Hard News: Satire's shooting star, in reply to 81stcolumn,

I think it relies on the reader considering another's point of view and regrettably I see people either do or they do not and developing such consideration usually involves an event to someone already known. One if it changes one person's mind then good.

Hard News: Key Questions, in reply to DexterX,

GCSB hasn't been trending on either Herald or Fairfax sites since the story broke. I suspect another mess that won't alter Key's rating by a mote jot.

Fans and retailers aren't the only people upset that DC has hired very vocal gay rights denier Orson Scott Card to write the digital-first Adventures of Superman comic; artist Chris Sprouse, who was due to illustrate Card's take specifically, has just quit the book due to the controversy. Sprouse gave a statement earlier today:
"It took a lot of thought to come to this conclusion, but I've decided to step back as the artist on this story. The media surrounding this story reached the point where it took away from the actual work, and that's something I wasn't comfortable with. My relationship with DC Comics remains as strong as ever and I look forward to my next project with them."

Stairs are often learning issues for dogs Jackie. Of course you know Ruby best (my loss) but there is something about the different levels and dog walk styles not mixing automatically. Love the affection reward when successful.

Several speakers from past Voyage presentations wrote pieces included in the Speaker Archive May/June last year althuogh I would add they've been great communicators and no prescribed text reading is entirely necessary.
