Remember that Playboy cover Lindsay Lohan was supposed to do, the one Hugh Hefner made her reshoot? Yep, it leaked.
Somebody snagged an early copy of the Jan./Feb. 2012 copy of the legendary mag. Of course, it wasn't long before the picture spread across the Internet! Gotta love this new technology age… check out the cover below!
The issue, which isn't set to be released until Dec. 15, features a nude photo spread of Lindsay, channeling Marilyn Monroe (who isn't these days?). The cover is actually not a bad pic. The Playboy bunny chair does a great job of covering up Lindsay's goodies. As for what's inside the magazine, who knows? But the cover itself is tasteful, at least for Playboy. Lindsay looks pretty decent! Still not a huge fan of her blonde hair, though.
What do you all think of Lindsay's cover for Playboy?

Last Thursday morning, I posted on my blog:
Free guest Wi-Fi was rolled out with no formal announcement at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom park yesterday. Guests who connected to the "Disney-Guest" network and accepted Disney's terms of service were able to freely utilize the Internet using the service. While Disney has not responded to an inquiry regarding the details of the service, MousePlanet was provided with a statement that "WiFi is on scheduled [sic] to be rolled out for all of our theme parks and DTD by early 2013." Free Wi-Fi was recently rolled out at all resorts without fanfare, as well.
One thing to keep an eye on is whether Disney has actually been able to build out a network that will handle traffic from tens of thousands of guests in each park and still provide sufficient bandwidth that it's not swamped, resulting in insufficient bandwidth per user. That's likely the scenario already effecting Internet connectivity in the parks through cellular service providers. Disney will need a huge amount of bandwidth to accommodate its ultimate purposes here. If they've been able to accomplish that with this service, it could potentially reap a number of benefits for both guests and Disney:
Staying in the parks
Many guests are only able to visit Walt Disney World on the condition that they stay in touch with work or home, whether due to business requirements or family issues. With the notoriously bad cellular signal in the parks, it was difficult for guests to get to the Internet through their standard data plan, forcing those who need to stay in contact with home or work to leave the park periodically to access their email. With the Wi-Fi service in place, guests should be able to stay in touch anywhere.
Social networking/free advertising
Many people today can't live without their Internet connection. Twitter, Facebook, and other social media become a way of life, and they're used to posting pictures and comments from everywhere. As noted above, the Internet connectivity in the parks (especially Magic Kingdom) is spotty at best. To give their guests the ability to post photos and more from the parks will both increase guest satisfaction and also provide free advertising, as live-tweeting or posting photos to Facebook as you travel around the park provides many more opportunities for others to see images of the parks and to hear of magical experiences. If a cast member makes a magical memory for a social media-connected guest, you can bet that all of their Twitter followers and Facebook friends will hear about it immediately.
Those are good reasons to add free Wi-Fi, but there are really a couple of bigger reasons behind it, and they're on the way.
My Disney Experience
With the poor connectivity inside the parks, use of the Disney Mobile Magic app has been extremely difficult at times, especially for those not on Disney partner Verizon's network. Improved Internet access would make it much easier to use the app. That's important, because it'll soon be time to move up.
Word emerged a couple of days ago that a new mobile application called My Disney Experience will soon (as in possibly this month) be replacing the Mobile Magic app. The new app would supposedly include all of the current Mobile Magic functionality, plus have additional capabilities that will allow it to better integrate with Next Generation initiatives such as...
Walt Disney World ran a test of the FastPass+ system back in May. In that test, park guests selected a number of attractions in advance for which they received a set of virtual Fastpass tickets attached to a radio-frequency identification (RFID) card. They also received a list of times for which they could use the virtual Fastpass tickets. The new version will likely include smartphones and other mobile devices via the My Disney Experience app. With Disney resort room keys migrating to RFID cards (hold them up to the door, no need to insert anything) and so many packages that include tickets being sold, park passes attached to the RFID room cards will likely also be used. It's uncertain whether it would be possible for a guest to use both their room card and their smartphone to get additional Fastpass+ return times.
Shrouded kiosks resembling the RFID scanning stations used in the last test have been appearing in the Magic Kingdom. The wraps may come off of those stations at the same time that My Disney Experience brings online Fastpass+ to mobile devices.
With that, the Disney Next Generation experience will be one step closer to allowing you to make Fastpass reservations for your entire trip before you leave your house.
What do you think? Will the Next Gen Fastpass+ reservations system be a valuable tool for helping to plan out and schedule your Walt Disney World visit, or will it be another step toward removing spontaneity and fun from your trip? Good, bad, or both? Do you like the idea of improved Wi-Fi connectivity in the parks, or would you prefer to be disconnected while enjoying your Disney experience? Voice your opinion in the comments below.
Since then, we've heard varying reports on the available connection speed, from sub-3G speeds up to about 3 Mbps. Considering the potential number of devices that might be connected from the tens of thousands of visitors, it could be a whole lot worse. In either case, for those who had difficulty getting any data signal in the park, any speed will be an improvement.

Last Thursday, Disney released My Disney Experience to the iTunes App Store for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. The application, which is still in "sneak peek" status, is eventually replacing the Disney Mobile Magic app, at least for Walt Disney World. At this time, there is no word on a separate app or upgrade to My Disney Experience for the Disneyland Resort, which may remain with Disney Mobile Magic. An Android version of the app is due out later this month.
My Disney Experience provides similar functionality to Disney Mobile Magic, plus some very useful add-ons. Guests can now see the actual wait times for attractions, as well as the return time for Fastpass tickets currently being dispensed. However, in order to see those times, guests will need to log in with their disney.com user ID. They will also need that user ID in order to make or cancel dining reservations.

The second and third home screens show a times guide and the day's park hours. Image © Disney.
With the addition of free Wi-Fi last week and the rumored upcoming trial of the next version of Fastpass+, the new application certainly appears to be set up for it. The display format of the wait time and Fastpass availability information certainly lends the appearance of having the ability to allow guests to remotely obtain Fastpass tickets and to display them upon approaching the attraction queue. We may get a chance to find out soon, as it is rumored that the next round of Fastpass+ testing will take place August 14 through 20.
Attraction pages could very easily turn the Fast Pass Return area into a button to obtain a Fastpass. Image © Disney.
The app can display information on attractions, character greetings, dining, entertainment, guest services, recreation, shopping, and more. All information can be sorted by name and location, and some have additional sort possibilities. Attractions can be sorted by wait time, characters and entertainment can be sorted by schedule, and dining can be sorted by hours. Not all character greetings are listed under characters, however; some are in the entertainment listings. Attraction wait time sorting is grouped into no wait (0 min), short wait times (5-30 min), moderate wait times (35-60 min), and long wait times (65 minutes plus), as well as "open throughout the day."
Restaurant pages include information about the eatery and the ability to make a reservation at table-service locations. Image © Disney.
While guest services can be sorted by name and location, the sorting is not currently the best. Since the services are listed by location name instead of service type—"Aloha Isle Smoking Area" instead of "Smoking Area – Aloha Isle"—locations like smoking areas, AEDs, picture spots, and accessible parade viewing are all mixed together, making it difficult to review all AED locations to find the closest one.
The full times guide mixes entertainment, character greetings, and attraction wait times. Image © Disney.
All in all, the app looks good for a "sneak peek," though there are rough spots that need to be cleaned up. Since guests can link the app to their Disney.com user ID, it would certainly be helpful to be able to bring up hotel and dining information associated with their account from within the app. While the app will eventually replace Mobile Magic, there's still plenty of time to fix the trouble spots before that happens.
Park maps are nicely detailed and let users zoom in on whatever location they wish. Image © Disney.

20 of the worst Oscar winners in history
Tom Huddleston sorts the least deserving Academy Award winners
It's Oscar season once again – and while Academy members scratch their heads trying to decide which of this year's crop of worthy titles deserves to take home the big prize, we trawl the archives to uncover the worst Oscar offences of all time. From the film that beat 'Citizen Kane' to Best Picture to the time 'Harry and the Hendersons' walked away with a handful of gold, here are all the Academy's biggest blunders in one handy list.
This is by no means a definitive rundown of all of Oscar's shoddy decisions – we didn't even have room to mention Celine Dion or 'Chicago' – so if you really, really hate 'Titanic' or really, really love 'Forrest Gump', tell us about it in the comments box below.
7. 'Une Homme et une Femme' (1966)
Best Foreign Language Film, 39th Academy Awards, 1966
It may have looked slick, exciting and frightfully modern at the time, but Claude Lelouch's paper-thin romantic romp now seems trite, dated and disgustingly self-satisfied – as relentlessly annoying as its twittering oh-so-French theme song.
It could've been: 'The Battle of Algiers', 'Loves of a Blonde'.

Franklin County Chamber Alliance Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake and Malone Chambers of Commerce, Franklin Countys largest business organization The Franklin County Chamber Alliance is proud that as a result of our historic first time alliance between local Chambers, and our three year educational and political outreach effort has resulted in the passage, by the Franklin County Legislature of legislation that enables this county to leverage significant investment capital that will be overseen by a private sector board for the purpose of marketing this regions greatest asset, tourism. This legislation will result in a savings to local taxpayers and the opportunity to generate increased sales tax revenue, retail sales and employment opportunities and will help energize one of the economic drivers identified by the North Country Regional Economic Development Council. The FCCA thanks the County legislature and the leadership of Chairman Billy Jones for the exhaustive research and study they devoted to this matter as well as the six public hearings held, in what has been one of the most public and transparent processes ever devoted to a single piece of legislation. We also extend our thanks to the advisory committee of private citizens who devoted countless hours of their time and expertise to craft this outstanding legislation, and to the North Country Regional Economic Development Council for their affirmation and support. Franklin County has taken a great stride today in investing in our future prosperity and the Franklin County Chamber Alliance is looking forward to assisting and supporting other opportunities going forward.

Hi.......i would like to start a new business. And I so happy to get such a lovely feedback from your side. Thanks!!!!! Posted 31/08/10 - 22:18 by MichaelseBiz
Good article but...!
This article is very well-written but it says in the beginning that, "Usually, there are three common types of businesses: Sole Proprietorship, Partnership and Corporation." but I believe it leaves out a very prominent business type: I'm talking about an Independent Distributorship...
If you would like to learn more about what it would mean for you to do this type of business, you can visit *** no links *** to learn more...

hello everybody ............ Posted 9/03/10 - 07:16 by JohnTaverner
I am business student and i know that step by step progress will lead to you on touch the sky. All these information about sole proeritership, partnership, and corporation is good. I know advantages and disadvantages of all type of business. Posted 28/01/10 - 05:19 by OLCDSarah
One must also consider the annual costs in time and money to maintain the entity... The costs of a Corporation or LLC can be considerable... For instance to maintain a California LLC in Good Standing one must pay a income tax based on a percentage of SALES!!! |

New York Times correspondents around the nation surveyed the activity in swing states a day before the election, and what they found was a frenzied push to the very end to coax voters to the polls. Many had already cast their ballots, but the bulk of the votes are expected Tuesday. And for some, Election Day will be even more significant, the start of a new life: from the Romney volunteer who moved with his wife from Texas to help the campaign's cause in Ohio, to the political junkie who makes his living selling memorabilia in battleground states during election years
MIAMI — "Mamita, tenemos una conga outside!" someone shouted. "We have a conga outside!"
It was voting Miami style. On a final, unexpected day of voting in Miami-Dade County, Obama supporters swayed in a conga line, with an actual conga drum at the front, all in the hopes of keeping voters waiting in yet another five-hour line excited. As the sun pounded voters, they gulped water, ate pizza, unfolded chairs and opened umbrellas, courtesy of the Obama campaign.
It was obvious why. Most voters waiting here sported Obama stickers. Some voters grumbled about the persistently long lines around the county. After a federal lawsuit was filed by Florida Democrats, six counties agreed to let voters fill out and drop off absentee ballots in person on Monday and Tuesday.
"I've been calling places for the last couple of days, but the wait time had been too long," said Gabriela Reyes, 19, a student who works part time. "It's time-consuming. It has made it really hard for people to come out and vote."
Nearby, Tania Mancia, 47, looked at her watch. She had one hour left before work beckoned. "There is always tomorrow," she said with a sigh.
DUBLIN, Ohio — The parking lot at the Romney-Ryan state headquarters here in a suburban office park would be a bonanza for a minivan full of kids playing the license plate game.
Lots of Ohio, of course. Then the neighbors: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Then a bit farther afield: Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
Then there is a tan Chevy Tahoe with Texas plates, belonging to John and Cheri Gilbert, a pair of soft-spoken believers in the Romney cause from the Houston area. "Our country recruited us," said Mr. Gilbert, 67, a semiretired engineer.
Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert, by their count, have knocked on 4,000 doors and made more than 1,000 calls on behalf of the Republican ticket. Mr. Gilbert said he and his wife had never been involved in a presidential campaign.
President Obama lost them when he pushed health care through Congress without a single Republican vote, and when, in their view, he traveled abroad and "apologized for who we are."
The Gilberts said that on Wednesday, win or lose, they would pack up and return to Texas. "But the fight is not over," said Mrs. Gilbert, 66. "We are going to be watching Congress, the Senate and whoever is president and vice president and hold their feet to the fire."
MILWAUKEE — Forget hanging chads and contested ballots. In Wisconsin, some election officials are worried about fistfights.
Law enforcement agents here are being trained on mediating disputes at the polls.
In Milwaukee, lawyers from the district attorney's office will be on call if tensions get out of hand. Bickering has already broken out at the clerk's office in Sun Prairie, a small city outside Madison, where voters argued as they waited in line to cast absentee ballots.
Still reeling from a divisive recall fight this year, Wisconsinites are voting in a tinderbox atmosphere, stoked by a near-constant stream of attack ads. City clerks are bracing for a combustible combination of aggressive poll watchers and partisan voters. "We have to anticipate the worst," said Neil V. Albrecht, the executive director of Milwaukee's election commission. "This is a very politically polarized state right now, and an electrically charged climate when it comes to issues like voter fraud and voter disenfranchisement."
Some voters are yearning for the finish line. Mary Markwiese, 59, a legal assistant, said the end of the campaign would be a relief. "It's like watching the Packers in the Super Bowl," said Ms. Markwiese, who supports Mitt Romney. "You're just too nervous about it."
DENVER — Early voting is over in Colorado. The first completed ballots have already been scanned into computers. The candidates have all departed, making their last hoarse, passionate pushes for Colorado's nine electoral votes before flying east.
So for the army of election workers and county clerks across Colorado, Monday was the eye of the storm. As the campaigns papered neighborhoods with door tags reminding people to vote, election workers answered phone calls and sorted through mail-in ballots. They ran last-minute training seminars for election judges and made sure the voting machines were working. They marshaled their staff and braced for a frenzied day that would begin at 6 a.m. sharp and might well last until past midnight.
The night before would be a restless one.
"It's hard not having nightmares," Gilbert Ortiz, the Pueblo County clerk, said in a telephone interview. "My wife is complaining to me that I'm giving speeches in my sleep about ballots."
Mr. Ortiz was subsisting on Power Bars, coffee and pot roast his mother brought him for lunch. Other clerks had similar arsenals lined up for Tuesday.
"Coffee and Dr Pepper," said Terri Carver, an election official in Alamosa County. "We just take one minute at a time, and keep smiling."
DES MOINES — Most political junkies get their election fix from the comfort of their homes, where they watch pundits on cable television or scour the latest polls online.
But Jeff Reul needs to be closer to the action. So, for the past two presidential election cycles he has hopscotched swing states, hawking political pins and T-shirts from parking lots outside rallies to support his travels.
As he stood in the cold outside a rally for Representative Paul D. Ryan here on Monday afternoon, it was easy to see from his pins where he stood politically. There were the pins that said: "I'LL TAKE THE MORMON OVER THE MORON." Others said "Don't Tax Me Bro!" or "Hot Chicks Dig Ryan," and "GIVE ME LIBERTY NOT DEBT."
"It's the best road trip you can take," Mr. Reul said. "I can say I was there for history."
Mr. Reul said that he had shaken hands with both Mitt Romney and Mr. Ryan, and sold buttons to celebrity politicians.
When asked what he planned to do after the election on Tuesday, Mr. Reul, a dietitian from Columbia, Mo., said: "Just go back to my boring life."
ARLINGTON, Va. — Elaine Dawes has had pretty good luck calling people on President Obama's behalf over the past month.
"Usually I get the enthusiastic people," Ms. Dawes, 72, said Monday as she stood next to a power outlet clogged with charging cellphones.
In a storefront humming with activity two miles from the Pentagon, 20 volunteers dotted the room, many leaning forward in their folding chairs as they made last-minute calls.
"This is your neighbor in Arlington," one volunteer said into a cellphone, sitting near a banner tracing progress toward their goal of knocking on 142,000 doors. As of Monday afternoon, the banner put them at just over 106,000.
Gabriel Thoumi, 41, estimated that they had seen about 30 percent more people coming in to volunteer on Monday compared with last week. He said volunteers were focused on encouraging people not only to vote, but also to decide ahead of time when to vote and how they would get to the polls.
"Their voice is as important as anybody else in this country, and it's absolutely critical that everybody gets to vote, whoever they are," he said. "Republican, Green, Libertarian, Democrat, it doesn't matter. That's the beauty of our country."
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Hours before Mitt Romney visited here on Monday, two of his sons, Tagg and Ben, traveled through the state visiting Romney "victory" offices and encouraging voters to get to the polls.
It is familiar turf for the family: they have a summer home in New Hampshire, and throughout the grueling race they would get together on Lake Winnipesaukee for breaks from the campaign trail.
But the state has not always been kind to Mr. Romney. In 2008, Senator John McCain won the presidential primary here, reviving his once moribund candidacy. But this campaign cycle, Mr. Romney won the primary decisively, and he hopes to repeat that success on Tuesday.
Both President Obama and Mr. Romney have rolled out their top surrogates across the state and have enlisted armies of volunteers to canvass and host get-out-the-vote efforts.
In the battle of signs, the Romney-Ryan ticket dominated Granite Avenue, a main stretch in downtown Manchester.
Ricardo Rodriguez, 42, a delivery man for a florist and an Obama volunteer, was undeterred.
"I'm not a political person," he said on a cold Manchester night as snow began to fall. "But listening to Mitt Romney's ideas about where he wants to take the country, it just sounds scary."
LAS VEGAS — With the advantage apparently going to President Obama in early voting in Nevada, Mitt Romney's campaign has imported a 600-member volunteer army from nearby states. The group gathered on Monday morning at the Las Vegas offices of Brady Industries, a facility supply distributor.
One volunteer was Lisa Vander, 50, of San Diego, who said she was unemployed despite an "incredible" résumé and blamed the current economy. "It's really about jobs, jobs, jobs," said Ms. Vander, who added that she believed Mr. Romney would do more for the economy.
But the Obama campaign was also working to secure every remaining vote. At a senior housing complex named after Senator Harry Reid in downtown Las Vegas, Betty Barfield, 74, a volunteer coordinator for the Obama campaign, was sitting outside in her wheelchair. Half the residents of the complex of 100 apartments had voted early, Ms. Barfield said. She had arranged two buses to come take the remaining ones to polls on Tuesday. Almost all of them will vote for Mr. Obama, she said.
"It's really been a joy and a privilege for me," said Ms. Barfield, a minister who is African-American. "I never thought I would see this and it would happen in my lifetime. I thank God for letting me live long enough."
A year and a half ago, a Minnesota Star-Tribune poll found that 80 percent of the state favored a law requiring official photo identification to vote.
So when the Democratic governor vetoed the Republican-driven voter ID bill at the time, the issue was placed on a ballot as a referendum to make it a constitutional amendment, and it seemed likely to pass. The vote is Tuesday, Election Day, but the latest polls show the tide turning against it.
Over the weekend, a KSTP poll found voters tied 48 percent to 48 percent and a Public Policy poll found the initiative losing 51 percent to 46 percent.
Dan McGrath, executive director of TakeAction Minnesota, which opposes the amendment because of concerns it will reduce voting by the poor and minority group members, says his group has spoken with 300,000 Minnesotans in efforts to defeat the measure, about 10 percent of the state's voters.
The initiative, which states in part, "All voters voting in person must present valid government-issued photographic identification before receiving a ballot," would, if passed, make Minnesota only the second state in the country, after Mississippi, with a constitutional amendment on voter ID. It seems also likely to make it among the most stringent voter ID requirements in the country. Mississippi's law is in abeyance as the Justice Department decides whether it is racially discriminatory, given the state's history. The amendments are part of a wave of laws driven by Republican legislatures that say they aim to preserve the integrity of the electoral process and stop voter fraud. Democrats call the laws voter suppression, saying they make it harder for inner city and minority voters. A number of the laws have been stopped by courts for this election but are expected to be enacted in the coming year or two.
If the Minnesota ballot passes, the legislature will have to flesh out the details of what would be a legitimate form of ID and where and how it would be obtained starting next year.

More About Broadway and Fatale
27 comments:

Was the part of Jim Shooter played by Tommy Lee Jones in that first photo?

- Hunter said...
Cool! Broadway was "my" Jim Shooter publisher, since I came to late to US comics to get early Valiants and, for some reason, Defiant never made it to Brazil, where I lived.
Couldn't get all Broadways either (never got a single issue of Knights on Broadway, for example), but Star Seed and Fatale were easier to come by and I have even the Fatale TPB!
I really liked the characters and missed them terribly when they vanished. - January 2, 2012 at 12:14 PM
- Nick Ahlhelm said...
Broadway was the company whose comics I wanted to read but could never find. A year later, I had a comic pull list and it wouldn't have been a problem, but by then they were already gone.
That being said, I'm putting a nice little collection together in back issues. - January 2, 2012 at 12:33 PM
Bought pretty much each issue of all that Broadway produced. I had to go through several buy points, and I had a pull list at two stores and a couple issues/titles I recall having to really 'hunt' down, but all in all, I enjoyed the run Broadway had. ORCA kicked a few dozen out here and there also.
- January 2, 2012 at 1:42 PM
- Chris said...
I missed out on Defiant and Broadway when they came out. I'll have to get up to speed. A quick online backissue search shows that while the collected edition might be pricey, individual issues of "Fatale" are really easy to come by. The cover of #3 looks like Fatale was channeling Phantom Lady.
- January 2, 2012 at 4:09 PM
My least favorite Shooter enterprise. I tried to like these books, but simply couldn't connect with them. Artistically I felt Broadway had the least punch.
But it was easy to see they were trying to make good comics, so I bought them. All but Fatale. Can't abide "babe" books. If saw them all as softcore pornography and nothing more. - January 2, 2012 at 4:17 PM

Dear Jim,
I would love to see more articles in the same format as this one covering all the other series you've created. I'd be especially interested to read the story behind Star Seed followed by Star Brand.
I assume you had more free time during your Broadway period than during your VALIANT period because you were able to play basketball.
I had assumed that Broadway's "unorthodox package," as you put it, was devised by your team. I generally liked the format.
My only offhand objection is the treatment of the titles on the cover. The "Broadway Comics" logo is larger than the title, giving the impression that the comics were titled Broadway Comics. Repeating the title in small print doesn't have the impact of large titles like Time or Newsweek ... or the Fatale and Star Seed logos that appeared later on.
My favorite aspect of the Broadway format was Newsfront. I'm glad you highlighted it and Harry Broertjes (whose writing styles were spot on) in this post.
I've been wondering for years who the guy on the TV in Fatale was. Now I know!
How far did you plan Fatale? And how many unpublished issues were there? I'm wondering how she could balance wearing a "crown of thorns" while being a woman of action. It's a problem that other ruler-heroes like Namor and Black Panther have faced. How would Broadway have handled it differently?
"Fatale on TV"? Never thunk it, but I should have expected it. After all, you were funded by Broadway Video Entertainment ... - January 2, 2012 at 4:39 PM
- Van GoghX said...
I'd love to hear more about Star Brand as well, but I love anything you throw our way. I'm sure you'll get to it when you get to it.
I have a question about your days at Marvel:
You guys had a softball team and used to play DC comics, back in the day. Apparently, this no longer happens. Was this kind of company interaction and frolicking a good thing, and do you think it hurts both companies that they don't get out and "play" with each other more?
Any stories about those softball games? - January 2, 2012 at 4:54 PM
- gn6196 said...
Of all the Shooter companies, Broadway was the best. I have all the books except for one of #2 of Shadow State. I love that each book had lots of story and events in each issue. You had big plans for Knights on Broadway which were never realized. Bummer.
- January 2, 2012 at 6:00 PM
- Defiant1 said...
I own the original art for those two pages from the unpublished Fatale #0.
- January 2, 2012 at 6:03 PM
It seems clear to me from the comments that people want to hear what your plans for Star Brand were (myself included). Hint, hint! :)
t.k. - January 2, 2012 at 6:08 PM
[MikeAnon:] I've said this before, but I didn't care much for the 2nd-gen layout and title formats. Two things that I didn't like:
1) Dropped the border. Please note: It is NOT a bad thing for a reader to see something that instantly makes him/her say, "Oh! That's a Broadway comic!" Dropping the distinctive border visually made these books recede into the herd, especially with the Broadway logo scaled down and pushed to the side. (Yes, logos matter, too, especially if your titles share a universe.)
2) Spraypaint titles. Two words: Seriously. Ghetto. Like, embarassed-to-buy-this ghetto. And Fatale needs to have a decisively capital-F logo if it's going to be considered a capital-F book. I don't know how pre-internet Broadway Comics was, but today we all know that capital letters add volume, and what we have with the "fatale" logo is a whisper, not a shout. Even Star Seed isn't a shout because the spraypaint look softens the mental "sound" -- and did I mention it's ghetto? I mean that misshapen grafitti star is all kinds of sad. It basically gives you that "poor work ethic, dammit we can't have nice things" feeling. I mean, it's been a long time since I read the book, so if "alien thug in the hood" is what the book was about, fine, it fits, but I really don't remember that being the case. [--MikeAnon] - January 2, 2012 at 6:25 PM
"I have all the books except for one of #2 of Shadow State."
[MikeAnon:] Both versions of Shadow State #2 can be had for around a buck plus shipping from Lone Star Comics.
[--MikeAnon] - January 2, 2012 at 6:30 PM
[MikeAnon:] From what I recall, I liked STAR SEED because the character was totally selfless and made a really good example of a hero, the kind I think Steve Ditko would have been happy to draw. TILL DEATH DO US PART I enjoyed for its poking fun at Liefield-esque body styles. KNIGHTS OVER BROADWAY threatened to be the best book of the line, and I was really sorry to see it go down in the middle of the 1st arc.
FATALE never grew on me, though -- maybe it was the lack of flashy outfits to anchor the title in my mind, but I think it was more that the big boobs got to seem like all gimmick after a while. I mean, sure, it's not like she's going to get rid of them -- (can you imagine if her boobs got bigger or smaller depending on the amount of power she was storing?) -- but...it's kinda like having a one-armed fat guy in the WARRIORS OF PLASM cast. Yes, there are huge-boobed women and one-armed fat guys in the world, but is this who you're going to make me look at issue after issue after issue? Plus, who's her arch-enemy going to be? "Flatchest"? I mean there's something about putting those humongous mammaries on the cover over and over again that practically begs the prospective reader to think this is a throwaway gimmick book. It honestly might have been a better choice to dial down the boobs to something a little less OMG.
And, last but not least, I found the BABES OF BROADWAY books just offensive as hell. (I wonder if I still have my copy?) It was one part parody, one part sellout, and one part creepy (thanks to the inclusion of the little girl from K-OVER-B as a "Babe"). And it had the nerve not to feature artists that actually would have made a swimsuit calendar of the female Broadway characters something worth flipping through. That book just soured me on the whole line for the sheer crassness of it. Maybe it was meant to be a fun parody of then-current trends, but it rang a hollow note with me. [MikeAnon:] - January 2, 2012 at 6:47 PM
- gn6196 said...
Thanks MikeAnon, I have S.S #2 in a black and white version. I'll pick up the regular version in a con one day.I also have the Babes on Broadway book and it was good if not just for info on characters forthcoming from the Knights book.

It's a problem that other ruler-heroes like Namor and Black Panther have faced. How would Broadway have handled it differently?"
We had another Fatale arc planned, plus the #0, so that would be six or seven issues. We would have tried to treat her position of worldwide influence credibly and realistically -- but we planned to get her out of the ruling-the-world situation quickly. - January 3, 2012 at 1:27 AM

Dear Van,

Any stories about those softball games?"
Marvel played in a publishers league. DC formed their team just to play us. I have many stories. I'll confine them to weekends, since several people have expressed objections to posts not directly comics related.
People from Marvel, DC, Archie, Warren and other miscellaneous comics types used to play volleyball in Central Park after work on nice days. That was great. They were a good thing for the whole industry. Many stories. That was when Marvel was at 575 Mad Ave and DC was at 666 Fifth, both near the park and each other. When Marvel moved downtown, the volleyball games pretty much faded away.
The softball games were not a good thing. Too much sturm und drang. I'll tell you later. - January 3, 2012 at 1:31 AM

Wow...fanboys really can whine about anything when they can moan about big jugs on a cartoon lady.
I've really seen it all now.
Thanks for that, actually.

- Diacanu said...
90's...yeah...I was oblivious to the existence of Defiant and Broadway I think.
All we had out here in the sticks in those days were the pharmacy spinner racks, and they didn't carry those.
So...this is like lost-history Dead Sea Scrolls stuff to me. - January 3, 2012 at 11:24 AM

Re. non-comics related material...
Really enjoyed the material about the basketball game (despite hating the sport itself - like Norman Mailer said about the game, "every ten seconds eight idiots jump in the air." Of course Mailer had his character J. Edgar Hoover speak these words, so it was probably more to establish racist tendencies in Hoover than any knock on the hoop game.) and would love love to read some anecdotes about the softball games. I would never object to any post here, on any topic, comics related or not, it's all manna from heaven. Some of the most engrossing material I've read here has not been comics related. Thinking back to the Bullpen Bulletins, I seem to remember Robbie Carosella, knocking the ball out of the park to win all the softball games.
Elsewhere on this site, I think the posts about Rom, we've been directed to a remarkable piece of writing by Mike Netzer about an ill-fated volleyball game in Central Park. Initially, and true to form, Jim Shooter is depicted as the villain of the piece, but emerges at the end as the hero. There is also Netzer's amazing portrait of Shooter, that can only be described as a hagiography in pen and ink. I do hope we'll get to read some of those sporting anecdotes.
Sorry about that irrelevant crap about Mailer and basketball. - January 3, 2012 at 12:02 PM
I can't wait to hear what Jim has to about big bad Ivan (and the rest of the family, maybe?). Assuming I have the right Snyder in mind.
- January 5, 2012 at 9:24 PM
I remember Fatale well. I specifically remember a panel where she is jumping down from a building holding her breasts. (Not sure what issue after all these years.) The image struck me as unusual at the time. As I later learned from a girlfriend with a large chest -- that participated in vigorous sports -- it can be painful for your chest to constantly be bouncing up and down. Totally makes sense. I thought if this much effort and thought is put into this panel I can be assured every scene/panel is equally treated. I was impressed. I thoroughly enjoyed Broadway's offerings. Thoroughly enjoying your blog, Mr. Shooter. If you run across any notes regarding the process of creating the character Glimmer in Dark Dominion and his use of the quantum field I would love to hear/read them in your blog.

[MikeAnon:] One last question about the Broadway covers: What was the deal with the lack of background image in favor of putting a foreground image on a stark white field? On one hand, it's an interesting stylistic choice and the look certainly was distinctive, and since the foreground images were generally lifted from the interiors no one can complain you weren't showing what was in the book (always a pet peeve of mine), but these covers always left me disappointed because they were so information-poor -- they made the covers seem to me like tic-tacs to be gulped rather than meals to be savored. I would think that you'd prefer to put images on the cover that the reader would contemplate for a while and wouldn't just absorb in a heartbeat and say "Yay" or "Meh" over before moving on to consider the next book. Was this a stylistic choice you favored, or would you have preferred to go the more traditional route (as with Valiant and Defiant)? [--MikeAnon]

RE: "One last question about the Broadway covers...."
If it had been entirely up to me, I would have done a lot of things differently at Broadway Comics. Broadway Video Entertainment was the general partner and sometimes bosses there called the tune. At first, at their insistence, an outside design firm designed our cover look and interior presentation. Once I managed to get rid of that, the BVE house design director, a guy named Tony weighed in. The stark white BG's did make our books stand out on the racks, but posed other problems.
Another example of BVE dictates: Once, BVE President Eric Ellenbogen told me he didn't like our intros and text pieces. He recommended Paper Magazine, Raygun and a few others as examples of the trendy styles he preferred. He told me to hire someone who could write like that. I checked out the magazines and started writing my intros and editorial pieces in PaperMag style. Eric was impressed. He asked me where I found such a good writer. Ha. You want Steinbeck? J.K. Rowling? Mr. Mickey? I can ghost anybody. : ) - January 7, 2012 at 4:12 AM

… this formed the paradox at the heart of baseball, or football, or any other sport. You loved it because you considered it an art: an apparently pointless affair, undertaken by people with a special aptitude, which sidestepped attempts to paraphrase its value yet somehow seemed to communicate something true or even crucial about The Human Condition. The Human Condition being, basically, that we're alive and have access to beauty, can even erratically create it, but will someday be dead and will not …

"The same goes for my favorite sports books. You can't learn how to write unless you're constantly reading, just like you can't learn how to play music unless you listen to hundreds of different albums, or you can't learn to speak a second language unless you actually go to a foreign country and practice it. For whatever reason, many aspiring sportswriters either don't understand this, or they dismiss it altogether. In fact, I've had conversations at bars with younger people who have approached me, asked me for advice, and when I ask them what their favorite sports books are, they give me the Peyton Manning Face. I'm always astonished by this. How can you aspire to become a sportswriter without reading as many different styles and perspectives as you can?" -Bill Simmons "Best Sports Book Series", 3/30/2006

WASHINGTON -- Mitt Romney raised more than $85.9 million in the last two weeks of the presidential race, his campaign announced Thursday, detailing the GOP hopeful's final money push in his ultimately unsuccessful bid against President Obama.
"Romney Victory continued its strong fundraising through the final weeks of the campaign," finance chairman Spencer Zwick said in a statement. "Every dollar we raised was put to use in the effort to elect Mitt Romney. I want to thank all of our donors for their support and in making the Romney fundraising effort the most successful in Republican Party history."
More details on the campaign's late fundraising and spending are expected later Thursday, as finance reports are due to the Federal Election Commission. The reports cover Oct. 18 though Nov. 26.
PHOTOS: Mitt Romney's controversial campaign quotes
The Obama campaign has not yet released its final tally for the final weeks. Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee between the campaign and the Democratic National Committee, reported raising $47 million, but the take of the campaign's primary account is not yet public. The nearly $86-million haul for Team Romney marks the combined fundraising of the Romney campaign and the Republican National Committee.
The campaign still had $24.4 million in the bank as of Nov. 26. The Romney campaign, in a statement, noted that the cash-on-hand figure did not account for spending that was still in process as the campaign wound down. The campaign predicted the final cash surplus would be less than $1 million.
It was a lucrative end to the campaign for Romney's unaffiliated backers as well. Restore Our Future, the "super PAC" founded by former Romney aides, scooped up $22.1 million in the same period, according to its FEC filing.
Nearly half of that came from Las Vegas casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and his wife, Miriam, who donated $5 million apiece. In all, the Adelsons gave $30 million to the pro-Romney group during the election. They poured tens of millions more to a lengthy roster of conservative super PACs and nonprofits — a cascade of money that made the couple this cycle's most high-profile GOP donors.
Restore Our Future also netted 11th-hour checks from Lawrence Ellison, the chief executive of Oracle Corp., who gave $3 million to the group in October: $2 million on Oct. 19, and an additional $1 million five days later. The checks were by far the biggest bet on a federal election by Ellison, according to FEC records. Until then, he had given about $300,000 total since 1997, split between Democrats and Republicans.
Other $1-million checks came from Robert McNair, owner of the Houston Texans, and the Renco Group, an investment firm owned by the billionare Ira Rennert. Bob Barker, former host of "The Price is Right" game show, gave $174,200.
The money helped underwrite a closing ad blitz for the group, which spent $41.6 million on television, online and direct mail advertising opposing Obama in the final weeks of the campaign. In all, the super PAC spent $153 million in its attempt to boost Romney's candidacy.

We are in love with paper flowers of any sort. These crepe paper flowers are so perfectly lovely. They are so versatile and can be used in so many different ways, and the best part...they don't wilt! These are so easy to make you won't believe it! We can not wait to show you how we used them! All you need is crepe paper and hot glue...we layered the crepe paper with two colors to add some depth. The length of crepe paper you need just depends on how big you want your flowers to be. After you have both colors of crepe paper cut and layered just accordion fold them. Then just take your crepe paper and start to wrap it around and start forming your flower. Then just put a dab of hot glue at the bottom every couple of inches, just to hold the flower in place.You can start to pull the top back a little to open the flower up as you go as well. After you have completely wrapped with flower around you can form it to be as open or closed as you want it. So simple and so pretty aren't they! The color combinations are endless as are the possibilities of how you can use them!

Mine ended up much tighter. Also at the end I put hot glue down in the middle and squeezed the 'stem' tight and held until it dried mostly. This made the bottom secure and I fill an apothecary jar with them :D Cute.
