IMAGE @20/ TODD McFARLANE 2: Creative Freedom & the Future
As Image Comics marks its 20th anniversary this year, it comes at a time when creative freedom in the comic industry is a hot-button topic.
Earlier this week, we started a conversation with Image founder Todd McFarlane about how far the industry has come in the 20 years since he and six other artists forged a path to creative freedom by launched Image Comics in 1992.
Many comic fans remember the event clearly, when McFarlane, Erik Larsen, Jim Lee, Rob Liefeld, Whilce Portacio, Marc Silvestri and Jim Valentino struck out on their own while advocating self-ownership of characters and concepts. They started Image Comics, a publishing house that soon began offering other creators the chance to publish books while still owning the properties 100 percent themselves.
Not long after Image's founding, McFarlane's series Spawn became somewhat of a phenomenon, inspiring a feature movie and later TV cartoon. He eventually began pursuing other business opportunities, including his action figure company, McFarlane Toys.
But he still works on Spawn, and has promised fans that there will be a movie someday soon, and that this time, he'll write the script and control the film's production.
In part 2 of our interview with McFarlane, we talk more about what happened 20 years ago, how it relates to creative issues today, and what happened to that Spawn script he promised.
Newsarama: Todd, let's go back to the early days of Image. You know, you talked about how difficult it would be to get together a union because of all the egos involved in the comics industry. And you know, a lot of people thought the founding of Image was built on egos, and I know it led to some conflict in your early days, didn't it?
Todd McFarlane: I'm not going to pretend and say we all don't have egos. Anybody that wants to be a freelancer and go out and try to survive in that type of industry — just like an actor or musician — you have to have some self-confidence. If you're a wallflower, you're in the wrong business.
So yes, the egos were there. But us leaving Marvel wasn't about that. We didn't think we were, like, deserving of owning Spider-Man or X-Men or something. We never had conversations like that.
Here's what happened. Rob [Liefeld] and Jim Lee and I sat with [Tom] DeFalco and Terry Stewart, when we made the announcement we were leaving. We didn't go there asking for anything. Terry Stewart has given a different story about what happened in that meeting, and it's just not true. He said he came in there asking for something, but that's just not true.
My wife was standing there with a four-month-old baby. She was in that meeting too. If anybody, she wouldn't lie, even to save me. And she'll tell you what really happened. She sat there and heard the whole thing.
We walked in and we asked for nothing. We just came in as a courtesy meeting, to say, "We are leaving." We said, "There's nothing that we're trying to negotiate. We don't want anything. We're just saying that we're leaving.
"Oh, by the way, here are some of the reasons why we're leaving. If it was me, I would do something about those reasons, because you might find next week that you're going to get another seven guys that are going to do the exact same thing."
And they figured it out, which is why they started bettering some of the conditions for the people who stayed at Marvel.
And then we walked across the street to DC to tell them the exact same thing.And they got the wrong impression because they thought we were there to get a job — because historically, if you quit Marvel, you go to DC; you quit DC, you go to Marvel, right? It was just a Ping-Pong ball.
So all of the sudden, we walked in there, I got Jim Lee with me, and he's never been into the DC offices. Their eyes got big. And they're like, "Oh My God!" And at least Todd had done some work for them, and Erik. But Jim was the golden boy at that point. Rob and I were sort of the pistols, and Jim Lee was the golden boy. He walked over there, and we sat down, and I think they thought we were going to say, "Hey, we just quit Marvel, so we're coming to work for you." And they were all excited.
But we just said, "Hey, we walked out of Marvel, and we're just here to say, we're not working for you either."
Again, we told them, here are the reasons why. Same conversation. "If it was me, I'd pay attention to the creative industry a little bit more, because this might become a regular occurrence. But you guys protect your business any way you see fit."
Nrama: So you gave both publishers a list of reasons?
McFarlane: Yep.
Nrama: Have those been addressed? Do you think?
McFarlane: I don't know if every little reason has been addressed, but overall? I think the answer, for the most part, is a resounding yes. Because the biggest reason was just a creative one.
And in a weird way, looking back on it now, they probably could have saved all this by just sort of humoring us a little bit, you know? This is where the ego and neuroses of artists comes in. At its core, all we really wanted was to just be acknowledged and involved in some of the decisions that were being made about the characters and stories we were drawing.
And see, things were different at that point in time. The way that it worked back then is that all the editors would get together, and they would have their editor's summit or meeting or whatever, and they would discuss the direction of the books for the next year. And at no time did they ever bring a creative person with them.
Now, when they have their big summits, and they have their big get-togethers, do they have creative people? Absolutely. In some cases, the Grant Morrisons and the Brian Bendises of the world are driving what's happening with these characters, instead of just sitting in the corner being humored.
Nrama: Yeah, and recently, a lot of artists are being given co-plotting responsibilities, and some are even full-out writing these books.
McFarlane: Yep. And you know, it just struck us as odd that they would go, "Hey, let's go and figure out what the direction of Spider-Man is. Oh, by the way, we've got this kid who's doing Spider-Man and setting sales records and is winning a bunch of awards, but let's never actively pick his brain and ask him for his input."
And you know, at worst, they could have let us come into their big decision-making meeting for an hour or so, let us give our opinion, then they could just politely sit there and nod their head, and when we left, they could have rolled their eyes and laughed behind our back and we'd never be the wiser. We probably would have been happy.
It was the exclusion of making those decisions about our future, and never involving us. You're making decisions about the direction you want to go creatively without any creators. It was bizarre.
And then when we went across the street to DC, I remember sitting with one of their executives, and they were saying, "Well, we're in the process of creating a new contract that will be better for the conditions and the working and some of the royalties of the creators. And we're going to do this because we're being proactive."
And I have a clear recollection, I have to tell you. I looked at them, and I said, "Let me just ask you a simple question. This piece of paper that you now have in front of me that's supposed to make all our lives better, that's supposed to make my life better and everybody else's life better. The creative community's life better. Let me just ask you one question: When you put this together, did you at any time ask a single creator about what he thought would make his life better?" And when I got the pregnant pause, I knew what the answer was.
So they just reinforced, when we went across the street, the same sort of mindset Marvel had at that point, which was, you know, we own this stuff and it's our book. And you know what? They were right! They own it all!I understand all that. I know they were the owners, and I'm not saying they maybe shouldn't have done anything different. It's 20 years later, and I understand it now even better than I did then, believe me.
I'm just saying that, given that you're dealing with a bunch of neurotic creators, somewhere along the line, you have to figure out a little bit how to work with them. It's like athletes that are super-competitive and egos too. You have to figure out how to keep them in the game plan, in the team.
Nrama: Yeah, but Todd, even the seven of you had egos that clashed. Was it tough to deal with all those egos after you left, while you were trying to start a business?
McFarlane: Yeah, sure. Sure. But that was the great thing about Image. Because it was this pass-through house, each one of us, as individuals, was allowed to run the business the way we saw fit.
Nrama: Were you at all surprised about the reaction from the industry when this happened?
McFarlane: There were sort of two reactions. There was one, there was a fan reaction, and it was huge. Bigger than any of us anticipated. And then there was sort of our peers' reaction, which was way less impressive. And I think part of it was, there was a bit of a jealousy factor in there. Once you get past all the rhetoric. I don't think there was anybody criticizing us that wouldn't have wanted to change places with us. I mean, if you had a chance to sell your own book and sell hundreds of thousands and own the lion's share of it, you wouldn't do that? I never understood it. But a lot of it too, not coincidently, came from some of the writers too. Because, again, a lot of us who were the original founders were all "artists" at that point. So I think there was this attitude that we didn't really know what we were doing but we were getting the spotlight. I mean, it was sort of like a trained classical musician going, how come KISS makes so much money? They're just guys in make-up who just bang out songs that are not overly impressive. So at some point, you don't argue with it and you just say, well, the consumer likes what KISS is doing. Why argue with it?
Nrama: Did you really just compare yourself to KISS?
McFarlane: Yeah, to some degree. Look, is KISS the best music band out there? No. Is anybody going to put them in the Top 10? No. Have they survived and been successful for 40 years in this sea of sharks? Absolutely. I tip my hat to that. I tip my hat to that. So you can criticize all you want. How many of those other people lasted 40 years in an industry that wants to destroy you every day? So I take my hat off to people who survive.
Nrama: How much of what happened in 1992 to the seven of you drives the way that you guys approach your business now?
McFarlane: I think it's an individual answer. The interesting book that could be written someday is taking the seven of us and saying, here's day one of Image, and then following them on the path and the trajectory of their lives for 20 years, and seeing how all seven of them went in seven different directions.
The only common denominator was that we had this backdrop called Image. But everybody went in a different direction. Jim with Wildstorm, Marc with Top Cow, and Erik and myself — we all went in directions that were personal.
But it speaks to what we said when we set up Image. "Just do what you want to do. Do what you want to do."
Nrama: And everybody got to do what they wanted to do.
McFarlane: Right. Good, bad or indifferent. Key point. Good, bad or indifferent. Just because one guy's doing something that good, that's working, doesn't mean that the guy next to him wants to do it, even if it's going well.I mean, Dave Sim never had to make a toy of Cerebus if he didn't want to. He had the personal freedom not to.
That's the victory to me of all of this. That's what creative freedom and creator rights and Image and all of this is about. It's not whether you make the right decision or the wrong decision or whatever. It's just that you are able to be the guy who made the decision. That's the piece of it, right there.
Nrama: When you look at comic books in comic stores now — and I'm sure you know what the landscape looks like, although I'm sure you're busy with what you're doing at Image — when you look at it, is there anything comparable to how you shook up the industry in 1992 that you would like to happen? Or that you would love to see shaken up in the industry right now?
McFarlane: No, not really. The only thing is that we seem to have gone sort of back a little bit to the mindset that the only thing that can succeed and the only thing that is successful is Marvel and DC.
I wish there was a little more support for the independent books, because then I think there's be more people willing to put their toe out into it.
Because remember, when we came out, a lot of our books were in the top 20 in the charts, so there was encouragement for people trying it. Now, because those books don't get a lot of support, per se, then there's not as much encouragement there. Arguably, you could say they're inferior books. That's up for debate. But I wish people wouldn't say, "Oh, I have to go do an independent book until I can get back onto Batman or Spider-Man."
With us, we were working in the other direction. We were thinking, we'll put our time in on Batman and Superman and Spider-Man until we can get out and do our own book.
But hey, if that brings personal happiness and satisfaction to that creator, then bless 'em. It's not for me to say that this is the path you must run as a creative person. They can do the opposite.
I'm just saying that, as Todd McFarlane, wired the way that I was, I had to do it differently from the way a lot of people are approaching it now.
Nrama: Well, Robert Kirkman did what you did. The same path.
McFarlane: Right. The example is still there, if somebody wants to make a concentrated effort. It's just that, sadly, there are few and far between that want to make a concentrated effort, which means you can't be writing the book for DC and Marvel and yourself and expect all those to be equal, because they're going to, oh, you're doing Broccoliman independently, but you're also doing Flash and X-Men. Oh, I only have a couple bucks in my pocket; times are tough, so I'm going to take the strong brand names. I'll take X-Men and Flash, and then maybe if I have some money, I'll come see what you're doing on Broccoliman.
But if you don't write Flash and you don't write X-Men, and all you do is Broccoliman and a couple other books for yourself, they have to buy those books if they like your writing. This is the piece that the writers never understood. And because artists can only do a page a day, whatever book we decided to do, it meant by default that we couldn't do any other books for anybody else because we could only do one book.So again, they didn't know anything about Spawn. They only knew one thing. We like Todd's artwork. Well, if you like my artwork, you've got to go to this book that you know nothing about called Spawn.
Robert Kirkman did the same thing. The reason he's the first writer to be a partner at Image is not because we're artist-centric. It's because he was the first writer to dedicate himself to Image. No other writer ever wanted to do that and say, I'm pulling all my work from your competitors, and I'm going to do three books for you, and I hope someday it will mean something to you.
And when Robert did that and pulled it, and because sort of exclusive to us, without us saying or making him do that — he just did it on his own — we started having conversations going, God, you know what? We should make Robert a partner, because he's actually showing the path of how writers can get to be partners.
Nrama: What do you think digital offers to creators in terms of creator's rights and creative freedom in the comic book industry?
McFarlane: I think what we'll see as years go by is that, for people who can't get their product distributed, or don't have the funds to print it up, you can now figure out, if you can convince somebody who has a comic book app, you can get your comic book out there digitally. You know? Justin Beiber was discovered on Youtube. So is there a digital comic book equivalent to that? I don't know. But I think it could happen.
Technology also changes the playing field because most everybody in the industry 20 years ago was in North America. Now, through the advent of digital, you can have people living anywhere. The guy that's been doing the artwork on Spawn for the last year is a kid I found off Twitter who lives in Poland. That would never have happened before the digital age.
Nrama: What do you hope happens for Image Comics in the next 20 years?
McFarlane: The simplest answer is that we still exist! Obviously, there are forces that are always pushing against smaller corporations — well, we're not a corporation, but more of a commune. But smaller businesses are trying to survive against the big guys, and in our case, that means Marvel and DC.
But you know, 20 years ago, people said we wouldn't last six months. But we're sitting here having this conversation.
So in the future, why wouldn't we be as nimble and be as flexible to be able to survive another 20 years?
We had to evolve over the years. We're not the same model that we were when we first started. It was sort of big, bulky, spandex superhero stuff. And now, I think, we do some of the better non-superhero books in the marketplace. And we encourage those types of books to come through the door. So I'm sure we'll continue to evolve in whatever way we need to, to survive in the comic book industry, whether that's in the print medium, digital or some other as-yet-to-be-discovered form. We're smart enough to figure it out.
Nrama: As long as I have you on the phone, what's up with that Spawn movie script you were writing, and the possibilities of a video game?
McFarlane: All the ancillary stuff will come pouring out fairly quickly once I get the big component done, once I announce a movie.
Do I keep nibbling away at it? Yeah. Do I keep getting distracted? Yeah. You know, we just had another conversation where I talked about clearing my schedule for a month and just going away and getting out of the office to finish it up. Because I just keep nibbling it, but I don't get tunnel vision on it like I should have.
People are still interested in it. An Academy Award winning actor came out to the offices and said, Todd, I want to be in it, so get that thing done. He calls me once a week going, let's go! Let's go! So we'll get that thing off the ground.But I just got #216 out, so there's Spawn available. I still have comic books and other things that I do. Another book done. We did 15 issues. Spawn did 15 issues last year, with the exact same writing and art team, and in all honesty, I can't recall the last time that was done not just by us, but by anybody. You know, 15 issues by the same creative team.
But nobody responded to it. Instead, what seems to be the trend is starting things back at #1, which I think is sort of a more short-term business move. We keep coming up with these short pops in the sales to do this stuff, but we're not helping the customer in the long term. I don't know. Maybe I'm becoming a bit of a dinosaur. I like the number 216. And the way to get sales up isn't to put in a new writer and a new artist. It's just to basically renumber. And the sales will go up, just by that one move. Don't change anything else but that one renumbering move. And mentally, the people ordering it and some people buying it go, oh, a jumping on point. I can get in there. So maybe I'll do a #1, then the second issue could be #217.
You know, Cerebus ended at #300, so I have to get to at least #301, just to break the record.

It's Christmas Eve here in my part of the world. I have a list of things I need to get done before the day is out, but for now I want to stop, and think about what matters, what really matters to me this Christmas.
Christmas is will be about family for me this Christmas. I am expected to be part of the family Christmas by some, simply because I don't have a family (I mean a partner and children) of my own. But that is small stuff compared to what matters to me. I play along to meet expectations but really my heart is some place else.
Yesterday I went to a family Christmas lunch. The whole family wasn't there, but those I wasn't going to see on Christmas Day were. I arrived on time armed with Christmas gifts for the children, only to find they had all started the meal without me. When I asked why (calmly and politely), there was no explanation forthcoming, and really all it did was tell me yet again, that to those people, I don't matter.
"Family isn't always about blood. It's the people in your life who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what."
I am fortunate to have some family members who are blood-related and fit this definition. They weren't there yesterday, sadly. The people who were there simply told me by their actions that I didn't matter… and yes, that hurt like hell.
I'm not going to get bogged down in how that hurt, but rather focus my energy on those people who do matter to me, and I know I matter to them. What is difficult is that this Christmas I am cut off from the people I would prefer to spend Christmas with. People who would want to include me and want to show their love for me.
I also want to be with my friends who are struggling this Christmas. Christmas can be a time of hurt and depression, and I hate that. I really hope that somehow those friends can find some peace tomorrow, and know that they are loved (even from afar)
Those I want to be with are thousands of miles away, and so today I will place them in my heart, where they belong. And I will take them with me as I celebrate Christmas tomorrow. That way they are with me, in my heart and the physical distance doesn't seem so harsh.
And to finish, a quote from my favourite wordsmiths. Not because it necessarily fits with what I have said, but simply because I like it.
"CALVIN: This whole Santa Claus thing just doesn't make sense. Why all the secrecy? Why all the mystery?
If the guy exists why doesn't he ever show himself and prove it?
And if he doesn't exist what's the meaning of all this?
HOBBES: dunno. Isn't this a religious holiday?
CALVIN: Yeah, but actually, I've got the same questions about God."
– Bill Watterson

HERCULES — A building near the city's waterfront that was at the center of a dispute over land use and zoning four years ago will be the subject of a community meeting Thursday — and maybe soon another tug-of-war.
The city-owned historic Civic Arts building, on Railroad Avenue near Santa Fe Avenue, is occupied by Sala Restaurant. The business is struggling, and in arrears on its rent, officials say. The city must decide whether to sell the building or hold on to it, perhaps for a civic use.
The Civic Arts building was built in the first half of the 20th century as workers' quarters, eventually becoming the Civic Arts Center, then a senior center and later a Tiny Tots preschool before it closed. It is adjacent to the Hercules Historic Homes neighborhood.
The Hercules Redevelopment Agency invested more than $1.6 million to acquire the 2,100-square-foot building and rehabilitate it to suit a restaurant. In 2009, restaurant co-principals Kay Sala and Glen Cole entered into a five-year lease with the redevelopment agency at $3,465 a month, with two five-year renewal options. A clause in the lease allows it to be transferred or assigned subject to landlord approval, which would leave open the possibility of another restaurant opening at the site.
In January 2010, the City Council approved an amendment to the lease that authorized another $230,000 as a loan for tenant interior improvements.
Details of the rent arrears or the loan were not immediately available Tuesday. Calls to Sala Restaurant were not immediately returned.
The 2009 lease signing came more than a year after the city announced a tentative deal with a restaurant that surprised neighbors who said they thought the city would turn the Civic Arts building into a historical museum. Many complained that the noise, smell, light and traffic of a restaurant would spoil their quality of life.
Other residents, mostly outside the immediate vicinity of the Civic Arts building, said a restaurant would be a wonderful addition to a renascent Hercules waterfront area.
In 2008, the City Council rezoned the area encompassing the building to allow a restaurant.
Some neighbors eventually embraced the restaurant but many others did not. Don Goewey, who lives in one of the nearby historic homes, said the noise from the restaurant's exhaust fan was even worse than anticipated. He said the building was too far off the beaten track for a restaurant to succeed and lamented all the money the city spent on the idea.
"That building is historic," Goewey said in an email Tuesday. "It has the most beautiful view in all of Hercules, overlooking the Bay. The sunsets there are Hawaiian-like. Our citizens should be able to access the site for their relaxation and enjoyment. It should be given back to the people of this town, as it was originally intended."
City Manager Steve Duran said that under rules accompanying the state's abolition of redevelopment agencies earlier this year, agency properties generally must be sold to pay off agency obligations but in some cases could be transferred to the city for civic uses.
It was not immediately clear how these rules would apply to the Civic Arts building in view of a June 9, 2009, council action that approved the transfer of the property from the redevelopment agency to the city for $1.

The shrinking pot
2010 has been an interesting year , at least for me. During this economic slowdown my business has not slowed down-it actually set records in terms of incoming orders in 2008 and 2009 and looked to be doing the same in 2010 until about mid August. Suddenly, the phone stopped ringing.....normally I would welcome some hours where I could just weld and not have to jump up and go to the phone every 10 minutes. Now , a typical day will be largely devoid of the phone ringing and I can merrliy weld away on the now rapidly shrinking list of orders. Last year at this time I had about three times the orders on the list as I do now in the fall of 2010. Is this the economic slowdown finally catching up with me , or did I do something to piss off the frame buying public at large ?
This is the dilemma of the self-employed small framebuilder: What ca we attribute a sudden silence of the phone to ? Economic trends ? More competition from newer builders ? Maybe our style has become outmoded as we have not evolved with the ever changing trends in bike building ? It is stuff like this that keeps people like me awake at night .......what did I do to cause this and what, if anything can I do to turn things around ?
Maybe , there's a reason I'm not really taking into account-perhaps what has caused this lull in new business is something I didn't cause and maybe it is something I can't do anything about. I know well that what I do is largely a luxury and not something of an impulse purchase.....people plan ahead to get a custom frame, way ahead in most cases. Sooo, if the slowdown in my business isn't caused by me and cannot be changed by me , what the heck do I do ? Maybe I should shut the hell up and do my job, at least while I have it. As I have said before , I'm very lucky to have work in this fickle field and the run of the last 7-odd years has been exceptional. All over the world people are looking at situations much more grave than what I am faced with-it's time for me to take whatever resources I have and do something for folks less fortunate than myself. If my business does not survive this slump I would rather go out on a note of having done some constructive and community-based work rather than having some sort of 'fire sale' or the like. Maybe a lull like this is a time when I can attend to projects long neglected........maybe all I need to do is to start restoring that old Colnago and as soon as I get about halfway though , the phone will start ringing again and all of my noble efforts will come to a grinding halt while I go back to earning a living.....or not !

One of the first things to be cut in a down economy is advertising. Contrary to that action, a recession is actually the best time to INCREASE advertising. In fact, it's almost a requirement. That said, you should consider engaging in ad space in both print and web, where it will reach your target audience, of course. A revamp of your web site would be a good investment to draw interest as well.ReplyDelete
It would also be a good idea to get together with some of the other full time framebuilders and see if they're experiencing the same thing. Brainstorm ideas to generate interest or lower costs such as a group buy of tubing or other supplies. Now might be a good time to lobby a magazine such as VeloNews to include more content on custom framebuilders in their 2011 Buyers Guide.
Framebuilding is one of the crafts where the competition is friendly and it appears everyone is willing to help out. Collectively you all can weather the economic storm we're in. It just takes someone to get the ball rolling.
It'd be a shame to lose your talents or that of any of the full-time framebuilders to the recession.

...or just start working on that old Colnago.ReplyDelete
Funny you should mention advertising. I'm sending a bike to a magazine for a test/review. I know well that you have to stay visible if you don't want to be forgotten.ReplyDelete

Discussing the recent exposure of the make-up of the House committee on science when it was viewed in light of current issues involving a woman's reproductive rights, I remarked that the most depressing thing is the committee members' total ignorance of science. Science has come under attack by the religious right entirely for the reason that both cannot be right. Either we evolved from primitive forms over hundreds of thousands of years, or we came into existence at the same time as dinosaurs approximately 6,000 years ago. Take your pick. Acceptance of one negates the other -- for you at least. And you can fall back on a ton of scientific data that says only fools go around claiming God put fossils in the earth "to fool the Darwinists."
Almost all of the committee members debating such things as trans-vaginal devices, sonograms of fetuses, funding for birth control advice groups, &c. are Republicans, and I'd wager all are evangelicatholics. (These are Christians who tend to be evangelicals or Catholics, and both houses of Congress are full of them.) They have them in the Senate, too; however, the ones in the Senate tend to be more sensible and less likely to choose myth over reason. The most alarming thing about the committee, however, is that its members know little to nothing about science. They do not care about the scientific method. Do they know that critical thinking leads to rejection of dogma? Are they afraid that if the atheists take over, the nation will be given over to immorality? Do they believe Eve talked to a snake and that Mosheh went up the mountain and came back with the Decalogue -- Moses, a totally mythical figure having no recorded history whatsoever.
Ignorance of science led to the humiliation and torture of untold thousands who uttered truth in the face of fiction. Galileo is the most famous, but he was not the first nor last, and dogma's imprisonment of humanity, its enslavement of us through silly proscriptions and appeals to fear and superstition, its justification of our irrational treatment of others unlike ourselves -- all are part of a continuing history of violence, intimidation, and terroristic tactics. Yes, terrorism! When these lunatics inspire others to murder abortion doctors, torch gay bars, drag African-Americans by rope behind pick-up trucks, &c., &c., &c., what else can their words of hate be seen as?
Ignorance of science is the most disturbing thing about religion. After all, if you can say, "Trust in the Lord" and go about your day without a thought to why prayer was seen in a study to make hospital patients actually get worse, then you are a danger to humanity. The same fatalism we criticize Muslims for exhibiting our own religious people prove part of their mind set. "The Lord will provide." Better apply for food stamps. "God helps those who help themselves." Help yourself to a bank vault through force of arms. Science has explained all of the mysteries, but people go on believing. They know nothing of science and they do not want to know anything of it. Their pastors and priests do not want them to know anything about it, either.
The Bible says that the truth shall make you free. If the religious nuts have their way, there will never be freedom. Only freedom from dogma is devoutly to be wished.

One can't blame them too much, the basic tenets of thier faith are not often unclear and sometimes contradict each other.
James...Good points. Something I've been saying (though not to believers) for years: If your faith is so strong, you don't have to broadcaast it, and you certainly don't have to pay attention (much less riot) if someone disrespects it. These are the signs of a weak and insecure religion (and they all are).

This is drawn from this angle to get a feeling for its peculiar sprawling stance and huge body. The only extant comparison of a creature approaching this size, but nothing like the bulk, would be the Komodo Dragon, which after all spends a lot of time resting its body on the ground.

Burbed doesn't usually venture to Napa, but fortunately Burbed reader Cathy did and submitted this great find. Cathy had this to say:
Everyone loves cars, right? Right? Zoom zoom zoom!
Indeed. Everyone knows that cars and driving were invented in California – a reflection of our state's innovative past. This house, located in the land where wine was invented, celebrates this past tradition. It's only a matter of time before this becomes a national historic landmark – and let's just say, they're not making more of those!
Here's an additional photo that the Realtor included:
For those non-Californians are too dull-witted to understand what's being implied in this picture, here it is: "Psst, there's room for parking for 3 more cars here."
Thanks Cathy!

MODESTO, CA -- The YMCA of Stanislaus County in Modesto, CA, recently announced it will put its facility up for sale because of a $2.5 million deficit stemming in part from mortgage debt, debt reconciliation and renovations, according to the Turlock (CA) Journal.
The facility also has accounts payable and endowment liability, says Phil McGovern, chief executive officer of the YMCA of Stanislaus County. Adding to the Y's woes are declining memberships and fewer donations and grants. However, the Y is expected to continue operations at the location as well as other locations in the county, the newspaper reports. It is the only Y in Stanislaus County.
A press release from the YMCA of Stanislaus County states that its board has not yet determined when the property will be listed for sale or what the asking price will be.
"We certainly hope to occupy a facility again, but at this point, we don't know when that will happen," McGovern says.

Fred Julsing Jr. was born in The Hague as the son of painter and illustrator Fred Julsing Sr., who drew a couple of comic books under the pseudonym Larry Morgan in 1948. As a very young artist, he published his first cartoons in the magazine Autovisie (1958), and two years later, he won the prestigious Jacob Marisprijs, The Hague's municipal award for art, for his lithographies. Immediately after that, he decided to start investigating the other love of his - the comic strip. He did so at the Toonder studios, which he joined in the early 1960s.
Tom Poes en de Hupbloemerij (by Fred Julsing & Marten Toonder, 1968)
After assisting Thé Tjong-Khing on 'Student Tijloos' and Jan Wesseling on 'Koning Hollewijn', Julsing became Marten Toonder's closest assistant in the production of the famous 'Tom Poes' newspaper strip. For six years he took care of the layouts and the sketches on that strip, while Toonder himself did corrections and inks.
De Broertjes Samovarof & Co (Pep #44, 1974)
At the studios, he has also worked on the series 'Kappie' and 'Panda', as well as his own comic 'Komkommertje en Martien', that appeared in the advertising magazine Journaal 2000 in 1970. In addition, he did comics and illustrations for Baljuw, Sjors and Ariadne, while his first personal comic story 'Klinsklansklandere, van de ene bil op de andere' was published by the Dutch Society for Sexual Reform in 1968.
André van Duin
After this educational period the time had come to start a career under his own name. He joined the magazine Pep in 1970, and after some 'Pepspotters', he came up with the series 'Wellington Wish' (1971-1973) and 'De Broertjes Samovarof & Co' (1974-1975). Furthermore, Julsing was an editor and lay-out designer for comics information magazine Stripschrift (1972-1973), a political cartoonist for Het Vrije Volk, and the author of a comic strip about Dutch comedian André van Duin for Veronicagids (1975).
Fred Julsing was one of the artists involved in the 'Toon en Toos Brodeloos' strip, which a team of seven artists produced in 1976 for VPRO-Gids, the magazine of broadcasting company VPRO. Each episode was a satirical story about one of the Dutch broadcasting companies, drawn by a different artist. Julsing did the one about TROS, while the other artists were Joost Swarte (AVRO), Evert Geradts (KRO), Joost Troost (EO), Rob Gorter (NCRV), Aart Clerkx (VARA) and Harry Buckinx (VPRO). The stories were collected in a book by Har van Fulpen's Drukwerk in 1976.
Tuimel en Ich
Following the disappearance of the magazine (Sjors and Pep continued as one magazine under the title Eppo in 1975), Julsing intensified his production for the magazines of the publishing house Malmberg: Okki, Jippo, Taptoe and Primo. He had already done illustration work for Malmberg's school magazines, but between 1977 and 1980 he created longer and popular comic stories like 'De schat van het landje' (Jippo, 1978), 'Robinson' (Taptoe, 1977-78) and the first installment of 'Witte's Dagboek' (Taptoe 1979-80).
Het Blauwe Licht
Julsing made new episodes of 'Witte's Dagboek' in cooperation with Theo Steeman for Donald Duck weekly in 1986 and 1989. Julsing cooperated with the Malmberg magazines until 1993, and especially his adaptations of fairytales in the 1980s got him praise and even an award in 1985.
Witte's Dagboek (Donald Duck #29, 1986)
Julsing additionally made illustrations for text stories in Donald Duck, the Spanish Cat stories by Hans Dorrestijn in Het Parool and editorial illustrations in Wij Jonge Ouders and Vrij Nederland. Another comic strip of the period was 'De Familie Uittentuis' for ANWB Kampioen (1983-84). But his best-known creation became the baby 'Ukkie', whose adventures he created for the women's weekly Margreet between 1983 and 1990. The character was also the mascot of a large line of food products in the 1990s, for which Julsing also produced many illustrations.
Another remarkable comic by Julsing is 'Tuimel & Professor Ich', that originally appeared in Sjors & Sjimmie Stripblad, and was published in book format in 1989. Although only one book appeared, the Professor Ich character gained a wider reputation through the chain of comic book stores of the same name that started in the 1990s. In the early 1990s, Julsing also wrote three episodes of the comic series 'Fanteasy' for his pupil Jeroen Steehouwer.
Pietsie & Pop (Taptoe, 1993)
In 1992 Fred Julsing barely escaped from the inferno caused by a crashed Martinair DC-10 in the south of Portugal. Realizing that this event represented the turning point in his life, he withdrew in order to "reinvent himself". After that, everything in his life changed, and he moved to California. His final comic strip was 'Pietsie & Pop en de Zonen van O' in Taptoe (1993).
From: Tien jaar net niet dood
He began making spiritual paintings and dealt with the experience of the disaster in 'Tien Jaren Net Niet Dood', an illustrated chronicle of the plain crash that was published in Het Parool in 2002. By then, Julsing planned a comeback. New work popped up on websites, he created the character of 'Beertje Bertje' and he did some advertising artwork. Unfortunately, Fred Julsing died in January, 2005, at the age of 62.
Lambiek will always be grateful to Julsing for illustrating the letter "W" in our encylopedia book, 'Wordt Vervolgd - Stripleksikon der Lage Landen', published in 1979.

02.04.13: The No. 8 ranked CCRI Lady Knights basketball team traveled to New Rochelle, NY to play defending the national champion Mustangs of Monroe College. The Lady Knights lost to the Mustangs 94-75. With the loss the Lady Knights fall to 19-3 on the season.
Saturday was just not the Lady Knights' day as Monroe started hot and the Lady Knights came out a bit flat. That is all the high-powered Mustangs needed as they jumped out to a quick lead which they extended to 19 points by halftime with the score 52-33. The Lady Knights played the Mustangs even in the second half but could not cut into the Monroe lead as the Mustangs cruised to the 94-75 victory to snap the Lady Knights' five-game winning streak.
Leading the way for the Lady Knights was Captain Jahira Smith (Brooklyn, NY) with a game-high 25 points, including two 3-pointers with seven steals, six rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot. Smith's 25 points gives her 897 for her career and moves her to No. 4 on the CCRI all-time scoring list passing Jeanell Hughes 882 and Taylor Simmons 894. She needs just 16 points to pass Denise Scott in third and 20 to pass Claudia DeFaria in second place. With five regular season games left and the post season she has a very good chance to be the first Lady Knight to eclipse the 1,000 point mark. Also playing well for then Lady Knights was Moe Plummer (Fairfield, CT) with a19 points on an impressive 8-11 shooting from the floor and Ahnyyah Jackson (Hackensack, NJ) added 11 points, three steals and four rebounds. Rounding out the Lady Knights top performers was Lexi Barros (New Bedford, MA) with nine points, five assist and five rebounds and Nyjah Porcher (New Britain, CT) added eight points, 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals.
Head Coach Kate Lynch commented after the loss: "We did a lot of uncharacteristic things today, including missing 17 free throws. We missed crucial box outs, we made mental errors on the defensive end, our execution was poor. When you play a team like Monroe, you can't do those things and expect to win. Hopefully we bounce back and learn from this. It is better to learn now than in a month."
The Lady Knights' next game will be Wednesday February the 7th when they will host the Warriors of Massasoit Community College for a Region XXI non-league game at 7:00pm at the Vincent A. Cullen Fieldhouse located on the CCRI Knight Campus in Warwick.
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

In a gleeful Google+ post, Hugo Barra, director of product management for Google's Android project, lauded the still-growing success of Android around the world.
"Today is a big day for Android ... 500 million devices activated globally, and over 1.3 million added every single day," wrote Barra in a brief but pointed post Sept. 11 on his Google+ page.
What he didn't note-and what he didn't have to note-is that the milestone was being announced on the eve of Apple's iPhone 5 launch Sept. 12.
That subtle dig at major rival Apple seems to be part of the very competitive landscape in the mobile device marketplace wars nowadays.
Further reading
"Apple has been a great success," said analyst Maribel Lopez of Lopez Research. "Android, with all the [patent-infringement] lawsuits that have been going on between them, wants to demonstrate that they have great momentum and that their product is very strong and sells well globally."
At the same time, she said, the market is still very young and undeveloped, which means that more shifts and changes are likely to occur. "The interesting thing is that we're still in such early days of the market. Most people are still getting their first smartphones, or people are upgrading to new ones. So this is by no means over."
That's great for the market and for consumers, Lopez said.
"It's good to have a healthy competition between the two," she said. "It keeps innovation moving forward in the market."
Wally Swain, an analyst with Yankee Group, said that the market wars between Apple and Android actually are different, depending on where you are in the world.
"The numbers, the buzz is all toward iPhone now [due to the Sept. 12 iPhone 5 launch], and it is tremendously important for what future smartphones are going to be," Swain said. "But the bulk of the market globally is Android. The raw numbers are for Android, especially outside of the United States," in places like Asia and other regions where there is a huge Android bias.
Apple is certainly trying to counter the growth of Android with innovations and new devices such as the iPhone 5, but that could be tougher to do now since competitors are also bringing interesting new ideas into their devices and capturing the attention of consumers, according to analyst firm Ovum.
"Apple needs to do much more than the widely expected hardware revamp of the iPhone to lead in the smartphone market," Adam Leach, leader of Ovum's Devices and Platforms practice, said in a statement. "[Ovum] expects that the new iPhone will be Apple's most successful smartphone to-date. However, without a redesign of the iOS user experience and underlying software platform in the next two years, Apple will find itself in a position similar to Nokia and RIM, which found themselves with outdated smartphone platforms that needed replacing."
Apple can't rely solely on customer brand loyalty to keep its smartphones as popular as they have been since the iPhones debuted in 2007, according to Leach. "Whilst the company is still reaping the rewards of the brand equity of the iPhone, consumers are notoriously fickle when it comes to buying handsets. Without the continued innovation which we are accustomed to with Apple, the company risks losing consumer appeal."
Whether the new iPhone 5 can help Apple continue its past success will soon be seen, he wrote. "The iPhone re-defined the smartphone category in 2007, but it can't rely on past success to guarantee its future or rely on litigation to keep its competitors at bay."
The U.S. market for feature-rich smartphones is still expanding at a rapid clip, with two-thirds of new mobile phone buyers opting for devices that can do far more than their old-style flip phones, according to a study from Nielsen released in July. Google's Android operating system is the beneficiary of this surge, although the iPhone still holds sway.
"Android continues to lead the smartphone market in the U.S., with a majority of smartphone owners (51.8 percent) using an Android OS handset," according to the Nielsen data. "Over a third (34.3 percent) of smartphone owners use an Apple iPhone, and BlackBerry owners represented another 8.1 percent of the smartphone market."
Apple handsets have the highest manufacturer share of the U.S. smartphone market overall, Nielsen reported, but in June, about 54 percent of handset buyers chose an Android handset, compared with 36 percent who bought iPhones.
In May, an Ovum report projected that Android will dominate the smartphone market through 2017.
Ovum said it expects Android to hold 48 percent of the smartphone market by 2017, while growing at a slower pace than it has recently. In 2011, Android's share jumped to 44 percent, up from 2010's 17 percent. Apple is expected to control a 27 percent share in 2017, up from 2011's 23 percent share, with remaining smartphone players following at a good distance.

Robert Griffin III underwent reconstructive knee surgery Wednesday and faces a challenging rehabilitation if he is to return for the start of next season.
The Washington Redskins quarterback had his lateral collateral ligament repaired and his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee reconstructed for a second time. The surgery was performed in Florida by orthopedist James Andrews, who was optimistic that Griffin would be back on the field this fall.
"We expect a full recovery, and it is everybody's hope and belief that due to Robert's high motivation, he will be ready for the 2013 season," Andrews said in a statement released by the Redskins. "The goal of his treatment is to give him the best opportunity for a long professional career."
Griffin tore the ACL in the same knee in 2009 while playing for Baylor, which could slow the recovery time from his latest injury.

Kingston HyperX Black
Once you go black...
Published: 27th April 2013 | Source: RushKit |
Kingston is well known for their memory kits. From the budget range stuff to the blistering high end, Kingston will more than likely have a kit to suit you. Today's offering is the HyperX Black kit, a sleek little number that we'll be giving the once over to see what it's like in the flesh.
The kit we have on show is the 1600MHz 8GB (2x4GB) kit - the staple of any PC looking to get serious with components. The little beauties that we were sent run with 9-9-9-24 timings at 1.65v, and there are a variety of different timings and operating voltages available with different kits. Let's have a look at the rest of the memory's specs before we get into the video.
|Kingston HyperX blu black
|Memory Type
|From 2GB to 8GB per module
|1333MHz - 1600MHz
|XMP Ready for easy overclocking
We love that Kingston are paying more attention to their lower end modules by creating great looking memory at affordable prices. We truly love the look of this kit and would be happy to see it paired with any system. The speed of the memory is what we now think of as the entry-level for those wanting computers with 'proper' hardware. That's not to say that this speed won't be enough for the vast majority of people, only that there's seldom any point in going any lower.
Due to the speed of the modules you'll need to go into your motherboard's BIOS to configure the settings yourself. This can either be done by enabling the XMP profile, which will automatically set up the RAM's speed, timings and volts, or you can do it like all enthusiasts should - manually! This is a simple process that we at OC3D have covered before. If you're interested in manually setting up your memory watch this video that shows you how.
Overall we love this memory kit. Looks aren't everything, sure, but everyone loves a bit of eye candy when it's done right, and with the HyperX Black it's nigh on impossible to go wrong. The all black PCB complements the heatsink perfectly, creating an understated look that would go well with any motherboard. It's about time that all manufacturers begin to make their lower-end kits as good looking as Kingston has. What's more, these modules stand at a mere 30mm tall, allowing plenty of room to fit under a NH-D14. For the low price that memory can be found today there really is no reason not to consider these.
Thanks to Kingston for the HyperX Black kit on show here today. You can discuss your thoughts on the OC3D Forums.

(Mar. 4, 2007) - Winthrop scored three runs over the first two innings, and Jason Franzblau threw a complete-game six hitter, as the Eagles snapped the Bucs' four-game winning streak, 5-2 at the Coca-Cola Classis Sunday afternoon.
The Eagles (10-7) took a 2-0 lead on a pair of first inning sacrifice flies off of freshman starter Drew Story (Jefferson City, Tenn.), snapping the Bucs' 20 consecutive scoreless inning streak.
Trailing 3-0 in the fourth, junior Anthony Russell (

Franzblau struck out six batters and walked none in his complete game effort, improving to 3-2 on the season. Story surrendered three run in an inning-plus of work, dropping his second straight decision and falling to 1-2 on the year.
