(3) Bio-Culture R&D facilities funded through patents and copyrights of new procedures and technologies regarding econ-enviro friendly energy production. Capital costs of each 30-Mwe Trigeneration Facility is $150 Million; producing 300 full-time jobs; harnessing carbon transfer credits; securing $2-Billion energy resource base; and, securing long energy production term purchase agreements; net rate of return forecasts approved by provincial contracting parties average 12-18%; capital costs are paid out within less than 10 years. Original Fund (securing MOU / AIP / Contracts cost = $500,000 per project). And, finally, as a closed-loop site; hosting 30,000 peoples per project; there is an international holistic healing institute (IHHI) (modern era hospital) to provide care and nurturing for international medical tourists.
The 30,000 units IHHI are capitalized through the immigration investment portfolios @ $300,000 per unit; where each investor recovers their unit purchase when they vend their property into the IHHI Trust Fund. Immigration is a core mission of the CDC Group agenda; rationalizing - as most nations have today - that the significant aging population base will see a Communications transition of 20 - 25% citizenry through demise. Stabilizing the Canadian nation GDP is the central CDC Group mission; while being a fulcrum in evolving from fossil fuel dependence; and, into the sustainable energy resource and production that CDC Group has been advocating since 1960 in recognition of extreme climate change impacts that will forecast migration as the next global wide ice age unfolds : THIS IS THE TIPPING POINT.
It is through this Rocky Mountain Cree Nation / Kelly Lake Cree Nation CDC Group portal that the target base of 25% of Canada's land mass will be secured; wherein, CDC Group will produce electric power equal to the Canada national total; providing a viable leverage for stabilizing the impact that CH4 has upon the depletion of the ozone layer (carbon capture credits are valued at 20 times greater than CO2 credits); and, the energy base (25% of Canada's 10 million km sq.) is 50% cellulose; and, 90% fresh water. CDC possesses legal authorization through the RMCN/KLCN governance to proceed to develop their 10 million acres; including the 25% green energy P1-Factor base (again, originally inventories by Canada in 1925).

Is Buying a Term Paper Unethical?
ZEN AND THE ART OF ESSAY WRITING!
I'm a Good Little Academic Prostitute!
Who are we? Why we're doing this?
Dear students, it's 2012 already!
New semester new problems? Not anymore, we got new solutions!


Our mercerized cotton socks are Made in Italy by a small family of artisans who are the go-to suppliers for the top European luxury brands. The careful material selection and inclusion of Polyamide, generally agreed upon as the most attractive fibers for hosiery, makes the sock soft to the touch and gives them just the right amount of elasticity to stay up all day. They are light weight and breathable for comfortable daily wear.
This Bundle includes 3 pairs of Black dress socks and is available in Mid Calf sizes.


The supermodels of the Nineties were a phenomenon that many say will never be matched, and one of their core members, Naomi Campbell, agrees.
"I came up with a group of great ladies and I don't think you'll ever get that group of ladies together again," she told CBS This Morning when asked how the perception of 'the supermodel' had changed since she has been in the business. "You'll get one here, one there, one there, but on a whole, you'll never get it again."
The elite group of statuesque beauties that ruled the catwalk throughout much of the decade consisted of Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, and later on Stephanie Seymour, Kate Moss and Claudia Schiffer too.
What does she think defined the Supermodels of yore? "I think it was the time and era, the designers. We had Gianni Versace, Azzedine Alaïa, Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, they all used us on the runway at the same time."
Though we may never get another group like them again, we don't quite need to say goodbye to them yet - they're reuniting.
"We're working with each other in a few weeks as it happens," teased Campbell.
Where and what for? "I can't tell you. In a very nice, sunny, warm place on water."
Hmm, whatever could it be? We expect it to be suitably spectacular and will be very disappointed if it's anything less.
Campbell also revealed that she'd love to host US comedy show Saturday Night Live, saying she'd even willingly send herself up with a few phone gags. Whoever said she didn't have a sense of humour?
In another interview - she's doing the rounds to promote the second US series of The Face - she revealed she wants to have children, whether she has a partner or not.
"I do want to have children, whether I have a man or not," she told designer Diane von Furstenberg at SiriusXM Radio's Town Hall discussion yesterday. "I will have it on my own."

As a rule, glass forms the greatest energy leak in a building, and is therefore exceptionally suitable for insulating using Van Ruysdael insulating single glazing. This glass has a number of unique qualities.
The glass makes living and working comfortable by means of the C2E technology® (Comfort, Care and Energy) that ensures that the glass radiates heat back into the house. You can feel that heat.
Van Ruysdael glass ensures that damp is not moved in the house, but instead condenses on the glass at the right times - when there is too much damp and too little ventilation is present. In that way you keep control of effective and healthy air humidity in your hands. This provides the optimum balance between a pleasant perceived temperature and healthy air.

The Extended Phenotype: The Long Reach of the Gene (Oxford Landmark Science)

The classic sequel to the bestselling book, The Selfish Gene
Dawkins' highly influential scientific contribution to the gene's eye view of evolution
A new edition with a fully revised internal design
In The Selfish Gene, Richard Dawkins crystallized the gene's eye view of evolution developed by W.D. Hamilton and others. The book provoked widespread and heated debate. Written in part as a response, The Extended Phenotype gave a deeper clarification of the central concept of the gene as the unit of selection; but it did much more besides. In it, Dawkins extended the gene's eye view to argue that the genes that sit within an organism have an influence that reaches out beyond the visible traits in that body - the phenotype - to the wider environment, which can include other individuals. So, for instance, the genes of the beaver drive it to gather twigs to produce the substantial physical structure of a dam; and the genes of the cuckoo chick produce effects that manipulate the behaviour of the host bird, making it nurture the intruder as one of its own. This notion of the extended phenotype has proved to be highly influential in the way we understand evolution and the natural world. It represents a key scientific contribution to evolutionary biology, and it continues to play an important role in research in the life sciences.
The Extended Phenotype is a conceptually deep book that forms important reading for biologists and students. But Dawkins' clear exposition is accessible to all who are prepared to put in a little effort.
Oxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas, and shaped the way we think.
The Extended Phenotype is a sequel to The Selfish Gene ... he writes so clearly it could be understood by anyone prepared to make the effort - John Maynard Smith, LRB
This entertaining and thought-provoking book is an excellent illustration of why the study of evolution is in such an exciting ferment these days. - Science

Talenti® Recipes
ROOTED IN THE OLD WORLD
The story of Talenti begins in the '90s, in Argentina. Our founder, Josh Hochschuler, was living and working in Buenos Aires. He was quickly drawn to the people, the food, the fútbol, and the architecture. But it was the gelato that captured his heart. "I fell in love with the gelato—the taste, the texture, the consistency, and the experience of gathering to talk about it," he said.
This powerful connection led Josh to seek an apprenticeship at a Buenos Aires "heladería." There he learned the craft of making Old World style gelato: the slow process of cooking batches of ingredients together to infuse maximum flavor. Then he brought this craft back to the States and opened the first Talenti gelateria in Dallas, Texas, in 2003.
Still today we remain as rooted as ever in crafting Old World style gelatos and sorbettos that will capture your heart.
FLAVOR FROM
REAL INGREDIENTS
We travel the world over to source the highest quality ingredients. Whether it's fragrant vanilla beans from Madagascar, or creamy mangos from Maharashtra, we always start with real ingredients for the most authentic flavors. For example, our trademark dulce de leche comes from our friend Mario, who uses an Argentinian recipe has been passed down for several generations.
THOUGHTFUL RECIPES
Across our dozens of flavors, you'll always find an enticing new recipe to spark your curiosity, indulge your palate, or introduce you to a new tradition. For example, in our classic Madagascan Vanilla Bean we add a dash of lemon zest to enhance the floral vanilla notes. And in our Double Dark Chocolate, we blend semi-sweet chocolate chips with a hint of vermouth. We add a unique Talenti twist to our recipes, creating flavors that excite from the very first bite.
DEDICATED TO THE PROCESS
We slow cook our ingredients in fresh cream and milk for 45 minutes to distill maximum flavor, similar to how French chefs might use a bain-marie (or water bath) technique. We steep fresh mint leaves to create the base for our Mediterranean Mint. We blend fresh coconut pulp to cook into Caribbean Coconut for authentic tropical taste and texture. These are just a few examples that reflect our belief that there are no shortcuts when it comes to crafting the most delicious gelatos and sorbettos.
"Talenti Gelato: How it's made" "Discover the unique recipe and process that makes Talenti gelato different from other ice creams. Starting with fresh milk and cream, our slow cooked, batched process distills maximum flavor from real ingredients, like real mint leaves and cinnamon sticks.

Tony and Sammy are celebrating 9 years of marriage today. This is the card I made for them in the colours of their wedding. I used a Clarity mask/stencil to create the framed background. I love the deckled edges. Also Clarity mountain and hills mask. I so enjoy creating these scenic backgrounds using Distress oxides in Worn lipstick, Abandoned coral, Spiced marmalade, Wild honey, Antique linen and Black soot. The stamping was done with Archival inks. Then a bit of highlighting added with a fine white pen along with a few dots of diamond sticklers.
This shows the highlighting and I also added some Glossy accents to the little stones.
Tony and Sammy on their special day.

Biorhythm Chart for Tuesday January 19th 2021
" Traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests - not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life."
How to Publish Will Smith's Daily Biorhythm
To publish Will's biorhythm chart on your own blog or web page, just copy and paste the HTML code below.
You can also create your own chart very easily.
You and Will
Understanding Will's Daily Biorhythm Chart
Will Smith is an American actor, producer, rapper, and songwriter who has been nominated for four Golden Globe Awards, two Academy Awards, and has won four Grammy Awards, and was named "the most powerful actor in Hollywood" by Newsweek.
He was born on Wednesday September 25th 1968, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.
The blue line displays Smith's physical self during a 23-day cycle, starting at his date of birth. The physical self measurement is an indicator of his energy levels in terms of coordination, strength, and general well-being. If the blue line is at the top of the chart he is in a physically energized portion of his cycle. If the blue line is at or near the bottom of the chart Will is in a low point in his physical cycle. High points are an excellent time to take on physically challenging ventures. Low points indicate he may be physically spent and may need to take it easy for a while.
The red line represents Will Smith's emotional self during a 28-day cycle, in terms of creativity, sensitivity, mood, perception, and awareness. When the red line is near the top of the chart Will is feeling emotionally strong. His outlook on life tends to be at its best and his interactions with others are most successful. Low points on Smith's emotional line indicate times when he may need to retreat somewhat. Will Smith is more likely to be depressed during these times. High points indicate times when he will enjoy the company of others and find expressing his feelings the easiest.
The green line tracks Will's intellectual self over a 33-day cycle, in terms of alertness, analytical functioning, logical analysis skills, memory or recall abilities, and communication. When the green line is near the top of the chart Smith's mental faculties are at their sharpest. This is the time for him to seek solutions requiring logic and analysis. Conversely, at those times when the green line is near the bottom of the chart Will Smith's intellectual capabilities are at their lowest. Will might find it prudent to delay work requiring serious thought until he reaches a higher position in his cycle.
The purple line charts Will Smith's varying intuitive (or compassion) strength at different points during a 38-day cycle. When the purple line is near the top, his powers of intuition are at their strongest. During these times Will Smith might even experience moments of serendipity. These high points are times when he should be more willing to trust his hunches. When the purple line is near the bottom of the chart, his intuitive powers are at their lowest. At these times Will Smith might want to shy away from making decisions because "he just knows" and rely on a more analytical approach to decision making.
The aqua line travels the ebb and flow of his 53-day spiritual sensitivity cycle. When the aqua line is at the top of the chart Will Smith is very in tune with his spiritual self. At these times Will may reach new heights religiously or experience intense mystical experiences. During periods when the aqua line is near the bottom of the chart Smith is not particularly in sync with the spiritual side of life.
The yellow line traces Will's aesthetic powers through a 43-day cycle. During periods when the yellow line is at the top of the chart Will Smith is most open to the arts as well as being at the pinnacle of his own creative powers. The high points are perfect times for Smith to express his creative self. During periods when the yellow line is at the bottom of the chart he is not nearly as in touch with his creative self. During these times Will Smith might do well to put his energies into things that do not require large amounts of creativity.
The orange line follows the flux in Smith's level of self-awareness in cycle of 48 days each. At times the orange line is near the top of the chart he is most in tune with himself. During these periods Will Smith can experience profound moments of self-discovery. During periods in his cycle when the orange line is near the bottom of the chart Smith is not nearly as connected to his inner-self.
About Biorhythm
Our rhythmic biological cycles are said to control or initiate various biological processes and are classically composed of three cyclic rhythms that are said to govern human behavior and demonstrate innate periodicity in natural physiological change: the physical, the emotional, and the intellectual (mental) cycles.

Wake services will be held for Andrew McMorris at Branch Funeral Home of Miller Place on Thursday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday from 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. A funeral Mass will be held Saturday at 9 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church in Islip.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Wildcats Helping the Arts & Music in Shoreham, and Suffolk Boy Scout Troop 161.
The entire statement from the McMorris family is as follows.
Andrew McMorris was no ordinary boy.
Andrew was born with a sense of wonder and amazement of the world around him, and he never lost the ability to be awed by and delighted with all it had to offer.
Andrew was an artful child, and he channeled his abundant creativity through painting, acting, singing, and playing his piano, guitar, mandolin and ukulele. Always up for a costume, Andrew was Tin Man in his 5th grade production of The Wizard of Oz and of course Michael Jackson.
Andrew was an active kid, and was often on the rosters of community soccer and basketball teams. This year, Andrew joined his middle school cross country team and had looked forward to running with his team in his first meet this week. He loved to ski, and looked forward to long weekends and fresh powder. He loved being outdoors, especially hiking and camping trips with his friends in Troop 161.
Andrew was a dedicated community member, providing years of service through his participation with his Boy Scout Troop, Cub Scouts, and various school organizations. Serving in Boy Scouts was an honor Andrew was proud of. He dedicated to obtaining the highest honor of Eagle Scout. He participated in countless fundraisers, community clean-ups, and other projects such as tree planting and gardening.
He loved to travel, and was always up for trips, visits and excursions. Together with his family, Andrew toured parts of Hawaii and Alaska, explored Paris, France, London, England and sailed Disney cruises.
Bright and hardworking, Andrew was an Honor Roll student. Classmates, teachers and friends found him sometimes silly, always funny and, occasionally, a bit cheeky. He was a friend to everyone and showed kindness to all. Andrew was a loving son to Alisa and John, and a dedicated brother to Arianna. And to our larger SWR community of parents and children, Andrew was our 'son from another mother' and our 'other brother.'
But more than any other characteristic, what stands out about Andrew is his desire to fly and his passion for aviation.
Andrew wanted to fly before he could walk. Airplanes, helicopters and rockets were the obsession of his life, and he achieved his first piloting goal this past summer during AeroCamp. Andrew was occasionally chided by parents, coaches and teachers for "having his head in the clouds, but for Andrew, that only made sense. He wanted his whole self in the clouds, broken free of the bonds of this earth, borne up into an endless sky, with nothing but blue around him and horizon ahead, aloft and away ...
Fly high, Andrew.

Scout salute,
God rest him, and bless his family.
In court on Tuesday, Thomas Murphy faced Andrew McMorris' mother while dozens of scouts from McMorris' Troop 161 filled the hallway outside court, wearing red ribbons to honor the friend who dreamed of being a pilot.
"We're trying to get through the holidays without our child," said Alisa McMorris.

Legal proceedings against the drunk driver who killed the scout are still dragging on...

Maybe I'm naive about the court system, plea deals, etc... but this seems like an open-and-shut case to me. They have a blood test that shows the driver was drunk, more than double the legal limit. He's given statements admitting his role in the accident and resulting injuries and death. And yet despite his claims that he won't prolong the family's suffering, he is pleading not-guilty, going to trial, and trying (unsuccessfully) to suppress other evidence. Kind of hard to believe that he's truly remorseful when his actions since the accident contradict what he says.

Seems like it to me too, but sadly, lawyers are involved, so no closure yet for the scout's grieving family.
Reminds me of something my dad used to say, "Where there's a will, there's a lawyer to tie it up in probate for years."

Q: Constructions "as good as", "as weak as", etc I'm not quite familiar with the constructions "as good as...", "as weak as..." as they are used below.

The fact that the metanotation of derivability made every bit as good as a claim as material implication to be an explication of implication seems to have been overlooked by believers and unbelievers alike.
As weak as the grounds for introducing the new operator may seem to have been, its translation into modal terms returned modal notions to logic [...].

What do these constructions mean? Could you restate those sentences in different words?

A: As weak as:
"as weak as", simply means, something is very weak, even up-to (the next word)
As good as:
"as good as", simply means, something is very good, even up-to (the next word)
Examples:

His as good as you.
His as weak as you.

A: Example sentences are good, because "as [x] as" can be used a lot of ways, for many [x].

The fact that the metanotation of derivability made every bit as good as a claim as material implication to be an explication of implication seems to have been overlooked by believers and unbelievers alike.

The metanotation of derivability made a good claim, at least of equal merit to the claim made by material implication, for being an explication of implication. But based on the discussion about it, nobody seems to have noticed.
For something simpler but similar,

John made as good as a promise to be here.

John didn't actually promise to be here, but I'm as confident that he will be here as if he had promised.
While we're on this topic, another one that's a bit complicated.

I've been having a good week so far. Maybe this is as good as it gets?

This means, "This week has been better than I'm used to, but it falls really short of what I expected, given the amount of effort I and possibly others have gone through to get me to this point. Were my expectations too high?"

As weak as the grounds for introducing the new operator may seem to have been, its translation into modal terms returned modal notions to logic [...].

Despite the very weak grounds for introducing the new operator may have seemed to have been, its translation into modal terms returned modal notions to logic [...].
Generally, when you have, "As weak as [object possibly with descriptors] may seem to have been, ...", the gist of the sentence will be something like, "this thing sounded like a bad idea but it turned out to be a good one."

Did Vicki know that Brooks had cancer?
Even though Brooks Ayers #CancerGate is yesterday's news, the man who claims he wants privacy is again speaking out to media outlets regarding his fake cancer journey.
Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Orange County revolved around whether or not Brooks Ayers was faking cancer and if Vicki Gunvalson knew his dirty secret.
Now, months after the season ended, Brooks provided a statement to Radar Online addressing claims whether or not Vicki knew he was faking lymphoma.
As it turns out, Brooks is coming to her defense. He says he intentionally kept her in the dark, a.k.a. lied to her, about his illness.
"Vicki was not in on any cancer scam or created storyline. There is no scam. I simply didn't continue to give her information about my illness when I learned of the devious nature and intentions of the cast. Vicki never has paid me to be quiet regarding this 'supposed' scam nor has paid me to release any statements," he concluded.
I suppose it's important to note that while Brooks admitted to fabricating medical records and lying to Vicki, he maintains he is/was battling cancer.
Vicki has also stepped forward address his statements.

Nicotine levels in Juul, other e-cigarettes may spark addiction epidemic
Researchers say the levels of nicotine that Juul's e-cigarette products debuted with in 2015 spurred a nicotine arms race, and has the potential to addict a new generation of teens to the chemical.
Juul pods have had nicotine levels comparable to traditional cigarettes since their debut, but now ompeting brands are offering products with nicotine content similar or higher than the trendy e-cigarette. Photo by sarahjohnson1/Pixabay
Feb. 7 (UPI) -- The success of industry leader Juul has spurred a widespread e-cigarette culture that may fuel a nicotine addiction among youth -- at least partially because of the high levels of nicotine the company's products contain, a new study says.
There are 39 copycat e-cigarette devices that offer equal or higher amounts of nicotine than Juul, which had among the highest levels of nicotine when it debuted, according to new research published Thursday in journal Tobacco Control.
"Until recently, most e-cigarette liquids carried 1 to 2 percent nicotine, with a few considered 'super high' at 3 percent, intended for the two-pack-a-day smoker," Robert Jackler, a researcher at Stanford University and study senior author, said during an interview. "In 2015, Juul introduced a 5 percent nicotine vaping liquid with a novel chemistry -- nicotine salts -- which improved palatability, enabling higher concentrations of nicotine without undue bitterness."
Now the Juul pods have more nicotine than a package of tobacco cigarettes. Competing brands offer products that range from 5 percent to 7 percent nicotine content.
RELATED 'Low-risk' teens more likely to transition from e-cigs to smoking
And sales of Juul have taken off, shooting up by 641 percent from 2017 to 2018.
Jackler says many of these e-cigarette products mislabel the amount of nicotine in the packet. This type of misrepresentation, he thinks, adds to the addiction problem.
The issue has become such a concern, the surgeon general issued a warning, calling e-cigarette use an "epidemic."
RELATED Text program may help teen e-cigarette users to quit
Jackler thinks the e-cigarette craze is unraveling decades of public health efforts to keep nicotine out of the hands and lungs of high school kids.
This is important because some view Juul and other e-cigarette products as a safe way to help kick the habit of smoking tobacco cigarettes. However, Jackler says e-cigarettes have had the opposite effect by introducing teens to nicotine who likely otherwise wouldn't smoke.
He also thinks nicotine can act as a gateway to harder, more lethal drugs.
RELATED FDA, e-cigarette firms grapple with how to restrict kids' vaping
"For a teen, becoming nicotine-addicted greatly increases the likelihood that they will graduate to traditional, combustible cigarettes," Jackler said. "Importantly, nicotine addiction during adolescence increases the vulnerability to subsequent addictions, like opioids or cocaine. For most users of illicit drugs, their initial addiction was to nicotine."


Either way, don't try this at home. And certainly not if you've eaten coconut in the past two weeks.
If you're a solo traveler at the Outrigger, or just wind up there to watch, you'll feel comfortable as part of a crowd, as you sit on steps that overlook the lawn where the ceremony is performed.
There's a nice vibe and be sure to stick around to watch the performers pose for pictures with kids. It's a hoot as they pick some of them up and hold them upside down or sideways and make scary faces or gestures.
"Cast Away" with Tom Hanks was filmed in Fiji. But not on Castaway Island.
Fiji is a very welcoming place. Everywhere we go we get big and loud "bula's" (BOO-lah), always singing and sometimes guitar and ukelele playing.
Several times we've had "scary" warriors sporting face paint, spears and bracelets of grass or leaves on ankles, upper arms and wrists run out to greet us, screaming Fijian things we don't understand and jumping and making faces. All in good fun.
These seem very much tourist and hotel related but the Fijians also have realized they need to preserve their old ways and teach others. Even if the old Fiji ways involved cannibalism and warring tribes.
These colorful, cool shirts are a Fiji staple. The Fijian version of an aloha shirt. We drove past a police station and saw the uniform on dozens of cops sitting on a bus. A bula shirt in a blue-and-white pattern with the police patch on their arms.
Frangipani and other flowers go behind the left ear if you are single, right ear if you are married. Both men and women get flowers. They look tropical and exotic and smell nice the whole time they're on.
The sulu va taga (SU-lu vah TAHN-gah- remember, "g's" have an "ng" sound) is worn by both men and women. The one you see here is the more formal one. Unlike the sulu/sarong that is a large piece of cloth wrapped or tied, and more casual, this one in the video is a tailored sulu va taga that men wear to work and when dressing up.
The Fijian version of men's suit pants. They are made of similar material to suit material, have pockets and a belt that is part of the waistband. And sandals are the way to go.
So, the video below, family, (as some Fijians say a lot) is your (and was my) first taste of the Fijian way of life. Yes, once you are welcomed into a village by the chief and go through a kava ceremony, you are family.
Solo travelers joining any sort of village tour will find a big welcome and learn a lot about Fijian ways and should feel safe and happy traveling to and around Fiji.
I'm off for more snorkeling right from my hotel, the Warwick Fiji Resort and Spa. I'm told the "wildlife" is much different here than it was down the road a bit. And the water is super warm here on the Coral Coast, in the south of the island of Viti Levu. Hot, even, in the shallow spots. Not expected for those of us used to East Coast beaches. East Coast, US, that is.
Now, enjoy a Fiji welcome. I'll be back with more posts on other aspects of Fijian life.
Bula vinaka. Another hot, sunny day in store on the Coral Coast in Fiji. On the south coast of Viti Levu, Fiji's largest island.
You know you're miles from home when front page news in the Fiji Sun is about the Kadavu Provincial Council in Tavuki and the news from all of North America is about six paragraphs.
I've learned much about the life in the villages here and the clans and the chiefs and the kava ritual. Kava is a drink made from a local root. Details to come in future posts.
I have little time to blog and that's a good thing. I'm busy. Snorkeling over giant clams, for instance.
The water bottle sitting on the table near me is labeled, "From the islands of Fiji, natural artesian water." If I'm in the Fijian Islands, why am I drinking the water from a bottle, not the tap?
The outdoor breakfast in the hotel lobby (Fiji is warm enough all year round to not need all the usual walls and doors) includes fresh cut pineapple, papaya slices sprinkled with lime juice, watermelon slices. Eggs arrive with paler yellow yolks than I'm used to seeing.
Mynah birds spoiled by guests' crumbs and leftovers fly close, landing on some empty tables. Pests, I'm sure, but exotic to me. I don't have birds join me for breakfast all that often.
The heat and humidity are a big change from a Washington, DC, spring.
Should I check my email one more time before going "off the grid," to Bulou Eco Lodge, a "scenic 3-hour bumpy ride" away in Navala?
I am here at Raffles Gateway Hotel, where members of the Society of American Travel Writers have checked in for four hours for breakfast, a shower and some down time after a 10-hour flight from Los Angeles. It's a walk away from Nadi Airport on the island of Viti Levu, Fiji's largest.
Over breakfast, our guide Bruce explains a little about the Fijian tradition of firewalking. He says they do it over hot stones for entertainment purposes – but you have to be invited to do so by someone who will call on a spirit god to watch over you. Ahem. IF I understood that correctly.
He's done it, he says. About five or six steps without burning his feet.
The rustic eco lodge that five of us are headed to today is one of the few remaining villages in the South Pacific that still feature traditional architecture. The single-room houses, called bures (boo-rays), have thatched roofs and walls woven of bamboo.
I'm solo in that I've never met five of the six people in our group and I will be going off on my own once at the eco lodge. But I am with a group that's taking care of the details. This tends to be how I travel. It's a luxury to have someone else make the plans and get me to where I want to go. And have company for meals.
There are several options over the next three days. Tour a "medicinal and herbal garden" to discover Fijian remedies used long ago, as well as today. Get a cooking demonstration over an outside fire. Laze by the Navala River. Learn weaving, sewing and pottery making. Go waterfall trekking or horseback riding.
One thing I WON'T have is a computer connection. I'm looking forward to that…I think. I've gotten so used to checking in via some device or other every day. Perhaps this will be the most relaxing thing of all about the eco lodge.
Update: May 21. We didn't get to do a lot of what was proposed but the visit to Navala was a highlight of my travels to the interior. The thatched-roof village provides a basic lifestyle for residents and it can't be an easy life. But the people were friendly and warm to us, shaking our hands and asking us where we were from. They're used to people visiting and taking their photos. It's the only village in the country where the "building code" is bures only.
Unfortunately, we hit a very muddy time there - the rains hadn't stopped for weeks. Anyone visitng the area should plan on staying the night, It's a long drive in, by bus or car. And don't count on a nice warm shower at Bolou's!

← What is That You're Eating?
I love Chinese food but this post isn't about Cashew Chicken or Chow Mein. An article in Western Farm Press (and reposted by Food Logistics Magazine) mentions that China is now the 4th largest importer of fresh vegetables into the USA. Not surprising really. Half of the fresh fruit and one-fourth of the vegetables consumed in the U.S. are imported. It's not just produce either as 86% of the many types of fish we eat comes from other countries. What does this mean for food safety?
Reduce Waste. Improve Quality. Get Traceability.
Dr. Luis Ribera, an agricultural economist at the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Weslaco, suggests that an inexpensive labor force and good growing conditions in China and other countries can lead to increased risk of contaminated food. He was recently in China to discuss the new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), signed into law last year by President Obama. "What this law basically says about imported fresh produce is that the importer/broker who imports fresh produce from overseas into the U.S. is now liable for that produce once it's in the U.S.," according to Ribera.
The new FSMA law sets food safety standards on production, harvesting, handling and packaging on all produce, including imports, Ribera said. Until now, such standards had just been guidelines. Ribera is working on a project that to measure the impact of FSMA on fruit and vegetable production in the USA, as well as any impact on produce imports. He concludes that he suspects the new rules – many of which are still in development by the government – will likely increase the cost of production for fruits and vegetables, both domestically and overseas.
He could be right, but it doesn't have to be that way. In fact, you can essentially get traceability solutions for free. How?
A significant portion of produce goes to waste each year (Forbes says it is $35 billion. A GS1 article says IBM estimates it closer to $458 billion.) This waste is due to spoilage, as much of half of which can be attributed to improper temperature management across the supply chain – a challenge made worse by the longer trips associated with importing food from Asia or other parts of the world that can increase the risk of spoilage or food safety problems. By implementing pallet-level temperature monitoring and management solutions you can significantly reduce the amount of food wasted in the supply chain and generate more revenue…more than enough to rapidly recover the investment in the solutions. One case study we published showed that the customer was able to pay for the solution in a single growing season. The beauty of it is that, along with reducing waste and shrink, the solution also automatically provides you with traceability data. It doesn't cost extra…it's part of the solution's benefits.

I am part of a group of people with learning difficulties, who want to make traffic intersections where we live safer for those disabilities.
Crossing busy roads safely can be a challenge for anybody. But for someone with a visual or sensory impairment, it can be doubly difficult and often scary.
For instance, some of us are partially sighted and colour blind, and therefore unable to tell the difference between the green and red man.
That is why we are campaigning for an audible beep to be added to the traffic light system at certain congested pedestrian crossings in Ballymoney.
We feel the change would help people with disabilities better negotiate certain busy junctions in our town and would allow them to be more independent in their day-to-day lives.
Tina Campbell supports our Fix and was interviewed for our broadcast story.
Jackson Minford from the Roads Service supports our Fix and met with us to discuss ways of improving pedestrian safety for people with disabilities. He was also interviewed for our broadcast piece.
CAN is a user-led organisation of people with learning difficulties. Senior Drop-In Coordinator, Sylvia McCaughan, strongly supports our Fix and has helped us throughout the various stages of our campaign.
I have won a place to take part in the Best Buddies Leadership Conference in Indiana, USA in July!
Best Buddies is an international organisation that focuses on creating opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with learning disabilities.
With only 5 spots available worldwide, I am very excited to have received the recognition of Best Overall Winner and to represent Northern Ireland at their conference.
I feel the skills I gained through being a Fixer played a role in this win. My Fix helped me build my confidence in expressing my feelings and concerns, and showed me how to advocate for myself and others – an integral part of being a Best Buddies Ambassador.
Since our story was featured on UTV in February, our campaign has been gaining momentum!
Sylvia McCaughan, a Senior Drop-In Coordinator at Compass Advocacy Network who has been helping us with our Fixers project, was invited to attend the Ballymoney Borough Road Safety Committee meeting in March on our behalf.
Our views have been considered and the Road Service is now looking into the possibility of adding an audible beep to the traffic signal.
We are determined to carry on campaigning to make pedestrian crossings safer for those with disabilities - not just in our community but also beyond.
It's nice to see we're making progress and we would like to thank everybody who's getting behind our campaign.
Our story was featured on the UTV Live website and in the Ballymoney Times. Click on the links to read each article.
After our story was broadcast on UTV Live earlier this month, local councillor Thomas McKeown, who is a member of the Ballymoney Policing and Community Safety Partnership (PCSP) and on the Ballymoney Borough Road Safety Committee, has offered to support our Fixers campaign! He has invited us along to the next committee meeting to air our views.

Blindspot News: Roman's role in Season 3
Home » Blindspot News: Roman's role in Season 3
We've got news, Blindspot fans! Martin Gero, executive producer of Blindspot, loves to give scoops ahead of our favorite show; and we love him for it, we really do. Thanks to TvLine we have new information about one of our favorites, Roman.
Gero confirms that he is behind Jane's new tattoos:
"It would be fair to guess that Roman is behind it,"
He adds:
"But it's not about Sandstorm. It's not about taking over the American government. It's a whole new thing now."
Martin Gero remind us that Roman's actor, Luke Mitchell.
"Is a series regular this year. He's in every episode. He's our main bad guy, and first and foremost, he's really hurt. Jane is the closest person to him in the world, and she chose Weller and the FBI over him. He's been hurting about that. This isn't the only reason for the tattoos, but there's certainly a punitive part of the tattoos where he's trying to imprison Jane by them in many ways."
We're very excited about this news! And, of course, we want to know if a redemption is possible for Roman, as we theorized in the previous article. What do you think? Do you like this new information? Don't hesitate to tell us your opinion in the comments below!
Blindspot returns on Friday, Oct. 27 at 8/7c (NBC).

Q: Mercurial selectively hgignore htaccess files I am using Mercurial for version control, and have an .htaccess file in my web root with rewrite rules that differ depending on whether it's my localhost or my development server, etc. Therefore, I have put ".htaccess" into my .hgignore file, so that it's not part of version control.
However, I also have another .htaccess file, at .hg/.htaccess, with "deny from all", so that my .hg folder is not web accessible. I DO want THIS htaccess file checked in to version control, so that there's no chance of me forgetting to set it up on a new server, etc.
Is there a way to do this? It seems as if just putting ".htaccess" into my hgignore makes it ignore all .htaccess files, located anywhere. I tried "./.htaccess", hoping that'd ignore the root level one, but not .hg/.htaccess--didn't work though. I've tried doing research and have not had much luck.
Thanks, and sorry if I missed something obvious somewhere!

A: It is not possible. Not because of ignore, but because of files from .hg cannot be tracked by mercurial.
So you better create and check-in .htaccess.dist with template that fits most of your requirements and after you check out it on a particular machine - copy .htaceccess.dist to .htaccess and make required changes in it.

A: There is a (simple and elegant) solution. It appears you're using the glob sytax. With a simple regex you can ignore only the files that are in the 'root' of your repository. Say you wanted to ignore just the main .htaccess, you'd have to append the following to the .hgignore:
syntax: regexp
^\.htaccess

Also, comment out or remove the .htaccess from your .hgignore. Note that all patterns below the line syntax: regexp will have to be in Perl/Python-style regex, as stated in man hgignore.
Hope this helps!


New Delhi -- Catholics in a south Indian diocese want their bishop removed for allegedly misappropriating diocesan funds to lead a luxurious life with his wife and son.
Mumbai, India -- Upset that a Catholic archbishop is urging prayer and fasting ahead of national elections, Member of Parliament Subramanian Swamy of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to end India's relations with the Vatican and close the apostolic nunciature in New Delhi.
New Delhi - Though the 28-page document steers clear of mentioning priests, those demanding action against clergy abuse still find it a welcome step by the Indian church.

Wednesday's forecast for the weather outside of my local comic shop is pretty much the same as its been: as cold as can be. (I guess someone's gone and ticked off Elsa again.) The forecast for inside, however, is hot hot hot! (That's right: the way to thaw a frozen heart is with an act of true love–in this case, a perfectly pulled bag of comics!) Speaking of hot books: our Top Ten Books of 2014 is well represented this week. Take a peek:
BPRD: Hell on Earth #128 (Dark Horse): Has been good–not great. Definitely glad I jumped on board, though.
Dark Horse Presents #7 (Dark Horse): DHP has been great–especially at the new price point. This month's edition offers up a little Matt Kindt–and Mignola, Van Lente, Aragonés, and more! Talk about bang for your buck!
Batman and Robin #39 (DC): The Action-packed cover's very clever:
Batman and Robin #39
I know better, though: B&R's been a huge disappointment for months now. In fact, I finally got around to dropping it from my pull list last month. No longer under any obligation, I should leave it on the shelf and fill the void with something new. God knows there will be plenty of players for the spot. Image alone has a thousand new titles coming out in the next few months, so…
The Multiversity: Mastermen #1 (DC) Just I&N Morrison's Multiversity has been a metafiction metahuman masterwork! And now, Mastermen–with every-panel's-a-pinup Jim Lee on art duties.
Multiversity: Mastermen #1
Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw #4 (Image): I can't be the only one who's noticed: the current arc of Astro City's been a bit blah; but this has been really, really good. Coincidence?
Bitch Planet #3 (Image): I enjoyed #1 for all sorts of reasons (exploiting exploitation, lots of Tarantino, hints of Fraction, etc.). Hey: borrowing works well when it works well. Oh, but when it doesn't… #2 lost me from the get-go–especially as I was taken immediately to a low budget modern-day exploitation flick that I caught one night on one of the Showtime or HBO channels: Raze, starring Tarantino darling Zoë Bell. Coincidence?
Raze (2013)
I'll try this one and see where it takes me.
Lazarus #15 (Image) I&N Demand Our #2 book of 2014! It's what we've been waiting for for like, well, forever: Forever in a Trial by Combat against another Lazarus!
Lazarus #15
Secret Identities #1 (Image): Jay Faerber's earned Must Try status with Copperhead.
All-New Captain America #4 (Marvel): I know, I know. But it hasn't been terrible. And this time out, Remender's dusting off the Armadillo! Gotta wonder, though, what effect Secret Wars is going to have on this little experiment–and if it's worth following a dead title shelf-sitting.
Iron Fist: The Living Weapon #9 (Marvel): I love what Kaare Andrews is doing with Danny Rand. In fact, Iron Fist was my #16 book of 2014–and my third-favorite superhero monthly after Silver Surfer and Moon Knight. High praise, indeed!
Magneto #15 (Marvel): Bunn's done a nice job of telling stories from issue to issue. He's delivered some nice twists along the way, too. #14 ended with Magneto's giving himself up to S.H.I.E.L.D. Wonder what his endgame is…
Moon Knight #12 (Marvel) I&N Demand Our #8 book of 2014! #11 ended on a bit of a down note–you know, with Marc Spector falling out of a flying detention facility and all. (Wood and Smallwood must've watched–and liked–Stallone's waterlogged–yet undeniably watchable–prison break bingo, Escape Plan, as they delivered quite an homage with Spector in Stallone's role and Khonshu in Schwarzenegger's.) Not looking forward to saying goodbye to Wood and Smallwood, but I am looking forward to seeing how they end their arc–and how they leave things for Cullen Bunn and Ron Ackins. Maybe they'll reach back to Bullet to the Head. Or Avenging Angelo…
Moon Knight #12
Silver Surfer #9 (Marvel) I&N Demand Our #4 book of 2014! Well orchestrated fun from Dan Slott and Michael Allred! The biggest–and best–superhero monthly around–and this issue promises to be HUGE!
Silver Surfer #9
Uncanny X-Men #31 (Marvel): Bendis is on his way out. That promises some real havoc in the X-Universe. No, really–look:
Uncanny X-Men #31
Burning Fields #2 (BOOM!): Kinda like a cross between The Killing and Homeland. Not a bad thing.
Cap Stone #3 (Titan): Some real high points: the conversation between Charlie and her mom; the wild shifts in Sharp's artwork. Some low points, too: the conversation between Charlie and her mom; the wild shifts in Sharp's artwork. I loved #1. #2, however, exposed a serious flaw: inconsistency. Still intriguing enough, though.
Mono #3 (Titan): Another book from Liam Sharp that took a step back after a very promising premier. What spoiled the sophomore offering: the conversation–coincidence?–between Heinrich and Isabella, which acts as a dragline on the storyline. Also seems waaaaaay too serious for a book about an ape-man secret agent and assassin for the Queen, doesn't it? It's so goddamned dour! I do like the layered approach that Sharp's taking to create the Mono myth, however.
The Valiant #3 (Valiant) I&N Demand I liked #1 enough–but I absolutely loved #2! I was particularly struck by the artistic collaboration between Lemire and Kindt on the storybook section. Sure, many of the notes that are struck remind of Lemire's run on Animal Man; but what the hell–they work well here, so all the better!
The Valiant #3
The Twilight Zone #12 (Dynamite) I&N Demand Our #10 book of 2014! This issue ends an extremely powerful arc and Straczynski and Vilanova's superior run. So sad to see this go. Hmm. Maybe–just maybe–I could travel back in time and kill another series–Dream Police, for instance–in its place…
The Twilight Zone #12
What are you looking forward to this week?
A Voice in the Dark, Adrian Alphona, Alberto Alburquerque, Ales Kot, All-New Ghost Rider, American Vampire, American Vampire: Second Cycle, Animal Man, Avengers World, BOOM!, Brian Azzarello, Brian Hurtt, Brian Michael Bendis, Brian Wood, Charles Soule, Chip Zdarsky, Chris Bachalo, Chris Samnee, Cliff Chiang, Colin Lorimer, Cullen Bunn, Curse, Daredevil, Dark Horse, Dark Horse Presents, DC, Dean Motter, Diego Bernard, Frank Barbiere, Fuse, G. Willow Wilson, Greg Rucka, Harbinger, Image, Jeff Lemire, Jonathan Hickman, Joshua Dysart, Joshua Hale Fialkov, Khari Evans, Larime Taylor, Lazarus, Letter 44, Mark Waid, Marvel, Matt Fraction, Matt Kindt, Michael Lark, Michael Moreci, Mister X, Ms. Marvel, Nick Spencer, Oni Press, Paul Tobin, Rafael Albuquerque, Rick Remender, Riley Rossmo, Robert Venditti, Scott Snyder, Scribblenauts Unmasked, Sex Criminals, Skyman, Suicide Squad, The Sixth Gun, The Witcher, Tim Daniel, Toby Cypress, Top Cow, Tradd Moore, Travel Foreman, Uncanny X-Men, Valiant, Vanesa Del Rey, Vertigo, White Suits, Winter Soldier: The Bitter March, Wonder Woman, X-Men, X-O Manowar, zero
Can't buy 'em all. That's why I narrow it down to a select many every week.
Dark Horse Presents #34 (Dark Horse): A pricey pick, that's for sure; but a gotta grab because Dean Motter's magnificent Mister X is making his much anticipated return to the DHU. And we love us some Mister X: if you didn't already know–and you'd be in rare company–Mister X: Eviction was our #1 book of 2013.
Dark Horse Presents #34
Skyman #3 (Dark Horse): Has been OK. My interest level in this book increased exponentially after reading Joshua Hale Fialkov's The Bunker. Makes this a bit of a potential pick. Thing is, as a four-issue mini, Skyman might not have the time to realize that potential. On a positive note, I'm willing to go the distance because it's a mini. Wouldn't have been so willing if it had been an ongoing.
White Suits #2 (Dark Horse): Toby Cypress's art was certainly remarkable. The story, not so much. I'm leaning toward passing on it.
The Witcher #1 (Dark Horse): Capable horror scribe Paul Tobin (Colder) makes it a maybe. The fact that it's based on a video game makes it a maybe not. May also pass on this one.
American Vampire: Second Cycle #1 (DC/Vertigo): I've been looking forward to this! Oh, sure, I bashed Batman a time or two and have been mostly put to sleep by The Wake (that is until #6, which was, pretty much, in The Wake world, anyhow, the equivalent of a cold shower!). But that doesn't mean I'm a Snyder hater; in fact, I happen to love American Vampire. Consumed 'em all in trade form and am ready for the next course!
Animal Man #29 (DC): Jumped off a while ago. Wondering if it's worth picking up seeing as it's the last issue and all. Love Lemire's cover:
Animal Man #29
Batman and Aquaman #29 (DC): Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason continue to deliver the darkest of the Dark Knight books–and now, apparently, the wettest.
Suicide Squad #29 (DC): Hasn't been as good as I had hoped it'd be with Kindt in command. Riding out his run, anyway.
Wonder Woman #29 (DC): It's no surprise that this is the only New 52 book I've stuck with–without missing an issue–from #1. It's no myth: Brian Azzarello has made a monthly living of being good. Of drawing out the story, sure, but of being good, nevertheless.
A Voice in the Dark #5 (Image): Well, I certainly didn't celebrate #4. (Check out my review here.) What I have celebrated, however, is the potential that Larime Taylor has shown–especially in a terrific #2. Here, I'm hoping to see more than a return to form: I'm hoping to see improved pacing. This book desperately needs to cut to the chase–and draw some blood in the process.
A Voice in the Dark #5
Fuse #2 (Image): #1 was an offer I could easily refuse–not re-Fuse, mind you. Leaning toward leaving it on the shelf.
Lazarus #7 (Image): #6 was terrific–as always. In it, Rucka and Lark build some serious tension, which neither slacks nor snaps. It's no wonder that Lazarus was our #7 book of 2013.
Sex Criminals #5 (Image): #4 was a bit of a rebound from a not-so-good #3, which was our Biggest Dis(appointment) of November 2013. I'm going to go one more round and see what happens. Let's call this my having faith in Fraction. Sure, he's a mad god; he's an effing oversexed overlord! But when he's good, he's damn good. If Fraction's big three books were a menage a trois–ain't they, though?–Sex Criminals would be on the bottom–and loving it, no doubt.
Zero #6 (image): With an arc in the books, er, trades, Zero—our #8 book of 2013–gets back to business with Vanesa Del Rey (artist on BOOM!'s quick Hit) bringing Ales Kot's vision to life. OK, not going to lie: still not too sure how I feel about how #5 ended. I mean, aliens? Really? Going to have to trust my man Kot on this one.
Zero #6
All-New Ghost Rider #1 (Marvel): My only real exposure to Tradd Moore has been Zero #2, which is my favorite issue of the series thus far. Honesty: I don't give a boo about Ghost Rider; I'm grabbing this to get a little Moore. We'll see if the little'll turn into a lot soon enough.
All-New Ghost Rider #1
Avengers World #4 (Marvel): The series has been mostly blah. Started off well enough, but it seems to have fallen into its "bigger" trap, leaving me asking, "What in the world?" Consider how much bigger my bag promises to be this week, this one might find itself displaced.
Daredevil #1 (Marvel): Speaking of being displaced: time to see what Waid and Samnee have in store for comidom's newest San Franciscan.
Ms. Marvel #2 (Marvel): I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed #1. Reminded me of my initial experience with Miles Morales and how well Brian Michael Bendis handled–and sold–the character in the face of controversy. In this case, I'm hoping that Wilson and Alphona can keep Kamala out of the editorial web that ultimately ensnared Miles.
Ms. Marvel #2
Uncanny X-Men #19 (Marvel): Don't judge me.
Winter Soldier: The Bitter March #2 (Marvel): Probably not. I didn't really care for the first one. And after Remender's Deadly Class #2, I've pretty well given up hope that he can deliver something that interests me.
X-Men #12 (Marvel): OK. Now you may judge me. You know, the series started off on such a nostalgic note, and I bought right into it. Felt like the X-book I had been waiting for since coming back to comics. Then came the momentum busting Battle of the Atom. Since then, the damn thing's been a bit of a mess. I'll ride out this storyline and decide from there.
Curse #3 (BOOM!): My curse: being unable to quit on a mini if I'm at least two issues in–even if I really don't care very much about it. That pretty well describes this series for me.
Harbinger #0.2014 (Valiant): Everything you've wanted to know about the Bleeding Monk but were afraid to ask.
Harbinger #0.2014
Letter 44 #5 (Oni Press): Still loving President Blades, and right now that's all that matters to me.
Shadowman #16 (Valiant): A monthly mystery: I don't care a lick about any of the characters and I'm often vexed by all the voodoo; but I still like it. A major selling point: Roberto De La Torre's art. It really suits Peter Milligan's turn on the book.
The Sixth Gun #39 (Oni Press): I'm almost caught up! I've got three more issues to rock out. Know what? There's no reason why I shouldn't read through them tonight. There you go: I'm going to read them tonight; and I will read this one first. How's that? Oh, and, umm, just in case you didn't know already: it's good. Really good. As I've mentioned in recent posts: the team of Bunn and Hurtt will go down as one of the greats of the modern era–maybe even of all time–because of the terrific work they've done on The Sixth Gun.
The Sixth Gun #39
X-O Manowar #23 (Valiant): Has been a solid read from the get-go. Aric's another one of my favorite characters, and Venditti's shown a great command of his character in and out of the armor.
Avery's Pick of the Week
Scribblenauts Unmasked: Crisis of Imagination #3 (DC): My daughter has enjoyed the first two issues well enough. By "enjoyed" I mean "not torn the covers off yet."
That about does it I&Nmates!
A Voice in the Dark, Alex + Ada, Alex Maleev, Avatar, Avengers World, Batman and Two-Face, BOOM!, Braden Lamb, Brian Azzarello, Brian Michael Bendis, Brian Wood, Chris Bachalo, Chris Samnee, Cliff Chiang, Colin Lorimer, Curse, Daredevil, Dark Horse, DC Comics, Doug Braithwaite, Extinction Parade, Frank Barbiere, Image, James Asmus, Jonathan Hickman, Jonathan Luna, Joshua Hale Fialkov, Kris Anka, Larime Taylor, Mark Waid, Marvel, Matt Kindt, Max Brooks, Michael Moreci, Ming Doyle, Minotaur, Nick Spencer, Patrick Gleason, Peter J. Tomasi, Quantum and Woody, Raulo Caceres, Riley Rossmo, Ryan North, Sarah Vaughn, Shelli Paroline, Skyman, The Bunker, The Midas Flesh, The White Suits, Tim Daniel, Uncanny X-Men, Unity, Wonder Woman, X-Men
The only forecast worth a damn:
Skyman #2 (Dark Horse): My interest in the book has been ramped up not by #1 so much as learning more about Joshua Hale Fialkov as a writer through his book The Bunker from Oni Press, which came out in print last week. Yeah, so, suddenly I'm like "Sky's the limit!" for this one.
The White Suits #1 (Dark Horse): The new one from Frank J. Barbiere–writer of the underwhelming Five Ghosts, which I dropped after #2–is described as "violent noir," which is right up my alley; so I'll pick it up.
Batman and Two-Face #28 (DC): Best Batman of the bunch? Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason's Batman, biatch! OK, so, it's not Mind MGMT; very few books are. But it is Batman: it sounds like, looks like, and feels like Batman–and that's what's important, isn't it? The turn with Two-Face has been a fun one, and it ends here.
Batman and Two-Face #28
Wonder Woman #28 (DC): The only New 52 book I've been on from the get-go. Remarkably consistent, drawing more from myth as we go along. Bring on the Minotaur!
A Voice in the Dark #4 (Image): We were lucky enough to receive a preview copy from Larime Taylor a couple of weeks back. My review–and assessment of the series–can be found here.
Alex + Ada #4 (Image): If I had more time, I would've written up a Scottlight On post for #3–a very positive Scottlight On post. I loved it: the dialogue, the absence of dialogue; the composition of balance, the language of juxtaposition; the slow simmer, the tempered tone; the spirit of Asimov, the sword of Damocles. Very much looking forward to what Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn have programmed for us this time around.
Alex + Ada #4
Avengers World #3 (Marvel): Certainly isn't a must read, but hasn't been bad. Certainly worth another issue.
Daredevil #36 (Marvel): The end–for now. We know where it's going from here, yet I wonder where it's going from here. From Hell's Kitchen to Hells Angels? Is DD gonna chill on Devil's Peak? Or drink from the Devil's Punchbowl?
Uncanny X-Men #17 (Marvel): This isn't a good sign: I don't really remember what happened in #16. Then again, maybe it's the sign I've been waiting for all along. Maybe I should just be done with this book once and for all and put my four bucks toward something I won't whine about every damn month. Hmm. Maybe save up for Rucka's Cyclops book out in May.
X-Men #11 (Marvel): I swore after #10 that I was done. That's three times after only ten issues! Sounds about right.
Curse #2 (BOOM!): I wasn't overly impressed with #1. Figure I'll give it another shot.
Extinction Parade #5 (Avatar): I have an idea: let's marry Max Brooks's writing with Alex Maleev's artwork. That'd be something! As it is, this is a tolerable exploration of the relationship between otherwise intolerable vampires and zombies brought to the page in the typical Avatar style.
The Midas Flesh #3 (BOOM!): #2 was one of our Top 5 Books of January! Our needle's pointing due Ryan North!
The Midas Flesh #3
Quantum and Woody #8 (Valiant): James Asmus is keeping it crazy in his little corner of the Valiant Universe. Always good for a laugh.
Unity #4 (Valiant): Outside of Mind MGMT, this is where Matt Kindt's clearly most comfortable. And with Kindt's Rai reboot on the way, we'll see just how comfortable. Makes all the sense in the world that Valiant would be the best fit for him: he gets to remodel the house instead of simply moving the furniture around.
My daughter now expects a "present" every time I come home from the comic store. Instead of just grabbing something off the shelf willy-nilly, I'm going in with a plan. I'm calling it…
Avery's Pick of the Week:
Scribblenauts Unmasked: Crisis of Imagination #2 (DC): There's no doubt about it: Avery loves her superheroes. While flipping through #1, however, she seemed to like the little villains the most. I'm in trouble.
Scribblenauts Unmasked: Crisis of Imagination #2
A Voice in the Dark, Alex + Ada, All-New X-Men, Archer & Armstrong, Astro City, Avatar, BOOM!, Brent Eric Anderson, Brian Hurtt, Brian Michael Bendis, Chris Bachalo, Chris Samnee, Clayton Henry, Cullen Bunn, Curse, Daredevil, Dark Horse, DC Comics, Department of Monsterology, Di Amorim, Ed Brubaker, Egos, Fred Van Lente, Garth Ennis, God Is Dead, Gordon Rennie, Gus Storms, Harbinger, Image, Imagine Agents, Indestructible, Jeff Kline, Jonathan Hickman, Jonathan Luna, Joshua Dysart, Kurt Busiek, Kurtis J. Wiebe, Larime Taylor, Mark Waid, Marvel, Matt Kindt, Michael DiPascale, Michael Moreci, Mike Costa, Miracleman, Oni Press, P.J. Holden, Patrick Zircher, Rat Queens, Renegade Arts, Roc Upchurch, Rover Red Charlie, Sarah Vaughn, Skyman, Steve Epting, Stuart Immonen, Stuart Moore, Suicide Squad, The Sixth Gun, Uncanny X-Men, Unity, Valiant, Velvet, Vertigo
And by "narrowing down," I clearly mean this:
Skyman #1 (Dark Horse): It's on my radar. Don't know the character; don't know the creators–but I do know Dark Horse, our 2013 Publisher of the Year.
Astro City #8 (DC/Vertigo): #7 was no small Victory. It was very, very good. Bold statement of the week: Kurt Busiek's the best storyteller in the DC stable. Is anyone even close?
Astro City #8
Suicide Squad #27 (DC): Kindt has revealed that nothing lasts Forever–including his time on Suicide Squad. I appreciate what he's done; but when he's done, so am I.
Indestructible #2 (IDW): There was something interesting–though not nearly indestructible–about the first one. Leaning toward passing on it. I mean, look at this list, for goodness sake! I can't buy everything, folks!
A Voice in the Dark #3 (Image): From Larime Taylor's mouth to our eyes. Truly remarkable. #2 was a compelling ask-questions-first-shoot-later follow-up to a dangerously drawn-out, extra-sized first issue. Expectations have crept up a notch.
Alex + Ada #3 (Image): Most of all, I love the tone of the book. There's a sincere tension that's undeniable–and beautiful.
Egos #1 (Image): Worth a shot, I suppose.
Rat Queens #4 (Image): Every page is infested with rattitude! Wiebe and Upchurch gleefully give us a mischief of grrls, a swarm of snarky sword swingers doing their very best to make it in a man's world! It's not much more than that, really; but it doesn't need to be, does it? Everyone needs a book like this in his or her bag.
Velvet #3 (Image): Bit of a slow build, sure, but Brubaker can take all the time he needs; I'll be right here with him, Steve Epting, and their gorgeously cinematic and super smooth Velvet.
All-New X-Men #21 (Marvel): Well, it certainly seems like all of my complaining about the unevenness of Bendis's writing has finally caught up to me. OK. No, it hasn't.
Daredevil #35 (Marvel): Loved #34. It's a "best of," if you think about it: everything that Waid's done well over the course of the series is played up to some effect in the issue. I know major changes are on the way; I just hope that Waid's approach to handling Daredevil's duality and crafting relationships–through lively dialogue, especially (something Bendis has struggled with on the X-titles)–is not one of them.
Miracleman #1 (Marvel): I have no idea what to expect with this. I've never read any Miracleman–or Marvelman for that matter–but I'm certainly willing to give it a try. Might take a miracle to keep me around, though. Seriously: have you seen this list?!
Uncanny X-Men #16 (Marvel): As a whole, it's been more engaging than All-New X-Men. Yeah, that's not saying much.
Archer & Armstrong #17 (Valiant): One of our Top Ten titles of 2013! Can't wait to see what Van Lente and co. have in store for us this year! If it's more of the same, all the better!
Archer & Armstrong #17
Harbinger #20 (Valiant): Dysart's doing with Harbinger what I wish Bendis was doing with his X-books: writing an effin' solid team book.
Unity #3 (Valiant): If I'm being honest, I'm keeping on 'cause of Kindt. I see more potential here than in any of his Marvel and DC work, which, as a whole, has been pretty blah even as he's brought his unique narrative style into the mainstream mix.
Curse #1 (BOOM!): Another werewolf story? I hope not. I mean, Six-Gun Gorilla wasn't just another gorilla story, was it? No, not even close. Time to go BOOM!
Curse #1
Imagine Agents #4 (BOOM!): This rounds out the series–which I haven't started reading yet. Oops.
God Is Dead #5 (Avatar): Definitely on the dropping block. My interest is mostly dead–especially as Hickman's participation in the creative process comes to its inevitable end.
Rover Red Charlie #2 (Avatar): As I mentioned in a prompt post-read tweet concerning an apocalyptic #1: "some really ruff moments I [couldn't] seem to shake." Poor doggies. It's a real man-beat-man world, innit?
The Sixth Gun #37 (Oni Press): One of the best monthlies around. Writing and art of the highest caliber from Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt, respectively.
Department of Monsterology #4 (Renegade): A monstrous surprise! I've really enjoyed this series so far. Sad to see it come to a close. Gosh, I hope Gordon Rennie and P.J. Holden have something else in store for us!
Department of Monsterology #4

Little Mix will play Southampton next summer (and here's how you can get hold of tickets)
Little Mix to play summer show in Southampton next year
By Emily Liddell @edailyecho Apprentice reporter
WORLD-famous girl group Little Mix are to headline Southampton next year.
Pop superstars Little Mix are taking their unmissable live show on the road next year with their 21-date summer 2020 tour.
The pop group have announced dates for their UK tour next year, including Southampton's Ageas Bowl on Thursday, July 2.
The tour will see Little Mix perform some of their greatest hits including 'Woman Like Me', 'Touch', 'Shout Out to My Ex', 'Black Magic' and 'Wings'.
Tickets go on sale at 9am Thursday, November 28 from cuffeandtaylor.com and livenation.co.uk
Speaking about the tour, the group said: "Performing live is our favourite thing to do as a band, we love it.
"Our last summer tour in 2018 was one of our favourites ever, so we can't wait for some more brilliant outdoor shows next year.
"We want everyone to come party with us in the sunshine."
Little Mix have firmly established their reputation as one of the most phenomenal groups around.
Alongside massive tours of Europe, Australia, Japan and the US, the group have just completed their mammoth LM5 Arena Tour which took in cities across Europe, the UK and Ireland including an amazing five sold out dates at London's O2 Arena.
Since 2011, Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall have not only established themselves as one of British pop's brightest acts, but as a global pop phenomenon.
They have fully cemented their status as the world's biggest girl band, with the quartet asserting dominance in the charts album after album.
They have sold more than 50 million records worldwide, collected more than 17 million Spotify listeners, received more than 3 billion Youtube views, and collated 12 billion streams worldwide. Record sales have seen them notch up a total of four UK No.1 singles, four platinum-selling albums and nine platinum selling singles, surpassing a record previously held by the Spice Girls.
Their 2016 album 'Glory Days' was the biggest selling album by a female group this millennium in the UK, alongside being named the longest-reigning Top 40 album for a girl group ever.

Q: How do I fuzzy find all files containing specific text using ripgrep and fzf and open it VSCode I have the following command to fuzzy find files in the command line and to open the selected file in VSCode.:
fzf --print0 -e | xargs -0 -r code

Now I want to be able to search also file contents for a string. I am able to find the searched string in the command line:
rg . | fzf --print0 -e

but now it does not work anymore to open the file in VSCode using this command:
rg . | fzf --print0 -e | xargs -0 -r code

because to VSCode is passed a file name which contains the file name itself and the search string which is of course an empty file.
How can I combine to two above commands to pass the file name to VSCode which contains the searched string?

A: The --vimgrep option to rg returns just what the doctor ordered. That's what I used in the vscode extension issue request you put in:
https://github.com/rlivings39/vscode-fzf-quick-open/commit/101a6d8e44b707d11e661ca10aaf37102373c644
It returns data like:
$ rg --vimgrep
extension.ts:5:5:let fzfTerminal: vscode.Terminal | undefined = undefined;
extension.ts:6:5:let fzfTerminalPwd: vscode.Terminal | undefined = undefined;

Then you can cut out the first 3 fields and pass them to code -g:
rg --vimgrep --color ansi | fzf --ansi --print0 | cut -z -d : -f 1-3 | xargs -0 -r code -g
