Justin Theroux
Justin Theroux in All Saints Blythe Cigarette Jeans
Justin Theroux braved the cold snow of the East Coast while running some errands in New York City. The weather has been crazy for so many of us this Winter, it's insane!
Justin wore his All Saints Blythe Cigarette Jeans again, this time with boots and a leather jacket layered over a hoody. I actually really love these jeans and I think they suit him perfectly. The wash is amazing and the fit is just right! You can buy All Saints jeans online at their website by clicking here.

Justin Theroux was spotted paying his respects to friend Phillip Seymour Hoffman in New York. The actor wore a pair of All Saints Blythe Cigarette Jeans with his signature leather jacket and biker boots. You can click here to purchase these jeans from the All Saints website.
I am just completely saddened at the loss of Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He was such a great actor and grasped the focus of each film that he was in. He is definitely one that would leave a void in the film industry.

Core funding for the New Zealand Police flat-lined in the
Budget with Police and Corrections Minister Anne Tolley
maintaining spending at $1.4 billion a year.
Previous Budgets had usually seen an increase in money spent
on both the police and Corrections to counter rising crime.
However, Mrs Tolley said police and Corrections had delivered
fantastic results and she was confident gains would continue
to be made as a result of the smarter approach.
The next phase of ''Policing Excellence'' would focus on
further improvements in the way the service operated - to
provide more effective frontline policing and crime
Funding for the Serious Fraud Office reverted to the baseline
of $7.6 million in operational funding in the next financial
year, following the temporary boost to investigate and
prosecute finance companies, she said.
Increased foot patrols and frontline staff with the latest
technology had allowed police to be more visible and deliver
more than half a million additional frontline hours each year
- the equivalent of 354 extra officers.
The Budget also supported the Government's targets to reduce
the reoffending rate by 25% by 2017, with Corrections
continuing to increase drug and alcohol rehabilitation
programme places for prisoners, alongside greater access to
education and skills training.
Addressing the drivers of crime had resulted in Corrections
being halfway to meeting its ''better public services''
target of a 25% reduction in reoffending, she said.
''This means there are 9300 fewer victims of crime each year
and our sensible approach to rehabilitation means we are on
course to reach the goal of 18,500 fewer victims each year by
2017,'' Mrs Tolley said.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
New Zealand Police function almost entirely on its personnel.
Every year staff receive a tiny pay increase, universally
lower than the rate of inflation. How then can New Zealand
Police exist on a budget that has flatlined for the last two
years and is projected to remain the same for the foreseeable
future? New Zealand police will leave the job in droves
because they have no resources to do their job.

Zombie Trailer Park game review
Only a frail bridge separates your base from the zombies who will take over your kind! What will you do? As the Zombie Trailer Park master, you send your trailer park boys of course.
How To Play
Gameplay is fairly easy and quite addicting. Tap on your men and let them attack the incoming zombies! The goal is to get their base down – before they do yours. But before you can even get to the zombie headquarters, you must defeat the swarm of zombies taking over the trailer park. As the game progresses, recruitment improves. As you build more cash, you are able to make more shelters and recruit better as well. Take your pic from angry farmer, survivalist, moonshine bomber, or the notorious preacher man. If all else fails, you can always rely on your "Yee-Haw!" for that extra power up. There are 3 more levels to unlock in this game. That is, if you survive!
Game Control
Just tap your desired ally and watch them attack those zombies! More allies mean more shelters to build so the trick is balancing your trailer park with your trailer park boys and their friends. After you have destroyed the zombie base in Stage 1: Early Dead, Early To Rise, you will unlock the next stages and their very inventive names such as Stage 2: Kick the Dead, Stage 3:Nothing Brained, Nothing Ventured and the final Stage 4: Dead Walks,Trash Talks.
The game's graphic interphase simple but the gameplay is straightforward and can lead to hours of fun and incessantly tapping. It has that nostalgic vibe of Walking Dead meets League of Legends but on your phone. The game is slowly gaining a lot of recommendations. And why wouldn't it? It's a zombie game, people!
Get The Game
The game can be downloaded in iOS (iPhone and iPad) or can be played via a web browser for free at http://zombietrailerpark.us.

Stick RPG 2 Review
-Do not let the fact that this is a stick game, fool you! You are a stick character, but not one to be reckoned with!
-The game starts out with you mysteriously "falling", as if in a crazy dream. You somehow fall and land into a mysterious 2 Dimensional world called "Paper Thin City". 2D city called Paper Thin? Ha! Anybody? Anybody? No? Alrighty then…
-Right when you land into this world you can start up the game and start wreaking havoc!…..okay, okay, or start doing good for the community, if that's what you're into.
-This game lets you live your fantasy and do things you would be scared to do in real life. Investing, gambling, getting in the boxing ring with a champ, and even things that almost everyone fears. Like studying.
What Is The Mission?:
-Everyone needs a target to hit right? A goal to reach. Your goal in this game is to find your way back home. To the dimension you belong in. To do this, you need to gain some reputation. Get some street cred homie. Solve all of the mysteries the city has to offer, and make connections with different people.
-Along the way, you gain money and net worth, special skills. the ability to navigate better and find needed items, and many more things that build up your character.
Game Controls:
-Use your arrow keys to do most of the work for you in this game. Or the W, A, S, and D keys. Whichever you prefer.
– Use the mouse for things such as closing out of instructions or statements that pop up, and to click on different characters and interact with them.
– And this is an RPG, so don't forget you can even choose what you say to other characters and depict what role they play in your life.
I'm not even sure why you are still reading this, when you could be playing the most addictive game ever!
Happy Wheels – Where To Find It And What To Expect
Happy Wheels is a popular browser game based on ragdoll physics. In the game, a wide variety of weird and interesting characters race through the many stages, often using unorthodox vehicles to do so. It has become somewhat notorious for the amount of in-game violence and also the wide proliferation of user generated content for the game. The tagline of Happy Wheels is: "Choose your inadequately prepared racer, and ignore severe consequences in your desperate search for victory!"
Where To Find Happy Wheels?
Many gamers often find themselves confused and wondering about where exactly are they supposed to find Happy Wheels on the internet. Well, the official website for the game is www.totaljerkface.com. While you may be able to find it elsewhere around, note that this site is the only place you´ll be able to play the full version of the game.
Game Instructions:
In most levels of the game, the objective is to arrive first at the finish line and / or collect tokens along the way. Game mechanics do vary quite a lot, depending on character, vehicle and stage. Overall, significant amounts of graphic violence are to be expected. For this reason, some people may find Happy Wheels demo a controversial and possible slightly disturbing game, especially for the young.
The game allows users to make replays of their attempts, as well as design their own custom game stages. This is a rather unique feature. It is good to remember many of the existing stages are indeed user generated, therefore you can always select a different one if you don´t like the one you´re in presently. Also, there are many playing abilities that are unique and exclusive to certain characters. It is recommended you get well acquainted with these before starting.
Game Controls :
Up: Accelerate
Down: Reverse
Right: Clockwise
Tilt Left: Counterclockwise Tilt
The following are the so-called "action buttons". These will do different things depending on which character you have selected. For detailed explanations per character, do a quick online search to familiarize yourself with what they do.
Space Bar: Action Button
Shift: 2nd Action Button
Ctrl: 3rd Action Button
Also, pressing the letter Z will eject everybody currently inside the vehicle, and the letter C will change the visual perspective from the current one to the other person in the vehicle, whenever there are two characters inside at any given time.
Conclusion :
So. after reviewing the basics about this popular browser game, what can we say about Happy Wheels? I guess it is just one of those (awesome) games you either love or hate. Or maybe, people love TO hate it. Either way, you are never gonna run out of characters, stages and content with this game. One word of advice, though: be aware of what you are getting into. It is an extremely graphic and violent game, so if you´re easily offended by such materials, probably you´d be better off playing something else. That being said… go forth and enjoy Happy Wheels!
Tackle Your Boredom With Return Man 4
We all love football, but not everyone can make it to be a pro-footballer and achieve Superbowl glory. Thanks to Return Man 4 you can relive the thrills of being a top football star on your laptop, tablet, or smart phone. It's a completely free game made by ESPN, and who knows more about sporting thrills and spills for them? Unusually for this sort of game, you play the defensive rather than offensive player, but this makes it even more fun as you crunch everything in your path to stop the opposition reaching the end zone.
In Return Man 4 you play the one defensive lynchpin whose job it is to stop the opposition scoring a try. As the game progresses however, you'll find that you get other team mates around you, so you can make your strategies more complex. Look out for the opponent carrying the ball. All you have to do is run towards him and tackle him before he can score a touch down. Sounds simple, huh? Think again, because there are lots of other offensive players trying to stop you getting to the enemy. If they catch you first you'll have to shake and fight them off before you can resume your pursuit of the ball carrier. You'll get five lives to score as many points as you can, and the challenge gets harder as you progress through the levels.
The controls of the game Return Man 4 are very straight forward, which is one of the factors that makes it such fun to play. Move your defensive man up and down the screen using the I and K keys, and move left and right using J and L; alternatively, you can use the arrow keys. The Space key is all important as that executes a diving tackle. Later on, if you do well, you'll be able to unlock the special moves Swim [A], Shuck [S], and Bull Rush [D].
If you've played earlier versions of this game, then you'll need no encouraging to try out the latest incarnation. Put simply, Return Man 4 has to be one of the best football games out there, and best of all it's completely free. The graphics are great and the movement is fluid. You may find it a little difficult at first, but you'll soon find that the controls become intuitive. You'll find yourself coming back for more and more, especially as the difficulty level keeps on increasing. If you're looking for the New England Patriots of the Flash game world, you've just found a game that delivers a true champion's performance. If you wish to play previous version of the game (RETURN MAN 3) please follow the link.
Storm the House flash game review
Maybe it's time for you to go and check out this one of a kind flash game called Storm The House 3. It's possible that you've heard of this game before, since there are other installations for this game (like Storm the House 1 and 2), you can be assured that this part of the flash game series, Storm the House is by far the best one created.
Storm The House 3 has shown some major improvement from the other game series. The weapons are remarkable, the graphics are astounding and one of the greatest parts of this game is: It has loads more of mini games that you can play. The flash game, Storm The House 3 surely stands out from the rest of the other games that revolve around 'defend-the-base' type of games and has a large amount of cheat codes that are crazy and a whole lot of fun!
The game play for Storm The House 3 might sound like a normal defense game and it's very rare for a game to be too exciting or too original. With some games, there will be a point where you'd find yourself bored and just give up. Though with this flash game, you can be assured that no such thing is possible in this game. When you start playing this, you can find yourself and your house in the middle of some dessert. Then, you can upgrade your wall and have it repaired so that would hold back your enemies, upgrade the gun men that shoot down enemies and you can even buy your own weapon. Just the sound of it can be enough to say that this is a lot of fun.
Storm The House 3 has a large amount or weapons you can choose from as well as have different kinds of enemies. Sadly, you can only choose 2 different weapons in the field of battle.
From outside the battlefield, you can shoot your enemies down with the help of your cursor. There are auto shotguns, shot guns, gravity gun, flamethrowers and orbital cannon. One great thing about this is; you have the option to upgrade your weapons clips so you can enhance your weapons destructive power and range.
In this game, you have secondary defenses and these are known as the towers that you set up and built around your house. You have the choice to build shield generator towers, flamethrower, rocket, laser and many others. The down side of this is you can only have three towers set up so you need to make sure that you use these wisely.
It certainly is something you might find yourself addicted to since everything around this game is well done. The graphics are great; the sound effects are terrific since it gives you more of a feel to the whole set up of the game itself and the huge variety of mini games, enemies and weapons you can use makes everything a whole new experience that you will surely enjoy.

Fucked Up gets naked and muddy at SXSW
Photo by Stacy Schwartz
Hugging a mostly naked hairy fat man covered in muddy water was one of the best experiences of South By Southwest. If performance artists realized that they could find a much larger audience by backing everything with an attack of thick guitars and propulsive drums, we would have a lot more interactive theater and lot more bands like Fucked Up assaulting common decency and expurgating social conventions.
The setup for this amazing psychic and performative punchline is pretty simple- take what appear to be well-adjusted clean-cut Canadian kids who like a heavier punkish indie sound, and then say, "Fuck it, let's throw in this overweight hairy guy who smashes things on his forehead and takes off his clothes and see how that goes." Turns out it works fantastically. A little terrifyingly, but any time you are confronted with your deepest scatological and sexual fears and desires, it's bound to get overwhelming.
At the SPIN party on Friday, Fucked Up had barely hit a note before Damian "Pink Eyes" Abraham, the aforementioned overweight hairy man, began bashing his mic over his head. Just, you know, as a warning shot across the bows civilized behavior. Before the first song was done, he was clambering off the stage and into a clearing and announced that "by the end of the show we won't be able to able to look eachother in the eye." Then, by way of clarifying metaphor, told the crowd that it was like the time when he was 12 and he and a friend masturbated in front of eachother. "We haven't spoken since. This is going to be like that. Haven't any of you ever done that?" One hand up. "Well, if you're not admitting it you're homophobic!"
It's pretty silly to describe in text what happens next. Pink Eyes howls into the mic that he's carrying around, pulling his shirt over his head. Audience members (your writer included) rub his belly. People back away uncertain. Pink Eyes affixes a plastic cup the top of his head like a crushed fez and turns down a drink offered to him because he doesn't drink alcohol. He's just like this. Then he charges over to an unwitting audience member and picks him up, flipped upside-down, with feet kicking in the air. As the rest of the band dutifully keeps playing, he goes on a run through the crowd, grabbing people to pose for pictures, planting kisses and giving hugs. People are laughing, partly out of nervousness, partly because it's ridiculously great to watch someone doing whatever they want.

They play a song about hating summer and Pink Eyes gets on his knees to chug Pepsi while cracking jokes about the Quebec secession. For the coup-de-grace, he has bandmate Mike Haliechuk toss down bottles of water, Shouting "CFL" when he makes an impressive one-handed catch. He then pours them all out into the dirt in front of the stage, making a one-man moshpit, strips off his already tenuously hanging on shorts and shoes and lays down in the mud, rolling around to a well-covered brown glaze. Throughout all this, the band is jacking up the adrenaline, pounding away at the beat. The crowd pulls in closer, just to witness the application of dirt. Pink Eyes pops up and charges towards the crowd with his arms open. Most people scatter, but one brave soul stands his ground and accepts the hug. More people do too. As the band covers the Sex Pistols, more bottles of water bottles of water are thrown down and Pink Eyes has the crowd hose him down in almost campily erotic style. "You guys," he says with a joking gleam in his eye, "don't put this on the internet. I don't want my wife to see it."

And that's the best part of this and the reason it works -- none of it is malicious, or predicated on anger or violence. It's almost sweetly childish, looking for release however we can get it in whatever fecund ways possible. The name really just says it all -- he's fucked up, we're fucked up, let's all get fucked and unfucked together.

"Ghostbusters": 11 Things the Sequel Needs to Do to Succeed
Krazy Kat, April 4th 1937. George Herriman.
George Herriman has spent the better part of a century as the pick of those who know for greatest cartoonist of all time. And yet his masterpiece, Krazy Kat, is a much less striking thing than work by so many others in the pantheon of immortal comics makers. It doesn't bowl the reader over visually like McCay or Moebius, and it doesn't grip and not let go like Mignola or Kirby. One doesn't marvel at its intricacy of structure like one does with Ware, or feel dizzied by its singularity of vision as in Panter. Krazy Kat is not a comic of surface effect, and Herriman did not intend it to be so. Rather than stretching a dazzling skin over his creations, he left them open — full of empty space, available for differing interpretations — and simply put forth content.
ACME Novelty Library #1 (1993), page 28. Chris Ware.
Chris Ware is one of a very few artists working in comics — honestly, a very few ever to have worked in comics — to have developed a completely unique visual style. We can look at anything Ware draws and know it's him by the precision of his meticulous, even lines, the muted but expressive color palette, the simplification of forms that manages to seem both naturalistic and artificial. Any single Ware drawing codes for an entire way of making comics, a language the artist has created for himself from the raw material of panels and balloons.
Which makes it all the more interesting to see work by Ware done in different styles. The experience of reading a comic hammers the style the artist uses into our heads so relentlessly — the goal, after all, is that you fully believe their particular system of shapes and colors represents objective reality — and it can be easy to forget anyone can draw in a different style than we've seen on their most recent pages. With Ware especially, the world drawn is so rich, so much more varied in what it presents than almost anywhere else in comics, that seeing him do something outside his usual mode is almost a visceral shock.
Corto Maltese in Africa (1978), page 51. Hugo Pratt.
American action cartooning has Jack Kirby, the Japanese have Tezuka, France has Herge — and in Italy, there is Hugo Pratt. Like all the truly great cartoonists, Pratt picked up his country's comics tradition and moved its trajectory into line with that of his own work: the epic historical adventures contained in his Corto Maltese saga provided a stylistic blueprint Italian cartoonists would draw on or react against for decades after the series began appearing, and Pratt has provided inspiration for comics artists around the world — Paul Pope is an avowed devotee, Eddie Campbell and Mike Mignola picked up more than a few lessons, and hey, does anybody remember the name of the contested island that provides Frank Miller's Dark Knight with its nuclear conclusion? It seems bizarrely fitting that in the week Moebius passes on, the English-speaking world should be reintroduced to late 20th-century Europe's other foundational cartoonist via a new series of Corto translations.
Truth #2 (2003), page 12 panels 1-4. Kyle Baker.
When you boil it down to the core, action comics is basically an artist manipulating a set of stock poses. The writing can invent different reasons for conflict to come about and layer significance into it as it's happening. Different page construction tools — both layout and in-panel composition — control the ebb and flow of what we're reading, making each impact feel a little different and each action taken pop out as unique. Even if we've all read thousands of panels in which someone gets punched, each one is the only one that shows it happening a certain way. Finally, the stylism a cartoonist blankets their drawing with is as much a part of any piece of comics as the content — even if an artist copies another's page panel for panel, the mannerisms that are an unavoidable byproduct of the act of drawing ensures that the result will be something significantly different.
Buz Sawyer for October 7th, 1944. Roy Crane.
If it isn't quite a lost art, the daily comic strip is certainly a format on the wane, and that's a pretty terrible shame as these things go. More great comics have been presented in this form than perhaps any other (Krazy Kat, Peanuts, and Calvin & Hobbes make a pretty stiff argument all by themselves), and the ties to the medium's earliest history the strip provides shouldn't be overlooked either. But most importantly — most interestingly — strips present comics in their most compact, immediate form. No less than two panels, very rarely more than five, they're almost exclusively a reading experience of a minute or less, and as such they encourage a direct, no-frills approach that stands refreshingly at odds with so many long-form comics, in which complexity is seen as a cardinal virtue.
The story of DC Comics' house art style during the superhero genre's "Silver Age", from about 1955 to '68, is often repeated, and with good reason: it's the most compelling explanation for why the company, until then always the top publisher of action comics, surrendered their dominance to Marvel, which has held onto the number one spot ever since. During the mid-'50s, in the wake of government censorship trials that effectively destroyed EC, the publisher of the most aesthetically advanced material the comic book format had yet seen, DC came to the fore with a visual identity crafted by future company art director Carmine Infantino: sleek and economical, with long, distended panel shapes, cookie-cutter settings that shifted almost imperceptibly from Swedish-modern suburban to futuristic, and an approach to portraying action that, perhaps in response to the recent outcry against excessively violent comics, emphasized grace and fluidity of motion over bone-shuddering impact. It was a style tailor-made for success in the socially conservative Space Age, and as the comics industry went comatose following its near-death experience, DC's resurgent superhero comics provided one of a very few aesthetic and commercial bright spots.
"Hellboy" page from Dark Horse Presents #151 (2000). Mike Mignola.
Mike Mignola's Hellboy universe might be the most common place for readers to notice something different is being done with the sequencing of the imagery that makes up the comics they're reading. A large part of what makes Mignola's stories so wonderful is the way they behave like typical examples of action-adventure comics until they suddenly refuse to do so any longer, and parachute off into far weirder and more interesting realms. The same thing can be said for the way Mignola (and the numerous notable artists who've followed in his stylistic wake on the property) puts his pages together. If any post-Jack Kirby artist can be said to have created a truly unique and formally innovative style of constructing action comics, Mignola's undoubtedly a strong candidate for the top of the list. And as far as the influence that style has had on the form, he's peerless.
From Hell #7 (1995), page 12. Eddie Campbell.
One of the most consistently interesting aspects of Eddie Campbell's comics art — whether it's drawn in paint or ink, with pens or brushes, in color or black and white or hazed in screen tones — is the push and pull between chaos and control it always carries. Campbell sticks to the grid as much as anyone. His stories progress in an almost uniformly metronomic, evenly measured, deliberate fashion, more concerned with catching clear pictures of as many moments as possible and letting readers come upon the important ones naturally than thrusting anything into the audience's face. But there is always a strong element of wildness present in Campbell too. No matter the tools or the approach he's using, there are always lines or brush strokes or tone dots that wriggle away from whatever figurative content his panels hold and out toward the edges, seeking the place in the frame where they can best exist as nothing but media on paper, set free from the picture's meaning in search of their own. It's the way these two truths of Campbell's work interact, now in harmony, now struggling for control, that brings the comics to beating, vibrant life.
Here's last week's installment, featuring an intro to who Krigstein is and what he's all about. Short version: the best artist to work for the best genre-comics publisher of all time (EC), unsurpassed in his masterful use of sequencing, but — this is the important part — frequently hemmed in by the undercooked stories he was assigned to draw and the limited length he was given to explore what dramatic potential they had in. Krigstein never drew a story longer than twelve pages. However, the way he went about solving these problems, as we'll see, was a big part of what made him not only unique but truly great.
And now to business.
Here's a prime example of how Krigstein seamlessly elevated less-than-inspired script material. Saddled with wordy, adjective-weighted narration that nonetheless transitions between scenes at the snap of a finger, from bundled up on the streets of London to pajama-clad in a hotel room with a single narrow panel in between, Krigstein has no hope of giving the action a blow-by-blow reading. The rapid jump cutting employed here is a necessity, not a choice; but look at just how elegantly Krigstein carries it off, by placing an element in each panel that ties it to both the previous and the next. We move smoothly from the lamp in panel one to the streetlight in panel two to the wall torch occupying the same exact spot in panel three. Then Krigstein takes advantage of the strict top-to-bottom reading the high, thin panels he's boxed into creates, ending panel three with his character's feet before featuring them in the tier's final frame. It's an incredibly awkward format somehow made to flow like melted butter, a beautiful little bit of work.
It's taken me a while to get around to taking a look at Bernard Krigstein on this column, though that's hardly because I haven't wanted to. Quite the opposite, in fact: every week when I write one of these things, he's the first artist I think of spotlighting. The reason he's gone unmentioned for so long is that the challenge he presents to the analyst of comics art is just so daunting. Even when one sets aside his razor-sharp drawing ability, his intuitive, museum-worthy compositional skill, and his unsurpassed way with graphic design to look at the sequencing alone, there's more going on than could possibly be said. So I ended up giving up on finding a single, telegraphing Krigstein sequence and elected to pack as many as possible into today's column, because put simply, Krigstein wrote the book on sequencing — his every page a bold statement about effective, economical, and above all dramatic presentation of content.
Batman #404-407 (1986-87). David Mazzucchelli.
Despite his having drawn two of the bangin'-est, bone crunching-est superhero comics of the modern age (namely Daredevil Born Again and the book at hand, Batman Year One), few would argue that a — perhaps the — defining aspect of David Mazzucchelli's approach to his mainstream comics work is its great subtlety. The artist's decision to leave superheroes for the greater freedom of alternative comics may have been surprising at the time, but in retrospect it makes perfect sense: Mazzucchelli was never as interested in the roaring moments of climax that are action comics' stock in trade as he was in the smaller, tension-filled moments of ascent and decline that bookend them. It was perhaps inevitable that he would one day leave the spandex merry-go-round in order to investigate them more deeply, but in his timeless collaboration with Frank Miller on Year One, Mazzucchelli was able to find an ideal point between noise and quiet, action and inertia: superhero comics somehow created to lack the kitschy "zap bam pow" element, given a truer "real-world" feel than can be found just about anywhere else in the genre.
Ditko's World #1 (1986), page 19. Steve Ditko.
Few careers in comics are as full of bizarre happenings and unanswered questions as Steve Ditko's — and yet it often seems to me that the crowning strangeness of Ditko's six decades (!) as a cartoonist is his popularity, the fact that even the most unadventurous of comics readers know his name and are at least familiar with his work in passing. Ditko's work is almost aggressively non-mainstream, and grows more so with every passing year. He happened to be in the right place at the right time once, when an angular, surrealistic strip with a near-pathological lead character and the unlikely name "Spider-Man" hit it big with a generation of comics readers on the lookout for something different. But even Ditko's most famous creation only really took off once he walked away from it, leaving John Romita to smooth the rough edges from a strip that Ditko lanced through with menacing shadows, an urban landscape on the brink of decay, and an attitude that danced between aspiration and hatred, pulling back the curtain on the dark side of youthful energy.
"Jimbo" strip (1987), page 4. Gary Panter.
Smooth, even, uninterrupted flow is very often held up as the cardinal virtue for a sequence of comic book art. And most of the time, it is. Cartoonists are able to get around one of the fundamental problems of the comics medium — accurately depicting the passage of time — when they can create the sense that their panels represent a unified, unbroken section of time in motion, rather than single frozen moments put in order. But it all depends on what kind of comic is being made. In sequences where the forward thrust of the action isn't the most important thing for the reader to feel, flow goes out the window, and other, more unusual considerations begin to play a greater role.
Most often, sequences that lack a definite sense of linear motion are atmospheric, establishing a sense of tone or place that eventually provides a background for more typical action storytelling. But on the page above, Gary Panter is up to something quite different. Atmospherics require extended exploration of a single theme, which is the last thing on Panter's mind. Rather than spend the time taken up by multiple panels evoking a setting, Panter simply gives his establishing shot a vast amount of space, grounding his sequence with the single, nearly half-page sized panel of gloomy, cavernous sewer innards that literally hangs over the rest of the page. It's the same trick George Herriman frequently employed in his panoramic Sunday strips: keep readers in plain sight of a setting and there's no need to beat them over the head with it in every panel.
The Amazing Spiderman #88 (1970), page 6. John Romita.
John Romita came to his decades-long tenure on Marvel superhero comics from a career as a solid-to-outstanding illustrator of romance stories, and when he arrived he was asked to pencil his first costumed-action book over rough layouts by Marvel's main stylistic voice at the time, Jack Kirby. He learned his lessons from the King well. Decades after Kirby had ceased to be the company's prime mover, young artists recruited by Marvel were still sent to learn their fundamentals from Romita.
Silver Surfer (2nd series) #1 (1987), page 13. Marshall Rogers.
Space is the first practical consideration an artist needs to tackle when composing a page of comics. The size of the page itself is important, but it's been standardized at something around 6.5″ by 10″ (with an original size of 10″ by 15″) for so long that many of America's greatest cartoonists spent their entire careers composing for nothing but "comic book size". Within that dominant stricture, use of the area available becomes a pressing question. Approaches to fitting more than usual into the same amount of space as ever are many and varied, to say the least; but more often than not they involve some kind of addition, a new method for cramming a lot into a little. Meticulous detail, bigger amounts of smaller panels — we've all seen these approaches succeed, and we've also seen what happens when there's simply more than can please the eye being put on the page.
What's fascinating about the Marshall Rogers page above is the amount of space being explored with five panels drawn in the workaday, simplified-realist Marvel Comics house style. Rogers, like Carmine Infantino before him, was a student of architecture, and brought the architect's understanding of practical construction within a limited amount of space to his every page. Panel-to-panel transitions sizzle and page turns strike notes of suspense or release under Rogers' direction — as much because of the smooth, perfectly choreographed paths he led the eye down to them as the content of the pictures. Finally, Rogers colored his own pages, giving him a leg up on just about every other superhero artist in history as far as getting the work to do what he wanted it to.

This paper is concerned with the computation of the frequency response gain of sampled-data systems. The exact computation is intrinsically quite burdensome even at a fixed frequency due to the infinite-dimensional nature involved in this problem. To facilitate an approximate computation instead, this paper gives three independent methods to compute upper and lower bounds of the frequency response gain. The first one is such that there is no parameter through which we can balance accuracy and the computational load, while the second and third are with such a parameter. In spite of this, the first method will be found, in our numerical studies, to give quite a nice approximation in a reasonably short computation time, compared with other methods given in this paper and those available in the literature. It is also shown that our first method has very close relationships to the sampled-data H2 and H∞ problems

I would like to remove the wp-members metabox in the create new posts page. Any idea of how that should be done? Thanks
any idea about how this can be solved please?
Basically, what I need is to hide the wp-members meta box from the posts page. I do not want the users to be able to block/unblock posts.
Same here. It's a major oversight, IMHO, to allow members to unblock their own posts.
I did it by editing the core files (of the plugin, not WP), which sucks because you have to remember to do it if there's a new version. The file I changed is "post.php" in the "admin" subfolder; the function is called
I made two changes: one to put the meta box way down at the bottom, the other to only show the options to people who can publish posts.
To move the meta box, change 'high' to 'low' in this line:
add_meta_box( 'wpmem-block-meta-id', $post_title, 'wpmem_block_meta', 'post', 'side', 'high' );
To only display the options to publishers, add an "if" statement at the start of the function, like this:
function wpmem_block_meta()
if (!current_user_can('publish_posts')) {
echo 'You cannot change privacy permissions.';
global $post;
Everything after the "global $post" stays unchanged: I just added the "if" statement to check whether they have publishing rights. It works, but it's messy. Hope it helps!
Does anyone know of a way to do this without hacking the plugin?

I'm trying to sort my category pages by rating -> title.
This because I want to show posts without a rating sorted by title.
However i cannot get this to work and can't find anything on it in the documentation/topics.
For making the category sort by rating I altered the query in the following way:
$query->set( 'gdsr_sort', 'rating' );
$query->set( 'gdsr_multi', 2 );
So far I've tried:
$query->set( 'orderby', 'title');
$query->set( 'orderby', 'gdsr_sort title');
$query->set( 'gdsr_sort', 'rating title' );
All without succes, does anyone have an idea on how to do this?

For a sport that is so rigorously dependent on weather conditions, Nordic skiing has seen its share of difficulties in recent years. This year has been no different, as the white stuff has been slow to arrive.
But local high school teams had a lot to be thankful about over the Thanksgiving holiday, as several inches of fresh powder blanketed Southcentral, allowing winter athletes to finally strap on a pair of skis.
The Tsalteshi Trails were the scene of Saturday's opening high school race of the season, and with juicy flakes of snow gently falling for much of the event, the snowpack was finally enough to host competition.
Billed as more of a glorified time trial than an official race, the varsity races were swept by a pair of seniors who look to be driving at a strong season.
With hundreds of wrestlers from 15 different teams across the state, the Peninsula Duals at Nikiski High School this weekend featured some of the top high school wrestling talent Alaska has to offer.
The two-day tournament began Friday with each school completing two dual matches, which seeded each team accordingly for Saturday's bracket-style championships.
With everybody else in the North American Hockey League at least two games over .500, the Kenai River Brown Bears notched a sweep of the Minnesota Magicians on Friday and Saturday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex to keep pace in the standings.
The Bears, who notched their first sweep of the season, improve to 10-11-0, good for 20 points but also last in the division. Coulee Region (Wisconsin) is in fourth with 21 points, while the Magicians, now 1-3 against the Bears, fall to 11-10-0 and 22 points.
With the rest of the North American Hockey League pulling away in the point standings, the Kenai River Brown Bears needed a win Friday to jumpstart their weekend series with the Minnesota Magicians.
They got just that, using a strong finish to propel themsevles to a 4-2 win in front of 901 fans at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex Friday night. Kenai River defenseman Austin Chavez mailed home the gamewinner early in the third period to clinch the game.
The feeling of coming home after a long time away can overwhelm even the most resolute of people.
For the coaches of the two large-schools prep wrestling teams on the Peninsula, the feeling was shared as they have stepped back into their old proving grounds.
As the high school season gets underway this weekend for the Kenai Central and Soldotna wrestling teams, changes have transpired that have seen old faces reunite with old places.
The Homer and Nikiski volleyball squads both punched their tickets to the Class 3A state championship tournament with big wins last Saturday, and both share the same goal of winning a state championship.
But the road to the postseason has looked very different for the two schools.
Suffering from a stomach bug Friday evening, Soldotna senior Alex Weeks had memories of the 2011 state swim meet come flooding back to her.
As a freshman three years ago, Weeks was one of several SoHi swimmers that came down with a sickness that slowed the Stars squad at just the wrong week of the year.
The ice will be cold and the action will be hot this year in the world of high school hockey.
But the change of leadership may be just as exciting to watch unfold.
Kenai Central and Soldotna both enter the new season with new head coaches, which along with a bevy of new faces in uniform only adds to the amount of change on the benches.
After Aaron Swanson took the Stars hockey squad to the state tournament last year, he decided to call it quits.
A season's worth of hard work will be put to the test this weekend as the top prep swimmers and divers will converge in Anchorage to battle for gold, silver and bronze at the Alaska School Activities Association state championship meet.
The two-day state championship meet at the Bartlett High School pool will begin today with swimming preliminaries at 1 p.m. and diving preliminaries at 3:30 p.m.
Saturday's day of finals begin at 1 p.m.

From Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship, this handbook on responsible investing provides the blueprint for foundation asset managers interested in multiplying their organization's impact on society through options that link mission with investments that create long-term value to society.
Family Foundations
The Council on Foundations defines a family foundation as one whose funds are derived from members of a single family, though this is not a legal term and has no precise definition. The Council on Foundations suggests that family foundations have at least one family member serving as an officer or board member of the foundation and, as the donor, that individual (or a relative) must play a significant role in governing and/or managing the foundation. Most family foundations are run by family members who serve as trustees or directors on a voluntary basis. In many cases, second- and third-generation descendants of the original donors manage the foundation.
Family foundations make up over half of all private (family, corporate, independent, and operating) foundations, or 40,456 out of approximately 73,764 foundations (Foundation Center, 2011). Family foundations make up approximately one-third of the Council's membership.
Family foundations range in asset size from a few hundred thousand dollars to more than $1 billion. The holdings of family foundations total approximately $294 billion, or about 44 percent of all foundation holdings of $662 billion. Despite this, three out of five family foundations hold assets of less than $1 million. Family foundations gave away approximately $21.3 billion in grants in 2011 (The Foundation Center, 2011).
Below is everything on our site for family foundations. You can use the filtering options on the right to narrow these results.
Prepared by the Southern New Hampshire University's School of Community Economic Development and available through Mission Investors Exchange, this case study explores the details of the F.B. Heron Foundation's rationale, exploration, and implementation of its mission-related investment strategy, and reviews tools (including PRIs), specific investments, interim outcomes, and lessons learned. The case study provides a walk-through of how Heron applies its Mission-related Investment Continuum to its portfolio.
By FSG Social Impact Advisors, this report provides the first comprehensive analysis of mission investing by U.S. foundations and analyzes the activity of 92 U.S. foundations, which have made a combined total of $2.3 billion of mission investments.
From the New Economics Foundation, Mission Possible considers how foundations might more effectively use a proportion of their endowment in support of the change they set out to create – their mission. Starting from the premise that paths are made by walking, it explores the potential of 'mission-connected investment' or MCI – defined as investment which promises a market return but also helps to achieve mission.

The fundamentals are still the same: higher content cost because of competition, powerful competitors like Amazon, stagnant subscriber growth, no proprietary technologies or products.
Take any profit before it's too late. NFLX has no proprietary technology. Everything comes down to licensing deals. It's almost impossible to have monopoly of the contents, and licensing deals have to be resigned every few years. You bet that the content companies will take all the possible profit and leave only enough for NFLX to survive. That's the meaning of content distributor.
You can rest assured that Amazon is not trying to make any profit from you. It's much better than DMV where a traffic ticket can cost you hundreds of dollars. it's even better than Obama and the DemocRats who are trying to steal money from your pockets.

If all miners go broke, who will produce gold ? which means the worst is no profit or at a small loss that's sustainable. All this gold bashing is engineered by the U.S. government. How, I don't know. The reason is to protect U.S. dollars from collapsing due to heavy money printing. Even the Greece crisis is engineered by the U.S. to prevent the Euro from replacing Dollar as the world currency. In short, anything that threatens U.S. dollar will be attacked. Sooner of later, people will realize that gold is in the end the best protection against uncontrolled money printing. Gold will soar back to $2000. This is the best entry point since there's still a lot of room to rise.
No problem, it's an opportunity for those who want to get back in. Gold is the king when China, Japan, Europe, and the U.S. have already printed so much money and still doing it and will contnue to do it.
The big guns behind the scenes have accumulated enough shares. Believe it or not, analysts will start singing the song of Gold. China, Japan, Europe, and the U.S. are all operating their money printing machine at full speed. When the final inevitable collapse happens, gold is the only commodity that's worth something. Just consider the amount of paper money that are already printed by Obama, in the trillions, that's mind-boggling.
Investors dump AAPL with $14.5 earning, but think NFLX's tiny earning can justify $400 / share ?
That's the reason the off-balance debt has increased dramatically, and increasing revenue and profit doesn't actually decreases the free cash flow.
Even mad man like you sometimes can be lucky and makes money. But in the long run, you should be a loser.
You're a lucky man full of wisdom.

News It's Official: Clowns Are Terrifying
posted by January 25 at 9:26 AMon
Scientific American confirms the scariness of clowns:
A study of hospitalized kids in England found that they positively hate clowns, which are often depicted on the walls in childrens wards. Researchers from the University of Sheffield spoke to 255 kids between the ages of 4 and 16, and none of them liked clowns. According to the magazine Nursing Standard, one researcher said, We found that clowns are universally disliked by children. Some found them frightening and unknowable. On the other hand, kids do like images of the Simpsons, Spongebob Squarepants, characters from Monsters Inc., pictures of local teams and athletes, and photos of the local region.
According to the report, the researchers are using their findings to create kid-friendlier hospital environments.

Report: Walid Bin Talal Has not Withdrawn from Egypt's Toshka Project
Saudi billionaire Prince Al Walid Bin Talal has said that he is willing to invest $500 million in the Toshka agricultural project in the Egyptian Western Desert, reported the Middle East Times.
The paper said that that the offer comes after rumors that he would withdraw from the project. Rumors also circulated that he would buy the supermarkets of the British supermarket chain, Sainsbury's. The prince dismissed both rumors as baseless, said the report.
The Saudi business magnate was quoted as saying that he has entered into a partnership with the Talat Mustafa Group to execute the agricultural project in Toshka. He added that investing in Egypt represents a priority for him.
Bin Talal's investments in Egypt are estimated at E£2 billion in all.
The tycoon, who brought hi-tech from the US and Australia to Toshka, was quoted by Egypt online in 1998 as expecting investment in the huge project to bring 20 percent in profits. He criticized Egyptian press that attacked his participation in the promising project.
Citing a report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 1997, Egypt Online said that the Toshka project would achieve a development leap in southern Egypt.
In its report that year, the FAO mission said Egypt could cultivate 3.5 million feddans after reclaiming land in the New Delta. The report said Toshka canal could irrigate 2.5 million feddans while underground water could irrigate one million feddans in addition to 200,000 feddans east of the EL-Ewainat region. The FAO also pointed out that Toshka project will help settle six million citizens in the New Valley region and will create new urban communities – Albawaba.com

If you are doing double workouts (within 6 hours) or competing in a tournament situation, you need to rapidly refuel to get ready for the next bout of exercise. A survey of 263 endurance athletes indicates they understand the importance of recovery after a hard workout, but they dont know what to eat. They believe protein is the key to recovery. Wrong. Carbohydrate should really be the fundamental source of recovery fuel. Or better yet, a foundation of carbs with a little protein, such as chocolate milk. A survey of exhausted cyclists who were given a choice of recovery drinks indicated they all enjoyedand tolerated wellthe chocolate and vanilla milks, more so than water, sports drink or watery chocolate drink. Chocolate milk is familiar, readily availableand tastes good! If you are not lactose-intolerant, give it a try.
How long do your muscles need to recover? A study with elite soccer players suggests they needed five days for sprinting ability to return to pre-game level. That's four days longer than most athletes allow... Do not underestimate the power of rest in a recovery program.
Rremember: food is fuel. As an athlete, you shouldn't just eat,you should be sure to eat right!

Summary. A common application of multilevel models is to apportion the variance in the response according to the different levels of the data. Whereas partitioning variances is straightforward in models with a continuous response variable with a normal error distribution at each level, the extension of this partitioning to models with binary responses or to proportions or counts is less obvious. We describe methodology due to Goldstein and co-workers for apportioning variance that is attributable to higher levels in multilevel binomial logistic models. This partitioning they referred to as the variance partition coefficient. We consider extending the variance partition coefficient concept to data sets when the response is a proportion and where the binomial assumption may not be appropriate owing to overdispersion in the response variable. Using the literacy data from the 1991 Indian census we estimate simple and complex variance partition coefficients at multiple levels of geography in models with significant overdispersion and thereby establish the relative importance of different geographic levels that influence educational disparities in India.
