The 99: The Beginnings
free digital issue via ComiXology.com

"The 99" is a comicbook created by Naif Al-Mutawa, a Kuwaiti psychologist and entrepreneur, about a team of superheroes who's powers stem from the ancient Abbasid Empire. Released in 2006, Al-Mutawa's motivation to create the comic was the lack of positive influence and role-models for his sons. His comic has inspired an animation and even a crossover with the Justice League of America.



The term "99" comes from the 99 attributes of Allah. There are 99 super-powered beings in "the 99". Characters include Jabbar the Powerful, a teen with massive strength, Nor The Light, a girl with telepathic powers.

In direct contrast to "The Infatada Album", a sticker book marketed to children full of bloody images of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, made to fuel conflict and anger; "The 99's" social angle is to provide positive influence to the the Islamic community and the next generation of Islamic children; teaching tolerance and giving them heroes to believe in.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "Skeletons" music video Directed by Barney Clay

Yeah Yeah Yeah's song "Skeletons", beautifully directed by director Barney Clay. The hazy black-and-white imagery, inspired by artist Tony Oursler's projection of images onto smoke, perfectly matches the feel and tone of the song, when imbued with Karen O's dancing movements that were inspired by the dance routines of modern dance pioneer Loie Fuller. The end product is a dreamlike experience of both visual and audio proportions.

Conan weds same sex couple

Longtime Conan costume designer Scott Cronick and partner David Gorshein were married by none other than Conan O'Brian himself on stage of the set of Conan. Pushing the boundaries and setting a milestone for LGBT everywhere, hopefully sets precedent for the future and things to come.

If you can't occupy Wall Street, keep Wall Street occupied

YouTuber ransackedroom has come up with an ingenious way to support remotely the occupy wall street protests and get banks attention by using something free and abundant and most probably already available to you.

By using the return envelope that comes within unsolicited credit card offers, people can start a dialogue with the banks. As noted, ransackedroom points out the financial cost the banks would incur by tons of return letter sent back to them is a nice side-effect, but the real point is to force banks to react to the public's voice and demands.

"This isn’t really about running up the postage bill on the big banks, although that’s a nice side effect. The real effect of this is to force banks to react to us.

If they start getting hundreds and thousands of weird responses to their credit card applications, well they’re going to have to have meetings. They going to have to develop new procedures and every hour banks spend reacting to us is an hour banks don’t spend lobbying Congress on how to screw us. It’s an hour banks don’t spend foreclosing on our houses.

So I think that that’s progress."

"The last partial solar eclipse of 2011 will occur on November 25, 2011. This eclipse will be the last of the four partial solar eclipses in 2011 that occur throughout the year" timeanddate.com

"Mercury is in a shocking state, being in his detriment, peregrine and moving retrograde. As Mercury is generally thought to represent merchants, bankers and trade, it is not hard to come to an obvious conclusion. Looking back at William Lilly’s prediction that the eclipse will trigger “most dangerous seditions amongst men, and renders men’s minds averse to all manner of accommodations or Treaties” makes it all the more likely that we can expect some sort of upheaval or disturbance." starsandstones

"This eclipse will be visible across Antarctica in its summer 24 hour day sunlight, and New Zealand near sunset with less than 20% of the sun obscured. Parts of the western Antarctic Peninsula will experience nearly 90% obscuration of the sun." Solar_eclipse_of_November_25,_2011 via wikipedia

"keywords: to go against society; out of the mainstream--this is VP Joe Biden's natal Midheaven (MC) degree/star; our VP is an avowed 'Zionist' and seems to be proud to acknowledge it. Does a Zionist stance in America 'go against society'? I believe it does for those who desire a sovereign America that doesn't spend all its money on war while we-the-people go without the basics of life as our society crumbles around our ears. If the power elite's plan wasn't clear http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifbefore 2011, it should be now, even to the politically apathetic." Stars Over Washington
