The Magazine
Looking at Rembrandt
A portrait of the Dutch Master at 400.
Dec 25, 2006, Vol. 12, No. 15 • By ALGIS VALIUNAS
However, the glow would tragically fade, or rather become the hectic flush of tuberculosis on Saskia's cheeks: In 1642 she died at the age of 30, and was buried in the plain cloth shroud prescribed by Calvinist law. In 1639 Rembrandt had produced a prescient etching that showed a newly married couple paying their obeisance to Death: To the skeleton arising from the grave, the bride holds out a flower, an offering to tide Death over until He can claim her beauteous self. No sacrifice--not even the three infants who preceded Saskia to the grave--could propitiate the Reaper. He took what He wanted when He wanted it.
Work and love--or at any rate, work and sex--remained Rembrandt's way of holding off the darkness. Saskia was not long gone when her surviving son's nurse, Geertje Dircx, took her place in Rembrandt's bed. During the years of their affair, Rembrandt turned out sexual etchings so frank and coarse as hardly to be considered erotic: a faceless monk in a cornfield plowing some faceless woman whose clenched feet and straining legs are all one sees of her; a cavalier whose plumed headgear dangles from the bedpost servicing a lady who demonstrates no particular thrill at the privilege.
In 1649 the arrival in Rembrandt's household of a younger and much prettier servant, Hendrickje Stoffels, announced a new romantic dispensation, and Geertje was not pleased to be sent packing. No doubt this is the stuff that has Rembrandt the Musical salaciously wailing the blues: Geertje's charging Rembrandt with breach of promise and his publicly denying her claims that she was his mistress; the pregnant Hendrickje's being hounded before an ecclesiastical court and officially proclaimed Rembrandt's whore, while Rembrandt, who had left the Reformed Church, skates by without reprimand; Rembrandt's getting his own back against Geertje and then some, by contriving to have her declared mentally incompetent and confined to a virtual dungeon for five years.
The sexual scandal was topped off by financial ruin as dissatisfied customers for grand commissions, and the artist's own insatiable taste for the finer things in life, plunged Rembrandt into bankruptcy. When death came at last, in 1669, it may not have seemed entirely unwelcome.
Few lives have known the tempestuous ethical and emotional amplitude of Rembrandt's, and in his work one sees the sun-graced uplands and the pits of degradation, sometimes at once. His Bathsheba (1654), for which Hendrickje was likely the model, shows the nude Hebrew beauty having her feet washed by a gray-visaged servingwoman; in Bathsheba's hand is the letter from King David commanding her to come to him, for he has fallen in love at the sight of her, though she is the wife of Uriah.
Rich adornments--an earring, a necklace, a bracelet--bespeak her familiarity with luxury, and Bathsheba's sensuality is palpable, her lush body radiant where the light falls on her breasts and belly. But her lower body is in shadow, as the darkness of David's longing and her own--David shall arrange Uriah's death, and David and Bathsheba's infant son shall die--falls across her purity like advancing night. And it is with a strange melting ache that Bathsheba looks at her servant, who in turn is utterly absorbed in the job at hand. Importunate longing is in the mistress's look, and one cannot but think that she is wishing she were not Bathsheba anymore but could be this lowly servant instead.
It is, of course, but a pang of misgiving Bathsheba feels, not a moral compulsion strong enough to overcome the king's lust, or her own. Rembrandt captures the moment of trial for a woman whose taste for finery, even for grandeur, and whose regard for her own beauty, already proclaim her lost. The artist understands what it means to want the thing you want most, even though it might cost you your decency and self-respect and the life of someone you once claimed to love.
From early in his career, Rembrandt knows the perils of staking everything on a critical moral decision. Even men we commonly think of as saints and heroes fear at times that they have lost all, and Rembrandt portrays them as simply spent, unable any longer to continue the struggle. His The Apostle Paul (1630) shows a haggard old man whose struggle is not to elucidate some crux of heavenly wisdom but to keep from falling asleep over his work. Behind him, bathed in pale golden light, a pair of scimitars hangs from a roof beam, and one is reminded that Paul was beheaded for allegiance to the faith. However, here is not a martyr ripening toward a heroic end but a worn-out thinker in danger of nodding off into his eternal slumber. Earthly agonies and heavenly aspirations no longer touch him; his drooping gaze settles on a desk piled with books that are just a shadowy jumble. He looks forward to nothing. Paul has given everything he had to his appointed task, and the immensity of the task has finished him.

Our campsite happened to be a paraglider launch point, so we enjoyed this view:
Tag Archives: Wyoming
Disappointment Peak, Grand Teton National Park
It's a steep hike up to a picturesque alpine cirque, then a 4th class chimney climbs above tree line. At the top, Disappointment Peak yields a close up view of the Grand Teton. It's only disappointing if you think you're climbing Grand Teton. Otherwise, it's a challenging hike and an exhilarating view.
On the hike down, Katherine tripped, fell on her butt, and looked up to see 3 stunned black bears staring at her. We also saw pika, pheasant, and marmot that day.
Driggs, Idaho
Enjoy breakfast at Pendl's Bakery. Pick up some shabby chic decor ideas, including upcycling a vintage drawer as a picture frame, or hanging old cross country skis as wall art. The back garden is sunny and inviting.
Stroll downtown. Check out the bison sculpture over the bank, stock up on groceries at Barrels and Bins, and sample crisp dragon's tongue green beans at the farmer's market.
Then head uphill to Grand Targhee Ski Resort, strap on some body armor, and mountain bike down the ski runs.
Meet "Steamy The Fumarole"
Over Labor Day weekend, we did a tour of Yellowstone National Park. While the view isn't as spectacular as the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone is beautiful with fantastic thermal features. When we found geysers (the ones that shoot water) or fumaroles (the ones that shoot steam) without visible names, we generically called them Gushy or Steamy. Of course, we visited plenty of named features, including the well-known Old Faithful geyser. We also hiked around Yellowstone Canyon with multiple massive waterfalls and a mule deer that seemed to wonder why we dared use its trail. We kayaked Yellowstone Lake and saw several elk, including one bugling, and many thermal features along the shore.
Overall, our visit to Yellowstone was too short. The facilities in the park and the nearby town of West Yellowstone have the tacky "tourist fake western" theme, and we left those places as quickly as possible. Outdoors, we only saw the easily accessible tourist destinations. I suspect the best places are in the backcountry, and I look forward to returning.
Jackson, Wyoming Logistics
Many people come to this beautiful town to visit for a week or two. Here's how to stay a little longer, on a budget.
Dispersed (Free) Camping: Fall Creek Rd between Hoback Junction and Wilson, Granite Creek and Little Granite Creek Rds southeast of Hoback Junction, Curtis Canyon east of the Elk Reserve, Shadow Mountain and Slide Lake near Kelly, and Grassy Lake Rd at the northern boundary of Grand Teton.
Projects: Rally's Pet Garage is our pick for dog boarding and self-service dog wash tubs. Gloria at Jackson Hole Girl Friday was a big help with getting our bikes cleaned up, tuned, and covered. If you need help with projects, she's a great resource. Stitch N Time sells fabric, can refer you to a tailor, and has a sewing machine and ironing board in the shop for customer use. Bill Dillon at Jackson Hole Boot and Shoe has creative solutions for sewing projects.
Water: Shevrin's Oil and most of the campgrounds have water taps. If you use the tap at Shevrin's, please buy gas and thank them. Water taps are hard to find at gas stations in Jackson. (Hint to the gas stations: water is a really cheap way to market to RVers, who typically spend $100 on a fill up.)
Laundry: We recommend the Missing Sock over Broadway Laundry.
Grocery: Smith's (next to the Missing Sock) has moderate prices yet stocks some organic produce and has bulk bins. The weekday farmer's market is a good place to get produce, as well.
Work and Wifi: The Teton County Library offers a visitor library card for $10, and gives away shipping labels so you can mail back books from the road. The library and Cafe Boheme are good places to get work done.
Old Faithful Geyser
Ski Fence in Jackson Wyoming
Moose Falls, Yellowstone National Park
A fine swimming hole with waters warmed by upstream hot springs. An easy 5 minute hike leads to the base of the falls. While you'll likely share this popular spot with others, there's plenty of room in the swimming hole below the falls. Logs downstream create sun-warmed pools, and spots where you can lay in the rushing waters.
Grassy Lake Road Camping, Grand Teton National Park
There are few places for dispersed camping near Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park. This is one of the better ones.
From the junction between highway 89 and Flagg Ranch, drive towards Flagg Ranch and then turn northwest onto Grassy Lake Road. The road is open in the summer only.
Photo gallery shows the "ghost forest" created by the 1988 Yellowstone fire. The bare poles are the remainders of trees burned in the fire, with new trees growing up underneath. The other two photos are views of a Grassy Lake NPS campsite.
The first 8 miles of Grassy Lake Road are managed by Grand Teton National Park, and the remainder via the National Forest Service. The NPS-managed land allows free camping in 8 designated camping spots, which vary in size from 1 to 4 campsites. You can stay up to 14 days, and the sites have a picnic table, graded tent pad, fire pit, bear box, trash receptacle, and a pit toilet. Pretty fancy for free camping! NFS-managed land offers dispersed camping with services.
The road starts out as graded gravel, and sites 1 through 3 can be accessed by any car. The road gets rougher is it continues west, with ruts en route to sites 4 and 5, and deep gouges en route to sites 6 and beyond. Recommend a high clearance vehicle to go beyond site 5.
Alpine, Wyoming
Alpine forms the northern end of the grassy Star Valley. It's a commuter town for folks working in Jackson, and also a ranching area.
A class III section of the Snake River is just up the hill in Alpine Canyon. Recommend putting in at East Table and taking out at Sheep Gulch. Rent a boat at Rent-a-Raft in Hoback Junction if needed. While there are guided whitewater trips available, the river is certainly easy enough (for someone with class II to III skills and moderate river flow rate) to float independently.
The Alpine library is small but well-stocked. It has reliable wifi, workstations with power plugs, and helpful staff. Good dispersed camping 2 miles from town along Grays River Road. Many of the campsites on the north side of the road have river views. Fill up on water and propane at the Texaco, eat pizza at Tootsie's North, and get local grass fed meat at the natural foods store. There's a dingy laundromat in town also.
If we had a water ski boat, we'd have stayed longer. The Palisades Reservoir looks like a great place to ski!

It was in good enough shape that when I saw the seller a month ago he was wishing he hadn't sold it. It can take some time, but when you get back to the States, if you are patient, enlargers and darkroom equipment can be had for very little cash, or even given away to a good home.

Bitch Planet #1Posted: January 13, 2015 Filed under: Action, Comics, Pulp, Science-Fiction Leave a comment »
Comic book, 2014
I struggle to get myself to read comics published by Image Comics. I greatly appreciate the part they've played in inching mainstream comics away from the extremely limited subject matter and dire presentation they've been mired in for the past several decades, but I find the often neat, tidy packaging of their central conceits to be such a boring initial step that I'm seldom moved to take a second. "A thief who steals from thieves", "TMZ with superheroes", "Peter Pan fights in World War II". I'm skeptical of anything that appears too easy to pitch, as this is usually an indication of the creators's intention to do just that, resulting in an emphasis on dressing up their vapid, catchy concept over utilizing the comics medium to create an engaging work. Not to mention that inherently shallow approach to storytelling being actively resistant to creating work of depth.
So, this is my perspective on the ecosystem that Bitch Planet exists in. And while Bitch Planet does suffer from some of these pitfalls, it does so with a different motivation on its sleeve, and manages to be an entertaining and stylish comic book in the process.
Joe McCullogh tweeted that a recent Grant Morrison comic was "more effective on a broadly metaphorical or emotional level than point-by-point 'convincing'". Bitch Planet, similarly in a few places, sacrifices logical plot progression and believable characterization for a more blunt communication of its themes, leaving me confused. The husband of an inmate saying his wife "doesn't belong" in prison doesn't seem to jibe with the later revelation of his true intentions, and his use of the word "compliant" seems like an unnatural way to directly tie his motivations to that of the prison's. Less disorienting and more just distracting, is the prison's use of a leather-clad hologram of a nun to address the concerns of one of its inmates. Perhaps someone could make a case for why the dehumanizing, brutal prison would use this vibrant spectacle for its effectiveness or something, but to me it read as a very consciously-placed faux edgy flourish.
I wish action was a higher priority in Bitch Planet, especially since it's such an essential characteristic of the work that comprises the aesthetic it's riffing on. There are two riots in this issue, and they aren't very exciting. There's no defined movement, an essential aspect of action, just consecutive panels of unrelated moments that fail to build on each other in any way. (One striking image, of the largest inmate in midair above a guard, becomes a promise of action unfulfilled as we never see the resulting impact.) I'm reminded of another thematically-obsessed recent work, Snowpiercer, whose fight scenes were also merely signifiers of action, shots filled with flailing arms and weapons with no apparent impact or result. Both works seem to want to have action, but don't care enough about it to give it any follow through.
So while the resulting failings are similar, I think the instinct to prioritize what's at the heart of Bitch Planet has a different origin. Bitch Planet very smartly uses its poppy hook, "Women's prison in space", to focus on the very timely theme of women's oppression. It's a theme beyond worthy of the attention it's currently receiving in culture at large, and I'm enthused that Bitch Planet expounds on it in a way that has the issue so deeply embedded in its DNA, and is also fun and exciting at its foundation. Despite the toll I think it takes on the storytelling at times, I think that theme is communicated effectively and thrillingly, and is pushed past the inherent commentary contained in the concept at its most basic level (women are in prison) through two big bait and switches which (despite hearing the writer say on Inkstuds that she hadn't seen it) I can't help but see as call outs to a couple of the weaker conceptual points of the very prominent women-in-prison television show Orange Is The New Black. I won't spoil them here, but suffice it to say that Bitch Planet depicts the state of male support of women as much bleaker than Orange, and it's emphatically not holding readers hands, and relegating the majority of real life prison's actual populations to the background, by presenting the story through the POV of someone upper middle-class white people can easily identify with. These are adjustments to this concept I can get behind, and think serve the themes much better.
Outside of those themes, Bitch Planet manages to be fun too. The naked riot is a wild, thrilling camp idea. (Which I'm too unfamiliar with the women-in-prison genre to know if it's been done before. It must have, right?) Also notable for catering less to the male gaze, due to the more diverse than usual body types on display. This idea, in contrast to the leather nun hologram, did not seem contrived. The reveal at the end of this issue's also promises an emphasis on more focused action moving forward.
Thankfully, coming from somewhere other than being movie option-bait frees Bitch Planet up to actually be a good comic formally; Its existence as a comic book has been taken into account, down to the pleasant, pulpier than normal paper it's printed on. It's stylish in a way that seems more geared toward being a good looking comic than a set of storyboards, including a distinct and effective visual aesthetic and conceptual page layouts that would actively work against that purpose.
So while I might have significant issues with its storytelling, I think Bitch Planet #1 is strong in a number of ways where it really counts. and I'm excited by how it's representing its important themes.
The DoublePosted: October 4, 2014 Filed under: Comedy, Drama, Film Leave a comment »
Film, 2013
The Double has a lot of things going for it in terms of craft, including gorgeous compositions and color, smooth, languid pacing, and nuanced, effortless performances from its main cast (even if the camera movement goes a little overboard occasionally). Unfortunately, it's all in the service of a feature-length ode to "but I'm a nice guy." Eisenberg's Simon is a sensitive soul invisible to those around him, his greatest wish to be noticed and appreciated by Wasikowska's Hannah, who is more interested in Simon's confident, successful double, James. How dare she, oh the horror. Honestly, if I never see another filmed POV of a man looking longingly at a woman, as if she's a desirable object to be attained, I'll be extremely happy. The movie does directly acknowledge the fact that its protagonist is a huge creep, an outright stalker, but ultimately we're meant to wish for Simon's desire to be fulfilled. It's a notion that, despite the absolutely lovely decoration, comes off as very ugly.
SnowpiercerPosted: July 8, 2014 Filed under: Action, Film, Science-Fiction Leave a comment »
Film, 2013
Snowpiercer has a cast filled to the brim with brilliant, entertaining actors and a director whose back catalogue is, for my money, closer to perfect than any other working director's. Despite this, I didn't go into it with high expectations, mostly due to some pretty dull trailers. And my fears were confirmed. Whereas Bong Joon-ho's previous films are delightfully entertaining with complex themes so subtle that engaging with them is basically optional, Snowpiercer is as direct and hard to move around in as the train it takes place in. I can see how the stripped-down nature of the concept could seem like an exciting one for an action film; A train full of Earth's last survivors where poor people live in squalor in the back and rich people live in decadence in the front, and the journey from one end to the other. It's a concept that travels along with its plot, and has momentum built into it; It's probably the most inherently action oriented concept for a movie since Speed. And the themes of class are sound, they're astute and well constructed. But after seemingly endless monologues from multiple characters who exist only as mouthpieces for said themes, you start feeling sorry for the dead horse Boon-ho is beating long before the end of the movie. This is a movie where they dress Tilda Swinton, hamming it up like never before, like a cartoon character and then make her endlessly deliver dialogue like "We must occupy our pre-ordained position." and "Know your place." Stating this outright once would have been hand-holding, but practically all the dialogue in the film is merely restating it. Then you have to sit through Ed Harris explaining it all again like three or four more times.
Who can say why Joon-ho decided to abandon subtlety for Snowpiercer. It sure wasn't for a wider appeal, not in his home country anyway. He's basically the James Cameron of South Korea, helming many of the top-grossing films in their history. Was it a concession to the English speaking audience, this being his first movie primarily aimed at them? (If so, that blew up in his face- the US distributor was apparently worried that this movie wouldn't play well domestically and crippled its distribution when Joon-ho wouldn't let them re-edit it.) Did he just simply want to try something new? At the moment we don't know, but it feels like the release of the Coen Brothers' Intolerable Cruelty; A whiff so hard from someone previously so consistently excellent you can't help but struggle for an explanation.
Adding insult to injury are the action scenes. The one or two that work, work because they're excellent ideas, not because they're presented especially thrillingly. The rest of the action scenes, the bulk of them, present us with no specific action, just signifiers of action; frames filled with people swinging objects at other people with no apparent effect or consequence. Noise. The action in The Host, the most action-oriented of Joon-ho's previous films, worked as anti-action; It was a monster movie in broad daylight, everything happened slowly, there were very few surprises. It radiated subversive glee. In a movie as direct as Snowpiercer, if the action doesn't carry the weight, the whole affair doesn't land with a thud, it lands in a puff of air.
Gambit #9 (2013)Posted: April 3, 2014 Filed under: Comics, Superhero Leave a comment »
I was ten in 1993, so nothing charges me with nostalgia like the X-Men. Gambit was my favorite. As such, today buying and reading Gambit comics is something I enjoy doing but take little pride in. Partly because I have considerable disdain for Marvel Comics due to their poor treatment of creators, and partly due to the fact that Gambit comics are almost always complete garbage. If Gambit has a prominent role in a comic, which is something that doesn't happen terribly often, I'll give it a look. If it's bearable, I pick it up new off the racks. If it's not, I wait for it to hit the dollar bins. I usually get to save my money. I sure did with this Gambit solo series that launched in 2012. James Asmus's stories and dialogue were hollow and dull, qualities that were reflected aptly by Clay Mann's stiff, lifeless, photo-esque art. (Mann did occasionally produce an image that I enjoyed however, a few of his covers were quite good.) To make matters even worse, the series had frequent, even worse fill-in artists. If history is any indication, Gambit will have another solo title in about five years. I hope it's better than this one was. In the meantime, he's a main character in All New X-Factor and, while the writing is only approaching bearable, I like the art quite a lot, so I'm pretty happy.
Credit where credit's due: There's a bit in this issue where a super villain pays someone in advance with shrunken money (which the recipient examines with a magnifying glass), and promises it will be restored to normal size upon completion of their deal. It's an Adam West Batman caliber gag.
Rain Comic #1Posted: November 2, 2013 Filed under: Anthology, Art, Comics, Humor, Weird Leave a comment »
Comic book, 2013
Rain Comic #1 is a recent release in a series of anthology comics published by Mickey Z and featuring work by her, Patrick Kyle, and Michael Deforge, each focusing of a different subject (Basketball Comic #1, Xmas Comic #1, etc.) Sometimes the subject, as with the most recent release, Butler Comic #1, contains thematic elements so intrinsic that they can't help but surface in each author's piece, no matter how far outside the realm of human experience and perception they twist it. So I was interested to see how they handled the subject of rain, possibly their most thematically broad topic yet. Reading it, I was surprised at how central the authors managed to make rain to their stories, both to the plot and thematically. In the various stories, ranging from one to six pages long each, rain is used to talk about legacy, experience, and as a transformational agent. All in all, only a couple of the one page strips seemed to say "oh, and it was also raining". After I finished the book, I remembered what James Kochalka did with the same subject in his Hulk Vs Rain story, and felt silly for not realizing ahead of time that, in the hands of a storytelling lineup as strong as this one, a broader subject could actually serve as an even more direct tool.
League of Gentlemen, Season 3 Episode 4 " The Medusa Touch"Posted: November 1, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »
Television, 2002
When a serialized work evolves into something distinct from its initial form, it can sometimes be hard not to miss the bits it shed in order to make room for what it became. Is it a creator's duty to maintain the work's original aim, or to at least guide its evolution in a way that will mitigate any disappointment on the part of the audience? Certainly not, but it does call into question whether it's a good idea to keep referring to it by the same name.
This, as you may have guessed is the difficulty I'm having with the third season of League of Gentlemen, a season with big differences from the two that came before it. In my view, so far, there are two departures of note: the absence of a laugh track and the relative mundanity of the characters. The inclusion of a laugh track in the early seasons was something that took getting used to for me. Distracting at first, but once I was able to tune it out it became a part of the ambience, a part that brought out the humor/ horror juxtaposition I previously discussed being central to the show. Without it, we're no longer watching a network comedy gone delirious, we're watching something delirious of its own free will, which is much less exciting.
Although it might stand to reason that this would free Gentlemen up to extend the boundaries of its insanity even further, it opts for just the opposite. This season consists of human interest stories- characters fall in love under difficult circumstances, experience career setbacks, and maintain extra-marital affairs. While those elements were always presented in the show, they now dominate it. Royston Vasey is no longer home to the monster children of deranged shopkeepers, menacing circus demons, and malicious psychic twins of seasons past. Where these characters had their roots in nightmare, season there's characters have their roots in reality.
The thing that compensates for these loses somewhat, and what I imagine what the show's creators intentionally sacrificed these things in order to achieve, is deeper stories that relate more directly to humanity. And it's certainly not a failure on that front. But with the depth of its comedy and the heights of its insanity cut off, you're forced to wonder if it's really the same show.
League of Gentlemen, Season 2 Episode 4 "Death in Royston Vasey"Posted: October 27, 2013 Filed under: Comedy, Horror, Television Leave a comment »
Television, 2000
League of Gentlemen is a show I've heard mentioned here and there over the years, most notably a few back when the Kids in the Hall reunited to produce a miniseries that was said to be a weak xerox of it. But that's selling the Kids in the Hall short, as League of Gentlemen clearly owes much to their original work as well. "If Kids in the Hall made Twin Peaks" is how I've been pitching it to people after having made my way through half the series over the last few weeks. As much as it owes to Kids in the Hall (the limited male cast portraying a wide array of characters including cross-dressing for the women, the rapid fire nature of sketch comedy, the off-beat sense of humor) it owes equally to Twin Peaks, with its recurring cast of oddball characters populating a small town, the sagas and mysteries of which continuously spiral forward, often ending up in very dark places. The place where those two distinct flavors, humor and horror, clash is where the show draws much of its power, as you're often left to wonder, as you're watching something absolutely ghastly or downright viscerally terrifying unfold, "How is there a laugh track on top of this?" But the loose and dangerous structure of the show, in addition to being an ideal vehicle for the creators' wild imaginations, showcases intricately structured, and unexpectedly emotionally intelligent, storytelling.

Zombie World: Champion of the Worms #3Posted: August 7, 2013 Filed under: Comics, Horror Leave a comment »
There are three Pat McEwons known to us, and they've appeared in this order. Work for hire Pat McEwon, who, early in his career, turned out many issues of work for creative interests other than his own. Then came Pat McEwon the auteur, who released a few inventive short stories from anthologies such as Dark Horse Presents and Dave Cooper's Weasel. Then came milk carton Pat McEwon, who's been largely absent from the comics scene for years, apart from one short story (for the Madman 20th anniversary book) and one graphic novel (Hair Shirt). Zombie World: Champion of Worms #3 (the only issue of the series I've read) occurs at a bridge between work for hire McEwon and auteur McEwon, being a work he created for someone else while still possessing many of the hallmarks of his auteur work. In it he's paired with an early instance of Mike Mignola as a writer only, and the result is a Hammer horror tinged take on Tintin. It's a good match, but not a perfect one- McEwon's layouts and characers pack the appropriate amount of whimsy, but his ghouls are too cartoony to be truly menacing. As for Mignola's side of things, this is writer-only Mignola pre-John Arcudi, so seemingly all consideration is given to plot, with none apparently given to characters. But if you'be got a kid edging up on feeling too old for Tintin and might respond to something a little darker, I imagine this would work like a charm.
TransformerPosted: August 6, 2013 Filed under: Art, Comics Leave a comment »
Comic book, 2012
Josh Bayer's drawings sure let you know they're working hard- beads of sweat fly off the character's furrowed brows as they struggle to convert simple thoughts into comprehensible communication. After seeing his work online for years as one of the more visible faces of the current alt-comics scene, Transformer is my first time reading one of his actual books (barring the Suspect Device series he edits, in which all his contributors seem to adapt his visual language to varying degrees). It's a comic about comics, in the way I suspect his Raw Power series is about punk. Furthermore, it's a comic about making comics, almost making it self-referential twice over. Postmodernism can often feel impersonal, but Bayer seems to be able to overcome this. It's just as easy to imagine the beads of sweat flying off the protagonists of Transformer are Bayer's own as they are the artistic icons they ostensibly represent.

I bought a Centurion bike from a friend last fall, and have recently been trying to figure out its history.
I read Ashley Wright's article (posted on sheldonbrown.com) about Centurion:
Ashley says the company stopped making the Centurion mark in 1990. I'm guessing that my frame is one of the last that was made, since it has a more modern seatstay setup (see pics at link below), and vertical dropouts.
I have posted detail pics at:
Does anyone have more info/ideas on this frame? Thanks!

"The Motorola MPx with a unique, compact dual-hinge design is one of the first devices that take advantage of key capabilities enabled by Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition software," said Michael Tatelman, vice president and general manager of the MOTOPro group, Motorola Mobile Handset Business. According to Motorola, the MPx will replace the "multi-device syndrome", by blending the best of a mobile phone, personal data assistant (PDA) and email messenger in one easy-to-use compact device.
The Motorola MPx is expected to be available in the second half of 2004.
It is a good handset

Named for the year it opened, this restaurant serves traditional French and Swiss cuisine in an eclectic mix of dining rooms. It holds the strange distinction of occupying the only building in Panama City that resembles a Swiss chalet. The owner, chef Willy Dingelman, trained in Lausanne then moved to Panama three decades ago, and has since developed a small restaurant and wine-importing empire. They consequently have an excellent wine cellar. When President Ricardo Martinelli was on the campaign trail, Dingelman promised he'd share a $15,000 bottle if he won the election; there's a photo of the post-election moment on the wall at the entrance. Dingelman's original Swiss restaurant, called the Rincón Suizo, is now a rustic dining room in the back of 1985—two menus under one roof. The decor is a bit of this and a bit of that, with a cluttered collection of chairs and couches in the long entrance, but people come here for the food, such as chicken cordon bleu, tenderloin in green peppercorn sauce, raclette, bratwurst, or Zürcher Geschnetzeltes (veal chunks in a mushroom cream sauce).

Malawi gays appeal convictionComment on this story
Blantyre - Malawi's top court is considering an appeal of the conviction of three men who are serving long jail terms for homosexual acts. Activists describe it as a landmark case.
The High Court started hearing the case on Monday after the Center for Development of People, a civil rights group that campaigns for minority rights, challenged the government on its tough laws on gays.
Gift Trapence, executive director of the civil rights group, wants the court to declare that the laws criminalizing homosexuality in Malawi are unconstitutional.
In 2011, a lower court in Malawi sentenced the three men to between six and 12 years imprisonment with hard labor.

1944 Dodge Ram
I recently bout a '97 Ram 1500 4x4. The left front axle seal began leaking after a crunching/grinding noise was heard. I removed the right front axle and found that the bushing which goes into the female end had been destroyed. Differential gears all looked good and so did shift fork and related stuff. The seal appeared untouched. I replaced the axle seal anyway along with that bushing, and three days later it began leaking again. Same problem. The U-joint is good, the axle, shift fork and coupler, slip yoke, and everything looks fine. I don't know what has happened here, but I suspect that is why this guy sold me the truck to begin with. If anyone has info, please help!

Safely operating a boat in difficult conditions is a matter of your mind-set, your skills and your boat
Chris Fertig and his two-man crew were nearly halfway through a 780-mile passage from New York to Bermuda when confused 8- to 10-foot seas forced them to call off their attempt to break the Bermuda Challenge powerboat record.
Small-boat expert Chris Fertig highlights four important areas to be aware of when running offshore or in rough water.
Editor's note: This is the second in a two-part series about sailboat sea trials.
The sea trial is your chance to determine how a prospective boat performs. Last month I discussed the conditions the boat should be taken out in, putting her through her paces, how she sails, how she handles under power alone, and more. But the sea trial is also an opportunity to "live the boat."

Instructional Styles Used by Regular Classroom Teachers While Teaching Recently Mainstreamed ESL Students: Six Urban Middle School Teachers in Texas Share Their Experiences and Perceptions
Curtin, Ellen "Aileen", Multicultural Education
It is the teachers of America who meet the daily challenge of addressing the culturally diverse needs of both immigrant and native students. Researchers demonstrate that understanding the background and culture and immigrant children is a necessary component for teachers to provide a more successful educational experience for these students (Banks, 2001; Gay, 2000; Olson, 1997; Sleeter & Grant, 1991).
Much educational research illuminates that the majority of teachers who do not have English as a second Language (ESL) background or training can be illequipped to work with immigrant, nonEnglish speaking, and culturally diverse children (Trueba, Cheng, & Ima, 1993; Ladson-Billings, 1994). Research reveals that 75% of non-English speaking students are placed with teachers who lack specialized training in second language acquisition, English as a second language, or bilingual education (McKeon,1994).
What instructional methods do nonESL trained teachers use in their classrooms with ESL students? Byrnes et al. (1998) examined the practices used by regular classroom teachers involved in teaching ESL students. Using survey data, the researcher team examined teachers' knowledge about second language learning and their classroom practices. The findings of this study suggested that teachers who had not typically received formal training in second-language learning demonstrated inadequate teaching strategies for ESL students. The study demonstrated that there were inadequate resources available to regular classroom non-ESL teachers, and that these teachers were engaged in teaching practices that were detrimental to the academic and personal development of ESL students.
Many states including Texas require that all students pass state standardized tests (TAKS: Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) to graduate from high school. The impact of such state mandates also effects ESL students at the middle school level who are now required within three years to achieve on-grade level academic goals in a second language. What specific teaching strategies do regular content middle school teachers use to ensure that their ESL students can meet state level expectations?
This article presents the results of a qualitative research study conducted in one Texas urban middle school. One of the purposes of the study was to investigate the instructional methods used by regular classroom teachers to address the unique needs of ESL students recently main-streamed into these teachers' regular content classes.
Western Heights Middle School
The site chosen for this study was an urban middle school in a large school district in Texas. This school was located in an economically disadvantaged urban setting, had an immigrant student population of more than 30%, and has an "acceptable" academic rating on the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS: Texas Assessment of Academic Skills) for the 2000-2001 school year. The state standardized test was named Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) during the data collection period. The test was replaced the following year by the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) test.
The immigrant students for this study spent a year in the Immigrant Welcome Center, a service that was supported by local funds from the district. After a year in this center, the immigrant student spent a minimum of one year in a Language Center (sheltered ESL center) developing basic English language skills acquired from the Welcome Center while learning grade level specific content.
All teachers in the Language Center were ESL certified teachers. The teachers in the Language Center determined when each ESL student was ready to be mainstreamed into the regular classrooms for some or most of the day. This usually occurred during the students' third year in the United States and their second year at the Language Center. The student was also required to take the TAAS test at the end of the third year of education in the United States. …

Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
In this article
Flexible sigmoidoscopy is a routine outpatient procedure in which the inner lining of the lower large intestine is examined. Flexible sigmoidoscopy is commonly used to evaluate gastrointestinal symptoms, such as abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, or changes in bowel habits. It is also performed to screen people older than age 50 for colon and rectal cancer.
During the procedure, a doctor uses a sigmoidoscope, a long, flexible, tubular instrument about 1/2 inch in diameter, to view the lining of the rectum and the lower third of the colon (the sigmoid colon).

Colon Cancer That Has Spread to Your Liver
Cancer that starts in your colon can sometimes spread to other parts of your body, including the liver. Another name for this cancer is metastatic, or stage IV, colon cancer. Your doctor might find that the cancer has spread to your liver when he first diagnoses you with colon cancer. Or after you've been treated, the colon cancer can come back and spread to the liver. About half of people with colorectal cancer will develop cancer that has spread. It's normal to feel worried when you have...
Read the Colon Cancer That Has Spread to Your Liver article > >
How Do I Prepare for a Flexible Sigmoidoscopy?
Before having a flexible sigmoidoscopy, make sure you tell your doctor about any medical conditions you may have that he or she may not know about.
You should always tell your doctor if you:
- Are pregnant
- Have a lung or heart condition
- Are allergic to any medications
- Have diabetes or take drugs that may affect blood clotting
Adjustments to these medications may be required before the sigmoidoscopy procedure.
Never stop taking any medication without first consulting with your doctor.
You may need to take antibiotics before the sigmoidoscopy if you:
- Have an artificial heart valve
- Have ever been told you need to take antibiotics before a dental or surgical procedure
Do I Have to Stop Eating and Drinking Before a Flexible Sigmoidoscopy?
There are no diet or fluid restrictions before a flexible sigmoidoscopy. But, your bowel must be cleansed in order for sigmoidoscopy to be successful. You will receive two enemas before the procedure since the rectum and lower intestine must be empty so that the intestinal walls can be seen. You will need to try to hold the enema solution for at least five minutes before releasing it.
How Is a Flexible Sigmoidoscopy Performed?
A flexible sigmoidoscopy is performed by a doctor experienced in the procedure, and usually lasts from 10 minutes to 20 minutes. No sedation is required. Your doctor will have you lie on your left side, with your knees drawn up. The sigmoidoscope, a flexible tube with a camera on the end, is inserted through the rectum and passes slowly into the sigmoid colon. A small amount of air is used to expand the colon so the doctor can see the colon walls. You may feel mild cramping during the procedure. You can reduce the cramping by taking several slow, deep breaths during the procedure. When the doctor has finished, the sigmoidoscope is slowly withdrawn while the lining of your bowel is carefully examined.

Set the Stage for Success continued...
Talk with your teen to get his buy-in.
To get your overweight teen to focus on managing or losing weight, he has to approve of the approach. He has to be involved. Of course, getting your teen interested in anything might feel like a challenge, and teen weight loss can seem like an especially hard sell. Don't tell your teen that he needs to lose weight. Talk to him. Ask questions instead of making declarations -- and really listen to what he has to say. Ask, "How do you feel about your weight?" Then, be quiet and listen. If your teen is resistant, lay off the topic for a little while. Hopefully you will have planted a seed for thought, and he'll be more open the next time you bring up the issue.
Be your teen's healthy lifestyle coach.
It may not seem like it, but you have more of an influence over your teen than you think. The trick is to not force a healthy lifestyle on your overweight teen. Your role should be more like a coach than a sheriff. Encourage your teen to find his own incentives to change his food and lifestyle choices. Studies support what may seem like common sense: Overweight teens don't feel happy about being overweight. Overweight teens don't want to be teased at school. But overweight teens do want to feel in control.
Start with changes at home.
Your overweight teen is not the only one who needs to make changes to his way of life. To help your teen succeed, you -- and everyone else in the family -- need to embrace a healthier lifestyle, too. If you single out your overweight teen to improve only his habits, it won't work. Instead, your teen is likely to feel criticized and punished, which is much less likely to motivate him than striving for a healthier way of living. Everyone in the family will benefit when you set health goals together.
Share your struggle.
Not sure you're up for the challenge of being a healthy role model? Relax a bit. It's OK if your teen sees you struggling to build new habits. Let him hear your frustration as you waver between choosing a healthy snack like carrots and peanut butter versus an old junk-food standby like chips and dip. Let him know that it can be hard to make the time to go for a walk around the neighborhood and to find the motivation to do it. But remind him -- and yourself -- that feeling good afterward is worth it. Turn the challenges you face into opportunities to ask for your teen's support and to find ways to work together to make healthy lifestyle choices easier for both of you.

Yield2 cups
2 ranges, juiced
1 cup macadamia nuts
2 inch piece of fresh vanilla pod
squeeze of lemon or lime
Recipe Directions
place all the ingredients in a coffee milla nd blend until smooth. if you're making a larger amount, a more powerful blender such as a vita-mix or a food processor will work. add more nuts if you want a thicker creme. if you desire thinner, add more orange juice.
vanilla creme will keep fro a couple of days in the refrigerator if you don't eat it all right away.
variation :
to make a creme that goes better with more savory dishes, use a bit more lemon or lime and less orange. omit the the vanilla.
great on top of ice-cream!

A 'Normal' Grandmother-A Response To The City Of Beasts By Isabel Allende - Poem by Monina Furigay
I love to burn the tongues of children
with the flaming taste of Tabasco sauce.
Trust me when I say "I'm not a villain",
though it's hard to get that point across.
I may be old, but my memory's sharp.
Better than yours, I'm sure.
I may sound mean, but I have a good heart.
Please, rest assured.
I love to write and explore the world.
There's nothing like adventure.
Imagine all the stories unfurl.
I can't resist the danger.

Comments about Michael Kors Parker Rose Gold Tone & Blush Chronograph Watch:
I loved this watch when I got it! I have not even had it half a year yet and some of the rose gold has worn off. I dont wear it often and I am very gentle on my jewelry. I love the watch but I am very disappointed that it looks almost tarnished, especially for how much the watch costs.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have had my eye on this watch for months. So I added it to my Christmas Wish List. My husband tried to find it for me but it was sold out in our local stores. But we went shopping in Nashville the day after Christmas and I was able to find it in the Dillard's in Green Hills...the BEST part was it was actually 30% off that day!!!! I have gotten soooo many compliments on it and I am smitten!

The HTC One (M8) brought with it a load of new camera features, including its unique Duo Camera setup on its back side. Now, the handset maker is opening up the code that powers the pair in a SDK preview for third-party devs. This means that apps can be designed specifically for the M8's cameras with DualLens and DimensionPlus APIs baked right in. In other words, developers will get their hands on that bokeh-style refocusing and multi-angled shot selection in addition to depth maps from the pair of cameras. Of course, only time will tell how eager app makers are to latch on to HTC's smartphone snapshooting tricks, but at least now they'll have the necessary tools to do so.
