The New York Review of Books turns 50
In February 1963, a new publication took advantage of the New York City printers strike and launched with a daring editorial: It does not, however, seek merely to fill the gap created by the printers' strike in New York City but to take the opportunity which the strike has presented to publish the sort of literary journal which the editors and contributors feel is needed in America. The New York Review of Books is now 50. [more inside]
Andrew Wylie on publishing
"Not very many people read. Most of them drag their knuckles around and quarrel and make money. We're selling books. It's a tiny little business. It doesn't have to be Walmartized." Superagent Andrew Wylie, who represents Martin Amis, Salman Rushdie, Elmore Leonard, and Philip Roth, among others, talks about the future of publishing, his on-again-off-again relationship with Amazon, and "effete, educated snobs who read," with the New Republic.

"Publishing is tremendously susceptible to the availability heuristic"
What Is the Business of Literature?
Publishing is a word that, like the book, is almost but not quite a proxy for the "business of literature." Current accounts of publishing have the industry about as imperiled as the book, and the presumption is that if we lose publishing, we lose good books. Yet what we have right now is a system that produces great literature in spite of itself. We have come to believe that the taste-making, genius-discerning editorial activity attached to the selection, packaging, printing, and distribution of books to retailers is central to the value of literature. We believe it protects us from the shameful indulgence of too many books by insisting on a rigorous, abstemious diet. Critiques of publishing often focus on its corporate or capitalist nature, arguing that the profit motive retards decisions that would otherwise be based on pure literary merit. But capitalism per se and the market forces that both animate and pre-suppose it aren't the problem. They are, in fact, what brought literature and the author into being.[more inside]

Oddest book titles of the year
Norwegian Wood
"Solid Wood: All About Chopping, Drying and Stacking Wood — and the Soul of Wood-Burning" This best selling book by Lars Mytting highlights a passion for firewood and inspired a TV program in Norway about cutting, stacking and burning firewood. The TV program, on the topic of firewood, consisted mostly of people in parkas chatting and chopping in the woods and then eight hours of a fire burning in a fireplace. Yet no sooner had it begun, on prime time on Friday night, than the angry responses came pouring in. "We received about 60 text messages from people complaining about the stacking in the program," said [Mr.] Mytting .... "Fifty percent complained that the bark was facing up, and the rest complained that the bark was facing down."
"His writing is not about something; it is that something itself."

The shocking news that Goldman Sachs is greedy
"Twenty five years ago I quit a job on Wall Street to write a book about Wall Street. Since then, every year or so, UPS has delivered to me a book more or less like my own, written by some Wall Street insider and promising to blow the lid off the place, and reveal its inner workings, and so on. By now, you might think, this game should be over. The reading public would know all it needed to know about Wall Street, and the publishing industry would be forced to look to some other industry for shocking confessions from insiders. Somehow this isn't the case."

Hari Krugman
"There are certain novels that can shape a teenage boy's life. For some, it's Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged; for others it's Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. As a widely quoted internet meme says, the unrealistic fantasy world portrayed in one of those books can warp a young man's character forever; the other book is about orcs. But for me, of course, it was neither. My Book – the one that has stayed with me for four-and-a-half decades – is Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy, written when Asimov was barely out of his teens himself. I didn't grow up wanting to be a square-jawed individualist or join a heroic quest; I grew up wanting to be Hari Seldon, using my understanding of the mathematics of human behaviour to save civilisation."

Libraries, Google, and the Transformation of Fair Use
The Hathi Trust, a partnership between 66 universities and 3 higher education consortia, is breathing a little easier now that Judge Harold Baer, Jr. of New York's Southern District has found that the Trust was within its fair use rights to allow Google to scan member library holdings, and then making the resulting files available for the reading impaired, and for use in search indexing and data mining. While this is excellent news for the educational institutions involved, it doesn't completely exonerate Google's role in the scanning project. It's notable that just last week Google abandoned it's own fair use claim in settling a different case involving the same book scanning project. Of the four factors used when considering fair use cases, Judge Baer ruled on the side of the Hathi Trust on all four.

RIA Novosti, Alexei Nikolsky, Presidential Press Service, Associated Press
MOSCOW — Accusing the West of encouraging an "unconstitutional coup" in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that Moscow reserves the right to use its military to protect Russians there but hopes it doesn't have to. The Russian leader's first comments on Ukraine since its fugitive president fled came as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Kiev to meet with Ukraine's new government.
Putin declared that Western actions were driving Ukraine into anarchy and warned that any sanctions the West might place on Russia for its actions there will backfire.
"We aren't going to fight the Ukrainian people," Putin said, adding that Russian military maneuvers involving 150,000 troops near Ukraine's border had been planned and were unrelated to the current situation in Ukraine. He ordered the troops back to their bases Tuesday.
The U.S., meanwhile, announced a $1 billion aid package in energy subsidies to Ukraine, which faces a looming financial disaster. NATO members met in Brussels and said the alliance would hold talks Wednesday with Russian officials about Ukraine. World markets rose, buoyed by Putin's apparent efforts to de-escalate tensions.
"We are going to do our best (to help you). We are going to try very hard," Kerry said in Kiev. "We hope Russia will respect the election that you are going to have."
Tensions remained high in Crimea, with troops loyal to Moscow firing warning shots to ward off protesting Ukrainian soldiers. Heavily armed Russian forces have taken over the strategic peninsula, surrounding its ferry, military bases and border posts. Two Ukrainian warships remained anchored in the Crimean port of Sevastopol, blocked from leaving by Russian ships.
The new Ukrainian leadership in Kiev, which Putin does not recognize, has accused Moscow of a military invasion in Crimea, which Putin denies.
"Those unknown people without insignia who have seized administrative buildings and airports ... what we are seeing is a kind of velvet invasion," Russian military analyst Alexander Golts told The Associated Press in Moscow.
Yet world markets recovered from their fright over Ukraine, clawing back a large chunk of Monday's stock losses, while oil, gold, wheat and the Japanese yen gave back some gains. In New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 200 points Tuesday on the news that Putin had pulled troops away from Ukraine's border.
"Confidence in equity markets has been restored as the standoff between Ukraine and Russia is no longer on red alert," said David Madden, market analyst at IG.
Speaking from his residence outside Moscow, Putin said he still considers Viktor Yanukovych to be Ukraine's president and hopes that Russia won't need to use force in predominantly Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine.
Putin also insisted that the Russian military deployment in Crimea has remained within the limits set by a bilateral agreement on a Russian military base there. He said Russia had no intention of annexing Crimea, but insisted its residents have the right to determine the region's status in a referendum later this month.
Putin accused the West of using Yanukovych's decision in November to ditch a pact with the EU in favor of closer ties with Russia to encourage the months of protests that drove him from power and put Ukraine's future in turmoil.
"We have told them a thousand times 'Why are you splitting the country?'" he said.
Yet he acknowledged that Yanukovych has no political future and said Russia gave him shelter only to save his life. Ukraine's new government wants to put the fugitive leader on trial for the deaths of over 80 people during protests in Kiev.
At the House of Commons in London, British Foreign Minister William Hague rejected Putin's arguments.

Anyone know the proper way to authenticate and publish directly to a calendar without relying on a currently logged in user? Several weeks ago I built a calendar that used the standard Oauth 2.0 protocol but this relied sessions stored by a user's we browser. I have one calendar that I want to pass events to from an application I am writing with a basic PHP framework. I'm more concerned with what are the best practices that others are using. Your answer could be simply, don't do it. Thanks alot.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Use OAuth 2 and the Authorization Code flow (web server flow), with offline enabled. Store the refresh tokens (which last indefinitely until the user has revoked), and you'll be able to upload events to Google Calendar even when the user isn't currently logged in.
More info: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer#offline
try Zend_Gdata_Calendar with this library you are able to insert or get events from any user(with the right username and password obviously) from google calendar and integrate with your own calendar or display it..here a short example:
with this you can add, update, edit or delete events from calendar form any user with mail and password...

To show that $\displaystyle\left | \frac{a-b}{1-\bar{a}b} \right |<1$, it's equivalent to show that $$\tag{1}|1-\overline{a}b|^2-|a-b|^2>0.$$ To show $(1)$, you need to use the fact that $|a|<1$ and $|b|<1$.

Transylvanian varieties of Romanian
The Transylvanian varieties of Romanian (subdialectele / graiurile transilvănene) are a group of dialects of the Romanian language (Daco-Romanian). These varieties cover the historical region of Transylvania, except several large areas along the edges towards the neighboring dialects.
The Transylvanian varieties are part of the northern group of Romanian dialects, along with Moldavian and Banat.
Among the Transylvanian varieties, the Crișana dialect is easier to distinguish, followed by the Maramureș dialect. Less distinct are two other dialectal areas, one in the northeast and another in the center and south.
Unlike the other Romanian dialects—those of Wallachia, Moldavia, and Banat—the Romanian of Transylvania is broken up into many smaller and less distinct local speech varieties, making its dialectal classification more difficult. Classifications made until the end of the 19th century included a Transylvanian dialect,[1] but as soon as detailed language facts became available (at the beginning of the 20th century), this view was abandoned. In 1908 Gustav Weigand used phonetic differences and reached the conclusion that the Romanian language in Transylvania was a mosaic of transition varieties.[2] Subsequent researchers agreed with his view.
Emil Petrovici suggested this dialectal fragmentation could be attributed to the fact that Transylvania has been inhabited for longer and had enough time to differentiate and split into small dialectal cells, determined by geography, whereas Moldavia and Wallachia were relatively recently colonized, which led to a remarkable dialectal unity in each of those two regions.[3]
Phonetic features[edit]
As a group, all Transylvanian varieties share a small number of common phonetic features:
- The stressed vowels [e, ə, o] open to [ɛ, ɜ, ɔ].
- After [s, z, t͡s], and in some varieties also after [ʃ, ʒ, r], the following vocalic changes occur: [e] becomes [ə], [i] becomes [ɨ], and [e̯a] reduces to [a].
- The diphthong [ɨj] found in the Wallachian dialect is realized here as the monophthong [ɨ]: [ˈkɨne, ˈmɨne, ˈpɨne] for cîine, mîine, pîine.
- Stressed vowels tend to be pronounced longer.
- The vowel [a] before a stressed syllable closes to [ə].
- In a series of verbs, the stress shifts to the root: [ˈblastəm, ɨnˈfəʃur, ˈstrəkur, ˈməsur] for standard blestém, înfășór, strecór, măsór.
- The vowel [u] is found in the full paradigm of the verbs a durmi, a adurmi ("to sleep, to fall asleep", compare with standard a dormi, a adormi).

Phoenix College, Phoenix, AZ (CIS and Business)
Northern Arizona University (Graduate Coursework)
I have received three associate's degrees in computer information systems, associate's in arts, associate's in business. I have also completed my bachelor's degree in technology management through Northern Arizona University. In addition to my three associate degrees I have certifications in; web design, web development, computer information systems, general business, and general education.

If you're interested in online lessons, message Loren to get started.
I honestly can't say enough about Loren!
I must have e-mailed over 30 tutors asking for MS Excel 2013 help. I specifically needed someone who knew 2013, not just "Excel". (I hired someone earlier only to find out he didn't know the 2013 version, which has some significant changes never seen before.)
Here I was worried about getting my assignment done in a week, yet Loren helped me in less than 1/2 a day! What I really liked is she uses technology to tutor. I was able to send her my instructions and she was able to assist me online. Even willing to put together a video!! Now that's creative ~ and fast! No arranging for a time and place to meet.
If I ever need a tutor again, it WILL be Loren who I ask first. Her style is a perfect fit for me. And, her help was exactly what I needed. Loren, thanks so much for your help and best of luck to you and your family!

Situated at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech is a thriving destination with a robust history and distinct culture. At its heart is the ancient walled city—the Medina—one of the largest souks in Morocco and home to magnificent Moorish palaces. The Medina's undisputed focal point is Jemaa el Fna, the busiest square in all of Africa. By day, it is a market, but by night the square takes on a carnival-like atmosphere. You'll be tempted by aromas from the food stalls and parades of snake charmers, musicians and dancers. With a dry climate and an endless array of things to do, Marrakech is the solution for a warm weather getaway during cooler months.
Follow this itinerary from Myriam Thomet, Guest Relations Manager at Four Seasons Resort Marrakech, to spend a wonderful weekend in this vibrant Moroccan city.
Day one
Explore Marrakech with a multilingual guide for half a day. Discover the amazing Medina and the opulent Bahia Palace. View the stunning Koutoubia Mosque and venture though Jemaa el Fna and the souks. Stop for lunch at Terrasse des Épices, located on a quiet rooftop hidden in the middle of the souks. The restaurant's small alcoves are perfect for a romantic lunch or for chatting with friends. After a stroll around the Medina, relax in a private cabana by one of the Resort's giant pools, as you enjoy Moroccan mint tea and pastries from Inara Bar and Lounge.

Have dinner at a traditional Moroccan restaurant, such as Al Fassia, located in the city centre, or Dar Yacout, with its carved cedar ceilings and mosaic floors and fountains. Experience nightlife in Marrakech and sip cocktails at Le Comptoir Darna, or head to Djellabar, where tradition meets modern art, music and tasty libations.
Day two
Start off your day with an unforgettable hot air balloon ride at sunrise, complete with magnificent views of the Atlas Mountains and a gourmet breakfast. After the 45-minute flight, head back to the Resort to be pampered at the Spa with a Moroccan Hammam Ritual. The steam from the Hammam and the traditional Rhassoul mask gently exfoliate and detoxify your skin. A signature Massage de Marrakech follows the ceremonial rinse. Enjoy lunch in a casual setting at Azzera Grill, overlooking the Resort's 40-metre long pool. The beautiful terrace is nestled among olive trees to create an oasis of calm.

Later, take a camel ride through the beautiful Palmeraie, the famous and ancient palm grove to the north. Savour a signature peach martini beside the roaring fires at Zest at Bleu d'Orange, a rooftop bar boasting spectacular views of the Atlas Mountains and Menara Gardens. After cocktails, dine in the Moroccan-inspired Solano, which features a refined menu crafted from only the finest local ingredients. Top off your night with dancing at the trendy SO Night Lounge with its four separate areas, or sway to the sounds from the DJ at the more intimate Bo Zin.

Here is the situation, I have a network wordpress installation with directories. I imported all of my previous posts onto a fresh installation, no plugins are active, I am using the default theme, and the .htaccess is the default set when networks are activated (i.e. only contains what Wordpess stated to put in there). I am using a static front page.
When I activate permalinks, any slug starting with blog results in an Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.
I have cleared the browser cache, tried different settings and resetting the permalinks, rebuilt the .htaccess to the default settings from the network admin panel.
The server is running Apache 2.2.23 and I also have my old wordpress single installation on this server - which has permalinks working fine. Any idea how I can fix this problem?

Iron City Now a Two-Title Town
Pittsburgh's Game 7 an Instant Classic; Now, Some Humble Ideas for Yanks' Empty Seats
The greatest song ever, "My Sharona," became a hit single. Cineastes everywhere flocked to see "The Jerk" and "Meatballs." "The Facts of Life" debuted on TV, provoking a national scourge of roller-skating private-school girls. Veteran Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer, at 82 years of age currently the oldest player in the major leagues, turned a sprightly 52.
These were things that happened in 1979, the last time a visiting team won a Finals Game 7 in one of America's marquee sports -- baseball, basketball, hockey and professional parakeet racing. That team was the "We Are Family" Pittsburgh Pirates, who beat the Baltimore Orioles in Baltimore with help from Willie Stargell and one of the Couch's personal heroes, the submariner relief pitcher Kent Tekulve (we spent much of the summer of '79 destroying the backyard imitating Mr. Tekulve's crazy-armed motion.)
Now another Pittsburgh team has snapped the drought: the Pittsburgh Penguins, who beat the Detroit Red Wings in Detroit on Friday night 2-1 to hoist the NHL's Stanley Cup. If you missed this contest, choosing to spend quality time with family, all we can say is, big mistake. It was a turbulent, fast-paced, anxiety-producing evening. Yes, that's exactly like a Friday night with family, but still, you missed a classic.
No matter which side you were on, you spent the last five minutes of this game yelling at the TV. Hockey gets a bad rap as a TV sport -- whiners moan they can't see the puck, and critics complain its ratings place somewhere between "Last Call with Carson Daly" and a board of assessors' meeting on public access. But NBC's coverage was enthusiastic (we've grown to love sideline -- sideice? -- reporter Pierre McGuire) and its camerawork was spectacular.
The behind-the-net video of Pittsburgh goalie Marc-Andre Fleury flopping around, holding off a furious last-minute Detroit charge made us feel like we were right there on the ice. Of course, if we were there, we would have let the goal in, cried, and surely blown the game in overtime.
When it was over and the Penguins tossed their gloves in the air, the good citizens of Pittsburgh got to do the two things they really wanted to do: celebrate their first Cup victory since 1992, and rub it in the faceshield of the traitorous Marian Hossa, who left the Penguins for Detroit over the off-season. It will be another long winter for Mr. Hossa, who is considering signing next year with the Atlanta Braves.
What made Game 7 especially stylish was that both Pittsburgh goals were scored by Maxime Talbot, the proud possessor of one of the all-time great playoff beards. Playoff beards were a personal matter for the Penguins: playoff MVP Evgeni Malkin shaved his off early in the postseason, and 21-year-old Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby isn't really old enough to go full-on lumberjack. Mr. Crosby began these playoffs resembling a Jonas Brother and ended it looking like a deejay on Ibiza.
Now Sid the Kid must decide if he wants to move out of the house of Penguin owner Mario Lemieux, where he resides during the season. "He can stay as long as he wants," Mr. Lemieux said to Mr. McGuire after the game. "He's 21 years old -- what is he going to do by himself?" Clearly, it's been a long time since Super Mario was 21 -- we can think of plenty of things Mr. Crosby could do -- but we're opposed to the young hockey hero moving out. In fact, we'd like him to freeload in Mr. Lemieux's house his entire career and hopefully play longer than Gordie Howe. How great would it be to have a creaky Crosby rumbling around Mr. Lemieux's house in padded slippers, demanding oatmeal and BenGay rubdowns?
So congratulations to Pittsburgh, America's latest Titletown, though that honor requires a small amount of latitude, since the city is also home to the 2009 Pittsburgh Pirates, who are spunky but as close to a title as Denise Richards is to an Oscar. Still, winning two big ones -- the Cup and the Super Bowl, won by the Steelers -- is worthy of civic pride. We'd suggest growing "Pirate Beards" with a vow not to shave until the Bucs win a World Series, but by then, all of Pittsburgh could wind up looking like ZZ Top.
Tips for Steinbrenner (No Need to Thank Us)
Do you know what's not really working out for the New York Yankees? Besides Chien-Ming Wang, that is. Those fancy seats.
Yes, you've read all about those fancy seats in the new Yankee Stadium, the ones that retailed for $2,500 and sold like Michigan windbreakers in Columbus, Ohio. The Yanks slashed prices, but looking at the empty seats in Saturday's nationally televised game versus the Mets, they're still not moving briskly (and it appeared sparse on Sunday, too).
On Saturday it was drizzly, but the rest of the joint, more equitably priced, looked packed. Even on TV, it's proving to be a distraction. The Yankee players deserve better.
We have three suggestions for solving the problem:
1. Give them away. Seriously, it's over. Fancy seats experiment: failed. It's time for the Yankees to turn a PR nightmare into a PR dream. Give the seats away to school kids, charities, laid-off workers. Don't worry about the feelings of the people who've already bought expensive seats. They're not going to get cooties from the riff-raff. Plus, those fancy-seats folks seem lonely.
2. Next year, rabid fans only. This year's pretty much cooked. But next April, do what many rock bands do. Bands got sick of looking into the best seats at concerts and seeing ungrateful suits. So they began offering up the first few rows to their most loyal followers. Let's see that in the Bronx. The plutocrats can still get close, but the first three rows? Facepaint only. Turn the Bronx into Cameron Indoor.
3. Make it one, really amazing seat. There's always a high roller who wants a one-of-a-kind experience. Find 81 of them. Million dollars a game. A fully reclining seat -- sleep through rain delays. Personal chef. Neck massages from Yogi Berra. Plus: free foam finger!
A Shaq-LeBron Duo Could Charge the Cavs
As Sunday night's NBA finals Game 5 approached, the Arizona Republic reported that a deal sending Shaquille O'Neal to the Cleveland Cavaliers remains a possibility. Who knows if it's true, but if it happens, everyone will be even more slap-happy for a Lakers-versus-Cavs final. Can't we get Shaq and Kobe to just play a big game of nationally televised one-on-one and put that storyline to rest? Or at least a polite game of Jenga?

Mary Catherine Rockwell, 85 of Zanesville, went to heaven on Dec. 2, 2009 at 1:45 p.m. surrounded by her loving family at home. Mary was born April 26, 1924 in Brooklyn, New York. She was the youngest of 6 children.
Mary is survived by a son and five daughters, William (Karen) Rockwell of Tennessee, Barbara (Butch) Sexton of New Philadelphia, Dolly (David) Gregorich, Mary (Butch) Grandstaff, Irma (Jack) Smith and Linda (Monk) Smith all of Zanesville, her former husband William (Edith) Rockwell of Taylor, Michigan. She was the greatest of Grandmas to 15 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild.
Mary loved to be with her grandchildren especially when they were little. She sang with them, played with them and just loved to watch them play. She helped her grandchildren learn to talk and some of them were learning words with a Brooklyn accent, that she still had until 1 ½ years ago when Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Dementia took most of her speech away. But she still knew her family even though sometimes they had to tell her their names, then she would remember.
Mary was at Willow Haven Care Center for 23 months, when her family could no longer take care of her, where she had so many workers that took care of her and grew to love her because if you knew her you had to love her. She was just that kind of person. Mary attended St. Thomas Aquinas Church.
Mary was preceded in death by her parents, her brothers and 2 grandsons: Troy Maxwell and Michael Rockwell.
Calling hours will be 12 to 2 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4 with funeral services officiated by Pastor David Gregorich at 2 p.m. in THE SNOUFFER FUNERAL HOME, 1150 W. Military Rd., Zanesville. Burial will follow in Zanesville Memorial Park Mausoleum.

No homeowner should be without a pair of water-pump pliers. "The adjustable jaws can fit around pipes of any diameter, and they offer plenty of torque for tough tasks like loosening rusted-on nuts," Richard says. The jaws should have nonslip teeth that grip well.

EXCL. PREVIEW: "Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps" #1 Enforces 'Sinestro's Law'
Comic Books
Here is the latest in our year-long look at one cool comic (whether it be a self-contained work, an ongoing comic or a run on a long-running title that featured multiple creative teams on it over the years) a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
Today we look at the first story arc in the legendary Walt Simonson Thor run, featuring the debut of Beta Ray Bill!
Really, I don't know if there has been a more perfect first issue to a writer/artist taking over a long-running title. I suppose Miller's first issue of Daredevil would count – but Miller had been the artist on Daredevil for quite awhile at the time, so that seems a bit more like an inevitability than anything. And as amazing as John Byrne's Fantastic Four was as a whole, his first issue wasn't necessarily as good as the rest of the run (Diablo stories rarely are). Now Walt Simonson's first issue of Thor, however, was three significant things…
1. Most importantly, it was well-written and well-drawn
2. It was catchy/shocking
3. It was a clever enough concept that it made people really think, "Oh yeah, why HAVEN'T they done that before?"
It's rare to see a writer look at a book's history and pull out a concept that should be so obvious, but has not been used yet, and Simonson's take on the whole "If only those worthy can lift Thor's hammer, there's got to be someone ELSE out there who is worthy, right?" idea.
And that brings us to Beta Ray Bill (and one of the most famous comic covers of the 1980s)…
Isn't that just the best cover ever if you're trying to say, "hey, folks, new start here!"
The first issue also opens with the legendary slow burn on the run up to the reveal of Surtur, the big bad of the first year of Simonson's run. Simonson and lettering demi-god John Workman set up Surtur's reveal beautifully…
So the issue involves SHIELD enlisting Thor in a strange fleet of spaceships that have passed by Earth. Thor investigates, and the main spaceship wakes up its "cargo," the protector of his people (who have been decimated by attacks by "demons"), Beta Ray Bill!….
During their battle, Thor loses his hammer and turns into Don Blake (naturally, he gets knocked out a few seconds after that turn of events). Meanwhile, Beta Ray Bill thinks that SHIELD is part of the "demons" that have plagued his people (what he and his ship are actually sensing is that the REAL bad guy, Surtur, has enough of the same magic as Thor that Thor's presence reads as being like Surtur), so he quickly looks for a weapon…
Pretty impressive sequence there by Simonson, huh? What a game-changer!
I also like how Simonson uses SHIELD and Nick Fury in this issue. It's the classic "use your shared continuity without being a slave to it" deal that writers should embrace more often.
So Odin calls Beta Ray Bill and Thor up to Asgard, and has them fight it out for the right to wield Mjolnir…
I love the way that Simonson manages to give both guys "hero" moments, and also the little bit about how Bill has been genetically altered to specifically be able to withstand heat, so the "victory" is not a matter of, like, Bill kicking Thor's butt or whatever.
So anyhow, after a talk with Odin, Bill realizes he really doesn't want Mjolnir, not if Odin and the Norse Gods will help him fight the demons (I don't believe we know yet that the demons are from Surtur, so that Odin would have a vested interest in helping Bill regardless of whether it was the right thing or not).
And we get the breathtaking sequence where Odin creates a new weapon for Beta Ray Bill to wield…
Pretty amazing opening for just three issues into his run, huh?
And the next issue shows Bill and Thor teaming up to kick demon behind.
The artwork is fantastic, the storytelling is wonderful, the story is bombastic and thrilling – this was one remarkable comic book run. Luckily for you all, it's all available in trade collections – go get 'em!!!
Best onomatopoeia gallery EVER!!! (Sorry, Batman)
What a brilliant run of comics.
Prior to this arc, was there really never any story where another character was deemed worthy enough to be able to pick up Thor's hammer? Didn't Steve Rogers pick it up at one time?
The best the character has ever been
Prior to this arc, was there really never any story where another character was deemed worthy enough to be able to pick up Thor's hammer? Didn't Steve Rogers pick it up at one time?
They all came after this arc (Cap was around #390).
Nobody else's Thor (even Kirby's) even comes close to this. So awesome.
This was the greatest run of Thor, even better than the Kirby run (much better writing). Thor had been so bad for so long I was getting ready to drop it, after collecting it obsessively since #180.
I really, REALLY want to read this run, but since it's already taken me this long to get around to it, and there's a Thor movie right around the corner, I'm holding out hope that we'll get an omnibus volume or two. Those trades sitting at the top of my wishlist get more and more tempting though…
Simonson is like the uber-Kirby. He's a good artist and a decent writer on non-Kirby properties, but he just demolishes all the competition when he works on Kirby creations. I keep holding out hope that he will either create a Kamandi series or return to Marvel to do the Black Panther before he dies.
Awesome arc, and the ending is a prime example of how to reboot a character and make it feel organic at the same time.
Simonson's Thor is the gold standard for Thor stories, and it's easy to see why. The art is glorious and cosmic in its splendour and you really feel like you're seeing something larger than life. You have terrific shorter stories running around while Simonson builds to the big SurtWar and it all fits together so well without making the book inaccessible to the new reader.
Glad to see a tip o' the helmet to John Workman, whose lettering really added to the book. He really made it stand out as something different and wonderful, which rarely happens with lettering today.
The whole run is wonderful, but the beginning, when Walt wrote and drew the whole thing is the cream of a very rich crop.
God was this good stuff. Simonson's run felt big and epic without sprawling beyond one title. His little grace notes get used as the definitive examples of how to use a shared universe 25 years later.
Another voice in the chorus, but this was a truly amazing run on THOR, easily the best since the heyday of the Lee-Kirby team.
John Byrne's first issue of his FF run: Incidentally, Brian, I would argue that Byrne's first issue was intentionally a low key affair, an an attempt to go recapture some of the more earthbound feel of the early FF. Indeed, the very title of the issue ("Back to the Basics") heralds this approach.
I like that they're all wearing protective goggles in the forge. Remember, kids, occupational health & safety is important, even for gods!
Hey Brian!
i think that the GL post is supposed to be in the Koolest DC moments, as this is all 'bout Thor.
Thanks, Dan!
Nothing to add to the voluminous praise here. It's all well-deserved. I just have to say, Roman's suggestion above really struck a nerve: Simonson doing a revived Kamandi series would be too awesome for words!
Between the opening arc (which I love), the battle for Asgard with Loki, Thor and Odin side by side by side facing Surtur, and Skuttlebutt and Sif facing the demons together. Ah forget it. Simonson's Thor is really what got me into collecting comics.

Critic Consensus: To the Wonder demonstrates Terrence Malick's gift for beautiful images, but its narrative is overly somber and emotionally unsatisfying.

Critic Reviews for To The Wonder
All Critics (158) | Top Critics (46) | Fresh (72) | Rotten (86) | DVD (1)
Malick is employing his usual style of montage and voice-over narration but in a new, contemporary setting that makes Wonder feel like his most vital work in years.
Love is a many-splendored thing, except when it isn't in To the Wonder, a wispy romantic movie about the death of a romance.
What is most affecting is Malick's intent. He plainly devised the story to give him a series of panels for the expression of feeling.
The movie plays like an undercooked pie that hasn't had enough time to cool and settle.
Essentially it's an agglomeration of Malick's worst stylistic annoyances.
Audience Reviews for To The Wonder
"You have to struggle with yourself. You have to struggle with your own strength". Say what you will about the stylings of Terrence Malick. He's undoubtedly a director that puts his own stamp on things and refuses to tell a story in any conventional sense. He's more interested in capturing moments and subtle glances while pondering the larger themes of love, life and religious beliefs. When you back at his older works of "Days Of Heaven", "The Thin Red Line" or "The Tree Of Life", for example, you'll find these themes in abundance. From a personal point of view, I often find Malick's approach to be highly appealing but with "To The Wonder", I was left somewhat distant and uninterested this time around. Marina (Olga Kurylenko) is a Parisian single-mother who falls madly in love with tourist Neil (Ben Affleck) and moves with her daughter Tatiana (Tatiana Chiline) to America. Their love begins to dissipate, however, and Neil eventually seeks solace in his old friend Jane (Rachel McAdams) as Marina turns to Father Quintana (Javier Bardem), who is also exploring his own dwindling faith and confusion. Opening in Paris with the focus on Affleck and Kurylenko who obviously have a strong emotional engagement, we are guided through Malick's soulful exploration of love. We hear the internal dialogues of his characters as they strive for reason and understanding. Unfortunately, as a viewer, I too was searching for these things as Malick is so elusive and overly suggestive that it becoming increasingly frustrating and depressing as we observe hugely underwritten characters that do very little to grab your attention or even evoke any level of appeal or understanding. Malick's vision is certainly a beautiful one and his cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki delivers some striking work. The camera pirouettes with long, sweeping movements that again capture Malick's ethereal approach. However, after about 20 minutes, you realise that it feels like you're watching a Chanel perfume ad and after several scenes of a cool breeze rustling through the cornfields and Kurylenko dancing her little cotton sock off under an autumnal sun, it's apparent that this all we're going get. The dialogue is sparse, to say the least, and there's more nibbling on earlobes than there is any actual verbal exchanges between the characters. Affleck, in particular, says very little throughout the entire film and is only required to stand around with his hands in pockets and brood. Rachel McAdams makes an appearance of another of Affleck's love interests but all she has to do is brush her horse's main on her Oklahoman ranch and let the wind blow her hair across her face from time to time. Our religious commentary comes in the form of Bardem's afflicted priest who has began to question his spiritual fulfilment. Is god still around us? Does such a entity even exist? Would relationships be easier if we felt more of his love and presence? Do we really care? It's not often I've find myself criticising Malick. Like I mentioned earlier, he's a director I greatly admire and "The Thin Red Line" is a masterwork in my eyes but this is strictly a colour by numbers effort that's seriously aloof and lacking in narrative. Some may revel in it's abstraction and ambiguity but, quite frankly, I found it to be tediously dull. As much as I love Malick's affinity with nature, I'd rather have watched the grass grow on this occasion. Not so much Wonder as Wander; Malick's latest existential elegy is meandering, pretentious clap-trap that surprisingly (from a former philosophical lecturer) has very little to say and it's entirely understandable why it was met with boos at the Venice Film Festival.

An impressionistic portrait of a love affair between a French woman and an American man. Nothing happens in this well-intentioned bore that seems to be fashioned from leftover scraps of THE TREE OF LIFE.
Super Reviewer
It finally happened: I found a Terrence Malick film I don't like. Considering how all his films are basically the same, that seems a little odd to say, but there it is. I think he finally hit a rut. Either that or maybe I'm finally at a point where I can admit that maybe I'm not the admirer of artsy crap I thought I was The simple story here involves a man named Neil who romances a woman named Marina while on a trip to France. He convinces her to move back to his native Oklahoma, but their blissful life turns sour when Jane- an old flame, comes back into Neil's life. That's basically it. There's also segments where a local priest dispenses sage advice, but the bulk of the film is about love in various forms, as seen through the lens of on again/off again relationships. Like The Tree of Life, research tells me that this film has shades of autobiographical material from Malick's own life. That's cool I suppose, and, while I do appreciate unconventional approaches to conventional material at times, I really don't think it works here. There are admittedly some profound, beautiful, and excellent moments here, but they're surround by a number of really mundane, tedious, and, I'll be honest, achingly boring moments. There's dull moments in other Malick films, true, but with this one, they really stick out, and there's not a enough of the good stuff to keep things working. This is a story that perhaps didn't need to be AS abstract. It just meanders about, throws all kinds of words, sounds, and images around, and then ends. It doesn't help that with a lot of the narration, that some of what's said is just plain trite, banal, and uninspired. For a movie about love, this is amazingly cold, detached, and emotionally vacant. I don't really care about the characters and can't help but shrug as I watch their lives unfold, which basically consists of lots of twirling, walking, and not saying much...especially Ben Affleck. Based on his performance here, I think he could have done quite well for himself during the silent era of cinema. He seriously has like no more than a paragraph's worth of lines. I had hoped that Javier Bardem as the priest would have saved the movie, and indeed, some of the moments I really enjoyed involved him, but ultimately even he couldn't make this film any better. Yes, the film is well shot, looks terrific, and has nice music, but in the end it really doesn't amount to much. Again with the redundancies, but somehow this film, despite being like the rest of Malick's films, somehow ends up not working. Unless you're a Malick completist, I don't really recommend it. Even then, I'm not really sure if I'd recommend it. I mean, I love this guy's work, and even I can say this film is all that worthwhile.

I always look forward to your posts. I appreciate them and I like everything you feature. Sorry that I'm not coming off as sarcastic or whatever, but I just wanted to communicate that. Thank you, Jen Graves.
@2 I saw it in person tonight and thought the exact same thing. One difference is that there is less background/scene setting/narrative in the paintings. The other artist showing there, Nealy Blau, a photographer, also had awesome work.
I had the HUGEST crush on Justin in college...
both shows are great, but i love his PUNCH show!!

Obviously you have no idea of how this site works so you are making a remark out of pure ignorance. Keyword buying and selling is the new gold on the internet as keywords produce money through advertising., Unlike forex and other types of trading and hyips where you can LOSE MONEY..In keyword trading you can ONLY MAKE PROFIT and no loss. I used to trade forex and see the risks now I trade keywords I see only greenbacks!!
I also manage ten kooday accounts now for other members and also am in Kooday live chat support as well to answer may queries people may have.
My Kooday portfolio has grown to over 5k from a 750 bucks investment for me and my husband and that portfolio earns me money every week and is growing. One of the best investments I ever made..I don't find anything stupid in that.
They are also coming out of Beta soon and we will be able to buy share sin the BIG EXPENSIVE WORDS for pennies..that will earn us even more revenue and other great things to come out of Beta.

Just back from three more days at the S.P. centre at Register House (National Records of Scotland), Edinburgh. It's a joy to research there as the systems are so fast and the help is unstinting. I get the most from my visits by working with the Online "Scotlands People" website at home. A single credit (20p) can be used to search for up to 30 results on a printed page, for example marriages of a certain name in a certain county. That page can then be taken to the SP centre and each marriage certificate viewed for more in-depth info such as parents, ages of the parties, witnesses...
