ZZQ's Chris Fultz, left, and Alex Graf. (Photo by: Stephanie Breijo)
If you're already a devotee of ZZQ Texas Craft Barbecue, you know that its melt-in-your-mouth brisket, curls of cavatappi smothered in cheese and jalapeño, and forkfuls of tender blackstrap molasses collard greens all pair perfectly with crisp, cool sips of Ardent Craft Ales beer. If you haven't yet been inducted into the fatty, flavorful fold, now you know: The ZZQ and Ardent pairing is a match made in gustatory heaven, and it's why last year's monthly barbecue pop-up series was so successful that lines would form from the ZZQ tent all the way to the Ardent parking lot. Every time.
And so it's with great enthusiasm that we share this: Not only will ZZQ be popping up again this year at Ardent, ZZQ's husband-and-wife team will be bringing barbecue to the brewery every weekend until Thanksgiving, with a taste of what we can expect from ZZQ's forthcoming brick and mortar. Beginning April 30, every Saturday from noon until the food sells out, ZZQ will serve up at least three varieties of meat (and yes, the brisket will always be on the menu), plus sides. But here's where things get really fun: In the true spirit of Texas barbecue halls, and in a preview of what's to come, ZZQ will switch from à la carte meat pricing and small paper trays to charging by the pound and serving your food on butcher paper, complete with a slice or two of white bread and pickles.
"The first time I experienced that, we got a tray of food for the two of us and it's just a little bit of everything," ZZQ pitmistress Alex Graf says. "It was a really magical experience and I just think it underscores community; you could sit down and have three or four people eatin' off the same tray, and I love that."
"It's that kind of Central Texas meat market tradition that was just something that, while it's familiar to me, is unique here," adds pitmaster Chris Fultz, a native Texan. "I think that's part of what sets us apart, part of our brand."
The butcher paper and tray format is a classic one that's deeply rooted in Texas, and allows for wrapping up unfinished barbecue to-go — handy, now that ZZQ's new format allows you to order four pounds of pulled pork and brisket at a time, so you can bring it on home to
hoard and scarf down share with others. Accordingly, the format will also be present at ZZQ Texas Craft Barbecue's restaurant, which Fultz and Graf hope to launch in 2017.
Those by-the-pound meat prices will vary, as they'll adjust each week due to market cost, but sides will still be available for $2.50 each. And the ZZQ team will also be adding a few new menu items, to boot. You'll be able to find a new smoked, beef-based sausage made with pork fat and spices, and a few additional sausages further down the line — one a hot link, another possibly a cheddar and jalapeño flavor. When it comes to sides, you'll find butter beans crafted from Fultz's grandmother's recipe with a few tweaks, plus a new approach. "We've been thinking about the beans as a seasonal thing," Graf says. "You get your black-eyed peas during the winter, cowboy beans in the fall, and butter beans are your spring and summer bean dish. It's sort of more about that rotation and how does that change in the bigger picture instead of every week it's something different."
Due to the barbecue team's overwhelming pop-up and catering success, Fultz and Graf commissioned a custom-made, Texas-built, 3,500-pound smoker with a 16-foot smoking chamber — that's four times the amount of smoking capability afforded to ZZQ by Mabel, the original smoker with only a four-foot chamber. You can catch the unveiling of Max (short for Maxine), the new smoker, at The Veil Brewing Co.'s opening party on Saturday, April 16. From there, she'll make her way to weekly Ardent gigs until finding a permanent home at the ZZQ brick and mortar.
You can also catch ZZQ at noon on April 9 at Strangeways Brewing, and at 4 p.m. at Ardent Craft Ales' Swine & Brine event.

This is the book i am reading right now.
After few sleepless nights, I decided to find out why baby will wake up at night at scientific way. So this is the first book i am reading right now and folliowing are the key points and my thoughts.
1.讓你自己做好準備 ---yes, i am all prepared.
2.讓寶寶做好準備---i think we are all prepared.
3.培養睡前例行活動 ---before sleep bath, massage, story telling, lullarby music and milk feeding.
4.養成早睡的習慣---Usually we sleep at 9pm, now we are moving to 8pm.
5.保持有彈性又可預測得日常例行活動 --- oh yeh, we are very very routine right now.
6.讓寶寶在固定時間小睡 ---Hana usually sleeps 2 hours in the monring, 2 hours in the afternoon.
7.幫助寶寶學習在不需要協助的情況下入睡 ---mm, i need to work on that. Hana needs milk feeding and sleep on my body before i move her to bed.....how to break this link is my work, i think.
8.介紹一個"心愛寶貝"給寶寶 ---we buaght a first baby teddy for her, but i think she loves her little gray blanket more...so it can be her "心愛寶貝"
9.讓夜間睡覺和白天小睡有所不同 ....mm, Hana sleeps at 5F floor in the day time, 4F at night. I think it is the difference.
10.發展作為睡眠提示的關鍵字 ---I am thinking to use the song her father usually sing"HANA 睡覺 HANA 睡覺 HANA睡覺不要怕"~~to her at night
11.用音樂或聲音作為睡眠線索 ---The lullaby music her uncle get for her is playing everynight now. But because it played too much, the CD player was broken now...haha
12.改變寶寶的睡眠連結 ---This is very difficult. Cos she always need milk feeding for her to sleep. Hard to break this link.
13.幫助寶寶自己再入睡,並讓他回到自己的小床 ---same as above.
14.幫助寶寶在另一個人的協助下再度入睡---difficult too, she only want me to hold her before sleep. Perhaps i should let her father try once.
15.要有耐心 ---Oh yeh, tell me about it. I think I am full of patience now after i become a mother.
So, i think my weak points are following:
And i think they are all link to the same thing. I need to think how to get Hana sleep without feeding her and hold her on my chest.......But again, it's the way i get her sleep. Does it relate to why she wakes up many times at night? mm......
Ok, let's try this book first and see how it goes.....
Above is the summary i wrote at 7/27 at FACEBOOK.
After 2 weeks now, does Hana get better??
The answer is, YES, she is getting better but still need to wake up for milk at 23:30 and 3:30AM.(Before was 21:30, 22:30, 23:30, 0:30, 1:30, 3:30, 4:30 and then 6:30) Considering she didn't drink enough milk at day time. I decided to continue feed her at night during sleep.
Oh, well.....the thing is I've got used to wake up at these odd hours anyway.

In the Faulty Friday #4 post this week, a church sign depicts a common error. Often, we spell things the way they sound. As a result here, what should be "Congratulations" shows up as "Congradulations."
It pays to ask a friend or consult a dictionary if you are unsure about spelling!

Prabhupada Portrait
Price: $0.00
Portrait of a guru, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. He was a rasika acarya, an expert in relishing the mellows of pure devotion as taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Such capacity to relish hearing and chanting about Godhead's transcendental name, form, attributes, and pastimes is uncommon. For twelve years, beginning in 1965 until he disappeared from mortal vision in 1977, His Divine Grace circled the globe trans- planting what was thought by many to be an Indian religion onto foreign soil. He demonstrated practically that Gaudiya Vaisnavism is not a product of a particular culture, but the dharma of the soul. This painting was created for Govindaji Gardens ashram in South India.

Species: Spotted Hyena | Location: Kruger National Park, South Africa
I came across this small family of hyenas on my way home from Kruger National Park. It was around 6 am and they were relaxing right next to the road. The hyena in this photo was busy grooming herself after having made sure that her pups were fed.

I guess we can understand why Jason Kenney acts like Alberta has all the powers of a sovereign nation.
After all, the leader of the Opposition United Conservative Party was one of former prime minister Stephen Harper's chief henchmen in the Conservative government that ran the federation through the long decade the Alberta tail wagged the Canadian dog.
But what's Rachel Notley's excuse?
The New Democratic Party Premier of Alberta is a lawyer, and a smart one. She understands Canadian provinces don't have jurisdiction over interprovincial operations of "Canals, Telegraphs and other Works and Undertakings connecting the Province with any other …" Even if she didn't, the Alberta government's lawyers would tell her.
Any court would rule interprovincial pipelines in general and the controversial Trans Mountain Pipeline in particular fall into this constitutional catchall for obvious reasons. That question was settled in London in 1867, before Alberta was even a province.
So it seems clear Alberta would be far outside its constitutional envelope if it tried to interfere with the operation of a pipeline to prevent shipment of gasoline to British Columbia to punish that province's government for … ummmm … operating outside its constitutional jurisdiction in exactly the same way.
But Notley and Kenney seem to be in complete accord on this one point at least: If British Columbia unconstitutionally and illegally dares to try to interfere with what goes through a pipeline that passes through its territory, then Alberta can constitutionally and legally interfere with what goes through the same pipeline when it passes through its territory.
Specifically, they both suggest they could cut off supplies of gasoline that flow through the existing Trans Mountain Pipeline to Vancouver if B.C. tries to restrict the volume of diluted bitumen that can go through it, or slow down the current controversial Kinder Morgan Inc. line expansion mega-project that was approved by the National Energy Board last year.
What's wrong with this picture? Constitutionally, that is.
Well, it's far enough off base that, were this not the Age of Trump, we'd just laugh it off. But the American Caligula seems to think he can just make up the law as he goes along, and that idea appears to be contagious.
Andrew Leach, the University of Alberta economics and business professor, was wonkishly tweeting about this on Friday. His commentary, while technical, is illuminating.
His bottom line: "… there isn't a space for AB gov intervention, provincial shipping permits on TM are not a thing which exists and so cannot be revoked, etc."
I believe Dr. Leach is right about this, notwithstanding all the sound and fury his Tweets generated.
Furthermore, Leach said, the bottom line of the bottom line is this:
"Finally, and this is important: if you believe that @RachelNotley or @jkenney can restrict flows on the pipeline, so can @jjhorgan. And @PremierScottMoe. It's open season on NEB pipelines and Alberta loses." This is obviously true.
By the way, when premier Peter Lougheed restricted exports of natural gas from Alberta during his fight with prime minister Pierre Trudeau over the National Energy Program in the 1980s, he did it by reducing total gas exports, within Alberta's jurisdiction, not by somehow cutting off certain products in an existing pipeline under Ottawa's jurisdiction.
Then there is the matter of trade agreements, domestic and international, that govern trading relationships among jurisdictions.
I have always held the cynical view such deals are essentially "corporate rights agreements," designed to privilege the rights of corporate persons over us natural humans.
But speaking of U.S. President Donald Trump, who seems determined to upset the trade agreement applecart, New York Times economics columnist Paul Krugman articulated an alternative interpretation of their purpose Thursday that is directly applicable to the threats emanating from Alberta these days.
"There's a reason we have international trade agreements, and it's not to protect us from unfair practices by other countries," wrote Krugman, who once won the Nobel Prize for Economics. "The real goal, instead, is to protect us from ourselves."
That is, he argued, they don't only make us play by the rules, they restrict the ability of special interests with access to political decision-makers to influence policy to the detriment of other job-creators. In other words, "to limit the special-interest politics and outright corruption that used to reign in trade policy."
Either way, it is not an inconsequential matter that what is proposed by Alberta, and what has been done in the case of the notorious two-week B.C. wine embargo, clearly violates internal trade agreements, and possibly international ones as well.
We can count on it, moreover, that corporations that use pipelines to ship their products will assert their rights under such agreements if provinces violate them to fight intramural trade wars. As a commenter in this space observed recently, how do you think corporations will react if government tries to tell them to whom they can sell their products? This is something both Notley and Kenney also understand, and a state of affairs Kenney has worked tirelessly to encourage, moreover.
None of this is good for the country, it goes without saying. If provinces can interfere with essential supplies to another region because of trade disputes and Ottawa sits on its hands, the argument for being maîtres chez nous will grow stronger.
This is not just true in British Columbia, but in Quebec as well, where a new generation of separatists is no doubt watching with intense interest.
While B.C. seems to have a weak constitutional case for blocking shipments of bitumen from Alberta by using its partial jurisdiction over environmental matters, it seems quite possible Alberta has an even weaker one for embargoing gasoline to B.C. through a pipeline over which it has no jurisdiction at all. This is true whether the threat is made by the NDP or the UCP.
This fight can be resolved by recourse to the courts, or by the federal government. It won't be resolved by belligerent threats by Alberta politicians.
As for the pipeline posturing by all parties in the Alberta Legislature, I'm no constitutional lawyer, so I might be mistaken. But I was an agriculture reporter for many years, so I do recognize the smell of manure.
I'll bet B.C. Premier John Horgan does too.

Re: Assignment Help
I have used the assignment help service from TFTH where I got intense help in doing my assignment. While I was busy in my brother marriage I got to know I have to submit my assignment due next day.

Hey everyone! We're working on ramping up new content for Paleblue.blog, and part of that effort will be live-blogging about episodes from the new series Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey. I'll try to give my thoughts and – when I have them – insights to the astrobiology community that has led to some of the discoveries the show discusses.
9:01 I love the intro, with a very clear nod to Sagan and the original series. Also, the graphics package looks unbelievable. That's one of the things I'm really looking forward to here.
9:02 There's definitely a "hipstimatic" feel to a lot of this right now. Again, I think this is about connecting the past to the future. (For those that want to see the original series the show and I are referencing, you can watch episodes on Hulu and Netflix… and probably from your local library.)
9:03 Who do I write to get permission to use the graphics from the intro credits in a future talk? No, I'm not joking…
9:04 The "ship of the imagination" is what Sagan used to travel through time and space as well. This is a direct reboot.
9:05 Hey look – science! It comes with pictures of "Earth 250 million years ago…" and "… 250 million years from now." Excellent renditions of how plate tectonics has moved the continents around, and continues to do so today.
9:07 We're touring the SS now… Were those some nice real images from NASA missions sprinkled in?
9:08 – The images of Jupiter's clouds are simply stunning. (I wish I could give y'all a screencap). And yes Saturn's rings are made of lots and lots and lots and lots of tiny moons.
9:10 That record on Voyager is real.
9:13 You can follow @NASA for some of the actual pictures that the eye candy in the show is based on…
9:13 "The Oort cloud." Note that it's a sphere around the system… not just another ring of things on the same plane.
9:15 Rogue planets: yes, they're a thing. (We think. Well, we're pretty pretty darn sure.)
9:17 @neiltyson now doing the zoom-out to give perspective thing. Always shockingly impressive, isn't it?
9:18 @neiltyson with echoes of Sagain again, talking about all of us on the small speck of dust that is Earth. #palebluedot #cosmos
9:21 When we return from the commercial break, we'll see one of the best things in #Cosmos: some great science history.
9:23 One of my brilliant colleagues, Aki Roberge, just posted that she thinks they did an artists' rendering of something from a paper of hers back in 2006. These folks did their homework…
9:24 Bruno was a religions, stubborn, and determined man. We're seeing that here. #cosmos
9:26 Perhaps the tweet of the night, right here:
@ Arcturus, a bright star 34 light-yrs fro Earth, #CarllSagan's orig. 1980 #Cosmos is JUST NOW ARRIVING @CosmosonTV @SPACEdotcom
— tariqjmalik (@tariqjmalik) March 10, 2014
9:27 Glad to see the tradition of the history of science, and the struggle of scientists against fundamentalists being carried on here.
9:37 hey look! I figured out how to get some images into this post… check it out:
Story behind image in Giordono Bruno story on #COSMOS http://t.co/AT40d9ACUO … #NASASXSW #SXSW pic.twitter.com/yuSqJySRBT pic.twitter.com/IqEq4VFDwW
— Astrobiology (@astrobiology) March 10, 2014
9:39 More info/imagery on the night-side images of Earth.
such a beauty RT @NASA_EO: Some background on the Earth at Night imagery seen on #Cosmos. http://t.co/ZXsI8IbNRn pic.twitter.com/dQDqhpm0al
— NASA Goddard Images (@NASAGoddardPix) March 10, 2014
9:43 Insights on Bruno from PaleBlue.blog'er David Grinspoon:
Actually Bruno was put to death more for belief in the occult, satanism, etc. His (non evidence based) vision of cosmos was not so crucial.
— David Grinspoon (@DrFunkySpoon) March 10, 2014
9:44 "We. Are. Starstuff." One of the classic quotes from the original series.
9:46 "boom goes the planetary dynamite." … and that's the story of how the Moon formed. #cosmos
9:47 When Sagan did the original #cosmos some scientists thought we would have figured out the Origin of Life by now. It's still a deep mystery.
9:48 By the way, there's some great video of the original series here, autotuned. ITS AUTOTUNED GUYS. http://symphonyofscience.com/
9:52 By the way, (Twice in a row? Really, Shawn?) these ads you see from government contractors aren't just fluff. A LOT of the work @NASA does is with these private partners.
9:56 It's Sagan! I don't think his effect on a whole generation of scientists can be understated #cosmos
9:59 That personal story from @neiltyson on #CarlSagan is how a generation of planetary scientists/astronomers feel, though we never met him.
10:00 Whew! That was the quickest hour I've had in a while. Fantastic job by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Seth McFarlane, and the crew. And a thank you to the generations of scientists, engineers, and philosophers that have made this all possible. Carl Sagan, first and foremost amongst them… for tonight.
10:01 Lots of people out there are concerned this didn't go deep enough and went to fast. Relax. This was essentially "the preview episode." They went over everything today…. very quickly. Hopefully they'll go back and dive into this stuff in more detail going forward.
10:02 I'll leave you all with a tweet from Neil:
The good thing about Science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.

5 ways to incorporate play into your busy adult life
Being an adult is something we all dreamed of as kids. Now, however, we long for the days where we could spend our afternoons coloring and playing outside.
Luckily for us, some of our favorite childhood activities may have mental and physical health benefits for adults.
Child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Alan Schlecter tells Mashable that many of our favorite childhood hobbies involve flow.
"Flow [is] that state where time moves more quickly, and you become absorbed with the process," Dr. Schlecter explains. "The brain is put into a very special gear when we enter flow, its similar to the effects of meditation, people become mindful, it fills us with positive emotions afterwards."
Dr. Schlecter notes that when we become involved in flow, we allow ourselves to become distracted from the crowded thoughts in our mind.
"The big response would be that play is essential of development, and our need for play doesn't stop when we turn 18," Dr. Schlecter adds.
Here are a few of your favorite childhood activities that can promote your mental and physical health as an adult.
1. Coloring
Make no mistake, coloring as an adult is the latest trend in adult flow. The influx of coloring books in department stores around the nation make it easy for adults to begin coloring once again.
Coloring, like art therapy, can help adults to cope with the daily stresses of life through the act of mindfulness — an active, open attention to the present. This allows us to turn off our other unwanted thoughts and focus on the present moment, thus temporarily de-stressing your life.
2. Arts & Crafts
Sorority girls and girl scouts already know the joys that come with completing a handmade craft.
Making unicorn hoodies, glitter glasses and dozens of other DIY projects also promote flow and mindfulness, both essential to lowering stress levels in adult life.
3. Sports
Just because you're an adult doesn't mean you can't participate in intramural sports. Join your company's biweekly soccer league, or look into a local ultimate frisbee league to reignite your passion for physical activity.
According to the CDC, physical activity can reduce your risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some cancers. It can also improve your mental health and overall mood.
4. Board games
Flow can also appear during a friendly game of Scrabble — or a not so friendly game of RISK. The intense focus on the game itself can distract you from your overwhelming life stresses.
A one hour game can act as a therapeutic decompression as you become absorbed in defeating your opponent.
Live action role playing, aka LARP, first began in the 1970s and has since gained in popularity thanks to the rise in fantasy centered video games. The beauty of LARP games as an adult is that they allow you to lose yourself in the character you are channeling. You somehow magically forget the impending student loan bills and work-related projects, at least for the time being.
LARP allows you to express your imagination while experiencing mindfulness at the same time, thus promoting mental health one role play at a time.

Additionally it is one of the highest viewed websites. YouTube is easily the most trafficked site for videos, and the second most for searches. Don't underestimate it!
Create a video showing how others should utilize your product. By demonstrating a hard product, you can expect to solve existing problems and also prevent others. Customers will see the application of your merchandise and also be more likely to purchase it.
Provide quality content. It ought to be entertaining and/or newsworthy. A video hosting site can increase viewers for your personal video, but an uninteresting video will defeat the purpose. Something that provides great information or entertainment is most beneficial. You can continually enhance your traffic by always providing interesting videos.
Try and get co-workers or another employees enthusiastic about creating videos. Find a person who seems to be comfortable in front of a camera, smiles a lot, dresses well and talks clearly. If possible, you may mix things up a bit by featuring multiple individuals.

Eight for Aduba-3: The Saga of the Starhoppers was a holo-doc made by Tri-Nebula Entertainment on the events surrounding Han Solo's successful defense of the Onacra village on Aduba-3.
The holo-doc was their third feature on Han Solo and proved to be a moderate hit.
The Rebel Alliance historian Voren Na'al felt the holo-doc was so successful that the people of Aduba-3 had begun to believe it was totally factual. He felt this hindered his own efforts to uncover the actual events that took place there.

Beginning March 1 of 2010, there will be a new paradigm shift in data security requirements for many online businesses. This is because the Massachusetts legislature has enacted the strictest, and most far-reaching data security regulations for any person or business that owns or licenses "personal information" of a Massachusetts resident. Even California business owners should pay close attention to the data security laws of other states, because as your business grows and it begins to operate on a nation-wide or even world-wide level, the laws of far-away jurisdictions can apply to your operations.
Your online business must comply with both federal privacy laws and the privacy laws of any given state if you have come to possess, own, or license the "personal information" of any resident of that state. Complying with federal law is comparatively simple in that the law is uniform across the nation. The general rule of thumb for complying with federal privacy law is that you better uphold those promises and obligations in your online Privacy Policy. See 15 USC § 45a.
Complying with state law, by contrast, can be mind-numbingly confusing because your nation-wide online business must comply with 50 separate statutory schemes. The easiest solution for many businesses is to identify the state with the strictest privacy laws, and make sure to abide by those laws. Beginning March 1, 2010, that state will be Massachusetts when 201 CMR 17.00 goes into effect.
Many states, including California, require that you post a privacy policy and comply with it, and that your business discloses a breach in security if that occurs. Nevada takes a slightly stricter approach insofar as your business must have certain encryption procedures for the transmission of personal information of Nevada residents. See NRS 597.970. Massachusetts has far surpassed Nevada insofar as your business must comply with detailed and comprehensive data security requirements including, but not limited to, 1) comprehensive data security systems with encryption and restricted access, 2) comprehensive monitoring and maintenance protocols of these systems; and 3) comprehensive employment policies and procedures relating to data security.
The Law Offices of Aaron J. Stewart can help your online business develop and implement a privacy policy that protects you and your customers, and complies with all applicable laws and regulations! Please contact us for more information at email@example.com for more information.

Tribeca Film Festival Review: Knuckleball!
photo by Charles Miller
The knuckleball pitch has been present in Major League Baseball since 1907, and yet it's been championed by only an historic handful. Now over a century old, the spin-less baseball's legacy rests in the fate of one current pitcher, New York Mets hurler R.A. Dickey, the last remaining major league player to contain it in his arsenal.
This is one of the storylines that floats and drops and teases in Knuckleball!, a documentary about the historically baffling pitch that a only a select few have mastered on the mound. Directors Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg (Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work) team up again for this, at times historical, at times emotional, story that examines an often unnoticed pitch, unless of course you're in the batter's box.
Our main subjects of focus are former Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield and the abovementioned R.A. Dickey, chronicling them during the 2011 season. This year carries some special importance because Wakefield is closing in on 200 career wins, and an eventual retirement, while Dickey starts his first year with New York, a two-year contract that has for the first time in his life presented him some residential stability. We cut between both their stories month by month, pitch by pitch, and come to realize their extreme minority complex within a world of radar gun fastballs and speed happy scouts.
Swerving between these narratives are archival tidbits, memories, and anecdotes about throwing and facing the legendary "frozen" baseball. Leading the talking head campaign of the film are former knucklers Jim Bouton, Charlie Hough, and Phil Niekro, now all old and gray but still with sharp visions of years past, the highs and lows of the most unpredictable pitch in the game. It dives, ducks, tails, and has been alternately described as a "Wiffleball in a wind tunnel." Contrast the throwers with the hitters, and they're even less prepared for it, as witnessed by the numerous silly swings montaged together.
In a gathered setting the knucklers circle bonfire style and recount situations and hitters. Dickey says with the game on the line he'd rather face the leviathan sluggers than the pesky "slappers" and hope they swing out of their shoes. Maybe tougher is a catcher's job. Josh Thole of the Mets and the Red Sox's Doug Mirabelli recall their war wounds and chest protector skid marks, trying to pop the glove at the right time. "How do you catch a knuckleball?" Bob Eucker was once questioned. "Wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up."
Unlike most athletes, Wakefield and Dickey only have a few references to turn to for improving their game. Dickey jokes that his pitching coach will come to the mound to talk to him and not have a clue what to say except for him to "throw that good one." It's a pitch where turning to mentors is the only way to get better, but they have to be the right ones. In one, somewhat contrived, scene, Dickey reviews some film with Hough in a private workout facility. The take-away is that Dickey is just only beginning to enter his golden age of knuckle-balling at 37. Far less taxing on the arm, the pitch let Hough retire at 46 and Niekro at 48. Only a knuckleballer could do that, unless of course you're Jamie Moyer.
Scheduled to make $4.5 million from the Mets this year, Dickey began his career as a hardballer from the University of Tennessee. He got drafted #18 by the Texas Rangers with a signing bonus of $810,000, but an obscurity in Dickey's arm forced the Rangers to re-evaluate. Dickey was missing his ulnar collateral ligament, and the Rangers squeamishly re-bargained for $75,000. He accepted, and what followed was a series of team changes and transitions, all the while trying to perfect the knuckleball. Wakefield had better success, but he first had to realize he wasn't going to join his first team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, as a slugging first baseman. After some rough patches, the Red Sox took a flier on him, and it paid off.
To say the career of a knuckleballer is fragile though would be an understatement. The outcome of every pitch is completely unpredictable when it leaves the fingertips. "It's going to do what it feels like doing and you don't know what that's going to be," says Wakefield. Yankee fans know that best, especially when you mention Aaron Boone in a sentence. Dickey's troubles however lie in his fingernails. A chipped nail may as well be a torn ACL for him, because the pitch isn't thrown with his knuckles, but with his finely manicured carotene.
The film is special mainly because it is an art largely unknown, and untold until now. There is a method to the madness, and like unearthing Joan River's philosophy of comedy, Wakefield and Dickey uncover the oftentimes-alienating facets of throwing the pitch. That's why both pitchers keep referring to their select group of knucklers as a fraternity, a closed group of people who realize the capricious nature of a baseball once it heads for home plate.
Wakefield's concluding retirement speech puts the onus and future of the pitch in Dickey's fingernails. After witnessing the tumultuous, incalculable job of a starting knuckleball pitcher, this must feel burdensome. Then again, it's a knuckleball. You never know what could happen.

Well that was a beautifully crafted nightmare (and I wouldn't have it any other way). Seriously though, I'm so glad they didn't "K-dramatize" this web-toon adaptation. I was worried from the light n' frothy faux-angst the previews made the show out to be. Don't get me wrong, such shows are certainly in my wheelhouse, but if TV shows were a meal then I shan't be only consuming sweets and soju for all my nourishment needs. Diabetes runs in my family y'all*
Instead this show represents a lovely steak. One that is so rich you must chew carefully and fully embrace the textured flavors….(Sorry not sorry to all those vegetarians out there). Okay enough food metaphors (especially since I literally had almonds mixed with yogurt for for dinner).
Let's get down and dirty into the life of a newbie corporate drone!
I was pretty much instantly taken with Geu Rae (Im Shi-wan), his plight, and the path in which he will grow (hopefully). Perhaps this was because I had already watched the prequel short starring Shi-Wan (which surely helped him snag the role), and something about his portrayal (the earnest sad-sack) I instantly connected with.
Not to be outdone Kang So-Ra's Young Yi was a much welcome and needed K-Drama heroine. Self-assured, intelligent, and employed?!? I dig it. Besides the previously stated adjectives she also seems a fascinating complex character in a drama chalk full of them.
I feel I just barely scratched the surfaced as to why I think this drama is so special and has the potential to be one of the greats this year. Besides the acting, this slice-of-life drama strives for realism in way that can be painful for the audience. I feel this may turn some people off, but just caused me to be subconsciously nodding my head with how much truth and relatability the aspects of office life seemed.
From the mise en scene within each frame to the grey palette and office politics, this universe is simultaneously buzzing, stressful, and a little sad.
Much of this should be attributed to the direction, where in the hands of a typical drama director, would just not have stuck the appropriate tone for me. Throughout the first two episodes (and especially during the 90 minute pilot) I had to remind myself I wasn't watching an independent film. I could blather on about the show's use of space within a scene or it's minimalistic use of background music but me thinks I'll save that for future show discussions.
Quick Hits:
– I knew I was all in for this show when it literally became a movie length episode, but I never noticed as time apparently became a flat circle upon watching.
-Forgot to mention my favorite ahjussi Lee Sung Min, whom I've loved in everything from workplace drama Pasta to his lovely turn as King of Korea in King 2 Hearts. Episode 2 of this drama just proved my love for him and that his character will pay off major dividends.
-Also this show has to be in a top 5 list somewhere for most competent use of foreign languages. Especially So-Ah, who nailed not only the English but the acting whilst speaking English (which is hard to do even if you are fluent in English speak. Just watch Jung Ryeo Won in Sam-Soon.) As someone who hate watched around 5 episodes of Doctor Stranger, I'm glad she's given a more substantive and sane role that should match her star making turn in Sunny.
-The beginning bit in Jordan was epic, and severely reminded me of a similar chase scene (though it took place in Tangier) from The Bourne Ultimatum. Can't wait to find out how timid Geu-Rie turns into Jason Bourne.
-Lest I forget all the Baduk which first percolated my interest in the drama way back in the Spring. Like the sprinkling of it during VO's and flashbacks. Hope it only becomes more integrated into his thought process in future episodes.
-Any question as to who the "bad guys" are in 21st century pop culture? Always look for the one with the
death sticks cigarettes in hand. Notice in this scene they never actually show Baek-Ki (Kang Haneul) smoking, though he is certainly about to light up. Interrrresting.
-Thanks for sticking with this review, which was a lot more drab and plain than is per usual.(Hmmm seems familiar) Because of my crazy hours I've stepped back from the blog for a while, but through my own office job have been writing more then ever. Please excuse the lack of creativity as I adjust writing styles. But fear not! I shall hopefully regain my weird-ass approach to reviews in no-time, and as always will edit as little as possible because I am lazy like that. *Begins to think I'm not working hard enough* Oye. Well thanks show for now causing me to question everything work related. See you all after my next existential crisis!

Moving to an EMR will ensure you boost quality of care and catch errors before they cost you money.
Converting from paper records to an electronic medical record system (EMR) is a huge effort and may leave you wondering whether making the change is really worth it. Check out these five reasons why experts urge you to take the 'electronic' way.
Boost for Quality of Care
Electronic systems often provide access to a database of national outcomes data from users of the same software – which is essential for measuring and improving your care.
One more advantage is that many of the systems will connect you to research the best practices for treating certain diagnoses. Therefore an EMR can really help drive evidence-based practice. Electronic systems can also help standardize your care. For instance, if your practice sees the same diagnoses quite often, you could bill shells for certain…

Martyrdom of Imam Ali (peace be upon him)
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) was assassinated in Kufa by the most evil of Allah's creation; Abdurrahman bin Muljim, a Khariji, on the twenty first of Ramadan year 40 A.H.; of an age of 63 years that were spent in serving Allah's cause upholding justice, and establishing God's rule on earth.
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) was assassinated in Kufa by the most evil of Allah's creation; Abdurrahman bin Muljim, a Khariji, on the twenty first of Ramadan year 40 A.H.; of an age of 63 years that were spent in serving Allah's cause upholding justice, and establishing God's rule on earth.
The Imam's (peace be upon him) Fatal Hours
At about sunset on the eve of Ramadan 20, year 40 A.H. Ume Kulthoum the Imam's(peace be upon him) daughter brought him his breakfast meal that consisted of two loaves of bread and a bowl of yoghurt, in addition to some salt. When the Imam finished his prayer, he sat down to eat. But when he saw the food, he shook his head and wept saying "I don't think that a daughter has ever hurt her father as you hurt me now".
Confused, Ume Kulthoum asked her father; "But what did I do?" "How could you offer me two kinds of food in one meal? Do you want to elongate the time I stand before Allah on the Day of Judgment. My brother and cousin, Muhammad (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), the Messenger of Allah has never eaten two kinds of food in all his life. O my daughter, all those who eat delicious food or dress fine clothes will stand for a longer time before Allah, the most exalted, at the Day of Judgment. I swear by Allah that I will not eat anything before you remove one of the two".
After she obliged, he ate one loaf only with some salt. He then thanked God, and went back to praying. He prayed many prostrations and recited many invocations. And he used to look every now and then towards the sky, looking quite worried and restless. Then he went on to recite the, "Yassin" Surah.
When he finished it, he fell asleep for a while only to wake up in a state of shock. He stood up and said, "May Allah blesses our meeting with Him" and repeated many times the invocations of "There is no strength or ability except in Allah the Most High, the Supreme."
The Crime and the Winning of Martyrdom
At dawn, when it was time to call for the Morning Prayer, he performed ablution and went down to the yard. The geese that were kept there began to scream for the first time since they were given as a present to Imam Hussein (peace be upon him).
Noticing this, the Imam (peace be upon him) said, "These screams will be followed by cries". Yet once again when he reached the door he could not open it, and it caught his gown, but he pulled it out and said, "O God bless my death. O God bless this opportunity of meeting you".
The Imam (peace be upon him) then walked to the mosque, whose lights were out. There were three other men inside: The damned Ibn Muljim who killed the Imam, Shabib bin Buhairah and Wazdan bin Mujalik. The Imam (peace be upon him) called for the prayer, and went down, reciting invocations and praising God. He then went to his niche and began to pray. Ibn Muljim knew that this was his chance. He stood behind the Imam (peace be upon him) and waited until the Imam (peace be upon him) prostrated and raised his head and hit him hard on it.
The Imam (peace be upon him) fell on his face. Yet he did not moan; instead he said; "In the name of Allah, and on the religion of His Messenger". Then he shouted at the murderer saying:" I have won by the Lord of Ka'ba. I have won by the Lord of Ka'ba.
People started to gather around the Imam (peace be upon him) who kept on trying to press on the wound and covering it with sand. Then he recited the following verse: "From the earth we have created you, and to the earth we shall restore you; and from it we will bring back (to life)" (Taha: 55).
Merciful even on His Assassin
By the time some of the Imam (peace be upon him)'s followers arrested Ibn Muljim and brought him to the Amir. Al-Hassan (peace be upon him.) addressed his father saying; "We have brought in your enemy and the enemy of Allah". The Commander of the Faithful opened his eyes and saw Ibn Muljim whose hands were tied and whose sword was lying over his neck, and said in a faint but merciful voice: "You have committed a grave wrong. Have I not been a good Imam, to deserve such a penalty"?
Then he addressed his son Al-Hassan (peace be upon him); "Have mercy on your prisoner, my son, and treat him with pity and sympathy, Can't you see that he is trembling with fear and panic". In response Al-Hassan (peace be upon him) said, "This damned murderer has killed you and you want us to have mercy on him?" "Yes" said Imam Ali (peace be upon him) "We are the members of a house of whom any wrong committed against them, will only make them more generous, tolerant and forgiving.
Mercy and kindness are our traits and not his. I want you to feed him from your food and give him a drink from your water. Don't tie his hands or his feet. And if I die then execute a just judgment by killing him with one blow only. And don't mutilate his body for I heard your grandfather say; "Don't mutilate even with the body of a rabid dog". And if I live, then I would know what to do with him, and I am rather entitled to pardon him".
The Murderer and His Motives
But who is Abdurrahman bin Muljim Al-Muradi? And why did he kill Imam Ali (peace be upon him)?
He is a Yemeni who was sent by the Wali of Yemen with ten others to pledge loyalty to the Imam (peace be upon him). But he stayed on in Kufa. When Imam Ali (peace be upon him) prepared his army to fight in the conquest of Nahrawan, he went with the army and fought bravely. On the way back, he asked the Imam (peace be upon him) to go ahead of the troops, and announce the good news to the people of Kufa.
The Imam (peace be upon him) granted him the permission and the man went to Kufa and started to walk down its roads telling everybody about the decisive victory. When he passed by the Tamim quarters, a woman called Fataam bint Souqainah Bint Aouf, who was famous for her beauty, heard him. She asked him to come in for a while so that she could inquire about her family. Now Fatima's people were Kharijis of whom the Imam (peace be upon him) had killed so many people in this war including her father, her brother and her uncle.
When Fatima heard this news she began to cry and mourn. Then she had this offer for him: "Isn't there anybody who can avenge my family and wipe out my disgrace? I would give him my money and my beauty". Ibn Muljim felt sorry for her and asked her to marry him so that he would take her revenge.
Hearing this, she made it clear that her condition for marrying him is the death of Ali bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him): "If you desire this wealth and beauty, I see no reason that would prevent you from killing Ali bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him). You are not better or more pious than those who used to devote themselves to praying and fasting.
But when they saw that he has turned to kill Muslims with no just cause, they fought against him and this led them to be unjustly killed by the Imam (peace be upon him)". Ibn Muljim said; "You have undermined my faith and made doubt penetrate into the inside of my heart".
Thus, he became one of the Kharijis who believed that it was their duty to kill Ali (peace be upon him), Mua"wiyah and Amr Bin AI-Ass to enable the people to choose a new Imam and end the strife. He agreed with two other Kharijis (Turk Bin Abdullah Al-Tamimi and Abdallah Bin Uthman Al-Anbari) that they would kill all three of them, but the other two failed and only Ibn Muljim was successful in killing the Imam(peace be upon him) in the manner we explained earlier.

Salmon and Brown Rice
Although most of us wouldn't consider salmon a comfort food, it's certainly one of the most nutritionally beneficial foods available. Experts agree that the numerous vitamins and minerals present in salmon qualify the fish as a superfood; furthermore, they recommend that everyone strive to consume two or three servings of salmon or other fish per week.
Multiple studies have linked depression to imbalances in omega-3 fatty acids, found abundantly in fish [source: Melone]. Scientists believe omega-3s are responsible for managing brain signals that regulate mood. In fact, studies have revealed that people in cultures who consume more omega-3 rich fatty fish suffer from depression less frequently than populations that eat fewer servings of fish. Because omega-3 can't be produced by the body, it's critical to incorporate fish, eggs or cod liver oil into your diet [source: China Daily]. Brown rice is an ideal dish to serve with salmon because it contains high amounts of selenium, low levels of which have been linked to poor moods [source: Magee].

Apartment Rent Growth Loses Momentum, Leasing Remains Healthy
- By
- Jul 06, 2012
Average apartment rents across the United States grew 1.2 percent in the second quarter and 4 percent from mid-2011 to mid-2012, down a bit from the end of last year, when the fourth-quarter growth rate was 4.8 percent, according to MPF Research.
Greg Willett, vice president of MPF Research, the Carrollton, Texas-based market intelligence division of RealPage Inc., cited concerns over the sluggish job market and decisions by some apartment owners and operators to keep rents steady as a way to compete with new properties expected to be ready for leasing soon.
"While rent growth remains well above the long-term norm, there's no question that pricing momentum now isn't quite where it was a few months ago," Willett said. "For many owners and operators, the soft patch seen in job production has raised concerns that apartment demand could prove sluggish during the last half of the year. At the same time, initial leasing will begin during the next few months on quite a few new properties that are on the way. The typical operational strategy calls for filling product now, even if it means holding back a bit on the rent increases that were targeted earlier."
Boosted by tech sector jobs, San Francisco and San Jose, Calif., are still seeing double-digit rent increases, in many cases more than twice the average rent increases seen in other U.S. cities. From second-quarter 2011 to mid-year 2012, the average rent rose 12.6 percent in San Francisco and 10.3 percent in San Jose, according to MPF Research. Charlotte, N.C., was the third highest rent growth leader with a year to year growth rate of 6.8 percent. From mid-2011 to mid-2012, rents rose 6 to 6.3 percent in Oakland, Calif.; Boston; Austin, Texas, and New York. Rounding out the top 10 list was Denver-Boulder with 5.7 percent growth, Raleigh-Durham with 5.4 percent growth and Hartford, Conn., with 5 percent.
Marcus & Millichap's 2012 National Apartment Index also places San Francisco and San Jose atop its list but has San Jose taking the top spot above San Francisco, although rent growth is only one factor in its index which looks at several forward-looking economic and supply and demand variables. Those cities, followed by New York, Boston, and Orange County, Calif., rounded out Marcus & Millichap's NAI Index because they are expected to "post continued employment growth and effective rent growth in 2012."
The MPF Research second-quarter report also found that the national average occupancy was 95.2 percent, up from 94.9 percent in the first quarter and 94.4 percent in mid-2011. Those numbers are all up significantly from a 92 percent occupancy rate in late 2009.
Across the country's 100 largest metro areas, second-quarter demand was at 51,400 units, surpassing the completions that were held to 19,000 units, according to MPF Research. Year to year demand was for 169,500 units, more than double the 68,100 units that were delivered.
"While demand has cooled somewhat from the especially strong levels seen in 2010 and 2011, the current pace of leasing activity is still healthy," Willett said.
That's good news for the middle-market properties because they are also seeing the new activity that would have gone to the top-tier units if they had space available, he added. Many communities "are starved for additional inventory," Willett noted, but developers are scrambling to get more apartments quickly ready after record low housing starts during the recession.
Overbuilding isn't expected to become too big of a problem because of the general lack of supply. Willett said if it occurs, it would likely be on a spot basis. He said metro Washington, D.C., could be an area to watch for potential multi-family overbuilding because job growth isn't as strong there as in other places, such as Texas.
"While some of the some of the biggest increases in construction are seen in the Texas markets, those areas also are the country's job growth leaders," Willett said. "The stocks on the way in the Lone Star state do look absorbable."

I have now written 424 pages with 132,529 words in total for the first three parts of my science-fiction novel, Sensory Overload. According to my outline, I now have seven chapters to finish, plus an epilogue. My New Years Resolution for 2013 is to write at least five new chapters of the final Part IV by the end of the year. Since I average a little over two months per chapter if I stick to my regime of 2 new pages a week, it should be no problem.
Update: 4/3/13
I have finished the rough draft for Chapter 21. This one took three months because it ended up being 10 pages longer than my usual length. Writing this chapter helped me fill out deeper outlines for my next two chapters and also sparked me to rethink the future story-line after that. I decided to change a major plot-point and throw out my outline for Chapter 24 and replace it with a completely new story idea. The basic outlines for the final chapters survived, but needed some major revising to absorb the changes. I think it will be much better now.
Update: 7/3/13
Another long chapter, but I have finished writing Chapter 22. This chapter ended up being pretty straightforward and easy to write due to my earlier outline work, but I am still behind schedule. Unless the next three chapters are all well under 20 pages, I doubt that I will complete my New Years Resolution for 2013.
As I write the last part of my novel, I've looked back at the evolution of my writing process. For the first few chapters, I hand-wrote them in a notepad before transcribing them into Microsoft Word. Even after I learned to type fast enough to write creatively on a computer, I would still need to print out the completed pages to edit them with a pen and a crossword puzzle dictionary. Now I do everything on the computer, outlining, writing and editing. Even when I send chapters to my friends for review, it tends to be on their Kindle or Nook.
Update: 9/26/13
After writing two long chapters in a row, Chapter 23 is back to a reasonable length. I should have time to complete at least one more chapter before the new year begins. Halfway through 23, I decided that it will end up switching its location with Chapter 22. Since the timelines overlap in these last three chapters, the events in 23 will end up being anti-climatic after 22. Switching them will now prolong the mystery of what occurred at the end of 21. I now need to edit all three to make sure they are cohesive.
Update: 3/3/14
Helping to plan my wedding in January put me behind schedule in writing Chapter 24. Before I was halfway finished with the new chapter, Tori read the first three chapters of Part IV and had a problem with the major event that happens at the end of Chapter 21. At first I didn't agree with her critique, but she convinced me to think it over. After long debates in my head, I finally have a rough plan on how I can revise the troublesome plot-point and adjust the events in the 22 and 23 to fit. It will be tough to pull off but I think Tori has pushed me to improve my story. I will abandon 24 until I finish revising the three previous chapters.
Update: 8/1/14
Even though I had a revision outline, I was daunted by the task and distracted with our preparations for Burning Man at the end of the summer. I finished re-writing Chapter 21 yesterday and I think it is much improved. I know I will be obsessed with editing my Burning Man photos after the event so I hope I can finish revising 22 and 23 before the end of the year as well.
Update: 3/17/15
Slow as usual but I finally finished rewriting Chapters 22 and 23. I am looking forward to getting back to Chapter 24 that I started over a year ago. Including the 10 pages I moved into it from previous chapters, I have 22 pages that I will have to rewrite before I can start on new material.
Update: 7/27/17
That was a long layoff but I finally put my nose back to the grindstone and finished Chapter 24. At 27 pages, it ended up being another long chapter but I am happy that I am finally back on track writing new material. I have two trips to Los Angeles and Amsterdam planned for August and September so I hope I am not delayed too long with more photo editing.

Passively Delivering More for Less with SAP
Posted by Daniel Killeen in energy-psa.co.uk - News on 24 February, 2011
Capital cost savings of almost £800/dwelling can be achieved and still attain at least Level 3 under the Code for Sustainable Homes by utilizing sustainable technologies beyond the conventional….
Research by Passivent, the UK's leading natural ventilation specialist, is revealing that under changes to the SAP calculation method, installation of even its basic Passive Stack Ventilation system, in conjunction with a gas saver, waste water heat recovery and photovoltaic equipment, can achieve capital cost savings of up to £780/ dwelling, and achieve an improved DER, against the widely-accepted route of MVHR (mechanical ventilation with heat recovery).
"The findings come from analysis of, and SAP calculations done for, 'real life' semi-detached homes, which reinforces the validity of our claims," observes Dennis Bates, Passivent Domestic Product Manager. "Even with an airtightness factor of 3, our combined solution gives a better DER- of 20.33 against 21.41- and costs at least £200 less than MVHR. On even a small development, that adds up to a significant reduction in bottom-line costs, whether private or social housing, even before you've factored in the 'lifetime' costs of maintenance, replacement parts etc. It truly is giving 'more for less' and delivering best value practice."
Under Passivent's analysis, on a four-bedroomed semi-detached with three wet rooms and an airtightness of 3, PSV + gas saver+ waste water heat recovery required just 0.82kWh of PV to achieve Code Level 3 and costs less than £4000 for all of the technologies; with an airtightness of 5, the systems still cost only £4145 against almost £5000 for MVHR to reach the same Code level. With the 5 airtightness value, the same solution still costs just over £6500 to attain Level 4, against an MVHR cost of over £7000.
Passivent's PSV is the only domestic ventilation strategy that uses NO electricity to function, instantly contributing towards low carbon emissions. It harnesses natural air movement principles, like a chimney, to ensure the home is adequately ventilated 24/7, 365 days a year. Passivent PSV uses planned air paths to exhaust warm, 'used' internal air out through the roof terminal, creating a natural draught-free 'suction' effect to stimulate replacement with fresh air through strategically positioned inlets. It is therefore 'fit and forget', requiring no operator, service or maintenance input.
Passivent supplies background ventilation solutions including tricklevents and through-wall ventilators, standard and 'intelligent' mechanical ventilation, passive stack natural ventilation and the new and innovative iHybrid, which combines natural ventilation with heat recovery to yield a 55% reduction in fan energy use and a 39% saving in lifetime costs over standard mechanical heat recovery, with its systems supported by its nationwide Mastercare scheme of approved installers. Its ability to design, supply and install all domestic ventilation solutions means it can provide authoritative, unbiased advice to the building industry to ensure new schemes comply with the new Approved Document, and all other regulatory requirements.

SBEM Calculations
All new commercial buildings require an energy assessment to be carried out at the"design" stage and submitted with your building control submission. When your building is complete the building control officer will need confirmation of the"as built" calculations in order to sign off the building. We use Carbon Checker and Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) software to achieve this and can provide solutions to help you comply with building regulations.
Code for Sustainable Homes
The Code for Sustainable Homes introduces minimum standards for energy and water efficiency at every level of the new national standard. The Code measures the sustainability of a home against key design categories, rating the 'whole home' as a complete package. The minimum standards for Code compliance have been set above the requirements of Building Regulations and new homes can achieve a rating on a scale of one to six 'Code Levels' depending on the standard achieved.

Warning: This comic contains adult language, voilence, nudity, sexual images, and adult themes it is intended for mature audiences. Updated every Monday!
Average Rating: 5 (1 votes) Rate this comic
well he didnt sweet talked her into staying he just man handled her lol funny
Hey, he didn't get his "After sex snuggles" in... Can you blame him? ^.^
Okay, I know this is an 18+ comic and there will be graphic sex involved, but, it was barely a few pages in when the started to go at it. No character development to lead up to this other than a random kiss. Nothing here implies they should be having sex. Considering their race histories, it really shouldn't BE happening this early on. It's out of character for both, oh and demanding to stay like that can be considered verbal abuse. Great heroes we got here!
The reason the adult part started so quickly is because this comic was originally intended to be a quick adult comic that did not take more then 16 pages. The community wanted more, so thats why it continued. Had I originally intended it to be a long standing comic, then the adult bits would have taken longer to get to, with a lot more development.
Yes, but with the tone, body language and expression, it can be read as potential abuse. Not very loving.
If the community wanted more, it would have been wiser to finish the small comic first, then restart it with a better storyline with better payoffs for the sex scenes.
Ok man, I want to see you make a better comic, once you do that we will Liston to you bitch, intel then shut the fuck up.

Crossposted from V for Vegan.
On Wednesday, journalist Peter Laufer appeared on The Daily Show in order to discuss his newest book, The Dangerous World of Butterflies: The Startling Subculture of Criminals, Collectors, and Conservationists. While the material might seem rather lighthearted – especially in comparison to his previous subjects, which include neo-Nazism, illegal immigration and the Iraq war – the illegal butterfly trade is nothing to scoff at, as he explains:
Naturally, even the so-called "butterfly huggers" (e.g., the North American Butterfly Association, the International Butterfly Breeders Association) view butterflies as a collection or a part of nature or ecology as opposed to the many individual beings that they are. Or, put another way, butterfly conservation is more about environmental protection than animal rights – or even welfare. Even so, The Dangerous World of Butterflies sounds like an interesting read, since butterfly collecting isn't normally a "hobby" that's equated with danger (nor are butterflies the first group of animals to come to mind when one thinks of wildlife "poaching").
During the interview, Jon wonders why one might want to collect butterflies, due to their short life spans of a week or two. According to Wiki, this is a bit of a misconception:
It is a popular belief that butterflies have very short life spans. However, butterflies in their adult stage can live from a week to nearly a year depending on the species. Many species have long larval life stages while others can remain dormant in their pupal or egg stages and thereby survive winters.
Butterflies may have one or more broods per year. The number of generations per year varies from temperate to tropical regions with tropical regions showing a trend towards multivoltinism.
Not that the butterfly's life span really matters – for, as Laufer explains, it's not the aim of collectors to house a population of living butterflies. Rather, collectors view butterflies as objects to be exhibited, much like artwork. In this way, the appeal of "owning" the corpse of a butterfly belonging to a protected or endangered species is much like that of owning a stolen piece of art.
As morbid as this attitude is, I'm not sure it's all that different from that of butterfly conservations, who view their objects of admiration as pieces of a whole, cogs to be manipulated and controlled in order to achieve a desired result. A thousand Schaus Swallowtails, for example, aren't significant as a thousand living beings, but as representatives of an endangered butterfly species. To conservationists, the beings are all interchangeable members of a species, much as their corpses are interchangeable pieces of valuables and artwork to poachers and collectors.
