Union Township, Clarence E. Combs, Mt. Moriah Cemetery
686 Mt. Moriah Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio 45245 (513) 752-1773
Office Hours: Monday - Friday, 7:00 am - 3:30 pm
" To operate and maintain an historic burial ground in a park-like setting, with a commitment to preserve and honor the heritage of past generations, to service and respect the needs of the present generation, and to provide a legacy for future generations".
Mt. Moriah Cemetery records are now on-line and can be accessed by the cemetery search link. Locate your loved ones, and submit memories, stories, and photos. There is also a mobile app on the Apple app store making it more convenient for you to find your loved ones.
The Clarence E. Combs, Mt.Moriah Cemetery is owned and operated by the Union Township Board of Trustees, Clermont County, Ohio. It is situated on land purchased in 1800 by Withamsville founder, Maurice P. Witham. Mt. Moriah Cemetery began as a graveyard on the Witham farm and eventually surrounded the Methodist Protestant Church of Tobasco, later known as Mt. Moriah United Methodist Church. The "Old Section" of the cemetery is located behind the white chapel built in 1842. In front of the chapel "The Black Line" ran on the original Ohio Pike. Presently Mt. Moriah Cemetery includes over fifty acres of rolling hills. The entrance to the cemetery is enhanced with an ornate iron fence, originally installed in 1880. Mt. Moriah Cemetery is graced with large shade and evergreen trees, sparkling pond, lovely gazebos, chapel, cremation scattering garden, niche columbarium and restful meditation areas.
Interred at Mt. Moriah Cemetery are some prominent pioneers and citizens dating back to the early 1800s. The Honorable, Dr. William Doan (1792-1847) was an eminent physician. He was also a Representative and Senator in the Ohio Legislature, and a member of Congress from 1839 to 1843. Politician, Charles Cyrus Kearns (1869-1931) was a Republican and U.S. Representative from Ohio 6th District (1915-1931). Dr. Elisha Bennett(1809-1881) was one of the oldest practitioners of this county. In 1851 he was elected a Representative from Clermont County to the 50th General Assembly of Ohio by the Democratic Party. Also interred at Mt. Moriah Cemetery is the Witham family, along with the Stocktons. Sarah Stockton's grave (1745 – 1813) is the oldest known marked grave in the cemetery.
The Clarence E. Combs, Mt. Moriah Cemetery has been carefully maintained to ensure the beauty and serenity for future generations.
"Clarence E. Combs" was added to the title of the cemetery in 1998. Clarence E. Combs (1916-1999) was a dedicated employee, then Sexton of the cemetery for approximately 50 years. He is interred at Mt. Moriah Cemetery.
A momentous occasion for Mt. Moriah Cemetery was accreditation by the American Public Works Association on July 29, 2011. As a division of the Service Department, the cemetery performed a self-assessment of fourteen practices. Some of these practices were interment, disinterment, lot numbering, section renovation, security, and foundation installation. Policies and practices were reviewed that govern the cemetery. The APWA accreditation team awarded Mt. Moriah Cemetery full compliance for all fourteen of their practices. A second momentous occasion occurred on July 7, 2015 when Mt. Moriah Cemetery was awarded re-accreditation. Once again, Mt. Moriah Cemetery was awarded full compliance for all fourteen of their practices.
Located beyond the ornate black and white cast iron fence of Mt. Moriah Cemetery is the Mt. Moriah Cemetery chapel, which was originally built in the 1970s. The red brick chapel is surrounded by tall evergreen trees and beautiful red "knockout roses". Annual flowers of pink petunias, red geraniums and yellow marigolds grace the front landscape areas. The flagpole continually waves the American and Ohio State flags. Adjacent to the flagpole is a veterans' memorial which reads, "1941-1945 In Memory of these men who gave their lives for freedom in World War II, Alvin Earl Beard, James C. Butts, William A. Rolke, Loren Hoderlein, Merle Pattison, Albert Wienner." The interior of the chapel has been renovated to create a serene and reflective environment. The walls are painted pale blue and bordered at the top with white trim. New blue carpet has been installed to complement the pale blue walls. A special addition to the chapel has been the installation of eight pews. The dark wood of the pews is enhanced with new dark blue upholstery. The sanctuary contains a podium for services. Tall silk trees in silver containers and framed photographs of the cemetery complete the meditative environment. Families are welcome to use the chapel at any time during the year for funeral services. It is non-denominational and free of charge. The chapel is especially convenient when there is undesirable weather, and families would like to gather inside. It accommodates approximately 35 people. The chapel is a wonderful addition to Mt. Moriah Cemetery.
Located in Mt. Moriah Cemetery are three beautiful gazebos for families to enjoy. Surrounded by red, "knockout" roses, and enhanced with hanging flower baskets during the summer, the gazebos are perfect places where people can relax and meditate. A large, spacious gazebo is located on the east side of the cemetery by the pond, while two beautiful white gazebos are located on the west and north sides of the cemetery. Families are welcome to use the gazebos for funeral services at no charge. For further information contact the cemetery office at 752-1773.

The land for the park includes a previously owed tract of land by the township, and a generous donation of land by Mr. Stanley E. Wilfert. The total area for the park is approximately 2.27 acres. The area is carved partially from a grove of oak and maple trees, with the majority of the grounds left in its natural state. The main entrance is located on the west side of the park, off of an access roadway leading from Mt. Moriah Drive into the cemetery. Off of this roadway, parking spaces are available for those visiting the park. The large main entrance of the park leads to an "Outdoor Wedding Cathedral", which includes a circular area that provides for elevated seating and a majestic, granite altar. This cathedral is incorporated into the natural setting which is spectacular for outdoor weddings. Winding through the woods are lighted concrete trails which are handicap accessible. The trails lead past stately monuments. Granite benches are placed throughout the woods for visitors to rest and reflect. In addition there are restrooms and drinking fountains which are also handicap accessible. Park visitors can seek solitude to meditate and remember their loved ones, family and friends, or simply enjoy the rustic, tree lined environment. The park is available for use by the community for services, weddings and funerals. For additional information please call the cemetery office at (513) 752-1773.

Notre Dame again finds itself in the harsh spotlight of student safety concerns following an allegation of a sexual attack, and later, a student's suicide.
A freshman student at nearby St. Mary's College apparently killed herself days after filing a report to Notre Dame campus police, alleging she had been attacked by a Notre Dame football player, the Chicago Tribune reported.
The accused man has continued to play for Notre Dame, and now, the football coach is defending the university's actions in connection with the Aug. 31 incident.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Coach Brian Kelly said the allegations were "a university matter," and not under his purview. He also said the university is following the proper course "to dispel rumors and misinformation and get to the facts."
The woman, Elizabeth "Lizzy" Seeberg, apparently overdosed on prescription drugs in her dorm room on Sept. 10, according to the report.
Seeberg's parents have hired a former federal prosecutor to look into the matter. So far, Notre Dame has refused to publicly acknowledge the case, nor detail what actions they've taken, the Tribune reported.
County officials also told the paper that Notre Dame did not tell officers investigating Seeberg's death about the allegations she made.

A line of commuter-transporting, 16-ton tranks took to the streets of London earlier today to carry commuters to work and celebrate the release of Battlefield 3 in the UK.
The "tanksis" didn't charge any fares for navigating the packed streets around Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Westminster, and Buckingham Palace.
"Tanksis have been brought to the Capital to make the urban battlefield that is London's roads more of a joy than the daily chore they currently are," said Electronic Arts' Tom Goldberger. "We wanted to launch Battlefield 3 in style and are looking forward to ferrying excited game fans and commuters around the city today."
Battlefield 3 hit the UK today on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

WALTHAM, Mass. — Four Brandeis University men's basketball players scored in double figures tonight, offsetting a career performance from Bates junior Graham Safford as the Judges defeated the Bobcats, 83-78, in a final non-conference tune-up for both squads in Red Auerbach Arena tonight. Brandeis winds up its non-league schedule with an 8-3 record, while Bates will carry a 7-4 mark into conference action.
Four Brandeis seniors combined to score 59 of the team's 83 points. Leading the way was shooting guard Derek Retos (No. Attleboro, Mass./Brimmer and May), who had 18 points, including 10 in the second half. Retos hit 4-of-9 from 3-point range, giving him 183 trifectas for his career. He is now four shy of catching Kevin Olson '09 for third place on Brandeis's career list. Retos also hit 6-of-6 from the free-throw line and is poised to surpass Olson as the University's top career foul shooter. He is 98-106 for his career (92.5%), needing to hit two more from the stripe to take over the career lead. Retos's 18 points off the bench was six more than the entire Bobcat reserve corps, as Brandeis owned a 32-12 edge in bench points.
Also in double figures was Ben Bartoldus (Hillsborough, N.H./Proctor Acad.), who hit 5-of-10 overall with a 3-pointers, and 5-of-5 from the line. Bartoldus's team-high 12 first-half points included a pair of athletic dunks. Guard Gabriel Moton (St. Petersburg, Fla./St. Petersburg) added 13 points, while forward Alex Stoyle (Goffstown, N.H./Tilton School) had 12, including the first seven of the game and five more to start the second half, for the Judges.
Brandeis outrebounded Bates, 39-33, with senior center Youri Dascy (Fall River, Mass./St. Andrew's School, R.I.) coming off the bench with seven boards – including three on the offensive glass - in just 11 minutes. Moton added six rebounds. Retos tied with rookie reserve Tim Reale (Mason, Ohio/St. Andrew's School, R.I.) with three assists, while sophomore forward Kevin Trotman (Bristol, Conn./Taft School) had three tremendous blocked shots.
The Brandeis win overshadowed the fine performance from Safford, who scored a career-high 33 points, 18 coming in the second half. Safford hit 13-of-21 overall, 5-of-11 from downtown and 2-of-4 from the line. He also had a game-high six assists. Sophomore Mike Boornazian had a double-double – his fourth of the season - with 16 points and a game-high 10 assists, while junior guard Billy Selmon had 11 points and five steals for the visitors.
The game featured six ties and 11 lead changes. Brandeis looked to take control early, when the Judges scored 14-straight points over a stretch of just over four minutes. Bartoldus's only 3-pointer of the game with 8:37 left put the hosts ahead 32-19. The teams traded free throws on their next two possessions, but the Bobcats caught fire from long distance over the final 7:46.
Selmon and Safford each connected on 3-pointers to get Bates back within seven. Brandeis scored next to slow the momentum, but successive turnovers saw Selmon take a steal and lay-up to the rack to answer back. Junior Adam Philpott was the third different visiting player to dial long distance in the stretch, getting Bates within 36-32 with under three-and-a-half minutes to go. After a Bartoldus lay-up made it a six-point lead for Brandeis, two Boornazian free throws cut into the lead. Safford looked to steal the show by connecting from deep twice after back-to-back Brandeis turnovers, giving the Bobcats a 40-38 lead with a minute to go. Bartoldus, not to be outdone, slammed home his second dunk, while Retos hit from 27 feet out as time expired to give Brandeis a 43-40 lead at the intermission.
In the second half, Stoyle hit a bomb to open the scoring and give the hosts a six-point edge. The Judges still led by five after a Moton trifecta at the 17:09 mark, but a Malcolm Delpeche put-back, a coast-to-coast drive by Safford and a Selmon steal that led to a Boornazian lay-up gave Bates a 52-51 edge just under four minutes into the second.
Retos answered with a 3-pointer, and the lead changed hands two more times. After a Safford lay-in put Bates ahead, 56-55, Dascy answered with a lay-up at the 11:36 mark that kicked off a 13-2 spurt over the next four minutes. Two Moton free throws at 8:34 gave Brandeis a 68-58 lead.
Safford wouldn't led the Bobcats go away quietly, leading the visitors to 13 of the next 16 points, scoring nine on his own and assisting the other four. His steal and lay-up at the 3:55 mark tied the game at 71-71, but Brandeis scored the next three points of the game from the line, and never trailed again. They hit 10 of their last 12 from the charity stripe, while getting defensive stops by Reale and big rebounds from Dascy to keep the Bobcats at bay.
Brandeis opens University Athletic Association play this Saturday at 4 p.m. at NYU, while Bates plays its NESCAC opener Friday night at 8 p.m. at Middlebury.

LETTER: Thanks for buying Girl Scout cookies
To the editor:
Thank you for saying Yes to Girl Scouts! Thank you for opening your hearts and wallets to Girl Scouts who asked you to buy cookies and support their Cookie Program goals.
Your simple business transaction with a Girl Scout is helping her to build a lifetime of real world skills including money management, decision making, goal setting, business ethics and communications.
All funds earned stay local. Each troop determines how to spend their cookie profits and many will travel and experience camp together. And they'll be investing in the community. Troops use cookie dollars to complete community service projects like planting gardens. Individually, Girl Scouts decide how to spend their own cookie proceeds. This summer, many Girl Scouts will pay their way to camp using cookie earnings.
Because you said yes, Girl Scouts from throughout the Girl Scouts of NYPENN Pathways sold 1,809,755 boxes of cookies! Thank you for understanding the value of investing in Girl Scouts and knowing your purchase is an investment in a girl's future. Can a box of cookies change the world? We think so. According to the Girl Scout Alumnae Impact Study, 70 percent of professional women are Girl Scout alums. Girl Scouts matter to our community, our country and indeed the world.
Girl Scouting works because of selfless volunteers. Thank you to the Girl Scout families and volunteers who dedicated countless hours making the Cookie Program an overwhelming success. Together, we will get her there.
Again, thank you for your support. By saying yes to Girl Scout cookies you are giving girls the opportunity to learn, grow and become leaders who can change the world. Because that's what Girl Scouting is — a place where girls gain courage, confidence and character to make the world a better place.

Queen to the Stars' fined for drug tied to NFL suspensions
Send a link to a friend
[June 21, 2014]
By Nate Raymond
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A socialite who
billed herself as "Diet Queen to the Stars" was fined $60,000 on Friday
by a U.S. magistrate judge for drug misbranding of a weight-loss
supplement that was linked to suspensions of several NFL players in
Nikki Haskell and her defunct company, Balanced Health Products
Inc, were sentenced by a federal magistrate judge in Manhattan after
pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge related to the sale of a
pill called StarCaps. [ID:nL1N0MN1TP]
Prosecutors had sought a $100,000 fine. Haskell, 73, also faced up
to six months in prison under a plea agreement announced in March.
"I am so remorseful for this," she told the judge. "It was never my
intent to do anything inappropriate my entire life."
A onetime television show host, Haskell has occasionally appeared in
the New York Post's Page Six gossip column. Billing herself the
"Diet Queen to the Stars," she was the chief executive of Balanced
Health, which marketed StarCaps as an "all natural diet supplement"
containing papaya and garlic.
But in 2008, the company voluntarily recalled StarCaps citing the
presence of bumetanide, which is used to treat heart failure, renal
failure and high blood pressure and that also carries health risks
including fluid and electrolyte loss.
Bumetanide is also banned by several sports organizations including
the National Football League as a potential steroid-masking agent.
Haskell during the hearing said she was "completely unaware"
StarCaps, which was manufactured in Peru, had bumetanide it, adding
she had "never even heard of the product until I heard these
football players were using it."
"I'm still to this day shocked anything was in it," she said.
The NFL cited StarCaps in 2008 in announcing four-game suspensions
to six players on the New Orleans Saints, Houston Texans and
Minnesota Vikings who tested positive for banned substances.
That year, two other players, Jamar Nesbit of the Atlanta Falcons
and Grady Jackson of the Saints, sued Haskell and her company after
receiving four-game suspensions because they tested positive for
[to top of second column]
Haskell subsequently filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2010, listing
potential multimillion-dollar claims by the NFL, players and teams
including the Saints, Vikings, Falcons and Texans.
Ahead of Friday's hearing, Nesbit sent a letter to U.S. Magistrate
Judge Netburn seeking as part of the sentence what Chris Manicini,
Haskell's lawyer, described as a "shocking amount of money." A
lawyer for Nesbit did not respond to a request for comment.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robin Morey said the NFL, meanwhile, had
been aware since 2006 that StarCaps contained bumetanide, but did
not tell anyone.
Morey called the NFL's lack of legal obligation to inform the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration "unfortunate," though she said the
government found no evidence anyone was injured taking StarCaps.
Brian McCarthy, a spokesman for the NFL, declined comment.

The Twenty Dollar Lesson
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you - but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "what if I do this?"
And he…Continue

'Meet the Mormons Next Door'
Mitt Romney may have been defeated in his bid for the presidency, but that isn't stopping some local Mormons from supporting him and seeking to educate the public about their shared faith.
In an attempt to shed more light on what some say is a secretive and close-knit group, Mormons of a local Beaumont congregation held a "Meet the Mormons Next Door" seminar Sunday, Oct. 28. The short presentation was led by Bishop Jeff Bingham, whose church on Weaver Drive in Beaumont boasts a community of at least 600. Citywide, the number is more like 6,000, Bingham said.
At least 50 people came to see the presentation, which lasted about 30 minutes.
Bingham, a local surgeon, and State President Bill Little, a Beaumont attorney, helped draft the presentation which, they said, would help dispel some of the myths surrounding the Mormon faith, including the prevailing stereotype that all Mormons are wealthy or are polygamists.
"Our congregations include people who have been materially successful in life," the presentation reads. "They also include the poor and needy, people who have addictions and even people who have been imprisoned."
As the narrator followed a slide show, she read aloud facts and figures from prominent, peer-reviewed studies comparing Mormon families to other families from different religious backgrounds. They said Mormons have a life expectancy five years above the average for women and 10 years above the national average for men. Their studies showed Mormons give charitably in higher numbers than the general population and most Christian religions.
"To some, our teachings are heretical," the narrator said. "To others, our doctrine is intriguing."
If history is any indication, she's right.
The Mormon faith began in the early 1800s when Joseph Smith, a 14-year-old farm boy in upstate New York, rattled the prevailing Christian establishment of the colonial frontier when he claimed to have seen a vision of God and his son, Jesus Christ.
Smith, with the help of his converted followers, dictated the Book of Mormon based on his visions and said he was a living prophet of Jesus Christ.
A number of bloody confrontations with Christian settlers caused the Mormons to skip from Ohio to Missouri and then to modern day Illinois before finally settling in Utah, the modern day headquarters of the Mormon religion.
The crux of the faith might have caused the early upheaval in the still fledgling Mormon faith.
"We believe that after the death of Jesus and his apostles, unauthorized changes eventually took hold upon His church," the narrator said. "The Christianity adopted by the formerly pagan Roman Empire as its new state religion near the end of the fourth century AD was very different from the faith taught by Jesus of Nazareth centuries earlier."
Joseph Smith's practice of polygamy and the failure of a church-sponsored bank in 1838 were especially divisive, and eventually a mob murdered Smith and his brother Hyrum on June 27, 1844, in Carthage, Ill.
By 1890 following the death of Smith's successor, Brigham Young, the church had officially ended church-mandated polygamy and soon began disavowing fundamentalist sects of the Mormon faith, some of which practice "plural marriage" to this day.
Today's modern Mormon faith is different in one key way: The financial woes of the early church are ancient history.
Although the Mormons, like other churches in the U.S., have not released financial records since at least the 1960s, a recent investigation by Reuters estimated the total net worth of Mormon holdings at some $40 billion and annual tithing income at $8 billion. The same investigation revealed at least $6 billion in stocks and bonds.
With so much money in the hands of the church and with the reported vast personal wealth of Gov. Mitt Romney, Bill Little said the average American might have an unrealistic view of Mormons.
"Perhaps if the average person out in the public doesn't know other members of the church and they associate Mitt Romney with the church, that might be the conclusion that they draw," he said. "But if you know kinda the run of the mill, your average guy who's in our church, you know that we have all types of demographics and income levels and education levels."
Little pointed to the church's missionary program, a worldwide venture subsidized by the Mormon church that seeks to spread its message from door to door, neighborhood by neighborhood. Each young Mormon does a two-year mission, some traveling to far corners of the globe.
The church gives each missionary $400 per month, "whether you're in very pricy Europe or you're down in South America, which costs a lot less," Little said.
After spending his two-year mission in Monterrey, Mexico, Bingham said his outlook on life changed dramatically.
"It gives you more of an appreciation for life and what you've been blessed with," Bingham said. "Mexico is obviously a little bit different standard of living (than) we have here in the United States."
Little said the financial prowess of the Mormon church is matched only by its generosity.
"The church may have a lot of wealth, but they use it in positive ways to help all its members all across the world," he said.
The presentation also boasted of a church welfare program designed to help members in times of need. They said the program is an effective safety net for church members who need it.
"Typically, families depend on the food assistance for an average of three to six months before they are back to being self-reliant," the presentation said.
As the presentation came to a close, a short question and answer session was held to address any questions the audience might have. Little answered a few questions, but touched little on church doctrine, instead inviting those curious about his faith to come see for themselves.
The presentation sought to be respectful of all beliefs and attitudes.
"While we seek truth, we certainly do not claim to have a monopoly on truth," the presentation said, "and we are grateful for countless people of character, integrity and vision who have contributed to human understanding and advancement."

Meanwhile, in the A division, Alan Palmer sailed alongside Bock on Day 1 and Wareham on Day 2, finishing sixth in the division with eight top-five finishes and one victory. The C and D divisions were both singlehanded competitions. Tedd Himler placed fourth, with a win and seven top-three. showings in the C division. Colin Santangelo took 13th place in the D division.
The Crimson totaled 621 points, 51 fewer than seventh-place College of Charleston and 34 points out of the top five. Brown won with 497.

Creative Conversation With Adam Gorham
Adam Gorham is a rising star in comics. Don't believe me? What else would you call someone who's being shot straight to the stars by drawing one of Marvel's highest profile characters with a movie coming out? Plus, the fact it's a cosmic character with space crime overtones. Adam Gorham's a model of work ethic and determination, not to mention humility. He gives us a rough outline of his journey thus far, what we can expect from the upcoming Rocket #1 out on May 10th and offers sage advice to artists drawing their own path in the industry.
MK: Adam, thank you so much for having a Creative Conversation with me today. One of the questions I always like to start with is, do you remember the first comic you owned or the first one that made an impression on you?
AG: the pleasure is mine! I'm excited to talk about Rocket with my pal Matt Klein!
MK: Nice rhyme.
AG: Totally unintentional. I amaze myself (laughs). The first comic I owned and really cherished, and has left an impact on me to this day, is Batman: The Cult, the graphic novel. My father got it for me, probably without even looking inside of it. This was when comics were at their height in the 90's and the local newspaper and cigar shop sold comics. Bernie Wrightson's work was my first major influence.
MK: I freaking love that book. I mean, Jim Starlin and Bernie Wrightson, it's a gem. In talking with people in shops that's an often undiscovered gem. You mentioned Bernie Wrightson as your first major influence, who were some others at different points in your journey to today?
AG: Well, I loved comics as a kid, but rarely read them. I liked them for the art and would draw what I saw. All the mythos and lore I got loosely from 90's cartoons like [Batman: TAS], Spider-Man, X-Men, etc. so without knowing many names at the time, I was certainly informed by the heavyweights of the 90's. However, I fell out of comics around ten or so, about the time when kids let go of their "kids stuff". I didn't get back into loving comic artwork until eleventh grade, and that was after discovering Alex Ross, particularly Kingdom Come.
MK: So good!
AG: It was a revelation for me. Ross' work was the first time for me that comic art felt like classic works of art that could be hung somewhere. When I started getting back into it, I was in love with what Bryan Hitch was doing on The Ultimates. In fact, I really liked Ultimate Marvel at the time. Leinil Yu was another favorite.
MK: There was a ton of top talent working on Marvel's Ultimate Universe at that point. Do you have a favorite Ultimate Universe run or story?
AG: Well I really liked the Ultimate X-Men stuff for a while. The first arc was epic. I enjoyed most of Return to Weapon X. Ultimates 2 probably stands apart though as the height of those titles.it took FOREVER for it to come out, but in the end it was pretty satisfying
MK: Great art can be worth the wait. How did you come to the decision that working in comics was what you wanted to do?
AG: I drew all my life. That's not saying much. Most kids love to draw. However, I was always applauded for how well I drew for my age, so I grew up with drawing as "my thing." And for a long time that was enough. I didn't have a direct application or career in mind for it, but I excelled at drawing superheroes, so comics seemed an obvious choice. The only thing is, I was a terrible student with no ambition. Drawing comics as a career was an easy thing to talk about, but pursuing it was murky and not always tangible. I did go to art school and flamed out because, as I say, terrible student. Ultimately, after a few years of working one dirty job or another, my partner dragged me to my first comic convention and really opened up my eyes to this world I'd previously only known through Wizard magazines and comic shops. I was working in a grocery warehouse. Things with my significant other were getting serious. We wanted to start a new chapter in our lives and it became clear I needed a new goal in life. Or a goal in life. So when I left the warehouse job, I went for broke and looked for a job illustrating. I found one off Craigslist (laughs).
MK: What was the job?
AG: My first ever gig drawing comics was a 128-page graphic novel, written by a Canadian film director who wanted to adapt his indie vampire movie into a comic. Before that I had drawn a few scant pages for my own ideas. And once I started there was no looking back.
MK: That sounds a bit like you jumped into the deep end with a 128 page project right off the bat!
AG: Totally. It was the first opportunity I found and I seized it. I didn't know how or where else to find work. In the past I had sent submissions to publishers, back when most publishers still took open submissions. I have a polite and informative rejection letter from Marvel, actually.
MK: That's freaking awesome though! You talked about going to a convention kind of blew open your mind about comics and the industry. As an artist, how do you like conventions now being on the other side of the table? because I remember that's how we met and i bugged you for a sketch that i recently proudly showed off to io9.
AG: Going as a fan and going as part of your job are two very different experiences. Pros and cons to each side. When I went as fan all I could think about was getting comics signed and saying, "Hi" to people I admired. I put myself through crazy lines and jumped through hoops to meet creators like Alex Ross, Brian Bolland and so on. It was fun but exhausting. You really invested a part of yourself. As soon as I started tabling, that was out the window. It's not like I made a conscious decision to regard conventions differently. It's just that creating a book and taking it to market changes your priorities.
MK: it's part of your business. you're a brand now with obligations.
AG: Precisely.
MK: Do you have any memorable requests from fans at conventions? Or any favorite sketches you've done?
AG: I've never had a bizarre request. Everything I've been asked to draw has been pretty fun, although I think I've only recently started drawing well at conventions. The past couple years I've improved, whereas drawing at a table was an uncomfortable experience. I got the hang of it though. So anything beyond a year or two ago I look back on and cringe. Your Man-Bat is a favorite of mine. I did a Frank Miller Dark Knight at NYCC that was very nice.
MK: if you could go back some years, what advice would you give yourself about being a comic book artist?
AG: With hindsight there's so much I would impart. My problems starting out was, I thought I knew just how much work was involved with making comics. I would go back and tell myself "Nope. Work harder." One thing I tell others is not to feel beholden to any one thing they've drawn. Draftsmanship is so very important. teaching yourself to draw things over and over, refining, and not being precious about something because you spend an hour on it. Your ideas and skill will always improve with every pass if you put in the effort, so it's crazy to me to draw something once and thinking, "Well, I can see this is off, this other thing is wonky, but I just spent two hours drawing it, so good enough." I've redrawn entire pages because a better idea struck me while I was driving home or at the store or on a walk.
MK: How many hours a day do you draw?
AG: I draw every day. Working constantly. Some days I work eight hours and others twelve or sixteen. Depends on where I'm at. I have two kids that, once they're home, I can't do anything else until they're in bed. So I don't always draw as much as I want to in a work day. But I try to make up with time later
MK: That's incredibly intimidating and inspiring at the same time (laughs). Let's pivot real quick to your ridiculously exciting new series coming up. So, congratulations on being the artist on the upcoming Rocket #1 with Al Ewing. It seems like a pretty awesome moment to be working on this character with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 coming out so close to the release of the series. When you got the gig, how was the book described to you?
AG: It was a thrilling experience for me because of the sheer amount of suspense involved.
I was wrapping up The Violent at Image.
MK: Lovely book if i might add.
AG: I was worried what I'd move on to. Like, I had some options, and I had some ideas of what step to take next. I was gutted, to be honest, because i wanted The Violent to carry on. Ed [Brisson] had this great idea for the next chapter and I was ready for it. So, I was sweating it a little. Then later one afternoon while I was at the supermarket Ii got an email from Marvel asking if I was interested in working for them. That alone was very exciting, but it could've meant anything from a cover to a tie-in or whatever
MK: Sure.
AG: But naturally I said yes. they told me they'd have some information in a couple days. For two days my mind went WILD with possibilities
MK: Was Rocket Raccoon on that list of possibilities?
AG: Ha! No. I figured since I had just done a street level crime comic, something like Punisher or whatever would be the obvious route. I met with a good friend of mine, Michael Walsh, who was doing Rocket and Groot at the time. We were giddy over what it could be, no matter how small. When Marvel offered me a new #1 ongoing, I was intoxicated. Like, it wasn't even that it was Rocket. At the time, we were calling it something else. The change of name was also in the cards. But the fact I'd be coming on with such a great opportunity was unreal. Anyway, when we finally got talking about what the book would be, my place as an artist began to make sense.
MK: How so? And this is an interesting pattern here, your first comic is a 128 page book, your first gig at Marvel is an ongoing for one of the most publicly recognized characters! You're really seizing these opportunities that not everybody gets. It's inspiring.
AG: I forget who exactly gave me the lowdown, but they said the vision for this book would be Rocket in his element pulling heists in space. In conversation we compared it to Parker graphic novels. Al [Ewing] had this idea to use prose, reinforcing the theme of a hard-boiled thriller. So right away we talked about how pages would be structured to accommodate Al's prose. and how Rocket's default outfit in this series would be a suit, open collar, no tie. Parker, even Daniel Ocean make good comparisons, but our Rocket has a broken heart that reminds me more of George Clooney's Jack Foley from "Out of Sight."
MK: You just named one of my top 10 favorite films of all time!
AG: IT'S SO GOOD! Fun story about that movie. When I was a kid I was grounded. I forget why, but I know I earned it. My parents left to get groceries one saturday afternoon. While they were out my friends called asking if I'd go to the movies with them. Somehow I thought I could sneak out, see a two hour movie, and bus it home before they ever got home. The only thing playing at the theatre was "Out of Sight" which I had seen ads for but wasn't the type of movie I was rushing to see at the time. Man, oh man, it was the coolest thing I ever saw at that point.
MK: Uh, yeah! Seriously, anybody reading this who hasn't seen "Out of Sight" needs to immediately go watch it!
AG: And I felt like such a smooth operator for sneaking out to see this slick flick. I was like, twelve or thirteen at the time. I can't recall. But I walked out of the theatre like, "Look at me now, world!"
MK: Did you get busted?
AG: Oh, of course! My parents were out of the house for maybe an hour, discovered I took off, and had three hours to sit and plan my punishment. I walked into verbal cannon fire.
MK: That's epic. Okay, we're in the home stretch here. If someone's been living in a bubble for the last few years and has no idea who Rocket is, how would you describe your new series to them?
AG: First off, congratulations on leaving your bubble. Let me introduce you to Rocket: he's a scruffy outlaw, a lost soul, a space raccoonoid looking for his place in the galaxy when he's not saving it with the Guardians. That place usually ends up being a dangerous one, where he's risking it for, surprisingly, a chance at love lost. If that doesn't work out, then cold revenge.
MK: Who is on your Mount Rushmore of comics?
AG: I forget how many heads are on Rushmore, but let's say four, and my Rushmore of Comics is comprised of: Frank Quitely, Alex Ross, Bernie Wrightson, and Moebius.
MK: That's an eclectic looking Mount Rushmore!
AG: Rushmore is really weird, when you think about it.
MK: Last but not least: If you meet someone that's never read a comic before, what 5 reads would you tell them to pick up?
AG: For Golden Age adventure, I recommend Prince Valiant. For super heroics I recommend All-Star Superman. For horror I'd suggest Afterlife With Archie. For great crime, if you've already read The Violent, be sure to check out Ed Brisson's Murder Book. For sci-fi, Black Science is pretty neat.
MK: Adam, thank you so much for giving me this time. I really appreciate you, man. I can't wait to read Rocket #1.
Make sure you pre-order Rocket #1 at Forbidden Planet now and pick it up on Wednesday, May 10th when it arrives in store.

Gwyneth signs books
As mentioned last week, Gwyneth Paltrow and her family are spending August in the Hamptons. Click here for a refresher. On Saturday G lit up the Hamptons social scene not as an "actor" but as a "writer", showing up for the Authors Night For The East Hampton Library event. Her husband Chris Martin (not pictured, no pictures anyway) and children, Apple and Moses, were with her for part of the day and the kids didn't seem to want to leave her, even when she was at the signing table. At one point she leaned over and kissed her son. Cute, right? Later on that night, G let her hair down and put on some heels. I like that she's barely wearing any makeup and didn't bother to do her hair. Is this the Hamptons way? Also, are Asians allowed to buy homes in the Hamptons? I keep eyeballing the background of all these pictures and can't seem to find any. Asians are driving up home prices all over the world. Would people in the Hamptons have a problem with that?

Citigroup announced on Wednesday that it will cut 11,000 jobs, or 4 percent of its workforce, in an effort to trim expenses.
The moves comes one month after Citigroup paid out nearly $14 million to two former executives, CEO Vikram Pandit and Chief Operating Officer John Havens, who were ousted for poor management. The Citigroup board forced Pandit out, "after a series of missteps this year left some directors feeling that the company wasn't being managed effectively and that the board wasn't kept adequately informed."
Under Pandit and Havens, Citigroup lost 88 percent of its stock value. Still, the executives walked away with generous pay packages:
Vikram Pandit, Citigroup Inc. (C)'s ousted chief executive officer, will get about $6.7 million in 2012 compensation and will forfeit some awards tied to a $40 million retention package granted last year.
John Havens, who resigned last month as Citigroup's chief operating officer on the same day as Pandit, will get about $6.8 million for 2012 and also forfeit some awards, the New York- based lender said yesterday in a regulatory filing. Citigroup is the third-largest U.S. bank by assets.
"Based on the progress this year through the date of separation, the board determined that an incentive award for their work in 2012 was appropriate and equitable," Chairman Michael E. O'Neill said in the filing.
It is something of a trend for corporations to pay top executives high salaries, while employees feel the consequences of a struggling company. After failed Twinkie-maker Hostess declared bankruptcy, it cut workers' pay 8 percent, but left the CEO's $1.5 million salary untouched.

Think doing laundry is a tedious job? Most women in San Antonio Palopo, Guatemala, do their laundry by hand … in a lake!
Olivia and Juana are mothers of two sponsored children in San Antonio, a community in the hills along Lake Atitlan.
The women carry clothes on their head down a steep hill to the waterís edge. When they finish, they carry the heavy load of wet clothes up the hill and back home.

On last night's episode, Amy—a twentysomething anorexic/self-mutilator/alcoholic—was having difficulty dealing with her family. They're "fed up" with her "attention seeking"—her sister thinks Amy's date rape was her own fault, and her father secretly wishes she'd kill herself.
What her family didn't know was that Amy was molested as a young child. She kept it a secret for years, and internalized the entire ordeal. She developed an eating disorder not long after the molestation. Years later, she began cutting, and then eventually drinking heavily. Because Amy's been anorexic for so long, her parents chalked her thinness up to genetics, and didn't believe her when she confessed her eating disorder to them, and asked for help.
It's painful watching Amy pick apart her body in the mirror.
Not knowing what else to do, and sick of her behavior, her family finally decided to hold an intervention. At the pre-intervention, they learned that Amy had been molested as a child, and suddenly they understood the source of her pain. As soon as Amy walked in the room, she recognized Candy Finnegan from the show.
Amy went to rehab, and an update two months later showed a much healthier, happier version of herself. She's been sober since July 2009.

GDANSK, Poland (Reuters) - Solidarity, the trade union movement which led the Polish struggle against communist rule, distanced itself on Monday from a visit to Poland by U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney, saying he supported attacks on unions in his own country.
Romney was in Poland on the third and final leg of a tour aimed at burnishing his foreign policy credentials and demonstrating that he would be a viable alternative to President Barack Obama on the world stage.
Romney visited the Baltic port of Gdansk, cradle of Solidarity which toppled Poland's communist government in the late 1980s, where he met Lech Walesa, the shipyard electrician who led the union movement during the struggle seen as the start of the end of Soviet domination of eastern Europe.
"Regretfully, we were informed by our friends from the American headquarters of (trade union federation) AFL-CIO, which represents more than 12 million employees ... that Mitt Romney supported attacks on trade unions and employees' rights," Solidarity said in a statement.
"Solidarity was not involved in organizing Romney's meeting with Walesa and did not invite him to visit Poland."
Romney has in the past complained about "union bosses" who he said have donated large sums of money to Obama's re-election campaign.
Romney is trying to avoid any further missteps after gaffes during the first leg of his tour, in Britain, generated negative newspaper headlines and criticism even from some of his own supporters. He came to Poland from Israel, his second stop.
In Gdansk, Romney, who has called Poland's neighbor Russia the top "geopolitical foe" of the United States, tried to show that if elected president he would be a stronger ally to Moscow-wary Poland than Obama.
The White House incumbent angered some Poles by making conciliatory moves aimed at "re-setting" strained ties with the Kremlin. Walesa, who was Polish president for five years in the 1990s, effectively endorsed Romney at their meeting.
"I wish you to be successful because this success is needed for the United States of course, but for Europe and the rest of the world too. Governor Romney, get your success. Be successful," Walesa said.
Walesa ended his association with the Solidarity movement several years ago following disputes over policy.
Romney, a former governor of the U.S. state of Massachusetts, also had a 45-minute meeting at the Gdansk Old Town Hall with Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
Later, with his wife and son, Romney placed flowers at the foot of a memorial to trade union activists killed by the Moscow-backed communist authorities. There, Romney got a taste of divided opinion about his candidacy.
"Good luck Mr. Romney," a male onlooker shouted as the Romneys walked back to their motorcade.
"Obama," a woman shouted.
"No, no more Obama," a man shouted.
"Obama," the woman insisted.
On Tuesday, the final day of his week-long foreign tour, Romney is to give a speech in the capital, Warsaw, on liberty and Washington's ties with Poland.
"The relationship that our countries have is very important and it would be a high priority in a Romney administration," said a senior Romney campaign adviser.
However, it may prove difficult in Poland for Romney to draw a sharp contrast with his Democratic rival in the presidential election because Polish leaders enjoy fairly strong ties with the Obama White House.
Solidarity is still known abroad because of its historic role in the collapse of Communism and the fall of the Berlin Wall. At home, it is now closely linked with Poland's biggest opposition party, which promotes conservative social values.

This behavior is a body target: Teaching your dog to rest his chin in your palm, on your thigh, or on a designated surface is charming, useful for husbandry procedures, eliminates head shyness, and is a useful behavior for polite introductions.
Using a clicker-produced sound or marker word, such as "yep," will help your dog know for what exact behavior he is being rewarded. Get lots of tiny, yummy treats ready, your clicker, a hungry dog and a quiet, low-distraction location. Now you're ready to start. Fluffy may be sitting or standing in front of you. Find a comfortable seat and offer your palm just slightly below his normal head height. Your hand movement shouldn't be distracting by coming from over his head or coming from too great a distance.
Be ready to click and treat the first time you offer your hand. When you offer your flat hand, palm up and tilted with fingers pointed slightly downward, Fluffy will investigate it. As you contact his chin, slide your hand forward just a little, giving Fluffy a tiny chin stroke toward his neck, then click the end point of the stroke. Quickly deliver the treat with your other hand at his head height. Repeat 3 to 4 times. Take a short break. Do another session.
Next, repeat the same process but this time, at the end of your tiny chin stroke, press upward about 1/8 inch. You'll feel resistance — now drop your hand 1/8 inch. Click his "righting reflex" chin motion into your palm, then treat. Repeat 3 to 4 times. When Fluffy is clearly offering the behavior, you'll add your cue "chin." Start by saying "chin" as the behavior is happening. Click the contact point and treat. Repeat 3 times. Take a break.
Slowly begin giving the cue earlier. If Fluffy makes a mistake, go back to your last successful point. Start again. Ask for more in smaller increments. To get duration, say "chin" (don't repeat it), wait a fraction longer before clicking. In this way you'll slowly build more time in "chin position."
Happy clicking!

In this fun-loving land of ours, hops and malt are all about the good times spent with neighbors. A small part of this great land of yours and mine is an ancient French city that was a province of the Spanish crown, that is governed by Napoleonic codes and the timeless law that the good times should be allowed to roll without interference. In New Orleans, like everywhere in the U.S. of A, people get thirsty.
America is a country of kindliness, of friendship, and of good-natured tolerance. New Orleans sets the standard for all three qualities within its ample, broad bosom. I've heard that an apple tree grew in the center of Jackson Square long before the Creoles arrived to plant their flags. If there is sin in New Orleans, it is quicker than liquor and it is quickly forgiven. Perhaps no beverages are more "at home" on more occasions than good American beer and ale, especially if it is drunk in New Orleans.
Beer and ale are the kinds of beverages Americans love. Take a trip to New Orleans and discover how much beer a belly can bear if a beer belly can bear the strain. It is easy to soak up the ambience in New Orleans, LA. American-brewed beer and ale belong. Especially DIxie. Especially Jax. Especially Abita. Especially NOLA. They are an important component of pleasant living and good fellowship when sipped with sensible moderation.
It is every American's right to enjoy beer and ale, a family-friendly, community-friendly beverage, especially in New Orleans, LA. Our American heritage of personal freedom is shown to all the world in our per capita beer consumption statistics. Nowhere is this more true than in New Orleans. Nowhere else is the flag of freedom flown so high, wtih less worry or care, or with more friendly dispostion.
Be a New Orleanian, wherever you are.
If you are thinking of visiting New Orleans anytime soon. We know of a nice historic bed and breakfast in the middle of Esplanade Avenue. Close to the French Quarter and the usual destinations, and close to everywhere else.

Hi all. I am writing a simple program that reads from the serial port. I have got the communications working file, but get weird characters after using the read command such as below:
Any ideas what might cause this? I am not that familiar with C (from java background) and to me this looks like I should read this input stream as something else than character array. However from all documentation I have seen for the read function, it always reads the data to character array.
Any pointers anyone?

An essay can be anything and everything which can perfectly explain and comment on a given subject. The reader of the essay can be termed as the final judge to determine, how good an essay is. The essay should be such that it can reflect the actual situation through a spectrum of thoughts, in a manner which can keep the interest and facts on the same boat.
All the words and sentences written for the subject should be synchronized in a perfectly uniform structure, providing a platform to the reader to closely analyze the thoughts, and in some cases, should be able to drive home a point.
Once the task of creating an essay has been determined, the potential author should just initiate the process of writing, without any fear or comprehension. Once the first draft has been created, the base and the platform for the essay is ready, ready to be launched for the final version.
Targeting the audience: Hitting bull eye. Before commencing the journey of writing a successful essay, one should always keep in mind the audience of the essay. Which type of audience will read the essay? What is the purpose of this essay? Any author should be well prepared to answer these questions.

According to the current edition of The Conference Board Job Satisfaction survey, and for the eighth straight year, less than half of US workers are satisfied with their jobs. In 2013, the percentage of workers satisfied with their jobs was 47.7, well below the historical level of 61.1 percent in 1987. Increasing by a mere 0.4 percentage points from the previous year, overall job satisfaction continues to improve from its lowest point (42.6 percent in 2010), albeit at a disappointingly slow pace. In addition to overall results, this report offers demographic results (e.g., age, region) for the survey data.

Dastardly duke strikes again
IT IS the stuff of Hollywood blockbusters: a devilishly charismatic rogue criss-crossing continents, passing bum cheques and leaving behind a trail of broken hearts.
But there were no film cameras at the latest instalment in the ups and many downs of the thrice-married bigamist Alex Montagu Manchester when he appeared in the Las Vegas justice court on a felony charge.
To those he is trying to impress it is, perhaps, convenient for him to use his full name, Alexander Charles David Drogo Montagu, the 13th Duke of Manchester.
Others might know him as an Australian from a humble background - despite a genuine aristocratic lineage - with a criminal record going back almost 30 years.
No stranger to the slam of a prison door, the duke was accused in the Las Vegas court earlier this month of writing a cheque for $3575 to Speedy Car Loans when he had ''no funds, property or credit'' to support it.
While his life story, thus far, and the misdemeanours of the Manchester lineage provide enough salacious material for a movie, they already fill part of a book. They occupy a sizeable part of Splendour & Squalor, the Disgrace and Disintegration of Three Aristocratic Dynasties by the historian Marcus Scriven.
Montagu's mother, Mary Montagu, daughter of a Geelong car dealer and former gossip columnist affectionately known as Madcap Mary, still lives in Melbourne, as does his first wife.
His father, Lord Angus Montagu, reportedly wrestled alligators and pulled pints of beer in north Queensland before heading back to Britain and finally being jailed in the US.
When Montagu was exposed as a bigamist in the High Court in London in 2011, Scriven wrote of Montagu's ancestors: ''Their recreational interests include gambling, alcohol and sex - not to mention fraud.''
The duke's embarrassment with cheques first emerged in 1985 when The Age reported that he was sentenced in the County Court to three years' jail on 22 fraud charges.
Judge Byrne said his deprived childhood had distorted his personality, but the offences were carried out with a degree of cunning.
Montagu was still at it in 1991 in Brisbane after hiring a rental car in one state and selling it in another. That same year, then aged 28, he was arrested in Vancouver on charges of illegally entering Canada as a result of his previous criminal convictions and was later deported.
He spent four days in jail before being freed, was photographed with a former stripper and told reporters he was anxious to see how the poor lived.
Lord Alex has also been somewhat unlucky in love. His first wife, Australian model Marion Stoner, was not aware that he had married again before divorcing her.
The short-lived relationship in the early 1980s ended, she said, when he tried to shoot her with a speargun. He missed.
He married second wife Wendy Buford in 1993, a California law firm receptionist who bore him two children, three years before his divorce from his previous wife came through.
She has told of meeting the dashing stranger with an Australian accent in the Crazy Horse bar in the town of Santa Ana in 1992.
Shortly after marrying his third wife, American real estate agent Laura Smith, he told Wendy he was already married at the time of their wedding, making their children, Alexander, now 19, and Ashley, now 13, illegitimate.
He then stopped all child support payments, which by March 2011 had totalled £32,000.
It was the London High Court case in July that year that brought her financial relief with the ruling that, despite the children being technically illegitimate, their claim from their father was recognised in law and that the family trustees would pay them an allowance.
Speaking from the US, Ms Buford told Fairfax Media: ''For the 15 years I was married to him I was always taking care of the bad cheques he had written and we were never legally married.
''Mary [his mother] never gave a shit about her grandchildren, not one bit, she never sent them anything. If I had known we were never married I could have been free of him.''
When contacted in Melbourne, Mary Montagu would only say: ''Alex is very ill.''
In the Las Vegas court Lord Alex offered no contest to the charge and was given six months to repay the $3575 and a 90-day suspended prison sentence.
In an email, he told Fairfax Media he was going into hospital this week to have a four-disc back fusion and would be partially physically disabled for life.
He said: ''After my surgery, and I have started physiotherapy, then my beautiful wife and I would be glad to sit down with you and talk.
''At that time I will be able to show you government documents that prove that this supposed bigamy is false and will be able to show that.''
The email was signed Manchester.
His wife, Laura Montagu, said in an email that the case was finished with. ''His wallet was stolen, the judge knows it and the car broke down the car people were not legal dealers.''

Pride festival organizer says Toronto 'streets are overflowing'
TORONTO -- An organizer of Toronto's gay pride festival says this year's event is shaping up to be the biggest one yet.
Pride Toronto co-chair Sean Hillier says there have been a record number of groups registering to take part in WorldPride Toronto and that the "streets are overflowing" with people attending.
The festival kicked off on June 20 and the main event, the pride parade, will take place Sunday.
Hillier says more than 350 groups have signed up to take part in the march along with 12,500 marchers.
He says that this year's annual festival being designated a WorldPride event by a global gay and lesbian group has boosted the number of people attending from abroad, such as more than 400 delegates attending a conference on human rights.
This is the 34th year Toronto has held the gay pride festival.
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau are all to attend a streetside service by the Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto officiated by an openly gay pastor on Sunday morning
The parade is to start at 1 p.m.
