Deluxe edition limited to 500 copies worldwide, signed by Christopher Tolkien and Alan Lee. Containing nine colour plates, it is hand-bound in full goat-skin with marbled endpapers and raised spine ribs; the pages are edged in gold. The book is housed in a matching leather traycase lined in real suede and protected in its own shipping carton.
There are tales of Middle-earth from times long before The Lord of the Rings, and the story told in this book is set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West: lands where Treebeard once walked, but which were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World.
In that remote time Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in the vast fortress of Angband, the Hells of Iron, in the North; and the tragedy of Túrin and his sister Nienor unfolded within the shadow of the fear of Angband and the war waged by Morgoth against the lands and secret cities of the Elves.
Their brief and passionate lives were dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bore them as the children of Húrin, the man who had dared to defy and to scorn him to his face. Against them he sent his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire. Into this story of brutal conquest and flight, of forest hiding-places and pursuit, of resistance with lessening hope, the Dark Lord and the Dragon enter in direly articulate form. Sardonic and mocking, Glaurung manipulated the fates of Túrin and Nienor by lies of diabolic cunning and guile, and the curse of Morgoth was fulfilled.
The earliest versions of this story by J.R.R. Tolkien go back to the end of the First World War and the years that followed; but long afterwards, when The Lord of the Rings was finished, he wrote it anew and greatly enlarged it in complexities of motive and character: it became the dominant story in his later work on Middle-earth. But he could not bring it to a final and finished form. In this book Christopher Tolkien has constructed, after long study of the manuscripts, a coherent narrative without any editorial invention.

"It has seemed to me for a long time that there was a good case for presenting my father's long version of the legend of the Children of Húrin as an independent work, between its own covers, with a minimum of editorial presence, and above all in continuous narrative without gaps or interruptions, if this could be done without distortion or invention, despite the unfinished state in which he left some parts of it."

THE CHILDREN OF HÚRIN by ADAM TOLKIEN
I was brought up in France, and although my grandfather died when I was
very young, his work was always very much in evidence at home. My father,
Christopher, the third of J.R.R. Tolkien's four children, according to his
father's explicit wishes, has devoted himself to the publishing of my
grandfather's massive archive of material ever since he began work on the
"Silmarillion" papers in 1974. Ideally suited as he was through his
twenty-five years of experience as a professor of Anglo-Saxon in Oxford,
his work has always been that of the most rigorous editorial discipline. I
have always been impressed by his ability to preserve his father's original
writings as far as possible while applying the deft skill of an editor to
make his volumes readable and not simply a catalogue of unpublished texts,
something I was to learn first-hand when I undertook the daunting task of
translating the first two volumes of The History of Middle-earth for
Christian Bourgois, the French Tolkien publisher. With these books,
complete with Christopher's notes, as well as being able to discover some
otherwise completely unknown tales, readers could begin to understand the
way the author worked, and see how he would write and rewrite, often
revisiting the same stories and passages after many years, keen to refine
and improve his vast mythology, as well as to accommodate into his earlier
writing the fruits of his later invention and to create a complete and
seamless mythology, a saga spanning thousands of years.
Having spent the three years immediately following J.R.R. Tolkien's death
compiling The Silmarillion, Christopher went on to compile the book
Unfinished Tales, followed by the 12-volume The History of Middle-earth,
which was itself to take him 16 years. So when the twelfth volume, The
Peoples of Middle-earth, was published in 1997, it seemed probable that
this was to be Christopher's final book. The book's dedication to my
mother, Baillie, did seem to make it clear that this was a conclusion to a
long labour. But my father is as indefatigable as his father was, and he
had been thinking for a long while of the possibility of a better and more
complete version of one of the major tales from the Legendarium, "The
Children of Húrin", and one that would be closer to his father's vision.
He has explained a little more extensively what had been his intention with
The Children of Húrin :
`It is undeniable that there are a very great many readers of The Lord of
the Rings for whom the legends of the Elder Days (as previously published
in varying forms in The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and The History of
Middle-earth) are altogether unknown, unless by their repute as strange and
inaccessible in mode and manner. For this reason it has seemed to me for a
long time that there was a good case for presenting my father's long
version of the legend of the Children of Húrin as an independent work,
between its own covers, with a minimum of editorial presence, and above all
in continuous narrative without gaps or interruptions, if this could be
done without distortion or invention, despite the unfinished state in which
he left some parts of it.
`When my father was a young man, during the years of the First World War
and long before there was any inkling of the tales that were to form the
narrative of The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, he began the writing of a
collection of stories that he called The Book of Lost Tales. That was his
first work of imaginative literature, and a substantial one, for though it
was left unfinished there are fourteen completed tales. Among the Lost
Tales three were of much greater length, and all three are concerned with
Men as well as Elves: the stories of Beren and Lúthien, the Children of
Húrin, and The Fall of Gondolin. In 1951, three years before the
publication of The Fellowship of the Ring, he told of his early intention:
"I would draw some of the great tales in fullness, and leave many only
placed in the scheme, and sketched."
`It thus seems unquestionable, from my father's own words, that if he could
achieve final and finished narratives on the scale he desired, he saw the
three "Great Tales" as works sufficiently complete in themselves as not to
demand knowledge of the great body of legend known as The Silmarillion.'
Remarkably, considering that the earliest passages in The Children of Húrin
are 90 years old, Christopher's reworking of the book works brilliantly. In
a sense it is not a new book, for versions and pieces of the story will be
familiar to some readers. For example, the whole tale was condensed down
into a single chapter in The Silmarillion, as was the story of The Lord of
the Rings at the end of that book, so what you have here is the
reconstructed version, complete with familiar elements and also pieces that
have never appeared before. (It might be compared to a sort of literary
Director's Cut, the long version of the story assembled from all the best
footage available, though my father probably wouldn't welcome the
filmmaking comparison!)
We are especially delighted that HarperCollins agreed to publish the book
with illustrations, and that the artist is Alan Lee (this was a particular
request on Christopher's part). Alan was commissioned in 1990 to create the
first-ever illustrated edition of The Lord of the Rings to mark Tolkien's
Centenary, and his 50 watercolour paintings were to prove more influential
than anyone could possibly have imagined, as Alan then spent five years in
New Zealand working as conceptual designer with John Howe for the Peter
Jackson trilogy. But now he is back, and has created some remarkable new
paintings and pencil drawings for the book, while Christopher has himself
redrawn the map, as indeed he did for The Lord of the Rings more than 50
years ago.
We hope that readers will be sufficiently attracted to the tragic tale of
The Children of Húrin, and will discover the `great tale' that was so
important to J.R.R. Tolkien and then the whole fascinating mythology that
lies behind The Lord of the Rings. It is a testament to my father's skill
as an editor that he has been able to construct a complete narrative
without resorting to writing anything new. The words are one hundred
percent J.R.R. Tolkien's, and for anyone who has read The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings, this book allows them to take a step back into a larger
world, an ancient land of heroes and vagabonds, honour and jeopardy, hope
and tragedy.

You just want to block them? Put in some dummy IPs in your DNS server.
We use a Barracuda web filter here to monitor and filter content. It works pretty good.

You could check out OpenDNS. I think that does monitoring.

Thanks for the information. We aren't quite at the blocking stage yet. Just want to pull some information on amount of usage.
May 14, 2010 at 1:51 UTC
Spiceworks won't do that type of monitoring. You'll need something like Untangle to do that. What you can to then is set that other system to email your helpdesk when a fobidden site is attempted and you'll get a ticket created. A sudo-alert.
May 14, 2010 at 1:55 UTC
Perfect. Quick responses. Thanks.
May 14, 2010 at 3:05 UTC
I'm going to be implementing Untangle this weekend to do the same thing.
I had a Spare machine with Core 2 Duo, 512MB Ram, 80GB HD, which I was able to install Untangle on.
Untangle can do other advanced stuff but the monitoring and blocking portion is part of the free set of tools.

Shot in the chest and listed in fair condition? The bullet either missed the lungs or was a small caliber round. I hope the manager makes it and the guy they caught gets hung for both.

Restaurant manager shot in Randolph - Local News Updates - The Boston GlobeBy Matt Collette, Globe Correspondent
The manager of a Randolph fast food restaurant was shot multiple times Friday night during an attempted armed robbery, police said.
A man wearing a black ski mask and a black hooded sweatshirt demanded money at 11:10 p.m. from the manager of Burger King located at 18 North St., Police Chief Paul Porter said.
The suspect shot the manager, whose name was not released by police, three times, once in the chest and in each leg.
The manager was taken by ambulance to Brockton Hospital, where he was listed in fair condition today. The suspect fled on foot without the loot.
Police are also investigating a second robbery, which happened just before midnight at the Rapid Refill Sunoco station on Route 139.
Authorities would not comment on whether the robberies, which occurred about a mile apart, were connected.
Police allege Felix Rivera-Otero, 29, of Linton, Ind. robbed the gas station, then led police on a brief car chase.
Police arrested Rivera-Otero after he crashed his car into a police cruiser. He will be arraigned Monday in Quincy District Court on charges of armed robbery, assault and battery, failure to stop for a police officer, operating a motor vehicle so as to endanger lives, and giving a false name at the time of arrest. The Sunoco cashier was not injured, police said.

Sounds like a safe he literally could not open due to time or access restraints. Pretty common thing, but sounds like the BG was too freakin stupid to know such a basic fact, had a temper tantrum at his sheer stupidity, and decided to be a "big man" by shooting the guy.
I hope he gets a cell with Bubba, who will make him feel like a "big man" every night
these robbers are idiots.go to prison for a little money?

Randolph is a gangster's haven. We drove by that location in the early afternoon on 12/27, on our way to the gun club and I commented to my Wife about all the hoods hanging around in that area (night and day).

Courts bought it. Slap on the wrist -- up to breaking into homes and stealing.

Philadelphia, U.S.A. – Health Union, LLC, released the results of its landmark study "Migraine In America 2012" via a live web conference. This patient survey was completed by over 2,600 migraine sufferers in May and June of this year and represents one of the largest studies of this type ever completed.
"The results of the Migraine In America Study are quite staggering," said Dr. Dawn Marcus, MD, Professor, Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Pittsburgh, "we've known for some time about the physical pain and suffering of migraine, but this study gives us an unprecedented glimpse into the real impact that migraine has on people's lives."
For example, the data showed that among participants in the survey:
- Over 50% report that migraines have negatively impacted their professional development
- Over 25% report that they have lost a job due to their migraines
- Over 40% report that migraines have impacted their relationship with their children
All study results are notably worse for those suffering from chronic migraine, defined as having over 15 days each month with headache symptoms lasting over four hours. For example over 38% of chronic migraine sufferers reported losing a job due to their condition.
The initial data presentation is available at http://migraine.com/mia2012/.
"This is an incredibly rich data set and we have just begun to scratch the surface," said Olivier Chateau, Co-Founder of Health Union, LLC the publisher of Migraine.com the largest and fastest growing online community dedicated solely to migraine, "over the coming months we will continue to analyze the data and will publish new findings on migraine.com."
Migraine impacts an estimated 37 million Americans. Every 10 seconds someone in the United Statesgoes to the emergency room with a headache or migraine, and American employers lose more than $13 billion each year as a result of 113 million lost workdays due to migraine.
Health Union, LLC is based in Philadelphia.
Its mission is to enrich the lives of those impacted by disease by fostering open and honest interactions about health conditions between and among patients, caregivers, professionals and providers. Harnessing the full power of the Internet, social media and emerging technologies, Health Union aims to help patients make more informed decisions about their healthcare.

Floating the Fiction of Democracy
In 1964 I was slow to take the point, possibly because I was working at the time in a medium that McLuhan had listed as endangered -- writing, for The Saturday Evening Post, inclined to think in sentences, accustomed to associating a cause with an effect, a beginning with a middle and an end. Television news I construed as an attempt to tell a story with an alphabet of brightly colored children's blocks, and when offered the chance to become a correspondent for NBC, I declined the referral to what I regarded as a course in remedial reading.
The judgment was poorly timed. Within five years The Saturday Evening Post had gone the way of the great auk; news had become entertainment, entertainment news, the distinctions between a fiction and a fact as irrelevant as they were increasingly difficult to parse. Another 20 years and I understood what McLuhan meant by the phrase, "The medium is the message," when in the writing of a television history of America's foreign policy in the twentieth century, I was allotted roughly 73 seconds in which to account for the origins of World War II, while at the same time providing a voiceover transition between newsreel footage of Jesse Owens running the hundred-yard dash at the Berlin Olympics in the summer of 1936, and Adolf Hitler marching the Wehrmacht into Vienna in the spring of 1938.
McLuhan regarded the medium of television as better suited to the sale of a product than to the expression of a thought. The voice of the first person singular becomes incorporated into the collective surges of emotion housed within an artificial kingdom of wish and dream; the viewer's participation in the insistent and ever-present promise of paradise regained greatly strengthens what McLuhan identified as "the huge educational enterprise that we call advertising." By which he didn't mean the education of a competently democratic citizenry -- "Mosaic news is neither narrative, nor point of view, nor explanation, nor comment" -- but rather as "the gathering and processing of exploitable social data" by "Madison Avenue frogmen of the mind" intent on retrieving the sunken subconscious treasure of human credulity and desire.
McLuhan died on New Year's Eve 1979, 15 years before the weaving of the World Wide Web, but his concerns over the dehumanized extensions of man (a society in which it is the machine that thinks and the man who is reduced to the state of the thing) are consistent with those more recently noted by computer scientist Jaron Lanier, who suggests that the data-mining genius of the computer reduces individual human expression to "a primitive, retrograde activity." Among the framers of the digital constitution, Lanier in the mid-1980s was a California computer engineer engaged in the early programming of virtual reality.
In the same way that McLuhan in his more optimistic projections of the electronic future had envisioned unified networks of communication restoring mankind to a state of freedom not unlike the one said to have existed in the Garden of Eden, so too Lanier had entertained the hope of limitless good news. Writing in 2010 in his book You Are Not a Gadget, he finds that the ideology promoting radical freedom on the surface of the Web is "more for machines than people" -- machines that place advertising at the "center of the human universe" the only form of expression meriting general commercial protection in the new world to come. Any other form of expression to be remashed, anonymized, and decontextualized to the point of meaninglessness."
The reduction of individual human expression to a "primitive, retrograde activity" accounts for the product currently being sold under the labels of "election" and "democracy." The candidates stand and serve as farm equipment meant to cultivate an opinion poll, their value measured by the cost of their manufacture; the news media's expensive collection of talking heads bundles the derivatives into the commodity of market share. The steadily higher cost of floating the fiction of democracy -- the sale of political television advertising up from nearly $200 million in the presidential election of 1996 to $2 billion in the election of 2008 -- reflects the ever-increasing rarity of the demonstrable fact.
Like the music in elevators, the machine-made news comes and goes on a reassuringly familiar loop, the same footage, the same spokespeople, the same commentaries, what was said last week certain to be said this week, next week, and then again six weeks from now, the sequence returning as surely as the sun, demanding little else from the would-be citizen except devout observance. French Novelist Albert Camus in the 1950s already had remanded the predicament to an aphorism: "A single sentence will suffice for modern man: he fornicated and read the papers."
Ritual becomes the form of applied knowledge that both McLuhan and Lanier define as pattern recognition -- Nike is a sneaker or a cap, Miller beer is wet, Paris Hilton is not a golf ball. The making of countless connections in the course of a morning's googling, an afternoon's shopping, an evening's tweeting constitutes the guarantee of being in the know. Among people who worship the objects of their own invention -- money, cloud computing, the Super Bowl -- the technology can be understood, in Swiss playwright Max Frisch's phrase, as "the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it." Better to consume it, best of all to buy it, and to the degree that information can be commodified (as corporate logo, designer dress, politician custom-fitted to a super PAC) the amassment of wealth and the acquisition of power follows from the labeling of things rather than from the making of them.
The Voice of Money Talking to Money
Never have so many labels come so readily to hand, not only on Fox News and MSNBC, but also on the Goodyear blimp and on the fence behind home plate at Yankee Stadium. The achievement has been duly celebrated by the promoters of "innovative delivery strategies" that broaden our horizons and brighten our lives with "quicker access to valued customers."
Maybe I miss the "key performance indicators," but I don't know how a language meant to be disposable enriches anybody's life. I can understand why words construed as product placement serve the interest of the corporation or the state, but they don't "enhance" or "empower" people who would find in their freedoms of thought and expression a voice, and therefore a life, that they can somehow recognize as their own.
The regime change implicit in the ascendant rule of signs funds the art of saying nothing. Meaning evaporates, the historical perspective loses its depth of field, the vocabulary contracts. George Orwell made the point in 1946, in his essay "Politics and the English Language." "The slovenliness of our language," he said, "makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. If one gets rid of these habits, one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step toward political regeneration."
Advertising isn't interested in political regeneration. The purpose is to nurture foolish thoughts, and the laziness of mind suckled at the silicone breasts of CBS and Disney counts as a consumer benefit. The postliterate sensibility is offended by anything that isn't television, views with suspicion the compound sentence, the subordinate clause, words of more than three syllables. The home and studio audiences become accustomed to hearing voices swept clean of improvised literary devices, downsized into data points, degraded into industrial-waste product.
Ambiguity doesn't sell the shoes. Neither does taking time to think, or allowing too long a pause between the subject and the predicate. In the synthetic America the Beautiful, everything good is easy, anything difficult is bad, and the customer is always right. The body politic divides into constituencies of one, separate states of wishful thinking receding from one another at the speed of light.
Every loss of language, whether among the northern Inuit or the natives of the Jersey Shore, the critic George Steiner writes down as "an impoverishment in the ecology of the human psyche" comparable to the depletion of species in California and Ecuador. The abundance of many languages (as many as 68 of them in Mexico), together with the richness of their lexical and grammatical encoding (the many uses of the subjunctive among certain tribes in Africa) stores, as do the trees in Amazonia, a "boundless wealth of possibility" that cannot be replaced by the machinery of the global market.

Any plans for the upcoming weekend.
Open all weekend, anyone up for a short simple trip? I am thinking Gas Peak with a hike to the peak. Throw out some ideas to see if we can get some interest.
Should be a nice weekend too with the temps in the 70's. I would love to hit a trail, but it is the wife's last weekend in town before she leaves.
I am down Saturday for other things and should be doing some work around here Sunday so I can make a trip in a couple of weeks.
This weekend I am either changing my transmission fluid and some other minor things or finally removing my sumac which I hate with a passion. LOL. If I remove it I would be installing something new too so...yeah.
Repairman was talking about doing gass peak sometime. Shot him a message.
As my calendar sits currently, I do not have a free weekend until 4 weeks from now. On the plus side I have a Death Valley trip planned with a few friends next weekend in the Jeep. I am leaving the bike at home finally and hitting the dunes and anything else we can find out there. :) Just ordered my portable compressor and a tow strap just in case and I have a bunch of beer left over from our Daytona 500 party. Throw in a bunch of cigars and I think I am good.
I don't know that I'm up for the 7 mile gass peak hike right now. Maybe something shorter.
I'd be up to take a ride. Maybe we can look at some of the other short side roads as well.
If anyone else is interested, we will be meeting at 10:00 am at the McDonald's at Farm and Durango just off the 95. The game plan is some exploring along the Gas Peak trail. I don't think the trail goes all the way thru so it will be in and out the same trail. Bring a lunch.
It was a good run with some nice views of the city. A really great day in the desert.

I had always intended on starting 2008 exactly where I left 2007, with further discussions on the topic of ageism in comic books. My good pal Steven Bove beat me to the punch though and sent through this essay with the view of it being posted here. Steven might not be a household name in the comic book industry, but he does have the credentials to be heard on almost any topic related to comic books, he's been there and he's done it. And to add to this, if anyone else out there has something they want to get off their chest about this topic that might not fit into the comments section then drop me a line and I'll see what I can do. Without further commentary from me I'll hand this post over to Steven Bove!
YOU on Old Age!
By Steven Bove
I'm old. I didn't mean to be but there you have it. I don't particularly feel old and I haven't started listing to Barbara Streisand or playing slots but there's some gray in my hair and I'm none too fond of the direction much of the entertainment industry has taken in the last 20 years.
I left comics back in the 90s because I saw the inevitable need to learn computer graphics and the comic company I worked for was too slow to respond. That was the primary reason. But even before I left I could see the books mutating into something very unattractive and the stories I had heard in the last few years of cutbacks and layoffs never ceased (even in the profitable years). I also had a boss that once a week made sure that I knew I was expendable.
There's been talk of a blacklist in the industry and I can say I've never seen or heard of one. I have seen lists generated by editors proclaiming that certain artists were always late with their work and that any editor who sought their work should know it. Lateness, then and now, is always the topic of choice in the industry.
Ageism strikes every major facet of the entertainment world and because of our insatiable need to have a camera on every incident that occurs we're often drawn to celebrities that are young, uneducated and inexperienced. They too possess that indestructible confidence that only youth can exhibit. When their fifteen minutes are up there will be a new batch of young things ready to embarrass themselves. Much of the world relishes this kind of gossip and obsessive tendency for young glamorous programming that rules every form of mass communication. I wonder when someone will put a camera in front of Angel Tompkins or Jean Hale. You don't remember them? That's okay; they're over 50 so no one cares.
There are exceptions to the rule, in music Led Zeppelin just proved it. Their December 10th reunion concert in London was a success despite their ages. The downside is that they're simply reliving former glories. The plus side is they can certainly make a boatload of money on it and that's only because they own the rights to the recorded material. Ownership is everything. If you look at a recent copy of Rolling Stone (December, 13 2007) the top 10 albums are by a fairly diverse group of artists:
1) Alicia Keys
2) Josh Groban
3) Celine Dion
4) Now 26
5) Garth Brooks
6) Eagles
7) Led Zeppelin
8) Jay-Z
9) Carrie Underwood
10) Chris Brown
It's still about the music even though it may favor the young. But acts like Jessica Simpson, Justin Timberlake and Fergie are temporary figures when compared to Led Zeppelin, U2 or Janis Joplin.
In fashion it's always about the next young anorexic dying to walk the runway. Models will literally stave and mutilate themselves to stay young and beautiful. But unlike many other industries of entertainment the fashion industry is very honest about its preferences and let's any aspiring model know it! And magazines flaunt it and people keep buying it. You don't hear much complaining in that industry because all parties concerned know when their time is up.
But we really what to focus on comics so let's have a very abbreviated look at where we're at.
If there's still a person in the comics' industry out there who hasn't read Gerard Jones' 'Men of Tomorrow', then shame on you. This one book will explain much of what you are now feeling. What many writers and artists must suffer through is just part of a cycle that began long before the idea of monthly comics took shape in America. It's a cycle much like a cancer that, even in the new millennium, we have failed to exercise.
And unfortunately we writers and artists are to blame.
Michael Netzer has expressed an idea of party unity that has its appeal but would never work in the current model. We have to remember that we are not talking about characters but licensed property. The 80s made sure of this difference the day Robin was killed off by fandom's unanimous vote! Licensed property can never truly belong to anyone who writes or draws it for want of a paycheck. It doesn't matter how brilliant they are as creators, the reality is the property belongs to the corporation and the creative team are simply guns-for-hire. No one is immune to this practice. It all comes down to the deal YOU make with the publisher. If we, as a body of creators, were to unite there would always be some young inexperienced schmuck that would cross the party lines to sell their soul to the corporation to draw Batman or Spider-Man. That's the reality of it and it's ugly.
Forget the fan base because their needs are to acquire the product produced and more often than not put it into a plastic bag and then into a box. Or even worse, put it into a hard plastic shell never be read! I'll also take this one step further, the day the fan base started to create their own comics they began to move away from the corporate licensed property. And they proved to be the smart ones. By creating their own concepts and characters the fan base realized that they too could have something that could one day be absorbed by a corporation and make them celebrities on the comic convention circuit. Of course being a comics' celebrity is like being the top fish in an aquarium but it's far better than being a fan. Not all of the work is good (most of the time it's dreadful and there are boxes of it for sale, usually 25¢ a book, at every convention) but it does show the true entrepreneurial spirit and you have to admire that.
The future for comics' creators is in the creation of new characters. Owned exclusively by and managed by the creators. That was partially what Image Comics was about and before them, First Comics and Pacific Comics and way before that Star*Reach. It's important to know the history of this medium and the results are being felt now with Comicmix.com, and only time will tell how Zuda.com will evolve. In the case of Comicmix.com it was started by some of the young upstarts of the eighties who later left the industry and have now returned to it with an emphasis on using new forms of communication to reach a new audience of potential readers. It's a strong beginning by many familiar names and just might hold a shred of hope for the future of comics.
It isn't a matter of ageism so much as it's a matter of acceptance (not enough material to go around) of the limitations (low sales and poor distribution) of the current form and moving beyond it.
When the 2nd generation of comics creators emerged in the late 60s they held their heroes from the 40s and 50s in high regard. So any new talent walking in had to meet and exceed those standards. And exceed they did with more personalized storytelling and explosive graphics. Comics were also picking up on trends (as they always had) and trying to utilize everything from art, literature and movies to create different forms of storytelling. Jim Steranko would affect the later James Bond series of films as The Rocket Man serials would affect Dave Stevens. Andy Warhol borrowed and cut up comic art and created pieces that sold for thousands! Everyone borrowed from everyone. By the 70s newer talent emerged on the scene bringing their own unique personalities into the industry. For example Jim Starlin brought madness and Howard Chaykin brought old Hollywood style. And then the 80s happened. As comics segregated themselves into comic shops it was a free-for-all as styles converged and exploded. Suddenly there was a range of writing and artist expression that hadn't really been experienced in comics before. The ideas of a 'house-style' were thrown out for something close to originality. The Brits came in and became the celebrities of the medium (much to the annoyance of many American artists).
Comics changed even as the numbers of books decreased going to print and being sold. Much of this period almost went by unseen (by a mass audience) and that was tragic. Anyone remember 'The American' from Dark Horse? The 90s became the era of special effects and elaborate packaging with very little concern for content. The bubble burst in the late 90s and the comics' recession began. Older and more expensive talent was let go in favor of some kid-editor's best friend or worse some editor's girlfriend (with NO comics' experience) was suddenly in the drivers seat! The 21st century gave birth to super-heroes as movie stars and the elaborate repackaging of classic books from both DC and Marvel appeared in bookstores. Many of the creators of these classics watched from the outside and saw not one dime from it all. There are stories many could tell and I still can't figure out why more creators haven't stepped forward to express them. Some of these stories would make a great novel. Of course I do know why some of these stories have not seen print. It's that eternal hope that the phone will ring one day. Many great creators have died waiting for the phone to ring.
I've heard it said from several creators that the editors at the companies often made promises to take care of their talent. The frustration of these promises being broken often speaks volumes. Spend a year or two in corporate America and that concept becomes a joke. No corporation will ever look out for talent. Talent is expendable and easily replaced. It doesn't matter if the newer talent is any good because they too are temporary. Talent must take care of itself and that begins by assuming responsibility for ones work and taking ownership.
Let me remind you that these are all universal concepts in the world of entertainment, out with the old and in with the new. Followed by that nostalgic need to bring back the old. But when it comes to talent, that's very rare in comics. The answer to why was made earlier on; its licensed property and anyone can be hired to do it. The objective will always be to stay relevant and appear in touch with youth culture. It's a painful truth but a 13 year old knows more about being 13 than a 50 year old does. And don't believe that crap about 'kids are all the same' they're not. This new generation is full of information that previous generations never had the opportunity or the means to assimilate (Internet, cell phone, etc.). They are a new breed of consumer and targeting them means staying current…if you want to survive. Someone recently reminded me of an old marketing adage that I've always known, "The product isn't being aimed at you". That's code for "you're old."
I have no regrets about doing my own strips and having them fail. They're mine and that's something I can pass on to my child to do with as they wish. My current strip Rock Opera addresses my own advancing age and in many ways shows how ageless the idea of comics really is. That's another part of the problem; many people view comics as an antiqued art form.
I should mention the deadly game of samples. Here's how EVERY artist should approach it and I wrote about it in my 2005 book, 'The Comic Cartoonist's Workbook'. Never do samples unless there is some form of monetary exchange. If a company calls to inquire about your availability on a project your portfolio should be varied and professional enough to get you the job. It also wouldn't hurt to have a web presence. Talk with Daniel Best to learn more about that! Sure a job will come along where you might decide to do the odd sample for free but that depends on the relationship you have with the company. For writers I would shy away from it altogether. A good story is worth it's weight in gold and even a rejected idea will usually spark something and before you know it you're wondering why a recently published story reads a bit familiar.
Much of what I've written is really old news and the truth of it all is that a change in how comics are sold and distributed must take place first before the needs of the talent can be addressed. Beyond everything else we have to bring comics OUT of their segregated world and into the public domain so real people can experience them. The idea of bringing people IN simply isn't working. If that means a new form then that's what must be embraced. We're talking about advertising and marketing concerns and that is the working basis of every corporation.
It's just business and creators have to accept it as gospel. Of course it doesn't have to remain this way…

I mentioned to them before they left that there is another Upper Falls here in case they were interested in seeing that one too. We climbed around at the base of the falls getting pictures. Again, the bright sunny day made for beautiful weather, but not so great pictures. It's a shame, because Dill Falls ...

We didn't spend too much time as we had many more waterfalls to get so started heading back after a couple pictures. Back at the car, we drove back a short ways on FSR 475 and parked outside the gate leading to Cove Creek Group Campground. There was a bicycle event so this area was even more crowded than expected.

I think I was dehydrated and should have drank more water because I got a terrible headache. We came back to the hotel and I ...

Miranda's Bio
I am a mother of two with another on the way in September. My boys are 8 and 4. I have 15 years of childcare experience, most of which within the home as a nanny or babysitter. I've been blessed with amazing families over the years who were open to my children growing and learning along side one another and they will forever hold a special place in my heart. I love the relationships and bonds formed between my children and the children I have cared for over the years, some of the greatest friendships they've ever had and the same goes for me and the parents.

My family and I love being outside and spend most of our summer adventuring...either hiking, riding bikes, walking, swimming etc.
I am hoping to find a family that is flexible and would allow for my children to be around when there is a snow day/vacations/summer. I have a van that seats 7 that was purchased recently and is very reliable. I am happy to help with errands, housework, laundry etc. I have references and a resume available upon request. I look forward to hearing from you!

A Typical Modern Vampire Story
An idea I had while at the library, something typical, but, with my own flair, just cuz.
Chapter one:
He woke me with a kiss. Not from sleep, but from that place between life and death, where all your vitals have frozen, and your body is beginning to fall apart, but just before your soul leaves to find the afterlife or whatever it is out there that happens after death. It is a place sometimes of pain, more often of numbness, a human stays in this place for just a moment. He was good at judging this moment. All the doctors and nurses had already decided I was dead, but not him. So he kissed me. I opened my eyes to see his face, ice pale and strikingly handsome, mere inches from my own.
He instructed me to close them again and to hold my breath. I found I could do this easily. I appeared as if dead to all. He told me he'd find me, then left my side as the humans set about my burial. I did not move, did not breath, did not do anything for three days as I was dressed in my finest clothes, placed in a coffin, oak, lined in velvet, I often wondered why coffins were padded so, it is for my kind, so that we may pass out of memory comfortably. I was laid in the ground and then buried, but I was not afraid. He said he would come, and I believed him.
Not long after I had been buried, a shaft of light appeared. My case, for I could not call it a coffin, it was too comfortable, and after all, I was alive, had been opened to the air once more. I did not move, did not breath, but I could feel him, sitting at my side.
"You may breath now." He said as calmly as if he'd told me to stop merely a few seconds ago and not a few days. I did so and a wave of smells hit my nose. The smell of wet grass, freshly dug earth, The smell of the water in the air, for it must have recently rained. The sun was down, yet it was not dark. The colors were as vibrant now as during the day. Softer light filtered down from the stars, they peaked out from the clouds. Large stones rose up out of the ground everywhere, carved and shaped. Graves. The ground was put back the way it was before, only I was now standing behind it. The stone near mine said.
Julia Starfawlt
"Your life ended much too soon."
I was touched, and part of me regretted that I wouldn't be able to live up to their expectations. I had no intentions of resting in peace, for I had been given a second chance. I looked at my rescuer, he smiled at me, and took my hand. I followed, leaving my old life behind. I didn't know what was ahead, but I trusted the man who saved me, and I faced the future without fear.

Daniel, I completely agree with everything you stated. The word giant is used far too often to describe people that work in the comics field. Kubert was a giant that worked among mortal men. There is a big, empty, hole in the industry today. One that can never be filled.

This saddens me more than I can tell. We have lost giants recently including Robinson, Severin and Simon. They are almost all gone, the people who created this industry.

Ornans, Courbet?s birthplace, is near the beautiful valley of the Doubs River, and it was here as a boy, and later as a man, that he absorbed the love of landscape. He was by nature a revolutionary, a man born to oppose existing order and to assert his independence; he had that quality of bluster and brutality which makes the revolutionary count in art as well as in politics. In both directions his spirit of revolt manifested itself. He went to Paris to study art, yet he did not attach himself to the studio of any of the prominent masters. Already in his country home he had had a little instruction in painting, and preferred to study the masterpieces of the Louvre. At first his pictures were not sufficiently distinctive to arouse any opposition, and were admitted to the Salon. Then followed the Funeral at Ornans, which the critics violently assailed: ?A masquerade funeral, six metres long, in which there is more to laugh at than to weep over.? Indeed, the real offence of Courbet?s pictures was that they represented live flesh and blood. They depicted men and women as they really are and realistically doing the business in which they are engaged. His figures were not men and women deprived of personality and idealised into a type, posed in positions that will decorate the canvas. He advocated painting things as they are, and proclaimed that la vérité vraie must be the aim of the artist. So at the Universal Exposition of 1855 he withdrew his pictures from the exhibition grounds and set them in a wooden booth, just outside the entrance. Over the booth he posted a sign with large lettering. It read, simply: ?Courbet ? Realist.? Like every revolutionary, he was an extremist. He ignored the fact that to every artist the truth of nature appears under a different guise according to his way of seeing and experiencing. Instead, he adhered to the notion that art is only a copying of nature and not a matter also of selection and arrangement. In his contempt for prettiness Courbet often chose subjects which may fairly be called ugly. But that he also had a sense of beauty may be seen in his landscapes. That sense, mingled with his capacity for deep emotion, appears in his marines ? these last being his most impressive work. Moreover, in all his works, whether attractive or not to the observer, he proved himself a powerful painter, painting in a broad, free manner, with a fine feeling for colour, and with a firmness of pigment that made all his representations very real and stirring.

text: I've tried to read through lots of threads on similar topics, but I'm not 100% sure I have it all correct and wanted to check. Our family (me, DH, and DD who will be 14 months old) are staying at the Anaheim Marriott Suites for our visit. We know it's not in walking distance, but it met our requirements better than hotels within walking distance. We also do not plan on using the ART, as we'd prefer to put our DD in a carseat, which isn't really possible on a shuttle, so we'll be driving to Disneyland on our days there. (we'll have a rental car anyway) Anyway, I've learned that the parking deck will open 30 minutes before the opening of the park, but also that the whole parking system will take some time. Would it work for DH to drop DD and me off at the main entrance (or wherever shuttles drop off or something) so that we could go wait at the gate to get in (I'm assuming there's a line to get in?), and then he could join us after going through parking? How long will parking really take? On MM/EE days, does the parking deck open 30 minutes before them or just 30 minutes before the park officially opens (and therefore 30 minutes after MM/EE starts)? If we wanted to leave during the day and come back later, would parking still take just as long? I'm not really sure we'll do this, but wanted to see anyway. Thanks so much for your help!!

The food is terrible and the chef keep talking to customers with her mouth ful. The chef is a fat black lady and she is the one taking the others aswell. She told a customer in front of me and friends that he can go to another restaurant just because he resquested for food that takes time to cook. Grill fish.
She was very very very rude. Both her atitude, body language, the way she was roaring her eyes and complaining that she 's not well paid as a chef.
I went on the weekend not to long ago, the restaurant is very nice though the chairs for the table is quite uncomfortable. The food is decent the atmosphere is great and the music played was soul and rare groove which was a very good collection.
The staff were nice and there's a young lovely waitress who made my day even better, while she was working being busy she still managed to still make me feel really welcome. I definitely enjoyed my visit and will be coming back soon.

The C Programming Language (2nd
edition) by Kernighan & Ritchie
This book (widely known as K&R, after the authors'
initials) has for over twenty years been the best way to learn C. This small book
(270 pages, including the index) served me well through my degree.
The book focuses on the language
itself - this is no hands-on book in a clear, concise, and thorough way covering
all of the language and it's standard libraries.
With this book I had
no problem understanding the more difficult subjects (e.g. many people have problems
with pointers, and this book makes the subject easy to understand) and avoiding
This book is not "for Dummies".
It assumes that you already have some knowledge of structured programming languages.
For example, this book spends four well-written pages explaining everything you
need to know about functions. If you don't know what a function is, this will
clearly not be enough. However, if you do know about functions, this book will not
drone on and on for an entire chapter or two on the subject like some of the foot-crunching
tomes the size of an encyclopedia.
From the Publisher:
This second edition describes C as defined by the
ANSI standard. This book is meant to help the reader learn how to program in C.
The book assumes some familiarity with basic programming concepts like variables,
assignment statements, loops, and functions. A novice programmer should be able
to read along and pick up the language.
My suggestion:
Learn everything on this website----->Read
C Programming Language" (2nd edition) by Kernighan & Ritchie
"----->Be a master in C Programming Language.

Hubert de Givenchy began his career by learning the art of haute couture at the hands of some of the most skilled couturiers of the early 20th century. After starting his own eponymous label in the 1950's, he quickly began to change the face of luxury fashion by being the first major designer to present a ready-to-wear line, effectively taking fashion out of the salons and into the streets. Since Italian designer Riccardo Tisci took over the label in 2005, Givenchy has become a more visible global presence, producing season after season of covetable graphic tees and much sought-after prints for their ready-to-wear line.

Residential Customer Equivalent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Residential Customer Equivalent (RCE) is a unit of measures used by the energy industry to denote the typical annual commodity consumption by a single-family residential customer.[1] Also known as "RCE" for short, a single RCE represents 1,000 therms of natural gas or 10,000 kWh of electricity.
RCE is often used to help normalize the size of energy companies. Energy companies serve a number of customers that is typically different from the RCE value consumed by those customers. For example, an LDC or ESCO may serve 50,000 customers but many of those can be commercial or industrial customers, so that same company can be said to serve 400,000 RCE.

The 'C' WordMature
It was in Year 5 that I was first properly introduced to this concept of cancer. The big 'C' word. My best friend's mother had had it and survived through it. My mother soon got it afterwards and she battled her way through. Myself and my best friend held onto each other at these points and we fought our own personal emotions inside to stay strong for our parents. Afterwards it was a moment of relief and happiness. We had past the worst... at least we thought.
The summer holidays before I was due into high school my mother asked my father and step-mother to bring my brother and I over to her house. We were most confused, had we done something wrong? Nope, it was just going to be an addition to the family suffering. My mother had got cancer again. This time it was terminal. Before she had had breast cancer and the doctors had said it was clear, turned out the 'sleeping' cancer cells had drifted over to her liver and taken hold their. She was due to die in September, just as I was entering high school.
It was a long couple of months with family and friends popping out of nowhere to finally appear in our lives and play a role as the ever-concerned family members. Where had they been the whole time? It was difficult to grasp a moment with my mother and in the end I never truly did. She made time for my brother but it didn't seem I was worth the effort. My step-father receded into his childlike state and spent his time on xbox and such, shutting himself out from the situation, pretending a simple game could protect him. He lost his time with her too.
Soon September came round and I was preparing myself for high school my mother was preparing herself for death. She was bed-ridden at this point and on a lot of medication. Mainly morphine to try and keep the pain away but we could all see the suffering whispering out of her smile. She was fading away and we all knew it.
My entry into high school did not help the situation. Most of my friends had gone to a new high school and I was left with two other people whom were soon to abandon me to the wolves of the corridors. I was bullied daily for my short hair, my long skirts, my knowledge and my general differences. They made sure I could never recover from the experience and add to my social problems that would stick with me for the rest of my life. The teachers turned a blind eye, noting I was the geeky girl and it was just the way of life.
There were auditions held for the school play, 'Bugsy Malone', in early October. It seemed only natural for me to try and fit in somewhere so went to the auditions. During the acting audition, just as it was my turn to go in, my head of year burst through the double doors and ran up to me, her eyes brimming with tears. The clack of her heels brought the news nearer and nearer to me and by the time she was kneeling in front of me I knew- mum had died. My dad was waiting outside and asked me to get in the car where my brother and step-mother were already waiting. They had been crying. My dad pulled out of the school and drove directly to my mother's house. There we went past the crunchy driveway, into the house and up the stairs to her room.
You would expect a grim scene from all the horror movies you watch but in reality a dead person looks just like they do normally, just a bit bluer and bloated. She had a mocking smile on her face which my step-mother forced us to kiss before we departed. The chill of death stayed on my lips as I left the room, my eyes still dry and my emotions still numb.
The funeral was a few days later. Lots of people came. I re-auditioned for the play. I got the part of a ventriloquist dummy and lost it soon afterwards when my partner didn't show up. I was demoted to a down-and-out. I was motherless. I was bullied daily. What now?

Mavic Ksyrium Pro Road WheelsetThe Mavic Ksyrium Pro upholds the standard long set by the Ksyrium line: lightweight, high stiffness, and bombproof durability. This newest incarnation has been updated with a redesigned wider rim for improved comfort, and better support for wider tires. The new ISM 4D rim is 2mm wider than the previous version, which might not sound like a lot--but it actually makes a world of difference by allowing for bigger air volume, and improved sidewall support and better riding characteristics with tires up to 32mm. It also allows for lower air pressure and decreased rolling resistance, so you can ride faster and more comfortably. These new rims are laced to the hub with Mavic's Zircal spokes in their Isopulse pattern for better spike tension and durability. The hubs roll on Mavic's QRM bearings for smooth sailing with a long wear life, and have an FTS-L freehub body for easy service and maintenance.

- Ideal for all-road conditions
- Premium QRM bearings roll smooth and fast
