Kids Fun in the Sun in South Africa at the Twelve Apostles Hotel, Cape Town
There are few settings as remarkable as this. The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa stands at the very edge of the world, gazing out at breeching whales and playful dolphins in the rolling Atlantic. Table Mountain looms on the coast, just minutes from Cape Town. Now is the perfect time to visit the Southern Hemisphere, and the Twelve Apostles makes it fun for both kids and parents with the "Kids Fun in the Sun" package. The hotel's motto is "No request is too large, no detail too small"-- and this applies to the kids as well. Fancy a bowl of freshly-cooked popcorn while you settle in to the private 16-seater theater? No sweat. With this package, you'll enjoy a luxurious one-bedroom suite facing the sea for four days (three nights) and full English breakfast each day for the whole family. It's easy to roam free on the surrounding beaches, or explore Cape Town with the guide prepared by the hotel. You can also enjoy tickets to the Aquarium at the Waterfront. While Mom and Dad luxuriate in the Sanctuary Spa (voted best spa resort in Africa) and check out the hydrotherapy pools and flotation tank, the kids will be entertained by a professional baby-sitter (3 hours of babysitting is included in the package). The kids will get goodie packs, free in-room movies, plus a basket of toys to play with. Mom will get a survival kit. For a family of four, the package is priced at 5,735 South African Rands ($510 per night).

There are few plugins with the simplicity of this one, and it works great.
A "feature" I found is that using the same password on different posts means the password only needs to be entered once.
One thing I didn't like was the "Protected: " text added onto post titles, and the apparent removal of the posts from the search (leave the titles in?).
Good work!

The venue's warrant was suspended in November last year when
former groundsman Wayne Walker resigned.
His replacement, Andrew Douglas, was employed the same week
NZC withdrew the warrant but the national body said the
appointment had come too late and it wanted time to work with
Douglas to assess his ability.
Otago's twenty/20 game against Northern Districts last
December was transferred from Molyneux Park to the University
Oval in Dunedin.
That decision split the cricket community. Otago Country
chairman and long-serving Otago scorer Malcolm Jones was
angered by the decision, while former New Zealand and Otago
left-armer Shayne O'Connor, who was then on the board of
Otago Country, backed the call to transfer the match.
Otago Cricket Association chief executive Ross Dykes
yesterday confirmed the suspension had been lifted when
contacted by the Otago Daily Times.
"There is no chance of us playing any first-class cricket
there this year because that has all been scheduled and

"But it has had its warrant re-established and we have had a

district council and Otago Country cricket, just identifying

"It is great news for Molyneux Park and the community that

" This is an alright hotel if you're looking to save a bit of money. Everyone's reviews about them not recognizing bookings from Hostel World (or being able to re-coop the deposit you pay on Hostel World) are true. I recommend calling and emailing as opposed to booking through Hostel World - as they will not be aware of your reservation otherwise.

PARIS -- As an American, Olympic champion Kerri Walsh
supports New York's bid to host the 2012 Games -- but she still
dreams of playing beach volleyball at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.
Paris, the favorite in the race to host the games, wants to
imbue the Olympics with French flair and romance. How about a beach
lined with volleyball nets under the soaring beams of the city's
famous iron tower?
"That would be unbelievable," Walsh said. "Obviously I'm
partial to New York 2012 ... but if Paris does win, playing the
beach volleyball tournament under the Eiffel Tower would be
Paris' mix of famous landmarks, excellent infrastructure and
savoir faire in hosting major sporting events has given it the
perceived edge over rival bidders London, Madrid, New York and
Moscow. The International Olympic Committee selects the winner in
Singapore on July 6.
As a preview this month, the Champs-Elysees was transformed into
a sports playground featuring a running track close to the Arc de
Triomphe and a huge swimming pool. Organizers hoped 500,000 people
would show up; about 1 million did.
"The enthusiasm of the country ... we see it daily. The love of
the games is a reality," Paris 2012 bid leader Philippe Baudillon
told The Associated Press.
Host of the 1998 World Cup soccer final and the 2003 world track
& field championships, Paris has ready-built stadiums and
invaluable know-how when it comes to managing big sporting events.
"We have Stade de France, Bercy, Roland Garros," Baudillon
said. "Those who run them know how they function, how to manage
the flow of people, the media, security issues."
When the IOC visited in March, evaluation commission leader
Nawal El Moutawakel highlighted the fact that Paris has the
80,000-seat Stade de France. Madrid and Moscow plan to refurbish
stadiums; London and New York would build new ones.
Still, after failed attempts for the 1992 and 2008 Olympics, an
air of caution hangs over the Paris bid.
Potential conflicts with strike-prone unions and environmental
groups, and France's rejection of the proposed European Union
constitution have not enhanced the city's image. Olympic officials
are warning the vote will be tight.
Paris last hosted the Olympics in 1924. London, which last held
them in 1948, is considered its top challenger.
"The level of competition is a dynamic element and a plus
point," Baudillon said. "Each city is really giving everything."
An IOC evaluation report issued June 6 gave Paris a glowing
review. It noted the city had "fully taken into account" the
IOC's recommendations for controlling the cost and size of the
"We want to work with the IOC on questions of the future,"
Baudillon said. "This is our third candidature. We took into
consideration the recommendations of the IOC and our own
The Paris budget for the games totals $5.3 billion, including
public investment and private funding.
Eighteen of the proposed 31 Olympic sites are within a 10-minute
drive from the planned Olympic village, giving Paris a compact and
breezy look.
The village -- $2.54 billion -- will be funded privately, as will
the proposed SuperDome and media center.
France is a leader in the fight against doping, a campaign led
by Sports Minister Jean-Francois Lamour, a two-time Olympic fencing
gold medalist -- another strong point in the proposal.
Security is another. Around 41,000 police officers, armed police
and soldiers would be mobilized.
Paris was a target of terrorism in the mid-1990s, with Algerian
Islamic insurgents setting off homemade bombs in subways, but
France says the experience gave it expertise in fighting terror.
Matters appeared more complicated for the Paris bid in March.
Strikes and street protests against government policies to roll
back France's 35-hour week crippled public transport -- raising
fears this could happen in 2012.
While Paris commuters crammed aboard the few trains left
running, IOC inspectors were ferried by bus and escorted by police
motorcycles to Stade de France -- where they lunched on lobster
mousse, fish and caramelized bananas.
Meanwhile, angry environmentalists protested against plans to
build the 15,000-seat SuperDome for judo and badminton in the Bois
de Boulogne park on Paris' western edge.
Some 2.3 acres of wooded area would be destroyed. After the
games, the dome would become an extension of the Roland Garros
tennis complex, home of the French Open.
Environmentalists now back the bid providing certain conditions
are met, and five unions affirmed their support last week.
"Paris can manage all the contradictions and difficulties to
make a coherent project," Baudillon said.
President Jacques Chirac is scheduled to arrive in Singapore a
day before the vote to lobby for the Paris bid, while British Prime
Minister Tony Blair will be there to campaign for London.
Chirac has called the Paris bid "the candidacy of the entire
"You can rely on my absolute determination to support it, to
promote it and, with all of you, to win it," he said.

Re: Mayweather vs Guerrero: Deal is Close to being Done
He's hardly ever taken any fights that he didn't know beforehand that he was going to win.
Sorry to sound like a broken record, but that's the truth of the matter.
He's never really put himself in the firing line - he's never given the fans the fights that they wanted.
The fans wanted Margarito, Cotto, Pacquiao.... he stuttered like a cold turkey alcoholic when asked if he'd fight Margarito, he retired to avoid Cotto and made up excuses galore to avoid Pacquiao.
All in their primes.
Not saying this era could have been as good as the 80's by a long shot, but where was his ''Leonard/Hearns'' or ''Hagler/Hearns'', where?
Barrera, Morales, Marquez & Pac all fought each other (JMM & Erik aside) - multiple times, there's three or four of those fights that would be right up there in any historian's list of great fights.
The best fight Floyd has ever been involved in.... probably the pair against Castillo, or Hatton perhaps. Nowhere near THAT kinda level in terms of quality or intrigue.

State Snapshots Of Obamacare Enrollment
New York – Lawmakers are grilling exchange officials in New York too, where 156,902 people had signed up for private coverage by the end of December, WNYC's Fred Mogul reports: "Several members of the Senate Health Committee relayed complaints from their constituents on everything from lack of Spanish translation to unclear listings of eligible doctors and hospitals." The panel heard from an opthalmologist who had been dropped from the Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield network as a provider. "At the same time," Mogul writes, "she also held an Empire plan for herself and her husband and her employees, and she discovered their physicians were no longer in-network, either."
"Every single one of us were losing our doctors – 100% of our doctors," Dr. Patricia McLaughlin told the committee.

Doing further research on Takao Ozawa, I found out that his only son, George, (he had four daughters as well) died in World War II fighting for the 100th Combat Battalion.
future: portland
The deed to the house I mostly grew up in Portland (in the Hollywood district of NE) had a clause that stated if any owner sold it to an African American or Chinese (paraphrasing the original language), the property was supposed to revert back to the previous owner. The clause wasn′t enforced because such restrictive covenants are no longer constitutional (luckily!), but learning about it in high school was revelatory, an eye-opening experience that helped explain the feeling we had, both of being the only Asian household in our neighborhood and of living next to the only Black household in our neighborhood. That past informs Portland′s present and its future. Here's a documentary that raises questions about that future:
(as does this Washington Post article)
mixing history and place
On my way to do research at the SF regional branch of the National Archives, I realized the odd historical juxtaposition of its immediate geography. To get to the archives – to do research on Asian American history – I've been walking through a mall that is built on the site of the former Tanforan racetrack, which was both an assembly center during the Japanese American internment and the home of Seabiscuit, the racehorse.
Here are the plaques commemorating the two (and sideways perspective of the JA plaque showing it in its commercial context):
Ozawa's notebooks
And a surprising find in the archives: a set of composition books that have Takao Ozawa's handwritten research notes for his 1914 naturalization petition. The first notebook begins: "The first time I came here, I was not prepared, but to day I am. However, because I am not a lawyer, I do not know how to speak in the Court. Besides that, English is not my native language, so I can not speak as well as Americans do. I will, however, do my best in defending my case."
The notes were transcribed by the federal district court and used as "briefs" in his hearing before the court.
ABZ and APT redux
I've posted about the Asiatic Barred Zone and Asia-Pacific Triangle recently. I've also been looking into ways to display them interactively. After a bit of digging, I learned about KML (Keyhole Markup Language), an extension of XML for geographic annotation and visualization that has become the standard for the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). I put together a small KML file to display both the ABZ and the APT. I've embedded a map view below using the file that allows you to view and interact with it using Google Maps. The file can also be downloaded and used independently with Google Earth.
Unfortunately, Google Maps/Earth only displays contemporary political boundaries in its standard view. I'm looking into finding or develop an overlay that displays political boundaries in the region from 1917-1965. If anyone knows of one or would like to assist, please contact me by e-mail.
The Asia-Pacific Triangle
Last week I posted some of my research on the Asiatic "Barred Zone" including a map of the zone.To follow up, here are a few brief notes about the Asia-Pacific Triangle, which replaced the barred zone.
The "Asiatic Barred Zone"
As I've occasionally posted, I'm researching the "Asiatic Barred Zone" created by Congress in 1917 for an article and book project on race, geography, and territoriality. Recently I've been going over the Congressional Record and other government documents to retrace the specific details of its origin and formulation and found some interesting material.
yet more on "chink"
In a previous post, I wrote about my searches on Google's ngram viewer on the relative historical use of the terms "chink" and "Chink." Ngram viewer's dataset only goes to 2008/9, but another Google web tool, trends, tracks the text of web searches (at Google, obviously) since 2004 – yes, trends is a text search of text searches, so for those folks who love self-referentiality, it is in effect a meta-search engine. Since they draw on different data, actual print usage versus web search text, the two tools aren't directly comparable. Nevertheless, a quick check on Google trends for the term "chink" was interesting.
more on "chink"
[Classes ended yesterday so I'm in the process of updating and publishing posts I wrote this fall.]
In May, in the aftermath of the controversy over the use of the phrase "chink in the armor" as a ESPN headline for an article about Jeremy Lin, I wrote a post about the term "chink" and its historical use and origin. This fall I've been thinking about the digital humanities and data visualization for my courses and I remembered Google's ngram viewer. It's an online tool that draws on the digitalization of books and other print materials that are the basis for Google Books. It allows you to can chart the frequency with which a word (or words) occurs in that database. Because the database includes historical works, in effect the ngram viewer charts the historical use of words in print. I decided to use it to check the arguments I made in my previous post.
election racial demographics
Much of the media coverage in the wake of President Obama's reelection on Tuesday has focused on the United States' changing racial demographics, their impact on the election, and their implications for the future. These results, however, shouldn't surprise people who have been observing and writing about these demographic shifts for years.

Her advice to new students is to make the most of Open Day. "There is a lot of information (on the day) you can't just get from the VTAC guide or university websites."
Talk to Katherine about why she chose Monash – and where the best lounges are on campus.

Open Day Faqs
What's Open Day?
If you're thinking of starting university, it's a chance for you to visit our campus, get an idea of who we are, and see if we're right for you. You can bring your family and friends along too.There are lots of activities and events to get involved in, and you'll also find:
- Current students who can answer all your questions about studying at Monash
- Academics and staff who can answer in-depth questions about courses, study areas and careers
- Researchers sharing their most innovative and interesting research projects
- Student Services staff who can help with everything from enrolment to graduation
- Information about life on campus, sports, clubs and support services
- Tours, food stalls and much more
Do I have to come for the whole day?
Definitely not. You can come to as many Open Days as you want, stay for as long as you like, and get involved wherever you're interested.
We have 3 Open Days – Saturday 6 August at our Peninsula campus, Sunday 7 August at the Caulfield and Clayton campuses and Sunday 21 August for our Parkville campus.
Open Day will run:
- 10am - 3pm at Parkville and Peninsula
- 10am - 4pm at Caulfield and Clayton
Should I come to Open Day if I'm a graduate or returning to study?
Absolutely. You'll find lots of events and information tailored to graduates and mature age students – alongside those for our Year 11 and 12 visitors. You might also be interested in other events we hold throughout the year for graduates and mature age students.
Can I bring family and friends to Open Day?
Yes! Bring anyone you'd like to involve in your study journey.
How do I get to the campus?
There are lots of different ways to get to our campuses (you'll find details in the 'What's on' section above). We'll also be running free shuttle buses between the Caulfield and Clayton campuses, Huntingdale station and Clayton campus, and between Frankston train station and Peninsula campus.
Should I go to Open Day at more than one campus?
You don't have to, but it'll be easy to get between them on the day if you'd like to attend activities at different campuses. It's a good idea to use the planner to make sure you've seen everything you want at one campus before you move to the next.
Is there free car parking on campus?
Yes, all our parking is free on Open Day.
Do I have to use the online planner?
No, you can organise your visit however you like. Just remember, there are more than 500 activities going on around Monash Open Day, so you might like to prepare your visit and print off your plan.
There'll be Open Day programs available on the day too, if you'd prefer not to plan everything out before you come.
Can I change my plan?
Sure, just log back into the online planner using your email address and make as many changes as you'd like.
Is there anything I should do to prepare?
It's a good idea to have a list of questions with you, to make sure you get all the information you need. As well as asking about courses, you might be interested to know:
- How does Monash help me get a job when I finish studying?
- What's the benefit of a double degree?
- Can I travel and study at the same time?
- Are there leadership programs I can get involved with?
- What are my accommodation options?
- How much does university accommodation cost?
- What scholarships and support are offered? Do I qualify?
- What sports and other facilities does the university have? Are these free to use?
- What student clubs could I join?
- What are the main deadlines for applications? Are there other dates I need to remember?
- Have I completed the right VCE subjects (or other study) for the course I want to do?
- I'm an international student. How will my experience differ from a domestic student? Is there a different application process?
- What are the fees for international students?
- Are international students eligible for any scholarships or financial aid?
- Are international students guaranteed university accommodation?
- What special support services are available for international students?
Are all faculties at all Open Days?
All faculties will be represented at the Clayton campus. Each campus will generally promote the courses they offer. It's best to visit the campus where you'll be studying – you can figure which one is right for you by looking up your preferred courses.
What should I do when I get to the campus?
If you don't have a printed copy of the program, the first thing to do is grab a hard copy – so you know what's going on. Then you can start looking for our staff and student ambassadors (they'll be out and about in blue Monash hoodies).
Can I go to activities or presentations if I haven't planned my day online?
Yes! It's best to plan ahead so you know what's happening and don't miss key events, but you don't have to.
Can I wander around the student facilities?
Absolutely. Open Day is all about discovering what life at Monash is like – so you can explore everything from the library and lecture theatres, to our cafes, gyms and accommodation services.
Is there anywhere to eat on campus?
On Open Day, there's lots of free food and drinks on offer for visitors. And all our campuses have lots of other cafes and food options too.
How can I help my child get the most out of Open Day?
We'll have more than 500 activities going on across our campuses, so encouraging your child to plan ahead with the online planner is a good idea.
Should I come?
Yes, definitely. This is a time when students will need advice and help making the right decisions for their future, and a lot of them will turn to their families for that. And if they'd like to explore on their own for a while, there are plenty of cafes for you to enjoy.
How can I help my son or daughter find the right course?
This can be a really difficult time for students, as they try to navigate the huge range of courses available to them. To help them figure out what the best path might be, try asking them some open-ended questions that will encourage them to think about their passions, strengths and goals:
- "What do you love doing most?"
- "What are you best at?"
- "Which careers appeal to you?"
- "What would you like to achieve by the time you're 30?"
- "Do you know what's on offer? It's not just about courses – what about study abroad opportunities, leadership programs, and recreational activities."
- "Have you completed, or are you completing, the right VCE subjects?"
From there, you can make a shortlist together, and decide on some back up options in case your child doesn't get into their first course or university preference. Open Day is a great place to ask questions about career paths, courses and pathways
Remember, while this is an important decision, many people change their career paths a number of times throughout their life. That's why at Monash we equip our students with general skills like communication, negotiation and leadership, as well as academic ones.
Can you help me understand all the terminology?
You and your child may well come across language you're unfamiliar with when you start investigating courses and universities.
We have developed a glossary of terms (pdf) to assist you in understanding key terms.

Originally hailing from the Boston area, I lived, traveled and worked around the US before a job in the semiconductor industry sent me overseas. I returned to the US to work in the cellular communications industry, but the travel bug had bitten me and three years later I was soon on the road again.
These days I live in the north of Argentina with my girlfriend and whatever stray dog or cat we have taken in. I work as a freelancer, primarily in Wordpress but am always up to learn new technologies.
I don't feel the need to argue with other programmers over the correct way to do something, nor do I like to vote people down because their question wasn't exactly within the guidelines for posting. So I don't participate as much as I would like to in Stack Exchange.
I am available for hire but these days I am looking for something a bit more permanent than freelance offers me. So if you have a decent amount of work, please write me at nawrockp gmail - you know the rest...

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - One of Governor Bob Riley's Cabinet members, Bill Johnson, is considering running for the Republican nomination for governor next year.
Johnson is director of the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs. He said Thursday he has been receiving lots of encouragement to consider the governor's race, and he's doing that. Johnson said he has not set a deadline for deciding.
Johnson's boss has served two terms as governor and can't run again next year.

I would like to run versions of Mozilla Firefox 3.6.5+ as a single process, just as it was in versions 3.6.3 and prior.
The reason is that, on Linux, I am running within proxychains - which doesn't bind to forked processes. Because the plugins in versions 3.6.5+ run in a forked process I can't use proxychains to redirect Flash streams.
Is there a setting in modern versions of Firefox that allow me to run plugins in the main process?

Nice Beach In Pochomil
Pochomil is south of Managua about 1 hour on the Pacific Ocean. It is a popular weekend spot for people living in Managua. The beach is big and very accessible. Along the beach front at the INTUR entrance, you will find dozens of local comedores "local grass hut restaurants" serving up the daily catch from the ocean. Pochomil is a small town and the sister city is the poor fishing town of Masachpa. Not much to do here as compared to other beach towns in the world and there is virtually no shopping. However, this is a great place to enjoy quiet beaches that extend for 20 miles in either direction. Surfing is beginner stuff here but much better further up the beach. You can also rent ATV's or a horse. Restaurants at night are few, but a new one just opeded behind Vista Mar Hotel called La Rocca. Excellent food and nice cold beer. Great people. Luke and Margarita are the owners. They also have a small hotel in progress of construction. The only other restaurants serving dinner are in Masachapa. This is a no-frills environment, very laid back and rural.
Directions: South of Managua about 1 hour in the direction of the old highway to Leon.

Hiking to Ancient Archeological Sites
Few people, including Nicaraguans, know of the large number of unstudied archeological sites in the low lands near Pochomil. There is one tour that takes you to one of Nicaragua's most signficant archeolocial sites. It is in an area that few know of and only requires a walk of about 2 miles. This site has one of the 2 only sites, yet discovered, that strongly suggest the practice of human sacrifice. All other sites found so far in Nicaragua are void of such imagery. Additionally, the walk puts you in direct contact with some local family farmers so you can see exactly how these people live in this remote sector of Nicaragua. As an added bonus there are 2 fantastic swimming holes that can be enjoyed most year around. These waters are not the murky type characteristic with Latin American creeks and rivers. They are transparent. Contact the local tour company www.inspirationtours.org for more details Or talk with reception at Barcelo, Montelimar.

ATV Snorkeling Tour
From close by Montelimar you can enjoy a surreal ATV/Snorkeling tour that takes you up the beach about 15 miles. Yes, 15 miles of undeveloped beach that is. The location is a huge tidal pool that is formed in low tide that is about 200 yards long and 100 yards wide and about 10 feet deep at the deepest point. Most fish are found in 3 to 6 feet of water. Very safe location for beginner snorklers. Inquire with the local tour operator, Inspiration Tours for details. www.inspirationtours.org

Starry nights on the Beach
After a good dinner a few of us in our group decided to go back to the beach and relax under the starry sky. Even though there was light coming from a nearby resort (they had a generator going cause the electricity was out again), it was still pretty dark so we took our flash lights with us so we could find our way back to the stairs. Strooling on the beach at night or just sitting listening to the crashing waves is great (and very cool when its hot in your room). So Have walk on the beach the go have some Flor de Cana and Coke by candle light at the restaurante to top off your night!
ATV's and Horsies!!
It may have the look of a tourist trap but renting an ATV or a horse to take for a spin around the beach wasnt all that bad. It was 100 cordobas (17 cds to the dollar- 17:1; 170= 10USD) for a half an our ride for the ATV and only 40 cords for the same time on a horse(which could be led in front or followed from behind by the owners). Its worth it ! there are a few places on the beach to get an ATV or two (you have to be 16 to rent one just so you know, but parents can ride with children.) The guys with the horses will come up to you if you even hint at interest and you can take your pick! No matter what you ride remember that there are other people on the beach. Be Aware so you dont crash or run someone over (or straight into the ocean). Be smart, and have lots of fun! Also see tourist trap to see more pic's!

Relaxing on the beach
I arrived to Pochomil in the beginning of December. Apparently not the high-season, the beach was deserted as the pictures shows.
The beach and the water were really nice though, and the sun was shining. Next to the beach there is a kind of a promenade, where restaurants in palmhuts offer dishes with fish.
Having the beach to myself was all right for a while, but then it became quite boring not to have anybody to talk to. Worse being, that all the locals wanted to sell me stuff at the beach and they all wanted me to eat in their restaurant. Apparently they had get all the income they normally got from a hole crowd of tourist just from me.

PT21 - Women's Dura-Kap Industrial Work PantWrite a Review
Good product and service
I previously had purchased Red Cap pants and was impressed. As with the first pairs, these pants fit well, launder well and are comfortable. The service was great immediate notification of backordered colors and no delay in shipping as soon as they were available. I have recommended them to friends and will continue to do so.
Amazing U rock!!!
very rurable.
I been buying this pants for the past 13 years .they always meet my expectation.
DuraKap Industrial Pants
The material is a good sturdy type and will last a long time. The unhemmed inseam was not as long as they indicated and are too short for me.
true to size
I like the two pockets on back of pants. Nice depth to carry my utlility knife. a pen and marker for my work. Front pockets are good depth too. True to size. I ordered this pair along with elastic side pants and I like this pair better. Quality of material is of mid weight feel. My job is pretty physical and the pants are really comfortable. Waistband doesn't dig into waist. I'd buy again.

Upon returning to Anchorage, My girlfriend and I decided to branch off and explore downtown Anchorage; which consisted of 2-3 blocks of gift shops and restaurants; after spending the afternoon shopping and exploring, it was time to head to the airport and catch a flight back to Phoenix. It was sad to leave, but hopefully I will have another opportunity to visit this beautiful city.

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
When we recall the Battle of Endor from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, we usually think of Han Solo, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, Admiral Ackbar and those damnable Ewoks as its heroes. However, cartoonist Daniel Warren Johnson knows who really turned the tide for the Alliance, delivering an unlikely victory against the Empire: the pilot who flew his A-wing Fighter into the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer Executor.
Johnson pays tribute to that pilot, Arvel Crynyd, in a touching, wordless fan comic called "Green Leader."
Buzzkill writer Donny Cates is teaming with Space-Mullet cartoonist Daniel Warren Johnson and colorist Lauren Affe for Ghost Fleet, a 12-issue series the Dark Horse teases will blend big rigs and conspiracies.
Arriving Nov. 5, the action series centers on Ghost Fleet, the go-to trucking service for transporting the world's most valuable, most dangerous and most secretive cargo. But when one driver takes a peek at his payload, his life is changed forever.
