Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
The latest release from NBM Publishing, Why I Killed Peter, by writer Oliver Ka and artist Alfred, is a striking and uncomfortable look at a young French boy's molestation by a priest who was a friend of his family. The book is as brilliant as it is uncomfortable, as Alfred and Ka merge together to form some pages of unforgettably effective storytelling.
First off, how neat is that cover, with the dueling profiles?
The set-up for the comic is that Ka has each chapter open up at a different year in his young life, with the tagline "I Killed Peter Because I'm 7 Years Old," "I Killed Peter Because I'm 8 Years Old," etc.
Ka grew up the son of two hippies in France during the 1970s, although he spent a lot of time with his very religious grandparents. Even as a child, Ka had a certain maturity (perhaps forced upon him by the lifestyle) and he would question the way his parents denounced religion while allowing him to be partially raised by grandparents that his parents KNEW would be forcing religion upon him. So if they had such a problem with religion, why let Oliver be raised with religion?
That's part of the interesting beginning of the book, but soon Peter is introduced, a local priest who befriends Oliver's parents.
Oliver and Peter strike up a friendship.
The two are friends for a number of years and Oliver attends the summer camp that Peter runs for kids.
It is when Oliver is 12 years old that the molestation takes place, and wow, these are amazing pages by Ka and artist Alfred. Throughout the book, Alfred has a nice expressive style, but in the actual scenes leading up to the molestation, he really shines.
The way Peter convinces Oliver to help him out is well-written, and I especially love how Oliver knows what is going on is wrong, but he doesn't want to be seen as some sort of baby not willing to go along with helping his friend Peter.
The actual molestation scenes are uncomfortable as all hell, but in a good way, of course – in an artistic "Wow, they are totally getting me to feel the fear of the character as this takes place" sense.
Later on, there is an excellent passage where Oliver confronts Peter and his younger self in his mind – Alfred gives this passage a good, surrealistic style.
Oliver writes in the story about how he and Alfred began working together on this project (there is a cool bit where they intermix the photos Alfred took for reference with the actual drawn panels), and this leads to a powerful ending that is as uncomfortable and as powerful as the molestation scenes.
This is an excellent work.
(Thanks to Paul Gravett's review for the scans from the work)
Awesome!! It will take some effort to get my hands on the book, but from what I can see, it's really worth it! ^__^
Man, this book sounds chilling. I want to find it.
[…] adds its rave for this […]
[…] The book opens with perhaps my favorite story of the bunch, drawn by Alfred (Alfred drew the great graphic novel Why I Killed Peter, also from NBM, which I reviewed here). […]

Specially designed to keep the key parts of your concert ukulele safe from the outside world.
Lke the rest of the M80 Series Mono Cases, the M80 Concert Ukulele Case is designed from the inside out to be one of the lightest, thinnest, strongest, and most versatile carrying solutions for the professional musician. A hybrid case featuring an ultra-light laminated foam shell with strategically placed ABS panels, the M80 Case provides an extremely high level of protection for your most-prized investments. Smart features like the Clip/Tuck straps make for easy airport travel, while the streamlined profile helps you slip through the crowds.
Strap it On
Mono Cases' innovative neckbrace design provides a level of protection worthy of the finest instruments. Your guitar quickly straps in and remains stabilized during transport. The headstock is suspended inside the case, saving the guitar from impacts that could otherwise snap the neck.
Wear It Out
The M80 Concert Ukulele Case is built to military specs, using only high-test materials with extreme resistance to abrasion and the elements. Inside, the plush lining protects delicate custom finishes. So your ukulele rides first class while you launch an urban assault.
Plug and Play
This case is designed so that everything is in its place. Specialized storage compartments put your gear right where you need it. Deep gussets make sure your small items stay put. And the hidden upper pocket keeps your wallet, keys, and cell concealed on a subway or train ride.
- Neckbrace absorbs horizontal impact, keeping headstock safely suspended
- Turning pegs are kept away from the sides of the case minimizing de-tuning from side impact
- On vertical drops, the impact is diverted up and away from the strap pin
- Integral ABS panels deliver hardcase protection at a fraction of the weight
- Steel rivets on handle
- Solid rubber sole is concrete-proof
- Waterproof Sharkskin outer shell
- Anti-skip zippers
- Pick pocket
- Clip-tuck straps allow you to quickly stash 1 or both shoulder straps on the fly
- Hidden headstock pocket
This case's job is to serve and protect. It'd be a crime if you didn't order it now.

Comments about MONO M80 Concert Ukulele Case:
I bought this case for my wife's Martin C1K concert ukulele. I think it is a good investment to protect your instrument. Very well padded. This case rivals good quality hard shell cases. It is light weight and constructed very well. It should last for a lifetime. The design is very functional with a nice main pocket for extras like strings, tuners and other things. Very high quality case.

I have query_posts() with page_type set as 'page'. Is there any way I can make certain pages appear higher and thus, make them sticky?
It doesn't appear that there is any obvious way to enable "sticky post" support for Pages, e.g. via
However, Pages support both hierarchy and menu order. I would recommend using menu order to output Pages in your preferred order.

The Mountain West announced that have adopted an eight-game conference football schedule starting in 2012. They also revealed their new logo.
The MWC will play a seven-game schedule in 2011 before moving to eight in 2012. That's when Fresno State, Hawaii and Nevada join the conference, while TCU departs for the Big East.
With the adoption of the eight -game schedule, MWC schools will be able to play four non-conference games each season. This helps schools bring in more revenue with extra home games, plus benefits Air Force who has to play Army and Navy every year.
So how will you determine who doesn't play who each season? I'm assuming it will be on a rotational basis, but it would be better to add the one additional conference game. Also, am I the only one who thinks that logo is going to be the most horrid in College Sports?
I'm guessing they will do a rotational basis, but have protected rivalries for each school. For example, Colorado State would have protected rivalries with Wyoming and Air Force, so they would ALWAYS play each other every year. Nevada protected rivalries with UNLV and Boise, for example.
That logo is ugly as hell
That logo is horrid!!! They need to revisit this.
I mentioned this before, but I too hate the logo. Frankly, I'm surprised that the MWC isn't getting sued for their logo. Go look at the current Doctor Who logo. It's exactly the same with DW instead of MW and the colors are blue and grey instead of purple and grey.
That is one ugly logo, but at least they don't have divisions named 'Leaders' and 'Legends'
TOTALLY agreed. Worst division names ever.
As far as scheduling goes, it's a good move. The reason the SEC is able to look better year after year over say the PAC-10 is because the PAC-10 makes sure there are 5 extra losses in the conference by playing a nine game schedule (now Pac-12 with 6 extra losses) Against AQ schools, the PAC-10 traditionally outdoes the rest the AQ conferences (not a PAC-10 fan, just stating facts). If the MWC wants to try to rise, they need to make sure Boise and what ever other schools want to step up have ample opportunity to still schedule 2 AQs, a tougher Non-AQ and a gimme game on a yearly basis.
That logo is Ann Coulter ugly…..
8 games was never on the table for a conference that includes Air Force. The Zoomies have always been opposed to the idea of not having 2 'true' open dates (on top of their conference schedule, they also always play Army & Navy).
Meant to say 9 games was never on the table.
Agreed! This logo is pretty bad. The former one was much more memorable and marketable.

Mr. Raney is simply amazing. This man is an angel. He was so professional and gave me so much guidance. He truly cares about his clients. He gives you his direct number and responds so quickly. I knew I was in good hands immediately. He is so smart and professional. He will fight for you and what is right. I am so thankful to have him on my side!!!
Posted by Melecia
If you are looking for a lawyer who is genuinely concerned about the well-being of his clients then Mr. Aaron Raney is the right representative. He listened to my situation, was clear and direct with his answers as well as explained what I could expect even under the worst circumstances (the good, bad, and ugly). He did not take advantage of my vulnerability or the retainer, but rather worked with me on the costs/fees. He went over and beyond any expectations I had for a lawyer including showing up to court at the last minute at the judges request! Throughout the process, he was very responsive, kept the communication lines open for whenever I needed him, and always kept me apprised of my situation. I would highly recommend Mr. Raney as a divorce attorney. You will not be disappointed.

Aaron was fantastic. He gave great guidance, worked with me on the costs, and was responsive to every email/text/phone call. I had a great deal of confidence that he was keeping me on the path for a successful outcome. I would recommend Aaron to anyone who needs a solid divorce lawyer.
Posted by a Wills client
We only met with Aaron once and then worked with his colleague from that point forward. But Aaron was knowledgeable, straightforward and to the point. We were happy will the end result.

In Reply.—We certainly agree with Dr Faigel that in many situations there is abuse of advanced technology in the form of "overtesting."
This particular infant, however, was suspected of having retropharyngeal abscess (RPA) several days before otolaryngologic consultation was obtained. A delay in treatment of an RPA leads to an increased risk that the infectious process may spread not only within the retropharyngeal space, but also to the parapharyngeal space, carotid sheath, and mediastinum. The surgical procedure for a complicated RPA is much different from that for an uncomplicated one. Most RPAs are incised and drained with a transoral approach. If there is spread of the abscess to the parapharyngeal space or within the retropharyngeal space below the hyoid bone, for example, an external neck approach is best.
As discussed in our article, a complete medical history, physical examination, and lateral neck roentgenography are the best tools for diag-nosing

Re: Financial Follies that Break the Relationsh
bvick27 wrote:
I never thought that financial issues could really create an end to a relationship but I was recently proved wrong! I got married 3 years ago and quickly learned that my wife came with alot of debt and credit issues. I couldn't really judge because while I had less debt, my credit was pretty miserable ( about 7k in student loans and 5k in delinquent ignored charge offs with a credit score around 450.) Shortly after we got married, I realized I needed to grow up and manage my finances. I quickly paid off all delinquent debt and brought my credit scores to a 610 within 6 months of it. I got my first credit cards in years (Amex Zync, Navy Fed Cash Back 7.5k, and Military Star 2.5k.) I now have credit scores around 660 (not great but on my way) and no real debt other than student loans which i have been on time on for over 2 years now. Througout this time I was talking to my wife about what we could do to repair her credit and get her out of debt. I am not the ideal saver but I work at it. She, on the other hand, was constantly asking for money because she would run out before her next pay day (we made roughly the same income totaling 75k) and I simply caved. She consistantly made poor financial decisions even when she said she understood what I was trying to teach her and planned to change and take care of things. She never did. I enabled this behavior because I was financially stable enough to provide vacations and cars and other luxuries that she could not contribute to. In the end, I found out 4 weeks ago she was having an affair. I am in Afghanistan and can't even file for divorce yet. She said she had become unhappy in our marriage because I put such a pressure on her in the financial realm (realistically I offered to even take over fixing her credit and all finances.) She said she felt like she was not an equal and I didn't treat her as one when it came to that stuff. Needless to say, it has lead to us getting divorced and I never thought me trying to fix everything would. C'est la vie! In short, simply being the one who is willing and able to handle finances can cause a relationship to fail when the other can not do the same.
Her issues are bigger than the financial. She's just using that as an easy blame and to put the responsibility on you. You don't have to buy into it. I'm not saying you had zero responsibility for the way this came about, but financial immaturity is a sign of immaturity in other areas of your life and decision making too. It took me more years of bad experience on my own than I care to admit to learn this. Hence my siggy line.

Virginia Beach, Virginia
Virginia Beach is an independent city located in the Hampton Roads metropolitan area of Virginia, on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Virginia Beach is a resort city with miles of beaches and hundreds of hotels, motels, and restaurants along its oceanfront. It is home to several state parks, several long-protected beach areas, three military bases, a number of large corporations, two universities, and numerous historic sites. Near the point where the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean meet, Cape Henry was the site of the first landing of the English colonists, who eventually settled in Jamestown, on April 26, 1607.

As a school assignment, I am supposed to create a program in C# that multiplies two polynomials using FFT over a finite field.
My finite field of choice would be Zp (all operations modulo p, the elements are {0,...,p - 1} ). I realized the p has to be large enough so that the factors in the resulting polynomial are not changed by the modulo operation.
Finding the nth primitive root of unity is easy for small n(in a corresponding finite field). However, I needed to find it for n = 220. I practically needed only this one as computing it for all the lower powers of 2 is done by squaring. I tried to write a simple program that would compute it(using the fact that there is 2r th root of unity in the finite field Zc*2r + 1), ran it for a pretty long time and it didn't finish. So I tried to Google something and only found a table of primitive nth roots for n = 2k for k = 0..30 in the field Z70383776563201 and used it. Of course when I used longint, it resulted in overflow and therefore, wrong answers. So I started using the BigInteger structure from the System.Numerics namespace. This is where I am, having a correct algorithm that is extremely slow:
private static List<BigInteger> FFT(List<BigInteger> input, BigInteger Omega)
if (input.Count == 1)
return new List<BigInteger>() { input[0] };
List<BigInteger> evenInput = new List<BigInteger>();
for (int i = 0; i < input.Count; i += 2)
List<BigInteger> oddInput = new List<BigInteger>();
for (int i = 1; i < input.Count; i += 2)
List<BigInteger> even = FFT(evenInput, (Omega * Omega));
List<BigInteger> odd = FFT(oddInput, (Omega * Omega));
BigInteger[] outputArr = new BigInteger[input.Count];
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < input.Count / 2; i++)
outputArr[i] = (even[i] + BigInteger.Pow(Omega, i) * odd[i]);
outputArr[i + input.Count / 2] = (even[i] - BigInteger.Pow(Omega, i) * odd[i]);
count += 2;
List<BigInteger> output = new List<BigInteger>();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
output.Add(outputArr[i] % finiteField);
return output;
I know that creating all the lists doesn't help the speed, but the main problem is the BigInteger structure of course.(I tried basically the same code with System.Numerics.Complex structure and it was as fast as it should be) The modulo operation takes extremely long, so I know I have to go back to longint. The problem is finding the primitive nth root of unity. I don't know if it's even possible to use the 220 th primitive root of unity with longint without having to worry about overflow. If not, for which n can I use longint and thus have a fast algorithm?
Is there a way of computing the primitive roots for large n faster? Maybe someone knows of a table of precomputed primitive roots in finite fields? Or should I consider using other finite fields? This is the only kind I know of. I have been searching for quite a long time and didn't come across anything useful. I have been told by the teacher that this area is well documented, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Asylum seekers stage walkout over inedible food at detention center
Asylum seekers have long complained about the half-cooked food in Israel's Holot detention center. African asylum seekers held in Israel's Holot detention center staged a walkout from the cafeteria on Saturday night to protest the half-cooked food served at the facility. [tmwinpost] The asylum seekers walked out just as dinner was being served, instead deciding to congregate outside the cafeteria. Only one detainee remained inside. Detainees at Holot have long complained about the food, which they claim is inedible. The daily menu in Holot includes hummus, tuna, four slices of bread and an uncooked egg.

Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 20 mins
I'm planning a Brazilian party, and this recipe looks good. This is my translation of the original translation;-)
Ingredients Nutrition

- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup water
- 1⁄2 cup coconut milk

- 3 tablespoons parsley
- Combine fish with lime juice and salt in a bowl.
- leave to marinate while you continue.
- Heat the olive oil in a large fry pan and add the onion and garlic.
- Cook until softened.
- Add the marinated fish, tomato paste, water and simmer for about 10 minutes over medium heat, or unti the fish is cooked through.

So wonderfully seasoned. I replaced the pepper sauce with 1 tablespoon Thai kitchen curry paste,the parsley with cilantro and keffer lime leaves. I think I would like to add Shrimp and scallops next time around to give it a more heartier stew. Served over Dal and Jasmin rice. Talk about bringing the world together through food. Thanks Jan!
There's nothing better than the traditional style of preparing moqueca. What I do is put onions, tomato, cilantro, chopped peppers and juice of a lime together in a large bowl, crush them together, then marinade the fish in it. Then I heat oil in a pan, add the fish and marinate, cook for a few minutes, then add a freshly squeezed coconut milk. I would recommend a freshly caught seabass for this. Please dont get me wrong, I'm not a brazilian, I'm a Filipino who just loves cooking. Enjoy!!! Nur Mujjer R. Nurani

With the premise that a child lives out the role of the hero of a book and thus obtains emotional release as well as gleaning general principles of conduct from the actions of the characters, the author has selected a group of books for children from the primary age group through adolescence. He gives a brief description of each book and enumerates the character traits and other topics emphasized in it.
The books selected for the primary group stress contentment, good manners, generosity, helpfulness and repentance; some are on the subject of babies. The books for the lower grades emphasize bravery, honesty and manliness. Those for the middle grades teach simplicity, obedience and thoughtfulness; some deal with the topics of sex education, fathers and prayer. Those for junior high school suggest unselfishness, promptness, study and honesty. The senior high school books cover these subjects and others, such as running away

The English Opium Eater
A Biography of Thomas De Quincey
Robert Morrison
Weidenfeld & Nicholson, $37.99, 462 pp.
Some writers tower over their age while others merge with it. Wordsworth and Coleridge stand like beacons over the early nineteenth century, while a writer like Thomas De Quincey remains part of the landscape. Robert Morrison's engaging biography of De Quincey does not try to undo this natural state of affairs by inflating its subject's importance. At the same time, there is something powerfully unique about De Quincey that cries out for analysis. Since his death in 1859 his admirers have included Hawthorne, Poe, Woolf, and a host of other writers up to the present. They have mainly admired his writing, though he remains most famous as a drug addict.
De Quincey was born in 1785 in Manchester, England. His father was a cultured and successful linen merchant, and his mother, who lived to the age of ninety-seven, was a devoted follower of the evangelist Hannah More. The father's literary tastes and the mother's piety made an odd mixture in the son, who achieved dizzying heights of self-cultivation while never losing a simple Christian faith. He had a natural gift for languages, and as a teenager was fluent in Latin and Greek. These and other gifts seemed to point to a scholarly career, yet an extreme emotional waywardness kept thwarting him. He traced this inner sense of dislocation to the death of his favorite sister, Elizabeth, when they were children. When she died, he wrote, "A vault seemed to open in the zenith of the far blue sky, a shaft which ran up for ever...

If your sarcoidosis does not cause any significant symptoms or medical problems, you may not need treatment. Instead, your doctor may decide to simply monitor your condition. As part of this monitoring process, you may have frequent office visits, follow-up chest X-rays and tests of your lung function.
To treat joint pain, acetaminophen (Tylenol) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) often are used first before corticosteroids, which tend to have more side effects. If you have signs of moderate or severe lung disease, your doctor may recommend a corticosteroid drug, such as prednisone (sold under several brand names). Corticosteroids also are used to treat sarcoidosis of the joints, skin, nerves or heart. Corticosteroid eye drops may be used for the eyes.
If corticosteroids are not effective or if they cause serious side effects, other drugs that alter or suppress the immune system may be used. Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) and methotrexate (Folex, Rheumatrex) are among the more common medications in this group.
Other options include leflunomide (Arava), cyclophosphamide, or azathioprine. Newer, injectable medications, including infliximab (Remicade) or adalimumab (Humira), may be effective when other treatments have failed. In rare cases, when sarcoidosis causes life-threatening lung disease, a lung transplant may be necessary.

I just quickly reviewed BestBooks and can immediately tell is it a plugin to be avoided.
Why? To start it created three tables: Accounts, Journal and Ledger. While creating tables is not preferred, the real problem is that it did not prefix table names with $wpdb->prefix which is a best practice in WordPress plugin development.
Secondly IMO it should have used custom post type for Journal and Ledger and it should have used a custom taxonomy for Accounts.
While the latter architecture choice is my opinion, the former issue is definitely a lack of best practices. And what concerns me is if the developer didn't know to use $wpdb->prefix, which is a well known best practice, what other best practices did they miss too, especially security related?

2. Brian Campbell body checks R.J. UmbergerThis is one of those NHL body checks that makes you glad that you never made it past bantam league. The Buffalo Sabres' Brian Campbell took advantage of an open-ice opportunity and, as the commentators remarked afterward, Philadelphia Flyers forward R.J. Umberger was "sized up and laid out."
The Flyers were pushing out of their zone, and Niko Dimitrakos had passed it to Umberger, who lightly touched it forward. Unfortunately, this put R.J. right in the headlights of one Brian Campbell, who knocked out his on-ice opponent with a blockbuster open-ice check. Umberger's head was down, and Campbell's shoulder connected with Umberger's jaw -- then Umberger went down like a stiff piece of wood. He was clearly out of it on the ice and wondering if he was in heaven or Disneyland. An excellent NHL fight ensued between the two teams.

Climb aboard a World War II German submarine. Plunge into a working coal mine. Take a tour of your digestive system. Control a 40-foot tornado. And this season, step into the magical world of Walt Disney to uncover 90 years of archives.
Those experiences and more await you at the Museum of Science and Industry — the largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere. Home to more than 35,000 artifacts and hundreds of exhibits, there are enough "wow" moments to be had here to last a lifetime.
MSI, which opened in 1933, is housed in the only remaining building from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. The museum's Beaux Arts building was originally the expo's Palace of Fine Arts and displayed works of art from around the world. Now — through interactive exhibits, daily live science experiences, unique events and tours for all ages, and 3D theater adventures in the five-story, domed Omnimax — the inventive genius in you can explore the fascinating worlds of science, technology, medicine and engineering within the museum's 14 acres of space.
Don't miss a new national touring exhibit, Robot Revolution — supported by Google — when it debuts at MSI from May 21, 2015 - June 3, 2016. Meet, play and interact with 40 incredibly innovative robots all being gathered from around the world. Five hands-on exhibit areas explore how these thinking machines will ultimately be our companions and colleagues at home and at work. You'll be amazed by their capabilities and talents: from performing surgery to playing blackjack and soccer.
The newest must-see in the museum's permanent exhibition halls is a crowd-pleaser for sure. Get lost in a colorful mirror maze as you see first hand how mathematical patterns abound in the natural world: from the lines on our skin to the ridges of mountain ranges. Numbers in Nature: A Mirror Maze is completely immersive (the centerpiece is the full size maze measuring at 1,800 square feet) and features nearly 20 activities and more than 30 artifacts to break down concepts like the Golden Ratio.
Experiment with nearly 50 fun, cutting-edge interactive displays at YOU! The Experience while exploring what it means to live a vital, healthy life in the 21st century. Use your own heartbeat to make the museum's new 13-foot Giant Heart come alive; get moving on a human-sized Hamster Wheel that provides real-time feedback on your body's responses to aerobic activity; examine real human specimens that showcase the extraordinary complexity of the body; and much more!
Science Storms, a massive, two-story exhibit, unravels the mysteries of physics and chemistry through recreations of nature's most powerful phenomena — tornados, lightning, fire, tsunamis, sunlight, avalanches and atoms in motion. Manipulate a 40-foot tornado and see the vapor whirling before you. Witness giant bolts of lightning crackling above. Trigger an avalanche using a 20-foot avalanche disk.
