How to Pick the Right Love to Dream for you!
The chart below is designed to help new parents figure out what stage of Love to Dream Sleepwear they should dress their baby in. With three different stages it can be a difficult field to navigate but the chart below breaks down what you should look for when it comes to your baby's sleep from when they show signs of rolling to when they are transitioning to / enter independent sleep.
What are the different types of Love to Dream Sleepwear?

Know how the minutemen and the nativists are always kvetching that illegal immigrants are all criminals, even though the most they're guilty of is a federal misdemeanor, if that?
Well, methinks these pseudo pay-triots kvetch too much about others, particularly in the wake of the arrest of Minuteman American Defense founder Shawna Forde and two of her compadres for allegedly offing a nine year-old girl and her poppa.
Currently, there are allegations of con-artistry, against Carmen Mercer, President and CEO of Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, who took over from Chris Simcox, aka "the Little Prince" earlier this year when he decided to run as a really, really dark horse candidate against U.S. Senator John McCain in the 2010 Republican primary.
Simcox's tenure as MCDC honcho was plagued by claims -- mainly from his fellow minutemen -- of financial shenanigans. Now, Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard is alleging that minutewoman Mercer is part of a property tax scam, which the AG says was bilking victims out of $189 a pop for a property-tax reduction that the scammers could not make good on.
Goddard's office says both it and county assessors across Arizona have received hundreds of complaints on the alleged con. As a result, Goddard's filed suit against the parties he says are involved, which include Mercer, the "owner of the Post Office box included in the solicitation," according to a Friday press release from the AG's office.
The AG's statement quotes Pete Zegarac, the head inspector from the Phoenix Division of the Postal Inspection Service as asserting that, "This scheme was especially insidious because the deadline to appeal to have your property taxes reduced for 2009 has passed. There was no way the company could fulfill their claims..."
Ironically, the MCDC Web site currently has some article screaming about "fraud and abuse" on the part of "unlawful immigrants." There's nothing on the Web site about Mercer's current problem with Johnny Law.
According to the AG's officer, Mercer has cooperated with the investigation by turning over 1,000 responses she's gotten for the scam in the P.O. Box associated with it.
"Mercer...claimed she was asked to open the Post Office box by a friend," states the AG's release, "and that she did not know its intended purpose."
Even if that's the case, the affair couldn't come at a worse time for the MCDC. Just days ago, the Southern Poverty Law Center reported on the resignation of MCDC Vice President Al Garza.
In an e-mail announcing his resignation, Garza stated that the vigilante group's image is basically in the gutter because of the organization's ongoing travails.
"Unfortunately, the public perception of the Minutemen has been tainted by our detractors and the media, which has successfully been enflamed by the internal and unnecessary strife," stated Garza. "I do not see an end in sight for the problems plaguing what was once the greatest citizen movement in America."
Pardon me while I get all verklempt. "Greatest citizen movement"? Greatest cluster of rednecks and nativists since the KKK is more like it.

On June 6th, 1978 nearly two-thirds of California’s voters passed Propsition 13, reducing property taxes by about 57%.
Proposition 218 came to the rescue of Proposition 13. Proposition 13 was a law designed chiefly to protect property taxpayers.
Proposition 7 in 1982 was intended to prohibit government from profiting from inflation at the expense of the taxpayer.
Proposition 8 was approved by voters in November 1978, five months after they overwhelmingly passed Proposition 13.
Proposition 62 closed some loopholes put in Proposition 13 by the California Supreme Court in the case of San Francisco v. Farrell.
Props. 58 & 193
Propositions 58 and 193 allow the transfer of certain property between parents and children or between grandparents and grandchildren without reassessment.
Props. 60 & 90
Propositions 60 and 90 allow seniors to transfer the base year value of their home when they sell it and buy another.
Know the Opposition
Opposition to Proposition 13 and to taxpayers’ interests in general comes primarily from three sources.

Today Los Angeles sludgecore merchants, COLOMBIAN NECKTIE, are pleased to reveal “Kevin’s Song” to the masses via Skulls ‘N’ Bones. The emotionally-driven hymn comes by way of the band’s new full-length, Twilight Upon Us, self-released earlier this month.
Crowned “scary sick” by Decibel Magazine, Twilight Upon Us was produced by Erol “Rollie” Ulug (Graf Orlock) at Bright Lights Studios and has been flooring fans and critics alike with its meticulous hardcore/sludge fusion. AngryMetalGuy commends COLOMBIAN NECKTIE‘s, “heavy, muddy, and chunky riffs,” and “no-bullshit song-writing approach,” furthering that, “COLOMBIAN NECKTIE are great for getting right to the point and not teasing you or leading you on. Song writing is definitely the band’s main focus on Twilight Upon Us, and that’s where they shine.” In a 4/5 rating, Stereokiller calls the record, “violent and impressive…,” Wonderbox Metal dubs it, “highly recommended listen for all connoisseurs of heaviness,” while Echoes And Dust adds, “if you’re looking for some intense music that brings together some of your old favorites – Dystopia, Mohinder,Pg. 99 or even Cave In, check out Twilight Upon Us.”
As devouring as the record is however, much of Twilight Upon Us is rooted in tragedy as evidenced in ten-minute opus “Kevin’s Song,” written in honor of their late former bandmate. “As soon as I heard [guitarists] Ben [Daniels] and Juan [Hernandez-Cruz] playing the riffs for what would become ‘Kevin’s Song,’ I knew we had something,” relays vocalist Scott Werren. “Lyric-wise, all I could think of at first is the feeling of pain and loss but also this vision of Kevin just moving past a physical form and exploring the galaxy. So I made it like silver surfer riding through the universe giving us a report back on his findings.”
Hear “Kevin’s Song,” now playing at Skulls ‘N’ Bones, at THIS LOCATION.
Named in honor of a song by iconic noise rockers Big Black but more commonly known as a method of murder where the victim’s throat is slashed and the tongue is pulled through the open wound, COLOMBIAN NECKTIE has earned a reputation for their punishing riffs and maniacal DIY work ethic. Though clearly rooted in hardcore, tracks like the syncopated, sludgy death march of “Play The Game” and midtempo thrash of “Drought,” complete with squealing synths, add a welcome dose of variance to an album that’s uncompromising in its aggression.
Twilight Upon Us is out now independently. Order your copy today HERE.

This company charges your account without authorization. --- Beware --- while I was speaking with their billing and customer service department about charges that I did not authorize --- the company sent another charge through. I spoke with my bank and was told that the company had multiple attempts trying to charge my account.
In May 2012, upon ordering the 9.95 Speak Spanish in just 10 days program, I contacted the company via their 800 number and told them I could not afford to get multiple shipments. I was not in a position to authorize any repetitive billing program. I was assured that this would not happen. However, on August 8, 2012 I received a very nice box with more language CDs from the company. I contacted the company via e-mail and informed them that I did not authorize the shipment or sign up for their program. I further explained that I was not in any financial position to accept the program.
September 18, 2012 after I received a deposit into my account of $184.00, the company charged my account 64.00. I contacted the company using the 866-774-4754 number and spent over 45 minuntes on the phone being transferred from one person to another. I explained that I could not afford the charge and to please refund the charge back to my account. The customer service billing department informed me that they would have to open an investigation and that this investigation would take 15-30 days to complete. I told Benny, the customer service representative, that I could not afford the charge and would need to contact my bank. I had contacted the company in May via phone and in August via e-mail. She was not very polite and indicated that I authorized something I am absolutely certain I would not have knowingly done.
I contacted my bank and explained the situation. When the bank representative looked up the charges she told me the company had just charged another $64.00 at 2:20 p.m. -- while I was on the phone with the company, the company's billing department was authorizing another charge. So a charge on September 19, 2012 for $64.00 and another charge on today, September 21, 2012. Further, my bank told me that this company had made several attempts to charge my account over the last few months, however, fortunately (or unfortunately), I did not have any money in the account.
Here is the Debit listing.
DEBIT / STR*LEARN SPANSH L 866-7744754 PA auth# 980865 09-18-12 $ -64.00
So, without my authorization, the company enrolled me into their program and then attempted to charge my account several times. I paid $9.95 and within less than 3 days another $128.00 has been charged to my account. I read the other complaints about Pimsleur and STR*Learn Spanish billing company. I think it will be best to close my account and reopen another account so that I am not subject to this -- obvious -- on going fight.

Suburbanites Drive Colleagues to Work on Long-Haul Buses
Published 4:00 am, Monday, September 1, 1997
1997-09-01 04:00:00 PDT LIVERMORE -- At 4:21 a.m., hours before the sun and most Bay Area residents are ready to rise, Dan Dague climbs into the driver's seat of a 40-foot Wheels bus, cranks the engine and cruises out of the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority yard.
He makes two stops -- one in Livermore, one in Pleasanton -- picks up 20 to 30 passengers, then steers the bus onto Interstate 680 and up the Sunol Grade. As Dague motors through light traffic, most of the passengers snooze in the reclining seats, resting their heads on pillows they've brought from home.
Gridlock frets? We've got the news and the current conditions.

After an hour on the road, Dague pulls the bus into the transit hub at the sprawling Lockheed Martin Corp. plant in Sunnyvale. He makes a loop around the plant, drops off passengers and parks next to an office building. In 10 minutes, it's time to start his real job -- as a software developer for Lockheed Martin.
The use of commuter drivers is just one of the unique aspects of Prime Time, an employer- based subscription commuter service run by Wheels, the bus system officially known as the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority.
The other is SMART, the San Joaquin Regional Transit District, which runs 19 subscription commuter buses from San Joaquin County cities to seven Bay Area locations and Sacramento.
Unlike traditional service, subscription buses usually have a single destination and charge monthly fares that riders pay regardless of how often they ride. And the buses don't necessarily follow fixed routes. Drivers take detours around congestion to save time.
Commuter-drivers like Dague, after passing the same 40-hour training course required of other Wheels drivers, receive an hourly wage and get to ride free.
Both the Wheels and SMART services head to specific businesses, office parks or downtown business districts with a lot of employees from their areas.
Wheels started Prime Time after a conversation with Lockheed Martin officials, who told them more than 300 of the firm's employees live in Livermore and Pleasanton and commute to the Sunnyvale plant.
SMART, a countywide district with more than 10,000 commuters who work in the Bay Area, started its service in 1985 with a single bus to Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. It caught on quickly. More buses to the lab were added, and later a bus to Pleasanton's Hacienda Business Park was added.
Now SMART also runs subscription service to Lockheed Martin, Northrup-Grumman, Bishop Ranch business park, Napa, the Dublin-Pleasanton BART station and downtown Sacramento.
"When we first got the proposal (for a Lockheed Martin bus), we thought it was ridiculous. Nobody's going to ride a bus from Stockton to Sunnyvale every day," said Alane Masui, SMART spokeswoman. "Now we have a waiting list."
Riders guarantee themselves seats on the bus by paying monthly fees. Wheels charges $85 from Pleasanton and $95 from Livermore. SMART subscriptions range from $95 to $120. If a bus has empty seats, nonsubscribers can ride for a daily charge of $7 on Wheels and $9 on SMART.
For Wheels, the service costs little or nothing to offer. The agency bought the buses -- used, for $36,000 each from Golden Gate Transit -- and gave them a fancy paint job. Fares cover the cost of operating the service. And since the buses stay at Lockheed during the day, driver salaries and bus mileage are minimal.
"The beauty of this service is that it's flexible -- we can make it go anywhere people want to go -- and it pays for itself," said Austin O'Dell, Wheels planning manager and a former SMART planner.
For their money, commuters cruise in comfort aboard buses with reclining seats, overhead luggage racks and reading lamps.
Passengers say the service makes for a much less stressful day.
"Here on the bus I can make good use of the time by sleeping," said Dick Ward, a Lockheed missiles engineer who's taken the Prime Time bus for three months. "It leaves more time to spend (awake) with my wife and family. And it gives you a nice, easy start to the day."
Even the drivers say it's a better way to get to work.
"It provides me with a little less wear and tear on my car and a few extra dollars in my pocket," said Dague. "And it's no worse than sitting in a car."
ALL IN A DAY'S WORK
After a day at work, Dague gets back behind the wheel of the bus and reverses his morning route, returning to the Wheels yard about 4:15 p.m.
A 16-year employee of Lockheed, Dague has been driving a bus loaded with co-workers since Wheels began the service in May. He's one of three Prime Time drivers.
"I don't look at it as a job," said Dague, who used to commute from Livermore by himself or in a carpool. "For me, basically, it's a means of transportation, a way to get to work. I just have a lot of extra seats and passengers behind me."
Kurt Hornbacher of Livermore, a backup driver who takes the Prime Time wheel twice a week and rides the rest, does classified government work at Lockheed. At first, driving a full-size bus was tougher than he figured.
"It scared me to death for the first couple of weeks," he said. "But you get used to it. It's no big deal now."
During May and June, Prime Time buses were about 90 percent full. With summer vacations, ridership has dipped somewhat. But Wheels officials expect it to rise again in the fall.
Wheels General Manager Vic Sood is so pleased with the response to Prime Time, he hopes to add eight more commuter buses destined for other Silicon Valley employers. Subscription service, he says, is part of the prescription for gridlock.
"In a region where housing is far away from the workplace, and especially in suburbia," he said, "more transit agencies need to look at this kind of service."

Hm, what's the problem? Statelessness is what you always have to deal

AKRON (Aug. 11, 2010) — Goodyear has priced its offering of $900 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25 percent senior notes due Aug. 15, 2020.
The notes, which will be senior unsecured obligations of the company, will be sold at 99.163 percent of the principal amount. Goodyear said it expects the offering to close Aug. 13, subject to customary closing conditions.
The offering was increased from the $750 million offering that was previously announced. Goodyear said it intends to use net proceeds from the offering—along with its current cash, cash equivalents and unused availability under its credit facilities—to redeem $325 million in principal amount of 8.625 percent senior notes due 2011 and about $388 million in principal amount of 7.857 percent notes also due next year.
Goodyear plans to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, the Akron-based tire maker said, including the repayment of other outstanding debts.
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Barclays Capital Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. served as joint book-running managers for the offering, Goodyear said. A shelf registration statement was filed Aug. 10 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and became effective upon filing.

The shanties in the foreground came up to house the migrant labourours who built the hospital, and are now working on an equally swanky apartment complex coming up right behind it.
Every aspect of their lives is conducted in full glare of the public - they cook in public, eat in public, wash their clothes in public, even bathe in public.
And yet, they are almost invisible to the million or so people who use the road everyday.
The city would not exist without the migrant labourours who live just above starvation levels and take on the jobs that the residents of the city would not perform. And yet we refuse to acknowledge our debt to them, and close them out from our schools, hospitals and other public services.
And yet, they haven't forgotten how to smile.


City officials are asking the owner of a local sign company to halt an unauthorized effort to rally more than 100 volunteers to help San Antonio police with riots.
James Alfaro, owner of Alamo Sign Solutions, was issued a cease and desist order by the city Monday alleging that a poster he created makes unlawful and misleading claims of recruitment for police.
The poster touts a civilian patrol while recruiting people with a concealed carry permit, military background, or who are “just a Texas Patriot,” willing to “protect our city and show support for our police department.”
SAPD Chief William McManus and City Manager Erik Walsh said Alfaro’s actions are unnecessary and unauthorized.
“This poster has no affiliation whatsoever with the City of San Antonio nor the men and women who wear the San Antonio police uniform. We once again ask that he remove any reference to SAPD from his materials,” McManus said.
The letter informs Alfaro that continued claims purporting to be assisting SAPD may result in the city seeking legal action against him.
“During a time when our residents are speaking up for changes in policing, flyers like these only seek to stoke controversy,” said Walsh. “We do not endorse these actions and I hope this individual will finally cease these harmful actions.”
Efforts to reach Alfaro for comment Monday night were unsuccesful.
There have been two known riots that followed peaceful protests downtown in response to George Floyd’s death.
One occurred on May 30, in which multiple properties were looted or damaged, including a downtown Whataburger, and at least two officers were injured.
The second occurred on June 2, when protesters met with police near the Alamo at East Crockett Street and Alamo Plaza.
At least 18 people were arrested in connection with the riots on charges including aggravated assault on a police officer, engaging in a riot, evading arrest and criminal trespassing.
Since the second riot, daily protests for police reform and for black equality have been largely peaceful.

One potential veteran cut that the New York Jets fanbase has supported wholeheartedly is wide receiver Corey Davis.
General manager Joe Douglas can save $10.5 million out of an $11.166M cap hit by parting ways with the 2021 signing according to Over the Cap, and they can also make this move prior to June 1 — which is always key in shaping the offseason. Really, it’s a no brainer to most, although some have argued that Davis’ salary is affordable enough to retain considering how expensive the wide receiver market is projected to be in 2023.
Of course, there is a cheaper option already on the roster. SNY’s Connor Hughes spoke this theory into existence during a fan-led mailbag article on February 8.
“The Jets have two receivers they’re ready to see take off — Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore,” Hughes began when asked about the WR plan if Davis is cut. “It seems unlikely they make a major splash at the position considering that, along with the fact they’re pressed up against the cap… I could see the Jets targeting a wideout in the third or fourth round — a bigger-bodied guy to complement Wilson and Moore. More likely: This is the year you see the team truly give Denzel Mims a chance to be the guy.”
Jets WR Denzel Mims Replacing Corey Davis Makes Perfect Sense in 2023
Mims is entering the final season of his rookie contract in 2023 and like the other members of his 2020 draft class, he doesn’t have much to show for his tenure in the league. At the same time, he’s been Davis’ direct understudy for two years now and he’s already proven himself as a run blocker — the veteran’s primary role on the outside.
Now the question is: Can he match Davis’ production at a fraction of the cost ($1.728 million cap hit in 2023)?
Davis started just nine games in 2021, appearing in 13 (starting 10) the following season. He did not surpass 550 receiving yards in either of those two campaigns — and severely underperformed considering his price tag — but did accumulate six touchdowns and 51 first downs as more of a clutch target than a consistent one.
Over the same period of time, Mims was not a focal point of the offense whatsoever but did register 988 offensive snaps compared to Davis’ 1,067 snaps. He did far worse, with less than 200 receiving yards in both seasons, zero touchdowns, and just 12 first downs. Having said that, the former second-round pick did total 357 receiving yards and 15 first downs in nine appearances under Adam Gase in 2020.
For whatever reason, ex-OC Mike LaFleur and Mims did not mesh well together — similar to a lot of the younger prospects when it came to the recent offensive coordinator. Hughes addressed this in his mailbag response.
“Internally the Jets believe [new OC] Nathaniel Hackett will connect with Mims better than Mike LaFleur did, bringing out more in him,” Hughes relayed to fans. After all, Hackett has been lauded for his ability to relate to players throughout his career.
Playing for a new contract in 2023, it could finally be time to take the training wheels off when it comes to Mims. He has talent, and perhaps with a more experienced quarterback and more personable OC, that talent can finally be realized in this NYJ offense.
Jets Game Plan May See Offensive 180 in 2023
Going into the 2022 campaign, it was all about supplying Zach Wilson with the offensive playmakers and pieces to succeed. That may not be the case in 2023 if the Jets land a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers.
That’s not to say Rodgers (or another veteran) won’t have help — Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall, Moore, Michael Carter, Tyler Conklin, C.J. Uzomah, and Zonovan Knight among others aren’t going anywhere. But the priority now shifts to allowing the QB to lift the offense, not the other way around.
That’s why you can get away with a slight drop-off from Davis to Mims if it means shedding $10.5 million in cap space. Contrary to what some might try and tell you, the quarterback has always been the most important position on the field, and adding an above average QB along with an experienced play-caller changes everything for the better.
If the Jets can land the right signal-caller, the rest will fall into place. If not, you might see Douglas take another shot at that 2022 model of success.

Yesterday, the kids’ weekly playdates meet is very geeky.
Because, we asked a friend to come and teach them about 3D printing.
This is Jay’s belated birthday present. Only arrived yesterday.
I like it.
This is the mini version of the Fabrikator 3D printer.
This amazing printer cost about USD$180. Very cheap but according to the 3D printing master, it is one of the more reliable machine.
My wife says, for beginners, learn using a cheap printer first. When either me or Jay gets more experience and geeky, then, we can upgrade to a bigger one.
This keychain is printed from this printer.
Why I feel so amazing about this key chain. Take a look at the video below. There are holes and hinges in this key chain. And at first thought, I was thinking, it is hard work to print so many small pieces and then fix them together….
But that is when Dani (the 3D printing instructor) corrected me. The 3D printer are able to print out AS IT IS. Means, it prints the hole, it prints the hinges, it prints everything in one go.
Dani also run some workshops at the Library @ Orchard. He and his friends, a group of 3D enthusiasts has build a 3D printer and place it there too.
It is amazing. The kids love it.
By the way, Dani is also a magician. He not only shows how we can download already designed 3D models and then print it out using the printer (which is very easy), he also
He designed and printed this Raspberry Pi casing. Very elegant and nice.
The kids are learning lots of things. But I think they just want to see how it works.
Ok, let’s load up the filament and start printing.
Now, is this plastics?
Yes and No. It is a bio-degradable plastics that is made out of either corn starch or sugar cane. hahahahaha… that means, if you bury this in the soil, it will be bio-degraded.
Yeap! Amazing, right?
Yeah! The new 3D printer is working.
The first project is to print a dice.
Take a good look. We can configure the 3D printer so that it does not need to fill up the dice. Means, there will be hollows (space) in the dice, so that you do not need to use so much plastics to print.
The dice is coming to shape.
Yeap! It is a dice all right.
The kids are amazed with this technology.
You know they have this in space craft? When the parts need repair, they will use the 3D printer to print those parts.
It is a quick demo, so to save time or printing for the demo sessions, we use an average quality printing. If you use higher grade printing, then, you will need more time.
The dice actually works.
Since it is Halloween. Let’s print a purple pumpkin.
It turns out to be a great pumpkin.
You can removed the hat too.
Then, my geeky son immediately go construct a LED with a small battery.
Quite cool right.
And I placed it on top of my iMac. hahahaha

Today we hosted an open day of experimentation, research and development at The Factory in Filwood Green Business Park. A number of curious experts of Play came along to the session, where we mixed up circuit-bending, street games, craft and digital fabrication.
The day began with a discussion of the aims and the ideas behind the Forgotten Toys Compendium before launching into a character creation exercise. Dolls and action figures were taken apart, jumbled up and glued back together again; kinetic functions were investigated and repurposed; elaborate stories were created around the construction of these new characters. After lunch, we then embarked on the construction of a water feature using old plastic toys, wheels from toy cars and water balloons.
Next up, Open Doors Day and Knowle West Festival!

One of the tests of how well a story is told, particularly one told over multiple, decade-long instalments, is how easily you can leap into a later episode and still not only know what’s going on but what the characters mean to each other and how this world, so well known to long-time readers but all-new to you, functions.
In all those respects, and then some, Alien Resident, newly birthed as a TV series on syfy, succeeds brilliantly, telling a rich standalone story in “Your Ride’s Here” that weaves in backstory and long-established character lore so seamlessly that you barely notice the exposition nipping at your narrative heels.
It helps, of course, that there is a pithy series-setting intro at the start of each issue, which proves particularly helpful when you see the protagonist, an alien stranded on Earth known to his people as Hah-Re but known to the people of Patience, Washington as Doctor Harry Vanderspiegle, seemingly appearing in all his purple extraterrestrial glory to everyone around him.
Is this a stumbling block to the reader, such as this reviewer, who has dropped into the series unaware that “Your Ride’s Here” is in fact the sixth instalment in the series by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse (writing and art respectively)?
Not in the slightest.
While it is entirely possible that Harry is such good friends with everyone around him, and he does appear to be well-loved and a stand-up decent guy, the kind of doctor you want in your small friendly U.S. Northwest town, that they long ago got over the fact that he’s bald and pointy eared, it becomes quickly clear that Harry appears human to them but helpfully alien to us.
It’s not simply the easy flow of the first few scenes that establishes this; it emerges that Harry has just returned from a trip to New York City (volume 5 – An Alien in New York) and while we know that the Big Apple is famously accepting, like most cities of strangers and weirdos in its midst, it’s highly unlikely someone as distinctively different as Harry could travel there and back and do business in the metropolis without someone picking up on his alien visage.
It’s immensely clever storytelling to have Harry stand out to us as obviously alien while being clearly human to his friends, a well-judged strategy that continues on through the book that combines the warmhearted small town inclusivity of Murder, She Wrote with the sleuthing fun of The Hardy Boys (though a more adult, more PG version, thank you) and some darker X-Files-type themes that suggest a being in turmoil.
Harry, who is one of the nicest people you will ever meet from any planet, wants to go home and is waiting, like E.T., for a ride back home, but he also loves being on Earth, and he is inordinately fond of the people he has come to know as almost-family, especially Asta Twelvetrees and her father Dan who known who he really is (there should always be someone in on the secret) who help solve small crimes in the town, two of which weave themselves in and around some big choices for Harry.
It’s this mix of existential fish out of water and yet not angst, mystery solving and rich, interpersonal relationships that makes Resident Alien such pleasurable, compelling reading.
In fact, so likably nice is Harry and in fact Resident Alien, and yet so strong and muscular in its storytelling, that it well and truly puts paid to the idea having a nice guy in a lovely town doing good things makes for a boring narrative.
The opposite is actually true.
Because Harry is so nice, and the town is so lovely, you want to stay there and be with them – and, incidentally, order all the back issues by any and all means necessary and watch the TV series ASAP if not sooner – and bear witness to whatever comes along in their world.
Maybe there is an air of ’70s/’80s it’ll-be-all-right-in-the-end drama but in a modern plague-stained age where everything feels endlessly undone, it feels reassuring to have a setting where you know good things will happen even if bad things keep throwing themselves into the mix, things so scarily bad at times that you wonder if the characters will come out the other side okay.
You suspect they will because it’s that kind of story but again this is not even remotely a weakness.
Rather it adds a strength to Resident Alien which gets to go to some dark and intense places precisely because it is springing all its narratives, at least the one in “Your Ride’s Here”, off a solid and comfortingly human place.
And yes, the “human” part applies very much to Harry, possibly even more so because in the time he has spent on our planet following his shipwrecking, he has become the very best of us – a nurturing caring man of integrity who wants the very best of everything for everyone and who is quickly realising that we are a people who may have issues aplenty but who also have a lot worth recommending.
It’s not clear in this instalment if Harry is the lead for any kind of invasion force – it seems not given what happens in the final issue of this instalment but you never know given some of his comments at one point – but it’s clear he has well and truly joined Team Human, a decision which makes its presence sacrificially present in the final act where some big and important things go down and the placing of Harry’s loyalties is no longer an academic exercise.
Hogan and Parkhouse have created something very special in Resident Alien.
While Harry is likably, caringly intense as a protagonist, he is surrounded by the warmth and whimsy of a phalanx of funny, whimsical, quirky small town coworkers and friends, all of whom come together to create a world you want to be in and stay in for as long as possible.
Which is handy for the two creators because it means you’ll stick around for some clever sleuthing, possible romance, a slew of big moments and the heart-affirming rhythm of life in a town which is literally millions of light years away from where Harry once was but precisely where he wants to be right now, and where, because the world is created just so and the stories told just right, you very much want to be too.
One thought on “Graphic novel review: Alien Resident by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse”
We got hung up of the annoying (to us) kid taking a major role in the TV show, such that we stopped after ep 4 or 5. Might have to search for the graphic novels for some more perspective. Thanks!

Oxford Real Farm Conference
As growers and activists, one of our highlights of the year always comes early. The first week of January is the Oxford Real Farm Conference. This is a gathering of the agroecological farming movement in the UK where farmers, growers, activists, scientists and all those interested in fixing our broken food system get together to learn form each other, to discuss, collaborate and bring about change.
With close to 5,000 attendees the ORFC has grown immensely in the last few years as increasing numbers of people are becoming determined to get together and make change happen, it is where the food revolution is brewing!
Its’ growing popularity is catching the attention of more and more organisations working within a wide range of sectors which are increasingly getting worried about how the food system is damaging our health, communities, economies and environment and so they are taking part wanting to be part of the solution. While ORFC attracts and welcomes anyone interested in bringing about meaningful change for a fairer and healthier food system; its core and the majority of people attending are grassroots actors of the agroecological farming and food sovereignty movement.
This year again the topics of food poverty, local economies, community resilience and social justice were at the centre stage of the debates; and so was the worry of further damage to health, environment and communities from a system that puts profit before people and is inherently undemocratic and non-transparent. But the ORFC brings together a huge diverse and inspiring range of projects, initiatives and solutions to get the transformation going, from the ground up. It’s 3 days of a huge feast of ideas, enthusiasm and determination, I always leave fully charged for the year!
We need to change the food system. It is causing too many problems without anyone being accountable and it’s on autopilot with a course of destruction. We need to move to a food system that has the overall health and wealth of all as its core. At ORFC, I heard from so many of those building this alternative food system based on justice, joy and solidarity that I can’t but remain positive and get back to work on our little corner of Devon. At Hilltown Organics and with Harvest Workers Co-op we’ll keep feeding the fire, we need to increase the opportunities and support for a different way to farm, to trade, to generate health and well-being, to regenerate our land, our soils and our souls. Join us in 2022 in creating a better food system for all!

The disease mainly attects wheat, but occasionally barley and rye.
S. nodorum can be seed borne and infect seedlings, resulting in water-soaked, dark green areas on the coleoptile, later becoming necrotic. Twisted, distorted and stunted seedlings may also occur. On mature leaf tissue the first symptoms of infection are small necrotic lesions. Later these develop into brown oval lesions surrounded by a chlorotic halo. These lesions frequently coalesce to produce large areas of dead, dry and sometimes split tissue.

US government to give DNA tests at border to check for fraud
By COLLEEN LONG
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will begin DNA testing in cases where officials suspect adults are fraudulently claiming to be the parents of children as they cross the U.S.-Mexico border together.
Department of Homeland Security officials said Wednesday the testing will be limited and voluntary. A pilot program will begin soon, but the locations along the border weren't released.
The testing will happen after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials refer possible instances of fraud to ICE.
It will take about two hours for a result, and the test will be done with a cheek swab. Officials say the results will be destroyed and won't be used as evidence in any criminal case that may arise.
ICE officials say they have identified 29 families suspected of fraud since April 18.

A private tour of Sri Lanka with a focus on national parks, wildlife and nature-based experiences for travellers with a keen interest in wildlife.
Wildlife enthusiasts wanting to discover the best of Sri Lanka's wildlife and national parks, with unique nature-based experiences.
Welcome to Colombo. You will be met upon arrival and transferred to your accommodation set in an Estate. It is a journey of about an hour from the airport.
This morning you will head to Wilpattu from Horathapola, a journey of 3 hours and 30 minutes. Embark on a jeep safari into Wilpattu National Park in the afternoon. Wilpattu National Park is the largest and the oldest national park in Sri Lanka, popular due to the high prevalence of Sri Lankan leopards. It is regarded as one of the best places to spot a leopard in its natural habitat. The park is also home to a diverse range of other wildlife, including the highly threatened Sri Lankan sloth bear, Sri Lankan elephant, spotted deer, water buffalo, sambar and mongoose.
This morning head into Wilpattu National Park for an early morning jeep safari. Mornings are the best time to visit the parks, as animals are often more active at this time. Have a leisurely lunch and enjoy an evening walk to a nearby local lake, frequented by playful elephants looking for a drink or swim! Your journey starts from camp around 4:30pm and winds through a little village and Chena (Slash and Burn) cultivation. At the lake, enjoy quietly spying on elephants and forest birds while all the world is submerged in a vivid sunset. Experience the park up close during your stay, with your accommodation set within the buffer zone of the national park. Stay in a luxury tented accommodation complete with private facilities including a seven course candle lit dinner under the stars.
Head to Habarana this morning, a journey of 3 hours. On route visit the ancient city of Anuradhapura. Anuradhapura is known as `The City of Kings.' This ancient political and religious city is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Continuously inhabited for over two millennia, Anuradhapura was the seat of power in Sri Lanka until constant invasions forced a move to Polonnaruwa further south.
Rise early to climb Pidurangala Rock before the heat of the day. A massive rock formation, Pidurangala, is said to have been the royal temple at the time when King Kashyapa was at the helm of the Sigiriya fortress. Be prepared to climb – the hike up the rock takes about one hour depending on your fitness level.

text: Hey folks, Just got my sausage stuffer in the mail today and am stoked to try it out. This will be my first attempt at sausage, so let me know if I'm missing something on smoking sausage. I will be using my smokehouse and smoking with hickory and using store bought cure/seasoning kit (collagen casing). My understanding on generally how to make snack sticks is this... Mix meat, cure, and seasoning Let mixed meat sit in the fridge at least four hours or overnight Remove from fridge Begin stuffing meat into casings Poke holes in air bubbles Smoke at low temp (130) for an hour Bump temp up in smoker every hour until IT is 160 Remove sausage and spray with cold water or soak in cold water for 30 minutes Hang to dry (bloom) for a couple hours Does that sound pretty close? Did I mess anything up or leave something out?

SALEM, Ore. — Wildfires that are blackening the American West in one of the nation’s worst fire seasons have ignited calls, including from Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, to thin forests that have become so choked with trees that they are at “powder keg levels.”
The destruction has exposed old frictions between environmentalists and those who want to see logging accelerated, and it’s triggered a push to reassess how lands should be managed to prevent severe wildfires.
Zinke’s directive Tuesday for department managers and superintendents to aggressively prevent wildfires was welcomed by Ed Waldron, fire management officer at Crater Lake National Park in Oregon.
Waldron was exhausted after fighting two fires that have been burning since late July in or near the park, whose centerpiece is a lake that fills the remains of an erupted volcano and is the deepest in the United States. But he wondered where the additional resources
