The riveting behind-the-scenes story of the real life superheroes
who rescued A beloved icon of American popular culture from bankruptcy
How Two Tycoons Battled Over the Marvel Comics Empire--And Both
by Dan Raviv
"Dan Raviv
is a wizard. Though COMIC WARS is a factual account of the origins
and aftermath of a corporate bankruptcy, he's managed to make it
as suspenseful and exciting as the superhero thrillers over which
most of the battle was fought. Even though I've lived through those
harrowing days, thanks to Dan's book, I've gained a new understanding
of the whole incredible event." -- Stan Lee
1996, Marvel Entertainment, legendary creator of Captain America,
X-Men, the Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four, and the amazing
Spider-Man, had accumulated a staggering total of $1.6 billion in
debt and was headed straight for bankruptcy. Today, Marvel has risen
from the ashes of financial ruin, reinvigorated and raring to become
a media powerhouse. Friday, May 3, the date Sony/Columbia Pictures'
Spider-Man hits theaters nationwide, will mark not only the arrival
of a blockbuster movie, but also the triumphant return of a world-class
entertainment company.
COMIC WARS: How Two Tycoons Battled Over the Marvel Comics Empire--And
Both Lost (Broadway Books; On Sale: April 30, 2002; Hardcover;
$24.95), award-winning investigative journalist Dan Raviv goes beyond
the headlines to tell the colorful, dramatic, and frequently comical
story of the fight for control over a company cherished for more
than half-a-century as an icon of American popular culture. Combining
meticulous research with a gift for riveting storytelling, the author
brings to life a cast of colorful real-life characters and traces
their cunning maneuvers in the boardroom and the courtroom. While
unveiling the financial and legal machinations, Raviv brilliantly
illuminates the personal stakes for the four men pitted in a unique
Wall Street showdown: Ronald Perelman, Carl Icahn, Ike Perlmutter,
and Avi Arad.
sometimes astounding, and thoroughly entertaining, COMIC WARS follows
Marvel's fate over a turbulent decade--from takeover titan Perelman's
ownership in 1989, through ruthless raider Icahn's chairmanship
in 1997, and on into America's most vicious bankruptcy battle. The
tortuous tale culminates with the company's ultimate salvation in
the hands of Ike Perlmutter and Avi Arad: two Israeli immigrant
entrepreneurs with a passion for the toy business--and the nerves
of steel to take on two determined billionaires.
dedicated duo at the top of Toy Biz, Perlmutter and Arad, saw the
lucrative potential of a business alliance with Marvel and its famous
fictional heroes. In 1993, Toy Biz signed a partnership pact with
Marvel chairman Ron Perelman--touted "Wizard of Wall Street,"
celebrated owner of Revlon, and one of the most abrasive, profit-ravenous
dealmakers in corporate America. In 1995, the Toy Biz visionaries
made an impassioned plea to the Wizard, in his high-security headquarters
known as The Townhouse, to "start doing things"--like
TV and and movies--to leverage the beloved Marvel characters and
get the public talking and buying.
Perelman, however, did not seem to appreciate the untapped value
of the distinctive piece of American culture that he owned. To him,
Marvel was merely another platform for manipulating creditors and
selling junk bonds. In less than a year, the comic book icon would
wind up in federal bankruptcy court and embroiled in dozens of lawsuits.
Battles present opportunities to men such as Icahn, the voracious
marauder of TWA infamy. A man with scant interest in comic books
or national icons, Icahn was driven by one burning goal: defeating
and humiliating his rival in the booming hostile takeover business,
Ron Perelman.
gripping tale of greed, profanity, and power, of conviction, ingenuity,
and perseverance, COMIC WARS deftly captures all the twists and
turns in the conflict--and the hopes, ambitions, and egos of its
key players.
How Perelman procured the trust of a respected banking group led
by Chase Manhattan, lost a bundle on his brash acquisitions of sports-card
subsidiaries, and still managed to pocket nearly $500 million while
driving Marvel to devastation.
Icahn risked $70 million on a personal vendetta, how he wrested
control of Marvel away from Perelman, and how the formidable corporate
shark eventually got swallowed by a minnow of a toy company.
How Perlmutter's fierce talent for negotiation and Arad's creative
genius and belief in comics as an authentic American art form combined
to save and reinvent Marvel--with some help from a grassroots movement
of comic book fans and a determined attorney.
How Perlmutter and Arad navigated the convoluted maze of copyright
and licensing agreements that nearly foiled the making of Spider-Man,
the movie--and why the only clear winners in the whole Marvel saga
are the lawyers.
fans of business thrillers and superheroes--both cartoon and human--COMIC
WARS is a rollicking, compelling, and instructive read.

Our home is located on the north end of palm beach island. Easy access to all the restaurants, shops and nightlife the island and West Palm Beach have to offer and yet secluded and quiet and fully equipped for dinners and BBQs at home by the pool. The private beach access allows for serene beach walks or rowdy surf adventures with the kids. The dock at the other end of the street is available if you rent a boat for cruising the intracoastal or fishing trips. The lake trail at the end of the lane offers a wonderful pedestrian only walkway for riding, rollerblading and strolling. Fantastic bird life and snorkeling in the clear Caribbean colored waters abound right out your door.

This is a great getaway home rental. The private beach access and proximity to the pedestrian only lake trail make it a perfect spot for family gatherings or quiet romantic escapes. Beach walks looking for shells and nesting turtles is great fun and when there's a swell Queens lane is known for a great beach break and surfers have first dips right outside your door. There are wonderful restaurants and shops nearby but one can also feel a thousand miles away when reading by the pool surrounded by privacy high ficus hedges. The home itself is cozy but the layout lets everyone have space for themselves and all the amenities and comforts are here.
We had a wonderful stay at the Beach House!!! We felt right at home! Love that the beach was so close to the house!
This house was simply perfect for our family's vacation to Palm Beach. The location was ideal - you've got the Intercoastal on one side of your street, and the ocean on the other. Stunning views of perfectly manicured homes and estates surround you in the quiet, private locale in North Palm Beach. Everything you needed was a very short drive. The one-level house felt spacious, yet cozy too, and it was beautifully decorated with lovely photography, and clean, crisp details.
The modern kitchen is in the middle of the home, and is well equipped with All-Clad cookware and beautiful dishes. The Thermador appliances were great for cooking and preparing meals at home.
The bedrooms and bathrooms were simply lovely. Most living areas and bedrooms open to the pool area, so you could access the pool from any one of numerous sliding doors, even one of the bathrooms has direct access. The living areas of the home were very comfortable - the tv room has a nice little sectional couch perfect for lounging, and the formal living room has an entire wall of windows that completely open to the private front yard.
Some helpful hints: leave your books at home! The living areas and bedrooms had so many books, we found ourselves lost in them - everything from photography and Moorish architecture, to Rumi and the slow food movement. There are lots of kids books and games as well. There is a wagon in the hallway closet that was very convenient for transporting stuff (little humans included) to the beach, which is a 3-minute walk. The laundry area is well-equipped with all you need for laundering clothes, along with beach towels. The hallway bathroom is fully-loaded with plush bath, hand, and facial towels.
The pool feels very secluded - it too, was well stocked with pails and shovels for the little ones, and boogie boards, etc.
The homeowner went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, starting with our first communication. The homeowner and property manager were extremely attentive and immediately responsive to one minor issue that came up.
I would highly recommend this home,and we hope to return annually!
We had a wonderful stay in this charming home. Just minutes from the beach, the location was terrific. Our daughter was a huge fan of the heated pool. It was clean, nicely furnished, and the owner was very responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed ourselves vacationing here during the winter holidays 2012. The kitchen is lovely and up to date with great pots, pans and fixtures. If you are a dedicated chef you might want to bring your sharper cutting knives but other than that you'll be in great shape. The master bedroom is particularly lovely with a high bed that is very comfortable. We had 3 kids with us and that worked well for the extra rooms though one trundle is on the floor and the other raises up (I think). The kids' beds are narrow twins but worked well for teenage boys. The pool is wonderful kept at a very comfortable temperature with a fabulous bathroom right next to it with a great shower. The owner maintains it well. Lots of towels, great laundry set up, etc. The location couldn't be better in Palm Beach and we loved taking long walks on the intercoastal path which goes for a few miles alongside gorgeous homes and beautiful Lake Worth. Great parking set up too. Highly recommend!
The description and photos of this property are accurate. It is a clean and well maintained property. I stayed there with my mom and two young children. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed staying at the house. The beach is a block and half away. We were able to go to the beach without having to make it a full day outing. Sometimes with just towels and bathing suits! Having a pool in the back made it very easy to entertain the kids. There are lots of pool/beach equipment for use. Very close to grocery store, restaurants and ice cream shop! The owner is super friendly and easy to work with. I would recommend this to friends/relatives.
This house is located in the North end whch is very uncrowded and about 3 miles to the first bridge. The house is a short walk to a beautiful uncrowded beach. Rarely did we see more than just a few people on the beach at any one tme. This house is also about 1 block away from the Lake Trail which is about a 4-6 mile paved trail along Lake worth (Intracostal waterway). We rented bikes for everybody at the bike shop in Palm Beach for a reasonable price. The kitchen was very nice and stocked with spices and such for cooking. The bedrooms were very comfortable. We have kids (17, 14, 12) and they all had a great time either on the beach, in the pool, or on their bikes. It was a great and relaxing vacation. The nice thing about the house was that there were not a bunch of little knick-knacks for our kids to break. Because of the pool, I would be very careful renting this house if you have young children. We would love to return.
Nearest Airport : PBI at 10 Miles.
Our area is 4 homes away from private deeded beach access. The grassy area has electric power, loungers, a covered dining area and shower.

"Quality: The paper is thick and textured, adding dimension to the invitation. The colors were spot-on to what I expected based on the online display. Delivery: The order came a week earlier than I anticipated! This is quite helpful considering I ordered 350 invitations and appreciate the extra time to write all those addresses! Customer Service: I changed my mind on the wording of the invitation and response card at least three times! The online chat specialist was a TREMENDOUS help, and they had a new proof sent to me via email within one business day. I even made a phone call to make for certain a specific request could be made, and they were super helpful and more than delivered my expectations. Couldn't be more pleased with weddingpaperdivas.com!"
"thank you WPD ! love my invitations, beautiful. They were delivered before the promised date just as the Save the Dates cards... great service!!!"
"I recommend ordering a sample of the invitations before deciding which one to get. We were surprised how some looked better or worse in person. We were incredibly happy with the product. The colors, paper, print, design were all fantastic. What we were most happy about was the costumer service and response time. We had a lot of special requests and everything got back to us to review or edit within 24 hours. It was just the easiest process!"
"We ordered these in watermelon with the white pearl shimmer cardstock. Absolutely beautiful, already received tons of compliments! If you're doing a vintage/ shabby chic theme, these are perfect! The quality is fantastic! We also ordered the platinum silver shimmer euro flap envelopes & the matching envelope liners. Very easy to put together and a very nice compliment to the invitations. The only issue we've had is with printing addresses on the envelopes, the ink doesn't want to dry. However, you can buy a fixative at a craft store to spray on it and that solves the problem. All in all, very impressed with the invitations and would definitely recommend them!"
"Our invitations turned out great and we were really impressed with how quickly they arrived. The paper (background) colour is a little darker than expected, so know that they are quite grey when they looked more white to us online."

Ian McKellen Helps South African Director With YouTube Marriage Proposal
So how do you propose to a die-hard Star Trek-loving partner?
For South African director Brett Best, the only answer was drafting Patrick Stewart, otherwise known as Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Sadly, Stewart was unavailable Pink News reported on Friday.
Best though was not to be deterred and asked Stewart's best friend, Ian McKellen, if he minded taking his place for his X-Men: Days of Future Past co-star. McKellen, who officiated Stewart's wedding back in September, filled in admirably, helping Best propose to his boyfriend, Khalid Shawwa.
Unsurprisingly, given the star talent, Best told Pink News his video proposal got the desired response.
Best directed the documentary Miracle Rising: South Africa in 2013 and before that worked on the South African version of the weight-loss TV show The Biggest Loser.
See Brett Best's YouTube proposal starring Ian McKellen below.

Myths Christians Believe about Movies Like Noah
page 1 of 7
Sailing on a sea of controversy
The flood of media love for the Russell Crowe movie, Noah, awashes the brain. It reminds me of Mel Gibson's 2004 Passion of the Christ, and people are saying the same things now, as they said back then.
Let's look at some of these tedious pronouncements people are making about Noah that echo what they preached during Gibson's moneymaking affair — because that's what these movies do, my friend: they make somebody a lot of money. Before you determine whether some of that donation money will be yours, just make sure you're not attending for any of these reasons...

What are the new business legal issues to be aware of when opening a small at-home business?

New Business Legal Issues
I have been thinking about starting up a small side business, involving printing up invitations, announcements, etc. Are there any legal issues? I'm not expecting to make a ton of money that I would have to account for. I simply am wondering what I need to do to get it going. I have heard a little about a sales tax ID number, but would I need that for any amount of business I do? Or if I don't make over a certain amount, am I exempt? I have a good idea, and people have told me over the years that I should start something like this. I'm confused!
Contact City and State
Contact the city to see if you need a business license. Contact your state tax commission regarding tax permits and tax reports. (You'll find the numbers in the government section of the phone book.) I live in OK and both the state and city where very helpful in starting my business. OK state tax commission offers classes and referrals to other agencies. Your state may do this also.
Go Online for Help
Everything you need to know about new business legal issues is available free at the government's Small Business Association website.
Location, Location, Location
There may be some issues based on location. For example, in Fl, where I am, you can set up a DBA (Doing Business As) for very little and it allows you to open a "business" account as well. Sales tax is required if she is selling in a state that requires it. In that case, she just needs to register with the State (she can find the forms and possibly even file online). If she were to decide to incorporate, then she has other issues to deal with (setting up the corp, Tax ID, Fed EIN, 941 Unemployment if she starts taking serious money, etc.).
Library Offers Resources Worth Checking Out
I would go to the library and look up resources on small businesses and home based businesses. Make sure you get more than one and from different authors so you can get different perspectives. Also consult with a financial consultant in your area. It may be in your best interest to pay for an hour of his/her time and have an extensive list of questions to ask. Make sure you pick one that has a solid reputation. I'd rather pay someone a one-time fee to see whether starting a business is worth it or not. Finally, do extensive research to see if anyone else in your area has similar services that you plan to offer.

MSNBC's 'PoliticsNation' executive producer moving to Bloomberg TV
"PoliticsNation" Executive Producer Matt Saal is leaving MSNBC for Bloomberg TV, TVNewser reports.
Saal, who created and runs the show, hosted by Al Sharpton, will become an executive producer at Bloomberg and help develop new programming. He has been with MSNBC for more than a decade.
"I've really enjoyed working with Matt since he first joined us in 2002. He's made significant contributions across our network, including building the talented team we have in place at PoliticsNation, and we look forward to carrying on their great work on the show. We are going to miss Matt and wish him the best of luck," MSNBC President Phil Griffin told TVNewser.
Saal was previously an executive producer on "The Rachel Maddow Show" and was co-creator of "The Chris Matthews Show."
Despite ratings problems and big shakeups at MSNBC, TVNewser reports that Saal's departure isn't necessarily a sign that Sharpton's show will be canceled. Two senior producers will take Saal's place until a permanent replacement is found. Network executives told the On Media blog that they are considering moving "PoliticsNation" to weekends.
TVNewser has the full memo from Bloomberg here.

Stephanie Drotos' Teaching Media Production is a very valuable website for educators interested in creating a media production curriculum. This site lays out in very clear detail, everything you need to teach a nine week middle school media production course. The site was created by a middle teacher for other middle school teachers interested in creating (or expanding) media production courses concentrating on teaching stop-motion animation, desktop publishing, video production.
The site includes course outlines, day-to-day lesson plans, sample class handouts and teacher resources.
Stephanie explains, "For two years, I taught a middle school class called Media Production. This course lasted for nine weeks and was taught four times a year to both 8th graders and 6th graders. I designed the course and included topics in which I was personally interested. I've had lots of requests for information about teaching Media Production and wanted to make the information available to help other teachers."
If you are an educator teaching media production, I think you'll be well rewarded looking at Stehpanie's course ideas.

Forum member's solution sounds good and foolproof. If you want a back up to that, you could enter the renewal dates in a calendar with email alerts.
This is pretty reliable and you csn set the reminder to any period up to 4 weeks before the date:

Stain/sealer for unfinished oak door?
Help! We need to quickly find a stain color for our new, unfinished oak door, but I really don't know the best staining products to even look at. The instructions for the door (a Simpson red oak door) says the first coat should be a "stain and sealer". What are the best brands for a "stain and sealer"? I realize the final coats will be the more protective coat, but right now I'm just concentrating on the staining/sealing step.
Thanks so much!
Sorry, should have mentioned that - exterior door. Relatively well sheltered but exterior nevertheless. I'm not sure what a "sanding sealer" is - I went to the paint store tonight and they recommended Minwax stain with a spar varnish as a finish coat. Thoughts?
If the "spar varnish" is Helmsman,, run the other way. It's a terrible choice as it has little UV resistance. See the link for an article on how well it fared. A quality spar varnish will not be found at most paint stores, certainly not the big boxes, but at a nautical supply house. It will run about $50 a quart. Even then, expect to refresh it every couple of years.
Sanding sealers are typically have stearates (metallic soaps) that make them powder up easily. The problem is, if you hit them with anything (think something carried in the door), it can turn white and no good way to remove the white mark without stripping and refinishing. And like I said, it also makes the finish less water resistant. Further, not all finishes adhere well to all sanding sealers. The result is flaking and peeling. While they (might!) make sense in production environment for furniture, they are really an unneeded expense for the DIY.
I suggest using the finish in the link below. Go to a paint store (even Lowe's or Home Depot) and get some exterior, oil-based, trim paint in deep base (usually labeled #4 or #5) and do not allow the paint OAG to add any pigment. Ignore their statements that it will not work or they can't sell it that way. Sneak in the cage and head to to the cashier while they are mixing and shaking some paint if you have to. Lie to them and tell them you are going to add your own pigments (say UTC).
Here is a link that might be useful: Options and comments on
When Simpson said "stain and seal" I don't think they meant a sanding sealer. Those are designed to help even out stains on woods prone to blotching like pine but blotching is not generally a problem with oak. Instead they mean some kind of film finish like varnish.
I'm looking at a similar project myself and after quite a bit of research there seems to be as many opinions as to what is "best" as the people writing them. Some is a function of experience and personal preference and others seems to be what is just readily available. In the end, any finish is going to require maintenance and the more opaque the finish, the longer it is going to last. But you didn't spend the money on an oak door just to paint it.
Bobsmyuncle's suggestion of using a deep tint paint base is new to me (I was quite surprised to hear that it dries clear) and may be an excellent choice as a top coat. I've also read some good reviews of a varnish from Epifanes. It's marketing to the boating world and while it may be hard to find, West Marine does carry it. It is expensive, $36 per quart.
The current issue of Fine Woodworking #205 has a review of outdoor finishes. I haven't read it yet but you should be able to find a copy a woodworking stores, home centers, and possibly your public library.
Whatever you do, just remember to finish all six sides of your door.

Why are convection steam ovens so small?
I have my eyes set on the Wolf CSO and trying to justify the price, I just wish it weren't so small! It's the biggest on the market from what I've seen in showrooms. Since the steam compartment is at the top, why is it so difficult to make it with a wider body? I know they're coming out with a 30" model but interior cavity will remain the same as the 24" model (roughly 18"). If you have one, do you find this an issue? Are you limited with the size of roasts or pans you can use?
I have the Gaggenau. It holds a surprising amount of stuff. One of the things you have to remember is the heat is being pushed by the fan. There's no radiant heat to be the correct distance from (at least, in mine). If it were a bigger cavity you'd need a huge amount more of steam. There's no wasted airspace. Compare to the French ranges with the small natural convection ovens.
I can get my 8 qt. Graniteware roaster in my combi-steam. It has to go diagonally because of the handles, but it fits. So does my largest Pyrex baking dish. Most of the time, however, I use the sheet pans that come with it (solid and perforated). I once made 1.5 large turkeys in it, in pieces, in two pans. You really can cook a LOT in it. Not a giant whole turkey, but you could do anything that will fit in a pan without touching the sides.
The thing is, you have to get used to not messing with things. A steam oven wasn't meant to be opened and stirred. Some dishes really do call for being stirred once, but you have to take the dish out, stir and put it back. Remember what the barbecuers/smokers say: If you're lookin' you're not cookin'.
So, yes, you're limited. I can't get my 15 qt. Le Crueset goose pot into the combi-steam. I probably can't get my 9 qt. round bean pot in either. Nor a 25 lb. whole turkey (cut in half, probably not a problem, if you have enough pans). I have gotten a whole brisket in, in the 8 qt. Graniteware roaster though.
Also, when you're steaming vegetables, at least in the Gaggenau, you can prep them all, then put in three or four pans to steam all at once, and save energy. There is condensation, however, if everything is fridge cold.
It takes some time to adjust one's habits to a new way of cooking, but my combi-steam is probably the most used appliance in my cooking.

SIM2 SUPER LUMIS Three-Chip DLP Projector
- Written by Chris Heinonen
- Published on 13 February 2014
Projectors are often described as having a "film-like" image. We are all trying to replicate that movie theater experience at home and so it seems that achieving that look is what we would strive for. The SIM2 SUPER LUMIS has shown me that in a modern projector; film-like is no longer what we want. All our sources now are pixel-perfect digital sources. Ideal projectors are razor-sharp and incredibly bright. We can focus down to a single pixel on the screen. Very little we see in the theater today is film sourced or projected from film, and nothing we watch at home is stored on film. So "film-like" is not what I'm after in a projector. What I'm after is something that shows me every last detail and imperfection in what I'm watching. A projector as true to the source as possible. With that in mind, the SIM2 SUPER LUMIS projector is a machine that is capable of doing just that. Powerful, precise, and utter revealing of everything it projects onto the screen.

From movies to sports, bright rooms to dark, it managed to excel at everything I asked it to do. In 2013, we some improvements with the VPL-HW55ES, including longer lamp life, contrast ratio, and brightness.
Dune HD - Base3D and TV-303D High Definition Media Streamers
- Written by Ofer LaOr
- Published on 10 June 2013
Streamers have been around for quite a few years. It took them quite a while to reach maturity. When this field was at its infancy, HD was just starting to get popular and Streamers offered a way to play back a DIVX or TS file without requiring a Home Theater PC in your living room. The beginning was very slow and tedious, early streamers were buggy and often had serious image, sound and build quality issues. Typically, you had to place your content in a hard drive inside the unit, or even burn a DVD containing your desired content - not exactly something that most people are prone to do.

Mitsubishi HC8000D-BL 3D DLP Projector

Whenever I attend the CEDIA Expo, I visit all the projector manufacturers, both large and small. While Mitsubishi is a large company, their projectors are not as well-known as other brands. At the 2012 Expo, I had a chance to check out their all-new DLP models. In this review, we test the Mitsubishi HC8000D-BL single-chip DLP 3D projector.
Samsung UN85S9AF 85" 4K UHD LED Display
- Written by Ofer Laor
- Published on 18 September 2013
Reviewing the Samsung UN85S9AF 4K UHD TV is far from a simple task. The entire construct requires around 4 people to stand upright. This 85" behemoth is a self contained home theater experience – it stands on its own and although it can technically be wall mounted, this really breaks from its design statement. Apparently, Samsung discovered that many of its customers prefer to use the built in stand – which is why they've invested a great deal in the built-in stand designs. When Samsung first showed off this design at CES in Las Vegas, I really didn't like it. From afar, it looked like a folding beach chair or scissors. However, when the UN85S9AF is right next to you, the feeling changes. The design is elegant and looks much better in person than it does on the Vegas show floor or in pictures.
BenQ W1070 Projector

I'll be blunt: I don't like 3D. I've never been able to justify paying extra to see it in the theater, and at home it has always left me cold. Most implementations give me a headache almost instantly with their crosstalk-filled images and ghosting the drives me crazy... Fast forward to CES 2013 and BenQ is in the South Hall showing off a pair of projectors that are very similar to the W7000, but scaled down: the W1070 and W1080ST.

With their updated e-shift technology, a full-featured CMS, and black levels that are untouched by other projector manufacturers, the new JVC X55 projector is capable of some truly stunning images. The kind of images that will likely have you painting that room, covering the carpet up with a dark rug, and putting electrical tape over the LEDs on your system components to prevent any little thing from entering the room to distract from its performance.

Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 5020UBE 3D LCD Projector

- Published on 12 June 2013
Recently I reviewed Epson's new Home Cinema 3020e projector and found it to be a tremendous value in the under $2000 class. It offers killer 3D, wireless HDMI, and superb image for less than the price of a 60-inch TV. It was only natural that I should also check out its big brother, the Home Cinema 5020UBE.
SunBriteTV 5560HD 55" Outdoor All-weather LCD HDTV

If you have been to any recent home and garden shows, you may have noticed the increase in outdoor entertainment areas. These usually consist of a covered patio, comfortable seating, fireplace/firepit, and anywhere from just a grill to a full outdoor kitchen area with pizza oven. Sounds like a home outside of your home. But where's the TV? SunBrite has the answer.

3 cubic acres of money is trans-dimensional, that is beyond our normal 3 physical dimensions. Even if it were all pennies, SMcD's fortune would easily eclipse the $29 billion mark. I believe that the Tardis was based on the money bin design.
And we are talking about 1951 dollars.
Saying Uncle Sam's resources are infinite is a cop-out. Scrooge McDuck has accumulated wealth where not even the Ferengi have been able to go.
The article is clearly biased against ducks who have manged to acquire wealth and power.

And... no, WE can't think of anything better to do with our time!
Why'd you even read the summary...
Lister owns 98% of all the world's wealth. [youtube.com]
And being fiction within fiction, that makes his worth SQUARED. So he actually owns 9604% of all the world's fictional money!
No shit. Where's the Count of Monte Cristo? You know, the famous sandwich entrepreneur?
Everything is relative (or so I'm told), so if Scrooge was duck size then the value would also diminish. Remember he didn't have too many investments as he was more concerned with NOT spending his money.
I estimate that his $44.1 billion would be more likely around $4.1 billion instead.

Bike Snob
Systematically & Mercilessly Realigning the World of Cycling
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
Cycling is explodingin a good way. Urbanites everywhere, from ironic hipsters to earth-conscious commuters, are taking to the bike like aquatic mammals to water. BikeSnobNYC—cycling's most prolific, well-known, hilarious, and anonymous blogger—brings a fresh and humorous perspective to the most important vehicle to hit personal transportation since the horse. Bike Snob treats readers to a laugh-out-loud rant and rave about the world of bikes and their riders, and offers a unique look at the ins and outs of cycling, from its history and hallmarks to its wide range of bizarre practitioners. Throughout, the author lampoons the missteps, pretensions, and absurdities of bike culture while maintaining a contagious enthusiasm for cycling itself. Bike Snob is an essential volume for anyone who knows, is, or wants to become a cyclist.
Customer Reviews
Good read
Very humorous take on the world of cycling which conveys all the differing aspects. Bottom line is just get out there everyday and ride. Get exercise and clear your mind for a while.
Entertaining and informative read, perfect for a long-haul flight.
Great Book
Funny that no where in iTunes or the iBook library does it mention the books author, Eben Weiss. Just saying:-)
That aside, great read and funny. It's kind of like a Bill Bryson book about bicycling where you learn and laugh at the same time. I recommend this highly, especially if you are new to the sport.

Findings for PPC in New Orleans
New Orleans Ranks Amongst Most Expensive Markets for Keywords in West South Central
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that New Orleans was the 9th most expensive city in West South Central in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of March 2015. New Orleans also ranks amongst the most expensive cities in Louisiana, ranking 2nd. In the study, Austin ranked as the most expensive city in West South Central for keywords, while El Paso ranked as the least expensive city.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 437% Higher in New Orleans than Gulfport
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in New Orleans are 437% higher than in Gulfport. The average price of a click in New Orleans is $17.11.
This price difference is understandable though, given the population of Gulfport is less than New Orleans, which generally means less competition and therefore lower prices.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

- I noticed that PRDH did have the same date as you posted earlier. It's possible that the records do not exist any longer, but were available at the time Tanguay did his research.
One thing I noticed when looking at that database was there were several pages that were torn, so that's where your information may have been :-( I'm sure if the records are in
the PRDH, they are as accurate as they can be, but it sure would be great to find the actual records if they are out there.
Do you belong to the Quebec-research group at rootsweb? Bertrand Desjardins, the project manager belongs to that list.
You could also just ask him directly if the records exist.

Subject: RE: RE: [RI_Ancestors] Reply to All - Re: Help with Québec Catholic Records Written in Latin
Hi Lisa & Mickey, No, I don't think it's you. I couldn't find anything that jumped out as "Bonhomme" either which vexed me no end. I wondered if there was maybe a Latin equivalent to "Bonhomme" but even using Bing translator didn't help me much with that. No "Bonhomme" but, like you, I did keep seeing a lot of what looked to be "Abenaki". Looks like they Brothers/monks were keeping busy spreading the word & doing a good job converting the locals to Catholicism. As for the dates, all I could make sense of were the years and sometimes day/months written in the margins. And I more than agree with your priest friend, Mickey that the penmanship on these records is awful. It's among some of the worst I've seen, topped only, perhaps, by some 1800's Italian military service records I've been trying to decipher for a couple years now; those have horrid penmanship made all the more challenging by having been written on thin paper causing a ton of bleed through. It'll be interesting to see if the Father can eke out some sense from these Sillery records given the poor penmanship. PRDH has been my "go to" default search engine for pre 1800 repertoire. I've not subscribed since I've been able to make do to this point, at least, with what French I remembered from high school, free translation sites & help from a cousin in Manitoba when a record had me stumped by the combo of French & bad writing or other image/visual issues. These Bonhomme b/bapts of mine have got to be there somewhere in those Mission Saint-Joseph-de-Sillery records because they are listed in PRDH as well as Tanguay. I sure Tanguay & the folks on the PRDH crew didn't just imagine these or make them up: Sillery, bapts; Bonhomme, Guillaume as father - 1667, 1672, 1674, 1675, 1677. According to Tanguay these would have been, in numerical order - Guillaume 13 Dec, Joseph 6 Apr, Marguerite-Francoise 30 Jan, Marie-Madeleine 24 Jun & Francois-Hubert 4 Dec. I have yet to explore the rest of this database as I've wanted to but perhaps later this weekend as it's supposed to rain Sun/Mon making any outdoors activities bound to be unpleasantly soggy. Hopefully, I'll eventually find what I'm looking for. At times like this, I wish these records were indexed or at least, there existed a table of contents for each of these digitized films so one didn't have to spend so much time jumping around the images trying to home in on where within the image set, their record might be. But I won't fuss too much as the familysearch.org repertoire images, having been done some 30 yrs or so after the Drouin filmings on Ancestry reflect the advances in filming technology so are superior as well as being free. The rest of the PRDH listings for Guillaume consist of marriages - some for his children, marriage contracts, hospital sick lists & burials. Neither PRDH nor Tanguay have a listing for my ancestor of interest, Agnes. Several unsourced Ancestry trees place her birth/bapt at 21 Jun 1675 Quebec which conflicts with both PRDH & Tanguay & is in error. Several b/bapts for Guillaume's children were listed as "Quebec" in PRDH so I took a look at the record mentioned in those Ancestry trees anyway in hopes that perhaps it was recording a delayed entry for an earlier baptism/ondoie-ondoye of my Agnes however that Agnes listed in the trees as b/bapt 21 Jun 1675 had parents named Ignace Bonhomme & Agnes Morin. A totally different Agnes. Looks like I'll be adding some comments to those trees and/or trying to contact the owners to get the error corrected for all the good that sometimes does w/those tree owners who either are no longer active or just "know" they're right & refuse to make corrections.

Hi Linda,
I did hear back from Father and he said image 58 mentions Bonhomme. He also said the handwriting is awful but would like a week or so and he will give it his best and get back to me.
I've marked my calendar and will text him, in a week if I don't hear before, to see how he is doing. Fingers crossed :)

First let me say thanks to all who've responded. I was away for a few days with some unplanned business so didn't want to get back into those pesky Latin records until I could have the time to concentrate on it again.
Like others here, I took a language, French, wayyy back in high school & could remember little of it when I actually needed it after marriage & Hubby & I whould take our equally long ago vacation trips to Old Qu颥c City & Trois Riviere.
I had to laugh at Lisa's remark about taking Latin for 2 years and remembering little of it. I can really identify with that! Mostly I remember two phrases from class, "Fermer la bouche!" something our high school French teacher uttered at least once a class and I'm dead! - "Je suis mort!", which was mumbled by many in my French class just before a pop quiz.
Lisa, I took a look at the Family Search Wiki on Latin and saw a couple of the words listed there that I'd encountered in the record I was trying to figure out as well as words similar to those from French & Italian which are Latin derivatives.
AFGS is a good suggestion, too. I hadn't consider them. The past president, who I've run into up there occasionally, is an ex-Catholic priest(Before anyone comes to the wrong conclusion, he left in order to become a fulltime care giver for an elderly relative)so he must surely have a good grip on the Latin language.
Now that I'm back home w/tree at hand, I'm going to try exploring this particular digitized film of BMD to 1690 & see if I can get a better understanding of what else might be here besides these Latin records. In the late 1800's Fr. Cyprien Tanguay found these Bonhomme baptisms I'm searching for & published them in his Genealogical Dictionary known now simply as Tanguay so hopefully the records survived into the 20th cent. to be filmed & these, then, are some of them.
The baptisms I've been hunting were for children of Guillaume Bonhomme & his wife Francoise Guige Huchet. Their daughter Agnes is an ancestor of my husband's great-grandfather Benjamin Poliquin who arrived with his family in Rhode Island from Quebec in the spring of 1885.
Kim & Mickey and anyone else wants to try out their rusty Latin, this is one of the images I was looking at:
The person I'm unsuccessfully trying to find here is Joseph Bonhomme b. April 1672(Tanguay V1 pg. 66) https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-28022-20826-61?cc=1321742 < https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-28022-20826-61?cc=1321742 <https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-28022-20826-61?cc=1321742&wc=MMY5-CQC:n397312726> &wc=MMY5-CQC:n397312726 > &wc=MMY5-CQC:n397312726
This one should have Francois-Herbert Bonhomme who Tanguay says was b/baptized 7 Dec 1677. Though the format looks more like what I'm familiar with, I don't see anything resembling his name:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1971-28022-19626-79?cc=1321742 < https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1971-28022-19626-79?cc=1321742 <https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1971-28022-19626-79?cc=1321742&wc=MMY5-CQC:n397312726> &wc=MMY5-CQC:n397312726 > &wc=MMY5-CQC:n397312726
I though these images were baptisms - maybe of a group baptized all at once(?) but the format on the earlier one isn't of the type I'm used to seeing in Quebec records. However, it is the first time I've looked at mission records so perhaps the monks/missionaries used a different format from what the parish priests did.

Enhanced Twitter Sharing Feature on Podbean
Podbean's Twitter sharing capabilities just got better! Now, when you share to Twitter, your podcast player is embedded into your Tweet so users can play the episode directly from Twitter.
Podbean's Twitter sharing capabilities just got better! Now, when you share to Twitter, your podcast player is embedded into your Tweet so users can play the episode directly from Twitter.
Podbean has a new feature, to make it easier than ever to share your podcasts on the web! You can now connect your Wordpress site to your Podbean account so that new podcast episodes will automatically be posted on your Wordpress site.
It is super easy to set up and start saving time! Go to Settings->Social Share and click on the "Connect to Wordpress" button. You will need to input your Wordpress login url, username and password and choose "self-hosted" or "Wordpress.com". Then, hit "submit" and you should see a success message at the top of your screen.
You can also customize your posting options. Click on the "edit" pencil icon for your connected Wordpress account to get the dropdown menu of options. Categories allows you to set it up so that the episodes automatically post in one (or more) categories within your Wordpress site (for example, your news or blog section). If you wish to post to more than one category, simply separate the names of the categories here with commas. You can also customize options for the look and feel on your self-hosted Wordpress site, such as player color, whether the download and share buttons are displayed, if the episode auto plays, and the video size (for video episodes). *Wordpress.com sites do not support the embeddable player, so they will display a simple play logo which links to a new page to play the episode.
Once you have the connection set up, simply publish a podcast episode as you normally do and the episode will now post on your Wordpress site (there may be a few minutes delay for this to update).
With this latest feature, Podbean saves you even more time, allowing you to share your podcast with ease! If you have any questions or need help, contact us at support.podbean.com.
Keywords are important to help potential listeners find your podcast. Think about keywords that you may want to include in your podcast title and description. What are the main subjects of your podcast? What key topics do you cover?
When you go to your account "settings" under "general options" you can choose your channel title, keywords and a brief description. For your title, a good format is Podcast Name: 2-3 key words describing what your podcast is about. So, for example if my podcast, Marketing Mania, is about blogging and social media, my title might be: "Marketing Mania: Blogging | Social Media". Keywords listed for this podcast might include blogging, social media, digital marketing, content creation, social media marketing. The description should be in sentence form, but include those important key words also (example: "Marketing Mania covers everything you need to know about blogging and social media. Featuring digital marketing tips.").
For each episode, use primary key words in the title and description (i.e. What is the focus of this episode?). With Podbean, you can modify the permalink for each episode, which is also great for SEO purposes.
If you hit "more options" when publishing a podcast episode in Podbean, you can also modify the information for iTunes such as subtitle, summary and keywords. This can help optimize your podcast for iTunes so that it's easy for iTunes users to find you. If these are not modified, Podbean uses certain default information (such as the first 25 characters of your post text as the subtitle for iTunes); scroll over the (?) by each for more information.
Using keywords is a great way to help new listeners find your podcast. Incorporate these tips to help your podcast stand out!
Podbean offers different display options to make your site look just the way you like. We've added a new feature allowing you to choose where to display the podcast player for your episodes.
Currently, the podcast player displays below any show notes/text description. But, some users prefer the podcast player to be the first thing users see in the episode. Now, with one quick step, you can opt to have your podcast player display above the episode text.
To make this change, go to Settings->Display->Episodes. Find "Display player before episode description" and click on it to activate this setting. Make sure to save by clicking on the blue "Update Options" button at the bottom.
Now, the podcast player will be featured right after your title for each episode, with any description or show notes following. We hope you enjoy this new feature! If you have any questions, visit support.podbean.com.
Podbean has added even more customization options for your embeddable podcast player. Now, you can choose from a wide range of colors for your podcast player, to better match with the look and feel of your website.
In your dashboard, go to Settings->Player. For the embeddable multimedia player, click on "More Options" to see the colors available. Choose the color you desire and click "Preview & Get Code" for the corresponding coding to paste in to your site.
You can also change the color on the podcast player on your site. When you click on "audio player on site" or "video player on site", you will see the range of colors. Click on the desired color and "save" to make the change on your site.
The Podbean interface helps you easily make your podcast look great! We welcome your feedback and questions at firstname.lastname@example.com and we hope you enjoy this new option.
Podcasters occasionally wish to view detailed information about their episode plays. For example, you may see something that seems unusual, such as a big increase or decrease in plays for a particular episode, and want to more closely analyze the data. With Podbean's latest statistics upgrade, Business Plan users* now have this data right at their fingertips.
In your dashboard, go to Statistics->Trending and scroll down to "Episode Plays". On the right side, you will see a button, "Export Full Data"; click to choose the month you desire (from the last three months) and the data will be exported to an Excel file.
