The other shoe finally dropped. The much-speculated and much-anticipated "tax vs. fee" AB 32 Cap and Trade lawsuit has finally been filed. A diverse coalition of businesses and trade groups filed a lawsuit in a state superior court challenging the programs' Greenhouse Gas (GHG) auctions, calling them a state tax, and therefore unconstitutional.
The Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) filed the suit on behalf of a group of food processing, trucking, oil, and construction companies and several individuals who claim the state's fledgling carbon market threatens their businesses and increases their fuel costs. The plaintiffs in the case include:
According to the PLF, the act of auctioning allowances and subsequently generating auction proceeds violates California law requiring all new proposed taxes to be approved by two-thirds of the state legislature.
This is the second lawsuit originating from the business community. In November the state's largest business group, the California Chamber of Commerce, filed a similar lawsuit challenging the Air Resources Board's authority to withhold allowances for auction. Though distinct, the two lawsuits target a very narrow, yet critical, aspect of an otherwise broad AB 32 GHG reduction program—the auction mechanism.
So far California has held two quarterly auctions, with the next one set for May. Revenue from the auctions is directed into special funds whose appropriation methodology is the subject of intense debate in the Legislature and at the California Public Utilities Commission.
Earlier this year California successfully defended another lawsuit filed by non-business groups over the programs' offset provisions. California's AB 32 program has been the subject of additional lawsuits aimed at the Scoping Plan and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard.
This new lawsuit begins what is likely another lengthy legal process. Each time a lawsuit is filed, there is a level of uncertainty about a program that is still in its first year of required reductions. Just how much the market sees this as a risk will be determined at the next auction. If daily carbon trading numbers are an indication of the market's view of this lawsuit, not much risk is seen at this time as the price of traded allowances is relatively steady.

Chavez new Constitution: article 70
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Article 70 - 1999 Constitution
Means of people's participation and involvement in the exercise of their sovereignty, in political affairs, among others, are: the election of public officials, the referendum, the consultation of public opinion, mandate revocation, the legislative, constitutional and constituent initiatives, the open town council, and the citizens' assembly, whose decisions shall be binding. Means of participation in social and economic affairs are: the citizens' service bureaus, self-management, co-management, all forms of cooperatives, including those of financial nature, credit unions, community enterprises, and other forms of association guided by the values of mutual cooperation and solidarity. The law shall establish conditions for the effective functioning of the means of participation contemplated under the present article.
(underlined sections are removed from the reformed article)
Article 70 Reformed
Means of people's participation and involvement in the direct exercise of Their sovereignty, and FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SOCIALISM are: the election of public officials, the referendum, the consultation of public opinion, mandate revocation, the legislative, constitutional and constituent initiatives, the open town council, and the citizens' assembly, THE DECISIONS OF THE LATTER BEING BINDING, THE COUNCILS OF POPULAR POWER (COMMUNAL COUNCILS, WORKERS COUNCILS, STUDENTS COUNCILS, FARMERS COUNCILS, AMONG OTHERS), THE WORKERS DEMOCRATIC MANAGEMENT OF ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT SOCIAL PROPERTY ENTERPRISE, THE COMMUNAL self-management, FINANCIAL AND MICRO-FINANCIAL COMMUNAL ORGANIZATIONS, COMMUNAL PROPERTY COOPERATIVES, COMMUNAL credit unions, NETWORKS OF FREE ASSOCIATED PRODUCERS, VOLUNTARY WORK, community enterprises and other forms of association constituted to develop values of mutual cooperation and SOCIALIST solidarity
The law shall establish conditions for the effective functioning of the means of participation contemplated under the present article.
(sections in capital letters are new in the reformed article)
The section in parenthesis was modified by the National Assembly in the following way:
And the last paragraph will say: A NATIONAL LAW, instead of 'The law"
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
In order of appearance, this is the second article in the proposed reform presenting socialism as an exclusive system framing the activity of the government and of the citizens. "Means of people's participation and involvement in the direct exercise of their sovereignty, and FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SOCIALISM".
Taking into account that article 2 - part of the Fundamental Principles which cannot be altered by a constitutional reform- says that political pluralism is held as a superior value of the legal order and actions of the State, the first question the new article 70 poses is: Which article describes the means of participation of the people for purposes different from the construction of socialism?
There is no such article.
Does that mean that participation for other purposes will be considered unconstitutional? Let's see:
"The government is and shall always be democratic, participatory and pluralist", says Article 6 and "the organs of the State emanate from and are subject to the sovereignty of the people", says article 5. The protection of the democratic exercise of the will of the people is guaranteed in article 3. All three also being part of the unalterable Fundamental Principles.
Furthermore, article 21 says that "all persons are equal before the law, and, consequently any discrimination with the intent or effect of nullifying or encroaching upon the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on equal terms, of the rights and liberties of every individual shall not be permitted".
Moreover, article 22 says that "The enunciation of rights and guarantees contained in this Constitution is not to be understood as negating others inherent to individuals, not expressly mentioned in such enunciation. The absence of a law regulating these rights shall not adversely affect the exercise thereof."
The content of articles 2, 3, 5, 6, 21 and 22 clearly lead to the conclusion that the words 'FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SOCIALISM" are superfluous and useless. And that is not even considering that the alluded socialism, (if it is the same as the so called '21st century socialism') is nothing anybody can agree or disagree with, since it has only been defined in terms of what it will not be. It is something yet to be invented.
But this conclusion is only valid if the interpretation of the constitution is performed by an autonomous and impartial Judicial Power, one where its members are endowed with the honesty, capability, probity and excellence mandated by the constitution. With a Judicial Power under the control of the Executive and where the president of its Supreme Tribunal (twice fired from the Judicial system for illicit actions, in 1989 and 2003) is a member of the presidential committee for the constitutional reform (which makes her a judge and a party in the issue), the intention of the reform of article 70 of reducing the political rights of citizens to a single alternative becomes evident.
Another modification in article 70 is the elimination of co-management as a way of participation in social and economic affairs. Now there is no distinction between political, social or economic means of participation and only self-management is mentioned as a form of workers involvement in enterprise management. Is this an improvement? It depends on what kind of enterprises will the workers be allowed to manage themselves. Would Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) for example be managed from now on by the company workers? Well, no. The article makes it clear that only in the restricted realm or environment of what is 'communal' the workers may have any involvement. The term 'communal' would be related to either Communes (political entities with forms of self government equivalent to parishes) or Communities, (a new micro political division that is being introduced by article 16 which can only be explained as an obsession to micro manage the lives of the people.- Mousqueton-Article 16). The alleged increase in participation and power transfer to the people, used to advertise the constitutional reform would be manifested only in matters of little transcendence, matters with virtually no significance in the national context.
Then what is the meaning of 'THE WORKERS DEMOCRATIC MANAGEMENT OF ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT SOCIAL PROPERTY ENTERPRISE'? Perhaps PDVSA falls into the category of Social property? Well, no. Direct Social Property will be "what the State assigns to Communes or Communities or Cities". Indirect Social Property is something "exercised by the State in the name of a Community", according to the reformed article 115. Again any enterprise management where the workers will be in charge will not be anything over which the State doesn't have full control. Nowhere in this reformed article it is said that the workers will have something to do with Public Property, the one that 'belongs' to State Entities. One can foresee that it is in the latter category where PDVSA belongs.
Notably missing among the means of participation listed in the new article 70 is the exercise of popular control over the State entities through 'contraloria social'.
The effort of the National Assembly to make this article attractive by adding Fishermen, The Young, Women, Disabled people etc, to the list of the Councils of Popular Power (where they were already implicitly included with the words 'among others'), denotes the disregard and disrespect of the servile group of legislators (that represents less than 20% of the electorate) for the citizens, condescendingly underestimating intelligence. Why? Because the Popular Power, as described in the reformed article 136, is not exercised by electing any communal, woman, elderly or student leader in any election. It is exercised by "being part of communes, communities and cities self-government."
The National Assembly was careful to emphasize that no form of self-government at any of the micro-levels where participation is graciously allowed could ever create special legislation.
They had to include the word 'National' to qualify the type of law that will establish the conditions for the effective functioning of the means of participation.
Another reduction of the people's rights is the transformation of the formerly binding decisions of the Open Town Councils (Town Meetings), into non-binding in the reformed article 70.
There is no way to know how "SOCIALIST solidarity" deviates from the universally understood concept of solidarity. But if the deviation follows the same pattern as "revolutionary justice" or "revolutionary democracy" from their respective original concepts, we can expect a result with no resemblance whatsoever to what the term pretends to invoke.
Finally, voluntary work now is characterized as a means of participation. Since it is incomprehensible to consider it as a political, social or economical right, it is feasible that some National law will make it a duty or a condition to exercise some fundamental right.
Article 70 is under TITLE III of the constitution, which refers to Duties, Human Rights and Guarantees. The proposed modifications imply a substantial reduction of the people's rights, which is contrary to the principle of progressiveness, contemplated in the 1999 constitution.

The aspirational goalposts have barely moved for Scunthorpe since the days when the little inside-right with the German helmet haircut had the scouts following their exploits in a Gang Show gaggle. Scunny never quite managed to escape from the Football League's basement division in the three seasons Keegan spent learning his trade with them before joining Liverpool for pounds 35,000 and pounds 50-a-week in a transfer deal Bill Shankly later confessed to being "daylight robbery with violence". But 28 years later they have a fighting chance of filling the Second Division place Keegan's present club side are set to vacate.
Victory yesterday would have put Scunthorpe third in the Third Division table. Climbing one place to fourth provided some consolation for Brian Laws, their button-bright young manager. But his team made such a dazzling start they threatened to emulate the famous 5-0 success Newcastle United enjoyed at Millmoor, with four goals from a curly-permed Keegan, back in 1982.
Laws had his players training at lunchtime all week to condition them to the 12.30pm kick-off dictated by local interest in game one of Keegan's national team caretakership. And they emerged from their pre-match huddle with their body clocks in 3pm Saturday mode.
They emerged with their very own Keegan clone, too. In physical terms, Jamie Forrester did not exactly stand head and shoulders above his colleagues and rivals but in terms of skill he was positively gargantuan. A chunky little dynamo, he could have scored twice in the opening two minutes and set up a stream of chances for his team-mates. Whether Scunthorpe can hold on to their latest prized asset, though, remains to be seen.
Like Keegan, who was spurned by Doncaster Rovers and Coventry City before he was spotted by Jack Brownsword, Scunthorpe's trainer, playing Sunday morning football for Pegler's Brassworks, Forrester has had his setbacks. He has been deemed surplus to requirements by both Leeds and Grimsby but, at 25, is showing his true pedigree - and topping the Third Division goalscoring chart.
In his time as Scunny's star man, Keegan would sit on the knee of the Evening Telegraph's travelling reporter and perform a ventriloquist's dummy routine on the coach to away games. He was not, however, the only future celebrity to perch on Tom Taylor's lap.
Tom's son, Graham, grew up to be an England manager too. A real turnip for the books, you might say.

UNITED NATIONS – The United Nations says it has relocated 58 staff members from Baghdad, and may move additional personnel out of the Iraqi capital in the coming days because of growing security concerns.
U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan Haq made the announcement Monday when asked whether the U.N. stood by his statement Friday that "Baghdad is safe."
"I think the fact that we're going to be relocating some staff speaks for itself," Haq said. "The situation has changed on the ground in the last few days and we are adjusting our posture accordingly."
He said some 200 U.N. international staff were in Baghdad and 58, now in Amman, Jordan, will be relocated to Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan.
"We are going to continue with our activities whether political or humanitarian or otherwise," Haq said.

The Predators have won three of the last five meetings with the Sharks.
The San Jose Sharks will be looking to snap a two-game skid when they invade Bridgestone Arena to face off against the Nashville Predators this Tuesday night. Game time is set for 4 p.m. (PT) and it will be broadcast locally on FOX Sports-Tennessee.
San Jose's five-game winning streak ended unexpectedly with a 2-1 loss to New Jersey last Friday as a 144 road favorite. The Sharks followed this up with a 3-2 loss to Florida as a 138 road favorite. The two losses dropped them to 30-21-4 straight-up on the year and 25-32 against the spread.
The Sharks total 66 points and are currently two points behind Dallas in the Pacific Division standings, and in seventh-place in the Western Conference.
Center Logan Couture leads the team with 24 goals and left winger Patrick Marleau is second with 21. Right winger Dany Heatley is the points leader with 48 (19 goals and 28 assists) and center Joe Thornton helps round out a very potent offense with a team-high 32 assists. The Sharks are averaging 2.72 goals a game, tying them with Anaheim for 15th in the league.
San Jose goalie Annti Niemi is expected to get the start in this game. He has a goals-against average of 2.56 and a .916 save percentage in 36 previous starts. The Sharks are giving up an average of 2.61 goals a game, ranking them 11th in the NHL.
Nashville has won three of its last four games including a huge 4-1 win over Detroit last Wednesday as a 147 road underdog and a 5-3 victory over Colorado as a 153 home favorite this past Saturday. The Predators trail the Red Wings in the Central Division by seven points with a total of 67 points on the year. They are 30-19-4 SU overall (38-18 ATS) and in fifth-place in the West.
Right winger Patric Hornqvist is Nashville's leading goal scorer with 17 and he is third on the team in total points with 31. Defenseman Shea Weber actually leads the team in points with 35 (11 goals and 24 assists) while another defenseman Ryan Sutter leads in assists with 25. The Predators are ranked near the bottom of the league in scoring with a goals-per-game average of 2.57.
Look for Pekka Rinne to be between the pipes against the Sharks on Tuesday night. He has started 39 games this season and has a GGA of 2.11 which is third-best in the NHL and a save percentage of .928, which ranks him second. Behind Rinne's strong play, Nashville is ranked second in the league in goals allowed; giving up an average of just 2.32 a game.
San Jose is 9-8 this season as an underdog and 21-19 as a favorite. The total has gone over in 29 of its 57 games this year. Nashville is 11-10 as a favorite and 19-16 as an underdog this season. The total has stayed 'under' in 31 of its 56 games which is 55.4 percent of the time.
Head-to-head, the Predators have won three of the last five games including two games this season. They won 3-2 on Dec. 15 as a 111 home underdog and 2-1 as a 151 road underdog on Jan.8. The total stayed 'under' in both of those games.
This time around Nashville should open as a mild favorite, but do not be surprised if the money line ends up slightly favoring the Sharks. Either way stick with the Predators to make it three straight wins over San Jose in another close, low-scoring affair.

Death rate from ovarian cancer in England has fallen by a fifth since 2001
BMJ 2012; 345 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.e7861 (Published 20 November 2012) Cite this as: BMJ 2012;345:e7861- Zosia Kmietowicz

The mortality rate from ovarian cancer in England fell from 11.2 women in every 100 000 (3820 cases) in 2001 to 8.8 per 100 000 (3453 cases) in 2010—a drop of about 20%, show latest figures.1
One year survival after diagnosis of ovarian cancer increased from 57% in the mid-1980s to 73% in 2010, and five year survival increased from 33% to 44%, says a report from the National Cancer Intelligence Network.
The most notable drop in deaths over the past 10 years has been among women aged 40-69 years. …

The combination of leading-edge embedded software and DSP technologies claims to enable unprecedented performance for voice activation and hands-free operation of mobile devices.
Wolfson and Sensory have implemented Sensory's TrulyHandsfree on Wolfson's industry-leading WM5110 High Definition (HD) Audio System on a Chip (SoC), as well as on Wolfson's WM0010 and WM0011 digital signal processor (DSP) products. The WM5110, with advanced DSP, is one of the most powerful and efficient HD Audio Processors on the market, delivering exceptional HD Audio performance to portable consumer electronics devices, including smartphones and tablet computers. The WM5110, or Wolfson's WM0010 and WM0011 products, combined with Sensory's TrulyHandsfree solution, delivers speed, accuracy, reliability and noise robustness in a small and low power footprint, with minimal impact to handset standby time, enabling a true 'always on, always listening' experience for the first time.
Advances in speech recognition technology and cloud computing have made voice user interfaces 'must-have' features in today's mobile phones. However, all of these still require either a touch to activate - which can be difficult if the user has their hands full, as well as dangerous and increasingly illegal while driving - or the use of an 'always on, always listening' mode which risks using up the device's battery. Now Wolfson and Sensory have created a solution for TrulyHandsfree at ultra-low power consumption.
Bill Teasley, VP of Engineering at Sensory said: "Sensory and Wolfson have created an unparalleled solution for ultra-low power high accuracy speech recognition on portable devices. Mobile phones can now include voice control, intelligent voice search and utilise voice assistants without the user having to touch the phone or wear down the battery."
Wolfson will be showing audio demonstrations at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, February 25th-28th, on stand 2A62, hall 2.

Mystery Corner: Nero Wolfe
I'm moved to bring him up because I just read my first disappointing Wolfe mystery. The standard formula is that Wolfe stays at home, Archie digs, and then Wolfe gathers everyone to his office for an entertaining explanation of whodunit. Impossible mysteries are thus solved. In The Black Mountain, Wolfe is forced to go out adventuring and it doesn't work. He solves the crime by overhearing someone confess to it. There's an exception to every rule and there is apparently such a thing as a bad Nero Wolfe.

Hunter, I haven't read this one yet, but have read Death of a Dude, which has Wolfe traveling to a ranch in Montana, of all places, to solve a crime. I rather liked that one. And don't forget that the fourth and fifth of the numerous Wolfe novels also involved Wolfe leaving the house for an extended period—so this motif was in fact established fairly early on. I think these excursions provide some nice variety to the series and helped keep it from going stale.
It may be that the real problem with the book is not so much that Wolfe leaves home but instead the emphasis on action and the puacity of the sort of delightful dialogue exchanges that are at the heart of the appeal of the seris. Here is the comment from the excellent Nero Wolfe website "Merely a Genius..." (http://www.geocities.com/Athens/8907/nero.html): "First published in October 1954, by Viking Press. A very unusual Nero Wolfe mystery; features the death of two important characters, and a long journey over sea and mountain, to Montenegro, for both Wolfe and Archie. One of the few Wolfe stories to emphasise action and drama over character and dialogue; for that reason, not one of my favourites."
The fourth and fifth NW novels, mentioned above, are The Red Box (1937, aka The Case of the Red Box) and Too Many Cooks (1938).
Now I'll have to read The Black Mountain, and you wouldn't believe how much is already on the To Read stack. Thanks loads, partner. - 7/5/05, 2:43 PM

Naturally, I read all the Nero Wolfe books as a teenager, since I was in an all-boys high school and diversions were scarce.
If Hunter still thinks that Wolfe leaving the house is so rare, then clearly he has not yet read the Zeck trilogy (Arnold Zeck is the Professor Moriarty of the Wolfe series) culminating In The Best Families.
And there are quite a few in which the detection is negligible, relying on either action or dialogue to fill the void.
The most famous story of a reader who quit the series in disgust was John Wayne, who personally communicated to Stout that he would no longer read the books. This came after The Doorbell Rang, a novel in which Wolfe behaved disparagingly toward J. Edgar Hoover (who appears as an unnamed character). - 7/5/05, 5:49 PM
- Jay D. Homnick said...
Oh, one more note. Another big fan of the series is Rush Limbaugh. During the period that he was significantly overweight, he once blurted that sometimes he feels like he IS Nero Wolfe.
You can usually tell when he has recently been reading the books; he begins telling callers that he is using his "intelligence guided by experience". - 7/5/05, 5:51 PM
he begins telling callers that he is using his "intelligence guided by experience".
He has neither. - 7/5/05, 6:03 PM
- Hunter Baker said...
Oh, that wasn't nice, Anonymous. Especially when speaking of a guy who was a loser his entire life and found out how to make a few hundred million with his mouth. Stupid isn't the word I'd use to describe him.
He's a showman. I don't think that takes intelligence, just skill and practice.
- S. T. Karnick said...
Oh, well, then if he succeeded solely through skill and practice, the heck with him!
Well, to heck (or elsewhere) with him, yes, but for different reasons.
- P.A. Breault said...
I don't consider Black Mountain disappointing. Like John D. MacDonald's The Green Ripper, it's a deviation from the formula. It is weak in that Archie's reduced to a relatively mute tourist, but it does fill in some of Wolfe's background.
- Hunter Baker said...
It's also weak because Wolfe's magnificent mind doesn't come too much into play.
- Jay D. Homnick said...
Incidentally, that "seventh of a ton" is contradicted in other books. In at least one place he weighs a sixth of a ton. Then there are some other amounts.
If you plan to cover the whole series right now, you might want to take notes and compile a comprehensive list of all the versions. - 7/6/05, 10:10 PM
- David Patty said...
Wolfe left the Brownstone 35 times in the 74 storys and novels. He didn't leave the house in 38 of them. For more info there is an article written by one of the Nero Wolfe mailing list members on my site if anyone is interested. http://nero-wolfe.us/wp/?p=141
Hunter, I rather disagree with with you about TBM not being a good Stout. I didn't like it that much on the first read through but on the second reading I got a better feel for the situation he found himself in. One problem is that if you have read other Wolfe stories, you've gotten comfortable with the surroundings and all that is missing. In TBM the rhythm or cadence of the story is totally different. And as you point out he solves it in a manner totally unlike his usual lip exerces. Give it some time and try it again I think you might be surprised.
I put together a set of maps of the area of the trip and marked them up according to April Carlucci's excellent post on the subject that you might find interesting at http://nero-wolfe.us/wp/?p=44 - 7/15/05, 12:13 AM

Model Packs increase the number of Amp or FX Models of a GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt, PODxt Live or PODxt Pro, for a wider variety of tone possibilities. When a particular tone in the library relies on a Model available in one of these packs, you'll see symbol(s) to indicate which Packs: MS (Metal Shop), CC (Classics Collection), FX (FX Junkie), and PP (Power Pack).
The models within the FX Junkie Model Pack are already included in PODxt Live, and offered for purchase to add-on to GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt and PODxt Pro.
Variax is the uniquely flexibile guitar from Line 6. Our Vetta II amplifier includes a digital connection for the Variax that lets you store settings for both your amp and your guitar in the Vetta II so that when you call up a Vetta Channel Memory your amp and guitar can change sounds together. Vetta II Tones marked with this guitar symbol include this Variax data.
For each tone in the library, you'll see an icon for either a single coil or humbucker pickup. This tells you whether the tone is best for use with a single coil pickup or a humbucker, so you can select the appropriate pickup on your guitar when using this tone.
Attention POD 2.0, Flextone and HD147 owners... Your hardware doesn't do Stomp effects, so you'll hear something different than what was intended. Try increasing the Drive or choose a higher gain Amp Model to get the right sound. The other aspects of the sound should translate as expected, so you'll at least get a great starting place for tweaking.
ユーザーがPublic Tone Exchangeへ提供しているトーンは、各個人が作成したものであり、Line 6との関係はありません。ユーザーがトーンを表現するために使用している製品名や商標は、各所有者が個人的に使っているものです。使用されている製品名や商標は、Line 6とのエンドースや関連とは無関係です。

Pack less. Be more.
I am getting started with lightweight equipment and am looking for
1) a decent quality light down bag, either 20 or 30 degree (still guaging that, open to both.) Want something mid-price range, good quality but moderate price. Regular size.
2) a decent pack. Open to possibilities. The GG Mariposa looks great depending on price. Others? Probably large will fit (torso 20 in., 5ft. 10in. tall) and medium belt (waist 32in.).
3) a good tarp shelter. Dont want to spend a lot here, flat tarp may be fine for now until I have more experience and knowledge. But if you have a shaped tarp or even a TarpTent Contrail or Notch or similar let me know what that might cost, its possible.
Any suggestions in this area are most welcome as well. Yesterday I started a thread in Gear with more details, and many helpful replies. I will be making a decision quickly, as I will depart for Wonderland trail right after Labor Day… yikes! Please let me know. Thanks.
I currently have a Bear Paw Wilderness Designs tarp and bug net listed on gear swap.
Canopy 1 silnylon shaped tarp 9.3oz including guy lines asking. $90
Minimalist 1 w/sloped foot 9.0 oz asking $85.
I'll take $150 shipped Conus for both. If you are interested on either one separately make an offer.
Let me know if your interested.
Hey David,
I have a year-old Golite Adrenaline 1+ season sleeping bag. It's a bit heavier than advertised (25oz vs 19oz that they said) but is also loftier than advertised. I've slept in it down to high 20s and have been fine. It's regular length. I'd sell for $140 if you're interested. PM if you want pics or more details.
Dave I sent you a PM

Jon Macy's Teleny and Camille has just gotten an amazing review at gay comics site Fanboys of the Universe from the FBotU maestro himself, Chance Whitmire. Chance's review starts off with a bit of an Oscar Wilde history lesson, and emphasizes just how much modern LGBT folks take for granted:
For a moment, though, try to imagine London, 1893. Sodomy was illegal. The mere accusation could destroy your reputation, your business and even land you in jail. Which is exactly what happened to Oscar Wilde. In 1895, Oscar was convicted of gross indecency (being a sodomite) and sentenced to two years of prison and hard labor. Being incarcerated in 1895 was no Chi Chi Larue video, either. It destroyed Oscar and ended the career of a literary genius.
He's got more kind words for Jon and for Teleny and Camille:
As a graphic novel, Teleny and Camille keeps the original story and the best of its rich language, but gives it a more cohesive narrative. The writers of the novel strain at times to describe the passion and intensity of the relationship between the two men. Macy's art, passionate and free-flowing, at times animalistic and supernatural, fills in where mere words fail. It's as if Teleny had been waiting a century for Jon Macy to come along.
I got a chance to speak with Macy briefly at Comic-Con and breathlessly told him how I savored and studied each page and felt the book should only be read alone and by candlelight. So vivid is the world Macy constructs, and the threat of exposure so daunting, just the experience of reading the book feels wicked and forbidden. It's a very sensual reading experience.
Macy's Teleny and Camille was years in the making and stands as both a great accomplishment in the graphic novel genre and a major contribution to gay literature.
What are you waiting for? Get over there and read the whole review!
