Bruce est le fils de Clay Matthews, Sr. qui joua en National Football League dans les années 1950. Son frère Clay Matthews est également joué au niveau professionnel. Il étudia à l'Université de la Californie méridionale, jouant au football américain dans les USC Trojans mais il pratiquait également la lutte gréco-romaine. Il fut récompensé en football américain par le Morris Trophy en 1982. Bruce fut drafté en 1993 à la 9 place (premier tour) par les Titans du Tennessee alors que la franchise s'appelait les « Oilers de Houston ». Il restera dans la franchise de 1983 à 2001 toute sa carrière, même lorsque celle-ci déménagea de Houston à Nashville. Il côtoiera entre autres le running back Earl Campbell. Au cours de sa carrière, il évolua au poste d'offensive tackle, d'offensive guard et de centre, c'est-à-dire dans tous les postes de la ligne offensive. Joueur à la longévité exceptionnelle, Matthews a enregistré la longévité record de la NFL pour n'importe quelle position avec ses 19 saisons jouées.

mediocre
It's a shame this book is so mediocre, it has some of the best heroes of the next generation--Superboy, Robin, Wonder Girl, and many of the others are somewhat interesting, and it is tied into the Crisis (which I'm starting to think might not be as big or great or necessary as DC thinks it is), but it was all over the place, which probably comes from being a collection of multiple different titles. Even one volume from INfinite Crisis is in here, and a middle volume at that, but there is no way of knowing when you've crossed into that. I think the problem with this book is that they just threw a bunch of stuff together.

The Titans during the Crisis
Tying up some loose ends during Infinite Crisis, Life and Death focuses on the Teen Titans during the cataclysmic event.Many old, dead Titans are back from the dead to terrorize the current incarnation of Titans, of which Cyborg and Starfire are in space with Donna Troy and Kyle Rayner, while Kid Flash is MIA.Not to mention that current Robin Tim Drake goes toe to toe with past Robin Jason Todd, and Tim doesn't walk away any better for it.In the meantime, Superboy gets his butt handed to him by the psychotic Superboy Prime, and he and Wonder Girl enjoy their last moments together before he makes his final stand against the fallen Earth Prime hero.There's more than a fair share of confusing elements taking place in this Teen Titans TPB, which combines various issues of other series as well.Hence the uneven feel between each chapter in terms of writing and artwork, but while there's nothing bad to be found here, there's nothing really substancial either.If you are on an Infinite Crisis spree and need everything leading up to and involving DC's mega event, than Life and Death is worth picking up.If not, it won't kill you not to have this in your collection.

Quit while you're ahead
Like its companion volume "Outsiders:Crisis Intervention", this volume fails to live up to its predecessors.Aside from learning how DC finally resolves the Doom Patrol paradox, there's really no reason to pick up this volume, and believe me, those 2 pages or so aren't worth the price of the book.Leaf through it at your local bookstore if you have to, but don't waste your money buying it like I did.It's already on my "to go" pile.

Crisis Infinite meets the Titans's
Another Infinite Crisis crossover. Read the final battle of Superboy!

Ok...I guess I'll be the 1st to review this tpb collection. This tpb collects TEEN TITANS #29-33, TEEN TITANS ANNUAL #1 and ROBIN #146-147 and INFINITE CRISIS #6. Here are the following story arcs in the tpb:

Jason Todd sneaking into the Titans Tower and confronting Tim Drake, the current Robin. They duke it out to see who is the better Robin. Tim gives his best shot, but in the end, gets beaten by Jason, who is more skilled and ruthless than Tim.

The live Teen Titans confront the deceased Teen Titans. Huh you may ask? Seems like dead superheroes don't wanna stay dead. Raven and Beast Boy and the rest of the living Teen Titans must find some way to ensure the dead Teen Titans are indeed dead. I won't spoil it for you, buy it and read it!

Superboy Prime confront Superboy of the Teen Titans, Conner, and beats Connor to a bloody pulp

Robin and the some of the Titans must retrieve some serum that will save Superboy life. It is stored in a secret bunker created by Lex Luthor to conduct cloning and other weird experiments. After battling their way through the bunker defense and experimental creatures gone awry, they are able to ascertain the much need serum to save Superboy's life.

After Superboy is cured, he goes back to Smallville with Wonder Girl to discuss their feelings and review his life. One thing leads to another and he finally bangs Wonder Girl...lucky dude!

Superboy and Nightwing join forces to thwart Alexander Luthor JR's attempt merge Earth 2 and Earth 3. Conner and Superboy Prime meet in final showdown in which only one Superboy walks away alive. Take a guess which Superboy lives and which one dies...hint to both Marvel and DC...no more stupid cloning of major Superheroes...1st Spider-man and then Superman. Then they both die and come back to life...see Spider-man The Other for the death and rebirth of Spidey.

Well that's the synopsis of the major arc in this tpb. If you've been following the Identity Crisis and Infinite Crisis, you'll better appreciate the collected stories here. If not, you'll surely be confused here.

Overall the book is an interesting read, some of the arcs just drag on. You get some great art and then some bleh art, especially the part in which Robin and the Titans are retrieving the serum to save Conner (Superboy) life. The artwork is damn ugly.
What we learn from this tpb is that Tim Drake needs more training from Batman in order to take on Jason Todd. No more cloning of major heroes, and no one in comics ever ever die! See Superman, Spider-man, Green Lantern, Jean Grey, Donna Troy, and Green Arrow etc. Too bad Lincoln can't be brought back to life run the Whitehouse. Nuff said!

Oh yeah, at least Conner got lucky before going off to fight Superboy Prime. That Wonder Girl is so easy. In current New Teen Titans comic run, she and Robin are now hooked up!! Is this the kiss of death for Tim Drake? Time will tell...oh wait...I think no one ever dies in comics! ... Read more

A classic folk story of trust and courage
Preston McDaniels has illustrated many other children's books, and kids with good reading skills will appreciate John Stewig's retelling of the classic Whuppity Stoorie, paired with McDaniels' fine drawings. A poor goodwife trusts a mysterious witch to cure her ailing sow and finds herself in a struggle for her greatest treasure in this classic folk story of trust and courage.

Promote Scots!
One of the reasons Scots is dying as a language is because of reviews like the one above. While no doubt Scots words will be difficult for young readers who are just learning to read English, they should not be dissuaded from tasting the vocabulary of another culture. I recommend this book both for its use of rich language and its well-documented retelling of a classic Scottish story. ... Read more

high road guide to north carolina mountains
great-excellent information in an easy to use and understand format- highly recommend to anyone with an interest in oldest mountains on earth or just in visiting western north carolina.

Excellent guidebook for the WNC highlands
This is an excellent and actionable guidebook. It introduces aspects of area history, geology animal and plant life in an accessable format.Plenty of specifics are provided to help you find the exact place being discussed, and you are warned in advance how long or hard the hike will be.
This is the only regional guidebook I have found that divides the area along its prominent geologic areas, and discusses the topology, history, flora and fauna from that perspective.
It took me a little effort to get oriented, but with the help of my local topo map book, I was soon understanding in greater depth the beautiful area in which I live. I love to hike and trout fish, and this book is helping me plan my outings. This Sunday, you will find me fishing on Spillcorn Creek.

Wealth of Information on North Carolina Natural Treasures
As a child of Asheville, I found the book very good.I learned details about the area I was born and raised in that at 56 I did not know. Anyone that wants to know lots about this national treasure of outdoors must getthis book!

A Superb Guide to the North Carolina Mountains
The Highroad series of guidebooks is a blessing to anyone wanting to explore the mountains. The North Carolina guide is no exception. The author includes detailed, up-to-date information on trails, camping, rivers andother areas of interest for lovers of the outdoors.
