A Tear in the Ocean
"I haven't seen her since yesterday," I voiced my thoughts to my sister. We were standing in the long, winding hallway devoid of any light. I could sense her scrutinizing every detail of my weary and concerned face and every corner of my heart. "I am worried about her Stella, I don't know what to do..."
In the pitch darkness, it was hard to tell if her eyes were looking at me tenderly and compassionately or were full of hatred. I didn't reach out for her either, in fear she'd push me back and scream at me for being a jerk and for screwing her best friend's life. I just stood there motionless, in the silence and in the dark. I heard her shifting in place, she must be tired, after all, it was midnight. The window at the end of the hallway was heavily curtained and the fact that the moon was not in its usual spot in the sky didn't shed any light into the darkness either. I heard her sighed and curiously I found myself holding my breath as I waited for her answer.
"Aidan, just give her some space," she said in a kind manner. "Don't worry yourself about it right now, just go back to bed."
"But," I protested, but she silenced me when I felt her turn away from me and walk back to her dimly lighted room. Her door closed behind her with a muffled slam and I was left alone. I hung my head low and walked back to my room hunched, hunched because of all the mistakes weighing down on me, hunched because I didn't feel like standing upright and proud of myself right now. And so, I went back to my bed in the haven of my room. I flopped on the bed and pulled the blankets over me, trying to wash the thoughts of her out of my weary mind.
For several hours I twisted and stirred on my bed, trying hard to fight consciousness and willing myself to fall into the deep slumber that will take time to come. I sighed heavily and allowed myself to recreate happy moments with her. The images that came to my mind were torturous, it was the evening we broke up. It was the end of July, we were standing in a patch of soft green grass under a dogwood tree in the park near her house. The sky was blushing behind her and the song of the birds was that of home. She looked beautiful as always, but there was something broken in her as I confessed.
"I never meant to hurt you, Eva," I said in a constricted voice. I fought the urge to take her in my arms and rock her agonies away. Her soft brown hair was flowing with the delicate breeze that caressed the park, her deep blue eyes were mirroring the few burning stars that were appearing in the sunset sky. She was staring at the lush, green grass and toeing it with her black converse. Her fingers were entwined with each others in front of her and her long eyelashes were shielding her azure eyes from me. "Eva..." I called her name, I wanted to hear her voice, to know if she was okay.
"It is okay," she said quietly and brushed a lock of hair behind her shoulder. She shrugged, "I understand..."
Relief didn't come over me either. I reached out for her but she backed away. I was a moron, why did I accepted the bet? It was never heard of a football jock dating an Emo girl before, but I tampered with the rule and during the process I experienced the most blissful moments in my life and I also caused the most painful for her. Somebody had told her about the bet on the day of our first month together. Being with her was different, it was a whole new world and a whole new perspective. She understood me like no one else could and I told her my deepest secrets and wishes. I loved it when we'd lie on the grass during twilight and gaze at the stars silently. All was gone, like sand blowing in the wind.
"It is late," she said, her eyes were still locked on the grass, "for what's worth, how much did you won?"
Words were caught in my throat and there was a searing pain in the back of my throat and in my heart. I was speechless as she lifted her deep blue eyes and stared at me. I always told her her eyes were like oceans; deep, mysterious, vast, and inviting. I always lost myself and sunk in them eagerly. Her eyes were a shade darker and grimmer and there was a tear welling in the corner of her right eye, that gently rolled down her cheek. She nodded and turned to walk away from me. That was the end, she never looked back.
The night engulfed me in quiet tranquility. I learned too late that I loved her and I will forever regret that tear I caused in the ocean of blue.

News - JCDecaux largest digital market share in OOH
JCDecaux largest digital market share in OOH
JCDecaux continues to dominate the digital Out-of-Home (OOH) market as the single largest media owner, according to Route's latest figures, the OOH industry currency.
According to this week's Route 22 (R22) data release, JCDecaux has seen an increase in its digital impacts to reach 583.5 million per week, an increase of 50 million impacts since August 2016, which is double that of its closest competitor.
Following the appointment of Stephan Lavollee to Digital Transformation and IT Director last month, the latest Route data re-confirms JCDecaux's leading position within the UK digital OOH market. The company's progress over the past 6 months, adding new digital screens across its flagship London Digital Network (LDN) – a 10% increase since R21 – as well as iconic digital superstructures, SmartScreen@Tesco, premium malls, Heathrow Airport and the nation's busiest transport hubs, proves that JCDecaux is on track to doubling its digital audience and reaching #onebillioneyeballs per week by the end of 2017.
Spencer Berwin, Co-Chief Executive Officer at JCDecaux, said: "The latest Route data reaffirms our ambitious target of hitting one billion weekly viewed impressions as well as reaching 50% of the UK population by the end of 2017. Our impressive reach, combined with our continuous investment in our digital portfolio, will give advertisers the unique ability to target a broad audience with impressive creativity that is founded on intelligent data-based insights."

They may be the underdogs but according to our stats guru, history is on the side of the Chiefs ahead of Saturday's clash with the Crusaders.
CHIEFS v CRUSADERS (Hamilton, Referee Steve Walsh)
This is the sixth time these two teams have met in the past two years, and the Chiefs are ahead three wins to two - including their win in last year's Super Rugby semifinal.
It will be the 15th time the Crusaders have played in a Super Rugby semifinal, while for the Chiefs it is just their fourth occasion.
Out of the 57 Super Rugby playoff games played over the years, the away team has only won on nine occasions. The Crusaders have achieved an away win in a semifinal twice out of a total of six away games.
No New Zealand team has ever lost a home playoff game (there have been 15 in total), so history appears to be on the side of the Chiefs.
The Crusaders don't have the greatest of away records in 2013, having won just three of their eight games on the road. The Chiefs don't have an umblemished record at home this season having lost to the Reds in round nine.
The Chiefs have the worst lineout in the competition this season, winning just 79 percent of their throws. The Crusaders are sitting at 83 percent on their throws, and have won 51 opposition lineouts.
The Chiefs have made the most linebreaks of any team this season, averaging 9.3 per game. The Crusaders are averaging 7.2 per game.
The Crusaders average 10.4 offloads per game, while the Chiefs average 12.7. Aaron Cruden is the best of the Chiefs with 26 for the season.
Matt Todd is the second highest tackler in the competition having finished the regular season with 218, making 94 percent of his tackles. Liam Messam has made 182 tackles, and has a 93 percentage success rate.
Gareth Anscombe returns to fullback for the Chiefs - he is currently sitting on 166 points, putting him second behind Beauden Barrett (186 points) who is the top New Zealand points scorer in 2013. Dan Carter is close behind in 3rd place with 156 points.
The Crusaders had a goal kicking success rate of 84 percent during the regular season, with Tom Taylor kicking at 90 percent and Dan Carter at 88 percent. The Chiefs had a 76 percent success rate.
Referee Steve Walsh has refereed nine Super games this season and has awarded a total of eight yellow cards and one red card. He was also the referee when the Chiefs lost to the Reds.

City budget picture offers good and bad news
The bleak economic picture in the state likely will make the Spokane City Council's job balancing the 2012 harder by about a $1 million, the city's budget director told the council on Thursday.
But not all the news at a council budget briefing on was bad. Budget Director Tim Dunivant said better-than-expected sales tax revenues will help carry the city through 2011 without the need for additional cuts. Through August, the city collected $13.6 million in sales taxes, about a $1 million more than expected.
That increase will help offset unexpected declines of more than $100,000 each in water, sewer and telephone utility taxes and gambling taxes as well as $93,000 less than expected in parking tickets. Dunivant said the decline in tickets is related to an opening for a parking enforcement officer that has since been filled. (He said about 400 people applied for the job). The sales tax cushion also should protect the city from an expected decline in liquor sales revenue from the state, he said.
Earlier this year, the city estimated that the city in 2012 will receive $6.7 million less than what would be needed to maintain current services with the same number of employees covered by the general fund. The general fund pays for police, fire, parks, libraries and other services paid for through taxes as opposed to utility fees.
Dunivant said he expects that number to grow by about $1 million before Mayor Mary Verner releases her final draft budget in October.
He said some city departments have been asked to prepare for an additional 1 or 2 percent cut.
Verner's preliminary budget plan, announced in May proposed closing the gap, in part, by diverting $400,000 in red-light-camera traffic fines to the general fund, increasing parking penalty revenue by $200,000 and netting $800,000 by increasing the hotel tax.

The International Energy Conservation Code (IECC 2009 and 2012) requires HVAC ducts to be tested to prove a minimum leakage. While many states and localities will adopt this code outright, it is likely that many will also amend it to allow inspection and sealing alternatives. Many HVAC contractors are bound to breathe a sigh of relief at not having to face potential failure and the subsequent looking for the 'leak in the trunk line' that will eat up their profit margins by the…Continue

For a technician or auditor that works outside of the Oil Heating Industry, seeing a tank leaking in a basement can send you into a moment of shock. Then of course, the dreaded conversation with the Homeowner will cast a cloud. The key is to have a plan, and know what to do. The smallest amount of knowledge in this subject could make you the hero. Simply stating, "Call your Oil Company!" can leave them feeling helpless.

We all have stories about losing power in our home for several hours—or days—and many people suspect that power interruptions are becoming more frequent. They may be right; unfortunately, the utility data are so sketchy that nobody can say for certain. But declining investment in maintenance on the part of utilities, plus the increased frequency of extreme weather caused by climate change, are almost certain to keep the blackouts coming.

The refurbishment will provide a new clinical skills teaching laboratory, new accommodation for clinicians and veterinary interns, relocation of the school's consultation rooms and clinical pathology lab, and a new pharmacy.
The clinical skills teaching laboratory will be a dedicated instructional room, hosting a range of interactive models and simulators for training and self-study.
Alun Williams, professor of veterinary diagnostic pathology, said: "The new clinical skills teaching laboratory will provide our students with modern, state-of-the-art facilities to practise and improve their proficiencies in a wide range of practical skills needed by new graduates. The support of the trust with this initiative is invaluable."
Most of the funding has been provided through bequests, however, the trust still needs to raise £270,000 to equip the new teaching lab and consultation rooms. Work is set to begin in June 2013 and finish in September 2014.
Fourth-year veterinary student Laura McLeod added: "The clinical skills lab will make a massive difference to us. We usually only get to see or perform many techniques once or twice while working in the hospital; to be able to practise these will make us better students and better vets. It will also mean we can make better use of the staff in our final year rotations to learn and improve complex procedures, while being able to perform more basic skills in our own time."

NEW YORK (AP) - Amazon has long acted like an ideal customer on its own website: a freewheeling big spender with no worries about balancing a checkbook. Investors confident in founder and CEO Jeff Bezos' invest-and-expand strategy flooded into the stock as the company revolutionized shopping, upended the book industry and took on the cloud - even though its vast range of initiatives ate up all the company's profits.

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) - He seemed lost, "did not fit in," had drug problems, and went more than five years without seeing his mother.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - The number of people who died trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border has dropped to the lowest level in 15 years as more immigrants turned themselves in to authorities in Texas and fewer took their chances with the dangerous trek across the Arizona desert.

I know other solicitors will be equally outraged to find that the Sycamore Support Group had considered "manipulating" council meetings to control the debate of bad news issues.
It matters not that this was not adopted as Sycamore's tactics to defeat the then Mears/ Sayer election ticket. What does matter is that the group was even prepared to discuss misleading the profession. When will these people learn that their job is to represent the profession, not to mislead it.
Until this happened I intended to vote for the Syc-amore/Mathews/Sayer ticket purely because of my high personal regard for Bob Sayer, who has worked tirelessly in promoting the interests of the profession. I now realise the only candidates worthy of our votes are Martin Mears (and David Keating) and Robert Sayer, who have already demonstrated their unswerving support for and loyalty to the profession. Contrast this with the near "invisibility" of Sycamore and Mathews who have done nothing of direct benefit for the profession.
You probably hadn't intended to vote; but vote now for Mears/Keating and Robert Sayer. Show your contempt for those council members who couldn't give a damn about our interests. Your vote will make a difference. Together let's produce a Mears/Keating/Sayer landslide victory.

The Newnham ball happened every year with lights strung from the walls and dangling above dancers heads as they spun with their partners. Mrs. Wilson was the organiser of the event this year, and was desperate to make it the best yet. The only man not taking part in the events was new to town. His friend stood beside him as they talked to each other and watched the dancers. "Why won't you join in Nathan? You're a part of this town for as long as you're here. Have some fun."
"Samuel I just can't. I don't belong here, not after what's happened, and you know that. Trust me I won't be staying for long." His mind flicked back to two weeks earlier when he had arrived on Samuel's doorstep, tired and partly drunk, as he asked a favour of his friend. "Just one dance. It's not like there aren't any young woman you might like." Samuel jabbed his elbow into Nathan's side as he gestured at a group of woman who had just entered. "The Farbranch sisters have always lived here. They're very friendly and would love to dance with someone like you," No answer came from Nathan who was watching the group intently. "Well if you won't dance than I will. It's better than staying here all night." Nathan sighed as he watched his friend enjoy the company of one of the sisters. "You're new in Newnham, aren't you?" He turned to look at the young woman talking to him and watched her speak to him. "Sorry I don't mean to be rude. I was just wandering because I've never seen you here before."
"It's fine..." Nathan trailed off as he looked at her properly, searching those blue, blue eyes for something he didn't even know. "You're Mr. Farbranch's daughters aren't you?"
"Yes, I'm Emily Farbranch, it's nice to meet you."
"Nathan. Nathan Granger. Would you like to dance?"
"Yes, that would be nice." She smiled sweetly at him and he took her arm and walked her away. Behind his false smile Nathan's mind wandered at what he had said. "It's not a complete lie," He thought to himself, "I mean, my name really is Nathan, but no one can know who I really am. Of course I'm not a Granger, but it's a lot less suspicious. What have I done? If someone finds out-" His train of thoughts was stopped as she started talking to him in her soft, slightly accented voice. "So how are you related to Mr. Granger?"
"I'm his cousin, we went to university together and are good friends."
"Mr. Grangers a good man, he does a lot for the town, very wealthy as well. What do you do for a living?" This question had him stuck as he tried to think straight, the heat was making him dizzy as they spun round and round with the other dancers. "I'm a lawyer. Although I don't have my own practice and haven't worked for a while now."
"Are you alright? You look a bit flushed. Maybe we should go outside...?" They walked out onto the balcony and watched over the town of Newnham. "I've lived here for all of my twenty years. What was your home like, before you came to stay here? It's just that we rarely go anywhere except for when we stay with relatives."
"It was a town, like Newnham, although not as friendly. I have to say that it could be nice, however the people living there weren't very neighbourly."
"Oh that's a shame." They stood in silence for a few minutes, neither of them knowing what to say. "What about you? I've gone on about myself and I want to know about you." Her eyes glinted in the moonlight as she smile at him and threaded her arm through his. "Well, I've lived in Newnham all my life but have spent summers living with my aunt. I have four sisters and am the third oldest. I also have an older brother who is studying medicine at university. He's always wanted to be a doctor. What else would you like to know?" She looked into his eyes then and there was a lot more about her Nathan wanted to know. "What are your dreams in life?"
"Well that's a limited answer, obviously I'm a woman, so I guess the dream is to get married to a wealthy man, have kids and live in a big house near Newnham." Sadness crept into her voice as her head sank towards her shoulders. Nathan stopped walking and lifted Emily's head to look at her. "To me that doesn't sound like your dream. If you could do anything in the world what would it be?"
"I would go to university and become educated in something other than music, art and sewing. I would do something to help people that was exciting as well. Helping those who are worse off than me." Passion over took Emily as she confessed her dreams to this mysterious stranger she'd only met an hour earlier. By the time she had finished her cheeks were red with embarrassment, "I'm sorry, it wasn't right of me to burden you like this. It wasn't proper talk for a woman, I know that. I should go, my sisters will be looking for me."
"Wait. Don't go yet. We never had that proper dance." A smiled played across his lips as he looked at the humble surprise in her face. He took her hand and twirled her under his arm. They stepped and twirled as she laughed at his clumsy mistakes and the way he dipped her backwards. Nathan held Emily in his arms and enjoyed himself for the first time in weeks. Stars twinkled above them as they spent the next hour laughing with one another and enjoying the time they had to themselves. "Emily! Where are you?" A woman's voice came from the French doors as a middle aged woman searched for her daughter. "That's my mother, sorry I have to go. I didn't know it was so late!" She laughed as she looked at the shadowed figure across the garden. "Will I see you again?" Emily turned back to Nathan who was watching her curiously. "I should think so. Now go before she sends out a search party for you!" She smiled at him and gave a shy wave as they parted for the night. For once Nathan had been left speechless as he watched her leave the garden with her mother. He stood for a few moments as he thought about the girl he'd met, then returned to the dance to find his friend.

I have another site (new) which gets deepcrawled. Will this new site not be banned? The 2 site have "some" conection to eachother.
My question is if this is true?
small crawl=banned (over a long period of time)
deep crawl=not banned?
are you sure your first site allows Google to index you (robots text)?
A grey toolbar is not specifically a google ban, as a white toolbar is not specifically a Google penalty.
Strange Google does not give some clarifications on that on their website.
(at least I could not find any information on that).

Award winners at the Gogebic Community College Foundation's fourth annual Taste of the Gogebic Range receive trophies from foundation president Charlene Newhouse Monday. Iron Nugget owners and employees accept their "Best of Show" award. From left are Joe Walker, Newhouse, Colin DiGiorgio and Janet DiGiorgio. "It was a tough decision for the judges this year, and a tight competition for the votes by the participants," foundation director Kelly Marczak said. "All of the participating restaurants provided delicious samples of their wares that were beautifully displayed. The main winners of the event were the GCC students, who will benefit from this fundraiser through scholarships and other foundation projects."

July 22, 2013: Detection of B-mode Polarization by SPTpol.
October 26, 2012:
The SPT bandpowers (blue), WMAP7 bandpowers (orange), and the lensed CMB power spectrum with foregrounds theory spectrum that provides the best fit to the SPT+WMAP7 data shown for the CMB-only component (dashed line), and the CMB+foregrounds spectrum (solid line).
July, 2013: B-mode polarization detected with SPTpol. Scientists from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) project have detected subtle distortions referred to as 'B-modes' in the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB, preprint here). These distortions---detected for the first time in data from SPTpol, the polarization-sensitive receiver installed on the SPT in January, 2012---are thought to have only two sources: gravitational lensing of the more conventional 'E-mode' CMB polarization, and a background of gravitational waves from the epoch of cosmic inflation. The signals detected by SPTpol are due to gravitational lensing, and a sufficiently sensitive measurement of these signals will help us learn about neutrinos through their impact on the growth of structure in the universe. Successfully detecting this tiny B-mode signal also represents a major milestone along the way to using the CMB to learn about the earliest moments of the universe with the inflationary B modes.

Looking Back With Armando Gil
When asked inker Bob Almond had this to say about Armando, "I always thought he looked best over Michael Golden like in Avengers Annual 10 and The Nam, but I recall some impressive work over others as well like how much he enhanced Ron Wilson's work on the Superboxers graphic novel...and while he didn't do many long runs at Marvel, some issues stick out even to this day like his efforts inking Ron Frenz on a good run on Kazar, a shorter run with Pat Broderick on Micronauts, and an issue over Gene Day on Master of Kung-Fu. He wasn't a good fit on everyone and he had a strong style that could overwhelm a penciler...but that's the case with many inkers so he was no exception there. We definitely would have been better off to see more of his work over the years."
Norm Breyfogle also chipped in with a few thoughts. "Like a cross between Bernie Wrightson and Michael Golden but with a flair all his own," Norm says, "Gil's work is tremendous! His animals and monsters are breath-taking, as is everything else he draws."
Without any further ado, in conjunction with the launch of his first ever web-site, here's Armando Gil!
DB: I'll get the obvious question out of the way first, do you have any original pages of art left?
AG: Oh no, I don't have anything left, it's all been ransacked. [laughter] Various people. I'd get the work in and either I needed the money or I'd say to someone "You can have a couple of those," and they'd go, "Oh really!" can I have this one or that one?" An old buddy one time asked if he could have a few pin-ups and we were kinda drunk that night so he went ahead and took ten Conan pin-ups. A few years later I went into a comic store and was told how this guy came in off the street and was trying to sell them to them. I thought he was taking them as a gift because he really liked them. Oh well I guess he needed beer money. I don't do that anymore. NOT!
DB: So where do you come from?
AG: Santa Domingo, that's in Dominican Republic, it's in the Caribbean.
DB: Dave Simons describes you as being 'One mysterious Dominican'.
AG: [laughter] More like crazy. [laughter] They have a cigar called 'Wild Dominican'. That's me.
DB: When did you come to America?
AG: Back in 1963. That was right during the Cuban Missile time. There was a revolution going on there because they'd assassinated President Trujillo the year before. He was quite a dictator. I was recently doing some research on him and found out that for quite a while he was doing what they call 'ethnic cleansing' in the Dominican Republic because I guess the people from Haiti were trying to move in and he was killing them all off. So they didn't like him all that much, the people there, because he was killing a lot of their friends and families, so they killed him and the revolution started so my dad got us out of there before we got killed. There was a lot of shooting in the streets. My grandma stayed behind thank God she made it through that time, but during the revolution she had to put mattresses up at the front of the house so the bullets wouldn't get through. So we ended up in New York.
DB: What is your art background?
AG: I attended the High School of Art & Design in midtown Manhattan, but, not the same building or location but the same institution that Neal Adams, John Romita, Ron Wilson, Joe Rubenstein, Joe Jusko and Dennis Cowan attended. Quite a lot of comic book artists went to Art & Design. Joe Rubenstein was a grade up from me and once and a while I would hang out with him at Neal Adam's studio. Dennis Cowan also would come up there with me. Marvel Comics at the time was I think located on 57th street and Park avenue it was just a few blocks away. My friends David Yee and Randy and I used to walk past there on my way home from school. Atlas Comics were around there to at the time. I started in tenth grade submitting samples to Marvel comics every week. I'd take in a stack of drawings that I would stay up late at night to complete .Marvel comic's artist Ron Wilson took an interest in my work and took me under his wing. I would go to school then after school to Marvel and Ron would teach me comics. Stan Lee was still the publisher at Marvel and I would see him walking around up there. Boy he's a fast walker. One time I followed him just to see what he was like, and he just looked like he was a hurry to get somewhere. [chuckles] There was a big storage room in the back of Marvels office that a few artist made into a studio, so when Marvel closed for the day, Rich Buckler, Ed Hannigan, Ron Wilson and myself would be up there drawing away sometimes late into the night, other Artist people would come in and out once in awhile like Craig Russell, Howie Chaykin, Keith Pollard and a bunch of others that I probably didn't recognize. We'd stay there until around 10 at night sometimes later, Rich Buckler then took interest in me as an assistant so I would go over to his house and tighten up some of his pencils, some superhero stuff for DC comics he was doing, he would do it really loose and I'd tighten it up and he'd charge the full rate for a finish pencilled pages, I'd get around $25 per page [chuckles].
It was 1976 During that time I used to go and hang out in the West Village around west 4th street Manhattan New York by the Waverly Theatre, and next to it was a comic store owned by Dave Miley a long haired hippy kind of a guy and he had a lot of cool stuff like a big Vaughn Bode art collection and a mess of EC Comics. I had access to Marvel artist pencils and would Xerox them any chance I got, so one day I brought in a bunch of Xeroxes of Frank Robbins Marvel stuff to show Dave Miley, so Dave says, "Could I hold on to them because I have a guy who loves Frank Robbins Art" It was Dave Simons. Dave Simons is a big Frank Robbins fan so I got to meet him as a result of that. We both knew a guy, artist Ken Landgraf, a Sheboygan Wisconsin migrant to New York trying to make it big in comics. Ken knew people like Jeff Jones, Bernie Wrightson and Mike Kaluta, Frank Brunner, Wally Wood, etc, etc. I had been hanging out with Ken in his apartment studio in the east Village. After that for years Dave Simons, Ken Landgraf and I hung out like a team of artists trying to get into comic books. Ken would pull in the work and we would do the work. Ken would take his cut and give us whatever was left over. [laughter]
Professionally I worked for DC first. Ken did do a little bit of work for DC, he did Nightwing and Flamebird. Ken really liked Gil Kane so a lot of his stuff was really heavily constructed so I'd have to take his pencils and tighten them up in a way that it was inkable. For a time that's how I worked but after a while I stopped because I got better at it, so I did several issues of that. I forget the editors name, maybe Jack Harris, and I did some House Of Mystery stuff here and there. One of them was the Numismatist, that's people who like metal, I remember that one and I did a few others. I was still in touch with Ron Wilson and I always preferred a lot of Marvel stuff to the DC stuff although I liked the mystery stories and things like that. I went up to Marvel one day and Al Milgrom was editing the Micronauts. Before I went up there I was down in a comic store and I noticed Michael Golden's Micronauts and I was really crazy about it. I loved the way it was inked but later on I found out that Michael Golden did not like Rubenstein's inks on it at all. [laughter] In fact to this day I don't think Rubenstein inked all of them, I think a lot of them were inked by a guy named Rick Brandt, but I don't know that for a fact, but Rubenstein's stuff is more bold and thicker and Brandt's is more of a soft line. Anyway I went up to Milgrom's office and he said, "Well, I can get you some work doing backgrounds for Bob Layton," and I said, "Sure, I'll give it a try," but when I came back Bob Layton didn't really want me because Bob likes to rule everything and is very mechanical and my stuff is more organic. Jim Shooter walked into the office and saw some of my samples and said, "Why don't you give him a shot at inking?" Originally I wanted to pencil but I'd take any work [laughter] so they put me on the book over Pat Broderick's pencils. We were doing really well there but I've always struggled with deadlines, physically and mentally I just get exhausted. I had done about five issues of Micronauts and I was doing it for Louise Jones, who was the editor on it, she was a great gal and really easy to get along with, and I was putting a lot of effort into those issues, doing all these zip-a-tone effects and overlays because I was competing against a really great artist in Michael Golden. I wanted the audience to realise that the book didn't die just because he left it and I wanted to continue some of the Golden look so I could keep some kind of consistency. I thought Howie Chaykins work on Micronauts, even thought he's a great storyteller, veered too much from Golden's work. They took me off the book because they said I was having problems meeting the deadlines which I didn't really agree with. I think I was maybe a week or two late though, but in business I guess that's a lot. I thought, "Wow," but they said, "We have something else for you to ink," and that was the Avengers Annual. [laughter] In between it was still getting worked on and they said, "You'll get to ink this book". Before I got to ink it I got to do an issue of Master Of Kung-Fu over Gene Day and I used to talk to Gene a lot on the phone, he was a great guy, and I was so sad to hear he died. Then I got to ink the Avengers Annual which was a lot of fun and Rubenstein kept bugging me to ink a page. Michael Golden didn't want him touching his stuff [laughter] but I gave him one page out of the book to ink.
DB: That annual made you career.
AG: I don't know if it made it because I didn't know what kind of effect any of the stuff I was doing was having because I was too close to the eye of the storm, if you want to use that cliché. For example I was at a copy centre in California a little while ago and wanted to make some copies and the guy said, "Man, I love your stuff, what's your name?" I said, "Armando," and he said, "Armando Gil?" I didn't know I had that kind of effect upon people.
DB: But you do. When I've spoken to people about your site they generally say, "Armando Gil? The Avengers Annual Armando Gil?"
AG: Yeah, that's it, the Avengers Annual.
DB: That should be your name: Armando 'The Avengers Annual' Gil.
AG: Right, well [laughter] I really think that Michael Golden needs to be credited for most of that look. The guy really put his heart and soul into the pencils and all I did was try to be honest with it. I followed one little theory that Rubenstein imparted me with, because I used to hang out at Neal Adam's Continuity studios, and he said, "An inker isn't supposed to overwhelm the artist, he's supposed to enhance the artist." In some cases where you get breakdowns then it's a different attitude. I just tried to stay as true as I could to Michael Golden's work which is why I think Michael Golden asked me a bunch of times to work on his stuff.
DB: Golden is probably the one artist that you're most closely associated with.
AG: Yeah, well I did The 'Nam and the Jackie Chan thing. But each time I'm one of those people that will probably always be known as being not that very consistent. On The 'Nam I was really enjoying working on that and I was in a relationship with a girl and right after the third issue we had a break-up and it just sent me into a big tailspin. The same thing happened when I was working on the Jackie Chan stuff. When everything was going really well for me something would happen and it would make it harder than usual to not be able to come through all of it. However my life now has been very consistent, I have a good relationship and I'm raising my daughter.
DB: Ka-Zar.
AG: Oh yeah, that's another one. [laughter] Brent Andersons work was fun to work on and then when he left, or got taken off, they had an inventory of pencils that had been done and they decided all of a sudden, out of nowhere, to throw these issues in.
The issue were Belasco shows up, where they had the two balls on his forehead [laughter] which I think was the inspiration for Hellboy [laughter] there was a panel where I did a transparency overlay and I taped it to the page so the printers could use that as a colour knock-out, and somehow the overlay got lost so the first print run had a word balloon with no-one there. [laughter] That was funny, so they had to print it again with the panel. Then I got a chance to draw two issues, I pencilled and inked one issues of Ka-Zar, issue #27, Twisted Corridors, and I did the wrap around cover to it also and I really liked it and got a lot of good reviews on it. I started pencilling the second one and they said, "Armando, you're having problems meeting deadlines, why don't you get someone to ink it?" I thought, "Will who would be faithful?" I bumped into this young kid who was looking for work and I hooked him up with Larry Hama to see if I could get him some work, took him to lunch and I said, "Well why don't you ask Mike Mignola to ink it then?" This was before Mike Mignola developed his more graphic style, he was doing this wispy Wrightson thing, and I thought he'd enhance the pencils but I was wrong.
About the cover, I lived in the East Village at the time and I was surrounded by this new wave art, so I was getting into patterns, designs, nothing that the layperson would be interested in but it was a challenge of mine and I wanted the eye of the volcano to look like the sun and Ka-Zar flying with these Ka-Zar made wings with Sheena in front of it. I had his arms stretched up in this really cool way and I thought the cover was going to be great because the two other wrap around covers I'd done I thought were great. I looked at this and thought it'd be cool and they'd love it. Jim Shooter saw it and he had someone in the production department almost cut Ka-Zar's arms off and bend them down with the wings and it totally looks like crap. I got emotional, I even cried a little up at Marvel and I thought that Jim Shooter even had it in for me. I asked him, "Why are you picking on me? It's just a cover and it looks cool. People will like it, they don't care." I got kicked off Ka-Zar, not because of the cover but because of the deadlines. I don't even remember what I did after that. I just floated around over to the Conan department with Larry Hama and Jim Owsely. Then he went on to something else and it was Larry Hama and Pat Redding. Pat Redding was going out with Dave Simons at the time so it was really cool. I got all the pin-ups I wanted to and did everything I wanted to do. I got to ink a bunch of John Buscema stuff and got to work with other people. There was one issue of Savage Sword Of Conan that I both pencilled and inked, issue #175, 'Blade Of The Demon Slayer'. That one there are one or two pages in there that really showed what I was capable of if I had been allowed my time to work on things, but comics are a business.
DB: Let's talk about What If?
AG: That's another one. Half the book I spent a lot of time on, the last half I had to do in two weeks. Same thing with Blade Of The Demon Slayer, half the book I spent a lot of time on and the last bit they wanted it so bad I had to rush it, I had to knock it out. They're like half efforts of books.
DB: You kind of vanished from comics. What happened?
AG: Vanished from comics. No-one was giving me work. Before I did Blade Of Demon Slayer I did a Dark Horse series with the Predator. Then again the whole deadline issue came up. I did the whole four issues. Now they gave me Evan Dorkins pencils. I didn't want to let him down; I really wanted to let him shine so I spent a lot of time reworking a lot of what they gave me. I put a real extra effort into making those issues look as best as they could. The last issue I was running late, I think the deadline was three weeks late but the books hadn't even been published yet, at least as far as I could remember. Then Diane Schulz sent me some kind of a nasty letter and I called her up and I left a real nasty message. I told her, "You're one of the rudest, nastiest editors I've ever worked with," so that blacklisted me from Dark Horse. I couldn't get any work out of them for my life, they won't give me work. They'll give my cat work before I get it. [laughter] I did a lot of stuff over at Topps Comics when Jim Salicrup was publisher there. I did Jurassic Park, I did some Zorro stuff, all the movie licensed stuff, Xena, I think I did one or two issues of that.
DB: You're credited on all three issues of the Xena/Joxer series.
AG: I didn't do the last one. That one I definitely did not do. I was in Pennsylvania at the time, finishing up some work, and I realised at one point that Topps was going to close down. I couldn't get any work at Marvel. I solicited them but nobody was offering work. At one point I was their hot little new inker and if I wanted to draw something then I'd get a chance to draw something, as long as I kept inking. But they wouldn't give me work. DC wouldn't give me work either. I got one little job out of DC. I did some Golden Age comics for Neal Pozner, all I did was ink that and I couldn't get any more work there. Then I had been talking to Dave because Dave's an old friend of mine, he's like a brother, and I'd been helping him with some storyboard work that he'd been mailing to me from California, so then he told me, "Why don't you come out here and see what you can scare up?" So I moved back to Cleveland and from there I left to California and started to get into the animation industry for around three or four years. The last year I was at Stan Lee Media working with Stan Lee in developing new shows for the internet and was even scheduled to develop a show that I had created and written, which I still have all the model sheets to, and the script, and I think it'd be an incredible success. It could have been pitched to software companies and they'd have definitely wanted Stan Lee's name promoting their software. I still have the stuff, it's still a do-able project and it's still pertinent today. Then Stan Lee filed for bankruptcy, this is cutting a lot of corners in the story, but when they filed bankruptcy because of Peter Paul, he took a bunch of money when they were doing some investigating into insider trading at Stan Lee Media then there was a margin call and there was no money, so he took off with a bunch of money. Everyone was given a few minutes notice to pack their stuff and get out. Suddenly I was out in the middle of California with no work and right before Christmas when no-one is hiring because everything is going into post-production. I called up the people at Stretch Films in New York. I'd done a little bit of work for them. I was a background guy on the Courage The Cowardly Dog series. I had been doing backgrounds for them back in New York and had gotten a call from Jim Salicrup who told one of the production managers, "Hey, why doesn't he come out to California and work for Stan Lee?" I'd have been better off with Stretch Films because they were more steady. So when Stan Lee Media fell apart I called them and they wanted me to come back out there and help John Vilworth develop a couple of shows for Courage The Cowardly Dog. I got the chance to help co-write one of the shows and storyboarded both of them. Again, emotional problems happened with relationships in my life, so I came back to Ohio to see if I could work it all out. Brad Raider, who is a guy I'd met in California, was trying to get into comics so I inked some of his stuff on Catwoman. I only got to ink one issue and I got it on time, but someone up there said, "Oh, I don't want him inking that, I don't like his stuff," and they even got rid of Brad from the book too, so after that I wasn't able to get any work at all, even though I had been soliciting. That's with the big companies, there was one guy I did an issue and half, Mike Teirney, he had something he wanted done. My heart wasn't in it at the time but I still tried to do the best I could with his stuff.
After a while, with all this drama and all, you're feeling that this is not the kind of field that you could make a steady living in, you begin looking at this like a regular person and you get a regular job.
DB: It's sad, because you have such a unique art style.
AG: My thing has always been, because there's so many great artists out there, the only way you're going to get any kind of notice or grab the attention of people is to focus on developing more of your imagination rather than your style, that way you introduce people into your own world. That's why a lot of those Conan pin-ups are so freaky [laughter], it's like, this is not right [laughter]. And they're not all drawn that well either, but I allowed myself to be influenced as far as my imagination by a lot of different sources. I love John Martin, he's an English industrial painter. I love Fuseli's work, especially his Nightmare, I love William Blake, I love a bunch of different people.
DB: Fuseli and William Blake are not what you'd expect to hear as influences from a comic book artist.
AG: There's a lot of people who can do beautiful work other than comic artists. [laughter] For example, Egon Shiel, he's really incredible and a lot of artists these days are influenced by his line and style and he's not a comic artist, so you find a lot of comic artists being influenced by a lot of Impressionists, people were into fine arts before any comic art was created. Gustav Klimt, all these people are out there, who you can learn from and be inspired by. There was one guy who drew for Heavy Metal, Philippe Druillet. Couldn't draw a figure to save his life but he drew all this crazy machinery and detail. There's a composition that he did of an alien banquet with all these buildings, it's a complete, as far as composition, rip off of a John Martin painting, Belshazzar's Feast and no-one, unless they really like John Martin's work, would ever put the two together.

Just for the record true, Golden didn't like my inking on The Micronauts. I don't know that he liked Milgrom's either, tho Golden did tell me he liked the inks on his Man-Bat job,which is how I got The M series to do.
I think he likes the inking of his new pencil commissions more (as I do)..You can see them at my CAF gallery and Michael Finn's and Gerry Turnbull.
Also for the record. Rick Bryant was my BG guy at the time, but I did all the figures.
One day Armando came up to me at Marvel's offices and told me he had been looking at my past issues of The M since he was now inking the series.
That was startling to me, because I had been looking at Al Williamson's work the night before, but it had never occurred to me that people were looking at my work.

But, my point is you don't *need* "home" to accomplish the | goals you have articulated: In my setup I have a couple of developers which need their own instance of Tomcat. It's very inconvenint that you _have_ to install tomcat at the place where you want to run it, and thus cannot handle tomcat as just another binary, which you just run with some options or env-vars set correctly. And apparently it's just a few env-variables that isn't handled quite correctly that messes up everything. I remeber that I managed to get it to run with another server.xml file (or whatever it's called), but it requeried some variable to be set to the install dir (CATALINA_HOME?). But doing this made it scan the install-webapps dir, starting up all those webapps that are bundled with the dist. Basically, what it lacks is a distinct CATALINA_HOME, which points to where it's installed (keeping with the naming of the JAVA_HOME variable?) and a CATALINA_WORK or similar, where it's running. These two variables are treated very inconsistent now, and have (as I remeber it) to point to the same location to work properly. This is such a banal feature that I cannot understand why it isn't implemented. There have been others requesting this too! And I know your answer, revolving around "scratch your own bleedin' itch!! ;)", but sadly I currently don't have time to sit down and understand all that startup stuff, no matter how much I'd like to do just that. I do actually believe that folks that know the startup sequence of Tomcat4 could change this behaviour in about 5 minutes. I hope that this is _fixed_ before you go final. -- Mvh, Endre

The Chicago Fire reconstruction project has already brought the Fire new additions Julio Martinez and Krzysztof Krol (as well as head coach Carlos De Los Cobos), but now Chicago could be moving closer to adding a new striker.
Former Fulham striker Collins John is set to join the Chicago Fire on a trial during the club's training camp in Phoenix, sources told SBI on Friday. John was a teammate of Fire star Brian McBride at Fulham, but has seen his once-promising career hit the skids. He most recently played for Belgian club Roeselare, which released him in December.
John, 24, first made a name for himself after scoring 11 goals for Fulham during the 2005/2006 season, but never quite lived up to that high standard again, bouncing around five different clubs since.
Here are some other stories to get your Friday going:
U.S. national team striker Kenny Cooper's loan move to English side Plymouth Argyle has been completed, 1860 Munich announced on its website.
"I know both coaches at Plymouth, Paul Mariner and John Carver from my spell in the MLS," Cooper said. "I know I am getting my chance to recommend myself for the World Cup squad of my country. Hopefully I'll be able to score goals to help Plymouth win."
The loan deal came together after a falling out between Cooper and 1860 Munich manager Ewald Lienen over playing time. German reports cited an argument between Lienen and Cooper's father, Ken Sr., with ultimately leading to a move being made.
It remains unclear when Cooper will be eligible to play for Plymouth.
The Philly Union scored a major coup by sealing a deal to have its matches shown locally on network affiliate 6ABC, the club announced on Thursday. The Union had already added respected play-by-play announcer JP Dellacamera to its staff.
Juventus fires Ciro Ferrara
Eidur Gudjohnsen signs with Tottenham on loan
Anderson on verge of Lyon loan deal
What do you think of these developments? Think John could revive his career in MLS? Glad to see Cooper heading to Plymouth? Think Rafa Benitez will wind up at Juventus?
Share your thoughts below.
OH MY GOODNESS! HE IS UNBELIEVABLE! He has…..oh no wait, wrong player…..
he plays for there B TEAM, give it a break
whats the need for everybody to flip out when they see somebody switching nationalities, this guy is nowhere near what you guys are thinking of…..it was bigger news when Mikkel Diskerud announced that he would play for the US
John obviously has talent if he played for Fulham AND scored goals… at only 24 Chicago can easily get him fit and maybe now that he knows is career is depending on being successful, maybe he will get his head on straight.
they wouldnt be interested in it….i assure you
if brazilians were interested in coming to MLS, you wouldnt see every single one flying back to Brazil when they are in poor form…..they are interested in there own country to gain confidence and get into the world cup, just like what Michael Orozco is doing here
if players didnt care about going back to their home, MLS could have landed Robinho….but that will never happen, its not just the money issue either
Looking at Collins John is the sort of risk you have to take if you want to be successful in MLS. Take him on trial, test his work ethic, and if it works out you can get a good player for a good value.
Right….. Im not even a Fire fan and i saw what Blanco contributed to that team.
will m.
jack wilshere getting loaned to bolton adds another obstacle into holden getting some decent playing time
dude, relax. was I flipping out? I just would like to get some additional info on him. he's a guy no one has ever heard of. he got on the field for a bundesliga side, that at least warrants some kind of attention.
You alright with that?
Kudos to the Union for securing network TV coverage. @RapidsSoccer…any ideas?
Yeah I noticed that myself too, haha.
It's not that big of deal, but still, it sounds frickin stupid…The Major League Soccer.
From the looks of him and his last name my guess is his father is African-American (maybe an American soldier stationed in Germany, ala Jermaine Jones' dad)
He started for SC Freiburg against VfB Stuttgart last Friday at right back. I've never heard of this kid before, makes you wonder how many other footballers with American soldier Dads & German mothers are out there.
I'll hold off on the cap him now chant, but he's definitely someone to watch and it doesn't look like he's ever been capped by any German youth level teams. Maybe some friendlies post-World Cup?
When you score as many goals as Cooper has, (49 goals in 119 professional games) it doesn't matter who you score them against, you are still worth a look.
Bradley hasn't used Cooper more probably because his current style doesn't necessarily fit in with what the USMNT does best and how they are trying to play. On the offensve side the US is primarily a counterattacking and set piece team. But styles change so, if Cooper starts scoring at his usual rate, he will get some consideration.
From what I've seen of him he does use his size, or rather his length. It makes it easier for him to shield to ball. I've played against guys built like him and they are an enormous pain to defend. Goal scorers are by definition "selfish" but I wouldn't say that means he is not a team player.
Cooper Sr. was not only a coach but he has been a long time general manager so it isn't as if he doesn't know what he is doing in terms of the managerial and administrative side of things.
This loan move to Plymouth is a very good thing for Cooper Jr. so I would say Cooper Sr. got what he wanted.
Jon from Chicago
Being a fan of the Chicago Fire, Im very excited about the trial of Collins John. If he doesn't come to work ready to get stuff done we cut him, and if he comes with a good attitude (with McBride pushing him along) we have a striker who played well in the EPL. I think its a win win. Can't wait to cheer him on from Section 8 this season!
