Pan's LabyrinthDirector: Guillermo del Toro
Cast: Ariadna Gil, Ivana Baquero, Sergi López
View All Available Formats & Editions
Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro returns to the phantasmagorical cinema that defined such early fare as Cronos and The Devil's Backbone with this haunting fantasy-drama set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War and detailing the strange journeys of an imaginative young girl who may be the mythical princess of an underground kingdom. Her mother, Carmen (Ariadna Gil), recently remarried to sadistic army captain Vidal (Sergi López) and soon to bear the cruel military man's child, shy young Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) is forced to entertain herself as her recently-formed family settles into their new home nestled deep in the Spanish countryside. As Ofelia's bed-ridden mother lies immobilized in anticipation of her forthcoming child and her high-ranking stepfather remains determined to fulfill the orders of General Francisco Franco to crush a nearby guerilla uprising, the young girl soon ventures into an elaborate stone labyrinth presided over by the mythical faun Pan (Doug Jones). Convinced by Pan that she is the lost princess of legend and that in order to return to her underground home she must complete a trio of life-threatening tasks, Ofelia sets out to reclaim her kingdom and return to her grieving father as Vidal's housekeeper Mercedes (Maribel Verdú) and doctor (Alex Angulo) plot secretly on the surface to keep the revolution alive.

PAN'S LABYRINTH is a mystery cloaked in the garb of a fairy tale for adults. It is an examination of the cruelty of the Civil War in Spain as Franco assumed prominence and the extent to which some people would resist or escape: one of those means of escape just happens to be fantasy. Writer/Director Guillermo del Toro proves his potential as one of the more important experimental filmmakers with this haunting, mesmerizing tale of a young girl's ability to cope with the world into which she is plunged. Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) is the eleven year old daughter of Carmen (Adriana Gil) whom we first meet as the mother and daughter move to the deserted mill to live with Carmen's sadistic and brutal new husband, Falangist Capitán Vidal (Sergi López). Carmen is pregnant with Vidal's child and upon her arrival she is ordered to bed attended by the housekeeper Mercedes (Maribel Verdú). Ofelia is frightened by Vidal and his cruel world and by the deteriorating condition of her very pregnant mother and follows a strange insect that leads her to a secret opening into a labyrinth. Her curiosity and desperation to find a better place leads to her discovery of an entirely different world beneath the ground, a world run by the Faun (Doug Jones) who gives Ofelia three tasks that will assist her in making her world above ground a better place. Ofelia must choose between the ever increasing terror surrounding her new home with Vidal and his heinous behavior and overcome the fear of the grotesque but fascinating world of Pan's Labyrinth: the story ends with the manner in which a child must face the realities of the failure of the adult world and find successful solutions - whether those solutions be reality or fantasy. Guillermo del Toro has chosen a superb cast of actors, extraordinary visual effects technicians, cinematographer Guillermo Navarro and music composer Javier Navarrete to create this magical tale. The film becomes one of the finest examples of the use of fantasy in an historical setting. It is bound to become a classic. Grady Harp
This is one of my favorite movies, so some of the reviews surprised me. A few people really hated this movie. I suppose they did not like it, because it is a little bit "dark". I considered it beautiful, but sad. Now, it is a bit violent, but it is not as bad as a horror film. I really do not like scary movies! But I could handle this just fine. It does fit the way fairy tales used to be - dark and disturbing. Now, like I said, I do not like scary movies. But I can handle reading things like Edgar Allan Poe. I guess it is a bit like that. Dark, but not like a true horror film. If you like watching movies like "dude wheres my car" or think "honey boo boo" is talented, you likely will not like this movie.
not for kids, but a great fantasy film
Great plot. Great performances. Great music. Del Toro's best. This wonderful story has no flaws. A fairytale as they used to be originally: dark and violent. Will make you think and want to see it again and again. Just wonderful.
A helpful hint: do whatever you have to do to get your hands on this movie. It is a startlingly beautiful piece full of exceptional fantasy and brutal violence.
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
The hype about this movie (mainly "it will change the way you view the world", which is not true at all) turned me off before actually seeing it, so I wasn't expecting much from this film. However, I was pleaantly surprised. I definitely don't agree with the claim that it's on the same level as Lord of the Rings. Think more C.S. Lewis and you'll get a more accurate picture. The background story set in Spain is engrossing and provides a nice background to the more fantastic scenes, which may or may not all be in the main character's imagination. Contrary to some reviews here, the effects were one of the best aspects of the film. I loved how the faun (for some reason called Pan in the title, though he's never called this in the film) was part man, part animal, part tree and part stone. Also, the monster with eyes in its hands (which, by the way, is taken straight from Japanese folklore, where it is called te-no-me) was one of the creepiest and best overall movie monster I've seen in years. The insect-fairies and the mysterious and evocative ruins were also nice touches. Overall, I don't think any aspect of this movie was lacking. While the hype is a bit misleading, it's definitely not your average movie and is well worth seeing.
Really enjoyed this although it was a little lengthy. A great combination of fantasy and gore. I was pleased with realist ending.
I saw this at the theatre and left completely amazed at the different types of feelings this movie evoked within me. It is an incredible film.
This movie had an overall good theme but I missed it because I got really disturbed by the violence.The movie trailers made it out to be a fantasy, childish fairytale, but it definitely wasn't.I definitely appreciated it though and its overall goal,so that's why I would recommend it.Not for the queasy.
I head read about this movie and waited for its US theater release and it was every bit as amazing as I had hoped. The film is in subtitles, which I don't mind, but some people can't get past that for some reason. The story is great and the visuals are amazing.
This was one of the best movies i've seen. It's true that it is extremely violent, so don't make the mistake of taking young children to see it it's not a fairy tale the way cinderella is. For those of you that are too trouble to read text on the screen you are being immature. Having to READ doesn't make a movie bad, and frankly i enjoy subtitled movies better than when they are ridiculously dubbed. The movie isn't supposed to be a fairy tale, it's about how the girl escapes the violence of the real world during a time of war by going into a fairy-tale like world "it's unclear if it's real or imagination". One of the points is the comparison of which is worse. The real world is at times just as bad as some of the monsters or horrors of the fairy tale world. Anyway, if you think LORD OF THE RINGS was good, this tops it by a couple thousand miles. Don't go and see bad movies like eragon, or other nerdish things.
Want to see a great movie? Check out Pan's Labyrinth! As close to perfect as a movie gets (acting, cinematography, score, screenplay, direction,tone). You'll never forget it and you'll be thinking about it for weeks after your first viewing.
The Movie Has To Be One Of My Favorites Of The Past Couple Of Years. The Only Problem I Had With It Was That It Was In Spanish with English Sub-titles. But Overall It Is For Any Fantasy Fan!!!!!!!!!
This is by far an outstanding film!
I wasn't sure how I would like a movie with subtitles, but the story seemed to tell itself, I actually hardly noticed it was in Spanish! It was morbid and a bit gory at times, but it was a great story! I enjoyed this film very much and will recommend it to others! Even if that thing with the eyes in its hands kinda creeped me out...
Two words...Most Triumphant!
Pan's Labyrinth is a philisophical look at how the wonder of a child is used to escape the harsh reality surounding her. Although some may think it is a little childish, it is not a kids movie. Of course it is a little childish, the imagination of a child IS childish. Look back at the big picture and you will see adults fighting for no good reason, every one caught up in something that has no real purpose, and one child who is looking (and finding) a little more in life. It will make you question how you approach your days.
This movie is not what I expected but beyond. Great story line, costumes, setting, characters and more....This movie is worth adding to your collection especially if you like mythical creatures, fairy tales and so on.

I want to port some existing j2se libraries (e.g. Apache Compression libs) to use for Blackberry development, but there is a catch (and not just one).
First, most java libs extensively use j2se collections and data types that are typically missing on j2me platforms — but that's theoretically solvable thanks to open-source j2se api implementations like Apache Harmony. The bigger problem is that, it seems, Blackberry JDK is based on java 1.4, so any code that uses generics and other 1.5 features, like Enums, is not effortlessly compilable on Blackberry.
Which raises an interesting question of whether there are any existing tools or projects out there that would do automatic 1.5->1.4 conversion, while supporting j2me-bastardized bytecode :)
One project I was able to find is Retroweaver, but I'm not quite sure how active that project is.
I'm sure the problem of 1.5->1.4 automatic conversion isn't unique -- so does anybody have any experience with it?

My Mum had a wonderful stay at Cindi's Art Retreat. The location is outstanding, with Gordon's Bay a stone's throw away. The house is lovely and peaceful, and a real oasis in the heart of Clovelly. The city is a half hour bus journey away and all the Eastern beaches are on your doorstep. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone. Happy New Year!
The reservation was canceled 67 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
This delightfully compact accommodation provides a peaceful location in a very friendly neighbourhood. Our stay was for 6 weeks and we found it to provide all that we needed to be comfortable although we did on occasion miss having a dining table! The kitchen is tiny and therefore really easy to keep clean! It provides an array of condiments as well as a good range of utensils and crockery fit for a domestic goddess.... The central living space is cozy and cheerful. We were grateful for the heater, at the start and end of day, but found it tricky to maintain an ambient temperature at these times - we got used to turning it on and off and it wasn't a hardship. The range of lighting is a great addition and we regularly used the softer standard lamps and table lamps to brighten the rooms. The Wifi worked like a dream as did the TV and DVD and all the appliances. In the bedroom there is ample clean storage space and the bed itself sports good quality linen which is particularly welcome if like us you have just arrived from a 14 hour flight! We did need to purchase adaptors for our european computers as we forgot to pack them but a very friendly neighbour offered to drive us to the hardware store so that we could buy them. This friendliness is evident throughout the community and you can easily get to know the locals at the Clovelly shops and cafes etc. The bathroom is spotless and very airy and the shower is a dream.... The laundry facilities work well with a washing machine and outside drying facility as well as a tumble drier for the odd rainy day! The iron and ironing board do what they are supposed to - which really is the story for Cindi's place. There is a wealth of information provided about the unit itsef and also the surrounding area. Bus stops are just 5 minutes away and buses run frequently to the centre - it takes about 40 minutes to get to the Opera House) and to Bondi ( taking about 20 minutes). On the doorstep there are amazing coastal walks and beaches which are breathtaking and revitalising - a photographer's paradise. From selecting and booking the trip through to our leaving the unit Cindi provided excellent information, guidance and assistance and I thoroughly recommend her as a host and her Coast Walk Art Retreat as an experience not to be missed!
Cindi was the best host; warm, welcoming and very helpful. Not only did she send us bus routes but also went out of her way to send a picture of the entrance to help us determine suitability for my husband who has a physical handicap. The weather was cold and rainy for much of our stay so the fabulous gas heater was very welcome and did a great job of heating the whole apartment. Despite the weather we were able to enjoy the ocean walk on several occasions. The apartment was very comfortable for two people and we were able to have our son stay over on two Saturdays.
Wonderful stay! Great location just 5 min walk from Clovelly Beach and from 2 scuba dive spots (also good fro sknorkeling): Gordon's Bay and Shark Point (very beautiful, no shark). 5 min walk to a bus stop to Central station. Very peaceful and airy area. Friendly neighbours. Free parking in the street. We spent one month, 2 adults and 2 toddlers, so it was a bit small for 4 for a long stay. Please note that there is no door between the living room and the bedroom, and that the table in the living room is a coffee table (large one). Otherwise other important things to know are in the listing and on other comments. Cindy always answered quickly and efficiently our questions. We strongly recommend!
Location of this apartment is second to none, coastal walks, snorkeling area's excellent. Superb bus routes into the city, Bondi and other local beaches. Found that Coogee was less than 10 minutes walk away for night life and restruarnts.
We stayed for 3.5 weeks. The apartment is cosy and very well located. We had a very nice time! Thank you Cindi
Cindis was a great little place. Quiet location, nice fittings, it was a pleasure and wouldnt hesitate to stay again.
Lovely small clean quiet apartment, away from the bustle of teh city but easily access tot he city. Off Street parking was not a problem. Easy access to the cliff/beach walk. Due to its ground floor location there is no view and little sun light. Apartment was well stocked and bathroom was top grade. WiFi worked great but don't expect much on TV. Perfect for 2 adult and a child, any more would be a stretch. Very enjoyable stay, I could recommend to everyone.
The name "Art Retreat" is exactly what it is - professionally designed decor that radiates not only warmth and happy feelings, but as soon as you step in the unit, you know the owner wants your stay to be as comfortable as possible... hospitality down to every detail. Will definitely recommend your place to friends.
Reviews From Hosts
We've had the pleasure of having Cindi as our guest for several months. We had never done a long-term rental like this, and we were so happy to offer it to Cindi. She is easy-going, intelligent, funny and considerate. As an airbnb host herself, she understands how to be a good guest, and always keeps us updated on what she needs (which has been almost nothing over the past three months. We will be sad to see her go.
Cindi was a great guest. I highly recommend her to any other host on airbnb. She left the apartment in exactly the same condition and was very friendly and pleasant to communicate with leading up to, and during, her stay. Book her now!

Cindi is a positive, generous and outgoing person. She fits in well with everyone. Cindi has a lovely demeanor that lets people be comfortable and relaxed around her. She also has a fantastic home and I'm sure she'll make sure her guests are taken cared of by making her home a cozy home away from home. Cindi is a great person and I can definitely vouch for that!
Clever, talented and beautiful this woman is and a great friend to boot. Walking through life we all need someone with whom we can trust and Cindi is one of those people. She treats all the universe with fairness and clear eyes. A true gem.

Mike Baggetta: Spectre
Mike Baggetta has produced a number of quality recordings over the years yet Spectre may be his most compelling project to date. The guitarist delves into some live" sound processing which include an array of delicate textures, sampling and loops undoubtedly influenced by ECM recording artist David Torn who mastered this release. Though the set ventures into mysterious soundscapes they're rooted in melodicism which equally underscores the inventiveness of Baggetta's trio with bassist Jerome Harris and drummer ...read more

Return consists of nine never-before-released concert performances recorded during the band's heyday in 1965-66 including the first recording of Theo Loevendie's forward-looking Finch Eye."

School Programs & Partnerships
In the spirit of Noguchi's artistic vision, education programs at The Noguchi Museum encourage exploration and discovery while honoring diversity, thereby affirming the value of each individual's unique interpretations.
School Visits
School tours at The Noguchi Museum are available to students in grades Pre-K through 12, and are inquiry-based, exploratory experiences. Tours last approximately one hour, and stop at 3-5 works of art. Additionally, The Noguchi Museum offers Tour and Workshop Programs, in which students visit the galleries and participate in a related hands-on art making workshop.
All tours are designed to promote careful observation and critical thinking, skills essential in the arts as well as across the curriculum. In addition, these programs challenge students to share ideas and listen closely to others. Our tours support both New York State and Common Core Standards. To find out more and access a letter to share with your school's adminstration please click here.
Cost and Reservation Information
Please plan to schedule your visit 4-6 weeks in advance as time slots are limited. Please note, the Museum does not allow outside lecturers; teachers who opt to book a group visit without a guided tour may give their students information or activities that students can do independently or in pairs during their visit. This option is available to high school students only.
Reservations are required for all groups. The maximum size for a school group is 30 students or one class. A one-time visit to the Museum is free for all New York City public school classes. For independent schools, or those outside of New York City, the fee for a guided tour is $150 per class of up to 30 students. Up to five adults may accompany the group free of charge. Groups interested in participating in a hands-on art making workshop following their guided tours may do so for an additional fee of $75 per class (up to 30 students). For more information please email email@example.com or call 718.204.7088, extension 203.
To book a tour or visit for your class, please click here.
Add a Pre-visit or a Post-visit workshop with a Noguchi Educator
A Noguchi Educator can come to your classroom before a Museum visit to prepare students, or after your visit to extend the art experience. Pre- and post-visits are planned by educators in response to the tour theme selected, and the information you share about your students and their classroom curriculum.
Pre- and post-visits are 45 minutes. The cost for each is $100 for one class, $150 for two classes (45 minutes per class). Pre- and post-visits must be booked at the same time as your tour. For more information please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 718.204.7088, extension 203.
Available Tour Themes and Tour Goals
When booking a tour, we ask that teachers select one theme, and identify up to three goals for their tour. These selections help guide educators in planning and facilitating an experience for your students.
All of our tours include approximately three stops, with a discussion at each stop. While we appreciate that often visitors like to see as much of the Museum as possible, we feel it is more important to offer students the opportunity for careful looking and critical thinking, in a context of extended conversation around each object.
The Artist's Choices: Ideas and Inspiration (all grades)
Throughout his career, Isamu Noguchi drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including nature, literature, travel, and the work of his peers. This tour focuses on the relationship between these interests and the processes Noguchi used to create artworks in materials such as paper, clay, stone, wood, and metal.
What is Sculpture? (all grades)
Noguchi wrote, "I am ever mindful of the notion that to discover or rediscover the true meaning of sculpture, the experience of sculpture has to be expanded." Younger students on this tour explore the concept of sculpture as a three dimensional object. Older students consider a wider range of possibilities, looking at objects and enviroments not traditionally considered "sculpture".
Click here to download the Educator Guide that accompanies this tour.
Mining Art: Basalt, Granite, Marble (all grades)
Students look at the sculptures of Isamu Noguchi through the lens of geology. They learn about the different natural properties of the materials Noguchi worked with while exploring the differences between nature's marks and the artist's mark on stone.
Click here to download the Educator Guide that accompanies this tour.
Abstraction (grades 3-12)
Many of Noguchi's abstract pieces have deep symbolic resonances. Students will consider how abstration can convey meaning in art.
Click here to download the Educator Guide that accompanies this tour.
Sculpted Space (grades 5-12)
Noguchi considered his garden a "total sculptural concept", and believed that sculpture was all around us- an idea evidenced in his dance sets, playground design, and public spaces. In this tour, students examine space as sculpture, through the Museum itself as well as related projects on view.
A Closer Look (grades 9-12)
Although the average museum visitor spend two seconds in front of a work of art, understanding a work of art takes much longer. This tour offers high school students the opportunity to experience how an artwork unfolds through extended conversation. After approximately 40 minutes discussing a single work of art, students are given time and an assignment to explore the Museum on their own.

The San Juan Islands Sea Kayak expedition takes place in Washington State's venerated San Juan Islands. Over the first few days of the expedition, you and your patrol will learn foundational kayaking skills which will then put into practice paddling in and around the 400 islands and outcrops which make up the San Juan's. These waters are teeming with wildlife including seals, sea lions, eagles, and whales, including gray whales as well as three resident Orca pods. Your patrol will be challenged with navigating and paddling through the inland water ways, moving your camp from island to island through sometimes substantial navigation challenges, currents and waves.
San Juan Islands, Washington – Nestled between Vancouver Island and the North Cascades, the San Juan Islands are a unique coastal cruising ground with large expanses of pristine water and mountain scenery. During your journey, you will encounter coastlines with a combination of sandy and rocky beaches, shallow and deep harbors, serene and reef-studded bays. Knotty, twisted madrona trees grow along much of the shorelines while evergreen fir and pine forests cover large inland areas. Sightings of harbor seals, porpoises and eagles are common as well as the occasional glimpse of an Orca whale. The islands get less average rainfall than the surrounding area due to the rain-shadow effect of the Olympic Mountains. Summertime high temperatures are around 70 degrees Fahrenheit while lows could be in the 40's.

The Dark Lord suddenly jerked back as a strong power unleashed itself over Ossus. He could feel it well. Well enought that a pain rushed throught his chest like an old, rusty knife. He slumped back but placed his foot down so he wouldn't fall the whole way. He grunted and looked at Charna before rushing out with a simple "Take over" as his last words. At that instance, the Colonel followed his Lord out while the captain of the ship walked to Charna to inform her of the Ragnarok's travel to Ossus.
Tepe walked swiftly to a small, private room and set himself down with his back to the small window showing the planet Kamino and the fight going on around it. He fell into a deep meditation.

|"The Drinky Crow Show" airs Sundays on Adult Swim
Tony Millionaire is a cartoonist, illustrator and author whoâs best known for his popular nationally syndicated weekly comics strip, âMaakies,â for which he has earned multiple Harvey and Eisner awards; as well as graphic novels including Dark Horseâs âSock Monkey.â Now, along with writer/co-executive producer Eric Kaplan (âFuturama,â âLate Show with David Lettermanâ), Millionaire is bringing his award-winning comics strip to Cartoon Networkâs Adult Swim under the name of âThe Drinky Crow Show.â
The new series, which premiered last weekend, follows the dark, comic misadventures of popular âMaakiesâ characters Uncle Gabby and Drinky Crow, who is a depressed, tormented, romantic crow that seeks to kill himself either through alcohol or bullets. Uncle Gabby is an overweight, drunken monkey sailor who devotes his life to sleeping, eating, drinking and defecation. Together, the two cause mischief and hilarity whereever they go.
CBR News spoke to Tony Millionaire about his new show, working with Adult Swim, working on âMaakies,â his graphic novels and his relationship with the rock band They Might Be Giants.
CBR: To begin with, can you talk about the genesis of bringing your âMaakiesâ characters from the comic strip to the television screen?
Tony Millionaire: Basically, I got a call from Nick Weidenfeld at Adult Swim who wanted to sit down and have a meeting about making a show. I had said to him, âYou know what, Iâve had sit-down meetings already so many times before about these things and it never works out.â And he said, âNo, no, no, Iâm really serious. If I want to sit down with you, it means I really want to try to get a show done.â So, we did.
|"The Drinky Crow Show" stars Uncle Gabby and Drinky Crow
We had Dino Stamatopoulos, who is now the voice of Drinky Crow, in line to actually produce it and then he got âMoral Orelâ as his own show. So we waited around for a long time, then Eric Kaplan came along. Eric is a TV writer/producer who has an animation company in Pennsylvania but lives here in Studio City and we started to make the show. We made the pilot, got it on the air, got a bunch of people to vote for it, and now weâre in the middle of starting season one.
Is it satisfying, seeing your comic strip become a cartoon on TV?
It is because when I saw the first tests for the show, I really didnât like it at all. But then I thought, I got to really make this look as much like the strip as possible. So we did a process where you take the CG models and then put the drawings on top of them. So that my drawing style, my actual drawing hand, is seen throughout the show. So you really see my drawings moving a lot.
How has it been working with Adult Swim? Do you feel that they are a good fit for your show?
Yes, itâs practically the only place I could go. My humor is kind of raunchy and there are a lot of newspapers that wonât even take it. It runs in alternative newsweeklies so itâs not really for kids. So yeah, Adult Swim is perfect for it.
Were there any adjustments that Adult Swim asked you to make in adapting your strip for television?
|Scene from "The Drinky Crow Show"
No. I called them up and I said, âDo you think we should tone down the humor a little bit, it is going to be on TV?â They said, âNo, no, no, make it more. Make it worse.â Thereâs a lot now that you can do, especially on late night TV, that you couldnât do before. So it looks kind of like a kids cartoon but itâs not at all.
Whatâs it been like working with Eric Kaplan?
Well, itâs been great. He completely understands and completely gets the humor of it. The thing is with television, itâs a lot different than writing a strip. When youâre writing a strip, you can do stuff that is much more like the process of writing. In television, youâve got to think about what the actors are going to do, what the motion of it is going to be like and how that is going to affect it. So you canât write long sentences of prose because then if an actress says them, it just doesnât sound right. It sounds like itâs going on and on and it gets dull. So you got to be able to shorten it down and then have things actually happen, rather than words explaining whatâs going to happen. Which actually describes the nature of comic strips too. When youâre writing a book everythingâs words, when youâre writing a comic strip you got to really pair it down to the fewest words you can and then when youâre doing a TV show you can go even further.
What I did was sit with Eric and we just, for like a month, walked back and forth trying to figure out how we were going to bring it to TV and then I remember a time when he finally understood it. He goes, âOh, heâs drinking because heâs heart broken.â I said, âYeah exactly.â So thatâs when he read all the books and all the strips. He was able to then write scripts that were true to the characters and true to the strip. Then I can go back in with him and go through it and sort of straighten him out.
The alternative rock band They Might Be Giants perform the showâs theme song. Youâve worked with them in the past on other projects; can you talk about your relationship with the band?
|Scene from "The Drinky Crow Show"
Yeah, I knew those guys John [Linnel] and John [Flansburgh] from way back in, I think, the â80s or early â90s when I was living in Brooklyn. It was the early â90s, I guess, and my friend Brian lived in a house with John Linnel. So at partyâs weâd meet together and all the sudden they started becoming more famous. Although we were living in Brooklyn and there were a lot of artists around, they were very nice about hiring people that they knew to do T-shirts and stuff for them.
I remember the first T-shirt I did for them had a picture of Drinky Crow on it, so it must have been the â90s. Then after a while they asked me to do an album cover, which I did for the front, back and the booklet inside. And just from over the years, Iâve known them such a long time that when somebody said what are we going to do about the theme song, I said, âWeâll call John and John.â So I called them up. They sent us five or six different theme songs because theyâre so prolific.
Which characters from âMaakiesâ can fans expect to see on the show, and are they going to be any different than they are in the weekly comic strip?
Well, Drinky Crow will always be Drinky. Uncle Gabby, heâs like the goofy one, the one thatâs always chasing after woman or trying to invent crazy new things. Becky Thrye (âWeedsâ) plays The Captainâs Daughter and sheâs in it quite a bit. We needed a real strong villain so I used the French Alligators even more on the show than I do in the strip. Because when you want to get something going with the cartoon, you want to get some blood going. So itâs good to get some of those fights going like I do in the strip.
|Scene from "The Drinky Crow Show"
The setting of your comic strip has been described as being sort of 18th century nautical. How would you describe the setting yourself and what was your inspiration for it?
Yeah, it has been described as 18th century nautical, I consider it 19th century nautical but thatâs just a matter of numbers. Itâs also that even though the show looks like it takes place at that time, it really doesnât. Itâs just a setting so that I can do very modern humor and stories. If someoneâs talking into the telephone, of course itâs going to be a telephone with a hand crank on it. Or if Iâm going to make a joke about an ATM, Iâve got one where there are rivets all along the side of it and thereâs steam coming out the top of it. If Iâm going to have a car, there were no cars in the 19th century so I just draw like a â1920s car. In other words I want it to look old fashion, like old comics did but if I need an object Iâll just draw an antique one.
Have you been surprised by the success and longevity of âMaakies,â and what do you attribute that to?
I attribute it to my incredible genus and talent. [laughs] The thing about the strip is that it is very personal to me. Iâm really glad that I donât have any editors trying to steer it in any direction at all and Iâve always been very fortunate with that. Thatâs one of the advantages of working with alterative weekly newspapers. Basically, the only editing I get is, âWhereâs the strip? Youâre an hour late!â So Iâm able to really do what I want to do and I really try to be as honest as I can with it. If anyone makes a joke around me I usually write it down and people will say, âDonât steal that from me.â
Do you often draw from your own real life experiences?
Oh yeah, of course. When I lived in New York -- now I live in Pasadena because I have children -- but when I lived in New York, some of the days were pretty bleak. So the comedy really just came out of that sort of madness and depression of being a drunk in New York City. So I tapped at that as much as I could.
|Eric Kaplan and Tony Millionaire portraits
Which do you prefer, working on your weekly comic strip or your graphic novels and books?
Well, the âSock Monkeyâ books were actually something that I wanted to do so you could read them to kids, kind of. For âSock Monkey,â I took a lot of that sort of drinking and dirty humor out of it. But the good thing is that Iâve been working on three to four different things at a time, so I can switch off to whatever I feel like doing when I want.
The thing about the comic strip is that every Monday, Iâve got to sit down and draw it. I always wait âtill the last minute because I want to use the best possible joke or story that I can come up with.
As far as the books like âSock Monkey,â I will try to sketch out one or two pages during the day to pencil quickly. Then at night when the kids are in bed, I can sit down, turn on the lights, crack open a beer and just draw the inks. Because itâs very relaxing at night to sit here and stay up to two or three in the morning and just draw and ink.
Iâm working on a new book now too, which is the âBilly Hazelnutsâ book. Iâm working on book two right now and itâs pretty much the same deal. If Iâm in a Sock Monkey mood, Iâll write a Sock Monkey book or if Iâm in more of a rambunctious mood Iâll draw the Billy Hazelnuts books. Iâm also working on a childrenâs book that is extremely late but thatâs something else that I can pull out if Iâm in that mood.
What comics or other books have inspired and influenced your work?
|Scene from "The Drinky Crow Show"
I would say my biggest influence was those old comics from the 1920s like âPopeye,â âFelix the Catâ and âMutt and Jeff.â Then I started reading Patrick OâBrian. Since the â90s, Iâve read all twenty of them and then Iâve read them all again. I spent years reading nothing but Patrick OâBrian books so I could really get down the feeling of being on a ship with a cannon pointed at you, you know.
Finally, what would you tell someone whoâs not familiar with the comic strip or your work to interest them in checking out âThe Drinky Crow Show?â
If you like stories about drunken crows and singing monkeys riding around on ships, chopping each other in half with swords, then you are going to love this show.
âThe Drinky the Crow Showâ airs on Sunday nights on Cartoon Networkâs Adult Swim.

Each month, we'll highlight one new trip review submitted by an IndependentTraveler.com reader. If your review is featured, you'll win an IndependentTraveler.com logo item!
In this month's featured review, reader Cami-sphere goes on a trekking adventure to the top of South America's Mount Roraima. "The plan today was to start out early to explore the summit closer to camp rather than hike to Triple Point where Guyana, Brazil and Venezuela meet," writes Cami-sphere. "As we headed to the scenic point, Marco identified indigenous plants and he walked us through an area where small quartz crystals lined the path. He also introduced us to a baby black toad he had spotted in one of the plants. Along the way, we greeted other trekkers with 'Feliz Ano Nuevo.' It was New Year's Day and we were all upbeat. As I walked I forgot what it took to get to this point and it came over me that this was a unique and very special experience — there's probably nowhere else on earth like this!"

Hi the company I work for is currently trying to move a Magento installation from one server to another - however, the product images are saved in folders alphabetically indexed folders - but with an added twist, some of the letters are the same but have a different case -
a, A, b, C, D, e, E, f, F, G, h, I
That being the case, when we try to drag those files down from FTP in order to move them, Windows does not honour the case sensitive distinction and we are losing several image folders. Is there a simple workaround for this issue? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Call in to speak with the host
The first part of the show had Linda offering an introduction to the creation formula and its process, followed by an explanation:
We focus on an intent, and bring that intent energy into the space of our heart/solar plexus chakra and hold it for at least 17 seconds in that deep stillness. Applied with appropriate action unfolds the equation to creation manifestation.
Sanat Kumara talked of three primary Universal Laws. All universal laws are based in a foundation of love.
Law of Purpose: commands/requires/gives the freedom to be in alignment to sacred self.
Law of Mirroring: Can seek help with this from Sanat Kumara and Archangel Uriel.
Law of Change: it is more than just a 'constant'; it is a universal truth. Learning to embrace change and not resisting it.
The closing of the show brought a quick comment on the Law of Unity/One. We are all one.

For example, if you were subscribed to pics, trees, and funny you could go to reddit.com/r/pics+trees+funny and do a search limited to those reddits.

Assume you are designing and implementing a new language from scratch, though you may freely borrow ideas from existing languages/implementations.
Question: If a programmer declares a string variable (assume strongly typed), how would you choose to store this variable in memory?
There are many use cases, but do you have a particular model that is superior in certain areas? Is your string mutable? Is it mutable, but only to a certain length that isn't the end of memory? Can I dynamically set the length, or can it only be done at compile time? Is it easy to access the 'nth' element? Does the string require a contiguous sector of memory? Could it be broken up into smaller strings?
Certain things to consider that programmers might like to do with your string: Calculating the length. Adding to the string. Extracting parts of the string (substrings). Applying Regex. Converting to a different value (number, boolean, etc)
EDIT: Clarifying what I mean.
If a user declares the following:
var Name : string
How would you choose, as the language designer, how to store this in RAM? What are the advantages and disadvantages of your method, etc.

What does "persuade you otherwise" mean exactly? Is it an idiom?
English Language & Usage Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for linguists, etymologists, and serious English language enthusiasts. Join them; it only takes a minute:
Sign up
Sign up
Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
I don't think so, but it sounds like something that might have sexual undertones. "May I persuade you otherwise" means roughly, "May I convince you to change your mind about this?" It's less wordy than the idiomatic 'change your mind', and it sounds more eloquent.
persuade you otherwise - to give an alternate option over something that is already discussed,
e.g Mr. X wants to buy a property in this region but the Realtor wishes to persuade him otherwise.

Hey, everyone. I did a search first, and found a few topics already about MarsEdit and 404's. The solution was to make sure the URL to xmlrpc.php was correct, but I've checked and double checked it (and it's correct).
Here's the error message I get:
Can't do get recent posts for flammable animals because the server reported an error. The server returned an unexpected response code: 404.
And when I look in the RPC console, here's what's in there:
Anyone have an idea what's going on?
Oh oh, almost forgot...the site is available at http://www.flammableanimals.com if you'd like to take a look. I changed the theme from K2 to the new 3 column one, since I thought that might be it...and that didn't do anything.

Freezing rain (FZRA) is well documented as a major weather hazard, producing damage to structures, the environment, and humans, and delaying various operations such as transportation. Assessing the risk of freezing rain events requires information for various areas of the nation about the frequency, duration, and intensity of these events along with the associated weather conditions that affect the damage caused by freezing rain. This includes temperatures (dry and wet bulb), the amount of precipitation, and winds during freezing rain. The purpose of this work was to develop a national and regional climatology of freezing rain events in the US for the period of 1928–2001 to addresses these conditions.

Hello Don,
Your plugin is one of the WP best search plugins.
But the latest version 0.3.26 has lost an important feature: All data fields can not be opened anymore when using the Data Types "Post Field" and "Custom Field".
Can you restore this important feature or is there a way to restore it by users?
Many thanks.

If your team is in the Major League baseball playoffs, it's an emotional time. It also is a time when the men on the field display their sky-high emotions. It does seem a bit strange that million-dollar-a-year players, young and old, can be so emotional in victory and defeat.
The season is long and it's no easy task to make the playoffs and to be a winner. The emotions the players show in the playoffs is a reminder that they still are boys at heart, engaged in a sport they love, and in victory and defeat they let their emotions be free. There is no holding back how they feel, especially in victories. They also display their emotions when they hit the ball for extra bases, when a pitcher prevails to get the last out and a victory, when there is a spectacular defensive play, when runs are scored and the crowds are just as emotional.

Vegan Black Bean Soup With Cilantro
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 1 hr 15 mins
Wow, this is one of the best soup recipes I've ever made! I got this from worldsoups.com and it's absolutely fantastic. I love having this with locally made tortilla chips as opposed to bread or crackers.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 cups water (at least)
- 1 cup dried black beans, soaked for 1-2 days, rinsed and drained
- 4 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 3 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1 1⁄2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup sun-dried tomato, rehydrated
- 1⁄3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- sea salt
- In a large soup pot, bring water, beans, and bay leaves to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the beans are tender, about 1 hour.
- In a pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil and add cumin seeds, garlic, onions, and carrots. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Remove the bay leaves from the beans. Add the sautéed vegetables to the beans and add cauliflower, bell pepper, and sun-dried tomatoes. Add more water if needed, to cover by at least 1 inch. Continue to simmer for around 20 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender.
- Stir in cilantro and salt to taste.
- Either leave the soup chunky, or use an immersion blender (or a couple cups of soup in a blender) and purée until desired consistency.

I cooked this for my son and me. He usually gulps down any soup I put in front of him, but both of us really disliked this soup. I was really disappointed with it. Flavor-wise it just wasn't exciting, despite the interesting ingredients.
Another 5 stars for this fabulous soup! I especially love the richness of the sundried tomatoes. I did omit the cilantro, which isn't my favorite herb. As the last reviewer suggested, I made it with your pull-apart garlic bread. A meal to be repeated many times! Thank you!
This soup was outstanding! Full-bodied and full flavored...this soup was very good. It smells so nice while cooking and almost everyone went back for seconds. I will happily make this again and again. PAC 2007. Thanks, tendollarwine. Keep those recipes coming. (:

MACON, Ga. (AP) - Bibb County prosecutors are seeking the death
penalty against two people accused of setting a fire that killed
two young boys.
Anthony Braswell is accused of pouring gasoline from a plastic sports drink bottle July 14 onto the porch of a house whose occupants had been involved earlier in a neighborhood fight.
The 36-year-old Brasell and 34-year-old Shauntrice Murry, who
allegedly accompanied him, are both charged with felony murder and
arson in the deaths of 2-year-old Hezekiah Harris and 4-year-old
Tydarious Harris.
Braswell and Murry were indicted by a Bibb County grand jury in
November. A third person, 27-year-old Latoshia Yvette Wyche, also
was arrested on arson and murder charges but has not been indicted.

Disce aut discede
Disce aut Discede (Latin "Learn or Leave") is a phrase used as the motto of many institutions and schools.
Motto at Educational Institutions[edit]
Disce aut discede is the motto at King's School, Rochester, the second oldest school in the world est 604 AD.
The Royal College, Colombo in Sri Lanka also uses the same motto. The exact author or date the motto was adapted by the Royal is unknown. The first mention of the motto was during the tenure of Principal Todd (1871-1878) who constantly reminded the dullards that they must learn or go. Since then the motto is associated with the school's high educational standard.
It is also the motto of Gosfield Independent School in Essex, England, and the variation "Aut Disce, Aut Discede" ("Either Learn or Leave") is the motto of Hutton Grammar School in Preston, Lancashire. It was also for many years the motto of Middlesbrough High School.
"Disce aut Discede" is also the motto of Cornwall College in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The coat of arms of the University of Manchester Surgical Society contains the motto "disce aut discede".
An old painting at Winchester College contains an expanded version in the form of a hexameter: "Aut disce, aut discede; manet sors tertia, caedi" ("Either learn or leave: there remains a third fate, being beaten", or more vulgarly "learn, leave or be licked".) "Aut disce" is surmounted by a bishop's mitre; "aut discede" by a sword and an inkpot, to denote secular professions; the last part of the verse by a rod.
Motto in Fiction[edit]
"Aut disce aut discede" appears as the motto of the fictitious Roosevelt High School, which April O'Neal attends in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 TV series.
"Disce aut discede" is what the teacher says his pupil in The Man Without a Face, US 1993

I posted yesterday that I wasn't seeing pictures. Now I can't see ANYTHING. I'm trying to determine if this is a problem with my software, or with my hosting company. They recently did a server switchover. I get the following message when I try to connect:
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at 22.214.171.124. This could mean your host's database server is down.
I've tried pinging that server and it times out. So, is my install corrupted, or is this my provider's fault?

I recently purchased a extended warranty because the last time I bought a computer, I only had the factory warranty, and it kept breaking down. This time I bought a laptop computer, and I hope that I won't be needing the warranty any time soon. If you don't know how to fix computers, then you should buy an extended warranty.
Obviously you need some sort of service plan in case your expensive machine gets sick. This plan is a good value for the price. Only thing I didn't like is that there is no "piece of paper" or walmart marked receipt of purchase other than the email saying I actually brought a warranty. I hope I will have no troubles should I need to use the warranty in the future.
This is a decent deal if you can live without your computer for a couple weeks when it goes down. Notice that it is Depot service and has to be mailed in and back. travel time alone is at least 2 days. for the major manufacturer's it is a 10-14 day turn around.
Good price for an extended warranty-worth the little extra for piece of mind
I hope this warrenty will never be used but I'm glad I got it
The price for the extend service very good.

Brief Synopsis
The authors report their observations of the different ways combatant commanders-in-chief (CINCs) produce a strategy document, and suggest that new joint doctrine is needed to bring a degree of regularity and orderliness to the CINCs' strategic planning process. The CINCs' Strategies: The Combatant Command Process provides a brief look at the CINCs' strategy objectives and concepts in order to place the planning process in context. The focus of the study, however, is on the process itself as it exists and could be further developed. With our National Security and National Military Strategies so clearly directed toward shaping the international environment, effectively responding to crises, and preparing for major theater warfare and smaller-scale operations, the unified actions of our joint forces can be greatly enhanced by joint doctrine which guides military planning for the strategic level of war.

Leaked DC Universe Solicitations for October Feature "Teen Titans," "Batman Beyond" & More
Comic Books
In this feature I spotlight responses that amuse me for whatever reason by Mort Weisinger to letters fans wrote in to the Superman family of titles back in the 1950s and 1960s. Here is an archive of past installments.
In this latest installment, we examine a debate in the Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane letters column over whether Superman should spank Lois Lane. Yes, this is a real thing that happened in this reality.
Recently, I did a bit on how spankings seem to pop up now and then in superhero comics. One of the examples was Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #14, where Lois comes up with a scheme to get stuck behind in Superman's Fortress of Solitude so she can prove to Superman that she can make it a home for the two of them. While there, she gets abused by one of Superman's robots…
Later, we learn that Superman knew of her plan all along and was just messing with her…
Not cool, Superman, not cool.
Or IS it?
You see, a few issues later, in the letter column of Lois Lane #20, a reader wrote in to say that he felt that it was high time for Superman to give Lois Lane the spanking she so richly deserves…
The matter is settled, right? Wrong!
Four issues later (thereby extending the debate just barely into 1961), a new voice of dissent emerges!
Oh, comic book fans, never change!
I love how this is so similar to modern internet commenting, right down to the letter writer almost assuredly making up both the existence of the club and the results of their vote. I recently saw the most hilarious example of this type of thing the other week when someone on the CBR forums told this absurdly and obviously fake story of their children's negative reaction to the new Superman film.
Thanks to reader George B. for sending me a link about this from the great Pat Curley's Silver Age Comics site. I used Pat's scans of the letters because his copy of Lois Lane #24 is in better shape than mine. Thanks, guys!
If you search for "North Shore Superman Fan Club" you'll find that it's not just comics fans that have an interest in letters about spanking Lois. The blog is "adult" but this link http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VUJsDG7Zo84/ShjDRifeCNI/AAAAAAAAL9E/B4_mN0yQK58/s1600-h/SM28.jpg is nothing but scans of yet more letters apparently printed in Superman comics. I can barely believe DC printed the second one – was nothing inappropriate? was there some sort of mass grooming going on? – but according to http://www.comics.org/issue/16736/ there was a letter with that signature in Lois Lane #30.
It's hard to tell in that first letter… Is it signed Fr. Twill? FRIAR Twill? Perhaps from Our Lady of the Rosy Cheeks?
This is hysterical. Comics have come a long way… sort of. Female superheroes still fight in bikinis.
Can we get a link to the absurd comment you mentioned? I'm curious.
I second Mikey's request.
man, these comics were the coolest.
i cant stand modern lois lane with her addressing kent constantly as "smallvile".
yeah, these days with her obnoxious ways, she'd deserve it more than ever!!
Those two letters are the pinnacle of the entire Silver Age.
I fail to see what is "gentlemanly" about spanking by proxy.
Give us the link Brian
**I fail to see what is "gentlemanly" about spanking by proxy.**
I would suppose that what was NOT gentlemanly had nothing to do with deciding if she needed a spanking nor with seeing that it gets done.
I would suppose it has everything to do with not being the one doing it. A gentleman wouldn't touch a woman's bottom, unless he were her doctor or otherwise of an appropriate status to touch her person.
You think that's bad, try "Larraine Lertura"'s letter in Lois Lane #30
or "Sharon Bush" in #26, or "Betty Makohan" in #27
