Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
Yes, today marks my two year anniversary writing for Comics Should Be Good. Instead of highlighting a few of my favorite posts that I've written since I started blogging here, I decided to tell the story of how I got here in the first place.
It's actually quite simple — I pretty much got this gig because MarkAndrew and I live in the same town. From the summer of 2007 to the summer of 2008 I worked one day a week at our local comic book shop (usually Saturday or Sunday) and MarkAndrew would often come in and somehow we'd end up having long conversations about comics and manga. Usually manga. Obviously, Sundays were very, very slow at the shop and MarkAndrew was kind enough to let me go on and on about how awesome manga is. I'm pretty sure I recommended Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service and NANA to him but for the life of me I can't remember what else I told him to read. Probably lots of things. Luckily, he seemed to enjoy hearing what I had to say about manga and now whenever we randomly meet up — either at the public library or the mall parking lot (yeah, this actually happens) — he still lets me go on and on about what manga he should be reading.
Eventually, when I was still working at the store, he mentioned that the site needed a regular manga person and I decided to volunteer my services (seriously, I felt like a big weirdo doing so but MarkAndrew seemed enthusiastic about the idea). He got me in touch with Brian, who was kind enough to invite me on board and make me feel very welcome as part of the team here. In the beginning I was supposed to write a weekly column but as you all might have noted, I don't do well with a regular schedule. So now I write regular manga reviews under Danielle Leigh's Reading Diary, try to assemble "thinky" stuff for Manga Before Flowers once in awhile, and every other month have more fun than should be legally allowed talking about NANA with Michelle Smith and Melinda Beasi. (Also going back to glance at my old columns I discovered Michelle was here from day one, already correcting my bone-headed mistakes! Bless you, Michelle. I would be lost in the weeds without you).
Obviously, I'm incredibly grateful to Brian and MarkAndrew for taking a chance on a newbie blogger. I also have to single out Michelle and Melinda for all their support and kindness. Whenever I'm feeling burnt out or just annoyed with the eternal struggle to find time in the day to discuss the manga I love so much, I know that they will cheer and buck me up. Seriously, I doubt I'd still be doing this if I hadn't found such wonderful and inspiring partners in all of this. Thanks to all the smart, funny and insightful manga and anime folks on twitter with me, including David Welsh, Katherine Dacey, Johanna Draper Carlson, Ed Sizemore, Deb Aoki, Erica Friedman, Brigid Alverson, Lori Henderson, TangognaT, Mizzelle, Ysabet, Lissa Pattillo, Rob, Lorena, and the Manga Recon Crew, including Ken, Sam, Jen and Connie. I now have two great communities to discuss my pure, pure love of manga — here at Comics Should Be Good and now with the twitter crowd. Thanks also to all the folks on the blog — writers and readers — who have asked me questions or pushed me a little to explain my take on this whole "manga" thing. Also thanks to the guy who posted a literal "get off my lawn" comment on my very first regular post here (after my introductory post explaining who the hell I was). I still find that comment HILARIOUS.
Two years later and my love for manga is still going strong. Hell, just this week I became totally obsessed with One Piece and then tried to be all smart about Monster. However, the real game changer for me has been the development of the Viz Signature imprint. Now on a monthly basis am I guaranteed the release of a variety of titles which speak to mature tastes and interests (including some of my favorite manga titles of all time, such as Ooku: The Inner Chambers, 20th Century Boys, Black Lagoon, and not simple). This allows me to dip back into my old-school favorites — shojo and yaoi titles — with a fresh new perspective. Manga in the U.S. continues to evolve and even though the economy is in the tank right now, manga still chugs along like that little engine that could. I have confidence this comic book form won't be going anywhere anytime soon and neither, hopefully, will I. Anyway, if you all can stand to put up with me for a little while longer, I know I still have a lot to say about manga. Thanks for two wonderful years!
I hadn't realized you'd been here that long. Very cool. Although, as we all learned recently, MarkAndrew is kind of crazy, so maybe you just want to stay away from him!
It's always interesting reading your recommendations, even if I haven't dived into manga as much as you have. I mean, the kids have to eat, right? But whenever I'm thinking of gettiing into a new title, I like seeing what you're reading to get an idea about it. I'm way too daunted by the huge manga bookshelves in the comic book store to go in without a plan!
Greg — heh. I'm still not sure what that was about and even if I asked him I'm sure he'd be coy about it.
I'm so glad my posts have helped you navigate those massive manga shelves a little! (also, what your kids want food? Next they'll be wanting shoes on their feet!). I would always recommend checking your local library as manga tends to do well in there as a whole (MarkAndrew and I happen to live in a crazy liberal town with a library willing to spend a ton of money on GNs, manga, DVDs and CDs).
And two years goes by so fast! It is almost like i just got here, actually….although I'm no longer the new kid on the block!
I was referencing his Joe the Barbarian review, which apparently convinced several people that he's off his rocker!
Those kids – always demanding!
Greg, oh I knew what you were referencing. I just meant I probably wouldn't get a straight answer about that review if I asked him.
Oh, you're right! It did make me cry!
I'm so grateful to have gotten to know you out here in the manga blogosphere! You are a gem!
Awww…I felt silly talking about this in advance but I really wanted to let you and Michelle know how much I appreciate you both! (Heh. I'm totally going to introduce myself as a "gem" from now on. Melinda-approved nickname!)
[…] Congratulations to Danielle Leigh on two years of writing her Manga Before Flowers column at Comics Should Be Good. She celebrates by telling us her origin story. […]
Congrats! I'm not all big into the whole shojo thing, but when you're writing about anything else it's almost certain to be entertaining. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, Joe! I do try to cover manga for adults here as much as possible but I'm very fond of shojo and that is a unique part of manga culture that doesn't quite have a counterpart in U.S. comics (so yeah, I like to blather on about shojo quite a bit as well!).
What a great post! I feel bad that in my first comment I was all correct-y, though.
And I certainly appreciate you both very much, too! It is so wrong that we each live so far apart.
Congratulations! Two years blogging is quite an achievement, and you've brought a lot of interesting manga to my attention, and doubtless many others.
Congratulations on your two years. I've only been reading for a year at the most (I'm not sure when I started) (I've only had the internet for less than a year and a half).
I only read your columns occasionally, because I don't know much about manga and I never buy any. I do get some books from the library occasionally (but there's only a small selection here), and sometimes I flip through Shojo Beat in the store (I haven't read anything in it regularly since they cancelled NANA). But I do read what you say if the topic sounds interesting.
I think I probably prefer Shojo, too, though I haven't really read much else. I keep hoping Marvel will do a blend of super-heroes with Shojo (the closest I've seen is dePhillipis's and Weir's New Mutants and New X-Men– I do like those).
Michelle — no, I think it is *awesome*. Hee…schooling me from the get go! I just think it is perfect and believe me I wouldn't bring it up if I felt bad about it!
Also how awesome would it be if we lived near each other? Oh the epic conversations we could have!
Thanks, Nitz! That makes me very happy to hear!
Mary, always glad to have another shojo-lover (or at least *appreciator*!) on board! Thanks for stopping by and commenting, I really appreciate it.
It does fly by, doesn't it? I don't say this often enough, but I always read your columns and appreciate what you have to say. It helps me a lot to keep up with my students, who are much more in the know about manga than I am.
Hey, congrats! I look forward to your future post (ahem, catch up on your Pluto review).
happy anniversary! It's great that Cbr has this feature. I love all the manga you mentioned except one piece. I just can't get into that. Im currently loving Pluto and Blackbird. look forward to more posts by you
I see you've read Nana? I LOVE that book! I've read all 20 volumes so far, and it's been consistently awesome!
Also by Ai Yazawa, have you read her book Paradise Kiss? 5 volumes long. It is a masterpiece. For sure, you will not regret reading it. Excellent.
I could go on about Ai Yazawa and how she's a comics genius. But maybe on your next Nana blog! I'm going to read the previous blogs now, since I've never seen them until now.

Congrats on two excellent years of writing and reflecting on manga — here's to many more, here at CBR and in the academic world!
Thanks everyone for stopping by!
Greg, I'm always glad to hear that you enjoy my posts. I also really enjoy hearing about yours because of how much your love and your students' love for comics just shines through. You always make me incredibly happy I've ventured into comics as an adult and sorry I didn't get a chance to "know" the medium as a child or teenager.
David, I completely agree with you about Paradise Kiss. I think that it is absolute perfection in five volumes (I can't believe how much story, emotion, drama, humor, etc Yazawa can fit in just those five volumes!) Hope you enjoy the NANA project discussions!
Thanks, Kate! You are always very kind!
Here's to two years and hopefully many more!
Finding depth in Manga must be extremely challenging…
No harder than trying to find something intelligent to say about Marvel of DC. Might want to check out 20th Century Boys and Pluto. You'll be surprised by what you find.
Obviously I agree with Ed — he cites two extraordinary titles by Naoki Urasawa but there are quite a few challenging manga titles currently available in the English (including Eden: It's an Endless World, Ooku: The Inner Chambers, Vagabond or REAL by Takehiko Inoue…I could just list quality manga titles all day but I think you get the point).
Hahaha Dirk Star.
I saw your website. Complain much?
So you really liked Avatar, huh? Talk about depth. Most mangas aren't as overly preachy or cliched as Avatar, and usually have more subtle (and less laughable) dialogue. But you seem to like what you like, and that's cool.

For the second time since being partially paralyzed by a 2003 boating accident, State Sen. Christine M. Tartaglione on Tuesday walked in the Senate chamber.
At the opening of the Senate session, Tartaglione (D., Phila.) read a statement from her wheelchair before getting up to use a walker, with the help of two aides, and making a slow half-circle around the chamber to her chair.
There were cheers, tears, and high-fives from her colleagues and friends, a kiss from Minority Leader Robert J. Mellow (D., Lackawanna), and a hug from U.S. Rep. Bob Brady (D., Pa.).

Google releases its first 64-bit Chrome web browser
Faster and more stable than 32-bit
GOOGLE'S CHROMIUM PROJECT has released its first 64-bit edition of the Chrome web browser for Windows.
The project manages Google's open-source web browser code underlying the Chrome browser and Chrome OS. It claims that the new build is up to 25 percent faster than the standard 32-bit version, particularly for graphics and multimedia content. In addition crash rates for rendering are down nearly 50 percent from the 32-bit version.
The 64-bit version, which has full functionality, also takes advantage of additional security features in 64-bit Windows architecture such as High Entropy ASLR, as well as improving existing measures like heap partitioning.
At present, the new version is only available to Windows 7 and 8 users. The build is not considered stable yet, and is only available in the Developer or Canary (nightly build) channels.
Existing Chrome users can load the 64-bit version over the installed 32-bit edition without having to uninstall. In addition, all settings are preserved, though as with any test build, it might bork some of your add-ons.
Google software engineer Will Harris said, "We encourage all our users, especially developers, to give the new 64-bit Chrome a spin, and we're looking forward to hearing your feedback so we can make 64-bit Chrome work great and bring its benefits to our Beta and Stable channel users."
We've been using the 64-bit version of Chrome in the INQUIRER office this morning and it certainly appears to be significantly faster and smoother, and as of yet, everything works.
Google has also announced support for the Reset The Net campaign, and launched an extension for Chrome that provides end-to-end encryption. µ

Help the Children
Rating: 4.5 stars 14 14 reviews
5600 Rickenbacker Road, Building 1B Bell CA 90201 USA
Help the Children is a Christian nonprofit humanitarian relief organization dedicated to help alleviate the suffering of children and their families throughout the United States and around the world. Help the Children's mission is to provide increased self sufficiency by providing food, clothing, personal care items and medical supplies without regard to political affiliation, religious belief, or ethnic identity. Internationally: Help the Children is committed to serving a wide variety of people in diverse cultural and economic settings, who suffer emotional, spiritual and physical needs which result from conditions beyond their personal control.
We faithfully feed children everyday across the United States and around the world. Our latest adventure is the completion of the hospital in Northern Guatemala. This hospital has 20 beds for overnight accommodations for treatment and follow up. We have a OBGYN room, pediatrics room, and three dental rooms. To read more about what we have done and are still doing, visit our website: www.helpthechildren.org.
Food Program: Our major concern is to meet the needs of the homeless and low-income families throughout the inner cities of America. Each week, we distribute 350,000 pounds of food products to more than 650 qualified distribution centers. The success of this program is due to the generosity of growers, food manufactures and bakeries that willingly donate their surplus goods. Medical Missions: We send doctors and dentist to provide treatment at free clinics throughout the world. Our goal is to provide medical and dental treatment to third world countries where such treatment is not readily available. Military Family Assistance Program: We we distribute our CARE-BOXES to military families who loved ones are fighting for our security. Spring Outreach Program: We helped provide over 25,000 pounds of turkeys and other food items and more than 50,000 toys on Easter Sunday in Los Angeles. Christmas program: HTC distributed over 15,000 toys to needy children along with their parents from the inner city who attended our Christmas parties. In addition, we distributed over 150,000 toys through our distribution centers throughout the Southern United States this past Christmas.

Reviews for Help the Children
Today's global economy challenges many families and further complicates government support to unfortune Nations where children are greatly in need. This is why it is imperative to support organizations that make difference. The question is which of the thousands of non-profit organizations can make the biggest difference.in the many years of being a donor to support this cause, I confidently suggest that Help The Children is one of kind with it's leadership and level of support. Roger, Roxanne and their volunteers prioritize giving over serving themselves. Non stop outreach and giving of 98+% of every donation and volunteer hours they receive. This is uncommon to most of the reputable non-profits but only realized because they never gave it to the idea of bureaucracy and hefty paychecks. Thank you Help The Children, thank you for everything you do.

I have been contributing to Help The Children for a few years now as I am so grateful for what they are able to do for so many people in need it amazes me. To be able to watch them in action really touches my heart beyond words. Originally I was only contributing towards the general fund for the children and whatever was needed, then later on when the project for the hospital in Guatemala was announced I was so excited to be able to participate in helping towards that. I think what they have done over there for those children is so wonderful and such an amazing blessing. The Lord has so many good things for everyone. God Bless these people and Thank you.

This was great!!!!!!!!! I made a huge batch of this stuff and put it in containers. I eat it by itself, as cereal or in vanilla yogurt. I cannot believe how good this stuff is and plenty of fiber too. If you like granola, you must try this recipe. Thank you so much, monstrah. I will make this one a keeper.
I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet. I use it almost every week (as soon as I get done with one batch). I put it in vanilla yogurt with strawberries or by itself with raisins. Scrumptious!! Additional note: I just made it again this morning, and I was out of wheat germ. I put in 1/2 cup of oat bran and 1/2 cup chocolate malt-o-meal. From initial taste testings : ) it is going to be very good.
Loved by my whole family. I changed couple of things. I use grapeseed oil instead of butter, and use 1kg oats and 2cups coconut. Adjust liquids a bit. I also use a bit more cinnamon and vanilla. Definitely a winner. (I also leave out raisins and nuts as not everyone likes that, but it still tastes wonderful if added afterwards.)

Concerns range from busing kids to distant schools, to splitting up siblings among different campuses.
With a map in hand and matching T-shirts supporting their local elementary, Tim Dugaw and Scott Howard were ready to make their case before the Seattle school board Wednesday night.
"Our big argument is going to be safety," Dugaw said.
The district is looking to redraw the lines on school boundaries, both to ease overcrowding and distribute students to new campuses under construction. Dugaw says his kids walk to North Beach Elementary right now, but the district wanted them enrolled at Loyal Heights.
"That would require the kids to walk across three main arterials," Dugaw said.
Howard says the proposed shake-up makes it hard for families to plan ahead.
"Kids need consistency and we're just trying to deliver that," he said.
District officials have been taking feedback for months, and are making changes. For example, a re-built Olympic Hills Elementary will be reserved for neighborhood kids, which wasn't in the original plan. But parents on Beacon Hill, including Julie van Arcken, say the concerns of their mostly ethnic neighborhood have gone unaddressed by the district.
"I understand the district is going to change the boundaries so everyone can fit in the schools," she said. "I just need to make sure that they are doing it in a way that's racially equitable."
Parents also worry their kids may end up at different campuses.
"A lot of us who have younger kids who haven't yet started school wouldn't be guaranteed a spot at the same school their older sibling was at," said Kelly Hughes-Berardi.
The school district says input is still being taken, and more adjustments and accommodations could come.
"I sympathize with their initiative," Howard said. "But at the same time, I feel there's precedence for us to stay in the neighborhood."
The district will take all this input and submit a formal plan early next month, with the school board taking a vote on Nov. 20.

BOSTON -- Gov. Deval Patrick on Monday quietly signed a bill setting nurse staffing levels inside intensive care units at one nurse per one patient, depending on the stability of the patient.
The private bill-signing was attended by Rep. Denise Garlick, a Needham Democrat and registered nurse, and Donna Kelly-Williams, president of the Massachusetts Nurses Association, a union that had been pushing for two ballot questions on nurse-patient ratios and CEO pay and hospital financial transparency.
Patrick's signature on the bill means the union will drop both initiative petitions, which were headed for the November ballot.
The union had previously clashed with the Massachusetts Hospital Association over the ballot questions, and the boards of both organizations agreed to the language in the bill.
Lynn Nicholas, the president and CEO of the hospital association, said in the association's weekend email newsletter that the bill "seeks a reasonable approach" and moves away from "fixed staffing for all patients, in all units" at all times.
"The legislation focuses on the Intensive Care Unit where there is a collaborative role for staff nurses, for nurses who manage care for all patients in an ICU, and for an acuity system to help determine the severity of an ICU patient's illness," she wrote. "Importantly, the legislation leaves flexibility throughout the rest of the hospital to properly address every patient's needs."
But the nurses' union plans to continue to push on Beacon Hill for nurse staffing limits in all units, and will file legislation next session on hospital financial transparency.
Asked if they plan ballot initiatives in the future, Julie Pinkham, the union's executive director, said, "I hope we don't need it." She added: "If we have to return to the public…that's exactly what we'll do."
Patrick plans later on Monday to leave for Panama to attend the Tuesday inauguration of Panamanian President-elect Juan Carlos Varela Rodriguez. The governor will be part of the White House's official delegation to Panama City, being led by Secretary of State John Kerry.
Ballot law proponents face a Wednesday deadline to submit a final round of certified voter signatures needed to qualify initiative petitions for the Nov. 4 ballot.

I have taken crestor 40mg for several years. Two years ago I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. About ten days ago I ran out of crestor. I didn't have any refills left until I see my primary care dr. I took crestor at bedtime and since I have been out of it my blood sugar reading in the morning have been great -much lower than normal. Could this be the result of not taking Crestor?
Can Crestor affect my blood-glucose readings?

Awesome book!! I read it in 1 day while on bedrest during pregnancy!! I could not put it down, Sparks does a great job at keeping you turning pages one right after the other!! Definite must read!!!!
My favorite book ever. It is probably the best written by Nicholas Sparks to this day!!
I got this book, thinking it would just like The Notebook or Dear John. But the first few chapters were boring that it was making me fall asleep, but it did get interesting several chapters later. But I don't know .. the first few chapters were just so awful. I got this for $5 which was a pretty good deal so for the price, it's alright. The book is disappointing, so hopefully the movie won't.
Old story, nothing new....... knew what the outcome immediately. Easy boring read.

Shopping for a commercial fryer can be tricky. You've got a lot of options. Start with the basics. Which type or fryer do you need? Gas or electric? Not sure? Here's a quick guide to the types of fryers and the pro's and con's of your power source options.
Types of Fryers
The term "open-pot" refers to the unobstructed heated area of these fryers. Gas models heat the fry pot from the outside. Electric models have a ribbon-shaped element immersed in the oil, which folds upward for easy cleaning.
- Versatile and well-suited for most frying needs
- Open-pot fryers are the easiest to clean
- Value priced
- Best for lightly breaded foods.
- Deep, narrow sediment zone
- Not suitable for specialty products
Sediment Zone
Open-pot fryers are easiest to clean, but have a smaller sediment zone than tube-style fryers, making them best for lightly breaded (lower sediment) foods. The construction of these fryers allows for the best visual monitoring of sediment status.
Tube-style fryers can accomplish the same tasks as open-pot fryers, but are slightly more difficult to clean because the tube-shaped heating elements are permanently fixed in the vat.
- Well-suited for a wide range of heavy frying
- Wide sediment zone
- Best choice for heavily battered foods.
- Difficult to clean
- Not suitable for specialty products
- More costly than open-pot fryers
Sediment Zone
Tube-style fryers have larger sediment zones below the burners than other fryers. The wide sediment areas below the burner tubes allow particles to settle and accumulate. However, because tubes are generally fixed in place, it can make cleaning more difficult and time consuming.
Flat-bottom fryers are designed for frying delicate items that float near the surface of the oil, such as tortilla chips, taco shells and tempura. These fryers don't have a sediment zone, so they aren't as suited for the high volume tasks accomplished with tube-style and open-pot designs.
- Well-suited for liquid battered foods
- Ideal for bulk frying
- Best choice for specialty foods.
- Difficult to clean
- No sediment zone
Sediment Zone
Flat-bottom fryers lack an area devoted to capturing sediment. Contaminants remain more in contact with foods throughout the frying cycle. Patrons may complain about a blackened appearance or a difference in taste due to carbonized contaminants.
Which is Better, Gas or Electric?
Gas is Better when it comes to…
Heating Speed
Electric commercial fryers take longer to get up to temperature and typically can't reach the same maximum temperature as their gas-powered counterparts.
Operational Cost
In the past, gas fryers were the least expensive to operate. However, in recent years natural gas has outpaced the cost of electricity in some areas.
Electric is Better when it comes to…
Oil Recovery
Once up to temperature, electric fryers recover more quickly between frying cycles than their gas counterparts.
Electric fryers house a heating element inside the oil, increasing efficiency. Conversely, gas commercial fryers must heat the metal container holding the oil first, which in turn heats the oil – this uses more energy.
Electric fryers have the edge because they are not tied to a gas line. Relocating them however, still might require a visit from your electrician.

My 2003 VW convertible Beetle transmission was done for. I took it to the dealership where they quoted me $7150.00 for the repair and my extended warranty would NOT cover all of it. Needless to say, I was devastated. Mike and his team reviewed my car and Mike assured me he could get the work done within what the warranty covered. I'm one happy lady! Highly recommend Northgate Transmissions. Truly a wonderful customer service experience from beginning to end!

My daughters 2002 Saturn SC2, with 113,000 miles, had a completely shot transmission. Northgate rebuilt to better than new condition in 2 days. She says it shifts and drives beautifully now. Great work, good prices and communication from Mike Y. Highly recommend them. Troy S.

Mike did a great job on the repair of my Subaru SVX. Mike was a professional and answered any questions I had. He explained and kept me informed throughout the job. The bill was within the estimate given at the beginning of the job; there were no surprises at the end. He is a true asset to the community. Thanks for a job well done.

I was having difficulty with my truck so when I dropped it off for an oil change at oil change place, I asked the head mechanic to take a look at my clutch and let me know if anything jumped out to him. When I picked my truck back up, he informed me that my clutch was shot and that he would fix it for $700. I decided to take my truck to Mike to see what his opinion was (since he has done great work in the past) and he fixed the real problem (which was not the clutch) for less than $150. Mike was courteous, fair, and ethical (and the work was perfect - the truck runs like new). I can't recommend Mike highly enough.

I have an 85 Porsche Carrera that I use to only trust to a dealer. When I decided to get my clutch repaired at Northgate I was a bit concerned. Mike kept me updated almost daily and followed up with emails and pics. Although I bought this car used, I can't imagine this transmission was any better when it was new. Awesome job! I couldn't be happier. Thanks again!

Quite simply, a great experience. Service was confidently explained in great detail and I was back on the road quickly. They even washed my car :) This was my first experience with Northgate Transmission, and now I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. Mike is a guy you can trust.
Posted: 5/17/2012 • Link to this review
I had the misfortune of having transmission trouble with both cars at the same time. My neighbor mentioned good results with Northgate, so I gave them a call. Mike gave me an honest estimate, at least a third lower than the dealer. He also fully explained how he would address the problem in clear, concise terms. He and his team resolved the first problem promptly and at the lower end of the estimate. Needless to say, I took the second car there ASAP with the same results. Both have had the quick follow-up, and all is still well. I hope I never have to go through this again, but if I do, I'll call Mike right off the bat. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Ahead of the Curve
|Perform a double or a triple escape (Multiplayer Only).
To do a double or triple escape, you must have 2 or 3 people pursuing you in Chase mode. To know if they are in Chase mode, they will have red (triangle-shaped) indicators above their heads. You can only get multiple people chasing you when you are doing extra well in the match. The game will try to balance things out and have you as the target to more opponents. The amount of pursuers is displayed on the top of the HUD where there are 3 triangles. The triangles that are lit up red are how many are after you. Having 2 or 3 people after you will not guarantee you get this achievement as you must escape them all at the same time, not just have two or more pursuers and escape from 1.

text: On May 17 I had the pleasure of running a workshop at the Berkeley R Meetup. The workshop was titled "Mapping Open Data in R", and I've had a few requests for the slides. You can see them below. The slides have code on them. If you would like to download a file with the code, The post


text: Tesoro receives an uninspiring 44% proportion of "buy" ratings and Valero garners 50%. Tesoro beat analysts' adjusted first-quarter earnings estimate by an impressive 16%, but its stock fell 2.5% in reaction. Valero, on the other hand, missed by 38%, but its shares dropped just 3.7% following the release. Morningstar, which awards Valero three stars out of five and Tesoro two stars, is wary of the companies. Both realized gross margins widened during the quarter as their refining throughput margins nearly doubled, on a per barrel basis. Also, both benefitted from strategic cost cuts commenced during the recession, when losses piled up. Morningstar is cautious on these independent refiners as they are subject to demand destruction at currently high gasoline prices, and a still-below-trend recovery may signal that demand growth will taper, especially in light of a recent uptick in the unemployment rate. Furthermore, the rising political will of environmentalists may threaten the companies in coming years, especially considering the modest taxes imposed on U.S. gas sales. Add sizable debt loads and you have yet another reason to be cautious about refiner stocks. Morningstar values Tesoro at $18, suggesting 28% downside, and Valero at $26, implying a more modest correction of 3%. Describing both firms as having "no economic moat" and "high uncertainty" pertaining to the businesses' long-run viability, Morningstar is advising individual investors to find safer pastures. Given the recent run in these stocks and the potential for a pick-up in the commodity downdraft, profit taking may still be the best, and safest, option for individual stockholders. -- Written by Jake Lynch in Boston.

Opponents of Borough President Marty Markowitz's $64 million plan to build a new amphitheater at Asser Levy⁄Seaside Park and transform it into a Westbury Music Festival−style venue have already promised to file lawsuits and vote Republican – and this week they upped the ante.
"If Marty Markowitz wants to run his bulldozers over the bodies of elderly ladies, then that's what he's going to get," said Ida Sanoff, one of the leaders of the opposition.
Critics of the plan living in Brightwater Towers, Trump Village, Luna Park and other residences surrounding the Sea Breeze Avenue park are fuming over the borough president's decision to skip a Community Board 13 meeting at Coney Island Hospital on June 24 to address their concerns.
Instead of the beep, the standing��room−only crowd got an aide who usually attends CB 13's monthly meetings and Markowitz's press secretary who distributed a flyer offering "facts" on the "Asser Levy⁄Seaside Park Rehabilitation Project."
Markowitz's aide, Andrew Steininger, read a letter from the borough president, noting, "Although I understand that members of the community have announced my attendance, I never confirmed that I would be able to make this meeting and regret that I am unable to attend due to the many graduations taking place in Brooklyn."
"Why isn't he here? This is more important than graduations," insisted Ocean Parkway resident Martin Jacobs.
According to Sea Breeze Jewish Center President Mendy Sontag, Markowitz never planned to attend the CB 13 meeting. Sontag recalled his recent one−on−one meeting with the beep: "I said, 'Marty, are you coming to the June 24 meeting?' He said, 'What, are you crazy? I'm not going to show up there.'"
Just last month, Markowitz was all too happy to talk about the amphitheater at length to a full auditorium of Manhattan Beach residents at P.S. 195 on Irwin Street.
Markowitz spokesperson Mark Zustovich told this paper that the beep was indeed at a graduation ceremony on June 24 but would attend a future CB 13 meeting — if the board makes a request to his office.
"Our office and Marty are happy to meet with anyone or any group," Steininger said.
Without Markowitz, angry residents held signs asserting their opposition to the beep's plan for Asser Levy and pushed CB 13 to discuss the project, which was not listed on the meeting agenda.
Not budging, CB 13 Chair Marion Cleaver said, "I will stick to this agenda exactly as it is stated here."
In doing so, residents booed during non−amphitheater��related topics — and gave the same reaction to Assemblymember Alec Brook−Krasny when he also failed to discuss the project.
Brook−Krasny, who supports Markowitz's plan but urged him to address the community directly prior to the June 24 CB 13 meeting because "questions remained," told this paper he stayed mum on the subject because "it has a lot to do with zoning with the city and it does not have anything to do with what I'm doing in the Assembly."
Despite Zustovich's invitation, it is unlikely that CB 13 will request Markowitz's presence before the shovels are scheduled to hit the ground in the fall.
"Having another meeting like we had at the Aquarium, I don't see what purpose is served," Cleaver said.
She was referring to a Parks Committee meeting held at the New York Aquarium in the spring, which Markowitz also did not attend and critics' questions about the amphitheater were not directly addressed.
"[Critics] didn't listen," Cleaver said. "It has to be a two−way conversation."
Instead of CB 13 getting involved, Cleaver advocates small groups of people opposed to the amphitheater seek meetings with the borough president.
"I think they would be better off establishing small groups and talking to the borough president about his project, which doesn't require the community board to review," Cleaver said. "We have no input at all. I feel the borough president has gone out of his way to make several presentations on it."
Sanoff accused Cleaver of ignoring the will of the people.
"I don't know how she can ignore the public when thousands of people have signed a petition and gone to meetings," Sanoff said. "I cannot fathom how she can be so disrespectful to the community."
According to Sanoff, prior meetings with religious leaders like Sontag and these new meetings Cleaver is now proposing, smell like political maneuvering meant to sidestep the opposition.
"What is Markowitz going to do, try to divide and conquer?" Sanoff said. "That's not going to work because we're all talking together and we're all working together."
This week, Borough Hall Communications Director Laura Sinagra suggested that a meeting between the borough president and residents who live around Asser Levy Park could still happen.
