Pulp Fictions: Grant Morrison's Batman
by Village Voice contributor
Comics come out on Wednesday, and so does Richard Gehr's Pulp Fictions.
"Batman R.I.P."
DC Comics Hardcover
"Come on, hit me," taunts the Joker as the Batcycle bears down on him during the brain-rattling climax to The Dark Knight. Can do—and can identify. Critical opinion on the movie has been divided between those who perceive this half-billion-dollar baby as A Good Thing and those who find it Too Much of a Good Thing. Heath Ledger's Joker is the incandescent star of the film in either case, the "agent of chaos" around whose amoral core Christian Bales's slatelike persona flaps its heavy black wings.
But another, even more brilliant, agent of chaos has been steadily reshaping the DC Universe since the early '90s, when Grant Morrison wrote weird and wonderful Animal Man and Doom Patrol stories for Vertigo. In short, The Dark Knight's kinetic excesses are but a dim shadow of the heady thrills rippling through arc after arc of Morrison's stint as Batman's prime mover since issue #655 in 2006. Perhaps in honor of Batman's upcoming 70th birthday in May 2009, Morrison is systematically destroying Bob Kane's creation. (Morrison's second Batman book, The Black Glove, hits the streets today.)
Morrison's Batman is darker, deadlier, and more troubling than director/co-writer Christopher Nolan's. The Dark Knight may "complete" the Joker onscreen, but Morrison's moral calculus is more complex than Nolan's interlocking duality. In Morrison's world, everything from Bruce Wayne's martyred father to his already corrupted son are up in the air and in play. Multiply this Oedipal geometry by two or three Robins, divide by Alfred the Butler, factor in Bruce/Batman's latest love interest (former supermodel Jezebel Jet), and Lacanian psychoanalytic theory suddenly feels like walk in the park.
Currently four issues into a six-part arc titled "Batman R.I.P.," Batman has seemingly been driven insane by ten days in an isolation chamber, a 49-day "peak meditative experience," and/or the four minutes he spent dead during a heart attack. Batman, in his derangement, may (or may not) have reconstituted himself as the Batman of planet Zur-En-Arrh, a character introduced in 1958 and subsequently forgotten until Morrison's resurrection. No aspect of the Batman mythology is off-limits to Morrison, and the appearance of the impish Bat-Mite suggests that what's being depicted is mere delusion, though it's still too early to say.
Morrison isn't interested in complexity for its own sake: The stakes are much higher than that. As his intoxicated performance at the 2000 Disinfocom indicates, Morrison believes that writing comics is magic that can literally alter consensual reality. In Watchmen, Alan Moore surpassed every prior comics writer at imagining the "real lives" of superheroes. Morrison upends the genre in another way. Batman, lacking super powers, achieves his dark mastery by adhering to the magus Aleister Crowley's Nietzschean maxim: Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
"I didn't expect costumed psychopaths, regular contact with hallucinogenic compounds or seemingly alien interventions," reads one of Bruce Wayne's journals, and damn if those aren't the basic elements of Morrison's style. Batman isn't merely a comic; it's an autobiography. By mapping himself ever more closely onto the DC Universe in Batman (and, to a lesser degree, in All Star Superman, Final Crisis, and all the other books he tosses off like so many toenail clippings) Grant Morrison is doing what Creationists can only imagine: He's creating a universe in his own image.

iOS 11.1, the latest iOS update, is out today for everyone to download. Front and center in its release notes is a plethora of new emoji. Included in those are a few new emoji that arrive just in time for Halloween, such as a vampire, mermaid, and fairy/pixie.
For me, emoji releases are characterized by the feeling that I never knew I wanted a particular emoji until it's released and I have it. I didn't know I was missing an orange heart, but I've got one. I've also got a Brachiosaurus, a swearing face, and a red scarf that I swear looks like one I've actually knitted in real life.
I can't, for the life of me, pick out a full 70. But it's got a few other good additions that I can find. My favorite is the ASL sign for I Love You, the pointer and pinky aloft with the thumb out.
iOS 11.1 includes a few other bug fixes and tweaks, but we all know the emoji are the real draw here.


In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients together. Cover and freeze until chilled, about 30 minutes.
In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Work in the butter with your fingers. Press the mixture into small clumps. Refrigerate the topping until chilled, about 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350° and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper or foil liners. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the eggs with the brown sugar, oil and pumpkin puree. Beat in the dry ingredients until evenly incorporated.
Spoon half of the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Drop heaping teaspoons of the cream cheese filling in the center of each cup and spoon the remaining batter on top. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter. Bake for about 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean. Let the muffins cool for 10 minutes before turning them out onto a rack to cool completely.

Samsung talks up camera advances ahead of Galaxy S6 launch
Chris Smith, February 11, 2015 8:23 pm GMT
Samsung has promised the forthcoming Galaxy S6 will boast its best ever camera, with smarter tech requiring less tinkering from users in order to take better shots in all conditions.
In a post on its Samsung Tomorrow blog, the firm chronicles the advances made since it released its first camera phone in 2000, and says there's plenty more to come.
Samsung says its '2015 Flagship model' will possess a camera so intelligent, users will need to do nothing but press the shutter button in order to take great photos.
The firm wrote: "We meticulously evaluate every single facet of our smartphone cameras by taking over 10,000 photos in every imaginable lighting environment for analysis.
"The same passion and dedication has been put into building the cameras for the release of our 2015 flagship model. It will be intelligent and do all the thinking for users, allowing them to take amazing pictures under any conditions, without having to worry about anything more than just pressing the shutter button.
"It will demonstrate just how far Samsung has advanced smartphone cameras, and once again will open the creative side of our users for new ideas and new possibilities."
Samsung did not go into detail on exactly how the Galaxy S6 will deliver these improvements. However, recent reports have suggested the company is considering easing off in its more gimmicky features.

Further reports on Wednesday claimed the device will boast a 20-megapixel shutter, which would be the largest sensor ever offered within a Samsung phone. It was also claimed the module will offer optical image stabilisation and enable users to take photos at six different resolutions.
The front-facing camera will utilise the same 5-megapixel resolution found on Samsung's Galaxy A devices, according to the report.
All will be revealed on Sunday March 1 when Samsung unveils the Galaxy S6 on the eve of the MWC 2015 expo in Barcelona.

USS FORD FFG-54 Patch – Sew On quantity
SKU: 840231528160 Categories: Navy Patches, Patches Tag: USS FORD FFG-54 Patch
A 4 inch patch of the USS Ford (FFG-54)
USS Ford (FFG-54) was a Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate in service with the United States Navy from 1985 to 2013. She was sunk as a target in the Pacific Ocean near Guam in 2019.
Ford deployed on 28 November 1985, stopping first in San Diego to pick up Helicopter Anti-Submarine (Light) HSL 45 Detachment ONE, the embarking SH-60F Sea Hawk Detachment.[4] After a five-hour stop Ford was underway to rendezvous with the Nimitz Battle Group under the command of Rear Admiral Lyle Bien, Commander, Carrier Group 7. The battle group then transited the Pacific Ocean from 2–20 December en route for Hong Kong. Ford participated in two ASW exercises with a US Los Angeles-class submarine and a new state-of-the-art Diesel submarine of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. Ford remained part of the Carrier Group 7 battlegroup during the events of the Third Taiwan Straits Crisis.
The guided missile frigate completed her first deployment during a voyage to the Western Pacific and Middle East Force (17 August 1987–17 February 1988). She took part in Operation Earnest Will, an operation to maintain freedom of navigation within the Persian Gulf, that included renaming and reflagging 11 Kuwaiti tankers.[1]
During a deployment to the Western Pacific, Persian Gulf, and Indian Ocean (13 November 1990 – 13 May 1991), Ford fought in Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm (28 January–18 March 1991). She alternated plane guard and "shotgun" duties for aircraft carriers Midway, Ranger, and Theodore Roosevelt during 34 continuous days of flight operations, and interdicted more than 90 merchant ships suspected of smuggling.[1]
From 13 December 1995 to 3 May 1996 Ford was assigned to the Nimitz Battle Group. Along with the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, Ford deployed to the Western Pacific, Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf. In March 1996, it patrolled the waters off Taiwan amid missile tests conducted by the Chinese in the area. It also cruised the Persian Gulf in support of Southern Watch prior to returning from deployment on 20 May 1996.
On 16 February 2007, Ford was awarded the 2006 Battle "E" award.[5]
Ford completed a Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) deployment starting 4 May 2007 and returning home on 20 September 2007. Ford made port visits to Japan, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Saipan, and Guam.[citation needed]
Inactivated on 19 August 2013, Ford was decommissioned 31 October 2013.[1] As of September 2016, the ship was in reserve at Bremerton and was slated to be disposed of as a target.[6] 01 October 2019 it was used as a target during a SINKEX near Guam. A MK-48 ADCAP torpedo was used to sink the Ford.

Congratulations to new Australian citizens and Australia Day Award recipients: Speech to Parliament
Mr BUCHHOLZ (Wright) (13:31): It was my pleasure more recently to attend the Scenic Rim and Lockyer Valley regional councils' Australian citizenship ceremonies and welcome Wright's newest Australian citizens. It was also a great opportunity to honour the outstanding achievements of local individuals and community groups who make such an enormous contribution to our region through the Australia Day awards. I offer congratulations to all the recipients. Thank you for your contribution to our community.
I make special mention of the Scenic Rim and Lockyer Valley citizens of the year—Kim Crow and Adrian Shepley—for their contribution to their respective communities. Kim was recognised for her generosity and calm nature, for sharing her contagious enthusiasm with the community and for being a willing worker and leader. Kim was the first female first officer of the Beechmont Rural Fire Brigade and has been involved in numerous community groups in the district. Adrian is credited for his passion and his commitment to the local community through his contributions to various sporting clubs and the Laidley RSL, his tireless work as a bus driver for the Aged and Handicapped Association and his heavy involvement in the local Catholic Church.
I would also like to take this opportunity to place on record my empathetic support for maintaining Australia Day celebrations on 26 January. There may be other ways in which we can recognise and acknowledge the impact of white settlement on Indigenous Australians, including National Sorry Day and NAIDOC Week. I suggest that it would be better for activists to spend their time in trying to close the gap between the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians on a range of issues— (Time expired)

A Troll In the Corner Podcast? Would You Listen?
There's a gazillion podcasts out there covering everything from the music of Macross to This Week in Tech, This American Life on to The Married Man Podcast. Listeners are bombarded with innumerable choices, but perhaps there is room for one more?
I run a gaming podcast, Wargaming Recon, releasing new episodes every other week. Being a podcaster since 2006 has taught me that when people find something they like, they're willing to stick with it and to try out related content. In other words, if you like what TrollITC has on the blog you may thoroughly enjoy a podcast discussing the same type of content found on the blog.
The million dollar question is, would YOU listen to such a show? Something that released weekly, or bi-weekly, lasting say 30-60 minutes in length. Perhaps you'd like it to be shorter, maybe clocking in at 15-20 minutes?
Your input is desired because I've been mulling over the possibility of such a show. I know that Ben, and the gang, are open to new ideas in the hope of seeing if the the spaghetti sticks to the wall. I'm not saying that we will end up creating a show. If interest is sufficiently strong you can bet that I'll see what can be done.
Cheating is the natural state of play for those cheeky little gits called kids. Here's why that's okay, and why you should embrace it.
I would listen to it. 30-60 mins, bi-weekly.
I would listen, provided you keep it 60 min or less. I just don't have time for some of these 2-3 hour podcasts.
When I listen to podcasts I prefer ones that max out at 30 minutes. I devote my entire attention to the show that I'm listening to, which means I don't get other things done. Others like podcasts as a bit of white noise while they do other things.
One of the hurdles with a 30 minute show, and why my own show is 60 minutes max, is the hour duration allows for more discussion and depth of discussion. It is possible to release a quality show of less than 60 minutes. The SModcast network has a bunch of fantastic shows. But, they're mostly 1-2 hours in length….a bit long for me.
So far it looks like there is definite interest in a TrollITC podcast. Please keep the comments coming!

The Insider's Guide to Florence
Designer Gabriele Corto Moltedo lets us in on the city's secrets as featured in our downloadable Wallpaper* Guide
The founder of Corto Moltedo which produces pop art-inspired women's bags in bright colours and metallics, Gabriele Corto Moltedo grew up in New York, but has lived in Florence's arty Santo Spirito district for the best part of a decade.
Moltedo likes to start his day with a cappuccino and brioche at Caffè Giacosa (Via della Spada 10), which dates back to 1815. For lunch, he often visits Borgo Antico (Piazza Santo Spirito 6), a neighbourhood restaurant near his home, where in warmer months he sits outside at tables beneath the trees, and orders pizza with "nduja, a spicy Calabrian salame". If he has time for an afternoon break, Moltedo loves to amble up the hill to the Basilica di San Miniato al Monte (Via delle Porte Sante), for its spectacular interiors and one of the city's best views.
"I particularly admire the tombs sunk into the church floor," he says. At aperitivo time, he meets friends at Art Bar (Via del Moro 4), which serves fabulous cocktails.
"The banana daiquiri is like fruit salad with rum." For dinner, Moltedo vies for a seat at the popular Trattoria Sostanza (Via del Porcellana 25), an authentic 1940s-style eaterie that serves "the best steak in town". Another favourite is Trattoria Cammillo (Borgo San Jacopo 57), a traditional Tuscan restaurant. "The fried vegetables, especially the green tomatoes, are to die for."
We hope our preview has given you an idea for a new year city break. You can find out about the places mentioned above - and more - by downloading our Wallpaper* City Guides here.

The latter are illustrated by some remarks on the spirit of the plantations laws, occasionally introduced in notes, which demonstrate the cruel oppression, not only of slaves, but of free Negroes, Mulattoes, and Indians, and even of Christian White servants in the British colonies. IV. Some remarks on the ancient villenage, shewing, that the obsolete laws and customs, which favoured that horrid oppression, cannot justify the admission of the modern West Indian slavery into this Kingdom, not the leaf claim of property, or right of service, deducible therefrom.

Inspired by a life along the shore, Sperrys are the perfect combination of comfort, versatility, and clean New England style. Keeping these iconic boat shoes looking fresh through use, however, can be a bit of a challenge. Whether it's mud, water, or everyday wear, these off-duty favorites tend to show use easily, and keeping your look on point means regular upkeep. Luckily, bringing these classic shoes back to their original splendor is easier than you think.
Keep reading for our essential guide to how to clean Sperrys in just four steps.
Classic Sperrys are best cleaned separately from the laces, which tend to get rumpled and worn if they're cleaned in the same way as leather. If the laces also need to be cleaned, place them in a small bowl with a bit of dish soap and cold water. Swish them thoroughly, then rinse with clean water and allow them to air dry.
If your Sperrys have removable insoles, these can be cleaned separately as well. Sprinkle dry baking soda over the surface of the insoles, both top and bottom, before scrubbing with a damp brush. As a note, be careful not to get any baking soda on the shoes themselves, since it could damage the leather.
Like any authentic pair of boat shoes, Sperrys were made to get wet. Fortunately, this makes cleaning them fairly intuitive. Using either a bucket or spray bottle, fully dunk or spritz your Sperrys with clean, cold water. Next, apply a small amount of mild dish soap to the exterior of the shoes, about a tablespoon per shoe. Then gently scrub the surface of the shoes using your brush. Instead of soap, you can also apply specialized leather cleaner with a cloth. Whichever method you choose, be sure to thoroughly rinse and wipe down the surface of the shoes to remove any residue.
Air drying is a key step in cleaning Sperrys properly. Place them in a cool, dry area away from direct heat or sunlight, and stuff them with newspaper to absorb excess moisture and help them retain their shape. After about 24 hours, your Sperrys should be ready to re-lace and wear.
Up next, keep reading for the $0 trick for cleaning your suede shoes.


1. Students learn to discriminate the sounds of English, which is a fundamental skill.
2. Dictations focus students' attention on listening, which helps noisy students become quiet very quickly.
3. Dictations are very useful to either introduce new material or review old material.
1. Make dictations like a game, using points and emphasizing improvement. Students are, in effect, competing against themselves.
2. Make dictations challenging and useful. Repeat dications, or play a cassette tape, at natural speed and allow students to miss some words. They will improve in the future as they get used to natural-speed English.
3. Give clear feedback after dictations, so students can learn from their mistakes.
1. Say a word or a sentence two or three times at normal speed, giving students enough time to write them. Speaking slowly seems to be more "helpful" to students, but they get used to a slower speed and then have trouble later.
2. Start with single words, then move on to short sentences as soon as possible. As students improve, move on to longer sentences. I have used sentences of up to 16 words, though sometimes I have to break such sentences down in to two parts.
3. Dictations should either come from new students or be a little bit difficult. If not, dictations become a memory exercise rather than a listening exercise.
5. Watch to make sure students do not copy from other students. Emphasize that dictations are like practicing a sport or a musical instrument. Each student must do his or her own practice.
7. Teacher Joe gives one point for each letter when doing word dictations and one point for each word when doing sentences. You can gradually increase the number of points per word as students improve. If you give them 2 points per word, then 5, then 10, 100, 1000, even 10,000 or 1,000,000, students can learn large numbers very easily.
8. Have students exchange notebooks with their neighbors for marking. They should write down the number of correct words after your explanation.
1. Blackboard Game - have students write dictations on the blackboard as a kind of team competition.
2. Whisper Game - show a sentence on a piece of paper to the last person in each row. That person must whisper the sentence to the students sitting in front of him or her, then THAT student must whisper to whoever sits one seat in front, etc. The first student in each row must write the sentence on the blackboard.
3. Pair Dictations - give half the students in the class a sentence on a piece of paper. They must say the sentence to a partner. Score the dictation in the usual way. Students must pronounce clearly for the dictation to succeed.
4. Advanced Pair Dictations - give students any topic, then ask them to speak for 2 or 3 minutes. Their partner writes down every word. When students are finished speaking, their partner counts the number of words spoken. This can be used as a simple speaking test.
5. Missing Words - use a whole paragraph, printed out with whole groups of words missing. Read the text aloud as students write the missing phrases. You can choose any words you want students to practice.
6. Spoken Dictations - have students listen and say out loud. This works better for smaller classes than big classes. In a large class you could say a sentence then switch to Pair Dictations (number 3 above) to see if students can repeat to their partners accurately.
Dictations need very little preparation, are easy to do, and can be used in almost every class. Teacher Joe's students often complain at first, but when dictations are used regularly, they get used to it and actually enjoy watching their scores improve. You as a teacher will also enjoy watching their listening and speaking ability improve!

Ange AlexCover bands, Fake Fest March 16, 2011
700 South is a local band that is at the top of the cover band chain.
They have a new single out now.
The new single is called "Maybe I Should Be With You" and is kind of difficult to classify into a musical genre. It's a rock tune and it has pop sensibilities but people tell us it sounds like surf music mixed with modern rock, with a classical Spanish flamenco guitar break / drum solo. Their guitarist Steve calls its vibe "Spaghetti Western".
Casey Williams (Bassist) had this to say about the new song, "I wrote the song initially over the summer last year while taking a vacation at a cabin up on Lake Lanier. The band took the basic song and came up with incredible arrangements, which have definitely morphed it in some unusual and cool directions. There's lot of interesting melodies and very catchy hooks."
700 South has been performing the song live since last fall and they recorded the single at "Richenroll Studios" in Roswell.
The song was produced by 700 South and Rich Grillo. Rich was the engineer , he did all of the mixing and mastering. Their guitarist Steve Storey made huge contributions to the recording as well – he has a fantastic ear for production and kept them all in check, Casey told me..
The song is of course performed by 700 South – Lisa Weiland (vocals), Steve Storey (guitar), Casey Williams (bass) and Bill Weiland (drums). Rich Grillo performed the classical "guitarchistra".
For more information on the band, visit them HERE. Make sure to check out their St. Patty's Day celebration at Sidelines in Holly Springs!

I. Christ's open door. The figure here is probably similar to those expressions in which Paul speaks of 'a door being opened to him of the Lord' (2 Corinthians 2:12); of 'a great and effectual door being opened' (I Corinthians 16:9); of 'God opening a door of utterance' (Colossians 4:3). In one aspect it as the door of service, and labor, and opportunity; in another, it is the door of success, and blessing, and power. It is the door both of service and success. It is an open door, not requiring even to be knocked at, but thrown wide open, that the Philadelphians might enter in at once, and without obstacle.
Christ, when He comes to men, finds a closed door; so He has to knock; but 'before them' He sets an open door. It is right before them, immediately in front; for this seems the true point of the word. They have not to seek for it; it is not far off nor hidden, but just before them, thus open, by Christ Himself. He who has the key of David has unlocked it and thrown it wide open. Christ with His own hand has opened it, and with His own finger points to it, saying, 'Go in!' Christ has thus two open doors—an open door for salvation, and an open door for service. Go in, He says to every loiterer on the outside; Go in and be saved. See there, just before you is the house of salvation. I have set it before you open, and no one can shut it (either man or devil.) Go in, He says also to each Christian—Go in and work. See, right before you is the door of service. I have set it open, and no man (or rather, 'no one,' whether man or devil) can shut it.

Home Articles What is an offset mortgage?
An offset mortgage is a type of mortgage which allows you to save money by reducing your monthly payments, potentially allowing you to pay off your mortgage more quickly by shortening its term.
By linking a mortgage with your savings, the offset mortgage product works by reducing the total amount of interest that is charged as the savings are 'offset' against the value of the mortgage. In most cases interest is then paid on a balance which is worked out by subtracting the savings balance from your mortgage balance, saving you money.
Take a mortgage of £200,000 paying an interest rate of 5%. And let's say you have £15,000 in a savings account too. With an offset mortgage, you would only pay interest on £185,000 of your mortgage, due to the reduction that your savings can give you. So over the year, this could save you £750.
Offset mortgages offer you a choice - either save on your monthly repayments thanks to the savings you have offset against the mortgage, or reduce the time frame that you will be paying the mortgage off for, reducing the length of the plan.
There is nothing to stop you improving the terms of your offset mortgage as you go. As you add to the total of your savings account, you will enhance your offset mortgage by reducing the interest.
Another option is overpaying. Some, but not all offset mortgages also allow you to overpay, thus paying off your mortgage quicker in the long run.
Offset mortgages allow you to save a higher amount of interest than you would be able to earn from your savings account, meaning they can make financial sense. There is also no tax paid on the interest you save, as opposed to standard savings accounts with the exception of ISAs.
You can also have access to savings at any time - but note that your interest will go up if your savings diminish.
You should remember that your savings won't earn interest if they're held in an offset account. This means that they will not grow if you take out an offset mortgage, but as highlighted above, in the long run you could still be saving money thanks to your lower mortgage interest.
The choice to get an offset mortgage should always be made based on your individual circumstances, and you should always seek professional financial advice before taking such a step.
