DC Comics' "sold-out" September goes out with a bang. The final 13 new #1's – the last 13 comic books to be released as part of a revamping of the story lines of DC Comics' most beloved superheroes – are All-Star Western, Aquaman, Batman: The Dark Knight, Blackhawks, The Flash, The Fury of Firestorm, Green Lantern: New Guardians, I, Vampire, Justice League Dark, The Savage Hawkman, Superman, Teen Titans, and Voodoo.
Once again there's a great selection to choose from and here's some titles that are worth a special mention:
All-Star Western #1, by writers Justin Gray, Jimmy Palmiotti, and artist Moritat, brings bounty hunter Jonah Hex to the fledgling city of Gotham (yes, the home of Batman) in the 1880s. He's hired by Doctor Amadeus Arkham to track down a Jack the Ripper-like serial killer roaming the streets. It's fun to see Hex's unease at being in a city and being reluctantly saddled with the Doctor as the killer's trail leads to some unexpected places. The art is perfect, capturing the look and costume of the time period and you can almost hear and smell the sights and sounds of the city's slums. It's a great start to a compelling story that combines a classic Western character with a Victorian murder mystery.
Aquaman #1 by writer Geoff Johns and artist Ivan Reis launches the undersea hero in a refreshing new take. Johns and Reis quickly establish that he can be formidable out of the water and doesn't need a "day job." His new "base of operations" is his father's lighthouse. As all that is being revealed, Johns' script pokes fun at the character's "joke" status in pop culture. Also Aquaman is unique in being the only big hero that is still married in the "New 52."
Superman #1, story and layouts by the legendary George Pérez and art by Jesús Merino relaunches the Man of Steel wearing an updated costume (no shorts!) in a new but familiar Metropolis. Yes he's still Clark Kent, reporter for the Daily Planet, but he and Lois Lane are no longer married (she's involved with someone else) and his fair city has mixed feelings about having an alien protector. Pérez wraps in the current state of newspapers, having the Planet bought out by a big news conglomerate, Lois posting news videos online, all of which infuriates Clark Kent (and his old editor Perry White) who still hold onto the idea of print journalism and the integrity and analysis it can provide. One of the nicest features of this book it that it's the only one of the "New 52" that is pretty much a self-contained story. Sure, there are subplots but a casual/new reader can pick up this issue and have a fun read without feeling forced to pick up the next issue to get the rest of the story. Most monthly comic books are written in 6-issue story arcs so they will fit nicely in a trade paperback that can be sold on Amazon and bookstores. I hope with the "New 52" will come more single-issue stories or shorter multipart ones. That would make comic book reading an easier, more accessible, and more enjoyable experience.
A real surprise this week – and during the whole month, actually – is DC's horror releases. This time we have I, Vampire #1 by writer Joshua Hale Fialkov and artist Andrea Sorrentino, an entertaining, haunting take on the good-vampire-versus-bad-vampires theme. This one is off to a moody, suspenseful beginning.
Justice League Dark #1 by writer Peter Milligan and artist Mikel Janin is the best of the "Justice league" books. This story is about a group of misfit mystics coming together to take down a magical threat that has already defeated the combined might of Superman and Wonder Woman. Against such overwhelming odds it's sure to be a bumpy ride. I have never seen Janin's artwork before but it's one of the best in the "New 52."
So now that all 52 new first issues are out, it's hard decision time: Which books are you going to read regularly?

However, no-till lettuce is possible today, according to research conducted by Steve Fennimore, University of California Extension weed specialist, Salinas, Calif., and Kai Umeda, University of Arizona area Extension agent, Phoenix.
Unfortunately, there is a brick wall between research and field utilization, and it was built by misinformation about the safety of biotechnology. Growers are reluctant to embrace herbicide-tolerant or other biotechnology enhanced food crops because of the largely unfounded negative perception consumers have about the technology.
Until that can be overcome, growers will not chance introducing into the marketplace lettuce or any other food crop that could create a marketplace backlash.
That will preclude growers from embracing a technology that has proven in research trials to reduce hand-hoeing costs by 90 percent with the application of a quart of Roundup per acre when lettuce was at the two- to six-leaf stage.
Umeda told the 11th annual Desert Vegetable Crop Workshop at Yuma, Ariz., that the variety tested at Salinas and Yuma was glyphosate-tolerant Raider. Research was conducted both on the May-July lettuce deal in Salinas by Fennimore and September-December in Yuma by Umeda.
No crop injury
There was no crop injury at the recommended rate, said Umeda.
For Salinas, Fennimore recorded exceptional weed control at the quart rate at the four- to six-leaf stage. With sequential applications, Umeda said weeds were virtually eliminated compared with not only the non-herbicide check but also the standard Prefar/Kerb preplant herbicide treatment.
For desert lettuce, Umeda said a quart applied over the top at the two- to four-leaf stage was most effective in the desert.
The Roundup-tolerant lettuce plots also produced the highest yield, 65,000 pounds of lettuce per acre compared with a hand-weeded, weed-free plot of 61,000 pounds. Yields were even lower in plots where a preplant herbicide was used along with hand weeding.
The virtually weed free glyphosate-tolerant lettuce plots did not require tillage and that reduced weed control costs by not having repeated flushes of weeds cause by disturbing the soil.
Umeda called the technology "extremely valuable."
Unfortunately, it is at least four to five years away from use by farmers because of consumer reluctance to embrace genetically modified vegetable crops.

This article is a collaboration between MedPage Today® and:
Patients with moderate hypertension who went on a sodium-restricted diet for 4 weeks showed significant improvements in markers of vascular endothelial function in a small trial, researchers said.
In a randomized, crossover study of 17 middle-age and older volunteers, endothelial dysfunction seen when their diet contained roughly 3,600 mg/day of sodium was reversed when their intake was closer to 1,200 mg/day, according to Douglas Seals, PhD, of the University of Colorado, in Boulder, and colleagues.
The findings "support the hypothesis that dietary sodium restriction to a level consistent with the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet improves both conduit artery (macrovascular) and resistance vessel (microvascular) endothelial function in middle-age/older men and women with elevated systolic blood pressure," the researchers wrote online in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
They indicated that the effect appears to be mediated by increasing the bioavailability of nitric oxide and tetrahydrobiopterin and by reducing oxidative stress.
Thus, Seals and colleagues concluded, "dietary sodium restriction has the potential to improve cardiovascular health and reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease beyond its blood pressure-lowering effects."
In an accompanying editorial, two Australian researchers agreed that the study demonstrated that salt reduction was beneficial, but questioned whether the effect was really independent of blood pressure.
David S. Celermajer, DSc, and Bruce Neal, PhD, both of Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, criticized the study authors' statistical methods for controlling for participants' blood pressure.
That aside, though, they argued that the bigger issue now is how to cut average daily sodium intake by 50% or more in large numbers of people.
Celermajer and Neal wrote that the DASH diet "has proven achievable in research studies, but widespread implementation would require action by many stakeholders, including legislators, food companies, and retailers, as well as by consumers."
In the study, Seals and colleagues had the 17 participants, mean age 62 (SD 7) eat the DASH diet for 10 weeks. The diet has a target sodium content of 1,200 mg/day, but because participants were able to stray from it somewhat, their actual daily dietary intake was estimated from food diaries during the study to be about 1,340 mg.
Participants were also randomized to take slow-release salt pills daily -- totaling 2,300 mg of sodium, intended to bring total daily intake to 3,600 mg, close to the actual U.S. adult average -- or matching placebo pills for 4 weeks. After a 2-week washout, participants were switched to the other pill type.
Mean urinary sodium excretion while on the DASH diet without salt supplement was less than half that seen when participants were taking the salt tablets (70 mmol/day versus 153 mmol/day), whereas mean potassium excretion was unchanged. At baseline, mean sodium excretion was 150 mmol/day, indicating that the diet intervention reduced sodium intake substantially.
Systolic blood pressure averaged 138 mm Hg at baseline. During the study, systolic blood pressure averaged 140 mm Hg (SD 7) while on the salt tablets compared with 128 mm Hg (SD 10) on the DASH diet (P<0.01). The effect on diastolic pressure was smaller and less significant: 82 mm Hg (SD 7) while on the salt pills versus 79 mm Hg (SD 6) on placebo tablets.
Other cardiovascular risk markers such as LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting plasma glucose, and physical activity levels did not differ significantly between the two study conditions.
But in addition to systolic pressure, the low-sodium condition was associated with dramatic increases in flow-mediated dilation in the brachial artery (mean change of 0.23 mm versus 0.15 mm with "normal" sodium intake, P<0.001).
Also, the area under the curve for the percentage change in forearm blood flow in response to acetylcholine challenge compared with saline was greater under the low-sodium condition (mean 1,768 versus 1,213 for "normal" sodium, P<0.05).
Seals and colleagues found a similar difference in the area under the curve for the percentage change in forearm vascular conductance (mean 1,811 versus 1,220, P<0.05).
These differences were abolished when participants were treated with a short-acting inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis, "indicating increased nitric oxide bioavailability during dietary sodium restriction," the researchers wrote.
And, flow-mediated dilation improved in the "normal" sodium condition, but not during sodium restriction, when participants were given ascorbic acid or oral tetrahydrobiopterin, both of which act to reduce oxidative stress.
Seals and colleagues said these effects were independent of changes in systolic blood pressure associated with the sodium restriction.
But the editorialists questioned that conclusion.
"The methodology employed [in the study] was not a good test [of blood pressure-independent effects of sodium reduction]," Celermajer and Neal wrote.
"Including individuals' blood pressure measurements in statistical models is a poor means of controlling for the effects of change in blood pressure because of the enormous moment-to-moment within-individual variability of blood pressure levels," they argued.
"This means that little of the effect of blood pressure is controlled for when models are fitted in this way, with alternate methods that use grouped data being required to properly explore the blood pressure-dependent versus blood pressure-independent effects of interventions."
For their part, Seals and colleagues acknowledged that the study was limited by the small sample size, although they contended that, thanks to the crossover design, the study was adequately powered for the comparisons made.
From the American Heart Association:
The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health.
Study authors and the editorialists declared that they had no relevant financial interests.

Product Details
Our famous Ludlow cut has been the cornerstone of our suiting since its introduction in 2008, but we wanted to give this version a bit of continental swagger. Crafted in a handpicked worsted wool from Tollegno 1900 (est. 1862, making it one of the oldest mills in Italy), it features a lapel that's one inch wider than our usual suit jackets, but is still cut in the slim, modern silhouette that earned the Ludlow its renown in the first place. As an added bonus, it has a bit of stretch, which makes it more comfortable when you're running for the train or just sitting down with clients.

I would tell thee of my trip to Svalbard in the winter of '86. I boarded a barque near Murmansk and was quickly ensconced in the captain's quarters as we set off across the Barents Sea. The ship reeked of the whale and seal fat used to caulk the wood, and I could feel dull thumps each time we struck an ice floe. The trip took several days, and I amused myself by employing oculomancy on the crew as well as wagering with the captain on how long one of his monkey butlers could stay up in the crow's nest.
The reason I was on this trip at all was because I had heard rumor that a certain artifact had been uncovered during excavation of an old church on the island of Svalbard, north off the coast of Norway. Even the possibility of seeing this precious object had sent me scurrying. After almost 4 days at sea, we made landfall at a tiny fishing village officially called Nartwuld, but known to locals as something far more sinister, a name I dare not commit to this page.
None of the populace came out to meet our ship. Nay, I scarcely saw any living soul, save for a few haggard seabirds, huddled against the icy wind in groups of 3 or 4. A deep, chilling fog began rolling in as we tied the ship down and disembarked, walking down the pitted planks of a short dock. A shutter banged loudly as the fog enveloped us, and suddenly a blood-chilling howl pierced the fog up ahead, a sound that belonged to no animal or beast that I had ever come in contact with, and I didn't want to start now. At that the captain and the small crew muttered excuses, made warding signs, and backed away, returning to their ship.
I soldiered on, further into the village. The fog was like a living thing, seeming to wrap itself around me. A faint smell, like a ham left outside in the sun, permeated everything. I tripped over a loose cobble, catching myself before hitting the ground. A quick glance at the loose "rock" revealed that it was instead a human skull, worn black by centuries of footsteps. I realized that I had been walking on these the whole time, skulls forming the entire cobbled street. I hurried onward, further into the fog.
The information that I had received said that I was to look for a church, and soon enough I found what had to be it, though it was unlike any church I had ever been in. The whole edifice was built using huge blocks of black volcanic basalt, the stones put together with such craft that no seams were visible. At the top on the steeple hung a symbol that bore no resemblance to a cross of any kind. Christianity had never been brought to these isles. The doors stood open, so I walked inside.
The interior was one huge space, with no seating. On the pulpit stood only an altar, stained crimson. A banner hung on the wall behind the altar, depicting a great, staring eye. I sensed movement to my left. Turning, I saw a priest shuffling forward, cradling something in his arms. He said nothing, merely offering me the wrapped parcel. Footsteps echo'd behind me, and I turned to see the townspeople, filing into the church with heads bowed. Knowing that I did not want to see what was about to take place, I clutched the package to my chest and fled, back down the cobbled street and to the docks. The salt air still on my lips, I said nothing to the captain as he made preparations to leave. Safe in my quarters, I pulled at the frayed strings holding together the package now in my hands, opening it to reveal…
Strange Hostel of Naked Pleasures. Finally my dear readers I get to bring you a rare gem from none other than Jose Mojica Marins himself, known to his friends as Coffin Joe. Strange Hostel is most certainly a Coffin Joe film, but does not belong to the Coffin Joe Trilogy. It is a film unto itself, but is 100% a Marins vehicle you can be sure. Filmed in 1976 and on a really small budget, the movie nonetheless impresses with its visual style and the obvious flair that only Marins could bring.
The movie opens in typical Coffin Joe fashion: surreal and disorientating. A troupe of women dancers, wearing skimpy outfits, dance to the drums beat on by shirtless guys. On and on they dance, while screams echo in the distance and lightning flashes in the sky. Finally, we see a black coffin. More dancing, more quick camera cuts. Suddenly, men wearing plastic breasts (seriously) show up, also wearing plastic monkey-esque masks on their faces. I'm not sure of the significance, but it's very off-putting.
The dance continues until suddenly, the coffin opens, and Coffin Joe rises up. His top hat magically appears on his head, and his cape quickly follows suit, materializing out of the ether. Taloned hands extended, CJ begins to speak:
"Live to die, or die to live? Is there a correct answer? NO! Only doubts…
Only deductions… Only the certainty of the emptiness loneliness is desperately searching for…
Everything or nothing, the wideness of the gloom.
For the answer for this riddle would be the end of this mystery, the end of eternity's secret,
The apogee of happiness. Before an accomplished mission, because man would be face to face with his best conquest, the awakening of origin itself!"
Obviously CJ is setting us up for some deep awesomeness. The title sequence runs at this point, and I felt it was very well shot, the credits being embedded on graves in a particularly ornate necropolis. We are also subjected to the moans and screams we've all come to know and love during CJ credits. We next see a star field surrounded by a bunch of planets (obviously hung from strings). CJ pontificates more on the meaning of life and the infinite nature of the universe.
Next we see a newspaper ad asking for some workers at a hostel. Quite a few prospects show up at the place, named "Hostel of Pleasures". CJ himself is the proprietor. He walks out, staring at everyone with menace, and proceeds to pick out a man and woman to get the job. Everyone is understandably creeped out, and they all leave, even the ones who got the job. However, those two don't go far, they return with zombie-like precision, obviously overcome by Coffin Joe's power.
At this point, the movie goes into utter awesome territory. Seeing CJ in all his glory running the front desk of a hotel is just more than my brain can handle. He's not in full CJ regalia, though. Still, we get many close-ups of his eyes as they dart back and forth. One after another, customers come in to rent a room, and as each are given a key, we get a close-up shot of a clock hanging on the wall behind the front desk. This will become important later, rest assured.
The customers given rooms already have their names written in the guest book. A terrible storm is raging outside, so many people come in, only to be turned away by CJ, as their names aren't written in the book. A rich man gets rebuffed and, in his anger, says he will return with the police. Among the people granted shelter are a couple who are obviously having an affair, a group of shady, gambling businessmen, and a giant group of hippie bikers. Seriously. They get one room for the lot of them. We also get a young couple who can't stop from making out, much to our delight (the chick is seriously smoking). A suicidal man and a group of robbers fresh off a robbery round out the rest of the 12 guests.
I must pause here and give special props to the writing of this movie. Coffin Joe constantly speaks in parables, almost poetry really. For instance, to the rich guy who gets sent away, this is his explanation for refusing the guy a room:
"There is no redemption for those who want to be blinder than the blind one having his sight to see."
Needless to say, this elevates the movie into the realm of Movies That Are Awesome. From here the movie spends quite a bit of time showing the different people going about their business. The couple in love get naked and start sexing up. The hippies also get naked and appear to be having a good ol' fashioned freak-out. The gamblers gamble. Everyone just does their thang.
In the morning, they all awaken to find their watches are stopped at midnight. They ask CJ what's up with that, and he reveals the true reason for the Hostel. It seems that all of them have died this night and that the Hostel is their eternal torment, where time has ceased to exist (queue shots of the clock on the wall again). So, let me get this straight: eternal damnation is having hippy group sex? Where do I sign up?!?!
CJ gives them all visions of what actually happened. The adulterous couple is murdered via knife by a jealous husband. The hippies plunge their motorcycles off a cliff. The robbers are all shot by the police. The suicidal guy is shown shooting himself. Everyone is dead, trapped for eternity in CJ's own version of Hell. The scene cuts to daylight and we see the rich guy who was so rudely rebuffed show up with the police in tow. Hoping out of their cars, we see that they have arrived at the spot where the hostel was, only in its place is now a cemetery! The police laugh at the confused rich guy, who in turn just stands there looking confused.
As they leave, we see the hostel yet again, with Coffin Joe walking up its steps. The sign for the hostel pops into existence on the wall next to the door. CJ turns to us, and his face fades into a skull as blood pours out of the eye sockets! Leave it to Marins to know how to end a film! This movie was very strange indeed, even more so than most CJ fare. I absolutely loved the imagery. When the suicidal guy shoots himself, smoke, sparks, and blood fly across the screen. It may have been low budget, but they really made what they could out of it, that's for sure.
One interesting note about the film: Marins didn't direct this himself, instead handing it off to his friend Marcelo Motta, although it is said that Marins maintained control over how the film was shot. As with the other Coffin Joe films, the movie is very surreal and features lots of screams and other weird sound effects that are designed to really put the viewer at unease. Seeing Coffin Joe standing at the counter of a hostel, stroking a stone skull, is not something one easily forgets. It is amazing to me how well these movies stand up, given their age, and Strange Hostel of Naked Pleasures is no different.
3 thumbs way up, the highest praises for taloned benefactor.

Congrats on getting a hold of this one, Duke! It's been on my must-see list for a while. I can only hope someday it falls in my lap. Or perhaps I should fear the same.
Ever since I finished the one-two punch of "At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul" and "This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse," I've kind of half-wondered whether the Coffin Joe movies have to build on one another, or could stand alone? I mean, imagine watching this one and not knowing anything about Coffin Joe--would it have the same effect of awesomeness? Or is the character so big that your knowledge of his awesomeness is a necessary part of the narrative?
Of course, now I realize what a silly question that is. This movie has Naked Hippie Sex. Of course it would still be awesome. ;)
Great write-up!

I caught this film today on IFC in the wee hours of the morning. Excellent write-up. I was so caught up in the awesomeness of CJ that I couldn't follow the story too well. Thank you for pulling it all together for me!

Here's a new poster for "Unknown" staring Liam Neeson as a husband who visits Germany, gets into a car accident that lands him in a coma and then wakes up to find he's been replaced in the world. The horror of it? He has to stay in Germany to try and solve the mystery.
"Alien vs. Ninja" is a Japanese horror flick from the same producers of "Tokyo Gore Police". This means nothing to me because every Japanese horror film is the same, but I suppose it still might excite some. The film which revolves around a ninja who battles and alien hits DVD and Blu-Ray here in the US on February 22nd.
Anyone else remember those "Dorf on Golf" videos? Well Stephen Dorff apparently had nothing to do with those. He did however have a lot to do with "Blade" and is working on details for a prequel that would see him starring in the film as a sort of Scarface Vampire type. Still it would be nice if he did some golfing in a midget outfit. That crap was hilarious.
"There's Nothing Out There" is a movie I've never seen but it's from the gang at Troma so I can pretty much guess what I'd be getting. For those of you who have seen it, or if you want to see it, the 20th anniversary DVD will hit shelves on January 11th. Just in time for that special someone on your holiday list who you don't care enough to see before the actual holidays.

This life, therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed. — Martin Luther
Well-being is not a constant state but an active changing state. Life brings change daily. It is also a process of balance. As Martin Luther said, it is about becoming and it is never finished.
Being aware and tending to our whole being puts us on the right road. Healthy Leaders Living Well at Luther is an opportunity for students to take part in activities offered at Luther which encourage the seven essential elements of well-being: Career Well-being, Social Well-being, Financial Well-being, Physical Well-being, Community Well-being, Intellectual Well-being and Spiritual Well-being.
Recent studies cited in the New York Times and Sojourners find that the health of church leaders has diminished. Stress and expectations make the care of the whole self both difficult and complicated.
Living Well at Luther brings a glimpse of what it means to be ready for the ministry of Jesus Christ. It is NOT easier to take care of ourselves later. The time is NOW.
The Wholeness Wheel* is a guide to balancing all aspects of health. The wheel depicts the interconnectedness of the individual aspects of wellness.
You are the center of the wheel as a new creation through baptism and a member of the body of Christ. Within the wheel are the individual aspects of wellness:
To be whole means to keep these aspects in balance by intentionally nurturing and attending to each. If one area is neglected the whole will be out of balance.

Judaism is a religion that celebrates life and encourages having children. The Hebrew Bible instructs Jews to 'go forth and multiply.' Therefore, children are valued in the Jewish community. The birth of a child is celebrated with a ceremony and the family is showered with gifts. For boys, the ceremony involves a Brit or circumcision to establish their covenant with G-d at eight days old. For girls, the ceremony is about naming the baby. Children's items can come in many forms and are often passed down from generation.
Feel free to search through the children's items section for both religious and non-religious items. Whether you are looking for your child or to give as a gift, there are a lot of options to choose from.
What are Children's Items?
Children's items can range from clothing to school supplies to educational toys and games. When browsing through children's items, it is important to consider the age of the child and the occasion on which you are buying the gift. For infants, cradle accessories, baby pins, and baby rockers are perfect presents. For older children at the beginning of the school year, school supplies such as a backpack or notebooks serve as great gifts. For a birthday, a puzzle or toy is received well. Make sure to look through the Jewish themed children's items such as Aleph Bet materials or Israel placemats.
Children's items may be decorated with a variety of designs. Religious items such as children's Siddurs and Shabbat placemats may feature Hebrew text such as Shabbat Shalom. Hebrew is commonly found on stickers and holiday items such as Purim groggers. Many children's items feature the Hebrew alphabet in order to teach children Hebrew from a young age.

I've been lurking for a while, but haven't contributed, so I figured its time to start!
I took the boys for our 5th successful hammock camping expedition this past weekend. I love the twentymile creek area (flyfishing!) and wanted to head back that way because of its natural splendor (and big rainbow I saw in a particular hole there ;-) ). We stayed at CS93 last year and it was in a nice location, but the site itself was not the most scenic. We decided to try a new area, CS95, Dalton Branch. This was just within my youngest son's (4 years old) 2.5 nile range.
Here is the crew at the trailhead.
Crossing the log footbridges over Moore Springs branch.
The water was high and fast. If you looked down, it would disoreint you quickly!
Jack the oldest loves hunting for salamanders. This is the first of 2011, a blue ridge two-lined salamander.
Floweres were blooming all along the trail. It felt good knowing spring was here.
Wolf Ridge trail eventually turned away from Moore Springs to follow high above Dalton Branch. We passed this huge pine tree along the way. I love huge old trees. (and this photo doesnt do this giant justice.)
The trail was deserted, though we saw a few bootprints in the wet spots of the trail, I suppose everyone was headed further up the trail to the balds. Once we reached the campsite, we had it to ourselves. We quickly set up the hammocks, and took a break.
Here are the boys in their hammocks "bunk bed style". I thought I would have to help Jack into the top bunk, but I turned around for a minute and when I looked back he was already up there!
This was the first trip where I get to sleep alone. The youngest has always slept with me, and I decided this year I was going to actually sleep during our trips. It felt nice to relax in my own hammock.
Pretty nice view too.
After a break I started dinner while Jack and Nolan hung the bags from the bear cables and Eli played me a song on the harmonica.
Nolan loves the show "survivorman" and always likes to make pine needle tea, and here he is enjoying a cup.
We made a nice roaring campfire and sat around it talking, and telling stories until 10pm.
This guy was having a good time sitting around the fire, but was starting to get tired.
I know this picture is blurry, but I think you guys can forgive, I was laying in the hammock when I took it, and the wind kept rocking me. I tried to take a long exposure so you could see just how bright the full moon was. It was the most beautiful night Ive spent in the woods. The hammock was lined up perfectly so as the moon came up it passed right over me.
The hike back was fun, we had a good time ( a great time, one of our best trips ever!), though I still didnt catch the big one (trout). Ill be back!

This month, no day of the week is off limits for "making party". So, on Monday night TransWorld headed up to LA for what was definitely the party to end all parties, the WE Clothing Store Grand opening on Robertson Boulevard.
WE is a clothing company based out of Stockholm, Sweden. Managing Director Greger Hagelin says, "WE was built by a tightly-knit group of people with a solid background in clothing, skateboarding and snowboarding. It is neither a skateboard nor a snowboard clothing company; WE is an urban fashion company with its roots in skateboarding and snowboarding.
Skateboarders and snowboarders who are part of the WE Activists are Chris Pastras and Jason Lee (who started Stereo skateboards), vert skater Mathias Ringstrom and snowboarders Ingemar Backman, Fredrik Sarvell, Michi Albin, and Whistler rider Tosh Osaka.
The night started at the new store on 144 South Robertson Blvd and continued to the downtown Standard Hotel. It was all velvet ropes and open bar on the rooftop. Who was there? Beck.
Who else? Hard tellin' not knowin'. Familiar faces in the crowd included Wille Yli Youma, Alexis Waite, Max Jenke, and Sal Masakela. Other faces were the chartered planeload of WE employees brought over from Sweden for this one night.
The best part of the party was what didn't happen. The rumor mill was cranking overtime. "The Beastie Boys are going to play." "Justin Timberlake got turned away at the velvet ropes." "The pool is going to get drained and a heavy skate sess will commence."
It turns out that the fashion show and the open bar were the highlights and Leah Stassen captured it. Check the slideshow to see what you'll be wearing next season and how beautiful the LA people really are.

text: Can some assist me in creating a script that does this. Monitor Eth0 & Eth1 and httpd service. If interface Etho or Eth1 doesn't respond to pings for 5 minutes, the server should do a shutdown. Also if the httpd service isnt running or stopped for any reason shut the machine off. So basically any of these conditions will initiate a poweroff. Thanks This is what ive done so far . Im still missing the ping section. Is what i'm doing correct? #!/bin/sh SERVICE='httpd' Inter0=`/sbin/ifconfig | grep eth0 | awk '{print $1}'` Inter1=`/sbin/ifconfig | grep eth1 | awk '{print $1}'` if ps ax | grep -v grep | grep $SERVICE > /dev/null then echo "$SERVICE service running" else sleep 30s shutdown -h now fi if [ -z $inter0]; then sleep 30s shutdown -h now fi if [ -z $Inter1]; then sleep 30s shutdown -h now exit

All you need is some Christmas background paper ( I used Cosmo Cricket Thumpity Thump Thump), a 3 5/8" x 8 1/2" card base, 3 shades of green cardstock ( I used Bazzill), a scrap of brown and a scrap of white cardstock, a verse stamp (I used erry Christmas from JustRite Christmas Mini Sentiments Set), a button, red and white bakers twine and Spellbinders™ S5-028 Nested Pennants and E8-003 Classic Triple Scallop! Oh, and I've used a little Antique Linen Distress ink around the edges of the card!
First, I cut the DP and adhered it to the card base. I rubbed Distress Antique Linen ink around the edges.
Next, I cut the tree pieces. The trunk is cut with the long narrow banner from Spellbinders Nested Pennants. You can see it adhered to my card base in the photo.
For the tree, I cut one of each of the pennants from 3 shades of green card stock. So easy to do with Spellbinders Grand Calibur machine because all 3 can be cut at one time! Then I used the Spellbinders Classic Triple Scallop Edgeabilities™ to cut the edge of each pennant. Two can be cut at the same time aligning the pennants next to each other and then taping the Edgeabilities in place over both. Such a great edge for a pine tree!
To assemble the tree, I added Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L - 3D Foam Squares along the bottom edge and regular adhesive at the top. I placed the trunk and then added each layer using 3D Foam Squares on each one.
I cut another banner for the verse from white cardstock and stamped the verse in red. I trimmed the banner to fit the verse. I added it to the top of the tree and placed a button with bakers twie over it. I added the bakers twine garland to the tree after assembly. It would be much easier to add it to each layer!
To make this card more mailable, simple cut a small circle of card stock to replace the button. That will be much flatter. The thickness of the button makes the card non -machinable and requires more postage!
Happy Creating!!!

How & when in-car video can help officers in court
Exploring the legalities surrounding taped evidence
By Mark T. Baganz, Esq.
Legal columnist for The Police Marksman magazine
Presently, video tapes are being used by appellate courts. Most recently the US Supreme Court Justices had the opportunity to review video evidence from a squad car which was involved in a high speed pursuit. The case is Scott v Harris, Supreme Court Docket No. 05-1631. This case involves the question of use-of-force. Oral argument was held before the Supreme Court and the case raises the issue of the use of a squad car to end a high-speed pursuit by making direct contact with the pursued vehicle. The Justices reviewed the video tapes in their analysis concerning an officer's use of force.
Video tapes are also used at the trial court level. Some squad car videos have been used as courtroom evidence to assist in showing the justification for use of force by law enforcement officers. See, for example, Draper v. Reynolds 369 F. 3d 1270 (11th Cir. 2004) (the officer's use of a Taser was a justifiable use of force under the circumstances).
Video tapes from surveillance cameras have been held to have probative value and therefore were admissible in the trial of the suspected robber. See United States v. Curtis 344 F. 3d 1057 (10th Cir. 2003).
It has been held that certain video tape evidence was direct evidence of a defendant's involvement in a drug conspiracy and therefore was admissible into evidence at the defendant's trial. See United States v. Jones 275 F. 3d 673 (8th Cir. 2001).
Video tape evidence has also been reviewed by the court for purposes of determining whether or not there was probable cause for the stop. See, for example, United States v. Muriel 418 F. 3d 720 (7th Cir. 2005).
In light of technological advancements, it has also been held that a digitally enhanced video (in which a video was enhanced by changing the format from analog to digital by a technician using commercially available software) was admissible into evidence at the trial of a defendant charged with arson. See United States v. Seifert 351 F. Supp. 2d 926 (D. Minn. 2005).
Many of the legal issues involving videotapes appear to be those types of questions normally involved with other evidentiary concerns. For example, Federal Rule of Evidence 1001 defines "photographs" to include video tapes. Accordingly, the evidentiary requirements of authentication and identification would have to be met to lay the proper foundation needed to actually get a particular video tape into evidence. See, for example, Federal Rules of Evidence 901 through 903.
Furthermore, the arguments for and against the admissibility of video tape evidence mirror those arguments involved in other areas of evidentiary concern such as challenges based upon arguments relevancy (see, for example, Federal Rules of Evidence 401 and 402) and unfair prejudice (see, for example, Federal Rule of Evidence 403).
Therefore, it seems that the use of video tape evidence, provided that the proper foundation is laid and the other rules of evidence are met, will continue to be admitted into evidence in the courtroom.
However, the question remains – what about the use of video tape evidence before the actual trial? Certainly it is important to prepare for testimony in court. Accordingly it would seem practical for an officer to review his video tape squad camera evidence in anticipation of testifying in court.
Under Federal Rule of Evidence 612 (Writing Used to Refresh Memory) it is interesting to note that the rule itself only contains the word "writing" and does not specifically include video tape or other such electronic visual or audio recording. However, some courts have held that despite the fact that the rule only uses the word "writing" the rule actually encompasses "anything" which a witness uses to refresh memory for purposes of testifying. See Kuklinski v. Rodriguez 203 Wis. 2d 324, 552 N. W. 2d 869 (Ct. App. 1996). Logically, it would seem that a video tape would be the type of material which a witness would be able to review for purposes of testifying in court. Here, too, the focus is on the actual evidentiary concern for trial purposes.
But are we missing the boat? Are we waiting too long to review the field evidence recorded by the video cameras before we even write our reports? Perhaps looking at squad cameras as extensions of the officers themselves would give a new perspective to law enforcement. In other words, conceivably squad cameras could be viewed as a real time, factual recording ("video notebook" if you will) of the circumstances which the officers confronted. Is not the video tape actually an extension of the officers' own personal knowledge of the events surrounding the situation?
This silent eye-witness certainly is going to be used against the officer by defense counsel. There have even been suggestions by some that effective cross - examination of officers would include using the video and a counter to zero in on impeachment issues.
Officers are many times required to make field notes for the purpose of refreshing their memories when they finally get time to write their police reports. Those same officers are allowed to review their field notes for purposes of preparing their written and official reports.
We have equipped officers with the "video notebook." Why would it not be feasible and proper for officers to review their "video notes" for purposes of preparing their written and official reports? After all, the video is recording the events of which the officer herself/himself actually has personal knowledge of. It is a "video writing or recording" of what the officer was actually confronted with.
Final Observations
This article has only scratched the surface of some of the legal issues and department policy considerations confronting officers, departments and municipalities when dealing with "video cameras." The focus of this particular article has been to give a brief synopsis of not only the present evidentiary use of video tapes at trial but also of the potential possible future uses to which the videos could be used to enhance the accuracy of report writing and the establishment of the truth of what actually happened out on that street. Why should the impartial, video witness be excluded from assisting law enforcement officers in the performance of their duties?
Accordingly, in light of the myriad and complex issues involved in video cameras and their potential use and effect, perhaps it would be prudent to evaluate department policies and training in light of the actual standards, duties and obligations imposed by law.
What does your department policy require of officers when they are writing their reports? What are your department's policies concerning the use of video tapes and the reviewing of those "video notes" when writing reports? Are officers entitled to review those video tapes? Are those video tapes only to be used to try a trip up an officer? Are those video tapes an extension of the officer's eyes and ears? What steps has your department taken to train officers with respect to utilizing the squad cameras as investigative tools to enhance accuracy and actually capturing the events on camera?
These are just some issues which should be considered. There are others.
As a final observation, it should be noted that the very nature of video evidence involves the potential for serious, legal consequences. It is strongly recommended that officers consult their respective legal advisors and local municipal attorneys for guidance concerning these issues. They should be addressed at some point in time - preferably sooner than later.

Mexican War Volunteers--Civil War Generals
In addition to going on to earning great laurels or garnering much notoriety in the American Civil War, all of these men had another thing in common: they were all graduates of the United States Military Academy and were, thus, all regular army officers. Yet, of the nearly 100,000 men who served in Mexico, only about twenty-five to thirty percent—some 25,000-30,000 soldiers—were Regulars. The rest were volunteers.
Volunteer units hailed from twenty-four of the nation's twenty-eight states as well as from the District of Columbia; Iowa and California, which at the outbreak of hostilities had yet to achieve statehood, also furnished troops. In all, between 70,000 and 75,000 volunteers, comprising the ranks of 76 regiments and several additional companies, enlisted during the war. Thousands of these men would later serve in both the blue and the gray during the Civil War. And because of their former military experiences in Mexico, most would enter America's sectional conflict as commissioned officers primarily at the regimental level, being mustered in as lieutenants, majors, or colonels, and subsequently rising through the ranks. Take, for example, C. Roberdeau Wheat. Before organizing the famed Louisiana Tigers in 1861 and falling dead while leading his regiment at the battle of Gaines's Mill in June 1862, the 6'4" Wheat served as captain of the Tennessee Company of Mounted Volunteers in Mexico. His is just one of countless examples of volunteer officers who served in both the Mexican and Civil Wars.
Of the thousands of Mexican-American War volunteers who would later serve in the Civil War, more than sixty would become general officers during the latter conflict. This number does not include West Point graduates who served in volunteer organizations in Mexico and as generals in the Civil War, men such as Jubal Early, Henry Naglee, Samuel R. Curtis, Lloyd Tilghman, Goode Bryan, and Humphrey Marshall. Instead, the Mexican War volunteers who later became Civil War generals, for the most part, lacked a formal military education, but exhibited an avid interest in martial endeavors and were typically members of a local militia company. And they were those who willingly left their civilian lives behind twice to serve in uniform.

Average Price For Sale & Sold Report
What Does Average Price For Sale & Sold graph mean?
- The Average Price For Sale is the average of list price of the properties for sale in a particular month. The Average Price Sold is the average of sold price of the properties sold in a particular month. Displaying both the Average Price For Sale and Average Price Sold line charts in a graph portrays the relationship between the on and off market pricing.
What Does Average Price For Sale & Sold Report Do?
- It helps determine whether the market is a buyer or seller market. If the average listing price and average sold price are the closest, the area has the healthiest market.
- It helps identify where the softest market is and where the buyer can find the biggest price concessions.
- It helps determine if there is any change in property value for a specific area.
How to Use Average Price For Sale & Sold Report?
- Refer to For Sale vs. Sold Report for the number of properties sold. If a very expensive or very cheap home has been sold, these statistics can be skewed up or down, and the trend line can fluctuate with less consistency.
- If the average sold price is below the average listing price, and falling, the market is moving toward a buyers' market. If the average sold price trend is up or above the average listing price, the market is moving toward a sellers' market.

The Tropicana Book (Cantor) has huge screens, is close to the cashier, but best of all, it's a 3-minute walk to MGM's book and a 5-minute walk to Hooters' Book, for your price shoppers. I know of no other Vegas strip book that is this close to two other competing books.
Now downtown has short walking distance between books for the super price shopper.
