Computer Lettering for Comic Books: A Primer by Sean Glumace - Tutorials
I wrote this tutorial about comic book lettering for a presentation I did for the Friends of Lulu LA back in 1996 and it is still floating around out on the web in various forms. Over the years I have lettered books for most of the major publishers and independents, and this process has not changed much. I did a new series of videos which can be found on my Behance site as well.
While most of it is still up to date and relevant, I have republished it here and added and removed a few things. One of the major changes is that I use InDesign instead of QuarkXPress now.
This article is still live online in its original form at http://hans.presto.tripod.com/glumace_primer.html
I never do my major lettering in Photoshop. (Note: I still agree, don't do your major lettering in Photoshop, but now with vector based objects and type in Photoshop you can do so much more than you could 15 years ago) I would suggest you use Adobe Illustrator to letter. I've been lettering for a number of years now and here's a quick how to do it primer:
1) Take your working artwork (Note: Usually a 300dpi TIFF file that is flattened from the original Photoshop document that was used to color or just the line art) from Photoshop and place it in an illustrator template that you make with your guides (usually 6.625 x 10.25 but that may vary) on a layer by itself as a background layer to work on top of for your lettering.
2) Create another layer on top. This is where you will be placing the lettering. (Note: You may use multiple layers now) I also suggest that you use open type fonts. ComicCraft Fonts and other major font publishers make fonts in OpenType. You will be able to use these on both the Mac and PC. I usually use 7-8 pt text with no stroke weight when lettering, but that may vary as well depending on the look and feel you are shooting for.
3) As you start to letter I like to have the script written out in a Microsoft Word or emailed to me. This protects me from doing creative "editing" when typing in a script from a hardcopy, plus it speeds things up because all I have to do is cut and paste. Keep an eye out for mistakes in the script. It happens and make a list of "corrections" to send back for proofing. Saves time down the road in production for you.
4) Now to the word balloons…. First I lay down the script and by eye I try to shape it into an oval or round shape. This may take some practice to do, but you will get the hang of it. Then I take the oval tool in illustrator and draw the bubble around the text with a white fill, I do this fill because if you didn't you would have the art work showing through. I try to give an ample amount of space around the text the outside line. I also use all 1 pt. stroke weights on the bubbles (but this may vary as well). Now you are ready to do the monkey tails (or balloon tails).
5) Monkey tails (balloon tails). This is where it gets tricky the first few times out. Use the pen tool to create a point where you want the tail to start. Then create another point where you want the tail to end in a point, then hold down the option key and click on that point, this will redirect the vector handle and you will get a sharp point. Then create the last point back inside the bubble where you want the tail to end. You know have a custom Monkey Tail! But it looks ugly with it sticking up into the word bubble, not a problem, under filters in illustrator select pathfinder then unite and they will become one, also your text may "disappear at this point, but don't worry just send the balloon to the back (apple key + minus key) and you'll be in business.
NOTE: I like to use Compound Shapes in the Pathfinder Pallet pull down menu. This creates an object that still can be taken apart unlike the Unite tool. Your call how you want to work in the production process.
5) As you letter in illustrator you will find that when you need special effects (like POW or BANG) the filters and commercial plug ins like will come in handy. Many font foundries make fonts that have all the special effects built in, so all you need to do is type and get that POW or BANG you need. Plus with Illustrator you can just make corrections by retyping or moving a bubble from place to place.
6) The last step. first when you are done with the page delete the layer with the image file in it you now have just the text on a blank page. I will outline the text and save it as a production file with a name like page01.ai. I used to make EPS files but have moved over to AI files for my production process. If you are sending them to another publisher or designer I suggest outlining everything and saving as an .eps file. Make sure you keep a working file with everything editable.
7) Then it is on to InDesign for the final output. This is the simplest of the process to do. First create a page template to the size of your book. I usually use a 6.625 x 10.25 page (so something similar) with a 1/4 inch margin, some prefer 1/8 inch, but as I said before this may vary. Then start laying in the images on each page. TIFF or image file should be laid down first then the eps file on top, line them up using the align tools or . I also try to build the entire book in InDesign at this point, letters to the editor page, ads etc. this also includes the inside and inside rear cover files and call this file my interiors file, then build an exterior color cover file.
8) In InDesign you want to do a FILE>PACKAGE to collect all the files that you used and fonts that are not outlined. For the comic book fonts make sure you outline them in Illustrator first. It may be against your use/license agreement to actually send those. Even if they are common fonts like Helvetica and such, don't assume that the printer will have them. If you fail to do this I can promise you that bad things will happen….late printing, wrong fonts etc.
Well I hope that this helps or answers your questions.
Any who if you guys find something wrong or have a better way of doing it give me a yell, I'd love to hear from you!!

Reading Date: December 1, 2018
Book Summary: An all new collection of never before seen stories from Jim Henson's beloved fantasy classic Labyrinth, including the secret history of Sir Didymus and the vow he once made to guard the bridge over the Bog of Eternal Stench.
Book Review: I must say that when I saw this issue I was midly surprised that we are going to get a bigger look into the inhabitants of the Labyrinth. It has been great that we are getting things from one of my favorite movies. I had always wondered what life was like in the Underground and now I have my chance to explore it.
In this issue, we are getting three different stories. All dealing with people and the changes that came to their lives.
In our first tale called "The Eternal Tournament". Here we learn exactly how Sir Didymus and his faithful steed, Ambrosius, came into guarding the Bog of Eternal Stench as well as Jareth's service. A long time ago, one bloodline had been in charge of this bridge but the current generation of said bloodline longs to be free of this burden. So every year there has been a tournament in hopes of changing that. Mariell wants to be free and eventually she comes across Sir Didymus. After a friendly competition, Mariell is finally free and Sir Didymus becomes the guardians of the Bog.
In our second tale called "En Guard!". Ever wonder how Hoggle came to his current job before meeting Sarah? Well this will be the story for you. A long time ago, Hoggle used to be cleaning all the goblin's smelly armour. This is not the job Hoggle really wants but when he runs into a bird whom is the current groundskeeper and talks him into changing jobs. The Groundskeeper also offers some sage advice of places that offer shortcuts throughout the Labyrinth. This knowledge will eventually be brought in to some use especially when Sarah finally arrives.
In our third and final tale simply called "No", we meet a clumsy goblin named No. No has been kicked out of the goblin army after failing miserably at each task he has been given. The poor goblin is pushed away into the unknown edge of the Labyrinth. There he finds a book called "The Sneaky Pirate King", which offers him another job he just may be good at - thieving. No now begins to venture through the labyrinth collecting books. He goes from "No: The Clumsy Goblin" to "Know: the Almighty Moving Library."
These stories were great and it adds a really nice addition of learning more about the inhabitants of the labyrinth. I am glad I picked this one up and I quite enjoy these tales. I am hoping that this is not simply a one-shot and that we will get other stories to come.

The big topic of discussion on the internet last night was: "Is Zayn Malik cheating on his girlfriend?"
Um, who cares? This video is HILARIOUS. I honestly don't know what is funnier: Zayn macking this random girl in the hallway, his security guard doing some major mack-blocking, or Zayn making sure to ask how old the girl is AFTER inviting her back to his room. Like where do I even begin with this?
Whatever, while the internet is busy throwing shade, blame, and fan insanity at just about everyone they can get their e-hands on I will just be here laughing at Zayn Malik's groupie game.
Also, how creepy is it that someone took this video through their hotel room peep hole? Nothing and nowhere is safe, kids.

Some say everyday's a school day, well with this nice idea from design studio Young, you can Learn Something Every Day. Submit your own facts to the site and see if they get selected. Also well worth checking out their other work.
Another BKMD addition and some nice updates since I last visited from London based design collective Bunch. I like the look of the limited edition of 300 entitled "TEN" after Milton Glaser's essay "Ten Things I Have Learned".
Its been a while since I have added anything to the BKMD series of posts and I have been meaning to post the work of Swiss agency Demian Conrad Design for a while now. I got an email through from Demian to tell me about there new project entitled Mercalibro, a second hand market that runs once a month in Bellinzona. Really nice typographic work and there is plenty of other nice work.
Finally got round to coming up with a couple of ideas for the Create Democracy exhibition which is going to form part of the Design Event 09. The first of my submissions is called Abstain (shown above) and uses two iconic political campaign shapes overlaping to create a 'grey area' in which people can abstain from voting. The second is called 'Definition' and is based on the fact that after a Wikipedia search the term democracy has no universally excepted definition, which I enjoyed the irony of. The tape element is hint at the looseness of the term and the idea of holding it all together. If you think either design should be part of the exhibition then vote for them here. Well… c'mon people!
I was asked to contribute to a book called The field Guide for Graphic Designers about a year ago just before my move to Sydney and I have just received my copy of the book which has just been published in the UK by Rockport. Its a great little book with lots of great contributions such as Toko, Frank Chimero, Troika, Xavier Encinas, Hinterland and Roanne Adams amongst others. The book is out now priced £19.99 and is a worthwhile read for any designer young or old. Thanks to Ana Labudovic and MaoMao publications for all their help.
I was delighted to be invited by my friends at Stereohype to submit a set of badges for their By Invitation Only (B.I.O) Series 8. The set above will be produced by Stereohype and available to purchase via the Stereohype Boutique online store in the coming weeks. I created a set of signage inspired badges based on the idea that by applying these usually location driven messages to mobile canvases such as badges enables you to take them out of their typical setting and apply them to anything anywhere. Thanks again guys and hope they go down well.

In May, I discussed the ongoing war of words being exchanged between generic drugmakers that were the subject of potential megamergers and concluded that Mylan N.V. wouldn't be likely to sweeten the offer it was making to acquire Perrigo , and that Teva Pharmaceuticals might not be able to win over Mylan.
Continue Reading Below
Given that Teva Pharmaceuticals gave up on its pursuit of Mylan on July 27, and Mylan failed to convince Perrigo's shareholders to tender their shares last week, hopes for both deals have now officially been squashed -- and that might be OK for investors.
Tossing up handsThe inability to negotiate a fair price for these companies suggests there's a lot of uncertainty surrounding how much the generic drug market is actually worth.
Teva Pharmaceuticals' failed bid to buy Mylan was valued at $40.1 billion, an amount 4.4 times greater than Mylan's trailing-12-month sales. Yet, according to Mylan's board of directors, that amount "grossly" undervalued it.
Meanwhile, Mylan's initial $205 per share offer for Perrigo led to Perrigo arguing that its 5% to 7% projected annual growth through 2017 made it worth far more that that, prompting Mylan to up its bid to $244 per share. Yet, Perrigo's board remained unconvinced that price valued it appropriately, an opinion that appears to have been supported by investors given Mylan's failed hostile bid.
Billions in sales up for grabsAccording to a research report from Evaluate Pharma, over $290 billion in branded pharmaceuticals will have lost patent protection between 2011 and 2018, and because generic drugs typically capture between 80% and 90% market share, the opportunity for these generic drugmakers is massive.
In addition to the market opportunity available to generic drugmakers in traditional small-molecule drugs, the generic medicine market is about to change dramatically as biologics, which have previously been immune to the threat of generics because of their complexity, are finally challenged by them.
As part of healthcare reform, the FDA established a pathway to approval for generic variations of biologics that are similar, but not exact copies of biologics, and the first of these biosimilars hit the market this year.
Image source: Mylan.
The arrival of biosimilars could transform the generics industry, because biosimilars that have been launched in Europe, a market that has allowed biosimilar competition for years, have been priced at roughly 70% of the price of the branded biologic. That's far better than the 10% to 20% traditional generic small-molecule drugs have commanded relative to their branded counterparts.
An estimated $67 billion in branded biologics will lose patent protection by 2020, and that has industry participants projecting that the market for biosimilars will reach $20 billion that year.
In addition to growing sales tied to traditional generics and biosimilars, a larger and longer-living population should also boost demand for generic drugmakers' over-the-counter medicines.
Because baby boomers are turning 65 at a pace of 10,000 per day, and demand for medication increases with age, there should be plenty of tailwinds for OTC medications in the coming years.
Getting back to businessThe M&A stand-off between these companies has created uncertainty that has been a distraction from the long-term market opportunity that exists for them. As a result, shares in all three of these companies have tumbled.
However, now that these distractions are coming to an end, a return to the business of capitalizing on growing global demand for low-cost medication could be just what's needed for shares in Teva Pharmaceuticals, Mylan, and Perrigo to begin heading higher again.
If so, then investing in these companies while their share prices remain below their pre-deal levels could prove to be savvy.

Bioware will now begin officially testing for bugs and errors in the RPG.
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 26th, May. 2014 Under News
After reporting that Dragon Age: Inquisition would be entering the "content complete" stage – wherein all content in the game has been locked down and testing for bugs can begin – Bioware executive producer Mark Darrah has confirmed that the open world RPG has entered into Alpha stage.
Darrah indicated as much on Twitter. "We have declared Alpha! A major milestone for Dragon Age! Next up, E3." So to those attending E3, look forward to being able to play Inquisition on the show floor. As it stands, the game is still several months away from release and as bug testing progresses, we'll get a better glimpse at the game's mechanics and missions.
Dragon Age: Inquisition releases on October 7th for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. It will see players take on the role of the High Inquisitor as he (or she) assembles an alliance to combat the forces of evil. Stay tuned for more details as E3 nears.

HAGERSTOWN — Zack Swisher wore a South Hagerstown varsity baseball uniform from 1996-1998.
He'll put one on again when the 2012 prep baseball starts, but this time as the coach of the Rebels.
Athletic director Mike Tesla announced Swisher has been named South's new head coach, succeeding Ralph Stottlemyer.
"I'm looking forward to my first year as a varsity head coach," said Swisher, who has been a physical education teacher at Springfield Middle School since 2003.
Swisher, 31, played for the Rebels' junior varsity in 1995-96 before getting some playing time during the varsity's '96 run to the state championship. He became South's starting second baseman and pitched for the 1997-98 teams and earned first-team All-MVAL and All-County.
He still holds South's single-season record for runs scored with 41.
Swisher played for Hagerstown Community College for two years, before finishing his college career and graduating from Davis & Elkins in 2002. He was a first-team all-conference shortstop.
He returned to South as an assistant under Stottlemyer and served as the junior varsity coach. He also played for Funkstown American Legion from 1996-99.
"I've got a new desire to coach and the juices to coach got flowing again," said Swisher. "In Washington County and at South High, we know what the expectations of the student-athlete are. I want to take my enthusiasm for baseball and pass it on to the kids. I hope it rubs off on them."
Swisher said he'll start gathering information on the Rebels' upcoming team, but he'll focus on playing small ball and utilizing speed in the game.
Stottlemyer is retiring after having served as the Rebels' coach since 2003 when he guided South to the state championship.
"We want to thank Ralph for his time here and we appreciate everything he has done and all the years he has put in at South," said Tesla, noting Stottlemyer's 30-plus years of service.
"We look forward to having (Zack) as the new head coach, and a coach that is coming back from his school days at South," said Tesla. "He's a young guy and excited."

Which scooter model should I choose?
Both models are the same height so the deciding between the two is primarily a decision of which design you prefer, and which riding experience suits you better.
The Americana model has larger wheels and is longer and therefore gives a smoother riding experience and more of a bouncy feel when you ride it.
The Kimura model has smaller wheels and is shorter and will therefore give you a more compact and stiff feel when you ride it.
Do they come fully assembled?
How tall do you have to be to ride one of your scooters?
We have found that anyone between 140-190 cm will get the most out of our scooters.
How do I lock the scooter?
Are they foldable?
Yes, you can fold the handlebar so you can get it in to the trunk of a car, or other small spaces.
What does the law say about scooters, in terms of wearing a helmet and riding on the pavement?
The laws vary from country to country and sometimes between regions so please check your local laws and regulations. That said, we always recommend wearing a helmet when you are riding on a scooter, and the scooters are generally intended for use on sidewalks and not the road. However, in some countries, where you are allowed to ride, is determined by the speed you are travelling at, so you may need to ride in bike lanes or in the street if you ride very quickly. Also remember, when you are riding on sidewalks with pedestrians, they have right of way. Finally, and most importantly, ride safely!
Can I bring a scooter with me on the bus or subway?
What maintenance is required?
The kick scooters, like all bikes, need to be maintained to ensure they last long, ride well and do not rust or break down. The scooters should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, sand or long durations in rain or snow. They are intended for transportation and not for tricks, stunts or jumps. Key aspects of maintenance are:
- Always ensure screws and bolts are tightened before riding
- Always ensure that the brakes are effectively braking
- Do not store the scooters outside if it is raining or snowing or in a humid place
- When adjusting the height of the handlebar, always ensure that you leave 75mm of the handlebar in the fork. You can see the indentations on the handlebar showing where you must not exceed the height
- Keep away from salt and sand
- Do not use the scooters for stunts, jumps or tricks
- Always ensure the tyres are properly inflated before riding
- Apply bicycle oil to the bearings annually
Can I return the scooter if it is broken or if I change my mind?
Yep, returns happen and that is ok. We want satisfied customers and will work with you to make sure that you are or that you can return your scooter to us. The only thing we expect is that you inform us within 30 days of having received the scooter that you want to return it and that is has not been used. Of course you can unpack it and look at it but it cannot be dirty and used outside. If the return is due to the scooter being damaged or if you have received the wrong scooter or color we will of course pay for the return and replacement. However, if it is because you changed your mind and no longer want a scooter you will need to pay for the return yourself. But we are confident that this won't happen when you see the scooter in front of you. In case of a receiving a faulty scooter or incorrect order please contact us within two months of having received it. Just to emphasize, we want 100% satisfied customers and believe in our products so if there is anything you wonder just drop as an email and we will work with you to resolve it.

Google's new look
Sorry if this post is not relevant to my regular topics but I just couldn't resist.
Is this Google's new look? Or is this some experiment that they are running that I am seeing?
On a more related note (to my blog that is) I am currently updating a project for a fixed backend DLL for the Pantheios logger (http://www.pantheios.org) that I will upload to my Google Code project soon (i.e. at http://ossandcad.googlecode.com). Will post about that as soon as possible.
Update April 9 2010: I am currently in New Jersey and don't see the modified Google search page (that I saw from Redmond). So obviously no dramatic changes by Google. Probably just some experiment that they are running that "I" happen to be a "part" of.

Tasting Notes: Located in the heart of Orvieto Classico, Altarocca–as its name would imply–is at 350m above sea level, higher than its neighbors, and consequently has a longer ripening season. Using classic Umbrian varietals such as Grechetto and even Procanico, Altarocca has a deep respect for tradition, but also a highly modern approach to winemaking, using low yields, sustainable methods, and the best technology. This wine is bright and sunny, with citrus and granite overtones.

Kirby Star Allies review
It's Kirby, Jim, but not as we know it
A darkness descends upon the land. Glowing organs fall from the sky, corrupting all they touch. A single brave hero must recruit a mercenary band to push back the encroaching evil; that hero is… Kirby?
It's Kirby, guys.
Kirby Star Allies is the latest in the long running and much beloved franchise, but this time comes with an ingrained and omnipresent co-op twist, and that's convincing enemies to join you by throwing hearts at them.
It sounds simple, and it is; this isn't an extreme departure for the lovable pink balloon golem, not in the same way as Breath of the Wild was with its open world of exploration. Star Allies is still, at its core, a 2-D platformer. And you know what? That's what it should be.
As far as aesthetics go, it's again sticking to basics, and doing it well. The game looks gorgeous but still runs like a dream, not bloated down with unnecessary additions. The enemy design is mostly excellent, despite a couple of very similar models that could've been a bit more unique. Levels are also quite basic, but they do the basics well so it's difficult to complain about; they're not breath-taking labyrinths, but they get the job done. The music is a variety of remixes of the classic Kirby sound, which are nice to start but will, I assume, eventually drive anyone insane. Also Kirby yelling 'Ohai' all the time will grind you down, but at least it's not every few minutes… Oh wait, it is.
But aside from anything else, the stand-out of the whole game has got to be the allies. While Kirby can gobble up enemies and gain their powers, much like Zachary Quinto could in Heroes, whoever gets to be Player 2 simply takes the form of the character itself. This can be both hilarious and useful, as some abilities simply can't be used by Kirby, like the cool giant beetle I learned could grab and throw others around the map like a demented living tennis ball. Now THAT'S gameplay!
Look, there's not a lot of challenge to Star Allies. If you want to pick it up because you just can't wait for Dark Souls, you may be barking up the wrong cartridge. I'm not even sure it's possible to really lose; the first time one of us fell in a pit and died, we had 17 extra lives left, so didn't really panic. Combat can get frenetic, with button mashing being a favourite strategy during our sessions, but that almost always worked so, ya know, don't get too hung up on your mad skillz after you beat the first boss.
The exception is the additional modes you unlock at the end of the campaign; the story is pretty short but, if you love it, this game is chock full of replay value. A time-attack mode lets you play as an Ally and go pell-mell through the campaign, so if you REALLY want you could do that with literally everyone. There's also an adjustable difficulty mode, which can lock abilities, increase damage, and reduce health. It's still no Dark Souls, but if you're all about that challenge then I encourage you to stick with it until you dial that junk up to 11.
I played alone and with friends, and let me tell you, it's night and day. While the AI is pretty good, and only sometimes ruins your cool fire sword by spitting water on it (DARREN), it can get pretty dull just doing variations of the same thing over and over; the only way I kept myself amused was by making up names and backstories for my AI partners.
However, split your Joy-Con and you've got yourself a party game. While we played in a more agent of chaos, 'let's see how annoying it is to mount other players and ride them around for a while' style, it's undeniable that it was way more fun to share this experience with another human sitting beside you. You can argue about puzzle solutions, panic at bosses, constantly change characters to confuse everyone, and all around have a ball. This is one for the dock and a group of people who want to turn their brains off for a while; nothing wrong with that.
Kirby Star Allies may not break the mould in the same way as Zelda did with Breath of the Wild or Mario did with Odyssey, but it's still my favourite Kirby game. I'm not a die-hard fan, but in the age of online multiplayer and split screen dying the death of the outdated, it's heartwarming to see Nintendo sticking to its guns and remembering the pure enjoyment of chilling with the family and playing some harmless platforming fun.
I can see adults getting bored pretty rapidly, and I doubt I'd play any more solo. But, if you've got kids who haven't yet experienced this classic series, Kirby Star Allies is a very worthy introduction.

It was time to put some miles under the keel again today. There are so many islands out here and not much of a rush to move around frequently. Some cruisers have been posted up behind their favorite island for over a year. A little to long if you ask me.
Gwen and Trevor invited us down island to hang out with them and their family for a bit and to explore to new areas. Our sail at first was perfect doing 4.5 knots downwind with just the genoa out. Then for about 3 hours the wind died and we drifted at roughly .6 knots. We even got passed by a plastic Coca Cola bottle!
Early afternoon the wind filled back in slightly and we cruised along at 2.3 knots for a few more hours until I decided it was getting to late to read the water so we fired up the engine and cruised the rest of the way in to the anchorage. Trevor swam over from his boat and we all chilled in the water for a bit and had some beers on the back deck..
Navigation in the San Blas is a bit tricky if your not paying constant attention. The chart plotter above with Navionics charts will put you on an island or reef just about all the time in this area. The charts for it are horrible! The Mac is running overlay charts from the Bauhaus book. They are outstanding and pretty much right on. They even have programmed waypoints and routes for most main islands. Then why of course everything is again checked with the coordinates in the book itself in front of the Mac. All of this while trying to navigate between reef and watch the depth constantly.
This evening was entertaining as we got to meet Trevor's mom and their two friends. Everyone got together on the island for a bonfire, drinks, and smores. Olivia had her first smore experience ever! Apparently in Australia they don't do smores! They just have no idea what they are missing out on.

Lions Biggest BBQ success
The BBQ was held in conjunction with a wood raffle and both were well supported with over $500 being raised on the day. With crowd numbers as expected, most of the food was sold. The BBQ was particularly well supported by the staff of Rainbow P-12 College, who dropped in for a feed before heading off to work.
The Rainbow Lions would like to extend their thanks to Millie Ough for selling raffle tickets, and for the Lions who cooked the BBQ, especially Joe Gould, Greg Roberts, Lou Ravenhorst and Graeme Smith.
The Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation (ALCCRF) supports high impact cancer research programs not just across Australia, but throughout the world.
By allocating funds to the very best scientific programs and clinical research trials, they can ensure that childhood cancer research is consistently making strides toward their goal of making childhood cancer 100 percent survivable.

The new V90 delivers cutting-edge Pilot Assist semi-autonomous drive technology, the most advanced standard safety package on the market, including Large Animal Detection and Run-off Road Mitigation, and class-leading connectivity, including smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay.
With its T8 Twin Engine, the Volvo V90 accomplishes the ultimate in performance without compromise. The three different drive modes means the V90 suits all needs. Hybrid mode gives smooth and efficient everyday driving. In pure electric mode, journeys are near silent with zero emissions. Power mode combines petrol and electric power to give you maximum performance.
Experience a light and spacious driving experience thanks to the panoramic roof. Whether closed or open, it connects you with the outside – even while you're inside.
With an air-ventilated subwoofer integrated into the structure of the car, and a tweeter on the dashboard, this Bowers & Wilkins sound system is at the cutting-edge of technology.
The V90 will also feature a performance inspired R-Design model, with an advanced sport chassis that delivers an energetic, road-hugging drive.
The cabin of the V90 is uncluttered and creates a feeling of calm, while elegant details such as the diamond-patterned starter knob, and Swedish materials like Flame Birch and Orrefors crystal, create an atmosphere of contemporary luxury.
The V90 is available with a panoramic roof that extends over the rear seats – so everyone in the car benefits from enriching natural light. The front section of the roof tilts and opens for extra ventilation, and a powered sunshade keeps the interior cool.
Every V90 provides strong performance, thanks to our state-of-the-art petrol and diesel engines. The compact, lightweight construction of each four-cylinder unit helps improve agility, while low-friction technology balances smooth power with exceptional efficiency.
The T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid gives the V90 four drive modes allow you to change the car's character. In Pure mode, the T8 Twin Engine provides enough electric-only power for most daily commutes. Power mode combines the petrol engine and electric motor to give you maximum responsiveness. In default Hybrid mode, the V90 selects or combines the power sources for smooth, efficient progress. An AWD mode gives you the extra security of all-wheel drive.
The high quality Bowers & Wilkins audio system in the V90 provides clarity and realism through 15 speakers, including a unique subwoofer that draws air in from outside the car to create deeper, more resonant bass.

Many media can be used as the subject or humor object and amusing activity, either by viewing funny videos, funny story, funny sounds, and funny pictures. In general, funny videos and funny pictures easiest to provoke laughter in everyone who saw it, because it is more universal. The universal nature of funny pictures and videos is at the core of humor is delivered, where the notice does not always have to be able to master the language used, but still able to catch the humor is delivered.
Nowadays a lot of images and animated humor we can get, either via the internet or by exchanging with other smart phone users. Funny pictures more flexible in use and also how to get it, because it does not require access to an internet connection and it takes a huge media store that much on the phone.

The PC is wired and according to the DXDIAG file it does support miracast and it already worked with a smart TV (however the TV is also wired). All updates are installed on both computers, both running Win10. Any idea?

As Anthony has a hard stop of 5.30 tomorrow as he us meeting his wife on one of the islands we decided to push on a bit further and then get up early tomorrow for the best chance of finishing all together. Plan B is that I will support getting Anthony to Jog, plan A is that we work as a team to get there together. We'll see what happens tomorrow…
Surreal that we have nearly finished.

So we are in Scotland. Yesterday was tough but with amazing views again and on the whole we stuck together and got through it as a team. We are looking forward to the ferry trips today. Getting bored of energy bars so starting to mix it up with some kendal mint cake and Tablet (I'm sure this will make my boss Jill smile :).
Thank you for your support – we are now over the £4000 mark which is amazing. Also special thanks to those we have dropped in on in particular my sister Jo who lives near the Lake district – she was holding on to some vital supplies and took a load of dirty kit from me to significantly lighten the weight of my bag for the hilly section…
On a final note you MUST watch the crazy video Nick and Andy made yesterday. It's on my twitter feed.

So I thought I'd put up some more information about the charity cycling expedition I am taking on with Andy, Anthony and Nick from the 10th May.
We are doing it over 8 days so about 115 miles a day with some serious climbing. Even with the training we are doing its going to be painful! We are doing it unsupported – carrying minimal baggage and staying in basic B&B and Youth Hostel accommodation.
Quick link to our charity fund raising page is here.
So here is the route we are planning to take each day along with the elevation profiles! Yes we are crazy! Note that Day 2/3 has changed slightly – will update the maps below when I get a moment. Route is still the same just shorter day 2 longer day 3.
Total distance = 1,474 KM or 916 miles!
If you can please do support our charities – we are riding for St Mungos Broadway (a homeless charity) and Royal Marsden Cancer (who provide world-class care for cancer patients, and undertake pioneering work in cancer research and education).
You can make a donation via our fund raising page here. All donations help motivate us to go through the pain of training and it will be good to know we have your support when we are on the road doing it!
Many thanks for reading!

The nation's children have voted Diary of a Wimpy Kid by American author Jeff Kinney as Blue Peter's Best Children's Book of the Last 10 Years, beating J K Rowling's boy wizard to the top spot in a special online vote.
South London author Gareth P Jones will also be howling with excitement to learn that his werewolf mystery The Considine Curse has triumphed to win the accolade of Blue Peter Book of the Year.
Blue Peter Editor Tim Levell comments on the winners:
'I am delighted with our two winning books. They are very different in terms of subject matter: one about school life, one about a creepy family with a secret. But they're both funny, well-observed and well-written books that do exactly what Blue Peter tries to do: treat children as grown-ups. The awards even contained a bit of a shock, with Diary of a Wimpy Kid beating hot favourite and top-seller Harry Potter. The accident-prone American upstart has snatched a bit of the boy wizard's

Seattle Double Feature and The Taking of Reels 1-2-3
Me and Black Rob invaded Seattle this last weekend with a carload of film to put on a Kung Fu Double Feature. The theater was filled to capacity with an energized audience, Eagle's Shadow brought the house down, and I think a couple people even liked Devil Woman. Before the show we met up with a couple of wild ass print collectors including a guy whose house is literally filled with film. The highlight was the collector who pulled some kung fu odd reels out of a closet to sell to us. The exploitation movie gods smiled upon us and we realized that the reels 1,2, and 3 matched a reels 4 and 5 we've had for a long time. Another Ng See Yuen/Woo Ping classic is saved! We set up the hand rewinds in the hotel room to inspect the fu. Check the photos (click on them for in-your-face action)

Jennifer Graham is the Exhibitions Assistant and Photographer for the International Quilt Study Center & Museum, which houses the largest publicly owned collection of quilts in the world. Jennifer's monthly column, Quilty Pleasures, will highlight what's happening at the museum, and in the world of quilts.
How long have you been involved in the world of stitch?
I've been pricking my fingers with pins and needles for as long as my toys, pets and siblings have needed fabulous accessories and home furnishings. In other words, I've been cutting up fabric and pinning it together for almost my whole life. My first Girl Scout badge was in sewing.
I really got serious about things in 2006, when I started my graduate program in textile design. Since then, I've been teaching around the United States and working at the International Quilt Study Center & Museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the Department of Textiles, Clothing & Fashion Design, where I started in the windowless world of collections photography, and have since moved my way into exhibit design and installation.
What is your favourite thing about stitchery?
For me, stitchery represents everyday creativity. We humans have been poking holes and stitching through them for almost as long as we've had thumbs. Stitchery connects us to a long line of women (and men) who took up needle and thread and just made something happen, whether it was a shirt for the baby, a rug for the floor, or something monumental, like the AIDS quilt. We need that kind of connection.
What do you make of the modern craft scene?
I love how the modern craft world has been propelled so quickly by the internet. I come from the middle of the United States, where exotic fabrics, fibers, threads and findings used to be half a world away. Now, I can bring the world to me, and my work isn't limited to what's at the local fabric shop.
Do you have any unusual talents we might not know about?
Well, I do have a talent for growing long, straight hair, which I use in my creative work. I use my own hair for embroidery on silk organza, and I embed it in patterns in my handmade paper, which I also stitch. It creeps people out, but I think of hair as a holding place for the past. If you look at a person's hair, you can see what they've eaten, where they live, how often they bathe—the works! Taking that a step further, the poet in me thinks of hair as the repository of memory, and so hair can represent the sadness, the loss, and the joy we've experienced while it's just lying around growing out of our heads.

William King Diary Entry
Cobb County, Georgia
1st. Sept'r. 1864.
Another month has gone, one more month & I may hope to be on my way Home. The rapid flight of time keeps my spirits up; I am so wearied of the long separation from my family, without being able to hear a word from any of them–if I only felt certain that I shall then be able to get a passport, I should feel comparative contentment in remaining here for a Month longer, but the uncertainty depresses me.
Soon after Breakfast this morning I made my call on Gen'l McArthur in town, the first I have met. I found him a very pleasant man, a Scotchman, about 40 years old. I spent over an hour very agreeably with him, but was disappointed in my hopes for Passport, he told me could not just now grant me a passport to pass the lines, that none could be granted now that their Army had occupied Atlanta, so I must be patient, but that he would give me one to go to the North any time I desired it. My disappointment was great, relieved however, by his kindly giving me a pass to go in & out of town whenever I desired, which will be every day I know, so I am now a free man again. My loneliness here was too great for me to quietly to remain, but town Society, as small as it is, will be almost a world to me; the Gen'l says to diminish my loneliness he will also come & see me now & then. I only made one visit in town, to Mr. Goodman, I found [torn] seeing nothing but blue sights ahead. I staid about [torn] him up, he walked part of the way Home [torn] he thinks I am a lucky Man in getting my Passport [torn] one else could get one; I have cause to feel truly grateful to Gen'l McArthur for his kindness, as I now be able to make free visits in town; a privilege which has been denied me in common with all others since the 18th. July. The regulations in town are very stringent & rigidly enforced, no citizen allowed to sell nor buy anything without a permit, & that difficult to get. Mrs. Cassels the Milliner near the Methodist Church was confined for near a month for having sold a dress. I heard in town that Smith, one of the Ros'l factory Wagoners, had been hung by our Scouts at Roswell for becoming a Union man, I cannot however believe the report, if he is hung at all I am sure it must be from additional cause, probably desertion. What a terrible sacrifice of freedom in our War for freedom– God only knows how this sad War is to terminate, & what is to be the state of the country when it shall have closed. I learn that it is too unsafe for any one to try to go over to Roswell, even with a government pass, from the Scouts, deserters & Bushwhackers on the Way. A man was robbed a few miles out of town a few days ago on that Road by some of the straggling Federal soldiers. What a state of Society to live in. I saw today several of the Ros'l fact'y People in town today working there. When going into town I stopped at the Grave yard to examine our Vault, as I had heard some time ago that it had been opened again, & the coffins also opened. I noticed that only the Boxes in which the Coffins were placed had been opened. What will some men not do to get money. I was informed that the vaults had also been opened in the Episcopal Grave Yard.
Rev. Mr. Benedict with his family were sent off to the North today.

Its a dreadful thing to occur because psychologically it can make him debilitating and insecure. I have a ton of friends and still feel that i am alone most of the times. Just because a person has loads of people for company doesn't always mean he is not a loner. In fact he might still feel lonely because those people are not the people who are with you all the time. Apart from siblings who stay in the same residence as you there is no other person who will always be present with you. So with this in mind its fair to say that in-spite of having friends/companions a person can sometimes feel he has no one to be around with. This also leads to a state of depression and withdrawal. So best way to combat this is to keep the flow of activities going to distract you and also believe that in this world there is always someone to support you apart from your family.

The quadcopter above crashed onto White House grounds Jan. 26.
The recent crash of a quadcopter drone on White House grounds came as no surprise to former Secret Service officers, who say the agency has considered the scenario for years. The larger IT question for the Secret Service, and numerous other federal agencies, is determining the amount of resources to expend combating the stealthy and widely used miniature UAVs.
The public spotlight from the White House crash could be an added impetus to address that challenge, according to the former security officials.
The widespread use of commercial drones and the logistical challenges of countering them in an urban setting seem to have made a drone hovering near 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. a matter of not if, but when. Variations on the type of drone that struck a tree on the White House South Lawn on Jan. 26 can fit in the palm of your hand and be bought on Amazon for less than $60.
"The technology and the capabilities are compounding year after year," said Jonathan Wackrow, who retired from the Secret Service in August. "Two years ago no one had quadcopters. Now my son has one."
The Secret Service has been exploring drone mitigation technology for at least five years, according to Wackrow. That work has primarily gone through the service's Technical Security Division, which is in charge of tech development, and has been assisted by the Department of Homeland Security, the service's parent agency. The Secret Service's aircraft security program, most of which is classified, is "one of the most robust programs in government" in terms of funding and capabilities, according to Wackrow, who now heads i4 Strategies, a New York-based consulting firm.
Merkel incident a catalyst
The Secret Service's interest in the security threat posed by commercial drones was magnified by an incident across the Atlantic.
In September 2013, a small quadcopter hovered within feet of German Chancellor Angela Merkel as she spoke at a campaign rally. No one was hurt, but the incident caught the close attention of the Secret Service, which keeps a running tally of commercial drone incidents.
The Merkel episode brought the potential threat from small drones into sharp focus for the Secret Service, according to Wackrow. "That kind of incident really raises the hair on the back of your neck: 'Hey, could this happen here?'" he said.
Within about a month, then-Secret Service Director Julia Pierson convened a meeting with senior DHS officials that focused in part on how to prevent that scenario from happening to President Barack Obama, according to Chris Cummiskey, a former DHS official who attended the meeting.
Attendees studied footage of the Merkel incident while Secret Service officials made a case for putting more money toward counter-measures for detecting and disabling small drones in DHS's next budget request, said Cummiskey, who was then the department's acting undersecretary for management.
While the Merkel episode may have produced more in terms of general attention to the threat than resources to defend against it, Cummiskey said the recent White House drone crash could be more consequential, meaning "an impetus for swifter funding" for technological counter-measures.
But any Secret Service effort to deploy drone-detecting sensors, for example, would be up against a common procurement challenge: a lag time between a threat emerging and a technology deployed to meet it. The Secret Service might get the funding they want in one budget request, but by the next budgeting cycle "we're probably behind the curve" in technology, said Wackrow.
Aviation contractors are hoping to tap the federal demand to help secure agency airspace.
Fred Roggero, a retired Air Force major general who is now an aviation consultant, says federal officials are waking up to the possibility of dealing with ever-smaller drones with more sophisticated technology.
He said his consulting firm, Resilient Solutions, is helping a European defense contractor, which he declined to name, hawk sensors designed to detect tiny drones to federal agencies. Roggero said he also plans to pitch the product to U.S. defense and intelligence agencies.

Engineering firm to add several hundred jobs and expand Charlotte-area headquarters
The engineering firm Corvid Technologies announced Tuesday it will spend $28.9 million to expand its headquarters in Mooresville, where the company plans to add 367 new jobs over the next 12 years.
In a statement released through Gov. Roy Cooper's office, Corvid said its project will include two three-story buildings, a data center for high-performance computing, a mechanics lab and a prototyping lab, all on Corvid's campus off Transco Road near Interstate 77.
In exchange for the local expansion, Corvid is receiving a state incentive package of just over $9 million to be distributed over the next 12 years. The Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG) was approved by the state's Economic Investment Committee earlier Tuesday, Cooper's office said.
State payments to the company will only occur after performance verification by the Departments of Commerce and Revenue that the company has met its job creation and investment targets, Cooper's office added.
Founded in Mooresville in 2004, Corvid provides computational physics analysis to customers in the Defense Department, including Missile Defense Agency, Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines and Special Operations Command. The company also supports ongoing projects for customers in other fields, such as motorsports and U.S. Olympic teams.
The company has satellite offices in Washington, D.C., and Huntsville, Ala., according to Bloomberg.
"The business-friendly climate at the local, county, and state level combined with access to premier engineering talent coming out of the nearby university systems were all major factors in our decision to locate the company headquarters in the area," Corvid CEO David Robinson said in a statement.
Corvid said its Mooresville expansion is intended to position the company to recruit engineers and scientists from top research universities throughout the Carolinas, including N.C. State University, UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke and Clemson.
"North Carolina is the perfect choice for Corvid, thanks to our world-class universities, major military installations, and highly skilled workers," Cooper said.
A Corvid representative could not immediately be reached for comment.

2017 is winding down, and soon we will be in 2018. Some fashion style will come, and some will go. I love watching what becomes popular. Because frankly some things that are popular, I don't get. Here are two trends, that I do not understand.
Fringe to me is like the loose pieces of fabric that you desperately wanted to save. It does have another dimension to the outfit however it gives every outfit a bit of an indie vibe. That's great if you go to Coachella every day, all day; but, if you go to a standard 9 to 5 job than fridge might not be office acceptable.
Fisherman Bags:
Fashion that comes out of necessity can sometimes work. But this accessory reminds me of those see-through, plastic backpacks I rocked in middle school. A great novelty piece but not practical. The fisherman bag can hold a lot, but with the wholes, things might fall out. Plus the slouchy design of it can make any outfit look messy and undone.
But 2018 isn't all bad. We will continue to see long, whimsical, floral dresses that combine a modern world with Victorian romance. As well as trench coats as dresses. No longer will trenchcoats be long and only in khaki. They can be sleeveless, with frills and in all colors. Bring on the fashion and let's all rock 2018 in our best authentic style.

ESTERO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Western Global Airlines:
Statement of Jim Neff
Western Global Airlines
"We are saddened that a person has lost his life by stowing aboard one of our cargo aircraft. As compared to other forms of transportation, stowaways on airplanes are rare, but almost always result in fatality. In most cases airport security prevents this from happening but it should never be attempted for any reason.
"We have been working closely with the Zimbabwean authorities as they fully investigate this situation. We appreciate their professionalism and the care they have shown our crew, our cargo and our aircraft. Along with our customer, Network Airline Management, we express our condolences and support the efforts of the Zimbabwean government. We also appreciate the dedication of our crew, the patience of the South African government while awaiting its shipment and the engagement of the U.S. Embassy in Zimbabwe.
"We are in continuous contact with our crew; when cleared to do so, they will complete the last leg of this charter."
The Western Global Airlines aircraft in question is leased to Network Airline Management, a logistics provider, which was engaged to deliver a diplomatic shipment of South African currency from Munich, Germany to Durban, South Africa on behalf of the South African Reserve Bank. All necessary documentation for the flight and its cargo was in order and in compliance with international law. The aircraft departed Munich, Germany's airport on February 13, 2016 with a crew of three pilots and a mechanic as well as two passengers traveling as couriers for the diplomatic shipment. The aircraft made a refueling stop at Zimbabwe's Harare International Airport approximately nine hours later. During the refueling process, ground crew attending the aircraft noticed unusual streaking on the nose gear and upon further investigation, a deceased male was discovered in a compartment adjacent to the wheel well. At present, the identity or nationality of the deceased is not known.
It is not clear when or how the deceased accessed the aircraft and Western Global is working with authorities to back trace the aircraft's route of travel. There has been no indication that his presence is related to the company or this specific cargo shipment. The company has confirmed that its normal service, safety and security inspections – which meet or exceed all security, maintenance and operational standards – were performed by its maintenance personnel prior to the flight and that cockpit crews conducted exterior walk-arounds prior to departure. The area where the body was found is an area not visible to these inspections and there is no indication the stowaway's presence affected the operation of the aircraft.
Western Global Airlines is a provider of ACMI ("wet lease") and charter services for the world's premier airlines and logistics companies. It is an FAA-certificated Part 121 Boeing Tier One operator with a fleet of ten (10) MD-11 and two (2) B747-400 cargo aircraft and is headquartered in Estero, Florida. All Western Global aircraft are equipped with General Electric engines for maximum performance and reliability.
As an international carrier Western Global operates throughout the world. In the last year it has served 88 airports in 47 countries on 5 continents. Be it in Africa, Europe, Asia, South America or North America, Western Global Airlines is committed to excellence and customer satisfaction. Without exception, each of its customers has become a repeat customer. A primary focus of the company is to serve as an "air bridge" to and from Africa to help connect the continent it to the rest of the world. Western Global enables even remote locations in Africa, with little or no infrastructure or support, to obtain supplies, fight disease, and export their produce and flowers to Europe. The company has extensive experience operating throughout Africa, and has completed dozens of humanitarian missions into West Africa in support of the Ebola eradication effort.
Western Global is privately owned by James K. (Jim) Neff and Sunny Neff. The Neffs have strong corporate backgrounds and significant success in starting, building and running their own entrepreneurial aviation ventures.
