i got half way through then it stopped to my occurance got a drink and carried on watching it
The problems you are all having don't seem to be happening to everyone so can it be the area you live in or your own broadband ? I occasionally experience a bit of juddering and once or twice it might stop but when I click on- II pause II the play arrow comes up and it starts again at where it left off, but that's only very occasionally. Can you video it or maybe video the Saturday Omnibus whole weeks episodes or watch it on you tube ? Don't forget it will be off our screens for 5 weeks from July 27th. ;0(
I agree, almost every night now I have problems accessing this program. I usually manage to get it in the end, but only after anything up to half an hour of fiddling around & sending "report a problem" messages. As I mentioned last night, for each "retry" you have to sit through yet another 114 seconds of adverts - which miraculously play from beginning to end without incident...Why can't this problem be addressed???
Once again unable to catch up with latest episode of Home & Away this is becomong a regular occurrence and is extremely annoying. Whats the point of having a catch up service if it can't be accessed. The powers that control this seem to disregard all our comments as the problem is not being addressed
I am unable to watch today's episode. I got half-way through, then it suddenly said "Today's episode is currently unavailable". Very disapponting!!

Is this a glitch, or was Pokemaster forgetful enough to add the location of ALL THE POKEMON for BW2? pokemondb error asked Oct 15, 2012 by Mega Grievous retagged Dec 23, 2012 It is not a glitch and he is not being forgetful.

Thanks :) Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 0 votes Actually, most Pokemon do have locations, for example Mienfoo, Golduck, etc. Basically anything that appears in grass or on water. However, some Pokemon are missing, in particular ones you can only get by evolution (e.g. Gigalith) and several of the legendary Pokemon. This is true for all games, not just BW2, and will be fixed when I can. If you notice anyone missing from the actual locations page (the pages from here), you can check the Locations guide corrections post and submit a correction, it will be much appreciated. answered Oct 16, 2012 by Pokemaster Sorry if the question was a little rude, I was in a bad mood. :P Please log in or register to add a comment.

Why is everyone dropping their tablet development? I thought we were going to be buried in new tablet hardware this year.
Microsoft Cancels Innovative Courier Tablet Project [gizmodo.com]
According to sources familiar with the matter, Microsoft has cancelled Courier, the folding, two-screen prototype tablet that was first uncovered by Gizmodo.
We're told that on Wednesday, Microsoft execs informed the internal team that had been working on the tablet device that the project would no longer be supported. Courier had never been publicly announced or acknowledged as a Microsoft product.
Hewlett-Packard To Kill Windows 7 Tablet Project [techcrunch.com]

The device was first unveiled by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at CES 2010 in January and was supposed to hit the market in mid 2010. But our source tells us that HP is not satisfied with Windows 7 as a tablet operating system and has terminated the project.

Chester Editor
Emergency Services Manager Charles McCaul of the Three River Chapter and Shasta Chapter of the American Red Cross announced the delivery of an emergency service vehicle to the Lake Almanor Basin, March 25.
"On this date, volunteers Linda White, Tom Fisher and Pat Clark of the Almanor branch of the Three Rivers Chapter picked up the ERV from the Yuba City headquarters and brought it to Chester, where it will be staged," he said.
The ERV is the mobile feeding and bulk distribution vehicle of the American Red Cross. McCaul said the vehicle will provide food to shelters or along designated routes during disasters and transport bulk distribution supplies, such as shovels, buckets and clean-up kits.
"The ERV is one of four such vehicles ready for disaster response from the Three Rivers chapter," he added.
He said the other three ERVs are positioned at Yuba City, Chico and Redding.
Local unit ERV 3039 is a chapter-owned vehicle, which means the maintenance is the responsibility of the local chapter. The other three ERVS are nationally-owned vehicles and are maintained by Red Cross National Headquarters.
"ERV 3039 will be available to serve locally in Chester, Quincy and Susanville, as well as the rest of the surrounding area," McCaul said.
To become a Red Cross volunteer in the Chester/Lake Almanor area, call Linda White at 259-3718 or e-mail at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Mountain Stage"
With Ani DiFranco, Dawes, Dave Mason and Red Baraat
WHERE: Clay Center
WHEN: 7 p.m. Sunday
TICKETS: Advance $30, at the door $35
INFO: 304-561-3570 or www.theclaycenter.org
_____CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- "Feelin' Alright" is one of those songs that never goes out of rotation on classic rock radio. Most people hear it and think of Joe Cocker, but every now and again, another version turns up.
There are a few. Some of the high points include Three Dog Night, The Jackson Five, Huey Lewis and the News, The Black Crowes and Widespread Panic, but there are about 50 versions out there, according to singer/songwriter and guitarist Dave Mason, who wrote and recorded the song with the British rock band Traffic back in 1968.
Mason, who performs Sunday night at the Clay Center on "Mountain Stage," still sounded a little mystified at the tune's enduring popularity.
"It's taken on a life of it's own," he said, acknowledging that mostly has to do with Cocker.
It's one of his signature songs, although it was never a big hit for anybody. The song didn't crack the Top 100 on the Billboard charts for Traffic, and Cocker's take on it only made it to No. 69 in 1969 and No. 33 in 1972 -- hardly a monster.
Yet the song has endured. It's turned up on the radio, in films, on television and, probably, half the bars in the English-speaking world.
"Yeah, a lot of garage bands," Mason agreed and laughed.
He doesn't mind. He said that when he set out to write that song, he was trying to come up with something timeless -- and so far, "Feelin' Alright," seems well on its way.
Part of the song's appeal might be due to the song's simplicity. Mason said he was trying to make the song as simple as his 19-year-old mind could imagine.
"The whole thing is just two chords."
And it's about something people can relate to -- a relationship.

I purchased these boxes to use as favors for our guests. They were a very nice quality, easy to assemble, and were the perfect size for our favors. We placed a Fannie May Pixie inside each box and it fit perfectly. Our guests loved them and made sure they didn't leave any behind. I thought these boxes were a reasonable price compared to other on line favors I had seen. The one thing you have to keep in mind is if you are looking at it from the side, the box is narrower at the top than at the bottom. You can easily fill it with M&Ms, almonds, kisses, etc., just use your imagination. Overall, I loved these favors!!! see less

I was searching for a small box for our wedding favors to go in. I ordered all of the small boxes that Target offers, and then made the decision once I had them all in front of me. This box is the easiest to put together, the most durable of them all, and the most elegant. I was very surprised to see that it is also the least expensive. No need to search any longer. If you can fit it in the 2 x 2 x 2, then buy them. The similar "with special thanks" box is much smaller, more expensive and not as nice looking. see less

I also bought the groom tuxedo favor boxes and they are just as nice as the pic. When you put them next to each other, i am certain people are going to complement you on them. I found them to be very unique and very elegant with a very affordable pricing. So i would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for favor boxes for their wedding!

This product was purchased along with the coordinating tuxedo box for my son's rehearsal dinner. The bride box took a bit of time to assemble - but when complete - was adorable. It doesn't hold much - but for smaller items such as jelly bellys, Jordan Almonds, M & M's etc. - it's great. I used a "gummy" product, so I placed the candy in a cello bag before packaging. Create the box and leave the bottom open - stuff from there! see less

Casa Mia serves up a dinner menu that features 15 tapas options as well as other Latin specialties. Share small plates, such as Colombian chorizo sausage served with a diving pool of creamy salsa rosada ($6). Sauteed mushrooms and onions sneak into melted monterey-jack cheese in Casa Mia's mushroom cheese dip, waiting anxiously for slices of dunking bread to find them ($5). Less traditional options include the Latin sushi roll, which stuffs chicken ($7) or fish ($8) inside sweet plantains covered in avocado sauce. Those opposed to culinary communes can sample a Latin-inspired entree of their very own, such as the hot-pressed Cuban sandwich stacked with ham, swiss cheese, avocado, sauces, and your choice of veggies ($7), chicken ($8), pork ($9), or steak ($10). A selection of sharable desserts offers sweet-seeking tongues a dynamic finale, including churros in a chocolate dipping sauce ($5) and spanish flan glazed with caramel ($5). Check out Casa Mia's brunch and lunch menus for earlier dining options.
A Tavola! head chef Salvatore Bianco, a Naples native, crafts savory Italian offerings using generations-old family recipes, handmade pastas, and traditional wood-burning brick ovens. Diners can crack open fresh mussels coated in olive oil ($14) or wrap forks around the flavorful tendrils of the spicy spaghetti alla diavola ($16), festooned with jumbo shrimp. Pillows of ravioli come stuffed with ricotta and spinach ($15) and arrive bearing homespun, cross-stitched axioms and a coat of taleggio sauce. Meanwhile, tomato, caramelized onions, and pancetta set sail with mozzarella and hot peppers aboard the pancetta e cipolla pizza ($11.50). For a pleasing coda, tiramisu ($6) appeases sweet teeth with offerings of mascarpone and cocoa. Diners can pair these comestibles with potables from an extensive wine list while stationed inside the eatery's industrial-chic dining room, outdoors on an intimately lit patio, or underwater in a comfortably appointed bathysphere.
WhipLash prepares a menu of healthy, creative cuisine. Hogging the culinary spotlight are the café's Break-Neck pizzas, all prepared on a thin, crispy house-made crust topped with house-made pizza sauce and caramelized cheese. Taste the Athens Classic's ham-and-italian sausage ($17 or $22) or crunch into the ground beef and jalapenos waiting on top of the Old Mexico ($14.50 or $18.50). Hearty sandwiches such as the mango chicken ($7.50) and the B.L.A.T. (bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato) ($7.50) keep mouths from wandering off between bites, and pasta salads provide a delicious alternative to the disappointing experience of eating pasta or salad by itself.
Weaver D's Delicious Fine Foods' owner and founder, Dexter Weaver, has built a business around his company slogan, "automatic for the people," which also inspired R.E.M.'s 1992 hit album by the same name. A Los Angeles Times article reveals the story behind the words—each day within the neon-green building, Dexter and his staff dish out a mountain of fried chicken, pork-chop sandwiches, and squash casserole, all served "automatic with a smile." He even wrote a book, Automatic Y'all: Weaver D's Guide to the Soul, which outlines his eatery's recipes, how they relate to life, and some of the best reasons to name a dog Okra.

Oriental Institute Seminars 2
Writing and the state both first began in the ancient Near East. The origins of history are traced to the place where they met. But what did they actually have to do with each other? Most of ancient Near Eastern philology consists of careful examination of the leavings of the state scribes; it has revealed a treasure-house of ancient culture, from haunting poetry to onion archives. But there is a crucial blind spot in our perspective on the largest and oldest archive of the ancient world: the relationship between the vast body of official writing and the actual life of language as spoken, understood, and imagined by ancient Near Eastern people. The vital relationships between language and ethnicity, the connections between languages of empire and local identity, and way languages are born, live and die in writing has remained the subject of more speculation than rigorous research. If recorded history began in the ancient Near East, we are just beginning to explore the powerful creative relationship between writing and the political identities of the Near East's cultures. Collectively, the articles here provide well-documented challenges to conventional wisdom about that for which people actually used Sumerian, Egyptian, Hittite, and Hebrew. This conference was the first to bring leading philologists together with anthropologists and social theorists to explore what writing meant to politics in the ancient Near East. The conference was designed to encourage philologists to talk to theorists about how their material matters. It seems to have worked. The papers and responses give a vivid sense of the stakes and consequences of the oldest written texts in the twenty-first century. We met over two days, on February 25-26, 2005, at the University of Chicago Oriental Institute's James Breasted Auditorium. Fourteen participants attended; Piotr Michalowski, our fifteenth, was out of the country on an international research project.

WILLIAMSON, W.Va. -- The newly elected Mingo County sheriff, intent on cleaning up the county's drug problem, was gunned down at midday Wednesday in downtown Williamson.
Williamson resident Larry Dove said he saw a man shoot Sheriff Eugene Crum "right in the head," in a parking lot on Third Avenue.
Tennis Melvin Maynard, 37, of Delbarton, has been arrested in connection to the shooting, according to West Virginia State Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Baylous.
Baylous said a Mingo sheriff's deputy spotted Maynard in a car near Delbarton after the shooting and chased him. He said Maynard wrecked his car and jumped out, pointing a gun at the deputy.
The deputy opened fire, Baylous said, striking Maynard several times. He was taken to Cabell-Huntington Hospital, but Baylous said he did not know the suspect's condition.
Williamson Police Chief Dave Rockel will take over the sheriff's department until a new sheriff is appointed, Mingo County Emergency Services Director Jarod Fletcher said at a news conference.
Crum took office in January. He had campaigned on ridding the county of illegal drugs, particularly the illicit use of prescription painkillers.
Delegate Harry Keith White, D-Mingo, chairman of the House Finance Committee, said Crum had been aggressive as a county magistrate in setting up a drug task force with local police departments.
White said, "In most people's opinion," the drug task force "had done a terrific job of cleaning up drugs in the county.
"Drugs are a terrible plague and scourge facing much of Southern West Virginia, but at least here in Mingo County, Eugene was working very hard to eradicate this problem prior to becoming the sheriff but had stayed aggressive in his pursuit in stopping pill mills around the county," White said in a prepared statement.
'His whole dream was to be sheriff'
Williamson has had a reputation for prescription drug abuse for several years and some have referred to the town as "Pilliamson."
A notable case is that of Dr. Diane Shafer. Shafer operated a notorious Williamson pill mill in the early 2000s and pleaded guilty in May 2012 to conspiracy to misuse her Drug Enforcement Administration registration number.
The plea was the result of a federal investigation that began about four years ago, examining Shafer's doling out of more than 118,000 prescriptions since 2003.
Dallas and Dollie Toler parked their truck near the scene Wednesday evening and cried together. Dallas said he took over as chief magistrate in Mingo County after Crum quit to run for sheriff.
"His whole dream was to be sheriff," Dollie Toler said. "He wanted to stop the drug trade around here, and it cost him his life."
Dallas Toler said the night Crum was elected sheriff was one of the happiest he'd ever seen him.
Crum's wife, Rosie, was visiting their two children, Julie and Bud, in Indiana when she learned of the shooting Wednesday, Dollie Toler said. She got on a plane with her children and deputies were expected to escort the family from Yeager Airport late Wednesday.
"To think he was gunned down in broad daylight highlights the dangerous position our men and women in law enforcement place themselves in every day," White said in the statement.
Each day, Crum would buy lunch at a restaurant across from the courthouse, and would eat it in his parked car and observe a pill mill, which recently had been shut down, White said.
"Unfortunately, this unselfish act became the scene at which he was killed in broad daylight," Delegate Justin Marcum, D-Mingo, an assistant prosecutor in Mingo County, said in a statement.
That was a daily routine he began that many Williamson residents got familiar with.
Loretta Cline said she often would see Crum in his SUV at the lot on Harvey Street. He would wave or smile at her and her children, she said.
"You could tell he cared about people, and didn't care to stop and talk to anyone," Cline said.
A Starters Restaurant employee, who didn't want to give her name, said Crum often dined at the Second Avenue restaurant, which is about a block away from where the shooting occurred.
"He was a great guy," she said. "We finally had a really good sheriff. It's a tragedy for the small town."
Marcum said Crum was a "true friend to the county" and a "strong fighter of the drug trade in Mingo."
"I'm very proud of the work he's done as sheriff," Marcum said. "He's going to be dearly missed."
Before serving as a magistrate, Crum was the chief of the Delbarton Police Department.

I am stuck on getting 385 x 2.
I am stuck on getting 385 x 2.
I actually did 385X3 prior to this. My grip gave way.
I'm hoping with a squat suit I can get into the 450's early '09. My goal is to compete with a 500lbs deadlift.
All in all I have over 1000lbs total. 315X1 B, 405X1 S and 415X1 D. I am rather happy
That looked pretty easy for you, good work
You look like you could do 10lbs more, looked pretty easy...
I agree, looks like you could have pulled more off the floor. Good job!
Great work buddy. I hate this plates!!!!!!!!!!!!
You had more in the tank for sure...
\\ USPlabs Alpha Ginger //
+1 to the peer pressure for MO' WEIGHT! Real strong man... once you got it moving, it really flew up. 20lbs more I'd say! Real nice job.
I actually pulled 225 2 days ago. It was a lot harder than it should have been, probably because I lost my air halfway up.
235 here I come!
Then I try it with a squat suit
Throw some more on there son, you got it easy. Congrats on a nice lift.

• Review: PW on Ulli Lust's Today is The Last Day of the Rest of Your Life "Her recollections willfully expose the dark side of an anarchic lifestyle, yet are void of any didactic embellishment, and instead form a genuine and nonjudgmental look at aimless youth and rebellion. And what's truer to punk than that?" –Publishers Weekly

Category >> Blake Bell The most delicious 50% candy so let's eat our feelings of Online Commentaries and Diversions: • Plug: The Advocate lists Julio's Day as great gift. "[Julio's Day] is a remarkable literary work that compresses 100 years into 100 pages and demonstrates how dramatically life changed for gay men between 1900 and 2000." –Jacob M, The Advocate • Plug: The AV Club lists Julio's Day at #8 of the top 10 Graphic Novels and Art Comics of 2013. "Comic books have a unique way of evoking the passage of time within static images, and Gilbert Hernandez is a cartoonist that is keenly aware of how he can use the medium to manipulate that chronal flow." –Oliver Sava, The AV Club • Review: Julio's Day on Comic Pusher "This is a fantastic book, yet another example of a master cartoonist at work, an excellent representative Gilbert Hernandez for those unfamiliar with him, and a fine addition to the library of those who have grown with his work over 30 years." -Jeffrey O. Gustafson, Comics Pusher • Review: Maria M. by Gilbert Hernandez on Page 45: "Crime and punishment executed with rapidfire, bullet-point precision...The cartooning is, as ever, an immaculately clean and balanced black and white joy, the expressions are exquisite and the breasts, they are humungous." -SLH, Page 45 • Plug: Maria M. "More than 30 years into his career, there's no stopping Gilbert Hernandez..." -Tom Murphy, Broken Frontier • Plug: GNR takes a look at Gilbert Hernandez's The Troublemakers: "I found the book to be engrossing, compelling, and a lot of fun for both noir and comics fans." -Sterg Botzakis, Graphic Novel Resources • Review: Best of 2013 on Comics Pusher "Obviously this was the year of Gilbert Hernandez…Gilbert filled the void of singular marquis comics with no less than five stunning works, collectively casting its own literary shadow for subsequent generations to wonder at. Someday you can tell your grandchildren that you were alive when the Hernandez Brothers were creating comics, and when Gilbert owned 2013." –Jeffrey O. Gustafson, Comics Pusher • Review: Comic Book Bin looks at Love and Rockets: New Stories #6 "Here, both [Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez] are like great athletes that use human growth hormone (HGH) to extend their peak performance into middle age. Los Bros. have found creative and artistic steroids, as they are producing Love and Rockets comics that are as good as they've ever been. Or maybe genius never gets old and keeps producing all-star work." –Leroy Douresseaux, Comic Book Bin • Review: "Love and Rockets continues to be a vital and important ongoing document of two creators at the absolute height of their powers, and the only venue to read new material from Jaime. The brothers' respective works, their respective worlds, stand alone - but in Love and Rockets we get the privilege of experiencing jolts of both, alternating between brother and brother, between greatness and greatness." –Jeffrey O. Gustafson, Comic Pusher • Plug: Love and Rockets Companion is examined on VICE "Love and Rockets is a great comic that has been around for 30 years now and the characters in the book have aged in time with us... This book's dust jacket, which unfolds into a family tree, will help sort you out if you're like me and can't keep the characters straight" -Nick Gazin, VICE • Review: Grovel checks out Maria M. "Love and Rockets fans shouldn't be without this, but anyone else with an interest in sharp, sexy, violent but sophisticated stories can still enjoy it for what it is: a B-movie homage that takes the genre above and beyond our expectations." -Andy Shaw, Grovel • Plug: The Omnivoracious lists Love and Rockets the series as part of the Lambda awards "These are life stories, told as life unfolds-with humor, heartbreak, and perseverance" –Alex Carr • Plug: Paste lists The Love Bunglers on the Most Anticipated comics of 2014! "Any time a collection of Jaime Hernandez's Maggie (and/or Hopey) stories is published, it's cause for celebration." -Hillary Brown, Paste • Review: Wandering Son 6 by Shimura Takako "in Wandering Son, Volume 6 so many parallels are made between Shuichi and Takatsuki's real life and the very deliberately crafted Romeo and Juliet production.... It may not be a particularly subtle narrative technique on Shimura's part, but it is a very effective one. The play echos their experiences, emphasizing specific aspects of their lives and relationships not only for the characters, but for the readers as well. Wandering Son continues to be an absolutely wonderful series." –Ash Brown, Experiments in Manga • Plug: The Advocate lists the Wandering Son series "An amazing series, Wandering Son offers an unusual glimpse into the lives of gender-nonconforming kids. Suitable for readers 13 and older and engaging enough to keep readers of all ages impatiently awaiting next year's Volume 5." • Review: The Chicago Tribune looks at Carl Barks' Donald Duck: Christmas on Bear Mountain. "Ridiculously, infuriatingly, this is the first time the work of America's finest cartoonist (his only real competition being George Herriman, Walt Kelly and Charles Schulz) has been reproduced with the care and splendor it deserves. Imagine if Duke Ellington's recordings were only now being properly remastered and collected." – Michael Robbins, The Chicago Tribune • Review: Donald Duck: Christmas on Bear Mountain "Carl Barks is one of those truly perfect cartoonists. It feels so good to have these books with beautiful Fantagraphics quality production sitting on my shelf...You'll get sucked in." –Nick Gazin, VICE • Review: SLJ on Donald Duck: Christmas on Bear Mountain "Barks's Disney comics were and are enormously well crafted and equally enormously entertaining, timeless comedy adventures that Fanta presents in such handsomely designed volumes that they make the perfect gift for just about any reader of comics." –J. Caleb Mozzocco, School Library Journal • Review: Donald Duck: Christmas on Bear Mountain "Scrooge is a lot grouchier, bitter and ill tempered than his later incarnations and closer to the Dickens persona rather than Bark's character...whenever I bring up the subject of ducks with my comic book pals, they look at me a-scant but I highly recommend this fabulous collection from Fantagraphics that celebrates the life and prodigious body of work of the Dean of Duckdom, the irreplaceable Carl Barks." –Chris Marshall, Collected Comics Library • Review: "Newave! Underground Mini Comix of the 1980s might be the largest mini ever made. Edited by Michael Dowers, this fat collection features some of the best minis of the day."–Chris Auman, Sound on Sight • Plug: Atomichearted Boy looks at The Treasury of Mini Comics, edited by Michael Dowers. "Mini comics are like the wild west of the comics world - in this lo-fi, DIY formate - it's anything - and everything - goes."–Benn Ray, Atomic Books • Review: The Secret History of Marvel Comics by Blake Bell and Doc Michael J Vassallo "…this book expands our understanding of the publishing industry context in which those comics were produced, and it gives us an unprecedented portfolio of non-comic book art from some notable comic book artists." -John Hilgart, The Comics Journal • Review: "what's been unearthed here (much of it never reprinted) is both visually and historically stunning…The Secret History of Marvel Comics is a stunning book (in more ways than one) of beauties, beasts, and bombast, as well as a wonderfully askew look at the Precambrian Era of Marvel Comics." –KC Carlson, Comics Worth Reading • Interview: Bomb Blog asks Stephen Dixon about His Wife Leaves Him: "Yes. I wanted most of the novel to be in his head. For this, he has to be lying back in bed with his room dark and his eyes closed, remembering things in their marriage. Of course, there is action in the dream. There's movement, I should say. It's a very interior novel." -Dixon Review: David Evanier looks at His Wife Leaves Him and Stephen Dixon in general. "Stephen Dixon is, in my opinion, the best and most overlooked American Jewish fiction writer in the country. If I left out "Jewish," he would still be the best."–David Evanier, The Jewish Book Council • Review: Publishers Weekly gives His Wife Leaves Him a starred review: "A peek into the private world of their marriage proves the novel to be more than the sum of its parts as the reader is granted a panoramic view of the evolution of two characters and their relationship." • Interview: James Fleming writes a very nice intro to Dixon's His Wife Leaves Him and includes some email correspondence with him on Burrow Press. "How do I even begin to explain how Dixon--though we've never met in person and I've never taken a writing class with him--effectively taught me nearly everything I know about short-story and novel writing." • Plug: Burrow Press Review puts up an excerpt from Dixon's His Wife Leaves Him. Enjoy. • Review: Goddamn This War! on FPI Best of 2013 list: "Tardi's burning rage at the injustice and immorality of what was done to so many is undimmed by the passing of time, and as we enter the centenary year of the start of that awful war this work becomes even more vital for readers." –Joe Gordon, Forbidden Planet International • Review: Goddamn This War! "Jacques Tardi is a one of the most versatile cartoonists to ever lift a pencil...We descend into Hell with these soldiers, live their unbelievably intense live, and are inexorably and subtly changed by the experience. That is the power of great Art. That is the power of the great Jacques Tardi." –Jason Sacks, Comics Bulletin • Plug: Goddamn This War! made Mark Burrier's Best of 2013 list. "Besides the meticulously-referenced artwork, Tardi painted these panels using inks and they are gorgeous...Kim Thompson did a bang up job translating this. The narrator is recounting what it was like during WWI and the tone holds up well to translation." -Mark Burrier • Review: PW on Ulli Lust's Today is The Last Day of the Rest of Your Life "Her recollections willfully expose the dark side of an anarchic lifestyle, yet are void of any didactic embellishment, and instead form a genuine and nonjudgmental look at aimless youth and rebellion. And what's truer to punk than that?" –Publishers Weekly • Review: Today is The Last Day of the Rest of Your Life "There is a rejection of the organization of the world, from organized faith to organized crime. It is about the pursuit of nihilism as a route to integrity. Ulli Lust has the intelligence to look at her life and make a book of it." -Eddie Campbell, The Comics Journal • Plug: Today is The Last Day of the Rest of Your Life makes Froh's Best of 2013 list "Coming of age that makes you squirm. Beautifully drawn story depicted with a punk touch." -Kelly Froh, Atomic Blog • Review: Ghost and Ruins by Ben Catmull on NY Journal of Books: "For those who like their horror with more then a hint of detached humor, Ghosts and Ruins is the perfect book to leave out at both Halloween and Christmas. These are wonderfully scary stories drawn and told with such beauty and wit you regret when they end. " –Mark Squirek, NY Journal of Books • Review: Ghost and Ruins by Ben Catmull on Famous Monsters: "If Escher and Gorey met in Maurice Sendak's house and decided to riff on Junji Ito manga, you might have something similar to these pages…All fans of black and white horror movies owe it to themselves to hunt this down and subsequently cower under the covers like a kid in the cold." –Holly Interlandi, Famous Monsters • Plug: "Ghost and Ruins will satisfy your craving for dark and creepy, yet beautiful drawings of - you got it - ghosts and ruins!" –Jade, Librarie D&Q • Review: On Richard Sala's Violenzia "Sala takes the conventions of Golden Age comics like Dick Tracy and The Shadow and [modernizes] them for the digital era" –HTML Giant • Review: Richard Sala's The Hidden. "There's no mistaking a panel of a Sala comic for a panel of anyone else's comic...it is probably his grandest and most epic in terms of scale, and it's full of suspense, mystery, horror, violence and a perhaps surprising amount of action..." –J. Caleb Mozzoccoo, Every Day is Like Wednesday • Review: Katherine Whaley receives a Starred Reviewi n Publishers Weekly: "a parade of 20th century American philosophical fads, particularly those rooted in the entertainment business, pseudoscience, commercialized spiritualism, and general quackery. The story is earnestly told from Kate's wide-eyed perspective and achieves a tone that emphasizes the multifaceted nature of human experience." • Interview: Brian Heater of Boing Boing interviews Kim Deitch about Katherine Whaley on the Recommended If You Like podcast. • Review: Barracuda in the Attic by Kipp Friedman on Boswell Book Company "Growing up as one of three sons of the writer Bruce J. Friedman, they had adventures many of us can't imagine... Kipp's upbringing does resonate with me more than just another New York story..." -Daniel Goldin • Plug: Willard Mullins' Golden Age of Baseball edited by Michael Powers and Hal Bock in the NY Daily News. "Mullin was a treasure and so, too, is this book." –Bill Madden, NY Daily News • Review: Willard Mullins' Golden Age of Baseball gets reviewed "Through the eyes of someone like Mullin, with his graceful portraits of folks like Babe Ruth and Stan Musial, the sport seems thousands of years old. An artifact. A time capsule… This is a beautiful-looking book, thorough and affectionate in its treatment of the cartoonist Willard Mullin and his coverage of the sport for which he is best known: baseball." -Tom Spurgeon, The Comics Journal • Plug: "...we get to watch Charles M. Schulz's cast evolve, along with his simple yet lyrical line. [Peanuts Every Sunday] is a complement to Fantagraphics' continuing and indispensable 'Complete Peanuts' publishing project." -Dana Jennings, NY Times • Plug: Westfield Comics on Peanuts Every Sunday. "If Peanuts Every Sunday isn't under your Christmas Tree this year, put aside some of your Holiday 'loot' (as early Schulz might say) to make sure you pick it up as soon as you can. You won't regret it. It's the kind of gift book I'd be getting for Grandma Lil, if she were still around" -KC Carlson, Westfield Comics
Our campaign to support our Spring-Summer 2014 season on Kickstarter is ongoing, and we're continuing to spotlight the books in question, a couple at a time. We've also put our season catalog online for you to browse. (Please note that all artwork, contents, prices, specs, and release dates are preliminary and subject to change.) The Amateurs 72-page black & white (with spot color) 6" x 9" softcover • $14.99 A local medical expert and sheriff are summoned to investigate a strange sighting that sets the stage for Conor Stechschulte's debut graphic novella: a severed human head that still seems to be talking. We flash back to a pair of butchers who arrive at work one morning to find not only that there is no meat in their shop but also that they have forgotten completely how to do their job. As customers arrive, they are too fearful for their livelihood to admit their dilemma, leading to increasingly disastrous events. But what has caused their strange amnesia? This often hilarious, enigmatic, and uncomfortable book will establish Stechschulte as an exciting new talent. For a Kickstarter pledge of $25 or more, pre-order this book signed by Conor Stechschulte while supplies last! Also available: a limited edition silkscreen print for a pledge of $50 or more. Strange Suspense: The Steve Ditko Archives Vol. 1 (Softcover Ed.) 240-page full-color 6.75" x 9.75" softcover • $28.99 Before Spider-Man and Dr. Strange, the legendary comic book artist Steve Ditko was conjuring all manners of horrors at his drawing table. In his first two years in the industry (1953 and 1954), Ditko drew tales of macabre suspense that were not yet hobbled by the imminent Comics Code Authority (adopted in Oct. 1954). These stories featured graphic bloodshed, dismemberment, and blood-curdling acid baths as the ugly end to the lives of the dark and twisted inhabitants of Steve Ditko's imagination. Strange Suspense features spectacular full-color reprints of every story from those first two years of his career. Edited by Ditko expert Blake Bell. Now in paperback!
This week's comic shop shipment is slated to include the following new titles. Read on to see what comics-blog commentators and web-savvy comic shops are saying about them (more to be added as they appear), check out our previews at the links, and contact your local shop to confirm availability. Impossible Tales: The Steve Ditko Archives Vol. 4 240-page full-color 7.25" x 10" hardcover • $39.99 "I think [Ditko's] a foundational mainstream talent, and one of the interesting ones like Johnny Craig in that a lot of his influence is felt more directly in areas outside of conventional mainstream funnybooks. I could read him all day. And then the next day." –Tom Spurgeon, Comics Reporter "Ditko's distinctly off-kilter drawings and boldly potent composition" and the "meticulous restoration means that the stories look far better here than they did upon their original appearances." –Gordon Flagg, Booklist Online The Complete Crumb Comics Vol. 6: On the Crest of a Wave (New Printing) 156-page black & white/color 8.5" x 11" softcover • $19.99 "These are all must haves, and every positive vibe I emanated up the screen in the direction of Steve Ditko goes double for Mr. Crumb. This is pretty prime time material in terms of the material that made and kept him an icon in the 1970s, but then again, nearly all of these volumes has something. I admire Fantagraphics for their commitment to keep this material in print." –Tom Spurgeon, Comics Reporter The Complete Crumb Comics Vol. 8: The Death of Fritz the Cat (New Printing) by Robert Crumb 144-page black & white/color 8.5" x 11" softcover • $19.99 "The Complete Crumb series is especially useful in reminding us that Crumb has continued to evolve through the sixties. His more recent work is quieter and more literary... The most recent installment, collecting material originally published in Weirdo magazine, contains some of Crumb's best work." –The National Post "Fans are not interested in quality." "This field is full of pirates." "If you get a title that catches on, then add a few more, you're in for a nice profit." —Martin Goodman "No other field of endeavor is so populated with the get-rich-quick boys." — Literary Digest "[Martin Goodman] used to split my salary up into six different checks." "The guys who published were monsters." — Vince Fago, Timely Comics editor-in-chief "We want plenty of sex, horror, and gore." — Gene Fornshell, a Goodman editor "I felt that we were a company of copycats." — Stan Lee — from the Introduction The Secret History of Marvel Comics: Jack Kirby and the Moonlighting Artists at Martin Goodman's Empire 304-page black & white/color 7.25" x 10" hardcover • $39.99 Available now! Click the thumbnails for larger versions; get more info, see more previews and pre-order your copy here: The Secret History of Marvel Comics: Jack Kirby and the Moonlighting Artists at Martin Goodman's Empire 304-page black & white/color 7.25" x 10" hardcover • $39.99 Marvel Comics is home to such legendary super-heroes as Spider-Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man, all of whom have spun box office gold in the 21st century. But Marvel Comics has a secret history hidden in the shadows of these well-known franchises. The Secret History of Marvel Comics digs back to the 1930s when Marvel Comics wasn't just a comic-book producing company. Marvel Comics owner Martin Goodman had tentacles into a publishing world that might have made that era's conservative American parents lynch him on his front porch. Marvel was but a small part of Goodman's publishing empire, which had begun years before he published his first comic book. Goodman mostly published lurid and sensationalistic story books (known as "pulps") and magazines, featuring sexually-charged detective and romance short fiction, and celebrity gossip scandal sheets. And artists like Jack Kirby, who was producing Captain America for eight-year-olds, were simultaneously dipping their toes in both ponds. The Secret History of Marvel Comics tells this parallel story of 1930s/40s Marvel Comics sharing offices with those Goodman publications not quite fit for children. The book also features a comprehensive display of the artwork produced for Goodman's other enterprises by Marvel Comics artists such as Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, Alex Schomburg, Bill Everett, Al Jaffee, and Dan DeCarlo, plus the very best pulp artists in the field, including Norman Saunders, John Walter Scott, Hans Wesso, L.F. Bjorklund, and Marvel Comics #1 cover artist Frank R. Paul. Goodman's magazines also featured cover stories on celebrities such as Jackie Gleason, Elizabeth Taylor, Liberace, and Sophia Loren, as well as contributions from famous literary and social figures such as Isaac Asimov, Theodore Sturgeon, and L. Ron Hubbard. These rare pieces of comic art, pulp and magazine history will open the door to Marvel Comics' unseen history.
Impossible Tales: The Steve Ditko Archives Vol. 4 240-page full-color 7.25" x 10" hardcover • $39.99 Five years before Steve Ditko began work on his now legendary co-creations for Marvel Comics, the Amazing Spider-Man and Doctor Strange, he was pro- ducing some of his best work in near anonymity for Charlton Comics. Like its predecessors, Impossible Tales: The Steve Ditko Archives Vol. 4 features over 200 meticulously restored full-color pages of Ditko in his early prime — stories that have never seen a proper reprinting until now, thrilling stories of suspense, mystery, haunted houses, and unsuspecting victims all delineated in Ditko's wildly idiosyncratic, masterful style. This fourth volume ranks as the best in the Steve Ditko Archives series to date thanks in large part to the inspiration Ditko took from comics derived from the classic host-narrated radio shows, which gave an extra oomph to his creepy yarns. Moreover, comics such as This Magazine Is Haunted and Tales of the Mysterious Traveler bore witness to a veritable explosion in Ditko's ingenuity in terms of manipulating the traditional comic-book page layout. This new level of excellence also manifested itself in his work on other books, such as Mysteries of Unexplored Worlds, Out of This World, Strange Suspense Stories, and Unusual Tales, all of which are amply represented in this volume.
Just arrived and shipping now from our mail-order department: The Secret History of Marvel Comics: Jack Kirby and the Moonlighting Artists at Martin Goodman's Empire 304-page black & white/color 7.25" x 10" hardcover • $39.99 Marvel Comics — home to virtuous heroes like Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and The Avengers - has a hidden sordid past, stretching back to long before the first Marvel Comic rolled off the presses. Authors Blake Bell and Dr. Michael J. Vassallo pull back the curtain on the real-life characters who built the publishing empire that became Marvel Comics, document their shady practices, and reveal how it all shaped the Marvel we know today. Lavishly illustrated and wildly revealing, The Secret History of Marvel Comics discredits long-held myths about Marvel and bursts open a treasure trove of lost artwork by comic book legends Jack Kirby, Joe Simon, Bill Everett, Carl Burgos, Alex Schomburg, and dozens more. none of this art ever appeared in any comic book! Includes early writings by Stan Lee plus a rare Human Torch escapade — published here in color for the first time!

The Steve Ditko Archives series keeps getting better, with more thrilling stories of suspense, mystery, haunted houses, and unsuspecting victims, all given extra oomph by Ditko's increasingly ingenious layouts and wildly idiosyncratic, masterful style.

How many does pixels does a Mac unequivocally need to validate as Retina, anyway?
It's seeking increasingly expected that when Tim Cook takes a theatre during a annual WWDC keynote upon Jun 11th, Apple will make known latest MacBook Pros as well as presumably iMacs, as well as if a gossip indent is to be believed, these latest machines won't usually be slimmer as well as embankment their visual drives… they'll be a initial Macs with Retina Displays.
What everybody during large expects from Retina Display Macs is an iPhone or iPad character fortitude doubling. So if a stream 15-inch MacBook Pro has a 1,440 x 900 display, a Retina 15-inch MBP would have a 2,880 x 1800 display.
What a gossip indent is blank is that there's no good to Apple doing a burst to Retina Display Macs this way. The reason a iPad as well as iPhone starting Retina was such a large understanding was since they had unequivocally pixellated displays. Before a iPhone 4S, a iPhone had a arrangement that was usually 53% tighten to being Retina. The iPad was somewhat improved during 61%. Roughly, both a iPad as well as iPhone were usually about half approach there, that finished a easiest repair to usually stand in a volume of pixels per inch.
But Apple doesn't need to do this with a line of Macs. In fact, it's expected that many "Retina Quality" Macs will have reduction pixels than your latest iPad. Here's why.
Macs Are Already Almost Retina Quality
When we speak about an iPad or iPhone carrying a Retina Display, what we're articulate about is that a pixels upon that arrangement have been so densely packaged as well as so small that they have been not distinct to a eye of a chairman with 20/20 vision. Nothing looks pixelated. We magnitude a honeyed mark for how densely packaged a arrangement needs to be to validate as Retina in pixels per inch.
There is no enchanting series of pixels per in. that automatically equates to Retina Quality.
Simple so far, right? Here's a thing, though: there is no enchanting series of pixels per in. that automatically equates to Retina Quality. The iPhone 4S achieves retina peculiarity during 329.7 pixels per inch, whilst a latest iPad usually needs 214.9 pixels per in. to validate as Retina. Why? Because we reason your iPad serve divided from your eyes than we reason your iPhone. That equates to a iPad doesn't need as many pixels as a iPhone to appear crisp.
The closer a arrangement is, a not as big as well as some-more densely packaged a pixels need to be for your eyes not to be equates to to finalise them. The over divided a arrangement is, a incomparable as well as some-more loosely packaged a pixels can be. What all this equates to if we lay over behind from your Mac than we do your iPad — as well as everybody does — it doesn't need as tall a fortitude to validate as a Retina Display.
There's a regulation for last how many pixels per in. a arrangement needs to be to grasp "retina" quality, as supposing by Dr. Raymon Soneira of DisplayMate Technologies. Using this formula, it's flattering easy to discuss it how many pixels per in. a arrangement needs to validate as retina. And helpfully, TUAW's Richard Gaywood has regularly finished a math.
Here's how tighten they have been right now:
Model | Screen Size (Inches) | Resolution | Average observation distance | PPI for "Retina" | Closeness to Retina |
11-inch MacBook Air | 11.6 | 1366 x 768 | 22 | 156.3 | 87% |
13-Inch MacBook Air | 13.3 | 1440 x 900 | 22 | 156.3 | 82% |
15-Inch MacBook Pro | 15.4 | 1440 x 900 | 24 | 143.2 | 77% |

As we can see, a Mac furthest divided from subordinate as Retina is a 15-inch low res MacBook Pro, that is 77%, whilst a high-res 15-inch MacBook Pro is 90% a retina display. Almost any alternative Mac hovers around 80-90%, solely for a 17-inch MacBook Pro, that is already a Retina Display!
See what we're removing during here? Apple doesn't need to begin quadrupling a series of pixels to grasp Retina. Across a board, fortitude doubling is overkill. For a many part, any Mac usually needs to strike itself up usually a small bit. And regulating a on top of interpretation as well as a pythagorean theorem, it's flattering easy to figure out just what a smallest real-world fortitude any arrangement would need to be to be Retina.

See? Not scarcely so drastic. Besides, there's there's an additional complaint with pixel-doubling…
