PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
In honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the X-Men, we're doing a poll of the greatest X-Family (spin-offs of the X-Men) stories of all-time (Here is our previous list of the 50 Greatest X-Men Stories)! You all voted, now here are the results of what you chose as the 50 Greatest X-Family stories!
We'll do five each day from here on out (until we get towards the end, when it'll probably get down to 3 a day). Here is a master list of every story featured so far.
40. "Judgement War" X-Factor #43-50
In this storyline by Louise Simonson, Paul Smith, Al Milgrom and Rich Buckler, X-Factor finds themselves transported to an alien world where the people are separated by how close each class is to "perfection." Jean Grey, being pretty much perfect, is considered tops on the planet. Beast, not so much. X-Factor is split up and eventually Iceman and Archangel end up participating in gladiator combat against each other. And it turns out that the Celestials are coming to judge this world. Can X-Factor save it? Plus, since this storyline contained either an odd or an even numbered issue in it, baby Nathan was kidnapped.
39. "The Open Hand, The Closed Fist" X-Force #19
When the remaining members of the New Mutants joined up with Cable's new team, dubbed X-Force, they essentially became terrorists, at least in the eyes of the world's police authorities. The rest of the X-teams, though, were content to let them do their own thing until the events of the X-Cutioner's Song, when it looked like Cable just shot Professor Xavier for no reason. So they were hunted down and after that story ended with Cable's seeming death, X-Force was at a bit of a crossroads. They were still sort of wanted criminals, the X-Men were keeping them under house arrest and they didn't even know if they wanted to continue together without Cable. Ultimately, Cannonball led the team away from X-Men custody, giving this big over-the-top speech to Professor X over whether they will follow the open hand approach (like Xavier) or the closed fist approach (like Cable). For Cannonball's point to be made, he carries a mouse around in his hand. It is pretty funny. Also, the members of X-Force work out in the Danger Room and Shatterstar is referred to by the nickname "Shatty." Awesome. Fabian Nicieza, Greg Capullo and Harry Candelario were the creative team.
38. "Old Man Logan" Wolverine #66-72, Wolverine: Old Man Logan Giant-Sized #1
In this epic tale, it has been 50 years since Logan retired as Wolverine. Now he is trying to make a life with his family on the outskirts of one section of what the U.S. has become after super villains have conquered the nation.. The Hulk Gang, though (who are in charge of the section he lives in), draw him out of retirement and he must go on a cross country mission with a blind Hawkeye in the Spider-Mobile. The storyline is about a man trying to forget his past as a hero but just can't ignore evil for any longer. Mark Millar, Steve McNiven and Dexter Vines was the creative team.
37. "Multiple Problems" X-Factor #71-75
Peter David, Larry Stroman and Al Milgrom took over X-Factor, revamping the title from "the original X-Men hang out together because they're all co-dependent" to a government-sponsored mutant superhero team, starring the sort of remnants from the mutant world (the characters not popular enough to be picked to be on either the Blue or Gold X-Men teams). Disaster strikes early when it appears that Jamie Madrox, the Multiple Man, has been murdered. Instead, we learn that one of Jamie's dupes has gone rogue and X-Factor must stop evil Jamie and his crew of Nasty Boys. Plus, they must deal with the nagging suspicion that "their" Jamie is actually the dupe and the evil one is the REAL Jamie. This story arc was especially noteworthy for the humorous approach David took towards the formation of a superhero team. A real Giffen/DeMatteis feel to things.
36. "The Shiva Scenario" Wolverine #48-50
After Weapon X introduced the concept of Wolverine not remembering everything about his past, Larry Hama, Marc Silvestri and Dan Green (plus extra inkers) explore Wolverine's past by introducing the concept that he might actually not remember anything TRUE about his past. He learns that he was not the only test subject of Weapon X. Some of his old comrades like John Wraith were also in the project. As Wolverine digs to find answers about his past, he accidentally sets off a Weapon X safeguard – a robot designed to attack in case a test subject went haywire. This featured the return of Wolverine to his original costume (after nearly a decade of the John Byrne revamped costume).
"Multiple Problems" is my #1 favourite mutant story ever, including the ones with "X-Men" in the title. (I'm also glad that I own all these other than Judgement War, so this time I only need to track down that one story. From #50-#41 I need to hunt down four!)
It's nice to be reminded that – despite what message boards would have you think – people still enjoy Mark Millar's writing.
Sorry to be contrarian DanCJ, but I thought Old Man Logan was a top 5 worst comic book story I've ever read. And I'm honestly not a Milligan hater; I generally love his Ultimate stuff (I even think his Ultimate X-Men run is underrated), as well as his Swamp Thing and Authority runs. I even think Enemy of the State, while not great, still has its merits. But Old Man Logan, ugghhh… I generally consider my second least favorite comic story ever behind All-Star Batman and Robin. It's nothing more than a rewrite of Unforgiven with Wolverine cast as Clint Eastwood and the setting of the Road Warrior subbing in for the old west. And while those genre thefts don't necessarily make it a bad comic, Millar's refusal to touch on anything interesting does. This story just caters to the lowest common denominator of letting Wolverine spend eight offensively decompressed issues being cool and tough, without ever once saying or doing something remotely interesting. There's no character work here, just Millar using Wolverine in the worst possible way he can be used: an unkillable killer used for nothing more than splash-page fodder and getting teenage boys to excitedly discuss how cool he is.
I haven't read Judgment War, but I like the others here. I thought that brief Nicieza/Capullo run on X-Force w/o Cable (basically just issues 19-24) was pretty fun and underrated at the time, so it's nice to see it turn up here even if I didn't consider voting for it. I did vote for Multiple Problems and The Shiva Scenario made my list of 20 or so options.
15 entries in so far and I'm pretty sure we've seen a dozen different writers, with only Claremont, David, and Milligan having two entries each. I'm enjoying this list.
So glad X-Force 19 made the list. I'm now on the board! I loved that issue, especially Cannonball's speech at the end. I put different X-Factor issues on my list, but I can definitely support X-Factor 71-75 being on there. Some great issues and moments. I read and enjoyed the Shiva Scenario when I was a kid, but never revisited. Does it really hold up. I remember my favorite issue of the Judgement War being the fill-in issue with Warren and the runaways. Seemed like good stuff at the time!
i am still just one for 10. stories i didn't even consider are making the list, so im pretty sure i'll be lucky to do 4/10..still good stuff.
Glad to see X-Force #19 on the list! Issues like that one always come to mind to dispel those offer rumors that '90s X-comics weren't very good. Nicieza's characterizations were great.
On the other hand, I'm also really happy that Old Man Logan isn't any higher. I was afraid it'd end up being top five. I don't hate the story, but it's just such an obvious, random, shock-value oriented tale, which seemed to overly impress people when it came out. Precious few (if any) of the developments we see in this future actually say anything interesting about the characters; it's all just a bunch of goofy random stuff. I do actually like some of it, and think that it's definitely a fun story, but to hear some people tell it, it's the greatest classic in Wolverine history. Happy to see that, on this list at least, solid stuff like the "Shiva Scenario" beats out "Old Man Logan".
Now all I have to worry about is the most cliche and boring holocaust story ever told ("Magneto Testament") making the top ten…
Old Man Logan started off well but the conclusion sucked all the fun out of the story. It was unnecessarily violent and nihilistic, thus killing any fun I'd had with the previous issues.
Multiple Problems was fun. I'm amazed Peter David got the cast he was dealt to work as well as they did. Larry Stroman's oddball angularity fit the cast, especially Guido & Rahne.
As goofy as it was, the "open hand/closed fist" scene is about all I remember from that era of X-Force. Teenage me thought it was deeeep, man.
Wolverine 50 sports one of my favorite enhanced covers. Marvel timed the release of 48-50 perfectly; those of us that liked Weapon X & wanted to know more could hop on to Wolverine the next month. Hama & Silvestri made a killer creative team.
Brian, I'm enjoying the snark that's creeped into these plot descriptions.
The thing that struck me about Judgement War is how bad the art looks in comparison to previous Paul Smith X related work. I can't tell for certain but I'm guessing the inker is to blame as I've not liked Al Milgrom's inking elsewhere (sorry Al!)
I'm not surprised Old Man Logan made the list, I'm surprised its so early. I was expecting it in the top half, though honestly I expected this list to essentially be a best of Wolverine list with some Peter David X-factor thrown in. I've enjoyed being wrong.
None of my picks have made it yet, but I'm really enjoying this count down so far!
Old Man Logan would be my example of Millar at his worst if he hadn't also written Kick Ass 2. As other commenters have put it, Old Man Logan is too many issues featuring "COOL OMG" moments that aren't generative for character or even for the themes of redemption. It's just empty window dressing. What does it say about Logan that Claremont didn't do in one single issue?
OML(and much of Millar's writing) is just a five year old's fan wank ideas put on paper. "OMG what if Venom was a T-Rex?? ZOMG What if Red Skull was Captain Mmurica AND The President!!!" etc etc.
Oh, and professional attention whore Mark Millar paid me $20 to mention his name.
Still 0-for. I am kinda stunned Judgement War made the list. I thought it was terrible.
Haven't read ANY of these, though I still kinda sorta intend to read some X-Factor someday.
Well, come to think of it, I guess I did read Old Man Logan, but with so little engagement that I hardly remember it.
Wow. Judgement War is the one section of my X-Factor collection that I sold off because it was so boring. A precursor for The Age if Decompression.
I voted for both "Judgment War" and "The Shiva Scenario." But I'm really pleasantly surprised that the former made the Top 50. I honestly thought I was one of the few people to remember it, much less like it. Glad to see I'm not the only one who enjoyed it. Definitely had some nice writing by Louise Simonson.
I do agree that "The Open Hand, The Closed Fist" from X-Force #19 and "Multiple Problems" from X-Factor #71-75 were also both very good. Peter David's first X-Factor story almost made my list of votes.
Never read "Old Man Logan," though. Maybe one of these days.
Didn't much enjoy Judgment War. Thought it was too long, rather dull, and mostly pointless.
Haven't read X-Force #19.
I read Old Man Logan a couple years after it was published, and it'd been hyped quite a bit by that point. After finishing it, I thought it was over-hyped and underwhelming, but still alright. It didn't help that I went into the story under a false pretense. "Wolverine meets Unforgiven? Hell yes I want to read that!" Yeah, that's not really the case. I can sort of see the Unforgiven comparison when talking about the first and last issue, but not the meat of the story. I thought it was a mostly goofy story set in a very interesting, but poorly utilized, world. The setting is rife with potential, but it saw practically no development in the story outside Wolverine's direct interaction with it, which was a shame.
Multiple Issues came really close to making my list. Peter David + X-Factor is one of the most sure-fire combinations in comicdom. Going back to this after reading his Decimation-era relaunch, you can see a lot of the trademarks of his work there already being established here. I think his later X-Factor work is more refined, but that first X-Factor run is still one of the best X-book runs ever and very much worth visiting (or revisiting). I knew it was well-received, but I was honestly surprised at just how well written and enjoyable it was.
Hama's Wolverine run is a "whole is greater than its parts" thing for me. When I try to think of one story from that run to recommend to people I can never come up with one. Shiva Scenario's not a bad choice, and is one of the higher points of his run. Thinking back, I'm not sure Hama actually did much to shine some light on Wolverine's origin. Whenever he dove into it, especially the Weapon X stuff, there was always the feeling of "is that really true, or just more lies and manipulation?" But that mystery was an aspect of his run that I always enjoyed. He had a strong grasp of the character and did some fun and interesting things with him, and there was a subtle darkness to some of his stories that I associate with the run overall. Elsie Dee, and Albert to an ever so slightly lesser extent, were just a terrible ideas, however. I still mostly enjoy the run between #39-46, but whenever Elsie shows up I just wish she'd go away and never come back. But she still crept up from time to time after that run, though mostly as a side issue and never for very long. That batch of issues is pretty much the perfect example of my "sum is greater…" feelings about that run.
I really should read Judgment War just because of Paul Smith's involvement.
I must have read X-Force 19 back in the day, just have no memory of it.
Old Man Logan, I own issue 70, the whole "What Wolverine Did" issue, which was amazing!
The Shiva Scenario, I own issue 50, which was pretty awesome what that did with the Wolverine mythos.
Not a bad assortment of issues here.
I get the feeling from the comments that you weren't a fan, but X-Force 19 was one of the three stories on my list. Now if I could only have come up with three more, it would've gotten my vote.
(And it's too bad you couldn't have included a few pages from each story. Cannonball's "open had/closed fist" speech deserves to be shared with the world. Mouse and all.)
I think the biggest problem with Old Man Logan is that it's spread over too many issues. If Millar had trimmed it down to like 3, maybe 4, issues, instead of the 8 that we got, I think it would have been great. But it's Millar, so why would he do 3 when he can do 8?
Peter David is always great, but Larry Stroman's art was horrible even by '90s standards.
The two x-factor runs were both on my list. Really surprised Judgement Wat made it. I wanted to read it again before I voted to see if it held up, but couldn't find my x-factors. So I just voted from nostalgia.
John: Don't. If you'e reading it just for the art then what's here is nowhere near as good as previous Smith X-Men work.
Reprinted in a Essential X-Factor 3 in B&W. No colour reprint available.
Multiple Issues is one of my picks!
Love that story, even with Mr Sinister, who at that point was new to me and had not yet become one of my least favorite villains hahaha.
Shiva Scenario I liked a lot but didn't make my list.
Same with X-Force #19, part of a great run until #25 that I almost voted for.
I finally read Old Man Logan recently and it's boring pointless overextended overrated garbage with a few cool moments here and there.
Haven't read Judgement War.
I am absolutely floored by some of these choices (in a good way.) I haven't read some of these in over a decade and am shocked to see how well-liked they are when teenage me was just not impressed. Great poll!
Just a quick correction: I'm pretty sure the Hama/Silvestri team ended their run on Wolverine with the death of Mariko seven issues later.
None of mine have made the list (yet), but a lot of the X-Force stuff that made it so far would have been if I was listing a top 20. X-Force 19 especially.
I just wanted to question the tone these story descriptions were written in, it seems a little condescending for a greatest story list. X-Force 19 might seem silly in write up, but it was a really powerful issue at the time and obviously people felt for it to appear here.
Is the author of these not an X-fan?
Thanks Philip for the heads up. I absolutely love Paul Smith's run on Uncanny, but I've never followed him to anything else except for his Shadow and Flame mini and that one She-Hulk issue. Keep meaning to give his Keave it to Chance but can never find it anywhere.
I do enjoy the Essential format, a slew of comics for only twenty dollars, what a deal. Maybe I'll try Volume Three of X-Factor out if I can find it locally. Thanks for knowing which volume it is.
"This was the end of the acclaimed Hama/Silvestri run" I'm pretty sure their run continued on after 50, ending sometime later with the death of Mariko
oh, somebody beat me to it
Nothing from my list. I don't have many memories of X-Force in general. I read it, it just never really left an impact on me. Multiple Issues almost made it just for the first issue alone – the mayo jar. Such a great gag. Old Man Logan was a fun story, and made my shortlist, but I just didn't enjoy it enough to include on my final list. I've never particularly cared much about Wolverine. There was very little I truly enjoyed from the original X-Factor.
Just a quick correction: I'm pretty sure the Hama/Silvestri team ended their run on Wolverine with the death of Mariko seven issues later.
Yeah, good point. I was confused because of all the fill-in artists over the next few issues, but yeah, Silvestri still officially stuck with the book until the Mariko storyline.
Agree about the problems with Old Man Logan, which is especially frustrating because Millar wrote a superbly fun Wolverine story with "Enemy of the State". The latter was a big dumb crossover adventure, but it was written inventively with a lot of neat twists and turns. The former was basically a bland merger of Hollywood tropes with Marvel Universe tropes, often in an aggravatingly cliche fashion (Hawkeye as the blind old master? Really?)
@John Klein III, Paul Smith had a great run on Doctor Strange in the 80's as well. I only mention it because I just discovered it recently.
Marvel was really on a roll in the early 80's. I can pick up almost any random issue and it's good or great and then I read the Checklists for the month and just see all kinds of cool books written up as well. Not to mention EPIC Magazine and the Epic line.
And then you get things like Star Comics as well, but 10 year old me fondly remembers the Ewok comics…
Must pick up the Doctor Strange run.
There's also a Iron man issue in the late 150s that he pencils that's a lot like his X-Men work – Iron Man 159
Does anyone know if Smith changed his style or is it the Inker responsible for Judgement War looking different?
The inker, most likely. Most of Smith's issues were just layouts.
Loving some of these writeups. They remind me of that favorite X-Men list, which was comedy gold, especially bits like Colossus liking the underage girls and Bobby Drake and Rogue being illiterate.
MULTIPLE PROBLEMS is the second story from my top 20 to make the list…it was at number 14
still none from the top 10
The only really meaningful that Old Man Logan contributed to comics as a whole was the most useless double-page spread in history. For those of you who've read it, you know what I'm talking about…
Still no X-23, sigh…
"the most useless double-page spread in history. For those of you who've read it, you know what I'm talking about…"
Yeah, I know.
But then, almost half of every issue was pointless splash pages/panels. The whole thing could have been easily condensed to about 4 issues.
Some great stories here. X-Force 19 was number 6 on my list; I love the pairing of Capullo and Nicieza on this book, and this may very well have been their strongest issue together. Also, as a Cannonball fan, his speech at the end is amazing.
The Shiva Scenario was 8 on my list; I just bought the Silvestri Wolverine Legends trade a couple months ago, and this story became an instant favorite of mine. I've always loved Silvestri's art, and Hama was amazing while he was writing this book. This was back before the Weapon X stuff had gotten tedious, so I imagine it must have been very exciting for fans at the time. Not shocking that they ultimately made this story into a solid episode of the 90s cartoon.
Also, I'm a fan of the two X-Factor arcs here, as someone who is a big fan of both Paul Smith and Larry Stroman. I wish both guys had put out a lot more work, they're both extremely talented.
I remember just HATING Strohman's work on "X-Factor" when I first saw it. I later realized that was because I was like 10, and I wanted everyone to draw like Jim Lee. Looking back, I love it. It's so stylistic and expressive and interesting.
Also not a fan of Stroman's pencils – though Peter David's XFactor deserves all the kudos it gets.
Rather surprised that Judgement War Made this list – also remember it being rather dull. Thought it was Walt Simonson on pencils. Oh well. I may be in the minority but I'd take Weezie's New Mutants over her Xfactor.
I'm happy that these showed up on the list.
X-FORCE #19 : I do not think Cannonballs' speech at the end was "over-the-top" or "funny", as Brian Cronin does. As someone else said, it was a very powerful issue at the time :
It showed that X-Force had outgrown Xavier's naive dream of co-existence and his methods, and that they were no longer the teenage New Mutants that had been under his wing.
After Rob Liefeld left, X-Force was quite brilliant and enjoyable, as far as writing and art. Fabian Nicieza and Greg Capullo were involved in some of the best Original X-Force stories. Tony Daniel had some great work in it, as well. I hope that more of the stories from that time show up on this list. # 20-25 definitely should.
WOLVERINE : Chris Claremont and Larry Hama are the only writers to really 'get' Wolverine… they are the only writers who have worked on the character and did an immensely enjoyable job. Their characterization of him was perfect…a far cry from the inconsistent portrayals of Logan we get nowadays.
# 48-50 was popular at the time. As someone else pointed out, it was when Weapon X as a story element had not been overdone yet. If only the film X-MEN ORIGINS : WOLVERINE could have been done as well as these issues and Barry Windsor-Smith's WEAPON X.
More of Hama/Silvestri Wolverine should show up on the list.
OLD MAN LOGAN : People saying this was "shock value", "unnecessarily violent", and "nihilistic" : It's by Mark Millar, those qualities are the style/tone of everything he writes ! What did you expect ?
I love alternate reality/timeline/future stories (nothing will ever beat "Days of Future Past")…I would not say this was the worst, but it was far from the best.

Using this plugin used to be great, but we can no longer reliably show or hide widgets on single URLs or even on wildcards.
It seems to work pretty well with the standard checkboxes, byt when you try to define URLs is doesn't always work, so on a few servers we've given up.
At the moment i'm messing with it somewhere that I noticed it had stopped working - Not sure why, and the forums filled with users about trying this or that at different servers, and other's who have hasd it stop working.
That that may be "fine" for some people, but it does kill my ability to give 5 star rating for this plugin.
The best thing I can say about it now (and we've used it at over 20 sites) is that "if you futz with it long enough you can usually get it working."
Developers and site owners need a plugin to consistently and reliably have showing and hide any widget they wish, and unfortunately, this plugin has lost it's way.

ATLANTA (AP) - Registered sex offenders would not be allowed to
run for or serve on a school board in Georgia under legislation
that passed in the state Senate.
State Sen. John Douglas sponsored the measure that passed
unanimously Tuesday.
Douglas, a Republican from Social Circle, says he was spurred by
a 2008 incident in his Newton County district where a convicted
pedophile unsuccessfully sought a seat on the local school board.
He says the legislation would stop sex offenders from using a
seat on the school board to gain access to children.
It now moves to the House.

Tools I tried:
- https://docs.google.com/viewer
- LibreOffice
- unoconv
All of them have some problems with
.docx documents and documents with complex format. Are there any other tools? I want to try something else and make better choice for my task.

I reserved room for my gf in this hotel. Prior to ordering room I called several times to ask questions and staff over the phone was very nice and professional. My gf was happy with room and services, close to USA embassy. Will reserve again
Good situated, new hotel near the center of the city.
Some misunderstanding between hotel stuff and me started to grow when I could not get something from the room service for about 1,5 hours. Later in the morning I've discovered that the "fast breakfast", described in the book in my room, cannot be served - hotel stuff simple doesn't know about that kind of breakfast (as described, it could be served until 12:00am). Though the kind duty manager tried to explain me something - I guess that for that money you should not get that level of service.
Good place for business meetings if you well equipped with your own AV system
Very large room (45 sq m) with no connecton to Internet and without possibility for mains connection for notebook at the working desk (only single power outlet below the table for lamp, PC, boiler, mobile charger ect.). Strange room plan.
Fine service, kind reception personnel, pleasant& quite large room.
Tap water was brownish (iron?), cauliflower at breakfast was gross and chewy ;)
very clean, good price for a hotel of this level.
windows can't be opened to let the fresh air in.
Fair value for money
Rooms are good. Breackfast could be better.

The new TANG CD "Blood & Sand" is available with a limited number of advance copies!
Featuring Dee Snider from Twisted Sister on the track "Reign of Blood"!! Get it now!!
Dee Snider just unleashed a bitter rant about Twisted Sister drummer A.J. Pero's death -- saying his heart attack was totally avoidable, but Pero did nothing to save himself or protect his family.
Dee came on TMZ Live to talkTMZ Live to talk about the band's upcoming farewell tour, but ended up venting about Pero. Dee told us he's in the anger stage of grieving because ... he says Pero knew he had a history of heart disease in his family, but never got checked out.
A.J.'s autopsy results -- which Dee revealed -- are what really set him off about his friend's death.
Watch him unload ... he's a man on a mission.
A.J. Pero was laid to rest (3/26/15). We took this photo in 1985 after a shoot we did with his monster Ludwig drum kit for the "Come Out and Play" tour. I have been finding some classic photos of A.J. from back in the day. Here is a slide show I put together that I would like to share with his family and fans. - mark weiss
In 1984, Twisted Sister hit it big with their rebel anthem, "We're Not Gonna Take It." It was the moment that lead singer Dee Snider had dreamed of since he was a kid listening to artists like David Bowie and Alice Cooper.
"I was an outcast," Snider tells "Oprah: Where Are They Now?" "I was a kid who didn't fit in with any particular clique."
In a business not known for fostering healthy and stable relationships, singer Dee Snider and his wife, Suzette, have somehow made their marriage work for 34 years and running, even as Dee traveled the world as a frontman in the glam metal band Twisted Sister. How have they survived the ups and downs and kept things fresh and interesting decades into their union? Watch the Video
See Dee on Oprah's 'Where Are They Now?' this Sunday, April 5, 2015 on the Own Network.

The date of separation in a California divorce plays an important role in many family law cases.
It can be the difference between whether or not an asset is community versus separate property and whether a marriage is of a long duration such that spousal support may continue indefinitely until death or remarriage or a short-term marriage where spousal support may cut off at the "half the duration of the marriage" mark.
In this article we will discuss how the date of separation in a California divorce is determined and what factors the family law court would take the consideration when he or she decides your date of separation.
In California, a date of separation occurs when either the husband or the wife does not intend to continue the marriage and either of their actions are consistent with a final breakup in the marital relationship. Separation does not occur simply because there was a fight or even if one spouse temporarily moves out. The problems must be significant enough to impair the marital relationship such that there isn't a reasonable possibility of eliminating or resolving the issues that caused the breakdown. Nothing in this article is legal advice or intended to apply to your specific situation. To obtain legal advice about your specific situation, consult with an experienced California family law attorney.
What does the family court look at when determining the date of separation in California?
California divorce courts typically looks at each spouse's living situation and whether or not the two of them are truly separated. Some of the factors the family court takes into consideration include whether the spouses continue to live under the same roof, continue to hold themselves out to the public including family and friends as married or separated, continue to merge their finances and support each other, file joint or separate income taxes, engage in sexual intercourse with each other, date others and, in general, whether their private conduct is consistent with a couple of people who have had a final and complete break in their marital relationship.
A recent California decision in July of 2015 called Marriage of Davis may have made a significant impact on the importance of physical separation when it comes to determining whether earnings and accumulations of a spouse while spouses live together is separate property (even if it is arguably after a date one spouse claims was the "date of separation" but the other may disagree) or whether it is community because the spouses continued to live together. The Supreme Court of California stated:
Family Code section 760 provides that all property acquired by the spouses during the marriage is community property [e]xcept as otherwise provided by statute. One such statute is Family Code section 771, subdivision (a) (section 771(a)), which provides that [t]he earnings and accumulations of a spouse . . . , while living separate and apart from the other spouse, are the separate property of the spouse. In this case we consider whether a couple may be living separate and apart, for purposes of section 771(a), when they live together in the same home. We conclude the answer is no. The statute requires the spouses to be living in separate residences in order for their earnings and accumulations to be their separate property. Because the Court of Appeal concluded otherwise, we reverse its judgment.
We have not yet determined the long term impact of this decision (and whether or not the legislature will step in and overrule this case) which is why the issue of physical separation has become very important in California when evaluating community versus separate earnings and accumulations. We obviously cannot give legal advice about your specific situation here so your consultation and retention of an experienced family law attorney is important. Nothing in this article or anything written on our website is legal advice.
The facts rule the day on date of separation in a divorce
When the issue of date of separation is litigated, the facts are everything. If the facts show, for example, that the husband and wife continue to eat dinner together at the family home, maintain a mailing address, engage in social events including vacations, and continue to behave consistent with a married couple, no amount of testimony that by the one trying to persuade the Orange County family court he or she intended something different will likely persuade the court. What impact the Marriage of Davis has on the facts remains to be seen.
Can there be more than one date of separation?
Some cases have the unusual facts of a husband and wife who have more than one date of separation and therefore separation period. This happens when a husband and wife separate from each other and meet the factual test for the definition but then reconcile for a period of time, only to separate again. These types of cases are especially complicated because the decision that has to be made is whether or not there was only one date of separation, which is typically the last one, or whether or not to was more than one instance of the parties being separated from each other and therefore properties acquired during the various separation periods are or are not separate property.
The date of separation impact on a long versus a short term marriage
When the data of separation in your divorce case can mean the difference between a long-term or short-term marriage in California or whether or not a significant asset or debt is community or separate, care you must taken to ensure you gather all the facts and hire an experienced Orange County family law attorney.
Our law firm is skilled in litigation and we have had great success in prevailing in such date of separation cases even without a formal hearing or a trial. Many of these date of separation cases, once all of the facts are gathered, settle and do not proceed to hearing.
Do you have a family law case with the date of separation an issue? Is it the difference between a long-term marriage and a short one? Don't stress. Hire our experienced law firm to represent you. Contact our family law attorneys for an affordable, initial consultation.

5. Best: Frittata
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
¼ cup diced red bell pepper
1 ½ cups of loosely packed fresh baby spinach
1 whole egg
3 egg whites
2 tbsp crumbled feta
Salt and pepper
Directions: Coat an eight-inch skillet with cooking spray and place on a burner with the heat on high. Add the bell pepper and cook for five minutes, until it's tender. Add the spinach and saute for two minutes; the leaves should wilt, but remain bright green. In a bowl, combine the egg and three egg whites and whisk. Add the feta and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables; reduce heat to medium and cook until the eggs set. Remove from heat. Place a plate, upside down, on top of the skillet and invert, allowing the frittata to transfer to the plate. Spray skillet again and replace the frittata to brown the other side -- about one minute.

Little Game Programming Love [LGPL]
LGPL gamedev build and gun
This has little to do with programming, but appeals to the paranoiac lawyer inside of us.
Jump to content
Right on. I never noticed how misleading the LGPL is. It's all like "you can link this library with commercial apps" but then there's clause 6A.
I like the Zlib/BSD/MIT licenses too. Non-viral open-source with no warranty, that's it. The GNU people say this undermines their movement, but in practice the main reason I contribute patches to existing libs is because I'm using them in commercial projects and I don't want to re-patch every time I upgrade!
Just came across with website and thought you (and anyone else following your journal) would find it useful.
A question on your multiplayer. Why wouldn't the developer be able to ban someone? Can't technically a developer ban someone from multiplayer for whatever reason they feel like? There is no legal obligation to let someone play multiplayer, is there? As long as the ToS was something as simple as "Developer reserves the right to ban whomever it pleases from multiplayer"
If these are the terms of service, you would be able to ban anyone for no reason. But doing that is a liability in itself, as any type of action that could, by any degree, be considered discrimination can bring trouble; a lot more than a Terms of Service that defines rights and wrongs, and gives a real reason when applying suppressive measures.

This is frustrating low on details. Is there somewhere else we can go to learn more about this amplifier technology? Does this technology have a name? That THD rating is drool-inducing. I must know more!!
Benchmark THX Amp Tech Bears Fruit
The Benchmark AHB2 is the first power amplifier to use energy-efficient technology developed by THX. The two-channel amp is rated at 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 170 watts into 4 ohms, or 340 watts into 8 ohms with vanishing low total harmonic distortion of less than 0.00013 percent at 1 kilohertz. "Benchmark is a great partner to roll out THX's patented all-analog amplifier technology," says Laurie Fincham, THX senior VP and audio éminence grise. It uses low-profile components to achieve high-power amplification and, if THX's hopes are fulfilled, may be used in audio/video receivers, TVs, powered speakers, car systems, and handheld devices.

So I am curious if its possible for me to use the
.ToString("C") method to generate a currency value off of my number, but have it display the value combined with a minimum value.
An example, lets say that my number would never ever go above $1,000.00. However, the values that are usually generated are below like this, $0,487.00. I know your probably thinking why would you want to do that. In this situation I don't want the label size to increase or decrease based on the content. Also, I want the numbers to be substituted with 0's if they are not filled in by the actual dollar amount. Any suggestions?

Brand new HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook running extremely slow
Hi, I just got a notebook for christmas and it's slower than my brother's eight year old mac.
Simple programs will intermittently not respond (i.e.My Computer for 30 seconds at a time) and just other indications of sluggishness.
The only thing i have thus far installed is fire fox and have gotten little use out of the computer until now.
With nothing but task manager running I have:
- 80 active processes
- 4% CPU usage
- 27% Physical memory
Here's my system information:
HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook PC
Intel Core i5 CPU M460 @ 2.53GHz 2.53 GHz
4.00 GB RAM (3.80 GB usable)
Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium
Re: Brand new HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook running extremely slow
Hmm, it's looks like a good laptop. Have you done some maintenance, like defrag, registry cleaning etc..? When you buy a computer from HP, there is lots of bloatware installed. I suggest to uninstall all necessary programs a then clean the laptop up. I also recommend to uninstall Norton Antivirus (using the symantec removal tool). It's just a trial version for 3 or 6 months and then you have to buy a full licence. Uninstall it and install free Microsoft Security Essential as an antivirus...

Brand new laptop 750 g HD, 6 G ram, 64 bit with very few programs on it and CONTINUOUSLY stops responding. Sometimes it is more than 6 times per day!
I cannot do anything except force a shut down which isn't good for the system.

btw, these STOP responding issues and VERY SLOW processing started from the beginning.
It is very frustrating to be in the middle of a Word doc or simple Excel spreadsheet and it FREEZES!!!
This morning it FROZE EVERY TIME I moved from one open website to another ... including if I wanted to scroll!
I have 407 g free of 677g
I think I will print off all of these previous comments return this HP laptop, I have lost so much time and productivity with this fits and starts.
Re: Brand new HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook running extremely slow
I bought this laptop about a year ago, my first. Seemed to work fine at the time but didn't really have any benchmark. However, recently, it seemed to just bog down. It takes several minutes to launch some applications. It looks like it is stuck but if left alone, it finally does what asked. I have another HP laptop and there is no question something is different.
I have uninstalled anything I considered extra including Norton. Running MS security essentials. No results on scan. Also ran Malwarebytes - nothing indicated. Then I uninstalled it and am left with just MS security.
It is like there is something running in the background but is quite invisible. Not doing anything 'techy' with any programs.
Has just turned to molases
Re: Brand new HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook running extremely slow
Same problem. I bought mine around September 2011. I figured out mine only does it when it is plugged in. So I charge it at night then leave it unplugged whenever I am on. I have tried adjusting all of the power setting to match; that didnt work. I still cant isolate whatever is causing the issue. I got rid of Norton and all of the extra junk right away after purchase. When I contacted HP support, they just kept telling me to restore the system to an earlier date; which never worked. I love this computer otherwise. I wish HP would help figure this out!

I am using HP Pavilion g4 series and it is working pretty great I have to say (though over 1 year old). Here are some of my experiences with the laptop. Note: I had been through more than a slow speed problem, more seriosly BSOD (blue screen of dealth). But all become history now, hah
For a running slow HP laptop or netbook, on most cases, it is caused by system problems (for example poor system maintanence) rather than hardware issues (for example outdated RAM, HDD etc). So most of my tips below are related with system optimization.
- Tip 1: uninstall those programs taking too much system resources. like "pepe999" said in this post a year ago, there may be some automatic programs installed and running on your HP when you bought the laptop. (yes, I was the case too). Most of those programs are useless and pop-out when your machine starts.
- Tip 2: don't install too many similar apps on your HP. for this point, I suffered a lot for it. About half a year ago, I was testing a few similar applications on my computer, those apps are designed to fulfill almost the same task (I just want to test them). But 2 days after that, the suffering came and my laptop occurred random blue screen, I was scared at that time and kept force reboot. Luckily after removing those apps, the problem never comes again. Oh, thank god!
- Tip 3: manage startups. There may be a lot of programs want to have fun when you start up or reboot your HP, typically if you often install third-party programs. The fact is they are competing, and the result is obvious - slow computer!
- Tip 4: exit all other apps or services when gaming. I am also a PC game player. But usually a great game will take a lot of system resources such as CPU, memory, graphics etc. So be sure to exist all other unneeded apps or services in order to make your game smooth and won't be disturbed.
- Tip 5: do regular disk cleaning or defragment. This helps a lot to make all your system files in order and help prevent bad sectors etc. No matter you are using Windows 7, Vista, XP based HP comptuters, there is such tools equipped within your Windows.
- Tip 6: have a good habit and treat your HP as a baby. This tip is the last and most important one, don't think your HP is just a machine, treat him/her as your boy or girl, then he/she will be healthy.
I also list a couple useful resources (tools & articles) for your reference:
> HP speed up or cleaning tools
> great tips for pc maintaning
Sorry for typing so long, but sincerely hope my answer will do some help to all we HP users
Best regards!

Re: Brand new HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook running extremely slow
Mine is a brand spanking Probook 4540S i5, 12GB RAM (yes that is a 12) 750GB 7200RPM HDD and without any my documents files on it yet it takes 3.5 minutes from pushing the on button to be ready to use. Disk cleanup? It says there is nothing to clean up (it is new after all). Defrag? Again it is new and the system files, Office 2010, etc take up very little space; but I thought I would analyse it anyway just in case. It took nearly 6 minutes to analyse 70GB and said it was only 5% fragmented no need to do anything.
This replaces a HP 8710P Centrino with 4GB RAM and a 250GB 5400rpm HDD. It still has everything on it plus all the data files in my documents and photos in my pictures, etc. From pushing the on button it too 1 minute 2 seconds to be ready to use.
Something is clearly wrong when the old "clunkers" outperform the new models.
Lots of people say these machine come bloated but unfortunately no one says what cannot be removed and what is bloat.

Retired Adm. Jerome Johnson and three other retired officers, all founding members of the Flag and General Officers for the Military, recently wrote an op-ed. Their piece, about the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, appeared in the Washington Post.
President Obama has pledged to repeal Section 654 of U.S. Code title 10. Johnson believes doing so would do "grave harm" to the U.S.'s all-volunteer force.
