Yeah......."people here".......you arent dick-ish at all too.......he posted a pic,you wont answer OTHER peoples' questions.....yeah.....aren't at -shocking- all....
Whoa. So you're definition of "dick-ish" is "not answering other people's questions"?
Really? That's the bar where you set "dick-ish"? C'mon. I'm not your "answer-monkey." I've answered a number of your questions in the past. There's no law here-- and I'm under NO obligation-- to answer any of them. Especially some of the questions that you, yourself, have asked in a very loaded way.
Look, I have to get out two to three books a month-- and working on those with my creative team and sweating over all the details-- THAT'S how I'm going to spend most of time at this keyboard. Any time I spend on the internet is extra. I am on a number of sites and I answer a lot of questions over there. Most of the time I spend online interacting with fans are over at Twitter, FB, and CBR (in that order. I also do Formspring once in a blue moon). That's my choice.
Most of the time I'm here on ComicVine it's primarily for 1 reason-- someone is posting some insane shit about the numbers and/or ranking of our book-- stuff that is so off in Conspiracy Loony Land-- that it reaches the point where I pop up and set the record straight. For 9 months we've had what has consistently been Marvel's BEST performing ongoing title. Outside of the GOTG issue that tied into Age of Ultron, brought in a controversial character from the Spawn Universe, AND was co-guest-written by Neil Gaiman, we've had a pretty good streak-- TWICE a month to boot. Everyone in the industry, the trades, the comic web sites, and the majority of the fan base take this as an indisputable fact. For no other reason than... it is. :-)
But there are some out there who feel the need to fabricate some pretty loopy and labyrinthine logic-- where they hold up the (inaccurate) numbers from the monthly estimates and try to convince you that black is white, white is black, and-- basically-- that a book that's doing something that they don't personally like (story-wise) is failing.
They chart this stuff and try to prove to you that since our first issues sold so well-- and sales for those past issues kept INCREASING due to going back to press a number of times OUT OF DEMAND-- that the sales of the current and later issues are POORER (even when they're still the HIGHEST sales for Marvel ongoing titles in those months). It's one of the cleverest ways I've seen someone spin something that everyone else thinks is a STRENGTH and present it as a WEAKNESS since the Swiftboaters made Senator John Kerry's purple hearts sound like a BAD thing.
They try to pass off the standard attrition of any Top 50 title as something UNIQUE to Superior Spider-Man (which is INSANE).
And those are just a couple examples of some of the shell games I see going on here. I'd cite more, but, dear God, that'd have me typing this ALL DAY! (And, oh boy, are they going to have a field day with the September rankings-- where DC practically doubled their output during villain month, with books tied to their Forever Evil event, and released them with a low supply of 3D covers-- causing a mad scramble by retailers to get copies-- and way over-inflating demand. That "Perfect Storm" of criteria is going to see DC books throw the entire September numbers out of whack and play havoc with normal rankings. It probably won't be till the August numbers are released that you'll see the big picture of how much Villains Month altered the regular "weather patterns"-- so to speak. But whatever the case, it will provide the Chicken Littles of the world LOTS of fodder for whatever arguments they'd like to make.)
Look, while the numbers these dissenters are using for a lot of their charts ARE the same numbers that other web sites and places online use to conduct their analyses-- what's really at fault (and I've been consistent about saying this) is their CRITERIA for WHY those numbers perform one way or the other-- their basic lack of knowledge of how the comic industry works and their assumptions for WHY things track the way they do can be laughable. And that's when I feel the need to pop in here, for no other reason than to sort that nonsense out.
I hope you can appreciate that if someone was doing something THIS messed up-- and spreading egregious misinformation about something YOU worked on, that YOU'D want to show up and set the record straight as well. Is that fair?
Can you concentrate on WHAT i am writing?.....really.......
You really think this is about answering?.....i reffered to the frase
"people here"
as offenssive.And you saying sarcastically "Hey, why don't you hang out here more and answer our questions?" ......THAT'S why i wrote the word "questions" in my reply.Read the text,UNDERSTAND the content,and then write an 8 paragraph reply,to something i didnt mean.
And of cource i respect your choices,how to answer questions.....i just found the oportunity to post some here,when i dont get answers on the official SSM marvel message board a.k.a. your Twitter .... ;-)
(i am not blocked,you just dont see em,or you are bussy to answer them.)
And if you're basic argument is, "If you're NOT our 'answer monkey', you deserve stuff like that picture," that's not a really enticing reason to answer you about anything at all. :-/
ARE YOU FOR REAL MAN!?!.......i NEVER said that,and i never insaulted you in ANY way possible.I never called you names,or whatsoever.So yeah,i find that offensive,and demeaning.When i talk to you,i always try to talk about Spider-Man.Hell,if i were you, i would appreciate,that i am one of the few people here,who talks specifically to you about the characters(or at least i try to talk about them) and not sales numbers,and how it sucks that Peter is dead,and how you suck cause you killed him,and how you mock people in the forums,and ALL this crap.
I.Care.For.Spider-Man.
I have no problem with you,please live a long and happy life,sir.I had a problem with you,in December,but it was fan-rage.I got over it,and it was stupid of me.So,when some weeks ago you said that you're not answering to me,cause i am not respectful to you,i found that not cool,and more specifically wrong.
So no,dear man.....my arguement isnt this,and will never be,something like this.

@danslott: the numbers don't matter , I was a huge wrestling fan up until recently, you see wrestling went downhill fast when they started focusing on the nielson ratings. honestly sales can be good but the product tends to suffer long term due to what in the wrestling world they call hotshot booking. you can continue pointing to numbers all you like but let's not kid ourselves superior Spiderman is hotshot booking by definition

The more I read @danslott's responses the more I like him. The more I read the anti-Slott responses the more everyone just seems to be whining and ridiculous. Look, I'm not the biggest fan of Spock and I'm usually the one putting something up about numbers (not because I think the book is doing bad but because I sometimes like to instigate). Anyone who thinks that numbers shouldn't matter is living in a dream land. It's a lack of numbers that got Scarlet Spider and Venom canceled. Hopefully you can have quality to go along with the numbers and I would argue in comics you have to. People want to make the Justin Bieber or John Cena argument that numbers and popularity don't equal quality and while I agree I don't think that counts with comics. Bieber and Cena are popular because tweens and children like them and their parents buy them their merchandise. I'm really just guessing and don't have numbers, but I would bet most comic readers are 15 and up. That means you're more likely to have someone spending their money on something they actually like and enjoy rather than what culture says is popular. If people like Spock that's fine; they obviously do with the way it sales. Dan's not a bad writer. The art in Superior is usually pretty great. People just don't like the direction, but to say sales don't matter or that if you let sales drive then you lose quality in comics is a moot point because if quality drops then so do sales.
Anyways, I've rambled enough. Kudos Mr Slott on your honest response about numbers. I'm not going to post anymore about them because it is obvious that they mean more to you than just numbers. To everyone else, quit crying and making him out to be a bad guy. Peter will be back eventually, until then go read Superman Unchained or Batman year one. They're both pretty good.
@dernman: He gets here,and starts an arguement.And sometimes he accuses me of something i havent done.I cant sit down and do nothing about it.
I always start a conversation about Spider-Man.The guy,who is the f*cking center of attention in this forum.It ends up in a lot of different places,from there.
I'm not saying you're wrong for feeling you have to defend yourself. If I was involved I would be feeling the same thing. I'm just saying it's a no win repeating cycle if you engage. Going by the fact he spends so much time on multiple boards it looks like he's looking to engage people on his terms. So refuse to give him that.

@danslott this has to be mentioned if you want to bring up upcoming sales figures. With Venom and Scarlet Spider coming to a end in the near future I really dont feel you can point to sales numbers for superior , what i mean by that is with those books ending im sure some of the Scarlet/Venom fans will pick up Superior since its the only 616 fix for a "Spiderman". I really really really hope if readers do pick up for Superior you might be humble enough accept that it might be due to those 2 "cult" books coming to a end

I do pick up inferior from time to time (whenever something that I like happen like especial "guests") and I keep up with it (I know what's happening but I don't buy the book), and like I say before it's not bad but it's NOT a spiderman book and that why I don't like it. I also think that after the cancelation of venom and scarlet the sales of "inferior" will have a boost. And I also think that is the plan. They are cancelling "low" sales books or that aren't selling as good as they should in order to boost the sales of other that even if it's selling well the sales of that book are dropping little by little (a little every month but dropping anyway)
Could the events of Darkest Hours have anything to do with what Slott said on twitter.

I am not a fan of the direction of Superior, or the end of the Amazing run for that matter. I stopped buying with Superior, but I have followed along just in case something happens that I might be interested in. I bought my first two issues of Superior with the appearance of O'Hara, and they weren't bad. I still don't like the character of Doctor Spiderpus and I probably won't be buying any more issues after Miguel is out (the venom issue might get me to pick it up). I have read quite a few issues though, I follow along with the story and have been able to read most of the issues through Marvel unlimited or stopping by the local bookstore.
Buying the 2099 issues has been bittersweet. I would much prefer to see Pete interacting with 2099 again, and I don't like to support the current direction of the book by purchasing it, but I do want to support 2099. Still want to see a 2099/Ultimate/Amazing (Pete) follow-up to Spider-Men. I'm a little worried that Mr. Slott will kill off Miguel to "change Spider-Man forever" or whatever. Much like Ock being Spider-man can't last forever, neither could killing off Miguel.

• From the haunted heights of a mysterious castle to the dizzying depths of the deep seas, the Amazing Spider-Man has to take on not one, not six, not twelve – but ninety-nine of the Marvel Universe's deadliest villains to save the lives of countless innocents!
• Matt Kindt (Mind MGMT) and Marco Rudy (Swamp Thing) bring you a defining hour in the life of the webbed wonder in a race against time and a battle against evil.
The latest teaser from Marvel might have something to do with SpOck and if it does, couldn't happened to a nicer guy. (in case you missed it that's sarcasm there)
All-New Marvel NOW! Teasers Reach 'THE END'
Marvel's "All-New Marvel NOW!" have reached "THE END."
Now it's a few weeks before New York Comic Con and hell, there's many hours left today, so we have no idea if it's the end of the teasers, but something is coming to an end in 2014 and given whatever is it's by Dan Slott and Giuseppe Camuncoli, and since it will be revealed at the publisher's Superior Spider-Man & Friends panel, it's a pretty safe bet it's Superior Spider-Man related (the end of Otto's takeover?), but that purple font treatment is a head scratcher. After all, purple and "the end" have a certain "Galactus" feel to them, and Slott's other teaser, the silver word "Rad" seems to point directly at Galactus's former herald Silver Surfer. Still, the Spider-Man panel part links it right back to Superior. There are a few Spidey villains with purple in their motif, including Mysterio and of course the Green Goblin - Goblin has been central to the entire overarc story of Superior, so maybe, just maybe, he'll be the one to take Otto-Spidey down.
Stay tuned during the rest of Friday to see if there are any more teasers, and in face you missed them, check out Marvel's TRIAL and JUDGMENT and then MINDBUBBLE, RAD!, and CORPORATE teasers from earlier this week.

Big Bang Theory delivers punishing blow to Superior Spider-Man; Dan Slott feigns delight
Do the writers of The Big Bang Theory read this blog? If not, it appears as though we're on the exact same wavelength when it comes to Dan Slott's Superior Spider-Man.
Here is what I said on February 1st after Dan Slott stalked "The Main Event" and got intellectually body slammed:
"It was only a few weeks ago that Dan Slott thought long-time Spider-Man fans would be okay reading a rip-off of 2003′s "Freaky Friday" starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan — only with Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus. (Or was that 1988′s "Vice Versa" starring Judge Reinhold and Fred Savage?)"
Dan Slott's general response to me over the course of Superior Spider-Man has been to call me an idiot multiple times while abusing the caps-lock button, to call me a "bad person," and to try and link me with some guy I don't even know who writes fan fiction Spider-Man porn.
Now, take the most recent episode of The Big Bang Theory:
Howard: What were they thinking putting Doctor Octopus' mind in Peter Parker's body?
Raj: I've been quite enjoying that. It combines all the superhero fun of Spider-Man with all the body-switching shenanigans of 'Freaky Friday.'
Dan Slott's reaction? Feigned joy!
Let me spell it out for Mr. Slott and everyone else who keeps saying "Raj likes the Superior Spider-Man": The reality is that the writers just made a joke that cut deep — at Dan Slott's expense.
When a character on a television says he loves Superior Spider-Man because it reminds him of the "shenanigans of 'Freaky Friday," it is the equivalent of a Little Mac power punch to Mike Tyson on the old school NES. Correction: a Little Mac power punch to Glass Joe.
Howard asks "What were they thinking?" and the response — accentuated by the laugh track — was that Marvel killed off Peter Parker for what is essentially a rehashed version of Freaky Friday. Congratulations. Freaky Friday grossed $110 million dollars, so using the 'Slott Rule' for success, we only have to wait a few more decades before people realize the genius of Lindsay Lohan's portrayal of Anna Coleman.
As I've said before, I believe there is room in the Marvel Universe for Doctor Octopus to play the "Superior Freaky Friday Spider-Man." I am not opposed to having a megalomaniac running around New York with spider-powers. I just think that executing Peter Parker (twice) so that Dan Slott can make Jamie Lee Octavius everyone's favorite wall crawler was a error of monumental proportions.
Ask yourself this question, Spider-Man fans: Knowing what you know about how Dan Slott conducts himself on message boards, how would he respond if someone said that they hated Superior Spider-Man because it was little more than 'Freaky Friday' with Marvel characters? Now ask yourself why he took to Twitter to feign admiration for a joke told at his expense. Perhaps because it's a little more dangerous to mock and ridicule the writers of The Big Bang Theory than it is to personally attack the average fan? Hmmm.
Thank you, writers of The Big Bang Theory, for delivering a KNOCK OUT blow to this abomination.
@animehunter: Yeah,they handled it right.

Oy vey. Why are people taking Douglas Ernst seriously about anything?
I've seen Douglas Ernst post that he believes that Treyvon Martin instigated the attack that lead to his death.
Douglas Ernst believes that the week Ben Shapiro was slamming an NBA star for coming out-- the week Ben Shapiro was making national headlines for being called out as a homophobe-- that when Chris Evans said he didn't like Shapiro it was BECAUSE-- in Douglas Ernst warped view of reality-- that Chris Evans was embarrassed that Shapiro "lost" some debate against Piers Morgan. No. It couldn't have been the homophobe-thing. It was some late night news show debate.
Douglas Ernst believes that I, a Jew, would create an anti-Semitic Spider-Man-- because of ONE LINE taken out of context in a comic book.
Douglas Ernst believes that I should have had PeterParker/Spider-Man LEAVE North Korean soldiers to die instead of SAVING them.
Douglas Ernst isn't an idiot. Douglas Ernst thinks YOU'RE idiots and that he can bend and twist anything in deceptive ways to get YOU to think what HE wants.
Stop enabling this deceptive human being.
So what's his NEW claim?
That I "feigned" delight at one of the highest rated network shows calling out my book to 8 million viewers?
If by "feigning" he means-- happily tweeting about it the moment it happened, posting it on FB, calling all my friends on the West Coast to tune in, and then calling my folks? Then "feigning" must have some new definition I'm not aware of.
Seriously, this is DOUGLAS ERNST.
This is the manipulative ass who took one line of dialogue COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT and ran a feature claiming that I-- a Jew-- who personally knows people who've survived the Holocaust-- was creating an anti-Semitic Spider-Man-- and then DOUGLAS ERNST made the MAIN GRAPHIC of that horrible and shameful piece THIS GRAPHIC of Jewish remains being taken out of concentration camp ovens:
Douglas Ernst was clearly in the wrong-- and horribly offensive-- in the WORST way a human being could possibly be. He has NEVER apologized for that BASELESS, DISGUSTING, and REPREHENSIBLE attack. He has stuck to his guns that he was in the right for doing this TERRIBLE and ATROCIOUS thing. Douglas Ernst is a bad person. Plain and simple. Why you people give him the time of day here I'll never know.

But seriously, I've been reading comics for 30 years and some of the stuff I see here is a bit much.
Writing a 10 page treatise on why only your vision of Spider-Man should be written, should really take a back seat to getting to interact with an author at all.
I'm glad for the folks that are fans, and even the ones that don't like Spider-Ock, but are able to have faith in what authors do, and the magic of story-telling and comic books in general.
Stories are journeys, and not every journey has picture perfect scenery or fantastic weather, its about the entire trip.
As always when things turn sour in these Spider threads lately, I await the next development.

Ah yes, once again Dan Slott goes to personal attacks instead of you know, actually discussing the questions posed about Superior Spider-Man. Dan Slott talks about Trayvon Martain and Ben Shaprio (distorting my words as usual, as is his M.O.), instead of discussing Superior Spider-Man. I didn't know you read my blog, Mr. Slott. Either you really like torturing yourself by reading the blog posts of a "bad" person, or you were trying to find material to distract people for moments like this. Which is it?
The question at hand for fans is this: Was Superior Spider-Man worth it? Was it worth killing Peter Parker (twice) for this length of time so that a glorified version of "Freaky Friday" (as observed by the writers of The Big Bang Theory and myself) could play out? Is it worth it that for a good chunk of time during their formative years, young readers get The Superior Spider-Man to try and set their moral compass to? Is it worth all the damage done to the supporting cast, whose intelligence seems to have been lowered by a good 20 points so that SSM can continue?
These are all debatable issues, but you would rather attack me personally over and over and over again. You say you don't know why readers give me "the time of day," while readily acknowledging that you've read my posts unrelated to Spider-Man. The truth is, it irks you to no end that a.) I have legitimate gripes about the book that have resonated with others, and b.) that it's done on a platform where you and your friends in the industry can't censor me.
I've said that there is a place for Spider-Ock in the Marvel Universe. I've said I liked the new costume. I've said that the art was pretty darn cool. I've even said that some issues provided interesting nuggets of thought to chew on. But I've also said that the decision to move forward with Superior Spider-Man was an editorial blunder of epic proportions that will become crystal clear in the years to come. Again, we can debate that — but you'd rather go to the "bad person" discussions. Yawn. Do you think that individuals are as confused as the current supporting cast of Superior Spider-Man? I don't.
@noteworthington: @danslott get real.... I'm sorry but you can't put the tone of the viner voices all on us, im not saying everyone here is innocent but lets not turn a blind eye to the flame bait , I for one appreciate when he comes on to answer questions HOWEVER if he feels the need to throw a stone back all the power to him. If you want to have a proper discussion on the pros and cons of Superior this is the right place, if you want name calling create a new thread your unwelcome here
p.s whoever this douglas guy is he sounds like a raving god damn lunatic, people like him that are filled with that kind of hate should not be mentioned on CV again

Just wanted to ask a question regarding issues 7-8 of Superior Spider-Man, where the Avengers show up to give Spock a physical to see if he was the true Spider-Man.
So my question is, why did Spidey-Ock get a slap on the wrist after everything he did and was allowed to walk away with no real consequences for his actions. Beating others into the inch of their life, and even attacking Captain America and the rest of the Avengers without real cause. At the very least I could have seen them holding him for a while, telepathing him, or taking away his Avengers membership. I mean I realize they are not the police, but the brutality he unleashed on his victims should have them wanting to do something with him imo, anger management sessions perhaps? He obviously wasn't in a stable state is what I'm basically saying.
As for the series it's self I think it's interesting what you've done, and while I'd like old Petey back, I feel like you've done a good job at making Spock into a character that everyone hates, The readers, and the characters in his universe. It feels like I'm just waiting for Peter to make his return, and for Doc Ock to get what's coming to him. I'm curious if this is how you wanted the series direction to go.
And last but not least, my first comic ever was number 700 of Amazing Spider-Man. While I thought the original idea was stupid, the way the story was told was done very well, and made me become a comic book fan that I am today, so I thought I'd give my kudos to you on that, so keep up the hard work.
....also please make Scarlet Spider, and Venom have more appearances in the current Spidey series...I'm sad to see them being canceled :(
@mrgreenlantern: I suppose if you just believed what was said about me instead of actually asking me about Superior Spider-Man you'd think those things. Hate? I don't hate anyone. I'm perfectly willing to discuss the merits of the book. Mr. Slott would prefer to have you talking about random blog posts I wrote that have nothing to do with Spider-Man, such as the Trayvon Martin case (framed, of course, the way he'd like them framed).
@douglas_ernst_1 said:

The idea that Douglas Ernst DOESN'T go for personal attacks is laughable. Take it from someone (a Jew) he's tried to tar as doing things to promote anti-Semitism. A good person would NOT do that for the sake of some internet argument about Spider-Man. It's DEPLORABLE.
I didn't know you read my blog, Mr. Slott. Either you really like torturing yourself by reading the blog posts of a "bad" person, or you were trying to find material to distract people for moments like this. Which is it?
All I've read are the distortions you've said in some of your threads about me and my work. As someone who's had to deal with honest to God death threats this past year-- bad enough for the NYPD's cyber crime unit to be brought in-- I know that there can be repercussions for internet speech. If someone, like you, who is in the habit of spreading gross falsehoods about me online, I am interested to see if any of them rise to the level of being liable and actionable.

One: Increased interest in Spider-Man, fans returning to the title, and a jump in readership of 20,000 more than were following the core Spider-Man title BEFORE this storyline would be very concrete evidence that, yes, the journey the book's been taking has been worth it.
Even the people who are riled up about it have caused constant awareness for the title-- and are probably a large reason why the book is one of the highest ordered, reordered, and advance reordered every month for Mavel-- TWICE a month. So naysayers, and people-- like Douglas Ernst-- who pay so much attention to it-- do half our work for us.
Two: To say that both the writers of The Big Bang Theory AND Douglas Ernst have said the SAME thing about SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN is laughable. Because when someone says something, it's not JUST what they say, but HOW they say it. Douglas Ernst rips into the book with bile and contempt. The joke on The Big Bang Theory was said with a smile and by a loveable nerd who used the comment to ENDORSE the book, saying they liked it and thought it was fun. The only character who dissed the book that night was an angry nerd who-- we find out later-- was literally overdosing on estrogen.
Is it worth it that for a good chunk of time during their formative years, young readers get The Superior Spider-Man to try and set their moral compass to?
The story has been running for 9 months. According to the mind of Douglas Ernst, 9 months equals "a good chunk of time" during a readers formative years. This explains a lot. Like how on the Douglas Ernst clock, taking seconds to save the lives of fallen enemy soldiers is "precious" time that Peter Parker/Spider-Man could've spent saving the world.
Also, anyone who is actually reading the book would know that the Superior Spider-Man is hardly a role model. He is an anti-hero whose actions are constantly admonished by the cast-- like he was recently by Robbie Robertson in the Hobgoblin arc. The book is called "Superior Spider-Man" because that is how Otto sees himself. Anyone with an open mind-- and, again, who is actually READING THE BOOK-- could tell you that. Douglas Ernst is neither. He has said numerous times that he is NOT reading the book. Like the "good" pundit he is, he has found people who think like himself who give their slanted reviews and synopses of the book-- and he takes that as a given for what is actually going on in the pages. He has said numerous times that-- at best-- he goes to the store and flips through the book. But that's just so he can arm himself with more fodder for his distortions at his blog. This is not a person who is interested in giving the book a fair shake. This is a guy who is on the attack and only looking for ammo.
You say you don't know why readers give me "the time of day," while readily acknowledging that you've read my posts unrelated to Spider-Man. The truth is, it irks you to no end that a.) I have legitimate gripes about the book that have resonated with others, and b.) that it's done on a platform where you and your friends in the industry can't censor me.
The only comments I've read are comments in threads where you spread distortions about the book I've worked on. The fact that YOUR take on Treyvon Martin INSTIGATING the attack that lead to his death-- or YOUR take that actor Chris Evans didn't like Ben Shapiro over some late night talk show debate INSTEAD of Shapiro's nationally covered homophobic comments-- that THOSE arguments of YOURS worked their way into your comment section about Superior Spider-Man is entirely on you and the way you present your "arguments."
I also LOVE that you keep thinking myself or Marvel had ANYTHING to do with you being "censored" in a Newsarama comment section-- in an article that was taking ME to task over something. A sensible person would have reached the OBVIOUS conclusion that if myself or Marvel had that kind of power that entire article would have been taken down. A sensible person might have realized that the comment section had a post limit and OTHER criteria for taking down a NUMBER of posts on either side. But in the mind of Douglas Ernst, he is the voice of truth that is being censored-- despite all common sense to the contrary.
Again, we can debate that — but you'd rather go to the "bad person" discussions. Yawn. Do you think that individuals are as confused as the current supporting cast of Superior Spider-Man? I don't.
A good person does not try to use a word balloon taken out of context to imply that a Jewish comic book creator is promoting anti-Semitism in their comics.
A good person does not say that about someone who knew people who survived the Holocaust.
A good person does not punctuate their cruel and despicable distortions with a picture of Jewish remains being taken out of a concentration camp oven.
Someone who is NOT a good person leaves that up in their blog.
Someone who is NOT a good person continues to defend it through all manner of rationalizations.
Someone who is NOT a good person offers no apology or retraction and stays SMUG whenever the matter is brought up.
"Yawn"? Your response to this is "yawn"?
That pretty much says it all, doesn't it?

This is easily the biggest, and best, garage sale to be seen at in the history of Far North Queensland.
Former Cairns LNP candidate, Joel Harrop invites you over to unload your stimulus package at his place this weekend.
We aren't talking junk, good quality stuff at bargain prices. Economic models indicate my comprehensive sale will have more economic impact than the federal stimulus packages. In fact, come along with your $900 and give it to me. Economic modeling provided by Treasury has forecast that this garage sale will create 60,000 Queensland jobs over the next three years.
From TVs to Dishwashers to household trinkets, kitchen appliances and baby gear, there is something for everybody... all in perfect working order. If I listed all of the bargains, your head would probably explode*! If you were to be anywhere else this weekend, you would be insane**.
During the garage sale, all power will be generated through renewable energy***, with the activity achieving a negative carbon emission. Unfortunately, the ETS isn't in place yet, so that doesn't really help me much, but it is saving the planet. Data provided by CAFNEC forecasts a decrease in global temperature by 2c as a direct result of this garage sale****.
This garage sale is a bicycle friendly activity with a spot on the front lawn specifically for pushies. Out specially designed garden hose is connected to our un-fluoridated water source, which is not part of Nullinga Dam project. However, anyone who wants water should be aware that this garage sale has a strict demand management practice in place, and mild levels of dehydration are deemed acceptable in order to save our Wild Rivers.
This garage sale signed the petition to stop the destruction of the Yacht Club, and Di Forsyth actually carried a copy of this advertisement with her when she scaled the building.
Throughout the conduct of the garage sale, movement corridors for cassowaries will be maintained. Furthermore, this garage sale is doing its bit to protect our bio-diversity, with a beautiful sensitive weed bloom occurring throughout the property.
The Greens were going to preference this garage sale over all other garage sales, but at the end of the day preferenced Labor in 14 other garage sales.
Unfortunately, not everyone supports this garage sale. Councillor Kirsten Lesina opposes it, but doesn't know why. Syd Walker is concerned that it is sponsored by the Israeli government, and Barry Daniels believes that it is a National Party conspiracy. Whereas Stuey Traill is expected to attend the sale, but will be protesting on behalf of a Union he is not a member of.
See you at 6 Tradewinds Close, Redlynch this Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th. Only Australian bananas will be served.
*Heads may not actually explode. 6 in 10 people participating in controlled studies, including a placebo test group, suffered head explosion. None from the placebo group suffered explosive side effect.
** Actual levels of sanity may vary. A psychologist will be available on the day, but as the insane people won't be at the sale, that isn't really much help.
*** Power provided by sun.
**** CAFNEC oppose this garage sale due to it contributing to the new phenomena of global cooling.


infinitee client, BECO Asset, wanted to increase brand awareness about their new, 70,000 SF mixed-use development, Bridgeport Suffolk, at the ICSC RECon convention in Las Vegas. ICSC RECon is the world's largest global gathering of real estate professionals making it the perfect place and time to announce the project. The goal was to generate leads by capturing device IDs during the conference and remarketing viewers for 30-days post RECon encouraging attendees to submit their emails to download a Fact Sheet and garner interest in the project featuring multifamily, retail, and office components.
infinitee capitalized on the opportunity to get in front of a highly targeted audience in one location for a short amount of time. A geofencing campaign was the perfect solution to capture the attention of 37,000 qualified people in 30,000 SF over 3 days. (For those of you who have never experienced RECon… that's a lot of people in a small space who are on-the-go for 72 hours straight!) We developed a series of 3 brand awareness ads to serve to this highly targeted audience attending the conference via geofencing parameters and captured a pool of device IDs for retargeting.
Messages were cleverly developed for maximum relevancy at each touchpoint.

the name "admin" is a example. any name i want to put.
Please do not mix up users and email addresses. You can have of course a email address [email protected] and a email address [email protected], but usernames have to be uniqe for the complete server, thats why ISPConfig uses a username prefix for the linux user names.
So, i can create emails with the same name and diferent domain.

It's OK To Act Like A Fan You Know….
A chance encounter with Nicky Wire in a shop got our man Simon Tucker thinking about a music fan's attitude and if it's ok to act like a fan.
So I'm walking through my local branch of M&S (other highly priced shops are available) with my wife and son when in the distance I notice a familiar face walking towards me. It was the face of Nicky Wire, bassist and lyricist with The Manic Street Preachers. Knowing my wife's love of the band I turned and pointed out the fact that he was walking towards us to which I got the reply "Don't say nothing Si, don't say nothing Si". I obeyed my wife's demands and just gave a courteous "hello" to which Wire responded with the same and onward we walked. After talking my wife down from the ceiling I started thinking about how we music fans do, and should react, when we meet those artists that we most admire. Is it ok to behave like a fan anymore? How should we react when we see them in a social situation? Do we "play it cool Trig" or do we go clambering all over them desperate for a selfie and a signed face?
Music fans are a dedicated bunch. We invest not only our money but our heart and soul into the music we love. These albums that we discovered when we first started developing our own tastes and personality help us shape our world view and go a long way to making us the people we eventually become. Think about the books, films, art that you have investigated because your favorite musician/band has name-checked them. Think about your political beliefs and how that has been shaped not only by your immediate surroundings but by musicians and the causes they lent their support to.
Putting all of this together and of course we are going to feel a bit giddy when we meet that artist in the flesh. It is only natural. I have been lucky enough to meet a few artists who I have greatly admired over the years and these instances have ranged from the embarrassing to the lovely. The first time I met a musician I HUGELY admired was when I was at a gig in Cardiff seeing this guy's band play (he shall remain nameless to save my embarrassment and the fact that I have met and worked in some form for the man since also gives me reason to keep the guy's name private) and he was stood right next to me watching the support band. My stomach dropped when I noticed who was stood next to me. I simply couldn't believe that I was stood next to someone who had not only soundtracked my teenage life but had also soundtracked many nights that me and my now wife have spent together in our relationship. I struggled with what I should do so I did what everyone does and went to the bar, got a stiff drink, downed it and marched up to the guy. It was at this point that I tapped him on his shoulder, shook his hand and commenced with the following exchange
Me "thank you"
Him "for what?"
Me "the music"
It was at this point I bolted back to the bar immersed in a blanket of shame and embarrassment. "Thank you for the music???" what the fuck was I thinking? What a cringeworthy thing to say. Anyway, I'm glad to say that we talked again later in the night and it went much much better.
There was also the time I served Stuart Braithwaite in the record stall I was working at Green Man Festival. I was literally about to press play on a Mogwai album when I looked up and noticed he was in. Anyway, this time things went much better and I just went for it, asking him to sign an autograph for my brother who is a huge Mogwai fan and chatting politely. Stuart was charming and very approachable and that made me swear that from now on I will always approach musicians I love and chat to them IF the situation is correct.
This is actually the main point when it comes to approaching someone you admire. They are indeed human like the rest of us and I'm sure they would not like being approached by people when they're having dinner with their family or shopping with their children but if you think it feels right, then go for it. Say hello, ask for that autograph. This attitude has served me well helping me have the confidence to chat to David Pajo at a Goat gig or chatting on a frequent basis to David R Edwards whenever I see him in town.
One Direction recently asked their fans to give them some space when they were in New York but what they must surely realize is that they are dealing with a mainly teenage/hormonal audience who are pouring every bit of their fevered emotions into their devotion to the band, directing all that raging lust and passion onto them.
Punk intended to break down the barriers between audience and fans that had come as big as Everest during the glam/prog years and they succeeded but this does not mean that you should act all cool and coy around a band you love. However crumbled that barrier is, they're still creating a new universe for those who chose to join them on their artistic journey and this should be celebrated. Yes they are indeed human and down to earth people (in most cases) but they are still doing something that many of us can't and that is giving voice to thousands of people and helping them deal with life's struggles. THEY are the ones who are there in the bedroom of the depressed teenager helping them to feel part of something. THEY are the ones who soundtrack the first dance at a wedding or the long march out of a church at the end of life. THEY are the ones who soundtrack the moment many babies first enter the world. THEY are the ones who you can turn up loud when you want to piss off your parents. THEY are the ones who help you forge friendships that will last an eternity as they bring you into the orbit of similar kin. THEY are the ones who soundtracked that loss of virginity or the utter hell of that first break-up.
So don't be ashamed to be and act like a fan. If in doubt, just go for it. You may be pleasantly surprised by the reaction you get.

Michael Jackson didn't know Eddie Van Halen put solos in Beat It | Music | Entertainment
Michael Jackson had many successful singles from his many multi-award-winning albums, such as Bad, which featured five number one singles, and Off The Wall, which saw Jackson receive his first ever Grammy Award. The star's biggest selling album of all time, Thriller, was released in 1982, and included the hit song Beat It. In 2017, the album was certified 33x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
But while most of the music was 100 per cent written and performed by Jackson, Beat It actually had some unexpected outside influence.
The King of Pop first wrote the track alongside guitarist Steve Lukather as a pop song with a hard rock edge.
At the time, in the 1980s, rock anthems were sprouting up in the charts each year, gaining a strong following for the genre.
But when Eddie Van Halen unexpectedly arrived at the Los Angeles studio, Jackson's producer Quincy Jones invited him to listen to Beat It.

"So I warned him before he listened. I said, 'Look, I changed the middle section of your song.'
"Now, in my mind, he's either going to have his bodyguards kick me out for butchering his song, or he's going to like it."
Thankfully, the star loved it, and even went on to give Van Halen a heartfelt thanks.
The guitarist said: "He gave it a listen, and he turned to me and went: 'Wow, thank you so much for having the passion to not just come in and blaze a solo, but to actually care about the song, and make it better.'"

Despite adding two enormous parts to the song, Van Halen was never paid for his solos and was not credited on the album, nor did he appear in the music video.
However, fans instantly knew it was Van Halen, as the solos included his signature fretboard tapping and screeching guitar sounds.
Because of the musician's help, Beat It went on to become certified 5x Platinum.
Earlier this week Eddie Van Halen sadly passed away following a battle against throat cancer.
His son, Wolf Van Halen, posted a touching tribute to his father, breaking the news to the public.
He wrote on his Twitter account: "I can't believe I'm having to write this, but my father, Edward Lodewijk Van Halen, has lost his long and arduous battle with cancer this morning.
"He was the best father I could ever ask for. Every moment I've shared with him on and off stage was a gift.
"My heart is broken and I don't think I'll ever fully recover from this loss. I love you so much, Pop."

Oppo Watch 3 vs Pro vs Watch 2: what's new and different?
August 11, 2022 August 15, 2022 Marko Maslakovic 960 Views 0 Comments Device matchup, Smartwatch 10 min read
The Oppo Watch 3 series is official as of yesterday. It was revealed at an event in China. The device comes in two distinct models – Oppo Watch 3 and Oppo Watch 3 Pro. These are the first watches to use the new Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 chip. Mobvoi should follow soon with its own device.
Most of the details were leaked ahead of the big day so there were few real surprises. Oppo had also released a few teaser posters prior to the launch.
The Chinese-based outfit has made a name for itself in the smartphone space, and in recent years it is trying to do the same with wearables. This will be no mean task as competition is stiffer than ever.
Oppo Watch 3 and 3 Pro are currently only available for purchase in its home country. No word yet on international availability but this will surely come in the months ahead. It remains to be seen whether both of the new models will be available across its local border.
The obvious questions are what has stayed the same, what's new with the latest generation? Should you upgrade if you have the one of the predecessor devices? Oppo Watch 3 vs Watch 3 Pro vs Watch 2 – let's delve right into all of this right now.
Oppo Watch 3 vs 3 Pro vs Watch 2: Technical specs
Whereas the predecessor generations came in size choices, Oppo has done away with all of this. Now you simply get a Pro and a regular variant, each offered with or without LTE. The Pro comes in a rather large 50mm square case, while the non-Pro model's 43mm measurement is more suited for those with smaller wrists.
Oppo Watch 2, on the other hand, is available in three different models. This includes two size variants, 46mm and 42mm, along with various colour choices. The 42mm is available with WiFi-only or eSIM, the 46mm only with eSIM.
Oppo Watch 3
The look has not changed all that much. So you still get something that broadly resembles the Apple Watch. Which means a square-shaped dial with rounded corners once again.
What has changed are the physical buttons. Gen 2 has two elongated buttons on the right and one of these has an LED indicator in the middle. The non-Pro Gen 3 model has only one elongated button, while Oppo Watch 3 Pro has a more classic-looking crown and a discreet button underneath.
Oppo Watch 3 Pro
As far as the screen, there's a 3D AMOLED on-board with a 60 Hz refresh rate, 326 PPI resolution and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. On Watch 3 its size comes in at 1.75 inches. Watch 3 Pro has a massive 1.91 inch display which also has an LTPO backplane to minimise power consumption. This is a first for the company. The same size-choices are available on the predecessor generation.
The build of the case is a combination of Aluminum alloy frame and fiberglass. This means the watch is very lightweight. All of this is attached to a skin-friendly fluoroelastomer band with a traditional watch buckle to hold it in place.
Water resistance has been standardised across the board. The watches are rated 5 ATM which means you can safely bathe and swim with them.

It's clear that with Watch 3 and 3 Pro, Oppo has not really changed that much in terms of design. Only slight improvements and visual enhancements. But exciting developments can be found under the hood.
Perhaps the biggest upgrade is that the new timepieces feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 which was made official back in July. It works in combination with the Apollo 4 Plus co-processor. The presence of both means that the watch switches between the chipsets based on usage.
The original comes with the 3100 chip. Watches with the latest Qualcomm processor are few and far between. At least for now.
Mobvoi TicWatch 3 Pro is one of the handful that come with the latest tech. Having said that, we are expecting more devices to join this exclusive club in the near future. This includes the new Motorola watches which might land in the coming weeks.
The other important Oppo Watch 3 upgrade is a boost in native storage. This has now been doubled to 32GB.
Sattelite connectivity is there, as before, but with the additions of QZSS and Beidou. The sensors are largely the same. Upgraded, of course, with new tech. The one health sensor addition is ECG on Oppo Watch 3 Pro.
One of the benefits of the new chipset is longer battery life. Oppo Watch 3 Pro can keep going for about 5 days with full usage or a day less with the LTE option. In light mode you can expect about 15 day. Oppo Watch 3 keeps going about the same as Watch 2 – around 4 days with full usage. The watch charge from zero to full in just over an hour.
Here's a run-down of the similarities and differences in design and hardware.

Oppo Watch 3 vs 3 Pro vs Watch 2: Features
The Chinese version of Oppo Watch runs on a ColourOS based on a combination of Android and RTOS. As before, the international version of the new watch is expected to run on Wear OS.
As mentioned, the one important activity tracking addition is the inclusion of an ECG sensor on the Gen 3 Pro model. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a process for measuring heart activity and checking for any abnormalities.
The Oppo Watch 3 series also has other sensor improvements which should reflect in more accurate health and activity tracking. The watches are quite capable and come with more than 100 workouts modes, an accelerometer, gyroscope, geomagnetic sensor, optical heart rate monitor, blood oxygen sensor and air pressure sensor.
Of course, all the activity tracking features of the second generation have been ported over. And they are quite comprehensive. The predecessor watch has received high marks from various review sites, and there's no reason for this not to be the case with the new watch.
The satellite connectivity should also be slightly better now as the watch has the ability to tap into QZSS and Beidou. This can help fill gaps when other modes are struggling.
Smart functionality
Other non fitness features that can be found on Oppo Watch include cellular connectivity for making calls when you are away from your phone. Certain variants of the watch have eSim functionality which allow owners to use the same number as the SIM card on their phone. If you don't need that, save a few bucks and go for the WiFi-only model.
Outside of that the watches offer local storage for music, an NFC chip for contactless payments, text and calendar alerts and more. The storage memory has been doubled for Oppo Watch 3 which means more space for your tunes.
Oppo Watch 3 vs 3 Pro vs Watch 2: Verdict
Oppo Watch 3 is an evolutionary upgrade on the second generation. If you're in the market for a new watch it is clearly the one to go for. If you already have one of the predecessor generations, the boost in performance might be enough to prompt you to upgrade.
This main additions come in the form of the Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 chip, double the storage memory and longer battery life. Other improvements come with upgraded sensors, better sattelite connectivity and the ECG sensor on the Watch 3 Pro model.
For now Gen 3 is only available for purchase in China. We will update this article when it is released to the global audience.
In that country Oppo Watch 3 starts at CNY 1,499 (around $220) in a choice between Platinum Black and Feather Gold. Watch 3 Pro starts at CNY 1,899 (around $280) in a choice between Platinum Black and Desert Brown. They are available to pre-order and will go on sale in China on August 19.

A Brief History of Conservative Blogs on the Internet (or why are we here?)
HotAir wasn't the first home of this community. In the beginning, post 9/11 there was Little Green Footballs (LGF), run by Charles Johnson. For most of the decade of the 2000's, having an account that allowed you to comment (open registration was very rare) was considered a privilege. Charles had, among other things, exposed Dan Rather's faked George W. Bush memos which his research revealed was created in a font used in Microsoft Word that didn't exist in the 1970's when the "memos" were allegedly authored.
Michelle Malkin founded Hotair.com in 2006 as a conservative website and forum using the wordpress commenting structure. The site quickly became one of the leaders in the conservative blogosphere, generating thousands of page views per day and being cited on Fox News and Rush Limbaugh's show. After Rick Perry's famous quote where he mentioned "hot gas," commenters affectionately referred to hotair as "hot gas." In 2009, Michelle sold the site to Salem Media Group, which also owned Townhall.com.
Rick Perry cites "Hot Gas" poll ~ QUICKclip
Rick Perry refers to Hot Air as Hot Gas…
Also in 2009, Charles came out of the closet as a far left atheist and started banning his own users left and right. HotAir had already quite a following that was soon augmented by refugees from LGF. We more or less stayed there, post Michelle Malkin's sale of the site to Salem Media more because "we are there" than any other reason.
From 2009-2016 a noticeable trend developed. The site's headlines and bloggers started to move away from conservatism and toward the political "center". A mood of tension developed between the bloggers, Ed Morrissey and Allahpundit, as the conservative commenters, who numbered in the thousands, became more disillusioned with the content of the articles being posted.
We put up with endless numbers of loser leftist co-bloggers (like Noah Rothman) as well as the site tone's continual drift towards supporting the GOP Establishment "Neo Conservatism" over Reagan-ism.
This all came to a head in 2015-6 with the rise of Donald Trump (as well as Ted Cruz) and an anti-Establishment wave within the GOP Base. The advent of Trump may have been too much for this relationship to endure, as on Monday, February 15, 2016, a day that will live in infamy, Ed Morrissey announced that in 24 hours the site's commenting structure would be switching from WordPress to Facebook. One of the reasons cited was an unwillingness by the moderators to continue to deal with continuous disputes and complaints.
Ed Morrissey:
For almost ten years, Hot Air has utilized a proprietary, members-only comment system. In 2006, this kind of system made much sense, but Internet standards and technology have moved beyond this kind of system. Beginning tomorrow, Hot Air will move from its present proprietary closed-comment system to Facebook comments. At that time, native commenting functions will cease, and all comments will come through the Facebook interface.
We have certainly enjoyed the comment section and look forward to seeing it grow and become more diverse. That is one reason why we feel it necessary to make this change. A closed, proprietary system requires far more resources to manage than we can apply to the task. As a result, we rarely have the opportunity to open the system to new commenters, which means that newer Hot Air readers have no opportunity to engage and provide their feedback to our articles. That is unfair to those new Hot Air readers, and it also deprives other readers from a broader range of views.
Also, our commenting format has been outdated for some time. The Facebook interface has comment nesting, the ability to like, and post-commenting editing capability. Rather than use resources to essentially re-invent the wheel, using what has become an Internet standard interface makes much more sense. Facebook has over a billion users and many Hot Air readers likely already have accounts, two key reasons we chose this platform for our site. Sites such as IJ Review, TechCrunch, Huffington Post, WebProNews, Inquisitr, and more have gone to Facebook comments, while almost all others have gone to some other outside platform that allows Facebook for a login, such as Disqus. Some readers may have concerns about using their real identity to comment at Hot Air, and we certainly understand that reluctance. Anonymous accounts can be created on Facebook, though, and those can be used for commenting on other websites.
This will also allow Hot Air's editors to put aside policing the comment sections. We get steady, and lately increasing, demands for interventions in quarrels between commenters that often requires much time and effort to unwind. Our terms of use will still be in force, but we expect to spend very little time moderating comments. Since comments will get linked to user's Facebook's identities, we expect that any conflict between commenters can be handled between those users. We will modify our comments disclaimer accordingly soon to emphasize that point.
While we want to open our comments sections to as many new readers (and existing readers without accounts) as possible, we also hope that our existing community of readers will continue to comment here — and engage with many more readers, too. To those commenters, we offer our gratitude for your patronage, and your patience as we revamp for a dynamic election year!
The reaction was immediate and visceral. That thread set the all time record for most posts on a HotAir comment thread, ending with 7,100 comments, 99% of which were against the move. The change was supposed to happen at midnight that night. I was permanently banned by Ed Morrissey that afternoon for "threatening" him with this tweet:
Constantine XI on Twitter
@EdMorrissey @ITTRP Better unmake it if you plan on keeping your job…
This was the last straw, as anonymity was clearly being stripped from commenters who had posted anonymously for ten years. Not only that, but Facebook is well known for having a liberal bent, and the potential for people being banned off Facebook entirely made this an untenable option for the majority of commenters.
The community which had more in common with itself than with its hosts suddenly had nowhere to go to meet, and people who had been friends for ten years and had been through the wars together were faced with not ever seeing or talking to each other again, or scattering among several other conservative blogs.
Enter ConstantineXI and this website.
Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of certain commenters, such as Constantine, Blink (who gathered dozens if not hundreds of email addresses), Fossten, Sugarbuzz, NWConservative, and Doomberg, www.Hotgas.net was born and the Hotair community was saved. The spirit of conservative blogging and commenting has been salvaged and preserved in the site that you see here.
The rest, shall we say, is history. A large chunk of the community that had made HotAir great came to this site, which had been my own personal blog, which was hastily re-themed in progress to HotGas even as the cheap hosting plan I had the blog on was groaning and cracking under the strain.
Site Milestone 12/1/2016
The time has come for Hot Gas dot Net to graduate from High School and move on to the "big leagues," as Donald Trump would say. We are now a dot com! Welcome to SpartaReport.com!
Management and ownership remains the same as it did at Hot Gas.
There will be NO Facebook commenting installed.
Our mission – to promote conservatism, Americanism, and liberty while fighting the left at every opportunity – will remain the same.
This gets us out from under the shadow of DeadAir, removing any opportunity for accusations of copycatting. We're our own independent entity, putting those old memories behind us.
Hotgas.net will redirect you to spartareport.com for the time being, to give you time to change your favorites.

Letter to The Prime Minister: Bhopal Memorial Hospital is Deteriorating
August 31, 2017 Guneet Narula Leave a comment
Honourable Prime Minister,
Government of India,
North Block, Raisina Hill,
Sub: Seeking Compassion for the Victims of the World's Worst Industrial Disaster in Bhopal for Stopping the Deterioration of the Bhopal Memorial Hospital & Research Centre.
On behalf of the survivors of the 1984 Union Carbide disaster in Bhopal, we seek an end to the apathy of your government towards the ongoing collapse of the Bhopal Memorial Hospital and Research Centre (BMHRC) in Bhopal. At the outset we wish to make it clear that we are not seeking any financial allocations because it is not the shortage of funds that is coming in the way of vital medical care of the long suffering gas victims but the shortage of compassion in your government for the half million people of Bhopal exposed to one of the most poisonous chemicals in the world.
This lack of compassion is most evident by the fact that despite the passage of seven long years, there are no rules in place for recruitment of staff and purchase of equipment and medicines for the hospital. No attempt has been made by your government to fit the hospital into existing governance structures because of which every aspect of BMHRC's management is ad-hoc and time consuming.
It is also significant that the appointment of the Secretary of the Department of Health Research, Dr Soumya Swaminathan, the official primarily responsible for the deterioration of BMHRC was reportedly made on the basis of recommendations from the PMO.
To make you aware of the pitiable condition of the hospital for whose running, well over Rs. 700 Crores are available as corpus, we wish to present a few extracts from the October 2016 report of the Supreme Court appointed Monitoring Committee, majority of whose members are government officials and that is chaired by Justice V K Aggrawal of the Madhya Pradesh High Court :
"The matter of framing rules is pending since long, but it still has not reached its culmination. The same has become the cause of unrest and dissatisfaction to Doctors working in BMHRC as all other employees as uncertainty continues to loom large on their careers and future prospects. The Monitoring Committee is of the opinion that the matter should be dealt with on emergent basis and rules etc. should be finalized without further delay."
"Whatever be the reason for delay in the matter, urgent steps in this direction are required to be taken, keeping in view the health hazard being faced by the patients in the absence of proper functioning of ventilators, as is the situation, at present."
"The Monitoring Committee had earlier also noticed that the ICU, Central Monitoring System was not functional."
"The Monitoring Committee is receiving complaints regarding delay in dialysis procedure in BMHRC. Monitoring Committee has also received complaints from the cancer patients regarding the follow up treatment after their surgery."
"The Monitoring Committee had earlier also drawn the attention of Administration of the BMHRC towards delay in giving dialysis procedure to kidney patients."
"However, Department of Medical Oncology is not available in BMHRC. In the absence of Medical Oncologist in BMHRC there is at present no arrangement for diagnosis and chemotherapy to cancer patients, who may not be required to undergo surgery."
"It cannot be over emphasized that treatment of cancer patients requires urgent attention and delay may result in serious adverse effect on their condition."
"The burning problem of the BMHRC is lack of Specialists/Super Specialist. The problem continues to plague the Institution, and appears to have seriously impacted the quality of treatment at BMHRC. It does not appear that the situation has changed despite several directions of the Monitoring Committee in the above post."
"The Monitoring Committee was also informed that Anaesthesia Work Station, Heart-Lung Machine, C-arm etc. machines are not functioning properly as these are very old. Similarly, condition of Eco-Cardiography Machine, Infusion Pump, Harmonic Scalper, and Portable X-ray Machine etc. are going from bad to worse due to non execution of AMC."
More recently the Monitoring Committee has submitted yet another report on BMHRC that describes a dire situation and is even more damning than the above.
Through this letter we urge you to issue necessary directions to ensure that the official apathy regarding Bhopal gas victims comes to an end so that BMHRC and other agencies of the Central Government supposedly to help gas victims can fulfil their stated objectives.

The Hague is the third largest city of the Netherlands, the seat of Government and home to Queen Beatrix. Its close proximity to the sea makes it a favourite destination for Dutch people and German tourists who want to spend some time in the sun. The Hague contributes substantially to International politics as the city of Peace and Justice.


A very talented local graphic designer DONATED the design of this logo to me. Isn't it awesome!?
Here they all are in all their glory! I love making things for my girls - especially when they like them!
My posting came to an abrupt halt last week because I made a very big decision - I'm running for the Montana state legislature, seeking to represent House District 78 in the House of Representatives. It's going to be a huge commitment of time and energy, but after prayerful consideration and seeking some wise council, I've decided to jump in to the race.
The sensation was like being at the top of a huge water slide, knowing the ride would be fun, but terrified to push yourself forward. Well I pushed, and the ride has been awesome so far! The nice thing about this commitment is that it has an end: June 8 is primary day, November 2 is the general election, then the legislative session runs from January - April of 2011. Yes, the hours will be long and my girls are young, but I think there could be no better example for them at this point than their mom working hard toward a lifelong dream that could concretely make their state, and their lives, better.
My sweet kitty and her love of warm, freshly folded laundry. She makes even the most annoying tasks pleasant with her presence.
the granny chic flickr group | I just love this aesthetic and apparently I'm not alone.
the raccoon commercial | This is EXACTLY how I talk to my cat. (My husband thinks I'm such a dork, but he loves her just as much as I do.) We all roared with laughter when we first saw this commercial.
...but couldn't. It should be fixed now!
This is another of my finds from my thrifting expedition yesterday: linen calendar towels! I almost freaked out right there at Good Sam's, hoping for a 1973 version ON MY BIRTHDAY! But I only found 1972, 1975, 1976 and 1981. Not bad really.
Don't they look lovely, covering my handwashables?
And hanging on my stove?
Stuff like this makes me unreasonably happy. My husband doesn't understand (even though 1972 is HIS BIRTH YEAR!), but he's glad that $2.00 can bring me so much joy.
Yup, it's my birthday today! Thirty-seven years old. The other night I couldn't sleep. I lay in bed thinking back over my many, many years. I can't remember much from when I was seven but I could remember back to seventeen and twenty-seven with relative clarity. Not bad for an old lady!
On the day I turned twenty-seven, Eric I and rode the Amtrak from Shelby to Whitefish where my mom picked us up. We then borrowed her car to drive to Missoula to pick up a 1989 Honda Accord we bought from our friends Jonna and Neil. The car still runs and is now 21 years old, legal drinking age. (It can't be good for your car to be of drinking age.) Anyway, I remember the train ride vividly and fondly. The month before I had found out I was pregnant for the first time. I was so thrilled. I remember reading the very first edition of the Martha Stewart Baby Magazine and losing myself in fantasies of holding my first baby for the first time. Again, good times! And the baby worked out much better than the bad-boy boyfriend!
Now I'm thirty-seven and life is really good. Sweet husband, healthy kids, cozy home, meaningful work, cuddly kitty, supportive family, lovely friends, time to be creative and time to take care of me.
A vintage bread box! I've been wanting a bread box for a long time and I'm so happy that I held out for just what I wanted. It's cool looking. It's huge. And it opens from the front so I can put stuff on top of it. Bonus!
So, happy thirty-seventh birthday to me! I plan to spend the evening surrounded by my sweet little family, savoring this golden, golden time.
Here are my little "Hermiones" casting "Ex-Smelly-Armpits" spells (their version of Harry's "Expelliamus") the other afternoon in the backyard. Oh, spring is starting to arrive friends! I can't wait for more and more green to continue to fill this space. We're even hoping to plant a vegetable garden this year. I know it's something that will take a lot of our time and attention, and I just hope we have enough to devote to it. Few things give me more joy than digging in the dirt and seeing tiny chartreuse shoots make their brave journey out of the earth and into the light.
Here are the girls again, running around in the warmth, just being kids and enjoying their lives.
I made these last night for Bryni, inspired as I often am by Attic 24.
I really enjoyed making this Valentine garland this year. It was inspired my several bloggers who've made it before and it provided a cheerful trimming to our mantle when the grayest of the winter was upon us.
Projects like this appeal to me on so many levels: I love repetition, I love variations on a theme, I love putting together interesting color combos. And I love that I'll now I have this garland each February when I'll need its lovely cheerfulness the most.
Okay I'm going to try this: changing to a template blog to which I can easily post, hopefully much more often! The down side? I won't have as much control over the look and feel of the site. The upside? I can do this anywhere and it's much, much easier. I've really enjoyed learning a bit of html, and have created some fun sites, but it's a lot more work to truly build and maintain a site yourself. Type, click, click, click, enter = blog entry. I like the idea of that.


There is no point in claiming to provide FREE COMPANY FORMATION service, when you can register your company at Companies House and HMRC yourself.
We are a small business and we understand what it is to start a new business. You might want to cut corners to keep your startup costs as low as possible or have limited budget and would like to use the budget wisely to develop your company. So, if you are looking to register a company and would like to keep your costs as low as possible, you can do it yourself. The UK GOV site has a step by step wizard that helps you to register your new company. So, if you want to take that route, below are the details on how to get going.
Use the link to start the process of setting up a new limited company using the GOV.UK service. Follow the wizard at the link by answering the simple questions. Based on your answers the service will inform you if you can use their online service to set up a company. In most of the cases, you should be able to use the online service to set up the company without any issues.
If you are eligible to start your company using the GOV.UK service, you will probably end up at this link, which informs you that you are all set to register a company. So the next step would be to create a government gateway login. This login is needed for you to use other online services related to your company in the future.
The process of creating a government gateway account is pretty much similar to any online registration process. Its a simple form where you enter your name, email and set up an account password. You will have to confirm your email but clicking on the link you recieve at your email after you have registered.
After you have confirmed your government gateway account, you can continue the process of your new company formation. You will be presented with a step by step wizard to enter your company details. Once you are done with all the steps you will be redirected to online payment service to pay for the service. The payment for this service at the time of this article is £12. If your payment is successful, you will recieve a payment confirmation at your registered email.
Once you complete the wizard and make the payment, you will normally have to wait few hours for the UK.GOV service to go through your details and approve your company formation. You will hear from them no later than 24 hours. If there are no issues with the company name you plan to use and the details you have entered, you are most probably approved and will be ready to setup your corporation tax account.
Do it yourself with these step by step instructions and register your company with Companies House and HMRC.


Ergot is a fungus that can contaminate rye grains. Rye grain was an essential to many diets in 17th century Village of Salem.
When consumed, ergot could potentially lead to hallucinations and convulsions — both similar to what some victims of witches allegedly went through.


Below are specific findings about news media attitudes and habits in Italy. The findings come from a Pew Research Center survey about news media and politics across eight Western European countries conducted from Oct. 30 to Dec. 20, 2017. The survey covered five countries in the north (Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom) and three in the south (France, Italy and Spain).
Only about a third of Italian adults (34%) consider the news media very important to society, and about three-in-ten (29%) say they trust the news media. This includes just 3% who trust the news media a lot.
These populist differences emerge in Italy as well: 26% of people with populist views say they trust the news media, compared with 34% of those without populist views. On the question of importance, 29% of those with populist views say the news media are very important for society in Italy, compared with 43% of those with non-populist views.
In Italy, those on the left and right differ substantially in the media source turned to most for news. Among those on the ideological right, Mediaset News is the most cited main news source, while people on the left most often name Rai News.
For many of the news outlets across the eight countries, people who use an outlet to get news tend to think the outlet is closer to their own left-right ideological position. In Italy, this is true for five outlets asked about: Rai News, La7, La Repubblica, Corriere della Sera and Il Fatto Quotidiano. For these outlets, news users on either the right or left tend to place them closer to their own ideology. For one news outlet – Mediaset News – right-aligned and left-aligned news users generally agree on its placement. Il Giornale and Libero are not included in this analysis, because they did not have a large enough sample of left or right users to analyze.
This is the case for some, but not all, outlets in Italy. Libero, for example, has an audience that sits at about the middle of the left-right spectrum (3.6 on the 0-to-6 scale), but when asked to place the news outlet on the same left-right scale, people who have heard of Libero place it farther to the right (at 4.2). But other outlets show little difference: La7 has an audience near the ideological center (3.2 on the 0-to-6 scale), and people who have heard of La7 place it near the center of the left-right spectrum as well (at 3.1).
In seven of the eight countries surveyed, the most trusted news outlet asked about is the public news organization in each country. In Italy, around two-thirds of adults (65%) say they trust the public broadcaster Rai News.
In Italy, these differences emerge for some outlets. For example, those with populist leanings are 23 percentage points less likely than those with non-populist views to say they trust La Repubblica. Trust is also divided along the left-right ideological spectrum in Italy – those who place themselves on the left of the 0-to-6 point ideological scale are 35 percentage points less likely than people on the right to trust Mediaset News.
A majority of adults in Italy (64%) get news on social media, including half who get news on social media daily. Facebook is the most common social network used for news. In Italy, young people (those 18 to 29 years old) are more likely to get news on social media daily than those 50 and older (74% vs. 41%).
Social media news consumers in Italy are similar to other Western Europeans – 51% are familiar with the news sources they find on social media, but roughly a third (32%) do not pay attention to the sources there.

Rotation matrices are used in computer graphics and in statistical analyses. A rotation matrix is especially easy to implement in a matrix language such as the SAS Interactive Matrix Language (SAS/IML). This article shows how to implement three-dimensional rotation matrices and use them to rotate a 3-D point cloud.
The matrix Rx(α) rotates points counterclockwise by the angle α about the X axis. Equivalently, the rotation occurs in the (y, z) plane.
The matrix Ry(α) rotates points counterclockwise by the angle α in the (x, z) plane.
The matrix Rz(α) rotates points counterclockwise by the angle α in the (x, y) plane.
/* Rotate a vector by a counterclockwise angle in a coordinate plane.
NOTE: Some sources define rotation matrices by leaving the object still and rotating a camera (or observer). This is mathematically equivalent to rotating the object in the opposite direction, so if you prefer a camera-based rotation matrix, use the definitions above but specify the angle -α. Note also that some authors change the sign for the Ry matrix; the sign depends whether you are rotating about the positive or negative Y axis.
If you use PROC SGSCATTER to visualize the data, the results (not shown) are not very enlightening. Because the data are aligned with the coordinate directions, the projection of the 3-D data onto the coordinate planes always projects 10 points onto the origin. The projected data does not look very three-dimensional.
All the data points are visible in this projection of the (rotated) data onto a plane. The use of the VECTOR statement to add coordinate axes is not necessary, but I think it's a nice touch.
The G3D procedure in SAS/GRAPH software creates 3-d scatter plots.
The SAS/IML Studio application, which is part of SAS/IML software, supports a point-and-click interface to create rotating scatter plots, and you can also use the RotatingPlot class to create a 3-d scatter plot programmatically.
I also want to mention that Sanjay Matange created a 3-D scatter plot macro that uses ODS graphics to visualize a 3-D point cloud. Sanjay also uses rotation matrices, but because he uses the DATA step and PROC FCMP, his implementation is longer and less intuitive than the equivalent operations in the SAS/IML matrix language. In his blog he says that his macro "is provided for illustration purposes."
In summary, the SAS/IML language makes it convenient to define and use rotation matrices. An application is rotating a 3-D cloud of points. In my next blog post I will present a more interesting visualization example.


Not planning on leaving the country this year, but still want the family to feel like they're abroad? Here are some ideas for low cost activities you could do to turn your home into a holiday destination.
Get busy with the kids in the kitchen and try cooking something from another country's cuisine. How about rustling up some paella? Or baking a Sachertorte? Or creating a tarte aux pommes? To add to the experience, download some traditional music from your destination country, and have the kids make some flags for your chosen nation. Then gather round and try out your new delicacies – maybe you'll discover a new family favourite.
If you're yearning to hear the sound of some foreign lingo, why not download a foreign language film or borrow one from the library? The French produce a great variety of animated films suitable for children, or older kids might enjoy some German comedy or Spanish drama. Don't forget, to help you, you can watch with the subtitles on.
There are lots of language learning apps available, and many of them are fun and easy to play too. Experiment with a few and find one you all love so you can compete against each other to improve your language skills.
Do some research online to find out what grows well in your country of choice. Then head off to the supermarket to buy and try Dutch asparagus, German plums, and French artichokes. Alternatively find out about and try a range of national foods like French madeleine cakes, German salami and Italian olives.
Many companies look for host families for foreign teens in Britain. Often, they will pay a small daily allowance or expenses for your hospitality. This is a great way of engaging in a cultural exchange – whilst you show someone around your home country, you get to practice a foreign language, find out about their customs and culture and maybe even make a new friend.
Whatever you're planning on doing this year, at home or abroad, LSS wishes you a fab summer holiday.
