I have a Sony DSC-P92 and I have a lot of trouble shooting close ups, any ideas how I can add to this lens or how to take better photos of small objects? Thank you!
Just be very aware of what is the minimum distance to the subject really is! Often time folks think nthat their digital camera can actually focus closer than their Cybershot can really focus.
Sarah Joyce
You don't describe the type of problems you are having. What objects are you trying to photograph? Are you using a tripod? Working with natural lighting or flash? Are images blurred? Is there evidence of camera movement? More details would be helpful.
BTW, the camera's macro mode focuses at a minimum distance of 10cm (4 inches) with the lens wide open (W mode). If you need to get closer, try locating a compatible close-up lens set.

I just bought an H1 and have an old Nikon 6T close-up lens with a 58mm adapter. The 6T is/was used for SLRs that had lenses over 200mm. The H1 obviously does better than that but does not have a way of attaching a close-up lens directly - rather the 6T would go onto the lens adapter.
My wife had th ecamera for a few days out of town, so I thought I would ask here if anyone knows if I will find the 6T usable on the H1 or not?

Content marketing is all the rage at the moment. It seems that the "content is king" saying is flavor of the month – again. It's almost as if this is a new revelation. It's not.
Creating unique, valuable, relevant and interesting content has always been the holy grail of any website promotion campaign. Not just any content. It must have all the aforementioned attributes, and that's what makes it challenging. You can't copy it from someone else. It can't be written by a copywriter who doesn't understand the subject matter. You actually have to sit down, exercise your brain cells and produce something original.
Most people find producing original content from scratch very challenging. For this reason, procrastination often sets in, and you end up avoiding writing and do something easier. There are too many unanswered questions. What should you write about? What will make you appear knowledgeable about a subject? What will get the most readers?
So here are some ideas that may help, and some rules to stick to. After all, remember that any content marketing strategy is ongoing – it doesn't have an end date, and it's never finished.
1. Write about what you know best. This one should be pretty obvious. If you want to be credible and to be taken seriously, you'd better know your stuff.
2. The stuff that will make you appear knowledgeable on a subject is the stuff that you really are knowledgeable about, so don't try and muddle through on subjects you're not well versed on. If you're weak on a subject, it'll show, so avoid it. Stick with what you know best.
3. Don't plagiarize – be original. If you copy and paste others' work, you'll get found out by search engines and your efforts will be diluted. You may also get found out by the original author. Just don't do it.
4. Write "in your own voice". Have character. Be yourself. Radio presenters call it a persona. We all have one, so use yours. Write things as you might speak them. Use your personal phraseology. Just make sure you don't keep writing "y'know" or "absolutely".
5. Make a list of what you know well. These are the things that you can credibly write about well. Stick to items on this list. If you need to write on other subjects, either find someone who understands that subject matter well, or read widely. Don't start writing about the subject until you fell knowledgeable about it.
6. Once you have your list, match it against the areas for which you need content. If you need content on link-building strategies, for example, make sure this is on your list of areas of expertise before you consider writing about it. Take this revised list of areas that match your expertise to your content requirements, and break them down into small elements. So for link building strategies, you might have such items as competitor research, target page identification, link bait creation, and so on.
7. Put this list into some sort of order, such as the order in which the tasks would be performed. You have your final list.
This method leaves you with a list of articles that you can write about as a credible expert in your field. It gives you the order in which to write them and as soon as one's finished, there's no procrastinating about what comes next. When you need the next piece of quality content, you simply look at the next item on your list, knowing that you are an authority on the subject and will have no problems writing great content. Now isn't that a relief?

WASHINGTON – The House of Representatives on the evening of Jan. 1 by a vote of 256 to 171 passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, in addition to preserving tax reductions for all but the wealthiest Americans enacted during the administration of President George W. Bush and postponing decisions on required spending cuts for two months to allow further time to reach an agreement, extended the current farm act through Sept. 30, 2013. The Senate, where the compromise bill originated, passed the measure in the early hours of the New Year's Day. President Barack Obama was expected to sign the bill as soon as it reaches his desk.
The lame duck session of Congress was dominated by the drama and ultimately the scramble to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff." Vice-President Joe Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who crafted the compromise tax bill, ignored efforts of leaders of the congressional agriculture committees to insert their own language into the section extending the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008. Among other things, the committees sought language contained in both House and Senate farm bills and supported by milk producers that would have included producer friendly changes in the dairy program.
The extension as passed would extend current farm programs, including the milk program in its current form, through the end of the 2013 fiscal year, leaving the next Congress the responsibility of passing a successor to the 2008 farm act.

A couple of weeks ago, we looked at spring books for adults from local authors and publishers. There are so many quality spring books for children and young adults that they deserved a separate column. Here they are, ranging from science fiction to civil rights.
"Fat Boy vs the Cheerleaders" by Geoff Herbach (Sourcebooks Fire, $16.99)
Award-winning author of the Felton Reinstein series that began with "Stupid Fast" tells the story of Gabe Johnson, aka Butter Ball, EightButt Johnson, who's tired of being an underdog. He's called names by kids and teachers at school, his mom left him for a Japanese businessman and even his friends call him "Chunk." The only thing he looks forward to is band, and when the school's soda machine's funds, collected by the band, are funneled to the cheerleading dance team, it's the last straw for Gabe. He becomes the champion of every underdog at school, helped by old friends and unexpected allies. (May)

(June)
"The Books of Elsewhere: Still Life" by Jacqueline West (Dial Books for Young Readers, $16.99).
Fifth and final volume of this bestselling and widely praised series finds heroine Olive Dunwoody, the girl who has found a portal into paintings, discovering during a field trip to the local art museum a painting that moves. It is a pentimento — a canvas that's been painted over twice. Is this a new portal to Elsewhere, the world that exists inside paintings left behind by dark witches who once lived in Olive's house? What she discovers involves the vanished parents of her friend Morton, a boy-turned-painting and the deepest secrets of the painted world she visited in previous books. Now, she must face her fears and limitations and the possible destruction of Elsewhere. With her on this last journey are a young witch-in-training and three gigantic immortal cats that protect the secrets of the mansion where Olive lives. (June)

National Book Award-winner Hautman concludes The Klaatu Diskos time-travel trilogy featuring Tucker Feye, Lan Lia and Tucker's Uncle Kosh searching for one another and figuring out the secrets of the diskos.

"Furious Jones and the Assassin's Secret" by Tim Kehoe (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, $16.99)
Furious Jones (so named because he looked angry when he was born) is 12 years old and grieving the death of his mother when his father, a famous author, is shot while giving a reading. Jones heads for Galena, Ill., where his mom was killed, to find out how she died. He learns the pretty river town is seeing an unusual number of deaths attributed to accidents. What's going on in the town and what secrets did Jones' mother keep from him? With the help of a young woman who's an aspiring journalist, Jones dodges powerful people as he tries to keep from getting killed. The exciting story ends in a cliff-hanger because it was supposed to be the first in a series, but the author died unexpectedly in February. He would have had a very successful career as a young adult author.
"If An Armadillo Went to a Restaurant" by Ellen Fischer, illustrated by Laura Wood (Scarletta Kids, $14.95)
What would all sorts of creatures order at a restaurant? "If a butterfly fluttered to a garden cafe,/what would he order?/A BOWL OF OATMEAL?/Surely not./A butterfly might order…/A BOWL OF LILAC NECTAR…hold the flower." The sea turtle might order "Crabs and shrimp/with a jellyfish on top." A hedgehog could select "A plate of /crunchy/beettles/with/three sides…/BEES, WASPS, AND SNAILS." The illustrations will make kids laugh, especially a surprised-looking ostrich with a BLT wedged sideways in its mouth.

Water can be everything from "a tadpole hatcher" and "thirst quencher" to a "storm creator" and "woodchuck warmer." Water in all its forms is the focus of this beautiful book that uses words sparingly but effectively, enhanced by illustrations in muted greens and blues by an artist who lives in Moldova. Definitions at the back of the book explain each phrase. "Tadpole hatcher" for instance, refers to the fact that tadpoles hatch from their eggs and live in the water until they change into frogs or toads.
"Miss You Like Crazy" by Pamela Hall, illustrated by Jennifer A. Bell (Tanglewood Publishing, $15.99).
Walnut the Squirrel and his mom imagine adventures while they prepare for their day. Walnut wants to know why his mom has to leave him to go to work and she explains she has to earn money for rent and food, but he is always on her mind when they are apart. She declares 5 p.m. Walnut Time and the little squirrel can hardly wait. A nice way for working parents to send their kids a message of love and assurance they will all be together at the end of the day.

I'd left Mama sorting through pictures strewn across her table like the past had come calling.
Why is the past never how you thought you left it?
That photo of my brother and me in our toddler bowl cuts and plaid pants, grinning over a tower of spice bottles looked like the mid-70s exploded psychedelic and plaid on everything, and I laugh right out loud.
Hope remembers three miles out of town that she's forgotten her glasses on Mama's counter, so I turn around.
It's grace that allows you to make U-turns, even if time doesn't always.
When I slink back into Mama's kitchen for the glasses, Mama's at the table, head in her hands, weeping.
I touch her shoulder and she nods, looks away out the window.
Sometimes the most painful thing is to turn your face into another face. A face can unveil too much of a soul's information. Too much, too fast.
"It's okay, Mama . . . it's okay." She crumbles into my arms.
Sometimes you can hear it —the resonance between the drumming of your own pulse and the pulse of grace rising up to you from the darkest places.
"It's okay." I soothe, stroking her hair. There is no fear in letting tears come.
Sadness is a gift to avoid the nothingness of numbness, and all hard places need water. Grief is a gift, and after a rain of tears, there is always more of you than before. Rain always brings growth.
An old card lies open on the table in front of her. It's my handwriting from grade school, this blotting inky scrawl, cramped and haunting from decades ago.
"I don't know how to tell you," it reads, and I'm trying to remember who this kid was, what she'd felt. "I don't want to hurt you, but I am sad and angry."
I wrote this? What in the world? I pick the card up.
"I am angry for all the times I felt abandoned. I am angry for all the times I felt failed."
I don't remember writing the words, but I remember feeling them.
"I am sad I said even this because I don't want to let anyone to see how bad it hurts. I don't want anyone to know how much it all hurts. I am sad for what is. I am even more sad for what isn't going to be now."
Oh, blazing Gehenna.
How did this end up here, now? How did she find it? And how can you up and break your mother's heart on a drowsy, humid Sunday afternoon with a note from thirty unsuspecting years earlier? How can a creased and smudgy piece of paper gore a mama right through for all she wasn't and can never change?
Mama reaches up to touch my hand resting on her wracked, hunched shoulder. She chokes it out. "You can't know how . . ." She bites her lip like a steadying, like a woman reaching for a hand. "How I'm far more sad for what won't ever be now."
She looks up, braves my face, everything fluid grief. "I'd do anything to get back there and do it all over again. If only . . ." She turns away again, squeezing my hand tight. Her fingers smudge the inked cross on my wrist.
Oh, Mama. That may be the saddest string of words that's ever been strung together: "If only . . ."
I can taste the words in my mouth. Who doesn't know "if only . . . "?
If only there was time for me to go back for do-overs of my own, say different things to the kids, only speaking words that make souls stronger, somehow live better, love realer.
If only grief hadn't driven my mother a kind of hurting crazy into psych wards all through my childhood.
If only my sister's skull hadn't been crushed like tender fruit by a delivery truck in front of all our helpless eyes.
If only I hadn't kept a stuffed closet full of a thousand ugly sins.
If only . . .
But there's no way back.
Maybe life always tastes a bit like regret. Whatever you do or don't do, there is no way to never taste it.
And though you may have to taste regret, you don't have to believe in it, you don't have to live in it, like rowing a boat that only goes backward, trying to find something that's been washed out to sea. It's God's sea. And that means all is grace.
Mama's cheeks are wet. I'm standing there like a fool looking into my own sadness over what can't now be—because I haven't been all I could have been.
She's my mama, and I'm her daughter. And now I'm a mama, and we both have never stopped laboring, wondering if we will ever fully know deliverance into abundance.
There it is again: I remember how she once forgot me after piano lessons and I walked three hours home in the dark of a snowstorm blowing straight into my face.
And I remember how I was once the mama who left a child, thinking he went home with somebody else , who left a store and drove straight out of that town without him, and abandonment is always a soul's worst fear.
We got the call that, before they closed down the store for the night, they found our boy fighting back tears amidst stacks of used Charlie Brown comic strips. Sickened, I was the mama who wanted to enfold our boy in a begging apology and the deepest comfort I know: even when life abandons you, you are in the arms of God.
I was the kid who called my mama a witch and made a plan to run away.
And I've been the mama who's called my kids monsters and turned around as an adult and ran away for the day to my mama's.
Mama and I, we're sitting here at her kitchen table, kids waiting out in the van for me to come with the forgotten glasses, and I can see the suffering right there in Mama's eyes, what she's doing to herself.
I know because I'd just been the busted and broken doing it myself.
How do you beg people to love you when you least deserve it, because that's when you need it the most—and what if that's exactly what God does?
Mama doesn't have to say anything because her eyes are saying it all—she's listening to the lies that began in the beginning, that started in the Garden, that hissed with masked innocence, "Did God really say . . . ?"
Lies that can look you right in the eyes and you can feel the hiss slithering right up the nape of your neck: "Just look at you—you're a mess, you're a failure, you're damaged goods. You aren't ever going to be good enough, smart enough, together enough, liked enough, wanted enough, do anything that counts enough, and your God isn't good enough to turn the bad of you around."
You can feel too broken to be.
There can be a lying snake curled between your neural membranes and his lies can run poison in your veins. Sometimes our deepest suffering is that voice in our head.
"Mama?" Her cheek feels like wrinkled silk. "Please hear me. All that was intended to harm, God intended all of it for good. All that's been, no matter what was intended to harm you, God's arms have you."
None of us is ever too broken. "Give our Lord the benefit of believing that His hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete," assures Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.
"Mama? You and me?" And words come out from some long-ago place. "All that's been is what makes us velveteen. All that's been is what makes you beautiful, makes you love, makes you real. Remember real, Mama?"
Mama looks up at me.
Mama murmurs it quiet. "What is real?"
What does it mean to live real, to love real, to be a real believer, to be a real live-er?
How many times had she read the story to me as a kid? The Velveteen Rabbit.
"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day . . .
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you . . ."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
What is real? Real living, real believing, real faith?
Real living doesn't always feel like living; it can feel like you're dying. It can feel like you are breaking apart and losing pieces of yourself—and you are.
Because when you let yourself love, you let parts of you die. Or you aren't really loving. You must let your false self be broken, parts of you that you only thought were necessary.
You must embrace your union with Christ, bravely surrender and trust that what's breaking and being lost is never the eternal, needed parts of you, but always the temporal, needless parts that were getting in the way of you becoming real.
Tracing those two intersecting penned lines on my wrist, it's like everything's being worn down to the essence of real: the cross.
"My Velveteen Mama." I touch her cheek.
"The miracle of real happens when you let all your suffering create love. When you let the pain make passion. The passion makes you real, Mama."
I'm talking to her, but I'm the aching, busted one preaching gospel to myself, trying to find the way myself. I'm reading her eyes. Holding her wrinkled cheek in my hand. "I want you to be okay."
Mama nods—closing her eyes a bit like a dam to hold it all back. "Want you to be okay too, girl."
"But you know what, Mama?" I kneel down in front of her. Look up to her, her hand gently patting mine, her lips pursed trying to stop the tears.
"You're teaching me how to feel safe when I'm not okay, how to feel safe when I'm un-okay . . . how to feel how I'm beloved even when I'm broken."
The penned cross on my wrist is touching Mama's wet cheek.
"It's a needed thing, to be brave. But maybe there's a broken way of being safe enough to be real and un-okay. Maybe the bravest thing is to be real enough to say we're broken and unbrave — and trust we're still loved in our broken and unbrave."
One of Mama's white curls falls in front of her eyes. I tuck it gently behind her ear.
"Mama? You are the bravest when you speak your unbraveness. You are the safest when you are the realest. When you are the realest about your brokenness — that is when you can know you're most beloved."
I kiss Mama on the forehead and I can feel her press forward into me, into grace.
You are the most loved not when you're pretending to have it all together; you are actually the most loved when you feel broken and falling apart.
And maybe I'm just beginning to see?
I wipe the smudged cross off Mama's cheek.
"Anybody can shove their pain into a vault of numbness," I whisper it to Mama and the bustedness in both of us. "Anybody can pretend, masquerade in their cheap masks. But the brave feel their failures and abandon all efforts to lock out suffering. The brave let brokenness come."
You've got to go for broken. Go for broke. Something holy is happening in my broken places. Let all this suffering become love.
"Don't run from suffering; embrace it," Jesus beckons. "Follow Me and I'll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, My way, to saving yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you?"
I stroke Mama's cheek, whisper it again like a lullaby, rocking us mother and child, rocking us two old mamas. "It's the brokenhearted passion that's like His that's making us real, Mama."
Passion is a willingness to suffer for whom you love.
Passion isn't about desire but surrendered givenness.
Passion isn't about what or whom you want most, but for what or whom you most willingly sacrifice.
Passion—its broadest meaning is "to endure," "to undergo." That's the point, the sharp point: passion is literally about being willing "to undergo," to go under your cross and carry it for love.
Isn't that all there is? Carrying your cross is about carrying your pain in such a way that it makes it into love.
"Mama?" I lean in. "You didn't know how to make our little Aimee come back." She drops her head so I can't read her face. "You didn't know how to stop the voices that said you were a bad mother. You didn't know how to make your marriage survive. You didn't know how to let go of the lies. You didn't know how to go on—but you didn't grow hard in the midst of it."
You bore the pain and didn't turn away. You were patient with the pain. You were passionate enough, willing enough to suffer, to let yourself be broken into velveteen real.
Sometimes it isn't your fault. Life breaks us. The fall breaks us. The brokenness inside of us breaks us. These failures and relapses and suffering and sacrifice and service, all our little-deaths, this is the painful grace that can make the willing velveteen real.
"Remember that time I called you from the airport?" She smiles in spite of herself, tries to brush me away with her hand.
"Three hours before my flight, I'd dug through my bag but it wasn't there—my passport. And you found it in my desk." The light looks worn down to golden across the table, across her silver hair.
"You dropped everything, dropped all your plans for the day, and flung out in the middle of that blizzard."
She smiles, wipes her eyes.
"You drove those ridiculous two hours to the airport, detouring around how many closed roads and accidents?" Her laugh lilts a bit, and I love her even more.
"And you didn't even change out of your pajamas." I touch her hand. "You leaned out your snowy window, waving that passport like a victory flag.
And you were the most beautiful velveteen Mama I'd ever seen. You re-membered me. That's the gift you gave me, Mama. You loved me more than you."
She runs her hand through my hair, and Mama, she can only mouth it: "Thank you."
Mama and I are ringed in this fragile koinonia, this broken giving and receiving.
"Mama? Your heart's beautiful—especially the broken edges where you let the love get in."
She leans forward, kisses my forehead like, healing grace.
"You and me, Mama? We're becoming the Velveteen Real Mamas."
I carry home Hope's found glasses, finally seeing.
~an excerpt from The Broken Way, for all the women becoming Velveteen Real
Maybe what we want most desperately — is relief for our unspoken broken.
Maybe what we want most — but don't know how to quite find words for —
is healing for our unspoken broken, a gentle touch of hope for our Broken Way.
Maybe we want someone to be real, someone to sit with us so we know we aren't alone.
Maybe we want someone to hand us some Brave — and the truckload of grace that we're kind of wild for.
Maybe we want someone to reach for our hand — and give us courage to dare to take The Broken Way… into abundance.

'Ghostbusters 3' Returns from the Grave; Will Start Production Next Summer
You didn't think this would all just go away, did you? Based on how popular the Ghostbusters 3 news has been over the past couple of years, it really was a no-brainer for the studio to figure out a way to make this happen -- and figure out a way they have. According to Deadline, production is set to begin on Ghostbusters 3 this summer (fingers and toes crossed!), with plans to finally bring the sequel to theaters in 2014 to coincide with the original film's 30th anniversary.
Ivan Reitman will direct, and as of this moment Bill Murray won't be in it. Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis will return, and we assume Ernie Hudson will be there too, as well as Sigourney Weaver. Heck, if they can also find some wiggle room for Annie Potts, William Atherton and a surprise return by Rick Moranis, we would welcome them with open arms, hearts and minds (we miss you Rick!).
As of now, though, from what we've been told this sequel will focus on passing the torch to a younger generation of Ghostbusters, so expect a mix of the original stars and new, younger blood. Some names that have been rumored previously include Bill Hader, John Hodgman, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Emma Stone and more. Etan Cohen recently rewrote the script, and if things stay as is we expect to begin hearing casting news within the next couple of months.

Orlando Tizon Speaks on the DC National Mall on Ending Torture, January 11 2008
At an protest rally on the National Mall in DC marking the sixth anniversary of Guantanamo detention on January 11, 2008, torture survivor and antitorture activist Orlando Tizon spoke on his experiences as a subject of torture in the Philippines and the historical basis for American opposition to torture. You can listen to Tizon's remarks yourself by clicking here, or read the transcript below:
"Good afternoon. I am Orlando, and I speak for survivors of torture in TASSC [Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition], an organization of survivors of torture. For me, this Mall is a sacred place because it is a symbol of democracy and the independence the American people have fought for for centuries, more than two centuries. I face the Washington Monument. For me, that is a symbol of independence and democracy. It is a sad day that we are commemorating six years at Guantanamo prison, its opening, and that prison is a symbol of the destruction of the rule of law. It is a symbol of dictatorship.
"I was in prison for four years in the Philippines. I have lived under a dictatorship there. I was arrested, I was imprisoned, I was incommunicado for certain months during my imprisonment, I was subjected to beatings and forms of torture including mock execution.
"My brothers in Guantanamo are there, have been there for six years. Six years is too long. I know that because I was imprisoned for four years, and four years is too long. When I got out of prison after the dictatorship collapsed, through people power, I came to the U.S.. For many immigrants and refugees, the United States represents democracy and the rule of law, and we know that Americans are good people. They respect fair play and democratic rights. And that's why I came here among many immigrants and refugees and many survivors of torture with whom I work would like to come here also. But after 9-11 and after Guantanamo prison, we are throwing all of these ideas into the mud.
"In Guantanamo, torture is being practiced, despite the many denials of leaders. I think of what Vice President Cheney said, that waterboarding is 'a little dunking in the water.' And many of our friends in the press talk about waterboarding, calling it "simulated drowning." My friends, there is nothing simulated about waterboarding; it is drowning! It is torture. The only difference between drowning and waterboarding is that they don't let you die, because they want you to live and suffer the pain. Many survivors of torture, under torture, have asked their torturers to just kill them. It is better than the pain. Even incommunicado detention, which many of our brothers in Guantanamo have suffered, is torture. Being place in a cell for months by yourself without any contact from any other human being is torture. Psychologists and psychiatrists and scientists who have conducted experiments have proven that it is enough to make a person crazy.
"And so, I don't want to speak too long, because we have to march. For than more than two years now in TASSC International, we have conducted a campaign to repeal the Military Commissions Act, which was signed two years ago by the Congress. The Military Commissions Act is the legal foundation of the Guantanamo prison. It legalizes torture. It throws away Habeas Corpus. It allows certain forms of torture in interrogation. And it is a way through which the government and our leaders have tried to deny that the United States practices torture, that torture is going on around us. They want to keep it silent. They want to disappear survivors of torture. They don't want people to know that this is going on. And so we have been going on with this campaign to repeal the Military Commissions Act.
"We are going to have elections this year, and we hope that there will be change in the coming months. And we hope that there will be no torture again, and we hope that Guantanamo prison will be closed. We say, 'Close Guantanamo! No more torture! Repeal the Military Commissions Act!'"

FA nomination Edit
This is a self-nomination of sorts. I wrote it in the Voyager Comics page, and CaptMike moved it to its own (per the discussion on the comics talk page). We've discussed having a novel or comic as a featured article before, and I think this is the one to use. Jaz talk 17:42, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- Support -- (from nomination) Jaz talk
- Support -- i was waiting until someone found a novel or comic they liked enough to nominate before i threw any into the ring, this looks like a good one. -- Captain M.K.B. 21:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Oppose -- (see below) -- Aholland
- Support (But I don't know if the convention is to delete all the text in the "Discussion" section or not) Aholland 13:23, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- Support Jaf 18:04, 22 April 2006 (UTC)Jaf
- Support -- It seems to cover all the points and is quite informative.--Tim Thomason 19:06, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose -- This article has obviously taken a lot of time and effort to write. But as an article it does not analyze a subject, it does not pull together as a topic information from numerous sources, and it does not organize itself around a theme. Due to its subject matter - a summary - it is little more than a straightforward summary. The suggested criteria for featured status is, I think, missing in that it did not require a lot of research or citations, and its structure derives solely from a narrative copy of the subject matter rather than a considered effort to organize disorganized information. At heart, I do not believe a featured article should be one that can be written solely by describing "what happens next" and adds little more to that than links. With all due respect to Jaz, and whose article is quite well written (no small feat unto itself), I do not think that any comic book summary can rise to a featured article for the above reasons. Now, an overview of an entire series of comics, or comparisons among them, or a feature on a special artist, or even an examination of differences between the comics and the shows - that could require the degree of research a featured article should - I think - have. But not this one, I'm afraid. Aholland 00:13, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- If you read the featured article criteria you will notice that dislike of the subject matter is not a legitimate objection - if it covers the topic and is well written - as good as it can get for that topic - it should be featured. Based on this, I invite you to withdraw your objection. Jaz talk 00:30, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- I did read the featured article criteria. And I have no objection to the subject matter; it is a very nice summary of the comic. I am not trying to criticize the work, so please don't take it personally. It really is very nicely done. But going through the criteria:
- Well-written. It includes both style (very good) and content. It is the content that does not work for me. However well-worded it is, it is still a page by page, panel by panel description of someone else's story.
- Close to "perfect article". This is where it doesn't work for me. A perfect article has it own criteria. One criterion is that it be well-documented. That implies more than a single citation (the one issue) to my mind, and does not simply include multiple links. Another is that it thoroughly cover all aspects of the subject. There was virtually nothing about the artists, the writers, how it fit into the Voyager comics, how it fit into the Voyager series, or its successes and failures from any perspective. Also, a "perfect" article "includes contributions from many members. The best articles contain knowledge that has been submitted by a wide range of fans from all across the world, with different perspectives on the material." The subject matter here doesn't lend itself very well to multiple perspectives, which leads me to conclude that the subject matter (that content thing again) is lacking.
- It is comprehensive, accurate, stable and undisputed.
- It is the lack of original content, the lack of any substantive discussion of anything outside the one issue, and the lack of complexity that - in my opinion - make it not meet the criteria as stated in Memory Alpha. Again, I am not trying to say this is a "bad" article; quite the opposite. I just don't think it should be a "featured" article. So I do not choose to withdraw my vote at this time. I'm sorry. Aholland 01:10, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- I did read the featured article criteria. And I have no objection to the subject matter; it is a very nice summary of the comic. I am not trying to criticize the work, so please don't take it personally. It really is very nicely done. But going through the criteria:
- I see what your trying to say, but I feel this argument would be more suited for the Feature Article Criteria discussion as I feel it meets criteria. Nevertheless, I undertand your point, and I am going to start a peer review on it. On a side note, I really think it would be great to have a novel or comic featured - this one or another. It's something we've never done before and would be great step forward. There is also precedent for articles that simply explain all aspects of an offically liscenced works being featured, Star Trek: Armada and Star Trek: Armada II. Jaz talk 01:14, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- I'm glad you understand. Is there some comic-related article that is, perhaps, a general survey of a series of them? Or something that discusses major, interesting, differences between the series and the comics? Ditto novels? That is - to my mind - the sort of article that should potentially get featured status if well researched, well organized, and whose authors share your writing skills. I, personally, would like to see a comic or book article get featured status; the meta-universe articles are interesting too! Aholland 01:24, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Until quite recently, all comics in the same series were grouped together. Following a discussion of the comics talk page, CaptMike began moving them to seperate page, which seems to be neccessary given the lenght of some comics (see Trekkers for another long comic article, which incidentally, I also wrote). Unfortunatly, unlike episodes or movies there is next to no background information available, and most of the artist also have a low profile. Still, I think once a comic has reached its peak, the best it can get, I believe it should be featured. I think this discussion should be about whether or not Ghosts has reached its full potential. If so, I believe it should be featured. Jaz talk 01:30, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Wow, there's a lot of text here! I might need some of this dumbed down for a layman! I think expanding on the "characters" and "references" sections could improve this article, with more detailed descriptions of the various characters (what rank were they? division color of their uniforms? which ship was each from? ) I'm not sure what the objection is about the article not being "analytical" enough -- there are lots of featured articles about episodes which have (relatively) low amounts of background info, incomplete references lists, and no analysis save for a very long summary -- so I'm not sure what the objection is over -- unless you are saying that the list of currently featured episodes also aren't eligible. -- Captain M.K.B. 02:49, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- I think I would prefer to deal with articles as they are suggested here in future rather than comment on ones past or hypothetical ones. I stand by my comments on Ghosts, though: nice article, but doesn't meet "feature" standards. (In my opinion, and with respect for Jaz's writing abilities.) Aholland 03:10, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- And I'm sorry, but I forgot to address the note that my objection lacked substance. I believe I have pointed out where, in the Memory Alpha practices, this article does not meet the standards set out for a featured article. If there is something else that I need to say, or a preferred format to otherwise summarize my objections, please let me know. In terms of what could fix the article, more summations of the thing (uniform colors, for example) is not what I think would most help. Notations of the almost plagiaristic similarities between the story and "Yesterday's Enterprise", greater notations of differences between the way things looked or acted in the comic versus the show, something on the creative staff perhaps, how (and whether) this fits in with the Voyager sequence of events - in other words, many more things that go beyond simply describing the actions and dialogue in the story. That's what could raise this article up from a mere summation to an example of the best research, writing, and analysis that Memory Alpha has to offer. Aholland 03:29, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- I don't -- nitpicks of character differences is very encyclopedic, it certainly shouldn't be a criteria for FA. Jaz talk 03:34, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- I'd also log on to MA and read about registry numbers, obscure uniform colors and rank insignia details -- are you objecting to my suggested improvements because you "don't like" the subject matter? -- Captain M.K.B. 03:44, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Wow, there's a lot of text here! I might need some of this dumbed down for a layman! I think expanding on the "characters" and "references" sections could improve this article, with more detailed descriptions of the various characters (what rank were they? division color of their uniforms? which ship was each from? ) I'm not sure what the objection is about the article not being "analytical" enough -- there are lots of featured articles about episodes which have (relatively) low amounts of background info, incomplete references lists, and no analysis save for a very long summary -- so I'm not sure what the objection is over -- unless you are saying that the list of currently featured episodes also aren't eligible. -- Captain M.K.B. 02:49, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- You may have missed it above, but as I said I have no objections whatsoever to the subject matter. I have no objections to the suggested additions you would like to see, either. My point was that those additions would not, in my opinion, alter the article's basic suitability for featured status. It should be more than - essentially - a recap to be granted that honor. Aholland 03:48, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what it is you want. This is a wiki, so information on specific artists should be on their pages (in some cases, when those pages are made). I've added some background, and CaptMike and I have re-vamped the references and characters. I'm not really sure what else could possibly be done that would be encyclopedic.
- Also, take a look at some other feauted articles. I mentioned the armada games; neither of them have any background, just a very detailed summary, yet both are featured. Jaz talk 04:02, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Other articles notwithstanding, I really think that I've explained myself enough as above. I also think I've spilt enough ink over what is, basically, an opinion that I am standing by for now. Let's give someone else a chance to say something about it. :) Aholland 12:33, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Just so you know, there is now are now strong sections on Background and Artwork. Jaz talk 17:49, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- I think it is shaping up nicely - it's turning into more than just a synopsis. Recheck your newer sections, though; there are a few spelling/grammar issues. I'll re-read it again the next day or so and see how it stands. Aholland 03:47, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- Done. Jaz talk 06:28, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- I found a couple more typos, but went ahead and fixed them. I also added an image of the "Voyager senior staff" that included Kes instead of Seven of Nine since the former was in the comic. I think the article is now more than just a blow-by-blow description of the thing and I support its being a featured article. Nicely done, Jaz! Aholland 13:23, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Comics Edit
This article is looking great! I'm happy that someone suggested that we expand the comics articles -- i wasn't sure it would work until others started contributing and getting great summaries like this. -- Captain M.K.B. 21:16, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- I think I may have 2 or 3 more comics lying around my house; I'll see if I can write similar ones for those. Also, I think we should get a comic duty roster going. It definatly worked for the novel duty roster. Jaz talk 04:34, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
I can't find one, but if we have a picture from one of the earlier seasons of the Main Cast of Voyager (particularly including Kes) I think it would be much more appropriate than the Seven one. (Actually, I wonder if we should have the "Publicity" given every season...) - AJ Halliwell 06:40, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Peer review Edit
My goal with this page is to make it Memory Alpha's first Featured Article on a comic. I think the summary is pretty good, but not sure what else to add (and it has met some resistance on the Nominations page). Jaz talk 01:21, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- I'm wondering if we need to duplicate the credits in bothe the "creators" section and the sidebar table-- in other comic articles i kept the sidebar brief with just writers and illustrators, and used the longer list for the colorist, letterer, etc
- Also, are there any canon images or references we could expand on -- a picture of Adm. Hanso since he is mentioned, possibly with an expansion of how he was described in the story? (or would that be too much?) -- Captain M.K.B. 02:40, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know of an image with the full cast in season 1-3 (ie Kes instead of Seven of Nine)? The current image has 7 in it. Also, I have added some background relating to the timeframe. Jaz talk 03:52, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with Mike on the creators/sidebar issue. I think perhaps more quotes would be appropriate (if there are any other good ones). If the creators are shortened in the sidebar, maybe another image from the comic could fill in the space, if that's allowed (maybe Josh Rand if it's not too repetitive). I can't seem to find a cast image from the early seasons on MA, someone has to upload one I guess. I don't think more information on artists and writers should necessarilly be included, as that should be on the individual artist/writer's page. Some kind of real-world info could be helpful though, if there is any relevent info (was this a popular issue, or just a run-of-the-mill issue?).--Tim Thomason 19:18, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
I added changed the side-bar to only have writer and editors, the rest are at the bottom under 'Creators'. I also added the title page pic, but I think that is as far as we can push it (in terms of fair use), considering these are interior pictures. Jaz talk 19:29, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Any reason for the cover title being "Shadows from the past!", and not "Ghosts"? -- Cid Highwind 08:39, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comic book titles are traditionally located with the full issue credits on an inside page (sometimes after a page or pages of teasers), and are usually completely different from whatever cover blurb the cover artist or editor adds. The writer titles the story when he writes it, the cover artist and editor add the cover blurb after the fact as the comic goes to presses. -- Captain M.K.B. 14:25, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
OK, thanks Mike. I thought it could have been something special, worth mentioning in the article... but apparently, this is the norm rather than an exception. -- Cid Highwind 22:35, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Return to the Alpha Quadrant Edit
If Voyager had timetraveled to 359 six years earlier why didn't they remain there? 6 years isn't such a bad temporal shift and most could live with it. Does the comic explain this?

Baseball: JSerra gets comeback victory over Mater Dei
April 26, 2011 | 8:29 pm
JSerra has pulled into a first-place tie in the Trinity League with Santa Ana Mater Dei after rallying for a 10-9 victory on Tuesday night.
The Lions won the game in the bottom of the seventh. Nico Darras led off with a double. Pinch runner Parker Johnson went to third on a sacrifice. Then Joey Ponder put down a suicide squeeze, with Johnson sliding safely into home plate.
Pitcher Keaton Siomkin turned in a gutsy performance for JSerra. After giving up nine runs through four innings, he shut out the Monarchs the rest of the way.
JSerra overcame a 9-4 deficit and survived two home runs and seven RBIs from Mater Dei's Ryan Teel.
JSerra is 19-3 and 8-2. Mater Dei is 17-5, 8-2.

Iraqi, U.S.-led Forces Kill 20 Militants In South
The raids took place in Maysan, where Iraqi forces (above) took charge of security from British forces in April (epa) June 18, 2007 -- U.S.-led coalition and Iraqi special forces have killed at least 20 militants in a series of raids in southern Iraq.
The U.S. military said the overnight raids were carried out in Al-Amarah, the capital of Maysan Governorate, and the nearby town of Al-Majar al-Kabir.
Iraqi police said the clashes involved the Al-Mahdi Army, the militia commanded by radical Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
British forces handed back security control of Maysan, a predominantly Shi'ite region that borders Iran, to Iraqi security forces in April.
Elsewhere today, a policeman and a militant were killed in clashes that erupted between Iraqi police and Al-Mahdi Army fighters in Al-Nasiriyah, about 120 kilometers south of Al-Amarah.

We've not really featured any artists who specialise in glass so far in Designer Desire but that is about to change with this mosaic of work by Erik Höglund.
Best known for his people decanters for Kosta Boda (where he worked for 20 years), Höglund had a long and industrious career designing all manner of art glass. From the smallest coin-sized sun catchers to large-scale candelabra.
His decorative pieces are colourful and playful with organic, flowing forms. Many of them are designed to interact beautifully with light in some way – be it electric, fire, candle or the sun.
We have a few favourite pieces amongst this selection – perhaps the fabulous mid century modern fire-screen just edges it – or maybe that gorgeous ceiling candelabra. Tough choice!
There are always quite a lot of his works available for sale online – from just a few pounds to thousands & thousands. As a starting point, check out Etsy and eBay.
