| Rounds
Cloystered (Japanese: VS パルシェン VS Parshen) is the 45th round of the Pokémon Adventures manga.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Trapped in a cave with Pika and its mysterious caretaker, Bill barely escapes a crushing blow delivered by Lorelei, who has identified their location. Determining the delivered Spike Cannon attack to be abnormally strong, the straw hat boy has Pika go into a Poké Ball at the end of his fishing rod, before sending Pika out of its Poké Ball to spy on Lorelei. As Pika watches, Lorelei is revealed to have both Dewgong and Cloyster for large spikes to siege them in, but the reconnaissance is noticed by Lorelei, and Pika is barely reeled back in time. In the cave, the boy reads Pika's thoughts, revealing to Bill his power to sense the thoughts of Pokémon.
Waiting outside the cave, Lorelei spots a Poké Ball rolling out, and thinking it to be Pika she has her Pokémon destroy it. To her surprise, Dody bursts out of the cave with everyone in tow, including Pika - revealing the second Poké Ball to be nothing but an empty decoy. Charging at Lorelei, the boy orders a ThunderShock from Pika, who attacks Cloyster as it uses Withdraw; the attack breaks off Cloyster's main spike, thereby ruining the combination of the two Ice-types. Lorelei demands an explanation from the boy how he knew about her combination, but even as she has Dewgong attack the group the boy beats a hasty retreat.
Riding on Dody, Bill is surprised at the boy's retreat. The boy declares them to be no match for Lorelei, but Bill notes to himself that the boy seemed to know all along that Cloyster wouldn't be hurt badly by Pika's attack - the boy doesn't even want to see his enemy hurt, it seems. As he realizes just how complex the character of his savior is, Lorelei chases the boy for his name, and the boy answers: Yellow of the Viridian Forest. Elsewhere, a familiar figure listens in on the conversation by means of her Jiggly and a satellite dish, wincing at Yellow's breaking of her instructions of secrecy.
Using its ice powers, Dewgong creates a rink of ice to chase after Yellow's group, surprising Bill with its speed on land. With nowhere to go Yellow is forced to direct Dody into the river, where Lorelei easily catches up with them. Releasing her Cloyster as the group is caught in a wave, Lorelei freezes the wave before subduing Yellow and the others with Supersonic, trapping them. As Yellow lowers his fishing rod, Lorelei draws near, accusing Yellow of possessing the ability to read Pokémon's minds, and correctly guesses that while Yellow has said power, it isn't developed enough to see into Pika's memories. Just as Lorelei is about to finish the group off, the chunk of ice holding Yellow and the others falls into the river, having broken by means of a Hyper Fang delivered by Yellow's Ratty. Lorelei's attempt at a chase, however, is disrupted by a shadowed girl and her Horsea, and in the moment Lorelei turns to see who it is, Yellow's group escapes down the river.
As he paddles away, Bill notes with surprise at having escaped with a Rattata's help, explained by Yellow to be his first Pokémon and friend. Bill attempts an introduction, but Yellow stupefies him by falling asleep once more.
Meanwhile, at the Indigo Plateau, Agatha converses with Lorelei; the latter berating herself for letting her guard down, and reporting about Yellow and his (albeit undeveloped) powers. Declaring the possibility of Yellow reading Pika's memories of Red's encounter with Bruno to be too dangerous a possibility to allow, Lorelei indicates that now, they're not just after Pika, but Yellow as well.
Major events
- The Elite Four learn of Yellow's powers and make her their target as well as Pika.
|Spoilers end here.
- Pikachu (Pika; Red's)
- Jigglypuff (Jiggly; Green's)
- Horsea (Green's; silhouette)

- Doduo (Dody; Yellow's)
- Cloyster (Lorelei's)

- This round is included in The Best of Pokémon Adventures: Yellow.
- The English title of this round is a play on the word "clustered."
- In the original VIZ Media translation, this round was split into two shorter chapters: Cloystered and Raging Rattata. This chapter arrangement remains present in the "Best of Pokémon Adventures" compilation volume, but in the 2009 second edition it is presented as only one round entitled Cloystered.
- Yellow's full name is revealed: Amarillo Del Bosque Verde.
- Yellow makes a comment referencing the Japanese name of the franchise. "Once they're in their balls, Pokémon are small enough t' go in your pocket. You might almost call 'em Pocket M--".
- This joke is missed in the second edition, however, and Yellow only says "You might almost call 'em Poké--".

|Sci-fi first-person shooter: Halo 4
|So far, so good - 343 Industries seems to love Halo as much as fans do.
|Games Info:
|Developer: 343 Industries; Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
|Not yet rated
|Xbox 360
|Test Platform:
|Xbox 360
Wake up, Chief. We need you.
We've spent four years without a word from Master Chief - not that he said a whole lot to begin with - but the franchise's new keepers, 343 Industries, are just about done working on Halo 4.
The series' creators, Bungie, let go of the reins after producing Halo: Reach, a prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved. Fans were initially concerned that 343 wouldn't 'get' Chief and the Halo universe. Since then, 343 has produced map packs for Reach, as well as an HD remake for Combat Evolved. But if you're still not convinced that the developer's got it under control, just wait until you get your first taste of Halo 4.
I played a couple of campaign levels, and a bit of competitive multiplayer (the game mode is called War Games) and some co-op missions (Spartan Ops). Full disclosure: I'm a huge fan of the series as a whole. But I could have so easily been disappointed - I was also a huge Final Fantasy fan, and look what happened to that. But what I saw of Halo 4 was far from disappointing.
In the campaign, Master Chief is a lot more talkative this time around. Long-time fans of the franchise may be shocked to hear that Chief uttered several sentences before killing anything. It seemed to be a reflection of his relationship with his friend the artificial intelligence, Cortana.
Cortana is nearing the end of her lifespan - AI in the Halo universe lives to around seven, and she's eight. Chief seems genuinely concerned about her as she spirals into something called 'rampancy', which presents in a similar way to human dementia. But Master Chief and Cortana have a new threat to face and the AI's descent into illness adds a sense of impending doom.
Promethean enemies
In the first level we played, Chief and Cortana make their way around a planet, called Requiem, inhabited by the new enemies, the Prometheans. Like the Covenant, there are several different types of Promethean enemies, but they seem even less human than the Covenant did.
Crawlers are more like wall-walking attack dogs than sentient creatures. They climb up cliffs and jump long distances to reach you. When I first faced a couple, I just popped them in the face with my pistol and then wondered whether I should up the difficulty. However, when these fiery little creatures attack in swarms, you quickly learn how to run away. You also have to watch your back: they can leap in behind you when you're not looking and it can be hard to tell that you're surrounded. The radar seems to make it a little less obvious and an enemy's red marker will quickly fade if they're not moving.
You'll also find the 'knights' among the ranks of the Prometheans. They're tougher enemies - probably equivalent in difficulty and frequency to Covenant Elites, if not a bit harder. On their own, knights require quite a few bullets but are otherwise not so hard to beat. But they're often accompanied by watchers, who heal and shield them. If that's not enough, both knights and watchers are very good at quickly moving into cover when hurt. It took practice before I was able to effectively dispatch both enemies.
New weapons and improvements to existing gear
With new enemies comes new weaponry - and what weaponry it is. The Promethean guns have an added effect that makes dead enemies essentially burn up into ash, leaving only their guns behind. Many of the guns are similar to existing weaponry, such as the shotgun-equivalent Scattershot, but that doesn't mean they feel the same - one-shotting your enemy into oblivion makes you feel ultra-badass.
In my preview, I most commonly encountered the Promethean Suppressor and Boltshot. The Suppressor is an automatic weapon that fires bolts of something called 'hardlight', which in practice looks a lot like bolts of fire or, well, light. There's a lot of bloom with the Suppressor, so it's not ideal for headshotting enemies, but it is good for the ol' spray-and-pray technique. The Boltshot is similar to the Magnum pistol, and can be fired as rapidly as you can pull the trigger.
You can pick up and play with all of these weapons - you'll have to, because ammo for Master Chief's standard weapons is pretty scarce when he's on a Forerunner planet. But you can also play with the weapons you know and love, and they feel new again. A lot of that is to do with the audio and controller vibration, but some of the less powerful weapons from previous games - like the pink spike shooting Needler - appear to have had a major upgrade.
During the campaign segment, we only really had a chance to try out one new armour ability, the hardlight shield. While the ability is active, Master Chief holds up a shield made of hardlight as if it were a riot shield, but he can't use any weapons. If you're red-lining, you can pop it up to give you time to get into cover, or you can use it to ward off sniper shots when you know they're coming.
Combo move
Things get really interesting when you run into both the Prometheans and Covenant forces together. The battlefield suddenly goes from one vs. many to one vs. many vs. many.
When I first walked into an area where there were both Covenant and Promethean armies, I stood back and watched them fight amongst each other for some time before I stepped in to clean up the remainder. But you can also charge in and kill them all while they're distracted fighting each other. It might sound as though these three-on-three battles make the game easier, but they don't - when you first encounter the two forces together, that's when the game starts to get difficult.
Beyond the campaign
The focus of Halo 4 is very much on story, and on working that story into all elements of the game.
That becomes especially clear when you play Spartan Ops. In Spartan Ops, you create and customise your own Spartan character, who is then sent on various missions. Each week, a new set of five missions - known as chapters - will be released, and when put together those missions tell another piece of the Halo story.
During the preview session, I played through a vehicle-based mission that involved speeding around in Warthogs, Wraiths and Ghosts, working as a team to take out enemies infiltrating an area. In another mission, I had to fight my way through an area with a not-insignificant number of sword-carrying Elites, trying to avoid getting sliced into stir-fry sized pieces.
Spartan Ops is co-op for up to four players, but at the end of a mission, your kills and deaths are tallied up and you're ranked to provide a competitive element.
Of course, the real competition comes when you play War Games. I played a game of Team Slayer on a remade Valhalla, which many Halo fans will be familiar with. This time, however, there's an unfamiliar twist: mechs placed at each end of the map. Mechs are incredibly powerful, and I made the mistake of picking up a rocket launcher early in the game but expending all my ammo, leaving me nothing to use against the Spartans in giant walking robot suits. Without some kind of vehicle or power weapon, mechs are virtually impossible to take down - it requires serious flanking and teamwork. When setting up to play online multiplayer, you can choose loadouts that include the Promethean weapons, and I wanted more time with the new guns so I was playing with the Boltshot and Suppressor. With the mechs in play, however, I quickly regretted not setting up a loadout that included a plasma pistol.
The remarkable thing about all of the game modes was the polish. Everything - graphics, art, audio, script - has been preened and cleaned, then tweaked and tested.
Halo 4 is the game you know and love, made new. I walked into the preview room excited but uncertain, and walked out wondering whether I could wait until 6 November without suffering from a little rampancy myself.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Get The Facts
Air Passenger Duty (APD) is the UK Government tax that is charged on all passengers departing from a UK airport. Some things you might not know about APD:
- Introduced in 1994, it was originally just £5 per person for short-haul flights, and £10 elsewhere.
- Successive governments have increased APD, so that passengers now pay up to £73 on long-haul flights.
- PwC has published research which found that significantly reducing or abolishing APD would result in a significant increase in the UK's Gross Domestic Product and would result in the creation of tens of thousands of new jobs. It also found that reducing or abolishing APD would actually increase the revenues to the Treasury from other taxes so much that it would pay for itself – increasing the money flowing into the Exchequer.
- The vast majority of European countries do not levy an air departure tax.
- Just six EU countries levy a similar tax, but with substantially lower rates.
- Since it was introduced in the 1993 Budget, the cost of Air Passenger Duty per flight has risen by up to 539%.
- The UK is ranked 137th out of 138 when it comes to air ticket taxes and charges according to the 2015 World Economic Forum's Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report. Only Chad ranks lower than the UK.
- A report by the Centre for Economics and Business Research shows the annual contribution to the UK economy of the leisure aviation industry is £14.1bn.
Scotland and Air Passenger Duty
- Following the Smith Commission's report (2014), the Scottish Government has announced plans to reduce APD on flights leaving Scottish airports by 50%.
- A Fair Tax on Flying welcome the Scottish Government's recognition that APD is an uncompetitive and damaging tax.
- However, Government modelling has shown that any reduction of APD in Scotland would have a detrimental impact on airports and other travel businesses in other parts of the UK, and distort the highly competitive aviation and tourism market place.
- We therefore urge the UK Government to act before disparate APD rates affect the economy of the whole of the UK: a cut in APD in Scotland should be matched by the same cut across the rest of the UK, so that no part of the country is disadvantaged in any way.
Unlike other modes of public transport in the UK, aviation doesn't have to pay fuel duty. Doesn't this put aviation at a competitive advantage?
The aviation industry doesn't enjoy the benefits that many other public modes of transport do, particularly in the form of subsidies. In 2012/13, for example, the rail industry was subsidised by over £5bn a year. What's more, bus and coach companies' subsidies amounted to £2.19bn in the same year. Bus operators also receive a range of other subsidies and grants that reduce their operational costs. If we look at the ferry industry, they are also exempt from fuel duty, but pay no passenger duty of any sort. APD simply adds to the cost of flying compared to other forms of transport.
You say that APD is bad for families, bad for jobs and bad for growth, and that's why countries such as Holland and Denmark have scrapped their tax. Yet there are some other European countries that still levy their own air passenger taxes.
Only four other European countries levy a comparable tax (Austria, France, Germany, and Italy), none of which comes close to the cost of APD (although please note that PwC analysis includes Greece, Sweden and Belgium as countries who levy a departure tax – as their definition differs from ours). At the start of 2013 Germany froze its air passenger tax after the German federal Government published a study on the economic effects of the tax, concluding that two million passengers didn't travel in 2011 due to the higher air fares.
Air travel is a contributor to the UK's greenhouse gas emissions, so isn't APD one way for the aviation industry to pay for its environmental footprint?
The industry is far from complacent about the environmental impact of aviation and is continually implementing ways to improve operational efficiencies and aircraft and engine technology to limit its carbon footprint. However, aviation's contribution to global carbon emissions should be put in context. If we grounded every UK flight it would cut global man-made CO2 emissions by 0.1%. All UK domestic and international aviation accounts for around 6% of UK CO2 emissions compared to 31.1% from power stations and 21.6% from road transport. What's more, APD is not an environmental tax – something the Government has now made clear. Indeed, our high APD rates have the effect that inevitably some people are incentivized into taking connecting flights via European airports such as Amsterdam's Schiphol to avoid APD rather than fly direct – and this actually results in more emissions.
APD is payable only on departure from a UK airport and so the basic Band A rate of £13 is for a round trip to an overseas destination.
APD is however payable on both legs of a domestic round trip within the UK and the £13 figure is for economy flights only. Standard class flights are £26 per trip out of the UK. What's more, we have estimated that a typical family will pay more than £120 in APD each year, with many paying considerably more.
Whilst it is true that passengers can end up paying £194 on some flights, this is the very top rate of APD and applies only to first class and business class passengers on long-haul flights to countries whose capital city is more than 6,000 miles from London.
This is incorrect. This top rate of 'standard' APD also applies to premium economy and other varieties of ticket where the passenger is given increased leg-room. A more accurate description of the standard rate would be anything other than the most basic economy class seat. Although, it is also worth pointing out that the planned reform of APD, which will take effect from April 2015 onwards will mean that the highest APD levied on a long-haul fare will be £71. We have welcomed this change, but would still like to see the Government go further, both in terms of reforming APD on long and short-haul flights.
Regarding the alleged negative impacts on the UK economy of the annual increases in APD, isn't it better for UK resident to holiday domestically rather than going overseas, as it keeps the money in the UK?
A reduction in outbound tourism is not a benefit. Inbound and outbound tourism both benefit the UK. A reduction in any type of tourism harms the UK economy, and causes the country to miss out on its share of billions of pounds spent by foreign tourists yearly. This is highlighted by UK failures to capitalise on the increase in Chinese tourism post-London 2012. What's more, research undertaken by ABTA – the Travel Association in 2013 found that the UK's outbound sector directly accounts for 1.6% of UK GDP, with a total economic impact of 3.8% of GDP. It also creates 50 per cent more jobs than the real estate sector and more than two times as many jobs as in the energy and utility sectors combined, bringing in over £6 billion in taxes to HM Treasury.
Those in the aviation industry who are pressing the Government for APD to be reduced further should explain how they would propose to make up the revenue shortfall to the Exchequer. Should we sack some more policemen, teachers or nurses? Should we cut pensions or welfare benefits? Or should we raise VAT and/or extend its scope?
No. Firstly, the Government's recent announcement that they plan to reform APD shows that they recognise the economic value of reducing APD. What's more, the PwC report (using dynamic modelling) found that any APD cut would actually pay for itself, due to increased revenue generated by the economic growth stimulated by the APD reduction.

View of the sea
Our hostess was not especially friendly. We got the feeling we were disturbing her.
The owner was so friendly and welcoming even though we arrived quite late. He insisted on making us tea and got us delicious treats to go with it. Fresh eggs from his own chickens for breakfast! Very clean and relaxing place to stay!
It was a little difficult to find. Our GPS didn't have the roads all the way out there. It was worth it, once we found it!
Hotel Employee was so helpful! The food was terrific, the bed comfortable, everything clean.
Delightful staff, gorgeous views, extremely comfortable and clean.
a lovely host and a tasty breakfast!

A Woodland Wonderland: Trout Point Nova Scotia
April 23, 2012
By: Christopher Roney
I have a particular soft spot for hotel lodges. Maybe it's my Appalachian heritage or my simple love for all things naturey, but there's a certain charm to a hotel that has but 8 rooms and whose greatest attractions are the wonders that surround it. Traveling there, you feel a natural heartbeat that's stronger and more primal than a city's. For a brief while, you're a part of an ecosystem rather than a society, and that's a wonderful feeling.
The Trout Point Lodge, by virtue of being located in the incredibly diverse region of Nova Scotia, manages to straddle two of these ecosystems, giving you the opportunity to explore both the natural woodland and the nearby sea. Whale watching, sea kayaking, and trails aplenty will greet you upon arrival. In East Kemptville, which is preferable to its far less tidy neighbor, West Scruffytown, you can enjoy the maritime cuisine that the region is famous for. The fresh seafood at Trout Point rivals that found anywhere in the world. Stay in one of their Fireplace Junior Suites to make use of a handcrafted granite fireplace and outdoor porch overlooking the nearby river. The Trout Point Lodge is the wilderness escape we're all dreaming of while stuck at our desks on a lovely spring afternoon.

The Miraval Arizona Resort and Spa is already a wonderful location for a southwestern retreat. In the rugged heart of Arizona, Miraval is the perfect combination of luxury with the outdoors. The Catalina mountains are the perfect backdrop to horseback riding trip through the Sonoran desert.

Four outdoor pools, one reserved specifically for Aqua Zen treatments, are the perfect place to wash away the heat of the desert sun. I have a soft spot for the hard things in life, and there's something about the Miraval Resort and Spa that makes you feel alive. It might be the mixture of adventure and relaxation or the exotic desert beauty, I'm not really sure. But the feeling of vitality is there in every activity, and it's a glorious feeling indeed.
Not only that, the Miraval is unveiling a new spa in the month of May that will be a wonderful upgrade to the already amazing options, and they're also unveiling new villas on the property. The Miraval Arizona Resort & Spa was already on our radar, but now the blip is growing brighter and beeping faster and faster and, oh my, it's coming right for us! Take evasive action!

Sustained Joy: Thanyamundra Organic Resort
March 21, 2012
By: Christopher Roney
I'm an unashamed environmentalist. I like not being baked like a biscuit by the sun and also not having hurricanes all up on the Gulf stream. So when I hear about a resort that takes natural sustainability and turns it into a luxury activity for rejuvenating the mind, body and soul, it's the perfect hotel for me. I knew there was a solution to how I could both have nice things and support a growing organic movement, and that solution is the Thanyamundra Organic Resort. It's the quintessential quiet retreat on an organic farm in Suratthani, Thailand, and the views of the rice paddies and fruit groves are breathtaking and reinvigorating. With just 7 suites and 2 rooms on the property, you're guaranteed to have a secluded, tailored experience that takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the urban lifestyle. We could all use a few more private moments in our lives, and this is five-star luxury that makes you proud. I love the concept, and I love the execution of the Thanyamundra Organic Resort.

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
Publishing | DC Comics' Vertigo imprint is the first comics company to use the Wattpad "social reading app," where writers and publishers can share their work with potential readers around the world. Survivors' Club writers Lauren Beukes and Dale Halvorsen are starting things off with a list of their favorite horror movies, and Gail Simone and Holly Black are expected to check in as well. [TechCrunch]
Conventions | Journalist Tom Spurgeon and Bone creator Jeff Smith, co-organizers of Cartoon Crossroads Columbus, discuss their concept for a truly comics-focused festival. "We're almost at the point where we're treating comics as a weigh station before you make your money or impact," Spurgeon says. "Comics are solely what we do and it's solely where our efforts go. We want this to be important. We want to celebrate older cartoonists who may have fallen out favor. We want to celebrate the anniversaries of great comics. It's solely comics-focused." [Paste]
"I write for my partners. I write with them and to them. I seek collaborators and co-conspirators rather than employees. I share ownership of the books I do (Hawkeye obviously an exception) with the artists for whom I write as a rule. They make more than me, too, as a rule, and they earn it. Comics are a visual medium; to quote Mark Twain, 'Thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the job.'
It is a high-class problem at all that anyone wants to write critically about a book I write and I understand that, but I find it fatuous at best and disingenuous at worst when any book I write gets referred to as 'mine.' These comics result from the work of 'us.' One may as well write a restaurant review without referring to the actual taste of a meal, or a piece of music solely by its duration.
Writer Matt Fraction appeared last night on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers, where he offered sex advice from Just the Tips, the book he co-authored with his Sex Criminals collaborator Chip Zdarsky, and discussed the inspiration behind his run on Marvel's Hawkeye.
"The book was really about what Hawkeye does when he goes home to do his laundry," Fraction explained. "It's like Hawkeye on his day off. To me he's the human heart and soul of the Avengers, so it was fun to do a book like that about somebody who compulsively can't stop helping people, even when he's a human crap-sack tire fire of a human being. That's on the back of the action figure: 'human crap-sack.'"
Matt Fraction, writer of Sex Criminals, Casanova, Satellite Sam and ODY-C, will be a guest Thursday, May 21, on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers.
"Like, a guest-guest," he wrote in the latest DeConnick & Fraction newsletter. "Like, on the show. […] I have a really cool treat cooked up for the show, so — so yeah. Tune in! DVR that shit! Do whatever millennials do now, I don't even …"
Fans of Hawkeye by Matt Fraction, David Aja & Co. at long last can get that figure they've been longing for: Pizza Dog. OK, sure, Hawkguy's included, but … Pizza Dog!
Apparently, this Marvel Select Avenging Hawkeye figuring has been cropping up in Disney Stores, but now it's available for order online from the Marvel Shop. Fully poseable, the 7-inch figure features "his classic black costume," a bow, six arrows, a gun, interchangeable left hand, and two interchangeable heads (one with sunglasses, the other with a bandaged nose, of course).
Comics are art, and sometimes art is comics. The print collective Secret Panel, which ROBOT 6 wrote about last fall, has released two new limited-edition prints by Becky Cloonan and Matt Taylor focusing on Sex Criminals, the acclaimed Image Comics series by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky (now being developed for television).
This is the fourth release for Secret Panel since its launch in October, following prints based on Nameless, Hotline Miami and Revival. Here are Taylor and Cloonan's prints, the latter of which isn't exactly safe for work:
Writer Matt Fraction is no stranger to mixing a little bit of social activism into his comics work. But this weekend, the Hawkeye and Sex Criminals scribe is drawing attention to a charity not because of art he made but because of art he detests: Fifty Shades of Grey.
The international best-selling romance novel and its just opened film adaptation could charitably be described as having a complicated relationship with sexual violence. Or as Fraction put it on his blog, "So there's a movie out this weekend based on books that romanticize, fetishize, glamorize and normalize abusive relationships…And while sex is great and finding someone into all the stuff you're into is great, sex is not consent to violence, a relationship is not permission to abuse, and there are thousands of women and children who have to deal with that fundamental and erroneous misconstruing of truth and wild misinterpretation of love every day."
In response to the fact that the film's earning millions made him feel "a little sick to think about," Fraction is planning on matching donations to the Futures Without Violence charity generated by the sale of Hawkeye merchandise on WeLoveFine.com between now and Monday. The proceeds of past t-shirt and messenger bag sales exceeded $2,000 for the charity that works to end violence against women. But if you didn't get a chance to buy a "Hawkguy" product then (or are just grossed out by the Fifty Shades phenomenon), now is your chance to make your contribution count for double.
Conventions | At a press conference Thursday to kick off FanXperience, the Salt Lake Comic Con spinoff event, Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker declared Jan. 29, 2015, as "Salt Lake Comic Con's Day of Heroes." Organizers, who have capped ticket sales for the second annual event at 70,000, say they expect a sellout. The Deseret News also looks at the origins of Salt Lake Comic Con in a profile of founders Dan Farr and Bryan Brandenburg, who were introduced to comic conventions not as fans but as entrepreneurs. FanX continues through Sunday. [KSL.com]
Festivals | Reporter Alex Turnbull files a video report from the Angoulême International Comics Festival that includes segments on the tributes to the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, the Belgian cartoonist Hermann, and a 24-hour comics challenge. [France 24]
Hawkeye merch has been available at the WeLoveFine online store for quite some time — but did you know proceeds were going to an anti-violence charity? Kelly Sue DeConnick announced via Twitter that the Hawkeye-themed merch had raised $2,068.39, which has been donated to Futures Without Violence, which seeks to end violence against women and children worldwide.
Museums | The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., has added comics to its permanent collection for the first time. Abigail and William Gerdts donated 176 comics, including Zap Comix and Arcade: The Comics Revue. Judith Brodie, curator of modern prints and drawings, cited the influence of comics on artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein: "They were all drawing their inspiration from cartoons and comic books. It seems totally logical that we'd want a representation of those." [The Washington Post]
Passings | Greek cartoonist Ilias Skoulas died passed away Thursday at age 87. Skoulas began his career as an editorial cartoonist at the age of 32, and his work was published in numerous Greek newspapers and magazines, as well as 13 books. [Greek Reporter]
Brian Michael Bendis shared some terrific photos from a weekend get-together at the Portland, Oregon, home of Matt Fraction and Kelly Sue DeConnick, where such artists as Matt Wagner, Skottie Young, Tony Moore and Matthew Clarke drew on the hallway wall. DeConnick provides a link to the "completely interactive" wallpaper, whose pattern features frames of different sizes and styles — ideal for one-of-a-kind sketches.
Check out a couple of the images below, and more on Bendis' blog.
Hawkeye #19 featured the Marvel hero during his period of hearing loss, which writer Matt Fraction and artist David Aja used as an opportunity to tell a story through American Sign Language. The issue's title page included the dedication "For Leah," and as it turns out, "Leah" is 17-year-old Utah resident Leah Coleman, KSL.com reports.
Her mother Rachel Coleman worked with Fraction on the issue. The two met through a concert held by Rachel Coleman's Signing Time television series in 2012, when Fraction related how much he loved ASL due to its visual nature. He later contacted her for assistance in bringing ASL to Hawkeye #19.
As a part of its Mighty Fine Partners program with writer Matt Fraction, WeLoveFine.com is selling a new T-shirt inspired by Hawkeye #19 featuring, naturally, sign language.
"The new design is entitled 'H Signs,' and it is inspired by the plot of the latest issue of Fraction and David Aja's critically acclaimed Hawkeye series," wrote WeLoveFine's Nicole Campos. "Each shirt is $25. In keeping with the sign language theme of the issue, Matt will be donating his curation commission for this particular style to the Signing Time Foundation, a charity whose efforts are dedicated toward making sign language fun and accessible to deaf children around the world."
The shirt is available in both men's and women's styles, and comes in three different colors.
[Editor's note: Each Sunday, Robot 6 contributors discuss the best in comics from the last seven days — from news and announcements to a great comic that came out to something cool creators or fans have done.]
I think by now we can all agree that diversity in comics is a great thing. Not only does it welcome in people who might feel ostracized by convention and provide a positive reflection of themselves in the pages of a comic, but it teaches readers and challenges us to go beyond comfort zones and understand the world around us.
Legal | Attorney Tom Goldstein, co-founder of the respected SCOTUSblog, has joined with Marc Toberoff to represent the heirs of Jack Kirby in their appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court of the Second Circuit's affirmation that the artist's contributions to Marvel between 1958 and 1963 were work for hire and therefore not subject to copyright termination. In a response filed this week to Marvel's brief urging the high court to decline review, Goldstein and Toberoff again challenge the Second Circuit's "instance and expense" test and its definition of "employer," and argue, "Many of our most celebrated literary and musical works were created before 1978 and signed away to publishers in un-remunerative transactions. Termination rights were 'needed because of the unequal bargaining position of authors.' It would be hard to find a better example of this than the prolific Jack Kirby, who worked in his basement with no contract, no financial security and no employment benefits, but without whom Marvel might not even be in business today." [Hollyqood, Esq.]
Retailing | Memo to politicians: You don't win friends and influence people by taking up five spots in a comic store's parking lot with your campaign bus on a Wednesday — especially when it's Batman Day. [The Clarion-Ledger]

It is hard to believe, but the Tahirih Justice Center (Tahirih) is now 15 years old! We hope you'll take a moment to view our 15th Anniversary Video and celebrate with us.
Over the past decade and a half, we have been privileged to help over 14,000 immigrant women and girls receive legal protection, rebuild their lives, and restore their dignity. It is because of you - an incredible community of donors, pro bono attorneys, and non-profit partners - that we are able to engage in high-impact public policy advocacy and direct legal services on behalf of women fleeing violence.
Your support breathes the life into our mission. With your help, since opening our doors in 1997, we:
On legislative fronts, Tahirih has engaged with lawmakers in targeted public policy initiatives designed to enact new laws and strengthen existing ones to safeguard and protect women and girls fleeing violence. We brought attention to formerly hidden injustices – from the way that "mail-order bride" agencies operate to the significant, but often unnoticed, number of forced marriages that occur in the United States.
While we look back with pride at our 15 years of accomplishments, we look forward with apprehension at the looming challenge ahead to do more to serve courageous women and girls seeking justice and to make a greater impact on the laws and policy affecting their well-being. In spite of the laws that have been developed and the demands of women around the world for justice, violence against women is a profound and persistent global reality. For women aged between 15 and 44, this violence results in more deaths and disability than cancer, malaria, traffic accidents and war. Around the world, at least one woman in every three has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. Some courageous women escape their circumstances and demand justice. It is these women that Tahirih is honored to serve.
Our next challenge is to grow nationally to serve more women and girls in the years ahead. To that end, we have opened offices in Houston, Texas, and in Baltimore, Maryland, in addition to the Washington, DC area. With your support we can grow further and serve more!
Please watch our 15th Anniversary Video to see Tahirih's growth and celebrate with us. None of these victories would be possible without your support!
Thank you for all you do to promote justice for women and girls!

The perfect Bible is a Bible that combines the right materials (it looks right) and the right translation. I tried the ESV. Ok leather, ok translation. I tried the NASB. Below average leather, not an easy translation. NLT? Nice leather, too soft a translation. The NIV is the best translation (sorry all you nitpickers out there) but Zondervan always made it with something called "bonded leather." Until now. FINALLY they have a NIV with a leather cover. And not just any leather. It is as soft and subtle as they come. None better. And I should know, because I own all the others. And the print size is just right. Not too small, not too big. Just perfect. I have the Bible that I will use for the rest of my life. I give it 5 stars because 6 stars is not an option. I don't normally review products, but I could not wait to share my thoughts with those of you out there that have been searching like I have.

Harissa-Rubbed Steak & Carrot Salad
Here we pair harissa-rubbed grilled steak with tangy North African-spiced carrots. Serve with whole-wheat couscous.Yield: 4 servings
Active Time: 35
Total Time: 35
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 3 cups thinly sliced carrots (about 1 pound)
- 1-1 1/4 pounds skirt steak (see Note), trimmed and cut into 4 portions
- 4 teaspoons harissa (see Notes)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
- Preheat grill to medium-high. (No grill? See Broiler Variation.)
- Whisk lemon juice, oil, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a microwave-safe medium bowl. Add carrots; stir to coat. Cover and microwave on High until the carrots are tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Uncover. (Alternatively, steam carrots over 1 inch of boiling water in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket until tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss the carrots with the spice mixture.)
- Rub both sides of steak with harissa and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Grill the steak 1 1/2 to 3 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to a clean cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice across the grain. Serve with the spiced carrots, garnished with parsley (or cilantro), if desired.
Tips & Notes
- Note: Depending on your region, skirt steak may not be something your supermarket regularly carries—call ahead to make sure it's available or ask your butcher to order it for you. It's usually sold in about 1-pound cuts up to 18 inches long and 5 inches wide, but just 1/4 inch thick. Before cooking, cut the steak with the grain into several portions to make the long piece more manageable on the grill or in a skillet. Once cooked, be sure to slice it across the grain for maximum tenderness. Hanger steak, flat-iron and flank steak can all be used as substitutes for skirt steak in most recipes.
- Harissa is a fiery Tunisian chile paste commonly used in North African cooking. Find it at specialty-food stores, mustaphas.com or amazon.com. Different brands of harissa vary in heat, so taste it and add accordingly.
- Broiler Variation: Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Coat a broiler pan or large baking sheet with cooking spray. Broil steak on the prepared pan, turning once, 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium.
- Easy cleanup: Recipes that require cooking spray can leave behind a sticky residue that can be hard to clean. To save time and keep your baking sheet looking fresh, line it with a layer of foil before you apply the cooking spray.

Thursday the Vieux Carré Commission will take up a City Council ordinance that proposes limiting vehicle sizes on Decatur Street in the French Quarter.
Infrastructure Committee Chair Gail Cavett will present the ordinance.
The meeting starts at 1:30 this afternoon in the City Council Chambers at City Hall.
