Shenzhen: A Travelogue from China. Drawn & Quarterly (purchase at Amazon.ca)
Reviewed by Andrew Yang
Although the subtitle of Jimmy Corrigan implies a global perspective, one may initially wonder whether Chris Ware's intentions were ironic. The text takes place almost solely in two cities-Waukosha, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois-and focuses intensely on the experiences and histories of one family alone. Between these experiences, however, there are subtle moments that reveal intended audiences across the world. As one example, the opening panels begin in outer space, focusing rapidly on the planet, then the coastline, then finally on Jimmy's house itself. As another, the narrative of his grandfather's childhood takes place during the construction of the World's Columbian Exposition, an expression of America's optimism and global visions.
Such moments, however, are incidental compared to other themes more subtly revealed throughout the text. Arjun Appadurai mentions globalization as an ironically localizing process, with technology, ethnicity, media, finance, and ideology as concerns linking cultures across the globe with one another. Each of these, particularly the first two, is present in Jimmy Corrigan, in the dialogic aspects of Jimmy's childhood and his grandfather's childhood. Technology is relevant in both the massive structures of the World's Fair, the mother's recurrent presence on the phone, and even the paper models and building instructions ed between episodes. Ethnicity is apparent in the immigrant Italian child who befriends and then bullies Jimmy senior, and in the family history surrounding James Corrigan's adopted daughter. History and memory continually intertwine. One particular example occurs in the mock postcards ed in the middle of the text; one of them depicts a local diner called "Pam's Wagon Wheel," narrating, on its back, the story behind the gum on the bottom of one of its tables and other anecdotes about its patrons.
Shenzhen is a narrative less about individuals than place. Full-page illustrations of various scenes, from a skyscraper under construction, to a bustling city street, and tarpaulin-covered balconies, emphasize the narrative's atmosphere. The plot features Delisle, under a three-month contract from Dupuis to supervise a project outsourced to an animation studio in Shenzhen, China.
The subject matter of this work holds obvious dangers of Orientalism-of gazing upon Eastern cultures with the assumption of ontological authority, without accommodating for dialogue or reciprocation. Though Edward Said first diagnoses it in discussions concerning the Middle East, others have later revealed it applied to East Asian countries and cultures as well. With this in mind, Delisle's attitude towards the Chinese may arouse suspicion at first, but remains acceptable by the end; Delisle's accounts are neither expert nor do they make any claims to be expert. They are, however, the most honest account of a single perspective. Delisle explicitly acknowledges his "colonial reflexes," and in one bout compares Dante's descent to Hell to a journey through China, experiencing no wonder over the fact that Shenzhen is one of the fastest growing cities in the world since 1970 and a forerunner of the country's economic revival (126). By the end of the book, however, he also warms to his co-workers, enjoying one lonely Christmas with a fellow animator, and the jokes of the company manager over dinner at the end of his stay.
The fundamental question driving Delisle's narrative, then, is not whether he will "survive" the China he and the previous supervisor find hellish, but precisely what kinds of forces drive him there in the first place. Travelogues, according to their old French root travail, are not just about journeys, but also about acts of labour. Delisle is in China under contract from Dupuis, the largest publishing firm of comics in France. Shenzhen, for all its journeys, says extraordinarily little about the corporation catalyzing them, which is somewhat disturbing since, by definition, only the most peripheral operations of a company are ever exported to foreign firms. How aware is Delisle of his marginal status, not only amidst the Chinese but within the very French corporation that employs him? His final attitude implies, disturbingly, unqualified obedience: "There!" he says in the text's last few panels. "Three months of good and faithful service." Both these graphic novels are about place, and how that particular place holds significance on a global scale. Corrigan shows that significance through its profound mundanity, while Shenzhen explicitly reveals that significance but misdirects its attentions in the end. The former shows globality through individualism, the latter globality's effects on individualism. Both use their media to create complex environments that should provide fruitful discussion in multiple fields of study.

The apartment is spacious,has very nice views and is kept in good order, however there is nothing there that feels particularly welcoming. Reading other reviews we wonder if perhaps the ownership has changed hands? No usual book / file detailing a bit of local knowledge - local shops, restaurants ect. not one leaflet of any kind in either German or English regarding any local attractions.
Owner seemed nice enough, but we only saw her once at the beginning of the break when we were given the keys, and again when she popped her head out of the flat below to collect the keys as we left.
Appartment is in nice location, but you aren't in Bacarach you are outside it in a very small Hamlet. You could hike down the mountain into Bacrach looking at the trails, but don't go there thinking you can have a gentle stoll into town its too far away for that. mehr

Freshman Focus: Colin McGovern
Jul 15, 2013, 6:00 PM EDT
For all the complaints recently about Notre Dame struggling to get the best players out of the Chicagoland area (one of the only gripes you could muster about this staff's recruiting efforts), the Irish did great work landing offensive lineman Colin McGovern. A throwback player to the Lou Holtz /Joe Moore era, McGovern looks to be the type of road-grader that would've fit in well two decades ago as well.
With depth thin and experience virtually nonexistent on the interior of the offensive line behind Chris Watt, McGovern is an important building block to the future of Harry Hiestand's troops. A late season knee injury suffered during his high school playoffs forced McGovern to rehabilitate a torn ligament, but he should be healthy and ready to go come training camp.
Let's take a closer look at McGovern:
While McGovern falls outside of both Rivals and 247's top 250 list, he was an Under Armor All-American and had an offer from Alabama, so somebody that knows something sees some promise in McGovern's game.
McGovern was a first-team All-State and All-Area performer in Chicago and didn't allow a sack during his junior or senior seasons, playing in one of Chicago's premiere football leagues. Other offers for McGovern include Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, Northwestern, Ohio State and Wisconsin.
While the recruiting services didn't see him as an elite prospect, his offer list says something otherwise.
McGovern's PCL tear probably doesn't help his chance to get on the field, but then again he shouldn't see the field anyway. Redshirting a prospect like McGovern makes the most sense, especially with enough depth on the interior of the line if everybody stays healthy.
Looking into the future, it'll be interesting to see how McGovern works into a depth chart that might only feature Conor Hanratty and Mark Harrell next season, with Bruce Heggie not necessarily guaranteed to return for a fifth year.
There will be more than a few moving pieces on the interior of the offensive line, and McGovern can stake a claim to playing time with some solid work with Paul Longo and his strength team.
There's plenty of room for contributors on the interior of the offensive line and McGovern looks like a leading contender. If the Irish are looking to find a tougher breed of lineman to play guard, then it sounds like Kelly thinks they may have found one of them in McGovern.
"Colin is more than just a player from the Midwest; he's a physical, strong guy that can play inside for us," Kelly said on Signing Day. "Here's another guy that came up to camp, and we got a chance to see him in person, and that makes such a big difference to us. He'll be a nice player for us working inside out."
Inside-out gives you the idea that this staff believes that McGovern could be a tackle if they wanted him to be, though the Irish staff sees McGovern teaming with John Montelus as guards while Mike McGlinchey and Steve Elmer will be tackles and Hunter Bivin starts as a center.
It's basically been all Charlie Weis recruits for the Irish staff along the offensive line. As guys like Zack Martin and Watt graduate, it'll be interesting to see if this staff's evaluation skills are as good along the offensive line as they are at other positions. If so, the best is yet to come from this offensive line.

Irish A-to-Z: Sam Mustipher
Jul 30, 2015, 4:30 PM EDT
This spring, you'd have probably won some money if you had Sam Mustipher emerging as the No. 2 center. But with Matt Hegarty's departure and some failed experiments before him, it was Mustipher who was backing up Nick Martin and snapping the ball to Everett Golson in a spring game played on Notre Dame's practice field.

Irish A-to-Z: Nyles Morgan
Jul 30, 2015, 12:45 PM EDT
Last year, we saw what a talented freshman linebacker in over his head looked like. His name was Nyles Morgan, and the blue-chip recruit personified the second-half defensive collapse that flushed the Irish season down the drain. Want the good part? Stick around, as Irish A-to-Z continues.
Irish A-to-Z: John Montelus
Jul 30, 2015, 10:00 AM EDT
When Brian Kelly plucked offensive lineman John Montelus from his hometown of Everett, Massachusetts, the Irish looked to be adding another mauler to the interior of Harry Hiestand's offensive line. And after two seasons of reshaping his body and learning the ropes, Montelus is in a competitive two-deep, still looking for a role in this offense.

Irish A-to-Z: Colin McGovern
Jul 29, 2015, 2:00 PM EDT
Entering his third year in the program, offensive lineman Colin McGovern hasn't found his way into the lineup. That's the product of a depth chart filled with other talented options, as well as McGovern dealing with injuries and position switches as he looks to find his niche.
Irish A-to-Z: Mike McGlinchey
Jul 29, 2015, 1:30 PM EDT
Last preseason, Mike McGlinchey was the odd-man out along the offensive line, losing out on the opportunity to be the team's starting right tackle. Entering 2015, he's one of the key X factors that'll determine whether or not Harry Hiestand's offensive line is one of the best in the country.
Irish A-to-Z: Jacob Matuska
Jul 29, 2015, 11:45 AM EDT
With Notre Dame's defense falling apart, second-year player Jacob Matuska was thrown into the fire, earning playing time after the first (and most of the second) line of defense went down. Let's check on the rising junior as Irish A-to-Z rolls on.
Irish A-to-Z: Greer Martini
Jul 28, 2015, 4:00 PM EDT
The first recruit to join the 2014 recruiting class, Greer Martini may have been envisioned as a 3-4 linebacker in Bob Diaco's scheme, but he very quickly showed he could play anywhere the rebooted Irish defense needed him. Irish A-to-Z keeps on keepin' on.
Offseason Q&A: Boston College
Jul 28, 2015, 12:44 PM EDT
While discussing Notre Dame's "rivals" usually turns into some type of screaming hot-take opportunity, it's undeniable that the Irish's date with Boston College in Fenway Park is a wonderful place to renew a "rivalry" that's gotten a lot less regular.
Irish A-to-Z: Nick Martin
Jul 28, 2015, 10:00 AM EDT
In his first season without his brother on campus, Nick Martin looked to make a name for himself. But 2014 was a battle for Martin, not just to escape the shadows of his All-Pro brother, but to regain his health after a lingering knee injury and a multitude of other ailments made the entire season a grind.
Irish A-to-Z: Cole Luke
Jul 27, 2015, 3:02 PM EDT
Ready or not, Cole Luke was thrown into the deep end in 2014, forced into a starting role after KeiVarae Russell's August suspension. Paired with Cody Riggs as the team's field cornerback, Luke more than held his own as a sophomore starter, taking on one of the most challenging schedules in college football, with elite receivers testing the Irish secondary nearly every week.
Irish A-to-Z: Tyler Luatua
Jul 27, 2015, 11:52 AM EDT
Looking for a sledgehammer in an offense that sometimes gets branded finesse? Look no further than tight end Tyler Luatua. The big-bodied thumper may not look like the rest of the tight end depth chart, but certainly will come in handy as the Irish do their best to transform into a run-to-win team in 2015.
Irish A-to-Z: DeShone Kizer
Jul 26, 2015, 9:00 AM EDT

Jul 24, 2015, 2:00 PM EDT
After Jim Grobe presided over the Wake Forest football program for 13 seasons, the school made a change bringing in coach Dave Clawson after five consecutive losing seasons. What followed was ugly, an understandable bottoming out—and a three-win season that may have been one of the least impressive in any Power Five conference.

Meteorological tower to be erected soon
Energy company to monitor wind, collect other data.
Tangible evidence of a wind farm south of Gothenburg and Cozad is expected the end of the month.
A meteorological tower to track wind speed and other data will be erected in a remote location five miles east and two miles north of Farnam.
Kyle Simmons, lead developer for Geronimo Wind Energy, shared that information Thursday night in Eustis as the wind gusted more than 60 mph.
Property owners whose land is in the path of the Dawson Wind Farm were invited to the meeting.
During an interview Friday, Simmons said the tower will be in the heart of the project's footprint which is seven miles wide—between Cozad and Gothenburg—and two miles deep.
The 197-foot tower, secured by guy wires, is solar powered and will transmit wireless data through a cellular network, he said.
In addition to collecting wind speed and direction at various heights, he said barometric pressure and temperature will also be measured.
Before wind turbines can be erected in the area, Simmons said the number of avian species that could be affected will be counted by wildlife specialists.
However a special device that counts bats will be installed on the tower since the nocturnal species is difficult to see when active.
Simmons said bird count information will also be studied by computers such as tracking migratory paths of bald eagles.
Data will be collected for at least a year.
Geronimo officials continue to search for a company that will buy the wind power generated by the farm.
"We hope to work with a local provider," Simmons said.
The company must also tie the energy it produces to a transmission grid, he said, which would most likely be through Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc. (MISO).
Simmons said MISO oversees the grid and companies that use it in the midwest region.
"But it takes years to get on the grid," he noted.
Another option, he said, is to partner with a power plant already on the grid.
For example, Geronimo could partner with a natural gas plant that operates during peak times, which would allow the company to put its wind-generated power on the grid during non-peak hours.
"There's still so much to do to insure it's a viable and economical project," Simmons said, noting that the company hopes to build the farm within the next two to four years.
Last month, the Edina, MN-based company, received a special use permit from the Dawson County Commissioners to construct the test tower.
Officials announced plans last November to build the $150-$200 million farm along the southern edge of Dawson County.
The company has lease agreements from about 40 landowners that involves 14,000 acres.
Simmons said Geronimo hopes to obtain agreements for 19,000 acres.
Once built, the farm will produce 100 megawatts of power.

The progress of the game is going extremely well and I can't wait to finish this bad boy up and let you guys play. There is still a lot to be created and edited and I'm sure you guys understand that it's not easy to make such a complex game. Plus, I'm working on this solo.. so it's hard on me to work since I have a lot of school now a days and I'm pretty busy with family as well so I have to put the game second on my list. Not that I want you guys to wait just a little longer, I'm just a reeaaaly busy person and I need my breaks every once in a while lol. So all you fangirls who can't wait any longer I'm sorry I can't speed up much faster.
Oh, I've also come to a decision. For those of you who don't know or haven't read my previous journal like I asked you too.., I am making two games of this project. An 'Axis Powers' Version and an 'Allied Powers' Version. Axis will first be release with the following of the allies game. I know

for those underagies who have parents not wanting to give out your address, i have a solution. you CAN write a fake address, because the only time the post office check the return address is if it needs to be returned to sender. so you can make up a name THAT SOUNDS REAL of course. put down a city, state, and zipcode that is relatively close to you so that it doesn't look like you're coming from texas if you're really from iowa. (in case they question, which they won't, say you're visiting and the return address is where you actually live, they won't look into it.) and just make up a street number and name. for good measure, you could even make up an apartment number or something. in the US it's perfectly legal to send things anonymously. other countries, not sure. here is one of the sites i found the answer:

so i'm always trying to find yaoi pictures, partly cause it gives me ideas for poses, and partly because i just love guy love. (and not the kind of guy love explained in scrubs.) but google and photobucket have failed me. so i went to the hentai site that's very reliable on that kind of stuff, and DOESN'T give you viruses! (and yes, i went to a hentai site.) however, this may sound VERY strange... but i go on it looking for cute/romantic pictures that are relatively censored, and YES, there are a great number of those kind of pictures. actually i was browsing through the yuri folder and came across a few just single chibi girls just sitting and looking cute, the type you'd find on any regualr anime sight, and i was all like "aaaaaawww..."
but yesterday i browsed through the yaoi folder and found my self... annoyed. for many reasons. one, the yaoi mostly involved shows, and i don't like shows, i like gene

Explore a digital space, a space that has got different dimensions. Navigate in a universe made of numbers, formulae, and iterative calculations. This is our own universe. Thanks to fractals you can visualize the naked beauty of nature.
This video is a panorama of the Mandelbox parameter space. The Mandelbox is a 3 dimensional fractal object discovered in 2010 by Tom Lowe and named after the father of fractal geometry Benoit Mandebrot.
What we see here is actually a fixed cut in the middle of the Mandelbox, which has a cubic shape in general. We don't travel in our usual 3D space, instead we explore another 3D space, where each dimension corresponds to one of the 3 parameters found in the Mandelbox formula.
All the morphing going on is due to the variations of these 3 parameters - see links below for a detailed explanation of the Mandelbox formula -. They are the 3 axis of the space

winnerthe art thief's accounts that we knew of have been deactivated. I wanna thank you all for your help in reporting her. however, still keep an eye out for stolen artwork when searching through deviant art. for example, about a year ago, I was looking up fanart of the powerpunk girls, and I saw a really good vector of them. so I saved it to my "powerpuff girls" folder on my computer. then I continue to search, and a few pages later, I find the same exact picture. in my head, I'm like "wait... that looks familiar..." so I compare the two and find the first one was stolen. I reported it of course and alerted the original artist, who I ended up watching because she was EXTREMELY good. so when searching for stuff, just try and keep an eye out for a picture you may've seen before and double check to make sure what you saw was correct.

By Khurram Shahzad | AFP – Mon, Jul 14, 2014
Zunera once dreamed of becoming a computer engineer. Instead, aged 16, she was tricked into prostitution in the UAE, beginning a four-year nightmare of cruelty, violence and rape.
Pakistan has long been an important source of cheap labour for the Gulf state, particularly its booming construction sector.
But campaigners and officials say hundreds of young Pakistani women are also trafficked every year to supply the thriving sex trade in the brothels and nightclubs of Dubai. Zunera and her sister Shaista were two of them.
More than a year after she escaped, Zunera's pain is still etched into her stumbling, hesitant voice -- and also into her body, which bears the marks of countless beatings.
Vivid, angry scars run the length of her legs from ankle to hip, reminders of a botched operation after she was shot three times by the gang who trafficked

3d Tutorial: Scherk-Collins Saddle Surface RingIn this tutorial, I'll show you two distinct techniques to modeling a toroidal ring of saddle surfaces, known as a Scherk-Collins sculpture, without any plugins, addons, or 3rd party software. This beautiful mathematical object could be useful as a pendant, earring, or any kind of modern art sculpture in a cg environment. The only limit is your own imagination. The common modeling techniques I'm using here could be easily translated to any capable 3d polygon modeling software, like Blender.3d Tutorial: Scherk-Collins Saddle Surface Ring4 months ago in Personal More Like This

By Rich Cline on Thursday 1st September 2011
In his senior year at a Manhattan prep school, George (Highmore) can't muster up the energy to do his schoolwork. A bright kid with serious artistic talent, he's in trouble with the principal (Underwood) for failing his classes. He's also uninterested in communicating with his mother (Wilson) or stepdad (Robards). The class' hot bad girl Sally (Roberts) takes an interest in him, but he can't do much more than follow her around, even when his mentor painter (Angarano) urges him to make a move.
Describing the plot pretty much explains why the film is so annoying: George is such a lump that it's difficult to root for him. Highmore plays him with a spark of wit and flashes of intelligent cynicism, but the script continually bashes him back down through a series of rather contrived events and encounters with thinly written characters. Even his caring teachers (Silverstone, Conroy and Dowd) and Sally's sexy mum (Reaser) aren't allowed to bring him out of the dumps.
And the main problem is that the formula is so clear from the beginning that we know where it's heading. So watching George wallow in his navel-gazing gloom really tests our patience. Writer-director Wiesen has said he wants to highlight that key moment around age 18 when life seems to take a deafening pause before adulthood begins, but the over-structured script and warm direction don't have enough personality to bring this to life with any real resonance.
The anecdotal structure lurches from Christmas to Valentine's Day to graduation only because it can't be bothered to find something interesting in a normal day. In fact, the film feels almost painfully anonymous, without any edge of truthfulness. Which is ironic since this is one point made to George about his art. And the only message seems to be that people without ambition are worthless, which is an odd central theme for a movie about someone who doesn't know what he wants to do.

My radio history started as a Novice in 1959. Upgrading and moving led to ten different callsigns over the years including NA8M, K8HJ, AA8FP, KD8QL, WB8CIY, WA8EIY, WA2VBF, K3IVT, KN9QMQ. I received my Technician license in 1961, Advanced license in 1968 and Amateur Extra license in 1992.
My interests include CW and DX. After years of trying, I finally made DXCC Honor Roll.
I am net control on Wednesdays for the Seagull Net (3.940mHz) and Pine Tree Net (3.596mHz), the Maine state-wide SSB and CW traffic nets. I am Maine Section Traffic Manager.
After 35 years as a school administrator in Michigan, I retired in July of 2001. In April of 2005 we moved to Waterford, Maine and renovated an 1860's farmhouse and barn.
My shack is in the family room in a roll-top desk. If I roll down the top, the radio equipment disappers.
I have two antennas, a 130 foot doublet up 80 feet and 32 foot vertical doublet up 80 feet at the top. The long doublet is fed with home brew open wire line. The vertical doublet is fed with 450 ohm ladder line. Both go to baluns, a coax jumper and an tuner for each. Here's the 130' doublet.
It's hard to see the doublet.
Here's the current gear and RF Path -
I do some contesting. Check http://www.3830scores.com/ and enter my callsign to see my scores. I use a lot of software - DXLab Suite for logging and spotting, N4PY for rig control, SmartSDR for the Flex and NaP3 for the K3 panadapter.

The first step in any tub-design decision is to tour local models and stores to get a good idea of what's available to meet your needs. Here are some trends and general thoughts on design for your consideration:
- Reproduction claw-foot and skirted tubs are resurrecting an early-19th-century stand-alone style.
- The most common type of tub is the drop-in tub. Drop-in tubs leave the tub surround (or countertop of the tub) and skirt open for limitless design possibilities.
- The skirt can match the flooring for a free-floating look or can be covered with wood paneling embellished with columns and molding for a dressier, more traditional look.
- Polished slab stones are wonderful choices for contemporary bathtub skirts.
- Tub placement is important to great design. Tubs are often separated from the shower. A favorite option is to place the tub in front of large windows with wonderful views.
