Morgan Spurlock, the director behind Super Size Me, has turned his lens to the world's biggest geek gathering, the San Diego Comic-Con.
Interviewing such nerd icons as Kevin Smith, Joss Whedon, Eli Roth and Stan Lee, Spurlock attempts to dissect the cultural phenomenon that is SDCC. How so? By following a handful of attendees as they make their way through the convention center. Here's the synopsis for Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope:
Have you ever imagined a place where Vulcans and vampires get along? Where wizards and wookies can be themselves? Welcome to Comic-Con San Diego. What started as a fringe comic book convention for 500 fans has grown into the pop culture event of the year that influences every form of entertainment, now attended by over 140,000 strong. COMIC-CON EPISODE IV: A FAN'S HOPE- a film by Morgan Spurlock explores this amazing cultural phenomenon by following the lives of five attendees as they descend upon the ultimate geek mecca at San Diego Comic-Con 2010.
We'll be honest, we were very nervous about this documentary, fearing it may be another Big Bang Theory in documentary clothing, but so far it appears to be both honest and endearing. We're keeping our fingers crossed it stays that way. Oh, and in case you're wondering, that's footage from Comic-Con 2010. Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope will hit theaters [Updated with Date] on April 6th!

In my previous blog post, I presented a fairly complete extension panel for InDesign. This time, I'd like to step back a bit and talk about the process of developing an extension for three Creative Suite applications: Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop. We'll be doing something pretty basic–drawing the same shape in all three applications. While we're at it, we'll create a framework we can use to draw any valid shape. This framework will simplify and standardize the process of drawing a shape, and will work for almost any extension that needs to draw shapes.
In this example, we'll create a generic extension that can run in any of the above applications, and we'll keep our application specific code isolated from the overall workings of the extension.
It's All in the (Application-Specific) Details
The trickiest part of this extension, in fact, is the application-specific code. Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop can all draw paths, but each of the applications has a slightly different way of performing the task. In all three applications, you can draw paths using the Pen tool, and the resulting shapes, from a scripting point of view, are made up of paths, which are, in turn, made up of path points. The names and the details of the scripting objects differ a bit between products. In Illustrator and Photoshop, for example, the basic drawing object is a
pathItem; in InDesign, it's a
Next, the applications have different ways of dealing with measurement. We'll need to use measurement values to specify horizontal and vertical coordinates if we're going to position new path points in a document. In InDesign and Photoshop, you can change measurement units at any time; Illustrator, by contrast, always uses points when it's being driven by a script. In this example, we'll be using points, but, for your own scripts, you'll need to convert measurement values to points before sending them to Illustrator.
In InDesign and Photoshop, path point coordinates are specified relative to the ruler zero point; in Illustrator, they're specified relative to the lower-left corner of the artboard. Since the default location of the ruler zero point is the upper-left corner of the document in all three applications, this means that the paths in Illustrator will be upside down relative to the paths in the other programs, but we don't need to worry about that right now.
Finally, Illustrator and InDesign have a number of "shortcuts" for drawing paths with specifc arrangements of points–rectangles, ellipses, regular polygons, etc. We'll ignore those features in favor of a "one size fits all" drawing routine.
In this tutorial, I'll present support routines that provide a consistent approach to drawing paths in these applications. The idea is to create a generic drawing function that you can use to build new creative effects (ornamental borders for certificates, for example) or wire into your new data driven graphics feature.
You can download the project here (note that this isn't really a "finished" extension, it's just a container for the drawing routines):

Tim Tebow to Speak at Celebration Church's 'Easter on the Hill' Event
The Celebration Church, located in Austin, Texas, announced Monday that Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow will be a guest speaker at its Easter Sunday event, "Easter on the Hill," scheduled for April 8.
"Celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ with thousands throughout the Austin metroplex on top of one of the highest points in Central Texas," reads the event's official website.
The outdoor event, expected to usher in about 20,000 Austin-area families for one of the most celebrated Christian holy days, will take place beginning at 10 a.m. on the church's 110-acre Westinghouse campus in Georgetown, Texas. Easter Sunday marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and is perhaps one of the most highly-attended church services all year for believers.
"It's a great time to use the property that the Lord gave to us several years ago and it's always been our vision to see people worshiping out on that hill. On the heels of our 12th year anniversary, it's going to be amazing," said Lori Champion, Celebration Church co-pastor, in a statement.
The free event, "Easter on the Hill," is the first-ever outdoor Easter service sponsored by Celebration Church.
Celebration Church has multiple campuses and boasts a weekly attendance of 6,000, according to the church's official website.
Tebow, 24, is a dedicated Christian who has impacted popular culture and fellow believers with his displays of faith on and off the field. Through his public displays of faith, Tebow started the trend dubbed "Tebowing," which involves bending one knee and praying.
"As the son of an NFL coach, and also someone who came to know Christ thanks to two NFL players who were willing to share the Gospel with me, I am extremely excited to have Tim Tebow with us this year. We believe this year's service will impact the lives of those who would never enter the doors of a church," said Joe Champion, pastor of Celebration Church.
The Easter service will take place at the Westinghouse campus, located at 1202 Rabbit Hill Road in Georgetown. Gates open at 8 a.m., and the service begins at 10 a.m. Participants are encouraged to arrive early and bring a blanket and a snack for the worship service.

While Manny Ramirez began his hCG-detox in the Suspension Lounge deep within Scott Boras's Orange County compound, his now-abandoned team had to carry on without its lovable floppy-haired, hormone-abusing left fielder.
A Very Special Deadspin correspondent was at last night's game against the marginally major-league Washington Nationals, the first of Manny's months-long exile, to take the temperature of a crowd betrayed by its favorite player. His report on the game (which you probably already know was choked away, 2009-Yankees-style, by the Dodgers):
What was the first night of post-Mannywood like? Totally strange. It's like someone took a scrub brush and wiped every trace of Manny from the stadium-including the fans. I figured there probably wouldn't be Manny videos and I thought they might even pull the Manny merch from the stands and vendors (I didn't see any for sale) but I looked all night and couldn't even find a fan with a Manny shirt on. (And these guys are usually everywhere....often with the fake dreds). Seems LA has turned on the guy, at least judging from how quickly he's been forgotten. Oh, except we lost in spectacular fashion. That hadn't seemed to happen much (or at all) this season.
Besides whatever hit the Dodgers take to their attendance (which probably won't be too bad if they continue winning at home at a .929 clip—nothing makes an L.A. sports fan hornier than a bandwagon to jump on), the temporary loss of their Manny merchandising has got to hurt—one of Frank McCourt's homes was bought entirely with the proceeds from fake-dred sales and foam, Manny-Being-Manny branded bongs. But more interestingly, it doesn't seem that the Dodger faithful are exactly clamoring to defend their onetime savior against a Draconian substance abuse policy that won't allow an aging player to do everything in his power to stimulate his depleted ovaries and squeeze out one more baby before his biological clock strikes midnight. Maybe they're just saving up their love and support for early July, when the Blue are clinging to a half-game lead over the Diamondbacks and Juan Pierre still hasn't hit one as far as the warning track.

I recently conducted a survey asking my colleagues to identify their biggest fears when thinking about starting a business or running their business. Thefollowing are the top three fears that resulted from my survey and some ways to combat them.
1. Fear of Failure: But of course it's the most obvious. Unfortunately, the reality is that 30-50% of start-ups fail for various reasons that are not always because of poor sales. However, there are some basic ways to get over failing, if you plan ahead for the good times and bad: a) Know your strengths and weaknesses. People who fear inadequacy sometimes try to do everything to perfection. Yeah, you control freaks out there know who you are! LOL. You must realize what your talents are and then get help where you're lacking. b) Identify the many pitfalls that others have had and learn how to avoid them. It can't be said enough. Know your competitors and find a good mentor!
2. Fear of Insufficient Cash Flow -AKA- Going Broke! Your need for start-up money is the reason why you shouldn't storm out of your dull 9 to 5 just yet. Sure, you might hate your job, but think about it as the contributor to your "lay-away plan for escape". Realize you're probably going to spend more money than you make that first year in business.
Here are some pointers to help prevent you from living back at Mom's in your old room. a) Get your business plan together. This goes hand in hand with Fear number one: Failure. Because the more you have dissected what you need to do, the more realistic things will be for you. b) Get your Side-Hustle going! Start small with projects after work and on weekends. You can test the waters to see if your business is even worth expanding. A slow transition is key. Know your monthly budget and save accordingly. Each paycheck you get from your job and side-hustle, stash away a chunk for your "lay-away plan for escape".
You should have at least 6-12 months saved, so that you can keep that roof over your head and food in your belly! 3. Lack of stability: One of the main reasons people leave their 9 to 5s is because they are bored to tears with the monotony. You can almost expect to be shaken into a world of change when you are in business for numero uno. But I for one think that's what makes it so exciting. Routine is what many are escaping. You'll be free to call your own shots, and instability is something that might even be welcomed.
Be able to adapt to change: With every turn in today's unpredictable business environment you need to be able to change directions quickly and always have a plan B! Entrepreneurs, who are aware of change today and successfully adapt to it, will emerge as the leaders of tomorrow!

I am searching for an Ae ExtendScript expert who is familiar with making custom panels.
Details of the panels function:
The panel is to make the character animation process simpler a faster. The actual rig functions are already created using a slider, and a 'joystick' out of 'joysticks n' sliders' ( if you're unfamiliar with it's function, here's a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPlBmlpbY_o )
As you can see in the above video, the slider is in a panel, while the 'joystick' is on the screen. I would like the slider AND the 'joystick' to be in a single panel, as well as a 'set keyframe'. Attatched is a poor illustration of what a roughly expect it to look like.
In future, I hope to expand on this panels functions.
About you:
Please tell me, have you created a panel before? How long do you think this will take to create? Once we can discuss these too questions, we can discuss a fair price on the projects creation.
Thankyou for looking at my post, I hope I have explained it clearly. If not, please post questions below, or contact me a email@example.com
Kind regards, Scott.

Breaking news, fellow Blizzard fanboys!
Blizzard has been pretty tight-lipped about the specifics of the upcoming Heroes Of The Storm patch so we've put together a report based upon what they have told us and what makes sense given the upcoming open beta and full release dates (May 19th 2015 and June 2nd 2015, respectively). These details come on the heels of the following statement from Vaeflare, Community Manager on the Heroes Of The Storm forums:
We have indeed not yet announced when our next patch or Hero release are, so anyone claiming otherwise is factually incorrect.
We have, however, confirmed an official release date for Heroes of the Storm: June 2, 2015.
This vague response has many Blizzard fans frustrated. It's been over five weeks and we still don't know much about the next major patch. In a recent developer spotlight with Matt Cooper, HotS game designer, we did get some straight answers. Here is what Blizzard has confirmed for the upcoming Heroes Of The Storm patch:
- Healing Ward Rework – Healing ward will have scaling HP as a trade-off for being affected by all attacks, including AoE abilities. It will also have a higher targeting priority so enemies an't sit on it to block attacks.
- The Rich Get Richer – Diablo and E.T.C. are both getting reworked a smidge with new Storm Powers. That's right: the two most popular Warriors in the current meta are being improved further. The reworks, in a nutshell, will Diablo and E.T.C. will be even stronger in Heroes Of The Storm!. E.T.C. players will get more value from Mosh Pit and worry less about "hard counters". While I play both Warriors and love them, I hope that other Warriors are buffed to keep pace.
- Balance Changes – Lots of hero changes are coming in addition to the aforementioned. Chen is going to be buffed so that he is more than just a trolling damage sponge. Anub'arak will now have more effective beetles and talent specs thereof. Abathur's backdoor cheese plays will be essentially removed. Lost Vikings will have their Longboat nerfed and their less-used heroic buffed. Last but not least, Illidan is not being touched.
- Sylvanas, The Banshee Queen – Blizzard has confirmed that Sylvanas is well within their win-rate threshold, hovering at around 50%. The only change they are looking to do in the future is a rework of her Possession heroic; however, they do not have enough feedback to work off of currently.
There are some nice and, well, interesting design decisions but we are sure there is much more in the pipelines. Now for some speculation or, better yet, educated guesses…

Mountain2Mountain has been lucky to be involved in a variety of arenas in the support of women and girls over the past 7 years since its inception. 2 years of partnerships and 5 years of working in Afghanistan have taught us much, and we have been lucky to be involved with a variety of projects that empower women and girls. Going forward, our focus is built around our Strength in Numbers program.
The backbone of Strength in Numbers is the belief that one woman can make a difference but an army of women could change the world. Using bikes, long a symbol of freedom of mobility, and a tool of the women's suffrage movement in America in the early 1900's, to unify the women we work with to pedal a revolution of change for women's rights.
Why the bike? As you know, I became the first person to mountain bike in Afghanistan in 2009, a country that does not allow women to ride. I have continued to do so for the past four years on every visit as a way of challenging gender barriers and opening conversations. When I met the first women to bike in Afghanistan, members of the Afghan National cycling Team, I immediately moved forward with supporting the burgeoning cycling movement.
Around the world the bike is used a direct tool for social justice for women and girls – fighting gender violence, increasing access to education and healthcare, and providing overall freedom of mobility. Not to mention two-wheeled joy. The bike was an integral part of our own American women's suffrage movement, as I illustrate in my recent TEDx talk, A Two Wheeled Revolution.
Now we need your support. Mountain2Mountain has existed with no staff, no offices, and minimal funding for the previous five years. I have traveled to Afghanistan 15 times with three more trips scheduled this year, several funded by myself. I have worked full time for M2M since 2007, leveraging the sale of my house and bank loans against my car to support myself and my daughter Devon, in order to create M2M and the projects in the belief that I could create something beautiful and lasting that could have a ripple effect. It has evolved, gotten a clearer vision, and become my own, but I cannot continue to do this alone.
2014 is set to be a major breakthrough year, we have a entirely new Board of Directors based in Colorado and a vibrant and international Advisory Council to help shepherd in a new era of Mountain2Mountain's work. We need your help to create a solid foundation that will allow us to do more good work in the years to come. The first goal is to build an organizational budget that can support a small staff to work with me on the myriad of programs that support girls and women's rights and opportunities. We have developed the Strength in Numbers program, including its expansion beyond Afghanistan with our Global Launch in Rome next year. We need everyone's help to come together and make the world a better place for women and girls around the world!
The main programming support for 2014 and beyond is Strength in Numbers with three main programming arms.
1. Afghanistan Women's Cycling 2014 Support
- Ongoing support of the women's and the men's national team with gear, equipment, and coaching. Gear drives and sponsorship. This is done directly with the Afghan Cycling Federation.
- Finance a minibus for the women's team to safely travel to and from training and to transport the bikes
- Develop solutions for the overall lack of coaching, training, and racing opportunities in Afghanistan
- Finance racing outside of Afghanistan – travel, lodging, race fees to allow the women to interact with their regional counterparts
- Petition their involvement in 2016 Olympics in Brazil as observers
- Focus on team development for future racing / possible exchange outside of Afghanistan to gain spot for 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
- Expansion of the women's cycling movement outside of Kabul spring 2014
- New cycling team development and support of burgeoning cycling groups
- First ever women's mountain bike team in Afghanistan started in Bamiyan province
- First women's road bike team in Bamiyan province
- Gear, bikes, clothing
- Recognition by Afghan Cycling Federation and Afghan Olympic Committee
- First ever women's bike race in Afghanistan
- New cycling team development and support of burgeoning cycling groups
2. Global Strength in Numbers Launch
- Women's Summit: Launching in Rome in fall 2014 with women from other key countries where women's rights issues are key to discuss SIN participation
- Solidarity Ride 2014 in Rome with participation in the US, Afghanistan, Palestine, Pakistan, and India confirmed
- Announce the spread of Strength in Numbers into other countries with the goal of spearheading women's rights activism and future projects.
3. US based Strength in Numbers Camp
- One week mountain biking camps that target women who have survived gender violence or girls at risk to empower them to become leaders in the fight for women's rights globally
- Summer of 2014 with 1-2 camps in Colorado
- 2015 they would be one of several global programs under Strength in Numbers and the only US based program of Mountain2Mountain
- Women would be chosen out of this program to take part in cultural exchanges with women in the global programs to provide cross cultural connections through cycling while developing solutions and programs around the issues of women's rights and gender violence.
Our biggest roadblock is financial. We have the support and the development to achieve the global launch of Strength in Numbers, but we need everyone's help to build the financial foundation to manage this program for the next 5-10 years if we want to see a true ripple of change occur and create a two wheeled revolution with women worldwide.
We have several major assets to help us reach our goals in the long term. My memoir: Mountain to Mountain: An Adventurer's Journey Through Afghanistan on Two Wheels comes out with St. Martin's press on October 1, 2014. Afghan Cycles, the documentary film by Let Media is in production and will release in the fall or winter of 2014/2015 and as the film's non profit partner, all outreach and marketing will direct people to get involved via our Strength in Numbers program. Major national and international press are covering the team and our work with them in the spring and summer of 2014. We have amazing partners in the cycling industry with PrimalWear, Skratch Labs, Osprey Packs, Shredly, Handlebar Mustache, Pedros, and Alchemy Bicycles giving their support in year one. The pieces are in place, we simply need to build our foundational support to allow us to plan long term, not project by project, trip by trip. The time has come to grow, building a strong and capable team that can lead Mountain2Mountain and our projects forward.
Our Strength IS in our numbers and its time to come together as a global community to support a global program uniting women and girls around the world to tackle gender violence and women's rights.
You can donate today, or email me directly email@example.com to get more information or discuss your support further.
All my appreciation and gratitude,

Hey! I know some of those people!!! Metropolitan looks great! Is that Father Anthony in the back? If that's him, his beard is getting rather long!
I missed the 4th week of Pan-Orthodox Vespers because I had been terribly sick, however, here's Week 5.This is Holy Trinity Orthodox Church in Detroit.
my pictures are nothing compared to Liza's, but i thought id share this one anyways. Taken this morning after liturgy, with an iphone. Thought it looked cool.
Again, every photo is beautiful. Especially the kids.
Kinda disappointed I have not received any feedback.
Photos taken by me today. Some crosses.https://www.facebook.com/Misza.Kalina/media_set?set=a.700511096625611.1073741826.100000001816722&type=3
Did you take all these photos?
Where were they taken?
"This content is currently unavailable." That's the message I get.
So, did you take these photos this weekend? If so, was there some particular event that everyone was out at the cemeteries?I know we have St. Demetrios next Saturday,
perhaps you are on new calendar?
Do they look like New Calendar?
and this one has a similar "buried" cross.
...and some of these look to be really old.
the other has the holy water sprinkler thingy.
The contrast between the simple blue tombstones and the rather ostentatious one is quite jolting.

Firefighters said Sheldon Deller, 52, was killed when a fire broke out in the first-floor bedroom of his home at 5018 West Heaps Road at 12:41 p.m.
Deputy fire marshals said initial investigations indicated Deller was asleep in his bedroom while the rest of the family was on the second floor, watching television.
Firefighters said the fire began in the victim's bedroom and his pre-existing medical condition could have prevented him from escaping the fire.
Investigators said the victim's sister, Tenea Sparks, discovered heavy smoke throughout the house and alerted the rest of the family. Sparks and Deller's mother, Janice Cross, attempted to rescue him, while Cross' friend, Wilber Burnha, escaped from the fire.
Firefighters said the two were unsuccessful in their attempts and were forced to escape the smoke-filled room.
Deputies with the Harford County Sheriff's Office found the victim in his bedroom, and he was taken to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Deputy state fire marshals said the fire originated in an overloaded electrical outlet. The fire smothered itself out, but not before releasing heavy smoke and carbon monoxide, investigators said.

I posted the other day about how I went to Hobby Lobby and of course I bought some stuff. One of the things that I bought was this lovely embossing folder of butterflies. I love butterflies and enjoy working with them whenever I can.
On the way home I was already thinking about a card that I could make. I thought up this lovely idea to emboss different colored cardstock and layer them onto a card and that is exactly what I did.
I used my Sizzix texture boutique, she is the cutest little tool and the perfect color because she is blue which is my favorite color. Back to the steps for this card that I made in not time at all.
I embossed white, blue, and purple cardstock with the texture boutique and my new embossing folder. I then fussy cut the blue and purple cardstock so that the blue cardstock would be smaller than the white cardstock and the purple cardstock would be smaller than the blue cardstock. I adhered all three pieces to a an A2 size card which is 4¼ x 5½.
I then fussy cut a light purple piece of cardstock, which is a little over an inch wide and stamped "Thinking of You" sentiment on it. Voila my card was all done!

Mindy Segal's Top Picks for Valentine's Day Sweets in Chicago
When we reached out to Mindy Segal (owner of Mindy's Hot Chocolate in Chicago), for some top sweets to savor on Valentine's Day, we assumed her wish list would feature all things chocolate, but that wasn't the case. Instead of the standard suspects, Mindy's Valentine's Day dessert picks range from soft serve ice cream kissed with cinnamon and caramel to salty-sweet Basque cake, proving that there are more ways to mark the holiday than with the standard chocolatey sweets.
So, which Chicago-area treats have a special place in her heart? Scroll down to find out.
Mindy's Picks
Olive Oil and Chocolate Cocotte from Avec: This is pure gooey, chocolate-y goodness. It's one of their incredibly popular menu items, and it looks as delicious as it tastes!
Vietnamese Cinnamon-Caramel Soft Serve from Belly Shack: This soft serve is an inventive, refreshing treat. It's always the perfect way to end a meal at Belly Shack.
Sour Cream Donuts from Munster Donut: This place is open 24 hours a day (except for a few holidays), so you can almost always quench any doughnut craving. Their sour cream doughnuts are a particular favorite of mine and one of the signature recipes that they're known for!
Amanda Rockman's Basque Cake from The Bristol: The Basque Cake has the perfect blend of sweet and salty. It's less dense than a traditional Basque cake, so you don't feel weighed down after eating it.
Biscuits with butter and jam from Bang Bang Pie Shop: These biscuits are the best. They're dense and buttery and also vegetarian. They've created a style that's separate from the traditional "southern biscuit," so they're the go-to for the "mid-western" biscuit experience.
Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies from Bake: They have all sorts of sweets at Bake, including everything from cakes and pastries to popsicles. These cookies are one of my favorites on their menu—just delicious.
From her own shop, Mindy's pick is hot fudge and smoked almond rugelach. She'll be making a special batch of heart-shaped cookies in honor of V-Day.

Trout Steak Revival, as far as we know, is the first band we've had in the studio that has won an Emmy. The Denver bluegrass band's music was on a show on public TV in Denver that won the award, and TSR has a statuette to prove it. (We even got to hold it — we can report that the figure on the award has sharp wings. You can learn more fun facts about the Emmy during the interview with Quentin.)
But we didn't even know about all that before the band showed up. We invited Trout Steak Revival into the studio because the band is one of the top bluegrass acts on the Front Range, a region that is serious about its bluegrass.
With traditional instrumentation, an old-time approach to songwriting and skillful delivery, Trout Steak made the session go fabulously with songs such as "Colorado River," "Union Pacific" (at least that's the working title for this newbie) and "Go On." Fiddler Bevin Foley broke a string just as the session got under way, but her timing was lucky — she made it to a nearby music store minutes before it closed.
What they brought us: A printed atlas, one of a couple the band keeps in the event that Trout Steak tours the world.
