the perfect opportunity to show your partner how special they are.
The fabulous 4-Colour Lip Palette offers you a choice of four seductive shades to reveal every facet of your alter ego and give you the perfect all-night pout. It comes in a stunning bespoke Valentine's sleeve and will retail at £14.
The pre-filled Valentine's Palette is the ultimate gift option and brings together key colours of Lipstick (Maneater, Corrupt, Abandon, Ignite), Powder Eye Shadows (Gimp, Preen, Vanian, Savage, Echo, Fiasco), Eye Brow Cake (Gaze), Eye Liner Cake (Mislead), Powder Blusher (Unrequited) and Cream Blusher (Ravish), – colours to suit every alter ego on Valentine's night. This comes in a stunning bespoke Valentine's sleeve and will retail at £95.
The Femme Fatale Kit is the ideal gift to bring out your dark side. This unique kit has everything you need to indulge your fantasies and release your inner temptress. Contains Lipstick in Encounter, Eye Liner Cake in Mislead including Sealing Gel, Nail Varnish in Ruthless, Volume Mascara in Harness, Seduction Cards and black satin blindfold by Coco de Mer and will retail at £50.
So you have the four colour lip palette at only £14 (!!!! – bargain).
Good present if your boyfriend is a student, unemployed, 'struggling artist' or just generally tight (does he ask you for money back after for your portion of chips? Does he throw a hissy fit if you want an Apple Pie with your Mcdonalds?) then this is the one to go for.
The prefilled palette (4 lip colours, 6 shadows, 1 brow powder, 1 cake liner, 1 powder and 1 cream blusher) is just up my street. I love having a palette that pretty much covers everything and I quite like someone picking colours for me I may not normally choose for myself – £95 is not a bad price for all that, I would suggest the Boyf hold off on the flowers and tacky bears as I'd rather have this palette. HINT!
The Femme Fatale kit is a good price too (note – on the website the prices are actually lower because of the VAT reduction, so this is more like £43 on the website). You get a nice mixture of products and it could be nice if you like, er, blindfolds and stuff.
Mmmm this brand is killing me. You can buy it here.

The beauty in white. She's looks gorgeous.
xx Mira
Xoxo! Cory
Um…no the woman we are talking about in white is certainly not Garance.
She is Atlanta de Cadenet
wonderfully stylish :)
You said what I was thinking! She is gorgeous in white, and in black in the picture below. Striking, sensual woman.
I'm enchanted by the lady in shot two, the blues, printed coat and plaid skirt are pleasantly unexpected. and I like what's unexpected, especially at fashion weeks.
Love the blue & brown jacket!
Wow, love all of these women. Each one has such amazing personal style.
Lovely white dress!
Kisses from
I wear my grandmas clothes, I look incredible, I wear this big ass cardigan from the thrift shop down the road
Great, colorful options. I love how different and unique they all are. Particularly love the daintiness of the first look and the vibrancy of the last. Great transition inspiration!
Awesome shots and gorgeous looks! I love the girl drawing and Viviana's skirt!
oh gorgeous! these ladies are all immaculately dressed! love the first woman
kelsey, Ladies in Navy
it is wonderful to see how there are so many styles at one show! The blue plaid skirt is great.
Lovely dress the first one!
A lot of granny wardrobe raiding been going with on with photo number 2.
Either that or she recycled the carpet into a cardigan.
L-O-L, but only in an ironic 'fashion' kinda way!
5 photographs in a row….and I want EVERYthing they're wearing!! I love you Scott.
So many great pieces!
beautiful looks
Is that Garance in the hat? Lets see that hair!
I LOVE all of these and I really really love the woman in the white dress and also the woman in the checkered skirt and oversized sweater. Such strong points of view, but so effortless!!!
My favorite part of this website are the people who do their own thing. Trends and trend followers are so boring after a while.
I think this beautiful photos look better than the collection itself.
A white lace dress and some red lipstick is always a beautiful mix!
I too was struck by the lack of trend following in these photos. Women with their own point of view!
Beautiful photos. The thing I love about it the most is that all of them look so real and comfortable in their outfits.
Nice and that last one skirt is perfect-. Nice colors.
White with simple red lipstick will never be out of style. The first look is killer!
the second one is amazing! love the color combo and texture…
truly artful!
Viviana Volpicella. Love her.
The white dress is gorgeous, feminine and couture-like! Valentino is a legend and his clothes are more than fashion and couture!
Viviana's skirt! That whole outfit is a home run.
xo Jennifer
Ahh its me! Thank you Scott for taking such a beautiful photo, I didn't even see you while i was sketching! To think i'm still wearing my work clothes…i literally hurried down to Tuileries to make the show. If you'd like to see my illustrations my website is http://www.ivetaka.com : )
bisous, iveta
Well I was half right and half wrong about Iveta, happened to see her comment. Being an artist is always super cool… And if you will forgive me for my previous remarks, I also want to say that I think it's wonderful to see someone reviving the art of fashion illustration. I went to your website and enjoyed your drawings. And I still think your working clothes are better fashion than much of what these so called fashionistas are wearing.
To me the second photo of the turquoise plaid skirt and great big sweater is what is wrong with fashion now. A few years ago, we would have all died laughing at this outfit. But now, we are so desperate for novelty that we wear stuff that is just weird.
Wow that golden and deep purple skirt is exquisite! Perfect for fall…with boots!
that first dress…anyone know who designed it?
I like it !
So who is the woman in white?
Nice dress, first one. Could be my wedding dress, actually!
Any idea where it is from?
J'adore la 1ere robe. Elle me tente bien ! Elle vient d'oĂą?
*TM (Ayelee)*
Love that first look!
The girl in the white dress looks like Atlanta de Cadenet
i found my love in comparsita
It's a time of fashion so every one wear dresses which beautiful, different and in latest fashion. Specially college girls and boys are very updated about fashion and always try to wear something different so that other people follow their trendy dress code in future. They wear whatever dresses that make them look cool and stylish.
Love the first photo

You can see a free exhibit of Thibodaux artist Jean Ayo's work next month at the Terrebonne Fine Arts Guild's Downtown Art Gallery 630.
You can see a free exhibit of Thibodaux artist Jean Ayo's work next month at the Terrebonne Fine Arts Guild's Downtown Art Gallery 630.
Officials with the Arts Guild selected Ayo as the group's artist of the month for January.
The gallery, 630 Belanger St., Houma, is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays.
An artist reception is scheduled from 3 to 5 p.m. Jan. 13.
As a water media painter, Ayo said she loves the flow and reaction of water and color on the paper.
"Seeing color react, gradate and blend on a surface is exciting, stirs a passion and fosters a desire to communicate this to the viewer through my paintings," she said.
Inspiration for subject matter is drawn from the flora and fauna found along the southern Gulf Coast and is recorded on a variety of surfaces, including paper, yupo, gessoed board and canvas. Ayo said painting provides a unique opportunity to share her culture and life experiences with others.
Her goal in painting is to create opportunity for the imagination of the viewer to see more than what meets the eye, to remember a similar life experience or to recall a past moment in time.
Ayo has studied with many accomplished artists and believes each has contributed to and enriched her work, including Lula Ameen, Mary Boudreaux, Martha Guthrie, Jan Hart, Henri Hensche, Edgar Whitney, Don Andrews and Tom Lynch. She is a member of several art associations, including the Terrebonne Fine Arts Guild where membership has contributed the gift of friendship with a group of like-minded artists who are committed to exploring artistic opportunities, education and a passion for creativity.
Her paintings have won numerous awards, most recently best-in-show at the Arts Guild's annual Spring Art Show. Her artwork can be found in many homes and businesses across the country.
The Arts Guild is offering children a free art class on Saturdays in January. To register your children for these classes scheduled for Jan. 12, 19 and 26, call Downtown Art Gallery at 851-2198 starting Wednesday. School age children will are accepted. Each child will receive one two-hour class for free.
All materials are provided by the Arts Guild, and club members will instruct each class. Registration continues until all classes are full.
The Terrebonne Fine Arts Guild will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a reception scheduled from 2 to 5 p.m. Jan. 27. The group started with 12 members, and has grown to more than 75 active and Friend of the Guild members. What started as a small group of ladies who just wanted to get together to paint, never imagined the group would become a very active club to promote art and art culture through numerous programs provided each year for the community.
All present and past members are invited to help celebrate this milestone. Also invited is anyone who has visited the art gallery since its inception in 1980. The gallery has moved several times during the years, and now sits at 630 Belanger St. in Houma, thanks to the generosity of Dora Ferber.
Carolyn France, an Arts Guild member, is displaying her work at Griffin's Poboy and Grille, 1015 W. Tunnel Blvd., Houma.
Mickey Guillory, another Arts Guild member, is showcasing her work at Woody's Restaurant inside Quality Hotel, 210 S. Hollywood Road, Houma.
The Terrebonne Fine Arts Guild-sponsored School Art Show is scheduled for March 3-9. Registration is scheduled from 3 to 5 p.m. Feb. 27 at Downtown Art Gallery 630. This is a parishwide competition. Blue ribbon winners from each school can participate. Ribbons will be awarded. All winners from the show are offered a week of free art classes in June.
The Arts Guild's annual Spring Art Show is scheduled for March 18-April 9. Registration is scheduled for March 13. A show prospectus will be available sometime in January.
Artwork for the themed competition, "Monochromatic Art," must be delivered by Jan. 11. This exhibit will remain on display through Feb. 26.
An oil painting workshop with Carol Hallock is scheduled for Sept. 25-27. Registration for this workshop will begin in January. For information, contact the workshop's chairwoman, Jean Ayo, at email@example.com.

What is more, says eyeforpharma, Pharma's approach to DTC is "decoupling from patient needs causing patients to disengage from traditional tactics. Only 39% of patients interviewed thought that advertisements for prescription drugs helped them have better discussions with [their] doctor versus 62% in 1999."
"These worrying results," says the report, "show that pharma is not just failing to maximize the value from this increasingly expensive investment but that the current approach to DTC is actually undermining industry efforts to reposition itself as an industry focused on patient needs."
What are the reasons for this? Let's look at the data first.
The report presents data from research undertaken by the Health Stories Project and compares it with earlier FDA surveys on patient attitudes towards DTC advertising.
|A portion of Table 2 from the whitepaper.
Not only are consumers confused by DTC ads, they are frightened by them, IMHO!
One possible reason for the reduced level of interest by consumers in DTC ads, says eyeforpharma in the whitepaper, is a "negative reaction to the use of what could be perceived as 'scare tactics' or shock value to garner attention in a crowded media environment."
Pharma has a responsibility to be more tactful, says John Mack, the industry thought-leader behind the Pharma Marketing Blog "While scare tactics might be good for awareness, I've always thought DTC shouldn't blame people," he says 18 "I'm not a fan of TV ads for pharma products; they don't depict patients accurately," says the anonymous patient advocate, who also criticizes TV ads for communicating product information in a manner that can intimidate rather than empower the patient "Even my 93-year- old mother has commented that the side effects sound worse than the health problem the medicine is supposed to help "The whitepaper includes comments and opinionsof other industry leaders and pundits.

Flickr Faves on Fridays: Maximizing Space on a Modern Balcony
Posted by
Becky |
View all posts by Becky
1 Comment »
Yesterday I gave you a peek at some of my friend Lucas's clever artwork tricks. Today I thought I'd show you his balcony, which is in this flickr set. This loft is right around the corner from The King Center in Atlanta's Old Fourth Ward. Lucas has really made the most of his balcony. It overlooks Freedom Parkway, Downtown, and Midtown. I was at a party at Casa Luca last week and at one point there were at least seven of us seated comfortably out there.
He has softened modern pieces with pillows, plants, and a rug. At night, he brings out his rechargeable lanterns from Vessel (on the chair in the top photo). Once you lounge on this daybed, you NEVER want to get up. The fabric is weather-resistant, and he also has a cover for it.
Lucas likes to take some time out to enjoy The View. And when he turns his head sideways, he gets this view. Not too shabby!

After coming close to a stakes victory many times before, Spackman Racing and Lin Melton's Dynasty Red finally enjoyed the spoils after going wire to wire in the $20,000 Barbra B Handicap at 440 yards on Sunday at Los Alamitos.
Ridden by Jay Conklin, Dynasty Red crossed the wire a half-length ahead of Spencer Childers California Breeders Championship Handicap runner-up Once Over in the quarter mile dash. Bred by Anselmo Aguilar, Dynasty Red covered the distance in :21.622 on the way to earning $11,000 for the effort. The gelded son of FDD Dynasty has a long list of second and third places finishes at Los Alamitos, but it was finally his turn to shine according to his trainer.
"He has been close so many times before and never runs a bad race," Melton said. "Jay rode a perfect race. The horse was running so smoothly."
Dynasty Red finished second in both the 2012 Holiday Handicap and 2013 John Ward Handicap held at Los Alamitos. He also ran third in last year's Vandy's Flash Handicap and most recently in the December 20 A Ransom Handicap. He was disqualified from second and placed fifth in last year's Bitterroot Derby at Les Bois Park and also ran fifth in the PCQHRA Breeders Derby here on October 4. Conklin was the jockey in five of those six stakes races.
"K.C. Spackman and I saw this horse at the (2011) Los Alamitos Equine Sale," Melton added. "We got lucky with him and we like him a lot. We'll keep running him in handicaps (like the Barbra B). We feel that he runs best every six weeks. You can't find a bad race in his form."
"He gives you his best every race," Conklin added. "I am very proud of him. I broke on top and halfway through the race I got after him a little bit. I figured he would do well at 440 yards and he showed what he is capable of doing when he leaves like he did tonight. It was finally his turn in a stakes race. The owners have stuck with me for a long time riding this horse and it's nice to be able to win a stakes race for them."
Dynasty Red has won five of 18 starts while earning $81,491. He's finished in the top three a total of 15 times.
Jockey Rodrigo Aceves returned to riding earlier this week after being sidelined for about three months with a broken ankle. Aceves won his first mount back and his third mount back he piloted Ed Allred's Once Over to a solid runner-up effort in the Barbra B.
"He broke out a little bit, but he ran pretty well from there. He trying to catch (Dynasty Red) and we just ran out of room," Aceves said. "He had not raced since early November at Zia Park and his first race back at Los Al is this 440-yard race. I think he ran a strong race. He was a little antsy in the gate and I think he'll do great in his next start."
Aceves started galloping last week before jumping back into the thick of the action on January 10.
"I just wanted to ride a few horses this week just to get back into the swing of things," said Aceves, who is this track's 6th all-time leading Quarter Horse rider in wins. "My ankle feels a little sore, but I think I'll feeling great when the races return on (January 24).
Los Alamitos will be dark from January 17, 18 and 19 due to the track expansion project. The expansion section of the track is expected to be completed in approximately 10 days.
Trained by Scott Willoughby, Once Over earned $4,500 for running second. Lyle Lovett's Stray Cat earned $2,500 for finishing third. Thrifty, Gold Flames On Fire, Ric Oh Shay, Follow The Dream, Bingo and Pathological Liar completed the field.

Uploading Yearbook Pages to WalsworthMarch 12th, 2009 by Russell Viers
Before exporting PDFs that will ultimately be submitted to Walsworth for printing, you should first make sure your computer is set up properly. Refer to previous blog article: http://www.russellviers.com/?p=401. Please note that this article is VERY boring and many people have complained about falling asleep halfway through and not getting it all done. My apologies in advance.
So now you have exported a bunch of PDFs and are wondering what to do with them. You'll upload them to Walsworth Publishing using something known as the world wide web (often referred to as www).
Before you begin, you'll need to get some information from me directly
Job Number: example 9-39XXX-0
username: example rname
password: example topsecret
So before we get too far into the upload process, let's make sure we're clear on the file naming process…very important. Uploading a 300 page book as 100 PDFs named PDF1, PDF2, PDF3, etc. would not be very cool, lemme tell ya. You'll want to follow a more organized naming convention that really helps Walsworth process your files correctly, speeding up the process and promising you a better book.
Please name the PDFs as follows:
If these are the first submission of a page, we want you to name them d(job number)_(page or pages) so it would look something like this: d9-39123_4-55.pdf for multiple page PDFs or d9-39013_2-2.pdf for a single page PDF. If you use the Book Feature of InDesign, and the pages in the PDF are not consecutive, you can even do d9-_38123_4-10_14-19_23-37.pdf. This may sound like extra work, but when dealing with as many pages as Walsworth does every day, this makes a difference.
If you are going to send in a revision to a page you've already uploaded, you would name it just like above, but put rv_ in front so we know it will replace the previously submitted page(s). It would look like rv_d8-39013_2-2.pdf.
When you are ready to submit pages you will use any internet browser and go to wpcdirect.com.
You will be asked to log in, in which case you will enter your username and password. If you enter the wrong information, it will reformat your hard drive and you will lose everything, causing you to spend hours reloading all your software and hope you backed up your files. Not really. If you don't have the information just contact me and I'll get it to you.
Once logged in, you will see a job already created for you with your job number and some other catchy little phrase I add in there like Yearbook 2009. So it might look like this: 9-39123-0 Yearbook 2009. See…it's catchy.
Click on this job, which is in blue and is the link to where you need to be to upload files.
In this next window, you'll see a button cleverly named Upload Files. I'll not insult your intelligence by telling you to push it.
When you click the Upload button to submit files, you will be asked to name your submission in a box titled Upload Name. If your book is all color or all black and white, naming the submission with a number first, like 1, with the date and page numbers in the upload would be great. If your book is mixed, you should name them something like submit color 1 12/12/07 or submit b&w 1 12/12/07 and include the page number range. This allows us to see how you want your files RIPed and the date and what number submission it is.
You will then either drag the PDFs into the window or click the icon of the page with the green plus next to it and browse your computer for them. After you have all the PDFs in that window, you'll click Upload and let your computer do its thing.
Please DO NOT submit files to the wpcdirect site that you want me to evaluate. I will have you upload them elsewhere…I don't want to risk any test pages getting into production.
Now that Walsworth has the PDFs, they will begin processing them and notify you when they are ready to proof online.
I'm sure there will be questions as you get into it. Feel free to email or call me anytime.

FACING FEAR: Q&A with Fraction & Brevoort on FEAR ITSELF #1
**SPOILER ALERT: Plenty of discussion on the events of Fear Itself #1 follows!** Following more than three months of pre-release hype — the story was originally announced on Dec. 21, 2010 — writer Matt Fraction and artist Stuart Immonen's Fear Itself #1 was released last week, officially kicking off (following March's Fear Itself: Book of the Skull one-shot prologue) the first far-reaching Marvel "event" series in a couple of years.
In the first installment, which Newsarama's Best Shots column said "accomplishes everything a first issue should and more," Steve Rogers feels the brunt end of a riot, the discovery of a hammer leads to Sin's rechristening as the powered-up Skadi, Thor and Odin have a heck of a father/son disagreement, and the mysterious Serpent is seen for the first time.
As befitting a first issue of a series as wide in scope as this one, plenty of questions were raised with Fear Itself #1. Luckily, Newsarama is talking with series writer Fraction and Fear Itself editor (and Marvel's senior vice president of publishing) Tom Brevoort following all seven issues of the series, asking your questions submitted on Twitter and a few of our own.
To ask a question for a future edition of our Facing Fear column, which will also include chats with art teams and creators working on tie-in books, tweet us @Newsarama with the tag #RamaFear. And for talk on how last week's Captain America news may affect Fear Itself, a lengthy discussion on the positive and negatives of advance solicitations, and some brief rumination on the role winter sports might play in the story — and plenty more — read on.
Newsarama: Matt, in the months leading up to Fear Itself, you talked about how eager you were for the story to start coming out…
Tom Brevoort: That's all changed now. We're now eager for it to be done. [Laughs.]
Matt Fraction: That literally could not be more true. I have gone from giddy anticipation to completely over it cynicism in the shake of a lamb's tail. I just want to get done. [Laughs.]
I just think it's been saturated at this point for so long. The last peak that we're going to hit is the finish line.
Brevoort: There's a lot of trepidation now, because people have seen the first issue, and by and large they've liked the first issue, which means that we can't screw up the remaining six issues.
Fraction: It's out, and people seem very happy. There was an event here in town, and it was very well received. It was all hypothetical, it was all potential, before it came out. And now it's out, and now it exists, so now there's nothing to do but blow it. [Laughs.] I am a Cubs fan, let me tell you all you need to know about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.Interior page
from Fear Itself #1.Nrama: There has obviously been a lot of online reaction and reviews to it — Matt, I think it's fair to say that it's probably one of the most reviewed single issues you've written up to this point. How closely have you monitored that stuff?
Fraction: I haven't looked at the reviews at all, sort of as a matter of policy. I started to, and started to catch myself not paying attention to my son so I could look at my phone. I put my forehead to his, and I said, "Henry, I need you to say, 'Daddy, knock it off.'" He looked at me, in the eyes, and he went, "Daddy, knock it off." So now whenever I've gotten curious to go scope a review, I feel like I can't. I told my kid I'd knock it off. Who wants to lie to my son? I don't want to do that.
So, no, I started to catch myself looking around for one or two, rather than focus on the important stuff. I've interacted with people more on Twitter than I have before, and I did a release party out here, so that's been kind of my exposure to it. Which has been resoundingly positive, but then I suppose no one's going to come up to your face at a book release party, and go, like, "Meh!"
The personal responses I've gotten have been very cool, and that's the stuff I've looked for. I've not read any reviews, or anything like that, and ultimately, I don't know if that helps anyone.
I hope people like it. I hope people enjoy it. I hope people felt that they got their money's worth, and are excited to see what comes next, don't know what's going to come next, and are asking questions, and are excited and curious to see where we're going, and feel like there are storm clouds on the horizon — all that good stuff. I want people excited for the next issue, and curious to see what happens.
Nrama: Moving to the comic book itself (rather than just the perceptions around it), obviously a lot of the pre-release discussions of Fear Itself talked about how an undercurrent of real-world fears and anxieties was relevant to the story, and sequences like the riot scene in #1 make that connection pretty overt. Can we expect to see more scenes like that as the series progresses, or was it more just to set the tone for the first issue?
Fraction: We are constantly taking small breaths to refocus on how regular people are reacting to suddenly finding themselves living in the Lego-verse. I suspect at the end as we kind of close the chapter on our scenes, it will perhaps get a bit more explicit. It was really about setting the tone for that first issue. I think it'll hopefully permeate the rest of the book, regardless of how specific we get.Captain America #1
variant cover.Nrama: In early discussion of Fear Itself, there was a lot of talk about how Steve Rogers would be particularly frustrated due to essentially being on "desk duty" during the conflict. But as of last week, we now know that he's going to be back as Captain America starting in July. Obviously just because a comic comes out in the same month doesn't mean it takes place at the same time, but since Fear Itself will only be at issue #4 in July, will that change be reflected at all in the series?
Brevoort: I think you've got to wait and see. There's absolutely no advantage to me to tell you that now. Read the future comics.
Fraction: I want people wondering that: "Will we see Steve Rogers as Captain America in the pages of Fear Itself? And will that mean anything to anyone other than Steve Rogers, if it happens?" What could compel him to do it? What would keep him from not doing it? Also, you're presuming that Ed [Brubaker]'s new book takes place in the current timeline.
I've come back to Kingdom Come a lot. When I was working retail, Kingdom Come was coming out, and I remember long days at the shop spent just speculating. I miss that.
Solicits aren't really meant for readers, they're sort of meant for retailers. Just the nature of the way this business works, where we have to tip our hands four months before books come out, so retailers can be better informed. We're often times trying to play against the nature of our solicitation stuff. I hope people speculate and wonder. There have been seeds I planted a long time ago that are starting to sprout, and people are wondering about. I'm happy, I'm excited. That's the kind of stuff that I love as a reader, where I can't wait for my questions to be answered, and I keep thinking of more questions.Fear Itself: Hulk vs.
Dracula #1 cover.Nrama: On that same note, there have been some fairly major developments in Fear Itself that have been disclosed by Marvel, in press or solicitations, before they've happened in the comic. The announcement articles for Fear Itself: Hulk vs. Dracula revealed that the Hulk was one of The Worthy, and the letter column of Uncanny X-Men #534.1 confirmed that Juggernaut was one, too — before any of that could actually be seen by readers in a comic book. Is that frustrating for you?
Fraction: Oh, of course Absolutely. Without a doubt. And Tom, I would imagine for you, even more so.
Brevoort: It is an enormous pain in the ass. [Laughs.]
Fraction: It's the nature of the beast. And I think it comes down to a personal choice that you have to make as a reader. I have a friend who goes into whole media blackouts around the work of certain filmmakers, like, won't even watch trailers. This director's biggest fan in the world, and he doesn't want to hear casting. They just come to it completely cold.
It's the nature of the beast, and it's a bummer. Like I said, Tom, it's got to feel like you have to just leave your Christmas receipts out on the kitchen table every night.
Brevoort: You absolutely do. Also, I'm old enough, sadly, that I remember a day when you didn't know anything until the books were in the 7-11, or in the candy store. You'd go every week; you didn't know exactly what was coming out. You could kind of figure after a while, "Yeah, this is the week that Spider-Man comes out," but you wouldn't know what was in it. A new book would show up and it would just show up, and a book would be canceled, and it would just stop showing up. Every week, you would kind of go, "Wow, it's been a long time an issue of Nova came out. I wonder what's going on with that. They were right in the middle of a continuing story."Uncanny X-Men
#540 cover.To me, that's the natural experience, and it puts the emphasis on the actual content of the issues and the stories. You could never get away with doing the death of Gwen Stacy today. Not only would you have to conceal that she dies in #121, but then you'd be soliciting all the way up until like #124, before that issue even came out. It would just get more and more difficult, because how do you describe the follow-up stories? "It's the funeral of Gwen Stacy!" Well, y'know, we can redact it, we do all the same tricks that we do —we'll black out figures, we won't tell you that much. The double-edged sword is, the better we inform retailers, particularly when something important is going on, the more likely they are to get on board and order up, and be able to sell it.
Fraction: We refer to them as our retail "partners." We have to inform, and educate, and arm them. Ideally, there would be no solicits. We would just be sending things to retailers directly, retailers would understand that there was sort of a sacred covenant there, in the way that we don't go around talking about how many copies any individual retailer sells, they wouldn't go around talking about what the books are going to be, and only the retailers would be specially armed with knowledge, and everything would remain secret, and everyone would be surprised and delighted and entertained. It would save ourselves from having to rewrite the same 17 clichés every month, and everything would be beautiful and nothing would hurt, and comics would still cost a quarter, and blah-da-blah.
Brevoort: It's very difficult in this day and age to surprise the fans in that way. We've said that Steve Rogers will be Captain America in Captain America #1 in July, and it's now April. In my heart, I wish we could have held that until July, because that raises a whole bunch of questions, like the one you asked earlier in the interview, Albert — "What's going to happen with him? What does it mean for Bucky? What's going to happen with the main book? How does the Cap story fit together with Fear Itself? How does it fit together with Avengers?"Interior page from
Fear Itself #1.The real answer to all of those questions is, by the time you get to July or August, you're going to understand it. It's all going to be there. In April, it's a non-issue. But it weighs on the mind. It preys on our fans, in a way that I would rather they be focusing on, "Hey! Bucky's in a Russian gulag! How about that?" It almost steals focus from the story you're telling now; you've teased them with the story that you're going to tell three months from now. By the time we get to there, they're going to be reading the solicits for Cap #4, Cap #5, and going, "Oh my god! What's going to happen when Cap punches the Red Skull?" and they're not even worrying about the actual story you're telling.
Fraction: So the Red Skull's coming back?
Brevoort: [Laughs.] Say no more! Say no more!
Nrama: To that point, though, it seems still possible to legitimately surprise people — in January, though everyone knew someone was dying in Fantastic Four, up until the moment the news broke in the mainstream press, people weren't 100% sure exactly who it would be.
Fraction: David Uzumeri put it together. And put it together very well. Even [Jonathan] Hickman was like, "Well done, sir."Interior pages from Fear Itself #1. That's great. You want people poring over your stuff. Obsessing about it, worrying about it, and wondering about it. You want that to happen. That's like, mission accomplished, when you've got somebody that's breaking the spines of your book to read it and re-read it and re-read it, that's perfect.
Nrama: So would you say that all this information out there is a net benefit, or just simply the natural way things have evolved; neither good nor bad?
Fraction: Ultimately, I think it's a benefit, because it gets people excited. Anytime you've got people talking in April about a comic that comes out in July, that's great.
Nrama: We've got some Twitter questions here, and the first one is from Blankzilla: "Events usually have a lesser-known character rise to prominence. Ms. Marvel in House of M, Noh-Varr in Secret Invasion, etc. Anyone we should watch in FI?"
Fraction: I hope this [prompts people to] stop thinking of Sin as the daughter of the Red Skull and as "the Red Skull."Brevoort: That's a good answer. The first place my mind went is, we've got all the characters that make up The Worthy, and clearly the hope is by the time we're done here, all of them will have made a bigger splash, and be in a better place, than where we started with them. Fraction: Starting with Sin and radiating outwards. When you see them all, when there's no more mystery as to who they all are — when the Serpent is the first, and the Red Skull is the second, and then you see who the remaining seven are, and you get a picture of that army of nine — I think it'll be clear why they were chosen. Why they are "The Worthy." When you see them all, and there's no more silhouettes, and no more guessing — that'll be exciting. It'll be exciting to come out of Fear Itself and to move forward with this.
Nrama: On a similar note, bignerdynerd asks, "Will there be new characters introduced that will continue in the Marvel U beyond FI?"
Brevoort: I think always during the course of events like this, certainly we try to add things to the Marvel Universe. If nothing else, the Serpent is new. He is a villain you have not seen before, and will be a new, major force in the Marvel Universe. So at least on that level, I can immediately say, "yes." Will there be others along the way? Probably. There will certainly be stuff that comes out the other side of this that we've already set up, and are working on quite diligently, even at the moment; a number of titles.
Fraction: [Laughs.] "Fraction knowingly chuckled."
Brevoort: So you'll definitely seen an outgrowth of those things that you haven't seen before.I'm dancing around it, but I guess the answer is really "yes."
Fraction: We set about coming to this as the first time we, as a creative body, had thought about doing an event in a while. We were looking to do something that would set the tempo and the tone and the timbre of the Universe for the next while, in the way that Civil War really kicked off, three, four, five years of story. This is the start of what comes next; this is the start of our next half-decade of stories, in a lot of ways.
Nrama: Next query is from perennial champion question-asker TDSpidey616, who wants to know, "Using my knowledge of Norse myth aka Wikipedia, wondered if Skadi is meant to be the Norse Giant with the same name... associated with skiing and torturing Loki with a snake?"
Fraction: I took the name. Others of The Worthy have "real names," and others have real-ish sounding names. It's sort of like, Marvel Norse.
As the story progresses, we'll maybe be seeing some of the source material from which the Norse myth came, but it's not the Skadi that appears in the Prose Edda, but rather a good sounding name. I liked the connotation, I liked the connections of somebody who finds a snake in a cave — not to put too fine a point on it.
Brevoort: I am very taken with the notion of Sin as the god of skiing. We should do more with that. We should get a skiing scene in before we get to issue #7.Alpha Flight #1
cover.Fraction: I did give Northstar's boyfriend the extreme action sports career, so maybe that can tie in to Greg [Pak] and Fred [Van Lente]'s Alpha Flight somehow.
Brevoort: There we go. It's perfect! It writes itself.
Nrama: Next question, same source: "Odin's rant against man has me curious if Don Blake has a role in Fear Itself?"
Fraction: No. Not particularly.
Nrama: We've got a couple of the "does blank appear in Fear Itself" variety of questions, including MartGray asking, "Will we see how the Marvel UK heroes are dealing with Fear Itself?"
Brevoort: Honestly, it's too soon to say with absolute certainty. Fear Itself is going to permeate throughout any number of titles, and some of that stuff is still being squared up in terms of getting scripts written and so forth. I don't think you'll see the UK heroes play a major role, but that doesn't mean that they won't show up somewhere. It is a global conflict, so at any given point we could cut to somewhere in the United Kingdom, see what's going on there. They don't really have a book that's their book, there's no Captain Britain and MI: 13 at the moment that you would dedicate a tie-in, but it's not impossible that somewhere along the way, they could show up, or we could see what was going on.
Nrama: And ManuelWho asks, "will Kelda play some role in Fear Itself?
Fraction: No, but we'll see her in Thor sooner rather than later, and what her destiny is. I believe The Mighty Thor #3 or #4 she pops up again. She's the gun on the mantle.
Nrama: Another, this time from doordoor123: "Will we see anything from Thunderstrike or Beta Ray Bill at any time during Fear Itself?"
Brevoort: I don't think so.
Fraction: I'm not done yet, and we need an awful lot of pieces on the board for that last issue. That's a pretty great moment of the cavalry coming for Thor, and I love — as is previously established — Beta Ray Bill. Mark that one down for "definite maybe." There are going to be an awful lot of folks in the last two issues, so hopefully fellow hammer-wielders will be included.
Nrama: ManuelWho goes for two with this timeline question: "So, the new series The Mighty Thor, the arc about Galactus is before Fear Itself?"
Fraction: Yes. It takes place before. There is something profound that happens there that is important in Fear Itself, but you will be finding them out in the same month. There's something that happens during "The Galactus Seed" that is very important to Fear Itself, but you won't know it, or need to know it, until it happens, and it happens close to simultaneously. You will see how one feeds to the other, and was true all along.
Nrama: And warmachine15 closes the Twitter questions this month, with, "Is Fear Itself the disaster Steve Rogers saw in Captain America: Reborn?"
Fraction: Nope.
Brevoort: No.Fraction: And like I said, we've got a big road map ahead of us. Brevoort: The disaster he saw in Cap Reborn, he was Captain America at that point, and he's not Captain America now, so right there, that tells you something. Further down the line.
Fraction: Go back and re-read the [Invincible] Iron Man Annual.
Nrama: Any teases towards issue #2 to end things with?
Fraction: We get a reminder of how powerful Odin really is. We get some hints as to why he's been so cantankerous since his return. We get our first tastes of Blitzkrieg USA. And a bunch of The Worthy pop out.
There will be one final reveal for Fear Itself #3, and at that point, everybody else will have had [hammers], if not in Fear Itself #2, than in other places.
Nrama: My friend asked me after reading Fear Itself #1, "Is Odin always such a dick?"
Fraction: It's kind of interesting to me that two JMS issues have made everyone forget 400 issues that came before it. Here's the question: why was he so happy to be dead, and why is he so pissed off to be alive? I've been building towards that for a very long time. It struck me as a Thor reader: "Boy, he sure seemed happy to be dead." As a father, I don't buy it. So there's a reason for it, and that reason is in Fear Itself. Why was he so happy to be dead, and why is he so pissed off to be alive? More will be revealed.Visit Newsarama on FACEBOOK and TWITTER and tell us what you think!

The islamisation of Europe is being promoted in the name of preventing the islamisation of Europe. Soft islamisation is presented as a remedy for jihad. In Germany, there are calls for Islam to be taught in state schools.
The council chairman of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD), Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, has spoken in favour of "across-the-board teaching of Islam" in German schools.
Young Muslim pupils must receive the possibility of engaging critically with the traditions of their religion, said Bedford-Strohm to the magazine "Heilbronner Stimme". "They can learn new things about Islam at the same time - and do this based on the Constitution." That's the best way of immunising young Muslims against the temptations of fundamentalists, he said.
Either the state or representatives of the religious communities should be responsible for the teaching of Islam. "I wish that Muslims in Germany would arrange things so that there are clear points of contact for the state. Then, just like the Christian churches, the Islamic associations could take care of the religious teaching in schools themselves," said the Bavarian state bishop. It was also right, he said, that more Islamic theological faculties should be founded at public universities. "This will allow critical reflection on Islamic tradition in accordance with scientific criteria," emphasised Bedford-Strohm.Source
Meanwhile, in France, the teaching of Arabic is being promoted in French schools by the Arab-Muslim Minister of Education Najat Vallaud-Belkacem. The mainstream conservative politician Annie Genevard denounced these reforms in the French parliament.
"At the same time, you are officially introducing the study of the Arabic language into the national curriculum, and through your reform of secondary schools you are reducing the place of French, of the ancient languages that are our roots, or the European languages such as German which would prosper in bilingual classes. This is sure to divide French people..."Source
Le Monde recently published an opinion piece by Marwan Lahoud and Hakim El Karoui, calling for Arabic to be taught in French schools. This was justified as an anti-radicalisation measure with the claim that, if they didn't learn it in schools, they would learn it in mosques, where they would be subject to influence from jihadis.
In leaving the field clear to religious associations, the Republic gives them resources, because the teaching of Arabic has become an important source of revenue for them. In refusing to teach Arabic, it sends its children into the mosques: a strange idea of being secular and republican. It is time to bring the teaching of Arabic into the school of the Republic.Turning to the problem of jihad violence, it continues:
Among the many explanations given until now, one is often ignored: lack of culture. Ignorance of the culture of origin allows all sorts of charlatans of the terrorist ideology to present themselves as the "true advocates" of Islam, as the "savants of the religion", as the true masters of Arab culture.
No miracle solution exists, of course, but we think that the root of this evil must be attacked: ignorance, which the teaching of Arabic can combat.Source
This is basically the classic Good Cop/Bad Cop routine the Muslims specialise in: jihadis put the frighteners on, Muslims get more cash and privileges. Or to put it another way: it's an extortion racket.

I've been making beats for about half a year now. B.o.B started off messing around with programs like Fruity Loops. When I read about that, that kind of inspired me to try it myself. Since then, I've become hooked. I was just curious if anyone else produces, writes, sings, raps, or does anything music related. If so, post something of yours and I'd be glad to check it out.
Those are a few of my beats so far. Still very much in the learning progress.

Crane Lakes Golf Club head pro Perry fell to Graham Fox on Sunday.
The United States' team of 10 club professionals didn't need much in Sunday's singles play to retain the PGA Cup, and it's a good thing, because the Americans didn't produce much. The U.S., leading 10.5-5.5 after two days and 16 matches pitting two-man teams against each other, earned just 2.5 points — on two wins and a halve — but reached the 13 points necessary to maintain a tie with the Great Britain/Ireland squad and therefore retain the Cup it held after a 2011 PGA Cup victory.
Rod Perry, head pro at Port Orange's Crane Lakes Golf Club, entered Sunday after a win and a halve Saturday (paired with Jeff Sorenson of Blaine, Minn.), but was among the seven Americans who dropped singles matches. Perry never led in Sunday's play and fell to Scotland's Graham Fox, 3-and-2.
It was the first international-team appearance for Perry, who earned his roster berth as the PGA of America's 2012 Player of the Year and winner of the 2013 PGA Professional national championship.
