Youcan either make an appointment online at the links below or at the Blood Drive booth in the Sails Pavilion. All donors will receive the free Deadpool/Wolverine T-shirt and other goodies (while supplies last), plus they have a chance to win one of the many special prizes donated to the Blood Bank by our exhibitors and staff. Prizes are on display at the Blood Drive booth.
OR YOU CAN DONATE ANYTIME BEFORE THE CONVENTION
Attendees, volunteers, and staff! Donate before the convention and ask for a certificate of donation. Tell them your donation is for Comic-Con and the group code is: CCON
For science fiction fans, few names were as stellar as Robert A. Heinlein. From Starship Troopers to Stranger in a Strange Land, Heinlein was the dean of SF writers. Unfortunately, he rarely attended conventions, so his readers had few opportunities to meet the master in person.
One cause that was of great importance to him was blood donation. Having a rare blood type himself (AB+), he was a frequent donor and a supporter of the National Rare Blood Club, which was an integral part of his novel I Will Fear No Evil. In 1976, at the 34th World Science Fiction Convention in Kansas City, he helped organize the first of many science fiction convention blood drives. In 1977, he did the same at the San Diego Comic-Con.
In 1981 we were among the first blood banks in the nation to formalize a designated donor program, which allows patients to select their donors. Our autologous donor program also was put into place more than 30 years ago for patients who wish to pre-deposit their blood for a planned surgery.
Los Tres Primos: A trio of "La Familia" cousins who have rebelled against their upbringing and strive to bring equality to the downtrodden people of the Empire. They move in secret using a stolen ship- piloted by another member of Skitters' unknown species.
The Continuum Of Makers: A race of highly-intelligent aliens who value their inventions (which they refer to as "spirits") above all else. As such, they have declared humanity guilty of "spirit-theft" for using the Ring Drive salvaged from one of their crashed ships.
The Vinn: A collection of alien races united by an artificial parasite that gives each Vinn a tattoo-like patch over one eye along with several other biological enhancements. Vinn are determined to spread across the universe as part of an ongoing search for "the Missing Gods" that led to their creation.
In January 2010, Patrick Johns, the author of the webcomic Stickfodder, posted the first of such renderings to his Flickr account[7] and, subsequently, to Dave Kellett's Sheldon Talk forums.[8] In response to the forum post, Dave Kellett encouraged other 3D artists to "take a crack at it."[9]
In May, 2010, visual effects student Dan Taubert created a 1-minute animation that features several Drive ships at a Denny's in the sky as well as the Emperor's ship and the Machito in space. Taubert published the progress of his DRIVE 3D Visualization project to his personal website, while he posted the final animation on Vimeo.[11][12]
In a review of Drive published on September 19, 2010, Jeff Kapalka of The Post-Standard newspaper out of Syracuse, New York, described the strip as having "taken ... time to set up [the] universe and populate it with a variety of interesting individuals. The story is serious. The characters are hilarious." He also praised Kellett in the crafting of this comic saying, "It's a fine wire he's walking. Telling a continued story at a rate of one page a week is almost a lost art. Making it funny while not being able to reference modern pop culture makes it even more difficult. Kellett succeeds at both."[14]
Mike Braff, a columnist for Del Rey Books' Suvudu site, published a review of Drive on January 30, 2011. He spoke highly concerning the thought and planning Kellett has put into the comic saying, "Unlike most webcomics, which seem to be made up on the fly, ... Drive definitely has a story to tell and I, for one, am excited to hear it." After giving a brief synopsis of the story, Mr. Braff went on to praise the workmanship of the narrative, indicating that "the ideas, themes, and environments presented in Drive are fantastic and make the universe feel very broad".[15]
I uploaded a few files (.cbz) to my comics folder on iCloud from my Mac and then launched Chunky Comic Reader on my iPad Mini 4, pointed it at the comics folder and picked up the comics. Everything worked fine.
Has anybody been able to solve this - I'm having a similiar problem. icloud drive on my ipad shows the Chunky Comic Rader folder - however it is not syncing anywhere else. I created my own Comics folder parallel to the CCR folder, it syncs fine. On the ipad I then try to move the comic from the folder I created to the CCR folder, but it does not appear in the list of folders to select (which has to be the worst UI I've seen on an ipad select page). If it helps, the CCR folder doesn't show up
icloud.com either, although all my other app related folders do (and the folders I create)
I switched over to Dropbox just to try and that works without any issues on all 3 devices - I just have a trial Dropbox account but I have a paid-up iCloud account that I'd rather use (obviously because I'm already paying for it!)
I then setup iCloud in the settings on both iPads and asked the comic viewer to use iCloud. Both were setup in an identical way - to be honest, there's not a lot of settings on the iPads for iCloud. You just turn it on and make sure that your app is using it!
All I'm trying to do is understand, for sure, what you did or didn't do. I keep saying iCloud Drive and you keep saying iCloud. I just want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. The setup guide says:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch has iOS 9, you can see your iCloud Drive files in the iCloud Drive app. You can show or hide the iCloud Drive app on your Home Screen. Go to Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive and tap the slider for Show on Home Screen to turn on or off.

Comics which visually explain health treatments and complex medical procedures can improve physical and mental health literacy and help people to keep taking their medications. They can also help alleviate anxiety in patients before surgery.
Health researchers believe that comics not only provide a more accessible medium for disseminating important public health information, but that readers can relate to and develop empathy for the comic characters. This can influence their perceptions of health risk. In turn, they may be inclined to imitate the behaviour of these characters (a concept called modelling) if the observed behaviour results in a favourable outcome.
The comic is intended to be used as an educational resource to convey some of the challenges that young people with type 1 diabetes experience. It also provides advice and tips to help young people with the condition deal with unhelpful content online.
Research has demonstrated the potential benefits of comics as communication tools in the areas of physical and mental health. But most of the existing evidence on comics is speculative, based on theoretical studies (where researchers observe and analyse the contents of the comic) and small qualitative studies.
We hope the Diabetes Cyberspace comic can be evaluated to explore its effectiveness as an educational resource and communication tool for young people with type 1 diabetes and their caregivers, and in turn go some way to filling this knowledge gap.
Comics have also been used to enhance learning about environmental issues. As with graphic medicine, the body of evidence exploring the capacity for ecological comics to influence environmental attitudes and behaviour is sparse.
But recently the use of an eco-comic in primary schools in east Africa demonstrated positive results. Questionnaires indicated the children had enhanced conservation knowledge immediately after and, again, one year after they were exposed to the comic.
The comic aims to raise awareness of the harmful impact of plastic waste and the importance of waste reduction and recycling through a fun yet emotive narrative. We envisage that the comic will be piloted in different educational settings to measure its potential impact on ecological literacy, attitudes and behaviour.
Since there are a lot of people who don't understand the sexual dynamics that are in play here both creatively and culturally, I'd like to dissect this a little bit and explain why these scenes don't support sexually liberated women; they undermine them, and why after nearly 20 years of reading superhero books, these may finally have been the comics that broke me.
