|The fall looks violent. Whipping sideways or backwards toward the wall can be disastrous. What caused the fall isn't what he was commenting on.

|At first it looks violent, but upon closer expection I see he has his hand on the rope. So in reality he has more control than it first appears.

It's that time of year again. All the holiday game releases start bunching up, so I have to eat a can of spinach, transform into Super Cary, and start reviewing games like a madman. So you may see these game review list blogs more often for the next couple of months. As always, please click on and read as many reviews as you can and post comments on them, too. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
But first, in honor of Halloween coming up, I posted some pics of my new Pac-Man Halloween yard decoration, some Pac-Man costumes, and wrote a bit about the return of Monster Cereals.
Scribblenauts Unmasked (Wii U)
The reason why this blog has kind of a superhero motif is that I've been playing a lot of Scribblenauts Unmasked and The Wonderful 101 lately, both of which are superhero games. I'm not going to review Wonderful 101, as I got the game for my birthday and I'm just playing it for fun (when I can). But I am reviewing Unmasked. I've been able to review every single game in the Scribblenauts series, so it's kind of a feather in my game reviewing cap. Unmasked is a lot like last year's Unlimited, except here you travel to locations found in the DC universe, and can summon heroes, villains, and objects from DC Comic's vast library. It's a fun game, but I can't help but think I'd enjoy it ten times more if I knew more about comic books. Never really got into them myself. So I'd like for you all to pick out a favorite DC Comics character for me. I kind of like Power Girl, but I don't really know why, other than the fact that her name is easy to remember. So let me know in the comments section, and tell me some DC characters to try out in the new Scribblenauts Unmasked, and I'll see if they work!
This downloadable game pays homage to classic 16-bit RPGs like FF6, Chrono Trigger, Lufia 2, and Earthbound. So it's right up my alley. It's doesn't quite live up to the classics that it's trying to imitate, but it's still pretty fun if you like those kinds of games. Make sure to read the review if you'd like to learn more.
Believe it or not, I'm actually really into fitness stuff. I wake up early nearly every morning and go work out and lift weights at a gym near my house. I've done that for a really long time, too. Back when I was in college, I only weighed about 120 pounds. When I graduated, I decided I was tired of being so puny so that's when I started working out. It's taken a very long time, but now I weigh nearly 200 pounds (not fat either) and even though I'm not super buff or anything, I certainly look a lot different than I did back then. So I like to review fitness games, although I'm a bit too klutzy for Zumba stuff. The iPad game tries to be like the Kinect version, and while it doesn't work quite as well, I still say it's better and cheaper than having to buy a Kinect and the game to play it on. One time at E3 I got to meet some Zumba celebrity instructors, and that was really cool. They were very nice (and pretty, too).
Grand Theft Auto V Limited Edition Strategy Guide (Book)
Well you won't see me review GTAV, but I did get to review the strategy guide! The Limited Edition version is really nice, too, with a hard cover and everything!
This is an interesting idea. It's like a mix of trivia and bingo, but before you start playing, you pick a charity to play for, and your score goes to that charity. Whichever charity gets the highest score worldwide gets the money. The money comes from ads and in-game purchases; the regular game itself is free. If you have an iPad, you might as well go ahead and download it. It's pretty fun for what it is, and you'll be doing a good deed, too!
Reader Review: Volgarr the Viking (PC)
I had my friend review this one, as he's more of a PC and Steam gamer than I am. This one plays a lot like classic late 80's arcade platformers like Rastan. My friend really liked it, too. He's got a couple of other reviews lined up that I'll be posting later on, so keep your eyes out for those, too.
The last three games I reviewed are futuristic themed racers. In this one you control a running robot man as he races through TRON-like virtual worlds. It's all right, but kind of hard.
This one is similar to the previous one, except the robot here can roll up into a ball and looks suspiciously like the 'bots in the co-op portion of Portal 2.
I'm not sure if it's pronounced "Ai Race" or "Air Race." In this one you race futuristic jets through corridors and tubes. So yeah, not much to it there.
Choose My Next Blog!
And that's all for now! I hope you all get to read as many reviews as you can and post comments, too. I'd appreciate it. My next blog will be Zelda related, but I actually have two topics planned. I wanted to cover one topic next time, since Wind Waker HD just came out. And when the 3DS Link Between Worlds comes out in November, I'll cover the other topic. But YOU get to choose which one you'd like for me to blog about first. Do you want to hear which Zelda games I think should be re-made first? Or do you want to read about my top five favorite Zelda characters first? Let me know in the comments section! Later! --Cary

Skip to comments.Obama Campaign Grapples With New Voter ID Laws
Posted on 04/29/2012 8:42:48 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer
WASHINGTON Field workers for President Obamas campaign fanned out across the country over the weekend in an effort to confront a barrage of new voter identification laws that strategists say threaten the campaigns hopes for registering new voters ahead of the November election.
Many of the laws in question including the ones in Florida and Wisconsin are the subject of legal challenges by Democratic groups who say they are part of a partisan, Republican effort to dampen the turnout of voters, particularly members of minority groups, for Mr. Obama and his party.
But senior aides to Mr. Obama said the campaign was preparing for the laws to be upheld and in force this fall just in case.
We have to assume that these laws will be in effect in November, Jeremy Bird, the field director for the campaign, said in an interview. We are not allowing laws that are challenging and put in our way to stop us from doing what we need to do.
Campaign officials declined to put a price tag on the new efforts to comply with voter identification laws, saying the extra time and expense were being built into the budgets for each states campaign.
Four years ago, Mr. Obamas campaign used novel approaches to expand the pool of voters, including registration drives at barbershops and beauty salons in African-American neighborhoods. The campaign plans to expand those efforts, setting up voter registration outposts in those settings.
If the new state laws prevent the campaign from reaching those goals, it could cost Mr. Obama a second term.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
The fraud will be a multipronged approach to give Obama the votes that are needed in each state.
Illegal workers - fake ID cards
Challenge ID cards of registered republicans
transporting of voter machines
counting of votes
We have to show a photo id or similar id. when we vote in every election in Virginia. What's so hard about it?
I have a govt. id, a state driver's license, a state disabled persons id for handicapped parking, a voter precinct card, a photo card for doing research at the National Archives system, an id. card for my cardiac stent and defibrilator implants, AAA membership, insurance cards, car insurance card/papers with home address, letters from Social Security to me, gas bills, phone bills, cable bills, water bills/county bills, state tax papers, IRS papers, county tax bills, etc., and that is just in my wallet.
The elderly, disabled and non-English-speaking legal aliens/immigrants can all get official state and local govt documents without any problems. Those who already get social services from any level of government will have govt issued id. cards for those services.
Any claim to that "poor, minorities, immigrants, and the handicapped" can't get a government id. is a pure leftist lie and we should call them on it every time it pops up, whether on TV, radio talk shows, in newspapers, or at meetings.
Don't let the lying leftist bastards get away with this.
Also, you can check with your local government or state agencies about what ids. you can get if you need them.
The one type of voter fraud I never see mentioned is among college students. They can easily register on campus and also at their parent's home, then vote the "home" location absentee and the campus one in person. Voter fraud laws need to be national with all registrations checked against the national voter database to ensure no duplications.
We are not allowing laws that are challenging and put in our way to stop us from doing what we need to do.
They won't let a little thing like a law stop them.
Nah, we'd just like the voters that do turn out to be living, breathing US citizens. Oh, and we'd only like them to turn-out once and vote just once per election. That's not too much to ask, is it? Hey 'rats, you don't want illegal or other non-citizens voting, do you?
We are not allowing laws that are challenging and put in our way to stop us from doing what we need to do.
Well now that's chillingly honest. Is he saying they'll basically do whatever they need to in order to get the vote out - no matter what the laws say? A rare bit of honesty slips through into their "for public consumption" message.
I think what your'e describing is a secure national ID. I'd guess the US is the only first-world country that does not have it.
Unfortunately there is so much distrust of a centralized national government, national ID has never been developed here.
One attribute Mitt has, is tenacity. I don't think after campaigning for 6 years, he will just roll over like that damn mccain did when he knew the dems cheated big time.
I don't think the nobama bunch thought ahead that the SCOTUS would turn out to be his all powerful Nemesis and the unlikelihood the Supreme Court will not see Voter ID as essential to free elections. Not a good time to be dem.
After you sign up for welfare, take your check and open a bank account. Then stop at the liquor store, then buy a pack of smokes, make a return at Walmart, pay with a check at the garage, buy a vendors license, buy a house, get a loan, pawn your stolen bling, buy a car, buy a gun, enroll your kid in school, stop at the ER and then stop at the county office to make a restitution payment and a child support payment so you don' t go to jail. Then if you aren't too tuckered out stop and vote...and show the same $&@"?;/ photo ID that you had to show when you performed all of the previous transactions and didn't say a damn word.
The Democrats rely heavily upon both the dead and non-citizens for their votes; in the event that such non-citizens are disqualified in significant numbers, election victories are placed in jeopardy.
Thus, the effort to make sure such "voters" are maintained on voter lists.
Wonder if we could post prominent signs at ALL polling places stating the penalties for voter fraud?
Fathom the Hypocrisy of a Government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen..
National I'd == passport. That's the downside. States rights is another. States issue driver's licenses. Not the fed. They'd let TSA take charge of it if feds ran it.
It wouldn't need to be based on a national ID card. In each state, there is a Driver's License or State ID card available. Whichever ID is used for voter registration goes into the database and is linked to the other number if one is issued, so people can't register once with DL and again with ID.
I suppose people could still get multiple IDs from different states, but that seems like more trouble than most college students would go to. I just worry that it is ridiculously easy for them now to double their vote.
I wouldn't mind if voting was by fingerprint or retinal scan, myself. That is the defacto standard for police ID after all.
If BO was elected legally, then there is nothing to grapple with.
In Washington State we have vote by mail only. I can imagine all the ways DemonRATs can stuff the ballot with fraud when the ballots now do not need to come from a real voter.
..."The one type of voter fraud I never see mentioned is among college students. They can easily register on campus and also at their parents home, then vote the home location absentee and the campus one in person. Voter fraud laws need to be national with all registrations checked against the national voter database to ensure no duplications"...
Folks, this is the year to volunteer to help in the election if you have not done that in the past. Call and ask if you can help in any way. Let it be known in your state that you are concerned about voter fraud. Also, give money to your candidate..It has never been more important than now.
..."After you sign up for welfare, take your check and open a bank account. Then stop at the liquor store, then buy a pack of smokes, make a return at Walmart, pay with a check at the garage, buy a vendors license, buy a house, get a loan, pawn your stolen bling, buy a car, buy a gun, enroll your kid in school, stop at the ER and then stop at the county office to make a restitution payment and a child support payment so you don t go to jail.

YES, YES, YES, a thousand times YES! What kind of dumbed-down brain would be against showing an ID at the polls? Only those with criminal minds who want voter fraud, that's who.
Like collecting more illegal overseas campaign dollars then Bill Clinton ever dreamed of.
To hear the 'Rats one would think there is a large homebody population that never gets out to perform any transaction needing photo identification — except to vote.
That is amazing isn't it?
I don't think Canada does.

Corrected to reflect what true journalistic integrity would look like.
"No worries though, since they have a foreign company slated to count votes in the upcoming election, they can just commit their fraud at that level instead. It's not like the Republicans will try to do anything about it other than look the other way"
They can also have more black panthers stationed at voting centers swinging their billy clubs and shouting epitaphs at voters since that has already been given the go ahead by holder and HIS DOJ.
Last time I went to the polls in WI (last month)nobody asked for an ID. I told them my name, they looked it up in the book with registered voters names in it. What really bothered me was that they wrote a number next to my name in the book, then wrote the same number on my ballot. I thought that elections were supposed to be by secret ballot.
Bwaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha! Spewed coffee worth it for the laugh. As if no one knows the real reason that Demwits fear and loathe photo ID requirements for voting.
If Demwits have to present photo IDs, two out of three of them will be pictures of corpses. Demwits always field more voters than there are residents in their districts, and everybody knows it.
I'll say it again, "If you have to cheat, YOU DIDN'T WIN!"
Well, here's two that fit that category perfectly. We should check to see if they vote this November...
Yes, freshly minted Obama voters, all ready to vote three times each for the won.
I kind of like the term "freshly bagged" myself. It's pertinent in oh so many ways...
Indeed. "Freshly bagged" it is.
How about "freshly bagged for a dumpster near you"?

DJ and Pasodoc--you have both been saying how important the line is to the offense (along with Oldman, Memphis and others) and I agree completely. That is why I have not been critical of Smith, the receivers or Gore. Hunter did better than Gore but that may have been due to the D not cueing on Hunter. When he came in the D may have assumed it was a pass. VD helped out quite a bit today and that was great to see.
If they get the line fixed then the offense may be really nice to watch. The three penalties on Rachal in the first half (? Still can't believe that) were the end for me. He needs to be replaced and kept on the bench until he becomes more reliable. I saw him do a number of very odd things today and couldn't figure out where he was suppose to be blocking...evidently he couldn't either!

War the good warfare" (1 Timothy 1.18).
The disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ is a man of peace he is commanded to follow after peace with all men. But whilst he follows peace with men, he has a warfare to be waged against the powers of darkness; he is to be a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
A knowledge of this warfare will cause us to pray fervently in the prayer meetings and at home, for the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. It is useless to attempt to war this warfare in our own strength; it can only be successfully waged in the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore the Lord's warriors must be, first and foremost, men of prayer. To fail in this means weakness in our warfare. Prayer will only become a real thing in our lives when we realize the warfare character of our work. Think of the mighty foes that are against us, and think of their cunningness. In power and cunningness they are far beyond us, and yet, "we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us" (Romans 8.87). His power and grace are available to us continually. This power and this grace are given to us in answer to prayer and faith.
The Christian soldier should ponder deeply the important words of Paul in Ephesians 6. 10-20. These scriptures have often been written about, but not too often. Here they are again, sevenfold.
TRUTH. That is loving and obeying the truth.
RIGHTEOUSNESS. That is righteousness in living; no deceit in any form.
PREACHING THE GOSPEL. In season and out of season seeking to turn men to Christ. Always ready to speak the word.
FAITH IN GOD. A calm assurance that His word will be fulfilled. Believing God at all times, and about all things.
THE HELMET or SALVATION is the hope of salvation (1 Thessalonians 5.8) and this is the hope of His coming. We shall have joy and gladness in our lives because of the certainty of His coming.
THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT is the word of God which must be read, believed, fulfilled and used.
ALL PRAYER. "At all seasons ... in all perseverance ... for all the saints." A prayerful care for all the disciples will be manifest in the Lord's warriors.
Let us ponder over these in their completeness, so that none of them may be lacking in our lives. These made Paul the warrior that he was, and they will make us the Lord's equipped warriors also. These are the important things. May the Lord, the Spirit, make us to be the men (and women) that He would have us to be; good soldiers of Christ Jesus.

However, what I received was a cut up key chain figure which reeked of smoke.
For those who don't know, the original figure form the set is of higher value and
price than a key chain. Its obvious the one I got was a second hand item.
I immediately sent an email to let the seller know about it and he/she never responded.
When I filled a complaint on Paypal I just learned that it doesn't cover non ebay items.
The complaint system is flawed on bricklink. You can file a non responding seller or a non shipping seller alert. If the seller accumulates 3 of these, they can no longer sell on bricklink. But guess what? To remove a NSS (Non Shipping Seller), all the seller has to do is show proof of shipping. So theoretically, they can send a pile of manure with usps tracking and get away with it. To remove a NRS (Non Responding Seller), all the seller has to do is respond and request removal. Bricklink does not state that they have to take corrective action. I chose to file a NRS and I'm pretty sure probuilders had that removed because to this day they continue scamming every once in a while (Check their feedback on bricklink).
Therefore I went on the bricklink forum to voice my complaint. However, another
seller by the name of Fosterbengoshi was quick to dismiss my experience. His
main argument is that I have no proof. What proof do I need to be scammed?
After some heated debate, this seller immediately put me on the block list and
subsequently send the list to dozens of other sellers. Obviously I was placed
on multiple block lists of several sellers. Several sellers came on the forum
and attacked me as if I was the one to blame.
Based on another complaint on this site, its highly possible that those sellers are
all connected and they attempted to kick me out because I was threatening their
sales. The fact that a "Block list" is shared amongst sellers only points to such possibility. Another interesting tidbit is that probuilders has been a customer of fosterbengoshi.
When I ask how I can prove my experience, the response was you can't but any further
attempts to convince us will only negate your attempts. If you can't answer
that, how can you be so quick to dismiss me?
I had photo evidence that the address does not match. Probuilder's
registered sending address is in Kansas but they put Florida as their
sending address on the package I recieved. Still this did not convince
those bricklink members and I wonder why?
Although fosterbengoshi's assertions are true, I still wonder to this day why he is so supportive of probuilders. Anyhow, I was forced to apologized to the bricklink community because I was made to look like a fool without proof by Fosterbengoshi. For your information, "bengoshi" means lawyer in Japanese and such a name suits him well.
All in all, I cannot recommend Bricklink. Although there are plenty of honest sellers, the system does not protect prospective buyers. Finally beware of probuilders

"Mechner's journals are a time machine that takes us back to a weirdly familiar era, when ambitious young creators were making strange new video games all by themselves and making up the rules as they went. It is not a retrospective; instead, it is a present-tense diary written by the creator throughout the creation of his most influential work. It is a humbling and inspiring record of what it was like to make one of the best video games of all time. I love these journals."
-- Adam "Atomic" Saltsman, game designer, creator of Canabalt
"When an industry is brand-new, its innovators are generally so busy creating the future that they rarely have time to document the present. Luckily, Jordan Mechner did. With these journals, we can track the development of Prince of Persia from a few penciled squiggles to a global franchise. For anyone aspiring to create a game -- or any endeavor that takes months and man-hours -- Jordan's journal is sobering and inspiring."

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
This is the one-hundred and fiftieth in a series of examinations of comic book urban legends and whether they are true or false. Click here for an archive of the previous one-hundred and forty-nine. Click here for a similar archive, only arranged by subject.
For this, the 150th edition of Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed, I'm going to do a bit of a tie-in with the Top 100 Comic Book Runs countdown (which you can follow here), as each of this week's urban legends involves a comic run that is in the Top 100 (more specifically, all three are between #90 and #100)!!
Let's begin!
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Green Arrow was never called Green Arrow in any of Mike Grell's Green Arrow stories.
STATUS: True in spirit, if not TECHNICALLY in practice.
As you may or may not already know, Mike Grell's take on Green Arrow in the late 80s was to strip the character down from his otherworldly superhero lifestyle and make him more of a vigilante type than a superhero.
Therefore, calling himself a name like "Green Arrow" would get in the way of that a bit, even if that was the, you know, name of the comic.
But then again, John Constantine didn't go around calling himself "Hellblazer," right? So it wouldn't be COMPLETELY shocking if he never called himself Green Arrow.
Anyhow, according to Grell's Wikipedia page, "in none of Mike Grell's Green Arrow stories is the character ever called "Green Arrow" anywhere but on the cover."
I thought this was a fascinating bit of info, but was it actually true?
To test it out, I broke out my Green Arrow run, and checked, and in the very first issue of Longbow Hunters, it is proven wrong, as Oliver refers to himself (while recapping his past) as "Green Arrow."
So the statement, as quoted, is technically false.
However, the true spirit of the statement is that Mike Grell specifically tried not to call Oliver Green Arrow, right?
And in NONE of the eighty issues of Green Arrow that Mike Grell wrote (nor the other two parts of Longbow Hunters) was the term "Green Arrow" used anywhere but on the cover.
That might sound hard to do, but Grell got around it by having everyone call him Oliver Queen, or Mr. Queen or Ollie or whatever.
In fact, if you re-read Grell's Green Arrow, for most of the run, he goes far out of his way to avoid talking about anything fantastical at all.
When Hal Jordan shows up, he's ringless and out of costume, and never talks about anything but normal stuff.
Later on, Grell takes this tact to the extreme, during the cute two-parter where Travis "Warlord" Morgan guest-stars for two issues.
Grell never has Morgan actually talk about Skartaris, simply has him make comments that we, the reader, know is about Skartaris, but if you were unfamiliar with Warlord, you'd be totally lost.
Right towards the end of his run, Grell has Arsenal guest-star, and it's actually pretty funny, because it's essentially the first time a real superhero has shown up in the series, and Grell makes Roy's costume look pretty darn silly.
Anyhow, does EVERY Grell Green Arrow story not use the term "Green Arrow"? Well, no, but come on, it was just the one issue, and it was the FIRST issue, and it wasn't even the Green Arrow regular series!! So while it is technically false, I think it is true in spirit.
82 issues without mentioning the term "Green Arrow" is still pretty darn impressive, no?
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Matt Wagner refused to reprint his early Grendel stories for years because he was ashamed of their quality.
STATUS: False
Just last week, I discussed the troubles that early independent comic book pioneers like Gil Kane had in getting their work out to the comic book buying masses. The market for comic books just was not designed, at the time, for works like Kane's I Am…Savage to be made easily accessible to comic buyers.
By the 1980s, the advent of the Direct Market changed things dramatically. Now it was a lot easier to get work into the hands of comic readers, which opened up opportunities for independent comic book companies, but with such freedom also came looser standards, as the amount of professional-level comics probably did not meet the demand for comic books at the time. One of the results is that young artists, such as Matt Wagner, had a chance to produce comics where they might not have totally been ready to do so.
In Wagner's case, his earliest work on Grendel, which appeared at first in Comico Primer, and then in a short-lived Comico black and white series, was not up to the same standards as Wagner's later masterful work with the character.
In fact, once Comico ceased work on their black and white comics (including Grendel), Wagner rewrote the first three issues of the Black and White Grendel, and published them as a back-up in his Mage series. He later collected the back-ups into a one-shot called Grendel: Devil by the Deed.
(Dig that garish 80s trade dress)
By this time, Wagner had developed as a writer, and soon, he launched the ongoing Grendel comic for Comico, and the rest is, as they say, history.
However, for years, Wagner refused to reprint those early Grendel works – the original Comico Primer appearance and the three-issue black and white book. The rumor that was passed around was that Wagner was ashamed of the work and the poor quality, and did not want to see it reprinted.
In an interview with Matt Brady for Newsrama a couple of years ago, Wagner addressed these rumors head on –
There's this common misconception that I don't reprint those early Comico black and white Grendel stories because I'm ashamed of them. That couldn't be further from the truth. That's like saying I'm ashamed that I was once 13 or that I was once 22 or that I was once 31. I'm not. That story was later retold, re-done, and finished as Devil by the Deed. I just feel that it would be a little whoreish to reprint my early, incomplete work, just basically for the sake of a buck. I understand why people want to see it, and I've always said that I'd think about it as I got older, and maybe the 25th anniversary is a good enough reason to do it–I don't know. Maybe it is a good time to honor it in that fashion, to show everything that led up to where the character is now.
As you might know already, in 2007, Wagner ultimately DID decide that the 25th Anniversary was good enough reason to finally reprint these stories.
Wagner did another interview with Brady where he explained the change of heart (read it here), but it's basically just an elaboration of what he said in the above quote.
Thanks to Matts Brady and Wagner for the information!!
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Nextwave had a name change because of trademark issues.
STATUS: True
When the amazing Warren Ellis/Stuart Immonen series Nextwave debuted in 2006, it was titled, appropriately enough, Nextwave.
That was the case for #2, as well.
However, without much fanfare, #3 had a different name.
The book was now called Nextwave, Agents of H.A.T.E.
I, and I'm sure many others, didn't think much of it, and just figured it was one of those "The Mighty Thor" instead of Thor or "The Invincible Iron Man" instead of Iron Man things.
You know, just a subtitle.
As it turned out, however, there was a bit of a trademark snafu, presumably with the big corporation Nextwave Wireless (although I do not know for sure that it is Nextwave Wireless they're talking about, although I do know Nextwave Wireless has a registered trademark on the name "Nextwave Wireless").
Stuart Immonen mentioned on a website, when asked about the change, explained that Marvel did not secure a clear-cut trademark, so while they MIGHT be all right as they were, they felt it was just better off to change the title officially to Nextwave, Agents of H.A.T.E.
Funny, huh?
Thanks to Stuart Immonen for the dirt!!
Okay, that's it for this week!
Thanks to the Grand Comic Book Database for this week's covers!
Feel free (heck, I implore you!) to write in with your suggestions for future installments! My e-mail address is email@example.com.
See you next week!
Sigh. I had recently read the NextWave: agents of H.A.T.E. vol. 1 and 2, and for the life of me, cannot understand why this book was not on the top of the best-selling Marvel books. It was hilarious!!!
I just picked up GRENDEL ARCHIVES from the library last nite, nifty coincidence, no?
Interesting tidbit about Grell's Green Arrow. Here's another, outside of the Long-bow mini-series, I believe that Mike Grell did the interiors of only one issue of the 80 issue run (artwise, I mean). Izzat right?
Love that Green Arrow run. It had a real grown-up feel to it that separated it from other superhero books.
I also liked that Ollie was seemingly in his 40's even though his DCU contemporaries like Hal and Bruce were portrayed as being in their early 30's
Grell showed Ollie's birthday every (or nearly every) year, and had him moan about his getting older, even stating his age! I don't remember seeing that in any other super-hero (or super-hero-ish) comic.
I just read the Nextwave trades this past year. They were hilarious! Such a shame that it never found its audience.
Wait a minute, has Nextwave wireless ever wanted to launch there own comic book line?
If not, why the hell is there a problem? People will confuse the trademarks? Come on, give me a break.
Grell is an awesome writer, just to be able to pull that off!
Brian, was Ollie not called "Arrow" here and there during the Grell series. Been a long time since I read them, and I no longer own them. But I just have this sneaking feeling that such was the case. And if so, it TECHNICALLY would not count as him being called GREEN ARROW, though it wouldn't be quite as clean a getaway as mentioning neither term whatsover (LONGBOW #1 excepted).
I remember "Arrow" being thrown around a lot, too. Ollie's ID was still somewhat secret for most of the run, and he interacted a lot with cops and crooks who couldn't just call him (or, worse, refer to him in the third person) as 'hey, you' all the time.
But somehow "Arrow" felt very different from "Green Arrow" or "GA", to say nothing of the stuff like "Emerald Archer" that had always previously been thrown around.
DC in the late 80s broke a lot of new ground– but it was still remarkable to have such an adult, in-continuity take on the lives of two former Justice Leaguers. The house ads for Longbow Hunters put it in line with Dark Knight, Man of Steel, and the Wonder Woman relaunch; it was advertised as the next step in the evolution of the DCU, not hidden away in a dirty little Vertigo Visions corner the way it would have been a decade later.
The issue in which Shrapnel shows up in Seattle and Ollie narrates how much the wall he'd tried to maintain between his old life and his new one was crumbling down was one of the nicer bits of self-aware metacommentary I'd seen.
Grell did use the name in his Green Arrow Secret Origins story and in the mini-series Green Arrow: The Wonder Year, along with a humorous explanation about how Ollie Queen got stuck with it. Grell basically used Ollie to express his distatse for what Grell called "a silly name".
And let me make it clear, and I'm sure that Jacob agress, using "Arrow" is no letdown (if it proves to be the case), and still counts as a departure worth noting. You're right, Jacob, this adult take on JLA'ers was years ahead of its time.
Ralph, I assume that Marvel changed the name because of the same reasons they've changed Hell's Angel to Dark Angel years ago. Hell's Angels had no plans to publish a comic book (AFAIK), but they demanded a name change. It's just a cover up for the sake of legalism.
Must read Grendel and Grell's GA one of these days. Grell's only story I ever read was his Green Arrow: The Wonder Year #1.
I have to admit that I hated the "new" Green Arrow when he made his debut in Justice League of America #75. I was a big GA fan from the back-up stories in Adventure & World's Finest and I saw this new, abrasive GA as a complete Hawkeye knock-off. I warmed up to him during the GL/GA O'Neil series, and took his side as the liberal vs Hawkman conservative later on in JLA. I collected LBH and his ongoing, but didn't really like it all that much.
Fans have always considered GA's pre JLA # 75 stories as boring and a knock-off of Batman, but to a kid growing up in the late 50's and early 60's, the arrow signal, arrow cave, arrow car and all the trick arrows made for some fun reading. I almost died when O'Neil made Speedy a heroin addict, until years later, when I understood the historical significance and Roy became so much more of hero.
Those pre-JLA#75 GA strories may have been fun for you as a kid, but reading them in the Showcase volume was stultifyingly boring, despite some nice Lee Elias art. Always liked Trevor Von Eeden's work with the character later though, so hopefully a second volume will pick up where the first left off — and eventually we can get to the Grell stuff.
I had recently read the NextWave: agents of H.A.T.E. vol. 1 and 2, and for the life of me, cannot understand why this book was not on the top of the best-selling Marvel books.
Good question. The answer? You pegged it:
It was hilarious!!!
No room for silly, self-contained fun when there are crossovers to buy…
Grell did use the name in his Green Arrow Secret Origins story and in the mini-series Green Arrow: The Wonder Year, along with a humorous explanation about how Ollie Queen got stuck with it. Grell basically used Ollie to express his distatse for what Grell called "a silly nameâ€.
Oh yeah, very possible.
I just looked at Longbow Hunters and the ongoing series. The ongoing series was the real key for me – I mean, imagine writing EIGHTY issues of a character without using their superhero name! And that's without ANYone in the book referring to him as Green Arrow.
During one storyline, Ollie is framed for treason, and Grell shows the media coverage, and the MEDIA doesn't even mention the name Green Arrow!! It's "Self-styled adventurer" or something like that.
Pretty funny stuff.
Oh, and Denny O'Neil wrote a few Annuals of Green Arrow, and while he MOSTLY stuck to Grell's tactics, he also had people use "Green Arrow" in them.
Grell must have had fun with the Oliver Queen/Travis Morgan crossover. IIRC, Morgan comes to town and is constantly under attack. Not from his own personal enemies, but from people who mistake him for Oliver Queen. All a case of mistaken identity.
Just Grell's response to the people that complained that "Ollie and Travis look too much alike", "All Grell's heroes look alike."
I missed out on this Green Arrow series and to this day wish they'd collect it in trades. As I've gotten older I've been going back and reading TPBs of Moore's Swamp Thing, Gaiman's Sandman and Morrison's Animal Man and Doom Patrol, that I missed because I was too young to care when they came out. I've read so much about Grell's GA series…and I'm not one to chase down back issues. Wish they'd start making trades of his complete run on the title.
Denny did a similar thing in the Question. I don't think that any of the Denny issues call the character the Question either.
I had recently read the NextWave: agents of H.A.T.E. vol. 1 and 2, and for the life of me, cannot understand why this book was not on the top of the best-selling Marvel books. It was hilarious!!!
I just read the Nextwave trades this past year. They were hilarious! Such a shame that it never found its audience.
Here we have the reason in a nutshell: two people who apparently didn't read/buy the book in the first place when it was LOOKING for it's audience, now reading it in trades. Maybe if you (and all the people I'm using you as a sample for) bought it WHEN IT CAME OUT it would have "found it's audience" and "been on the top of the best-selling Marvel books."
Exactly, Lothor. Back at the time I said the same stuff to fellow forum members when the news of Nextwave's cancellation came about. It may seem harsh to some, but then you see their reaction when they read the book. All I could sat was: "Oh, so NOW you wonder why the book was cancelled?! Thank you!"
The Grell GREEN ARROW run is a masterpiece. I remember being blown away by those issues when they came out, it was more of a hard-boiled crime comic than than a superhero comic. It's proof that "80's Grim & Gritty" does not have to mean stupid, exploitative, or bad.
And as for the "Why didn't you buy NEXTWAVE when it was coming out" arguement: 1) For various economic and geographic reasons, it's getting *much* easier for me personally to get trades of stuff I'm interested in than to go through a lot of trouble to snag individual issues as they come out. Particulary if it's a non- "Big Two" comic. And I'm discovering that I prefer reading comics in that format. The "Show up at your local shop every Wednesday to get your stack" model just doesn't work for everyone. There are vast areas of the American Flyover that don't have comic's shops, or that have poor ones. 2) Trade sales count. They have kept alive struggling books like DC's MANHUNTER (the one example I can think of off the top of my head, I'm sure there are others). It's not like buying a trade of something that came out in the last five years or so is a useless gesture. It's still profit for the company, and it tells them that there is interest in that character and/or creator.
On trades vs singles… since there are more than a few trade readers out there, including me, companies have to learn to build it into their model and not just treat trades as an afterthought to monthlies.
Companies should sell things in a format customers want.
Customers should not be told to buy products in a format the companies prefer.
"Only our colorist knows for sure."
I can see waiting for the trade with a lot of books, but I didn't understand it with Nextwave. I thought it read much better as a series of individual issues than it did in collected form.
Points about the difficulty of maintaining a shop subscription are well-taken, but what about online subscription services? Could those work for people who don't have access to good shops but want to buy single issues?
Not that my financial situation is anyone's business, but:
Why did I wait for the trades on Nextwave? Because I can not afford to buy comics regularly, and have not been able to since my son was born in December of '04. I get comics with gift certificates from holidays, and on the occasion that we have a little extra money. If I buy singles (which are not a economically viable option at 3 bucks a pop), it's because they're from a run I've been reading for awhile. The only books I buy in singles anymore are Casanova, Captain America, & Blue Beetle, and I'm at least an issue behind on the latter two books.
I do not appreciate being blamed for something that was truly beyond my control (i.e. Nextwave's cancellation). I love comics, but supporting and spending time with my family is *slightly* more important than supporting a comic book.

I understand your point. I myself live in a country that up until couple of years ago had no comic shop and buying comic books was a hard mission. But now we have two shops. My LCS (I use this term loosely, since its about 50 KM from my hometown; same goes for the competition) gets shipment twice a month while the other one recently moved from once in two weeks to once a week. Still, it never affected me as I always been to the store once a month to pick up my stuff. Now I don't have a pull-list due to personal problems and go the store whenever I can afford it.
Anyway, the arguement of "buy the monthly book or it'll be cancelled" is directed at those who can afford it and has access to the store.
Hey, if more people read Nextwave in trades, it can only be a good thing. Ellis likes his short runs anyway; it does well in trade, and we might have a mini-series on our hands, whenever Immonen can catch a break from Ultimate Spider-Man.
Hey, if they didn't want people to read trades then they wouldn't print 'em.
Personally, I don't find any of the Urban Legends revealed here too impressive. Mike Grell didn't like using the name Green Arrow? Matt Wagner didn't feel like reprinting his early work? Marvel changed a title for copyright reasons? Eh. I guess I expected better for the 150th issue of CBULR…
#150 is not a special number, is it?
#50, sure.
#100, okay.
#150, though…is that something?
Comics publishers seems to use every #50 mark as a special event. Sometimes even #25.
I love how these rumors get started in the first place, and then grow like weeds.
Regarding the trades/singles issue: yes, online comic retailers — and eBay as well — are great for tracking down individual issues or a small run, but then there's a shipping and handling charge as well… something book retailers don't charge if your order is over a certain value. And Borders, Barnes & Nobles, Chapters-Indigo, Amazon.… these national chains are much more accessible for most buyers than local comic shops — PLUS they offer discounts on cover price that local shops rarely do.
I know in my case, where the cost of most comics is $5 or more after tax, the discounts on trades for characters I don't have an absolute devotion to is a key attraction.
(Especially when my local comic shop doesn't understand the term "customer friendly.")
When I was a retailor back in the mid 90s, comic book special issues were typically #s 12, 24, 25, 30, 50, 60, 75, 100, 120, 125, etc.
Of course, this was the 90s, when any excuse for a special cover was good enough to qualify as "special".
I hate this perception some people have that we have some kind of duty to buy issues rather than trades. Here in England that would pretty much double the cost of my comics to give me a product that I don't like nearly as much. I'd be crazy to buy issues. Comic companies are more than wise to the fact that trades make up a sizeable part of the market so that argument hasn't held water for a long time.
"Denny did a similar thing in the Question. I don't think that any of the Denny issues call the character the Question either."
Good point. Alan Moore did it with The Phantom Stranger in his Swamp Thing run too. It still grates with me every time anyone uses the phrase "phantom stranger" in a comic. For me that's like calling Captain Marvel "The Power of Shazam".
Grell did use the name in his Green Arrow Secret Origins story and in the mini-series Green Arrow: The Wonder Year, along with a humorous explanation about how Ollie Queen got stuck with it. Grell basically used Ollie to express his distaste for what Grell called "a silly nameâ€.
Oh yeah, very possible.
Yep. In Comics Scene #1 from 1987, Grell talks about it in an article promoting the original Longbow Hunters series. I just dug out my copy of the issue to find the quote, and here it is:
"Reading the stories carefully, one finds that there is only one place, in the beginning, when he's first describing how he became what he is, where he is even referred to as 'Green Arrow.' It's extraneous — it's a silly name, and I decided I could live without it.. I haven't pointed that fact out to the editors yet, but I'm sure they'll notice. Nobody calls him 'Green Arrow' because it's not necessary if I do the stories right."
I don't think Nextwave would have found enough fans to keep it going. I read the first issue and while it was kind of funny it was funny in a way that tore down Marvel, in my opinion at least. It's sort of like this. "This book is hilarious, it makes fun of all the ridiculous stuff in Marvel."
"Oh, that ridiculous stuff that drives the plot of a lot of books you pay good money to read?"
Like it mocks the audience as wella s everything else.
>>> Wait a minute, has Nextwave wireless ever wanted to launch there own comic book line? If not, why the hell is there a problem? People will confuse the trademarks? Come on, give me a break.
Hell, if the World Wildlife Federation could sue the World Wrestling Federation over a conflict of initials with the implication that there would even REMOTELY be confusion between the two brands, nothing is safe.

Just thought I'd let you know that there's a conflict with Front-End Editor. When I'm logged into the site the buttons and url's appear separated and in a messy list not all lined up in a row.
Logged out, it's fine, so it's not really a problem for me or the viewer, but I'm doing a site for a client and it's going to upset them :).
Any thoughts? I may have to look for an alternative either way so everything plays nice.

Comments about Curvy StayShape® Stretch Twill Pants:
This is my second pair - needed another color. I wear them to the office. They fit great, don't wrinkle, wash well, and are comfortable. You can't ask for more than that!
Comments about Curvy StayShape® Stretch Twill Pants:
I wish all colors fit the same
Comments about Curvy StayShape® Stretch Twill Pants:
I will only buy Eddie Bauer curvy fit pants. It's the first time in my life (I'm 43) that I can buy pants that reliably fit. They are neither too short nor too long. They fit at the waist, hip and thigh. They fall straight and look professional for work. Except for the texture of the fabric seeping to attract fur and smudges (not an issue in my other versions of these pants), they are perfect.
Comments about Curvy StayShape® Stretch Twill Pants:
Nice fit, excellent quality. Picked these up for days when I need to really move around but still look professional.

"I love you" means the same thing in every language, so this year don't be afraid to wish loved ones a Happy Valentine's Day in Spanish. Creating bilingual cards is a great way to help Spanish-speaking people feel welcome and included in the festivities. This card can be used in school, at work or with your Spanish-speaking friends. All you need to make these adorable valentines is a few supplies from a craft store and a bit of creativity.
Popular Valentine's Day Phrases in Spanish
This Valentine's Day do not limit yourself to the rare Spanish valentines sold in stores. Go to a free translation website (http://ets.freetranslation.com/) to translate any phrase for a special valentine. Popular phrases you can use:
I love you (te amo).
Happy Valentine's Day (Feliz dia de San Valentin).
I love you with all my heart (Te amo con todo mi corazon).
Love and kisses (Con amor).
I miss you (Te extrano).
Creative Valentines: Picture Frame
To make a unique valentine this year, consider creating a picture frame instead of a traditional card. To make a picture frame, buy a plain wooden frame at a craft store for about $1. Paint the frame red, white or pink. When the coat of paint has dried, use a thin brush to paint on a Valentine's Day phrase in Spanish. Paint the message on the top or bottom of the frame. Decorate the rest of the frame with foam heart stickers. Print a picture of you and your sweetheart and put it in the frame.
Creative Valentines: Mystery Balloon Message
This valentine is perfect for a secret admirer or a fun-loving person. Buy a blank card. Cut out a small heart and glue it to the front of the card. Next, blow up a balloon and ask a friend to hold the open end so no air escapes. While the balloon is inflated, use a permanent marker to write a special Valentine's Day message in Spanish across the balloon. Allow the message to dry for about a minute before deflating the balloon. Rinse off the end of the balloon with water and soap, avoiding the marker message. Once the balloon is dry, place it in the card and slide the valentine into an envelope. When the recipient opens the card, have her blow up the balloon to read the Valentine's Day message!

Concise technical analysis and picks of the leading global ETFs
Stocks ended the session modestly lower yesterday on mixed trade. All of the major indices lost ground on the session. Once again the small-cap Russell 2000 demonstrated the most relative weakness as it dropped 0.6% on the day. The tech rich Nasdaq fell almost 0.5% while the S&P MidCap 400 shed 0.3%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 appear to have been the benefactors of a flight to quality as they slid a modest 0.2% and 0.1% respectively.
Market internals were mixed on Tuesday. Turnover was up 4% on the Nasdaq but down 1.3% on the NYSE. The spread ratio fell in favor of advancing volume by a factor of 1.1 to 1 on the NYSE. However, on the Nasdaq declining volume held the upper hand to advancing volume by a ratio of 1.3 to 1. The mixed market internals suggest an absence of institutional participation during yesterday's session.
UUP continues to consolidate above its 20-period EMA on the 60-minute chart since breaking out on Monday. This is the type of price action we look for as confirmation to the strength of a breakout move. IWM continues to exhibit relative weakness to the broad market as it closed near session lows. Further, for the second consecutive day the Russell 2000 has led the market lower.
We entered a new short position in the iShares Russell Microcap ETF (NYSEARCA:IWC) via an intraday alert yesterday. We liked the trade as a minor diversification from our position in IWM since IWC was showing signs of being the slightly weaker of the two. The 20-day EMA has clearly crossed below the 50-day MA on the daily chart of IWC while this is not yet the case with IWM. Trade details are available to our subscribers in the open positions segment of the newsletter.
Since selling off sharply and surrendering a key support level in early May, the Oil Service HOLDRs ETF (NYSEARCA:OIH) has been consolidating below its 20-day EMA. Yesterday, for the third time in four days, this ETF found resistance near this moving average. A loss of support at Tuesday's low or an "over cut" of the 20-day EMA followed by a quick reversal off this level could provide a shorting opportunity in this ETF. We are monitoring this trade carefully for a possible entry.
The broad market continues to struggle. It is noteworthy that both bank and international ETFs are being met with stiff resistance. We are looking for possible short entries into a bounce. As of this writing both the Nasdaq and S&P futures are trading modestly lower. Should this trend hold and/or strengthen we may look to cover some our short positions into weakness. We believe it is important to evaluate potential exit strategies in advance of the opening bell when a potentially favorable move involves a gap.

The national Liberal convention has opened in Montreal and a new poll finds that Canadians are slowly warming up to Justin Trudeau. 48 percent of Canadians surveyed by Ipsos Reid, feel that he is now ready to be Prime Minister. That's up 9 points since December. 54 percent say they share the values of Trudeau and the Liberal party when it comes to where Canada should be headed. That's also up 6 points from last December. His biggest gains in that area have been made in the provinces of Saskatchewan (+18) Alberta (+9) and Ontario (+6). Justin Trudeau has discussed controversial issues such as the legalization of marijuana and expelling Liberal Senators from the Liberal caucus. 60 percent of Canadians agree that his policies and ideas are innovative and forward thinking. That number is up 8 points, while a minority 40 percent, disagree. When asked which out of the 3 main party leaders do you trust the most, 38 percent said Justin Trudeau, while Prime Minister Harper followed with 31 percent, then NDP leader Tom Mulcair had 30. When participants were asked who would managed the country best through tough economic times, Prime Minister Harper leads with 43%, then Justin Trudeau at 30% and Tom Mulcair received 27%. When asked which of the 3 would provide an open, responsible and ethical government, Justin Trudeau pulled out in front with 37 percent, while PM Harper had 31 percent, and finally NDP leader Thomas Mulcair with 32 percent. The poll was conducted among 1,036 Canadians online, between February 14-19 for CTV NEWS.

The aging Celtics are in a real predicament entering the 2011-2012 season. As many have speculated, this could be the last stand for veterans like Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. Due to the money invested in Allen, Pierce, Garnett and Rondo, the team was only able to add less sexy veterans such as Keyon Dooling and Chris Wilcox.
To make matters worse, they recently lost their do-it-all young and promising forward Jeff Green for the season due to injury. What's left is an older Boston team that lacks real depth in this 66 game compressed schedule.
The current make up of the roster will have a tough time getting past the East's elite (Miami and Chicago). With very few trading pieces, Danny Ainge and the Celtics may be forced to deal their highly touted All Star point guard Rajon Rondo in an attempt to squeeze one more championship season out of the Big Three. In return, the Celtics will need depth (preferably on the perimeter) and a replacement for Rondo.
Here's five Rondo trades that could swing in Boston's favor for another championship run.

Kalimannu Movie - An Overlook
Blessy's much talked about movie Kalimannu was under the dark shade of controversies. The movie had shot the real baby delivering scene of Shweta Menon and Sreevalsan Menon.
The poster of the movie has been released shocking the audience. For those who were irritated and was against the theme of shooting the delivery will be more agitated to react to the poster. The poster is all about showing Biju Menon, who plays the husband of Shwetha in Kalimannu, trying to draw on the tummy of fully pregnant Shweta. Suniel Shetty will also be seen in the film.
The shooting of the delivery had created thunders, both in the film industry as well as in politics. Many leaders had reacted violently to the concept of shooting the delivery. All have only heard about the news of the shooting of the same, but no one knows how it's shot or how it's going to appear in the film. All the reactions are made just from the concept.
Now the poster is released and what the reactions will be, is just beyond words. Almost all social networking sites also treated the news as a festival. How people are going to take this poster is that matters now. More rage reactions are expected, but the film cast is asking to be patient till the movie gets released.

Hey guys
first of all thanks for the great plugin. It's really amazing!
I discovered a small issue:
When I move to another server, it messes with the protocol file directory.
It seems like the directory is setup in plain text during install and after moving to another server the entry is not valid anymore
For example my folder was:
After moving to another server (in this particular case it was only to another account)
there is this error:
- Protokolldateienordner '/var/www/clients/client4/web21/web/wp-content/backwpup-d7774-logs/' existiert nicht!
- Protokolldateienordner '/var/www/clients/client4/web21/web/wp-content/backwpup-d7774-logs/' ist nicht beschreibbar!
Its in German and just says that the directory does not exist and is not writeable
So I manually had to find out the directory and type it in:
After this error occurs, can you implement a function which automatically tries to fetch the server directory like during the first installation?

Top Ten Reasons to Eliminate Renewable Fuel Standards By Scott Alford
Government environmental regulations are actively working against each other, in the latest example of the unprecedented lack of leadership in the executive branch. The Obama White House and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have each imposed contradictory regulations upon the automobile and oil industries in an attempt to reduce fuel consumption yet increase renewable fuel production.
FINALLY, someone in the mainstream media covers the one aspect of the automotive fuel standards debate that almost everyone-- even most Republicans-- ignores: the inconvenient fact that smaller, lighter cars are more dangerous to drive.
Contact your congressman and tell them to stop flying first class on our dime.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has ushered in an era of deception and lawlessness.
Tell Republicans to end the special ObamaCare exemptions for Congress!

Tongue firmly in cheek by the way. As an outsider I enjoy visiting this forum. I always wondered where the dirty Leeds first originated from. It's certainly stuck but as you say it gives you a siege mentality. On the subject of yesteryears I watched the Norman Hunter, Franny Lee punch up on youtube the other day. Great entertainment haha.
