..."Conceived in a Hell Beyond Your Depth of Perception... Designed and Directed by His Red Right Hand."
...Seriously looking for a gray Sir Laser-Lot sword from the Final Wars weapon-pack!!
Whoa. Jitsu takes over for Skeletor during N/A? Crazy.
Chopper? Seriously? ToyGuru has always said that real names come from what they believe their mother's would have named them. Chopper is what you name the dog. It would honestly make more sense for his real name to be Jitsu and his nickname be Chopper. It's also mentioned how he's silent but deadly
View my collection and customs HERE!
I assume Chopper is from the name he was given early in the original toy's development, but your point is taken. I also noticed the Silent but Deadly.
I believe Chopper is his old Filmation name from when he was used in the cartoon, but was still in the production process at Mattel.
Basicly same thing that happenned with Tung/Tung Lash/Tung Lashor an his appearance in filmation an his eventual toy form.

Real name: Chopper- lame even if it is to meant to reflect nostalgia. Jitsu taking over Snake Mountain I like. Jitsu always seemed like one of the baddest mofos. I can hardly wait for him.
Hm.. I wish I could be positive about this one as I don't like to criticise the bio's and stuff but I really don't like this one.
This would have been better, not sure who wrote this though.
If there is one thing the dreaded Skeletor relishes more than defeating his enemies, it is enslaving them. No one of his warriors knows this better than the man known as Jitsu! Once a ruler of a peaceful society in the far east, Skeletor's armies decimated his people after he would not craft weapons for the dark armies. Anxious to demean his peaceful legacy, Skeletor fused the man with an ancient artifact called the Dragon's Claw, a massive gauntlet that possesses its wearer and is capable of splitting stone. As Eternians flee in terror from his bloody campaign, little do they know a lost soul watches in terror and sadness through the general's blood red eyes!
Take a look at my deviantart. http://kaassouffle.deviantart.com/gallery/
I don't mind the name, at least it relates to him in some way. Most of the names are sort of kitchy. That's what makes it fun. I try not to take that part too seriously. It's interesting that Jitsu sounds redeemable, might be a fun partner for Fisto!
Well, I kind of like the bio. The name nod is cool, and the story of Jitsu taking over Snake Mountain must only mean that Tri-Klops goes with Skeletor...
As usual the name is fine by me.
Overall the bio gives him his due, and adds a sense of importance to an early motu character who almost didn't exist outside of toy form.
I'm okay with either bio, but I like that they've upgraded him to boss man in Skeletor's absence. The Battle of Gretori Bridge? That's not on the map!! Interesting also that he's not an Eternian.
I like the nod to the original name, but for some reason or another it makes me think of "Hassan Chop!" from Looney Tunes.
Be sure to read Book of Evil Part 2: The Bells of Doom, only in the He-Man.org Fan Fic & Media forums!
That's a fun bio! And I'm sure there will be TONS of backlash with Jitsu taking over Snake Mountain, and yeah, there could very well be characters that would have made more sense to do that, it is fun to give a more meaty story to this character that has almost none, but who is still very cool and loved by fans.

I quite like the Bio-but I do wonder...I guess ol' Chopper didn't lose his hand until after Malcom became Fisto. I don't know why but I figured that would've happened during the Great Unrest.

See I always loved the Anwat Gar that GBAGOK and Iceman went for. Love that Jitsu takes over. As for the name, Chopper sounds more like an alias and Jitsu his real name, but I ignore them, like we can so there you go. Its a nice homage to Filmation and I do like that Fisto is his official nemesis now.

Jitsu - Evil Master of Martial Arts
Real Name: Chopper
An intergalactic bandit, Jitsu was broken out of Prison Starr by Keldor during the Great Unrest. In gratitude, he agreed to serve the Evil Lord of Destruction and stayed with him even after Keldor's transformation into Skeletor. As a master of several forms of martial arts, Jitsu was often on the frontline in battle against Randor and his Masters. During the Battle for Gretori Bridge, he was wounded by his archenemy Fisto and had his hand replaced with a golden robotic implant by Tri-Klops. After Skeletor left Eternia for the stars, Jitsu took over Snake Mountain, ruling it with an iron fist. As deadly as he is silent, Jitsu uses his chopping power to get his evil way!

Hi! I have made some Sandwich World fan art, and I was wondering how I'm supposed to send it in. So, my question is: How do I send in Sandwich World fan art?
BTW, it's a picture of the safe saying yes. I was going to do a picture of ted looking all scary and demoinic but I'm not really talented enough to draw anything as complex as that. Instead, my trusty minion, MS Paint!
OOh, I can attatch an attatchment! here it is!


text: Jujutsu is the combat oriented version of jujitsu. Jujitsu literally translates as gentle technique. This is because it does not require great strength but does require knowledge of leverage and joint manipulation (locking). While it does not require great strength on the part of the defender, it can be devastating to an attacker. The joint locks are usually painful to the attacker and the throws can be very effective. Chokes are also taught to control the attacker. Jujutsu is taught as part of all advanced adult classes at the Richmond School of Karate. The style of jujutsu used is based on a Japanese system which emphasizes stand up techniques. While some ground fighting techniques are taught they are not emphasized as heavily as they are in Brazilian Jujitsu. This is because grappling with an opponent on the ground is not practical on the street. Students are taught to strike groin and eyes, etc. if on the ground and to get back to a standing position as quickly as possible. This is especially important if multiple attackers are involved.

Just got off the phone with a source close to LinkedIn.
LinkedIn is not going to buy Monster, and it was never particularly interested in doing so.
Basically, a little while back, Monster's Bank of America bankers called LinkedIn and asked if LinkedIn execs would do a "courtesy call."
They said something like, "Hey can you give us a call so we can talk about this possible opportunity?" and LinkedIn execs said, "OK, we'll listen."
LinkedIn didn't have much interest after that, but BofA offered what's called a "teaser," which is basically a preview of the more complete "book" bankers put together on a company they are trying to sell.
LinkedIn passed.
Now, our source believes, someone at BofA or Monster is placing stories saying LinkedIn is interested in buying Monster, hoping to drum up interest.

Collegium Zieleński/Stanisław Galoński
rec. Church of St Mary of Fatima, Kraków, Poland, 4-22 July 2011.
'Opera Omnia' in the case of Polish composer Mikołaj Zieleński means only two known works, but they are colossal. So huge, in fact, that each has been recorded by Dux across three CDs. All six discs are available in a recently-released box-set package, but initially - and rather strangely, it must be said - each volume was issued separately. The first three, Collegium Zieleński's recording of the Offertoria Totius Anni, appeared between 2009 and 2011. They are reviewed here. The final trio, the Communiones Totius Anni, came out between 2011 and 2012, roughly in time to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the publication of what is said to be Polish music's first work in the Baroque style. Very little is known about Zieleński himself, not even a birth date - some sources give around 1550, but there seems to be little if any reliable evidence for this. He is chiefly known from the publication in 1611 in Venice of these two separate cycles for the church year, both dedicated to Wojciech Baranowski, Archbishop of Gniezno and primate of Poland.
Now would seem the best time to consider acquisition of these recordings, with the project complete and qualitative integrity quantifiable. Appropriately, the Offertoria cycle has much to offer, although some may perhaps waver over the 'inauthentically' large choirs and differentially-sized groupings within them.
Volume 4 features - rather incongruously, in retrospect - the dulcet voices of Emma Kirkby and Joel Frederiksen, no less. This was Kirkby's only appearance in the project (almost - see below), presumably finding her diary too busy for a return visit, but her presence, though minimal, is something of a coup for Dux, and along with Frederiksen bound to draw interest to the collection.
Unfortunately, despite Kirkby's attendance, the quality of music-making on this particular disc, recorded a year before the last two, is a step down from the rest. Much of the music here features a soloist (sometimes duet) with simple organ accompaniment. Alas, tenor Zygmunt Magiera for one sounds strained or even out of his depth, even if he only appears on two tracks. Kirkby, it must also be said, is no longer in her prime. Fine baritone Łukasz Motkowicz does what he can in the circumstances - though his presence is also minimal. That leaves acclaimed bass Frederiksen as the main attraction, and on the whole he makes a good job of what is really an unforgiving role, yet like Kirkby, he does have his own idiosyncratic and at times inconsistent (or at best 'European') ideas about how to sing Latin. 'Kvey' for 'quae', 'tselli' for 'caeli' and 'z' for intervocalic 's', for example, are likely to grate on puristically-inclined listeners.
All is not lost, however: volumes 5 and particularly 6 represent significant improvements. There are no more solos as such, with many of the items now sung by trios or, on the last disc especially, full, though still oddly balanced, choir. There are still a few weaknesses apparent in the singing - minor enunciation, timing, intonation and pronunciation issues - but they are relatively insignificant, with voices combining satisfactorily overall. Either of these two discs, in fact, would give a level of value for money that is not available to anyone forking out for the opera omnia - re-recording the below-par volume 4 would go a long way towards rectifying matters.
Dux's engineering is good - better, indeed, than on the Offertoria discs, as the reverberation has been toned down and the long gaps between tracks reduced to more sensible levels. Kraków's Church of St Mary of Fatima has been used to record all six volumes. Accompanying colour-coordinated booklets give the original Latin texts with Polish and English translations. There are detailed biographies of Zieleński and performers, with small, 'Communist-style' black and white photos. Polish notes on the music are printed in a dense, pro forma typeface. Once again, presumably to save a few euros, the notes are given a rather shaky translation by a non-native - who in addition seems sometimes only loosely familiar with the rules of punctuation - making Galoński's arguments quite hard to follow. Now and then the results are borderline gibberish: "Why then he put texts under their parties?" ... "Did he want to prevent a performing wilfulness of not sophisticated musicians?" There is, incidentally, a slight numbering discrepancy, as the track-listing below shows - there is no item no.24, lost presumably to a misprint between volumes 4 and 5.
As with the Offertoria, then, these are discs that will appeal almost exclusively to collectors of the period or of Polish music. They should be reasonably pleased with veteran conductor Stanisław Galoński's labour of love, though all should think hard about parting with good money for volume 4. Alternatively, Dux recorded a single 'highlights' disc in 2008, perhaps to test the water, with Emma Kirkby the only soloist - see review.

Sam Houston St. holds off E. Washington, advances to FCS title game
CHENEY, Wash. (AP) — A slow start to the season made a return trip to the Football Championship Subdivision championship game seem unlikely for Sam Houston State.
A slow finish to Saturday evening's semi-final game against Eastern Washington almost derailed the Bearkats' unlikely dream run.
Quarterback Brian Bell ran for two touchdowns and threw for another and Sam Houston State raced to a 35-0 halftime lead but barely held on to beat the second-seeded Eagles 45-42.
FCS SEMIS:North Dakota St. advances to title game
The Bearkats (11-3) face top-seeded and defending champion North Dakota State, which won last year's matchup 17-16 on Jan. 5 in Frisco, Texas.
"When we were 1-2 at the beginning of the season I don't think there were very many people that thought we were going to get back," a relieved Sam Houston State coach Willie Fritz said.
The win over Eastern Washington (11-3) was the Bearkats' third in a row against a Big Sky Conference team in the playoffs this year and fifth straight in the past two years.
"I want to give a ton of credit to (Eastern Washington)," Fritz said. "Most teams would have folded shop when they were down 35-0 in the first half and kicking off to us in the second half. Those guys really did a sensational job in the second half."
After the Bearkats dominated the first half, Eastern Washington backup quarterback Vernon Adams tied a school record with six touchdown passes in seven possessions to pull the Eagles within a field goal with 3:02 to play.
However, behind Tim Flanders, who rushed for 231 yards, Sam Houston State was able to run out the clock. The Bearkats had 503 yards of offense, 418 of which came on the ground.
"We were clearly hitting on all cylinders offensively and playing real well defensively," Fritz said of the first half. "When a team doesn't have a lot of time to work on the triple option it's hard."
Eastern had 523 yards, 481 in the air. Adams finished by completing 14 of 26 attempts for 364 yards. Brandon Kaufman had nine receptions for 215 yards and three touchdowns, the first 200-yard game for the junior All-American but his 19th 100-yard game.
Kaufman, who had only two catches for 15 yards in the first half, set the FCS record for single-season yardage on his second touchdown. He went past the 1,712-yard record set by Eddie Conti of Delaware in 1998.
Kaufman finishes the season with 93 receptions for 1,850 yards and 16 touchdowns.
"It was obviously a tale of two halves," Eastern Washington coach Beau Baldwin said. "Hats off to Sam Houston. You know us, we're not into moral victories. I'm just real proud of our guys for fighting back...to have a shot to win the game when I'm sure no one expected that."
After Adams' fourth touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter, Bell engineered a five-play, 86-yard drive, completing three passes for 38 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown to Shane Young.
Through three quarters Sam Houston State quarterbacks were 5 of 9 for 32 yards.
"We got a little too stagnant, a little too conservative.we had to open it again," Fritz said. "Quite a few times (it felt like we lost momentum). We probably should have been more aggressive."
Adams responded with a 4-play, 78-yard drive in 61 seconds to make it 42-35 on a 7-yard pass to Nicholas Edwards with 9:48 to play. The Bearkats got a 42-yard field goal from Miguel Antonio but after Adams was intercepted, the Eastern Washington defense held and Adams threw his sixth touchdown, a 33-yarder that Kaufman took away from a defensive back in the end zone.
Bell had touchdowns of 6 and 72 yards sandwiched around a 37-yard interception return by Robert Shaw. Keshawn Hill added a 15-yard run and wide receiver Richard Sincere, playing quarterback in a wildcat formation, scored on a 6-yard run in the first half.
Until Adams had scrambles of 11 and 7 yards late in the first half, Eastern Washington had negative 1-yard rushing. Meanwhile, the Bearkats piled up 285 yards, led by Flanders with 116.
The Eagles had 155 yards through the air but in addition to the interception return, Shaw picked off Adams at the goal line late in the second quarter.
Adams threw three touchdowns in the third quarter, connecting with Greg Herd for 31 yards early and Kaufman for 22 late, followed by a 43-yarder to Ashton Clark after a successful on-side kick. He made it four possessions in a row with a 43-yarder to Kaufman two minutes into the fourth quarter.
The only other time these two teams played was in the 2004 playoffs in Cheney when the Bearkats rallied from 20 points down with 10 minutes to play to beat Eastern 35-34 with a touchdown and extra point on the last play of the game.
They start a home-and-home regular-season series next season in Huntsville, Texas.

Clinical depression's prevalence is on the rise in the United States. At any given time, around 15 percent of American adults take antidepressants, and up to 25 percent will meet the criteria for a depression diagnosis at some point in their lifetime. Though the reasons behind a depression diagnosis are often complex, the church has a prime opportunity to address those complex needs.

Can a People's Movement Ground U.S. Drones?
In her latest book, Medea Benjamin, peace activist and co-founder of Code Pink, offers a critical guide to the dramatic increase since 2001 in the U.S. military's use of hunter/killer drones. She also covers effective strategies for resisting this disturbing shift in modern warfare.
Under President Obama, who Benjamin calls the "peace candidate turned war president," the military has shifted strategies "from boots on the ground to assassins in the air." Drones have delivered bombs in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, and Yemen—often killing civilians and inflaming hatred against the United States.
Drone Warfare lifts the curtain on the proliferation of models of killer hardware and the arms manufacturers who profit from them: General Atomics, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and AeroVironment. It also calls out the domestic law enforcement agencies already monitoring citizens with drones.
The proliferation of drones is backed by powerful forces. But Benjamin inspires with her description of a global movement to ground the drones. "More and more, people of conscience are calling for international guidelines to curb robotic warfare, as the world community has done in the case of land mines and cluster bombs," she writes. She describes protests from Nevada to New York that make it difficult for the military and arms manufacturers to conduct business as usual under the radar of public awareness.
After years in which drone warfare was underreported, Benjamin is one of several authors who are looking into the subject. But her perspective as a peace activist is unique. Some journalists reporting on military robots and drones seem almost intoxicated by the new technology. For Benjamin, killing by remote control is no game.
"With the U.S. military now using thousands of drones and the FAA opening domestic skies to drones, the conversation is long overdue," she writes. Drone Warfare contributes to making that conversation better informed and anti-drone activism more effective.

The employment outlook for new grads is sunny—without being what you'd call exactly blinding.
So say companies that responded to a spring survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), who reported they will increase their hiring of new college grads this year. Overall, an increase of slightly more than 2 percent is forecast, according to NACE. More than a third of respondents, however, said they planned to cut back hiring.
The slight increase represents a significant drop from what employers had projected in the fall of 2012, the last time NACE issued its Job Outlook report. At that time respondents said they expected to hire 13 percent more new grads from the class of 2013 than they hired from the class of 2012.
Marilyn Mackes, executive director of NACE, says the revised projection is consistent with the latest job reports for the economy overall, which show less growth than anticipated.
Andrea Koncz, NACE's employment information manager, tells ABC News that of NACE's 1,000 employer members, only about 20 percent to 25 percent respond to any given survey. Furthermore, the set of employers who responded to the spring survey is not identical to the set who responded in the fall. NACE's purpose, she says, is simply to get "a general idea of the college job market."
Employers, she tells ABC, "are more cautious right now, based on the overall economy. That's as true for adult hiring as it is for new grads."
She says current grads and those who will be graduating next year should be encouraged by employers' recruiting plans. NACE asked employers how sure or unsure they were of their plans. "We see more respondents saying that their plans are firm," Koncz says. "We take that as a positive. It's good news for this year's grads and for next year's."
Asked what majors employers most want to hire—and what qualities they most esteem in applicants—employers have remained consistent since the fall, says Koncz. The following are the degrees and majors in highest demand, followed, in parenthesis, by the percent of total respondents saying they will hire from each discipline:
Business (66.3) Engineering (63.3) Computer Sciences (51.5) Accounting (51.0) Economics (23.0)
Of the 13 academic disciplines listed in the survey, the humanities come in 10th (11.7 percent). Health Sciences come in last (3.1 percent).
Employers, asked what skills and qualities they most are looking for, rated the ability to communicate verbally as #1. Of nine qualities listed, seven fall into the "very to extremely important" range. The numerical ratings below represent a weighted average on a 5-point scale, where 1 is "not at all important" and 5 is "extremely important":
Ability to communicate verbally with persons inside and outside the organization (4.5) Ability to make decision and solve problems (4.5) Ability to obtain and process information (4.5) Ability to plan, organize, and prioritize work (4.5) Ability to analyze quantitative data (4.2) Technical knowledge related to the job (4.1) Proficiency with computer software programs (4.1) Ability to create and /or edit written reports (3.6) Ability to sell or influence others (3.4)

LivingSocial, the daily-deals company, has debunked an explosive but apparently wholly erroneous report that the company raised debt instead of equity in its latest $110 million financing.
LivingSocial CEO Tim O'Shaughnessy revealed that the new investment represents 7.5% of the company, valuing the whole enterprise at a little less than $1.5 billion.
But in the process, the company has highlighted that there are still mysteries swirling around the exact terms of its latest investment.
The company filed new articles of incorporation in Delaware that clearly show that it issued equity, not debt.
When a company incorporated in Delaware issues shares to investors, it has to revise its articles of incorporation spelling out the terms.
Except that's not quite what happened here.
LivingSocial has raised a lot of money over the years—a total of $918 million, including this latest round. Every round involves the creation of a new class of preferred shares distinguished by letter, which now range from Series A to Series G.
Dan Primack at Fortune reports that the Series G investors include Revolution, the investment vehicle created by former AOL CEO Steve Case, and Amazon, both of which previously invested in LivingSocial.
Other investors, like Lightspeed Venture Partners and T. Rowe Price, declined to invest.
"We are early stage investors and this is a later stage round," Lightspeed partner Jeremy Liew told us. "When valuations get high we often step back or sit out as we bought our ownership early, across many companies in the portfolio. It's a good financing for the company and we are very happy about it as shareholders."
The Series G investors have a number of privileges not uncommon to venture investments, like the right to name a director to LivingSocial's board.
As with other venture-capital investments, the preferred shares accumulate dividends—essentially increasing the percentage of the company they will own in the event of a sale or public offering. Those are set at the rate of 3 percent.
But there is one big unknown: the price at which Series G preferred shares convert to common shares.
That is calculated using a figure LivingSocial's articles of incorporation calls the "Stated Value Elimination Amount." And that amount is spelled out in a separate document, the Terms Agreement, which is not included in the articles of incorporation.
In most corporate documents we've seen, that's set at a specific price. And so it is for the other classes of preferred shares LivingSocial issued.
We're still digging into the document. But it's clear that without the Terms Agreement—which LivingSocial and its investors haven't disclosed, and which, unlike the articles of incorporation, they don't have to disclose—it's very hard to pin down the price LivingSocial paid for its new cash.
We raised these issues with a spokesperson for LivingSocial who said he couldn't address them on the record.
Here are the articles of incorporation:

STOCKTON, Calif. – The UCSB swim teams collected a pair of dual meet wins on Friday afternoon at Pacific. The women captured a 153-109 win while the men defeated the Tigers, 158-100.
The men's 'A' 200 medley relay got the ball rolling for the Gauchos as Ryan Garcia, Kevin Ferguson,Wade Allen and Kevin Kuhn finished in 1:32.80, good for a comfortable first place finish.
UCSB then went on to sweep the 1000 freestyle with Andrea Ward capturing first in a time of 10:21.42 and Andrew Barmann winning in 9:35.01. Ward won her second individual event of the day in the 100 butterfly with a time of 55.19 seconds.
Garrett Thompson continued his dominance in the 200 freestyle, touching first in a time of 1:39.19, which just beat out teammate Chris Peterson (1:39.92). The Gauchos had the top-four finishes in the event with Andrew Dossa (1:43.24) and Alexander Campbell (1:43.37) finishing in third and fourth, respectively.
Sophia Yamauchi won the women's 100 backstroke in 56.63 seconds, which was followed by Kevin Ferguson's win on the men's side in 51.89 seconds.
Katie Records proceeded to record the first of her two individual wins in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:04.76. She narrowly beat out Pacific's Mallory McGowan by .09 seconds. The freshman won the 200 breaststroke later in the meet in a time of 2:19.59.
In the 200 butterfly, Allie Knight (2:04.96) and Bob Hwang (1:54.41) collected consecutive Gaucho wins, as did Kendall Neely (23.84) and Ferguson (20.86) in the 50 free.
The Gaucho men dominated the 100 freestyle with Campbell (46.97), Lucas Norman (47.04) andSteven Ewoldt (47.50) sweeping first through third place, respectively.
Continuing to show her versatility, Yamauchi – who usually specializes in breaststroke and the individual medley – won the 500 free in a time of 5:00.73.
UCSB rounded out the individual events with a pair of victories in the 400 IM. Knight grabbed her second win of the day, touching the wall in 4:33.20 while Garcia won the men's event in 4:02.76.
The women's 'A' 200 free relay consisting of Neely, Sasza Lohrey, Yamauchi and Anne Peanasky concluded the meet with a victory, finishing in 1:35.89. The men's 'A' team followed suit with Allen, Thompson, Ferguson and Campbell touching the wall in 1:22.88.
With the wins, the UCSB men improve their record to 5-0 while the women are now 4-3 in duals.
The Gaucho women will face UC Davis tomorrow in a dual against their Mountain Pacific Sports Federation foe scheduled for an 11 a.m. start at the Aggies' Schaal Aquatics Center.

Moyer not his best last night
Found this funny video on Youtube, a baseball in a blender
There will come a time when Jamie Moyer retires, hopefully Jamie will know when he is finished and not cause a team to say it to him. Last night's game against the Mets certainly seemed to be an indication that the end may be closer than one thinks. I remember the Rolling Stones song, "This may be the last time, I don't know." Jamie Moyer has done more than most pitchers can ever dream of, he's one of the best players to ever wear a Phillies uniform. One of the best, not really in stats but as a quality human being. A guy that goes out and signs autographs before games, a guy that has a terrific charity that he donates time and money to, and an overall great person. He won't leave baseball after his pitching days are done. He is undoubted more than qualified to be a pitching coach on a major league team if he chooses to after he retires from pitching.
Last night, Jamie Moyer pitched one of 'those' games. Those type of games that you don't want to see by a pitcher that is even close to Jamie's age. I remember last year in the playoffs, against the Dodgers, Jamie turned in just a horrible game then and I started to think, is this the 'last time'. The Phillies had such a great two game series in St. Louis and then on to New York, the tide has changed. Jamie was just able to pitch 2.1 innings giving up 7 hits and 7 runs with 2 walks and 3 homeruns. I know Jamie will know when he's had enough. Just like Mike Schmidt decided one day, "I'm done," and he just retired because he knew he could no longer continue.
Jamie Moyer will get his 250th win that is no doubt, he will have other starts and go on to win more games for the Phillies this year. That is what he knows how to do. He will also know when he no longer wants to suit up for a game, when he has thrown his last pitch, and when to leave on his own terms.

Chapman Pincher was ballyhooed by his own newspaper, The London Daily Express, as the world's greatest reporter, and he introduced himself as such. He insinuated himself into the murky world of spy chiefs, generals, politicians and royalty by taking them to lunch at a fine French restaurant, say, or joining them for pheasant hunting and salmon fishing.
His reward was 40 years of scoops about double agents, secret weapons and the inner workings of governments. In 1966, not bothering to wait four more years, his paper called him its reporter of the decade. His best tributes came perhaps from his enemies.
"Can nothing be done to suppress or get rid of Pincher?" Prime Minister Harold Macmillan wrote to his defense minister in 1959.
Mr. Pincher said he wondered exactly what "get rid of" meant — particularly in the netherworld of spies that he prowled. But there could be no doubt what the British historian E. P. Thompson meant when he wrote about Mr. Pincher in The New Statesman in 1978. Mr. Thompson, using the names of the British domestic and international spy agencies, likened Mr. Pincher to "a kind of official urinal where high officials of MI5 and MI6 stand side by side patiently leaking" — presumably secrets.
Mr. Pincher, who died at 100 on Tuesday at his home in Kintbury, England, considered Mr. Thompson's insult his greatest professional compliment.
In announcing his death, his son, Michael, recalled the message that Mr. Pincher had asked to be conveyed: "Tell them no more scoops."
In one of his many scoops, he learned precious details about the atomic bomb before any American newspaper did after the United States dropped one on Hiroshima in 1945. He documented the treachery of the theoretical physicist Klaus Fuchs, who gave Moscow information about the hydrogen bomb he had helped develop. He broke news about the Cambridge Five, the British intelligence officers who spied for Russia in the 1940s and '50s.
In 1961, Mr. Pincher detailed how George Blake, an MI6 operative, had betrayed 40 or so agents to the Soviets. In 1964, he scooped other English newspapers and Pravda, the official Soviet paper, on the exchange of Greville Wynne, a British businessman jailed as a spy in Russia, for the Soviet spy who called himself Gordon Lonsdale.
In 1967, he reported that British intelligence was reading the cables and telegrams of private citizens. His revelation in 1971 that chauffeurs, gardeners and others working at the Soviet Embassy in London were actually spies resulted in the expulsion of more than 100 of them from Britain.
Of his more than 30 books, his most influential was "Their Trade Is Treachery" (1981), in which he made the case that Roger Hollis, a former director general of MI5, was a Soviet spy. Several investigations, including one commissioned by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, could not find enough evidence to make the accusation stick.
Mr. Pincher did it all his own way. He said he never took notes, so as not to interrupt the flow of conversation. He had an unimpeachable memory, he said. He tried never to see or touch a classified document, relying instead on the summaries of people he trusted.
If sources wanted him to delay printing an article, he usually agreed — knowing he would be first in line if they changed their minds. He more than once wrote a phony story at the behest of the British government.
In its obituary on Wednesday, The Guardian reported that in the 1950s the government was worried that Japanese protesters would try to disrupt a planned nuclear test on Christmas Island by showing up in 1,000 boats. Mr. Pincher printed the lie that the test was being postponed. It went ahead with no hitches.
"Few endeavors," The Guardian quoted him as saying, "gave me more delight."
Lord Mountbatten, the naval leader and last viceroy of India, once dictated an article to Mr. Pincher in the back of his Land Rover while on a grouse shoot, according to The Independent. The article appeared under Mr. Pincher's byline.
Once, when asked if he felt used, Mr. Pincher answered: "Absolutely! But my motto was, if the story is new, and particularly if it's exclusive, I'm open for use any day."
Henry Chapman Pincher was born on March 29, 1914, in a field hospital tent in Ambala, India, where his father was a major in the British Army. After the family returned to England, his father ran a sweet shop and later a pub.
Henry, known as Harry, graduated from King's College London with a degree in botany and zoology. He taught science at a high school in Liverpool and wrote articles for farm publications.
Drafted into the British Army, he was assigned to a division working on new rocket weapons. Through a chance meeting with an old acquaintance who worked for The Daily Express, he began feeding information on these projects to the newspaper. He made friends with a leading defense scientist, who introduced him to other scientists and military leaders in what Mr. Pincher called "the charmed circle."
Offered a job at The Express, he quickly advanced to the position of defense, science and medical editor. He wrote in a memoir, "Chapman Pincher: Dangerous to Know," published in February, that an Express editor chose his middle and last names for his byline because he thought it sounded "pompous."
That may have helped cement his chummy relationships with sources far richer and more aristocratic than he — although by his lights it was his hunting pheasant with them across autumn fields, shotguns at the ready, that did the trick. When pursuing game, he told The Guardian, "your guard's all gone, you're pals, having a difficult day with the birds or a good one."
Mr. Pincher is survived by his wife, Constance Sylvia Wolstenholme, who is known as Billee; a daughter, Patricia Chapman Pincher, and a son, Michael, both from a previous marriage; three stepchildren and a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Mr. Pincher liked to recall the days when he would retreat to a corner of his favorite London restaurant with a source and collect sometimes momentous information over a bottle of good wine.
"I'm just thinking of coming out of L'Ecu after a nice lunch, walking back to Fleet Street in the sunshine and feeling great, knowing that I'd got two bloody scoops that nobody could touch and they were bound to lead the paper," he told The Guardian. "Oh, it was wonderful, quite wonderful."

I am a very satisfied user of Deja Office. However, I miss some features I had on my old Nokia/Symbian phone. That is:
1. On deleting a recurring appointment, the possibility to delete this occurence and all older ones.
2. The possibility to enter a name field in the subject field of Calender from Contacts by pressing a button which shows a list of contacts.
3. The possibility to enter a 'Reminder', i.e. an appointment with the same beginning- and ending time. I tried this but by using the appointment it does not work correctly.

Photographer's Note
No,this is not a cruise but a four-story hotel.Its main entrance is on the right.
The waterfront of Seattle,Belltown,has about 100 piers one of them was known as pier 67 during World War II and in our days known as Edgewater.
The Edgewater
The Edgewater (formerly the Edgewater Inn and, briefly when first constructed, the Camelot) is a four-story, 223-room hotel in Seattle, Washington, United States. It is located on the Central Waterfront on a pier over Elliott Bay (a bay of Puget Sound) and is the only over-water, and water-front hotel in the Seattle area. Shortly after it was built, shoreline zoning changes precluded the construction of further hotels on piers.In its early years, the hotel advertised on its north elevation that you could "fish from your room."
The hotel is particularly famous for hosting The Beatles when they visited Seattle in 1964 at the height of Beatlemania.Because of the Beatles' connection to the hotel, there is a Beatles-themed suite and the hotel has hosted several Beatles-related events and tributes in recent years.Other famous guests have included Led Zeppelin (who were banned from the hotel after their second infamous stay there,the Rolling Stones,Frank Zappa,and U.S. president Bill Clinton. However,Robert Plant was welcomed back to the hotel during his recent concert in Seattle. The Edgewater is also a filming location in the 1992 season 3 episode "It Happened in Juneau" of Northern Exposure.
The hotel sits on the site of the onetime Galbraith-Bacon Pier, renamed Pier 67 during World War II. It also incorporates part of the area of the former Pier 68 (the Booth Fisheries Pier). Both old piers were demolished to build the hotel. The hotel was originally intended to open in time for the Century 21 Exposition, Seattle's 1962 world's fair. Originally named the Camelot, it soon became the Edgewater Inn (more recently, just The Edgewater).

Hello Danos,
Nice view of the hotel on wharf presented over here. Very aptly named both photo and the hotel. Good POV chosen to show the facade of the hotel. The mountain in the distance acts as an attractive focal point. Thanks for the sharing this unique place.

Klaispera Danos,
Good POV from an askewed angle over this hotel, I can only imagine how it feels to wake up in mornings and look out over to the sea.
Fine clear view on, mountains on far side of the bay exquisitely shown.
Best regards,

Καλησπέρα Δάνο,
πολύ ελκυστική η προοπτική της σύνθεσής σου καθώς και ο τρόπος που παίζει με την αντίληψη του θεατή σχετικά με το μήκος της αποβάθρας και του ξενοδοχείου. Μου αρέσει πολύ η διαρκής εναλλαγή και επαναληψη μοτίβων που εντείνουν τη δυναμική. Το ήρεμο φόντο προσφέρει πολύ καλή αντίθεση. Πραγματικά απολαυστικό το φως και τα χρώματα. Μου αρέσουν επίσης πολύ η υφή της θάλασσας και οι αντανακλάσεις. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καλό σου βράδυ,

Hello Danos,
very nice memory shot from your trip to the USA.

Someone had great idea for unique hotel.
I like also your presentation-the POV and angle are superb to capture and convey the Hotel and its uniqueness.
Have a nice evening

Hi Danos,
the guests at this hotel have an excellent seaview from their rooms, it is also fun to have a room on a pier. Nice perspective with the mountains visible in the background, perfect clarity, sharpness and colors!
Have a nice evening/

Hi Danos,
Very well frames the Edgewater.
The colors, sharpness and reflection very well framed.
Best regards,
pierrefonds (93027) 2014-01-15 13:10
Hi Danos,
The distance between the hotel and the mountains is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and the colours of the architecture of the hotel. The good luminosity is enhancing the colours. Have a nice day.
mcmtanyel (53975) 2014-01-15 13:26
Hello Danos,
A well-considered POV emphasizing the repeating patterns of the side of the hotel, its reflection on the water makes this a lovely photo. I'll have to scold you, though. Why did you write graffiti on the side of the pier? It's your name, you must have written it. I hope you used sidewalk chalk and not paint.
Alco (7559) 2014-01-15 19:06
Hello Danos,
Very nice point of view on that hotel.I like the inclusion of the mountains in the background.Great sharpness.Your note is very interesting.Very well done.
Have a nice day.
kato (11630) 2014-01-15 20:18
Hi Danos,
You're capturing well this place by a good angle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the tasteful four-story hotel whis is built in pier faced to the calm bay. It also looks like functional hotel. And, it's interesting to hear that guests can do the fishing from their room. It's a good view for mountain seen in the distance. And, the reflection projected to the water draws out an additional good effect.
Kind regards,
Corry (4508) 2014-01-15 20:42
Bonsoir Danos

Hello Danos,
I like the oblique line of the hotel that leads the eye to the snow covered mountain. The good light enhances the colors and give good details of the architecture of this hotel.
Best regards
abmdsudi (81390) 2014-01-16 5:43
Hi Danos
A pleasing simple shot with the emphasis is given to imposing structures and colourfully bright. You are obviously attracted to blue water as much as i do boosting the overall impact of the waterfront. Clarity is subtle in vivid details as is the composition and pov. Well done, TFS
Best regards
Miguel82 (35114) 2014-01-16 7:35
Hello Danos, from outside I don't think that hotel deserve the rank of 4 stars, anyway a brillant picture with high sharpness as usual and a volcano I guess in the bg with some snow on the summit, good light, thanks, see you
No_One (4) 2014-01-16 8:42
Hi Danos,
What a strange and unique building! It really does look like a cruise ship, so a brilliant design considering its place on the landscape! I love the view deep down to the mountains across the water and all under such a beautiful sky and light!
A really fascinating post!
All the best
jmdias (91326) 2014-01-16 15:50
a curious hotel, located in a strange place. nice use of the pov showing the building and its structures for two angles. nice light and details. TFS.,

Hi dear Danos, how are you?
Not a ship but a hotel! So unioque and intersting indeed, I want to stay, if possible. Great angle, framework, color and so on perfect as usual!
All the best and have a good day! TAKERO
jcpix (14030) 2014-01-16 16:47
Hi Danos,
Just as the name suggests, right on the edge. :) I don't believe I've ever seen a hotel like this before, this is quite interesting and unique. You've done a fine job in showcasing its dimension and location, taking a good angle to show ample surrounding and presence on the water. This would be a fun place to stay, something out of the ordinary. You've caught this at a prime moment too, bathed in warm sunlight to enhance the atmosphere and provide a colorful reflection along the pier supports. Love the originality of this place, and for showing us something new. Enjoy the day ahead.
Friendly wishes,
imageme (1790) 2014-01-16 18:46

The Edgewater is quite a masterly building indeed and you show the best of it with fine details.
I presume the guests can fish for trout from their own window!
Nice shot with a view on mountainous backdrop.
Se xereto.
adramad (62428) 2014-01-17 7:38
Hi Danos.
Fantastic composition with this POV, which gives a leak diagonally from this highly original and attractive building, thereby increasing the sense of perspective on the same, this incredible hotel, practically anchored in the sea, the feeling there must be like to be in a ship without movement.
A day with good light that gives very good color.
The brightness and sharpness are also perfect.
Have a good weekend.
All the best.

Hi Danos,
A very harmonious and pleasant image. I like very much the view to the hotel structure, natural blue sky, light reflections in quiet water and the depth with which we are able to enjoy the view along the hotel bridge to the mountains in BG. The play of light and shadow, the beautiful soft colors and their effective contrasts, the neat framing and the delightful atmosphere of the quiet water have produced a very elegant image.
Well done my friend.
Wish you a very nice Sunday.

Δάνο καλημέρα,
πραγματικά ενρυπωσιακή η παρουσίαση του ξενοδοχείου επάνω στην θάλασα.Το φωε που πέφτει επάνω του αναδεικνύει τις λεπτομέρειες που μαζί με τις αντανακλάσεις το κάνει τόσο ελκυστικό για να μείνει κάποιος σ΄αυτό,

Hi Danos,
very interesting location for a hotel, and a really appropriate name for it. Nice presentation which well illustrates the uniqueness of this place. You have well included the mountain panorama far on the horizon.
Very well done!

Hello Danos
Impressive location for a 4 star Hotel...a pier jutting into the water. The diagonal creates good depth and the snow capped mountain in the far end creates an interesting BG. Lovely shot!

Hi Danos,
a very singular hotel placed on the water. I like the perspective with which you offers it to us, in an elegant diagonal and with the beautiful mountains in the far background. It seems a good place for to rest calmly.
The sharpness and the field depth are fantastic. Excellent shot.
Best regards,

Hello Danos,
A different design and use of colors for a hotel. I like the location and the view of the front rooms where you can see the snowy mountains.TFS!

So Pier and Hotel shared the name?
After reading your note, enjoy the well composed capture of the pier and hotel that must have a great view of sea and city ( when its not raining)
Great POV in diagonal that lead the view to the back and the mountains
Very well done

Dear Danos,
Beautiful view of the hotel built on stilts with mountains in the background. I hope that every hotel guest is sure to have a view of the sea. Beautiful light on the building. Well done.
