Released: Apr 15th, 2008
Running Time: 144 Min.
Director: Mike Quasar
Company: Zero Tolerance Entertainment
Cast: Diana Doll, Tommy Gunn, James Deen, Trent Soluri, Sasha Grey, Sarah Wild, Eva Angelina, Mick Blue, Brianna Love, Malezia
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
Solid one-on-one action mimics the title with strip teasing, screwing and action that flirts with lap dancing. These young couples are filled with what appears to be boundless energy.
Take Malezia and James Deen for example: Deen pounds away on her from behind with sufficient force and tempo that only youthful studs in the industry can accomplish without follow-up Chiropractic treatment. And you can't go wrong with babes like Sasha Grey and her incredible thoroughbred rump.
Overall, everyone shines and this occasionally POV release has no weak links or slackers.
Retailing: Multitude of categorizing: couples, gonzo, WTW and some POV.

The community of Maspeth was settled in 1642 by the Reverend Francis Doughty and has the distinction of being the first organized settlement in Queens history. First named Mespat after the Mespaechtes Indians who inhabited land at the head of the Newtown Creek, the region's original name meant 'bad water place.' In 1643, the area was besieged by surrounding Indian tribes and destroyed. It was abandoned soon after, only to become resettled with the establishment of Middleburg (Newtown) in 1652.
With the development of roads in the 18th century, Maspeth emerged as an industrial and commercial district; residents labored in a variety of industries and trades, which included firefighting, truck driving, sanitation work, and shop keeping. Initially, the ethnic profile of the community featured peoples of a broad European ancestry; the Polish, Italian, Irish, and German communities numbered among the largest of these and provided a diverse workforce for the burgeoning area.
On July 27, 1911, library service in Maspeth began. Following nearly seven decades and a number of relocations, the Maspeth Branch library found a permanent site for operations in 1975, and remains there today. An ever-changing community, Maspeth continues to expand with the arrival of Hispanic, Indian, and Asian communities. Subsequently, the responsibilities and services of the library have expanded to meet the unique challenges of the Maspeth community and its citizens.

I've still be going but it is really hard for me too. I get there and nothing sounds good, except for things like crackers and cereal, it's a struggle to make it through the store. Then during the week I'm hungry but there is nothing to eat at our house since I couldn't stand to buy anything! What a mess!!! Hopefully things will get better after this trimester1

you poor gals! No ms here but I'm cut off from doing the grocery shopping. We've always heard, don't go grocery shopping if you're hungry... well I'm ALWAYS hungry and everything sounds good! So I end up spending hundreds (and I do mean hundreds) of dollars on groceries. So now I just have my guy pick up what we need for dinner on his way home from work :)
Hope you all get some relief soon!

The grocery store and I are not friends either!! I buy the bare minimums needed and stay clear of the bakery/deli area. DH usually has to stop by the store a couple nights a week because I didn't get everything I needed for dinner. Soon he may be doing all the shopping!

New York Film Academy
Film School and Acting School
|The most hands-on intensive programs in the world
|Michael J. Young
Academic staff
|7,000 per year
|17 Battery Place, New York, U.S.
|Black, White, and Red
New York Film Academy – School of Film and Acting (NYFA) is a for-profit film school and acting school based in New York City. The NY Film Academy was founded in 1992 by Jerry Sherlock, a former film, television and theatre producer.[1] It was originally located at the Tribeca Film Center. In 1994, NYFA moved to the former Tammany Hall building in Union Square. After 23 years of occupancy, the Academy relocated from Tammany Hall to Battery Park in October 2015.[2]
As of 2012, the school has 400+ employees and over 7,000 students per year.[3] NYFA offers master, bachelor, and associate degrees, as well as one- and two-year conservatory programs and short-term workshops in filmmaking, acting for film, photography, 3D animation, game design, producing, screenwriting, digital filmmaking, cinematography, documentary, broadcast journalism, musical theatre, music video, digital editing, graphic design, and illustration programs at various locations throughout the world.[4]
The New York Film Academy's philosophy is based on a "learning by doing" approach. NYFA founder Jerry Sherlock explained to the New York Times in 2005[5] that he opened the school after hearing interest from parents and older relatives of aspiring young filmmakers, and that he wanted to focus on practical experience.
Degree programs, workshops and locations[edit]
NYFA's programs include film directing, film producing, screenwriting, cinematography, film editing, documentary filmmaking, acting, animation, photography, game design, musical theatre, graphic design, and illustration. In 2007 NYFA partnered with NBC News to start a program in digital journalism.[6] In 2010 the contract between NYFA and NBC expired, but the Broadcast Journalism programs at NYFA continue to be offered with many of the original faculty. The NYFA Degree Programs, Workshops and Short-term courses are held in the following locations:[7]
- New York City
- Los Angeles, California next to Warner Bros. Studios
- Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia - Based on the backlot of Village Roadshow Studios[8]
- Sydney, Australia
- Abu Dhabi, UAE[9]
- Cambridge, Massachusetts
- Disney Studios, Orlando, Florida
- South Beach, Florida[10]
- Florence, Italy
- Paris, France
- Mumbai, India
- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil[11]
- Beijing, China
- Shanghai, China
- Moscow, Russia
- Seoul, Korea
- Barcelona, Spain
- Amsterdam, Netherlands
- London, England
Since 2007, the New York Film Academy has been collaborating with museums and major art institutions to organize cultural and filmmaking education initiatives for teens and young adults. The New York Film Academy's partnership with the Metropolitan Museum of Art is in its fourth year. Working closely with each individual institution, the Film Academy contributes resources in curriculum development, teaching staff, and equipment to deliver programs that teach students the creative art of the moving image, as well as the importance and value of all forms of art and the institutions that preserve, protect and display them. Partnering institutions include:
- Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2010-current[12]
- Brooklyn Museum, 2007[13]
- Whitney Museum, 2009[14]
Corporate partnerships[edit]
- Rolling Stone Magazine and the New York Film Academy partnered together to offer a series of Rolling Stone Music Video Workshops throughout the year. The workshops immerse students in cinematography, directing, screenwriting, producing, and editing with students creating their own original music videos.[15]
- In 2014, NASA and the New York Film Academy announced a new initiative that would enlist students to create original audiovisual materials to raise awareness about the development of the James Webb Space Telescope as part of the Academy's STEAM initiative.[16]

I started creating an archive, but found it was not giving me what I wanted. I want to create a type of Resource Library or Topics Page similar to that seen in the link below. My goal is to create a series of articles centered around a topic as if they were lessons in a string of classes, with the ultimate goal of having a curriculum where topics are easy to find as is the case in the link below.
My brain hurts from looking, and setting up an archive just isn't doing it. I'm wondering if I need to go back to Joomla for some CMS.
Thanks and I greatly appreciate the help!

Sheri, mucho thanks for the css tip to force a fixed vertical banner image size in Bushwick.
Passing along this change in custom-header.php to make this happen:
@line 62 in custom-header.php (in the <?php if ... clause) I changed background-image: cover; to background-image: auto;
@line 100 also in custom-header.php (in function bushwick_admin_header_style(), I changed background-image: cover to auto.
Browser compatibility issues however:
Works in Chrome and Firefox (don't have a Mac browser to test at this location, will test on my one of the Mac users in my org) but breaks in IE 10 and 11? Need a compatibility fix I guess to cover those people still stuck on IE!

Hi there
I've just installed and activated Meteor Slides and when I login now it just comes up with a blank screen in Firefox, and a 'Server Error' in Google Chrome.
Is this because I hadn't updated to the latest version of WordPress?
I'm not sure which version I'm using as I can't get in to find out.
I'm quite worried as I'm supposed to be updating the website for someone else!
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm Robin from Robin's Creative Cottage and creator of the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. I'm so excited that Joy asking me back as a guest designer for Everyday Cricut this week, I had a blast in June when I go to share a few Summer and Father's day projects. This week I have a few Fall, Thanksgiving and then Christmas/Winter projects. I hope you'll join us all week long and gather some awesome inspiration for your crafting projects.
I love Fall, it's a gorgeous time of year, I love to see the beautiful colored leaves on the trees, although most are now covering the ground ready to be raked into a huge pile and then jumped into by smiling faces, young and old. :)
My first inspirational project this week is a lovely leaf shaped fall card, I added a birthday sentiment, but it surely could be used for any type of greeting.
I grabbed one of my "oldies but goodies" cartridges to make this fun shape card, one of my favorites... Doodlecharms! The leaf I used is on page 115 of the cartridge booklet, I used my design studio to get my sizing and to weld two leaves together for the base of the card.
I have a simple "cut file" available on my blog so you can create your own leaf shape card.
Below is a photo of all that cuts that I used for my card, obviously they are different colors then the above photo, and that's because I'll will be making another card using different colors and this time I'll make a video of the step by step process and that will be coming soon to my blog, keep a watch out for it.
The tag that reads "Birthday Wishes" I've printed out using my computer, then cut it out in a rectangle leaving extra spacing on the left to punch a hole so I could make this into a tag.
I Scored the base of the card, adhere layer 1, then used foam tape (I like to use scotch mounting tape) to add layer 3 for a dimensional look.
Next I took the patterned paper and the three smaller leaves and crumpled them up in my hand (one at a time), and while the paper is still crumpled I rubbed a brown cat's eye ink pad on the bent edges. I then smoothed each back out flat (I very lightly crumpled the tag). Then again used the ink on the edges of each leaf, the tag and layer 2 that is adhered already on the card.
To make the tag decoration, I used my 1/4" small hole punch and made a small hole in each of the three leaf stems and the tag, added an eyelet then a bit of string and used a large glue dot to adhere this to the leaf card.
I hope you liked this leaf card and got inspired to create your next project... remember to get the leaf card Design Studio cut file on my blog, come on over and say "Hi".

I did find this when they made a change to the XL last year.
Yes, the dome is a little taller, and all of the newer nest have locking wheels.
Choke on Smoke, those are both of the old style models with the short dome. The "guts" changed slightly and Fred did a review of it. There is a newer version with a taller dome that is more rounded and makes the profile taller.My mistake, I never watched the video, I just assumed they did the insides and the taller dome at the same time.

I have an old computer in my dorm room. It acts as a gateway and traffic-shaper (htb) for me and my roommates.
Debian is installed into it. It has been working quite good for a year. Nothing happened until Thursday. 2 days ago it started behaving unexpectedly.
We have 2 interfaces:
- **eth0** - this one looks into local network.
- **ppp0** - this one connects with internet.
We have configured NAT.
The strange fact here is that server suddenly becomes unreacheable.
ifconfig shows, that eth0 and ppp0 are both up.
But I can't ping server from my laptop as well as laptop from server.
But ppp0 works! I can ping google.com from server.
I execute
ifconfig eth0 down
eth0 and ppp0 go down. only lo is up. As expected
Then I
ifconfig eth0 up
Server becomes reachable.
Then I try to pon dsl-provider ... and it doesn't start PPPoE connection.
Only reboot makes it work... just for 5-7 minutes.

NUMA director Dirk Pitt and his children, Dirk. Jr. and Summer, have reason to believe there's a connection here somewhere, but they also know they have very little time to find it before events escalate out of control.
Their only real clue might just be a mysterious silvery mineral traced to a long-ago expedition in search of the fabled Northwest Passage. But no one survived from that doomed mission, captain and crew perished to a man - and if Pitt and his colleague Al Giordino aren't careful, the very same fate may await them.
Filled with the breathtaking suspense and audacious imagination that have become his hallmarks, this is a tour de force - further proof that when it comes to adventure writing, nobody beats Clive Cussler.
©2008 Clive Cussier ; (P)2008 Penguin Audiobooks
"Cussler is the best"
For those who love adventures that put you on the edge of your seat, this is terrific.
The story is rich in information. The twists and turns give you the feeling that our heros will never win. Then, just as all hope is gone, the solution is there. You can breath again.
Scott Brick does a great job defining the characters in the story. I so admire his articulation.
I would read any Cussler book and this one was great.
"Cussler does it again"
Once again Clive Cussler proves that his hero, Dirk Pitt, not only is a man of adventure, mystery and action but also timeless. Keeping with current events and evolving appropriately Cussler once again delivers a book I couldn't put down. I truly hope that he continues this series and anxiously await the next installment. A must read for a true Cussler and NUMA fan.
"Heavy on the "green" agenda"
Most of his books have some amount of "green" agenda push, but this was over the top. It frequently felt like a global warming/ evil big business story was written, and then a couple of characters that we all love were added.
"Great story with a divisive political message"
Cussler is a talented writer. I've read or listened to so many of his books and love the adventures. But I would have preferred he didn't include such a divisive issue as global warming in his storyline.
"Good md but Not one of the best"
Enjoyable but slow at times. The performance was good and the characters did not disappoint
I love Cussler but this story seemed a little too predictable it wasn't as thrilling as the majority of Clive Cusslers other stories I love the Dirk Pitt series they are always interesting I just wish this one had more surprises like the usual twists and turns
"Too Typical View Of Canadians"
As a Canadian I found that he showed a typical American view of Canadians. Canadians aren't the weak, unimaginative and unintelligent people that need the American super hero's to save us from ourselves.
Always good
I normally love Clive Cussler and Scott Brick but I have to say that this time I'm disappointed. Let me just say that I'm from the Northwest Coast of BC and, although the research appears to have done, it was cursory at best. Though Kitimat does have the third largest deep-sea port in BC it is by no means the hub of activity the book makes it out to be. In fact, at times it feels like what Cussler meant was Prince Rupert given the descriptions.
The Bootlegger (another Cussler but about Isaac Bell instead)
As always he did a great job with the characterizations. I've often said that it's difficult to tell that it isn't the particular character (be it man or woman) talking when Scott Brick is narrating and this book is no exception. My one area of frustration is the clear lack of research on his part to make sure he's pronouncing Band and city names. Haisla should be pronounced Hai-zla and not Hai-eezla, and Tuktoyaktuk should be pronounced Tuk-toy-uk-tuk rather than Tuk-toy-ahh-tuk. As someone from Canada and the Northwest Coast in particular I found these pronunciations grating. A simple Google search would have given the correct pronunciations.
Not really, it took me 3 times the normal length of time to get through it and it felt like a bit of a chore.
"Great book and reader"
No, I don't read many books more than once.
The mystery and suspense
When the Delta Force team rescued the coast guard sailors
Not really
"Good Entry in the Dirk Pitt Series"
I'm a forever fan of Cussler. But sometimes I get behind on my reading/listening to his things and have to go back and pickup one I've missed. This is one of those and it felt comfortable, like catching up with an old friend. It's a good adventure, with really despicable villains. I especially liked the premise of finding a way to neutralize carbon emissions. Everything we hear is about reducing the emissions. I'd like to think someone is looking at a way to limit their damage until we can eliminate them. Scott Brick, as always, is a master narrator.

Trash Adding Insult to Emmy
This morning brought the announcement of the 2006 Emmy nominations, and you are forgiven if you don't give a shit. (Desperate Housewives is up for best hairstyling!)
However, there are a couple distinct delights among the nominees, one personala "Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy" nod for My Name is Earl's Jaime Pressly, who cracks my shit up like no other woman on TVand one political: a "Best Animated Program (For Programming Less Than One Hour)" nod for the Tom Cruise-roasting, Scientology-bashing South Park episode "Trapped in the Closet."
Culture buffs will remember this South Park episode for unleashing a shitstorm of controversy, allegedly driving offended Scientologist Isaac Hayes from the cast, and allegedly inspiring Tom Cruise to demand the show never be aired again. (Cruise denies playing a part in the fracas, but the show was indeed yanked from Comedy Central's roster of re-runnable programs.)
And now the good folks of Academy of Television Arts & Sciences are celebrating the episode as an exemplary bit of television. Was the nomination motivated by the Academy's love of prickly satire, hatred of Tom Cruise, or both? Who knows, but you can download and view the whole "Trapped in the Closet" episode here, and watch the 58th annual Primetime Emmy Awards broadcast on August 27.

An Air-Cored Autotransformer with Nearly Equal Decibel Taps
When the first shunt inductor from the input of a passive high-pass filter, serving as a crossover element in a loudspeaker system, is realized as an autotransformer, the effective sensitivity of the driver that it feeds can be adjusted without changing its frequency or phase response or interacting with other parts of the system. It is shown how such a circuit element, which 1) uses an air core and 2) has taps in nearly equal steps of dB, may be realized economically.

Approaches to Teaching Lessing's The Golden Notebook
- Editors: Carey Kaplan, Ellen Cronan Rose
- Pages: vii & 147 pp.
- Published: 1989
- ISBN: 9780873525213 (Cloth)
- ISBN: 9780873525220 (Paperback)
"Kaplan and Rose have collected a wealth of historical, biographical, and pedagogical material not available elsewhere. This Approaches volume is a necessity for students and for Lessing scholars."
When The Golden Notebook was published in 1962, Irving Howe called it "the most exciting piece of new fiction" produced in the decade. Throughout this complex novel, Doris Lessing invites the reader to contemplate the fragmentation of modern life, to grapple with conflicting elements in order to see the world anew. The novel touches on a variety of themes—including African history, leftist politics before Stalin's death, trends in psychoanalysis, the effects of war, male-female relations, and madness—and has attracted a wide range of critical and pedagogical approaches.
This volume, like others in the MLA's Approaches to Teaching World Literature series, is divided into two parts. The first, "Materials," evaluates the corpus of scholarly and critical material published on the novel and recommends background reading. In the second part, "Approaches," seventeen essays place the novel historically, politically, philosophically, and aesthetically—examining it in such contexts as Lessing's life, Jungian psychology, modernism and postmodernism, feminism, film theory, and musical forms—and discuss the teaching of The Golden Notebook in different times, circumstances, and classrooms.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
The greatest comics of all time don't appear on bestseller charts or canon lists or big-box bookstore shelves. They are the property of the back issue bins and thrift store crates and convention hawkers of America, living like the medium itself in the unseen crags and pockets of publishing history…
Daredevil #220, composed and drawn by David Mazzucchelli, colored by Christie Scheele, scripted by Denny O'Neil, with unspecified assistance by Frank Miller. Cover-dated July 1985. Published by Marvel Comics Group.
How acquired: In a back-issue sale at the worst/best comic book shop in the Los Angeles area. You know the type of place: dust everywhere, smell of Indian food, way too hot, full boxes of X-Force #1 from the early '90s blocking the shelves in the back. The type of place where when they have a half-off bin blowout you can grab all the David Mazzucchelli Daredevil issues for a flat fee, and get them to let the ones that aren't in the bins (like this one) go for half price too, provided you're willing to sell them your heavily dented copy of Absolute Watchmen.
Best single drawing:
No holding lines, no problem. Christie Scheele's two-tone coloring is also aces. But what's most exciting is seeing this much care and virtuosic skill lavished on a panel of a superhero comic that doesn't feature any superheroes, or even any main characters at all. Attention to detail's a real benefit when it looks more like this and less like crosshatching every last hair of stubble on the hero's jawline.
The history lesson: In 1985 superhero comics were standing around in an ever-burgeoning state of excitement as the first frothy waves of a sea change nipped around the genre's ankles. All the prime movers of the mid-late 1980s hero renaissance had come onto the scene, and the comics only got better and more audacious: from Frank Miller's early run on Daredevil to Alan Moore's barnstorming Swamp Thing to Howard Chaykin's masterpiece American Flagg! to Peter Milligan and Brendan McCarthy's visionary Paradax! (the vogue was clearly for titles that featured exclamation points). Things eventually came to a dizzying, still-unequaled climax with the one-two punch of Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen and Miller's Dark Knight Returns, but it's important to note how the superheroes got to those landmark titles from the lesser-known hints at them mentioned above. All the early '80s' fascinating stabs at a more mature superhero-comics acme had one thing in common: they retained some sense of the whimsy and fantasia of the high Silver Age work that had inspired their creators as children. What made Dark Knight and Watchmen such fascinating departures was their total rejection of innocence and light for a highly pessimistic realism.
Those two books, though, were only tapping into a wider zeitgeist. Regardless of the genre's two great masterpieces' sensitivity to the times, bad vibes were coming to superhero comics no matter what. Daredevil #220, seemingly just another issue of one of Marvel Comics' more accomplished titles, was the first chink in the armor, courtesy of veteran writer Denny O'Neil (himself a survivor of the genre's lightest days) and immensely talented young artist David Mazzucchelli (who would go on to create probably the third and fourth best comics to come out of the dark-wave superhero '80s in collaboration with Miller — Batman Year One and Daredevil Born Again – before leaving superheroes altogether for the greener pastures of alternative comics). The presence of Miller himself in the book's credits is a bit of a question mark: what exactly he did is unclear, but the issue's plot developments clear the table for Born Again, and the issue betrays both Miller's heavy Will Eisner influence and the more downbeat tone he more than anyone else was responsible for introducing to hero comics. This is where the superheroes went dark. This is where the modern era of America's favorite pulp storytelling genre well and truly begins.
Why it's the greatest comic of all time: Historical importance aside, this is just a fantastically put-together comic book, a great example of how work done in the assembly line process of work-for-hire comics can occasionally become more than the sum of its parts. The big draw is Mazzucchelli's art, about which the editor of a major superhero website remarked "I can't believe this is in a Marvel comic" when I showed it to him. Indeed. What makes the best of Mazzucchelli's pre-alt-comics work so special is how convincingly he was able to pull off the meat and potatoes of superhero action without ever resorting to the lexicon of stock poses, angles, and compositions laid down by Jack Kirby and company in the mid-20th century. Instead, Mazzucchelli's best pre-Born Again work looks something like action comics by an artist who combines the best of Bernard Krigstein, Raymond Pettibon and Edward Hopper. The slashing, immensely bold brushwork gives straightforward shots of hands and faces the visual might of a great punching panel, and when the punches do start flying his emphasis on figure drawing and realist gesture sells the bones they jar and the blood they draw much better than the kind of amplified blocking this comic makes a point of avoiding would. The approach to violence on display in this issue's panels is almost a matter-of-fact one, far removed indeed from the balletic fury most comics about fighting strive for. Mazzucchelli saves the high drama for ink-splattered panels of ran falling, buildings jutting into clouded skies, fog turning a city into a collection of grainy gray rectangles.
It's an atmospheric, deeply dramatic approach to comics art, and yet one that never sacrifices its sense of realism for a big moment. In this, Mazzucchelli is perfectly simpatico with O'Neil and Miller's story, which is one of the most unremittingly downbeat things superhero comics — even now, but especially in 1985 — have played host to. Had an artist other than Mazzuchelli drawn this comic it wouldn't be the tour de force it is, but the content would still shock. The basic purpose Daredevil #220 serves for the book's pre-Born Again master plot is getting rid of the hero's wealthy, unstable ex-girlfriend Heather Glenn, who it's obvious neither O'Neil nor Miller have much patience for. Rather than create a long-running romantic saga, this issue goes quick and clean: a page and five panels of Heather drunk and dissolute, followed a bit later by her suicide. In itself this isn't so shocking (though judging from the letters pages of subsequent issues, it was at the time of publication) — but seeing it depicted in Mazzucchelli's completely unsentimental old-school comic book style is still highly unnerving.
Over the issue's second half, it appears that O'Neil and Miller have hedged their bets, with Daredevil swinging around town convinced that his former flame was the victim of foul play rather than her own depression. It's easy to be fooled: this is still a superhero comic, after all, and the hero bringing his girl's killers to justice is always going to play better, to be more narratively satisfying in that context than anything else. We get what we came for by the closing pages — the gangster who burgled Heather's apartment on the night of her death in police custody, the mystery of the stray cigarette butts beneath her hanging corpse solved. And yet it all feels a little hollow, the catharsis of seeing a white-suited and mustachioed mafiosi beaten and humiliated unable to match the impact of Mazzucchelli's knife-in-the-gut reveal of the damsel in distress's lifeless body. Then, as the villain confesses, the reversal: she was already dead when the robbers got there. Which makes the basic point of this comic that it isn't always capital-E Evil's fault. Sometimes desperate drunks just give up and hang themselves. Whether that's a point that a superhero comic should be making is still very much open to question — as it will be until the genre musters up something that surpasses the aesthetic mastery of its cold and bitter '80s magnum opuses. But when it's delivered in a comic this artistically brilliant and certain of itself, it'll always be worth reading.
Cover price: 65 cents, and you can probably still find it for around that much if you're willing to dig a little.
It bugs me to NO END that nearly everyone will refer to the O'Neil run as basically "the crap between the two Miller runs." Really? There was some good stuff in there. Then they turn around and praise Nocenti's run. And I'm sure no one's read THAT in 20 years, because she had Mike Tyson beat for Heaviest Hands back in the day.
That 65 cents line at the end isn't too far off. I found pretty much the entire run from 200 up to Born Again for 50 cents each a couple years ago. It was a pretty good read.
You know, comics like these aren't meant for re-prints. The colors, inking, toning are made for the cheap as shit reproduction that only solvent flexo provided: gooey ink that was stamped on crappy paper that allowed for a gorgeous limited texture and gamut only this specific production process could provide. All comics back then were made this way with this in mind, hence the amazing, clever use of color. I was looking at an earlier issue of Bill Sinkiewicz's New Mutants. The paint brush separations that glared through the thin black ink or the plugged up halftones allowing for an unintended, always different sparkling look that, in the end, practically mocked you, the comic, and the currency itself at how little it cares about the damn thing. Simply gorgeous, fascinating stuff that's sadly ridiculed, but perfect ugly to look at.
Not saying you're wrong, but where did you get the info Miller had anything to do with this one? He did write issue 219, and co-wrote 226 (the issue before Born Again) but I've never heard his name attached to this one before now.
Just an excellent piece on a fine comic, one of the heights of the Denny O'Neill run (don't get me started on The Gael). Nice one, Matt.
@eric it's right there on the credits page…
The very first comic I ever read. I was way, way too young for it.
Wow, I've never heard of this before, and it's NEVER been reprinted? I need to find myself a copy. Thanks for an informative recap and analysis.
Now that I see the cover, I realize that I might have that book somewhere. Time to go digging in the attic later this afternoon …
@Chris – It was reprinted in the Love's Labor Lost TPB
And it HAS been reprinted, in the trade paperback DAREDEVIL: LOVE'S LABOR LOST.
Thanks, Diggity, we posted simultaneously.
Great write-up, you are very talented at articulating just WHY such a comic is so phenomenal. Yes, the "dark wave" of 80's superhero comics gave us a lot of true talents but I'm still waiting for more of the comics-reading public to wake up and realize that Mazzucchelli belongs on the same pedestal as Gibbons or Miller. In terms of absolute command of atmosphere, draftsmanship, and storytelling, not to mention his ability to imbue every panel with an uncanny level of human realism, he is just about the best superhero dramatist the 80's ever saw (for my money, anyway). I love the way his work tends to be splashed with shadow, contrasting the light and dark. I don't think there's a better artist for the "noir" aesthetic. These were "dark" comic books created when that word was still a relevant stylistic signifier and not just a catch-all to mean garbage attempting to be badass. The Krigstein, Pettibon and Hopper comparisons are apt… I think I also see some Toth bleeding through.
I also agree with mr. pants… glossy pages and high-definition digital coloring/separations wouldn't help this comic, they'd make it feel LESS pulpy and who would want that? Dammit, you are making me want to peruse back issue bins for Daredevil comics. Good, good stuff. Thanks again.
This is where the superheroes went dark. This is where the modern era of America's favorite pulp storytelling genre well and truly begins.
And to this day, I still can not decide if that is a good thing or a bad thing. The problem, of course, being that within the next decade practically EVERYTHING in superhero comic books became grim & gritty. It's extremely difficult to divorce how groundbreaking material such as this was from all of the subpar, pale imitations that it inadvertaintly inspired. Of course, I think Born Again itself was a worse offender, in that afterwards practically every subsequent writer on Daredevil wanted to do their version of "Let's tear apart Matt Murdock's entire world," right up through the recent Shadowland crossover.
Ben – Every movement in every medium (comics, music, you name it) starts off with something amazing. You'd have to be really extraordinary and GOOD to kick off a movement of any kind. But then, that initial burst of greatness is always followed by an entire generation of copycats and imitators and general crap that almost ruins the good name of that first ground-breaking achievement. Look at jazz or any sub-genre of rock music or any kind of artistic or cultural trend and you'll see the same thing. I never, ever fault the original group of works, which are, in and of themselves, brilliant and visionary, for the mountain of trash that came after them. It's not THEIR fault.
Actually, I think the ish Mazz did directly after this was even better (if thats possible)
The one where DD goes to venice. Thats my fave of all time.
Daredevil has been a title that has had great creator after great creator on it and O'Neill and Mazz get so overlooked for their contributions. Yes, Miller, Nocenti, Bendis, Brubaker…they are great but there are a lot of lost gems and issues like this are the proof.
knew some of the ones working on daredevil before born again hit did not like heather . and killed her off but never figured it was Oneil who did the deed for after all trying to matches frank style even a legend like oneil is just setting himself up for a fall with dare devil fans thinking his run is junk
What are some good stores in LA to look for some of these gems?
The real point about this comic ….. if it was made today it'd be a 4 issue story where nothing happens til the end and the woman would still be alive because the hero saved her… There are some gems put out today but they are so few and far between it's sad they don't make comics like this anymore… *Goes to read my complete set of my 1980's Moon Knight run*
Hmm. I don't know if I can say this on a mazz appreciation page, but holy cow….imagine if Marcos Martin's stuff got printed like that….
@unhappy endings melrose music on melrose, iliad in noho, there's a film bookstore in burbank that has a bunch of comics, the fairfax swap meet…
Such a great issue. I own it as a part of that Love's Labor Lost collection. Heather was dragged through the mud time and time again as a character, and this was her final labor as abused fiction. The final quote from the Apology is a nice touch.

Calling on Cuomo to halt testing
Re "Common Core's impact on teacher evaluations needs to be 'addressed,' says Cuomo," April 1 article:
In a stunning turnaround, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has admitted that Common Core testing, which he calls "premature" and "unfair" to students, may be unfair for teacher evaluations as well.
Because the tests will likely count for nothing, the governor should call for an immediate halt of the Common Core English and math tests. By doing so, teaching time won't be wasted with useless tests; children won't be put through the stress of lengthy and unproven tests; and school districts can save the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars budgeted for scoring and security.
And, as thousands of children statewide are boycotting these tests as a protest and a show of deep frustration, the governor's embrace of a halt would go a long way to prove to communities that he is, in fact, listening to their concerns.
Lisa Eggert Litvin
Put a moratorium on grueling exams
Re "Common Core tests will count for teachers, not students," March 30 article:
If the Common Core tests are being deemed meaningless factors with which to evaluate our students, then how can we possibly use these exams to evaluate teachers?
It has been stated by several district officials that the results of the first round of Common Core tests did not provide them with much, if any, information on the achievement of their students. If an assessment cannot be used to inform instruction in an authentic and meaningful way, doesn't it lose its purpose?
In saying that the test scores will be used for teacher evaluation and not student performance makes it seem as if state officials are reaching for justification to administer such exams. It seems cruel to punish students with such grueling exams based on content for which they have had little exposure and experience, especially since the Board of Regents is now acknowledging that this exam is not yet a valid or reliable measure of student learning.
Although these tests are now being referred to as "low-stakes exams," students still feel immense pressure.
Instead of administering exams that will not be used to evaluate student performance, state legislators should put a moratorium on testing and encourage teachers to develop authentic, meaningful, classroom-based assessments that focus on Common Core standards. These will be assessments that provide teachers, schools and districts useful information on their students' performance.

I wrote an open-source customized replacement for Windows 7 USB AutoRun (self.codeprojects)
submitted 3 years ago by joincamp
I understand why AutoRun was removed for USB drives, but I trust my drive and wanted it to run start-up actions on my computers. I saw a few solutions out there that used AutoHotKey or other scripts to work around it, but I wanted to write something that fit my needs and that I could share with others.
Essentially, I was tired of launching my portable password database every time I sat down at my work or home computer, and wanted a way to have that happen automatically. It also lets me remove the drive using a keyboard shortcut, so that I can have it automatically close my password database and unmount the drive.
This is very much a beta, but I think it is something that I can share with others who might want the same functionality. I'm open to criticism, feedback, patches, adding features, etc. It doesn't have an installer yet, but it just requires .Net 4.5 and you can put it anywhere you like and add it to your Windows startup.
