SCENE ONE, Peter's House, 1:00 AM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter woke up in bed, in shock... This happens right after the last comic.
Peter: *gasp*... Was that a dream?!
Peter's brain: Couldn't be... It felt so real... Is Gwen really dead?
Peter looked down at himself, and saw he was wearing his Spider-Man getup...
Peter's brain: Did I fall asleep in the suit?
Peter heard a voice call out to him...
Voice: I put it on you.
Peter: What the? Who's there?
A drawer next to Peter's bed opened, as a red and black symbiote came out of it...
Peter: Are... you that guy I fought last week? And IS Gwen actually dead?!
Symbiote: No and no. Not yet, for the second question. You fought someone calling themselves Carnage... I used to be Venom, part of Venom anyway. I was part of your black suit, and I managed to find you. Now that Venom is taken, you can call me Toxin.
Peter: O-Okay? What do you mean not yet?
Toxin: I'm simply warning you for what I know will happen... Maybe not exactly, but my species is cursed with vague knowledge of coming events. So I had to fill in the gaps myself... We'll see what happens together.
Peter: Why did you have to show me something so horrific?! That is emotionally scaring stuff.
Toxin: Well, we're not exactly friends. I want to turn you into one of us, look at how similar we look...
Toxin jumped from the drawer...
Toxin: We're practically different sides of the same coin. You on your side, and me and all your other demons on the other... Me, Venom, Carnage... Sandman, Rhino, Electro, Shocker... Doctor Octopus.
Peter: Why are you telling me this? How does this effect me?
Toxin: I can't say, exactly. I'm just saying be on the look out, and maybe your friend will pass. Something to think about.
Peter: What do you mean "you can't say"? Who's stopping you?!
Toxin moved their hand up with a finger, signifying telling Peter to stop talking...
Toxin: Not a who, but a what. My species thrived on death, if I told you exactly how to stop one? I'd be the one being killed.
Peter: Okay, and why would that be worse than my friend dying?
Toxin: Heh heh heh... You seriously think that I'd sacrifice myself for some random humans life?
Peter: Dude, you had the guts to show me my friend killing herself! Why do you have to be so selfish?
Toxin: ...
Toxin threw a punch at Spider-Man, but he blocked it.
Peter: ...Seriously?
Toxin: Less talking, more fighting.
Peter threw his fist at Toxin's stomach, which was a direct hit! Toxin flew back, but then charged forward, and punched Spider-Man in the jaw! Spider-Man used his webs to pull Toxin to the ground, but he got up right after. Spider-Man tried to kick Toxin, but he dodged it. Toxin then cut threw the chest of Spider-Mans costume with his claws! Spider-Man used his webs to swing from the ceiling and kick Toxin in the chest, knocking him back onto the ground!
Toxin: *uff*..!
Peter, arms crossed: You done yet?
Toxin: Do you think that's enough to save Stacy?
Toxin, still on the ground, kicked Peter's ankles and knocked him down! Toxin got back up, and stomped on Spider-Man's chest!
Peter: Ach!
Spider-Man got back up, and punched Toxin in the face! Toxin grabbed his jaw...
Toxin: Ugh... G-...Getting better..!
Spider-Man slid in between Toxin's legs, got up behind him, kicked him in the back, and knocked him down!
Toxin: *uff*! Nice work!
Peter: Thanks. Also your welcome for going easy on you.
Toxin: Heh... S-Sure you are.
Toxin got up, and tried to kick Peter in the chest! He dodged it, grabbed Toxin's leg, and pulled him back down!
Toxin: Ach!
Peter: Am I ready yet?
Toxin: N-...Not quite...
Toxin got back up one more time, but Spider-Man fired their webs at Toxins face as soon as he did, grabbed him by the foot, swung him around his bedroom, and threw him out the open window!
Toxin: Aghh!!!
Peter: Now?
Toxin: O-...O-Okay... Fine! I'll leave you alone...
Peter: Now don't come back!
Peter slammed the window shut... Aunt May shockingly managed to stay asleep through all of this!
SCENE TWO, Oscorp Building
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Late at night, Norman Osborn works on a project in Oscorp... Right now, he's finally completing it.
Norman: Yes... Yes! I've done it! The ultimate being to kill the Spider-Man.
He presses a button, which opens a large glass case in front of him, revealing a purple, brown and green suit, with a cape, boots, belt, ears, yellow eyes, all topped off with a long, pointed hat.
Norman: The Goblin armor.

Since Skadi is still on her Teacher getup, Luka will have to play the lead role this time. This summer halter is perfect to show off the Succubus sigil
APPROXIMATE RELEASE DATE: 2004-2006
MISSING ITEMS: Basket, bouquet, hair clip
PERSONAL FUN FACT: For such a simple dress, this getup is a winner on Kirsten. Don't let this humble photo mislead you. The basic design of this outfit is probably what made me hesitant to pull the trigger sooner on eBay/Mercari. Lucky for me, Colleen found this Midsummer Outfit for a bargain in July of 2022. I always figured I'd end up with just the dress itself. There was no need to pay extra for the basket, flowers, and hair clip. I don't have much practical use for the flower basket (just as a photo prop or a display piece). As for the hair clip, I am always excited to make my own...I sometimes intentionally look for cheaper listings that are missing the factory ones! This dress reminds me so much of something you'd purchase today from American Girl. The material is on the thin side, and is somewhat stiff. It's amazing that this outfit is fifteen years older than many of the garments I own now, but you would never be able to tell! This can also be dressed in a more modern way. It would be cute for a Girl of Today/Girl of the Year type doll if the occasion called for it. Of course, my favorite historical fashions are the ones that are blatantly inspired by the past!
Mainline food reformers might shake their heads at some of the “healthful” foods that Linkwell promotes. There are coupons for packaged Hormel Natural Choice deli meats, for example, and Smart Balance Buttery Spread, something food-reform author Michael Pollan might classify as a “foodlike substance.” Linkwell does have criteria about what foods it promotes. For example, a food cannot have more than 480 milligrams of sodium per serving and must have two grams or less of saturated fat per serving.
“We realize that Lean Cuisine is not a home-cooked, organic meal,” Gardner says. “We are a pragmatic solution that is not letting perfection get in the way of progress.”

Specialized coupon distribution promotes healthy eating
BY JANE BLACK
WASHINGTON POST SERVICE
www.miamiherald.com/2012/09/06/v-fullstory/2985602/specia...
Cook from scratch. Eat foods in season. Buy locally. That is the conventional wisdom on what Americans must do to become healthier.
Ben Gardner disagrees. The founder of Linkwell Health knows that Americans, especially those with chronic diseases, should eat better. Consumers with diabetes buy twice as many candy bars and more than twice as much Mountain Dew as their healthy peers, according to the research firm Nielsen, while those with heart disease buy 10 times as many frozen dinners.
But instead of trying to persuade these customers to purchase fresh produce and prepare a home-cooked meal, Linkwell offers them coupons for more healthful frozen dinners or diet soda. In short, it doesn’t let the ideal be the enemy of better eating, and the strategy is working.
Gardner’s approach reflects his background, which is healthcare, not food. Health insurers had spent decades building sophisticated, and expensive, disease-management programs. And yet, given the skyrocketing rates of obesity and chronic disease in the United States, it was clear that they couldn’t compete with slick marketing campaigns for chips, candy, soda and other unhealthful foods. Why not, Gardner thought, steal a page from the food companies’ playbook to encourage more healthful eating?
“Instead of sending someone a 100-page booklet, which nobody reads, about how to manage your health, why not just give them a coupon that they can actually use?” he says.
Americans do love coupons. More than 80 percent say they use coupons regularly, according to NCH Marketing, which tracks usage. In 2011, fueled by tough economic times, we redeemed $4.6 billion worth of coupons, a 12 percent rise over the previous year. Most of those, a quick peek through the Sunday paper will prove, are for unhealthful foods: soda, chips and snack cakes.
Gardner’s task was to target the consumers who most need to change the way they eat. The answer was to utilize an innovative program implemented by — wait for it — the U.S. Postal Service. When you move and file an official Postal Service change-of-address form, you can elect to receive useful discounts on moving trucks, household appliances, furniture and storage. It’s what you need, when you need it. (Gardner worked for several years at Imagitas, the company that designed and manages the postal program.)
To target needy consumers, Gardner reached out to health insurers, which have detailed health data on patients who struggle with their weight and diseases. He asked them to include healthful food coupons in their regular mailings. To protect patients’ privacy, Linkwell never sees the health data nor do the brands that sponsor the coupons.
Over the past four years, Linkwell has partnered with 20 health plans, including EmblemHealth, Humana, United Healthcare and WellPoint, which cover 120 million consumers, mailing about 100 million coupons from well-known brands such as General Mills, Kellogg’s, Kraft and Quaker Oats. The take-up rate — the number of consumers who use the coupons they receive — is more than double that for coupons in the Sunday newspaper circulars.
Linkwell also has run pilot programs in which grocery stores offer discounts on fresh produce or seafood. It is experimenting with promotions in which customers who buy a box of, say, Special K get $1 off fresh blueberries.
Mainline food reformers might shake their heads at some of the “healthful” foods that Linkwell promotes. There are coupons for packaged Hormel Natural Choice deli meats, for example, and Smart Balance Buttery Spread, something food-reform author Michael Pollan might classify as a “foodlike substance.” Linkwell does have criteria about what foods it promotes. For example, a food cannot have more than 480 milligrams of sodium per serving and must have two grams or less of saturated fat per serving.
“We realize that Lean Cuisine is not a home-cooked, organic meal,” Gardner says. “We are a pragmatic solution that is not letting perfection get in the way of progress.”
Nutritionists agree.
“It’s small, gradual changes that work best,” says Constance Brown-Riggs, a registered dietitian and a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
“You do have some individuals that can turn everything around and empty their cupboard and load up on fresh fruit and vegetables and never eat anything from a can again. But there are many individuals who are unable to make those kinds of drastic lifestyle changes. The research shows that small changes do make a difference.”
Health insurers like the program because it is a simple way to nudge consumers toward better health. But it also encourages customers to open and read their healthcare plan information. Humana, for example, says it saw its “open rate” jump from 60 percent to 90 percent over the years it has worked with Linkwell. The coupons are sent out quarterly and also can be downloaded online. A service for mobile devices is in development.
For the food companies, Linkwell offers ultra-targeted marketing that the grocery circular can’t. Dreamfields Pasta, a specialty item designed for diabetics, says it gets double the redemption on coupons issued through Linkwell because it puts them in the hands of patients who need to manage their blood sugar.
Other, more mainstream, brands such as Quaker Oats and Sargento get a kind of halo effect because coupons for their product are packaged with information from a health-insurance company.
The goal, says Gardner, is to help consumers take control of their health. “Health care is a mystery to almost everyone. But coupons are a currency that everybody understands.”

.....item 3).... BiZz-R-O Cinema: "Get Ready to Get Weird" With WTF Films and $3 Beers ...

O Cinema is known (and loved) for its eclectic mix of weird, wacky and wildly artistic flicks, and now they're branching out into another genre. Namely, what the fuck? In their own words, that sums up the films in their new series, BiZz-R-O Cinema, kicking off on April 5.
.

The new lineup, programmed in partnership with the folks at Gutter Films, will offer a late-night glimpse into the offbeat, kitschy and "downright disturbing" for four Fridays in a row. Think serial killers, man-eating gators, and batshit crazy Scandinavians. You don't wanna miss it.

The first film, screening on Friday, April 5, is Alligator, a flick about a pet Florida gator who gets flushed down a Missouri toilet and ends up living on the corpses of dogs who were test subjects for growth hormones. You can probably infer the course of events.
Attendees are encouraged to "come dressed as your favorite Florida swamp dweller, be it a gator, flamingo, tacky tourist or snow bird."
According to Matt Walter, who programmed the series with colleague
Kevin Bosch, the concept came about based on a tradition of offbeat, late-night film programming that dates to the 1930s.

As far as selections, Walter wanted to get weird. Really weird.
"Fortunately there's little shortage of unusual films out there, but we want to make sure we're not just settling for the typical run-of-the-mill stuff," Walter says. "It's our job to not only select films that are both weird and good, but that leave you thinking 'Now that was weird!'"

Continued from page 1
While flicks are scheduled through April as of now, they're hoping it becomes an ongoing "weekend refuge for those who are overexposed to the mundane normalcy of the typical workweek for a night filled with beer-fueled cinematic madness," according to Walter. Normalcy = bad.
The experience is also designed to be interactive, with everything from costumes to cosplay being incorporated into the pre-screening festivities. The evenings will kick off at 10 p.m. with beers, BBQ, tunes and games in the theater's massive parking lot slash courtyard. $3 beer specials are also on the menu.

The rest of the month's lineup will feature The Shining on April 12, Kubrick's classic "Where's Johnny?" Jack Nicholson flick; Häxan on April 19, a surrealistic old-school Scandanavian silent film about superstition and mental illness; and Brazil on April 26, a 1985 British science fiction fantasy film.
So don your best swamp-dweller getup and get ready to let your inner freak out next Friday. Don't worry, Miami's best weirdos will be there right along with you.

I found most of these bottles after the dams were removed from the Cuyahoga River in Cuyahoga Falls, OH and the river level dropped by several feet. Many of them are from the 1950's & 60's.

She didn't go anywhere in this getup, just so you know.

The grandson's 2023 Halloween getup. Took him a whole hour in the Halloween store to pick it out. If spotted in your neighborhood, just give him candy and send him on his way.
i like to remember that there are decent and thoughtful people in this country, too...
light the dark, a vigil to commemorate the death of reza berati, a 23 year old asylum-seeker from iran, in the australian offshore detention centre on manus island, along with the injuring of 77 other detainees
the australian government is actively concealing information with regard to the incident, though one doubts they'll be successful in the long run...
australia's international reputation has taken quite a battering in recent years - those overseas and locals who wonder whatever happened to the compassionate australia of past decades may take some hope from these events, held on short notice across the country
