Here's my first video in this threadhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwD_IunWOyo&feature=related
heres .the let me try to cut a fruit in your forehead
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcQnJlseeXEA video I took at Kinokuniya bookstore in NYC in March. Inoue painted these murals of Musashi and Kojiro while in New York in Nov. 2007.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNtDZ0sStEU butterfingersI think this guy tried to do Kojiro's "Tsubame Gaeshi" and failed miserably. Lucky no one was seriously hurt. Or maybe he did it on purpose, to keep the guy from talking to the girl
Haha, oh man, where do you find these? I think these guys need to watch Cautionary Tales of Swords before it's too late:
Too bad we don't have more videos like this of Miura at work.
Here's a real treat though, footage of Inoue illustrating Vagabond in real time from the DVD Draw!Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irHZ7ILxxWk&fmt=18Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL_auQkLyJU&fmt=18Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4p1s4Fv-mA&fmt=18Part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_O8WnYucbU&fmt=18Part 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf2K65D7mTQ&fmt=18Part 6: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUf3erfjjBc&fmt=18Man, I need to get that DVD, this is apparently just a part of it. I wish we had something similar of Miura!
These are really awesome. Thanks for posting them Eluvei!Too bad we don't have more videos like this of Miura at work.
How about some awesome Inoue videos?
Recently I've been hearing a lot of comments about NHK's Professional that aired the other day.All your voices are mingling tightly inside me and are lending me great strength. Thank you.But, it looks like they only chose to air the parts about when things are tough!Please don't worry as I do have times when things are a bit looser and more relaxed (?)...(...)I want to touch on one important thing that wasn't shown. Besides the people that I depend upon directly, there are many professionals that are involved at all stages to get something from an author to the audience. It's thanks to their skill, effort, patience and professional flexibility that allows things to come together. I felt anew that that was the case.I always think that I should try not to burden them with extra work... but I'm not very good at doing that right now... I'm sorry.In any case, with such a long running series, there have been good and bad times, and things have certainly gotten harder and slowed down. I don't think that my current way of doing things is perfect, and I feel that there are not a small number of times when I feel like I've dropped the ball on something. I feel that I need to work on changing things from there.And so... the first thing I'll do is start by cleaning my desk.From the extremely hard working director Mr. A, to all the programming staff, thank you for your time and hard work. I want to thank you for touching on a variety of subjects (like my artbooks... hehe). I even discovered something that will help me take the next step. It was a very good experience. Thank you very much.

Let's hope the Mets' front office shows more fight, more spunk and aggressiveness in dealing with Francisco Rodriguez's contract than it did in addressing their myriad of holes in the offseason.
Since this one is about saving money, bet on it.
In a punkish rage, Rodriguez hit the 53-year-old father of his girlfriend and tore a ligament in his throwing hand, and consequently will be lost for the season.
No matter the igniting words, Rodriguez was out of control did not act like a professional, but a thug. With a history of confrontations on the back of his personal baseball card, Rodriguez had know his behavior was under examination.

At harvest, Gill Rogers was still looking at 15-inch cotton as a learning experience. He harvested almost two bales to the acre from the 220 acres he planted in a 15-inch pattern.
"This was a good year to test 15-inch cotton because it was late," he said. The 30-inch cotton on the remainder of the 5,000 acres Rogers and his brother, John, grow did better, mainly because it was replanted.
Big difference
"We saw a big difference in the three fields due to weather," the Hartsville, S.C., farmer says.
At planting in May, it was dry. The first rain came about two weeks after planting.
Rogers cooperated in a joint project of Monsanto Company, John Deere Company and Delta and Pine Land Company, demonstrating the advantages and challenges of 15-inch cotton to farmers. The narrow-row pattern was also featured in on-farm demonstrations across the Cotton Belt.
A Web site has been chronicling Rogers' experience with the practice.
At planting, a John Deere planter outfitted with GPS technology rolled across the field planting the 15-inch rows on auto-pilot. At harvest in early November, a John Deere Pro-12 VRS spindle picked the cotton.
Driver can relax
"We saw the value of the GPS," he says. "The driver can relax. One of my drivers told me he had a good day. He planted 90 acres and read three magazines.
"The new technology can possibly help us with profitability," he says, pointing out the substantial equipment costs.
Rogers planted DP 555 BG/RR, DP 444 BG/RR, DP 449 BG/RR and DP 424 BGII/RR at a seeding population of 52,000 and 70,000 seed per acre, aiming for an in-row spacing of 6 inches and 8 inches.
Speaking at a harvest demonstration at the Rogers farm in Hartsville, S.C., Tommy Fleming of Delta and Pine Land said the seed company was "still not in a position to recommend which varieties will work best with 15-inch cotton. Personally, it looks like a mid-season variety such as 449 might be the best choice — but that's not a recommendation."
This was the second year that Rogers has worked with John Deere technology aimed at taking the guesswork out of narrow-row cotton. "There's so much to learn here."
The Auto Trac RTK system sets the tractor in an A-B line on autopilot. "You still have to have somebody in the tractor," Jarred Karni, a crop systems specialist with John Deere says. "At the end of the row, all the driver has to do is grab the steering wheel, make the turn and the system guides him back into the next path."
Andy Pace, a John Deere crop systems specialist, says the 15-inch system "offers growers another tool to make them more competitive in the world market."
Henry Sink, also of John Deere, says the research on the system will continue throughout the cotton belt next season.
The 15-inch cotton offers the crop early shading.
Excellent weed control
Rogers found excellent weed control with the system this year. Two over-the-top applications of Envoke and Roundup WeatherMAX gave about 97 percent control of weeds, he says. His herbicide costs on the 15-inch cotton were less than with conventional cotton.
The Rogers brothers first experimented with narrow-row cotton about six years ago, working with D&PL.
Gill believes advances in seed, planting and harvesting technology have finally come together to give the practice real potential.
"We've always felt like there was potential for narrow-row cotton, he says. "Fifteen-inch cotton is just another step."
In fact, he believes cotton growers are only two years away from a new era in production. "We're two years away from not needing a row. For a little while it will be a new era. We've got 12 hoods we need to sell."

With the rising price of gas and airfare fees, many are looking for travel experiences closer to home. Recognizing this, leaders within the cruise industry have expanded their ports of call to include departure locations that are driveable from most U.S. cities. As an added bonus, these cities are amazing destinations on their own and well worth a visit! Vacation Rewards has easy access to everything you need to plan your next local getaway!
San Francisco, California
Born during the California Gold Rush of 1849, San Francisco is truly one of the most magical cities in the United States. The city has been named No. 1 for both Best U.S. Vacations and Best Summer Vacations in U.S. News & World Report's first-ever Best Vacations rankings. It's hard to beat San Francisco, with its fine dining, world class museums and shopping. Cruise ships launch for Alaska and Mexico near the famous Fisherman's Wharf, where sea lions bask in the sun, and seafood stalls with steaming crab cauldrons invite hungry travelers to sit down and have a bite to eat. Plus, you can explore the city either on foot, by cab or, our favorite way, on a historic cable car!
Miami, Florida
Miami is flavored with the sounds, smells and tastes of the Caribbean. It is one of Florida's most popular vacation spots and is famous for its beaches. From South Beach and the Art Deco district to Little Havana, this South Florida city has a lot to offer pre- or post-cruise adventure seekers. Cruises from Miami visit all the popular Caribbean hot spots, including the Bahamas, Jamaica, Mexico, the British and American Virgin Islands, St. Maarten, St. Kitts, the Caymans and many other destinations. For those looking for a longer adventure, you can even set sail for Europe or South America from this close-to-home port!
Galveston, Texas
Galveston Island, approximately 48 miles from downtown Houston, is the departing location for most Texas cruises. This quaint island is small enough that most places can be reached by walking. From sunny beach fun to sizzling nightlife, there is something fun for the entire family every day on Galveston Island. It has a rich history, as has served as the main port for the Texas Navy during the Texas Revolution and also served briefly as the capital of Texas. Several cruise lines operate out of Galveston, with sailings to the warm waters of the Caribbean or to more exotic destinations like Central and South America.
Charleston, South Carolina
Attracting nearly 4 million visitors a year, Charleston is a city full of tradition, history and Southern charm. The historic part of town has buildings that are hundreds of years old, and the skyline is dominated by church steeples (contributing to the city's moniker, The Holy City) and the stunning Arthur Ravenel Jr. cable-stayed bridge. The Cruise Passenger Terminal is in the city's Historic District, just two short blocks from Charleston's famous public market. Sailings depart for the gorgeous waters of Bermuda, the Bahamas and the Caribbean regularly.
New York City, New York
What can we say about New York that has not already been said or sung about? There's no other way of arriving in or departing from New York quite as extraordinary as on a cruise ship. The city recently completed a $250 million Cruise Terminal renovation, turning both the Manhattan and Brooklyn Cruise Terminals into two of the finest in the world. Locals often joke that it is the one place in the city where parking is easy! Members can sail north to New England and Canada to view the fall foliage or head east on a transatlantic cruise to London, England. Those looking for more tropical destinations can travel to Bermuda or through the Panama Canal to Costa Rica, Acapulco or Cabo San Lucas. New York is also the only northern port that offers winter departures to 11 different warm-water and exotic locations in the Caribbean.
Choosing a port of call close to home gives travelers many vacation choices both before and after their cruise. Extending the adventure in and around the departure city can be a rewarding experience. The United States is overflowing with amazing places, and we have only highlighted a few.
Visit www.VacationRewards.com/cities or call 1-800-571-6817 to view a wide selection of discounted hotels and resorts for your next vacation.

Imagine rocking your baby to sleep to the sounds of sweet, melodic renditions of U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday" or rapper Kanye West's "Gold Digger," plunked on a glockenspiel.
Parents who once rocked their little ones to the dreamy "Twinkle, twinkle little star" are changing up baby's bedtime listening selection. And Rockabye Baby! record label, whose 24 albums offer lullaby renditions of popular rock band tunes, is on the leading edge of that trend.
It all started, says Rockabye vice president Lisa Roth, when she went shopping for a baby-shower gift only to be disappointed with the selection of music. She decided to fill the gap herself. "We wanted a product that parents could enjoy and feel comfortable sharing with their little ones – something that was entertaining to listen to for an adult and soothing for a baby," Ms. Roth says.
Her idea met a need. In a market once dominated by Barney anthems and ABCs, there is a flood of new products getting the chic rock 'n' roll makeover.
Independent record labels and marketers are tapping into the children's music market by appealing to adults, prompting some parents to say goodbye to Raffi and wave hello to hip, trendy independent kid's music or "kindie."
Kindie is bridging the gap between Generation Xers and their young ones, allowing both parent and child to share a musical experience where parents won't be tempted to rip their hair out after listening to "The ABCs" ten times on repeat.
"[Children's] music has grown tremendously in the last six to seven years," says Craig Balsam, co-owner of Razor & Tie Entertainment and cocreator of the Kidz Bop series. "Certainly, Disney has become very aggressive as has Nickelodeon because they realize there's an opportunity."
Disney banked on the success of High School Musical soundtracks. The first copy sold 3.7 million albums in 2006, claiming a spot as the top musical album of the year and surpassing Raffi's 3 million album sales, according to Nielsen Soundscan. Disney had similar success with Hannah Montana and the Curious George soundtrack, powered by the mellow tunes of surfer-turned-songwriter Jack Johnson.
Kidz Bop, the series that recreates Top 40 hits with the voices of children, released its 14th album last month. The album sales, which total 9 million, sparked a national tour – what Mr. Balsam calls a "children's rock show" – complete with a live band and child performers. Balsam says that parents who bring children can expect a family-friendly atmosphere: The volume is turned down and kids can dance in a tame mosh pit near the stage.
But what's fueling this change in children's music?
"It's a function of there being more music available that's interesting and exciting to kids," Balsam says. "If you look at the Billboard charts and the relationship between children's music and its audiences, there's a very energized audience. Sales are much higher than they have been."
Independent record labels see the potential for growth and creativity. Rockabye's Lisa Roth notes that children's music is "broadening its horizon in that it's appealing to adults as well.... I think it's becoming slightly more sophisticated and respectful."
That's why Kevin Salem, CEO of Little Monster Records, tinkered with the idea of releasing a jazz album by Medeski Martin & Wood trio for the kid set. The record "Let's Go Everywhere" sold about 15,000 copies in nearly a year, Mr. Salem says. Among the label's other projects: a Beatles cover album featuring the voices of The Bangles, Rachael Yamagata, and kids; and a release from lead singer Robert Schneider of the indie band The Apples in Stereo who goes by the nickname Robbert Bobbert.
In a world of emerging children's music, Salem says, the quality of that music should measure up. "You wouldn't feed your children [at] McDonald's every day any more than you would want to play bad music every day."
Creating quality music drove The Barenaked Ladies into the studio to record their first children's album, "Snacktime," last spring. After 20 years of playing together, band members have 11 offspring of their own, and BNL's bassist Jim Creeggan says a children's album was a natural progression. The album, now No. 16 on the kid's Billboard chart, has forged an avenue for BNL fans to share the band's music with their children.
BNL was inspired in part, Mr. Creeggan says, by They Might Be Giants, an indie band that catapulted onto the kindie scene with three albums singing about the alphabet, grammar, and numbers. In the future, BNL hopes to combine their two genres on tour, Creeggan says, playing kid's music in the afternoon and more grown-up hits at night.

What I'm Watching: Doctor Who, Repo
Unintended side effect: my son has now become a HUGE Doctor Who fan. He's a kid who's really into "Spongebob Squarepants," "Pokemon," "Total Drama Island," and anything for the Nintento DS, so I assumed he wouldn't have much interest in a British sci-fi show, but he watched one episode with me and he was completely hooked. He loves that the Doctor solves problems with his brain and a sonic screwdriver. He loves that the show can be funny and sad and exciting. He wants a Dalek action figure.
So we've finished all of the First Series, and we'll be launching into Series Two any day now. And, by the way, at least two episodes that I've watched so far involve a defeated creature (or creatures) falling through time. So any Doctor Who fan must have read "Final Crisis" and thought, "oh, that old gimmick." Morrison, by the way, is a devoted Whovian.
I also watched "Repo! The Genetic Opera," definitely NOT with my son around. My wife wasn't interested in watching that one either, and I think that was probably for the best as she would have loved 70% of it but hated the other 30% so much that she would have, I don't know, punched the tv. Or hopped on a plane to track down director Darren Lynn Bousman and then taunted him about how much of a tasteless hack he can be.
Even though it can be schlocky and disgusting at times, "Repo" is a mostly great-looking movie, and the songs are good, and most of the performances are good. Anthony Stewart Head is fantastic. Even Paris Hilton is kinda good, and I never thought I would say that. She's perfect for the role, which involves not a little bit of self-parody. It's a gruesome, horrific rock opera, with spines ripped out of people who can no longer afford to pay for them, and old-fashioned "injury to the eye motif" action. It's sickening, and while (apparent B-grade horror icon, but still TERRIBLE actor) Bill Moseley gives the worst performance I've seen in anything that cost this much money to make, it's mostly a slick, original production.
I have no patience for senseless gore or cheap thrill horror, but "Repo" has an incredible sense of humor about itself and it looks like nothing else that came out last year. It may be trying too hard to attain a cult status, and it will probably succeed, but at least it's got some catchy tunes.

My gf and I are re-watching LOST from the beginning. We're already into season 2, and we're actually enjoying it more the second time around. People give the show a lot of shit for just throwing shit to the wall, but knowing what comes later, they do an admirable job of making just about everything matter.
Now Battlestar Galactica, that show really does throw shit to the wall, and they don't do a good job of making any of it matter. But I digress.
I've been tempted to get into Doctor Who but it's just too much of a commitment. There's years and years' worth of stuff to watch, and I know myself well enough to know that jumping into Who will take too much time away from more immediate goals. I am that much of a nerd.
I've also started watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 again, in about as sequential an order as I can figure out. I loved the show as a lad, and was the first Singapore-based member of the official MST3K Information Club. But mainly I watch it now because I'm a hopeless insomniac and it helps me fall asleep quickly.
I want to start re-watching the amazing OZ from the beginning, but my girlfriend is annoying adverse to copious male-on-male rape. Sigh.

My son and I finally finished Superman Animated Vol. 3 - we started back in August!
Other than that, just the usual TV - both Lost and BSG were great this week.
- Marc Caputo said...
Justin: yeah, LOST and BSG are just going ep for ep for their greatest seasons yet. I imagine this was what the 60s were like with the Beatles and the Stones.
Andy: I'm not understanding your POV on BSG.

**SPOILER WARNING: The following contains some spoilers for Season 3 and 4 of Battlestar Galactica***
I LOVE Galactica. I thought the first two seasons (including the mini) were some of the most exciting television I've ever seen. Just outstanding. But from season 3 on, it became blatantly clear that the writers did not have a plan for the show, that they'd never even worked out what the Cylons' plan was, and that they were just making it up as they went along.
I haven't seen Friday's episode, but last week's is a good example for the literally laughable solution to the problem of Chief and Callie's baby.
Conversation in writers' room:
"Alright, the final episodes! Let's finally get into why it's SO IMPORTANT that Helo and Sharon had a half-human, half-cylon baby."
"What? Oh, shit, I forgot all about that."
"Yeah, remember how the whole first season was basically about manipulating them into falling in love and fucking?"
"Riiiiiiight. But since then we've had babies all over the place. Tigh and Six are pregnant, Chief and Callie already had their baby."
"What, how could we let Callie and the Chief have a baby? He's one of the Final Fucking Five!"
"Well we DIDN'T KNOW THAT when we gave them a baby!"
"FUCK! That totally complicates everything. The fans are going to be thinking there's some elaborate explanation for why it was such a big deal that Helo and Sharon had a baby when the Chief and Callie could have one no problem, and WE DON'T HAVE ONE!"
"Wait, wait, I think I have it. What if... CALLIE IS A WHORE!"

Andy: OK, yes. That was one of the most ungraceful "retcons" I've ever seen. It's things like that that make we wonder HOW MUCH of the "I've had this all worked out from the get-go" is really true. Now, with LOST, they've made somewhat of the same claim, but with a major network show where you're dealing with the celebrity factor as well, we know that some people haven't worked out (Eko, Ana Lucia) as well as some have (Ben, Juliet.) I don't doubt that LOST has had a firmer grip on things end-to-end, but it's little tings like that that play into the whole destiny vs. free will theme from the outside.
I think you will be very happy with this week's episode, though.
When you get to series 4 you'll discover that Morrison and the Doctor Who writers borrow from each other. (for example an insect that creates parallel worlds by eating pieces of time, just to give one example)

Mmm... Doctor Who is awesome. Have a go at the Sarah Jane Adventures, too-- it's aimed more for the kids, but it's often as excellent and mature as the parent show.

Doctor Who's great for a bit of intergenerational pop culture bonding. I've never heard anyone of my generation reminisce about the show for long without getting to the point where they're really reminiscing about thier dads.
It's odd that the next episode Tim's got waiting for him is 'The Christmas Invasion', as one of my fondest Who-moments was watching that when it first went out with both my grandmother and my daughter.
If I ever get round to starting a blog the first post will probably be on all the Doctor Who/Final Crisis connections. There's a scary number of them and they're coming from three different directions.
Some of them are because Morrison's been influenced by the show. Some of them because the writers of Season Four were responding to the same cultural trends as Morrison was. And some of them (in the last two issues of FC) are because Morrison noticed how close Season Four's finale was to his own story and seems to have decided to purposefully tie the two together.

SpongeBob is a very popular show. Its quirky humor, colorful characters, and crazy plot lines make it irresistible. It's hard to avoid this show, even if you're an adult, or a teen. This show also cheers you up very easily.Catch all eps Download Spongebob Squarepants here..
I just caught a rerun of the season 3 finale. I had totally forgotten just how Morrisonesqe it was, almost as much as season four.
While there's certainly some cross pollination of ideas between creative people who are fans of each others work, I agree that much of this is that Moffat & Davies share a similar creative paradigm with Grant.

I think it's the conception of Eeeevil that feels so Mozza-ish about the end of season three.
Davies' strategy there is initially offering a baddie as awesomeness on a stick, before pulling back to reveal that he's actually a bit pathetic because he Just Doesn't Get It. That seems to be the usual Morrison way of dealing with the problem of evil too.
- spiderboris said...
Hey there Tim, you really need to check out the two-part Doctor Who story 'The End Of Time' which aired in the UK over Christmas and New Years' Day, for a tale that's uncannily reminiscent of Final Crisis in so many ways. The similarities are all over the place.
I've always been quite convinced that Doctor Who's now-former showrunner Russell T. Davies must be a huge fan of Morrison's work. He is a professed comics lover, he named the character of Jack Harness in season one of Who after the Fantastic Four's Agatha Harkness, so I'm fairly sure he must be aware of Morrison, although I haven't read any comment from him stating this, so I could be completely wrong.
Without actually spoiling anything specific for you re. The End Of Time, I'll just mention some of the comparison points which quite frankly outdo the Matrix / Invisibles debate for any possible future plagiarism accusations from Mr. Morrison… This is a bit long (in two bits) but here we go.
As in Final Crisis, it marks a dark, apocalyptic 'final' story by the writer where all of reality and creation - and by dint, all of series 'canon' going back forty-odd years - are threatened with extinction and eradication by insane, corrupt dying gods who have fallen through time - having been previously forced out of heaven in a great war that ended a previous golden age - and returned to the present, where they declare all of life and human thought is futile and must be ended so they can ascend to a higher - or arguably lower - plane of existence.
As in Final Crisis, the conclusion sees a respected, pacifist crimefighter who never uses a gun, beaten and broken down - having recently gone through something of a schizoid break where he lost sight of his friends and become dangerously driven and unhinged - pointing a gun at a resurrected, despotic, quasi-Hitlerian god-figure he is familiar with from his own self-contradicting and canonically questionable past.
As in Final Crisis, this central protagonist - who is also a long-lived cultural icon recognized by many millions who may never have even partaken of the original source material - and a fictional character who is also part of many shared creative universes - is tragically killed and then later shown to still be paradoxically alive in a different timeframe - revealing that, as an iconic fictional creation, he will always survive death in all its forms, because he is essentially immortal.
As in Final Crisis, one of the characters is visited by an unnamed and never-identified godlike figure (a character I identified as the show's writer, entering the fictive narrative in a Morrisonian fictionsuit, but maybe that's going a bit too far) who speaks in metaphysical riddles and presents the character with a nondescript 'weapon' that is a key element in the predicted defeat of the evil gods and their plan to wipe out humanity.
As in Final Crisis, a ragtag band of survivor heroes escape to an orbital satellite to evade the evil, pseudo-Satanic brainwashing signal of the hero's crazed nemesis, who has transformed every person on earth into his own exact mirror image in an attempt to forestall his own judgement at the hands of his former god-allies he believes dead. (Although this visual trick of replicating the evil character in everyone else, however, is blatantly and clearly stolen from the Matrix Revolutions, an irony Morrison may well have found hilarious).
(more below)
- spiderboris said...
As in Final Crisis, one of the characters caught up in events and taken to the station largely against his own will, gazes out of the station window at the planet below, and amazed, declares that he never thought he'd see Earth from outer space.
As in Final Crisis, there is a narration by a godlike, monitoring character who tells the story of how this was the day when the world ended.
As in Final Crisis, there are at least two clear points where the decimated, ruined human race is 'restored' to a previous state, in a universal 'hard-drive restore'-style reset button event.
Like in Final Crisis, there's a literal deus ex machina, an ultimate maguffin machine which can heal the populations of entire worlds.
Like in Final Crisis, a pivotal character is killed by radiation poisoning. (Ok that one's a bit spurious, but hey…)
As in Final Crisis, there's an extremely compressed attempt on the part of the creator to tell an epic, end-of-the-world saga, which is overblown, confused, confusing, contradictory and full of unresolved loose ends, illogical technobabble, unnecessary character cameos, and essentially is just another generic sci-fi story about stories, where an all-powerful evil force threatens to destroy all of reality, and the hero defeats them at the end with seeming great ease.
As in Final Crisis, it marks the supposed final written contribution and 'last word' on the shared universe the writer has been thoroughly involved in writing key portions of for the past five or so years, culminating in the writer going on to state they don't intend to revisit these characters or franchises ever again. Except they probably will cos they're inveterate liars.
As in Final Crisis, a huge amount of the writer's previously hardcore fans absolutely detested it, and poured their incandescent scorn onto internet forums, declaring they would never partake of the writer's respective chosen creative medium again.
And for a final comparison between Season Five of Doctor Who and Morrison's Batman & Robin (neither of which I have seen / read yet, but anyway) they both sees a central iconic character appear to die, and be replaced in his role by a younger, newer and more optimistic character, with a newer, significantly younger sidekick to assist him in his neverending battles against evil and injustice. As is what happens with life, I suppose.
Phew, that's it. Understand I'm just focusing on The End Of Time here, the Season Three two-part finale has got many of the same parallels - the main one being multiple 'stolen' planets crowded together, and the Earth being dragged through space by a team of super-powered heroes, but I'm surely getting carried away now. I'm sure some other obsessed Who / Morrison fan's found many more of these elsewhere. Cheers!
Also, you might have mentioned this, but did you pick up on any of those rumours that Morrison was writing an episode of Doctor Who's forthcoming fifth season? Sadly, the writers have now been announced, and he's not, at least not yet, and neither is the also-rumoured Neil Gaiman…
Being a huge Doctor Who and Morrison fan, my first thoughts upon watching the first few episodes of season one of Nu-Who were essentially, 'This is what Doctor Who would be like if Grant Morrison was writing it!'
ie, good versus evil, on a big, mad, cosmic scale, but with emotional investment and solid, 'real-world' character grounding.
Oh and Morrison really needs to put a Shilo Norman / Batman team-up in 'The Return Of Bruce Wayne.' That would so totally rule.

It seems that the Obama Administration will start to measure the "success" of the stimulus (the "recovery and reinvestment act") the same way the Bush Administration used to brag about the "success" of their tax cuts. As AP's Brett Blackledge reported last night (emphasis added):
WASHINGTON – The White House has abandoned its controversial method of counting jobs under President Barack Obama's economic stimulus, making it impossible to track the number of jobs saved or created with the $787 billion in recovery money.
Despite mounting a vigorous defense of its earlier count of more than 640,000 jobs credited to the stimulus, even after numerous errors were identified, the Obama administration now is making it easier to give the stimulus credit for hiring. It's no longer about counting a job as saved or created; now it's a matter of counting jobs funded by the stimulus.
That means that any stimulus money used to cover payroll will be included in the jobs credited to the program, including pay raises for existing employees and pay for people who never were in jeopardy of losing their positions.
Yes, it's a lot easier doing cost-benefit analysis when you don't have to worry about measuring the benefits. Have I told you recently about how much money I've spent on my kids–their college applications and visits, their ballet lessons, their sports programs, and why, even their stylish wardrobes?… I must be a really successful parent!
And on my dogs? I don't think I've yet told you about my newest dog (adopted him 3 1/2 months ago), but let me give you a hint about how great he is…
And if you want a successful marriage, start with an engagement ring like this one. Hey, it's from Costco even!

Ricky "Running" Watters ran his way to five Pro Bowl selections, a spot in the 10,000 rushing yards club and a Super Bowl championship over the course of a polished pro career, and it now appears the former NFL tailback is running away from The Sunshine State after listing his Windermere, FL home. Waters, who spent ten seasons in the NFL as a member of the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks, is asking $1.85 million for the 5,638-square-foot property.
A custom-built luxury home found within the confines of the affluent gated community of Isleworth, which boasts an All-Star lists of residents that includes Tiger Woods, Shaquille O'Neal, Grant Hill, Ken Griffey Jr. and Barry Larkin, Watters estate offers an open floor plan designed to blend outdoor and indoor spaces. Stacked sliders can be moved to instantly connect various sitting rooms to a screened lanai, creating vast entertainment space complete with fireplaces and an outdoor kitchen. Likewise, each of the four bedrooms, including a master suite that features a wet bar, his and hers closets and a spa-like bath, and many verandas face out towards the resort-style pool and surrounding conservation. Besides its stellar pool, Watters' property measures a whopping 1.65 acres in size, meaning there's plenty of space should a backyard football game just happen to break out.

It was the final home court appearance for four Chestnut Hill College seniors and it was the birthday of freshman guard Brittany McDonough, but aside from that there wasn't much for the Griffins to celebrate at Sorgenti Arena last Saturday afternoon.
In a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference match-up, host CHC hung with The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (USP) for 11 minutes, but then the Devils broke loose with a 14-0 run. The visitors continued on to a 38-23 halftime lead, and in the second period an 11-0 outburst helped USP claim a 71-51 victory.
The setback snapped a four-game win streak at Sorgenti for Chestnut Hill, which slipped to 6-19 overall and 4-14 within the CACC. The respective records for USP were 14-11, 12-6 after the contest.
Before the game, the CHC community officially bid farewell to two senior starters.
Lindsay Alexander has been a mainstay at small forward throughout her tenure, and she joined the 1000-point scorers' club this season. Complementing her in the backcourt was Latoya Laing, who could penetrate to the hoop and also step back to hit three-pointers for the Griffins.
The other two seniors are reserve forward Megan Shaughnessy and guard-turned-manager Asha Jones.
Over the first five minutes of the game itself, two three-point field goals by sophomore guard Olivia Gorczynski and a "three" and a lay-up by Laing helped the Griffins gain a one-point edge, 11-10. Mount St. Joseph Academy fans would've recognized two former league opponents in the starting line-up for USP. Senior forward Caroline Edwards is a product of St. Basil's, and sophomore guard Jessica Sylvester graduated from Nazareth Academy.
For Chestnut Hill, junior post payer Aimee Bouie came off the bench to deposit two buckets off of offensive rebounds, and then she earned an assist on a pass that facilitated a lay-up for Gorczynski. That field goal again gave Chestnut Hill another one-point advantage, this time at 19-18 with nine minutes left in the first half.
Sylvester, the former Nazareth Panda, stepped up with the first of her five three-point baskets on the day, and Edwards joined in with a trey and a baseline jumper during a 14-0 surge for the Devils in a six-minute span. The spree was ended by back-to-back drives by CHC's Lila Jones, a reserve sophomore guard, but in the final 30 seconds of the half USP's Sylvester had the final word. Launching from opposite sides of the court, she bagged a pair of three-pointers that set the halftime count at 38-23.
Other statistics helped illustrate how the visitors had gained the upper hand; they outrebounded the Griffins 24-12 in the opening period, and committed eight turnovers to CHC's 15.
The home team was able to keep pace for seven minutes or so in the second half, then two more triples by Sylvester made up part of an 11-0 offensive for the Devils. That spread the score to 61-34 with eight-and-a-half minutes left to play, and CHC couldn't recover. The USP lead peaked at 28 points before Chestnut Hill made up some ground at the end.
Laing led the Griffins with 18 points, but 11 of them came over the last eight minutes, when the game was already irretrievably lost. Bouie, Gorczynski, and Jones each had eight points for Chestnut Hill, and in the rebounds column there were five grabs apiece for Bouie, Laing, and Alexander (four points).
USP sophomore guard Brianne Traub rang up a game-high 23 points along with eight rebounds, making three of her four three-point shots and shooting nine-for-17 from the floor overall. Sylvester had 17 points, four assists, and three steals, Edwards finished with seven points, three rebounds, and three assists. Senior forward Becca Ruggear collected a game-high 10 rebounds while scoring the same number of points.

Property taxes
The amount of tax you pay when you buy a property depends on several factors including:
- the country the property is in
- how much you paid for it
- whether it is your main home.
Stamp duty land tax was abolished for most first-time-buyers in England and Northern Ireland on 22 November 2017. People who buy a home worth between £300,000 and £500,000 will not pay stamp duty on the first £300,000. They will pay normal rates on the price above £300,000.
The Scottish government is consulting on whether to scrap land and buildings transaction tax on properties up to £175,000 for first-time buyers.
There are no specific rules for first-time buyers in Wales.

Special to The Hays Daily News
Christmas can be a painful time for some people. It might be the first Christmas without a loved family member who recently has died; it might be a time that always has been difficult.
The constant refrain on the radio and television, in shopping malls and churches, about the happiness of the season, about getting together with family and friends, reminds many people
of what they have lost or never have had. The anguish of broken relationships, the insecurity of unemployment, the weariness of ill health, the pain of isolation -- all these can make us feel alone in the midst of the celebrating and spending. We need the space and time to acknowledge our sadness and concern; we need to know we are not alone.
Our spirits sink, as the days grow shorter. We feel the darkness growing deeper around us. We need encouragement to live the days ahead of us.
For these reasons. First United Methodist Church is offering a special "Longest Night Service" from 7 to 8 p.m. Saturday, followed by refreshments.
We invite members of the Hays community join with us in sharing prayers, scripture and music that acknowledge God's presence for those who mourn and those who struggle. God's word comes to shine light into our darkness.

for immediate release
Contact: Cynthia Papermaster, Berkeley No More Guantanamos and Codepink Women for Peace, 510-333-6097
What: launch of Berkeley open-ended fasts in solidarity with Guantanamo Hunger Strike
Where: Provo Park, MLK Jr. Way between Allston and Center, across from Old City Hall in Berkeley
When: 2 p.m. Saturday, June 15, 2013
Today Cynthia Johnson, Christopher Lewis Macy, and Cynthia Papermaster will start their open-ended fasts in solidarity with the Hunger Strike at Guantanamo Prison, where over 100 men have been refusing to eat, some for over 130 days, and where over 40 of them are being force fed in a way amounting to torture.
There is a gathering at Provo Park (aka Civic Center Park) at 2 pm Saturday, June 15, where the fasters will have their last meals at a vegetarian potuck picnic hosted by CODEPINK WOMEN FOR PEACE, GOLDEN GATE CHAPTER.
We're alerting the media, hoping that they'll be interested in covering the news of citizens of Berkeley going on their own hunger strikes. We also hope that they'll show an interest in the long term, ongoing, open ended fasts of other U.S. citizens:
there are three Hunger Strikers in the U.S. who have been or were fasting for more than 25 days: Elliot Adams of upstate New York, a former President of Veterans for Peace; Diane Wilson of Texas, shrimper and cofounder of Codepink Women for Peace, and S. Brian Willson of Portland, beloved veteran activist who lost his legs when a train ran over him while he was protesting arms shipments to Latin America. In addition, there are about 8 others who are on long-term fasts. You can find details of the fasters and more at http://www.closegitmo.net
There are more actions being planned, such as mass arrests in Washington, DC, of 86 orange-jumpsuited people at the White House this June 26, the annual UN International Day for Victims of Torture; a possible meeting of religious leaders with President Obama; and a trip to Guantanmo Prison via boat.
In addition, today we are launching our Guantanamo Detainee Resettlement Fund Campaign, where we're asking every citizen of Berkeley to contribute $1 or more for one or more cleared-for-release detainees to settle in Berkeley. This is based on a Berkeley City Council Resolution which passed in October 2011, welcoming detainees to come here, using private funds. The money will be used for detainee housing, food, transportation, psychiatric counseling– all of their expenses– until the men can get on their feet and are able to take care of themselves.
The Berkeley political artist Doug Minkler* is creating a poster of one of the detainees, Djamel Ameziane, cleared for release in 2008. He's an Algerian chef who trained in Switzerland and we would like to help him get here, if he wishes to resettle in Berkeley. Below are photos of Djamel as a young man, when he was first captured in 2002, and from today, 11 years later, after a decade in Guantanamo Prison without being charged. I think Obama can release him to us without Congress' okay due to a waiver in the 2012 NDAA which gives him that authority.
Cynthia Papermaster, Berkeley No More Guantanamos and Codepink Women for Peace, 510-333-6097
Follow my open-ended fast in solidarity with the Hunger Strike at Guantanamo Prison, starting June 15, at https://mygitmofast.wordpress.com/
Djamel Ameziane, 45 year old citizen of Algeria, cleared for transfer since October 2008,
detained at Guantánamo for more than 11 years, since February 2002

Guantanamo Bay
represents the worst aspects of the decaying US Imperialist system – war, land theft, loss of the right to a trial, torture, and rendition. The prison violates the Geneva Conventions on the treatment of prisoners of war and ignores the World Court and UN.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
Our faces are as beautifully diverse as we are. From skin color to bone structure, every tiny shift means that what works well for someone else won't necessarily work for us. This is why there are so many eyeglass frames to choose from with so many variations in size, shape and design. While there seem to be an endless list of options, the best place to start without becoming overwhelmed is the width of the frame.
For this, there are only three possibilities:
If you already have a pair of glasses, you probably don't need to reconsider this, especially if you really like the frames. In this case, simply refer to your current pair's measurements and choose a new pair accordingly.
If this is not the case, head to a mirror with a ruler. Holding the ruler center with your eyes, measure the distance from temple to temple. If it is less than 4,5 inches, go for narrow, if it's between 4,5 inches and 5,5 inches, wide frames are your best choice. Similarly, if you had a pair of glasses that didn't quite fit, go larger if they squeezed your face or narrower if they kept sliding off down your nose.

Liberty News
Paintball team beats national champions in home tournament
Liberty University's paintball team went 4-0 on Saturday, dominating Kennesaw State and last year's national champion, the University of Tennessee.
"Beating the national champs at home is a tremendous boost to the program, and going 4-0 on the season puts Liberty in first place," said head coach Todd Hoglund. "It's been a good first half of the season and a good look at the future."
Liberty will play five more matches, which gives the team a great chance to place first in the division, Hoglund said. The Flames have come in fourth place at the national tournament the past two years. The 2012 national tournament will be held April 13-15 in Florida.
"We played really hard, and everybody was really supportive of the team," said junior Neil Ebling, who is in his first season with the team. "We put out our best effort, and we saw the fruits of that effort."
The paintball team was formed in 2005 and became a club program in 2008. Liberty plays in the Southeast Conference, which includes the University of Tennessee, Kennesaw State University and the University of Alabama.
"In the world of paintball, we've made our name. We have fans. … My goal is to be on the top," said Hoglund, who has been with the team for four seasons. "There is one reason why we stand out, and that's Christ."
Tournament results – Nov. 12
Tennessee 6 – Kennesaw State 5 (OT)
Liberty 7 - Kennesaw State 2
Liberty 11 - Tennessee 4
Tennessee 6 - Kennesaw State 5 (OT)
Liberty 8 - Kennesaw State 2

In January, my daughter Claire and I spoke at Sowers Middle School for Author's Day. Before the first speech, a woman (whose 11-year-old daughter attends Sowers) approached me in the hall with a suggestion for this column: "Why don't you write about cancer?"
We chatted for a few minutes, and she told me that two years ago, she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer, that she read this column and thought I might like to tell her story. We talked a bit more and, in her eyes, I saw someone who truly wanted to share her experience. So here we are.
At a Starbucks near Magnolia Street and Adams Avenue, we met recently, and Machelle Murray recounted for me how, two years ago this St. Patrick's Day, while taking a shower, she noticed a bruise on her right breast. She also felt a hard lump beneath. Not thinking too much of it, thinking perhaps she had simply bumped into something, she let her doctor know what she discovered.
His concern surprised her, so she agreed to have it checked out. What surprised her more was the almost immediate concern she detected from the radiologist who took her X-ray. After a sickening whirlwind of ultrasounds and mammograms, she was given the dreaded diagnosis: cancer, and an aggressive one at that. Just days later, she was operated on, and then she endured many brutal rounds of chemotherapy and radiation.
Murray, who grew up in Huntington Beach and attended Eader Elementary and Edison High, spoke of her struggle matter-of-factly and with a certain toughness. But she is in pain and frustrated and could use a little advice.
See, through a series of unfortunate timings and decisions by her employers at the medical office she once ran, right now Murray has no health insurance, so she can't see her doctors as she needs to. She told me she can't get on permanent disability, her disability payments have run out, she can't get employment because she is disabled, and that currently, she has no clue what her options are.
She is feeling sick and has an itching sensation on her side that one doctor explained might be symptomatic of a recurrence of the cancer, which frustrates her even more.
Murray told me she knows there are other women out there with cancer who are going through similar hardship issues. She wanted to create some awareness in the event that any readers of this column might be able to provide some advice on how to tackle the system — or lack of system when one falls on hard times.
She is extremely thankful for the good work being done by Breast Cancer Angels, an organization that steps in to help women while they go through treatment. She received gas cards, money for food and other helpful aid from them, but since her treatment is officially done for the time being, she is no longer eligible for that assistance. But through the process, she has met other women who seem to be in need of advice too as they navigate through the maze of problems created by a bad diagnosis, a bad economy and other unexpected challenges.
On a side note, Murray told me how she and many neighbors are suspicious of what role the Ascon Landfill Site in the Huntington Beach neighborhood near Magnolia Street and Hamilton Avenue may have played in what they say is a high incidence of cancer in the area. As Independent columnists Vic Leipzig and Lou Murray wrote in 2004, "Something may be seriously amiss in southeast Huntington Beach…four children from that area died between February 2000 and June 2003 of a deadly brain cancer called brainstem glioma…an exceedingly rare cancer."
While work has been done in part to clean up the area, Machelle Murray feels it may all be a little too late and that the damage has been done. On this subject, I plan on preparing a separate column in the near future to look at the realities of just how such a toxic site might affect the health of locals — others have told me their concerns too about a place that, according to the California Environmental Protection Agency, "operated as a landfill from 1938 through 1984.
Much of the waste disposed at the site in its early years came from oil drilling operations, including waste drilling muds, waste water brines, and other drilling wastes." The site adds that "from 1957 to 1971, chromic acid, sulfuric acid, aluminum slag, fuel oils, styrene (a form of plastic), and other wastes were also disposed on the site. These liquid and semi-liquid wastes were deposited into open lagoons and pits."
But for now, I'd like to keep the focus on the plight of Machelle Murray. I'm expert in none of the areas she is talking about, but I'm guessing some of you might be.
She is living below the poverty level right now and is desperate for work and advice as it applies to obtaining health-care insurance after having been treated for breast cancer.
I do not know her well but, after a couple of hours over coffee, I will vouch for Machelle Murray. She is a bright, funny and determined woman who, as a single parent, is trying to do things right so that she can take care not just of her daughter, but herself. She is also very scared that right now, the world has few options for her. This is where communities can make a difference. If you think you might have advice to share, or anything else for that matter, please write me and I will put you in touch with her.
CHRIS EPTING is the author of 18 books, including the new "Hello, It's Me: Dispatches from a Pop Culture Junkie." You can write him at email@example.com.

2008 -2009 Certifications
Hi all, what you think of Certifications now?
what's worth to own what's not from a "salary" point of view!
Today learning some thing for fun is some what fictitious.
I tried to google it and here is what I came up United States for example.
IMO, certifications are more important when seeking a new position where past experience doesn't show the specific experiences employers are wanting, ie. if I was seeking a job in the networking field & I didn't have anything on my resume indicating relevant experience, then having a related certification might help land the job.
I have also seen that the further away managers are from a specific field, the more likely they are to be pacified by seeing third-party validation of skills & knowledge. In other words, if I was looking for a database contract with a local insurance broker, since they would most likely have little domain knowledge related to databases, they may be more reassured that I could complete whatever they needed if I could show that I had a related certification.
Yet, your question fundamentally asks if getting a certification directly translates into commanding more money. Although the certification industry would like to market their products in such a way, I personally believe that finding a job and/or career is much more complex than saying that just because I have a certification, I will definitely make more money than the next guy who doesn't.
What is more important is possessing the necessary knowledge & experience. Yes, certifications can help on these fronts, but they are not a guarantee.
Having said that, the reputation of the various Cisco & Red Hat certifications are generally good. They apparently have been doing a good job in verifying that certificate holders have relevant knowledge.

Thank You
Yet again ocicat you answer me when no one else does.
This adds to your balance 1 more point, Thank you for replying my post.
Will, this would be the case of the whole world now, being a Certificate Holder + a Diploma or with out it helps getting a job like 60% if it's not 40%...the rest is divided between good luck and good circumstances and good reputation.
Certificates "Except for the performance-based certifications" are nothing but a paper that can not a sure that you can do what you are required to do, it was supposed to be ....but that's where we stand now!
so, what I think is ..... doing exams is not really needed unless some company needs the info to be but in your file!
2nd I think that every executive should but the employee under test to check if he is gonna do the job or not.
3rd Do not Stop learning
4th that's it for now

Wabash alumnus N. Clay Robbins '79, who is president of Lilly Endowment Inc., received the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology's highest honor during the 128th Commencement ceremonies in Terre Haute. Robbins was one of three men who received an honorary doctorate of humane letters. What follows is the citation read when Robbins was presented for his degree.
"Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, it is my pleasure to present to you N. Clay Robbins, for the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters.
"Throughout his life, Clay Robbins has been guided by a consistent set of values: hard work, high standards, integrity, honesty, and generosity of spirit. He is a leader in every sense of the word.
"Clay Robbins has served as the president of Lilly Endowment since 1994. He joined the staff of Lilly Endowment in 1993 as the vice president for Community Development, supervising the division's grant-making activities. He was elected as a member of the Endowment's Board of Directors in 1999. His values are reflected in the Endowment's long term commitment to nurturing Indiana's intellectual capital, especially as represented in our youth. Thirty-four of our graduates here today are Lilly Community Foundation Scholars.
"An Indianapolis native, Clay Robbins graduated from Wabash College in 1979, where he was a religion major and Lilly Scholar. He went on to earn a J.D. from Vanderbilt University School of Law.
"In 1982, Clay Robbins joined the law firm of Baker & Daniels where he later became a partner. There he focused his practice on tax-exempt organizations, estate and gift tax, and immigration law. He also served as an exchange associate in the European Economic Community in Brussels, Belgium.
"A member of the Indiana State Bar Association, Clay Robbins chaired the international law section in 1987-1988 and served on the drafting committee for the Indiana Nonprofit Corporation Act of 1991.
"Clay Robbins also serves as a member of the boards of the United Way of Central Indiana, the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce and the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership. He is also a former director of the Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee, the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, and Damar Homes, a nonprofit residential program serving youth with developmental disabilities.
"Along the way, Clay Robbins has been an active member of North United Methodist Church in Indianapolis, taken time to coach youth sports teams, and shared the joy of planting and nurturing a garden with his family. Clay and his wife Amy are the proud parents of three sons.
"In recognition of these achievements, the Board of Trustees of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology present on this 27th day of May 2006, N. Clay Robbins for the highest award of the Institute, the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters."
