At the last business men's meeting there was a great deal of discussion aa to whether all the stores should give their employes a half holiday. The employes believe as long as they have to work Saturday evenings they should have Wednesday afternoons off. T"je majority of those present at the meeting were In favor of closing, but there were enough opposed to prevent the resolution from carrying. The business places that Will continue the Wednesday closing, however, say that within a few weeks everybody will follow their footsteps. While closing Wednesday afternoon inconveniences some la the matter of purchasing, It makes longer hours for the storekeepers and their clerks, too long for the ordinary man, consider ing the hours worked In the big factories and offices. AMHBRST, OHIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBBR 2, 1919. "SANOSTONB CBNTBR OP THB WORLD" CARD OP THANKS. We wish to express our sincere thanks to those who so kindly offered their services in our bereavement.

WILLIAM WILLIAMS and family Mr. and Mrs. Fred Johnson and Mrs. D. Oooch of Michigan and Mrs. Bennett of Avon attended the funeral of Miss Cells Williams Tuesday afternoon. the Firestone Tire ft Rubber Co. of Akron when he enlisted In the medical corps of the army. He was sent to Fort Benjamin Harrison to the officers' training school In August of 1917 and was assigned to duty at Camp Custer, Mich., three months later. From there be was assigned to overseas service, leaving New York In July of 1918 and landing In England two weeks later. He remained there for a time, expecting to be sent to tbe western front, but instead was orderel to the Murman coast In northern Russia, arriving there In October. Tbe transport on which they were carried passed within 15 degrees of the north pole, landing in Archangel. After a couple of weeks of service in this vicinity, Lieut. Powers was sent south with an expedition along the Dvtna river to,establish aa evacuation hospital at the front, hie final location being at Ust Padlnga o.n the southern line of the Archangel sector. Jan. 22 while Lieut. Powers waa caring for the wounded in hla little hospital, the building was struck by a high explosive shell and he was severely wounded. With tbe thermometer registering 50 below zero he was carried 16 miles to tbe military hospital at Shenkurak, where he died In the evening of the following day. His unUmely death marks the passing of a loving son, a loyal soldier, and a faithful friend. Since his death he was promoted to the rank of captain and awarded the D. S. C. for extraordinary heroism In action. This service cross will be presented to his mother with the required military ceremonies by the American Legion at Amherst on Sunday, Oct 4. After the program several races and contests were pulled off In which the soldiers took part and some events were arranged especially for their benefit It waa a lively hour that ensued and all worked up an appetite that did the supper Justice that had been prepared for them In the Community house by the ladles. The soldiers were all seated at the first table witb the speakers and tbe guests of the day. Besides these the ladles ted more than a hundred and fifty people many of whom had to wait for second table. A very Interesting program of toasts were heard after the supper. The orchestra of the Congregational church led by Rev. Stelner furnished music during tbe meal. The Evening. In the evening a free dance was given In the Foresters' hall. Each alternate dance was reserved for the soldiers and their partners In order to insure their not being squeezed out entirely by the large crowd that was sure to be present st such sn event. All In all, it waa a full day, a day that will be remembered by the soldiers of the community and all their friends, a day that waa Intended to show the appreciation of the whole community for the brave boys who went to a foreign shore to fight to preserve tbe freedom they had always known, a day of merry-making at the safe return of so many of the brave lads who wors the U. 8. uniform end a day dedicated to tbe honor of those who so willingly gave their Uvea that America may continue to be known ss "the land of the free." Incidentally there are many factors that made the day a aucceaa that have not been mentioned. The boy scouts played a very Important part. They maintained a stand in which they sold Ice cream cones and soft drinks. They it was, too, who thought of the only veteran of the civil war, Thomas Bwaln who was sick and unable Jo leave home. They took his supper to him from the community house. SMYTHE TO MAKE Rift MAYOR WILL OPPOSE POSTER AT NOVEMBER ELECTION—LITTLE NOT TO RUN. Several weeks ago It was said that J. J. Smythe would withdraw his name from the ballots as democratic candidate for mayor. Yesterday, however, he Informed us that he will he a candidate, and appeals for the support of all his friends. E. E. Foster, present mayor, is a candidate for re-election on the republican ticket. The fight for this office is tbe one bright spot In the local campaign, it being the only contest of Importance. Smythe has been mayor before, many of the village Improvements being secured during his Incumbency. Foster has been in office the last two terms, and has a creditable record. Both men are prominent In local politic* and have many friends. Both Smythe and Foster are also candidates for Justice of the peace, in addition to E. C. Schuler and Fred Ruth In South Amherst. In choosing men for these positions the voters must look up the merits of all candidates and select the best man. Little Withdraws Name. For the last several weeks, friends of the editor of this paper have been quietly working in his Interest to secure promises from voters that his name would be w/ltten in for the office of mayor. This movement was started without our knoweldge, and we sincerely thank the men responsible for their work in our behalf. We are told upwards of a hundred names were secured. With the announcement that Smythe will make the run, however, and it being certain that with our name not appearing on the official ballot election would scarcely be possible, we desire to announce to friends that we are not a candidate this year. It Is very possible tbat In our position of "unofficial" censor at the frequent council meetings we can assist in insuring Amherst an efficient administration, possibly better than in any other manner. If the time seeni3 propitious, and our friends still desire it, perhaps In two years from now we'll come right out and go after It. Who knowsT DR. POWERS APPOINTBO "Y" OORBBSPONOENT HERE Dr. H. W. Powers has been appointed corresponding member of the state executive committee of the Ohio young men's christian associations for Amherst, to assist In a state-wide service to young men and boys who are leaving home to make their residence elsewhere. The work operates In such a way that when a boy enters a new city to work or attend school his flrse associates will be the men who can assist him In entering the best life of his new home. The plan Is to combat the evils that may befall a boy during hs first tew days of city life. Information regarding any boys leaving the country is sent direct to the state office of the Y. M. C. A. and from there certain Christian men In the city where use i>oy Is going are Informed, Including the pastor of the church of his own choice. These persons make their business to visit the boy at once ami help him select proper associates. Over 50 per cent of the entire population of Ohio live In villages of 5.000 and under or In open country counties. Boys are leaving these places continually to find employment In larger centers. The first few days of residence In his/ new environment are critical with the boy. There Is probably no other service rendered by the Y. M. C. A. so timely as this. The corresponding member system follows the boy, not only to other points in Ohio, but to other states as well. This department of the statewide Y. M. C. A. work is being directed by J. J. Snuler, state field secretary. MRS. POWERS 10 BE 6IVER WAR EMBLEM AMERICAN LEGION WILL PRE 8ENT MEDAL WON BY SON FOR BRAVERY IN BATTLE. An Amelrcan Distinguished Service cross, won by the Iste Capt. Ralph Powers, will be presented to Mrs. H. W. Powers, his mother, by members of the local post of tbe American Legion Sunday afternoon at the rear of the i chool grounds. Members of the legion held a meeting Tuesday evening and appointed committees to take charge of the affair. Every member is requested to Appear In uniform. Speeches will be made by s everal noted men. Capt. Powers was killed last January at Ust Padenga, Russia, when a high explosive shell struck a hospital where he was In charge. Mr. Powers was highly respected among bla fellow officers and men, and well deserved the honor medal which the government will present his mother. Prior to entering the sevrlce, be was associated with the medical director of the Firestone Tire ft Rubber Co. In Akron and won high place as a physician. The members of tbe legion ebow much Interest In Sunday's event, and it is sure that every member will be present at the impressive ceremonies.

Plana for the long talked of merger of the Methodist and Congregational church of thla place are about completed. Trustees from both churches have met and decided that tbe merger will take effect Oct. 15. The plan of the consolidation remains the same as told in the issue of two weeks ago, leaving the smaller details to be settled after the merger takes effect. A meeting of the Sunday school board of the Methodist church last Tuesday evening decided the matter of the Sunday schools. All those present were In favor of joining the schools inasmuch as the churches had voted to do so. Rev. Hunter in his talk said that the Sunday school of any church could not be run separately from the church. Many other members of the board also expressed the same sentiment. The two schools will get together after Oct. 1 and elect officers and teachers from both of the present schools. Rev. Hunter Now at M. E. Church. Rev. Hunter, who is to be the pastor of the united church, la now occupying the pulpit at the Methodist church and will do so until the merger takes effect. Rev. Kyle Booth of the Congregational church has accepted a call to the First Congregational church at Lima and will leave Oct. 16. Evening services are being conducted as usual at the Cong'l church but not at the Methodist. There has been no attempt to unite the Ladies' Aid societies of the two churches as yet and it is thought (hey will run separate with their own lists of officers. A consolidated Young People's society will be formed as soon as the two churches unite. SPECIAL 8ERVICE8 AT 8TONE CHURCH At the Stone church, Rev. M. Neu- meister will speak on "The Christian and Prayer" Sunday at 10:30 a. m. and at 7:30 p. m. on "What to Do With Our Burdens."

Subject, "Our Relation to Others, Toward World Brotherhood." All are cordially invited to attend any or all of the meetings. KIDS STEALING CHESTNUTS. Several neighboring farmers and fruit growers are up In arms against the depredations of small boys, and some large boys,, who delight in making raids on chestnut trees. At qpe place, not content with picking up the chestnuts from the ground, they havo broken down entire limbs from the trees, doing untold damage. If a few of the boys are caught and examples made of them, probably tbe practice will be stopped. What is said to be the finest array of lyceum talent ever secured for Amherst is announced for this season by the Minute Men of America under whose auspices the lyceum series will be presented. All attractions will appear In tbe Opera house. The summer Just past has been the most successful for the holding of Chautauquas in the history of that movement and It has been truly said that "the Chautauqua Is just the lyceum with her summer clothes on." it is believed that never has there been so much Interest in hearing high- class and worth while entretainments such as have been provided for us this season. The value of this kind of entertainment lies in the fact that the craze to be entertained by being studiously frivolous and purposeless Is playel out for the war has brought a mental change in America and real life has become much more interesting than make-believe. In thla season's course of entertainments there Is much that Is eductalonal and Instructive, but it Is always entertaining, in the best sense of tbat much abused word. Season tickets are now on sale at various stores and business places about town. The tickets for the full course of five numbers sell for $1.25 for adults, 75 cents for chllrden. Single admissions are 35 and 60 cents, so money will be saved by buying tb^e season tickets. The first number, the Hawaiian quartet, will appear next Wednesday evening, Oct. 8. The other numbers will follow at Intervals of about one month throughout the winter. Here is the course as outlined by the committee in charge: The Hawaiian Singers and Players. The most popular novelty musical program In America today is one presented by a group of Hawaiian singers and players. Knowing this, our lyceum committee showed good Judgement in selecting such an organization as one of the numbers in the lyceum series this season. That our auditorium will be crowded when they appear is a foregone conclusion. Lyceum managers tell us they thought the people were getting tired of Hawaiian music, but that they have been mistaken for there is no musical attraction on their lists that draw larger audiences than The Hawaiian Singers and Players, scheduled for our course. These four young Hawaiians present through the medium of songs. Instru mental numbers and folk dances, a picture of life In the South Sea Islands. The Bohannans. The Bohannans—muscal entertainers—are scheduled for an appearand in our lyceum series this season. They are really fine artists of wide experience both here and abroad. The program they will give includes in it readings of an original character, impersonations, tenor solos, soprano solos, duets, musical readings and sketches. A feature of their programs is a group of selections they found were the favorites of the A. E. F. when they spent over six months in France and the occupied parts or Germany entertaining our overseas soldiers—a work in which they were prime favorites. Florenoe Ensworth, Tuesday, Dec. 2. Announced for the lyceum series this season as the reader and story' teller you will enjoy, Miss Florence Ensworth will contribute one evening's entertainment, consisting of a miscellaneous program of short stories, poems, and character skits that keep an audience interested from start to finish. A young woman of pleasing personality, Miss Ensworth has devoted most of her time for Ave seasons entertaining audiences In New York state and the east; this season she will tour farther west and also visit all of tbe New England states. Now is your chance to win f25 in gold If you want to spend five minutes each week for eight weeks and at the end of that time spend possibly 15 minutes. How? In the Addled Adage contest conducted by The Amherst News- Times. Anyone who wants to enter Is eligible. All that is necessary is that you either subscribe to The News- Times or renew your old subscription. When you do that you are a bona fide contestant and have a fine chance of winning the big prize of $25 In gold, or possibly If you are not so lucky you may win second, third, or any of the prizes-ten of them, from $25 down to fl. In this contest, you are not asked to spend a lot of money to become a contestant, but simply to become a paid In advance subscriber to the newsy News-Times or renew your old subscription; in either case you're getting double your money's worth. The contest is not a hard one; almost anyone can solve the puzzle pictures, and at the end, the one who presents the best orlglnul addled adage, and submits the nearest correct solutions to the eight pictures, gets the first prize. Get Started Today. Many people already have started und are watching the paper each week for the next proverb. Our tele- phono has been kept busy by eager persons phoning in for particulars. Whole families are working on the contest. The best way to win Is to get started early. Don't wait until it Is half over with and thereby lose half the Interest. You can get copies of the first picture by calling at the office, if you've lost yours. The old proverb, "The Early Bird Catches the Worm" applies now. Get started at once. REV. KYLE BOOTH TO GO TO LIMA OCT. IS After two years and three months of service as pastor of the Congregational church of this city, Kev. Kyle Booth has accepted a call to the First Congregational church of Lima, Ohio where he will take up the work .on Oct. 15. The local church is to be congratulated for having been under the guidance and influence of so broad a bible student as Rev. Booth and the Lima church will surely appreciate a man who is broad-minded, active in every department of the church and capable of directing the thought of her people on religious subjects. Since Rev. Booth has been in Amherst he has baptised into the fellowship of tho church one third of tbe present resident membership. The influence of tbe church has been felt in all activities of our town and in the drives for various purposes during the war Rev. Booth took a firm stand for Americanism and said many things publicly that needed to have been said, yet he knew at the time that he would become unpopular with many people because of what be suld. The Pierces, Thuredsy, Feb. 12. With a program noted for its value as well as variety, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Raymond Pierce will appear in the lyceum series this season, adding variety to a well balanced series of entertainments and lectures. Mr. Pierce is at the head of the Pierce School of Kxpression, Boston, and during a part of the year leaves the school with Mrs. Pierce to maintain his acquain tance with the lyceum and chautau- quu audiences of the country. They give a program of stories and sketches successfully blending humor and pa thos with an undercurrent of moral uplift needed so much in the tragedies and comedies of daily life. In presenting this program there are many changes of costume, for each number and sketch Is appropriately costumed, but there are no waits in the program. it is one of the most popular offerings Df the season and more communities wanted their services than could b.' supplied. Everybody likes the Pierces. Col. George W. Bain. Col. George W. Bain, scheduled to speak here as one of the lecturers In the lyceum course, Tuesday evening, March 16, is the oldest man on the platform with one exception, that of Dr. Russell H. Conwell. Even Dr. Conwell who has been lecturng for more than fifty yeurs has not spoken more times than "tho silver tongued orator from Kentucky" as Col. Bain is frequently called. All during the summer of 1918, Col. Bain charmed, delighted and swayed audiences gathered at the chautauquas in the central west and in Canada. Everywhere be was voted tbe finest orator of them all. 1 1 |Vjr sil nBjniii leayanwisnisjsjsmiiii n go

Matt Stensland/Steamboat Pilot & Today
Matt Stensland/Steamboat Pilot & Today
DENVER � The outlook for a major change in Colorado�s drought is uncertain even though holiday storms have improved the mountain snowpack, a climate researcher said Thursday.
�It�s not quite good enough to pull us out of the drought, but at least (it�s) bringing temporary relief and optimism,� State Climatologist Nolan Doesken said.
Snow levels were as low as 40 percent of average earlier this month in the state�s eight major river basins.
On Thursday, the levels ranged from a low of 63 percent of average in the Arkansas River Basin to 85 percent in the Yampa and White river basins.
�While those numbers aren�t great, they�re a big improvement over 2� weeks ago,� Doesken said.
A Christmas Eve storm brought widespread snow to Colorado, including 20 inches on some parts of Grand Mesa in western Colorado.
On Thursday, Wolf Creek Ski Area reported 11 inches of new snow from another storm. Steamboat Springs reported 9 inches of new snow Thursday, and Winter Park reported 8 inches.
The timing was perfect for the holidays, especially for skiers, Doesken said.
�It�s just got the right look for this time of year,� he said.
Doesken said the forecast for the first part of 2013 doesn�t include much moisture, and the longer-range outlook is uncertain.
Conditions in the Pacific Ocean determine some long-distance weather patterns, which in turn affect snowfall in the West. So far, the Pacific has yielded few clues about those patterns, Doesken said.
�It doesn�t bode snowy, it doesn�t bode drought. It doesn�t bode average, either. It just bodes �We don�t know,�� he said.
The U.S. Drought Monitor shows Colorado conditions ranging from moderate � the middle of the five-step scale � to exceptional drought, the worst end of the scale.
Moderate conditions prevail along the northern Front Range from Denver to the Wyoming border. An uneven swath from northern to southwestern Colorado has severe drought conditions, while the rest of the state has either extreme or exceptional drought conditions.

how about fixing pulseaudio instead of thinking up meat product names
Phoronix: Fedora 18 Might Be A Frankfurter Or Spherical Cow
After Red Hat Legal caused a delay in the Fedora 18 code-naming process, the list of possible code-names for this "Beefy Miracle" successor have been narrowed down to eight. As expected by now, all of the names are quite peculiar and the Fedora board is trying to decide whether to even continue this code-naming process...
how about fixing pulseaudio instead of thinking up meat product names
This is indeed as unprofessional as hell. How hard is it to find some random normal codenames? Pick random flowergarden name (as opposed to walled garden), from which beauty blossoms.
Who would have thought that a naming process open to the general public would degenerate into 4chan-style retardation? Okay, so a lot of people (including myself) probably did, but look how long it took!
This list is embarrassing, especially as a Fedora user.
I agree, the way code names are in Fedora are useless. They do not really symbolize anything about the particular release. The ubuntu codenames are just as silly as "Beefy Miracle" and this list, but at least they mean something to the particular release. They certainly are much better about it than just letting a bunch of random people come up with an idiotic name and voting for them, that is the sad part, people actually voted for them.
I think that this the exact reason Red Hat council (Do I remember right? I don't have time to check.) took so much time to post the "chosen ones". The poll to drop code names sure is a sign of their frustration. I imagine just how depressing it is to look for a representative names in the sea of such nonsense...

Drive Towards Darkness (闇への疾走, Yami e no Shissō) is episode 196 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.
While on the way to Konoha, Taka briefly stops by a construction Sasuke recognises. He thinks back to when he first came across it. During a training section near the location, Sasuke remembers how he was falling behind Naruto after he defeated Gaara. He punches a tree and uses Chidori to take some of them out. A girl named Naho almost falls from a cliff nearby and Sasuke saves her. Later, Sasuke and Kakashi had been sent to investigate national wanted list criminals, and Naruto, Sakura and have been sent to escort Naho, a relative of the Fire Daimyō, to Shizume village. Naho wants Sasuke to escort her, but he was with Kakashi in another mission. Naruto disguises himself as Sasuke so Naho agrees to go with them. After Sasuke and Kakashi noted that the fortress was empty, Naho's group was intercepted by Sadai and his associates. Naruto, Sakura, and Naho come across the criminal and his associates. Naruto defeats the associates, but can't take down their leader. They're all captured. Kakashi uses his ninken to track the criminal. Sasuke appears and the leader mocks him, mentioning he alone in his clan wasn't worth killing, mirroring Itachi's words. Sasuke takes on the leader, who reveals an Earth Release Armour, the reason he's able to take on so many attacks. Sasuke defeats him with Chidori, and proceeds to keep punching him. Kakashi stops him and Sasuke goes back to Konoha by himself. Naho comments that Sasuke is scary, but Naruto assures her that Sasuke just has a lot going on with him at the moment, and promises to take her to see him once he's better.
- When Sasuke uses his Sharingan, it has three tomoe instead of two. Sasuke's Sharingan later gained three tomoe, during his fight against Naruto at the Valley of the End.

The shades were easy to install and met my expectations. I was surprised and pleased at the amount in light the shades blocked. I have been sleeping so much better in the darkened room. Great shade!
Bought these to darken room for TV watching. I thought the width was adjustable, but it is not (my bad). I therefore installed the blinds on the outside of the window (placed holders on the window trim. and this actually worked out better for me. Recommended, but be sure what width you need. Color is good, and they do indeed darken the room very well.
Easy to install, total blackout and good insulation properties. Get them!
We bought these for our family room that gets afternoon and evening sun. They are great! The block the sun and make it perfect for watching tv/movies. We had custom cordless blinds for other rooms and these look just as nice. We were told with cordless blinds you should really put them up and down daily. Would order more of these if we needed them.
installed easily and look terrific. really blocks the light.
Can't beat these for the price! easy to install, work well, and blackout the room as needed.
The shades arrived in good time and good condition. They were what I was expecting. Nice quality, easy to hang, they look good. I'm happy with my purchase.
The blinds are very well made and keep the room dark, dark. I have them on my front living room windows and during the day if they are down, they have a clay color, but a night I have lighting on my home and the color is of a light almost neon green. I really don't like that since my home is gray & burgendy. Well, they do a good job and over all they are nice blinds. If you put them in a bedroom and only put them down at night and they are in the back of the home, they are "perfect"!
Cordless mechanism: Excellent, in fact much better than any other similar shades in my house. (And I hope I haven't spoken too soon!) Weight: Rather light, a real plus especially for large windows. Installation: Easy if you can handle an electric drill... Color: This is only caveat. I think the greyish tint will be okay in my guest bedroom, but I would really prefer a truer ivory. If light grey won't go well with your decor, then please think twice and maybe look for something else.

I saw improvement after just one week, and now, three weeks into using it, my nails are healthier and stronger than they have been in a long time. I am finally able to get some length to them, because I am not always filing them to avoid the splitting!I have recommended this product to friends, and encourage everyone to try it. The nightly applications are not a problem, since the product dries quickly.posted Nov 16, 2006Link to this post

My Nailtiques nail polish is SO hard to get where Im located at here and so Im just so happy I can purchase easily here online. I love my Nailtiques. It works great and my nails are always very splitting until i use this to rejuevinate them again. They reinforce the nails well. Both my mom and sister use Nailtiques formula also.The purchase process was also easy with FOLICA and the time frame I received it both times so far have been great too.

The Pacific Northwest has become the center of a growing movement of handcrafted small press publishing. "Short Run Small Press Fest" is one of the country's leading gatherings of self-publishing communities. Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery curator Larry Reid has selected two dozen artists to represent this movement in "Marathon: A Short Run Art Show." This show of original drawings, prints and publications opens on Saturday, November 9 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. The exhibition continues through December 11, 2013. The Marathon title implies the epic effort often required to create a career in comix. To illustrate this concept, Reid has assembled an eclectic mix of emerging artists and accomplished cartoonists with self-publishing backgrounds. The show also acknowledges a new paradigm which affords artists the opportunity to fashion viable professions without the benefit of a major publisher. Fantagraphics Bookstore was an early advocate of the revival of small press media, which was once endangered by the ubiquity of the Internet. Local artists Eroyn Franklin and Kelly Froh, joined by Fantagraphics Bookstore staffer Janice Headley, will present an expanded version of the annual "Short Run Small Press Fest" on Saturday, November 30 at Washington Hall in Seattle.

Fantagraphics with comiXology releases Oil and Water the gripping collaboration between Steve Duin and Shannon Wheeler. This devastating look at the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history follows ten Oregonians to the Gulf Coast to gather first-person accounts of the destructive impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. In this 144-page graphic novel — written by Steve Duin, a columnist for The Oregonian, and illustrated by Eisner-winning New Yorker cartoonist Shannon Wheeler — readers will tour the shark-pocked beach at Grand Isle with the local head of Homeland Security; step aboard the crabbing boat of a 20-year-old Mississippian who works 16-hour days and spends his nights dreaming of M.I.T.; enter the "Hot Zone" where volunteers work desperately to save brown pelicans drenched in British petroleum; and hear shrimpers, Vietnamese and good ol' boys alike, describe what happens to their livelihood when 200 million gallons of oil flood the scene. The readers' perspective on what hope and what mission remains along a ravaged coastline, and one awash in both seafood and oil, will be changed as irrevocably as that of these ten Oregonians. For $17.99, read the true-life story of volunteers who worked (and are still working) in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. And take the bus or walk to work! "A powerful eco-report, Oil and Water also manages to be a report on the gap between classes that isn't about who has what, but rather about what 'having' means to different groups of Americans.... The large black-and-white images are realistic and create individual characteristics for the cast; its smudged texture is an excellent vehicle for the intrusion of oil on beaches, birds, livelihoods, and prospects for the future. Quick to read, but of lasting weight for readers from either side of the divide." "A lot of our goals had to do with keeping the environmental disaster on the radar nationally, saying 'This is something that what we did that's a travesty,' basically, and 'How do we keep paying attention to it so it gets cleaned up and never happens again?' It's a big deal." –Jason Sacks, Comics Bulletin

Fell a little behind on my photo blogging but here are some sights from the floor at Comic-Con International yesterday: Sweet Maggie ink! Jaime was impressed with this one (as were we all). The line for the Gilbert Shelton & Dave McKean signing stretched all the way around the booth. Dave McKean and his cool watch (and hey, it's Anthony Vukojevich, Mome vet Rob Goodin and Tom Neely in the background). The dapper Mr. Shelton (and those guys again). Monte Schulz dropped by to chat with Gary. The No Straight Lines signing with Ed Luce, editor Justin Hall, Dylan Edwards and Trina Robbins. Somebody brought an old Who's Who in the DC Universe for Trina to sign the page with her Cheetah illustration. That lady's done it all! Another DC character also made an appearance at the No Straight Lines signing. (At least I think that's Poison Ivy.) Matt Groening showed off his pal Gary Panter's Dal Tokyo while Akbar & Jeff walked past in the background. Matt recounted for us how he helped save the strip from being dumped at the L.A. Weekly back in the 1980s by arguing that it's one of the greatest works of art of the 20th century. Eric shows off Johnny Gruelle's Mr. Twee Deedle to Matt, who was particularly taken with Gruelle's "birds-eye view" strips in the book and walked away with it under his arm. Shannon Wheeler was signing Oil and Water before he even had a chance to sit down. Shannon joined Mark Kalesniko at the signing table. Our homie John Roderick dropped by and picked up Significant Objects and the new softcover edition of Joost Swarte's Is That All There Is?, confessing that he'd love to have Swarte do the cover art for his next album. By the way, my co-workers have photos & tales of their own that they'll be posting when they get back to the office... RIGHT GUYS?
We're thrilled to announce the Fantagraphics signing schedule for San Diego Comic-Con 2012! We're also extra-excited to announce our first-ever Preview Night signing!!! That's right! Last year, we met a lot of customers who lamented that they were only able to score a pass for Preview Night and they were missing out on all the signings. So, we've got the great Gilbert Hernandez, Mario Hernandez, and Gilbert's talented daughter Natalia signing at our booth that evening! You complained; we listened! Yeah, don't get too used to that. And in honor of our Love & Rockets 30th Anniversary Celebration, we're doubling up on our daily signings with The Bros to make sure everyone gets a chance to get their books signed! (And, Mr. Johnny Ryan will be signing at our booth on Saturday!)Wednesday, July 11th: Thursday, July 12th: Friday, July 13th: 11:00 - 12:30 PM Gilbert + Natalia Hernandez / Jaime Hernandez / Mario Hernandez 12:30 - 2:30 PM Johnny Ryan / Steven Weissman 3:00 - 5:00 PM Gilbert + Natalia Hernandez / Jaime Hernandez / Mario Hernandez 5:00 - 6:00 PM Mark Kalesniko / Michel Gagné Sunday, July 15th: |
