Once upon a time, there were five high school students who would meet at 4:20 pm (two of the five friends had football practice) in front of the statue of Louis Pasteur in their San Rafael High School’s campus.
Legend says that they became known as the “WALDOS” because of the original meeting place was outside the school’s wall. Others say the group named themselves the Waldos because it was a term coined by comedian Buddy Hackett to describe odd people.
One day in 1971, a non-Waldo classmate came to the wall with a story and a map. The map was about the location of a marijuana garden in the forest of Point Reyes National Seashore. The pot belonged to the classmate’s brother-in-law, a Coast Guard reservist stationed at Point Reyes, who would give ownership of the pot patch to the Waldos if they could find it.
So, the “Cinco Amigos” met in front of the statue of Louis Pasteur at 4:20 pm to discuss how to proceed in the discovery.
They drove the 45 minutes to the coast, in a 1966 Chevy Impala, listening to a Grateful Dead 8-track tape and passed around joints.
Unfortunately, they did not find the patch that day, but it created a special bond and memories. Afterward, the friends would pass each other in the halls and whisper “420 Louis” to each other whenever a meeting was needed.
So “420Louis” became the code for getting high at the statue after school. It later evolved into just “420” and meant “let’s get high anywhere.”
One of the five student’s older brother was a friend of Phil Lesh, a Grateful Dead band member. This connection gave them access to backstage passes and smoking sessions with band members who picked up the code.
In the late 1980s, flyers were circulated at Grateful Dead concerts proclaiming 420 as the password of the stoner culture.
The flyers erroneously explained that 420 was the police code for marijuana smoking in progress.
Due to different and erroneous versions circulating at that time, the five friends decided to keep the records of the origin of the term in a rented safe deposit box in a San Francisco bank. The address of the bank just happened to be 420 Montgomery Street.
There are other theories about the origin of 420:
1. There are 420 chemical components in marijuana.
2. Grateful Dead always stayed in room 420 during tours.
The code often appears in popular culture and mainstream settings. One of the most notable examples is that all of the clocks in Pulp Fiction are set to 4:20. Another example is the California medical marijuana bill is named SB420.
As for the WALDOS, they remain in California and they are still friends. Two of them work in the financial world and lost a lot of money to Bernie Madoff. The other three are also successful, as head of marketing for a Napa Valley winery, another in printing and graphics and the third one works for a roofing and gutter company
Went in today for my first visit ever to a dispensary and was completely lost at what I needed or wanted. They were amazing at explaining everything to me and getting me started on some products! Will definitely be back!
I love this place! Everyone is always so nice and very helpful! I just love the loyalty points app!
They’re always having sales! Great options for medicine! Another thing I’d like to touch on is how these people treat you. They’re kind, sweet, and wholesome. I appreciate that more than I can express in words.

Executives from 20 Michigan businesses and Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley are in the midst of a trade mission to Mexico. The group left Sunday and will take part in an automotive conference and talk with company executives who have business operations in Michigan. Don Lowe is the Senior VP of Sales for Peterson Spring. He told Michigan News Network there are many opportunities to explore.
“There’s a good bit of automotive business in this area of Mexico, there’s an inordinate amount of automotive business to be had, and we’re blessed with some good meetings with automotive customers,” Lowe said.
The trade mission ends Wednesday. The trip has been organized partly by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, which is the state’s marketing arm and lead advocate for business development. This trip marks the third time officials with the group have traveled to Mexico with Michigan firms to participate in a business forum.

Tony Scott is so intent on gussying up his frazzled frame that his pictorial compositions are barely projected on screen before being multiplied, splintered, or dispatched in a frenzied haze of computer-enabled editing and camera gimmicks. Scott’s increasingly showy cinematographic sensibilities tend toward the ephemeral and shallow, making it nearly impossible to find meaning amid his films’ chaos. And unlike Revenge—his similar but more successfully austere 1990 tale of one man’s gun-toting pursuit of retribution—Scott’s harried mise-en-scène can’t elevate his latest payback saga, Man on Fire. Written by crime-noir disciple Brian Helgeland, this grim revenge potboiler (based on a novel by A.J. Quinnell that was originally adapted for the screen in a weirdo 1987 version starring Scott Glenn) is like much of the screenwriter’s output—it offers lots of sadistic thrills (in one scene, ravers ecstatically cheer when gunshots are fired in a dance club) but also a disingenuous redemptive streak that undercuts any hint of pleasurable misanthropy.
Denzel Washington is John Creasy, a former military man and struggling drunk who, through his retired hitman friend Ray (a jovial Christopher Walken), gets a job in Mexico protecting the daughter of a financially strapped businessman (Marc Anthony). The blond-haired, blue-eyed little girl, Pita, is played by Dakota Fanning, which—for anyone who’s seen the young actress in I Am Sam, The Cat in the Hat, or Uptown Girls knows—automatically means that every scene she shares with Washington is dominated by her unbearably precious precociousness. Creasy is initially chilly, but soon Pita softens his stern heart and the two bond over her upcoming swimming meet. Their blossoming surrogate father-daughter relationship, however, is shattered when Pita is kidnapped, and although one feels relief at Fanning’s sudden departure, Creasy takes it hard, and sets about finding the kidnappers he’s been led to believe have murdered the girl.
Scott dawdles his way through the drawn-out prologue, which is all the more frustrating considering the film’s unmistakable interest in festishizing Creasy’s vicious torture of the Mexican lowlifes (known as “The Brotherhood”) involved in Pita’s abduction. Subtitles jump across the screen with distracting flashiness, Scott’s washed-out images—fused to a chugging industrial-metal score—look like they’ve been sitting in the sun too long, and it’s clear we’re meant to enjoy rolling around in all of this filth. “Creasy’s art is death. He’s about to paint his masterpiece,” Walken laughably tells an investigator (Giancarlo Giannini), but Creasy’s malicious crusade is more Bad Boys II than Boticelli. Washington makes sure his character’s cruelty—including his use of an absurd rectal bomb—camouflages a St. Jude-inspired righteousness, just as Man on Fire‘s callous fixation on violence is merely a lame pose meant to distract us from its soggy redemptive core. Like both Kill Bill and The Punisher, Scott’s film fails to tap into the cynical brutishness that fuels the best noir and revenge stories, choosing instead to stage its portrait of blistering, hopeless rage with self-conscious bombast.
If you've seen one Tony Scott film on home video then you've seen them all. From the gooey colors to the aggressive sound effects, this DVD package will do well in the ADD community.
On his solo commentary track, Tony Scott reveals the pathology of his exoticizing aesthetic in expert if not wholly unconscious fashion-if you believe the world is your playground, then this track is certainly for you! Less informative but certainly more entertaining is the second commentary track with producer Lucas Foster, writer Brian Helgeland, and actress Dakota Fanning. Who cares what Foster and Helgeland have to say-it's all about Dakota, whose constant non-sequiturs are a source of constant amusement. Rounding out the disc are "inside looks" at Taxi and Hide and Seek, which seemingly casts Fanning in Jennifer Jason Leigh's role from Single White Female, and trailers for The Day After Tomorrow, I, Robot, and Alien Vs. Predator.
She speaks Spanish. She can play the piano. She can negotiate an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Is there anything Dakota Fanning can't do?

Why Is My Vision Getting Cloudy?
Cataract development is almost universal. But for over half of people over the age of 60, their vision has become impacted by their cataracts. A cataract is a clouding of the lens inside the eye, causing vision loss that cannot be corrected with any treatment other than surgery to remove the cataract-clouded lens and replace it with an artificial lens.
We perform cataract surgery at Central Valley Eye Medical Group.
What causes cataracts to form?
The basic cause of the clouding of the lens is protein. As protein builds up in the lens it becomes cloudy. As this progresses, the lens becomes more and more cloudy and your vision in that eye can seem as if you are looking through a dirty window.
These are the general reasons cataracts form:
- Diabetes— People with diabetes have a higher risk.
- UV radiation— This is the main reason. A lifetime of sun exposure and its UV radiation is shown to trigger the protein buildup of cataracts.
- Drugs— Corticosteroids and phenothiazine-related medications have links to accelerated cataract development.
- Smoking— Cigarette smoking seems to increase cataract development.
How will I know if I have a cataract?
Cataracts develop slowly as the protein builds. Most people have no idea they have a cataract in an eye as they simply don’t notice the gradual change. But when these symptoms start to show up, you’ll know:
- Vision that is cloudy, blurry, or filmy
- Diminished color vividness
- Problems with glare and night driving
- Glare during the day
- Double vision in the cataract-affected eye
- Decreased effectiveness of eyeglasses or contact lenses
Can you treat cataracts?
The only treatment for cataracts is surgery to remove the clouded lens and replace it with what is called an intraocular lens (IOL). This sounds scary, but it is actually the most successful surgery performed around the world every year. It is a quick procedure; recovery is not difficult; and your vision improves dramatically. Today’s IOL choices can offer vision at all distances and may even fix presbyopia (the need for reading glasses for up close vision after the age of 40).
Are you ready to do something about your cloudy vision? Call us at Central Valley Eye Medical Group, (800) 244-9907, and let’s talk about cataract surgery.

The first offshoot of the internationally successful "Atlas of the Irish Rural Landscape," "Newgrange and the Bend of the Boyne" is the exploration of an outstanding archaeological landscape centered on Newgrange Passage Tomb and its greater environs. In ancient times it was called the Brugh na Boinne. Today this area is designated as a World Heritage site and is Ireland's first protected Archaeological Park. Its rich fertile soils and south-facing slopes are set in County Meath in the most accessible, low-lying part of Ireland, close to the Irish Sea. This is where the great pre-historic tomb-building tradition of Atlantic Europe reached its zenith. It is where legend says the foundations of Irish Christianity were laid and is also the home of Ireland's first medieval Cistercian monastery at Mellifont. On the banks of the Boyne in 1690 one of the most important battles in Irish history was fought.The Bend of the Boyne had a pivotal role to play in Irish history and this is evident in its abundant physical remains, which can be traced among its fields and riverbanks. Through the interpretation of these remains this book presents an understanding of how this landscape was organized and exploited by communities over seven thousand years of settlement. This book draws heavily on the results of an extensive program of excavation at Knowth, Newgrange and Monknewtown and archaeological survey, which has greatly increased our knowledge of prehistoric societies. Using a wide range of maps, color photographs and historic as well as new drawings, it traces the gradual evolution of the landscape to the present day. The book is also concerned with the future of this protected cultural landscape andrecommends actions to ensure its protection and preservation.

Former New York Islanders forward Shane Prince signed an extension today with Spartak Moskva to remain in the KHL for the 2023-24 season. The Rochester, New York native never quite found his scoring touch in the NHL, scoring just 12 goals in 128 games with the Islanders and the Ottawa Senators. However, since joining the KHL he has 57 goals in 220 games. Prince was once thought of as a potential top-9 forward in the Ottawa Senators farm system after he notched 65 points in 72 AHL games in 2014-15, but he was unable to develop a consistent scoring touch in the NHL and found himself out of the league by 2018.
This season Prince has 35 points in 50 games and has found a home as a top-6 forward with Spartak. With his extension the 30-year-old has decided to forgo an opportunity to try and get back to the NHL for the time being. Although given the recent trend in the NHL to go younger, it seemed highly unlikely that the former second round pick would have another crack at a NHL job. Should he continue to show his recent scoring touch, he could find an NHL team calling in the summer of 2024 with an offer of a tryout or a two-way contract.
Some notes from around the NHL:
- The New Jersey Devils announced today that they have recalled forward Nolan Foote from the Utica Comets of the American Hockey League. Foote has dressed in 49 AHL games this season scoring 18 goals and 12 assists. He was with the big club for their recent California swing through Anaheim, Los Angeles, and San Jose, but played sparingly in his last outing as he saw just 3:08 of ice time. The 22-year-old was a first round pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2019 but has struggled to find the consistency he displayed in his AHL rookie season where he scored 17 points in 24 games. With his recall, Foote will have another opportunity to show the Devils that he is part of their young core moving forward.
- Fresh off signing Devon Levi to an entry level contract, Buffalo Sabres GM Kevyn Adams appears to have decided to keep the young netminder in Buffalo for the time being. The Buffalo News reporter Lance Lysowski quotes Adams as saying “We’ll kind of take it day by day, but we just thought for his development, where we are right now, this was a critical time for him to learn and grow with us and that’s why he’s coming right in.” For the Sabres it makes sense to have the young netminder shadow a veteran like Craig Anderson. Levi has had a rocket like trajectory as he has come from out of nowhere after being drafted in the seventh round and playing CCHL Tier 1 hockey in Ontario for the 2019-20 season. Should he continue on this path he could be the Sabres goaltender of the future.

One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show - Tricycle Theatre
Preview by Lizzie Guilfoyle
ECLIPSE Theatre Company is presenting Don Evans’ One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show at the Tricycle Theatre – from January 17 (preview January 16) to February 9, 2013.
In 1970’s Philadelphia suburbs, the Harrisons are the most respected middle-class Black family. However, the arrival of their young niece and her radical ideas from the rural South, turns their polite, Christian life on its head.
Described as an hilariously outrageous play in which The Cosby Show meets Restoration Comedy, One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show is about how hard we try to hide who we really are.
One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show received its UK premiere in a co-production between Eclipse Theatre and Sheffield Theatres in October 2011.
The cast includes Jacqueline Botswain (Mozelle/Mrs Caldwell), Karl Collins (Avery Harrison), Jocelyn Jee Esien (Myra Harrsion), Beverley Harrison (Rebecca Scroggs), Caleb Johnson (Clifford Samuel), Rochelle Rose (Lil’ Bits) and Issac Ssebandeke (Felix Harrsion).
One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show is directed by Dawn Walton, whose credits for Eclipse Theatre also include The Hounding of David Oluwale and Michael X. For Sheffield Theatres, she has directed There’s Only One Wayne Matthews.
Her credits elsewhere include Oxford Street, 93.2pm, Drag-On and The Shining (Royal Court Theatre); Winners and The Blacks (Young Vic); Urban Legend (Liverpool Everyman Theatre); Of Mice and Men (Southwark Playhouse) and Splinters (Talawa Theatre Company).
Don Evans was a noted African-American playwright, theatre director, actor and educator. A contemporary of August Wilson, he was a founding member of the Black Theatre Network and the African Grove Institute for the Arts. His principal works include Sugarmouth Sam Don’t Dance No More, The Trials and Tribulations of Staggerlee Brooker T. Brown, The Prodigals, Orrin, Matters of Choice, It’s Showdown Time, A Lovesong for Miss Lydia, Louis and Mahalia.
Eclipse Theatre Company is the only black-led national touring company delivering an annual middle-scale tour across the regions. Previous tours include Moon on a Rainbow Shawl by Errol John, Mother Courage and Her Children by Bertolt Brecht, adapted by Oladipo Agboluaje, Little Sweet Thing by Roy Williams, Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov, adapted by Mustapha Matura, Angel House by Roy Williams, The Hounding of David Oluwale by Kester Aspden, adapted by Oladipo Agboluaje and SUS by Barrie Keeffe (co-production with Young Vic Theatre).

With the new year approaching, the Kardashian and Jenner sisters have announced a big change, with all of their apps shutting down next year.
‘We’ve had an incredible experience connecting with all of you through our apps these past few years but have made the difficult decision to no longer continue updating in 2019,’ Kim Kardashian said on her official website on Wednesday.
‘We truly hope you’ve enjoyed this journey as much as we have, and we look forward to what’s ahead,’ she concluded.
Each sister’s app had a different focus, with Kendall’s centering on fashion, Kylie’s featuring playlists and makeup tutorials, Kim’s focusing on beauty, and Khloe’s more health and fitness-centric.
Kendall Jenner had already shut down her app in December 2017, expressing gratitude to connect with her fans.

In 2017 I went to New York for my first time. I was so excited not only because it was my first time in the city but especially because I was going there to exhibit six of my photographs! I spent that month going around the cities and those days I was being flooded with new sensations and new feelings. So I started to take photo of what I saw and I started to match together more pictures to transfer my feelings on the same shoot.
That’s the result. Images rich of color and overlap.

Sunday was our anniversary, so we wanted something special and we've never been to Gary Danko. First impression was small, intimate, lots of light wood. The wait staff were dressed in suits and ties, which at first was disconcerting, but we got used to it. Every table had 3 perfect roses. The plates were all white, but in interesting and unusual shapes - even a slanted bowl holding something delivered to another table. The service was competent, friendly, not snobby, and very helpful. The menu was the most flexible I've ever seen - almost anything can be substituted for anything else and totally mix and match. The 5 course tasting menu was only that because it was paired with a wine tasting. Basically, you could have 3 courses for $55, 4 courses for $64, and 5 courses for $74. My guess is that they adjusted the portion sizes depending on what course you wanted for what.
They first presented an amuse bouche of cucumber soup with tomato salsa. This was good, though not great, as it had a somewhat bitter edge. I had fois gras as my first course. The good sized portion was perfectly seared and lush and silky. The menu says it was with figs and carmelized onions. The carmelized onions were invisible, apparently, but there was a sauce of what seemed like a berry compote. The figs paired wonderfully with the fois gras, but on the whole it was too sweet.
My second course was Moroccan-spiced squab with cheramoya and orange-cumin carrots. Again, there was an invisible ingredient as I could find no trace of any cheramoya. On the other hand, the squab was medium rare, juicy, and went wonderfully with the couscous and the carrots.
Their cheese cart has been commented on previously on this list and it indeed looked impressive. Since my husband isn't a cheese person, I felt I was too full to do it justice.
My dessert course was a chocolate souffle with vanilla and chocolate sauces. Yum.
My husband, with an allergy to orange and a newly suspected allergy to the mint family was a bit more problematical. He ordered the seared ahi tuna as a first course and the duck as his second. The waitress came back and explained apologetically that both dishes included thyme, a member of the mint family. They served him sushi grade ahi with the rest of the preparation the same - lemon sauce, avocado, enoki mushrooms. Wonderful blend of flavors and beautifully presented. Instead of the duck he opted for the sturgeon, substituting the rosemary potato cake for pureed potatoes and the sauce. It was served topped with basil - another member of the mint family. Many apologies and the dish was redone with a lovely plate of vegetables on the side - as the original dish's veggies were cooked in basil oil. The kitchen really took care of him and the waitress was wonderful.
His fabulous dessert was a trio of creme brulee: vanilla, lemon verbena, and pistachio.
The wine steward, too, was helpful and knowledgeable.
Bottom line; wonderful but not perfect (as was Masa's when Julian Serrano was chef).

Can someone help me with a bit of information. My car is a late 1973 ( Sept compliance plate) It's originally auto but will be converted to manual when its rebuilt. I've read the thread here on the conversion and its been a huge help. I thought that I had everything that I needed until I bought some parts from Steve, at http://www.240zrubberparts.com/, There I saw the clutch pedal stop rubber and became aware of it.
If someone has a 1973 original manual car, could they tell me if it has the pedal stop? My car has a cut out in the fire wall insulator that looks to be in the right place. It won't be a problem to make one and fit it to the car, but I'd like to make sure that this model had it before I do.
Posted 07 April 2014 - 11:32 AM
The easiest fix is to glue a thick rubber door stop onto the firewall, Clark rubber has plenty of options for a couple of bucks.........just cut one to the correct thickness to stop the peddle before it bottoms out on the master cylinder.

Oh, so it won't be fitted for a couple of years then!
Posted 07 April 2014 - 04:25 PM
Just got me wondering what everybody who has previously done the Auto > Manual conversion has done in this regard ?
Posted 07 April 2014 - 05:45 PM
to PB260Z I wonder the same thing...as 260COUPE posted it would be easy s to put something in there thats does the job.
Peter...since you've gone to so much trouble can ask you for one more thing? I've attached a quick drawing that I did...the front face appears to be on an angle...can you give dimensions A & B to help get that part right...
I'm not planning on taking another two years...fingers crossed..... although I'm sure you've heard it before " since I retired I don't know when I had time to go to work"
Posted 07 April 2014 - 07:45 PM
...the front face appears to be on an angle...
I'm afraid my old tired eyes didn't spot that: A= 36, B = 39. Nor did I know that was a rubber pad. It was sprayed with etch primer when I had the shell sandblasted and then sprayed with 2 pac when I did the interior. I'll have to remove it tomorrow and scrape the paint off. What would Frank and Derek have said about such shoddy work?
The 32mm is measured from the bottom of the hole in the firewall for the steering column and the 30mm is from the centre of the threaded hole.

Hello everyone! Hope you’re having a restful weekend!
Today I have a card to share which I made for the Pinkfresh Studio December 2022 Challenge! The theme of this month’s challenge is HAPPY HOLIDAYS ! For my holiday card I used the Holiday Elements product suite and the Holiday City View stamp and stencils from the Holiday Release.
My color choices are based on the color palette from the challenge graphic.
I started by gold heat embossing the Holiday City View stamp on a Neenah solar white panel. I stenciled the houses using the coordinating stencil set in Candy Apple, Coral Reef, Meadow, Sky Blue and Sunshine. After the stenciling was done I cut the panel using the Stitched Rectangles die and foam mounted it on a white cardbase
Next I gold heat embossed the poinsettia wreath and the solo poinsettia image from the Holiday Elements set and stenciled them very lightly using the blending brushes I used to stencil the background without adding more ink colors to them. So I colored the center of the poinsettias in light red, some leaves in light green or yellow and the berries in light pink and light yellow. After stenciling I cut the images using the coordinating die. I cut a dark red cardstock with the same die to add a shadow layer to the poinsettias.
I cut a hexagon panel from some vellum using the Nested Hexagons die and adhered it on the background to cover the busy background a bit. I then added the red layer of the die cut poinsettias using foam tape and the stenciled images on it also using some foam tape.
Hope I was able to inspire you with my card and you’ll play along!
One cardmaking entry and one memory-keeping entry will receive a $50 gift card to the Pinkfresh Studio Store! The two winners will be randomly selected based on these two categories.
Make a paper project with Pinkfresh Studio products as the focus and play along! Please stop by Pinkfresh Studio monthly Challenge page for more inspiration and for the challenge rules!

Recently, I purchased a little device to make low carb zucchini spaghetti.
It’s a pretty simple dish as I put the zucchini in a pan, after using the device and cooked in a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper for around five minutes or so.
Great to eat with salmon or chicken breast, but rather tasty and easy to make.
For those not familiar with zucchini, although its ancestry is traced in the Americas, the name is derived from the Italian word for pumpkin/squash (zucca + ina which means “little”). And many varieties of zucchini were developed in Italy after their introduction from the Americas.
But zucchini (which is a fruit not vegetable) has great health benefits from having a high content of vitamin A and C, potassium, folate, copper and phosphorus. This summer squash also has a high content of omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, niacin, and protein. Zucchini also contains vitamin B1, vitamin B6, vitamin B2, and calcium.
It’s important to note that if you plan to grow your own squash, you will need to make sure that it’s watered frequently because even dry weather conditions can stress the plant and lead to toxins and have the presence of curcurbitacin (a few people have died from gastrointestinal infections). So, it’s probably one that I prefer purchasing at a grocery store than growing it.

Skip to comments.The Rage Offstage at Marvel ($5 billion lawsuit - Stan Lee Media claims rights to Lee characters)
Posted on 06/28/2008 12:22:22 PM PDT by doug from upland
The Rage Offstage at Marvel By BILL ALPERT
Lawsuits against Marvel, Lee and Bill and Hillary are pressing Paul's claims that a dot-com he started with Stan Lee in 1998 was undone by the actions of the former president, short-sellers and Stan Lee himself. In a Manhattan federal district court, some of Paul's associates argue that the bankrupt dot-com, Stan Lee Media, still owns rights to Marvel characters like Spider-Man and The X-Men. On behalf of the former dot-com, they want half the profits that Marvel (ticker: MVL) is piling up, now that it's producing its own films like the smash hit Iron Man and the just-opened The Incredible Hulk.

What do Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby’s estate have to say about this (Ditko is still alive).
I don’t know that they’ve had anything to say.
I don’t mean to derail discussion of the funding scandal. Just pointing out that there were multiple parties in the creation of these licensed characters.
And work for hire could still be appealed for creator ownership after a period of years. Jack fought Marvel for his artwork back for a lengthy period (when pages were being sold off at auction I believe to profit the company starting in the 1980s).
And I think Kirby and Simon fought for ownership of Captain America and won (they may have then sold or licensed the chacters back to Marvel).
Don’t recall Ditko’s name ever coming up (he’s a private person).
And the media seems only to willing to gloss over the contributions of others in their mythmaking.
If Lee pursued sole ownership of the trademarked characters with no consideration given to (or waived by) the artists, then it is an incomplete claim of ownership and should not have much support in court. Kirby did not draw the Spider-man comic but he did co-create the character.
We are back in Texas after two years in Rancho Cucamonga California. Our youngest son 24 years old decided to stay in Irvine Calif where he goes to Concordia Univ. He was walking in L A one day recently and saw Stan Lee. He said “Hi, Stan” and Stan said “Hi” back to him. I asked HOW he recognized him. Mike said he is easy to recognize. Said he is a nice guy.
BTW that was a photo of Stan Lee.
You’re not derailing the fundraising scandal. This article is more about the claims against Marvel. Since I have a considerable number of shares in Stan Lee Media, I am very interested in this case.
This history may help - http://www.stanleemedia.net-a.googlepages.com/synopsisof13dfilingandfindingsofinvestig
Over three years ago, I spent considerable time going through the bankruptcy file of Stan Lee Media. I was astounded at the failure of Stan to list the assets of the company. Stan Lee Media had tens of millions of dollars worth of assets. They should have been reorganized and asserted their rights, not destroyed.
Another mis-adventure The Clintons were involved in.
Who’da thunk it?
Didn’t Lee sell the rights to his characters a while back?
He made a deal with Marvel in late 1998, one month after virtually the same deal he made with Stan Lee Media. He sued Marvel for a share of the profits from the characters and got over $10 mil. Stan Lee Media has some real legal issues on its side in the lawsuit.

DNA double labelling with IdUrd and CldUrd for spatial and temporal analysis of cell proliferation and DNA replication
A procedure was developed that very effectively distinguishes between IdUrd and CldUrd incorporated in the DNA of cell nuclei and chromosomes. For double staining we used the, rat anti-BrdUrd monoclonal antibody from Sera-lab that binds specifically to CldUrd and BrdUrd but not to IdUrd, in combination with the mouse anti-BrdUrd monoclonal antibody from Becton Dickinson. This antibody binds to all three halogenated deoxyuridines, but when the nuclei are washed in TRIS buffer with a high salt concentration the antibodies linked to CldUrd-labelled DNA are removed. When analysing the effect of the deoxyuridines on the cell cycle we found that the growth kinetics of Chinese hamster cells were not changed by adding IdUrd or CldUrd for 30 min at a concentration of 10 μm, whereas adequate double labelling required only 2 min pulses. The effectiveness of the technique was demonstrated in two model experiments. The first test concerned the assessment of cell recruitment in the central areas of slow-growing clones, after addition of fresh medium. The second experiment focussed on the spatial resolution of the method. Double-labelled metaphase chromosomes showed interspersed green and red replication bands with a spacing corresponding with medium resolution Giemsa banding patterns.

According to the heart-healthy guidelines of the American Heart Association, people should not take more than 100 – 150 calories from the added sugars. The added sugars are the syrups and sugars added to foods in the preparation and processing. Every organ in the body can be affected by sugar. It may result in diabetes, obesity, and tooth decay, certain types of cancer, heart disease, and poor cognitive functioning. As you know, refined sugar is a popular form of added sugar which should be kept away from. Instead of this type of sugar, you should choose natural sweeteners to consume and satisfy your sweet hobby. Natural sweeteners are natural healthy sugar substitutes that are better options than processed sugar and artificial sugar. In fact, fruits are also a healthy option to satisfy the sweet hobby, but you can't include fruits in most beverages and recipes which call for sugar. Luckily, there are a lot of natural sweeteners – healthy sugar substitutes, which you can use in many ways. Today, in this article, VKool will introduce to you the top 10 natural healthy sugar substitutes. The list below is completely collected from reliable sources.

Soaked in a melancholy which enthuse their hearts rather than casting them in darker oppressive shadows, the songs and sound of UK indie rock band The Darlingtons is an absorbing and magnetic wash of imagination and craft. The Taunton band has a presence and ability to reflect the darker shadows of ordinary life in a way which pulls no punches but still brings a breath of hope and consolatory comfort; most of all though it provides one pleasing and evocative encounter which plays like a new old friend and emotional co-conspirator.
With already their debut EP Decades Dance under their belt and the experience of having a label ‘behind’ them, the foursome of Kiran Roy, Daniel Young, Alex Bispham, and Chris Holmes now forge their own furrow and fight their own battles alone, and earning plenty of acclaim for their live performances and now their second EP through it. Who says there’s no beach on Doncaster? Is a collection of six live tracks bringing the band’s stage potency directly into the ears of the listener. It is a raw and unafraid to show warts and all encounter which declares the quality of songwriting and sound of The Darlingtons with unrestrained ease, and probably with such intensity to the emotive strength of the quartet, does so far better than any studio release might be able.
Opening song Bats is an immediate attention grabbing proposition, rhythms a bold enticement around which the guitars float and flame with melodic enterprise. Everything takes a step back soon after arriving, apart from the continuing to jab rhythms and moody bass, to allow the excellent vocals to begin their narrative. It is compelling stuff which only intensifies as the guitars return their sonic embracing and vocal harmonies skirt the emotive vocal delivery. Though arguably not as tender in its touch, there is a feel of the House Of Love to the song which seduces as successfully as the every punchy rhythmic frame. It is a mesmeric lure and already a powerful declaration of the band in songwriting and live performance.
The following Ship At Sea has turmoil in its presence from the first note, keys offering an unsettled emotive suggestiveness whilst the drums prowl the song as if expecting dark clouds and trouble ahead. The rhythmic aspect of the band is a scintillating temptation throughout the release, constantly offering immense and dramatic textures and cages which thrust the song to the heart of imagination and emotions within its recipients. Within the song the still impressive vocals find themselves a little overrun by the intensity and rhythmic intent but not enough to defuse their effect and reflective potency whilst the guitars and bass conjure individual entrapments for the senses which are as irresistibly toxic as they are mouth-wateringly enterprising, especially the twang lilted bait laid down in the latter part of the riveting track. With a slight resemblance to Prince Edward Island and evocatively Scottish band Letters, the track leaves a lingering breath-taking impact in its wake.
Both Don’t Give Me Hope and For Some Else In Time keep the band’s hold on the passions secure, the first an insightful beckoning lyrically and musically around again rolling hypnotic rhythms which slowly builds its atmosphere and intensity into a climactic finale which never quite reaches the full blaze its hints at but certainly has the air smouldering brightly. Its successor equally burns with a resourceful but reserved suasion which leaves the appetite well catered for and want for more an open greed. Neither of the songs quite matches the might of the previous tracks but with elements which fully seduce and overall a presence that breeds satisfaction, the pair only enhances the experience of Who Says There’s No Beach In Doncaster?.
The opening to Everything is a surprising welcome, guitars prancing with a festive heart and dark bass romping within their eager caresses. It is not that the other tracks are manna to the pessimist but the shadows are noticeable by their absence at the start of the song and when it sparks its rhythmic and guitar spawned explosive fuel. The track then does step into that melancholic shade again which initially disappoints but only until the song merges both extremes into a vibrant and magnetic dance of sound and emotional expulsion. Though the song also falls just behind the outstanding start to the EP it provides another varied and flavoursome treat, rhythms and guitar strokes addictive, keys and vocals alluring.,
Watch Yourself brings the release to a close in fine style, the song an infection loaded slice of indie pop with a heavy emotional body which a virulently anthemic chorus. It completes in Who Says There’s No Beach In Doncaster? an exciting and robust encounter from a band we are going to hear a lot of in coming years you suspect and one definitely that should be seen on stage.

text: I highly recommend this property to anyone looking to visit the Alps of Italy. The owners were very helpful, and extremely hospitable. Even after changes in travel plans put us in late they were extremely understanding and gracious. They were very attentive and quick to answer any questions we had and even delivered a delicious fruit pie on the full day we were there. They definitely went above and beyond to ensure we felt at home. I honestly cannot say enough positive things about this property. It has plenty of space with comfortable beds and it seems newly renovated. There was plenty of space for the 8 kids in our group to run around both inside and outside in the yard. Additionally, the location itself is absolutely stunning. The views you can see from the front door and property will take your breath away.

When I was growing up in the 1990s, Maggie Barry was a beloved television presenter. Her gardening expertise was unparalleled. Whether your question was where to plant your hyacinths or how to really bring out the colonial Victorian side of your rose garden in Epsom, Auckland (it’s a bit like England, only more English), Maggie was the one to ask. She even has a rose named after her.
But somewhere along the line, things changed for Maggie. She took a darker turn. In 2011, voters in my home electorate on Auckland’s North Shore elected Maggie to Parliament. Last year, Prime Minister John Key took a break from tweaking ponytails to appoint her as Minister of Conservation. But deprived of her trusty sidekick, ‘bug man’ Ruud Kleinpaste, Maggie has strayed into the dark, dark realms of climate denial.
Or, to use her own words, of refuting facts.
She’s not the first member of her caucus to deny basic climate facts. But she has done so with remarkable zest and vigour.
New Zealanders deserve better than this. We care about our unique natural environment and our native flora and fauna. We know what the solutions are. And they don’t include declaring a Battle for the Birds, which Maggie has done. It’s a bizarre move, reminiscent of the still failing wars on drugs and terrorism. Solutions aren’t about aggressive rhetoric and ad hoc opportunism.
Real climate solutions, of the type a Minister of Conservation should be thinking about, must come through developing meaningful national plans to both adapt to and mitigate climate change.


Since December 2019, Shimmick has made significant progress on the $200 million Orange County Water District (OCWD) Groundwater Replenishment System project, involving expansion at two Orange County water treatment plants. The project will allow the water treatment facility to process approximately 130 million gallons a day, a 30 percent increase from its current output.
Over the past six months, the team has focused efforts on the excavation of a 40 foot by 60 foot by 35 foot pump station wet well, which will store water before it is pumped from the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) plant to the OCWD plant. Due to its ocean-side location, the excavation site was at a water table of approximately -5, significant given the project involved digging 35 feet deep. Because the project required digging to an elevation of -25, keeping the shoring pit dry and workable was incredibly difficult.
To install the perimeter shoring of the pit, the team drove steel beams 57 feet deep, then installed steel plates and wooden lagging between the beams to keep the silt and water from entering the pit. Additionally, to minimize such silt and water leakage, an intensive dewatering system was necessary. The team installed six deep dewatering wells and two de-silting tanks around the outside of the excavation, used to desaturate the surrounding soil. However, after weeks of consistent rain in February, the team added shallow dewatering pumps inside the well to keep the shoring pit dry.
Now that the excavation is complete and the pit floor is dry and level enough to avoid differential settlement, the team has placed filter fabric and two feet of rock over the entire pit floor. Next, the team will place a large concrete slab and six distinct phases of concrete walls before the shoring can be removed. Once the wet well has been built, the team will construct the top half of the pump station and the piping and mechanical work, which will likely take over a year.

For all of us who may have forgotten, our food chain starts with photosynthesis. Yes, the process we learned about in elementary school. Everything alive on planet earth depends on the miraculous ability of plants to turn carbon dioxide (CO2), sunlight, and water into carbohydrates (sugar). CO2 comes from the atmosphere, actually, we have too much of it. Light is courtesy of the sun, but water needs to reach the plant's roots either naturally by rain, or artificially by irrigation. Without the constant availability of water, the food-producing machine called a plant works in a suboptimal way or stops working completely. The bottom line, if our crops don’t get a consistent supply of water we will have less food to go around.
The future of food lies in data transparency and sharing
The year is 2030. At the local grocery store, I pick up a bag of rice and scan it with my smart glasses. Its entire journey from the slopes of the Marmara region of Turkey to my soon to be delicious dinner dish unfolds in front of my eyes: where it grew, who the growers were, how much water, fertilizers and crop protection it consumed and how much energy was spent on delivering it to my local store. Numbers, facts, stats, and the shiny blue tag stating “Sustainably Grown Rice”. I pick it up, check out, and head home to cook dinner.


A mental health worker has died after being stabbed and collapsing at a busy café in Rockingham, south of Perth.
Staff and diners tried desperately to save the woman, who drove herself to the cafe after allegedly being attacked at an apartment block nearby around 5pm yesterday.
The woman was at the apartment block to visit a client when she was stabbed in the neck.
It is understood she drove herself around 700 metres down the road to Dome Café, and stumbled inside for help.
Horrified staff and diners tried to stem the bleeding with towels.
She was rushed to Fiona Stanley Hospital but later died from her injuries.
Heavily armed police descended on a block of flats close to the café and smashed in the door of one apartment.
"There was an awful lot of loud banging where they'd obviously smashed the door in," neighbour Ross Smith said.
A man was taken into custody and is being questioned by police.
No charges have been laid.
In a statement, Dome Café said the workers who tried to help the woman will be offered counselling.
"Police have requested that the café remain closed whist they investigate the incident," it said.
"Our thoughts are with all those affected by this incident."

First time in Cafe Central and YOU have to go! It’s the cutest little spot with amazing food. The Dessert is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! The service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience.
This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is pretty good, some italian classics and some twists, and for their prices it’s 100% worth it.
This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Austria. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Austria.

Vienna is beautiful in early spring and well worth a visit. Lots of historic buildings, great shopping and excellent places to eat, There is a different feeling to it early morning, with locals going to open the shops and cafes around. You seat somewhere for coffee, and once you are out it suddenly is buzzing with countless people walking in every direction. The buildings are beautiful and will have you walk with your head up looking at the intricate decorations. I walked 30km in a single day around it going from place to place. One of the more beautiful historic centers in Europe.

Maybe Green Vienna is technically part of the 18th District of Vienna. I doubt it. If it is, it is a long way from the rest of the 19th District. Fortunately, Vienna is well connected by its public transportation. You need to get to the 38A bus in the Grinzing area of the 19th, and ride up the long journey to the top of the mountain. But, Oh, what a view! There is a hotel and restaurant and coffee shop up there. You will want to go on a clear day, but the evening lights of Vienna are also interesting. Watch the times for the bus, to coordinate your trip back down the mountain. It is an interesting cobblestone trip, all on its own.

It’s a fantastic place for culture lovers, having played home to such icons as Mozart, Haydn, and Strauss. It was also the seat of the vast Habsburg empire, which for a time was one of the largest empires in the world.
As you can imagine therefore, there’s quite a lot to see and do here, whatever time of year you are visiting. In summer you can enjoy warm days and pleasant strolls through the streets, whilst if you visit Vienna in winter, you’ll find some of the best Christmas markets in Europe. Vienna is stuffed full of museums, palaces, art galleries, churches and restaurants, and you could spend a great deal of time here sight-seeing. #vienna #austria
The Hofburg is the former principal imperial palace of the Habsburg dynasty. Located in the center of Vienna, it was built in the 13th century and expanded several times afterwards. It also served as the imperial winter residence, as Schönbrunn Palace was the summer residence. Since 1946 it is the official residence and workplace of the President of Austria. The name translates as "Castle of the Court", which denotes its origins when initially constructed during the Middle Ages. Initially planned in the 13th century as the seat of the Dukes of Austria, the palace expanded over the centuries, as they became increasingly powerful. From 1438 to 1583, and again from 1612 to 1806, it was the seat of the Habsburg kings and emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, and thereafter until 1918 the seat of the Emperors of Austria. Since then the palace has continued in its role as the seat of the head of state and is today used by the Austrian Federal President.
Vienna is a city that has long been associated with excellence in modern, multiunit housing and BURO KLK's Gudrunstraße lends further credence to this perception. Erected in an empty lot, the building's façade is comprised of stacked Viennese Schrebergardens (traditional, small and intmate garden communities), creating a unique identity for each home while simultaneously reinforcing a strong and singular character for the building as a whole. The peaked gable-like protrutions act like symbols of home and dwelling — an especially welcome image in a predominantly commercial neighborhood. In this sense, the apartment building positively contributes to the area's urban development. The complex contains a total of fifty apartments and six offices, all oriented to the South-East towards a more quiet street. This optimizes light conditions while reducing noise pollution.

Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, will join a closed-door meeting with House Democrats, according to an exclusive report by Bloomberg. This pivotal summit will convene members of the influential New Democrat Coalition, a group recognized for their dedication to fostering economic growth, innovation, and fiscal responsibility.
The primary focus of the meeting will center around digital-asset legislation and its various facets, including taxation, national security, privacy, and climate considerations. With the recent surge of proposed crypto-related bills in Congress, the intention is to explore avenues for clarifying regulations in this rapidly evolving industry. However, given the existing partisan divisions, the prospects of achieving successful outcomes still need to be determined.
Coinbase has been contending with legal challenges, most notably with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing charges against the company on June 6, accusing it of violating federal securities law.
Coinbase vehemently criticized the SEC’s decision, labeling it an abuse of discretion and a violation of due process. Notably, a recent court ruling regarding Ripple’s XRP coin not being deemed security brought a 24% boost to Coinbase’s stock price, delivering a partial victory to Ripple and the broader crypto sector.
Both Coinbase and the New Democratic Coalition had yet to respond to requests for comment as of Tuesday before U.S. business hours.
The upcoming meeting holds significant implications for the future of Coinbase and the entire crypto industry. The involvement of high-profile Democrats aligned with the New Democrat Coalition signals a growing recognition of the importance of digital assets and blockchain technology.
Armstrong and his counterparts can shape ongoing legislative efforts regarding cryptocurrencies by engaging in constructive dialogue behind closed doors. The outcome of this gathering could pave the way for more favorable regulations, fostering an environment conducive to the growth of the crypto market. Conversely, any impasse or lack of consensus may deepen the divide between industry players and regulators, potentially hindering progress and innovation in this burgeoning sector.
As market observers and industry stakeholders eagerly await news of the deliberations, the decisions made behind closed doors will significantly impact the trajectory of Coinbase, the regulatory landscape, and the broader digital asset ecosystem.
The meeting represents a crucial juncture where collaboration, understanding, and forward-thinking are paramount, aiming to establish a balanced framework that promotes innovation and investor protection. The crypto industry and its supporters hope this closed-door engagement will lead to constructive outcomes and a clearer path for regulating digital assets.

Pact Reached On Reducing Tax Incentives
By JAMES C. McKINLEY Jr.
Published: June 13, 1992
Mayor David N. Dinkins and New York City Council leaders announced an agreement yesterday to eliminate many tax breaks for new office towers in midtown and lower Manhattan as part of an overhaul of the city's largest tax incentive program for developers.
While cutting off tax breaks for new construction in Manhattan south of 96th Street, the revamped program would bolster incentives for developers who renovate existing buildings in Manhattan over the next two years. It also would retain significant tax breaks for new construction or renovation above 96th Street and in the other four boroughs.
The idea is to reward developers who want to modernize existing office space, encourage development outside Manhattan and discourage new towers when Manhattan is facing a glut of office space, city officials and Council staff members said.
"We don't want to encourage additional, speculative, new construction in Manhattan because we think that's unnecessary," said Carl Weisbrod, the president of the city's Economic Development Corporation. State Action Required
The agreement, announced at City Hall yesterday, will be sent to the State Legislature, which under the State Constitution must pass a law before the City Council can enact any changes in tax incentives, city officials said.
Spokesmen for the leaders of the Senate and the Assembly said it was too early to tell whether the bill had a good chance of passing, though both houses have supported previous incarnations of the program. They said it would be unusual for lawmakers to reject a local measure supported by both the Mayor and the Council.
The city is also seeking authority from the state to require that a fifth of work in construction projects spurred by the program will go to businesses owned by women and minorities, city officials said.
The Industrial Commercial Incentive Program, as the plan is called, is the city's largest single economic development program and has been a boon for developers for nearly eight years.
Critics, including the Mayor and Borough President Ruth W. Messinger of Manhattan, have charged that the program has amounted to handouts for some developers in Manhattan who would have built there anyway.
Since 1984, when the program was started, developers have received hundreds of millions of dollars in exemptions that free them from tax increases normally levied on any improvements to a building or site. Some of those taxes are merely deferred, meaning the city receives the revenues many years later. In the current fiscal year, city officials estimate, the exemptions and deferrals total $110 million for more than 700 projects.
Depending on location and project, developers have enjoyed anywhere from a three-year deferral of all property taxes, with the obligation to pay taxes back 11 to 20 years later, to a full exemption for 13 years, phased out slowly over nine years.
The agreement announced yesterday would slash all tax breaks for new construction in Manhattan south of 96th Street. In some parts of midtown, developers used to enjoy a three-year tax deferral. Instead, the city would give developers who renovate older buildings an exemption from higher taxes for eight years, with a gradual phasing in of taxes over the next five years. In other areas the incentives remain essentially the same.
Stephen Spinola, the president of the Real Estate Board of New York, said developers welcomed the incentives for renovation, but he questioned the wisdom of cutting all incentives for new construction. With the automatic incentives, he said, the city will end up cutting more special deals for businesses that threaten to leave.
"We told the city it's a mistake," he said. "This is sending the wrong signal out that we don't want to see some kind of growth."'

NEW PRAGUE, Minn. (WCCO) — Get ready to pay more for groceries and the government says blame it on the hot weather.
A USDA report on Wednesday said everything from steak to milk to egg prices will go up 3 to 5 percent by the end of the year because of drought conditions in much of the country.
Dairy products could be the first place you will feel the pinch.
At Cedar Summit Farm in New Prague, Minn., waiting out this year’s heat and humidity is like waiting for the cows to come home.
“It affects our bottom line, obviously,” farmer Dave Minar said. “We have less milk to sell, less milk to bottle.”
That’s because as temperatures go up, the amount of milk the cows make goes down.
The heat can also bring out more bugs, which also affects milk production.
“It irritates the cow and she uses up energy trying to ward off the flies,” Minar said.
He said his cows have made about 10 percent less milk this month.
The Minnesota Milk Producers Association says most others in the state are reporting a loss — anywhere from 5 to 20 percent.
And Minnesota isn’t the only state suffering.
The biggest milk producing states — Wisconsin, Idaho and California — are all in a drought. They’re reporting slower milk production and expensive feed costs, which is bad news to some consumers.
“I have a kid who drinks so much milk I can’t keep track anyway,” said shopper Carrie Daklin.
WCCO stopped by a few stores tonight, and a gallon of milk ranged anywhere from $2.99 to $3.89 a gallon.
And that’s actually a little bit lower than what we were paying last summer.
Farmers say it’s due to the mild winter.

WASHINGTON -- Several former third-party presidential candidates filed a lawsuit yesterday to block the Commission on Presidential Debates from sponsoring future debates, asserting the organization is biased toward the Democratic and Republican parties.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court, says the debate commission is a partisan organization that violates federal election law by letting only Democratic and Republican candidates participate in the debates it organizes.
Those filing the lawsuit include consumer advocate Ralph Nader, the Green Party's presidential nominee in 2000 and a possible independent candidate this year; John Hagelin and Patrick Buchanan, former Reform Party candidates; and Howard Phillips, a former Constitution Party candidate.
The lawsuit asks the court to force the Federal Election Commission to stop the debate commission from sponsoring four debates scheduled to start Sept. 30. The third-party candidates first sought relief from the FEC last June, but complain that the agency has failed to take action.
FEC spokesman Bob Biersack said he could not comment on pending litigation.
Janet Brown, executive director of the debate commission, said the lawsuit raises many of the same issues that courts rejected before the last round of presidential debates.
Founded in 1987, the debate commission is a nonprofit corporation that allows candidates with at least 15 percent support in national polls to participate in its debates. Third-party candidates have long complained that they are unfairly excluded, but the commission says it wants to limit participation to those candidates with a realistic chance of winning the election.
The lawsuit also alleges that the commission excluded the plaintiffs from sitting in the audience at 2000 debates and that it distributed a `face book' of third-party candidates at one debate so staff could recognize and deny them access to the debate hall even if they had a ticket.
