How Close Did Sammy Hagar Really Come to Joining Aerosmith?

Aerosmith were once again caught between a rock and a hard place at the end of the '00s.
The band's injury-prone 2009 tour culminated in singer Steven Tyler taking a nasty fall off the stage at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally on Aug. 5, 2009, in Rapid City, S.D., breaking his shoulder and bringing the trek to an early, unceremonious end.
Reports later emerged that Tyler hadn't spoken to his bandmates in months and had hired his own management in the interest of launching a solo career, which he referred to as "Brand Tyler" at the time. By November 2009, guitarist Joe Perry was under the impression that Tyler had left Aerosmith, and he told Billboard that the band was "positively looking for a new singer to work with."
The Toxic Twins eventually patched things up, as they had many times before, and in 2012 Aerosmith released Music From Another Dimension!, their most recent studio album to date. During their highly publicized rough patch, though, the band did audition other singers. High-profile names reportedly linked to the gig included Lenny Kravitz, Paul Rodgers, Chris Cornell, Billy Idol — and, depending on whom you ask, Sammy Hagar.
"The Aerosmith hint ... came around that time when Joe Perry tried to get me to join that band, and the management asked me to go to South America and try it out," Hagar tells UCR. "I almost did it. I think if I would have done both those things, I would have been the guy that replaced the guy. You know, always the guy replacing the guy, and that's a strange legacy for a guy like me, you know what I mean?"
Hagar is no stranger to mercurial bandmates, having replaced David Lee Roth and logging more than a decade as the frontman for Van Halen, whose namesake guitarist could be both dysfunctional and dictatorial. But the Red Rocker says he's averse to intra-band conflict, and he predicts his dynamic with Perry would have been much different than Tyler's.
"The problem is, I would have taken the toxicity out of the whole thing!" he says with a laugh. "It probably would have bombed, because I'm not a toxic kind of guy. When the arguments start, I'm outta here. I can't be in a bad situation like that. But that was real tempting there for five minutes. I got down to Cabo, and I really relaxed and thought about it. I was listening to all of the tunes and all of this stuff. I was thinkin', '"Livin' on the Edge," I'll fuckin' kill that song!' And then I woke up on the beach and said, 'You know what? I can't do this.' So that was it."
Hagar's declination was no harm, no foul for Aerosmith — particularly because Perry doesn't remember if he even formally extended an invitation.
"The whole looking around for another lead singer thing, as soon as that raised its head — and I don't know where it was quoted — but I don't even know. Maybe I did, I don't know," the guitarist tells UCR. "But I'm usually the one on the other end of the phone when it comes to Aerosmith stuff. I don't even know if I talked to Sammy. I'm not sure. I know it got out there, but we knew him, and I know him. He's a really mellow guy, easy to get along with.
"He definitely had the pipes to interpret Aerosmith songs," Perry continues. "I can see why that idea had been floated. But we also had a short list [of other potential singers] at that point. Things went the way they did, and everybody got out of their system what they wanted to. Then we slowly glued back together. I mean, you could say that the band split apart more than when I left [in 1979] and then [guitarist] Brad [Whitford] left [in 1981]. There were other times when we were like, 'Okay, that's enough. We've done enough.'"
Time heals all wounds, as the members of Aerosmith have frequently been reminded over the course of their tumultuous 50-year career. Amid their public dustup, Perry released a solo LP, 2009's Have Guitar, Will Travel. Meanwhile, in 2011, Tyler released his memoir, Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?, and a poppy single titled "(It) Feels So Good," and he joined the judges' panel for the 10th and 11th seasons of American Idol. He also released a solo album, We're All Somebody From Somewhere, in 2016. These extracurricular projects allowed the two most public-facing members of Aerosmith to blow off steam, and more than a decade later, they continue to tour with ferocity and regularity.
"You don't keep a band together without a lot of bumps and grinds," Perry says. "That's what it takes to keep it together. But as of today, I consider [Steven] the brother that I never had. We're probably as close together now as we've ever been. We're looking forward to getting back on the road together. It's a long journey, man. The steps go sideways."

Abstract
Introduction
Urethral stricture disease is still a major cause of morbidity and life-long disability in third world countries. We reviewed the records of patients at MTRH to determine the aetiology of urethral strictures.
A retrospective review of patients' records from 2003 to 2007, was carried out. Variables of interest included age, gender, and aetiology of urethral stricture
There were 143 patients out of which 112 had complete data that could be analyzed. Fifty one percent of urethral strictures were due to urethritis, 47% were due to trauma and 1.8% due to rare causes like urethral diverticulum and urethral carcinoma. Accidental trauma caused urethral strictures among younger people 27.7+/-14.3 years while strictures due to urethritis were commoner among middle aged patients 45.6+/-16.3 years.
Urethritis, iatrogenic and accidental trauma are still the commonest causes of urethral strictures in our environment. These causes are preventable.
Urethral stricture disease is caused by any process that injures the urethral epithelium or the underlying spongiosum leading to healing by scar formation. The scar causes obliteration of the urethral lumen which leads to poor stream of urine or subsequent cessation of urine flow. The resultant scar can be of various depths, densities and lengths, replacing portions of the corpora spongiosum with loss of urothelium and subsequent circular contraction of the lumen. Strictures are documented in ancient literature from the Greek and Egyptian period and are a common sequel of sexually transmitted Illness (STI). This results in a chronic inflammatory process (1). Earlier studies indicated sexually transmitted diseases to be still common in the age group 15 to 50 years in developing countries (2).This trend is reported to have changed with gonorrhea ,the historical cause of urethral stricture having been replaced by urethral instrumentation and external trauma as the most common cause of the disease(1,2). However there are still some incidences of urethral stricture disease especially in men with a history of chlamydia or gonorrhea (3, 4, 5, 6,). As trauma becomes the leading role of urethral stricture disease in other centers we postulated that at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH), inflammatory cause is the leading cause of urethral stricture disease.
We conducted a retrospective study covering a period of five (5) years, from 1st January 2003 to 31st December 2007 at MTRH, the second largest public tertiary institution in Kenya. Data on all cases of urethral stricture disease seen at the hospital during the period of study was collected. The parameters studied included age, sex, and aetiology of the urethral stricture.
We sampled 143 files out of which only 112 had adequate information. All patients except one were male. The mean age of the patients with urethral stricture disease was 42.7 years (SD 20.8) years with a range of 3 months to 86 years. In 50.9% of cases urethral strictures were due to urethritis, 47.3% due to trauma while1.8% were due to rare causes like urethral diverticulum and urethral carcinoma (Table 1). In cases due to trauma the causes were distributed almost equally between iatrogenic (28%) and accidental trauma (25%) (Table 2). Urethral stricture disease in the female patient occurred as a complication of vesiicole vaginal fistula (VVF) repair.
Urethral stricture due to accidental trauma occurred on average among younger patients (mean 27.7 +/-14.3 years) while strictures due to urethritis occurred in middle aged patients (mean 45.6+/- 16.3 years).
Urethral stricture disease due to accidental trauma occurred more in the younger age group (27.7+/-14.3 years), while urethritis caused strictures among the middle age group (47.6+/- 16.3). The association between the age and aetiology was statistically significant (ANOVA, F (3,108) =9.278, p<0.001).
The trend in he aetiology of urethral stricture disease has been noted to have changed in the developed world and in some urban centres in developing countries (2). In both situations, trauma is the leading cause having overtaken urethritis (7,8,9). Inflammatory strictures seen in the developed countries are caused by Lichen Sclerosis (LS) a form of chronic dermatitis or Balanitis Xerotica Obliterance (BXO), a variant of Lichen Sclerosis (10,11). At the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, urethritis remains the highest cause of urethral stricture disease, being responsible for up to 51% of all the patients in our study. The hospital, though the second national referral in Kenya, its catchment area is a rural farming population in western region of Kenya. This trend may be replicated in most rural populations in developing countries. Studies published before the 1980's indicated that urethritis was the most common cause of urethral strictures at 40% (12). Some recent studies still show that urethritis still leads as a cause of urethral stricture disease at 63%, a rate much higher than would be expected. Sub-Saharan African countries still have a high prevalence of urogenital infections especially gonococcal urethritis, which when inadequately treated leads to urethral stricture formation (8). High prevalence of gonococcal urethritis is attributed to lack of information about STI's among youth, early onset of sexual activity, sex with multiple partners and reluctance to use condoms. Other causes identified include prostitution, lack of adequate attention to urethral discharge, antibiotics resistance, lack of screening for Chlamydia trachomatis and incomplete diagnosis of STI's relying mainly on the clinical diagnosis (13). Poverty may also contribute to inadequate treatment as the patients may be unable to afford a complete dosage of the prescribed antibiotics, even when accurate diagnosis has been made. Health facilities which are inadequately equipped for treatment of STI's and counterfeit drugs can lead to missed opportunity for adequate treatment. However with the advent of HIV and AIDS, and the extent of health education curried out for over 25 years, it would have been expected that urethritis should by now have been overtaken by trauma as the leading cause of urethral stricture disease. In our study, trauma was responsible for 47% of cases. Among the traumatic causes, non-accidental trauma was attributed to in 25% of all strictures, while accidental trauma caused 22.3% of all strictures. In the developed world, the commonest causes of urethral trauma that lead to urethral stricture disease are urethral instrumentation, and external trauma (2). Iatrogenic or non-accidental urethral injuries in our centre were due to catheterization, instrumentation and prostatectomy (both open and transurethral) and following radiotherapy for carcinoma of the prostate. All these conditions lead to tissue damage which heals by scar formation and narrowing of the urethral lumen. In prolonged catheterization, urethral injury could be due to urethral inflammation or ischemia (14,15). Ischemia may also result from prolonged hypotension in the catheterized patients (16,17,18). Studies have shown that 3.2 injuries occur in every 1,000 patients catheterized (19), while 22% of all strictures are caused by accidental trauma. In a study by Mathur R, et al, trauma was the commonest cause of urethral disease in men with a mean age of 35.5 years (range 15-65 years) (2). In our study, accidental trauma occurred more among younger men (27.7±14.3 years). This is the most economically active age group which is vulnerable to trauma and urethral trauma may be part of the multiple injuries such a patient may have sustained (20,21). In general, trauma was the second cause of urethral stricture disease at 47%. Larger urban centres even in developing countries have trauma being the leading cause of urethral strictures. Mathur R, et al found trauma to be the commonest cause at 54%, Similar to Tijan KH, et al (N=60) where trauma was the undisputed cause of urethral strictures (8,9). Similar to Tijan KH, et al (N=60) where trauma was the undisputed cause of urethral strictures (8,9). It seems that trauma is a leading cause of urethral strictures in bigger cities of the developing world as it is in developed nations while urethritis leads in causing urethral stricture disease in smaller cities and rural areas. Inflammatory strictures as those caused by urethritis tend to be multifocal making difficult to treat. In our study, the mean age of men affected by urethral stricture disease as a sequel to urethritis was 45.6 years with a range of 25.3 years to 55.9 years. Duration of time from infection to the onset of symptoms may be many years apart. So far no study has conclusively determined the length of time required between infection and stricture formation. This could explain why manifestation of urethral stricture disease occurs in mid-life when history of urethritis may have occurred several years earlier.

One of the most freuquently asked question I get from my brides is "where should we go for our engagament photos?" What a GREAT question! I know it can seem stressful trying to nail down all those details but here are a couple of tips to help you choose.
Choose a location that is special to you! This is the most important one in my opinion. Yeah, we can make anywhere and still come out with some pretty awesome photos, but doing some where special to you just adds another layer to your photos. Looking back at them you can say "oh that's where we had out first date" or "we frequently go there to celebrate!"
Choose a Location that is higher up if sunset photos are your favorites. I always try to book our session together around the time the sunsets. Those are be far some of my favorite photos I take. To get those having a location where the sun is setting around you but also having it in a deep valley we have to adjust where the sun is going to be. This is something I think about all the time.
Make sure your Location is Photo friendly. There are some location where the location itself limits photography on their site or requires a permit with payment. Look into places that don't have restrictions or find out the restrictions ahead of time. I have found that majority of the time I call ahead they are really friendly and willing to work with us to get your beautiful photos. But when I haven't called ahead of time and we just show up, it can get a little hostel! Trust me it is not that fun to have to run away from people in this way.
If you want to bring your furbaby, check ahead of time that the location allows it or if they have any restrictions. Following the rules makes for a much happier session I promise! I LOVE shooting with you with your pets. I believe they are a big part of your family ( I have two cats of my own that I love and sing to often.) Just double checking they are allowed or looking for a location that doesn't have a pet restricting is key!
Pets are part of the family! So I understand when you want to have them in your engagement photos; I have a couple of tips to make your fur babies photography experience great!
Bring a third party to look after your animal once they are done with photos! Majority of the time your animal will only be in 1/3 of your totally engagment session. The other 2/3 of the time you want to focus on just you too and nothing with take up more time and attention then a cute distracted bored animal! To keep your focus on you having a third person their will keep everything running smoothly!
It doesnt just have to be your dog in the photos. Dogs are the most common for sessions but you are welcome to bring any pet that you want to incorporate into your photos ! For bigger animals like horses it may be easiest to plan on going where they are housed over bringing them to your engagement spot !
Have treats at the ready. A photo session is exciting for even the most well behaved of animals. Having their favorite treat will help keep them motivated and help me to get their attention when he is the star of the photo!
Bring a leash for all animals! Nothing would be more horrifying than losing an animal during the session! When we are out shooting in public, it is new territory for your pet and that can be intense for any animal. To make sure their fears and uncertainties don't cause them to flee , play on the safe side and put them on a leash or a harness to grab them at a moments notice if they get too overwhelmed. If your pet is new to the harness definitely have them wear it a couple of times around the house to get used to it before the shoot! It is one less thing to trigger stress on the day of the shoot!
Do you have any helpful tips to add? Please leave a comment below to fill us in on things I over looked!
When is the right time to book your engagament photography session? I have got you, girl.
Plan for your favorite season! Up here in Minnesota we have all four seasons! My favorite season is winter. The snow is makes the world magical. Plan on shooting the season you want to be a part of within the year of your wedding.
Many use engagememt photos for their save the dates! To make sure you have plenty of time to shoot the session and your photographer has time to edit to perfection and deliver and then add in the time to order and be delivered. I would suggest to have your engagement session shot 2 months before you plan on sending out your save the dates. That will give you time for all the mentioned process above to take place!
From a photographers standpoint you want to avoid shooting your session too late in advance. I would suggest having your photos done not later than 2 months before your wedding. This will give you plenty of time to have your photographer shoot and edit and send back your photos.
Do you need more engagement session tips? I have a handful of blog posts that will better prepare you for your engagement session!


This publication offers a severe research of citizenship, nation and globalization in societies which have been traditionally stimulated via Islamic traditions and associations. Interrogating the paintings of up to date theorists of Islamic modernity comparable to Mohammed Arkoun, Abdul an-Na'im, Fatima Mernissi, Talal Asad, Saba Mahmood and Aziz Al-Azmeh, this publication explores the talk on Islam, democracy and modernity, contextualized inside of modern Muslim lifeworlds. those comprise modern Turkey (following the 11th of September assaults and the onset of struggle in Afghanistan), multicultural France (2009–10 French burqa debate), Egypt (the 2011 Tahrir sq. mass mobilizations), and India. Ali Mirsepassi and Tadd Graham Fernée critique specific counterproductive ideological conceptualizations, voicing an rising worldwide ethic of reconciliation. Rejecting the polarized conceptual beliefs of the common or the genuine, the authors severely reconsider notions of the secular, the cosmopolitan and democracy. elevating questions that lower around the disciplines of background, anthropology, sociology and legislations, this learn articulates a democratic politics of daily life in glossy Islamic societies.
matters in regards to the position of Islam in Palestinian politics are generic to these learning the background of the fashionable center East. an essential component of this heritage is the increase of Islamic competition to the British in Mandate Palestine through the Nineteen Twenties and Thirties. Colonial officers had wrestled with the query of ways to rule over a Muslim-majority kingdom and regarded conventional Islamic associations crucial for protecting order. Islam less than the Palestine Mandate tells the tale of the hunt for a conceivable Islamic establishment in Palestine and the next invention of the ultimate Muslim Council.
How do pious Shia Muslim girls nurture and maintain their spiritual lives? How do their studies and ideology vary from or overlap with these of fellows? What do gender-based spiritual roles and interactions exhibit concerning the Shia Muslim religion? In companions of Zaynab, Diane D'Souza provides a wealthy ethnography of city Shia ladies in India, exploring women's devotional lives in the course of the lens of non secular narrative, sacred house, ritual functionality, management, and iconic symbols.
Religious students have tended to devalue women's non secular expressions, confining them to the outer edge of a male-centered ritual global. This point of view usually assumes that women's ritual behaviors are the unsophisticated fabricated from constrained schooling and event or even a much less built lady nature. via illuminating bright lady narratives inside Shia non secular teachings, the interesting heritage of a shrine led through girls, the modern lives of dynamic woman preachers, and women's well known prayers and rituals of petition, companions of Zaynab demonstrates that the non secular lives of girls aren't a mistaken approximation of male-defined norms and behaviors, yet a energetic, genuine confirmation of religion in the spiritual mainstream.
D'Souza questions the excellence among normative and well known spiritual habit, arguing that any such categorization not just isolates and devalues lady ritual expressions, but in addition weakens our realizing of faith as an entire. companions of Zaynab bargains a compelling glimpse of Muslim religion and perform and a extra whole knowing of the interaction of gender inside of Shia Islam.
Written in prose yet with a verse-like taste, this booklet is a suite of maxims through Bediuzzaman stated Nursi.

Was bewirkt das Gebet? Welche Rolle spielt es im Verhältnis zwischen Mensch und Gott und welche Schnittmengen gibt es zwischen christlichem und muslimischem Gebet?
Das Gebet ist der zentrale Ausdruck religiösen Glaubens in Christentum und Islam. Aber used to be "bewirkt" das Gebet - und bei wem? Welche Rolle spielt die Glaubensgemeinschaft dabei? Gibt es Kriterien für ein authentisches Gebet oder Schnittmengen zwischen Christentum und Islam?
Gebetstexte sind wichtige Quellen für das Verständnis von Gott, das Bild vom Menschen und die Beziehung zwischen Gott und Mensch in beiden Religionen.

While biking in Algonquin this past September, we came across the ruins of a former sawmill close to Whitefish Lake. These old cooling fins had seen better days, but with the process of abuse and neglect, they are far more interesting (visually) than when they were brand new. I enjoy witnessing the effect that the elements have on man made creations. They were created shiny and perfect, but with a bit of time they develop more character and history, on their way to becoming imperfect. The beauty of imperfection!

A Decade Later, Nicolas Cage's Stolen Action Comics #1 Is Recovered
Posted on April 11, 2011 | by Mark Seifert | 0 Comment(s)
It's probably the most notorious comic book heist ever. In 2000, high grade copies of Action Comics #1 and Detective Comics #27 were stolen from Nicolas Cage's home. Cage, a well-known comic book fan and at the time the owner of a jaw-dropping vintage comic book collection, was extremely disheartened by the theft and subsequently sold his entire collection with Heritage Auctions. The announcement of the sale became infamous late night talk show and gossip mag fodder because Cage married Lisa Marie Presley just days after announcing that he was selling his comic books.
According to the Ventura County Star, Cage's Action Comics #1 was recovered by the Los Angeles Police last month from a San Fernando Valley Storage Locker.
It remained missing for more than 10 years until last month when a man found it in a San Fernando Valley storage locker, said Balelo, who owns Balelo Inc., a liquidation merchandise business in Simi Valley. The man had bought the locker's contents through Riverside-based American Auctioneers.
Not sure of its worth, the man, who did not want to be identified for this story, turned to American Auctioneers co-owner Dan Dotson. Dotson, in turn, arranged a meeting April 3 between the man and Balelo.
"Dan is a good friend of mine," Balelo said. "And he knows I'm very much into collectibles."
Balelo said the man brought the comic book to the meeting. Balelo took photographs of it and emailed them to New York comic book dealer Stephen Fishler, who sold the copy of Action Comics #1 to Cage.
Balelo said he knows the man who found the comic book only as Sylvester. When contacted by The Star, the man refused to give his last name.
Hrycyk also refused to identify him.
Is he a suspect?
"I don't know," Hrycyk said. "I don't know enough about it yet. I don't want to prejudge anybody. It's just too bad that Balelo with his big mouth thought it was necessary to contact the media" about the comic book.
Balelo said with a laugh that after all the time and trouble he went through trying to do the right thing without making a dime, "at least let me get some recognition."
Stephen Fishler, the comic book dealer who sold Cage the Action Comics #1 and much of the rest of his collection, flew out last week to authenticate the book, according to the Star. Fishler, whose comicconnect.com has sold an Action Comics #1 for $1.5 million last year and a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 (first appearance of Spider-Man) for $1.1 million last month, could not comment on the ongoing police investigation.
But he did go on the record in detail about the original particulars of the theft in 2006 on the Collector's Society message board, in an effort to flush out information on another comic stolen during the incident:
In 2000, Nicolas Cage called me, slightly frantic and quite upset that 3 comic books had been stolen from his house in Los Angeles. I asked him if the police had been contacted and he informed me that they had not. I immediately placed a call to the L.A. police who arrived on the scene within 20 minutes.
Here are the facts:
3 books- A VF Action Comics #1 (unrestored), a VF Detective #27 (unrestored except for a tiny sealed tear on the back cover/sold in the 1992 Sotheby's auction) and a 3rd book that I will not disclose for the time being, were missing. These books had been placed in high security frames on a wall. Those frames were now empty. However, it was nearly impossible to pinpoint exactly when the potential theft occurred. Mr. Cage had a party at his house the week before. It could have happened then. It is also possible that it had could have happened prior to the party. There was no way to know for sure.
A number of household employees were interviewed about the theft. Unfortunately, nothing of substance had come from those interviews.
Several weeks later, I spent a number of hours combing through the house in the hope that the books were somehow still in the house. Misplaced? Hidden by a thief in an out of the way location with the notion of retrieving them at a later date. I came up empty. The books had fallen off the face of the earth.
In, 2000, I had spent considerable time quietly contacting comic book stores in the L.A. area in the hope that the books would be sold for some quick cash. Several days after the initial report of the theft, a store owner in the L.A. area informed me that he had recently received a phone call requesting pricing information for Action #1 and Detective #27. I was very hopeful that this tip would lead to a potential recovery of the stolen books but unfortunately, the store owner received no further phone calls. However, I was not discouraged in that I knew that the books were out there – somewhere.
Several months later, there was a another break. On ebay, I spotted an auction for the D copy of Marvel Mystery #71 in a CGC holder. The same Marvel #71 that I had sold to Cage two years earlier. I contacted Nick abouthe book but unfortunately he was out of the country at the time. I emailed the ebay seller with questions regarding the book but received no response. One week later, I found out that a good friend of mine had purchased the Marvel #71 from the seller on ebay. That transaction had been done in person and was completed in cash. Thankfully, I was able to secure the name and address of the ebay seller. Left a phone message for the seller and again,did not receive a response.
And indeed, it turned out that Nick's Marvel #71 was missing. With the Action #1 and Detective #27 in the spotlight, the fact that the Marvel #71 was missing had just been overlooked. Why someone would also take the #71 is anybody's guess.
I handed over the information to Nick's people who assured me that they would take it from there. To be honest, I feel they dropped the ball. For some reason, they did not want to get the police involved. They contacted the seller of the Marvel #71, a person living in CT, and received a legal letter in return claiming harassment. Because they could not connect the person in CT to a person who had access to Nick's house, they just seemed to let the matter drop. It was infuriating for me to watch all this transpire, but at the end of the day it was not my book and it was not my investigation.
The loss of the books was upsetting to Nicolas Cage. Extremely upsetting. And it was something that he has never gotten over.
It was my opinion that the person who sold the Marvel #71 had information about the Action #1 and Detective #27. If I had any doubt about this, that doubt ended when I found out the following: The seller of the Marvel #71, the same person who submitted the book to CGC, the same person whom I had contacted with "questions", apparently franticly contacted CGC, asking questions about their confidentiality policies. Fearful that they would release his name to "outside parties". This occurred shortly after I had had left my first message with CT ebay seller.
I had not released the information earlier in the hope that these books would "somehow" find their way back on to the comic book market. A thief, unaware that the books had been reported stolen might try to sell them looking for a quick payday. I am now taking a different tactic in the hopes that someone out there "knows something."
If someone reading this thread feels that they have information regarding these stolen books, I ask you that you PM me. Do not post that information. All tips will be kept completely confidential.
It would appear the picture used by the Ventura County Star is not the actual Cage copy, but rather a scan of the Kansas City copy which sold for $1 million last year. The copy which appears in the LAPD's stolen art database, has been assumed by many to be the Cage copy. Given Fishler's unrestored VF description, the copy would be very comparable to the best copies on the market recently, and might possibly go for over $1 million in today's market.
The LAPD database also contains a high grade Detective Comics #27, possibly the copy stolen from Cage as well. Have you seen this comic? Contact LAPD Art Theft Detail at 213-485-2524.

Another morning, London Fog in hand, tackling to-dos that seem to be piling up. Though, I wanted to take this blog post to just spew a few of the thoughts that have been on my mind, as well as catch you all up on where my head has been at lately. Editing my novel has begun to feel like a daunting task lately, and I've been working to change that perspective as best as I can. However, I've been taking time to step away from the edits ever so often so that I can focus on the things that make me happy — things I seem to never have time for anymore. This time last week, I was telling myself, "Anisa, you need to write something. Your itching to write something, and I know the ideas are there. What's stopping you?" I have told myself that I have been the one thing holding myself back whenever I'd settle down to begin writing again, and that is true, but I simply haven't been making time for it. It fell to the back of my mind, hoping I'd "get back to it" when I conclude my novel edits. I'm here to say that there's no time to wait around, hoping I'd "find time" to write. I simply had to do it, and so I did.
I was honestly hoping I'd have my novel edits finished by the end of March, and I know that March isn't over yet, but I'm coming to terms with the idea that it may not happen until April. Sometimes, having a plan is a good thing, but there are times where we're down on ourselves because we don't finish something in the given timeframe we've set for ourselves. It's okay to alter a plan, and that is something I've been actively learning how to do. I have been allowing myself to take a breather every once in a while, and just revisit my writing the way it feels best — authentic. I go through surges of creativity, struggling to maintain it long enough for anything substantial to come from it, but I'm working on honing in on that, so that I don't feel like I need a sudden spark to continue working on a project I believe in.
Each time I get wrapped up writing something new, I remember how incredible it feels, and at that moment nothing else matters. I want to feel that more often, I want to explore a variety of different story ideas that I have, collecting dust in the back of my mind. So, that brings me to the short story idea I currently have. The last short story I wrote and posted on here not too long ago was called "The Nightgown" (click here) and it was a small project that really allowed me to explore my creativity again. I've always been interested in the Mystery/Thriller and Horror genres of fiction, and it was a story that I had a lot of fun writing. I remember finishing it thinking, "Wow, I really can't wait to do that again." So, here I am, doing it again. It all really started with a conversation I had with someone recently, sparking an idea for a short Mystery/Thriller piece that may have me on the edge of my seat as I write it (aren't those the best?). I really needed to put into perspective all of the things that have gotten me to this point, all of the things I absolutely love — and why I haven't been doing more of them. So, here's to more story writing, efficient novel editing, and loving each and every step of the journey.
Thank you all for reading this post, and I'd love to hear what you think below!

These days, you will find two primary types of extended warranties: original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket. Examples of OEMs are Chevrolet and Ford. A third party would be a warranty or insurance company that has no direct affiliations with a vehicle brand. One example of a third-party service warranty provider that is fast growing in popularity is Cars Protection Plus.
When deciding which warranty is the best, you may have to choose between a package with a deductible and without. Like most other types of insurance, a higher deductible lowers the total cost of the policy. The great thing is OEM warranty deductibles are usually under $200.
Usually, third-party or aftermarket warranty companies, such as Cars Protection Plus, provide mainly the same coverage that you can expect from OEMs. But of course, these are still two different products, and even the actual coverage offered by third parties can be unique. Policies and deductibles, for one, are usually different as well.
How coverage is administered constitutes another significant difference between OEM and third-party warranties. For instance, a third-party warranty may require you to pay out-of-pocket for a repair, and them file a claim to be reimbursed later. This process is not always quick, but as long as you go with a well-reputed provider like Cars Protection Plus, this ceases to be a problem. In any case, it's crucial that yo know your costs right from the start.
What could be the most important advantage of third-party over OEM warranties is that they are dramatically cheaper. Sometimes, you will even have no other option but a third-party warranty. So for example, if you bought a used Chevrolet from a Toyota dealership, it's unlikely that you will get a Chevrolet OEM warranty.


No. Not a new WildC.A.T.s. Emp and my sister and Reno and the rest were unique. We have to let their legend stand, to allow them their immortality... and get out there and earn some of our own. The WildC.A.T.s are dead, gentlemen. Long live the WildC.A.T.s.
With the WildC.A.T.s off the planet and believed dead, Savant and Mr. Majestic decide to create their own team of WildC.A.T.s to continue the cause. The roster of this new team is significantly more dangerous and unsavory than the previous incarnation, but that's the kind of brutality that Savant believes would work well for the team. This includes Condition Red who is Grifter's brother and the Tactically Augmented Organism, also known as Tao.
To recruit their last member, Ladytron, Savant and the others investigate a restaurant that is the setting for a drug deal. They are able to get Ladytron, as well as a criminal with knowledge of crime activity on the East coast, though they had to knock Ladytron out.
This issue marks the first appearance of Ladytron and Tao.
This issue is collected in the WildC.A.T.s Homecoming trade.
This issue is collected in Alan Moore's Complete WildC.A.T.s trade.
After Savant mentions that staffing the new WildC.A.T.s team with former villains, Mister Majestic sarcastically asks if they should recruit the Violator, a foe of Spawn.
The original WildC.A.T.s are in space due to the events of of the WildStorm Rising crossover.

Before MARKEY, Chief Judge, COWEN, Senior Circuit Judge, and NIES, Circuit Judge.
MARKEY, Chief Judge.
Lindemann Maschinenfabrik GmbH (Lindemann) appeals from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, (via Magistrate Brown), No. H-80-2333 (November 18, 1988), awarding Lindemann damages of $10,000; refusing to find willful the infringement of American Hoist and Derrick Company, Harris Press and Shear Division, or Commercial Metals Company (collectively AmHoist); and denying Lindemann attorney fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285 (1982). We affirm the judgment in all respects.
We do not here discuss U.S. Patent No. 3,945,315 ('315) or the involved technology, which we fully explicated in our opinion reversing the judgment of invalidity and remanding the case for a finding on infringement and other proceedings consistent with that opinion. See Lindemann Maschinenfabrik GmbH v. American Hoist & Derrick Co., 730 F.2d 1452, 1464, 221 USPQ 481, 490 (Fed. Cir. 1984) (Lindemann I) .
Proceedings on Remand
Following remand, the district court held an evidentiary hearing, at the beginning of which AmHoist stipulated to including, over Lindemann's objection, the willfulness issue. Lindemann's sole source of evidence on the damages amount came from its expert, patent attorney Paul M. Enlow (Enlow). Enlow gave his opinion that a reasonable royalty would be 75%-85% of AmHoist's targeted gross profit, yielding a royalty rate of 20%-25% of the net selling price of the entire machine and sales of spare parts, resulting in a damage award of $179,844-$224,805. AmHoist's expert, Sidney Alpert, gave his opinion that a reasonable royalty should be based on the anticipated profit on the patented and optional split ram feature, rather than on the entire machine. He concluded that Lindemann's damages should total $3,000 for the two sales of machines with infringing rams.
The trial judge, Judge Sterling, died before rendering judgment. With consent of the parties and court designation, United States Magistrate Karen K. Brown conducted all further proceedings. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1982).
On September 15, 1988, Magistrate Brown entered an order "permanently enjoin [ing] Defendant AmHoist from further infringement"; granting Lindemann "nominal" damages of $10,000; and, finding the case to be exceptional, awarding Lindemann attorney fees, costs, and prejudgment interest. That order did not discuss willfulness or enhanced damages under 35 U.S.C. § 284 (1982).
The bulk of that order concerned a reasonable royalty calculation. Having determined that neither party had presented evidence requiring adoption of its recommended amount of damages, the magistrate stated:
[I]t is the opinion of this Court, that it can do no more than render substantial justice. Plaintiff's damages calculations are based on the infringer's anticipated profits which bear no relationship to the actual profits. Alternatively, Defendant's damage calculations are based on the anticipated net profits on the sale of the split ram as an option.... This presents an unacceptable solution given the existing case law. Therefore, this court awards to Plaintiff for infringement of its '315 patent, nominal damages in the amount of $10,000. [Footnote & citation omitted.]
In that order the magistrate gave Lindemann ten days to submit a "proposed judgment which incorporates these findings." AmHoist moved for reconsideration and substitute findings. Lindemann made no substantive response to that motion. On November 18, 1988, the magistrate granted AmHoist's motion, ordering that the portion of the earlier order "designating this an exceptional case ... and awarding attorney's fees is hereby withdrawn." The final judgment: (1) held the '315 patent valid and infringed; (2) permanently enjoined AmHoist from infringement; (3) awarded $10,000 in damages; (4) said Lindemann failed to show "that [AmHoist's] infringement was willful and failed to overcome [AmHoist's] showing of a bona fide belief in the invalidity of [the '315 patent]"; and (5) said Lindemann failed to show "that this was an exceptional case within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 285, or that the Court should otherwise award attorney fees."
I. Whether the magistrate's award is contrary to 35 U.S.C. § 284.
II. Whether the magistrate's finding of nonwillfulness was clearly erroneous.
III. Whether the magistrate's finding that this is not an exceptional case under 35 U.S.C. § 285 was clearly erroneous.
Once again the court's patience is sorely tried by an inability or refusal of an appellant to understand the purpose and rules governing the appellate process. Having utterly failed to prove its case for damages at trial, Lindemann attempts to retry that case here, asking this court first to accept its one-sided version of the evidence and its selected snippets of testimony and then, on that basis, to forego remand and order an award more to Lindemann's liking. Taking the charitable view that Lindemann's conduct here may be the result of invincible ignorance, and recognizing that Lindemann appeared to prevail at one point, we decline to impose a sanction under Rule 38, Fed. R. App. P. Nonetheless, we remind that one does not persuade by insulting the intelligence of the persuadees.
It is sufficient to cite but one example of Lindemann's intelligence-insulting tactics here, i.e., one of the many instances in which it twisted this court's opinion language in Lindemann I. Because Lindemann never sold its invention in the United States and AmHoist sold only two $16,000 split-ram optional features soon abandoned by the purchasers and by AmHoist, this court said:
The record does not reflect the rationale underlying a vigorously fought lawsuit and its accompanying expense in the light of two sales and both purchasers' cessation of use of the invention.
730 F.2d 1452, 1463 n. 8.
Lindemann's brief turns the above quote on its head, saying this "vexatious and unjustified litigation, remarked upon by this Court in its opinion on the prior appeal," was "occasioned by AmHoist's tenacity in persisting with a defense of non-infringement...." To found an argument on an expectation that this court will forget which side brought suit is to exceed the bounds of advocacy.
To list each of the many statements in Lindemann's brief that are either unsupported or contradicted by the record would unduly lengthen this opinion. With those statements Lindemann is arguing a different case from that presented at the trial level. That Lindemann found such statements necessary should have told it that there were no proper grounds for reversal and that in filing this appeal it was walking on the razor's edge of frivolity.1
The subject of damages is dual-sided, encompassing the questions of whether there are any damages, and, if so, what should be the amount. The former is a question of fact, answerable by "yes" or "no" and leaving no room for inference, speculation, estimation, or discretion. The latter is subject to those exercises and may on occasion be determinable only through an effort of the court, as here, "to do substantial justice." As was said in Story Parchment Company v. Paterson Parchment Paper Company, 282 U.S. 555, 562, 51 S. Ct. 248, 250, 75 L. Ed. 544 (1931):
Nor can we accept the view of that court that the verdict of the jury, in so far as it included damages for the first item, cannot stand because it was based upon mere speculation and conjecture. This characterization of the basis for the verdict is unwarranted. It is true that there was uncertainty as to the extent of the damage, but there was none as to the fact of damage; and there is a clear distinction between the measure of proof necessary to establish the fact that petitioner had sustained some damage, and the measure of proof necessary to enable the jury to fix the amount. The rule which precludes the recovery of uncertain damages applies to such as are not the certain result of the wrong, not to those damages which are definitely attributable to the wrong and only uncertain in respect of their amount.
In patent law, the fact of infringement establishes the fact of damage because the patentee's right to exclude has been violated. 5 D. Chisum, Patents Sec. 20.03 at 20-142 (1986); see Zegers v. Zegers, Inc., 458 F.2d 726, 729-30, 173 USPQ 385, 387-88 (7th Cir.), cert. denied, 409 U.S. 878, 93 S. Ct. 131, 34 L. Ed. 2d 132 (1972); cf. Del Mar Avionics, Inc. v. Quinton Instrument Co., 836 F.2d 1320, 1326, 5 USPQ2d 1255, 1260 (Fed. Cir. 1987). The patentee must then prove the amount of damage. When lost profits are the measure, the amount is normally provable by the facts in evidence or as a factual inference from the evidence.2 When a "reasonable royalty" is the measure, the amount may again be considered a factual inference from the evidence, yet there is room for exercise of a common-sense estimation of what the evidence shows would be a "reasonable" award. One challenging only the court's finding as to amount of damages awarded under the "reasonable royalty" provision of Sec. 284, therefore, must show that the award is, in view of all the evidence, either so outrageously high or so outrageously low as to be unsupportable as an estimation of a reasonable royalty. Here Lindemann, who bore the burden and yet failed to adduce evidence dictating a particular amount, left the magistrate with the widest range of choice. Indeed, the paucity of Lindemann's evidence makes its challenge to the amount of the award difficult to understand when an award far less than $10,000 would have been supported by the evidence.
Lindemann emphasizes that the 1952 Act sets a reasonable royalty as the floor below which damages can not go, see Del Mar, 836 F.2d at 1326, 5 USPQ2d at 1260; Seattle Box Co. v. Industrial Crating & Packing Inc., 756 F.2d 1574, 1581, 225 USPQ 357, 363 (Fed. Cir. 1985), but Lindemann forgets that it failed to carry its burden of proving that its proposed royalty would be reasonable.
Disregarding this court's oft-repeated caution that judgments, not words, are appealable, see, e.g., FMC Corp. v. Hennessy Indus., Inc., 836 F.2d 521, 524, 5 USPQ2d 1272, 1274 (Fed. Cir. 1987) (citing Stratoflex, Inc. v. Aeroquip Corp., 713 F.2d 1530, 1540, 218 USPQ 871, 880 (Fed. Cir. 1983)), Lindemann founds this appeal primarily on the magistrate's use of "nominal", and, from the presence of that word alone, argues that the award was out of "conformity" with 35 U.S.C. § 284's mandate that damages awarded be "in no event less than a reasonable royalty...." Lindemann's reliance on the word "nominal" is the more surprising in light of this court's statement in Lindemann I that it "reviews judgments, not the rhetoric in opinions." 730 F.2d at 1458, 221 USPQ at 485. See also Structural Rubber Prods. Co. v. Park Rubber Co., 749 F.2d 707, 718, 223 USPQ 1264, 1272 (Fed. Cir. 1984) (this court reviews "final decisions, not passing comments").
Lindemann's exclusive focus on the word "nominal" as indicating that the magistrate disregarded Sec. 284 is but another intelligence-insulting tactic. The magistrate cited Sec. 284 as its guidepost and five times referred to its duty to award no less than a reasonable royalty.
Though the label "nominal" may have been inapt, in context it is clear that the magistrate used it to indicate merely that on the evidence it presented Lindemann was entitled to far less than the amount it demanded. See, e.g., Union Carbide Corp. v. Graver Tank & Mfg. Co., 243 F. Supp. 358, 363, 145 USPQ 446, 450, (N.D. Ind. 1963), aff'd in pertinent part, rev'd in part, 345 F.2d 409, 411, 145 USPQ 240, 241 (7th Cir. 1965). In all events, the mere use of the label would not and could not possibly constitute reversible error.3
As above indicated, the statute obviates the need to show the fact of damage when infringement is admitted or proven, but that does not mean that a patentee who puts on little or no satisfactory evidence of a reasonable royalty can successfully appeal on the ground that the amount awarded by the court is not "reasonable" and therefore contravenes section 284. See Railroad Dynamics, Inc. v. A. Stucki Co., 727 F.2d 1506, 1519, 220 USPQ 929, 941 (Fed. Cir.), cert. denied, 469 U.S. 871, 105 S. Ct. 220, 83 L. Ed. 2d 150 (1984) (in lost profits context: "One who fails to submit evidence in support of a position cannot be heard on appeal to complain that the trial court failed to find facts upholding that position"); Devex Corp. v. General Motors Corp., 667 F.2d 347, 363, 212 USPQ 643, 657 (3rd Cir. 1981) (affirming award of zero damages for lack of evidence and saying: "The statute [35 U.S.C. § 284] requires the award of a reasonable royalty, but to argue that this requirement exists even in the absence of any evidence from which a court may derive a reasonable royalty goes beyond the possible meaning of the statute."), aff'd on other grounds, 461 U.S. 648, 103 S. Ct. 2058, 76 L. Ed. 2d 211 (1983).4
The record created at trial convinces us that the magistrate correctly evaluated the evidence as totally insufficient to support a royalty rate yielding more than $10,000 for AmHoist's sale of the two machines with infringing rams. Lindemann admits that it "presented its evidence on damages solely" through its one witness, patent attorney Enlow. Mr. Enlow gave his opinion that a reasonable royalty would be 20%-25% of the sale price of the entire machine. Lindemann implies but does not, as it cannot, argue that the magistrate was bound to accept that opinion. Indeed, the record reflects fully adequate bases for the magistrate's rejection of that opinion. As brought out on cross-examination, Enlow's opinion was based on a nonexistent or at best woefully incomplete understanding of the market and on an estimate of anticipated profits that bore no relation to actual profits, Enlow having no knowledge of the latter. Enlow stated that courts do not consider actual net profits "in these [hypothetical negotiation] situations." That was said in disregard of Trans-World Mfg. Co. v. Al Nyman & Sons, Inc., 750 F.2d 1552, 1568, 224 USPQ 259, 269 (Fed. Cir. 1984). Enlow's calculation began with a 30% anticipated gross profit (though Lindemann's brief admits at one point that AmHoist's anticipated net profit was 15%). See Radio Steel & Mfg. Co. v. MTD Prods., Inc., 788 F.2d 1554, 1557, 229 USPQ 431, 433 (Fed. Cir. 1986) (approving royalty based on expected net profit). Enlow's opinion that AmHoist "would agree to pay a royalty in excess of what it expected to make in profit" was, in light of all the evidence in this case, absurd. See Hanson v. Alpine Valley Ski Area, Inc., 718 F.2d 1075, 1081, 219 USPQ 679, 684-85 (Fed. Cir. 1983) (approving royalty that would leave reasonable profit). In view of the sparse and totally inadequate record Lindemann created at trial, we cannot say that Lindemann proved entitlement to an award greater than $10,000.
Lindemann says the magistrate "had no authority" to find nonwillfulness because "the view of this Court on willfulness [in Lindemann I ] became the law of the case." That assertion is wholly without foundation.5 This court expressed in Lindemann I no view whatever on infringement, let alone on willfulness. On the contrary, this court expressly declined Lindemann's request that it "affirm" the district court's "decision" on infringement, pointing out that there was neither a finding nor a judgment on infringement and remanding the case for determination of that issue. 730 F.2d at 1463-64, 221 USPQ at 489.
Similarly without merit is Lindemann's argument that the magistrate's finding of nonwillfulness is clearly erroneous. That Magistrate Brown withdrew her initial view on willfulness before entering final judgment gives Lindemann no ground for complaint. Jamesbury Corp. v. Litton Indus. Prods., Inc., 839 F.2d 1544, 1551, 5 USPQ2d 1779, 1784 (Fed. Cir.) cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 109 S. Ct. 80, 102 L. Ed. 2d 57 (1988). The findings of two judges that AmHoist had a good faith belief that the patent was invalid and the effect of Judge Sterling's initial holding of invalidity are not overcome by Lindemann's quoting of parts of counsel's letters out of context. Lindemann's appellate tactic of virtually ignoring the extensive evidence supporting the magistrate's finding cannot possibly persuade us that it submitted the required "clear and convincing" evidence of willfulness; nor does Lindemann evince in us, from a review of the evidence, a "definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed." United States v. United States Gypsum Co., 333 U.S. 364, 395, 68 S. Ct. 525, 542, 92 L. Ed. 746 (1948).
Willfulness being absent, we need only address Lindemann's argument that the magistrate committed clear error when she failed to find, on the basis of AmHoist's subsequent stipulation, that AmHoist had pursued its noninfringement defense "vexatiously and frivolously" at trial. The simple and complete answer, recognized by the magistrate, is that the stipulation of infringement on remand does not ipso facto establish that Amhoist's earlier litigation of the issue was either vexatious or frivolous. On the contrary, AmHoist's reduction of the issues by its stipulation was a praiseworthy step, beneficial to the courts and the parties.6
Our review of the record reveals that the magistrate correctly determined, as did Judge Sterling before her, that Lindemann was not entitled to attorney fees under the exceptional case provision of 35 U.S.C. § 285.CONCLUSION
The judgment is affirmed.
In the words of Elihu Root, " [a]bout half of the practice of a decent lawyer is telling would-be clients that they are damned fools and should stop." McCandless v. Great Atl. & Pac. Tea Co., 697 F.2d 198, 201-02 (7th Cir. 1983)
Because Lindemann did not compete in the sale of its invention in the United States, it did not, as it could not, seek damages on the basis of lost profits
Middleton v. Wiley, 195 F.2d 844, 93 USPQ 77 (8th Cir. 1952) ("nominal" damages of $1), cited by Lindemann, is clearly distinguishable on the difference between $1 and $10,000, particularly where, as here, the award is more than three times the damages proposed by the defendant
Foregoing a cross-appeal designed to reduce the award by $7,000, AmHoist thereby admirably served its own true interest and that of the court. Though AmHoist's brief says Lindemann's failure of proof should have resulted in zero damages, we need decide only whether the magistrate awarded an amount that was too low. As indicated in the text, she did not
Lindemann founds the assertion on one phrase in this court's reference to Lindemann's argument and on its attempted conversion of that phrase into a "determination" and an "issue decided" by this court
We similarly find no merit in Lindemann's cryptic, unsupported assertion that AmHoist's motion for reconsideration was untimely
of Federal Circuit opinions.

Sasse Wins Final Approval As University Of Florida President; Will Resign Senate Seat In Jan
November 11 , 2022 12:30 am November 9 , 2022 7:23 pm by John Axtell
Nebraska Republican U-S Senator Ben Sasse has won final approval to become the 13th president of the University of Florida, capping a swift and sometimes contentious process.
He was confirmed for the post by the state university system Board of Governors on a voice vote Wednesday, a day earlier than planned because of Hurricane Nicole.
Sasse said after the vote that he will resign from the Senate in early January and take over at Florida the next month, tweeting "Thrilled to join Gator Nation in February."
Sasse faced student and faculty protests during campus visits last month with his conservative politics the major issue, including his opposition to same-sex marriage.
He repeated to the governors his pledges not to be involved in partisan politics in any form and to support having people from diverse backgrounds at the school, saying "We want no bullying. We want no intimidation. I want us to be a place that has open hearts and thick skin."
Sasse added that vigorous debate over ideas is a key part of the university's mission and that he wants Florida "to be a place that challenges young men and women with new ideas, even if they are uncomfortable. We want the University of Florida to be a place that embraces debate."
The Board of Governors had nothing but praise for Sasse's selection, with board member Tim Cerio saying the senator has won over many skeptics on campus and adding "People need to listen to him and give him a shot."
The University Board of Trustees had unanimously approved Sasse as the school's next president Nov. 1. Officials said Sasse's compensation package amounts to about $1.6 million a year.

When Ben Sasse was on the senate floor Feb 2019 and stated that "women in their 4th trimester were getting abortions" I called his office and asked what is a '4th' trimester. I never got an answer. To think someone this stupid would be president of a university is beyond belief. Or even a senator. Speech available on CSpan archives.

As Steve clarified, there's no way currently to select only transitions in the media players.
So, I'd like to suggest a right-mouse click option that would do that (and allow enmasse deletion or changes).
Particularly useful when you've got 50-100 graphics with transitions!
Maybe a keyboard shortcut too? Like ALT+DELETE, sort of the reverse of ALT+F.
