Wizard in 'save cathedral' bid
Relevant offers
The Wizard is launching a campaign to save Christ Church Cathedral, saying he is "one Gothic icon trying to save another".
Protesters are also expected to visit Cathedral Square when it is partially opened to the public today. Councillor Aaron Keown is encouraging people to turn up with placards and to tie ribbons to the metal barriers.
The Wizard plans to launch his campaign next week with an advertisement in The Press.
"I am trying to save what is left of the building," he said.
"The church has failed us and Cera [Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority] has failed us, so what is left? The Wizard.
"I am the obvious third way and will use wit, humour and art to punch through.
"If we knock down the cathedral, the tourism trade will suffer really badly. It will be an economic disaster."
The campaign will be run in partnership with heritage campaign group Iconic, he said.
It emerged yesterday that the Christchurch City Council has had no communication with cathedral leaders for more than four months.
Council staff have not received any correspondence from cathedral leaders since October, an Official Information Act request by The Press has revealed.
"Apart from receiving this week's media release from Christ Church Cathedral, there has been no further correspondence between the heritage response team and the Anglican Church Property Trust with regard to the cathedral," a council spokeswoman wrote in an email.
Deputy Mayor Ngaire Button said she was not concerned by the lack of communication.
"I don't think there is really any conversation to be had with the council. I am hopeful we will have conversations in the future about what will be rebuilt," she said.
"I don't expect that the cathedral [representatives] will come and speak to the council about every decision. I don't think the council has anything to do with it.
"The council has invested in a lot of buildings. It is the same with the Arts Centre and a lot of historic buildings around the city.
"They are not all coming to us and saying, `What should we do now?'. I am not going to go tromping around in it criticising them."
Iconic chairman Ian Lochhead said the lack of communication was `regrettable".
"It is par for the course in terms of the way they have proceeded and refused to make public any further documentation on their decision-making process."

The Nashville Predators picked up the veteran defenceman they were seeking Saturday when they sent centre Eric Belanger to the Atlanta Thrashers for defenceman Vitaly Vishnevski.
The trade was the second in two days for Belanger, who was acquired by Nashville from the Carolina Hurricanes for centre Josef Vasicek.

Right on, I'll let you know how they turn out after dehydration ;-)
RatingRate me!
¾ cup walnuts, soaked (opt)
1 cup raisins
¼ cup carob or cacao powder
Recipe Directions
Process everything in food processor until sticky. Roll into balls and enjoy!
You could also put these in a pan and refrigerate them until they were firm, then cut them into bars (like Larabars, I guess?).
Yummm! I love walnuts. :D
KhaasLadki's ThoughtsBy KhaasLadki
Easy and quick cookie/snack bar made with only 3 ingredients and a processor! You could use dates instead of raisins if you wanted to – I haven't but you could!

No, because I don't have a dehydrator yet. It's in the mail, though - so I will have to try!
Have you tried dehydrating these? It sounds like a great dough for a flat walnut cookie... Think I might try that in the next couple days

Cloître St-Trophime : Michelin's recommendations
The carved decoration of the 12C-14C cloisters is most remarkable, in particular that of the capitals and the magnificent corner pillars in the north gallery (on the left on entering). Those in the east gallery, next to the refectory, depict the Life of Christ and those in the south gallery relate that of St Trophimus. The west gallery focuses on typically Provençal subjects such as St Martha and the Tarasque. The south gallery leads to the cloisters, chapter house, church nave and sturdy bell tower.

'Following' becomes No. 2 new drama
January 22, 2013
After all the hype, Fox's new drama "The Following" debuted to good numbers Monday night.
The show drew a 3.1 adults 18-49 rating at 9 p.m., according to Nielsen, tying CBS's "Elementary" as the No. 2 new drama premiere this season.
NBC's "Revolution," which aired behind hit show "The Voice" last fall, was the No. 1 bow with a 4.1 in September.
It will be interesting to see "Following's" seven-day DVR gain when those numbers are released three weeks from now. In its huge promotional campaign for the show, Fox tried a new tactic by reminding viewers to set their DVRs to record the drama, rather than urging them to tune in at a certain time.
"Following's" debut built by 35 percent on its lead-in, "Bones," which drew a 2.3.
While the new drama grew slightly, from a 3.1 in its first half hour to a 3.2 in its second, it still finished second in its timeslot behind CBS's "2 Broke Girls" (3.7) and "Mike & Molly" (3.3). Both comedies were down from last week, suggesting "Following" may have lured away a few viewers.
Still, CBS won the night with its comedy lineup plus 10 p.m. drama "Hawaii Five-0," which was also down from last week to a 2.2 after hitting a season high with its post-AFC Championship episode Sunday night. That drew a 3.4.
In the battle of reality shows from 8 to 10 p.m., ABC's "The Bachelor" grew 4 percent week to week to a season-high 2.5, just edging NBC's "The Biggest Loser," even to last week with a 2.4.
And the CW's "The Carrie Diaries" fell from last week, losing a tenth in 18-49s (down to a 0.5) and 300,000 total viewers (down to 1.3 million) from its premiere.
CBS led the night among 18-49s with a 3.0 average overnight rating and an 8 share. Fox was second at 2.7/7, ABC third at 2.3/6, NBC fourth at 2.0/5, Univision fifth at 1.7/4, Telemundo sixth at 0.7/2 and CW seventh at 0.4/1.
As a reminder, all ratings are based on live-plus-same-day DVR playback, which includes shows replayed before 3 a.m. the night before. Seven-day DVR data won't be available for several weeks. Forty-six percent of Nielsen households have DVRs.
At 8 p.m. CBS was first with a 3.4 for "How I Met Your Mother" (3.7) and a rerun of "The Big Bang Theory" (3.2), followed by ABC with a 2.5 for "Bachelor." NBC and Fox tied for third at 2.3, NBC for "Loser" and Fox for "Bones," with Univision fifth with a 1.7 for "Por Ella Soy Eva," Telemundo sixth with a 0.8 for "Rosa Diamante" and CW seventh with a 0.5 for "The Carrie Diaries."
CBS was first again at 9 p.m. with a 3.5 for "Girls" (3.7) and "Molly" (3.3), while Fox moved to second with a 3.1 for "Following." ABC and NBC tied for third at 2.5, ABC for more "Bachelor" and NBC for more "Loser," with Univision fifth with a 1.9 for "Amores Verdaderos," Telemundo sixth with a 0.6 for "La Patrona" and CW seventh with a 0.4 for "90210."
At 10 p.m. CBS led yet again with a 2.2 for "Hawaii," with ABC second with a 2.0 for "Castle." Univision was third with a 1.5 for "Amor Bravio," NBC fourth with a 1.3 for "Deception" and Telemundo fifth with a 0.6 for "Pablo Escobar: El Patron del Mal" (0.7) and "El Rostro de la Venganza" (0.5).
CBS also finished first for the night among households with a 6.4 average overnight rating and a 10 share. Fox was second at 5.6/8, ABC third at 5.2/8, NBC fourth at 3.3/5, Univision fifth at 2.1/3, Telemundo sixth at 0.8/1 and CW seventh at 0.7/1.

text: Hello all. I am having more fun than I should have with Ubuntu Studio. I just can't stop writing music. Thanks to everyone for putting this together. I am in the market to get a better sound card. I have been using a Sound Blaster Audigy and have gotten pretty good mileage with Ubuntu Studio for simple sequencing and sampling. I am moving towards a more professional setup where I can track vocals and guitar so the Audigy may not cut it. I have been research the latest cards and microphones to accomplish my goals on a small budget. The two cards I am looking at are: Echo Gina3G M-Audio Fast Track Pro Mobile USB They are both listed in the ALSA matrix and all features are said to work. I wanted to do a reality check and see if anyone on the list use these cards and what their experience with them has been with Ubuntu Studio (or any other distro using jack). Any feedback would be great. Thanks in advance. Greg ____________________________________________________________________________________ No need to miss a message. Get email on-the-go with Yahoo!

A senior American military official has visited Uzbekistan to discuss unspecified military cooperation issues.
General Lloyd Austin, the commander of U.S. Central Command, visited Tashkent on July 27 and met with President Islam Karimov and other officials. Uzbekistan's press release on the event said that Afghanistan was the topic of conversation, among other issues of regional security. RIA Novosti, citing "a source close to the negotiations," said the talks focused on the delivery of over 300 armored vehicles that Washington has promised. CENTCOM does not appear to have commented on the visit at all.
All that is fairly routine, and the talks also likely dealt with the possibility of further U.S. military aid that officials in Washington have hinted at. Meanwhile, Russia also recently ratified a deal under which Moscow would write off $900 billion in Uzbekistan's debt in order to open up new lines of credit for military purchases.
When it comes to human rights and Uzbekistan, the news is usually bad.
The U.S. State Department's 2015 Trafficking in Persons Report, published on July 27, does not buck that trend, but it is notable in recognizing what it says are efforts by Tashkent to reduce forced child labor.
That has prompted the American government to promote Uzbekistan from Tier 3 to Tier 2 on its watch list — a move that has stunned the Cotton Campaign advocacy group.
Cotton Campaign, which has as it aim the end of forced child and adult labor in Uzbekistan's cotton industry, says the upgrade lets Tashkent off the hook.
"The Uzbek government continues to operate one of the largest state-orchestrated systems of forced labor in the world," the group said in a statement.
Nadejda Ataeva, president at the Association for Human Rights in Central Asia, said in comments carried on the Cotton Campaign statement, that the United States "has effectively sent a message to Uzbek authorities that forced labor of millions of its citizens is cost-free."
The U.S. State Department paints a grim picture, but offers some ostensibly consolatory remarks in passing:
"Government-compelled forced labor of adults remains endemic during the annual cotton harvest. In 2014, despite a central government-decree banning all participation of those under age 18 in the cotton harvest, local officials mobilized children in some districts. In addition, across much of the country, third-year college and lyceum students continued to be mobilized, an unknown number of whom were not yet 18 years old."
"Government-compelled forced labor of adults remains endemic during the annual cotton harvest.

In addition, across much of the country, third-year college and lyceum students continued to be mobilized, an unknown number of whom were not yet 18 years old."
Kyrgyzstan's president has suggested that Russia's military base in the country will have to leave at some point, perhaps in an effort to signal that even as relations with the United States suffer, he doesn't intend the country to be a Russian vassal.
"We have a long term agreement, but sooner or later in the future Kyrgyzstan will have to defend itself, without relying on the bases of brotherly friendly countries," Almazbek Atambayev said at a press conference on July 27.
He did suggest that the base's presence was still welcome today: the base's establishment "was due to threats which the republic can not withstand still today, so the decision on the opening of the base was correct and remains relevant today," he added.
But the reference to the base leaving some day recalled a somewhat stronger statement Atambayev made in 2012 when he publicly questioned whether Kyrgyzstan needed a Russian base. And it comes at a particularly geopolitically volatile time for Bishkek; last week the government canceled a key treaty with the United States in what is probably the most serious diplomatic crisis with Washington in the short history of their bilateral relations. So is Atambayev trying to show that, just because he's angry at Washington, that doesn't mean the country is automatically in Moscow's camp?
In any case, the importance of the air base, at Kant near Bishkek, has risen substantially since 2012. Russia set up the base in 2003, its first new foreign military base since the collapse of the Soviet Union. It had been more or less merely a geopolitical placeholder with no apparent function except as a response of sorts to the U.S. setting up its own air base in the country.
The World Trade Organization has approved terms for Kazakhstan to join, paving the way for Central Asia's leading economy to become a full member toward the end of the year after nearly two decades of "challenging" talks.
Speaking in Geneva after signing the accession protocol with WTO Director-General Roberto Azevedo on July 27, President Nursultan Nazarbayev hailed the imminent accession as a sign that Kazakhstan's economy is opening up to the world.
"In improving the investment climate, we are giving priority to the diversification of our economy," he said in remarks quoted by state news agency Kazinform.
Astana sees accession as crucial to its bid to wean Kazakhstan's economy off its dependence on oil and gas. To that end, Nazarbayev reminded investors that Kazakhstan has devised perks for those putting money into the non-extractive sectors.
The government has indicated that it aims to complete the ratification process by October 31 and hopes Kazakhstan will be a full member once the next WTO ministerial conference comes around in mid-December.
Kazakhstan's accession negotiations have lasted 19 years and been among the most "challenging" the global body has faced with any country, the WTO said in a statement issued when talks were finally completed last month.
It made it clear that the process had been substantially set back by Kazakhstan joining the Russia-led Customs Union (a regional free trade zone) in 2010, which evolved into the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) this year.
Kazakhstan's accession process slowed after Russia first said the Customs Union members would negotiate as a bloc to join, before proceeding to join alone in 2012.
Azerbaijan reportedly has arrested for supposed narcotics peddling the brother-in-law of the director of Meydan TV, an online television station that has become a widely cited source of information about alleged abuses within President Ilham Aliyev's administration .
In a July 27 Facebook statement, the Berlin-based station's director, Emin Milli, claimed that the detention of his brother-in-law, Nazim Agabeyov, an IT professional, is intended to punish "relatives, family members and take them as hostages" for his station's reporting. He dismissed the allegations as "bogus and absurd."
Azerbaijan's interior ministry has not commented on the report about Agabeyov's arrest, Contact.az reported Turan news agency as saying. Agabeyov's father, Mais, told the agency on July 27 that the family has had no contact with his son, nor with investigators since Nazim Agabeyov's detention "several days ago."
Drug charges are routinely filed against critics of the Aliyev government and their relatives.On July 22, a similar accusation was placed against Rufat Zakhidov, a nephew of the editor-in-chief of the opposition Azadliq (Freedom) newspaper, Ganimat Zakhidov, now living in self-imposed exile abroad. Another nephew and a cousin of Zakhidov were arrested a few days previously on minor charges.
Since the conclusion of the European Games this month, reports about officials taking an interest in Meydan TV also have increased.
Imprisoned opposition leader Vladimir Kozlov has been targeted for harsh punitive measures for alleged violations of prison rules, including "speaking ill" of President Nursultan Nazarbayev, his wife told EurasiaNet.org on July 27.
The timing of the punishment could be intended to deny parole eligibility to Kozlov, who is serving a seven-and-a-half year sentence on charges of fomenting fatal violence in western Kazakhstan in 2011 and plotting to overthrow the state.
Aliya Turusbekova told EurasiaNet.org that prison authorities have characterized her husband as a "persistent offender" and transferred him "to a strict-regime cellblock" on July 27.
Kozlov is accused of "threatening the [work] team leader with physical reprisals and speaking ill of the country's president," she explained, citing information she received from his lawyer. The change in his status means greater restrictions on telephone calls, visits and parcels, Turusbekova said.
An official at the prison colony in Zarechniy in south-eastern Kazakhstan, where Kozlov is being held, declined to confirm or deny the change in status when contacted by EurasiaNet.org. "We do not give out any information by telephone," the official said, before hanging up.
Kozlov briefly declared a hunger strike last week in protest at his treatment after he was placed in solitary confinement, the Open Dialog Foundation, a Poland-based human rights watchdog, said on July 21.
The watchdog added that Kozlov is suffering from health problems in jail, where he has been held in cramped conditions and forced to stand for long periods in temperatures approaching 50 degrees Celsius.
An Almaty hospital has been caught trading in children, selling newborns to desperate childless parents for a few thousand dollars apiece.
The case is only the latest in a string of scandals exposing the unbridled level of graft blighting Kazakhstan's healthcare system.
Prosecutors exposed the "trade in minors" at the Almaty Multidisciplinary Clinical Hospital, where healthcare staff were "providing intermediary services for the illegal acquisition of newborn children for various sums of money," Dinmukhamed Serikbayev, a city prosecutor's office official, said in remarks quoted by Tengri News on July 24.
The four suspects, who include a midwife and a nurse, allegedly sold five new-born babies for a total sum of $10,000 plus 150,000 tenge ($800) and pocketed the proceeds.
This is the second baby sale racket to be uncovered in Kazakhstan this summer. In June, two healthcare staff at a perinatal center in the south of the country were arrested on suspicion of selling babies for $1,000-3,000 each.
The mothers wanted to give the newborns up for adoption, but prosecutors believe healthcare staff bypassed all the legal niceties to make some cash on the side.
Corruption is omnipresent in Kazakhstan's health service. Patients routinely have to pay bribes to receive services to which they are legally entitled free of charge. Doctors and nurses in the public sector pursue bribes to supplement their meager salaries, but even in private institutions staff sometimes demand extra off-the-books payments.
Authorities in Kyrgyzstan have fallen largely silent about the alleged Islamic State cell that they neutralized earlier this month, only for the group itself to purportedly address a video message to the nation.
The nine-minute clip, titled "Address to the people of Kyrgyzstan," was posted on July 25 and remained online for only a few hours before being taken down, news website Kloop.kg reported.
As Kloop reported, the video consisted of an address to camera by a man speaking in Kyrgyz who appealed to viewers with calls for the Kyrgyz people to "relocate to the lands of Islamic State from infidel nations." The speech was accompanied by Russian subtitles.
It is specified by the speaker that Kyrgyzstan is one such "infidel nation," because of the country's embrace of "man-created laws and rules, "such as democracy.
The video was stamped with the logo of Furat Media, the Russian-language wing of the IS group's online propaganda operation. Pending further verification by security experts, the authenticity of the video remains in question.
Authorities have for months been warning of a Kyrgyz contingent within the IS group. According to the Interior Ministry's latest estimates, 422 citizens of Kyrgyzstan, including 55 women, are engaged in combat activities with radical Islamic organizations in Iraq and Syria.
Kloop notes that the footage issued over the weekend was bereft of the scenes of brutality or violence that have increasingly come to typify the IS group's output.
The timing could not have been more ironic. Even as it praised freedom of speech to commemorate the 140th anniversary of the country's first Azeri-language newspaper, Azerbaijan put its most celebrated investigative journalist, Khadija Ismayilova, on trial for criminal charges deemed by critics an attempt to silence the press.
Ismayilova, who works as a freelance journalist for the US-government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty news service, faces up to 19 years in prison on charges of alleged abuse of power, tax evasion, embezzlement and attempting to cause a suicide.
Immediate details about her July 24 hearing were few. Access to the courtroom was strictly limited, with even the defendant's sister denied entry, RFE/RL's Azerbaijani service reported. Some diplomats were allowed into the room, but only a few journalists. Judge Ramella Allahverdiyeva rejected a petition to allow audio and video recordings of the proceedings, News.az reported.
Police had chained off the street leading to the courthouse, though supporters gathered outside the courtroom to clap and chant Ismayilova's name, video footage posted by Turan news agency showed.
At the trial, Ismayilova, reported to be in "high spirits," stated that she had been arrested only to stop her investigations into the "illegal business" operations of President Ilham Aliyev and his family, according to RFE/RL's live, Azeri-language updates.
NATO militaries wrapped up joint exercises in Georgia this week, as the alliance tries to strengthen its position in the Caucasus as a counterweight to Russia, and Tbilisi tries to leverage NATO's newly sharpened confrontation with Russia to achieve its long-held goal of membership in the alliance.
The exercise, Agile Spirit, involved about 250 soldiers from Bulgaria, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Romania. It was the first NATO exercise held at the Vaziani base outside Tbilisi as a result of the decision, made at last year's NATO summit in Wales, to open a training base in Georgia. (Exercises named Agile Spirit have been held in Georgia in the past, but those were bilateral U.S.-Georgia exercises; those now have a new name. Noble Partner.)
The exercises took place in an atmosphere of heightened tension between Russia and Georgia; while the exercises were going on the former moved the border a bit in a possible attempt to provoke the latter or at least to visibly throw its weight around.

To say it was a tough year for the Wauwatosa East and Wauwatosa West boys and girls basketball teams would be an understatement. One number sums up the story.
That number represents the "winning" percentage of the four local basketball teams this year, only one team with a winning record.
The Red Raiders boys' overall mark was 14-10 (. 583). But the other three teams had a combined .300 "winning" percent (21-49). The individual teams breakdown was West girls (10-14, .417), West boys (6-17, .261) and Tosa East girls (5-18, .217)
Here's a quick look at some of the positives on each team.
Tosa East boys
Coach Tim Arndorfer team had 11 seniors on the squad, so despite a winning record, there was a general feeling that the Red Raiders should have been better. Tosa East's best player - maybe a better term is most consistent - was Nate Moore, the team's point guard, who was their best all-around player. Anthony Carroll was their most naturally talented athlete, and Ben Mihelich wasn't far behind. Ben Carpenter, whose bright future lies on the baseball diamond, was another excellent athlete Arndorfer could call upon.
Derrick Hurt, Kyle Vnuk and Mich Dillon provided some height for the Red Raiders and these seven formed the heart of the rotation.
The Red Raiders did finish the season on a positive note, winning eight of their final 12 games, including victories over Marquette and Pius XI in the postseason.
Tosa West girls
Ashley Imperiale did a good job in her first year as the head coach. Her passion for the game carried over onto the court at times. The Trojans really did not have a star player, but several solid players who played together at the end of the year. In fact, a couple of games I saw, Imperiale's girls worked their offense and passed the ball as well as any team I watched this year. They finished the year going 6-7 in their last 13 games, and their future is bright.
Tosa West boys
Coach Chad Stelse had perhaps the best player in the city in 6-foot-1 inch sophomore Andre Carroll, the younger brother of East's Anthony. He averaged 15.1 points per game and is a talented, athletic player to watch. Steffan Brown, Blake Harvey, Reggie Casion, Nakeem Evans, Austin Jones, Jack Krenzien and Cole Harvey all had their good days but not enough of them.
Tosa East girls
Katie Salmon is one of the best players I have seen this year. Outside of Alayah Walls, the Red Raiders point guard, there is not a lot of athletic kids on the roster. The Red Raiders did finish 2-3 in their last five games.

Marvel's "Jessica Jones" Will Go "All the Way Dark," Promise Rosenberg & Loeb
In the past, I enjoyed checking out a periodic arc of Adventures of Superman, the DC Digital First series that ended in April 2014. What appealed to me most about the series was the rotating creative teams on these arcs, including writers like Tim Seeley, Christos Gage, Peter Milligan, as well as artists such as Mike Norton, Jock, Gabriel Rodriguez. In other words, the anthology element to the series consistently entertained me.
More recently, the anthology appeal of the the DC Digital First line really amped up in recent weeks for me. To be specific, on Nov. 27 writer Corinna Bechko, writer/artist Gabriel Hardman and colorist Jordan Boyd launched "Dig for Fire"–a three-part story starting in Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman #16. Then this past Friday (Dec. 5), I was caught by surprise to learn that writer Ron Marz, artist Cully Hamner and colorist Rico Renzi teamed on a three-part Legends of the Dark Knight #80 story, "Nevermore".
Beginning n February, writer Stuart Moore and artist Gus Storms embark on a new five-issue EGOs arc, called "Crunched." As noted in Image Comics' solicitations, "The narcissistic super-team of the future returns to battle an invisible threat to the galactic economy." To whet folks appetite for the upcoming arc, Moore, Storms and designer Brett Evans detailed for ROBOT 6 the steps leading up to the final cover design.
Artist Ken Lashley leaped into the spotlight this week with his collaboration with writer Gail Simone on DC Comics' latest incarnation of Secret Six. No stranger to the publisher, he's provided covers for such titles as Suicide Squad and Superboy, and drawn interiors for Superman: Doomed. A quick glance of CBR's previews archives reveals the variety of work he's done for other publishers in recent years, including a couple of AXIS Revolutions covers for Marvel.
To get an idea of the variety of characters Lashley draws, as well as some of his commissions, one needs only to look at his Instagram profile (where he posts under the username Ledkilla). In addition to the range of talent he shares with his fans, he clearly relishes shooting some of his samples at interesting angles, adding a layer of kineticism.
This week marks the release of Valiant Entertainment's Eternal Warrior: Days of Steel #2, written by Peter Milligan in collaboration with artist Cary Nord, colorist Brian Reber and letterer Dave Sharpe. In anticipation of the new issue, the publisher shared with ROBOT 6 process pages by Nord, Reber and Sharpe. One detail of note: There is no inking stage, as Reber colors directly over Nord's pencils.
Valiant describes the upcoming issue as follows:
The industry learned over the weekend through colorist Elizabeth Breitweiser that flatter Eduardo Navarro Lopez passed away Nov. 27 after a battle with cancer. He was 36 years old. The Guadalajara, Mexico-based color assistant had been undergoing treatment for cancer, but had continued to work until as recently as earlier in November.
Breitweiser has worked with him her entire career, as she noted in her post paying tribute to him:
Today DC Comics released The Flash #36, an issue that represents the final work of Brazilian artist André Coelho. His death, while not widely reported until today, occurred in mid-October, as noted by this Oct. 20 MeiaLua memorial podcast. DC dedicated the issue of The Flash to the 35-year-old artist.
Co-writer Van Jensen also paid tribute to Coelho on his blog, writing, "He was an incredible artist, able to convey so much emotion into every panel. André also was always as nice as could be, responding to any request with a simple, 'No problem!'"
With Thanksgiving this week, it was sheer coincidence that I ran across Doomsgiving, a Tumblr hashtag used by Washington-based cartoonist and writer "Calamity" Jon Morris to celebrate his affinity for the Doom Patrol.
Morris, who also posted Doomsgiving pieces last year (in addition to being involved in a variety of unique side projects well worth checking out), has penned The League of Regrettable Heroes: Half-Baked Heroes from Comic Book History, set for release in June 2015). There are plenty more of his illustrations to enjoy on his Tumblr and on Behance.
POP, writer Curt Pires' collaboration with artist Jason Copland and colorist Pete Toms, wraps up this week with the release of Issue 4 from Dark Horse. One thing I consistently enjoy about Pires' storytelling is how it works on two levels: You have a plot replete with action that always keeps the reader engaged, along with with a layer of subtext that invites deeper consideration.
In an interview with ROBOT 6, Pires allowed me to poke around both layers. Suicidal ideation, drug use and poetic terrorism are just a few of the concepts considered in POP, and in this interview.
As origins go, Jess' latent seer powers to see demons being triggered by losing her virginity is one of the more unforgettable opens to a first issue I have read in quiet a while. That's exactly how co-creator/co-writer/artist Michael Avon Oeming and co-creator/co-writer/colorist Taki Soma cut to the heart of their new Image Comics/Shadowline series, Sinergy.
Next week, BOOM! Studios' KaBOOM! imprint launches Capture Creatures, a new ongoing series by writer Frank Gibson and artist Becky Dreistadt. It's the latest evolutionary step for a property that began as a website with 151 Dreistadt paintings of cute creatures (inspired by Pokemon) before being Kickstartered as a 300-plus page collected edition with Gibson-written character descriptions.
In anticipation of the series debut, Dreistadt and Gibson shared six exclusive process pages with ROBOT 6 that follow the art from initial pencils (Dreistadt) to the inking stage (by Kelly Bastow), followed by colored pages by Tracy Liang and, finally, letters by Britt Wilson. Along with the process pages, Dreistadt and Gibson also detailed the influences and challenges behind bringing Capture Creatures to KaBOOM!
In case you weren't able to make this year's Thought Bubble: The Leeds Comic Art Festival, ROBOT 6 has rounded up snippets of the overall experience through social media. The festival, now in its eighth year, was held Nov. 9-16, ending with a two-day convention on Nov. 15-16. Beyond the final two-day event, Thought Bubble offered more than 80 comics-related opportunities — some in cooperation with the 28th Leeds International Film Festival.
This week marks the release of the final collected volume of Jack Katz's an epic series initially published in the 1970s and '80s. Titan Comics began reissuing Katz's magnum opus, which clocks in at an impressive 768 pages, in 2013. Each remastered volume was produced utilizing cleaned and restored art taken from high-resolution scans of Katz's original art pages, as well as being completely relettered. Titan also provided background information on the history of Katz's story, as well as extra material, such as character sketches as well as original drawings.
To mark the release, Titan Comics shared with ROBOT 6 some of the extras included in the final volume.
This February will mark five years since the release of Raina Telgemeier's Smile, the autobiographical graphic novel about her childhood from sixth grade to high school, partially documented by her orthodontia experience through those years.
Telgemeier's teeth were forefront in her mind earlier this week as she visited her dentist, taking a couple of pictures while there, which she shared on her Instagram account.
Longtime readers of writer Fred Van Lente know well how much of a history buff he is. So it did not surprise me that his new ongoing series with artists Maurizio Rosenzweig and Moreno Dinisio, Resurrectionists, draws upon the past as a major fuel for the present day narrative. The creator-owned project builds upon the concept that certain people can utilize the knowledge and experience of their past lives.
While many creators use Twitter, not all of them do so to such a thorough degree as Janet K. Lee. The artist behind Return of the Dapper Men, Jane Austen's Emma (for Marvel) and Lost Vegas shares commission pieces as well as works in progress and warmup sketches. Here are a few recent examples.

Shaw Festival brings Bernard Shaw back to main stage
The Philanderer will play Festival Theatre in 2014, along with Cabaret and The Philadelphia Story.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Bernard Shaw will make a comeback next year on the main stage of the theatre festival that bears his name.
Shaw's early comedy The Philanderer is among three plays to be staged at the Festival Theatre at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
As reported earlier in the Star, the classic musical Cabaret and the 1930s Broadway comedy The Philadelphia Story are the other two plays slated for the main stage in the 2014 season.
"As it is the largest of our four theatres, it's essential that we program the Festival Theatre with works of broad appeal, brought to life by brilliant creative teams," said artistic director Jackie Maxwell in a news release.
Presumably it was the problem of filling the house with a Shaw work that resulted in the startling absence of Shaw from the main stage in 2013. Major Barbara, one of Shaw's most familiar works, is represented this year with a production directed by Maxwell, but it is playing at the smaller Royal George Theatre.
The Philanderer, written in 1893, will be directed by Lisa Peterson, who has won awards for her off-Broadway productions in New York.
Peter Hinton, the director of this year's hit Lady Windermere's Fan, will be back next year to stage Cabaret, the Tony-winning musical based on Christopher Isherwood's stories about decadent nightlife in 1930 Berlin.
The Philadelphia Story, Philip Barry's romantic comedy, was a hugely successful movie vehicle for Katharine Hepburn after its initial stage triumph. After its run in Niagara, the Shaw production, to be directed by Dennis Garnhum, will travel to Calgary as part of the season at Theatre Calgary, where Garnhum is artistic director.

The 1st Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Alignment Calculator
Lawful Neutral or Lawful Evil
"In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread."
With regards to Law and Chaos, you are Lawful
With regards to Good and Evil, you are Neutral or maybe Evil
Your scored a combination of TWO alignments, Lawful Neutral and Lawful Evil. You should go to the bottom of this page and click on both of these alignments for more details, because you are partially one and partially the other.
To give you a general idea, people of this alignment combination are primarily lawful and secondarily evil. They are loyal and dedicated followers of whatever system they serve, and they always play by the rules, but they are cold and merciless in pursuit of their ends. This is the alignment of hanging judges, military dictators, and stone cold mafia chiefs -- people who hold the letter of the law above the spirit of it, and who have little compassion for anyone that doesn't play by the rules. They may not all play by exactly the SAME rules, but they all follow rules of one kind or another.
Quick Scoring Guide
chaos scores of -8 to -19 : generally lawful
chaos scores of -20 to -29 : exceptionally lawful
chaos scores of -30 & down : inhuman
Fictional Examples Of This Alignment Combination
Captain Hook (from the original "Peter Pan") is a suitable example of this combination. Not the dumbed-down Disney version, where Hook was portrayed as a leering incompetent buffoon, and definitely not the version from the Robin Williams movie "HOOK," which was total bullshit (like almost everything else Robin Williams has ever done). No ... I'm talking the original Captain Hook. Educated at Eton, Hook was a gentleman pirate, Blackbeard's boatswain and supposedly the only man that Long John Silver ever feared. Stylish, sophisticated, and deadly, Captain Hook was the penultimate Rake. To him, style and form were everything ... he even taunted Peter Pan for having "bad form" during their final (?) fight. Hook played by the rules and kept his word, but he was diabolically cunning. He represented a wholly adult villian, responsible yet corrupt, and obsessed with attaining wealth and power and respect (he wanted to become the King of Never Never Land). He was also driven by a need to "do justice" to Peter Pan, and punish him for cutting off Hook's hand and feeding it to the crocodile. In some ways, Hook was like an older authority figure pitted against a wayward and dangerous young rebel. Captain Hook was evil to a point, but his evil was not so much deliberately cruel as it was simply obeying "form." The world is hard and cruel, and to prosper a man must put away childish notions and play by the rules of the game. Which was the polar opposite of Peter Pan's carefree and mischievous philosophy of eternal childhood. Captain Hook was no less than an emissary of the Real World, which is to say a typical adult. And as Barrie reminds us, "all adults are pirates."
Your Destination in the Afterlife : ACHERON
According to Gygax, your soul is going to Acheron. In Greek mythology, Acheron was an infernal river, or sometimes a lake. There is an actual river in Greece called the Epirus, which the ancient Greeks associated with the river Acheron because it flowed underground in several places. They believed that it literally flowed into Hades (the underworld), and that the River Styx sprang from it. Acheron meant "river of woe," although other accounts say it was a river of healing rather than punishment. It was like Purgatory -- a place of atonement and eventual renewal, rather than of eternal suffering.
In the AD&D universe, Acheron has four levels and lies between Nirvana and Hell. Gygax never actually calls Acheron a river. In later books, he suggests that it's more of a wasteland....

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan continues to struggle as a league executive.
The Jordan-owned Bobcats are 3-26 and flirting with NBA futility.
Because of the lockout-shortened season Charlotte won't challenge the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers' record of 72 losses. However, the Bobcats have lost 16 straight games and have a worse winning percentage (.103) than that infamous 76ers team.
"Everybody wants to make history but you don't want to make history that way," said Bobcats guard Matt Carroll, currently in his second stint with Charlotte. "You don't want to be that team."
Jordan isn't talking as the losses continue to mount. He declined an interview request through the Bobcats media relations department.
Jordan isn't the only NBA executive having a tough time. There are only nine wins between he and Commissioner David Stern — the league-owned New Orleans Hornets have just six victories.
The Hornets and Bobcats are two of six teams that have failed to reach double digits in wins in a league that, despite efforts to push toward parity during the recent labor negotiations, seems to have a broadening gap between haves and have-nots.
But none seem as low as the Bobcats.
"They've totally bottomed out," said Steve Kerr, an NBA analyst for TNT and a former Jordan teammate. "They are a total disaster right now. They are going to have to get lucky in the lottery and be really strong as an organization in the next couple of years to get out of this."
Bobcats president of basketball operations Rod Higgins previously said the key is to be patient with the building process and avoid kneejerk reactions.
The Bobcats expect to be more than $20 million under the salary cap next year so they should be active in free agency. They'll also likely get a top pick this year, although not necessarily the No. 1 overall because of the NBA's lottery system.
"It's up to us to go out and get that player, or those players, to help turn this team around," Higgins said recently.
But the biggest question is whether or not they can do it as Jordan's track record hasn't been very good.
Since being named minority owner of the Bobcats in 2006 and being given full control over the basketball operations, Jordan has selected eight players in the first round, but only four remain with the team. Three are no longer in the league.
Arguably the biggest draft day blunder was selecting Gonzaga's Adam Morrison with the third overall pick in 2006 when they could have had Rudy Gay. Drafting Alexis Ajinca 20th overall in 2008 was another flop, especially after giving up a first-round pick to Denver to get him.
The Ajinca trade is just one of 17 in the Jordan era, more than any team in the league over the last six years. Those dealt include Emeka Okafor, Tyson Chandler, Stephen Jackson and All-Star Gerald Wallace.
Who's left includes Carroll (who was actually traded in 2009 and then reacquired a year later), Corey Maggette, journeyman Eduardo Najera and forward Tyrus Thomas — who received a five-year, $40 million contract and isn't even starting anymore.
The Bobcats still owe Chicago a protected first-round draft pick as part of the Thomas trade.
Bad deals aren't the only thing that have hurt the Bobcats, however, injuries have also played a role in their demise.
Charlotte's three leading scorers — Maggette, D.J. Augustin and Gerald Henderson — have missed a combined 38 games due to injuries. Coach Paul Silas refused to call this a bad team and has repeatedly said that if all three had been healthy throughout the season the Bobcats wouldn't be the league's doormat.
"I think if you take the three leading scorers off any team that's going to make a huge difference," Silas said. "I think if we had them we would be very competitive."
But they don't have them and of late the Bobcats haven't been very competitive. They have lost their last eight games by an average of 22.5 points.
They've been outscored by 14.4 points per game for the season, by far the most in the NBA this season. That puts them on pace for the second-worst margin of defeat since the NBA-ABA merger.
"Some nights it's embarrassing, especially when we lose by a lot," said rookie Kemba Walker. "No one likes to lose by that many points."
Former Bobcat Steve Smith, now an NBA TV analyst, said Charlotte is has to rebuild from scratch.
"It comes down to (this): Do they draft the best talent? And right now the Charlotte Bobcats are a team that is looking to rebuild," he said.
They basically have no choice.
Still, Carroll won't say they're a bad team.
"We still have talent on this team and can still win games but I think it will take more guys to get healthy," Carroll said. "As the season goes along we're going to get better."
In the meantime, the mildly superstitious Carroll is trying everything he can to help end the losing streak which began Jan. 16.
"I switched shoes a couple of times. I've worn two socks on each foot," he said. "I've worn socks two days in a row, which I've never done before... but nothing has worked. I'll keep trying.
"Something has to work eventually — and hopefully soon."
