Q: Removing 2 (multiple) matching classes in one regex I done now but i have to call 2 times .removeClass() functions
How can I merge this to find the result in one regex call?
HTML :

jQuery :
$('div')
  .removeClass(function(i,c){var m=c.match(/one-[a-z]{0,5}/);return m?m[0]:m;})
  .removeClass(function(i,c){var m=c.match(/two-[a-z]{0,5}/);return m?m[0]:m;});

Demo : http://jsbin.com/umoded/1/edit

Find contains class name in multiple classes
Remove matching class with regex

A: Combine both expressions in one, use g, and join the matches:
  var m = c.match(/(one-[a-z]{0,5}|two-[a-z]{0,5})/g);
  return m ? m.join(' ') : m;

http://jsfiddle.net/ExplosionPIlls/mnYpB/

A: from api.jquery.com:

More than one class may be removed at a time, separated by a space, from the set of matched elements, like so:
  $('p').removeClass('myClass yourClass')

-->
.removeClass(function(i,c){
    var m=c.match(/one-[a-z]{0,5}/);
    var n=c.match(/two-[a-z]{0,5}/);
    return m+" "+n;});

Meet Kyle Hagerty, an urban farmer in Sacramento. Kyle grows his crops and then gives them away for free at his farm stand located in front of his house! We think that's pretty amazing! Learn more about Kyle and what he's up to at East Sac Farms.
Kyle: Well right now we're kind of in a transitional phase from our winter crops to our spring and summer crops. I'm managing and extending the season of some of the cool weather crops by adding some shade cloths. I added some over our chard. Today I am also working on building our new trellis system for our tomatoes as well as working with our compost and improving and revitalizing the soil to get it ready for planting of the summer's crop. And also caring for all of the new veggie starts for our spring and summer garden.
Kyle: I'd say my favorite thing is having the freedom to grow or try and grow whatever I want and knowing the food that I'm producing is completely safe and grown sustainably. I also just love being able to be outside and working with the earth makes me feel happy and alive.
Kyle: Well, we actually have a farm stand, a neighborhood farm stand where every Tuesday we give away all of our produce that we grow here and we just accept donations. We don't sell anything, we either consume it or preserve it ourselves or give it away at our farm stand. It's all donations only. It's everything from fruits and vegetables to plants, vegetable starts like tomato starts and raspberry plants. Right now we are doing it every other week. It's an urban farm so everything we grow is in our backyard. We harvest it and then wheel it out to the front yard where our farm cart is. The most fun part of it is we invite people to the backyard to see where it all grows. There's another way I'd say we give back, we also do Farmstead Suppers, which is the farm to fork dinner series we started last year. We host the dinner here and we use produce from our farm and anything we use that isn't grown here is donated by other farmers and producers making everything farm to fork. All of the proceeds from the first dinner last fall were donated to Edible Sacramento High, an urban farm on the campus at Sacramento High School. The proceeds for the next dinner this spring will go to the Food Literacy Center of Sacramento.
Kyle: Growing up I was always really interested in plants and watching them grow with my mom in the garden. I've always had an interest in plants and over the years I think my interest has evolved and along with my other passion for cooking, both evolved together. When I was eighteen I planted my first couple of tomato plants and each year it seems like my vegetable garden would grow larger and larger until I moved here where I have a very large empty back yard and was able to create my urban farm. Also just last year the city of Sacramento passed the urban faming ordinance. Where people can sell the produce they grow on their property but we just decided to give it away for free to help the sense of community and because we really enjoy doing it.
Kyle: I spend a lot of my time outside, hiking or camping or fishing. I also enjoy biking, snowboarding and skateboarding. And I do a lot of photography with antique cameras that I restore from estate sales. I pretty much just enjoy doing anything fun and I'm always up for new adventures.
Kyle: I'd say take pride in what you grow and make it your own. Don't choose a crop or a variety of tomato just because you know it's going to be easy to grow or has large yields or a long shelf life. Choose a variety that people are going to taste and say wow and want more. Choose something that you can grow that is going to make you proud, something you can grow and be proud of. The reward is the joy of actually doing it and watching it grow. If you can enjoy that then you can be a farmer because that is what it's about.


Love this!!! I may have passed out in the drive if I went! Sounds like it was worth it!!!
And there's the Suicide table where many a man lost his fortune and his life.
Great post! I love the architecture of the old buildings. I might need to visit Virginia City. Don't know why Rorie was so scared of that road, though. It was only at 6,100 feet elevation. Our house in Littleton, CO, was at 6,300 feet, and we're still alive to talk about it!
Hi Bart, how are ya? Went there with my dearly departed mom,dad, and sis in 1980. Somewhere I have pics of my sis and I in period costumes. Yes it sure conjured up images of Bonanza!

Fatherhood - with Joel Biermann
By: Dr. Joel D. Biermann
(Includes subtitles in English & Spanish) - Fatherhood is more than providing half the genetic material at conception; it's being there for the long haul. In Fatherhood with Joel Biermann the Concordia Seminary professor and dad relates how being a father is a demanding pursuit with a heavenly goal-raising kids who know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
Few things in life can be more intimidating that taking on the role of fatherhood. Whether it's a planned event or one of life's little surprises it demands our full attention and a commitment to put our all into it. This Men's NetWork Bible study addresses the challenges in being loving and Christ-like fathers to our families, especially in a society that frequently portrays dads as buffoons and ill-equipped to care for themselves, much less their kids.
Full of Scriptural insights and personal observations won from his own role as father and husband, Biermann offers help to would-be-, step-, divorced, single or widowed dads, who want to make the most of their lives with their families. To make a big point, Biermann goes back to the little Greek word telos, meaning "goal," "purpose" or "objective." Even as Christ's focus or goal was to accomplish His Father's mission on earth for our salvation, so should our objective be to become Christ-like dads for the raising and well-being of our families.
Being a good father isn't an impossible dream, but it does take staying the course, especially in a world where sacrifice and upright character are often not highly valued. Difficult as the task may be, there is always hope. With God at the helm, all fathers-whether rookies or veterans-can know the adventure of fatherhood as one that is full of promise and possibility for them and their families.

10 Minutes till Bedtime (Board book)
By Peggy Rathmann
On Our Shelves Now - Click to see location, time, and stock details
(KBOARD-)
Bedtime routines have never been so hilarious! Say good night with this fun read-aloud from the creator of Good Night, Gorilla.
The countdown to bedtime is about to begin when a family of hamsters arrives at the front door. "All aboard," shouts the child's pet hamster, and it's off to the kitchen for a snack, to the bathroom for toothbrushing, to the bedroom for a story. And just as the child starts to read, more hamsters stream through the front door and the escapades accelerate as the countdown continues. Now in a sturdy board book format, this favorite bedtime book will stand up to many story times, naptimes, and bedtimes.
Caldecott-medalist Peggy Rathmann was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and grew up in the suburbs with two brothers and two sisters.
"In the summer we lolled in plastic wading pools guzzling Kool-Aid. In the winter we sculpted giant snow animals. It was a good life."
Ms. Rathmann graduated from Mounds View High School in New Brighton, Minnesota, then attended colleges everywhere, changing her major repeatedly. She eventually earned a B.A. in psychology from the University of Minnesota.
"I wanted to teach sign language to gorillas, but after taking a class in signing, I realized what I'd rather do was draw pictures of gorillas."
Ms. Rathmann studied commercial art at the American Academy in Chicago, fine art at the Atelier Lack in Minneapolis, and children's-book writing and illustration at the Otis Parsons School of Design in Los Angeles.
"I spent the first three weeks of my writing class at Otis Parsons filching characters from my classmates' stories. Finally, the teacher convinced me that even a beginning writer can create an original character if the character is driven by the writer's most secret weirdness. Eureka! A little girl with a passion for plagiarism! I didn't want anyone to know it was me, so I made the character look like my sister."
The resulting book, Ruby the Copycat, earned Ms. Rathmann the "Most Promising New Author" distinction in Publishers Weekly's 1991 annual Cuffie Awards. In 1992 she illustrated Bootsie Barker Bites for Barbara Bottner, her teacher at Otis Parsons.
A homework assignment produced an almost wordless story, Good Night, Gorilla, inspired by a childhood memory.
"When I was little, the highlight of the summer was running barefoot through the grass, in the dark, screaming. We played kick-the-can, and three-times-around-the-house, and sometimes we just stood staring into other people's picture windows, wondering what it would be like to go home to someone else's house."
That story, however, was only nineteen pages long, and everyone agreed that the ending was a dud. Two years and ten endings later, Good Night, Gorilla was published and recognized as an ALA Notable Children's Book for 1994.
The recipient of the 1996 Caldecott Medal, Officer Buckle and Gloria, is the story of a school safety officer upstaged by his canine partner.
"We have a videotape of my mother chatting in the dining room while, unnoticed by her or the cameraman, the dog is licking every poached egg on the buffet. The next scene shows the whole family at the breakfast table, complimenting my mother on the delicious poached eggs. The dog, of course, is pretending not to know what a poached egg is. The first time we watched that tape we were so shocked, we couldn't stop laughing. I suspect that videotape had a big influence on my choice of subject matter."
Ms. Rathmann lives and works in San Francisco, in an apartment she shares with her husband, John Wick, and a very funny bunch of ants.

As I sit down to write this review it is four in the morning at my current location. I'm tired, itchy and have just spent the last nine hours in the best DLC released by Bethesda Games to date for their latest entry in the Fallout series. After two mediocre entries, we finally have what feels like a proper expansion on our hands. Though pretty good, it is too not immune from annoyances.
You start off this piece of DLC (As you always do with ones in the modern Fallout games.) by tuning in to a radio signal from Valentines Detective Agency in Diamond City, I really wish they'd come up with a better way to get these things to start. After a brief stop off at the office and picking up Nick to come along on the journey (Seriously, you need to bring him to enjoy the piece fully.), you set off on the trail of a girl who went missing in the main map.
Sure enough, she tore off to join in a new community on a mysterious and isolated island off the coast of Maine. Upon arriving, you're called upon to fight some monsters creeping out of the fog that cloaks the landscape even in day time (Reminds me of The Mist by Frank Darabont.) and then are sent off to explore. Sure, Bethesda gives you a new companion, but its best with Nick.
The landscape here lives up to their claim of being the biggest they've ever built. I can't know for certain. But I am fairly sure that it dwarfs the previous map created for the Shivering Isles.
Narrative wise, the story is far more classic Fallout than either Fallout 3 or 4 ever were in their main quests. Here, the developers really went out of their way to show that no faction is totally good or evil and made an impressively complex scenario for the player to have an impact on.
Though most of the game was great, things do slow down a bit towards the end of the main campaign. I won't spoil it totally, but let's just say that a page is taken from the vanilla games main quest and you'll be immensely frustrated trying to solve the puzzle laid out on your own.
Once that dreck is done, things come to a close in a conclusion I am just now beginning to explore. I don't know what exactly will happen, but based on what I've seen so far I have no doubt that the ending will be just as solid as the rest of this downloadable entry turned out to be.
The Good: The atmosphere, length and narrative are really well done in this entry. The shortness of Automatron and the emptiness of Wasteland Workshop this is not. I know this may seem silly to say, but at some points during the campaign I felt reminded of design from Obsidian, truly.
The Bad: A late stage puzzle sequence slows the action to a crawl and will prove to be more than frustrating for more than a few players. When it comes up don't bother trying to do it on your own. Go to the internet like a modern day games player and use YouTube to finish it.
The Verdict: And allow me to use a Boston accent whilst I say this, Fah Habah is the best DLC currently available for Fallout 4. If you have the season pass, play it first. If you don't and don't care about achievements, you can skip Automatron and Wasteland Workshop and just get this.

10 Best Gamecube Games
Gamecube has a huge collection of good games, for today we'll look at the best Gamecube games. Gamecube games released over a decade ago captured many gamer's hearts. The video game console didn't sell well, but it brought us one of the best exclusive games by Nintendo. The game collection features incredible third party titles and legendary remakes. Below are the best Gamecube games ever made.
Mario Kart Double Dash
Double Dash is one of the best-selling Mario Kart game in the entire series. Since its inception, Double Dash has been a fan's favorite game and gained critical acclaim. Just like the other Mario Kart games, Double Dash features Kart racing and introduces a dual character system. The new character system for Kart racing is best applicable in the Multi-player mode. If you're a Mario Kart fan, the Double Dash is the game for you.
F-Zero GX
Ultimately, the best F-Zero game. The game has incredibly fast racing tracks that will keep your adrenaline high. This game is perhaps one of the most difficult Gamecube game in the entire franchise. You have to master the art of racing through in the video game to play this game effectively. The tracks have loops, twists, and turns, so you need to adapt fast if you dream of becoming a pro in this game.
Skies Of Arcadia Legends
This is one of the best Japanese Role-Playing games that you can ever find. Initially, this game was a Sega Dreamcast but later on ported to the Gamecube. The game came with additional content that the original lacked. It was a remake of the original, and the gameplay was even better. Also, you have the option of selecting whether to play the easy or hard mode. Skies of Arcadia Legends added several storylines apart from the original ones and made the game even better.
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Sanity's Requiem follows a compelling storyline with a perfect ending. This game doesn't follow the traditional rules of gameplay like other Gamecube games. It is one of the rare Gamecube games that defy the genre rules. It's an adventure-like game, and you follow through the life of a heroic woman who looks into detail on how her grandfather died. You can control up to 12 characters in the entire game, something which is not common among many video games. Sanity's Requiem is one game that shouldn't miss in your collection of Gamecube games.
Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess
Many Nintendo fans became introduced to the Wii by this game. It has mechanics borrowed from The Wind Waker, so you know the reason why it's high on our list. The setting of the game is a bit different from the other games in the series. The Twilight Princess takes a darker direction in the storyline based on Ocarina of Time. It features mysterious snow peak ruins, well-designed dungeons, and roller coaster tracks. The storyline of the game has a perfect ending making The Twilight Princess one of the best Gamecube games.
When Ubisoft decided to do a reboot of Prince of Persia, not many were for the idea. The critics were partly right because not many classic reboots do well after all. However, when Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time came out, many were amazed at how brilliant it was. It had completely transformed the classic into a new iconic video game. This game became more responsive than the original and had incredibly smooth animation. The prince became more agile and could jump and leap everywhere he wanted. The game mechanics focused more on making the acrobatics real.
Without a doubt, this is the best game in the entire Resident Evil franchise. It introduced the third-person aiming system, which was quite a risky move but lived up to many players expectations. It became the first successful third-person shooter game, and many other games followed its path later on. Resident Evil 4 reinvented the series and the entire franchise by changing the genre to action-horror. It has managed to remain a top-notch video game after all these years. The game has great graphics and mechanics, making it one of the best Gamecube games. Resident Evil 4 is an adrenaline-filled game and a bit challenging, especially for amateurs.
Ardent Nintendo fans will remember when the first Super Smash Bros game came out. It was a fun to play game with great character design and decorative schemes. However, when Super Smash Bros Melee came out 2 years later, it completely outdid its successor. Melee is well balanced and has better control schemes. The graphics were incredible and made it one of the best fighting game in the entire franchise. The game introduced single-player and multi-player modes with well-designed stages that add more fun to the game. Overall this game offers great improvement and is much better than the original.
Wind Waker is the best Zelda game when compared to the other Zelda games. Although a majority of fans dislike Zelda games, Wind Waker is an outstanding game. Wind Waker has its setting a hundred years after the Ocarina of Time events. It brings a whole new design to the game, completely new graphics, and an amazing presentation. The gameplay is quite different from the previous Zelda games. It transformed the whole virtual world from the green forest setting to a vast open blue ocean. The introduction of Cel-shading revolutionized the game. The storyline, visuals, and colorful characters make The Wind Waker a top-notch game.
When it was first released, it was met with a lot of criticism. The idea of having it as a first-person shooter game did not augur well with most gamers. Despite the skepticism, Metroid Prime became one of the best gamecube games ever released. Even the fans that were skeptical about it admitted they were dead wrong about this game. It is the best Metroid game and has stood the test of time. The gameplay was excellent, and the graphics did not disappoint either. Metroid Prime introduced 3D mechanics into the Nintendo Classic Franchise redefining the entire game.

YES , we will be there in August , but still hard to move the '41 even today.
According to the weather forecast, it should all be gone by tomorrow at the latest. It is too bad that the Hostetler's Hudson Museum will be auctioned off before the meet. It was a great museum and I have enjoyed several visits to it.
The trip to Auburn will be very interesting, the museums there are first class. I would use back roads to get there, not US 30. There are many interesting towns to drive through on the route from Elkhart to Auburn. I would also do the drive and not take the bus. I enjoy driving my car on the Indiana 2 lane highways.

One Missed Call
By Ryan Turek
Opening Friday, January 4th
Shannyn Sossamon as Beth Raymond
Edward Burns as Jack Andrews
Ana Claudia Talancón as Taylor Anthony
Ray Wise as Ted Summers
Azura Skye as Leann Cole
Directed by Eric Valette
I wish some form of cinematic cancer upon "One Missed Call." Not those involved, mind you. That would be mean. I'm talking about the very film itself. Maybe a sort of celluloid tumor – of the David Cronenberg variety – that would corrupt prints of this abortion allowing them to easily boil before the projector's bulb prompting audience members to leave the theater, get a refund or see an entirely different film (it's Oscar season, take your pick). The year 2008 has barely begun to open its eyes and already it has a solid contender for worst horror film of the year.
Based on Takashi Shimizu's lukewarm 2003 effort "Chakushin ari," this remake maintains a familiar concept for those out there who have seen the original or, hell, any other supernatural film from Asia. Cell phone users (i.e. everyone) get a phone call. When they answer, it's not grandma calling to check in. Instead it's the ominous sounds from the moment of the cell owner's impending death. Regardless of what one does to prevent it, they die anyway. However, the film can't decide if the deaths will play out by seemingly tragic accident (ala "Final Destination") or "straight-up murder by unseen spirit" (it leans toward the latter). Whatever force is at work it's taking note of the numbers stored away on the victim's phone and is subsequently targeting those people. So, a fatal chain reaction is at work here (like "The Ring") and this leads to a laughably dramatic sequence where one poor victim-to-be is surrounded by her friends who hound her to remove their numbers from her phone.
Beth – played with total ennui by Sossamon – is drawn into this silly web when her friends start dropping like Sprint subscribers. Only one pal, Taylor (Talancón from the far superior "Alone With Her"), seems to randomly know the score and brings everyone up to speed in an overdramatic bit of exposition. With that out of the way, Beth and cop Jack Andrews (Ed Burns demonstrating an equal amount of ennui as his co-star) follow the breadcrumb trail of clues from one location to the next in an attempt to find the source of these malicious calls. Along the way, Andrew Klavan's script reaches for the utterly absurd by shoehorning in a subplot involving opportunistic television producer Ted Summers, represented by Ray Wise ("Twin Peaks," "Jeepers Creepers 2"). He's out to make Taylor – who has, by now, "missed a call" – the center of a broadcast in which someone will drive out the evil from her phone. What follows is one of the finest exorcisms of an inanimate object since Ted Levine gave an icebox the ol' "power of Christ compels you" shtick in Tobe Hooper's "The Mangler."
"One Missed Call" hints at a modicum of playfulness in its opening sequence, but it's not long before one finds the rest of the film rather lifeless, a pity since director Eric Valette demonstrated promise in "Malefique" (insiders tell us his hands were tied on this gig, so maybe he's not totally to blame). Oh, sure…there's plenty of eye candy on display. Don't get me wrong. But there are unintentional chuckles a-plenty such as when Jack tells Beth he's off to tell a little girl her mother is dead…even though the whole reason said girl hasn't spoken in some time is because she suffered a terrible ordeal and already presumed her mother was dead. Way to rub it in, Jack. And Sossamon's Beth frequently has flashbacks to her own childhood nearly every time she looks through a door peephole. We come to find her mom was a bit mean. Does this layer of detail ever converge with the present drama? Not really.
So, do you understand now the intelligence level "Call" is operating on? You see this film and you're swimming in a fairly shallow pond. It doesn't even go so far as to reflect on society's dependence on technology – at least "Pulse" kind of had that going for it. If the film has anything to say, it's that J-horror has run its course on our shores. Development on this picture should have halted the minute its brethren like "Dark Water" and "Pulse" reached the screen since the screams heard from movie-goers who saw the American "The Ring" have successively grown quieter with each J-horror remake. "One Missed Call" is a bitch-slap to the brain that leaves you whimpering.
It did leave me mortified in one respect: It made me realize three more films struck from Asian thrillers are on the way ("The Eye," "Shutter," "A Tale of Two Sisters"). None of them can be as disastrous as this sour start to the year. I hope. A review for a film like "Call" deserves an unimaginative, pun-filled wrap-up, so here you go: Avoid this "call" at all cost.

I wasn't counting the Showcase volumes, which is a dead line (Batman v. 6 was the last of them). That line saw plenty of BA material, including the Legion of Super-Heroes, Phantom Stranger, Brave and the Bold and arguably Enemy Ace. Yes, I would definitely count volumes 5 and 6 of Showcase Presents: Batman as "Bronze Age," and it's no surprise those are the only two I own. But even then, they followed the same pattern of starting with the Silver Age and working their way up to Bronze. Superman never made it that far as his Showcase line died with Vol. 4 (a crying shame, BTW: I bought and loved all of them).
The good news is the omni line will soon be ready to move to the Bronze Age of the Flash (another fave) and we've already got the JLA going. The bad news is I'll likely be in a retirement home before the Batman and Superman omnis get that far.

Superman Comic Books! / Superman! / RIP, Dick Siegel (1955-2018)
Started by TELLE - Last post by TELLE
Members of this forum might like to know that Dick Siegel has died. Siegel was a member here for many years, posting as Klar Ken T5477.
Dick often shared hints of his comic book writing projects here, and often discussed his work as an editor and writer for Weekly World News and National Enquirer. He had an extensive comics and film bio, besides his work as a journalist, humour writer, and pop culture historian.
Here is his IMDB page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0797000/bio
Here is a profile of Siegel from GQ, from around the time the Enquirer was seriously being considered for a Pulitzer because of their coverage of the John Edwards political scandal:
Edwards was the first major story the Enquirer broke online. "We're the last of the Mohicans in terms of discovering our Web site," Levine says. They caught Edwards at the Beverly Hilton after that week's paper locked; worried that Edwards would attempt to spin the story before next week's edition, they posted the story on the Web site on Tuesday morning.
The Enquirer's full-time Web staff consists of one guy. Dick Siegel is in his fifties, works out of a cubicle decorated with color rod comic-book covers from the '60s; the fact that he's an obvious pop-culture junkie ("I was able to write Fess Parker's obit, or 90 percent of it, off the top of my head, which is scary") makes him the ideal man to run the Enquirer's Web site, where Old Hollywood types—Natalie Wood, Ingrid Bergman—tend to get more hits than Justin Bieber and the Jersey Shore kids. (By way of illustration, he pulls up a recent blog post, sourced to Carrie Fisher's Twitter, about speed fiend eddie fisher.)
"My forte is not journalism," Siegel says. "I'd be fired. I had been working at the late, lamented Weekly World News. That was after my film jobs—I'd been an independent-film cinematographer. Really bad horror movies. Including one that I wrote, about zombies at a women's prison."
He tells me that the Weekly World News gig was good training for what he does now. You learned to write short stories, in AP style, even if they concerned the travails of Bat Boy, "and present them in a serious manner, even if the punch line was a joke."
But it makes sense that someone with Siegel's background wound up at the Enquirer. The tabs are a form of rogue pop culture. They're vehicles for celebrity adoration, but they burrow, termitelike, into the sanctioned narratives of American fame. They're camp—a form of fantasy that revels and resists. They're a comic-book, zombie-movie draft of Hollywood history, right down to the zingy sobriquets.
"It's like professional wrestling," Siegel says. "When we wrote about Tiger Woods's wife, we always described her as 'livid,' so now she's always 'livid Elin.' And Rielle Hunter is 'the New-Age Temptress.'"
Heroes and villains, in primary colors. "That's what separates the giant scandals from the everyday scandals," Levine says, explaining to me why Tiger Woods and Edwards, stepping out on his cancer-stricken wife, were tabloid rocket fuel. "If somebody is a hero and they do something unthinkable, something unconscionable, if the betrayal is so overwhelmingly dirty and sickening, that's what makes what we do."

DC did reprint some of the Bronze Age Batman stories in the last (the very last) Showcase Presents, Batman, no. 6, which came out 2 1/2 years ago, though I suppose it's arguable that these aren't Bronze Age but "In-between Eras Age", since the stories first appeared while DC's sales were in the doldrums of the early '70s, before things took off again in '75.

My favorite story was far and away The Car. It's about what happened to the big, green, car in Action #1 and what became of "Butch", the thug from the first story. It's definitely a Golden Age story. Written by Richard Donner, none the less! The best stories were the ones that didn't get all the media attention, IMO. Actionland was clearly a love letter to the Silver Age. Even the Brad Meltzer story was really good. If you can find it, I highly recommend it.

The date is April 20th, 2018. Two days ago, milestone issue Action Comics # 1000 came out, and brought with it the return of Superman's trunks. Every story in the issue makes it look natural and marvelous, like they were never gone at all- save the one drawn by Jim Lee, in my own opinion.
Lee should probably stick to the high collar. Everyone else, keep up the good work!

Say no to ballistic missile defence
Published in the "Globe and Mail"
Page A13
Washington's latest Star Wars project is a loose cannon that threatens worldpeace, says Senator Douglas Roche
The new ballistic missile defence (BMD) system, now under development in theUnited States, will severely alter international relations, destroy decadesof disarmament work, and tie Canada inexorably into ill-conceived U.S.military ambitions. Canada should say no to participating now -- before thenet closes on our options.
In hearings in the House of Commons' National Defence Committee and theForeign Affairs Committee on whether Canada should support such a defencesystem, witnesses have stated that BMD is the single most important issuefacing Canada-U.S. security arrangements. The missile system's Canadianproponents have insisted that "as the closest ally of the U.S., Canadashould unhesitatingly agree to participation."
What's missing from those who insist on participation, and see "a near totalabsence of any drawbacks to supporting BMD," is the ability to measure theglobal costs. Discussing ballistic missiles simply in terms of our relationswith the United States, where the issue itself is seldom framed outside ofpresidential campaign politics, is a dangerously narrow public debate. Make no mistake, the costs of deploying the BMD system will be high, notonly in terms of the $39-billion that the Washington-based Center forDefence Information says has already been spent, but in terms ofinternational stability. The project threatens to undo the whole structureof arms control agreements and inspection procedures built up over decades,substituting for them a doctrine of defence by the unilateral application ofU.S. might.
Foreign Affairs Minister Lloyd Axworthy testified on March 23 that thesecurity interests of Canada must be looked at through the perspective ofwhat can be done to strengthen the international disarmament regime. BMDundermines that regime.
First, the missile system project would violate the 1972 Anti-BallisticMissile (ABM) Treaty, which forbids a nation-wide missile defence system.The ABM is an essential part of the international arms control structure. Ithas long been recognized that constructing such national defence shields(leaving aside the improbability of their working -- and two recent BMDtests have failed) would spur opposing states to develop new offensiveweapons to circumvent defence systems. Thus arms races would keepaccelerating. Both Russia and China have warned that BMD deployment would bemet with greater deployment of nuclear warheads on their part. The U.S. recognizes that the project would violate the existing ABM Treatyand is therefore pushing for its renegotiation. Russia, suspecting changeswould propel the U.S. down a broader missile defence path, has, so far,adamantly refused. In a meeting last September with U.S. Deputy Secretary ofState Strobe Talbott, the Russian delegation claimed, "We are on thethreshold of disaster and a destruction of the whole arms controlframework."
The Americans, in response, have indicated that if Russia does not agree tochanges in the ABM treaty, Washington may simply abrogate it as not being inU.S. security interests. Although the ABM is a bilateral treaty between theUnited States and Russia, the predictable Chinese response to BMD would bedeployment of more ICBMs with greater sophistication, fueling an alreadyburgeoning arms race in Asia.
Second, the missile system project cannot be divorced from the other pillarof the international arms control structure -- the Non-Proliferation Treaty(NPT) currently under review by the international community. Should theUnited States proceed with BMD, and Russia and China respond with their ownbuildups, non-nuclear weapons states who are signatories of theNon-Proliferation Treaty will see this as a further violation of the NuclearWeapons States' obligation under the treaty to negotiate towards eliminatingnuclear weapons. The Non-Proliferation Treaty, which Canada has alwayschampioned, will be in ruins.
One member of the American arms-control delegation which met with Russianofficials in September on the BMD issue, Prof. Theodore Postol of theMassachusetts Institute of Technology, described the situation in chillingterms: "The Clinton Administration has put us on the path to an arms race. .. an international disaster of historic proportions." Yet military interests in the U.S. government have increasingly appliedpressure on Canada to participate in a North American-wide shield. Playingon the fears of a ballistic missile attack from some "rogue state," theyhave even conjured up the fantasy scenario of a North Korean missile attackagainst Montreal.
In fact, U.S. intelligence officials agree that an inter-continentalballistic missile is the least likely means by which a "rogue state" wouldattack. Such potential attackers would choose more unconventional means suchas smuggling bombs -- techniques that this missile defence system would bepowerless to stop.
Rather than supporting missile defence, Canada needs to emphasize that theresponse to the ballistic missile threat -- as much as there is one -- needsto be part of a broader concern for the international community. That's thepoint made by several NATO allies, particularly France. Canada must not onlyresist participating in the development of BMD but, as an ally of the UnitedStates, it must insist that the United States remains true to itsmultilateral commitments.
In spite of all efforts to reduce the number and political importance ofweapons of mass destruction, ballistic missile defence amounts to a renewedeffort to advance more sophisticated weaponry. Worse, it comes at a pivotalmoment as many of the world's nations prepare to argue for a reduction inthe number and saliency of weapons of mass destruction at the forthcomingNon-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference, starting on April 24. The U.S. will not make its decision to deploy BMD until at least this fall(on the eve of the U.S. presidential election). Now is the time for Canadato signal to our closest ally that nations must work together to halt thespread of missile technology, not unilaterally devise ways to protectthemselves from it.
Senator Douglas Roche, former Canadian ambassador for disarmament, is authorof the newly published Bread Not Bombs: A Political Agenda for SocialJustice.


"When I was 25 years of age I started to indulge in alcohol and became addicted.
When I was 47 years of age I was desperately unhappy and tried to commit suicide.
I contacted Patrick Connolly and he agreed to see me. After 2 sessions on analysis, I suddenly recalled the repressed memories from my childhood. Another 5 sessions saw me coming to terms with those memories and forgiving those who were involved.
Hypnosis for smoking. Hypnosis for anxiety & Depression.
In clinical trials, Hypnosis was the most effective method for the cessation of smoking. It comes ahead of all other methods by a huge margin, (almost three times as effective as the next best method). One or two sessions of Hypnotherapy is usually sufficient for smoking cessation.
Hypnosis is a process that is natural and safe. It is essentially a cognitive (thought) process. It involves focusing on a suggestion. By focusing on a suggestion hypnosis allows the suggestion to enter the sub-conscious. Suggestions, much as "You are a natural healthy non-smoker, you are happy to be a non-smoker", take root in the sub-conscious and that is why hypnosis is so effective for smoking cessation.
When you first started learning to drive a car, you had to concentrate on the gear stick, on the clutch and brakes. All those actions were carried out on a conscious level. After a while, those actions become automatic and on an unconscious level. Sometimes, we arrive at our destination and have little or no recollection of the journey to get there. Our sub-conscious mind took control and carried out all the functions necessary to get us safely to our destination.
People who are of strong mind, and are capable of imagination respond well to being hypnotised. Self-hypnosis can be taught and this can have a powerful impact on your life, resulting in positive and lasting changes. You can construct your person and interpersonal reality.

What is Bar and Tavern Insurance?
Establishments that sell high volumes of liquor have additional liabilities associated with their business. Because of the added risk of rowdy customers, these establishments require more coverage than what general liability policies offer. Some drinking establishment owners have to pick and choose from different policies to get customized comprehensive coverage, but they can easily get the coverage they need through a Bar and Tavern insurance package.
Bar and Tavern insurance is a package of insurance policies that are specifically suited for restaurants, pubs, sports bars, wine bars and other establishments that sell a significant amount of liquor and may have the occasional live entertainer or other events that bring in a good crowd.
What Does Bar and Tavern Insurance Cover?
Bar and Tavern insurance is typically made up of four types of coverage, designed to work together to protect establishment owners from the common liabilities that come along with serving liquor.
General Liability: This protects the business against a claim or lawsuit brought on by a patron, or other third party person, for bodily injury or property damage sustained on the premises such as a slip and fall. General liability may also include product liability, which would cover the business from claims arising from a product it sold. This would cover food poisoning or other illnesses resulting from food or drink sold at the establishment. General liability typically does not cover more high-risk activities such a mechanical bull or pyrotechnic display.
Property Insurance: Commercial property insurance protects a business against loss from major damage such as a kitchen or electrical fire. It is designed to help a business rebuild following a major accident, but does not cover artwork or other collectibles; that would require a fine arts coverage policy. It also does not cover earthquakes or floods. These would need additional policies if they are a risk to the property.
Liquor Liability: A must-have for any establishment that sells liquor is liquor liability coverage. This type of policy covers claims against a business that arise out of the sale or service of alcoholic beverages. General liability insurance has an exclusion that precludes coverage for claims or lawsuits relating to the sale, gift, distribution or use of alcoholic beverages, making liquor liability coverage essential.
Assault and Battery: General liability and liquor liability do not typically exclude general assault and battery, unless the accused person is an employee or owner of the establishment. When an establishment needs to take action against an unruly patron, injuries may result. The patron may then turn around and sue the establish for "expected or intended injury," which is only covered under an assault and battery policy.

Starship Apparel
We big banged in 1977 as a tiny sub shop selling 5 different subs, homemade fries and fountain pop. Our name was Starship Subs. It was cold out and the country was in a recession so we started making soup and became Starship Restaurant! Our menu now boasted 11 cold subs, beef, sausage, chicken and over 120 homemade types of soup! In 2015 we added BYOB for our restaurant diners. Also adding a an alcohol beverage service to our catering and are now Starship Restaurant Catering & Events! Live Long & Prosper!
Our motto "Keep the Customers Interest as our Best Interest"
and "Serve only what we like to Eat"
Throughout the years, we have grown to what we hope of a different dining experience.
Come in, or call for a quote. We aim to please!
LOCAL HERO by Mary Win Connor
Originally published in the Forest Park Post.
The story starts at Starship Restaurant when a guy walks in and orders a half of a Lanasa. (For the non-foodies reading this, the Lanasa is their Italian sub sandwich.) The customer tells the owner, Paul that he has been wanting one of these for over a year; ever since he had one Fallujah, Iraq. Since Paul knows he doesn't have a store there, he asks how the guy came upon a Lanasa in Fallujah. It seems the customer and his fellow soldiers were on duty and had worked a very long, hot 48 hour stretch. Their commanding officer, who happened to be from Maywood, had kept them going by saying that when they were done he would treat them to a great sandwich and cold beer. Since intense desert heat can really affect the brain, the soldiers believed him. Fortunately, their faith was justified and the reward divine when the promised meal was delivered. Apparently the CO's wife had gotten together with some other Angels of Mercy to buy sandwiches, shrink wrapped them and send them overnight to Iraq to be served to some very lucky soldiers. So when the job was done our hero sat down to what he termed the best meal of his life. After eating canned rations for quite a while, a Starship sub is definitely manna from heaven.
As if this wasn't enough to make Paul's day, when he asked the guy his name so they could call out to him when the sandwich was ready, his response was, "Curtis, or you can call me Sergeant Mayfield." Paul commented that he must have been named after the singer, Curtis Mayfield. To which the soldier replied, "Yes, he was my dad."
Paul already knew he had a story to tell about a soldier coming back from Fallujah to seek out the restaurant that served the best meal he had eaten in his two tours of Iraq; but finding out that said soldier was Curtis Mayfield's son made the story seriously newsworthy. I was the writer fortunate enough to be chosen to interview Paul's illustrious customer.
Sergeant Mayfield was born in St. Louis to a young woman who had spent several years following Curtis Mayfield as he toured the country performing his music. At the time of his birth, Mayfield's mother was silent as to the father of her child. When she returned to following the band, her mother took the child in. At the age of 3, when the young boy's head began to sprout gray hairs, his grandmother started researching possible causes. She discovered that early onset of gray hair can be genetic. Further research indicated that early onset of gray hair ran in the Mayfield family. Compelled by a desire to give young Curtis a man to call father, his grandmother contacted Curtis Mayfield's mother who took one look at the boy and declared him a Mayfield. His birth certificate was amended and the boy whose mother had called him Allan was now known as Curtis.
Eventually Curtis's wild child mother decided to settle down and moved herself and her son to Maywood where he attended Proviso East. His future life path started with entry in the ROTC program along with pursuit of his musical heritage when he joined the highly acclaimed Proviso East Band. Having already learned to play trumpet, tuba and saxophone by ear it was revealed in band class that he had a natural aptitude for reading music. It was also during his high school years that he established a modest relationship with his father. The goal was never to seek fame or fortune, just a genetic connection.
After graduation Mayfield enlisted in the United States Army traveling Europe in the 1990's and early 2000's. In 2006 he began his first tour of Iraq as part of the 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, known as the "Four Two."
He retired earlier this year at the end of his second tour in Iraq. Four years of the hell that is a war zone had taken its toll on him and his first goal was locating a place where he could find the peace and serenity that his soul needed to heal. He found it at the Philadelphia Church of God on Chicago's West Side. There he met Deacon Carter a fellow military veteran who is currently being treated for kidney failure at Hines VA. Since, like many folks these days, Sergeant Mayfield has been unable to find a job, he took Deacon Carter up on the offer of a place to stay in return for some help working on Carter's house in Oak Park. What started as a kind gesture has turned into a deep friendship. He works on the house and drives Carter to and from his treatments at Hines. "It's becoming obvious that he's going to need a kidney donation and I haven't told him yet, but I plan on donating mine." revealed Mayfield, "After seeing my fellow soldiers die right in front of me for years, I want to be part of giving someone life."
I walked away from my lunch with Sergeant Mayfield feeling very privileged to have been given the opportunity to spend time with this very unique person. What started as a fun story about a soldier enjoying a sandwich halfway around the world turned into a glimpse into the life of a caring, compassionate man. From his unusual parentage to his current circumstances, the story could have turned out very differently. The media is full of stories about kids who fell apart because they did not have a Beaver Cleaver lifestyle. I've always known there was another side to that coin and I am eternally grateful to have finally seen it in person.
Thank you Sergeant Mayfield for your time, your story and your service to our country. May the rest of your life be as blessed as you have made the lives of others.
You can't make this stuff up.

A great example of a loving essay on a topic that quickly divides people. It's thoughtful but far from mean-spirited. Nice work.
I get a good sense of place, so much of the story works.
What a cool concept. I wish there were more here, because I would definitely read it.

Q: convert data type from org.apache.spark.sql.Column to Long in spark window functions I am performing an operation in scala dataframe using window functions.
But  I am getting an error as shown below while processing.
error: type mismatch;
 found   : org.apache.spark.sql.Column
 required: Long
val w4 = Window.partitionBy("ID").orderBy("date").rowsBetween((lit(Window.currentRow)-col("null_count")), Window.currentRow)

Below provided part is causing the issue, rowsBetween function is expecting Long data type as start and end limit parameter.
rowsBetween((lit(Window.currentRow)-col("null_count")), Window.currentRow)

Since the window upper limit is not static, it has to take value from another column (null_count). Is there any way to resolve this issue ?
Any Leads Appreciated !


« Heat Reflective Paint – Is The One You Are Buying CodeMark Certified?
Okay, they are yet to touch that mark, the $142 Billion one, but if sources are to be believed, they would be there soon, in fact, by the end of the next year. So, painting is a big industry, no doubt. And if you were to find a good exterior paint supplier here, well, you may be looking for a needle in a haystack. Or maybe not! If you look for a paint that's good for both coastal and urban environments, how many suppliers would you be looking at? What if you narrow them down further? Say, you specify the criteria – long term protection and resistance to UV radiation and wind-driven rain.
How many suppliers offer that kind of paint? And if you keep tabs on the trends and have a consumer base that follows them too, it may be easier for you to single out a supplier. Well, if that doesn't help, you can always think of what may go wrong with a surface and whether or not the paint can do something about it. For instance, temperature changes and moisture can play spoilsport. Even worse, both winters and summers can lead to those cracks that everyone hates. Then there are other problems as well, including blistering.
Now, these are problems that a professional paint must address – but, the question is, does it? If it does, you may have found a really good supplier. Go ahead with the purchase.
