text: Silicon Motion Technology Another stock that's trading very close to triggering a major breakout trade is Silicon Motion Technology ( SIMO), which designs, develops and markets high-performance, low-power semiconductor solutions for the multimedia consumer electronics market. This stock is off to a slow start so far in 2012, with shares down by over 20%. >>4 Tech Stocks to Trade (or Not) If you look at the chart for Silicon Motion Technology, you'll see that this stock is just starting to exploded higher today by around 9%, as shares rip back above its 50-day moving average of $15.46 a share. This is already an impressive move, but an even larger breakout for SIMO is quickly setting up here. This move today is pushing SIMO within range of taking out some near-term overhead resistance levels. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in SIMO if it can manage to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $16.57 to $17.07 share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 511,826 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then SIMO could explode to the upside and re-test or take out its next significant overhead resistance levels at $19 to $22.20 a share. One could look to buy SIMO off weakness as long as it's trending above its 50-day moving average of $15.46 a share with strong upside volume. One could also just buy off strength once SIMO clears $16.57 to $17.07 with volume and then simply use a stop that sits just below $16.57 a share. Prev 4 of 6 Next

best kinect game?
so far out of all the kinect games i've played, this is the best one yet in my opinion.
Yeah, just finished it and it was quite good. Sometimes the blocking was frustrating and didn't work but it had pretty good controls too...Interested to see how this ties in with future Fable titles!
Being somewhat new to the Kinect and all the games that uses that platform myself, I have to say that this game definitely is one of the best if not the best game on the Kinect so far.
The story was really fantastic. Even if you haven't played the previous Fable games or know much about the Fable universe, I think you'll still enjoy it as a standalone title. The themes in this story deal with fate, courage and a heroes reluctance to accept his destiny. I felt Gabriel as a character was relatable and human as someone who was a happy-go-lucky who always fantasized about being a hero like past fables that went on all kind of exciting adventures. I also appreciated his relationship with his horse, Seren, who he had a rich history with and loved very dearly.
The Kinect controls worked well for the most part (except for it failing to detect when you're blocking as someone else mentioned), and this is one of the few games that I can say that it was more immersive and enjoyable with the Kinect controls. In fact, I'd almost say that you could not be able to make a game like this with a traditional gamepad. The horse riding was fun at first, but felt a bit tedious near the end, and the magic mechanics felt pretty intuitive and fun.
Overall, a fantastic game in general and one that utilizes the Kinect in unique but enjoyable ways.
Best surprise game for sure. Fully expected it to suck.
Gunstringer is my favourite overall.
Best Kinect game is probably the first Dance Central.
good game, but horrible and broken controls, fire left and goes into upright corner all the time really frustrating no matter what setup,light or calibrate,
oh and the challenges gold medals are insane hard im finding out

Spoiling (Carefully) for a Fight
By MATT BAI
Published: November 23, 2003
In a green-and-beige hotel suite overlooking the Detroit River, John Edwards sits cross-legged, his back to the bleak Canadian vista, absently bouncing his stockinged foot. The day started so inspiringly, with Edwards, the North Carolina senator and presidential candidate, bounding up to the pulpits of two African-American churches and energizing crowds who'd never heard of him. (''The Lord is in this place!'' he shouted, to elated calls of ''Yes, sir!'') But now, a few hours later, here he is in Room 661 of the Renaissance Center Marriott, surrounded by a circle of half a dozen senior aides who are prepping him for tonight's Democratic debate. Nodding impatiently as he shifts in his chair, Edwards has the look of a man whose date has dragged him to a foreign film.
David Ginsberg, Edwards's communications director, tells him that the organizers of the debate, the Congressional Black Caucus and Fox News, have notified them that there won't be a discussion on foreign policy. This is good news for a campaign staked on domestic issues, but Edwards shakes his head warily. ''They'll never get through this thing without talking about Iraq,'' he says.
In the five previous debates, Edwards's strategy has been to avoid the verbal darts the other candidates have been aiming at one another. Instead of garnering headlines with one-liners, Edwards has been hoping to reach the voters watching at home with talk of his ''Real Solutions for America'' plan, a booklet full of policy proposals. The strategy isn't working out so well. Current polls have him close to the back of the pack, jockeying for position with Al Sharpton.
Ginsberg and other aides have recently begun prodding Edwards to be more aggressive, to make his presence felt, to mix it up in some of the testier exchanges. ''We all agree that you did really well with the last debate, getting engaged in the fight,'' Ginsberg says.
''And we've seen, in the last two weeks, Dean lumping his opponents all together and attacking them as Washington insiders,'' Ginsberg continues. ''You're not from Washington.''
Edwards sits up. ''This is something I want to know,'' he says. ''How long has Dean been in politics?'' Edwards himself has been in public life for only five years, and he can't quite understand how Dean has managed to cast him as just another Washington lifer.
''Since 1986, right?'' Ginsberg says, looking around.
Christina Reynolds, Edwards's research director, begins typing away on her laptop.
''What did he do before that?'' Edwards asks. ''Just practiced medicine? For how long? And where? At a hospital?''
Reynolds looks up from her computer. ''Exactly 20 years, that's how long he's been in politics, Senator.'' Edwards nods thoughtfully.
The advisers point out some other weak spots. Dick Gephardt has been linking Dean to Newt Gingrich because Dean once spoke in favor of raising the retirement age for entitlements. Perhaps Edwards should join in. ''That's absurd,'' Edwards says dismissively. ''No one believes he's like Gingrich. I think we just need to say that he wanted to limit the cost of Medicare, which is exactly what the Republicans wanted to do.''
Then there is Wesley Clark's war position; he has been criticized for a lack of clarity. Edwards shakes his head. ''I don't think I want to be in that,'' he says. ''I just don't really want to go there.''
Edwards seems chiefly concerned with how best to talk about his plan for the economy. On one hand, he has a series of proposals to create jobs. But he also likes to rail against the growing tax burden on working families.
''I just need to know whether you would rather have me hit jobs or work force,'' he tells the group. ''Because it's very hard to do both in 60 seconds.''
Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth, are partial to the jobs argument. His aides are more invested in the workers-versus-the-wealthy message -- which leaves Edwards groping for a clear answer.
Robert Gordon, a young policy expert with an almost freakish recall of arcane data on every conceivable subject, suggests that Edwards talk about wage-earners first. ''If you have enough time left, you could still talk about jobs,'' he says.
''There's just not enough time,'' Edwards replies. ''Sixty seconds is just not very much.'' He sighs dejectedly and rubs his head. ''What would you say about prescription drugs?'' he asks. ''I mean, if I had three minutes, I could crush it. But what can I say in 60 seconds?''
I have embedded myself, to use the latest Washington lingo, with Edwards's debate team because I want to know if presidential debates like this one, packed with so many candidates and coming so early in the primary season, are anything more than a pointless ritual. The Detroit showdown is, remarkably, the sixth full-scale debate among the Democratic hopefuls this year. While the debates do have the value of articulating a broad Democratic critique of the president's agenda, the campaign staffs have largely come to see them as black holes in the schedule, sucking candidates away from their chosen battlegrounds. The viewing audiences, meanwhile, have dwindled to the point at which, if this were some new reality series, it would have been canceled midseason.

Biological-mereological coincidence

This paper presents and defends an account of the coincidence of biological organisms with mereological sums of their material components. That is, an organism and the sum of its material components are distinct material objects existing in the same place at the same time. Instead of relying on historical or modal differences to show how such coincident entities are distinct, this paper argues that there is a class of physiological properties of biological organisms that their coincident mereological sums do not have. The account answers some of the most pressing objections to coincidence, for example the so-called "grounding problem", that material coincidence seems to require that coinciding objects have modal differences that do not supervene on any other properties.

i've had a sunday pass with forest city elm. for the past 2 years. (this will be my third)
let's be honest here, elk is for people who are looking for a quite, challenging mountain, and thats the bottom line.
AMAZING and relatively cheap food, spacious lodge. elk has great trails for the upper-intermediate. elk makes use of the ENTIRE mountain with its windy and steep trails. elk seems very secluded, and unlike sno- its great to see the open countryside, instead of the lights of the city. the terrain park offers a tow lift and average items. wvia has several ski days here + spring/fall/ festival and demo day the staff is really nice
lifts are slow, really slow. the good part of the mountain closes at 4... yeah, you heard me right. don't even bother night skiing here- thats what sno mountain is for. THE JUNIOR SEASON PASS COSTS $650.. what is that money going towards? obviously not improvements. elk is stuck in the 1980's of lifts and snowmaking- terrible cheap snow guns and a really low base depth. you can hike up the hills faster than you can ride the lift. harder trails are often icy- and the hardest trail has GRASS inbetween moguls on occasion. theres no nightlife here for anybody under 50, theres usually a country band playing, but if thats your thing, then put on a pair of jeans, get your straight skis, poles with leather straps, and head up to elk mountain before it is forced to close.
you'll have fun here, but if your expecting a vermont experience, dont bother. its a really fun mountain, but those who favor the terrain park won't have much fun. this mountain is way too overpriced- which is probably why most kids take their business to boulder and sno. this mountain is worth a try.

Director: Jace Rocker
Company: Pleasure Productions
Cast: Madison (I), Angela Summers, Malia, Britt Morgan, Marc Wallice, Tony Tedeschi, Cal Jammer, Joey Silvera, Jon Dough, Alicyn Sterling, Peter North, Tony Martino, Heather Hart, Tom Chapman, Rocco Siffredi, T.T. Boy
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Britt Morgan reprises her role as defense attorney Victoria Walsh, and is she in a heap of trouble! She's defending crime boss Giachino's (Rocco Siffredi) right-hand man, but Britt's partners (Joey Silvera, Peter North) want to get the goods on Rocco himself. Rocco, of course, wants to see his henchman convicted, so he orders his new assistant (Tony Tedeschi, in a fine characterization) to offer the lady a bribe. Britt doesn't accept it, but new lawyer Madison jumps at the chance. To say things get complicated from that point would be an understatement. The sex, on the other hand, is simple and generally excellent. Britt seduces Rocco in order to distract him. In fact, he's so distracted that he doesn't seem to notice that what started in his limo has been magically moved to his bedroom. Then, in a complete non-sequitur, Joey gives Malia a super discount on her divorce fee for a little roll on the couch. Then it's back to the action as Madison gives Tony a tongue-lashing as only the (pierced) Madison can. Of course, every lawyer drama needs a surprise witness (Angela Summers), who's detained by Peter - on Britt's orders - the only way he knows how: horizontally. Finally, Britt stops into a seedy tavern for a drink and winds up the center of at least four guys' attention, as she circle-jerks and b.j.'s each in turn, while the (uncredited) Heather Hart does a strip-tease.
Believe me, the story hangs together a lot more smoothly than it can be told, the characters are well-drawn and interesting, and there's enough good sex action to make this a pleasant evening's viewing.

Life Skills Training
Since it was introduced to 41 groups in the Eastern Cape in March 2010, formal and informal feedback on Life Skills Training modules 1 and 2 has been positive.
According to LST trainer Samella Mdlangathi, group members report a greater sense of confidence around financial matters and wider discussion about financial planning with family members, including their husbands. There is less reported reliance on loan sharks or mashonisas and, as a result, less stress around debt repayments. Samella's approach to the training is to give as much scope as possible to the daily problems and challenges facing members and build these into the sessions.
SaveAct life skills trainer Samella Mdlangathi takes an SCG through LST modules 1 and 2
SaveAct is currently piloting a new Monitoring and Evaluation framework in the Eastern Cape area, which aims to measure more precisely the impact of the work of the organization at a number of levels. A range of tools has been developed for the framework, which track changes in participants' living conditions, monitor any change in uses to which loans and share-outs are put, and solicit participants' views on whether loans and share-outs are meeting needs and contributing towards reducing poverty.
Although the latter tool has not yet been tested, early indications from the first two are that individual SCG members are showing signs of adapting their saving and spending behavior, with positive spin-offs for their personal and household finances.
Reflections of change 1: "No more mashonisas" – Overthrowing the tyranny of loan sharks
A story from Bopanang SCG, Zwelitsha area, Mount Fletcher
by Sharon Dell
"The members of the SCG are patient," said one woman. "They wait for you to pay back what you owe, not like the mashonisas who come to your house and try to get the money out of you."
Another participant pointed to a set of gold-rimmed drinking glasses purchased from informal traders for R650. She said it had since been established that they sell in the shops for R450. "So now we are much more careful," she said.
One participant reported that she had turned away from informal hawkers and traders who offer cash and goods on terms, and now chose to purchase items through the system of lay-bye at formal stores. In the lay-bye system, the item is only handed over to the purchaser once it has been paid for, thereby reducing the likelihood of indebtedness or non-payment. Thus, the LST had given her the wherewithal to explore and understand options around the purchasing of material items.
SCG members consistently reported that the LST training received so far had improved their ability to plan their shopping trips into the town of Matatiele more wisely and improve their discipline once in the town. "When I have lots of money, I can't seem to budget properly. When I have very little money, I manage to buy everything I need," explained one participant.
Members reported being distracted by the options presented by cooked and take-away food, clothes, furniture stores or luxury foodstuffs, with the result that they would be embarrassed at the supermarket till because they wouldn't have enough money to buy their goods.
As a result of the LST, which reflects on the benefits of bulk purchases, members reported that they are now better able to keep food on the table for the entire month.
And there are other signs of more financial stability. A participant who is undergoing training to be a pre-school teacher reported that, owing to better financial planning practices, she no longer needs to borrow money for transport to get her to and from her training sessions.
In what seems to be an indication of the wider positive effects of LST on households, one participant said she felt better able to communicate with her children about the way money was spent in the household, with some pleasing results. Another young participant, whose mother is also in the same SCG, said she and her mother sit down together to plan around expenses. "Now we always have an extra R200 in the household, in case of emergencies," she said.
When asked how the work of SaveAct could be improved, group member Nomonde Tsoananyana said it was difficult to find fault.
"So far, there's been nothing wrong with SaveAct," she said, but added that she wished the organisation "could assist members with small business projects". Her comments opened the door to others. One woman raised the need for someone to start a feeding scheme in the pre-school, while another expressed her desire to start a business centred around the production of eggs.
Reflections of Change 2: "SaveAct is like a husband" – Extending knowledge into the family.
A story from Bambisanani SCG in KwaSabaSaba near Matatiele
by Sharon Dell
When we arrive in the late afternoon, via a nerve-shattering gravel road, at the homestead of Cecilia Mantsane in KwaSabaSaba, only seven members of the Bambisanani SCG (pictured below) are present.
"The others are still at the pension payout," explains Mantsane. Earlier in the day, the nearby town of Matatiele had indeed been marked by long queues of people waiting patiently outside the various banking establishments, waiting to draw their monthly grant. Because of repeated robberies, banks have now replaced the government-facilitated pension payouts, explains LST trainer Samella Mdlangathi.
Many of those in the queues are pensioners or disabled people, who currently receive R1 080 (US$140). Others are mothers, waiting for the monthly child support grant of R250.
A return trip to town on one of the local taxi services (usually a bakkie) costs R18. Mdlangathi said it is common for people to return without their pension money owing to the slow pace of the queues. Many will then have to borrow R9 for the return journey.
In this context, SaveAct SCGs have been welcomed by ordinary people, mainly women. The elderly Mantsane, who moved to KwaSabaSaba from Mount Fletcher to get married, is now a widow but as a ward committee member she plays an active role in the life of her community and is chairwoman of her SCG. "SaveAct is like a husband to us," she said. "It's helping us to provide for our families; it's a solution to our problems."
Mantsane also commented on the strong relationship between group members. "We are like a family," she said. "And we are solving problems as a group. Often, there's quarrelling in communities. Others ask us why there's no quarrelling in our group and they see us doing things well. We know of seven people who want to become SCG members and they are trying to form another group. They've seen an improvement in our living conditions and want this in their own lives."
Members reported now being able to borrow money at reasonable rates to build new houses, plaster existing houses and service their debts. "Life is lighter; it feels like a weight has gone from my shoulders," said one member.
Some said they borrowed money in order to buy food and clothes, while another said she had used her loan to buy materials to intensify her sewing activities and was interested also in starting a broiler project. Mantsane said she had bought cement and her household was now making blocks to sell to others.
In response to the Life Skills Training, members said they had learnt how to buy in bulk, take advantage of specials and prioritise basic foodstuffs above luxury items. "I'm more strategic about which groceries I buy. The training has been an eye-opener. It's changed the way I do shopping," said one woman. Generally, members seem to think more carefully about money as a result of the training, as illustrated by the following: "I now save even the smallest amount. I think before spending even a little bit of money".
A comment from Mantsane illustrated the value of training in the household. "I've managed to talk to the children about how to prioritise our spending. Before, there was no peace in the family. The children were demanding things. Now peace reigns and the children understand. I'm passing on the knowledge. I involve everyone. We didn't understand before. Now we understand the needs of the family."
And the thirst for skills and knowledge seems to be strong: "We are looking forward to more training because we want to know more things, be confident. There is light. We can see where we are going," said a member.
Experience of Partners 1: Masangane HIV & AIDS Programme, interview: June 2010
Nokhanyo Mswewu (pictured below), co-ordinator of the Masangane HIV & Aids Programme, says her organisation has benefited in many ways through its partnership with SaveAct.
"We were very happy to become a part of SaveAct activities. We quickly saw that the savings activities offered a way to get more people into HIV/AIDS support groups."
"It works so very well. It's amazing to people because everyone benefits. Also, it's bringing people together, which is what Masangane means – to embrace."
The Masangane HIV & AIDS Programme was founded in 1999.The organisation operates through five branches in the Eastern Cape and has three focus areas: treatment for a limited number of critical patients, education and awareness and voluntary counselling and testing (VCT). The organisation is one of the LEAP project's early partners.Support group members responded well to the introduction of SCGs. By mid June, Masangane had established 45 SCGs, with seven awaiting training. Most of the members are unemployed, so SaveAct helps them to manage their money properly. Mswewu said SaveAct is also helping to boost VCT numbers. - SD.
Experience of Partners 2: Mount Fletcher Advice Centre, Interview: June 2010
Mount Fletcher Advice Centre (MFAC) staff members describe the fledgling relationship with SaveAct as a "fruitful journey", with a large part of its value being found in helping the MFAC to reach and interact with more communities. At the end of June, MFAC had facilitated membership in SCGs of 215 individuals and demand for the programme is high.
"SaveAct fits into MFAC like a hand into a glove", said MFAC Co-ordinator Thembinkosi Hlathi. "We try to respond directly to the needs of our communities. Domestic violence is a problem, but SCGs helps here too because the violence often arises out of desperation and frustration at poverty.
Field officer Tebogo Doda said one of the benefits of the SCGs was the fact that they provided MFAC with a "lasting and tangible link" with their communities. Doda said people are saying they are using the SCG loans to avoid indebtedness to micro-lenders, to improve their homes and buy shoes, cement, warm clothes and school uniforms. "Because of SaveAct, people are now starting to know how to live. It gives them tools to put food on the table."
But Doda also sees much larger benefits.
"This relationship is a foundation for many things. There are enormous possibilities for building trust and facilitating conflict resolution," he said.
The Mount Fletcher Advice Centre (MFAC) was founded in 1994. It runs various programmes, responding to needs on the ground. At present, these cohere around the themes of access to justice, human rights, gender equality, HIV/AIDS awareness and socio-economic development. In 2009, MFAC launched the Yomela (Be Strong) Victim Empowerment Project (YVEP) in response to high levels of abuse of women and children. The partnership with SaveAct started in February 2010. - SD.

SDCC: "Arrow" Cast & Crew Dish Out Details on Season 5
Infamous for its protests against the Church of Scientology and website attacks on Sony, Visa and, most recently, Bay Area Rapid Transit, the loose-knit hacker group Anonymous is perhaps best known for a single image that's become a symbol of its anarchic movement: The V for Vendetta-inspired Guy Fawkes mask worn by its members in public protests.
However, as The New York Times notes this morning, each of those masks purchased by the largely anti-government, anti-corporation activists puts money in the coffers of Time Warner, one of the world's largest media conglomerates. The parent company of DC Comics, which published the Alan Moore-David Lloyd miniseries in the United States, and Warner Bros., which released the film adaptation in 2006, owns the rights to the image, and receives a licensing fee for each mask sold.
And there are a lot sold, thanks largely to the Anonymous movement. Rubie's Costumes, the New York company that produces the masks, sells more than 100,000 a year; by comparison, it sells only about 5,000 of each of its other masks.
But it wasn't until recently that Rubie's knew why Guy Fawkes was a bestseller. "We just thought people liked the V for Vendetta movie," Rubie's executive Howard Beige tells the newspaper. "Then one morning I saw a picture of these protesters wearing the mask in an online news article. I quickly showed my sales manager."
Movies | National Public Radio commentator John Ridley critiques Hollywood for being even less diverse than the Big Two when it comes to diversity in lead characters, and demolishes their blame-the-audience theory that white people won't go to see a movie with a black lead by pointing to a study by Indiana University professor Andrew Weaver: "Weaver found that white audiences tended to be racially selective with regard to romantic movies, but not necessarily when it came to other genres. So, sorry, Hollywood. You can't blame it on the ticket buyers." [NPR]

Creators | Becky Cloonan talks about the joys and the hardships of being a full-time comics creator: "Comics are hard work. Comics are relentless. Comics will break your heart. Comics are monetarily unsatisfying. Comics don't offer much in terms of fortune and glory, but comics will give you complete freedom to tell the stories you want to tell, in ways unlike any other medium. Comics will pick you up after it knocks you down. Comics will dust you off and tell you it loves you. And you will look into its eyes and know it's true, that you love comics back." [Becky Cloonan: Comics or STFU]
The Last Lonely Saturday, by Uptight and The Clouds Above cartoonist Jordan Crane, is one of my favorite comics of all time. Why? You can find out if you read the entire beautifully bittersweet story online at Crane's webcomics portal, What Things Do.
It'll only take a minute or two. Go ahead, I'll wait.
There now. Need a hankie? I figured. The story of an elderly man bringing flowers to his beloved, The Last Lonely Saturday is where I first discovered Crane's impeccably cartoony character designs and near-wordless storytelling chops, as well as his knack for teasing both the darkness and the light out of issues of love and loss. And now the comic has been adapted into a live-action short film by director Seth Craven. The movie premieres as part of the HollyShorts Film Festival at Laemmle's Sunset 5 in Los Angeles on August 12 at 5pm. Get ready to be heartbroken.
The filming of The Dark Knight Rises in Pittsburgh is expected to pump millions of dollars into the economy, giving a boost to hotels, restaurants, lumber yards and more. So, hey, why shouldn't the criminal community get a little benefit?
WPXI reports that on Saturday evening, Pittsburgh police Det. Robert DiGiacomo was in an unmarked vehicle looking for the suspect in an assault. Suddenly a man matching the suspect's description opened the car door, sat down and told the detective to get out. When the officer drew his gun and ordered 21-year-old Micah Calamosca to exit the car, the suspect reportedly responded that he was part of the cast of the Christopher Nolan film … and that stealing the vehicle was just part of the script.
As you may have guessed, DiGiacomo didn't buy the explanation. Calamosca was subsequently arrested, and faces a charge of robbery of a motor vehicle. A police vehicle. I'd have at least gone for Batman's Tumbler. Heck, he has three, so he may not have missed one.
Ahead of the July 19 release of Captain America: Super Soldier, SEGA has debuted new art and background information for some of the villains players will encounter in the third-person action game.
Tying into the upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger feature film, Super Soldier allows gamers, playing as the Sentinel of Liberty, to engage in free-flowing combat and acrobatic platforming to infiltrate a mysterious castle and battle the Iron Cross, the forces of HYDRA and a host of enemies serving the Red Skull in an attempt to stop evil scientist Arnim Zola.
You can see screenshots, art and descriptions for Baron von Strucker, Madame Hydra and a sniper after the break.
Honestly, most comic book movies feel like most tie-in-videogames do. Those things get made to service the trademark. They aren't very good games. There's nothing amazing going on in innovation or gameplay. They're cool because you get to roleplay Batman kicking skulls in or the like. I'm sure they're entertaining enough, but they're not memorable above and beyond that.
–Strangeways writer (and Robot 6 veteran) Matt Maxwell, with a comparison that really clarified a lot of things for me about the pleasures and disappointments of superhero movies. Fatherhood has done to my movie-going time what I do to about 20 diapers a day and thrown it right in the garbage, but I've looked forward to and seen a lot of these flicks over the years, and on an alternate Earth I'd have seen two more already this summer in the form of Thor and X-Men: First Class, with another two, Green Lantern and Captain America: The First Avenger soon to join them. I've disliked many of them. I've liked some of them. I've liked a handful — the Marvel Studios suite of Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Iron Man 2 — well enough to own them on DVD. But with the exception of the first Tim Burton Batman movie, I've never seen one that offers the never-seen-that-before sensation that superhero comics still regularly afford you, if you know where to look.
My son is 10 and a romantic, as all 10-year-olds surely have the right to be. How then do I speak to him of this world's masterminds who render you a supporting actor in your own story? How do I speak of the Sentinels whose eyes melt history, until the world forgets that in 1962, the quintessential mutants of America were black?
—from a New York Times op-ed piece on Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class by Atlantic contributor Ta-Nehisi Coates. In the piece, Coates praises the film as "the most thrilling movie of the summer…narratively lean, beautifully acted and, at all the right moments, visually stunning" — and at the same time finds the makeup of the film's mutant heroes and anti-heroes an unintentionally revealing glimpse into the American psyche. "Here is a period piece for our postracial times — in the era of Ella Baker and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the most powerful adversaries of spectacular apartheid are a team of enlightened white dudes."
Coates elaborates on both points, and more besides, on his blog. "It is easily one of my top five comic book movies ever, and significantly better than any of the other X-movies to date," he writes, even after comparing it unfavorably to the racially homogeneous but racially aware Mad Men and calling it "a period piece blind to its own period." He also offers a quick take on the pros and cons of the film's treatment of women, a point examined in depth by The Mary Sue's Susana Polo.
Elsewhere on the "sociopolitical examinations of the latest X-movie" beat, ThinkProgress' Matthew Yglesias agrees with a point of Polo's and argues (twice) that Magneto's out-and-proud Brotherhood of Mutants has a far more appealing message than Xavier's accommodationist group; Ezra Klein disagrees, pointing out that Magneto's agenda is a supremacist one, and wondering if the real dividing line between rival mutant camps would be one between those who could profit monetarily from their abilities (eg. Storm selling her rainmaking services to agribusiness conglomerates and drought-stricken nations) and those who couldn't; and Adam Serwer connects the film with Avatar's enlightened-colonizer-goes-native storyline as "another example of the way the quest for racial innocence so permeates American culture that it's almost unrecognizable."
"I think audiences are ready [for more challenging superhero films]. Unfortunately, I don't think there's anyone in Hollywood who could drum up the $300 million it would take to make [a Final Crisis movie]. But entertainment has changed, again. We've been concerned with realism for a while, but we're getting back into psychedelia and fantasy again. Look at James Cameron's Avatar or Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, which are two of the most successful films of the last two years. Both happened to catch a wave that few were ready for."
–Grant Morrison in Wired, November 2010
My recent entrance into the world of fatherhood has done to my theatergoing what Bane did to Batman's back, but that hasn't kept me from eagerly anticipating new superhero movies, for good or for ill, nor has it stopped me from picking them apart with my friends. During one such recent discussion about Kenneth Branagh's hit Thor adaptation, two of my friends said it feels a lot like Marvel Studios' other movies — one of them meant it as a compliment, the other as a criticism, but both agreed that this similarity was the plan all along. Thor's roots in Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's cosmic take on the Norse myths may be a million miles away from Iron Man's weapons-manufacturer-turned-roguish-hero science fiction, but both properties are being filtered through Marvel Studios' version of Marvel Comics' "as close to the real world as the presence of superheroes will allow us to get" tone — specifically, the military-industrial version thereof that was pioneered, I'd say, by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch's The Ultimates a decade ago. Most of the other big superhero movies have been similarly earthbound, aesthetically speaking, from Christopher Nolan's dark, Chicago-set Batman movies to the paramilitary jumpsuits of Bryan Singer's X-Men. In those cases you could make a reasonable argument that toning things down made sense. In other cases, like Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies, making Spidey as much of an everyman as possible is part and parcel of the concept's appeal.
With less than a month until the opening of the Warner Bros. movie, Six Flags Great Adventure today premieres its 15-story Green Lantern roller-coaster — excuse me, stand-up thrill coaster — in Jackson, New Jersey. Season pass holders get an exclusive preview through Sunday, with the ride opening to the general public on May 25. That is, as long as the rapture doesn't arrive on Saturday, throwing a wrench into the rollout.
Designed by the engineers behind the DC Comics-themed Bizarro, Superman-Ultimate Flight and the unimaginatively named Batman the Ride, Green Lantern reaches speeds of 63 miles per hour, and features a 121-foot-tall loop.
Check out video of the ride after the break. The Green Lantern movie, which stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively and Mark Strong, opens on June 17.
Updated: Though many of the comments about this article (below and elsewhere) indicate that people read the entire thing and understood my point, enough didn't that I now realize that the tile of this post is unintentionally misleading. This is not a post about how the story presented in the movie is better than the best stories presented in the comics. It's about how Marvel's trade program is impenetrable enough and how the quality of stories over a series' 50-year history varies enough that people who enjoy Marvel movies and would enjoy reading some similar comics often end up just throwing their hands in the air and deciding to watch the movie again instead. Sincere apologies to those for whom this was not clear.
In his response to the news that Marvel's putting a lot of their cartoons on Netflix, Tom Spurgeon noted that "the Marvel cartoons are probably a bigger factor than we realize in building a core audience for many of their properties, but I haven't seen anyone seriously engage that subject since the first X-Men movie came out."
I don't expect that this article constitutes "serious engagement," but Spurgeon did remind me of my own reaction to last weekend's Thor movie. My dominant thought as I watched it (and one that lingered into the parking lot and beyond) was that I enjoyed it more than I've enjoyed a Thor comic in a long, long time. Since I was a kid really. The same is true of the Iron Man films – even the second one – only replace "in a long, long time" with "ever."
Take into consideration that I've yet to read Walt Simonson's Thor or any of Matt Fraction's stuff with either character, so I realize that my viewpoint is extremely limited. But that's not the point. I'm not trying to claim that the story presented in Kenneth Branagh's Thor is objectively better than every comic ever written about the same character. I do suspect however that the experience of watching it is – for most people – a more satisfying thing than the experience of trying to read the books on which it's based. As a life-long comics fan, my surprise is that I'm not only sympathetic to that perspective, but have adopted it myself.
Really, it was always just a matter of time before these two great products of the 1980s, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen and Hasbro's My Little Pony, met. Even if it is The Hub's strange new My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic cartoon — seriously, that's the name — mashed up with Zack Snyder's 2009 comic-book adaptation. "From the visionary director of 300 Ponies," it's … Ponymen. Stay gold, Ponymen. Stay gold.

Bluewater sent out a press release last week to announce that Morningside Entertainment has optioned the film rights to Bluewater's Sinbad: Rogue of Mars comic from 2007. There are several interesting things about that.
According to the press release, Morningside has optioned the comic in order to adapt it into a feature film for 2012. Not a reboot, the movie is intended to be an extension of the Sinbad films that started with 1958's The 7th Voyage of Sinbad and continued into the '70s with The Golden Voyage of Sinbad and Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger.
The release went on to quote Executive Producer Barry Schneer as saying that Rogue of Mars would be the first film in a new trilogy. "I'm thrilled to continue the amazing legacy my uncle, Charles Schneer began with 7th Voyage and to bring to the screen the Sinbad movie that he and Ray Harryhausen never got to make."
Since Bluewater published Sinbad: Rogue of Mars as part of its Ray Harryhausen Presents line of comics, I started wondering how this fit together and who owned the rights to what. I assumed that Morningside already owned at least a portion of the rights to the Sinbad films. Since Rogue of Mars was based on those movies, why would Morningside need to option the story from a comic book company that had bought the license from them in the first place? What exactly was Morningside optioning? And how does Ray Harryhausen himself fit into all of this?

The Japanese government has outlined a 10-year program aimed at reducing by 80 percent the number of victims from a possible major earthquake focusing on the Nankai Trough off central and western Japan, officials said Friday.
In the worst case scenario, the government estimates the number of victims from such a quake and ensuing tsunami at more than 300,000. The Nankai Trough runs from Suruga Bay off Shizuoka Prefecture on the country's main island of Honshu to the Sea of Hyuga off Miyazaki Prefecture on the southernmost main island of Kyushu.
Some researchers have warned a magnitude 9 earthquake focused on the 770-kilometer trough might hit Pacific coastal areas sometime within the next 30 years.
The program was adopted at the day's meeting of the government's Central Disaster Prevention Council headed by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Cabinet ministers, heads of the Bank of Japan, public broadcaster NHK and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp., and researchers were among the members.
In the program, the government designated 707 municipalities in 29 of the country's 47 prefectures as regions where antidisaster measures should be strengthened to halve the number of buildings which might collapse or be burnt down.
Of the 707, 139 municipalities that might suffer serious damage from tsunami were designated as areas for which the government will increase its subsidies for local governments to establish evacuation centers.
Abe, speaking at the council, said his government will do its best to protect people's lives and properties.
The program assumes that such a quake and ensuing tsunami will result in the loss of 332,000 lives and the collapse or destruction by fire of 2.5 million buildings.
The basic plan calls for speeding up the designation of buildings to be used as sites for evacuation from tsunami and construction of coastal barriers against tsunami.
Among powerful quakes experienced in the central and western parts of the quake-prone country, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake that struck the port city of Kobe and its vicinity on Jan. 17, 1995 killed more than 8,000 people.
On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake devastated areas in northeastern Japan, mainly Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, killing about 18,000 people.

Flames soar from the surface of griddles built into the middle of Ginza Sushi & Japanese Steakhouse's tables, as chefs drum out a steady rhythm against the heated metal surfaces with their knives. Beneath the flashy blade-work, delicious proteins – such as filet mignon, scallops, grouper, and chicken – soaked in Japanese style sauces divide into bite-sized cubes of flavor. Meanwhile, sushi chefs perform equally deft, if less often observed, tricks with their knives, dicing rolled conglomerations of rice, seaweed, and raw fish into even morsels. They prepare such treats at the super dragon roll, featuring snow crab and avocado topped with barbecued eel, or the cherry blossom roll, with tempura shellfish beneath a blanket of lobster salad. Mixologists wash the seameats down with concoctions of their own, brewed to order at the full bar.

58 percent of federal trial judges in oil-affected states have a stake in oil industry.
The AP reports that well over half of the federal trial judges in states affected by the BP oil disaster have financial ties to that industry:
Thirty-seven of the 64 active or senior judges in key Gulf Coast districts in Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida have links to oil, gas and related energy industries, including some who own stocks or bonds in BP PLC, Halliburton or Transocean "" and others who regularly list receiving royalties from oil and gas production wells, according to the reports judges must file each year. "¦ [O]ne federal judge in Texas is a member of Houston's Petroleum Club, an "exclusive, handsome club of, and for, men of the oil industry."
Industry ties among federal judges are so widespread that they are beginning to endanger the courts' ability to conduct routine business. Last month, so many members of the right-wing Fifth Circuit were forced to recuse themselves from an appeal against various energy and chemical companies that there weren't enough untainted judges left to allow the court to hear the case. Nevertheless, Senate conservatives are doing everything in their power to prevent President Obama from appointing new judges who do not share the federal judiciary's current bias toward industry.
This is another ThinkProgress repost.

BP (NYSE:BP) Bankruptcy Fears Heighten As Market Value Drops Below $100 Billion
Share price of BP (NYSE:BP) continue to plunge, increasing concerns they may end up having to declare bankruptcy to survive the financial and reputation devastation coming from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Other worries from shareholders, which include many pensions and institutional investors which had counted on the success of BP for their own financial success in the years ahead, included cuts in the dividend, and continual loss of value in their holdings in the company.
Since April 20th, the giant oil company has lost 47 percent of its value, seriously affecting shareholders of many stripes.
Those watching the situation say liability could reach as high as $40 billion before it's all over for BP, although that even could be a low estimate based on many unknown factors at this time.
If it becomes too much, there will be a lot of losers if BP ends up having to declare bankruptcy.
Since the American government is a corporate fascist state, there is no surprise that judicial members (judges) are essentially on the payroll of the fossil materials mining industry. It is the same for coal mining judges in West Virginia.
Besides, who cares if via trillions of dollars of public subsidies for environmental destruction we are oxidizing buried matter and converting our climate toward a collapsed state, right? Long live fraud and corruption of American Corporate Fascism. Where is my nuclear (atomic fission) bailout bucket?
It is still worth working on the problem(s).
Deeply depressing.
The bureaucracy is in the pocket when what's needed is a leap in a new direction, and enough people in powerful positions to recognize that the old ways lead us to the end of democracy and prosperity.
Clean energy is the economy of the 21st Century. Fossil fuels may be "high-density" but who cares, they're ancient history?

I have a ProPhoto3 blog, that I upgraded and moved, giving it a new URL and host. Things looked ok, until I moved my site and deleted the old blog on my old host. I did back up the blog (though not sure what to do with it). Everything seemed to import fine, and the images are in the library...they just now all have a question mark when I look at the posts. All except what I recently uploaded. The img html has the old blog URL on them, I noticed.
I have no idea how to fix this. If the images are in the library, shouldn't they show up? How do I get them to show up? I have yet to upgrade to 3.0, does that have anything to do with it?

Sorry can't see them properly, the third one might be a larkspur...are all the pics the same plant?
I don't grow them anymore because they get decimated with rust I have one plant just outside the garden wall which will flower this year, it's not doing too bad but has a little rust on it.
They've come this far think it's worth a go and treating them
How tastes differ.....................I have this here and really like it
The garden was landscaped last year and a couple of small clumps were planted and I like the fact that it's hardy,needs no maintenance, gives plenty of flowers, acts as ground cover and looks lovely hanging over the walls.
If ever I thought it was taking over I would just pull clumps of it up
Turned out to be a day lily
Orange/apricot in colour, looks lovely, especially as it was a freebie
Hello, thanks for the id of no 3 snowberry. I inherited this one and often wondered what it was.
It's on the border of the garden but I find it invasive as it pops up in the beds and is almost impossible to pull out. Don't think it has any useful purpose for nature, so I would be careful of where you plant it.
MIght be worth trying a new post to this thread and see if the tree icon is there then. I can't see the tree icon on my previous posts only the one that I'm writing.......hope that makes sense
Thanks both, caught a glimpse of a couple today and from what I can tell they look like bumblies. Leaving it or the base is an option as we don't want to do them any harm.
Been on the bumblebees conservation site and they advocate leaving it alone as the nests don't last for long and the queen will find somewhere else to hibernate. Wasn't sure if the queen hibernates in the same nest or finds somewhere else but it looks as if she will move on.
Thanks again
Not yet....but looking like strong healthy plants
Not ever heard of this before, stagnant water can become smelly but I don't think it would do any harm to plants. I only have one water butt which is plastic, I use all the water this time of year before it starts to smell
Hello, my mum is having some work done in her garden and having an old shed taken down. A lot of bees were noticed going down into the old floor boards of the shed and it looks like they have a nest down there. Don't know what type of bees they were other than they were quite large and looked liked the traditional bumblies.
Just wondering what is the best course of action? Thanks for any info

Remembering Sekou Sundiata, Poet of Sound
Poet Sekou Sundiata died this week at age 58; the cause was heart failure. Sundiata, who taught literature at New York City's New School University for many years, was considered one of the fathers of the spoken-word movement. He wrote the plays Blessing the Boats, The Circle Unbroken is a Hard Bop, The Mystery of Love, Udu, and the 51st (dream) state. His albums include Longstoryshort and The Blue Oneness of Dreams. We remember him with excerpts from interviews that originally aired in May 1994, April 1997, and November 2002.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.3 lbs (0.14 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

That's SO great that you're going vegan! Welcome to the cruelty-free club… pretty much the best club there is. We're here to help every step of the way, so just shoot me that email whenever you have a chance!

Congrats on going vegan!
Some processed foods are vegan, for example, Oreos are vegan in the USA and some other countries.
Be ready to explain to your parents why you want to be vegan, show them you've done your research and know your stuff!
Eating a balanced vegan diet is easy – you can eat the same things as before you went vegan but just replace the meat with things like beans, lentils, extra vegetables, tofu or faux meats. And replace the other animal products with things like soya milk, dairy-free cheese etc.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
