Dark Horse Company Theatre is a victim of its own success.
Its spectacular 2010 production of Reefer
Madness set the bar so high, it would obviously take some time before the plucky Park
City-based troupe could ever manage to top it. And, unfortunately, that time has not yet arrived.
It's not for lack of talent or ambition; Dark Horse has both in spades. It's just that Ring of Fire is exactly the wrong material for a theater company whose bread-and-butter is satirical camp and cabaret. The music of Johnny Cash must have looked like a good match on paper -- "Daddy Sang Bass"? "A Boy Named Sue"? He had some funny, over-the-top stuff.
But Cash, big-hearted as he was, was too much a troubled, brooding poet for his songs to translate well into a cabaret show. The cast smirks through dark narrative tunes such as "Delia's Gone"; they channel Glee in a weirdly singy-dancey rendition of "Five Feet High and Rising."
The production and lighting design are all over the place, as if to squeeze maximum possible use out of every last available piece of equipment: Unflattering color gels? Of course! Smoke machine? Why not? A geometric gobo lightshow? Sure, throw that in, too.
Projection-surface backdrops are all the rage nowadays, and -- with careful, sensitive planning -- they can be applied to great effect (as with the Babcock's recent production of Rare Bird). But the technology can also be abused: The random sequence of images used during Ring of Fire's "I've Been Everywhere" finale look like an iPhoto slideshow pulled from some producer's photo library, and even the bucolic scenes of flowing rivers and falling autumn leaves used to illustrate Cash's backwoods upbringing in Act I come across as obvious and overly precious.
Still, it is the Dark Horse performers who offer the brightest lights in the production: The rhythm section (Mason Aeschbacher on drums and Adam Overacker on bass) turn in a faultless, professional performance, while the fiery Ginger Bess on piano and ukulele is delightful as always. Daniel Simons (guitar/banjo/tambourine/harmonica) and his sideburns are the closest we get to The Johnny Cash Experience the audience really wanted, while Ricky Parkinson's omnipresent stage persona and Christopher Glade's swaggering bravado carry the show through its most difficult moments.
To be fair, most of the production's drawbacks are not Dark Horse's fault, but due to the book itself. As a jukebox musical, the most Ring of Fire could ever hope to be is a revue of popular songs strung together by a loose narrative. Fair enough; that's the state of the art these days. But, in this case, the connecting narrative -- a putative biography of Johnny Cash -- is anemic even by jukebox-musical standards. The storyline omits many important events in Cash's life: From Act I, you'd never know he was already married to Roseanne's mother, Vivian, when he met June Carter. And then, halfway through Act II, the Ballad of Johnny peters out entirely.
If Ring of Fire is a failure, it is simply a failure of selection. We know that Dark Horse is capable of much better work. So how can the company redeem itself? Perhaps by staging a production that is much more up the troupe's ironic, showy-singy-dancey alley, something like, say, a Kander/Ebb/Fosse show. And, as luck would have it, Chicago is just what Dark Horse is doing in July. We've got our fingers crossed.

Again, thank you for your opinion. It truly is our desire that people be honest and express themselves. My fear upon first reading your review was that it seemed that your general negative opinion of "jukebox musicals" was the driving force of your critique rather than the ability of this particular cast and production team to carry off this style of show (regadless of whether or not it is a style you personally can get behind). Certainly, the "jukebox" format is an enjoyable one for many other audiences, so I would expect that your individual dislike for the genre not overshadow an objective summation of this production's merits. In choosing this show, it was indeed our intent to tap into a broader patronage, while remaining unique and interesting (Ring of Fire is no Forever Plaid). Thus showing that we have something to offer to a wide variety of tastes. In my above comment, I did not intend to downplay any prior Dark Horse production, certainly! I stand behind all of our shows, and Reefer Madness was indeed a favorite of mine as well. We hope and plan to do more like it, but as I said, we also don't want to limit ourselves in our choices.
Thank you to you and City Weekly for your support of our continued efforts to challenge the status quo and theatrical convention.
While I appreciate your enthusiasm for what you have assumed is our proclaimed schtick (that of satirical camp and cabaret), you may derive a more enjoyable experience from our offerings by trying to receive them with a clean slate rather than comparing them to one particular show or genre that you had a good experience with before. Ring of Fire is definitely not something like what we've offered in the past, but actually, no two of our prior productions do have much in common with each other. The point here is that we would rather not pigeon hole ourselves into one small little niche of the musical theatre palette. If we were to do a "satirical campy cabaret" each time, we'd either run out of interesting material to choose from pretty quickly, or we'd simply become passe. Our audience would get tired, and we would fall flat. Luckily, this is not our mission. Our mission is to provide the Wasatch Front with new and interesting musical theatre offerings with a variety of themes and styles. The idea being it will be something you haven't had the chance to see before around here. :) It may be controversial, it may be risque, or it may simply be an unknown gem, but you can be guaranteed it will be entertaining, and professional, because we don't do anything less. Again, thank you for your honest opinion, and please continue to try us out, because there will be no shortage of surprises from future Dark Horse Company Theatre productions.
Gamyr Worf

Dark Horse Production
You make some good points. Obviously, Dark Horse does not wish to relegate itself to any single genre or "schtick," as you say (although it saddens me to hear you thus downplay the effervescent brilliance of "Reefer Madness," which for me was a life-changing experience).
I'm sorry I had to report being so profoundly disappointed by this production. Surely you must have noticed, however, that the performers (in the popular "American Idol" parlance) are "pitchy," particularly during the early Act I numbers "Country Boy," "Flesh and Blood" and "While I've Got It on My Mind."
This is something I intentionally omitted from my criticism, because (ask anybody) I am a generous reviewer, and the last thing I want is to be mean.
The thing is, "Ring of Fire" is first and foremost about music. Perhaps I object most to the way Maltby et al structured the show.
I apologize for suggesting that Dark Horse should restrict itself to camp and cabaret -- although I must say that this would not at all be a bad thing. So few troupes do it well these days, it is practically a dying art.

So i guess I'm back on now ^_^ I have yet to pick up a copy of white/black 2 but have a complete pokedex on my White. I have access to every pokemon, and can breed anything you want, w/egg moves if really neccesary. In exchange, I ask for your throwaway legends, such as ones you can obtain in the game, as well as any pokemon that evolves with a stone since I seem to be running short on those. What Im trying to do is get the event legends back through the gts, and once I get White/Black 2 I will transfer them over, as well as the other 600ish pokemon, to complete the pokedex on there. Please feel free to offer whatever you want, unless my inbox gets too filled, Ill probably just accept no matter if it is worth it or not.

For Canon to stay relevant in still-photography, there better be a 40MP+ 5DMkIV (or whatever they want to call it) before Thanksgiving 2012.
No amount of "but-this" and "but-that" spin is going to cut it for people who value, and often need, more megapixels over 6 fps. No brand can sustain itself, let alone thrive by attracting new customers, by putting out what seems like an also-ran product. I hope the cash registers at Canon are already sending this message loud and clear to the management.
Canon has made documentary/wedding/event photographers and soccer moms happy with this 5DMkIII. Now it's time for them to stand up and deliver something truly special to the fine art community who want to make amazing poster-sized prints. And do it REAL soon.

Maybe I'm Just Not Ready or Super Unlucky
Hi family/friends,
I have been having a lot of trouble with conversations with men. I guess I'm just not ready for all of what I'm getting. First I had 3 bad experiences with men who said they were something they weren't (thankfully not here) and basically were in foreign countries looking for an American woman to marry. Nothing like having someone professing undying love for you after a 15 minute conversation. So three times I had to block people on my instant messenger and email.
Recently someone just started talking to me and was asking about "pictures" and the way he was hinting around left me little doubt what type of pictures he wanted. Then someone else saw a posting I had about a topic regarding sexuality (Catholic site) and wanted to know if we could be "friends" and talk about our "experiences" but he said what he meant (trying to edit it here on the forum).
Today someone from a Catholic forum wants to be "friends" and wants to see pictures, and talk incessantly. I had to cut him off because I was done at work and had to get to the church to help set up for our dinner tomorrow night and also meet with the Deacon about my anullment. When I got home there he was on my instant messenger asking me if I spent the "time we were apart" thinking about him. How do I say, "No actually I was quite busy setting up tables, china, silverware and meeting with the Deacon". He's sort of angry I'm being slow about talking to him. I get a good sense of people and I'm cautious. This is the internet after all and I don't understand someone who says he has a job who is online for hours and hours. The job he says he has would not allow this much internet time. He got upset when there were long pauses in our chat today. I was WORKING. I said this several times.
Maybe ths is just too soon, maybe I just don't see the point in "diving in" with someone. I want to make some male friends and socialize, get used to being single out in the dating world. I really don't want to "fall in love" in 15 minutes online. Maybe I just don't have the energy for this, which makes me feel very sad. If I don't have the energy for this, then how do I expect to meet someone? I just don't know.
Anyone else felt like this? I'm totally unsure...I just don't know HOW to date and "be single". I'm confused.

BGE Encourages Elementary Schools to Compete in the BGE Wires Down Video Challenge for a
Chance to Win Up to $10,000 to Fund a School Enrichment Project
All public and private elementary schools have until Nov. 18 to create their own rendition of BGE's original 'Wires Down'
television commercial and submit it online at bgevideochallenge.com for a chance to win between $1,000 and $10,000
This year's challenge features multiple opportunities to win, including awards that acknowledge creativity and the video
with the highest number of votes
BALTIMORE (Nov. 15, 2013) – As the Nov. 18 deadline for BGE's Wires Down Video Challenge approaches, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) reminds elementary schools to create their own rendition of BGE's popular "Wires Down" electrical safety commercial for the chance to win between $1,000 and $10,000 to fund a school enrichment program. BGE's Wires Down Video Challengeallows elementary school students (kindergarten through fifth grade) in public and private elementary schools across BGE's service area to use their creativity and imagination to produce their own adaption of BGE's popular "Wires Down" electrical safety commercial. This year's challenge has been expanded to include new award categories, providing additional opportunities for schools to win funding. All public and private elementary schools have until Nov. 18 to create a video and submit it online atbgevideochallenge.com.
Originally produced in 2000, the Emmy Award-winning commercial, with its "do not, do not, do not touch" refrain, aims to help raise awareness of electricity hazards, especially among young children. The Wires Down Video Challenge was created to provide educators with a fun and creative way to teach students about electrical safety, while also promoting teamwork and school spirit. The challenge also provides an opportunity for the teachers and students to share important electrical safety information with their families and friends. In 2012, BGE awarded $21,000 to eight schools across central Maryland.
"At BGE, the safety of our customers and employees is always our top priority, and we are excited to see that more than 280 entry kits have already been downloaded by teachers and parents for this year's competition, solidifying the importance of this safety education program," said Calvin G. Butler Jr., senior vice president of regulatory and external affairs for BGE. "This year, BGE has expanded its competition and will be awarding up to $33,000 to the winning schools. We look forward to the submissions and wish all participating schools the best of luck."
In the 2013, eligible schools will have an opportunity to win in the following categories:
· BGE Star Power Award - $10,000
· BGE Spotlight Award - $5,000
· BGE Cast and Crew Award (to acknowledge efforts by students) - $3,000
· BGE Director's Cut Award (to acknowledge creativity) - $3,000
· BGE Golden Pipes Award - $3,000
· BGE Screen Gem Award (up to 9 awards for best overall in each county) - $1,000
· Rock the Vote! Award (for the video with the most online votes) – Backpacks and safety gear
Participating schools are challenged to create 30-to-45-second videos, using the same lyrics from the original "Wires Down" commercial. Video submissions will be accepted online until Nov. 18. Beginning in late November, schools will compete against each other during a two-week online public voting period. The winning schools will be announced in January 2014. For more information, including official rules, downloadable entry kits and helpful tips, visit BGEvideochallenge.com.
BGE has a long-standing commitment to ensuring public safety and supporting educational initiatives in our communities and the Wires Down Video Challenge does both. In addition to this contest, BGE provides schools and students with energy safety and other educational materials on electric and natural gas safety, including classroom lessons, teacher guides, experiments and games – all of which are available on the company's e-Smart Kids website. BGE also provides free in-school electric safety demonstrations with BGE linemen and safety personnel. If you would like to have BGE come to your school to talk about electric safety, send an email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Customers are always reminded to stay away from downed power lines and to report them immediately by calling 1.800.685.0123. Customers are encouraged to share the following electrical safety information with their families:
· Assume that all overhead wires are energized at lethal voltages. Never assume that a wire is safe to touch even if it is down, appears to be insulated or if power is out at nearby premises.
· Never touch a fallen overhead power line. Call BGE at 1.800.685.0123 to report fallen electric lines.
· Keep yourself and equipment at least 10 feet away from overhead wires during cleanup and other activities.
· If working at heights or handling long objects, survey the area before starting work for the presence of overhead wires.
· Likewise, avoid touching anything that may be coming into contact with an overhead wire like tree limbs or other debris.
· If an overhead wire falls across your vehicle while you are driving, stay inside the vehicle and continue to drive away from the line. If the engine stalls, do not leave your vehicle. Warn people not to touch the vehicle or the wire. Call or ask someone to call emergency services.
· Never operate electrical equipment while you are standing in water.
· Never repair electrical cords or equipment unless qualified and authorized.
· Have a qualified electrician inspect electrical equipment that has gotten wet before energizing it.
· If working in damp locations, inspect electric cords and equipment to ensure that they are in good condition and free of defects, and use a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
· Always use caution when working near electricity.

This is the second year I ran the State of Haskell survey. Like last year, the goal of the survey is to figure out
- where Haskell programmers "come from",
- in which domains Haskell is being used,
- to what extent Haskell is used commercially, and
- what the major weakness in the Haskell ecosystem are.
Like last year I ran the survey for one week. I got 798 responses (compared to 804 last year). The survey was announced on reddit, the major Haskell mailing lists, my Twitter account, and on this blog.
Here are the results, with some commentary by me. You can find links to the raw data at the very end of this post.
You might want to open the results from last year's survey to compare with the results below.
How long have you been using Haskell?
The proportion of people who have used Haskell for less than a year is a bit smaller compared to last year, suggesting that adoption rate has slowed down somewhat.
How would you characterize your use of Haskell today?
Note that respondents could choose more than one option here, so results add up to more than 100%.
The number of people who use Haskell at work has gone up from 25% to 32%, which I'm very happy to see.
What is the status of Haskell in your workplace?
The number of people who work in places where Haskell is endorsed increased, which matches what we saw in the last question. 17% use Haskell in production applications.
In which domain(s) are you using Haskell?
Note that respondents could choose more than one option here, so results add up to more than 100%.
The proportion that use Haskell for web development rose from 23% to 32%, most likely because we now have two quality web frameworks: Snap and Yesod.
Areas where Haskell has traditionally been strong, like compilers and math, are still strong.
Last year I wished for more libraries for Big Data processing (e.g. MapReduce). I still haven't seen much in this area, except for a paper on implementing the Erlang programming model as a Haskell library. We ought to be able to write a library with a
Par monad for distributed parallel algorithms.
Which environment(s) do you use to work with Haskell?
Note that respondents could choose more than one option here, so results add up to more than 100%.
Not much changed here. Emacs and vi are still the most commonly used environments by far. The Haskell specific environments still haven't gained much traction.
What language did you use just prior to adopting Haskell – or, if Haskell is not your primary language now, what is that primary language?
Note that respondents could choose more than one option here, so results add up to more than 100%.
Unlike last year, you could select multiple languages. I now realize that I should have reworded the question to better reflect that. We cannot directly compare the results to last year's as secondary languages (e.g. if you primarily use Java but also sometimes JavaScript) will show up in this year's results.
Unsurprisingly, big languages like C, C++, and Java show up on the top. Like last year, Python is also very popular, but perhaps more so than you'd expect given the number of Python users (compared to e.g. the number of Java users). I interpret that as users of more modern languages (like Python) are more likely to adopt other modern languages (like Haskell).
If Haskell disappeared tomorrow, what language(s) might you use as a "replacement"?
Note that respondents could choose more than one option here, so results add up to more than 100%.
Clojure lost a bit of ground compare to last year, from 25% to 17%. Scala gained some ground (4%).
The open-ended section last year was dominated by comments on Hackage, libraries, and performance, so this year I added a number of questions on these topics to get some more quantitative results.
Asking users to rank something on a scale (e.g. from 1 to 5) is tricky. For example, is 3.7 a high or low score? It's hard to say without having something to compare to. We should be able to better analyze the answers next year when we have two years worth of data points. Then we'd at least be able to say if we're improving or not.
Scale: 1 - poor, 5 - excellent
Number of libraries
Mean: 3.95
Users seem happy with the number of libraries on Hackage (there are over two thousand).
Overall quality of libraries
Mean: 3.45
Users are also quite happy with the overall quality of libraries, but see the separate library section for a breakdown.
Ease of finding a library for a given task
Mean: 3.24
It's somewhat difficult to find the right library for a task. We could use a better package search engine and some kind of recommendation system on Hackage.
Ease of judging the quality of a library
Mean: 2.54
While they do exist, it's hard to find high quality libraries on Hackage. There's no ranking whatsoever. A recommendation system, using social signals such as number of downloads, number of libraries depending on a given library, test coverage, documentation completeness, etc would help here.
Likelihood that a library will build on your machine
Mean: 3.48
I suspect that this number is pulled down by Windows users, who have a harder time building packages as the package developers more often use some Unix variant. Having Windows build bots might help here.
Personally I still have problems building Gtk2Hs. I wish there was a Wiki describing all the steps (with cut-n-paste instructions) for installing Gtk2Hs on each platform.
This section provides a deep-dive into library quality issues.
Mean: 2.97
Many libraries on Hackage have no documentation at all. Personally I tend to just ignore such libraries. If a library lacks documentation I start to wonder if it also lacks tests, if someone gave performance any thought, and so on. It might be a great library, but I will never find out because the lack of documentation makes me look elsewhere.
Haddock has recently started outputting documentation coverage reports when building packages. Perhaps this will encourage people to write more documentation.
Perhaps we could introduce a badge system on Hackage where packages that have 100% Haddock documentation coverage would sport a "documentation badge" on the package's Hackage page.
Test coverage
Mean: 2.94
With a few prominent exceptions, test coverage is poor to non-existent in most libraries.
Thomas Tuegel recently added testing support to Cabal. Making it easier to run tests should hopefully encourage people to write more of them. Test integration in Cabal also means that Hackage will eventually be able to run test suites automatically and publish test results.
Having a Cabal build bot plugins for e.g. Jenkins would make it easier to run continuous builds and thus get more out of your test suites. I use Jenkins a lot and it e.g. helps me make sure that my packages don't break on e.g. older versions of GHC.
Mean: 3.50
Users are mostly content with the performance of Hackage libraries. I think this is a testament to how good GHC is: you can get good performance without paying any attention to performance.
I still think we need to work on the performance of our libraries, especially core libraries for e.g. data structures, talking to databases, running web servers, etc. If you get performance right at the lower level, you don't have to think too much about it when writing your applications.
Integration with other libraries
Mean: 3.14
We could make libraries fit together better:
- APIs are still a bit inconsistent,
- we still don't program against interfaces enough (e.g. there are no type classes unifying different container implementations),
- we have two Unicode string types (String and Text),
- we don't use qualified naming everywhere (but instead use ad-hoc identifier prefixes/suffixes),
and so on.
The Haskell Platform is one attempt to address this, by giving us a vehicle for making coordinated changes, but progress has been slow.
Personally I've felt that the (now) old libraries process slowed us down; it's hard to do anything by consensus in a large, diverse community. Even if you eventually reach consensus you have spent more time than it's worth making whatever (simple) change you intended to make.
Cross platform compatibility
Mean: 3.41
Many libraries still don't build on Windows. We need people who use Windows to help out to make sure they do. As I mentioned earlier, having build bots would help here.
API stability
Mean: 3.26
As a language community I think we're still figuring stuff out. We're still experimenting with different programming models (e.g. iteratee I/O) and it will take a while until we settle on some best practices for writing APIs.
That being said, there are some good libraries that show the way. To name a few: bytestring, text, mysql-simple, and binary. For example, the latter two show how to create APIs that marshal Haskell values to/from byte strings, in different circumstances.
Ease of use
Mean: 3.32
Not a great score, probably related to the lack of documentation. I recommend that anyone who designs APIs for others to use should watch Simplicity Ain't Easy.
Reasoning about performance
You often hear that it's hard to reason about performance in Haskell so I asked two questions related to that.
Reasoning about the performance of Haskell programs is...
Scale: 1 - easy, 5 - hard
Mean: 3.47
So people do find it difficult to reason about performance of their programs. Curiously, they do find the performance of the packages they used to be good (see earlier question about libraries). Perhaps this can be interpreted as people only rarely run into performance problems, but when they do they're not sure how to tackle them.
It isn't terribly difficult to reason about performance in Haskell (there are quite a few people who know how to) once you're taught a few basic concepts and techniques, but we do a poor job of teaching people. In fact, we typically don't educate people in how to reason about performance at all!
I've started thinking about writing a medium sized tutorial, perhaps 60 pages or so, covering everything you need to know to be able to write production quality Haskell code. Perhaps I can find some time after my move.
What would help you most when reasoning about the performance of your Haskell programs?
Note that respondents could choose more than one option here, so results add up to more than 100%.
I wasn't sure if I would get anything useful out of this question. It's a bit like asking people what kind of free stuff they'd like. However, there are some relative differences between the different options. For example, the results show that people prefer profilers to lint tools.
We need to better document the strictness properties of our APIs and document performance considerations and gotchas in general. The Haddock documentation for some packages already document such things in the introduction section of the module documentation.
We could also use some teaching material on the issue that we could point to.
What do you think is Haskell's most glaring weakness / blind spot / problem?
I didn't include a "general comments" section this year. A few people felt that only focusing on weaknesses was a bit negative. I'll reintroduce the section next year. Feel free to share any others thoughts you might have in the comments section of the blog.
The list of weaknesses was a bit more diverse than last year, perhaps due to breaking out library and performance issues into separate questions. This is a good thing. It means that we don't have any huge blindspots in our ecosystem.
Here's a sample of topics that came up:
- Lack of GUI libraries.
- Frustration with lack of (visible) progress on Hackage.
- The learning curve.
- Lack of more comprehensive documentation for libraries (i.e. beyond simple reference documentation).
- Difficulties in reasoning about laziness.
Closing thoughts
I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to take the survey. Hopefully we can use the results to guide future infrastructure work in the community.
Raw data
All the source data is available in a spreadsheet in Google Docs or as an HTML table export from that spreadsheet.

I miss Crossgen.
They where great comics.Mostly.
It's a shame Disney and Marvel never did anything to bring it back.
The Marvel mini series dont count...
I am still annoyed they never finished their event.
Those marvel minis were a travesty.
Black History Month & 29 Days in February
I honestly don't know what Marvel was thinking when they tried to "revive" CrossGen. It was as if they were running those select titles through a Disney filter or something--perhaps trying to make them appealing to people other than the original CrossGen fans, I dunno, but it just didn't work either way.
During the original CrossGen, I had more of their titles than Marvel and DC combined and it was perhaps the most fun and stable period in my 30-odd years of comic book collecting & reading. Say what you will about how CrossGen imploded (I'll likely agree with you), but it sure was a nice ride while it lasted. I still ache over Negation War--heck, I still ache over Negation period--easily one of my favorite books of all time.
Always remember this stuff isn't real.
Ron, your a class act and it shows. Thanks for sharing your experiences and I hope you and your family had a great thanksgiving.
I loved the Crossgen titles, especially Mystic. In fact they kept me in comics long after I gave up on the super hero books and when they went out of business was when I stopped collecting comics until getting back in about a year ago. I really wish Marvel would try to integrate some of the series into their universe, I think it could work with the more cosmic level/space series and it would give them a bunch of characters that have an existing (even if perhaps small) fanbase to use.
That said I love hearing about behind the scenes information so I loved this article and cannot wait to read more of them.
Comic fan and hopeful author.
Hi, I just wanted to say thanks to you Ron.. for all of your comics work.. and i also would like to thank any of the Crossgen alumni that dazzled me for far too few years.. it was amazing in the early 2000's discovering crossgen (reading about half of what crossgen published monthly at the time) and just being blown away by originality and non superhero adventure. When crossgen books stopping coming out then .. it seemed like there was a gaping hole in my weekly comics reading experience. At the time i was buying 10 books on average a week so i didnt notice that crossgen had stopped publishing for a few months.. all i knew was that comics started sucking all of a sudden. I swear that i literally thought "why am i bored all of sudden with comics" and then i realized months after crossgen had collapsed... "its crossgen.. something happened to crossgen". I subsequently discovered crossgen's financial woes and likely permanent demise. Ive read the new books from disney/marvel.. i hope they continue but they pale in comparison to the originals (all of which ive since tracked down and read). Hey Ron.. if you happen to run into Tony Bedard any time in the future can you tell him that theres someone out in the internet ether that thinks negation was brilliant. One unrelated comment .. please bring back Samurai: Heaven and Earth... its great. Thanks again and cheers.
Thanks for this, Ron. It seemed like you were tired of talking about CrossGen for a while there. I'm glad enough time has passed for you to be able to look back objectively and recognize the positive elements. There certainly was some amazing work produced back then, some of it still unmatched, IMO. I'm glad I was around to experience it and am still sad for what might have been. Best wishes always.

Did he really just say Greg Land is a good artist? Really?
But yeah, CrossGen were amongst the first comics I ever really got. I have a bunch of their Forge and Edge collections in my cupboard, too. Despite Greg Land's art and Chuck Dixon being on it (neither of whom I support willingly now), I quite enjoyed Sojourn. And Brath looked promising.
Great article, Ron. I definitely miss Crossgen - some amazing talent doing some amazing things.
I'm curious about your take on the current Valiant line? The majority of their titles are better than anything the big 2 are putting out (similar to Crossgen in its heyday), but I've been feeling like they're headed down the same road as Crossgen: too many titles too quickly. How many titles do you think Crossgen could have supported long term?
It's too bad McNiven didn't draw those Mystic pages.
Free your soul and let it fly....
Then Greg Land got a hold of that lesbian sex script and his style was altered forever.
Thanks for all the comments. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
Part 2 of this column should run on 11/29.

SAP has three different types of tables: Pooled tables, direct tables, and clusters. Pooled tables pool together several smaller lists and lookups into one table. The format of the pooled tables is basically Cobol Record structure. SAP Pooled Table Viewer uses the SAP data dictionary to create Oracle views that allow easy querying of the SAP data. This makes it easier to integrate with SAP systems where you can use database connectivity and bypass the need for ABAP.
Hovitaga OpenSQL Editor is a powerful tool for SAP consultants, ABAP developers, and basis administrators that helps to work with the database of a SAP system. It provides an intuitive way to build ad-hoc reports and statistics with OpenSQL commands. Writing programs that access the database in any form becomes much easier since all commands accessing the database can be developed, tested, and analyzed with many user-friendly features.
Hovitaga Report Generator is an ABAP add-on that accelerates SAP reporting by significantly reducing development time. This is achieved with automatic ABAP code generation, which eliminates manual programming of code that is always part of every report but is always different. Depending on the generation settings, 200-1000+ lines of ABAP code can be generated in a few minutes.
Hibersap is a small framework that offers an abstraction layer on top of the SAP Java Connector (JCo). It maps Java classes to SAP function modules using Java Annotations and reduces the technical code to call a function in a SAP back-end system. Hibersap's API is very similar to Hibernate, thus offering a familiar programming interface to developers of enterprise applications.
Pool Table Viewer creates database views that allow access to pooled tables directly from Oracle. SAP stores lookup and reference tables in a format known as pooled tables. These keep the data stored in a COBOL/ABAP record format, and the data is not normally readable from Oracle directly. This viewer can be useful for integration software, where there would not be a requirement to write ABAP interface code to access the SAP data. This works with any SAP R3 system with an Oracle database backend.

Has some reall nice hill holes and some great scenery. Way to many wide open shots that are under 200 feer. There was at least 7 of them. The entire course is very short ecept for two holes. Bring some putters and work on your approch game but thats about it. This could be a really nice course with a redesign because the park is well taken care of.

In honor of de Ronde van Vlaanderen, we will be hosting a Cogal in the urban Seattle area. Route to be determined, but plan on a moderately hilly opening 80km around Lake Washington and Mercer Island before hitting the historic cobbles on Captial Hill and Queen Anne near downtown Seattle. Total length of the ride is about 115km; but the last 30 are what really count.
We'll be leaving from Brouwer's Café in Fremont at 10:05. No support vehicle is expected, but we'll have lots of opportunity to refuel along the way. I will pre-ride the route a few days in advance and post GPX files and a queue sheet. The ride is intended to be no-drop, but due to the amount of climbing, we may break into separate groups before meeting back at Brouwer's for post-ride Recovery Ales.
Join us one and all to get a very minor taste what its like to ride de Ronde!
