*Generic rant about the abysmal state of Marvel during Quesada's reign goes here*
There seem to be a lot of comic fans on this forum. There are also a lot of people here, like me, who spend more time here than anywhere else online. Since there is always news related to comics to talk about and I've personally found the comic forums I used to frequent not as fun to visit as they used to be, I thought a catch-all thread that covers all things superheroes & comic books could be fun & useful.
* Do you want to talk about DC Comics & their latest event mini-series?
* What are your opinions on Marvel Comics & their latest big screen movie?
* Did you read the latest Conan or Star Wars comics?
* What comic related TV show are you watching or looking forward to?
* Is there a manga you just finished that you're dying to talk about?
* Who is currently making the best comic book toys?
* Played any cool video games recently based on a comic book?
* Why did you start reading comics in the first place & what were your favorites as a kid?
Discuss any of that and more right here!!!
*Generic rant about the abysmal state of Marvel during Quesada's reign goes here*
1. Flashpoint might be good I don't think there has been enough lead-in to it.
2. I was always more of a Marvel guy growing up but now....eh. Marvel has much better movies but that might be just a matter of there being like 3 marvel movies to every one DC movie. Thor had better be good.
3. Not really, I have read some of the Star Wars books and enjoyed them but not enough to keep up with them. I did really like the Tag and Bink!
4.Batman: The Brave and the bold and The Avengers still haven't seen the new young justice cartoon is it any good? Oh and The Walking Dead=awesome.
5. no.
6. I want to like the new Marvel Universe figures but the scale just turns me off. I loved the Marvel Legends line but quit when Hasbro took over, I guess Mattel by default.
7. I like DC universe online a lot, and Ultimate Alliance was great the sequel not so much.
8. G.I. Joe: Special Missions #18. I actually bought two original pages from the book last year.
When will we get our Songster figure Mattel???
I fell asleep during the Walking Dead pilot and haven't gotten around to giving it a second chance yet. I read the first year of the comic when it first came out and felt it was pretty good, but I'm really zombied out these days.
I've heard about this movie for awhile now. It's based on a popular Italian comic and is finally getting released theatrically in a couple weeks...

That Dylan Dog movie looks like it could be fun, I keep thinking I'll finally get around to reading the books but then something else comes up.
Totally agree about Fear Itself, I guess it's something like "other Thors"? I don't know maybe I'm just crossover-ed out.
How about Spider-Man? I know a lot of people said that OMD made them quit reading ASM but I thought that after that it got really good.

Fear Itself doesn't seem to generate much hype, though, and most of what I've seen is bad. The "Chosen" (The hammer-bearers for the series) aren't that interesting as a group (Basically all of them are super-strong bruisers... who now have hammers), the Serpent is really shoe-horned in as the "new big bad" and such. Also, Bucky will be in a Russian prison during the event. Some kind of murder charge thing, but I'm sure it's mostly about getting Steve coming back as Cap. Fraction is not a good writer, in my mind. He's barely more qualified than Bendis to handle this sort of thing.
Also, before I forget, Fear Itself also features some heavy-handed social relevance in the form of adressing the World Trade Center mosque protests. It is just as hamfisted as it sounds.
Also, I know a lot of people loved Grim Hunt, but I found it utterly bad. Maybe even offensively so.
Ultimate Spider-Man isn't so dead after all...he's back with a new costume.
My immediate problem with Fear Itself is Odin. Wasn't a very big plot point during Thor's "All-Father Thor" Jurgen's run was that Odin and the other gods knew that the worship of Mortals was long past? Odin knew this because he was on the Council of Godheads. I guess Fraction didn't read those stories...

The only comics I am reading at this point are the Green Lantern related titles, Red Sonja, Birds of Prey, Zatanna and some some things like Doctor Who, World of Warcraft. I would like to get caught up on Conan and try to read Gotham Sirens and possibly Angel.
I don't really care to much about events at this point unless it has something to do with what I am currently reading. I find typically find the build up just isn't enough and they tend to be more disruptive and/or interruptive to current stories. Which honestly was fine for something like Blackest Night it being pretty much a zombie story.
As a character I like Thor more then Captain America, but I am looking more towards the Cap movie then the Thor one. I have said many times that I was reluctant towards a Thor movie in the first place as it's going to be one of the harder ones to bring to the screen.
I stopped reading Star Wars comics with the resent title reset. I have heard good things about them, but I have gone into money saving mode so that was a good time to stop collecting them.
I would like to see some new episode of Young Justice. After that I have been watching Avengers which is probably done for the season. Walking dead was also great looking forward to the second season. Outside of that I don't even know if what I am watching is comic related or not.
I haven't really looked too much into manga, most of the stuff I find locally tends to be teen drama dredge so I pass on it.
I am only collecting two toy lines right now, DCUC and Doctor Who. Even in that I am only collecting certain figures. I basically need Doctors 1, 2, 3, and 8 and maybe some of the companions (unless the release a companion set the second seems unlikely). DCUC after this year it's going down to the odd figure here and there I would like to get, aside from those I missed out on.
I need to play more Scott Pilgrim vs the World, for 10 bucks it's an excellent game. Nice beat em up.
Why did I start? I just have vague recollections of getting comics as a kid and reading them. Then at some point I stopped when they stopped carrying them in grocery stores, then as a teen tried to get into them but got tired of the loud audible sighs from cashiers from the local comic store, so I didn't get back into them till I was in college. Favorite characters as a kid were Captain Marvel, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Spider-man, Hulk, Batman, Hawkman, and Superman. Some of them I may not have actually read comics for.

-Tag line for the Candy Land Movie Adaptation
There are sentences I should just stay a way from. - The Doctor
Rob Liefeld isn't a comic artist, he's a women's clothing designer. Think about it
I'm not a big Doctor Who fan(I like what I've seen but I just haven't jumped all the way into the franchise yet), but I'd be tempted with the toys. Unfortunately, I only saw one Doctor Who toy at ToyRus(it was multiples of Doctor #6 for some reason). If I got any through a comic store or online, I'm sure it would be extremely expensive. I always kinda wished the popularity of the current era led to more US products other than just books & a new magazine.
Yes, Shazam Captain Marvel. Oddly most of those I listed had a cartoon, live action series or movie franchise being shown, (Batman was in reruns). Basically I remember reading comics as a kid, but that is all I recall. The first comic I actually remember getting was one I picked up on a trip to my mom's house it was Green Hulk vs. Grey Hulk. I remember from early on reading some crossover event where several superheroes were flying into a big tall enemy.
I remember reading the comic over and over in my closet, based on a recent story my shared I think I know why I was doing that. I somehow locked the keys into the car at the grocery store. Based on timing it was most likely Crisis on Infinite Earths. And honestly I could have read more, those were just the ones I remember. My mom and I both know I got comics frequently when younger but I have at best vague recollections of them and tended to read and toss. Of course I would read them many times before tossing them.
I was tempted to start MOTUC, but I have an almost complete 200x series. I am missing the figures that got the European only release and a something like three redecos. It's kind of like how I have a carded Batman and Superman for from the Batman and DC Superheroes lines respectively with my DCUC figures. The scale and articulation are a bit off but I shrug and fluff it.

I was hoping it wasn't true since I'm not a fan of Mark Waid or the maxi-series, but it looks like the upcoming Man Of Steel movie is going to be based on Waid's Birthright...
I'd take either John Byrne's Man Of Steel or Geoff John's recent Secret Origin. The more I hear about this movie, the more I'm not upset that it isn't going to be a part of the JLA movie.
It's now been officially announced from Warner Brothers who Joseph Gordon Levitt and Marion Cotillard will be playing in Chris Nolan's third Batmovie, The Dark Knight Rises.
Cotillard will appear as Miranda Tate, a Wayne Enterprises board member eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne resume his father's philanthropic endeavors for Gotham.
Gordon-Levitt will play John Blake, a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon.
Not too exciting when compared to all the previous rumors.

While I like Nolan's Batman movies (with the exception of the whole "I don't have to save you" thing in the first movie and the kind of waste of the best Batman villain in the second movie) I really thought that Joseph Gordon Levitt would have a bigger role this sounds like a bit part.
Is anybody reading the new DnD comic? As someone who just in the last couple of years started to play DnD it's kind of a cool book.
What about IDW's G.I.Joe books?
When will we get our Songster figure Mattel???
I've been getting IDW's Joe books since they first got the license, but I'm behind on reading them(although I'm aware of what's recently happened to Cobra). From what I've seen though, I'm not sure I really love the rebooted IDW canon(although it's not extremely bad either). I am eager to see what they do with the relaunch of their main line of books next month.
When you said "the best Batman villain", were you referring to The Joker or Two-Face?

I hated the retconning aspect of OMD/BND but to be honest I hated Mary Jane so anything to reduce her page time is a plus in my book.

Two-Face. He is one of top three villains of all time and I thought Aaron Eckhart was great, I just wanted more. I kept telling myself after the movie that he lived.
As for the "I don't have to save you" thing, to me he murdered Ra's. It just doesn't sit right with me that Batman basically killed someone it goes against everything I think of when I think of Batman.
I love the IDW JOE books. Chuckles was always my number one toy as a child, I don't know why, but when Devil's Due killed him off I quit that book. GIJOE Cobra made me like Sepentor too.
Like Sandman said the DnD book is just a ton of fun. If you get a chance to catch up you should. Also SkullKickers by Image. DnD fantasy without all that pesky story stuff, lots of fun.
And the Avengers books? I read Academy, plain, and New and that's the order I'd put them in. Anyone else read them?
Mr. Shokoti, What about the Thor movie turns you off it? i think the commercials make it look really good.
When will we get our Songster figure Mattel???
Two-Face is my favorite Bat villain. Besides the fact that he has so much depth(his tragedy is that, besides being scarred, he was a good person once), I feel the Joker can be annoying & is soooo overrated(I meant the comic version but I guess I'd say the same about Ledger's Joker too).
* In the 2 movies I've seen him in, I find the lead to be a poor actor(according to rumors, Anthony Hopkins agrees).
* I used to like her, but after the Star Wars Prequels, Black Swan(I'm one of the few who found that movie to be pretentious, obvious, and extremely overrated), & a few others, I'm not eager to see Natalie Portman in anything for awhile.
* I haven't been a fan of Thor's armored costume since it was first revealed several years ago and the movie is giving us a version of it.
* I'm not a fan of changing a character's sex or race just to be "proactive". Sometimes it works imo like Michael Clarke Duncan's Kingpin, but it usually comes off as an unnecessary & obnoxiously P.C. change.
* Based on what I heard, I don't like the plot(I won't go into details so I won't spoil it for anyone).
* Asgard doesn't fill me with any sense of wonder based on the trailers. It looks like a bland set design that could have come out of a direct-to-video movie.
I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but I will say the Destroyer looks great. Even though I'm not a fan of the helmet, Captain America, on the other hand, looks pretty good.
**Neal Adams With Bendis On Avengers!!!**
This might have made me curious enough to give a Bendis Avengers book a try, but after Batman Odyssey, no thanks!

Due to a request, i whipped up some forum rules.
#1. don't be a jerk (unless it's obviously in fun).
there shouldn't need to be any other rules. basically, just think about what you are saying, doing, and how it can affect others. no trolling, no smearing, no bs. it should be simple. if you are going to come up with some highly controversial topic, feel free to debate it into the ground but don't personally attack anyone for disagreeing with it. it's probably best to exercise judgment/restraint and if you want to talk about politics, abortion, religion, etc. i suggest you take it to a forum about politics, abortion, religion, etc.
if you can't follow the rule(s), some admin will likely lock/delete the thread and/or warn/ban a user. i trust the judgment of the admins and don't care how they use/abuse their power. they do a lot of work for free and put up with tons of BS to do what they do and i appreciate their help.
i'll add a second rule because it has reared its head too many times.
#2. don't talk about drugs.

No action on police Capt. Robert Wilson's retirement request was taken by Washington City Council Thursday night.
In fact, Wilson's sudden retirement, which consumed Monday night's agenda meeting of council, wasn't even mentioned last night.
The Observer-Reporter has learned that an item on Thursday's agenda, which had to do with voting on Wilson's retirement request, was removed from the agenda two hours before the council meeting was held.
No reason was given for the item being taken off the agenda. Mayor Brenda Davis declined to comment on the matter as did two council members and attorney Lane Turturice. Wilson couldn't be reached for comment.
Former city police chiefs Ed Cochran, Roger Blythe and Jim Hansen were present at the meeting. Afterwards they said Wilson would still be considered a city employee until council acts on his retirement request.
Wilson texted Davis regarding his intention to retire effective 4 p.m. Monday. That night, members of the city police department attended the council meeting and John Hritz, president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 95, asked council to remove Davis as head of the police department, calling her a "bully" and "micro-manager."
Davis responded by saying she was being discriminated against because of her sex and that the police force did not take kindly to having a woman in charge.
On Tuesday, she announced that Lt. Dan Stanek would serve as officer in charge for 30 days. Stanek attended last night's meeting and gave the department's monthly report.
A few residents called for unity between the mayor and council in order to improve conditions in Washington.
Among them were Eleanor Brunetti, who suggested a greater police presence was needed to deter drug activity, and Georgia Ballentyne, who lives on the same street where two people were shot recently. Ballentyne said officials need to cooperate in order to combat a growing drug problem.
"I think you guys owe us a better job that what you're doing," said John Campbell.
Louise McClenathan said residents are their own worst enemies "for electing public officials who care little about us."
Also at the meeting, a motion to pay a $2,100 bill for nTouch to set up a ridership data base for Washington City Transit Authority died for lack of a second. Councilman Matt Staniszewski is on nTouch's board of directors, but has said he does not derive any income from the business. The city has a contract with the company to set up and operate the web site at a cost of $19,000.

IET accelerates your self-healing journey
My resume is filled with recommended remedies to maintain good health. Yoga, reflexology, hypnotism, bones for life, foot detox, massage therapy and the labyrinth's spiritual journey all have countless followers, and my interest piqued with them. Both men and women get great results, but just like everything, each of us look for that good fit for holistic care to fill our psychological, physical and social needs. We search for that perfect GPS to maintain a healthy body.
Just last week, I joined more than a dozen others at Bethel Park Public Library for a session on Integrated Energy Therapy. Reiki masters Ruth Lorena of South Park and Leonora Van Hulten of Bethel Park presented the next generation of hands-on power energy therapy systems to "get the issues out of your tissues."
IET is a gentle, nurturing way to balance your life by helping to release negative or traumatic patterns stored in the body's cells. Stress, unexpressed emotion, fear, anger and resentment can become stuck, blocking the flow of vital life forces at a cellular level. IET works to release the barriers on all levels – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual – working to become a great energy healer with the power of touch, at an even higher level than Reiki.
Complementary to other healing arts, IET can be used alone or in combination with other holistic or traditional approaches, working to accelerate your self-healing journey and is not a replacement for traditional medical approaches.
For more than 25 years, registered nurse Leonora Van Hulten attended to folks in critical care areas, including cardiothoracic and trauma, with a passion in heart medicine. Her quest for balance of mind, body and spirit led her to study multiple modalities of healing. Leonora is a Reiki Master as well as a practitioner of Magnified Healing and is an Integrated Energy Therapy master instructor. She can be reached at email@example.com.
After moving to the U.S. 18 years ago, Ruth Lorena graduated from California University of Pennsylvania. Not content with her career in computer information systems, Ruth's interest in energy healing led her to Reiki, the ancient Japanese form of touch healing, later becoming a Reiki Master. She also studied magnified healing and crystal healing prior to IET, becoming a master instructor. Ruth teaches IET techniques in Greensburg and Morgantown and currently can be reached at Jennings Chiropractic in Bethel Park.
Intro to Integrated Energy Therapy for Pets will be presented by Ruth and Leonora at 7 p.m. June 6. Bring a photo of your pet.
Intro to IET for kids ages 7-11 will be held 3-5 p.m. June 18.
To register, call 412-835-2207.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Long Wavy Casual Hairstyle - Dark Blonde (Caramel) Hair Color
Description(Added: 10th November 2011 )
- Hair Category: Casual
- Hair Length: Long
- Hair Elasticity: Wavy
- Gender: Women
- Face Shape: Round, Oval, Heart, and Triangular
- Hair Density: Thin/Medium
- Hair Texture: Fine/Medium
- Age: Under 21, 21 - 30, 31 - 40, and 41 - 50
- Height: Any
- Weight: Thin/Average/Large
- Glasses: Suits with and without
- Styling Time: 30 minutes
- Products: Mousse, Smoothing Shine, and Hair Spray
- Styling Tip: Use your smoothing shine to add a small amount of gloss and to reduce fly-aways.
Styling Steps
1 . Apply Mousse
Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.
2 . Use a Blow-dryer and Fingers to Dry Your Hair Off
Using your blow-dryer, dry your hair using your fingers, separating the hair and allowing it to dry at the roots first then the mid lengths and then the ends. Making sure the roots are dry first will ensure that your hairstyle does not fall flat.
3 . Use a Large Curling Iron
A large curling iron is used to create large soft curls and can be used to add body.
4 . Curl Mid-lengths and Ends with a Curling Iron
Take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your mid-lengths. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards.
5 . Tease Hair
Pick up a small selection of hair from your mid section no bigger than your tail comb. Place your comb at the roots and then comb up and down until the hair is standing up by itself. Continue to the crown and finish at the sides. Repeat this step if you require more volume.
6 . Apply Smoothing Shine
Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.
7 . Apply Hairspray
To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.

Château de Castex d'Armagnac
The estate enter History with Antoine de ROQUELAURE, maréchal de France, loyal companion of Henri IV. A protégé of Jeanne d'Albret, Queen of Navarre, he married in 1611 Suzanne de BASSABAT who brought Castex to him as a dowry.
His influence was great during the six years that he spent with the King: his credited with Henri's conversion to catholicism. He rode in the royal carrosse when the King was murdered by Ravaillac.
Fifty years later, the Gourges family bought Castex who had it for another century. In 1789 it was bought by the Comte de Barrau. His descendants, the Saint Pastou -a very gascon name- still live there.

GMOS Mask Design Checks
This document is based on the procedures used by Gemini Staff to check GMOS MOS masks submitted by users. The document describes, step by step, the mask checking procedures.
- Before checking the masks
- Checking the masks
- Post-checking tasks
Before you start to check the masks
Standard naming convention for submitted masks
PIs have to use a standard naming convention when they submit the masks. This is to avoid confusion as to which mask name is associated with the ODF. The submitted masks should have the following naming convention: G(N/S)YYYYSQPPP-XX_ODF.fits (N/S indicates North or South). Here the YYYY is the year, S the semester, PPP is the program number and XX is the mask number (e.g. GS2007BQ038-01_ODF.fits). If the naming conventions are not the standard, then ask the PIs to remove the masks from the Observing Tool (OT) and re-submit them with the correct names. Note that the root names with the numbers (e.g. GS2007BQ038-01) correspond to the names of the masks that are added to the field "Custom Mask MDF'' in the GMOS static component in the OT Phase 2. An example of a set of masks submitted with the wrong names is given in Figure 1.
Pre-imaging distribution for mask design checks
The pre-images required to check the masks are provided by the Gemini Staff. The processed images are uploaded using the OT file attachment facility.
Downloading the pre-images and the ODF files
PIs use the OT file attachment facility to upload the ODF fits files. Download the ODF fits files and the pre-images into your local computer using the Fetch button in the "File Attachment'' window (see the example below). To download the fits files, the OT will ask for your NGO password. Verify that the PIs supplied the names of the pre-images used to create the ODF files. In the example below (Fig. 1), the name of the pre-imaging is inserted in the Description field in the File Attachment window. However, the description could be inserted also in a Note inside OT Phase 2 program.
Figure 1: File attachment window with the details about the submitted files (could be ODF fits files or finding chart). Note that in this example, the mask names are not the standard name. The Description Field shows the name of the pre-images used to generate the masks. The description could be also presented as a Note in the OT Phase 2 program.
Starting the Gemini Mask Making Software (gmmps)
To check the mask design, you have to install the gmmps program. Here we will assume that gmmps is installed in your computer and is working properly. Start gmmps. Go to File --> Open and load the distributed pre-imaging. Select the HDU 2 in the FITS HDU window (see Figure 2). You can adjust the intensity levels by using View --> Cut Levels. A 98% level should work fine in most of the cases (you can see in detail the bright and the faint objects).
Figure 2: Portion of the gmmps main window with the FITS HDUs (1) window.
For ODF fits file. Go to GMOS-MMS --> Convert ODF fits to catalog --> Convert ODF fits to Cat. File….…, and load the ODF fits file. A new window will be displayed (see Figure 3). This window contains information about the targets, i.e. ID, RA, DEC, XCCD, YCCD, slitpos_x, slitpos_y slitsize_x, slitsize_y, slittilt, MAG, priority, slittype, etc... The figure below shows the main parameters listed in the ODF fits file. Objects with priority "0'' are the alignment stars (always in the first rows). The size of the alignment boxes are 2 x 2 arcsec and is constant. The slit width is given by the column "slitsize_x'' (in the example is 0.75 arcsec) and the slit length is given by the column "slitsize_y'' (arcsecs).
Figure 3: Window containing all the column of the designed mask (ODF). The column slitsize_x contains the slit width (in this example 0.75"). The alignment stars have slitsize_x, slitsize_y 2x2 arcsec and have priority 0.
Click Plot Slits to draw the slits over the image. Display the location of GMOS CCD gaps by clicking on Plot GMOS Gaps (see Fig. 3). The figure below (Fig. 4) shows the object slits (white and yellow), the alignment stars (cyan) and the GMOS gaps (blue) plotted over a GMOS image. The red rectangle indicates the mask area. No objects will be cut outside this area.
Figure 4: Object slits (white and yellow) with the alignment stars (cyan) , CCD gaps (blue) and the mask area plotted over the pre-imaging. This is the visualization used to check the masks.
Object Slits (science targets)
- Check that the size of the red box and the slits are at least the size of the pre-imaging. If the size is double or half, then there is a problem with the pixel scale (the PIXSCALE keyword inside the ODF fits table is wrong and does not match the pixel scale in the pre-imaging). An example is given below (see Fig. 5). In this case, the mask was designed using a pixel scale of 0.0727", but the pre-imaging was observed using a 2x2 binning (pixel scale of 0.1457" per pixel). You can see that the slits and the red box are double the size of the pre-imaging. Send the mask back to the PI and ask to use the correct pixel scale (probably, the PI did not use the mostool package to generate the Object Table).
Verify that there are no object slits located outside the red box area. Object slits outside this area are not included for cutting.
Check if the targets are inside the slits. In particular, pay attention to the tilted slits. In the GMMPs version 0.22 the tilted slits are not visualized. In the current version of the software this problem has been corrected. Check the column slittilt for objects with tilted slits. Positive angles indicate that the slits are tilted counterclockwise, while negative angles indicate that the slits are tilted clockwise. In general, the objects lie in the center, however some people add tilted slits to get two or more objects in the same slit.
For tilted slits, slit tilt must be within 45 < tilt < -45 deg.
Check the slit width. The GMOSs have a set of longslit with the following width (normal and Nod & shuffle): 0.25", 0.5", 0.75", 1", 1.5", 2" and 5". If the width of the slits are different (e.g. 0.8"), then you have to tell the PI that any required calibration (flux standard, radial velocity standard, etc) will be observed with a different slit width, close to the width used in the mask (for 0.8", will be 0.75" longslit).
Figure 5: An example of a ODF fits file with the wrong pixel scale. Here the pixel scale of the ODF fits file is double the pixel scale of the pre-imaging.
Alignment objects
There should be at least 2 good alignment objects for masks designed from pre-imaging, and 3 good alignment objects for masks designed from object catalogs. The best masks are designed with 3 or 4 alignment objects. Some PIs have concerns about the mask alignment and add more than 6 alignment objects in the mask. This is not necessary. If this is the case, then contact the PI and warn them about this. A high number of alignment objects will increase the overheads at the telescope.
Alignment objects should be well distributed ie. on opposite corners of the mask or on different chips.
Check that the alignment objects do not fall into the gaps (or near the gaps). Example of alignment stars inside the gap and too close to the gaps are shown below (Fig. 6). A good alignment object should be at least 2" away from the border of the gaps. In this case, the PIs have to select another alignment star and re-do the masks.
Figure 6: The figure shows two examples of alignment objects located near or over the GMOS gap region. Left: alignment star too close to the gap. Right: alignment star in the gap.
Check for saturated alignment objects. The software used to align the mask is not working properly if one or more alignment starts are saturated. A saturated star will have the wrong X,Y coordinates (i.e. the centroid of the object is not good). This will introduce an offset in the alignment object position and will affect the accuracy of the on-sky alignment (and for the objects in the slits).
Verify that the alignment objects are bright enough for a 30sec exposure (common exposure time used for acquisition). A good rule of thumb is that alignment stars should have magnitudes between ~14-20.
Verify that the magnitudes of the alignment objects are similar. Big differences in magnitude can compromise the mask alignment. Ideally, brightnesses will be within about 2 magnitudes. If the magnitudes are not provided, then check that the apparent brightnesses in the pre-imaging are similar.
Check that the alignment objects are not galaxies. In principle, we can use galaxies to center the mask, but the solution would not be as good as if you use stars. An example is given in Figure 7. If this is the case, then ask the PIs to replace the objects by stars or, if there are few other alignment stars, eliminate them from the masks.
Figure 7: Example of galaxies used as alignment objects. In this example, the PI designed a mask with 6 alignment objects. The other four are stars. The PI has removed these galaxies from the mask and leaves only the 4 alignment stars.
Nod & Shuffle masks
N&S MOS mask design requires special attention. There are two shuffling modes that you one choose from when observing with Nod & Shuffle: 1) Band-shuffling; 2) Micro-shuffling. Here we describe the two modes and show how to check the N&S MOS mask design.
The simplest possible layout is band shuffling with a single science band. In this case the middle third of the detector is the only science region, and the top and bottom thirds of the detector are used for storage exclusively. This band layout allows one to place a very high density of slits of variable length in a centralized region; however, one loses 67% of the field of view for slit placement.
The slits can be any length. Verify that all the slits are in the center of the image and that the three bands have identical size. Figure 8 shows an example of single science band.
Figure 8: Example of band shuffling with a single science band. All slits are located in the middle third of the detector. The top and bottom thirds of the detector are used for storage exclusively.
The next example has two science bands and three storage bands (see Fig. 9 below). Because storage regions between science regions can be shared, one starts to win back field of view as the number of bands is increased. Here we are using 40% of the GMOS detector for science (available for slit placement) and 60% for charge storage. Once more each of the science bands can contain a high density and number of slits of variable length. Each band must have the same height and there must be two storage regions immediately adjacent to each science region; however, they do not need to be regularly spaced or fill the entire detector as shown here.
The slits can be any length. Verify that all the slits are contained within one of the two science bands. Also, verify that the two science bands contain the same number of rows and that the three storage bands are at least the same size as the science bands. (See the example in Fig. 9 for a two band shuffling).
Figure 9:Example of band shuffling with a two science bands. All slits are located in the two band occupying 40% of the detector. The remaining 60% of the detector is used for storage exclusively.
The limiting case is of many bands where each science region contains exactly one slit and, therefore, each slit has the same length. This special case is named micro shuffling. As the number of micro-shuffled bands increases and the size of the slits decreases one can use nearly 50% of the GMOS field of view for slit placement. When using micro shuffling:
Check that all the slits have the same length
Check that the minimum space between slits has at least the same length as the slit.
Check that the slit length and the offset in q-direction in the OT are consistent. In the example given in Fig. 10, the slit length is 3". A nod offset of +-0.75" would keep the object in the slit for both nod positions.
An example of micro-shuffling mask is given in Figure 11. Note that the spaces between the slits are bigger than the slit lengths.
Figure 10: Nod & Shuffle window inside the GMOS static component. In this case, a nod distance of +- 0.75" is good enough for a slit length of 3".
Figure 11: Example of a micro-shuffling mask (slit length of 2").
Nod offsets
Check that the nod offsets are consistent with the defined slit length. For example, a nod offset of (0, 10) and (0,-10) would be completely inconsistent with a slit length of 3 arcsec. However, nod offsets of [0,0] and [0,35] (in which case telescope nods between the science target and a blank sky position) or nod offsets of [0,+0.75] and [0,-0.75] (in which case the telescope nods the science up and down within the slit) would both be compatible with 3 arsec long slits.
Shuffle distance
Check that the shuffle distance, SHUFSIZE, in the mask file header, and the shuffle distance provided in the Nod & Shuffle window inside the GMOS component in the OT are the same. For the mask, you can't use the "gmmps". To check this value in the mask, you can use the "tprint" task in table.ttools inside IRAF. The command is the following:
gm> tprint maskname-01_ODF.fits prparam+ prdata-
With this command you will list the header parameters inside the masks. An example is given below.
Figure 12: Output from tprint IRAF command. The shuffle distance is given in the field SHUFSIZE. In this example the shuffle distance is 42 and should be the same that the value inserted in the field Offset (detector rows) in the Nod & Shuffle window inside the GMOS static component.
Post-mask checking
If the masks have problems, then the NGOs will contact the PIs and explain the nature of the problem. If the masks show any of the problems explained above, the PIs have to re-design their masks and re-submit them again using the OT file attachment facility. To do that, the PIs have to remove the previous submitted masks and upload the new ODF fits files following the correct naming convention.
If the mask passed the quality control, the NGOs have to check the "NGO check?" box in the "File Attachment" window in the OT (see Fig. 1). An automatic e-mail alert is sent to the g(n/s)email@example.com and the g(n/s)email@example.com exploders, and to the Gemini Contact Scientists and NGO contacts. The usual mask checker at Gemini will then double-check the mask design and will iterate with the NGO, if it is necessary. The mask checker at Gemini will run the program odf2mdf to generate all necessary files for mask cutting (including the Mask Definition File - MDF). Finally, the Gemini mask checker ingests all new masks into our internal database and then the masks are cut.
All Phase II MOS sequences are put On Hold following the normal PhaseII --> For Review --> For Activation process at the beginning of the semester. After Gemini staff complete the mask checks and send an email notifying the PI and NGO that the masks are ready to be cut, the NGO will update the MOS observation status from "On Hold" to "For Activation", or back to "Phase 2" if the PI needs to further edit the observation.
If the mask was made from a catalog, NGOs or Contact Scientists should first check that the RA, Dec, and position angle for the relevant observation in the OT are identical to the values used to make the mask before setting the observation to "For Activation" or "Ready". The RA and Dec used for designing the mask can be extracted from the MDF file or pseudo image (eg by using "thselect {maskfile.fits} RA_IMAG,DEC_IMAG" or "hselect {psuedo_image} RA,DEC in pyraf). Check the PA by comparing the pseudo image orientation (after inverting y and rotating to the PA listed in the OT) with eg. a DSS image in the OT position editor.
Checking the Masks
You should not expect to find any problems with the mask design if the PI followed the mask design instructions. However, if you see any of the problems listed below, immediately contact the PI and request they design a new mask(s).

USC wins WPIAL boys' golf title
With three scores under par, Upper St. Clair steamrolled to its 18th WPIAL title in boys' golf during the team championships held Oct. 10 at Cedarbrook Golf Course in Belle Vernon. It was the Panthers' second title in three years.
Grant Engel carded a 3-under-par 69 to claim medalist honors and pace the Panthers to a 30-stroke win over the nearest competitor. USC finished with a 381 score while Fox Chapel claimed the runner-up trophy with a 411. Central Catholic (412) and Peters Township (414) followed in third and fourth place.
"Being the guy with the lowest score is a huge honor," said Engel. "There were a lot of phenomenal golfers out there."
Two of them were Engel's teammates as Thomas Steve and Patrick McDonnell posted the next lowest scores. Each senior fired 1-under-par and finished with 71 scores.
"We thought if at least three of us scored in the low 70s," said McDonnell, "then we would do well and have a shot (at the title). There was a lot of pressure on us to do well but we all knew that we could do this. Since our freshman year, we have had a good team."
That good team included Corey Wilding and Nelson Zacur. The two seniors also now have two titles, thanks to their contributing scores of 86 and 84 respectively. Louie Olsakwosky, a freshman, who rounded out USC's starting line-up now has one championships, too.
"All the championships are special," said USC coach Todd Flynn, "but this one is particularly special because I have been blessed with wonderful kids. This group is truly special."

The EQT Energy Classic started out in 2010 as a Christmas basketball tournament in Pikeville, Ky.
A year ago, it became a tip-off event when it was moved to Canon-McMillan.
For year No. 3, the company's goal of making yearly improvements to the event will continue, as eight girls teams will join the eight-team boys field, creating one of the biggest and most highly publicized tip-off tournaments in Western Pennsylvania.
"Being able to be a part of that tradition and building on it, it's growing like leaps and bounds," said Linda Robertson, who's a Media Relations Manager with EQT. "People are completely turning out for it and supporting it.
"I think adding the girls teams doubles up on the excitement."
As part of its community outreach, EQT tries to hold tournaments – usually piggy-backed off of ones that already exists – within areas where the company has a significant presence.
Canon-McMillan and Washington County created a perfect fit, but the tournament had to be a tip-off because of the annual Powerade wrestling tournament held in late December.
The EQT not only features a ton of basketball – 20 games spread over three days – but also contests, prizes, giveaways and entertainment, including Air Elite, an acrobatic dunk team that will perform at halftime of the boys championship game on Sunday night.
"They do a great job, and they run it almost like a Division I tournament, the Maui Invitational or other preseason tournaments," said Canon-McMillan boys coach Rick Bell. "It's done first-class."
The local girls teams involved include Trinity, Washington and Canon-McMillan. Blairsville, Pikeville, Upper St. Clair and Linsly comprise one of the four-team brackets, while Saltsburg joins on with the three local squads to create what are essentially two separate tournaments happening simultaneously.
While Trinity, Wash High and Canon-Mac will play in different classifications this season, there are obvious, geographic rivalries that will be indulged when the Hillers play the Prexies at 10 a.m. Saturday and the Big Macs take on Saltsburg at noon. Both games will be at the middle school.
"I think that this will be a good way to get started," said first-year Trinity coach Bob Miles, who spent the previous 15 years at Fort Cherry. "It will be good for us."
The Hillers, who went 7-16 last year, will count on four senior leaders in Lauren Simpson, Kelsey O'Connor, Kylie Victoria and Jessica Lavelle.
Canon-McMillan has a pair of talented juniors guards: Olivia Lorusso and Brittany Hutchinson, who averaged 11 and 7.9 points per game last season, respectively.
Six-foot-1 center Mya Williams is one to watch for Wash High after averaging eight points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game last season. Guard Taylor Ellis put up 5.6 points per game a season ago.
Bell's Canon-Mac team won it all last year, beating Trinity 53-52 in the championship game behind tournament MVP Zach Wesolowski, a 6-6 senior center. Wesolowski is one of the Big Macs' top two returners along with senior guard Brett Haney, who averaged a team-high 13.2 points per game last season and should be one of the area's best.
Trinity and Wash High, though, both return all five starters.
"Having Wash High and Trinity, it's going to make for a pretty competitive tournament," Bell said.
Wash High will be led by senior guard Josh Wise, who averaged 20.2 points per game in 2011-12. Trinity brings back Christian Koroly (15.8 ppg), along with other All-District selections Corey Hunsberger and Jared Deep.
"It's going to be a good early-season tune-up for us," Wash High coach Mark Gaither said. "There are some quality teams, and we'll see them all because they loaded up our side of the bracket."
Tonight's boys games feature Burgettstown and Waynesburg at 4:30, Trinity and 2010 champion Pikeville at 6:15, Wash High and Saltsburg at 8 and Canon-McMillan versus Blairsville at 9:45.

This week, I am home sick with the flu. I keep hoping it's a 24-hour virus, but I've been counting the clock and I'm a few hours overdue for my wellness. Luckily, the flu is keeping me to my one resolution of eating less. Monday, I had two glasses of ginger ale, two glasses of water and one cracker. It was a Triscuit and they're not the easiest cracker to hold down. It's scratchy.
Flashback to October: I was working from home. I don't remember why, but nevertheless there I was. It was the last time I was home on a weekday in the middle of the day. I came out of the kitchen and into the living room and saw a man standing outside the second-story window. I let out a blood-curdling scream before I realized he was the window washer. You just don't expect to see anyone outside your second-story window. I am surprised my scream didn't knock him off the ladder. I started laughing. Actually, I was laughing so hard I ran into the office and sat down. Oddly enough, the window washer was nonplussed. I can't imagine having no reaction like he did, but I startle easily. I am sure I would have done the arms-flailing-balancing-precariously-before-plummeting-into-the-grass-below routine, just like every man on a ladder in every sitcom ever. I also would have let out a "Wh-wh-wh-whoa" as I flailed my arms.
End the harp music and snap us back to the present: There I was Tuesday morning in bed, with the flu or whatever it was, when I heard an odd noise. It sounded like someone was right outside the house trying to get in. I thought I had a bold daytime bandit. I looked around for a baseball bat or some other implement to repel my robber. I didn't have anything. I could have hit him over the head with a rolled-up Time magazine, but that wouldn't have done any damage. I stood up and peered out the window, to spy on this culprit. That's when I saw the truck with the details of the window washing company emblazoned on the side door.
I couldn't believe I was frightened by the window washer a second time. I hunkered down in bed. Then, I realized he was right outside my bedroom window. I heard him slide his squeegee down the window and back up again. I was glad the curtain was closed. I heard him humming to himself. My bed is right up against the window and there was only a sheet of glass separating us. Since I was in boxers and a T-shirt, I ran into the bathroom and hid before he got to the other window; the one with open curtains. I stayed in the bathroom (the only room without windows) until he left, hiding like Jodie Foster in "Panic Room." It was easier than putting on pants.
Had he seen me in my boxers and T-shirt, I am quite sure he would have been nonplussed, just as he had been the day I screamed when I saw him. I imagine the window washer sees all sorts of things.
I am going to have to add another resolution to my list of resolutions. I promise not to be afraid of the window washer, or, at the very least, be dressed when he visits.

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Good morning. I would highly recommend that you pay for the larger policy and avoid signing the lease in your own name. You really never want to take on personal liability for all the obligations under the lease and a larger insurance policy is a small price to pay for being allowed to have only your business on the lease so that your personal assets are protected.
I hope this has given you the guidance you were seeking. I wish you the best of luck!
