Opening the box you're greeted with a well laid out package with the instruction manual available right away. Under that is everything you need, AC adapter, USB charging cable, a cleaning tool kit and the Hydrology9 dry herb vaporizer. The initial charge was short and was ready pretty quick. Everything was pretty clear in the instruction manual and we commenced to fill the water chamber and heating chamber for initial use. FYI, run it through several highest temp setting cycles empty to rid the area of any manufacturing remains. We also rinsed off the water chamber areas with ISO and rinsed off.
Loading the heating chamber requires a little finesse. If you're not careful your herb is everywhere including the heating chamber. You can pack it, not real tight, but it is packable enough to get a nice couple sessions out of. It requires more effort to pull when packed too tight. When you assemble the top of the water chamber it does require it to be properly seated and tight, or it will leak water. When it is time to turn the vape on press the button 3 times in succession and it will flash green letting you know the battery is good to go. Next, each press will step through 5 temp settings, with blue being the lowest then, yellow, orange, purple, red as the highest. It will flash at desired temp until it is reached then go green to start the session. It will maintain temp for 2 minutes then go in a 60 second cool down. A single press will initiate another session. During the session and warm-up, it can display a LED color show. In low light, it's actually a cool effect, although it will shorten battery life a bit.
Cleaning and maintenance are fairly straight forward but must be kept up or airflow issues will result, as well as diminished flavors. As with any cannabis appliance, maintenance is an important part of proper function. Proper cleaning assures operation but maintains that high flavor quality expected out of a vape, add the water filtration and the flavors are well maintained. With a temp change for different flowers, different terpene profiles can be enhanced or made more flavorful. During in-depth maintenance, we recommend you familiarize yourself with disassembly and re-assembly as you will have multiple parts when completely disassembled. A little ISO, some time and patience will return the vape to new.
In Conclusion here is what we found. This is a state of the art vaporizer and will deliver super clean and smooth full-flavored rips. This is a coffee table piece and makes for a great conversation piece where something way more classy than any pen type will do. It is beautifully designed and thought out vaporizer with a very visually appealing appearance whether in the very classy and discrete leather carry case or on the office desk or coffee table. It's sure to attract attention. This is not a small pocket vape. If discrete portability while in use or packability is an issue this isn't the vape for you. At 6 and 3/4 inches tall and 1 and 3/4 wide, its got some size to it and with the durability built into the design from the glass mouthpiece to the water chamber and aircraft aluminum its got some weight to as well. Fully loaded with water it weighs in at 386 grams or 13 ounces. Again it's not a cheaper plastic vape. We found it overall to deliver a superior taste, battery life was acceptable, it's a tad in the high maintenance department, but well worth the cleaning and time.
It is not a super portable piece, but in the leather case it is possible to roam in public unnoticed, but take it out and turn it on, and you will attract attention as it does have the eye appeal. For a couple folks or alone it's an ideal way to medicate or recreate without the combustion of smoking and a healthier alternative. The water filtration really sets this apart from anything else we have tested. We give it a solid 3.5+ out of 5 Green stars, just due to portability, but it is a new favorite around the lounge for dry herb vaping so that speaks for itself.

Dreaming in America
Lizzie Fitch / Ryan Trecartin
Astrup Fearnley Museet
23.02.2018 – 20.05.2018
So here we are, sitting in these broken down sets and I already find myself talking like the characters in the videos. Bitching and bickering, so loud and hysterical. Like, everything is greeted as an offense.
Yeah, they're pretty fluent in the language of identity politics.
Haha, noo…. Watching them is fun, but it also makes me feel anxious, claustrophobic. And this guy who keeps flipping the light switch makes me all aunt-ie, like: don't! Stop it!
The first time I saw Fitch/Trecartin videos was in Venice, just before I was going on a year long exchange in California. And I was thinking «oh no, is this what I signed up for? Is this the true face of AMERIKKKA?» To some extent it was. But I also wanted to be with them, these fun club kids.
Yea, like that guy in the bar with the new tan lines. "Look at my new arms – a great purchase."
Also notice how no one in the videos are ever getting anywhere. Like those girls at the make shift plane inside someone's LA mansion; or those guys readying themselves for the club, THEY WONT MAKE IT OUT THE DOOR.
And it's so painful to behold! It's like The Kardashians, the plot is going nowhere, but I could still watch it forever.
I'm identifying with characters and then getting lost. It seems like the first video is a combination of simulated characters sneaking off to have real experiences and then getting caught in dialogue with their controllers.
Who knows, maybe what would happen in the end would be really bad.
Yeah, like murder. It reminds me of a Paul McCarthy video where it's just a bunch of hot girls in a trailer chopping a person up and having so much fun. Actually, this whole show reminds me of a kinder, more gentile and gender sensitive descendant of McCarthy.
There's a feeling of melancholy too. I don't want to sound mean, but it's like these people have been abandoned in the debris and surplus trash of culture. Look at all those shitty, messy things they're surrounded by. Crap someone has designed, manufactured and shipped out to overwhelm the world in an apocalypse of appalling products. Did everyone else leave? All aboard the Tesla of Elon Musk?
Maybe. It's like the characters long to be somewhere else. In a more glamorous, high class, bourgeois world. To be accomplished artists. Models. Successful business people! American Dreams from the backwaters.
I think Fitch & Trecartin are genuine about this depiction of «low». Like, the other day I saw The Florida Project by Sean Baker, and the footage is really nice. Careful, never intruding, warm colors. But I'm also uneasy about the movie's aestheticization of the poor and desperate. Because, where is Baker speaking from? He's of course allowed to make a film like this, but you have to be cautious. Whereas Fitch & Trecartin's work feels more sincere. Maybe because the sculptures and videos are so humorous and self-deprecating, but never insensitive.
They're so accurate at pinpointing the rite junk, like those «5 hour energy»-bottles this girl is gushing down. Or those sculptures down stairs: the abandoned motor with a kid on top wearing a «I'm Single and Free» T-shirt. Fitch & Trecartin are proving to have a sincere and complicated relationship to these objects.
I love It's Over – Be More Gay (2006), the silly grins on those sculptures and that hideous lamp. The expressionistic paint is really nice too, and that rug… Maybe they're planning a vacation to Gran Canaria and can't wait to get on the plane. While this creepy baby is documenting their joy de vivre, exuberance. The thrill of being alive! The baby's camera adds ambiguity, like in all Fitch & Trecartin videos: are the characters just posing, or is this frenzied expression their usual mode of being?
It's like my family on the Danskebåt this past summer! But for real, I just went to a lecture given by this Marxist economist Richard Wolff. He says Americans have made a deal with capitalism. Work rite into the grave, accept crappy pay, and no health insurance, and in exchange you can have all the random shit your heart desires. I think that makes Americans *like myself* place a spiritually high value to shit. It's a bad trade, but its a part of the soul now.
Still, the thought of these sculptures sitting in a pristine marble grand salon or something… I'm not sure if the sculptures makes me feel better about these waste objects. It's either like sending my grandmother to Paris, or like sending my grandmother to Paris in a cage.

Tank Commanders!
World of Tanks has undergone significant changes for the past year, which has affected each aspect of the project from game mechanics to the interface itself. We are really proud of our creation, and we'd like take a moment to highlight some of the most important innovations and improvements we've made from June 2012 till September 2013.
One of the fundamental innovations of 2012 is undoubtedly the introduction of the new physics involved in modelling tank motion. With this change, we've managed to enhance the realism of the vehicles in battle. The new physics enabled a wider range of situations, including fall damage, jumps over obstacles, tank drowning and skidding while travelling in high speeds. The physics change also spurred reworks for existing maps to allow for innovative tactics with new offensive and defensive advantages in terrain.
We have also introduced two new game modes in Summer 2012 – Encounter Battle and Assault – which are accessible under Random Battles. In an Encounter Battle, both teams spawn with a neutral base, with the objective being the destruction of all enemy vehicles or capturing the base located within the same distance from the opposing teams.
In Assault, the battle time is set to 10 minutes. One team begins the game with no base of their own, and are tasked to capture the enemy base or eliminate all enemy tanks. No draw result is possible in this mode; if the attacking team fails to attain the goal within the specified time, they will lose.
In 2013, we introduced heavy modifications to the game mechanics with Update 8.6, focusing primarily on the camouflage system, HEAT and APCR shell performance and armour penetration mechanisms, as well as the hit detection system.
The changes in the camouflage system made battles slightly more complicated for players who preferred to fire while hiding in vegetation. Since the update, they had to begin hiding their vehicles with more care and rigour. On the other hand, the camouflage skill bonuses for some vehicles like the TDs were increased, along with the heightened role played by camouflage with regard to lowering the chance of detection by the enemy.
A new accuracy calculation formula that we've introduced also changed the distribution of hits inside the reticle circle. To put it simply, a greater number of shells are now hitting closer to the centre of the reticle. Thus, even with the original gun dispersion formula in place, shells now tend to hit their targets more often.
A new process of rendering graphics appeared in World of Tanks together with the improved physical model. The enhanced graphics enabled the game to be displayed in a much higher quality while still keeping the old system requirements. Dynamic shadows, improved lighting and more natural-looking water began to appear on the maps. The work on graphics optimization and improvement is still an ongoing process, and you can see how the landscape has evolved throughout the updates from the screenshot below.
Due to the limited resources used in displaying the graphics, owners of low performance PCs are still able to enjoy a smooth gameplay experience by disabling the updated renders.
The ability to add custom camouflage designs on tanks was also one of the features added to the game during this period, along with personal emblems and historical inscriptions. The camouflage feature in particular serves a limited purpose in gameplay; by using one of three available themes (winter, summer and autumn), players can gain a bonus to the invisibility of their tanks if the colour scheme of the maps corresponds with their camouflage.
The opportunity to purchase premium shells and consumables with credits were added in Updates 8.1 and 8.5 respectively. Tankers who have no premium account were also granted the possibility to create platoons for three people and Tank Companies as well. These additions were helpful in equalizing all World of Tanks players by diminishing the advantage that money once brought.
A tutorial section was added, giving new players a chance to learn the basics of gameplay before they joined the game proper. New players begin learning about tank warfare on a training field as soon as they start the game, and are required to complete the tutorial before they are allowed to participate in real battles. Finishing the tutorial also rewards the player with some credits and experience, which can be spent on researching and upgrading vehicles.
In Update 8.6, Battle Missions were introduced into World of Tanks as part of an ongoing effort to provide content to players. Players must accomplish these missions by participating in Random Battles, with a wide variety of possible goals to aim for. Some mission requirements include attaining a certain amount of XP, receiving a specific medal, or destroying enemy vehicles of a certain type. Players who complete these missions in time will receive a pre-determined reward, which can change from mission to mission.
From Update 8.8 onwards, players will be able to access a special user interface, which allows them to see the full list of current missions and track their current progress in completing them.
The Service Record tab has also been completely reworked. The new version is much more informative than the old one, and it presents the information within in a well-designed layout that proves much more attractive than before.
The first ever Global Map Campaign for Clan Wars was held in Summer 2013, and it proved to be a massive in-game event. Clan participation was strong; not only were they struggling for territories and unique rewards, they also helped create a whole new dimension to the Clan Wars gamemode.
Between summer 2012 and autumn 2013 we have added:
And in that time you have:
Future Development
Going forward, we continue to evolve, improve and develop the game and have a number of enhancements and new gameplay elements coming up in the future.
Looking to update 8.8 and beyond, we have some new, interesting and long-awaited reinforcements for Germany: a second German Tank Destroyer line will be joining the battlefields.
Japanese tank fans will be pleased to know we have a new Japanese tech tree ready to roll out. Initially, this will be made up from light, medium and heavy tanks with even more vehicles to feature later.
Though we've already come a long way with improving the graphic quality since release, we're continuing to work on making the visuals ever better, with improved antialiasing algorithms, new color filters, shadows and foliage.
We have a number of other changes incoming, including: a new 7v7 company-based game mode, a second Clan Wars campaign for our newly revamped Clan Wars including exclusive rewards only for Clan Wars players, and finally we have plans for upgrading social features including changes to chat, friend list management and more.
This is just a small glimpse of some of the things we have planned for the future. We also have some big plans for future additional content that we'll share with all of you as soon as possible.
We'd like to thank all of our loyal World of Tanks players and wish them the best of luck!

Joel is an award-winning high school teacher and championship soccer coach who is also an author and public speaker, focusing on leadership and education. He is a husband, a father, and he is currently working on his first book about leadership, due to be published in early summer.
Joel has been studying leadership in different ways since 2000 when he first began studying servant leadership at Covenant College. Joel has always loved that model of servant leadership, but the concepts of Confident Humility really became a core part of his identity following his divorce. After his divorce, Joel was forced to confront the fact that almost all the negatives in his life were the result of his own pride, and therefore the only solution is humility. These lessons then became applicable in every area of his personal and professional life, from his second marriage, to his parenting, to the way in which he teaches, coaches, speaks, and writes. And Joel believes these same concepts and principles are applicable in every area of every else's life as well.
Questions You'll Hear Today:
1) Why is rethinking leadership so crucial to building a successful business?
2) What is Confident Humility, and what does it have to do with business and entrepreneurship?
3) How do these principles apply to my specific business venture or to various business models?
4) Why does a leader's attitude and approach matter even more than any product or service?
5) Why do you focus so much on relationships when discussing these topics?
6) Do these principles apply well to a large group, or just in small groups?

The rose diagram shows the combination of swells directed at Kahutara through an average January, based on 2868 NWW3 model predictions since 2007 (values every 3 hours). The wave model does not forecast wind or surf right at the coast so we have chosen the most applicable grid node based on what we know about Kahutara. In the case of Kahutara, the best grid node is 34 km away (21 miles). The rose diagram describes the distribution of swell sizes and swell direction, while the graph at the bottom shows the same thing without direction information. Five colours represent increasing wave sizes. Very small swells of less than 0.5m (1.5 feet) high are shown in blue. These were forecast only 41% of the time. Green and yellow represent increasing swell sizes and biggest swells greater than >3m (>10ft) are shown in red. In both graphs, the area of any colour is proportional to how often that size swell occurs. The diagram indicates that the most common swell direction, shown by the biggest spokes, was SSE, whereas the the prevailing wind blows from the ENE. Because the wave model grid is out to sea, sometimes a strong offshore wind blows largest waves away from Kahutara and offshore. We lump these in with the no surf category of the bar chart. To avoid confusion we don't show these in the rose plot. Because wind determines whether or not waves are clean enough to surf at Kahutara, you can view an alternative image that shows only the swells that were predicted to coincide with glassy or offshore wind conditions. In a typical January, swells large enough to cause surfable waves at Kahutara run for about 59% of the time.

With stock prices falling and competitors gaining, the Internet service giant takes the offensive
According to Ulric Weil, senior technology analyst for Friedman, Billings, Ramsey & Co. Inc., North Arlington, Va., the business model adjustment reflects AOL's acceptance that "the subscriber base is simply a means to an end. They were obsessed with the idea that you build the base and everything will come up roses. Yes, they still target $10 million by year-end. But now they understand the need to explore other revenue opportunities, to focus the business case on content in the broad sense, that is, advertising, transactions and virtual malls and stores."
Shifting from rifles to shotguns and aiming its marketing weapons over the heads of CompuServe, Prodigy, Genie and Delphi, AOL is mounting a take-no-prisoners campaign at the nation's more than 3,840 Internet service providers. From its home page come the words, "Find out why AOL is the Internet... and more.
"The Internet is too valuable a tool to be left to the techies of the world. America Online works hard at making Internet tools that everyone can use without sacrificing any of the features experienced users enjoy. You don't have to be a programmer to enjoy all that the Internet has to offer -- all you need is AOL!"
All of this supports AOL's own Internet service, Global Network Navigator. Launched last October, GNN targets the user who wants full Internet service. Membership, which includes 20 hours of service per month, costs $14.95. Each hour in excess is $1.95.
For comparison, many Internet service providers such as Erol's Internet Services, Springfield, Va., CAIS Internet, McLean, Va., and Netcom On-Line Communication Services Inc., San Jose, Calif., are dropping limits on monthly service and simply charging a flat fee.
Arcane Accounting: "Deferred Subscriber Acquisition Costs"
On a different battle front, where figures count more than flamboyance, AOL continued its practice of deferring so-called subscriber acquisition costs. In other words, rather than immediately expense them, the company writes off the cost of getting new subscribers for as long as two years when they use direct response advertising. One example of such advertising is the 3.5-inch computer diskettes the company sends in the mail or that come bound in magazines.
The practice drew attention in the first quarter of fiscal 1996, when AOL changed the amortization period from 12 and 18 months to 24. The company's annual report leaves open the possibility of changing it yet again, for example, if the rate drops at which it attracts subscribers. The result for fiscal 1996? "The effect of this change in accounting estimate for the year ended June 30, 1996, was to increase net income by $48.1 million ($.45 per share)."
New Business Model
AOL generated almost $1.1 billion in fiscal 1996 from 6.2 million subscribers worldwide. That number was more than twice the subscribers in fiscal 1995. Alongside membership and usage, the company also makes money from ads and merchandise, transaction fees, royalties and by providing network and production services to different enterprises.
To sustain its growth, AOL started offering online service in several European countries last year and in Canada at the beginning of 1996. It soon will serve Japan through a joint venture with Mitsui & Co. (40 percent ownership), Nikkei (10 percent) and America Online (50 percent). The Japanese companies funded the launch with $56 million.
The company admits in its annual report that revenues generated from sources other than subscribers, that is, merchandise sales, data network services, online transactions and advertising, marketing and production services and development and licensing fees, will be increasingly important to meet its business objectives.
Even more dour, AOL plans to increase spending on getting subscribers with less results, that is, "the company anticipates lower direct response rates, and as a result, cost per registration for the AOL service is expected to increase." In fiscal 1996, expenses for marketing went from $77 million to $212 million, a 176 percent increase over fiscal 1995.
Among the other revenue sources the company will start counting on are subsidiaries such as AOL Enterprise, which develops and markets interactive services for businesses. These can be customized network solutions, so-called PAOLs, or private AOLs, which organizations use to generate fees -- membership, usage, transaction and production development -- and niche ad sales.
Another revenue source is AOL Productions, a multimedia production studio, which handles interactive content and design for AOL, its advertisers and media partners. The company is also beefing up AOLnet, the proprietary TCP/IP network it started in late fiscal 1995 and which now carries 65 percent of its traffic. AOLnet is supported by Sprint Corp., Advanced CO Systems Inc., an AOL subsidiary, and BBN Corp. One purpose for AOLnet, among others, is to reduce data communications costs. During fiscal 1996, it grew from 20,000 to 140,000 modems. AOL networks, including AOL Globalnet, now reach nearly 810 cities in 87 countries through more than 1,400 local telephone numbers.
Other initiatives mentioned in the annual report include agreements with several personal digital assistant manufacturers, including Sony, Motorola, Tandy and Casio, to bundle a palmtop edition of AOL's client software with their products; participation in trials with cable TV as the vehicle into PCs; and agreements with AT&T Wireless Services and MobileMedia for mobile access to AOL services.

Reasons for Designation
A standing cross is a free standing upright structure, usually of stone,
mostly erected during the medieval period (mid 10th to mid 16th centuries AD).
Standing crosses served a variety of functions. In churchyards they served as
stations for outdoor processions, particularly in the observance of Palm
Sunday. Elsewhere, standing crosses were used within settlements as places for
preaching, public proclamation and penance, as well as defining rights of
sanctuary. Standing crosses were also employed to mark boundaries between
parishes, property, or settlements. A few crosses were erected to commemorate
battles. Some crosses were linked to particular saints, whose support and
protection their presence would have helped to invoke. Crosses in market
places may have helped to validate transactions. After the Reformation, some
crosses continued in use as foci for municipal or borough ceremonies, for
example as places for official proclamations and announcements; some were the
scenes of games or recreational activity.
Standing crosses were distributed throughout England and are thought to have
numbered in excess of 12,000. However, their survival since the Reformation
has been variable, being much affected by local conditions, attitudes and
religious sentiment. In particular, many cross-heads were destroyed by
iconoclasts during the 16th and 17th centuries. Less than 2,000 medieval
standing crosses, with or without cross-heads, are now thought to exist. The
oldest and most basic form of standing cross is the monolith, a stone shaft
often set directly in the ground without a base. The most common form is the
stepped cross, in which the shaft is set in a socket stone and raised upon a
flight of steps; this type of cross remained current from the 11th to 12th
centuries until after the Reformation. Where the cross-head survives it may
take a variety of forms, from a lantern-like structure to a crucifix; the more
elaborate examples date from the 15th century. Much less common than stepped
crosses are spire-shaped crosses, often composed of three or four receding
stages with elaborate architectural decoration and/or sculptured figures; the
most famous of these include the Eleanor crosses, erected by Edward I at the
stopping places of the funeral cortege of his wife, who died in 1290. Also
uncommon are the preaching crosses which were built in public places from the
13th century, typically in the cemeteries of religious communities and
cathedrals, market places and wide thoroughfares; they include a stepped base,
buttresses supporting a vaulted canopy, in turn carrying either a shaft and
head or a pinnacled spire. Standing crosses contribute significantly to our
understanding of medieval customs, both secular and religious, and to our
knowledge of medieval parishes and settlement patterns. All crosses which
survive as standing monuments, especially those which stand in or near their
original location, are considered worthy of protection.
Neville's Cross, despite being poorly preserved, is in its original position. It has a strong historical association with the Battle of Neville's Cross.
The monument includes a pyramidal base, sole stone, socket stone and shaft
situated on the north side of Crossgate Peth opposite St John's Church in
Durham. It is surrounded by a wall which stands 1.5m high, surrounded by
iron railings. Both the wall and the railings are included in the scheduling.
The enclosure formed by the wall has a cobbled surface that is level with the
top of the wall and measures 5m square. The wall retains the raised ground
level that the cross rests on. The pyramidal base of the cross measures 3m
square by 1m high and is built of rough sandstone blocks. The top of the base
is flagged. The modern sole stone is composed of two ashlar blocks crudely
chamfered at the top and is cemented onto the base. It measures 1.4m square.
The socket stone rests on the sole stone and measures 1m square by 0.6m high.
Its four corners have been chamfered to make it octagonal at its top. These
chamfered corners had projecting carvings of the four evangelists. Only the
carvings on the north west and south east corners remain. Near the base on
each side of the socket stone are two holes measuring 5cm wide by 7cm high,
which are believed to be lewis holes. The socket measures 0.36m square.
The shaft is not the original and is believed to be a reused milestone. It is
cemented into the socket and measures 0.35m by 0.2m wide and 1m high.
The cross, which is Listed Grade II, is believed to be in situ as its present
location is the same as depicted on both the first and second edition 1:2500
Ordnance Survey maps. A cross is known to have existed in the area before the
Battle of Neville's Cross in 1346 to which the surviving cross is attributed.
In 1323 the then Neville's Cross was described as a boundary marker in the
deeds of Durham Priory and believed to have been used as an indicator for the
ancient circular enclosure known as Howlcroft to the south. The present cross
was erected to commemorate the Battle of Neville's Cross, although the only
recognisable surviving element is the socket stone. The cross is described in
the `Rites of Durham' in 1593 as having a seven-stepped base, sole stone,
socket stone, shaft, boss and crucifix. The socket stone had the carved
pictures of the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John on the corners.
The shaft was octagonal and three and a half yards high. The boss was
octagonal. The crucifix had a stone cover and bore the image of Christ on the
cross with Mary on one side and St John the Evangelist on the other. This
cross was knocked down and defaced in 1589. In the mid-18th century the cross
was depicted in a drawing as only the socket stone resting on a heavily
undermined base. A drawing from 1778 shows the socket stone on its mound and
with the inserted milestone.

Although the Edwardian period may in retrospect appear to have been a golden age, it was in reality a time of much turbulence in the political and social fields. There were long and often violent strikes in the docks and coalmines as well as in other less vital industries.

These soaps are all lightly used and are all artisan made, no Proraso etc. An I'm in is all that's required to participate, winners will be picked by random generator and the 1st winner will get 1st choice, 2nd next and so on. All three are great performers that don't get use due to scent preference and or sheer number of soaps hoarded My only request is that you will pass the product on if you find it collecting dust. This will run as long as there are takers, at least a couple weeks. Dive in boys the water is fine!

Paul Ryan (cartoonist)
Paul Ryan (September 23, 1949 – March 7, 2016) was an American comic artist. Ryan worked extensively for Marvel Comics and DC Comics on a number of super-hero comic book titles. He is best known for his 1991 to 1996 run as penciler on Fantastic Four, which represents his longest association with an individual comic book series. From 2005 until his death in 2016, Ryan penciled and inked the daily newspaper comic strip The Phantom for King Features Syndicate.[1]

Early yearsEdit
Paul Ryan was born in Somerville, Massachusetts,[2] in 1949.[3] He attended St. Polycarp Grammar School in Somerville, and graduated from St. Mary of the Annunciation High School in 1967. He graduated from the Massachusetts College of Art[4] in 1971 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Graphic Design.
After graduation Ryan enlisted in the United States National Guard and was assigned to Fort Dix, New Jersey, for Basic Training and AIT (Advanced Individual Training) in automotive mechanics. He later attended Massachusetts Military Academy in Wakefield, Massachusetts, for officer training. Ryan was a member of his National Guard pistol team, studied karate and fencing in his younger days, and at one time took up archery and weight training.[5]
As a young man, Ryan found a job in the Graphics Department of Metcalf & Eddy Engineering in Boston, where he worked for 11 years.
First steps in comicsEdit
According to a 2007 interview, "Ryan began his training [for a career in comic art] as a child, growing up in Somerville. He'd park himself in front of the television each night to watch George Reeves in the Adventures of Superman."[6] Ryan began drawing one-page comic stories in grade school, inspired by his love of comics to create his own.[7] He has said that as a youngster in the Silver Age, he was influenced by the work of Wayne Boring and Curt Swan on Superman.[8] In 1961, Ryan became a big fan of the Fantastic Four of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, having "bought the first issue at the tender age of 11."[9] He has acknowledged that even as a youth he studied the work of Hal Foster, Sy Barry, Dan Barry, and Mac Raboy, adding "I'm pretty much influenced by anybody whose work I admire."[10]
In 1983, in response to a general "open audition" offer from Charlton Comics, Ryan was finally prompted to write and draw his first full-scale comics story, which he titled "BREED". Charlton had recently instituted a program whereby they would publish the best of the work submitted by aspiring comic book artists in Charlton Bullseye. Payment would be in the form of 50 contributor copies of the printed piece. The artist would then have published work to show Marvel Comics or DC Comics in the hopes of landing a job with the "Big Two." Charlton accepted Ryan's story, encouraging him that a career in comics was within reach, but the title was cancelled before "BREED" saw print.
The remaining stories from Bullseye ended up in the hands of Bill Black of Americomics in Florida, and Black published "BREED" in Starmasters #1 (March 1984).[11] This brought Ryan to the attention of comic book stores in the Boston area. When Marvel artist Bob Layton moved to Boston and needed an assistant, the employees at these stores recommended Paul Ryan to Layton. Ryan worked for Layton for a year doing his backgrounds, and through him met the editors and staff at Marvel. Layton is said to have played a vital role in Ryan's development.[12] Ryan said that his only formal training in comics came in that 1983-1984 span, working as Bob Layton's assistant while also preparing his penciling samples for Marvel.[7] By this time Ryan, having taken a circuitous route toward a career in comic art, was in his middle 30s.[13]
At Marvel ComicsEdit
Soon, Ryan was getting assignments of his own, starting with inking The Thing #27 (September 1985)[11] and then moving on to penciling Iron Man #202, Squadron Supreme, The Eternals, and a Thor graphic novel.[13]
In 1986, writer Mark Gruenwald and Ryan co-created D.P. 7 for Marvel's New Universe imprint.[14] The series featured a then-uncommonly realistic view of what consequences could arise from having paranormal abilities. D.P. 7 has been called "a clear forerunner - both in tone and content - of the television series Heroes."[15]
Ryan said that his favorite creative moment in comics was sitting down with Gruenwald and coming up with the look for D.P. 7: "At Mark's direction we 'cast' our characters based on real people. This is something that I still do when confronted with new characters. When given a description of a character by the writer I look through various magazines for just the right look."[7]
Rich Johnston of Bleeding Cool proclaimed D.P. 7 "a wonderful comic book, everything just seemed to gel together perfectly on that series, and on Quasar that followed it, and I was hooked. Paul had a classically clean style."[16]
In 1987 Ryan drew The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21 which featured the wedding of Spider-Man (Peter Parker) and Mary Jane Watson.[17][18] Recalling years later his reaction to being assigned the wedding issue, Ryan admitted, "I was terrified! Excited, but knowing the historic and financial significance of this story for Marvel Comics, I couldn't help but be a little nervous. Considering that I had only been in the business a minute and a half I should never have been given that assignment. Jim Shooter really took a chance with me. He asked. I accepted. He handed me the plot. I hope I didn't disappoint him."[7]
Ryan penciled the first six issues of Quasar in 1989–90,[19] and also worked on a significant run of The Avengers. Recalling Ryan's work on the latter title, writer Jason Versaggi said that Ryan's "draft work seemed to seamlessly transition from the end of John Buscema's stints on those books in the '90s."[7]
Other Marvel highlights included pencils for Avengers West Coast (shortly after inking John Byrne's art on several issues of that title) and Ravage 2099, a character he co-created with Stan Lee.[20] He penciled art for Byrne's scripts on Iron Man for about a year beginning in 1991, including an arc called "The Dragon Seed Saga" which featured the Mandarin. In 1992, concurrent with comic book projects, Ryan took over the penciling on The Amazing Spider-Man Sunday comic strip written by Stan Lee, inked by Joe Sinnott, and distributed by King Features. He drew that feature for just over three years,[13] for what might have been his largest audience of readers.[21]
Of all his work for Marvel, Paul Ryan is most strongly associated with the Fantastic Four for his long run on their flagship title. Ryan said that when he was first offered the art assignment he actually declined, because he was reluctant to give up the Avengers to clear time in his schedule. He continued to think about the opportunity over a weekend, and finally concluded that he couldn't turn down the job of drawing his favorite Marvel title. Partnering with writer Tom DeFalco, and sometimes receiving a co-plotting credit, his first issue was #356 (Sept. 1991) and his last #414 (July 1996). He trailed only Jack Kirby and John Byrne in total number of Fantastic Four issues drawn.[4] His run on Fantastic Four was ended abruptly by the Heroes Reborn event.[13] Ryan recalled that he learned of his losing the F.F. and Jim Lee's taking over the title through the internet, and said, "This whole situation left a bad feeling with me toward Marvel. I was cast adrift after 11 years of loyal exclusivity."[22]
At DC Comics and afterEdit
Shortly after Paul Ryan left Marvel, he moved over to DC Comics where he became the artist on Superman: The Man of Tomorrow and The Flash.[11] That same year, he was one of the many creators who contributed to the Superman: The Wedding Album one-shot wherein the title character married Lois Lane.[23][24] Ryan drew part of the Superman Red/Superman Blue one-shot which launched the storyline of the same name which ran through the various Superman titles.[25] He penciled a Superman Annual and various Batman titles, as well as several fill-in assignments on other Superman titles.[13] With writers Grant Morrison and Mark Millar, Ryan introduced the Jakeem Thunder character in The Flash vol. 2 #134 (Feb. 1998).[26]
Paul Ryan and writer David Michelinie are the only comic book creators to have contributed to the wedding issues of both Spider-Man (Peter Parker marrying Mary Jane Watson in The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21[17][18] and Superman (Clark Kent) marrying Lois Lane in Superman: The Wedding Album.[13][23][24]
"One of the greatest thrills I experienced working in comics was to be allowed to draw Superman," Ryan said about his time at DC. "To me, he was the first, best hero."[7]
He was a contributing artist on the NASCAR/Superman custom comic and on Celebrating the Century, a stamp collecting book which DC produced for the United States Postal Service.
Ryan briefly returned to Marvel in 1999, teaming again with writer Tom DeFalco, this time on the Fantastic Five. The turn of the Millennium found Ryan working with Wildstorm, penciling one of the Left Behind graphic novels, and working with Crossgen as a fill-in artist on such titles as Ruse and Crux. Crossgen's recruitment of Ryan and other notable talent led DC Comics to consider that upstart publisher a significant threat in the comic book market.[16]
Ryan's involvement with The Phantom began when a fan bidding on one of Ryan's eBay auctions in 2001 contacted him, and asked if he had ever considered working for a comics company outside the U.S. This fan had been an intern at Egmont Publishing, which produces The Phantom (Fantomen) comic in Sweden. Ryan told him he was interested, and was given the appropriate contact information. Soon, the publisher had samples from Ryan, and he quickly signed him on to Team Fantomen.[7] Ryan became a regular contributor of covers and finished interior art to Fantomen for the next five years, a job which would position him well for his next major assignment.[13]
The Phantom comic stripEdit
The Phantom comic strip began as a weekday newspaper strip on February 17, 1936, with a color Sunday strip added in May 1939. It was originally written by creator Lee Falk, and when Falk died in 1999, Tony DePaul took over the writing duties. Paul Ryan was one of the several artists who have illustrated the character's comic strip adventures over the decades.
In 2005 then-current artist George Olesen announced his retirement. Jay Kennedy, editor-in-chief at King Features Syndicate, chose Ryan to assume the artist's role on the daily strips, beginning with those published in January of that year (Ryan had been the artist on King's Amazing Spider-Man strip a decade earlier). Then in October 2006 Graham Nolan, artist on The Phantom Sunday Strip, announced his intended departure from the series. Once again Kennedy called upon Ryan, who agreed to add the Sunday strip to his duties for King Features. His first Sunday appeared in newspapers on April 1, 2007. Ryan later wished to cut his workload and on July 31, 2011, Eduardo Barreto took over as artist for the Sunday strip. Following Barreto's sudden death in late 2011, Ryan returned to the Sunday feature briefly until a replacement, Terry Beatty, was found.
One of the many highlights of Ryan's time on The Phantom is the daily adventure that ran from August 24, 2009, until May 7, 2011. Called by DePaul in its entirety "The Death of Diana Palmer Walker", this epic storyline is considered the longest in duration of all The Phantom newspaper plots. The recurring villain of the tale, Chatu, a.k.a. the Python, is a ruthless terrorist who seeks revenge on his nemesis by striking at someone close to the Phantom. Frew Publications, known for publishing a long-running reprint series of The Phantom, presented the entire story as "The Python Strikes Back" in one 140-page comic book (issue number 1602).
DePaul credits Ryan with pitching the basis of another memorable story, "The Challenge", by posing the question, "What if someone challenged Guran for the right to be chief of the Bandar?" The story DePaul developed from that prompt ended with Guran still chief, but acknowledging the worthiness of his challenger, Kipawa, as a possible successor one day.[27]
Rich Johnston praised Ryan for his artwork on The Phantom: "Here it seems he has come into his own, a richer and more luxurious style that is less tempered by the effects of Marvel or DC editorial with a greater influence from Europe."[16]
Ryan's last Phantom strip was released on Saturday, May 28, 2016.
Working methodsEdit
Speaking about his work as a comic book penciler, Ryan described his process: "I read the stories and 'see' what it should look like in my mind, do a thumbnail sketch of the picture in my head and then go to full size drawing paper." Although known primarily for his pencil art for comic books, Ryan said that he preferred to ink his own pencils: "I have worked with some amazing inkers. Some inkers made my work look better than it was. Some other inkers... not so much. When I ink my pencils, the readers get to see what I can do."[7]
On The Phantom, Ryan penciled and inked. When asked how long it takes to produce his daily comic strip, Ryan estimated "four hours to pencil a strip and three hours to ink it in, crafting lighting and shadows."[6] Ryan began with penciling only the line work. "I work out the lighting, shadows and texture in the inking stage. I go in with the brush first and hit all the shadows and large dark areas. This helps define the page. Then I go in with a finer brush or pen to add details, texture or contour lines."[10]
Ryan's art was characterized by a strong story-telling sense, careful attention to design and perspective, and solid knowledge of anatomy—on a strip that he at one time drew for publication 365 days a year. While Ryan kept reference books handy, he gave more credit to observation—and an artist's eye—for his knowledge of human anatomy as well as the structure of the world around us. "Whenever I'm in any situation, I'll constantly try to memorize things. I'll memorize a face, a room, and actually mentally outline everything." He also took particular notice of shadows.[6]
Drawings of the real people in his life, such as family and friends, appeared in his comics. He said that his eye was especially drawn to the character expressed in older faces. "You see so much history in the face. And that's something I try to bring into the work."[6]
Ryan confessed to having run around his neighborhood as a youngster with a makeshift Superman cape tied around his neck ("I got beat up a lot", he joked),[8] and his emotional identification with comic characters continued into his professional years: "I find that while I'm illustrating a story I become so focused that I feel as if I'm [actually] in the story, taking the part of each of the characters as I draw them," Ryan said.[6]
Legacy, personal and professionalEdit
Ryan continued as the artist for The Phantom daily comic strips until his death at the age of 66. He died unexpectedly on March 7, 2016, at his home in Hudson, Massachusetts.[2][21]
Tony DePaul, the writer of The Phantom, collaborated with Ryan on the strip for twelve years. He wrote of his last phone conversation with Ryan, who had called to make sure he interpreted a panel the way DePaul had intended in his script. DePaul lauded the ardent professionalism of his late partner, and stated that "Paul considered it a privilege to work on a classic character created by the great Lee Falk, in 1936. He and I thought exactly alike in that regard."
DePaul also wrote of their shared love for Montana, and of Ryan's love for horses. "Which may be why," DePaul suggested, "he was so good at drawing Hero, the Phantom's trusty mount." DePaul posted photos of Ryan and his wife Linda Ryan enjoying a recent vacation at a ranch in Sweet Grass County, Montana.[28]
DePaul made reference in a 2017 interview to the "magnificent work Paul did for so many years, and for way less money than he was worth"; citing an example of Ryan's best work, DePaul said "Paul's art was especially well done in the 'Voyaging Canoe', night scenes at sea, in the fog, that can't be easy to pull off."[27]
The administrator of The Phantom fan site Chronicle Chamber marked his passing, and reminisced about meeting Ryan at the 2014 Supanova Con in Sydney, Australia, where he was the guest of honor at the Lee Falk Memorial Bengali Explorer's Club dinner: "My overwhelming memory of Paul was just how great a bloke he was. He listened to everyone who wanted to talk to him, he kindly signed all the stuff that was thrown at him and he was incredibly generous and honest in the tales he told about working on The Phantom. The highlight for me was watching Paul create some Phantom artwork live. It was amazing and something I'll never forget."[29]
Writer Larry Hama, Ryan's friend and collaborator at both Marvel and DC Comics, praised him as "an impeccable draftsman, a solid visual storyteller, and really, really nice guy."
Hama continued, "I always knew that a plot I sent him would be drawn with a keen attention to detail, aspects of the story would be improved upon, and my mistakes would be corrected."[30]
Mark Evanier reminisced: "Some years ago, Paul and I were going to collaborate on a new comic book based on a leftover idea of Jack Kirby's. I was disappointed when the project fell through because I'd been looking forward to working with Paul. I knew from seeing his work he could draw well but when we got into discussions, I discovered what a smart, conscientious artist he was — the kind who not only produces fine work but understands what he's doing and why. What a shame to lose a good man like that."[31]
That's Entertainment manager Ken Carson noted the many store events at which Ryan had appeared over the span of twenty years, and reflected on his personality and wit: "He was a meticulous craftsman, but Paul enjoyed friendly banter as he sketched & signed for fans—and he had a mischievous sense of humor! He could say outlandish things with a straight face, but a sparkle in his eye would give him away."[32]
Brendan Burford (King Features general manager, syndication) eulogized the artist: "Paul had an illustrious career in comics that spanned decades, and we at King Features are so pleased that he was able to ply his craft to our beloved PHANTOM. He belongs right alongside the other greats who have drawn the Ghost Who Walks, and he will be missed."
The King Features announcement also included some details of his personal life: "In addition to his love of storytelling through his comics and his real true passion for being a cowboy, Ryan cherished spending time with his family and was fondly referred to as 'Uncle Paul.' His passion in life was his wife, Linda, and the treasured times they shared throughout their 28 years together in marriage."[12]
In the weeks after Ryan's death, Frew Publications declared The Phantom issue number 1748 to be a "Paul Ryan Tribute" issue. This issue was Frew's first comic book to have the interior printed in color. In addition to a full-length adventure drawn by Ryan, the issue contained photographs from his 2014 visit to Australia and several remembrances. Publisher Dudley Hogarth therein attributed the following quote to Ryan: "My heroes have always been men of action. Some of them wore a mask. Some rode a horse. Some had an animal companion. A few carried a gun. Fewer still operated from a secret cave. One hero, in particular, combined all of these elements and more. He was the Phantom! If someone had told me when I was ten years old, that I would one day be the Phantom strip artist, I would not have believed them. Those things happen to other people not to me. Life is good!"[33][34]
Mike Manley was named to succeed Ryan on The Phantom beginning with the strip dated May 30, 2016. Ryan was several weeks ahead on the strip at the time of his death.[35]
Manley wrote, "I met Paul only once that I remember clearly at a con many years back though we rubbed shoulders at Marvel on books like Quasar with me following him on that book when he left to do other books like The Avengers and The Fantastic Four. Paul left us all a great legacy to enjoy and be inspired by for the ages with his art for Marvel and his long run on the Phantom."
Manley also noted that he and Paul Ryan are listed in a small and notable group of artists who have professionally drawn the adventures of both Batman and The Phantom. The others are Jim Aparo, Terry Beatty, Don Newton, Carmine Infantino (as a ghost for Sy Barry), Joe Giella (ghosting for Bob Kane), and Graham Nolan.[36]
