Boy talk about a interesting coffee cup, A couple of years ago one my coworkers at Albertsons went and had gone to a yard sale one weekend an found this neat coffee cup
,seen here. What is it about this very coffee cup that has kept me Matt up since midnight you are asking yoursevles right? Well it turns out that this coffee cup isn't just an ordinary one by any means at all... it is actually a puzzle cup. Ealier in late February I went looking at what was behind each peice by looking at what was behind each one. So behind each peice was a Enterprise D fact like where was it built?, when was it launched?, tough for non Star Trek Next generation fans or a Star Trek fan that hasn't seen anything other than the original series with that in mind how many trek fans know who relived Picard actor wise in the sixth season two part episodes called "CHAIN OF COMMAND" the character was Edward Jelico so my question is actually a puzzle itself huh? Another hidden gem in the puzzle cup is what is the Enterprise D's maximum wrap speed. How else would someone be able to keep from sleeping when you have a million things on your train of thinking during a world wide pandemic? For me keeping my barin from focusing on doubt or dispiriting entrapment I have to do something to keep busy anyway I can. I remember putting puzzles together from the Golden one hundred pieces of super heroes like the INCREDIBLE HULK pulling a wreck cruise line through the ocean ( I will tell you what had happened to that puzzle some other time, when I feel another puzzle mood is abounding....) or a huge Disney one with all of the animated characters against a yellow background. One other puzzle that I remember putting together in elementary school was a Road Runner and Wilie Coyote with and image of the Coyote was in a hot air balloon basket with the Road Runner on top of the balloon. One of my greatest helper with most of my job of putting puzzles together was this man seen with me in the picture seen here
who was this great guy ?you are wondering well he was my granddaddy Ben Powers who taught me many things in life but most importantly he taught me how to be patient with many situations in our journey called life. Life is about puzzles and dealing with our current world wide pandemic virus called conroviuris is indeed many pieces and the solution to it for the time being is all over the place...yet it will take a great journey to finding the whole world a cure, which right now is very much a giant puzzle in every way possible for now. Before I leave you I want to share where I am at on my mobile online Star Trek Timelines game with it's current mini event I will admit that even online games have ongoing puzzles within them. Please stay safe and healthy by staying inside your home and keep busy by doing something fun!
Hello All, So as you who all read this very blog know that I have always been a giant kid at heart, and yes again just yesterday was my special day of when I was born. I want to today talk about a television series that started way back when that at times I have posted images from but have not as yet gone into my actual love for a show that brought the forefront of those that help us all when we are sick or ill with a injury or another type of aliment that is causing us to be not our normal or natural selves. I am of course talking about the show that aired on NBC as an midseason replacement for "THE GOOD LIFE" and "THE PARTNERS" it permired on January fifteenth, nineteen seventy two and ran till May twenty eight, nineteen seventy seven. It was called "EMERGENCY!"
I happen to have the first two seasons and the post television movies on DvD. Today I am wanting to share my thoughts on a very specific yet very special episode of the first season.... the episode's title is "DILEMMA" before we get started I want you all to know that Emergency! will not fit my widescreen smart television because of the camera that the filming crew used was full frame to fit the television screen ratio, of one point thirty three point one. Which was before sixteen by nine for the widescreen format which most everyone has a choice of getting now if they wish too. "DILEMMA" was the show's ninth episode and it's time that it was on was (EST:5:30-6:00 ) and (CST:3:30-5:00 P.M.).
Now let's get into the full review of the episode and see what occurred in this very special episode ( I will explain why it is so very special after the review) like the Star Trek series Emergency! had teasers to the star of each episode, in this tease the viewing audience with the station being alerted to a call of a possible cardiac victim being stuck in a elevator at 225 overland cross street, Alcott which is an old hotel named club deko. Once inside and after talking to the manger on staff Roy and John race to the elevator mantince operation shaft on the fourth floor to find out that
the break drum is slipping. They race down to the main floor Roy climbs into top of the elevator and we see the trapped passengers... he helps out all but and elderly couple the husband protected his wife as the fell, his name is Sam. His wife that has the heart attack or possibly a heart attack is named Annie. At Rampart one the newest student nurse Sharon Walters is flustered by doctor Brackett rides her about getting the incoming reading off of the current incoming transcript of the call. Dixie McCall the head nurse tells Brackett his inpeckable inpatient procedure doesn't apply to all newbies. Back at station fifty one, Johnny Gage has a problem from the other day when he was putting away the station flag... the problem is Cynthia. Johnny describes her as a fireman groupie. Walters can speak to Joe Early but, she learns a little bit of changing her thoughts towards Kel Brackett, to still be unsure at the moment. A call at the station comes in of an industrialized accident has happened in the Alameda train yard area. Two train tank cleaning men have gotten their jobs of cleaning vegetable oil cars maybe confusion according to their supervisor. The team go searching for Andy which is stuck in a train tank on row three, Johnny finds a hose that leads him and Roy to look into the tank and
they find Andy. Whom was very much in need a resperatoir to get him back to being stabilized and wash the chemical with water. The chemical the two were exposed to was trichloroethylene. Andy was sitting at the way he was saved his life. Sam from the earlier elevator incident starts to have chest pains and Sharon Walters is with him while it is occurring. She helps him by setting him right in his hospital bed. She tells Brackett that Sam had a respiratory distress pulse 135 and thready blood pressure 90 over 60. She ask Brackett after he wants an IV started will he want a portable x-ray and cardiogram. He responded with "And some blood tests." Sam had just had an embolism that resulted from when he had a clot just a moment ago. Brackett comes to learn that a chat between Dix and Sharon gave Sharon her confidence to overcome her fears of Brackett. Yet Brackett and the audience are left wondering what that whole conversation was about? As for Gage's Cynthia problem is pretty sloved when she starts seeing
fellow firefighter Chet. Now as to why this very episode is so very specific as the title of this blog states is because it aired on March 25,1972 the day after I was born. So like me being forthy eight years old in twenty ,twenty it to is forthy eight years old as well. Sometime after this coronavirus diease has passed us by I will write about the whole "Emergency!" series I of course just may have to wait for findfin seasons three through five somewhere on DvD sales maybe Amazon would be my best answer there huh? Still it like all the other television series that I have talked about will be posted here eventually. I do hope that your all staying home and safe too.
Hello comic collectors worldwide, Ok have I ever shared who my favorite four color character is, of course I know that I have more times than I can count..... yet even though I like you am a reader of many stories of horror, heroism, growth and always changing moments of tension between good and evil, even my love of science fiction can be thrown in for connecting all them which what I love about comic books. I even love popular cartoon characters like the Smurfs, Scooby Doo, Transformers in comic book form too. The world has impacted recently with a pandemic that has everyone being confined to being staying at home and having there be safe distancing between us for everyone's own sake of stopping the hopefulness of the conroviuris virus... Like most of you with wanting something to do in your down time is really nah on a great comic no matter what you like you are probably wanting the latest issue of whatever title you are getting in your pull box or pull list at your local comic book store...
Well like you I to have known that by the internet that today the company that you tell your comic store owners to order you your "WALKING DEAD!", "BATMAN", "AMAZING SPIDER-MAN", "SPAWN".... some these I personally get others are here to help prove my point that your favorite four color stories of the month are not going to be in your box... the reason why this is because the ordering company DIAMOND the guide to ordering not just Tee Shirts, games, models, but especially your weekly comics has decided for what ever reason as of the current time to just completely stop being the ordering guide for anyone's bit of having a great time of fun with your super heroes... Does this mean that companies that make our world's greatest monthly books of fantastic daring dos want to let you the comic reading public down?, the actual answer is NO! They want to keep their audiences full of experiences of awesome adventures of hope and love for those fictional characters. So I hope that you can find the right way of finding those experiences of excitment through reading back issues of your favorite characters. Or even better yet during these isolating times find a way to make it your mission of writing your own continuity for your own enjoyment.
As for myself I will admit that I know that I have a lot of gigantic back log of reading to get caught up on, so till those companies decide what to do with getting out there products for kids and collectors again find a way to show your support for your local comic shops by the internet at this current set of times.
Hello fellow movie fans and comic fans alike... As I am sure that you are aware that of recent postings over the last few months I have been putting together a set of comic book trade reviews of a certain BATMAN foe that has been around since the second BATMAN titled comic of the late mid nineteen forties. The character of which I am talking about was created by three men Bill Finger (w), Jerry Robinson (A), and Batman (creditor,owner, Robert Kane, better known to comic fans as Bob Kane) was the character seen here
known as the Joker. Which originally came from the old silent film design wise that starred Conrad Veidt as
"THE MAN WHO LAUGHS" from nineteen tweny eight. "But Holy Hollywood therapy theracties gone awry...Batman what's going on here?" as Robin the boy wonder actor Burt Ward would have phrased it, from the nineteen sixties "BATMAN television series..." we aren't talking about that version of Joker... We are going through last year's movie by Warner Bros pictures from director Todd Phillips that stars Robert De Niro and Joaquin Phoenix
as the Joker. Joker begins with Arthur Fleck a man who is trying to bring business to comedy club getting attacked by some street thugs and when comes back to claim his check for the week a coworker shows him his gun and gives it to Arthur to protect himself from said event ever happening again, only to have the club manager mad at him for losing the sign. We come to find out that Arthur is a struggling comedic artist who enterains at a local child hospital and let's his gun fall to the floor in the middle of his act, the hospital sends him off without paying for his services to the children ward and come to find out that the company he works for fires him for breaking the rules of no weapons on your person while at work. We see he resides with his mother while she is just ill. So all in all he seem to be a humbled man in his every day life, till on a ride home on the subway he defends himself with the gun when business men attack him. He kills them, then starts going to clubs to find new material to add to his notes.
When Arthur does break out into laughter he happens to get a lot more hysterical than others watching the proformance do. So much that even he is not understanding where it is coming from. He returns home an finds out that from his mother that he is the son of one Thomas Wayne who happens to be running for mayor of Gotham city. ( This and two other small parts of the story and film are related to BATMAN at all...) This film is definitely INCREDIBLE and FASCINATING because while it is giving a background to the most evil foe of Bruce Wayne's rouge gallery that has always been eloquently elusive in the comics. It tackles one of the greatest challenges most all of us as humans don't know how to relate to, or mainly care to choose to put helping the many who are infected with mental illnesses as being needing help from their social workers and caregivers who are needing to study every day because everyone has a different perspective with their given experiences. I am not saying that I have the answers anymore than you who are reading this review of a certain movie that truly tries to make an impression on while society on many ways tries to help those who are suffering from getting wrong medical attentions... and a lot of people don't know how to respond to why those who have those mental disorders can't find help. Why is it society itself doesn't think that those who are mentally ill are trying to learn how to live lives just like we who have every day problems are doing too? How can we say that giving up is not easy enough when we can have hope of helping others people Everywhere with our trust in our hands and hearts and in our Faithfulness in who we see as our GOD? Yet more than we want to admit our own beliefs at the same time have been a great way of getting to help those who really need it. For a moment try thinking of those who are in mental institutions, and remember this they are not there because they wish to be but because they are broken in the brain and it is impossible to know how to fix one that is suffering from mental health issues. Finally if you know someone who has a mental health illness iusses be with them in spirit!
Hello from the CLOWN PRINCE OF CRIME HIMSELF.... "So it has come to my very deranged attention that you have been trying to learn about me through my old dead foe at least I really want HIM to be in that position so very soon! Still I know that you and many others admire that floppy fool for always trying to catch yours truly.... as always I am very much like an eel and shock both of you to your bloodied cores.... So I will bid you farewell before you get lost in my bedeviling trade named after me so get on without me if you dare with JOKER seen here with my face on the cover
seen here. I will be seeing y'all for as the title of this blog says for my movie ta-ta till then!" Boy that was rather scary giving the opening prestation to a madman huh?, like he said let's not hold back in getting into his story that is by writer Brain Azzarello and artist Lee Bermejo. It came out originally when Christopher Nolan's second film of BATMAN'S twenty oh eight. "Oh wasn't Heath great as me, Mister Byrd...!"Still here are you JOKER?, I thought you had decided to do something fun while waiting to get into a debate about your own personal experience of watching your film with me very soon. "Just remember now that you are capable of being killed if I don't love this upcoming release of my book you have been warned sir!" As I was saying JOKER is part of Decetvice Comics Black Label imprint an has a low life thug named Jonny Frost seen here
waiting for our man of the hour to come walking out of the gates of Gotham's mental instainty intuition called ARKHAM ASYLUM.
The Joker and Frost set his plans in motion of reclaiming his strength on his old territories of crime throughout Gotham. We see that on top of being a wee bit crazy Joker is... "Teaming up with my pal Penguin is so rather cartoonish don't you know..." Mister J can I please continue, he is giving me the middle finger with a sly slime, so I think we are okay I hope! He is on the lookout for his foes mostly the BATMAN while he is also after a certain attorney known as Harvey Dent who has a beef with his latest protege Mister Frost. Jonny it seems isn't just a want be upcoming punk, he has a petty personal problem
with his ex wife... something called a divorce in the works. The more that Jonny is with Joker he sees.... "Tell them what happens to the Frosting bad boy..." Joker is blowing at his pointer finger, Well okay if you really want to leave the best part out, I just guess it will have to be as you want Joker! So the Joker proves that he really is insane by shooting Frosting boy while in a fight with the BATMAN then of course returning to ARKHAM! The art in this by Bermejo sets darkness all over each character like they are diseased with no hope of any cure whatsoever. Just like in BATMAN YEAR ONE but this time it is reversed that BATMAN is merely hinted at.... "Now whose the insane one now MATT?" As Joker walks away from the body he just left hanging in an ice house with a ice pick through the heat... he laughs a low gritty bit of air from his lungs. "Well I think I won't be surprised if you can see my new film after all"
BAT FANS, ( OR THE SIMPLE COMIC BOOK READERS and readers of this very blog) Have I Mister Matt Byrd ever gone into my whole history of knowing the history of BATMAN or his true self better known as Bruce Wayne... maybe in parts I have. Yet I do know that at the same time I have not as well...and still that will be a blog post for another time. For right now besides trying to decide when the latest film of his arc foe simply known as JOkER will be view by me is as I said last month in "As Promised,before heading to Adventures..." that I have two more comic trades to punch myself over the point of reading before seeing that movie. Here's the very two of which I am deducting in my edvicde files
must informed set of overall demanding detailed information on both case studies of said adversities... with that being said we are looking at the one on the far right. BATMAN YEAR ONE came out in nineteen eighty six after the company wide crossover event called "INFINITE CRISIS". Which Dectevicte Comics put out to do two things, which was to go head to head against Marvel's SCERET WARS twelve iusse miniseries at the time, and to finally separate the many decades of their heroes histories so that readers of their books could understand their favorite heroes in current times. The Genesis of this story was coming from the mind of Frank Miller whom had grand stuff over at Marvel with the lesser known character known as Daredevil. What does he know of BATMAN your wondering well... it just so happens that he wrote and drew BATMAN'S last story where the character of Bruce Wayne comes out of retirement simply called "THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS". He was more than excited to take on a new way of experiencing BATMAN'S origin, still this time around he only wanted to be the writer and was paired with David Mazzucchelli for the art chores of this project. Which was presented in single iusse form of the BATMAN comics # 404 through #407 with these as the covers of each part of
the single iusse format. As I said both Wayne and Gordon are besides not having directly met in this yarn but they will before all is complete... each has personal goals and objectives that they realize hope and fear of their honing their skills become the best of not just partners or somewhat friends they understand how very much each man is just an individual human being. There is something very surprising in this that Frank gave the reader that is a great twist on a certain other relative of BATMAN'S James Gordon character. I'm not going to spoil that surprise for anyone of you who may want to pick up this trade. As to how much does any of this really relate to the JOkER.... I will say since it's the beginning reimagining of an eigty year old set of characters he's only hinted at with Gordon waiting for his new friend on a rooftop....
So after my birthday I went looking at Best Buy with my brother Michael for options of a new Samsung tablet then had my younger sister Kylie order me a new one of a newer upgraded version through Best Buy's online store... the whole point of this post is that I had videos and pictures on that other Samsung device that I wanted to keep and I was going to go to Best Buy and have them help me with transferring said videos and images to the new tablet. When the conroviuris started getting all out crazy every where so every state started a safe distancing ourselves from each other and I will soon write about the world wide pandemic very soon... any how I can say that I almost forgot about having this SD memory card 
I went and instead of waiting for the worldwide problem to end I went and used one of the two of them to copy all of my pictures and videos to the card to use them on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 5e. Now I know that I feel like I have all of my memories in one place and I can't be any happier. Please promise me that you will all try and be positive and safe for the foreseeable future when dealing with each day of your life.
