Famous' Firsts - Alan Moore

It's the first day of the month, and that means Famous' Firsts!

Today's entry features a writer who hasn't written a ton of Superman work, but what he has written definitely stands out in Superman history...Alan Moore!

That's right, before he would go on to write The Man Who Has Everything... and Whatever Happened To The Man Of Tomorrow?, Superman showed up with the Justice League in the pages of Moore's breakout hit The Saga Of The Swamp Thing.

Here's Superman's first panel from that issue.


Everything old is new again, as The Search For Swamp Thing is set to be released this month, with both Superman and Hawkman on the cover of the first issue!

And as a bonus first, I suppose this is Stephen Bissette's first published Superman as well!

The Sugababes Return


No I am not talking about all 500 previous members, I'm talking about the current three babes who make the ever changing line-up of Britain's most successful girl-band to date. That's right. Heidi, Amelle and newest member Jade who replaced founding member and super-bitch Keisha Buchanan are back after a two year hiatus following woeful album sales of the chaotic mess that was 'Sweet 7'.

The song in question is 'Freedom', a dub-step track featuring powerhouse vocals and infectious beats which the Babes debuted live in Morocco performing at a festival and now a snippet of the would-be hit has premiered today. So much better in HQ! Jade's vocals empower the track by a long shot!

Sugababes 3.0 are in the house! I personally felt that 'Sweet 7' possessed some stand out tracks with Jade Ewen shinning on pretty much every vocal section she took on, the girls looked the hottest they ever had, they actually seemed to like one another AND they are hands down the best version of the Sugababes when it comes to performing live. You only have to look at their acoustic takes of original Sugababe hits such as 'Push The Button' or 'Too Lost In You' on Youtube to know this. More importantly to those who claim Buchanan made their sound...think again. Heidi was the reason they became a success with their first hit 'Round Round'. If Heidi's singing, its the Sugababes.

Looks like 2011 might be the year to set the Sugababes 3.0 back on top. Heidi, Amelle and Jade will be re-launching their website in the coming weeks. The full version of 'Freedom' is set to debut any day now. In the meantime take a listen to the snippet below and decide if you are on board with Sugababes 3.0 or if you think 4.0 debuting in 2014 will have a better shot?


Kelly Rowland Lands UK X-factor Gig


The Ultimate Girlband fight off went down this week in the form of US vs UK as former Pussycat Doll front woman Nicole Scherzinger replaced Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole from the American X-factor and now former Destiny's Child and dance legend Kelly Rowland has taken her spot on this side of the pond too. Cheryl must be livid! No place to go but into the arms of now manager Will I Am who will probably replace her with a Cyberman version of the Geordie lass.

Kelly Rowland on the other hand, will be on top of the world having recently secured the number one spot with new RnB hit 'Motivation' on Billboard's 100 ready to jet off to the UK to begin filming the audition process.

Rowland went on record to say how excited she is about joining the show expressing her love for the UK and the acts produced here to whom she named Adele and Jessie J as such talent. On speaking about the role itself, the Commander singer said it wouldn't be easy but she hoped to be able to bring elements of both honesty and encouragement to 2011's X-factor hopefulls.

Personally Kelly is a perfect addition to the UK panel working in the industry well over ten years now showing to be a true star performer in one of the world's most successful girl-groups of all time, even managing to pave a stand-up solo career as a result.

Rowland joins Take That creative genius Gary Barlow, Boyzone/Westlife/Jedward leech Louis Walsh and the not so impressive Tulisa of N-Dubz fame. (Worst choice for a judge ever!) UK X-factor hits screens this Summer.

Check out Kelly's stunning rendition of her David Guetta produced 2010 hit 'Commander' live on GMTV last year.

HIATUS

I was just about to load up a new image when my trusty, old computer died. This happened on Sunday. So, I took my computer to the fixit place hoping that it was going to be a simple diagnosis. But, NOOOOO!

I have ordered a new computer...thus I am anxious. Thankfully my hard drive is ok and all my stuff can be transferred to the new computer. But, I will have to learn how to negotiate my way around new software...my old computer's operating system was XP and a lot has happened since then. Hopefully I will be up and running...and in love...with my new computer by tomorrow afternoon...well in love by Sunday when I will have sussed out everything. My Dad is a HAM Radio man and I grew up with the latest of technology...I think that's why I am not too overawed by the latest and greatest of tech developments. However, as a result of genetics I am quite techno intuitive, so will enjoy putting my IT hat on for a few days. One of my brothers is in supercomputing...now that's impressive!

So for regular readers of my BLOG there is a hiatus where there are no images of paintings. My daughter's computer, which I am using now, does not have an image programme that reduces file size...so no images of the new painting I finished on Sunday. I don't upload 300 dpi images of art to protect from copying.

INTERESTING CSG LINKS
But, this hiatus gives me an opportunity to provide some interesting links. One is an article written by a lawyer [with a PhD] about the consultative process here in Australia...and probably similarly overseas re: Coal Seam Gas. It is a very probing article which clearly illustrates the need for a more representative consultative process with a fundamental decision making basis in science. His statements about cumulative problems, plus an inference about how to represent future generations are insightful.  http://www.independentaustralia.net/2011/queensland/resolving-the-csg-crisis-through-proper-public-participation/ 

The next article is written by a biochemist Dr. Gideon Polya. It is scientific rebuttal of the assumption that gas is cleaner and greener than other fossil fuels...yes gas is a fossil fuel. This article is a MUST read as it is not long and can be easily understood by the layman. Polya's description of the potential future is awful and is a reminder that today we must find ways to represent future generations.

I did upload an image of myself conducting a workshop on Saturday, but it did not upload properly. So, no photos today.
 Maybe you'd like to check out my 'Water and Gas Gallery' on my website...link below.


Cheers,

Shabby Apple Inspired Dress




As I was browsing over the lovely dresses at Shabby Apple, I stopped at this one, I thought, hey, I have a green t shirt I haven't worn in years and I happen to have some navy striped fabric leftover from this project. I can make myself a dress like this!

And I did it! It isn't identical, but I wasn't trying to copy the dress at shabby apple, just use it as inspiration. I am really happy on how it turned out, very cute and comfortable, best of all, it didn't cost me anything!!:


I started out with this t shirt from Forever 21, which I got years ago, But I never liked the turtle neck and it was to tight in the stomach:



I used my seam ripper and took off the turtle neck and the bottom part under the empire waist:


I made a elastic skirt. You can use this tutorial for more detail.

I measured my waist and cut the elastic to fit. I cut fabric double as wide as the elastic and sewed the seams:


I sewed my elastic:


I attached the elastic to the skirt (right sides together) I made sure the seam on the elastic lines up with the seam on the fabric:


I made some pleats, stretching the fabric as I pinned the pleats:


I sewed the fabric to the elastic, while stretching the elastic:


Then I inserted the t shirt into the skirt part (right sides together) and sewed the elastic to the shirt:


I measured and determined how long I wanted the dress to be, I cut off the access:


I ironed the hem about one inch:


And then folded over again and ironed:


I sewed the hem:


For the neckline, I trimmed it up a bit (for easy access for nursing) then I made a thin braid with some of the left over fabric from the bottom of the shirt:


And hand sewed it onto the neckline:


Then I made a thicker one and hand sewed it right underneath the thiner braid:

Like so:


Thats it!!

kids t shirt dress




I made this cute little t shirt dress in a jiffy. Here is how I did it.

First I took a plain white t shirt which fit my daughter, then I made a simple elastic skirt. You can find the tutorial here.


I made a simple pocket. I basically just cut out a square and ironed down all 4 edges. Then I sewed the upper edge. Then I pinned the pocket onto the shirt:


I sewed down the three sides:


Added a cute button:


Then I tucked the t shirt into the skirt. Right sides together:


I pinned the shirt and skirt together:


I sewed the shirt to the skirt, stretching the elastic as I sewed:


Thats it!

Characters Continuity Forgot #4


The Atom-Master!

A mad scientist of sorts, who with the use of his special helmet, is able to rearrange the dust in the air and materialize it any form he desires.

His original crime spree was cut short by Superman, Batman, and Robin, but never count on a renegade scientist to stay idle for too long. Unfortunately for him, his return to the big time years later was as a member of the Forgotten Villains! And true to form, he has remained forgotten to this day.

He did have a redemption of sorts, turning against the Enchantress at the last moment to prevent her from taking over the world. I think he should count himself lucky, as it's rare for a character that continuity forgot to have a relatively complete and satisfactory storyarc.

If you can call three appearances over 25 years a storyarc.

UPDATE: And yes, for those of you keeping score at home, this is the same Atom-Master who created the illusion of the T-Rex from the last Sunday versus post.

MINX MIX TAPE: Volume #5

Hello Muffins! Welcome to the fifth installment of Minx Mix Tape--an all girl digital dance party celebrating ladies kicking out killer jams! In anticipation of summer weather, awkward swimsuit sun burns and vodka lemonades, this week's tape is all fun. Let's get to the tunes!

First up, a little psychedelic pop rock from the Dum Dum Girls! The music is head-boppable, but the lyrics cut--a perfect "driving on a hot highway" record.



Now, a little electroclash from Le Tigre! Kathleen Hanna, former front woman of riot grrrl revolutionaries Bikini Kill, cuts it up wherever she goes: take no prisoners!



And finally, a totally guilty pleasure--Beyonce. I'll admit, the tune isn't particularly fantastic. However, the message is spot on and the video is f***'n MONEY. "My Persuasion can build a nation."



Thanks for coming to the party! Got a song you want to add to the tape? Leave a link in the comments! :)

Summer Reading

The View From Argyle Heights: Reading & Writing & Even Some Arithmetic
by Homeowner Harry (Another in a series of observations about life in West Midwood as it is lived today…or maybe not)

May 13, 2011...The beach and vacations beckon! So it’s time to think about what books we want to take with us. Or in my case, which books I will stuff in my suitcase intending to devour … only to experience the guilt and shame two weeks later as I re-pack them, untouched, for the return trip home, having read nothing longer than a Mets box score.

As I pondered the question of what I should pretend to read this Summer, it occurred to me that we have a number of published writers in our neighborhood and maybe I should seek out their guidance. Then, as it turned out, there were so many, I had to narrow it down to just those inhabitants of our leafy glen with a published book available on Amazon. That bottom line qualification ruled out many with journal articles, blogs and other writing credits. Sadly, it also eliminated me, since my seminal work, Flying Saucers & Credit Default Swaps: The Alien Plot To Buy Our Debt, had to be serialized on www.ufos-and-your-finances.com when space aliens threatened my editor.

Anyway, there are five among us with published books and what a diverse group it is!

Al & Mary Nofi At Omaha Beach, Normandy
ALBERT NOFI, a West Midwoodian for 35 years, has written more than 30 books. Yes, that was three-zero my friends, and not a typo. Amazing? Face it, most of us can’t even name 30 books. Al and his wife, Mary Spencer, were attracted by Westminster Road’s leafy cocoon and diversity in the mid-1970’s, when the Nofi family escaped the urban jungles of West 96th Street while Al was still a teacher in the City’s schools. Al retired as an Assistant Principal and for the past two decades has built an incredible second career as a military historian and analyst. He started out as a war-games designer and then a defense strategist, working with some of the most brilliant tacticians in the country, at the Center for Naval Analyses in Alexandria, Virginia, and then at the Chief of Naval Operations Strategic Studies Group, in Newport, Rhode Island. Somehow he also found time to secure a PhD in military history along the way. People, if we ever declare war on Fiske Terrace, I think Dr. Nofi should be calling the shots. 

Al’s latest book, chronicling the U.S. Navy’s strategic thinking in the run-up to World War II, To Train The Fleet For War, was recognized by the U.S. Navy League as one of the best books of the year on naval history. Al has also published books on the Civil War, the Marine Corps and the Spanish-American War. One of his best-received works was on the founding fathers of Texas, The Alamo and the Texas War for Independence, published in 1992. Later that year, Al and Mary lost their daughter Marilyn in a hit and run automobile accident at the age of 24. Marilyn, who had once worked as an editor at Simon & Schuster, is buried in the historic Seminole Indian Scout Cemetery in south-central Texas. Nowadays, the Nofi’s spend most of the year in Austin, Texas, near Mary’s family. Al’s reading habits are of course geared toward military history and as a board member of the New York Military Affairs Symposium, he edits its Newsletter. Al's reading list is heavy on military and ancient history, much of which can be found at http://nymas.org/, a great web site if you're a history buff like me, containing oodles of free podcasts, including Al's marvelously spirited presentation of the US fleet's war games during the 1930's.  Amazon Link: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=albert+nofi

DAVID ROSEN also moved to West Midwood from an apartment – in Park Slope – in a quest for more room for his family, arriving in the mid-1990's with his wife Tori and their daughter Sarah. David is a Professor of Anthropology at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, New Jersey and in addition to a PhD from the University of Illinois, he also has practiced law, thanks to a J.D. from Pace Law School. In 2005, years of field research in Sierra Leone, Kenya, Israel and the Palestinian Territories culminated in a very well received study of child soldiers, Armies of the Young: Child Soldiers in War and Terrorism, published by Rutgers University Press and now available in paperback. David’s interest in this subject, on which he has now become a recognized expert, with published articles in the Connecticut Journal of International Law, American Anthropologist, among other journals, originally stemmed from an encounter many years ago with a paramilitary group when he was living in the Kono District of Sierra Leone. This armed contingent, David remembers, “acted like thugs and they all seemed to be quite young; then when civil war broke out in Sierra Leone in 1991, I realized that it was very much these same kinds of kids who were being recruited into the rebel forces".

As for Summer reading, David likes murder mysteries, especially by Ian Rankin who “mostly writes police procedurals set in Edinburgh.” Jacqueline Winspeare (Maisie Dobbs Mysteries), Peter Robinson (Inspector Banks) and spy novelist Alan Furst are also favorite authors. If they haven’t produced any new work, David will look for Israeli novels in translation and in this vein recommends David Grossman’s To the End of the Land. David especially enjoyed Virkram Chandra’s Sacred Games ("a big think novel about an Indian detectives pursuit of a well entrenched mobster"). Jonathan Franzen’s best seller, Freedom, is also recommended.   Amazon Link: http://www.amazon.com/Armies-Young-Soldiers-Terrorism-Childhood/dp/0813535689/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1306781426&sr=1-4

BETH DUNFEY, like so many others, emigrated to West Midwood from a Park Slope apartment with her husband Sam Nisson, in search of a spacious, kid-friendly environment. By that time, Beth had already authored BThe PowerPuff Girls Save The Day Sticker Book, using her late grandmother’s name, Ruth N. Carey, as a nom-de-plume. Published by Scholastic, where Beth worked for many years, helping to create the Harry Potter franchise, she is now a freelance editor and full-time mother of Roy, Nora and Tommy.  In between bedtime stories and melt-downs, Beth plans to read Let the Great World Spin, by Colum McCann, What I Saw and How I Lied, by Judy Blundell (“a young adult book that's supposed to be great!”) and heartily recommends Freedom, by Jonathan Franzen. Other recent favorites include: A Visit from the Goon Squad, by Jennifer Egan; The Imperfectionists, by Tom Rachman; The Lost City of Z, by David Grann (“a thrilling nonfiction read from a New Yorker staff writer about a man who becomes obsessed with finding an ancient civilization in the Amazon”); Brooklyn, by Colm Toibin; and This Is Where I Leave You, by Jonathan Tropper (“a fun read perfect for the beach”). Beth also recommends these young adult novels: Shiver, by Maggie Stiefvater and The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins (“soon to be a major motion picture!”).  Amazon Link: http://www.amazon.com/Powerpuff-Girls-Save-Sticker-Book/dp/0439160154/ref=sr_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1306781263&sr=1-7

PATRICK HOWELL O’NEIL is the only West Midwoodian scribe who was born and raised in Argyle Heights. Patrick’s Starcraft Bible was published in January and has generated a lot of attention in the computer gaming world. In researching the book, I chanced upon more coverage of Patrick on the Internet than all the other four authors combined. Interviews, pictures, long rapturous reviews and even a “coming attraction” trailer for the book with theme music by Hans Zimmer that frankly was so awesome, I immediately downloaded it to my iPod. Patrick’s reading selections have something for everyone and are so well described, I will let them speak for themselves:

Masters of Doom by David Kushner is the story of how a couple of young talented guys who lacked direction in their early twenties went on to be the artists and programmers and minds behind several of the most important video games of all time, becoming pop culture icons and unimaginably wealthy rock stars with all the good and bad that comes with that. It's a very good book period but is absolutely awesome if you played games in the 80s or 90s.


A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin is one of the few fantasy franchises I've ever read in full. It started in 1996 and has a new book coming out in July. At this point, it's a genre classic and required reading even if you are raising your nose and rolling your eyes at the thought of reading a fantasy book. It's more of a Machiavellian political thriller than a classic fantasy book. There's less wizards in robes and more sharp tongued politicians with daggers on their person. It's also got an HBO show now but do yourself a favor and read the book that started it first.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a beautiful book about a father and son moving through a gorgeously grim post-apocalyptic landscape, hoping to find anything good at all. It's won a ton of prizes (including a Pulitzer) and is on a million and one best-of-the-decade lists. Don't wait for me to convince you, just read it.”

EDWARD ROTHSTEIN is the culture critic at large for the New York Times after serving as that paper’s chief music critic for many years. Ed grew up on Avenue N and East 14th Street, and recalls taking a circuitous bike route to Midwood High School just to sample “the charms of this neighborhood”. Friends of his parents (the Brenners) lured Ed and his young family to Argyle Road where Ed and his wife Marilyn have reared three children (Dena, Aaron and Anna) in their now almost empty nest at the crest of Argyle Heights. Ed, a Yale grad with a PhD from the University of Chicago, has won numerous awards for his music criticism and once did graduate work in mathematics at Brandeis, interests which led him to write Emblems of Mind: The Inner Life of Music and Mathematics, named one of the Top 25 Books of 1995 by both Publishers Weekly and The New York Public Library. Reissued in paperback in 2006, Emblems explains why “the connections between math and music are far from accidental”. One of those connections occurs whenever I play guitar since I can often hear audiences mumble that they are “counting the minutes until that noise stops.” Ed also wrote a marvelous essay, "Utopia & Its Discontents", one of the three that comprise the 2003 book, Visions of Utopia published by Oxford University Press. Ed points to the Internet as the latest quasi-Utopia for its more visionary proponents.
As for Summer reading, Ed expressed deep disappointment when informed that Flying Saucers & Credit Default Swaps: The Alien Plot to Buy Our Debt was not available in book form, since it is hard to read Internet stuff on the beach and not get sand all over it. Ed actually prefers audio books these days, which allows him to listen on the subway, in the car, or while e-mailing me late one recent night: “Right now, George Guidall is reading Crime and Punishment into my ears; it is so good I almost dread listening. I might as well recommend him as a good reader (check out audible.com)…I also recommend literate historical spy fiction by Alan Furst and thrillers by Vince Flynn. And then there are some great Dickens readers and...back to work!” Amazon Link: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=Edward+rothstein

Finally, my wife Virginia is a member of two Book Groups that meet regularly and I figured she must have some good picks since she reads about two books a week. She left out a stack for me to peruse but I couldn’t get past the watercolor dust covers showing reflective stationery female adults. None depicted UFOs, human zombies or even a single mangled corpse. Of course, I expected as much. Years ago, I tried to join one of her groups, but when I kept suggesting we read The Zombie Plot To Poison Our Food Supply, I got the boot.

Well there you have it. Alert readers will have noticed multiple recommendations for Jonathan Franzen and Alan Furst. All in all, I must admit there are some books I am tempted to stuff in my suitcase – just in case the Mets are mathematically eliminated by mid-July. Particularly that book about that guy looking for a lost civilization on the Amazon web site, where all of West Midwood’s authors may be found as well.

[EDITOR’s NOTE: If you have a published book available on Amazon and were not included in this article, please address your concerned outrage about this or other issues, including zombies, to joe@enright.com (“an ego so big, he needed his own domain”), who can also be found roaming through http://argyleheights.blogspot.com/]

The Saturdays Score 9th Top Ten Hit!


The Saturdays new single 'Notorious' soared straight into the UK top ten yesterday debuting at No.8 marking the track the girls' 9th top ten hit! Congrats! The girls were simultaneously the only UK act to feature in the top ten.

How did Frankie, Una, Vanessa, Mollie and Rochelle react to this news? They did what any respectable 21st Century artist does these days...took to twitter of course! Irish Femme Fatale Una tweeted "A huge thanks to everyone who downloaded Notorious so far and for making it top 10 Xx" Whilst Vanessa tweeted earlier in the week "Thanks so much you guys for all the support so far!!!"

The Sats debut chart position follows the video for the track topping almost every music channel since its premiere and a phenomenal performance on So You Think You Can Dance last weekend. The girls, in high spirits, also surprised Radio 1 DJ Reggie Yates for his birthday. Awww so thoughtful are Team Sats!

The Saturdays are still in the studio putting the finishing touches to their upcoming fourth studio album and will be hitting the festivals this Summer performing at Party at the Beach in Portrush and Oxegen.

Take a look at the behind the scenes clip of Notorious below.




Another Book Down...

I have finished my 6th book of the year for #19 - Read 10 books in one year. And once again, it was a book that should have gone quickly, but instead took six weeks to read!! Eeep!!

I recently re-joined my local library (I hadn't been there since I was a kid, but she still had me in her system! Gotta love small towns!), and the first night I was there perusing the selections, trying to find something to read before I start The Carrie Diaries for our next book club, I ran into a friend who told me I had to read the book she had just returned: Separate Beds by Lavyrle Spencer.


I know we have similar taste when it comes to other books. (She's a Twilight fan, too.) But for some reason, it took me forever to get through this one. It's a good ol' romance, with one of those classic "predictable" story lines - low-class girl meets high-class boy, girl gets pregnant, boy's parents force him to marry her, they're supposed to put on a charade until the baby arrives and then get divorced, but whaddya know...they fall in lurrrrrrrve...

Cue the chirping birds and harp music.

Maybe I just haven't been in a lovey-dovey, dreams-do-come-true mood lately. Maybe I've just read so many riveting books in the past few years that this one fell short in comparison.

I don't know what the problem was. But it took me too long to plod through it.

Hoping for better luck with The Carrie Diaries, which I started last night!

Family Day

For the past several days I've been visiting my son who is in OSUT at Fort Benning, GA. This was the first time we had seen him since March 6th when he left. Friday was Family Day and we were able to be with him through Sunday. It was a FANTASTIC weekend!! The smiles on their faces tell how happy Brother and Sister were to be together again!
How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes! ~Maya Angelou

Of A Cherry Blossom Tree

Ten years ago today...

Superman was getting his ass (and jaw) handed to him by General Zod.


Or at least a General Zod, as there have been what, about half a dozen versions of him floating around since the silver age (with the latest one quite literally "floating around" the Phantom Zone)?

I suppose that is a topic begging for a theme week...stay tuned.

Light a fire







There is something oh-so-cozy about sitting around a fire outdoors. I'm craving a fire bowl for the garden, for a spot to warm up, while enjoying a cool evening under the stars.
