Easier than pull ons
posted 6 years ago
These are good for short term use but do not usually last for long. The velcro tends to wear out and then they come off.
Pros: Easy to put on and take off
Cons: Velcro will wear out

Man pays $16 to take over $330,000 house
The neighbors are outraged, but the Texas resident says his takeover is legal and will eventually give him title to the suburban Dallas home.
We all dream of scoring a great deal on a house.
But a $330,000 house for $16?
Kenneth Robinson of the Dallas suburb of Flower Mound, Texas, says he sealed just such a deal, taking over a vacant house by simply moving in and paying $16 to file documents with the court claiming ownership.
"This is not a normal process, but it is not a process that is not known," he told WFAA-TV in Dallas. "It's just not known to everybody."
Robinson said he invested months in research to find the house. The property had been in foreclosure for more than a year, and the owner walked away. In the meantime, the lender that held the mortgage went out of business.
Robinson says he can take legal title to the house after he lives there for three years through a provision in the law called "adverse possession." Exactly how that works varies state to state.
This is how WFAA explains the situation:
… Robinson said just by setting up camp in the living room, Texas law gives him exclusive negotiating rights with the original owner. If the owner wants him out, he would have to pay off his massive mortgage debt and the bank would have to file a complicated lawsuit.
Robinson believes because of the cost, neither is likely. The law says if he stays in the house, after three years he can ask the court for the title.
Post continues below
The neighbors are outraged that Robinson got a house on their suburban street for $16 and have tried to get the police to arrest him for trespassing or breaking and entering. But Robinson says he had a key to the house, and the police say it's a civil matter, not a criminal case.
Candy Evans of the Dallas real-estate blog Candy's Dirt called a title attorney to ask if Robinson had a chance of holding on to the house. She wrote:
… he told me he seriously doubted that Robinson will get ownership of this home, but he may get a free place to live for several months. The owner of the home will be whoever acquires the assets of the defunct mortgage company, but that company will have to regroup and take legal action against Robinson. And that could take months.
Robinson isn't the first person who has tried to take over an abandoned home by just moving in and claiming adverse possession.
In Seattle, a family was arrested after they moved into an 8,000-square-foot mansion. That family had filed claims to 10 other homes as well. In Florida, three men were arrested on felony charges after trying to take over more than 200 homes, which they planned to rent to tenants. And those are just a few of the efforts nationwide that squatters have made to take over vacant property through one tactic or another.
What do you think? Should Robinson be able to keep the house?
A friend lost a chunk off her lot because of an improperly placed fence, which they did not try to remedy. When the homeowner next door moved out, and the new folks moved in, and still there was nothing done, the friend eventually lost a few feet off their lot.
Always protect your property rights.
We have many laws in force that have loopholes. The laws weren't made with this intent. And as someone else said in this string, just because it's the law, doesn't make it ethical and moral. Yes, he did homework and research and is obviously smart, but he didn't EARN or BUY the house or pay RENT on the house like the rest of us do. He will lose in the end, because the book of loans from the out-of-business lendor will be acquired by another financial institution and he will be out on his rearend. Sadly, it is likely he will do this again, as people like this have to always push the envelope and live outside of what the rest of us know as "normal living or American Society". He knows that what he is trying to do is what the rest of us call "pulling a fast one". I don't wish him luck. I wish him a dose of reality.
This guy thinks this is really gonna work? That "law" was not intended for such a thing! Someone out there owns this house..and will come along and evict him...then he will have that working for him! He has spent alot of time and money to get a law to "bend" in his favor? The law is never on our side...that's for sure! This may have worked years ago...on a piece of unclaimed land or something...but I have not heard of any cases that this has worked in this foreclosure market. Can't this guy just buy a home like the rest of us? Stealing from someone will only get you into trouble!

The Seminole Wekiva Trail, a 14-mile urban, multi-use trail, runs on the former Orange Belt railway line. The trail runs from Markham Road near SR46 on the north end, to SR436 and Laurel Road on the south end.
The north end includes a section of off-road trails that run to the Wekiva River. If you are walking , running or on a mountain bike, is a nice detour.
Almost anytime of the day you find runners, walkers and bikers sharing the trail.
Historic markers dot the north section describing landmarks, mills , citrus packing houses and other industries that once lined the railroad tracks.
The mostly shady trail is a good choice on a day when the heat index is 105, but make sure you take plenty of liquids!

Connecting a Wireless Router to Wired Network
I have a wired linksys router that works fine. I'm not using DHCP on it, its setup at 192.168.1.1. My pc which only has a wired NIC, connects with no problems.
I recently bought a tplink wireless router. I changed it so the ip is now 192.168.1.254 (it was 192.168.0.254 originally which meant I couldnt access settings to change from the default password, SSID).
I got the tplink wireless router, so I wouldnt have to be tethered with a wire on my laptop for internet. However, I've wasted time with tech support which I can barely hear or understand. I'd like to get this working, otherwise I'm sending everything back, wireless router and laptop.
I can ping both the linksys and tplink from my laptop with no problems. I can get connected to the tplink wireless router without a problem but I cannot get to the internet. I don't know what to do.

What you should have purchased is a dedicated wireless access point rather than another router because getting the configuration correct for a dual router set up can be a real pain. You could have also purchased a router with both wired and wireless access.
Even when set up correctly a dual router network can still be unreliable. The required settings might be different depending on which two routers are being used. If you can get the settings correct it may work though.
The link below explains the settings required to basically turn your wireless router into an access point. Let me know if the settings detailed in the link below work out for you.

where you plugging in the wireless router to on the wired router? DON'T plug in to uplink port!
Also, turn off ALL DHCP leasing on the tplink (but if you are trying your new AP then they probably don't have this)
So direct connecting with a wire gets you online however wireless doesn't?
Check your laptop WLAN network settings to make sure you have right IP/gateway/dns settings. Try turning DHCP ON your non-wireless router and use DHCP instead but keep the WAP static.
|My System Specs
|11 May 2012
You will also need to access the A/P's set up page by typing in the name of the A/P or by typing in the IP that was assigned to your A/P by the router. Once you get to the A/P's set up page you can set up the wireless. You will need to set up the SSID "name of network" and come up with a security password. Use WPA2 with AES encryption. The set up instructions should be helpful.
You didn't list the name of your A/P so I can't help much without that information?

I am a holy pally. My guild is 4/5 Hyjal and 3/9 BT. I regularly rank between 2-5 in healing most nights. THe nights that we bring 4 priests though I am always 5th. On fights like Naj in BT I hold my own, but am relegated to MT heal duty. I throw heals around after his bubble bursts, but mainly I spam the tank with Flash of Light and the occasional Holy Light. As we progress in BT I need to start picking up some spell haste gear or I am am going to be completely gimped. I know I can heal with the best healers in my guild or even my server, but there are areas where being a pally cripples me.
Pallies need a POM/Circle type heal. I am not saying it needs to be as effective as the Priest spells, but added utility would be great.
Holy shock needs to be able to be specced into the holy tree for improvements. Also, change the mechanic of having to face the person being healed...not damaged, but healed. Talents for extending it's range, lessening the CD or the mana cost would go a long way to making it a viable instant cast heal. With range being the first priority. I rarely use Holy Shock to heal during a raid but when I do it is pretty useful. I can rip off a 2.5 - 3k Holy Shock then immediately follow it with a 3k Flash of light that's almost 6k heals in a matter of less than 2 seconds. Which at times has saved wipes.
One more thing I'd like to see for pallies is that when you judge a mob that any damage refreshes the judgment. For long boss fights that would be fantastic, but I digress. (AOE Judgments would be rad as well).
So, pallies are not gimped...especially if you know how to play your class, but we definitely need some healing love.
Also, our main tank is a prot pally and a very excellent one at that.
My 2 cents

SHERMAN, TX -- Testimony began in the trial of a man accused of killing his mother and then setting her home on fire.
Jurors watched a videotape with a dramatic confession made by the man, John Saxon, 30, who is charged with killing his mother, Mary Saxon, 47, at her West Loy Lake Road home last October.
Family members say they don't dispute he killed his mother, but they say he didn't know what he was doing. On the videotape, Saxon confesses to driving to his mother's Denison home around 1 a.m. that night from a friend's Southmayd home, and beating her to death with a shovel.
"I do know that Mary Lee was afraid of him at the last," says neighbor Phyllis Mercer. "She had called me and told me that she had to take him down to the VA, but they released him and said he was not a threat."
Family members say the month before the murder, John Saxon spent three days at the VA hospital in Dallas, where they changed his combination of drugs for post-traumatic stress disorder.
They say that after a first deployment to Iraq in 2003, his second tour around 2007 -- where he went from a Bradley tank driver to a gunner, and was in combat -- changed him.
"He had bought a home, raising his three kids, had a job, was doing very well, and then received a letter from the military to come back in, called him back in after three years and the second tour he was over there just did not come back the same John," says relative Barry Walker.
On Tuesday, a Grayson County deputy testified that when he got the call about a murder and fire, he sent another unit over to this house to check it out and they found that it was on fire. He says when he arrived in Southmayd, Saxon immediately admitted to the crime.
"He's guilty of what he did, there's no questioning of who did what, the question was is he in his right mind and no he wasn't," says Walker.
In a second videotape taken at the Children's Advocacy Center, a four-year-old nephew who Saxon admits to pulling from Mary's bed that night said that John Saxon set it on fire using a lighter.
Mary Saxon's friend still remembers the night the fire trucks came, but no ambulance, and what Mary once told her about her son. "She told me she was really proud John was going in the Army, but then of course she said, I'm worried about him being in the Army, going to maybe Iraq," says Mercer.
Texas Ranger Brad Oliver showed jurors two spade-like shovels and two knives recovered from the burnt house, and according to a Dallas coroner, Mary Saxon was stabbed twice in the neck and had blood on her brain that would be consistent with beating by a shovel.
At the beginning of the confession, John Saxon mentions that he believes his mother was injecting him with needles in his armpits, but authorities believe that did not happen.
Testimony in the case will continue on Wednesday and prosecutors say they believe the trial could go to the jury by Thursday. Saxon is charged with both murder and arson.

I have had the same issue as you and have read quite a few messages from other customers having this issue. I have contacted customer support and they have not yet suggested anything that actually works….
I am seriously considering other printing companies and I don't think I'll be using Blurb in the future…
I'm having the same problems uploading via Booksmart over the past 2 weeks and have had a few suggestions from Blurb email support (which has been relatively quick – thank you), as well as following the FAQs, but nothing has worked. I've probably tried uploading now over a dozen times.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Booksmart a couple of times, turned off firewall and antivirus software. I even opened a new account in the hope that may magically solve the issue. I usually have no problem uploading large files from my computer so I'm really stumped on this one.
Has anyone had problems uploading and then managed to solve them? what worked? Any "out of the box" solutions to suggest?

I just went thru trying to upload a book 5 times yesterday, 120 pages and it almost makes it thru the whole thing and then I get the same messages as you people. I have talked to my internet provider and have had no interuptions of service, I have circumvented my wireless by hooking my laptop up directly to my internet modem, I have talked to my internet security provider – they see no problem, and I have backed up my book to an external hard drive then loaded it from there on to a different laptop and then tried to upload it from the second laptop and it still loads all my photos and pages but then stops uploading when it is almost done uploading my 323 mb file. So I am not having problems connecting with Blurb or starting the upload – just finishing. It seems to me it must be a problem with their server cutting out. I did send off a report to Blurb but haven't heard back.
The only thing I haven't tried is disabling my internet security software – but I don't see why that would be an issue if I almost get done uploading and then it stops. Seems to me if my problem was with my security software I would have a problem uploading from the start? Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I've had a failed upload 3 times… but 4th time lucky. I'm sharing my experience in case it helps others. I'm uploading from a laptop and the first 3 times I left it uploading and went away from the computer and did something else only to come back and find it failed – at a different upload page each time.
4th time lucky and this time I sit and watch it upload while using the computer, e.g. browsing the web etc. This time the upload was fine. I can only imagine the failure on the first 3 attempts was due to the laptop entering a lower power state while I was away from it
If you're having problems uploading from a laptop then you might want to stay and watch the upload in case that is the issue!

I am thinking that it is just as the previous person has mentioned that after so long your computer goes into a low power state. I just changed my settings on my computer to never sleep and hopefully this will not interrupt my upload. And also, I do believe inactivity is another consideration. It could be your internet times out after so long of your computers inactivity. Not sure, but will be sticking around my computer to make sure it uploads this time. The 3rd time around after watching for an hour twice and then I walk away and it times out. Very frustrating! But we will get it to work somehome, as I love Blurb Books and I always do large books and no one else can beat the price of large book compared to Blurb and the quality is just perfectly fine to me! Good luck to everyone else, too!
Glad to know I'm not on my own, but does anyone have a solution to the uploading problem? Uploading smaller books isn't a problem, so it's nothing to do with firewalls that I can see. I set my computer to full power, no low power mode, no sleep mode, but my large book is taking 8 hours to upload, am I supposed to watch it? For 8 hours? But why, nothing changes by watching it, it just takes a long time because it's a large file. It keeps going, says it's done, you go to Blurb and there's no new book! Frankly I could cry, so much work, so many recommendations to others about Blurb, so much trust that it works. Looking for alternatives. Is it not possible to save to a disk and send it?!

Hi cari4cariad,
Sorry to hear you are having trouble uploading. It may help if you contacted support for more assistance. As this thread is just about 5 years old I am going to lock it from further posting. Feel free to start a new thread about something else.

Bensmithing GOP Minority Outreach
January 20, 2013 | Filed Under Anti-Americanism, Buzzfeed, Democrats/Leftists, Ethics, GOP, John Boehner, Journalism, Liberals, Media, Media Bias, Progressives, Republicans, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off
-By Warner Todd Huston
The GOP-as-racists narrative continues on Buzzfeed with a piece today focused on the minority outreach being planned by National Republican Campaign Committee Chairman Greg Walden.
Reporting for Buzzfeed on Walden's appearance at a recent GOP retreat, John Stanton reports only on Walden's comments about new plans to get more minority candidates and to try and appeal more to minority voters.
But any look at the GOP National Convention last year would have revealed any number of minority candidates. Indeed, one of the most talked about new Senators is Florida's Marco Rubio.
Rubio was joined by Texas colleague Ted Cruz this year, as well. Not to mention South Carolina's Tim Scott.
To name just a few others, the GOP also had an amazing candidate from Utah named Mia Love and Indiana's Second District sent a very impressive woman named Jackie Walorski to Congress.
Of course the GOP has to communicate its ideals and policy plans better to minorities. But this Buzzfeed story is more about continuing the Old Media narrative that the GOP are racists that just can't appeal to minorities than it is about reporting any news.
This is just a tactic to slam Republicans before they even make their next effort to reach out to minorities, an effort to lead readers into the long-held, left-wing contention that Republicans will never convince minorities to join them in a campaign for true equality.

A white eyeliner pencil is the surprisingly versatile makeup product you probably never knew you needed. Kim Kardashian has been wearing it for years, and recently it was white eyeliner that was a stand out makeup trend on the Spring 2013 international runways.
Investing in a white eye liner pencil gives you countless options in what you can do. Here are 5 tips for making your white eyeliner investment worth while…
1. White eyeliner on the inner waterline of the eye brightens the eyes making them appear larger
2. For a quick wake-me-up, a v-shape application in the corner of the eyes will brighten and make the eyes look more vibrant and awake.
3. Use under the brows and then smudge to highlight. This will define and lift the brow.
4. Use white eyeliner as a base for your eye shadow. This will make the eyeshadow colour appear more vibrant and true to colour.
5. Use your white eyeliner pencil as a concealer to cover red spots. Colour over the blemish and then blend with your proper concealer to give better coverage.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm an officer in a medium-sized casual raiding guild that consist mainly of friends or friend's friends. We've been on the loosing side of this guildswitch-mania for about two-three weeks now. It has really burnt out all chances we ever had of getting a guild 25-man raid going (one of the leavers even mentioned in his recruitment post to another guild that we never stood a chance, which insulted us quite a bit).
We've gotten back to our feet somehow, despite everything that has happened. We are starting anew, now abandoning the idea of ourselves as raiders and focusing on being friends and helping eachother. All the loot-whores we thought as friends can go and do whatever they please.
What I'm trying to say by telling you this: Don't give up, and think of why you started your guild in the first place: if you started it thinking you'll be the number 1 guild on your server, you probably are screwed, but if you started like we did, to have good company and some casual raiding/instancing fun, just try to get back to your roots. Live your own dreams, not someone else's. Easy epax is any fun only until you find out it's no use (and that no use -phase will be here in only few short months anyway).
Bentwhisker said...
I understand your frustration, but please don't bash people who like to raid as "loot whores" whose efforts are in vain because their gear will be replaced in WotLK.
That's not why I raid - I raid to see content, and I want to do it before the xpac. Just because your guild is struggling to do that doesn't mean that all other successful raiding guilds are all a bunch of arseholes.
I sympathize with the people leaving "non-progressing" guilds. They are not acting like loot whores, they just cant stand to beat their heads against the same content with no progression. If people are leaving your guild because your not progressing, take a step back and figure out why your not moving. Is it your leadership, your raider core? determine the problem and fix it, don't bash those that made the decision to move on, it only makes you the worse person.
You see, these people were perfectly happy with what we were doing before. One of the people leaving was actually our raid leader. I am frustrated, yes. But what else is that? I feel justified to feel the way I do. Sorry, if you feel guilted by my comment.
You see, the problem was never us officers, never the gm. I took part in 90% of the raids, as did most of our core raiding group. All of these people who left belonged to the core group. The problem was, that we weren't big enough name... that we didn't attract people who wanted fast progress. Our server is old, so there's lots of those "good old guilds" with steady progression and lots of applicants... who never want a smaller, but eager guild.
(That first post, and this too... they're MY pre-Wrath rant. Don't spoil it for me :p)
And by the way... We only became a non-progressing guild AFTER they left... Before that we'd been progressing (slowly but) steadily.

EVENT - noun; Something that happens or is regarded as happening; an occurrence, especially one of some importance.
Events are big.
The word "event" used to really mean something in the mainstream comic industry. All these different sections of the Marvel or DC universe would come together to take on a massive threat bigger than any one hero could handle. Sure, there was connectivity between titles on a regular basis, but when Captain America and Iron Man or Green Lantern and Flash met within their own books, it was to handle stuff that could plausibly be handled by one or both of them. These teamups were also a chance to show humanity and personality through teamwork. That's not really the goal of an event.
Here's basically what an event is: "Everybody stop doing the shit you're doing in your own books while we all jump at the big thing that's gonna (ultimately not) kill us! Sure, that's a pretty stupid idea, but while we're doing this, there's a smaller group that's doing another thing that'll save the day! Also, one of us is probably gonna die for a while!"
Long as you follow the basic structure of that paragraph, you've got an event. It's a simple, single-line story blown up to Bruckheimerian proportions, where sound and fury signify everything. Bad guy kills half the universe. Good guys have to fight other good guys. Aliens are taking over the planet. etc.
Events can be great…it's always cool to see your favorite characters in-fighting and getting the shit kicked out of the them before banding together. I'm not in the event demo. I like small, weird, personal stories. I get kinda bored when it sounds like all the characters are screaming THEME! THEME! THEME! THEME! instead of plausible dialogue. That puts me in the minority, I know. But I also think it made me ideally suited to help on Greg Pak's event, WORLD WAR HULK.
Keep in mind, it's hard enough getting a good single issue of a monthly comic (that doesn't tie into anything) finished up and sent to the printer, without any major story hiccups or ego clashes. It's an absolute miracle when an huge event-style book comes out and doesn't read like how a McDonald's hamburger tastes. There's a saying, "Too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the broth." When you're doing an event comic, there's not just a lot of cooks; There's a couple dozen construction specialists determining the best way to modify the kitchen AROUND the broth.
The fact that Greg made such a fun event miniseries is a testament to his determination of character, and acceptance of a shitload of notes. I don't want to speak a lot about PLANET HULK here (cuz I'm gonna do an entry on it later), but WORLD WAR HULK had the unique luxury of spinning directly out of one book: INCREDIBLE HULK. Greg wrote over a year of stories about Hulk being shot off into space by The Illuminati, then rose to power on the planet of Sakaar. He defeated evil oppressors, chose a new wife, knocked her up…everything was aces. Then BOOM—his ship exploded, killing pabillions, including his wife and child (cough). Hulk thinks the Illuminati planted the bomb to kill him. The explosion and trauma pump Hulk's strength to a never-before-seen degree, so he heads back to Earth with his space posse to whup some Illuminati ass.
All that stuff's pretty straightforward, right? Guy's dangerous, guy gets sent away, guy finds a new place to live, guy loses that place, guy comes back for revenge. And NOW it's revenge time, which should be even straightforward tale to tell, right?
You would not BELIEVE the cacophony of thoughts, double-thoughts, extra ideas, theme beliefs, continuity discussions, marketing strategies, co-star negotiation, timeline planning, moral repercussions, tie-in possibilities, casting politics…An event is not just a comic book. It is a forum discussion for everyone involved to state an idea that is very possibly the best idea ever…times 46. A lot of it's necessary. You can't let writers do whatever they want with characters that aren't theirs. Events are high-profile, big-profit books, and the "important" people want to have their say on the big stuff, especially if new status quo's spin out of them.
I'm not anti-collaboration. I'm really not. I believe that if a project needs a lot of notes, a TON of notes, then bring on the notes. First drafts can be half-made statues that need a hell of a lot of chiseling. I just get wary when I hear a note that's not a note about a story, but is said for the purpose of changing the story to better suit the notegiver's style, or is said for the purposes of political maneuvering, or is said because of a story contradiction from 1967. Just makes me queasy.
So there were a bunch of notes. From the initial idea, to the simple plot, to the issue-by-issue breakdown to the script to the next version of the script to the NEXT version of the script. My boss (Mark) and I took all these notes and gave them to Greg. For the life of me, I don't know how he managed to make it all work. The reason I suspect is…
Greg Pak REALLY cares about Bruce Banner. I bet he wouldn't be offended by me saying that Greg subconsciously (or consciously) thinks he IS Bruce Banner. A genius that's among the smartest people in every room in which he sits, but can't always express it. Banner became Hulk, Pak became a writer.
One of my favorite things to hear while working at Marvel was when Greg would come into the office, look up at the ceiling, play with his pencil, and tell you EVERYTHING that Banner is thinking and why. I don't dare try to remember and write Greg's Banner psychoanalysis here, for fear that I'll misquote and get sent a polite but stern email from him, correcting my errors. But Greg made Banner, and Hulk, a real person. An emotionally and physically injured and tortured man that wants to be left alone, then finds peace with the ones he loves, then loses those people, then wants to destroy those that took his peace away. It's a never-ending cycle of unhappiness with Bruce, and Greg never let you forget that. World War Hulk is a big story, but Greg sweated the small stuff.
I have written a billion words without saying anything about John Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson, two of the most fun and professional guys in the comic business. Johnny is the rare penciler that can produce four pages in a day. His quality and speed are incredible. But the byproduct of that quality and speed is that he must call someone every day to complain about what he's gotta draw THIS time. I was that person during World War Hulk.
The following is a good example of one of our seven daily conversations:
(ring ring)
ME: Hello?
JOHNNY: What da hell am I drawin' all these helicoptas for?
ME: Well…
JOHNNY: 'Page 14, Panel 2…da sky is filled with choppers descending upon Madison Square Garden. ' What da hell is this Pak guy thinkin'?
ME: He's probably thinking 'I've got John Romita Jr. drawing my book and I can't wait to see what amazing stuff he comes up with.'
JOHNNY: Geez.
ME: You can do it, Johnny.
JOHNNY: Of course I can. I just don't wanna.
Then I'd make fun of his earring, then he'd hang up. An hour later, he'd fax (yes, FAX) in a beautiful shot of a billion helicopters descending upon the Garden. Comics need 500 more John Romita Jr's. And Klaus? The man inked over Frank What's-His-Name (the guy that did Daredevil a long time ago). Dude is a MASTER of texture, page design, everything that goes into the making of an effective comic page.
I learned SO much while working on this book. Learned patience, humility, what it looks like when powerful people don't get their way because they've been overridden by more powerful people. I learned the fewer fingerprints on a book, the more personal it's likely to be. And I learned that an event, no matter how big or sweeping or "important" or "ground-breaking" it is, it won't be remembered unless you've got an inspired creative team that can see past themselves and a writer that'll pour his/her heart into a character's journey, and'll bleed for the story.
Mr. Pak squeezed every drop of green blood into WORLD WAR HULK.
Random Stuff:
-So the "big" fight in WWH is Hulk vs. Sentry. This was originally supposed to be where Thor came back to life, and he'd be the most equal opponent for the Worldbreaker Hulk. But stuff happened, schedules shifted, etc. So it changed to Sentry (or as he's known by Native Americans, "Hits Like Superman, Cries Like Wussy").
-I designed as simple a recap as humanly possible. Greg did such a great job of recapping the events that took place in Planet Hulk that I didn't want to start the book out on a repetitive note. Credits and the origin of the Hulk. That's all you need to know.
-Greg is, let us say, meticulous, when it comes to final dialogue. In WWH and several issues of Planet Hulk, we went through four, five, sometimes seven passes at lettering. It worked out fine, but there were times when Chris Eliopoulos & Joe Caramagna dreamed of plucking out Pak's beard hairs wuuuuuuun at a time.
-The Marvel Talent Management Department told me that the selection of colorist for World War Hulk would have to be approved by John Romita Jr., and that he was INCREDIBLY picky about colorists. One day Johnny came in the office. I handed him a copy of Runaways. Then this happened:
ME: Whatcha think about this colorist coloring you on World War Hulk?
JOHNNY: Who's dis?
ME: Christina Strain.
JOHNNY: She cute?
ME: Yeah.
JOHNNY: Let's do it.
Swear to God, that's what happened. (Note: He was kidding. Johnny's NOT a sexist. Nicest, sweetest man with a lovely wife whom he treats like a queen. I just thought it was funny that THIS was the approval conversation.)
-Johnny hates—HATES—drawing helicopters. And seats.
-Klaus Janson is one of only a handful of inkers that still comes to the Marvel offices to drop off inked pages. He comes in, makes copies, gives us the pages, goes to Ralph Macchio's office for a chat.
-Johnny's not known for drawing small. Greg's script for Issue 1 was around twenty-seven pages. Johnny stretched it to forty-two pages. He…wanted the story to breathe a bit.
-I was incredibly hung over the day WWH #1 went to the printer (you'll notice this as a pattern in these posts). Could barely see straight, everything was fuzzy. But right before we sent the book out, I noticed that one of the double-page fight scenes between Hulk and Iron Man was fuzzier than the others. Turns out it was low-res and would've printed even worse if I hadn't caught it. From there on I learned my lesson: Always be hung over when editing.
-Finch is fine, but I prefer the variant covers that Johnny, Klaus & Christina did. WWH #1 Variant is the ONLY book I ever asked any creator to sign. I had the entire creative team (EVERYone, including Eliopoulos, Paniccia, Brad) sign it. I'll cherish it forever. Or sell it on eBay someday. Definitely one of the two.
-Couple months after WWH ended, Johnny would still call me to complain about other projects he was working on. I listened to his pain, and in return he agreed to do the cover for DAMAGE CONTROL #2, featuring, yes, a bulldog. THEN he helped talk his dad into doing DAMAGE CONTROL #3's cover. THEN Johnny gave me his original cover art as a gift. Classy guy, that Johnny. (the cover's framed and on my wall)
-World War Hulk's why I don't care for Iron Man very much. He doesn't seem very nice.
-This issue is the origin place for the sound effects that became famous in Greg and Fred Van Lente's INCREDIBLE HERCULES. Greg had a tendency to do the same SFX every time (KRAKOOM, etc). Since there was so much fighting, I wanted to switch it up a little. So I suggested more…colorful SFX. I sat at my desk making ridiculous sounds, then tried to spell them. KRAKKABATHROOM came about when I was waiting on a phone call and REALLY needed to pee. After we crossed that line, I felt free to get even sillier. Go back through all the issues and you'll find all sorts of dirty words and inside jokes, as well as the initials of the entire creative team during the Hulk vs. Sentry fight. Absolutely equal (if not greater) credit goes to the world's best letterer, Chris Eliopoulos, for designing the hell out of every stupid-ass non-word I told him to put on the art. He's the one that came up with GRRGPAK! in Issue 5.
-Aaaaaas always, really appreciate any feedback, what you like, what you don't, what you'd like to see more of in these posts. Happy to hear anything you think about them, it helps me decide what to mention and what to leave out.

A clean-up operation was underway today after a giant redwood tree in North-West Berkeley exploded after being struck by lightning during a storm on Monday, sending large chunks of wood flying all over the neighborhood. Nearby homes and cars sustained damage, and some witnesses said wood debris landed as far as two blocks away from the site of the tree at 1430 Holly Street (at Buena Avenue).
Fortunately nobody was injured during the dramatic incident, although during the same storm lightning struck 31-year-old Emily Davis as she was crossing Adeline Street about two miles south of the site of the tree. … Continue reading »
Lightning strikes Berkeley tree, sends wood chunks flying
A giant redwood tree in North Berkeley was struck by lightning at around 1:15 p.m. today and "exploded" sending chunks of wood flying in all directions, according to authorities.
Several windows and skylights in nearby homes were broken out, but there were no reported injuries, according to Berkeley Deputy Fire Chief Avery Webb who estimated the redwood, which is at the intersection of Holly Street and Buena Avenue, had been reduced in size from 70 ft to about 25 ft.
Listen to today's thunder in this recording, made at around 1:15 p.m., shared with us by Will Galloway:
City will replace 70-foot destroyed redwood with oak tree
Two months after a contractor irreparably damaged the root system of a towering redwood tree that was slated to be the centerpiece of the garden at the West Branch library, the trustees of the Berkeley Public Library Board are on the verge of selecting another species to take its place.
The BOLT Board is expected on Wednesday night to select a Cork Oak tree to be the "signature" tree in the garden of the West Branch Library at 1125 University Avenue, currently being rebuilt. The Cork Oak , a native of Portugal, can grow about 40 feet high and 40 feet wide, according to John N. Roberts, a landscape architect working with Harley Ellis Devereaux, the architects on the branch reconstruction project. … Continue reading »

Eddie Vedder Joined by Daughter on New Charity Song 'Skipping'
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder has contributed a gentle new acoustic ballad to the 'Every Mother Counts 2012' benefit album.
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder has contributed a gentle new acoustic ballad to the 'Every Mother Counts 2012' benefit album.
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder is one of many guest musicians that will appear on the upcoming album 'Blow Your Pants Off' from late night funnyman Jimmy Fallon.
On his late-night talk show Thursday night, Jimmy Fallon channeled Eddie Vedder to sing a tribute to New York Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin. Fallon reworked the lyrics to Pearl Jam's classic 'Jeremy' to reflect the 'Linsanity' that has taken over the NBA the past few weeks.
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder has revealed plans for a 13-city solo U.S. tour that will see him playing multiple shows in Texas and Florida.
From post-grunge rock stars to karaoke singers, people all over the world have been imitating Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder's pained growl since the turn of the '90s. Most people think that there's really only one true Vedder, but to those people, we point you to Javier Diaz.
Funnyman Jimmy Fallon was at it again, and this time Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder was his co-pilot!
Foo Fighters and Eddie Vedder are among the big-name acts performing at the 2011 Bridge School Benefit Concert taking place Oct. 22 and 23 at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, Calif.
Sept. 20 needs to be christened "Pearl Jam Day." Why? Because the grunge icons are not only releasing their documentary, 'Pearl Jam Twenty,' but they are also issuing an accompanying two-disc soundtrack that Pearl Jam fans will no doubt want to add to their collections. The band just issued all the pertinent details and lucky fans will be treated to a double disc and a doc in one day.
As we reported earlier, the West Memphis Three -- three men who served 18 years in prison for the murder of three boys -- were freed today (Aug. 19) after years of support from various music artists who felt they were wrongly convicted.

So Android is winning market share? Think again.
Stumbled upon this Apple Core forum post this morning: I think Apple has defeated Android in its "thermonuclear war".
Everybody knows that Android has a much higher market share than iOS. However, does that mean Android has won the platform war? It depends on the question of "What is the most important goal for a platform?" There are many important goals to achieve other than market share, such as profits, advertising revenue, profits to develepers and more. It has been widely believed that achieving a single goal of getting high market share will automatically help the platform to achieve other goals. Contrary to this common belief, according to John Kirk from techpinions.com, market share is only ONE are where Android is ahead of iOS
Here are a few other goals worth mentionning where iOS is clearly winning:
- Mobile market profits
- Adoption of system updates
- Accessories market
- Apps quality
- Ecosystem contents (iTunes,iBookstore,AppStore,iTunesU)
- Profits to developers
- Monetization
- Ads revenues
- BYOD (enterprise adoption too)
- User retention
Android market share is remarkable but not very profitable.

Island Dispute Plays Havoc in China's Car Market
Peter is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Toyota (NYSE: TM) has recalled 7.4 million vehicles from around the world, about the same number as the total units sold in the previous fiscal year, over defective window switches. This would be the world's second biggest vehicle recall ever, behind Ford's (NYSE: F) 8 million recall about sixteen years ago.
Although the cost of the recall won't be available until the next earnings report but a new political dispute threatens its sales in China. The three leading Japanese vehicle manufacturers, Toyota, Honda (NYSE: HMC) and Nissan (NASDAQOTH: NSANY.PK), have reported a drop in monthly sales in China as the territorial dispute over a group of Islands called Senkaku (Japanese) or Diaoyu (Chinese) intensifies; this prompted Chinese consumers to boycott Japanese cars. Nissan generates 26% of its global sales in China, followed by Honda with 20% and Toyota with 10%. Any drop in sales numbers from this region is going to significantly impact the income statement, particularly for Nissan.
The cause of dispute is the potentially massive reserves of oil reportedly located beneath and around the islands. The Japanese Premier believes that Senkaku is a part of his country's "inherent territory." On the other hand, China thinks that its combined oil reserves in the South and the disputed East China Sea are as big as Saudi Arabia's, which will be enough for the country for about half a century. The dispute has existed for decades, but the current row was instigated by Japan after it purchased the islands from their owners. Both countries are in desperate need of securing oil and gas reserves for the future.
Interestingly, very little oil and gas exploration work has been carried out over the area in the past decade; therefore, the actual quantity of reserves remains a mystery, with China claiming 160 billion barrels and the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimating just 100 million barrels. However, after observing the rift this tiny area has caused, it would be prudent to assume that the actual reserves are somewhere in between.
Any political dispute between two of the world's largest economies is bound to have economic repercussions. The Japanese automobile industry is emerging as the biggest victim of the quarrel. According to JPMorgan Chase, Japanese vehicle sales to China can drop by as much as 70% in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. They have already lost nearly 0.4 percentage points of the total market share, which fell to 21.2% in August. This has created an opportunity for German and Korean firms, whose combined market share increased by 2.3 percentage points in the same period. Moreover, it can also create opportunities for US based vehicle manufacturers, such as Ford or General Motors (NYSE: GM), which is staking the future of the firm's growth on China.
Ford has a very small market share in China, around 3%, but GM treats China like one of its primary markets. It has a $1 billion annual investment plan for the country. Last month, GM and its Chinese partner SAIC Motor opened the $250 million state of the art 1,400 acre automobile test track near Shanghai. Until 2010, GM's market share in China was an impressive 12.7%, which it increased even further to 13.6% in 2011. Last year, it sold 2.5 million vehicles, while this year it has already crossed the 2 million mark. The current Islands crisis has presented a unique opportunity for growth to the company.
On the other hand, the past couple of years have been challenging for the Japanese automobile industry due to the earthquake, tsunami and the global financial crisis. The row comes at a particularly bad time for Toyota and Honda after the manufacturers were putting up strong numbers due to increasing car sales (despite the strengthening yen). Toyota, until August, was expecting record shipments of 9.76 million units, a 23% annual increase with production breaking the 10 million units benchmark, the first time ever for any automobile manufacturer in the world.
Through the first half of the current year, Toyota, Honda and Nissan were up 21.7%, 13.4% and 6.9% respectively. The second half now threatens to wipe out the gains with the three's shares dropping by 7%, 13.5% and 11% respectively. Overall, since January, Toyota's stock is up 13.2% while Honda and Nissan's are down 1.9% and 4.9%.
As mentioned earlier, Toyota is relatively safe from the dispute as 1) China is not its biggest market and 2) the company has attributed increasing sales units from the US and local market due to the Japanese government's incentives for fuel efficient vehicles, which has spurred local demand as well as the strength of their brand in the U.S. GM and Chrysler have years of work to do to rebuild trust with a large number of U.S. consumers.
Out of the three Japanese firms, Nissan has offered the highest return on assets and equities and has a lower P/E, which means investors won't pay a premium for it like they will for Toyota. China is the one market where Nissan is stronger than Toyota and Honda and has the most to lose going forward if this situation escalates. Honda's strength in 2-wheeled vehicles and its geographically diverse production base make it a more defensive play on Asian growth.
Despite Toyota's climb, it has little to offer in terms of return on assets and equities and gives a smaller yield as compared to its rival, so value investors are likely not interested. Its powerful brand, coupled with the share hike in the first half has pushed the P/E to almost twice as much as GM, which has a higher ROA and ROE. However, the returns of Japanese firms were greatly affected last year. For the previous quarter, Toyota, Honda and Nissan have significantly higher ROE of 11%, 12% and 9.3% respectively.
Toyota is the best growth bet due to strong branding, even in the U.S. The U.S. manufacturers simply have a lot of work to do to regain trust outside of pickup trucks. Honda, again, is a defensive option after Toyota due to its diversified portfolio of products and strong 2-wheeler presence in Southeast Asia. Ford may capitalize on this Chinese-Japanese rift somewhat; its large exposure to Europe poses a challenge amid the debt crisis. GM is the one who stands to gain the most from this of any foreign manufacturers.
However, both China and Japan have recently decided to hold talks over the dispute, which could resolve the issue, but it has inflamed old passions that will take time to subside.

In order to give him a little bit of momentum heading into the Survivor Series, Alberto Del Rio was given a victory over Santino Marella on WWE Main Event this week.
There are those backstage that were disappointed with Royal Rumble 2014, as many feel that there were not enough highlight spots during the match. Kofi Kingston was praised for doing his best to produce memorable moments, but very few others were able to stand out. Jamie Noble, the agent in charge of the match, has backstage heat because of that.
On screen, Jamie Noble was forced to retire from professional wrestling after a vicious assault from Sheamus, but in reality, he is just stepping side as an in ring performer, in order to focus on his new job as a producer for WWE. Noble was heavily praised for putting over a younger star on his way out.

We're away but I'm hoping there are some good movies on the plane (I'm like the girl in the Castle, that just talks about the movies on the plane, rather than the actual trip). I will, however, be BUSTING to see The Avengers (yep, I'm 12) and Dark Shadows, the minute they open!
Are you off to the Lorax? Pirates? Something more grown up?
PS For those in Sydney, Hugh Grant will be at Fox, 1.30 pm on the 7th April, if that's your thing....(not my thing, but they also have ducks dressed up and that is VERY much my thing!!)
I think so - they didn't come into the house all excited (part of me gets annoyed that they don't see going to the movies as a big deal...I am old!) but they said it was good. I'll have to do catch up movies once school goes back...(thanks for the Mirror Mirror review...will get to that too!)
I am happy to report I saw Mirror Mirror yesterday and it's a great film. Littlies were giggling like mad across the cinema, and there were just as many chuckles from us big kids. It's a fab, old fashioned fun tale (with great costumes and a wickedly funny Julia Roberts).
@mello - no fair on missing out of Wrath of the Titans! Did your kids enjoy it?
@Voluptacon, you'll still have to go - people tell me movies are good and they're terrible, so it probably works both ways....
Kids are off to see Wrath and somehow I missed out??? Hmmm, not sure how that happened!
Mello. Being a retired pirate myself I do love all things pirate :)I was hoping that A Dangerous Method was going to be good. Dang.
clarification: Will see Mirror Mirror too, as matter of course, but Huntsman is the one I'm keen for and I think Depp is good looking, just couldn't work out which of the new guys was meant to be good looking...;)
@Icrowland, I also want to see Wrath, even tho I thought Clash was a bit lame - but the ad looks good!! (I truly am a sucker :)...I want to see Huntsman over Mirror Mirror - funny how they both are coming out at the same time.
@bobbycarol, I saw the billboard for that and wondered which one was meant to be Johnny Depp? (neither are particularly good looking to me!)
@leisa1, try Series 7 - and def not for the kiddies....
@Voluptacon, who doesn't like pirates? Any pirate movie is good in my book! (Heard some bad reviews on Dangerous method, done brilliantly but doesn't work)
For the first time in ages, I'm really excited about what's on at the movies at the moment. Little kids, big kids - everyone's happy (me especially since it means popcorn). Pretty much everything mentioned here I'll be wanting to watch. Great selections, ladies. Gah! How's a girl supposed to choose?
You can check out previews of the latest releases here (and for DVDs for when you can't leave the house):
Best school holiday movies: April 2012
Mirror Mirror, Hunger Games, Wrath of the Titans, Avengers, The Lorax - Phew! I want to see them all. Does anyone else?
I recently saw 21 Jump St, it was a little OTT with the fake action etc but did give me a laugh in some parts. It was also good to see the old 21 Jump St characters throughout the movie, even though they were much better actors in the good old days.
I remember sneaking out of bed to watch the 21 Jump St series when I was 10! I loved Johnny Depp and still do. However, I was disappointed with this role in this movie.
Just saw 'The Hunger Games' on the weekend. First child free night out in a while. It was good, but not as good as I was expecting. A bit on the gringe worthy side too, definitely not one for the kiddies.

Rightware, the leader in embedded user interface (UI) technologies and benchmarking software tools, today introduced Browsermark 2.0 – a free to use benchmark designed from the ground up to measure and compare the performance of any browser on any internet enabled device including desktops, notebooks, tablets, smartphones and more.
In addition to measuring general browsing functionality tests like page loading, page resizing and conformance testing for HTML5 and network speed, Browsermark 2.0 also features 4 new areas of testing: WebGL, Canvas, HTML5, and CSS3/3D.
"We are all frustrated with the performance of our browser, based on the device we are web browsing on, and continually ask, 'Am I expecting too much from my tablet?'" said Tero Sarkkinen, CEO of Rightware. "Browsermark answers that question for you! This simple-to-run test will help you decide which browser provides the best web experience for your device. In addition to measuring your own device, consumers can check out the latest results of many devices in our Power Board online database. We believe these two technologies will help to improve the user experience on every device."
All of the data will be uploaded to Rightware's Power Board online database. Power Board gathers and maintains all of the official benchmarking data from all of the company's benchmarking tools. Power Board allows access to benchmarking data of graphics, system, multicore, browser and user interface performance of various devices which are running different operating systems and hardware.
Rightware is the provider of the world's most widely adopted benchmarking software for mobile and tablet devices and automotive systems. Rightware's famous Basemark products are developed within the industry's most impartial and transparent benchmark development program. This program was done in close cooperation with leading mobile phone manufacturers, semiconductor companies and operators to ensure the most reliable and objective benchmark products.
Information for Editors and Benchmarkers
Browsermark measures browser performance by executing a variety of carefully studied tests in the browser; Browsermark scores are not influenced by Internet connection speed or latency.
Browsermark takes 4 minutes to run during which time it evaluates the browser's performance with the following tests: rendering, WebGl, HTML5 video, HTML5 web worker, data manipulation, DOM operations and text parsing.
Browsermark scores are in operations per second. When a browser (A) scores twice as much as another browser (B) on the same device it means that for a given test either:
- Browser A ran twice as many operations as browser B in the same time period, or
- Browser A ran the test in half the time as browser B
By choosing a browser with a high Browsermark score, you are ensuring a faster and smoother web experience within the limitations of your Internet connection speed. When choosing between several devices, such as tablets or smart-phones, a higher Browsermark score in one device indicates a more powerful and faster CPU and GPU than in a lower scoring device.
