Movie News
Jean Giraud aka MOEBIUS has passed on...
I first became aware of MOEBIUS as I read STARLOG voraciously absorbing every detail about the making of Ridley Scott's ALIEN. Along with Ralph McQuarrie, MOEBIUS was my fave childhood conceptual artist. When TRON came about... I was... blown completely away. By that time, I was already reading HEAVY METAL MAGAZINE - I'd seen HEAVY METAL about a dozen times at the drive-in with my parents. The TAARNA sequence just screaming Jean Giraud aka Moebius. We know his work cinematically on films like WILLOW, MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, THE ABYSS, THE FIFTH ELEMENT and we can see his influences upon countless other films.
I met Jean Giraud at COMIC CON about 17-18 years ago. It was before AintItCool, I was just a rotund geek wandering Comic Con with my sketch book. I'd just ran into Jack Kirby, who drew me a quick happy face when I recognized Jean Giraud. I quietly walked up to him and asked if he would do a quick sketch for me. He looked at me and said, "You know, I'm not Moebius." and I responded, "Moebius is a dream, you're Jean Giraud." He smiled and drew a full page sketch that became one of the centerpieces of that particular sketchbook.
I stand by what I told him. Moebius is a dream. A dream that I never will fully wake from. From the spacesuits in ALIEN to the world of TRON - to the brilliant work on Alejandro Jodorowsky DUNE which never came to be. Where I truly fell in love with him was when I picked up BLUEBERRY - his Western comic which was adapted into a film, that couldn't quite do the pen & inks justice. Though I'd be lying if I said I loved anything more than his AIRTIGHT GARAGE, ARZACH or L'INCAL which he made with Jodorowsky.
He had a style that was instantly recognizable, his stories thoroughly rocked my mind as a child and as an adult. But more than anything, I'll remember when he handed me back my book and my face lit up, I caught his smile and a twinkle in his eyes. He said, "I don't usually do that, but there's something special about you." At the time, that meant the world to me. When a hero tells you that, it means the world.
Jean Giraud was one of our great comic and film artists. He gave us entire worlds to live in & dream in. I utterly despise living in a world where I don't have new work of his to wallow in, but the work he lived to give us, it's enough to ponder for a lifetime. It is cold and rainy today. Somehow fitting. But for now, I just want to ride some manner of flying beast through the rock formations of Utah.

first fight with the agents in part 2. For anyone familiar with Darrow's- something I've never heard mentioned here by anti matrix pukes- watching the matrix trilogy was like reading Hard Boiled. The explosions in the matrix films are even art directed to look exactly how Darrow draws fireballs and explosions. Look at the chase scene in part 2's explosions. See? Exactly how Darrow draws his comics. But noooo- the matrix sequels suck duuuuurrrrr. Anyway. Möbius trained that guy. Just wanted to mention that here. R.I.P. immortal brethren

One of the heroes of my early growing-up years ... I loved "John Difool" before getting to treasure Blueberry (Western was sooo out, then). I first had little interest in film, so it took some more years for me till I happened upon his work in the industry. Still later I discovered his paintings and drawings, his work in advertising and design. So much talent, and used in ever varying styles and fields. Truly one of the giants :(

I first became aware of Moebius during a challenging time in.....my life. Mom said, "No Twinkies until after lunch!" (gasp) It was only 10:30 a.m. in the morning (which comes before the afternoon). After night.

This is like a gut punch to me right now. No one could top Giraud. His work with Jodorowsky was unparalleled. For those who clamor for good science fiction, take a look at some comics. The Incal is unlike anything around.

Re: Anti-Matrix pukes; I'm sorry, but they are right. There are many good disparate elements in both of the sequels, but none of that can alter the fact that as films they are resolutely HORRIBLE. Interesting about Darrow though.

Great artist but why is every obit Harry rights more about Harry than the person the obit is supposed to be about?
by torontoxic
Has there been one of these written where it wasn't "I first met him..." or "he influenced me by..."? <P> Harry's ego has the same effect on his writing that he has on a swimming pool: it cannon balls in and suddenly the whole thing is very shallow. <P> It sucks we all lost a great artist. Fortunately he left behind a lot of work that will continue to inspire new artists to work hard and achieve a similar level of success through genuine creativity.

I doubt H.R. Giger will round out the trifecta. The evil ones always live forever. You will be missed. I am glad you got to experience your notoriety and the love of fans worldwide DURING your lifetime. You have inspired countless, countless visions, and will continue to do so for quite some time. And when you see McQuarrie, tell him hey, and tell the powers that be to knock it off. We need you legends now, more than ever. The vacant hole is too large to fill...

(Cross-posted from the BTS pic of the week): Very ironic that a Blade Runner picture would be up the day he passed. I saw him give a talk at a con when I was a teenager (mid-late-80's, when he was having his American renaissance thanks to the Epic reprints), and he used Blade Runner as a specific example of how he considered it easier to imagine a dystopia than a positive future (the latter of which was a common hallmark of Moebius's work at that time). A very kind and thoughtful man, as well as (obviously) a great artist.

Horrible news, Moebius was a legend. This is the end of an iconic era of sci-fi/fantasy art style and innovation
by lv_426
First McQuarrie, now Jean Giraud. We've still got Giger, Syd Mead, Ron Cobb, and Sir Ridley. These guys are old though, and all are nearly retired except for Ridley Scott, who is still able to consistently craft a big movie every two years. The passing of these two conceptual art masters feels like the beggining of the end of an era of such unique art and design in film and comic books.

He used to spend his summers with his family in the same little village in Spain as we did. I've still got the t-shirt he designed for the village fair one year. Years later, I worked with his daughter, a very talented designer in her own right. A wonderful family, a great loss. La Selva te echará de menos, Jean.

Hey guys...
by Jon Forbing
Could we please focus on the deceased instead of taking this as another lame-ass excuse to talk shit on Harry/AICN? He tells stories of having met people in his tributes because it shows what his personal memories are of them, and gives us an insight of what kind of people they were. Show some fucking respect to Moebius/Jean instead of using his death as a springboard for your socially inept internet dickery. Anyway, I am pretty upset about this myself. After John Severin, and Ralph McQuarrie, this one is another heavy blow. I hope God's building a new design team for Heaven, because then we'll at least get to see these great artist's work again if there's an afterlife. Rest in peace, Jean.

I started reading him in Heavy Metal, and went with him on every journey he took. Alien, Tron, The Airtight Garage, Siver Surfer, etc... He worked hard, his art was FUCKING ART, not the the shit that gets passed off these days. An artist and designer of few pears, Cobb maybe, Ralph MQ, but this is the guy that got me hooked on alternate Sci-Fi, the whole fucked up insane underside of the genre. His characters had hard knocks drawn into them, he breathed reality into every pen-stroke. FUCK NO!!! RIP dude, I'm fuckin' bummed...

He was brought in as an uncredited screenwriter and dropped in a few lines of dialog and he said the Silver Surfer stuff was his doing...I can't recall where I saw the interview. You may know all of this already but I just found it interesting is all when I found out, just sharing.

A titan
by Keith
I always loved his work on Tron in particular. The obvious thing to do would be lots of sharp edges and straight lines, but Giraud's designs for that film are full of sweeping organic curves. It's one of the things that means it still looks beautiful to this day - an incredible piece of work artistically.

Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: I said, the Kirby Silver Surfer was the only real Silver Surfer. And that the Moebius Silver Surfer was shit. And Bennefield's a big Moebius fan. And it got of hand. I pushed him. He pushed me. I lost my head, Sir. I'm Sorry. Hunter: Rivetti, you're a supervisor. You can get a commission like that. [Snaps finger] Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: I know, Sir. You're 100 percent right. It will never happen again. Hunter: It better not happen again. If I see this kind of nonsense again, I'm going to write you up. You understand? Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: [No answer] Hunter: Do you understand? Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: Yes, Sir. Hunter: You have to set an example even in the face of stupidity. Everybody who reads comic books knows that the Kirby Silver Surfer is the only true Silver Surfer. Now am I right or wrong? Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: You're right, Sir. Hunter: Now get out of here.

HARRY - I don't care if MOEBIUS wiped your fucking arse when you were a kid, or took you the cinema whilst babysitting, its an OBIT to HIM, not ANOTHER opportunity for you to harp on about YOUR life. I've not logged in for years, but this 'OBIT' of yours is a fucking sad post to a great man.

A Giant among us has fallen
by blue meanie
To say that I am a fan of Moebius' work would be a major understatement. Like others, I grew up reading Heavy Metal, mesmerized by his great artistry and his many distinct art styles. Could one man be so talented that one serial looked so different from other? So many characters in so many worlds. Many years later, I finally had the opportunity to meet the man in person at the San Diego Comic Con. At that time, a very interesting Japanese Anime called Dragon's Heaven came out that pretty much looked as close to a Moebius animation than anything I've seen, even up to now. When I met him, I gave him a VHS copy of that animation, and I pulled out my copy of Miyazaki's first issue of Nausicaa for him to sign, to which he wrote the introduction and did a poster in it. He was so appreciative of the VHS gift, he did s sketch of Nausicaa in my comic and a nice female alien sketch in my sketchbook! I'll never forget that moment. So humble and so kind. Like Jack Kirby, this man had one of greatest impact on comics ever known. You will be missed, Jean Giraud.

Arzach flies no more...
by Blue_Demon
Arzach on his enormous flier is, (along with Terry Gilliam's image of Sam Lowery flying in BRAZIL) one of the greatest images of freedom I can think of. Does anything else come close to symbolizing daydreams so perfectly? I have lots of printed material with Mr. Giraud's art in it. I can't wait for five o'clock so I can get home and look at it again. His beautiful IRON MAN poster is above my drafting table right now. Rest in Peace, Mr. Giraud and thank you.

I know it's been said, but can't be said enough...
by SK229
WHAT THE FUCK DO WE DO NOW?! Where are the artists that will replace these legends? We may have a newer generation of sci-fi and fantasy film directors like Blomkamp, Nolan, and Duncan Jones... hell, even Ridley Scott, but the DESIGNS are all borderline generic or totally derivative. I'm seriously putting this out there because maybe there are people I'm not aware of, but are there any artists anybody here knows of where you'd like to see their work represented on film in some way? Is the problem more that the top film directors only work with people where the emperor has no clothes. Doug Chiang of SW Prequel fame would qualify in that category. The designs in those movies were SO uninspired, and I actually heard that he made a snarky comment about McQuarrie's designs being 'wrong'? Not sure if that was even true but it sure seemed to fit when I heard it. Yeah... way to shit all over the second man most responsible for Star Wars even getting made in the first place. Anyway... rest in peace Jean Giraud... you've certainly earned it.

Laird says 3rd-qtr rev up, on track to meet forecast
Oct 23 (Reuters) - Laird Plc, which makes electromagnetic shielding and heat control devices for electronic equipment, said quarterly revenue rose as its wireless systems business benefited from robust demand in the North American automotive market.
The British company, which designs and supplies a range of high-specification wireless antennae and machine-to-machine wireless modules, also said it was on track to meet its full-year expectations.
Laird, which counts Apple as a major customer, said revenue rose 10 percent to 133 million pounds ($213.25 million) in the third quarter, boosted by a double-digit growth in September.
Revenue from its wireless systems business rose 11 percent to 49 million pounds while performance materials division was up 9 percent at 84 million pounds.
Laird, which was founded as a shipbuilding company in 1824, makes devices for tablets, phones, televisions and gaming consoles.
Laird's shares, which have risen 40 percent this year, closed at 216.7 pence on the London Stock Exchange on Monday.

My first beer of New Beer Sunday (Abeyance Week 1)! I got this CAN through BeerDocT after I reviewed if from a bottle and realized that it was also available in CANs. I then put some feelers out among previous CAN reviewers and Doc and I set up a small trade to keep The CANQuest (TM) humming along. This is how we do ...
From the CAN: "The open mark turns blue at optimal tasting temperature"; "Clean tasting, Refreshing beer"; "preserved by F.T.K. (Fresh Taste Keeping) System".
Ha! As a retired sailor, any time F (foxtrot) is used as an abbreviation, the default position is "F*c*", so I CAN see this as F*c* This KAN! That's just me, though. Hey, when did FTW become "For the Win", vice "F the World", which is what it always used to mean?
Onward! A Crack followed by a no-holds-barred Glug produced a massive two-plus fingers of fizzing, foamy bone-white head with very limited retention. Hey, if I'd have known you were going to leave so quickly, I would not have bothered showering! Ya hear me, ya jagov?!? Bye! On an up note, the color was a deep-golden yellow to make Midas and Croesus proud, coupled with NE-quality clarity enabling me to read the postcard offering me a a complimentary entree for my birthday. I will be headed to PHL tomorrow to the University City Mad Mex to take them up on their offer. Once again, I digress ... Nose had the sweetish smell of pure unadulterated lager, no adjuncts, and my mouth began to water. I swear, there are more CANned AALs than I would have ever imagined. Mouthfeel was a tad thin and it tasted like lager with Noble hops, slightly tangy, mellow in a grassy way. Yum! Finish was semi-dry and definitely refreshing, so kudos for them for truth in advertising. It really is not a bad beer and I would probably fill a cooler with it for a day at the beach. YMMV.

Downed 2 quick ones in Nagoya while waiting for the train. This stuf is NOT BAD. Somewhat watery with lots of head when poured. Clear color with a little lace. Some hops detected and better than any domestic lite beers. I cracked up when I read the can... "Brewed with water found under the ground" .. Doesn't have a whole lotta flavor but there is something about a cold beer on a hot day after eating wasabe coated sushi.

Hite pours a golden yellow color with a white head from a brown twelve ounce bottle. There isn't much in the way of aroma, no off odors in any case. The mouthfeel is the same as any other lager. The flavor is very mild, there is a bit of hops. This is a very crisp, refreshing lager. It's probably as good as any other macro lager I've tried. Sampled at a Korean restaurant in Orlando, I haven't seen it available anywhere else in central or south Florida.

A: Pours a dilute urinal yellow with under a single finger of loosely packed soapy head. This sticks to the sides as it slides down; restated: the head goes down. Little to no lacing this is not a cabaret show. I can see my fingerprint through this beer. To piss standards, this is excellent, to beer a 4. (4)
S: Initially, when I cracked the bottle and took a whiff - Pepe, but this dies off while sitting. Now that the beer has been given the opportunity to decant a bit, let's take another swing through the muffler. Light grains and noble hops. The beer has a small mineral quality combined with the markings of a walk through my local English garden- plenty of floral characteristics. Slightest hint of butterscotch. Thinking Belgian blonde. (4)
T: Light and effervescent in the mouth. Lemon hints, grain, the most distanced light hop dance. Some hints of corn as well. No evident corn. The slightest coriander/yeast flavor to me. (3.5)
M: Light with spritely carbonation. Very white wine finish - dry, but not so dry. (3.5)
O: Still thinking Belgian blonde. I wish it were 85F and sunny out rather than the middle of the night. This beer is easy to drink and good bordering on great. Would drink again in a heartbeat. (3.5)
Guess: again, Belgian blonde, Achel....for the win!!
Reveal: Hite cool & Fresh
The reaction: well, I now I don't want to post this. It's made in Korea. Has a BA rating of D+ It has an 'indicator' for when it's cold enough...I'm at a loss for words...Fuck it, I'm drinking this with pride. I have two friends that live in Korea to teach English, and I'm cheersing to them. To the crowd, you're welcome to tell me I'm obviously a noob at tasting.

Appearance is . . . well, clear. No head, low bubble count. It is what it is.
Smell is relatively quiet. Certainly inoffensive. Not too sweet, no off-flavors, just a ghostly whisper of pale malt.
Taste is a triumph of neutrality; while not underflavored, or watery, this is certainly a study in nuance. That's not to say that things are unpleasant -- there are nice flavors of vanilla and toast, and there's not even a suggestion of fusel alcohol or fermentation off-flavors. Is it "Cool and Fresh!" as the label promises? Not quite, but not a stretch either.
Mouthfeel is quite full; I can't imagine eating anything with this, as it's already so bready and carbonated. If you're looking to pair something with spicy foods, go with Singha -- save this for beach drinking.
Overall, drinks much more like a Cream Ale than a Euro Pale Lager. On that card, it acquits itself nicely. Grab a few bombers and bring them to a card night.

The better of the Major Korean Beers. Not as easy to find as OB but more consistant. It is not a batch by batch beer.
Apearance- Is that of like an average American lite beer.
Smell- Is Average
Taste- Is not bad. Kind of sweet and not to bad of an aftertaste either.
Mouthfeel- A little better than average.
Drinkability- Goes down smooth

Poured into a stange glass. Freshness date is stamped on the label... glad to see an import from Korea doing this.
Pours crystal clear and light, the color of hay. The head amounts to a little over a finger at its best and is fluffy and white, receding quickly but retaining a layer on the surface.
Smells of very pale malts, a touch of sulfur and some noble hops. Smells grassy in its sweetness. There might be some corn in the nose but I can't be sure. Light but in aroma but acceptable.
From the flavor I would guess that there are some adjuncts to the malt, which is present and tastes light, toasty, very pale and good. The hops are not very aromatic but they do provide the bittnerness needed to balance the grains. Overall this still lands on the sweeter side of this style.
Mouthfeel is light and highly carbonated, but there is still a bit of body here, probably mostly from carbonation but still there is something. Drinkability is better than average for this style.
Conclusion: I don't know what all the hate is for on this site for this beer, I mean a D+ average? This isn't trying to be an Imperial Pilsner. The label says cool and fresh, which when served chilled this beer is. Some Euro pale lagers are certainly not fresh tasting, but this is closer. I would drink this as an alternative to Heineken any day...

I've had Korean beer before (O.B.), but had never heard of "Hite." It was cheap, and I thought, "why not." Results follow.
Poured from a can into a glass, and also consumed right from the can.
-Appearance 3.5: Very attractive, deep golden color. Not at all what I was expecting. Big head, about an inch. Head completely dissipated very quickly. Small carbonation bubbles present all over the beer.
-Smell 2.5: Very little bouquet, but still has a pleasant "beer bouquet." I smell lots of grains, but that's it.
-Taste 4.0: Pretty darn good. Nice, deep, lager taste. Nothing like what I expected. I can taste the grains, but not as much of an "adjunct accent" in the taste as I expected. Great balance of sweet and dry. Clean aftertaste with a nice hint of malt. I'm sure this would be a fantastic beer with food.
-Mouthfeel 3.0: Just average. Not bad, not good, the right amount of carbonation for this style of beer. This is a "the brewer needs to get this basic thing right" category and these brewers did get it right.
-Overall 3.5: This would be a fabulous session beer. Tastes great, nothing artificial, no weird aftertaste, just good lager beer. I would recommend this beer with food, with football, whatever. Nice.
I purchased this at Lotte/ Assi Plaza in Atlanta; $4.99 for a six pack. 4.5% ABV.

It is what it is; a palate cleanser between bites of Kimchi. A rice lightened lager intended for people who like easy-going beers, Hite's only stand-out quality is an above average bitter hop profile. Inoffensive, but there are way better Korean beers to be had. Aren't there?

Enjoyed several of these on tap, served in a logo stein, in a beer garden in Busan. Pours a golden yellow with a stark white head. Head stands up fairly well.
Aromas of grainy malt, little to no hop aroma.
Flavors of grainy malt, corn, no hop flavor. Finish is short, grainy, with a light carbonic bite.
Mouthfeel is light, not quite fizzy, good level of carbonation. Quenching.
Overall, not a bad beer for what it is. Nothing aggressive or offensive. Decent sessionable beer.

Presentation: 12oz can; Dude, it says "naturally fresh water" and "Fresh taste beer" on the can....shit, what did I get myself into?!
Smell: Very clean, light, and crisp; there's not a lot there, but what is is sweet and has a touch of malt
Taste: This is surprising; there's actually a light bit of malt and a decent hop twang; it's not great, but for the style, it's exceptional
Mouthfeel: Light/medium bodied
Drinkability: High
Conclusion: It is what it is, and what it is, is way above typical for the style

This beer is all about crisp refreshingness...dry, a bit tangy, nice bitterness, like one of those Japanese rice beers. Very good for thirst quenching with Korean food, nothing offensive to get in the way. Better than many of these macrolagers.

Pours crisply in my Sammy glass, good carbonation tries to keep the smallish white head going.
Whoo! Smell that Euro skunk! But the quaff is light and refreshing - somewhat like a beer club soda, touch of lime bubbles up ½ way though the 22oz bottle. There is not much going on here, but it doesn't present itself as a big hitter, either. It would be a decent summer session brew.
Has a certain sweetness that's not bad on a hot day, either.
Look for the soda style bottle.

If you can get past a bottle that looks a bit like Diet Sprite, this beer's not too bad. I've tried this at Koreatown (L.A.) sushi bars and have found it to be better than all the Japanese beers. It's not quite as grainy tasting as the Japanese beers and is more drinkable.

This definitely exceeds my expectations, and is exactly what I wanted - a refreshing, cold beer in an overheated room in winter!
A: Pale yellow, lots of carbonation, low head retention, completely clear - looks a bit like a clear cider.
S: Faint smell of apples, absence of skunkiness or grotty Asian lager stink.
T: For the style, this is quite acceptable. Refreshing, hardly any hoppiness, designed to quench the thirst and go down easily. It's fairly insipid, but that's right for the style.
M: Well, not much to it apart from the carbonation. But that also suits the style.
D: Very easy to drink. Perfect for a hot day or humid night.
Overall: Not a whole lot to dwell on here, but this is better than almost any other Asian beer I've had. A strange colour (very yellow and radioactive-looking) but it's refreshing and just what I was after.

That Age of Ultron Audio tho…..
The fucking Comic Con is over and the Marvel Fandom is like:
Not that I'm bitter about not being able to see the Age of Ultron trailer yet
I really, really, hate Warframe at the moment. I was so excited for the new warframe Mirage and the sword and shield weapon to come out. I even had traded away some stuff to get enough Platinum to rush the crap out of Mirage after the initial 12 hour wait on her Helmet, Systems, and Chassis. When I logged in I found out I had to build a Hidden Message just to begin building Mirage, I had to wait 6 hours until I could begin hunting for parts (which I rushed like an idiot). Then afterwards I had to solve a riddle to get to her helmet (Olympus on Mars for people still trying to figure it out). Once you get her helmet, you must wait 12 hours for it to build before beginning the second part of the quest (I rushed her Helmet because I was impatient), where you need to go to Calypso, Saturn to get her Systems and now I have to wait another 12 hours just to get the Chassis and after that I will have to wait 3 DAYS, yes, 72 HOURS to be able to use her because I exhausted my platinum already. I understand that this is a F2P game, but do we seriously need to go through excruciating process just to get the new Warframe? I don't have the $25 to shell out just to get her with real money (which is outrageous in its own right). Ugh, I have no choice but to bear through it. Sorry for the rant, but I was really excited for Update 14 and this killed all the hype I had left.
I forgot about the Sword and Shield. I need to research it in the Clan Dojo (which takes 3 days) just to get the Blueprint to build it and I am sure I will have to wait 12-24 hours after that just to get it. Oh well. Its F2P, I'll just wait it out I guess. Sorry again for the rant.
Keep in mind that I loved Warframe up until this situation. I don't mind the wait times at all, but how they changed it just to introduce their new Quest system bothers me because now we have to wait about 4 1/2 days for a warframe. I love a lot about U14, the Kubros, the UI, the Quest system is alright (except for Mirage quest). I kind of like how the planetary systems look now, they're much cleaner but just harder to navigate in my opinion. There were bugs earlier, like randomly disconnecting from Warframe which seemed to be resolved. You can join a public match with more than 4 people which glitches some objectives. The log in screen has no exit screen so you need to exit out if you are logged in, or by using Task Manager. I hope those get ironed out soon.

corner wine cupboard? I like this, but I'd also like this type of shelving layout for cookbooks in a spare corner near/in the kitchen (hahaha, in the kitchen. There's never a spare corner in those.)
We made it! Rope & wood shelves, Saw this and brought back memories of the one we made 33 years ago for our nursery. We placed baby quilts, blankets and stuffed animals on the shelves. The wood was painted yellow and only 4 shelves. We placed a knot in the rope under each wooden shelve to give it more character and it didnt hang this low to the floor..it was EASY...

Wrap the couch in bookshelves rather than have end tables. Our Living room isn't big enough to -wrap- them around, but I really like the idea of doing this against the back of the cough instead of trying to find a cheap sofa table, which has less storage. The only concern would be kids trying to climb them...

DLC for RE6? nawwwwww, capcom wouldn't.
^Just the Map, bro.
I(Setsuna Henry) like Kana Hanazawa & Yui Ogura and wish to CALL THEM EVERYDAY
I thought for sure they were both zombie maps to make it equal since there are 5 Javo Maps (SB, RY, HSF, LF, RfW) and only 3 zombie (UC, TC, MtD) and really they need another difficult zombie map since MtD and TC zombies are made of butter.
Then again, I'm really biased for zombie maps.
"Hey! Porky Pig! I hope you get molested!"

Yeah I really hope they're both zombie maps.
"Official Jill Valentine of the MvC3 boards!"
I hope that the new zombie stage(s) will be even more difficult than Urban Chaos.
I just love a challenge.
Does anyone know if more stages will be released or is this it?

I thought they were trying to make it sorta "even" by having
J'avo on SB, RY, HSF, RfW
Zombies on UC, TC, MtD, RtM
and Neo-J.avo on LF and CW.
But in the end I suppose neo-j'avo pretty much are just regular ones :v hopefully RtM is nice since I'm not much for Catacombs, and I never really get to play MtD :<
The good: New mercenaries maps
The bad: There will hardly be anybody playing those maps online in about 1-2 weeks after they are released
The ugly: The amount of "GOOD" mercenaries players that play online is becoming scarce.

MAGNANIMOUS, SMART 1930s TURKEY
When the Jews were evicted from Spain, they were welcomed to the Ottoman Empire. Their contribution has convinced the rulers of Anatolia that well educated Jews can be an asset. So, it should not be a surprise that unlike most of the world, Turkey most eager to modernize the country, was smart enough to welcome yet another stream of knowledgeable Jews. It was a true win win initiative of which the Turks can be most proud and us, Jews, eternally grateful. Arnold Reisman documentsTurkey's Invitations to Nazi-Persecuted Intellectuals Circa 1933: A Bibliographic Essay on History's Blind Spot. It is well worth savoring.

Guest Barry Ort reveals our Kenneth Jay Lane TSV
I'm thrilled to be offering you Today's Special Value, which is a unique version of the two strand faux pearl necklace made famous by the current First Lady.
It comes in a choice of colours - the Cream Pearl option for a glamorous look, as well as two brand-new colour choices - Pastel Blue and Pastel Pink - designed especially for the UK.
More about Kenneth Kay Lane
Mr Lane started making jewellery in the early 1960s and his designs immediately became sought after by celebrities, royalty and fashionistas throughout the world. Perhaps his first major success came when he started designing jewellery for Jacqueline Kennedy when she was America's First Lady. Her famous, triple-strand pearl necklace was an original Kenneth Jay Lane design.
Not only did they become great friends but Mr Lane's pearls became synonymous with First Ladies from then on. As a matter of fact, the famous Barbara Bush faux pearls from Kenneth Jay Lane are hanging in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC.
In 2009, Mr. Lane was honored to be asked to design a special necklace for an inaugural gala. As you all may know, the current First Lady is revered as a fashion icon and is rarely seen without pearls of some sort. When her official White House portrait was taken, there she was sporting a two-row pearl necklace.
Even though we are not 100% certain whether the ones she wore in the portrait are hers or a Kenneth Jay Lane version, the only information we can gather is that the pearls in the portrait are part of the First Lady's private collection.
I hope you can all tune in to hear the amusing and exciting stories about this Kenneth Jay Lane original as well as anecdotes about how honored I am to be working for and with a living design legend.
See you on QVC today (Sunday 21st February) at 12am - 2am, 10am, 1pm and 4pm.

$20k reward offered to help find Abigail; police say she may not have made it home
Carroll County Nursing Home resident Susan Strauch, at left, and social worker Lisa Howard show ribbons made by Strauch to help in the search for Abigail Hernandez.
Senior Associate Attorney General Jane Young echoed Ramsey's comments.
Hernandez was last seen leaving Kennett High School at about 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 9. Investigators said they have no information suggesting that she made it home that day. Initial reports that she had reached home were based on bad information, Young said.
But the investigation has not slowed down and will not slow down "in the foreseeable future," Ramsey said.
"Do we have her last location? No. Do we have a suspect in relation to her case? No. But we have a long checklist of things to do, and we have made significant progress on that checklist, and we have gathered some significant information."
"We have here a 15-year-old who had a very active presence on social media, and that activity has gone totally dark," he said.
The last time she was heard from, authorities said, was when a boy identified by family members as Hernandez' boyfriend, Jimmy Campbell, received a text from her at 2:53 p.m. Investigators on Wednesday asked area residents and businesses to help find the girl's cell phone, a white iPhone in a pink case, which last made contact with a cell tower on Cranmore Mountain at 3:07 p.m. Oct 9.
"Was the phone powered off, or did the battery die, we're not sure," Ramsey said.
More searches were conducted Thursday, and there was a scaled-down version of Wednesday's police roadblock traffic stops on the North-South Road, with officers stopping a few cars along the road to ask drivers if they had seen anything involving the girl that Wednesday.
The community, meanwhile, has come together to help find Hernandez and her family. That includes the "extended community" of Ossipee, where a resident of the county nursing home, the Mountain View Community, has made more than 300 yellow ribbons that say "Abby" on them and is giving them out, accepting donations.
"Our hope is that, given everything that family has had to deal with, Zanya doesn't have to worry about finances," he said. "We want to allow Zanya to have the choice when and how to return to work, so she doesn't have to make that decision out of financial need."
"We're not giving up hope. Abby, we miss you," she said. "Stay strong, do not give up."

Former political prisoners still bear scars of the old regime.
TUNIS, Tunisia — The dusk call to prayer echoes throughout the warren of alleyways near the Al Khadra medieval gate, summoning the Muslim faithful in this old medina as it has for hundreds of years.
But at the centuries-old Sidi Guisem mosque, change is in the air.
The small entrance to the mosque, once shut except for short periods five times daily during prayers, is now open around the clock. The Friday sermon there no longer ends with requisite praise to the country's former strongman president, Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.
And worshippers there say they are no longer scared to pray.
"The air in this mosque smells different now, like freedom," said Abdel Ghonni Binnour, 41. "Life is completely different now."
In the weeks since the ouster of Ben Ali, whose secular government brutally suppressed the nation's al-Nahda Islamist movement over his 23 years in power, conservatives in Tunisia are now reveling in the newfound freedom to worship.
But for Binnour — a member of al-Nahda — the freedoms did not come easily.
Binnour, along with 20 other members of the congregation at Sidi Guisem, spent years as a political prisoner in Ben Ali's notorious detention centers, where he was beaten, tortured and kept in isolation.
Thousands of Tunisia's Islamists were imprisoned throughout Ben Ali's 23 years in power.
Now, as Tunisia's interim government trudges forward to restore stability in the country and plan for the upcoming general election — scheduled for no later than July — preparations are underway to grant amnesty to all the political prisoners tried and held during the previous era.
And al-Nahda, once banned from participation in politics, is re-emerging and has officially applied for a party license.
Across the Arab world, from Tahrir Square to the streets of Bahrain, Tunisia has been seen as a model of inspiration by anti-government protesters similarly hoping to topple autocratic leaders.
But some in Tunisia — especially those who suffered the worst abuses under Ben Ali's repressive regime — are finding that overthrowing a corrupt leader is only the beginning. Former political prisoners, while dreaming of a new democratic post-revolutionary Tunisia, still bear scars of the old regime that will likely take years to heal.
"I've been out of prison since 1992," said Kamal Belgassem, a 48-year-old shopkeeper near the Sidi Guisem mosque. "But I still feel like I'm living in another prison."
Belgassem was arrested in 1991 while demonstrating at a political rally in solidarity with Iraqis during the first Gulf War. He was charged with belonging to a banned group, al-Nahda.
He is now almost completely deaf, after suffering repeated blows to his ears by interrogators during two stints as a political prisoner. Beatings on the soles of Belgassem's feet have permanently scarred his ankles, and he is unable to fit into shoes other than sandals.
"It wasn't always physical torture," said Belgassem. "Sometimes we were held in rooms next to people who were being tortured. We could hear people crying, then the guards would come in the room and say, 'You are next.'"
Ben Ali, ever fearful of an extremist takeover in Tunisia, had thousands of al-Nahda members jailed and summarily tortured during his 23-year reign.
The worst period was in the early 1990s, after al-Nahda won around 15 percent of the seats in the 1989 parliamentary election.
Ben Ali's internal security force was massive — around 200,000-strong — and ruled with fear and complete impunity, according to human rights groups.
Police would frequently follow citizens in the streets as an intimidation tactic to prevent activism, according to Erik Goldstein, deputy director of the Middle East and North Africa division of Human Rights Watch.
Some were arrested simply for visiting jihadi websites on their personal computers.
"With very few exceptions, political prisoners [under Ben Ali] were not people with blood on their hands," said Goldstein. "They were mostly arrested for non-violent crimes. And the government did not treat Islamists like normal prisoners."
Beatings, forced hangings from chains and extended periods of isolation were common for political prisoners.
Members of the security services were not immune either.
Police forces were sometimes arrested to serve as an example or warning to others, in order to maintain strict loyalty to the regime.

Maksim Viniarski, who went on dry hunger strike in prison, has seen health condition deteriorated
12:39, — Politics
The health of the coordinator of the European Belarus civic campaign causes concerns.
BelaPAN learnt about that from a human rights activist Julia Sciapanava.
Maksim Viniarski was detained by police on 22 April in Minsk at the exit of the Korona trade center. The police claimed the activist "looked similar to a wanted person", however already at the police station he was accused of insubordination to policemen and a protocol was composed on his administrative violation. On the same day the judge of the court of Minsk Frunze district Liudmila Lapo found Viniarski guilty and sentenced to a 12-day arrest.
On trial Viniarski, who suffering from a sore throat, felt bad. The ambulance doctors, who arrived, stated that he needed to be taken to a hospital, but the policemen claimed they would take him to an isolation center. In response Viniarski went on dry hunger strike, which he is still taking.
According to Julia Sciapanava, Viniarski feels bad and has a fever. He told her about that in a letter. "All that was done to me by the policemen of the MIA and Frunze district court is a provocation, - the convict's letter reads. – Such actions are inadmissible, and unless we oppose the system, they will never stop. My actions are thought through and right, I am convinced of the rightness of the position taken and I understand what sometimes has to be sacrificed for it. I am sure of the victory over the system in the situation, since almost any of the possible ways of how the situation may develop will show what a person is worth, who can stand for their beliefs".
On 25 April Viniarski was visited by his lawyer Volha Biezbarodkina. She confirmed that her client was on a dry hunger strike. After the visit the lawyer wrote a complaint addressed to the head of the isolation center on the subject that there was no light bulb in Viniarski's cell and therefor no possibility to read in the evening.

Using a Dremel tool to trim pet rat nails: The goal of using a Dremel tool is to round off a finger or toe nail tip, rather than snipping off a length of nail. Using fingernail clippers can often accidentally result in cutting below the quick, which may start bleeding that is difficult to stop. A Dremel tool doesn't lend itself to that dangerous mistake as long as it's used cautiously and correctly.
In this video, Dr. Anthony Pilny makes using a Dremel Tool to trim pet rats' nails look easy. In fact it is easy as long as several important requirements are met: (1) The human needs to be trained in advance to use a Dremel tool, (2) A helper human is required to hold the rat, (3) Use a small, slow-speed Dremel tool, (4) Train the rat in advance to accept the noise of the tool, (4) Train the rat in small steps, such as doing one nail at a time over several days, (5) Be sure to hold the toe being trimmed firmly, bracing it against the spin of the Dremel.
CAUTION IS THE NAME OF THE GAME. Dremel tools, if used improperly, can be dangerous. They can burn skin, or shave off part of a toe. If you have all the precautions in place, and are well trained, and have a helper human, using a Dremel tool can be a great alternative to human fingernail files or clippers.

When a majority of the Lords voted last week in favour of Lord Ramsbotham's amendment to the Offender Rehabilitation Bill, they highlighted concerns not only about the speed of the Transforming Rehabilitation reforms but also about their impact on the reducing reoffending and economic outcomes the government wants to tackle.
The risk identified by the Lords' debate is that the current drive for efficiencies of scale and reductions in cost may simply become a contractual 'race to the bottom'. Deeper understandings of offenders' needs and of the desistance process itself could then be lost in a 'one size fits all' approach to offender supervision. No matter how welcome the intention to rehabilitate short sentence prisoners, if the only way of achieving that is to dilute the quality of work done with the whole offender population, the final outcomes may be less than positive.
The last decade has seen a consistent drive from successive governments to increase procurement of public services from VCSE organisations. However, VCSE organisations' actual experience does not always match the top level policy intentions...
I am Policy Assistant here at Clinks and am currently writing a 'Guide to Desistance' for VCSE organisations. I would really like to get your input to the guide and would like to hear your thoughts on the questions at the end of this blog.

Romantic breakups can be messy. This one was criminal, police say.
Penndel Police responded early Sunday morning to a report of someone vandalizing a vehicle parked at Glen and Walker avenues.
When an officer arrived he found a silver Infinity sedan with extensive key marks on the exterior. The damage included offensive words carved into the passenger side in letters several inches big, police said.
Police contacted the owner of the Glen Avenue home, where the damaged vehicle was found. He told police he suspected his ex-girlfriend Katelyn Barker, 26, of Bristol was responsible, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
Earlier in the evening, the man told police that Barker had come to a home in the 60 block of West Lincoln Highway and punched him in the mouth. When the man arrived home later he noticed someone had entered the home and stole items, including a laptop computer, keys and an iPhone charger, police said.
On Monday, police spoke with Barker, who allegedly admitted to everything. She told police she struck her ex-boyfriend, then went to his home on Glen Avenue to retrieve her keys. When she got there, she saw the new girlfriend's car and keyed it with a house key, police said.
Then she entered her ex's house and took items including several rings, the laptop computer and a white bag, according to the affidavit. Police say her mother later returned the stolen items.
Barker was arraigned Tuesday on burglary, criminal trespassing, theft simple assault, receiving stolen property and criminal mischief. She was released on $25,000 unsecured bail.

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Brandon Phillips homered and finished with six RBI during a 3-for-5 effort at the plate, stealing some spotlight from starter Edinson Volquez in the Reds' 7-0 drubbing of the Marlins.
Volquez (4-2), coming off a one-hit, eight-inning start, gave up three hits and four walks in eight more scoreless frames. The 25-year-old Dominican also struck out seven in Cincinnati's fourth win in six games.
Jerry Hairston Jr. had two hits and three runs scored, while Joey Votto went 2-for-2 with three walks, two runs scored and an RBI for the victors.
Chris Volstad (2-1) suffered his first loss of the year, allowing four runs -- three earned -- on seven hits in six frames for Florida, which had lost three straight before winning the other game of this series in 14 innings on Monday.
Votto contributed to the Reds' first two runs, as he singled in Hairston in the first and used his legs to manufacture another tally in the third.
The up-and-coming first baseman drew a one-out walk, stole second, moved up another bag on John Baker's throwing error and came in to score when Phillips singled through a drawn-in infield.
Volquez faced the minimum before issuing a one-out walk to Baker in the fourth. Hanley Ramirez then laced a double into the left-field gap, but an 8-6-2 relay gunned down Baker at the plate as the score remained 2-0.
Cincy doubled its lead in the fifth, as Phillips singled to center with the bases loaded, bringing in a Willy Taveras and Hairston.
In the away seventh, Hairston doubled with two away, and Votto was given a free pass before Phillips crushed a Hayden Penn offering for a three-run homer down the left-field line.
Volquez stranded a Marlins runner in scoring position in the fifth, sixth and seventh frames and got an inning-ending double play in the eighth.
Nick Masset twirled a perfect ninth to finish off the shutout, the Reds' fourth in six games.
