Great Artists Hate Each Other
Usually really crappy artist's all hang out together, meanwhile the pretty great one's hate each other.

I have no idea where this is, but would anyone really want to live here?
Now, don't get me wrong this place is amazing...for pictures. But, reallly...could you imagine actually living here with someone you care about? It's like one 200 square foot room in the middle of nowhere with a small bed as the upstairs.
Most importantly, where's the fucking bathroom?
I can take a wild guess where you go to the john. Not only that, I do like to eat. I don't see a kitchen and I don't wanna knit pick but that front door looks weak as hell, I don't want a visit from a skunk or a racoon. Call me a city slicker but can you really sleep like sleeping beauty in the middle of the forest with no AC and no security system? Maybe Gacy or Bundy's clones hang out at that forest, fuck that!

Super Thief Steals Superman memorabilia
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 48-year-old Mike Meyer was robbed by a co-worker two weeks ago. The website says Meyers has been on Social Security for a mental disability since age 23 but has worked part time to supplement that aid.
According to the paper, “Meyer was tricked out of about 1,800 of his favorite Superman comic books, some dating to the 1950s. He also lost many of his favorite collector’s items: lunch boxes, an old-time radio, a Monopoly game and television set — all Superman-themed. The loot is worth about $4,000 to $5,000 in total, according to a friend who also collects.” They recount the story of how the theft occurred:
Meyer said mostly only his friends and family knew of his collection, but he also made the mistake once of telling someone less trustworthy: a guy named Gary whom he worked with at the Hardee’s on Madison Avenue in 1991.
Meyer said he ran into Gary recently while at Kyle’s Baseball Cards and Comics in Granite City. Gary asked Meyer whether he still collected Superman items and asked to see the collection. Meyer first gave an excuse, but then Gary called him later saying he was in the neighborhood and hoped to stop by.
“He just kept talking like a salesman,” Meyer said. “He wouldn’t take no for an answer.”
Meyer said he let Gary into the house that day and gave him a quick tour. Gary asked to see “my most precious comics,” Meyer said.
The next night, Gary was back again, asking whether Meyer would let Gary’s girlfriend watch some of his Superman movies. Meyer said while he and the girlfriend watched, Gary disappeared for a while.
Meyer noticed the theft two days later, on the morning of Aug. 24, and called police. All he knows is that Gary has dark hair, a goatee, is about 35 and drives a silver or gray car.
Meyer said a lot of what Gary stole from him was sentimental, “He invaded my privacy, and he took away my peace of mind.”
“He uses his powers not to benefit himself, but to help others,” Meyer told the paper when speaking about his favorite character, “He’s the champion of the oppressed.” Here’s hoping someone can help Meyer. Granite City police are investigating but if anyone receives any offers to buy Superman comics (Meyer says he owned #99 – the present) or the other items mentioned or sees them online please contact the police immediately with any information.
It's a bird,
It's a plane,
It's a Super Thief
Comic retailers and collectors in the general St. Louis area should keep their eyes open for anyone selling Superman memorabilia and comics. A mentally disabled fan from Granite City, Illinois has been robbed of thousands of dollars worth of his personal collection.

Super Mario Money!
With my aimless internet skills as usual I stumbled across this dollar bill. Not just any dollar bill, a Super Mario dollar bill. Word. Now, I've seen quite a lot of money touched up by artists, but I'm a game freak and this just hit a nerve of awe-some-ness.
No more coins and mushrooms for Mari-yo!

Beginners Footwork Drill for Fencing (Video)

Test
The darling of the Liberal Right, Sophie Mirabella, has surprised party insiders, who have spoken to VEXNEWS on condition of anonymity with her loud and proud protectionist pronouncements since becoming the federal shadow Industry minister.
Normally her grouping is seen as advocates of smaller government and less government intervention in the economy.
However, since her elevation to the crucial Industry portfolio, where she shadows Victorian Socialist Left Senator Kim Carr, a known defender of industry planning and government intervention, she has surprised observers by criticising his administration for doing too little for manufacturers rather than getting out of the way and letting the market do what it does.
One insider said it confirmed his suspicions that "her principles are like bumper stickers to her, peeled off easily when inconvenient."
Others said it pointed to a worrying trend in the Abbott Liberals where some in the Liberal leadership are intent on delivering a "form of government BA Santamaria would be proud of."
"More hand-outs for sympathetic stakeholders, no workplace reforms, no economic reform and a head-long rush back to the 1950s is what you're going to see," one Victorian Liberal, critical of the policy direction, told VEXNEWS.

Why has the once loud Liberal champion of limited government morphed into a Protectionist heavyweight?

The photo work of Melchior Tersen is pretty damn straight forward, raw and some it is just fuckin' bizzare. I don't know about you, but I get kinda weirded out about seeing people holding dead rotting animals. At any case, he captures some peoples backs over at Hell Fest. Europe is a funny and irronic place.

DC's Digital Comic Books?
Comic books have finally gone fully digital with DC’s release of Same Day Digital. The program will release digital versions of new comic books the same day that they are available in print. The comics will cost $2.99 and drop down to $1.99 after four weeks.
Other companies and publishing houses have experimented with digital comics, but Same Day Digital marks the first all-in bet that digital is the future of comic books.
The Same Day Digital program will be available on a range of platforms including the iOS family of devices, Android and personal computers. DC Comics pushed its digital launch to coincide with the New 52, a massive overhaul and reimagining of 52 of their most iconic characters.
Marquee names like Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and more received costume redesigns, as well as updated origin stories. All 52 characters had their comic series reset to issue #1.
“I think part of this whole initiative was breaking down those doors and one was by changing the continuity and streamlining the shorelines and the second part of that… was doing digital delivery, right?” says Jim Lee, DC’s co-publisher and the man behind the New 52 character redesigns.
Mashable had a chance to mess around with the app on an iPad. The app is presently bare bones with simple scroll and zoom options. One tap brings up navigation tools, including a bottom bar with all the pages, and a settings option where you can automate page turns or set preferences on speech bubbles. The final panel is a pop-up box asking users to rate the comic and directing them to purchase additional comics in the series or browse through other titles.
