All I got to say is if we don't make the playoffs next year Ireland defiantly has to go. Our team is really not the bad and was close to making the playoffs this year.
One team that might scare me in the future is the Bengals who have the most cap, but at the same time they need to save money for Dalton and A.J. extension.
Which makes me more terrified than excited. We have all this cap room and all these draft picks. Misuse of these and it can cripple us for years. It's not like, well if Ireland screws up next year he's gone. If Ireland screws up the next offseason we can be screwed for years.
I honestly expect people to be disappointed with who we sign in free agency, I can't see us being a very active team, maybe one or two medium priced free agents, not much more than that.
the walrus has a good plan...like the corner stuff although tracy porter has terrific feet he's been fighting a serious neck issue for some time if i recall correctly...still if patterson is really $4.6 mil against the cap next year i might be cutting bait with that or at minimum telling that kid to restructure...he was cut by cleveland after all so i can't imagine his markets gonna be hot
We'll see about Patterson, but $4.6 million isn't overpaying if you're getting a top quality nickel. I'm not familiar enough with him to know if he is, but those guys are starters in my book.
Derek Cox gets a 10th of the publicity as guys with his skill and talent. He's not a superstar by any means. Still has rawness to his game. But he's best corner available in free agency, imo. And with Gene Smith getting fired they might not be so inclined to keep him. Coyle and Anarumo have worked some magic with the guys we have. I'd be excited to see what they could do with Cox.
Don't know how much money would be involved, but could Miami let Fasano go, cut Egnew, and sign two FA TE's? Keller may be costly but IMO two like Davis and Cook won't break the bank. Then we have those two playmakers and add Clay foe another.
Is Legedu Nannee available? I hear he's really good.

Sarah, I liked the tut in the newsletter today. The way you describe expanding the canvas is the way I always did it until I learned this little trick. If you use the crop tool and select the whole canvas you can then expand it by dragging the sides out to where ever you want them. Doing it this way you can add just to one side, or different amounts to each side. Also a lot quicker than going to the image/canvas size ...etc.

Good to know! I never tried this before!

I like your suggestion and I've done this type of sizing when my template is already on a background that is the size that I want. However, the newsletter tut has shown me a way to size a template to the dimensions that I want, so I can work with it before I add it to my layout. Both ways are cool! It just depends on how/where I am going to work with the template, as to which process is used. :-)

Iowa CITY, Iowa - Iowa seemed to sleep walk through the first 15 minutes of Tuesday's game. South Dakota certainly woke up the Hawkeyes.
The scrappy Coyotes hung tough until being overcome by the Iowa pressure defense. The home team ended up with a 87-63 victory.
"Early on, out press was bad. It was bad," Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery said. "They got open threes right off the bat off our press. We were underneath then a little bit too much early. That was disappointing."
Aaron White paced Iowa with 21 points and six rebounds. Roy Devyn Marble added 14 for the winners, while Anthony Clemmons dished out eight assists without a turnover.
"He's seeing things," McCaffery said. "The matchup zone is not he easiest thing to play against. He made great decisions."
Gabe Olaseni and Melsahn Basabe came off of the Iowa bench to combine for 17 points and 14 rebounds.
South Dakota (4-5) tied the game at 24-24 with 8:19 to play in the first half. McCaffery lit into his team during a timeout and his players responded with better intensity. Its first-court press ignited a 21-8 run to end opening half.
"We played good basketball through a lot of it," South Dakota Coach Dave Boots said. "Physically, we just got beat up a little bit. We just have no answer for it."
The Hawkeyes (7-2) held a 50-31 advantage on the boards and outscored the visitors 54-14 n the paint. They grabbed 20 offensive rebounds which helped them get off 21 more field goal attempts.
Iowa came out of the halftime locker room with energy. The Coyotes never got closer than 12 points of the lead after the intermission.
"I do think the energy level wasn't where it needed to be, but the execution wasn't," McCaffery said.
The Hawkeyes continued their inconsistent from behind the arc. They finished 2-16 on the night as South Dakota dared them to chuck it from deep by packing in its zone defense.
"They're going to make them," McCaffery said.
The Hawkeyes return to action Friday night at 7 p.m. when they play host to rival Iowa State at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. They desperately to a win to build their NCAA Tournament resume.

im really hoping we get a cool han bespin figure in this style and maybe obiwan in clone armour

I found the Saga Legends Stormtrooper last night at Target. I haven't opened him yet, but I'm assuming he was left there since the paint's a little bit sloppy. He still looks pretty awesome, though.

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I do like what they've done with the stormtrooper and the clones however they should still have the cloth skirt on the likes of Rex and the snowtrooper I'm not keen on the way they're moulded on
I found the rest of Saga Legends wave 2 over the weekend.
Both Cody and Rex look very simple, but cool. If they had more paint applications, they'd be great. I don't really mind Rex's skirt as it looks fairly normal from the front. I still want the realistic phase I Rex as this doesn't quite scratch that itch, but it's cool to finally have a realistic, albeit simplified, Rex.
The Stormtrooper is indeed pretty awesome – it's a great sculpt, but again, the paint could be stronger. Not that it needs more details, but it's slightly sloppy on my sample and this sculpt would look even better with tighter deco. At the same time, I don't really remember stormtroopers really ever holding their arms completely straight down at the sides, so it's a trade-off. I'd like to see this sculpt repacked with at least swivel elbows and wrists to hold the blaster properly – then I'd gladly buy way more.
Boba is pretty nice. His detailing isn't too simplified, still including the silver scuffs and dings. He's less bulky than both 2012's Battle Pack version and the Mission Series Jango figure but still requires a little maneuvering to get him into the mini Slave I.

Found the Stormtrooper, Cody and Boba Fett at Target yesterday. I only bought the Stormtrooper and he's a pretty amazing figure that's unfortunately marred by sloppy paint apps. I had to take an X-acto knife blade to his frown to trim off the over painted areas and go back in with a fine tipped marker to even things out. It looks much, much better now.
As for the articulation and the sculpt, I think it's perfect just the way it is.
Saw the new two-packs earlier this week at Target. 3PO and R2 looked good. If someone was interested in making a small dio, those figures would be perfect.
Han and Chewie looked good, too.
Now the set I was looking forward to the most, well... I didn't buy the Obi-Wan and Maul because of the sloppy paint on Maul. Hoping to find a better one out there. But now that I saw it in person, I think I can customize a Maul. Too bad Hasbro didn't give us this Maul with POA.

Arms control has often been a bone of contention between the White House and Congress. Presidents and their diplomats prefer to reach agreements in secret and then shield the accord from congressional scrutiny, much less consent. It is all too tempting for the Obama administration to follow this script as it negotiates with Iran. But that would be a mistake. Notwithstanding partisan difficulties, seeking congressional endorsement is essential lest any agreement rest on a shaky foundation and be difficult to implement.
Two of President Obama's predecessors offer a path worthy of emulation. Harry Truman did much to anchor the institutions of the Cold War in a durable domestic consensus. Richard Nixon, in turn, created the modern arms-control architecture and managed to persuade both parties on the importance of nuclear restraint.
Truman appreciated that, for the United States to awaken fully from its isolationist torpor, he had to bring along a Republican Party skeptical of international engagement. He cultivated influential Republican lawmakers such as Sen. Arthur Vandenberg (Mich.) and paid close attention to their advice and suggestions. Even a fierce partisan such as John Foster Dulles was included in the Truman administration's inner circle on issues such as the peace treaty with Japan and the establishment of NATO. As a result of these efforts, key initiatives such as the creation of the United Nations and the Marshall Plan enjoyed widespread support from across the aisle — even though bipartisan support could not be assumed at that time. It is worth recalling that, for the Republican Party, membership in global organizations and offering aid to foreign countries had once been anathema.

Deer Tick is still flying high on Negativity, the quintet's critically acclaimed fifth album released last September. The latest crowning achievement occurred just last week when the band performed at Lincoln Center as part of the ongoing American Songbook Series, captivating the room with a stripped-down 20-song set (footage is up on YouTube). Next up is a homecoming show at Lupo's this Friday (the 14th) before setting out on a co-headlining tour with the Hold Steady (which kicks off at the Boston House of Blues on April 17), followed by dates in May with special guest opener Langhorne Slim.
Life is good for one John J. McCauley III. He recently married singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton (presided by Stevie Nicks, no less) and he and his bandmates — Chris and Dennis Ryan, Ian O'Neil, and Robbie Crowell — decided to scale back both the nonstop tour schedule and subsequent partying. In fact, McCauley had mentioned taking up karate in a recent Facebook post, so you know damn well I had to follow up on that one. I checked in with John via email earlier this week just before the band departed for the SXSW Festival.
The pictures from the Lincoln Center show look incredible. Where does the experience rank in the pinch-me moments for Deer Tick? That was really cool. We did Carnegie Hall a couple years ago and I was so screwed up on drugs, the show was so disjointed and weird, that I feel like I really blew it. I didn't want something like that to happen with this opportunity. We played our balls off and we took the time to rework our songs to fit the room. It was really special. Our audiences have traditionally been pretty forgiving. It's really sweet that they've stuck by us this long. We're finally understanding things like that now.
Speaking of surreal moments, how did Stevie Nicks get involved with the wedding ceremony? Vanessa has been friends with Stevie for awhile now. She just asked her one day and much to our delight Stevie went online and got her minister card from some fake church that specializes in ordaining people to marry their friends.
Are you in RI right now? I heard you were living in NYC for a bit before buying a house in Nashville? We're heading to Austin for SXSW, and then we fly back for Lupo's. I just bought a house in Nashville. I moved up to New York last July knowing that I'd be going back to Nashville sooner than later. I love Rhode Island, but Nashville makes more sense for me.
How did this pairing with The Hold Steady come together? We played with them a couple of years ago and we've stayed in touch. They're a great band. I'm kind of surprised this package hasn't toured together yet.

Did you make sure that your CAM file had that layer highlighted when you generated the Gerbers? I did that once..
Fwiw, if you use Eagle, iteadstudio is nice enough to publish a DRU File to ensure that your design is good to go, as well as a CAM processor file to ensure that the proper layers are printed/processed. Now if only eagle was easier to use (I find the cam process completely backwards, for example). After 'printing' your Gerber files, the online Gerber viewer will let you see exactly what will be transmitted to the pcb fabrication house.
I've used their cam processor, but I didn't see online Gerber viewer on their site. Do you have URL?
I use the free viewer at viewplot.com. Will open all 13 files that the itead .cam file makes.
So you're missing XRONOS 1.1 on the back? Could have been left off by accident I suppose.

From New York to Bangkok the world celebrated World Humanitarian Day
From New York to the Bangkok, Wold Humanitarian Day 2011 was commemorated at events around the world on 19 August. The international community paid tribute to aid workers who lost their lives in the course of duty and celebrated the efforts of aid workers.
"Wherever there are people in need, there are people who help them – men and women coming together to ease suffering and bring hope," stated Secretary-General Ban at the launch event for World Humanitarian Day 2011 held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. Also speaking at the event was Under Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Valerie Amos and UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake, who also commended aid workers worldwide and called on the world to urgently scale up the response to the crisis in the Horn of Africa.
At the event, the exclusive World Humanitarian Day song - "If I Could Change," - and music video was unveiled. The track is a collaboration between various global artists including Ziggy Marley, Somali sister-duo Sweet Rush and Salman Ahmad from the Pakistani band Junoon, and produced by Grammy-award winning producer Jerry Wonda.
Commemorations worldwide
Across the world UN agencies, local and international NGOs, Governments, academia and the public came together to celebrate aid workers under this year's common theme - "people helping people."
The international community in Geneva marked the day with a public event which began with a walk from Plainpalais and concluded at the Parc des Bastions, where a panel discussion on the humanitarian crisis in Somalia and a concert took place. In Ireland, at an event hosted by Concern Worldwide, aid workers spoke about working in some of the world's poorest countries, while across the world in Australia, AusAID hosted a cross-sector panel discussion on humanitarian issues.
Africa also celebrated World Humanitarian Day. In Liberia, a women's radio talk show hosted by ActionAid Liberia put focus on humanitarian issues, while in Uganda a public event attended by thousands of scouts marked the day.
In Asia, a commemorative event was held at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok. In Yangon, Myanmar, some 200 representatives from national and international non-governmental organizations, UN agencies, diplomats and the Government of Myanmar attended a common World Humanitarian Day event.
Events also took place throughout Latin and South America, with academic events focussed on the quality of humanitarian assistance in Colombia and social media tours and an exposition from humanitarian actors in Panama. In Haiti, a range of events took place including a live radio debate, a humanitarian radio quiz, and a humanitarian television programme.
Commemorations were also held in countries as diverse as the Philippines, England, the Central Africa Republic, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Equador, Chile, Guatemala, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.

Did all those King Henrys have a surname?
And how about this: William T. Conqueror?
All I wanted to do was find out who Mary Ann Russell's parents were. Somehow I found her at Geneall.net,
a website I'd never heard of before. Have you checked it out? It's a membership website, and you'll want to read the explanation about this global project on their Access page.
I found navigating a little tricky. From the start page, you click on your language of choice. You'll be taken to a page with a short menu in the left sidebar. You'll need to return to this page to access the menu again, as it's not available on the other pages. Using the back-button on your browser can end up being pretty laborious when you start clicking through the links you'll find; I found it easier to keep the menu page open, and wheel-click or right click to open my menu selection in a new tab or window. You'll also see a log-in box in the left sidebar. You needn't be a member, though, to use the search box on the right and click through the lineages.
I entered Mary Ann Russell's name in the search box and found her page. As I clicked and clicked up her branch of the family tree, I began to wonder what the colorful dots meant. Hovering revealed the secret:
A red ball identifies the descendants of William the Conqueror, king of England;
A yellow ball the descendants of Charlemagne, Holy Roman emperor and king of Italy;
A dark-blue ball the descendants of Hugh Capet, king of France;
A green ball the descendants of Ferdinand the Great, king of Castile and Leon;
A pale-blue ball the descendants of D. Alfonso Henriquez, the first king of Portugal.
Click around in Mary Ann Russell's tree long enough and you'll find dots in all five colors. The whole experience was a little overwhelming. Again, the navigation is confusing. Using this link to her branch of the family tree, you arrive on a page that shows Mary Ann with a yellow dot next to her name, dots of all five colors under her name, and a yellow dot beside her father's name. Clicking on her father's name will take you to his page, where he will be at the top with his yellow dot, and below you'll see it's his mother who has the yellow dot beside her name; i.e., it is through her lineage that he is descended from Charlemagne. You can click through the Charlemagne line that way.
But suppose you are on Mary Ann's page and you are wondering about the other colored dots under her name. Do they mean anything? Yes, they do. They mean she is a descendant of all those lineages. How do you follow her lineage back to William the Conqueror, or one of the others? You do so by clicking on one of the tiny flag icons at the lower right corner of the info box. You'll see the dot next to Mary Ann's name change color, along with the dot next to the name of her parent who is descended from that line. Now when you click through the parents' lineage, you'll be following a different line back.
I found that sources are listed (peerages and such) for some lines but not all. More information is available to members, but at this point I'm not ready for a membership. I'd like to know more about Geneall.net, though, and would appreciate comments from any of my readers who have used the site, either as members or as guests.
Now, about those ancestors of mythological proportions. I really don't know what to do with this! There are plenty of generations between me and my grandpa, the Holy Roman emperor, for which I have not yet found sufficient documentary evidence to support my connection, and in truth, I probably never will... although the odds get better as FamilySearch continues to add free online access to more and more of the world's documents.
But what about now? I was blindsided. I can't even imagine how to think about this. So I'm making a list of questions that have come to mind, and I invite my readers to share their thoughts on any aspect of this topic in the Comments section, or on your own blog if you prefer, and let me know you've done so via the Comments section here.
- Have you found royal ancestors in your own family tree? If so, how did you find them? What were your thoughts at the time? If not, what do you imagine your thoughts would be if you did?
- How would you react to such news? Would you search for documentation? Accept the lines as they appear in peerages or other books which, presumably, have been well-researched by historians? Something other way entirely?
- How meaningful is (or would be) this kind of connection to world history for you?
- Would you believe it? Question it? Doubt it? Disbelieve it? Disregard it entirely?
- Would you be inclined to add the lineage to your working database? If so, why? If not, why not?
- If you were adding the lineage to your database, how would you go about entering the names when, instead of surnames, you have stuff like "of Aquitaine" or "The Conqueror" or "III, King of England"? Is there a standard way of entering such descriptions? If you just put William in the Given Name field, with no surname in the Surname field, and the descriptors in the Title fields, The Conqueror is going to show up in your index as plain old William, right next to that guy Bill your third cousin Marlene married awhile back whose last name you don't know.

I've been making things all of my life -- sewing, knitting, drawing, painting, gardening, cooking, needlepoint, cross stitch. I learned early on that my mom would provide endless materials if I would make my own clothes. For many years I worked as an apparel and textile designer. After retiring from the garment industry to spend more time with my kids, I discovered the wonderful online community of knitters. From there one thing led to another and I discovered that everything that I had done professionally in those earlier year came neatly together in knitwear design. Knitwear designers have the unique pleasure of designing both the textile and the garment. It was true love.
I learned to spin after seeing all of the gorgeous yarns that people were making themselves. I love spinning as much as I love knitting, but don't find nearly enough time to spin as I'd like.

Potts Camp needed one last dry run before jumping into Mississippi High School Activities Association football next season.
Thus far, the Cardinals look ready to make the jump to Class 2A upon classification realignment for next season.
Potts Camp is 5-1 with its lone loss to Class 6A Desoto Central.
"I just wasn't sure we were where we needed to be mentally to be in a division with teams like the Calhoun Citys and Bruces and Okolonas, guys who have been there for years," said Cardinals coach Shane Stone.
This season has been a proving ground, with a one-two rushing punch leading the way.
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Harris and senior running back Jamarquis Foster are neck-and-neck in rushing. Foster has 577 yards on 64 carries with 11 touchdowns. Harris has scored four touchdowns and has gained 560 yards on 53 carries.
"We look at him to do a lot of things and he does," Stone said. "He's just a sophomore and plays much older than that, like a senior really. Jamarquis Foster has really been the staple for us.
"That's a pretty good one-two punch. Teams have to be prepared for both."
Harris also starts at safety, Foster at middle linebacker, where he leads the team with 11 tackles per game. Brantley Harris, the team's best receiver and cover corner, has five touchdown catches.
Potts Camp has four games remaining: Friday at home against Immanuel Christian, at East Union and two home dates against Benton County and New Site to close the season. Next year, the grind gets tougher. The Cardinals played Falkner and Biggersville last spring in an effort to see where they need to be for next season.
"At the beginning of the year, we challenged them and every week they've been responding," Stone said. "Having a good year can have huge dividends in the future as far as competing with some of those teams."
New kick time
High school football games will kick off at 7 p.m. for the remainder or the regular season and playoffs. The first seven games of the season started at 7:30 p.m. due to the heat.

I spent an hour or so playing with an implementation of Paul Graham's anti-spam algorithm, described recently in A Plan for Spam.
I implemented two different tools, both in Perl: spamcalc takes two sets of filenames, separated by "--"; the first set is a list of files containing "good" email (you can have lots of email messages in a single file, or one per file--but it only groks standard UNIX mailbox format, with '^From ' delimiters). This script reads in and tokenizes (using the same algorithm Paul describes) all the "good" messages, counting how many times each appears, then does the same for bad messages. Then, it does the weight calculation and constructs a DB file containing all the valid (appeared enough times to count) tokens and their weights.
The second script, spamcheck, takes a single message, tokenizes it, and computes the 15 most "interesting" tokens. It then applies Bayes Rule and shows you the resulting probability that this mail is spam. The implementation (barring any stupid coding errors on my part) is identical to that described in the paper, including ignoring case, etc.
I then played around with it for a bit. The main problem I have is that, as I suspect is the case with most people, I don't keep my old spam. So, I had to dig hard to come up with some spam to test with, and only managed to find 10 messages that I had received. So, I'm just testing--who cares, right?
Next, I have a huge archive of every email I've ever sent (well, since 1995 or so--the older stuff is on backup somewhere), but that's not really what I want since I'm trying to test email others have sent me: it seems likely to me that email I sent would give a different, skewed statistical "look" from email I receive, and harm the filter. However I also have a pretty large set of folders containing mail others have sent me, so I used all of that for the "good" mail. I then ran some test email, both spam and not-spam, through the filter.
Well, the results were disappointing: everything was categorized as spam! Looking at the results shows why: there are about 5 instances of the year ("2002") as a token in the test messages (in the headers, etc.), and each one of those was labeled individually as very interesting, and they all had a strong correlation to spam (.88 or so). Why is this? Easy, once you think about it: my spam was all of very recent vintage: today, actually. However, my good email was from folders where a very large number of messages were from previous years. So, the "2002" token appeared in all the spam messages, but a much smaller percentage of the good messages, hence the year was treated as a high-probability indicator of spam! Not good. Maybe if I had more spam (even if it was all from 2002) there would be more interesting words than the year and this wouldn't matter. Of course, older spam would also solve this problem.
Then I decided to try to get more spam to test with, so I went looking at archives of mailing lists, like the GNU lists, which I know get lots of spam. I found 30-40 messages and saved them, and re-ran spamcalc. Now when I tested messages, they were all categorized as not spam! Again, checking the details shows why, and it's related to mail headers: all the email to me contained headers that showed my hostname, etc. All the spam I installed from the archives did not. So, any tokens containing my host, etc. indicated a low probability of spam... again, not good!
So, I changed my "good" list to be just my inbox, which does contain some older messages but most of which are more recent, to solve the first problem, and I included only the spam I'd actually received to solve the second. This works better than the other two, but still I don't have enough spam mail to get a really good filter yet. But, I've started saving spam so maybe it won't be too much longer :).
In summary, if you want to use this algorithm be aware that for good results it's best if both your good and spam sets of messages are of similar vintage (not just due to the year, but other things in the headers like different local hostnames, etc.), and that you use spam you actually received rather than public archives of spam.
One way around this would be to enhance the algorithm to ignore some kinds of tokens outright: maybe avoiding things that look like dates, and maybe the first one or two (or some well-known set) of Received headers (ones that will be in every message you receive anyway); obviously now we're moving slightly away from a pure statistical analysis and trying to inject some AI into the algorithm. Which kind of goes against the whole idea.
Anyway, I thought it was an interesting experiment.

Of all the countries in the world that the U.N. could/should be monitoring during elections, they think the U.S. is one of the important ones. The AG of TX has an opinion on this:Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott wrote the United Nations to tell them, Groups and individuals from outside the United States are not allowed to influence or interfere with the election process in Texas.
GOP-USA reported:The Daily Caller reports that Texas is balking at the idea of U.N. involvement. In a letter sent by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, the AG warns that U.N. poll watchers do not have jurisdiction in the state and will, therefore, be criminally prosecuted if they attempt to interfere at Texas polling locations on Nov. 6.The letter, addressed to Ambassador Daan Everts, came in response to the announcement that the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe will deploy scores of election monitors to the U.S. in an effort to monitor conservative groups for voter suppression or intimidation.
Groups and individuals from outside the United States are not allowed to influence or interfere with the election process in Texas, wrote Abbot. This State has robust election laws that were carefully crafted to protect the integrity of our election system.

Allegheny County wooing Emirates airlineJanuary 30, 2014 11:48 PM
Rich Fitzgerald is planning a trip to Dubai.
The Allegheny County executive announced Thursday that in late February or early March he will lead a delegation to the United Arab Emirates to speak with an airline known as Emirates about the possibility of opening a hub of operations at the Pittsburgh International Airport, an outcome that aviation analysts deemed unlikely but that Mr. Fitzgerald said he would still like to explore.
"We want to talk to them about how this market is perfect for a hub," Mr. Fitzgerald said.
His announcement comes less than one week after American Airlines said it was closing the US Airways operations control center in Moon. The move, which will consolidate operations in Dallas-Fort Worth for the American Airlines and US Airways merger, will affect 600 jobs here and was greeted as bad news for the Pittsburgh region.
In Dubai, Mr. Fitzgerald hopes, there will be a good prospect for better news in the future for the Pittsburgh region and its airport. The Allegheny County delegation will be discussing Emirates, an airline created in 1985 and owned by the government of Dubai.
Mr. Fitzgerald said his "antenna immediately went up" after reading news accounts of Emirates' recent and rapid growth, including the airline's purchase in November of 150 Boeing 777X aircraft and 50 Airbus A380s, what the company described as the "largest ever aircraft order in civil aviation."
Discussions between Allegheny County officials and United Arab Emirates representatives will include talk of setting up international flights, but Mr. Fitzgerald said his high hope is that Pittsburgh can serve as a hub for Emirates airline, increasing the number of domestic flights leaving Pittsburgh and flying to places such as Nashville and Los Angeles.
But, to hear aviation analysts describe it, Pittsburgh as a hub for Emirates airline may be no more than a desert mirage.
"That is not going to happen," said Bill Swelbar, executive vice president for Inter-VISTAS in Washington, D.C., when asked his thoughts about Pittsburgh as a hub. "That is called cabotage. That is against the law."
Cabotage is when a foreign air carrier operates between two U.S. points, other than as part of a through trip that involves travel to or from a foreign point. It is banned by U.S. law.
Another analyst, Richard Aboulafia at the Teal Group in Fairfax, Va., called Mr. Fitzgerald's vision "completely impossible." "It's a political nonstarter," he said.
The analysts agreed that even the idea of Pittsburgh becoming a destination for international Emirates flights from Dubai is a stretch. The cities that Emirates flies to currently are large ones, such as Washington, D.C., New York City and Los Angeles, to name a few.
"If one of the Middle East carriers were interested in Pittsburgh, it would be the smallest U.S. market to date that they have decided to enter," Mr. Swelbar said.
He said Middle Eastern airlines such as Emirates are "hungry" to find new U.S. opportunities, but they tend to target larger metropolitan areas, because to be successful they need large traffic flows.
Pittsburgh, with its current air travel profile, does not fit the bill, he said.
"We know that Pittsburgh struggled even with some transatlantic service," he said.
More within the realm of possibility, though still unlikely, both analysts agreed, is the idea of a codeshare, meaning a person could book an Emirates flight that goes from Pittsburgh to Atlanta to Dubai, with the Pittsburgh to Atlanta portion being aboard a U.S. carrier.
But, Mr. Aboulafia said, Emirates does not currently have codeshares with any U.S. carriers, and Mr. Swelbar said it doesn't seem as though they have "the appetite for it."
A spokesman for the Allegheny County Airport Authority declined to comment.
Describing the discussions as "preliminary," Mr. Fitzgerald admitted that the plan does contain hurdles. But it's an idea that he believes is worth pursuing.
"There are certainly regulations and restrictions," he said. "We still think there's an opportunity here for Pittsburgh."
Simin Curtis, president, CEO and founder of the American Middle East Institute in Pittsburgh, was not aware of the planned UAE trip until a reporter called her, but she said she supported it. It's an idea, she said, that possibly "creates jobs, creates goodwill, builds stability."
"It's win-win, all around," she said.

I've moved back to the San Francisco area and gotten a job working at proofpoint, inc.
great company, great job, very happy, especially happy to be out of the army and a civilian again.
Well, now I think I will be working again and I am gonna be busy as h*## , I am to be working as a contractor for Resilience, Inc. w/ my LDAP knowledge and SAMBA knowledge as well. I also have to get a talk ready for the Linuxworld Expo in San Francisco in August...
Check it out:
Check the particulars about my session about linux on the desktop. Should be the third from the top
Theme: User Interfaces
well I guess I am about to get really busy... oh wellers, life goes awry (or is that on?)
Still been banging around w/ Mac OS X lately as well, its interesting to say the least...
Thats all for now.
Well, of late I have been banging my head about on OSX or mostly on Darwin, I installed the Developer tools and have been trying to compile open source stuff on it, and have about 50-50 sucess. I can get most console based apps working just fine w/ a newer version of config.guess and config.sub from gnu.org, but some stuff just doesnt have the right system calls for the Mach kernel I guess. I also found a site where they have some apps that they purportedly got to compile so I got their patched versions but no go... wanted to get glib and gtk to compile on it so I can use enlightenment w/ X. I do have X and a cool app called Xdarwin that allows me to toggle between OS X's aqua to X and back. I was pretty irritated that they have gcc on the box and call it cc not gcc and its really the FSF's gcc that they're acting as if its theirs. I hear you can run strings on it and get the usual FSF and GPL type messages in the binary, I also just symlinked cc to gcc and voila all code that required gcc worked beautifully as well. sheesh, dorks.
Anyway, I hope to get better performance from X soon too, theres some real hackers out there working on it, its framebuffer shared w/ Aqua and its soooo sloooow.
But its fun! heh, so I will just keep poundin away at Darwin learning as much as I can from it I guess...
Ok, So I have been spending untold hours hacking away at my apple box lately, having fun with Yellow Dog Linux. The dern Cube has been a real chore to get working fully, I chatted w/ Paulus a bit and he gave me some pointers, but the best help I have had was from Jeramy at openprojects #ppclinux... thanks man! Anyway, I still wanna find the bug thats causing my usb speakers (usb module audio) to hang the kernel completely... I guess I may need to go back to one of the Paulus/BenH kernels, the standard 2.2.18 isnt beatiful, even though I hear that they merged the Paulus/BenH code back into the 2.2.18 and 2.4 kernel.org tree, it seems a bit buggy. I dunno though, not like I am a specialist on kernel internals heh. Well I guess thats my big first diary entry.

Product Questions
The max head pressure on the included pump is about 7ft. It likely wouldn't be well suited to this application. That said though, you can get the additional switch socket adapter which would allow you to control any pump via the osmolator system. That way you can use a pump that can handle the head pressure.
In theory it could present a problem but the circuitry in the Osmolator should help to prevent that. Every time the ATO is triggered it runs for a minimum of 15 seconds. It adds overfill to prevent short cycling. In most cases this should be sufficient unless the height of your waves is constantly changing.
The pump on the osmolator has a max head height of 7ft.
Head pressure is the maximum height that the pump can push water vertically. If your tank is higher than the Head height listed this will not be able to work. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
This will work great in the back of a nuvo 30! Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
The diameter of the pump is just under 2" this is how wide the cap will need to be in order to allow the pump to pass through.
This will be 4" long, 2.5" wide and 1" thick. it will require a Velcro pad to stick or to be used with double sided tape.
The optical eye sensor will usually sense and fill within the range of 1/4" Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
If you have calibrated the pump to maximum output and it is still unable to keep up you will want to ensure the pump is filling the proper amount. It may be that the head height (the vertical height the pump has to push the water) could be too high or other pump related problems. We have used the osmolator on larger systems with quite heavy evaporation with great luck. If the issues continue you will want to contact Tunze directly to see if the pump is working correctly! I have included their contact information below!
Tunze – 512-833-7546 firstname.lastname@example.com
The Tunze Osmolator is an entirely self sufficient system. It is perfectly fine to connect the Osmolator to one of the Apex's power outlets incase you wanted to cut the power for some reason (like when you are doing a water change) though the Apex isn't capable of reading the Osmolator's sensors or anything of that sort.
The 3155 will have 2 sensors the mechanical float and the optical eye. The 3152 will only come with the mechanical float switch. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
The max head pressure on the osmolator pump is 7ft.
This osmolator will run for typically 10-15 minutes in a dry container. eventually the controller will sense that it has not filled in a timely manner and should turn the system off. if this continues to not be filled there may be red flashing on the controller. For direct assistance you will want to contact Tunze directly!
The Osmolator actually comes with the pump right in the package so you don't need to buy one!
Just wondering if I need 2 ATO. I know you can place it either in the sump or in the tank, but my question is if I place it in the sump will it also refill my tank in that process. I don't see that happening but if it does please let me know.
If you have a sump, it MUST go in the sump, in the chamber where your return pump is. This is the only area of your tank that will have a changing water level depending on evaporation (unless its far too late!). Only one ATO would be necessary but it must go in that location if you have a sump.
Daire Fontaine
We run into very few issues with these but after that length of time I would imagine its possible for any component to fail. We don't have individual parts like the optical eye, but if you give Roger and company a shout over at Tunze USA, he might. At the very least he could likely help you narrow down exactly what it is. The number I have for them is 512-833-7546 email@example.com
That is correct. Its a submersible pump that gets stuck right into the top off water. If your interested in this ATO system you should give this blog article a quick read. It goes into a lot more detail on the system (which is one of my favorites).
Full Details
The Tunze Osmolator 3155 is one of the safest ATO's available. It utilizes an electronic eye sensor to monitor water levels and a backup float switch sensor with an optional audible alarm. The controller protects the quiet metering pump from running dry and reports an empty storage tank. Two magnetic holders for sensors and multiple mounting brackets included as well as a pump.
LED indicator lights the Osmolator will allow you to visually see if their are any issues with your top off system.
Two technologies of water level monitoring, and built in safety back-ups.
The optical eye sensor will keep the water level very steady to keep the salinity from fluctuating in your aquarium. The Osmolator does work well with kalkwasser.
Max Head Height: 7.2 ft
Note: With any pump, kalkwasser can cause premature wear. New pumps are available at a very reasonable price.
Works Great By Dave on 4/20/2017Dave would recommend this product to a friendEasy to use and setup, works great!
EASY INSTALL WORK LIKE A CHARM By Red on 4/13/2017Red would recommend this product to a friendI got this one in from BRS and nice easy install and works like a charm. just be careful of the magnets you get those stuck they are a pain to pull apart. tip leave them on the foam until you need to put on tank.
Great product By Flea on 4/4/2017Flea would recommend this product to a friendWorks great keeps water lol steady
It works By Brian on 4/3/2017Brian would recommend this product to a friendIt's impossible to say whether this is a quality product after only owning it for a month, it's brand new so I would fully expect it ro work and do everything as advertised. I'll just have to wait and see how it functions 2 or 3 years from now. I can say that it was easy to setup and has functioned properly so far. I purchased this ATO really just for times when I'm away from home and can't manually top off my tank. I prefer to manaually fill the tank each morning after I test the salinity. I'm going to have to either fill the ATO reservior or the tank, may as well just fill the tank. I bought this unit because it was the most expensive and had the best reviews. Time will tell if it was worth the investment.
Reliable! By Leo on 3/27/2017Leo would recommend this product to a friendI bought this ATO about a year ago...no problems and has worked flawlessly ever since. After I got it, I wondered why the heck I waited so long to get it.
Great Addition By Mike on 3/15/2017Mike would recommend this product to a friendThis is a must have product. I have a 3155 and 3152. They took a little effort to dial in but once set they have worked flawless. I no longer worry about checking daily water levels. I fill the reservoir once a week and let the system do the rest.
It Works Now By RobertP on 3/14/2017RobertP wouldn't recommend this product to a friendRead and heard many good things about this ATO prior to purchasing. Hooked it all up and got my sump level where I wanted and it woke me up the first night screaming about too much water. I check it and the ATO DUMPED TOO MUCH WATER! WTH! I unplugged it and left it for the day. Not sure if the sensor needed to sit in my water or what but since then it has worked perfectly. I turned the alarm off because it screams when the water gets too high...every time you go into feed mode because the sump level rises when the return pump is turned off...annoying.
One thing I REALLY DISLIKE is the pump is supposed to turn off if the container runs out of water. This is NOT THE CASE. I got up real early one morning to hear a whinning from my tank. Turns out the ATO pump was running dry and not shutting off. I checked the dial and it is in the middle so it should have shut off after a short time....
Just a piece of advice, do not make the hose from the pump to your sump too long into the sump. My container and sump are the same height and it will create a suction and pull the water out of the container until it levels out. Did this the first time and it pulled 3 gallons out. :)
If I had it to do over again I would not buy this since I have an apex now.
My Go To Auto Top Off By Alex on 3/13/2017Alex would recommend this product to a friendI've had several different auto top offs from various manufacturers on my tank and this one is by far the most consistent and reliable. Not only is the set up easy, it just works. This is a plug, play and forget as it doesn't require any extra thought. It provides warnings, has back up redundancy built in and never overfills. Buy this and don't look back.
Tunze 3155 By Kazbo on 2/28/2017Kazbo would recommend this product to a friendI have this product on my 265 gallon freshwater tank and works PERFECT !!!!
Definitely Worth the Money By Logan on 2/27/2017Logan would recommend this product to a friendI have been running this ATO for over a year now and still would recommend this product. The optical eye sensor is the main feature that sold me on forking out the money for this ATO and it has not disappointed. I'm using a plastic 5gal container to hold water and using the ATO to pump that to my tank. The setup was simple and I have had no problems with the functionality of the ATO system. My only complaint is that the pump is pretty noisy for our situation. Our tank is in our bedroom and the ATO container is outside of my tank so when it kicks on in the middle of the night it can get a little noisy but not enough to wake me up. This significantly reduced my daily maintenance on my tank and keeps my water params more stable.
Problems day 1 By Adam on 2/16/2017Adam wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThis thing is the first product I've purchased from BRS that I've regretted. It failed in the on position the first night. So unhappy with this purchase for the price I paid.
Work with no flaws By Reefer2016 on 1/27/2017Reefer2016 would recommend this product to a friendUp and running on my 75 for a month with no problems. Should have gotten a Tunze 3155 Osmolater Universal Auto Top from the start. My reefer friends that are using other ATO all seem to be having issues.

Duke's big second half dooms Pitt, 80-65January 28, 2014 7:51 AM
The foundation of Pitt's program is and has been great defense and the ability to rebound.
Then No. 17 Duke arrived Monday and blew up that foundation, so much so that Panthers coach Jamie Dixon spent most of his postgame news conference redirecting every question back to pretty much the same answer.
"Obviously, on the defensive end we simply didn't get it done," Dixon said after the Panthers got pounded by the Blue Devils, 80-65, in an ACC showdown before a record crowd of 12,944 at Petersen Events Center.
"I didn't think we handled our defensive assignments well enough. Our breakdowns were often, early and continued throughout the game. They made shots. They made open shots and that falls on us. We didn't seem to recognize that they can shoot the ball."
Dixon emphasized several times that the defensive breakdowns were "on my shoulders" and said he will work hard to get it corrected.
But his frustration was clear as he answered question after question — like one about the Blue Devils' proficiency in scoring on inbounds plays (they scored off six) — by saying he thought the Panthers prepared well for what Duke was going to run but obviously he was wrong.
Whoever was to blame for the defensive breakdowns, the truth is Dixon is correct. They came early, often and continued throughout the game as the Blue Devils put on an impressive display of offensive skill and shooting.
Duke was 28 of 58 from the field (48 percent) which is a good, but even more impressive, the Blue Devils were 13 of 25 from the 3-point line (52 percent).
That barrage was led by Andre Dawkins, who was 6 of 7 from the 3-point range. He hit a few crushing ones on the Blue Devils' game-deciding 14-2 run, culminating with one with 6:07 to play for a 64-51 lead.
Dawkins hit another 3-pointer with 5:43 left to give Duke a 67-54 lead, and Quinn Cook finished off the Panthers with a drive and basket that put the Blue Devils up by 15 — 72-57 — with just less than four minutes to play.
"We didn't seem to recognize they can shoot the ball," Dixon said. "We have to get the message across to them and we simply didn't. I don't understand it. If they felt we were going to win this game against that team by playing that kind of defense, well then I haven't done a good enough job of explaining how important defense is.
"Dawkins was a key in the second half, he was open and that falls upon us. Our zone gave up two 3s and then we adjusted on some things. I didn't think we played good defense in the first half but we were only down two. You can keep bringing up our shots, our offense, but again, this game was about our defense and rebounding not being good enough."
The Blue Devils (17-4, 6-2) outrebound the Panthers, 37-32, and turned 11 offensive rebounds into 20 second-chance points. Duke held the edge in that category, 20-7, and the Blue Devils also outscored Pitt in the paint, 28-16. The Panthers bench was outscored 29-12, though a lot of that was Dawkins, who finished with 20.
Although Dawkins did most of Duke's damage in the second half, the Blue Devils rode freshman sensation Jabari Parker in the first half when he scored 16 of his game-high 21 points. The Blue Devils had a 34-32 halftime lead.
Dixon was very complimentary of Duke and said the Blue Devils outplayed the Panthers in every category and deserved to win.
"Our issue was defense," Dixon said. "I thought at Maryland [Saturday] we didn't play great defense as well. … We have to get it done defensively. Our defense wasn't good enough to win, our rebounding wasn't good enough to win."
This was the first home loss of the season for the Panthers (18-3, 6-2) and snapped their 14-game home winning streak. The Panthers fell to 0-3 in games against teams in the top 50 of the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI).
A big part of the Blue Devils' game plan was to stop standout Lamar Patterson. He finished with a team-high 14 points but had to work extremely hard for all of them. That's mostly due to the defensive effort of Rodney Hood, who harassed and followed Patterson for pretty much the entire game.
"That was a case of two similar, great players battling," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "I'm sure both guys are exhausted after the effort they played against each other with."

|Elements and Recognition
|Reporting Entity
PROJECT OBJECTIVEThe objective of the conceptual framework project is to develop an improved conceptual framework that provides a sound foundation for developing future accounting standards. Such a framework is essential to fulfilling the Board's goal of developing standards that are principles based, internally consistent, and that lead to financial reporting that provides the information capital providers need to make decisions in their capacity as capital providers. The new FASB framework will build on the existing framework.
Tentative Board Decisions Reached to DateThe Board discussed whether and how to proceed with the conceptual framework project and decided to begin with presentation and measurement followed by the liability-equity distinction.
Next StepsPlease refer to the measurement, presentation, disclosure, recognition and elements, and reporting entity project pages for next steps related to each of those topics.
Due Process DocumentsPlease refer to the measurement, presentation, disclosure, recognition and elements and reporting entity project pages for due process documents issued related to each of those topics.
BOARD/OTHER PUBLIC MEETING DatesThe FASB meeting minutes are provided for the information and convenience of constituents who want to follow the Boards' deliberations. All of the conclusions reported are tentative and may be changed at future Board meetings. Decisions become final only after a formal written ballot to issue a final Accounting Standards Update.

|Board Meeting—The Board discussed how to proceed with the conceptual framework project
Please refer to the measurement, presentation, and disclosure project pages for current Board meeting minutes related to each of those topics within the broader Conceptual Framework project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATIONIn October 2004, the FASB and the IASB added to their agendas a joint project to develop an improved, common conceptual framework that builds on their existing frameworks (that is, the IASB's Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements and the FASB's Concepts Statements).
In 2010, the FASB and the IASB issued two chapters of a revised conceptual framework. For the FASB, they were issued as a part of FASB Concepts Statement No. 8, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. These chapters became effective as soon as they were issued and now form part of the FASB's existing Conceptual Framework.
- Chapter 1, The Objective of General Purpose Financial Reporting
- Chapter 3, Qualitative Characteristics of Useful Financial Information
- In 2008, issued Preliminary Views, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting: The Reporting Entity, and in 2010, issued a proposed Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting: The Reporting Entity
- Discussed the definition of the elements of financial statements
- Discussed and held public roundtable meetings about measurement concepts.
On January 29, 2014, the FASB Chairman, in consultation with the other Board members, decided that the FASB would perform research on the conceptual framework project. This project is no longer being conducted with the IASB.

| Signature Style: The ultimate trendsetter. Her signature "Rachel" cut may have launched a million bobs, but her current glossy layers are just as covetable.
Get Inspired: Her multi-dimensional highlights and cascading layers are timeless. Channel your inner Jennifer Aniston by asking your hairstylist for long, face-framing layers in varying shades of cool gold. But if you're starting with a darker base, be sure to build the blond up slowly. It's always easier to go back and add lighter tones than correct a too-brassy color, and the process will be more gentle on your strands when applied gradually.

| Signature Style: Shiny and super-sleek but never overdone.
Get Inspired: "Gwyneth's bohemian chic look is very natural. It varies from extremely straight to having a subtle bend to the hair," says David Babaii, her stylist of nearly a decade. "It's all about confidence, style, and taking power over your own look." Oh, and a high-powered ceramic flatiron and a sprizt of shine spray never hurt!

| Signature Style: Flirty and feminine with an edge.
Get Inspired: "For a cut similar to Evan Rachel Wood's, ask for a lot of texture—blunt ends won't be as flattering. The front of your hair should be the longest part. You want it long enough to go over your ears, which means you can sweep the hair back into a pompadour or brush it forward to cover one eye when it's swept to the side," says Wood's stylist, Marcus Francis. Keep it edgy by applying a pomade for a slick and defined effect.

| Signature Style: The ultimate bombshell brunet. Her deep chestnut locks always have plenty of volume.
Get Inspired: The key to a shiny, lustrous blowout like Kim's is keeping hair in great condition. "That means visiting your salon every six weeks for a trim, and spraying on a leave-in conditioner each day," says Scheppy.

| Signature Style: Sexy and slightly disheveled.
Get Inspired: To get Kristen's "effortless, sexy hair that's full of movement and volume," Abergel says you need two key products. The first is a volumizing spray, which you apply to the roots of hair before blow-drying. The second is for after hair is completely dry: "Spritz on a beach spray and deconstruct the hair with your hands for that cool and relaxed texture."

| Signature Style: Curls au natural.
Get Inspired: Make sure your stylist knows how to work with curls—he or she "should always cut very curly hair when it's dry," says her stylist Diane Da Costa. At home, get bouncy coils, no curling iron necessary. Define each one by "applying a dense product for extra hold and then finger-twisting in two-inch sections. Protect at night with a silk headscarf," says Da Costa.

| Signature Style: Easy, carefree and sexy," says her stylist, Lona Vigi.
Get Inspired: "Amp up the sexiness by adding a little height in the crown, and a deep part so you can do a side-sweep in the front," says Vigi. This versatile cut can work with any face shape or hair texture, and looks great if you have naturally stick-straight hair or a wave. "To keep it looking easy and not overdone, don't use too much product," Vigi says—a few spritzes texturing spray are all you need.

| Signature Style: Va-va-voom ringlets.
Get Inspired: "Beyonce's hair color has definitely evolved over the years and her style has gone from refined waves, to a more grungy, rustled texture that is more natural," said the star's hairstylist Kim Kimble. "The beauty of Beyonce's hair is that women can get her look without the salon because it's effortless—it has a bed-roomy, not-too-perfect feel which is really sexy." To create Beyonce's trademark Sasha Fierce curls, Kimble blows out her hair using a clampless curling wand, wrapping small sections around it to create spiral curls. "If you use a curling iron, don't use the top section. The wand should be nickel-sized for defined corkscrew curls like Beyonce's," Kimble added.

| Signature Style: Pretty and feminine but not afraid to take risks.
Get Inspired: Unlike the unexpected twists and turns of reality episodes past, Lauren Conrad's breezy hairstyles were always consistent. The trendsetter has experimented with edgy highlights, but is best known for her laid-back styles, like the loose updo seen here. Embrace your inner surfer girl and wear beachy waves year-round. For a low-key chignon like Conrad's, be sure to let a few face-framing layers fall out, then loosely wrap them around a curling iron to create the undone texture.

| Signature Style: Voluminous with lots of movement.
Get Inspired: "Buy yourself a set of hot rollers. Yes, I'm talking about the old-fashioned kind! They're a quick and easy way to achieve all kinds of looks for the fall," said Salma Hayek's hairstylist Robert Vetica. "They help cut styling time in half since there is no need to use a curling iron." Just keep in mind how ample you want your ringlets before rolling up each section. If you want lots of volume and curl, Vetica recommends using more rollers than you normally would. "If you think the curl is too tight, use a blow dryer to relax the style," he added.

| Signature Style: Color chameleon.
Get Inspired: While the star has been known to switch her shade from fiery red to pale blond, Emma Stone's hairstyles are consistently flawless thanks to collaborating with her hairstylist Mara Roszak. "I can't think of a time where we weren't on the same page," she said. To recreate her straight, mirror-like strands, Roszak recommends separating hair into sections, then blow-drying each with a paddle brush. "The best way to get a super-sleek blowout is by taking small sections of hair and angling the nozzle of the dryer downward," she advised. Then, go back with a flat iron to smooth out any kinks. "I touched up Emma's hair on the mid-shaft, and moved the iron through the ends to create volume and movement."

| Signature Style: This generation's Suzanne Summers, Jessica is the iconic blond bombshell.
Get Inspired: "The key is a blond that's soft and multidimensional," says Jessica Simpson's colorist, Rita Hazan. Get the look by having your colorist do a single-process treatment to "warm up your natural color to a light golden blond. Then add lighter baby blond highlights around your hairline and crown."

I'm getting the feeling that distribution of POC at least at Target and their whooping 3 pegs dedicated for it, is going to be even worse than distribution for some waves of the 25th figures.
I can't imagine that Target did not look closely at sales of the movie figures and then dramatically cut back on orders for POC.
I went back to my local Target, hoping Storm Shadow was still there but both were bought already.

By The Associated Press
COLUMBUS — Oktibbeha County Coroner Michael Hunt has been fined and placed on probation after pleading guilty Tuesday to one count of driving under the influence.
The Commercial Dispatch reports that Hunt entered the plea Tuesday in Lowndes County Justice Court.
The charge stems from a Nov. 8 traffic stop in Columbus that resulted in Hunt's arrest for first-offense DUI and careless driving.
A judge dismissed the careless driving charge.
Prosecutors say the 46-year-old Hunt was ordered to pay $897 in fines and sentenced to six months' probation which includes mandatory Mississippi Alcohol Safety Education Program classes and random drug and alcohol testing.

Alternate name: Stagbush, Sweethaw, Smooth Blackhaw
Family: Caprifoliaceae, Honeysuckle view all from this family
Description Sturdy, shapely deciduous shrub or small tree with spreading branches. Trunk short, crooked and stout. Bark reddish-brown, very rough on old stems. Branchlets red, then green, finally dark brown tinged with red. Winter buds coated with rusty tomentum. Flower buds ovate. Leaves simple, broad, oval, ovate or orbicular, wedge-shaped or rounded at base, serrate, acute, with serrated edges with a grooved and slightly winged red petiole; they turn red in fall. Leaves superficially similar to some species of Prunus; thus "prunifolium". Flower clusters white, followed by yellow berries turning blue-black. Attractive, dark-green foliage becomes reddish-purple in fall. Fruit, a drupe, dark blue-black with glaucous bloom, hangs until winter, becomes edible after being frosted, then eaten by birds; the stone is flat and even, broadly oval.

Diameter: 10 cm. (4 in.).
Habitat Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Canyons & valleys, Watersides (fresh).
Range Mid-Atlantic, New England, Southeast, Texas, Plains, Great Lakes.
Discussion Native Americans used a decoction of black haw to treat gynecological conditions, including menstrual cramps, aiding recovery after childbirth, and in treating the effects of menopause. Black haw used to treat menstrual pain, and morning sickness. Due to antispasmodic properties, the plant may also be of use in treating cramps of the digestive tract or the bile ducts.
Black haw's primary use was to prevent miscarriages. American slaveholders also used the plant to prevent abortions. Slaves were a valuable asset, and their owner also owned their offspring, so ensuring that female slaves gave birth was of paramount importance. In defiance, some slave women would attempt to use cotton seeds to cause a miscarriage. The slaveowners would therefore force pregnant slaves to drink an infusion of black haw to prevent that.
Primary use of black haw today is to prevent menstrual cramps. The salicin in black haw may also be of use in pain relief.
Comments For best flowers and fruit, give black haw at least one-half day of sunlight. The plant is durable and pest free.
Exposure Preference Sun to partial shade.
Flower April - May
Native Distribution Connecticut to Michigan & Kansas, s. to Georgia & Texas
Site Preference Low to upland wood edges; thickets; roadsides
Soil Preference Moist to dry, well-drained soils. pH 6.6-8.
Wildlife Value Berries attract birds and mammals.

Unlike bottle coolers, point of use coolers allow water to flow into the unit's reservoir until full, providing a continuous source of water without bottle storage or spilled water. The dual float system prevents overflowing and indicates if a float problem occurs.
The kit includes float system and lid assembly, an inlet strainer, and a cabinet cover to fit round cooler units. The POU method of dispensing water from existing water lines eliminates the hassle of changing heavy bottles and the waste of throwing millions of them away every year.
Compatibility:For use with Nautica Series B1RRHS (Hot 'N Cold) and B1RRK (Cook 'N Cold) units.
