Not mentioning him yesterday was simply an oversight on my part, but when I realized I wasn't familiar with Gabriel, the host of the Uni-power, a quick flip through the Captain Universe tpb you sent (thanks again for that) confirmed I have some backstory to fill in.

It occurs to me I forgot to mention Captain Universe in my treatment of the Starlord mini-series
Don't forget the kitchen sink! I think they have covered just about all the cosmic characters by now, and their offspring.
Just read the last few chapters of Annihilation 1-6. It was fun. Pretty well constructed story. The early warfare chapters worked great. Giffen does the good Leone/Tarantino "tough guys in space". Even the women were tough guys.
I think you need a story where the heroes are up against a definite 'existential threat' for that kind of worship of martiality to be passable. For the writer to be cheering on these 'strong men' in a more civilised context would be verging on fascism.
But that's what these stories are for. To give us an outlet for 'uncivilised urges'. Like good Conan stories. I pretty much enjoyed it. My wife had to ask me what I was chuckling at while I read it. Drax getting his 'pound of flesh' from Thanos was one such moment. It seems he gets better though... As did Super-Skrull.
Still to read Heralds of Galactus. I am wondering how Silver Surfer resigned himself to being Galactus herald again. Perhaps he allowed his individuality to be subsumed to a higher power? Fascism is like that. :-)
I also have Nova vol 4 1 & 2 as well around here somewhere...
You don't go into the plot details with Annihilation: Conquest, but it looks like the early books are just there to mark time until Conquest starts?
Is Bug still only 6 inches tall? Does he have any company?
If I've learned nothing else from this reading project, I can now spell "Annihilation". It took me a while to get it ...
No, I wouldn't say the comics leading into Annihilation Conquest are "marking time," per se. More like positioning pieces on a chessboard before moving them into play. Bug is human size. I'm not quite certain how he got that way and why he's in the "macroverse" in the first place, but I probably have the comic that explains it sitting around in my recent backissue waiting to be read.
As far as I know (not that I'm any kind of expert), the last time Bug appeared before Annihilation was in the Peter David Captain Marvel comic, before the reboot. I just went and flipped through those issues, and at that time he was still in the Microverse with no explanation (or intention) of his coming to the Macroverse as far as I could tell. So it could be that the current status quo is an as-yet untold story.... (I suppose it could've been explained in an issue of Guardians of the Galaxy and I just forgot, but I don't think that's the case.)
I'll definitely be reading that Captain Marvel run at some point in the future. Wasn't Avengers Forever his first appearance? So I've always wondered how he got on after that...
Also the first few issues of PAD's CM read very much like a sequel to his Hulk, which I'm plenty good with.
Maybe after I finish the Micronauts...

Marvel's own online character biography doesn't say why Bug is human-sized now. I also checked the unofficial Marvel wiki but it didn't help, either.

Genis-Vell debuted as Legacy in one of Marvel's Annuals (Silver Surfer??) the year where each had a (usually ill-conceived and unappealing) new hero featured. He was the best of the bunch, but that's not saying much. (Poisin, Battling Bantam, Blood Wraith, etc).

Oops. Missed that. Guess I just thought he had a furry psychic space vampire attached to his spinal column.
With that whole look .... It was never going to end well for Legacy.

Wasn't Avengers Forever his first appearance?
The character-formerly-known-as-Legacy was re-tooled in Avengers Forever, yes, which lead directly into the PAD Captain Marvel series (including a Wizard "zero issue"). Prior to that, he appeared in many sundry and diverse comics (more than you might think), including a brief solo series.
I wasn't going to say anything...
You might want to go the whole hog and read the Nova Essential...
Okay, I did!
When I was very young I was eager to get in on the ground floor of any new title, but by the late '70s/early '80s I was more interested in completing runs of long-established titles. I was perfectly content to ignore, for example, She-Hulk (until she joined the Avengers and crossed over into Hulk #282) and Rom (until he crossed over into Hulk #296. So it was with Nova, but it was actually the appearance of the villain Blackout( in Avengers #236-237) which lead me backwards into Nova #19. I like what I read well enough to pick up the entire series as backissues. (That would have been 1983.) I read the entire series through once but I wasn't impressed enough to read it more than once and traded it away shortly thereafter.
I just finished reading the entire series for the second time ever, though, and I must admit I am more impressed than I was the first time 27 years ago. Nova represents Marv Wolfman's conscious attempt to imitate the old Marvel heroes of the '60s (and the addition of artist Carmine Infantino in issue #15 adds a bit of DC flavor as well). Marv Wolfman's plots were more structured than Stan Lee's early efforts, with subplots and characterization throughout. Here's a brief run-down of the series' main plots by issue:
1: Origin
2: Powerhouse and Condor
3: Diamond Head
4: Corruptor (guest-starring Thor)
5: Tyrannus (and Marvel bullpen)
6-7: Sphinx; Powerhouse, Condor and Diamond Head
8-9: Megaman
10-11: Sphinx; Powerhouse, Condor and Diamond Head
12: Crossover with Spider-Man
13: Sandman; Crimebuster
14: Sandman
15: Crimebuster; Nick Fury (CI)
16-18: Yellow Claw; Nick Fury
19: Blackout
20: Inner Circle
21: Corruptor
22: Comet; Diamondhead
23: Comet; Diamondhead; Dr. Sun; Sphinx
24: Comet; Diamondhead; Dr. Sun; Sphinx; Powerhouse; Crimebuster
25. All of the above go into space!
It's obvious he had the entire arc (and beyond!) plotted out in advance from issue #1, but the problem is he took too long to develop it. (I had the same opinion in 1983, but I've grown to appreciate the structure more now than I did then.) Issue #20 begins the arc final story which barrels headlong to the series cancellation. Issue #25 really kicks the story into high gear, but by then it was too late. I think Wolfman wanted to establish Nova as a strictly Earth-bound hero before moving the series in a more cosmic direction, but I think the series might have succeed if he had moved the series to the next level around issue #12 or so.

A Color Map of the Sun, Pretty Lights
By Daniel Mescher
· Jul. 29, 2013, 8:29 pm
Colorado native Derek Vincent Smith's Pretty Lights project has always been the most accessible entryway into the so-called "EDM" (electronic dance music) scene. Smith achieved household name status in the vastly popular though esoteric modern rave scene through vivacious yet clever sample-based medleys of hip-hop, soul, and yes, electronica that eschew the more extreme wobble bass assaults of his peers Skrillex and Bassnectar. While those two artists' take on dubstep, a genre which began with modest roots in the UK before its commoditized Americanized version swept the festival scene by storm, can reach nearly comical speaker-shaking heights when played on home speakers, the music of Pretty Lights sounds just as comfortable on your car stereo as in a field of three thousand sweaty fans.
A Color Map of the Sun is the fourth album Pretty Lights album of a discography that blends together nearly seamlessly. It's a prodigious effort spanning well past the 70-minute mark that touches base with the myriad of genres Smith has incorporated in his past work. Pretty Lights is the type of act that inspires a rabid cult following, and in my conversations with more zealous members of that club, they attest Smith's album work is best devoured as a whole, disregarding track or even album distinctions: just push play and don't bother reading your iPod screen. I won't argue the point, but nevertheless Color Map is an album distinguished by its highlights. Rave-friendly tracks like bombastic "Let's Get Busy" and "Around the Block", which features a turn from veteran rap powerhouse Talib Kweli, will please the festival circuit crowds, but the record's finest tracks are those based on soulful vocals and horn samples: the declarative opener "The Color of My Soul", the elegantly melodic "Yellow Bird", the dark and obscure "Almost All Ways". Furthermore, the last third of the album, beginning with "Done Wrong" and including the riveting synth-propelled "Prophet", ranks among the best electronica of Smith's work, and certainly some of the best electronic music of 2013.
Critics and music journalists have been quick to liken A Color Map of the Sun to another sprawling electronica work released this year, Daft Punk's Random Access Memories. The basis for comparison is easy, but lazy: dance-based artist releases long-running opus simultaneously championed and decried by critics and masses. But in addition to the obvious stylistic differences in the two works, Smith's work, as he was quick to point out in a recent VIBE interview, is inherently his own. While Random Access Memories bloats with guest collaborations, Smith limits visitors to the occasional guest rapper, allowing the efforts of his samples to shine. Those samples remarkably were all composed and recorded by Smith himself (his first full-length to do so) and can be heard on the album's bonus disc: they are occasionally revelatory and certainly worth a listen, which, given the album's lengthy running time, attests to the album's quality. Long-winded? Perhaps. But A Color Map of the Sun is the sound of an established voice in electronica completely taking over the reins on a grandiose effort with manifest success.

4- How to increase your visibility online?

7- How to convert traffic into leads?

11- Understand digital marketing platforms like SEO, Online advertising, lead generation, social media marketing, mobile marketing, web analytics, email marketing and content marketing.
Digital marketing is doing marketing of products, services, brands or people on Internet using digital devices like laptops, tablets and mobile phones.
Contrary to what most of us think becoming a good digital marketer has nothing to do with technical knowledge like HTML, JAWA, web development.
To deeply understand digital marketing it is important that we understand marketing first. So what is marketing? Marketing is all about identifying your potential buyers and communicating value to them.
So when all of the activities or some of the activities mentioned above are done on Internet it becomes part of digital marketing. So we reach out to our prospects on Internet using digital devices and propose value of our products and services, create utility and run advertising and promotional campaigns to sell.
Startups, SME's and corporates have identified potential of marketing themselves online (digital marketing) and are constantly identifying ways to reach their prospects on Internet.
So to summarize everything- Digital marketing is nothing but pure marketing done on Internet using digital devices.
There has to be some reasons behind digital marketing becoming popular and taking marketers by storm. Lets see why digital marketing has become so important and its benefits.
1) 8 Reasons : Why a business needs Digital Marketing?
3)186% Rise in Entrepreneurship! Thanks to Affordable Digital Advertising!
So if you are planning to start with marketing your products/services digitally then this guide tells you how to do it in the most easy and precise manner.
For our website to open on web it needs to be uploaded on a web server. Hence we need to buy a space on web server where we can upload files and folders of our website which can be then connected to our domain name through Name servers.
what is it that you want your visitors to know? Whether you want to sell online or you just want to provide information about your business.
This is a very important task that is missed by 99.9% of digital marketers. By conceptualizing we mean how your website will look like. What will come where. How many pages will there be on your website. What info will your home page provide and what other pages will have on them. One general mistake that we do is putting too much info on our website home page. Home page should resemble our business or website and should mainly act as a gateway to other pages.
Once we have designed a page then there is always a change that it may not perform as per our expectations. So it is always good to create two or three versions of one page, with minor changes in each one, and test which one is performing good. Which one is more engaging? Which one is having a low bounce rate. On which web page visitors spend more time?
After conceptualizing our website and creating blueprint of all its webpages next task is to have all web pages designed and developed by a web developer. If you are not well versed with coding and HTML then you may go for wordpress as it is world's most common third party platform where any layman can easily develop a website without messing up with codes. Moreover there are thousands of wordpress themes available for free and paid to choose from.
7- Have some social media visibility by creating a Facebook page.
If you are a company then you can also go ahead and create a page on Linkedin. Signing up on instagram is also a good option as it is spreading up in masses really fast.
8- Have a blog section on your website or start writing blog on free blogging platforms like tumblr.com, hubpages.com, etc.
Content marketing is the new form of marketing which helps you to reach masses bring targeted audience on your website and build a positive brand image. If you write a blog regularly then it will not only bring added visitors to your website but will also help you generate more leads.
9- Get your website mentioned on your business cards or brochures.
This is the least that you can do. Letting people know that you are not living in stone age and do have enough web presence will send a good message across your clientage.
Advertising online can be tricky at times but if done carefully it can change gears for your business.
Google adwords is an advertising program where we can target our potential customers by showing ads on Google search engine result page on target keywords. Suppose we are an ecommerce website selling shoes online. Then we can show our ads to people who search for queries related to shoes or buy shoes or even buy nike shoes. Google adwords is a highly targeted and precise way of reaching out to your potential customers. The bast part about adowrds is that it is Pay Per Click (PPC) form of advertising i.e. we do not have to pay anything unless and until some one clicks on our ad and visits our website. Other than SERP targeting Google adwords also lets you advertise on its network of partner websites known as display network which is having 2.5 million website approximately. For eg- you can advertise on youtube.com or indiatimes.com from adwords itself.
Facebook being number one social networking website in world has an excellent advertising platform. Facebook primarily has two types of ads. 1- Newsfeed ads and 2- Right hand side ads. Apart from this Facebook lets you target people on their interest basis, age, gender, geographical location, demographics, occupation, education and online behavior.
– You can further advertise on website which are frequently visited by your targeted traffic. Suppose you are targeting students then you can advertise on websites like meritnation.com or shiksha.com. This form of advertising can be done via agencies or directly by contacting websites.
3- How to increase brand awareness with limited resources?
4- How to earn money in every stage of digital marketing?
how to do digital marketing.
Step 1- Planning your visibility on web.
The first and foremost step in digital marketing process to increase your visibility online. Just like we need some place from where we can operate our offline business and our customers can approach us. Similarly when you talk about doing digital marketing the first step is to increase your visibility on various platforms where we can be in front of our potential customers.
2- Having a business page on Facebook or linkedin.
3- We can also have a profile on Google my business.
4- Writing a blog will also help us in increasing our visibility.
There are 3 different ways on how to increase your visibility online.
Increase in visibility leads in to traffic coming to our visibility platforms like website, landing pages, Facebook pages, youtube channel, etc. But it is easier said then done.
We can bring traffic to our website by doing inbound marketing or outbound marketing. Outbound and inbound is like push and pull in offline marketing but a lot more effective.
Outbound marketing is like reaching out to your prospects yourself. For example- we have an email marketing list. We prepare a nice emailer with our website link and shoot emails. As a result some of the people on that list open our email and clicks on our website URL. This is what outbound is. Another example can be advertising on Yahoo.com. yahoo gets lot of traffic. Some of its visitors see your advertisement, clicks on it and land on your webpage.
Inbound marketing is a bit challenging but very productive. In inbound marketing we lets customers reach us rather then we approaching them. Suppose we have written an ebook on "How to increase your brand awareness with limited resources"and have uploaded that on various ebook directories, on our blog and on websites like slideshare.net. Now lets say that RAM has just begun with his startup and he is looking to market himself online. But being a startup he is short of marketing budget. So what RAM do is he go to Google and search for how to improve brand awareness online for free. As a result of this our ebook ranks on first page and RAM download our ebook. While reading our ebook RAM visits our website. This would be a perfect example of inbound marketing. In inbound marketing we write content and let people reach us.
Though inbound may result in less traffic, in comparison to outbound marketing, but it has high conversion rate.
This is my favorite step under digital marketing process. Engaging visitors on website, Facebook page, Linkedin page, blog, etc. Once we have traffic coming to our website then what do we do. First thing that may come to your mind is sell and tell our visitors why they should buy from us.
Well, let me share one very important and shocking stats with you. 95% of our website traffic does not visit to buy our products or services. And only 5% of them are either looking to buy or is doing their research and weighing their options.
At most we can sell to 5% of the lot. But what about remaining 95% ? If we try to sell them then the first thing that they will do is close the tab of their web browser or hit back button.
So before we can sell to our prospects we shall engage then. Let them move freely within our website pages. Let them do some activities. Let them download an ebook. Let them read our blog. Let them subscribe for free trial/demo if any. All these activities come under engagement. Engaging our visitors will increase their trust in our brand/products/services. Even if they don't want to buy now they will come back to us in future when they are ready to buy.
To demonstrate importance of engagement we will continue with example of RAM. Lets assume that we are an advertising agency. Now RAM had visited our website because he downloaded our ebook. But Ram being a young, new entrepreneur is not having pockets to buy our advertising services. But he did read our ebook and liked it a lot as he gained valuable knowledge out of it. If we can further engage RAM and make him subscribe to our newsletter or bring him back to our website once in a while (as a result of engagement) then this will make RAM trust our website, agency and in future if RAM needs professional advertising solution then he will definitely consider us once. This is the benefit of engagement.
Engagement always leads to conversions. But hey… wait. I am not talking only about sales conversions.
Micro conversions are those where as a result of engagement visitors do some activities on our website. For example- subscribing to our weekly newsletter, downloading an ebook or any whitepaper, sharing our page on Facebookm Following us on twitter, etc. In micro conversions visitors does not shoe direct interest in what we are offering or selling. But because we are not trying hard to sell them and have lot of engaging options on our website they will end up in doing some activities which may or may not lead to a final sale. Such actions are termed as micro conversions.
Macro conversions are those conversions where visitors show direct interest in buying our products or services or end up in buying them. For example- registering for a free trial, signing up to receive a call back from our sales team, making payment to buy what is on offer.
One important thing that we shall understand here is that the more we engage our visitors or micro leads and nurture leads the more end/macro conversion we will get.
Once we are getting conversions (both micro and macro) then the next task is to measure our performance. The biggest advantage of doing digital marketing is that we can, with 100% accuracy, measure performance of our campaigns like SEO, Online advertising, Email marketing etc.
Suppose we are doing a lot of outbound marketing and have a budget of INR 100,000. Out of INR 100,000 we have invested 30% in Google, 30% in Facebook and 40% in email marketing. After one month we are sitting on some sales and a total revenue of INR 500,000.
Figures suggest that we are in profit and as a result we are celebrating our achievement. But what if out of the 3 advertising platforms only 2 have performed for us and one did not?
With help of web analytics we can track how many sales we got from Google, what revenue did Facebook generated for us and how did the email marketing performed?
Lets say that after investing 30% on Google we got a 50% of our revenue. Out of remaining 40% we are getting from Email marketing. If we can track this then it is very clear that Facebook is not yielding results and we need to do something about it. But only if we can track this.
Hence in digital marketing website analytics become very important as it will help us to identify the performance of our marketing campaigns and help us to increase our revenue further.
Retention is not just about retaining our present customers but also retaining our visitors.
Horizontal retention-Let us say that due to our good engagement and lead nurturing RAM purchased our email marketing campaign to boost his sales. Now RAM purchased our services for 3 month. After 3 months RAM is free to go to any competitor of ours. But because RAM is happy with our services he come back to us and renews our email marketing services. This is an example of vertical retention.
Continuing with same example horizontal retention would be when RAM after 2 months of buying our email marketing services also buys lead generation package.
So if a customer buys same chain of products/services then this is vertical retention. But of customer moves up or down in the ladder of products and buys some other products it is an example of horizontal retention.
Just like we try to retain our customers it is highly important that we try to retain our visitors. Unless and until we retain our visitors we will not be able to increase our sales.
Though retention is the last and final step in digital marketing process but it is of utmost importance as it is a continuous process and not an ending one.
To communicate value and create utility with your prospects online we use various platforms like search engines, social networking websites, email marketing, mobile marketing, etc.
Further this article explains how to leverage various digital marketing platforms online.
One of the most popular platforms in digital marketing is marketing through search engines. We all use search engines like Google. As Google is the most preferred search engine so I will be explaining search engine marketing using Google as base example.
Organic results are the results that Google shows from its database related to your searched keyword (query). As per default settings of SERP there are 10 organic results. However these results may vary if results also includes Google maps.
Inorganic results are the paid advertisements that appear on Google SERP. In normal case scenario there can be a maximum of 11 text ads on one page. 3 ads on top and 8 ads on right hand side. However, if a search query related to products being sold on ecommerce websites then there can be 8 image ads along with 11 test ads.
For organic results- one thing that we must understand before proceeding further is that Google ranks webpages and not websites. So we must look after every page as a separate website. To ensue good position in organic results we have to optimize our website pages as per search engine algorithm and this process is known as Search Engine Optimization (SEO). For any keyword Google has thousands of webpages to choose from. And it is the algorithm that selects which page will rank where. So we must understand the parameters on the basis of which Google algorithm ranks web pages and optimize our website accordingly.
For example- One of the important parameters that is considered in organic ranking is content quality. So the foremost and basic thing that we should ensure is that our webpages that we want to rank better for selective keywords should have quality content on those keywords. Content should be such that it can solve queries of people reading it. It should be engaging plus visitors should be happy to share your content on social networking websites.
Inorganic results ranking- Inorganic results or paid advertisements can be created using Google's advertising program known as Adwords. You can sign up with adwords, also commonly known as PPC ads, and create search advertising campaigns. While creating a campaign you will have to add keywords on which you are willing to run advertisements.
However, creating an ad campaign does not guarantee a good rank of your ad. We must optimize our campaigns as per adwordsAdRank algorithm. It may take some experience and deep understanding to ensure a good position of your ad on competitive keywords where there are many advertisers willing to run their ads on same keyword.
2) PPC vs. Traditional Ads: PPC Wins! Here's why!
6) Struggling With ROI? Try PPC Advertising!
Social media marketing is a very common term, yet most of us are not able to understand and do it the way it is supposed to be done.
Social media mainly refers to social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin, Youtube, etc. Our prospects daily spend time on some of these, if not all, networking websites to connect with their friends, collegues, acquaintances and to build new relationships. Facebook alone is having 1.2 billion users out of which 35% are online any time of the day and 113 million Facebook users are from India.
When our prospects spend so much time on these few websites then why do we search for them elsewhere? Identifying your potential buyers, building connections, communicating, engaging, building a brand image is what social media marketing is. However, most of the marketers use social platforms to push a lot of information to their connections and that's where things start going wrong.
Social media is a very big canvas and success depends on how you paint it. It is not just about sales. It is to let people know what your brand is all about…. What is your brand culture, making people feel connected with your brand, let people know that you value their connection, producing content what people would love to read.This will result in better brand awareness, trust and sales. But if you think that getting in few Facebook likes on your page and then killing people with your sales messages is the way to go then it is a short term strategy and also a thing of past.

When visitors register with their email Id on your website, or any other visibility platform like Facebook, to get a free trial or subscribe to blog newsletter and you shoot them emails, then this known as permission based marketing.
When you send bulk emails using any software or other service to email id's of people who never registered to receive emails from your end then this form of email marketing is known as non permission based email marketing or spamming. Spamming is also a punishable offence in countries like US. However, doing spamming has become tougher and tougher over the years, thanks to extra smart spam filters of email service providers like Gmail and Yahoo.

If stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia, it is wise that you know the words to the Marne Song, otherwise known as "Dog Face Soldier."
The lyrics are:
I Wouldn't Give A Bean
To Be A Fancy Pants Marine
I'd Rather Be A
Dog Face Soldier Like I Am
I Wouldn't Trade My Old OD's
For All The Navy's Dungarees
For I'm The Walking Pride
Of Uncle Sam
On Army Posters That I Read
It Says "Be All That You Can"
So They're Tearing Me Down
To Build Me Over Again
I'm Just A Dog Face Soldier
With A Rifle On My Shoulder
And I Eat Raw Meat
For Breakfast E'V'RY Day
So Feed Me Ammunition
Keep Me In Third Division
Your Dog Face Soldier's A-Okay

Reading The Onion Seriously
Combining irreverent humor and acerbic critique, a handful of new media outlets -- including The Onion -- are transforming American politics and culture, writes Theodoe Hamm, in his new book The New Blue Media.
Theodore Hamm June 26, 2008
After 9/11, The Onion stopped its presses for one week. The hiatus allowed the paper to show its respect for the gravity of what had happened in lower Manhattan. But it also enabled its staff to come up with the paper's quite poignant reaction to the terrorist strikes. It was announced by a large banner headline that read, "Holy Fucking Shit – Attack on America." The statement perfectly captured the confusion and fear of the moment.The paper's lead story, "U.S. Vows to Defeat Whoever It Is We're at War With," accurately recorded the Bush administration's immediate and enduring response to 9/11. To "America's enemy, be it Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, the Taliban, a multinational coalition of terrorist organizations, any of a rogue's gallery of violent Islamic fringe groups, or an entirely different, non-Islamic aggressor we've never even heard of," Bush vowed, "be warned." A pair of news briefs in that same issue reported, "American Life Turns into Bad Jerry Bruckheimer Movie" and "Hijackers Find Themselves in Hell" instead of the "Paradise" they had expected.
As its new home city (the paper moved its headquarters from Madison to New York City months earlier) and the nation tried to make sense of the attacks, The Onion's 9/11 issue uniquely encompassed a wide range of popular sentiments. "We really were just trying to capture the sadness and anger everyone was feeling, and somehow it came out as humor," Robert Siegel, then The Onion's editor-in-chief, recalled a year later.
The End of Satire?
Ironically, perhaps, the most powerful statement The Onion made in that landmark issue was not about terrorism or the likelihood of the Bush administration's overreaction to it, but instead about the future of irony itself. That week in Time, Roger Rosenblatt's column carried the ominous title "The Age of Irony Comes to an End," with an equally foreboding subheading of "No Longer Will We Fail to Take Things Seriously." As Ground Zero smoldered, Rosenblatt searched for both blame and a sign of hope. He wrote, "For some 30 years – roughly as long as the Twin Towers were upright – the good folks in charge of America's intellectual life have insisted that nothing was to be believed in or taken seriously." It was irony, Rosenblatt suggested, that somehow had blinded us to the rising threat of Islamic fundamentalism.
Such an overwrought notion was blown apart by a range of critics, comic and otherwise. For its part, an Onion news brief announced, "Report: Gen X Irony, Cynicism May Be Permanently Obsolete." In the item, a Gen X‑er states, "Remember the day after the attack, when all the senators were singing 'God Bless America,' arm-in-arm?' asked Dave Holt, 29.'Normally, I'd make some sarcastic wisecrack about something like that. But this time, I was deeply moved.' Added Holt: 'This earnestness can't last forever. Can it?'"
Both the news brief and the entire 9/11 issue vividly illustrated The Onion's answer to Holt's question, as did its lead story in the next issue, "Shattered Nation Longs to Care About Stupid Bullshit Again." Looking back one year later, Siegel explained to Alternet's Daniel Kurtzman that irony would survive well into the twenty-first century. "Many things about America changed, but you can't kill humor….Obviously people are going to laugh and people will still be sarcastic and snide and ironic and winking and insincere. That's a good thing. That's a sign of the return to normalcy."
'Gulf War II: The Vengeance'
Unfortunately, for the Bush administration "normalcy" soon meant outright deception, scare tactics, and bullying in the service of its primary goal of invading Iraq. The Onion, as usual, saw right through the jingo. In March 2002, when talk of taking down Saddam was in the air but nearly six months away from becoming an official plan, one of the paper's headlines read, "Military Promises 'Huge Numbers' for Gulf War II: The Vengeance." The lead photo for the article showed Donald Rumsfeld giving a typical chesty gesture at a press conference in front of a Photoshopped movie poster of Gulf War II: The Vengeance, starring W. and Saddam. The other photo in the piece was even more prophetic, as it featured W. in full military gear, carrying an automatic weapon and hunting down rebel forces. The image smacked more of Rambo than the Top Gun – style "Mission Accomplished" scene that W. eventually chose, but the prediction was accurate enough.
According to the article, the PR blitz for Gulf War II also included a pact with Topps for a series of trading cards; "a first-look deal with CNN, guaranteeing the network full access to the front lines, as well as first crack at interviewing the men and women behind the scenes"; and a "two-cry deal" with Dan Rather. Late that summer, then – White House chief of staff Andrew Card famously stated that the administration was waiting until after Labor Day to unveil its full plan for Iraq because "you don't introduce a new product in August." Six months prior, The Onion had already sketched out the marketing plan for that dangerous "new product."
As the White House made its sales pitch for war, the lead article in The Onion's issue in the second week after Labor Day – dated September 11, 2002 – declared, "Bush Won't Stop Asking Cheney If We Can Invade Yet." In this case, the story worked a father-versus-impatient-son storyline, and so focused less on details of the Iraq question than on Cheney's control over W. At one point, however, the piece did report that "Cheney sat Bush down and explained at length the political ramifications of proceeding with a first strike without creating the appearance of approval from Congress and the American people." It continued by quoting Cheney's advice to Bush: "If we just wait a little longer, Saddam is bound to commit some act of aggression or we'll find some juicy al Qaeda ties or something, and then we can make it look like the whole country's behind it."
Here again the satire was right on target. Over the next month, in order to help force Congress into granting the administration the authority to go to war – a vote that would haunt many leading Democrats through both 2004 and 2008 – both Cheney and Bush stressed Saddam's alleged ties to al Qaeda. Such outright distortions helped propel the Republicans' success in the upcoming midterms as well as in 2004, and their game plan almost seemed lifted directly from the pages of a satirical publication. While serious liberal news organizations such as the New York Times helped disseminate the White House's specious rationale for war, The Onion's lampoons turned out to be far more accurate. The Bush gang, the paper said, was hell-bent on invading Iraq, and it would deploy any means necessary in order to do so.
Throughout the fall campaign, The Onion continued to see right through Bush's bluster. For example, the paper's lead story in early October announced that "Bush Seeks U.N. Support for 'U.S. Does Whatever It Wants Plan.'" "As a shining beacon of freedom and democracy, America has inspired the world," Bush told the UN General Assembly. "In this spirit, I call upon the world's nations to support my proposal to give America unrestricted carte blanche to remove whatever leaders, plunder whatever resources, and impose whatever policies it deems necessary or expedient." Such aggressive unilateralism underpinned the rationale W. here gave the UN for overthrowing Saddam: "The time has come for this man to step down, because we want him to." Meanwhile, the question "What should we do about Saddam's WMD?" domi-nated mainstream media discussion. Based on a false premise, the question itself dictated the answer. It was a sophisticated level of deception, and given Saddam's reputation, it was easy fodder for cable news chatter.
A news brief reported,"Dead Iraqi Would Have Loved Democracy," which in just six words refuted most arguments for the war.
But for its part, The Onion generally steered clear of that question, and instead frequently pointed out how the war enabled Bush to shift the nation's attention from other problems. In "Bush on Economy: 'Saddam Must Be Overthrown,'" for example, the war solved problems ranging from a weak manufacturing sector to the ongoing corporate scandals, which at the time involved WorldCom and Enron. Similarly, W.'s answer to the problem of North Korea was, of course, to invade Iraq; later, he tried to help sell his tax cuts by offering another $300 on top of his initial tax rebate, provided that the United States went to war. Brushing aside the WMD issue, The Onion consistently put forth a satirical but convincing case that the United States was going to war simply because the Bush administration wanted it.
When the war finally began in March 2003, the paper continued to mock both the Bush administration's theatrics and its claims to an easy victory. One memorable lead story again foretold Bush's "Mission Accomplished" moment with remarkable accuracy. Beside a photo of W. leading an invading squad of soldiers through desert combat, the paper's top story explained how "Bush Bravely Leads 3rd Infantry into Battle." In that same issue, a news brief reported,"Dead Iraqi Would Have Loved Democracy," which in just six words refuted most arguments for the war. With notable foresight, the lead in the following week's top story then stated,"Following a 12th consecutive day of fighting, a puzzled and frustrated President Bush confided to military advisors Monday that he 'really figured the war would be over by now.'"
In that story, and in many others, Bush came across as juvenile and incompetent, a front man for Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and the other neo-cons. In the fall of 2002, Beltway media mainstay Bob Woodward had, in Bush at War, legitimized the notion that W. really was in charge of his administration's war plans; four years and two books later,Woodward's analysis mirrored that found in The Onion.
The Onion Stays the Course
As the overthrow of Saddam became the occupation of Iraq, the paper stayed on the attack. It fired back at Bush shortly after he gave his spurious speech aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln declaring victory; here was the Hollywood moment that the paper had sagely predicted, with Bush effectively combining two Tom Cruise films (Top Gun and Mission: Impossible).
But in The Onion's account, instead of stating that the mission was over, the sign behind Bush read "screw you, vets,"and the story detailed a ribbon-cutting ceremony at which Bush cut veterans benefits. The piece also featured what was by The Onion standards an unusually earnest photo, of a homeless African American vet dejectedly panhandling. Such sentimentality was short-lived, however, as the next week's lead story returned to form: "Gen. Tommy Franks Quits Army to Pursue Solo Bombing Projects." "The years I've spent with the Army have been amazing, and we did some fantastic bombing," Franks stated. "But at this point, I feel like I've taken it as far as I can. It's time for me to move on and see what I can destroy on my own."
Amid the chaotic aftermath of the invasion, many media observers, as well as Democratic Party officials, began to turn against the Bush administration, attacking its incompetent handling of the occupation. The Onion, however, continued its relentless assault on both the design and the execution of the war.

Don't look now, but a deadline for adopting the new lease accounting standard that was issued two years ago is right around the corner.
If your dealership is publicly held, you must adopt the standard by December 15, 2018, if your fiscal year begins after this date. If your dealership is nonpublic, you have an extra year to adopt the new standard — until December 15, 2019, if your fiscal year begins after this date. Early adoption is permitted for both public and private dealerships.
Referred to as Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Section A—Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the new standard will change the accounting treatment of leases under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. If your dealership leases equipment, vehicles, real estate or other assets for more than a year, the new standard will require you to report these lease obligations as fixed assets on your balance sheet along with related lease liability.
Under the FASB's new standard, both capital and operating leases will have to be recognized on the balance sheet. Specifically, you'll be required to report a right-to-use asset and corresponding liability for your obligation to make payments on leases longer than one year. This includes long-term leases for real estate used by your dealership.
Historically, operating leases could be listed as a financial statement footnote and thus kept off the balance sheet. This structure usually benefits dealerships because keeping leases off-balance sheet generally improves financial ratios, thus making it easier to qualify for financing.
The new lease accounting standard's biggest impact for most dealerships will likely be on their relationships with lenders. Including long-term lease obligations on the balance sheet, where they'll also be classified as debt, could have a major impact on key financial ratios. This, in turn, could have a negative effect on debt covenants.
Thus, it's critical to talk with your banker well in advance of the date when you plan to adopt the new standard. You should let your banker know that adopting the new standard could result in changes to your financial ratios that could adversely affect your debt covenants. This way, you'll have time to discuss potential remedies in advance.
Changes in financial ratios also could affect your ability to obtain financing in the future, or possibly make financing more expensive. In addition, you might incur training costs as you get your accounting department up to speed on all the nuances of applying the new guidance.
Contact your tax advisor if you have more questions about how the new lease accounting standard could affect your dealership.


Whenever we want to go out to a place away from our home, for the purpose of holidaying or office work, we always prefer to live at a place that provides us with all the facilities that we have at home. These facilities include proper meals, beverages, entertainment facilities etc. Now, when we look out for hotel options for the purpose of booking, we come across two terms viz. Full board and All Inclusive. So the readers will ask what is the difference between these two? Well, on one hand where Full Board refers to a hotel that has the facilities of three time proper meals per person and payment for the extra facilities like alcoholic as well as non-alcoholic beverages, spa and bar facilities etc need to be paid extra. On the other hand, All Inclusive services include hotels that provide facilities that include accommodation, three meals per person per day, alcoholic beverages (only selected items), non-alcoholic beverages, recreational facilities, entertainment facilities etc. The recreational and entertainment facilities provided by the hotel depend upon the age group of the people that require the accommodation and also the area where the accommodation is required. As for example, entertainment facilities are different for children and for couples who come for honeymoon.
Thus we see that the main difference between the hotels that provide Full Board and All Inclusive facilities is that the former one provides only meal and accommodation facilities in the amount of money paid by the customer while the later provides entertainment and recreational facilities too in addition to a proper and comfortable accommodation and 3 time meal per person per day. As a result of this, the Full Board facility is sufficient for a single person who has come for the purpose of official visit while All Inclusive facility is preferably for couples of those people who go in for vacationing with the whole family. Where All Inclusive facilities allow the visitor to use all the extra facilities and amenities of the hotel, visitors have to pay extra amount for the purpose of enjoying the benefits of the extra facilities and amenities of the hotel.

Diane Keaton hasn't dated in 35 years
By Celebretainment
TownNews.com Content Exchange
Diane Keaton hasn't been on a date in 35 years.
The 73-year-old actress - who has adopted children Dexter, 24, and Duke, 19 - has dated the likes of Woody Allen, Warren Beatty and Al Pacino in the past, but she has no desire to start a romantic relationship and is quite happy to just have lots of man friends.
She told InStyle: "I haven't been on a date in, I would say, 35 years. No dates," she says candidly. "I have a lot of male friends. I have a lot of friends but no dates."
The 'Book Club' star recently admitted she doesn't regret not getting married as she doesn't think it would have been a "good idea" for her to have a husband.
She said: "Today I was thinking about this. I'm 73 and I think I'm the only one in my generation and maybe before who has been a single woman all her life.
"[I'm not sad] because I think that I needed more of a maternal aspect. I don't think it would have been a good idea for me to have married, and I'm really glad I didn't, and I'm sure they're happy about it, too."

The 'Poms' actress says her decision to skip out on marriage was made when she was still in school, because she never felt as though she "wanted" to be someone's wife.
She added: "I remember one day in high school, this guy came up to me and said, 'One day you're going to make a good wife.' And I thought, 'I don't want to be a wife. No.'"
And whilst she appreciates all the loves she's had in her life, Diane doesn't think it was wise of her to romance famous actors.
The 'Godfather' star said: "When I was young, I was looking to be loved by these extraordinary people. I think I should not have been so seduced by talent. When you're both doing the same job, it's not so great. I should have found just a nice human being, kind of a family guy."
