The new DC Universe is a month old now, and in an extra-sized episode Blake, Erin, and Mark sit down to talk about how that first month shaped up. Mark gives us the retailer's perspective on how sales have changed not just for the New 52, but for other titles as well, and the gang discusses the hits and misses of the last two weeks of titles. In the picks, Erin is just getting into the Dresden Files, Mark is a fan of Annihilators: Earthfall and Herc, and Blake cheers the premieres of Ghostbusters and Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz.

With tax season upon us, we're all going to look for less expensive entertainment. In the interests of helping us all with that dilemma, I've taken it upon myself to sift through Amazon for a few graphic novels that — at least as I write this — can be had for under ten bucks a pop.
Smart comic fans, I think, should fall somewhere in-between these two extremes. Nobody should ever read any comic they don't like (save your money and buy something good), but it's even more important not to close yourself off to a great story just because of the genre it is written in.
Just as comic book fans have divided themselves into these camps, however, superhero comics to a very large degree have divided themselves as well, and although there are some exceptions, almost all mainstream superhero titles these days play more to one side of the spectrum or the other — they deconstruct the heroes, or they glorify them.
"Deconstruction," of course, is nothing new — one could argue that it goes back as far as Green Arrow's discovery of his sidekick Speedy's heroin addiction. There are lots of kinds of deconstructive stories — those that show the heroes has having all-too-human flaws or feet of clay, or those that simply show them failing, or achieving victory but at too high a price. The darker threats, the mass murders, the terrorist actions. These are the "deconstructive" comics.
Pretty much every title under the Marvel Knights banner fits this description — Daredevil is a great example. He was, in his early days, a brighter character, akin to Spider-Man, but as time went on he got darker and darker. Now his comic is the epitome of gritty, showing hard crime and real consequences. Matt Murdock's world is not a nice place to live. Brian Michael Bendis, of course, is one of the tops in this realm of comics — along with guys like Grant Morrison and Bruce Jones, and perennial favorites like Frank Miller and Neal Adams. These are often the only comics the "too cool for school" crowd will touch, mainly because it's so "grim" and "edgy" and helps to shatter the ideals of the spandex-clad warriors they sneer at the rest of the time.
Then we have the flip side of superhero comics — those that take the traditions and standards of the genre and raise them up, glorify them, and make them seem fresh and new again. Take a look at Mark Waid's Fantastic Four for a primary example of this. While the "Unthinkable" and "Authoritative Action" storylines he told last year did get pretty dark, he stayed with what made the characters the heroes they were rather than pull them down, and he closed off that chapter of their lives in the "Afterlife" story by bringing back the Thing (killed in "Authoritative Action,") with a little help from a certain Man Upstairs who looked an awful lot like Jack Kirby. Some readers balked at the unabashed sentimentality. I thought it was brilliant.
Geoff Johns has also proven himself quite adept at the glorification of superheroes, and he does it in a way that Waid often does too — he mines their pasts, digging into classic stories from the golden, silver and bronze ages, and uses them to craft something totally new. A lot of his Teen Titans series up to this point has been about bringing together threads left by the classic Marv Wolfman/George Perez incarnation of the property, but updating it to fit in the new members of the team. In Flash, he keeps taking old villains and remaking them into more serious threats (as he did with the likes of Mirror Master and Captain Cold) or introducing new threats that tie into the past of the character (like Murmur and the new Zoom).
Johns may just save his best storyweaving skills for JSA, however, and it's no wonder. This is the first superhero team in the history of comic books, and several of the oldest characters in industry are still members. What's more, they have progeny and proteges that are carring on in their names. Johns has brought together the legacies of the Star-Spangled Kid and Starman stogether in Stargirl, restored Hawkman to a characterization that actually makes sense and even made a character with the goofy Golden Age moniker Mr. Teriffic a deep, interesting character.
But man, the stuff he's done with Hourman is even better. The original Hourman, Rex Tyler, died fighting Extant during DC's Zero Hour miniseries. There are two other Hourmen walking around, though, Rex's son Rick, and an android from the future with time-travel powers. In JSA we learn that the android plucked Rex from the timestream just before his death and gave him one hour to spend with his son, who could break up that hour into increments anytime he needed to talk to his father. When Rick was almost killed fighting Black Adam, though, he and Rex switched places, with Rex back in the "regular" timestream and Rick trapped in time. Johns wrapped up that storyline in last week's JSA #66 with an ending that showed off everything that made these characters heroes.
If we're talking about glorifying superheroes, though, one need look no further than Astro City. Kurt Busiek, Brent Anderson and Alex Ross have created a real lush, wonderful world that pays a brilliant tribute to everything that superhero comics have to offer, and they look at it from every angle. If you haven't read this comic, you haven't read superheroes right.
Here's the thing — while excellent stories have been told in both the deconstruction and glorification subgenres of superheroes, not all characters are suited for both. Superman and Captain America, for instance, never really work in deconstructed stories. When you start making Superman grim or edgy, you lose what it is that makes him Superman.
This was the big problem I had with Mark Millar's Ultimates series, and the reason I'm not getting Ultimates 2. Millar recreated regular Marvel characters and made it a point that they were not the same as the ones we were used to. However, the new characters he whipped up seemed to me to be nothing more than the original character's worst traits magnified to the extreme. Giant-Man was nothing more than a wife-beater. Iron Man was nothing more than a drunken philanderer. Captain America was nothing more than an arrogant nationalist.
On the other hand, characters like the Punisher just don't hold up if you try to glorify them. Even when you go lighthearted, as Garth Ennis did in the Marvel Knights incarnation of the character, it has to be dark humor, with an undertone of madness that belies the character's situation in life.
Then there are those rare characters that work if you're deconstructing or glorifying superheroes. I think the X-Men are probably the best example of this. During New X-Men, writer Grant Morrison dissected these characters, brought their faults to the forefront and made them face down threats — both from without and within — that tore the team apart. Much of his story was a satire of some of the more ridiculous aspects of the characters (Magneto's tendency to get resurrected no matter what the circumstances of his death were, for instance, or the egocentric notion that the "X" in Weapon X was a letter and not a Roman numeral). He took the X-Men apart and pieced them into something new, then he put the chairs on the tables, wiped down the counter and left.
Then he leaves and what happens? Joss Whedon comes in with Astonishing X-Men and, using many of the same characters, puts them back into costumes and sends 'em out to be superheroes. And it works, just as well. Meanwhile, Nunzio DeFillips and Christina Weir remake their New Mutants series into New X-Men: Academy X, a book about — what else? — teen superheroes. These are kids learning to one day become X-Men, and as such, the book has several elements that both glorify superheroes (the code names, the "squads") and break them down (how Wither accidentally killed his father with his powers, for instance).
There are many, many different things that can be done with superhero comics, and a great many of them are being done right now, done very well. There's an old saying in some parts of the country that if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes and it will change. With comic books, if you don't like one, just take a step or two further down the rack. Even if you're looking at a rack of superheroes, you won't have far to go to find something totally different.
Welcome back, Bill Willingham, you have been too long absent from this list, but last week's Fables #30 bolted you right back to the front of the pack. I've been a fan of this title since the first issue, friends, and issue #30 is possibly the best yet. This is the answer to "decompressed" storytelling here, everything happens at once. The Fables are reconstructing their home after a battle, the election for the mayor of Fabletown is going off, Snow White is in labor (and Bigby Wolf is the father) — there are three major storylines in this issue, a half-dozen (if not more) minor storylines, and there's still room in there for a few surprises. If you haven't tried out Fables, this may just be a great place to start.

Avengers Academy #1: Marvel relaunched their Avengers franchise with a new first issue… heh, just kidding. That's FOUR new first issues. Actually, six if you want to include miniseries. But I digress. I decided to sample each of the new ongoings to see which, if any, I would want to continue reading. Not surprisingly, the one I enjoyed the most was the one written by my favorite writer in the group: Avengers Academy by Christos Gage. With the Initiative camp shut down, a group of Avengers is given the job of training superpowered teens that were recruited under Norman Osborne's regime. In the first issue we're introduced to our core group of six young would-be heroes and the team of Avengers responsible for their training. There's a lot to like about this issue — the inclusion of Speedball among the trainers not the least of those things. I absolutely despised it when he became "Penance" after Civil War, and bringing him back into the fold this way is keeping true to who the character really is without just ignoring that part of his continuity. The six new characters are well-shaped, well-developed, and each with their own distinct personality. Gage also finishes off the book with a pretty stunning revelation about our young cast. It's a nice surprise, one that reminds me of the classic reveal at the end of Thunderbolts #1. (It's not the same reveal, that wasn't a spoiler, it just gave me the same sort of jolt.) This title has a wealth of potential, and I can't wait to see what Gage does with it.
Batman Beyond #1: Ever since the Batman Beyond TV show went off the air, fans of the character have been waiting to see him get some love in the DC Universe. A couple of years ago, we did get a glimpse of one of DC's 52 Earths where he seemed to exist. Finally, after a tease in Superman/Batman Annual #4, Terry McGinnis is back in his own miniseries. If you didn't watch the show back in the day, the premise is simple. We're in the Gotham City of the future, a "Neo-Gotham," where Bruce Wayne has gotten too old to continue the fight as Batman. Terry is the heir to the throne, a young man Bruce is training as he once trained his Robins, only this young man has taken on the mantle of the bat. In this first issue, someone has murdered one of Bruce's old enemies, and as Terry races to save another, it turns out the perpetrator may be someone no one would ever have suspected. The last-page cliffhanger here is fantastic. Adam Beechen has plucked Batman's most potentially dangerous adversary (even more than the Joker) and put him front and center here. It's also nice to see a nod to the TV show, with Micron of the new Justice League again trying to get Terry to join up. I hope to see more of those characters as the series continues. Ryan Benjamin's style is interesting. It's not a dark, gritty sci-fi comic, but it doesn't have the animated feel that the original series did either. It exists somewhere in an in-between place that helps to ease the story into the DC Universe. Great first issue. I can't wait for the rest of this arc.
Sea Bear and Grizzly Shark #1: Sometimes it's worth it to just do something silly. Artists Ryan Ottley and Jason Howard, best known for their collaborations with writer Robert Kirkman on Invincible and The Astounding Wolf-Man (respectively), were at a convention last year, throwing around some crazy ideas. One of those ideas, the idea of a bear and a shark getting "mixed up," somehow stuck and turned into this one-shot. In Howard's Sea Bear story, we watch as a young man undergoes terrible personal sacrifice to destroy the ferocious sea beast that killed his family. Grizzly Shark, on the other hand, follow a group of hunters that delve deep into the forest to try to hunt down the ferocious killer. Both stories are bizarre, crazy, and bloody as hell. They're also a lot of fun. The stories themselves are somewhat ridiculous, and the one-page origin tale written by Kirkman to explain just how "they got mixed up" is even sillier. But it's an awful lot of fun. The giant-sized book gives you two complete, full-length comic book stories for your money, and you'd be hard-pressed to find two crazier, more enjoyable stories on the shelves of recent comic books.
Wall-E #7: This issue wraps up the "Out There" story arc, in which an astronaut named Andy (a nice little nod to Toy Story, I imagine) has returned to Earth to find it empty of human life, including his wife and children. With Wall-E's help, Andy has been trying to repair his spacecraft, and he just may be on the verge of doing it. This was kind of a low-key ending to this arc… kind of quiet, even a little anticlimactic, but it actually sort of fits in with Wall-E and the desolate world he inhabited before the events of the movie. It's a bittersweet story, and a highly appropriate one for this title. Bryce Carlson and Morgan Luthi have done a good job with this arc. Carlson's story is sad, but hopeful, while Luthi's artwork is a little grimy and dirty, which is absolutely perfect for a story set on the BNL-ruined world that we met in the motion picture. Whether or not the next arc (or any future arcs) will be set after the movie, I don't know, but I hope they get to that part of the timeline sooner or later. I think there's a lot of potential there for different kinds of stories than we've gotten in this comic so far.
Wonder Woman #600: The 600th issue of Wonder Woman's title (if you add up the three volumes) arrives with a bang. Outgoing writer Gail Simone and legendary Wonder Woman artist George Perez start off with a tale about an invasion force that only has the power to control men. Diana's solution? Round up a team of DC's greatest female fighters to take them out. This story really does the job of showing the position that Diana holds in the DC Universe — who she is and what she means to the other female heroes. There's also a much more personal half to the story, where we catch up on a forgotten member of Wonder Woman's supporting cast, someone who first showed up in George Perez's legendary run on the title. In the second story, Amanda Conner writes and draws a team-up between Diana and Power Girl (with a little Batgirl thrown in). It's a nice "girl's night" story that's very cute, but actually seems to fit in more as a chapter of the Power Girl title Conner recently left than a Wonder Woman story. Louise Simonson and Eduardo Pansica give us a Wonder Woman/Superman team-up, which isn't bad, but is fairly generic.
The last two parts of the issue get more into the real meat. Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins (doing some work that's very different than his usual style, but in a good way) provide a story that delves a bit into who Wonder Woman is and how people don't realize her importance. This serves as a sort of prologue to the last part of the story, the beginning of writer J. Michael Straczynski and artist Don Kramer's Odyssey storyline, in which Wonder Woman finds herself in an alternate reality where Paradise Island is in ruins and she never became the warrior we know her to be. This is also the story that introduces Wonder Woman's much-publicized new Costume. I actually rather like the new look (although, like many others have said, I don't care for the leather jacket), but I also recognize that it's most likely a temporary change. Even if it doesn't go back when Wonder Woman inevitably succeeds in restoring the original timeline, she'll go back to the classic costume sooner or later. It's an interesting starting point for a story, and I sincerely hope it does the job it promises to do — show people why Wonder Woman is so important, not just to the DC Universe, but to the culture of comic books in general. She's been severely undervalued as a character for years. I don't know if Straczynski is the man to change that, but I'm willing to give him a chance.
In addition to the stories, the book has an introduction by TV's Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter, a cover by Perez, and an avalanche of pin-up pages by the likes of Adam Hughes, Nicola Scott, Ivan Reis, Greg Horn, Francis Manpul and many more. Some of these are just okay, but many of them are great. It's a solid issue, and a fitting anniversary for comics' first female.
Everything But Imaginary #355: Who's Your Hero?
Inspired by a work from the great Mark Evanier, this week I'm taking a look at some of the most iconic renditions of our most iconic superheroes. When I say "Superman," which image comes to mind? Batman? Spider-Man? This week I look at ten heroes and the artists that define them to me.
There are a lot of comics I've read once, then brushed aside. But how often does the first issue reflect the author's best work? And how often is it worthwhile to come back and take a second look? Plus, this column's Favorite of the Week: Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds #3!
So, if you haven't figured it out by now, Geoff Johns is pretty much a bottomless pit of awesome. Let's run through some of the comics he's done: JSA/Justice Society of America. The Flash: Iron Heights and about forty incredible issues of that title. Action Comics (the Last Son, Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes and most recent Brainiac story arcs). Teen Titans. Infinite Crisis. And, of course, the new gold standard for how to do great comics, Green Lantern: The Sinestro Corps War. And just a couple of weeks ago, he hit us with the first of two tie-in books to DC's current big event with Final Crisis: Rogue's Revenge.
But by damn, this is the book I've been waiting for.
Johns and the legendary artist George Perez have begun their tale with Mordru, the time-trapper, a longtime foe of the Legion. Mordru, the architect of the Legion's troubles for years, decides the time has come to destroy the Legion and Superman's legacy once and for all, so he summons Superboy-Prime from the timestream. The boy who wants to be Superman in the worst way (and I do mean the worst) goes on a tear, breaking open the seams of the prison planet Takron-Galtos. Prime has rounded up every enemy the Legion has ever faced, just as they face the greatest personal tragedy of their storied career.
Of course, it's Brainiac 5 who realizes the only possible course of action. They need help. They need Superman. and since the threat they face comes from another universe, it's time for them to fight fire with fire… they need the Legions of two other universes to join the fight.
It is not an exaggeration to say the first issue of this five-issue storyline gave me chills. Johns has displayed a love and respect for not just the original Legion, but for all three, that I've never seen before. I'm not surprised, though — this is the man who found a way to make Hal Jordan Green Lantern again without tarnishing Kyle Rayner, and who is about to be handed the reigns of both Barry Allen and Wally West in the Flash: Rebirth miniseries. Johns respects not only the originators of a superhero legacy, but all of the heroes who have carried the torch. Although the other two Legions only appear briefly, on Brainy's computers, between those two pages and the rest of the book, George Perez may be a good 75 percent finished with his goal of drawing every Legionnaire of all time in this comic.
Johns has created a story that's not only epic in scope, but also intensely personal for all the heroes involved. They've lost someone close to them, and Superman feels a responsibility for what Superboy-Prime has become. Meanwhile, people who have been anticipating this story for a while know that — although it doesn't make an appearance in this issue — Brainy has a lightning rod with a face in it waiting somewhere… waiting to help a seemingly lost hero make his triumphant return.
Then there's George Perez. Ever since the original Crisis on Infinite Earths, people have known that if you wanna have a buttload of characters in a comic book, Perez is the man to draw it. Not only does he fill this book with Legionnaires, the little details he drops in everywhere are amazing. In an early scene where Prime wanders (and trashes) the Superman Museum of the 31st Century, Perez packs in so many tidbits and Easter Eggs that I could write a whole article just pointing each one out and where it came from. Even the labels — written in the Legion's language of "Interlac" — are worth looking at. In a scene with statues of Superman over the years, the plaques underneath each one, in Interlac, reads with the name of the classic Superman artist that drew that particular interpretation (Shuster, Boring, Swan, Garcia-Lopez, and Perez himself). And no, I don't have the free time to sit around translating Interlac — I just have the overwhelming need to absorb each and every nugget of goodness this comic has to offer.
Simply put, this is a fan-freaking-tastic opening for this series. Just as Sinestro Corps ran away from the pack and became my favorite comic book story of last year, I've got a feeling that this book — coupled with the Superman and the Legion arc from Action Comics — will soon take that trophy for 2008. It just doesn't get better than this.

Q: Saving user's social auth name using python social auth in django I work on django project that migrate from django social auth to python social auth.
Previously new social auth user first name/last name will be saved automatically for first time login.

Now after using python social auth, it's not.
Seems I have to use this setting:
SOCIAL_AUTH_USER_MODEL
but

SOCIAL_AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'django.contrib.auth.models.User'

generate error when invoking runserver:

django.core.management.base.CommandError: One or more models did not validate:
default.usersocialauth: 'user' has a relation with model web.models.User, which has either not been installed or is abstract.

Wanted to try subclassing User model in the project

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class User(User):

but that is not feasible right now.
Also saving manually the name from response data in custom pipeline is prohibited as well.
Really want to know if there any other solution?
Thanks.

A: remove SOCIAL_AUTH_USER_MODEL because you are using Django Default User model.

Q: How do I use setPage() in an non-EAV model in Magento for pagination/limiting? I need to get $collection->setPage(0, 10); to work on my non-EAV model and it doesn't work. I've tried and $matches->getSelect()->setPage(0, 10); and it doesn't help.

A: The setPage() method only works for EAV based collection in Magento because it is defined in Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Collection_Abstract class...
public function setPage($pageNum, $pageSize)
{
    $this->setCurPage($pageNum)
        ->setPageSize($pageSize);
    return $this;
}

As you can see, its a nice shorthand utility that is available to EAV based collections.  For your non EAV based collection you can create your own version of this in your collection class or use the more verbose syntax for setting the page number and size in your client code when initialising the collection:
$collection->setCurPage($pageNum)
           ->setPageSize($pageSize)
;

A: public function updateIndex()
{
    $productsCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()
        ->addAttributeToSelect(array('name', 'image', 'url_key', 'price', 'visibility'));

    $productsCollection->setPageSize(100);

    $pages = $productsCollection->getLastPageNumber();
    $currentPage = 1;

    do {
        $productsCollection->setCurPage($currentPage);
        $productsCollection->load();

        foreach ($productsCollection as $_product) {

            $insertData = array(
                'entity_id' => $_product->getId(),
                'title' => $_product->getName(),
                'image' => $_product->getImage(),
                'url' => $_product->getUrlKey(),
                'price' => $_product->getFinalPrice(),
            );

            $this->_getWriteAdapter()->insertOnDuplicate(
                $this->getTable('atwix_sonar/suggestions'),
                $insertData,
                array('title', 'image', 'url', 'price')
            );
        }

        $currentPage++;
        //clear collection and free memory
        $productsCollection->clear();
    } while ($currentPage <= $pages);
}

See this complete example, it illustrates exactly how to use magento collection pager functions.

Q: Passing parameters in Jenkins while using promotions? I would like to be able to pass parameters from one job to another.
The problem is I am currently using promotions in Jenkins in order to create a manual approval phase between my build and deployment. I am doing this by having my build in one job and post-build in another. I have used the promoted builds plugin for this.
I understand the one way to pass parameters is using the Parameterized Trigger Plugin but the problem is I am not able to use it along with promotions.
I have referred to this answer but unable to get the output- How to promote a specific build number from another job in Jenkins?

A: I would recommend you to use pipeline with the step input to validate approval.
https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/pipeline-input-step/
If you need to factorize/reuse jobs, create a shared library or sh scripts that you version. It is hell to maintain and analyse jobs that call other jobs. Jenkins library are easy to create, basically new steps are in folder ./vars/ there are plenty of examples on github. For instance https://github.com/SAP/jenkins-pipelayer/

Have you ever taken the time to consider what it means to be fit? Everyone has a rough notion about what fitness means to them, completing a marathon, having rock hard abs, bench pressing double bodyweight, among a million other things. If we look back to the old days, science tells us that fitness is fundamentally survivability. You would not expect this, but fitness is a poorly defined word across all occupations and professions who offer to improve it. If we contemplate the physical abilities that help us function and overcome the plethora of physical stresses and life tasks with which we have traditionally and presently come across, we can categorise them into three basic physical skills: strength, endurance, and mobility. Strength is the ability to move the body under load and is conveyed as an ability to produce muscular force across a range of movement speeds. Endurance is the ability to sustain a charge over time. Specifically, it is a representation of movement, physical activity, exercise, and sport, and is mainly a bio-energetic trait, connected to the ability to deliver oxygen and energetic nutrients to the working muscles at acceptable rates and for long enough periods to complete the task at hand. Mobility, is the ability to move the body and its integral parts in an assortment of directions and perform both simple and complex motor tasks. Mobility is definitely an important, yet under-attended, component of fitness. It is probably the most intricate element of fitness as it is composed of range of motion, nimbleness, poise, and coordination. Having acceptable levels of these to provide for fruitful involvement in occupational effort, recreational hobbies, and familial requirements is a useful definition for fitness.
That said, what is a viable way to go about keeping fit over winter? Ideally, to avoid the cold, you would have access to an indoor gym or fitness centre with access to heat to some degree or another.

Pet Estate Planning: What Happens to Fluffy When I Die?
Believe it or not, I don't get asked about pet estate planning very often. But you know what, it's a damn good question to ask.
Ok, so first and foremost, pets are considered property in most (if not all) states in the union. That means that when you die, they get handled in roughly the same manner as your sofa. They aren't treated like children, there is no guardian, and goddammit the court does not care about what happens to ol' Fuzzybutt when you pass away.
I posted a new video on the Chad Talks Law YouTube channel. It's a walkthrough of bankruptcy forms for a chapter 7 bankruptcy. Take a look!
I am theoretically on vacation right now in Lake Ozark, Missouri. But here I am, writing a blog post, because I have this idea of something to write about. And that, dear friends, is what it is like to be a solo lawyer on vacation.
It's 6:29am on a Thursday morning and I'm finally getting around to doing a proper treatment of this case. The facts are pretty straightforward, but it's the holding (which irritatingly makes sense) that is the real kick in the marbles for consumer rights lawyers and advocates. So here we go.
So... fair warning guys, there is very little point to this post other than that I feel like writing it. I spent a whirlwind long weekend traveling to my old stomping grounds (Buffalo, NY) with the family for a dear friend's wedding.
The first option is both the easiest and the most difficult. If you have the money to simple pay the judgment, you can stop the garnishment almost immediately by paying the full balance owed. In reality, 99% of people who have judgments against them are not in a position to pay the judgment immediately. If you can't pay the judgment immediately (and let's be honest—most people can't pay a large judgment with spare cash), there may be other options.

A Family Member Just Died—What Do I Do?
Dealing with the death of a family member is hard. Not only do you have to deal with grieving, heartbreak, and loss; you also have to deal with funeral arrangements and wrangling financial affairs. This will serve as a bit of a guide to help you get started.
Estate Planning in Illinois? Why Bother?
A lot of people ask why they should bother with an estate plan when they aren't rich and don't have to worry about estate taxes. It's a good question, and there are a few answers that depend on what you want to accomplish.
The City of Buffalo and other local cities and towns have the ability to take your property if you are delinquent on taxes, user fees, sewer fees, or water bills. They do this through an expedited foreclosure process known as an "in rem" proceeding. The City of Buffalo will file one massive lawsuit and put the owners of each property on notice.

Part of Romania during the interwar period, Moldova was incorporated into the Soviet Union at the close of World War II.

One of the poorest nations in Europe, Moldova became the first former Soviet state to elect a Communist, Vladimir VORONIN, as its president in 2001. VORONIN served as Moldova's president until he resigned in September 2009, following the opposition's gain of a narrow majority in July parliamentary elections and the Communist Party's (PCRM) subsequent inability to attract the three-fifths of parliamentary votes required to elect a president. Moldova's four opposition parties formed a new coalition, the Alliance for European Integration (AIE), which acted as Moldova's governing coalition until December 2010. Moldova experienced significant political uncertainty in 2009 and 2010, holding three general elections (in April 2009, July 2009, and November 2010) and four presidential ballots in parliament, all of which failed to secure a president. Following the November 2010 parliamentary elections, a reconstituted AIE-coalition of three parties formed a government, but remains two votes short of the three-fifths majority required to elect a president.

Economy - Overview:
Moldova remains one of the poorest countries in Europe despite recent progress from its small economic base. It enjoys a favorable climate and good farmland but has no major mineral deposits. As a result, the economy depends heavily on agriculture, featuring fruits, vegetables, wine, and tobacco. Moldova must import almost all of its energy supplies. Moldova's dependence on Russian energy was underscored at the end of 2005, when a Russian-owned electrical station in Moldova's separatist Transnistria region cut off power to Moldova and Russia's Gazprom cut off natural gas in disputes over pricing. In January 2009, gas supplies were cut during a dispute between Russia and Ukraine. Russia's decision to ban Moldovan wine and agricultural products, coupled with its decision to double the price Moldova paid for Russian natural gas, have hurt growth. The onset of the global financial crisis and poor economic conditions in Moldova's main foreign markets caused GDP to fall 6% in 2009. Unemployment almost doubled and inflation disappeared - at -0.1%, a record low. Moldova's IMF agreement expired in May 2009. In fall 2009, the IMF allocated $186 million to Moldova to cover its immediate budgetary needs, and the government signed a new agreement with the IMF in January 2010 for a program worth $574 million. In 2010, an upturn in the world economy boosted GDP growth to 6.5% and inflation to 7.3%. Economic reforms have been slow because of corruption and strong political forces backing government controls. Nevertheless, the government's primary goal of EU integration has resulted in some market-oriented progress. The granting of EU trade preferences and increased exports to Russia will encourage higher growth rates, but the agreements are unlikely to serve as a panacea, given the extent to which export success depends on higher quality standards and other factors. The economy has made a modest recovery, but remains vulnerable to political uncertainty, weak administrative capacity, vested bureaucratic interests, higher fuel prices, poor agricultural weather, and the skepticism of foreign investors as well as the presence of an illegal separatist regime in Moldova's Transnistria region.

#1 Karl-Anthony Towns — 6'11" 250 lbs | 19-yrs-old | Forward | Freshman | Kentucky
Bio: Towns was a known commodity coming out of high school, having been named the Gatorade National Player of the Year and a McDonald's All-American. Still, it seemed in November that Duke freshman Jahlil Okafor would remain atop his class (where he'd been since eighth grade) and be selected first in the NBA draft. Okafor may still go No. 1, but Towns is regarded as the superior prospect in most draft rankings. Upside is key with Towns, as his spot-shooting and three-point stroke weren't on display at Kentucky but could emerge in the right NBA system. His defensive effort and ability—instilled in him by his father, a former player at Monmouth University—have made him the most complete big man in this year's draft.
Karl-Anthony Towns [Upside: LaMarcus Aldridge -vs- Downside: Eddy Curry]
Strengths: Towns has ideal size, strength and athleticism to be a star NBA center. He plays with passion on both ends and moves up and down the court well for a player his size. He has the natural feel of an elite shot-blocker and is an above-average rebounder. His offensive game is still developing, but his footwork in the low post is advanced for his age and his free-throw shooting (81.3%) helps support the idea that he may be the second-best shooting big man (behind Frank Kaminsky) in this year's draft. He plays with his head up and excels at passing out of double teams. He has tremendous potential for growth offensively in the NBA, and the work ethic to become the most valuable long-term pick in this draft.
Weaknesses: Fouling and physicality were his biggest problems in his one season at Kentucky. He was called for 5.6 fouls per 40 minutes, which negates some of the praise for his ability to block shots. Like many big men, he struggles when stuck near the perimeter, particularly on pick-and-rolls. He flashed an increased assertiveness during the NCAA tournament, but he will be asked to do more right away as a rookie. Is he ready to take on the added responsibility? Physically, another 10-15 pounds on his frame would help prevent him from being pushed around by NBA bigs.

How knowing the season reduces stress and creates success.
There are mini seasons of success lasting one day or several. Often, it is a period of a few days where your pendulum has swung in a noticeably different direction. Like a true Spring day when the grass is beginning to green and flowers reach toward the sun, in your metaphorical Spring, you wake up vibrating with the energy of production and creation; the thoughts in your head are coming so fast you can't keep up to capture them effectively. You know today is going to be full of accomplishment. Your work will advance. Your "to do" list will be obliterated. What you have been stressing about creating will powerfully pour out.
Then there is Winter. The days you wake up sleepy and slow as if a heavy snow has fallen on you while you slept. Your normal rituals seem cumbersome, work is effortful and distractions are unusually, well, distracting. Your motivation, like Elvis, has left the building. You feel the stress of what you aren't accomplishing and, the longer winter drones on, be it an entire day or three, the more anxious you become. You don't have time for this, you tell yourself.
Summer and Fall are moderately productive, not as good as the Spring when you seem to move at warp speed and produce your best work, but the days are quite full of powerful, if more normal, levels of achievement.
My instinct during Winter days is to panic that the words aren't coming, at least not in any way that advances my mission of helping others or my desire to produce inspiring work. During Summer and Fall days, an increase in the rituals or a return to them, is sufficient to increase the energy of the day. Rituals are what you do daily to get into your uplifted, energized view of the world. Some examples of rituals are taking a walk, meditating, exercising, praying, saying affirmations, reviewing your vision board, listening to or reading something motivational, observing nature, and doing yoga. Rituals can be anything that puts you in the zone for maximum, effortless achievement. During Spring, you don't need the rituals on which you habitually rely for your optimal, creative mindset. It seems that breathing is enough to put you in the flow. In Winter, the rituals have little or no effect. When your "go to" for mojo doesn't work, your stress level rises.
So how do I get more Spring? The question is often asked by creatives and every entrepreneur, myself included.
My best advice, having struggled with this myself quite often, is to go with what shows up. Normally, each mini season lasts only a day or a few days. Neither peak state nor sleepy state can endure for weeks at a time but rather they ebb and flow more like the tides. As surely as Spring has arrived before, it will show up again. Rest during Winter. Do more relaxing things. Restore your energy and health. Enjoy the day, knowing that Summer and Fall exist and Spring will return soon. And when it does, you will leap out of bed and bound with the current, happily creating with ease while time will seem to stand still and watch.
There are many practical aspects to entrepreneurship and any creative endeavor but intuition can guide you to your most productive, vital self. You can fight and use all your energy trying to create Spring on a Winter day or you can tune in and flow with what shows up, knowing that whatever season it is each day is just right for the most balanced, vibrant version of you. And tomorrow is another day and quite possibly a new season.

Teenagers can do amazing things when they set their minds on fulfilling a mission.
As proof, we point to Germantown High School senior Pauline Mireles, who, working as a player-coach, literally held the school's mock trial team together for three years.
She managed that while engaged in a host of extra-curricular activities, and while being such a high academic achiever that she is asking college admissions officers whether their schools allow triple majors.
There are other teens accomplishing tremendous things, some while dealing with serious life obstacles. Still, Mireles' accomplishment is a nice reminder that our future is in good hands as her generation comes of age.
Mireles' efforts to hold her school's mock trial team together was detailed in story Sunday by The Commercial Appeal's education writer Jennifer Pignolet.
After her team was eliminated from last month's Shelby County mock trial competition, the Germantown High students approached Brian Bourne, a Millington lawyer and the event's volunteer judge, to thank him.
Then Mireles popped this question: Any chance Bourne would coach them next year?
An astonished Bourne asked about their current coach. They did not have one, and they have not had one in three years, Mireles said.
Mireles served as a player-coach for her team of about 12 students, building off her experience from her freshman year — the last year a lawyer advised the team full time.
"It put an entire new perspective on their performance," Bourne told Pignolet, noting the team did well but were outperformed. "If I had not sat there as a judge, I would not have believed that a high school senior — I don't care if she had been participating three or four years — could have coached fellow high schoolers to be that good."
While seeking a lawyer-coach and preparing for college this fall, Mireles also is focused on spending the first few weeks of August helping the next team succeed.
Mireles positioned junior Telesa Ward to take over for her next year. Ward will have some heavy recruiting to do in the fall because more than half the team graduates this spring.
Holding the team together and a preparing for the stiff competition represents quite an accomplishment by the Germantown High team.
The mock trial season begins in early fall. Team members are tasked with learning legal terminology, courtroom etiquette and rules of evidence.
In November, the Tennessee Bar Association distributes the case files for that year's competition. Students have until the tournament in mid-February to examine affidavits, along with witness and evidence lists to make their case. Team members perform as both lawyers and witnesses for the competition held in courtrooms Downtown.
They must learn all this while keeping up with their studies and participating in other extracurricular school activities. Then, there is time spent just being teenagers.
Bourne sadly declined Mireles' request, explaining his job will not allow him to dedicate the hours needed to help. It's an intense program, one that makes finding a coach hard.
Maybe Pignolet's story will help the team's search for a coach.
Mireles' accomplishment in holding the team together for three years, and the team members' dedication and support, are an impressive feat.
We hope they are back in next year's competition — with a coach.
