Thoughts on The Craft -- cannegardner

"The most serious problem Goya solved while mixing the paints for his tapestries was hitting upon the right dose of sugar; a dab more and they would have been good only for the tops of boxes of chocolates." -- Oliverio Girondo from "The Scarecrow and other Anomalies"

Again, this goes back to my earlier post on self-censorship versus letting the art speak for itself, sans the sugar coating. Goya, a court painter to the Spanish crown, was a master at sugar coating his sharp, satirical wit. His commissioned work was known for its disinclination to flatter, but he composed these pieces in such a way that any insult was not obvious. The Merry Festival tapestries Girondo speaks of were the portrayals of idyllic aristocratic daily life. He knew who he was painting for as he did much later during his "Black" painting period, where sugar was not the order of the day, and his subversive macabre view of the world was unabashedly laid bare, as seen in the painting: Saturn devouring his Son. Girondo, by comparison, was as equally gifted, and this is from the anti-preface by Karl August Kvitko, publisher of Xenos Books: "Girondo has a wicked penchant for cramming a phrase with multiple meanings: symbolic, satiric, ironic, lyrical,rhapsodic, paradoxical, and the absurd."

Isn't that what art is all about? Sure, we could write a story where every sentence could be taken literally, where the plot might be nothing but manifest destiny, a mere linear historical account. But why would we want to do that? Why, when we can take that very black and white snapshot of humanity and reveal its infinite mysteries, subtle as they might be ... so subtle, that if it weren't for art, they would and could very deliberately escape notice. Did Stoker write just a vampire story? Did deSade write just pornography? Did Kafka just write about a delusion man who thought he was a bug? I think not, and therein lies the measure of a good story: not only does it devour our innocence, but in the process, it restores our faith in it. This, I think, can be said of all art.

On a side note: Girondo self-published "The Scarecrow" in 1932 and sold it while parading through the streets of Buenos Aires in a mortuary coach, shouting his marketing madness through a megaphone. 5000 copies sold out in 15 days. My review of this title is on Amazon.

Girondo sounds like a spiritual ancestor of Crad Kilodney for his admirable DIY spirit. :D

Cheryl Anne Gardner said...

I would agree. Girondo had that spirit, that brilliant eccentricity I love, and his quotes are hilarious, but his writing is beyond classification. His poem "Invitation to Vomit" pretty much says it all. Xenos Books was nice enough to include the original spanish text for all the poetry and stories. Well worth the read.

My brother's favorite xmas song :-):

Slade: Merry Xmas Everyone

Happy Xmas (War is Over)

Late and GREAT John Lennon:

Who's gonna make the gravy now?

Oh praise the Baby Jesus, have a Merry Christmas,
I'm really gonna miss it, all the treasure and the trash
And later in the evening, I can just imagine,
You'll put on Junior Murvin and push the tables back
And you'll dance with Rita, I know you really like her,
Just don't hold her too close, oh brother please don't stab me in the

I didn't mean to say that, it's just my mind it plays up,
Multiplies each matter, turns imagination into fact
You know I love her badly, she's the one to save me,
I'm gonna make some gravy, I'm gonna taste the fat
Tell her that I'm sorry, yeah I love her badly, tell 'em all I'm
And kiss the sleepy children for me
You know one of these days, I'll be making gravy,
I'll be making plenty, I'm gonna pay 'em all back

The borders of fear

“Are you afraid to drive home now?” The graphic artist at the newspaper where I work asked me last night at midnight, when we parted company in Tel Aviv after putting the paper to bed. “Yes,” I told him honestly, “I do hope I get home safely.”

With no traffic jams, the trip from Tel Aviv to Talmon late on a Thursday night is very short, but still the journey is fraught with dangers.

In the parking lot – there are club-goers wending their way to and from the nightclub across the way. Some are tipsy, and I steer clear of them. I am afraid of driving when I’m tired. Afraid of missing my turnoff and heading south to Rishon Letzion instead of east on Route 1 (I’m not the only one, right?), afraid of an accident because of the driver who’s more tired than me, and is zigzagging between the lanes.

At Shilat junction I stop for a hitchhiker, and there’s always the nagging question of what if someone scary gets into my car. But at this time of night most of those waiting are teenagers on their way home from a night on the town or carless young couples returning from weddings. Maybe I shouldn't stop.

I decide to stop, but only to fill up at the petrol station on the way.

Not far from my home I see signs of stone-throwing and the remains of Molotov cocktails that were hurled at passing cars just a quarter of an hour ago. It turns out that stopping to fill up with gas and have a cup of coffee was a brilliant idea.

At home my little girl is waiting for me, crying and in pain. This too can sometimes frighten me terribly. This time I am calm because I realize that it’s just a lingering ear infection. After a long cuddle she goes back to sleep and I finally slip into my own bed. My dreams are also sometimes frightening.

I am fearful by nature. Fears accompany me everywhere. Some are normal and rational, others less so. I let my fears float to the surface, speak about them with my friends, write about them, and most of all, find ways to take action against them. The most important thing when facing fear is not to give in.

The popular Israeli song, “Whoever has a strong belief has no fear" is nonsense. Anyone who has human feelings in his heart has fears. I’m sorry if I sound like a beginner personal coach, but the guiding principle in my life of facing fears is not to let the fear control me.

Sometimes it wins – perhaps that’s how it feels lately, but the truth is that I can chalk up a resounding victory, especially considering the next 24 hours.

It’s Friday night. Ten years have passed since my bridal Shabbat – the religious equivalent of a bachelorette party. If I had let my fears control me, I wouldn’t be living here, and I wouldn’t even have my two little girls. Do you know how terrifying it is to bring children into the world? How much fear there is before each pregnancy? Before each birth? If I had allowed fear to control me I would not have made new friendships, would not have landed a job, would never have bought a house with a frightening mortgage, would never have married. I also wouldn’t be writing here.

“Courage, Fania!” says Yehiel in Shulamit Lapid’s book, Gai Oni, “Courage!” With this one word Yehiel emboldens the young woman who has married him to voice her innermost feelings for the first time, to open up, to come close to him, to be his wife and the mother of his children, to feel something else other than fear.

Russian Duma Considers Legislation to Curb Nationalist Hate Speech

Last week, the Russian Duma heard a first reading of proposed legislation that would increase government monitoring and control over the Internet. The new law is in "...response to the rising number of cyber crimes and, in particular, to curb increasing nationalist hate speech that is resounding across the Russian internet."

Of course, any control over one type of speech has the potential to be used in other areas:
"However, as some critics have pointed out, the text of the law seems to be wider than this: the center is charged with regulate the "development and use of the internet [sic]."

Anton Nosik, a Russian internet expert, argues that this law raises dozens of questions. First, he thinks the creation of a watchdog might lead to the Chinese approach to internet use, in which users are limited access to certain sites."

Obama defends against GOP criticism in testy interview

Obama defends against GOP criticism in testy interview

Washington (CNN) – President Barack Obama’s annual pre-Super Bowl television interview Sunday turned into a showdown with Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, who quizzed the president on the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi, Libya, and the targeting scandal involving the IRS – both topics that Republicans frequently use to criticize Obama.

The live interview, aired during the Fox Broadcast Network’s pregame coverage, kicked off with a question on the botched rollout of the federal health care website and later moved to the Benghazi and IRS questions, which some Republicans say involve administration-led cover-ups. Obama pointed out during the session that multiple congressional hearings on the topics over the past year have failed to turn up anything.

“These kinds of things keep surfacing in part because you and your TV station will promote them,” he said, referring to the Fox News Channel, where O’Reilly hosts a primetime hour.

The administration response to the September 2012 attack at the American diplomatic post in Benghazi - which some conservatives say was botched – was focused on getting Americans to safety, Obama said, noting that information was extremely difficult when the attack was happening. Obama said his Defense Secretary at the time, Leon Panetta, told him there was an attack, but didn't specify whether it was terrorism.

“The fact of the matter is people understood at the time that something dangerous was happening. And we were focused on making sure we were doing everything we could to protect them,” he said.

He later proclaimed there was “not a smidgen of corruption” involved in the IRS targeting case, which sprung up last spring after the agency admitted to applying extra scrutiny to conservative groups applying for tax exempt status. Later, it was revealed the word “progressive” also singled groups out for extra screening.

And when O’Reilly wondered why Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius hadn’t been fired for her role in the HealthCare.gov website, Obama said he was focused instead on trying to make his signature legislative achievement function well.

“When we’re midstream, we want to make sure our focus is how do we make this thing work,” he said.

The interview ended with O’Reilly telling the president he thought “his heart’s in the right place.”

Obama, smiling, said he enjoyed it.

    Obama never answers direct questions! He always "blah, blah, blah" ..That's what he is good at...re: IRS, come on some of these groups STILL have not been approved! And I, for one, will never let people forget how Obama/Hillary/Rice lied to us about Benghazi ==all for political gain! This president will go down in history as the biggest lair - never forget "If you like it you can keep it" or "What difference does it make"

    The big news here is that he has stopped blaming Bush, it is now Fox News. The same person that told is we could keep our plans, doctors and that we would save $2500 with Obozocare is now telling us he could not find any corruption in the IRS harassment of the Tea Party. Thus spake the most corrupt president in the history of this country. Blame the only media outlet that doesn't have its rounded in his ear.

    Bill O'Riley speaks for the 25% of America that watches Fox News and believes what they see and hear while watching. This is the America motivated by fear. They cannot get past the change that is happening in this country; a younger, browner, 'gayer' America is now mainstream; overtaking the gun loving, immigrant fearing, tax hating white minority. The 'biggest lie' is that Fox News and Bill O'Riley represents the 'real America'. That real America went away ten years ago. I'm white, over 50 and I vote.

    Our President did a great job during his interview with Mr. O'Reilly yesterday. Now, it's time for the GOP to "turn on" Mr. O'Reilly (Like they did on Justice Roberts) for saying "You're heart is in the right place", thus acknowledging he is NOT trying to destroy our country like so many Tea Party members insist on spewing. The President conducted himself with his typical class and dealt with the rudeness of O'Reilly with his usual grace and humility!! Best President our country ever elected!! TWICE!!

    So it's ok to be disrespectful to the commander in chief because you don't share the same political views? Shameful, just shameful.
    Republicans are claiming he didn't answer any of the questions – but they secretly know that he did, and did quite well. No amount of hyperbole can cover that up. Obama is a competent, intelligent president that is doing a pretty good job, despite all of the continuous attacks and manufactured scandals.

    America motivated by fear?, best president we have ever had?a president with humility?

    I truly know now way our founders were very afraid of the uneducated voter. Leadership does not come from the hole in the center of ones face speaking soft,sweet nothings but in doing what is needed in a forum one was placed in. This guy obama is the most inept, void of leadership skills, lying as policy, so called leader in my short history of politics.

    His leadership techniques(rules of the radical) defame opposition, distract,blame, throw some candy for the masses and rely on the short memories of the masses.

    Oh for humility this guy has not one humble bone in his body, Anyone using that definition of obama has got no sense of common sense. His lust of power is the principal element in his character.

    I laugh at the short memory that people have of the previous administration, without acknowledging their incompetence, lies, and cronyism, you can't be taken serious with your argument because you are choosing to overlook key facts that come out during the investigations. If Obama is a liar, then what was W? What was HW, and what was Reagan. If you can't remember their lies and how it impacted the country then you are definitely in denial or reality. Just admit, you don't do your own research before you come to a conclusion.

    I tuned in to the pre-game show of the SUPERBOWL only to find that Fox took up MY time with POLITICS!!... Why is that? Why are all of you not outraged at THAT? Did you REALLY want to hear more political posturing? Do you not get enough of it all week long? Fox accomplished exactly what they hoped for? $$'S!!.. Fox, as well as Cnn, and Msnbc are money making machines because they encourage conflict, and bias and drama.. O'reilly makes approx. $17 MILLION a year by getting those of you who buy in to HIS bias all riled up (CNN and MSNBC do the same)... your blogs just proved that.. The fact that " I " am writing this proves that. There is tremendous power in the media to make you REACT to THEIR agenda! Why don't we take back our OWN power to THINK and REASON on our OWN and do more of what I did after seeing just one minute of this crap... CHANGE THE CHANNEL!!

Mr. Oriaku said the committee intends to source for extra N700m to augment the N5.3 b to help offset the arrears owed worker.

He also revealed that the funds have been moved to designated banks for the payment while workers including council staff, pensioners, teachers are expected to start receiving their pay latest by next week.

The commissioner disclosed that some workers including primary and secondary school teachers will receive two months salaries while some MDAs will also get their leave allowances.

Mr. Oriaku, who commended the leadership of the NLC in the state for shelving its planned industrial action, also stated that the state government is in talks with the NUT to suspend its proposed strike.

He however expressed dismay over the discovery of about 130 ghost primary school teachers during the last biometric exercise conducted by the state government, adding that about 300 local government employees were discovered to have entered the service with fake certificate while 3000 staff of the LGA were absent at the biometric exercise.

Things the Tobacco Industry Doesn't Want You to Know

As Big Tobacco attempts to clean up its image, now is a good time to remind you of some facts the industry would like you to forget:

Smoking-related health conditions are a leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for nearly one of every five deaths annually.

Every year, tobacco use kills more Americans than HIV, drug and alcohol abuse, suicides, murders and car accidents combined.

Secondhand smoke accounts for approximately 50,000 deaths in the United States every year.

If tobacco farmers around the globe were to grow food instead, they could feed more than 70 percent of the world's 28 million malnourished people.

In 2012, cigarette companies spent nearly $27 million lobbying government agencies and members of Congress.

Big Tobacco companies market covertly to teens, despite publicly stating that youth should not smoke.

Each year, the industry spends more than $400 per customer on special promotions, coupons, mailers and other direct marketing efforts to make sure current smokers don't kick their addictions.

Now, companies are pushing expensive and unregulated e-cigarettes. What's more, e-cigarettes are offered in a variety of flavors that young children and teens could find especially appealing, like cherry, grape, vanilla and strawberry.

The health effects of e-cigarettes are still unknown. Medical associations and regulatory bodies are concerned that e-cigarettes are nothing more than a "gateway" to a nicotine addiction.

St Paul, Minnesota, February 1, 2012 – PolyMet Mining Corp. (TSX: POM; NYSE-A: PLM) (PolyMet or the Company) today reported continued progress toward completion of the environmental review of its NorthMet Project. PolyMet controls 100% of the development-stage NorthMet copper-nickel-precious metals ore-body and the nearby Erie Plant, located near Hoyt Lakes in the established mining district of the Mesabi Iron Range in northeastern Minnesota.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (“DNR”) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“USACE”) published a draft Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) on the project in November 2009. Since then, several critical tasks have been completed, including:

Evaluation of all comments on the draft EIS, including extensive comments by the US Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”)

Incorporation of the proposed land exchange with the US Forest Service (“USFS”) into the project EIS process, with the USFS joining the DNR and USACE as a Co-Lead Agency.

EPA participation in the review process as a Cooperating Agency

Changes to the project to reduce its impact on the environment and enhance the economics

A supplemental draft EIS (“SDEIS”) will describe in detail the project that PolyMet plans to build, analyze the environmental impacts, and demonstrate that the project complies with all current, relevant state and federal environmental standards.

The agencies are guiding an extremely rigorous environmental review process, and we are committed to working with them to provide the hard data they need to make decisions both for the EIS and for subsequent permitting, said Brad Moore, PolyMet’s Executive Vice President of Governmental and Environmental Affairs.

Mr. Moore continued, “We believe the level of detailed engineering being incorporated into the SDEIS will provide a clear and thorough analysis of the project and its potential impact on the environment, as well as supporting completion of project permitting.”

EIS Status Update

ERM, the Lead Agencies’ environmental consultant, has completed a significant amount of work on the SDEIS, which will comprise nine chapters. The first four chapters, comprising over 400 pages and including more than 100 figures, have been drafted and are being reviewed by the Lead Agencies.

Other important milestones already achieved include:

Approval of air emission estimates.

Approval of cumulative visibility, acid deposition, and fiber impact evaluation reports.

Completion of geotechnical stability modeling with results now under review.

Completion of direct wetland impact evaluation and wetland mitigation plans, which are now under review.

Completion of hazardous materials assessment; threatened, endangered and sensitive species analysis; assessments of wildlife and heritage resources; and wetland/floodplain analysis reports for the lands involved in the land exchange, which have been delivered to the USFS for review.

Delivery by PolyMet of updated project documents including the detailed project description, mine plan, reclamation and waste disposal plans, and extensive data packages.

As SDEIS preparation moves into the final stages, the Lead Agencies have completed a detailed assessment of tasks outstanding and the timeline. The key task is completion of detailed environmental modeling, including quality assurance plans as well as generation, verification, review, and documentation of modeling data.

The Lead Agencies expect that all aspects of modeling will be completed in the spring of 2012, with the preliminary SDEIS available for review by the Cooperating Agencies during the summer, and public review and comment in the fall of 2012.

Frank Sims, Co-Chairman of the Board of PolyMet observed, “Completion of the environmental review is a complex process. While the timeline has been challenging, we are encouraged by the commitment of the Agencies to produce a strong EIS and have growing confidence about the path to completion.”

Ludacris Will Perform ‘Dirt Road Anthem’ at the CMT Awards With Jason Aldean

Ludacris Jason Aldean
Bryan Bedder / Jason Merritt, Getty Images

Forget Rihanna and Jennifer Nettles. As unlikely musical couples go, it doesn’t get much stranger than country singer Jason Aldean and rapper Ludacris, who will team up for a performance at tonight’s CMT Music Awards.

Ryan Seacrest broke the news that Ludacris re-wrote a verse of Aldean’s last single, ‘Dirt Road Anthem.’ The song features spoken-word, country-rap verses, so maybe adding Luda isn’t such a stretch. Can the Atlanta rapper relate to Aldean’s tune about “chillin’ on a dirt road” in the rural south? We’ll find out in a few hours.

Aldean has had a huge run of success over the last few years on the country charts, including a No. 1 duet with Kelly Clarkson, ‘Don’t You Wanna Stay.’ He leads the pack with four nominations tonight.

The fan-voted CMT Music Awards have shown a willingness to be a little more edgy than the traditional country music award shows, so their invitation to Ludacris might actually make perfect sense. Kid Rock hosts the bash tonight on CMT.

Listen to Ryan Seacrest Announce the Ludacris-Jason Aldean Pairing

That’s right, it’s (a little past, I know) time for Confessions of a Comics Shop Junkie, in which I opine on various recently released publications of the sequential graphic nature, some of which may be sitting on the rack at a comics shop, or awaiting the click of a button on some online merchant’s web page, near you. If you’re lucky. Or not, as the case may be.

Writer/Artist: James Turner
Slave Labor Graphics, $14.95

I tried, but couldn’t get with Turner’s previous higher-profile gig, Rex Libris. It was simply too joylessly text-heavy, which made it come across as leaden and dull despite some often-clever visuals. As a result, I’ve mostly ignored his work until the fine folks at SLG sent me this engaging little cartoon space-opera of a graphic novel. On one of Jupiter’s moons (guess which one) the Emperor Zoz decides it’s time to retire after a thousand years, so he turns it over to his slacker son Zing, who doesn’t want the position- he only wants to play in his rock band, chew jub jub root, play video games and hang out with his girlfriend Moxy. However, destiny calls, and at Moxy’s urging, he enacts wide-sweeping social reforms and changes (sound familar?), which pisses off the military part of Io’s government, and provokes its leader Grymak to get him ousted for office, framed for crimes, and pursued by the full contingent of the Ionan forces. What follows is pretty much your basic Nicktoon-style chase story, with one complication after the other befalling our beleaguered hero as he seeks to survive and/or clear his name, whichever comes first. And in the best Bill Cosby  Fat Albert tradition, he learns stuff too. Not the most startlingly original premise out there, true, but the execution is what makes the difference. Turner crafts a nonstop lighthearted action story in the spirit of Warner Bros cartoons, or even such Cartoon Network fare as Fairly Oddparents or Dexter’s Laboratory, (Zing himself reminds me a lot of the Great Gazoo) full of clever vector visuals (Turner gets his money’s worth from Adobe Illustrator, for sure) and imaginative character design, and displays a cheerful sense of fun with a myriad of alien creatures and made-up slang and dialects for each. One thing, I think, that caused me to like Turner’s art here more than I did with Rex Libris was that he uses gradations to give his figures a depth and a pleasing three-dimensionality that its predecessor lacked. However, the black-and-white format isn’t kind- often, detail gets lost in all the stuff he crams into almost every panel. A little more tonal diversity might have helped, or perhaps it’s the digest-size format that causes some of the smaller things to get lost on the page. Regardless, this is an overall enjoyable romp from start to finish, and if it seems to be done with one eye on the small-or large screen,well, it doesn’t suffer as a reading experience because of it.

Script/Art: Tim Hensley
Fantagraphics Books; $18.99

Richie Rich by way of Archie by way of Tippy Teen by way of, oh, I don’t know- The Grifters meets Tao Te Ching and airing at 10:30 CST on Adult Swim; very very Clowes/Kupperman-influenced surreal absurdity. Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung up about, if you will. Sure, it’s parody, but it lacks the wry humor that satirist like Kurtzman would have brought; it’s dry and sarcastic, with no real purpose except to demonstrate what a clever fellow its creator is. And yet, it is intermittently funny, even when abruptly giving us incest jokes, or namedropping has-been 80’s popstars. The characters babble nonsense, but include just enough signifying words to advance the boy-pursues-girl storyline to its typically absurd ending. True, it does have scattered laughs, especially if you appreciate cleverly crafted nonsense, but it seems to skewer a target that really hasn’t called for skewering in decades. Still, it’s easy to admire its all-over-the-place, random ingenuity (the onomatopoeia is often inspired, and there’s even a jarring Kirby-style collage at one point). Me, I find myself running out of patience with this sort of thing sooner and sooner these days, but others may find this brilliant and hilarious. You’ll know fairly early on, believe me.

Writer: Blake Bell
Fantagraphics Books (September 22, 2010), $39.99

Can’t say for sure when I first saw the art and storytelling of Bill Everett; I figure it was in an issue of some Marvel reprint collection, which had the epic Golden Age Torch vs. the Sub-Mariner two-parter. After that, most likely a Marvel Boy reprint in Marvel Tales, or a reprint of the first issue of Daredevil somewhere. Then, around 1972 or so, I became intrigued by the cover of Marvel’s Sub-Mariner #52, which featured the X-Men character Sunfire…and I loved any of the creations Roy Thomas and Neal Adams gave us in their too-short run on that book in the late 60’s. So I picked it up, and had no idea that Everett drew the story- it had a Gil Kane cover. After looking through it, I was pleased to see that Everett was drawing Subby a little more on-model (aka Gene Colan style, it was a bone of contention at the time, as I recall) than he did in the Golden Age- at first. After a while, and I did re-read that comic several times, and the next one, the finale of the two-parter- after a while, I noticed that this Everett fella was an amazing artist. I loved his smooth ink line (well, 12-year-old me did, and I didn’t quite know the jargon but I knew what I liked), good looking, expressive figure drawings, and detailed, busy panels. Fell in love with his Namorita character, which he created for his comeback. His action scenes just sang, and after that, I couldn’t wait for the next issue. Problem was, Everett only did 10 pages of that one. A young artist named Alan Weiss, whose style did have its charms but was no Everett, finished it, and a Golden Age Subby reprint rounded out the book. Bill was back for the next issue, then another fill-in, and then, just when I was ready to give up in frustration, he returned with a vengeance in #57, in which he brought back Venus, a character whom he illustrated (very well) back in the Atlas days. I had seen a reprint of one of here stories somewhere before- a truly weird tale of living gargoyles that took the 13th floor of an office building hostage, one of my all-time favorite comics stories. It was non-stop great art and a fast-paced, enjoyable story. And, as it turned out, a bit of a swan song- although he did contribute scripting, plots, pencils and inks to subsequent issues, none were complete and were heavily redrawn and reworked by lesser artists. I hung in there until finally, in #65, I saw a one page tribute that informed us that Everett had passed on. It was sad, but it explained a lot about what had been going on with the book, and I filed it away in my mental cabinet, remaining on the lookout for Everett’s splendid work wherever I could find it. In recent years, Everett’s work and legacy has become a bit forgotten with the average fan; he didn’t work for EC or DC, his other Marvel work in the early-mid 60’s was hit-and-miss, and he hasn’t been the subject of a lot of tributes. Until now.

As he did with Steve Ditko in the excellent Strange and Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko, Blake Bell has done his due diligence in gathering information, giving us a portrait of a talented man (a descendant of William Blake, for chrissakes) who was often his own worst enemy. He had his first drink at age 12, in Arizona recuperating from TB; his heavy drinking and smoking would eventually become a major problem in his later life. Everett’s story mirrors, in its way, the history of comics itself; in on the beginnings via working for Martin Goodman, on through his creation and heyday doing the Sub-Mariner for Goodman’s Timely Comics company; scuffling for work in the wake of the post-war decline of the superhero comic, doing tons of weird mystery stories for the former Timely-now-Atlas imprint (including Venus); eventually coming back to the now-Stan Lee helmed company, now named Marvel, but finding himself unable to maintain anything like a normal level of productivity due to his lifestyle catching up with him. By the early-mid 70’s, about the time I discovered his work, he got sober with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous, but it was too late; he had a heart attack soon after and died on the operating table during bypass surgery. Bell does an excellent job in filling in the between-the-lines stuff; having access to people close to the artist such as his daughter Wendy and many of his surviving collaborators adds a lot. It’s sad to read the accounts of his struggles with his various demons, and how Stan Lee and Roy Thomas kept trying to do the right thing by him, even though his work and habits became erratic and unreliable. He’s also selected an outstanding collection of art; many, many covers, pencil sketches, pages from stories both published and un-published, heartwarming postcards that show a more playful and cartoonish side to his work, sent to friends and family…make his a good-looking book as well as a good reading one. I kinda wish Blake had included more Venus, but hey, I’m a fan, what can I say. A page from #16 or that issue’s cover would have been nice, that’s all I’m sayin’. Lucky for you, you can check it out here!

Now, I have to qualify all this praise  a bit by saying that my knowledge of Bill’s career is far from comprehensive; I’m sure there are many, many historians out there who know a lot more than I do, and I’ll bet many of them are sharpening their knives to carve this up, like some did for Strange and Stranger. All I can say is that this is a wonderfully informative read from where I’m sitting. Fire and Water is a long-overdue chance for today’s readers to get a good idea of what made Everett so special and so revered by older fans.

Report created on Mon Mar 27 06:30:16 2017. back to main menu

Enter a new maintainer (partial match is OK) to get information about their FreeBSD ports:

For explanatory information and summary details, see the notes below.

portname maintainer build error logs Problem Reports Responsible
ports shown: 1   ports with build errors: 0 ports with outstanding PRs: 0
ports with either build errors or PRs: 0

Clicking on each column heading will cause the report to be redone sorted by that column. Clicking again will reverse the sort.

The portname column includes links to a more complete overview for that port.

The maintainer column includes links to a page showing the status of all ports for that maintainer.

The build error logs column represents the list of unique errors noticed in any build environment (if any). The errors are listed alphabetically. Each entry is a link to a particular errorlog. (In cases where the same error occurs in multiple build environments, the latest errorlog is used.)

The list of build errors that are detected, and a short description of each one, can be found here.

The PRs (if any) for the given port are listed numerically in the Problem Reports column. Thus, for each port, they should also be in order from earliest to latest.

Currently, no effort is made to correlate any individual build error with any individual PR. They are listed in adjacent columns only for your viewing convenience.

The underlying technology of this report relies on trying to extract information from the existing PR database entries. These entries are entered by human users using the send-pr command. As such, the quality of the entries varies greatly.

The fastest, and easiest, information is gleaned from a PR entry whose subject line contains the port category and port name, separated by a slash. However, if this algorithm only flagged those, it would miss nearly 50% of the ports PRs, not to mention all the 'framework' PRs.

So, as an extension, various heuristics are used to guess what it is the user really intended. See the code in for the gory details. What's important to understand is this: there is no possible algorithm that will correctly identify all the ambiguous PRs without getting a few false identifications and still run in less than geological time. So, before you are tempted to file a PR on this algorithm itself, read the code to understand its design tradeoffs, and then consider instead filing followup PRs to the ambiguous PRs that would disambiguate them instead. Thanks -- the author.

Happy New Year, Lani. I sense this is a time for hope and dreams too.

I am still wondering how our generation got us into this mess ... we were educated, liberated and internationalists. We had wonderful aspirations for education and our children. We had an ecological vision too about Mother Earth.

Yet we allowed people to act in our name who had quite different values.

Happy New Year to you, Keith--

Perhaps with renewed hope and action, our dreams and visions of a better world will now begin to be realized--

Delhi Government, which has been accused of not effectively dealing with the situation, said it was mulling bringing an ordinance to punish private hospitals refusing to provide treatment to patients in emergency situations.
Little Neha died yesterday at the Saket City hospital and her distraught parents alleged that one government hospital and a private nursing home in South Delhi did not provide proper treatment for dengue to her.
Neha, a resident of Sangam Vihar area, is the third child to die of dengue in the city allegedly due to medical negligence.
As hospitals continued to be flooded with dengue patients, municipal officials said the total number of cases crossed the 2,000-mark this year out of which around 1200 were reported in the last two weeks.
Officials said the new Ordinance may have provisions for cancellation of registration of hospitals violating government's directive.
Yesterday, Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain had directed private hospitals to increase their bed capacity by 10-20 per cent as soon as possible to treat dengue patients. He had also ordered Delhi government-run hospitals to increase beds by 1,000 by Sunday.
As dengue cases continued to surge, the Aam Aadmi Party said it will set up "fever clinics" across Delhi to offer free treatment to the patients. The ruling party accused the BJP- ruled civic bodies of "total failure" in containing spread of the vector-borne disease.

New Delhi: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's dismissal of a question on speculation that he would pitch to be prime minister was no reflection on whether or not he would take the job, the party said on Thursday.

"When he said that he is not attaching much importance to who is going to be the prime minister, that does not mean that he is not going to be the prime minister or that he is going to be the prime minister," party spokesperson PC Chacko told reporters here.

Addressing a Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) event on Thursday morning, Gandhi denied he was in the race to be the prime minister. Rubbishing unending speculation that he might pitch for the prime ministerial job, Gandhi said: "It's an irrelevant question. It's all smoke."

Reacting to it Chacko said, "This is not the first time he is saying this. He said this in Jaipur. He said this on many occasions. Today we are measuring politics with certain old parameters like who is going to be the minister and who is going to be the prime minister alone.”

Chacko added that Gandhi's philosophy was for empowering the poor."His concept of politics is empowering people. For this, the organisational structure, the style of politics all need to be changed. That basic change is what he has explained today,"  Chacko said, commenting on the address.

"He is preparing the party for the future. It is a long process. As a party functionary, that was his job. He was in-charge of the Youth Congress, in-charge of the students all over the country," added Chacko.

Srinagar: An independent MLA has submitted a resolution in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly seeking handing over the control of Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) to Kashmiri Pandits.

The resolution is likely to be taken up for discussion during the forthcoming Autumn Session of the state Assembly, scheduled to start from October 1.

"Non local members of the SASB do not have any idea of the cultural, geographical and regional sensitiveness of the state, which often makes Amarnath Yatra controversial," said Sheikh Abdul Rashid, MLA from Langate constituency in the resolution.

Keeping in view the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, it is the need of hour to hand over the control of the SASB to local Kashmiri Pandits, which will give them a sense of belonging and self-confidence, the legislator said.

The resolution also called for handing over the control of the Muslim Wakaf Board to eminent members from the Muslim community in the Valley.

Rashid said the Wakaf Board should be made an apolitical institution as it does not belong to any political party or family or any individual.

"The move will help in ensuring that resources and assets of Wakaf Board belonging to Muslim community are utilised in a transparent way for the betterment of community," he said.

Rashid said that he has submitted another resolution seeking withdrawal of all FIRs registered against Kashmiri youths who were allegedly involved in stone-pelting incidents since 2008 Amarnath land row agitation.

Double Barreled Watering

Several years ago I started growing potatoes on the hill above our cabin. There wasn't much soil up there, but over the years thanks to composting and carrying some peat and manure up the hill, I've built up a nice little plot. A big drawback, however, is that it's a long ways above lake level and water in buckets is VERY heavy. Even though we got lots of rain in the spring, summer can get pretty dry.

Soon after starting my hillside garden, my good friend John designed a water barrel and rain catchment system. Because of the hilly location, he could install the system higher on the hill and gravity would feed a hose for easy (if a bit low in pressure and slow) watering.

A heavy duty plastic tarp is suspended between three trees. A 2X4 angles the tarp towards a large funnel into the top hole of a 55 gallon plastic barrel. It has remained in place through many wind storms over the last three years. Then this last month, John upgraded my system by adding a second storage barrel.

The two barrels are connected by a hose at the bottom (click the picture to the left for a better view). As the first barrel fills, the second barrel follows suit. This was a fairly easy expansion. The hose attachment to the first barrel didn't even have to be altered. Just as the water level rises equally between both barrels, the outflow draws equally between them. Now when it gets dry this summer I'll have twice the watering power with my "double barreled" watering system. Thanks so much John. -- Margy

  1. John is so clever, great idea.

  2. Good job on the rain barrels and collectors--I was reading in High Country News about southwest residents (Arizona?) getting arrested for collecting rain water from their roofs--seems ag users are zealous about their water rights.

Did some dishes, made a half a pot of coffee, took P for a walk, thinking about cookery, how astonishingly much I can get done when I feel like it. Should probably try harder to maximize time spent in situations that make me feel like it, there's a lot to be done. Anyway, plans, projects, working on it, calculating, that's me, work out all the angles, then strike.

Sky empty of everything but half moon and remarkable gradients, going to have a cup of joe, then walk around town by myself for a while.

As a college student, the most annoying part of the beginning of the semester is buying books. They're too expensive to buy from our college bookstore, and if you buy them used from Amazon you never know what condition you'll get them in. That's where renting online comes in--specifically, renting from

Campus Book Rentals is an easy-to-use site that I just discovered. It's simple: type in the textbook's title, author, ISBN or a keyword and the textbook you need will pop up, along with the rental information.

For instance, I typed in the organic chemistry textbook I used last year, Organic Chemistry by Wade, Leroy G., Jr. and came to this screen:

After finding the book you need, simply check out and you'll receive your textbook in a matter of days. There's a 30 day guarantee, which is nice--if you drop the class or find out that you don't need the book anymore, you can return it and receive 100% of your money back. Here's a video explaining how the renting process works. I'll explain it more below as well:

Once you receive your textbook, you can use if for your class and even highlight in it! Then, when the due date rolls around, send it back free of charge in the included return envelope. That's it, you're done! So easy, right?

Something that makes Campus Book Rentals different than other rental book companies out there is that every year they choose a different organization and cause to donate some of their proceeds to (you can find more information on their "making a difference" page). This year they're contributing to Operation Smile, which is such a great cause. Last year they were committed to providing the funds for 1,000 cleft lip surgeries for children. This year they want to beat that number, and your purchases through Campus Book Rentals will help them achieve their goal!

Bookmark Campus Book Rentals for next semester or go check them out now. I know that I'll definitely be renting my textbooks from the site next semester!

Health insurance exchange, MNsure, moves ahead

When Management and Budget Commissioner Jim Schowalter flicked the cloth off a placard bearing the name MNsure, April Todd-Malmlov stood at one side.

She had earned a spot.

“It would have been great to have had it sooner,” said Todd-Malmlov, MNsure executive director, of the state insurance exchange being signed into law. “But it was great to have it,” she said.

Todd-Malmlov, along with the bill authors, was a main character in the speed run the historic exchange legislation took through the State Capitol earlier this session. Other than for a hearing or two when in Washington, Todd-Malmlov, 36, of St. Paul, appeared at nearly all of the 18 hearings for Minnesota’s alternative to a federally run insurance exchange that it cleared before being signed into law by Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton.

The pace, set by the federal government, doesn’t slacken. A summertime media blitz — social media, TV, radio, billboards, State Fair — is planned to educate the public about MNsure, a focus-group tooled name given the exchange.

The exchange board is expected to be appointed by the governor by the end of the month. Rule making is taking place, and qualifications are being set for the brokers and navigators who will guide the public to the best insurance options. Enrollment begins Oct. 1; coverage begins Jan. 1, 2014.

One of the fixed points in the process is the executive director.

Todd-Malmlov, who holds a master’s in public health from the University of Minnesota, was at the Minnesota Health Department when Massachusetts created its insurance exchange. Former Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty became interested in exchanges, and she was involved in the unsuccessful attempt at moving legislation through the Legislature.

Leaving state government, Todd-Malmlov, with UnitedHealth Group, continued a focus on insurance exchanges, working with officials from a variety of states interested in insurance exchanges.

“I was well over a year working from that side, knee deep in the weeds as the (Affordable Care Act) legislation was playing out at the federal level,” she said.

An economist, Todd-Malmlov eventually returned to the Minnesota Department of Health, her first day back testifying for two hours at a triple-committee legislative hearing on Obamacare.

Shortly after Dayton took office, she stepped into her executive role. She leads an office operating not with microscopes but under one.

Republican exchange opponents blasted the exchange legislation as creating an all-powerful, self-financing board operating outside of legislative constraint. Todd-Malmlov, who expects sharp media and public scrutiny, sees things differently.

“From the very beginning we’ve had a lot of oversight, a lot of scrutiny, from a variety of different places,” she said.

All exchange contracts, reports, reviews are available on its website. There’s an ongoing commitment to transparency, she said.

“We are probably the state with the most oversight compared to other states,” Todd-Malmlov said.

But exactly what is the entity she helps to lead?

“We are not an insurance company. We are not going to have people’s personal medical information. We are not going to be setting rates or anything like an insurance company,” she said.

“What we are doing is facilitate the purchase of insurance and helping people get the information and financial assistance to enroll in the best plan for them,” Todd-Malmlov said.

Under so-called Obamacare, starting Jan. 1, U.S. citizens and legal residents must obtain health insurance coverage. Not having coverage could result in escalating penalties, the penalty next year being the greater of $95 per adult or one percent of taxable income, according to the exchange. More than a million Minnesotans, most of whom are already enrolled in government health care, are expected to use MNsure.

Although portrayed as a virtual online marketplace, which it is, a more accurate picture of MNsure is one of a business, Todd-Malmlov said. Yes, there’s the Internet, but there will also be a call center and possibly offices for insurance-seekers to stop by for assistance.

The “boots on the ground” will be the brokers and navigators working on a community-based level to assistance the public. Some navigators may be members of nonprofits, already engaged in assisting the public. These will not be regular MNsure employees, but contract for services.

“At this point it’s hard to determine exactly how many there will be,” Todd-Malmlov said.

When fully ramped up, the exchange will have a budget of about $60 million a year.

Todd-Malmlov argues the state acted wisely in forming its own exchange rather than accepting a federal exchange.

“If we would have went with the federal exchange, that would have cost us much more,” she said.

The feds would charge at least a 3.5 percent fee on insurance premiums sold through the exchange, while MNsure can charge up to 3.5 percent. Projections suggest MNsure will stay well under that mark, Todd-Malmlov said.

Additionally, there’s the simple comfort and assurance in dealing with fellow Minnesotans.

“Instead of having people have to call a 202 (area code) number in Washington,” she said.

While the political landscape, with Democratic control of the State Capitol, favored passage of insurance exchange legislation, nothing was assured.

“There’s always something in the back of your mind — is this going to pass? Is this not going to pass?” Todd-Malmlov said. “We have a lot of great people who came to work for us during a time of pretty great risk. We didn’t have legislation.”

It was a relief to have that done, she said.

"Rockville, CA"...Good Idea?

Publish date:
Social count:

I'm not quite sure. Tons of cool independent bands have joined the lineup for O.C. creator Josh Schwartz's new WBÂ  internet-only soap, "Rockville, CA," to be the house band for an episode at the show's titular "venue." Bands like:

The Little Ones, Phantom Planet, The Republic Tigers, White Lies, Lykke Li, The Duke Spirit, Kaiser Chiefs, Travis, Frightened Rabbit, The Kooks, Passion Pit, The Broken West, and Bishop Allen.

The web show's description: Club Rockville is a place where a group of twentysomethings from diverse backgrounds gather regularly to hear their favorite up-and-coming bands, blow off steam, fall in love with the wrong people, and then talk about how they've fallen in love with the wrong people. The series not only explores characters' interactions with one another, but also the way in which they relate to music and to Club Rockville itself.

The series looks incredibly corny judging from the promo...but since it's just an online series, and since the band lineup is so impressive, I'm coming around to the idea. Besides, cheesy teen soaps are fun. My question is whether we will be seeing new, live performances or just the bands singing to prerecorded tracks.

In the News Roundup:

Investigating Breast Cancer:
The Next Wave of Research

Rebecca Cleveland, PhD

Before Rebecca Cleveland, Ph.D., became a Marilyn Gentry Fellow in Nutrition and Cancer, she was one of the epidemiologists adding to a growing body of evidence linking breast cancer and obesity. Now in her second year as a fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Dr. Cleveland’s cutting-edge research is helping us understand the role of obesity and related risk factors in breast cancer prevention and survival.

Q: You’ve worked in this area throughout your masters and post-doc. How did you become interested in this field?

A: I started out doing genetic work when I was a grad student, looking at genes related to weight and I was working with breast cancer. I have always been interested in obesity and physical activity as risk factors. My body of work has mostly been in breast cancer and obesity and related pathways.

Q: How has the fellowship helped your research?

A: It’s a tremendous opportunity to come into an assistant professorship and have funding like this. I have some protected time to develop my research interests, generate data, and write grants. Also, having weekly meetings with Dr. Stevens [June Stevens, Ph.D., is UNC’s chair of the Department of Nutrition and Dr. Cleveland’s mentor] – she’s an expert in obesity research – helped me refine my interests in this field. I have done a lot of work on genetic variation in genes with other hormones. Dr. Stevens helped me tie all these things together and take my research one step further in a logical direction, looking at diabetes and how these factors fit in together.

A: We are about to start work on a newly-funded study looking at how diabetes and related factors are associated with breast cancer. I am looking at genes related to insulin-resistance and estrogen, along with insulin-like growth factor 1 and other risk factors.

We are also going to see if breast cancer outcomes are worse for women who have diabetes and/or these risk factors.

Q: How did you decide what genes and other risk factors to study?

A: I had done a lot of background research to find genes associated with breast cancer and obesity and diabetes as well. Our hypothesis is that diabetes is associated with breast cancer risk and reduced survival and that many of the genes associated with hyperinsulinemia [high levels of insulin] are also associated with breast cancer.

Premenopausal Women: BMI and life expectancy
Cleveland, et al. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. Sept. 2007.
(link to larger image)

Q: You were the lead author in a study that looked at the effect of weight gain on breast cancer survival. What did you find?

A: In the study we looked at pre-diagnostic obesity and weight gain over the lifetime.External link We followed about 1,500 breast cancer patients. We found that women who were obese at diagnosis, both pre- and postmenopausal breast cancer, had a greater risk of dying from breast cancer overall. For premenopausal women it didn’t seem to make any difference the time period they gained weight, whereas for postmenopausal women it made a difference. When the women gained weight after age 50 they had a two- to three-fold risk of dying. It could be because there are a lot of hormonal changes going on during this time since this is when most women are going through menopause.This is just one example of the cutting-edge research made possible by your generous support of AICR. Help us advance our vital research mission with a donation today.

Q: How do you see your work making a difference?

A: It’s very satisfying when you can do these studies that have actual clinical impact. The study I did looking at weight gain over the lifetime, now physicians can take this information and put it to use to give patients advice. We’re living in a time right now when obesity is having such an impact on our health and lives. We need to clarify what’s going on: We know this is a problem, but now we need to know why.

News Roundup

Breast Cancer Prevention: Sleep on It

The pineal gland produces meletonin.Night owls, take note. Women who don’t get more than six hours of sleep may be at increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer, according to new research published in the June issue of CarcinogenesisExternal link . The study looked at the reported sleep patterns of approximately 33,000 Chinese women. After tracking the women for up to 11 years, the study found that postmenopausal women who slept nine hours or more had a 33 percent lower risk of breast cancer than those who dozed six or fewer hours. The culprit may be melatonin, a hormone the body naturally produces at night. One theory gaining strength is that lack of sleep disrupts the production of melatonin, which in turn may affect estrogen signaling. This study adds support to the theory: The 9+ sleepers had 42 percent higher levels of melatonin compared to the women who slept less than six hours.

Broccoli for Prostate Cancer Protection

Cancer researchers have long praised the benefits of broccoli. Many laboratory studies have provided clues as to why diets rich in cruciferous vegetables – such as broccoli – may reduce the risk of prostate cancer, along with other cancer types. Now, a study published in PLoS ONEExternal link that looked at humans has shown one possible explanation. The study split men into two groups: 13 men added 400 grams of broccoli per week to their meals and 8 men included the same amount of peas in their diet. After six months and one year, researchers measured the expression of prostate related-genes in the men’s prostate tissue. Compared to the pea eaters, the broccoli eaters showed significantly more changes in the expression of genes linked with prostate cancer protection. The major difference was found in men who have the GSTM1 gene, which is carried in about half the population. The scientists showed that the broccoli compound called sulforaphane is involved in changes that may be responsible. The results suggest that even eating small amounts of broccoli may lead to changes in the cell signaling pathway, which can effect gene expression.

Head, Neck Resistance for Survivorsdrawing of human head and neck musclature

For head and neck cancer survivors, shoulder pain and disability are frequent complications. Some steady and incremental resistance exercise may help, according to a Canadian study published in this month’s CancerExternal link . The study randomly assigned 52 head and neck cancer survivors to one of two exercise groups: the standard therapeutic protocol or a resistance exercise therapy that got progressively harder. Exercises in the standard therapy included stretching, light weights, and strength exercise focusing on specific muscle groups. The exercises in the experimental group were similar except for the strength training. In the experimental group, the strength exercises were tailored to individual survivors depending upon their starting ability. Slowly and progressively, the survivors lifted heavier weights targeted for specific muscle groups. All the patients were supervised. At the end of 12 weeks, the survivors in the progressive exercise group reported less pain and disability than survivors in the standard exercise group. The progressive group also showed better muscle strength and endurance. The results strengthen the hypothesis that improved muscle strength and endurance can lessen pain.

Halloween Hairdos: Spider Rings

If your house is like our house, we always end up with a million little plastic spider rings after Halloween.
 We found this bag of spiders, bats and skulls and decided to try and put them to use.
Basically you will be decorating Puffy Braids with the rings by cutting a slit in the bottom of the ring and then wrapping it over the elastic on the Puffy Braid.
We started our Puffy Braid with a Zig-Zag Part.
Then just create a new section of the Puffy Braid every time the part hits a point.
 Once your Puffy Braid is completed and all of the hair has been added in, you can decorate it with your rings in any pattern you like.
You can also do it according to theme if you like:
We also added some cute little bows to the bottom of the ponytails.
The ribbons in the bows matched the rings perfectly which was just a lucky coincidence.

Jill said...

Maaaan, I saw that pkg of rings at the dollar store and didn't buy it. Now I have to go back to the store :) BTW, I used your dancing skeletons idea yesterday, and it turned out so cute!

Beth @ Sand To Pearl said...

Goodness, you've got such an eye for this, finding random things and making them so awesome. Thanks!

amber.hope said...

I did something very similar! I cut the ring part off of the spider rings and hot glued the spider to bobby pins. I plan to use them on some fun fohawks the week of halloween.

Julie said...

Jill, I'm sure your daughter was darling!
Beth, thanks for the compliment!
Amber, That's a great idea! It will look so cute.

I'm curious as to how well the rings stayed in throughout the day. If you just slip them over the rubber bands, I would think they would come out fairly easily. Or did I misunderstand how you put them in?? Any clarification would be fantastic!! Thank you!!
