Welcome to the latest (and last?) edition of Super Blog Team Up. My fellow contributors and I will be looking at various death-themed comic book topics, both literal or figurative.
In late 1999, Marvel Comics published the six issue miniseries Galactus the Devourer, written by Louise Simonson, penciled by Jon J. Muth & John Buscema, and inked by Bill Sienkiewicz. The miniseries culminated with the stunning demise of Galactus.
Galactus and his herald the Silver Surfer were introduced in 1966 in Fantastic Four #48-50 by the superstar team of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby & Joe Sinnott. Galactus was akin to a sentient force of nature, a god-like being who consumed the molten cores of planets for sustenance. Finding these worlds for Galactus was the sleek Silver Surfer. Whenever he could the Surfer would lead Galactus to lifeless or primitive planets, but from time to time Galactus would end up feeding upon a world occupied by sentient beings, resulting in their deaths.
After several years the Silver Surfer finally escaped his exile, and was once again free to roam the stars. Eventually he returned to Earth, where he found Alicia mourning the apparent deaths of the Fantastic Four. The Surfer and Alicia fell in love.
As the first issue of Galactus the Devourer opens, the Surfer and Alicia are still together. The Fantastic Four have recently returned. Ben Grimm, the Thing, is perturbed to see Alicia, his longtime girlfriend, in the Surfer's arms, but is doing his best to respect her decision. And then Galactus comes a-calling.
The devourer of worlds has gone mad. No longer desiring the energies of planets, he is deliberately seeking out worlds occupied by sentient beings, consuming their very life forces. In a short time billions have already died, and Galactus' now-insatiable hunger leaves many fearing that all life in the universe will soon be extinct.
Galactus is a character who was undoubtedly impressive and awe-inspiring when first introduced in 1966. However, over the next three and a half decades he was brought back repeatedly, and much of his mystique diminished. In her miniseries Simonson restores much of the grandeur and menace to Galactus, once again showing him as an unstoppable, unrelenting force.
Simonson also uses this miniseries to examine the consequences of an earlier storyline from Fantastic Four by John Byrne, where a dying Galactus was saved by Reed Richards. Subsequently the restored devourer consumed the Skrull home world. Richards was placed on trial for genocide by a galactic tribunal headed up by Lilandra, former ruler of the Shi'ar Empire. Reed was eventually found not guilty after Eternity, the personification of the universe himself, demonstrated that Galactus had a vital role to play in the existence of reality itself.
Now in the present, with Galactus out of control, destroying planets by the score, thoughts inevitably turn back to those earlier events, with several people wondering if Reed Richards should have let Galactus die after all. Richards himself, although seemingly not regretting his earlier actions, nevertheless devotes himself fully to finding a way to stopping Galactus, even if it means the devourer's demise.
Unfortunately the Fantastic Four and the Avengers are unable to even hold back the maddened Galactus. The Silver Surfer is forced to make a truly Faustian bargain: he must once again serve as Galactus' herald, leading him to other inhabited worlds in order to guarantee Earth's safety.
Searching for an alternative source of sustenance, the Surfer encounters his one-time love Mantis, who he has not seen in several years. The pair tries to divert Galactus to a planet rich in primitive animal life, but Galactus angrily rejects this option, instead consuming a world the Surfer attempted to hide, one inhabited by gentle telepathic plant beings. Mantis sadly announces that as long as the Surfer serves Galactus she must consider him an enemy, and departs to warn the rest of the universe.
The Surfer himself is forced to admit that he has absolutely no hope of reasoning with the insane Galactus, or even of directing him towards less-developed worlds. Desperate, the Surfer leads his master towards the home world of the Shi'ar, hoping that the most powerful, advanced space civilization in the known universe will find a way to destroy the devourer. He finds the Shi'ar expecting him, having been forewarned by Mantis, and is forced to fight his way to the capital. At last he is able to convince Lilandra, who has once again been restored to the Shi'ar throne, to accept his help.
Alicia, who previously acquired a suit of alien armor, has been trailing the Surfer. Witnessing all of these events, Alicia returns to Earth, informing the FF and Avengers of what has taken place. The two teams rocket off to the Shi'ar Empire, with Reed Richards continuing work on a plan he has formulated to stop Galactus. Lilandra is skeptical that Richards, the man who once saved Galactus, will now help to stop him. Desperation, however, wins out, and Lilandra places her forces at the Earth scientist's disposal.
Richards directs both the FF and Avengers, not to mention the entirety of the Shi'ar military, to attack the approaching Galactus. Not even this is enough to defeat the immensely powerful Galactus, with the alliance barely managing to hold him at bay.
In fact, Reed knew that there was little hope of defeating Galactus by force. The attack is a distraction that enables the Surfer to penetrate Galactus' immense World-Ship with a device constructed by Richards. The device reprograms the World-Ship's systems. Whereas once the World-Ship systems converted the molten cores of planets into energy that Galactus could feed on, now the Surfer is able to turn those systems onto Galactus himself.
The dying Galactus is momentarily restored to sanity and sadly addresses his former herald. Galactus admits that he foresaw that one day he would go mad and lose all control of his hunger. One of the reasons why Galactus created the Silver Surfer was because he recognized that when the time came the Surfer would possess the nobility, the power and the knowledge to find a way to stop the devourer of worlds. Galactus now warns that something else is coming, "a greater horror" that threatens the universe. With that last pronouncement Galactus is transformed into pure energy, forming into a new star.
Later, on the Shi'ar home world, amidst the celebrations, both the Silver Surfer and Reed Richards cannot hide their concerns. If Galactus did indeed have a purpose integral to existence, then what will the universe become without him?
In an interview given at the time the Galactus the Devourer miniseries was released, Louise Simonson revealed that she had definite plans for a follow-up story, one which would explore what exactly was Galactus' crucial role in the cosmic scheme of things. It would also reveal the menace that had driven Galactus mad. Regrettably she did not have the opportunity to write this follow-up miniseries.
Eventually, two years later in the pages of the regular Fantastic Four series, another writer explored these questions, and Galactus was restored to life to defeat the "greater horror" that he prophesized.
Even though Galactus' demise was temporary (and, really, no one ever stays dead forever in the Marvel universe) the miniseries by Simonson remains powerful. It is a wonderfully epic cosmic saga that also contains many intimate moments of characterization, especially in the exploration of the relationship between the Surfer and Alicia.
Galactus the Devourer is also effective in its compactness. Simonson's story is ambitious and sweeping, but it is told in full within the six issue miniseries. No tie-in books or decompression; just a self-contained, complete story. Marvel really could use a lot more "events" like this, rather than the bloated company-wide crossovers that have predominated in the two decades.
The artwork on the miniseries is outstanding. The majority of Jon J. Muth's work in the comic book biz has been on fantasy and horror titles; this is one of his rare forays into superheroes. His work on the first chapter looks much different from "mainstream" Marvel comics, giving the opening of the storyline a haunting, eerie tone.
The remainder of the miniseries was laid out / penciled by longtime Marvel artist John Buscema, who was a superb storyteller. Buscema commented on more than one occasion that he disliked drawing superheroes, but he undoubtedly was great at it. In the late 1960s he did awe-inspiring pencils on the first ongoing Silver Surfer title, rendering wondrous space opera and horror material. Over the next three decades Buscema would return to character from time to time, always doing great work.
I believe Galactus the Devourer was Buscema's last time drawing the Silver Surfer before the legendary artist passed away in January 2002. His work here is wonderful and breathtaking. The final issue is stunning, with the Fantastic Four, Avengers, Silver Surfer, Mantis, Lilandra, Gladiator, the Starjammers, and the entire Shi'ar Starfleet in desperate battle against Galactus.
Of course I also enjoyed Buscema's depiction of Mantis, one of my all time favorite characters. He drew her on a couple of occasions in the past, and always rendered her as an alluring figure.
The talented Bill Sienkiewicz provides inks / finishes for the entire miniseries. His work is wonderfully atmospheric and expressionistic. I love the collaboration between Buscema and Sienkiewicz. Buscema embodied the traditional house style of Marvel in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, whereas Sienkiewicz was responsible for some of the most experimental, groundbreaking artwork published by Marvel in the 1980s. The blending of these two distinct talents resulted in incredibly striking, effective art.
Nearly two decades after its original publication, Galactus the Devourer remains an effective, enjoyable story with stunning artwork.
I hope everyone will take the time to read the other contributors to The Death of Super Blog Team Up. Here is the full roster. Enjoy!


I love spending my time in luxurious surroundings such as gorgeous restaurants. This is also why I switched from the dingy NY Health and Racket Club on 56th St. to Gravity at Le Parker Meridien. The space is just so grand that it makes me feel important and like I'm living large when I walk through this lobby to go to my gym.
Hanging out at the gym lounge. Free fruits and refreshments are served. You can watch other people sweat their butts off, or you can watch TV. TV is usually my pick. If I have extra time I sometimes take the elevator up to the lobby of the hotel. They have really comfortable big chairs in there as well and you can do people watching and spot a celebrity or two every now and then. This is THAT kind of hotel. Oh, and 50 Cent works out at my gym. Saw him once with his trainer. What a terrible workout he has. And by terrible I mean a killer workout, because I would die if I had to go through it.
My sporty business look: black suit with black sneakers. Looks horrible together, but oh so comfy. I can run to the gym fast and back to work. So it is very practical outfit as well.

Attack at Turkey's nightclub leaves 39 dead
Posted by: Team | NewsPatrolling January 2, 2017	in Crime, World Comments Off on Attack at Turkey's nightclub leaves 39 dead
Over 39 people died and 40 were seriously injured and 4 critical after revelers were attacked a nightclub in Turkey a little after midnight on the first day of the new year. The ISIS is suspected to be behind these attacks.
The shooting took place in a nightclub called Reina in Istanbul's Ortakoy area at about 1:30 am. The popular nightclub is extremely popular amongst locals and foreigners and is located on the banks of the Bosphorus. The attacker is yet to be captured and a manhunt is on the way for the same. Of all the people who were attacked, 16 were believed to be foreigners.
The Governor of Istanbul Vasip Sahin said the attacker first killed a policeman and a civilian before entering the nightclub. Reina was said to have about 700 people at the time of the attack. Most of the people at the nightclub jumped into the water to escape the attack. The Turkish security agencies have declared a media blackout on the attack.
The attacker was believed to be in the costume of a Santa Claus at the time of the attack. This helped him evade suspicion easily. The Turkish authorities believed that there was only one gunman involved.

Supporting the exchange of Myaamia artistic skills, intellectual ideas, and cultural knowledge among Myaamia people.
The Myaamia Foundation has been hard at work over the past year! We'd like to share with you what's new with us.
Since its inception, the Myaamia Foundation was conceptualized as an institution whose sole mission was to help fund activities of the Myaamia Center [www.myaamiacenter.org]. Upon the very generous endowment to the Myaamia Center by the Miami Nation of Oklahoma, we realized that the Foundation was not needed in the same capacity as it once was. We realized that this was an opportunity to reconceptualize our mission to more directly impact and interact with the Myaamia community.
Our new mission is focused solely on becoming a nexus point matching people, skills, ideas, and resources (both knowledge and funding) in order to create language and cultural projects to benefit the Miami people. We do this through awarding grants to projects and by providing a place for people to connect.
For example, say you want to make a children's book based on a Miami story that is written in both Miami and English. Say there is someone else in the community who has always wanted to contribute but didn't know how to do so, but is a fantastic graphic artist. Well, we'd be a hub where the two of you could connect. You could receive cultural and language guidance from the Myaamia Center and maybe you'd receive a grant from the foundation to complete the project.
Or, maybe you want to have a summer youth program for Miami kids, but you need guidance on the curriculum. We could help by connecting you to the right folks and by possibly awarding money to help finance this.
The Myaamia Foundation seeks to further the creation, dispersal, and usage of the knowledge of our history, culture, language, and artistic expression, all the while building and strengthening our community ties.
Please take a moment to take a look at our grant applications and also see what kind of exciting projects we have already funded. Remember, we can't do this good work without you! Please consider donating your time and/or your talent!

The course will culminate with a police-style qualification course. Estimated ammo count: 500 rounds.
Prerequisite: basic understanding of firearms safety.

A sturdy belt, to support the above.
Billed cap or other brimmed headwear (not red).
At least 500 rounds of decent quality, reliable ammunition. Range ammunition (FMJ, etc.) is fine. You do not need to use premium self defense ammo for this course.
Clothing suitable for the weather and the range. If necessary, we will finish our range work in whatever conditions exist at class time, live-fire classes run rain or shine, mud may be involved.
Raingear plus a light jacket and sweater or sweatshirt (mornings and evenings can be cold, even in Florida).
Note taking materials.You will need to take LOTS of notes. We'll explain why when you get here. If you wish to use a laptop computer or a tablet, that is OK. Audio or video recording of the class is not allowed.

Many of our range locations have portable toilets, most do not have running water. For your comfort you might want to bring wipes, disposable washcloths and / or hand sanitizer.
Please bring your own lunches, snacks, beverages etc. We have a "working lunch" in all classes.

Also remember that many of our classes are 10 hour days so if you need another meal in that amount of time please bring it. Bring water, while we do provide water at all of our locations, it never hurts to bring some more. We teach in many locations and cannot guarantee the comfort of the chairs, if that might be an issue for you feel free to bring a cushion to sit on (We like this one).
If you have any questions ask the host of the class you are taking.

School board meets to finalize school closures
Natasha Menard
Assistant Superintendent, Dr Devin Vodicka, considers concerns of the School Board members
Josh Lee, Shon Cagungun, Staff Writers
Wednesday night, members of the district school board met with representatives of a special committee at the Cultural Arts Center to determine the fate of CVA and Buena Vista Elementary for the upcoming school year.
Despite the similarity of the situation of the two schools, the outcomes couldn't have been more different. After hearing the committee's analysis and a few open speeches from the community, it was decided by a 5-0 vote that CVA will be condensed onto the Carlsbad High campus.
Several people voiced concerns about the closure of CVA in the upcoming school year. Chief among these was the fear that the CVA credit recovery program would fall short with a reduced staff and smaller learning environment.
"The vast majority of CVA students are there for academic or credit recovery reasons," Assistant Superintendent Dr. Vodicka said.
However, the committee succeeded in convincing the board that not only can the credit recovery be maintained, but so can the entire school's culture and identity. This would mean the continuation of CVA's trimester system and alternative learning styles.
"We think it's possible to run a trimester system at CHS as a school within a school," Vodicka said.
In addition, the schedule of CVA students day to day will probably not interfere with the regular CHS system. The program being implemented will be aimed at making CVA students' academic lives as similar to their current schedules as possible, including a completely different bell schedule.
"It's going to be housed on our campus, but they will have a different setup," Principal Dr. Matthew Steitz said.
As the next order of business, the board ruled on keeping open Buena Vista Elementary. The safety issue and the loss of preschool and special ed programs were a concern to all in attendance. In addition, the capacity of Magnolia Elementary would have been tested by such an issue. Unlike with CVA, the committee recommended to keep the school open, which the board voted in favor of 4-1.
At the conclusion of the meeting, most were satisfied with the outcome and relieved at the decision to keep BV open. It is estimated that the district could save millions over a five year period for the CVA move.
In the end, both student populations should not fear massive upsets or culture clashes: the transitions will be smooth and the students are some of Carlsbad's own.
"Everyone of these kids was from CHS," Steitz said. "It's not bringing a group of students that we're not familiar with at all."

Where is CVA now?
Did the local teachers union have a position about closing CVA? Who will be responsible for maintaining discipline with different bell schedules?
shon, josh on April 25th, 2012 12:37 pm
The subcommittee made up of representatives of the teachers' union recommended Carlsbad Village Academy stay open with reduced staffing. When we spoke with the principal he said that the CVA students will have their own schedule but they will be in a specific area of campus and will probably be monitored by the same campus security that monitors the CHS student population.

'We know he's a good player': Stiliyan Petrov backs James McCarthy to overcome stuttering start at Celtic
By Graeme McGarry @Graeme_McGarry Senior Sports Writer
James McCarthy endured a difficult afternoon on his first start for Celtic at Livingston.
STILIYAN PETROV has backed James McCarthy to show his class for Celtic after a difficult full debut for the midfielder against Livingston.
McCarthy was one of several Celtic players who was produced seriously below-par performances as Ange Postecoglou's side suffered a third Premiership away defeat of the season at the Tony Macaroni Arena on Sunday.
But Petrov believes that McCarthy will show the ability that once made him a regular performer in the English Premier League once he is up to full fitness.
"It's very difficult for any player coming in who hasn't played in a long time," Petrov said. "You need to be at full strength to it's been hard for him to hit the ground running.
"It's going to take him time to build his fitness. We know he's a good player. He's played a lot of games in the top league in England, so we know he's got it.
"But in football these days you have to run. It's difficult if you are not match fit, but I'm sure the team behind Ange are working hard to get him up to speed."
The return of Callum McGregor to the midfield will be helpful to McCarthy on an individual level according to Petrov, as well as the Celtic team as a whole, and he is glad to hear that Postecoglou is looking to extend his captain's contract.
"Callum has been instrumental at Celtic – and not just this season," he said. "We've seen how much of a miss he is when he's not there.
"He has really matured as a player, you can see he leads the boys in the right way since he took over from Scott Brown as captain.
"He is a huge miss because he's also one of the players who makes a difference in the big games.
"You can understand why Ange wants him to sign a new contract. Everyone wants to keep their best players –and he is one of the top guys. I really hope they can keep him for the long term.
"I know there has been talk about England for a while but at this moment I think he understands his responsibility to lead this Celtic team.
"The club are going through a transition and they need someone who has been here a long time and understands the club.
"Callum is taking this role very seriously and I hope it continues."

call of duty: world at war multiplayer quotes 2020


There's always been a lot to do around brum, We're a large city with a large number of young and active people. So we need a lot to keep our busy minds focused! That's where Buckt comes in. It's offering a great selection of interesting and, hopefully, new activities for you to try in Brum!
And that's where I leave you and hand you over to the very lovely Jenna from A Balanced Belly.
As a healthy living blogger, I must admit I take living within reach of the UK's second city for granted. I do yoga in my living room and walk my dogs in the park; missing out on all the different ways to get active and have fun in Brum. I know there's plenty of stuff out there for me to do- but there's always a bit of the What If? Factor at play. What if we get lost, waste our money or just end up hating it!! Needless to say, both my husband I needed a bit of a push to get out of our comfort zone, and that's where the Buckt box comes in.
2 passes to Key Hunters, an escape room in Birmingham.
2 tickets to an Ice Hockey game.
2 tickets to Boing Zone– a trampoline park.
As you can see, when you add this little lot up it is way over the value of the box- meaning it doesn't necessarily matter if every activity is the perfect fit for you! The cinema tickets alone would take up half the value of the box. I was so pleased that the majority of these were a great way to explore the city and keep fit! What's more, because it was all included in the price of the box, it tended to feel 'risk free' and encouraged us to give things a try!
Once you've received your box, you book online through Buckt's website to use your passes.
I can honestly say that after using my box, I am excited to see what the next box brings! The only thing I found an issue is that it was difficult to fit everything in! This is mainly because I didn't manage to test anything out during the first few weeks as we were moving house. Overall, the 2 month box works perfectly as it gives you a bit of leeway if you're having a busy period.
If you are looking for some new ideas for ways to discover Birmingham or looking to treat your other half, I honestly would give Buckt box a try. It's inexpensive, offers a whole range of activities you'd never thought of trying and encourages you try something new every time you open it! Forget beauty boxes, I think this idea has real legs and hopefully it'll expand to lots of cities all around the UK.
It feels wrong to sign it off with my name but it also feels wrong not to have a siging off so, thanks for reading! From Jenna &..
For more info go to http://www.buckt.uk in collaboration with Jenna Farmer – Author, Blogger & I'm pretty sure she's secretly wonder woman.
That is such a good idea, and great way to see the city and great ideas for things to do if you're at a loose end.
This sounds like a really good box and you got so much in the box. I hope you enjoy all the activities.

Out-of-the-Box Thinking From Zetera
Despite the tens of millions of dollars spent by vendor marketing departments since the late 1990s to evangelize network storage, it has never happened. Until now.
By Jon William Toigo
When you think of storage, you might imagine a nondescript chassis filled with disk drives from Western Digital, Seagate, Maxtor, Hitachi, et al, arranged in orderly ranks and cabled back to a fancy RAID controller. If you use brand-name storage, you may also envision a pretty cabinet and door of Italian design decorated with a splendid logo for your vendor of choice. (You pay a lot extra for that logo, by the way.)
Typically, there is a cable or two (or more for the bigger arrays) coming out of the array that connects to a server or to a switch (or two), providing a path for SCSI commands and data traffic. Another cable, usually Cat 5, or better Ethernet, also springs from the cabinet to connect to a LAN that provides the "control path" for the array—an obtuse way of saying management and security services.
That's storage in a nutshell. Everybody is selling a box of disks, some with fancy controllers and redundant components, such as power supplies and fans.
Bottom line: every array is channel-attached, connected directly to a server. I know you have heard the terms network storage or network-attached storage or storage area networks. As my Italian relatives are fond of saying, "Forgetaboutit."
NAS boxes operate a server OS, just like a file server, and their drive trays connect back to this server, so NAS is still server-attached configuration.
FC SANs are simply server-attached arrays whose data-path cabling just happens to pass through a simplistic switch that makes and breaks point-to-point connections at high speed. The introduction of a switch between server and storage device doesn't make it a network by any accepted definition of the term, except for the definition used by marketing departments of FC switch makers. The FC switch serves the same basic function as a roundhouse in a toy train set—you know, that expensive piece that rotates and transfers toy trains from one set of tracks to another.
Despite the tens of millions of dollars spent by vendor marketing departments since the late 1990s to evangelize network storage, it has never happened. Even iSCSI, the operation of the channel storage architecture SCSI as an application across a true network (IP), isn't the real deal when you get right down to it. It does bring data path and control path into the same wire, but it perpetuates the same initiator and target relationships that have existed since storage was a peripheral device slung off the backplane of a mainframe.
This is the long way of getting to the point of this week's column. This week, I was introduced to a new technology from Zetera, a company you may never have heard of, but one that I wager could become a household name if they play their cards right. From the background provided by their PR representative, I am catching on to the Irvine, CA-based company a bit late. IDC already did a paper on them and other publications have given them several column inches. At that point, their technology was still on the drawing board. Now it's real.
Zetera says that network storage should, well, use the network. You cable disk drives directly to the network using devices called tailgates. Firmware gets the drive an IP address. You then install device drivers on the servers and desktops that will have access to the drive nodes. Voila! You have a hugely scalable array, created by means of the IP network itself.
Bad news for the RAID guys: Zetera says they are the last remnants of a bygone era. Using IP multicasting and a bit of proprietary magic, the vendor can stripe data across disks, producing the same results as RAID 1, 3, 5 or 1/0.
Zetera handles storage I/O using UDP rather than TCP. TCP is favored by the Internet Engineering Task Force, ostensibly to guarantee interoperability between all products that adhere to IETF standards. That's why TCP is used for iSCSI. The question that Zetera asks (as have many others before them) is why TCP, with all of its overhead, is required?
IETF might respond, "For security and reliability in hostile networking environments." To Zetera's way of thinking, this is all well and fine, but most storage will be deployed in non-hostile environments—inside data centers or in user departments on networks that are segregated from the general purpose LAN. In such environments, UDP is more than adequate.
A bit of history: back in the late 1990s, when iSCSI was being delayed by vendor obfuscation, a number of forward looking vendors, including Adaptec with its EtherStore product line, were preparing to implement UDP-based versions of network storage protocols. Cajoling by IBM and Cisco made them drop the idea and "fall into step with the mainstream" or TCP-based development effort, and TCP-based iSCSI took its dear, sweet time getting to market, giving FC vendors the early lead in the market.
Now that the big cats have lost some of their luster (Cisco trades for $18 per share, not $80-plus, and IBM recently reported an abysmally poor quarter), the idea of UDP-based network storage has resurfaced with Zetera leading the charge.
Will Zetera's technology play well with those who like brand-name logos on their designer array cabinets? Probably not. As one reader pointed out to me today when I was talking about writing this column, "It will be difficult for them to break into the Enterprise market though, as the current vendors will FUD them to death."
The same reader, however, pointed out two strengths of Zetera's technology that might give them a place at the Enterprise table: 1) using the multicasting function of networks could enable the first true storage load balancer, which would simplify how capacity is managed today; and 2) wedding Zetera technology to extremely dense disk drives, such as Hitachi's forthcoming 1 Terabyte perpendicular drive, may well send contemporary NAS and SAN solutions into an IT museum in short order.
Zetera doesn't make storage devices. They aim to license their technology to others—a smart move. Initial targets for Zetera storage are the consumer and the small to medium business market where easily installed, readily managed (and cheap to buy and own) storage is much in demand. They have promised me a couple of copies of their wares for testing in my labs this summer. I'll let you know what I find.

These fine art nouveau apartments on the border of the Vinohrady and Žižkov districts date from 1910; they were built by Antonín Polívka to a design by the architect Josef Pospíšil.
Seven years earlier, Pospíšil had made his name by redeveloping three facades in Náměstí Míru (Peace Square) in heavy neo-baroque style. But even though the exaggerated plasticity and ornamentation of revival architecture remained prevalent in Prague right up to the war, Pospíšil quickly rejected it in favour of an altogether lighter approach.
In fact, this combination of delicate wrought-iron balconies and brightly-coloured ceramic tiling is typical of a period during which Czech architects in general were moving away from commemorating the past and searching instead for a way to celebrate national pride, home-grown industry and new technologies. Art nouveau provided that direction.
Until his death in 1918, Pospíšil lived mainly in Sarajevo, where his style became ever more crisp and geometric, echoing the move towards cubism and modernism that was already advancing in Prague.

Some of the carnage from Sundays race - I've never seen such digustingly dirty F1 cars:
As usual, putting that Russian sponsorship money to good use

The Outlaw: ↑
I agree he's a great driver. I just laugh when I see (usually on other forums) people rate him as the best driver on the grid when he has never really been paired up with any great talent nor has he won a WDC. Personally I feel the easy to drive nature and great performance of the R30 is one of the things that is making him look so good. Personally i feel (just my opinion) that if you put him in the Mclaren or even Ferrari (much more difficult cars to drive) I don't think he could touch Alonso or Hamilton (as I don't feel he has the finesse nor precision of those two - which is important in cars that can't be tossed around so much). That's why Renault need to get a quality driver in their seat for next year
How do you know which cars are easy to drive and which aren't ?
albteman015: ↑
You can get a general idea from watching onboard footage as well as understanding the general characteristics of the cars (mechanical efficieny, aero characteristics, engine tractability, etc). Also, in the past few years the Renault has had great mechanical efficiency, compliance, and precision with the front end (despite lacking DF in the past few years) - watching Alonso's onboard footage from this year in the F10 compared to 09 or 08 you see how relatively easy the Renault was to drive and place around the track in order to extract the maximum potential (and IMO the R30 has just gotten that much better with the dramatic improvement in DF). With the Ferrari he always seems to make more correction to get the car placed perfectly, although the car has gotten quite a bit better throughout the year, it still doesn't look anything near as easy to drive nor nearly as tossible as the R30 and the same can be said for the MP4-25.
Shaggy Alonso
Seismica: ↑
After it had been red-flagged?
I thought alterations to the setup of the car were not allowed once the car was sat on the grid (Other than tyres, which is understandeable considering that conditions can change). I guess I was wrong. But it would explain how the Mercedes had the pace to challenge for a podium place. It could have even been a race win for Rosberg if he'd have got past Webber unscathed. That's something to think about...
Ted Kravitz mentioned it in his after race report for the BBC, but i've found a written explanation by Martin Brundle:
Mercedes seemed to be the most proactive in changing their cars to a more wet set-up during the red-flag period after just three laps.
Once the race had officially started, the cars were out of parc ferme restrictions and changes were permitted. Michael Schumacher took advantage to drive an impressive and committed race into fourth place for the third time this season.
niky Moderator
Merc's pace in this race was a real revelation as to what proper set-up can do for you... In qualifying and practice, I seem to remember Schumi's arms flailing all over the place. I' m surprised no one else tried it... as running on qualifying set-up was a real disaster for some... McLaren in particular. Until Lewis managed to get the tires to work in the later half, they were in big trouble... A combination of McLaren's troubles and Mercedes's set-up gave Rosberg that overtake... but, of course, it required Rosberg to be competent enough to pull it off.
With the Ferrari he always seems to make more correction to get the car placed perfectly, although the car has gotten quite a bit better throughout the year, it still doesn't look anything near as easy to drive nor nearly as tossible as the R30 and the same can be said for the MP4-25.
I often wonder how unwieldy this year's car is compared to the twitch-monsters that Kimi and Massa were driving a while back.
daan Moderator
Shaggy Alonso: ↑
So technically, the gap between the red flag and the restart was one huge great big, 49 minute or so, pit stop?

Same to Alonso, I really do admire him, most of all his persistence, the fact that he never lost faith when everyone said he was already out of the title race, after his silly and totally unjustified mistake at Spa (note to Alonso fans: very similar to what Webber did today).
I don't think it was "similar" at all. Remember Fernando had damage from Rubens crashing into him earlier. His car was pulling to one side. And he was also way down in the pack. I think he was fighting for one or two points. So, according to him, he was pushing like hell, to get more points. Webber was second, with a healthy car, and all he had to was hold station.
Sure, any driver can make mistakes, but I just don't see Alonso binning it if he was driving Mark's car in that situation. Remember Alonso's drive in Malaysia. He had no engine braking. His gearbox would go into neutral when he downshifting, and yet he drove a decent race until his engine blew.
Alonso, Hamilton, and maybe Kubica, are in a league of their own skill wise.

I am 90% sure I heard somewhere, be it on here or the BBC, that F1 cars don't utilise engine braking. They only downshift before the corner so that they are in the right gear for getting the most speed out of the corner.
Hun200kmh
Welcome to gtplanet I don't remember Malaysia's events, but you are right about Alonso having a crippled car at Spa. I stand corrected on that one!

granturismite: ↑
to all those bagging Webber out because of his mistake, don't forget Alonso's mishap in Belgium. exactly the same situation. At least Mark didn't try to park his on the track to influence the race
I'm sorry but what?! are you seriously trying to say Alonso decided to prang his car off the wall harder than necessary to launch himself into the path of others?
I know you all hate Alonso with a passion but some of the stuff that's been said is verging on out of line.

Tiddy: ↑
I'm sorry but what?! are you seriously trying to say Alonso decided to prang his car off the wall harder than necessary to launch himself into the path of others? .
I'm not saying Alonso crashed on purpose, after all he was in a points position. It's just that his car ended up on the tarmac, when he should have had better control over the final resting position.
He knew it was in a dangourous position. Look at him scarper away after the car stops. Fundamentally, it was a dangerous position for Alonso's Ferrari to end up in.
Prince.M5
I'm sorry but what do you expect with a car that had only 3 working on his wagon? It may ended up on a tarmac but the car was OFF the racing line, and no one had an accident or hit his car there.
It's a procedure for a driver to leave the car immidiately after a crash, and at least he brake and stop there instead of Mark left his car rolling down the racing line and coming into the path of Nico Rosberg and initially took both of their races to the drain... He apologized to Nico afterwards so it should all be fine.
Matti_Dude
What are you on about? That's like saying Webber deliberately let his car crash in to Rosberg, It's just ridiculous.
Wiegert Premium

Looks like somebody does think Webber deliberately crashed into Rosberg:

lpb-nissan-gt-r
Anyone else find the camera angle shown on tv at the last corner scary? every time they would show someone going in the corner it looked like they where going straight in to the wall.
weigert: ↑
That is utterly disgraceful Does he honestly think Mark Webber would risk his own life and those of his fellow sportsmen just to spoil one of their results?
What a stupid Berger
Anything's possible - and I'm sure Berger has a better idea of the mindset (and what they'll risk) of a F1 driver than any of us onlookers. When you're as close as Webber to becoming a Formula 1 WDC (after all his years in F1) you can become a pretty desperate man...
He couldn't have seen what was coming his way, he would have been right on the racing line if his car had stopped near the wall that he hit. It was an accident with no malicious intent on any other driver.
Alex. Premium
To be honest it is believable. At that speed all Webber had to do was feather the brake and it'd have stopped the car fully.

He'd better have more than just 'driver's intuition' as back-up for these outrageous claims, otherwise he'd either get a very convincing apology ready, or seek the services of a good lawyer. These kinds of comments are downright slanderous.
It is Berger's opinion of what happened, surely he's entitled to that.
Famine Administrator
Famine: ↑
They're damned erratic drivers - Webber in particular has been plagued by a regular willingness to drive into someone else (and there are people claiming he deliberately allowed his car to scythe across the track today in the hope of taking Hamilton out - I don't agree with them, but I can see how they reached this conclusion).
Typical of Gerhard to be so slow off the mark.
Alex.: ↑
He is entitled to his opinion, but by stating that opinion on the record, he'd better be able to back it up or he will face the consequences.
"Couldn't have seen what was coming his way"? As soon as he hit the wall he was looking right toward Rosberg and did absolutely nothing to try and avoid rolling back onto the racing line Now I'm not one claiming for a fact that he intentionally tried to take out one of the contenders, but nor am I one naive enough to write off this possibility either. Everyone acts as if all the drivers except for Alonso & Schumacher (maybe a few others) are some type of saints who would never dream of doing such a thing Webber has always been a boarderline overly aggressive/unfair driver at times so I can't say it would be some big surprise if he did have bad intentions out of dire instinct (especially considering what is on the line for him).
Touring Mars: ↑
It's freedom of speech - I doubt he has any real consequence to face otherwise he wouldn't have said it. It's not like he's trying to make a comeback into F1 or is trying to be best friends with RB or Mark Webber in particular.
It's freedom of speech
Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. You simply cannot accuse someone like this and get away with it if he turns out to be completely wrong. It's called defamation.
Well, according to the definition of the word "defamation", the accusations (which were his opinion) must be able to be proven as false in order to prosecute in the court of law - which in this case there is no way to prove the validity of such, unless Webber did in fact try to hit the brakes to prevent from rolling back (with data to prove so), and to prevent the immanent collision.
Personally I feel Gerhard's words are simply being blown out of proportion. Maybe RB and Mark will respond with a direct response to Gerhards accusations in the press, but other than that, I seriously doubt any legal action will be taken (or any other action would be taken that would really be of much "consequence" to Gerhard).
If he would have stopped directly then, he would of been in the middle of the track, I can see his logic in letting it run across the track(to continue with the race) and he probably cannot see rosberg from his viewpoint.
But as he had said when he spoke to the press he though he had cuaght the slide before the impact.
Dodzzz
webber was busy trying to find the reset button, and then realize he was not in the simulator
Ardius
I personally feel Webber perhaps failed basic racecraft - when in a slow spin you apply the brakes to make your movement more predictable.
I don't think he steered (or rather didn't steer) on purpose to move back onto the track - that again is a basic driving technique to avoid damaging your hands/wrists/arms by not holding onto the steering wheel during impacts. However, he could have applied the brakes fully at least during the initial impacts and after it.
I'm willing to give Webber the benefit of the doubt though, the impact or spin may have been so surprising he simply forgot or was in shock that he only realised he should hit the brakes when he was already going back across the track. In which case he was possibly correct to not apply the brakes and stop on the racing line. He may not have expected the car to turn like that too, as he couldn't see all the suspension damage from where he sits.
Even so though, stopping in the middle of the track is more predictable to the immediate driver behind but not so much for the rest of the pack. I think Rosberg was also partly to blame as he also failed basic racecraft rules by not aiming for where Webber was, instead he tried to go around Webber when he was still moving. But again, its easy to make this mistake and it happens all the time in other racing. Particularly with the time scales involved here.
50/50 I guess, it depends on what Webber was thinking, which we will never know. If he was letting the accident unfold and then deciding whether to hit the brakes or not, he was at fault (he should have hit the brakes and stuck to the right hand side of the track). If he was in shock briefly and couldn't/didn't react in time that braking would help then he wasn't at fault. I don't think he chose to delibrately ram Rosberg or whoever came up behind...it wouldn't surprise me but I don't think Webber is that crazy. He runs the risk of the car hitting him directly in the side and launching over his head but then again, people don't think things through like that in high-adrenaline situations. And when a championship is at stake, some people are willing to risk quite a lot.

"Ordinary mind includes eternal perceptions. Notice what you notice. Observe whats vivid. Catch yourself thinking. Vividness is self-selecting. And remember the future."
— Allen Ginsberg —
"The traumatic moment becomes encoded in an abnormal form of memory, which breaks spontaneously into consciouness, both as flashbacks during waking states and as traumatic nightmares during sleep. Small, seemingly insignificant reminders can also evoke these memories, which often return with all the vividness and emotional force of the original event. Thus, even normally safe environments may come to feel dangerous, for the survivor can never be assured that she will not encounter some reminder of the trauma."
— Judith Lewis Herman
"The forms of the central and surrounding deities ... should not be protruding like a clay statue or cast image, yet neither should they be flat like a painting. In contrast, they should be apparent, yet not truly existent, like a rainbow in the sky or the reflection of the moon in a lake. They should appear as though conjured up by a magician. Clear appearance involves fixing the mind one-pointedly on these forms with a sense of vividness, nakedness, lucidity, and clarity."
— Jigme Lingpa
"The things that we preceive as beautiful may be different, but the actual characteristics we ascribe to beautiful objects are similar. Think about it. When something strikes us as beautiful, it displays more presence and sharpness of shape and vividness of color, doesn't it? It stands out. It shines. It seems almost iridescent compared to the dullness of other objects less attractive."
— James Redfield
"The mechanism by which spirituality becomes passionate is metaphor. An ineffable God requires metaphor not only to be imagined but to be approached, exhorted, evaded, confronted, struggled with, and loved. Through metaphor, the vividness, intensity, and meaningfulness of ordinary experiences becomes the basis of a passionate spirituality. An ineffable God becomes vital through metaphor: The Supreme Being. The Prime Mover. The Creator. The Almighty. The Father. The King of Kings. Shepherd. Potter. Lawgiver. Judge. Mother. Lover. Breath.
The vehicle by which we are moved in passionate spirituality is metaphor. The mechanism of such metaphor is bodily. It is a neural mechanism that recruits our abilities to perceive, to move, to feel, and to envision in the service not only of theoretical and philosophical thought, but of spiritual experience."
— George Lakoff
"My father always used to tell one of his dreams, because it somehow seemed of a piece with what was to follow. He believed that it was a consequence of the thing's presence in the next room. My father dreamed of blood.
It was the vividness of the dreams that was impressive, their minute detail and horrible reality. The blood came through the keyhole of a locked door which communicated with the next room. I suppose the two rooms had originally been designed en suite. It ran down the door panel with a viscous ripple, like the artificial one created in the conduit of Trumpingdon Street. But it was heavy, and smelled. The slow welling of it sopped the carpet and reached the bed. It was warm and sticky. My father woke up with the impression that it was all over his hands. He was rubbing his first two fingers together, trying to rid them of the greasy adhesion where the fingers joined." ("The Troll")"
— T.H. White
"The history of a city was like the history of a family-there is closeness and even affection, but death eventually separates everyone from each other. It is only the vividness of memory that keeps the dead alive forever; a writer's job is to imagine everything so personally that the fiction is as vivid as our personal memories."
— John Irving
"It is an uneasy lot at best, to be what we call highly taught and yet not to enjoy: to be present at this great spectacle of life and never to be liberated from a small hungry shivering self-never to be fully possessed by the glory we behold, never to have our consciousness rapturously transformed into the vividness of a thought, the ardor of a passion, the energy of an action, but always to be scholarly and uninspired, ambitious and timid, scrupulous and dim-sighted."
— George Eliot
"Any one observing him would have seen a change in his complexion, in the adjustment of his facial muscles, in the vividness of his glance, which might have made them imagine that every molecule in his body had passed the message of a magic touch. And so it had."
"Long afterward, many would remember those two days in the first week of October with vividness and anguish."
— Arthur Hailey
"In a morbid condition of the brain, dreams often have a singular actuality, vividness, and extraordinary semblance of reality. At times monstrous images are created, but the setting and the whole picture are so truthlike and filled with details so delicate, so unexpectedly, but so artistically consistent, that the dreamer, were he an artist like Pushkin or Turgenev even, could never have invented them in the waking state. Such sick dreams always remain long in the memory and make a powerful impression on the overwrought and deranged nervous system."
"Dreams, as we all know, are very queer things: some parts are presented with appalling vividness, with details worked up with the elaborate finish of jewellery, while others one gallops through, as it were, without noticing them at all, as, for instance, through space and time. Dreams seem to be spurred on not by reason but by desire, not by the head but by the heart, and yet what complicated tricks my reason has played sometimes in dreams, what utterly incomprehensible things happen to it!"
"Emotionally, I have no picture-book illustrated with memories of my first five years, but externally, I have impressions that possess a haunting vividness comparable only to the texture of dreams, when dreams are tumultuously alive."
— E.F. Benson
"Dreams, as we all know, are very curious things: certain incidents in them are presented with quite uncanny vividness, each detail executed with the finishing touch of a jeweller, while others you leap across as though entirely unaware of, for instance, space and time. Dreams seem to be induced not by reason but by desire, not by the head but by the heart, and yet what clever tricks my reason has sometimes played on me in dreams!"
"Any setting can potentially acquire this vividness. It slowly arrives during the period of research, until it is as immediate to me as my own real surroundings."
— Rose Tremain
"Simplicity, clarity, singleness: These are the attributes that give our lives power and vividness and joy as they are also the marks of great art. They seem to be the purpose of God for his whole creation."
— Richard Holloway
"You appear to me not to have understood the nature of my body & mind. Partly from ill-health, & partly from an unhealthy & reverie-like vividness of Thoughts, & (pardon the pedantry of the phrase) a diminished Impressibility from Things, my ideas, wishes, & feelings are to a diseased degree disconnected from motion & action. In plain and natural English, I am a dreaming & therefore an indolent man. I am a Starling self-incaged, & always in the Moult, & my whole Note is, Tomorrow, & tomorrow, & tomorrow."
— Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"She was about twenty-four, Rosemary guessed - her face could have been described in terms of conventional prettiness, but the effect was that it had been made first on the heroic scale with strong structure and marking, as if the features and vividness of brow and coloring, everything we associate with temperament and character had been molded with a Rodinesque intention, and then chiseled away in the direction of prettiness to a point where a single slip would have irreparably diminished its force and quality. With the mouth the sculptor had taken desperate chances - it was the cupid's bow of a magazine cover, yet it shared the distinction of the rest."
— F. Scott Fitzgerald
"Lyndon Johnson's sentences were the sentences of a man with a remarkable gift for words, not long words but evocative, of a man with a remarkable gift for images, homey images of a vividness that infused the sentences with drama."
— Robert A. Caro
"Still, though, I can't be sure if the zoo as I recall it was really like that. How can I put it? I sometimes feel that it's too vivid, if you know what I mean. And when I start having thoughts like this, the more I think about it, the less I can tell how much of the vividness is real and how much of it my imagination has invented."
— Haruki Murakami
"Why does the past seem so magical, so fraught, so luminous? At the time it was just, ugh, another boring bloody day. But, to look back on, it's a day full of miracles and light and extraordinary events. Why is this? What process do we apply to the past, to give it this vividness? I don't know."
— John Banville
"I know many filmmakers, and shooting in IMAX is challenging. Filmmakers love the vividness and power of those big images."
— Nina Jacobson
"She felt as though her nerves were strings being strained tighter and tighter on some sort of screwing peg. She felt her eyes opening wider and wider, her fingers and toes twitching nervously, something within oppressing her breathing, while all shapes and sounds seemed in the uncertain half-light to strike her with unaccustomed vividness. Moments of doubt were continually coming upon her, when she was uncertain whether the train were going forwards or backwards, or were standing still altogether; whether it were Annushka at her side or a stranger. "What's that on the arm of the chair, a fur cloak or some beast? And what am I myself? Myself or some other woman?" She was afraid of giving way to this delirium. But something drew her towards it, and she could yield to it or resist it at will."
"The seamen had whitewashed the smoky ceilings of the ward, and that dear homely smell carried the vividness of thatch and lumpy walls and stew given from the goodness of a stranger's heart. But that was all there was of comfort, and the salt air had turned from cold to warm in the passing of a life, an afternoon."
— Peter Carey
"A storyteller who provided us with such a profusion of details would rapidly grow maddening. Unfortunately, life itself often subscribes to this mode of storytelling, wearing us out with repetition, misleading emphases and inconsequential plot lines. It insists on showing us Bardak Electronics, the saftey handle in the car, a stray dog, a Christmas card and a fly that lands first on the rim and then in the centre of the ashtray.
Which explains how the curious phenomenon whereby valuable elements may be easier to experience in art and in anticipation than in reality. The anticipatory and artistic imaginations omit and compress; they cut away the periods of boredom and direct our attention to critical moments, and thus, without either lying or embellishing, they lend to life a vividness and a coherence that it may lack in the distracting wooliness of the present."
— Alain De Botton
"In constructing the plot and working it out with the proper diction, the poet should place the scene, as far as possible, before his eyes. In this way, seeing everything with the utmost vividness, as if he were a spectator of the action, he will discover what is in keeping with it, and be most unlikely to overlook inconsistencies."
"An image came back to him with such vividness that it might have been framed before him in glass"
— Ron Rash
"I perceived with a sudden novel vividness the extraordinary folly of everything I had ever done."
— H.G. Wells
"The value of any experience isn't in its positive or negative effect on his life but in the sheer luminous power of it, the vividness, the ferocity, the amount and degree of pure sensation that it provides. Intensity."
"There is probably no finer prose writer alive in Britain now, no-one better at making a sentence, no-one better at descriptive writing, no-one who can get so close to the vividness of other peoples interior selves."
— Linda Grant
"Everyone remembers his past with greater vividness as the present becomes more important. Dying men in their last delirium are supposed to see their whole life spread out before them."
— Italo Svevo
"He talked of his dreams in a strangely poetic fashion; making me see with terrible vividness the damp Cyclopean city of slimy green stone-whose geometry, he oddly said, was all wrong-and hear with frightened expectancy the ceaseless, half-mental calling from underground: "Cthulhu fhtagn", "Cthulhu fhtagn"."
— H.P. Lovecraft
"The genius keeps all his days the vividness and intensity of interest that a sensitive child feels in his expanding world."
— Dorothea Brande
"I'll always marvel at the liveliness of southern speech-so full of metaphor and hyperbole, quirks and vividness."
— Frances Mayes
"For with him the phantoms of the mind (which to the average man are merely phantoms) projected themselves with a bodily vividness and violence. Not only had they the colour and authority of accomplished fact, they were invested with an immortality denied to facts."
— May Sinclair
"You must assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled until your assumption has all the sensory vividness of reality. You must imagine that you are already experiencing what you desire. That is, you must assume the feeling of the fulfillment of your desire until you are possessed by it and this feeling crowds all other ideas out of your consciousness."
— Neville Goddard
"Many sci-fi authors, we know, are as clever and tricky as so many Coyotes. Ms. Le Guin, though, has matured from the vividness and imagination she had from the beginning into wisdom and a clearsightedness that reaches past sympathy."
— Tom Shippey
"This kind of internal "telepathic" intercourse, which was to serve me in all my wanderings, was at first difficult, innefective, and painful. But in time I came to be able to live through the experiences of my host with vividness and accuracy, while yet preserving my own individuality, my own critical intelligence, my own desires and fears. Only when the other had come to realize my presence within him could he, by a special act of volition, keep particular thoughts secret from me."
— Olaf Stapledon
"Writing itself is one of the great, free human activities. There is scope for individuality, and elation, and discovery. In writing, for the person who follows with trust and forgiveness what occurs to him, the world remains always ready and deep, an inexhaustible environment, with the combined vividness of an actuality and flexibility of a dream. Working back and forth between experience and thought, writers have more than space and time can offer. They have the whole unexplored realm of human vision."
— William Stafford
"Mindfulness is about being fully awake in our lives. It is about perceiving the exquisite vividness of each moment. We also gain immediate access to our own powerful inner resources for insight, transformation, and healing."
— Jon Kabat-Zinn
"A. Douglas Stone, a physicist who has spent his life using quantum mechanics to explore striking new phenomena, has turned his considerable writing skills to thinking about Einstein and the quantum. What he finds and makes broadly understandable are the riches of Einstein's thinking not about relativity, not about his arguments with Bohr, but about Einstein's deep insights into the quantum world, insights that Stone shows speak to us now with all the vividness and depth they had a century ago. This is a fascinating book, lively, engaging, and strong in physical intuition."
— Peter Galison
"Consistency in opinion is the slow poison of intellectual life, the destroyer of its vividness and energy."
— Humphry Davy
"In the case of drama (stage, movies, television ), there appear to be people in almost every audience who never quite fully realize that a play is a set of fictional, symbolic representations. An actor is one who symbolizes other people, real or imagined. [ ... ] Also some years ago it was reported that when Edward G. Robinson, who used to play gangster roles with extraordinary vividness, visited Chicago, local hoodlums would telephone him at his hotel to pay their professional respects."
— S.I. Hayakawa
"Ordinary mind includes eternal perceptions. Notice what you notice. Observe what's vivid. Catch yourself thinking. Vividness is self-selecting. And remember the future."
— Allen Ginsberg
"Be not swept off your feet by the vividness of the impression, but say, Impression, wait for me a little. Let me see what you are and what you represent. Let me try you."
"The intensity of vision in the artist and of vividness in his creations are the sole tests of his imaginative power."
— George Henry Lewes
"I like a much more Japanese style of blood, where it's red and it almost has a paint kind of quality to it. You can put it on metal, and it has this vividness. Because, normally, what they use in Hollywood is this stuff that looks like strawberry pancake syrup or raspberry pancake syrup."
— Quentin Tarantino
"We have more faith in a well-written romance while we are reading it than in common history. The vividness of the representations in the one case more than counterbalances the mere knowledge of the truth of facts in the other."
— William Hazlitt
"The measure of our rationality determines the degree of vividness with which we appreciate the needs of other life, the extent to which we become conscious of the real character of our own motives and impulses, the ability to harmonize conflicting impulses in our own life and in society, and the capacity to choose adequate means for approved ends."
— Reinhold Niebuhr
"No prosaic description can portray the grandeur of 40 miles of rugged mountains rising beyond a placid lake in which each shadowy precipice and each purple gorge is reflected with a vividness that rivals the original."
— Herbert Hoover
