In some families they go around the Thanksgiving Day table and each person is given a chance to share something they're thankful for or something good that happened in the previous year.
When it was my turn I'd be so thankful for my favorite subject-that would be boating-they'd have to shut me up or else the just-baked turkey would get cold.
Boating is my year-around Thanksgiving feast, my bread and butter. Office hours are long, but the activity usually doesn't sink to the pejorative category of "work." Boating also is my favorite off-duty recreation. Either way I'm around boats and I am thankful.
So thankful, in fact, that I am going to start talking up the idea of having a day set aside each year for boaters to be thankful for boating.
On Boating Thanksgiving each year, as we sit for the meal, each person would be thankful for something good that boating, just boating, has done for him in the previous year.
For myself, I am thankful for 25th anniversaries. Vic and I celebrated two recently, our marriage and our business.
I really enjoy chartering boats to people from all over the world so they can cruise the beautiful, sheltered waters of Southwest Florida. For this and for another year of helping boaters achieve higher levels of boating skills to maximize their fun sailing and power cruising, I am thankful.
I am thankful for a summer without storms, for happy hours on the dock and happy hours on the deck watching glorious sunsets with friends, and for many evenings afloat under the stars.
I am thankful for beach-combing treasures-sea-sculpted driftwood, colorful crab pot floats, and exquisitely-shaped shells that wash up on the shores of the sea shell capital of the world.
Boating Thanksgiving is for looking ahead to the next 12 months, too. I look forward to another year of cruising with our honorary first mate Star, our border collie. This year I'll introduce boating to our two newest kitties. Boat-trained cats make terrific boating companions, I'm told.
After everybody has paid their oral tributes to boating and voiced their exuberant hear, hears and clunked their plastic glasses together, it would be time to eat.
Every boating family will have to create its own menu for Boating Thanksgiving Day. I'll be serving up our traditional Florida feast of cold stone crab claws, hot oyster stew and corn bread stuffing.
Whatever you serve on this day, serve it with a cup of compassion for your fellow citizens, a pint of peace for the world, and a big scoop of hope for brighter days ahead.
Hear, hear.

Have you heard about the new movie that's coming out soon? It's Avatar, a sci-fi by James Cameron. That's the dude that directed Titanic if you didn't know. Check it out!
Are you gonna see it? Thoughts? It's coming out in December btw.

^LOL, Avatar (2009) is a vastly different movie from The Last Airbender (2010). The name can be confusing, especially for fans of the Nickelodeon series, but these are very different movies...
That being said, ZeBird0 we're all geeks here, so we don't want to hear that James Cameron did Titanic. Instead we want to hear about Terminator (1 & 2), Aliens, and The Abyss .
My basic stance of the movie hasn't changed in the past 2-3 years of hearing about it: either it will usher in a new age of film making (and Cameron will finally get around to doing his Battle Angel Alita films), or it will suck something fierce. So far, some of the stills look good...real good, but this is definitely a film where if it doesn't live up to some of its hype, then careers could be ruined...

Whatever what one may think of James Cameron as a person, there's no denying that he is one of the most effective directors of all time. He has only directed seven feature films, but of them, one was ahead of its time (The Abyss), one was a decently-received blockbuster (True Lies), three were genre-defining smash hits (Aliens, The Terminator, Terminator II), and one was the biggest moneymaker of all time (not accounting for inflation). While there are directors who can beat Cameron in terms of quality, there really aren't any that can match his level of success. As such, it's going to be interesting to see if Avatar can match up to his previous works.
While the Avatar film has a ridiculous budget, it's very likely to make all of that money back unless Cameron gets uncharacteristically undisciplined. Given that he hasn't made a new feature in a decade, I really don't think that this will be the case. Whether the film is going to be any good is open to question, but quality (and the lack thereof) doesn't seem to have stopped other films this summer from making oodles of money.
I also don't think that Cameron's reputation is all that much at risk either - lots of people hate his guts, and that has never mattered all that much. As far as the studios are concerned, he's got the golden touch, and it's a hard point to argue against.

^You delibrately left out the great Piranha II: The Spawning .
Seriously though, much the same as Titanic, Cameron's career is on the line (or at least his big budget career). This film has been so hyped that if Cameron doesn't at least show what the other side of the Uncanny Valley could look like, then there will be quite a few upset fans. And, if the story is too intelligent, then the average viewer might be turned off (generally speaking big and dumb sells far better than big and smart (just look at Spielberg's criminally underappreciated A.I.)). In the end, I do have great hope for this feature, but, some part of me (my cynical side) is kind of expecting something similar to the abysmal Robert Zemeckis CGI films. So, while I want the best, I am prepared for the worst.

Cameron is a pretty good director but he has been prone to making pointless movies like T2. Titanic also seemed heavily dragged out back then. Regardless, I'm pretty curious to see what this movie has in store. I've only heard about this movie yesterday. 4Tran mentioned that Cameron's going to need new CGI techniques to make this movie. I won't deny that, but I do hope Cameron doesn't focus so much on the CGI that the plot will be lost within it.

Hmmmm, saw the trailer today.... all I can say is that for those of us who have been immersed in MMO, RPG worlds or even just read science fiction --- there's nothing new here at all. Even the plot appears pretty basic (one blogger evoked Ferngully ).
For the average public though .... this is probably going to be pretty "out there amazing". I'll most probably see it to decide whether to recommend it to my non-scifi relatives and acquaintances.

But Cameron's take on these stories have spawned nothing short of masterpiece films.
A plot does not have to be unique and original to make a good film.
That being said, there's an obvious parallels drawn to this film and history of early America.
I can't wait, I have great expectations for this film.

Yeah.... I see my post didn't really convey that I'll probably enjoy the film anyway... I was more commenting on the "general population" seeming to think this was somehow mindblowingly original rather than a well-executed tall tale.

I have seen trailers of Avatar and it does look amazing.
However, I was a tad disappointed after watching mostly
because I expected to see Aang and the gang from
AVATAR: The Last Air Bender (etc). xD;
I am considering going to see the movie in the cinema though.
It looks very interesting. :]

Graduate Fellowship in Regional Science
Graduate students enrolled in Ph.D. programs in North America are encouraged to apply for the Eighteenth Benjamin H. Stevens Graduate Fellowship in Regional Science, administered by the North American Regional Science Council of the Regional Science Association International (NARSC-RSAI). This Fellowship, in support of dissertation research in Regional Science, is awarded annually in memory of Dr. Benjamin H. Stevens, an intellectual leader whose selfless devotion to graduate students as teacher, advisor, mentor, and friend had a profound impact on the field. Regional Science is a multidisciplinary field concerned with the theory and method of urban and regional phenomena. Regional Scientists apply theoretical and empirical frameworks and methods of the social and other sciences, as well as develop new ones specifically for regional analysis and policy.
Eligible students should have completed all degree requirements except for their dissertation by the time the Fellowship commences. A requirement of the Fellowship is that the recipient has no duties other than dissertation research during the Fellowship, although the recipient may hold other fellowships concurrently. Applications from students working in any area or any Ph.D. program are welcome as long as their dissertation research addresses a research question in Regional Science.
An application consists of the following materials:
- A curriculum vita of no more than two (2) pages in length.
- A statement in ten (10) pages or less explaining the questions and issues to be addressed, the approach to be used, and the product expected from the dissertation research, preceded by a summary (1-page maximum) describing the intellectual merit of the proposed research, and the broader impacts that may result. The 10-page limit is inclusive of references, but exclusive of tables and figures. This text should be in 12-point or larger font, double-spaced, with one-inch margins; references may be single-spaced.
- Copies of the candidate's transcripts for all graduate study. Unofficial copies are acceptable.
In addition, the dissertation supervisor shall provide a confidential letter sent separately as an attachment from her/his email account with the student's name in the subject line to Professor Mario Polèse. In the letter the supervisor should assess the quality and significance of the proposed dissertation research, specify the current state of progress toward the candidate's degree and provide a commitment by the dissertation supervisor to obtain a tuition waiver for the candidate for the year of the Fellowship. A condition of the Fellowship is the granting of a tuition waiver for the year of the Fellowship by the university, or equivalent payment of the student's tuition.

What user Say about Bounceland Castle W/Hoop Inflatable Bounce House Bouncer?
A Durable Well-Made Bouncehouse
I have been looking to buy a bounce house for my daughter's second birthday. I had read the review on this bounce house and the other similar one by Bounceland. These houses are just superior! I was quite impress with how well made the house is. I had the house up for my daughter's birthday. We had five girls playing in it from age 18 months to age 8 at the same time. They played together for 6 hours nonstop in the bounce house. I actually had to drag my daughter out long enough to open presents, get cake and say goodbye to guests because all she wanted to do was play in the bounce house.
I now have it set up in the our family room over the winter. It fits just fine even with low ceilings. You need a room at least 16 feet to accommodate the air intake tube from the motor in addition to the house. The motor has an easy off and on. Occasionally my daughter will even go and turn it on and off by herself. I would suggest buying a giant rubbermaid container to keep the house and…

text: Hi everyone, I have a Droid 2 with the extended life battery. I'm not as smart as many of you and haven't done anything fancy with my Droid, and for the most part, I don't have any issues with it. Until recently... On Monday, I unplugged it from the charger at 7:30 a.m. and by 10:30 a.m., it had 5% battery left, was running painfully SLOWLY, and was very hot! I sent probably 5 text messages in those 3 hours, and nothing else. I charged my Droid back to a full charge and it still drained the battery super fast, ran slowly, and got really hot, so I powered it off and turned it back on. Then it was back to normal. Until today... I browsed the web for a few minutes at lunch. During those 5 minutes, it started running super-slow, the battery went from 50% to 30% in a matter of minutes, and the top rear part of the phone got really hot. Once again, I turned it off, then back on and now it's fine and consuming battery at a regular pace. Other things that I've seen mentioned in discussions similar to this that I think bear mentioning: GPS is off, display is quite dim and only for 30 seconds. I use Spare Parts, and it looks like what's consumes the battery the most is "Motorola Services". Ironically, when I looked at what was running during the time when it got hot and slowed down, Motorola Services had just started. Ummm, what do Motorola Services do? And is it normal for them to make my Droid behave in this manner? Could it possibly be something wrong with my Droid? (Somehow I suspect the problem is me, but I've learned quite a lot on here, so I hope that it's not). Is there ANYTHING I can do to solve this problem? Thanks, Jess

Grae's Rating:
For the outcast in all of us.
An audience doesn't have to directly relate to every element of a story in order to come along for the ride--they just need to have a point of access that helps them buy into the rest of it. In an emotionally dense piece like Pariah, it's risky--there are numerous obstacles for the audience to stumble over. Alike is an African American lesbian teenager, desperately working to keep her head above water while dodging life's bullets. Those years are challenging enough when you're not worried about being "found out," or why "what" you are is even bad in the first place. Director and writer Dee Rees, along with a phenomenal performance by Adepero Oduye, gives plenty of points of access for audiences to identify with Alike, and the result is rewarding, rich and universally important.
The first point in this movie's favor is that it was so subtly performed by such talented actors that it felt like a documentary, which made me remember that Alike is the kind of kid that the "It Gets Better" campaign is made for. In fact, I am still having trouble believing Oduye is not actually that teenager (in fact, she's 33 and was pre-med in college). The entire cast works the same way. Who are these people, and can we get them in more films? Alike's best friend in the world, Laura (Pernell Walker), only has a few short films on her IMDb page, but her talent suggests something different. And even though I recognized Kim Wayans playing Alike's mother, I figured I was just watching what she does off the set. Most films these days are so predictable and lazily written that you can practically hear what went on in the pitch meeting and on the set. Not here, though. This movie was charged with the kind of energy, frustration, fear, and vulnerability that I remember from my own teenage years.
Even though it won the cinematography award at Sundance in 2010, the film's visual style only seemed obvious a couple of times--that's how much the movie gripped me. Its constant darkness, its shadowed alleys and late nights, all seemed to reflect Alike's troubled, searching eyes. Things only get lighter when there is a glimmer of hope for her in the form of a beautiful girl who likes her, bringing rare rays of sunshine and beauty to replace the harsh fluorescence of reality. It's so nice to see Alike and Laura smile, I can almost tell you the time each one occurs.
Movies that try too hard to send a message are a bummer. This film, like Andrew Haigh's Weekend about two men who meet on Friday and are in love by Sunday, resonates with me the same way this one does. It's all about the perils of being human and figuring things out. Sometimes you come across shocking heartbreak and slaps to the face, but occasionally life will serve up a platter of beauty, with gentle caresses and sweet kisses. We make it through both because we are tough, but the details don't really matter. We can all identify.

Bruce disappointed with Norwich winning goal
Hull City manager Steve Bruce was disappointed with the way his side conceded the crucial goal in Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Norwich City.
Ryan Bennett headed the winner three minutes from time at Carrow Road on Saturday, meeting Robert Snodgrass' corner to consign Hull to a fourth defeat in their last five Premier League games and earn Norwich their first win seven league matches.
To make matters worse for Hull, Tom Huddlestone was sent off for a second bookable offence right at the end and will now miss Saturday's trip to Southend United in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Bruce, who said he had no complaints over the red card, could not hide his frustration at the manner of how the winning goal came about.
"Unfortunately what's cost us is (Liam) Rosenior, who was arguably our best player, has come off the post to pick somebody up," he said.
"The lad who he's gone to pick up goes and heads it and he's not on the post. Yannick Sagbo was picking up their centre half (Bennett) but then he came off.
"We tried to get onto Nikica Jelavic to pick him up, but unfortunately that communication didn't happen. And Liam who usually stands on the post has to come and pick him up and unfortunately he's got caught underneath it and where he heads it is where Liam should be, so it's a touch disappointing.
"Overall, second half we were disappointed in the way we handled the ball. When you do that and don't play as well as you'd like to, to come away with a point would have been terrific, however. it wasn't to be."
The closest Hull came was when Jelavic, signed in the week from Everton, struck the post in the second minute, a miss that left Bruce to further lament his side's luck.
"He's done everything right," he said.
"His connection is right, it's on his left foot and he's struck it really, really well and I'm expecting it to nestle in the back of the net.
"But it's hit the post and missed by two inches, so on another day it would have nestled into the net and what a start that would have been for the lad."

Improving Antiretroviral Medication Adherence Among HIV-infected Youth
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.

- How to Read a Study Record
HIV is increasing among adolescents and young adults in the US. Antiretroviral medications, when taken correctly (≥ 90% of prescribed doses taken), can vastly improve life expectancy. However, adherence among HIV-infected young people is suboptimal, and few interventions are available to help adolescents adhere to treatment.
The study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) pilot trial of Positive STEPS (the adapted form of the Life-Steps behavioral intervention) to improve medication adherence among HIV-infected youth. The study will allow us to demonstrate participant acceptance, ability to recruit, feasibility of intervention delivery with study counselors and all study procedures, and initial clinically significant improvement in medication adherence via MEMS caps. This research will lay the groundwork for a federal grant application for a multi-site randomized controlled intervention trial.
|Condition or disease
|HIV Infection
|Behavioral: Positive STEPS
|Not Applicable
- To conduct a randomized controlled pilot test of a behavioral adherence intervention to improve medication adherence among HIV-infected youth aged 13-24. Feasibility of all study procedures and participant acceptability will be assessed.
- To explore whether the intervention leads to improved medication adherence among youth who receive the intervention, compared to a control group of youth who do not.
40 HIV-infected adolescents will be recruited for a RCT pilot of the Positive STEPS intervention at Fenway Health and Children's Hospital Boston. Participants will be randomized into one of two arms (half and half). Randomization for all participants will occur after the beginning of the week 2 study visit. The duration of the study is 3 months
The investigators will conduct block randomization based on two categories of electronic adherence: 85% or above versus < 85%. All participants will have exhibited some non-adherence in order to be eligible for the study, although they may vary in the extent of non-adherence. Because insufficient information is known about the range of non-adherence in the population to determine the most valid non-adherence cut-off points, the investigators may need to reconsider adherence categories over the course of the pilot study. The investigators will regularly examine the data to determine whether finer adherence categories are needed, and the investigators will adjust the categories if such a determination is made.
Intervention arm:
- Participants will receive one on one Positive STEPS counseling sessions (~1 hour sessions per week for 5 weeks).
- Participants will receive motivational reminders to take medications sent via text message to their cell phones
- Participants will receive the Medication Event Monitoring Systems (MEMS) pill cap monitoring device to measure antiretroviral medication adherence.

No Intervention: Condition
In the comparison condition, participants will receive MEMS only.
Experimental: Positive STEPS
Behavioral: Positive STEPS
This intervention is given to patients in the experimental condition only. The Positive STEPS intervention-developed by our team—is based on general principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy as well as more specific principles of motivational interviewing32,33 and problem solving therapy. Informational, problem solving, and cognitive-behavioral STEPS are targeted over 5, in-person, intervention sessions with a PhD-level counselor. The intervention will also include a series of short videos related to the topics that the Positive STEPS intervention covers with participants. Participants in the experimental condition can also choose to receive text messages sent to their cell phone to remind them to take their medication.
- Electronically monitored (MEMS) antiretroviral medication adherence [ Time Frame: 3 months ]The primary outcome will be antiretroviral medication adherence. Adherence will be measured through the medication event monitoring device(MEMS).

Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes illustration will appear here.
Personally I loved the book. I thought it was an excellent book. If you like touching true stories then you'll love it , because it really did happen. There is also a picture book but I didn't like it nearly as much as the novel. They left out most of my favorite part's but the illustrations where beautiful. In Japan they erected a statue in Sadako's honor. Sadako's courage is honored in Japan and it should be in all of our hearts, too.
I recommend it to all age groups. Even adults love it as much as me and I love it a lot. I even heard about a professor reading it to his college class. At the end of the book there wasn't a dry eye in the place. I think that even boys would like it. Grade seven students that are studying Japan should read it.

You could say 'in front of me' in the queue example, though the use of 'before' sounds a bit more polite. With the window example- we do use 'stand before'. If the window were a special window, it would make sense- I'd use stand before with something more remarkable than, say, a grocer's shop.

Help others like Julian Gomez by giving a Heifer today.
Colama, Nicaragua — Julian Sequiera Gomez and his family have been farming the rocky, volcanic soil of Colama for years, coaxing corn, wheat and beans from the fertile but often dry earth.
Two years ago, he became a Heifer International project partner, receiving a pregnant heifer.
"Seven months after Heifer gave me the cow, she gave birth," says Gomez, the father of six daughters. "Before, I didn't have cheese and milk. Now I have milk and cheese for my children."
The protein from the gift of a cow form Heifer has improved his children's health, and with the income earned from the sale of surplus milk, Gomez can buy school supplies for his children.
Down the hill from Gomez's house sits Colama's sturdy cinder-block school. Painted blue and white, it holds about 60 children, dressed in white tops and blue pants or skirts. The classes stop after the sixth grade, so children who want to continue their educations must pay to take a bus to a school about 20 miles away. The income from surplus milk covers bus fare and gives Colama's children an opportunity they wouldn't otherwise have.
Their teacher, a serious seeming young man, permits his charges an unscheduled recess and the children swarm outdoors.
Six-year-old Cindy Brizuela Salgado shyly tells a visitor she wants to study to be a doctor "because I want to help the sick."
I want to help the sick. - Six year old Cindy" That is My Promise to Heifer" "Soon, I will pass on a calf to another family," Gomez says, standing outside his tin-roofed house of rough-hewn boards. "That is my promise to Heifer. I'm going to give to Heifer two calves from my cows. That way I help two families."
Years of civil unrest have scarred Nicaragua, leaving it one of the poorest nations in the Western Hemisphere. Although poor, the country is beautiful and the people, often quiet at first meeting, grow friendly through conversation, freely giving of what they do have—juicy oranges, sweet pineapples, tender avocados and other tropical fruits fresh from the trees that surround their houses.
Colama is home to about 135 families living on small plots of land scattered along a network of dirt roads, almost all of them farmers producing just enough food to sustain their families. The simple gift of cows provides Heifer project partners with better nutrition, but it also gives them a chance to generate income for medicine and education.
And by providing these families with a living, fewer heads of households have to leave their homes to seek work in other countries. They can hold onto their land, and families can stay together.
A few miles from Gomez's house, Rafael Acosta Tellez and a couple of neighbors have herded five heifers into a trailer in preparation for "Passing on the Gift," the Heifer Cornerstone that requires project partners to give the firstborn animal to another family in need.
"I feel very good with this project," Tellez says. "I'm keeping my promise with the other families, and I'll still have cows for my family."
Heifer has helped a lot of people here.
Rafael, Nicaragua
"Heifer has helped a lot of people here," he says. "Before, there was nothing. Now we have work."
Jazmina Acosta Miranda, Tellez's daughter, is just 18, but she is looking forward to the day when she has her own cow to care for. Her aunt, Elbia Brisuela Arguello, is part of the extended family. Arguello, who has a 5-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl, says of her children: "They can drink milk every day. They're never sick."
Feliciana Jarquin Alvarez and her husband, Seferino, each received a Heifer cow. But before they could get the cows, the families of Colama had to learn how to take proper care of them, what to feed them, where to keep them so they would be safe.

Clive Davis Stands By Kelly Clarkson Comments in Book
Music industry mogul Clive Davis has responded to Kelly Clarkson's claims that he is spreading false information about their working relationship in his memoir, 'The Soundtrack of My Life.'
Uncle Clive responded to Clarkson's open letter with the following statement, standing behind his account of how things went down with them, which Clarkson vehemently disagrees with.
As anyone who has read 'The Soundtrack of My Life' knows, I think Kelly Clarkson is a tremendous vocal talent and performer. In the book, I provide an in-depth look at our years together during which we shared major multi-platinum success, as well as a few creative differences. I am truly very sorry that she has decided to take issue with what I know to be an accurate depiction of our time together. Before the book was published, I had every fact checked with five independent individuals who were present on a daily basis throughout it all. The chapter as it is written was thoroughly verified by each and every one of them. I stand by the chapter as written in my book. At the same time I wish, and will always wish, Kelly's talent and her career to soar to ever new heights.

Check out his solo EP 'Inbox' on his own bandcamp page:
Keep an eye out for his upcoming release 'Electronic Mail' too... I'll let you know for sure!
DJ Manchild, Charlie Bucket and Arks like funk, soul, afro, latin, hip-hop, disco and cheap puns.
Well sit back and let me learn you up... They are but men. Yet they are men unlike any others, oft separated by 3420kms of continent but drawn together by a love of fine musics, the lost art of moustache wearing and the majesty of expert swordsmanship. You've seen them shirtless, riding stallions in slow-motion on the beach undoubtably off to rescue some hapless, buxom environmentalists. You've heard tale of their exploits fighting hordes of invading Mongols alongside peasant villagers in the deepest Amazon. Sure they have occasion to gad about town quaffing cognac, wearing Blue Stratos cologne and indulging the fairer sex in their charm, wit and sparkling repartee but for all their futuristicness these are no robots. They are men. Men who all the while remain committed to their one true cause - being totally awesome Disc Jockeys.
Such are ways of The Gentlemen Of Leisure. They are men who stand together, alone in the sea of shit that is this interweb thingamy. They are freedom fighters. They are tireless artistes. They are the leaders of free men. They are first among equals. They are equal among firsts. They are each equal part lover and fighter. They are both Man and Beast.
They are the Gentlemen Of Leisure.
In New York he and two friends were inspired to start an large afro-beat ensemble, The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra, which has since played Big Day Out, WOMAD and Falls as well as sold-out shows across Australia.

by God-Man » Sun Jan 16, 2011 12:26 amCasanova was pretty good. I don't know if I'll keep reading the book on my own, but it was fun.
And...that's it. See you next week!
by Royal Nonesuch » Sun Jan 16, 2011 11:58 amIt's always good to see a writer just cut loose on a book, and that's what Matt Fraction uses Casanova for. Every single panel just throws another bit of content at the reader, and the book is just totally manic. GULA #1 feels like it just keeps going and going and doesn't stop. As much fun as Fraction has here, Fabio Moon, one of the better visual storytellers out there, is the real star of the book. There isn't an out there idea that Moon can't effectively express. CASANOVA: GULA #1 is packed, and doesn't really take much time to breathe, but it is a lot of fun.
by thefourthman » Sun Jan 16, 2011 10:52 pmSPIRIT, YAY!
by guitarsmashley » Mon Jan 17, 2011 8:23 pmI don't know if I'm going to bother reading this. I started but I really don't give a shit about it. I read Cassanova vol. 1 and thought it was great but then I read it again and it was very emperor has no clothes. So this book isn't really on my short list of worth reviewing.
by Punchy » Tue Jan 18, 2011 8:20 amCasanova: Gula #1(of 4) - 'In Media Res' b/w 'When The Wolf Comes Home' - Fraction, Moon and Peter
Story - Reading Casanova makes you cool. This is a fact, it cannot be disputed, Casanova is just one of those comics that transcends the medium and becomes a legitimate pop-cultural object of cool. And I have to say it, the fact that I'm one of the select few to have already read Gula makes me much cooler than you. Yes, you, and especially you.
Gula is the second arc of Casanova, encompassing issues 8 to 14 of the original run, and unlike the first story, Luxuria, it hasn't been collected, making people like me part of an exclusive club, of your social betters. Gulunatics maybe? I don't know. But basically, I've already read this story, which is important, as even though I've already read it, I'm willing to pay for it all over again, and love it all over again.
Casanova is a mad book, stuff happens and often you can't keep up, but then again, half the time, I don't think you're meant to keep up, the hyper-complexity of Casanova is pretty much one big joke, it's a comment on over-complicated science-fiction. But it is also itself over-complicated sci-fi. Fraction's ability to tilt the absurdity to almost-but-not-quite parodic levels is one of the finest writing balancing acts I've ever seen. The closest comparison I can think of is The Venture Bros, which manages to have an epic superhero mythology that is simultaneously a parody of epic mythologies. The fact that each issue of these Icon reprints is actually 2 Image issues only adds to that hyper-complexity, you aren't given a month to chew over what the hell happened, you are given a page!
To be fair, the first few chapters of Gula are fairly straightforward by Casanovian standards. Casanova takes out a ridiculous villain (Dokkktor Klockhammer), and is then called in for a new mission, to discover the mysterious H-Element. He then disappears. 2 years later, Kaito is now a super-agent, and a weird 4-armed alien chick shows up. None of this really matters, it's just a hook for cool dialogue and action. But at the same time it all matters. We then follow the adventures of Casanova's evil sister Zephyr and her new boyfriend Kubark Benday. The plot here is largely irrelevant (or is it? It's both!), what matters here is the sheer joy, fun and invention that leaps off the page, the one-panel blaxploitation poster for example, it's just great to see someone play around with comics.
In re-reading this issue, you see how Casanova actually does have hidden depths, there are clues here to the question of 'When Is Casanova Quinn?' that at the time seem like goofy jokes, and may have actually been jokes at the time. That's the problem with intellectually discussing Casanova, it robs it of it's Casanova-ness. It's a comic which is deep, but doesn't particularly want to be, to discuss it seriously is just a dick move, it's a lot more fun to just sit back and enjoy the insane ride, and cool dialogue, because not caring is what cool people do, and cool people read Casanova, not once, but twice, and three times on Sunday.
Art - One thing you do have to take seriously when it comes to Casanova is the art, because it really is one of the best looking comics on the stands. For this second arc, Gabriel Ba is switched out for his twin brother Fabio Moon, and really, they're both as amazing as eachother. Their styles are similar, but Moon's is probably a little looser, and a little more expressive, but whatever, whichever of the twins it is (and if you're fourthman, you think they're the same person) you're guaranteed 10/10 art all the way. These Icon reprints of course also add extra colours to the book, the original Image run being in only blue and white, which I loved, but hey, the market demands extra hues, and Cris Peter does a good job of adding more colour when it's needed, but in general keeping the blue tone. I don't really think the added colour is necessary, but if we have to have it, it does look good.
Best Line - Too many to choose from! 'I could go for like, 200ccs of fuckin' awesome injected in'ta my heart... stat' is a good'un, but every page has something worth a chuckle.
by Greg » Tue Jan 18, 2011 8:21 amI have to say, I really enjoyed this. This was a lot of fun.
by Mammon, Fool Breaker » Tue Jan 18, 2011 3:29 pmCover- Nothing to flashy, but the color scheme was nice, the layout is good. (5/10)
Story- A little bit confusing at the start, but after a few pages and meeting all the characters things became much more clear. The murder of the poor magician twins was particularly memmorable. (6/10)
Art- My first time seeing art by Fabio Moon, it fit the story well, and I never found myself confused by the art. (5/10)
Overall- When compared to Weird Worlds #1... this was freaking amazing! (6/10)
Final score- (5.5/10)
by Zero » Tue Jan 18, 2011 4:49 pmRead it today, reviewing it tomorrow hopefully. It was dead good.
by BlueStreak » Tue Jan 18, 2011 7:21 pmThere are few books that deserve multiple printings. Casanova is one of them. Witty and absurd, smart and thought-provoking, Matt Fraction provides the comic book medium with a book that shines above its peers. This is a book that is awesome even when it's not trying to be. With gorgeous art, strong pacing and fantastic characterization, Casanova provides hope that the comic medium will endure forever.
by Greg » Tue Jan 18, 2011 7:28 pmI was pleasantly surprised. I read the very first Casanova issue when it was released by Image Comics and while it became a cult hit, I just couldn't get into it for some reason. I found myself easily confused and just uninterested. So I wasn't expecting too much with this one though I did keep in mind that maybe I'd be proven wrong. And thus I was. I very much enjoyed all of this. I don't know about much of the praises and trashing Fraction gets, but based on this one read alone I can see myself being very much into his writing. It was fun and zany and just plain catchy. The characters with their own voices just popped and it was very much like watching a guy come up with random pieces of ideas and toys and finding a way to piece them together to make sense of them. Another thing working well for it was that you definitely had to keep your mind invested in order to keep up. That may have been my problem with the first issue of the series as a whole. Based on this alone I'm quite interested in checking out the previous runs. I wasn't completely wow'd, but a book like this definitely reminds me of why I love the medium of comics and just what can be done with it when a creative team just lets themselves enjoy themselves without editorial mandations... or just plainly having skills to execute a good and trippy story.
Another plus goes to the book having no decompression in sight and also the fun interview in the back of the book. Definitely felt like money well spent.
by Punchy » Mon Jan 24, 2011 5:09 pm
It's the same story in all 3 formats.
by ****** » Mon Jan 24, 2011 5:41 pm
Yeah, but 2 of the formats suck.
by Punchy » Mon Jan 24, 2011 6:17 pm
By that logic you should give every book we review a bad score because it's not a trade paperback.
by ****** » Mon Jan 24, 2011 6:20 pm
I do when the creators don't make better use of the single issue format.

TAMIU SBDC Workshop Focuses on Understanding Credit, Budgeting April 30
The Texas A&M International University Small Business Development Center (TAMIU-SBDC) will hold "Understanding Credit and Budgeting," a workshop, on Thursday, April 30, 2009, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., at TAMIU's Western Hemispheric Trade Center 103. A $20 fee will include workbook.
What is in a credit report? A credit report includes information on where you live, how you pay your bills, and whether you've been sued, arrested, or filed for bankruptcy. Nationwide consumer reporting companies sell the information in your report to creditors, insurers, employers, and other businesses that use it to evaluate your applications for credit, insurance, employment, or renting a home.
Help guard against identity theft. That's when someone uses your personal information – like your name, your Social Security number, or your credit card number – to commit fraud. Identity thieves may use your information to open a new credit card account in your name. Then, when they don't pay the bills, the delinquent account is reported on your credit report. Inaccurate information like that could affect your ability to get credit, insurance, or even a job.
Attend this informative seminar to learn about: credit reporting myths, disputing inaccuracies, rebuilding credit and debt management.
To register, call the TAMIU-SBDC office at 956.326.2827, or e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
To register online log on to sbdc.tamiu.edu
Office hours are Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Pam and Tom Cooper are the co-founders of Boosterville, a Memphis-based startup with an app that helps school fundraisers raise money by connecting them with local businesses.
The Coopers have an initial $15,000 investment that came with being part of Memphis' Seed Hatchery program. Friends and family chipped in $10,000, and the Coopers also are pursuing an additional angel round of funding.
What makes the Coopers unique among Memphis' entrepreneurial scene is not just the fact that theirs is a startup launched and run by a husband-and-wife team. In addition to being new to Memphis' startup community, the Coopers also are new to Memphis.
They relocated to Memphis recently from Indianapolis to participate in Memphis' Seed Hatchery program. And while they're not the first out-of-towners to go through it, the Coopers' participation in Seed Hatchery shows that the accelerator program for high-growth companies is an attractive component of the entrepreneurial ecosystem here – for startup founders both in the city and beyond.
"Memphis is on the verge of exploding as a hub of high-tech high-growth startups," said Pam Cooper, the Boosterville CEO, who married her husband, Tom, six years ago and soon after that started brainstorming ideas for a company they could start together. "The diligence of Seed Hatchery staff like Eric Mathews, Andre Fowlkes and Elizabeth Lemmonds in connecting the entrepreneurial community with the movers and shakers of Memphis has been phenomenal. Investors in Memphis are starting to realize that just because they don't live in Silicon Valley doesn't mean they can't invest in a high-tech venture and have a shot at a (big) return that these kinds of companies can bring.
"That's why Tom and I were attracted to Memphis. The energy around the startup scene here is not found on this scale in Indianapolis, where we came from. And Tennessee's state government initiatives to back the startup community are years ahead of Indiana's."
Cooper's husband is a software architect, co-inventor on five granted U.S. patents and 32 other patent applications, including Boosterville's. She said he's worked on a handful of startups in the past, but always as the implementer of someone else's idea.
–Pam Cooper CEO, Boosterville
His wife, meanwhile, has a non-tech background that includes owning a service franchise for 22 years and more than 20 years' experience in volunteer leadership, including with her children's schools and fundraising.
The inspiration for Boosterville draws partly from that background. Cooper said her mother, sister and niece are all music teachers, and she recalls her grandmother – who also was a teacher – tasking her students with selling magazine subscriptions 60 years ago to raise money for a projector.
"Tom and I decided that applying technology to school fundraising would be the perfect marriage of our experiences and backgrounds," Cooper said. "We started investigating other startups in the space, and found nothing very innovative – mostly different spins on 'donate now' campaigns or discount cards. Having been the business owner constantly hit up for donations for silent auctions and sponsorship of sports teams, I knew I wanted to create a company that helped local businesses get more customers – not with loss leaders or deep discounts, but just by being a supportive community partner."
The Coopers designed the Boosterville platform to incorporate digital wallet payment and geolocation technologies to be used on any phone with a browser. With the app, school supporters can easily identify merchants who've agreed to participate in the Boosterville network by allowing a percentage of the sale to be donated to a selected charity.
The supporter makes their purchase using their phone, bypassing credit card processing fees for the merchant.
Four MBA students at Christian Brothers University worked with the Boosterville team to evaluate and streamline the merchant acquisition process. In recent days, the team also met with Project Green Fork executive director Margot McNeeley, who is facilitating connections with restaurants.
Moving here to Memphis, Cooper said, made possible things that not might not have been elsewhere.
Said Cooper, summing up her feelings about launching the venture here: "Memphians really know how to reach out and connect people."
