Family: Laridae, Gulls and Terns view all from this family
Description ADULT Pale phase has a whitish neck, breast, and belly, with variable yellow flush on cheeks and neck; has a dark cap and plumage is otherwise uniform dark gray-brown. Dark phase is uniformly dark gray-brown, darkest on cap. JUVENILE Variably rufous brown, palest and distinctly barred on belly, throat, and underwings. Compared to juvenile Pomarine, note rather dainty, dark-tipped pale bill and wedge-shaped tail that bears tiny, pointed central projections. Juvenile Long-tailed has longer, blunter tail projections.
Dimensions Length: 21" (53 cm)
Habitat Widespread and common breeding species in marshy tundra and coastal wetlands across North American Arctic. Common passage migrant in spring and fall down Atlantic seaboard and sometimes seen in coastal waters; very occasionally inland too. Winters at sea, mainly south of equator, but some remain as far north as Gulf of Mexico.
Observation Tips Easy to see on Arctic breeding grounds and on pelagic trips during migration. The most likely skua or jaeger species to be seen from land during migration, often harassing terns and other small seabirds.
Range Northwest, Plains, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, Alaska, New England, Great Lakes, Florida, Mid-Atlantic, Texas, California, Southeast
Voice Utters nasal calls near nest.
Discussion Elegant seabird with buoyant and graceful flight. Deep, powerful wingbeats and narrow, pointed wings can give it an almost falcon-like appearance, especially when aerobatically chasing seabirds such as Arctic Terns and kittiwakes, which it harasses into relinquishing last meal. All birds have a white patch near tip of wing (most noticeable on underwing), but only adults have pointed tail streamers that extend beyond wedge-shaped tail. Female is larger than male, but both occur in two color morphs and take 2 years to acquire full adult plumage.

http://www.toynewsi.com/6" Star Trek Assortment 3, Cast Your Vote
by Jay at 06:59:22 PM on 03/04/2004
Art Asylum debuted some concept art of their upcoming 3rd assortment of 6" Star Trek Orginal Series figures at last months International Toy Fair. The characters shown in the concept art were The Gorn Captain, Orion Slave Girl, Admiral Krik and Captain Spock from Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan. Since the concept art was completed, concerns have come up by some that another Kirk and Spock figure would not go over well with collectors, since there was a Kirk and Spock figure done in both the first and second assortment of figures which have already been released. Normally I would be the first to agree, that main characters do not need to be released in every assortment for a line to do well, however in this case I believe that many collector's such as myself have in fact been eagerly awaiting the release of good quality figures of the crew in their Star Trek II uniforms. So after some discussion with Art Asylum's very own Adam Unger at Toy Fair we have decided to run a new online poll asking you the collector's what two figures you would like to see included in the 3rd assortment. Found on the right side of the screen on the main page is a Online Poll with a choice of potential characters we thought would make good figures, including Kirk and Spock from Star Trek II. We ask you take a second to cast your vote on which figures you would like to see included in assortment 3. At the end of the month we will tally all the votes and present the data to the folks at Art Asylum, to help them determine what the final line-up will be.

I am out of my depth in terms of the cabling requirements, but have you looked into using fiber optics instead of copper wire? I\
Can anyone recommend a wire to use?
Great idea, but I still think wireless might be a better bet, it surely involves a lot less digging.
Quote from: NickPyner on Dec 01, 2012, 02:18 amGreat idea, but I still think wireless might be a better bet, it surely involves a lot less digging.I suspect it depends on many factors. If the Arduinos are battery powered, I could imagine the drain of doing wifi might drastically reduce the amount of time the batteries will last. You probably don't want wifi, which 802.11g is something like 95m best case for access points (according to wikipedia). I don't know if there are Arduino shields that do 803.11n instead of 803.11g which seems to give you more range.

Answers by Expert:
I have been actively fishing for forty-five years! For nearly 15 of those years I was able to fish nearly 200 days per year. Those wonderful days have left me with a plethora of knowledge to share. I have fished from the Marianas of the Pacific to the quiet tidewaters of Virginia and North Carolina, Antigua the gulf coast of Texas and many places in between. My home waters are those of the west. I am passionate about bass fishing, tournament as well as recreational. In addition, I am well versed in fishing for most other species...(Okay, although interesting, I'm not an expert on British or European style competitive carp fishing...chumming with a slingshot anyone?). I am intimately acquainted with the San Diego County Lakes, Diamond Valley reservoir in Riverside County California and numerous other exciting fishing waters from Texas (Travis County) to the Pacific Coast and south to Cabo San Lucas. I have many years of experience in blue-water as well as inshore angling of all types in Southern California with both artificial and live baits; high country fishing in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of my beloved Golden State with nothing but a backpack and a fly-rod. There are still a lifetime of adventures to undertake, together with my lovely wife, Christine. I am an expert rod smith and have vast experience with both the construction and repair all types of rods including split bamboo (new or vintage) and hickory as well as graphite, boron composites and all types of fiberglass. I spent 20 years in the retail business of which 6 were spent owning and operating a successful tackle shop, specializing in custom rod making, rod and reel repairs and a full scale tackle selection. Uncommon topics I love to discuss: Fisheries Management; Tackle Shop/ retail management; Ethics and responsibilities of anglers; Repair and maintenance of rods/reels; "How to"...any topic in fishing.
I took a few years off,(5 to be exact) from answering questions for AllExperts.com but I'm back now! My experience? Forty-Five years of bio-observation, fishing numerous types of waters with virtually every type of tackle: Casting, Fly, Spinning, Offshore/blue-water, Coastal, Surf, Tournaments: ( Bass, Local Saltwater), Alpine lakes/streams, ditches, canals, sloughs, marshes, creeks and swamps; if there is water, I usually throw a cast or two. Tackle Shop ownership and management, Expert Custom Rod Construction and repair (Big-game, Long-range stand-up, Live bait, jig sticks, Casting, Spinning and fly- including split-cane). I have personally constructed over 700 custom rods of all types...nearly half of the rods the shop turned out. I also have performed hundreds of reel repairs of all types- antique to modern.
I do not typically offer valuation of tackle. This is very difficult without inspecting the tackle first hand and leaving valuation far to subjective. I will be happy to offer other experts for placing a value on your tackle.
NRA forever...(Gun rights...Guns and fishing rods belong together right?), belonged to BASS for most of my life but keep forgetting to renew. I like Trout Unlimited but again, keep forgetting to renew...gotta choose...one more tank of gas and some fresh line...or memberships? Hmmm.
None yet...why aren't they chasing me?

I saw jdahlin's post the other day on GObject introspection. I'm glad to see it finally get committed thanks to m. clasen's work.
I was just a bit sad that i wasn't able to have been more active helping out after agitating for it and doing a first incomplete prototype (because of work and stuff, you know how it is?). That's the great thing about open source though.
With respect to the perennial language question: people should definitely be more aware of the fantastic work done on the C++ bindings (gtkmm, etc). (There is still the core platform issue, but regardless, application developers need to be more aware of all the options available to them).
I hate C++ at least 50,000 times as much as the average joe (read back a bit...arg, it's just such a half-assed language wrt what it could have been). But it can be made to work, and it does make a person more productive: for example deriving a new gobject is handled transparently without half-a-ton of boiler plate that always makes one stop and ponder if the usefulness of deriving is worth the pain.
That said, if a person needs to use C++, they should put some time into learning how to avoid the myriad of pitfalls available to them in the language. One good book i read, and recently revisited was John Lakos' book Large-Scale C++ Software Design. It's mostly about things that aren't addressed in other works. The chapters on 'levelization' and cyclic dependencies were very enlightening (for me) -- reading them crystallized a bunch of incipient ideas whose existence i was just beginning to be vaguely aware of.
And of course there's still my favorite (when it's the right tool): Python plus pygtk.
i read the piece in the new york metro about lessig's experience...and, shit, man. just, shit, man. that's all i have to say.
carry on.

The IDF Life for a Child Programme is pleased to have received a generous donation from WillGolfBetter [2], a golfing company located in Los Angeles, California, USA.
Its owner, Mr Will Neel, contacted Life for a Child in December 2011. Will and wife Lee Ann had become aware of the Programme after the initial shock and adjustment period that followed the diagnosis of their eight year-old daughter Lexi with type 1 diabetes a year earlier.
"We were feeling sorry for ourselves" said Will, "until we visited the HOPE worldwide website and saw children with diabetes such as Kandola and many others (supported by the LFAC Programme). Our whole paradigm changed and we became even more thankful for the Children's Hospital of Orange County and all the wonderful treatment we received."
With deep personal insight into the emotional and financial challenges faced by families of children with type 1 diabetes, the Neel family set up an "Aim to Make a Difference - Lexi's Friends" page on their company website, informing customers about Life for a Child and committing US$0.33 for every item sold to the Programme. In December 2012 a donation of US$4,400 was made, which will be used to expand Life for a Child's efforts in Africa.
"It is our hope that through the "Aim to Make a Difference" page we can create more awareness and support of Life for a Child not only in the golfing community but in our personal community and the families living with diabetes that we have become a part of."
Life for a Child thanks the entire Neel family for their creative fundraising and advocacy on behalf of the Programme.

With the upcoming release of Jango Fett, Hasbro has the unique opportunity to redeem their past mistakes with Boba Fett!!!!!
IMO, Boba Fett has been plagued since Kenner's BLUNDER with the rocket firing Fett back in '79!!!
The POTF Fett was on par with the stuff released in '95! But he still lacked a rocket firing back-pack!
The POTJ (AKA 300th Fett) had great detail, a removable gun AND a rocket firing back-pack!
However, given Hasbro's technological capabilities at the time of his release, he was SERIOUSLY lacking! Take off the back-pack and...what the ??? Half his back is MISSING? And the LIMITED POSE makes this guy a McFarlane type STATUE! All of that is fine if you are a MIMB collector, but then why give us a rocket firing back-pack?
Hey, swing his forearms out and put him on a little runway, you can play that song....I am a model you know what I mean, and I do my little turn on the catwalk, yeah on the catwalk!
"Next up, is a new look for the old Mandalorian Armor. Completly redesigned by Boba."
Anyway, here's what I propose. First of all, Jango Fett should have a great sculpt, at least on par with the 300th Fett! Secondly he should have 2 removable guns...THAT'S 2, yes 2, I said 2 removable guns! Next, he should have a removable back-pack that dosen't leave a HUGE chunk missing from his back when you take it off. And the back-pack should have a firing missile...preferably NOT one that is as tall as he is!!!
The biggest improvement should be ARTICULATION!!! Most collectors have HAD IT with your stupid "Scene specific" STATUES! These are toys, so they should have some PLAYABILITY to them!
So please, Hasbro, please don't mess it up! Oh, wait, did I say "Hasbro" oops, too late!

Batam, Indonesia: What to see and do
Located approximately 20 kilometres away from Singapore, Batam is part of the Riau Archipelago that stretches from the east of Sumatra to the south of Singapore, providing travellers with a quick weekend getaway within the convenience of the city. The island is a free trade zone teeming with duty-free shopping opportunities, and many of its malls are located in Nagoya, the main commercial district in Batam. Nagoya Hill is the crowning glory of the town, a three-storey development that has a mix of retail shopping, dining outlets, and a cinema on the top floor. Look out for international brands like Ralph Lauren, Ann Klein, and Tommy Hilfiger, as well as a number of shops selling local goods such as batik fabric, handicrafts, and kueh lapis.
You can hire a taxi to drive you around the island, which also boasts six golf courses, tropical beaches with watersports, and the Batam Miniature Park that features replicas of traditional houses unique to different provinces within Indonesia. Keep an eye out for the iconic structure of the Barelang Bridges that connect Batam to its neighbouring islands, a popular place for sightseeing and photography. After a day of exploration, refuel at one of the waterfront restaurants perched on stilts – also known as kelong – that serve fresh seafood like chilli crabs, sweet and sour king prawns, and gong gong, a type of sea snail typically found around the waters of the Riau Archipelago, accompanied by sips of refreshing coconut water straight from the fruit.

It's raining now - dumps - like God is turning on and off a water faucet.
FOX News correspondents said He's flushing the toilet on Vodoo nations (first Katrina, and now Haiti's earthquake).
Earlier this evening, I went on a toy-stocking-time-run and saw lighting strike.
There were several good discharges of lightning in my area and big claps of thunder.
None hit the Chargers and even if it did - it's nearly a week too late.

(We're counting down to the first Saturday of college football, now 41 days away.)
Guess which SEC team lost the fewest starts to injury last season? That's right, national champion Alabama. The Crimson Tide lost just nine starts, according to research by Phil Steele, to rank high among teams least affected by injury.
But I think the other end of the spectrum is where you can mine some data that might be interesting when trying to size up the 2012 season. It's possible that teams which had a lot of injuries in 2011 might have fewer this fall, and that would help the bottom line – winning.
Memphis, an awful team, lost 44 starts to injury. But a bowl-bound Vanderbilt team lost 42 starts – and a significant improvement there might boost the Commodores' chances of building on last year's 6-6 regular season.
Starts lost in 2011 by other SEC teams: Tennessee 36, Missouri 36, South Carolina 35, LSU 31, Florida 29, Texas A&M 27, Georgia 22, Arkansas 21, Ole Miss 21, Kentucky 17, Auburn 15, Mississippi State 11.
Based on the 2011 sample, 21 starts lost to injury seems to be the average. So teams like Vandy and Tennessee that had losing seasons may find their rate of injury will decrease in 2012 – but so may teams that had good seasons, including LSU and South Carolina.
On the other end of the spectrum, Alabama and Mississippi State might be expected to have at least a few more injuries this season – while a bad team, like Kentucky, might have yet another obstacle to overcome if its injury rate increases.

Yesterday, the market got more good news about gaming revenue in Macau. Today, Citigroup said it expects those sales to continue and to translate into strong performance for Macau's casino operators.
Their argument begins with the Macau casino operators record earnings during the first quarter of 2013.
With the continued strength in the higher-margin mass market segment (Mass/VIP split of 32:68 during 1Q13 vs. 29:71 a year ago), overall Macau EBITDA increased by 8% QoQ and 23% YoY during 1Q13, on our estimates. In particular, the Cotai casinos continued to outperform the Peninsula and generated +39% YoY improvement in EBITDA (vs. +9% YoY in Peninsula).
That translated into record EBITDA from five of the six Macau casino operators, with only MGM Resorts' (MGM) MGM China falling short.
Even better for investors, Macau's casinos are keeping more of the revenue for themselves, Citigroup's analysts say.
We forecast 2013 normalized EBITDA margins for the six Macau casino operators to expand by ~165bps on average due to a more favorable revenue mix and operating leverage, leading to 27% normalized EBITDA growth, on the back of 15% growth in GGR. In 2014, we expect the gaming operators to grow normalized EBITDA by 17% YoY (vs. our GGR forecast of +10%), with ~100bps margin expansion.
And despite their recent run, the Macau casino stocks aren't looking too expensive.
…the Macau gaming sector is currently trading at 11.6x on FY14E EV/EBITDA. Given the strong EBITDA growth and margin expansion this year, we believe the current valuation remains undemanding. The sector is now trading at ~15.6x 2014E P/E, implying a ~0.9x PEG, on the back of 18% estimated earnings growth, lower than 1.36x and 1.09x at the MSCI Hong Kong and HSI, respectively.
Their favorite: Melco Crown Entertainment (MPEL), which trades at 9.2 times 2014 EV/EBITDA and reported earnings earlier this month.
Gabelli & Co., meanwhile, had its own happy thoughts about Las Vegas Sands (LVS). In a report today, it reiterated its Buy recommendation for the stock. One of the reasons: Macau.
We believe Macau will continue to experience growth in both gaming and non-gaming revenues as new transportation infrastructure and the expected increase in hotel room inventory continue to drive visitation. On January 28, 2013, LVS opened 2,100 additional rooms in Phase IIB of Sands Cotai Central. In September 2012, the company opened the first of two hotel towers of the Sheraton Macao Hotel. On April 11, 2012, LVS opened the first phase of Sands Cotai Central in Macau with 1,800 rooms and significant gaming, meeting, convention and retail space.
Still, it's been a mixed day for the Casino operators. Las Vegas Sands has gained 1% to $59.50 and MGM Resorts International has gone up 0.5% to $15.58. Wynn Resorts (WYNN) has dropped 0.4% to $142.56, and Melco Crown Entertainment is unchanged at $24.60.

I normally *hate* HTML & making web pages. But in an effort to procrastinate I took a look at CSS2. I'm very impressed at how well (modern) browsers handle this stuff now. In the past, I had to work a few projects where I was required to make some sort of HTML or another. One of them involved making XSL that created HTML order forms, tabbed and everything, from XML. The nightmare of getting anything to layout correctly in those 4.x browsers was endless. I'm so glad those jobs are over.
Anyway, I put up all most of my projects & my papers and started to play with a psuedo blog. There are still a few things I'll have to get around to putting up there. I think it looks pretty good, I didn't really have to spend that much time on it - and using only CSS & no tables makes everything 100x easier. So take a look. . Now I have to get back to some programming.

TDK EB750 Headphones
" These IEMs have an MRSP of $40. For that price they are not worth it. However, in many discount places, especially in Canada, you may find these @ $15 or less. If you find them for this price, grab them. I personally paid $10. Sound is great for the price. They look very rugged and feel solid, I believe they are made from aluminum.

William Scheide '36: Celebrating a century of books, Bach and beneficence
Posted February 17, 2014; 09:45 a.m.
When 1936 Princeton alumnus William Scheide was born on Jan. 6, 1914, Woodrow Wilson had stepped down as president of the University and was president of the United States; Henry Ford had just introduced an assembly line to build the Model T; and workers in Washington, D.C., were placing the first stones in the Lincoln Memorial.
A century later, some of Scheide's many friends and admirers gathered in Chancellor Green at Princeton to celebrate the 100th birthday of the musician, philanthropist and bibliophile. President Christopher L. Eisgruber thanked Scheide for "being such a good friend to all of us" and presented him with a key to Nassau Hall, "an honor reserved for those Princetonians whom we hold in the highest possible regard." The event, featured in this video, also included remarks by University Librarian Karin Trainer, a performance by the Glee Club and a rousing Princeton "locomotive" cheer in honor of the centenarian.

A love of learning and the arts
Scheide's contributions to music and scholarship include founding the renowned Bach Aria Group, which performed and recorded for nearly 35 years under his direction. His love of books inspired him to spend countless hours enhancing the Scheide Library, a collection of rare books established by his grandfather, William Scheide, and expanded by his father, John Scheide of the Class of 1896. Housed in Firestone Library, the Scheide Library serves as a resource for scholars, historians, musicologists and bibliophiles from around the world, and is occasionally opened for tours by members of the community.

Scheide was responsible for what The New York Times called, in 2002, "a bibliographic convergence that has not occurred in more than 150 years" when he gathered together copies of the first four printed editions of the Bible — including the famed Gutenberg — in his library. Only two other individuals, King George III and the second Earl Spencer, have ever accomplished this feat. Those Bibles are in good company, surrounded by treasures that include — to name just a very few — an early 14th-century manuscript of the Magna Carta, an original copy of the Declaration of Independence, Beethoven's autograph sketchbook, Shakespeare's first, second, third and fourth folios, and musical manuscripts of J.S. Bach, Beethoven, Schubert and many others.
Among those attending were, standing from left, President Emerita Shirley M. Tilghman, President Christopher L. Eisgruber and President Emeritus Harold T. Shapiro. (Photo by Kevin Birch for Development Communications)
Wide-ranging philanthropy
Renowned for his generosity and humanitarianism, Scheide has been a strong supporter of the University. Hundreds of young men and women have attended the University as Scheide Scholars. He endowed a professorship, now held by Scott Burnham, the Scheide Professor of Music History, and made possible the construction of the Arthur Mendel Music Library, named in honor of the late Princeton professor, in the Woolworth Center of Musical Studies.
His philanthropy extends well beyond campus, and has benefited numerous community and national initiatives and organizations. A passionate proponent of civil rights, he provided essential support to the NAACP in the case of Brown v. Board of Education, which ultimately desegregated the nation's public schools.
In 1994, the University awarded him an honorary degree in the humanities, recognizing him as an "advocate, scholar, student, benefactor and friend."

By Ben Levisohn
After touring the nation for three-straight days, the Fat Boys sang, they needed a vacation. The Dow Jones Industrials, however, needed vacation to end to break its four-week losing streak. And with all hands on deck now, the Dow climbed back above 15,000 for the first time since Aug. 23.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.9% to 15,063.12 today, its biggest percentage gain in two months, while the S&P 500 rose 1% to 1,671.71. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.3% to 3,706.18.
Why the advance? Why not? Data out of China was good, Japan's stock market is running with the bulls again after winning the 2020 Olympics and Australia has a new government.
Investors shouldn't get too complacent, however. Whether or not the Fed will begin tapering next week is still an open question, while the bombs may or may not fall on Syria. On the former, Janney's Mark Luschini argues that it's time to "rip the Band-Aid off." He writes:
Many expect the Fed to use that meeting to announce its tapering process. We hold the same opinion. But, at the same time, each weaker-than-expected economic data point along the way seems to embolden those who think the Fed is unlikely to start the tapering process until later in the year if at all.
It is this disconnect in expectations that may lead to increased volatility in the markets as the meeting date approaches. We believe that the Fed should use this upcoming date to start reducing its bond-buying program, even if it startles the market. We think the turbulence will be short-lived, as investors come to see that the economy doesn't require the Fed's assistance quite the same way now as it did before.
As for Syria, the issue could remain unresolved for some time, even if the Russians have mooted a plan for Syria to give up all its chemical weapons. And that, too, could remain a source of volatility for financial markets, says CRT Capital Group's Ian Lyngen. He writes:
Leaving aside the discussion about the wisdom of seeking buy-in from the Senate and House, we're more inclined to interpret the current breakdown of Congress' voting bias as a volatility enhancing event – rather than an opportunity to step away from the conflict. Said differently, the approval process looks poised to drag on beyond the 4-5 day initial estimate. Clearly the longer the voting takes and the more conflicting headlines emerge, the more choppy the price action becomes.
In other words, enjoy the fun while it lasts.
Earnings season may be over, but companies keep reporting. The latest: Pep Boys (PBY). The chain of auto-repair shops reported a profit of 10 cents a shares, well below forecasts for a 19 cent profit. Its shares have plunged 4.5% to $11.00 in after-hours trading.
PVH (PVH) has fallen 3.4% to $127.60 after the clothing retailer said it earned $1.39 a share, beating forecasts by 1 cent, but offered below-consensus earnings guidance.
Five Below (FIVE) has gained 12% to $45.90 after the teen retailer said it earned 11 cents a share, above forecasts for 9 cents.
Flow International (FLOW) has gained 9.6% to $3.99 after it reported a loss of 2 cents a share, below forecasts for a 1 cent profit. Profits were hit by currency fluctuations and a $1.6 million charge.
Casey's General Stores (CASY) has dropped 1.6% to $67.73 after reporting a profit of $1.43 a share, above estimates for a $1.26 profit.

After quite some time of my thesis (on interactive curve design) being stuck, I'm now making good progress again. You can check out the draft chapter on the history of the elastica if you like (soon also to be published as a Berkeley CS tech report).
I had a lot of fun writing that chapter, digging deep into the history of the curve and getting to know the old mathematicians like James Bernoulli better. My advisor is encouraging me to publish it stand-alone. Can anyone recommend a good place, perhaps some kind of history of mathematics journal or conference?
Next up is a similar chapter on the Euler spiral. Then, after that, I finish up my argument characterizing the entire space of 2-parameter splines, and I'm over the hump - the rest is numerical techniques and applications, which will require making a bunch of figures (time consuming but rewarding), but no difficult conceptual work.
Spiro is integrated with newish builds of Inkscape, which is awesome. Even more awesome is this YouTube video of spiro in action. (The author also has a three minute S using the original ppedit code; nowhere nearly as cool but still nice)
It looks like the word is getting out. There's also a screencast from heathenx. It's still only in development snapshots. I'm excited that when it finally starts shipping in stable releases, lots more people will get excited.
It's also integrated into FontForge, but sadly I haven't gotten much chance to play with it myself. These days, I'm trying to use all my free time on finishing the thesis itself.
You can also see Euler spirals (also known as Cornu spirals or clothoids) at NodeBox, and a nice project by Andren Novali using them. It's awesome that the free software community is carrying this integration work forward even when I have very limited time for coding myself.

That might sound like a dumb question. But I don't watch the show and don't collect the figures. However, I've gotten a handful of them for my daughter at various times (Dooku w/ Speeder, Ahsoka Tano, Asajj Ventress, Cad Bane vs IG-86, Shaak Ti, and Boba Fett).
Maybe I've lucked into her only picking out awesome figures, but I've yet to see a dud. With every one I've opened, I immediately find myself thinking, "Man, I wish the realistic line was as consistently good as the Clone Wars line." (I know that there are realistic figures as good, even better, than any CW figure I've seen, but there are quite a few stinkers in the realistic line, even in 2011.) I haven't noticed anyone else complaining, either.
Is Hasbro just putting more effort overall into the production of Clone Wars figures, or am I just lucky enough to get awesome figures and never notice the complaining about bad figures since I rarely venture into this forum?

We will rue the days of Sue, Pokey and Starkey.
This would be a big win for the Lady Tigers, but I don't see it happening. We are just too inconsistent on offense and give up too many wide open shots on defense. I am encouraged by Ballard and think she has been a spark as a freshman, but other than Plaisance there is just no consistency on the team. Webb and Lutley are so up and down and you never know what you are going to get scoring wise from them. It could be 20 points or 2 points. They were great in Gainesville for about 30 minutes, but over a period of 3 or 4 minutes let a 9 point lead evaporate with poor decision making and bad shots. I was one of the first on the board to suggest Caldwell as the coach and I hope she will be successful, but often it seems that we don't really have a game plan either on offense or defense. I don't see a lot of toughness in the team and they seem to fold in the face of pressure at times.

Thanks everyone!
Clover is actually well trained and stayed perfectly. Loki on the other hand...he's a pup...that was kinda lucky he stayed there lol He is learning though.

Hello Clover and Loki! You're looking gorgeous!!!
If each pet we love takes a part of our heart and replaces it with a part of theirs, my heart is a very strange collection of pieces, but I wouldn't have it any other way
Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go, and then do it. --Ann Landers
I really like the Holiday decorations. Very festive. They make a great background for the pictures of pretty Clover & handsome Loki.

¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I always feel guilty with these for thinking so, but I thought that Charles Durning (89) had already died.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Retired General "Stormin" Norman Schwarzkopf has died at age 78. R.I.P.
Huell Howser, 67.
This announcement will probably mean more to us Californians. Journalist-turned-travel guide, Howser was a mainstay on California PBS airwaves for decades.
Although originally from Tennessee, he knew more about California than a lot of natives.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I know of several places I visited in CA purely because of his shows on them. My mom got to meet him. I heard he donated his library of shows, memorabilia, and other items to a university. A nice, positive man.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Sad news about Huell Howser. His passing hits especially close to home for me, my grandfather passed away in October at 99, he couldn't get enough of California Gold with Huell Howser so the show resonated for me, and the show really was the man, Huell Howser came to this state and immediately fell in love with it, writing and eventually hosting and creating his amazing show that spoke so nicely and without airs or fancification at the world around us. Howser seemed like a really plain-spoken and passionate guy, his unexpected retirement last November was worrisome and now we know why. Too soon.
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.
My friends at work and I love imitating Huell's voice and enthusiasm. His show is pure educational fun. I always hoped he'd do a Comic Con episode just to see him in that environment. A true loss for for learning...
I was surprised to find out that Howser was an ex-Marine. It now makes sense seeing how buff he always seemed to be (especially in his early broadcasting days)...not to mention the hair cut, too!
Howser graced our area (Kern County) four times as near as I can remember for his show. Our local paper interviewed those with whom Hoswer contacted for stories and there was nothing but wonderful things said about the man.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Last night just before bed KCET aired an episode of Visiting with Huell Howser, he was in a donut shop I think in OC and absolutely enthralled in watching some teenager flip chocolate twist donuts, and he was entirely genuine about it. Check out this article that Tom Lennon (The State, Reno 911) wrote for KCET about Huell's passing, it's really good: http://www.kcet.org/shows/tvtalk/tv-...-internet.html There's several more articles there which are also moving in their own way.
I keep forgetting how talented a mind Andy Richter really is, he doesn't get nearly enough chance to shine, but reading this article he wrote about Huell actually brought a tear to my eye:
Oh, and check out this event, apparently the city of LA will be putting all flags at half mast on the 15th during a sunset salute to honor Huell Howser, that's an amazing deal when you consider how big and varied the city is, I may go to this event, I'm free on Tuesday.
Anyway, Huell Howser is an amazing and tragically unique person - we could surely use more like him. I had looked up his history for my grandparents a few years ago and they enjoyed hearing about who he was, but ultimately no matter how fascinating his story it was more important that who he was made it possible for him to do what he did that mattered most to them. Apparently Huell passed away from cancer, he didn't want a memorial or funeral or anything of that nature. He left his papers and the entirety of his show to Orange County's Chapman University, I read Huell did so not because he had a personal connection of any sort with the school but because when he went to the school's city of Orange to shoot an episode of the show on Orange, the president of the college wasn't able to meet with him for the show and sent a personally written letter of apology to Huell which impressed the man so much that an important university president would take the time to send a personal letter over something so trivial that he felt it was a place of character, so he started cutting at their studio and then donated his works including the shows to the school a year and a half ago. Chapman now has the Huell Howser Archive.

Welcome Back to the SMM Podcast. In this show I had the privilege of chatting with a great group of Scouters.
We have decided to hold a monthly "BOY SCOUT" topic chat session here at PTCMedia. This was the first, and of course as the host, I hit the record button once the chat room moved into Skype. What happened was Scouting Podcast magic.. well… maybe not magic.. but a great discussion none the less. I look forward to doing the future, stay tuned for more details on that.
In this show you are going to hear some discussion on the Roles and Responsibilities of Scout leaders, Scoutmasters and Assistants in particular, Parent involvement, the Scout led Troop and how they plan, and more. Joining me for the first chat was; Clarke Green, Miss Emily, Miss Liberty, Scoutmaster Shawn, Steve O'Conner, Kenny Jenkins, Kevin Montano, and Adam Cox. The result.. good Scout talk… kinda like hanging out at the meeting in the parking lot after Roundtable.
Hope you like the show, it is a bit long.. but when you get that many Scouters talking.. well, you know how it goes.
Drop me a note at firstname.lastname@example.com, leave feedback on itunes (we need the numbers to get Scouting at the top of the page) and of course leave a comment at PTCMedia.net!
You can listen to the show or download it here!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

|>> Archive: Striper (etc) Flies Tricks of the trade
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Bob Pink
RE:New Patterns: An easy sandeel and some shrimps
meanwhile I havn't done my reel maintenance, tied any leaders or respooled the casting rods...... I'm gonna get caught with my pants down for sure!
RE:New Patterns: An easy sandeel and some shrimps
Are you tying commercial yet? I heard in England that fly tying has it's own union.
Man, you're punching them out like a machine!
|Bob Pink
New Patterns: An easy sandeel and some shrimps
We know we need a sandeel in our flybox, we'll see how the shrimps perform right Terry?
The sandeel is mostly angel hair/ long brite tied around a core of stiff ultr hair. You might want to add a bit of softex to the ultra hair B4 adding the angel hair. Use softex to dress the forward third of the finished fly to keep it from fouling. Epoxy on the eyes.
The shrimp are a motley looking crew at this time but there is potential.
A. #4 hook, 10 deer body hairs, three strands of krystal flash folded back, two pieces of cheneniel (sp?)tan & white, tied above the point then wound forward building a tapered body.
B. #4 hook, 3 strands of krystal flash folded, 20#mono eyes, ice estacz (sp?) on the bottom of the shank, crease fly foam cut into a narrow triangle tied to top.
C. long shank 1/0 bent to match curve of the fingernail, 3 strands of SW krystal flash ( its a bit stiffer ), 40# mono eyes, ice estacz ( i really should learn how to spell this stuff ) wound from above point to eye. False fingernail ( shaped the ends to your liking ) epoxied to top of shank. Once the epoxy sets, sand E-Z sparkle body paint on the fingernail.
D. same hook and assembly, use a strip of tan zonker on the underside of the hook shank and some tan kinky fibre along the top of the shank to create a leading 'tail'above the eye and to fill out the "arms'

HRCH TTF Sehon's Renigade Zeke MH QAA. Not bad for British, Irish "FIELD" bred dog! USA training.
The name of the site is RETRIEVERTRAINING. it is NOT CarrBasedRETRIEVERTRAINING, or ForceBasedRETRIEVERTRAINING, or ModernONLYTechniqueRETRIEVERTRAINING, or FieldTrialONLYRETRIEVERTRAINING. Maybe the name should be changed, but until then we are all here because we like training dogs, period. Who cares which way somebody wants to train their dog, it's their dog and they will have to live with the results, NOT YOU. Why don't we all just support whatever way somebody wants to train and take our collective knowledge to improve those ways. It may just increase our training toolbox and make everyone a more versatile trainer.
Is just me or did anybody else find it odd that someone would post a quote from a magazine and not credit the author??

Thanks for the compliments. That made my day!
Will say however, that I wrote that a year ago, though it wasn't published til much later. Since then I've purchase and raised an American bred field dog who has proven to be born with the same traits I spoke of in the article. Natural delivery to hand at 7 weeks (even pigeons) and extremely trainable.
Also have learned a lot about force training in the last year and know that it is not what I first thought it to be when I wrote that article.
This thread has been a neat discussion. So glad to see the openness and civil back and forth!
Civil? Interesting. Guess is just depends on who posts the insults...

"The Greatest Obstacle to Discovery is not Ignorance -- It is the Illusion of Knowledge" ~ Daniel Boorstin
The pom poms over the R+ stuff and clickers is coming mostly from RTF newbs about newbs. It just seems naive to me. And at what point does clicker training quit being new? Here I am being naive, I just assumed that everyone taught basic stuff using marker training. Again, color me naive, but my lab from FT lines delivered to hand (not sure what this means though), was tractable and bidable...I assume most are. The people I train with rarely press the buttons on their ecollars.
I am also highly skeptical that anyone can develop a "new" training program to build a competitive field trial retrievers by training a single dog or patting each other on the back on the internet for trying. The successful trainers who have developed programs for the masses have experience training many dogs to be competitive in all age stakes. Should the lone trainer be so lucky and talented to produce a FC using the "new" method we will need to try it on several more retrievers to see if it generalizable, so we are talking about not knowing the results for many years.
What we need is someone who already knows what the end product is supposed to look like doing the experiments. Otherwise it is like my husband in the kitchen, wondering why the first cake he ever baked didn't turn out after he undermixed the batter.

This topic was touched upon in another thread but rather than cludder that up I've created a new thread:
This is my biggest problem with movies like this. Pearl Harbor was about the attack on Pearl Harbor. With that being said, how can someone rewrite it? Change the facts and it's no longer the attack on Pearl Harbor. Why not make a movie about the Doolittle Raid and rename Doolittle? If I had relatives who were participants who were decorated for their actions I wouldn't want a movie to take their story and assign it to some made up character.Originally posted by RooJay
I don't recall any of the promotional materials for this movie state that it was anywhere near an attempt at education. In my opinion, Pearl Harbor is simply a major, traumatic event that takes place during this movie (in spite of the title). I don't think it dishonors the memory of anyone involved with the actual event. In fact, I'd hope that it would help raise public interest and cause people to seek out the true story. The movie Tora, Tora, Tora might make for a good starting point for that.
Only one American pilot of 7 survived the Battle of Britain. His name was PO J K Haviland of 151 Squadron. No where is his name to be found.
Recheck that research. 4 of the total pilots to get off the ground got off during the first wave. Remember their were 2 total that day, 183 Japanese aircraft the first wave and 170 the second. All 4 were in P-36 Hawks. The USAF has an exhibit honoring one of those P-36 pilots, Lt. Phillip Rasmussen, who was given a Silver Star for his actions that day.Ok...ok, here's the thing: what I said was that there were only two pilots (I have done a fair amount of research on the subject, and I honestly have never heard of this hird pilot being able to lift off during the attack. Was he already in the air?) that managed to get off the ground DURING the battle. This is absolutely true. The two of them managed to shoot down somewhere between 6 and 8 enemy fighters combined; the actual numbers these two pilots shot down have never been confirmed. I'm sure there were many planes that managed to get off the ground later that day, but there were only two during the battle that managed to lift off. I'm also certain there were other planes already in the air (like the bombers you mentioned, though they didn't arrive until well into the battle, and had very little effect on the battle itself.
Additional pilots got airbourne after the first wave as well as during the second wave including some flying P-40 Warhawks.
Not every plane the Japanese flies is a Zero. A majority of the aircraft that day flown by the Japanese were bombers, torpedo and dive bombers. All of those types are poor air-to-air combat aircraft and were fair game for even the aweful American P-36.Likewise, any other military aircraft that were already airborn; no other type of plane was able to shoot down any enemy craft, and the japanese Zeroes would have flown circles around them.
23 of the 75 airmen involved in the Doolittle raid recieved Distinguished Flying Crosses. Rather than include those brave men in the movie they've been replaced by fictional characters. Why?
It would be fine to use the attack of Pearl Harbor as a backdrop for a fictional story. Saving Private Ryan used the Normandy Invasion as a backdrop for a fictional story quite successfully in my opionion. Spielberg didn't rewrite the story of known/decorated soldiers to tell his story. If you decide to make a movie about such specific actions in any historical event then you must try to honor those that were involved. Black Hawk Down is a perfect example of translating a historic event to the big screen. Band of Brothers is a perfect example of translating a historic event to the small screen.

I promised myself that I was not going to bring up Mike Vic anymore… but it has become an issue ripe with lessons. Today Mike Vic told the world he was sorry. And in the midst of his sincere apology, all I could hear was a guy trying to keep his head above water.
Sorry for what I asked? Is he sorry for killing dogs and running an illegal gambling operation? Or is he sorry he got caught?
My gut feeling is it is the latter.
He said he made a mistake? Nah… I made a mistake tonight, I forgot to bring two second class patches for two of my Scouts. Thats a mistake. Not a felony.
Mike Vic lied. He told his boss and the commissioner that he had nothing to do with any of this. Then to save himself from a long drag through the mud and a lengthy stay in the gray bar motel, he pleaded guilty.
Which is it Mike?
Then in just a quick month he "found Jesus". Well that I won't judge. But where was Jesus when he was killing those dogs? Oh Jesus was there, but Mike was not asking for his help then. I geuss there are no athesist in fox holes.
So what does this have to with Scouting. EVERYTHING!!
And in a single word…. CHARACTER.
You see, sometimes you can not have your cake and eat it too. You have to understand that you are accountable for your actions, good and bad. Character is how you act when no one is watching.
We say that we see the Character of our Scouts when they are on campouts. Away from Mom and Dad. It is a good test.
You can't teach Character, you can develop it and grow it, but Character is something inside that only the owner can control.
One of Scoutings goals is to develop Character. We do this many ways, and we have discussed them in the past, but one of the best ways to develop Character is by watching others. Watching men of good character and of course taking notes on not how to live from guys like Mike Vic.
Lying is contrary to good Character. It is a basic rule. I wonder if that is why it is the First point of the Scout law.
Mike Vic, Felon. That will be his title for the rest of his life. Bad judgement… maybe… Bad guy… for sure… bad example… without a doubt.
Mike said he was sorry. Unfortunately he said it under the cloud of Bad character. How do I know he's not lying now? Whats he really sorry for? I think he is sorry for getting caught.
While I can forgive and forget, I can't blank out character. Mike Vic gave it up and will not get it back no matter how many times he says he's sorry.
I am sorry to Lucas and Ely for not having their Rank patches.. those two can take it to the bank, they know my character.

Students savor school-grown sweet corn
Eagle View Elementary School students tasted home-grown sweet corn at lunch Friday, Sept. 20, grown from the nature center just behind the school.
Jim Minerich, who volunteers in the nature center and helped served the corn Sept. 20, said it took only 45 minutes for fourth-graders to pick around 1,300 cobs of corn from the nature center.
He added that as he was serving, not one student turned down the corn. Students were allowed to come back for seconds after they finished their other food.
Minerich said the sweet corn growing was a joint effort of the nature center and the PTA as part of the school's wellness and nutrition program.
The corn had to be replanted twice over the summer after the first planting was washed out by rain, Minerich said. The corn was purposely planted late, in June, so students would get to harvest it.
Last year the school grew green beans, but Minerich said corn was so popular it may be planted again next year.
He also said the school grew so much that some of the corn was given to Sibley Terrace in Pequot Lakes. Kim Wgeishofski, food service staff member at the school, said she cooked around 1,200 half-ears of corn for students Friday.

There limited shipments just fuel the scalpers more becuase they know that target will probably not get any more in. so they snatch them all up and sell them to the hoards off collectors that got jipped on a toy that was part of their childhood, and maybe would like there own kids to have and play with without having to pay 80 dollars for it. On the other hand Wal-mart will more than likely get several more shipments in a good example the tie bomber: i've seen it restocked several times at my local wal-mart. In part because the scalpers know that they will need a ton of money to buy all the tie-bombers that wall mart will restock. And to make it even worse Hasbro is gonna take the best ship off all time the Imperial Shuttle and give it to swartz or targets and make a whole bunch more collectors mad. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY KIDS WANTED THAT SHIP IN THE 1970 AND NEVER GOT IT? Please reconsider your exclusives, require your retailers to order enough units for the collectors and the kids of collectors who are trying to give the kids the ships they never had as a child.

A great new way to make backpacking a bit easier when it comes to meal time.
Check out this product, and no… I do not have stock in Ziploc…
But this is a great way to prepare your meal portions and preparation.
Just another idea to make your camping experience better.
One of the cool features of these bags is they can stand up, they have a spread bottom, so filling the with water or food items is a lot easier.
Makes for a great way to dispose of all your garbage too.
