The long and varied comic book career of Louis Small Jr. goes as far back as the early 90’s. He helped put Harris Comics on the map as the original artist for Vampirella. His pencil worked a unique blend of sexiness and horror while he quietly built a worldwide fanbase. He has social media pages dedicated to him and he never hesitates to book a table at a comic convention if he can make it. His illustration portfolio includes Supergirl, Ka-Zar, Dark Dominionand over two decades worth of others. With gig experience all over nerdom, from DC Comics to his own independent projects, Small is one of many personable and talented workhorses that power the industry, yet cruise below the lion’s share of radars.  So personable, in fact, that he obliged our request for an interview. This is what he had to say.

It was a long and drawn out process. He was in the middle of a move, feverishly trying to tie up loose ends of personal business and activate the wifi at his new place. We’d talk on the phone, I’d email him some questions, he’d answer them at cafes and libraries, we’d talk some more to tweak the answers. Having begun my entertainment industry career in print, it dawned on me that this would be my first actual interview. Let’s see how it worked out.

At what age did you realize you had a gift for drawing?

I realized I had a Gift for Drawing in Elementary School where I was pretty successful in selling my superhero sketches to my classmates.

That’s pretty young. Who were your favorite comic book heroes growing up?

My favorite comic heroes were, Batman, Superman, Captain America, Black Panther, and so many other characters from Marvel, DC Comics, Harvey Comics, and several other companies.

Did you watch Anime when you were a kid? Which shows did you like?

I used to watch 8th Man, Kimba the White Lion, Gigantor, and the usual anime shows from back in the day. I didn’t consider any of them “anime” but eventually, I realized they weren’t american toons. I still love them all.

As you got older, how did you cultivate your own art style? Did you pattern yourself after anyone?

I learned how to draw from copying Neal Adams’ and John Buscema‘s work in Marvel and DC Comics over the years. Luckily, since I couldn’t afford college after I left the military, the knowledge I had from trying to copy their work helped me hit the ground running at the many comic companies I eventually worked for.

Did your parents help by nurturing your talent in any way?

My family in general was always very supportive of me…I drew on their walls and any random pieces of cardboard, or notebook paper. My father so believed in my skills that he never thought I’d need a college education to succeed in life.

Do you do anything else besides penciling? Colors? Inking? Writing?

I started out as just a penciler at Harris Publications, but over the years (thanks to going to dozens of Comicons) I had to learn how to ink, and eventually color the commissions I did for fans. I’ve never tried writing anything. I was never much interested in penning my own stories till about 2007 when I was about to collaborate with my brother who used to work at Disney and Nickleodeon.

How did you go about pursuing a career in comic book art?

A year before I got the Job (at Harris), I was still trying to figure out what I actually wanted to do for a “living”, as I had just gotten out of the Military shortly after Desert Calm. It was a dream come true, when I was asked to draw Vampirella for Harris Comics – a dream I never consciously had.

Describe your Harris Comics experience.

I mostly loved working at Harris, since I got to work with Dave Bogart, and some of their other staff members. Running into Rob Stull, Mark Morales, Tex, Caesar, and Buzz was the icing on the cake. Plus, I only lived a few blocks away during some of my time on the book.

Why did you leave Harris Comics?

One weekend after a Comic Con, I got a call from Marvel and Continuity. I think Continuity had a gig doing Ms. Mystic, which allowed me to work with Neal Adams. I couldn’t possibly pass up that opportunity.

What gigs came your way after Harris fizzled out?

I picked up some stuff with Marvel and penciled an issue of Ka-Zar. The resident artist at the time needed a break and I stepped in to cover him. I also worked on a few issues of Dark Dominion, some Chaos Effect stuff, and loads of pinups for DC.

Have you ever collaborated with anyone on a project? How was that experience?

I once collaborated with Rob Rodi, but it was all a telephone effort. Axel Alonso and I co-owned a comic book with Vertigo called ‘Codename: Knockout’ and we worked together on that. It was very progressive in that it sported a gay male lead and a biracial heroine. Collaborating with someone can be great because you get to share ideas. And plus, there’s the networking opportunity.

The life of a comic book artist: Pros and Cons?

Wow. Pros – besides fans and money, which I had lots of. But, first let’s do some Cons. 999% of the time out of a thousand, I’m often ignored by black fans. Not sure why, it just turns out that why and I find it curious. And sometimes Comic Cons have a propensity to place black artists in weird places and it’s tough for fans to find us. That’s also a very weird custom that I definitely put in the Con file. Back to the Pros…I love meeting up new and old fans at conventions. And another big thing would be travel. I love being able to hit cons overseas. Also, I love doing on-the-spot commissions.

Some artists use live models while drawing. Do you?

I do, yes. Especially during my time in NYC. It makes things easier for me because I never took a life drawing class. So, depending on the project, I’d use models. If I was doing something for Wonder Woman, I’d pick a model who closely resembled that physique.

Ever “cheat” by using models in magazines?

No, I don’t ever copy a model’s form verbatim. When I started with ‘Vampirella,’ I’d take an arm here, a leg there, from different female poses in mags.

Describe your approach to starting a day’s work. How do you hype yourself up for a page?

I’ve never had to. It’s just one of those things where once I read the script, I’d be amped to get it all down. Once I get the gist of the story, I’m immediately into it and I’ll go right to drawing. I’d lose sleep at night thinking about it and all I’d want to do is get the work down. It’s easy for me to get started.

Give us as clear a picture as possible of your present individual projects?

I’m collaborating with some friends on a children’s book. That’s Eric Mccray and Mike Wilson. They’re both doing the writing and Mike’s handing the pencils. I’m in charge of covers and pinups. It’s sort of a pirate comic book and it’s called ‘Cap’n Mojo,’ so be on the lookout for it. But most of my outside stuff involves painting, which I’ve gained an appreciation for lately.

And we appreciate you spending some time with us here at Nerd Bastards. We’ll definitely be on the lookout for ‘Cap’n Mojo’ and we wish you all the best in your upcoming projects.

EZ-TUBE Extension, Light Sorrel, 42 Inches, 3/4 Pound
The EZ-TUBE Tail Extension is used to add length and fullness to the
end of a tail. This extension is attached at the end of the tail bone,
allowing the tip of the tail bone to be cushioned in the soft tube
opening. What sets it apart from other tube style extensions is the
EZ-TUBE's softness and pliability as well as it's ability to open and
close, allowing for a customized final fit, keeping the tube end snug
with the tail bone.

If you can make ONE braid, you can attach an EZ-TUBE Tail
Attaches in just minutes and, as with all of our
extensions, it moves with your horse's tail!

The EZ-TUBE Tail Extension is crafted using the same technique as
in the original
NewTail, and is constructed from 100% non-dyed
horse tail hair. Each individual hair is attached to the backing matrix
utilizing the wig-making technique of tying in each individual hair (no
glue!). The backing matrix is made from a flexible material which is
color-coordinated to the tail hair color.

The EZ-TUBE Tail Extension is attached to the tail via braiding (one
braid) which is an accepted method of attachment for breed
associations requiring "hair-on-hair" methods of attachment for tail
extensions. Click

Leagues agreed for 2008/09 season

The Football Association
The FA's Leagues Committee has announced the divisions' make-up

Nuneaton Borough have been forced by the Football Association to drop two levels - and change their name - following their liquidation.

The renamed Nuneaton Town will play in BGB Southern League Division One Midlands next season.

That decision reprieves Bedford Town from relegation from the BGB Southern League Premier Division.

The FA also rejected appeals by Halifax Town and Boston United against the Conference's decision to relegate them.

Boston will play in the Unibond Premier Division next season, while Halifax have been accepted into Unibond Division One North - after being reformed and renamed as FC Halifax Town.

Boston United
The decision to expel Boston came after Conference officials determined that Boston had breached league rules by still being in administration on the second Saturday in May, although they eventually came out on Tuesday, 20 May.

Halifax Town
Halifax, who were in Blue Square Premier last season, were not been placed in the first four levels of the "Pyramid" by the FA because they were on the brink of liquidation - thus reprieving four teams from relegation - Altrincham (Blue Square Premier), Hucknall Town (Blue Square North), Boreham Wood (Ryman Premier Division) and Slough Town (BGB Southern League Division One South & West).

The Shaymen have been revived in a similar manner to AFC Telford United, who were placed at this level by the FA in 2004 after Telford United's demise.

All in all, four of the six clubs finishing in the relegation places in Blue Square North and South were eventually reprieved from relegation.

Redditch United and Worcester City were initially moved from Blue Square North to Blue Square South after four northern clubs were relegated from the Blue Square Premier - but Redditch were subsequently moved back to the North Division at the Football Conference's AGM on 7 June.

Stafford Rangers
Farsley Celtic
Droylsden, Farsley Celtic and Stafford Rangers have been placed in Blue Square North following their relegation from the Blue Square Premier, while joining them will be Unibond Premier Division champions Fleetwood Town and play-off winners Gateshead, and BGB Southern Premier Division champions King's Lynn.

As well as Redditch's geographical move (see above), Blue Square South newcomers are Ryman Premier Division champions Chelmsford City and play-off winners AFC Wimbledon, and BGB Southern Premier Division play-off winners Team Bath.

Leigh RMI
Leigh RMI have been relegated from Blue Square North to the Unibond Premier Division, and have renamed themselves as Leigh Genesis. They will be joined by Boston United (see above) and promoted sides Bradford Park Avenue, FC United of Manchester, Cammell Laird and Nantwich Town. Boston's demotion spared Vauxhall Motors from relegation from Blue Square North.

Cambridge City were relegated from Blue Square South for failing to achieve the FA's Ground Grading Category B, and lost a subsequent appeal to the FA. Their demotion earned Weston-super-Mare a reprieve from relegation.

City have been relegated to the BGB Southern Premier Division, where they will be joined by promoted clubs Evesham United, Stourbridge, Farnborough and Oxford City.

Nuneaton Borough's two-division demotion from Blue Square North following their liquidation reprieved Dorchester Town (Blue Square South - with Redditch switching back to the North) and Bedford Town (BGB Southern Premier Division) from relegation. The renamed Nuneaton Town (see above) will begin next season in BGB Southern League Division One Midlands.

Sutton United have been relegated from Blue Square South to the Ryman Premier Division, where they will be joined by promoted clubs Dartford, Canvey Island, Dover Athletic and Tooting & Mitcham.

Other clubs switched "sideways" at Step Four are AFC Sudbury, Arlesey Town and Bury Town (Ryman Division One North to BGB Southern League Division One Midlands), Bishop's Cleeve and Cinderford Town (BGB Southern League Division One Midlands to South & West), Chatham Town (Ryman Division One South to North), Colwyn Bay and Warrington Town (Unibond Division One South to North), Fleet Town and Godalming Town (BGB Southern League Division One South & West to Ryman Division One South), Hillingdon Borough (BGB Southern League Division One South & West to Ryman Division One North), Marlow (BGB Southern League Division One South & West to Midlands), and Rushall Olympic and Willenhall Town (BGB Southern League Division One Midlands to Unibond Division One South).

Here is a run-down of which team (provisionally) will be in which league for 2008/09.

NFL Week 11 tips: Cowboys aim to maintain NFC stranglehold against stringent Ravens’ defense

Simon Sinclair | 21 November 2016

NFL week 11 tips

NFL teams are facing the crucial point in their seasons in a dash for the playoffs, with struggling sides either have to make their surge now or forget about competing in January.

The AFC appears to have a strong class at the top of the Conference, with New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos all poised for post-season action.

Meanwhile, Dallas Cowboys are the dominant force in the entire league at the moment, reeling off their eighth-straight win by beating Pittsburgh Steelers in a thriller, securing the starting quarterback spot for rookie Dak Prescott.

The rest of the NFC has work to do to stop the road to Super Bowl XLI going through Dallas, starting in this weekend’s round of matches.

Baltimore Ravens @ Dallas Cowboys

Ravens @ Cowboys odds feature in Coral's top NFL week 11 tips.

Ravens @ Cowboys odds feature in Coral’s top NFL week 11 tips.

Dallas were involved in arguably the match of the season last week against the Steelers, with the lead changing hands seven times over the course of the contest, including twice in the last minute.

Ezekiel Elliott’s late touchdown handed Jason Garrett’s men the win at Heinz Field, putting them in complete control of the top seed in the NFC by two clear games. However, they will face a tough test against the Ravens’ defense, who are the best side against the run in the league, allowing just 71.9 yards per match.

Elliott has been the driving force behind the Cowboys’ strong form, but should he struggle for the first time this term then Baltimore could snatch the win. John Harbaugh’s men are no stranger to shock victories and at 27/10 on the money line they are a good bet to halt Dallas’ charge for the post-season.

Arizona Cardinals @ Minnesota Vikings

Back the Cardinals to beat the Vikings by 1-6 points.

Back the Cardinals to beat the Vikings by 1-6 points.

The Vikings are in freefall and have surrendered the NFC North lead to Detroit Lions following their fourth loss on the spin.

Mike Zimmer’s men began the campaign 5-0, but their struggles on the offensive line are turning their season into a calamity, leaving them in dire need of a win to stop their slide and to get their playoff hopes back on track.

Arizona were able to get a vital win against San Francisco 49ers to keep themselves in the post-season hunt, although they’ve played nowhere near their peak.

Bruce Arians will be buoyed by that fact and a victory over the struggling Vikings could kickstart a late-season surge. As a result backing the Cardinals at 14/5 to snatch a 1-6 point victory is a prudent option.

Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts

Titans look tasty to edge the Colts.

Titans look tasty to edge the Colts.

The Titans will look back at their defeat to the Colts in week 7 with regret, missing the opportunity to put Chuck Pagano’s men out of contention in the AFC South, while leaving them behind Houston Texans at the top of the division.

Tennessee’s offense has begun to hit their stride, scoring 35 points or over in their last three contests. Marcus Mariota and DeMarco Murray are in prime form and will aim to put a weak Indianapolis defense to the sword at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Expect a fierce battle between both offenses in this clash as Colts quarterback Andrew Luck will also be able to capitalise on the Titans’ defense that has been porous at times this term.

However, the Titans will just have the edge on quality in this clash on the road, so a victory by a touchdown of 7-12 points at 11/2 could well be a winner come Sunday.

New England Patriots @ San Francisco 49ers

Brady will be determined to help his team get back to winning ways.

Brady will be determined to help his team get back to winning ways.

The Patriots were denied on the goalline by Seattle Seahawks in their narrow defeat at Gillette Stadium last week in a thrilling match.

Tom Brady lost for the first time since returning from his suspension in week 5, and he will be desperate to make amends when he goes back home to the Bay Area for the first time in his career.

New England will be without All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski, but even without his presence they should have no issues racking up the points against the 49ers’ defense that has struggled mightily this season.

LeGarrette Blount has notched 12 touchdowns already this term and he will be in for a big afternoon, which could potentially drive his team to their biggest win of the campaign by a margin of 25-30 points at 10/1.

Houston Texans @ Oakland Raiders

The Raiders look good in the spread betting against the Texans in Mexico on MNF.

The Raiders look good in the spread betting against the Texans in Mexico on MNF.

Mexico City hosts its first NFL match since the 2005 season as the Raiders face off against the Texans in a Monday Night Football clash, with the ‘home side’ looking to solidify their push for a playoff place.

Oakland are coming into the game fresh of their bye week, but before had reeled off three wins on the spin, including an impressive 30-20 win over Denver.

Latavius Murray had a strong game running the ball, rushing for 114 yards and three touchdowns to ease the pressure on Derek Carr, who has quietly had a stellar season at the quarterback position.

That could not be said of Texans QB Brock Osweiler, whose side have won in spite of his play on the field in their past two matches. The 26-year-old has struggled immensely to manoeuvre the ball downfield and as a result running back Lamar Miller has been forced to pick up the slack.

The Raiders have an explosive offense, which Osweiler is not going to be able to keep up with, so backing Jack Del Rio’s men at 19/20 to cover the spread -6.0 is the sure bet to take.

According to a study released in February by The U-S Department of Veterans Affairs an estimated  22 veterans commit suicide every day.

In Florida, one out of four suicides is committed by a veteran.

Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown says the suicide rate among veterans is astounding. "I cannot - we cannot - stand by and watch this number tick any higher. These men and women are the defenders of our freedom. It's our responsibility to take action."

The Jacksonville City Council is expected to vote on emergency legislation Tuesday night to grant the noise waiver while also monitoring of decibel levels from the concert at Metropolitan Park and nearby neighborhoods.

The next concert scheduled to take place at Met Park is the Welcome to Rockville event.

Some neighbors across the St. Johns River have complained about concerts  at Metropolitan Park being too loud.

The bill uses $1.5 Billion in unspent funds from the previous fiscal year to increase the frequency of maintaining  city right-of-ways.

Another $300,000 in savings from a JEA customer fuel credit will be used to reactive streetlights that were shut off in industrial areas.

Businesses were concerned that shutting the lights off created a hazard for their employees. The city had also heard many complaints from residents about the condition of the right of ways.

Mayor Brown said "The legislation will have an immediate impact on the community"

UPDATE 6:30 PM From the City of Jacksonville Emergency Operations Center

Kevin Meerschaert

Local officials kicked off National Community Development Week with the opening of an outdoor fitness zone at the James Weldon Johnson Family YMCA.

Over $ 150,000 in Community Development Block Grant, or CDBG funds were used to purchase and install the exercise equipment along with a walking trail.

The city has received more than $373-million in CDBG funds since 1975. Last fiscal year the grants were used to help fund various projects from connecting 69 homes to water and sewer lines to the demolition and clearance of over 500 unsafe structure.

Jacksonville Transportation Authority

  Residents from the three Southbank condominiums want to see the Jacksonville Transportation Authority change its plans for Riverplace Boulevard.

JTA has long planned to use Riverplace as part of its Bus Rapid Transit, or BRT system. The BRT uses dedicated bus lanes and technology that turns traffic lights green to quickly move passengers.

Jacksonville City Council Vice-President Bill Gulliford says the city should dip into into the city’s banking fund to buy the Haverty-Godbold Building.

The building at the corner of Laura Street and Duval Street is owned by the Police and Fire Pension Board. The city rents the building to house the Public Defenders office.

The city can buy the property for $14 million in May - but if it doesn’t, it doesn't have another chance to purchase until 2017, and the cost would increase by about $1.5 million.

Beth Meckley

The Jacksonville City Council has approved legislation to restore some city services that were eliminated during last year’s budget process.

The frequency of city right-of-way maintenance will increase and streetlights in industrial areas will be reactivated.

The $1.45 million for the right of ways comes from discovered unspent funds from the previous fiscal year. The $300,000 to turn back on the streetlights comes from a JEA customer fuel credit.

Council members say the services are essential for the city to provide.

National Humane Society

  Animal rights groups like the Humane Society say dogs left chained alone often become aggressive and dangerous.

In March of 2011, 17-month old Dylan Andres was mauled to death by a neighbor’s dog in Jacksonville when the toddler wandered into their yard.

He had walked away from his mother as she was unloading groceries from the car. The neighbor’s rottweiler had been chained to a pole while owner was away.

Animal rights group have been pushing for legislation to ban unattended dog tethering.

Hundreds of local and state officials gathered today for the ribbon cutting of Brazil-based Embraer’s aircraft assembly facility at Jacksonville International Airport.

The A-29 Super Tucanos will be used by the U-S Air Force in Afghanistan.

The aircraft will be used to conduct advanced flight training, aerial reconnaissance and light air support operations.

 St. Johns County residents can hear next month the latest information about the proposal to extend State Route - 9B from I-95 to the St. Johns Parkway.

The first two legs of 9B will run from I-295 to I-95 in Duval County.

According to Florida Department of Transportation (F-DOT) reports, there has been a need for a limited access highway in the area since the mid-70’s.

Kevin Meerschaert

    Business leaders and elected officials from across Northeast Florida gathered today for an economic summit hosted by Jax Chamber.

Much of the discussion was about how the counties can work together to maintain a strong business climate.

Officials from six area counties talked about the budget problems they had to face the past few years, but all say things are now starting to turn around.

One of the main issues was transportation and the need to work together to get major projects funded and built.

    Korea-based Hanjin shipping will not be building a terminal at Jaxport.

    Port officials say it was a mutual decision based on changes in the world economy.

Instead of building a terminal, Hanjin will be part of an alliance of Asian shipping lines using Jaxport on a rotating basis.

Through this agreement, a total of fifteen carriers with service between the East Coast and Asia will do business in Jacksonville.

Kevin Meerschaert

Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown has signed into law legislation to reinvest 11-million dollars for economic projects.

Nine-million will be allocated for development in the downtown area.

The other two million will be used for projects elsewhere in the city.

The money comes from savings after refinancing bonds.

Brown says the dollars will be used to encourage private investment in Jacksonville.

Amazon‘s first NFL live stream of the 2018 season will take place Thursday night, and the company is adding a couple twists to its broadcast.

Starting with Thursday’s game, kicking off 8:20 p.m. Eastern time, Amazon is making the broadcasts available to everyone for free — if you watch it through Twitch, the company’s streaming service best known for showing feeds of live video games.

For Prime members, the game will be available through the Prime Video app and online at Amazon’s NFL Thursday Night Football page.

Viewers will also get the option of choosing between the Fox broadcast with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman as commentators, or a separate stream featuring an all-female duo of Andrea Kremer and Hannah Storm.

Upgrading its NFL experience marks Amazon’s latest effort at becoming a bigger player in live sports. The company has also struck deals to live stream Premier League soccer games and U.S. Open tennis matches. Amazon paid $ 50 million for the rights to broadcast 10 NFL games last year, and is reported to have paid a 30 percent premium this year to renew the deal, adding an extra game.

RRS Arrests Danfo Driver Over Theft Alleged Theft Of Eko Bridge Rails

The Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Nigeria Police Command has arrested a man, Ademola Ibrahim, who claimed to be a driver of commercial bus in Lagos, popularly known as Danfo driver, for allegedly removing the rails both under and above the Eko Bridge.

Ibrahim was said to have conspired with one other suspect, simply identified as Kampo, to commit the crime on April 24, 2015 at about 7pm.

The suspects had attempted to park the bridge rails into a waiting Volkswagen Paragon bus with registration number MUS 457 XK when they were intercepted, while the said Kampo took to his heels upon sighting the RRS patrol vehicle.

The RRS operatives were said to be acting on a tip off that some miscreants were removing bridge rails, both the ones used to guide the bridge on top and the ones used to tie the bridge under.

A credible source in RRS, who did not want to be named, disclosed that investigation of the command revealed that the suspects had been indulging in such criminal act in other parts of the state.

He said: “About three days ago, one of our patrol vehicles, RRS 153 went on routine patrol and when they were going, they saw the suspect parking his Volkswagen Paragon bus. They suspected something fishy and they intercepted the man and interrogated him on his mission in the area. The suspect (Ibrahim) told the RRS team that somebody called him to come and carry a load for him and they conducted a search on the vehicle and found about 30 pieces of bridge rails.

“When they questioned him as to how he came about the rails, he said somebody contacted him to come and park the load for him and he identified the person and Kampo. In the process, they asked him about the whereabouts of the person and he responded that he ran away upon sighting the patrol vehicle.

READ ALSO:  National Service and Matters Arising

“Based on that, the patrol team now arrested him and brought him to our headquarters. We interrogated him and he told us the same story that somebody asked him to park the load. But from our investigation when we interrogated him further, we discovered that it was a conspiracy between him and the person that asked him to come and park the load. Our investigation revealed that he has been doing that for a long time particularly in other locations across the State.

“Their action is capable of making the bridge to suddenly collapse because the rails are the irons that were used to tie the long bridge together and this action is a serious crime that could lead to massive death and destruction of properties,” the source said.

He added that a massive manhunt had been launched to get the other suspect who had been on the run arrested, while Ibrahim would be charged to court any moment from now.

When interrogated by newsmen, Ibrahim said he was living under the bridge in Iddo Terminus with the suspect who had been on the run, and that it was the said Kampo that asked him to help park some irons with his bus somewhere.

Ibrahim further said: “Kampo told me that he has some irons somewhere and that I should help him park them. He never told me he stole the irons and while we were parking the irons on the Ijora Bridge, we just saw RRS patrol vehicle and he took to his heels upon seeing the policemen and I was subsequently arrested.”

Reviews on Google:

“Very soothing, VERY clean and minimalist atmosphere. The staff is very easy to talk to, and Robin is absolutely wonderful! I was even able to show her my recent bloodwork and tell her my symptoms she (certified nutritionist) was able to guide me to the appropriate drip option that would benefit me the most. Afterwards I left feeling refreshed and relaxed, not only from the IV but also just from relaxing in the big comfy chairs they have! A little pricey, but it makes sense really because it is basically giving your body nutrients DIRECTLY into the bloodstream. It’s safe and sanitary. I was fascinated by this process, but (lol) I almost feel like I’m cheating! Probably partly why it’s pricey. Definitely worth it, even for just the experience!

“Super cool place. They are very nice there and take great care of you :)”
-A Jolivette

“My first time doing any IV therapy and I had a great experience. Super friendly and professional staff that in my opinion, has customer service in mind. The place is beautiful and exceptionally clean as well.

Now for the IV drip, I had no pain at all when they hooked me up or took it out and have been feeling great ever since. Definitely bring a book or something to read/entertain you.

Overall I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking into IV and/or Cryo- therapy!”

News from our past.

Reprinted from the October 1979 issue of Newswest.

Newswest celebrates first year

Newswest has come a long way since a group of west-end residents got together and set up a community newspaper. Last October they hired four of us and said go to it. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank the people involved over the year.

First, our thanks must go to the groups and people who have provided the funds, the advertisers and Canada Works. Next, thanks to the volunteers who have written articles, provided photos and most importantly, distributed the paper. For the list of volunteer distributors last month see page 3. We also must thank others who have attended meetings and offered advice and support. And thanks to Michael Marck, John Fowler and Susan Andersen for volunteer help in developing and printing the photographs.

For the next year, we're short of funds. If you like what has been done so far, please read the notice on page 2.

RemoveDEBRIS deploys from the ISS

RemoveDEBRIS deploys from the ISS

The deployment of RemoveDebris marks the launch of the largest payload deployed ever from the space station.

Sir Martin Sweeting, chief executive of SSTL, said: "SSTL's expertise in designing and building low cost, small satellite missions has been fundamental to the success of RemoveDEBRIS, a landmark technology demonstrator for Active Debris Removal missions that will begin a new era of space junk clearance in earth's orbit".

Engineers at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom confirmed about 2 hours later that they had contacted the spacecraft from their facilities in Guildford, Surrey, a small town in southern England.

According to Guglielmo Aglietti, director of the Surrey Space Centre at the University of Surrey and principal scientist behind the mission, researchers hope to see results by the fall. And even then, the harpoon is just a single tool in the veritable Swiss army knife that is RemoveDEBRIS, which also contains a net for catching space debris and a large drag sail for braking and deorbiting itself, each of which needs to be tested separately.

Ideally, RemoveDEBRIS will be the first of many satellites with nets and harpoons to collect space junk.

"We expect to start with the experiments at some point in September", Aglietti told "We will need three to four weeks for each experiment". One of the reasons for this, said Aglietti, is because the team wants to also get really sharp, HD video of the entire experiment and for that, "you need to wait for the spacecraft to be in the right position and to have the right illumination".

Airbus helped build three of the four experiments on board the RemoveDebris spacecraft, notes the report. This initiative is the best exemplar of how tiny satellite abilities have developed and how the Space Station can function as a stage for assignments of this scale. CubeSats will be launched from the primary satellite and "watched" through Light Detection & Ranging system and cameras. Finally, RemoveDebris will deploy a large sail that will drag it into the Earth's atmosphere, where it will be destroyed. More experiments will follow in 2019, with the harpoon test scheduled for February. It includes used rockets, defunct satellites and pieces from collisions over the past 50 years of space exploration. The satellite will release net and harpoon to see if these techniques works properly in the weightless conditions and manage to clear debris in space. UK Space Agency spokesperson said.

The European Space Agency (ESA) originally considered using the harpoon and net for its e.Deorbit mission, which will attempt to remove Envisat, a bus-size Earth-observation satellite that died in 2012.

You are viewing Travel Tips

Staying Healthy While Traveling

Travel can be a welcome change from everyday life, but if you are constantly traveling for work it can wreak havoc on your health.  Traveling makes it hard to get in regular exercise and eating in restaurants every day is a high calorie nightmare.  Your healthy routines can end up taking a back seat to business meetings and airplane travel.  There are some things that you can do that will help you stick to healthy lifestyle and not get too far off track.

Eating Healthy

When you are traveling you should bring snacks with you to eat on the plane or between meals.  You can pack almonds, dried fruit, fresh cut veggies or some raw nuts.  You should always have a bottle of water nearby so you can keep yourself hydrated, this also helps you to avoid getting jet lag.  If you are the one booking the hotel then try and get a room with a kitchen so you don’t have to eat at a restaurant for each meal.  Packing supplements can help you make sure you are getting the right nutrients.

Eating Out

Eating out is an inevitable part of traveling and it’s a great part of the experience especially if you’re on vacation.  When you travel half the month on business you’re going to have to learn to choose healthier options while you’re away.  So skip the heavy sauces and try ordering things like grilled chicken and vegetables.  If you are ordering salad then make sure the dressing stays on the side.  If you are drinking then have wine it has fewer calories.  Restaurants tend to serve huge portions so order appetizers or even a child’s portion.

Getting a Workout

Most hotels come with some type of fitness facilities even if it is only a couple of treadmills, lack of equipment isn’t a reason to start skipping workouts.  Even 20 minutes on the treadmill is better than nothing.  Even without any fitness facilities you can still do push ups, crunches, lunges and squats right in the room.  You can travel with resistance bands as well.  The stairs can be an awesome workout as well.  If you have a gym memberships with one of the national chains then you may be able to workout as a guest at a different club.

Traveling does make it harder to get in regular workouts and to eat properly but that shouldn’t be a license to overindulge.  You can make it work if you try.

Sample text

You may have capital gain transactions as well as sales of business assets. But you may also have losses—from operations or the sale of assets. Special rules govern the tax treatment of these losses. The first part of each chapter discusses the types of income to report and special rules that affect them. Then scan the second part of each chapter, which explains where on the tax return to report the income or claim the loss. Part 3 focuses on specific deductions and tax credits. It will provide you with guidance on the various types of deductions you can use to reduce your business income.

For example, if an owner dies, the S corporation’s existence continues. S corporations are formed under state law in the same way as other corporations. The only difference between S corporations and other corporations is their tax treatment for federal income tax purposes. NOTE State laws vary on the tax treatment of S corporations for state income tax purposes. Be sure to check the laws of any state in which you do business. For the most part, S corporations are treated as pass-through entities for federal income tax purposes.

If an S election is filed after the deadline, it is automatically effective for the following year. A corporation can simply decide to make a prospective election by filing at any time during the year prior to that for which the election is to be effective. Example A corporation (on a calendar year) that has been in existence for a number of years wants to elect S status for its 2010 tax year. It can file an election at any time during 2009. To be eligible for an S election, the corporation must meet certain shareholder requirements.

Public diplomacy in a time of choler

COMMENTARY | October 20, 2006

Chas Freeman, a former ambassador to Saudi Arabia, writes that we have lost international support not because foreigners hate our values but because they believe we are repudiating them and behaving contrary to them.

By Chas W. Freeman, Jr.

Americans began our independence with an act of public diplomacy, an appeal for international support, based upon a "decent regard to the opinions of mankind."

And through the end of the 20th century, no country was then more widely admired or emulated than ours. The superior features of our society - our insistence on individual liberty under law; the equality of opportunity we had finally extended to all; the egalitarianism of our prosperity; our openness to ideas, change, and visitors; our generous attention to the development of other nations; our sacrifices to defend small states against larger predators both in the Cold War and, most recently, in the war to liberate Kuwait; our championship of international order and the institutions we had created to maintain it after World War II; the vigor of our democracy and our dedication to untrammeled debate - were recognized throughout the world. Critics of our past misadventures, as in Vietnam, had been silenced by the spectacle of our demonstrable success.

Our National Nervous Breakdown

That was, of course, before we suffered the trauma of 9/11 and underwent the equivalent of a national nervous breakdown. It was before we panicked and decided to construct a national-security state that would protect us from the risks posed by foreign visitors or evil-minded Americans armed with toenail clippers or liquid cosmetics. It was before we decided that policy debate is unpatriotic and realized that the only thing foreigners understand is the use of force. It was before we replaced the dispassionate judgments of our intelligence community with the faith-based analyses of our political leaders. It was before we embraced the spin-driven strategies that have stranded our armed forces in Afghanistan, marched them off to die in the terrorist ambush of Iraq, and multiplied and united our Muslim enemies rather than diminishing and dividing them. It was before we began to throw our values overboard in order to stay on course while evading attack.

It was before, in a mere five years, we transformed ourselves from 9/11's object of almost universal sympathy and support into the planet's most despised nation, with its most hateful policies.

You can verify this deplorable reality with polling data or you can experience it firsthand by traveling abroad. Neither is anything a thoughtful patriot can enjoy. In most Arab and Muslim lands (which include many in Africa and Asia) the percentage of those who now wish us ill is statistically indistinguishable from unanimity. In many formerly friendly countries in Europe and Latin America, those with a favorable opinion of us are in the low double digits. Polls show that China is almost everywhere more admired than the United States. We used to attract 9 percent of tourists internationally; now we're down to 6. The best and the brightest from around the world came to our universities; now, very often, they go elsewhere. We are steadily losing market share in the global economy.

Suffice it to say that the atmosphere is such that men like Hugo Chávez Frías and Mahmoud Ahmedinejad felt confident of a warm response to their unprecedentedly anti-American diatribes at the UN. And that's what they received. Clearly, we are now more than "misunderestimated," to employ a useful word coined by our president; we are badly misevaluated and misunderstood abroad.

A Variety of Reactions

Here, in our country, there seem to be three reactions to the collapse of our international reputation and the rise in global antipathy to the United States.

Caligula's motto for effective foreign policy was ODERINT DUM METUANT - "let them hate us, as long as they fear us." Some, many of whom seem to inhabit the bubble universe created by our media as an alternative to the real world, agree with Caligula and the cult of his followers in the Administration and on the Hill. They think it's just fine for foreigners to hate us as long as we've got the drop on them and are in a position to string 'em up. They're surprised that "shock and awe" has so far proven to be an inadequate substitute for strategy, but they're eager to try it again and again on the theory that, if force doesn't work the first time, the answer is to apply more force.

Others seem to be in denial. That's the only way I can explain the notion of "transformational diplomacy" coming up at this time. Look, I'm all for the missionary position. But, let's face it, it's hard to get it on with foreigners when you've lost your sex appeal. A democracy that stifles debate at home, that picks and chooses which laws it will ignore or respect, and whose opposition party whines but does not oppose, is - I'm sorry to say - not one with much standing to promote democracy abroad. A government that responds to unwelcome election results by supporting efforts to correct them with political assassinations and cluster bombs has even less credibility in this regard. (If democracies don't fight democracies, by the way, what are Gaza and Lebanon all about? But that's another discussion.)

The third reaction is to call for a return to public diplomacy, this time on steroids. This sounds like a good idea but there are at least a couple of difficulties with it.

The Challenges to Public Diplomacy

The first is that, if there is no private diplomacy, there can be no public diplomacy. And as we all know, Americans no longer do diplomacy ourselves. We are very concerned that, by talking to foreigners with whom we disagree, we might inadvertently suggest that we respect them and are prepared to work with them rather than preparing to bomb them into peaceful coexistence. Both at home and abroad, we respond to critics by stigmatizing and ostracizing them. To avoid sending a signal of reasonableness or willingness to engage in dialogue, we do threats, not diplomacy. That's something we outsource to whomever we can find to take on the morally reprehensible task of conducting it.

Usually, this means entrusting our interests to people we manifestly distrust. Thus, I note, we've outsourced Korea to Beijing even as we arm ourselves against the Chinese; we've outsourced Iran to the French and other fuddy-duddies in the officially cowardly and passé "Old Europe;" and we've outsourced the UN to that outspoken international scofflaw, John Bolton, who, despite representing us in Turtle Bay, remains unconfirmable - as well as indescribable in polite company. We can't find anyone dumb enough to take on the Sisyphean task of rolling the Israeli rock up the hill of peace or to step in for us in Iraq so we try to pretend, with respect to both, that the absence of a peace process equates to the absence of a problem. Everything is under control and going just fine.

This brings me to the second difficulty. As our founding fathers understood so well, for public diplomacy to persuade foreigners even to give us and our policies the benefit of the doubt, let alone to support us, we must put on at least the appearance of a decent respect for their opinion. Persuasiveness begins with a reputation for wisdom, probity and effectiveness, but succeeds by showing empathy and concern for the interests of others. Finally, it's easier to make the case for judgments that have some grounding in reality, and for policies that have a plausible prospect of mutually beneficial results, than for those that don't.

I will not dwell on how poorly our current approaches measure up to these standards. Americans are now famous internationally for our ignorance and indifference to the world beyond our borders. We are becoming infamous for our disregard for the fate of foreigners who perish at our hands or from our munitions. Some of our military officers sincerely mourn the civilian Arab deaths their operations and those with whom we have allied ourselves cause; there is no evidence that many other Americans are the least bit disturbed by them.

Not content just to let foreigners - Arabs and Muslims, in particular - hate us, we often seem to go out of our way to speak and act in such a way as to compel them to do so. Consider Abu Ghraib, Guantánamo, the practice of kidnapping and "rendition," our public defense of torture, or the spectacle of American officials fending off peace while urging the further maiming of Lebanon and its people. Catastrophically mistaken policies based on intelligence cooked to fit the policy recipe have combined with the debacle of Iraq reconstruction and the bungled response to Hurricane Katrina to discredit American competence with foreign governments and publics alike. It's hard to find anybody out there who believes we know what we're doing or that we have a sound grasp of our own interests, let alone any understanding or concern for theirs. We have given the terrorists what they cannot have dared dream we would - policies and practices that recruit new terrorists but that leave no space for our friends and former admirers to make their case for us or for our values or policies.

Few Prospects for Change

This is not, I judge, a propitious atmosphere for public diplomacy. The atmosphere will not improve until the policies do. And what is the prospect of that?

Normally, of course, one would look to elections and the natural alternation of power in a two-party system to produce a change of course. Republicans should be held accountable for what they have done and failed to do, of course. But there is no evidence that bringing the Democrats to power would cure the post-9/11 loss of contact with reality and dysfunctional behavior that account for the fix we are in.

Judging by its record, the so-called opposition party has suffered from the same hallucinations that made us so sure that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and that there was an urgent need to eliminate them; the same delusional beliefs that foreign occupation - because it was by Americans - would be seen as liberation, that regime removal in Afghanistan and Iraq would result in democratization, and that inside every Arab there is an American struggling to come out; the same disorganized thinking that equates elections to democracy, and the same ruthless impulse to reject and punish the results of democracy when - as in the case of the Palestinian elections this past January - Americans find these results uncongenial.

Neither party is in the least introspective. Both are happy to attribute all our problems to the irrationality of foreigners and to reject consideration of whether our attitudes, concepts, and policies might not have contributed to them. Both are xenophobic, Islamophobic, Arabophobic, and anti-immigrant. The two parties vie to see which can be more sycophantic toward whoever's in charge in Israel and to be most supportive of whatever Israel and its American lobby wish us to do. Neither has a responsible or credible solution to the mess we have created in Iraq, a plan for war termination in Afghanistan, an answer for how to deal with Korean issues, a vision for relations with China or other rising powers, or a promising approach to Iran or the challenge of post-Fidel Cuba, among other issues. (I'll spare you my observations on the default of both parties on addressing the challenges of our budget and balance of payments deficits, decaying pension systems, collapsing health insurance and delivery systems, overcompensation of corporate executives at the expense of both their shareholders and the public interest, and other relevant issues that bear on our national wellbeing.) Neither party displays any willingness to learn from the successes and errors of foreigners, and both are unjustifiably complacent about our international competitiveness.

Both Republicans and Democrats seem to consider that statecraft boils down to two options: appeasement; or sanctions followed by military assault. Both behave as though national security and grand strategy require no more than a military component and as though feeding the military-industrial complex is the only way to secure our nation. Both praise our armed forces, ignore their cavils about excessive reliance on the use of force, count on them to attempt forlorn tasks, lament their sacrifices, and blithely propose still more feckless tasks and ill-considered deployments for them. Together, our two parties are well along in destroying the finest military the world has ever seen.

Remembering Who We Are

I fear that, by mincing words as I have, I may have failed to make my high regard for our political parties and their leaders clear. So I will conclude with two brief observations.

The first is that the threat the United States now faces is vastly less grave but much more ill-defined than that we faced during the Cold War. That era, which most here lived through, was one in which decisions by our president and his Soviet counterpart could result in the death, within hours, of over a hundred million Americans and a comparable number of Soviet citizens. That threat was existential. The threat we now face is not. Muslim extremists seek to drive us from their lands by hurting us. They neither seek to destroy nor to convert nor to conquer us. They can in fact do none of these things. The threat we now face does not in any way justify the sacrifice of the civil liberties and related values we defended against the far greater threats posed by fascism or Soviet communism. Terrorists win if they terrorize; to defeat them, we must reject inordinate fear and the self-destructive things it may make us do.

The second observation is that the answer to the question of whether we can defend ourselves and persuade others to support us as we do so lies first and foremost in our own thoughts and deeds. Muslim extremists cannot destroy us and what we have stood for, but we can surely forfeit our moral convictions and so discredit our values that we destroy ourselves. We have lost international support not because foreigners hate our values but because they believe we are repudiating them and behaving contrary to them. To prevail, we must remember who we are and what we stand for. If we can rediscover and reaffirm the identity and values that made our republic so great, we will find much support abroad, including among those in the Muslim world we now wrongly dismiss as enemies rather than friends.

To rediscover public diplomacy and to practice it successfully, in other words, we must repudiate Caligula's maxim and replace it with our traditional respect for the opinions of mankind. I do not think it is beyond us to do so. We are a far better and more courageous people than we currently appear. But when we do restore ourselves to mental balance, we will, I fear, find that decades are required - it will take decades - to rebuild the appeal and influence our post-9/11 psychoses took a mere five years to destroy.

And what does the U.S. now stand for?
Abortion, sexualization of children in the media, violent movies, homosexuality, multiculturalism.
These are not what made the "republic so great".

Watchdogs, meet a gadfly

Stay within your budget. If you know you have an amount in mind that you want to spend on shoes, be mindful of that amount when shopping. A sale may seem like a good idea, but not if you go overboard. Think about what is really necessary, and stay true to your budget.

Don’t buy shoes unless you try them both on. This is the only way to tell if a shoe is truly comfortable or not. Experiment with different sizes so you get the proper fit.

These shoes provide better support to your feet. Shoes which aren’t right for physical activity are not going to properly support the feet. That could lead to injury on your ankles, knees and feet.

You need to be sure you can return shoes you buy online. You cannot try on shoes on the Internet, and you may need to return them. It is important that there is some kind of guarantee in case the shoes do not fit.

Shoes never break in. They should fit as soon as you put them on. They may not stretch at all. All they may do is hurt your feet until you give up on wearing them.

Weekly Update

Published on:

‘ninja-my-penguin’ attemp

So in-keeping with my renewed attempt at being active with my ‘blogging’ here is my weekly update;

I have nearly finished the first part of (what I hope to be) my four part series on ‘Real World Project Management’. I’m basically using it as a chance to ramble about project planning/design strategies that I have been adopting recently, and the advantage I think they offer. I am also going to base the series around the construction of a small wish-list application by way of an example, so keep an eye out for the first draft of that!

Last week heralded the arrival of Leopard which I have dutifully installed. On the whole I think its a nice improvement, a couple of minor niggles but nothing worthy of a complaint. The new finder is a big improvement and I’m also pleased to see that it seems to handle my samba sharesin a much more user friendly mannor.

Apple Leopard

I have made a couple of changes to the site yesterday, I finally got around to the asynchronous loading of the Ma.gnolia bookmarks feed I built, and also finished of the flickr photo grabber I wanted for the front page.

Flickr is an awesome online photo storage application (as well as a lot more) and I have been using it for a few months now, so I put together a little bit of javascript to asynchronously grab a JSON feed of my latest uploads and randomly display one on the front page.

By performing all this after the page has loaded with javascript it means I dont have to worry about either of the web services holding up my page; loading the magnolia feed this way for instance has halved the page load time!

I’m growing to love mootools more and more at the moment, as part of the latest project of work I’m doing quite a bit with UI design and its really starting to come into its’ own.

So on top of that I’ve been reading quite a bit about PHP Generics at the moment, it’s a bit of a loose concept within php but I can see it having a real worth in some of the more abstract OO design patterns becoming increasingly common at the moment.

So look out for the first part of the new series of articles which will hopefully appear before next weekend, and enjoy another one of Jess’ ‘ninja- my-penguin’ attempts!

PANJIM: Judicial Magistrate First Class Mrs. Sarika Faldessai today directed that the Prosecution evidence in the 2004 Ribandar Church case be closed.  The JMFC in her order today stated that she would now proceed with recording the statement of the accused under section 313 of the Criminal procedure code on July 26th.
Section 313 of the Criminal Procedure Code empowers the court to examine the accused for the purpose of enabling the accused personally to explain any circumstances appearing in the evidence against them and about the case.
After this Adv. Aires Rodrigues will commence examining his seven defence witnesses which include Archbishop of Goa Filipe Neri Ferrao and former Chief Minister of Goa Mr. Pratapsingh Rane.
The JMFC in her order today further stated that Father Newton Rodrigues was fully aware of the proceedings of the case and has failed to remain present in Court despite being served summons and even a warrant of arrest issued against him.
Crime Branch Police Inspector Mrs. Sunita Sawant as directed by the JMFC today remained present in Court and sought that a non-bailable warrant of arrest be issued against Father Newton Rodrigues, the former Parish Priest of Ribandar and now Pastor of St. Bernadette Church at Calgary in Canada. Inspector Sawant told the Court that a non- bailable warrant was required as the immigration authorities and the consulates overseas through the Interpol can only execute a non-bailable warrant.
It was on Fr. Newton Rodrigues’s complaint that Adv. Aires Rodrigues and 14 other Ribandar residents were charge sheeted for trespassing into the church corridor and disturbing a meeting of the Parish Pastoral committee.
The government has over the last seven years been aggressively pursuing this case against Adv. Aires Rodrigues with the State having even challenged before the Sessions Court and later in the High Court the earlier acquittal of Adv. Aires Rodrigues in this same case by even appointing a Special Public Prosecutor in the High Court to handle the case against Adv. Rodrigues.
In 2004 Adv. Aires Rodrigues was leading an agitation demanding action against Father . Newton Rodrigues for having allegedly molested a 13 year old girl from Ribandar. While Adv. Aires Rodrigues and others were charge sheeted for confronting Father Newton Rodrigues, the case filed against Father Newton Rodrigues by the mother of the 13 year old girl who was allegedly molested by Fr. Newton Rodrigues was closed after then Governor of Goa Mr. S.C Jamir reportedly intervened to save Father Newton Rodrigues from being charge sheeted.
