(Reuters) - Nine people were injured, one critically, when a tornado tore through a trailer park in a northwestern North Dakota county that is part of the state's oil boom, an official said.
The tornado on Monday night smashed 15 recreational vehicles that housed mainly workers who traveled to North Dakota from other states, said Jerry Samuelson, director of emergency management for McKenzie County.
One person was taken to Trinity Health in Minot, North Dakota, in critical condition and eight people were treated for minor injuries at McKenzie County Memorial Hospital in Watford City and released, Samuelson said.
Samuelson said everyone appeared to be accounted for from the storm after two separate searches. One family with four small children was displaced and is looking for housing, Samuelson said.
A National Weather Service team was surveying the damage on Tuesday to determine the size and intensity of the confirmed tornado, said Michael Mathews, a meteorologist in Bismarck, North Dakota. Mathews said there were also reports of very large hail, 2.25 inches (5.7 cm) in diameter, and heavy rain in the area on Monday.

Why not cooperate?
Lost in the uproar over the trampling of Steven Turner's civil rights ["Fishing trip: 'Harassment' charges in rapist search," News, March 25, and "Profile surprise: How I made CPD's hit list," Essay] is the fact that the Charlottesville Police Department is trying to catch a serial rapist.
Shame on the police for using victims' descriptions of their attacker to focus their search.
Would we all be happier if CPD was ignoring this information, wasting time and resources looking at men who don't bear the slightest resemblance to the attacker? And two requests for a voluntary DNA sample constitute harassment?
Turner was not handcuffed, beaten, dragged to jail, staked out, followed, or otherwise molested by the police. He was asked twice to do something he didn't have to do, and twice he declined. Would it be harassment if Turner's friend twice asked him for a ride home from the airport? Or if he was twice asked for spare change on the street?
Thanks to Turner's selfish world-view, and his eagerness to share it, hundreds of local men may follow his example and refuse to cooperate with the police, making it that much more difficult for them to catch the scumbag who has already terrorized 18 women. Countless more may be victims while men like Turner stand on their self-serving principles, failing to see that the safety of the community depends on everyone's cooperation.
The day CPD knocks on my door and says they're looking for a bearded white man rape suspect, they'll get my cooperation– and my DNA.

Passwords. No one likes them, but everybody needs them. If you are concerned about your online safety, you probably have unique passwords for your critical accounts and some common pattern for all the almost-useless accounts you create when browsing the web.
At first I used to save my passwords in a gpg encrypted file. Over time however, I began using Firefox's and Chrome's password managers, mostly because of their awesome synching capabilities and form auto-filling.
Unfortunately, convenience comes at a price. I ended up relying on the password managers a bit too much, using my password pattern all over the place.
Then it hit me: I had strayed too much. Although my main accounts were relatively safe (strong passwords, two factor authentication), I had way too many weak passwords, synced on way too many devices, over syncing protocols of questionable security.
Looking for a better solution, I stumbled upon LastPass. Although LastPass uses an interesting security model, with passwords encrypted locally and a password generator that helps you maintain strong passwords for all your accounts, I didn't like depending on an external service for something so critical. Its ui also left something to be desired.
Meet "pass".
A Unix command line tool that takes advantage of commonly used tools like gnupg and git to provide safe storage for your passwords and other critical information.
Pass' concept is simple. It creates one file for each one of your passwords, which it then encrypts using gpg and your key. You can provide your own passwords or ask it to generate strong passwords for you automatically.
When you need a password you can ask pass to print it on screen or copy it to the clipboard, ready for you to paste in the desired password field.
Pass can optionally use git, allowing you to track the history of your passwords and sync them easily among your systems. I have a Linode server, so I use that + gitolite to keep things synced.
Installation and usage of the tool is straightforward, with clean instructions and bash completion support that makes it even easier to use.
All this does come with a cost, since you lose the ability to auto save passwords and fill out forms. But this is a small price you pay compared to the security benefits gained. I also love the fact that you can access your passwords with standard Unix tools in case of emergencies. The system is also useful for securely storing other critical information, like credit cards.
Pass is not for everyone and most people would be fine using something like LastPass or KeePass, but if you're a Unix guy looking for a solid password management solution, pass may be what you're looking for 🙂
Pass was written by zx2c4 (thanks!) and is available in Gentoo's portage

The number of cancer survivors continues to
Changing Survivorship Concerns
Of today's cancer survivors, 68% have passed the often-cited mark of five-year survival after diagnosis. In fact, nearly half are more than 10 years out from diagnosis. Cancer survivors can face a variety of additional health issues that vary with the type of cancer and its treatment, age, and health problems that existed or were emerging before cancer diagnosis. The good news is that these challenges are becoming more widely recognized, with whole new branches of oncology care aimed at addressing them.

ctwing needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 17 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
We are looking for an update to an existing logo, which can be viewed here: http://www.winterwoodtimberframes.c…o_orig.gif.
Please see the full description for complete details of the updated look we are looking for...
Winterwood Timber Frames
Traditional Vermont Homes and Outbuildings
Desired Color Scheme:
green, but open to ideas
Desired Style:
This is an update to an existing logo, retaining the tree, wood, timberframe theme.
Accepted File Formats:
We are looking for an update to an existing logo, which can be viewed here: http://www.winterwoodtimberframes.c…o_orig.gif
Here are some of the update ideas that we are looking for:
1. I like the overall shape of the perimeter. Perhaps adding a touch of joinery to the corners or something might help - maybe make it seem more 3D. Increase room for lettering and decrease tree image size.
2. I like green for the perimeter color, although open to other ideas.
3. I like the idea of a tree - it's the source of our building material, it represents strength, groundedness, etc.
3. Possibly incorporate our by-line be incorporated into the logo: "Traditional Vermont Homes & Outbuildings"
4. I definitely don't want to start over with the logo - some renewed version of the existing one, but making sure it represents our strengths in design as well as something people will remember.
Thank you!

Before you have any treatment, your doctor will explain its aims. They will usually ask you to sign a form saying that you give permission (consent) for the hospital staff to give you the treatment.
No medical treatment can be given without your consent.
Before you are asked to sign the form you should be given full information about:
- the type and extent of the treatment
- its advantages and disadvantages
- any significant risks or side effects
- any other treatments that may be available.
If you do not understand what you have been told, let the staff know straight away, so they can explain again. Some cancer treatments are complex, so it is not unusual to need repeated explanations.
It is a good idea to have a relative or friend with you when the treatment is explained, to help you remember the discussion.
You may also find it useful to write a list of questions before your appointment.
People sometimes feel that hospital staff are too busy to answer their questions, but it is important for you to know how the treatment is likely to affect you. The staff should be willing to make time for your questions.
You can always ask for more time if you feel that you can't make a decision when your treatment is first explained to you.
You are also free to choose not to have the treatment. The staff can explain what may happen if you do not have it. It is essential to tell a doctor or the nurse in charge, so they can record your decision in your medical notes. You do not have to give a reason for not wanting treatment, but it can help to let the staff know your concerns so they can give you the best advice.

Virginia Lee Walker, age 92, passed away peacefully in her home in Page, AZ on February 2, 2014 with her family by her side.
She was born December 13, 1921 in Ft. Lyons, CO to Ada Eleanore Donnell and George Hugh McKinney.
She married Riley Lorenzo Walker on Sept. 30, 1938 in Red Mesa, CO. They were later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He died January 4, 2001.
Virginia was raised and attended school in Pueblo, CO and Red Mesa, CO. After her marriage, she and Riley lived in Red Mesa, CO; Farmington, NM; Blanding, UT; Flagstaff, AZ; Salt Lake City, UT; Cheyenne, WY; and finally retired to Page, AZ in 1984.
Virginia was very talented with her hands. She was a wonderful seamstress, and enjoyed painting, tying quilts, crocheting, crafts of all kinds, ceramics and making dolls. She would spend hours on her work, and loved giving it way to grandchildren and other family and friends. She worked for a time outside the home as a hairdresser.
As an active member of the LDS Church, she had a strong testimony. She was a dedicated Visiting Teacher her whole married life, and had also served as a Young Women's teacher, Primary teacher, homemaking teacher, and secretary and counselor in the Relief Society.
She was a great example of the loving kindness expected of us all by the Savior, and wanted everyone in the family to have a testimony of the gospel plan.
Virginia was a very kind, sweet person. She never judged anyone in her extended family, keeping in contact with everyone through cards, gifts and phone calls. She made sure all of her grandchildren knew she loved them and loved being around them when they visited. She will be greatly missed by all who had the chance to know her. We love you so very much, Mom.
Survivors include children Judy (Dean) Slavens of Page, Dixie Lee (Dave) Hendon of Texas, Riley Walker of Phoenix, AZ, Marsha Rich of Phoenix, AZ and Cindee (Ron) Glover of Kanab, UT; 21 grandchildren, 60 great-grandchildren and numerous great-great-grandchildren.

Funeral services were held Wednesday, February 5, 2014 at the Page LDS Stake Center on North Navajo. Burial was in the Blanding Utah Cemetery on Thursday, February 6.
Arrangements were made with Mosdell Mortuary of Kanab, UT.

Brian Byrne won Discovery of the Year for his score to Albert Nobbs, recorded with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, and Best Original Song for Lay Your Head Down, lyrics by Glenn Close, performed by Sinéad O'Connor with the RTÉ CO.
Lay Your Head Down took the Best Original Song award ahead of songs performed by Madonna, Mary J. Blige, Florence + The Machine and Academy Award winner Bret McKenzie. (Full list of nominees below.) This follows an IFTA win and a place on the Oscar longlist for the Albert Nobbs score and a Golden Globe nomination for Lay Your Head Down.
The Albert Nobbs soundtrack was recorded in RTÉ Radio Centre by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, with Brian Byrne himself conducting, and he has paid tribute to the role of the orchestra in his success: "I am incredibly proud of the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and its enormous contribution to the Albert Nobbs soundtrack. I am so glad I got to do it with the home team. This orchestra's versatility is unmatched in Europe – let's hope there will be many more collaborations like this one."
The long-standing and fruitful relationship between Brian and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra continues in November when his first classical album Tales from the Walled City, with the RTÉ CO and guests including soprano Danielle de Niese and violinist Nicola Benedetti, will be released on the Decca label.

Los Angeles is a 'dream city' built with endless possibilities. A city full of great history, memories, and structured with remarkable architecture. Living in such as city you soon realize that the opportunities and possibilities are endless, leaving us with the mind-boggling question 'what if'. What if Los Angeles was built a different way, what if Los Angeles had a monorail, what if there were more city parks, parking, and just a central gathering point in the city.
Thanks to 'Never Built: Los Angeles'these questions explore just that. It takes the "what if" and sketches it out to be a reality. It's a thorough compendium of projects that only saw the drawing board, but have now been revealed.
Los Angeles is a city that has been described as a strip mall city without a plan. Everyone dreams what LA could have been. 'Never Built: Los Angeles' is a critically acclaimed exhibition presents an LA that might have been—a city full of fantasy and forward thinking structures that was way ahead of time. Currently on view at the Architecture + Design Museum, Never Built: Los Angeles seems to have captured everyone's imagination.
It's a small but ambitious museum that answers these questions: What does this show say about the people of LA? Why are we all so curious about what might have been? Is our city so innately imperfect, fascinating and altogether contradictory that we want to cumulatively wave our magic wands and imagine it otherwise?
Philanthropist and LA builder/president of All Coast Construction, Mike Grosswendt, helped make the show possible. Grosswendt has known for some time that this particular museum's vision is important to not only the architecture and art world, but to Los Angeles residents and beyond. According to Grosswendt, "I felt it was essential to sponsor a show of this caliber. When you pull together a century of urban and architectural proposals that were turned down for any number of reasons, from political to financial, you genuinely appreciate and are inspired by the astounding imaginations and hopeful visions of LA. And what you think about most, after seeing the show, is what our future LA could one day become."
NeverBuilt LA, is currently opened and runs through October 13, 2013
Come check out the exhibit and see what the entire rave is about.

eZ Publish 4.3 will take a big step towards refreshing the administration interface.
A requirement document and a html concept prototype were recently uploaded to our SVN repository, detailing the back-office-design-related features to be implemented in 4.3 and beyond.
This document already took into account the results of this survey : https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=XdceP232zMtVeQApNduLrg_3d_3d.
The actual implementation of the proof of concept starting soon, it is about time to tell us what you think.

The url to the requirements doc is broken, it contains 2 spaces at the end I think. A working link is:

The new admin is great, but I got some comments:
Wednesday 02 December 2009 2:04:31 pm
The problem with horizontal tabs happens when the application grows, or plugins that add their own tabs are installed. Tabs on 2 lines don't look very good. This is why i always use vertical tabs when designing user interfaces now... Just my 2 cent
Wednesday 02 December 2009 2:15:58 pm
What I would really love to see is a QuickSilver-like interface similar to what Cobalt does for Drupal.
No longer searching where the menu item is located that brings you to the feature that you need right now... You just start to type and find what you need.
Wednesday 02 December 2009 2:55:46 pm
The requirements looking good. I have some more ideas:
A cool feature would be, too if the tabs, right_menu and left_menu boxes should be assign to a user role.
For example: only administrator users could be see the 'setup' tab. Or only admins should be see the right toolbar where you can delete cache ....
As standard all can see all and may be a defintion in an ini file can deny or give access to tabs, menues ...
With this feature we only show the important feature for the customer and the admin has still the full backend without defining a seperate siteaccess.
What do you think about these ideas?

@Gerhard : Check your mail, didn't quite get what you meant on some of those. Screen shoots / Mock ups please! :P (And dashboard is covered by the document, not with quick create though)
@Mark: That is covered by the document, also includes adding and removing attributes.
@James: We have considered that, but since we have a content structure and corresponding content structure menu that uses this left column we didn't include that. But what about only showing the first 5 (by setting) tabs and a "more" tab after that has a drop down on hover? (using pure CSS or javascript)
@Phillipe: Are you referring to the show children attribute or the 10 25 50 sub items selector?
@Kristof: Could be cool, but I think it won't benefit anyone but the super advance users though, and our current aim is everyone but especially editors (and developers by allowing them to extending the new parts). But if you have some idea on how that could be done in eZ Publish and for what, then please share and we can add it to the document.
@Felix: #1 Yes, Gaetano brought that up recently as well (I think he created an enhancement issue on it) so I'll add that to the document. #2 The doc mentions ajaxed browse interface, but that enhancement could make sense in the mean time (patch needs cleaning though, but I'll look into adding a misc section in the document).
@Pablo: Key ajax parts are mentioned in the document, if you have some suggestions on other key parts as well, please share

Hi André,
This will be the best Christmas present ever (because it'll be done by Christmas, right ?
A few initial thoughts/comments from me:
Looking forward to the next update!
Wednesday 02 December 2009 6:05:12 pm
I don't think the tabbed view for node information is such a good idea because it would result in alot more clicking around. The old way is perfect to me, although I wouldn't mind it being ajaxified.
Also I would not like to see the context menu taken away or compromised. I use it frequently with the tree menu and sub items list to save alot of clicks.
Wednesday 02 December 2009 7:17:24 pm
@Pablo: Key ajax parts are mentioned in the document, if you have some suggestions on other key parts as well, please share
I noticed André, Thanks.
I wonder if you could imagine a dedicated page/tool to organize and manage workflow. I always felt it was a weakness.
I know it's more a kind of extension than a re-design backoffice wish, but...
Wednesday 02 December 2009 7:23:14 pm
@Eirik: #1 Noted #2 I agree #3 It has been asked for to be able to drag it so it is totally up to the user, will try to implement that. #4 It's 4 or 5 design firms in the loop, I'll have more info on that by mid December +/-
@Magnus:#node information: Our main goal is to reduce scrolling here, so any other suggestions?
#context menu: Have you used dropbox? We're aiming at something like the menu they have on file lists, as in a menu at the far right side of the sub items list (pr item), so it will save you a click and be far more intuitive. Personally I have met at least a couple of people pr year that didn't know about our context sensitive menus, unless they take a course or watch how others use eZ Publish..
@Pablo: Yes it is a bit general for the workflow gui, but if you have some specific ideas on what would make it more intuitive and easier/faster to work with then I'll add it. If you don't have any specifics we can see what the UI guy can propose on this (~2010 q1).
UPDATE: I have started implementing some of the concepts, and as part of it also syncing the pagelayout code with ezwebin to 1. enable cache-block's and 2. make it easier to override parts of it. Result so far: gone from 0.37 to 0.19 (On Windows Vista, so both way lower on linux!) seconds when refreshing while cached, so slightly faster to navigate admin

#node information: I could see the scrolling being an issue with small screens. How about making it customizable? For instance you could make the tabs drag-n-dropable into the view field and vice versa.
#context menu: I'm note sure how that would save me a click though, it's the same principle isn't it? Click on the sub item and get a list of options. Is the plan to apply the same idea for the nodes in the tree menu?
Not knowing about context sensitive menu is a lot of time wasted!
Thursday 03 December 2009 11:25:28 am
First thanks for asking us, it is great ot be able to comment.
Current issues we find when training eZ Publish with our editor teams.
Admin interface
1. Allow drag and drop of pages and subpages etc
2. Change the language of the admin interface for editors. Do not use technical terms. The reason for this is that developers do not use the admin interface editors do and they are not technical.
3. clean up permission admin and viewing of content to make it easy to change/update and see what is going on with content.
4. Create a clipboard area/folder (per user and per group) where folks can work on drafts before they put them in the site, the can be viewed and shared before publishing.
5. Add in site chat for teams to discuss items together like google docs before publishing.
6. In fact.. some of the features in Google docs with shared folders etc make good metaphors here.
Media Library
In large installations this just does not work and becomes a dumping ground. Can time be allocated to review this. Happy to help here
For example really a media library per Channel/siteaccess is needed. Most people create a folder in the media library per channel which is super messy.
1. Most edits just require a change to a title and to body copy so a simple edit view of a page when first editing in (front and backend) will be needed
2. Fix the whole Title issue, I have seen many implementations with the Title and Nav title and event, Breadcrumb title. Really there should be a title datatype and it is extended with other fields for when you need them or by default turned off.
3. Add Editor notes to the field so folks can link to a page we can add content to to help the editor enter the right information. This page should allow links to videos and pics etc.
4. Add a metadata tab so metadata does not list on the same page as content. This meta data tab can then be organised with the standard set of information and then extended where needed.
5. Add system information in another tab so folk can see where in a workflow a page is.
6. Ensure that even if an image is uploaded in a datatype and not linked to it can still be referenced or used in the document. We find that datatypes uploads generally cause problems as it requires content to be on the local machine.
I think there are a few ideas. Please let me know if the feedback is on the right track.
Thanks again for listening
Thursday 03 December 2009 11:40:50 am
I'd like to see the ability to limit options available to non-admin level users.
Create Here - It'd be nice to be able to easily control which classes appear in the create here dropdown. If you are using the Website Interface you often end up with a lot of unused, or rarely used, classes. If you give a user the ability to make the wrong choice sooner or later they will!
Image Aliases - Likewise, if you are using the image alias system to produce presentation graphics (and it's possible to do some pretty powerful stuff with the image processing, make changing banner and background graphics something a non-technical site administrator can do by simply uploading new pictures) it would be really nice to be able to hide image aliases so content editors don't have the ability to add banner images to the content area - whatever.
The idea of having a dedicated UI person is fantastic. It'd be great to have a some sort of user feedback system to collect initial reactions from editor level users when they first encounter Ez. I find non technical users find the admin interface, both the ezwebin front end and the main admin interface, quite daunting initially.
Thursday 03 December 2009 12:05:12 pm
Also, we have many clients who use a folder as a bucket and this bucket could have tens of thousands of objects in it. ie Library or User Group.
We need a way to find this information and work with it. The directory method falls down here and does not work as there is not way you can ask an editor to page through ten thousand items.
I am thinking an a-z finder or an in-situe search for these things?
Thursday 03 December 2009 12:15:22 pm
Nice one Paul
"I'd like to see the ability to limit options available to non-admin level users."
The tab system for tasks like the admin tasks needs to change too.
An admin user is different from a SEO administrator who needs to see stats. So we need to think as tasks being role based not globally defined.

Four cases of whooping cough confirmed in Greendale School District
North Shore Health Department confirms one case
The Greendale Health Department released a health alert to parents Thursday night warning them of an increase in whooping cough cases among students.
Four cases of pertussis have been confirmed in students from the Greendale School District.
"The confirmed cases are students at Greendale High School. We may see additional cases at other district schools," said Greendale school nurse Kathy Andrzejewski said.
The Greendale Health Department said there may be additional cases at other district schools.
Pertussis is a contagious bacterial infection that affects the respiratory tract.
Infected children must stay home for at least five days on antibiotics before returning to class.
All District custodial staff have been instructed to ensure that hand sanitizer is available and common surfaces are disinfected, the Health Department said.
Symptoms include coughing spasms, bursts of coughs followed with loss of breath, cough followed by vomiting and a cough lasting more than a week. They usually appear seven to 21 days after exposure.
"It's throughout the community. It's everywhere. You go to a mall, hear people coughing, church, movie theater, people are coughing, and you don't know if they have a cold, flu, pertussis," Shepeard said.
For more information, parents are urged to call the Greendale Health Department at 414-423-2110.
Friday afternoon, the North Shore Health Department confirmed there is a confirmed case of whooping cough at Lake Bluff Elementary School in Shorewood.

How to Stay Ahead of the Curve and Improve Agent Engagement

Knowledge Management has traditionally been viewed as un-inspiring technology, essentially doing little more than providing agents answers to frequently asked questions. However, with the help of the right Knowledge Management platform, you can actually make your knowledge content searchable by Google and immediately start serving the "invisible masses" of customers you never even knew existed!

Is a good economy bad for USA call centers?
Jan 27 2020
10 mins
Michael Replogle, VP Operations, CustomerServ
Low unemployment rates and positive economic conditions usually lead to increased customer contact volume at call centers. However, many USA based call centers that are in-house or outsourced are challenged with staffing as a result of higher turnover rates, increased costs and more competition for call center workers.
Listen in as Michael Replogle from CustomerServ, an outsourcing advisor and vendor matchmaker, breaks down some of the big challenges faced by contact centers in the USA. How can USA based call centers staff the right talent and what are the key considerations for in-house and outsourced call center leaders when it comes to retaining and nurturing talent? Are the trend lines moving toward alternative customer contact channels and is nearshore/offshore the answer to higher onshore turnover rates and rising costs?

I have 1-32 opened and I am really only disappointed with two figs really. The Super Battle Droid and the Battle Droid. These are exactly as previous releases correct? Somebody mentioned the material used. I wont be army building with either. I am happy will the other 30 figs though.
My other complaint is the Barc Speeder. Biggest POS to date IMO.

I'm pretty happy with these as well. This is, by far, the best movie year collection ever. And I like the TPM figures. I'm really hoping these do well and we can get some more ROTS stuff next year. Unfortunately, I saw one TRU that had dozens of pegs with 1-24 only. I'm worried that misguided distribution of the initial waves will hurt later waves.
Reagrdless, these are great, great figures!! Hasbro stepped up to the plate and nailed it this time!

I got up to #40...not including the Gunner and Medical Droid.
I have to say the only figure I don't like is Padme, but she's a far better figure than any EP1 Padme. This line gets high marks in my book.

I should note that I passed on SBD and the BD as well as spinning Yoda, Obi-Wan #1, Chewbacca and I would have passed on Obi-Wan #2 but I bought him by mistake. I have enough Battle Droids and SBD and hearing these new ones are no better than previous ones is a dissapointment

I am really enjoying the figures. Palpatine #35 is just awesome. I love extra head and hands.

So, for you openers, did you just rip everything open as soon as you got home with it, or are you spacing it out? I didn't really have a chance to get around to it this weekend, and have only opened up a clonetrooper so far (only fig I have an extra of at this point). I'm debating whether to just dig in tonight and start opening, or spread it out over days/weeks. It seems different having to go to the stores to look for stuff more regularly again, it seemed like quite a dry spell overall there so far. Also, to keep this on topic
, the Clone I opened seemed pretty cool...and to be honest, the "squeezing legs" action feature doesn't bother me that much. Reminds me of Super Powers toys. If we have to have action features once in awhile, I'd much rather have this than buttons/wheels/etc. I'm really looking forward to the SA one coming later on, but this one isn't too bad either. I think I like the helmet design of these troops a little better than the AOTC version, probably because they are more "Stormtrooper like".

I'm very happy so far. I got every figure except 33 -36 and have only opened three: The Clone Trooper, At-Et Gunner and the Red Royal Guard. I do have issues with the guard, but he's still a good figure.
As for the rest, I'm dealing with space issues, so I 'm hoping to get some of those resolved so I can bust them open because they look sweet.

Cracked all my figs open as soon as I got home from MM. I'm really loving all these figs. The updated EP2 Jedi (Luminara, Fisto, Shaak-Ti, Plo, Tiin) are AWESOME. I hope hasbro comes out with a Windu, Anakin and Obi with articulation like these. Dooku and Emperor Palps are also great.
Overall I'm pretty impressed wioth Hasbro so far on these. I passed on 'Hunching' Mace. That's one fig that Hasbro need to do some real work on. We need all Jedi with VOTC articulation.

Finished up opening my basic figures yesterday, and overall I'm pretty impressed with this line. No real terrible figures as far as what I have, and some are quite well done. I'm particularly impressed with the "background" Jedi figures, pretty much all of the Jedi outside of Anakin, Obi, and Mace. Those figures are all very well done I think, and worlds better than their AOTC counterparts. Although the Anakin, Obi, and Mace figures aren't awful, I really wish we could see them done in the same manner as the rest of these Jedi. Mace is probably one of the better ones we've seen, but for some reason I'm having trouble getting past those shoulders.
I also like the Clonetroopers, even with the action feature. I can't wait to see what the superposeable version is like in person, and hopefully not nearly as tough to find as the Clone Wars version. Other favorites:
Chewie and Tarfful - Always fan of the wookiees, but was a bit concerned about them after some of the pics online. Blonde highlights seem to be slightly overdone, but the Chewie I got actually looks pretty nice. Maybe I just got one with a toned down paintjob. Tarfful is good as well, although not quite as spiffy as I expected. I do like them both though.
C-3PO, Padme, Bail...well, pretty much all of Coll 2 - Great figures. Maybe one of the best 3POs we've gotten, if still under-articulated. Padme is one of the favorite Padme figures we've seen too. The face seems closer than most we've gotten. Bail is good for what he is, as can be said for the majority of Collection 2.
The Rest of Collection 1 - These figures to me are not too bad, but nothing spectacular. I do like the Emperor figure (loads better than the Saga version to me), and Vader is alright too (although VOTC is a bit better). Grievous and his bodyguards are pretty cool too. I didn't pick up R2 yet, since it seems that he isn't a big hit with those who have him...and from the poster it looks like we'll be getting another one down the road.
Overall, I really like this line. I think it is one of the better ones we've seen for awhile, particularly among the PT "movie" lines. To be honest, it really makes me realize how much crap we got during the AOTC craze. I kind of wish I wouldn't have gotten so much during that time, as so much of it pales in comparison to these and other figures we have gotten since then. Probably why much of it is packed away.

Opened the #32-40 figures last night...here's my thoughts:
Clone Commander
Very cool figure with loads of neat weapons. Double Holster! I like the visor deal and the shoulder pauldron but the figure looses a few points by not having the stuff be easily removable (and in the case of the helmet visor, if you do take it off there are two large pegs there)
Clone Pilot
Seems to be oddly proportioned for some reason. I love the OT life support box on the chest and its a definitely cool and neutral posed figure.
Odd variation aside, its not a good as I thought it was going to be. The head swap is cool but for some weird reason, the "evil" head is stuck at a weird angle. Suffers from salt shakeritis as well with no real legs. I bought two of the black robed Palpatines (one for my OT display) and I just gave this guy the extra saber.
Grievous w/ Guts
A complaint I've had about all of the Grievous figures is the lack of consitency on the paint. This one is almost Bone white again. The exploding feature is alright but the overall figure is about as floppy as a wet noodle. Neat concept, poor execution
AT-TE Gunner
I'm a little disappointed in this guy too. Lots of articulation EXCEPT for the elbows which are cut. Otherwise he would have been a lot better. I didn't try to remove the shoulder pauldron but hopefully thats easily removable. The removable helmet and added helmet armor is neat. Its a good figure that could be a bit better.
Mas Amedda
Lots of neat stuff. The overcape is a little too big, they could have probably have done some soft goods. Nice bonus with the Gene Simmons tongue. Removable cloak and helmet deal are also nice touches. He's good for what he is (and a future pegwarmer I'd guess)
Polis Massan
Pretty bland, sort of like a podracer in looks and figure quality. I'd think they could have done 2 for 1 (with a droid or another Massan) on these but they didn't and for that when you see him, you'll feel slightly cheated.
So, not as good as I thought they would be but certainly on par with the rest of the ROTS figures. I find it hard to believe that in APRIL we already have 2/3rds of the figures already. 16 figures spread out over the next 7 months is not very good planning I think

Congrats on the finds Scott, really looking forward to those Clone figures (as is everyone). Might be time to head out hunting again, since we tend to run somewhat similar to you guys in MN sometimes. Target might be the place to go though, as our Wal-Mart is most definitely stacked to the brim with April 2 product still. Anyways, for those of you who have picked up the R2-D2 figure, what do you think of it? I didn't think that it was receiving real favorable comments, and I passed on it initially thinking I could just wait for the "electronic" one coming later this year, or even just sub in a different R2 from elsewhere in my collection. For some reason it just bothers me having C-3PO stand there without his astromech buddy
. Anyways, I initially passed on R2 and Mon Mothma, planning on getting them later, and was wondering if the figure(s) were worthwhile? I also passed on the different Battle Droids available, but I don't have any interest in those really. I have enough of them from the other two movies.

I've opened several blue and red Guards in the past couple of weeks, and the damn robes puff out huge when the figure is opened. It's almost as bad as VOTC Obi-Wan.
So I've taken to using the clear bands from figure packaging and putting them around the Guard's legs. It scrunches up in back, and might not be good for a long term display, but it works for now.
I also used one of these bands to put around #36 Grievous so he'll stay together. I like him a lot better this way.

Thought I might bump this one back up. Now that many people have seen figures #1-44 (and 45, 46, 47 starting to pop up apparently), what are your overall impressions of the line so far. We basically have 9-12 figures remaining that are announced (depending on your finds/area), so we have a pretty good sampling of the overall line. Which figures are your favorites so far?

Since taking over one of the most sought after locations in all of Las Vegas, Hyde Bellagio has quickly taken its place among the hottest night spots on the strip since opening New Year's Eve 2011. While you will want to make sure you are at Hyde for the late night party, don't miss out on the early evening pleasures that Hyde provides.
Hyde actually opens the doors at 5 p.m. and minus the hundreds of people, the setting is even more beautiful with a little daylight shining in. If you are looking for something a little light as opposed to one of those two hour and two thousand calorie Las Vegas dinners, Hyde has an amazing menu of small plates from neighboring Circo. You must start off the evening with the Ahi Tuna Tartar "Cones." They are exactly how they sound a mini cone topped with perfectly prepared Ahi Tuna, great bite-size portions to share. You can also find Caprese Crostini, Kusshi Oysters. Hyde has plush couches that provide a perfect view of the world-famous Fountains of Bellagio, which were recently voted as the top U.S. Landmark by Tripadvisor.com. Whether it is early in the evening or late into the morning, the open air setting paired with this view makes Hyde a must visit while you are in Las Vegas.
A perfect way to enjoy the sun and summer breeze is with the unique cocktail menu at Hyde and there is not a better picture to be taken in all of Las Vegas than you raising your cocktail against the Fountains of Bellagio and the lights of Las Vegas as the sun goes down. Two cocktails that were clearly created to combat the Las Vegas heat and do the job perfectly are the Strawberry Shandy and the Hyde Bramble. The Strawberry Shandy is muddled with fresh strawberries and the Hyde Bramble is prepared with Plymouth Gin, St. Germain, fresh lemon juice and blackberry foam. The Hyde Bramble is the best drink on the menu and the real treat is that all of those flavors somehow infuse into the ice, making the ice a perfect treat once your cocktail is done. For a group of friends, Hyde's expert mixologists have created refreshing pitchers of Sangria, Strawberry Basil Lemonade and Spicy Hurricane. If you need an experience with your cocktail, try the liquid nitrogen drink that is created right in front of you on their Liquid Nitrogen Cable Car. You are certain to have everyone at Hyde watching as the smoke rises from your tasty drink.
To enhance your early evening experience, Hyde added "Live Music Thursdays." The setting is perfect to take in some live music, you can just kick back and enjoy the view or hit the dance floor. Hyde books some great acts for this Thursday event and the sound system is spectacular. The lineup at Hyde this summer includes; The Paul Charles Band, The Peter Love Band and resident entertainer and American Idol Finalist Mahi Crabbe. Once 10 p.m. hits you will be treated to world-class DJ's and a party that is so energetic you will want to stay until sunrise.
If you say to yourself after seeing the view at Bellagio that you never want to leave, Hyde allows you that opportunity. Literally a place you could find your seat in the evening, dine, drink and enjoy music and then find yourself on the dance floor or at one of Hyde's amazing VIP tables. Hyde is simply a little more intimate and will provide you with a little different experience than any other nightclub in all of Las Vegas.

GETZ IG » Getz TB (2002-2005) | TBI (2005-2009) » Motor / Antrieb / Getriebe » Denver Broncos fans can rest easy: Peyton Manning is back
LA QUINTA, Calif. -- Patrick Reed got an early start in golf. "When I was born, there was a golf club in my crib," Reed said. He got a big jump on the field in the Humana Challenge, too, shooting three straight 9-under 63s to take a seven-stroke lead into the final round. Struggling with the pace of his putts, he needed almost all of that cushion Sunday, closing with a 1-under 71 at PGA West to beat Ryan Palmer by two strokes. "A lot tougher than the first three rounds," Reed said. "My speed was off today. I left a lot of putts short. It seemed like the first three days the ball was just trickling over the front edge, and today it seemed like it came to a screeching halt." Finally resembling the guy who talked Saturday about being in a "putting coma," Reed ran in an 18-footer for birdie on the par-3 15th to push his lead to three strokes. "It felt comfortable. It felt great," Reed said. "I was able to play the last three holes just for par rather than trying to make birdies or trying to make something happen." He did par the last three to finish at 28-under 260 in the three-course event that he opened and closed on the Arnold Palmer Private Course. The 23-year-old Reed has two victories in his first 46 PGA Tour starts, winning the Wyndham Championship in August. He jumped from 69th to 41st in the world ranking, enough to lock up a spot in the 64-man Match Play Championship. "I always play to try to prove to everybody that I belong out here," Reed said. "As well as, I belong, not only out here on the PGA Tour, but also with the best players in the world." Reed took a call from former President Bill Clinton -- the tournament is run in partnership with the Clinton Foundation -- during his interview session. "He told me to get myself back in that zone more often," Reed said. "Because he said it was a lot of fun to watch." Palmer made a 15-foot eagle putt on the final hole for a 63. "What can you do with what Patrick did this week?" Palmer said. "Its ridiculous what he did. Amazing how good he played. Well come up a couple short, but it was a win in my game because I was playing for second today." Zach Johnson and Justin Leonard tied for third at 25 under. Johnson birdied the final five holes for a 62, the best round of the week. "I got red hot at the end," Johnson said. The Kapalua winner is taking a four-week break. "Hopefully, I can maintain where Im at," Johnson said. Leonard parred his last two for a 65. "Would love to have made a few more putts," Leonard said. Other than the 18-footer on No. 15, the longest putt Reed holed was a 5-footer for par on the par-4 13th. That was a crucial putt after he played the previous eight holes in 1 over with four bogeys and three birdies. "I knew that if I didnt make that putt, then it was going to get interesting," Reed said. "To make that putt kind of gave me a little bit more fire saying, All right, well, were running out of holes for people to make a lot of birdies." Reed missed two 6-foot par putts and an 8-footer and dropped another stroke with a poor bunker shot on the par-3 12th. "It would either just stop just short, or it would break at the very end and break off the planet and lip out," Reed said. "It seemed like nothing would go in." On Saturday, Reed broke the PGA Tour record for relation to par for the first 54 holes, finishing at 27 under. He also became the first player in tour history to open with three rounds of 63 or better. On Sunday, he became the second player in the event to lead wire-to-wire, joining 1977 winner Rik Massengale. "To have a day where I felt like I had probably about my C or D game and still shoot under par, and to close off a victory, that means a lot to me," Reed said. Reeds wife, Justine, is pregnant with their first child, forcing her to turn over caddieing duties to her brother, Kessler Karain. She has walked every hole this year and plans to caddie again after the baby arrives around Memorial Day. "I cant wait to be a dad and have a little girl running around," Reed said. After helping Augusta State win NCAA titles in 2010 and 2011, Reed drew attention in 2012 when he successfully Monday-qualified for six events. He earned his tour card in December 2012, surviving six rounds of Q-school at PGA West. "We have worked so hard at it," Reed said. "Especially, with my wife and I, how hard we have worked the past 2 1/2 years, through Q-School, through the Monday qualifiers, and through here to get two wins in less than half a year."
