This is the time of the year that we collate all the pearls collected during the various Heavy Chef Sessions we hosted in 2009 – as well as from our team that is working on various high-profile online projects in the United Kingdom and South Africa. Looking back allows us to learn the lessons, apply the wisdom from conversations with some of the smartest people in the industry, and look forward with confidence.
Here are our top 12 predictions for 2009
Digital Strategy:
1. The Return of the Creatives
2008 was very much about trial and error. Small companies and big corps were all dipping their toes in digital waters, from blogs to Facebook Profiles to crowdsourcing to lifestreaming. "If you build it, maybe they'll come" was the mantra – and by and large, they didn't come. The fallout has been considerable, and the smoke and mirrors quickly removed. The best ideas proved to be most resonant, not the best built site structures. We predict the most creative agencies will see their stars rise in 2009; with their funny / moving / controversial ideas cutting through the clutter.
2. The Dying Gasps of the Last Remaining Traditional Advertising Agencies
Sure, large tracts of the Amazon rain forest will continue to be cleared, but more mainstream print titles will close this year, radio will sag and television splutter. The reason: mainstream media placement will decline more and more rapidly in 2009 (especially if those smart programmers get point 8 right). Marketing managers worldwide are increasingly seeing their online presence (including mobile) as the pivotal communication point in their strat. Digital will become the destination, with radio, print and TV becoming satelite channels feeding through it into a sale transaction. Clients will ask 'where's my digital?' before they ask 'where's my 30 second ad'. The traditional agency model of coming up with a formulaic idea – with legs – then booking 12 months of media placement is dead. Nowadays, companies look for progressive agencies who understand a combination of traditional & digital and all the nuances that go with it.
3. Mobile gets Smart
This is 'Captain Obvious' territory, but there is a twist. Mobile will start employing more personalised methods, more copywriting expertise and more funky tech to break through the backlash that occurred in 2008. A case in point was the December Heavy Chef Session where the mobile representative got 20 mins of flack from an audience tired of getting mobile spam.
We reckon there will be some crazy tech apps coming up that make mobile advertising way, way smarter.
Digital Design & Creativity:
4. The Great Web 2.0 Design Backlash
No more logo reflections. No more shiny vignettes. No more clip-art-styley bubble-icons. We'll see a return to good ole fashioned crunchy mash-ups. All hail illustration. Textures. Art Direction. Typography. Tactile Backround Patterns. The creative vaccuum that was 'the Web 2.0′ style is so 1 month ago. It will be great to see concepts and compositional thought return to the design galleries en masse. It started in the latter part of 2008, and we'll see a charge throughout 2009. It will be crunchy, tangible and thought-provoking. User-centred design will still be prevalent, but it's a case of formand function.
5. The Return of Custom Photography
Probably one of the most profitable businesses sparked by the whole digital marketing movement was the online stock library. Talk about The Long Tail in action: you could get that picture of the mouse sitting on a clown's nose and you didn't even have to brief it out! A quick search through SXC, iStock or Getty will get you that image in a few clicks. And so, old-school photographers have been sitting by their phones and hearing crickets. We reckon we'll see a return to the busy booking schedules of camera-wielding practitioners creating the beautiful panoramas dreamed up by web designers everywhere.
6. The Rise of the 'Digital Story'
We believe 2009 will see a huge number of 'digital stories' appear. Instead of a punch-line with various executions, a creative campaign will start with a basic premise, and then initiate an online journey where that premise can be fleshed out in a story format. Campaigns will be focused, engaging and personalised.
Digital Development:
7. The Convergence of Social Networking and Mainstream Web Development
We've seen Facebook Connect being introduced last year. We reckon this is the forebearer of much more to come. We reckon marketers will slap a social networking application on to every website they can muster. We'll see small restaurant chains create networking groups; large consultancies crowdsourcing; bloggers feeding into big corporation sites; social travel apps on agency sites; your friends' comments filtered through to e-commerce product pages; and Twitter updates on lawyers' home pages. E-commerce will go social, and so will most services. Hell, even a luxury hotel client of ours just placed TripAdvisor logos all over their website.
8. Mindblowing Development of Personalised Online Advertising
OK, so this is maybe a little obvious to some of you, since 'overcoming banner blindness' has become the de facto standard for starting an online media brainstorm. The fact is, big media players (now more than ever) need to convince anxious marketing managers whose budgets have been slashed. 0.3% click-through rates won't cut it anymore no matter how slick the sales pitch about 'the growth of online advertising' is. Big money is being spent now on developing targeted and personalised ad placement systems. These 'smart systems' will allow creative teams to be able to forego the usual stumbling blocks and strategise with the confidence that their audience is engaged and ready to interact with their communication. We predict some pretty mindblowing developments in this sphere.
9. Adobe Flash, Master of the Universe
A mate of World Wide Creative's, Chris Beech, a Flash / Flex / Air Ninja, has been blowing this trumpet for years. Chris tells us that big brands like Samsung and Sony are backing behind Flash. We think, as Flash cements its position as the leading carrier of animated content, 2009 will see some big developments in the way websites are built. With data speeds becoming faster and more accessible, media is going mobile, and Flash is the messenger. Flash will also open up and become fully SEO-friendly, and digital marketers who've shunned it in the past will have to free up their after hours for evening classes.
Digital Overall:
10. Digital Integration with Traditional Media
Despite what certain traditional media salespeople have to say, we believe that the words 'integrated digital campaign' will be standard vernacular of marketing strategists, and will become the expectation of clients worldwide.
11. Crowdsourcing goes Mainstream
Crowdsourcing is possibly the handiest of social media's outcomes. It means to utilise your community to come up with a beneficial outcome. We've seen this trend bubble under over the past 12 months, but now with Google joining the ranks, everyone's going to jump on the bandwagon. Cool tools (like Rypple) will be the talk of business breakfasts worldwide.
12. The 'Open Movement' goes Mainstream
This was a tough call and could really go either way. We hope we're right, and we see the likes of Microsoft opening up Office (or at least going online), Facebook hooking up with OpenSocial and Ubuntu actually becoming usable. This latter one would be great, since Ubuntu is really a mystery to anyone outside of the circle of breathless supporters that Shuttleworth and co. have attracted. The flipside to this prediction is that the whole open movement could be exposed as a profitless sham that bleeds most companies dry.
After all, the evil Microsoft is still making more money than anyone else, so why change anything?

Lewis H. Lapham writes, via Tomgram:
… Read the rest
Twain for as long as I've known him has been true to his word, and so I'm careful never to find myself too far out of his reach. The Library of America volumes of his Collected Tales, Sketches, Speeches, and Essays (1852–1910) stand behind my desk on a shelf with the dictionaries and the atlas. On days when the news both foreign and domestic is moving briskly from bad to worse, I look to one or another of Twain's jests to spring the trap or lower a rope, to summon, as he is in the habit of doing, a blast of laughter to blow away the "peacock shams" of the world's "colossal humbug."
Laughter was Twain's stock in trade, and for 30 years as bestselling author and star attraction on America's late-nineteenth-century lecture stage, he produced it in sufficient quantity to make bearable the acquaintance with grief that he knew to be generously distributed among all present in the Boston Lyceum or a Tennessee saloon, in a Newport drawing room as in a Nevada brothel.

The Colorado Rockies have not hidden their desire to secure themselves a catcher and atop that list has been Carlos Ruiz, who spent the past eight seasons as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies.
Reports leaked a few days ago that the Rockies were interested in Ruiz and according to Troy Renck, the team has given the veteran backstop a contract offer:
Colorado made an offer to Ruiz over the past 48 hours, and that has them in the mix for the veteran catcher. It may take an over pay in either money (something Colorado has some flexibility to do) or years (something the Rockies rarely do) to keep them at the table with the Phillies, Blue Jays and Red Sox all interested in Ruiz.
As Renck mentions, many teams are interested in Ruiz who's thought to be one of, if not the best free agent catcher on the market after Brian McCann, though they may be trying to lure Ruiz with the idea of putting up elite offensive numbers in Colorado.
On Monday, it was suggested by Renck that the Rockies may give Ruiz a two year deal, which would allow the veteran to produce high quality numbers and hit free agency again for one, final, multi-year deal.

One crucial battle that simply cannot be overvalued, involves MLB Sean Lee and RB LeSean McCoy. It takes a VERY instinctive, aggressive defender like Lee to counter the speed, explosion, and versatility of McCoy.
Lee never faced the Eagles last season due to injury. In 2011 his importance to counteracting McCoy was illustrated perfectly in their first meeting of the season.
Once Lee went down after 20 plays, aged veteran Keith Brooking took over. Lee had surrendered only 1 catch. Brooking allowed another 7 receptions for 88 yards.
In the first meeting this season, Lee was on hand for the entire game and the results were vastly different. He totaled 9 tackles while the Cowboys' defense limited McCoy to a measly 18 rushes for 55 yards (3.0 ypc).
Lee's play in coverage certainly was dominant. In 7 targets his way, only 3 were completed for 10 total yards. He even snuffed out the only completion attempted his way to McCoy for a 7 yard loss.
McCoy ended his day with 6 catches and only 1 on Sean Lee. The Eagles were forced to move him all around as he completed short catches on 5 different Cowboys for only 26 total yards.
While at the moment we don't know the status of Sean Lee, one must assume the prognosis is not good regarding a dangerous injury area like the neck.
Without Sean, Dallas truly does not have solid answers for the Eagles' talented, versatile RB's and TE's. As unusual as this sounds, against this one particular team, Sean Lee is debatably more valuable than QB Tony Romo.
Less than stellar QB's (Carson Palmer, Matt Cassel) have recently scorched this soft Eagles' pass defense for over 300 yards each. It's been proven already this season.
Covering the Eagles' dominant RB's and TE's without Lee is almost defensive suicide. With over 1,500 receiving yards, they are the critical key to opening up the rest of the field for Nick Foles.

Johnson County Growth Could Lead to Kansas Redistricting Fight
There could be some big changes in store for Kansas' four congressional districts after the U.S. Census showed a big population spike in Johnson County, and analysts say that the fight over redistricting the Kansas 3rd Congressional District could get ugly.
The district covers Johnson, Wyandotte and parts of Douglas County, including parts of Lawrence. According to Census numbers, between April 1, 2000 and July 1, 2009, Johnson County's population rose nearly 20 percent, while Douglas County saw more than a 15 percent increase. Wyandotte County actually lost two percent of its population. Across the state of Kansas, the state only grew at a 4.8 percent clip.
Simply put, analysts say, there are too many people in the Third District, and lawmakers are faced with the task of shrinking it in a fair manner.
"Johnson County had a lot of growth where as the state has really remained stagnant," said Ronnie Metsker, Johnson County GOP Chairman. "And so we stand to have a smaller 3rd Congressional District. What that district looks like, no on really knows yet."
Metsker says that the process of redrawing the congressional map will get heated.
"When it come right down to it, it's a power play for individual congress person, or a state representative trying to protect their turf," said Metsker.
But Kansas Democratic Party chair Larry Gates says that the match-up won't really be fair. He says it will be a tough struggle for Democrats, because Republicans have all four congressional seats in Kansas. He says that it won't be just as simple as just giving up part of Johnson County. Lawmakers will have to figure out what to do with Kansas City, Kansas, and part of Lawrence.
Lawmakers are waiting on this years census numbers, which they expect to get in February. But it could be May of 2012 before the new boundaries are determined. There are talks that the population of Johnson and Wyandotte counties could make up the new Third District on their own.
"It goes back to the premise of every man, one vote," said Metsker.Copyright © 2014, Sun Sentinel

Enjoy this fascinating look at the evolution of the bat symbol.
Batman was one of the earliest comic book superheroes, first appearing in 1939. It took him less than a year to earn his own title and join Superman as one of the cornerstones of the comic universe. He's been in comic books, TV and several movies. So, if you're going to be him for your costumed event, you have a decision to make.
Which version of Batman do you want to be? His appearance and costume have evolved over the years and across different media. We have costume options for many of his incarnations, in sizes from infant to adult plus.
Maybe you'd like to look like Adam West, who played Batman in the 1960s TV series. His costume was a light gray jumpsuit with dark blue briefs, boots, hood & cape. He wore a yellow utility belt and had the bat symbol in a yellow oval on his chest. We have several versions of this look. Some of them have padding in the chest and shoulders to give you the look of a muscular physique without spending hours in the gym.
Or perhaps you want the darker, all-black look from the Batman movies. We have Dark Knight costumes for all ages at a variety of price points.
If you're going to be Batman, you'll want to add accessories like Batarangs and a grappling hook. You'll also want to have a friend or significant other to be Robin. For a group of friends you could have a rogues' gallery of villains: The Joker, Penguin, The Riddler and more.
So watch for the Bat Signal, and when it appears slide down the Batpole to the Batcave and zoom away in the Batmobile. Gotham City needs you!
Being Batman isn't just yelling at people in a gravelly voice... no, there's much mroe to it than that. For instance, you really need the perfect Bat-Pose to really sell the transformation, especially if you're taking pictures with people. Batman is so popular, you should probably just get used to people wanting their picture taken with you. So, when that inevitably happens, strike a pose from this guide, and you'll look just like you glided in from Gotham.
Batman is known for throwing his own brand of boomerang, also known as a 'batarang.' If you have one of these handy accessories on Halloween, pose like you're about to hurl it at the picture taker, but don't actually do it! They'd probably frown on that type of thing.
Batman is also well known for always hiding in the shadows. Every time Jim Gordon turns around? Gone, nowhere to be found. Batman loves to just disappear, and that's what this pose is doing. Block your face with your cape, and give a stern look.
Cross your arms, stand up straight... as Batman, that is. When you do this as old Bats here nobody would dare mess with you, not even the Joker or the Penguin! That's because this stance means business... bat business to be exact. Confidence oozes out of him and says without saying, "I protect Gotham, and thus, you."
Batman doesn't use guns, because he doesn't believe in killing. He only believes in justice. This pose, with your hands tucked behind the cape, looks like you're ready to strike your picture taker, but of course you aren't going to do that. He's a master of intimidation, so you should be too!
Perhaps Batman's most famous pose is him perching on a gargoyle of some sort about to pounce and glide down to the streets below where he will bring justice to those that need it. Do this pose and you'll always look cool, especially in the deluxe costume!
It's hard to believe that Batman is actually as old as he is, but it's true! The character really did debut all the way back in 1939. Mind you, that version of Batman is very different from the one we have around today. Fans of Batman can spend hours debating which era had the best Dark Knight, whether it was the Adam West take, or Christian Bale's, we've had so many we thought it was worthwhile to cover each from the noir to the movie universe with this handy nat-tastic era guide!
The original Batman had a very different cowl, although he looks much the same as he does even today. The cowl back then had pointy ears wider apart, and even had a bit of a spooky look. This is a spandex suit costume that gives it a classic, vintage look.
The 1960s version was owned by Adam West. He brought a fun, campy looseness to the character that hadn't been seen before. Who could forget all those classic BIFFS, BANGS, and POWS? Or Julie Newmar for that matter... meow!
|After the 60s TV show, Batman went back to being strictly a comic book character. He had a similar look to his original version and went from black to blue. The character would stay roughly the same until the 1980s when Batman would radically transform.
Batman changed a lot in the 1980s because of Frank Miller. His take on the character made Batman more muscular, mor stylized, and the stories more brutal and realistic. The golden age Batman was gone, and this was something new entirely, and readers really latched onto it making the campy version a thing of the past.
The Batman cinematic universe has been controversial to say the least. The Tim Burton versions were very popular and brought a whole new interest to the character, but there was only two of them. Then, Joel Schumacher got a hold of the franchise and while his films were popular enough to continue, they were critically panned because of silly plotlines and villains no more than goofy carictures. When everyone thought the Batman movie franchise was completely dead, Christopher Nolan took it to new heights, and it became one of the highest grossing franchises of all time.
Shopping for the perfect costume can be hard, especially in Gotham where you always have to be watching your wallet or purse so it doesnt' get snatched by a supervillain. But you also don't want to get a bad deal! That's why we made this guide to show you all the different costume ideas we had to make yourself into Batman. Some of us might have Bruce Wayne money, and other's might not, but that shouldn't stop anyone from becoming the Dark Knight!
|This is our value version of Batman. It uses our costume t-shirt, a pair of gloves, and our Batman half mask. It's a great look for not only Halloween, but in completing your quest to becoming the next "Bat-Dad."
For a complete Batman look without all the fuss, go with this moderate version. It's the Rubies Dark Knight costume jumpsuit. You can always add some accessories or a different cowl, but this look is straight out of the package.
This deluxe version of Batman has a fantastic jumpsuit of a high quality. It looks just like Batman from the comic books, and has a nice thick cape. The only thing is that the ears will need some help so that they aren't floppy, but everything else is tip top!
This super deluxe version isn't even the most expensive of our Batman costumes, but is perhaps the most accessible while still getting that Dark Knight look. If you want the movie version, this is a great one to go for, but if you want to spend even a little more be sure to check out our other deluxe version, too!
Batman has been around for a long while, which means he has a ton of quotes, but we thought it would be fun to take some of the best ones and show them here. When you go as Batman for Halloween, you can memorize a few of these and really get into character. Our favorite? "I'm not wearing hockey pads," from the Dark Knight. Makes us laugh every time...

I reformatted my system when I got my boxed copy of windows vista sp1 retail from work. Now that I got wow installed and patched I can alt tab into windows but when I try and go back into wow nothing happens and I end up having to end task it. Does anyone know what would be causing this on a windows vista 32 machine? Evey thing works fine except this minor issue
Have you put WoW into windowed mod? That might work for ya..
For Alt+Tab to work reliably in full screen I have found it helps to have another program running. Simply open a low memory app like a web browser or ventrillo before launching WoW. If you did not start something before running WoW in full screen you can hit the Windows Button on your keyboard this will pull you back to the Windows Desktop. Oops... not what you were asking.I have had the issue you describe in the past. It was solved with a video driver update. That would be where I would start.--At the end of this day, one shall stand, one shall ROFL!
I have an evga 9600GT superclocked video card and I am using the updated drivers from nvidia.com should I hop onto evga site and download from them instead of nvidia?
The EVGA site will have the same graphics driver as Nvidia's. Well, they should at least.
ctrl esc.--edit--yes it brings up the start menu, but it also brings you back to the desktop. I don't think alt tab has ever worked for me in WoW, unless maybe when I've been running something else like a browser. But usually I run WoW by itself to keep its performance maximised.
The only way I can alt-tab from WoW in Vista SP1, is to run WoW in windowed mode. I have the window expanded to fill my screen, but the taskbar is still in view. If I run WoW in fullscreen mode, then I have the same problem you do.
it looks like I am not the only one with this problem. so is it just us vista users with sp1 both 32 and x64. I think xp pro works fine last time I tried it.
I've had zero problems alt-tabbing with Vista SP1. I'd concur with the recommendation about making sure you have the latest video drivers.--Visit »www.undeadfish.com -- Where good ideas go to die.
I use vista 64 ultimate sp1 and alt-tab out all the time running full screen mode on an 8800gt without a single problem.
something most of happened after I reformated when I got windows vista sp1 and switched to raid 0. I am not sure what but I reinstalled the graphics driver and now I can alt tab again. it sux not being able to copy and paste quests into wowhead
Glad to hear this is working for you once more.
said by gsm8:it sux not being able to copy and paste quests into wowhead
The only times I have had alt-tab issues in different games has always been driver related. Change of drivers has always fixed it

Shakespeare Gets Mobbed Up In FAMILY TIES
August 22, 2014 by Stefan Blitz
Filed under NBM Blog, Reviews
If there's any doubt to the continuing influence and power of Shakespeare's work, the Alaskan crime story would do little to sway that argument. In Eric Hobbs and Noel Tuazon's Family Ties, King Lear is reimagined against the backdrop of a crime family dealing with the patriarch's onset dementia.
Here's what the critics are saying:
"A superb graphic novel that should appeal to students of Elizabethan drama and of grandiosely brutal gangster stories."
"The real star of this production is Tuazon, whose fragile linework competes bold swaths of inky grays to create just the right atmosphere for this murky tale of hubris and denial."
"A very solid read, and worth checking out."
"And in great tragic fashion, there is no neat and satisfying conclusion to this story. The narrative threads are roughly cut, similar to Tuazon's renderings, and we're left with a drama without any "real" ending. The ambiguity, though, is all part of the narrative's unsettling tone and feeds into its dark realism. What we have in Family Ties is a story that leaves you feeling raw and uncomfortable, wondering if perhaps your own relationships are similarly problematic or unresolved."
"Highly recommended especially for connoisseurs of Shakespearean drama and gritty crime stories alike."
"The best part about Family Ties, and the reason I'd recommend it, is the art, by Noel Tuazon, all black and white. And gray. Lots of gray. His figures and objects are mostly minimalist sketches, and the "coloring" is various shades of gray watercolor, which I, in my non-art history background, associate with traditional Chinese and Japanese nature paintings. Meaning that the story is just automatically moody and exotic-looking."
"A great concept — a version of King Lear set among a crime family in Alaska, with the aging boss father facing dementia and two ambitious daughters."

Cartoonist Jim Benton (best known for It's Happy Bunny) released his first collection of web cartoons, Dog Butts and Love. And Stuff Like That. And Cats. through NBM. And based on the reactions from some of the critics out there, you're missing out if you don't check it out.
"Each page of his Dog Butts … features a different comic, some simple one-panel cartoons, some multi-panel gag strips. The art styles employed are so incredibly different that many of them look like they're the works of different cartoonists, with Benton affecting different design styles, different lines, different color schemes, different lettering and even different types of jokes throughout.
There are a few that aren't even jokes, but look like greeting cards, and read as heartwarming, if saccharine, affirmative statements. Some are dark and twisted the way some of the most memorable Perry Bible Fellowship cartoons were. Sometimes he works blue. Sometimes he presents work tame enough that it could appear on a newspaper comics page. Other times he presents perfect, wordless one-panel gags that look like better-drawn installments of Gary Larson's Far Side.
Everything about the book is all over the map except, perhaps, for its level of quality."
– Robot 6
"The pieces in question range from single-panel gags to short sequential pieces, but the thing they share in common is the level of intelligence and cleverness on display. He is consistently darkly funny, often touching a chord with a tough truth at the heart of the cartoon…The whole book is worth your time."
"From the sketchy to the hyper detailed to the super cartoony, Benton is a master at his craft…It's silly and ridiculous and entirely enjoyable!"
"I found myself mentally comparing it to the great gag cartoonist books of my youth…As a jokester, Benton is as capable of coming up with a silly boob joke as he is a darkly comic riff on existential angst."
Rick Geary's MADISON SQUARE TRAGEDY Has Critics Smiling
August 18, 2014 by Stefan Blitz
Filed under NBM Blog, Reviews
Nominated as a 2014 Great Graphic Novel for Teens from The Young Adult Library Services Association of the ALA
"I really enjoy Rick Geary's non-fiction comics about true crimes. His 2013 effort is the story of how architect Stanford White was shot in the face. Geary illustrates his books with maps, house cutaways, evidence shots, and explores every lead…even if such leads prove to be false, Geary explains their reason for not being possible/credible. Geary's books are a great gateway for non-comic readers who think comics are all capes & cowl *BAM* *POW* to see that there truly are other genres of stories waiting out them in the pages of comics."
– David Petersen (Mouseguard) naming Madison Square Tragedy to his Best of the Year list.
"Geary's tale is a ripe one, and his evocation of an era where Victorian mores clashed with more modern ideas is wittily crafted..As is par for this series, Geary's black-and-white art relishes period detail as it maintains a largely detached view on the people involved… As in other volumes in this magnificent graphic series, Geary's interest is as much in the reactions to the horrendous crimes depicted as in the criminal acts themselves. In so doing, he tells us much about the Good Olde Days that it'd be best not to forget."
"Usual brilliant Geary art par excellance, needs no further description. I'd read a phone book illustrated by the man! My only complaint? The long wait till Geary's next book!"

NBM Publishing returns to San Diego Comic-Con International and is proud to premiere New York Times bestselling cartoonist Jim Benton's first print collection of his web comics, Dog Butts and Love. And Stuff Like That. And Cats.

FAMILY TIES Review Round Up
June 16, 2014 by Stefan Blitz
Filed under NBM Blog, Reviews
Eric Hobbs and Noel Tuazon's Shakespearean organized crime graphic novel, Family Ties, is their first work together since The Broadcast. Here's what the critics have to say.
"Family Ties is a single volume graphic novel packed with tension and wrought with emotion, as well as more than a little violence. With all the hallmarks of the best mob movies, alongside the emotions of family dramas, Hobbs has crafted an engaging and original story."
– NJ.com
"The best part about Family Ties, and the reason I'd recommend it, is the art, by Noel Tuazon, all black and white. And gray. Lots of gray. His figures and objects are mostly minimalist sketches, and the "coloring" is various shades of gray watercolor, which I, in my non-art history background, associate with traditional Chinese and Japanese nature paintings. Meaning that the story is just automatically moody and exotic-looking. But also, the black and white and gray formatting serves as a metaphor for the story morality: it's not a world of black/white bad/good, but a whole bunch of people operating somewhere in the middle."
"A superb graphic novel that should appeal to students of Elizabethan drama and of grandiosely brutal gangster stories."
ALL STAR Knocks It Out Of The Park
May 26, 2014 by Stefan Blitz
Filed under NBM Blog, Reviews
The reviews for Jesse Lonergan's All Star are in!
"It's an authentic tale of life in a small community, particularly in the wordless sequences of ball practice or late-night party. It's a pleasure to get lost in the art."
"Lonergan's story hits all the right notes of smalltown life and athletic struggle, with loose, energetic, manga-inspired art."
"All Star captures small-town adolescence perfectly (perhaps all too perfectly, depending on a reader's mood and propensity for elegiac nostalgia), and is actually a great deal of fun, despite the down ending and the heavy melodrama.
Lonergan is a sensational character designer and cartoonist, and while all of the lines in all of the panels are dynamic and expressive, this is never more apparent than when he's drawing the sports action, in which balls fly like meteors, and hit the ground, a glove or a bat with explosions."
– Robot 6
"Lonergan does get things right at every turn. His town feels right, the people who live there feel right, the reaction to what happens feels right, and the angst Carl feels over it feels right. There's a universal recognition of the human condition here that works. Having grown up in a town like this, I saw the truth in it. The art has a crisp, cartoon-y look about it, and the ending, while feeling a little manufactured, resonates in the final panels. Solid stuff."
"Thoughtful, provocative, and populated by believable human characters, All Star is highly recommended. All Star does contain some cursing and a few sexual allusions, though it is never explicit, and is therefore more suitable for teens and adults (or any reader who is mature enough to understand what the Lewinsky scandal was all about)."
"This was so good. So damn good. I don't care for baseball at all, but this isn't necessarily about baseball. It's about being someone who is willing to take a stand for what they think is important..."
There are also two fantastic interviews with Lonergan at Comic Book Resources and San Angelo Times that are both excellent reads.
All Star is available now.

In this feature interview, The Comics Reporter's Tom Spurgeon will interview Dillies on his life, his career, and his inspirations. French/English interpretation by Stephane Beaujean.
Eric Hobbs and Noel Tuazon
From the creative team behind The Broadcast, NBM is proud to be debuting their new book, Family Ties at TCAF.
Hoping to secure a future for his children, an aging Alaskan crime boss looks to retire and divide his empire amongst his three heirs. But when his idealistic son refuses the inheritance, the old man disowns him. This turns out to be a fatal mistake when he sees his cold-blooded daughters use their new-found power and influence against him. Inspired by the classic play King Lear, Family Ties is The Godfather as a Shakespearean tragedy in this epic tale of betrayal and loss.
Jesse Lonergan
Jesse, the author of Flower & Fade and Joe & Azat will be appearing to support his new book, the baseball coming of age tale, All Star.
On Saturday from 11am-12pm, Jesse will be appearing on the panel:

Jocks Vs. Nerds is an engrained trope, but times have thankfully changed. The North American comics industry is catching up to its European and Japanese compatriots, realizing that blending popular sporting events with comics and graphic novels goes together like peanut butter and chocolate, and the result are great comics that appeal to an entirely new artist. Join authors Box Brown (Andre The Giant), Reinhard Kleist (The Boxer), Wai Au (Fujosports), Jesse Lonergan (All-Star), and moderator Jimmy Aquino (Comics News Insider), for a spirited discussion of this emerging genre of comics!

Rick Geary Nominated For Reuben Award
April 3, 2014 by Stefan Blitz
Filed under NBM Blog
With over a dozen titles available in his Treasury of Murder series, it's the latest, Madison Square Tragedy: The Murder of Stanford White that's earned cartoonist Rick Geary a well deserved 2013 nomination for Best Graphic Novel for the 68th Annual NCS Reuben Awards. The Reuben Award is the highest honor that the profession bestows and is presented on behalf of the National Cartoonists Society.
The winners will be announced Saturday, May 24th at the annual NCS Reuben Awards dinner in San Diego, CA.
About the Book:
Stanford White is one of New York's most famous architects having designed many mansions and the first Madison Square Garden. His influence on New York's look at the turn of the century was pervasive. As he became popular and in demand, he also became quite self-indulgent. He had a taste for budding young showgirls on Broadway, even setting up a private apartment to entertain them in, including a room with… a red velvet swing. When he meets Evelyn Nesbit, an exquisite young nymph, cover girl, showgirl, inspiration for Charles Dana Gibson's "The Eternal Question" and for the later movie "The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing," he knows he's on to something special. However, Evelyn eventually marries a young Pittsburgh decadent heir with a dark side who develops a deep hatred for White and what he may or may not have done to her, setting up the most scandalous murder of the time.
"Geary's books are a great gateway for non-comic readers who think comics are all capes & cowl *BAM* *POW* to see that there truly are other genres of stories waiting for them in the pages of comics."
-David Petersen (Mouse Guard)
"TOP TEN COMICS FOR FALL. No season would be complete without the latest in Rick Geary's ongoing series of 20th-century murders: with elegant, unsettling penwork, Madison Square Tragedy: The Murder of Stanford White tells the notorious story of architect Stanford White, who was murdered by a jealous husband in a theater atop the original Madison Square Garden."
-Heidi McDonald, Publishers Weekly
"To be able to share Madison Square Tragedy, a shining example of the possibilities of the comic medium—with those who would not necessarily approach a comic book—is a triumph."
-NY Journal of Books

sammbaamm asked: This is a slightly random question, but why are kids so damn springy?? They can fall face first into concrete and get up and start running again, and some can even get hit or run over by cars and suffer minimal injuries. What makes them so durable?? O.o
Babies are springy because their blood is mostly composed of a marshmallow fluff like substance called Marshmalloglobin. At birth, a baby's blood is approximately 72.6% Marshmalloglobin with the remaining 27.4% as various standard forms of hemoglobin. The percentage of Marshmalloglobin is different for premature babies and depends on the gestational age, but that's too complicated to explain here. As a baby gets older the bone marrow gradually breaks down the Marshmalloglobin in the bloodstream and replaces it with regular forms of hemoglobin. As this happens, the child becomes less springy. By age 16, most children have no measurable Marshmalloglobin in their bloodstream.
Interestingly, as we age our bone marrow begins to replace standard hemoglobin with porcelainoglobin. Porcelainoglobin is very fragile and breaks down very easily. As you age and the concentration of porcelainoglobin in your blood gets higher, you become more fragile. There is a lot of variation in the age of onset and speed at which the porcelainoglobin conversion occurs.
If I was a vampire, I'd be a pediatrician.
Yummmm…. marshmallows…

Poverty in America Is Mainstream
Nov. 2 2013
Few topics in American society have more myths and stereotypes surrounding them than poverty, misconceptions that distort both our politics and our domestic policy making.
They include the notion that poverty affects a relatively small number of Americans, that the poor are impoverished for years at a time, that most of those in poverty live in inner cities, that too much welfare assistance is provided and that poverty is ultimately a result of not working hard enough. Although pervasive, each assumption is flat-out wrong.
Contrary to popular belief, the percentage of the population that directly encounters poverty is exceedingly high. My research indicates that nearly 40 percent of Americans between the ages of 25 and 60 will experience at least one year below the official poverty line during that period ($23,492 for a family of four), and 54 percent will spend a year in poverty or near poverty (below 150 percent of the poverty line).
Even more astounding, if we add in related conditions like welfare use, near-poverty and unemployment, four out of five Americans will encounter one or more of these events.
In addition, half of all American children will at some point during their childhood reside in a household that uses food stamps for a period of time.
Put simply, poverty is a mainstream event experienced by a majority of Americans. For most of us, the question is not whether we will experience poverty, but when.

Floral Frost Cake
Cake serves 94.
Techniques Used
- 24- 22-gauge white cloth-covered florist wire (6 inches each)
- 21- 24-gauge white cloth covered wire (6 inches each)
- 18- 26-gauge white cloth-covered wire (6 inches each)
- white florist tape
- Craft block
- Bubble wrap
- Waxed paper
- Plastic wrap
- Tape
- Knife
- Scissors
Step 1
At least 1 week in advance: Make gum paste roses and stephanotis, blossoms and leaves. Make 24 roses on 22-gauge wires using largest rose cutter and 18 leaves on 26-gauge wires using rose leaf cutter. Make 21 stephanotis on 24-gauge wires using calyx cutter. Also make 308 small blossoms and 196 medium blossoms using apple blossom and pansy cutters. Make extras to allow for breakage and let dry.
Step 2
Also: Make draped hearts. Cover plates from 3-Tier Pillar Cake Stand Set and outside of cake pans with waxed paper. Secure pans to corresponding plates with royal icing dots. Roll 3/8 in. thick fondant logs, long enough to wrap around bottom of each cake pan. Wrap logs in plastic wrap then secure in position with icing dots. Roll out gum paste 1/8 in. thick; cut 28 hearts using 2nd largest cutter from nesting set. Using dots of icing, attach hearts around prepared pans, with heart points hanging about 1 1/2 in. below plates. Position 11 hearts around 12 in. pan, 9 around 10 in. pan. Position 8 hearts around 8 in. pan, trimming 1 heart in back to fit. Using royal icing, decorate hearts with tip 2 scrolls. Attach 3 small and 5 medium blossoms to each heart with tip 4 dots. Let dry for several days.
Step 3
Carefully remove hearts and store on large bubble wrap until reception. Reserve plastic-wrapped fondant logs for assembling cake.
Step 4
Bake and cool 2-layer cakes. Prepare and cover with rolled fondant; smooth with Fondant Smoother. Position cakes on tier stand plates. Remove plastic wrap from fondant logs used for setting up draped hearts and attach at base of each cake with icing dots. Assemble 3 bouquets with florist tape using 8 roses, 7 stephanotis and 6 leaves for each. Insert into flower spikes filled with fondant. Insert in cakes.
Step 5
At reception: Assemble cakes on stand. Attach draped hearts around 12 in. cake with dots of royal icing. With tip 4 dots, attach additional small blossoms in garland shape, 1 1/2 in. deep, starting 2 in. from top edge of cake. Attach a medium blossom below each garland point. Add a tip 2 dot above each small blossom in garland. Repeat with 10 in. then 8 in. cakes.
**The top tier is often saved for the first anniversary. The number of servings given does not include the top tier.

Smart Chic Bedrooms
Smart Chic Bedrooms(8 videos)
From reinvented hand-me-downs to raising the roof, a beautiful bedroom is within reach no matter what your budget.
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
Creatively using hand-me-down furniture is a great way to furnish a bedroom on a budget. Before investing in expensive, new pieces, check with friends and family to see if they have anything they'd like to give away. This vintage bed was old news to its previous owners, but a coat of black paint and a little distressing gave it a fresh, up-to-date look that works perfectly with this bedroom's relaxed style.

Public body modification can force you to trade one life for another - it's very rare to be able to have it all (but it can happen with effort). Looking like yourself will force you to work much, much harder than people who all look the same. Being free requires a lot more work than being a slave. Running your own business is more effort than working for someone else. Being an actor is more difficult than watching a movie. Cooking a meal is more difficult than buying a cheeseburger at a fast food joint… but, there are still people left in this world who believe that sometimes the difficult - but free - path is the more rewarding. The fundamental question in becoming publicly modified is a question of finding a balance between how free you want to be and how hard you want to work. The more free you are, the more responsibility you have to take for yourself. The more you blend back into the crowd, the less freedom you have, but the 'easier' your life gets. But is it really your life if you're not controlling it?

"But women get unfair advantages in custody battles"
FALSE. Fathers who ask for sole custody are far more likely to get it. It's just that they don't ask, mostly women do. Men win custody over women even if they are ostensibly unfit. More and more, judges and parents rule in favor of 50/50 custody. In fact, in the past ten years, the men's rights movement has been devastating to women seeking custody in court and women are awarded sole custody about half as many times as men.
So find a new fucking myth.
Absolute and complete bullshit

Srila Prabhupada: Meat-eating is the main barrier to understanding God. The meat-eaters will never be able to understand Him.
The heroes of my youth were the great healers of humanity.
The various meanings of dharma reveal a richness of concept and a unique experience.
An investigation into the causes of suffering.
Why try to forget life's hardships through mind-numbing diversions, when you can escape to the pleasure of reality?
When we view the world around us through the eyes of the scriptures, our understanding of it changes.
In this episode, Chaturatma Dasa speaks about the appearance of Sri Sri Radha Raman and of Srila Gopala Bhatta Goswami's worship of Them.
Chaturatma Dasa remembers some Vaishnava Saints who lived during our time and have recently passed away; Aindra Dasa and Vichitravirya Dasa.
—1) awaken our relationship with God, 2) take up activities in that relationship, and 3) enjoy the result of eternal love of God
In this episode of his video blog, Chaturatma Dasa describes wonderful pastimes of Srinivasa Acarya and Madhavendra Puri.

Elvis Perkins In Dearland
Elvis Perkins In Dearland - "I Heard Your Voice In Dresden"
What do you get when you cross Norman Bates with some insane musical talent, and a bit of melancholy? Well, Elvis Perkins, of course. On his debut album, Ash Wednesday, Perkins dealt with some heavy issues, including the death of his mother on 9/11 and his father's death from AIDS only a decade earlier.
His second album, Elvis Perkins In Dearland, is much lighter on the content but still comes hard with the folk. In what is one of the more upbeat songs on the album, "I Heard Your Voice in Dresden" shows a just a tinge of optimism with the closing refrain, "Some might say that all love is lost but I swear I know my way". Even though it is out of character, it is welcomed because it shows that he still has hope. And that is all that anyone can ask for.

Glasgow Showcases Leading Nanotechnology Expertise
Last weeks NanoMicroClub meeting was a "huge eye opener" says Del Stark, Business Development Manager. The meeting showcased new advances in Optoelectronics and Injection Moulded Nanostructures that could be used in new medical applications.
The University of Glasgow was the setting for the Institute of Nanotechnologys latest business networking meeting on the topic of Biomedical Applications in Nanotechnology. The meeting, delivered in partnership with the Universitys KTA (Knowledge Transfer Account), brought together leading nanotechnology experts to discuss new research being developed at the University. Del said, "the University of Glasgow is well known for its many exciting breakthroughs in lithography and fabrication, but today we learned about incredible advances being developed in nanomedicine."
Scottish based companies such as Renishaw Diagnostics Ltd and Point-2-Point Genomics discussed new methods for infectious disease diagnosis which served to highlight how big an impact Scottish research will have on future biomedicine. Many of these new diagnostic tools will provide rapid analysis for fast patient diagnosis and ultimately save lives.
Scotland is also home to world leading experts researching toxicity issues related to nanomaterials and Professor Vicki Stone from Heriot-Watt University presented recent findings regarding physicochemical characteristics and nano toxicity, while Dr Steve Hankin from SafeNano described their contributions to recent government studies.
Richard Moore, Nanomedicine and Lifesciences Manager from the Institute of Nanotechnology closed the meeting with some thought provoking questions related to privacy, patient care and clinicians adopting new technologies.
The NanoMicroClub acts to provide a platform for business development and networking and Thursdays highly successful meeting brought together over 60 delegates. Delegates reported that they "found the meeting very interesting and useful for making contacts" and that it was "a concise meeting covering several different aspects of nanotechnology and the broader issues the development of nanotechnology raises."
Neil Bowering, KTA Manager at the University of Glasgow, said that "the event was a resounding success, with some excellent presentations and discussions. I am aware of three follow-up meeting taking place the following day and hopefully these will lead to new partnerhships or collaborations. Given some of the unique challenges in the commercialisation of nanotechnologies, such events provide an excellent opportunity for companies, entrapenuers and academics to discuss opportunties and share best practices."
To find out how you can access the proceedings and to join future NanoMicroClub events please contact Del Stark on firstname.lastname@example.com or tel: +44 (0)141 303 8444.
