If you think the PM9 is a handful you have no business shooting the pm45. I personally think it is very pleasant to shoot.
To the guy that is going to sell his because it is worse than a Scandium J-frame....well, I don't want to say anything that will get me barred from this forum.
I want a PM45 as well. It seems to be a fine pistol by the accounts I've read and I do love my little PM9.
Are un-extended, un-padded based mags available for the PM45..?
If so, does anyone have any photos..?
THANKS in advance.
What we've got here is failure to communicate.
I really like my PM40. If i'm not mistaken it's the same size as a PM9. Very accurate. I could see where it might be a handful if soft around the edges.
I was thinking of getting the Kahr 380 about to be released....but since I already have the LCP this 45 is looking tempting!!
Nothing Wrong With Shooting as Long as the Right People Get Shot.
Clint Eastwood, Magnum Force, 1973
Am waiting on a test gun Kahr CW4543. 6+1 .45ACP. I handled one at TREXPO and it feels pretty good in the hand. Interesting engineering and design features to make it slimmer than even the Glock 36 (one of my all time favorite guns). I'm partial to the .45 simply because it was my first duty weapon (Army MP back in the early '80s - not to give away my age). I have no problem with the 9mm or the .40... or the .357Sig, 10mm, .45GAP. But in order of preference (for me) it would be:
Note that it's not a matter of confidence in performance for me but simply a matter of which rounds have been around longer to be "tried and tested true". The .45ACP and 9mm are both over 100 years old. We've got them figured out and know what they'll do. 10mm is about 40. .40S&W is about 25. The .357Sig and .45GAP are both newer. I have confidence that both will work BUT - the .357Sig is sharper recoil in my hand than I like (although I could tolerate it in a duty gun or if it was what I was "stuck" with) and the .45GAP is still an unknown commercial quantity in my mind. Sure, Glock has their guns for it as does Springfield Armory but I'm just not seeing it make headlines like I thought it would.
Anyway - to return to topic - I'm eager to get the CW4543 and will update everyone with photos and performance comments.

"Cogito, ergo armatum sum"
I think, therefore I am armed.
Remember to consider your ammo cost and availability!
The .45ACP, 9mm, and 40 would be OK.
The others will cost you more, and you might have trouble finding them.
While the PM9 is very controllable it is still has a bit of snap to it due to the exceptionally small size. I can imagine the PM45 is snappier yet. A range day gun it would not be. I've carried 9s for some time due to arthritis in both wrists. The 45 makes a big hole, but it comes with a price in ammo cost and shooting comfort as a small frame pistol. JMHO

That's not a poster of Billy Idol, is it?
I'm just a peon in the comment section.
Nope, Sting. He played Feyd-Rautha in "Dune".
Opus is such a poseur!
wasn't there an extended version of dune which was 6 hours long? patrick stewart and sean young was in that movie. then, some years later, a rts game called dune 2 became a cult favorite which spawn command and conquer.
"Dune" = no end of boring.
Tried several times to read the novels but could never make it thru the original. I rather enjoyed the David Lynch version, Sting is great in that film. Can't fear fear, fear's the mindkiller.
That would most of the movies in the last 20 years. Try reading the book, it will make more sense,
"and the popcorn had too much butter…"
He who controls communications controls the universe…
"godz vs smog"- thinly veiled allegory vis-a-vis mother nature striking back at the omni-polluting military industrial complex which threatens all life in the biosphere.
I must get out more…I haven't had an electric, veg-o-matic experience in ages…'most especially not in a theater – what a kick!
Yes the Smog beast was created from human waste and fed upon it. Godzilla had to catch her breath from the awful stuff. Even her atomic breath only made the Smog beast more dangerous.
Dune the movie was a loose adaption with the end pissing me off. Rain on Arrakis? Would kill all of the Spice Worms!
"An electric veg-o-matic experience…"
I'll have to remember that for my own reviews of movies.
The Movie version of "Dune" is the wors movie adaption of a novel that Hollywood has ever done. Kyle MacLachlan was absolutlly terrorable in the lead role of Paul. No way do you buy him as a 14 yr. old boy at the beginning. The SyFy channel miniseries version is better, but still does not do the book justice. "Dune" is arguablly the best SF novel of all time.
in short skip the movie and TV versions and read the book.Skip all the sequals though they are bad and have gone on way to long

Potatoes With Afritude
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 30 mins
Walt Disney World (Boma, Animal Kingdom Lodge)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 5 lbs red potatoes (any variety of potato may be used)
- 2 ounces olive oil
- 3 teaspoons curry powder
- 2 teaspoons turmeric
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- salt and pepper
- Wash potatoes well, and cut into wedges.
- In a large bowl mix the spices and olive oil.
- Add the raw potatoes.
- Coat the potatoes with the spice mixture.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, place in a preheated 350°F oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Most Helpful
This was a wonderful change from the norm! I used only 4 med. red potatoes and reduced all else (except olive oil) to 1/3 of what recipe indicates. Cooked 30 minutes as stated, then "crisped" them a bit under the broiler for a few minutes. Especially excellent with a topping of butter mixed with a little mustard & a few drops of worchestershire sauce! Heavenly. Will definite make again!
These worked out really well with a lovely colour but because I used only 3 lbs of potatoes the spices were a little overpowering for the kids. I would make this exactly as posted for the best result.
We really enjoyed this. I forgot that turmeric turns everything a nice yellow. I made as posted, but next time I will crisp under the broiler like another reviewer suggested. I did cut the recipe down to serve two and it worked great. Thanks tbean1 for posting.

How do I make some reference entries bold in bibtex?
It depends on the bibliography style you're using. But you could use the common commands to choose bold typeface:
For instance, with this file
and that simple example
you would get:
The bold typeface has been added to the italic shape of the plain style. It's just an example, I would not combine font properties this way.
A more consistent way would be to modify the bibliography style according to your needs. Or use biblatex.

I don't speak English very well... So my daughters helped me with the translation! My daughters and your neighbor could answer all your questions in English, German and Spanish.
I try to be as flexible as possible for arrival and departure times and I am always happy to share my experience of the neighborhood with you.
The studio can host 2 to 4 people, and is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay
- Queen-size bed and sofa bed with fresh sheets
- WiFi, TV
- Closet
- Iron and ironing board
- In the kitchen: microwave oven, induction hobs, fridge, coffee maker, kettle, toaster, and regular utensils
- In the bathroom: fresh towels and basic cosmetic products, hair dryer, cosmetic mirror
The area is famous for its coffee shops and restaurants, with sunny terraces almost all year long.
It is also full of designers and artists shops, street art, and attracts a cosmopolitan crowd.
There are many groceries stores close to the studio, and lots of them are open every day and late at night.
If you are here on a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday morning, I recommend you to go to La Plaine Market, where you can find everything you need… and more.
And if you are looking for the most well-known chains and brands, you can walk 10 minutes to Rue Saint Ferreol, Rue de Rome or Rue Paradis, the more conventional shopping streets.
The closest underground stop is 2 minutes away (Notre Dame du Mont-Cours Julien, on Line 2) and there are a few bus and tramway stops close to the flat.
You can also easily find bike hire and cabs.
At the heart of Marseille, free parking is not easy to find, but there are 2 public car parks 100 meters away, and there are many pay parking spaces on Place Jean Jaures.
A map with free parking streets is also available and you might be lucky, as people come and go frequently in this neighborhood.
An other studio is available in the same building. Please ask.
- turn the lights off and lower the heating when you are not in the studio,
- clean the flat before you leave and take the trash out
- place used sheets and towels in a basket.
Dear guests, please note that the price of the rent does not include cleaning fees, as some of you are happy to clean the apartment yourselves before leaving. In order to guarantee a great experience to the next visitors, we ask you to leave the flat as clean as you found it.
If you do not wish to clean yourself, please advise us upon arrival, let us know of your estimated departure time and leave €15 for the person who will take care of cleaning.
Please note that if you do not advise us and/or do not clean properly, €20 will be deducted from your deposit.

Children's LiteratureA brief phrase or sentence on each double-page spread opposite an illustration introduces the variety of creatures in the arachnid class of arthropods, while listing the characteristics they share�eight legs, two main body parts, outside skeleton, along with other important facts about their location and behavior. The fifteen creatures depicted and named are then each described in detail in paragraphs in the Afterword. John Sill's naturalistic watercolor depictions of each arachnid in a typical action are made visually appealing while supplying the facts of their natural history. A useful reference as well as a way to make these creatures less frightening. 2003, Peachtree Publishers,

Episode 3
Les Kelly's Britain Episode 3 of 4
Les Kelly (Kevin Bishop) hosts a magazine show from hell. Les is a cross between Jeremy Kyle and a slap in the face. He claims this is the only radio show for 'normal, decent people'. 'If you aren't normal or decent, this is not the show for you,' says Les.
Should able bodied people have the same rights as the disabled when it comes to having mobility scooters, guide dogs and hearing aides. This and other outrageous questions are put by Les Kelly, radio's most insensitive presenter. Also on the show - a preacher whose religious education lessons involves twisting balloons into the shape of Moses and Jesus, and a woman with an obsessive hatred of Belgians.

This study is a replication and extension of an earlier study, using a larger sample, a better measure of poverty status, and new longitudinal data. The study used path analysis to test hypothesized models of how the Parents as Teachers (PAT) program affects children's school readiness and subsequent third-grade achievement. Participants were 5,721 kindergarten children who were chosen to be representative of all children beginning public school in the state of Missouri in the fall of 1998–2000. These children were subsequently located in the state's third-grade test database 4–5 years later (82% of the original kindergarten sample). The causal models, which postulated both direct and indirect effects of PAT, were strongly supported by the data. Editors' Strategic Implications: The findings add to the evidence that the PAT home visiting program holds promise as a primary prevention program. The authors demonstrate how parenting practices (including reading to children and enrolling them in preschool) promote both school readiness and subsequent academic achievement, but they also remind us of the pervasive effects of poverty.

|"Guano Cafe" at Guano Point.
The Bat Cave guano mine, located in the western Grand Canyon of Arizona at river mile 266, 800 feet (240 m) above Lake Mead, was an unusual, expensive and noteworthy mining operation. The natural cave was a bat habitat and contained an accumulation of guano.
The cave was apparently discovered in the 1930s by a passing boater. Several unsuccessful early attempts were made to mine the nitrogen-rich guano deposit within the cave for fertilizer. The U.S. Guano Corporation bought the property around 1957. Based on a reputable mining engineer's estimate that the cave contained 100,000 tons of guano, the company constructed an elaborate plan to extract the guano. A small airstrip was built on a nearby sandbar in the Colorado River, and all supplies and machinery needed were then flown in. An aerial tramway was built from the mine to Guano Point on the South Rim, with the cable headhouse built on land leased from the Hualapai tribe. The cableway crossed the river, with a main span of 7,500 feet (2,300 m), and a vertical lift of 2,500 feet (760 m). About 30,000 feet (9,100 m) of 1.5 inch (38 mm) steel cable were used, to support and pull a cable car large enough to transport 2,500 pounds (1,100 kg) of guano. The same car was used to transport the miners to and from work. The guano was mined using a large industrial "vacuum-cleaner" with ten-inch hoses. From the cablehead, the guano was hauled by truck to Kingman, Arizona and packaged for retail sale.
During construction of the cableway, which took 14 months, the first of several mishaps occurred. When first tensioning the main cable, a clutch-lever broke, dropping 9,850 feet (3,000 m) of cable into the canyon. A new cable was ordered and strung, and mining began. The 20,000 feet (6,100 m) pull-cable wore out after a few months use and had to be replaced, bringing the company's total investment up to $US 3,500,000.
The mining engineer's estimate of the potential size of the guano deposit proved wildly optimistic: the cave contained only about 1,000 tons of minable guano, not the 100,000 tons of the engineer's estimate. Most of the cave was filled with valueless limestone rubble.
In 1959, the cableway was used for the film Edge of Eternity, with the climax of the film involving a fight on a U.S. Guano cable car suspended above the Grand Canyon.
Mining ceased in early 1960. Guano sold for about $100 a ton then,[1] so this was not a profitable venture.
Post mine activity[edit]
A few months after closure of the mine, a US Air Force jet, illegally "hot-dogging" down the canyon, clipped the cable, damaging the plane's wing and severing the cable. The plane survived, and U.S. Guano successfully sued the Air Force for damaging their property, offsetting some of their losses.
In 1975 the abandoned mine became part of Grand Canyon National Park. The National Park Service later proposed removing the tramway remnants within the park, but there was public protest against demolition of these interesting historic relics. As of 2007, some remnants of the old operation remain at Bat Cave,[2] and on the South Rim in the Hualapai Indian Reservation.
Guano Point is still a popular stop for air tours from Las Vegas, Nevada. Tourists can inspect the remnants of the old mining operation. Tour operators pay use fees to the Hualapai tribe, and the tribe offers a barbecue lunch near the old tramway head house, as part of their Grand Canyon West business venture.

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
I have a feeling I'll be stirring the pot a bit with this selection, but I care not!
The Intimates by Joe Casey (writer), Giuseppe Camuncoli (penciller, issues #1-8), Scott Iwahashi (penciller, issues #9-10), Carlos D'Anda (penciller, issues #10, 12), Alé Garza (artist, issues #11-12), Jim Lee (artist of random panels, issues #1-2, 5, 8), Sandra Hope (inker, issues #1-10), Randy Mayor (colorist, issues #1-5, 7-11), Wildstorm FX (colorist, issues #6, 12), Tony Aviña (colorist, issues #6, 8, 10), Johnny Rench (colorist, issues #9, 11), Richard Starkings (letterer, issues #1-7, 11), Rob Steen (letterer, issues #1-8), and Comicraft (letterer, issues #9-12).
DC/Wildstorm, 12 issues (#1-12), cover dated January-December 2005.
The Intimates is the third of three Wildstorm comics that, in the first half of this decade, made Joe Casey one of, if not the most, interesting writer of superhero books you could find. The trifecta began with his work on Wildcats (which spanned 2000-2004 and included the 2.0 and 3.0 version), continued with the hallucinatory Automatic Kafka (2002), and ended with this comic. The Intimates, to be honest, is the weakest of the trio, and one gets the sense that Casey was exasperated by the reception his attempts at recreating superheroes for a new millennium were getting and started to pull back (this is most evident with Gødland, which is a brilliant, brilliant comic book but treads no new ground in the arena of cosmic superhero comics). Thus, the brash youngster who toiled for Marvel in the late 1990s and then tried to re-invent the superhero with Wildcats has, in the space of a few years, become the bitter cynic who spends most of the final issue of The Intimates wondering why the book failed. (As an aside: I've met Casey a few times, at the past few San Diego conventions, and he's as jazzed as ever about writing stuff, and it shows in his work. You can be bitter about an experiment failing and then get back on the horse and fire off great stuff over the next few years. I'm speaking of Casey's apparent mindset during these years, based solely on what's on the printed page – the end of Automatic Kafka and the end of this series. He might have been yanking all our chains and wasn't sad at all that the books got the axe. You just never can tell!) It's part of this bitterness that makes The Intimates a Comic You Should Own, in fact. There's such tension between the things Casey wants to do with the series and the fact that it's just not going to last, and that's part of what makes this such an interesting comic.
Whereas Wildcats is a re-invention of superheroes within a superheroic framework (Grifter still kicked ass, in other words) and Automatic Kafka was more caustically satirical, The Intimates is neither a total re-imagining of superheroes nor a savage satire. In many ways, it's more subtle than AK, but it's also gentler. That doesn't mean it's not dripping with irony, though, beginning with the title. Given that the book is about teenaged superheroes, two groups with built-in intimacy issues, the title mocks our expectations before we even begin reading. Casey piles on the irony by adding layers between the reader and the character, deliberately highlighting the fact that we're reading a text about fictional characters. He does this in many ways. The storytelling is staccato, shifting quickly from one scene to another and back, never letting us get our bearings. This is especially evident in the scenes set in the school – the Seminary – where the cast is learning how to be superheroes. Casey jumps back and forth between cast members, forcing us to splice together the narrative, distancing us from the characters. Intercut between the "present" are asides showing secret origins, fantasies of the characters, the teachers in their superhero guises from years earlier, and built-in advertisements about the products the cast members use. Then, of course, there are the infamous "info scrolls" on the bottom of the pages, where Casey ruminates about any- and everything that strikes his fancy, as he either comments on the story in progress, gives us various "factoids" (all of which, he admits near the end of the run, are made up), explains and advises teenagers on how to interact with adults, or even narrates all of Kefong's summer vacation in Las Vegas. In the final issue, he writes about how the comic itself came together, comments obliquely on the industry itself, and makes meta-commentaries in the flow of the narrative: Punchy's favorite spy comic gets cancelled in issue #12, and he rants about "fill-ins" – once Camuncoli left The Intimates, the art went downhill – and reads on-line that the editor loved the series, but that it never found its place in the market – a commentary about every cancelled series, more than likely, who often have someone championing it until push comes to shove. All of these tricks are meant to keep us separate from the book, and Casey mocks the notion of "intimacy" with these characters. He does this for a specific reason, and it's not to make sure the inevitable cancellation of the book won't sting. All of these barriers to involvement with the characters make the true "intimate" moments stand out more and cut us deeper. The end of issue #3, when Punchy realizes that Empty Vee has been sending him text messages and not Destra and he cruelly rebuffs her, is a devastating portrait of teenaged emotions, both from Punchy and Vee. When Duke and Destra dance in issue #4, it's a wonderful moment, a true moment even, as these two people come together briefly for complicated reasons but do not become any closer. The kids' journey into Sykes' mind in issue #6 tears away their bravado, exposing their deepest fears, but what's interesting is that Casey refuses to allow this to become a cathartic moment – the kids do change after their experiences, but very gradually and very subtly. And Punchy's sexual encounter with Flora in issue #8 is beautiful because it reveals Punchy's insecurities and desires, something he can't admit to himself. All of these moments, and other brief ones like them, become more powerful because it feels as if Casey is simply taking down a barrier or two just for a moment before throwing it back up again. It's all manipulative, of course, but that's the point.
Casey's metaphorical use of teenagers makes The Intimates fascinating, too. As I noted above, teens and superheroes have/would have intimacy issues, but making the teenagers superheroes themselves allows Casey to tap into the idea of identity and rebellion that superheroes often grapple with. Identity, of course, is crucial to teens, as they often have a difficult time figuring out their own identities and construct ones to suit their peers. Casey belabors the metaphor with Empty Vee, the overweight character who must concentrate to become visible, but she also turns out to be one of the most interesting characters as the series progresses. Vee is a typical tragic figure, crushing on the brash Punchy until he destroys her emotionally in issue #3, and then twisting that crush into a sexual voraciousness over her summer vacation, when she beds first a bass player in an opening act before moving up to the lead singer of the headlining band. Of course, Vee's summer escapades are another construction, as she rebels against Punchy's rejection by becoming more of a predator (she initially sent Punchy the text messages, after all). Meanwhile, the other cast members deal with showing different facets of themselves to the world in much the same way that Vee does. Punchy, the obnoxious wannabe hero who speaks in "gangsta" slang (more than one character comments on the idiocy of him talking that way) and lies about his family and his prowess with girls, is rebuffed by Destra, rebuffs Vee, and hooks up with an old friend. When he leaves Flora at the end of issue #8 and immediately heads out on his grand adventure with Destra, it's a sad moment, because we get the sense that Punchy and Flora need to say more to each other, but Punchy can't or won't leave behind the image he's created for himself, even though no one likes him. The scenes spanning issues #8 and 9 are fascinating, as Punchy leaves Flora even though it's clear he doesn't want to, and then is accosted by Destra, who wants him to go with her. Destra, the epitome of cool in the comic, never really cracks except in two panels in issue #9 – when she asks Punchy to go with her and, a moment later, when there's an awkward pause. Iwahashi, unfortunately, isn't up to creating the right amount of awkwardness in the panels, but it's clear from Casey's writing how difficult it is for Destra to ask for help from Punchy (Duke had already turned her down). Of all the main characters (Kefong and Sykes don't really count), Destra has built a sturdy edifice, but even she isn't confident in her identity. This problem with identity is most obvious in issue #5, which focuses on Dead Kid Fred, who is, well, dead but still suicidal. That Punchy figures out what Dead Kid Fred is planning is another source of irony, as it's only because Punchy thinks Dead Kid Fred's melancholy on-line journal is written by a girl that he pays any attention to it. Punchy saves Fred almost despite himself.
It's not difficult to figure out why The Intimates failed. It really doesn't have much in the way of plot, with Casey only bringing in a rather desultory story about the food being tainted by the company that sells it to the school in order to keep the kids docile, but like everything else in the book, that got cut short when the book got cancelled. Casey is obviously not interested in plots, but when you're publishing a book under the Wildstorm imprint and you feature characters that are, after all, superheroes (not to mention cameos by the Engineer, Mr. Majestic, and Spartan), readers kind of expect it. With Automatic Kafka, we had the barrier of Ashley Wood's decidedly non-superheroic art, but Camuncoli is definitely a good superhero artist, so the fact that Casey is subverting our expectations may have been his downfall (I certainly can't definitely say that's why the book failed, but on-line chatter about it seemed to indicate that the main complaint was that "nothing happened"). Casey is far more interested in trying to figure out what makes teenagers and/or superheroes tick, and that's a tough nut to crack. What's best about Casey's writing in this series (and in his Wildstorm days as a whole) is that he confronts us with things that we don't usually see in superhero comics. With the Teen Titans or the New Mutants, to name a couple of teen superhero books, we got lip service to the anxieties that teens go through. Casey tries to show how insane it can be to be a teen, and he adds to it the oversaturation of twentieth-century advertising, which adds more pressure. This is a far more "real" teen book than we've seen in comics, showing teens as rebellious conformists, with all the contradictions implied in that phrase. Most teen books seem to portray them as adults with a few immature quirks, but Casey's cast is much more interesting than that. The lack of an overall plot is a deliberate choice by Casey, highlighting the lassitude that many teens (and, hell, adults) feel because they aren't "stars" in some grand narrative. It's pertinent that the most "together" of the teens, Kefong, is a supporting character whose big summer adventure is narrated in the info scrolls, while Punchy and Destra's significant (to them) but ultimately pointless trek to discover the big food secret takes center stage. Even Duke's work for the government is downplayed, because it's too "important." Casey cares more about showing Punchy and Destra's emotional growth on their journey rather than Duke's efforts to prop up the status quo. For this, plot is insignificant.
The Intimates plays with the idea of overturning that status quo, but unlike his previous two Wildstorm books, which actually challenged the way the world works, this one must fail, because the kids aren't fully formed enough to do it. Like Automatic Kafka, Casey gives the kids an extremely metafictional "out" at the end of the series, even if he doesn't show up in the book as he does in AK (he even calls the ending of issue #12 the "Kafka gambit"). It's an ending that shows that the kids are growing up, as they begin to work together as a team, but they retain their youthful exuberance and, yes, obnoxiousness. In a strange way, much like Casey's ending of Automatic Kafka, we feel as if the kids "escape" more than the Seminary, but the bounds of the comic book itself, even as Casey reminds us, via the info scrolls, that the characters exist only on the written page … and in readers' imagination. That's where The Intimates triumphs, because Casey's blending of traditional narrative with metafictional commentary has reminded us again what kind of power stories have. That's what makes this series so good.
The Intimates, as far as I can tell, has never been collected in trade paperback. So sad! It's worth a dive into the back issues boxes, though. And, as always, I feel I must steer you toward the archives, incomplete as they are. Don't let my laziness in fixing them stop you!
I remember trying this series out once.
I do know I didn't really care much for this series at the time.
Ah well, they can't all be winners.
I loved this book. I got my username from it. I think most people have forgotten it now, so people think I got it because I'm angry or something. Nope, I just loved this book!
It is ridiculous how much of Casey's Wildstorm work was never issued in trade.
Iirc the interview Joe Casey did with Matt Fraction, the name intimates was a play on the Ultimates.
Sadly much like Casey's other Wildstorm work at the time, died too soon but at least it was interesting.
I mean its hard to believe the guy who was writing Wildcats Volume 2 was writing Uncanny X-men at the same time, as the quality levels were very different.
Has anyone done a review of Casey & Wood's Automatic Kafka?
Now, that was fun to read.
Tom: Of course I did, as it was earlier in the alphabet than this! Sadly, it was been lost to the dust bins of the Internet, but I still have it on my computer, so I will have a Comics You Should Own Flashback fairly soon where I will ruminate on the wackiness that is Automatic Kafka!
I picked up the middle of the run in a cheap bin but it never really did anything for me. I do thing the basic idea has potential and the market could use an updated series like this now buidling more on the twitter/facebook ascetic for the runing info streams.
I wanted to like this book, but I really hated the art. It was just too hard to look at.
Got the whole series when it came out. I loved it! But I'm also not surprised that it didn't succeed in the current marketplace.
I'm not sure I got what Intimates was supposed to be, but I sure enjoyed the novelty of it. It's the only comic of its type.
Casey used to do some good stuff.
Now, we get Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance. Heavens.
I really liked this one. I liked the tone, and it's so rare to get this kinda formalistic/structural experimentation from superhero books.
I'd SO much rather have more of this than Godland.
its a shame Joe Casey has not done anything interesting after this. its like he gave up. godland fun and all but i would rather have the old Joe Casey back.
Casey used to do some good stuff.
Now, we get Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance. Heavens.
its a shame Joe Casey has not done anything interesting after this.
So, no one's reading Dark Reign: Zodiac, then?
Well, I love Godland. And Zodiac was very good. And some of his graphic novels – Nixon's Pals, for instance – have been good. I do wish his experimental stuff had sold better, though. Maybe he'll go back to it some day!
I really liked this. It's a shame it never got released in trade.
The Intimates, one of the many reasons Joe Casey is a far better writer than people give him credit for. His stuff for Wildstorm was always of exceptional quality.
This series was fantastic. The final issue made me so sad. I do wish your review spoke a bit more about the Camuncoli (sp?) artwork. That stuff was great. I'm interested by some of the comments here. I think some of the people poo-pooing this series probably just have bad taste. By the way, Casey's uncanny stuff benefits greatly from a reread. I think Uncanny was maligned a bit excessively because people compared it to the fantastic stuff in the other X-book of the time, written by the God of All Comics as it was.
Casey is hit or miss for me. He does have interesting ideas sometimes, but I'd like to see him focus on just telling a good story than trying to re-invent the wheel.
Ryan: I didn't speak too much about the art because Camuncoli left and the art went way downhill (D'Anda's wasn't bad, but other than that, it wasn't good). Camuncoli did a nice job with the art, but to me, it was just good superheroic art and not something to spend too much time on. I do wish he had done the entire series, though.
I'll have to track this down. I also need to track down a run of Automatic Kafka, as I was forced to jettison it (and a lot of other comics from that period) a few years back, and now am starting to miss them mightily. I do wish Wildstorm would release some trades of this stuff, but for now I guess back-issue hunting is the way to go.
And one should note that Casey's running commentary on the bottom of the pages presaged FB/Twitter status updates.
Yes, but wasn't Tony Millionaire doing the same kind of thing in his strips before the intimates came out?
I'm very conflicted when it comes to The Intimates, because it's not a good book if you're looking for a strong plot of any kind — even the characters aren't as well developed as I'd like. But, on a stylistic level, I love it. Casey's storytelling, pacing, and technique are all in top form. More than that, he captures the feeling of being a teenager just about as well as anyone could ever hope to. I've tried to see the lack of strong plotting as coming out of that: nothing really happens when you're a teenager. It may SEEM like things happen and are important, but they never really are. A big dance is the most important thing to ever happen until it's a week later and you've completely forgotten about it. He can't help but present that sense of unimportance throughout because… well, most of this stuff doesn't matter. Of course, that answers the question of why the book never caught on: who wants to read about a bunch of stories that don't matter? (Well, this guy… but… yeah…)
I still love 'The Kafka Gambit' — take YOUR characters off the board so they don't wind up in some shitty comic three years down the line, written by someone who claims to LOVE them but obviously doesn't understand anything about them (how DOES that work? anyone?)… oh, I could go on and on and on…

The Gamble That Failed
"September Hope" tells the story of Operation Market-Garden, one of the most decisive battles of World War II.
'I always felt we tried to go a bridge too far." The signature line of the epic 1977 World War II film was delivered in a distinctly British accent, and the story of Operation Market-Garden, the failed Allied lunge over Holland's Lower Rhine River in September 1944, has been told most famously from the British perspective. But the accents of most of the assault's 38,000 paratroopers were distinctly American, and John C. McManus's new study of the operation, "September Hope," speaks passionately for the Yanks who fought and died in the land of tulips, canals and windmills.
In September 1944, the Allied high command believed the German army was on the brink of collapse. Dwight Eisenhower and Bernard Montgomery, the senior Allied commanders in Europe, thought that seizing a bridgehead over the Rhine at Arnhem would throw open the door to the north German plains and allow a rapid armored thrust toward Berlin. They saw Market-Garden as a high-risk, high-reward gamble that, with luck, might end the war by Christmas.
The struggle for a Lower Rhine crossing was actually two large, complex operations. In the first phase (Operation Market), the Allies planned to drop lightly armed parachute and glider troops behind German lines, to capture and hold a highway and a string of bridges over the Dommel, Aa, Waal, Maas and Lower Rhine Rivers. In the second phase (Operation Garden), the British XXX Corps would ride to the rescue. Led by the Guards Armoured Division, the XXX Corps would dash over the captured bridges, relieving the 101st Airborne Division at Eindhoven on the first day, the 82nd Airborne at Nijmegen on the second day, and the British 1st Airborne Division and the Polish 1st Parachute Brigade, furthest away at Arnhem, on the fourth day.
The operations were poorly conceived from the beginning. Unlike the paratroop drops in Sicily and Normandy, Market would take place in broad daylight and in full view of the German defenders. The road the paratroopers were to hold—soon dubbed "Hell's Highway"—was difficult for armor to traverse. To make matters worse, the operation would be run on a shoestring budget for gasoline, ammunition and aircraft, because Allied supplies could not be moved quickly enough from Normandy ports to the advancing front.
September Hope
By John McManus
(NAL Caliber, 502 pages, $27.95)
Risks piled upon risks, and warnings of formidable panzer divisions stationed in Holland went unheeded. Distracted by fuel shortages, complex command relationships between the national armies and an unrealistic hope of German collapse, Allied commanders were blind to compelling arguments against the mission. As Mr. McManus writes: "No one was willing to do what must be done—kill Market-Garden in its cradle."
After leaving the planning tables of Versailles and Brussels, "September Hope" climbs into the Dutch skies and drops the reader into the intense firefights raging around Holland's winding rivers. Mr. McManus's account is almost surrealistically violent: Battles are fought with rifle, grenade and knife; prisoners are executed without ceremony or reflection; dying men beg for morphine. "Screams have no nationality," as one sergeant remarked. Employing a rich mixture of first-person accounts and perceptive tactical analysis, Mr. McManus gives the reader a glimpse into the shrapnel and lead flying among desperate soldiers, and his pacing is impeccable.
Once the paratroopers landed, they were beset by crack German panzer and infantry divisions. Hell's Highway proved too constricted an artery to carry the XXX Corps to Arnhem, and breakdowns in the timetable condemned paratroopers to battles of attrition unsuited to their special talents. By the time the airborne divisions were withdrawn two months later, the Americans had suffered some 7,000 casualties (out of 28,000 soldiers committed), while the British 1st Airborne lost 8,000 men (out of 10,000). Market-Garden was a fiasco of the first magnitude.
Mr. McManus ably chronicles both American divisions, but it is the 82nd Division's leader, Brig. Gen. James Gavin, who commands the brightest spotlight. From the flames of Nijmegen, Gavin emerges as a larger-than-life figure—and the only hero in this story who wears general's stars. His iron will, devotion to his men and reassuring presence among the front lines inspired his troopers to attempt the impossible.
In one of the book's most awe-inspiring episodes, Gavin reluctantly sends a battalion across the forbidding Waal River into withering German fire. Paddling flimsy canvas boats with rifle butts and bare hands, the men "prepared in our own way to meet our maker," as one lieutenant recalled. "It did not seem militarily or humanly possible to accomplish such a mission." Yet accomplish it they did. "By the time midafternoon shadows began dancing along the ruined blocks of downtown Nijmegen," Mr. McManus writes, "the houses overlooking the bridges were under Anglo-American control." Yet it was all for naught.
With the failure to relieve the paratroopers at Arnhem, the Allied mirage of an easy path to Berlin faded. The American airborne divisions, reinforced by heavy infantry, settled into a stalemate around Nijmegen for six bitter weeks of fighting. In late November, the Allied command threw in the towel and pulled the weary paratroopers out of the line. Arnhem remained in German hands, and the northern door to Germany was bolted shut. "September hope had turned into November despair," Mr. McManus aptly concludes. Allied victory would have to await developments along the heavily fortified Siegfried Line to the south.
Operation Market-Garden remains one of the enduring tragedies of the Allied war in Europe, and "September Hope" describes the slow, unfolding train wreck in gripping detail. It is a testament to men assigned the impossible who, through sheer willpower, almost pulled it off.

With their second demo, Windir show their ultimate decision - to make shitty music.
Whereas Sogneriket was dull, uninspired, malformed, but at the same time moderately enjoyable, Det Gamle Riket is outright bad. Here Windir abandon their former confusion and fully embrace their true selves - simpletons making bouncy cartoon music that metalheads can still enjoy because, hey, it's got guitar distortion and blastbeats.
The first demo was kind of dumb, by all means, but only kind of. It was casual, laid-back, simple, but it was not horrible. You could put it on, wash the dishes, do homework, and not be bothered by it. It was easy listening music(why anyone would want to make easy listening black metal beats me). This, however, is just crap. If the awkward melodic changes and completely illogical phrasal transitions don't grab your attention, the disparity of the REALLY HIGH notes being combined with REALLY LOW notes into a single riff definitely will, and the way these form into annoyingly sugary melodies will keep your attention from being diverted to anything more worthwhile - which is to say, anything at all.
Fans of Windir will enjoy this to a degree, but the three tracks that best exemplify why people like Windir would go on to be replicated in a "better" form on the first LP anyway. Like the first demo, this one is thereby rendered pointless. Well, by that and by the fact it's just crappy music. Avoid. All that can be said in its favor is that at least Windir realized what their true intentions were, preventing them from the common metal band fate of releasing a copious amount of halfway-decent material that always gains some dedicated fans simply because it doesn't suck outright. Thanks for sucking outright, Windir - metal thanks you(with a freezing, drunken death).

After two release date changes, a trailer almost a year ago and one still from the film (above), we're excited to see more from Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Slayer (formerly known as Jack the Giant Killer). Now, courtesy of Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, we have an all-new, far more epic trailer for Singer's take on the Jack and the Beanstalk story.
While the first trailer established the importance of the beans, this one explains how Jack (Nicholas Hoult) finds himself in the company of Princess Isabelle (Eleanor Tomlinson) and establishes why he decides to help get her back. All in all this new trailer features Ewan McGregor's Elmont and Stanley Tucci as Lord Roderick more prominently, more action and a whole heck of a lot more giants, an army of them in fact.
Ian McShane, Warwick Davis and Bill Nighy also star in the film. David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers) and Darren Lemke (Lost) came up with the story which has been handled by Dobkin, longtime Singer collaborator Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects) and Dan Studney (Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical). Jack the Giant Slayer opens March 1. Watch the trailer below, or in HD at Apple.com.
"Jack the Giant Slayer" tells the story of an ancient war that is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack (Nicholas Hoult) into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend–and gets the chance to become a legend himself.
So the hollywood meme now is to take pretty much every fairy tale, piece of classic literature, and real life historical figures, and turn them into action movies with guns, zombies, and lots of blood & gore, etc.
