Conscious Eating Guidelines
Yogi Bhajan explains in a lecture called Bhoj Kriya: How to Eat Consciously for Good Health, "If you do not mix saliva in every morsel of your food, you are eating poison." We gulp our food. It is totally unconscious. We break up the food with the teeth and swallow. The problem is that digestion begins in the mouth. Your saliva breaks down starch into simple sugar. Poison becomes nectar by simply eating small bites, chewing consciously, mixing your saliva and tasting the sweetness.
In the same lecture, Yogi Bhajan says, "When you swallow food that is not chewed properly, it swallows your strength, your life. Then nothing is left of you. Slow eating is one of the best meditations on this Earth." Finally he says, "Your life will be long and your power will be great if you taste every morsel of the food you eat."
Guidelines for Preparing Food
- Prepare the food you (and others) eat with love and care. An important ingredient of the yogic diet is the vibration that is put into the food. When you chant and have a positive projection as you are preparing food, you enhance the nourishment and healing power of the food.
- Eat in a relaxing, pleasant environment. This helps with the digestion and assimilation of the food.
- Serve food gracefully. The act of serving others instills a consciousness and sacredness to the eating experience.
- Take a minute before you eat to be grateful. Blessing food adds prana, or life force. Prayers don't always have to be eloquent and inspired. Shakti Parwha Kaur said, "I've heard Yogi Bhajan say things like, 'Thanks a lot, God. We were really hungry and you gave us food. Please bless it and bless us.'" Remember the Giver.
Guidelines for Good Digestion and Elimination
Yogi Bhajan said that most people eat like animals—chomp, chomp, gulp. The alternative is to eat like angels, small bites, chewed thoroughly, mixed with the saliva in the mouth, tasting the sweetness and only then swallowed.
Yogis have known for thousands of years that one of the easiest keys to health is slow conscious eating. It takes practice. You have to retrain yourself. Eating is something you have done for your entire life without thinking about how it is done. Changing this habit will take some serious reprogramming. It starts by counting your chews.
- If you can't digest it, don't eat it.
- Eat only what you can eliminate within 18-24 hours.
- Stop eating before you feel full.
- Rest after meals: nap after lunch, walk after dinner.
- Don't eat after sunset.
- Chew more than you think you need to. The stomach has no teeth.
- Have regular eating times, and eat only when you are hungry.
Kundalini Yoga for Digestion
A great way to get relief from over-eating is sitting in Rock Pose (on the heels). Sit in Rock Pose (Vajar Asan) for a few minutes after dinner. It is said that one can digest rocks in this posture.
Another kriya for digestive problems is Vatskar Dhouti Kriya.

Expert Reviews
2009 Dodge Durango
Dodge Durango looks tough but rides smoothly. Big and bulky, it handles like a truck, but it's quiet, roomy, and comfortable, with a host of available technology. Properly equipped, Durango is rated to tow up to 8,950 pounds.
A new hybrid gas-electric powertrain joins the lineup for 2009, allowing a 40-percent improvement in fuel economy in heavy traffic. The Durango Hybrid model is a durable vehicle with strong towing capacity that gets decent fuel economy in commuter traffic.
This second-generation Durango, which first appeared as a 2004 model, fits between the Chevy Tahoe and Ford Expedition in exterior dimensions. It's larger than midsize SUVs, such as the Ford Explorer, and has the room and feel of a full-size SUV, such as the Expedition and Tahoe.
Durango offers seating for five, seven or eight, depending on the model; for example, optional second-row bucket seats provide seven-passenger capacity on a three-row model. With all seats folded, there's more than 100 cubic feet of cargo space. You can slide full-size sheets of plywood in back.
A V6 is standard, but two V8s are available and both are superb. The 4.7-liter V8 is a Flex Fuel engine that can run on gasoline or up to 85 percent ethanol (E85). It's smooth and powerful, but drivers who want or need more can opt for the celebrated 5.7-liter Hemi, which gains 30 horsepower for 2009. Both V8s come with a five-speed automatic transmission that's smooth, refined, and responsive. This transmission includes a Tow/Haul feature we like that holds lower gears longer when towing to reduce gear searching.
The biggest news for 2009 is the addition of a Hybrid model that utilizes the Hemi V8 and two electric motors. Dodge says the Durango Hybrid gets a 25-percent fuel economy boost in combined city and highway driving, and a 40-percent boost in the city.
New for 2009, the available rear DVD entertainment system gains Sirius Backseat TV. Dodge's MyGIG hard-drive radio is now called UConnect GPS in the Durango and its hard-drive grows from 20 to 30 gigabytes. The base SXT model has also been replaced by an SE model and last year's Adventurer model is gone.
Model LineupDodge Durango SE 2WD ($27,630); SE AWD ($30,910); SLT 2WD ($30,765); SLT AWD ($34,045); Limited 2WD ($37,065); Limited AWD ($39,285); Hybrid ($44,540)
Walk Around
The Dodge Durango offers an imposing presence in rearview mirrors, with its big crosshair grille and shotgun headlights that have become a Dodge signature.
The Durango features a high beltline that suggests great mass. The short front and rear overhangs, not typical of a full-size SUV, contribute to Durango's forceful expression. The short hood and flared fenders give the Durango the look of a big-rig truck. That short hood leads into a steeply raked windshield and sloping roof. The front fenders make the hood look as narrow as it is short. The windshield is aerodynamically efficient and offers good visibility.
SLT models come with 18-inch aluminum wheels, and 18-inch chrome-clad aluminum wheels come standard on Limited; 20-inch chrome-clad wheels are optional. All of these big rims are framed nicely by Durango's bold wheel arches. The large (6×9-inch) rearview mirrors are heated and folding on all models.
The roofline dips slightly at the rear, and the liftgate window curves in to meet it, which keeps Durango from looking entirely like a box. Afterburner tail lamps are another Dodge hallmark. The center high-mounted stop lamp is integrated smoothly into the rear roofline. A wide chrome applique accentuates the rear liftgate and features a centered, three-dimensional ram's head.
The Hybrid model does not have any exterior modifications, unlike the GM two-stage hybrid vehicles that tout their green powertrains.
Despite its modern aerodynamics, the Durango takes styling cues from the 1946-68 Dodge Power Wagon, essentially a World War II T214 military truck with a longer wheelbase and a civilian-style, fully enclosed cab. In the immediate postwar era, when the Willys Jeep owned the quarter-ton utility-vehicle market (and mainstream pickups didn't yet offer four-wheel drive) the 3/4-ton Power Wagon was the first choice of rural contractors, firefighters, and forest rangers who needed serious off-road capability and more load capacity than the Jeep could provide. It was popular for hunting and fishing for the same reasons. Today's Durango is far more refined than those old Power Wagons, and the Durango offers better capability.
The Dodge Durango feels spacious inside. Large amounts of glass contribute to that feeling along with lots of cargo space. The Durango is officially classified as a midsize SUV, like the Ford Explorer, but it's bigger than that and inside it feels like a full-size SUV. It straddles the segment.
The front seats are comfortable, neither too soft nor too firm, and the four-spoke steering wheel is nice. The cloth upholstery in SLT models is said to be stain, odor, and static-resistant. Dog hair might be another matter, though. The SLT and Hybrid models have orange-hued wood trim, while the Limited presents a cleaner look with its brushed aluminum. And that trim is real wood and real aluminum, not plastic.
Second-row bucket seats are available to replace the standard 40/20/40 bench. A second-row floor console is part of the bucket-seat package. And if you order the optional heat for the front bucket seats, the second-row buckets get it, too. As a compromise for customers who need to carry five adults, the 40/20/40 bench has a recline feature on all but SE. Separate rear-seat climate controls are standard on all but SE, a useful feature when carrying dogs to say nothing of rear-seat passengers.
Details are carefully thought out, including convenient grab handles cleverly molded into the stubby rear leg of the second-row seat, which ease climbing back to the third row. Once back there, a small bubble in the ceiling provides additional headroom for third-row passengers. A one-piece third-row bench is standard on SLT. On Limited and Hybrid models, the third row is split 60/40 for additional convenience.
The second and third rows are notably easy to access because the rear doors open an exceptionally wide 84 degrees. The second-row seat easily flips forward with the touch of one hand, and the seatback flops flat just as easily. This is no small virtue.
Cargo capacity is quite impressive, making the Durango a great hauler. Behind the second row of seats is 68 cubic feet of cargo space, equal to the total for many SUVs. Put the second row down, and there's 102 cubic feet of cargo capacity. The distance between the wheel housings is 48 inches, so full-size sheets of plywood can be loaded flat. Speaking of loading cargo, this task is aided by the liftgate, which opens easily and is power-operated on Limited and Hybrid models. The cargo floor is relatively low, thanks to the rear suspension design, making loading and unloading easier.
Instrumentation is clean, handsome, easy to read, and easy to operate. It is simple and utilitarian. We especially like the black-on-white gauges and rectangular black Venetian-blind style heating and cooling vents.
The center console is deep, under a removable tray. On Limiteds and Hybrids, it is covered in leather. Forward of that is another important compartment designed to serve as a fast-food bin. Two integrated cup holders with removable neoprene for different sizes of drink containers are provided.
We found the SLT's manual heating controls and the wiper controls fussy, and the high beams seemed a little lacking one wintry night. The Limited and Hybrid's high-tech climate-control panel with automatic temperature adjustment is better. And we welcome the availability of seat heaters.
The Hybrid's gauge cluster replaces the tachometer with a power gauge that shows when the electric motors are aiding power or being charged. The power gauge has a green Economy zone that drivers can use to aim for the best fuel economy.
The UConnect GPS system comes with a 6.5-inch touch screen, a navigation system with real-time traffic, and a 30-gigabyte hard drive to hold music and picture files, plus navigation map information. The navigation system can be operated with voice commands, which can be used to input destination information when the vehicle is in motion. The optional rear DVD entertainment system now has Sirius Backseat TV, which has three children's channels: Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network. DVDs and TV can be played on the front navigation screen when the vehicle is in Park.
Driving Impressions
With its size and refinement, the Dodge Durango can be a good compromise between the medium and extra-large SUVs available from other manufacturers. It's smaller than the Tahoe and Expedition. As with all truck-based SUVs, it lacks the pleasant handling of the new generation of larger crossover SUVs. That said, the Durango is smooth and quiet, quite different from earlier noisy, rough-riding sport-utilities. In addition, the Hybrid model is fuel efficient like a crossover, though at a steep price.
The 3.7-liter V6 lacks the power to adequately move this heavy vehicle, and it doesn't offer a fuel economy gain. Its estimated EPA fuel economy rating is 14 miles per gallon City and 19 mpg Highway, which is the same as the 4.7-liter V8 and only 1 mpg better in the City than the 5.7-liter Hemi. The V6 comes with a four-speed automatic and is rated to pull a 3750-pound trailer. The only way a V6 Durango makes sense over a crossover, or car-based, SUV that offers similar towing and hauling capability is for someone who wants the durability of the truck-based suspension and chassis, for example because they drive on unpaved roads a lot. In any case, we recommend one of the V8s for the Durango. The V6 doesn't make much sense to us.
The 4.7-liter V8 engine produces 303 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque. The 4.7-liter engine is generally competent and smooth, but it struggles to provide passing punch. With the 4.7-liter V8, the Durango can pull up to 6050 pounds. It is rated at 14/19 mpg with rear-wheel drive, using 87-octane regular, and 13/17 mpg with AWD.
The 5.7-liter V8 Hemi is upgraded for 2009, gaining 30 horsepower to 365 and 20 pound-feet of torque to 390. It provides more immediate power and more confident passing punch than the 4.7-liter.
Fuel economy ratings for the 5.7-liter V8 are 13/19 mpg with 2WD and 13/18 with AWD. Dodge recommends 89 octane fuel, though 87 octane is acceptable. The 5.7-liter Hemi's fuel economy is enhanced by Dodge's Multi-Displacement System, which disables four of the eight cylinders when cruising by deactivating the valve lifters. We found the transition between cruising and power modes nearly indiscernible.
The 5.7-liter Hemi seems like a good value and is our choice for the Durango. With it, the Durango is rated to tow up to 8,950 pounds with the optional 3.92 rear axle.
We were most impressed by the five-speed automatic transmission that comes with the V8 engines. The shifts were smooth; shifting up or down between third and fourth gears was undetectable. The transmission features a Tow/Haul mode, which holds the gears longer and will downshift under deceleration, as might be needed with a trailer on mountainous terrain. It's cool when you come toward a turn at high speed and back off, and the automatic transmission drops a downshift for you.
The 2009 Dodge Durango Hybrid shares its two-mode hybrid system with the 2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid and the new round of full-size SUV and pickup hybrids from General Motors. Developed with BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and GM, this system uses a new electrically continuously variable transmission (ECVT) paired with the Hemi V8. The ECVT has two electric motors and four fixed gears. Total output is 385 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. Dodge says the hybrid system boosts city fuel economy by 40 percent and overall fuel economy by more than 25 percent. Fuel economy is estimated at 19/20 mpg City/Highway.
The Hybrid has a Traction Power Inversion Module that determines when the vehicle should operate in the first or second mode and also chooses gears. The first mode is mostly for around-town driving and can use battery power alone up to 25 mph. The second mode is meant for highway speeds and always uses engine power. No engine speed changes are necessary for mode shifts to occur. In the Hybrid, the Hemi V8 also has the Multi Displacement System, and Dodge says the hybrid system allows the Aspen to idle part of the engine more often for better fuel economy.
On the road, the hybrid system works well, but not seamlessly. We detected a stutter during initial acceleration. We also felt a clunk that may have been the system choosing one of the fixed gears, or it could have been the Multi Displacement System kicking in, or even the engine starting. Also, in aggressive acceleration, we noticed a dead spot at about 45 mph. It felt like a manual transmission in the middle of a gear shift. Dodge engineers said it was the ECVT switching between modes. It's a little annoying, but it's not noticeable when you go easy on the throttle. Overall, the Durango's hybrid system is mostly transparent in operation, and you have to pay careful attention to tell that you're not driving a regular gasoline model.
The Hybrid powertrain may make the Durango slightly quicker than the standard Hemi version, but not by much. Any additional power the hybrid system provides at low speeds is offset by the sometimes tardy operation of the ECVT, and we actually felt the standard Hemi was more responsive. The Hybrid may also not be the best choice if you need to tow. It is rated to tow 6000 pounds. But it gets good fuel economy and emits less pollution.
The Durango has good brakes. When you need to slow down or stop, they'll be there. They're big vented discs with twin-piston calipers in front, just the thing for holding back this heavy beast. The anti-lock brakes (ABS) helps the driver maintain steering control by eliminating wheel lockup, while electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) balances braking forces front and rear for more stable stopping. We slammed on the brakes several times from 70 mph and found the Durango stopped steady and true.
Cornering and handling are good for a big SUV, but the Durango is far less nimble than a car or crossover SUV. The first-generation models borrowed running gear from the Dakota pickup, but since its first major redesign for 2004, the Durango has been built on its own platform. Chassis rigidity benefits from hydroformed box-section frame rails.
Ride quality is surprisingly good, thanks to plenty of wheel travel built into Durango's suspension. Up front, torsion bars absorb impacts while providing tight control. Out back, Durango centers its live rear axle with a three-segment Watt link instead of a single-segment Panhard rod. This not only eliminates the slight bit of sway that's built into Panhard or track bar systems, but also makes room for a lower, wider load floor. Dodge engineers say they considered an independent rear suspension, but found this arrangement provided many of the same handling and space advantages, while retaining the superior load capacity of a live axle. Durango's rack-and-pinion steering provides a 39.9-foot turning circle, three feet larger than a Ford Explorer, but pretty good for a vehicle of this size.
We found the Durango offered responsive handling over more than 100 miles of remote twisty roads in the Texas Hill Country. It maintained composure in hard cornering, but exhibited body lean typical of a truck-based SUV. The engine sits relatively far back in the chassis resulting in better balance. Driving a 5.7-liter Durango SLT around Detroit in January backed up our earlier impressions. It felt very secure in icy conditions.
In off-road driving, our Durango didn't hit bottom even when driving aggressively over rough terrain. However, crawling over irregular terrain in 4 Low reveals the suspension is set up more for on-road handling than off-road flex. On a great 4X4, the suspension articulates to let the wheels droop to the ground. That's fine for severe off-highway use, but it's at odds with good handling on pavement. In the Durango's case, Dodge has traded some extreme off-road capability for superior on-road handling, which more people will appreciate on an everyday basis. The off-highway capability, meanwhile, is plenty good enough to get the Durango down primitive roads and two-tracks in the backcountry.
We towed a 5,950-pound trailer for about 30 miles behind a Durango with the 5.7-liter Hemi and decided it's the best model if you need to tow. The 4.7-liter V8 would also do the job, but it would struggle on uphill grades and would offer slower acceleration when taking off from a stop or merging onto a fast freeway. And while the Hybrid has a diminished towing capacity, its 6000-pound rating is quite substantial.
The Dodge Durango is smooth and powerful with either of the two V8 engines, and the new Hybrid powertrain operates admirably, though with a few minor annoyances. This large midsize SUV rides well, handles well for its size and weight, and has excellent engineering touches and details. If you need a large SUV for towing or managing rough terrain, the Durango is a fine choice. If not, a car-based crossover SUV would provide a more pleasant driving experience.

Carlsbad is a town in California's San Diego County, with a relaxed oceanfront atmosphere. With some great beaches, golf courses, restaurants and tourist attractions, it is a perfect destination for a family holiday - whether you are planning to just laze on the beach or explore California. And with some amazing deals on apartment rentals in and around the town, you would be surprised at how low cost a trip to Carlsbad can be!
There is a great deal to do in Carlsbad - easily enough to fill a week's family holiday. Quite apart from the beaches themselves (Carlsbad State Beach is probably the most well maintained and pleasant) where you'll want to spend at least a few days sunbathing and indulging in watersports, including some great surfing opportunities, the town has some fantastic shops and a huge number of restaurants to sample - particularly Mexican food, as in much of this part of California. Children of all ages will also insist on a visit to Legoland California, the only Lego theme park in America and well worth taking a day out of the schedule to see the various Lego sculptures and be scared witless on the rides. And if you're visiting between March and May, the fields of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus at Flower Fields are also well worth exploring.
With a wide variety of condo and apartment rentals in and around Carlsbad, there are some great deals to be found, and you should be able to find self catered accommodation to suit every budget. An apartment large enough to accommodate a family of four or more can be rented from around £430 a week, which is certainly low cost compared to the expense of booking hotel rooms for the whole family. And with many of the properties boasting incredible views over the ocean, booking apartment rentals will certainly not feel like a money saving option! The extra privacy and space means that rental homes are also great for kids - the youngest members of the family can run around and let off steam without you having to worry about them disturbing the neighbours!

The Pandemic Response Team, part of the Campus Emergency Management Team , has been working to develop the appropriate measures to be taken during a potential influenza outbreak.
The Pandemic Response Team will provide regular updates regarding pandemic response planning activities to the St. Scholastica community through this Web site.
Flu season in the United States usually ranges from November through March, and health officials are concerned because of the threat of a worldwide influenza pandemic possibly developing from the H5N1 strain of bird (avian) flu circulating around the world. Since 2003, the strain has infected 272 people in 11 nations, killing 166, according to the World Health Organization.
Humans have little pre-existing natural immunity to H5N1 infection. Therefore, if these H5N1 viruses gain the ability for efficient and sustained transmission among humans, an influenza pandemic could result, with potentially high rates of illness and death.
Preventive Conduct
Take the following actions to help prevent a pandemic and Avian flu infection locally.
• Maintain practice of personal and environmental hygiene, such as frequent hand washing.
• Consult you doctor if you feel ill, especially when you run a fever.
• Maintain general awareness of a pandemic and Avian Flu outbreaks.
• Keep track of the development of a pandemic and Avian Flu infection world wide by going to the following regional, national and international Websites.

Arze, a Bolivian midfielder who had one goal in 26 games, helped the Whitecaps to a second-place finish this season and will vie for rookie of the year honours with Osvaldo Alonso of the Charleston Battery and Martin Nunez of the Carolina Railhawks. Limniatis is up against Colin Clarke of the Puerto Rico Islanders for the coach of the year award. Limniatis took over from Nick de Santis on June 10 with the Impact in last place. After the change, the team went 10-6-4 and doubled its output on attack from 0.60 to 1.35 goals per game. His team also won the Nutrilite Canadian Championship to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League, where they have two wins and a draw thus far in group stage competition. The Whitecaps and Impact face one another in the two-game playoff semifinals this weekend, with matches Friday night in Montreal and Sunday in Vancouver. The first-place Islanders, who had the league's top attack and best defence, dominated the nominations. Candidates for most valuable player are Puerto Rico's Jonathan Steele, Macoumba Kandji of the Atlanta Silverbacks and Alex Afonso of Miami FC, who led the USL with 15 goals - more than half the 28 goals scored by his club. Kandji had 11 goals in only 21 games before be was loaned to New York of Major League Soccer. Defender of the year candidates are Cristian Arrieta of Puerto Rico, Taylor Graham of the Seattle Sounders and David Hughes of Atlanta. Previous Next

Uncollected Editions: Top Uncollected Marvel Stories
Wednesday, April 18, 2012
Here at Collected Editions, there's a feature called "Uncollected Editions," investigating comic book runs which have never been collected. DC Comics isn't the only company behind on its collections, however.
Below are five runs which I think need to be put to trade. Naturally, there are others, so feel free to mention in the comments your favorite Marvel issues that you'd like to see in trade paperback.
During the research for this article, I discovered that a few of my suggestions, such as Untold Tales of Spider-Man, have finally been collected, to my relief.
5. Rom: Spaceknight Vol. 1 #1-75.
It may be a bit unfair to push Marvel to collect this, as Rom was a toy tie-in comic. Like the Transformers and G.I. Joe books, however, it transcended its toy roots and became a classic in its own rights. His supporting characters and the villains of the series, the Dire Wraiths, continue to make appearances, while Rom has even been turned into a human. The Rom character and design are owned by Parker Brothers, which is a subsidiary of Hasbro ... which now makes Marvel's toys. There's a chance that we may yet see Rom both in toy and comic book form in the near future.
4. The Rest of Thunderbolts Vol. 1 #15-41, #45-75.
The two Thunderbolts Classics editions have been mostly great, despite the first volume being just an expanded version of Justice, Like Lightning. I don't want these Classics volumes to peter out before the whole series is collected. (Issues #42-44 are part of an Avengers crossover, The Nefaria Protocols, and are collected in that trade. Keep 'em coming, Marvel!
3. Iron Man Vol. 1 #163-200.
A few years ago, I doubted that Marvel would ever collect the four-year-long Obadiah Stane saga in any convenient form. A few issues were collected in the Many Armors of Iron Man trade. However, the various omnibus editions and massive trades of The Clone Saga, Onslaught, and especially The Captain prove that Marvel has some interest in collecting longer stories. Though the Stane saga is somewhat padded out, it does feature Jim Rhodes' first tenure as Iron Man and the classic Stark vs. Stane showdown. Two trades of The Captain's length should do it.
2. Hellstorm Vol. 1 #1-21.
I mentioned in the Marvel Legacy Handbook review that this series was weirder than anything ever published by Vertigo. While Rafael Nieves and Len Kaminski both penned great stories, it really reached the heights of the bizarre under Warren Ellis' tenure. I've been tempted to write a Hellstorm movie based on Ellis' Armorer storyline. The artwork is extremely dark and gruesome, fitting the similar mood.
1. Iron Man Vol. 1 #300-318.
I've mentioned the Modular Armor era of Iron Man a few times before, so naturally, it's at the top of my list. Len Kaminski's run on Iron Man is often lumped into the 1990s Dark Age, but they actually precede the worst of the worst, although the art is of mixed quality. This run also includes the "Heart of Darkness" crossover between Iron Man, War Machine and Force Works. Issue #319 begins Tony's descent into poorly-conceived villainy and the horror that is Teen Tony, but the issues before it deserve recognition.
Those are my picks -- what have you been waiting for Marvel to collect? [If it's the Avengers vs. X-Men crossover, you're in luck -- that's already on its way! -- ed.]

Obviously, Rom is stuck in copyright limbo along with other Mantlo masterpieces like Micronauts (right?). Otherwise, it would top the list.ReplyDelete
Since I went out and bought every issue (don't forget the 4 Annuals), I don't mind as much, but I'm thinking of the wider community!
Master of Kung Fu - Steve Englehart, Jim Starlin, Doug Moench, Paul Gulacy, Mike Zeck and others.ReplyDelete
If we're talking about syndicated stuff that Marvel no longer has the copyright to, this tops the list. True, Shang Chi is owned by Marvel and Fu Manchu isn't, and in later issues, they avoided mentioning his name and Shang Chi was even more firmly entrenched in the Marvel Universe. I don't know what other legality is stopping them from collecting it but that has to be no 1 for me.
I honestly thought that Shang Chi had an Essential volume out and they just changed Fu Manchu's name for the reprinting. You're absolutely right, though. Shang Chi made an excellent appearance in Secret Avengers recently (which I'll be reviewing soon) and I'd like to see some of his earlier adventures get collected.ReplyDelete
As for Micronauts, it didn't make the list because unlike Rom, I felt it remained stuck in the "must sell toys" mode. Rom, on the other hand, didn't sell well as a toy but kept going for years afterwards.
Personally I'd like to see more of the Kyle Rayner Green Lantern stuff collected, I know there's huge gaps in that collection, and I believe I own all the trades that have been published. Definitely underrated in my opinion.ReplyDelete
Also it seems odd to me that Amazing spider-man #1-29 never made it into any form of collection, as soon as Straczynski started his run at #30 they started collecting it! You'd have thought that issue #1 would have been an ideal place to start a new line of trades. It boggles the mind...
( Hal Jordan as ) The Spectre vol. 4 (#1 - #27), written by J. M. DeMatteis.ReplyDelete
See http://www.comics.org/series/10922/
I'm off topic, sorry ( while "The Spectre" is not a Marvel series ).ReplyDelete
Off topic is OK. :-) DeMatteis's Hal Jordan Spectre series is a pretty common request. What interests you or did you like about it that makes you want a collection of it?ReplyDelete
I agree with Robin about collecting the rest of the Kyle Rayner era of Green Lantern. After Baptism of Fire, I think the TPBs skipped all the way to Emerald Knights.ReplyDelete
About Amazing Spider-Man v2 #1-29, Marvel is collecting those stories in a series of TPBs called "Spider-Man: The Next Chapter", which will cover the entire Mackie/Byrne relaunch era.
There is a lot to do with Kyle and Jade's relationship that at one point I, too, wanted to see those issues collected; now I'm not sure I'd want to "relive the drama" knowing it didn't amount to anything. But you wouldn't see me complaining about new collections of older material!ReplyDelete
Part of the first Iron Man run you mentioned has already been collected, so I think it's safe to assume that Marvel fully intends to reprint that creative run in full. (Iron Man #193-200 are collected in the Iron Man: Iron Monger hardcover.)ReplyDelete
Marvel recently (as in, within the last year) tried to come to an arrangement over the Master of Kung Fu material but was unsuccessful. I assume they tried to do so with Rom as well -- however, the newly solicited Incredible Hulk: Regression trade (a Mantlo-penned volume, on par with The Captain in size) skips an issue featuring the character, so it would seem that was unsuccessful as well. (Someone from Marvel's collected editions department has already confirmed that they intend to include a page in the trade explaining the issue's events.)
As for Thunderbolts, a third volume in the Classic line has already been solicited. It seems to have been fast-tracked, just as Marvel did for the Deadpool Classic series.
If they are going to collect DeMatteis's Hal Jordan Spectre series then they need to collect the Day of Judgement mini series by Geoff Johns that had Hal Jordan become the Spectre.ReplyDelete
I've been thrilled to see that Thunderbolts has been getting Classics collections & they hold up quite well for 15 year old stories.ReplyDelete
I would buy Hellstorm trades in a second! Especially the Warren Ellis/Leonarado Manco stuff.
I would also love to see a collection of the Ellis Hellstorm issues. I have some of the run in single issues but not complete.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous4/19/2012 03:51:00 PM
Seriously Marvel, when are we going to see some color reprints of Nova????? Ya gave him four series to run with so someone there must have had some faith in the character.... :)ReplyDelete
And a black and white collection is crap, and everyone knows it....
- Anonymous4/20/2012 08:56:00 AM
I would love a Rom collection!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous4/20/2012 05:25:00 PM
I'd be thrilled to get the seagle and kelly x-men run. more alpha flight. the second byrne ff omnibus. more nocenti DD. englehart ff, with the rockier thing. a spectacular Spiderman omnibus. captain America from the death of red skull to the captain, minus the skourge stuff that came last year, plus the zeck stuff. nomad. ...ReplyDelete
@Ben: It's weird that DAY OF JUDGMENT hasn't been collected - it's five issues of Geoff Johns + Hal Jordan! I have to think that it's either because they'd see it as a step backwards in Hal's progress OR Johns just really doesn't want to see it reprinted ;)ReplyDelete
As for my list:ReplyDelete
Gail Simone's DEADPOOL/AGENT X
Joe Kelly/Steve Seagle's X-MEN & UNCANNY runs
Cary Nord's (+ Karl Kesel & Joe Kelly's) DAREDEVIL
COMPLETE GENERATION X (one classic tpb isn't enough) - at LEAST through the Bachalo years
Dan Jolley & Tony Harris' DR. STRANGE mini
I always loved the look of the modular armor. It's probably in my top three Iron Man armors. Such a shame it was ditched so quickly; it wasn't around much more than a year before it was dropkicked into irrelevancy. Hell, the armor is better known for the years worth of appearances it made outside of comics; it's another example of the Shredder effect, where in the Ninja Turtles cartoons Shredder was such a huge foe but the comics that originated him dispatched him the first time in their first issue (and his return around the tenth ended ten or twelve issues later).ReplyDelete
I totally did not know that about Shredder.ReplyDelete
Oh yeah. In Eastman and Lairds defense, they totally didn't know what they had at first. The first issue that birthed the whole concept was at least partially a parody of Frank Millers work. They never actually planned a follow-up, hence killing Shredder off at the end of the first issue. Once it took off, it became an ongoing. Shredder was in two more stories - which are, make no mistake, classics - which were his return and when he was finally put down.ReplyDelete
So, while he was their arch-enemy, he was only around for a bit. The book did a bunch of other stuff afterwards. It wasn't until the films and the cartoons that he was really solidified as their ongoing nemesis.
The Foot continued to be a antagonistic force after that, though, but Eastman and Laird compensated for Shredders death by giving more depth to the group (like how the Foot we knew best were just one branch of the group, the main being in Japan).
I'm sure the current series and continuity IDW is doing - which is slowly rolling out ongoing threats - won't make the same mistake of killing him off.
What happened with the Shredder reminds me of what they did with Guyver II in later adaptations. Yoshiki Takaya regretted killing off such a powerful baddie so early on, so in the 2005 anime, he had them rearrange the story a bit to make him the big bad for the first eight episodes. In the manga, he brought in the female Guyver II from the very first Guyver OVA in the 80s.ReplyDelete
Unfortunately, I only know about this through Wikipedia and scanlations because Guyver manga hasn't been brought over to the US for decades, and every adaptation stops at the exact same freaking point!
- camckinnon4/27/2012 09:56:00 AM
Off-topic (again - sorry...), but while we're at it, am I the only one who would really like to see some (or all) or Mike Grell's run on Green Arrow from the 80s/90s collected? I have most of them in single issues, but a Mike Grell Green Arrow Omnibus (or two) wouldn't go amiss (unless such a thing exists and I've missed it).ReplyDelete
Yes -- see my Green arrow: Longbow Hunters review; I'd love to see a Grell Green Arrow Omnibus as well.ReplyDelete
- camckinnon4/27/2012 10:16:00 AM
I'd forgotten that - great review, by the way. DC, are you listening?ReplyDelete

People usually don't have high expectations from fast food restaurants. Hot and delicious will do.
But some chain restaurant foods are bad enough for employees to warn you to stay away.
A recent Reddit thread explored the worst ordering decisions at restaurants including McDonald's, Subway and KFC.
Some of the foods are very high-calorie, while others are made under allegedly unsanitary conditions.
Employees also gave tips on which foods are fresh and which aren't.
Their opinions might sway your next fast food order.

MTV has a first look at the trailer for Chasing Mavericks. Watch it below!
The official website is also up at http://www.livelikejay.com/ as is a Facebook and Twitter to follow for all the latest news and updates.
CHASING MAVERICKS is the inspirational true story of real life surfing phenom Jay Moriarity (played by newcomer Jonny Weston). When 15 year old Jay discovers that the mythic Mavericks surf break, one of the biggest waves on Earth, is not only real, but exists just miles from his Santa Cruz home, he enlists the help of local legend Frosty Hesson (played by Gerard Butler) to train him to survive it. As Jay and Frosty embark on their quest to accomplish the impossible, they form a unique friendship that transforms both their lives, and their quest to tame Mavericks becomes about far more than surfing. Chasing Mavericks was made with the help of some of the biggest names in the surfing world, and features some of the most mind-blowing real wave footage ever captured on film.

Visit Vocations Toronto at www.vocationstoronto.ca, a resourceful site in answering these questions.
This hope exists for us too. We have the hope that despite our sins, God's compassion and mercy has restored us to life with him. His forgiveness is infinitely more powerful than our guilt.
There are some people who are so full of guilt that they have a difficult time just setting foot in Church. Foremost of these are any who have been involved in abortion, either having one or convincing someone else to have one. There is nothing worse for a parent than the death of a child. There is no guilt deeper than those who have caused the death of a child. A wonderful, brave lady made the huge step and came to confession after forty years. She told me that she had broken all of the commandments. I tried to make it a bit easier for her, so I said, "I'm sure you haven't killed anyone." She responded, "Yes I did. I had an abortion." Our Diocese has asked the priests to address this issue with our people and to remind them that there is help. Project Rachel is a Diocesan Program to help those involved in an abortion accept forgiveness and move on with their lives. Our Pregnancy Center offers this program. The Family Life Office of the Diocese also has Project Rachel counselors. Actually, years ago I also attended a workshop and was certified to do this counseling. If you know of anyone suffering from having had or been involved in an abortion, remember, the Lord did not want that lady by the well hurting. Nor does he want us hurting, no matter what we have done. There is hope for a normal life, one where a person is once more comfortable in his or her own skin. Our hope is in the Lord. And this hope does not disappoint.
This also applies to all of the ways that we might feel shamefaced. Guilt is often too for us to carry. But when we give it to the Lord in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, confession, guilt dissolves. That is the reason why we have so many penance services and confession periods during Lent. We do not have to carry our burdens. Jesus carries them for us, all the way to Calvary. St. Paul reminds us in the second reading, "God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us."
For our well being, our emotional, physical and spiritual health, I am convinced it is crucial for us to perform three simple meditations every morning. I've often mentioned them. I suggest that we all do these as we get ready for the day, maybe while showering, or doing hair, or shaving, or whatever. The first is: God loves me with an unconditional love. He loves me for whom I am, not for what I do. Jesus loved that woman at the well for whom she was, a daughter of God, a sinful daughter of God, but still, a daughter of God. So we begin by saying, "Lord, you love me. Why? Because I am your son; I am your daughter."
Then we say, "God forgives me." The Divine Lover does not hold grudges. He forgives us. We need to forgive ourselves. "But the extent of my sins are deep, the results of my sins are wide," we complain. Think back to that lady at the well. How many people were hurt by her immoral lifestyle? How many children suffered as they were shuttled from one father to another? How many of them would grow up to imitate their mother's promiscuity? But Jesus still forgave her. His forgiveness was deeper and more powerful then her sins. It is also deeper and further reaching then our sins.
So, first, "God you love me with an unconditional love because I am your son, your daughter. And, second, "God, you forgive me. I need to forgive myself."
Then we come to the morning offering. The third meditation is simply, "God you are with me today. Whatever I do, I do with you and for you." That lady ran into town, glowing with love, knowing that God was with her. When the others saw the one who had been shamefaced full of joy, they ran out to meet Jesus. They wanted some of this, this love, this forgiveness, this presence. "Could He be the One who is the hope of the ages?" they asked. Then they came into his presence, and let him into their lives. "Yes, he is," they exclaimed. "Yes, He is," we agree." He is our hope. And hope does not disappoint.
Reflections are available for the following Sundays:

Mariah Pewarski led Harvard with two shots, both on goal (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
HANOVER, N.H.—Dartmouth's Lisa Masini scored the game's only goal in the sixth minute of overtime to lift the Big Green to a 1-0 win against the visiting Harvard field hockey team Saturday afternoon at Chase AstroTurf Field.
Cynthia Tassopoulos made four saves for the Crimson (3-13, 1-5 Ivy League), while Meagan Vakiener recorded three stops for the Big Green (9-6, 3-3), including a kick save on a Harvard give-and-go play late in the second half. Dartmouth held slim edges of 10-8 in shots and 8-5 in penalty corners. Harvard suffered its second overtime loss and third one-goal loss of the Ivy season.
"It was a great battle, and both teams competed really hard," said Harvard head coach Sue Caples. "We played a complete game and played well. We were rock solid defensively and had a lot of legitimate goal-scoring opportunities. We need to keep creating those opportunities and develop the poise and composure to finish."
Masini tallied an unassisted goal at the 75:28 mark for the game's only scoring. She scored after carrying the ball into the circle and using a spin move to get free for the shot, which she put into the left corner of the goal.
Harvard co-captain KJ Warren made her return from injury to see her first game action since 2008.
The Crimson concludes its season Nov. 6, when it hosts Columbia at Jordan Field at 1 p.m.

Don't think it will work on that front, and I'm not sure there is any real intention of following through with these obviously empty threats. The U.S. is in no position at the moment to waste foreign-policy-expenditure alloted funds on Camp David 2.0, even if we were anywhere near as influential on the Middle Eastern scene as we were for the version 1.0. If it does for some strange reason start to work, it will be left up to the next president to actually sort out what to do about securing a meaningful-but-not-too-expensive role in creating a Palestinian state. Despite the lucrative potential that exists in terms of the prospect of building infastructure and setting up a puppet democracy in order to economically colonize yet another nation in that region, the risks are too great. And any fiscal conservative is fully cognizant of this, I would imagine.

institutional incentive for peace:
In my view, it is a mistake to look for strategies that build mutual trust because it aint going to happen. Neither side has any reason to trust the other, for good reason, he says. Land for peace is an inherently flawed concept because it has a fundamental commitment problem. If I give you land on your promise of peace in the future, after you have the land, as the Israelis well know, it is very costly to take it back if you renege. You have an incentive to say, You made a good step, its a gesture in the right direction, but I thought you were giving me more than this. I cant give you peace just for this, its not enough. Conversely, if we have peace for landyou disarm, put down your weapons, and get rid of the threats to me and I will then give you the landthe reverse is true: I have no commitment to follow through. Once youve laid down your weapons, you have no threat.
Bueno de Mesquitas answer to this dilemma, which he discussed with the former Israeli prime minister and recently elected Labor leader Ehud Barak, is a formula that guarantees mutual incentives to cooperate. In a peaceful world, what do the Palestinians anticipate will be their main source of economic viability? Tourism. This is what their own documents say. And, of course, the Israelis make a lot of money from tourism, and that revenue is very easy to track. As a starting point requiring no trust, no mutual cooperation, I would suggest that all tourist revenue be [divided by] a fixed formula based on the current population of the region, which is roughly 40 percent Palestinian, 60 percent Israeli. The money would go automatically to each side. Now, when there is violence, tourists dont come. So the tourist revenue is automatically responsive to the level of violence on either side for both sides. You have an accounting firm that both sides agree to, you let the U.N. do it, whatever. Its completely self-enforcing, it requires no cooperation except the initial agreement by the Israelis that they are going to turn this part of the revenue over, on a fixed formula based on population, to some international agency, and thats that.
Recent poll presented here http://www.neareastconsulting.com/surveys/peace/211/ for those interested in gauging Palestinian attitudes.

Bush Peace Hallucinations Continue
By Sam Bahour
U.S. President George Bush landed in Israel yesterday on his first Presidential trip to the country. He participated in a press conference in Jerusalem with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in what both men termed a "historic" and "monumental" occasion. After listening to both so-called leaders make their opening comments and fielding questions from journalists, the only groundbreaking revelation I could register was that the naiveté of President Bush, either real or a charade, only served the agenda of one party in the region - Hamas. The radical Islamists at Hamas could not have recruited a better cheerleader for their movement if they tried.
My opinion may be extreme, but then again, I live in an extremely violent limbo under Israeli military occupation, shaped by a policy both men continuously refuse to call by its true name state terror.
Again, my opinion is certainly subjective - but then again, I started my day by reading a communique from the real world: a report issued from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs titled, Gaza Humanitarian Situation Report: Power Shortages In The Gaza Strip (8 January 2008). The report states the background of the issue; on 28 June 2006 the Israeli Air Force bombed the power plant in the Gaza Strip destroying all six transformers and cutting 43% of Gaza's total power capacity. The report says "households in the Gaza Strip are now experiencing regular power cuts" and goes on to note that "the irregular [electricity] supply causes additional problems. Running water in Gaza is only available in most households for around eight hours per day. If there is no power when water is available, it cannot be pumped above ground level, reducing the availability of running water to between four and six hours per day." The result of this single punitive measure, as stated in this report, is that if Gaza's Coastal Municipalities Water Utility "cannot provide its own emergency power supply because of its own fuel shortages, it has to pump raw sewage into the sea which damages the coastline in Gaza, southern Israel and Egypt."
In another report, released the same day, the World Food Program spokesperson Kirstie Campbell says 70 percent of the population of Gaza has to choose between putting food on the table or a roof over their heads.
For President Bush and Prime Minister Olmert, the fallout expected from the information in these disturbing reports, released one day before President Bush arrived in Israel, was not even worthy of worry. As a matter of fact, the reality that Israel has successfully placed 1.5 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, over 50% of them children, in the dark and under the most draconian siege in recent history did not even make it to the footnotes of either leader's comments.
Instead, much more important issues were on Bush's agenda. The need to realize and work on a "vision" for the future was in the forefront of President Bush's mind. According to President Bush, "the parties" should now sit down and "negotiate a vision" the parties being Israel, the 4th strongest military might in the world and a 40+ year occupier, and the Palestinians, the yet-to-be state of an occupied and displaced people who have been dispossessed by the State of Israel for 60 years and while on the receiving end of a brutal Israeli military occupation for over four decades.
Both Bush and Olmert did send one united message to the world. The two-state solution was still the aim of the negotiations. Reading between the lines, we can infer that the specter of a single state, from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River, is the most frightening vision of all. The terrifying notion of Palestinians (Muslims and Christians) and Israelis (Jews, Muslims, and Christians) living side by side with equal national and civil rights, has never been so apparent since the struggle in South Africa to end racist white supremacy under Apartheid. To ensure that a one-state solution does not materialize in historic Palestine, the U.S. and Israel talk about a two-state solution, but meantime, the U.S. bankrolls Israel as it continues to create facts on the ground that make any viable Palestinian state impossible.
Prime Minister Olmert was clear beyond a doubt: President Bush has been very, very good for Israel. Olmert was nearly jumping for joy as he praised President Bush for increasing the comprehensive U.S. aid package to Israel to a whopping $30 billion.
The issue of Israeli settlement-building in the occupied territory, including East Jerusalem, was raised repeatedly by journalists asking questions. Again, Israel's Olmert made no excuses; Jerusalem is different, he said, and no one should expect settlements to stop there. As for the other settlements, he said it was complicated and began elucidating the lexicon of "outposts," "population centers," etc. If only this entire settlement enterprise were not threatening Israel's very own citizens and future, Olmert's blather would have made excellent comedy material not to mention President Bush's weird facial expressions as he sought to evade the barrage of questions asking if the U.S. was ready to apply pressure on Israel to make good on its talk of freezing settlements. The best President Bush was able to come up with impromptu was to remind us all that Israel has been promising for over four years to stop settlements but has yet to do so. Even that came with a chuckle, as if the human tragedy these settlements are causing was a side show. Rarely has Mr. Bush given so persuasive an impression of being detached not just from the facts but from any sort of empathy for the victims of this appalling situation.
All in all, it looks like President Bush came to Israel to speak about Iran. Not only did Mr. Bush seem much more enthused about threatening Iran from Israel; his glaring inability to articulate a basic understanding of the Palestinian-Israeli issue left seasoned Israeli journalists chuckling in disbelief at the President's replies. The local press corps noted every opportunity seized by Olmert to hitch a ride on each one of President Bush's superficial comments, lauding the importance of the Bush visit, the Bush commitment to peace, and the Bush courage in confronting the region's difficulties.
Well, next President Bush arrives in my Israeli-occupied city of Al-Bireh/Ramallah. He plans to land two blocks away from my home, in a sports field where I happen to be developing as a commercial project for the Friends (Quaker) School. We were notified today that our street will be one of the many that will be under 100% lockdown. We were advised we would be risking our lives if we went to our rooftop to watch the charade unfold. Public notices from the Palestinian police chief warned that absolutely no protests would be tolerated. In short, we were told to stay indoors. Even our local newspaper advised a civil society campaign I work with that an ad we submitted to be published in today's newspaper, conveying a message to Bush via a cartoon, would require special approval from the newspaper's management, given the special circumstance that Bush is in town. (As I write, I'm being advised that our ad**, as is, was refused!) So much for running a business, economic development, and freedom of the press. So much for Palestinian democracy too.
As an American and a Palestinian, if I could advise Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on how to greet President Bush today, I would ask him to declare the end of the Palestinian Authority, which Israel has consciously and systematically destroyed. I would ask him to announce that the Palestinians will not accept Rambo-style diplomacy and will revert to international law as the only reference point for resolving the conflict. I would ask President Abbas to request America's support for non-violent resistance against 60 years of dispossession and 40 years of military occupation by calling for a strategy of boycotting, divestment and sanctions*** on Israel until Israel joins the community of law-abiding nations.
But that's not all. If I were President Abbas I would tell the world that the Palestinian people will remain committed to the two-state solution until the end of 2008, and after that, if the international community fails yet again to end this nightmare of occupation, the Palestinian people will return to their original strategy of calling for one democratic secular state, where Palestinians and Israelis of all religions can live in dignity and mutual respect as equals - one person, one vote, with appropriate arrangements for cultural autonomy for all.
President Abbas could lead now, or we could all sit and wait amid the increasing numbers of funerals, until the climax of the reality forced upon us by Israeli policy engenders a violent path to the same one-state solution that so many fear.

Good piece Woo - very depressing, but almost certainly accurate vis a vis US/Israeli intentions.
As for his flagrant overstepping of the authority of the executive branch, that has nothing to do with whether he's a fiscal conservative. No one, not even democrats, condone this.
I keep looking for that clip on youtube where Olmert is thanking Bush for upping aid to Israel into the ridiculous billions [according to Woo's article $30 billion] in the past year.
Can anyone point me to where I can find this? The Daily Show had it on a week or two ago, but I can't find it anywhere.

And you may not have directly said that Bush is a fiscal conservative, but you certainly implied it, and you have said it in the past.

Just like last year, we're showcasing the people, ideas and memes that made Deadspin 2009 shine. Today: Athlete Power Couples.
Tony Romo drops one empty blonde for another. He's like Derek Jeter, minus the on-the-field success.
Tom Brady kicked off months of grueling rehab by lounging at the pool with Gisele. They had a literal shotgun wedding. Gisele was manhandled by chiseled naked black men. The Golden Couple produced a Golden Child.
Shelden Williams stayed in the news by getting Candace Parker knocked up, and ESPN The Mag drooled over her C-cups. The WNBA rearranged their schedule to accommodate their really tall baby.
Miss Anti-Homo-Beauty-Queen dabbled with Michael Phelps. Then she dabbled with Kyle Boller.
Carmelo's lady La La brought out the racism in Mavericks fans.
Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett did everything they could to stay in the news, but Kendra couldn't stay off the pole.
Newly-single Alex Rodriguez sewed his wild oats with Kate Hudson. She smashed up his car, but at least it was accidental. The Yankee wives were extra-mean to Kate. She was the 26th member of the World Series winning team. The flame of love blazed strongly, but burned out quickly.
Paris Hilton put a hex on Cristiano Ronaldo.
Tila Tequila said Shawne Merriman slapped her around a bit. But the DA took the 'roid-user's word over the fame whore's.
Heidi Strobel told Cole Hamels she wanted an AIDS orphan, and stole some random children for a condo ad. Then they just decided to have one of their own.
Kim Kardashian turned Reggie Bush into a vampire. Then they stopped dating. Then they started again. The world holds its breath.
Lamar Odom landed the bronze medal of Kardashian sisters. They got married, but not really.
Tony Parker and Eva Longoria reminisced about oh, oh those summer nights.
Elin Nordegren became a household name.

Enjoy Eating Fish From The Sea? Get It While You Can
A report out today by the UK's Chatham House takes a look at trends in the consumption and production of the world's resources, from oil to soybeans.
There's plenty to see in the report, which predicts new waves of so-called resource nationalism as demand keeps booming and supplies remain tight, and calls for a new "R30" grouping of the world's most important resource producers and consumers.
We'll take a look at more of that soon, but for now, here's a pretty visual sign of the future for one major resource: fish. Production of fish from the ocean ("capture fisheries") has been pretty much stagnant since the 1980s, while farmed fish has boomed – more on this after the jump.

Bloomquist in lineup against lefty; Seager sits
ANAHEIM -- Willie Bloomquist returned to the Mariners lineup for the first time since 2008 on Wednesday, getting the start at third base in place of Kyle Seager as Seattle closed out its season-opening three-game series with the Angels.
Bloomquist, 36, signed a two-year deal in the offseason to serve as a utility player and didn't play in the first two games. But manager Lloyd McClendon believes in keeping all his players sharp as they come out of Spring Training and went with the veteran right-handed hitter against Angels lefty Hector Santiago.
"He's the last one to play for us," McClendon said. "We'd like to get him in there and give him a start. It gives Seager a break against these lefties a little bit. Get him freshened up and ready for Oakland."
Seager isn't used to getting time off. He played a team-high 160 games last year and 155 in 2012. His stretch of 106 consecutive starts from May 24 to Sept. 19 last year was the longest streak in club history for a third baseman.
But Seager is still looking for his swing this spring, having hit .191 in Cactus League play and going 1-for-7 in the first two games, including an uncharacteristic three-strikeout performance in an 0-for-4 outing Tuesday.
Bloomquist began his career with the Mariners from 2002-08, then played with the Royals, Reds and D-backs before returning to Seattle as a free agent. A career .271 hitter, he batted .302 and .317 for Arizona the past two seasons in 128 games.

Listening to various songs, Waiting for the Aliens comes up in which the singer wants to fly the aliens ship. I can identify with that. In my experience I never got off the ground. It was novel to be sure but still it's just sitting there in a clearing four blocks from home with the door open.
The Billy Meier contacts fascinated me when I first heard about them for a variety of reasons. I know a lot of people now think the whole thing was faked, but that's not my opinion. I think they started out with genuine contacts. I was particular impressed with the 8mm footage and the still shots of the beam ship around the tree (proving it wasn't done with a toy model), and also the shoots out of the ships windows of an alien planet.
Personally, I'd like a ride to an alien planet with the ability to take my digital camera and a couple dozen 2 gig memory cards. The ultimate in tourism. No probes though please.
We're arriving at a point where I'm wondering if we have any prayer of surviving our technology. Seeing the home planet of an alien civilization that has mastered interstellar travel might provide some clues. I wonder sometimes though if human beings just don't have the right stuff. Something in our evolutionary history perhaps predisposed us to violence and greed.
It's clear that catastrophic events have punctuated human evolution, some of them nearly driving us to extinction. I wonder if, in the aftermath of those events, it wasn't the violent who survived. Perhaps an alien civilization evolved without such periodic interruptions.
How would our immune systems would cope with native microbial life on other planets? I suspect that our biology is different enough that viruses probably wouldn't be a huge threat because our cellular machinery would not know how to decode their genetic instructions. Alien bacteria possessing it's own cellular machinery and only needing us as a food source might be a larger problem.
I don't really feel like I belong on this planet anyway. I'd rather be somewhere that people do things for some reason other than because everybody else is doing them. Any alien race with the ability to get here from another star system surely has a much more evolved civilization and culture than we.
So alien dudes come give me a ride to your home planet, let me take my digicam and take a bunch of photos and then bring me back so I can put them up on the blog here. That would make it killer!

On the road...
I hope everyone is having a great week. We're on our way to Green Bay for some Christmas cheer, although apparently without snow (very bummed about that). No posts until Monday or Tuesday, but I'll be keeping up on all the other great blogs out there on my Reader. Have fun this weekend!

Oh, Kerry, what a tease! I read your comment earlier today before stopping for the night and saw the Milwaukee forecast! I got excited and then looked at Green Bay. No such luck! This will be the first Christmas in GB that it won't be white! :(ReplyDelete
