Comic Book Fans and Creators join forces to do good at the 1st Annual “Heroes Helping Legends”. A weekend celebrating comic books while helping artists and writers in need.
Question: Who does a Living Legend turn to when in need of help? Answer: The fans. Everyone knows that they are the lifeblood of any creative endeavor. The fans have always "got your back." The 1st Annual "Heroes Helping Legends" event allows Chicago's comic book fans to give back to creators that have already given them so much joy and entertainment. Many of the art form's earliest writers and artists find themselves unable to make ends meet in their retirement and often lack adequate resources to cover medical expenses.
Now it is the loyal readers' turn to play the hero by attending a two-day mini-convention, Saturday, September 16th and Sunday, September 17th, 2006 at the Mercury Café, 1505 W. Chicago Avenue in Chicago. Fans will be able to hunt for literary treasure through a massive comic book sale, chat with local writers, get a unique sketch by local artists, and bid on range of one-of-a-kind art and collectibles all while enjoying the music of local bands. All proceeds benefit The Hero Initiative (www.HeroInitiative.org), formerly A.C.T.O.R. Comic Fund (www.actorcomicfund.org) - a national non-profit that provides financial assistance and a critical network of support to comic book industry veterans that have met with hard times.
This event is meant for fans of all ages and will be appealing to any collector on a budget. Most comics will be sold at the price of 5 comics for one dollar. To encourage sustained perusing, hint sheets will be sold to lead fans to prizes that are hidden in select issues. Local artists like Skottie Young and Andrew Pepoy will be on hand to draw sketches while bands with a comic book affinity like Daemon Familiar and Recent Photo will ensure that the Mercury Café is rockin'. The event will represent the diverse range of the comics medium so fans of underground slice of life stories will be as much at home as the fans of the capes and spandex set. The imagery and iconic power of comic book characters permeates every aspect of our culture and it is often the most enduring relationships that we will have with fictional characters in all of literature. It is up to all of us to make certain that those responsible for these beloved characters and stories are not left out in the cold once they have moved on from the limelight.
Avid and novice readers alike are welcome. There is a suggested $5 entry fee donation and the organizers are still soliciting donated comic books if you need to make some room among your collection. Contact them at heroeshelpinglegends@yahoo.com

110,000 Throughout Ireland Protested Against 64 Billion Euro Bank Debt - Were You There?
Have you ever noticed how often the number 64 appears in headlines and on posters. We in Ireland have a 64 Billion Euro debt, or so we are told. It is interesting to note that "The $64,000 Question" was an American game show broadcast from 1955–1958, which became embroiled in the scandals involving TV quiz shows of the day.
The organisers of today's protest march claimed that over 110,000 people took part in the demonstrations.but according to local media and police estimates the total country wide turnout was about 50,000.
The largest event took place in Dublin and according to local police about 25,000 took part while the organisers claim that at least 60,000 took part (maybe 64,000 took part). Today an experienced journalist explained to me that the police count the number of legs and divide by two and the protest organisers count the number of legs and divide by one (BTW that's a joke).
To be honest I do not know if anyone is even trying to be accurate but the following statement was issued by the ITCU:
9 Feb 2013
More than 110,000 people took part in demonstrations across the country today, in protest at the country’s continued bank debt burden.
The protests were organised by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions and took place in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford and Sligo.
Over 60,000 took part in the Dublin protest, while at least 15,000 turned out in Cork, 13,000 in Waterford, 10,000 in Limerick, 7,000 in Sligo and 5,000 I Galway.
Congress General Secretary David Begg told protestors at a rally in Dublin’s Merrion Square that bank debt problem had not been solved by the recent deal.
He vowed Congress would continue its bank debt campaign until the link between private bank debt and national debt was clearly broken.

Jake Behrens is an evangelist and engineer at Apple. Jon Parrott is works is a developer programs engineer at Google. David Demaree is a product manager for Typekit Adobe.
They all work in the the tech industry, and what also unites these three is their unconventional path to their current jobs. None of them have formal training in coding or computer science: Behrens holds a bachelor’s of arts in journalism and advertising; Parrott says he barely graduated high school; and Demaree shares that he went to art school.
The three are among hundreds who took to Twitter this weekend using the hashtag #UnqualifiedForTech, showing that not all tech jobs require relevant credentials, and that great talent often comes from diverse and multi-disciplinary backgrounds.
But the conversation also revealed an unanticipated—and discomforting—trend: many who land jobs without a CS degree (or at least feel comfortable tweeting about it) are white.
The conversation was started by Alice Goldfuss, a site reliability engineer at GitHub with a degree in film. “I was tired of reading about how unqualified the Equifax [Chief Information Security Officer] was due to her music degree,” Goldfuss wrote in an email to EdSurge on why she created the hashtag. “Yes, there was gross misconduct and incompetence at Equifax, but that has nothing to do with her degree… I wanted to stand up for those who have an unconventional path into tech.”
On Sunday, the self-taught programmer tweeted the following:
Hi, I’m a Site Reliability Engineer at a large tech company.
I have a BFA in Film.
Anyone else #unqualifiedfortech?
— Alice Goldfuss (@alicegoldfuss) September 17, 2017
At first the conversation stirred responses from folks like Behrens or Parrot, many who felt empowered to share their non-technical backgrounds.
I’m a Sr Incident Responder at a gaming company. I have a BA in Genetics and French. Took no computer classes in school. #unqualifiedfortech t.co/KPIcTfgmuA
— Emily Gladstone Cole (@unixgeekem) September 17, 2017
Principal engineer & architect at an awesome tech co with ~250 engineers.
I have two degrees in plant ecology.#unqualifiedfortech
— Brent Miller (@foliosus) September 17, 2017
But it quickly opened up new questions about how privilege intersects with who benefits the most from certain degrees, alternative education providers, or even no formal higher education at all. “I think #UnqualifiedForTech speaks a lot to imposter syndrome and sexism/racism in tech,” Goldfuss shared. “Having a film degree means I never feel qualified to be in a technical role and being a woman means there’s many systemic biases that reaffirm my doubt.”
Other contributors in the thread pointed out that many of those who managed to land a tech job without the expected qualifications were men, white and still held some level of higher education under their belt.
Also worth nothing, I have an associates, a year experience, portfolio and github. If you’re a POC anything short of a bachelors won’t help

What’s missing in #UnqualifiedForTech: social capital of being a white straight dude let people believe your self-teaching was good enough.
— Taber Andrew Bain (@taber) September 18, 2017
When you get a moment, I encourage you to read through the many #unqualifiedfortech responses.
Then realize how many of us are white.
— Alice Goldfuss (@alicegoldfuss) September 18, 2017
“It’s far easier for a white man to get hired without proper credentials than a white woman, due to the ratio of white men with power in tech. And it’s easier for a white woman to get hired than a [person of color], especially women of color,” Goldfuss elaborated in an email. “Breaking into tech without a CS degree isn’t easy, but having the right skin color and gender gives you a leg up.”
tech white dudes rn: “I don’t have a CS degree”
meanwhile women poc gotta have 10x degrees just to get taken srsly
— butt | masking (@__biancat) September 18, 2017
The tweet storm touched at a common debate in the higher-ed community—what degrees or credentials are necessary to land a job in today’s changing work landscape? Goldfuss began her own career working in web support for a marketing company, but began learning Python at night to work towards her next role. After later becoming a software engineer, she then added Linux to her repertoire, again studying by night.
Goldfuss later moved into ops roles site reliability engineering. To get there she says she learned from books, watching videos online, getting help from colleagues “and many late-night mistakes.”
What’s clear from the hashtag—and research—is that Goldfuss is far from alone in that endeavor. A 2016 study by Stack Overflow, an online community and job board for developers, shows 69 percent of developers are self-taught, and less than half have a BA or BS in computer science or a similar field.
Wendy Nather, principal security strategist at the account protection firm Duo Security, told The Washington Post this week that it’s “extremely common” for companies like hers to hire workers coming from nontechnical backgrounds. The article reads: “What these people bring to the job is a way of thinking about problems — and then solving them — that draws on the best of other disciplines.”

There should be a giant question mark on my face at all times because I just don't know.
I feel like I'm in this weird transitional part of my life.
My mind is just racing with what ifs lately. Should I do this? What if I do that? Do I want to do that? How about this? Or why not? It's draining, very draining. I get ahead of myself, and start thinking about a year from now, trying to plan, and I can't.
I'm like this floating blob of a human.
Plus I feel like I'm a 22 year old (okay, in a week & a half) living a 17 year old's life. What I do now is pretty much no different than what I did when I was 17. Well, except pay bills & work constantly. I still live with my parents, I'm still in school. I'm not sure where I think I should be, just somewhere else. My best friend's going to be graduating from grad school around this time next year.
The only big NEXT STEP there is, besides getting my degree, is moving out.
Question 18: Who said you needed to go the psychiatrist when he looked at a
player and imagined a chop? A: Ancelotti; B: Ronaldinho C: Ronaldo (brazilian)
And the answers are:
a) the player is Zhirkov b) has enough barbecue c) he could have been (A barbecue is never too much)
_____________________________________
"you are who you are, we've

you work hard day in and day

the corporate ladder, yet, you
are empty and hollow inside

you swim to the depths of

you climb up mountains, just
to find out when you get to the
top, that no answer is waiting
for you, nor hiding in plain sight
.
“wherever you go, there you are”,
the saying is true and oh, so wise!
your shadow is a part of you and
yearning to be seen and loved

so, the answer is simple indeed,
we've said this before, but we'll repeat
again, the only place you can meet

This screen capture was taken less 5 minutes after the candidates had stopped answering the "abortion" question.
For those who didn't see the debate, an audience member asked a question of the candidates amounting to "What will you look for in a Supreme Court appointee?" Before the first candidate was able to answer, a CNN moderator interrupted to ask the candidate to include his stance on abortion in his answer.
Video of the question is here on CNN's site for now. (You can hear Biden laughing in background at the absurdity of asking for an audience question and then changing it when it wasn't what CNN wanted)
This obvious manipulation of the audience member's question was made more understandable when I looked at the CNN front page and saw their lead story, updated before the question had been asked.
This could, of course, be the result of CNN having agreed with the audience member beforehand on what her question would be, and the questioner accidentally or purposefully modifying her question into what turned out to be a more interesting query. As all of the candidates' stances on Roe v. Wade are well known, CNN might not be going out on a limb by stating they all agreed ahead of time, but if that's the case, it still doesn't seem to meet journalistic standards. Regardless, it's a very revealing peek into the workings behind CNN's debates and reporting, and puts into doubt the value of audience-sourced questions.

Would you lie on your back in order to get a shot? That is the question that I asked myself when looking at the ceiling of the Library of Congress. My friend Tom lied on his back for a similar shot but I chose to lay my camera on the floor, turn on the self-timer and quickly step away to get my shot. To onlookers, both of these situations had to be a little strange. Now, would I lie on back in the middle of the Library of Congress to get a shot? I definitely would do it if it is what it took.

The question is raised because although these vehicles were delivered weeks apart, it was discovered at first test they were wearing each others number plates. both coaches had to be taken together to test and the plates changed under the watchful eye of VOSA
A very long, and unproductive day.
I guess I have a few questions for anyone willing to answer. Do any of you ever have days where you can't think of anything at all to create? Most of my days are that way, and I end up needing to look at other people's work for inspiration instead of dreaming things up on my own( I do not mean copy other's work, by the way). How much of your work is "inspired" vs "dreamed up"? Is your mind a plethora of ideas, or a wasteland with the occasional sprout attempting to take root in barren soil?
Sometimes I worry I'm left brained instead of right (not that there's anything wrong with that), due to my lack of ability to create "good enough" original ideas. It makes me question if I should even be pursuing photography.
Gosh, every bit of this is horribly articulated. Maybe some of it maketh sense?
