Comic book artist Will Elder passed away earlier today. I've posted before about some of his work at EC, both the solo humour work (here and here) and inking John Severin on the adventure work (here and here). He was an incredibly talented humourist, especially in his skill in mimicking different art styles and adding an insane level of background gags.
Here are a handful of great pages from his pen. First is a collaboration with John Severin from PRIZE COMICS WESTERN, before their EC work. Several pages from the comic book version of MAD follow, showing some of his range. The loose adaptation of Poe is a great example of his own style. The parody of the Howdy Doody show is probably the first Elder story I read, in the Smithsonian reprint book. The Gasoline Alley and Disney parodies are just line for line perfection in how they capture their targets. The "L'il Melvin" page is from PANIC, looking back on the preceding story and making fun of Elder's own hidden detail style, as well as the anti-comics hysteria of the era ("These... are phonographic pictures!" cracks me up every time). And the two page spread from the magazine version of MAD shows that everyone was fair game.

We live in perhaps the most competitive environments that's ever existed.
The old walls and barriers for an unlimited education have fallen by the wayside entirely, and it's now possible to find out anything about anything with nothing more than the unbelievably compact devices nearly all people keep in our pockets.
While a lot of us use those remarkable little cellular phones and tablets to share cat videos with one another, the internet has enabled us to benefit from the kind of library of information– complimentary information– that has simply never existed in the past.
This offers everybody and will shake at discovering anything as well as anybody else around the globe (supplied they likewise have an internet connection), and it's made for more competitive company environments, more competitive individual relationships, and normally more competitors across all elements of human life.
The amount of information available is a little bit of a double-edged sword, nevertheless.blinkist phone number
Sure, there's more access to details out there now than there ever used to be before– however there's definitely inadequate time to consume all of that info already offered, let alone the flood of information being created on an almost minute by minute basis, too.
This is where Blinkist comes into play.
Leveling the playing field drastically by supplying access to the crucial insights and fast summaries of more than 2000 best-selling nonfiction books from authors across most every field you can possibly imagine, the Blinkist book list allows you to digest the "bite-size" nuggets of important details included within all of these bestsellers– condensing down 300+ page books into just a few core aspects so that you get all the meat without any of the fat.
This is a service that can considerably enhance your professional skills, open up completely brand-new worlds to you, and supply you with a foundational education in anything and everything you might ever want to learn from some of the best minds in that particular field.
It really doesn't get much better than that!
Well, okay, it does a little bit – but that's because you'll be able to try Blinkist free before you dive right in!
Learn about ANYTHING from the best and brightest in that field
As we highlighted above, when you associate Blinkist you are able to read the distillation of more than 2000 leading very popular nonfiction titles across more than 20 different classifications, offering you with the type of insight and info that you may never have had access to otherwise.
Nobody (and we imply NOBODY) has the time to check out 2000 bestsellers throughout every possible discipline, specifically when we're discussing the sort of nonfiction bestsellers that can come in at a quite meaty 300+ page count with no trouble whatsoever.
In fact, if you were to survey any specific profession field, you 'd likely discover that only about 1% (and most likely even less than that) ever put in the time to read all of the bestsellers that are available each year from that specific field– as well as less than that whatever take the time to check out all the bestsellers from the last five or 10 years to give them the type of fundamental understanding that might catapult their success to totally brand-new levels.
And those are currently amazingly effective people we're speaking about that attempt to learn something brand-new about their field or their profession each and every single day!
With your Blinkist subscription, you don't need to worry about chewing through 250 pages of fat to get to the 50 or two pages of core principles and critical concepts that could stimulate totally new ideas, completely brand-new ideas, and revolutionary new innovation across any aspect of your life that can be affected by nonfiction books.
Want to become a better salesperson or profession?
Want to become a better manager or executive?
Want to become a better husband or wife?
Want to become a better person in general?
Who better to learn from them the top 50 authors in the field and the condensed knowledge of all those experts available at your fingertips anytime you want to learn?
This is life altering knowledge that you have access to, and you'll be able to consume it with lightning like speed, too. People on the Blinkist wiki are calling it the "Digital Library of Alexandria" for a reason!

You'll have the ability to learn more about what you desire, when you want, and from who you want– all in bite-size chunks or all at once, depending entirely upon your rate, your interests, your objectives, and any other aspect that may contribute in your self-education.
When you give up complete control over your education to somebody else the chances are that you're never ever going to learn has effectively or as efficiently as you would have if you were sitting in the motorist seat. We've all been in classes or courses where we just sort of zoned out, and we've all spent excellent money on quality training to just remove a handful of nuggets that actually do not make as much of an effect as we had actually hoped they would have.
That's not being a problem with Blinkist summaries.
Instead, you're securely in control of your very own self-guided education and you have the ability to take in these bite-size chunks of material whenever and wherever you feel like it.

More acoustic and melodic than his previous album, this new release by John Garcia demonstrates a maturity in his vocals, although he still has a slight tendency to drift off key.
However, this is a very small criticism of a superb record. Not afraid to play with unexpected tempo changes, 'The Coyote Who Spoke In Tongues' is a very immediate album. No third or fourth listen is required before this becomes a favourite.The album kicks off at a pulsing pace with 'Kylie'. With a memorable chorus, it's a song that feels like an immediate classic. When you think you have it sussed, it puts on the brakes for a beautiful middle section.
While less confident artists tend to front load their albums with the big, energetic numbers, John Garcia is so assured in the strength of his music that he is happy to take the foot off the gas on the second track 'Green Machine'. It works and helps maintain the mood for the rest of the album. 'Green Machine' conjures up images of tumbleweeds and high noon stand-offs. It wouldn't feel out of place on an album by those other storytellers, 'Protomen'
'Give me 250ML' continues the loose, acoustic feel of the album. This track feels like John is playing to no one in a dressing room before hitting the stage. A simple but effective track.
Beginning with a catchy acoustic riff 'The Hollingsworth Session' continues the more relaxed approach that is unfolding with every song on this new Garcia recording.
A song that would sit comfortably on any 70s record, 'Space Cadet', unlike it's title, feels very grounded. A perfect song for cracking open a few beers around a campfire
'Gardenia' has shades of 'Zombie Eaters' by Faith No More before it moves into a southern bluegrass final minute.
Unlike the other tracks on the album, 'El Rodeo' has an almost sinister opening. This song would fit perfectly on the soundtrack for the next season of 'Westworld'. It is one of the more complex pieces on the record. However, it's in this song that John's vocal abilities seemed to be stretched too far, especially in the last section.
'Argleben II' begins gently and soon moves into one of the more memorable guitar riffs on the album. Like the rest of the recording it has a depth to it that creates a song that is more than the sum of its parts.
John's guitar skills are beautifully evident in 'Court Order', the instrumental final track on the album. It is a very fitting way to close.
There's no denying that 'The Coyote Who Spoke In Tongues' is a very confident record and definitely gives John Garcia another string to his bow.
If you are after an energetic record to bounce around your living room to then blast out John's previous album 'John Garcia'. If you are more in the mood for sitting in your rocking chair while sipping "lemonade" as the sun goes down, then stick this on and enjoy.
Review by Laurence Doherty
John is joined on the record by, Acoustic guitar: Ehren Groban, Percussions: Greg Saenz, Bass: Mike Pygmie

These Rice Krispies® Christmas Cookies have the perfect texture – soft, chewy, and crispy! With a hint of vanilla and candy coated chocolate candies, these make for a simple treat during the holidays.
Y'all we are 13 days away from the big day – that is literally less than two weeks!! I am not ready! I haven't finished shopping for anyone but our nieces and nephews. My kids, nope, not finished shopping for. My husband, he hasn't even told me anything that he wants. I know that he hasn't gotten anything for me yet, because my list that I sent him, wouldn't open on his work computer. I'm way behind in the gift shopping department this year.
However, I am very ahead of schedule when it comes to baking holiday goodies. I've actually been on top of cookies and toffee. I've made so many cookies this year; my cookie jar has been overflowing. I'm not going to complain one bit though, and I know that my family won't either.
Let me tell y'all about these cookies. They are exploding with textures and flavor. They are the perfect soft baked cookie with a twist. The Rice Krispies® provide the perfect crispy element for these cookies. I put what in my cookies? I know, it sounds weird. Most people look at a box of Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® and think marshmallows. We do too, I mean I've made quite a few different Rice Kripspies® treats over the years.
However, there is just something about these cookies that are far better than any Rice Krisipes® treat ever thought about being. Sounds complicated you say? No way! It's literally the basic of basic cookie doughs with a little something special.
See, what did I tell ya'll? Simple. Simple cookies are the best. Oh, and the fact that these only take 9 minutes to bake makes my family happy! I let them cool just a moment, and then we chow down! These make about 3-dozen cookies. Tons! Plenty for you, a cookie exchange, your family, friends, and whoever else you decide deserves one of the best cookies ever!
Kelsie is usually the one to make these cookies because it's just a simple recipe. This time however my cookie helper was watching a movie that we grabbed at Walmart while we were shopping for the Kellogg's® Rice Krispies®.
Looking for more tasty recipes? Take a look here! What if your favorite way to enjoy Kellogg's® Rice Krispies®? Have an-of-the-box recipe?

For # 1, I cannot yet duplicate it. But even if/when I could, I'm not sure where the source is to correct it]]>
Ohh is this Cart64 or CartPC?]]>
Loaded in datamap, colormap, tileset, and then datatype. I changed my mind about the datatype, deleted the filename and pressed return. Cart64 started to load a file and crashed. I'm guessing it loaded the previous file (tileset) into the datatype area and crashed, probably the filename buffer isn't cleared between loads?]]>
Loaded up the files (tileset, datamap, colormap, datatype), made some changes to the datatype, saved it. Loaded another datatype and popped back into the editor. After entering datatype mode (shift-D) the map editing window had the proper colors, but the tileset/matrix window contained the old, loaded over, datatype colors.]]>
That issue is because the way the tips were recorded we're on of off. In the new version a table of 00,01,10,11 are kept that way it will know what's what]]>
In the tile editor I can draw pixels and then use the palette to color them any color except black. If a tile has all pixels turned off, it appears as the same color as my background as it should, but if you turn the pixels back on, they are not black like they should be!]]>
Excellent work sir! Nice and quick!
Now, code me up a Project1 style bitmap editor replacement in your lunch time! Chop chop!
YES! Thanks! Release tomorrow, right?!]]>
Now, code me up a Project1 style bitmap editor replacement in your lunch time! Chop chop!]]>
Also added to the current Datatype menu a way to export datatype to match map size since before this every Datatype size was 256x128(0-255x0-127)

When you're using RMB selecting tiles in the tileset window if you move the mouse down beyond the tileset window and let go of the RMB you'll get an error window and when you click the OK button CartPC shuts down and all work is lost.
Run-time Error '6':
I was able to reproduce the error twice, but now I'm having trouble getting it to crash.

Pine Canyon/Donahue Loop Hike
It was scheduled to hit 115 degrees in the valley and we knew it was time to get out. A total of three of us piled into a Fiesta and pointed the nose towards Payson. We had our sights set on the Pine Canyon/Donahue loop that starts at the Pine Trailhead just outside of.......wait for it....... Pine, AZ.
Anyway the loop consist 11.75 Miles and links multiple trails and roads together. The hike starts with a gradual climb, slowly working it's way up to Milk Ranch Point. Along the way we were feeling the heat as it was still hovering around 85 degrees. The trail showed signs of recent work and was a pleasure to walk along. On the way we stumbled upon a large dead fox. After observing the creature and some tastful "What Does a Fox Say?" jokes we were on our way. Suddenly the trail takes a sharp turn (at a marked junction) and literally heads straight up the side of the mountain. This portion of the trail is one of the steepest routes I have ever done. The footing is terrible and you are using all fours to claw your way up, in between short bouts of slipping. Anyway after some very mild scrambling you reach the top and the end of the trail. Here you begin a short but slow bushwack as you make your way towards a fire road. Reaching the fire road is a welcome relief. The route continues along a second fire road and eventually delivers you to the Donahue Trail. This route consisted of moderate switchbacks dropping us on the Highline Trail. The Highline felt like a super highway as we cruised on back to the car. This hike has some emergency water sources, but you should not count on them. This hike is a tough one but provides excellent views of Pine.
Trail Information can be found here.

By W.J. Astore
Source: Bracing Views
Why do empires fall? Sometimes, it's easy to identify a cause. Whether led by the Kaiser or by Hitler, Germany's Second and Third Empires were destroyed by world wars. Germany's ambition was simply too great, its militarism too dominant, its policies too harsh to win long-term converts, its leaders too blinded by the pursuit of power, its enemies too many to conquer or otherwise neutralize.
Other imperial falls are more complex. What caused Rome's fall? (Leaving aside the eastern part of the empire, which persisted far longer as the Byzantine Empire.) Barbarians and their invasions, say some. The enervating message and spirit of Christianity, said the historian Edward Gibbon. Rome's own corruption and tyranny, say others. Even lead in Roman water pipes has been suggested as a contributing cause to Rome's decline and fall. Taking a longer view, some point to the rise of Islam in the 7th century and its rapid expansion into previously Roman territories as the event that administered the final coup de grâce to a dying empire.
America's empire, it is clear, is now in decline, and a key reason is imperial overstretch as manifested by endless wars and overspending on the military (with literally trillions of dollars being thrown away on fruitless wars). An especially fine summary is Alfred McCoy's article at TomDispatch.com. As McCoy notes:
In effect, the president and his team, distracted by visions of shimmering ships and shiny planes (with their predictable staggering future cost overruns), are ready to ditch the basics of global dominion: the relentless scientific research that has long been the cutting edge of U.S. military supremacy. And by expanding the Pentagon while slashing the State Department, Trump is also destabilizing that delicate duality of U.S. power by skewing foreign policy ever more toward costly military solutions (that have proved anything but actual solutions) …
In just one extraordinary year, Trump has destabilized the delicate duality that has long been the foundation for U.S. foreign policy: favoring war over diplomacy, the Pentagon over the State Department, and narrow national interest over international leadership. But in a globalizing world interconnected by trade, the Internet, and the rapid proliferation of nuclear-armed missiles, walls won't work. There can be no Fortress America.
In this passage, McCoy stresses the damage being done by the Trump administration. But Trump is just the culmination of certain trends, e.g. favoring the Pentagon over the State Department is nothing new, as I wrote about here in 2010. And America has been in love with shimmering ships and shiny planes for generations, with several administrations supporting the F-35 jet fighter, a program that may end up costing as much as $1.4 trillion. Plenty of money for weapons that kill; not so much for medicines that cure: that's imperial America in a nutshell.
I would stress that America's strength overseas was (and is) always based on its strength at home in areas such as science, education, infrastructure, medicine, manufacturing, and exports. But what we've witnessed over the last 40 years is an immense and wasteful "investment" in wars and weapons even as our country itself has hollowed out. Science is now marked by the denial of facts (such as global warming). Education is all about students as consumers, with an overall decline in standards and performance. Infrastructure is crumbling. Medicine is too expensive and America's overall health and life expectancy are both in decline. Manufacturing and exports have withered (except for the production and export of weapons, naturally).
As a result of all this, America is running a national debt of roughly 20 trillion dollars. The future is being sacrificed for the present, a tragic reality reflected in the latest Republican tax cut, which benefits the richest Americans the most, along with big corporations, and which will likely add another trillion to the national debt.
In short, America's foreign decline is mirrored (and driven) by its domestic decline as reflected by its choices. Looking at the USA today, you get the sense it's the best of times for the richest few, and the worst of times for so many Americans struggling with health care debt, student loan debt, and the uncertainty of low-wage jobs that could be outsourced at any moment. At the same time, the American political scene is driven by fear: of immigrants, of a nuclear war with North Korea, of Russian meddling (real or imagined), of growing Chinese power, and of the perpetually-hyped threat of terrorist attacks on "the Homeland."
Empires can fall very quickly, as the "thousand-year" Third Reich did, or they can fall ever so slowly, as the Roman Empire did. But fall they do. What is in the cards for the United States?

Please introduce yourself
Budapest Dental Trips are here to help patients navigate the world of dental tourism: to find the best form of treatment for their specific needs, to alleviate the stress of travelling to a foreign country, and to help them realize incredible savings while they do it.
Dental treatment can be stressful, even when it's at a local clinic. The thought of treatment in an unfamiliar and foreign city can be even more daunting.
At Budapest Dental Trips, we understand that patients seeking treatment abroad have unique concerns. We also recognize that a great dental experience doesn't begin and end in the dentist's chair.
Our mission is to manage our patients concerns, alleviate their worries and make the experience as smooth and pleasant as possible…. whatever the concern, whatever the requirement, we are here from beginning to end to help in all aspects of the experience, from choosing the right dentist at the right price, to helping arrange travel, accommodation and tours within the patient's budget and time constraints.
Please list your accreditations, certifications & associations
All of the dentists we work with have been background checked and personally vetted. The clinics, too, have been scrutinized; from the general condition of the clinic, to the equipment used, to the sterilization procedures followed, to the training courses taken, to the fluency of English spoken.
As an example of the high standards we employ, see the qualifications and accreditations of our Implantologist.
• Master Of Oral Medicine In Implantology,
• Advanced Reconstructive Techniques in Implant and Periodontal Therapy (Loma Linda University USA)
• ICOI (International Congress of Oral Implantology)
• Guided Tissue Regeneration – GORE (USA)
• Techniques of bone augmentation – GEISTLICH (SWISS)
• Nobel Biocare Branemark and Replace (SWE)
• Ankylos Friadent (GER)
• Zimmer TPS, SwissPlus (USA)
How long have you been in business?
As a business, we have years of experience within the dental industry. Our Patient Coordinator has spent over 10 years in the field, while our dentists average between 15-33 years of service.
What services do you offer?
Dental implants
Bone Graft
Sinus lift
Hygienic Treatment

Teeth fillings
All on 4
How many dental implant procedures have you done?
Number of implants placed: over 24,000 dental implants. Success rate: 97% + success rate
Why should someone choose you over the competition?
Our Patient's expectations may be great, but so is our ability to meet them. We don't recommend run-of- the- mill dentists, we don't promote clinics that we haven't vetted, and we don't treat our patients like just another number.
We are specialists in the dental industry; we "talk" dentistry: we know the questions to ask, the materials to use, the technology to rely on. All of the dentists we work with have been background checked and met in person. The clinics, too, have been scrutinized; from the general condition of the clinic, to the equipment used, to the sterilization procedures followed, to the training courses taken, to the fluency of English spoken.
It's simple: We know what needs to be done. We do it. We do it well.
Where do most of your patients come from?
Mainly from word of mouth and recommendations from other satisfied patients. We also have a growing web presence, centred on our website.
What procedures do you typically recommend and perform?
We'll only recommend a course of treatment that is: 1) needed, 2) will achieve the desired outcome and 3) has every chance of success. Before any kind of treatment, a full examination is completed, at no cost or obligation to the patient. If needed, we'll also take x-rays and a CT scan to confirm our findings. Once this has been done, we work with the patient to determine the best form of treatment for them. We would never make a generic recommendation for treatment without making sure it wasn't suitable first.
What type of implants does your clinic use?
We believe that anyone with missing teeth should be able to benefit from implant treatment, regardless of their budget. For that reason, we offer implants across the full price spectrum, including SGS, Implant Direct, Nobel, Zimmer. Ankylos, Straumann and Legacy
Please give me a summary of the steps in the process of getting an implant at your clinic.
If a patient is happy to supply information about their condition (along with any available dental x-rays or CT scans) prior to their appointment, we can usually give an advance indication of their candidacy for implant treatment along with a provisional treatment plan and quotation. Once they arrive at the dentist's chair, the first step is the No Obligation, Free of Charge Consultation.
During the consultation, the dentist will make use of x-rays and if needed, organize CT scans to evaluate the condition of the patient's mouth/ bone tissue to make sure they are a suitable candidate for implants. They will then discuss the personalized treatment plan to ensure the patient is confortable and happy with the process.
Sometimes, other types of treatment may be needed to ensure the success of the implant. If so, the dentist will discuss this as part of the treatment plan. Possible treatments include:
- Extraction in the case of a decayed tooth. If an extraction is required, we recommend the area is allowed to heal for between 4 and 6 months before implant surgery.
- Bone Augmentation – If there is insufficient bone in the lower jaw, a bone augmentation may be needed. In this event, a healing period of 4-6 months may be required before implant surgery can begin.
- Sinus Lift- if there is insufficient bone in the upper jaw, a Sinus Lift may be indicated. After a Sinus Lift, a minimum of 6-8 months is usually needed before implantation.
(Under certain circumstances, it may be possible to perform these treatments at the same time as the implant is placed. The dentist will determine the patient's candidacy for this during the initial examination).
Once all the conditions for surgery have been met, and any recommended healing time has passed, the procedure can begin.
Can you please provide a quick description of the surgical procedure at your clinic?
Step 1- Implant Placement.
A small incision is made into the gum to expose the jaw. The implant is placed and the incision is closed. After placement, a healing time of 4-6 months is required, during which time the bone will ossify around the implant. If the patient requires temporary teeth during the healing process, they may either continue to wear their existing dentures or opt for fixed or removable temporary teeth made by our on-site laboratory.
Step 2- Impression for Final Restoration
(e.g. crown, bridge or implant retained denture)
The implant site is exposed via a small incision to allow access to the implant. Impressions are taken for the final restoration (a crown, bridge or denture) to be made.
Step 3- Fitting of Final Restoration.
An attachment called an abutment is fixed or screwed to the implant. The abutment acts as the anchor for the restoration, which is now secured in place.
How much do your procedures cost?
Prices range between £910 to £1620, depending on the implant system, abutment, and restoration used. These prices are fully inclusive of consultations, medical packs, x-rays, CT scans, implant, abutment and crown/ bridge.
What payment methods do you accept? Do you offer financing?
We accept payment by cash, credit/ debit card or bank transfer. If treatment is spread over multiple appointments, patients have the option of either paying the full amount upfront, or spreading the cost by paying after each visit only for the treatment received during that particular session.
How many appointments are required to get one or two implants?
In best case scenarios, implant treatment takes 2 visits. However, if the patient requires additional treatment, such as extractions or bone augmentation, this may result in more appointments being required. It all depends on the specific needs of the individual patient.
How long is the healing time like for patients who get dental implants?
After the initial surgery; a healing time of 3-6 months is usually recommended. The length of time depends in part on the sites of surgery and whether any bone augmentation/ grafting is required.
What do you advise your patients to do if they have a problem with their implant?
All of our products and services come with a guarantee. Depending on the implant system used, the guarantee period will range from 5 years to a lifetime. In the unlikely event of a problem with our work, we will cover all necessary dental and laboratory costs to rectify the problem. We will also provide free transport to/from the airport upon arrival and departure, as well as free tickets for public transport in Budapest.

When presented with the information that unborn and new-born babies die of natural causes countless times every day, one is forced to consider the implications this has on their beliefs of a ruler of the universe. Since an unborn, or new-born baby is innocent in every way, how can it's untimely death contribute to the supposed planned system? Rationally one is forced to choose one of the followin…

Over 50s life and funeral plans FAQ's
How can my cash lump sum be used?
Our over 50s life plan pays a cash lump sum to your estate when you die. Many customers may want to use it to leave a legacy to their loved ones, or to make sure outstanding bills are taken care of.
Others may choose to donate the money to a charity that's close to their heart, or to help make arrangements for their pets to be taken care of.
Another option is to use the sum to make a contribution towards your funeral costs. With us, you can get an extra 10% on top of your cash lump sum if you select our funeral benefit option in association with Dignity, the UK's leading funeral director. When the time comes, Dignity will be available to provide all the support and guidance your family will need to make the necessary arrangements.
You can find out more about this option by downloading a copy of our funeral benefit leaflet.
What will my family receive?
With the Rias Over 50s Life Plan, your estate will receive a lump sum when you die.
The life plan also comes with the following benefits:
- If you die as a result of an accident, as defined in your life plan details document, within the first two years of taking out your plan, we'll pay out three times the value of your cash lump sum.
- If you die from any other cause within the first two years of taking out your plan, we'll pay back one and a half times (150%) the value of your cash lump sum.
- After your 90th birthday, your payments stop but your cover will continue for the rest of your life.
Can I cash in the plan at any time?
It's important to understand your life plan only pays a cash sum upon your death, so you cannot claim it at any time. If you decide to stop paying your premiums, your cover will stop and you won't get any money back. All benefits paid out under our over 50s life plan are currently free of income or capital gains tax, but may be subject to inheritance tax, depending on the inheritance tax threshold at the time of your day. Please be aware that tax rules may change.
