A Real Estate Purchase Agreement is also known as a/an:
A Real Estate Purchase Agreement can be used for the sale of finished residential property. This agreement details the rights and obligations of the buyer and seller before the title can be legally transferred.
Some common reasons for using a Real Estate Purchase Agreement include:
You may use a Real Estate Purchase Agreement for any type of residential property purchase or sale, as long as the home has either been previously owned, or construction will be finished prior to the closing date on the contract.
A real estate purchase contract includes information such as:
You can also customize your Real Estate Purchase Agreement to include other elements such as warranties, inspections, title requirements, and escrow.
Escrow is an arrangement often made during the purchase of real estate. It refers to the process where a third-party (called an escrow agent) takes custody of the property until the closing or possession date.
This arrangement keeps the property, and any funds, from changing hands until all aspects of the agreement are met, such as home inspections, insurance information, and financing.
Earnest money, sometimes known as an earnest payment, is the deposit which a buyer puts down to show their interest and seriousness in purchasing the residential property. If the contract is fulfilled, the amount is credited to the purchase price. If the sale falls through, the money is given back to the buyer.
Financing refers to the process of paying off a large purchase (like a house) over time rather than in a lump sum. This process, also called amortization, usually involves borrowing money from a third-party like a bank or loan office to pay for the home, and then the borrower pays back the third-party lender.
There are four ways to finance the purchase of a home in a real estate purchase contract. Which method you choose to use depends on the financial positions of both the buyer and seller.
Your options include:
Third Party Financing: This is when a bank or other lending institution provides a loan to the buyer which must be paid back over time. This is the most common way to purchase a new home, but approval depends on the buyer's credit rating, job history, and current financial situation.
Seller Financing: Sometimes, a seller will provide financing to a buyer who is unable to obtain a loan from a financial institution. This is often the case when a seller has paid off their mortgage, and a buyer simply pays them a pre-determined amount in intervals until the agreed upon price has been paid in full.
Assumption: Assumption is when a buyer assumes, or takes over, the seller's mortgage. This means that the home loan transfers to their name, and they take financial responsibility for the remainder of the mortgage. Assumption often requires that the buyer is qualified to take over the loan under the lender's guidelines.
No Financing: No financing is when a buyer will be purchasing the residential property in full using their own funds and will not require a loan.
An option to terminate allows the buyer to end the Real Estate Purchase Agreement prior to closing the sale, by providing written notice to the seller. You may either include a term in your contract allowing the buyer to have an option period, or you may rely on your state's real estate laws to protect the buyer where needed.
If a buyer requests the option to terminate, the seller may request a fee for doing so. It is up to the buyer and seller to decide if that amount will be credited to the purchase price once the sale has been confirmed.

Silver & Gold: DIY Decorations for the Holidays and Beyond
It's time to break out the the holiday decor! This year, add a few elements of sparkle with these simple DIY's. Since they don't scream Christmas, they will last well into the new year and can reemerge for birthdays and celebrations throughout the coming months.
Glitter, ribbons, tinsel, paint: the materials needed for these little projects are quite simple and inexpensive. In fact, many of them are things you might already have around the house.
For an elegant centerpiece (that won't wilt) paint a handful of pinecones white, dip the tips in glitter, and gather them together in a bowl, as shown in image 3.
A roll of gold washi tape can be used in numerous ways throughout the holiday's and afterward. Anything from solid gold tape to gold and silver patterned tapes are great for gifts and other decorations.
Make the holidays a party with metallic tassels. You can use string, fabric or tissue paper for different affects.

John Coulthart has just posted his cover design for the re-release of Jeff VanderMeer's novel, Shriek: An Afterword. This is the cover image, by Ben Templesmith — it shows a mysterious "gray cap," one of an oppressed underground people who have this bizarre mushroom tech that will allow them to take over a city. You can see the full glory of Coulthart's book cover below.
I love this design, with its webby typewriter look and abstract expressionist mutant.
Here's a quick summary of VanderMeer's surreal tale:
Shriek: An Afterword relates the scandalous, heartbreaking, and horrifying secret history of two squabbling siblings and their confidantes, protectors, and enemies. Narrated with flamboyant intensity and under increasingly urgent conditions by ex-society figure Janice Shriek, this afterword presents a vivid gallery of characters and events, emphasizing the adventures of Janice's brother Duncan, a historian obsessed with a doomed love affair and a secret that may kill or transform him; a war between rival publishing houses that will change Ambergris forever; and the gray caps, a marginalized people armed with advanced fungal technologies who have been waiting underground for their chance to mold the future of the city.
You can buy the book here.

Adding up the hours it takes to make the TOP party and fashion show a success would result in an astonishing number. Amortize those hours over the fun created and the benefit to the Durango Arts Center (and thus us), and any accountant would call those hours a good investment.
The event, in its third year, took place Friday at the DAC. But TOP, an event by New Face Productions, actually began in the spring, when area artists picked up their canvas, a high-quality T-shirt. From there, the skys the limit, with the only requirement that at least some part of the shirt becomes an element in the final outfit.
The sheer creativity and expertise is awe-inspiring, especially for folks like me who dont have a creative bone in their bodies. Three judges, Ilze Aviks, Susan Rogers and Becky Surmeier had their work cut out for them, choosing entries for both a silent auction and the fashion show and live auction. Each of the judges created a piece of her own, demonstrating their own talents. Rogers literally unraveled the T-shirt and crocheted a top using the fabric, and Surmeier used some of the fabric as the foundation for a glitzy bracelet.
Members of the organizing committee, which was led by Regina Hogan for a successful second year, created a dramatic exhibit showcasing the silent-auction items in the Barbara Conrad Gallery. They used bright colors and fabric, feathers and an inspired blowup of details from the pieces. I guess between Hogans years as a curator and Diane Welles as a professional costumer, the committee was as loaded with talent as the entrants.
The other committee members were Carol Salomon, Debbie Wright, Jane Gould, Karen Thompson, Krista Harris, Pamela Hasterok, Sandra LeFevre, Christina Erteszek, Heather Martinez, Kate Skrainka, Mary Nowotny, JM Jones and Phyllis Max (who could seriously have a career as a model).
Jimmy Nicholson of Durangourmet provided an enticing array of tapas, including cured smoked paprika tuna loin with roasted red, yellow and poblano peppers; five-spice duck breast with hoisin-sauce glace; goat cheese-mushroom-arugula empanadas; tandoori chicken and raita; Moroccan olive pesto-grilled bread; smoked beef tenderloin with romesco sauce; and golden beets with goat cheese dressing.
For a sweet or table of sweets after the show, there were platters of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory truffles, cookies by Barbara Mills and pastries by Bread. Stan Crapo of Star Liquors donated the wine.
The artists who had pieces selected for the silent auction included Michal Abraham, Betty Bozeman, Daria Caruso, Krista Harris, Elizabeth Hogan, Karole Mazeika, Dottie Robinson, Jill Carlson, Eleanor Greenbank, Bethany Bachman, Greta Kirker, Nancy Portera and Eliane Viner. Robinson won the silent auction Peoples Choice Award, which came with a $500 prize.
I have high hopes for the future of the textile arts after seeing what Yan Yan Harris, a Bayfield High School student, created in her gorgeous embroidered piece, and Allee McKowns Sassy Skirt, which the Durango High School student modeled in the fashion show. Fort Lewis College student Vivian Krishnans electric yellow Circle Dress was a showstopper. Sheri Rochford Figgs, Willa Beatty and Hasterok sponsored the three students entries.
The DACs Artistic Director Theresa Carson hosted the fashion show and live auction (Best line? Hey, look, it covers your butt!). Calvin and Pat Story handled the auctioneering. The event was sold out, with 165 tickets snapped up, and everyone enjoyed watching friends and neighbors strut their stuff on the catwalk.
Mother and daughter duo Judy Hayes and Moni Grushkin really worked their tops by Maureeen Keilty and Carlson, respectively, but Cindy Cortese was no slouch demonstrating the exotic reversible jacket and boa created by Holly Laird.
Other designers who had items juried into the live auction were Portera, Alisa Hjermstad, Elizabeth Somers and Julie Hannigan, chairwoman Hogan (two pieces), Deborah Gorton, Kay Harper Roberts, JM Jones, Salomon, Kelly Horrigan and Gould. Barbara Belanger, who created the Peoples Choice winner last year, had not one, not two, but three entries in the live auction, the third in collaboration with her daughter, Allee. That final piece, a gorgeous tangerine dress with a variety of textures, bead and yarn embellishments, was modeled by Shanan Campbell Wells and brought in a pretty penny.
Lisa Selfs Midnight Tidepool, Part 1, a hand-dyed and screen printed tunic with a dramatic fringy scarf, which she modeled with panache, brought down the house and won her the live auction Peoples Choice Award prize of $500.
The other models were Charlene Geiss, Dolores Overton, Emily Cameron, Guyneth Zimmerman, Lauren Catlin, Kara Komick, Mary Chandler, Petra Hinke, Shaheen Hood, Alyse Neubert, Ellen Tomsic, Gayle Owen, Marcelina Chavira and Rubi Starr.
Glamming them up with hair and makeup were Chandler and Jane Jaber of Hello, Gorgeous and Regina Roark, hair, and Shiloh Ketron, makeup, from Shampoo.
At this point, I think you all are getting my point about the hundreds of hours involved in this event. Some of the pieces alone took dozens upon dozens of hours to complete.
Deborah Demme and Michael Thunder also stepped up, gave space, storage and products to support TOP.
Events such as this dont happen without major support, and First National Bank of Durango stepped up to be the title sponsor.
Where does the money go, you ask?
In the last year, TOP proceeds were used to sponsor the Textiles Today and HOT! 50th Anniversary of Studio Glass exhibits, two standouts at the DAC. If you havent enjoyed a First Thursdays Art Walk downtown yet, the next chance is on Oct. 4, when the DAC and other art galleries introduce new exhibits and artists. TOP funds also support that program.
We believe that art is an important and essential element of any thriving community, Hogan said.
This is one group of volunteers who put their time, talents and money into a cause they believe in, and their investment benefits anyone who loves the arts in this town.
Thanks to all of you, for a fun party and for providing these wonderful shows and events for us all to enjoy. Those exhibits were utterly marvelous and of a quality one can hardly imagine happening in a town this size.
The hillsides are glowing for the birthdays of Jim Burpee, Judith Reynolds, Paul Plvan, Janine Bulen, Christina Chambers, Gary Goold, Stephanie Ogier, Jennie Agee, Luke Jernigan, Laura Pritchard, Kenny Schramko, Bob Galbraith, Jan Kyser and Joan Southcotte.
Kudos to the jewelry artists who put on the eighth annual Style N Stones on Sept. 14. Mary Orsini, Pat Lorenzen, Nancy Macho, Carolyn Plested, Susie Fisher, Ann Arens and last, but far from least, the late Gail Short, put on an amazing display of jewelry, a yummy repast by Hot Tomatoes and even had Stan Crapo himself pouring the wine he donated.
Between the door receipts and the percentage of jewelry sales donated, the Durango Arts Center and the Discovery Museum will receive some nice donations. They already had donated more than $35,000, so this will probably bring their philanthropic largesse to more than $40,000 during the last eight years. Bravo!
Heres how to reach me: firstname.lastname@example.com; phone 375-4584; mail items to the Herald; or drop them off at the front desk. Please include contact names and phone numbers for all items.
I am happy to consider photos for Neighbors, but they must be high-quality, high-resolution photos (at least 1 MB of memory) and include no more than three to five people. I need to know whos who, left to right, and whom to credit with the photo. Candid photos are better than posed.

March 29, 2009
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – In its first full team competition of the 2009 Outdoor season, the MIT women's track and field team took second place at the Point Loma Nazarene University Collegiate Challenge. The meet was highlighted by a pair of NCAA Provisional qualifying performances by Jacqui Wentz and Emily Hwang, as well as a number of new team records.
Hwang set a new Institute standard in the pole vault, clearing 12-0.75 feet more than nine inches better than any other vaulter. Karin Fisher (10-3.25) and Hazel Briner (9-9.25) also placed in the top 10 of the pole vault.
Wentz set a new personal record in the 3000m Steeplechase, finishing over 51 seconds faster than her closest competitor with a time of 11:00.30. That time is the second-fastest in MIT history. Wentz also took first at 800 meters, finishing in 2:18.69. Adrienne Bolger joined Wentz in the top five of that event, running 2:21.78 for fifth place.
The Engineers also dominated the 5000m and 1500m, led by Anna Holt-Gosselin's first and second-place showings respectively. Gosselin was one of four Tech runners in the top six of the 1500m, finishing second with a time of 4:43.58. Jennifer Doyle (4:45.11), Bolger (4:46.44) and Katherine Eve (4:46.50) had impressive performances as well. Gosselin then set a new personal best, winning the 5000m in 17:59.21. Tania Morimoto (18:42.83) and Jennifer Doyle (18:44.75) crossed the finish in third and fourth respectively.
The Cardinal and Grey's 4x400 meter relay squad set a new program standard, running a sub-four minute race for the first time in Institute history, to finish second with a time of 3:58.35.
The host Sea Lions took home the team title, outscoring the runner-up Engineers, 303-267.50.
MIT will return to action at next weekend's Engineer's Cup hosted by WPI on Saturday, April 4.

WOODBURN — As far back as historical records show, and as far back as anyone can remember, Woodburn has had the oldest church in Clarke County.
LaVera Cottrell of Woodburn was a member of the church and remembers attending services as a child.
"We had a woodburning stove, and someone came and built the fire the night before mass. We had mass on Sunday, but for my parents, before that, when they first built it, they just had a priest come from Chariton on the railroad, come up on the train, and had it about once a month."
Cottrell is currently treasurer for the St. Mary's Historical Church committee.
Even though regular services for St. Mary's Historical Church ended more than three decades ago, the church still has a role in community.
While the church doesn't have regular services, it does offer nondenominational wedding ceremonies. For fundraising, every year, there is a homecoming event held during the fourth Saturday in August. The event features a food stand and quilt raffle.
At this time, it's the church's source of income.
St. Mary's Church was founded in 1878 by railroad workers to serve 36 families of Irish descent.
Construction of the church is dated back to 1870 with native lumber costing $1,200.
The frame building was blown down a few years later, and eventually rebuilt double in size.
The three-room chapel has a Gothic design with a vaulted ceiling and stained-glass windows. The church also has a confessional.
In November 1981, the bishop discontinued masses and many parishioners began attending St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Osceola.
After 10 years of vacancy, the church building was in need of many repairs. Cottrell said closed churches are normally torn down.
A group of local residents asked the diocese in Des Moines for the church to be deeded to the city of Woodburn.
In 1992, a committee was formed to oversee the church's upkeep, with no expense to the city.
"Then, there was a committee of five that was appointed, and we were to look after it for no cost to the city," Cottrell said. "And, if it got to the place where we couldn't maintain it, then they could do with it what they wanted to."
Cottrell's granddaughter Brandi Kastler is a member of the church's five-member committee.
Kastler said the church is special to her, and she has many memories of its restoration.
"When I was younger, I didn't realize what we were doing," Kastler said. "I was up here all the time with grandma. … Well, we were actually restoring it at that time. You know, so I spent a lot of time up here as a kid, and my mom actually helped grandma and redid all the stations of the cross, all the gold leaf."
Kastler got married at the church in 2003. She said her wedding was small and intimate.
The inside of the church is a beige color Kastler's mother painted before her wedding. Before the beige color, it was brownish-red.
Another one of Kastler's memories includes the event, "Three Nights of Music for God," that was put on by the three churches in Woodburn.
As for the 14 stations of the cross, which all Catholic churches have, Cottrell said no one can remember how old St. Mary's are, and they can't find historical records.
While many repairs have been made to the church, a future project is fixing a portion of the roof near the cupola.
While the church isn't an official historical landmark, yet, Kastler said she has talked with Ann Diehl, commission chairperson of Osceola Historic Preservation Commission, about getting the process started.
"Grandma said years back they tried," Kastler said.
When a comment was made about the church having as good a shot as any on becoming a historical landmarks, Kastler replied, "I think so, too."

Check it out, its RU's turn! Shock of shocks, he picked Deadpool.
digital copy availible here
Ze rules:
Post your review in the forum thread or in the comments section here on the front page.
Review as often or as little as you like. Once you've posted 5 reviews, you will be awarded 1 pick. You can post 5 reviews, right? That's a totally achievable goal and with day and date digital releases becoming the standard, it shouldn't matter if your shop ordered enough copies of this weeks comic or not.
When multiple Review Groupers have posted 5 (or more) qualifying reviews, they will be awarded their pick in the order that they qualified. What constitutes a qualifying review? Any review posted (with a score on a scale from 0-10, that's right 0!) within 1 calendar month of the thread going live. Reviews are to be at least 5 sentences long. It shows that a) you have at least read this week's pick and b) you have some unique insight into the comic.
Reviews posted while waiting in line for your pick will be applied to your next pick.
I'll be keeping track of everyone's progress with the newly christened Spreadsheet of Fantastic (RIP, Spreadsheet of Doom) and reporting the results in the Current Members list in the weekly OP. When it's your turn to make a pick, I will PM you. If you do not respond to me by Midnight EST the following Sunday, you will lose your pick and I will start a poll to determine that week's selection.
Any week in which we do not have a Review Grouper with 5 qualifying picks, we will determine the week's comic via poll.
If it's your week to pick, remember to keep it under $3.99.

by Stephen Day » Thu Jul 18, 2013 8:32 pmI've never been a huge fan of Deadpool. I've always found that a little of the character goes a long way. Not to say I can't enjoy a story featuring Deadpool, I do enjoy him as a once in awhile sort of thing. With that in mind, I really enjoyed this issue -- what a fun comic.
I loved the whole 70s feel of this story, there were so many moments that had me laughing. The baseball team that was a Warriors reference was one of them. As was the entire love scene with Carmelita. There were just so many great moments.
8 out of 10.

by guitarsmashley » Tue Jul 23, 2013 9:52 pmI have no opinion of Deadpool. At all. I haven't read a bad issue of Deadpool or issue with Deadpool in it because I've read Max, Uncanny X-Force and this series but this series has me reading because Brian Posehn is awesome. I heart Brian Posehn, what I don't heart are these throwback issues. The first one was alright but this one was a complete chore to get through. Some great lines here and there and cameos but overall it's a hard issue to get through. Its drawn and designed well but way too much dialogue and exposition. The issue was a little to Meta for me to enjoy as much as I have enjoyed the other issues of this series.
by GHERU » Thu Jul 25, 2013 7:44 amDeadpool Vol 4 #13:
I know I am in the minority with this, but I am still not sold on this new Deadpool series. Yes, 13 issues in I should have made a decision, but as a fanboy I am incapable of doing so. This is the second "lost" issue, and so far these are my two favorite issues of the new volume. In this case, I was impressed with the dated yet inoffensive way Duggan was able to capture and mock the language and culture of the 70s without making it a total farce. In a complement to the art, WIFE askend me if it was an "old comic" or just one that looked like it, so there's that

Washington Post Flubs Story On RIAA -- RIAA Still Not Going After Personal Copies (Yet)
from the who-needs-to-read-the-details? dept
Furthermore, there is one other point that is worth highlighting. It was noted in the comments to our original post. The filing points out that when Howell ripped his CDs and put them into a shared folder, those files were no longer "authorized." It's important to note that there's a difference between unauthorized and illegal. Beckerman seems to be saying that by saying "unauthorized" the RIAA means illegal -- but that need not be the case. It's perfectly legal to rip your CDs, even if it's not authorized. It's well established that ripping a CD for personal backup purposes is perfectly legal, even if it's not authorized. What the RIAA appears to be saying is that by putting those backup files into a shared folder, the rips no longer were made for personal use, thus pushing them over the line to illegal. Yes, the RIAA is still pushing its luck in its description, but as was clearly established back at the beginning of December, it is not (yet) claiming that Howell broke the law simply by ripping his CDs -- and it's too bad that the Washington Post has repeated it in a way that caused a bunch of other sites to suddenly claim that it was true.

Mock Seahawks 2013 Season
Here is a mock Seahawks season, which includes free agency, the draft, a few storylines, and some miscellaneous stuff. I tried to put a couple of misses in the draft and regular season injuries to make it at least somewhat realistic.
Free agent signings: This year we don't make a big splash in free agency, keeping in mind that in the next year or two we have to re-sign some of our own core players.
(DE) John Abraham 6-4 263 lbs., contract sign for 2 years $5 million guaranteed with production incentives. – Osi Umenyiora was just asking for too much money so we sign the next best option. Abraham is old, but he was fairly healthy and he led his team in sacks last year. Abraham will start at LEO until Chris Clemons returns to close to 100% healthy. Abraham is also a player that has a good arsenal of pass rush moves, so maybe he could help Bruce Irvin implement some of those moves.
(DT) Cullen Jenkins 6-2 305 lbs., contract sign for 2 year $5 million guaranteed with some incentives. – Jenkins is a bargain and brings more quickness and penetration into the backfield coming from the 3-technique than Alan Branch. Jenkins fills the void of the departure of Alan Branch; the Jags new head coach Gus Bradley made Branch a high priority free agent signing for his team.
Seahawks 2013 NFL Draft class
1st round - (DE) Tank Carradine 6-5 275 lbs. Florida St.: Carradine has some of the traits that the Seahawks like in their defensive players; long arms, high motor, relentless, and the game of football is important to him. I envision him taking over the role of Jason Jones, Carradine has the length build to hold up as a situational pass rushing DT. Carradine will also get reps at LDE.
2nd round – (WR) Ryan Swope 6-0 206 lbs. Texas A&M: He brings much needed speed to the WR core. Swope will provide Russell Wilson a quick target with his exceptional quickness.
3rd round - (TE) Vance McDonald 6-5 260 lbs. Rice: McDonald size, speed, and upside are just too enticing to pass up. McDonald enables Coach Carroll to use more two TE sets.
4th round [Seahawks trade two 5th round picks for a early 4th round pick] - (MLB) Kiko Alonso 6-4 246 lbs. Oregon: Alonso has enough speed to switch to weak side LB and he has the size that Coach Carroll wants on defense. He can be a run-and-hit OLB and his physical intimidating style of play fits with what the Seahawks defensive is all about. Alonso has had multiple off the field incidents, but he is worth the risk at this point of the draft.
4th round - (DE) Quanterus Smith 6-5 251 lbs. WKU: Smith has the length and speed for the LEO, but he is coming off an injury and may not be ready for the start of the season.
6th round - (KR/PR/CB) Greg Reid 5-8 185 lbs. Florida St.: Reid is a ball hawking CB as well as an outstanding kick/punt returner. He will compete to for the nickel CB and compete for reps as a kick returner.
7th round - (QB) Kevin Prince 6-2 230 lbs. UCLA: Prince has good size and he is a good athlete. He is injury prone and never lived up to his potential at UCLA.
7th round - (OT) Caylin Hauptmann 6-4 314 lbs. FIU: Hauptmann brings more depth for the offensive line.
7th round – (FB) Alex Singleton 6-1 260 lbs. Tulsa: Singleton is a big RB/FB that can back up Robinson as well as be the 3rd sting RB.
Mel Kipers opinion on the Seahawks draft: "I don't know what the Seahawks are thinking with their first two picks. Jarvis Jones was still on the board in the 1st round and they pass on him to select a slower pass rusher who is coming off an injury. Then in the 2nd round they select a slot WR when Robert Woods and Terrance Williams were still on the board. I love Vance McDonald in the 3rd round! Mark my words Vance McDonald will be a Pro Bowl player his first year in the league. I like Kiko Alonso in the 4th, but they have a good MLB in Wagner, this pick does not make sense for the Seahawks".
Kiper's draft grade for Seahawks: D
2013 Season
Projected three major injuries (1 injury plagued player, 1 backup player, and 1 random starter): James Carpenter placed on IR 3rd week and is out for the year. Robert Turbin placed on IR week 6 and is out for the year. Kam Chancellor placed on IR week 10 and is out for the remainder of the year.
Seahawks 2013 regular season record: 13 wins, 3 losses
Surprise Players
• (SS) Jeron Johnson – Johnson starts when Kam is lost for the year. Johnson picks up where Kam left off and that is making big hits. Johnson ends the year with 1 int., 4 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles.
• (WR) Ryan Swope – Is a star in the pre-season and during the regular season coaches could not keep him off the field due to his production. Swope started a couple of games in place of Baldwin; he missed two games due to injury. Swoop outplayed Golden Tate and took his starting position by week 9.
• (KR/PR) Greg Reid – Leon Washington loses his duties as kick/punt returner and is cut in the pre-season. Reid had 3 punt return TD's and 1 kick return TD during the regular season.
• (DE) Quanterus Smith – Smith takes over as the starter at LEO by week 9. Ends the regular season with 8 sacks and he consistently put pressure on the QB's.
• (CB) Walter Thurmond – Stayed healthy all year and had 4 int's, with 11 passes broken up as the nickel CB.
• (TE) Darren Fells – Fells in his first year of professional football became Wilson's favorite red zone target.
Disappointing players
• (WR) Golden Tate – He disappeared in multiple games and he lost his starting job to rookie Ryan Swope.
• (TE) Vance McDonald – He struggled in the passing game, he dropped too many passes and he was slow to learn the playbook. McDonald spends most of the year on the inactive roster.
• (DE/DT) Tank Carradine – Carradine started the season off slow mainly due to inexperience play the 3-technique. He came on late towards the end of the season by getting consistent penetration into the backfield and he got 4 sacks in the final 5 weeks of the regular season.
• (DE) John Abraham – He got 4 sacks his first 6 games and the rest of the year he struggled to get pressure due to dealing with minor injuries.
• (DE) Chris Clemmons – It took Clemmons until week 14 to get back onto the field. He had a few setbacks in his recovery from his injury.
Regular Season Storylines involving Seahawks players
• (OLB) Kiko Alonso – Kiko got multiple flags during the season for late hits and personnel fouls. By seasons end he was considered one of the "Dirtiest players in the NFL". He drew comparisons to former 49ers/Broncos LB Bill Romanowski who during his time was an on the field madman.
• (TE) Darren Fells the former basketball player got double digit touchdowns with 10 TD's. His reverse dunk over the goal post is voted by NFL fans as the best touchdown celebration in the league.
• Bengals QB Andy Dalton broke his leg in week 5 and was out for the year. The Bengals were undefeated up until this point of the season. Before week 6 the Seahawks trade Matt Flynn to the Bengals for 2014 3rd and 4th round draft picks. Flynn leads Bengals to finish the regular season with 12 wins and 4 losses. Seahawks rookie (QB) Kevin Prince played well in the pre-season and the coaching staff were impressed with his play in practice, which is why they were comfortable trading away Flynn.
• Backup FB/3rd string (RB) Alex Singleton had a touchdown run that was ranked #1 on ESPN plays of the day. Singleton had 48 yard TD run vs. 49ers, he ran over 49ers MLB Patrick Willis and CB Carlos Rogers on his way to the end zone. The play was reminicent of one of his runs back in college: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVbmbzEBiEw
• Week 12 Darrelle Revis admits that Richard Sherman is the best shut down CB in the NFL.
• Sherman agrees with Revis!

Hmm I think it has to be a female and probably a fan.Anyway I found something interesting on sucks about why Cirie ended up wanting to get Yau out.Quote:This is a comment from Cirie courtesy of Chapera Rocks. The comment could be interpreted two different ways. It might be speculative, but it might also be a slip... Posted on Cirie's my.space: To answer Coby and many others...Why Cirie, Why? Why Yau?..... Here is the inside "exclusive" that you all do not know. Before our immunity challange I went to Yau and told him where the 4th clue was at Exile Island. Knowing with my help Yau would be sure to find the hidden immunity idol, and we would share the idol (as needed) like he did with Earl. I wanted to allign myself with Yau and I trusted him! All Yau would have to do is volunteer himself to go to Exile Island, NO ONE WOULD HAVE SUSPECTED ANYTHING! We agreed that we were cool and together in this plan.After the challange Yau immediately spoke up saying, " I think Jonathan should go to Exile Island". HELLO! DING DING DING..... Get the picture? Yes!!Yau had told Jonathan what I had told him,where the 4th clue was.. allowing him to be the one to find the hidden immunity idol. They would then share the idol, knocking me right out after I approached him and GAVE him the information.So.. when you ask Why Cirie Why? That is why. I trusted Yau and he tried to turn the information around against me and with Jonathan no less!Keep watching for next week's exclusive! BOTTOMS UP :-) Cirie
I never heard ( not head lol ) it s1 honestly I don't think it was said
Yep it was James after the reward challenge about the chickens. See the insider on Chickens A La Malakal. He says thats fried, that baked and barbecued about the 3 chickens.

Opinion: Michelle Rhee Gives Schools Reform a Fail
Michelle Rhee, Founder and CEO of Students First, on the states with the best and worst records on education reform. Also, why her report cards are being smeared. Photos: Getty Images
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
... everyone in life is great status employees politicians ... chefs but heaven forbid teachers and education bureaucrats ... are put under the microscope ... short time ago I spoke with Michelle Rhee former D C schools Chancellor ... the founder and CEO of students first ... Shell ... welcome to the show I think ... um let's let's go ahead and put up by the map of the United States here this most recent ... report card ... so no always been plenty of ETFs II issued weak this concluded school reform ... hasn't worked this is not actually represent progress ... the map believed that represents progress that we would then use the same rubric and that done this report card now and three or four years ago you would've seen a much more dismal situation ... song the one hand it does show the progress has been made but it also shows that we are very very long way down so what exactly are you an entry here in housing differ from ... say how the departed education my ranking in the report so the author of the report cards that show things like teacher quality in the state or how the state is doing academically and that is not taken into account in our report card ... we take every state ... and where they are in terms of their academic achievement levels for children ... and what we do is we graded their policy and Biman do they have the laws and policies in place ... that will allow the state really to grow their Steen achievement levels Aetna and aggressive for a ... time so things like ... do you mandated the state level that ... teachers are laid out by seniority unfettered by quality that that's can affect ... and the states with no state to have very very different reactions to this report card ... comparison California and Massachusetts one what's interesting because ... I California as you know academically and does very very portly in fact to the school system that has gone from first to worst ... in recent years ... and there are of deputy Commissioner of education came out and said that and their app which they received ... he considered a badge on ... and we heard that encompasses this is crazy I mean you have hundreds of thousands of children ... in failing schools and and you're proud about that ... I just suppose that to a state like Massachusetts which I actually received and E ... on our report card but is usually rated a because it's tin achievement levels are extraordinarily high compared to the rest of that ... the country but yet still even though its Number one in the country still fifty percent of the children are not perfection ... in Massachusetts and Bed Bath important contacts have ... aam there were two state senators one Republican one Democrat who were running to point out that in Massachusetts and what they said was when should take the time to reflect were always number one ... but we realize that we can do better with on closing the achievement of making sure that all children get a grade education ... and so we should take this opportunity ... to really look hard at our laws and policies ... and ... you can sort of understand why Massachusetts might be leading the country and other other measures in California might be bringing up the rear because of the attitude of the leadership to show how does she ever come to a place like California I mean ... I into parent trigger mechanisms through which to ... low and moderate income communities just rising up and saying enough ... ay ay ay had never change I think the bottom line is that we can rely on the legislature now we know that the legislature is not an act ... oh isn't the best interest of kids in fact ... last year ... there was a bill that was introduced in California that simply would have made it easier ... to fire sexual predators who are teachers ... just get its entrepreneur about the classroom ... you would think that a lot like that would have no problem and think why would we want to keep dangerous people my country ... and yet it was killed in committee it didn't even go to a vote of the full legislature ... that is how ... dysfunctional things are in that thing until it's only going to be when ... people didn't ... realize that they that they can rely on the legislators or that they have to put a lot of pressure on them before they can start making the decisions that are in the best interest of can I it's a big part of that is giving parents the information to know ... just how bad ... the situation that that's absolutely right I think that normally in the legislature a lot like that would get killed in committee ... nobody would know about it it doesn't can publicize this no accountability for the legislators that to think when we can bring attention to these issues which is exactly what my own organizations teams first ... is aiming to do is ... engage our membership and let people know what's going on hold those folks accountable and conditioner e Chancellor a former D C schools Chancellor founder CEO Stings first nasty to stay with this ... stay with us here on Opinion Journal ...

- Purses are an attractive target for thieves...don't carry one if it isn't necessary
- Lock your valuables securely, even in your room
- Mark your property for quick identification. Engravers may be borrowed from the Crime Prevention Office
- Do not risk injury if someone attempts to forcibly take your wallet, purse, or personal belongings
- Carry a whistle and use it if you feel threatened
- Don't attach your I.D. to your keys or mark your key chain with your name and address
- If University keys are lost or stolen, notify CSPS immediately, as well as Residence Hall staff (employees should notify their supervisor)
- Get to know your neighbors and share information about suspicious activities
Residence Hall Security
During the school year the Gonzaga campus is home to about 2000 students that live in University residential facilities. Keeping the residence halls safe requires attention to some particular security concerns:
- Close exterior doors behind you as you enter your hall. DO NOT allow anyone to enter who is not accompanied by another resident (Yes, even the pizza guy cannot enter unescorted)
- Escort your visitors to the exterior door when they leave
- Soliciting and sales are not allowed in the residence halls. Report solicitors you encounter to CSPS at ext. 2222 and residence hall staff
- DO NOT prop exteriors door (even when it's hot) and unprop those that you find open
- If a door lock is broken, call ext. 5656 to report it. After hours and on weekends, call CSPS at ext. 2222
- If you live on the ground floor or have a balcony keep your windows locked
- Be sure to lock your room door if you will be away, even for a minute. Locking it while you are sleeping is also a good idea
Office Security
Staff, faculty, work-study students and student organizations work in an office environment. This situation poses a special concern due to the high amount of traffic through buildings and offices. Opportunistic crime occurs when security awareness and crime prevention fall by the wayside.
The best plan is to be a good ambassador for your department and the University. If you see someone who appears lost, out of place, or loitering, approach and offer assistance with directions. If their business is legitimate, you have created a good impression. If it is not, you have put the person on notice that security awareness is a priority. You have also taken the opportunity to get a good description.
If the answer you get is hostile, evasive, or otherwise unsatisfactory, call CSPS. If the person is clearly a threat to safety or property or is acting in a strange or bizarre fashion, avoid contact and call CSPS at ext. 2222 immediately. Other tips for a safe office are below:
- Do not loan out office keys or allow them to be copied
- Keep your purse, wallet, or other valuables locked in a cabinet or drawer. Office thieves know the usual unlocked "hiding places"
- If your office will be unattended, even for just a minute, lock the door
- Record the description and serial numbers of office equipment- especially highly portable computer equipment
- Keep petty cash locked up at all times and make periodic checks of the amount
- Lock doors and close windows at the end of the working day
- Never prop exterior doors.
- Call Campus Security & Public Safety for an escort
Auto Security & Safety
Auto theft is a growing problem and the campus area is not immune. Take action to safeguard your vehicle:
- Lock all doors while driving and after parking
- Help secure your vehicle against theft or burglary with an electronic alarm
- Keep a copy of your registration, insurance, and title in a safe place separate from your vehicle
- Store valuables out of sight or locked in the trunk
- If you don't use your car regularly, check on it every day or two
- Immediately report all thefts, as well as suspicious activity in parking lots and near parked cars, to CSPS at ext. 2222

Monday, March 27, 1995
Breaking the news at my mom's house.
Today my husband and I celebrate the anniversary of our engagement, 17 years ago. Actually, the anniversary was this entire weekend, which is kind of a long story. You see, it kind of took me a while to give him an answer. Like, um, more than 24 hours.
Before hubby and I married, we had what could be referred to as a four year, on-again, off-again period of dating, friendship and mutual hatred. Mostly the mutual hatred part. Yet neither could get the other out of our brains, and kept going back for more. Some people wondered why, including me, on occasion. But there was something good there, we were just too stupid to admit it early on. You know how that can be.
That last six months or so before hubby proposed, we had grown and settled, and become very good friends, but just friends. On March 25, 1995, before leaving for dinner at The Milton Inn, he gave me a dozen red roses. Imagine my surprise! He said I deserved it, having just survived yet another difficult period at work that included lots of bizarre events and weekly rounds of lay-offs.
We had a lovely dinner. After our meal, he popped the question, with little fanfare. No ring in the dessert, or anything like that. That's not his style, for which I am grateful. But surprised does not begin to explain the depth of my, um, shock. Yes, shock.
You see, I was way beyond thinking he would ever propose. At more than one point in our relationship(s) over the years I had hoped for it. But when it didn't happen, I eventually accepted that fact and decided I liked having him as a very good friend. We were really good at being friends, even traveling together at times.
Back to the story. So, he proposed Saturday night. The rest of Saturday night goes by. Sunday goes by. All day. I hummed, I hawwed (whatever that means). I guess I was thinking it over, but I do not remember that day at all. Hubby tells me, again because I do not remember, that I said "Yes" Monday morning, when I saw him on the bus. We lived in the same neighborhood and rode the same bus into downtown Baltimore every morning. In fact, that's where I first saw him, on the bus.
Earlier this weekend, I asked him what he did on that Sunday. He smiled and said, "I don't know, probably went to work." Science Geek. When I asked what he was thinking while waiting for my reply, he smiled again and said, "I wasn't sure, but I was hoping for a positive outcome." Science Geek Language.
Once I said yes, I don't know why he went through with it. The fact that it took me 24+ hours to get back to him should have told him something about my super-cautious, tendency to over-think things personality. But he did, and I am grateful every day that we both did!

LONDON & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aframe announced that for the second year in a row, Viacom International Media Networks used Aframe's cloud video production platform to distribute highlights and clips of its 2012 MTV EMA show via the Internet – superfast and yet securely – rather than costly or cumbersome alternatives. Backed by Aframe's private cloud network, MTV's PR teams helped maximize impact of this must-see event in broadcast reports, online and on mobile devices.
The hottest international awards show with a star-studded roster including Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys and The Killers, the 2012 MTV EMAs had the instant appeal that demands both widespread media access to footage to support broadcast and online coverage, and security. After a successful use of Aframe at the 2011 MTV EMAs, MTV expanded its Aframe use to allow up to 200 journalists on Aframe's secure platform.
With Aframe, MTV's PR teams could distribute content as widely as it desired by simply granting access as needed to media contacts as needed, anywhere and on the fly – without requiring media to install special software or hardware, or enter cumbersome commands. Users simply log on to Aframe's web-based platform and start working with video instantly.
Once in Aframe, journalists and bloggers could view and select precise clips they needed, instead of downloading an entire package, and then choose a clip afterwards. MTV could also use Aframe to add metatags to the footage, to make video searchable by comments, file names, collections and summaries - making it easy to find just the right clip in seconds. Such speed and easy access further facilitated the media's creation of MTV EMA show reports for use on TV, online and on mobile devices.
"Killer acts deserve killer treatment, and Aframe made it fast and easy for media anywhere to access MTV EMA footage and create packages to keep the buzz going about the show for days," said David Peto, CEO of Aframe. "Aframe also saved time, hassle and bandwidth costs for MTV's PR teams and for the journalists they work with. Now that's a real winner!"
About Aframe
Aframe is a web-based service designed to liberate the video industry by providing a shared, secure space for production companies, broadcasters, marketing agencies, corporate marketing departments, and any business or individual working with the moving image. Using Aframe, producers can plan, create content, collaborate, store, edit, distribute and make footage searchable. Aframe aims to take the blood, sweat and tears out of content creation, without needing equipment or full-time staff, and only requiring an internet connection.

American Horror Story is starting over from scratch for its second season of horny ghosts and raw organ-eating. The new season will start in a new time period, with a new location and a lot of the original cast playing completely different characters. Like Bruce Willis in North.
According to The Hollywood Reporter Murphy recently announced this plans for this ghost drama: "[Season 2] is set on the East Coast at an institution for the criminally insane that is run by Jessica [Lange's new character]." Interesting... Why not throw Lange a One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest type character? Turning her into a completely different psychotic is really the only way they can top Constance Langdon... if that's even possible.
And the madness doesn't stop there, not only is beanpole rocker Adam Levine joining the cast as a "sexy guy" (real words!) but the whole thing is going to be set in a different time period. And! And! Zachary Quinto, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters (Tate), and Lily Rabe (the crazy old timey doctor's wife) are all returning to play entirely different people. But which one will start the new season off with a cry-wank? Your guess is as good as ours. Maybe all of them, together. Because if there's one thing you can count on from AHS, it's new and better levels of WTF.

This morning on The Today Show, Toyota president Jim Lentz lied twice to Matt Lauer about Toyota's 2.3-million-vehicle accelerator pedal recall.
In the one-on-one exclusive interview with Matt Lauer, Toyota's Jim Lentz faced questions about the massive recall while simultaneously attempting to reassure customers.
But, as you can see in the video below, Lauer initially asks Lentz when the company knew about issues with "unwanted acceleration." The response? Let's charitably call it misleading:
LAUER: When did your company know, when did you personally know and other officials at your company know you had a serious problem with unwanted acceleration or slow response from acceleration?
LENTZ: In the case of the slow response, this most recent one, the first technical report that we had that we could duplicate the issue was in late October of last year.
Yeah, that's just wrong. According to the Defect Information Report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on January 21, 2010 (it can be seen in the gallery below), Toyota received complaints about this issue as far back as March 2007 and were able to duplicate a pedal "slow to return to the idle position" as far back as June 2008, which caused them to change the material they used to make the equipment. However, for some reason, Toyota didn't see this as a safety issue but just a "drivability issue."
Where the big lie occurs is in Lentz's response to Lauer about this very issue. Lauer referenced the Tundra problem above and asked whether or not the original 2007 problem was related to sticking pedals:
LAUER: So in the letter you wrote, or your company wrote, to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration saying that they knew as of 2007 that there were some issues with Tundra trucks, was that the entrapment issue or was that unwanted acceleration because of a sticking pedal.
LENTZ: That was not sticking pedals, the initial concerns were over entrapment and we concentrated on mats and now we have reshaped the pedals on those vehicles to reduce the risk of that happening.
Uh, yeah. Then what the hell is this:
Toyota Defect Information Report; January 21, 2010
Starting in March 2007, Toyota received field technical information regarding reports of accelerator pedals demonstrating symptoms such as rough operation or being slow to return to the idle position. These reports were limited to one model (Tundra), and the accelerator pedal assemblies in those vehicles contained a friction lever made of the PA46 material. Toyota's investigation found that the PA46 material was susceptible to humidity, which could cause the friction lever to absorb moisture and swell. Environmental testing was conducted in order to understand the full impact of the swelling of the friction lever due to humidity. In February 2008, the material of the friction arm was changed to PPS while investigations continued. In June 2008, Toyota concluded that while accelerator pedal feeling could change under certain conditions, Toyota considered it to be a drivability issue unrelated to safety.
While the Tundra is also included in the floor mat recall, Toyota's own records indicate there was concern about the accelerator pedal in 2008 as well and to say otherwise is either an admission that he, too, is confused by what's really at fault here or he's attempting to mince words to make it appear this is a sudden issue for them and not something they've been investigating since 2007.

Middlesbrough midfielder Julio Arca's season has come to a premature end after he was allowed to return to Argentina to undergo knee surgery.
Arca is to have an operation to repair his meniscus cartilage and will, therefore, miss the final game of the npower Championship campaign against Doncaster at the weekend.
Mowbray told the club's official website, www.mfc.co.uk: "We let him have his operation early, that was the right thing to do so that he can be fit and ready for next season."
Arca's existing deal expires at the end of the campaign, although manager Tony Mowbray is hopeful he can persuade him to stay.
Meanwhile, striker Scott McDonald could return to the squad after missing the last two games with a hamstring problem.
The Australia international limped off during the 4-2 win at Hull having scored a first-half hat-trick.

Hurray for Takako Shimura
Join Date: Sep 2009
Chapter 78:
I think Shimura's intention is to show that Shû is getting more and more conscious and depressed about his puberty, and angry at the whole school situation. That is why she hints he is hating himself as much as he hates Doi. Doi seems like a very interesting, complex character.
Not so surprised about Mako's feelings, given that he openly mentioned before that he felt attraction for men. The target of his affection is not only a cute guy but also the closest person to him in many ways. I am actually more surprised that he went to Yoshino to discuss this issue.
I never intervened on this topic before but I love Takako Shimura's works, especially this manga. It's very tough to have to wait around a month per update.

Well, I certainly don't appreciate Doi, but he strikes me as interesting for a few reasons.
The first is Shimura's ever impressive skill to create what seems like a minor character that will only serve for one peculiar arc, then make the most out of this character throughout the story. From a dramatic standpoint, I thought it was a genius move to make Doi Shû's only familiar face in the new class.
Besides that, I think the character is interesting because he seems to struggle with the mere existences of people like Shû and Hiroyuki, at an age when sexual attraction is usually popping up in ways which you don't control or fully understand yet. The youth element is especially important here, as compared to when an adult bigot falls in love with a girl who happens to be a tranvestite or transexual. Doi is conflicted between his instincts (he is attracted to two beautiful women) and the moral and social conventions he has been brought up with, which make up for his inexperience of real life. The fact that he is an asshole specifically makes him more complex than a nice guy like Riku (Maho's boyfriend), for example.
A good story needs interesting bad guys. I think the two bullies have proven to be much more interesting than in most mangas and more subtle/useful characters than I would have ever imagined.

I really love Hourou Musuko, it's very refreshing to follow up young kids and their troubles. Also, the author's style of subtlity and "jumping around" is amazing! I' m used to 10 pages of characters exchaning looks and flash backs and all over one conversation. But here, days passes by withing few panels.
Also, I like how realistic it is. Not the cross dressing part (not here anyway LOL), but the interaction between the characters.
*siiighs*... It brings back school memories.

The newest chapter is "out there".
I thought the final page of last month was an excuse to switch back to Yoshino, but we stick with Shû and Doi's complex relationship. Doi remains as interesting as ever. I have no idea how intentional it is but it becomes harder and harder to distinguish Shû from his sister.
I also thought the conversation betwen Maho and Seya was a bit hard to follow because of the strange framing. It took me a few readthroughs to fully understand who was talking at which point.

So I just sat down and read all 79 currently available chapters today, and I was just blown away. I've never been so engrossed in a manga to read so many chapters in one day like this before. The wait for chapter 80 is going to kill me now.

GOSHDAMMIT how does Shimura-sensei DO IT?!?!? Managing to take such an annoying char, and turn him good in just the contents of a single chapter. I gotta admit, she had me grinning ear to ear on this one. As you said Rumble, I guess there WAS more to him than I thought, though that still didn't make him any more likable before now. Kinda makes me think that this entire time, Doi was either jealous and/or unsure how to deal with someone like Shuu(their personalities are different) which eventually led to him being a 'bully' toward him.
On some side note, i always thought Shuu was good at writing stories, so i'm kinda disappointed that it could be made better by their[the students] standards.

Although it took me forever to get past Volume 1, I raced through the rest of the chapters and I'm really enjoying the story. My favourite scene is when Yoshino has a dream where she thinks everyone's laughing at her before realising that they were all laughing at Shu instead and that his problems just might dwarf her own. Beautifully done and that whole chapter stayed in my mind for a long time.
I do wish the pace was just a bit faster though. The plot's picked up but it's still meandering around and I wonder what sort of resolution Takako Shimura has in mind. Will she show Yoshino and Shu as adults where their challenges will only get inevitably harder or will she reach some sort of touching resolution before then? Will they conform to the expectations of society or will they officially decide to become trans-sexuals?
Or will she take a different route? The last few chapters seem to hint at a path that lies between these 2 poles but then Shimura has so far really confounded my expectations which makes me all the more interested in following this subtle, nuanced story to the very end.

Very interesting chapter, featuring a lot of characters I had not expected to re-appear. It's funny because I was so caught up in the Doi / Mako events that I had not realized the bunkasai was such a great opportunity to gather so many pivotal characters in one spot simultaneously. Even though this was obviously where Shimura was going all along. Quite exciting!
I am especially interested in seeing how the dark-haired bully developped. He seemed at least as complex as Doi. Given what we last saw of him before he "disappeared", I am convinced he became a rather nice and mature teenager. It is also quite well-played that the target of his affection is Saorin because, unlike him, she seems to have matured rather poorly. Furthermore, given her nature, she probably won't forgive him for his past actions. It will make for an interesting interaction.

Yeah, I liked the way the last chapter brought all the characters together too. It feels like there are 2 plays taking place: one on the drama stage and a larger one with the school itself as the setting and all the main characters of the manga involved. I'll be interesting to see if the 2 plays converge. Shimura often uses her stage dramas to make some subtle comment on the state of the characters in the story (especially in Aoi Hana).
One thing that surprises me is that while Shu received a lot of flak and teasing for cross-dressing at school, his classmates blithely continue with a cross-dressing theme for their play. You'd think they would be much more sensitive and shy away from the whole topic after the way they reacted to Shu's behaviour.

Interesting that someone is giving this manga a try in the struggling US market.
I know Aoi Hana is published in some European countries (France and Italy, I believe?) but I believe HM is still exclusive to its home market.
Regarding the most recent chapter (#82), I also found Chibi's interaction with Takatsuki very interesting.

Great news, but I'm surprised that it's published by Fantagraphics of all people. I mean, HM fits in well with what they usually put out but I think their only foray into manga territory was one volume of Tori Miki's silent strips a few years ago.
At least, it'll probably make for a very lavish edition. Plus, somehow, HM might have a better chance of finding an audience with Fantagraphics' target demographic than with the usual manga publishers'.

Be more lucky with built-in positive thinking.
Develop the habit of seeking out the best in a situation and be more objective about set-backs or weaknesses
Do you want to be luckier in life? Do you want to feel better and live longer?
You'll see questions like these from people trying to sell you a magic pill that will take away all your woes and make you happy ever after. But even though the pill is a fantasy, there really is a way to improve your ability to spot and grab opportunity - also known as luck - and improve your overall health and well-being.
It's called positive thinking.
Thinking is a skill
We are not talking about shutting your eyes and pretending that everything is okay when it's not. Nor about the so-called 'law of attraction' that tells you to put yourself in the 'right' frame of mind and you can have pretty well anything you want (that's just another 'magic pill'). We're talking about mastering the skill of identifying and utilizing whatever can be turned to your advantage out of any situation.
Of course, we are always trying to make the best of our circumstances, but we don't always go about it very effectively. We may have learnt certain negative habits of mind from our families or our society, or we may have a personal bent in our own character, that blind us to the real opportunities and possibilities open to us. But these attitudes are not unchangeable. You can learn to be more positive in your approach.
Hypnosis can help you develop a more positive approach to life
Positive thinking is an audio hypnosis session created by experienced psychologists who understand exactly how the brain sets up new patterns of responding to the world and how you can use this information for your own benefit.
As you relax deeply and repeatedly to the powerful hypnotic suggestions, you will find yourself almost effortlessly
- responding rather than just reacting to events and circumstances
- acknowledging your real strengths and building on them
- noticing more and more opportunities around you
- developing a calm persistence in the face of setbacks
- feeling naturally more positive about your life
