New/Old fanpics of Rob at Bel Ami Berlin Premiere + Fan Account
Fan Account:
So I won a trip from England to Berlin via The Twilight Saga UK Facebook page By posting a rather emabrrasing video of myself struggling to sumerise the movies so far in 60 seconds. I was told I had one 3 days before flying out to Berlin. Everything was manic. We had a day of getting used to being in Germany and then the next day it was the Berlinale.
17/02.2012 – Bel Ami Premiere (Berlinale 2012)
After heading on over to The Bel Ami junket to collect our bits, we headed back to our room to sort out ourselves, We had lunch, mooched through town and then headed to the Main Berlinale Venue. There was a band (no idea who they were but all the songs sounded the same) We went and stood over to one of the sides (which for some reason were empty) Other places had people already 3/4 people deep and waited for a while (around 3 hours) for Rob to arrive. He arrived at least 30 minutes before any of the other cast to make sure he could meet as many fans outside as possible.
He got out of the car and headed straight over to the side me and my friend were on. (AHHHH) When he finally got to me and Courtney, Courtney asked him to sign her Small Bel Ami card/Poster that a lady handed out to everyone. I then got a photograph, my friend then got a photograph. Then my friend realised her picture didn't actually take so she called him back to us and got another one and I too got my poster thing signed. Turns out that Germany can take the Essex out of a Girl because Courtney spoke ever so Queen like. The charm and manners seemed to work though so who's complaining. Once we had met Rob we thought we had better head inside to the screening so after trying to wade our way through the now 10+ people deep crowds we walked the red carpet and headed inside. It turns out we were sat with other Brits who found my general film knowledge to be very impressive.
After watching the rest of the Red Carpet arrivals and the cast signing their portraits that were on the walls inside the venue, everyone took their seats, The Cast walked in and Sat a row behind us (O.M.G), Rob's family were behind us and to the left. I have a feeling all the Brits got put near each other because we were sat right next to a few as well. The cast got up in turn and gave a wave to the audience. A lady introduced the film and the cast snuck out as the film began.
Once the film had finished and the credits had rolled (Film festival premieres are very different from general premieres), no one left me and Courtney (my friend) just sat starring at each other wondering what to do. The lights stayed down and the claps went on throughout the whole like 7 minute credits. Once the lights came up, The cast came on stage. The ladies recieved flowers and the announcer from before asked Rob a few Questions.
The premiere was so, so much calmer and more relaxed and smaller than anything I have ever experienced before. I really enjoyed it.

Breaking News
Indian boxing star takes dope test
- From: AAP
- April 04, 2013
INDIAN Olympic bronze-medallist boxer Vijender Singh has undergone dope tests as ordered by the government after police accused him of consuming heroin.
Vijender, who won bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, gave his blood and urine samples to the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) on Wednesday, sports minister Jitender Singh said.
The boxer had earlier refused to be tested by Punjab Police, who while investigating his links to an alleged dealer in a $US24 million ($A23 million) drug haul last month said Vijender had taken heroin 12 times.
The minister, who had on Monday requested NADA to carry out immediate tests on Vijender, said late on Wednesday that the tests were carried out successfully on blood and urine samples.
"I will wait for the results before deciding on any action. I don't want to speculate. But ... if Vijender has made a mistake, he should of course be punished or penalised," the minister was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India.
NADA officials declined to comment or say when the test results will be declared.
Police seized 26 kilograms of heroin with a street value of 1.3 billion rupees ($A23 million) in March in Punjab. The alleged dealer was arrested along with five others.
Vijender, himself a police officer in the neighbouring state of Haryana, was linked to the haul after a car belonging to his wife was found outside the residence of the alleged dealer near Chandigarh.
The 27-year-old boxer, who became a household name in India after winning the Olympic medal, has strongly denied any link to the drug dealer and has slammed as "ridiculous" the allegations against him.
The high-profile sportsman has not been seen in public for the past few weeks, but his close friend and sparring partner Ram Singh was arrested by the Punjab Police on Wednesday for what they said was "custodial interrogation".
The Punjab Police had on Monday announced Vijender had taken heroin 12 times and Ram Singh five times, but did not specify how they had reached this conclusion.

Like ordering sample parts over the web, without paying a fee or having a salesman contact you? If so, enjoy it while it lasts.
Facing an increase in Internet orders, a growing number of electronic component manufacturers and distributors are tightening up their sampling policies, charging for parts that a few years ago would have been free-like switches. Though they are inexpensive parts, often ranging from a few cents to a couple bucks, engineers often order several different types at once, thereby running up the bill significantly. Shipping charges can run up to $35 or more.
Free samples are still available, but the growing number of requests for them over the web is prompting a closer look at who's getting them and how many units they receive. Both E-Switch and NKK Switches of America Inc. ship roughly 500 sample orders out each month. "That's nearly doubled since we began offering samples on the Web," says John Benson, Sr., marketing and sales vice president at E-Switch, a switch manufacturer headquartered in Brooklyn Park, MN.
Most samples are shipped free of charge, but now not without some form of vetting to ensure there is the potential for a high-volume contract. Both companies are struggling to come up with a way of identifying and charging so-called gadget freaks.
Omron Electronics Inc., a Schaumburg, IL-based component manufacturer, used to give samples to customers who asked for them or when it had new technology it wanted to promote. But a couple years ago, when Omron added the Omron Sample Store to its on-line catalog, that changed.
"We charge for samples ordered on the Web," says Mark Lewis, E-commerce manager at Omron. He explained that charges are levied since the parts aren't handled through conventional channels, where costs could be more easily absorbed.
It's a small, but growing, trend. Charging for samples is still rare, even at Omron, where Internet orders only account for 5-10% of the samples shipped each month. Samples ordered through Omron's traditional sales channels are generally shipped for free.
Established customers aren't likely to see any changes, but newcomers, startups, and engineers who want anonymity are finding that it's not always possible to simply type their request on the screen, hit send, then wait for a shipment.
"Most engineers will say it's getting tougher to get samples," says Art Pierard, sales and marketing vice president at Mouser Electronics Inc., an electronics distributor based in Mansfield, TX. While Web ordering still helps engineers avoid contacting a salesman, that convenience is quickly being offset by requests to register, additional charges, and even calls to engineers to verify that there is potential for high-volume business.
Though the clamps are tightening, Internet ordering of samples continues apace. "Sampling and prototype activity remains very strong. There's a lot of design activity out there," says Steven Tsukichi, marketing vice president at Digi-Key Corp.
Some manufacturers are trying to reduce the number of sample and prototype shipments they process themselves by turning them over to distributors. It costs nearly as much to process and prepare a shipment with a few samples as it does to handle a good-sized order. And shipping charges can run anywhere from $16 to $35 per order, says Lewis. Some manufacturers simply don't want to mess with too many small orders.
"We do shift small orders (under 50 or so) to distributors," says Kiyoko Toyama, president of NKK, a Japanese switch manufacturer headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ. The company currently averages 500 to 600 Internet orders for switch samples per month and says it's not cost effective to handle them all.
Many distributors will offer free shipping, but they're much more likely than manufacturers to charge for the parts themselves. But distributors note that even when engineers pay single-unit prices, inventory and handling for a couple switches is likely to turn the order into a losing proposition.
So why do companies bother with samples at all? Easy: Samples are the lifeblood of the business, leading to long-term contracts.

Maybe this had something to do with it:
summer of 2007, by far the biggest contract he has received during his
NBA career. But the last year wasn't fully guaranteed. So when the
Kings waived him, there went $4 million.
Ah… bingo. I'd be crying about the move too if it cost me $4 million.
Can you imagine paying $4 mil. for the level of play we saw at the end of last year? Wow.

First Star – Carl Crawford (.243)
Second Star – J.P. Howell (.194)
Third Star – Kosuke Fukudome
Turd of the Game – Carlos Zambrano (-.269)
Those are the words of my 2 year old when he encounters something he isn't a fan of. I thought they were appropriate words given the fact that we're in danger of losing three straight for the first time tomorrow if we don't start playing better against these Rays. Once again we had a chance late but couldn't quite get it done.Carlos Zambrano this just wasn't your night. Six innings of work and a less than desirable line of 5 runs, 3 BB, and 7 hits. Yuck. Not quite what we would have hoped for from the two pitchers we're counting on to be 1-2 in the rotation in Z and Demp. Neither were particularly awful, but they were not exactly top of the rotation worthy either. I had a good idea that would be the case when Z had a rough first hitter. He fell behind 2-0 to Iwamura and then battled back to 2-2 only to throw two straight outside the zone prompting an angry catch by Zambrano on the throw back from Geo. He has those mini tantrums every once in a while and it's never a good sign for the future. Oh and by the way, the stupid cramps strike again. GRRRRRR.
The Mark DeRosa is not an outfielder award goes to….Mark DeRosa.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. DeRosa, as much as I love the guy, is not an everyday outfielder and should not be out there with the regularity that he is. In the first inning he ran down an easy play and had the ball go off his glove, allowing Akinori Iwamura to score. Had that been Matt Murton who made that error it would have been the end of his tenure with the team, regardless of if they are trying to showcase him or not. What I can't understand is why, if we really are trying to showcase Murton for a trade, are we not starting him as often as possible in Soriano's absence? We call up Eric Patterson on two separate occasions this year only to demote him after a few days in favor of Murton. Then, we call up Murton and spot start him. Sometimes the moves we make internally just confuse the heck out of me.
Evan Longoria has really impressed me with his defensive play in the series. Tonight, in the first three innings alone he made two nice plays. One to start a 5-4-3 DP and another to get Zambrano as he had to make an off-balance throw. I know coming into the year, as a Rays fan, that Longoria would be the real deal with the bat, but I hadn't realized how good his glove was. I saw him play last year in AA and was impressed with what I saw then. He seemed like a man among boys at that level and had a good interview presence about him when I talked with him after the game. Keep your eye on this kid because he's going to be a good one.

MOBILE, Alabama - Wednesday was a long night for the South Alabama baseball team at Stanky Field. The Jaguars dropped their Sun Belt Conference tournament opener 8-4 to UT Arlington in a game that didn't start until 8:55 p.m.
Three hours, seven minutes later, after USA pitchers walked 10 and hit two, the seventh-seeded Jags had their eighth loss in the past nine games and faced a 12:30 p.m. elimination game against third-seeded Arkansas State on Thursday.
"Ten walks and two hit by pitches - that will get you every time with the second-leading hitting team in the league," USA coach Mark Calvi said. "You give away 12 free bases, that's how you outhit somebody and lose. ... You give them opportunities, and they take advantage of them."
UT Arlington plays sixth-seeded Troy at 7:30 p.m. Friday. South Alabama plays third-seeded Arkansas State in an elimination game at 12:30 p.m. Thursday. The Trojans upended the Red Wolves 4-3 in 13 innings on Wednesday, even after blowing a two-run lead in the bottom of the ninth.
In posting their eighth straight victory, the Mavericks (31-25) plated six of their runs with four doubles. The first run came when Greg McCall walked and J.M. Twitchell followed with a double to the right-center fence in the second. The second run was an instant replay in the third: Ryan Bottger walked and Matt Shortall, the SBC's doubles leader, doubled to the right-center fence.
UT Arlington stretched the lead to 4-0 in the fourth on consecutive singles by Darien McLemore, Travis Sibley and Derek Miller, then doubled that advantage in the fifth. Twitchell was hit by the Jags' second pitcher, James Traylor, Levi Scott bunted for a hit and McLemore walked to load the bases. Sibley doubled into the left-field corner to score all three, then came home on Eric Tate's double down the right-field line.
Trailing 8-0, South Alabama (22-32) took advantage of an error to make some noise in the top of the sixth. With Connor Hawthorne on first with two outs, Sibley, the UT Arlington shortstop, let Cameron Cummings' grounder go through his legs. Daniel Milliman walked Davis Knapp to load the bases before giving way to Chase Weaver. USA's No. 9 hitter, Drew LaBounty, delivered a flare down the right-field line to plate two runs, and Garrett DeGallier doubled to left to bring in a third run.
LaBounty had three hits, and Cole Gleason doubled twice, walked twice and singled for USA. The Jags outhit the Mavs 11-9 in the game.
Gleason doubled with one out in the ninth, and UT Arlington third baseman Eric Tate kept the game going by letting Erik Hindmon's grounder go through his legs. Hayden Jones lined an RBI single to center off new pitcher Jacob Moreland, who walked Cummings to load the bases and bring the potential tying run to the plate after USA reliever Matt Bell had come through with 3.2 innings of scoreless relief. But Moreland retired Knapp on a comebacker to end the game.
"Our guys battled extremely hard," Calvi said. "We gave them too many free passes. Our guys haven't quit all year long. It's been well-chronicled what we've been through -- different guys in and out of the lineup. One thing I know for sure is our guys come and they play hard and they give me their best effort. Tonight, we didn't do the most important part of the game correctly, and that was pitch."
UT Arlington has won all four of its meetings with USA this season.
In Thursday's other games, fifth-seeded Western Kentucky plays eight-seeded Louisiana-Monroe at 9 a.m. in an elimination game. Top-seeded Louisiana-Lafayette plays fourth-seeded Texas State at 4 p.m. In Wednesday's other games, Texas State downed Western Kentucky 4-3 in 10 innings after scoring three runs in the bottom of the ninth with the help of four walks and a hit batter, and Louisiana-Lafayette defeated Louisiana-Monroe 7-3.
USA will start Locke St. John on the mound Thursday against Arkansas State. The left-hander pitched seven shutout innings against Arkansas State in a 5-0 USA victory on April 11.

TPC Snoqualmie Ridge welcomes Boeing Classic
The grandstands around the TPC Snoqualmie Ridge golf course's 18th hole were empty as a few golfers sunk their final putts just a few days before the PGA's 2009 Boeing Classic tournament arrived. Part of the golf course's parking lot had already been taken over by tents, trailers and supplies in preparation for the weeklong event, which is expected to draw between 45,000 and 60,000 spectators.
Set up has been going seven days a week since late July to prepare the necessary bleachers, skyboxes, concession stands and other temporary structures dotting the sprawling green course. Preparation for this year's tournament really began the minute the last one ended and had to cover everything from construction to marketing to transportation to organizing around 950 volunteers for the charity event.
"There's a lot of different pieces to this big puzzle," said Joe Sirlin, who's in charge of the event's logistics.
At least 1,200 people are involved in putting on the tournament this year, which will feature 78 professional golfers chasing a $1.2 million purse.
"That's including everyone who drives a truck on site, anyone involved in construction" and a small army of volunteers, Sirlin said.
As operations manager, he's one of the tournament's two year-round employees. Technically, he works for Virginia Mason's Heart Institute, which sponsors the event.
A charity tournament, the Boeing Classic donates all profit to the community. In its first four years, it's raised $2.7 million for the Heart Institute and other local groups, including North Bend's Encompass.
Private sponsors, including the Boeing Corporation and the Seattle Seahawks, are vital to providing a well-produced tournament, Sirlin said.
Securing sponsors for the next tournament is one of the first things he and tournament's director Michelle DeLancy do after the event's end.
Vendors have to be found. Parking and transportation have to be arranged. Players need help with travel arrangements and accommodations. Facilities for media have to set up. Sounds systems have to be placed.
The week of the Boeing Classic is even more hectic for Sirlin and DeLancy.
Inclement weather can quickly overturn schedules, pushing tee times up or back, but the tournament's organizers aren't blind when it comes to the weather.
"We have some very educated folks here with the PGA... from agronomy to dealing with the weather," he said.
If the weather turns bad, PGA officials make the call on whether to change the schedule or even pull players and fans off the course if lightning develops.
"It's all driven by the event play," Sirlin said.
City of Snoqualmie officials have their own preparation work to do for the Boeing Classic.
The city had to inspect and approve all temporary structures on the course, and extra police officers are scheduled to work during the tournament.
Planning for temporary structures on a rolling golf course isn't easy.
"We have nothing that is level out there," said Dan Thomason, head of Snoqualmie's building department.

A heated debate erupted among commenters on the justification for the chase. Here's what they said.
"This all stemmed from a domestic violence situation in the parking lot of the Police Department. If that was the case, there was obviously a victim at the police station who could identify the subject, and the police could have let the guy go (keeping this chase and the deaths from occurring), sign a warrant, and pick him up later that night or the next day. This chase was unnecessary, and two people died because of it...there are time when a chase is warranted...this is not one of those times" -- eastbayblu
"The fact is that Reid was well-known in the town. Even if the cop who chased Reid did not know him personally, he could've gotten the plate and picked him up later without endangering the lives of innocent citizens." -- AngryBiker
"Criminals are at fault for their criminal acts. If he had not committed domestic violence, if he had not run from police, this would not have happened." -- BattleRed
"T. R. Miller class of '05, Coach Rotch was a good man who genuinely cared about the success of the students. He wasn't always understood but he was always respected. May God give his family and Brewton peace in dealing with this great loss." -- back2God
"A high speed chase should be based on the same criteria as deadly force...there should be an immediate danger to someone. That doesn't appear to be the case here. Very, very sad...esp for the two year old boy who will never know his father. Condolences to all involved." -- chad4bama29
"The criminal can still go 120 mph no matter how fast the cops go. Do you think he would suddenly slow down to the speed limit if they weren't on his tail? Don't try to blame this on the cops. Pull over and take your punishment like a man." -- timmig
"I'm not blaming the police. Wait a minute. I am blaming the police. Two people died as a result of this. High speed pursuits most of the time ends with someone dying or being critically injured. Once the police have a tag number or have identified the runner, back off and get him later. If this was a terrorist, murder suspect, escaped convict or bank robber, I could see justification for the high-speed pursuit, but a domestic violence offense? Come on! This makes absolutely no sense." -- Team Bob
"The chase had been going on for under 3 minutes, and the driver was going 120 mph. The policeman was trailing from 100 yards, he had already backed off and was following from a safe distance. God bless Mr. Reid and his family but like others have said, the police officer wasn't pressing the gas pedal for him or turning into oncoming traffic. But because of Mr. Reid, this officer will have to live with seeing this horrible tragedy for years. My prayers go out to the Rotch family. Put the blame where it belongs, not on the man that puts his life on the line everyday to protect the people of Brewton. It could have just as easily been the police officer that could have been killed thanks to Mr. Reids actions. High speed chases may be to blame for the death but whether you are for or against, this officer is under no blame. Trailing a car going 120 from 100 yards is more than enough caution for such a short chase. Thank a police officer next time you see one for protecting your family and community." -- bamasthumb
"Complex issue. I do not necessarily see a felony here. If the victim was
at the police station and not in medical care, was it REALLY a felony?
Felony is the standard of pursuit in most jurisdictions. Another
question, do you personally know any cops? I refuse to ride with off
duty cop friend. he scares me too bad. RIP and there is no good here I
can see." -- TinFoilHatGuy

The Mancurian Candidates
No, this headline is not missing an "H" as in the famous novel/film involving brain washing, The Manchurian Candidate. Mancurians are the residents of Manchester, UK. This prize winning play, by talented Rover contributor Jim Burke, an émigré from Manchester, has a local slang that presents a new challenge to those of us who, having finally mastered Irish and Scottish inflections, have to master these. The colourful expressions in the play are explained in the glossary on the back of the program.
Viewers will not be confused by these interjections, however, as the show moves right along. The script is taut, the actors superb, the set appropriate, the direction clever.
Howard Rosenstein (fresh from Kafka's Ape) is the heavy, a life time corner man to boxing exhibitions. Christopher Moore (hot off Oroonoko) is the younger apprentice, who "loves this job," best he ever had.
The Infinitheatre's retrofitted swimming pool (which hosted David Sherman's 2011 Joe Louis) is a perfect setting. They already had the boxing ring (square?) and posts available.
Paul Van Dyck's direction, it seemed to me, added even more subtle improvements to the Canadian premiere (same actors) he had helmed two years ago at the Theatre Ste. Catherine. Mr. Moore's athleticism alone is worth the admission price.
In tone, you get a hint of Pinter's impending outside menace, Mamet's crudities and Hitchcock's plot twists. Upon reflection, the cross purposes of the characters do relate, after all, to a sort of poor man's version of brain washing, as with the MancHurians

As a result, State Police from the Bridgeton barracks arrested two Shiloh men and charged them with burglarizing a home, stealing a refrigerator and a stove, and then attempting to sell the items for scrap at a Quinton scrap yard.
Neighbors of the Hopewell Township home saw the theft taking place as the appliances were being loaded into a silver Chevy pickup and called the State Police, authorities said.
With detailed information about the burglary in progress, troopers learned that they were looking for two men, later identified as Raymond Bechard, 24, and Frank Schwegal, 23, both of Shiloh. They also learned that the two suspects were in a 2000 Chevy Silverado.
Within minutes, police said, the Bridgeton troopers learned that the vehicle the burglary suspects were seen in was parked in front of Salem County Recycling, located in Quinton Township. Troopers from the Bridgeton and Woodstown Stations arrived on scene and observed the silver Chevy pickup truck.
After an investigation at the scene, Trooper James O'Rourke arrested Bechard and Schwegal in connection to the burglary.
Bechard was found to have a glass pipe in his rear pocket, suspected to be used to smoke crack cocaine. All stolen property was recovered.
Bechard and Schwegal were transported to Bridgeton station for processing.
Both Bechard and Schwegal were charged with burglary, theft of movable property and dealing in stolen property.
Bechard was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and being under the
Bridgeton Station Commander Lt. James Meyers credits the calls from residents with helping to solve this case.
"Once again, the courageous actions of local residents gave us the information needed to quickly make these burglary arrests," said Meyers.
"We always encourage area residents to report any suspicious activity.

NEWARK — A federal judge in New Jersey has ruled that a case against four California men charged with a massive online ticket fraud can continue.
Kenneth Lowson, Kristofer Kirsch, Faisal Nahdi and Joel Stevenson face charges that include conspiracy, wire fraud and unauthorized computer access. The wire fraud charges carry 20-year maximum sentences.
The four and their company, Wiseguy Tickets, allegedly developed a program that could fool Web pages that require purchasers to type in a sample word to continue. Prosecutors say the quartet bought and sold more than a million tickets and made profits of more than $29 million.
Attorneys today sought to dismiss the indictment, arguing the four violated websites' terms of use but didn't break federal law.

Restaurant writer Brett Anderson has slipped his old, familiar restaurant critic's hat back onto his head. The time is finally right for the city and for him to bring back the beans. This week, he waxes on about the rich, brown gumbos and crumbly, crisp French breads at Mr. B's Bistro, one of the spots in the city that has recovered and feels much they way it did before the storm and floods.
Read his essay and review and then weigh in with your own thoughts at www.nola.com/dining (Dining, Page 32).
In Gentilly, there are still haunting reminders of that flood. Artists are attempting to call attention to and uplift still-ravaged communities with projects such as "Field Guide," which is a mural of more than 5,000 birds on the driveway of the old Milne Boys Home (The Arts, Page 14).
Local guitarist Jimmy Robinson has released his first solo recording, "Vibrating Strings," and holds a CD release party tonight at Carrollton Station (Music, Page 18). He performs a free show Saturday at the Louisiana Music Factory.

To the Journal editor:
For more than two years, we have operated under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Prior to passing this legislation, we heard many scare stories. These stories have failed to come true.
Instead of scare stories, we have the following benefits in our First Congressional District of Michigan:
For the members of the Upper Peninsula Children's Coalition, the most important part of the ACA is that it works to help parents and children.
Young adults are the most likely people in our society to have small children. They are also the people most likely to not have access to health care through an employer. ACA allows young adults to stay on their parents' health insurance until age 26.
ACA prohibits insurance companies from denying coverage to children because of preexisting conditions and extends funding for the critical MIChild program.
The Upper Peninsula Children's Coalition urges members of the public to support the ACA. The program is working to help our neighbors. If it were to be repealed now, it would be devastating to families, children and struggling small businesses in Michigan.
Thank you.
Margaret A. Olesnavage

Graeme's 2010 Guilty Pleasure: Justice League of America
Posted by: Graeme McMillan on December 28, 2010
Categories: Reviews
Tags: DC, Graeme, James Robinson, Justice League of America
Apropos of nothing, I re-read James Robinson's run to date on JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA over the weekend – in part because I hadn't read the latest issue by that point, and wanted to remind myself of what was happening before I did – and, as I did so, I realized two things. Firstly, it's actually a book that I've come to really love, despite itself. And secondly, I can completely understand why that "despite itself" might be such a problem for everyone else.
Let's get this out of the way first of all: Robinson's JLA is very, very different from his Justice League: Cry For Justice. It's not as overwrought or, thankfully, as overwritten, and tonally it's much lighter and more constructive than the mini that preceded it. In fact, one of the things that I like about it is how much it's contributed to the DCU, whether it's a new German superteam (The Elite Guard, who are apparently using repurposed Rocket Red technology) or a new magical society on the dark side of the moon, ruled by the golden age Green Lantern. He's also brought in STAR Labs for the first time in a long time, it seems like, and uses forgotten or underused characters like Naiad, Josiah Power or Sebastian Faust in a way that feels less like Easter Egg cameos but something more organic, and I really enjoy that – That he makes JLA into a book that's somehow bigger than the team itself, and more of a book about the DC Universe.
It's something that spills into the story arcs, which skew towards the epic wherever possible: Something is destroying the multiverse! Something is causing all the people with environmental superpowers to go insane! There's an ambition to what Robinson's trying to do, and it really appeals to me. So much so, in fact, that it allows me to overlook the (admittedly, fairly obvious) problems with the book. For one thing, there's the scattered nature of the plotting – Less so now, thankfully, but the first six issues of Robinson's run was marked by some amazingly disjointed plots and two complete overhauls to the team's line-up, one happening midway through the third issue of the new line-up and essentially happening off-panel with little explanation. Presumably, a lot of that was editorially mandated (Even if some of it makes little sense: Cyborg was seemingly written out to go… nowhere?), and a plot that started his run took two issues off before continuing for three issues before disappearing for another six issues.
There's also the issue of the art. JLA has been a book that's historically never really worked artistically for me since maybe Adam Hughes' JLI run way back when (with the exception of Doug Mahnke's art in the last run), and viewed in that continuum, Mark Bagley's art is definitely better than Ed Benes' or Howard Porter: Characters are in proper human proportion, and page layouts are clear and understandable. But – and this may be inking, in part – there's a generic quality to the faces, and everyone looks about seventeen years old. Which, you know, works great on Ultimate Spider-Man, but not so much here. Things aren't likely to get better with Bagley's departure, as Brett Booth – one of the few comic artists whose work I'd honestly classify as ugly – is set to take over as regular penciller. I hope it'll surprise me, but I'm not holding my breath.
I know that I should classify JLA as a guilty pleasure: I'm well aware that it has large flaws, but there's something about its spirit and ambition, about its sense of fun, that makes me love it nonetheless. Much like the equally-flawed-yet-addictive X-Men Forever, it's something that I find myself looking forward to, and wanting more of as soon as I'm finished with each issue. Objectively, I know that it's probably only Okay, but for whatever reason, I wouldn't feel right calling it any less than Good.
Coming up next: My 2010 Guilty Non-Pleasure.
18 Responses to " Graeme's 2010 Guilty Pleasure: Justice League of America "
The art issues on JLA have always been handicap for the series. I'm with you on the idea that Robinson's writing has been good on this, but the inability to find the right artist for the book kills me; the Bat offices seem one of the only places in the DCU that they can keep a good health bench of artists.
Here's a question for you, Chris: Which artist, currently at DC, would work for you on JLA? I've been racking my brains, and I'm not sure I can come up with an answer. Which may speak to DC's problem in general…
Justice League is a franchise with historical art problems for whatever reason. It has a roster of artists that reads like a roll call of serviceable journeymen with the occasional, brief star turn.
Exactly. DC seems to be going for "bland" with the art on so many of their books. I'm all for a house style if that style is something exciting or pretty… but bland sure isn't something to shoot for. There are very few artists doing DC books right now that really catch my attention. Francis Manapul on Flash… but his books tend to be slow to come out. Sami Basri on Power Girl has a really fresh look. Is it right for the Justice League? I'm not sure… but I could be convinced. Giffen is always fun as an artist. And always on time. Send him off the Outsiders and put him on JLA.
I'm right with you on the art problems. I've never been a Bagley fan and have been ignoring Justice League (and the rest of the DCU, aside from Grant's Batman). Recently, I read that Robinson would be bringing back the classic Eclipso for a big storyline. That's something that would get me to at least flip through an issue at the store, but not with Brett Booth on art. I'm at a loss for why he's getting what should be (but often isn't, unfortunately) a very high profile assignment. It can't be mid-90s Stormwatch nostalgia (right?), and the Anita Blake books are directed at an entirely different audience (who, I'd imagine, are more likely to overlook mediocre art out of loyalty to the central character). That said, I really can't think of a top flight artist who can consistently put out a monthly book and isn't currently under contract with Marvel. DC has lost some great superhero artists in recent years (Ed McGuinness, Carlos Pacheco & Dale Eaglesham come to mind). They should try to steal back someone like Chris Bachalo or Phil Jimenez. I'd also like to see Cliff Chiang on a series again.
Jim – Jiminez is back with DC and on a monthly book as of… next month, I think? Maybe February? He's going to be doing Adventure Comics with Paul Levitz.
That's what I get for not having scanned through the upcoming solicitations yet. Well, good for DC (and Jiminez). As Murray said, they've settled for bland far too often as of late; this is a step in the right direction.
Patrick Gleason would be good on JLA. I actually thought Porter's run was seminal.
Here's a question for you, Chris: Which artist, currently at DC, would work for you on JLA? I've been racking my brains, and I'm not sure I can come up with an answer.
Phil Jiminez is ideal. Not sure what they're doing with George Perez at the moment. Or Jerry Ordway either. I think Nicola Scott would be perfect too; better with Robinson on JLA than Krul on Titans, really. Dan Jurgens is better than Booth too, come to think of it…
Last round of solicitations, I went through specifically looking for artists DC has on monthlies that I like better than Booth and who AREN'T doing best-selling books (Paquette, Mahnke, Gleason), and here's what I came up with: Howard Porter, Francis Manapul, Frazier Irving, Amy Reeder, Andy Clarke, Dustin Nguyen, Keith Giffen, Bernard Chang, Pete Woods, Chris Batista, Francis Portela,Moritat, Tom Derenik, Scott Kolins, Freddie Williams II, Kevin Maguire or Jamal Igle.
I like Bagley's work though; I think JLA looks better now than it has since…well, since it got a new #1, really.
Nicola Scott would be perfect.
But is Kevin Maguire doing a monthly? I'd love to see him back on the Justice League (especially with the honing of his skills between JLI and Formerly Known As), but I'd love to see his work virtually *anywhere.*
I'll agree with the notion that Porter's run was great, but I can totally see why it might not have worked for some. (I think it took me a little while to warm to it myself, with all the weird anatomy, strange acting, and the often-bizarre panel layouts that necessitated even more bizarre mise-en-scene arrangements.)
At any rate, the mere mention of Eclipso makes me want to go on and continue ignoring the current JLoA. And for reasons that are probably completely stupid, the plenitude of gorilla-themed characters sort of bothers me in a universe where Gorilla City exists.
Well, Maguire's not doing 22 pages per month, but he'll be doing a comic story a month (ten pages, maybe?) starting…whenever the new Weird Worlds series starts.
I tried giving the comic a chance but one of the reasons I began buying it was due to the initial line up, and when they gave me the bait and switch I decided to drop it. When I have to pay $3.99 a month for comics I have expectations and when the writers and/or editors pull a fast one on me I am not very forgiving.
the art gives JLA a made-for-TV movie or direct-2-video vibe. not good.
DC could cover a multitude of sins with more judicious use of good artists.
"When I have to pay $3.99 a month for comics I have expectations and when the writers and/or editors pull a fast one on me I am not very forgiving."
It was $3.99 for 30 pages of story, as opposed to 22. You weren't getting ripped off on a strictly price-to-page-number basis.
As for quality, that's a different matter.
[…] I have read the worst comic I have ever readCorey Dvorkin on Arriving 12/29/2010Michael Aronson on Graeme's 2010 Guilty Pleasure: Justice League of AmericaNorman on Graeme's 2010 Guilty Pleasure: Justice League of AmericaTom on Graeme's 2010 […]
After the drubbing Robinson took on "Cry/Gay for Justice," nice to hear I'm not the only one enjoying the book. There's very good Robinson (early/mid Starman, The Golden Age) and not so good (WildCATS)and this seems to be falling toward the better for me. Maybe the cast rotations are annoying for some, I enjoy the seemingly routine shakeups. Bagley is serviceable and will miss him. I'd say Hitch was a good JLA artist who might have helped, there should be plenty of fine artists who could do it right. Fingers crossed on Booth.
Thanks, Caleb! I didn't know that series existed/will exist. Cool. (I've recently been working through the years' worth of EDILW, by the way. Always fun.)

In response to a Plain Dealer story reporting that Ohio's median income rates have dropped while poverty levels remain constant, cleveland.com user mojolounge posts:
Given that Ohio income is down while rates of poverty remains the same means one thing to me: People that are being hired are, in the aggregate, getting lower paying jobs than the ones lost over the past 11 years since 2000 when Ohio was 19th in income nationally. Neither Bush nor Obama nor Romney could change the income trends that are a direct result of economic globalization.

MOBILE, Alabama — The Mobile Optimist Club honored its Basketball Players and Coaches of the Year during its regular club meeting at the Admiral Semmes Hotel on Thursday.
Three players — Blount's Divine Myles, Theodore's Dazon Ingram and McGill-Toolen's TJ Lang — were honored as the Class 6A Players of the Year.
Myles led Blount to the Class 6A state championship game against Mountain Brook. He has signed with Stetson. Ingram, a junior, led Theodore in scoring with 20 points a game and averaged 9.4 rebounds, seven assists and two steals a game. Lang, a four-year starter, was All-Mobile County and All-Region last season last season. He has signed with Virginia Tech.
Faith Academy's James Davis, St. Paul's Tre' Williams, and B.C. Rain's Tyler French shared Class 5A Player of the Year honors.
Davis, who was played a big part in Faith Academy winning a school record 29 games — including 24 in a row — was described by his coach, John Price, as one who "put the team on his back late in the season." Williams, who signed to play football at Auburn, led St. Paul's in rebounding and was the Saints' leading scorer. French, a junior, was a center/forward on this year's team and was a dominant force in the paint.
UMS-Wright's Blake Admire was the Class 4A Player of the Year. Admire averaged 21 points, seven rebounds, two steals and two assists a game. The Class 1A-3A Player of the Year, Matthew Scelsi of Cottage Hill Christian Academy, was a four-year starter for the Warriors and led his team in scoring.
Price was chosen as the Mobile Optimist Club's Class 5A Coach of the Year. Class 6A Coaches of the Year were Baker's Jeb Blackerby, Theodore's Phillip Roebling and Blount's Jeffery Pope.
Cottage Hill Christian's Adam Thomas was honored as the Class 1A-3A Coach of the Year while UMS-Wright's Jimbo Tolbert was the Class 4A Coach of the Year.

Book Report: Gone Girl
This story is like an onion, and it's so much fun peeling back the layers. It took me a little while to get into the book, but then I devoured it after the plot twist in the middle. From that point on, I absolutely loved it...until the end.
The ending is what everyone who reads this book wants to talk about. I don't want to give spoilers, but I wasn't thrilled. However, I think any ending would have been controversial given just how crazy these characters are
There is a movie version coming out this October. You'll definitely find me in the theatre, reliving this gripping story. Plus, I heard the ending will be different.
6 comments:
I am OBSESSED with Gone Girl and so so so excited for the movie. You might like some of Gillian Flynn's other books; Sharp Objects was really good too!ReplyDeleteReplies
I've heard that her other books are even better, so I'll definitely have to check them out!Delete
Such a good book, but I completely agree with you about the ending! I'm so curious to see how the decide to do it in the movie!ReplyDelete
You basically had the same experience with this book that I did. I'm curious to see how the movie goes.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm really curious how they'll end the movie. As much as I disliked the ending of the book, I kind of feel like it was the only way it could've ended, you know?Delete
I loved Gone Girl, I basically read it in a day while at work (shhh). Such flawed, fascinating characters. I can't wait to see what the movie does with the ending!ReplyDelete

Today, Your Legal Corner will provide information regarding "Recreational Boating Laws and Accidents."
There is nothing more wonderful than spending an afternoon with family and friends on the water. Here, relaxation and laughter abounds. Yet we know tragedy can strike even within the best of times, so it is important to be mindful of boating laws and how to respond in the event an accident does occur.
According to the American Red Cross, 350,000 people are injured each year in boating accidents. Factors which contribute to boating accidents include inexperience, careless operation, poor weather conditions, defective safety equipment or poor planning. However, the majority of recreational boating accidents involve alcohol intoxication.
New Jersey law prohibits anyone from operating any vessel while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. A person is considered to be under the influence of alcohol if he or she has a blood or breath alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or more, or is under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances or drugs to the degree that he or she is not able to operate the vessel safely. By boating on New Jersey waters, all boat operators have given an implied consent to police to perform an alcohol or drug test.
Those convicted of operating a vessel under the influence are subject to penalties. If the person has a BAC of 0.08% or more but less than 0.10%, the person may receive a fine of up to $400, loss of boating privileges for a year and loss of their driver's license for three months. For a BAC of 0.10 or more, or the person was found to be under the influence of other drugs, a fine of up to $500, loss of boating for one year and loss of vehicle license for seven to 12 months may be imposed.
Depending on the nature of the incident, even greater penalties are available under the confines of New Jersey law. To stay safe, don't drink and boat.
Yet, how should you proceed if you are an injured party as a result of the actions of another? In personal injury cases, it is imperative to show that another party's negligent actions caused your injuries. This is accomplished only by gathering evidence and finding witnesses.
Boating accidents, by their nature, are difficult to document. Should you become involved in a boating accident, radio for help and once everyone is safe, take pictures and secure the name, address, email, phone number of all who witnessed the accident as well as the parties implicated. Insurance information should be exchanged between the parties at this time as well. Document the time, location and weather conditions. Seek out medical attention to support any injuries.
The person who caused the boating injury may be held accountable for current and future medical expenses related to the injuries sustained at the accident, as well as damages to your boat, personal property, lost wages and pain and suffering.
Because accidents that happen on the water are governed by maritime law, find a personal injury lawyer who is knowledgeable with state, federal, maritime and admiralty laws. Understanding these laws and how they apply will maximize your chances for a successful recovery in a boating accident. Carpe Diem my friends!

U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval Jr. was unsparing in his condemnation of the Army Corps of Engineers, handing down a ruling Wednesday that faults the agency's mismanagement of the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet for catastrophic flooding in St. Bernard Parish and the Lower 9th Ward after Hurricane Katrina.
This ruling only affects a small number of plaintiffs -- three people and one business. More than 100,000 residents, businesses and local governments filed claims against the corps after Katrina, however, and that makes Judge Duval's decision significant even though the corps is talking about taking appeals all the way to the Supreme Court. That will play out over time.
But Judge Duval's harsh words provide something beyond the possibility of damages: they offer vindication. What happened in Hurricane Katrina was not a natural disaster, it was an engineering disaster, and it's a relief to hear a federal judge agree with that assessment.
The corps finally admitted, in 2006, to design flaws that led to the collapse of floodwalls in New Orleans. But the agency has consistently downplayed the role of the MR-GO in Hurricane Katrina-related flooding. Even when the corps succumbed to pressure to close the channel, the reason offered was its poor economic performance.
Judge Duval ruled last year that a 1928 federal law granted the corps immunity from damages for flooding caused by the failure of flood control structures. But he said then that immunity did not extend to MR-GO, which was a navigational project, not a flood-control structure.
The judge now says that the corps was clearly negligent when it came to MR-GO. "The corps' lassitude and failure to fulfill its duties resulted in a catastrophic loss of human life and property in unprecedented proportions,'' he wrote.
The corps allowed levees to slump under their own weight, failed to armor MR-GO's banks to protect them from ship wakes and allowed saltwater to exacerbate wetlands loss, the ruling said. Indeed, 27,000 acres of protective marsh that stood between St. Bernard Parish and Lake Borgne were wiped out because of MR-GO.
Corps attorneys argue that the agency's decisions were discretionary policy judgments of their professional staff and are therefore protected by federal law. But Judge Duval rejected that position. "Ignoring safety and poor engineering are not policy, and clearly the corps engaged in such activities,'' he said.
That's exactly what the corps did, both in its blunders with the floodwalls in the outfall canals and in the operation and maintenance of the environmental nightmare known as MR-GO.

Energy savings may be as close as your fingertips
Are there energy savings waiting to be discovered on your desk?
A recent report by Nancy McPherson, Technology Investment Program manager for ITD, indicates laptop computers are more energy efficient than a stand-alone computer and monitor. She compared energy consumption of an MPC TransPort T2500 laptop computer with a desktop MPC Client Pro computer linked to a 17-inch flat screen monitor.
Her analysis estimates the desktop computer and monitor combine for about 320 watts of electricity compared with 120 watts for a laptop powered by an AC adapter.
Based on an eight-hour workday and 20 work days in a month, the desktop/monitor combine for 49.6 kilowatt-hours or a cost of $1.84 to operate. In contrast, a laptop would consume about 19.2 kilowatt-hours per month, for a cost of 71 cents to operate.
Both comparisons use ITD's kilowatt-hour commercial energy rate of 3.7 cents.
In other words, a laptop potentially could create monthly savings of $1.13 per user.
McPherson's analysis does not consider advantages or disadvantages of one system compared with the other, just the energy required to power them.

Md. student to plead guilty in rampage threat
A University of Maryland student charged with making online threats of a campus rampage is entering a guilty plea.
Alexander Song, 19, of Fulton, was scheduled to plead guilty to some of the charges against him Tuesday morning in Prince George's County Circuit Court.
Song was arrested in March after police said he wrote online that he planned "to kill enough people to make it to national news."
Song posted phrases like, "I will be on a shooting rampage tomorrow on campus." The message also warned people to "stay away from the mall tomorrow at 1:30."
Police were able to track Song via his Internet protocol address to his Oakland Hall dorm room, where he was arrested and taken to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation.
Detectives said the honors student told officers that he had been under stress. Officers found no weapons in his dorm room or in his parents' house.
He was subsequently barred from campus.

Boeing said it's working with vendors to address safety concerns after a popular food truck that operated outside the company's Redstone Gateway offices was told it could no longer serve hungry employees.
On-On Tacos announced on its Facebook page Monday it would no longer be serving lunch at Boeing's Redstone Gateway complex. The truck had traditionally sold lunches at Boeing's offices just outside Redstone Arsenal on Monday, then inside the arsenal gates on Tuesday – Friday.
Robert Justice, the owner of On-On Tacos, said he learned this week the company's safety committee won't allow the food truck back since it uses a propane-powered grill. Justice told AL.com news partner WHNT the loss of Boeing's business would be a hit his business.
"We service about 75 to 80 people a day for lunch," Justice said. "It means great sales for us."
Boeing spokesperson Dexter Henson said On-On Tacos and any other food trucks that rely on propane would be allowed back on campus once safety concerns are addressed.
"Boeing cares about the safety and well-being of our employees and we are committed to a workplace where every person who works at or visits Boeing property leaves each day as healthy as when they arrived," Henson said.
"We are working with the vendor to address the safety issues and believe they can meet compliance. Our standards for safety apply to all individuals on Boeing property, at all locations, and apply to visitors, customers, contractors, suppliers, vendors and others, and all employees performing work on Boeing property."
Justice said he's willing to make changes in order to keep Boeing's business.
"If we can switch to all electric, we're willing to look at that and make that investment to keep the partnership with Boeing," Justice said. "If we can't do that, we're already in talks with BASF and we've been approved to come out there for multiple services lunch and dinner, so we're going to start rolling that into the rotation."

BELMONT – Brad Zaskowski's 1987 Camaro wasn't sounding quite right when he arrived at Norwalk, Ohio, for last weekend's Summit Racing Equipment National Hot Rod Association Nationals.
By Sunday night, though, Zaskowski's car was sounding and running just fine.
The veteran Belmont drag racer won the Super Stock division, capturing his second national event of the season and the sixth of his career.
"We had some engine troubles, so we took the car apart to figure out what was going on," said Zaskowski, a 1999 Forest Hills Northern graduate. "We basically had it torn all apart down to the short block, just trying to figure out what was wrong with it. We had a suspicion what was wrong with it and we fixed it, but we weren't 100 percent sure what it was until Friday morning when we fired it up before first round.
"We almost weren't able to show up for first round. There are plates that go on the head that the exhaust headers bolt to, and those had loosened up. We weren't sure that that was causing the noises when we were tearing it apart, but it was."
Zaskowski won all seven of his rounds to earn the Wally. He defeated Ricky Decker of Charlestown, Ind., in the championship round with a pass of 10.235 seconds at 123.11 miles per hour.
It marked the second time that Zaskowski has won two nationals in the same season, having done so in 2009. He also took top honors at the NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla., in March.
"Once we had the engine problems figured out, we thought we would be OK," Zaskowski said. "The car has been running really good the last few weeks, and I've been driving OK. We just had a couple of real close rounds the last couple of races that went the other way and we didn't make it that far. But everything fell into place this weekend.
"Norwalk is one of the nicer facilities that we go to, and I have done well there before. We have runner-upped in a points race there, and at the national events, I have gotten down to the final four before. There is a lot of good competition there."
Zaskowski is second overall in the Super Stock national point standings, trailing the front-running Peter Biondo 614-516. He is a two-time NHRA divisional champion, having won titles in 2010 and 2012. Zaskowski's next national race will be the Aug. 14-17 Lucas Oil Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway in Brainerd, Minn.
Zaskowski's father, Bill Zaskowski, also competed in Super Stocks in last weekend's national and was eliminated in the opening round. His cousin, Kevin Zaskowski, lost in the second round of Stock Eliminator.

A former boys choir founder and director is facing additional charges of child sexual abuse after a search warrant conducted by police.
Kenneth Schade was taken into custody last month on charges of rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault and statutory sexual assault, state police said.
Schade, 74, of Wind Gap, Northampton Co., is accused of raping a teenage boy more than two decades ago when Schade was 57-years-old and running the Singing Boys Choir of Pennsylvania, a group he founded in 1970.
State police investigators searched Schade's home on Marshalls Creek Road in East Stroudsburg on April 1 after a phone call Schade made from jail.
Before the search warrant was executed, Schade was being held in the Monroe County Correctional Facility, and as an inmate, he was made aware his phone calls are recorded and monitored.
Schade called his neighbor, Shari Revilla, and asked her to remove two locked suitcases from his house and keep them in a safe place, police said.
He told her he didn't want people coming into his house and searching through his personal things, according to court documents.
Police contacted Revilla, who turned over the suitcases. When police opened the locked suitcases, they discovered multiple articles of pornographic materials , including 1,101 pornographic pictures of children under the age of 18, officials said.
"I think he knew. He must have known it would be eventually found and this was his last effort to attempt and hide the evidence," said Leonard French, a former choir member.
As a result of the search, police added charges of criminal solicitation, tampering with physical evidence and 1,101 counts of sexual abuse of children for possession of child pornography, according to a news release issued Monday.
Phil Lauer, Schade's attorney, told 69News, "With respect to newly filed charges, there is a lot more investigation that needs to be done regarding the source of this material and its ownership. What I can tell you, is that I continue to hear on a daily basis from former choir members who are calling to support Dr. Schade. It is a difficult time for him and for those who have been through the choir. Almost 4,000 boys have gone through the choir program and we've heard from a lot of them. He's a man who I think has done a lot of good things; that doesn't diminish the severity of what the charges are and we'll have to wait and see how this works out."
