Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
As is his habit, Kiel Phegley emailed all of us at CBR asking us to give him our annual best-of-the-year top ten, so that he can edit together CBR's annual top 100 picks from all of us.
And as is my habit, I sat down to do it and got stopped at about six. There's only about ten books on my pull list, period, and I know perfectly well that several fall into the category of "stuff I just happen to like" as opposed to "best of what's out there." I don't read everything that's out there, and of the stuff I do read, only about half is something I'd put on any kind of best-of list. I eventually get it done in time for Kiel to do his tally, but invariably, every year at some point I get stuck for a while at around the halfway point.
I grumbled about this to Julie, who said, "MacGyver! Did you put MacGyver on the list? Because MacGyver is awesome."
I don't know about best of the year, but the new MacGyver book from Image is pretty good.
It's co-written by Lee Zlotoff, who actually created the original television show, and Tony Lee, who's done enough Doctor Who comics to know the key to making a licensed book work. The art from Will Sliney keeps a nice sense of movement and he's doing very well at suggesting Richard Dean Anderson's likeness without getting too photorealistic.
The book ranks about even with a good episode of the show. If you like watching MacGyver on television, you will enjoy reading his adventures in comics.
I'm not a MacGyver fan really– I started picking this up for Julie– but I am enjoying it almost as much as my wife does. Between Tony Lee's apprenticeship writing serials for British weekly comics and Zlotoff's experience in network television, what you have is a book scripted by people who don't really do 'decompression' at all, which pleases me. Moreover, Zlotoff also has a fascinating text piece in each issue recounting the process involved in getting MacGyver to the screen in the first place. It's a solid read for the money and I almost never say that about regular monthly comics any more.
I wouldn't call it best of the year, but it's GOOD. I hope we get more books like this from this creative team once this mini-series is done. Recommended.
Another mini-series that has that kind of old-school "Geez, we used to get stuff this good ALL the time" feeling was Lone Ranger: Snake of Iron from Chuck Dixon and Esteve Polls.
First of all, I've said several times that as far as I'm concerned Chuck Dixon is the go-to guy for this kind of story. He knows history and he knows guns and he knows pulp fiction and he can put them all together into a tight comics narrative. (In my perfect world someone would revive High Adventure comics as a Chuck Dixon/Beau Smith/Mike Grell anthology book with cowboys, pirates, and Mack Bolan-style mercenaries alternating as the leads.)
Dixon clearly loves the Ranger– his contribution to Moonstone's The Lone Ranger Chronicles was one of the best, and best-researched, in that anthology.
So I was very pleased to see him come back to the character. What I love about this is that Dixon's not trying to re-invent the wheel or deconstruct anything. He's just giving us a really good western with the Lone Ranger and Tonto.
Everything a Ranger fan could want is in there– he makes sure to get in hero moments even for the horses Silver and Scout. But he also bends convention a number of ways: for example, Chuck Dixon knows enough about Native American history to construct a plausible hostage-crisis conflict without having to resort to using 'evil injuns.' He's able to use a group of angry tribal warriors as antagonists without demeaning them.
And the story takes advantage of something the TV show could never have done, but is a common occurrence in Western fiction– the rough country and the weather are part of the problem. The story takes place in a blizzard, adding to the overall tension.
I'm going on and on about the writing but I should add that Esteve Polls continues to hit it out of the park for me with his artistic take on the proceedings. He really sells the idea of cold and isolation with the trail-riding scenes, especially.
I'm assuming it'll get collected at least in paperback, and I hope you all check it out if you haven't already.
I look at these books and I look at my pull list and I think about the Marvel and DC stuff that gets hailed by critics as brilliant. I mean, I love what Mark Waid is doing on Daredevil and it would appear that he's about to re-invigorate the Hulk's book in the same way… but at the end of the day he's basically just looking at the characters and trying to do justice to them. The big innovation is that there isn't anything innovative. They're just really good Daredevil and Hulk comic-book stories. Sometimes they're even done-in-one.
Now, I think that's AWESOME. Don't get me wrong. I approve very strongly of comics like that.
But dammit, this shouldn't be best-of-the-year, it should be the baseline. This should be the minimum requirement of a comic book, to tell an engaging story well enough that a reader feels like he got full value. Even if it's a chapter in a longer story, it should still have some weight, things should move forward. It's kind of embarrassing to acknowledge the fact that it happens so rarely any more that when we get a superhero series that can manage that, it gets praised to the skies.
Look, I really love that comics are moving into the bookstore market. I am finding that most of my comics reading is done in the trade format these days, in book-sized chunks. Most of them– certainly anything by Jonathan Hickman or Brian Bendis– work better that way.
But I also think that I'd prefer a comics landscape where we had more books around like MacGyver and Chuck Dixon's Lone Ranger and the Mark Waid Marvel stuff. Good stories told well that don't just sprawl on and on… and if they do go five or six chapters, well, at least they feel like actual chapters and not just paragraphs. You know, I fell in love with comic books because of what they actually were, not what they could be. I still like seeing a kickass adventure story done in 22 pages…and once upon a time, I could count on it. No longer. Now it's something so rare that when someone comes along and does it at Marvel and DC, it's a breath of fresh air.
Maybe it's just because I came of age in a comics landscape where that was the norm, where a "continued" story was maybe two or three chapters at most.
There's a skill to compression. It's really damn hard to get it done in twenty-two pages, and it takes a real professional eye to get just enough story in there without losing the pacing or crowding out the art.
I don't know. Maybe it is becoming rare enough that the folks that manage it should be considered best of the year. I'm just glad they're still out there at all.
See you next week.
"…I fell in love with comic books because of what they actually were, not what they could be." This. In fact, that entire paragraph pretty much sums up why 'old-timers' like me stay away from the more recent super-hero output of the big two.
By the way, nice write-up on the Lone Ranger – it's really got me interested in looking into these (esp. if collected in trades), even though I'm not quite a big Lone Ranger fan. In fact, it looks like Dynamite has been putting out a quite a bit of good stuff over the past few years…
Greg, Get out of my Head! It is always disconcerting when someone posts something that 100% echoes what I feel about the current state of comics. The art of a done in one story is becoming a lost art. Even when there were the rare continued stories or long arcs in the older books, you still were brought up to speed. In most cases you could figure out what was going on (which was good when distribution of books were spotty or you missed an issue.) One thing I always liked about 60's Marvel was that you rarely felt lost when you picked up one individual issue. I didn't have the whole story and they sometimes ended on a cliff hanger but I rarely felt cheated and always wanted to find out what was happening next. Sometimes when I read the Essentials (In one sitting or large chunks) there is repetitive nature to long arcs but those books were never made to be read in chunks. The stuff today is made for long chunks but I rarely buy single issues of many series because they are not satisfying to read. Even in the bargain bins I rarley pick up current individual books unless I find a significant run. That being said I do buy Saga and a few other periodicals because in spite of the serialized nature I feel I get my moneys worth and I want to see what happens next. Wish that was the norm in mainstream books because I would buy more. Thanks for articulating some great points and for reviewing a couple of books I'll keep an eye out for. How about a column on crossovers you have liked or followed. (JLA / JSA team ups were always favorites).
"But I also think that I'd prefer a comics landscape where we had more books around like MacGyver and Chuck Dixon's Lone Ranger and the Mark Waid Marvel stuff.

I hope this paragraph has the hell quoted out of it. (That sentence makes sense, right?) What you say here is true. I've heard others complain about decompression, but you nailed it here. I'd add Busiek to your list of people who can do this well; I've been reading his Avengers stories. He did big sprawling epics… but every chapter was "big" in a good way. And Dixon has always been, if not amazing, at least dependable. Should we include Peter David as a writer that also gets it, generally? I haven't read a lot of his recent stuff…
With your love of "old school," have you tried the New Crusaders? Unfortunately,it does feel a bit written for the trade, but I've been loving the older-style family-friendly but not simpering or cute. But then again, I loved the !mpact line and went back to as many old Red Circle books as I could find, so I am SO the target audience.

In fact, it looks like Dynamite has been putting out a quite a bit of good stuff over the past few years…
I swear to God it's like Dynamite is basing their entire publishing strategy on my personal tastes. The new crossover book Masks is Chris Roberson's take on the Black Police trilogy, one of the most famous Spider stories ever done and my personal favorite… but with value-added Green Hornet and Kato, Shadow, Green Lama, Black Bat, and a new Zorro thrown in. Alex Ross does the art on #1. It's a good time.
I've noticed that I prefer comics from the 60s to 90s over the newer decompressed stuff. Comics are so expensive these days that they really need to focus on giving you enough story and value for your $3.99. I mean when I read a single issue of a comic from the 80s it takes me 20-30 minutes to finish it, today's comics take me only 5-10 minutes to read an issue. Today's comics for the most part are not satisfying reads, which is why I prefer to wait for the trade.
MacGyver is the first live action television show that I remember watching. I don't remember much of the show. Stargate made me a fan of Richard Dean Anderson, so I'd like to watch it from beginning to end some day. The comic looks nice too.
How about a column on crossovers you have liked or followed. (JLA / JSA team ups were always favorites).
Here it is. There have been a few since then– not many. Secret Invasion I liked a lot. And Masks, mentioned above, seems like it's made just for me. For JLA/JSA, well, I adored Crisis on Earth-X, with the Freedom Fighters. That's probably my favorite. The runner-up would be the one with the Robins, in 1969.
"In my perfect world someone would revive High Adventure comics as a Chuck Dixon/Beau Smith/Mike Grell anthology book with cowboys, pirates, and Mack Bolan-style mercenaries alternating as the leads."
I like this alternate universe you speak of. Please send me a forwarding address.
Hmmm, I just went and read that "old" column that you linked (posted before I discovered this site) and besides being surprised that there's no comments, I have to say: what??!! No love for Secret Wars I or II???!!!
But dammit, this shouldn't be best-of-the-year, it should be the baseline.
I do agree that Waid's DD is not reinventing the wheel, but I don't think there ever was a time when it was the baseline level of comics, especially not artwise.
Thanks for your link to the crossover column. I'm definitely going to have to make time to go through yor archives of older posts. Missed that one for sure since it was way before I discovered your column. Interesting crossovers you chose. I always liked the subtle Marvel crossovers like the FF issue (#73) where Spider-man, Daredevil (#38) and Thor (#150) appeared and they tied into the a couple of the character's titles.If you had missed their issues you would have missed some of the experiences of the other characters story, but still had an idea what was going on. (Thor was in the middle of recovering from a battle when he got involved with the FF and when the FF issue ends he goes back to continue the battle.) Not as blatant as Marvel Team up or Marvel Two in One (which I almost always enjoyed or flat out loved.) Always liked the early Spider-man Annual with the first appearance of the Sinister Six, because it had all the cameos by other Marvel heroes. Not a team up in the traditional sense but it had that shared quality of the Marvel Universe.

Same. I have installed 1.6.9 Version. When i deaktivate, Database is corrupt. I must delete database and import from a backup.
Same when i install the new 2.0.1 Version.
I use newest W 3.4-2
Unusable Software hen i no more can deaktivate.
WARNING: Dont use this software!!!!
I have found the error!!!!
It is an Error from Provider, to LOW MEMORY and the Software from http://getshopped.org/ wp e-commerce.
THIS ERROR IS NOT FROM BackupWordpress Software!!!
Sorry for my false warning.
BackupWordpress works perfekt now!

This version is also breaking my wp-admin area :-(
I have deleted the plugin via FTP, but still broken: http://indigobrazilianportuguese.com/2012/wp-admin/
Please help!
Hi Caroline,
Unfortunately, I had the same effect. Then I read the log files of the provider and see which plug-in is causing this error.
After delete this wp-ecommerce plug-in, everything worked again.
Good luck in the repair.
The new 2.0.1 Backup works perfect now, i use this great tool.
@CarolineElisa, BackUpWordPress doesn't have any known fatal errors, in all reported cases so far the issue has turned out to be another plugin / issue.
If you have deleted the BackUpWordPress plugin via FTP then BackUpWordPress can't be responsible for the error.
It is something in the BackupWordpress (BWP) plugin in my case. I deactivated all other plugins on my blog, and left only BWP activated. Then I updated the BWP from 1.6 to 2.0.1. Immediate 500 error.
I don't even use "Wp Ecommerce" as suggested elsewhere as the cause of errors.
Thanks Tom, but the first couple of times I removed BackUpWordPress and BackUpWordPress only the problem was fixed immediately.
Only the last time I tried that it no longer resolved the problem!
With a clean install I am now able to access the backend once again. Hooray! However I am now unable to run backups, automatically or manually: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-backupwordpress-automatic-backup-not-working-after-plugin-update
Hope you can help.
Scheduled backups have been fixed in 2.0.3.

I dont liked this idea, because I dont eat any meat :)
Is fish meat? It doesn't have fibers!
So you will base the idea on your personal preference? hmmm that doesn't seem objective.
I've seen this idea/visual a million times over. John West did it not so long ago.
salmon is eaten raw all over the world, and shrimp too, so it's not a japanese stuuf. I love raw salmon, and I'from Latvia.
Th rollover is wrong btw. This is not tuna - neither the fish nor the meat. It Is salmon.
I rather think it is good. The fish looks fresh, the fillings are nice and you get the best part of it - perhaps these are the important things to convey about sushi ?
~~this paranoid survived!~~
Since when do sushi restaurants (in Sandton) or anywhere else for that matter run print ads these days? Answer: just before the Loeries.
Too simple but good to convey the message !! but idea nolt fresh enough

Posted on 04/04/2013 7:28:41 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Microsoft faces a slide into irrelevance in the next four years unless it can make progress in the smartphone and tablet markets, because the PC market will continue shrinking, warns the research group Gartner.
It says a huge and disruptive shift is underway, in which more and more people will use a tablet as their main computing device, researchers say.
That will also see shipments of Android devices dwarf those of Windows PCs and phones by 2017. Microsoft-powered device shipments will almost be at parity with those of Apple iPhones and iPads - the latter a situation not seen since the 1980s.
In a new forecast published on Thursday morning, Gartner says that by 2015 shipments of tablets will outstrip those of conventional PCs such as desktops and notebooks, as Android and Apple's iOS become increasingly dominant in the overall operating system picture. Android in particular will be installed on more than a billion devices shipped in 2014, says Carolina Milanesi, the analyst who led the research.
Meanwhile a new category of "ultramobile" devices - such as the Surface Pro and the lighter ultrabook laptops - will become increasingly important as people shift towards more mobile forms of computing.
For Microsoft, this poses an important inflexion point in its history, warns Milanesi. "Winning in the tablet and phone space is critical for them to remain relevant in this shift," she told the Guardian. "We're talking about hardware displacement here - but this shift also has wider implications for operating systems and apps. What happens, for instance, when [Microsoft] Office isn't the best way to be productive in your work?"
For Microsoft, income from Windows and Office licences are key to its revenues: per-PC Windows licences generate about 50% of its profits, and Office licences almost all the rest.

I still think they can replace PCs with MS tablets in the Enterprise, but it will be a few years to transition.
We are already starting a trial at my company to replace some departments PCs with Surface tablets. We shall see.
1) While Microsoft dominates the PC market, it is a distant third in the smartphone and tablet markets. Latest figures suggest that Windows Phone, its smartphone OS, shipped on about 3% of devices in fourth quarter of 2012, compared to 20% for Apple's iPhone and over 70% for Android - of which 50% connected to Google's servers and 20% were "white box" Android phones in China which do not use Google services.
2) A key problem for Microsoft is that it is the people who don't yet own PCs - in emerging markets such as Africa and China - who are most likely to have a smartphone and tablet as their first "computer". They're starting with a smartphone, not a PC, so when they're looking for something larger, they look at something that's a replacement smartphone experience - which is a tablet or ultramobile device. And Android or [Apple's] iOS are the two that they're looking at.
3) Microsoft could then face the vicious circle where developers considering which platform to develop apps for look at those with the largest user base - and that that will not be Windows. By 2017, the number of devices being shipped with iOS, both iPhones and iPads, will be close to that with Windows and Windows Phone combined.
RE: We are already starting a trial at my company to replace some departments PCs with Surface tablets.
Why not iPads or Android based Tablets?
Microsoft Office.
Step 1: Write a word processing app that works.
December 2008 - Apple has just Killed Microsoft. (irrelevant in a year).
December 2005 - Microsoft to be Irrelevant Soon.
2004 - $2 Billion Payout to Sun makes Microsoft Irrelevant.
Hmmm - I think I like their odds.
Can't happen soon enough, always been a fan of the open software movement and Linux. Too many bug fixes in MS and huge hogs of resources.
I like MS Visual Studio.
I've been using the MS IDE for more than twenty years, and I've gotten used to it. For me, anything else (including NetBeans) is a PITA.
So, what happens to Visual Studio in the age of Tablets and Smart phones?
There is some truth to this, but it is a little exaggerated. Dealing with IT on a daily basis, I have seen the shift to tablets/smartphones, but people use them primarily for email and web browsing.
Almost every company has an internal program that requires some antiquated Windows application. More and more, I've had to set up VMs or other solutions to run these things, but they still use them on a daily basis. Heck, I still see *DOS* programs from time to time.
So, while Windows is fading from the personal/home market, it will hang around for a while in business environments. It might be used through remote connections from an iPad, though.
PCs aren't going to completely go away, just as mainframes will not completely go away.
They're doing it to themselves.
Microsoft is becoming completely irrelevant from an OS standpoint, because they're trying to compete with everyone on everything. If they focus solely on desktop and server operating systems, they might have a chance. Instead, they release another "beta" OS in Win8, a crap "touch screen" server OS in 2012, and a tablet that offers nothing new compared to the iPad or Google products.
My skills will go the way of the dodo, because I've staked my career on Windows product knowledge. I might do some consulting to get companies off of the old MS stuff, but I'll probably go into technical writing, my academic background.
They have tons of cash....they can buy brains with it...as long as they can do that, they will be around.
Anyone remember the Microsoft monopoly?
Google will go the same way, eventually.
But there's one monopoly that never goes away. The government.
"Microsoft Office."
Doesn't Google have most of this?
How about Apache OpenOffice? http://www.openoffice.org/why/
Plus, it is free. Now to one has to pay attention when downloading and installing it to get rid of the commercials but I have done it on a number of computers. The only thing it does not have is an e-mail model like Outlook.
.NET will be the new COBOL, maybe not the most hip technology, but millions of business systems will still be running on it for years to come.
I will add this, though...the move away from Windows desktops will save an incredible amount of money. So much of IT expenses go to just cleaning up desktop machines from spyware/junkware/etc.
Remember why Microsoft was successful in the Enterprise..."Nobody ever got fired for using Microsoft."
Did those departments dance around the table like they do in the surface commercial?
Heh heh, thankfully no.
Still waiting to see the mythical open source Exchange killer........
IMHO, the whole high tech industry is in danger.
Product life span is now so short that product development costs are not recovered in sales.
If you can't make a profit in building a widget, why have a company.
MS's problem is they still don't listen to customers and all the executives spend more time involved in social experiments than running their company.
I know there are good wp programs. It's just that MSFT doesn't have one.
Because they need real computers.
It's not competition killing Microsoft, it's Microsoft killing itself. Windows 8 is hated by most users. They changed closing a program from a single click to a click and a swipe. The goal is to make things quicker and easier, not more time consuming.
Microsoft was succesful in the enterprise because they worked at it. While IBM and MS were working to get PC's talking to IBM mainframes, Apple had nothing but contempt for the very idea. That was beneath them and they said so.
The only way that iPads and Tablets and mobile devices will replace personal computers is if they can find a way to shrink the human finger and reconfigure the human eye.
I forsee when tablets will have the ability to produce a holographic keyboard, that would be the size of a traditional keyboard.
the only reason I use Windows is Games ,getting games to run on Linux can be a real pain ,if they could make them easy to install and run like windows ,we would dump windows
Wonder how they can get the Surface to play with the XBox.
In the old days, it was not necessary to say "cursive" when referencing "writing". Just another dumb PC addition....
Their elephant is Excel, the most widely used app in the enterprise world. More than just spreadsheets, it's also imbeded marcos to call internal databases inside the firewall and external databases via the net.
It will take a long time for enterprises to wean themselves off Excel. Change is risk. There has to be a good reason for the the risk.
Now extending to tablets is a different question. Microsoft should concentrate on Office on Tablet functionality. Its their ace, play it wisely.
I'm a systems guy, so I'm accustomed to Active Directory, Exchange, and server OS. Knowing how reluctant companies can be to upgrade, I have no doubt that there will be plenty of work for me for a couple decades. I AM seeing a shift in server hardware toward consolidated platforms (i.e. Cisco blade systems), but the OS world will be hard to change for a while yet.
RE: More than just spreadsheets, its also imbeded marcos to call internal databases inside the firewall and external databases via the net.
Why can't Apple or Google create spreadsheet peoducts that compete with Excel?
Sure they can, but then you're going to have to port all of those old Excel macros over....don't see that as a real good cost/benefit trade-off.
IMO, the only thing that's at all interesting about MS Office is Access*, and with every new version they break the previous one. (i.e. importation-wise; I've not heard of a non-trivial DB/UI importing correctly.)
I'd much rather use WordPerfect than MS Word; I have a deep-seated resentment/aversion to PowerPoint (Army experience); and Outlook was craptacular [much of this is due to Outlook and Outlook Express being different enough that they really ought to have different names] last time I touched it; Excel... well, if you're not using it for finances you probably ought to be shot [too many admin/manager-types use it instead of DBs; I know I've had to deal with data-manipulation in spreadsheets that *REALLY* should have been in a DB].
* -- I'll give MS kudos for making DBs easily accessible, even if management-types seem to forgo it in favor of Excel.
>>> We are already starting a trial at my company to replace some departments PCs with Surface tablets. We shall see.
>> Did those departments dance around the table like they do in the surface commercial?
>Heh heh, thankfully no.
Dang! You missed a great opportunity:
"Yes. That's why it's so important that you don't neglect things like Dance-class while you're in College."
Microsoft bet big on the power of corporate inertia - and it has paid off so far with billions in Office upgrades and renewals.
Windows probably has no real future as a closed O/S, but it's all about how hard developers are going to laugh when they finally get a look at the internals. :)
For 500 years in the printing industry letters used for printing were called "typefaces," then along came PCs and everyone started calling them "fonts."
About the only deficiency it has is not being unicode; I find this understandable though, being a programmer, because transitioning to unicode is a big deal [lot of work] which would require a rewrite of things like basic search, and Corel has put WP into a corner and limited ongoing development/monies (Corel is really more focused on CorelDRAW).
I have no desire to work on a spreadsheet on a phone or a tablet.
I don't see it happening.
Let me rephrase that.
I don't see it happening until handheld devices can project a high-def image directly onto the user's retina, or into the user's visual cortex.
At that point, the PC - as we presently know it - will become obsolete.
One of the things that they do so wrong is in their slipshod work allowing things to [basically] be beta-tested as a finished product, making them usable w/ SP1. I would love it if they were to [internally] adopt a language designed to catch errors earlier (like Ada).
I have nothing to worry about because I work on the server side of IT, always have. Nobody is going to replace the UNIX and Windows servers where I work anytime soon. As for the client side - browswers, tablest i-phones - I do not care.

"My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So it was when my life began; So it is now I am a man; So be it when I shall grow old, Or let me die! The Child is Father of the Man; And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety." There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream, The earth, and every common sight, To me did seem Apparelled in celestial light, The glory and the freshness of a dream, It is not now as it hath been of yore ;- Turn whereso'er I may, By night or day, The things which I have seen I now can see no more. . . . . But yet I know, where'er I go, That there hath past away a glory from the earth. . . . . Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar: Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come From God, who is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancy! Shades of the prison-house begin to close Upon the growing Boy, But He beholds the light, and whence it flows, And sees it in his joy; The Youth, who daily farther from the east Must travel, still is Nature's Priest, And by the vision splendid Is on his way attended; At length the Man perceives it die away, And fade into the light of common day.

William Symonds, in his 1612 history of the Virginia colonies, also omits the Pocahontas episode, relating instead that Smith secured his release through his own clever connivance: "A month those Barbarians kept him prisoner, many strange triumphes and conjurations they made of him, yet hee so demeaned himselfe amongst them, as he not only diverted them from surprising the Fort, but procured his owne liberty, and got himselfe and his company such estimation amongst them, that those Salvages admired him as a demi-God. ...So he had inchanted those poor soules (being their prisoner) in demonstrating unto them the roundnesse of the world, the course of the moone and starres, the cause of the day and night the largenes of the seas the quallities of our ships, shot and powder, The devision of the world, with the diversity of people, their complexions, customs and conditions. All which he fained to be under the command of Captaine Newport, whom he tearmed to them his father; of whose arrival, it chanced he so directly prophesied, as they esteemed him an oracle; by these fictions he not only saved his owne life, and obtained his liberty, but had them at that command, he might command what he listed."

Hey everyone!
Two of the sites I run 'leostavern.com' and 'robertmcmillen.ie' are having a slight problem.
With Leo's, the main page isn't being updated by Google. When the site launched with WordPress, I had it set so that Google couldn't see the site, but then in Privacy, changed it so that it could be seen. Is there any code or file that may not have been updated?
With RobertMcMillen.ie, same scenario, but the homepage isn't showing at all.
I'm aware this is probably in no way a WordPress thing, but just in case, help needed! [=
Thanks so much!

BENEFIT FOR CARTMAN AND SCHROEDER'S MOM A cadre of local acoustic music and spoken word artists bring social action home in real, personal terms to help their friend Desiree Cross, who is undergoing treatment for leukemia at Grady Memorial Hospital. Emily Saliers, Kodac Harrison, Elise Witt, Matthew Kahler, Caroline Aiken and others share the stage to help out a singular instance that resonates with national concerns about paying for medical care. Two shows, doors open one hour before each. Children admitted free at the 6:30 p.m. "all ages" show. $20 suggested donation. 6:30 p.m., 8:30 p.m. Eddie's Attic. 404-377-4976. www.eddiesattic.com. -- Mark Gresham
NAS, TALIB KWELI These two have a lot in common, from their concern for their medium's future to the limber rhymes to the occasional lack of beats as inspired as their words. Nas spotlighted a conversation everyone was already having with 2006's Hip Hop Is Dead, and throws another brick with his untitled latest, which focuses on racism and stereotypes with palpable lyrical fury. Kweli's skills may be unmatched, but he's never produced the start-to-finish masterpiece of which so many think him capable, thanks largely to inconsistent, often unimaginative production. $37-$39. 7:30 p.m. Center Stage. 404-875-9364. www.centerstage-atlanta.com. -- Chris Parker
CONYA DOSS Raised on Cleveland Soul in its namesake city, Doss is touted as "soul's best-kept secret," but is increasingly visible among today's lead exponents of indie "nu soul," with hints of '90s R&B flavors thrown into a mix that underscores her vibrantly bright yet sensually smooth voice. Her fourth studio CD, Still, was released in April of this year. The show is hosted by MC/poet Spinxx. $20. 8 p.m. 21 and up. The Loft. 404-885-1365. www.theloftatl.com. -- MG
KT TUNSTALL This sassy young Scottish lassie took the music world by storm last year, one country at a time. Her energetic, intelligent pop songs created a foot-shuffling, butt-shaking movement, and she's riding a wave across America. Let's hope it lasts a while; she deserves it. $31.50-$35. 8 p.m. Atlanta Botanical Garden. 404-876-5859.

CROSBY, STILLS, & NASH Their unique harmonies and thoughtful lyrics are still the voice of their generation, albeit a pudgier, grayer generation. Some things are simply archetypal by nature, and the magic combination of CSN is one of those. At a time when the United States is going through some domestic and international craziness, they may once again be the voice of reason.

RETURN TO FOREVER It's not the original RTF lineup, but with founders Stanley Clarke and Chick Corea along with drummer Lenny White and guitarist Al DiMeola aboard, it's the "classic" version that sold the most albums back in the golden jazz-fusion days of the '70s. All have since become headliners but their fiery collaboration helped put jazz on rock lovers' radar and albums such as Romantic Warrior have rightfully become genre landmarks. Since this is likely a one-off tour, it's a can't-miss gig for existing fans and a rare opportunity for those who never thought they would see the band perform live. $34-$99. 8 p.m. Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center. 404-916-2800. www.cobbenergycentre.com. -- Hal Horowitz
ATLANTA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA How green is your orchestra? Because of the drought, the ASO has moved its annual Piedmont Park lawn concert to the paved Piazza at Woodruff Arts Center, to save the park grass from being stomped into oblivion. Mei-Ann Chen conducts a collection of dance-oriented music by Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Ginastra, Bernstein and others. The tree-hugging band also encourages concert-goers to take MARTA to the Arts Center rail station, right across the street from stairs to the Piazza. Free. 7:30 p.m. Sifley Piazza, Woodruff Arts Center. 404-733-4848. www.atlantasymphony.org. -- MG
PROJEKT REVOLUTION The main stage's a joke. Tour founder Linkin Park is approaching obsolescence quicker than the VCR, a fact acknowledged with last year's Minute to Minute, which all but shelves rap-rock in favor of one long (low) power ballad, whose gently undulating atmospheres suggest the neutered Britpop of tourmates the Bravery. Former Soundgarden/Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell's a versatile vocalist, but a mediocre songwriter. Rapper Busta Rhymes is a decade removed from relevance. The second stage is far fresher, with talented metalcore mavens Atreyu, romantic emo-poppers Hawthorne Heights and the tense, textured rock of Armor for Sleep. $20.75-$75.75. 2 p.m. Lakewood Amphitheatre. 404-443-5000. www.livenation.com. -- CP
VALIENT THORR, EARLY MAN This isn't just metal, it's titanium. Hirsute, denim-jacketed rockers Valient Thorr look like they came down from the mountain, instead of crash landing from Venus, as they aver. Their explosive power-metal licks, thundering rhythms and rebellious rhetoric suggest the MC5 schooled by Judas Priest. Early Man's bottom end throbs like a horny member amid a party of slashing thrash guitars stabbing pointillistic portraits of Ozzy. Expect a sweaty, wall-rattling epiphany clarifying the difference between live and Memorex. $12. 8 p.m. The Earl. 404-522-3950. www.badearl.com. -- CP
AMOS LEE Upping the energy level and shifting gears to a somewhat more blue-eyed-soul approach helps swing Lee away from the Norah Jones-styled folk-pop on his new Don Was-produced album. He's no Daryl Hall but his sensitive, grainy voice infuses just enough grit to keep the blandness at bay. That makes him the go-to guy for sensitive singer/songwriters, easy on the ears (and eyes) and perfect for Sunday brunch background. At his best he's better than that, yet there's a sense of restraint that prevents him from detaching from that established, commercially secure comfort zone. $25-$27.50. 8 p.m. Variety Playhouse. 404-524-7354. www.variety-playhouse.com. -- HH
RICHARD LLOYD One of the most distinguishing characteristics of the late '70s band Television was the unique guitar work of Lloyd, and to date, there has not been another player who has matched his unusual style and sound.

Regardless, this is a great opportunity to hear a real No Wave pioneer in an intimate setting.

TEN OUT OF TENN Stretch your dollar in this tight economy by catching 10 up-and-coming artists -- including a few young veterans -- from the Nashville singer/songwriter scene, for about a buck each. Semirecognizable names such as Griffin House, Butterfly Boucher and Trent Dabbs lead the pack with music that ranges from indie pop to folk and even rock, but tellingly not country. All are worth hearing and many have been critically, if not commercially, successful.

Richard Oland's body was found face down in a pool of blood. He had suffered 45 blunt and sharp force blows to his head, neck and hands
A series of apparent blunders — from cops using a nearby toilet to a senior officer traipsing onto the crime scene 'out of curiosity' — raised questions about the N.B. force
The lengthy trial, which began in September, heard from nearly 50 witnesses and revealed a case based on what the judge called largely circumstantial evidence
Oland told the jury in New Brunswick's Court of Queen's Bench that he and his father had an 'old school' relationship
Oland has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the death of his father Richard Oland, a well-known businessman whose family founded Moosehead Breweries
Oland has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the death of his father, a New Brunswick businessman, whose badly beaten body was found in his office
The conduct of a senior Saint John police officer was under scrutiny after a former staff sergeant alleged he was given advice on what to say when he testified
Sgt. Mark Smith said some of the 40 blows to Oland's head were caused by a hammer-type instrument while others were inflicted with a blade-like weapon
For the moment, the bombshell's only obvious purpose was to show that father and son deeply bonded over Oland family history, as if to suggest, what?, 'See, no killer here'
About an hour after he is alleged to have slain his father, Richard, in a 'rage' killing, Oland was captured on video shopping and looking fresh as a daisy

Diabetes Health Center
Once-a-Week Byetta Fights Diabetes
Sept. 8, 2008 -- A time-released version of the popular type 2 diabetes drug Byetta proved more effective for controlling blood sugar in a newly released study than the currently approved version of the drug. The new version requires just one injection a week instead of two shots a day.
If future trials prove as promising, experts say the once-a-week treatment could usher in a new era of diabetes treatment.
Diabetes Videos
Slideshows & Tools
Since its approval by the FDA in 2005, the twice-daily form of Byetta has quickly become one of the most widely prescribed diabetes treatments in the U.S.
Sales of the drug rose to $177 million nationwide in the second quarter of this year, according to figures from manufacturers Eli Lilly & Company and Amylin Pharmaceuticals.
But concerns about a rare but potentially deadly pancreatic condition potentially linked to its use led federal regulators to announce plans to strengthen warnings about the drug last month.
The new, time-released formulation of the drug has not been submitted to the FDA for review, but a spokesman for Lilly tells WebMD that this should happen by next summer.
"Type 2 diabetes is a tough disease to treat and the numbers are growing," says Lilly medical fellow John Holcombe, MD. "While this [once-weekly] drug is not yet approved and there is no guarantee that it will be, the results from the clinical trials are very encouraging."
Once-Weekly Byetta
In its currently available form, Byetta is most often used to treat patients who no longer respond adequately to oral diabetes drugs alone.
Unlike insulin and some other diabetes treatments, which can lead to weight gain, patients who take Byetta often experience significant weight loss.
But gastrointestinal side effects, including nausea and vomiting, are also common with the drug.
In the newly reported study, funded by Lilly and Amylin, 259 patients with type 2 diabetes were treated with either the once-weekly, long-acting form of the drug or the twice-daily version for 30 weeks.
Most of the patients in both arms of the study saw significant improvements in glucose control with treatment. But the patients who got the once-weekly Byetta injections showed greater improvement in a widely used glucose control measure known as hemoglobin A1c.

The Digital Public Domain: Foundations for an Open Culture
Date: March 2012
Creator: De Rosnay, Mélanie Dulong & De Martin, Juan Carlos
Description: Digital technology has made culture more accessible than ever before. Texts, audio, pictures and video can easily be produced, disseminated, used and remixed using devices that are increasingly user-friendly and affordable. However, along with this technological democratization comes a paradoxical flipside: the norms regulating culture's use — copyright and related rights — have become increasingly restrictive. This book brings together essays by academics, librarians, entrepreneurs, activists and policy makers, who were all part of the EU-funded Communia project. Together the authors argue that the Public Domain — that is, the informational works owned by all of us, be that literature, music, the output of scientific research, educational material or public sector information — is fundamental to a healthy society. The essays range from more theoretical papers on the history of copyright and the Public Domain, to practical examples and case studies of recent projects that have engaged with the principles of Open Access and Creative Commons licensing.

Does Every Research Library Need a Digital Humanities Center?
Date: February 2014
Creator: Schaffner, Jennifer & Erway, Ricky
Description: The essay discusses specific concerns of digital humanists in hopes of bridging the gap between how library directors and digital humanities researchers think. It suggests many ways to respond to the needs of digital humanists, and creating a Digital Humanities center is appropriate in relatively few circumstances. The essay recommends that a "Digital Humanities-friendly" environment may be more effective than a Digital Humanities Center but that library culture may need to evolve in order for librarians to be seen as effective Digital Humanities partners. The authors conclude that what we call "The Digital Humanities" today will soon be considered "The Humanities." Supporting Digital Humanities scholarship is not much different than supporting digital scholarship in any discipline. Increasingly, digital scholarship is simply scholarship.

Economics: From the Dismal Science to the Moral Science: The Moral Economics of Kendall P. Cochran
Date: January 2015
Creator: Cochran, Kendall P.
Description: Adam Smith published The Theory of Moral Sentiments in 1759 and established the ethical foundation for The Wealth of Nations (1776) as well as the important role played by custom and fashion in shaping behaviors and outcomes. Kendall P. Cochran believed in Smith's emphasis on value-driven analysis and seeking solutions to major problems of the day. Cochran believed that economists moved too far in the direction of analysis free of words like ought and should and devoted his career to establishing that economics is a moral science. A recent study by two Harvard professors, Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff, Growth in a Time of Debt (2010), asserted that healthy economic growth and high levels of government debt are incompatible. These conclusions are associated with the austerity movement, which calls for policymakers to reduce government spending in order to reduce the government's debt and improve long-term growth prospects. The austerity movement has been used to justify the sharp decline in public sector employment that has restrained job growth since the recession of 2007. In 2013, a graduate student named Thomas Herndon discovered an error in the calculations of Reinhart and Rogoff, publishing his findings in a paper co-authored by his professors, ...

Emulation & Virtualization as Preservation Strategies
Date: 2015
Creator: Rosenthal, David S. H.
Description: Between the two fundamental digital preservation strategies, migration has been strongly favored. Recent developments in emulation frameworks make it possible to deliver emulations to readers via the Web in ways that make them appear as normal components of Web pages. This removes what was the major barrier to deployment of emulation as a preservation strategy. Barriers remain, the two most important are that the tools for creating preserved system images are inadequate, and that the legal basis for delivering emulations is unclear, and where it is clear it is highly restrictive. Both of these raise the cost of building and providing access to a substantial, well curated collection of emulated digital artefacts beyond reach. This book advocates that if the above mentioned barriers can be addressed, emulation will play a much greater role in digital preservation in the coming years. It will provide access to artefacts that migration cannot, and even assist in migration where necessary by allowing the original software to perform it. The evolution of digital artefacts means that current artefacts are more difficult and expensive to collect and preserve than those from the past, and less suitable for migration. This trend is expected to continue. Emulation is ...

Twenty-something partiers can't get enough of the Underground Rebel Bingo Club, which hosts wild bingo-themed soirees in Williamsburg and Gowanus every two months. But Brooklyn still has plenty of high quality, traditional bingo contests for the purists out there. Here are some of the most popular bingo spots across the borough:
• Swinging Sixties Senior Center: The Williamsburg center's tri-weekly bingo games are friendly, laid-back and attract up to 50 players during the summer months. It's more exciting than taking a tour of the Brooklyn Brewery or shopping on Bedford Avenue.
211 Ainslie St. between Manhattan and Graham avenues. Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1:30 pm. (718) 963-3793.
• The Moxie Spot: Who said bingo is an old person's game? The Brooklyn Heights community center runs the borough's premiere kid-friendly bingo contest. Children aged four to 10 compete for toys, books and other prizes.
81 Atlantic Ave. between Hicks and Henry streets. Sunday at 6 pm. (718) 923-9710.
• Fifth Avenue Bingo Hall: One of the most competitive bingo halls in the borough. Hard-core gamers at the Park Slope venue square off six nights per week. Crowds are bigger here than they are at nearby Union Hall.
416 Fifth Ave. between Seventh and Eighth streets. Wednesday through Sunday at 7:15 pm. (718) 788-1691.
• St. Columba Roman Catholic Church: Classic church basement-style bingo at it's very best. Winning bingo at St. Columba is harder than shooting under par at the nearby 18-hole Marine Park Golf Course.
2245 Kimball St. between Avenue U and Avenue V. Mondays at 6:45 pm and Tuesdays at 11 am. (718) 338-6265.Reach reporter Daniel Bush at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling (718) 260-8310. Follow him at twitter.co

Nuclear Waste Disposal System: Great Idea?by Cosetta
Patent# US 6846967 also known as the Nuclear Waste Disposal System entered the world in 2005 and just won't leave.

Elder Driver Badges 'Leaf' Japanese Seniors Coldby Steve Levenstein
Anyone driving in Japan will soon notice curious badges on many of the other cars. Both are shaped like stylized leaves, with green & yellow (Wakaba) for first-year new drivers and red & yellow (Koleshiya) for seniors over 75. It's the latter that are ruffling a few feathers. After all, what person of advanced age wants to be likened to a dying leaf?

Showerhead with Removable Electronic Media Device: Great Idea?by Cosetta
Patent# US 682353, which refers to a Showerhead with Removable Electronic Media Device is probably as silly as any invention can be.

Remote Plastic Surgery: Great Idea?by Cosetta
Patent# US 6843793 known mysteriously only as a Surgical Instrument, is a highly complicated medical apparatus that entails the principle of remote plastic surgery. No, this is not done via a television remote or on an operating table in the rainforest in southwestern Borneo. It is, instead, a rather silly attempt to perform plastic surgery as a sort of game, like painting by numbers.

Carrie Underwood's stylist took the wheel on this one — and hit a home run.
The superstar, 32, stepped out on the red carpet for the first time since giving birth to son Isaiah Michael in February, looking radiant as she was warmly cheered by her peers and fans at the CMT Awards on Wednesday.
"Having a baby definitely changes your routine, and I have to work around his schedule," Underwood recently told PEOPLE of her exercise regimen while shooting the fall campaign for her new fitness line, Calia.
"Whenever he goes to sleep, I do the things I need to do for myself and make workouts happen when they can."
The "Good Girl" singer — who will perform her duet "Somethin' Bad" alongside Miranda Lambert — wowed in a Thomas Wylde dress and Jimmy Choo shoes, paired with Kimberly McDonald jewels and a Deepa Gurnani clutch.

Gingerbread Muffins
There's something magical about the smell of gingerbread welcoming guests as they walk through the door. This gingerbread recipe makes muffins, more so than a cake, because it calls for less sugar and a lot less fat than is normally used in gingerbread cake.
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup unbleached white flour
- 4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or substitute 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup sour cream (fat free or light) or plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup unsulfured molasses (mild flavor if available)
- 1 large egg, higher omega-3 if available
- 1/4 cup egg substitute
- Powdered sugar for dusting over the top of the muffins (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put muffin liners in 20 muffin cups.
2. In a small bowl, combine baking soda with boiling water and stir briefly; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flours, pumpkin pie spice, cloves, salt, and baking powder.
3. Fit electric mixer with paddle attachment. In large mixing bowl, beat canola oil and sour cream or yogurt on medium speed. Switch to low speed and add molasses, baking soda mixture, and flour mixture. Beat in egg and egg substitute.
4. Fill muffin cups each with about 1/4 cup of batter. Bake until the top center of a muffin barely springs back when gently pressed (about 22-25 minutes). Let muffins cool, then dust with powdered sugar.
Yield: 20 muffins

Police swoop after ambulance pain-killer thefts uncovered
- From: Herald Sun
- October 17, 2012
POLICE have arrested two men after the alleged theft of strong pain-killing drug fentanyl from Ambulance Victoria.
Detectives raided a property in South Melbourne yesterday morning and arrested a 40-year-old man.
Victoria Police also confirmed officers arrested and interviewed a 47-year-old Donvale man about the allegations on October 5.
Both men have been released pending further inquiries. Police have applied for a summons, which could mean they are charged at a later date.
"As the investigation is ongoing it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time," Victoria Police spokeswoman Anita Brens said.
The arrests come after allegations vials containing the powerful drug had been drained and filled with tap water.
Patients who needed pain relief may have received water from paramedics instead of the drug.
An Ambulance Victoria employee has been stood down pending an investigation into allegations they tampered with fentanyl vials. Fentanyl nasal spray is the first port of call when paramedics give pain relief.
Addicts have been known to use fentanyl - 100 times more potent than morphine - as a heroin substitute.
It has also been linked to a number of overdoses.
Ambulance Victoria chief executive Greg Sassella said all affected patients had been identified and contacted.
"We have been able to identify all those patients that may have come into contact with this issue and we have been in direct contact with them and we can assure them they are safe," he said yesterday.
"We apologise for any sub-optimal pain relief they had."
Mr Sassella said Ambulance Victoria has already responded to the theft by changing its protocols around the use of fentanyl.
"As of today we are the first state to introduce a new vial of fentanyl, it has less fentanyl in the vial and the vial has a more robust steel cap," he said.
He said Ambulance Victoria had previously contacted the drug's manufacturer to complain about the rubber cap securing the fentanyl vials, which can be penetrated with a syringe.
Mr Sassella said paramedics need electronic key cards to access the drugs stored in safes which are also monitored by CCTV cameras.

Know your goals, clarify your vision
Event Planning doesn't begin with choosing the date or the venue, or even knowing the performer you want - it begins with "why?" and for "whom?". The more clear your org or planning committee can get about your goals and visions for undertaking the task of planning an event, the more smoothly the rest of your plans will flow. Take the time, as a team, to answer some of the basic questions before jumping ahead.
What are your goals?
Determine the kind of event you would like to have, who you would like to attend this event, and what will encourage them to come. What do you most want to accomplish by hosting this event? Does the project relate well to your org. mission? What does the successful realization of your event "look like" in the imagination of your planning group? Do you have a "working title" in mind that communicates these ideas to the audience you hope to attract?
Who is on board to make it all happen?
Is it clear to all who is "in" and who isn't? Be sure planning members express clearly their level of commitment to the project and the nature of their available energies to see it through. Some folks may be able to help at different stages of the project, while others can commit to every step of the way - it is essential to know the realistic scope of your teams energies.
College policies and services require that a primary Sponsor ( a registered student org or MHC dept. accept the ultimate responsibility for hosting an event on campus, even if many collaborators are involved.)
Collaborations are great - large and small events can benefit from the inclusion of multiple sponsors. Co-sponsors can strengthen an event by the sharing of ideas, costs, and audiences, but clear communication about the role of each sponsor, and the pledged commitments of each is essential.The strongest collaborations are forged in the early planning stages and include the input of all parties.
