patch for MIDI synth using fluidsynth library
The following patch adds General Midi software wavetable synthesys to
DosBox' MPU-401 emulation.
It links (when available) with fluidsynth, which is a software synthesizer
available at http://www.fluidsynth.org/
To use it, add entries to dosbox.conf like:
To test it, I dumped the ROM of my old ISA SoundBlaster AWE64 and
made a sound font out of it.
Any other General Midi sound font will do, like "8MBGMSFX.SF2" that is
shipped with SoundBlaster Live! cards.
It is even possible to get an approximate Roland MT-32 emulation using
an MT-32 sound font instead of a General Midi one.
Windows users already have a software wavetable synthesizer shipped
with DirectX (and using a different sound font format).
patch for MIDI synth using fluidsynth library
Logged In: YES
what is it use?
under linux there is timidity that works fine with dosbox
and people who have a soundblaster live can simply load
soundfont in their player and dosbox creates an alsa client
for the midi data.
Or am I missing something obvious ?
Logged In: YES
I prefer to use the integrated mixer of DosBox.
Why? Because I haven't managed to configure ALSA so that it accepts
simultaneous digital sound and timidity (or fluidsynth) MIDI synthesis (like "dmix")
without breaking compatibility with OSS only applications like "dosemu".
I think also that DosBox should have the ability to do MIDI and sound effects
simultaneously even on Linux with OSS (and without ALSA), which can not use a
MIDI software synthesizer backend and has no software mixing capability.
Logged In: YES
Now, if the patch supported loading of soundfonts so it would essentially behave like an AWE32/64/... card, that would make sense. DungeonKeeper used a custom soundfont, for example.
As for ALSA vs. OSS: OSS is officially deprecated, apps will have to move to ALSA anyways. It's easy to add ALSA support to an OSS-only app.

One Tree Hill is an American television drama series created by Mark Schwahn, which premiered on September 23, 2003 on The WB. After the series' third season, The WB merged with UPN to form The CW, and since September 27, 2006, the network has been the official broadcaster of the series in the United States. The show is set in the fictional town of Tree Hill in North Carolina and originally follows the lives of two half-brothers, Lucas Scott (Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan Scott (James Lafferty), who compete for positions on their school's basketball team. Their relationship evolves from heartless enemies to caring brothers as the show progresses, and the drama that ensues from the brothers' romances with female characters including Peyton Sawyer, Haley James, and Brooke Davis.

Near Record Crowds At This Year's Cheyenne Frontier Days
The "Daddy of em all" continues to be huge and this year was no exception, this year was the seconds or third largest in the history of Cheyenne Frontier Days.
The "Daddy of em all" continues to be huge and this year was no exception, this year was the seconds or third largest in the history of Cheyenne Frontier Days.
Is tired really the best way to describe how many of us feel after Cheyenne Frontier Days?
Here are the results for Sunday, July 27, 2014 final rodeo.
When you were a kid, what was your first carnival dessert? Ice cream, churros, or funnel cake perhaps?
I brought my family to the Championship Bull Riding final event at Cheyenne Frontier Days on Tuesday night...
In general, I really like Cheyenne Frontier Days and the fun, family and western heritage theme that goes along with it.
As Cheyenne Frontier Days comes to a close, some of you may be turning your attention to the close of summer. The start of the school year. The impending winter holidays.
Us? We're thinking about NEXT Frontier Days. Yep, we've got our sights on the following Daddy of 'Em All.
On Saturday night, Cheyenne Frontier Days rounded out the night shows with a final performance by Tim McGraw---but before he took the stage, they announced two big acts coming to the Daddy of 'Em All in 2015. Country crooners Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert will be two of the acts we anticipate seeing next year.
The Daddy of 'Em All took the night shows up a notch with a mix of nostalgia and cross-over country when Joan Jett and Kid Rock took the stage on Friday night.
I haven't played a carnival game since I was a kid. But even in 20 years, I can still remember the rush of trying to win, handing over cash to try again, and walking around whatever carnival grounds clutching a cheap stuffed animal in my arms.
In the month leading up to Cheyenne Frontier Days, Townsquare Media Cheyenne, Laramie and Casper held an Arctic Cat key contest---one lucky winner from each location would receive a key to a bright green Wildcat Trail XT.

Papa Coyote's last show!

Aug 17
The Skyway's 10th annual crawdad festival!
Aug 17
Papa Coyote plays the Oregon Trail, in front of the historic Cascade Ski Club in Government Camp, OR as a benefit for the Mt. Hood Historical Museum.
Aug 17
Skyway Bar and Grill 10th annual Crawdad Festival.
Sounds Like: The Meters, Little Feat, Buckwheat Zydeco, Toots & the Maytals, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad
Bio: Louisiana-flavored latin, funk, and reggae jams.
Papa Coyote plays music for beaches and bbqs, sweaty dance floors, and swishing skirts under the stars.
From Afropop to Zydeco and a little ska-cha-cha in between, you'll be moving and howlin' to the island skanking sounds of Papa Coyote.
"Multi-instrumentalist Evan Stuckless, better known to Portland dancers as Papa Coyote, uses his neon-lighted accordion as an aural cattle prod to zap people off their fannies and onto the floor... (Their) highly danceable tunes, which echo the Meters, among others, range from funk to reggae, Afropop to zydeco, and are evidence of Coyote's musical education, which includes gigging with such acts as Little Feat, Toots and the Maytals and Moe."

How Much Do Walkie Talkies Cost?
Walkie talkies are communication devices that are portable and made up of low-level radio transmitters and receivers. In the early days, the walkie talkie that was used was a black and bulgy transistor with an antenna; the user would hold his mouth very near to the speaker before he would speak. However, the design and technology of walkie talkies has drastically changed, and today, they are used for a variety of reasons. While some walkie talkies can be used as a toy for children, there are many that are used in different aspects of the work place as well.
How much is it?
- The pricing of walkie talkies is different depending on the place of purchase, the model and the ability in terms of mileage of coverage. The price of walkie talkie varies from about $20 to as much as $110. There are quite a number of these gadgets that you can get with a price less than $30, yet they cover a range of between 10 to 20 miles.
- For example, the highly rated Motorola MH230R retails for $45 to $60.
- A set of walkie talkies that are meant for children can cost from $5 to $20. These will not have a very far range and will usually be brightly colored or even feature cartoon characters.
What is going to be included?
- Walkies talkies are more or less same as telephone handset and are slightly larger though a single unit with an antenna sticking out on top. The first made walkies-talkies had tubes that ran on 4, 45-volt dry cells or even the 12V Nickel-Cadnium batteries. Due to changing technology, however, the walkie talkies today are made with personal two-way UHF radio models, smaller than a pack of cigarettes.
- Walkie talkies will always come in a set of two; you will not have to purchase them individually.
- Since the term "walkie talkie" is often referred to a child's toy, many have character designs or child colors. A walkie-talkie that is geared toward adults are referred to as a "two-way" radio.
- The average two-way radio can reach up to 35 miles.
- Channels can range anywhere from as little as 4 to as much as 22.
- A walkie talkie can either work on a rechargeable or standard battery.
- Common brands include Motorola, Midland, Cobra, Uniden and Kenwood
What are the extra costs?
- The costs of a booster may be additional costs. This booster is used to increase the range at which the walkie talkies can be used.
- For smooth operations, there are also maintenance charges for the walkies-talkies given that they also undergo wear and tear.
- If the walkie talkie requires batteries, this can be an additional cost to consider. If it runs on a rechargeable battery, it is sometimes useful to purchase an extra charger or base so that you have a spare or have one that can be taken elsewhere.
- There are some walkie talkies that can be attached to an earpiece or headset that has a wire running to a pack that is worn on the belt. There will be a button toward the top of the wire, usually around chin level, that will be both the speaker and the push button to talk. This is usually much more convenient for a more hands-free operation.
Tips to know:
- If you enjoy outdoor activities, motorcycling, working in a school, working in a college, pub or club or even looking after young ones at home, a walkie talkie would become a useful gadget for your operations. For all those whose jobs involves moving from one point to another within a three mile range, then a walkie talkie could be a necessary gadget.
- Contrary to the mobile phones, walkie talkies are license free and do not have any other related charges. With a child's walkie talkie, there is code key which allows the operator to transmit similar tones or Morse code to another walkies-talkie that operates on the same frequency.
- More than two people are capable of talking on the same frequency. However, only one user can talk at a time.
How can I save money?
- Because walkie talkies are fairly cheap considering the use you will get out of them, purchasing a high quality set will probably be the best idea even if it is more expensive up front.
- The use of these gadgets already help save you money. The push button available on the gadgets helps saves this time as it minimizes calling and waiting for an answer that is not provided. In situations where you have several people in the field and there is need to communicate to all of them, it becomes cheaper to communicate given that the walkie talkie help cover a large crowd and at the same time saves countless hours through their use of long range walkie talkies.
- Investing in a booster for the walkie talkie is usually a lot cheaper than paying numerous cell phone bills.
- Consider purchasing second hand models on eBay or Craiglist.
Average Reported Cost: $0

Less Expensive $1 $1.5K $3K $5K $6.5K More Expensive $8k

Sweden, Once the World's Conscience, Now Drifts
Published: August 10, 1998
(Page 2 of 2)
The passing car is most likely a Volvo, the Swedish make that famously sold itself not on sex appeal but on safety. Downtown offices reflect the sleek Swedish Modern style, whichrevolutionized design in the 1960's. Swedish Modern was clean, unadorned and functional.
Similarly, Swedes expect strict probity in public life. Mona Sahlin, the front-runner to become Prime Minister after Ingvar Carlsson resigned in 1995, had to leave politics after it emerged that she had used her state-provided credit card to pay for personal snacks and auto rentals. She had made reimbursements, but they were deemed too tardy.
The end of the cold war has dramatically altered the rationale for Sweden's traditional nonaligned posture. Once, the Baltic Sea was a strategic wall between Sweden and the Soviet republics of Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Now, one of the the first signs off the highway in from Stockholm's Arlanda International Airport points to the ferry for Tallinn, the Estonian capital. Sweden has found itself pressed to drop the neutrality it adopted in both world wars and join an expanding NATO. While determined to resist that, it has taken part in the Bosnia peacekeeping run by NATO.
In a 1994 referendum, Swedes narrowly decided to join the European Union, but the public has blamed many problems since then on Brussels. Polls suggest that a vote today would go against European Union membership. Sensing this mood, the Government of Prime Minister Goran Persson has ruled out even holding a vote on whether to join the European single currency being introduced next year.
Once a nation that spoke out on conditions around the world, Sweden has become self-absorbed. Once, it gave the world Dag Hammarskjold, Secretary General of the United Nations from 1953 to 1961, and Olof Palme, a pioneering Social Democrat Prime Minister gunned down by a still unknown assassin in 1986. Their fame on the foreign stage was an asset at home.
Now, Carl Bildt, the former Prime Minister who spent two years as chief foreign peace envoy to Bosnia, has returned home to find his opposition Moderate Party losing popularity, and predicted to poll little more than the 22 percent it recorded in the 1994 elections that brought the present Government to power.
Mr. Bildt argued that the two major parties were on the same train but that his was on the front looking forward and Mr. Persson's was on the back staring at the past. Voters still seem to favor the latter stance.
Any attempt at restructuring faces formidable cultural resistance. The work force is 80 percent unionized, and 31 percent of the jobs are in the public sector. Pressure for change is coming from frustrated entrepreneurs and young people.
''Businesses can't grow here because it's too expensive to hire people,'' said Mr. Lindgren of Kairos Future.
''Young people are starting to think globally,'' he said. ''They're comparing themselves with the people around the world that they meet on backpacking trips, or on the Internet or where they've studied abroad or at a job for a multinational. Some of them are moving away, and they are the people that Sweden needs most.''

Thats a great price on a solid AR. Nice find!

and came home with a new AR.
CMMG was at the gun show in St. Charles MO this last weekend.
Had a base AR-15 carbine (223/5.56 1:7 twist) for $650.
Most economical price I have seen since I started looking a year ago.
Basic specs of the package:
* Mil-spec certified 4150 chrome-moly vanadium steel M4 contour barrel
* 5.56x45 NATO chamber
* 1/7 twist
* Hard chrome lined chamber and bore
* M4 feed ramps
* 11 degree recessed target crown
* F marked forged front sight base
* Parkerized Barrel including under the front sight base
* A2 Flash hider installed with Peel washer
* M4 Single heat shield Hanguard
* Forged M4 upper receivers are T marked and have extended feed ramp cuts (M4 ramps).
* Semi Auto bolt carrier
* Forged lower receivers are RDIAS/RLL compatible.
* Mil-spec fire control group with .154 diameter Pins
* Mil-spec .154 diameter hammer and trigger Pins
* Mil-spec .250 diameter take-down pins
* Mil-spec 6 position ribbed reinforced stock
I took it apart (like most guys do) when I got it home to clean and lube it up.
Taking a vacation day tomorrow and going to the range

Thats a great price on a solid AR. Nice find!
When I leave the home port:
S&W 642 Airweight, Ruger SP 101, Colt Detective Spec., CZ RAMI, Kahr PM9, Kahr CW40, S&W Model 10-7, Glock 30, 19, and 26, Browning Hi Power, CZ82, Colt Commander, Dan Wesson PM7, Ruger LCP
Wish I could find a deal like that around here...
Colt New Agent, Dan Wesson V-Bob, Glock 19,20SF, 23, 26, 27, 29, 30SF, 36, Kahr P380 w/CT, PM9, PM45, CW9(SOLD), Kel-Tec P32, P3AT, PF9(SOLD), Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry II, Stainless Pro TLE/RL II (SOLD), Rohrbaugh R9s, Ruger LCP w/CT, LCR, SP101 S&W J-Frame 638 w/CT, M&P 340 w/CT, Walther PPK/S
A new AR for $650.00...who's the manufacturer?
May we never forget those in uniform who protect us night and day in lands far away. And those in all wars who paid the supreme sacrifice in defense of our country. May God Bless our Troops and First Responders.
I would call that a good deal.....
and that would be a massive understatement.
"Proud To Have Been Banned by Huff PO"
Good find!!
What are ya planning on putting on it?
Recently got my first AR and am starting to catch the bug, haha. Just received a Geisele SSA trigger and haven't had a chance to take it to the range yet but with just sine dry firing it's going to be a HUGE improvemet over the stock mil trigger.
Put up a range report after you go!
guns rule
OK, took a vacation day today and went to the range.
Blew through 200 rounds of 55 grain Remington 223's without any problems.
All the shots hit within 8" of the bullseye at 125 ft.
An older gentleman shooting next to me handed me a full clip (30 rnds) of 5.56 and they all shot great, too.
(It's great making new friends at the range!).
I am very pleased with the purchase.
Since I can't see squat anymore (probably typical of 50+ year olds), the iron sites have to go and the first thing I plan on getting is a scope.
Any ideas on the scope I should acquire?
My budget would be a maximum of $300-$400.

That is a good price!. . . I ordered a Doublestar Star 15 M4 16" 6 Pos. Stock .223 from Bud's Gun Shop today for $669 delivered. It's a full mil-spec AR and the owner reviews I have found across the web have been very positive. I will report back it in a few weeks, after I get it in my hands and get a chance run a 100 or more rounds through it. I've shot and handled many "AR" style rifles before, but this is my first purchase.

This is something I just found out and it is very peculiar. There is no problem whatsoever in FireFox.
I don't know the results in IE6, but what I found out is the following.
When I'm logged into my blog, the front page (standard 10 latest post) is visible in IE7. When I'm not logged in it doesn't show any content at all.
I have another site also running with WP 2.1.2 and there the problem does not exist. The only change known to me is the theme. On the other site, I use a translated version of the Kubrik theme.
Has anyone experienced the same problem on their blog already? Any tips would be very welcome.

Okla. House OKs abortion reporting bill
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The Oklahoma House has passed a bill that would require women seeking an abortion to complete a lengthy questionnaire that includes questions about their race and relationships.
With little discussion and no debate, the House voted 88-8 Monday for the Statistical Reporting on Abortion Act. It now heads to the Senate.
The bill requires women to fill out a lengthy survey that asks, among other things, about their race, education and reason for seeking an abortion. The Health Department ultimately would compile the information into a statistical report and post it on its website.
Abortion-rights groups say the questionnaire is an intrusion into a woman's privacy, but supporters say the information will help guide policy makers to prevent abortions.

The Wisconsin State Fair has locked in Lady Antebellum for Aug. 9, the fair's first main stage headliner to be announced for 2014.
The country-pop act has come a long way since an early morning gig at the Mayfield Mobil gas station in Richfield. Winning record and song of the year Grammys in 2011 for its smash breakthrough single "Need You Now," on top of many other awards in the past few years, the trio of Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood saw its last three albums at the top of the Billboard charts, with 13 million digital singles to date sold in the U.S., according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Included in that tally is the playful hit "Downtown," the lead single off the band's latest studio album, "Golden," released last May. An opening act has yet to be announced. »Read Full Article

Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Inventors Need to Grapple with Developing...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Investigators say that they have narrowed down 50 genes that play a role in identifying the four subtypes of breast cancer. By measuring the expression level of these genes in the tumors, they were also able to determine how each individual will respond to chemotherapy.
Besides these four tumor types—luminal A, luminal B, HER2-enriched, and basal-like—a fifth breast cancer type known as normal-like has also been identified. According to the current research, the team says that the normal-like classification is really an indicator that a sample contains insufficient tumor cells to make a molecular diagnosis and that a new sample needs to be taken.
The scientists analyzed the gene activity of more than 1,000 breast tumors to identify and validate the genetic signature of each of the four types of breast cancer. Although the cancer types are distinguished by thousands of genetic differences, the researchers were able to pinpoint 50 genes that could identify each type.
The researchers also compared the activity of the 50-gene set to how well 133 breast cancer patients responded to standard chemotherapy. They found that their genetic test was highly sensitive and very predictive for chemotherapy response. The test was more predictive than typically used clinical molecular markers such as estrogen receptor status, progesterone receptor status, or HER2 gene expression status.
Luminal A was not sensitive to the chemotherapy, suggesting that patients with this good-prognosis type can forgo chemotherapy in favor of hormone-based therapy. Among poor-prognosis tumor types, basal-like breast cancer was the most sensitive to the chemotherapy and luminal B the least.
The group is currently designing prospective clinical trials using the test, which they call the Breast Bioclassifier. The researchers will investigate how each tumor type responds to the more than 20 drugs available to treat breast cancer.
The genomic test technology is patented and will be distributed through University Genomics, a company co-owned by Washington University, the University of Utah, and the University of North Carolina. University Genomics is working with Associated Regional and University Pathologists, a reference laboratory at the University of Utah, to provide a site where the 50-gene test will be available by this summer.
The study appeared February 9 in the advance online publication of the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Fashion Week Is Approaching: Here Are The Rules
Starting September 6, Fashion Week will bring an explosion of couture and hauteur to Lincoln Center and other venues, and it's best that you know what to do about it or you could get sucked into a giant Dust Buster and shot into the trash with all the other discarded sequins.
Here are the rules:
*Don't feel as if you have to go to every single show.
This isn't a charity for you. It's a business. You have to parcel out your appearances with economy and foresight. And you don't want to end the week looking as pasty and wasted as some of the high-paying models.
Upcoming Events
(Wait, maybe you do.)
Don't complain about your seat.
At least you got a seat.
There are plenty of people in China who have no fashion show seats at all!
*Don't whoop whenever your favorite model traipses down the runway.
People will start to wonder if you have Tourette's, or worse, if you're friendly with models.
*Spend as much time as possible in the lobby of the Lincoln Center tent.
That's the waiting area where you can schmooze, mingle, get photographed, grab free gifties, and even occasionally have fun.
*Never repeat an outfit.
Especially if you're crashing.
It will make you look like a crasher who repeats outfits.
*Drop made-up names.
"I just came from Ana Lycenzwcs's show. Divine!" "Have you seen Rodrigo? He owes me an assignment." "Pavla LeChampagne invited me to the most amazing after-party!"
Everyone will be so dazzled they will assume these are famous people--and in fact people at all.
*Make a point of occasionally pretending to glide your fingers down your keypad with a look of intent concern.
That will give everyone the idea that you're frantically blogging or live tweeting the shows.
And that will help you get invited back.

The objective of the amendments is to enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities.
The amendments will require entities to provide disclosures that enable investors to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes.
The amendments to IAS 7 respond to investors' requests for information that helps them better understand changes in an entity's debt, which is important to their analysis of financial statements. These amendments are mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017.

WASHINGTON -- He hasn't gone on a shop-hop to JC Penney. Yet.
President George W. Bush tries so hard not to be a chip off the old block. His father's answer to the country's agitation over losing middle-class comfort to recession was to stop and pick up sweat socks, thereby demonstrating the virtue of consumer spending to consumers who were too strapped to spend. Message: I don't get it.
The son won't be caught at the underwear counter. The medium has changed. The message hasn't. He doesn't get it either.
This is the message engraved in the Rosetta stone of the current Bush administration's economic policy: The Economic Report of the President, released to generally poor reviews.
To start with, there is the matter of the missing jobs. With the economy having lost more than 2.4 million jobs since the now-ended recession officially began in March 2001, the president predicted that 2.6 million would be created this (election) year alone. The estimate is so irrationally exuberant that the White House disavowed it days after releasing it.
And about that recession. The White House often explains a shaken economy by three factors mostly beyond Bush's control: The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the fallout from corporate scandals, and the need to wage war. One problem: The president's own economic report claims the recession began in the fall of 2000 -- on Bill Clinton's watch. If that's true, then the doldrums couldn't have been brought on by terrorists that hadn't yet struck, scandals that hadn't burst and wars that hadn't begun.
However, there need be no public outrage about outsourcing, the president's chief economist says. The shipping of American jobs overseas is just a "new way of doing international trade." And if yours is the job that's bound for Bangladesh? The White House promises training, but doesn't plan to fund it.
If you can't get a good job or training, then perhaps there's something at the local McFactory. These are the fast-food outlets the White House says may really be generating those missing manufacturing jobs -- they just aren't counted as factory jobs because the definition of manufacturing is too murky. After all, a mere frozen patty is transformed on the fast-food line into an edible delight. It's just like molding steel into fenders, but without the overtime, the health insurance and the pension.
Did someone mention retirement? The president espouses dramatic benefit cuts for future Social Security recipients, but Bush doesn't call them that. His economic report suggests that the old-age benefit could be pegged to inflation, which grows more slowly than wages, and not to wage growth -- the traditional yardstick. So, if you work hard to move up from burger-flipper to franchise manager, your benefit wouldn't necessarily reflect it. And if the economy suddenly started producing a bumper crop of even higher-paying jobs, the government pension system would ignore this, too. But you could put some payroll taxes into a private account, and try to self-finance a retirement income that makes up for the cuts.
As for health care, it would be much more efficient, the president says, if insurers just tailored policies to "different types of consumers" and have them "priced accordingly." That is, the industry could offer one policy at a certain price to a family with a cancer-stricken child. And another to triathletes.
So if you're worried about jobs, they're just around the corner -- or the next corner or the next. Health care? Trust the insurance industry to heal it. Retirement? There's nothing wrong with Social Security that a few benefit cuts can't fix.
This is more shocking than buying socks as a substitute for economic leadership. But our current Bush doesn't lay out his agenda for the cameras.
He'd much rather talk about gay people. And really, who can blame him?

Creating ISO images with dd and mkisofs
Whether you are creating backups, rescuing data, or burning bootable CDs, dd and mkisofs help you handle the job in style.
The command line has many applications for burning data CDs or DVDs. But before you can actually burn a disk, you first need to create a so-called ISO image. ISO (or ISO 9660, to use the full name) is the standard filesystem for managing files on CDs.
mkisofs and dd are command line tools that help you create ISO images. The mkisofs utility supports the Rockridge and Joliet extensions (see the sidebar titled "Rockridge and Joliet"). You can even use mkisofs to automatically back up your data, excluding individual files if necessary. dd is an alternative tool that might be your last chance for rescuing data on a dying hard disk.

The Queen resumed her nationwide Golden Jubilee tour yesterday with a visit to the village with the longest place name in Britain.
Accompanied by Prince Philip she arrived in Llanfair PG, as the north Wales village is more commonly known, aboard the royal train.
It is believed to be the first time in 35 years that the train has been pulled by a steam locomotive - the recently restored Princess Royal Coronation class Duchess of Sutherland.
The Queen emerged to cheers from the 1,000-strong crowd as bright sunshine broke through the clouds over Anglesey.
At one point she walked past a sign with the full name of the village spelled out as Llanfair- pwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio- gogogoch.
Wearing a lemon dress suit, she stopped to greet local dignitaries and schoolchildren before leaving to tour the Anglesey craft exhibition at nearby Beaumaris Castle .
The highlight of the first day of the Queen's three-day trip to Wales was a national thanksgiving service at Bangor Cathedral. Welsh politicians, including Rhodri Morgan, First Minister of the Welsh Assembly, and representatives of various religions and voluntary groups were invited to the bilingual service.
The Queen then went to Colwyn Bay to watch a youth sport festival and travelled on to Llandudno Junction railway station where she rejoined the royal train.
Later in the tour she is due to address the Welsh Assembly and visit Newport, awarded city status to mark the Jubilee.

Top oil-spill response officials meet in Houma
Published: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 at 4:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 at 4:13 p.m.
HOUMA -- Coast Guard Rear Adm. Mary Landry, Gov. Bobby Jindal, top BP executives and other emergency responders met in Houma this morning to discuss ongoing response efforts to a spreading oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Landry said in a news conference this afternoon.
BP is using the training center on La. 311 as its headquarters to respond to the spill. The $24-million facility, which opened in 2009, was also designed to handle emergency events, officials have told the Courier and Comet in the past.
Also in attendance were BP CEO Tony Hayward, Doug Suttles, chief operating officer for exploration and production for BP, and Lars Herbst, Gulf of Mexico regional director for the U.S. Minerals Management Service.
Landry said officials discussed the tactics being undertaken by BP personnel as they run plan to clean up and minimize the damage from the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon last week. Those efforts include 1,100 people on and offshore, including BP employees, contractors and federal and state environmental agencies, as well as 50 vessels and five planes.
The methods included a controlled burn of the escaped oil slated for this afternoon.
That's "just one tool in a tookit that may be employed as part of a coordinated response, combining tactics above the water and below the water," Landry said.
According to 1990's Oil Pollution Act, the company responsible must pay for the cleanup.
In the wake of the incident, the Houma-Terrebonne Airport has seen much-higher traffic than normal, says airport director David Slayter. That's included private jet traffic ferrying officials in and out, and planes from BP-contracted PHI coming and going.
Representatives from companies deferred their comments to the response center formed to monitor the disaster.

text: Sarepta Therapeutics My final idea that could be ready to trigger a major breakout trade is biotechnology and drugs player Sarepta Therapeutics ( SRPT), which is focused on the discovery and development of RNA-based therapeutics for the treatment of both rare and infectious diseases. If you look at the chart for Sarepta Therapeutics, you'll notice that this stock has experienced two sharp spikes higher this week off of some near-term support at $9 a share with strong upside volume. Volume for those spikes was 3.9 million and 1.6 million shares, which is well above its three-month average volume of 821,273 shares. Following those spikes, shares of SRPT have so far been holding its gains, which is bullish technical action. This price trend is quickly pushing SRPT within range of triggering a major near-term breakout trade. Traders should now look for long-biased traders in SRPT once it manages to clear some near-term overhead resistance at $10.78 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above $10.78 with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 821,273 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then SRPT will have a great chance of hitting $12 to $13 a share in the near-term, or possibly even higher. One could look to get long SRPT off weakness, and simply use a stop right around that key near-term support level at $9 a share. A better bet might be to get long once SRPT sustains a move or close above $10.78 with high volume, and simply use a stop right below $10 a share. Either way, I would avoid long trades below $9, and stalk this for a breakout over $10.78 a share.

SDCC: "Gotham" Cast, Producers Tease Court of Owls, Cult of the Joker in S3
Comic Books, TV
Welcome to the four hundred and forty-eighth in a series of examinations of comic book legends and whether they are true or false. Click here for an archive of the previous four hundred and forty-seven. This week, was the hit film Man of Steel the result of a legal obligation on DC's part? Plus, in honor of Fred Van Lente Day, two legends suggested by Fred himself! Was Marvel responsible for Conan being known as Conan the Barbarian? Did Barry Windsor-Smith re-use his Archer and Armstrong characters in his Storyteller series?
Let's begin!
NOTE: The column is on three pages, a page for each legend. There's a little "next" button on the top of the page and the bottom of the page to take you to the next page (and you can navigate between each page by just clicking on the little 1, 2 and 3 on the top and the bottom, as well).
COMIC LEGEND: DC had to make Man of Steel to fulfill a legal obligation.
STATUS: Basically True
Reader Luis A. wrote in about this one a while back.
You see, one of the interesting side effects to the various court cases that DC has had with the estate of Jerry Siegel is that when it comes to the Siegel's rights to the Superman character, there was an additional argument that went beyond the argument that the Siegels were part owners of the character. This additional argument was over HOW much money DC owed them due to their disputed part-ownership of the character.
One of these major areas of debate was over how much money DC was getting paid from their parent company, Warner Brothers, to adapt Superman comics into films. The Siegel estate argued that DC was effectively selling the character at below cost to Warner Brothers and that the Siegels should be able to go after Warner Brothers directly for more money. The courts ultimately ruled that the Warner Brothers/DC Comics arrangement was a fair market deal and that the Siegels could not go after Warner Brothers.
However, one area where the courts did more or less side with the Siegels was over the concept of whether DC Comics was optimizing the Superman property. The charge by the Siegels was that DC owed them a right to make as much money off of the character as they possibly could, and that DC was screwing things up by not making Superman movies (just one movie was made since the late 1980s).
The court basically sided with the Siegels on this issue and ruled that if DC did not begin work on a Superman movie by 2011, then the Siegels would be able to sue over misuse of the character and be theoretically eligible to get some money from DC Comics for not making the best use of the character.
All they "won" was the right to sue if that did not happen, but DC, of course, did not want to let it even go that far, so they were under a particular time crunch to get a movie into production by that deadline (they wanted to make a new Superman movie ANYways, of course, but they specifically HAD to get one into production to avoid the lawsuit), and that was a major factor in the exact timeline on what eventually turned into the 2013 blockbuster The Man of Steel…
Here's a Variety article on the 2009 ruling.
Of course, earlier this year, a Court of Appeals ruled that the Siegels didn't actually own any rights to Superman anymore (ruling that the Siegels had sold their rights in 2001 to DC for a large financial settlement), which makes the whole thing a non-issue going forward.
Thanks to Luis for the suggestion!

Was Mumbly Invented to Replace Muttley in the Laff-A-lympics?
Was E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Originally Going to be a Horror Film?
Was the Song "The Cover of Rolling Stone" Re-Titled by the BBC?
On the next page, the first Fred Van Lente suggestion – was Conan not a Barbarian before his Marvel series?
Interestingly, Brian, after I suggested this to you, I was proofing the final issue of Ariel Olivetti and my adaptation of Robert E. Howard's "People of the Black Circle" and completely forgot about this line of dialogue from Howard's original; Conan says: "Listen: I was born in the Cimmerian hills where the people are all barbarians."
So though the character describes himself as such, it was the Marvel comic that popularized it as his "title."
Right, Fred, that was exactly what I had in mind when I noted that Howard came pretty close to saying it without ever actually using the phrase "Conan the Barbarian."
very cool legends today! Is there anything Valiant writers don't know or can't do? lol
I voted for BWS Archer & Armstrong on the best runs ever list.
So how exactly would Archer and Armstrong be more marketable? I don't know either series.
I knew "Conan the Barbarian" wasn't Howard's term, but I never really connected the origin with the Marvel book, interesting.
Howard himself, of course, repackaged an unsold King Kull story to create Conan, which I imagine you cover in your book.
Read through the Monster pages at the link. More interesting, from the look of it, than the Mantlo story we did get.
Probably the biggest advantage Archer and Armstrong has is that it is set in present day. But in general, Archer and Armstrong is a bit toned down in approach and humor.
interesting to learn that stan lee himself did not want marvel going after conan. and that is where he also got the barbarian part. plus that superman returns got made so dc would not have to pay the estates any money in their quest to make sure they don't share any of the profits with who they should be doing.
Unclean… unnnncllleeeaaaan….
one thing that hasn't worked out? The horrible recoloring of BWS art in reprints
BWS is a great storyteller and he lays out his pages magnificently but I've always disliked the way he draws faces.
Did you ever cover the unauthorized Mexican Conan comic books La Reina de la Costa Negra? It shared a magazine with a similar ex officio adaptation of the Spider.
Thank you Brian Cronin..
Am I the only one who thought "Man of Steel" referred to the comic miniseries?
Excellent articles, Brian. Now this MoS is more than meets the eye.
Thank you, Aaron! I had totally forgotten that there was a nasty little movie called "Man of Steel" and I assumed that Brian was talking about the comic. It was only when I got to the end of the piece that I got confused and I realized, "Oh, he must have been referring to that movie that came out last summer! Come to think of it, that was also called 'Man of Steel'!"
"so as a result, Marvel could not afford either of the two artists who most wanted to draw the Conan comic, John Buscema (their biggest artist at the time) and Gil Kane (not far from Buscema in stardom)."
Funny. You'd think that, if either Buscema or Kane had wanted to draw the comic badly enough, they would've accepted a lower page rate for a certain number of issues with a gradual increase to their normal rates if the series proved successful.
In the case of both guys, though, they weren't working at Marvel because they liked working at Marvel, ya know? They worked there because Marvel paid them the most money. So I don't think either guy was interested in risking any money on a work-for-hire gig (Kane obviously was willing to risk money on his own work, but not for work-for-hire stuff. It's not like they would have gotten any royalties out of the book if it was a success. Their best case scenario was the same page rate that they were getting for drawing their regular books). Plus, if the book was successful, they knew that they would get a chance to work on it later on without giving up any money, which both guys did (although just one short story for Kane).
In an era where artists had to draw two books a month just to make a living, I highly doubt either Buscema or Kane would give up a better paying job for Conan.
Why do you keep doing this CBR. Every time you bring up MAN OF STEEL you know fanboys well go nuts in a negative way. WAIT for page views and comments? You've won this time CBR.
But no one went nuts in a negative way here, did they?
I always felt BWS' style would have been better suited to doing adaptations of the work of Jack Vance or Lord Dunsany, had such existed in comics. I like his artwork but I never felt it was the Conan of the originals. Both Buscema and Kane, and now Giorello are closer IMO. I think not only would Buscema have not drawn Conan for less, but Marvel wouldn't have allowed him to. I think Conan would have been a success earlier if he had, and his time on the book even more highly valued.
the first was published Conan in comic books was in a mexican edition in 1950. http://www.lacovacha.net/2013/11/clasicos-conan.html
In a way, in my opinion it worked out for the best regarding Buscema (in the case of Kane, I would have loved to see a lot mor of his Conan!) If hehad started working on Conan The Barbarian right off the bat, he probably would have been assigned a regular Marvel inker and his work would have looke like other stuff he was doing around that time. The fact that he was later put in the B&W Conan magazines, with iconoclastic inkers such as Alfredo Alcalá, resulted in pretty unique and fantastic work for Buscema. Plus, BWS had the chance to hone up his skilss, and by the end was producing work as amazong as his adaptation of Red Nails! Everybady wins! (Well, except Gil Kane)
In the case of Kane, I doubt he could have accepted a lower page rate if he wanted to. I'm not sure of the actual timeframe; but, I read once in an interview that part of the reason he churned out so many covers for Marvel in the early 70s was because of his divorce and that he needed to generate income. He was cranking stuff out then. Like I say, I don't know if that was during the launch of Conan or after. Kane also said he had lobbied for Marvel to make a pitch for Conan before Roy Thomas secured the rights (this was a Comics Journal interview, early 90s).
I got to meet Kane once, at a Heroes Con, in Charlotte, NC. Nice guy. I got him to sign a cover that he did for THUNDER Agents. He said he hadn't seen one in years, which made it even cooler. Unfortunately, it wasn't one where he had done an interior story (he checked), though I had those issues at home (I found the particular issue at the con). I really wish I could have talked to him longer, but them's the breaks.
Archer and Armstrong; for my money, the best book Valiant published. At first, I was a little blasé about it; but it kept getting better and better with each issue. I think my favorite is the riff where Armstrong and his two brothers are Alexandre Dumas' Three Musketeers and Archer is D'Artagnan. That was fun!
Everybady wins! (Well, except Gil Kane)
Sort of sounds like Gil Kane's whole career in a nutshell right there. Of all the top comic book superstar artists, he probably had the worst lot of them all from a financial standpoint.
The thing that impresses me most about Buscema's Conan work was that he would take Howard's often bland descriptions of monsters (for some reason, REH loved to label his demonic horrors "toadlike") and come up with something genuinely monstrous.
Brian… you mentioned Man of Steel… I am going SO nuts, right now. I am not likely to be contained. I mean it. NUTS. Nuts like you've never seen. I'm going it. Now. I'm clicking refresh like a madman, to give you more page views. And you KNOW I can comment. I'm doing it. Stand back. Nuts.
hmmmm…tied to the first one is the question of how many of the changes to Superman (his Man of Steel suit, origin changes, his whole New 52…everything, really) is tied into not making it too much like what the S&S estates might have had rights to in creating Superman. There was a lot of talk they were making the changes in case the lawsuit went South. I think Superboy was involved too. Did DC change Superman and his history to make sure they had rights to some portion of the character?

Sentinel's Silhouette by iphelpsWatch
©2011-2016 iphelps
Mt. Baker is an active stratovolcano located in the North Cascades and is the third highest peak in Washington. On clear days, Mt. Baker is visible from as far away as Tacoma, over 100 miles to the south. While the last large eruption took place over 6,000 years ago, this massive volcano continues to dominate the landscape of the North Cascades. Here, from San Juan Island, Mt. Baker's silhouette is a humbling reminder of the larger forces that have shaped and continue to shape our planet.
