Review by Ed Sizemore
Crumb doesn't follow any organized religion; in fact, he might be an atheist. In the introduction, he tells us that he doesn't believe that the Bible is the Word of God, or even inspired by God. Yet he strove to produce the most straightforward, faithful-to-the-text, illustrated version of Genesis. And succeeded. Every word found in the Biblical text is included in Crumb's version. Further, Crumb didn't make up additional dialogue or narrative scenes. What you get is the Biblical text and nothing but the Biblical text.
Let's talk briefly about the translation of Genesis used. The majority of the text comes from Robert Alter's translation, but Crumb did edit and revise the translation where he thought he could make it read more smoothly. For some revisions, he used the King James version of Genesis, and some wording is original to Crumb himself. What we have is a perfectly fine translation. There are no major alterations or radical word changes. Crumb stays as faithful to the original text as any other editor.
Now on to the part everyone is really interested in, the artwork. Here I think I might disappoint some people: I wasn't shocked or scandalized by what I found in Crumb's drawings. I'm very familiar with the Biblical text and familiar enough with Crumb's work to know what I could expect before I opened the book. I knew that Adam and Eve walked around the garden naked in chapter 3. I knew that Crumb was going to draw them both in all their glory. And he did. There are no low-hanging branches, no hiding behind bushes, and no conventionally placed hands and arms. I'm well aware that in chapter 19, Lot gets drunk and has sex with his daughters. Sure enough, Crumb draws the incestuous copulations. The couple isn't making love under the blankets, there are no well-placed shadows, and no use of shadows on the wall. You see what they're doing in full detail.
Crumb's lack of modesty and decorum is certain to upset conservative Christians, Jews, and Muslims. But the cover comes with "Adult Supervision Recommended for Minors" and "The First Book of the Bible Graphically Depicted! NOTHING LEFT OUT!" advisories. So even if a reader is unfamiliar with who R. Crumb is, they can't say they weren't amply warned. Let's be honest, Christian bookstores won't be stocking this next to other illustrated versions of the Bible; they won't be stocking this at all.
Other people who might be scandalized are people unfamiliar with the Biblical text. Genesis is the story of God's relationship with fallen humanity. Adam's son, Cain, commits the first murder. Noah gets drunk and passes out naked. Abraham is so scared of Pharaoh that he lets Pharaoh marry his wife with any word of protest. We've already mentioned Lot's incest. Laban and Jacob are competing con artists. And Jacob's sons sell one of their own, Joseph, into slavery because they're jealous of all the attention he gets. It's all there in the text, humanity at its best and its worst. Heroes of faith with fears, doubts, and flaws just like the rest of us.
There are several things I like about Crumb's version. First, he makes the genealogy passage of chapter 11 an enjoyable read. This is something Francoise Mouly brought out in her discussion of the book with Crumb. He does it simply and effectively. While the text is telling us who begat whom, Crumb shows us scenes of daily life around 3,000 BC. This really brings to life the names being listed. It also brings out the passage of time. As we look at grandparents cuddling grandchildren, villages making sacrifices to gods, and couples dancing, the passing centuries become more tangible. We understand that the lives of generations of people, much like ours, is quickly passing by. Crumb brought poignancy to the passage for me.
Second, Crumb does a great job creating a believable bronze age world. This isn't Cecil B. DeMille's sparkling clean, perfectly groomed vision of the Bible. The people in Crumb's version sweat, get dirty, have disheveled hair, etc. They aren't always the most attractive people. They all don't get old gracefully and with dignity. This is a world of body odor, dusty trails, hard labor, animal smells, blazing hot days, freezing nights, etc. It's a world where the most advanced technology is the wheel, the sword, pulleys, and carving tools. You understand how difficult life was for the people in those times. It's amazing to think of the cities and monuments they built with just the muscle of men and beasts.
Third, the attention to detail helps makes some passages easier to understand. The best example is in the Joseph saga (chapters 37 and 39 thru 50). Just reading the text, you wonder why Joseph's brothers don't recognize him when they meet him in Egypt. Crumb shows you how radically different Joseph looked from the last time they saw him. When his brothers see him in Egypt, he looks just like any other Egyptian high official. He is not only wearing Egyptian clothes, but he is clean-shaven, has an Egyptian hair style, and has Egyptian mannerisms. There is nothing about him to suggest he was ever the son of a nomadic shepherd. Here, Crumb's illustrations function like a commentary to make explicit what is hidden in the text.
There are a couple of charming idiosyncrasies to Crumb's choices. First, Crumb uses the stereotypical Western depiction of God. I'm reminded of how men like Michelangelo, William Blake, and Albercht Durer painted or drew Him. God has powerful features and long, flowing white hair and beard. Most people will find the image instantly recognizable. Second, Crumb makes most of the important women of Genesis look like his wife, Aline. Eve, Sarah, and Rachel all look alike. It's a touching demonstration of how much he loves his wife but makes for some odd reading.
Beyond any doubt, Crumb is an incredibly skilled draftsmen. The pen work in this book is marvelous. You could use this book to illustrate figure drawing, what perfect cross-hatching looks like, and how to pay attention to the smallest details. There are no shortcuts taken in this book. Each panel is meticulously drawn. Foreground and background characters are fully rendered. Thinking about the time and energy it would take to do just one panel makes you appreciate the immerse labor it took to complete the entire book.
I'm not sure who the audience for this book would be. Mouly mentioned this was the first time she had actually read the book of Genesis, so I'm thankful to Crumb for making this Biblical book accessible to a new audience. Certainly, Crumb's current fans will enjoy this work.
I actually would like all Christians to read the book, because of how real and human it makes the great heroes of faith. They worked hard, got tired, made mistakes, made love, got old, and died just like everyone else. They weren't insulated from the harsh realities of this world. And in the midst of daily living, they developed a lasting relationship with God that formed the foundation of our own faith today. Crumb's faithfulness to the text is able to flesh out the daily ordinary live of the patriarchs without diminishing the extraordinary nature of their faith. Honestly, and perhaps ironically, I don't think anyone else could have accomplished that incredible feat.
Crumb's Genesis is truly a remarkable book. I'd like everyone to experience a chapter or two of book so they could judge for themselves if the book is appropriate for them. Like Genesis itself, this book is a mix of the sacred and the profane. Not everyone will find that to their liking. However, I sincerely believe it's worth the effort to read the book, at least once.
NPR posted the first five pages of the book, while Boing Boing has chapter 19, the story of Lot and his daughters in Sodom, as well as a video flip-through.

October 30, 2009 at 9:26 AMWhat a great review, Ed! I really feel like I know exactly what this book is from your thoughtful description. As someone who shares Crumb's view of of the origins of the Bible, this version which so carefully tells its story just like any other story is very appealing, and I could easily imagine myself and others like me as the audience for this book. Regardless of personal belief, the Bible is undeniably an important piece of historical literature, but the weight of religion tends to make us non-believers shy away from spending much time with it. Crumb's pure storytelling approach may provide a refreshing perspective that would allow us to appreciate the book on its own merit. It's certainly got me intrigued. Your personal intimacy with the text is a great asset to your review as well, and provides non-Christians with the background needed to fully understand the significance of this publication.
Thanks for reviewing this!
- jan Says:
October 30, 2009 at 9:32 AMSounds like a good read and a good reminder that these are "stories" and were meant to be that before modern Christians decided it all had to be "true" while forgetting that life in any of those times would both alike and different from today.
- Ed Sizemore Says:
October 30, 2009 at 9:43 AMMelinda & Jan, Thanks for your kind words. I'm going to have to send Crumb a thank you card for getting a new audience of readers interested in the Bible. I think you both will enjoy the book. Melinda, I hope you'll write your own review of it.
- Erica Friedman Says:
October 30, 2009 at 9:48 AMI was particularly interested in your reading of this, Ed, as I know and respect your religious education. I remember being amazed at how human the humans of Genesis were (lying, cheating, stealing, as well as more usual bodily functions) and I wanted to see how this version played.
It sounds really *good.* Thank you for your review and your honesty. Now, maybe, those people who would sanitize the Bible will have to look directly at it and see that it's not about heaven at all, but about people – in all their humanity.
- jan Says:
October 30, 2009 at 10:09 AMHow funny, Ed, that Melinda was replying while I was reading and replying so I didn't see her words before I wrote. She expresses herself so much better than I do. Just as well I replied without seeing it. :) It will be interesting to read other responses you get.
- Rob McMonigal Says:
October 30, 2009 at 10:52 AMBah. I am 25th in line for it at the library. Going to take forever to read this.
This was an excellent review, Ed. Since I haven't read the book yet, I can't speak for the particulars, but I think you gave a good description of the book and why to read it.
Looking forward to seeing what I think and going back to your comments.
- Ed Sizemore Says:
October 30, 2009 at 11:04 AMRob, Sorry, you're so low on the list. But, I'm really happy the list is so long. Please come back and share your reactions and thoughts.
- Thad Says:
October 30, 2009 at 12:01 PMGreat review, Ed!
My girlfriend got me the book for my birthday a month ago and I've thumbed through it but haven't really gotten around to reading it yet. (My comics backlog is extensive at the moment, and big hardcovers don't really lend themselves to throwing in a backpack and taking to the park to read on my lunch break.)
I'm with Melinda @ #2; I'm not a man of faith and I think a literal interpretation of the Bible is absolutely a disastrous thing. But I love stories, and there's a reason these have survived for thousands of years; heroic myths have always been a part of what defines us as humans. (I think this is why I like the superhero genre.)
I know the old stories — the Garden of Eden, Noah's Ark, and so on — but I've never actually read the text of the Bible straight through. Crumb's given me a great form in which to finally experience Genesis complete-and-unabridged, and his use of (primarily) Alter's translation piques my interest too.
At any rate, I'm excited about it; great review.

October 30, 2009 at 7:33 PMMost Christians I shared Crumb's GENESIS with seem to have appreciated the attention to detail and the respect to the text that Crumb brought to the project. The only objection I've heard was from someone who felt the Bible should only be illustrated by a believer; he didn't have any objections to what he had seen of Crumb's art, just to the idea of a non-believer doing the work.
I am a practicing Christian* and I've found Crumb's book to be both a delight and a genuinely illuminating work as well. He takes what is normally presented in churches as a series of discreet episodes and weaves them into one long, complex geneological tale. And by illustrating the full text, he takes past the point where most versions of the stories (including those preswented in church) leave off.
I recommend this book very highly and agree with your review 100%.

October 30, 2009 at 8:34 PMGreat review — I had no interest in this before I read your explanation of how Crumb presents the book of Genesis. I'm fascinated how detailed it is in its presentation of dress, culture, etc.
- Ed Sizemore Says:
October 30, 2009 at 10:57 PMBuzz, Take heart,none of us get it right this side of Heaven. I'm glad to hear there are other Christians reading and enjoying Crumb's Genesis.
I can't help but think only a non-believer, without a prior agenda, could have rendered the text so faithfully. I'm afraid that a Christian, Jew, or Muslim would try to use the illustrations as way of influencing the reading of the text to support their particular theological bend.
Also, I think Crumb's lack of agenda is what makes this book so accessible to non-believers. Their not being preached at. They are being presented the stories as is and left to make their own decision about what Genesis means to them.
Danielle, thank you for your kind words. I hope everyone will take the time to read this book and encounter the Biblical text for themselves. I'm very encouraged by how people of all beliefs are reacting positively to this book.
- Ed Sizemore Says:
October 30, 2009 at 11:01 PMErica,
Thanks for your comments here and on Twitter. The more I see the wonderful variety of people reading and enjoying this book the more excited I get. I'm thrilled so many people are encountering the Biblical text and thinking about it.
- Jan Klump Says:
October 31, 2009 at 8:21 AMI think you have made a good point, Ed, that only a non-believer could do the job without an agenda. We all are influenced greatly by our upbringing, so perhaps a non-believer will have some agenda without realizing it. Still, the chances are better that it will be true to the story.

January 9, 2010 at 3:33 PMExcellent review, truly. I'm old enough to know of Mr. Crumb's earlier work "directly", this is quite an astonishing extension of everyone's fixed ideas on both Mr. Crumb and the text. Only the text itself can match the power of these finely crafted stills. I am still in awe. The work ethic of Mr. Crumb is a beacon to all artists.
- Ed Sizemore Says:
January 9, 2010 at 8:13 PMBlake,
I was very impressed with Crumb's discipline getting this book done. I can also understand why he doesn't want to do another one like it.
- font9a Says:
May 10, 2010 at 12:25 AMThis is a nice review. I intend to purchase this for my iPad. I had never really liked R. Crumb's draughtmanship before — but it was only a personal taste. His images are truly emotive, economic, fantastically illustrative and now I can see why he is such a master of the craft. I was able for the first time to not focus on the lifework and instead let the pictures read like text. This is an amazing awakening for me with R. Crumb's work.

CARSON, Calif. – After missing Thursday's Knockout Round match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC with tightness in left hamstring, right back Sean Franklin is hopeful that he can participate in Sunday's Western Conference Final first leg against the San Jose Earthquakes.
Franklin told reporters after training on Saturday that the tightness in his hamstring stopped "a couple of days ago," causing him to be optimistic for Sunday.
"Everything seems good," said Franklin. "I trained the last two days so we'll see how I feel tomorrow. It's up to the trainers and we'll talk to Bruce about it. I'm looking forward to, hopefully, playing tomorrow."
While those comments are similar to the ones that Franklin made following last Sunday's match against the Seattle Sounders, -- when the injury first surfaced and caused him to exit the match at the half-- Franklin admitted that need to be smart about his injury prevented him from playing on Thursday.
"It was something where it was the right time to be smart about it," said Franklin. "I felt something in the Seattle game, they said be smart about it and I'm trying to do everything that I can to make sure that it's 100 percent.",
CARSON, Calif. -- The Professional Referee Organization announced on Friday via Twitter that Referee Ricardo Salazar will officiate Sunday's Western Conference Semifinal first leg between the LA Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes.
Salazar officiated just two Galaxy matches this season, LA's match against the New England Revolution in March, and their 1-1 draw with FC Dallas in April that saw him deal out six cautions -- three to the Galaxy -- and award a penalty kick for each side. Meawnhile, Salazar officiated just two San Jose matches this season, a 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls in April where he issued four cautions and a 1-1 draw with Chivas USA in May that saw him issue five yellow cards -- three to San Jose . Salazar has a history of officiating big games at The Home Depot Center having served as the referee for the 2011 MLS Cup Final.
While Sunday's clash between the Galaxy and San Jose promises to be a physical clash, the Galaxy believe that they will need to focus on their gameplan rather than Salazar's officiating.
"It's something that we can't worry about. We can't think about the referees, we just have to go into the game," said Dunivant after training on Friday. "Salazar doing the game; he's probably the best ref in the league. He did our final last year and has done a lot of big games, so he won't be an excuse for us. We can't think about the referees going into this game, we have to think about San Jose."
CARSON, Calif. -- For the first time since 2005, the LA Galaxy head into the Western Conference Semifinal as the series' lowest seed, meaning that The Home Depot Center will host the first leg of the two-leg series against the San Jose Earthquakes.
Of the 36 home-and-home series in MLS history since their introduction during the 2003 MLS Cup playoffs, the top seeds have advanced 22 times. Whether this actually classifies a competitive advantage or disadvantage for either team remains a heated topic for debate, but Galaxy defender Todd Dunivant is convinced that it means little.
"I guess that technically it should be, but in reality, it's not. A lot of times, the only real advantage to having the second leg at home is knowing what you need to do and also having that overtime in penalties, but that's not a huge advantage," said Dunivant. "Last year, Salt Lake got up 3-0 on Seattle and it was too big a hill for [the Sounders] to climb when they got home. It can go either way, D.C.. and New York just swapped, and I don't think that's going to change drastically what is happening in that series. It is two games and you have 180 minutes to decide who is going through and who is advancing."
Curiously enough, LA's opponents in that 2005 series? None other than the 2005 Supporters' Shield winners, the San Jose Earthquakes.
LA Galaxy released their Friday injury report earlier this afternoon.
Off the list are David Beckham and Landon Donovan, who both went 90 minutes on Thursday, while David Junior Lopes was downgraded from out to questionable with a left facial fracture. Added to the list were Sean Franklin and Christian Wilhelmsson, neither of whom dressed in Thursday's Knockout Round victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Not added to the list is Brazilian midfielder Juninho, who is optimistic that he will be available for Sunday's Western Conference Semifinal against the San Jose Earthquakes after sustaining a kick to his right Achilles in the closing stages of Thursday's match.
Prior to the injury report being released, head coach Bruce Arena told reporters after Friday's training session that there was a "good chance" that Franklin is ready for Sunday, while the club is taking a wait and see approach on Wilhelmsson's status. However, Arena admitted that some moves are expected ahead of Sunday.
"I think that we're going to make changes to our lineup whether those guys are in or out," said Arena on Friday.
The complete Galaxy injury report is below…
OUT: DF A.J. DeLaGarza (L knee sprain); DF Leonardo (R knee inflammation); MF Kyle Nakazawa (back spasms). QUESTIONABLE: DF David Junior Lopes (L facial fracture); DF Sean Franklin (L Hamstring Tightness); MF Christian Wilhelmsson: (R Quad Tightness)
The LA Galaxy Foundation announced on Friday that they will be collecting monetary donations for Hurricane Sandy relief at this Sunday's Western Conference Semifinal First Leg against the San Jose Earthquakes.
Galaxy Academy players and Red Cross volunteers will be stationed outside of each entrance at The Home Depot Center on Sunday from 4 pm to 6 pm to collect donations for the American Red Cross' Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.

Agree or disagree with my observations?
Leave your comments below.
CARSON, Calif. -- Down a goal in their Knockout Round match to Vancouver Whitecaps FC, the Galaxy needed a goal to save their season -- enter Mike Magee.
In the 69th minute, David Beckham played a short corner into Juninho, who launched a cross into the box that found the right foot of Magee, whose volley found the back of the Vancouver net. Just four minutes later, Landon Donovan put LA up for good after a foul in the box by Vancouver's Martin Bonjour led to a penalty gave LA their second and final goal of the night.
Although Magee's postseason success is becoming a regular occurrence for the Galaxy -- his goal was his fourth goal in five postseason games -- the Galaxy attacker can't seem to pinpoint the reason for his success, but what he can explain, is the heightened intensity that the MLS Cup Playoffs bring.
"I feel it," said Magee. "I'm so much more nervous for these games than I am any other, but just as a team, we battle as a team, and I've kind of been the beneficiary goal-wise the last two years, but this team keeps battling away. Being down a goal, we had to push and tonight it was my turn."
Magee's teammates Beckham, Donovan, and head coach Bruce Arena discuss his goal below...
DONOVAN: "He's a type of player that shines in moments like this. There's something special about players like that, a lot of guys do it when games don't matter or they'll score the third goal in a three to nothing win that don't matter, but Mike
scores goals that matter. He's done it consistently since he's been here."
BECKHAM: "That's what Mike does. He gets in positions – he's a clever player, he's a really intelligent player, and we were putting a lot of balls in the six yard box, and I saw Juninho for the short corner and obviously he put it in a position right just at the penalty spot, and Mike was there."
ARENA: "Great goal, obviously an important goal. We're real pleased with the result; not an easy game."
CARSON, Calif. -- Central to the LA Galaxy's comeback from a one goal deficit to defeat Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2-1 was the play of substitute Marcelo Sarvas.
After coming on for Hector Jimenez in the 52nd minute, Sarvas' quick passes and speed made an immediate impact as he helped draw the attention of the Vancouver defense, leading the opportunties like Mike Magee's game-tying-goal in the 69th minute of play. With Juninho dealing with an apparent Achillies injury, Sarvas may be called into action during Sunday's Western Conference Semifinal first leg against the San Jose Earthquakes.
Sarvas discusses his role in Thursday's Galaxy victory below...
(On playing right back…)
SARVAS: I think in the situation today, we're behind in the score, everybody has to help in some way, and when the coach asked me if I could play in that position, I didn't think, just said yes, of course. I'm happy everything worked good and I think I did a good job."
(On his Instructions from Arena…)
SARVAS: "He asked me to play offensive because they had everybody sitting back and just waiting, so they asked me to play wide and try to cross the ball and to score. To make it 1-1."
(On LA's Patience…)
SARVAS: "That's important to have guys that are used to playing games like that, that you can control the motion, that you can control the time, we were behind because they scored but we had that game controlled. We had the ball possession, sometimes a little bit slow with the ball but we had the game, we just had to score the first goal then we knew that the second would come."
CARSON, Calif. -- A few notes from Thursday's LA Galaxy 2-1 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC
*Vancouver's goal by Darren Mattocks in the third minute was their first against the Galaxy at The Home Depot Center. The Whitecaps had been shutout in their last three meetings against the Galaxy at HDC by a combined score of 8-0
*With his goal in the 69th minute, Mike Magee has now scored in four of the LA Galaxy's last five postseason contests. Magee has six postseason goals in his career, all of which have come with LA.
*Landon Donovan's goal in the 73rd minute was his 21st postseason goal of his career.
*On Sean Franklin, Bruce Arena told reporters: "Sean was tight from the game on Sunday [vs. Seattle], expect him to be back. We thought if we played him tonight we could miss him from the rest of the playoffs, so we just made that decision.
*Bruce Arena described Christian Wilhelmsson's injury as a tight right quad that occured in practice on Wednesday.
*Arena also told reporters that he "would expect changes in [his] lineup" for Sunday's match
*Thursday's attendance was 14,703
*Juninho described his injury as an Achillies issue.
*The LA Galaxy return to postseason action on Sunday against the San Jose Earthquakes at 6 pm PT before traveling to Buck Shaw Stadium for the second leg on Nov. 7 for an 8 pm PT kick off.
The LA Galaxy may have roared back from an early deficit to defeat Vancouver Whitecaps FC, but the status of Brazilian midfielder Juninho for Sunday's Western Conference Semifinal against the San Jose Earthquakes remains in question.
In the 82nd minute, the Galaxy midfielder was kicked by a Whitecaps defender, causing him to go down and eventually be removed from the match a minute later. Following the match, head coach Bruce Arena told reporters that while Juninho was "a little bit sore," the team expects him to be okay.
When asked, Juninho shared his coaches optimism.
"I'm tired, my Achilles tendon hurts a little bit, but I'm going to rest tomorrow and try to be ready for [Sunday] " said Juninho. "I was just standing there and the player kicked the ball through my legs and when I turned, I was just tired, and my Achilles just gave.
Meanwhile LA Galaxy captain Landon Donovan believes that the club must take a wait-and-see approach to the Brazilian's health.
"We'll see how he is tomorrow," said Donovan. "I think he was tired, his leg had been bother him a little bit so I think it was smart to get him out and hopefully he's okay tomorrow."

Affable Nick Palumbo was raised on Lanai (so you'll get the local perspective on the best spots for your level), and his wife, Alex, specializes in teaching women and girls. It's a reputable outfit—all the instructors have at least 15 years of surfing experience and are CPR-, first aid–, and Hawaii-lifeguard–certified. Lanai Surf School is also the choice of the Four Seasons. Surfboard and gear rentals are available.

The combo plate is awesome to share with a friend. Very tasty!!
Fransheska (10 reviews | 32 orders)
The food was good.
Mohammad (4 reviews | 90 orders)
Ordered the grilled lamb, it was awesome. Perfectly done and great flavor. Each portion is separate and probably enough for 2 people (e.g. if you order the lamb, you'll get a full carton of grilled lamb cubes, a full carton of fries, a carton of salad, and a carton of rice).

Edward 5pts The DIS board forum wasn't shut down for using bad language -- it was shut down for quoting the language Pete Werner used in his article. Ironic. He won't allow expletives on his forum, but he'll go calling Disney itself "bullsh*t."
Trent 5pts P.S. The "attacks" come from your failure to follow one of the first unwritten rules of journalism, typically enforced by editors to ensure their reporters don't go focusing on the wrong thing: Consider the source. For all of the apologies about Werner's background, it doesn't seem like you stopped to wonder, "Does this guy actually represent Disney fans, or is he one of a handful of people who take issue with just about anything Disney does?" A little questioning of OTHER Disney fans might have given you the answer. He does not speak for me, or millions of other Disney fans, whether they belong to D23 or not.
Trent 5pts Oh, brother. Did you read the worthwhile and insightful comments that your story was poorly written, poorly researched and not very interesting, in the end? Curious that, in the times in which we live, you decided to single out on some obscure, bitter fan who wants to pick a fight with Disney over its own fan club (because HE didn't get consultation rights) than look at, say, how the Occupy movement is affecting tony South Florida, how gay bashing is still happening (and with increasing frequency), or how the Internet is making reporters and editors incredibly lazy. It wasn't a very good story, Stefan. It's certainly not one worth defending or trying to make grow into some viral Internet sensation. And while this guy apparently is your friend, you did him no favors in the way you portrayed him. He comes across as an angry, mean, petty, vindictive, foul-mouthed fellow with a hyper-inflated ego and way too much time on his hands. He has made a lot of money off of Disney; if anyone could afford the $75 if only for the opportunity to actually BE involved in the Disney fan process officially (because that's what D23 is, the "official" club, not the "unofficial" boards that are using Disney trademarks and copyrights with abandon), it's him.
nanook5 5pts LOL if only all the homeless complaining about your FNB story had a message board to air their grievances than you'd see some REAL colorful language

A Miami Girl at New York Fashion Week, Day One: Anna Wintour's Gonna Love This
What I found there was a fellow Indiana native, dressed head-to-tow in pink and feathers, who told me, "You need money in this town. You're in college, so you wont have it for a while. Until that happens, fake it till you make it."
Today, many years after I left college, I feel like I am doing just that. I am at New York Fashion Week, and the feeling is surreal. So as of today, in the words of my female impersonator friend, I plan to fake it till I damn well make it.
To be honest, I am not sure what I am doing here. Well, I do. I am a blogger obsessed with fashion, celebrities, and all things synonymous with the Big Apple's famous fashion week. But to sit next to writers from The New York Times and Glamour is kind of blowing my mind. When my editor put me on assignment, I could barely believe it. And now, here I am.
I've spent an embarrassing amount of time wondering whether I belong here. Am I cool? Hell yeah. Actually, I am awesome. But if what I've seen in the movies about fashion week is accurate, I am screwed like a Charlie Sheen hooker. First, I am not a sample size, like many of my fellow 305 ladies. My size and fashion's sample sizes aren't even related. Luckily, I used to work in fashion PR, and have managed my fair share of fashion shows in Miami. I have handled guest lists, dressed models, and once had Tara Reid ask me to score her some cocaine at a show. (Don't worry, Mom and Dad, I didn't!) I am just hoping my experience with Miami fashion shows is enough to hold me back from what I like to call a "gay panic" when I'm sitting a few rows behind some of Hollywood's finest. Will I encounter scary Vogue editor Anna Wintour? And will she destroy me with her fiery, all-powerful gaze?
The fangirl in me is pumped that designers actually want me at their shows. I have been invited to attend the likes of Mara Hoffman, Badglely Mishka, and for my reality TV buffs, Whitney Port's Whitney Eve show. I will also be checking out the scene backstage at Zac Posen. And the Miami love's not restricted to big names only; I'll be checking out designers like Mishka and Nicholas K as well.

Boston Marathon bomb suspect still at large
The teenager wanted in connection with the Boston Marathon bomb attacks remains at large but gunshots have been heard in the suburb of Watertown.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, escaped on foot early on Friday after a shootout with police that claimed the life of another suspect, his elder brother.
A stay-indoors order for the Boston area has been lifted and Massachusetts' mass transit system has reopened.
Three people died and more than 170 were hurt in Monday's bomb attacks.
On Friday evening, Col Timothy Alben of the Massachusetts State Police told a news conference that investigators believed the suspect had not left Massachusetts, but they could not be sure he was still in Boston.
Col Alben said 20 streets had been searched door-to-door in the suburb of Watertown, but no trace of the suspect had been found.
"We do not have an apprehension of our suspect this afternoon but we will have one," he said. "We are committed to this."
Who are the Tsarnaev brothers?
- Sons of Chechen refugees from the troubled Caucasus region of southern Russia
- Family is thought to have moved to the US in 2001, from Russian republic of Dagestan
- They lived in the Massachusetts town of Cambridge, home to Harvard University
- Dzhokhar, 19, was awarded a scholarship to pursue further education; he wanted to become a brain surgeon, according to his father
- Tamerlan, 26, was an amateur boxer who had reportedly taken time off college to train for a competition; he described himself as a "very religious" non-drinker and non-smoker
But shortly after the conference, gunfire was heard and police cars and armoured vehicles began converging on Watertown.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick had told the press conference an order to stay indoors would be lifted across the whole of Boston and surrounding suburbs, while the state's mass transit system would reopen.
But later there were requests for Watertown residents to stay indoors.
Nineteen-year-old college student Dzhokhar Tsarnaev escaped after a shootout in which his elder brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died early on Friday.
Both are said to be of Chechen origin, and are reported to have moved to the United States about 10 years ago.
Blast woundsThe manhunt began late on Thursday, hours after the FBI released images of the two men they were hunting in relation to the bombings.
University police officer Sean Collier, 26, was killed on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) campus.
Two men then carjacked a vehicle at gunpoint with the driver still in the car. They later released the man unharmed.
Police chased the suspects, who threw bombs and exchanged gunfire with police, seriously wounding one officer.
In Watertown, officers and the men were involved in a gun battle lasting 10 minutes, according to witnesses.
I arrived at Watertown at 4am and watched as America poured its mighty forces into this small suburb in search of one man, the Boston bombings suspect. About 20 armoured cars thundered into town.
A few minutes later twice that number of police cars, blue lights flashing. Then a phalanx of motorcycles. Most of them were police, but they looked like troops going to war. Later in the day Black Hawk helicopters circled overhead. All day inside the cordon, police having been going house to house, door to door, checking that people are safe, looking for the killer.
It wasn't surprising that police told everyone to stay off the streets, and keep indoors. What was surprising was they later closed down the whole city - public transport frozen, businesses told not to open, the advice to all of the millions of inhabitants of Greater Boston: "Lock your doors."
A warning to stay indoors was later extended to the whole of Boston, in what correspondents said was an unprecedented move.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama was briefed on developments in the manhunt and investigation for about an hour in the White House Situation Room.
US Secretary of State John Kerry, also at the briefing on video link, said the authorities were "part of the way there" in bringing the Boston terror suspects to justice, AP reported.
Dr Richard Wolfe, of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, said an individual had been brought in with multiple blast and gunshot wounds to his upper body.
He was in cardiac arrest when he arrived at hospital and despite attempts to resuscitate him, he was pronounced dead at 01:35 (05:35 GMT), Dr Wolfe said.
The authorities were investigating whether the dead man had a home-made bomb strapped to his body when he was killed, according to reports.
Boston police Commissioner Ed Davis said he believed the man being hunted in the Watertown area was a "terrorist".
"We believe this to be a man who came here to kill people," he said.
Media reaction
In the US: Upon seeing photos of the marathon bombing suspects, writes Kevin Cullen in the Boston Globe, Bostonians thought of the victims, not vengeance.
Commenting on FoxNews.com, Judith Miller says that, contrary to popular perception, most of the foreigners involved in jihadi terror plots in America have not been Arab.
Timothy Egan in the New York Times warns against a security over-reaction to the Boston bombings.
In Russia: Prominent Russian blogger and opposition activist Rustem Adagamov tweeted: "Look, a boy of 19, a student at a good university, has the prospect of becoming a doctor, 10 years in the USA. Why on earth did he go and blow up the marathon?"
On the VKontakte social networking site, user "Nikolay Kukushkin" wrote that as the Tsarnaev brothers had been in the USA for several years, linking them to Chechnya was "so far, at least, to put it mildly, an exaggeration".
Ekho Moskvy journalist Tikhon Dzyadko tweeted: "Russian Chechens from Kazakhstan are committing an act of terror in Boston, it is unclear why. Hello, globalisation."
A grey Honda CRV vehicle, which reports said had been sought in connection with the suspects, was found on Friday morning in the Boston area, Connecticut police said.
The father of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev said his son was a second-year medical student in the US and was hoping to be a brain surgeon.
But Anzor Tsarnaev told the BBC he believed the secret services had framed his sons.
"It was a terrorist attack carefully organised by secret services - I don't know which ones. My son used to go to a mosque, so they once paid us a visit to ask why he is doing that.
"Yes, there was such an episode. So they put all the blame on him and shot him. That's it."
Ruslan Tsarni, an uncle of the suspects who lives in Maryland, said he was "ashamed" of their alleged involvement in the bombings.
He urged Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to "turn himself in".
Asked what the bombers' motives may have been, he replied: "Being losers, hating everyone around them."
Meanwhile, investigators removed a computer and other evidence from the New Jersey home of the Tsarnaev brothers' sister, police said.
Ailina Tsarnaeva, who lives in the town of West New York, is said to have told FBI agents she had had no contact with her brothers for a long time.
Monday's attack on the Boston Marathon killed Martin Richard, aged eight, Krystle Campbell, 29, and Lu Lingzi, 23, a postgraduate student from China.

I like the theory that it's so much more than just alien (just aliens..ha!)
That they are beyond our dimensional understandings/constrainst at present..that they are so advanced that they can do that..dimesnion jump.
Also, maybe, that there is something to do with time in it..that they have both broken the time and dimension barrier/s (the same barrier could rule both) and that they are related to us or are US...that's why they take an interest.

BATON ROUGE— Officials at Louisiana State Univeristy have decided to give Offensive Coordinator Gary Crowton a 50,000 dollar pay raise to $450,0000.
The timing of the raise has many around the state raising an eyebrow.
The raise comes on the heels of a 13-3 loss to the Florida Gators.
The three points scored was the lowest total since 2002 against Alabama.

Savage Accuracy Barrels |
Review by Eben Brown - The QB78 pellet rifle was a Chinese copy of the discontinued Crosman 160 when I bought one out of Shotgun News years ago. It was crude but accurate... And I loved it. Those early years were tough for QB78 owners because nobody knew how to fix them when they broke down. But all of that has changed BIG TIME. Knowledge, repair parts, and accessories for the QB78 rifles are now readily available for very little money. For example, I just finished resealing, tuning, and accessorizing my old QB78 and it looks and shoots better than it ever did (See below). And CO2 powered air rifle technology has come a long way with the evolution of paintball guns and bulk CO2 availability. You can |

July Fishing Update - Colorado and Roaring Fork Rivers

Kent Keller returned in late June to the nest, built on the edge of the cliff, thinking he would recover the band from a deceased animal.Photos: Amazing survival of baby golden eagle 5 photosPhotos: Amazing survival of baby golden eagle 5 photosAmazing survival of baby golden eagle – This young golden eagle, nicknamed Phoenix, is being cared for after suffering burns from a wildfire south of Salt Lake City in late June.Hide Caption 1 of 5Photos: Amazing survival of baby golden eagle 5 photosAmazing survival of baby golden eagle – Phoenix also had burns to his feet and around his beak.Hide Caption 2 of 5Photos: Amazing survival of baby golden eagle 5 photosAmazing survival of baby golden eagle – In this close-up image, the injuries to one of Phoenix's talons are evident.Hide Caption 3 of 5Photos: Amazing survival of baby golden eagle 5 photosAmazing survival of baby golden eagle – The young golden eagle also sustained severe injuries on his wings.Hide Caption 4 of 5Photos: Amazing survival of baby golden eagle 5 photosAmazing survival of baby golden eagle – Staff from the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah are caring for the injured golden eagle.Hide Caption 5 of 5EXPAND GALLERYJust WatchedShelter protects wildfire animal evacueesreplayMore Videos ...Shelter protects wildfire animal evacuees 02:23PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedWildfire threatens homes in UtahreplayMore Videos ...Wildfire threatens homes in Utah 01:15PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedFire forces thousands from Utah homesreplayMore Videos ...Fire forces thousands from Utah homes 00:51PLAY VIDEOThe nest on Lake Mountain was gone, the rocks behind it blackened by the blaze.Keller then spotted legs and talons near a scorched juniper below.Amazingly, the baby eagle was alive.Near him were rabbit and squirrel carcasses, evidence his parents had tried to feed him after disaster struck. Fortunately, his eyes had not been burned.Wildfire victims face second tragedyKeller said he has thought of the horror the helpless nestling might have felt when flames approached."He had enough courage to jump from that nest and try to save himself anyway," said Keller, 56, who describes himself as an amateur ornithologist. "He is a real fighter."The fall was about 25 feet, and the eagle probably walked back to the base of the cliff after rolling another 100 feet, said Keller.The bird remained in the area for several days while Keller, who is authorized to band raptors, sought permission from federal and state authorities to obtain care for him.On Wednesday, Keller handed the bird over to Erickson.She and her staff dubbed the survivor "Phoenix" -- a reference to the mythical creature that is reborn from the ashes.There was no food in the craw of the dehydrated eagle, which weighed just over 5 pounds."He was lethargic and just obviously hurting," Erickson told CNN on Saturday. "After we got him hydrated and medications, he perked up and that fire came back in him."Erickson said Phoenix, now about 70 days old, was a handful Saturday, lunging and using his talons as caregivers fed and provided antibiotics to the animal."He's not grateful," she quipped.Rehabilitators limit their contact with the eagle so that he will not "habituate," or become too comfortable around people. They use hydrotherapy to help the healing in his feet. "He needs those for hunting. There are lots of tendons and muscles we need to protect," said Erickson.Golden eagles, which are protected, typically eat reptiles, birds and small mammals, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They also are known to scavenge carrion.Colorado's most destructive fire nears containmentKeller said golden eagle females are slightly smaller than the more-famous bald eagle and tend to hunt more and scavenge less. Their particular favorite prey in northern Utah is the black-tailed jackrabbit.The resident of suburban Salt Lake City studies golden eagles and provides population information to state wildlife authorities. Erickson called Keller "the hero in this story."It's too early to tell whether Phoenix will be able to fly in the wild. Rehabilitation will take at least a year and his feathers won't fully molt until mid-2013."We are fairly confident, but there could be follicle damage we do not know about that would prevent feathers from coming in," Erickson said.The nonprofit center, which treats about 1,800 animals a year, is accepting financial and food donations to offset the cost of caring for the golden eagle."He is doing well and we are very positive about his outcome right now," said Erickson. "(But) these types of things can turn at any moment."How to donateIn her 12 years of wildlife rehabilitation, Erickson said, the eagle's story is among a few cases she considers "nothing short of a miracle."More from usDrivers in Kentucky on move again after hours stranded on interstatesDad of Boston bombing victim: 'It was the last time I saw my son alive'Winter storm strands motorists, hammers NortheastPowered by Livefyre

A new record. A new vision. I wanna cast my net wider. Read more
A new record. A new vision. I wanna cast my net wider.
About this project
I am an independent musician about to record my 4th full-length record and I would love to do some things that I've never had the budget to do before like pay for my very first RADIO CAMPAIGN. In the past, every ounce of funds has gone towards just getting the record made and out. I've just never had the extra money to do some of the things that, really, are important to having a record find a wide listening audience. As well, many of the musicians and studios I've worked with over the years have given me a lot of time and energy on a dime because they have believed in my music. But this time, I need to push things farther. I'm gonna dream a little bigger.
And I can only do this with your help.
I have been saving for some of the basic studio costs I have but besides funding a radio campaign I am still in need of what it takes to package and promote this new record to its fullest.
On May 27th, I fly back to NYC to record once again at The Maid's Room. I wrote and recorded songs like "Build You Up" and "Lost and Found" at this studio. Here is a recent and really great article about the studio: http://www.sonicscoop.com/2012/05/13/secret-studio-the-maids-room-is-nycs-analog-recording-magnet/ I'll be there for 7 days or so hammering out 15+ songs. And I'll be posting some updates from the studio here so be on the lookout!
My music has been steadily gaining a wider audience over the last couple of years thanks to some terrific TV placements on shows like Flashpoint, Smallville and the mini-series Cyberbully. In support of my first Kickstarter, the producers at Flashpoint have sent over a bunch of signed DVDs that are part of my incentives package!
I have never been on a label. I am a totally independent songwriter who is completely dependent on YOU. In this campaign, even at the $1 level you will receive a complete digital download of the new record. Even at the smallest contribution, I want you to walk away with music in your ears. It's the best way--the only way, really-- I know how to thank you for bringing me along even this far and giving me the chance to make music.
Consider supporting my project and helping me to cast my net even wider. I am beyond excited about the songs on this new project and I think you will be too.
And also!
In celebration of this Kickstarter campaign I'm releasing my very first music video to my song Days Like This. The biggest thanks to photographer Michael Wilson and editor Matt Davis for helping me put this together.
Enjoy and please help spread the word! Every little bit counts!
