Legislature struggles to revamp water-bond measure

The Legislature will revisit overhauling an $11.1 billion water bond measure that is scheduled to go before voters in November, when they return from a month long summer recess.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The Legislature adjourned for its summer recess Thursday without meeting its top remaining priority: overhauling the $11.1 billion water bond scheduled to go before voters this fall.
The existing measure, which will appear on the November ballot as Proposition 43, passed in 2009 under then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, but it has been delayed twice. Most lawmakers have agreed it is too large, filled with special-interest pork and too contentious to win voter approval. But they have struggled to find a compromise.
"The most difficult thing about this [auth] whole discussion is it took six years last time," said Assembly Republican Leader Connie Conway, who served during the last negotiations. "It's like a telenovela with really ugly actors: It's drama, drama, drama."
The deadline to change the ballot measure is sometime in August.
A replacement water bond requires support from Gov. Jerry Brown and two-thirds of lawmakers in each house, including Republicans in the Senate, where Democrats are short of a supermajority. All are under pressure from environmentalists, farmers, water exporters and trade unions, among other interests. Even within parties, lawmakers have been divided among regional lines for water needs.
Reaching an agreement has become more pressing in recent years because California is in the third year of a historic drought. At stake in the negotiations are new dams and storage prioritized by Central Valley lawmakers and Republicans, groundwater-contamination cleanup favored by Los Angeles-area lawmakers and wildlife and conservation projects pushed by environmentalists.
"How you meet all those needs and bring the costs down is very difficult," said Assemblyman Henry Perea, D-Fresno.
Water storage is among the most contentious issues, with Republicans demanding stronger protections and funding and environmentalists raising concerns about diverting water from fish and wildlife. Provisions to restore parts of the Northern California delta are seen as promoting Brown's proposal for freeway-size tunnels to divert water to farms and residents in the south. Senate Democrats say provoking a regional water battle ensures its defeat.
Brown, running for re-election on a platform of fiscal restraint, has pushed for a $6 billion bond. That leaves legislative leaders feeling pulled in opposite directions as they seek to cut spending while appeasing interests to win votes.
Senate Democrats unveiled a $7.5 billion plan for water projects Thursday, after a larger plan failed to pass a floor vote last week.
"In the water world, you can't always get everything you want," said Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento.
But the plan reduces funding for storage, and supporters say it takes a neutral position on the tunnels. Both are sticking points for some Senate Republicans, who did not support SB848.
Meanwhile, negotiations have stalled in the Assembly, where Democrats have yet to coalesce around a single proposal as interest groups demand more spending. Will Shuck, a spokesman for Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, said the speaker is pushing members and others involved in negotiations to have realistic expectations.
California is in a state of drought emergency after a string of several relatively dry winters. Farmland is being left fallow, dozens of communities are imposing mandatory water restrictions and court rulings have ordered that more water be released from reservoirs to sustain fish species in Northern California's delta.
Lawmakers have the option of sticking with the existing $11.1 billion bond on the ballot if they fail to reach an agreement. Some Republicans have touted the bond for being comprehensive, despite its shortcomings.
"If that's the strategy, that's a heck of a risk to take on behalf of millions of Californians depending on additional water investment in this state," Steinberg said.

Brainsteering: The Better Approach to Breakthrough Ideasby Kevin P. Coyne, Shawn T. Coyne
View All Available Formats & Editions
From business strategists (and brothers) Shawn and Kevin Coyne/em>
"[The Coynes'] logical thinking exercises will help readers to maximize their ideation skills, both by systematically exploring every possible nook and cranny of an issue to find new ideas, and by systematically evaluating and honing the results." —Publishers Weekly
From business strategists (and brothers) Shawn and Kevin Coyne comes a breakthrough approach to developing better ideas. Brainsteering is a comprehensive, research-based, tried-and-tested approach to the principal challenge in business and life: how to consistently and effectively create powerful new ideas. Brainsteering offers a way out of fruitless brainstorming sessions. In the tradition of the Heath Brothers' Made to Stick and Gordon Mackenzie's Orbiting Giant Hairball, the Coynes deliver the surest path to success for anyone looking to unlock the secrets of innovation.
Editorial Reviews
Why think outside the box? Write business consultants Coyne and Coyne, "the key is to find just the right box in which to think."
Readers may not have known that a famed Broadway producer, responsible for such hits asThe Lion King andBeauty and the Beast, was also the father of the corn maze, an idea whose time, it seems, had come when he hit on it back in the '90s. Corn mazes are now a big draw in some parts of the country, though the authors must be using faulty stats to set the number of visitors at twice that of the Grand Canyon. Why couldn't we think of that contribution to American civilization? We can, write the authors—it's mostly a matter of learning how to ask lots of questions that might generate the desired answer, which presumably is to hit it rich, in the manner of the "Z-1-4" ("zero to $1 billion within 4 years") businesses they profile here. Enter "Brainsteering," a gimmicky but, at least on the face, effective method for "consistently generating breakthrough ideas." It would steal the authors' thunder to describe this method too closely, but let's take, for instance, their thoroughly useful series of questions meant to help pick out a welcome gift for the person who may have everything: "What was their favorite toy, hobby, or activity during the period of their life on which they look back most fondly?" "What event or accomplishment in their life are they most proud of"? The authors pepper their narrative with such idea-sparkers, with an appendix that is worth the cover price, and introduce acronym-tagged concepts that seem as if they ought to bear fruit, as with the notion of a "mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive" system of investigation.
The occasional distractions of pop-business cheerleading notwithstanding, if the book evokes a few creative ideas, it will have done good service.

CoD: Black Ops patch is in the works, PS3 issues addressedWritten by: / / No Comments
As is becoming normal for massive videogame releases, the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops from Activision and Treyarch isn't going too smoothly. The game itself may have flown from retail shelves, but PC and PS3 gamers have been having extraordinary troubles with the title.
PC players have been reporting serious 'lag' issues while playing both singleplayer and multiplayer portions of Black Ops, while PS3 gamers needed to compile a list of complaints to fully demonstrate their experience with the title.
Luckily, and as expected, developer Treyarch is currently hard at work on patches for all platforms, while community manager Josh Olin has directly addressed the PS3 problems people have been subjected to.
From a Twitter tweet, Olin posted:
"Hello World. We're here, working. We will patch all platforms, as always. I'll have info of substance once we catch our breath."
Olin also reminds players that it's 'only been one day,' since the game was released, and calls for the sympathetic patience of gamers worldwide as Treyarch works on any issues that have cropped up
Additionally, in a forum post on the official Call of Duty boards, Olin piped up for PS3 gamers, writing:
"Hey PS3 gamers,
"We are listening to you and we've been busy working on updates based on feedback from the community. We have already deployed a number of updates, and there will be many more to come. Stay tuned right here for all the latest and greatest."
- Multiplayer: Villa – User can clip into rock at west edge of grid zone B2 and see through to the other side (addressed on 9/5)
- Multiplayer: User can get an infinite number of 'Sam Turret', 'Care Package' and 'Sentry Gun' killstreaks (referred to as the "care package glitch") (addressed on 9/5)
- Multiplayer: Radar sweep when there are only 2 Players left in One in the Chamber will stop functioning if the 2 Players have multiple lives when the sweep starts (addressed on 9/9)
- Multiplayer: Crash when viewing content (films, clips, etc) in the Community & Recent Games menu (addressed on 9/9)
- Multiplayer: Users' rank and stats can get wiped under very specific conditions (addressed on 9/10)
Obviously there are a few other problems to iron out, but rest easy knowing that Treyarch is on the case.

In Windows 8 you can call someone over Skype by using a simple command in the Run dialog:
This will run the Skype and start calling the given username automatically.
Here funny things happen. Windows 8 seems to add a "/" by itself at the end of the Run dialog input string. It ends up looking like this:
This makes the call fail because Skype is trying to reach a username with that "/" at the end (slashes are not even allowed in Skype usernames!).
Is there any way to prevent this? Thanks!

Few things bring out the worst tendencies of Hollywood than the genre mash-up, as evidenced by two of last year's worst films, "Cowboys vs. Aliens" and "Battle: Los Angeles" (aka "Independence Day" filmed as part Iraq War documentary, part video game). The "movie-x-meets-movie-y" mentality seems to inspire little more than z-level creativity in the land of big budgets and small minds. And yet, somehow the British have a better track record at bringing together disparate elements into a compelling whole. One of the best British crime movies, "The Lavender Hill Mob," is also one of their best comedies. Their most famous horror movie, "The Wicker Man," is actually a trifecta of horror, crime thriller and musical. And now there's Ben Wheatley's "Kill List," which takes seemingly familiar genre elements and offsets them in ways that can be confounding, but leave an unforgettable impact. And by impact, I'm not just talking about a scene involving a tied-up librarian and a hammer.
Before we delve into that moment, some set-up: Jay (Neil Maskell) and Shel (MyAnna Buring) are an ex-military couple trying to play house in the Yorkshire suburbs. Judging by their opening screaming match they're having a rough go of it: Jay's been out of work for eight months, their savings drying up. All they can do to vent their frustrations is hold swordfights on the lawn with their son and host a rollercoaster of a dinner party with Jay's war buddy-turned-hitman Gal (Michael Smiley), leading to smashed dishes in the dining room, plans for new contract killings discussed over beers in the basement, and Gal's mysterious date carving a hex into the back of the bathroom mirror.

|Lactobacillus curvatus CECT 904 and Lactobacillus sake CECT 4808 were selected on the basis of their proteolytic activities against synthetic substrates. Further, the effects of whole cells, cell extracts, and a combination of both enzymatic sources on muscle sarcoplasmic proteins were determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography analyses. Strains of both species displayed proteinase activities on five sarcoplasmic proteins. The inoculation of whole cells caused a degradation of peptides, whereas the addition of cell extracts resulted in the generation of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic peptides. This phenomenon was remarkably more pronounced when L. curvatus was involved. Whole cells also consumed a great amount of free amino acids, while the addition of intracellular enzymes contributed to their generation. L. sake accounted for a greater release of free amino acids. In general, cell viability and also proteolytic events were promoted when cell suspensions were provided with cell extracts as an extra source of enzymes.

Angry Youth Soccer Coach Brutally Kicks Player
Youth sports in Russia are an ugly business.
Youth sports in Russia are an ugly business.
America: where the streets have no (original) names.
Steven or Stephen? Cathy or Kathy? Alan or Allen? These are just a handful of names that can be spelled differently.
The New England Patriots last-second interception to seal their Super Bowl win was a strange way for a game to end, but it's got nothing on the finish in this youth league basketball game.
The most romantic food is probably no surprise to you at all.
As dirty as you may feel watching Bill Belichick's reaction to winning the Super Bowl, you'll feel that awful watching Seahawks fans react to losing it.
If you don't have anything nice to say, log on to Twitter.
Malcolm Butler made a game-saving interception of a Russell Wilson pass at the goal line, and the New England Patriots held on to beat the Seattle Seahawks, 28-24, in Super Bowl XLIX in Glendale, Ariz. on Sunday.
Sure, you know the Seahawks and Patriots will square off in the Super Bowl, but there's plenty more of knowledge to be had when it comes to the big game.
Here's another victory in the power of social media to do good.

Denis Law[edit]
I've done a lot of work on this article and would like to get it to featured article status. I've gone through the style guidelines and made it conform to them as best I can but I'm still quite new here so I've probably missed something. Any help would be welcome, but I'd especially appreciate comments from people who either aren't British or aren't interested in football, to get an idea of how readable it is to them.
I'm going to start looking for some images to add, but if anyone knows any good sources of non-copyrighted football images, please let me know. Thanks, CTOAGN 14:43, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Some basic things that I would expect from a biography are missing, is or was he married, did he have children. I'd also like to know a bit more about his role in the 1974 World Cup. The lead should be expanded to 2 or three paragraphs to summarise the whole article. You will probably have trouble getting non-copyrighted images, you may be able to use some under the provision of fair use, if you're local a picture of the statue would be a nice addition --nixie 23:02, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Does anyone have any final suggestions before this drops off the page? I'm intending to put it into FAC as soon as I can get some images, so any opinions on whether it's ready or not would be very useful. CTOAGN 15:08, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

I believe there's some confusion in your code around the "Edit Others Posts" and the "Edit Private Posts" capabilities. Even with "Edit Others Posts" checked, my editors were unable to see the full post list — going to "All Posts" showed them only the articles they had created, and they couldn't see "Edit this entry" on any post but ones they'd created.
After some troubleshooting, I narrowed it down to the "Edit Private Posts" checkbox. If this is checked, editors seem to be able to see and edit all posts, both public and private. So something's wonky there.

Wonder how old Stephanie is, that she' s just discovered Marxism? I bet she's pretty young. (And impressionable).
Tactics for what?
There's been a lot of heated debate about "diversity of tactics," particularly since Occupy.
How many blog inches have been devoted to arguing about whether it's wrong or awesome (or varying degrees of okay in which particular circumstances) to break windows at a demonstration? How many conflicts among demonstrators have occurred between those who want to do it and those who want to prevent it from being done?
By itself, the question is useless.
Focusing on tactics misses the point. We can argue with each other for a million years whether property destruction is violence or not, whether voting is violence or not, and whether violence in the abstract is good, bad, or a necessary evil. But it is all empty debate if we avoid the main topic we should be discussing: what's it for?
Action for action's sake is a stupid waste of time and energy. Everything we do should fit into an overall plan. A tactic cannot be judged outside its context. It should be a manifestation of a political line, in harmony with a strategy that has consistency between its short-term and long-term aspects. It should serve a specific goal.
If you argue for a tactic, you should be able to explain how it gets us where we need to go. This shouldn't be vague, but worked out as a rational theory. Only with that understanding can the actual employment of that tactic, and its results, be judged as effective (or not).
What about the tactics of the oligarchs in their decades long project to gut the US Constitution and nullify The Bill of Rights? They have many minions who don't know the half of it and don't need to. When you unleash the pillagers they will do what comes naturally won't they? Like what was done to our economy in 2008. It isn't over yet.
And one of their allies is in the oval office.
You've got that correct. Only he is the nicer of the two. In that he will give us things the Republicans won't and doesn't alter the over all plan at all since such cultural things can be suppressed should they become overt.
I think Stephanie is in the business of ranting, not discussing ideas……..
And your excuse for your raves here is…..?

Marvin R. McNeese Jr. (Ph.D. 2015) Curriculum VitaeWebsite: http://mcneese.rice.edu/
Marvin's research interests include American politics, especially interest group activity across national and subnational political institutions. His dissertation focuses on the relative advantages provided to policy advocates by political venues—the institutional settings where policy decisions are made. Building on Baumgartner and Jones' punctuated equilibrium theory, he tests whether where policy is made has an independent effect on likelihood of policy adoption. Punctuated equilibrium theory suggests that a change in policy requires an advocate to move decision-making to a new venue that is most advantageous to the advocate's position. Marvin's research seeks to explain the venue choices policy advocates make, whether those choices affect policy outcomes, and whether policy consensus among advocates is necessary for advancing policy change. He tests hypotheses with a re-analysis of Baumgartner et al. (2009) Lobbying and Policy Change data set. He also collects original data on the issue of hydraulic fracturing for testing his consensus hypothesis, which involved a machine aided content analysis of 20 national and regional newspapers' coverage of hydraulic fracturing between 2008-2013. He has taught American politics courses as well as an undergraduate statistics and research design course. He also maintains an interest in Latin American politics, having researched the Afro-Brazilian Political Movement (for Civil Rights) through his Masters program at the University of Texas at Austin.

It's a punning revision of word of mouth for the digital age and refers to e-mail, texts and other forms of communication that require typing, even though much of it is undertaken on mobile devices using just the thumbs. By its nature it is both recent and to be found mainly online. Here's a rare example in print:
If you were a first-time visitor from Mars and you happened to drop into a marketing meeting somewhere in the United States, you might assume that marketing people do nothing but talk about "TGIF." That's Twitter, Google, the internet and Facebook. There's no question these four revolutionary developments have forever changed the marketing function. Word-of-mouth has now become word of finger.
Advertising Age, 9 Nov. 2009. For most people, however, TGIF still means "Thank God It's Friday".
It has probably been reinvented many times. This is the oldest I've been able to find, albeit with a rather different meaning:
The pathetic story is told of a deaf and dumb boy, that he was one day reciting to his teacher — by word of finger — the narrative about George Washington and the cherry-tree.
Andover Review, Jan. 1892.
Here's another recent example that suggests that it's becoming a buzzword in the business community:
Banks would be naive to believe that consumers do not listen to recommendations made online. "Word of finger" has replaced "word of mouth", so product recommendations and brand advocates are far more accessible.
Datamonitor, 1 Mar. 2010.

Asiana Decides Not To Sue San Francisco TV Station
Asiana Airlines has decided not sue the Oakland television station that aired the bogus names of the flight crew piloting Flight 214, a Boeing 777 that crash-landed at San Francisco International Airport earlier this month.
As we reported on Monday, the airline said it would sue the station because it damaged its reputation by inadvertently airing offensive names.
"The company said Wednesday it wouldn't file a suit after KTVU offered an official apology. The bogus names, which phonetically spelled out phrases such as "Something Wrong" and "We Too Low," were read during KTVU's noon broadcast Friday. The airline called the report 'demeaning' and said it was 'reviewing possible legal action.'"
In related news, the AP reports that a Chicago law firm said it is suing Boeing on behalf of 83 people who were on the flight.
The AP reports the suit alleges a malfunctioning auto-throttle may have caused the crash. The AP adds:
"Ribbeck Law Chartered on Monday filed a petition for discovery, which is meant to preserve evidence, in Cook County Circuit Court in Chicago, where the aircraft manufacturer is headquartered. The firm said in a news release that additional pleadings will be filed against Asiana Airlines and several component parts manufacturers in coming days.
"In addition to potential problems with the Boeing 777's auto throttle, some emergency slides reportedly opened inside the plane, injuring passengers and blocking their exit, and some passengers had to be cut out of their seatbelts with a knife, the firm contends."

Not sure what's causing this or if anyone else is having the issue. It's creating and emailing 3 to 5 backup emails. Occasionally one of the backups has a different name then the others sent at the same time. Thanks.
Not sure what's causing this or if anyone else is having the issue. It's creating and emailing 3 to 5 backup emails. Occasionally one of the backups has a different name then the others sent at the same time. Thanks.
You're right. It's a bug I have yet to be able to find. Although in most cases it can be reduced to 2 at most if you turn off database query caching.
I wonder if this has a conflict with others who were using the wp-db-backup plugin.
I disabled it to run Better WP Security (BWPS). When I received your reply I disabled the BWPS backups and went back to wp-db-backup. Now I'm receiving 5 backups each day from wp-db-backup.
I'm afraid to enable the backups in BWPS and start receiving 7 or 8 backups each day now. Ha.
Hope that helps.
Thatnks pmfox!
It has something to do with how WordPress is calling the hook I need to make it work. I'm actively looking for a solution but so far none has presented itself.
i have the same probleme ; i have receveid 35 emails with backup in 20 minutes since i have installed better-wp-security.
Thanks for help.
La Feste
lafeste, are you using database caching? Normally you should only have 1 or maybe 2 extras in the worst case. Database query caching however can cause quite a few as it doesn't allow the plugin to see that it has already run a backup.
I also have the same problem which is why I deactivated BWPS. I got more than 20 backups a day emailed to me when I had wp-dbmanager installed. Even when I deactivated wp-dbmanager, I still got the same number of backups. The reason why I like the other plugin installed too is that it can email me a backup AND send one via email.
Can this be an added feature to BWPS, that backups can be stored on the server and a copy emailed? I'm just paranoid and want 2 copies daily since a friend of mine has been hacked recently. With the current BWPS you can only choose whether your backup copy is to be stored OR emailed, correct?
@k3na29xx I'm looking at a service to send it to Dropbox, but, as it's a security plugin, I can't bring myself to save it to the same server (that could be one heck of a security hole if anything else goes wrong).
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Diplomatic relations
The relations between Slovenia and Australia and New Zealand respectively are good and friendly. Australia and New Zealand were among the first non-European countries to recognise the independent Republic of Slovenia. Their recognition came on 16 January 1992, only one day after the European Union recognised the new country. Diplomatic relations with Australia were established on 5 February 1992 and with New Zealand on 20 March 1992.

I am interested in being able to let the reader of my blog change the amount of posts on an archive page.
For example: above the list of archived posts there would be this menu:
10 per page | 50 per page | view all
I have been playing around with it today - and have made it work for my categories archives (I am eventually going to add in the other archive options - but I wanted to work it out first) :
Here is the code: At pastebin
(the template tag for archive.php is commented out at the bottom)
I have two questions - Is this a smart way to do this? Is there an easier way?
And also how would I make the options look like links (not a drop down?) I have been playing with changing them to form buttons but I think the jquery input values are a bit above my current skills.
My latest attempt :
<form id="amt-per" action="">
<input type="submit" value="20">
<input type="submit" value="50" >
<input type="submit" value="all">
<script type="text/javascript">
$("button").click(function () {
var str = $(this).text();
window.location.href = "<?php echo site_url(); ?>/<?php echo $taxy ?>/<?php echo $archivetype ?>/?a="+str;
Any insights would be appreciated!

The spirit of innovation and creativity can strike anywhere! For a while I wasn't happy with the costume design of the superhero known as TechSorcery. Drawing it with a pencil and paper only accentuated this feeling. The reason being the circular pattern on his chest. It's tricky to do and get it right, and quite time consuming. The best superhero costumes, I find, are rooted in simplicity. In fact, most of the classic superhero character costumes from Marvel Comics and DC Comics look 'spandex-like' precisely because they were easier to draw that way.
Drawing normal clothes with all the folds and creases takes a lot of time, time I feel could be better spent on other areas, like storytelling. So I came up with a new design for TechSorcery's costume on the back of an old shop receipt! See the very rough sketch below. I love it, and most of all it feels right. In the best tradition of superhero storytelling, there is a story reason for this change. It happens half-way through his origin story. Building a universe, creating a new mythology. What traits do my superhero characters have in common? A sense of adventure, and the desire to help people. The fun continues... ;)
Building a universe, creating a new mythology! When I came up with that description and catchphrase, it was to convey the limitless scope of this endeavour. To highlight the constant creativity necessary to introduce new concepts and renew amazing ideas! Born from this is the brand new superhero, Ambient. Listen to her story, and enjoy this rough sketch.
"These powers are wild! Loving them! Not only the flight ability and energy projection, but the means to duplicate myself up to fifty times over. Like some kind of multiple 3-D selfie or photocopy! All with the same powers and abilities. I can control these self made clones individually, and see through their eyes, wherever they may be. These multiples phase in and out of me at my command. I know all these things sound impossible, and I used to think that too, until I started doing the impossible. The world changed when I manifested these powers. Not least by the simultaneous appearances of terrifying monsters which I felt duty bound to deal with. Sometimes I think back to my previous shift work at my local supermarket, and realise that same team spirit would sometimes be great on these adventures. If there were other superpowered individuals out there of course..." - Athena Ambrose aka Ambient - The Multiplication Matrix!
"When I shrunk down to the size of my little finger, I was just a bit shocked. Seeing the world from that angle was both majestic and terrifying! A humbling experience. A type of sixth sense grew within me, warning me of impending danger and instinctively reacting to avoid it. The feeling of flying, with these winged constructs that I can expand and retract at will, is like I always imagined kite flying to be. I used to fly kites at my local park, and the always remember the first time, seeing it bob up and down, so high in the sky. So being able to do that myself, to soar in the skies above south London, at any size, feels awesome. The ability to project energy from my hands also came as a total surprise, and not a moment too soon! Helping people, and fighting monsters, this is my life now. I love it." - Charlotte Castanea aka Butterfly - The Winged Wonder!
"Controlling the weather. I mean, who does that?! Why me? How am I able to create this phenomenon? Don't get me wrong, I love this. When I'm soaring in the skies over London, among the clouds, and able to cause rainfall, thunder and lightning, and gale force winds among other things, it's an amazing feeling. My twin sister and I were born like this. With powers. Able to help people in certain situations where ordinary means are impossible. I'm enjoying every minute of it. Except the monsters. Creatures and beings with supernatural abilities suddenly appearing and causing havoc. Not good. That's when I go to work for a living." - Oliver Ogilvy aka Tempest - The Raging Storm!
"Running so fast that it can propel me into flight, it's a great feeling! Like a blur, a streak, a flash of light, just seen from the corner of your eye. Breaking the sound barrier repeatedly and performing miraculous feats, that's what I live for. My twin brother and I, we were born with amazing powers, but somehow can't escape the feeling that there's something more. Something missing, something about our origins that isn't complete. How were we blessed with these abilities? It's a mystery that we won't rest until resolved." - Olivia Ogilvy aka Mercury - The Living Velocity!
A rough sketch of the superhero known as Doctor Molecule. You'll notice that I'm focusing on body dynamics, the anatomy of iconic physical expression, rather than the faces at this stage. I'll add pictures of the faces later. As always, using established poses to train myself how to draw, and learn the language of my favourite superhero comic books. The mechanical pencil I'm using actually belonged to my dad, once upon a time. It's a nice instrument and really helps on this particular stage of the creative journey. You'll also see that this is the first reveal of his real name! New superheroes for a new age. Building a universe, creating a new mythology.
"So I created a Ring of Atoms, in the form of a circular disc, and use that to transport me through the air. Standing all the while. All those years of roller skating and ice skating, back in school days, really came into their own. It's all about balance. Interesting monsters and creatures revealed themselves soon after, isn't that always the way? Constant challenges to test my mettle, and help the people around me. My scientific study gave way to practical application, and real time experimentation. Superpowers. I love them." - Dr Michael Molecule aka Doctor Molecule - Master of Atoms!
"Tapping the outer shell of my new metallic body brings it home to me. Cybernetic Organism. That's what I am now, a cyborg. Complete with all my previous memories of being human, this is still a new experience for me. Senses are weirdly the same, but somehow different, enhanced. Organic metal, that was the breakthough material used. Faster, stronger, physically better, but somehow... less. My life's journey begins again to find completion. Starting with revisiting all the places that made me happy. These new powers make up for the loss though. They give me balance. I just love using them, being in the moment. The mind is a powerful thing, best used wisely." - Nabaclis Jones aka Nabaclis: The Human Internet!
"Hot and cold, good and bad, North and South, many things in this world are defined by polar opposites. Yet there are also many shades of grey. It all seemed so simple in childhood. I loved building and creating things with my hands, which lead me to an engineering path and eventually creating this suit of armour. The Celsius Suit. I still tend to simplify life, makes things a lot easier, and makes sense to me. That's why I love sightseeing in London and around the U.K. There's a pure simplicity to beautiful scenery and stunning architecture. Discovering new things is still a joy and tinkering with the suit gives me happiness. It's not often something you make enables you to be a brand new superhero. Some call me The Thermal Knight. All fun and games, until the werewolves and vampires appeared. I got this." - Steven Sunny Singh aka Celsius - The Man of Fire and Ice!
From the first Superman (Christopher Reeve) movie I loved how classical music and superheroes meshed so well together. I'm currently learning to play the violin and would love to incorporate this with my superhero storytelling in the future. That long term dream is under construction, for now though, it's all about building a universe, and creating a new mythology. Inspired by the superhero comic books that I've enjoyed for the past thirty years, and still love. This is all part of the ground work, laying the foundation of Phase Two, refreshing the creative and innovative process with immediate and tangible results. This is a rough sketch of A.G.O.S.T... ;)
"When I got these powers, I realised I could teleport anywhere, in the blink of an eye. I chose to go to the moon. Not because it was easy, but because it was hard. The energy which empowered me also protected me from the rigours of space. Quite fitting for the new A.G.O.S.T. The cosmos was revealed to me. I never even imagined life beyond our planet, much less whole ancient civilisations! Exciting, scary, and amazing." - Julie Jayanna aka A.G.O.S.T. - The Accountant General of Space and Time!
In creating all this original content for the Superhero Storytelling Engine, I keep a firm eye on what has gone before, noting what worked for me, and what didn't from the big publishers, Marvel Comics and DC Comics. Looking to go beyond origin stories for my characters and avoid tropes such as the villains having the same powers as the hero, so the reader actually cares about their fate. Also, the villain, in my humble opinion, should be slightly sympathetic and relatable. A great superhero is defined by an even greater supervillians rogues gallery, that's why, in the comics, the heroes that stand out for me are Avengers, Spider-Man, X-Men, Batman, Fantastic Four, Thor and a whole lot more. Simply because of the width and depth in their supervillian characters. This is a rough sketch of Quantum... ;)
"Space. Sometimes called the cosmic frontier. Never will I cease to be amazed at the teeming life in this vast expanse! Only the gleaming spires of my home realm of Thesuria come close. Memories of my youth bring forth visions of all manner of dangerous quests and folly. By the wonderous power of Cadros! Those were the days indeed. That restlessness and sense of adventure, that wonderlust captured me during that time. Over land, sea and air have I travelled and explored. The gaining of these powers has increased my curiosity about the cosmos. My fellow Space Celestials have a lot to discover about this galaxy." - Quantum - The Space Celestial!
Brand New Character! Meet... Ambient!! These rough sketches are exclusive to the Superhero Storytelling Engine! You won't find them posted anywhere else so keep it locked right here to get all new fresh content! Before we meet the superhero known as Ambient, I want to tell you about two comic book artists. Jack Kirby and John Buscema helped to visually build the Marvel Comics Superhero Universe into the powerhouse that it is today. Both amazing, influential artists, but with one crucial difference. Jack Kirby was a creator as well, he came up with designs for most of Marvel's classic characters that are still popular to this day. He also created characters for DC Comics that have similarly stood the test of time, particularly his Fourth World concept.
John Buscema, however, was a master craftsman. He took those creations that Jack Kirby designed and drew them like expressionist masterpieces, full of emotion and drama. Though Buscema is my all time favourite superhero comic book artist, I love what Kirby brought to the table, his prolific creations, and I seek to emulate that creative work ethic. So, with that spirit in mind, I present my latest superhero, the rough design of Ambient! She has several personal influences and you'll see the cleaned up version at a later stage. Her superpowers are still being finalised. Costume colour, iconic symbols and mask/headwear are important features for me when creating new characters. Above all, I always try to keep it, the designs, simple. Building a universe, creating a new mythology. For now, enjoy the art... ;)
These series of rough sketches are an intimate, behind the scenes, look at how I create and bring my superhero ideas to life. It's a very visual medium. In this current superhero golden age that I believe we are presently in, it's great to see so many projects going forward in comic books and film. The awesome Secret Wars epic with its quality add-on mini-series is a joy to read. Truly the cream of the crop of comic book creative talent, providing excellent writing and art. This will be expanded upon in the impending relaunch of the Marvel Comics Universe under the "All-New, All-Different" banner.
DC Comics relaunch, named DC You, also has a few quality superhero gems within its titles, including Justice League and Cyborg. On the big screen we've had Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man, and the upcoming Fantastic Four. Soon the amazing behemoth that is DC Comics' Batman V Superman will be upon us, in all it's glory, followed by Marvel's Captain America: Civil War. I mention these as they, in part, provide the inspirational, creative fuel that drives me to produce the Superhero Storytelling Engine, my own superhero world. This is a rough sketch of Green Avatar. :)
"I never thought waking up early could become a natural thing for me, but after I got these powers I can't wait to get up everyday and revel in them. The history behind these abilities and the people I've met since have been eye-opening and amazing. Stronger and faster. Doing things I never even imagined a few months ago, things I thought were impossible are now a regular occurance. As with learning all things new, practice, practice, practice is the way to go. A real confidence builder. I'm loving it." - Catherine Cai Zhi Hua aka Green Avatar - The Warrior Eternal!
These rough sketches are the new building blocks of the Superhero Storytelling Engine. Quite literally building a universe, creating a new mythology. You'll notice I'm choosing dynamic, heroic, inspiring images for these pin-ups, that's very important to me to get across the nature of these characters. They are idealistic, and although not perfect, I'm designing them to be more perfect than us. To be aspirational and part of a world where we want to spend time in, and escape to from time to time.
To provide powerful emotional experiences with the express aim to entertain. To capture that pioneering spirit of adventure, and that sense of joy and wonder. Part fantasy, part sci-fi, all awesome. Basically, a love letter to all the best bits of comic book superhero fiction I've grown to become passionate about over the years. This is a rough sketch of The Eagle. :)
"So, the other thing that I love, apart from soaring through the skies on these wings, is playing the violin. Particulary classical pieces as they really touch my heart and take me back to childhood listening to the radio. I really enjoy the sense of order and the time tested rules that form the foundation of this music. The structure between the notes is amazing, and to be honest, I've never been that good at improvisation.
The routine of daily practise making perfect really works and has been instrumental, excuse the pun, in learning these 'Eagle' superpowers. Nothing beats the feeling of hovering above the ground, with the gentle slow flapping of my wings, while playing a bit of Beethoven or a Bach violin piece." - Aaron Aston aka The Eagle - Sentinel of the Skies!
One thing I'm improving at, artwise, is the ability to correct anatomy right after the first rough sketch. I can tell if it "looks" right or if it's glaringly off point. Bad anatomy can throw you out of the illusion and fantasy of the story world/universe, in my opinion, so it's important to get it right. Writing is important too, as words add weight to the world building, mythology molding, and immersion into the story universe. Finding that right balance of art and writing for the perfect superhero storytelling mix is a never-ending quest. This is a rough sketch of StarBright. ;)
"I read once, 'I am the captain of my soul, the master of my fate." Always loved that quote. Sums me up quite nicely. Haha. It's funny how these sayings and memories pop into my head when I'm flying though the clouds. The breeze on my face, and this energy, this power, flowing through me. Seems like an age since the accident changed me, and everything turned upside down." - Heidi Harriat Hall aka StarBright - The Light Bringer!
Kicking off a new stage of learning, I'm doing rough sketches of my characters with pencil and paper. Using all the knowledge accumulated so far, I find I can produce more content for the Superhero Storytelling Engine this way. A useful method to hone the basic dynamic anatomy, rough sketches are the first step I use to draw my characters. I then fine tune and clean up the pencils, then add colours after. Again, using established poses for reference. This is a rough sketch of the superhero known as TechSorcery.
It's a lot easier using a computer, drawing tablet and pen, and Manga Studio software (though many artists use Photoshop to the same effect), but pencil and paper is the time tested method used by all the best superhero comic book artists from day one. It's so liberating. From John Byrne, to Dave Cockrum, to George Perez, to Jim Lee, to Alan Davis, to Stuart Immonen, to Ivan Reis, and the many other amazing artists, past and present, who have served to inspire me, I'm grateful to all. It's nice to learn with paper and pencil, and continue this artist tradition. Building a universe, creating a new mythology... :)
"My uncle used to say 'Beyond magic, beyond power, beyond costumes, there lies courage, and love and life!' The sum total of all my experiences to this date have brought me here. Now. These abilities deep inside of me, these superpowers, I will use for the greater good. I love this." - Glendon George Grey aka TechSorcery - New Guardian of the Old Magic!
Keeping with the organic growth of innovation and creativity on this website, the next stage is here. Digital drawing is now being followed by pencil and paper art for the first time! Pictures to follow. Exclusively on the Superhero Storytelling Engine, though I cut my artistic teeth using a Wacom Bamboo tablet and pen it's time to branch out with physical art. These will be used as roughs and later worked on with a computer to tweak as I love the richness of digital colouring. This new approach was borne out of the burning desire to produce more art and stories, and to work at pace.
Essentially, a Plan B, kick-starting the whole creative process. The goal is better time management, and to build a smarter production plan. All the best superhero comic book artists honed their craft by drawing on paper, including the late greats, Jack Kirby and John Buscema. They, along with writer Stan Lee, created and honed the Marvel Comics Universe, which is a big inspiration for my Superhero Storytelling Engine. Building a Universe, creating a New Mythology. It will be nice to see the art skills I've developed thus far on paper, and is another step to continue improving on the superhero comic book storytelling learning journey... ;)

I'm using altlr version 3.4.
First question, please see grammar:
request: 'C' DELIM source DELIM target
{ System.out.println("Hi"); }
source: ID ;
target: ID ;
fragment ALPHA: 'a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z' ;
fragment NUM: '0'..'9' ;
"source" and "target" cannot be empty. But my test shows the following:
- for input "C|n1|n2" : normal case, no problem.
- for input "C||n2" : syntax error, and "Hi" not printed. Expected. Ok
- for input "C|n1|" : syntax error, but "Hi" is printed. Not good.
I do need to set other things if "request" token is reached. But from above even for syntax error the code still reaches "request" token. Why?
Second question: how do I specify a rule for fixed length token, for example, a token of exact 10 digits?
Third question is about error handling. I override emitErrorMessage() in parser to set an error flag, but I found another emitErrorMessage() in lexer. I don't want to share the error flag between the parser and lexer objects. Can I override emitErrorMessage() in lexer to do nothing, and totally rely on the parser to report error? Or put another way, if there is an error, will the parser capture it for sure?
And if the error flag is set for one error, can the parser actually recovers and matches anther rule, so the previous error is false alarm?
Thanks for any help!
