SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
Here is the latest in our year-long look at one cool comic (whether it be a self-contained work, an ongoing comic or a run on a long-running title that featured multiple creative teams on it over the years) a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
Today we look at the first Sin City storyline, retroactively dubbed "The Hard Goodbye"…
Frank Miller's noir crime series, Sin City, debuted in the Fifth Anniversary Special for Dark Horse comics in 1991, then continued as a serialized story in Dark Horse Comics Presents #51-62 (interestingly enough, each chapter was a different length – so in one issue you might get a big chunk of story while in another issue you might only get a few pages).
The story is set in the desolate and corrupt "Sin City." The plot of the first storyline involves a man named Marv (the best description of Marv that I've heard comes from his creator, Frank Miller, who called him "Conan in a trenchcoat").
An attractive young woman named Goldie comes on to Marv in a bar (something that rarely happens for the brutishly unattractive Marv) and sleeps with him (clearly as a means to gain his protective abilities). When he wakes up, she is dead and the police are coming to get him.
That is basically the entire plot of the series – Marv striving to find (and punish, of course) Goldie's killers while avoiding going down for the murder himself.
While the plot is simple enough, the execution of said plot is not, as Miller does a tour de force with the style of the comic, through his artwork and the characters he creates to populate this dingy, dark world of Sin City.
Characters speak like they just stepped out of a Raymond Chandler novel, but Miller manages to make it work.
Still, though, while the characters and dialogue are interesting, it's the artwork that makes this comic such a much-lauded work.
Here's a couple of early interactions from the comic, beginning with when Marv first vows revenge…
And a later shot of how determined Marv is…
And finally, an interesting interaction between Marv and some hit men sent to deal with him…
A very notable comic work by Miller.
And the movie adaptation, partly directed by Miller himself, was nearly a truly page-to-page adaptation.
Loved this series back in the '90's, too bad Miller pretty much stopped any more Sin City while he went Hollywood.
I believe there's a second Sin City movie in the works, but nothing yet.
When it comes to artists who really use the medium to perfection in the storytelling department, I struggle to think of a better example than Miller. This and DKR are beyond exemplary.
Wuitely does really well with his panel arangements too though, especialy in We3 and ASS
one of millers best works shows his true style plus loved Marv sense of humor as he shows a couple hit man the price to mess with him. frank miller showing his genius
And then Miller went barmy and shat out DK2. What hurt that the most was the absolute lack of backgrounds in most of the art, and frankly the art that WAS there was not very good. The story was ok, i guess, and it did have it's moments, but overall I was not impressed.
These are exceptionally told sequences, but there's a theory that Sin City was where Miller's work started to decline into seeming self-parody, especially the dialogue. Looking at these pages, I'm not entirely inclined to disagree; Miller started bringing the audacity of the Sin City comics to everything else.
I've had this (and volume two) sitting around for a few months, unread. Should get around to that sometime.
Oh, yeah!
This is from the time when Miller actually had all his beans in the same jar. It's definitely among his best.
Side note: If his current work had a theme song, it would be "Wreck of the Old 97″.
I love the use of negative space in these panels.
Great art, though its overrated by folks all over the place. Too bad the story is the same misogynist juvenile macho fantasy as the rest of his work.
Still, if I was going to read something by Miller it would be either this or Ronin.
This is about WHY comics should be good, right? 1) The readers are really scary-awesome-smart. 2) We all deserve good comics. 3) We have all different kinds of comics to pick from
And in turn, comics deserve good readers. Mr. Cronin put this article together for us and we ought to show some gratitude because it's a great piece. Really, he seems to have been thinking about what would get people TALKING about how comics are good.
From this point on I'm addressing certain people and you know exactly who you are:
TRASHING MILLER:…….IS IT LIKE AN INSIDE THING? LIKE SKULL AND BONES? — the way folks pounce so quickly, seem so eager to bitch, say really harsh stuff about him….. If you feel that way, fine. We share the right to opinions and free speech, and we share a responsibility for what we say.
HOWEVER, do you see how poor discourse is making us all look bad? AND It is disrespectful to all things comics? Seriously. This is getting to be a problem.
COMICS deserve the respect of constructive criticism, comments, and feedback from the readers.
Regurgitating a myriad of character slurs, faults and banalities about his work/style… Only a person NOT LOOKING at the work will do that. Or someone who doesn't care about comic books.
So at least be a decent participant. Like, talking about why you think other comics are cooler, you know? Instead of this slandering; most of all, indulging attacks on the personal character of a comic book artist?
Hopefully, that's enough on the matter. Discontinue reading as needed. Thank you for your time and consideration.
When the criticism is nasty or lazy, it reflects poorly on you, the critic. Basic fact: You're not saying anything new! It is so obvious when a person is not paying attention and not EXPERIENCING the work at all. You're not coming up with your own subjective reactions, comparisons, criticisms….Realize someone said it all before and you're just repeating it again and again. IT'S FREAKIN BORING PEOPLE! None of these posts go outside the comfortable rhetoric of Miller Bashing. Whatever points were valid are lost, rendered useless.
Um, Snarky? People are entitled to their opinions and, if that opinion is critical, you have no say in the matter. Anybody is welcome to make whatever praise or criticism they like- otherwise, they'd close off the comments. The remark doesn't have to be new, just because that would please you. There are many elements of Miller's work that are lame or unsavory and, whenever his name comes up, these elements will also rear their head.
Many people read his work and don't like it- is your position that none of those people care about comics or were paying attention? So…thousands of people are wrong and you are right? You are the sane genius among us! Either that, or a self-absorbed jackass suffering from arrested development.
Maybe you're not paying attention and EXPERIENCING the criticism at all.
-Citizen Scribbler
Look, in terms of art, Miller really is laying a strong claim to being a visual successor to Will Eisner. If you stripped out all the dialogue in these pages, it arguably tells the story with remarkable innovation, brio, and efficiency.
The problem for a lot of people is that the already-superfluous dialogue attempts to match the power and boldness of the art, and Miller can't quite do that without lapsing into parody. In Sin City, that actually works wonderfully, since it turns into a kind of self-satirical noir for the reader (ignoring Miller's comments about being largely in earnest). But against the expectations of his Batman work, self-parody takes a beating from readers anticipating something more in the vein of his older work and rapidly runs out of steam as a cheeky justification from those who stick with him.
This, above, is good comics. But the same tricks applied in other contexts have brought a significant amount of criticism, and that understandably affects retrospectives of the Sin City material where those tricks were first seen.
Alternately, I suppose CGSB could enforce a "happy comments only " policy with unstinting and zero-tolerance comment deletions.
I also like early Sin City – the art is beautiful, it seemed to decline as the series went on and just got shakier and looser.
Great stuff
This one translated beautifully in the movie.
I've only read a couple of other stories in the Sin City run, as they started to get a bit too same-y for me, but this one has always stuck with me.
I also like early Sin City – the art is beautiful, it seemed to decline as the series went on and just got shakier and looser.
I can go both ways. The first book had some lovely fine lined work that was completely lost in the later stuff, but at the same time it shows that the style was still forming, and some of the panels (though none in the above example) do look dodgy.
Over-all the best art in Sin City (to my mind) was in the first book, That Yellow Bastard and Silent Night. Some of the looser stuff doesn't work at all for me. I thought the art in Family Values was quite poor (and the story come to think of it).
Whoah there. Why has this page autonomously decided to show my second paragraph above as a quote?
Whoah there. Why has this page autonomously decided to show my second paragraph above as a quote?
You haven't been closing your blockquote tags.
This is the second comment in as many days where you left off the / in the closing tags, leaving the comment looking like that (it's not a big deal as I just close it for you, just letting you know that's what is happening).
Oops. I guessed that was the case the other time I did it (it's tricky when I'm doing it from an iPhone), but in this case my second paragraph was block-quoted, but my first wasn't which made no sense to me.
BTW thanks for fixing it.
Good points by Citizen Scribbler. I came out with guns blazing but there's method in the madness. You blazed back and thanks for your response and taking the time. But the rhetoric could've used some tweaks, especially at the end, ya know?
"Many people read his work and don't like it- is your position that none of those people care about comics or were paying attention?"
NO WAY did I want to insinuate this towards people who don't like his work. We're all entitled to our opinions. If you don't like his work, that's cool! To see something interesting aside from the usual, "This guy just sucks," that some people were saying….THIS is what I was driving at.
These forums should be open and people should be able to say what they want. If folks want to stand up in defense, they have just as much of a right to do that as the person who says, "That guy just sucks and I hate his sh*t."
What Omar Karindu wrote was awesome and got me thinking, "The problem for a lot of people is that the already-superfluous dialogue attempts to match the power and boldness of the art, and Miller can't quite do that without lapsing into parody. In Sin City, that actually works wonderfully, since it turns into a kind of self-satirical noir for the reader (ignoring Miller's comments about being largely in earnest). But against the expectations of his Batman work, self-parody takes a beating from readers anticipating something more in the vein of his older work and rapidly runs out of steam as a cheeky justification from those who stick with him."
That helped me understand a lot more about what people were talking about. Thank you Mr. Karindu.
ps. I like puppies too.

All recipes are deliciously vegan.
Spaghetti Bolognese The great thing about the base ingredients of a Bolognese sauce is that depending on the herbs and spices you add, it can be used to make curries, chillies, shepherds pie, lasagne and so on. The recipe below is for spaghetti bolognese, but variations follow.
1. Fry the onion and red pepper in the oil until soft.
2. Add the garlic, courgette and mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are golden brown.
3. Add the mince and herbs and fry for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly. (If the mixture sticks and needs a bit of moisture use some of the juice from the tinned tomatoes.)
4. Add the purée and tinned tomatoes, stir well and simmer for 10 minutes over a low heat.
5. Serve on a bed of cooked spaghetti (allow 75g (3oz) dry weight per person) and garnish with grated dairy-free cheese or Parmezano and chopped olives.

How to lift properly
Posted 14 January 2012 - 04:59 PM
Posted 15 January 2012 - 12:31 AM
Proper "Body Mechanics"- try googling it- it will be explained in detail; as- if you stand near with your legs apart, as close as possible to her,(to give good wide base of your feet for balance),bend your knees, pivot,& turn- you will not strain your own body. Take hold under her arms with your arms locked behind & pivot to the bed or toilet. Pulling on her will hurt both of you.
Does anyone have suggestions on the right way to get someone up from a chair or bed or toilet or just basically up from a seated or laying down position. My wrists are on fire from constant pulling of my mom from holding her hands and pulling her up. Is there another way? I've tried gait belts and they are useless to me.
Hope this is helpful.

I am not a human being trying to have a spiritual experience; I am a spiritual being having a (sometimes difficult) human experience.
First symptoms: right-hand tremor, constipation and restless arms 1978 (age 25). Depression and anxiety (non-motor symptoms) began in 1989 and worsened through the years. Last inpatient episode June 2013.
Diagnosed December 2010 by a regular neurologist (age 57). After negative reactions to Requip, Mirapex and selegiline began Sinemet 25/100 3x/day. First MDS visit in Houston in February of 2011 was inconclusive. Second MDS visit at Baylor Fort Worth in May/June 2011 diagnosis changed to Parkinsonism, Sinemet stopped. Third MDS visit in August 2011 in WA State: received a confirmed diagnosis of idiopathic PD which had started on the right side and had now crossed to the left side as well. Restarted on Sinemet 25/100 4x/day. A short trial of Amantadine caused audio hallucinations in September 2011.
Current medications at age 63: Duopa gel via PEG-J tube, 6ml loading dose; continuous dose 2 ml. Trazodone 150 mg at bedtime, Fluvoxamine 300 mg at bedtime. Clonazepam 0.5 mg morning and afternoon, 1 mg at bedtime. Vit D3 2x/day, Calcium Carbonate Susp. 5 cc daily, Baclofen 10 mg 3x/day, Flonase two sprays 2x/day, Calcitonin-Salmon nasal spray once daily (for osteoporosis). Gel eye drops as needed throughout the day, Restasis Eye drops 2x/day, Nighttime eye ointment at bedtime. 02 2L per nasal cannula while asleep. Walker, electric wheelchair, moist and soft or pureed foods and 135 caregiver hours per month keep me moving.

I had a physical therapist show me how to lift my husband. Our neurologist set me up with a physical therapist and it was a great help. I lift under my husbands arms with my upper arms. Are you part of a caregivers group? Maybe through a local house of worship. Sure hope this helps. Also try the Parkinson's Foundation or the Michael J Fox Foundation may have resources in your area. Google them get a phone number, maybe they can help. I know how you feel, It Stinks!

Thanks for answer... but it's a bad news...i need to use an external device to watch Youtube...Why did i buy a SmartTV if i need to do that ? :confused:
Please write a smart app for older devices.....
Bad news... Certain older YouTube apps will no longer be supported after April 2015
See official news here
A very bad news for "old" :mad: SmartTV (after 2012).
Did Philips plan to upgrade these...
Thanks, it work at 75%
I can see the Arte page (and a lots of other) but when i start an apps i cannot use the arrows on my remote control.
I can only use the OK key.
I have try the remote apps...
The ARTE app has been removed from NetTV !
For me, ARTE apps was one of the most important NetTV apps !
Philips why did you remove it ?
(Philips 40PFL7605)
Problem fixed after reinstalling an older firmware. Philips 40PFL7605.
A new message is now available for the Arte apps: service currently unavailable....
Hmmm..Last firmware update for my TV (40PFL7605) is more than one year old.
I think, my TV is no more supported. :confused:
Danke ! :)
Wait and see !
Thanks for answer...
I'm not alone :-)
Since one or two weeks Arte+7 apps (NetTV) is not working.
Arte page open (white screen) but after 2 or 3 seconds, screen turn to black....
...and nothing...
I have tried to reload the page:...
The problem has been fixed (IP EPG) one hour after i have written my message.
Problem fixed for me.
TV: 40PFL7605 - Last firmware installed
Yesterday: i lost some manually recorded channels in IP-EPG. I re-record the "lost" channel. :) Not a major problem but i found this problem strange.
My tv: 40pfl7605
Latest firmware.
My phone: sony ericsson xperia x8
Android 2.1
With version 2.3, i lost simplyshare.
Impossible to check the function in the configuration menu.
I can...
I have the same problem with my TV and Android smartphone.
Android: Sony Ericsson Xperia x8 (android 2.1).
With version lower than 2.3, SimplyShare work well !

Back to the Suture: The Distribution of Intraspecific Genetic Diversity in and Around Anatolia

AbstractThe effect of ice ages in speciation and diversification is well established in the literature. In Europe, the Iberian, the Italian and the Balkan peninsulas comprise the main glacial refugia, where the subsequent re-population of Europe started. Though not studied as extensively, Anatolia has also been hinted to be a potential glacial refugium for Europe, and with its proximity to the Caucasus and the Middle East at the same time, has potential to exhibit high levels of intraspecific diversity. The more ubiquitous use and cheaper availability of molecular methods globally now makes it possible to better understand molecular ecology and evolution of the fauna and flora in the genetically understudied regions of the world, such as Anatolia. In this review, the molecular genetic studies undertaken in Anatolia in the last decade, for 29 species of plants and animals, are examined to determine general phylogeographic patterns. In this regard, two major patterns are observed and defined, showing genetic breaks within Anatolia and between Anatolia and the Balkans. A third pattern is also outlined, which suggests Anatolia may be a center of diversity for the surrounding regions. The patterns observed are discussed in terms of their relevance to the location of suture zones, postglacial expansion scenarios, the effect of geographic barriers to gene flow and divergence time estimates, in order to better understand the effect of the geological history of Anatolia on the evolutionary history of the inhabitant species. In view of the current state of knowledge delineated in the review, future research directions are suggested.

SBIR Phase II: Microbial Enhancement of Soybeans for Salmonid Diets

AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project aims to develop a process for enhancing the nutritional value of soybeans to replace fishmeal as the primary ingredient in farmed trout and salmon feed. Fishmeal creates environmental and economic constraints for the aquaculture industry. Plant-derived proteins are a good alternate feed source, but do not meet the nutritional requirements of many farmed fish species including trout and salmon. Prior Phase I work demonstrated that a combination of a selected fungal strain with innovations in solid substrate culture (SSC) would increase the protein content, eliminate the non-digestible carbohydrates and reduce anti-nutritional factors in soybeans. This Phase II project will test pilot-scale SSC technology to determine engineering design and economics for a commercial process to manufacture the bio-enhanced soy protein, and to demonstrate the feed value of this protein in trout feeding trials. The commercial application of this project will be in the aquaculture industry. The use of fishmeal creates economic, market and water pollution issues for fish farmers, and consumer concerns regarding environmental impacts (for example, there are reports of PCBs, dioxins, and other pesticides detected at higher levels in farmed salmon that have been fed fishmeal based diets). Replacing fishmeal with plant based proteins will promote health through increased fish consumption and will alleviate environmental and economic constraints facing the aquaculture industry.

Multiple fire departments responded to a fire near the Houston/Geneva County line that resulted in an elderly man going to the hospital.
Firefighters from Rehobeth, Southern Junction, Taylor, Fayette, Malvern and Wicksburg converged on a blaze Tuesday afternoon.
Shortly after arriving on the scene, the elderly victim was successfully extracted from the home and then the battle kicked in.
Mostly it was a fight just to get water on the scene; trucks were coming and going shuttling water to and from the house from hydrants a little over a mile away.
The fire was pretty much extinguished a little over an hour and a half, and the house was declared a complete loss.
There is no word yet on the condition of the elderly man taken to the hospital.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation

University (Master's)
I have a Master's Degree in Teaching ESOL and Russian.
I have excellent oral and written communication skills and extended experience. I have been teaching ESOL and Russian at schools, colleges, and universities for more than 20 years.
I love to deal with a variety of students of different age categories and learning levels, including those of diverse cultures and ethnic backgrounds.
I am passionate and devoted in helping students with academic deficiencies. First of all, I determine skill areas that require additional assistance, and then do my best to improve their academic performance and succeed. In my work, I use the newest and proven educational technologies. I always keep my students motivated and challenged.

Iryna is a master of grammatical structure. I have seen this before in Russian instructors. Iryna is unique because she is a master of English grammar as well as Russian grammar. She has the ability to compare both languages' structure. Her style allows for many "aah ha" moments.
Although she knows grammar intensely, she focuses on communication. She corrects grammar but does not intimidate a student with the overwhelming and seemly impossible Russian grammatical structure.
A great teacher for beginners, she gives a proper foundation. Invaluable.
Wonderful tutor. Take advantage of her expertise in how to speed access to information and access to the easiest ways. She is a smart tutor. I recommend benefiting from her experience. Thank you, Iryna!
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have Master's in English and have an extended experience in teaching English and related subjects at the universities and colleges both in Ukraine and the USA. Besides, I passed ACT English, English, Grammar, Reading, and TOEFL with 100% score.
I have Master's Degree in English Language and Literature. I used to work as a Head of Translation and Foreign Languages Department at the university in Ukraine.
I have a proven successful 25-year ESL/ESOL teaching experience with different age groups and levels, diverse cultures and ethnic backgrounds. I used to work at Language institute in Gadsden, AL and taught ESL subjects, including Grammar, Reading Comprehension, Phonetics, Writing Composition. I can use both natural and grammar-translation methods, as well as current educational technologies. In my tutoring I use differential approaches with my students.
Grammar is one of the sections included in the TOEFL exam preparation. I used to teach the subject Preparation for TOEFL while working at the university in Ukraine and at the Language Institute in Gadsden, AL. I was in the group of instructors who accepted the TOEFL tests. Besides, I used to teach Comparison Grammar of English and Russian.
I'm fully qualified to tutor in Reading because it is one of the sections included in the TOEFL exam preparation called Reading Comprehension. I used to teach the subject Preparation for TOEFL while working at the university in Ukraine and at the Language Institute in Gadsden, AL. I was in the group of instructors who accepted the TOEFL tests.
I'm originally from Ukraine and my native language is Russian. I finished secondary school with a golden medal, which means all straight "A"s, and all subjects were taught in Russian. Then I studied at the University, and all subjects were taught in Russian. I have credits in Russian Language, Literature, general Linguistics, Comparative Russian and English. Later I worked at several companies teaching intense Russian for American students. I'm totally qualified to teach Russian.
I'm fully qualified to teach TOEFL because I was preparing students for this exam while working at the university in Ukraine and while working in the Language Institute in Gadsden, AL. I used to teach subject called Preparation for TOEFL Exam, along with Reading Comprehension, Writing Composition, and Grammar. I also took that exam myself.

you written pokemon rather than digimon here
| DragonPony022 chapter 3 . 12/3/2014
Well this is something interesting. I think some back story on Naruto just to say how he got to be the way he is or something would make it great. I could see this story revamped and doing really well with Naruto/Digimon crossovers being really popular right now. I like him being a very experience training and telling them things that most chosen ones never seen to do with their digimon or didn't know. It would be epic for Naruto to hook up with both Renamon and Rika lol (if just one... Renamon there are alot of him with Rika but non with him and Renamon lol).
Anyway this is a interesting story, that i feel with your improved writing skills you could really do it justice if you brought it back

Type 1 Diabetes: Are You as Smart as a 2nd Grader?
All you really need to know about type 1 diabetes Eric Hamblin likely learned in kindergarten. This 8-year-old was diagnosed at 18 months of age, and he already has enough smarts to teach first-year med students a thing or two about the disease.
"I just want to say one thing, and that's you guys don't know anything about diabetes," the class clown told a capacity crowd at a University of New England Medical School seminar.
His line got the laughs he was after, but there's truth behind it. Of an estimated 29 million Americans with diabetes, about 3 million have Eric's form of the disease. The smaller proportion of people with type 1 may be a big reason the condition so misunderstood.
Types 1 and 2 both cause high blood sugar and have insulin as the problem. Insulin is a hormone that unlocks cells to let in blood sugar, and that creates energy.
You can't live without insulin. If you have type 1 diabetes, your body doesn't make enough of it. If you have type 2, your body can't use it properly. There are many other differences between the conditions.
Rumor Has It
Eric's mom, Elizabeth Pratt Hamblin, knew the basics thanks to her job as a medical editor. "But I didn't know what having type 1 really meant or how it was treated until he was diagnosed," she says.
What began as an overwhelmed mother's quest to learn how to care for her son turned into a self-help book for others: 100 Questions & Answers About Your Child's Type 1 Diabetes.
Pratt Hamblin covers many myths about type 1 diabetes in her book, including that it only affects children. That's not true, although it doesn't help that the condition used to be called "juvenile" or "juvenile-onset" diabetes.
About 18,000 kids a year are diagnosed with the disease, but it can happen at any age. About 5% of adults with diabetes have type 1. And you never outgrow it, no matter how old you are when you get diagnosed.

Up until now I'm using RadioSure as my online radio player, but I'm fed up with their long cycles between updates and the negligence regarding updating radio stations.
Is there an alternative, preferably open-source/freeware, which updates the list of radiostations on a regular basis? And on top of that has A LOT(!!) radio stations? RadioSure has some 12000 odd stations listet (a lot of them duplicates with different sound qualities).

I don't know Josh. Certainly there are many many elements of genius here, but no "I am not a crook," no Rosemary Woods, no Deep Throat, no Congressional hearings with Sam Ervin, Howard Baker and the rest? Maybe we will have to await the sequel for things to be filled out a bit.
Can Jen G. (I'll forget asking Feit)provide some intelligent commentary on this video, because I think it's plain stupid. Pretentious brats. Big deal. Keep Josh away from the art department so we can safely avoid empty platitudes like "off-the-charts brilliant."
That's what so great about it: They don't have a sense of the plot... and so, they end up reinterpreting the whole thing to make it intelligible for today's consumption & their own. In other words, rather than the "I am not a crook" line... the kid has some weird line about "America is safe" ... which has nothing to do with Watergate and everything to do with 9/11.
Well, there weren't any real credits so it was hard to tell who was who. Was the kid with the weird accent supposed to be Kissinger? Then the narrative was a bit rough, mostly due to having more jump cuts than a David Fincher video, and the dialogue was a little, shall we say, flat. There's lots to love here though, like how they didn't learn their lines and were reading off the script -that was totally rad. I kept expecting one of the kids to say "Line!" just so it would be the cherry on top.
My fave was the disappearing and reappearing moustache. It should get a production deal and a spin off.
Thanks, Josh, you've intellectualized the conundrum into the well-worn path of speaking out your artsy ass.
Josh said - "Weird & beautiful how the lacking understanding of Watergate translates."
Did these kids' teachers use the Burroughs cut-up method and mail them to you for promotion?
Please, Josh, avoid being near anyone who has a sense of aesthetics whenever you use the word "beautiful"
If you click on that video, there are highly invaluable links to other products by these geniuses (including Part 2 of the Watergate film, which solves many mysteries). My favorite, though, is their movie about Frederick Douglass. I especially like the whipping scene in which both participants crack up.
The stars were like totally bleeding poetry.
The stars were like totally bleeding poetry.
And then I knew that I was an artist.
well, they might as well have called it The Battle of the Bulge, for all of its fidelity to actual history....I especially liked it when Ehrlichman or Haldeman or whoever it was slapped Nixon, saying "I resign" in a huff. God knows we could have used him to be beaten about the head and shoulders a little bit. As for you Patron, I hope your day goes better from here on out.

Hello, at separate times I have installed both Twitter Goodies Widget by NetWebLogic and Twitter Goodies by iCrunched. Both of these widgets shuts my site down as soon as I put it in the sidebar. Any suggestions here? Not sure what to do and my client really wants a Twitter plugin that will show her tweets on the sidebar.
It's weird because I have the Twitter Goodies plugin on two other sites and it works perfectly, but for some reason on this site where I'm using the My Daily Journal Theme by Elegant Themes it's not working. The Elegant Themes forum can't give me advice on third party plugins, so I'm hoping I can get some help here?

Hi, Zero_Breaker. I feel exactly like you. And I understand why you feel so demotivated. The thing is, you're probably (subconsciously, anyway) thinking you'll be learning all this C++ again and forget it again soon. Other reason for your low morale is you don't get to see results of what you've learned. Finally, the third factor is probably you don't feel trully commited to the whole process of digging in, learning and doing.
Programming is a very, very demanding task. You have to learn C++ (considering your approach now). Then, you need to learn 2D/3D math. Then you need to learn how to use a graphics library (OpenGL, or SDL, or a 3D engine...). In the meantime you need to learn how a game is actually coded - the logic of the game loop, how to integrate several source and header files, how to organize the whole code... The list goes on and on.
Don't feel guilty because you're not getting to the finish line. It does take a long, long time. The important thing here is you like the journey, not just the final destination. I'm saying this but I'm on the same boat... I also keep getting lost on what to do next, what to learn next. Maybe we could learn together? I'm sure it would boost the heck of our morales, to share thoughts, maybe even programming stuff together?
If anyone else reading this is on the same boat, drop me a msg or reply to this topic, maybe we could gather a "beginners" group to keep everyone motivated and to help each other learning stuff.
That being said, and replying to your post, I'd say the book you chose (C++ Primer 5th Edition) is a very, very good choice. It's the book I chose too. It gets very deep into C++, and it may be tiring to finish it, but believe me, it will be worth it. It helps to really understand how C++ works. It will help you to avoid magical bugs and compiler warnings/errors popping out of nowhere because you will trully master the dirty details of it all. So be easy on yourself. You're going the right path, but it's also the hardest one. My approach to your problem (feeling demotivated, bored...) was this: taking notes on the details that will most probably be forgotten in a couple of days (because they're not used enough) but represent potential pitfalls when it comes to code. I made a kind of personal "cheat sheet" with some 15 pages of notes about everything I'll need to remind myself of when I want to code. The book itself has over 1000 pages iirc, so bringing it down to 15 pages is a major sense of accomplishment by itself. Heck, I'll share my cheat sheet with you if it helps you, no problem
Concerning the bookstore stuff, I can help you with that if you want. Send me PM if you're interested
Cheers ;)

Could someone help me to develop a method to run any .jar file (with parameters) from in C# with XNA?
Since you give absolutely no details as to why you want to do this or how it would be used. I'll just give you the most straightforward simple answer I can come up with.
Start Java as a process:
You'd have to verify they have Java installed and that it's up-to-date. This is totally just a guess, since I don't use C# or XNA so I'm not sure if

When my mother, Patricia McGowan, died in late June, we chose the cheapest coffin for her burial. The funeral director brought the glossy album of possibilities for us to leaf through and without even glancing at it, I told him, "Mom would want the plainest, simplest, most expensive one you've got." There was a small silence. "I meant the least expensive," I said quickly. "We'll take the cheapest."
We wanted Mom to have the best, but we also wanted to honor her wishes. Her hero was Dorothy Day (who went out in a plain wooden box), and where coffins were concerned, best meant cheap.
For the obituary, however, we spared no expense.
Five years ago, my father had asked me if I would write their obits a little early. In those days, newspapers carried them for free and so I wrote it all—all the details of a life of power and strength and endless love, and it was important that I do that because by then Mom was deep in the last stages of Alzheimer's disease. Most of her grandchildren had never known the woman who had astonished the rest of us for so many years, and we didn't want to deny them their heritage.
Because Dad had "prearranged" everything, the obituary was on file. After we chose that particle-board coffin, the undertaker looked skeptically at the essay-length obituary I had written and said, "You realize this will cost...

Norman Osborn tried to place nice with the heroes of the Marvel Universe. He tried to let them come to terms with and be part of his Dark Reign over the Marvel Universe, but they just wouldn't cooperate. So now the former Green Goblin is going to punish them for their insolence. Osborn kicks off this new campaign in the one-shot âDark Reign: The List-Avengersâ by writer Brian Michael Bendis and Marko Djurdjevic, which hits stores this week. CBR News spoke with Djurdjevic about his work on the book, which is the first in a series of loosely connected âDark Reign: The Listâ one-shots.
While best known for his cover work on Marvel books like âDaredevilâ, âThorâ, âMighty Avengersâ and âGhost Rider,â Djurdjevic has also done full comic book projects as well. The German artist has provided the interior art for recent issues of âThorâ as well as illustrating interior pages in books like âDaredevilâ #100. âDark Reign: The List- Avengersâ is his most high profile interior work to date, and Djurdjevic is very happy to be working with Brian Michael Bendis, who personally picked him for this assignment.
âI was pretty excited because I got to draw some cool characters and work with Brian. He was very receptive and appreciative of the work I did. It makes the job so much easier if you're able to communicate with a book's author,â Djurdjevic told CBR News. âPlus, Brian's scripts are very character driven and I like that a lot. I'm a sucker for talking heads pages. I like switching around different characters and trying to capture the right pose and facial expressions. If you look at my work, you'll see that I'm trying to avoid an overly humorous or cartoony approach to facial structure. There's a fine line between giving a character a certain amount of facial expression and letting it drift away into the realm of cartoonyness. That's what I like about talking heads pages - they challenge you to find that middle line.â
The way Bendis writes and breaks down a page was a challenge for Djurdjevic. âBrian has a way of really stretching out a page and using a lot of panel work, while [J. Michael] Straczynski on 'Thor' is really open. Most of his pages have nothing more than three or four panels,â the artist explained. âI work fast, though. That's part of my process and expertise; getting stuff done really quickly. Most of my cover work takes a day, and I like to work under pressure because it gives me an opportunity to focus on the work and not lose time overthinking the process and making stupid decisions.â
For âDark Reign: The List-Avengersâ Djurdjevic had an especially tight deadline. âI was planning on going on a family vacation, so I knew I only really had about nine days to work on the entire book. So I made the most of those nine days and really crunched out all the pages out and got them to Mark Morales who is inking them. We had a lot of fun during the process, and it was a very interesting way of challenging yourself,â Djurdjevic explained. âI'd rather meet a tight deadline and then go on vacation. Going somewhere to relax and having to take work with you is a horrible scenario.â
A nine day deadline may result in some artists doing a subpar job, but Djurdjevic feels that the pressure made his work on âDark Reign: The List-Avengersâ even better. âI really think I hit a milestone with this issue. I really pushed the button on how creative and detailed I can get. There are a lot of interesting characters and panels. It's a really powerful issueâ the artist remarked. âStylistically, the big change is going to be that I worked with Mark Morales. He did four pages in 'Thor' #602, and I really loved the way he inked my work. I felt that he had a very good feeling for my lines. I've seen the finished pages and I'm really happy with how he inked my pencils.â
Drawing âDark Reign: The List-Avengersâ was both a fun and creatively fulfilling job for Djurdjevic, and the artist hopes to land similar assignments in the future. âI fell into my assignment on 'Thor.' I never really wanted to work on that title,â he said. âSo working on 'The List' was a really good venture. It was something more suited to my abilities and interests; cityscapes, dark corners, and a moody atmosphere.
âMy affection for 'Thor' comes from reading up on Norse mythology as a child and a teenager. I really love Norse mythology, but I never really grasped the concept of Thor as a superhero. So I felt a little lost on 'Thor,' and I was really happy when I was given this gig [on "Dark Reign: The List-Avengers"] because it's what I really like drawing; people interacting and low key action. It's something that's more standalone, and I prefer that to the epic scale of 'Thor.'â

Ready in 40 minutes
Chickpeas make hearty and tasty vegetable. Highlighted with lots of roasted cumin. The roasted cumin is divided in half, with first half added early to base to lend flavor, and second half added to finish to lend aroma.
629 people want to try | 468 have favorited
To roast spice, in saucepan preheated with medium heat, roast the cumin seeds until aromatic, 30-60 sec. Remove from heat immediately and pour from pan into small bowl to cool. After cool, grind to coarse powder in spice grinder, 10 sec. Also separately grind coriander seeds and red chili pepper.
To make the base, in small saucepan brown onion, 10-20 min. Can save time by browning onions in batches and using saved brown onions. Add tomato and cook, 3 min. Allow the tomato to saute, not boil. Add water, garlic, ginger, 1/2 roasted cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili pepper, and boil 2-3 min. Water keeps garlic from burning. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. With stick blender, puree the tomatoes into gravy.
Now for the main ingredient, the chickpeas. Add chickpeas and bring to boil, cover and simmer 5 min. Mash 2 tbsp chickpeas and stir.
To finish, add garam masala, 1/2 ground roasted cumin, black pepper and fresh coriander and stir. Serve.
elizardbeth 10m agoI thought this was super plain and watery. I spiced it up with more garam masala, 1 can of coconut milk, 1 tbs of honey and some salt. Boiled it down more to make a creamier sauce. Much better that way, but so not what the recipe called for.
Bonnieenders 1y agoNot as good as my neighbor's Channa Masala, but better than my attempt at it! Detailed instructions worked great. I mashed about half of the chick peas and liked the texture.
ClassicKnits 2y agoA healthy dinner main dish, I added 3 peeled and diced russet potatoes and served over brown rice. I found the flavor had more depth the next day reheated.

Uncertainty and Investment in Electricity Generation: the Case of Hydro-Québec
World wide the electricity industry is undergoing a substantial process of restructuring, with an emphasis on the introduction of competition in the generation sector. Competition is ostensibly going to lead to better incentives, both in the use of existing resources and in future investment decisions. One of the main drivers of this new environment will be the increased opportunity for energy sales between what had been, before the introduction of competition, fairly closed markets. These new opportunities may lead to new investments in generation and transmission capacity which will occur in order to take advantage of cost differentials between regions, one of the driving factors in the call for restructuring. Accounting for some of the underlying complexity of electricity systems, specifically equipment availability and load duration curves, this paper illustrates how uncertainty affects investment in generation. We offer a simple 2-region model to analyse this problem, based on the linear programming model of Chaton (1997). Specifically, we analyse the case where one region has access to four generation technologies, differentiated by cost characteristics as well as construction lead times. A second (neighbouring) region has access to only one of the generation technologies, hence the necessary asymmetry between producing regions. Uncertainty is present in the demand for energy in the first market, as well as in the input fuel prices. Given this uncertainty, and the possibility of electricity sales between regions, we investigate and characterise optimal generation investment in the first market as a function of the problem parameters. The model is calibrated with data from Hydro-Québec and the northeastern United States. This application is particularly interesting and relevant, given the abundance of relatively cheap hydroelectric power in Québec, and Hydro-Québec's self-proclaimed strategic interests in increasing its exports to the northeastern markets. The numerical example illustrates the importance of appropriately modelling the complexity of the electrical system when considering the impacts of restructuring.

Afghanistan's Ethnic Puzzle
Decentralizing Power Before the U.S. Withdrawal
In late 2001,when U.S. forces expelled the Taliban from Afghanistan, the country appeared headed for a breakup. The United States and the rest of the international community feared that Afghanistan's rival ethnic groups would use their regional power bases to pull apart any unitary state, forming in its place independent ministates or aligning with their ethnic brethren across Afghanistan's borders. At the time, such fears seemed credible: NATO troops were still dealing with the fallout from the violent disintegration of the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s.
The Afghans themselves, however, were less concerned about their country dividing. After all, Afghanistan has been a single state for more than 250 years. If the country were going to split, it would have done so in the 1990s, during its protracted civil war. Yet it did not. No Afghan leader of any political stripe or ethnicity endorsed secession at any time during the last century. Nor did any at the start of this one. Although Afghanistan's various ethnic factions disagreed about how the country's new government should be organized and who would wield power within it, they all proclaimed their support for a unitary state.
A decade later, the anxiety of Washington and its allies has reversed itself. If in 2001 the West was afraid that the absence of a strong centralized government in Kabul would prompt Afghanistan's dissolution, by 2011 the West has come to fear that a dysfunctional centralized government could cause this same outcome. Such a turn of events was caused by

Research Institution:
AbstractDuring Phase I, Busek designed and manufactured an electrospray emitter capable of generating 20 mN in a 7" x 7" x 1.7" package. The thruster consists of nine porous-surface emitters operating in parallel from a common propellant supply. Each emitter is capable of supporting over 70,000 electrospray emission sites, with the plume from each emitter being accelerated through a single aperture, eliminating the need for individual emission site alignment to an extraction grid. The total number of emission sites during operation is expected to approach 700,000. Phase II results will focus on optimization and characterization of the thruster fabricated during the Phase I effort, as well as fabrication of additional porous emitters for full-scale testing. Propellant will be supplied to the thruster via existing feedsystem and micro-valve technology previously developed by Busek, under the NASA ST7-DRS mission, and follow-on electric propulsion programs. Methods for extending thruster life beyond the previously demonstrated 450 hours, will be investigated and include potential alternate emitter materials selection, and bi-polar thruster operation. The life extending capabilities will be demonstrated on a sub-scale version of the thruster developed.

LRHS, Clark & Daughtrey Give Merger Details
Clark & Daughtrey doctors to maintain operational control of the practice.
Published: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 12:15 a.m.
LAKELAND | Lakeland Regional Health Systems will acquire Clark & Daughtrey Medical Group's physical assets as part of a merger, officials said Monday as they provided details about the plan announced over the weekend.
Clark & Daughtrey physicians and other employees will be offered employment, Lakeland Regional said.
Adil Khan, chief administrative officer of Clark & Daughtrey, said he expects they will accept. Khan will stay in his position and may assume other responsibilities.
Clark & Daughtrey will be part of LRHS, the parent company of Lakeland Regional Medical Center.
"All of our Clark & Daughtrey employees will become LRHS employees," Khan said. "All of our employees, doctors and staff will remain with us."
Khan said the value of Clark & Daughtrey's assets will be determined by an independent evaluator. The clinic will determine how money it receives will be distributed.
Clark & Daughtrey doctors will maintain day-to day operational control of the practice through a physician management council, Lakeland Regional said Monday in an emailed response to questions sent to the hospital and medical group.
"Our relationship with Clark & Daughtrey is just one of many appropriate ways in which providers in our community can come together to center care around patients and their families," Lakeland Regional said.
"We'll continue to serve the community and work towards giving them what they deserve," Khan said.
Clark & Daughtrey doctors will evaluate during the next couple of months how involved they will be in the residency programs affiliated with the University of South Florida that Lakeland Regional plans to add, Khan said.
Emails obtained by The Ledger from public University of South Florida records show long interaction between LRHS and Clark & Daughtrey on merging in some way.
"We've been having discussions off and on for about a year, but the significant discussions started in the past four months," Khan said.
Clark & Daughtrey has 337 employees, including 62 health specialists such as doctors and advanced nurse practitioners. The medical practice will work with Lakeland Regional on initiatives such as increasing access to primary care.
No joint ventures between the two entities are planned at this time, nor are there plans for an accountable care organization — a partnership in which hospitals and physicians can work closely together.
ACOs are forming nationwide, and hospitals are purchasing private practices in preparation for changes in how the federal government reimburses them for providing care.
