After falling to Calgary in a Canada West Play-In series last February, the University of Manitoba Bisons men's basketball team is hungry to return to the postseason this coming year. With a number of critical players from squads across the conference graduating, the parity is as high as it's been in years, giving the herd an opportune chance to rise in the standings for 2015-16.
Manitoba's only exits are guards Stephan Walton and Mike Holloway, as well as forward Andre Arruda. While these three players are tough losses, the chemistry within the group will still be quite strong. Not only do the Bisons have a large crop of returning players, head coach Kirby Schepp also went out and recruited some familiar faces, who will play into the fold immediately.
Without further adieu, here are a few players to look for when the herd begin their season this coming weekend.
Two players you might've not expected to be on this list are 2014-15 co-captains Wyatt Anders and Amir Ali. Both athletes technically played in their fifth and final year of eligibility last season, but they each won their final year back.
Ali, a point guard, tore his ACL a month and a half before the start of last season and played in just five regular season games. Due to his injury, he was granted medical redshirt status and is back for 2015-16.
Ali's leadership and high basketball IQ will be very important for his squad this season. Between Ali and Ilarion Bonhomme II, the herd will have a ton of experience at the "one" position. His ability to read and react to what's going on around him is something that any team would love to have, and the Bisons will be sure to take advantage of that.
He's also versatile. While Bonhomme is fairly set at the point guard position due to his six-foot frame, Ali at six-foot-three can also move to shooting guard when needed.
Anders' case is a bit more interesting. His fight to get his final year back as a transfer from the Canadian Mennonite University Blazers was a long and drawn-out process, but he eventually won his appeal and it couldn't come at a better time.
While the Bisons have size in the front court with Brett Jewell and Jonathan Alexander, getting Anders back provides them with even more leadership and a player who fights for every rebound, boasting a strong post-up game. He'll likely be inserted right back into the starting rotation, and gives the herd a double-double type effort game-in and game-out.
Entering their third and fourth years respectively, guards Justus Alleyn and AJ Basi are two players who have consistently stepped up for their squad. Last season, they were also first and second in minutes per game – both racking up over 29.
Alleyn was second on the team in points per game in 2014-15 with 11.7, and has a natural scoring touch from both inside and outside the perimeter. Much like Ali, he can play either the "one" or "two" position, and has great speed coming off of the screen. His defensive game is also tenacious.
Basi is an all-around hard worker with hustle who led the team in points per game last year with 16.3. He has great touch from beyond the arc and is able to position himself excellently on a consistent basis.
Two of the biggest recruits for this season are local players who fill huge voids as dynamic swingmen on a roster that has primarily been guard-heavy in the past.
Joey Nitychoruk returns to Manitoba after three successful seasons with the Lakehead Thunderwolves of the OUA.
At six-foot-five he can play as a post but is also able to move out to the "three" position as a strong perimeter shooter. His ability on the glass and defence of the post-up game is also invaluable as a strong compliment to Anders, Jewell and Alexander. Nitychoruk's nonstop work ethic is also contagious and will provide a spark for his teammates.
Keith Omoerah is another versatile player who's making his return to the Bisons after two years away from the CIS game. He can play almost every position on the court, hence his description as a guard/forward on the roster.
Much like Nitychoruk, he has great range from beyond the arc but can also rebound effectively, and much like Anders, he's capable of recording a double-double in every game.

Every college graduate's ultimate goal, once they finish school, is to find the best job or career for himself or herself. This typically means one that pays well, has good benefits, good location and commute time and one they will enjoy to the fullest. But what is desired is not always the case with every graduate student. It can be quite difficult to find a great job directly after you graduate, given the job requirements (including previous experience minimums) and amount of young people vying for jobs. As our parents always told us, you have to get out there and grind, send out your resume, cold call various businesses and companies, and don't quit until you find that coveted position that you always wanted. But what exactly do college graduates plan to do to find the jobs they want and need? What resources are they planning to use to find their first position once they graduate?
As a student at Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, California, I am in the midst of beginning the job search in a few years when I graduate myself, and the most asked question I get is, "what do you want to do after college?" I always think about it for a moment, before answering. But the follow-up question that is almost never asked is, "how do you plan to get that job?" That is the million-dollar question that no one quite knows how to answer. But it is the most important, because if you don't have a plan as to how you will acquire the job you want, you will never quite get your feet off the ground. The best way to start planning the path to your desired career is to brainstorm some jobs you could see yourself doing years after you get your diploma. This is best done a year or two before you finish school, so you have enough breathing room to have "trial and error" when looking for careers or applying for internships.
Being at a university for almost two years now, I have had many conversations with upperclassmen who have given various answers for one simple but very important question: what resources do you plan to use to find your first job after you graduate? After interviewing a few of my fellow Sonoma State classmates, I was able to gain some insight into the inner workings of the college student's mind and their overall thought process when it comes to their job search. Ryan, a junior computer science student from Danville, California, had a clear and straightforward answer when asked which resources he would use to help him find a job: "I would probably use Google, LinkedIn, and talk to some friends who already have great careers in the programming and coding fields." When asked specifically which individuals he would speak to regarding his career choices, he talked about his brother, Nick, who is a computer programmer at Workday Inc. in Pleasanton, California: "My brother has been working at Workday for about two years now, and from what he's told me, he really enjoys being a programmer there and gets paid well, and his commute time each morning is manageable." It is pretty evident that having connections in certain career fields can be very beneficial to college students and soon-to-be-graduates, such as Ryan.
Some students were more unsure about which resources they would use after their college career is finished, but sophomore Cameron had some solid ideas: "I would use some connections that I have made throughout my few years at State, as I think that's the best way to get the best job. Using people you know really well in the field you want to work in is, in my opinion, the easiest way to find the career you want. Another resource I'd probably use would be some job websites online." Cameron is a double major in Geology and Criminal Justice with a minor in Paleontology, from Rancho Palos Verdes, California. Another sophomore, James from Oceanside, California stated, "my plan is to use the internships that I have before I graduate as resources to find the career I want." As a Kinesiology major, James wants to become a physical therapist someday, so he will use the people he has worked with in his various internships to find the best position for himself.
Overall, there seemed to be a steady trend with these Sonoma State students in regard to what type of resources they plan to use once they graduate college. From LinkedIn to internships to job search websites to simply connecting with people in your desired career field, there are many successful ways of gearing yourself up with resources to find the best job possible in the field where you know you can shine. All of these college students have a good idea of how they will get where they want to go in their lives after graduation, and as for myself, I know I will use many of the resources mentioned here in this blog. To reach your career goals, you have to take the first step into the job market by talking to people and putting yourself out there, whether that means sending out your resume a dozen times or chatting with a former employer. Do what is necessary to succeed and you will never go wrong!
If It's Not All About the Money, What Are Graduates Looking For In Their First Job?

Comic Book Confidential (1988) Review
August 30, 2017 by J.R.	in To Watch Pile and tagged captain america, comics, DC Comics, jack kirby, justice league, kevin smith, Marvel, To Watch Pile	| Leave a comment
One from the re watch pile…
Comic Book Confidential (1988)
The Australian DVD cover
Film: I am and always will be a comic fan. Sure there have been periods of time where I haven't collection, the post-Image world of the 90s for example (I'm sorry guys, I like the old artwork, and the anime/ graffiti styled artwork of those guys never rubbed me the right way… I want my superheroes to be done by the old masters like Jack Kirby, Gil Kane, John Buscema and their ilk) and recently I've become disappointed with the storylines which seem to be repetitive and basically made to sell the movies. I understand it's a business but there seems to be a creative lull, which has happened before as the history of comics is circular and fad based. Something hot today will not even be published tomorrow.
Hell, as of this review we don't even have the cornerstone of the Marvel universe, the Fantastic Four being published, and that was once taglined as 'The World's Greatest Comic Magazine'.
I do still however get collections of old stuff, and I'm fascinated by the history of the art form too, and my book collection has many 'history of comics' books amongst it.
This, however, is Ron Mann's documentary of the history of comic books and it's a pretty concise and interesting look at how they came about, but the best thing about this doco is the absolutely essential stories from some of the old men, and young guns, of the industry.
It's pretty special to know the history of Bill Gaines, and then hear him tell stories himself, and to actually hear my hero, Jack Kirby's voice, is amazing.
This doesn't just look at the history of the art of comics, it also takes a walk down the history of comics legacy, and how it was effected by, and how it effected society. There is some great archival footage of the Senatorial Commitee on Juvenile Delinquency and some disturbing stories about court cases where artists and writers were sued for things they wrote or drew.
There is some cool presentations of classic comic covers rarely seen, but occasionally that footage is spoilt by some poorly executed, amateurish animation of the covers which was unnecessary and detracts from the amazing original art.
If you want a brief history of the industry, and one that is American centric as none of the great European or Asian artists really get a look in, this is your place to go, but there is so much more to many of the stories discussed in this doco. Honestly. This doco could do with a 1988 to now sequel!
Ron, are you listening?
The Australian DVD menu screen
Format: This documentary was reviewed with the Australian DVD release which runs for approximately 85 minutes. The film is presented in 4:3 and has a 2.0 audio track, both of which are of various degrees of quality due to the historical nature of some of the footage and audio. It doesn't really detract from the enjoyment of the film though.
Score: ***
Extras: There is several extra on this disc though the first couple are a bit Kevin Smith indulgent. I guess if you pay someone to turn up you take advantage of the time.
The first note is that this doco from the 80s has a new introduction by Kevin Smith, where he basically points out that even ten years later when his introduction was done, it was still relevant.
A Conversation with Kevin Smith is more ' a justification for reading comics by Kevin Smith' and whilst I get the heart of where it's coming from I don't get why I have to justify, or convince someone that adults can read comic, the same as a cricket fan does have to justify to me why he likes it. It doesn't matter what you dig, just respect each other, and if you think you have to justify your passion to a friend, you need new friends.
Silent Bobs Speaks is a not very funny series of questions aimed at Smith's 'Silent Bob' character. Lame.
There is also a trailer for the film.
The is an interview with director Ron Mann who talks about the making of this film and his career in general.
Last there are text biographies of some of the artists featured in the doco, including Robert Crumb, Will Eisner, Frank Miller, Jaime Hernandez, Shary Flenniken, Lynda Barry, Victor Moscow, Bill Griffith, Jack Kirby (of course), William M. Gaines, Francoise Molly, Al Feldstein, Art Spiegelman, Sue Coe, Gilbert Shelton, Dan O'Neill, Stan Lee, Harvey Kurtzman, Harvey Pekar, Spain, Charles Burns and Paul Mavrides. They are single paragraph bios so don't expect an entire indepth history of each person.
WISIA: I have watched this many times and will probably continue to watch it many more times.
Superman/ Batman: Apocalypse (2010)
August 23, 2017 by J.R.	in To Watch Pile and tagged batman, bluray, comics, dc, DC Comics, superman, wonder woman	| Leave a comment
The Australian Bluray cover
Film: As a comic fan, I possibly love these DC animated features more than the Marvel movies. I like the fact that every film doesn't require an origin story of the character, and there is an assumption that the viewer KNOWS who Batman and Superman and Power Girl and whomever else is. Throwing out the need to have an origin story makes for a quicker start to the tale, and the DC universe creators are clever with their introductions as sometimes they are as simple as just sitting at a table in JLA headquarters!
The other thing is unlimited budget. The beautiful thing about animation (and comics) is it takes about the same amount of budget to create one explosion or fifty of them, also, it's a lot easier to change a cast member when all you hear is their voice.
There is also the fact that they just tell good stories almost every time, and that is because they are based on the stories told in the comics, which were far better than any 'live action' adaptation. This in combination with some spectacular character design, and the inclusion of one of Jack Kirby's greatest creations, Darkseid, and other denizens of his awesome Fourth World Saga characters, make for an epic tale.
During a meteor shower, 'something' crash lands in Gotham Harbour, making Batman go to investigate. Batman finds a spaceship of Kryptonian origins, a bunch of kryptonite, and a girl, Kara, the cousin of Superman!
Batman prefers hard rock over heavy metal.
Superman and Batman become an unusual parental unit for Kara, who we quickly find out was sent with baby Superman to protect him on Earth, but her ship was knocked off course, arriving so much later that Superman is now older in body that her, as her ships suspended animation kept her at a 16 year old girl's age. Unfortunately, Batman's mistrust causes a rift between them and her.
Meanwhile, on the God-world of Apokalips, the evil ruler Darkseid, is attempting to replace the traitorous Big Barda, who left his royal guard as its captain. He is entrusting Granny Goodness, the trainer of warriors, to find her replacement, but she is repeatedly failing. Darkseid has seen Kara fall from the sky too, and entrusts Goodness to capture her so she can become his new Captain.
Meanwhile, again, Batman has employed Wonder Woman to take her Paradise Island to receive proper training, which Superman agrees to, causing a rift between her and him.
With Kara's disappointment in both her 'parents', once captured she is easily swayed to Darkseid's manipulations… but will she become Darkseid's greatest warrior?
Supergirl under Darkseid's thrall.
This is a really cool story, and it shows a lot of the strong women that DC has to offer all in one story, although as a weird juxtaposition, it also has a bizarre sequence where Kara goes shopping in a Pretty Woman styled sequence, which seems to show that even above all the powers, she's still 'just a girl'. I don't know why such a sequence exists in this film, and the film comes to a sudden stop to show it. I have to admit that when we see what she ultimately decides as her outfit, it's a nice tribute to Laura Vandervoort's Smallville outfit.
Another thing I like about it is how it links loosely to the previous Superman/ Batman movie, Public Enemies, with a mention of 'President Luthor's impeachment'.
There's some awesome voice casting in this film as well. Kevin Conroy returns as the angry voice of Batman, as does Tim Daly as Superman. Summer Glau from Firefly performs Supergirl but the most inspired vocal choice is TV legend Ed Asner as Granny Goodness, it makes her look even weirder with his deep attempts at a woman's voice.
All up, this is certainly one of the better DC animated features and for me being a big Kirby fan, it was a pleasure seeing so many of Kirby's creations, like Big Barda, Granny Goodness, the Female Furies, Parademons, Hunger Dogs… just so many, on the screen.
Format: The reviewed copy of this film was the Australian Bluray which runs for approximately 78 minutes and is presented in a crisp 1.85:1 visual with an clear cut and crisp DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 audio track.
The Australian Bluray menu screen
Extras: The disc opens with previews for Batman: Under the Red Hood and The Lost Boys: The Thirst before making its way to the main menu.
Under the Special Features banner though is a huge bunch of stuff:
DC Showcase: Green Arrow is a cool 10 minute short highlighting Green Arrow. This is a really cool short that introduces the character of Green Arrow and also features other characters like Black Widow, Count Vertigo and Merlyn. DC only made a few of these and it's disappointing that they dumped them. This features an awesome line up of actors doing the voices too: A Clockwork Orange's Malcolm McDowell, Captain America: The First Avenger's Neil McDonough, Scooby Doo's Grey Delisle, Futurama's John DiMaggio and Modern Family's Ariel Winter!
Bruce Timm's Top Picks features four episodes taken from Superman: The Animated Series: Little Girl Lost Part 1 and 2, and Apokalips Now! Part 1 and 2.
The Fourth World: The New Gods investigates Jack Kirby's creation of the New Gods in the early 70s, and how important their creation was to DC at the time, and explores Kirby's history as well, and how important he was to the history of comic books.
New Gods: Mister Miracle Pod is a distillation of Miracle's origin.
News Gods: Orion Pod is the same as Miracle's, but for Orion.
Supergirl: The Last Daughter of Krypton explores the history of the character of Supergirl, why she was so important to the DC universe, and why she continues to be relevant and popular today. Unfortunately this was made before the new TV series starring Melissa Benoist so there's nothing included from that (at this point, Laura Vandervoort was still Supergirl from the Smallville TV show).
There are also trailers for the Lego Universe, the Jonah Hex motion comic, Batman: Under the Red Hood (again), Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths and Superman/ Batman: Public Enemies.
The final extra is a sneak peak at what was the next release in the DC Animated Features, All-Star Superman.
WISIA: I love these DC animated features, and ALL of them get regularly watched… including this one.
Big Barda expresses her point.
Necessary Evil: Super-villains of DC Comics (2013)
August 16, 2017 by J.R.	in To Watch Pile and tagged comics, dc, DC Comics, dvd, harley quinn, jack kirby, joker, justice league, Suicide Squad, superman	| Leave a comment
The cover of the US DVD
Film: I've been collecting comics for well over 40 years, and I still love them to death. I do admit that I did have a period in the 90s where I did not buy any, but that was due to Image comics; not the comics or artists themselves as what they did for artists and writers in the industry was long overdue, but the style of their art.
I'm an old school, Jack Kirby, John Buscema, Bernie Wrightson, Richard Corbin, Robert Crumb guy, so these new flashy artists had no interest to me, and when Marvel and DC started emulating their style, I was out!
Thankfully this didn't last too long and soon I was back in the fold, enjoying the adventures of masked heroes fighting the good fight against evil, and being a bi-fan: that is, I buy both Marvel and DC comics… but why both? Why in a world where most people buy one or the other, would I get comics from both universes?
The answer is this: I love the realism of most of Marvel's heroes having a basis in science rather than magic, and without a doubt, Jack Kirby and Stan Lee's Fantastic Four is still the World's Greatest Comic Magazine, even though as of the date of this review it hasn't been published for several years.
On the flip side of that, I think that DC's bad guys are greater than Marvel's. Lex Luther is a great example: in Marvel comics, his equivalent is a good guy, Tony Stark, a weapons manufacturer who became Iron Man. In reality, those sorts of people are seen by the general public as villains, like Luthor. Luther doesn't hate mankind or want world destruction, he's xenophobic against Superman.
The man responsible for some of the greatest Batman comics ever written, Scott Snyder
In reality, what would mankind do if an alien came to earth? Luthor's actions are probably more accurate. Acceptable? No, but when are mankind's actions acceptable?
Another DC villain that I think is possibly the greatest villain of all time is Jack Kirby's Darkseid. Darkseid is the dictator of a world called Apokalips, and is at odds with the ENTIRE DC universe. You Marvel fans think Thanos is something to be concerned about? Darkseid would eat Thanos for breakfast!
Anyway, this documentary, Necessary Evil, sits as a great companion piece to the previous documentary Secret Origins: The History of DC Comics, which was released three years earlier. Necessary Evil is hosted by Christopher Lee (the ultimate super villain?) and has interviews with creative types from all walks of life. From psychologists to actors, including but not limited to director Zach Snyder, screenplay writer Geoff Boucher, co-creator of Harley Quinn Paul Dini, DC editor Bobbie Chase, DC editor in chief Bob Harras and many many more.
Producer and author of The Boy Who Loved Batman, Michael Uslan
The film features clips from comics, cartoons, video games, animated films and major motion pictures, and displays many incarnations of the various villains, and is not just a great history of the villains of the DC universe, but is also an interesting psychological look at why we love heroes, but love villains even more.
Recommended, but it's really only for the most devout of DC comics fans.
The US DVD menu screen
Format: Necessary Evil was reviewed on a region 1 DVD which runs for 99 minutes. The image is presented in a 1.78:1 image and a Dolby Digital 2.0 audio, both of which are pretty good.
Extras: The disc starts with a trailer for DC's We Can Be Heroes incentive (which is a pretty cool cause http://www.wecambeheroes.org), Man of Steel, the video game Batman: Arkham Origins, the DC animated feature Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox and the DC animated TV series, Green Lantern, Young Justice and Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and that's the entirety of the extras.
WISIA: Being a comic nut, I have to admit to watching this many many times.

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) Review
August 9, 2017 by J.R.	in To Watch Pile and tagged captain america, chris Evans, comics, Marvel, marvel comics, To Watch Pile	| 1 Comment
One from the re watch pile for Jack Kirby month…
Film: Captain America has always been 'my' superhero. When I was a early teen, which is when I really started to collect comics properly (before that I just bought them at random, rather than collect a series consistently), and that first series that I couldn't do without was Cap's. I remember clearly that it was issue 262, drawn my Mike Zeck and it had Cap being held aloft by a giant version of himself known as 'The Ameridroid'. I had a great friend in high school and the two of us were 'the comic nerds' though he was an Iron Man guy, whilst I was all about Cap.
He was my friend regardless of his bad taste in heroes.
My father one day took me to Comic Kingdom in Sydney, and bought for me a full second run of Jack Kirby's Captain America from the 70s (and a full run of Jack Kirby's The Demon from DC) and I was totally enamoured by how awesome Kirby's art was and became a lifelong fan. I did have other Kirby comics in my collection, I quickly discovered, and they became the jewels in my comic crown.
So fast forward to about 30 years later, and I hear that a 'proper' Captain America film was being made that would be part of a greater collective of a Cinema version of the Marvel Universe, and am stoked that the guy who was cast as Johnny Storm in a substandard Fantastic Four movie previously.
More importantly, I heard it was going to be pretty true to the comic, and the lack of an Italian Red Skull made my heart flutter.
… and boy, was I not disappointed!
The Captain (Chris Evans) is somewhat disappointed in his way effort as an entertainer.
Captain America: The First Avenger tells of a young man Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) during the Second World War who, due to a lack of physical prowess, was rejected to join the army, though he is eventually accepted to join a test program to create the perfect 'super soldier'.
When he proves himself not in strength or skill, but in mind and heart, he is accepted into the experimental program, overseen by Colonel Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones), Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) and scientist Dr. Erskine (Stanley Tucci). He finds that he is not the first to undergo such a procedure, and that a German soldie, Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving, who I still think would be an amazing Joker in a Batman film), went through an imperfect version of the process which caused him to become deformed with a red, skull-like visage.
Unfortunately, Dr. Erskine is killed by a German spy during the procedure and when Steve emerges as a muscular heroic figure and pursues him, he kills himself with a cyanide pill. With Erskine dead, Rogers is not used as a soldier, but instead a promoter of war bonds and a part of the war effort entertainment troupe, until he is caught up in a rescue mission which not only reunites him with his childhood friend, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) but puts him at odds with Schmidt, and his collaborator, Arnim Zola (Toby Jones).
Will Captain America survive his first mission, or will he end up in a plane crash and be frozen for 50 years…?
Achtung, Baby! It's the Red Skull (Hugo Weaving).
They nailed the entire creation of Jack Kirby and Joe Simon's character in this film. The beauty of do a film set in the past is you don't have to 'update' it like they did with Iron Man, who got his chest injuries differently in the comics (well, basically the same, but in a different war) so there is no part really where the comic fan might get a cringe… like the Joker killing Batman's parents in Tim Burton's Batman…
They do modernise Bucky though, as the concept of a young boy being sent to war to fight alongside men would have child endangerment groups livid, and let's face it, the kid sidekick is a terrible idea (sorry Robin, Wonder Girl, Speedy, Aqualad, etc). Any 'hero' who puts kids in danger is no hero at all!
The amazing thing is that this film never really falls into the trappings of what could make it a bad movie. Captain America is seen as an icon of good, rather than a pro-America cheerleader, and that is something that could have very easily been mistakenly done. This is due to the excellent writing from Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, which never talks down, nor does it feel comic-y: it's a war movie with a superhero in it! The only time it goes into melodramatic areas is with the Red Skull, which it has to as he is an over-the-top supervillain!
The direction is really good too. Joe Johnson didn't just set this film in the 40s, sometimes it even is filmed like a movie of that era, and I got bits and pieces of things like Raoul Walsh's White Heat out of the occasional visual. He didn't copy scenes, but there is an occasional stylistic emulation, which never becomes parody which is a nice touch.
Anyway, this is a great superhero movie and a pretty good war movie too, and throw in a brief cameo of Doctor Who's Jenna Coleman just to make the nerd in me jump up and take notice!
Format: This Australian bluray copy of the film runs for approximately 124 minutes and is presented in an impeccable 2.35: 1 image with an astonishing Dolby DTS-HD 7.1.
Extras: Heaps of cool extras on this disc!
Commentary by Director Joe Johnson, Director Of Photography Shelley Johnson and Editor Jeffrey Ford which is a good one, insomuch as it's informative and conversational.
Marvel One-Shot: A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Thor's Hammer is, upon reflection, a tool to prepare us for Coulson's character becoming a bigger part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's an entertaining short, in the vein of 'bully gets his just deserts' styled YouTube videos.
Next there is a bunch of really interesting featurettes:
Outfitting Cap looks at the entire design process and styling of Cap's outfit and his shield.
Howling Commandos looks at the actors who played Cap's platoon, the Howling Commandos, firmly placed in comic lore, though Nick Fury is absent (he was their sergeant in the comics).
Heightened Technology looks at the tech used in the film, which needed to look like ACTUAL WWII technology, but still have a scifi element to it.
The Transformation tells of the special effects needed to make 'skinny Steve', the pre-super soldiered Steve Rogers, on Chris Evans' muscular body/
Behind the Skull explores the performance by Hugo Weaving and special effects of the Red Skull, Cap's arch enemy.
Captain America's Origin is a discussion with Captain America co-creator Joe Simon about his and Jack Kirby's creation.
The Assembly Begins is, of course, a first look at what would become The Avengers.
Deleted Scenes has 4 deleted scenes which can be watched with a commentary by the previously mention members of the film commentary team (for some reason one doesn't have the commentary, but you'll have to deal with it).
There are four trailers: two for the film, one for the video game and one for the Avengers cartoon.
This version of the film also came with the film on DVD and a downloadable digital copy as well.
WISIA: It's Captain America; you bet I'll watch it again… and again…. and again….
Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) takes aim…
Marvel Masterwork: The Fantastic Four Volume 1
August 5, 2017 by J.R.	in To Watch Pile and tagged fantastic four, jack kirby, Marvel, stan lee	| Leave a comment
MARVEL MASTERWORKS: THE FANTASTIC FOUR VOLUME 1
Ask any comics fan what is the most important 'modern' comic, and most will say Fantastic Four issue 1. It's the comic that put Marvel on the map and for years was known as 'The World's Greatest Comic Magazine' and for years, it was!
The creation of the Fantastic Four was instigated by publisher Martin Goodman, when he heard that DC's Justice League of America was doing well, so he asked one of his writers, Stan Lee, to create something similar. Lee's concept was to instead of making the members 'super-friends', he would instead create a super-family so the connection between the members was more permanent. The one member who wasn't 'family' was made to think of his powers as a disability, and stayed with the team to get a 'cure'. Lee created this by using older characters mixed with new ideas, and comic legend Jack Kirby was called in to co-create not just the team, but what would become the Marvel Universe.
The Fantastic Four is a super hero/ adventuring group consisting of four people with extraordinary powers bestowed on them by cosmic rays that washed over them: super intelligent Reed Richards aka Mr Fantastic, who has a stretchy, malleable body, the powerful Sue Richards, aka The Invisible Woman (though in this particular collection is Invisible Girl) who can turn invisible and create invisible constructs, pilot Ben Grimm, aka the Thing, a man with a literal rocky exterior and young hothead, John Storm, the Human Torch, who can burst into flames and fly.
These four are essentially explorers (like DC's Challengers of the Unknown, a comic Kirby worked on) but end up in situations where they have to use their powers to perform acts of heroism.
Unfortunately for Lee and Kirby's greatest creation, the FF has been cinematically mistreated over the last few years with three films that contained some gross miscasting, bad storytelling and even just daft realisations of classic comic imagery. Actually, Galactus from Rise of the Silver Surfer is probably one of the top three badly realised comic to movie bad guys ever (he's like a giant cosmic fart), the other's being Green Lantern's undulating vomitus, baby faced Parallax and Doctor Strange's pan-dimensional burp version of Dormammu… seriously, three of comicdom's greatest villains reduced to various excretions.
These have of course, caused Marvel to stop production of the comic after several awesome relaunches by major writing and artistic talents! For me, the Marvel universe is a lesser place without Reed, Sue, Ben and Johnny, and even though Johnny is now a member of the Inhumans and the Thing has been a Guardian of the Galaxy and an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (well, kind of), it's not enough.
I impatiently await their return…
Story: Stan Lee's writing of this period may seem hokey now, but it was revolutionary at the time. His depiction of a family in crisis as they become more than adventurers, and their subsequent battles as they get used to acting as a fighting team and become accustomed to their powers is wonderful, and the jargon is a fun read too. This collection sees the FF get their powers, and then come up against the threats of the Mole Man, Skrulls, Miracle Man, Doctor Doom, the Sub-Mariner, Kurrgo…. and many more! It's a roller coaster of fun which has time travel and adventure of all types. The best thing about this collection is that it kept some of the little mistakes made when these comics were first published, like when the first time Sue, the Invisible Girl, becomes 'invinsible'…
Art: Jack Kirby is my favourite comic artist of all time, but I prefer his work from the 70s to his sixties work. That's not to say this isn't amazingly detailed art, it's just not as much for me as what he was doing in OMAC, 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Demon, which was blockier, but for me more dynamic.
WIRIA: It where the comics we read today come from, so how could I not revisit it regularly. Revolutionary.
Fantastic 4 (2015) Review
August 2, 2017 by J.R.	in To Watch Pile and tagged fantastic four, human torch, invisible woman, jack kirby, josh trank, Marvel, marvel comics, Mr fantastic, thing	| Leave a comment
If he had still been alive, comics legend and creative genius Jack Kirby would have been 100 this month, so to celebrate a centenary of 'The King', the To Watch Pile is going to commemorate his creative output with a selection of reviews of Kirby's creations that have made it to screen.
Thank you, Jack Kirby, for the amazing characters you created or co-created: Captain America, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Etrigan the Demon, Darkseid, Groot, Kamandi, OMAC, etc etc.
The comics community became a lesser place with your passing, and we owe you everything.
Fantastic 4 (2015)
Film: You think it wouldn't be hard, and yet for some reason, production companies seem to find it difficult to do 100% of the time. I don't get how writers or directors of films based on comics (or books for that matter) can have a problem making a good superhero movie, and I especially don't understand how someone can take an established franchise like the Fantastic Four, the cornerstone of the entire Marvel Universe, part of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's literary and artistic legacy, and screw it up.
… and it's been done by more than one creative team too. I can only imagine this means there is far too much ego involved, as what Stan and Jack created all those years ago was perfect. Sure our knowledge about science has extended so we know that travelling through 'cosmic rays' (do those things even exist) won't change us into mutated heroes with the powers to stretch, turn invisible, burst into flames or become a massive stony thing, but surely with solid foundations, something strong can be built
Do I really need to go to far into the origins of the comic? Maybe a brief word: the original FF comic told of a scientist, Reed Richards, his pilot friend Ben Grimm, his girlfriend Sue Storm and her brother Johnny who steal a rocket to go into space but the experiment backfired, and the four of them end up with superpowers which they use to further their experiments, explore alternate universes and of course, fight against villains who may step in front of them, like Mole Man, Namor and Doctor Doom.
This film takes the core elements and both updates it socially and scientifically which is a great idea. In this film, Reed Richards (Miles Teller) has discovered, as a teenager, a way to send things to an alternate dimension. He and his friend Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell) enter the device in the school science fair where they are visited by Dr. Franklin Storm (Reg E. Cathey) and his adopted daughter Sue (Kate Mara) who take Reed as a student at his school/ think tank as he has solved a problem they had with creating a dimensional gate.
They are almost completely finished the gate, with the help of Storm's natural son Johnny (Michael B. Jordan) and ne'er do well Victor Von Doom (Toby Kebbell) when the group funding the project decide to hand it over to NASA before they can send a human occupant. Johnny, Victor, Reed, who insists on bringing Ben, get drunk one night and decide to use the device first, but it has desperately horrible results.
Kate Mara as Sue Storm
First the planet in the other dimension starts to fall apart, and Doom is lost, and upon the return home, the rest of them, including Sue who is still on earth, are irradiated by the alternate dimensions energy, and they end up with powers: Sue can become invisible, Reed can stretch to impossible lengths, Johnny can set himself on fire (and is resistant to it) and Ben has become a horrible stone creature.
The government starts experiments on them and using them for secret missions, but not before Reed escapes, trying to find a cure for their 'diseases'.
He is recaptured and they return to the other dimension where they find that Doom is now in complete control, and wants to destroy Earth…. It will the FF over come Doom's evil scheme?
I'd like to compliment this film on a couple of things. The production design is fantastic. The whole film looks 'realistic' and even the alternate dimension looks like something real, and not an over coloured, over saturated CGI experiment gone crazy, like in Doctor Strange for example.
Another thing I liked about this film was it treated a Fantastic Four story as a story about science and exploration, and not about superheroes. If the FF never had gained superpowers, they still would have been scientists and explorers, and that is the core of the group.
I liked the fact that even though this is a Marvel comics film, it's not a Marvel Cinematic Universe film (it's not produced by Disney, is why) which means that it doesn't have the weight that all Marvel films have now. You miss one Marvel film and half the time you won't know what's going on or who some of the characters are in the next one, which is a clever way to make sure consumers inhale all your products. This you can sit down and watch and walk away from… and you probably will.
Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm
The last thing I like about it was the modernising of the family dynamics, in having Sue being a Caucasian adopted into an African American family is barely even dealt with, and that was cool. I have no real problem with characters having their 'race' changed if there is a story device to it, and not just for social constructs and approval. In actual fact, I don't care about a person's race in playing a character as long as they play it well. Did this part of the story need to be updated for today? Probably not, but it works.
A little bit of updating is fine, but another issue I have with some comic movies is the need to adapt the villain into the heroes origin. I didn't like it in Tim Burton's Batman, and I don't like it here where Doctor Doom was merged into the FF's origin, much like they felt the need to do in the previous incarnation of the characters. What is really frustrating is that with the change here with pan-dimensional travel, the door was open to use a completely different villain from the FF's history, Annihilus, instead of retreading Doom's ground.
The problem with this film though is the pacing. The build up should be slow and deliberate, which for either a first film in a franchise or a science fiction film is ok as the 'physics' of the universe in which the main characters exist needs to be established, but this build up needs to have a powerhouse payoff… unfortunately FF doesn't only have weird pacing throughout the film, with a lot of false starts, it also just… stops. The big battle against the antagonist just finishes with no real payoff: it feels like they ran out of money or something and just said' yeah, that'll do, pack it up', which is sad because there is SO much potential.
I feel this film commits the worst crime a film can commit: it's a missed opportunity.
Score: **1/2
Fantastic 4 Australian Bluray menu screen
Format: This film was reviewed on the Australian region B Bluray, which runs for approximately 100 minutes and is presented in an impeccable 2.39:1 video with a matching DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 soundtrack.

The disc opens with an auto play of a trailer of Maze Runner: The Scotch Trials, before going to the main menu.
The main extras include:
Powering Up: Superpowers of the Fantastic Four shows the effects of the powers of all the FF, and how the accident caused all their powers to manifest differently. Basically it explains outside the confines of the film why they all got different powers.
The Quantum Gates looks at the special effects development of the portal to the other dimension.
Planet Zero sees how the cats and effects people made a convincing alternate dimensional world.
The Score interviews director Josh Trank and composer Marco Beltrami about the soundtrack for the film.
There is also concept art for Planet Zero and the Quantum Gates but if I want to look at still pictures, I'll buy a book. No sale.
Score: ***1/2
WISIA: I like the look of this film, but the pacing is all over the place and it just doesn't sit well. If I watch it again it will be just for the production design and Kate Mara.

Non-Residence
is a term used in Church law to describe the act of not residing in the local precincts where the duties of the incumbent of an ecclesiastical office require his presence. The early Church passed special laws against non- residence. Justinian ordained that no bishop shall be absent for more than a year without the formal sanction of the emperor; and no bishop shall leave his diocese on pretense of coming to court. The Council of Sardica prohibited episcopal absence for more than three weeks, unless for very weighty reasons; and if the bishop have an estate in another diocese, he may, during three weeks, go there and collect his rents, provided on Sunday he perform worship in the church near which his lands lie. (See RESIDENCE).
The Council of Agde, yet more stringent with the inferior clergy, sentenced to suspension from communion for three years a presbyter or deacon who should be absent for three weeks. During the mediaeval period, and especially during the unhappy contests of the Western schism, great abuses prevailed. The whole substance of the legislation of the Roman Church on the subject, however, is compressed in the decrees of the Council of Trent, which are mainly contained in the decrees of the twenty-second and following sessions, "On Reformation." The decrees of the council regard all Church dignitaries, and others charged with the cure of souls. Without entering into the details, it will suffice to say that for all the penalty of absence, without just cause and due permission, consists in the forfeiture of revenues, in a proportion partly varying with the nature of the benefice, partly adjusted according to the duration of the absence. For each class, moreover, a certain time is fixed, beyond which, during twelve months, absence cannot be permitted. The duty is imposed on persons named in the law of reporting to their ecclesiastical superiors cases of prolonged absence. The same legislation has been confirmed by most of the recent concordats, and is enforced by the civil law of each country. In England, the penalties for non-residence are regulated by 1 and 2 Vict. cap. 106. Under this act, an incumbent absenting himself without the bishop's license for a period exceeding three, and not exceeding six months, forfeits one third of the annual income; if the absence exceed six, and does not exceed eight months, one half is forfeited; and if it be of the whole year, three fourths of the income are forfeited. The persons excused from the obligation of residence by the canon law are sick persons, persons engaged in teaching the theological sciences in approved places of study, and canons in immediate attendance upon the bishop ("canonici a latere"), who ought not to exceed two in number. By the act of 1 and 2 Vict. cap. 106, heads of colleges at Oxford and Cambridge, the wardens of Durham University, and the head-masters of Eton, Westminster, and Winchester schools are generally exempted, and temporary exemptions from residence are recognized in other cases, which it would be tedious to detail. In the Roman Catholic Church, besides the general legislation, most of the provincial and diocesan statutes contain special provisions on the subject of non-residence. This legislation Would seem superfluous for Christian men, for it must be granted that nothing can reflect greater disgrace on a clergyman of a parish than to receive the emoluments without ever visiting his parishioners, and being unconcerned for the welfare of their souls; yet this in England has been a reigning evil, and proves that there are too many who care little about the flock, so that they may but live at ease.

Ferri spent the majority of his career at Nantes where he played 288 league games, winning the French Championship in 1995. Ferri was Houllier's first signing, arriving only two weeks after he was left in sole charge of the team following the departure of Roy Evans. Ferri had endured a nightmare spell in Turkey after signing a pay-as-you-play deal with Istanbulspor a few months earlier. The president of the club told the coach to leave Ferri out of the squad, no matter if he had performed well or not, simply to avoid paying him so Ferri was happy when Houllier came calling. "In Turkey players get big money for appearances. We were still allowed to train but because we were not playing we didn't have the same motivation," Ferri told British media on his arrival. The defensive midfielder was called "The Machine" because of his work-rate. 'Ferri Across the Mersey' the headlines read as he arrived injured as cover for Paul Ince in midfield. Ferri finally made his debut three months later in a 2-1 defeat at Chelsea replacing Ince early on in second half. His second substitute appearance came in the penultimate game of the season, another defeat, this time at Sheffield Wednesday. Ferri played roughly 50 minutes for Liverpool in eight months but left for a similar fee to second division Sochaux so no harm done.

Last night a Solemn Requiem Mass was celebrated at Pine Bluff, WI, at St. Mary's Church for the repose of the soul of the Extraordinary Ordinary… who shall wear that mantle in the future?… His Excellency, Most Rev. Robert C. Morlino, the late Bishop of Madison.
Priests from the Society of Jesus the Priest and of the Diocese were sacred ministers.
The Mass was preceded by the singing of Vespers from the Office of the Dead. The pastor, Fr. Heilman presided.
The evening continued with Solemm Mass.
After the Mass and before the absolution of the catafalque, yours truly gave the sermon.
When our loved one's die, we must avoid canonizing them. We should pray for the dead, even when we are confident about the state of their souls. Always ask God for mercy and have Masses said for them and try to gain indulgences for them.
The whole world is watching this transition in Madison. Here is a tweet about a Mass for Bp. Morlino in the Diocese of Nellore, India.

That Mass in India is a great statement about the universality and oneness of the Church!
That frontal… Okay, maybe it is cheesy, but it is lovingly so.
More to the point… If you could get a durable material, and if you could print it out in a less "photographic" style, the concept of printing out a fabric frontal is not a bad one!
Even the TVs in Tim Hortons in Canada had something on them about this.
Your sermon was one of the most beautiful! I will admit I was sobbing and wishing there had been a tissue alert as I was entirely without one. I was so hoping to hear about his deathbed moments and was beyond grateful and overjoyed to hear he had received Extreme Unction and the Apostolic Pardon (not that I doubted he would have been provided for). We too will continue to pray for his soul and for the future of our diocese. May God bless us with a holy Bishop.
A question: what can the cultus look like for someone, such as the good Extra-Ordinary, who has passed on to his reward, with good thought among the faithful who knew him that he was saintly, but who has not been canonized? Certainly, not neglecting to pray for the repose of his soul, but at what point can we also conditionally pray to him for his intercession?
When someone is canonized by Rome, that is just raising the individual universally to the altars. It is the making of a local cultus universal. It is not a transition period between when people may not pray to someone to intercede to when people may intercede. In order for there to be a universal cultus, there needs to be a local cultus.
The question of whether or not those in purgatory can hear petitions and the additional question of whether or not they can then intercede is not a settled question. However, two things: It is by grace that those in heaven may hear our prayers and so it is only a question of grace that those in purgatory might. Secondly, those who have passed beyond this life are not bound by space-time. For me, it is sometime after 12pm on Friday December 7th, 2018. That is not the time nor date in heaven nor purgatory. A pray from earth today may be received "tomorrow" in heaven and acted upon yesterday on earth. Think of it this way — even if those in purgatory cannot answer petitions now, they will just have a stack of petitions for them to work on when they exit purgatory.
So, in my humble opinion, for the Extraordinary Ordinary — pray for his soul in purgatory (as he implied, he has a long road ahead of him) and, if you are so moved, pray that he might intercede when God allows him to do such.
–As for the topic of this post, thank you Fr. Z for keeping all of your readership informed and allowing us to have some small participation in grieving and praying for this great Bishop. It is personally incredibly moving.
Boy! That is one heck of an antependium! Bp. Morlino loved the Indian priests serving in his diocese.
I'll be praying for the bishop and you, Father Z, in Masses December 8 and 9.
I believe there is something about not directly praying to someone who is not yet a Blessed or a Saint, but rather praying that God may display His favor for that person's cause through an asked-for intention.

16 June 2008 – Dubbo to Sydney « Travelling in an RV called "Blue Snoopy"
We set the alarm for 6.00am to ensure we would arrive back in Sydney early in the afternoon. We departed just after 7.30am with the intention to simply drive home doing the prescribed speed limit.
We passed through Wellington and stopped at Orange for morning tea. The amount of traffic on the road had increased substantially and we were now experiencing the annoying problem that the majority of drivers don't like being behind a truck and need to pass irrespective of the speed required or safety issues. It also never ceases to amaze us how "P" plate drivers think they are invincible and are allowed to do any speed they desire. We were passed by a lady in her early 20's who, besides tailgating the vehicle in front of us after passing the motorhome, was not to be seen again after she finally passed the car in front of us. Where are the police when needed?
We experienced rain just after Bathurst, stopped at Lithgow so "He" could have a nature stop and then experienced some delay due to a motor vehicle accident near Hartley. The trip over the Blue Mountains was smooth and we finally arrived in Sydney close to the expected arrival time.
In 26 days we have travelled just over 7000 kilometres, experienced 2 days that could be deemed as being wet, had the fortune of meeting a lot of interesting people, experienced the wonders of the Flinders Ranges and done the whole thing in a safe manner. The Iveco has performed flawlessly and has done everything we have asked of it. Whilst we have a couple of minor issues to correct with the conversion part of the motorhome, the Sunliner Odyssey has provided us with comfortable accommodation. The planning of the trip was generally sound and the distances chosen to travel were very manageable.
We have now seen a large slice of this wonderful country and the next decision will be between going north (Northern Queensland via the coast) or to travel south to Melbourne and then cross for a couple of weeks in Tasmania. Watch this space.
I've seen Blue Snoopy advertised for sale.
I was wondering if you had yet calculated fuel efficiency details for this motor home.
Have you decided to go to a larger vehicle?
We would like to know your thoughts on the performance of your Iveco truck.
We are thinking of purchasing a Sunliner Motorhome with an Iveco truck. Would greatly appreciate any feedback you may have in relation to either.

Listen: Patriots, Jags, Pats discussed on First Things First
"What they did do, which Houston was not able to do that. We four into the patriots is a say to the pats, we will. Not let gronk beat us again, it's kinda the patriots thing. What do you do best? We want to take it away. We won't let grunk beat us. Let see what Jacob Hollister can do. Let's see what James white can do. Let's see. Philip door set can do and the Texans couldn't do it the week before gronk dominated that game for the patriots and lead them to the victory this week without gronk you all of a sudden saw pets team, oh, this is where they're missing out on. This is where they miss Brandin cooks. This is where maybe they missed Dion Lewis. And I brought up the Texans game couple times just because we talked after week one. We don't know what week, one games who they mean more about. Do they mean more about the one that team that lost after you saw how Houston played this week against a Blaine gabbert led titans team. You start even to look at the patriots and week one and that victory little bit differently. And you see the Jags who really both sides of the ball had an excellent game plan and executed. As well as you could have hoped for them, Nick Minchin the water Seaver is is there anything that stuck out for you that actually concerns you about this patriots team after what you saw? Or was this just a loss and they move on from it. It's just a law shift to spread it around the Jags Ray would take advantage of the offensive line. You know, they were not dominant. If you look at running the ball, the patriots long game was fifteen yards. Passing the ball, long game, twenty nine yard. So we can sit there and blame it on the wide receivers, but we don't expect to be spectacular. No, that's who Tom Brady has. That's the people. Now we give them credit when they do well against Texans oldish spread the ball out. Philip Dorsett had a career high end catches, no, this is who they are. They miss adamant because with gronk being limited and they didn't get the ball to the running backs out of the backfield as much. But you have to give Jacksonville credit. They outside why receivers for New England. We're not a threat against this Jags d and the while it doesn't show up in the box. Score because the Jags I think just had a couple of sacks and three other quarterback hurries to Chris's point about the offensive line that those numbers are where they are because Brady so good at getting it out quickly. But he was under duress. They were collapsing the pocket quickly. And so some of those offense of line questions we had for the pats coming into the season. They're great, offensive line coach, Dante scar Nekia. Notwithstanding those you started to see, okay, that's why there was a level of concern at their left tackle position. That's why there was a level of concern. Now, most teams don't have Jacksonville front and clay Campbell out their dominating people. But you saw a lot of the things that we were like about the patriots rear their head in this this week. Now, with that said, they get Detroit Miami and then that'll men's back. So at least on the receiving core, some of it will be better couple of weeks from now. Jacksonville Jaguars are to know as they beat the patriots in week two. We'll talk much more about that coming up. But on the other side, how was Dak Prescott able to right the ship with a win over the New York Giants. Next on first things. First. We're gonna get to Dak in the Cowboys in a minute, but first Jaguars ride receiver. Keelan Cole makes an unbelievable one handed cats watch it again. I mean this rampant in the NFL see that is the best one of the year. Yeah, that's that's the best one of the year. I mean, that's OB j. going down to sideline. It'll be Jay's. Now the ball's traveling furthest velocity. The ball is harder, but that was nice and then went on to have a great game. Absolutely. I mean, I laughed at the idea that he could be your number one receiver. He looked like it yesterday, credit to him Vikings Packers. Kirk cousins to Adam, feeling twenty two yards look at. It's not eighty million, but that's right.."

The best place to start with Ionic is our [documentation page](http://ionicframework.com/docs/).

Note: __Ionic is Alpha software__ and currently best supports iOS 6+ and Android 4.1+ (though we are working on Android performance improvements). Ionic is changing quickly as we work towards the beta.

# What is Ionic?

Ionic is the open source HTML5 Mobile Framework for building amazing, cross-platform hybrid native apps with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.

We built Ionic because we wanted a framework that focused on building hybrid native apps, rather than mobile websites. We wanted this framework to be obsessive about great design and performance. A framework that left the past behind and focused on the future where mobile devices could make HTML5 feel native.

It's important to realize that Ionic is not a replacement for frameworks used for building mobile web apps. There are a lot
of great solutions that work well for websites, like [jQuery Mobile](http://jquerymobile.com/).

Ionic is also not a good solution if you need to support older generation devices. Our [compatibility](http://ionicframework.com/docs/#browser-support) *starts* at iOS 6 and Android 4.1. We will never support versions earlier than those. This is a framework for the future. Learn more, [Where does the Ionic Framework fit in?](http://ionicframework.com/blog/where-does-the-ionic-framework-fit-in/)

## Quick Start

To start using ionic, you have two options: copy over the built JS and CSS files, or
use the `ionic` tool ([ionic-cli](https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli)) which can be installed through npm:

```bash
$ sudo npm install -g ionic
```

Then, you can start a new ionic project by running:

```bash
$ ionic start myproject
```

### Manual Start

The source files are in the `dist/` folder. You can just grab the `dist/js/ionic.js`, `dist/js/ionic-angular.js`, and `dist/ionic.css` files and
you'll be good to go. For most cases, you'll need AngularJS as well, which we bundle a current 1.2.x version in `dist/js/angular`.

## Running examples

You will first have to install dependencies by running:

    npm install

Make sure that you have [npm](https://github.com/isaacs/npm) already installed.

Ionic comes with many interesting examples showing the power of the framework. To
check them out, navigate into the source folder, and start a web server. The easiest
way is to use Python:

    python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

    node_modules/grunt-cli/bin/grunt watch

    http://localhost:8000/examples/starters/

    http://localhost:8000/test/

There's no doubt that a website hoping to do business has to invest in and have some knowledge of online marketing if they expect to be successful. The sheer amount of information going live on the internet every moment can mean that despite authenticity and quality, not taking advantage of online marketing can bury your website in obscurity when it can be making money.
Internet marketing is a broad term that branches off into various methods based on what aspect, design, advertising, sales or content, it focuses on.
In terms of the customer reach it can achieve, internet marketing is cost-efficient. For instance, the most straightforward strategy, Search Engine Marketing (SEM) involves advertising by placing banners on third party websites or paying for placement in search engine results or contextual advertising. Though paid for, it works out to be a fraction of conventional advertisements.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is arguably the most popular of internet marketing methods that requires studying Search Engine Result Page (SERP), how search engines work and how and what users search for. This information is then used to boost the website's visibility. It differs from Search Engine Marketing (SEM) significantly as the focus is on enhancing visibility on "natural" search results.
Sending emails as a marketing strategy is second to search engine marketing as the most effective method. Especially if customers opt in to the service, then businesses that send out emails find that the results are quite beneficial. It's possible to track and gain high return on investment as most customers that receive and check personalised emails sent to them with product information or new promotions are likely to respond.
Another method to make websites more visible is through Social Media Optimisation (SMO). A company's reputation facilitates popularity, especially online and SMO is the online equivalent of good word-of-mouth. SMO is promotion through social media sites like Twitter and Facebook and is user driven. Increased interaction with customers also provides better insight into customer opinions and improves communication.
Content generation operates, to an extent, on the principles of Inbound Marketing, where the website is "found" by the users. Content on websites can be information on the product, interesting articles and news related to the product that draws customers. It fosters interactivity, especially if it's a blog, thus making links more important, particularly in the case of Google's algorithms.
Affiliate Marketing works on the basis of commissions for websites that refer customers to the business. It tends to overlap a few other marketing strategies as websites that affiliate in turn use the same methods of SEO and social media optimization.
There are quite a few factors that go into deciding what online marketing strategy is suitable or workable for a business, the most important of which is the business model of your business. What works for other website may not work for yours, so looking at similar websites and experimenting to study the results of different strategies would be a smart start to implementing online marketing for your website.
