Every lady (young and old) should essentially strive to be ladylike, this does not necessarily mean you wear pink hues all the time or wear bows in your hair and act pretty all the time. It is about lady like values and etiquettes, expected behaviours and many more.
Among a lot of other ways, a proper lady should work on these:
1) Dress The Part.
A lady should be impeccably and appropriately dressed for any occasion, she should be well put together at all times. There shouldn't be obvious pant lines, bra straps /'funny' things should be kept private!
2) Posture Alert.
A lady should stand upright every time, a good posture is also a sign of confidence. Don't slouch ladies.
3) Modesty Matters.
A lady ought to be dressed modestly, talk modestly...be modest at all times; going over board/ being unnecessarily loud is not attractive.
4) Attitude and Good Manners Matter
A lady should put her best forward every time, a good attitude will take ladies (and guys) a very long way.
5) Voice
A lady shouldn't speak or yell at the top of her voice when talking to people or even on the phone by all means speak up but no shouting or yelling! It only makes you look crazy
6) Actions Speak Louder
A lady should have a good disposition to people and things around, watch your actions; a sweet genuine smile doesn't do anyone any harm so by all means smile!
7) Do The Final Appearance Check
Just before stepping outside your house, take a final look at your appearance- tame the straying hair, spray the last whiff of fragrance etc, if you like what you see then you are good!

"It's not the consumer's job to know what they want," one of the greatest Steve Jobs quotes of all time. How would a consumer know that they want a device that they have never fathomed existing before such as a gadget smaller than a checkbook that can hold over 2,000 songs, or a revolutionary touch screen phone with a widescreen iPod and irreplicable web accessibility, or a touchable "pad" smaller than a piece of paper than can email, surf the web, and watch movies. This is what Steve Jobs did best, envisioned and created consumer desire where there was none. Jobs created a cult following in his products by shaping his brand perception so precisely. A true Mac follower wants the new Apple product even before they know what it is. 30 million iPads, 100 million iPhones, and 300 million iPods were not sold solely because they were great products (though they are), they were sold because of the ethos of the Apple brand that people identify so strongly with. The ethos of Apple is where Steve Jobs' genius really shined.
When we think back to the most memorable commercials of all time, we think of Britney Spears and Pepsi, "Can you hear me now" from Verizon, Budweiser frogs, and of course the 1984 Apple Commercial. The 1984 commercial started the Apple ethos that PC users were mindless drones slaving to Big Brother, and everyone unique, hip, and passionate were clearly Apple. We have seen this idea in almost every Apple marketing campaign since 1984, including the "10th funniest commercial of all time"- Apple's Stuffed (pictured left), where streamlined Josh Long in jeans and t-shirt embodies Mac and the "stuffed" man in a suit waddling around represents PC. Mac is perceived as the computer of the youth, which is most evident on college campuses (shown right).
Steve Jobs was on the forefront of forming and constantly maintaining this perception of Apple. Jobs personified the mac image in himself. When Apple would announce the release of a new product, Jobs would be there presenting it and championing the brand in his jeans and black turtleneck. He personally stood behind and promoted every single product Apple touched, how many CEO's can you say that about? This dedication to the business and brand is what made Jobs one of the most well known executives of all time.

It's Payday for Ashton Kutcher
Not too shabby, Ashton. With Charlie Sheen's character soon to be killed off Two and a Half Men, Ashton Kutcher is set to become the highest-paid actor on television. Kutcher is said to be pulling down $700,000 per episode—not quite the $2 million Sheen reportedly took in, but not bad either. In an interview with Details magazine, Kutcher said he'd been "flirting" with the idea of going back to TV for a while. "When this opportunity came up, I thought to myself, why not?" Why not, indeed.

Matt ColeMatt Cole had a buddy who thought Matt should be in porn, so he sent photos to a few studios. Cole became a star almost overnight. He had an appealing everyman quality, a muscular build and 8 cut inches. His first scenes were shot in 2005, and two years later, with his popularity still soaring, he left porn to concentrate on his business as a personal trainer. He attempted a comeback four years later, but the world no longer took note. Matt gave one of his best performances in Bedroom Eyes (RSS 026), for Raging Stallion. Matt is initially partnered with Anthony Martinez for a flip-fuck with lots of kissing and rimming. Anthony cums and goes, leaving Matt with blue balls. Dirk Jager comes to Matt's rescue. After some reciprocal sucking, Jager picks up where Martinez left off. The longer and harder he gets fucked, the more Matt gets into it, until his ass virtually acquires a life and movements of its own.

Tim Kane is an economist, a graduate of the Air Force Academy and veteran Air Force Intelligence officer. He is committed to serving our nation, and has chosen this book as a way of continuing to serve by challenging the existing policies that are causing our military to bleed top talent. The sub-title of "Bleeding Talent" lays out Kane's basic premise: "How the U.S. Military Mismanages Great Leaders and Why It's Time for a Revolution."
His conclusions line up well with the anecdotal evidence I have seen and heard in working with transitioning military officers. The survey, conducted by the author in 2010, questioned graduates of the West Point classes of 1989, 1991, 1995, 2000, 2001, and 2004. A total of 250 individuals responded to the survey questions. The most often cited reasons for leaving the military are as follows:
- Frustration with military bureaucracy
- Family
- Other life goals
- Higher potential income
- Frequent deployments
- Limited opportunity in the military
(Page 97)
The author offers some compelling analysis, historical perspective and case studies of very bright men and women who have chosen to leave the military before serving a full career. He cites the results of the study conducted mentioned above. His conclusions have been called into question by some based on the small sample size he used in drawing his conclusions. In a doctoral dissertation being completed at Harvard Business School, U.S. Army Colonel Everett Spain reaches different conclusions about Army personnel policies. It will be interesting to hear a dialogue between Tim Kane and Everett Spain once Colonel Spain's treatise has been published.
As a recruiter who has placed a number of distinguished former officers, I have long been interested in this issue of the retention of talent by our military. I find myself personally torn. On the one hand, as a recruiter, I am delighted to have access to candidates who are among the best and the brightest and who have honed their management and leadership skills while serving as military officers. On the other hand, as a citizen of this nation, I am troubled when I see gifted soldiers, airmen, sailors and Marines leaving military service due to frustrations that could have been prevented if our military's system of managing human capital were based on more of a meritocracy and less of a bureaucracy.
One of the main lessons I took away from reading this book was a deeper understanding of just how complex and interwoven are the problems in our military's personnel management systems. I had assumed that systems change could be implemented if there simply enough will by the right military leaders. Kane makes it clear that there would have to be new legislation enacted in parallel with policy changes within the DOD for a real revolution to take place in human capital management within our military.
Mr. Kane deserves our thanks for pushing this conversation to the forefront of public awareness.
Enjoy reading and discussing this book.

The Optical Distance Sensor uses a pulsed light signal to return a value representing the distance from a target surface. As the distance from the target changes the returned value changes indicating whether the movement is towards the target or away from the target.
The ODS operates by pulsing an LED to illuminate the target surface and measuring the strength of the reflected signal. The returned value will vary for the same distance as the reflectivity of the target surface varies.

We often think of nursing home abuse as physical, sexual or psychological. Certainly, some nursing home residents are victims of these abuses. However, one of the most common forms of nursing home abuse is neglect.
Whether the neglect is intentional by staff members or the result of a facility being understaffed or not properly training and overseeing employees, nursing home neglect can result in injuries, deteriorating health and even death.
West Virginia residents who have loved ones in nursing home often can't visit them every day to help ensure that they're being properly cared for. However, there are some red flags that you should look for whenever you visit a family member. These can indicate serious and potentially dangerous neglect.
- Unsanitary conditions. Nursing homes must abide by state requirements for providing a sanitary, comfortable and safe environment. Look at your loved one's bedding, clothing, bathroom facilities and even the kitchen. Infections can spread rapidly throughout a facility that's not properly cleaned and where precautions aren't taken to prevent the spread of bacteria and disease.
- Malnutrition and dehydration. These can both lead to serious medical conditions. It's been estimated that one-fifth on nursing home residents suffer from malnutrition. It can result from poor staffing and employees not ensuring that residents are eating properly and consuming enough water.
- Mobility issues. Many nursing home residents have mobility challenges. However, good nursing homes have programs to help residents improve mobility and strength as much as possible. If a loved one's mobility is deteriorating without an obvious reason, find out what his or her physical routine is. You also want to ensure that the problem isn't due to an injury suffered in the facility.
- Poor hygiene. Many nursing home residents need help with the daily personal routines of bathing, brushing their teeth and getting dressed. Nursing home staff should be assisting them, If your loved one's personal hygiene seems to be suffering, bring it to the attention of the staff and management.
Of course, you should also keep an eye out for injuries, deterioration in health and psychological issues and address those with the people in charge of the facility. West Virginia also has a Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program you can contact for assistance. If you believe that a loved one has been harmed by nursing home neglect, it may be wise to contact an attorney to find out what your legal options are.

Report 042: Su-25 Frogfoot
Another report it's here, this time is to focus only in one single family, the Su-25.
At the moment, the development is already at full speed, however the lack of recent reports is because of the fact that current the development pipeline is quite different from what it was while alpha funding stage.
While in the alpha it was important to maintain a stable build, the development was forced to always be made in small steps and tested before release, but now the development can be progressed simultaneous in multiple features, and it is possible to only finish a features after all the other interacting mechanics are equally completed.
Which this makes these features take more time to be considered completed.
To avoid the reports presented becoming an empty promise, I prefer only to talk about features in report after they are mostly done, so this new development method is less useful to generate a constant stream of reports that the previously used.
The same applies to the aircrafts in the game, they only will be presented where when the all the family is done.
At the moment there are several aircrafts and features close to their completion, so you can be assured that very soon there will be a lot to talk about.
Also, about the promised last update for the alpha funders while waiting the game to be completed, I must apologies for that. That build is already finished ready to be released, but the respective content that would be featured in that last build is not fully ready yet.
The problem comes from that in this "closed" development the schedule is very tight and demanding milestones, at least in these first months, so there has been very little time to fulfill those goals.
But to address this issue, one solution that can be releasing that last build and everything that has been initially planned and it isn't been done yet it will be uploaded later.
The only thing you need to be aware is that this last update will not reflect the present state of development in either content or features, but it will include the mission editor now PROPERLY tested and fully working, as it was in that build that were made several missions that will be available in the final build.
But now going back to the main topic of this report, the Su-25, this is actually first family to be fully completed after the game become in closed development, as I said above, there are some other are near their completion, so they will be shown very soon as well.
So, now onto the family:
First about this family in general, the Su-25 was an aircraft developed initially to be a day time light attack fighter.
But due to its shape, which is quite similar to the YA-9, its very often compared to the A-10 and regarded as a CAS aircraft, whoever the main role of this aircraft ground attack while as for the A-10 is primarily for Close air support.
This distinction may appear to be insignificant, but in reality the A-10 is more suited against armor, while the Su-25 is intended for other types of targets similar to some aircrafts like the Jaguar and F-1.
With that said, let's start as usual with the initial prototype, the T-8, sometimes also referred as SPB.
The T-8 shape already resembles the mass produced version, whoever it has some noticeable differences overall.
This version can already carry a significant payload and it is compatible with laser guided weaponry. But the combat capabilities as expected lower than the mass produced version.
But due to the simplicity and traditional wings layout it can be a considered a pleasantly maneuverable aircraft.
The Su-25, a sub sonic attack aircraft and this version already features the shape we are more used to know.
It has the distinctive pitot probes in front of the nose and the air brakes on the tip of the wings.
This version is most common and basic variant, whoever differently to some of the following aircrafts, it features built-in chaff dispersers on top of the engine in addition to the more common flares.
The commercial version of the Su-25 with very slight changes visually.
The su-25K is downgraded version compared to the original SU-25 regarding to avionics, it also lacks in chaff dispensers and uses a less powerful engine, however these changes led to a lost in weight which it gives bit more maneuverability.
The Su-25KM a largely improved version over the Su-25K, it is visually almost identical to his predecessor, with the exception of the shorten tube in the tail.
The Su-25KM, nicknamed 'Scorpion' is a fairly recent update of the venerable series, introducing a glass cockpit, digital map generation software, helmet mounted display, and other modern technology in an attempt to maintain the Frogfoot's performance in a modern battlefield.
This variant is also capable of using NATO armament like the MK-80 bombs and other laser guided weaponry.
Su-25SM is the most modernized variant in the whole family, directly derived from the original Su-25. Although, it may not be as technologically advanced as the T and TM variants, but it features extensive improvements.
Visually it can only be distinguished by the reshaped tail and new airbrakes.
The Su-25SM's modification package upgrades the Su-25's engines with anti-surge technology, as well as a new HUD and vastly improved fire control systems, tripling the accuracy of navigation and guided munitions.
This variant also allows the addition of external radar which grants the capability of firing BVR missiles against air targets.
All these changes will allow this aircraft to be viable beyond the year 2020.
The Su-25UB is twin seat trainer version; it has an higher the dorsal bump to allow room for the instructor pilot.
As derived from the original, it maintains the chaff dispenser on top of the engines.
The Su-25UB sacrifices some fuel carriage for the addition of the second pilot's seat. However, the aircraft does not suffer much reduction in aerodynamic performance and remains fully combat capable.
The Su-25UBM features the same improvements of the SU-25SM but in lesser degree applied to the Su-25UB airframe, it also has the improved airbrakes but also adds a heat disperser rod in the engine nozzles.
The Su-25UBM has been upgraded with additional electronic capabilities, allowing it to undertake reconnaissance, electronic command and target designation roles in a battlefield environment.
Like any other two seat attack aircraft, the presence of a second pilot reduces the workload of the primary and increases the situation awareness in the cockpit, resulting and higher effectiveness against ground targets.
The Su-25U3 born from extensive modifications to the Su-25UB, the changes include cockpit layout and nose to allow three pilots seated in tandem.
Whoever, this change forces the elimination of the IR target designators in the addition to the removal of the airbrakes.
The Su-25U3 is an experimental concept for a three-seat trainer variant of the Frogfoot to increase the efficiency in training new pilots.
As for actual combat, this aircraft can perform recon and tactical data sharing to other friendly aircrafts. However is far less combat capable that other variants as it can't use laser guided weaponry.
The Su-25UTG features an arrestor hook and reinforced undercarriage to be able to operate in aircraft carriers with ski-jump.
This navalized version of the Su-25 the improvements applied to the SU-25UBM like the improved brakes and newer electronics.
The weapons compatible with the Su-25UTG are also wider the past variants, allowing it to use anti ship missiles.
The SU-25T is a highly improved version derivates from the Su-25UBM, but removing the second seat to store more avionics. This version is actually the one that should be compared to the A-10, as it shares the same primary role.
This version also includes a passive infrared jammer in the back of the tail, a reshaped nose with the gun moved to outside of the mainframe.
The Su-25T is a specialized variant geared specifically towards anti-tank combat, with an extended nose containing guidance systems for both laser and TV control. It also boasts an expanded inventory of guided weapons for use against armored targets.
This variant, as it is dedicated to anti-armor and it features all-weather and night attack capability, with this specs, it can be more correctly compared to the YA-10B N/AW (Night/Adverse Weather) of the A-10 family.
The changes made in this Su-25 allow it to operate in heavy smoke and low light our while accurately delivers a board range of ordinance,
The final and ultimate variant of SU-25, adds back the chaff dispenser in top of the infrared jammer and includes higher performance engines to achieve greater speeds and climb rates
The Su-25TM (or Su-39) is a direct upgrade of the highly successful Su-25T, with further upgraded weapons capability allowing it to strike naval targets as well as limited support for more advanced air-to-air munitions.
Although the SU-25T and SU-25TM are considered mass produced, they only were produced in very short number due to their high cost compared to the also very capable Su-25SM.
With all variants presented, let's talk about the family evolution. This is something that it wasn't mentioned extensively until now, but the aircrafts' evolutions will be very important in the final version.
Differently from the alpha builds, in the final version only a limited amount of aircrafts will be available to use as soon you start the game for the first time.
If you if you want to be able to use more aircrafts in all modes besides the campaign, you have to unlock them in the challenge mode.
More details about how the challenge mode will work will be provided latter, but I'll share here the most important ideas for now.
In the challenge mode, every aircraft will have a set of conditions and specific challenges to that unit that must be cleared in order to be able to be used freely.
Also the unlocking of the units must follow the progression if the evolution of that family.
Using the Su-25 as example, the evolution it will presented this way:
If you met the conditions, the first playable unit will be the T-8, after completing the challenges and requirements you will be able to play with it in any game mode, and with that, the Su-25's challenges will become available,
After unlock this one, it will be possible to try to unlock the Su-25K, Su-25SM and Su-25UB, each with different requirements and with their own set of challenges with varying difficulties.
These challenges can be from, destroying a base as fast as possible using only guns, make the fastest lap in an air race, or even collect as many "coins" as possible in a fixed amount of time.
Also, in the actual game, you only be able to see if the aircraft you are trying to unlock has any following variant. So you can consider the image above as a little help you to choose your unlock route the final version.
In alternatively anyone that knows the evolution of that family will surely be able to go focus in a specific branch to be able to reach the desired variant faster.
One last tip, trainers will have a significant role in this mode, as every plane will have some requirements in form of accumulative points dispersed in several categories, with one type of points is family points, which they are earned by playing with specific aircrafts.
And for this, the trainers will be very helpful as they give more family points than any other variants.
AN in this case, the Su-25U3, will give more Su-25's family points than any other.
But this will be explained latter in more depth when the challenge mode is implemented.
Stay tuned, more reports will follow.

I'm digging the Su-39's livery.
The Su-25U3 is something I haven't heard of before until recently, about last month or so; very unusual concept.

A Stop-Motion Documentary About Food Talking About Food
What would your food say if it could talk?
I'm not certain what mine would say as I've never stopped long enough to allow it to voice its opinion. I love food and looking at people's food porn on Instagram makes me equal parts hungry and jealous that I'm not there partaking in such exquisite cuisine (or even the run of the mill pizza and beer).
Chinese animator Siqi Song also loves food. She also loves bringing stuff to life in stop motion animation, so naturally combining the two loves was bound to happen. After speaking with different people about food and their preferences, she was surprised to find how different their opinions were and how much food affected their lives (if you've ever been on a diet, you'd understand all too well). Speaking with vegetarian, vegan, pescetarians, and meat eaters, she recorded their statements and then edited the soundtracks and rebuilt the conversation using stop motion animated foods to speak for themselves.
The documentary, in an ironic and sarcastic way brings attention to food, the way we see it, the way we eat it and the way we think about it. The film, Song hopes will bring in discussion about various topics in the food industry including the meat industry, urban environment and life choices all in a slightly humorous, non threatening manner.
Because who doesn't love a raw chicken gushing about how much it loves eggplant? Enough to marry it.

David Levinson, Developer, cuts the ribbon to open the new facility. Pictured left to right are, Wonder Years owner, Betty Hunnicutt, Representative Jimmy Love, NC House, John Thomas, President of the Spring Lake Chamber of Commerce, David Levinson and Spring Lake Mayor Ethel Clark.
Grand Opening for the first LIFE LONG LEARNING CENTER in a gated community, ANDERSON CREEK CLUB. This unique facility appears to be the first of its kind in the nation.
Typically found in a college or university setting, the concept for an on-site facility for the community originated with David Levinson, developer of Anderson Creek Club, who believes that people today have a heightened desire to ensure that not only their children receive a sound foundation for learning and schoolwork but also to expand their own knowledge and experiences beyond their formal education. Residential developments and communities must provide facilities to meet their needs. While Anderson Creek Club may be the first to do so, he believes that other developments in the Fayetteville area will soon do the same, which will be beneficial for everyone.
The new building is divided into three wings housing the development and administration offices, Wonder Years and Patriot Hall.
Wonder Years, operated by Betty Hunnicutt of Fayetteville, NC, is an early care and education program for children from 6 weeks to school age, including pre-school, pre-K and before/after school care for grades K – 5. Summer camps for school aged children and early childhood programs will be provided in a safe, healthy, nurturing environment, while meeting the needs of the children and their families. Wonder Years brings a well-established program that includes:
● Video monitored classrooms ● Safe nurturing environment ● Award winning development programs ● Superior sanitation rating ● Hot meals, including breakfast ● Infant feeding program ● Pre-school and Pre-K curriculums ● Well trained, experienced staff
Patriot Hall is a multi-purpose facility providing a setting for lectures, seminars, continuing education, workshops, book club, guest speakers, educational programs and resources. In addition to the normal activities found in a traditional community center, such as exercise classes, it will also be available for Scouting meetings, banquets, weddings and private parties supported with a full service commercial kitchen.
Anderson Creek Club is a 1700 acre master planned development located just north of Spring Lake, featuring a Davis Love III signature golf course, clubhouse, full amenity package and beautiful homes and condominiums from the $130's to the $900's. For more information, visit their website: http://www.andersoncreekclub.com or contact Anderson Creek Realty, exclusive agents, (910) 814-2633.

Biology and CultureEdit
The Togrutas were a carnivorous humanoid species from the planet Shili. The race exhibited head-tails, lekku, which were similar to those of Twi'leks, which suggested a common ancestry. Togrutas were also distinguished by montrals, large hollow horn-like projections from the top of their heads, that gave the species a form of passive echolocation.
In order to protect themselves from dangerous predators, and to hunt their own prey, Togrutas banded together in dense tribes and relied on their natural pigmentation to disrupt and confuse the slow-witted beasts. Togrutas worked well in large groups, and individualism was seen as abnormal within their culture, although it was also a necessary quality in leaders.
The Togrutas had rusty skin tones ranging in hue from orange to red, with white pigmentation on their faces, and greyish lips. White stripes also adorned various parts of their bodies, including their chests, legs, backs, arms, lekku , and montrals. The pattern of stripes varied from individual to individual. This red and white pattern was a phenotype left over from their ancestor's camouflage that helped them to blend in with their natural surroundings, especially the red-and-white turu-grass which dominated Shili's scrublands.
Their heads bore two montrals, and three, rarely four head-tails, whose stripes were darker than those of the montrals. Togruta had the ability to sense the proximity and movement of physical objects around them by means of their hollow montrals, which detected space ultrasonically. Young Togrutas' montrals and posterior head-tail did not fully grow until adolescence, when their montrals become curved and their third head-tail grew to the length of their two main head-tails.
As predators, Togrutas had sharp incisors, which they used to painlessly kill thimiars, their primary prey, causing the creatures postmortem death spasms. This gave outsiders the false impression that Togrutas were venomous. However, Togrutas did nothing to dispel this misconception and even took advantage of the intimidating presence it gave them.
Togrutas had a strong sense of unity and togetherness. On their native homeworld of Shili, they relied on each other and would band together to take a stand against the massive monsters that hunted them, such as the akul. It was said that the creatures of Shili most often attacked in groups, which was even more reason for the native Togrutas to work together. While most of Shili was covered in the scrublands where the Togrutas would hunt their prey, the Togrutas lived in small communities in the forest valleys, where the canopies kept them out of sight.
Togrutas were known for their habit of not wearing shoes; they believed that the land was spiritually connected to them, and wearing shoes cut themselves from a bond with the land. In the pack, every able Togruta was expected to contribute his or her own share, as any food attained was distributed equally. Togrutas were also known for their belief that those who could not keep up should be left to fend for themselves, as that was nature's way. Those within a pack who led had a difficult time with fulfilling their goals because of the risk of becoming individualistic, which was something shunned in Togruta culture. As hunters, the Togrutas showed off the pelts and teeth of their game as a sign of pride and maturation. Ironically, special pride was taken in the teeth of akul that a Togruta had taken down as an individual. These teeth often were made into jewelry such as an akul-tooth headdress or a necklace, which also incorporated metals, stones, and pearls found on Shili. Togrutas spoke the Togruti language, which had a few elements of Basic.
Togrutas were tranquil and silent, though when the situation called for it they were true warriors. Their fidelity to their beliefs was legendary, as was their happiness within large groups. Togrutas, not surprisingly, excelled at teamwork and had the ability to associate with different cultures. To an extent, Togrutas had an aversion to isolation and made efforts to have friends around for companionship.
Special AbilitiesEdit
Camouflage: Togruta characters possess colorful skin patterns which help them blend in with natural surroundings, much like the stripes of a tiger. This provides them with a +2 pip bonus to hide skill checks.
Spatial Awareness: Using a form of passive echolocation, Togruta can sense their surroundings. If unable to see, a Togruta character can attempt a Moderate search skill check. Success allows the Togruta to perceive incoming attacks and react accordingly by making defensive rolls.
Story FactorsEdit
Believed to be Venomous: Although they are not poisonous, it is a common misconception by other species that Togruta are venomous.
Group Oriented: Togruta work well in large groups, and individualism is seen as abnormal within their culture. When working as part of a team to accomplish a goal, Togruta characters are twice as effective as normal characters (ie, they contribute a +2 pip bonus instead of a +1 pip bonus when aiding in a combined action)

It's almost spring and I'm beginning to get a little giddy. Winter in Montana is a bit.. shall we say.. intense. This winter in particular was colder and snowier then normal and was our first winter here since moving from Seattle. Heaps of snow and several occasions of -20 degrees below zero (that's fahrenheit folks!) I really can't wait for short weather, and so I couldn't resist sewing my boy a pair.
The pattern I used was the Sketchbook Shirt & Shorts by Oliver + s in size 18-24 months. Most of the kids sewing patterns I use are by them; they are so well written and easy to follow! The fabric is a medium weight organic canvas in color avocado from goodness know's where as it has been living in my stash for an eternity. I don't know about you but I get a serious thrill out of using up stash fabric! I love the casualness of these otherwise dressy shorts in this fabric and the lived in rumple of the canvas. I opted in with the optional button and went for a rustic wooden one.
Blurry action shot 🙂
I lined the pockets and modified the waistband to accommodate my contrast fabric called Country Mice from the Nursery Versery collection by Heather Ross. I have a serious Heather Ross addiction. I love how the colors work perfectly together. As a finishing touch I added a little hand stitched label. I can't get over how much a little label adds to the finished garment.
Mouse in your pocket? Yes please.

I wanted to make a little WPFe(Silverlight) application to celebrate the start of the new year. I had a bunch of ideas, but only a little time tonight. I took the Game of Life demo from Scott and changed it into a bubble pattern generator. It's not very practical, but I had fun making it and it's interesting to watch

Goal 1: Developing and modeling exemplary teacher training programs.
To address this goal, CE-MIST will develop and model programs that are: collaborative, field-based, use state-of-the-art technology and use proven strategies. The new MLE program at USCA is an important step forward for the university as it continues to take a role in preparing quality teachers for the P-12 educational system. USCA's commitment to the MLE Program is clear, and the commitment to the CE-MIST project is a natural continuation of this process. Through the CE-MIST project, USCA plans to develop a state-of-the-art program in MLE. The School of Education is committed to making significant programmatic changes to accommodate the middle school model as supported in educational research. This commitment leads to USCA's goal to model a state-of-the-art MLE program for other institutions in South Carolina.
Objective 1: Incorporate reading in the content areas into content methods classes.
Objective 2: Offer courses and workshops for in-service teachers.
Objective 3: Develop pre-service, field-based experiences in teaching.
Objective 4: Empower teachers to work with students scoring below basic.
Goal 2: Providing hands-on, inquiry-based, research-supported programs.
CE-MIST will provide hands-on, inquiry-based, research-supported programs that incorporate innovative practices in teaching middle-level children with diverse backgrounds and learning styles from targeted low performing schools. Goal 2 is related to Goal 1 but shifts the focus from teacher to student. The middle-level students will have opportunity to engage in these activities at the RPSEC at the USCA, which will introduce them to a higher education institution and allow them to benefit from the state-of-the-art, RPSEC facility. Students will also have opportunity to engage in similar activities at their schools.
Objective 1: Engage middle-level students in enrichment programs.
Objective 2: Develop Interdisciplinary Units and Traveling Trunks
Goal 3: Developing an influential constituency for the Center
CE-MIST will develop an influential constituency by following the model exemplified by the RPSEC. The RPSEC has developed an influential constituency through its Advisory Board and Coordinating Committee. The constituency is empowered by the ongoing success of the variety of programs offered through the RPSEC. The RPSEC Advisory Board and the RPSEC Coordinating Committee will provide oversight for CE-MIST. These established and effective groups will be of great benefit to CE-MIST. A new group, the CE-MIST Advisory Council, will be created during this project. This group will be composed of individuals from each of the partner schools, USCA and key individuals with backgrounds in middle-level philosophy. It is clear that plans are in place to develop an influential constituency that will promote the successful implementation of the CE-MIST program.
Objective 1: Develop an influential constituency for the CE-MIST.
Goal 4: Achieving a position of leadership in the state
As CE-MIST develops and models exemplary teacher training programs and develops an influential constituency, there will be a natural progression to achieving a position of leadership in South Carolina. CE-MIST will follow the pattern of achieving a position of leadership in the state modeled by the RPSEC and the Central Savannah River Area Mathematics and Science Regional Center (CSRA MSRC). Both of these organizations will have a close association with CE-MIST and well help ensure that CE-MIST reaches its goal of achieving a position of leadership in the state.
Objective 1: Develop and model a strong program.
Goal 5: Develop a detailed research agenda
Objective 1: Compile an understanding through a literature review.
Objective 2: Develop a research agenda.
Objective 3: Application of Research findings.

A NYT article on efforts to change Italy's labor laws contrasted the protections for Italian workers with those for workers in the United States. It told of the lengthy legal process that an employer had to follow to fire a worker who he alleged had been caught stealing with the situation in the United States:
"By contrast, a private sector employer in the United States could have terminated the worker as soon as a theft was detected, unless a union contract was involved or antidiscrimination laws were violated."
Actually, a private sector employer can terminate a worker who it thinks is stealing, even if they never caught the worker. In fact, they can fire the worker just because they think they are the type of person who might steal or just because they don't like him or her. Workers who are not protected by union contracts or civil service guidelines can be fired any time for any reason that does not violate anti-discrimination laws.
The one exception to this rule is the state of Montana. Montana has just cause dismissal, which means that employers must have a reason for firing a worker.
[Addendum: It would have been appropriate to speak to a union representative or at least someone other than an employer to get their perspective on this issue. The folks at the NYT apparently are under the impression that employers always tell the truth. In fact, this is sometimes not the case.]

We've heard our share of "born in the back seat of the car" birth stories in our day. But this one has a bit of a twist.
Police in the U.K. were in hot pursuit of a speeding car last Friday night, as it reached 100 MPH along a busy motorway. To any onlooker, the car seemed to be on the run. When cops finally pulled the car over, they were expecting a bit of a situation — they just weren't sure which kind. A fleeing robber perhaps? A felon on the run? A stolen vehicle?
But nope. Instead, they found a frantic grandpa-to-be by the name of Colin Ellmore behind the wheel. In the backseat? Oh, just his daughter Tiffany, giving birth.
As BBC News reports, 26-year-old Tiffany Ellmore had started to go into labor when she asked her dad to take her to the hospital. But that labor came on fast and furious, and before long, Tiffany found herself pushing right there in the car.
By the time cops had chased the car down — which had to be boxed in by seven police officers in four different cars to force it to stop — little Lola Mia Rose was already on her way out.
"We boxed [the car] in forcing it to stop and when it did the driver got out and we thought he was running off," Sergeant Simon Goss of the Hampshire Police later told Portsmouth News. "But he ran around the car to the passenger side and shouted something about a baby. When we got to the car, we saw the baby in the man's hands. I have never experienced anything like it before."
The new mom was immediately brought to the hospital by ambulance, along with her new baby girl, who weighed in at 6 pounds, 4 ounces. Both are reportedly happy and healthy in the wake of an otherwise pretty chaotic day.
As for Gramps? Cops let the newbie grandfather slide, and didn't issue him a speeding ticket after all.

Here are some previous threads about using airsoft for training:
The Value of Airsoft handgun practice as practice
Basement range for dryfire/airsoft?
Airsoft Blowback Pistols for Training?
I have been useing a Gas Blow back airsoft gun to get in some extra practice, rounds are really cheep and it still has some blowback, what is your thoughts on this, I just like it because I can get in some target practice in my backyard
Here are some previous threads about using airsoft for training:
The Value of Airsoft handgun practice as practice
Basement range for dryfire/airsoft?
Airsoft Blowback Pistols for Training?
I played airsoft for the first time today actually. The rental gun I was using was an AEG without any blowback so maybe the nicer gas guns wouldnt be as bad, but I can definitely see it leading to sloppy technique as far as stance and overall recoil control. Keep that stuff in mind and it seems to have its place as a training tool, especially if range availability is limited.

Having spent a fair bit of time trying to make airsoft a viable training option (if my practice journal is still around you can see the progression there) I will say the juice is not worth the squeeze. In fact, training with airsoft caused more issues in my shooting than it helped. When you use airsoft (gas blowback) you start to learn the timing and recoil of that gun. When you go back to your real gun you will quickly realize the damage you have done. There are lots of other detractors in my opinion, like weight, sights, magazines, etc. Again, it caused more problems than it solved and I would not recommend it to anyone serious about their shooting.
"Experience is the hardest teacher. It gives you the tests first and the lessons later." - Oscar Wilde.

My experience mirrors AJZ's. My recoil control got much worse and I developed a flinch, I think because I got away with gripping the airsoft pistol very lightly. I spent about 6 to 9 months experimenting with it, shot a bullseye and small reactive steel targets every morning.
I think the value of Airsoft for training is mostly in FoF scenarios similar to an ECQC class. The actual shooting part plays such a small role in the training that shooting a few rounds through an Airsoft gun won't harm you when you transition back to your real gun. It's very important to have mature role players and a realistic script they need to stick to. If the training devolves into a childish Airsoft battle, then it has no value. If you're part of a training group that works on good FoF scenarios, then Airsoft is way more budge friendly than Sims or UTM.
My posts only represent my personal opinion and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or official policies of my employer. Obvious spelling errors are likely the result of an iPhone keyboard.
I've owned a bunch. They're all toys in the end, dry fire in a basement is far more useful.
Semper Gumby, Always Flexible
I second their use in FOF. Better option that in the older days with Code Eagle Revolvers. For handling skills, not so much. I had a airsoft and a sticky target that I used to shoot but switched to a SIRT and dry fire of an obviously empty real gun.
Echoing above.......excellent option for FOF, and it requires very little PPE as opposed to Simrounds or UTM.

Mission 1 - Pumpkin Problems
|W:A replay: Mission 1
|Download · Info
- Walk to the right edge of the pumpkin that you start on and fire a ninja rope just below the oil drum. Retract the rope and try to bounce the rope off of the floor until you gain enough speed to move yourself over the oil drum so you can collect the crate containing the Baseball Bat. Walk behind the artillery worm next to you and aim your baseball bat horizontally and fire. The worm will fall into the three mines below, opening a hole down to the vital crate.
- Walk to the crate and collect it.
Mission 2 - Operation Market Garden
Use girders to get your worms into positions where they can shoot straight at the enemy, then just go for it.
Sources: Yoda's Pagedlh.net
Mission 3 - All Quiet in the Library
Chances are you're going to be nuked in this level - you're unlikely to finish it before then. However, that in itself shouldn't be a problem. As suggested, try to get your worms away from the edge before the earthquake (which comes one go after the nuke). If you can (and you don't think the enemy will grab them), leave a health crate or two lying around so you can heal yourself after the nuke strikes.
So long as you're not stupid (ie don't leave worms right near the edge of the landscape, or clustered together), this level should be reasonably easy.

Mission 4 - Cool as Ice
|W:A replay: Mission 4
|Download · Info
- Use a Jetpack to collect the two right-most weapon crates, which contain a Longbow and a Dynamite. Fly back to the polar bear and drop the dynamite to open a hole to reach the enemy.
- Use a Parachute to glide down to the enemy (or your second Jetpack if you still have it), and use the Longbow to knock the enemy into the water.
Mission 5 - Do the Locomotion
|W:A replay: Mission 5
|Download · Info
- Climb up to the tree and firepunch the enemy into the water.
- Blowtorch through the tree, and collect the crate (it contains a girder).
- Place the girder so that you can use it as a ladder to climb to the top of the train.
- Trigger the mine then quickly jump away to avoid harm. The climb down the other side of the train, using the bungee where necessary, and collect the utility crate (it contains a jetpack). Use it to collect the weapons crate on the far right of the map.
Mission 6 - Sand in Your Eye
This one's pretty easy, really... just get to the top of the pyramid with one of your worms fairly early on, and keep plugging away... Don't forget that you have worm select on this round - it can make all the difference! (For instance, the first go is best taken with the worm on the right, on the tree.)
Sources: Yoda's Pagedlh.net
Mission 7 - Not Mushroom Out There...
|W:A replay: Mission 7
|Download · Info
- Attach the ninja rope to the very edge of the mushroom, and swing your worm over on top of the mushroom. This may take a bit of practice. If you are struggling, you can build up extra speed by retracting the rope by holding up. Collect the crate, and use the Girder Starter Pack to build a walkway over the minefield. Stay on the first mushroom, so that Sentry can't shoot you.
- Use the walkway to collect the crate just to the right of the minefield, then teleport to the flashing crate on the far right.
Mission 8 - Big Shot
Note: The briefing text indicates that the mission involves one Worm with an unlimited supply of shotgun bullets is incorrect. The actual ordnance for the mission is:
- 3× Handgun, 2× Uzi, 2× Longbow, 3× Girder, Unlimited Blowtorch.[1]
Firstly, ignore the briefing - you don't have an unlimited supply of shotgun ammo. In fact, you don't have a shotgun at all. You do have an infinite blowtorch, however.
There are no hard-and-fast rules for doing this one - you have to play it by ear. However, here are a few guidelines:
- On your first go, you can set off the nearby mine with the ninja rope without doing yourself any damage. This should hurt Guard a little. Similarly, you can clear the mine on the far left, as the ninja rope has infinite repeat swings.
- Although the enemy can select which worm they use, they can only select amongst one team - this sometimes means you can stand right by one worm, knowing that it can't take the next turn.
- Cannon Fodder (the team with the worms called Sentry) has the first enemy go.
- If a team can't attack you, it may well have a go at the other team. They can do a fair bit of damage to each other while you're busy collecting the crates on the far left.
- Blowtorches can do reasonable damage - I did 45 damage in one turn in this level.
- You have some girders - use them!
- An old woman launched from the top of the highest leaf can easily kill the worm on the mushroom.
- Sudden death can be a pain in the neck or a blessing... just bear it in mind as it comes quite quickly.
Sources: Yoda's Page dlh.net
Mission 9 - Water Surprise
- Stand on your other worm's head and fire the first arrow to the right, horizontally. Fire your second arrow at the highest mine. The best way to ensure a hit is to use the greatest possible firing angle and adjust the position of your worm until you get it right. The mine will bounce off and land at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower. You will need to retreat to the right a little bit to avoid triggering the mine.
- Without moving your worm, fire an arrow upwards with the maximum angle. Use your second arrow to shoot the remaining mine. The best way to ensure hitting it is to position your worm at the bottom of the pyramid's slope, and fire an arrow up with maximum angle. The mine will hit you, but this is unavoidable.
- Move to the bottom of the pyramid's slope and fire both arrows upwards with maximum angle.
- Climb the tower using backflips, then place a long girder so that you can reach the crate.
- Collect the crate and use the aquasheep to kill General. The aquasheep can be flown underwater.
An alternate strategy which is self explanatory:
Mission 10 - Jurassic Worm
|W:A replay: Mission 10
|Download · Info
- Use your Ninja rope to collect the crate containing Mole Bombs on top of the dinosaur's head. Release a mole bomb to the right, and make it start digging when it walks over the first mine.
- Use another Ninja rope to get your next worm on top of the dinosaur, and set off the first mine. This should knock another mine down the hole and into the enemy worm. If it gets stuck inside the tunnel, you can use an Uzi to knock it down the tunnel, or otherwise use your remaining worms to kill the opponent worm.
Mission 11 - Chemical Warfare
This level is fairly straightforward when you get the hang of it. You should poison all the worms you can't reach (as the landscape's indestructible) as soon as you have the skunk. (Until then, use any infinite weapons you have such as the firepunch and uzi to do damage. The worm in the bottom right corner is ripe for a kicking as soon as possible.)
When the poisoned worms have lost all but one point of energy each, start using the shotgun on them carefully. Following these rules, you should have no problems, although it's worth getting under cover, as the enemy will be using plenty of airstrikes.

Because I spent the morning at the Toastmasters Division H & K speech contests, I didn't get to go the Grow Your Own event until early afternoon, and surprise surprise – stayed till closing. And it was very, very worth it.
I think it's no secret that I think that the likes of Monsanto, Bayer, Syngenta and their ilk are the spawn of Satan. Let's be real – they don't like their fellow humans and don't have a problem with poisoning us or our children while telling us how "safe" their pesticides and GMOs are. In other words, believe everything they say, don't worry about the effects on your kids, shut up, buy their safe "food," and eat. Just don't think, ask, or analyze.
Stepping off of the soapbox. It's easy to get me riled!
Grow Your Own is a grassroots movement that encourages people to not only learn how to grow their own food – not an easy feat in Las Vegas, a place notorious for its bad soil and scorching summer heat – but also to patronize those businesses who are trying very hard to provide products, services, and information to those who are ready to cut the GMO/Poison umbilical.
While I had a great time visiting a surprisingly large number of vendors, I want to highlight a couple that really spoke to me.
The first one is Moms Across America, which is another grassroots group that is serious about ridding (not limiting, but GETTING RID OF) herbicides, pesticides, and other products that are proving themselves to be hazardous to humans, the environment, and (mark my words) the climate.
Moms Across America is not a hippie, tree-hugging, kumbaya type of group, but is made up of educated mothers who are pairing – so to speak – the increased use of poison and GMOs to their children's illnesses and syndromes, many of which go undiagnosed/misdiagnosed because the doctors can't figure how the hell these things are happening. Naturally, the apologists and those who make lots of money from advertising are attacking them. How DARE they say that poisons, herbicides, pesticides, pesticide-ready GMO foods are dangerous! They are a quack group! They are fear mongering! After all, GMOs are as safe as cigarettes and as protective as football helmets. Silly women.
The other item was the local nurseries that had plants and hybrids that were well suited for the desert climate, assuming, of course, that you have at LEAST an "aqua" thumb. I wish.
The third item (I know. Way past a couple) was Pahrump Honey Company that had all kinds of local desert honey available. Because The Budget™ said that I had to watch my nickels and dimes, I could only splurge on one thing, and that was the Slide Ridge Honey Wine Vinegar. My review? OMG. Unfortunately, I think that it's not an item that they regularly carry. I could be wrong! A little Pasolivo Olive Oil and this Honey Vinegar = an almost perfect salad dressing.
Enjoy the gallery! And for those of you who live in Vegas, please patronize the local nurseries which are a fount of information for any questions that you may have about farming in the desert. In addition, please please please check out Moms Across America.
If you never gave GMOs a second thought before, spending time on their website will, at the very least, get you thinkin'.

I recently set up an account with hosted-projects.com, because I wanted a Subversion repository more accessible & stable than the one running on my home desktop. I shopped around for a while, and decided on this place - it's a small project, and a starter account is only $7/month, so I figure, what the heck.
My account was set up within a few minutes, even though I ordered after business hours - I'm guessing they've got a pretty good automation system going. I get fast, secure access for unlimited users to unlimited projects in 100M of space, plus a free Trac - not a bad deal. As far as reliability and support, well - only time will tell.
The host is all well and good, but what I really wanted to talk about is Trac. I had looked Trac up some time ago, and decided to take a pass on it - it just wasn't mature enough at the time, and didn't have most of the features I was looking for.
Now, however - after some time, and a few bug tracking schemes - I find myself with a free Trac page sitting around, and I figure, what the hey, I'll give it a shot. And you know what? It still doesn't have some of the features I was looking for. But it works so well, it doesn't matter.
The whole thing runs on a Wiki engine. This Wiki engine identifies all CamelCase as wiki links, which I find a bit annoying, but I got used to it pretty quickly. It lets you easily link to pretty much anything, and inline, too: #123 is ticket 123, r456 is revision 456, etc. It hooks up to your Subversion repo and lets you keep an eye on changelogs and browse the repo; plus, this means if you put properly formatted notes in your commit messages (which isn't hard), you get links in the changelog, for free.
While not quite as versatile as MediaWiki, for example, in terms of page layout and design, it's probably easier to use - and programmers tend to go for form over function anyway. It's a developer's tool. Developers probably won't spend all day perfecting page templates and macros.
The system provides for a roadmap of milestones, a list of issue tickets, the wiki, and the repository. That's it. What's the big deal? How insanely easy it is to wire them all together. With some really basic formatting, you can turn a simple list of milestones into this.
It's got some rough edges, and there are definitely some huge opportunities yet to be taken advantage of - particularly, I have yet to discover decent, proper JavaDoc support, with full wiki integration. I may just have to learn enough Python to write a plugin for it. I'd also really like to see automatic backlinks added to all the internal links.
I know it's still version "0.10.3", but it's pretty stable so far, and everything works pretty well. I have yet to run into any bugs or bad behavior - however, you should keep in mind that this is bleeding-edge software if you're considering deploying it. Don't let that scare you off though: if you don't mind the under-heavy-development label, you really should give this little application a try and see what you think. At the very least, check out Trac's own website to see what it can do.

Occupy Riverdale? ARCHIE's Gang Joins the Movement
Just when it seemed the "Occupy" movement had hit most major cities, the demonstrators are going one step further, taking the cause to Riverdale within the pages of an Archie comic book.
It's the latest effort by Archie Comics to infuse its titles with real-world social issues, from politics to gay marriage. This time, the kids at Riverdale High School take sides after a group of protestors start a local "Occupy Riverdale" movement.
"Archie and Jughead run into the protest on their way to school," writer Alex Segura told Newsarama of the comic's story. "They discover that new kid Andy Martinez is one of the more vocal members of Occupy Riverdale. Word spreads quickly at Riverdale High, and the gang take sides while Archie is left to decide where he stands."
The issue has already been met with controversy, as bloggers have taken sides both for and against. At the center of the discussion is whether Archie has a "liberal agenda."
According to the folks at Archie, including potentially controversial issues in the fictional world of Archie is just an attempt to reflect the real world.
"Jon Goldwater, our CEO, has made a concentrated effort to have Riverdale and the world surrounding Archie and his friends reflect reality," Segura said. "The comics remain true to their roots and are all-ages and funny, but having the stories reflect today makes them that much more relatable. The financial crisis, how people have responded to it and the Occupy movement specifically are big parts of everyone's lives – it's all over the news. It'd be kind of silly to think no one in Riverdale is affected."
And Segura said there will be even more attempts in coming issues.
"[Archie execs] really want Riverdale to reflect the world today, and make Archie and his friends feel more of the moment, so you can expect to see more along the lines of Kevin's wedding, Occupy Riverdale and so on, definitely," Segura said, then hinted there will be announcements about major storylines soon. "We've got a story that'll top Archie Meets Kiss as far as just…'wow' factor. I can't really tease it any more than that. It's going to be big."
But even Archie CEO Jon Goldwater has admitted, in response to questions about the gay marriage comic, that the stories may be less of a reflection of current reality and more of a "hope" for what reality can become. "It's an idealized version of America that will hopefully become reality someday," he said.
This "idealized" — yet social-issue-filled — version of Archie seemed to start in 2010, when President Barack Obama and politician Sarah Palin were featured on the cover of Archie #616. That issue featured the two opponents sharing a milkshake. And the gay marriage comic didn't even mention the controversy over the issue. "Riverdale is a safe, welcoming place that does not judge anyone," Goldwater said.
But even that "safe place" will be disrupted by the "Occupy Riverdale" issue, as Segura will portray some of the controversy involved. Even Betty and Veronica — two characters whose most heated battles in the past involved wanting the same boyfriend — will turn their differences toward economic issues.
"It's not surprising that Veronica – who's one of the richest girls in town – is siding with her father against Occupy," Segura said. "On the flipside, Betty sees a lot of her own family's financial struggles being voiced by the Occupy protesters, so she eventually gravitates toward them."
Yet Segura emphasized that there's still plenty of humor, even among the anger associated with the "Occupy" movement. "I think Archie – while being a humor strip – can still reflect a wide range of emotions and reactions," he said. "The story does begin with anger. The protesters are mad. The people who don't agree with the protest are angry. But there's still plenty of room for humor and levity, and the story progresses toward a funny and – I think – down-to-earth resolution."
While it's obvious that Archie gets a lot of publicity out of the types of issues it's been tackling in its comics, Segura said the genesis of the "Occupy Riverdale" was actually spawned by a comment in response to the gay marriage issue.
"Someone mentioned it in response to the Kevin Keller wedding, kind of in a 'Huh, what will you do next? Occupy Riverdale?' And it stuck!" he said. "You see Archie serve as the viewpoint character, and we see him grapple with both sides of the issue and come to a conclusion of his own."
And the writer said that although he's not an Occupy protestor himself, he has tried to represent the movement realistically. "My direct interaction with Occupy Wall Street is limited – but I have followed the news and done a fair amount of research," he said. "I have a friend who started his own, mini-Occupy in his hometown. So, we've talked a bit about the issues so many people are facing and what's driven people to embrace the Occupy movement. All that being said, this is still an Archie comic. The main goals are to entertain, which I hope we achieve!"
The issue will be drawn by Gisele Legace, who does an adult webcomic called Menage a 3, and also co-created Penny & Aggie. "Gisele's great! Her artwork is dynamic, lovely and she's an excellent storyteller," Segura said. "I've been really lucky with the artists I've gotten to work with at Archie, from Bill Galvan, Dan Parent to the great variants by Jill Thompson and Francesco Francavilla. Gisele is a rising star, and I'm a big fan of her work."
Legace will get to draw a lot of Archie characters for the issue, as more than just the usual, limited Archie gang show up for the protest. "This issue features a lot of guest stars, including Kevin, Sabrina and a few surprises," Segura said. "I don't want to reveal who takes which side so early, since that's a big part of what makes the issue fun to read."
And that's what Segura wanted readers to know — that while the Occupy movement may be a hot-button topic, the issue is meant to be fun. "It's an Archie comic! It'll be fun and feature the amazing art of Gisele," he said. "It touches on an issue anyone can relate to in some way and features some of the most beloved characters in comics. What more do you want?"
