PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
Go follow Comics Should Be Good on Twitter (if you have Twitter, that is – if you don't, you can go sign up). Here is our Twitter page… http://twitter.com/csbg. And here are the Comics Should Be Good writers who are on Twitter (the links go to the person's Twitter account) – myself, Greg Hatcher, Chad Nevett, Kelly Thompson, Sonia Harris Danielle Leigh, Melinda Beasi and Michelle Smith!
The blog's Twitter account updates whenever a new post is put up on the blog, so it's an easy way to keep up with the blog. In addition, I post new content on the blog's Twitter account. As an incentive to follow us, if we reach 3,000 followers, I'll either do another extra edition of Comic Book Legends Revealed the week we hit 3,000 or I will do another Month of Greatest Stories Ever Told (your choice)!
Now on to the bit!
So every week, I ask a question here. You reply to it on our Twitter page (just write @csbg with your reply) and our SIX blog sketch artists will each pick one of your suggestions and I will post them here every week. So every week you will have a new question and you will see the top six choices from the previous week.
To qualify, you have to be following us when you reply – so go follow us and then give your answer to the following question/challenge (All suggestions due by 6 AM Pacific, Friday, April 8th).
Next week's theme is…
As suggested by our own Daniel Irizarri, team-up or mash-up a Western comic book character with a manga or an anime character!
Read on for the six sketches that came about courtesy of the last question/challenge!
Comic Book Character Spokespersons." You simply pick a product and the comic book character you'd like to see as a spokesperson for that product. Green Lantern/Energizer Bunny, Flash/Nike, you get the drift
I'll put them in alphabetical order based on the name of the Twitter user who made the suggestion.
All copyright and trademarks of the following characters are held by their respective owners!
Mic was at Wonder Con, so Sean filled in this week!
First off, two Kick-Ass-related suggestions!
BigMike20X6 suggested:
Hit-Girl for Orbit Gum (can it even clean /her/ mouth?)
Caanan Grall is the artist for this one. Here is his website.

BigMike20X6 also suggested:
Kick-Ass fighting crime with Hostess Fruit Pies
Sean McFarland is the artist for this one. Here is his website.

George Zapata is the artist for this one. Here is his website.

dc2omniverse suggested:
Aquaman and StarKist Tuna.
Chaz Folgar is the artist for this one. Here is his website.

jpers36 suggested:
Daniel Irizarri is the artist for this one. Here is his website.
KeithWTSMorris suggested:
Hourman for Rolex
Nick Perks is the artist for this one. Here is his website.
Thanks so much to all of the suggestion-givers and, of course, our awesome artists!
Now go make suggestions for next week's theme!!
NOTE: If you wish to participate in April's Reader Gallery, be sure to drop me an e-mail with a JPEG of your drawing (you can submit up to two drawings per month) by 6pm Pacific on Thursday, April 14th! Use any topic that has been featured on The Line It It Drawn (I'd prefer you use stuff from March's editions, but I won't hold you to that)!
That Hourman ad is just fantastic.
It also prompts me for the first time to wonder: isn't it silly of Hourman to advertise the limitation on his powers right in his name? It's not "Powerless Against Wood Lantern," for good reason.
Nick Perks artwork is fantastic. Also very smart.
Great work, guys! Awesome stuff!
The Hourman and Kick-Ass ads were fantastic. I liked the little Aqualad fish in the Aquaman, too.
I wonder how many of those Western comic book character suggestions for next week will be folks like Jonah Hex, Blueberry and the Two-Gun Kid.
Nice work by everyone.
Canaan's Hit-Girl/Orbit drawing is really strong graphically. It has a little Saul Bass in it, which is always a good thing as far as I am concerned.
Sean McFarland had a tall order re-creating the goofy charm of those Hostess Pie ads. He delivered with some nice detail, like the Hello Kitty backpack.
I love the expression on George Zapata's Hellboy.
The little Aquaman and Aqualad fish on Chaz Folgar's piece cracked me up.
Daniel Irizarri gave me the creeps. The body position is so exactly Steve Jobs and that sells it.
Nick Perks did a great job with the page design on the Rolex ad. He even got the product shot on the endorser.
"Solid White Guy Albacore" just cracks me up. Chaz, you're a winner.
Great work, guys! Nick, that Rolex ad wouldn't look out of place in a Nat Geo at all. The Kick Ass Hostess ad is funny and right on target. It's just like Apple to take over the world, ain't it? And Hot Tamales – ALL muscle!
Great pieces all around once again.
When are those iUltrons coming out? I need to go camp out at the Apple store…
Ha ha…Apple is evil. I hate those motherfuckers.
caanan, that is so kick-ass! Fabulous, even. *ting*
I dig how you captured the vintage feel of the fruit pie strips, Sean, and still made it your own. SHLORP!
Cool package graphic, George.
lol @ "Solid White Guy Albacore" & "Manta Safe"! It must also be new and improved Curry flavored. Classic, Chaz!
Daniel's been tapping into his dark side the past couple weeks, uh? I'm seriously loving it. I'm actually more creeped out w/ Jobs than Ultron!
Fancy stuff there, Nick! I can see that plugged into old school comic books. Yet another product kids could only imagine owning!
Yet another awesome week! Congrats, fellas!
Nick, You made my month! that Hourman piece is AMAZING. also loved everyones this week. Of course Caanan's is top notch as usual. And Jobs lack of eyes is the evilest thing ever.
That Hitman piece is awesome, it even looks like Frank Miller's art, which I'm assuming is what it was trying to evoke.
Wow, this is probably one of the best weeks yet. Really great, imaginative, and hilarious pieces! Great job!
man! great week for everyone!
Caanan's piece went totally graphic with the concept, which works prefectly, since orbit has, in my opinion, great graphic designers.
Sean went the extra mile and made a whole strip for us! geez. this is going to be a thing. maybe someday I'll do a page or caanan… that'll be great to see. as for the page itself, i love the old comics feel, and this is a perfect homage to the old advertisements.
George knows how to pick his colors. maximum effect with the most limited of choices. great stuff.
I think Fish-Aquaman and Aqualad should be brought into the DC continuity. and then killed off, because nothing that awesome is allowed to live in the DC universe. love it, chaz. : )
As for Nicks, i had to look twice to realize that that wasn't a picture of a watch. seriously thats amazing. Love the classy look of the old 60s and 70s advertisements.
I love The Line, seriously.
Yeah, I was looking for Orbit pics on google and they've had some really clever ads.
Eh… I didn't enjoy this week's efforts that much. Not for the art, mind, that was good; I just didn't care much for some of the ideas.
Right off the bat: Hit Girl from Kick Ass, a movie I HATE. Only Canaan's artwork (and masterful sense of design) saves it for me.
OK at least that was over with AAGHHH Hit Girl AGAIN! Plus that loser Kick Ass! Spoiled what to me should have been the funniest ad reference (the Hostess Pies one.)
Hot Tamales is an unknown brand to me so I can't feel much for the Hellboy one.
Is the Aquaman one making reference to that old joke about Black Vulcan saying "Maybe they should call you WHITE FISH!" ? Also, no "Sorry, Charlie?" reference?
The Ultron one: OK, now THIS is funny, and VERY well drawn. Though it loses points for "Apple is Evil". That's a very tired joke.
The only piece that worked on all levels for me was The Hourman one: Nick Perks art, and the zing at Hourman needing to keep abreast of how long his powers lasted. Plus it reminds me of those ads that claimed their wristwatches were pretty much indestructible. (And yes naming yourself after your weakness is dumb, but that's from the original character.)
OTOH I have great hopes for next week, as there are zillions of possibilities! Speedball and Naruto, Jack Sparrow and Luffy, Power Girl and Cutey Honey, Deadpool and Keroro Gensou, etc. etc…. would be hard not to enjoy!
What're you talking about? The whole "Apple is Evil" thing sold it for me.
Eh, I make no apologies. I like Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl. I wouldn't have suggested them otherwise. But Caana's piece is easily my favorite non-X-Babies piece done for the Line,
Can't wait until the topic is one that will let me suggest an X-Babies/Hit-Girl/Squirrel Girl throwdown….
Thanks everyone for the nice words on "Hourman".
These subjects can be surprisingly educational!
I hadn't realised how Rolex had been linked to "The Great Escape" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolex). Looking back over old Rolex ads I was reminded that it used to be a top quality >product< rather than a gold-plated status symbol/male jewelry item.
And in the early strips Hourman was refered to as "Tick-Tock" which is sort of weird but much less revealling – I guess batman, aquaman, superman, hakman, etc. started a trend he could not buck.
Another week when I think everyone excelled – although for composition I would have to give it to Caanan.
Unfortunately I know NOTHING about Manga for next week…
Brian, what do you mean by "Western comic book character?" Your tweet said "American," so are you now widening it to all Western countries or narrowing it to the American Wild West?
the fruit pie strip is becoming a poster on my wall as soon as I refill my printer.
Brian, what do you mean by "Western comic book character?" Your tweet said "American," so are you now widening it to all Western countries or narrowing it to the American Wild West?
Western as in American, European, etc. But since people took that to mean "Wild West," I changed it to "American."
Good to know, thanks. As much as I like the Wild West, that would severely limit the potential fun!
A huge CONGRATULATIONS to Caanan on his Eisner nomination!!!
Fantastic news about the Eisner award Caanan. Congratulations and good luck!!!!!!!!
I really wish I would've thought of Hellboy/IHOP. That would have been much more fitting.
+1 for buttler's prediction

Tick something off Dad's bucket list
Australia's favourite online travel destination, Wotif.com, has released thetop bucket-list destinations for male travellers based on the results of a recent survey of almost 7,000 respondents.
Wotif.com spokesperson, Kirsty La Bruniy said that 84% of male respondents revealed they had a specific destination at the top of their travel bucket list.
"Europe was the most popular destination, making its way to the top of many men's bucket lists, with New York specifically taking second place, followed by the USA as a whole," Ms La Bruniy said.
"With so much on offer in Europe, with everything from Germany's famous beer halls to some of the world's best ski slopes, not to mention the variety of cuisines to try, it's no surprise Europe is the must-see destination for Aussie males.
"While Europe and New York were popular with both sexes, USA, Canada and South America also rated high on men's bucket lists.
"The rugged landscapes of these countries and outdoor activities such as hiking the Grand Canyon or snowboarding in Canada are no doubt appealing to blokes."
Ms La Bruniy said the top reason for men selecting their must-see destination was the iconic attractions they offer.
"It's not all action and adventure though, with more than a quarter of the male respondents interested in the well-known attractions, closely followed by a destination'

The future's really cool sometimes: We get to use all sorts of new technology tools and cloud-based services to help us manage our health. That constellation of apps, trackers, tests, and gadgets gives huge insight into our health and bodies, which is useful to millions… but it also lets a stunning amount of the most personal data out into the wild, unregulated and uncontrolled. [More]
Medical Data Privacy Laws Don't Actually Cover Apps, Wearables, And Other Consumer Stuff
JCPenney Has Lots Of Data On Shoppers, Isn't Using It For Anything
The new CEO of JCPenney, a chain of department stores that had a brief and disastrous attempt at becoming more hip and upscale, says that the company is done "patching holes" in its business, and that it's time to start building itself up for the future. That includes something that retailers now generally take for granted: using its customer data to sell more stuff to the customers that it has. [More]
Pitfalls Of Big Data: Test Prep Company Charges By Geography, Ends Up Charging More By Race
Many teenagers' parents want to give their kids every possible advantage when it comes to the SATs. They pony up a few thousand dollars and buy Junior a test-prep course. It's expensive, but at least it's the same kind of expensive for everyone, right? Well, no, it's not. And worst of all: there sure is an awfully high correlation between the race of the family doing the buying and the price that they get charged. [More]
Facebook Patent Would Allow Lenders To Determine Creditworthiness By Looking At Your 'Friends'
Earlier this year Facebook announced it would dip its toes into the pool of mobile payments by launching a system that allowed users to send money to friends via the Messenger app. Now it appears the company may take things a bit farther after receiving approval for a patent this week that would allow creditors to determine whether or not someone is worthy of a loan based on their circle of friends on the social networking site.

Your Personal Information Is Probably Going To Be For Sale When The Company You Gave It To Is
You've signed up for a dating site, and it has promised up and down not to sell your data for marketing purposes. One year in, so far so good. Except the site folds, and someone else buys its assets — and those assets include all your personal info. The new owners made no privacy promise, and now your likes, dislikes, and dating history are floating down you-know-what creek without you. [More]
Privacy Advocates Abandon Facial Recognition Policy Talks In Protest
Facial recognition still kind of sounds like science fiction, but is a tech reality. It is, however, still a fairly new and unregulated reality — nobody quite knows how to handle it. So the Commerce Department brought together privacy advocates and industry representatives to hammer out a new code of conduct… and it is not going well. In fact, several of the advocates claim, the process is so broken that it can't be fixed, and they are walking out. [More]
Big Data Predicts Pollen Levels, Keeps Allergy Medicines In Stock
Here in the Northeast, people who are allergic to pollen are having a harsh spring. They should take comfort, though, that there isn't a corresponding shortage of allergy medicines, as there apparently was five years ago. Drug companies have learned how to take global climate data and turn it into more plentiful antihistamines when people need them. [More]
Big Data Is Here To Stay. So Can We Use It To Make Recalls Actually Work?
Sometimes products are unsafe. From bacteria-filled food to shrapnel-shooting airbags, on occasion even the most conscientious company will find itself needing to recall a product if it turns out to be harmful to consumers. But recalls are a big pain in the butt all around. One of the biggest issues? Actually letting consumers know that the stuff in their hands or on their shelves has, in fact, actually been recalled. [More]
Lawmakers Want To Know Who's Tracking You Online, And Where The Info Goes
Everything you do online — on your phone, on your computer, with anything — leaves a digital wake. Put those trails together and you've got one massive big data industry that can (and does) track it all and sell it to the highest bidder. After decades of digital detritus building up, regulators and Congress both are contemplating some steps that would help protect consumers' info. [More]
Study: "Anonymous" Credit Card Data Is Actually Completely Identifiable
We all kind of know that credit card data isn't terribly secure, and that the payment information is likely to get swiped eventually. But that information is all theoretically anonymous. Without a name, address, or ZIP code attached, our credit card information doesn't say much about us personally, right? Wrong. [More]
Hospitals Now Use Consumers' Personal Habits To Predict Health Issues
By now we know that every purchase a consumer makes is added to a list detailing one's spending and life-style habit, which is used to target people for marketing campaigns and other services. But how would you feel if that information was used by your doctors to keep tabs on your health? [More]
Private Companies Building Giant Unregulated Databases Tracking License Plate Location Info
Do you know everywhere your car has been in the past week? Month? Year? You may or may not remember it all, but there's a good chance that your license plate has had its photo snapped, and its location recorded, a whole bunch of times in that period. And anyone who can pony up the cash for a subscription to that database can tell exactly where you've been. [More]
Predictive Models, Secret Scores: How Computers Decide Who You Are & What To Sell You
Savvy consumers all know that their lifetime debt history ends up in their credit score, and that lenders use that score to try to predict if someone is a good bet for a big loan like a mortgage. But even the most-connected consumer may not realize how many hundreds of other scores we all now trail in our wakes too, thanks to the advent of big data. Do you know, to the last decimal, how likely are you to buy jewelry? To sign up for cable? To have a kid in the next year? Someone, somewhere, is tallying all of that information about almost everyone. But good luck finding out what's out there, who's scoring it, and if your numbers are even actually about you at all. [More]
No Surprise Here: Credit Reports Created With Your Online Information Are Mostly Inaccurate
More than 64 million Americans are cut off from access to traditional banking because they lack credit history. To better serve these unbanked consumers financial institutions are relying on the promises of big data brokers to accurately determine the creditworthiness of consumers. But is the new method a reliable way to provide affordable access to credit? Not really, a new report by the National Consumer Law Center points out. [More]
Bad News: Your Medical Records Are Probably For Sale
Electronic medical records are kind of cool: they help your doctors beam your prescription records back and forth from pharmacies and are supposed to save everyone money and time. What you may not realize, though, is that digital records are easy to share, and what's easy to share is easy to sell. Somewhere, your most private medical data is probably for sale. [More]

On Windows 7 the computer freezes for about 5 minutes once it gets to "Shutting down...". I can't remember when it started happening. I just lived with it for a while.
The first thing I tried was a full scan using Microsoft Security Essentials. This did not solve the problem.
I then went into msconfig and turned off everything I could get away with in the startup and services tabs. This did not solve the problem.
I then uninstalled every program on this computer save the most basic programs. This did not solve the problem (did not uninstall drivers or catalyst).
I then went through and turned off every single service and did a reboot. This did not solve the problem.
I then booted into safe mode and just tried shutting it down. The problem even happens in safe mode.

Appellate Judges Question Apple's Trade Secrets Claim
Appellate Judges Question Apple's Trade Secrets Claim
by , 4:35 PM EDT, April 20th, 2006
In the ongoing legal battle between Apple and PowerPage publisher Jason O'Grady, the State of California Court of Appeal, Sixth Appellate District pushed Apple lawyers during a hearing Thursday, going so far as to directly question Apple's claim that product information leaked to PowerPage constituted a trade secret.
ZDNet's Ina Fried reported that the court's presiding judge, Conrad Rushing, asked an Apple attorney, "You don't really claim this is a new technology? This is plugging a guitar into a computer."
The question referred to a never-released product named Asteroid that Apple was developing for the digital music recording market. A FireWire breakout box, Asteroid would have acted as an interface between guitars (and other real instruments) and your Macs.
In response to the question, attorney George Riley called the release of this information to a Web site a "very serious theft," the same argument made by Apple in earlier hearings covered by The Mac Observer.
"(The three Web sites) were merely fencing stolen information," Mr. Riley told Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge James Kleinberg in a March 4th, 2005 hearing. "We're vitally concerned about the precedent this would set. We didn't bring this case lightly."
That hearing resulted in Judge Kleinberg granting Apple access to the e-mail records of Jason O'Grady, which is what is being appealed to the Court of Appeals.
Attorneys with the Electronic Freedom Foundation representing Mr. O'Grady have attacked Apple's attempts to gain access to his sources in part because the company did not exhaust other avenues, something required by established precedent in cases where corporations looked to gain access to a journalist's sources. Specifically, Apple didn't question its own employees under oath, something that Apple has said in court it shouldn't have to do.
Though Judge Kleinberg agreed with Apple, issuing the original ruling giving Apple the access it wanted, tough questioning from the appellate court might be an indication that it considers press freedoms to be more important.
That said, however, there are many examples of appellate judge questioning that have appeared to indicate the court's direction, only to have a different ruling. Accordingly, readers should be cautioned from reading too much into today's hearing.
There is more information on the hearing in Ina Fried's coverage at ZDNet.

text: If you're like a lot of couples out there, you and your partner have very different parenting styles. But that doesn't mean what he's doing is wrong. Men may be from Mars, but when it comes to bringing up babies (and toddlers, preschoolers, and teens), they can be just as effective as women. According to a report from the American Academy of Pediatrics, dads can be a positive influence on their children's development. And research shows that when kids bond with their dads they feel more secure and curious — and less likely to lose it when they get frustrated. So let your partner discover his own parenting style. Better yet, steal these tips from the typical papa's playbook and find ways to make them work for you.

Zemlinsky: A Florentine Tragedy – Heike Wessels, Sergey Skorokhodov, Albert Dohmen; Zemlinsky: Six Maeterlinck Songs – Petra Lang, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Vladimir Jurowski
Entranced and inspired by Oscar Wilde's dark, death-ridden play, Alexander Zemlinsky conjured up his most colourful orchestral canvas in the one-act opera A Florentine Tragedy. Set in sixteenth-century Florence, the opera tells of jealousy, betrayal, and, ultimately, murder. Under Vladimir Jurowski the London Philharmonic Orchestra provides a rich and lavish backdrop for this gripping tale of passion and revenge, which is followed by the haunting, sensuous Six Maeterlinck Songs.
"... stunning disc."
James H North - Fanfare - January/February 2015
"...This recording was made at a performance at London's Royal Festival Hall. The recorded sound is just as opulent as the music, catching many a detail in wide, spreading beauty. The opera's three singers are also lovely of voice, with Dohmen sounding a bit like a young George London. It's a grand affair. But the best is yet to come: Petra Lang's gorgeously opulent singing of the Maeterlinck songs. She is tremulous (not vocally) with emotion as she interprets the text.."
Charles Parsons - American Record Guide - January/February 2015
**** (Excellent album)
Giuseppe Rossi - Musica magazine (Italy) - February 2015
Performance (A Florentine Tragedy) ***** (Maeterlinck Songs) **** Recording ****
Editor's Choice
"A masterly account of Zemlinsky's intense one-act opera ... All three parties to the soomed love triangle are supremely well-sung ... The Maeterlinck songs make a generous bonus, rapturously sung by Petra Lang. Excellent live recordings." *****

Financial Success and Cultural Flair in the City
Over 100 skyscrapers not only make for a distinctive skyline in Frankfurt, but also give rise to optimism in regard to employment opportunities for expats working in the business industry in particular. With one of the largest stock exchanges in the world, finance, banking, and insurance provide career options for expats at the many national or foreign banks. The city also attracts expats from all over the world thanks to one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country and numerous jobs available throughout. Frankfurt has repeatedly ranked in the top 20 for best quality of life and also best cities for living and of course nominated as one of the richest European cities by GDP per capita for 2014.
With excellent transport links such as the famous Autobahn system and great rail connections as well as easy access to other European capitals, moving to Frankfurt is an easy choice for those involved with international business. After all, Frankfurt's airport is the third busiest in Europe and a central aviation hub.
Expats should be aware that the process of finding accommodations in Frankfurt can be expensive and sometimes very time consuming. While there is enough available housing, you have to be quick and well prepared with all of the documentation in order to secure your new home.
Outside of work and apartments, Frankfurt offers to you and your family the option of free public schooling in addition to many international schools, which provide expat children with excellent standard of education. Moreover, the city is full with well-maintained parks and playgrounds where parents can spend some quality time with their kids. This multicultural city also provides the beautiful setting of the river Main for cyclists, runners and picnic lovers, as well as festivals throughout the year.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the business district, there's plenty of culture to enjoy, including the strikingly beautiful Palmengarten, the largest botanical garden in Germany, the Frankfurt Opera House, regularly voted to be the best in Europe, and Goethe House, former residence of Frankfurt's literary son, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Plenty of museums will also keep you busy, including the extensive collection of Dinosaur fossils at Naturmuseum Senckenberg, the Historical Museum, and the art exhibitions at the distinctive Museum for Modern Art.
Germany has a continental climate with warm summers and cold winters that dominate the seasons. Expats coming from outside of Europe will enjoy Frankfurt, especially during the winter, when the city opens the many Christmas markets and the whole center is adorned with Christmas decorations.

The refusal places Education Minister Hekia Parata in a tight
spot - her officials have said the person should be
The payment was one of a cluster of issues identified in the
EY (Ernst & Young) report into Te Kohanga Reo National
Trust. The report did not deal with the allegations which
sparked the inquiry - they were ruled out of bounds.
But the $50,000 payment was inside the review's limited remit
and it was identified among a number of credit card and koha
rule breaches. The problems were singled out in a briefing
note from the Ministry of Education to Ms Parata.
Early childhood education general manager Karl Le Quesne said
the trust "was required to disclose this payment in their
2012 annual report".
Ms Parata's office did not return calls to say whether she
backed her officials' view.
But the trust's spokesman, Derek Fox, said the trust would
not reveal which of its board members got the payment.
He said it was a payment to a board member who had worked
"well above the call of duty"on its successful claim to the
Waitangi Tribunal.
"It wasn't a related party transaction - it was a koha," said
Mr Fox.
Fresh claims of misspending by the trust have been referred
by Ms Parata and Maori Affairs Minister Pita Sharples to the
Serious Fraud Office, though some are questioning why it took
so long to target the source of the original allegations.
The SFO will look at the trust's commercial wing, Te Pataka
It came after an unnamed trustee wrote to the ministers with
new allegations about the trust's spending which Ms Parata
said she could not ignore.
The SFO inquiry came after the release of an independent
audit on Monday evening, which found no misuse of public
money by the trust. The EY audit did not look at spending by
Te Pataka Ohanga because it was deemed a private
Prime Minister John Key, in China, said Ms Parata was right
to take the issue "very seriously"because it related to the
spending of taxpayers' money.
The case originally came to light on a Native Affairs
programme which detailed the subsidiary's spending on a
wedding dress, a Trelise Cooper dress and cash withdrawals
for the general manager's daughter.
Ms Parata said it was a third party which the Government had
no power over.

The Conventions of Film NoirPeta Darby (Dickson College, 2009)
The Film Noir sub-genre of Crime Fiction follows a series of rigid conventions that must be strictly adhered to. James M. Cain's Double Indemnity demonstrates the effective observance of these conventions, along with the modern films Brick and The Man Who Wasn't There. One significant convention of the Film Noir sub-genre is the use of visual motifs, which feature strong shadows that often obscure the characters in focus. Film Noir conventionally features archetypal characters who play prominent roles in the fiction, most notably the femme fatale. The combination of visual motifs and archetypal characters accentuate the pessimistic world view that underlies successful Film Noir. Adherence to these conventions of the sub-genre generates powerful, effective Film Noir.
The use of visual motifs is a significant convention featured in the Film Noir subgenre of Crime Fiction. The lighting in the subgenre is very dark and often partially, if not fully, obscures the faces of characters. This is a visual device used predominantly in intense moments to add to the uncertainty of the scene. Shadows are used to obscure the protagonist's and other significant characters' faces, which is a technique that distances the reader through their perceived lack of clear understanding of the characters. This is seen throughout The Man Who Wasn't There, as the characters in focus are often silhouetted against a lighter background, emphasizing the way in which the protagonist is unable to clearly understand the characters around him, also distancing the viewer from the protagonist himself. The obscuring of characters is also referred to in Double Indemnity as Huff describes that "The night light over [his] head was the only light in the room. I could only half see him…".[1] This description of the obscuring of Keyes' face accentuates Huff's inability to predict Keyes' actions and heightens the sense of nervousness apparent in that moment. Using lighting techniques to obscure the characters' faces is just one conventional visual motif that must be included to create effective Film Noir.
Archetypal characters such as the femme fatale are conventionally featured in Film Noir. The femme fatale is an alluring, naturally seductive and manipulative woman, who is largely motivated by her greed for money. Once introduced to the main characters, she proceeds to manipulate them to create a situation in which she is able to bring about their ultimate downfall, or death, for her own gain. The character Laura in the film Brick plays the role of the femme fatale, manipulating all the characters around her for personal gain, leading to the death of all but one. She is dangerous to her surrounding characters, which is evident as the main character Brendon illustrates how Emily, the victim, "saw [Laura] and ran like she saw some devil".[2] Laura's actions and the way in which other characters perceive her are typical of the femme fatale. Phyllis Nirdlinger, in Double Indemnity, also plays the role of a femme fatale, deliberately causing the death of numerous people around her to fulfill her own greed. When the reasons behind her actions are finally realised, Keyes describes her as a "… cobra…, a pathological case…".[3] Both Phyllis and Laura are typical femme fatales, consciously orchestrating the death of many characters to fulfill their greed and avoid blame. The two femme fatales also meet their downfall in their respective stories. This, along with most characters' vast inability to avoid or disobey them, expands the feeling of impending doom in the fiction, which is distinctive of Film Noir. The use of the femme fatale accentuates the ominous atmosphere of the fiction, and is a convention which should most certainly be adhered to.
A strongly pessimistic world view is a conventional theme that can be used to essentially describe Film Noir. Many other conventions apparent in the sub-genre highlight this theme as a major convention. The visual motifs, including dark lighting and prominent shadows, draw attention to this theme as they make the characters in general appear untrustworthy. The use of the femme fatale also emphasizes this theme as it heightens the sense of impending doom, that the world is heading toward an imminent end. The use of these conventions accentuates the Film Noir perspective of the world, which insinuates that the world is a place that is inherently corrupt, filled with people in unwanted situations and who are striving against fate. This is evident in The Man Who Wasn't There through Ed Crane's narration, which repeatedly expresses the hardship endured in life on this world. He describes himself as having "…made it to the outside somehow, and they were all still struggling way down below".[4] Ed's description of the people in his world presents a very pessimistic view of the world, furthering this theme. In the film Brick, The Pin's description of life in his world insinuates a strongly pessimistic world view. The Pin explains that life "…gets tough… twisted and complicated… everyone's got their thing".[5] The Pin's insinuation of the prominent difficulties and selfish nature of the world around him deepens the incessant negativity present in the story. This pessimistic view of the world is also present in Double Indemnity, predominately through Huff and his portrayal of the world. "[Huff] had seen so many houses burned down, so many cars wrecked, so many corpses with blue holes in their temples, so many awful things that people had pulled…".[6] The relentless referral to the flawed world in which the characters live strengthens the pessimistic view of the Noir world. A pessimistic world view is the theme that ultimately defines all Film Noir and must always be evident in the Crime Fiction sub-genre.
There are many strong conventions that are included in effective Film Noir. Double Indemnity, as well as the recent films Brick and The Man Who Wasn't There, provides powerful examples of these conventions. The use of visual motifs, such as low, shadowed lighting, is a convention that increases the distance between the audience and the characters within the story. The inclusion of archetypal characters like the femme fatale assists in insinuating the inescapability of the world's doom. The use of both visual motifs and archetypal characters helps to portray the incessant, conventional theme of a pessimistic world view. The adherence to its rigid set of conventions is essential in producing powerful, distinctive Film Noir.

MONTGOPMERY, Ala. (AP) - State and federal authorities are
investigating a suspicious letter that arrived at the Alabama
Capitol addressed to the governor.
State Public Safety Director Chris Murphy said Capitol police were notified about 12:30 p.m. Monday of a suspicious letter in the mail room in the basement of the Capitol. Tests showed it did not contain anthrax or any other dangerous substance.
Murphy said no one was injured. But the Montgomery Fire Department's hazardous materials team and two ambulances were called as a precaution.
Murphy said similar letters arrived Monday for the governors of Mississippi, Missouri, Michigan and Rhode Island.

According to Halacha what is the earliest time can you say Sefiras HaOmer each night and be Yotzei?
Mi Yodeya is a question and answer site for those who base their lives on Jewish law and tradition and anyone interested in learning more. Join them; it only takes a minute:

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Shulchan Aruch Harav (489:12) says that if one mistakenly counted the Omer after plag haminchah, he should re-count later, but without a berachah - in deference to Tosafos' opinion that plag haminchah can be considered the beginning of the night for purposes of saying Shema.
Based on this, I would venture that if the person forgot to re-count later that evening (or anytime during the following day), then this would be grounds enough to say after the fact that he was yotzei with this early counting, and to be able to continue counting the subsequent days with a berachah.

"Band's gig 'a perfect fit:When Rachel Burrum, the museum's educational programs and events coordinator, was booking bands for this year's event, she looked to highlight South Sound bands whose music matched the retro feel of the farm…For bassist Ryan Ramsdell of The Cottonwood Cutups, a trio consisting of Ramsdell and brothers Jesse Hill and Joel Hill, the gig is a perfect fit…The Cottonwood Cutups got their start just a couple of summers ago, when Ramsdell and the Hill brothers decided to expand on their campfire jams… "We started finding our sound," he said… We started coming up with original songs that we had composed on our own and folded them into the band. I think we all equally write lyrics and compose a lot of the melody and rhythms separately, then it all comes together in practice."The band has a 7-song EP out, but Ramsdell said the band is hoping to scratch together enough to go into the studio this fall and record a full length album, hopefully followed by a West Co"
"Tacoma's veteran singer-songwriter Jeanlizabeth turned Jazzbones into her private living room for a CD release party turned jam session Wednesday night that included sets from up-and-comers KC Brakes Music and The Cottonwood Cutups. Bumblebees marks her third album and was an effort that took four years to make. The CD packs eight original songs with her on vocals, guitar and percussion by Jeanlizabeth, with lead guitar and dobro by the local legend Evan Purcell, winner of the Weekly Volcano's People's Choice Award for Best Male Singer/Songwriter 2009 and Best Guitarist 2010...While the night showcase the new works, a few oldies crept into the mix for good measure. KC Brakes, of course, brought the sauce with his covers and original works while Cottonwood Cutups spanked the stage like a Parkland momma finding her children with a mouthful of cookies. The rockabilly jams on standup bass and mandolin about whiskey and hangovers rounded out the night."

"January 8, 2012 at 1:53pm Sundays: Open Mic in Steilacoom By Steve Dunkelberger Last Sunday, I dropped by the Steilacoom Pub and Deli for its weekly open mic, hosted by singer/songwriter Jeanne Hopkins - or as many know her, Jeanlizabeth. Hopkins told me she's putting the final touches on her next album, which will likely be out this spring. This open mic feels more like a club than a show. The musicians play to mostly other musicians, so folks try out new songs, ask for feedback and freestyle. Cottonwood Cutups, which just released a CD, and KC Brakes, a regular at C.I. Shenanigans's weekend jazz nights, lit up the joint last week. "
"Coffee-shop concert honors fallen Lakewood officers www.king5.com Dozens of people packed the Forza Coffee shop in Parkland Tuesday night to honor four Lakewood Police officers who were killed there two years ago...

Black ice after a ''late freeze'' caused several crashes in
the Queenstown Lakes region yesterday.
Two of them occurred near Arrowtown, one resulting in a local
man being taken to hospital.
The other was on the Crown Range road.
Sergeant Steve Watt, of Queenstown police, said a 41-year-old
Arrowtown man was taken to Lakes District Hospital for checks
after rolling his car near the intersection of Malaghans Rd
and Coronet Peak View Rd at about 8.30am.
The man was travelling to Queenstown when he lost control
after hitting black ice on a bend.
The vehicle hit a bank on the other side of the road, causing
it to roll and crash through a farmer's fence, Sgt Watt said.
The man, who remained in his vehicle until emergency services
arrived, was taken to hospital after complaining of neck and
shoulder pain.
The driver of a following car who stopped at the scene told
police her vehicle also slipped on ice on the same bend, but
she managed to regain control.
The black ice had formed about 8am after overnight rain, Sgt
Watt said.
A resident of the nearby Millbrook estate was unhurt after
her vehicle slid on ice and hit a block wall beside a road
within the estate.
Also, a minor single-vehicle accident occurred about 8.30am
near the area known as ''the icebox'' on the Crown Range
There were no injuries in the crash, which was attended by
Wanaka police.

Justin Leone, Tantris' American sommelier, is pairing a selection of fine red and white wines from the Tantris wine cellar to bring out the best in this family-style meal.
This year we are looking forward to our musical guest, the 7-voice a cappella group Bar Nineteen, who will perform for us throughout the evening, from Glühwein to dessert.
This year at Thanksgiving, bring your family and friends, co-workers and neighbors, to the restaurant Zum Brunnwart on November 26th for an unforgettable evening of holiday socialising and fine dining. Help Global H2O fulfil our mission of making the world a little better… one well at a time.

Installed the latest WP ecommerce today, July 6, 2010 onto WP 3.0. Spent half a day customizing it for a client. Went to the Products section in the admin panel, and, although I had entered half a dozen products, the message on the Display Products page with View All Categories selected by defualt is: "You have no products added."
I selected one of the two categories I had created in that same admin window (Display Products) and hit the filter button, and there was a list of my products - for a second I was hopeful - but when I clicked on the name of the product or the "Edit" link for any product, no details showed to edit. Completely blank. Still shows the Add Product fields on the right side of the page. no change.
Am I crazy? Is the product there? Yes. If I click on the View button under one of the product names, it shows up on my site. If I navigate my site, it is there. I just can't edit it.
Relief from the fact you can click ont he edit button from the site to take you to the screen to edit a product.

New Super Luigi U
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that New Super Luigi U is an expansion to New Super Mario Bros. U that offers dozens of new levels, most much harder than anything encountered in the original game. You must own the original game to play this expansion. It has the same kind of mild cartoon mischief and violence as in Mario games past -- expect lots of shell-hopping and fireball flinging -- and little else to worry about. Keep in mind, though, that Luigi, like Mario, is a Nintendo icon and that there is plenty of merchandise out there bearing his visage that will likely become a lot more appealing to kids who play this game.
What kids can learn
Thinking & Reasoning
- solving puzzles
- strategy
- friendship building
- cooperation
- meeting challenges together
- teamwork
Engagement, Approach, Support
The graphics are beautiful and the controls tight and intuitive, but this extremely challenging platformer will likely turn off kids who are easily discouraged.
Kids who can stomach the trying level design will learn to work closely with other players in boost mode, where constant communication is necessary in order to overcome dynamic obstacles.
Instructions, aids, and feedback aren't provided in game, but players may find help in the New Super Mario Bros. U section of Miiverse, where a community of fans post hints and tips and share strategies.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's it about?
An expansion to New Super Mario Bros. U, NEW SUPER LUIGI U puts players in the shoes of Mario's fraternal, lime-loving twin and offers eight worlds worth of redesigned levels -- dozens in all -- that are both shorter and much harder than most found in the original game. The countdown timer is set to 100 for all levels, which leaves very little time for casual exploration. Complicating matters, players will encounter harder enemies that show up in more devious locations -- like right where you want to land after a tricky jump. And the terrain can prove extremely challenging, especially in later levels where firm ground is often nowhere to be seen, forcing players to pull off miracle moves as they leap from one quickly moving platform to another, avoiding enemies along the way.
Luckily, Luigi can float in the air a little longer than his bro -- which gives players a bit of breathing room for longer jumps. Still, this is one hard game. It can be downloaded through the Wii U online shop or purchased on disc in stores as of August 25, 2013. The original New Super Mario Bros. U is required to play.
Is it any good?
New Super Luigi U basically serves as a challenge mode for veterans of the original game looking for something that will really put their running and jumping skills to the test. Talented players should get a real kick out of it. Less skilled players can have fun, too, so long as they use the boost mode carried over from the main game, which allows a second player to use the GamePad to create platforms in the sky, making some of the more frustrating levels a lot easier.
However, if you want to play with a few friends, each controlling a character, you can expect some headaches. The extreme and relentless difficulty of some levels makes it nearly impossible to communicate quickly enough, which means you'll likely perish multiple times before finding success. It's a good expansion with at least six or seven hours' worth of fresh content, but it's not without caveats.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about teamwork. What sorts of strategies do you use to communicate quickly and efficiently with your friends while playing games? Do you get frustrated if your co-players don't work cooperatively with you?
Families can also discuss whether stressful games that require split-second timing might help develop skills that you can use in other areas of your life. Can you think of any real-world activities in which the ability to think quickly and make fast decisions might come in handy?

The Office of University Development is committed to the continued advancement of Benedictine University. We challenge our alumni and donors to support the University in order to transform our future and ensure the growth and development of the institution and our students.
You can give a residence or farm to Benedictine University, receive an income tax deduction for doing so, and still retain full use of the property during your lifetime. This type of gift is known as a gift of a remainder interest in a personal residence or farm. After you make the gift, nothing changes as far as the actual use of the property. You can continue living in your personal residence or continue living on or renting your farm property. Depending on your age, the immediate income tax deduction received for the transfer of property can be a substantial percentage of the fair market value of the real estate. At your death, the University becomes the sole owner of the property and directly benefits from the proceeds of the property's sale. It is even possible, in some instances, to give Benedictine a remainder interest in your residence or farm in exchange for a gift annuity so that you have the benefits of both lifetime use of the property and lifetime annuity payments from Benedictine University.
Benefits of a Gift Remainder Interest in Personal Residence or Farm
- Immediate income tax deduction
- Lifetime use of your residence or farm
- Significant gift to Benedictine University
