Gimme A Pigfoot And A Decent Internet Connection

I'm really seriously thinking of going to Lanzarote after seeing your photos, Alan. It looks amazing. I have a kind of love hate relationship with volcanic landscapes, mind you. They can be very oppressive too, but sunshine and sea make a great deal of difference. As you say, great backdrops for art.
ReplyDeleteAlan, we just did the guided tour again today with my niece and her partner. It was quite overcast but very dramatic as usual.Very breezy in Teguise (that rhymes btw), and we had tapas in that little bar where we ate with you and the GLW. There were swarms (yes I think that's the appropriate word) of cyclists coming out of La Santa sports centre.Warming up nicely here though; it was 27 degrees when we got back to Playa Blanca! Still hasn't rained:)

***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation has been provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.***
Since I don't have an extra set of hands or eyes in the back of my head, I always worry about my kids somehow getting out of my field of vision. Maybe I am just terribly over-protective of my littles, but the idea of them getting lost even for a moment terrifies me. Thankfully, this has not happened yet, but I am just waiting for the day that one (or both) of my little ones run off and nearly give me a coronary event. This may happen at the store, or maybe it will be at the park...It could literally happen anywhere, and I definitely don't look forward to it!
Thankfully, Yochi Yochi Shoes offers a cute and effective solution for overly worrisome parents like me. You see, these adorable character shoes come equipped with a built-in squeaker that lets out a wee little chirp with every step a child takes. (No worries, Mom, they can easily be removed to preserve your sanity!)
About Yochi Shoes :
With the squeaking sound of every step, you can find comfort in that fact that your stealthy child will have a hard time getting away from your side without you knowing.
In addition to safety, many doctors have suggested that when children can audibly recognize their footsteps, the sounds can reinforce the natural rhythm of walking and actually help train them to walk.
We strive to create durable products at great prices because we know how fast your children grow up!"
Our Opinion of Yochi Yochi Shoes :
Yochi Yochi Shoes are incredibly durable and well-made, and can definitely stand up to the active lifestyles of small children. They even come packaged in a cute drawstring bag that features the Yochi Yochi logo. This is an extra special added touch that I really appreciate.
Both of my babies have become quite fond of their Yochi Yochi Shoes. Whether it's running errands or outdoor playtime, my babies insist on wearing them. They even love climbing up the slide on our backyard playground, just so they can listen to their shoes chirp!
Yochi Yochi Shoes come in other fun designs, too. In addition to Miss Mushi and Captain Zuga seen here, there are also Prince Kairu and Princess Sakura, which look like frogs and panda bears! So there really is something to delight any little boy or girl in your life. Also, at only $29.99, you won't break the bank.

Andrew Wilkinson
Andrew Wilkinson (1697–1784) was a British politician and racehorse breeder.
He was the son of Charles Wilkinson of Boroughbridge and educated at Clare College, Cambridge (1715) and trained for the law at the Middle Temple (1719).
A resident of Boroughbridge, he was returned in 1735 as Member of Parliament for Aldborough, succeeding his late father-in-law William Jessop. He would retain the seat until 1772, with the exception of the years 1765–1768, when he was displaced by Viscount Villiers. He was Storekeeper of the Ordnance from 1746 to 1762 and from 1765 to 1778.
By his marriage to Barbara Jessop, he inherited Broom Hall and had 7 sons. On his death in 1784, Broom hall was left to his eldest son, Rev. James Wilkinson. His third son, also named Andrew, became a captain in the Royal Navy.

Subwavelength scale antireflection moth-eye structures in silicon were fabricated by a wafer-scale nanoimprint technique and demonstrated an average reflection of 1% in the spectral range from 400 to 1000 nm at normal incidence. An excellent antireflection property out to large incident angles is shown with the average reflection below 8% at 60 degrees. Pyramid array gave an almost constant average reflection of about 10% for an incident angle up to 45 degrees and concave-wall column array produced an approximately linear relation between the average reflection and the incident angles. The technique is promising for improving conversion efficiencies of silicon solar cells.

Funniest photo caption ever LOL. Such fun LOVE the teal and black color palette!!!
What a great photo. Love it. It reminds me of the Eagle photo that I just scrapped. What great eyes the crow has. I like the background paper you used, they make the photo stand out. Love the aqua touches on the black.
Anne Marie, this is fabulous! I LOVE that black! The bird photo is wonderful and I like how you took some of the blue in his black feathers to accent the page. I love the composition, too, and the totally-believable quote!
Great LO. The layers of black papers are great together. Your pic really pops of the page...and the golden eyes most of all. I like the paper you chose for the thought bubble...it looks bubbly too. Really lovely page!
The teal colors against the black is really lovely and I just love the photo. Great title.
So Funny! Yes he is looking back at me and he is so cute! The black paper is great and the teal embellishments really pop. Really loved it.
Awesome! He is really staring you down! Love the teal with the dark color...really makes it "pop"! Love this LO, Anne-Marie!

I know all the local stores in my hometown of Rockford IL that carry the new drinks first. That way I make sure I find it before anybody. At least in Rockford lol. But it feels like the few energy drink company's that are left are just going to go under because nobody buys them anymore and if they do its always a monster. I can definitely see the coca cola owned drinks going under and just sticking with one (nos, full throttle, rockstar) and it would be rockstar. I miss all the old company's like joker, ace, boo-koo, wired, kronik, no fear, jolt and so many more. Energy drink collecting/reviewing used to be way more fun :(
Taste- Practically identical to rockstar punched. So similar that I had to buy a rockstar punched to compare and its so close. They are about the same sweetness (too sweet in my opinion) this has less carbonation but the rockstar goes flat more quickly and the rest I just don't know how to describe. I like rockstar punched better though its more drinkable also even though they both are disgustingly sweet to be great drinks. I guess I'm just not a punch fan because its my friend Tyler's favorite drink. I would actually prefer a Hawaiian punch to either lol. What do you guys think?
Buzz- 8 years and we still got the same tried and true monster energy
blend that never fails. 2500 mgs glucose, l-carnitine, caffeine,
glucuronolactone, inositol, gaurana and maltidextrin. 200 mgs ginseng.
1000 mgs taurine and 100% of all your B vitamins. This is one reason
monster is the best and most successful energy drinks companys. Because
when they have a good thing, they keep it the same. More things in life
should be that way, dont you agree?
Total amounts of mgs-3729.7
Over all rating-8/10

ST. LOUIS — Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto, of Poulsbo, Wash., won his fifth Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, race Saturday night at Edward Jones Dome before a record-breaking 59,742 fans.
Geico Honda's Justin Barcia, of Ochlocknee, Ga., won his third consecutive Eastern Regional Supercross Lites Class Main Event and extended his point lead to 18 points.
JGRMX/Toyota/Yamaha's Davi Millsaps, of Murrieta, Calif., won the Nuclear Cowboyz® Holeshot Award with Villopoto and Muscle Milk Honda's Justin Brayton, of Murrieta, Calif., in tow. JGRMX/Toyota/Yamaha's James Stewart started near the back of the pack and crashed on the opening lap. Villopoto, who has never won in St. Louis, quickly moved into second place. On Lap 2, Villopoto gained the lead after passing Millsaps and began opening a sizeable lead.
Brayton passed Millsaps on Lap 8 for second place, and on the same lap Red Bull KTM's Ryan Dungey, of Belle Plaine, Minn., passed Millsaps for third place. On Lap 13, Dungey took over second place, moving Brayton back to third. On his charge back from near last place, Stewart passed Millsaps for fifth place. Dungey made a late-race run at Villopoto but was unable to challenge for the lead.
"The track was tough tonight," said Villopoto. "I tried to ride smart and consistent, paying attention to where (Ryan) Dungey was at. I was able to hold on for another win and my first-ever in St. Louis"
Dungey earned his seventh podium finish of the year with a second place. Brayton finished a season-best third place.
"It was tough to make passes out there," said Dungey. "I am happy with second tonight even though I wasn't able to get to the lead. This track is one of a kind, and I had a blast riding on it."
Barcia made a statement when the gates dropped for the Eastern Regional Supercross Lites Class Main Event as he captured his second consecutive Nuclear Cowboyz Holeshot Award. Behind him, Red Bull KTM's Ken Roczen, of Murrieta, Calif., and GEICO Honda's Justin Bogle, of Cushing, Okla., followed in second and third, respectively.
While Barcia extended his lead, Bogle stalked Roczen for several laps, and on the last lap while setting up his move, he suffered a crash. As a result, he lost third place to Rockstar Energy Racing Suzuki's Blake Wharton, of Beaumont, Texas, and fourth place to Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Darryn Durham, of Butler, Pa., where they would finish. Bogle was forced to settle for fifth, and Roczen finished a season-best second place.
"It was great to get the holeshot and check out tonight," said Barcia. "The dirt here in St. Louis is amazing. I am not changing anything as we head to the next race; if I keep doing this, I should win the championship."

Thursday, November 7
7:30 pm Oklahoma at Baylor (-15, 72 1/2) - Thursday night starts off with a real blast as the Sooners seek to establish dominance in the Big 12, though 7-0 Baylor, at home and undefeated, will certainly have other ideas. Huge line here due to Baylor's seemingly unstoppable offense (over 700 yards per game) will test the Oklahoma defense because the Bears are leading the nation in scoring at a wicked pace - 63.9 ppg.
Having had issues moving the ball against West Virginia and TCU - though they won both - and in their 36-20 loss to Texas, the Sooners may find the Baylor defense giving, though not necessarily breakable.
While Baylor is a team that the Sooners will have to find ways to slow down, they had some practice in their last win, a 38-30 squeaker over Texas Tech, and an additional week of practice to prepare, as has Baylor. The Bears will score plenty, but so will the Sooners, who haven't given up more than 36 points this season. Their defense will keep this one close and exciting.
Prediction: Bears 44 Sooners 37
Oregon is seeking a trip to the national championship and Stanford is the team that kept them from that last season, knocking off the Ducks, 17-14, in overtime nearly a year ago. Since then, the Ducks have reeled off 10 straight victories, including this year's 8-0 mark.
Will history repeat and keep the Ducks from a shot at the national title they've been chasing for five years? Unlikely. Even though this game is at Stanford, Oregon has had them in their sights since Spring practice and will not be denied this time.
Prediction: Ducks 38 Cardinal 24

Friday, November 8
8:30 pm Louisville (-28, 49) at Connecticut - Louisville's loss a few weeks ago to UCF derailed any hopes of going unbeaten and maybe having a shot at a national title game, which was, at best, a long shot.
With nothing to lose and a possible BCS game to gain (they'll need help), the Cardinals should be loose and lively against the 0-7 Huskies, who were last seen being dismantled by UCF on October 26, 62-17.
The once-proud Huskies have fallen a long way in the last two years and this game will be yet another nail in their quickly-closing coffin.
Prediction: Cardinals 48 Huskies 13
12:00 pm Missouri (-14 1/2, 56) at Kentucky - 0-4 in the SEC and just 2-6 overall, the Kentucky program is in need of a conference win, though this may not be the spot for that. Later in the month, the Wildcats may have a better chance against Vanderbilt, Georgia or Tennessee, while their hoops team makes most of the headlines in the Bluegrass state.
Despite their conference failures, the Wildcats did come close in losses to South Carolina (35-28) and Mississippi State (28-22), and both of those games were on the road, whereas they are hosting the Tigers.
Missouri's only loss of the season was a fourth-quarter and OT meltdown two weeks back against South Carolina, a deflating, 27-24, defeat, but the defense showed plenty of moxie last week, hammering Tennessee, 31-3. The Mizzou are still in the driver's seat to meet Alabama for the SEC championship and a win here is mandated, though they will likely find the Wildcats pretty geared up. Missouri will escape, but be hard-tested.
Prediction: Tigers 35 Wildcats 27
Last week, they pummeled Arkansas on the road, 35-17, when favored by just nine points, and here they are just over a TD favorite, which is something of a lark, as the Vols were just pounded by Missouri last week, 31-3.
Tennessee's young team is very green and unsteady, especially on offense, and the Tigers should have their way with them, keeping in mind that an Auburn win here and next week at home vs. Georgia, gives them a huge shot at Alabama on November 30.
Prediction: Tigers 34 Volunteers 10
The Trojans may have the best defense in the conference, yielding just 18.7 points and 323.6 yards on average. Cal hasn't shown much of anything, compiling a 1-8 record, their only win a 37-30 win over Portland State in week two. The Golden Bears came close in last week's 33-28 home loss to Arizona, but there really isn't much of a case for the Bears winning here against a hot USC squad.
Cals defense is porous, allowing 42.8 ppg, one of the worst in Division-1. They should make the improving USC offense look awe-inspiring.
Prediction: Trojans 42 Golden Bears 6

Yesterday word surfaced that Apple was filing a patent suit against Samsung. The suit stems from allegations that Samsung is copying Apple intellectual property with the design of some of the Samsung Galaxy series smartphones. Anyone can see the resemblance between the two in the photo below.
Samsung has vowed to fight Apple's suit with one of its own. According to the AFP, Samsung suspects that Apple is violating its wireless technology patents. This suit is interesting considering that Apple is the second largest customer for Samsung and has spent huge sums of money on components from Samsung.
Apple accused Samsung of copying the look, feel, design, packaging and user interface of the iPhone. Samsung issued a statement reading, "Samsung will respond actively to this legal action taken against us through appropriate legal measures to protect our intellectual property."

Review: Solomon Grundy trade paperback (DC Comics)
Monday, August 02, 2010
Watching Solomon Grundy stomp around the DC Universe, often illuminated by the glow of Green Lantern Alan Scott's green ring, I imagined this must be the appeal of the Incredible Hulk's more rampaging moments. In a nutshell, Solomon Grundy follows the swamp monster from battle extraordinaire to battle extraordinaire with some of DC Comics biggest bruisers. Those looking for deep insights into international politics or ruminations on the nature of superhero storytelling can go elsewhere -- Solomon Grundy is all about the action, with occasional breaks for flashback scenes of nightmarish Victorian demon possessions.
This isn't usually what I favor -- the dark comedic violence of Final Crisis Aftermath: Run! didn't amuse me, and the horror-filled Infinite Crisis Aftermath: The Spectre turned my stomach. Kollins achieves just the right tone of bizarre (and even guest-star Bizarro-type) horror humor, however, with art increasingly reminiscent of Doug Mahnke's Seven Soldiers: Frankenstein (and Frank's here, too), just slightly more cartoony. Kolins throws at Grundy not only Bizarro and Frankenstein, but also the Demon, Killer Croc, Amazo, really everyone short of Lobo; what results is such a fun rampage that one can't help but sit back, enjoy, and duck under the occasional piece of flying debris.
Kolins strings together these battles with a vague storyline in which Grundy's human form Cyrus Gold can free himself if he finds his own murderer and the weapon they used. Why Gold gets the opportunity now (besides proximity to Blackest Night) is never quite clear, nor is it clear how the Phantom Stranger finds out about it all. The identity of who killed Gold comes out in the end, but Kolins leaves vague the exact demon involved in Gold's resurrection, preserving perhaps incidental ties to Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers.
Solomon Grundy is hardly a villain that needs explanation. Even as I appreciated how Kolins carefully acknowledges a number of Grundy's previous appearances, I've no great expectation that anything Kolins establishes here about Grundy will necessarily be referenced in Grundy's future stories. There's a cogent mystery in the book, and if the reader cares to take the time to reorganize Gold's out-of-synch flashbacks, there's a bit about how Gold sought out his long-lost mother and helped murder his sister's abusive husband, but none of it amounts to much -- again, the book simply goes out on a lead-in to Blackest Night note. The real delight of the book is in the mayhem, and the reader ought not expect much more than that.
I'd mention one other strong aspect about Solomon Grundy, however, is Kolins's use of Alan Scott. In various modern age portrayals, Scott has come off as super-serious (often in comparison to the more friendly Golden Age Flash Jay Garrick) and a dabbler in the supernatural. Both of those elements are in play here, as Scott spends most of the book denouncing Gold's attempt at redemption even as the Phantom Stranger draws Scott further into the journey. Scott suffers some personal injury about halfway through the book, and the strength he subsequently shows is significant; I don't know that I'd invite Alan Scott over for a party, but Kolins certainly demonstrates this Green Lantern is not one to be messed with.
Be not fooled -- Solomon Grundy is Blackest Night bait of the worst kind, an eight-chapter story that changes really nothing in the DC Universe and is highly unlikely ever to be touched upon again. That said, this story is also a whole lot of fun, and Kolins artwork looks as good here, if not better, than ever before. If you're looking for a fun, light read, nothing wrong with this book for that purpose.

There's just one panel in a one-page recap of some of Solomon Grundy's incarnations, that mentions Opal City and shows the tip of Jack Knight's Starman staff. Not sure that's quite enough of a Starman connection to get you reading this one; for all of Justice League: Cry for Justice's warts, that book feels more like a part of the Starman story than this does. This is a good monster fight-fest, though.
ReplyDeleteMost certainly so (and, consider, the hoards of fans who recommend Starman, plus the faith DC has in it to release the omnibus editions, can't all be wrong). I had considered the first trade (issues #0-5) the weakest and most super-hero-y, but the omnibus solves that by going up to issue #16. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteWhat is truly amazing about Starman is how mapped out it was. I mean in those early issues. You pretty much see what Jack Knight will come across in the whole run of the comic. Beautifully written and the one comic I can't recommend enough.
Plus you have a Hellboy, Batman and Starman team upI read pretty much all the Starman issues at the time, but I think those Starman Omnibuses may have caught tie-in issues I've never even heard of. Impressive work all around.
It's hard to think of another book that deserves the omnibus treatment now that they're collecting JLA, too. Maybe the current Green Lantern series, or Mark Waid's Flash run from Return of Barry Allen through Dead Heat or so.I'd go so far as to suggest Animal Man Omnibuses. Ideally, I dream of Johns' earlier Flash getting the treatment, but when such a big deal has been made of Barry's return and a possible movie, I doubt DC will make much room for Wally on their slate - at least not in so high profile a fashion.
ReplyDeleteThere are four books that had massive influence on at least the last 20 years at DC.
1. Waid's Flash - Grant Morrison is on record as saying it inspired him to update the JLA and led to widescreen storytelling. I think it is evident in the DC work of Peyer, Johns and Loeb's Superman/Batman.
2. Starman - a hero with a non-heroic personality, a story planned to be told over 7 years, the revelance of the JSA in the modern day. Johns, Goyer, Andreyko, Curtis-Johnson and Pfiefer.
3. JLI - teams that are built for fun as well as danger. Dan DiDio, Winnick, Palmiotti and Gray.
4. Suicide Squad - I would argue that the work of John Ostrander is the single most influential of all of these. Ostrander began a story-verse where he carried supporting characters from title to title and developed them over years. Examples of this are Father Craemer, the Hayoth, Cliff Carmichael etc. Greg Rucka followed this approach like a religion - you can see planning for his Checkmate run in his Batman work, through His Wonder Woman run and beyond. The spirit of the Squad lives on in Gail Simone's Six and Birds of Prey, Winnick's Outsiders, All through 52, Brubaker's Batman, Gotham Central, Johns Flash work, Meltzer's Identity Crisis, Andreyko's Manhunter, Catwoman again. Hell, there's an arguement to be made for it's influence on the Marvel universe too.
Honourable mention to O'Neil Question and Chuck Dixon's commanding grip on the Batbooks for more than a decade.Collectededitions - I remember trying to track down those issues of Shazam. Which was pretty hard since the store I went to at the time would not get a lot of extra issues for that series.
I also like the fact that the final Starman Omnibuses will include that issue from Blackest Night. Since that was the only issue of Blackest Night I read. Nice closure to the whole series.Paul Kupperberg wrote Checkmate (not beloved by me). Ostrander and his late wife Kim Yale also wrote Manhunter. Cary Bates wrote Captain Atom for much of the run, but Ostrander did write the final arc setting Nathanial Adam up to become Monarch (which DC editorial consequently ignored in favour of buggering up the Hawk and Dove book).
The Ostrander-verse was next seen in The Spectre series and finally Martian Manhunter. Both are worth tracking down and I'd be unsurprised if the Spectre run is never fully reissued in collections. It is undoubtedly one of the great DC runs.Father Craemer, the squad's Chaplain (how awesome is that concept) became the confidant of Jim Corrigan. Count Vertigo's story continues in the Spectre too.
The Israeli superteam, the Hayoth appear in both Spectre and Martian Manhunter.
Suicide Squad also has a connection to the Power of the Atom series, but I don't recall if Ostrander wrote that series at all.Getting things back to Solomon Grundy, I see this book as DC's reward to Kolins for good and faithful service. Writers get rewarded by having all the their back catalogue in print (Robinson, Morrison) and many artists given the chance to choose their own subject matter, just love drawing monsters fighting monsters. Mike Mignola is the foremost proponent of this concept. I met Aaron Lopresti at a Sydney Comic Con in the 90's and that guy is just loves himself a monster book (he was most famous for Sludge at the time). Seeing his Garbage Man art from SDCC this year, I wonder why DC doesn't just let him draw Swamp Thing in his triumphant return to the DCU.
On the flipside, DC also punishes writers by making sure their back catalogue is out of print and not added to - not naming names .Agreed one big stumbling block to ever seeing the original Birds of Prey material back in print is DC's relationship with Chuck Dixon. Likely why we won't see a "Death of Green Arrow" collection any time soon, either (besides the fact that's only about five of us wishing for one).
If Garbage Man does well, I don't see how DC can't do a Swamp Thing book. But, Garbage Man kind of reminds me of Breach -- let's not have a sub-Swamp Thing book (like the sub-Captain Atom book); DC might as well do the real thing.

We have had some fine days in Praha. Our host Petr Sindelar has been very helpful all the way, and the korrespondence with him before our arrival has been pleasent. The appartment fulfilled completely our expectations, and we loved the location in a quiet neighborhood just 1 km from the center. We very much recommend this place. Bent Erik and Dorrit from Denmark.
The hospitality was great! Petr was thorough, kind and helpful. The location is nice, right next to a big park and a 20 minute walk from the historical center. Thanks again.
We (three people) had this property in early May 2014. It has things going for it - good location, has everything, good hot water, clean enough. Petr is very welcoming and helpful. What is a problem is that it is very small. It is not an apartment. The main sleeping area is a 'loft' reached by a ladder, and you must crawl to the mattress. The sofa in the room converts to a bed. Our recommendation - not for children, and inconvenient for older or bigger people. For a young couple or friends - great.
We had an enjoyable stay in Prague with my two boys. The property is at the central of the city, within walking distance of the underground station to most main lines connection, very convenient for for food shoping. A corner shop just opposite the property.
The property is rather small just behind a car park, can be noisy at time. The property is generally clean but the kitchen and shower room's sink are really tiny, with no microwave or oven either.
Petr is a nice and friendly person. He attended to his clients for any problems during your to ensure everything is okay. This is a place more suitable for couples or single.
Our family had a wonderful stay in Petr's flat. We had everything we needed and Petr was very kind and welcoming. We felt like we were really experiencing life in Prague - shopping and catching the subway like locals. So easy. The only problem we had was not staying long enough! Thanks very much Petr.
A very good experience altogether. The flat was clean and comfortable. Well located. Petr was an excellent host. I would recommend this flat to anyone.
Location is good - 20-min walk to city centre. Particularly like the private parking space and good internet connection.
This apartment was just perfect for us. Clean, central situated, save parking area, WIFI and way more... thanks Petr!
I stayed at Central and quiet apartment in July 2012.
I really enjoyed it. I was by myself so it was ideal. It was a great location for me as I walk everywhere and it was easy to get around. Petr was lovely and checked in on me to make sure I was alright. If I ever go to Prague, I will be staying in the same apartment again.
