Beaumont/Port Arthur
With the saltwater fishing going full blast, there have also been many questions about deer range conditions. Certainly the rains that have been widespread have benefited all of the deer ranges. We all remember that by this time a year ago, we were well into a super drought. Many deer hunters are questioning the outlook for the upcoming hunting season.
Don't you just love a surprise in your garden? It's always a joy when just a few seeds hidden in an innocent looking mix of summer blooming beauties show themselves months or a year later. Each seed has its "time." Some bloom almost immediately while others might need a year to surprise you. The standing cypress is a great example of a seed that you could have long forgotten that you even planted. What a surprise to see it yard long spire just spring up one day covered with vibrant red, tubular flowers!

We all have experienced the loss of a friend or a relative. And while those instances are truly sad, there might come a time in our lives when we have to say "Goodbye," "I'm sorry" or "I will miss you" and move on to ensure our lives and our family's lives are safe.

... buried. The Jews also don't place living things on tombstones i.e. flowers because they die. So, instead they place stones on the tombstone (check out the pic). I reckon the cemetery was the most depressing part of the tour.

The prisoners that were gased often survived for 2-3 minutes however some laster longer (up to 20 minutes) and the bodies were covered in blood, vomit and excrement.

The production of biofuel from biomass waste is of great interest to the scientific community regarding the discovery of solutions to global energy demand and global warming. The pyrolysis of biomass to produce bio-oil is an easy, cheap and promising technology. In the current investigation, the pyrolysis of two different biomasses (cornelian cherry stones and grape seeds) was achieved at temperatures ranging from 300 to 700 °C. The effect of pyrolysis temperatures on the yields of each product was significant. The bio-oil yields were maximized at 500 °C for cornelian cherry stones and 700 °C for grape seeds. The compositions of bio-oils for both cornelian cherry stones and grape seeds were similar and contained mainly oxygenated hydrocarbons. The compounds observed in this investigation were composed of phenols, alkyl benzenes, alkanes, alkenes, fatty acids, fatty acid esters and a few nitrogen-containing compounds. Bio-char properties were amended in association with both the pyrolysis temperature and biomass type. Bio-chars from cornelian cherry stones contained higher carbon and lower oxygen levels than those from grape seeds under identical conditions. Increases in pyrolysis temperatures produced bio-chars containing higher carbon levels and heating values for both carnelian cherry stones and grape seeds.

It's a bit drying - wish it was richer. But skin looks pretty good the next morning after using.
I do not wish to write anything.
This is a good product but I find myself wanting to use more and may not be as good value of money for 40ml
The produce is brilliant, I can see improvements in my skin after using it for a few days. I also use the day cream.
After only one week i can see great improvement in skin texture.
Haven't noticed any difference or benefit of product
Smoothes out pores, helps to reduce pigmentation and makes the skin glow.
I love Caudalie products. Would recommend for all skin types. It really does what it says.
Really love this range. Leaves my skin hydrated and and much more radiant. Also a lovely texture.
Fast and reliable service, it took me few minutes to order and received the products after 2 days.
Service is good

I've found as a lawyer that I use historical analysis to understand and advise on proposed client deals and decisions.
Like business law, history involves gathering evidence principally documentation, putting it into order usually chronological, and letting examination produce results.
In business law this approach helps study proposed business and legal relationships. In history relationships can be between ideas, actors, forces and responses. In business law they involve entities, rights, obligations, and prohibitions. Same, same but different.
I read a lot of law and a lot of history, they inform each other. One of my favourite sources is the Conversations with History series on YouTube from the University of California, Berkley. It has a great format, a scholarly interview for an hour or more usually with a historian who has written a recent book.
A terminology issue exists in a contract if key terms are not defined or are poorly defined. Terminology issues are commonplace in technology and intellectual property (IP) agreements. To be meaningful these types of agreements require good situation-specific definitions.
This Mumbrella video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/TheMumboReport#p/u/7/TD153sb6SVg) illustrates that the practice of imitating popular supermarket products is rife at Coles. Coles no doubt checks the legality of each of its imitations.
Here's a few suggestions on how manufacturers and product originators can improve their legal protection. Each involves being a futurist in use of intellectual property law. Each involves the principle that it's better to design your IP than IP your design.
To prepare a letter of demand to protect a name you have two main tasks. Assume you claim ownership to the name and today discover a competitor using an identical or similar name. It might be for a similar business or for comparable products or services.
Task 1: First, gather facts by listing registrations you have for any relevant trade marks, company names, domain names or business names. You're sure to have some evidence here, maybe even if it is a product name or brand.
Task 2: Next, gather facts by listing your evidence of use of the name or brand in the course of trade. This task is difficult for many businesses.
One is for an established wealth management consultancy. Another for a supplier of hosted customised software.
Both require us to design and test like an engineer designing a car of the future.
The relatively easy bit is drafting legal wording for compliance with law and making legally effective agreements.
The hard bit is finessing and designing when and how each client will deal with its business tasks. That's the work that minimise the most risks. They are the client's practical tasks of writing business proposals, project plans, scope of work or specifications, and setting price expectations.
A prospective client this week sought to register a name as a business name or company name. He did his own online name availability search... or so he thought.
On seeing an identical name on a business name register in another state he wondered if he should still proceed with the target name. It was still available as a domain name and trade mark... or so he thought.
I wrote on this topic in What trade mark professionals do. Today I had to be blunt. Here's what I wrote.
1. Do people love work at your place?
2. Do people at your place feel their careers and the business is developing?
3. Are they trained to take both to the next level?
4. Are the paths for that clear to all?
5. Do the employment contracts align with those paths?
6. Is there credible evidence for your answers to these questions?
These question are focused on people. My personal experience points to people as the top priority. As further evidence let's see what two great inventors working with teams have said.
We've all learned a lot from Steve Jobs (1955-2011).
He's inspired a great deal of thought and writing on this Lightbulb law blog.
In memory of his unforgettable life and work, below is a list of my articles about him or shaped around his work.
He won't stop inspiring. Great people never do. Each time I look up at the clouds, he'll be beaming down.
Mobility and mobile device screens (smartphones, tablets, e-readers) make possible new functionality and uses for devices.
For example it would be useful to know how readers of The Australian Financial Review use their iPads, about 30% of them have iPads! It's a niche, and there are others hiding in research data.
What's exciting about facts like that is that for developers and their investors mobile device app, content or services development provides a point of market entry.
Software development is a field with many myths.
Here's three, following by a myth busting extract from an application development tasks list.
There's the myth of a first mover advantage. Very few successful IT companies were first in their field. Not Google for search engines, not Microsoft for PC operating systems, not Apple for phones or digital music players, and the list goes on.

Great game indeed. I truly enjoyed it. It was my first rent from Gamefly. It's been on my radar since it came out, but I never wanted to buy it because its so short. I loved driving around a lot even though others may find it mundane. I loved the story and missions. Just a great, fun, simple game that is quite enjoyable.
If you beat it on hard first, then it is pretty short. But if you go hard->easy, then it's a decent length. But throw all 3 DLC's into the mix, and it is actually quite the lengthy game.
Although I seem to recall the cops being far more observant in Mafia 1. I've gone through countless red lights etc. in Mafia 2 and only Joe seems to notice!
LOL, yeah they never go after you for that. Heck, you can even speed and they wont pull you over unless you go 10 over the limit. Or get to 20mph over, jam on the brakes, then speed, jam on the brakes, etc and they wont pull you over either.

I'm using the following code to get the images attached to a post and displaying them in a javascript slider:
if ( $images = get_posts(array(
'post_parent' => $post->ID,
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_mime_type' => 'image',)))
foreach( $images as $image ) {
$attachmentimage=wp_get_attachment_image_src( $image->ID, full );
$imageDescription = apply_filters( 'the_description' , $image->post_content );
$imageTitle = apply_filters( 'the_title' , $image->post_title );
if (!empty($imageDescription)) {
echo '';
} else { echo ''; }
} else {
echo "No Image";
This works perfectly, except that all images are retrieved from the post. I need to retrieve all images except the image I set as the featured image.
The reason being is because a customer of mine will be uploading the featured image as a different size and ratio to the other images and we can't have the featured image in the slider.
Is there a method of being able not to retrieve a specific image when retrieving images attached to a post using the code above?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

How do you get rid of the text inside the field box when you start typing? For example, "enter name here" stays there even when someone starts to type their name there. The only reason this is an issue is because I required the name and phone number and since the text I put in there stays there, it goes through even when the user doesn't actually input their own information.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Kernel 4817
im pretty sure this exploit should work with ALL xbox's but just to be sure update your dashboard via xbox live atleast.
go on update your dashboard (i used "splinter cell" to do this)
Ok now your first step is going to be to take the XBOX casing off and remove the Hard Drive (if you dont know how to do that check this out http://www.xbox-scen...cles/open1.php)
make sure your xbox is plugged in also (BUT DONT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE XBOX POWER SUPPLY)
Ok so now you have your XBOX casing taken off. now take out the hard drive (HDD) and unplug the power plug from it (LEAVE THE IDE CABLE IN FOR THE MOMENT). Make sure that you have your PC case open and your xbox right next to it (plugged into the tv aswell to make things easier). Now get a Hard drive power cable from your PC and plug it into the XBOX hard Drive. You should now have the XBOX HDD IDE cable plugged in from the xbox HDD to the XBOX itself and The Power cable from your PC running to the XBOX HDD).
<<<<NOTE!!! Make sure that you are using the SECOND IDE CABLE with nothing plugged into it (no cd-drives or hdd's) it has to be totally free of any other IDE device using that same cable>>>
Ok now Boot Up your PC. Wait for it to get to the point just before where it says "verifying Pool Data...." and press the pause/break key.
Ok now turn on your xbox and wait fo it to load up to the dashboard (make sure you dont have any cd's in the xbox).
Once Loaded unplug the IDE cable connecting your XBOX HDD to the XBOX then plug in your IDE cable from the PC to the XBOX hard drive. then press the "enter" key on your keyboard to continue booting the PC. You have now just completed a "HOT SWAP".
Ok wait for the PC to load into Windows. wait another 1-2 mins (this is usally needed to let windows detect the drive.
Now Open Up the Program "Called HDD Driver" (Yes the one you downloaded before attempting this).
Ok now if you have problems starting the program eg... "cant find Msvcirtd.dll" goto http://www.google.com and look for that file name. Download it and put it into the directory where the "driver.exe" is located (YES the HDD driver). It is also a good idea to update your MS Visual runtime files with the latest version located at http://www.M$.com
Ok so up comes the window and it SHOULD tell you that its found the XBOX Hard Disk. (if not try the hot swap AGAIN!)
click the ok button and usally a few errors will pop up ("invalid file size") ignore these and keep hitting "OK" until it gives you access to the drive (i only get about 5-10 errors).
If you dont do this you will be very sorry!!!
ok goto the "tools" menu and click Backup HDD.
Make sure you have atleast 11-12GB's on your normal windows partition for this.
ok proceed with the backup (this takes about 30-45 mins BUT DONT SKIP THIS OR YOU WILL BE F*****)
30 mins later....
Ok so now you have a backup. GOOD (wasnt that worth waiting for?)
the next thing to do is to extract the font exploit you downloaded previously. (can be found all over the place)
Now re-open the HDD Driver (it usally closes itself) and expand the "system" partition on the left. Ok there should be a whole heap of files in here (dont worry if it all looks corrupted its NOT) now you should see a "fonts" folder here (providing you have a newer XBOX version or you updated the dashboard using a XBOX live enabled game).
expand the "fonts" directory. there should be 2 files in there named "Xbox.xtf" and "Xbox Book.xtf". Ok now right click these files in the LEFT window (one at a time DUH!) and choose "properties" now chage the extension on each file from ".xtf" to ".old" DO NOT LEAVE THE .XTF EXTENSION ON THESE FILES!
I also found that those files were located in the main directory so i just renamed them aswell.
Now extract that Xploit file you downloaded earlier.
Now using the LEFT pane of the window go back to the "fonts" directory and right click it.
select the option "insert file". select the "Bert.xtf" (yes the one we downloaded and extracted) and insert it into the directory. do the same with the "ernie.xtf".
now browse back to the main folder (the parent directory for "fonts") and insert the file that we downloaded in our exploit pack "default.xbe".
Ok now shut down the PC and remove the hard drive. Put it back into your XBOX and boot it up without any cd's. it should Now come up with the evolution-X dashboard here you can now do lotsa cool stuff.
Ok now if youve buggered it up and you cant get back to your normal dashboard dont worry. i screwed mine up last night and was unable to "unlock" the HD for hot swap because i couldnt get into the dashboard. Ok all you have to do is boot up your console with a game disk when doing the HOT SWAP and just wait for it to load into the game. now your HD is unlocked.. PHEW!
there is ALSO another problem when it screws up once you go back to the HDD driver you will be bombarded with error messages but dont worry just ignore the errors and click the "tools" menu and select the Hard Disk Restore Option. this will make it so that your xbox is back to normal and so that you can try the process again as it wont give you infinite error messages next time you load the HDD driver.
Okies well i hope this has been helpfull for you ppl that have had as much trouble as i have had and didnt want to go out and buy 007 and a mega key or anything like that.
There are some AWFUL tutorials out there for doing this exploit so i decided to write one that WORKS!
please tell me if you have any problems with the tutorial.

thnx alot! Now to see if this works for me.

Sounds virtually perfect to me. Considering the lack of info on the HDD swap topic I'm pretty impressed. Might try writing up a simplified, cleaned-up step by step version of this soon.

| Wow... HDD swap part amazingly close to the simpler half-guess guide I wrote a few pages ago, aside from the fact that you don't really need to swap the Xbox HDD power cable for a PC one, as long as you keep the Xbox switched on while doing the swap trick.

You wrote the guide about HDD swap? Man, I must have been living in a parallel world, 'coz AFAIK, the HDD hotswap guide has been in existence for the longest time and the detail is exactly the same

You've misread that. I meant it as that I put together a much simplified guide (i.e. easier to follow) on the HDD swap trick under Windows by combining the little information there is on doing it without any modifications to the Xbox, and posted it for people to try.
I never claimed it was an original, I was just trying to give people the easiest possible step by step guide to doing it. I was working on `best guess` information, which was why I was pleased I got it right according to the above tutorial. I think I can rewrite this as a workable "idiot-proof" step by step proper tutorial that would be easy for the vast majority of people to follow. I'm hoping to be helpful while I'm here, as I've tried to be so far.
Apologies for any confusion, credit due to the various people who originally worked out that trick naturally. I just think we can improve the documentation on doing so which I don't think anyone would complain about right now.

|if anyone has problems with hdd driver (i'm sure there are loads of them) i suggest you use xlinux and burn the necesary files on a cd the mount both units (the xbox one with hot swap and the cdrom as usual) then copy the files on the cd to the xbox drive and renaming the fonts, to rename them you can use the command mv -a oldarchive newarchive
How do you do this? Can you boot into xlinux without putting anything on your hard drive first? If you could do that, it would be infinitely easier. Do you mean boot the xbox with xlinux or boot the pc with it?

btw: whats this HDD loader program for thing? I onley find px HDD loader and that file is a .ISO

13 Institutions Obtain Control Of Vast Bequest
By RALPH BLUMENTHAL
Published: May 4, 2001
In a sweeping transfer of charitable riches that will end a long-disputed system of gift-giving, 13 institutions ranging in size from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to two small Hudson River conservation groups will gain control of endowments totaling about $1.7 billion from foundations built on the vast Reader's Digest fortune.
An agreement, reached over months of negotiations and to be announced today by Attorney General Eliot L. Spitzer, will dissolve a structure investigated by his office. The arrangement brought the institutions $900 million over the past two decades, but raised complaints that the groups were deprived of the chance to earn millions more under procedures that benefited Reader's Digest.
The endowment gifts, heavily invested in Reader's Digest stock, were administered for the recipients by seven organizations under restrictions that impeded the selling of Digest stock. The shares plummeted in the 1990's as the stock market took off, but the arrangement buttressed the Reader's Digest at a turbulent time. The recipient groups, however, could only watch as they missed better investment possibilities.
Under the state charities law, fiduciaries like directors and officers of foundations may not use a donor's gift for purposes unrelated to the charity and must administer it solely for the benefit of the intended recipients.
By summer, the gifts should be fully distributed to the institutions and placed in new endowment funds named for the Wallaces. That will give the institutions complete control over the money for the first time since it was given by the Digest's founders, DeWitt and Lila Wallace, shortly before they died in the 1980's.
After the $1.7 billion held by the supporting organizations is distributed, the Wallace-Reader's Digest Funds will continue with prodigious assets of $1.5 billion, making the funds the sixth largest charity in the state and one of the wealthiest in the nation. In March the number of board members on each fund was increased to nine from five, one of several steps taken to solidify their independence from Reader's Digest Association, which publishes the magazine.
''The charitable entities that will receive the money will now be in a position to control their own fate and pursue their charitable ends in their own way without being dependent in any way on any control by Reader's Digest,'' Mr. Spitzer said.
The institutions say they are elated, although they will remain largely restricted to income from the endowments, and few were inclined to criticize their benefactors. ''They were expected to play along,'' said Daniel L. Kurtz, a former assistant state attorney general in the charities bureau and now a lawyer representing nonprofits. ''It was an awkward role for many institutions. They watched their portfolios shrink and couldn't unload their stock.''
David E. McKinney, president of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which stands to gain control of the largest single gift, $424 million, said, ''We're delighted.'' Although he said that ''it's not new money'' and noted that the museum already controlled the part of the portfolio not in Digest stock, he added, ''it's a positive development that we can now integrate the gift into our investment strategy.'' As for lost investment opportunities, Mr. McKinney said ''it's hard to say there's any unhappiness with someone who has been so good to the museum, but there was some uncertainty from year to year.''
Others benefiting are the Wildlife Conservation Society, which runs the city's zoos ($191 million); Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center ($100 million); Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn. ($303 million); and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation ($155 million). Lincoln Center's ballet, music, theater and two opera groups will share $312 million; and two Hudson River conservation groups, Scenic Hudson and the Open Space Institute, will each control $115 million.
''This puts us on a par with the biggest national environmental and conservation groups,'' said Fred Rich, president of the Scenic Hudson Land Trust, the group's real estate arm. By controlling its own endowment, he said, Scenic Hudson could better pursue its causes, including pressing the General Electric Corporation to clean up PCB's in the Hudson.
M. Christine DeVita, president of the Wallace-Reader's Digest Funds, also praised the outcome, while contending that the lack of Digest stock sales were investment decisions in which the institutions participated.
''I think it's absolutely win-win for all concerned and a tribute to the Wallace's philanthropic legacy,'' she said. But she denied that the attorney general's inquiry influenced the resolution. ''It was entirely voluntary by the Wallace-Reader's Digest Funds,'' she said, and added, ''the attorney general's review slowed down the process.''
Mr. Spitzer called that view ''laughable.''
Nell Minow, editor of the Corporate Library, a Web database on corporate governance and a Digest investor who had criticized the funding operations, called the transfer ''tremendous progress.''

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
Top Shelf points out that Cartoon Hangover has been adorably counting down to the Friday debut of SuperF*ckers, the online animated series based on the comics by James Kochalka. If you've read the series, which the publisher describes as "obscenely funny," or even just read about it, you have a pretty good idea what to expect from the cartoon: teen superheroes doing, and saying, bad and occasionally disgusting things. If that's not enough to sell you on the animated SuperF*ckers, it's produced by Frederator Studios, the folks behind Adventure Time and Bravest Warriors.
Tyson McAdoo didn't hang around long in comics; it's hard to find many credits for him, just a few inking gigs at the Big Two and Dark Horse. He's a man with an interesting life story, though: Training as a teenager to be a ballet dancer until he broke both knees, he chose instead to attend the Joe Kubert School, fell into work as a jobbing comic book inker, then onto steady employment in animation, where he now art directs for Cartoon Network/Adult Swim.
His parallel fine art career is similarly cross-cultural, drawing on the demi-mondes of burlesque, tattooing and skateboarding. His work over the last couple of years shows an interesting progression, initially producing pieces that looked very much redolent of the post-Timm school of sexy cartoon art (like a more baroque Shane Glines), his work has gotten increasingly painterly and expressionistic, and less about straight-forward stock pin-up poses. Even the fact that the guy has a day job producing commercial art aimed at the young and then spends his spare time producing very adult (his site's subtitle, "I kinda want to draw you naked" rather gives the game away there) fine art suggests interesting layers of dichotomy to the man. Plenty of examples after the break, and yes, some of it is NSFW.
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.

If I had $15, I'd get Remake 3xtra, the latest comic in Lamar Abrams' occasional superhero/manga satire. I'd also get Batman Inc. #5 to get another glimpse into the Gotham City of the future, where Damian has taken on his father's superhero role.
If I had $30, I'd check out Dante's Inferno, Kevin Jackson and Hunt Emerson's adaptation of the classic poem. The British Emerson has been around since the days of the underground, but he hasn't gotten much attention, at least on these shores, which seems odd given what a funny and facile cartoonist he is. He tends to fire on all cylinders when riffing on classic literature, too, so I imagine this will be a pretty great book.
Splurge: I don't own the hardcover edition, so the new paperback collection of the Complete Calvin and Hobbes seems like a no-brainer to me. On the other hand, Humanoids is releasing the Technopriests Supreme Collection, an omnibus, epic sci-fi story that is yet another spin off of Alejandro Jodorowsky and Moebius' Incal. This particular series features art by Zoran Janjetov.
Robot 6 favorite Kerry Callen posted a new strip online recently, a fine example of that classic comics trope so beloved of bloggers, superdickery, thus practically ensuring we'd run it here. Great technique meets great gag; Callen does an effortless job of riffing on Joe Shuster's style. See it in full below.
Publishers Weekly reports that Craig Thompson, creator of Blankets and the much-discussed Habibi, has signed with Scholastic to do a children's graphic novel called Space Dumplins. In a (NSFW) blog post last December, Thompson said he was working on three books: a children's graphic novel, a nonfiction book about "global trade," and an erotic graphic novel. Apparently this one has taken over, for now.
Thompson's agent, PJ Mark, describes the book as the story of "a little girl and her misfit friends who set out to rescue her father from the belly of a planet-eating space whale." Sounds like fun, and if there's anyone who can market the heck out of this book, it's Scholastic, which also publishes Jeff Smith's Bone, Raina Telgemeier's Smile and Drama, Kazu Kibuishi's Amulet series, and Doug TenNapel's Bad Island and Cardboard.
More than a year after Iron Man 2 actor Don Cheadle donned a green wig and body paint to play Captain Planet in a hilarious, and off-color, send-up for Funny Or Die, the Academy Award nominee is back, this time as the malevolent protector of a dystopian world in which those who offend him are transformed into trees. Or broccoli. Or bunnies.
The video ends with "To Be Continued," so hopefully we won't have to wait another year for the next installment.
Viz Media will at last synchronize the content on its digital anthology Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha with Japanese releases, beginning with the Jan. 21 issue. Fans had long been frustrated that the North American edition lagged behind its Japanese counterpart by as much as two weeks, and featured fewer series.
"North American fans have been waiting for a long time for real-time publishing to synchronize with Japan, and it's about to happen in Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha," Alvin Lu, Viz Media's executive vice president of publishing, said in a statement. "A robust Viz Manga digital infrastructure, combined with our close relationship with Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan allows us to close the gap in release schedules."
Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha will feature new installments of Bleach, Cross Manage, Naruto, Nisekoi, One Piece and Toriko on the same day as their general release in Japan. Monthly titles like Blue Exorcist, Rurouni Kenshin: Restoration and Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal will debut the Monday following their Japanese release.
Viz also will add more titles to the lineup, beginning today with Nisekoi, Naoshi Komi's romantic comedy described as a "laugh-out-loud feel-good manga series."
Awards | Although the website for the 40th Angoulême International Comics Festival is down, several outlets managed to pick up on the official selections for the 2013 festival, to be held Jan. 31-Feb. 3. Contenders for book of the year include Big Questions by Anders Nilsen, Daytripper by Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon, Fables by Bill Willingham, Matthew Sturges and others, The Hive by Charles Burns, The Nao of Brown by Glyn Dillon, Paying For It by Chester Brown, and The Walking Dead Vol. 16 by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard. Fatale Vol. 1 by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, and The Green River Killer by Jeff Jensen and Jonathan Case were among those named in the crime comic category. [BoDoi]
Publishing | Bluewater Productions Publisher Darren G. Davis isn't afraid to talk about real numbers: Bluewater's income is about $2 million a year, and the most popular titles sell 5,000 to 10,000 copies apiece, although others never make it out of the triple digits. And while he admits he doesn't have a thick skin, Davis says he has gotten used to criticism: "I've learned that I'm not my company. When they attack my company, they are not attacking me personally." [The Columbian]
Storytellers fascinate me, a fact that is hopefully obvious given my affinity for interviewing them. Over the years, I have mined creators for information to varying degrees of success — some folks want to open up, others … not so much.
Chris Wright, writer/artist of Blacklung, showed a willingness to discuss his creative process to an extent I rarely get — and for which I am eternally grateful. Case in point of the quality of his answers, consider this one-sentence excerpt: "I love Tchaikovsky, and Mahler, and Tom Waits, and Leonard Cohen, and Cormac MacCarthy, and Tarkovsky." All that in one sentence. Blacklung, which was released Nov. 7 by Fantagraphics, was best described by my Robot 6 pal Chris Mautner as "a bloody seafaring tale about a man determined to do what it takes to meet his dead wife in hell." Wright's debut graphic novel is part of today's Fantagraphics Cyber Monday Sale. If you want to get a taste of the novel, Fantagraphics offers a 12-page/4.9 MB Blacklung excerpt for consideration.
Tim O'Shea: This book is dedicated to the late Dylan Williams. Can you talk a little bit about the impact that Williams had on your career?
Chris Wright: I don't know if it's so much about "career." I mean, Dylan was a guy who touched a lot of people, and I was sort of on the periphery of that. I didn't know him as well as I would have liked, but he saw my stuff around, and offered to put a book of my work out, and that book became Inkweed, which is kind of a menagerie of short stories, and drawings. I'll always be grateful to him for that book, and for his interest and encouragement in general.
Richard Bruton draws our attention to Your Days Are Numbered, a London-based free quarterly "graphic fiction magazine" chock-full of interviews and illustrations, all presented in a smartly designed package. The current issue (the fourth), which you can browse below, includes interviews with the likes of Brandon Graham, Chris Ware and David Ziggy Greene (who also provided the cover art).

"I think the digital playground is still working out its own rules for comics and the best ways in which to incorporate comics. The conceptual problem is that when a new delivery system comes up, everyone tries to shove previous content into the new venue without understanding the benefits of the new form, like trying to shove a square peg into a round hole. It's not just a new distribution system, it's a new system, and you have to adapt and create something new and suited to its rules. When television was aborning, the fledgling networks brought in radio drama writers who wrote dramas or variety shows that were structurally identical to what they'd done in radio; playwrights brought in from New York to give the new form legitimacy wrote one-set or two-set plays that could have been produced on any stage, they just filmed the play. Digital comics = the filmed play. We're not there yet. But we'll get there."
– J. Michael Straczynski, on the state of digital comics
The University of Kentucky has developed an awesome tool for making the periodic table of elements fun. The Periodic Table of Comic Books allows users to click an element and discover comics that talk about it, while also reading analyses of how scientifically accurate those comics are.
It's still a work in progress, so there aren't yet entries for say, meitnerium or astatine, but there are a surprising number of references for elements like hafnium and lutetium in addition to expected ones like oxygen, nitrogen, and – of course – krypton. As an example, below is Scrooge McDuck talking about lithium, but there are also fun examples of Jimmy Olsen looking for germanium and the Beyonder turning an office building into gold. A fun, educational way to kill some time.
Ryan North's (Dinosaur Comics, Adventure Time) Kickstarter for his illustrated prose book, To Be or Not To Be is way past being fully funded with 24 days still to go, so this isn't a plea for action so much as it is a public service announcement. Because, dude …
North is putting together something that he can't call Choose-Your-Own-Adventure for legal reasons, but totally is, only it's for grown-ups, based on Hamlet, allows you to play as various characters including the ghost, and is illustrated by an insane line-up of artists like Kate Beaton, Chip Zdarsky, Chris Hastings, David Malki, Dustin Harbin, Jim Zubkavich, Kazu Kibuishi, Ray Fawkes, Vera Brosgol. … Seriously, I'm going to embarrass myself by leaving someone awesome out and the list is loooong. Check out the Kickstarter page for the full scoop.
$15 gets you a PDF copy, but $20 gets U.S. residents the PDF and a paperback copy too. Backers outside the U.S. are asked for a $30 pledge to cover shipping costs. And of course there are other goodies for pledging more.
Last week, a reader alerted The Beat that there's a grace period for returning DC Digital Comics on Amazon, just like other Kindle titles. Heidi MacDonald pointed out that, "in theory, someone could buy this week's DC lineup for Kindle, read them and return them."
Although commenters point out the folly in actually trying that (and Heidi specifically discourages it), it got me thinking: Why shouldn't comics be returnable? I mean, we could put whatever restrictions on it you like, but my question isn't so much about policy as it is about why people buy periodical, single-issue comics in the first place; particularly, monthly superhero comics. I agree that it would be a crappy thing to read and return a publisher's entire weekly lineup. My question is: Why is that even a temptation?
Although we compiled a list of Cyber Monday sales on Sunday, it looks like the comics-related savings don't end there. Here are some more deals for you to take advantage of today (and in one case, beyond):
• In addition to its continued "Blackest Friday" sale, comiXology today is offering 99-cent digital editions of Marvel's Avengers titles, 50 percent off select IDW Publishing comics, and up to 80 percent off select Dynamite Entertainment collections.
• NBM Publishing is giving 20 percent off all orders of $20 or more from its web store (enter code "112").
• The DC Entertainment web store is touting "Cyber Monday Madness," with savings of up to 85 percent on collectibles, DVDs, jewelry and more.
• David Petersen is looking well beyond Cyber Monday with a 10-percent discount on orders from the Mouse Guard online store through the end of the year (enter code "mouseguard").
• And don't forget that some of the sales we mentioned last week — BOOM! Studios, Oni Press and Robert Kirkman's Skybound, notably — continue through the end of the day.

Currencies |
* Gold takes breather after Friday's near 7-month high * Futures investors could sell as Oct options set to expire * Palladium records biggest one-day drop since March (Adds details, graphic link, updates market activity) By Frank Tang NEW YORK, Sept 24 Gold fell on Monday, retreating from the previous session's nearly seven-month high as broadly lower crude oil and grain prices prompted investors to take profits. Palladium dropped 4 percent for its biggest one-day decline since March on signs of platinum output returning to normal in top producer South Africa, triggering heavy speculative selling. Traders said volatility could increase ahead of Tuesday's U.S. COMEX gold option expiration, while open interest in U.S. gold futures rose to a one-year high for a third straight session. Bullion's rally is showing signs of fatigue after five straight weeks of higher prices. Repeated failures to break above key technical resistance above $1,790 an ounce to set a new 2012 high also prompted some investors to lessen their bullish bets. "There is no question that gold is consolidating its recent gains, but every dip seems to be bought," said Anthony Neglia, president of Tower Trading and COMEX gold options floor trader. Gold could come under pressure as current prices may be too far away to reach the popular $1,800 call strike at Tuesday's option expiry, and that could prompt some disappointed futures investors to sell, Neglia said. (COMEX options: link.reuters.com/sad82t) Spot gold was down 0.6 percent at $1,762.20 an ounce by 2:11 p.m. EDT (1811 GMT). On Friday, gold hit a high of $1,787.20, just short of this year's peak of $1,790.30 reached on Feb. 29. U.S. COMEX gold futures for December delivery settled down $13.40 an ounce at $1,764.60. Trading volume totaled around 150,000 lots, in line with its 30-day average, preliminary Reuters data showed. Silver fell 1.5 percent to $33.91 an ounce. COMEX futures' open interest, which measures outstanding long and short contracts, rose to a one-year high of 488,070 lots as of Friday. Open interest in U.S. gold futures has gained about 25 percent in the past 30 days. Weaker commodities, led by a sharp pullback in crude oil amid a higher dollar, also weighed on gold. GOLD ETF HOLDINGS APPROACH RECORD Despite Monday's pullback, the price of gold has gained more than 10 percent after the U.S. Federal Reserve this month said it would buy $40 billion a month in mortgage-backed debt until the job market outlook improves substantially. "A lot of (investors) bought ahead of the announcement, and now they're selling out again to lock in the gains," HSBC analyst Howard Wen said. Holdings of gold-backed exchange-traded funds tracked by Reuters rose by nearly 330,000 ounces on Friday to 73.748 million ounces, climbing back toward the previous week's record high. The bulk of inflows were seen into the world's largest gold ETF, SPDR Gold Trust. Platinum fell 1.2 percent to $1,617.49 an ounce, while palladium slid 4.1 percent at $641.30 an ounce for its biggest one-day drop since early March. The premium added to platinum group metals by labor unrest in South Africa has shrunk, analysts said. Weeks of sometimes-violent protests killed 45 and sent platinum to multi-month highs. 2:11 PM EDT LAST/ NET PCT LOW HIGH CURRENT SETTLE CHNG CHNG VOL US Gold DEC 1764.60 -13.40 -0.8 1757.90 1775.30 123,655 US Silver DEC 33.984 -0.654 -1.9 33.630 34.585 42,759 US Plat OCT 1622.00 -15.60 -1.0 1608.00 1637.10 12,367 US Pall DEC 645.50 -26.05 -3.9 633.80 675.85 6,469 Gold 1762.20 -10.24 -0.6 1756.15 1772.89 Silver 33.910 -0.510 -1.5 33.650 34.520 Platinum 1617.49 -20.01 -1.2 1611.75 1630.49 Palladium 641.30 -27.30 -4.1 637.02 670.00 TOTAL MARKET VOLUME 30-D ATM VOLATILITY CURRENT 30D AVG 250D AVG CURRENT CHG US Gold 148,535 149,108 183,635 17.33 0.14 US Silver 45,554 58,187 53,201 28.29 -0.87 US Platinum 20,356 19,084 9,341 23.47 -0.11 US Palladium 6,507 8,428 4,657 (Additional reporting by Jan Harvey in London; Editing by Phil Berlowitz and Dale Hudson) (firstname.lastname@example.com; +1 646 223 6126; Reuters Messaging: email@example.com)

Rockford Fosgate Power T1000-4AD
I purchased two T1000-4 ad one to run my 4 tower speakers at 4 ohm and the other one to run my 8 components inside the boat at 2 ohm and I purchased T1500-1bd for my two L7 subs. Amps are really good they put out a lot of clean power at high volume volume. Just make sure you have your amp gains set right. I would recomand either of these amps to anyone. I am JL audio FAN and I always used JL Amps. Only reason I did not use them this time was because my tower speakers needed 200w RMS. Hands down this is an awesome amp and if I do another boat down the road Ill use these amps again. I play music with these amps sometimes 8 HRS straight at 90% volume no problems what's so ever. Keep in MIND I do live in PHOENIX where out side temps reach 110+ and amps are stored where air and water cant get to unless I have fan running. I plan to install small fans to keep them cool. but these last 4 weekends I been using them without fans * hrs straight and AMPs did not clip or over heat. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo YES THEY ARE BAD Boys GET THEM u will be happy with them.
Pros: REALLY GOOD AMP, CLEAN POWER, They put out more than 250RMS my Sheet Said 290wRMS at 4 ohm
Cons: I wish amp was little bit smaller because its 15 inches long, Gain Adj are on the side I wish they were facing up it would be easier to adj -- and last thing is HEAT these amps do run HOT so don't freak out. if you touch it and its hot. They run Hotter than new JL Audio AMPS But they do put out TWICE the amount POWER :)
