10 Enduring Comic Book Couples

10 Enduring Comic Book Couples

Ask the typical comic book reader the primary reason he reads comics, and overwhelmingly, the answer has nothing to do with romance. But more than that geek guy will ever admit, he is drawn to characters that are coupled up. (Hey, reading about comic book couples just might be the closest thing to real romance some comic readers may ever experience).

This is because relationships in comic books are complicated and epic – not dissimilar to the relationship between Frank the Assassin and the crime boss’s girlfriend in the action series No Clean Break.

Comic book love involves secrets, death and, sometimes, inter-galactic racial issues. Yet, regardless of how dysfunctional it may be, some love endures it all

Seventy-plus years and going strong, this is the Holy Grail of comic book romances. When Lois met Clark, it was the typical “opposites attract” scenario. Indeed, DC Comics milked this would they/won’t they relationship for all they could (and even gave Lois her own long-running comic in order to indulge in the Supes-Lois fantasy hookup via “imaginary” tales). But they came to realize that by actually marrying them, they were moving their relationship in the right direction after all.

Chicks dig the Dark Knight, which is why Batman writers have paired him off with several hotties over the years, like Vicki Vale, Talia and some others. But there’s something about Selina Kyle – the slinky, kinky and dangerous Catwoman – that has always made Bruce Wayne hot under the cowl. Though their comic book romance is currently cooled for storyline reasons, no Batman fan in their right mind believes that Batman and Catwoman won’t find their way back in each other’s hearts, one way or another.

 Every Spider-Man fan knows exactly when Peter and Mary Jane first laid eyes on each other: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #42. She had him (and us) with just one famous phrase: “Tiger, you just hit the jackpot!” Their marriage was heavily publicized in the media, which did not deter Marvel from doing an excellent job of showing the difficulties of their union. To this day, Peter and Mary Jane are still meant for each other. Time and shifting storylines will never change that.

 Fantastic Four fans know that there’s hardly been a time when Reed and Susan Richards haven’t been hitched (the stretchable Reed and the Invisible Woman got married early in their run). Theirs has been an eventful union with unique challenges: older Reed is often preoccupied with his scientific pursuits, Susan has been tempted from time to time by that hottie in swim trunks, Namor, etc. Currently, they must endure the tragic death of Susan’s brother Johnny, the Human Torch. But endure it, they shall. Another Marvel marriage, built to last.

So much for the “Batman & Robin are Gay” accusations made decades ago by a so-called historian. As Nightwing fans surely know, Dick Grayson has cut a wide swath through the ladies, but he never forgot his boyhood crush on the slightly older Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl. As adults, Dick and Barbara (famously crippled by the Joker, and now the cyber-heroine named Oracle) consummated their relationship and forged a bond that proves so strong that their reunion just feels inevitable.

Theirs is a somewhat unusual affair. Danny Rand, aka Iron Fist, is a martial artist supreme, and Misty Knight is a former cop turned bodyguard with a bionic arm. Danny is soft-spoken, socially naïve and Caucasian. Misty is fiery, brash, and African-American. Something about this couple just clicked, probably even more than the original Iron Fist writers intended them to. As of this writing, their almost 40 year-old romance flourishes as they prepare to start a family.

While the Vision and Wanda Maximoff (The Scarlet Witch) haven’t been a couple for some time, no comic fan who remembers the two of them together can deny the devotion they had for each other. The Vision, an android constructed to be devoid of emotion, and Wanda, the sheltered mutant daughter of Magneto, forged a most unlikely love that truly had tragic circumstances for Wanda, who was driven insane over time. But when times were good between them, their romance captured the imagination of fans unlike any other, before or since.

his is perhaps the most regal relationship in comics today. T’Challa, the king of Wakanda and sometime superhero Black Panther, and Storm, core X-Men member, had a fling as teenagers in Africa and reconnected as adults and got married in a grand ceremony. Although some consider their marriage as a diplomatic arrangement, the two are passionate about each other and seem destined for the long term.

liver Queen, the dashing, somewhat vain archer with an eye for all the ladies, has an extra gleam for Dinah Lance, a true hottie with an independent streak. Theirs is the most volatile, lustful relationship in comics, undoubtedly in part because they’re too much alike in one key respect: they wear their passions on their sleeves. When they have a falling out, all of the DC Universe knows about it. If any couple on this list seems meant for each other, it is Green Arrow and Black Canary.

You can’t have a list of enduring couples without name-checking this eternal love triangle. Oh Archie… who to choose? Betty is sweet, blonde, and as comfortable as an old sock. Veronica is haughty, brunette, sultry and mysterious. You know that if you were Archie, you’d put off choosing between them as long as you could, too! And truth be told, as much as they think they want Archie to make up his damn mind, each hottie having the other as competition keeps the relationship hot and exciting. So Archie, all I’ve got to say is play on, Playa!

Ill will

Posted: Sunday, April 02, 2006

'Presenteeism' can be just as harmful to a company as absenteeism when illness is involved. A study by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases found that only 64 percent of people feel their company encourages them to stay home if they are sick, down from 75 percent in December 2004. Reasons workers come into work despite feeling ill vary. Forty-eight percent feel guilty, 60 percent are concerned about completing their work, 25 percent say they don't get paid for sick days, and 24 percent say they receive little or no sick time.

NYTimes editors defend right to dissent…

… India, but not for climate skeptics.

The NYTimes editorializes today about political intolerance in India:

Screen Shot 2016-02-23 at 9.29.30 AM

Let’s see:

4 thoughts on “NYTimes editors defend right to dissent…”

  1. Today – more than six years after the surprising revelations of Climategate emails in late Nov 2009: Government science continues as a tool of government propaganda, much as

    1. George Orwell warned in the book he started writing in 1946: “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” and as

    2. President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned in a farewell address to the nation fifteen years later, in 1961, about the dangers of

    _ a.) The military-industrial complex, and
    _ b.) Elitist government-funded scientists taking control of government policy.

    I will post links to these two warnings about the present state of science from fifty-five to seventy years in the past.

  2. I only hope that the NYSlimes continue to support Americans that disagree with the U.S. Government actions on lawless immigration etc etc…. The above is a keeper quote.

Jurassic Park: The Game

Road Collision!

Followed by
Triceratops Trouble

Jess Harding continues to drive but is forced to stop when they encounter Bakhita a young Triceratops blocking the roadway. When Gerry Harding attempts to close the gate he realizes that it is locked and must be manually released from the maintenance shed.

However in order to gain entry to the maintenance shed Gerry needs an access code which Jess finds in a manual in the glovebox. Once the lock is released they must get Bakhita away from her snack. Jess does this by honking the horn and flashing the headlights. When Bakhita moves away from the branch, Gerry is able to toss it into the enclosure. Bakhita follows but moves into the way again as Gerry attempts to close the gate. Jess honks the horn again as a scare tactic but it attracts the attention of Lady Margaret, the alpha-female Triceratops. She is provoked by the horn and suddenly charges through the gate before it is closed and into the jeep causing the horn to jam.

Perhaps no major river in Indiana has been of more discussion, debate and study than the Kankakee River.

The Kankakee River has been at the forefront of Indiana's history, first as a wildlife paradise inhospitable to man's settlement, then as the focus of a drainage movement in the 1800's that changed the character of the Kankakee River Basin forever.

The 90 miles of the Kankakee River in Indiana from St. Joseph County near South Bend to the Indiana and Illinois state line. The Kankakee River is the drainage outlet for 1.9 million acres in Northwest Indiana, of which 1.6 million acres of cropland.

Face the Unknown in Freefall

I have yet to read anything by Kristin Heitzmann that didn't fill me with wonder. She makes me want to crawl into a cozy place and not come out until the story is over. Then I spend the next few days reliving the tale in my mind.

She is the kind of author I long to be.

I recently read Freefall. This novel is set in Hawaii, and if you've never been there, you will most definitely want to after reading her breathtaking descriptions. It centers around a young lady who emerges from an accident with amnesia. Although these types of stories are not rare, I never felt as if I was reading "just another thriller." There is intrigue, danger, I have found true in every novel by Heitzmann, endearing characters who by their very struggles and brokenness make you want to cheer them on.

While she wraps her stories in Christ, her characters are real in their questions, their fears, and their hopes. What I mean is that even as a Christian, I still struggle with life here. My thoughts are not always pure, my reactions to situations not always holy, and my need to control often squeezes Christ out of the picture. Heitzmann gives us characters like this. We can believe them in the midst of the unlikely and fictional situations they find themselves in. And we come away with hope that should such circumstances befall us, we might in the end, still turn to the one true source of strength and peace.

I highly recommend Kristin Heitzmann's works, Freefall in particular today.

Roller coaster

The past month has been as bi-polar as possible.

Thanksgiving marked the arrival of prerelease copies of my second novel, Third Time Around. I was so excited to finally have this one ready for others to read! I went to work, setting up book signings and delivering copies to all who preordered. I had the privilege of sharing the publishing process and the end result with my students, my young authors, and even students in another school.

In the midst of this excitement, however, my father-in-law, who has been battling lung cancer for two years, took a turn for the worse. He passed away on Friday. Four days before he passed he told my husband he believed he had made things right with the Lord. We hold tight to that hope.

Because I am a writer, and I process my feelings with words, I sat down yesterday and wrote a poem. This has not been an easy road for our family, and as with many others, dealing with death shows itself in many different ways. My prayer is that regardless of the circumstances, we will turn to the one true source of comfort and allow him to give us peace.

Dealing with Death

For some it is steeped with guilt
For words left unsaid
Deeds left undone
The best intentions laying in a pile of ash at their feet.

Others wail in anger and despair
At the world
At the wasting disease or cruel accident
At God for not staying his hand.

Death can reunite embittered relatives
Or rip apart the closest friends.
It is the bringer of grief

But sometimes death delivers
In knowing the loved one no longer suffers.
For an eternity spent in paradise.
At the promise of a sweet reunion one day.

RUSS Resolutions Tabled

Posted By News On @ 6:26 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled

No action was taken on two resolutions regarding the Richmond and Rubio sanitary sewer systems at the Washington County Board of Supervisors meeting yesterday morning. Supervisor Jack Seward explains that the supervisors met with RUSS executive director Bruce Hudson last week. He adds that there are three possible actions the board could take: to go on with the lagoon as planned, to direct RUSS to develop an alternative, or to forgo the Richmond portion of the project.

Seward says he is still actively soliciting comments and views of the people in Washington County.

Ritz Camera

Nikon D200 User's Guide
© 2006 KenRockwell.com

Please help KenRockwell..com

Nikon D200

I bought mine from Ritz here. I bought another D200 from Adorama here. Also try Amazon here. Adorama usually has D200/18-70 kits in stock here. It helps me keep adding to this site when you click these links to get yours.

Want free live phone support? In the USA, call (800) NIKON-UX, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

From left to right, top to bottom:

BKT: Bracketing. I don't use bracketing. Hold it and spin the two control rings on the right of the camera while looking at the top LCD to choose how many shots and the exposure increments. Nikon always has designed their cameras defectively here: you have to make as many exposures as the bracket sequence is expecting. If you count wrong, your next shot will be at some weird exposure offset from the last shot. Canon had this down years ago: you held down the shutter and made as many auto bracketed exposures as you wanted. When you stopped, so did the bracketing sequence.

Trash (also doubles as one of the two FORMAT buttons): With an image on the LCD, press once. You'll get an "Are you sure?" message. Press again and the shot's gone. The D200 ignores this button if it's not playing back.

Hold this along with its brother (the MODE button) to format a memory card as I explained on the previous page.

Play [>] Button: Press it to see your pictures. Press again to turn them off.

There are a lot of trick play modes. My favorite is explained under the settings for the rear thumbswitch and the Command Dials.

MENU: This gets you inside your D200.

I'll cover what you can screw up with this in the 11 long pages that follow.

Checkerboard Button: Hold it and turn the rear dial to selector one, four or nine shots up at once.

TRICK: Hold the checkerboard and spin the front knob to flip quickly between these pages of images!

? / Key:

Playback: It protects (locks) the image from erasure. Warning 1.): it marks the file so well that it won't empty out of my trash on my computer unless I go in and remark the file on my computer first. Warning 2.): these images are erased from your memory card when you format anyway. Now you see why I don't use the lock feature.

Menus: Press for more information about whatever you're setting.

TRICK: Hold the "?" as you turn on the power and the D200 creates a new folder and saves the new images you make to it. This is extremely handy because when you load the images into your computer they already will be sorted into folders. I find this extremely helpful!

Magnifying Glass / ENTER:

During playback: Press to zoom in on image. When you do this you can zoom in more by pressing the checkerboard button and spinning the rear dial. You can use the thumb switch to scroll around the image. I prefer to set a trick mode explained here to zoom in a lot more by pressing the center of the thumb navigation button.

While in the menus: takes action on what you've set.

AE-L AF-L (Top center): Hold this to lock settings while shooting. You can alter what this button does in the Custom Setting Menu c1 and c2.

AF-ON: Focuses the lens but doesn't take a picture.

This button is helpful if you disable the AF from activating when you press the D200's shutter in this menu. If you do then you can focus with this button, and have an AF lock when you release it. I'd rather it was a self-timer, but Nikon didn't ask me about this one.

Thumb Button: Used for menu navigation, selecting AF areas , scrolling through playback images and a whole lot more.

You can configure this button in custom setting f1 and f2. I set mine to zoom way into an image when pressed in the center.

TRICK: If you set a center push to zoom on playback, you can spin the rear dial to move to different images at the same position and zoom! This makes it easy to pick out the sharpest image. Unfortunately as soon as you hit the delete key it goes back to unmagnified, sort of making this less useful for in-camera selection and deletion.

L / * on Thumb Button: this is a lock. It's smart: it only locks the AF selection. It doesn't lock you from anything else.

Focus Area Mode Selector Switch

D200 AF Mode Switch

Focus Area Mode Selector Switch

The Focus Area Mode Selector Switch lets you choose how the D200's brilliant AF system uses all 11 sensors. This switch is important for switching from shooting static subjects to action.

Little Box: Leave it as shown to use just one sensor. That's how I shoot still subjects. You use the thumb button to choose which sensor. Nikon calls this "Single-area AF."

Cross: The next position up is for sports and action. Set AF-C mode on the front of the D200. Choose the AF sensor with the thumb switch. The D200 sets focus using that sensor and tracks your subject, even if it moves around the frame! It really works. It will track birds, runners, cars or anything. It's easy for the D200 to track a bird against a blank sky. It's tougher for it to stay locked you have a lot of other things immediately in front or behind your subject. Nikon calls this "Dynamic-area AF."

Diamond: This does the same as the previous position,except it limits the D200 only to the AF areas next to the chosen sensor. Nikon calls this "Group-dynamic AF." You can tweak some of this function in the Custom Settings Menu a4. I never use this setting.

White Rectangle: The D200 chooses the best sensor automatically. It ignores your input. Use this when you hand your camera to a non-photographer or when the action is too fast for you to be able to choose sensors. It works great: I got lazy one day and photographed a bunch of kids this way, and everything looked perfect. Nikon's name for this, even less understandable than the others, is "Dynamic area AF with closest subject priority."

The D200 doesn't display the focus area that it has chosen while shooting in three modes. You can see which it chose in playback if you go to MENU > PLAYBACK MENU > Display Mode, check "Focus Area" and select OK.

Pac Man Switch: this cool switch does nothing but pop open the CF card door.

My D200 User's Guide continues below.

It took me two months to write this D200 User's Guide. No one pays me anything. If you find it as helpful as a book you might have had to buy or a workshop you may have had to take, feel free to help me share more.

"Blood Brother" on Independent Lens airs Monday, January 20th at 9 pm

Jan 7, 2014

The unmistakable power of love is celebrated in this story of one man’s decision to move to India and restart his life among the dispossessed. Rocky Braat was dissatisfied with his life in America and traveled to India as a disillusioned tourist. When he met a group of children living in an orphanage for those infected with HIV, he decided to stay and devote his life to them. Having grown up without a close-knit family of his own, he found his calling living and working with these kids. Unlike others who simply passed through their lives, Rocky stayed, dedicating himself to their health and well-being. Despite formidable challenges, his playful spirit and determination in the face of despair prove to be an invaluable resource. “Blood Brother,” a documentary feature directed by Rocky’s longtime friend Steve Hoover, traces Rocky’s story of working in the village of Tamil Nadu, India, for several years. The film illustrates his commitment to the children and the families who face life and death situations daily.

Independent Lens "Blood Brother" airs on Monday, January 20th at 9:00 p.m.

Rocky and the kids on his first trip to India.

Dallas, TX - Two days ago the Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball team won the NIT championship and you may have laughed. Laughed at the fact that it while Final Four festivities were just getting underway here in Dallas, Gopher fans were cheering for their cute little NIT trophy they just won. To be honest, a few days ago I would have been right there with you.

When the Gophers were originally named a #1 seed in the NIT after missing out on their "bubble" opportunity to crack the NCAA, I think this was a very common mindset. Why would the players play hard in the NIT? Why would the fans go watch their team in the NIT against something called Highpoint? And what benefit could the NIT be towards the future of our team?

As I've learned down here in Dallas the past few days, that NIT championship isn't scoffed at in the least bit. Not only that but it could be a springboard to future success for Richard Pitino and the Gophers.

I had the opportunity yesterday to chat with Bill Frieder, the famed coach who led Michigan to a #3 seed in the 1989 NCAA tournament only to be fired before the tournament began. Frieder's team would go on to win the National Championship that season. Throughout the midst of our conversation, Frieder referenced the Gophers NIT championship and told me it was a NIT trophy that sparked the Wolverines run in the late 1980s.

"I think it's huge," Frieder said of the Gophers NIT Championship. "In 1984 when I inherited Michigan we were a little down. My second year we lost 19 games. We won the NIT in 1984 and all summer my kids said they don't want to go back to the NIT they want to go to the NCAA. It was a stepping stone for their mental preparation and physical preparation. We won the Big Ten in '85 & '86 and then after that we won the national championship in '89."

I quickly learned that Frieder wasn't alone in his thinking. After Coach came through for a chat, former North Carolina Tar Heel and 2X NBA Champion Kenny "The Jet" Smith sat down for a brief chat with Dan Barreiro back in Minneapolis and echoed these same thoughts.

"Without question [it's a good thing]," Smith insisted. "If you look at the history of the NIT, you look at the teams. Stanford won it, sweet 16 this year. If you look at the teams that do well [in the NIT] and look at them the next year, they make noise in the tournament. So, yes celebrate that. One year championship for first year coach Pitino and you have to celebrate that because that means you're on the move, you're on the rise."

Take a look back at the history of the NIT tournament you'll quickly see that Stanford was not alone in spring boarding NIT success into an NCAA run. Listen to some of these teams and tell me if they sound familiar today...

2013 NIT Champs - Baylor (#6 seed and Sweet 16 in 2014)
2012 NIT Champs - Stanford (Sweet 16 in 2014)
2011 NIT Champs - Wichita State (Final Four in 2013, #1 seed in 2014)
2010 NIT Champs - Dayton (Sweet 16 in 2014)

Just over the past five years, that's four teams that turned an NIT championship into a Sweet 16 run over the next couple of seasons and one that made a run to the Final Four.

While the deep postseason run could certainly transform the team mentally as Coach Frieder referenced above, it also has a positive impact on recruiting.

Basketball is basketball and the longer you can play into the postseason, the more national exposure you get as your team makes a run, the more you splash onto the radar of players around the country that maybe weren't aware prior to that experience.

"That helps in recruiting," Kenny Smith continued. "When a recruit turns on the television and he sees you playing still, he kind is recognizing that it's not the tournament but he's watching you play."

So while we will be sure to not get too out of hand celebrating as we raise the NIT Championship banner in the barn next week, please realize this. If the progression continues and the train isn't derailed by something unforeseen, cheer this title, embrace the championship and understand what this could (hopefully) mean for the future of our Golden Gophers basketball team.

Helping Your Child Look Forward to School

"I hate school!"

No parent wants to hear their third daughter yell out these words on a regular basis. Your first grader conveniently forgets to bring home his homework every day of the week. Your 10 year old daughter complains every morning that she is too tired to go to school.

These are all very real roadblocks that parents just like you encounter on a daily basis. There are some steps you can take to help your child look forward to school each day, rather than loathe the mere thought of it.

Check With The School

Talk to your child's teacher. Are there behavior issues you are not aware of? Is your child picked on my other students? Does she act out as class clown? Get involved, set up a meeting with your child's teacher, the Principal and guidance counselor. Discuss the problems you are having at home and find out what is happening at school.

Talk to your child. Ask him if he learned anything new today. Ask about his friends and about the activities on the playground and at recess. If your child rides the bus, ask where he sits and why. Try to nonchalantly get the inside scoop.

Volunteer if you are able. Your presence alone can sometimes make a world of difference to your child. If you are too much of a distraction by working in the classroom, then ask if there are ways for you to help in the office or in other areas. Just knowing you are there can make a big difference.

Volunteer at home. Yes, you too can do homework and send a positive message to your child through your volunteer efforts. There are many projects that need to be done for the school that can be accomplished in your home. Work on these projects after your child arrives home and do your "homework" together.

Be Positive

It can be extremely trying when a child refuses to cooperate. Try to keep a positive attitude. Remember who is the grown up and set a good example.

Focus on the things your child did right. If her homework is sloppy, don't criticize the handwriting, instead commend her for completing it. If her clothes don't match, tell her how proud you are of her for getting ready for school on time, rather than criticizing her fashion blunder.

Listen to yourself. Are you constantly barking out commands and orders? Do you compliment your child when he is playing nicely with his siblings? This is such a hard thing to overlook, try to make a point to compliment your child at least three times a day.

Check with the teacher to see if there is something your child can do each day that would encourage her to look forward to school. There may be a specific job that is available that would make your child feel more important and encourage him to want to go to school. Does his class have a pet mouse or fish? Maybe he can be in charge of feeding and watering it each day.

Homework Help

If your child seems to be struggling with her homework and doesn't seem to "get it", help break it down into simpler terms.

Use visuals to help demonstrate how an equation works. For example, if she needs to add 3 + 3 + 5, find the designated number of objects and line them up on the table. Use 3 oranges, 3 apples and 5 cans of soup. Ask how many items there are on the table. Then ask how many oranges, how many apples and how many cans of soup.

If it's reading your child is struggling with, help break larger words down into smaller words. If he is unable to read the word "boysenberries", place your finger over the letters "senberries" and ask your child to read "boy". Then cover "boy" and "berries" and so on.

Learning Disabilities

If you feel your child's frustrations may stem from a learning disability, talk to the school about observation. Most schools have either an in-house psychologist or one that visits the school regularly. Ask to have your child observed while in class. Set up a time to discuss the results with your child's teacher.

Should the results indicate a possible learning disability, be sure to consult your pediatrician for any medical or professional advice. Testing of ADD, ADHD and Dyslexia are now readily available to parents and educators.

Listen & Act

Listen to your children. If you here things such as "Who needs to learn biology anyway?" that may actually mean "This stuff is way over my head." If they say they "don't get it", don't insist that they do. Find out what the problem is and try to help. The elementary years of your child's education are vital to the way he will view school in the future. If you are involved and show that you care and are not just there to criticize, your child will stand up and notice.

Solidarity Event

Posted on 29th September 2011 at 08:34

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 21 is staging a Community Solidarity Night this evening at the Civic Circle in Longview, starting at 5:30 pm. Organizers are inviting union, non-union, families, friends and anyone else that’s interested to come and stand with them, looking to raise awareness regarding their claims that EGT has failed to follow through with the promises that they’ve made to the local community. A large crowd is anticipated, and in connection with that, the City of Longview is shutting down early today. City officials announced yesterday that the Longview City Hall and the Longview Public Library will close at 4 pm today, to try and help ease the influx of traffic that’s expected. In addition to today’s event, the Kelso-Longview Ministerial Association is announcing that they’re going to hold a prayer gathering at 1 pm on Sunday, also at R. A. Long Park in the Civic Circle. Association President Mark Schmutz says that this Sunday’s event “will not be a time for speeches,” saying that the group is concerned about the escalating violence connected to this dispute. He says that they’ll be praying for peace, on behalf of all the people in their congregations, union member, law enforcement and local business people. He emphasizes that they’re not taking any sides in the dispute.

Smoke From American Fire NE of Foresthill

The Northern Sierra Air Quality Management District is issuing an air quality health advisory to notify the public of the potential for poor air quality conditions in Plumas, Sierra and especially Nevada County due to smoke from the American Fire in Placer County. The Fire is burning in steep terrain approximately 11 miles northeast of Foresthill, and has the potential to grow significantly. Smoke is primarily fine particulate matter, but also includes volatile compounds and nitrogen oxides, which form ozone through chemical reactions that are fueled by sunlight and warm temperatures. Therefore, ozone levels may also be elevated at times.

     National Weather Service in Sacramento posted the following:

Here is a satellite image this morning centered on the American Fire.

Interestingly two plumes of smoke are evident. One is blowing down the Sierra, with smoke being reported in Auburn.

The other is blowing northward, with smoke being reported in Nevada City, and evident over Blue Canyon and Downieville.

(Aerial Photo: courtesy of Air Attack 17)  The fire got started early Sunday morning and grew overnight.   No road closures, no evacuations. The town of Foresthill is not threatened. Fire is estimated at 800-1,000 acres. The fire has crossed the North Fork of the Middle Fork of the American River and is burning toward the Last Chance area.
A Type 2  Incident Team has been assigned to the fire.  (In the Continental United States and Alaska there are 15 National Interagency Incident Management Teams categorized as Type 1 and 36 teams categorized as Type 2. Both types of teams are strategically located throughout states, which are more prone to wildland fires.  The teams consist of members from a wide variety of federal, state, county, and local agencies. Region 5’s Type 1 and 2 teams generally manage large wildland fire incidents and address the most complicated safety, fiscal, planning, operational and logistical issues.)   The American fire has crossed the North Fork of the Middle Fork of the American River and is burning toward the Last Chance area.
No structures have been lost.

National Weather Service in Reno reports:

Smoke from the American Fire west of Lake Tahoe will continue to affect the Reno-Tahoe area over the coming days. The American Fire is burning heavy timber on the western slopes of the Sierra, about 25 miles west of Lake Tahoe in the canyon of the North Fork of the Middle Fork American River.

This is a graphic of Hysplit model run of the projected smoke moving into the Reno-Tahoe area Monday evening. West to Southwest winds will push smoke into Reno-Tahoe late in the afternoon and into the evening hours. Green shading shows areas of smoke, while blue shading shows areas of dense smoke.

Let’s give a man his dues! For over a decade now, there’s been a kinda-famous song about Zelda on the internet that many people believe was written and performed by System of a Down.

It wasn’t.

The song, simply called “Zelda”, was actually written (and sung) by a man named Joe Pleiman. It was released in 1998 on an album called Rabbit Joint, by the band of the same name. Neither of which had anything to do with System of a Down.

So how’d this modern internet fallacy come to be? Over ten years ago, the song was uploaded to Napster, in the wild days before the service was shut down and went straight. And it was uploaded simply as “SOAD - The Legend of Zelda”, or “SOAD - Zelda”. Given this was the early 2000’s, many people assumed this meant it was performed by System of a Down, particularly given the similarities between Pleiman’s vocals and those of System’s Serj Tankian.

The track, which is damn catchy, thus snowballed, and from millions of people System of a Down were given credit for a song they had no part in. Poor Joe. At least he can see the funny side of it, writing on his own website that the 1998 album featured “the song ‘Zelda’ as unintentionally made famous by System of a Down”.

To make up for it, you could go to Joe’s site and listen to some of his (and his band’s) stuff. In 2003, he was in a band called Splinter, which released an album called Hip Tanaka. Which is an awesome thing to do.

If you’ve somehow never heard the song, check it out below.

This is Naruto from...Naruto. He is a ramen-eating ninja with whisker marks on his face. What if he didn't have those whisker marks? What would he look like? According to 2ch, Japan's largest bulletin board, he'd look pretty damn handsome.

Here are a handful of fan images of Naruto, sans whisker marks and head protector. The character looks like your typical ikemen ("イケメン" or "handsome guy") from Japanese anime.

And minus the trademark spiky hair.

In case you missed it, here's a collection of handsome (and pretty) Naruto cosplayers.

Court Overturns Las Cruces Man's Gambling Conviction

Jul 28, 2012

The state Court of Appeals has overturned a Las Cruces man's conviction of running a gambling enterprise out of his Internet cafe.

Michael Vento was convicted in 2009 of one felony count of commercial gambling, but the court reversed that Thursday because it said the jury was given flawed instructions that didn't distinguish whether the gambling was illegal because it was betting or a lottery.

The court sent the case back for a possible retrial, saying there was enough evidence for a charge that Vento conducted a lottery in violation of New Mexico's gambling laws.

Vento sold customers Internet time for computers in his cafe and they received chances to win cash prizes.

The case was prosecuted when Gov. Susana Martinez served as district attorney in Dona Ana County.

Kansas senator, mayor spar over gun rights website

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas state senator is demanding that Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer take his name off the website of Mayors Against Illegal Guns group.

The Wichita Eagle (http://bit.ly/1ebp6QF ) reports that state. Sen. Michael O’Donnell used a Facebook post to question the city’s membership in the coalition.

O’Donnell’s posting urges people to ask city leaders to drop out of what he calls a “gun control group.”

Brewer says he vaguely remembers the group’s formation in 2006, but doesn’t remember Wichita signing on. He says while he doesn’t want guns in public places, he respects gun rights.

The group’s mission statement says members are determined to fight crime, and believe more can be done to stop criminals from getting guns, while also protecting the rights of citizens own them.

Eiko no Mori was a small forest located in the Twilight Mountains, alongside the road which descended from the remote plateau known as the Lair. The trees in and around the Lair were mostly evergreens, primarily pines, the climate being too chilly to support deciduous trees. Bandit organizations as the Forest Killers and the Serpents of Sanada had their lairs in the forest at various times. [1]

Grove of Games Edit

The Grove of Games was deep within the Eiko no Mori, where a go board was ready at all times for a new game. If players were forced to abandon a game and then later return to the grove, they would find the pieces of their incomplete game perpetually ready. [2]

"Thousands of acres of farmland were destroyed in Hadramaut Governorate, southeastern Yemen, by the late October floods, raising the spectre of long-term food insecurity, according to Agriculture Ministry officials.

"The devastation was huge. Hadramaut is now a food insecure governorate. Food security has been badly affected by the floods. Farmers depended on the produce from their land but now they will have to buy food items," Ahmed al-Ashlah, deputy minister of agriculture and irrigation, told IRIN in Seyoun."

I worked and lived in Yemen many years ago. I was last in Seyoun in June 2006. Pictures on my Facebook (for those who are my friends on Facebook)

Art Chic@s 2013 is here! Sign up to be an artist mentor, a student artist, or sponsor.

LRTX_artchic@s_flyerLa Reunion TX is proud to present the 7th Annual Art Chicas Unidas, and the third annual Art Chicos Unidos, programs. Together, we call them Art Chic@s. We pair emerging and established artists with local high school students in a unique art mentoring program of creative collaboration. Women artists mentor girls while male artists mentor boys. Last year, both groups produced an unprecedented body of art at our inspiring outdoor workspace in west Oak Cliff—and it’s only getting better.

We are currently seeking artists to mentor these amazing young men and women. Artist-mentors have a dual mission—not only to create an outdoor art piece or performance, but also to foster creative thinking and teamwork with their Art Chic@s apprentices. The program consists of an orientation featuring a creative career path forum presented by Dallas Art Dealers Association, a one-day workshop with mentor and apprentice creative teams and an open house and reception for family, friends and the public. All programs take place on Saturdays in October and November. Artists receive a stipend and materials budget.

If you’re a local artist and believe in mentoring young artists, please apply! Click here to download our Call for Artists and Artist application.

If you’re a high school student, or if you know one, who is passionate about art and would love the opportunity to work with an artist on an outdoor installation in a beautiful setting, join us! Click here to download our Student Applications. Boys, click hereGirls, click here.

And lastly, we can’t offer this amazing mentoring program without the help of Mentor Madres and Padres, sponsors who help us enable both artists and students to participate in this life-changing opportunity. Won’t you consider sponsoring an artist or a student for as little as $50? Click here for more information or go directly to our donate page.

Check out these inspiring photos from last year’s Art Chic@s program from our own Allison V. Smith and join us!

    I was wondering if there was a way that i could sign up and volunteer to keep the artwork safe since i live nearby the location where the artwork is being created and know the area very well. I also have some wonderful ideas as to what could be done so far as art work. Please send me an email to where i could contact you and find more information about joining and helping you guys out. 🙂

LAS OLAS ECUADOR’S Unique Oceanfront Terrace Design Up Close

One of the features that makes Las Olas stand out is the innovative Master Plan design which terraces the oceanfront communities in such a way that most homes have a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean, the Ceibo Valley Golf Course or incredibly in most cases, both. This is just not something that is normally found in typical oceanfront communities.

Las Playas-Vista al Mar Elevations

ABOVE: The lot plan above shows the elevations highlighted in red for each row of homes in meters above sea level

Each level is 3 meters higher than the row immediately in front of it. This revolutionary design not only provides a spectacular view for all, but it also creates an increased level of privacy for home owners. There are no neighbors homes staring directly into your backyard.

ABOVE: Side view of elevation change in each terrace

A special retaining wall design provides the stability and support for each terrace level while also providing the drainage needs for the oceanfront area.

Another distinctive feature of the master plan design is the curvature of many of the terraces so that it maximizes the view of both the ocean and golf course from most home sites.

ABOVE: A visual of how homes are situated on the terraces

Another resourceful feature of the master plan is the design of each home within the communities. There are multiple home designs and sizes to choose from and each group of homes is designed to enhance both the incredible views while at the same time maximizing privacy from your neighbors while you enjoy those views.

ABOVE: View from the beach of the first 3 meter terrace in the Las Playas community.

This ingenious terracing design does come with a cost, both in terms of time to build and money to construct. At Las Olas we are not interested in simply taking a track of land, plowing it flat, throwing in some roads and some services, calling it a community and selling some lots.  At Las Olas, we are first and foremost committed to building an exceptional world-class community for all its home owners to enjoy for years to come.

The famous burger holds a La Verne heritage tied to the founding family.

In-N-Out. The name alone has the power to make a Californian’s mouth salivate. Many know it as the home to the juicy double double, but few know that this family-owned fast-food chain has roots in La Verne. Although the Snyder family started their burger business in Baldwin Park 62 years ago, it was the family’s time spent in La Verne that made the In-N-Out culture what it is today.

The idea of a drive-thru hamburger stand, where customers could order through a two-way speaker box, was unique. But in 1948, Harry Snyder’s idea caught on, and California’s first drive-thru hamburger stand was born. Little did they know then the impact it would have on the future of fast food.

The La Verne/In-N-Out connection began when a young Harry Snyder met Esther Johnson at a time when California was on the brink of change. Harry was a straight-forward man who was wide awake about business opportunities and had a drive to succeed. He was also a family man, and soon he and Esther became parents to Rich and Guy Snyder, raising the family in La Verne. “Baldwin Park was just a location,” Kathy Touche, ex-wife of Guy says. “The boys, the family’s hearts, the business was here.”

Guy and younger brother Rich were both students at Bonita High School in the late 60’s. Guy (’69) was known for his antics outside of school. Whether he was racing his car through orange groves in La Verne or playing pranks at Bonita, Guy was always known for his liveliness and humor. Later, Guy would lead In-N-Out to form a racing team. Guy first drove the car, “Flying Dutchman,” which led to an In-N-Out NHRA professional racing team. Rich (’70), on the other hand, was known more for his involvement in school and for being studious.

Though different in many ways, both boys left a lasting impression to Bonita’s atmosphere. “It seemed like everyone knew those boys,” Kathy shares. The boys always had friends around them. Guy would pile friends into his car and hang out at In-N-Out after school or even bring the In-N-Out Truck to the parking lot of Bonita High School to feed students after a school dance. As the years passed, the bond between the boys and the La Verne community would never be broken. Some of the early expansion of their business was in the Pomona Valley.

Decades later, Guy was a successful business man high in the ranks at In-N-Out headquarters in the city of Irvine but never forgot his roots, as he always found himself coming back to La Verne. In 1995 after decades of separation, Guy and old high school friend Kathy, current owner of Norm’s Hangar at Brackett Airport in La Verne, reconnected. “Guy, most of the time would fly in here [Brackett Airport] from wherever he was coming from to see me. We just really enjoyed each other’s company,” Kathy says. When Guy was at Bonita High School, he once asked Kathy’s father for permission to date her. Kathy says their great age separation (he was completing high school, she was just starting) prompted her father to say “no.”

As it would turn out, Kathy became Guy Snyder’s second wife in September of 1997, eight months after his divorce from his first wife Lynda Lou Perkins became final. Unfortunately, due to the high demands of the business and Guy’s substance abuse, Kathy’s marriage to Guy ended in divorce in 1999. Nonetheless, she holds fond memories of their time together. “Guy would come in and put on my apron and help with the restaurant. He was a simple man. He enjoyed nothing more than to sit out here, eat a patty melt and watch the planes go by.” Kathy pauses briefly. A smile crosses her face. “Guy was my best friend. I miss my sober Guy.”

Tragedy in the family

The family would see some hard future times in the midst of success. During a routine work day in December 1993, Rich Snyder, then president of In-N-Out, was concluding a one-day trip to five locales when his chartered Westwind 1124A jet plunged to the ground and exploded in flames near John Wayne Airport in Irvine. All five passengers on board were killed, including Rich, 41. Federal investigators theorized that the pilots lost control when the plane flew into a “wake turbulence” created from downdrafts from a Boeing 757 landing just ahead of it. After Rich Snyder’s death, brother Guy, known as “Dutch” to his friends, became chairman of the board and CEO in 1993. Guy led the company with his mother Esther for the next six years, opening more than 40 new locations, until his death six years later, in 1999, of an accidental drug overdose.

Despite the tragic losses, In-N-Out continued to grow with Esther Snyder as president until her death in 2006 at age 86. (Harry died in 1976.) The presidency was passed on, with some controversy, to Mark Taylor, former vice president of operations. And while Taylor is the first non-family member to become president, he holds it in trusteeship. The company’s sole heir is 27-year-old Lynsi Martinez, daughter of Guy from his 17-year first marriage to Lynda, and the only grandchild of Harry and Esther Snyder. Martinez, who lives in Glendora, will take ownership of her father’s share of In-N-Out on her 30th birthday.

When Lynsi gains her company status, she will be thoroughly versed in In-N-Out’s philosophy and reputation: the belief that fast food should be made from scratch, and the wants and needs of the customer should be met. Harry also believed that in addition to a good product, if you treated your employees well and your customers even better, the business would be successful.

To this day, the employees enjoy the wisdom in those words. Rick Woodard, a 17-year In-N-Out employee, considers his experience working at In-N-Out as excellent. “I feel lucky and blessed to be part of In-N-Out Burger. I have learned how to be an effective leader, how to manage a team and have made some great friends along the way.”

Because of the Snyder’s never-changing philosophies, In-N-Out has become a West Coast love affair. “Hamburgers, hotrods, and drive-ins; you can’t go wrong in Southern California,” Kathy says from her own restaurant near the National Hotrod Association drag strip.

In-N-Out is cherished even by those who have taken a no fast food vow. “I usually don’t like to eat fast food, but I’m always up for In-N Out. It’s just that good. Their quality just can’t be matched. It’s a one of a kind taste that I can always count on. I love it,” says Sal Diaz, University of La Verne alumnus.

In some ways, In-N-Out never had to grow up; quite the contrary, this large, family-owned business, well-known in Southern California pop culture, proves consistency and quality are key components to a successful business. Today, In-N-Out receives an enthusiastic endorsement from celebrity culture. Before the 2007 Academy Awards, singer Beyoncé confessed to making a stop at In-N-Out. Chef Julia Child, famous for her TV cooking show, sent her assistant to In-N-Out to satisfy her burger craving while she was hospitalized. Rocker Courtney Love insisted on visiting an In-N-Out in 2004 just before entering rehab.

In-N-Out holds a time travel culture: Its simple goodness, schooled in the city of La Verne, remains constant. The colors, the menu, the cheerful employees dressed in white, and the same throw back drive thru greeting: “Welcome to In-N-Out, may I take your order?”will always echo the rich La Verne history of the Snyder’s burger.

In-N-Out: The Secret Menu

Animal style anyone? A “Secret Menu” reflects the raw individualism that makes In-N-Out unique. Customers can customize burgers, even fries. A burger ordered Animal Style comes doused with fried mustard and pickles, extra special sauce and grilled onions. Animal Style fries are similarly enhanced. The vegetarian option holds no meat or cheese. The low-carbohydrate Protein Burger comes wrapped in a large leaf of fresh lettuce. Last, but certainly not least, the hardy 4-by-4 is for the truly hungry, with four meat patties and four slices of cheese.

A review of some of La Verne’s best hamburger joints.

by Dan Sayles
photography by Rhiannon Mim

Thank goodness for local restaurants that serve hamburgers. Real hamburgers, that is, with the pleasing aroma of smoke and meat, and the sizzle of onions being grilled. Burgers at places like these are just simply better tasting, and the atmosphere is usually more relaxed than the average drive-through.

Many local places offer hamburgers for a decent price and can prove much more fulfilling, in terms of quality and service, than your standard chain restaurant. The Habit, a burger grill restaurant that has recently opened on Foothill and Chase, has impressed many with its simple yet broad menu. Choices range from the simple Charburger to the more exotic Teriyaki Burger, with pineapple and teriyaki sauce to titillate the senses. A trio of restaurants on D Street: Angel’s Restaurant, Roberta’s Inn, and T. Phillips, all offer hamburgers in comfortable and relaxed settings. Nestled inside the Brackett Field Airport in La Verne, is Norm’s Hangar, providing terrific cuisine and a rather breathtaking view of the local scenery. An then there’s the place against which all others are often measured: In-N-Out.

For the hamburger connoisseur in the La Verne area, here are a few helpful reviews.

The Habit

The Habit, located in the newly built shopping plaza at Foothill and Chelsea, is new to La Verne. Customers can dine indoors or out on the patio. The menu selection at the Habit is small, but solid, offering not just hamburgers but salads and sandwiches, which is also a reason to come to this jaunty burger joint for its white albacore tuna filet grilled sandwich. But the Habit has an excellent burger base in its Charburger. Coming with a single or a double patty, the Charburger can be made to your specifications – tomatoes, extra pickles, grilled onions, etc. Instead of an obscenely large amount of lettuce, the Habit uses much more manageable, and possibly fresher, shredded lettuce. The Charburger’s only drawback is that is tastes a bit like In-N-Out burger, which is not necessarily a bad thing if you are a fan of In-N-Out. However, if you’re looking for something different, you may want to try something else. You might consider the Teriyaki Charburger, which provides a much more unique experience with its sweet teriyaki sauce and ring of sliced pineapple.

Score: 4.5/5.0

Roberta’s Village Inn

Roberta‘s Village Inn, located on D Street in downtown La Verne, has changed little over the years, and in some cases, that can be a good thing, with its relaxed atmosphere and friendly waitresses. In stark contrast to The Habit’s more modern, quick and made-to-order delights, Roberta’s instead has a rather fun way to eat a hamburger: make it yourself. No, you don’t actually don an apron and grab a spatula, but you get the hamburger, meat, fries and the toppings on the side. The burger itself rests on an open-faced bun. This eliminates most of the fuss when ordering toppings. Simply put on the ones you want, seal the deal with the other half of the bun, and chow down. It is nothing life-changing, but it is nice. “We’ve been going here for a long time,” says Barbara Shipcott. “It’s all reasonably priced and delicious as well.”

For those who want a burger already made, this may be a bit cumbersome. However, for those who like to sit back and chat with other people or waitresses while they build their burger, it can be a nice change.

Score: 4.0/5.0

Angel’s Place

Right across the street from Roberta’s Village Inn is Angel’s Place, a Greek and Mediterranean food restaurant. The cheeseburger it offers can be ordered with or without toppings, and it comes with fries. Although a solid hamburger in its own right, it falls prey to the infamous head of lettuce burger trap that plagues some restaurants. Namely: lettuce, and too much of it. Nothing kills a hamburger quicker than thinking you are eating a salad between two pieces of bread. It is all a minor inconvenience in an environment that produces a burger that anyone can enjoy, in their spacious restaurant, with big-screen televisions and amiable hosts. The price is reasonable as well.

Score: 3.5/5.0

Norm’s Hangar

Tucked away at Brackett Field, Norm’s Hangar offers diners a unique chance to watch planes and helicopters take off and land right in front of them as they eat. Norm’s offers a variety of burgers that are quite delectable – the ortega burger being one of them. Overall, it was good. However, given the size of the burger and relative tastelessness of the ortega chile, it was rather bland for something that has chile in it. It also had way too much lettuce, which consisted mostly of the spine and the base. The burger was fresh and well-cooked, but the toppings were not outstanding. Thankfully for burgers such as that, there are remedies on hand, such as ketchup or Norm’s own Uncle Kenny’s Fries, which seemed to snatch the spotlight from the hamburger. The Hot Burger, slathered with gravy with a side of mashed potatoes, provides a unique experience, and a delicious one at that, with flavorful gravy and creamy mashed potatoes. Despite the flaws in Norm’s burgers, Norm’s provides many alternatives to suit your tastes and desires, not to mention a really breathtaking view of the runways and of the surrounding mountainside.

Score: 3.0/5.0

T. Phillip’s

T. Phillip’s, in downtown La Verne, offers an alternative to restaurants that offer one large burger that can fall apart. Their burger is on four pairs of buns with four small patties. Easily picked up with two fingers, these burgers come with a large helping of fries and a drink. The mini-burgers can be eaten slowly as you converse with family and friends in the friendly atmosphere – a roomy and cool interior, perfect for get-togethers and gatherings. It is a bit pricey, though, which could put a damper on your plans. But the price is quite worth it if you find yourself wanting a night out in downtown La Verne.

Score: 4.0/5.0

In-N-Out, the Inland Empire’s fast food gem, certainly lives up to its reputation as an inexpensive, tasty and quick food stop. There is an In-N-Out located on the corner of D Street and Foothill Boulevard, with two drive-thru lanes and a small walk-in for those who want to sit down at the benches outside. In-N-Out has a deceptively simple menu: burgers, shakes, and fries. “In-N-Out has the best burgers at a fast food restaurant,” Timothy Hight says. “And great shakes and fries, too.”

The double-double itself was certainly delicious to eat, not too large either, and seems to have forgone the lettuce leaves for shredded lettuce. The burgers are freshly grilled, and can be arranged with whatever you like. In-N-Out is definitely recommended, thanks to the quality and low cost.

Score: 4.5/5.0

DePaul Appellate Moot Court Society adds new talent

After the closing gavel of DePaul’s fifth annual Hon. William J. Bauer Moot Court Competition, the Appellate Moot Court Society announced its newest members for the upcoming spring moot court competition season.

The competition was held at the Everett M. Dirksen Federal Courthouse, which houses the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois as well as the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Open only to DePaul’s upper-level students, the intramural competition functions as an audition for membership in DePaul’s Appellate Moot Court Society. This academic honor allows students to represent the law school in national competitions throughout the country.

“Not only is the competition a great tradition made possible by one of our most accomplished alumni, but it also allows participants to put their skills to work and exhibit their talents when it comes to written and oral advocacy at the appellate level,” said John O’Donnell, the society’s vice president in charge of recruitment and the administrator of this year’s competition. “We were really impressed with everyone’s performance, and we are excited to have been able to add a diverse and talented group of individuals to our team, which should help make for a successful spring.”

The society’s newest second- and third-year student members are:

  • Tim Bingham
  • John Dark
  • Rachel Dickson
  • Evan Finneke
  • Timothy Furman
  • Brad Jarka
  • Elizabeth Kiggins
  • Peggy Liu
  • Jaclyn McCaffery
  • Zachary Peasall
  • Philipp Ruben
  • James Snodgrass
  • Catherine Van Duys
  • Margaret Walsh
  • Cherrisse Woods
  • Matthew Zuziak

Cherrise Woods and Zachary Peasall emerged victorious over John Dark and James Snodgrass in the final round, which was paneled by Judge William J. Bauer (LLB '52), Judge Warren Wolfson and Interim Dean Bruce Ottley. Best Brief and Best Oralist awards were given to Brad Jarka and Tim Bingham respectively.

"We were able to add some fantastic talent to our team this year, and none of that would have been possible without John’s [O'Donnell] hard work," said Kevin Sheehan, the society’s 2014-15 president. "Carrying on this tradition is a huge responsibility, and he did an amazing job."

Flat tire

I had a flat tire yesterday, so I got out of the car and opened the trunk.

I took out my cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of  my car facing oncoming traffic. They look so life like you wouldn't believe it!  They are  exposing their nude bodies to the approaching drivers.

Cars start slowing down looking at my lifelike men which made it safer for me to work at the side of the road.

Traffic starts backing up. Everybody is honking their horns and waving like crazy. It wasn't long before a state trooper pulled up behind me.

'What's going on here?'

'My car has a flat tire,' I said calmly.

'Well, what are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?'

I couldn't believe that he didn't know.. So I told him,

'Helloooooo, those are my Emergency Flashers.'

UGH! You got me with that one! Have a good day and stay out of trouble. Sounds like you might just be in a prankster mode.

B-1 in Lieu of H-1B: What is It and How Can It Help my Business?

The B-1, Business Visitor Visa has many uses and is a valuable visa for people seeking to come to the United States to perform limited business activities such as attending a conference or a Board Meeting. However, the B-1 visa specifically prohibits the visa holder from engaging in traditional work activities. In the event that a foreign company (or a U.S. company that is an affiliate, subsidiary or parent of a foreign company) would like to send an employee to the United States to perform productive skilled labor for a limited time, the B-1 in lieu of H-1B may be a good option.

Who Qualifies for the B-1 in lieu of H-1B?

This visa is meant to allow a foreign employer to place a worker temporarily in the United States. The B-1 in lieu of H-1B is appropriate for applicants that meet the following requirements:

  1. Applicant has the equivalent of a U.S. Bachelor’s degree;
  2. Applicant is coming to the U.S. to perform work that reaches the level of H-1B workers, meaning work in a specialty occupation requiring a Bachelor’s degree;
  3. Applicant cannot receive a salary from the U.S. source, although he or she may be reimbursed for certain incidental expenses;
  4. Applicant must be a permanent employee of the foreign employer and must be paid by that foreign employer.

How Do I Apply for this Visa?

The B-1 in lieu of H-1B is a B-1 visa that has been annotated as a B-1 in lieu of H-1B to allow the visa holder to engage in work activities permitted under an H-1B for a limited time. The B-1 in lieu of H-1B is not well-known and is difficult to get approved because many consular officers and border officials are not familiar with it. Some consulates will issue these visas but the consular officers subject applicants to in depth questioning and requests for additional information. Applicants will need to work closely with their employer to prepare documentation demonstrating their educational credentials, as well as proof that they are permanently employed and being paid by their foreign employer. They will also need evidence that the work to be performed rises to the level of work done by H-1B workers and show that they plan to stay for a limited time, usually under 6 months.

If the H-1B cap has been reached and your company would like to send workers to the U.S. temporarily for short-term projects, the B-1 in lieu of H-1B may be a good option for you. Given the difficulty of obtaining this type of visa it is strongly advised that you seek the assistance of a lawyer in preparing this type of application.

Matthew Hollett Translates bpNichol's "The Complete Works"

As a visual artist who is interested in poetry and experimental literature, bpNichol has long been a source of inspiration. "The Complete Works" from "An H In the Heart" is one of my favourite poems; I love the way it epitomizes bp's playful exploration of combinatorics, meta-literature, typography, and visual systems.

In "The Complete Works (after bpNichol)", I sought to translate bp's poem into the realm of digital imaging; in the same way that bp's poem consists of every character on his keyboard, my image proposes every possible pixel colour. Wanting to echo the aesthetic of bp's typewritten text, I displayed the image as if in an old Mac OS window.

I made "The Complete Works (after bpNichol)" in 2006. At the time I was working on "index of first lines", a digital artwork in which I used PHP code to compile the first line of pixels from thousands of my digital photos. Much of my digital artwork involves mashing systems together, applying the rules or elements of one system to another to see what new systems emerge.

Matthew Hollett is a visual artist, web designer, and art educator. He is currently teaching at Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland.

I wonder if the audio "complete works" would be white noise or silence?

In the original bp text, I love how there are two layers of irony. First, that all 'poetic' texts can be created through permutations of the given typewritten signs (cf. 100 monkeys) -- that there is a materiality to creation, poetry is made not of evanescent shadows and mysterious inspiration, but through these tangible and observable signs (and in Courier font, no less). You can, in fact, list the complete materials, as if you were in an Ikea factory and laid out all of parts for all possible Svens, Yvars, and Kiviks. The second irony is revealed in the very limited grid of the typewritten signs: poetry is so much more than text on paper, text in the equal grid of the typewritten page - there is an infinite variety of signs, sighs, vocalizations, localizations, glyphs in the air and mind. It's a 'there is more in heaven and earth than is dreamt of by your typewriter. And yet, of course, bp and others at the time, were brilliantly playing with and subverting the letter-making machinery of the popular typewriter.

Thanks for posting the complete works. It's nice to see them all there.

The Leyden Jar

M. van Marum. Tweede vervolg der proefneemingen gedaan met Teyler’s electrizeer-machine, 1795

The Leyden jar is the ancestor of our modern capacitor. As experimentation with electricity progressed through the 18th century, scientists were looking for better ways to store an electric charge. Insulated conductors could be used to store a charge, though a more compact storage device was greatly desired.

Ewald von Kleist and Pieter van Musschenbroek, each working independently, invented a solution in the 1740s. They discovered that a glass jar lined with metal foil on both the inside and the outside was capable of holding a significant electric charge. The device came to be called a “Leyden jar” by Van Musschenbroek’s colleagues, since the Dutch scientist was at the time teaching at the University of Leiden.

T. Cavallo. Teoria e pratica dell’ elettricità medica, 1784

Scientists continued to tinker with the Leyden jar, but its design and function remained substantially unchanged throughout its useful lifetime. Maybe the most important advancement in Leyden jar technology was the simple act of grouping several of them together. Benjamin Franklin compared this assembly to a “battery” of cannons, thereby coining the term we still use for the modern electrochemical cell batteries that power smoke alarms, flashlights, and children’s toys.
