The Big Picture: Super Single
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 NEXT
on a kinda related note Sonic the hedgehog should get a fricken girlfriend allready.
as for superman and wonder woman "project A-KO" its hinted at that they are Ako's parents and it looks like they retired from the super hero thing.
You're not alone there... even if there is going to be a Birds of Prey series, Oracle is nowhere to be seen. :( Even if for some reason Barbara got the use of her legs back, how would that make sense for her to go back crimefighting as BatGIRL? *facepalm*
As for the video... I disagree. I understand the real world parallel of army wives but still knowing their spouse is going to be in constant danger does not prevent them from getting married, does it?
It does boil down to what was said above, running out of ideas, and trying to make sense of a world where time does not lapse and things have to stay the same and still appealing. They're just stirring the pot just to keep reader's attention, not by the quality of their work but by ticking them off. *shrug*
What are we going to do with all those "Superman is the only man who wears his underwear over his pants" jokes?
I think that putting Clark through a dating process could be entertaining. Usually Superman stories are fun, but his alter-ego is dull. This could be just what the comic needs.
Could we have an alternate universe where the superheroes armour of choice isn't latex?
For me, the Superman books just never caught my interest. I don't read the books; not because I don't like him as a character but simply because the everyday stuff he gets into between the huge events where he can be challenged by forces that could actually kill him just don't interest me. Supes is nigh indestructable against most things, so him doing anything less than fighting huge god-like entities like Darksied or the Anti-Monitor seems just dull to me.
As such, come the DC relaunch, I'm not going to use it as a jumping on point to start reading the Superman books. As such, I could not care less about whether he's married or not. The comics from what I've gathered usually treated their marriage as an incidental thing anyway, so there's that.
However, one thing about Superman and marriage irks me: the idea some writers (predominantly of elseworlds stories) have that Superman should be shipped with Wonder Woman. Bob touched on this a bit in the video, but here's the more important issue. The only reason they support this ship comes from the delusion that the most powerful man in the world should "logically" be paired with the strongest woman in the world.
Thing is, this isn't logical at all. Putting aside that the two have nothing in common outside of their superheroing, from a story perspective this severely limits what writers can do when it comes to their relationships. If a superhero marries or gets into a relationship with a normal human, that lends itself to endless drama and interesting storylines. If two superheros shack up, what tension is there to be had? Why should one worry about the safety of the other when both have saved the world a hundred times over?
And also, as that whole "Flash Family" saga of Wally West's tenure as the primary Flash (before Barry Allen came back), is it really better to abandon all the non-powered supporting cast of a book in favor of just developing the heroes? No damnit! The supporting cast is often the ones that get the most character development in a book because they need to be defined by more than just their name, costume, and powers, because they have none. What the SupermanxWonder Woman shippers are trying to do is define a relationship not through their individual characters, but simply through their powers. And that is how a hack writes!
I always liked the Batman / Wounderwomen set up in the Justice League cartoon. Batman was just constantly saying it was a bad idea while Wounderwomen was like "whatever bitch your arse is mine", I think it suited their characters, at least in that series.
Since I tend to focus on Marvel's big event I don't spend much time on DC - it's nice to get an update on that and explanation ;)
Tell me about it. They just couldn't resist putting him in teams and using him as a go to deus ex machina. Same thing with Doc Strange, and Ironman, and really pretty much all characters that have a lot of magic or tech. Least DC has the curtsy of rotating their characters who save the day and reset things back to 0.
Sorry for the double post.
Superman and Lois Lane not being together? Whatever.
Grant Morrison, the writer of All Star Superman, bringing back an angry, socialist golden age Superman who fights currupt corporate buisness men and politians and represents the working man in the new great depression?
...comics are still being made and sold?
The problem is both Marvel and DC try to introduce new characters all the time. None of them are as popular as either comics regular Superheroes. Very few created in the last 20-30 years have stuck
The ones who do stick either have niche or cult followings (Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Deadpool) or are legacy characters connected in someway to existing franchises (Damian Wayne (Robin 4), Tim Drake (Robin 3), Batwoman, Superboy, Kyle Rayner (Green Lantern 4) ect)
Fantastic Four as "old married couple with two obnoxious kids" o_O Blew my mind.
A thousand times yes.
And on top of that unbelievably delicious cake there's the damn tasty icing of Rags Morales' art.
Should be one of the best books of the relaunch in my eyes.
That and everything in the Dark line up (Animal Man, Swamp Thing, Justice League Dark, Frankenstein ect) is a must buy.
Books like that aren't as designed by committee as DC is. Usually, the writer (Brian Michael Bendis) pitches it to the EIC and such, and if it makes sense and it could be interesting, they approve. If it's a big shift - such as the Black/Latino Spider-man - they put some marketing power behind it as well.
Even the big events began as simple pitches by the writers, not necessarily directed by a marketing department.
As for why it happened, well -
Likely they're planning on separating the Ultimate Universe from the regular universe even more. Killing Ultimate Peter Parker - the first Ultimate character - signifies that, but they've been talking about it since Ultimatum. They want more original stories with original characters more so than derivative stories with "Ultimized" characters. This new Spider-man is indicative about it.
And that's why they ultimately (ba-dum-tish) killed him off. What irritated most folks was how they threw him in and retconned stuff so that he always had existed in Marvel comics. Most fans were like Bwah-huh? Especially when most comics readers though he was stupid and disliked him to begin with.
Bob, I dare you to go the next three weeks without a comic book episode.
The way you started this one even sarcastically admits that this is basically becoming what the show is about, which is sad, because there are so many other interesting, engaging things that you can talk about and have talked about.
Or, at the very least, use the comic book topics as a springboard to expand into farther reaching subjects. Most of these episodes are just about comics for the sake of comics.
I do realize that you just did a month about movies, which I appreciated, and it's why I'm kind of exasperated that you're dropping straight back into comics.
So, it's all the fans fault then.
Clark Kent getting married is logical to me. Ma and Pa Kent are not going to be around forever, and the character needs somewhere to call home and someone just as close to confide in. The character himself may be physically indestructible, but emotionally he'll just be a slave to the people who constantly forget their babies in burning buildings. This is one of my favorite things about Spider-man 2, since that film addresses the desires of the superhero to lead a normal life even with the burden of responsibility of their powers.
Superman being single doesn't make him more relatable any more than being married. Do people want to see Clark Kent, boy scout as he his, hit it and quit it? I honestly don't understand what is so wrong with a logical progression of a relationship status. Does he need to be obsessed with the Metropolis Meteors, drink a lot, date endlessly, and despise his life of endless heroism in order to match up with American tastes? His desire to marry stems from being raised by his married parents and observing the love and support they offer each other. Just because he's an indestructible alien doesn't mean he has to be condemned to a personal hell of solitude. So marriage is the true enemy of the superhero?
I don't think the company is making a wrong decision in taking the opportunity to alter their stories, and provide a solid jumping-on point for new readers. However, if their desire is to pair Superman and WW together I have a big problem with that. I love the alternate universes where this relationship is explored, but I think that hurts WW's characterization too much. It makes her look weak, and I feel that WW should remain independent.
I'll leave this here to inspire your empathy.
I'll read comic if the DC reboot happens. I don't want to have to deal with head up the ass continuity issues.
Most stable couple in comics?
Interesting... though I have to say I agree more with the passing mention of Wondy coming out of the closet than the "Supes as a swinging bachelor" main argument.
Nope, I'm gonna be a stubborn old man on this one.
Supes wears red undies or I cancel my subscription.
Supes belongs with Lois Lane or I cancel my subscription.
You know, I've never been a fan of reboots. I like the idea of a parallel world where things march on right alongside ours and removing the few attempts at changing things up in the past, I enjoy a long, storied continuity.
Superman and Lois Lane are iconic. It's one of those things that keeps gushy little losers like myself believing that true love can exist and two people can be fatefully perfect for each other. If big blue and Lo-La can't even find that joy that being with the one you love gives you, then what hope is there for those of us in the real world to believe in such things?
Besides, I think you could go the other way with the dynamic. Yes being married to Superman is a tough thing, but it's like being married to an ATF agent or soldier, as you said Bob. There's stress in that relationship but there's also a great deal of devotion. It makes for great drama if the right writers capitalized on it. Even Spidey and Mary Jane kinda used to make me smile every time something big would go down and he'd be on the verge of going out that window, probably to his death, both of them realizing that but MJ realizing that it's what a hero has to do. Then she'd say, "Go get 'em, Tiger."
Boy if I was a hero about to rush to in all probability a horrible, painful demise at the hands of some twisted, psychotic, super powered freakazoid, having the love of my life send me on my way with a "go get em tiger" would be more sustaining than any super power I had. I would fight that much harder, react that much smarter, risk everything and anything to win for my lady and return to her arms for some super powered love making after I heal up.
Superman and Lois Lane splitsville? SOunds like an excuse to retread the same old ground and you and I both know it won't last long. In short order they'll be falling in love all over again, and we'll be going through that whole cat-and-mouse thing that the past 6 seasons of Smallville already traipsed through.
Some things, I think, are better off left alone.
Well, I don't think it was a horrible thing for superman to get hitched, but i agree something should change because of it.
I see two main ways to do it:
A) Superman retires, happy little life with louis a while, meanwhile superbaddies pop out left and right, superman realizes this ain't gonna work so he breaks it off himself, maybe breaks himself off from humanity a bit.
B) Superman does the 90% of the time superheroing and louis gets right pissed about it, maybe breaks it off herself and he goes into depression mode a while.
Oooo, third one, no one would see this coming (sarcasm):
C) Louis dies, brutally. In the superhero's not allowed to have a happy little life mindset, he just gets punished pretty quick. Not so much if readers think he's not allowed, but in a universe like this with so many enemies and responsibilities, does he really think he can keep an ounce of normalcy.
Now I don't read comics, enjoy hearing such a synopsis from a knowledgeable source but I don't know jack about how it all went down canonically, but i certainly agree that the only difference being now superman occasionally kisses his wife goodbye in the morning is kinda silly.
Got to say i don't like the comic book episodes (because i don't like comic books), i prefer it when MOVIEbob talks about MOVIES.
That was a really good argument and Bob has actually succeeded in making me see the whole single Superman thing in a slightly less negative light, though it'll still be a while before I put my faith in DC again.
No. But it is partially their fault.
The comic book industry really is eating itself alive partly because of the comic book fan base. They're usually 30 something year old guys and up. And that fan base isn't really interested in new exciting ideas and looking for comics books that explore the protential of the medium. They're interested in reading about their favourite guys in tights they red about when they were kids. And they don't want anything to change.
Maybe. But they're dead.
Really the most stable couple in comics are Buddy Baker (Animal Man) and Ellen, simply because he has a status quo as a married man.
It's not an if situation, it is going to happen, though people really do have the wrong idea about comic book continuity. You don't need to have read every Batman book for the past 20 years to understand what's going on (Okay, you do if it's being written by Grant Morrison, but he's the only one, I swear)
Damn right, there are no words for how excited I am about Morrison's Action Comics. Usually I go to my LCS at about midday on new comics day, when AC#1 comes out I'm gonna be waiting outside the doors for the place to open.
There is no reason Spider-Man can't be married. Spider-Man's whole bit is that he just isn't capable of keeping people safe in any way. Not only are his powers so unimpressive that absolutely nothing comes easy to him, but he's all these personal responsibilities that he can't realistically ignore, things like school and career, and of course loved ones. Even without MJ he's still got Aunt May, although I suspect that once MJ's out of the picture the editors will affix the bullseye squarely on her. They'd probably even hold grudges against anyone who resisted them, even if it was the actual readers. It's been known to happen.
SBD, you may be on to something there: The only case in DC where a successor truly replaced his predecessor was Wally West, the soon to be written out of existence Flash. And it was only after Barry's death, his continued absence that he was able to build some support. So, to make a long lasting change they would need to get rid of the originals, or somehow separate them from the continuity, and go from there. It's sort of what Marvel did with May Parker and the MC2 line, that lived long beyond most people's expectations.
Themyscira Olympics, now premiering on Starz!
I really liked this episode, not so much for the details but for shining a light on the issue comics have with being extremely serialized on one hand and trying their hardest not to change on the other. I still don't know how they manage it, maybe all of the tight outfits have a mesmerizing quality that make us forget this dissonance.

Nevermind the 40 islands that makeup Turks and Caicos, I ventured to Providenciales for a few days to eat and drink my way around the island, for research purposes of course. One can't get a feel of any country if you're not giving into the local way of life, and that of course includes, food and more glorious food! Never far from premium wines, champanges and cocktails, Providenciales is the perfect place for island charm with distinct European and Western influences. Here are a few standout spots you should leave room for.
Da Conch Shack
Formerly owned by a man named Bugaloo, Da Conch Shack is a fair trek from Long Beach Bay and Grace Bay, the two more popular beaches on the island. The drive is absolutely worth it as the freshly caught conch is de-shelled, cleaned, marinated quickly and cooked to order. The must have is the conch fritter, delightly fluffy balls of fried dough peppered with chunks of fresh conch throughout. Other standout dishes included the cracked conch, fried much like oysters or shrimp, and served with fresh sauces. If you're into lime-soaked, slightly sweet and spicy ceviche, then the conch version will leave you satiated and ready for beer number two…or three. I'm not counting!
The Palms Turks and Caicos Known as the sister property to The Shore Club , the Palms features several well-known restaurants and a wordly sommelier who can turn even the most cautious of wine drinkers to lovers of the bottle. With masterful culinary artists in the kitchen, the dishes at Parallel23 are inventive, delicate and utterly delicious. No matter what you decide on for your meal, be it the local lobster thermidor, local grouper or their signature Ceasar salad, end things off with the amazing sticky toffee pudding. You'll thank me even if your waistband doesn't. Having a drink or few at L'Attitude Bar is a great way to spend your evening admiring the stars and enjoying the lively breeze.
SUI-REN at The Shore Club Turks and Caicos Here's the thing about Sui-Ren, you might not want to leave. Sushi so fresh paired with the delicious kick of Peruvian flavours and an ambiance made for romance, SUI-REN features an impressive selection of dishes to wow even the foodiest of foodies. Everything. I suggest you try everything as this is a unique opportunity to sample the gastronmic delights at the only Japanese restaurant on the island. If you had to force me to choose one item you had to try, oddly enough it's the vegetarian hand roll. I still can't get over how delicious it was!

"It's Us Against The World"
In the smoky fray of a Bangkok rush hour, Tim and Tina walk along one of the city's busiest roads, on their way to do a little grocery shopping with their son, D.J.
It's a grim task, navigating the crazy streets of the Thai capital, but the young family has the kind of steely resolve that's useful in these situations.
Why are they walking? It's not because they can't afford a car. Both Tim and Tina have well paying jobs, and could easily buy whatever vehicle they wanted. But they're trying to make a point by not being just another car-bound family slogging their way through Bangkok traffic in little air condition prisons. A point that, at this very moment, seems to be a bit hard-learned.
Bangkok's just tough that way. The heat and traffic jams and overall noise and chaos often combine to create a mind-blowing cocktail of sensory overload. But if you're able to learn to deal with it, and get through it, it kind of makes you a tougher person. If that's true, then little D.J. is going to be one tough little fellow -- just like his mom and dad.

"I don't care about getting the record, I just want to STOP"
Honey. Sweetie. Darling. I realize how much this dancing competition means to you. Really, I do. It's just that my feet are ACHING, and my head is SPINNING, we've been dancing for over four days now, and I'm basically about to pass out from exhaustion. Can we please stop dancing now?
OK, I admit, the dancing was pretty fun at first. All the people gathered round to watch us. All their cheers. The TV cameras. But sweetness, that was about 100 hours ago, and I've got some major blisters going on here, and not all of them are on my feet. So can we please stop dancing?
The worst part is, we're still only a little over halfway to the record. That couple from Mongolia who danced for 188 hours and 34 minutes back in 1964, I don't know what got into them. I bet they were on something. Although, they probably didn't drug test world record dance candidates back then, so who knows?

The new musical The Prom will take part in the WorldPride celebration, hosted in New York City in June. Broadway cast members will take the stage at the closing ceremony, set for June 30 in Times Square.
The show is itself a celebration of queerness and identity, following a teenage lesbian couple in Indiana who become the center of a media frenzy for wanting to attend a dance together. When a group of theatre eccentrics, fresh off a Broadway flop, catch wind of the scandal, they travel to the small town to take the high schoolers under their wing and into the spotlight.
Shortly after officially opening at the Longacre Theatre in November 2018, The Prom made headlines for showcasing the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade's first televised same-sex kiss. The musical features a spectrum of queer-themed numbers, from the ballad "Dance With You" to the facetiously earnest "The Acceptance Song" to the gospel-inspired "Love Thy Neighbor."
The show, penned by Chad Beguelin, Bob Martin, and Matthew Sklar, has gained the attention of the entertainment industry at large, with Ryan Murphy announcing a Netflix adaptation and Penguin Random House set to publish a young adult novel based on the musical.
READ: Broadway's The Prom to Be Adapted Into a Young Adult Novel
Also set to perform during the WorldPride Closing Ceremony are Jake Shears and Melissa Etheridge (both Broadway alums, having appeared in Kinky Boots and American Idiot, respectively).
The current Broadway company of The Prom includes Caitlin Kinnunen as Emma, with Isabelle McCalla as her girlfriend Alyssa, and Tony winner Beth Leavel as (fictional) Tony winner Dee Dee Allen, with Brooks Ashmanskas, Christopher Sieber, Josh Lamon, and Angie Schworer as her Broadway cohorts.

Rustom-2 Drones Set To Be Ready By 2020: DRDO Chief
Pune: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Friday said the Rustom-2 drone would be ready for use in two years.
Speaking on the sidelines of the convocation ceremony of the Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT) here on Friday, DRDO chairman S Christopher said the drone will be delivered to the Indian armed forces by 2020.
Rustom drones are medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). They are a part of India's Rs. 1,500 crore UAV project that will cater to the needs of the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force.
Rustom-2 is being developed on the lines of USA's predator drones. It will carry out surveillance and reconnaissance for the armed forces and has a 24-hour endurance cycle.
Christopher said Rustom-2 was successfully tested earlier this year at the Aeronautical Test Range in Karnataka's Chalakere.
"With the help of production partners Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) our endeavour now is to deliver the drone by 2020. As of now, we are evaluating its endurance capacity, which is 24 hours with all types of payload," he said.
A DRDO official said the army and navy together require 150 drones. "The United States and other western countries have for long used drones against their enemies. The US forces used UAVs against terrorist organisations in Afghanistan. Considering the security scenario in the north and northeastern regions of India, the army should be equipped with advanced drones," said a senior DRDO scientist.
"There is a growing demand for 'Akash', an all-weather, medium-range, surface-to-air missile from several countries," Christopher said, while declining to name the countries as "we are negotiating with them".
The Centre has allocated Rs. 18,000 crore to DRDO for the 2018-19 fiscal year. "The airborne early warning and control system (AWACS), stealth technology for unmanned combat aerial vehicle, indigenous technology for cruise missile, etc, are on top of our priority," he said.
"We are currently working on various artificial intelligence (AI) projects," said G Athithan, DRDO's director general for micro electronic devices and computational systems.
"High-altitude trials of the indigenously developed advanced towed artillery gun system was successful. More trials will be held at the Pokhran firing range," said Pravin Kumar Mehta, DRDO's director general for armament and combat engineering systems.

These Cherry Ripe Chocolate bars have been a long time coming. A reader of mine requested I made his favourite chocolate treat from back home (Australia). But being the high achiever that I am and wanting that extra bit of a challenge I thought I'd make them so that I could eat them too…oh, and other dairy free people too (how rude!).
I ordered a Cherry Ripe Chocolate bar from Amazon in the name of research and it's hands down the longest a chocolate bar as delicious as this has lasted in my company! Now I'm not typically a chocolate lover, I'm more of a gummy sweets and jelly beans kinda girl but you combine coconut and cherries and I'm in heaven.
The downside was that these bars are not cheap to purchase over here in the UK so as I say, I only bought one. This meant cutting the bar into as many tiny pieces possible so I could keep tasting it to see how my recipe development progressed. That's right ladies and gents; I ate a chocolate bar with milk in it so that I got the perfect match for flavour.
Now that is dedication…dedication and a swollen tummy to boot!
There were a few attempts and fails along the way, I say fails they all tasted lovely, but not quite the real thing. I did make the previous bars with an added few drops of red food colouring. For this final version I've actually opted to go for the au natural look and not added colouring. The Cadbury's Cherry Ripe Chocolate Bar does in fact have added colour and we do eat with our eyes so if your familiar with the bar and want the whole chocolatey experience you'll probably want to consider adding the colour, or close your eyes and eat it, I'm not going to judge you!
So here's the recipe, I hope I did the real thing justice Alexander?
Oh and while I think of it, if anyone else has a favourite they'd love me to attempt to recreate then feel free to drop a comment below or email me [email protected] and I'll give it my best shot, for example, I've also managed to create a gluten and dairy free Double Decker chocolate bar too
- 180 g glacé cherries
- 100 g desiccated coconut
- 80 g coconut flour
- 40 g condensed milk if making dairy free use natures charm or make your own – see notes
- 20 g coconut oil
- 3-4 tsp cherry flavouring I use a coffee syrup – link at bottom of page
- 250 g dark chocolate
- 1-2 drops of red food colouring (this is optional the original bar has added colour, my version is naturally a mid-pink so a little lighter
- If making your own condensed milk [see notes] you need to add 30mins boiling time and cooling time to the overall recipe timings.
- In a food processor add the glace cherries, coconut flour, condensed milk, coconut oil and cherry flavouring, blitz until combined.
- Scrape the sides of the processor and add the desiccated coconut (you want to keep the bits so don't blitz to a smooth paste) blitz for a few seconds at a time until thoroughly incorporated.
Line a small baking tray or rectangular dish with grease proof paper (I use a 1/4 sized baking tray, perfect for making 5 chocolate bars).
Spoon the cherry and coconut mixture into the tray and smooth down into all the corners evenly with the back of a spoon, this can get a bit sticky so I keep my spoon dipped in water.
Melt just under half of your chocolate and pour over the flattened cherry and coconut mix - this will be the bottom side of your Cherry Bliss Chocolate Bars. Pop into the fridge for 30mins or until the chocolate has set.
Once set remove from fridge and gently run a knife around the edged to free the block, turn out onto a flat surface and carefully cut into fifths.
Leave the bars to warm a little to room temperate (this will make adding the last lay of chocolate easier).
In the meantime melt the remaining chocolate and pour over each bar (one at a time) and using the back of a spoon or smooth side of a knife tease the chocolate to the edge of the bar to cover all your cherry and coconut filling.
Decorate the top with a swirl of your spoon or use a fork to create lines...it's entirely up to you.
Return to the fridge and chill until completely set.
Store in fridge to keep for longer, these will last for a couple of weeks - yeah right, they'll last an hour!
Notes… To make your own dairy free condensed milk simple add a 400g tin of coconut milk to 200g caster sugar in a saucepan (make sure you get a high coconut milk percentage, 65% and above works best) Stir over a medium heat until all the coconut lumps have dissolved and then turn the heat up to create a rapid/rolling boil. Boil for 25 minutes, don't leave unattended, you could end up with the liquid escaping all over your cooker. Pour into a jug and leave to cool, the condensed milk with continue to thicken as it cools. Once you have your condensed milk you can use it for several of my recipes including my three flavoured Bailey's recipes; original Bailey's, Chocolate and Orange Bailey's and Pumpkin Spice Bailey's
Don't forget it, pin it!

It's been widely reported that Charlotte Flair was sidelined for surgery to repair a ruptured breast implant. In a new interview, however, Flair revealed she actually busted both.
The multi-time women's champion sat down with Maria Menounos on SiriusXM radio Monday and discussed the injury, which she says began with pain behind her shoulder blade.
After getting a mammogram and ultrasound, doctors found free floating silicone due to the ruptured implants and said she needed to go under the knife.
"I got a lot of big things coming up. I knew I had Wrestlemania; I knew I had the body issue. I just wasn't going to say anything. Could I just wait? I finally got to have them redone a little over four weeks ago," Flair explained.
Unfortunately, in waiting to get the surgery done, the situation continued to deteriorate. "I got sick a few times — that may have been from it," Flair recalled. "The silicone got all the way in my armpit."
Charlotte revealed she's cleared to return to action on July 31 and plans to be back in the ring that night. The 32-year-old also said it's tough to come to the realization she's been sidelined for what she called "not a legitimate injury."
"I'm sitting out because of my tatas!"

Pre-PA Club raises money for cancer research during annual dodge ball event
UW-La Crosse students looking to enter the healthcare field will take another step to help patients with lung disease
Members of the pre-Physician Assistant Club, one of the largest student organizations on campus with 200 members, will hold its 10th annual dodge ball tournament fundraiser Saturday, March 30, called Catch-A-Cure. The event runs from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. in Mitchell Hall.
Since starting nine years ago, Catch-A-Cure has raised $18,846 for lung cancer research through the Gundersen Medical Foundation.
The club helps students determine if a PA career path is right for them and helps prepare students for applying to PA school. It also offers students many volunteer opportunities and leadership positions. Currently the club has 200 members ranging from freshmen to fifth-year seniors.
Many students have come to the club knowing little about the PA profession and realize through interacting with club members and guest PAs and PA students that this is the career path for them. Other students come to campus knowing that they want to be PAs and getting involved in the pre-PA club allows them to connect with other students with the same goal.
Karen Graham, professor of the UWL-Gundersen-Mayo PA Program, is the group's adviser. Margaret Rynkiewicz is the club president.

I can't believe summer vacation is ending this week (well at least for me!). Work starts again on Wednesday, but I will be meeting with other SLPs on Tuesday to go over some things so REALLY my last day is tomorrow. :( I've packed in a hair appointment and hoping to get the oil changed on my car as last minute t0-do's. Time this summer has flown by! I am not sure if it is because of JW's knee injury, adding a new baby, or just time going by faster as I get older. I feel like there were so many projects I wanted to get done but procrastinated on. I still have between 10-15 lbs to lose before I feel better about myself and can fit in my Fall pants for work. Didn't exercise enough, didn't get my pictures in albums, didn't go on any vacations, didn't get my clothes sorted and organized... lots of didn'ts.
BUT we did have 5 months at home as a family. We did spend countless time swinging, playing soccer, and fishing with Luke. We did spend hours and hours (more like days!) holding Charlotte and cuddling her. We did eat wayyyy too many bowls of ice cream. We did get to catch up with some great friends. We did share fun cookouts and zoo trips with family & friends.
JW will be staying at home with the kids for now while he is laid off. Please pray for him... haha... no seriously... we may need to start praying now! ;) He doesn't think he is cut out for the stay-at-home-dad thing but he has gotten a lot of good practice this summer! I start to feel choked up and get teary eyed when I think about being gone every day for hours and hours... but I know it will be okay. I will adjust to the new routine and schedule and so will the kids. I'm going to try to have fun and enjoy these next few days and not get too stressed about going back to work!
Oh, did I mention we bought a pool at Aldi's for $24.99?? It cost our guests more than that to feed their family of 5 at Subway before heading to our house. It definately lived up to the money spent today! We had 2 adults and 4 children in it at the same time, playing and having a blast. It was so humid and hot today, it was a lifesaver!

Climate Changing, U.S. Says in Report
The New York Times, June 3, 2002
In a stark shift for the Bush administration, the United States has sent a climate report to the United Nations detailing specific and far-reaching effects that it says global warming will inflict on the American environment.
In the report, the administration for the first time mostly blames human actions for recent global warming. It says the main culprit is the burning of fossil fuels that send heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
But while the report says the United States will be substantially changed in the next few decades — "very likely" seeing the disruption of snow-fed water supplies, more stifling heat waves and the permanent disappearance of Rocky Mountain meadows and coastal marshes, for example — it does not propose any major shift in the administration's policy on greenhouse gases.
It recommends adapting to inevitable changes. It does not recommend making rapid reductions in greenhouse gases to limit warming, the approach favored by many environmental groups and countries that have accepted the Kyoto Protocol, a climate treaty written in the Clinton administration that was rejected by Mr. Bush.
The new document, "U.S. Climate Action Report 2002," strongly concludes that no matter what is done to cut emissions in the future, nothing can be done about the environmental consequences of several decades' worth of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases already in the atmosphere.
Its emphasis on adapting to the inevitable fits in neatly with the climate plan Mr. Bush announced in February. He called for voluntary measures that would allow gas emissions to continue to rise, with the goal of slowing the rate of growth.
Yet the new report's predictions present a sharp contrast to previous statements on climate change by the administration, which has always spoken in generalities and emphasized the need for much more research to resolve scientific questions.
The report, in fact, puts a substantial distance between the administration and companies that produce or, like automakers, depend on fossil fuels. Many companies and trade groups have continued to run publicity and lobbying campaigns questioning the validity of the science pointing to damaging results of global warming.
The distancing could be an effort to rebuild Mr. Bush's environmental credentials after a bruising stretch of defeats on stances that favor energy production over conservation, notably the failure to win a Senate vote opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to exploratory oil drilling.
But the report has alienated environmentalists, too. Late last week, after it was posted on the Web site of the Environmental Protection Agency, private environmental groups pounced on it, saying it pointed to a jarring disconnect between the administration's findings on the climate problem and its proposed solutions.
"The Bush administration now admits that global warming will change America's most unique wild places and wildlife forever," said Mark Van Putten, the president of the National Wildlife Federation, a private environmental group. "How can it acknowledge global warming is a disaster in the making and then refuse to help solve the problem, especially when solutions are so clear?"
Scott McClellan, a White House spokesman, said, "It is important to move forward on the president's strategies for addressing the challenge of climate change, and that's what we're continuing to do."
Many companies and trade groups had sought last year to tone down parts of the report, the third prepared by the United States under the requirements of a 1992 climate treaty but the first under President Bush.
For the most part, the document does not reflect industry's wishes, which were conveyed in letters during a period of public comment on a draft last year.
The report emphasizes that global warming carries potential benefits for the nation, including increased agricultural and forest growth from longer growing seasons, and from more rainfall and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
But it says environmental havoc is coming as well. "Some of the goods and services lost through the disappearance or fragmentation of natural ecosystems are likely to be costly or impossible to replace," the report says.
The report also warns of the substantial disruption of snow-fed water supplies, the loss of coastal and mountain ecosystems and more frequent heat waves. "A few ecosystems, such as alpine meadows in the Rocky Mountains and some barrier islands, are likely to disappear entirely in some areas," it says. "Other ecosystems, such as Southeastern forests, are likely to experience major species shifts or break up into a mosaic of grasslands, woodlands and forests."
Despite arguments by oil industry groups that the evidence is not yet clear, the report unambiguously states that humans are the likely cause of most of the recent warming. Phrases were adopted wholesale from a National Academy of Sciences climate study, which was requested last spring by the White House and concluded that the warming was a serious problem.
A government official familiar with the new report said that it had been under review at the White House from January until mid-April, but that few substantive changes were made.
Without a news release or announcement, the new report was shipped last week to the United Nations offices that administer the treaty and posted on the Web (www.epa .gov/globalwarming/publications/car/).
A senior administration official involved in climate policy played down the significance of the report, explaining that policies on emissions or international treaties would not change as a result.
Global warming has become a significant, if second-tier, political issue recently, particularly since James M. Jeffords, the Vermont independent, became chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee last year. Mr. Jeffords has criticized the president's policy.
The new report is the latest in a series on greenhouse gases, climate research, energy policies and related matters that are required of signatories to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which was signed by Mr. Bush's father and ratified by the Senate.
The convention lacks binding obligations to reduce gas emissions like those in the Kyoto Protocol.
Mr. Bush and administration officials had previously been careful to avoid specifics and couch their views on coming climate shifts with substantial caveats. The president and his aides often described climate change as a "serious issue," but rarely as a serious problem.
The report contains some caveats of its own, but states that the warming trend has been under way for several decades and is likely to continue.
"Because of the momentum in the climate system and natural climate variability, adapting to a changing climate is inevitable," the report says. "The question is whether we adapt poorly or well."
Several industry groups said the qualifications in parts of the report were welcome, but added that the overall message was still more dire than the facts justified and would confuse policy makers.
Dr. Russell O. Jones, a senior economist for the American Petroleum Institute who wrote a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency a year ago seeking to purge projections of specific environmental impacts from the report, said it was "frustrating" to see that they remained.
"Adding the caveats is useful, but the results are still as meaningless," Dr. Jones said.
Bush: Global climate report is bureaucratic hot air
Planetark.org, June 5, 2002
WASHINGTON - President George W. Bush yesterday called a recent report that blames humans for global warming nothing more than a product of government "bureaucracy" and said he would not accept an international accord to reduce heating-trapping emissions.
The report by the Environmental Protection Agency, whose top officials are appointed by the president, appeared to back the view of many scientists who believe that global warming is primarily caused by emissions from automobiles, power plants, and oil refineries.
Until the new report became public, the Bush administration had repeatedly emphasized that there was not enough scientific evidence to link global warming to industrial emissions. President Bush indicated yesterday he was skeptical of the report's conclusions.
"I read the report put out by the bureaucracy," Bush told reporters. Instead, Bush said he would continue to push voluntary efforts and financial incentives for U.S. companies to use new technologies to reduce their emissions.
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer later told reporters that there remained "considerable uncertainty" on the scientific causes of global warming.
A spokeswoman for the EPA had no immediate comment.
Gases such as carbon dioxide and methane are blamed for rising temperatures and changing weather patterns around the world.
Bush repeated his opposition to the Kyoto treaty, which seeks to reduce worldwide atmospheric warming emissions, especially from industrialized countries.
"I do not support the Kyoto treaty," said Bush, a former Texas oilman. "The Kyoto treaty would severely damage the United States economy, and I don't accept that."
Meanwhile, Japan yesterday became the latest country to ratify the global warming agreement and said it would urge the United States to do the same.
"The Kyoto treaty is an important international step toward climate change. I very much hope that other countries will join as soon possible," said Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.
Some 55 nations producing 55 percent of the world's carbon dioxide emissions must ratify the pact before it becomes binding. Russia is widely expected to adopt the Kyoto plan by the end of the year.
The European Union has also adopted the treaty, and has criticized the United States - the world's biggest energy consumer and emission polluter - for not doing more to fight global warming.
The new report was quietly released last week by the EPA and sent to the United Nations by the U.S. State Department.
The document said that "greenhouse gases are accumulating in the Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing global mean surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise."
Total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions will increase 43 percent between 2000 and 2020, the report said.
The EPA is headed by Christine Todd Whitman, the former New Jersey governor who has cabinet rank.
One year ago, Whitman endorsed limits on carbon dioxide emissions by electric generating plants just before Bush declared he would not seek mandatory cuts by the industry.

The sudden, unexpected death of Alan "Bruno" Brunacini Sunday hit me like a ton of bricks as I am sure it did many of my colleagues in EMS and the fire service. He was one of those bigger than life leaders that you thought would live forever.
He presented the eulogy at the funeral of James O. Page, the founder of JEMS and one of his closest friends. He made us laugh at a time when we all wanted to cry. He showed us hope at a time of great despair, when we thought our world was hopelessly changed and empty. He told us that life must go on, and it will go on, because of the legacy Jim left behind and the principles he taught us.
As I reflect on Bruno's death, I again have faith that we'll be able to go on.
Friends and Mentors
I grew up admiring both Bruno and Jim. I never thought that either of them would become a friend and a mentor. The truth is, Jim and Bruno mentored anyone who was willing to be mentored.
They were both passionate about the same things: Safe, effective and efficient fire service operations and administration; high quality, professional EMS in the fire service—performed enthusiastically and as a major part of the job; doing whatever it took to meet the needs of the "customer," even if it meant boarding up windows, replacing door locks that had been forced open to care for them, or cooking them a meal; and, perhaps most important, being fully transparent with elected officials and the public about the men and women who worked for them.
Both always acknowledged their errors and detailed them in professional journals like Fire Engineering and JEMS, where they would discuss what they were going to do to make sure outdated procedures were changed so that a specific tactical error never happened again.
Incident Command Innovations
Bruno, the former chief of the Phoenix Fire Department, invented and improved upon countless aspects of our work.
Before Bruno, you rarely found a command officer in a fixed position—let alone at a designated, announced command post location.
As a young EMS director in Eastern Pennsylvania and the son of a fire captain, I knew how disorganized scenes could be. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, chiefs and company officers typically roamed the fire and rescue perimeter with a radio in their hand, and, quite often, they entered burning structures to direct attack operations.
Bruno changed all that. He presented rational reasons why there needed to be a fixed Incident Command post location and then demanded that it be implemented in his department. His vision and persistence changed countless lives.
For many departments and federal government officials, the fateful and deadly events of 9/11 drove them to undertstand the need for a national, structured incident command system. However, those of us who respected and followed Bruno had known about and practiced Incident Command since 1980.
Alan Brunacini's epic 1985 textbook Fire Command
Before Bruno, there were very few departments that deployed designated safety officers at scenes. There were no "two-in, two-out" safety backup teams, hit or miss air pack use and there certainly wasn't any rehab for firefighters or other providers who worked under extreme conditions for extended periods of time. His epic 1985 book Fire Command sits front and center on my bookshelf because it was the bible for Incident Command.
Bruno's Pearls of Wisdom
Early in my career, long before video series and internet offerings, I traveled great distances to hear the words of Alan Brunacini and experience the magic of his teaching, his personality and his humor. I often went to Bruno's incident command and rehab sessions multiple times because he always added new pearls and techniques that I would pass along to anyone who would listen.
There's rarely a day that goes by that I don't pick up his famous palm-sized Timeless Tactical Truths book to read, re-learn and laugh at the pearls of wisdom that he jotted down on napkins throughout his career.
Alan Brunacini's palm-sized Timeless Tactical Truths
A sample pearl of wisdom from Alan Brunacini's Timeless Tactical Truths
As the son of a "B-Shifter," I knew exactly what Bruno meant when he talked about the differences between the A, B, and C shifts. Bruno illustrated each shift's unique personality, learning style and humor. More importantly, he taught us the common qualities that all responders possesed—and that needed to be leveraged in our organizations.
He once said, "Your people can dance to different drummers, but they all have to answer to the orchestra leader!"
I related to his stories about "Mongo," character he always wove into his presentations. Bruno said that there was always a Mongo on every shift. Mongo was the guy or girl who had to do things the basic, barbaric way: Ripping off car doors with their bare hands before the hydraulic tool was out of the compartment "just because."
Following the teachings and principles of Alan Brunacini helped me and hundreds of other followers make advancements our own departments. Usually, if I raised an idea, I was "just A.J." presenting the concept. However, if I showed the board and my fellow officers how and why Bruno and the Phoenix Fire Department did it, people listened.
You see, Bruno had the ultimate "Street Cred."
Re-Purposing an MICU
In 1989, I convinced my progressive colleagues at Bethlehem Township (Pa.) Volunteer Fire Company that we needed to keep and refurbish our 1975 GMC Motorhome (Transmode) MICU into a combined MICU, command and rehab unit.
With the blessing of Bruno and the Phoenix Fire Department, my plans mirrored theirs. I added radios and a rooftop, colored, remote-controlled camera linked to a video recorder/display; piped oxygen to small, outside cabinet positioned under a retractable awning and added extensive MCI supplies to the MICU.
I remember seeing his state-of-the-art rehab vehicle in the 80s and asking him why it had such a large exhaust fan in the ceiling. With his Yogi Berra face and smile, he said, "Have you ever seen what our firefighters eat?" Enough said, Bruno.
The Bruno-inspired BTVFC MICU-Command-REH unit.
Interior of the Bruno-Inspired BTVFC MICU-Command-REHAB unit.
Many years after my department sold the Unit 247 and it fell victim to time and modifications by two other owners, I found and purchased the unit, and I will take possession of it in November.
Like the "Enola Gay," the famed bomber that changed the course of history, I decided this morning to name my new vehicle "Bruno" in his honor. It's much better than "The God Awful Thing," which was the name that my wife and Jim Page's wife gave to my 7,200-pound Cadillac ambulance!
The JEMS & Phoenix Fire Department Philosophy
For those who never met Alan Brunacini or Jim Page, perhaps the best way to understand both is to understand the common philosophy they shared about people and their organizations. Developed by Bruno and the Phoenix Fire Department (PFD), and adapted for JEMS by Jim Page and Keith Griffiths, "The PFD Way" is one of the best.
The philosophy describes the way people should perform, behave, treat each other and interact, no matter what role they play within the organization. Some of the pearls of The JEMS Philosophy are:
- The pathway to success for JEMS has been paved by steady vision, honesty, the hard work of dedicated and creative people and the response of thousands of loyal customers.
- Traditionally people have been attracted to careers at JEMS because of our reputation as an exciting, dynamic source of excellence. We're committed to excellence internally and externally.
- We're a close-knit team and proud of it. … The expectations and ideals this document articulates are based on the fundamental principle that our members (employees) are the foundation of the organization.
- We're comprised of people who have been selectively chosen for their respective roles and every member has to want to belong. If individuals choose to belong to the JEMS organization, there are expectations and standards of behavior that are not optional.
- Being a member of the JEMS team is more than just a job. It includes a commitment to other JEMS members and to the people we serve (our customers).
- Personal respect and individual integrity are essential ingredients of a positive, unified work environment and a healthy organization.
- Loyalty is easy during good times but is severely tested during difficult times.
- Our personnel are not just employees. We're members. To be an exceptional team, members must take care of each other. The organization can't do much better outside with our customers than we do inside with each other.
- Leadership is critical in maintaining the high standards of performance and the positive image that our customers have come to expect from us. Leaders are always setting an example, whether intending to or not.
- Organizational imperfections will always exist at JEMS. In fact, sometimes they can provide the clues we need to direct change and create improvements in what we do. Life is not perfect, and neither is JEMS.
- It's critical to remember that to be an exceptional team, everyone must take care of everyone else. Being nice to one another is absolutely required to sustain the level and quality of products and services that our customers expect and deserve.
- Living this philosophy isn't easy. As a matter of fact, it's extremely difficult and requires constant, conscious effort on the part of all of us, each and every day.
Alan Brunacini was a "teddy bear." We all respected him because we knew he walked the walk and could, if necessary, be as ferocious as a bear. But 99% of the time, his teachings, his brilliance, his personality and his humor made those of us who knew and loved him just want to go up and hug him.
Read "The Phoenix Way" and consider adopting it for your department. It's timeless, as is Alan "Bruno" Brunacini. RIP Chief!

A MAN, accused of robbing another man of his cellphone at gunpoint, was unanimously acquitted yesterday by a Supreme Court jury of the three charges he faced.
Dominic Stuart faced a charge each of armed robbery, receiving and possession of a firearm with intent to commit an offence when standing trial before Justice Carolita Bethell.
Thomas Saunders, the complainant in the November 16, 2012 case, testified that he was going home in the Cable Beach area around 10.15pm when he saw two men standing not far from his apartment. He noted that the taller of the two was on the phone while the other approached and pulled out a firearm before snatching his cellphone.
Saunders attempted to take the gun from the man, but was not able to and the men fled.
Police witnesses testified to arresting the three accused the following day at Potters Cay Dock around 2am, where they discovered an imitation firearm and BlackBerry cellphone in McKenzie's pocket. Stuart was in a car at the time of the arrest, but officers said they found nothing on him.
In cross-examination, it was revealed that the phone was never identified as belonging to the complainant and it was submitted that the imitation firearm could not be linked to any firearm.
On Monday, his co-accused, Akado Gibson and Stephen McKenzie were acquitted of their involvement in the incident at the direction of the court after legal discussions were held in the jury's absence.
Gibson and McKenzie were defended by Murrio Ducille while Stuart was represented by Terrel Butler. Uel Johnson and Raquel Whyms prosecuted for the Crown.

Ever looked the window during the night and discover yourself looking in the world, wondering what's available online for? This is a common question among people because the beginning of your time, since civilization first existed. In the Nubian Monuments towards the Egyptian Monuments and Stonehenge, they are archaeological proof in the past that astronomical research has been a typical interest among mankind through the ages.
Astronomy basically may be the science of studying objects and phenomena wide, i.e. anything outdoors our planet's atmosphere.
Until telescopes came to be within the 17th century, astronomy as you may know was restricted to just searching up in to the sky with this naked eyes. Because the invention of telescopes, Astronomy has splintered off into another field of study which studies more descriptive the physics of celestial objects systems, Astrophysics. Astronomy and Astrophysics are basically intertwined because one cannot exist with no other thus that has brought to big strides within the Astronomy field.
A history of Astronomy
Astronomy may be the endless study in our world, or Multi-verse with respect to the physicist, and each celestial object inside it. Adversely, including planets, asteroids, comets, stars, gas formations, black holes, along with other galaxies. Astronomy is frequently wrongly identified as Zodiac, the thought that humans are in some way interconnected using the alignment of stars. Even though the origins of these two research is carefully related, the particular subjects are not even close to exactly the same. Astronomy is much more carefully related to Astrophysics. While astronomy studies derive from the invention and movement of celestial physiques, Astrophysics focuses more about study regarding the event, formations, and chemistry from the known world. Without astronomers, the astrophysicists will not have new breakthroughs to review and with no astrophysicists, the astronomers might have no motivation to help keep searching towards the skies. The 2 sciences practically rely on one another.
It's thought that in earlier civilizations structures for example Stonehenge were built to be able to anticipate the altering from the seasons. In line with the positioning of certain objects within the sky's alignment using the immovable structure, the folks knows when the optimum time ended up being to plant or harvest crops. A lot more advancements were created in the area of Astronomy when telescopes came to be. The scientific revolution started when brilliant minds for example Nicolaus Copernicus, Johannes Kepler, and Galileo Galilei started searching towards the skies during the renaissance. Been with them not been on their behalf and Issac Newton's law of gravitation, the significant understanding from the world we've today wouldn't exist. Newton also invented the 17th century option to the refracting telescope, the reflecting telescope. Because the refined work of those early astronomers and astrophysicists, we've been in a position to prove our planet is within its very own number of stars which is simply one star system in our personal Milky Way universe. Also, within the twentieth century the universal expansion was proven combined with the broadly backed theories of cosmically exotic objects for example black holes and neutron stars. Go forward towards the twenty-first century and the concept of Astronomy is alive and kicking more than ever before.With the aid of the effective Hubble space telescope, which lately discovered a brand new water filled planet just 40 many years off to the job from the astrophysicist striving to comprehending the incredible subject that's the world, I probably have Astronomy will still be of curiosity for the time being and also the near future, intriguing my generation and also the future our children and grandchildren, as well as too that it's additionally a fantastic hobby that is continues to be throughout my existence, from childhood to their adult years.

1. Don't stress yourself with useless people who don't even deserve to be an issue in your life.
2. Never invest too much emotion at one thing because if you do, you'll end up hurting yourself.
3. Learn to live life without worries because God will make a way for everything.

This is very true, realistic, and applicable to everyone of us because most of the time, other people make us feel sick. There are times when we can't live our life as it should be because we can't let go of the things and people in our past. And of course, constantly worrying about the situations limits us from enjoying our life. Thanks to my friend who sent this meaningful text message to me on the first day of 2012.

Laura Jane Clark is currently on BBC2's innovative homes show Your Home Made Perfect in which the latest virtual reality technology enables homeowners to 'see' potential renovations before they commit to building. Here, she shares some of her other projects, and her thoughts on reclaiming, re-use and upcycling.
Words: Emma Howarth; Images © James Balston
Laura Clark has got a problem: 'I fall in love with everything,' she says. 'I'm basically the worst property developer ever because I can never bear to sell the end result.' The Glasgow School of Art-trained architect is talking about two of her best-known projects – the conversion of a derelict underground public loo in Crystal Palace (as seen, alongside her transformative architectural work, on Channel 4's Ugly House to Lovely House with George Clarke) into a one-bedroom flat and her more recent renovation of a repossessed Glasgow tenement – both labours of love that no amount of brick dust or tricky planning meetings has been able to fade. 'I enjoy the challenge of very small-scale development,' she explains from her practice, Lamp Architects' loft studio at Cooper's Yard, close to the site of those transformed toilets. 'And because they were both personal projects, I was also able to focus on making them really positive examples of regeneration. After all, that's what 'developing' is meant to mean; it's meant to be about improving things.'
This has certainly been the case in Crystal Palace, where smart limestone render on the formerly graffiti-covered public convenience has smartened up the street view, inspiring the café across the road to make some improvements of its own. 'I loved seeing that,' says Laura. 'I think less focus on the bottom line, more focus on community is really important to regeneration. You've got to strike a balance, obviously, but developers need to make sure they do the right thing.'
'… that's what 'developing' is meant to mean; it's meant to be about improving things.'
This sense of responsibility doesn't just pervade the regeneration side of Laura's work, either. She is as committed to preserving the history and character of the buildings she works with as she is to ensuring their community impact is a positive one. So a weather-worn, decades-old (the original WCs were completed in 1929) mirror from the ladies' loos was painstakingly preserved for use as part of a drinks cabinet in the subterranean Crystal Palace flat. And when wallpaper was stripped back in the tenement regeneration to reveal the original plaster stained walls beneath, Laura knew she just had to keep them in situ: 'They were this beautiful dark red colour with amazing filigree stencil patterns on them; the texture is just beautiful. I love the contrast with the new grey-painted walls and contemporary glossy red kitchen.'
For Laura, reclamation is not simply a case of carefully preserving historical features and adding a few vintage fittings to the end result. She loves to repurpose reclaimed materials so that their look and function becomes completely different to their original form. 'I'm not a massive fan of the kind of upcycling that really reveals its origins,' she says. 'To me that's kind of lazy. I like getting right back to what a material actually is, what it does, what its best features are, really stripping it back to basics and then completely repurposing it.'
It is indeed hard to imagine the industrial-style light in the tenement's kitchen was once the building's copper water tank, or that the bathroom's slatted teak floor started life many miles away from Scotland in a Bristol gym. 'We had this beautiful reclaimed teak floor but I didn't want to just put it back down like decking. My idea was to strip it back, take all the old nails out and use it end-on to really express the grain,' she says. The finished result – no joins, no seams, just beautifully finished teak set against dark-stained ply walls – is stunning. 'Of course,' she adds, 'doing it this way is a lot more work.'
Fortunately, work is something Laura isn't afraid of. That reclaimed teak was the result of a couple of days' hard labour helping a builder friend strip out the gym floor. And when the going got tough in Crystal Palace and she couldn't find builders willing to stay for more than a few days at a time, she put years of summer jobs labouring on building sites to good use and rolled up her sleeves herself. 'For any architect, or property developer for that matter, understanding building sites is so important,' Laura explains. 'I learnt so much from those summers spent on site, skills that mean I can get stuck in myself when I need to but, more importantly, total respect for the building trade. It's seriously hard work.'
'For any architect, or property developer for that matter, understanding building sites is so important.'
This site experience and ability to build excellent relationships with builders enables Laura to achieve impressive, bespoke results for herself and her clients even when budgets don't stretch to high-end materials. Anyone who witnessed her find beauty in the Ugly House to Lovely House Watford property, exposing the brick behind the fireplace and turning a pile of plywood into a beautifully stained parquet-style floor couldn't fail to be impressed with her resourcefulness and vision. And now, on Your Home Made Perfect, Laura finds the essence of a home and its owners' real lives to create a practical, liveable space with the 'wow' factor. Indeed, the phone hasn't stopped ringing with new clients keen to put her imagination, ethos and budget-stretching ideas into practice.
