Q: How to view printf output in a Win32 application on Visual Studio 2010? How can you view printf output in a Win32 application (entering with a WinMain) in Visual Studio 2010?

A: Edit 2021, Visual Studio 2019
To write debug messages to the Output window use the OutputDebugStringA from debugapi.h (include windows.h)
test.c
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdShow, int nCmdShow)
{
    int number = 10;
    char str[256];
    sprintf_s(str, sizeof(str), "It works! - number: %d \n", number);

    OutputDebugStringA(str);

    return 0;
}

Tested on Visual Studio 2019, Debug / x64.
Or alternatively utilize my drop-in header file.

A: Here is a page that will tell you how to do this, including sample code.
You must create a console window using AllocConsole(), then associate the C standard file handles to the HANDLEs of the new console window.

A: You'll need a console window.  By far the easiest way to get one is to change a linker option: Project + Properties, Linker, System, SubSystem = Console.  Add a main() method:
int main() {
    return _tWinMain(GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL, GetCommandLine(), SW_SHOW);
}

A: I know that I have done this in the past using the AllocConsole function, but I also recall that it was just a little trickier than I expected.
A quick Google search on AllocConsole yields what is apparently a Windows Developer Journal article that seems relevant. From there, the following seems similar to what I recall, vague as it is.
void SetStdOutToNewConsole()
{
    int hConHandle;
    long lStdHandle;
    FILE *fp;

    // Allocate a console for this app
    AllocConsole();

    // Redirect unbuffered STDOUT to the console
    lStdHandle = (long)GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
    hConHandle = _open_osfhandle(lStdHandle, _O_TEXT);
    fp = _fdopen(hConHandle, "w");
    *stdout = *fp;

    setvbuf(stdout, NULL, _IONBF, 0);
}

A: Another way which wouldn't require changing existing printf's and also print to VS output window would go something like this:
#define printf printf2

int __cdecl printf2(const char *format, ...)
{
    char str[1024];

    va_list argptr;
    va_start(argptr, format);
    int ret = vsnprintf(str, sizeof(str), format, argptr);
    va_end(argptr);

    OutputDebugStringA(str);

    return ret;
}

...

printf("remains %s", "the same");

A: Thanks torak for your answer. It helped me a lot.
I needed a bigger scroll back buffer so made a few additions after taking a look at the API functions. Shared here in case it helps anybody else:
void SetStdOutToNewConsole()
{
    // allocate a console for this app
    AllocConsole();

    // redirect unbuffered STDOUT to the console
    HANDLE consoleHandle = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
    int fileDescriptor = _open_osfhandle((intptr_t)consoleHandle, _O_TEXT);
    FILE *fp = _fdopen( fileDescriptor, "w" );
    *stdout = *fp;
    setvbuf( stdout, NULL, _IONBF, 0 );

    // give the console window a nicer title
    SetConsoleTitle(L"Debug Output");

    // give the console window a bigger buffer size
    CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi;
    if ( GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(consoleHandle, &csbi) )
    {
        COORD bufferSize;
        bufferSize.X = csbi.dwSize.X;
        bufferSize.Y = 9999;
        SetConsoleScreenBufferSize(consoleHandle, bufferSize);
    }
}

This increases the scroll back (screen buffer) height to 9999 lines.
Tested on Windows XP and Windows 7.

A: For MinGW use "_A_SYSTEM" instead "_O_TEXT".
So ported Quintin Willison answer is as follows:
#include <io.h>
void SetStdOutToNewConsole()
{
  // allocate a console for this app
  AllocConsole();
  // redirect unbuffered STDOUT to the console
  HANDLE consoleHandle = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
  int fileDescriptor = _open_osfhandle((intptr_t)consoleHandle, _A_SYSTEM);
  FILE *fp = _fdopen( fileDescriptor, "w" );
  *stdout = *fp;
  setvbuf( stdout, NULL, _IONBF, 0 );
  // give the console window a nicer title
  SetConsoleTitle(L"Debug Output");
  // give the console window a bigger buffer size
  CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi;
  if ( GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(consoleHandle, &csbi) )
  {
    COORD bufferSize;
    bufferSize.X = csbi.dwSize.X;
    bufferSize.Y = 9999;
    SetConsoleScreenBufferSize(consoleHandle, bufferSize);
  }
}

Durrington All Saints Infant School has written a fresh chapter in its history this week - with the opening of a new library.
The children's book illustrator Bridget MacKeith, who was at Durrington leading workshops as part of the school's Art Day, carried out the official opening on Wednesday afternoon.
In keeping with Durrington's Forest School element - which includes the school's logo - the new library has been given a woodland theme with shelves in the shape of trees and stools like toadstools - as well as lots of green! It's hoped it underlines the importance placed on outdoor learning.
The whole area has also received a facelift with new carpet and a fresh lick of paint. To complete the makeover parent helpers organised the books ready for use by pupils.
"This is a library where children will be inspired to choose books and read for pleasure. The Friends of the School (PTA) has been fundraising to buy new books too," she added.

The history of English Language Teaching (ELT) has shown that this fast growing field is facing unprecedented challenges posed by the recent developments in the status of the English language as a world's leading language and the eventual change in the linguistic landscape. This paper provides an opportunity to examine the impact of the phenomenal spread of English in recent years and its eventual dominance in the international arena as seen in the practice of English Language Teaching (ELT) and learning, particularly in English as a Second Language (ESL)/English as Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. The paper reports the implications of the recent growth of English for crucial ELT practices and areas such as learner identity, code selection in classroom, teaching methods, syllabus design and material development. It draws on issues pertaining to English as a lingua franca theory in an attempt to address this debatable topic and consider the necessity of taking into consideration the emerging trends in ELT classrooms globally.

HomeSt. Augustine on Science vs. Scripture
St. Augustine on Science vs. Scripture
September 20, 2015 September 20, 2015 entirelyuseless Catholicism, Religion, Science, TheologyBrian Harrison, Creation, Evolution, Genesis, Gregory Dawes, Leo XIII, Pius XII, Robert Sungenis, Scripture, St. Augustine, St. Thomas
St. Augustine famously rebuked those who interpret Scripture while ignoring scientific knowledge of the natural world (The Literal Meaning of Genesis, book 1, chapters 19):
Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he holds to as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking non-sense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of the faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men. If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books. For then, to defend their utterly foolish and obviously untrue statements, they will try to call upon Holy Scripture for proof and even recite from memory many passages which they think support their position, although "they understand neither what they say nor the things about which they make assertion."
In this passage St. Augustine seems to reject the idea of using Scripture to correct natural science. However, St. Augustine is sometimes used in a manner which in many cases implies the opposite. In particular, St. Augustine is also understood by many to have said that we must always understand the text in a literal sense except when it can be proved that this would imply that Scripture says something false. And "proved" here is often taken in a very strong sense. For example, Gregory Dawes speaks of this understanding of St. Augustine:
There exist two Augustinian principles that relate to apparent conflicts between the Bible and secular knowledge, one indicating when secular knowledge claims should take priority and the other when a literal reading of the biblical text should prevail. Following Ernan McMullin, I shall call the first of these the principle of the priority of demonstration.
"When there is a conflict between a proven truth about nature and a particular reading of Scripture, an alternative reading of Scripture must be sought."
When in other words, enquiry based on natural principles leads to a conclusion that appears to contradict scripture but cannot be doubted, then scripture must be reinterpreted.
By way of contrast, a second principle, the principle of the priority of scripture, states that when rational enquiry leads to something less than certainty, the authority of the literal sense of scripture is to be preferred.
"When there is an apparent conflict between a Scripture passage and an assertion about the natural world grounded on sense or reason, the literal reading of the Scripture passage should prevail as long as the latter assertion lacks demonstration."
These principles are at least implicit in Augustine's De Genesi ad litteram, his commentary on the literal sense of Genesis, and are accepted by medieval writers such as Thomas Aquinas. They were employed by the church authorities during the trial of Galileo, restated by Pope Leo XIII at the end of the nineteenth century, and invoked by Pope Pius XII in 1950 when condemning polygenism (the view that the human race had more than one origin).
Apart from the claim that these principles are implicit in De Genesi ad litteram, there is no citation of St. Augustine here, neither in this text nor in Dawes's footnotes. In the footnotes, he cites St. Thomas's Summa 1a, 68, 1, Leo XIII in Providentissimus Deus, and Pius XII in Humani Generis.
Let's look at these texts. St. Thomas says,
In discussing questions of this kind two rules are to observed, as Augustine teaches (Gen. ad lit. i, 18). The first is, to hold the truth of Scripture without wavering. The second is that since Holy Scripture can be explained in a multiplicity of senses, one should adhere to a particular explanation, only in such measure as to be ready to abandon it, if it be proved with certainty to be false; lest Holy Scripture be exposed to the ridicule of unbelievers, and obstacles be placed to their believing.
St. Thomas certainly does not say here that we should adhere to our particular explanations until they are proved with certainty to be false. He simply says that we should abandon them if that happens. This does not mean that if someone shows that there is a 95% chance that our explanation is false, we should ignore his argument because it does not conclude with certainty.
Here is the text of St. Augustine cited by St. Thomas:
In matters that are obscure and far beyond our vision, even in such as we may find treated in Holy Scripture, different Interpretations are sometimes possible without prejudice to the faith we have received. In such a case, we should not rush in headlong and so firmly take our stand on one side that, if further progress in the search of truth justly undermines this position, we too fall with it. That would be to battle not for the teaching of Holy Scripture but for our own, wishing its teaching to conform to ours, whereas we ought to wish ours to conform to that of Sacred Scripture.
St. Augustine does not say that we should hold to our interpretations until they are proven with certainty to be false. Rather he says that "we should not rush in headlong and so firmly take our stand on one side that, if further progress in the search of truth justly undermines this position, we too fall with it." This simply says that one should hold to it reasonably, and not unreasonably. But it is not reasonable to ignore reasonable arguments simply because they do not conclude with certainty. Thus, if anything, this text rejects the supposedly Augustinian principle presented by Dawes.
Dawes cites two texts from Providentissimus Deus. The first is paragraph 15:
But he must not on that account consider that it is forbidden, when just cause exists, to push inquiry and exposition beyond what the Fathers have done; provided he carefully observes the rule so wisely laid down by St. Augustine-not to depart from the literal and obvious sense, except only where reason makes it untenable or necessity requires; a rule to which it is the more necessary to adhere strictly in these times, when the thirst for novelty and unrestrained freedom of thought make the danger of error most real and proximate. Neither should those passages be neglected which the Fathers have understood in an allegorical or figurative sense, more especially when such interpretation is justified by the literal, and when it rests on the authority of many. For this method of interpretation has been received by the Church from the Apostles, and has been approved by her own practice, as the holy Liturgy attests; although it is true that the holy Fathers did not thereby pretend directly to demonstrate dogmas of faith, but used it as a means of promoting virtue and piety, such as, by their own experience, they knew to be most valuable. The authority of other Catholic interpreters is not so great; but the study of Scripture has always continued to advance in the Church, and, therefore, these commentaries also have their own honourable place, and are serviceable in many ways for the refutation of assailants and the explanation of difficulties. But it is most unbecoming to pass by, in ignorance or contempt, the excellent work which Catholics have left in abundance, and to have recourse to the works of non-Catholics – and to seek in them, to the detriment of sound doctrine and often to the peril of faith, the explanation of passages on which Catholics long ago have successfully employed their talent and their labour. For although the studies of non-Catholics, used with prudence, may sometimes be of use to the Catholic student, he should, nevertheless, bear well in mind-as the Fathers also teach in numerous passages – that the sense of Holy Scripture can nowhere be found incorrupt outside of the Church, and cannot be expected to be found in writers who, being without the true faith, only gnaw the bark of the Sacred Scripture, and never attain its pith.
Then comes paragraph 18:
In the second place, we have to contend against those who, making an evil use of physical science, minutely scrutinize the Sacred Book in order to detect the writers in a mistake, and to take occasion to vilify its contents. Attacks of this kind, bearing as they do on matters of sensible experience, are peculiarly dangerous to the masses, and also to the young who are beginning their literary studies; for the young, if they lose their reverence for the Holy Scripture on one or more points, are easily led to give up believing in it altogether. It need not be pointed out how the nature of science, just as it is so admirably adapted to show forth the glory of the Great Creator, provided it be taught as it should be, so if it be perversely imparted to the youthful intelligence, it may prove most fatal in destroying the principles of true philosophy and in the corruption of morality. Hence to the Professor of Sacred Scripture a knowledge of natural science will be of very great assistance in detecting such attacks on the Sacred Books, and in refuting them. There can never, indeed, be any real discrepancy between the theologian and the physicist, as long as each confines himself within his own lines, and both are careful, as St. Augustine warns us, "not to make rash assertions, or to assert what is not known as known." If dissension should arise between them, here is the rule also laid down by St. Augustine, for the theologian: "Whatever they can really demonstrate to be true of physical nature, we must show to be capable of reconciliation with our Scriptures; and whatever they assert in their treatises which is contrary to these Scriptures of ours, that is to Catholic faith, we must either prove it as well as we can to be entirely false, or at all events we must, without the smallest hesitation, believe it to be so." To understand how just is the rule here formulated we must remember, first, that the sacred writers, or to speak more accurately, the Holy Ghost "Who spoke by them, did not intend to teach men these things (that is to say, the essential nature of the things of the visible universe), things in no way profitable unto salvation." Hence they did not seek to penetrate the secrets of nature, but rather described and dealt with things in more or less figurative language, or in terms which were commonly used at the time, and which in many instances are in daily use at this day, even by the most eminent men of science. Ordinary speech primarily and properly describes what comes under the senses; and somewhat in the same way the sacred writers-as the Angelic Doctor also reminds us – `went by what sensibly appeared," or put down what God, speaking to men, signified, in the way men could understand and were accustomed to.
Leo XIII is not holding the principle indicated by Dawes in the first paragraph unless "reason makes it untenable" is understood to mean that reason has disproved something conclusively. But insofar as it can be unreasonable to hold something which has not yet been disproved conclusively, there is no need to understand Pope Leo in such an unreasonable way. In the second paragraph, since Leo XIII understands the truth of Scripture to be a settled principle, he simply quotes St. Augustine as saying that if something is conclusively proved to be true of the world, then we cannot interpret Scripture to contradict that; and if something is conclusively proved to be the meaning of Scripture, then we cannot understand the world to contradict that. This does not mean that you must hold to a literal meaning of Scripture when there are good arguments that the thing stated would be false, just because those arguments are not conclusive.
It is clear enough that neither Leo XIII nor St. Augustine claim such a principle in the second paragraph, and there is at least no need to understand Leo XIII to be claiming the principle in the first paragraph. The same thing is true of St. Augustine, since Leo takes these words directly from a text in De Genesi ad litteram, where he says that we should not interpret the rivers mentioned in Genesis to be only figurative, if no "necessitas cogeret," and "ratio nulla prohibeat," that is, if no necessity requires us to take them figuratively only, and no argument prevents us from understanding them literally. Of course, as with Leo, there is no need for us to understand St. Augustine to be denying that we could be prevented from understanding them literally by a probable argument.
Finally, here is the passage from Pius XII cited by Dawes:
It remains for Us now to speak about those questions which, although they pertain to the positive sciences, are nevertheless more or less connected with the truths of the Christian faith. In fact, not a few insistently demand that the Catholic religion take these sciences into account as much as possible. This certainly would be praiseworthy in the case of clearly proved facts; but caution must be used when there is rather question of hypotheses, having some sort of scientific foundation, in which the doctrine contained in Sacred Scripture or in Tradition is involved. If such conjectural opinions are directly or indirectly opposed to the doctrine revealed by God, then the demand that they be recognized can in no way be admitted.
Obviously the supposedly Augustinian principle is contained here in no way.
Dawes begins to discuss whether someone holding to these principles can accept evolution or not, and after some discussion says:
What follows? Ken Miller attributes to Augustine the view that "even the 'literal' meaning of Genesis must not stand in contradiction to the kind of knowledge that today we would call 'scientific.'" But this is not quite correct. "The kind of knowledge that today we would call 'scientific'" cannot offer, nor does it claim to offer, the level of certainty that would warrant a reinterpretation of the biblical text, at least on a strict interpretation of Augustine's principles.
In the remainder of the paper Dawes does suggest some possible solutions which do not involve rejecting either Scripture or scientific knowledge. Nonetheless, like Fr. Brian Harrison, Dawes is attempting to cause tension between Scripture and the theory of evolution, although with a different motive. It is not surprising, therefore, that Fr. Harrison uses the supposed principle of St. Augustine in a similar way, except in order to argue that we must believe that the theory of evolution is false.
But this is wrong, both on the part of Fr. Harrison and on the part of Gregory Dawes, and likewise on the part of any others who argue in a similar manner, such as Robert Sungenis. St. Augustine does not hold the supposedly Augustinian principle. The texts of St. Augustine that are actually relevant to the topic are the first one quoted in this post, as well as that cited by St. Thomas, "We should not rush in headlong and so firmly take our stand on one side that, if further progress in the search of truth justly undermines this position, we too fall with it."
Natural science also makes progress in the search for truth, and the text of St. Augustine applies just as well to such progress as to any other.

SB 1506 Would Reduce Penalty for Drug Possession for Personal Use
By ACLU of Southern California
February 27, 2012 - 12:00am
With an eye towards ending punitive drug policies that have made the United States the world's largest incarcerator and cost taxpayers billions of dollars a year, Senator Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) on Friday introduced legislation to reduce the penalty for Californians who possess small amounts of drugs for their own personal use. The bill, SB 1506, co-sponsored by the ACLU of California, Drug Policy Alliance, Ella Baker Center for Human Rights and the California NAACP, changes the penalty for the simple possession of drugs under state law from a felony, which is punishable by up to three years behind bars, to a misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to one year behind bars. The reform would help alleviate overcrowding in state prisons and county jails and save the state millions of dollars annually.
"Over the years we have learned that long prison sentences do little to deter or limit personal drug use," said Senator Leno, D-San Francisco. "In fact, time behind bars and felony records often have horrible consequences for people trying to overcome addiction because they are unlikely to receive drug treatment in prison and have few job prospects and educational opportunities when they leave. This legislation will help implement public safety realignment and protect our communities by reserving prison and jail space for more serious offenders."
SB 1506 will significantly and safely reduce prison and jail populations, making room for people convicted of more serious offenses. The Legislative Analyst's Office estimates reducing penalties for drug possession will save counties about $159 million annually, in addition to yearly savings for the state totaling $64.4 million.
"The war on drugs has been an abysmal failure we can no longer afford," said Allen Hopper, Criminal Justice and Drug Policy Director at the ACLU of California. "California voters agree the punishment should fit the crime, and a felony for simple possession is ridiculous. Those who are addicted to drugs need treatment, not a jail cell and a felony conviction with severe and life-long consequences, like reduced access to job opportunities, student loans, and small business loans."
A statewide poll conducted by Lake Research Partners last year showed that most Californians – across party lines and geography – do not approve of lengthy prison sentences for minor drug possession. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of California voters strongly support the penalty reform proposed in SB 1506, including 79% of Democrats, 72% of Independents, and 66% of Republicans.
"This front-end sentencing reform is a critical step toward fixing our broken criminal justice system and making realignment work better in our communities," said Clarissa Woo Hermosillo, Director of Policy Advocacy with the ACLU of Southern California. "By changing this offense from a felony to misdemeanor, we will be taking a huge burden off of county jails, promoting access to effective drug treatment, and saving millions of dollars annually for our schools, health and human services, and local law enforcement."
Across the country, 13 states and the District of Columbia already make drug possession a misdemeanor. Many of these states, including New York and Delaware, in turn have the nation's highest admission rates for drug treatment programs.

            <DataTrigger.EnterActions>
                <BeginStoryboard>
                    <Storyboard>

            <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
        </DataTrigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

A: Можно сделать так:
1) Воспользуемся AttachedProperty, реализация которого предложена (@VladD)
public static class AnimatableDoubleHelper
{
    // Это attached property OriginalProperty. К нему мы будем привязывать свойство из VM,
    // и получать нотификацию об его изменении
    public static double GetOriginalProperty(DependencyObject obj) =>
        (double)obj.GetValue(OriginalPropertyProperty);
    public static void SetOriginalProperty(DependencyObject obj, double value) =>
        obj.SetValue(OriginalPropertyProperty, value);
    public static readonly DependencyProperty OriginalPropertyProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
            "OriginalProperty", typeof(double), typeof(AnimatableDoubleHelper),
            new PropertyMetadata(OnOriginalUpdated));

    // это "производное" attached property, которое будет
    // анимированно "догонять" OriginalProperty
    public static double GetAnimatedProperty(DependencyObject obj) =>
        (double)obj.GetValue(AnimatedPropertyProperty);
    public static void SetAnimatedProperty(DependencyObject obj, double value) =>
        obj.SetValue(AnimatedPropertyProperty, value);
    public static readonly DependencyProperty AnimatedPropertyProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
            "AnimatedProperty", typeof(double), typeof(AnimatableDoubleHelper));

    // это вызывается когда значение OriginalProperty меняется
    static void OnOriginalUpdated(DependencyObject o, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        double newValue = (double)e.NewValue;
        // находим элемент, на котором меняется свойство
        FrameworkElement self = (FrameworkElement)o;
        DoubleAnimation animation = // создаём анимацию...
            new DoubleAnimation(newValue, new Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.3)));
        // и запускаем её на AnimatedProperty
        self.BeginAnimation(AnimatedPropertyProperty, animation);
    }
}

2) Создаем простейшую разметку окна
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:viewModel="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1.ViewModel"
        xmlns:wpfApplication4="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1">
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition />
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Canvas Grid.Row="0">
            <!-- Используем наше AttachedProperty -->
            <TextBlock Canvas.Left="{Binding (wpfApplication1:AnimatableDoubleHelper.AnimatedProperty), RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
                       wpfApplication1:AnimatableDoubleHelper.OriginalProperty="{Binding Value}"
                       Text="Текст" />
        </Canvas>
        <Button Grid.Row="1" Command="{Binding DoCommand}" Content="Тыц" />
    </Grid>
</Window>

3) Создаем ViewModel, в которой будем изменять свойство Value.
public class MainViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
    public RelayCommand DoCommand { get; set; }

    public MainViewModel()
    {
        DoCommand = new RelayCommand(() =>
        {
            // В зависимости от наших условий измененяем значение свойства.
            Value = Value == 100 ? 0 : 100;
        });
    }
}


Okay wow, am I the worst blogger on the face of the universe? I'm really sorry I've been such a huge slacker lately. Between business trips, the flu and car problems, every second of every waking hour has been packed.
Anyways, I'm always on the lookout for interesting articles on ways to fight heart disease. Here's a goodie from the Indianapolis Star. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Some foods pack a particularly powerful punch when it comes to fighting heart disease.
"For some people, they're going to have a larger impact than others, depending on your family history," said Jennifer Jones, registered dietitian with St. Vincent Heart Center of Indiana.
For those with a history of heart disease, eating a diet that includes these foods can at least delay heart disease or help recovery after a cardiac event, she said.
1. Oatmeal: Oat bran in oatmeal is a good source of soluble fiber, which binds to cholesterol, helping to remove it from your body and lowering your LDL (bad) cholesterol. Other good fiber sources: kidney beans, apples, pears, citrus fruits, peas and Brussels sprouts.
2. Fish: Fatty types of fish are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which lower blood pressure and triglycerides. Good sources: salmon, mackerel, lake trout, herring and albacore tuna.
3. Soy: Soybeans are a rich source of protein, calcium, iron, B vitamins and fiber, and contain plant chemicals called isoflavones, which help protect against many diseases.
4. Nuts: Although nuts are high in calories, their unsaturated fatty acids help lower cholesterol and keep blood vessels healthy. Almonds and walnuts seem to have the most heart benefits.

Earth Day's Birthday!
How Bronx Science plans on commemorating the holiday's nifty fiftieth anniversary.
Jiada Valenza, Staff Reporter|April 15, 2020
Jiada Valenza
Vice President of LEAP Katelyn Lee '21 feels personally connected to the issue of climate change and awareness. "To me, Earth Day holds a lot of value. I think it's really important that we have a day dedicated to the wellbeing of our one and only Earth," said Lee.
In recent years, awareness of climate change and the need for conservation efforts have skyrocketed. With marches across the globe inspired by climate change activists like Greta Thunberg, much of the younger generation is taking the world by storm to combat the climate crisis. While we might recognize this movement as a novel one, climate change activism received its platform fifty years ago. With rampant pollution threatening future generations, Earth Day was born.
Even after fifty years, the goal of reducing the human impact on the Earth remains a prevalent sentiment on Earth Day, although the methods to execute it have changed. Today, those celebrating Earth Day can participate in The Great Global Cleanup, advocacy, and art builds, to name a few manifestations of environmentalism. This Earth Day, the students of Bronx Science will be joining an estimated one-billion people around the world in expressing their appreciation for the world we live in.
Scarlett Hu
President of the Painting Club, Scarlett Hu '21 believes that art is one of the most effective ways to promote conversation, as it is a universal language. "The visual appeal allows others to get the message almost instantly and realize what we are trying to spread, which can create more awareness overall. It also allows us to put more emotion into an artwork that some writing pieces aren't able to convey," said Hu '21.
To garner more awareness and better commemorate the anniversary, Bronx Science will be ramping up its ordinary festivities. The Painting Club plans on joining in on the celebration with the Earth Day Art Fair, continuing a club tradition. "Events such as these are pretty effective in celebrating the spirit of Earth Day because it allows us to spread awareness of the changes needed to help our planet. We can use our resources and members in the club by working as a community to impact the future in a positive way," said the President of the Painting Club, Scarlett Hu '21. The art contest will also be open to anyone, and submissions can be made at one of the club's meetings on Tuesdays in Room 009 after SGI up to a week before Earth Day.
LEAP is jumping in on the action of the Earth Day Fair as well, organizing the event alongside other environmental leadership groups at Bronx Science, like the Green Team. Throughout the year, LEAP informs members about community conservation efforts, focused on inspiring action. The Green Team takes on conservation through their online newsletter, which students can subscribe to. "The main goal of this fair is to provide an enjoyable way for people to learn about sustainability, environmental issues, and ways in which they can help make the world a healthier place," said Vice President of LEAP, Katelyn Lee '21. LEAP and the Bronx Science Green Team are working towards making the fair as fun as it is educational, with activities set to take place in the courtyard during lunch periods on the day of the fair.
The fair will also be centered around a specific theme, streamlining facilitated discussions around the issues faced by the environment today. "This year's major theme/focus is the climate crisis, which I find to be a very prevalent issue. I'm sure the majority of people know that we are in the middle of a severe climate crisis, and the attention that Earth Day raises is crucial in stopping the damage before it becomes beyond irreversible," said Lee. The theme of the climate crisis is yet another way in which this year's Earth Day celebrations differ greatly from its beginnings fifty years ago, during which the Earth was facing a smaller scale crisis of water pollution. As Lee explained, "The desire to save the environment and better the Earth still exists, and I believe that it's just recognized on a more global scale today."
Submissions to last year's art fair were abundant and helped in drawing attention to key issues on Earth Day. "Especially because of the present, with pollution, climate change, and the rapid increase in our population using up natural resources, I'd definitely say that Earth Day has become more necessary in spreading awareness of actions that will help the Earth," said President of the Painting Club, Scarlett Hu '21.
In light of Earth Day's fiftieth anniversary comes the question of how our actions to help the environment need to carry out beyond the single day in April. The activities which you can partake in on Earth Day do not need to stop once the day is over, as the Painting Club, Green Team, and LEAP have shown. "Art is a very effective way to promote conversation about such topics because if some people don't get hooked onto articles about the Earth, then art can get their attention," said Hu. The Painting Club hosts weekly meetings in which students can continue to make meaningful art that can make a difference in the world. Outside of school LEAP also makes the effort to get students involved in conservation efforts, hosting crafting sessions, as well as informing students of beach cleanups. "A fair isn't necessary to set time aside within the club to capture the essence of what Earth Day stands for," said Lee.
As these club leaders have demonstrated, anyone can get involved in the fight for and celebration of our Earth. Though April's festivities have a powerful effect, it's clear that students don't need it to be Earth Day in order to take action in the name of our planet.

Q: FCKEditor doesn't set Value property on postback! I'm using FCKEditor on my asp.net web page.  It appears beautifully, and the editor looks really good on the front end.  Only problem is, the .Value property is not being set on the postback.  No matter what changes the user makes to the value of the control on the page, when I click "Submit", the .Value property remains blank.
I have Googled for other solutions, and most of them are of the variety where there's some conflict with Ajax, such as this and this.  My problem is not solved by these solutions; it's much more fundamental than that.  I'm not doing anything to do with Ajax; I'm just a simple asp.net newbie with a simple web form, and the value property is not being set on postback, not in IE and not in FF.
It appears that at least one other person has had this problem, but no solution yet.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

A: Problem with getting value from FCKeditor (FCKeditor.Value) at ASP.Net
1. If initial value FCKeditor.Value not set, there is no problem, all values, which are placed to FCKeditor can get with FCKeditor.Value.
2. Problem: if initial value FCKeditor.Value is not null, then if I want get value, it gives me only initial value.
I have solved!!!!
I spent the whole day ... Hardly found the answer.
Specially registered to write a reply!
Look! Example:
// Set initial value to FCKeditor
void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataTable dT_01 = new DataTable();
      dT_01 = DataLayerMainContent.ArticlesSelect(2);
      FCKeditor_Edit.Value = dT_01.Rows[0]["ArticleText"].ToString();
}

Attention!!!
You have not to do this here!!
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Not here!!!
}

// And get Value from FCKeditor
protected void Btn_ContentEditedSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //FCKeditor_Edit.Value
    // And add this value to DataBase
    DataLayerAdminPost.ContentMainEdit(1, FCKeditor_Edit.Value);
    Response.Redirect(Request.RawUrl);
}

Main Idea!
Set initial value to FCKeditor at Page_Init!

A: Have you got ViewState enabled? ANS = Yes
EDIT:  OK, then inside the Page_Init event try adding the following:
Page.RegisterRequiresPostBack(FCKeditor1);

A: The solution above didn't work for me, however i found solution here
Here's code what I used
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ScriptManager.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(
        this,
        this.GetType(),
        "AjaxHack", "for ( var i = 0; i < parent.frames.length; ++i ) if ( parent.frames[i].FCK ) parent.frames[i].FCK.UpdateLinkedField();");
}

Hope that saves someones day. I was looking for the solution for 2 months.
Cheers

Tattoo Hollywood has come and gone. I think I'm still trying to recover from the jet lag. I had a great time this year. This post, however, is not about me, it's about the Best in Show award winner. Seeing as I was a crew member, I got to see a lot of the work that people were getting. I'm not lying when I say I was blown away and competition for all the contests was really stiff! The smiles on attendees faces said it all.
Unfortunately, I had to spend Sunday evening at the booth selling admission bracelets so I didn't get to watch the contests take place that night. The judges Sunday night were Clark North, Jimmy Utah and Little Linda and the contest culminated with the "Best in Show" piece, which was a piece started and finished at the convention. While I didn't get to see the contest, I did get to see the winner's progress as the tattoo, which took 9 hours to complete, was worked on.
Without any further rambling, I give you this year's Best in Show winner, none other than Katie McShady! Katie was tattooed by Japanese artist Horiren. Horiren practices tebori, the traditional Japanese method of hand tattooing. She used a tattoo machine to make the outline mainly to save on time and the rest of the tattoo was completed by hand.
Want to know more? Read on!
I was also tattooed by Horiren and Katie and I had a lot of time to compare notes, so to speak. The process was surprisingly less painful than the experience of being tattooed with a machine. I stopped by to check out the progress several times as Katie was being tattooed. She looked very zen and relaxed, iPod on, eyes closed as a crowd watched Horiren work. The photo below was taken many hours in to the tattoo and Katie is still smiling!
She didn't use a stencil. I'm not sure if she ever does. The tattoo was drawn on by hand with a sterile marker prior to starting. Katie hardly had any swelling even after a full 9 hours of tattooing. Once finished, Horiren proclaimed, "WE FINISHED!! VERY VERY STRONG GIRL" and, as Katie says, continued to praise her strength in Japanese. Katie was given a ceremonial robe to wear and many photos were taken. Katie says she began crying because she was so overwhelmed by the experience, which she calls life changing.
Photo by Jon Arthur
These photos were taken the day of the contest, the day after Katie was tattooed.
After winning Katie was given a trophy and Horiren was given a special prize, a tattoo machine from Lucky Supply that had the Hollywood sign on it. Congratulations to Katie and to Horiren for her incredible work!
As photos come in you'll be able to see them in the Tattoo Hollywood Gallery. If I can get a photo of Horiren's prize I'll update the post to include it.

I'm getting that even when I'm logged in. Even when I can see the photo on the gallery page, it's still giving me that error when I try to click-through. That, and I'm getting the error after only 4 pages of the gallery. I'm logged in.

I've sat for that long and I was hella swollen. I can imagine the hand-done tattooing would be less intense on the skin.
Looks amazing for one session and also for being hand-done.

Q: How many functions can I put into an arduino uno? Is it realistic to put the following: GPS module, GSM module, SD card slot and about 4 analog sensors into Arduino uno? (have not yet goten an Arduino in my hands).

A: How many functions? That depends on a few factors. First, will I have enough pins? The GPS module will probably take up two PWM pins (Rx and Tx) but I recommend you hook the Rx and Tx of the GPS directly into the hardware serial Rx and Tx of the Uno. The senors will probably use a single analog pin each. The Arduino Uno has six. I'm not sure how many pins the GSM module will take up but you have at least 3 PWM pins left to fool around with. The SD card, from my understanding, can be hooked up directly to the Uno using SPI and the ICSP pins. I'm not certain of this, so it's probably worth doing some more research on. The SD card will require at least 2 PWM pins if you're not able to use ICSP.
Second, will I have enough RAM and flash memory? As soon as you start doing lots of stuff on the Uno you realize that 2KB of RAM and 31.5KB of flash memory isn't a lot. The Arduino IDE will tell you if your sketch is too big to fit on the Uno when you compile it, so draw up a quick sketch that has all the library/function calls you need and go from there.
Third, will I have enough serials? I've only been able to get two serial connections working on the Uno (but I've been told you can get three working with some hassling). That is the hardware serial (accessed by the Serial object) and a SoftwareSerial object. The GPS will definitely utilize one of these and I bet your GSM module will use the other. Don't forget about debugging! Since you won't be able to have all three of these hooked up to your Uno I recommended debugging with the GSM module. Get this working and then move all your debugging code from Serial to your GSM connection. That way instead of using the Serial output on your computer you'll have to read from wherever your GSM module is sending data to.

X-amining New Mutants #20
"Badlands"
The New Mutants defeat the Demon Bear.
the writer: Chris Claremont
the artist: Bill Seinkiewicz
the letterer: Tom Orzechowski
the colorist: Glynis Wein
the editor: Ann Nocenti
the editor who is much taller, and coincidentally, Chief: Jim Shooter
In the Demon Bear's domain, a dimension which resembles an untainted American West, the New Mutants watch as the bear transforms Officer Tom Corsi and Nurse Sharon Friedlander into American Indian demons. As the New Mutants battle the demons, the bear attempts to pierce Illyana's wards protecting the doctors operating on Dani back in the real world. As the battle rages, the bear grows more powerful and his corruption fills the land. Amara saves Roberto from one of the demons, leaving her open for an attack by the bear, which transforms her into a demon as well. Illyana uses her Soulsword to fight off the bear, then plunges it into the possessed Amara. Believing Illyana has been consumed by her dark side and killed Amara, Sam attacks her, but a restored Amara admonishes Sam, telling him Illyana saved her. As the New Mutants regroup and debate their next move, Illyana convinces Rahne to re-establish her rapport with Dani so they can learn why the bear fears her. As the bear continues to attack Illyana's wards, she uses her Soulsword to destroy the demons possessing Tom and Sharon.
Rahne learns from Dani that Illyana's sword is the key. As Amara distracts the Demon Bear with fire, Sam flies Illyana towards it, where she plunges the Soulsword into the monster's skull, splitting it in two. The bear fades away as two people appear from inside it. Suddenly everyone is back at the hospital. Rahne notices that though freed from demonic possession, Tom and Sharon are still stuck as American Indians, while the two people who emerged from the bear introduce themselves as Dani's parents. Just then, the doctor emerges from surgery, declaring that Dani will survive, but she'll be totally paralyzed. However, back at the mansion, Storm calls on the Morlock Healer to help Dani, and though her recovery will be long and difficult, she will eventually regain full movement. Dani is then reunited with her parents, who explain that they were enslaved and transformed into the Demon Bear by a malevolent entity and forced to hunt down their daughter. Professor Xavier muses that he may need to consult with Dr. Strange on the matter, then expresses how proud he is of the New Mutants.
Firsts and Other Notables
Tom Corsi and Sharon Friedlander are transformed into American Indian demons in this issue, and though Illyana purges them of the demon possessing, they will remain American Indians.
They're not exactly significant characters, but this issue marks the first non-Demon Bear appearance of Dani's parents, William and Peg Lonestar (not Moonstar, for some reason; presumably an oversight), following the revelation that they were magically transformed into the bear.
It's never made clear exactly who the entity which enslaved Dani's parents and transformed them into the Demon Bear, though a response to a letter in a future issue will pin it on the Advesary, the mystical antagonist of the "Fall of the Mutants" crossover, whose future machinations were hinted at in Uncanny X-Men #184.
Chronologically, the entirety of "The Demon Bear Saga", including this issue, occurs prior to the events of Uncanny X-Men #184.
Rahne continues to be uneasy around Illyana, referring to her as a witch and expressing distrust of her motivations.
When attacked, Illyana once again manifests protective armor, and this time there's considerably more of it.
Storm calls on the services of the Morlock Healer to help Dani.
Dani's parents mention that Dani's grandfather cast a protective spell over her which lasted until his death in Marvel Graphic Novel #4, explaining why the bear didn't come after her until she'd come to Xavier's school.
Fighting in the bear's extradimensional home, Magma can cut loose with volcanoes without us worrying about the larger implications of such a power.
Claremontisms
Sam is thankful that he's invulnerable while blasting, while we're reminded that Illyana's Soulsword is the "ultimate expression" of her magical abilities.
Artistic Achievements
There's a neat bit on a handful of pages in which a grid in the upper left corner depicts the layout of the land, marking the areas where the Demon Bear's corruption has spread, with each grid showing more and more dark areas as the issue progresses.
Sam flies into a rage and attacks Magik when he thinks she's killed Magma.
Chris Claremont on the reaction to Bill Sienkiewicz's art
"One of the major benefits of Bill coming on The New Mutants, for example, was that, up until that point, what we had was a book where the letters, the reader reaction was, 'it's very nice.' 'I like it.' 'I don't like it.' 'It's okay.' Whereas after Bill took over, 'I love Bill's stuff.' 'I hate Bill's stuff.' 'He is God's gift to art.' 'When are you going to sharpen his pencil?' 'What you have is a true artist.' 'Why is it that everybody in this book looks like Bill the Cat?' The response got much more extreme. But people got passionately involved in the book. They cared about it. They loved it or they hated it, but everybody talked about it. Everybody was aware of it. And to my mind that's what we are in large measure there to do. Books that people care about, that get them excited and interested, and willing to come back next month to see what happens. A book that someone likes is a book that someone can put down and walk away from. And that's fatal in any publishing form."
Thompson, Kim. "Chris Claremont." Amazing Heroes July 1985: p48
Teebore's Take
"The Demon Bear Saga" wraps up, somewhat perfunctorily, as Claremont replaces the atmosphere and mounting tension of last issue with more traditional (and admittedly somewhat requisite) fist-punching superheroics. The payoff to the "Demon Bear fears Dani" subplot also comes up short, as the notion of using Illyana's Soulsword against the creature isn't something all that intrinsic to Dani while, frankly, Illyana shouldn't have needed Dani's help to come up with that idea. It falls to Sienkiewicz then, to livens things up, and he's more than up to the task, taking advantage of the surreal setting to turn in some stunning double page spreads that make great use of open space. He also does a magnificent job in depicting the demonically-possessed Tom and Sharon, rendering them not as traditional reptilian demons but as surreal and genuinely creepy figures in a manner that would only work in a comic book. And while the action sequences are, plot-wise, relatively standard, Sienkiewicz imbues them with enough energy to make them seem fresh and exciting (Amara's volcanoes are particularly impressive). The end result shows that, even when Claremont may falter, Sienkiewicz can elevate the material all on his own.
Claremont and Barry Windsor Smith bring us "Life Death" in Uncanny X-Men #186, while the New Mutants have a slumber party in New Mutants #21.

Okay, I just noticed that your Uncanny posts have the issue cover on the right side with the text on the left, and your New Mutants posts are the opposite. Nice touch! I guess the next evolution is that if/when you start X-Factor, the cover should be right in the middle, breaking every line of text in half.
"Tom Corsi and Sharon Friedlander are transformed into American Indian demons in this issue..."
Such a weird thing to do. I really wonder if he wanted to go someplace with this, or if it was just for the heck of it.
Also, do we ever find out how Tom and Sharon dealt with this? Did they try to explain it to their friends and family, or did they just immediately sever all contact with the rest of the world? Sometimes it seems the latter, since they basically live at Xavier's from now on. But that seems so weird. I can only hope Claremont had planned to do more with these two that he never got around to, because otherwise, what's the point?
"Storm calls on the services of the Morlock Healer to help Dani."
I will probably mention this every time he shows up, but... that's still the coolest ever design for a throw-away character in comic book history.
Austin Gorton February 7, 2013 at 2:04 PM
@Matt: I guess the next evolution is that if/when you start X-Factor, the cover should be right in the middle, breaking every line of text in half.
Ha! Actually, the right/left pattern is just born of me wanting to alternate the layout of the posts so that if anyone was to scroll through the list it would look better than just having all the pics on one side. I'm just anal retentive like that (when/if we post something with a left-aligned picture at the top prior to an Uncanny post, the Uncanny pic would be on the right and New Mutants on the left).
So when it gets to be X-Factor time, its cover will usually end up on the left, following the right-aligned New Mutants cover.
Also, do we ever find out how Tom and Sharon dealt with this?
Not really, no. Near as I remember, they pretty much, as you said, just live at Xavier's from now on. They hang around in the background for awhile, Empath tries to make them sex each other to death, then pretty much disappear until the 90s (when Tom dies, if memory serves).
It seems like Claremont made the change to underline the point at the end of this story about how no matter how good/successful your good intentions/actions, innocents can still get caught in the crossfire, but it seems like an awfully radical change just to underscore that point, and a waste of that change to really do nothing else with it.
Teebore -- "Actually, the right/left pattern is just born of me wanting to alternate the layout of the posts..."
Ohh, okay. That probably explains why I never really noticed it till now.
Teebore -- "(when Tom dies, if memory serves)"
Actually it's Sharon who dies, killed by the Acolytes in one of the Uncanny issues leading up to "Fatal Attractions". Tom briefly holds his own against the Acolytes with a shotgun or something, until the X-Men show up to save him (that was one of the earlier Uncanny issues I recall buying, so it's seared into my memory).
I distinctly recall that I thought they were throwaway characters created for that issue, until I later learned about their past appearances. Then I got a little sad because, as John Byrne has said in reference to Candy Southern, Sharon didn't seem important enough to be killed off!
As I recall from my readings of Not Blog X, Tom later surfaced teaching at the Massachusetts Academy during Jay Faerber's run on Generation X.
As much as I love Sienkiewicz's art, I must admit that he can leave storytelling behind in favor of imagery. Claremont should have done a better job explaining the creation of the Demon Bear, but Sienkiewicz might have been the one who dropped the plot regarding why the bear feared Dani. My guess is that the bear feared hurting Dani, rather that her power or skill.
Still, the fight is very well executed. The bear's claws going through characters and, as noted, the demon designs are effectively creepy. I love the panel in which the bear's claws tear through reality and a doctor operating on Dani gets a glimpse of the battle. The bear's face as Magik cuts it open, and the inky mass giving way to Dani's parents work beautifully. Also, Storm has never looked better than she did when Sienkiewicz drew her by Dani's bedside.
Claremont describing readers' reactions to the Sienkiewicz New Mutants is great. The closest modern equivalent is the uproar that greeted the Milligan/ Allred X-Force. I agree with Claremont: invigoratingly risky outdoes stately and professional.

I don't know that this needs explicit mention, but it's Sienkiewicz who lettered the credits, title, and stuff on the double-page splash below the first appearance of that chart. His title appears to have been statted for reuse on the cover as well because it's an exact match.
You're right that the finale comes up a little short — both the last chapter in general, although as you say it is after all still a mainstream monthly superhero title, and for me especially the last couple of pages. The very end wasn't quite as abrupt as Marvel Fanfare #4's epilogue, but it still felt a little stilted. While I suspect that the transition from Dani asking her father who turned them into the demon bear to, in the next panel, Xavier answering the same question from Roberto was meant to be a neat trick, it instead felt somewhat more clumsy and done out of necessity than it did elegant.
And you're right, too, that Sienkiewicz's rendering of it all is a fine consolation prize. It's completely true what you say about his use of open space and, in fact, that's sort-of a metaphor (or maybe not a metaphor or even an analogy but an indication of some kind) for what I like in his work at this stage. Not only do we get the tension between everyday, contained figures or objects and the crazy-ass radiating lines, ink splatter, etc.; what really grabs me is how he takes almost photorealistic things and people, squares off what would usually be round edges, and, getting back to what you say about the external open spaces, leaves vast blank areas where other artists would noodle in all kinds of detail. "Less is more" would hardly be a phrase you'd think to apply to Sienkiewicz, and it's not that exactly, but I really enjoy the judicious tension between the fussiness and that open space.
The cop and nurse being left as Native Americans really is weird. So help out a long-ago-lapsed reader here, who actually knows Betsy Braddock from the Moore & Davis Captain Britain more than from a few intermittent glimpses of Psylocke in X-Men: Is a demon bear what turned her into a purple-haired Asian woman?
We've hit a tipping point, by the way, methinks. I had more to say about The New Mutants this week than Uncanny X-Men. And I'm not surprised. If I'm reading your writeups right, you're more interested in New Mutants than you had been, too, although not yet (and maybe not ever) more interested in New Mutants than in X-Men. I guess that for a while, and maybe always, X-Men will have more in the way of firsts and notables to spark continuity/history discussion, but for me at least I think the proportions of meat on the bone in each series has switched.
Claremont: 'Why is it that everybody in this book looks like Bill the Cat?'
That is fantastic. And I actually remember reading it now that I see it again.
@Matt: that's still the coolest ever design for a throw-away character
What I love is that he is still just a 20th-century human mutant, so that costume — and maybe even his affected speech — is purely for kicks. It's like Morlock all-the-time cosplay, which admittedly makes more sense when you actually have superpowers. "I live in the sewers, my good man, not Kentucky."
@Teebore: Near as I remember, they pretty much, as you said, just live at Xavier's from now on.
I still have 20 issues' worth of Uncanny X-Men to go before we hit where I dropped it, by the way, and I have no memory of these characters moving into the mansion like you and Matt say.
@Teebore: They hang around in the background for awhile, Empath tries to make them sex each other to death
What the what?!?
@Mike: I love the panel in which the bear's claws tear through reality and a doctor operating on Dani gets a glimpse of the battle. The bear's face as Magik cuts it open, and the inky mass giving way to Dani's parents work beautifully. Also, Storm has never looked better than she did when Sienkiewicz drew her by Dani's bedside.
I agree with all of that, very much so.
Austin Gorton February 18, 2013 at 12:36 PM
@Matt: Actually it's Sharon who dies, killed by the Acolytes in one of the Uncanny issues leading up to "Fatal Attractions".
Ah, yeah, I'd gotten them mixed up. I remember Tom with the shotgun, I just misremembered that he was killed shortly thereafter.
@Mike: Claremont should have done a better job explaining the creation of the Demon Bear, but Sienkiewicz might have been the one who dropped the plot regarding why the bear feared Dani.
Could be. Something seems to have gotten dropped, in any case.
Also, Storm has never looked better than she did when Sienkiewicz drew her by Dani's bedside.
@Blam: ...in the next panel, Xavier answering the same question from Roberto was meant to be a neat trick, it instead felt somewhat more clumsy and done out of necessity than it did elegant.
It definitely read as clumsy to me.
I really enjoy the judicious tension between the fussiness and that open space.
Well said, there and throughout your analysis.
Is a demon bear what turned her into a purple-haired Asian woman?
Nope, that was the Mandarin. With a little help from the Siege Perilous.
If I'm reading your writeups right, you're more interested in New Mutants than you had been, too, although not yet (and maybe not ever) more interested in New Mutants than in X-Men.
This is definitely the point at which my affection for New Mutants kicks into gear, as I've never been a big fan of the pre-Sienkiewicz stuff. But it also helps that, with Sienkiewicz aboard, there's more to talk about, both in terms of his art directly and the stuff that comes about from his apparent re-energizing of Claremont.
As you say, X-Men will probably always be the dominate book, even if there are times when I personally favor one of the other books over it (for example, when Claremont is doing all his post-"Dissolution and Rebirth"/non team stuff prior to Jim Lee's arrival, I much prefer the more soap opera-y X-Factor).
They pop up exclusively in New Mutants. I'm fairly certain that never even appear in Uncanny until #298.
You'll see. :)
Comment. Please. Love it? Hate it? Are mildly indifferent to it? Let us know!
