DiDio & Lee Says DC Will Take the Time to Do "Watchmen"/Rebirth Story 'Right'
Comic Books
Marvel's March solicits have been up for quite awhile now, so let's make some prejudgments based just on the covers (as we all love to make prejudgments, don't we?).
Let's begin!
Here, Juan Doe seems to almost embrace the odd anatomy he often does with his characters, and it really works nicely.
One of Greg Land's better covers.
Nice Ed McGuinness variant cover.
Pin-up pieces like this work better as variant covers.
John Romita Jr. is really good at drawing beat-up Spider-Man.
Remember the fight against Morlun? JRjr really knocked that one out of the park.
This is a good cover, too.
Who drew this cover, exactly?
The solicits credit Klaus Janson, Chris Eliopoulos and Dean White.
So is it a matter of Eliopoulos creating the letters, Janson then drawing the arm and Dean White coloring it all?
However it was put together, it looks good!
I love the little touch with the webshooters being visible. I don't recall ever seeing them shown like that before.
Good cover by Tomm Coker, if a bit straightforward.
Intriguing cover by Kenneth Rocafort.
Not a bad cover by Humberto Ramos overall, but geez, if you're going to depict the follow-up to an action, you really ought to show some sign that the actual action took place, right?
The clawed dude slashes at the dinosaur and we get…nothing?
I like this Ariel Olivetti cover as a sort of a reminder, "See, folks! I was lame when I debuted, too, so it's just like I've come full circle!"
You know you went overboard with the female anatomy, Ken Lashley, when J. Scott Campbell does a cover and he makes the female character look more realistic than you did on your cover.
Overall, it's a strong cover, really, from Campbell, who has been known to do some great cover work.
I don't exactly get why Doom is clutching his own cape, though…
Has the kid shrunk since last issue's cover?
Olivetti has been weird with people's sizes on these covers.
Cool group pose cover by Immonen.
Impressive Daniel Acuña variant cover for Dark Avengers.
Morgana Le Fey's breast sure seem powerful!
Seriously, this is an intriguing perspective by Deodato.
It's tough when you're going to be compared to Jae freakin' Lee, but this Richard Isanove cover is a bit of a step down from Lee's striking Dark Tower covers.
Intriguing cover idea by Marko Djurdjevic.
I like Patrick Zircher's take on the Werewolf better than Mico Suayan, but I might add that Suayan apparently is just drawing from Marko Djurdjevic's designs, so I suppose it is Djurdjevic that I should take issue with, re: the design of the Werewolf.
I like this Karl Kerschl cover better than last month's – it pops out a good deal more, and I love his Blastaar.
Cute cover idea by Greg Land.
Gotta hand it to Lee Bermejo, he managed to get some wind so that we get a clear shot of Elektra's ass.
Seriously, though, I can't knock a dude for showing Elektra's ass, as she fights in a freakin' bathing suit, basically.
So fine cover by Bermejo.
I'm more suprised/impressed by Clay Mann's variant.
I love it when I see artists raise their game, and Mann has definitely been improving!
Simone Bianchi may win the "oddest Fantastic Four layout" award.
What an odd angle to get Johnny from, and the ripple effect on Reed is beeee-zarre.
I'm a bit disappointed in Marko Djurdjevic's depiction of the Thing on the variant cover.
The brow really doesn't work for me, and it distracts from the rest of the piece.
Nice Ender's Game cover by Pasqual Ferry.
Love the eye-blast battle, but what the…is that supposed to be Wolverine?
It looks like Baron Blood!
Otherwise, fine cover, Eric Nguyen!
Good use of the whole cast by Bryan Hitch, and I love his expressions, particularly Valeria's.
Cool David Yardin cover, but so sad, I never took Captain Marvel for a gay-basher.
Awesome character work by Arthur Suydam. I love that. Man, I'd love to see more character work like that from him – the expressiveness, the posing, the whole deal – top notch.
Good cover, as whole, too.
Decent Hercules cover by Dave Williams.
The expressions (particularly Amadeus) seem a bit strange.
Clever cover idea by Mark Brooks, but I don't think the execution of said idea really works as well as the idea itself.
In particular, the fist does not work well in silhouette and the torso bit just doesn't even make sense. It would be one thing if it was half green/half red, but mostly green with a red arm and, oh, let's say part of the torso red, too.
Kinda weird.
I think Sean Phillips definitely evoked the kind of pulp-y look he was going for.
Interesting cover idea by Salvador Larocca.
I think it might have actually been served better by making the figures even smaller, making the cover stand out even more.
Interesting cover by Tommy Ohtsuka – is this two sides of the same person? Someone tell me!
Strong Roger Cruz cover.
I especially like the way he uses the flamethrower to light the Avengers. Clever.
An amusing Roger Cruz cover.
Odd take on Doc's hair, though.
I dig the cover design on this Francis Tsai cover.
Tells the story nicely.
I love John Watson's homaging a cover from, like, last year!
Is Bryan Hitch's first cover of Fantastic Four actually that well known?
Watson does a helluva job aping that style, though!
Decent finale cover by Gerald Parel.
Khoi Pham, like Clay Mann, keeps growing as an artist, and it is a delight to see.
Scott Clark does a good job with this Models, Inc. cover.
Evoking the feel without going overboard with photocopying.
Okay, fill me in, what's going on on this Gabriele Dell'Otto cover?
Pretty cool Phil Jimenez cover.
I particularly dig the background – makes the character pop.
While some of the figures in the boxes look downright awkward (is Doom's mask uneven or something?), overall this is a strong cover by Billy Tan.
Again, that's Mockingbird's actual costume, so I guess I can't bust Jo Chen too much for it.
Okay, yeah, I can.
Come on, Jo Chen! When they said, "We want the cover to emphasize that Mockingbird's back," I think you might have missed the "that."
Daniel Acuña came dangerously close to making Vulcan look kind of cool!
Pretty cool Mike McKone cover.
TERRIBLE Mike McKone cover!
I like the energy on this Humberto Ramos cover, although I'm not exactly positive what is going on – he's flying, yes?
The spotlight effect works well here.
Good job by Aleksa Gajic.
Jimmy Cheung's part of the cover is quite cool looking, but I still am unsure if I like the idea of doing this Civil War cover format style.
I think both Juan Doe covers for this English/Spanish one-shot are a lot of fun.
I think I like the English version SLIGHTLY better. I liked the use of the two heroes more there.
Good Zircher cover.
I like how Skaar is, like, totally embracing the Surfer as a guest star. This is about the third cover in a row that the Surfer has been prominently featured.
Good Alex Garner cover – his style can sometimes not work so well with human features, so an alien works really well with Garner's style.
Not a bad Deodato cover for Squadron Supreme.
Odd poses on this Mike Perkins cover.
They're all drawn well enough, but their poses are kinda strange.
"Namor's phallus shall reign supreme!!!!"
Esad Ribic has had some interesting cover designs on this series.
Pretty cool cover by Francesco Mattina, but I think the design is actually a good deal less interesting than some of his previous efforts.
Still, at the worst, it's a striking cover.
Very cool cover design by Marko Djurdjevic.
Forgetting everything else, I love how David Finch draws Spider-Man's eyes.
Interesting cover layout by Stuart Immonen.
He frames the shot very well.
Those are some awfully narrow claws by Leinel Francis Yu.
Otherwise, it's a cool cover for the return of Ultimate Hulk vs. Wolverine.
I like the drawing of Colossus by the Dodsons, but it is a bit on the bland side for a cover.
Like I was mentioning on his Thunderbolts cover, Francesco Mattina can come up with some interesting cover designs, and this War Machine is one of them.
Love the use of white – makes it all pop like crazy.
I really enjoy this Brandon Peterson cover – it has all the ingredients you look for in the debut cover of a series.
Very much "setting the scene and the cast of characters."
The Ron Lim variant, on the other hand, is sorta goofy looking.
Not BAD, exactly, just kinda goofy.
Both covers work fine, it's just amusing to me to see Brandon Peterson have two covers this month that involve a character sort of lurching forward.
I love Dougie Braithwaite's cover layout, but the figures seem sort of off (particularly Cannonball).
Cute McNiven cover.
Can't wait 'til I see what McNiven has planned next! What a great artist.
I love how ersatz this David Williams cover looks, especially Kitty's facial expression.
Good stuff.
Klaus Janson does a nice job depicting a lot of Wolverine's life.
It's interesting seeing him draw modern Wolverine.
David Yardin does a really nice job using the Sentinels to both frame AND light his shot.
Love the expressions on the Madroxes.
I like this Roger Cruz cover better than last issue.
He has a real good angle on Jean Grey.
Clayton Crain did not draw enough blood on this X-Force cover!
I demand a re-draw!!
Danger is less noticeable on this Lee Bermejo cover – so only five cool points deducted!
As a triptych, the whole thing probably works okay, but as individual pieces, not so much.
Like I mentioned before, my biggest problem with Alex Garner are his faces, and I have a bit of a problem with his Psylocke.
The rest of the cover, though, is quite good – especially the effects on the sword.
Nice throwback cover by Dennis Calero.
I dunno if this Brandon Peterson cover achieved the intended effect – Nightcrawler appears to be falling back not forward.
I like the quirkiness of this Pasqual Ferry cover for the final issue of Young X-Men.
Now I hope I see no more of Ink ever again!
Very cool job by Kaare Andrews, doing the best he can with the material given to him.
Very cute David Williams cover.
Love the expressions, love the movement. Great job.
Is this Alex Ross cover an homage?
It reminds me of some Invaders cover from the 70s. I could be totally wrong.
Homage or not, it's a strong cover.
I love Cap readying his shield.
Great farewell cover by Ron Frenz!
Love the bookend treatment.
Epting tells a story nicely here – we have an idea of what the story will be like by a simple image. Nicely turned.
Nicely stylized cover by Greg Tocchini.
Great use of filling the cover to direct your attention.
Zircher is doing some strong cover work lately.
5. I've been loving the use of negative space on these covers.
Great work by Dennis Calero.
4. Skottie Young's art is amazing.
This cover is great art AND tells the story, so it makes the top five.
3. Dave Johnson continues his striking cover work for this Duane Swierczynski storyline.
He's nailing the mood perfectly.
2. Jason Pearson's cover is so good because it both tells the story (the Thunderbolts attack Deadpool) while also being one hell of a stylized cover.
1. My favorite cover this month, though, is Dennis Bajram's cover which is similar to Pearson's cover in that it relays plot while also being striking on its own, only this cover is a bit MORE striking than the Deadpool cover.
You don't get much more iconic imagery than seeing a damaged Statue of Liberty floating in space.
That's the list! Share your prejudices and YOUR Top Fives!
you have two mistakes in this
That's not Wolverine being given a noogie by Ikaris in the Eternals #9 cover thats one of the Eternals that works for Druig, can't remember his name
and Acuna did not make Vulcan look cool on the Nova cover, because thats "Quasar" (my money on that is that it's Quasar Posessing Richard Rider)
Spider-Man #588 just reminds me way too much of JRjr's cover of Kick Ass #2
And for the entire time I have been looking at the cover, I cannot work out what's going on with Kitty's left foot on the Ultimate Spider-Man cover.
Re: pin-up covers. Did anyone else buy Thor #600 and flip through the cover gallery? Being unacquainted with the series in recent years, it really struck me that, out of like 13 issues in this newest version… at least ten of the covers could have been swapped around randomly with no difference.
Comparing that with the preceding 500-some covers featuring actual story-related imagery made it particularly… odd. Is that what people really want, Tom Brevoort?
Yeah, the guy that's being wrangled on the Eternals cover is Vamprio.
Somebody SHOT the teddy bear !!!
Lots of questions this month:
That is a bizarre pose for Lilandra on the first War of Kings cover, isn't it? I'm kinda surprised you didn't say anything about it.
Also, is it my imagination, but have there now been two months in a row where the fasion magazine layout has been used? And on two different titles?
Is Deadpool the new Spider-Man and/or Wolverine, the guy who's in half the books put out? It's weird seeing him in his own title, a limited series, Thunderbolts and… seems like there was another. Seems like a matter of time before he's in X-Factor, consoling Siryn after what happened with her and Maddrox.
Good covers, though.
I figured someone woulda mentioned the crotch lensflare with that Guardians cover.
Oh, forgot my biggest question, really non-cover related, but does Marvel have some plan to discontinue monthly titles? It seems like everything is changing titles or becoming a limited series. I know there are spin-offs for events, but it seems to be ramping up this year.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Brandon Peterson War of Kings and Alex Garner Silver Surfer covers…
Is it just me, or do Namorina's [Namora?] thighs look over-large on that McGuinness variant?
And two month's reviews where you use the "aping" joke. Good joke.
Ultimate Spider-Man #132 – That's Kitty? I don't read the Ultimate comics. I always love me some SI art though. We Canucks gotta stick together (Byrne's British, so he can go away). But, still…that foot on Kitty? Ouch!
Speaking of going away…
Humberto Ramos…please do that…
Wolverine Saga – Honestly, I've never been a fan of Klaus Janson's art…but…WOW!!! Did he ever nail this one!!!
What the hell is going on with Lilandra in the War of Kings cover?
Yeah, all this talk of butt shots, and yet somehow War of Kings gets a pass. It would be instructive for the male and female characters to swap poses on that cover.
I'd say it's a reminder that Lilandra needn't conform to any concept of human anatomy, but really that's just the No-Prize justification. Peterson needs a slap on the wrist for that junk.
I thought both the Panther covers were Campbell. Misattributed in the solicitation?
About the Universal War One cover, I shall say that the issue is even more impressive. I read it in french and it knocked my socks off!
Hunter (Pedro Bouça)
that ghost rider cover is a swipe from devon aoki/miho in sin city, right?
And on the subject of swipes I'll be damned if that's not Adrian Brody on the cover of X-Men noir.
Though maybe that's homage, not swiping.
Love the X-Factor cover.

William Hawley
Lieutenant-Colonel William Hawley (1851–1941) was a British archaeologist who most famously undertook pioneering excavations at Stonehenge.
Military career[edit]
Hawley joined the Royal Engineers and was a captain of the Portsmouth division of the Royal Engineers Militia when, in late March of 1902, he was seconded for service in South Africa for the latest stages of the Second Boer War.[1]
Old Sarum[edit]
Along with William Henry St John Hope and Duncan Hector Montgomerie, Hawley participated in the first major excavations of the Old Sarum hillfort between 1909 and 1915. These digs were organized by the Society of Antiquaries of London.[2]
The work was carried out between 1919 and 1926 largely by Hawley working alone although at other times assisted by Robert Newall, a draughtsman from the Office of Works. The weather and the confusing stratigraphy of this site made work difficult but Hawley was able to make numerous breakthroughs regarding the history of activity on the site.
The work was initially focused on the supervised righting of some of the fallen stones late in 1919. Hawley dug out the foundations before the stones were replaced. Hawley was employed by the Office of Works, the antecedent of the Ministry of Works who had been passed responsibility for Stonehenge when it had been donated to the nation in 1918. They were primarily concerned with the danger of falling stones but funds were made available for Hawley to continue his investigations long after the righting work finished.
Hawley's work identified the Aubrey Holes for the first time as well as the Y and Z Holes and a variety of other postholes and stone holes within the centre of the monument. He found many of the cremated and uncremated human remains which first indicated a funerary role for Stonehenge. Excavation of the Avenue, the ditch (Heelstone Ditch) around the Heelstone, and the trench (Arc Trench) leading up to Heelstone was also undertaken.
Hawley proved, from a thin stratum of stone chip debris he called the Stonehenge Layer, that the earthwork features, the Aubrey Holes and some of the other postholes and burials constituted earlier phases of activity that predated the erection of the megaliths. He also found an antler pick embedded in a lump of chalk indicating the construction method on site. Eventually he settled on three phases, the earthwork enclosure, a large stone circle now vanished that supposedly stood in the Aubrey Holes, and finally a larger megaliths phase involving the extant stones as Stonehenge 3. Hawley's model of a multiphase site did not agree with the contemporary interpretation and was ignored until Richard Atkinson revived the idea in the 1950s. Although now considerably refined, his multi-phase interpretation is now fully accepted.
Certain of Hawley's other ideas such as Stonehenge being a fortified settlement were further off the mark and he died before his work was recognised.
Artefacts excavated by Colonel Hawley at Stonehenge in 1924 will be on display at the new Wessex Gallery of Archaeology at the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum, due to open in summer 2014.

Call for a boycott at the petrol bowser
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- March 28, 2013
MOTORISTS could save as much as $200 a year on fuel by boycotting the bowser on Thursday and Fridays.
One of the most comprehensive independent studies of petrol prices ever undertaken in this country revealed the end of the working week was the peak in 90 per cent of 114 cities and towns analysed.
There was not a single place where either Thursday or Friday was the cheapest day to fill up, yet that was when demand peaked, the study's author, University of New England economics professor Abbas Valadkhani, said.
The ACCC found Thursday was the day of highest demand in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide in 2012.
By shifting purchases to the cheapest days "motorists can counter-attack" against petrol retailers, Professor Valadkhani said: "Everyone in Australia, avoid Thursday and Friday - that is the message."
In nearly two-thirds of locations, the cheapest day to buy fuel was Tuesday. Sunday was best in one in five places.
Publicly funded and published in the journal Energy Policy, Professor Valadkhani's analysis of seven years of data to 2012 identified 16 locations with significant potential savings. In NSW they included Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong. Canberra was also on the list. The largest price differentials identified by Professor Valadkhani offered an annual saving of as much as $200 if filling a family-sized car weekly.
"Motorists can certainly get a better deal if they are conscious of the fuel price cycle," Australian Automobile Association executive director Andrew McKellar said.
Mr McKellar said the "constraint" on Professor Valadkhani's findings was that the price cycle had "changed substantially in 18 months".
The cycle was now less predictable. Rather than being seven days in length, it tended to be 10 to 12 days long.
Professor Valadkhani said his research showed motorists in rural areas never enjoyed the discount day. And he found the price impact of long weekends and public holidays were "insignificant" when compared to day-of-week differences.
The Australian Institute of Petroleum - which represents BP, Mobil, Caltex and Shell - did not respond to requests for comment.
Though five months into her Australian working holiday, the shock of Sydney's petrol prices hasn't worn off for 21-year-old Kasey Hitch.
The hospitality worker from Calgary, in Canada, said there was much to love about the Harbour City but not petrol prices: "Petrol here is very, very expensive".
Have your say

free money bonunus
Hi Members. Don't bother to register if you are thinking of trying the free spins as they don't give it to you after you register. They keep asking you to deposit so this is just a scam. Be careful!
Don't see what's the problem with free bonus, and I really hate it when people don't read all the rules. Jackpot City gives you 15 free spins (for new players only, of course), but there's one list for countries not allowed to register, and another for countries not eligible for starting bonus. OK, that is a bit confusing, but it is not hidden info. Just to be sure, I got in touch with the support team (they are quite decent if you ask me) and made sure I am good for the bonus. A whole other story is the WR for the bonus, which us 50x, and that is high, so I didn't had any high hopes (and was proven right).
Although I did like to play without installing anything on my computer, I don't thing I will be coming back since I have a policy to stay only if the starting bonuses pay off, and this one wasn't even close.
Have been with jackpot for months now and never have a problem with them! They are always happy to offer bonuses if you dont get a fair run with your money....always great promotions....their live chat are always willing to help....love love love!!! only prob is dont join lucky nugget as well as you cannot get bonuses on both accounts.... even though you wager on them seperately??? but the bonuses make up for that in my eyes... and their range of tournaments are tops!!!
is one of the casinos that I like I read information on this site and if that is robust and is offering over 500 casino games for players to enjoy. Also Jackpot City offers the Flexibility of a no-download casino version in Which more than 150 games are available for the player That is Certainly a more generous selection than can be found at most places the owners have made customer support available to the player 24 hours a day through a few different avenues Including email live chat and telephone contact. Regular promotions Which are open to all players are Constantly being updated with new, good ideas, plus I signed with 15 free spins on Mad Hatters last year did not get any prize but the gaming experience is very good as I mention in the previous lines have all methods of payment and collection and prompt attention of the games that I remember like blonde agent, mad hatters, immortal romance, lords of rings I've played so other people other one I like is the wheel of many users got a small prize of 108 euros but if that was a lot of adrenaline that I bet 2 times zero and not win but then I bet the number 36 3 euros and went awarded that number they recommend is called multiplayer roulette is easy and if it awards
one of the promotions that I like is the first being a 100% match bonus up to $ 200 free and the second being a 50% match bonus up to $ 300 free winnings get credited to the customers real money account eleven o'clock the deposit is made and can collect any amount you win 1000,100,200, or a jackpot! too fat or prize so do not use any bonus code is automatic and you can also play with your own money without wagering requirement
jackpot city is well Known for offering exclusive promotions in the form of bonuses to loyal players to the casino So if you play with them you willl quickly Find That They Live Up to Their expectation as one of the best online casino brands out there I highly recommend playing here also do not forget to order your 15 free spins from this forum and the correct link is all automatic.
I thought I'd try this Casino out based on the user posts above. I made a meagre $20 deposit and had some fun on various games, leaving me just $10 overnight. This morning I got stung by BJ, and ended up with 0. I decided I'd see whether I could get a 10% cashback on my $2, hoping I could at least make it up to $10 again on BJ, so I petitioned a Live Chat CSR.
In checking the T&C for the 10% Cashback, I also had read the T&C of the 100% bonus on deposits over the weekend. Since I had made the initial $20 deposit during the promotion's date period, I asked the CSR, not expecting much, if I qualified for the 100% bonus on my $20 deposit.
I got a delightfully pleasant surprise when the CSR said he could advance me a 50% bonus on my deposit. I was so impressed that I've decided to make JackPot City one of my regular haunts.
I'll give them a full 5 star rating. Great casino choice for low rollers like myself.
Jackpot City is for me the best MicroGaming casino there is! It's one of the few MicroGaming casino's that have a minimum deposit of just $5. They also have the most freeroll tournaments of all MicroGaming casino's!
Jackpot City is to me one of the best Microgaming sites ever. Used to try their no deposit bonus in the past, I was treat profesionally by their support they guided me through whole registration process but from time perspective now I must say it's easy as making a sandwich. They pay close attention to secure what I loved about them, so dont be surprised if they require some documents before you can cash out your winnings. Very low min deposit $5-10 is additional cons for them. I loved Miss Agent Blond to play there with the minimum stake at 0.09 , they also have all microgaming games now. Support acts very fast if anything was needed. Hard 5 stars.
I just have merry memories with this casino.My first withdrawal of my onling gambling history was from this casino.I like their games and tournaments wich is the best from all microgaming casinos.
Excellent place to play. In tournaments is their specialty. Many and different number of tournaments with free entrance and great chances to win even without continue play options. This casino is very generous with giving a bonuses to the players. For example, a week they give 100% and that's not all. It is important that people carefully read their T & C when using bonuses. They have limitations that are not typical for the MG casinos.
They are very good renomend mark , it's just 10 free spins from them but they give regular deposit promotions here, I like them for fact they payout to players and have big range of my favourite games, microgaming games are fantastic there but I never cashed out from this site, only 3 stars
Awesome casino with russian language, usual bonuses on deposit, nice customer service and withdrawals within few days.
one the worst mg casinos ive played at, countless deposits and not a thing evertime its a money pit they spend all there money on tv commercials and forget to pay back the players once and a while
I like the Riverbelle group and this is probably my favourite of their casinos if only because this is the one where I have been the luckiest! :) They also run a LOT of free slots tournaments including a superturbo each hour of every day. Only problem is they pull the super rubbish trick of only giving you 2 minutes of free playtime meaning your chances of beating these off a free entry is very, very low. They have some with less scandalous rules though including a weekly Thunderstruck2 that I play very often and have won decent money on several occassions.
Recommended if you like MGS download games, but there not outstanding by any means.
very nice casino that gived me when I first registered a 5 free euro for the mobile from what I can remeber.Had a good time with that money raised and again down and up and down until I lost it all.
I've never had problems with my withdrawals or something else with this casino, the casino support is always available when i need it. I play in many casinos but I can say that I will continue to play here. I rate this casino with 4 stars, very good place. If you searching casino with a lot of not big bonuses - here you can go.
Thanx for 10 free spins. Registered got and vagered my 4$ bonus money. So needed 20$ deposite , made it and got my money in 5 days. I like Microgaming and i think that microgaming casinos is the best :) 450 games , and all are nice looking.
Was made some deposites there and no problems .
Good luck all.
I am still here to disturb. microgaming not accept many Italian players but if any of you (Italian) has an old account in jackpotcity you can still play. I do it and I often receive phone calls with offers of bonuses and promotions. Payments after 48 hours and a lot of seriousness.
Only the nest experience with this microgaming casino, never faced any problems. Received welcome bonus and made cashout of 300 euros, money arrived within 48 hours to my e-wallet.
great customer service, fast cashout and wide selection of Microgaming slots. One of my favourite, but the wagering requirements could be more friendly to newbies.
I have heard good things about this casino, but I do read above some negative comments, so I will research further, I love microgaming casinos, and choose them wisely now because a few I never won at and had deposited a lot of money over time, so I am choosing and researching then wisely,
Jackpot City Casino is my favourite casino from all. This is the casino where I deposited and withdrawed mostly. I like micogaming games. And this casino offers some great promotions. The payments are relatively fast. The chat team is great and online all the time.
Jackpot City was the first online casino i signed up to; and continues to be the one i go to the most. I love the games, bonuses, easy to navigate site, mobile site and friendly staff. Also.... on the mobile they do a daily scratch card to earn loyalty points which can eventually be redeemed for coins.
All in all a great casino and i would recommend any day!
Am I the only person getting countless spam phonecalls from Jackpot City? I have played on Belle Rock for ten years. I have, over the years, probably spent...well...lets just say more than an ignorable amount, if you are a business owner, unless you're a gold brick salesman. Anyways, I am getting multiple phone calls a week, in the evenings. You'd think I was VIP - but they aren't calling to say that they've added a bonus to my account - rather - they want me to deposit. I am not used to desperation from these bigger casinos. At first it was kind of amusing - they ARE nice people to talk to, 99%, but it's starting to get awkward. I am not a high-income person...I keep having to say 'no, I don't have a deposit for you..." Are they trying to make me go away? ...? Rating is lower due to excessive calls.
Nice casino.I like it a lot because of their daily deposit bonuses.I always receive e-mails with 75-90% deposit bonus.I play here a lot, too bad I never cashed out.The wagering is very low (only 30x bonus). I will keep on playing here until I can test their cash out.The support is really nice.I recommend this casino to all Microgaming lovers :D
The belle rock group was one of the first microgaming casinos I played at years ago and still do . I have always been pleased and have had no issues with any of them . Jackpot city has good promotions and pretty prompt withdrawls . They have a couple cute exclusive games only available to belle rock casinos only . Belle rock slots is a gd one . has potential for some big wins and you can bet small if you choose . The give b-day promos . They have a gd vip program they do show appreciation for loyalty . I would recommend everyone try a belle rock casino . Jackpot city is one of my favs.
High wagering on bonuses for a full microgaming casino.
Good hourly 100€ slotfreerolls. Friendly and helpful customer support.
Too long withdrawal. Never been able cash in out because iv'e reversed them before they hit to neteller. 4K limit per week? that pretty lame. But i did play alot in here and the overall experience was great!
I signed up there few months ago. They had a promotion running, if you add your card, you receive 30 spins on Game of Thrones. I really wanted it, but many problems appeared so I talked with live support a lot. They were kind but very slow and at the end I just played there with deposit bonus with which I had 0 luck with. They are decent but I just didn't like the errors I got during sign ups.
I play here every week the Immortal Romance free tournament.I think this is the only casino that has a tournament like that, with 20 free re-buys, so everyone has the same chance on winning.Only once I managed to finish second.As I remember the winnings from this tournament are bonus money witch must be wagered 30 times.I don't know how they'r payouts work because I never cashed out, even if I made a few deposits here.
I have an account for some time and I have to say that I am very happy with this casino! I like the free tournaments, especially the Immortal Romance one :P. Customer support is very helpful and with competent operators, it has a lot of deposit and withdrawal options but I have a problem with their casino application (I think it asks too much from the operating system and for some time I had some problems with my antivirus software because of it). I never managed to cashout from this casino but from what I can here it is very reliable and fast.
i dont get why this casino is on a warning list. customer support has been great every time ive used it and havent had issues with anything else either
mmm weird that Jackpot City has been placed on warning list just as gaming club also, i never had any problems with them, played few times there, they have support in my own language, and always got from 10-50 spins on every deposit which was really great;) and withdrawals i also had just 2 but, mostly in 20hours i received it, and they always had a cool scratch card on mobile where you could scratch from some points, and different times i scratched many points worth 20 euro Cash! so no bonus just cash;) they only sended me every day different text messages which was very annoying! and sometimes postal stuff, which i also didn't appreciated but after telling them they stopped it directly, so atleast they listen, but it's weird too see they are running bad now! hope they will be change there way to do better.
Am really surprised to see Jackpot City on the warning list - hence I've decided to comment. Have always received my bonuses, never had any problems withdrawing, live chat is always polite and helps to find an amicable solution to any problems that have arisen. I don't mind the daily texts as it keeps me up to date with what's happening in the casino. Also I enjoy the odd free spins or bonus credits that I get. Tournaments are fun too. In all I've had a great experience with Jackpot City and have played here since 2010. Sad to see the warning though :(
Lot of promotion and free tournament if you like it. A good casino. I don't know why they were black listed...
I have only registered on this Microgaming casino in order to claim the free spins offer for creating an account. It seems like a decent casino but on the other hand I hate that they spam my email and call me on the phone although i have asked many times to unsubscribe me from their mailing list.Also I see this casino on the warning list so i do not hink i will be depositng here any time soon.
Warning: Players are advised to use discretion when considering JackpotCity Casino. Reports of unethical business practices have placed them on our Warning List. A poor reputation with business partners as well as changing terms and conditions on previous agreements deems this Casino untrustworthy.
NO SURPRISE FOR ME, The more and more I play MICROGAMING I find out that YES IT'S RANDOM, But they CONTROL or Presetup How much MAX win, On Bonus, FRee spins.
I HAd 250 free spins from Wild JAckpot and funny thing I won 29$ at 100 free spins I had 10$ 150 about 15$ lol NOW They will tell me that it's NOT FIX ?
Seriously ALL Microgaming will claim that they've got no control but They can add free spins, Free coins etc It's easy to imagine that they can under our account number setup MAX WIN regarding the deposit you made over time THE RANDOM THEN Do is JOB.
It's so obvious !!!
RANDOM for me is get to LEGAL SLOT put 5$ in the machine and win 1500$
You will NEVER See that online 1 out 100,000,000 chance sure it can happen.
Did you notice went you reach 5.00$ or less that it's impossible to HIT and win 25$ 50$ 100$ ? SLOT will wait until the very end went you bet minimum to give you free spins out of you will win less then 5.00$
More and more I PLAY Microgaming I find that they play wit us, We don't play with them it's THEM that play with us giving us free coins, free spins that they KNOW Wont make us RICH !
So freaking tie of these manipulation and those lie " WE'VE GOT NO CONTROL "
What a joke ...To many time I hot free spins at BIG BET 2.50, 4.50 and I win total crap over and over
I DON'T TRUST MICROGAMING the more I see The more I see manipulation of our odds of winning REALLY RANDOMLY
I play sometime at JACKPOT Casino but drop it since they use a old software
Just like Riverbelle Casino I love this groups casinos. Never had any problems. Ok maybe the wagering requirements are pretty high. There is also 100$ slot freerolls every two hours and which are paid with real money not bonus.
(i cashed out for once after many yrs of depositing here and heres my transcript!
Hopefully you will receive better match offers Terilynne.
terilynne campeau
as im waiting till all every cashout is back here, tahn what you say why i still get 25%, so simple form, only losers, get nice treatment here. and only losers who deposit every win all abck will be a good vip maych offer for them?
terilynne campeau
so only losers welcome here?
I am sure you know the answer to that Terilynne
terilynne campeau
yes they are very welcome and winners are not definiately not winners allowed
terilynne campeau
thats as far as i realized now
Once you have exhausted your deal-a-day offers you are not suppose to receive further match offers but we try our best to accommodate you and we have done so
terilynne campeau
ty for con firming this.
I did not confirm anything nor do I agree
terilynne campeau
i will paste it on blogs so players- winning players arte very well aware of your treatment.
Love the tournaments...!!! very entertaining!
I didnt6 imagine that about this casino can be so many bad comments and that thsi one is warning casino. I made my first deposit here today and took welcome bonus. Site looks beautiful, the games graphics too.
I was talking with chat girl and she was amazing, very friendly and kind. I asked her and personal questions and she answered to them sincere and in a good way.
I have noticed thsi casino and other gambling sites and didnt read something bad, only here. So i am a little bit confused now. Dont know who is right and who is wrong...
The warning at the top of this page comes as a shock for me, I think this is the first casino I ever deposited into a couple years ago, and I continue to play at Jackpot City to this day. Never had a problem with support, always have access to promotions and bonuses of all shapes and sizes, never experienced any kind of technical difficulties either for that matter. Sites like this usually do their homework before throwing allegations around though, so I would maybe proceed with caution if you've never played here. For me, this Microgaming Casino will remain one of my go to casinos, I've never been wronged, and always been treated with respect and kindness.

I already posted this, but this is of course the appropriate place.
I saw an interview with Douglas Adams once wherein he said that he was surprised on his first visit to the USA that Yanks weren't stupider than Brits, that we were just as interesting and sophisticated. His impression before that was based on our TV and movies. He concluded that for some reason we would tolerate entertainment of much lower quality than they would. He couldn't figure out why.
Something about American TV that people don't register is that it isn't primarily a medium of entertainment, it's a marketing device. That's what pays for it: that's who it serves.

Dissenting opinions, which are also excerpted, were filed by Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.
By Justice Kennedy
We decide whether, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an employee who refuses the unwelcome and threatening sexual advances of a supervisor, yet suffers no adverse, tangible job consequences, can recover against the employer without showing the employer is negligent or otherwise at fault for the supervisor's actions.
Summary judgment was granted for the employer, so we must take the facts alleged by the employee to be true. The employer is Burlington Industries, the petitioner. The employee is Kimberly Ellerth, the respondent. From March 1993 until May 1994, Ellerth worked as a salesperson in one of Burlington's divisions in Chicago, Ill. During her employment, she alleges, she was subjected to constant sexual harassment by her supervisor, one Ted Slowik.
In the hierarchy of Burlington's management structure, Slowik was a mid-level manager. Burlington has eight divisions, employing more than 22,000 people in some 50 plants around the United States. Slowik was a vice president in one of five business units within one of the divisions. He had authority to make hiring and promotion decisions subject to the approval of his supervisor, who signed the paperwork. According to Slowik's supervisor, his position was ''not considered an upper-level management position,'' and he was ''not amongst the decision-making or policy-making hierarchy.''
Slowik was not Ellerth's immediate supervisor. Ellerth worked in a two-person office in Chicago, and she answered to her office colleague, who in turn answered to Slowik in New York.
Against a background of repeated boorish and offensive remarks and gestures which Slowik allegedly made, Ellerth places particular emphasis on three alleged incidents where Slowik's comments could be construed as threats to deny her tangible job benefits.
In the summer of 1993, while on a business trip, Slowik invited Ellerth to the hotel lounge, an invitation Ellerth felt compelled to accept because Slowik was her boss. When Ellerth gave no encouragement to remarks Slowik made about her breasts, he told her to ''loosen up'' and warned, ''[y]ou know, Kim, I could make your life very hard or very easy at Burlington.''
In March 1994, when Ellerth was being considered for a promotion, Slowik expressed reservations during the promotion interview because she was not ''loose enough.'' The comment was followed by his reaching over and rubbing her knee.
Ellerth did receive the promotion; but when Slowik called to announce it, he told Ellerth, ''You're gonna be out there with men who work in factories, and they certainly like women with pretty butts/legs.''
In May 1994, Ellerth called Slowik, asking permission to insert a customer's logo into a fabric sample. Slowik responded, ''I don't have time for you right now, Kim, unless you want to tell me what you're wearing.'' Ellerth told Slowik she had to go and ended the call.
A day or two later, Ellerth called Slowik to ask permission again. This time he denied her request, but added something along the lines of ''Are you wearing shorter skirts yet, Kim, because it would make your job a whole heck of a lot easier.''
A short time later, Ellerth's immediate supervisor cautioned her about returning telephone calls to customers in a prompt fashion. In response, Ellerth quit. She faxed a letter giving reasons unrelated to the alleged sexual harassment we have described.
About three weeks later, however, she sent a letter explaining she quit because of Slowik's behavior.
During her tenure at Burlington, Ellerth did not inform anyone in authority about Slowik's conduct, despite knowing Burlington had a policy against sexual harassment. In fact, she chose not to inform her immediate supervisor because '' 'it would be his duty as my supervisor to report any incidents of sexual harassment.' '' On one occasion, she told Slowik a comment he made was inappropriate.
In October 1994, after receiving a right-to-sue letter from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (E.E.O.C.), Ellerth filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, alleging Burlington engaged in sexual harassment and forced her constructive discharge, in violation of Title VII.
The district court granted summary judgment to Burlington. The court found Slowik's behavior, as described by Ellerth, severe and pervasive enough to create a hostile work environment, but found Burlington neither knew nor should have known about the conduct. There was no triable issue of fact on the latter point, and the Court noted Ellerth had not used Burlington's internal complaint procedures.

Three-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady has agreed to a three-year contract extension with the New England Patriots, according to a report in Sports Illustrated on Monday.
The 35-year-old American quarterback is set to sign an extension worth about $27 million which would keep him with the team until he is 40 years of age, the magazine said. Brady was signed through the 2014 season.
Nothing is official, as the Patriots have not announced any new deal.
Brady, who is heading into his 14th season in the National Football League, currently has a four-year, $72 million deal with $48 million guaranteed.
Drew Brees is the NFL's highest-paid quarterback and would remain so, with an average salary of $20 million a year.

Unanswered: Draggable Scroll Container at Edge of screen
I'm making an app in which you can drag and drop to rearrange items in a grid. If the grid is larger than the screen area I'd like the screen to scroll up or down when you move a draggable to the edge of the screen. I'm using Sencha Touch 2.1.
This works. Except that the draggable has no idea where it's droppables are after moving the screen down..
onDrag: function (draggable, e, offsetX, offsetY) { var scrollable = this.getScrollable().getScroller(), currentY; if (offsetY >= 700) { currentY = draggable.getElement().getY(); //actually moves the element draggable.getElement().setY(currentY + 20); scrollable.scrollBy(0, 20); //does not move the element. //draggable.setOffset(offsetX, offsetY += 40); } .... },

"Team Bridge"
Roberto Mancini revealed some of Manchester City's players wore shirts bearing the words "Team Bridge" in support of team-mate Wayne Bridge during Sunday's 2-0 Premier League win over Portsmouth.
Bridge is still missing with a knee injury and was not at Eastlands. But the City stars, Carlos Tevez, Nigel de Jong and Stephen Ireland, felt it was important to show their backing for the England full-back, who has found himself at the centre of a media storm following allegations of an affair between the 29-year-old's former girlfriend and England skipper John Terry.
In a statement released on Saturday, Bridge outlined his intention not to speak about Terry's alleged relationship with Vanessa Perroncel and was interested only in the welfare of their three-year-old son.
But the City defender is known to be deeply distressed about the situation, not least because he regarded Terry as his friend having developed a close bond with the defender during their time at Chelsea.
Understanding the sensitivities of the situation neither Gareth Barry nor Shaun Wright-Phillips, colleagues of Bridge's with both club and country, perhaps wisely opted not to wear the shirts.
"The players are very close to Wayne," said Roberto Mancini. "He is a fantastic player and a good guy. It was a nice gesture."This topic is deleted.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

It's sort of depressing to know how much more attention I pay to Slog than Sloggers do.
no joke. jen is the worst offender.
At least the video doesn't auto-play anymore.
Hey! STFU!
I mean, uh, sorry. It's true, though: in order to produce Slog, we can't read it all day.
I always imagined them all to be in a single room saying to eachother "hey! Look what I found!" or "I call dibs on this one!"
But yeah, I'm not sure if it's more of a reflection on Sloggers or on myself when I notice a repeat. According to Google Reader, my RSS feed tracker, Sloggers post an average of 40.1 items a day.
Yeah, you have to post pictures from an artist you're "in love with".
My friend sent this to me yesterday, it's great!
Yes, it is sad that they don't even read their own slog.
"we can't read it all day"
You don't have to read it *all day*. But maybe once a day skim through all the posts of the past 24 hours, *especially if you're going to post something*. Dan's posting of the video was up for awhile on the front page.
I wanna make one of these for my friend (who doesn't vote). Where do you get these?
Choosing not to vote for a lesser of two evils is a rational choice.
@9: go to the page that the video is on. On the left side you should see a big orange button that says "Customize this video for your friends". Click that button.
er, I meant right side, not left side. oops.

Want to tell your story about participating in an LGBT march, parade or demo? Go to OutHistory.org! We love it if you scan and upload pictures too.
Today is the first New York Pride for which I have been in town in many years: I cannot even recall my most recent one. My first march ever was in 1981, the summer following my move to New York. A group of us who had been friends at Yale all marched together under the direction of Anthony Barthelemy, then finishing his Ph.D. in the English Department. John Guillory was there too: along with Ann Fabian and Terry Murphy (both were American Studies graduate students and not lesbians, though many wished that they were, I am sure), Anthony and John provided adult leadership for a small, queer group at Yale that was known internally as The Family. People passed in and out of the group but two of the core undergraduates were me and Jeff Nunokawa who, not inconsequentially, was the first person to whom I voluntarily came out in the first couple weeks of our freshman year.
Anthony, however, was the Mother of Us All. He taught us younger folk things like: ham is at its best when basted in Coca-Cola; red wine can be removed from a table cloth when spotted immediately with seltzer; when nervous about jumping over a professional hurdle, dress up; insist on good table manners, even at a picnic; smoking too much pot makes you stupid; and — my favorite, which I have repeated to the young ever since — "Good food doesn't cost any more than bad food."
On this first march, Anthony instructing us all to spend part of our time with a small group of gay public school teachers (and by small, I mean fewer than 25) who were bravely stepping out despite the threat of being recognized and losing their jobs. My memory of most of the day is hazy, however. My guess is that John Tavenner was there, and Carole Stone, and also our dear Alfred Sturtevant (who would have loved Facebook and blogging, but died of AIDS in the spring of 1990.) I do remember The Passing of Bergdorf"s, where the whole parade knelt briefly in prayer before continuing on. I remember passing St. Patrick's, where picketers held up vicious signs about our spiritual fate (remember that God Hates Fags – style protest was not invented by southerners or evangelicals. It was common practice among conservative Catholics everywhere in the 1970s and 1980s).
Homophobia I had experienced before, but never this. Yet it led to my first moment of true liberation as a queer person. Long before the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) taught us that truly militant protest on behalf of queers did not have to be a thing of the past, the parade paused periodically so that thousands of queers could turn and shake our fingers at these horrible people, shouting "SHAME. ON. YOU" as loudly as we could. When I shouted at them, I shouted at everyone who had ever shamed me for being gay. I suspect many of us did. It used to take a long time to fully step out of that closet.
Fast forward ten years to 1991, and I was marching down Fifth Avenue with the ACT UP contingent, stopping periodically at the direction of marshals to "die" on the street. The pretest in the midst of a protest brought the noise and happy celebration of the parade, as well as the defiant ACT UP chants, to a complete and sudden silence. It was a grander version of a form of protest that had been part of the ACT UP repertoire for some time. But it was very effective, in small part because many of us who did not participate regularly in ACT UP demos spent a fair amount of time lying on the ground, our heads, arms and legs intertwined, thinking about what we were, and were not, doing for the cause, and why we had only made time for it on this special day.
The massive die ins (one of which occurred in front of St. Patrick's, thank you very much, so that the sign-wielding h8ters were greeted only with silence) did not just get in the faces of the homophobes. They were also an object lesson for a lot of people who were marching that day, but who still believed that on all other days of the year they could control homophobia by keeping their own lives a secret. In 1991, many wealthy, privileged queers still saw it in their own best interests to be closeted at work, keeping their gay lives confined to the weekends, and to vacation spots that catered almost exclusively to LGBT people. Although it was starting to break down by 1991 (in 1990, Michelangelo Signorile began his "outing" campaign by stating publicly that the deceased publisher Malcolm Forbes was a leather queen), it was still considered beyond bad manners to state definitively and publicly that a closeted celebrity, rich person or politician was gay. Regardless of what the media tells you, this is still often true. This why it is possible to state definitively that there are zillions of gay and lesbian professional athletes, for example, but no one is allowed to say publicly who they are, and then everyone does the happy dance about what a liberated society we are now when exactly two sporting queers come out every year.
Which is why this last story gives me so much pleasure. One of the lesbians with whom I was marching that day, an old friend and a not particularly militant person, had brought along a new girlfriend. Girlfriend was a very powerful corporate attorney, was most definitely in the closet, and was very reluctant to be at the march, lest she be recognized by someone at CBS, her place of employ. My friend, who was also in the closet as a professional (closeting, by the way, created outstanding and highly problematic compartmentalization skills among all of us, as well as an enhanced capacity for persuasive lying and ignoring reality), persuaded Girlfriend that there was safety in numbers. How could she possibly be recognized in a crowd of people that would swell to several hundred thousand throughout the course of the day?
Girlfriend was persuaded that there was safety in numbers, and off we all went. It was a huge march, and we were in a contingent that was about twenty times the normal size of ACT UP New York: occasionally Larry Kramer would stalk up and down the line in his normal state of visible rage. As we rounded 34th street, one of us looked up and saw Sara Krulwich, a friend of a friend and a photographer for The New York Times, perched on a lamp post taking pictures. We jumped around, screamed and waved to catch her attention (such is the exhilaration of Gay Pride, when you are young and have not yet had joint replacement surgery); Sara waved back.
Perhaps you already know the end of this story: the next morning, there we were, in the lead photograph, smack in the middle of the front page of section B of The New York Times! Girlfriend, clear as day in the center of the photograph, had been outed.

Intramucosal Polyp
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
Should I have a second opinion on the biopsy test to confirm the "intra mucosal" nature of the polyp? It sounds like, to my nonphysican ear, that the polyp tumor was confined to the polyp and had not spread. We apparently caught it in developing stage. Is this unusual? What should I do and did I catch it in time? Your thoughts will be appreciated.
Timothy C. Hoops, MD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Gastroenterology Division at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of Gastroenterology at Penn Medicine at Radnor, responds:
An intramucosal carcinoma of the colon is a pathological diagnosis. In general, these are cancerous cells that are out of their normal location, but have moved only slightly into the surrounding tissue. If this truly was the finding, than the odds are strongly in your favor that this has been completely removed and should cause no further problem. There should be no problem if you want to get a second pathology opinion to confirm the findings. This is obviously a very early cancer. As such, the chance for a cure with a polypectomy is nearly complete, although one cannot be 100% certain. It is usually recommended that a follow-up colonoscopy be done within about 6 months to be certain that the entire polyp has been removed. Thereafter, you should get another study in about 3 years to look for new polyps. Your doctor should be able to tailor the follow-up recommendations to fit your particular situation.
I would agree that you are a good example of why one should undergo colon cancer screening. If you had not, there is an excellent chance you would have progressed to a more advanced colon cancer with less of a chance for a cure.

I made the mistake of going to "Movie..". Wow...way worse than Dust
Sita Sings The Blues and Mermaid were fantastic!
Holy crap! 'Boy A' was the best of the fest so far for me. I heard it might get a short local release. If you effed up and missed it at SIFF, don't make that mistake again!
You're correct @3. Annie mentions this in a subsequent post, but it opens at the Varsity on 8/8. I missed every screening, and have heard nothing but praise. Plus, it's got Peter Mullan. Anyone who likes Mullan/Boy A should give Ken Loach's My Name Is Joe a look; in it, he gives one of the best performances I've ever seen.

This is where Allen Iverson bailed them out 10 years ago. And 10 years before that, Charles Barkley. And 10 years before that, Julius Erving.
Every decade, the Sixers were blessed. They had a superstar with strong shoulders who was the difference between winning and losing, tough times and good times. When they needed a big basket, a savior or just a security blanket when it counted, Philly could always rely on Dr. J or Sir Charles or A.I. to swoop in.
Now, that superstar seat has gone cold in Philly. And that's why the reeling Sixers are desperate and woozy and in serious danger of getting deep-sixed from postseason contention.
Who will get the Batsignal from Doug Collins to reverse a tailspin that saw the Sixers go from Atlantic Division leader to feeling the hot breath of the Bucks at the bottom of the playoff rung? This spring swoon is on the verge of becoming epic, and yet there's a feeling of helplessness to prevent it, only because the Sixers don't have the one player they truly need.
With a superstar, the Sixers don't lose 10 of 14 games, getting wiped out by the Wizards and Raptors in the process. They don't look clueless in the clutch, or start a number of games dreadfully slow, or cause Collins to quickly lose whatever natural hair color he has left.
The Sixers didn't have a big weapon last season, either, and that earned them one win against the Heat in the first round. They were counting on one of their handful of good, young players to make a star turn this season. That hasn't happened.
And so there's the very real possibility the franchise must go outside to fill that role this summer -- if they're lucky enough -- and until then, hope for the best these last 10 games.
"This has been a difficult season," admitted Collins.
The Sixers have their best players at the same position, aren't getting major production from their veterans and are seriously lacking in low-post offense. They play defense well enough to give themselves a chance, but nobody on the Sixers scares the other team offensively in a tight game.
After being wiped out Sunday in Boston, Thaddeus Young said: "Everyone is just trying to do too much right now, taking into their own hands and trying to act like Superman."
That would be fine ... if there was a Superman on the Sixers.
Being that this is Philly, much of the abuse in town (at least among those who still care) is heaped on Andre Iguodala and, to an extent, Elton Brand. They're the highest-paid and most-accomplished players, but they're unfair targets. Although they both have been All-Stars (Iguodala made his first appearance this season), they're not franchise players.
Collins hoped for more from the younger players, but have any of them improved? Do the Sixers have any confidence that Young, Evan Turner, Jrue Holiday or Lou Williams still have a high ceiling? Is there a potential star in the bunch?
Williams, a reserve, shoots 40 percent -- not what you'd want from your No. 1 scorer. Holiday was better across the board last season. Young got a big contract extension, but the results haven't matched the money ... yet.
And then there's Turner, the second overall pick two years ago. He still hasn't found a niche or a comfortable position. Is he a point guard? A two? Does he have the size and strength for the front line? Turner's rookie season was nothing special (7.2 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 2.0 apg) because Collins wanted to bring him along slowly. This season, he's been wildly inconsistent; he can get 26 points and eight rebounds against the Heat one night, then four points and three rebounds the next against the Raptors.
The other issue? Is Collins reaching the younger players. Their development depends on a steady hand and a coach who connects and inspires. Collins did a bang-up job last season and did not turn dumb overnight. He's more mellow and patient at age 60 than ever. But you wonder if he's reached his limits.
On a certain level, it might be better for a team that opened the season winning 18 of 25 to miss the playoffs, drop into the lottery and spend the offseason reshaping itself. Would that be a better option than backing into the playoffs just to face the Bulls or Heat? After the Sixers started the season strong, they weren't chasing major moves at the trade deadline. Now, they'll be chasing.
This summer they can package players carrying reasonable contracts with picks to trade. Or if they're adventurous, they could amnesty Brand, who is due $18 million next season (the last year of his deal) and use the money to chase a free agent.
The remaining schedule is a good news/bad news deal for the Sixers. Eight of the last 10 are on the road, including the final five, and there is a back-to-back-to-back set. But six games are against lightweights; three against the Nets, along with the Raptors, Cavs and Pistons. The season isn't totally lost. April 25 in Milwaukee could decide things.
Whether they make the playoffs or not, their main problem will follow them into the summer. The Sixers are due for a star, aren't they? Call it a 10-year itch.
