The Joker Archives - Page 2 of 4 - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
The Joker charged with driving drunk in Maine
In his nearly 75-year career of villainy, The Joker has made it through some tough times: the Cesar Romero era, the loss of Harley Quinn … the loss of his, um, face. But this may be his low point.
According to the Waterville, Maine, Morning Sentinel, police arrested the Clown Prince of Crime early Sunday morning after he allegedly lost control of his 2002 Buick Regal and drove off the road, striking multiple trees and a rock.
Sixty-four-year-old Dennis Lalime of Pittsfield, Maine, who told police he was returning from a Halloween party, was subsequently charged with operating under the influence. Although the Pittsfield Police Department uncovered The Joker's true identity, as you can see from his booking photo, the Somerset County Jail permitted him the
indignity dignity of retaining most of his makeup.
Commissioner James Gordon had no comment on the arrest. Repeated calls to Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel went unanswered.
NYCC '13 | Actor Troy Baker performs 'Killing Joke' monologue
Actor Troy Baker (Final Fantasy XIII, BioShock Infinite) has some enormous shoes to fill as he steps into the role of The Joker — a character voiced for the past two decades by Mark Hamill — in the upcoming Batman: Arkham Origins. If there were any remaining doubts as to whether Baker could embody the Clown Prince of Crime, they were likely erased during the video game's New York Comic Con panel, where Baker performed The Joker's monologue from Batman: The Killing Joke, to the roaring approval of a cheering crowd.
Watch the video below. Batman: Arkham Origins will be released Oct. 25.
Watch Simon Bisley paint The Joker in 'Shock of Green'
I love the word "gestation." All those different hard and soft sounds to roll around your mouth; affricates, fricatives, sibilants, glottal stops, all there in one meaning-pregnant (in all senses) word. There's a standard table of units critics use for the gestation period of a work of art. Did it take as long to complete as the average Scott Walker LP? Or, for something a little bit longer, it's a James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake.
This movie took two years to complete, which is quite a modest timescale by my increasingly geological sense of chronology, although it's just a record of one man completing one painting. That said, that one man is Simon Bisley, and that one painting is a mural-sized image of The Joker, so the resultant combination is indeed worthy of epic status (the running time for the movie stretches to about 10 minutes short of two hours, with the action alternating between real-time and time-lapse sequences).
"Batman kills The Joker…That's why it's called 'The Killing Joke'"
While the big news to come out of Kevin Smith's new "Fatman on Batman" interview with Grant Morrison is the new title for his long-teased Wonder Woman graphic novel, the most interesting part of the discussion may be when the subject turns to Batman: The Killing Joke.
The influential 1988 one-shot, by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland, is perhaps best remembered for The Joker's shooting of Barbara Gordon, leaving the once and future Batgirl paraplegic. But after listening to Morrison's interpretation of the book's ending, Smith realizes the impact of The Killing Joke is far greater: "Alan Moore secretly wrote the last Batman story."
'Joker Rising' fan film explores origin of Batman's greatest foe
Smoking Alien Productions has debuted the rough cut of Joker Rising, a fan film billed as "the dark and gritty story of the early days of the Joker and how he became what we know him as today."
Clocking in at about 1 hour and 20 minutes, the film draws inspiration from director Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, recasting familiar Gotham City villains like Killer Croc, The Penguin and The Riddler in a crime drama that's light on costumes and masks. The filmmakers say they're considering using Joker Rising as the foundation for a "Gotham crime trilogy," with other members of the Dark Knight's rogues gallery receiving the same dark treatment.
Comics A.M. | National Organization for Marriage responds to Card backlash
Comics| Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, expressed dismay about the backlash to DC Comics hiring sci-fi author, and outspoken gay-rights opponent, Orson Scott Card to write Adventures of Superman. Card is a board member of the organization, which works against the legalization of same-sex marriage. "This is completely un-American and it needs to be stopped," Brown said. "Simply because we stand up for traditional marriage, some people feel like it's OK to target us for intimidation and punishment." NOM last year launched boycotts of Starbucks and General Mills because of their support of same-sex marriage initiatives. [The Huffington Post]
Retailing | Gabi Shepherd, owner of Olympic Cards and Comics in Lacey, Washington, talks about the importance of courting teenagers, who are often not welcome in other retail stores: "I have found that if I am going to make this the community center that I want to make it then the kids are a big part of that. It makes them feel good when they come in and someone knows who they are. It's important. It's respect." [ThurstonTalk]
Balloonless | The Law of Superheroes
James Daily and Ryan Davidson intend to prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that every subject, even one as dry and forbidding as the law, is more fun when you add superheroes. Exhibit A: The Law of Superheroes, their new book based on their blog Law and the Multiverse, which seeks to do for their area of expertise what James Kakalios' 2006 book The Physics of Superheroes did for his.
I lack a black robe and a gavel, so I'm not certain exactly how authoritative my judgment on this particular case can be, but I think the pair did a rather admirable job. I can't say in good conscience that their book is a rollicking, can't-put-it-down read — even with superheroes, it's still a book about the law and other, um, legal stuff — but it's certainly interesting, and, for those of us coming at it as longtime comics fans, it presents new ways of thinking about classic characters and their weekly adventures.
The book's 13 chapters are divided into rather broad subjects like constitutional law, criminal law, international law and so forth, and breaks the subject down further with various articles falling under each chapter's subject, pulling examples from comic books (and a few movies based on comic books, particularly the Christopher Nolan-directed Batman movies, Iron Man and the Spider-Man movies).
So, for example, the chapter on constitutional law contains articles on mutant rights, superpowers and the Second Amendment, forcible removal of superpowers, the death penalty as it might apply to immortal or nigh-invulnerable characters, and so on. It's discussion of the law that mainly drives the book's construction; where the superheroes come in is when it's time to apply that law to the Marvel and DC universes (as well as the Ultimate universe and movie universes and so on). Copious footnotes are provided to direct an interested reader back to particular comics stories or particular laws and court rulings.
Scott Snyder on Batman, 'Rotworld' and American Vampire's hiatus
Scott Snyder was already one of DC Comics/Vertigo's rising stars when he began writing Detective Comics two years ago. In fall 2011, as part of DC's New 52, Snyder moved over to the main Batman title and began writing Swamp Thing as well. His Batman work has helped put the title on a number of best-of-2012 lists, Swamp Thing is in the midst of the "Rotworld" crossover, and his collaboration with Jim Lee on a new Superman title will begin in 2013. American Vampire is going on hiatus for most of the year, but that will help him and artist Sean Murphy debut The Wake. I spoke with Snyder on Dec. 13, just after Batman #15 was published.
Thanks to Scott for his time, and to DC's Alex Segura and Pamela Mullin for making the interview possible.
Tom Bondurant: I don't know about the preliminaries [but] I will say that one phrase that kept coming to mind when I was thinking about interviewing you was that line from Ghostbusters: "How is Elvis, and have you seen him lately?"
Scott Snyder: [laughs] Thanks! Well, I'm a huge Elvis fan, so that really starts the day off right, hearing that.
Grumpy Old Fan | After the end of the world
Last week's solicitation roundup included the prediction that "Death of the Family" would kill young Damian Wayne. As most of you know, Damian is supposed to be about 11 years old, was raised by the League of Assassins, and has served (for the past "year or so" of comic-book time) as the latest Robin, the Boy Wonder. The solicitations were strangely silent concerning him, and thanks to the peculiarities of comic-book deaths, I figured he could take it.
That was last Thursday.
Since last Friday, I have rolled around that morbid prediction in my head, along with countless other real-world doomsday scenarios and nightmare moments. I am a fantastically lucky individual, and that is not meant as any kind of boast. I mean it simply to say that nothing remotely horrible has happened to me — no broken bones, no extended hospital stays, no natural disasters; and certainly nothing as devastating as my child's death.

Comics A.M. | Tokyo's Comic Market receives threat letter
Conventions | Organizers of Tokyo's Comic Market (aka Comiket), the world's largest self-published comic book fair, have received a threat letter, leading them to consider their options for the planned Dec. 29-31 event. The preparations committee said it has been in contact with local police and the Tokyo Big Sight, where the semiannual convention is held. The incident follows a series of threat letters containing powdered and liquid substances sent in the past month to more than 20 locations linked to Kuroko's Basketball creator Tadatoshi Fujimaki. About 560,000 attended Comic Market 82 over its three days in August (that's turnstile attendance, not unique visitors). [Anime News Network]
Creators | Patrick Rosenkranz catches us up on S. Clay Wilson, who suffered a massive brain injury in 2008 (the cause isn't clear) and is still recovering. "Wilson's favorite word is still 'No!' He used to be a motor mouth but now he's mostly monosyllabic. After a long life dedicated to being the baddest boy in comix, he's become a grand old man, but he's no longer in his right mind. He used to be able to out-talk, out-booze, out-cuss, out-draw, and outrage almost anyone but he doesn't drink, smoke, snort or draw dirty pictures any more. He doesn't walk much either and seldom leaves the house, and only in a wheelchair." [The Comics Journal]
The comic book LP cover art parodies of Uwe De Witt
German artist Uwe De Witt draws mainstream comics characters in an expressionistic but commercial style. He's clearly a fan of the comics from the schools of Ben Templesmith, Bill Sienkiewicz and Simon Bisley. As well as publishing new images of Spawn every Monday, he regularly posts pastiches of old album art with comic book characters inserted into them. Some work better than others, when the original cover image and character choice make sense together, or as a visual pun: other times it's just drawing bloomin' X-Force for its own sake, really. But when it works, it really works. More examples below. (via Dangerous Minds)
Art Barrage | Problematic art special!
Apparently, 2000AD group editor Matt Smith has nixed this Judge Dredd cover by Jason Latour. The specter of Frank Miller's ill-fated cover commission was apparently raised. This must remain a sore subject with Tharg. Personally, I like this image, and can't see anything wrong with it, but then, I've berated Smith for playing it safe with his art choices before and probably will again. More problematic work below — Steve Rude takes a controversial gig; Gary Erskine risks a stay in the Tower for treason; Graeme Neil Reid illustrates the most violent, foulmouthed superheroes of them all; Jim Woodring takes my theme's title and makes it concrete, and more. And as usual, you may reckon some of this material is NSFW.
This Joker pumpkin is simply … smashing
Here's a Halloween treat: Feast your eyes on this amazing pumpkin sculpture of The Joker by ace pumpkin carver Andy Bergholtz. It took him eight hours to do, and Yahoo has a short video of the creation process (below). DC Comics commissioned the pumpkin as part of its Super-Villains Month, which also included an invitation for fans to vote for the ultimate super-villain team; The Joker was the runaway winner.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., March 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The first step in defining a corporate value proposition is clearly identifying how an organization's products and/or services vary from their competitors- or what sets them apart. If a company cannot define a unique characteristic or benefit of their product, customers may default to the most basic option of differentiation – price. For the pharmaceutical industry, defining a clear corporate value proposition is absolutely essential, as playing the low-price game is a lose-lose proposition- even when they make sales.
Although establishing a positive corporate image is critical, the pharmaceutical industry is currently missing out on building corporate image. According to recent primary and secondary research conducted by benchmarking firm, Best Practices, LLC, no pharmaceutical company cracked the top 100 Social Brands list in 2010. Despite this, this does represent a great opportunity for pharmaceutical companies to begin considering how to best present their value proposition to consumers, advocacy groups and health care providers.
The report, "Best Practices in Building Your Corporate Value Proposition," outlines valuable insights and findings from primary and secondary research around the value of building a positive company brand. The study will help corporate leadership to understand the importance of a corporate brand.
Key study topical areas include:
- Understanding Corporate Value
- Johnson & Johnson Case Study: Origin On Trust
- G.E. Healthcare's Healthymagination

Newer Building Projects in Middle East Less Sustainable than Decade Old Constructions, says Expert
Saeed Alabbar of AESG argues that improper usage of technology and focus on aesthetics and modern designs have actually made buildings in the region less efficient than before; he suggests measures that need to be taken to address this
October 7, 2012 11:20 by Colin_Saldanha
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates- 04 October 2012- Whilst the term 'Green Buildings' is relatively new to the Middle East region, the concept itself has been around in the region for generations. In the early decades of the 20th century, building construction was extremely sustainable due to the lack of availability of centralized electricity and water supply and the use of only local building materials. However, as the Middle East entered the 21st century, globalization bought with it many ideas and design concepts from the West and fully glazed, tall skyscrapers began dominating the skylines of the regions major cities. The use of fully glazed and therefore poorly insulated facades can be argued to be an inappropriate design concept for the climate in the region, however the concept was frequently used to showcase modernity in new buildings.
Saeed Alabbar, Director at AESG notes that local building codes have been evolving during this time to incorporate some of the fundamental features of Green buildings, predominantly with a focus on insulation. For example in Qatar, the Gulf Organization for Research and Development has introduced the Global Sustainability Assessment System (previously QSAS) while in Abu Dhabi, developers are mandated to follow the Estidama Pearl Rating System.
"Whilst these are steps in the right direction and local governments should be praised there are still fundamental issues that need addressing in the industry. Despite all the measures being taken, the construction industry is still unfortunately in a position where buildings being constructed today consume more energy per square meter of floor area than buildings constructed in the 1970's. There are factors which need immediate consideration if the concept of green building is to truly gain momentum in the region," said Saeed.
Developers need to start talking about a building's energy use intensity, the energy consumption per square meter, rather than comparing buildings to theoretical baselines.
Quality control in the integrity of building envelopes needs major improvement. Some fantastic analysis goes into building designs to select the right glass and insulation but quite often all this good work is lost during construction as insulation and facades are installed poorly with high levels of thermal bridging and air leakage. In many cases it is not only the contractors but the architects who are at fault. There is really little use in specifying the top of the range insulation if heat is allowed to pass through all the exposed elements of the building. Major savings in energy can be made by addressing this rather simple issue, which would not cost that much to fix.
There is need for the discussion of green buildings to move into the realm of building operation. There is a lot of talk about green design and green construction but the objectives seem to stop once the building is completed and received its rating. Buildings do not consume energy while they are being built. They only consume energy when they are occupied so this should be the most important phase of a green buildings life and we need to pay more attention to the energy efficiency of building operation and begin reporting the energy use intensity of existing buildings.
Before trying to adopt the highest technology of systems in buildings, developers need to make sure that those systems will be commissioned properly. Far too often when we look at existing buildings we see the most expensive, highest spec building management system turned off because it is not working properly or the operators do not know how to use it. Bridging the interface between construction and operation, through proper commissioning, is essential, particularly now as buildings are becoming more and more high-tech.
Despite these issues, there is a lot of great change that has happened in the industry over the past few years and the government and private sector are both making great strides in the realm of sustainable buildings. However, the industry cannot afford to rest on its laurels and respond to the fundamental questions of how to really make buildings better.

Friday photos
New camera + recent trip to the U.K. = many occasions for shooting photos. So a few images from our recent trip.
We are N
That's no happy face there – it's the current yellow badge, or Judenstern, of Iraq. The N', or ن in Arabic, is the symbol used by the Islamic State (ISIS) to identify who is a Nazarene – a Christian. It has been drawn on doorways and painted on house-fronts in captured Iraqi cities, allowing ISIS militia to sort through identities and loyalties.
A number of months ago I met and listened to the Bishop of Baghdad, Canon Andrew White. He spoke compellingly of the persecution of the church he loved in Iraq. Recently he wrote that the end may be near for Christians in Iraq. Please pray for the persecuted Christians of Iraq.
This, or any, persecution is important for us in the West to pay close attention to, for a number of reasons. First, the persecution of Christians across the world is probably one of the biggest human rights issues that largely happens without protest. A Nov. 27, 2013 National Post article outlined how there have been more Christian martyrs in the 20th century than in the 1,900 years that came before. And in 2010, the Toronto Star called Christianity the most persecuted religion in the world. On a large scale aimed at a specifically designated population, basic human rights are trampled but so little protest is raised. My stubborn agnostic friend, Richard Handler, writes a chastening piece here for all Christians, wondering why aren't we raising our voices in solidarity.
Secondly, for the most part, Western Christians aren't persecuted, and in order to maintain our identity as people of the cross it is good for us to keep in touch with persecution. Persecution sharpens your identity as a Christian. That's how Jesus shapes his beatitude on persecution – it's about Jesus and our identification with him. "Blessed are you when you are persecuted because of me." Persecution is all about how closely we identify with Jesus.
Both reasons send me to my knees – the first in solidarity with brothers and sisters who are suffering horribly for the sake of Jesus. The second for myself, scared I don't have a faith that's even worth persecuting.
Friday Photos
The great urbanist Jane Jacobs observed that the presence of children in the city is a sign of urban health. She was echoing the prophetic words of Zechariah who pictured God's salvation in the earthy terms of a safe city: "The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there." (Zech. 8:5).
That's one of the reasons we're raising our family in the city, encouraging other families to take the same adventure. I love the thought that simply the presence of my kids on the sidewalks and streets of the city is a witness, a little icon of God's renewing work.
Which makes this photo a favourite.
The crime of living cautiously
Posted by phil in Interesting stuff, Joy, Spirituality on June 3, 2014
Ours is an age of anxiety; we idolize security, seeking to live ruling out risk or failure. Exhibit # 1,043: helicopter parents hovering protectively over their children's bubble-wrapped lives.
Doesn't that seem a bad way to live? Jesus seemed to think so. I love Eugene Peterson's paraphrase of Jesus' parable of the talents, the master says to the cautious, one-talent servant "It's a crime to live cautiously like that." In the end, the Master did away with this servant: "get rid of this "play-it-safe" who won't go out on a limb."
Why? Because risk seems to be an important part of God's economy of love; because you can't love without risking; because love is the power that cannot co-exist with anxious fear – it drives it out. In God's Kingdom, there's a shocking freedom to risk because there's nothing that can put you beyond the reach of God's scandalously beautiful grace. I'm so easily seduced into thinking this is a dangerous world. There's a weight of evidence that leads to question there is a good God at the helm. But Jesus keeps telling me the Father is good and keeps calling me to follow, to risk, just like God.
Because God is love, God risks. Didn't God take an awful risk when he created us in the liberty of love, free to love and follow him or free to flip him off and reject him? Crazy risk; crazy love; crazy, beautiful God.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn asks a question I need to pose every day to myself: "If one is forever cautious, can one remain a human being?"
Think about that … and then watch the Flight of the Frenchies below. You won't catch me walking a slack-line over a mountain gorge but the Frenchies remind me of the freedom that comes from living with a powerful awareness that I am held in the hands of a very good God.

Saints? for sure (part 2)
Posted by phil in Church, Interesting stuff, Spirituality on May 16, 2014
A few weeks ago Pope Frances canonized two pontifical predecessors, Paul XXIII and John-Paul II. In my last post on Saints, I looked at the fairly chronic aversion to saints and yet explored the warm biblical use of the term and concept of saints. Ok, so what now? How then might saints function in the Christian life? How can we recover the promise of saints without abusing or discarding them?
The most basic response is to recognize who we are. Here's the truth: you and I, we are saints – St. Jeremy and St. Jane, St. Theresa and St. Todd. More often than not, that's hard to believe about the cranky senior, the mother who makes her children the target of her temperamental anger, the middle-aged man who creates discomfort among young women with his breast-high gaze or the sullen teenager. Yet by naming you and me as saints, the Bible provides a lens through which we can being to see one another more clearly. Recovering the status of saints trains us to see in others more of God than of the sin that smudges our lives and trips us up.
But what about the larger company of saints: all those Christians who have gone before? Is there a place and a role for them in the Christian life? Indeed, saints can function in a way that is analogous to good theology. We value and appreciate the health demonstrated in clear, sharp thinking about God, which, in turn, helps us to respond in love to God. Sharp theological understanding is vital to the life of faith.
Equally indispensable are the courageous examples of gospel lives that the saints provide. As one character notes in Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, "What is Christ's word without an example?" North America has a cultural pantheon of celebrities and politicians who give polished performances in how to live badly (remember now, I live in the city of Toronto). In this "bad as you want to be world" of Charlie Sheens and Rob Fords, we could use a few saints to show us how to be as holy, gracious, and human as Christ calls us to be.
Saints, then, are witnesses to the truth. They call our attention to the gospel in the ordinary conditions of human living. They are, as author Kathleen Norris notes, "Christian theology torn from the page and brought to life." (The Cloister Walk). They offer fresh demonstrations of the holiness and grace of God in the everyday moments of our lives.
Very often, however, the life of a saint is rather unsettling, which may explain some of our wariness about them. Saints of the past have been misunderstood because, to be honest, they are a rather curious crowd (think, for example, of the pillar of peculiarity, Simeon of Stylites, who sat perched on a pole for 30-odd years).
Saints are very much like the characters in the stories of Flannery O'Connor, who suggested that for people to hear the truth, she had to create exaggerated characters. Similarly, G.K. Chesterton once noted that "a Saint is one who exaggerates what the world neglects." Take Therese of Liseaux, for example. In our success-oriented age of "bigger is better," Therese's obscure and apparently insignificant life teaches us of the beauty in simplicity and smallness. Or what about Francis of Assisi, who demonstrates a life of abundance not in material wealth but in the sheer goodness and bounty of creation? Saints from ages past provide a needed jolt to our culturally blunted awareness of holiness and grace. They offer a sharp prick of Kingdom reality to our understanding of the gospel.
We need the saints. They are gifts from God to the church, teaching us how a holy life works, showing us the exuberance of a gospel life. The wonderful biblical truth is that God has placed us in a long and large historical community of believers, the "communion of the saints." It is a bloodline of sorts, a family tree filled with a fantastic collection of wild and wooly characters, all animated by grace.
So while the Roman Catholic Church officially declares of John and John Paul II to be what the gospel proclaimed they already were in this life – saints – why not locate a few saints whose lives freshly demonstrate the gospel in beautiful ways. Take a moment to inventory some of those people whose lives are the gospel brought to life – who is on your list of saints? Thank God for their lives and let them challenge you to more grace-filled living.
But better yet, go to your church, reminding yourself of what the gospel declares of these people and yourself, and enjoy the company of the saints right around you.
Saints? Maybe (part 1)
Posted by phil in Uncategorized on May 8, 2014
A few weeks ago Pope Frances canonized two pontifical predecessors, Paul XXIII and John-Paul II. The whole process of making saints is a fascinating subject that many Christians have long had a strong aversion, almost an allergic reaction, to any notion of saints. That response is rooted in the real allergens of saint abuses. The growth of the "cult of saints" developed with what John Calvin called "a manifold disposition to superstition." The blurred lines between admiration and adoration, the mythic tales of morality and miracles of the saints have been irritants to a biblically informed heart.
Yet isn't there something noteworthy about all these saints? Even the original Reformer, Martin Luther, held out some place for the saints, mentioning that "next to Holy Scripture there certainly is no more useful book for Christians than the lives of the saints." Can we make a case for recovering saints?
The bible seems to support that notion. The term "saints" is a robustly biblical word. In fact, it is one of the most common biblical descriptors for God's people in general. But what does it really mean? Popularly understood, a saint is a spiritual superhero, someone who has lived an unparalleled life of moral excellence. Pope Innocent IV said that a saint is one who has lived a life of "continuous, uninterrupted virtue." The Bible, however, seems to point us in more modest directions.
Think of the biblical saints, the characters that populate our stories of faith – boozy Noah; shifty-eyed con artist Jacob; Moses, a man on the lam from the law; Samson, driven more by his sexual appetite than by God's Spirit; David, the royal peeping tom who tries to pull the wool over everyone's eyes to cover us his misdeeds. It doesn't get any better when we look at the New Testament – disciples quibbling of their status; turncoat Peter; skeptical Thomas; and Saul, the persecuting pit-bull who had his first taste of Christian blood at Stephen's stoning. Sometime later, this Saul – now Paul – writes to the contentious Corinthian church, addressing a community that is at the same time engaged in divisive litigation and illicit sex, a church more often concerned with a spiritual high than with the simple call to help the poor and hungry among them. Yet in these people, whose lives are quite regularly interrupted by vice and moral defect, Paul spies holiness. He names them "saints."
The biblical vision of sainthood quite obviously differs from conventional wisdom. The biblical truth is that being a saint has more to do with what God is doing than with what we do or fail to do. We can call these biblical character "saints" because, although disfigured by sin, they are animated by a greater grace. A saint is one whose life displays, to varying degrees, the grace of God. A holy life, then, is best conceived of not as a life of virtue but more as a virtuoso displace of God's grace in a sometimes muddied and muddled life.
While this may disappoint some, it is, in fact, the genius of grace and saints. The importance of saints to us isn't in unattainable sanctity and often-fudged virtue, but in their real, accessible – and sometimes peculiar – humanity. The beauty of the saints is not that we see moral perfection or heroic devotion to be striven after, but that we see a grace at work that is available to all, even in the midst of the fallenness and foibles of our own lives.
As poet Margaret Avison writes,
The best
must be, on earth
only the worst in course of
being transfigured. ("A Basis" in NOT YET but STILL)
So how then might saints function in the Christian life without a canonization ceremony? How can we recover the promise of saints without abusing or discarding them? Let's explore that in the next post but for the meantime start viewing others through that lens of "saint."

Love this statogram! Hope my suggestion doesn't come off "jerky" but I wonder if the dashes before the scores are necessary. At first glance, they look like negative numbers. Thanks for all the hard work you do on this every week. I look forward to the visual summary after each game.
I appreciate your sentiment, but Bert??? I gotta draw the line in the sand somewhere and Bert is not on my side of the line.
That should be an official form of internet browsing measurement.
It's almost like e you can feel when Bosa is going to make a play. He is "clutch" in every sense of the word!
So there is now proof that Craft isn't not awesome at every single thing he attempts. The disillusionment is devastating.
You've just doomed OSU and the spread...thanks for that. :)
Where's the bagman when you need him?
Dang, great memory...I had almost forgotten about that one (doesn't ask me how). I'll rank Devin Smith's one hand grab his freshman year above both of those but only by a little.
That's definitely not Optimistic, Buck.
Hey! What's wrong with slip on Vans??? No, seriously.
Simmer down...he was just asking a point of clarification referencing an earlier comment you made.
LOL. You're right. He tackled both at the same time. Dang, I'm glad he's a Buckeye.
This post is confusing. Unless I'm reading something wrong, he wasn't slamming Bosa. I think you misinterpreted what he was saying and ran with it (to the wrong end zone).
I fully trust Warinner to have the OL clicking by the time B1G play starts. Let's hope that they can still put up W's in the meantime. I'm not so worried about JT. He's not Braxton, but we would all have been totally happy before the game if we knew he had would have the stats he finished with yesterday.
Thanks for the strike through. It annoys me to no end when people reference players as "former" Buckeyes.
Yeah, really. He has evidently been shielded from the Bauserman highlight reel.
Wow, I just checked the score. They got creamed...man handled by the Aggies defense.
That is about the wittiest comment I've seen on this site for quite some time. I had to scroll back up and verify. You nailed it and I literally laughed out loud!
I'm not shocked, but I'm extremely disappointed.
I love EZE BUT 1300 yards? I do not see it happening. To much competition for touches, even with Miller out of the equation. But my, how I hope you're right and I'm wrong.
I sprained my ankle once. It hurt really bad too.
This is exactly what I was thinking as well.
Pretty please?

After seeing his exploits with the ball in the ongoing Indian Premier League, legendary spinner Bishen Singh Bedi wants to help Yuvraj Singh fine-tune his bowling skills further, says Yograj Singh, father of the Kings XI Punjab skipper. Yuvraj notched up the first hat-trick of the second edition of the IPL against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. "Bishen is keen to work on Yuvraj's bowling. Bishen and I had a chat in this regard and once Yuvi returns from South Africa, we will sit together and see how to proceed," former Test cricketer Yograj told PTI here today. Yuvraj took the hat-trick at Kingsmead, Durban, the same ground where he had hit six sixes off Stuart Broad in a World T20 match in September 2007. Yograj was also of the opinion that if Yuvraj works a bit on his bowling technique he can become a 'lethal' bowler. "I have also been trying to work on Yuvraj's bowling. At the moment, his right leg bends slightly and then the release of the ball, which should have been from over six to six-and-a-half feet, comes down to around five feet. "I firmly believe if the release of the ball is from 6 feet above, Yuvraj can become a lethal bowler," Yograj said. He, however, said that at the moment Yuvraj was using his thumb with the arm ball very effectively to dodge batsmen. "Until recently, no one had thought of Yuvraj as a bowler, but if he has the potential, we must exploit it and use it for the team's benefit," he said, adding he hopes his son can take 300 Test wickets.

"In this day of technology, we can do that electronically for free," Duncan said. "The first thing that we do is send everything out through email regarding events like Homecoming and big events on campus. We also send out an electronic e-newsletter about once a quarter, and that includes news, announcements and event schedules."
Duncan said they also reach out to Tech alumni using sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter to get the word out about what is happening on Tech's campus.
James Jones, Tech alumnus, said the Tech Alumni Relations department does keep in contact with him frequently.
"They send me stuff all the time in the mail," Jones said. "They send me things like what events that are going on, what is new on campus and even the sports program will try to get me to sign up for season tickets every year for football, baseball and basketball."
Importance of Alumni
Lucas Flatt, Tech alumnus, said it is important to be an alumnus of Tech.
"I think that Tech has a history of success with graduates and alumni," Flatt said. "With the training I have got from teaching composition in the master's degree program, I think their training is excellent, so I do feel like I have gotten a lot out of being an alumni."
Duncan said the importance of alumni is to help out the university by giving back not just financially but by spreading the word about the campus.
"A lot of people assume that just means giving back financially, but it also means that we need our alumni who are employers to hire our students," Duncan said. "We also want neighbors to tell their neighbors' kids or grandkids about Tennessee Tech and to encourage them to visit the campus."
James Jones, Tech alumnus, said he also believes there's a big importance to being a Tech alum.
"It's a top quality school," Jones said. "I met a lot of people, and I have learned a lot. Tech was a big influence in my life, and Tech still is a big influence in my life."
Duncan said Homecoming is important because it is a long tradition of the school and for the alumni to come together to see what all has changed.
"Homecoming is more of a tradition that goes back a long time," Duncan said. "It's for alumni to come back to campus and enjoy and see what has happened since they graduated."
Jones said Homecoming is important to him because he can spend time with his greek brothers and see other alumni he wouldn't get to see otherwise.
"Homecoming for me is a good thing, and I enjoy it," Jones said. "Homecoming is where I get to meet other alumni from other greek organizations that I got to know. It's the one time of year that I get to see other greeks that I knew."
Duncan said Tech offers alumni other services, such as insurance through Liberty Mutual.
"We have insurance programs, for example, where you can get auto and home insurance for a discount because they are part of the Alumni Association," Duncan said. "We offer long term care insurance, short term health insurance and travel programs."
Duncan said Alumni Relations is trying to improve on collecting updated emails so they can better contact Tech alumni and update its directory.
"The number one thing is obtaining more email addresses," Duncan said. "We keep about 50 percent of email addresses from alums, so we don't have email addresses from the other half. We are asking at events, and at our annual phone-athon callers get emails."
Flatt said he hasn't received a phone call or email in a while.
"They might try to contact me through my Tech accounts, but I don't have access to them anymore," Flatt said. "I also haven't updated my information either, so that is my fault for not setting the email up to be forwarded."

Cracking Open the Palm Pre
In the box
Full Bio
Mark Kaelin is a CBS Interactive Senior Editor for TechRepublic. He is the host for the Microsoft Windows and Office blog, the Google in the Enterprise blog, the Five Apps blog and the Big Data Analytics blog.
Now tell me, just how many out there could repair one of these things without a $5,000 rework station and a scanning electron beam microscope? Then all you'd have to do is get the parts assuming you knew what part was defective. Very interesting however seeing just how much engineers can cram into a tiny space. It never ceases to amaze me. I started my career in vacuum tubes and point to point hand wiring. True, I'm a dinosaur.
Can data and programs on the T/X be loaded on to the Pre?
nice work
Palm might be on the way of restoring my "faith" in them! Time will tell! :)
I saw this in a commercial and I was really disappointed that the keyboard slid out the bottom. I would guess that this was so they wouldn't have the complexity of rotating the screen. My thoughts is that it looks a lot like a blackberry. I will be interested to see if this platform take off. Bill
Mr. TechRepublic Editor Guy.. would you PLEASE change the layout of these, so that the text and picture is in the top left? I'm on a laptop with a 14" screen, at 1280x800, and I have to scroll every time to read the text below the pictures, as well as see the whole picture.. not cool. Bad Layout. Evil, Naughty, Horrible layout. /rant.
Check your spelling!
So did it work when you put it back together? I all I really care about is; does it work? And does it do what it is supposed to do?
Excellent job done ! keep it up ! very useful ! Thanks ! -Mofassir
Good job tearing it apart. Put it back together and let's see it work.
My treo 700 let mje use categories to help organize contacts, tasks, etc. into groups. The Pre doesn't. This is a big disadvantage
this smartphone just looks perfect... i really like it
RE the mirror distortion...palm are smart enough to do a Hubble type modification a built in sort of lens to correct the effects of the curvature
So how big of a deal is it that there is no micro SD slot?
Looks good, did you manage to re-assemble without breaking anything?
I'm in full agreement, even with a desktop display. Please change the layout.
Same problem here
You need to be as meticulous in your communications skills as you are in your disassembly skills.

The 'What' and the 'How' of great photography!
This video by Joel Grimes ties in nicely with one of my prior posts about How to Become an Outstanding Photographer. Joel talks about what makes a great photograph, and his main point is that photographers get sucked into the technical side too much. Creating a great photograph is a creative process, above anything else. Of course, the technical side is important, but all the photography gear, all the shooting techniques and all the post-processing tricks are just tools. It's your creative vision that counts. Therefore, you should ask the 'What' questions before you ask the 'How' questions.
Sunset Palace
Solitude Palace is a beautiful place just outside of Stuttgart, Germany that has become one of the recreational attractions. It's a great vantage point to view across the Württemberg lowlands. The palace has been built in the 18th century as a hunting lodge and summer residence. This is actually one shot from an entire bracketing series shot for an HDR image, but I decided to use only one of the frames to demonstrate the power of the Easy Preset System.
How to become an outstanding photographer
Wow, that is a bold title for a blog post, isn't it? And I bet you're expecting a fool-proof list of actions that will make you outstanding – maybe a list of gear or a set of techniques that will take you there. But what I will tell you in this post is of a different nature. It is not about gear or techniques – it is about you and your attitude towards photography or any other creative passion you may pursue.
16 Top Photography eBooks to Step Up Your Game
What's the best way to invest in your photography? You may buy a new camera, some lenses or a crazy new tripod, that's for sure. But will this make you any better as a photographer? You have to be strong now, because the answer is… wait for it… NO! New gear is great, and we all have a gear acquisition syndrom to a some degree, but the only thing that will really make you take better pictures is Education!
In this post, I am sharing mini reviews of 16 asweome photography eBooks with you. These are all premium products, and you will not get them for free, but you can get them for an incredible price in the next few hours.
$2,000+ Photography Tools for $89 – Less than 12 hours to go!
If you're not living under a rock, you've probably already heard about the incredible deal that the team at 5DayDeal offers until October 20th (today!): A $2,000+ bundle of photography resources for only $89 (95% off). In this post, I will give you an update as we are on the finishing straight. There are less than 12 hours to go before this bundle deal will be gone forever. If you have not snatched your copy by now than… well… it's time to act.
Zack Arias – One Light 2.0 (Full Review)
Lighting a scene in-studio or on location can be an intimidating task, even for an experienced photographer, and even more so for a beginner. Most professional shoots that you see and read about are incredibly complex using multiple lights, a whole set of modifiers and some expensive props. How in the world are you ever going to pull off something like this?
If that's what you feel like, than this video course by Zack Arias is perfect for you. Zack shows you how to light a scene with one light and one modifier. That's all it takes to – as Zack himself puts it – take pictures that don't suck.
The Secrets of Frequency Separation Retouching
Frequency separation retouching is an amazing technique for separating two main tasks of retouching in general: editing the fine details in your image and editing the tones, shadows and colors. In many cases, it can be hard to get both right at the same time if you are using conventional retouching techniques. If you are using the frequency separation technique in Photoshop, however, you can divide your image into two layers: one that only holds the fine details and one that only contains the tones and colors. Those can then be edited separately and independently of each other.
In this featured video, Aaron Nace from Phlearn.com shows you how to use frequency separation on a portrait in Photoshop.
Shape the light in your photos with Photoshop and Camera Raw
In this excerpt of a CreativeLive class, Jack Davis shows you that the lighting that you captured in your images is not carved in stone. He shows you an interesting HDR workflow where he blends three exposures from an interior scene. Instead of simply merging them and letting the tone mapping decide what the final look will be, he takes control by blending them manually. By doing so, you can create light where you want it and give a scene a whole new mood.
How to hold your camera correctly
The way you hold your camera while you're shooting has profound effects on the quality of your photos. Remember: If you are shooting hand-held, you are the tripod! It's surprising to see how many people are actually having trouble with that.
Now, as with most things in life, it's hard to give you a definite right and wrong here. After all the exact way you hold your own camera is still depending on you and your body. But there are some best practices, and in this article, I will share how some professionals go about holding their camera when they are shooting hand-held.
Starbursts – How to create and control them in your photos
Starbursts can be a nice feature in your photos – especially in landscapes and night shots. But somehow, they seem to show up only infrequently and randomly, right? So how to you create an image that purposefully has a starburst in it to improve your composition and give your photo some additional interestingness?
In this featured video, John Greengo explains what you could almost call the science of starbursts. Now, personally, I had a few rules of thumb on how to actually make them appear in my photos, but John has a whole lot more to tell you. Check this out if you want to make better use of these little dots of light in your photos.

|Fantasy News
|Mon. Nov 24, 2014
|News: Colston caught all four of his targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 34-27 loss to the Ravens.
|Impact: Colston caught three passes for 54 yards in the second quarter, highlighted by a 26-yard touchdown in double coverage. He was mostly quiet for the rest of the game and again showed minimal ability to separate from defensive backs. Colston finished with five or fewer targets for the fourth time in the last five games, even though Drew Brees attempted 45 passes. Jimmy Graham (10 targets), Kenny Stills (nine), Pierre Thomas (eight), and Nick Toon (five) all drew more looks.(RotoWire, )
|Nov 16, 2014
|News: Colston had four catches on a team-high eight targets for 56 yards Sunday against the Bengals.
|Impact: Colston also led the Saints in receiving yards, though Kenny Stills, Travaris Cadet and Erik Lorig all finished with the same number of receptions, while Brandin Cooks finished with one more. Colston left the game briefly with an injury, but was able to come back in fairly quickly to post his highest receiving-yards total in the last four games. Up next is a Week 12 matchup against the Ravens on Monday Night Football, when Colston will look to score his first touchdown since Week 3.(RotoWire, )

Poke - Tamashiro's Fish Market or Tanioka's.

Dessert - Cafe Laufer or Bubbie's Ice Cream.
Luau - No commercial luau, but good Hawaiian food can be found at Helena's, Ono Hawaiian Food and Young's Fish Market (eat in or take-out).
re: curiousgeo
Gotta go to Liliha Bakery for the Coco Puffs.....
Malasadas: Yes, Leonard's Bakery [take out] in Kapahulu.
Hawaiian Food: Yes, Ono Hawaiian in Kapahulu [not upscale].
Mall places: Kakaako Kitchen [take out with seating outside] at Ward Center and The Pineapple Room in Macy's at Ala Moana Center [upscale].
Outdoors: Hau Tree Lanai [upscale] at the south end of Kapiolani Park.
Other: Hiroshi Eurasian Tapas [fusion, upscale] in Restaurant Row, 500 Ala Moana Blvd.
All of these are in Honolulu, not too far from Waikiki.
A hole in the wall kind of place near the airport (near Nimitz Highway)is Ethels Grill. (breakfast or lunch open 6am-2pm)
Huge portions. It is literally a hole in the wall...looked like it was the office of an old motel. But Ethel the owner is a fantastic host and her husband does the cooking in the back. Lots of fish specials too.
Great ramen or lunch plates. I went there and for $5.50 you get a beverage of iced tea,miso soup, salad w/fantastic home made dressing, sashimi appetizer and your entree(huge).
Review and some pictures:
re: curiousgeo
Believe me...I go before the lunch rush. I love the place. Last time we were there my daughter had the oxtail ramen and it was the biggest bowl of ramen I'd ever seen. Ethel's great...she gave my daughter a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts when we left.
Sam Choy has several restaurants on the island. He's like the Emeril of Hawaii.
Lunch - Mariposa @ Neiman's; dinner is not as interesting especially as there is no view
at night. However if you go on Friday night you can see the fireworks quite well.
Fish and other items - Nico's Pier 38, right on the waterfront across the fish auction house.
The furikake ahi is always good and the daily specials are quite special. They email their
daily specials from their website.
Assagio - Kailua. I know there are other locations but I only have been to this one. Both at
lunch (lots of martini drinkers during the day!), large portions, great fish/seafood items and
of course the Italian items you might expect - done quite well. They have a delicious Caesar
salad prepared tableside that is always a winner.
Morning Brew - breakfast/coffee/lunch - Kailua Marketplace (by Times Supermarket). Fabulous locally roasted coffee, hot chocoate, pastries and a full menu of breakfast items.
They have a really good bagel selection , the lox item is terrific. Cozy little place really
friendly people.
Sumo Ramen (Kaneohe Bay Shopping Center by Safeway and I think Pearl Highlands) - anyway really good ramen, chicken katsu curry, gyoza and such. Their Maebo tofu noodle
is amazing, lots of heat and creamy tofu. It is a nice little stop enroute back from the North
Shore or on the way. Carry out from there is always good.
town - Waialae Ave. Kaimuki - lovely little place! B/L/D. Dinnertime is quite loud so go early
if that is a problem for you. Lunch is a more mellow time. Delicious cocktail menu with freshly made herb floats, juices and that sort of thing makes for memorable libation. Their
burger is delicious, freshly ground NS cattle co. beef, great with added bacon and gorgonzola, their fries are the best with little deep fried herbs sprinkled atop. The cod
fritters and light, crisp and served with a malt vinegar aioli, their mussels are served
with a broth that just doesn't quite with flavor and little tiny round pasta that are positively
miniscule but bursting with flavor. GO! GO! GO! to town!
Roy's - the original Flagship in Hawaii Kai, great food, great view of Maunalua Bay if you
go early. Kid friendly if that is applicable and since it can get loud in there you don't even
notice if there are any in there anyway.
Teddy's Bigger Burger - Kailua and other locations. Another gem for burgers and great
fries, they serve them on a fluffy potato bun with this great sauce. Lots of different combinations offered.
Agree with Pineapple Room, Hiroshi Eurasion Tapas, Ono Hawaiian, and Leonard's. Kakaako
Kitchen must have gotten better, I used to eat there (or try to) for lunch a few times a week
when I was working in the area and the orders were always wrong or cooked wrong (like
underdone chicken for example on chicken fried chicken w/bacon gravy on Wednesdays).
KCC Farmer's Market on Saturday - you can get coffee, pastry, kalua pork, burgers and
sausages (andouille or portuguese) on a bun or loco moco from NS Cattle Co., there is a
great booth from Maui selling lots of interesting things and some prepared foods. Fried
Green tomatoes and onion rings are always popular, it's fun to go to. You might even
see the chef/owner of town there buying armloads of produce from everyone.
Some of my ideas are from the Windward side from which I try to never venture far from....
However I do get out every now and then and actually leave my house so that's a bit of
what I could come up with for now. Hope you have a great trip!
re: manomin
Assagios has locations in Hawai'i Kai and the Ala Moana Shopping Center and (not sure if this one is still open) Mililani. The linguine puttanesca (with or without chicken) is good.
Foodland supermarkets fish counter has kimchi shrimp that I find addictive, $5.99 a pound (last year, anyway).
If you like Korean cooked at your table, look up Seoul Yakiniku on King @ Kalakaua (or Kalakaua @ King). Get the steak pieces dinner.
Sorabol for 24 hour Korean, their iron bowl soups are great.
re: MobyRichard
If I recall the Foodland at Ala Moana has a great selection of poke dishes.
Kaka'ako Kitchen is not to be missed. Daiei superstore is great for a midnight snack...and the poke was super cheap but fresh.
try the grass skirt grill right in the heart of haleiwa town on the north shore. it is located at 66-214 kam hwy. fresh fish everyday. very casual, but great food.
Town - without a doubt my favorite dinner in Honolulu. Go for the Ahi appetizer, delicious gnocchi, great taste combinations.
You Hungry - Fav plate lunch, right across the street from the convention center
Diamond Head Grill - Favorite Poke, also try the Plantation Iced Tea from the counter outside and anything else there.

RaboDirect PRO12: Ospreys race to record win against Treviso

Full-back Sam Davies scored 22 points as the Ospreys registered the biggest win in their history with an 11-try, 75-7 trouncing of Treviso at the Liberty Stadium.
The one-sided victory - the Ospreys scored 54 points in the second half - moved the Welsh region up to third in the RaboDirect PRO12 table.
After a scoreless first quarter it was one-way traffic as the Ospreys went past their previous best win - 68-8 against the same opposition in the 2007-08 season.
It was a useful run out for fly-half Dan Biggar and scrum-half Rhys Webb, who both had plenty to play for.
With pressure on Rhys Priestland and Mike Phillips after Wales' defeat in Ireland last weekend, the Ospreys half-backs - who played 47 minutes each - are being tipped for possible inclusion against France on Friday night.
Biggar and Webb, who scored one of the tries on his 100th appearance for the Ospreys, were joined by Welsh squad colleagues Ryan Bevington, James King, Rhys Webb and Ashley Beck in the starting line-up.
The Ospreys made a frustrating start, failing to trouble the scoreboard operator during the first quarter.
But two tries came along in the space of two minutes at the start of the second quarter as they led 14-0 on 24 minutes.
Captain Jonathan Spratt crossed and he was followed over by centre Beck over for the second converted try.
A quickly taken penalty by Webb should have produced a third try but wing Aiesa Natoga put a foot in touch five metres out.
But the third try came when Webb burst clear from inside the 22 as Ospreys led 21-0 at the break.
That became 28-0 with a second try for Spratt 34 seconds after the restart to secure the bonus point after some good interplay with Natoga and Beck.
And the fifth try came through Natoga to make it 35-0 on 48 minutes.
Treviso responded with a converted try for replacement flanker Jacopo Sarto - but that was cancelled out three minutes later for a well-worked try for wing Jeff Hassler, who was followed in by Davies for try number seven two minutes later.
Replacement Dan Baker registered the eighth try just after Alberto Di Bernado was sin-binned and two minutes later replacement centre Hanno Dirksen was over for the ninth try as the Ospreys led 61-7 on 65 minutes.
There was still time for two more tries. First replacement Ryan Jones scampered over before the scoring was rounded off by Davies' second score, who added a sixth conversion.RaboDirect Pro 12. Click here to bet.
