MA Contemporary Arts Practice
Bern University of the Arts HKB
Masters Programmes
The Master of Arts in Contemporary Arts Practice is a multidisciplinary degree course for artists from the visual arts, the Performance arts, music and literature.
Read more
The Master of Arts in Contemporary Arts Practice is a multidisciplinary degree course for artists from the visual arts, the Performance arts, music and literature. Its starting point is the student's individual approach and choice of emphases; together with interdisciplinary projects it enables multidisciplinary exchanges with students and teaching staff from other disciplines.
The course aims to foster an independent artistic outlook within a framework of collective and interdisciplinary working interrelationships. The course of study sharpens students' individual artistic practices through direct engagement with other artistic strategies. A knowledge of current discourse in other art forms causes their view of their own work to change.
Degree Structure
The Master's degree comprises 120 ECTS credit points and is usually completed in four semesters. The degree is structured into three degree modules.
The degree places independent study and teaching, disciplinary foundations and transdisciplinary expansion in a balanced relationship. At the heart of the Master's degree is artistic production, which includes an MA project in one of the specialisations. The didactic combination of one-to-one lessons with a high proportion of independent study, the targeted consolidation of technical and theoretical knowledge of the subject and context in elective courses, and the exchange between peers and professionals in various networks and in the joint Master's fora support artistic production. Since in today's artworld there is almost no generally binding canon of knowledge and skills, perfecting one's art rests on individual decisions based on a wide-ranging knowledge of the dynamic state of the art.
Module Groups
Artistic Production/Master's Thesis (70 ECTS)
At the core of the programme, is the students' independent work on their own projects. This individual work is supervised by a personal mentor in one-to-one tuition. Students develop a deep understanding of their own authorship. They learn to present their work and to confront their own creativity with the strategies and approaches of other artists. In this endeavour, they are supported by numerous artistic personalities from the different departments of the BUA, as well as from the Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz in Basel and from further partner institutions in an international network.
Transdisciplinarity: Individuality in Context (30 ECTS)
The transdisciplinary aspect of the studies is largely based on the study of other genres' strategies of artistic authorship and by the search for common parameters for content and structure.
In lectures and seminars on contemporary art theory and media studies, common terminology is developed to facilitate communication about artistic strategies and production procedures beyond the limits of each discipline's specific vocabulary. The exchange among the different specialisations of the CAP occurs within the framework of tuition as well as in the interdisciplinary projects, but primarily in the common theory blocks, in the encounters with mentors from other disciplines and in the thematic project weeks that take place once per semester. Here, there are talks and practical workshops, transdisciplinary meetings, discussions, project and work presentations as well as courses on research strategies and scientific work. These block events not only heighten the understanding of one's own and unfamiliar working processes, they also prepare students for their professional future, when large projects will be realised in specialised artistic collectives and networks, which must be able to communicate across their fields' boundaries.
There is also tuition beyond the subject's artistic boundaries - on professional skills in economic terms. Students gain a basic understanding of how to set up a company and how to conduct self-promotion. This includes tuition about management, administration, law and copyright, marketing, project management etc.
Subject-related Theory and Practice (20 ECTS)
The third module group addresses the theory and practice of the respective specialisations. This includes courses on technical specialisation and perfection (for instance: composition, musical strategies, specific software knowledge, lighting, curating, exhibiting) and on the subject-related theory (for instance: lectures and guest seminars on contemporary art/music; graduate societies) as well as excursions and encounters with artists, institutions, clients, teachers etc. The various courses are open to all students of the MA CAP and the partner institutions, if they meet the individual course's requirements.
The degree programme culminates in the Master thesis. This consists of the public presentation of an independent artistic creation and the written reflection on the student's own practice. The written part can be conducted as a research project. Content and form of the artistic presentation, reflectiveness and relevance are evaluated by external experts.
Fine Arts
In the Fine Arts specialisation current developments in art and the historical foundations of art are the reference for students' work. Static and moving pictures in analogue or digital form, sculpture and installation techniques are options as much as conceptual and performative approaches or the treatment of social processes and documentary strategies. The course is notable for its strong engagement with the professional demands of sound, words and performative production. The Fine Arts specialisation collaborates closely with the Master of Fine Arts at the Academy of Art and Design Basel (HGK Basel). Students have a broad range of options from which to assemble the content of their studies according to their own needs. These are extended by the BUA's membership in the Swiss Master of Fine Arts Network. The discipline-related foundations for the Fine Arts specialisation are generally laid by a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts.
Music and Media Art
In this programme the main focus is on sound art, experimental and electronic music. Students develop compositions, sound installations or other sound-based art forms. In seminars and lectures exemplary works of sound art from the past and present are discussed and analyzed. We teach compositional strategies and approach the subject matter from a contemporary and historical-theoretical point of view. Reference to one's own work is a key focus. The aim is not to solely work on the development of one's own artistic practices, but also to acquire a comprehensive knowledge of contemporary compositions and art forms. In addition to the MA CAP program students can attend other courses, which teach practical skills in programming with Max MSP,hardware hacking, audio technology or interface handling. The integration of sound and musical aspects into areas like performance art, literature and fine arts has increasingly gained importance over the last decades. Hence, this study program intensively deals with the musical-sound aspects of different art forms. In the MA CAP the interaction between the visual, performative, literary and sound aspects, brings students from different artistic areas together, encourages exchange and enables collaborative working.
Literary Writing/Translation
Literature reacts to other arts, just as much as it influences them. Students hoping to practice their literary art in the field of tension of contemporary art production and its advanced reflection, find in the CAP a wide range of teachers and students with diverse backgrounds. Alongside this vibrant exchange and proximity, they work on their own texts of all genres, under the supervision of mentors. This constitutes the core of the students` individual study profiles. Something unique about the CAP is, that the work of the literary translators (with the source languages German, French, Spanish, Italian, English and Russian and the target languages German or French) is regarded as artistic production. The offers for translators are expanded thanks to a cooperation with the "Centre de la Traduction Littéraire" at the University of Lausanne.
In the sense of physical presence, real or conceptual action, performance occurs in various artistic fields. It addresses certain issues relating to body, space and time. Considering the transdisciplinary history of performance, we understand it as a varied and open field of general performativity.
Performance is regarded as part of all the different artistic disciplines united under the umbrella of the CAP.
As an active form and physical action, it resides within music, fine arts and also literary writing and occurs in close connection with these separate forms. In addition, the focus on performativity opens up new forms of representation, viewing and listening, participating, which the studies are supposed to explore in the practical work as well as in the theoretical reflection.

Master of Arts in Theater – Expanded Theater
Bern University of the Arts HKB
Masters Programmes
The degree programme is a specialised study curriculum aimed at people from a wide range of Theater disciplines and leads to a Master's Degree in Theater - Expanded Theater in three semesters.
Read more
The degree programme is a specialised study curriculum aimed at people from a wide range of Theater disciplines and leads to a Master's Degree in Theater - Expanded Theater in three semesters. During the programme artists from different performative disciplines learn and work together: actors, dancers, performers, puppetry performers and others.
The Master Theater is a laboratory in which different Theater practices are examined and investigated. The students deal with an advanced understanding of Theater that goes beyond the borders of any particular discipline. This not only applies to contemporary forms of Theater performances but also to the development and implementation of new visions.
The open curriculum and the possibility to individually shape the programme gives students an opportunity to develop their personal approach, style and aesthetic to Theater. They define their core area and decide on the subjects, topics and issues they want to engage in. Our ambition is to encourage the students' individual creativity and artistic authorship.
The main educational focus is on artistic practice. A project-oriented approach and working on the independent self-creative power are central elements of the programme. Moreover, it is possible to intensely devote ones studies to solely theoretical aspects, whereby performative practice is integrated as an experimental design. This is of particular interest to students who want to pursue further studies in applied research.
The degree programme is made up of 90 ECTS points and is normally completed in three, maximum five semesters.

Anmeldelser af denne bolig
Modtagelse, indkvartering og forsyninger var meget fint og stort set tilstrækkeligt.
Hvad vi savnede var nogle mindre køkken forsyninger som en coffeefilter apparat (vi købte en til 1,2 €) og en proptrækker.
Ingen andre yderligere klager overhovedet. Vi havde en meget nice ophold og vil anbefale lejligheden til alle besøger Lisboa i mere end 4 dage.
Reception, accomodation & supplies were very fine and largely sufficient.
What we missed were some minor kitchen supplies like a coffeefilter apparatus (we bought one for 1.2 euro) and a corkscrew.
No other further complaints whatsoever. We had a very nice stay and would recommend the apartment to everyone visiting Lisboa for more than 4 days.
apartment wonderful, professional service , I am very pleased - I would recommend to all interested !
We were in Lisbon for a Citytrip and had a great time. Ana is very friendly and helped us where she could. She also told us some Places we should visit. Thank you, Ana!
The flat is as shown on the pictures and has good connections to the city. There are also some restaurants around the corner. We would definitly book this flat a second time.
Nice place with good location. I would have liked some more cleaning in especially the kitchen and bathroom. A little worn in these areas aswell. Besides these minor imperfections we enjoyed the place and had a nice stay during our time in the city.
The apartment was in most respects what we expected of it. Reasonably large, good bed (but mind your head) and a quiet neighbourhood. Restaurants round the corner plus a small supermarket. We were happy there.
Two not so good points:
= no information whatsoever about the neighbourhood, we had to search for that supermarket
= the kitchen itself is ok but there is little gear. Example: no corkscrew, no bottle opener, etc. Not very handy.
Nevertheless our conclusion is: fine apartment, we liked it.

Ana is really nice and the apartment was good:)
We noticed some ants and the balcanony is really tight but it is a well located apartment.
Small store is on the ground floor of the building and across the street is a restaurant.
Very friendly!!
Nice apartment - not too far away from all..
We have enjoy our trip to Lissabon and we hope the next visitors are on the way to Ana.. :-)
Tina, Lea and Sven / from Odense (DK)
fantastic apartment! Ana is very kind and the flat is fondly furnished and clean. it´s situated in a really nice, not turistically, neighborhood with a lovely piazza in front of it. and there´s everything you need right by, a butcher, a little shop to buy fish and a supermarket. it´s just 5 minutes by foot to the wonderful principe real and about 10 minutes to one of the greatest view points in lisbon. I can really recommend it!
El apartamento y la zona son perfectos para pasar unos dias. Muy buena comunicación con los dueños para resolver cualquier duda. Recomendable.
Llegamos ayer de nuestro viaje de Lisboa. La ciudad fantástica. El Apartamento bien situado. Ana todo lo tiene muy bien cuidado, moderno, muy amplio y cómodo y zona muy tranquila. Las fotos reflejan 100% cómo está el apartamento.
Un pero, la buhardilla super coqueta pero tiene unas escaleras que hay que llevar cuidado al subir y bajar. Y muchisimo calor. Pero lo solucionamos dejando Aire Acondicionado encendido todo el dia. Pero de verdad si volvemos a Lisboa repetiremos en el Apart. De Ana.

German Guarding breed; which says a lot. Has your friend ever owned a German breed? Very smart, Independent, somewhat needs a stronger hand-experienced dog person, if there's no leadership they will fill the gap, can be a bit stubborn, but if you earn their respect, they'll do anything for you. Train them Young, establish who's in charge, and your good. I love the German breeds; they have a particular (prove that your worthy) mind-set, but you need to be able to control them, especially the big ones; because while they might not start anything, they will finish it. They are definitely not as forgiving as other breeds. Still my grandparents had a rescue Dobie for many years, I played with her even rode her around (from about 5 up). The rescue did a very good job, of socializing and training her. She was a great family dog, loving and playful with her family. She was a great protection dog as well, If Princess didn't know you, you would not come in that gate. Which is pretty much describes a Dobie in a nut-shell.

We had a pair (one male, one female) when I was very young. I loved them and upon reflection, they were very dedicated to us. Do you know of any reputable breeders they could contact? What health clearances should they look for?

They can be wonderful dogs but your friend needs to do his homework about temprement and health problems. I personallly would avoid blue coloration at all costs and much prefer the standard black and tan. Ear trimming is a personal matter but untrimmed ears are increasing more acceptable.
Had a Female when I was younger, still to this day one of the best dogs I have ever had ! She was very freindly and wouldn't hurt anyone BUT she sure would keep visitors to our house in there car till we came out to greet them! Although she wouldn't have hurt them she would make them think she was going to tear them up ! She was a great watch dog and loved all us kids.

As an insurance agent, I would make sure your friend checks with his agent prior to purchasing any of "The Breeds Listed"; doberman,rottweiller,pit bull, ect. State Farm is the only carrier I know of that doesn't have a "List' per sey but they can and will drop coverage at will for unacceptable breeds.

My Dobe fancier friend wrote me:
In terms of color, I basically agree that it is best to stick with black or red. The blues and fawns are "dilution" colors. While some breeders who get them swear it never happens to theirs, I have never known one who didn't have skin and coat problems by middle age. It is called color dilution alopecia (cda) and here is an article from the dpca (doberman pinscher club of America). Basically most good breeders do genetic testing to insure that we do not produce dilution colors.
It is called ear cropping not trimming. (Then she went a little ballistic. ...)
Yes, do your homework! Dobes are wonderful dogs but they are high drive and intelligent and thus not for everyone. In terms of temperament, different breeders often have very different ideas about what constitutes a good temperament so it is best to spend some time with the dogs. They tend to adore THEIR people and are only content when near them (often called Velcro-dobes). In terms of health, the big killer is dilated cardiomyopathy (dcm). Any breeder who claims that they don't have it in their lines is either ignorant or dishonest. The genetic test is not predictive at all. So, the only thing you can do is be sure parents have had annual evaluations (echo and/or holter) and try to look for longevity in the pedigrees. There are other concerns too, have a look at the dpca health site for more info.
Since this was on a retriever forum, I will add that dobermantalk is a pretty good forum for information on dobes.
I have trained about a dozen or so for guard dog and protection work. Took a two year leave of absence from a law enforcement career in the early 1970's for a Chief Security dog training job in the City of Chicago.
We did everything from home obedience to personal protection dogs, guard dogs for businesses in the City North to the South side. Anyway three of my most memorable experiences training Dobes I can't forget.
Dobe #1 a rather small 55 lbs male red/black guy was trained by myself and sold to a jewelry store owner around 6500 South and a bad neighborhood even back then. I would go to the store once a week and help the new owner with the dog. He had him leashed to his waist in the store. Couple thugs tried to rob him and "Spartan" bit one and chased the other out of the store, both were caught and prosecuted.
Dobe #2 was a 90 pound red male. He was sold to a "layoff" man in the City as protection. The new owner came up to the kennel on the Northside, wearing boots, gloves, three pairs of pants and a heavy coat! He would look the other way when I told him to have Hientz sit and then pet him. He was scared to death of the dog. We finaly got him mostly over his fear and gave him a few more lessons , never saw the guy again. Hopefully he protected him as he picked up his winnings. Dobe #3 was a young year old personal dog of a young Park Ranger that he wanted to train for police work. We tested the dog by doing some agitation work, even as I recall did some springboard agitation. Couldn't get the little guy to show any aggression. Finaly I lightly slapped him along the face, and back off as though I was fearful, nothing!
The third time and as I type can still see the scar through my right hand as be bit through the web of my hand, just wasn't quick enough! I guess Ranger figured he had enough of the crap from that hissing guy and getting slapped on the side of his head. He went on to many years as a trained K-9 for the park district and helped with a number of arrests. What all these guys had in common was high drive, very intelligent,
dogs as Keith indicated. Again these were older dogs from a year to about 18 months old, not young pups. Healthwise I am not familiar with issues although Spartan had issues from an enlarged prostrate and passed blood on occasion in his stools . I returned to my leave of absence job and lost tract of him. Have not thought about the above for a number of years, some fond memories and some not so fond, but, thought it might be of interest from a trainers standpoint.

Nanos all use FTDI chip for USB interface, yes?
vendorID/productID is built into the FTDI chip, nothing to do with the '328 that makes the board an Arduino.See page 15.
Can't see seperate chip? Did you look on the bottom.
Page 15 of the .pdf file I attached.I have no reason to believe FTD VID/PID is any different between chips.
Nano supports 8 Analog inputs, Duemilanove only does 6?

Cold, oxygen deprived
Cold, oxygen deprived
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.
About 10 degrees with little to no wind, nice conditions for a (nearly) 8 mile run I did around 3:00.
Almost feels like a spring day.
Sunny (albeit a bit hazy), and 58ºF. Nice!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
It's been sunny and warm here. Very nice blue skies and temps in the lower 70's.
Back to normal San Diego.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
We had a rain/snow mix this morning that turned to snow after temps fell. It's made the roads slushy and treacherous to drive on. We're supposed to get a half foot of snow between tonight and tomorrow.
Cloudy with just a hint of rain (only 0.02" so far). More promised tonight but not as much as we need.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Thankfully we're dodging the big storm that seems to be hitting a lot of the country.
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
We are in the bulls-eye. We already have a more than a foot and it's still coming down hard.
I don't think we got as much snow as was predicted. It's in the 20s now. The slush that fell yesterday is likely frozen with snow on top of that. So not really snowed in this weekend but I doubt I'll venture out.

The guns... They've stopped!
- Dan Akroyd, Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope
In the past, some posters here have lamented the lack of notice for the current year's day, so this year it is apparently on Sat. 5/3/08. Check out their site at Somethin' fer nuthin' for more details. Only SW items I believe are some mini figurines.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I'm going this year, I hope to get All Star Superman #1 at the very least. I'll be sure to hit the comic shop doors as soon as they open.
Treat your stepmother with respect Pantera, or you'll be sleeping in the streets!!
All-Star Superman (or A.S.S.) is a piece of crap.

I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Thanks for the link/info Bel-Cam Jos. I always forget to look and see what's being given out before we wander off.
Me and the kid will be making the rounds to as many shops here in Portland as we can, before we get tired. Which is usually after just two stops.
I live about two minutes from the Things From Another World over by Dark Horse HQ. They always have signings, so I'm excited to see what's going on.
The store I went to had a nice celebration in the parking area around the shop, which I did not know about. I'd called to check on the hours, and the person said they'd have food and costumed people, but this was more than that. Highlights:
- Feedback and Hygena from the Who Wants to Be a Superhero? TV show (got to talk to her more than he, as his line for autographs/photos was longer... donated some money to her charity [epilepsy, I think] by buying her "Hygena" logo soap bars)
- a local 501st group (Vader, some Storm and Scout troopers, Leia, Tusken Raider, Endor Soldier, X-Wing Pilot, etc.)
- found out there's a local SW fan group (Inland Empire Fan Force) trying to get SW Weekends at DisneyLAND
- a 70s muscle car (couldn't tell the model) in base gray as the Millennium Falcon (right side mirror was the side cockpit, front of hood had the radar dish, top of car with a quad cannon)
- lots of parents with kids, many posing with 501st-ers for pics :cheese:
Problem was, the only real reason I went there was for the SW miniature figurine... none available. Not even the Simpsons Bongo comic. Although I checked out another shop a few cities away, which did have that comic but never received any SW figs (they said :conspiracytheory: ). Anyhow, it was cool, stayed for about 45 minutes at the first one.

Not much going on at my local shops as it turns out. Terry Dodson was signing autographs at one Things From Another World, but other than that, nothing wild.
We managed to wrangle a pretty decent pile of stuff. Couldn't find all of the Star Wars miniatures, but got the Weequay Leader. (No Quarren, though we did get a Clone.) Also nice, was how the shop nearest to us handed over an Iron Man Heroclix to my son. Surprising since almost all of them had vanished within the first hour it seems.
As far as the comics, it's funny that you mention the Bongo book Bel-Cam Jos, because I only saw one at the first shop we hit, but managed to snatch it for my son. (As it turns out, it's the only thing he's enjoyed reading.) I picked up the Hellboy books... and that was about it.
Kind of disapointing how neither of the shops really talked up the event much. No signs, no explanations, no big Free Comic Book Day celebration, just a pile of stuff on the counter. The one TFAW was having a clearance sale, and that seemed to be more of a focus for them.
My local LCS limited you to just 4 free comics, though they did give me a Weequay mini.
My store had a really good day. Mid week before FCBD the owner contacted the paper just to see if they might put a little blurb in for him - well lo & behold they did a 1/2 page with photo. Apparently people were lined up to get in at opening!!!
I got there around 2pm, got my 2 free books (he had to limit, they were getting snatched up like mad so I got X-Men & the Marvel Adventures 3 hero book for my son), bought a few back-issues for 25% off and headed home. I'm happy he got so much exposure!

Swarmi, who's generally very reliable, posted this in a spoiler-laden bit - though I don't think any of the 12" constitute spoilers IMO.
Here are my thoughts:
Female Jedi 12" figures...
1) hope they are not made with Padme's body so they cannot stand up, or with Barbie doll bodies (which is even worse) and I hope their hands can grip their lightsabers. This has me very concerned that their bodies will not live up to 12" collection expectations.
2) their costumes: Bariss is much simpler than her former master Luminara's wardrobe. It's not shocking that they are not doing Luminara for that reason. Bariss almost wears Darth Maul's costume (in a sense) and Aayla barely wears much clothing at all (so I hope hers isn't sculpted on like Zam Wessel's were in parts and portions). The 12" Collection needs to remain integrity of its original intent: to provide detailed accessories and articles of clothing, along with maximum poseability in a traditional GI Joe figure size. Recall that 3 3/4" figures ONLY came about later so that Kenner could do multiple vehicles of differing size for the figures and keep them affordable. In Star Wars, the 3 3/4" line came about a year or so ahead of the 12", but GI Joe debuted in 12" and didn't do 3 3/4" until after Star Wars' success.
3) the character choices: Aayla is becoming a pop-culture icon for SW in the fan-stream anyway. Why? Amy Allen is promoting her character everywhere, Jan Duursema is Star Wars comics' best artist and Aayla's creator, Lucas liked her and put her in the movie making her the first transitional character to go from comics to screen. Again, why? She's a half-clothed sex symbol to put it bluntly. A warrior woman with her navel showing with such lack of character development (on screen) that audiences can imagine her to be anything they'd like (Aayla has a distinctive character well established in Duursema / John Ostrander's body of work for her in Dark Horse). But for many, the babe-a-licious Jedi exudes sexuality and all the fantasy that goes with that. Bariss is almost the complete opposite. She's the shy "home-school girl." Dressed conservatively like a religious monk, she can nevertheless "lean back" in Hasbro's 3 3/4" figure and provide a focus-point (or two) for male fans of women-warriors. This will not translate well into a 12" character unless she wears an extremely tight outfit (or Bariss' ROTS costume varies a lot from her appearance as a padawan). In the second example, it is gratuitous sexuality added for only its own sake to Star Wars. It remains to be seen if Bariss' costume change will do that, and then I can tell you if I'm interested. I'm a sucker for that gratuitous sex stuff. It's fluff, but added to special effects of starships exploding, that sort of thing, it makes up the rock-n-roll culture's requisite fill of sex and violence as suggestively as possible in a PG or PG-13 film adding to the overall evaluation "That it was a good movie because it had a few SECONDS of everything." I roll my eyes, but OK: I have to admit that still works for me. "The Babe-Watch Planet" would work in my book. However, in her present, known costume, Bariss doesn't work for me in a 12", though Aayla could.
That being said, there's more to this character choice for Jedi-babes or whatever:
These Jedi have been made already (besides Anakin and Obi-Wan):
YODA - Jedi Council Member
MACE - Jedi Council Member
KI-ADI MUNDI - Jedi Council Member
PLO KOON - Jedi Council Member
Adi Gallia would help along the Jedi Council Collection.
Depa Billaba
Are other female Jedi Council Members. Certainly Shaak-Ti would be a very interesting 12".
Aayla works better than Bariss in that category, but Bariss still works.
And they are cheap to not bring out Luminara Undulli's more elaborate outfit.
Jocasta Nu is also still available, and she has a very interesting wardrobe.
I won't even go into how many more MALE Jedi Council Members and Knights are seriously more interesting than Bariss.
With Aayla, I'll point one more thing out: OOLA becomes possible. The face sculpt and coloring are not the same, but with some easy alterations, Oola (with a 12" Jabba???) could seriously be a cost-saver product from Hasbro in the future. Forget Shaaka, Lin Mae, or Aay Vida, or Ann / Tan Gella (though Hasbro could sell 2 for 1 product there). Oola is clearly the most natural direction to take a tooling for Aayla Secura into following her mainline production for Episode 3.
That gives me some hope. You can't do something else with Kit Fisto or SaeSee Tiin's sculpting.
However, Sora Bulq (who's gone Dark Side now and works for Dooku) could have made a great figure and been also recycled as a Weequay skiff guard!
But I said I wouldn't go into MALE Jedi at the moment.
It's great they are doing the ladies. Aayla I'd want anyway. Shaak-Ti and Adi Gallia I still yearn for. Bariss I'll buy and like anyway -so I'm not complaining (too much).
Now, onto.....
Anakin -Vader:
Remember the 14-inch talking Vader figure? I loved that one so much I bought 3 and then got it again with Maul in the TRU 2-pack.
I bet they put a burnt-charred Anakin head on that and package it. (Still I'd buy it - pretty cool nevertheless - as a novelty)
What'd be better?
An Episode 3 (long hair) Anakin figure with Marmit-style add-on Vader gear (like ultimate Jango Fett) and a SWITCHABLE HEAD - so that when you make the Anakin-Vader, he's all lava burnt like in those make-up test pictures of Hayden we've seen (which are not positively proven to be Hayden - the makeup is so severe it's hard for me to tell).
Anyway, I hope we get the Ultimate Darth Vader (E3 Hayden version) with Jedi and Vader outfits. I'd pay $40 for that. (wasn't that about Jango Fett's original price?)
I suspect that Hasbro will market a regular Anakin figure in the AOTC costume with the ROTS hair for $20 though - as well as possibly a Darth Vader made that way too.
General Grevious:
This one really scares me. Grevious will be an EXPENSIVE sculpt for Hasbro to make, but such a central character that's visible in the line that he'll have to be produced for the $20 range to let kids start collecting this line as a bait piece to get them to buy Anakin and Obi-Wan.
For a $20 figure, we'll get (on a character like Grevious mind you) NO GOOD ARTICULATION! Grevious doesn't wear clothes, so rule that out. A cloth cape - sure. We'll get that. Big deal. Hope it's durable and has a nice sheen to it. Meanwhile, even if he comes with 4 lightsabers and blades, that's just recycled stuff.
Articulation is the only way to make this character really cool as a 12" (besides his size and originality as a centerpiece in your 12" collection). I just really worry that with the struggling 12" market (prior to the VOTC 12" which are over the regular price range anyway), that Grevious will not come out that good.
I hope we are pleasantly surprised by all these.

Nice play by Cueto...but that was stupid timing by Solano
For those that care UC up 20-0 at half.
Concern rising with Cueto pitching.
The most pitches in the league is not the stat I want to hear.
He's the ace....but has not been ace-like recently.....need the ace for any playoff chance.
Insane positioning...but nice and thank goodness....about smoked Cueto
Cueto officially with another turd. First Bailey in August now Johnny Walker.
Cueto has 3 weeks to figure it out.
Cueto need to miss a couple of starts, he is spent
I was thinking it's been a bit since Lee has had a monster shot against us.
Get Cueto out and get a plan of action for his maximum potential come playoff time....do not care from now until Oct 3rd what he does pitching-wise.
With Cueto at 197I, I may skip him and give Cingrani his next start. Then put him back out there for his next to last start and see if he is back.
Bailey gets a full week off. Talk about luck.
Right now Cueto should not be in the post season rotation. Dusty will never hold him out but he should
Homer 21.2 innings 1.66 ERA
Arroyo 19 innings 2.84 ERA
Latos 13 innings 2.77 ERA
Cueto 16.1 innings 7.73 ERA
Leake 9.1 innings 8.68 ERA
2 or 3 starts off. Cueto's chances at the Cy Young are gone now, so might as well start resting starters and using the Redmonds, Cingrani, etc. Luckily we have a big lead and can afford to do it. May as well do it with position players too. Give guys several days off over the next 2 weeks, and crank em up the last week to build momentum.

If you do, have you had those exceptions? You know the dog that drags through force fetch and then it "clicks" further on and he/she flies through more advanced training?

I've realized (yet again) that I cannot keep up with the pace that I've set for my life. I can't do everything which in turn makes me not want to do anything. I took a Zoloft this morning due to the fact that I felt the need to strangle someone (anyone) and remembered that I hadn't taken any for the past couple days. I also keep forgetting to take my Adderall which makes me not able to keep any focus. Today alone I've jumped from five different things in the span of ten minutes. I don't think any of it actually got finished either.
I hate not being able to function. It makes me sad, it makes me angry too. Most of all it makes me useless (as several of my friends and clients could tell you). Will someone PLEASE get me organized? I need help … and I need $$$ so I really need to get on the ball.

The recent violence in Libya will be a major factor in the foreign policy-oriented debate between presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.
The assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya promises to play a big role in Monday's debate between President Barack Obama and former Governor Mitt Romney. But don't cringe: for all the silly gotcha moments about who cried "terror" and when, the Benghazi attack provides a chance for both candidates to address major concerns about their approaches to a chaotic world.
The first round of congressional hearings on the Benghazi assault have come and gone. But they didn't focus on the crucial question of the strategic implications of the assault. Does it mean the U.S. needs to involve itself deeper in the Arab Spring; pick favorites within the uprisings; or stand back as the the upheaval proceeds? Both candidates have said a lot about the incident and practically nothing about arguably the most important questions it raised.
Benghazi was a major departure for Obama. Whatever you think of his foreign policy, it's been devoid of single-shot, high-profile disasters. There haven't been hostage crises, Marine barracks or Khobar towers bombings, 9/11s or botched invasions. He's succeeded when his troops have executed missions like killing Osama bin Laden or freeing Americans from pirates; and secrecy conceals potential mistakes rising from his drone war. The result has been a veneer of competence.
But several aspects of his foreign policy have either skirted on the edge of disaster or risk tipping over into them, whether it's the surge and ensuing the drawdown from Afghanistan; or his inconsistent approach to the Arab Spring, where he'll intervene in Libya but not Syria. Indeed, Libya looked like the successful ouster of a dictator with no U.S. casualties, but it turned out the U.S. neglected the warning signs of Islamist resurgence in eastern Libya until it murdered four Americans.

The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933) with Charles Laughton ran through all six wives in 97 minutes. By the end of the first season of Showtime's The Tudors — seven hours — Henry was still married to his first wife, Katherine of Aragon, and had yet to consummate his relationship with Anne Boleyn. So Showtime appears committed to the long haul — if the series really does intend to follow the line until Elizabeth breathes her last, then it could survive longer than The Sopranos and The Wire combined.
And why not? The Tudors (Sundays at 9 pm) has all the trappings of Masterpiece Theatre artiness: the detailed period costumes and sets, the impeccably trained British cast to chew it all up. There's even some nice writing in some of the speeches. But don't kid yourself: this is trashy costume drama, albeit of a particularly tasty sort. Yes, there is plenty of palace intrigue, a skewed history lesson or two, but the plot line is stretched most taut by the simple contingencies of sex and death. Who will Henry get it on with next, and when? And who's next in line for the bloody chop?
Michael Hirst, the show's creator, has already copped to wholesale fictionalization of historical fact in the service of melodrama. It wasn't enough for Cardinal Wolsey to die on his way to London to face trial for treason — Sam Neill had delivered too magnificently over the course of six episodes to be dispatched by mere illness. So he cuts his own throat. And it's Pope Paul III who excommunicates Henry, not predecessor Clement VII, simply because a new actor had come in to play Paul — and not just any actor but Peter O'Toole. Exit Clement, enter O'Toole.
There have been some historical niceties, however, like the depiction of the mysterious "sweating sickness" (not the Plague) that killed thousands and sent Henry galloping across the kingdom, never staying in one place too long. And there are the extended debates and intrigues over the king's "great matter" — his desire to divorce Katherine and wed Anne in defiance of the Catholic Church — including Jeremy Northam's eloquent turn as Thomas More.
Poor Jeremy Northam — he scored the juicy part of More but then had to suffer an acting contest by proxy when Paul Scofield (the Oscar-winning More from A Man for All Seasons) died at the beginning of the second season. Northam really does give it his all — diffident, impassioned, not craving martyrdom but willing to face it in order to save his soul. And this isn't Scofield's saintly, all-too-perfect More. "How many have you burned, Thomas?" intones Henry. "Six," answers More, a bit sheepishly. "But they were well done."
Meanwhile, there's studly Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Henry — not the actual plump fortysomething who pursued Anne, but 30, buff and bare-armed, fucking every maiden in sight, steam coming out his ears as one royal petition after another is denied. It's a bit of a two-note performance (anger and lust), but fun. And who can't sympathize when, trying to stay true to the supposedly unplucked Anne (Natalie Dormer), he struggles mightily to relieve himself with a royal jerk while a servant holds the royal napkin?

COMDEX down, CES to go... Hopefully, CES will be a little
less hectic -- not likely though. Things have actually
slowed down, but I had to cancel a 9-
mo. planned vacation to Vegas to do so. Sucks.
The upside was that I did get to spend time in Vegas at COMDEX (thus hanging out with the extremely cool Helix Code dudes), even though I didn't have any fun b/c I thought I was going back in two weeks...now I get to go again for CES, albeit without my wife, and to spend 14-hr days in a booth.
On the bright side, the payoff is getting to go to Deutschland for CeBit later next year...
...maybe I'll rent a BMW and tour the AutoBahn...

Whew. I recently sat for the CISSP examination. What a test. 250 security-related questions in six hours. I got my results Monday, and I passed, so its now back to cluster things.
I get to rebuild my 16-node VA cluster, but I managed to get on Scyld's new Beowulf beta program, so here I am back at the bleeding edge. Actually, I'm looking forward to playing with it, and getting a cluster that's, if not actually high tech, at least has all the latest and greatest.
Also started playing around with Mac G4s and AppleSeed. Interesting stuff. The G4 chip is fast. In crunching distributed.net packets, the G4/500 was 4 times as fast as my PIII/500. The 128-bit processing rocks.

oh, i'm 222 notes behind. there's 5156 total. the ten pages with the most notes make up 12% of that total.
the connectivity between the two php.net machines hosted at pair got fixed (duplex issues), so i'll be able to get back to the news.php.net stuff in the new year.
i've been chipping away at the user notes in the php manual. i was doing okay for a while in keeping up with newly submitted notes, but stopped for a week or two and before i knew it, several hundred had piled up for review. (unfortunately, it appears that zak and i are the only ones regularly keeping on eye on these things.) right now, there's 5797 notes. there were well over 6000 when i started.
i also flipped the switch on the non-subscriber self-moderation for the rest of the php mailing lists. hopefully this will cut down on the spam to the lists without resulting in more list admin work. one spam has already been blocked from php-general. whee!
i was thinking earlier today about how annoying it is that none of the (non-gui) newsreaders i've tried have a decent interface for handling groups from multiple news servers. (none of the gui-based ones i've seen do much better, but i'm really not interested in a gui newsreader to begin with.)
then i remembered that i have the guts of an nntp server written in perl that i was already planning to overhaul to use an sql backend for the overview storage, and realized with some additional elbow grease, it could probably be turned into an nntp proxy, too. it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to leave the door open for using mbox files as the news spool, too.
just what i needed, another project.
curious about why it takes forever to generate the chunked-html version of the php docs (in docbook, using openjade), i did a little profiling of openjade generating the phpdoc howto (a much smaller document than the 1600+ page php documentation).
10% of the time is calls to the assign method of the opensp string template class, 8% to operator= of the ptr template class, and 5% to the string template class's grow method. ugh.
nearly 8% of the execution time is going to reference counting.
i get the feeling my time would be better spent figuring out how to move the phpdoc processing to an xslt processor instead of poking around with openjade.
deekayen: people can get books for free at a library. they still buy lots of them. people can pick up free weekly and daily newspapers all over the world. they still buy lots of them. free counterparts exist for a great many things (and cheaper counterparts exist for nearly everything).
nothing too exciting to report. spit out version 1.0 of colobus when
nobody was looking. (it's an nntp server that runs off ezmlm
message archives used by news.php.net and nntp.perl.org.)
some day i'll get motivated to use a sql backend for the
overview database instead of berkeleydb, and build a better
web front-end.
for fun, i created rudimentary clones of metafilter and blogger, called conventia and gir. conventia was inspired by discussions on the php-mefi list, and gir by the blogger xml-rpc api (in fact, it doesn't have much of a web interface except to do things not exposed by the xml-rpc api).
buried inside gir is yet another xml-rpc library for php, which currently just implements the server-side. it takes a rather different approach from most xml-rpc libraries. some day i'll finish up the client side, document it properly, and release it as its own project.
so many half-baked projects, so little motivation.
i want to write a simple application using mozilla's xul and javascript that talks to a remote server using xml-rpc. there's xml-rpc support distributed with mozilla, but i can't get it to talk to anything. it sure would be nice if developing an application with xul weren't such a pain.
i finally packaged up colobus for release to the world. (that's the name for the nntp server for ezmlm mailing list archives.)

A wire-wrapped loop is one of the most secure ways to connect beads and findings. Learn this basic wireworking technique, and you'll be making jewelry like a pro.
Print these instructions
Products Used
Bead(s) with a center drilled hole
Head Pins
Tools Used
Chain Nose Pliers
Round Nose Pliers
Step 1
String a bead or beads on the head pin. Remember to have at least an inch of wire above the last bead.
Step 2
Using the tips of your chain nose pliers, grab the wire directly above the beads.
Step 3
With your finger, push the wire to a 90° angle.
Step 4
Using your round nose pliers, grasp the wire right at the bend.
Step 5
Pull the wire around the round nose pliers until it is almost pointing directly down.
Step 6
Reposition your pliers by opening your round nose pliers (but do not pull the pliers out of the loop) and pivot your pliers so the bottom tip is on the top.
Step 7
Continue pulling the wire around the nose of the pliers until the loop is completely round.
Step 8
To then wrap the loop, grip the loop with the chain nose pliers and grip the wire with your fingers.
Step 9
Wrap the wire around the head pin. Continue wrapping the wire down to the bead.
Step 10
Using the wire cutters, cut off the extra wire as close as you can to the beads.
Step 11
Tuck the remaining tip of wire with your chain nose pliers so there are no sharp pieces of wire sticking out that can snag on clothing.

China's Public Security Ministry has said that they should learn from the practice of other countries and impose 'astronomical fines' in corruption cases
Singapore: In a bid to send out a strong statement, the Public Security Ministry in China has said on its official website that the country should learn from the practice of other nations and impose 'astronomical' fines in cases of bribery and corruption.
The country is now mulling over imposing huge fines against British drug maker GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) for fostering an aggressive work culture that encouraged employees to create and coordinate a bribery network to boost sales.
The ministry further added that it was increasingly clear that the alleged corrupt activity by GSK (China) was not the work of individual employees but instead was coordinated by top management. This statement came from the ministry only a day after one-of-the-four arrested GSK China executives made shocking revelations to the police.
Mr Huang Hong, who is GSK China's general manager, said that the firm's corporate headquarters in Britain had set annual sales growth targets of up to 25 percent. In order to meet those targets, GSK China had linked employee salaries to sales volumes. Mr Hong also told the police that under the firms policies, workers could lose thousands of yuan per month if they did not meet their goals.
The company has been facing the ire of Chinese authorities for the last two months, after it was accused of spending $489 million (3 billion yuan) to bribe doctors and hospitals and to eventually evade taxes. Further, the company has been accused of offering sexual favors too to bribe doctors.

Despite popular opinion, I've never been a big believer in investing in gold. There's a reason gold is the currency of pirates, drug dealers and James Bond villains. I know it's smoked other asset classes in annual returns during the past decade, delivering gains of roughly 30% on average. But, like most bid-up asset classes, trees don't grow to the sky and the gold trade is definitely long in the tooth.
Up...up...and look out below
In the past seven years, the best way to expose yourself to the upward of gold has been through the exchange-traded fund (ETF) SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE: GLD).
Clearly, it's an extremely crowded trade. In fact, it reminds me of another crowded trade...
Yes, I'm talking about the venerable tech giant Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL). Only months ago, analysts were proclaiming it as the "thousand-year tech stock" that would climb to $2,000 a share and beyond.
Guess what? That never happened.
I know I'm comparing ingots to iPhones, but you can see and hear a lot of the same thought process among investors. Lots of people have an iPhone or iPad, and if they don't, then they probably want one. And because of this, nearly everyone wants to own the stock. The difference between gold and Apple is excessive optimism versus excessive pessimism.
Both can reach a tipping point.
Don't fight the Fed...
U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has clearly stated that the Fed will maintain its monetary easing measures until at least 2015. Because of this, investors are starting to brace themselves for the "inflationary Armageddon." And as we all know, gold thrives during inflationary times. These investors say the U.S dollar will become worthless because the Fed has no intention of shutting down the printing press.
Well, that's not exactly the case.
The U.S. government is not actually putting more paper money into circulation by printing new bills. It can't do that. By law, only the U.S. Department of Treasury can produce currency. The Fed's quantitative-easing (QE) policy is pretty simple. It buys all sorts of U.S. government securities such as Treasury notes, bonds and bills to generate liquidity to the market without having to actually make money. This also keeps interest rates low, since supply of these assets is tight.
The Fed's objective is twofold. Now that the banks have vaults full of cash (the Fed buys most bonds from them), these banks will be able to lend it out to businesses and consumers, thus generating economic growth. Second, by keeping fixed-income rates low, the Fed hopes to force investors and businesses to seek higher returns though riskier investing, whether through stocks or business expansion.
So what does this have to do with investing in gold?
Because the Fed is committed to its QE policy for at least another two years, and so is the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan. With all of the world's primary central banks committed to the same strategy, it will be extremely difficult for one tide to turn the other. The enormous wave of Weimar Germany-style hyperinflation may not happen for a few years, if ever for that matter. And if inflation is low or non-existent (which is the case now), then why would investors need a hedge against it?
[See also: "Why Warren Buffett Hates Gold"]
What are you getting paid?
My biggest issue with gold as an investment is the income it generates, or lack thereof. Having $10,000 worth of Krugerrands just sits there like a shiny bump on a log. The value fluctuates minute by minute. You have rent a safe-deposit box to keep it in or, worse yet, if you bury it in the backyard, then you have to remember where it is. Oh, and it pays you precisely bubkus in dividends.
But having $10,000 invested in equities linked to hard assets such as energy master limited partnership (MLP) Buckeye Partners (NYSE: BPL) is different. The MLP will also fluctuate minute by minute with the gyrations of the stock market, as well as energy prices. You may have to pay a commission initially when you buy the shares. If it's allocated in an IRA account, then you may have to pay a small annual custodial fee. But you'll also receive an 8% yearly distribution for taking the risk of owning the shares.
With gold, you're paid nothing for the investment risk you are assuming. You can hope it retains its value and possibly appreciates. However, I don't consider hope a compensation plan. Neither should you.
Risks to Consider: Like every investor, I could be completely wrong. The wheels could fall off of the whole thing and we could be heating our homes with dollar-bills tomorrow. This is very unlikely to happen, but we never know.
Action to take --> Buying gold now is a sucker's bet. The chart alone shows that. The price of the GLD shows obvious signs of technical weakness, making lower highs and lower lows. If you've already made money in gold, then it may be wise to take some of it off of the table. It's OK to leave some on, especially if it's the house's money. But otherwise, gold's run is over.
If you're still worried about inflation, then owning equities linked to hard assets, as I mentioned earlier, makes sense. But make sure you're getting paid for the risk you're taking. Besides Buckeye Partners, real estate investment trust Senior Housing Properties (NYSE: SNH) is one of my favorite picks. Senior Housing pays you a 6% yield just for showing up. In addition, you can capitalize on real estate ownership and a bigger, macro-demographic trend that's happening in the United States.
And if you absolutely feel like your portfolio must have exposure to gold, then at least do it by owning gold-mining stocks. One of the biggest is Freeport McMoran Copper and Gold (NYSE: FCX). The stock pays a 3.5% dividend yield and has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 8. That's pretty cheap based on the company's assets, plus you're getting paid 80% more than you would holding the less popular 10-Year Treasury note and 350% more than if you owned a handful of gold American Eagle coins.

Iraq war is focus of talk by journalist Ricks
Posted April 8, 2009; 06:17 p.m.
"Obama's War: Why We Are Stuck in Iraq" is the title of a talk by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Thomas Ricks set for 8 p.m. Monday, April 13, in McCosh 10.
Ricks, a special military correspondent for The Washington Post, will address the unresolved problems that are likely to keep the United States in Iraq for many more years.
Ricks wrote "Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq," which was a Pulitzer finalist in 2007. His newest book, "The Gamble: General Petraeus and the American Military Adventure in Iraq, 2006-2008," tells the inside story of the events leading up to the U.S. military surge and the role of Gen. David Petraeus in the current direction of the Iraq war.
Before joining The Washington Post in 2000, Ricks covered the military for The Wall Street Journal for 17 years. He has reported on U.S. military activities in Somalia, Haiti, Korea, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Kuwait, Turkey, Afghanistan and Iraq. In 2000, he was a member of The Wall Street Journal team that won a Pulitzer for a series of articles on the role of the military in the 21st century. He also was a member of The Washington Post team that won a 2002 Pulitzer for reporting on the U.S. war against terrorism.
The talk is designated as a Stafford Little Lecture sponsored by the University Public Lecture Series.

OXFORD – Former Ecru insurance businessman Ken Nowlin's efforts to clear his name were rejected over the weekend by a federal court judge.
Nowlin and then-Lafayette County supervisor Gary Massey were indicted in May 2007 on federal charges they conspired over the county's health insurance business.
Nowlin's firm held the insurance administration contract, and Massey worked for Nowlin as a consultant.
Nowlin pleaded guilty to one count and agreed to testify at trial against Massey. Massey later cut a plea deal, and they both went to prison, Nowlin for 30 months.
In November 2008, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed Nowlin's conviction.
Nowlin filed his motion to vacate his conviction and sentence in 2009. Massey never appealed his 36-month sentence.
Posted publicly Monday, Chief U.S. District Judge Michael P. Mills denied Nowlin's push to have his sentence and conviction vacated.
In his appeal, Nowlin insisted he was actually innocent and got ineffective counsel from his attorney, Tony Farese of Ashland. Farese maintains this is not true.
Nowlin also claimed Massey had permission to work for him, that neither of them could influence insurance rates at issue and neither took an overt act to further the conspiracy.
"Nowlin's arguments would be plausible," Mills writes in the 13-page opinion, "except every one of them is undermined by his testimony before the grand jury" and in documents he signed and during his plea hearing testimony.
In his plea hearing, Nowlin testified that he knew the payments were contrary to Mississippi law. He also conceded he paid Massey $551,000 to do "very little" consulting work.
The judge termed Nowlin's accusations of ineffective counsel as "without merit" as he dismissed the motion.

The best part is that, thanks to the servlet 2.2 spec, the binary distribution of jMarks is one WAR file and you just drop it in your app server and you're good to go (except for creating a directory for it to store bookmarks). It's pretty robust and handles multiple users - the administrator of course has an option of making the system public or private. Check it out if you need a central location for your bookmarks.

Council of Europe: Information Memorandum on Alleged Secret Detentions in Council of Europe Member States, January 2006
Council of Europe: Alleged Secret Detentions and Unlawful Inter-state Transfers Involving Council of Europe Member States, June 2006
European Parliament: Interim Report on the Alleged Use of European Countries by the CIA for the Transport and Illegal Detention of Prisoners
European Parliament: Text Adopted on Alleged transportation and illegal detention of prisoners in European countries by the CIA, September 2012
During 2006 and 2007, the Council of Europe and the European Parliament investigated alleged secret detention centers said to be used by the U.S. government for extraditing terror suspects to countries with lax or no human rights standards.
In January 2006, a Council of Europe memorandum labels as "unacceptable and appalling" the alleged American practice of secretly extraditing terror suspects to countries with lax or no human rights standards. The report, prepared for the Council of Europe, calls this "outsourcing" torture.
In a report released June 7, 2006, the Council of Europe continued investigation into alleged secret detention centers, concluding that the CIA rendition program involved a "network that resembles a 'spider's web' spun across the globe", naming fourteen European countries that engaged with the CIA in rendition activities.
In an interim report released June 12, 2007, a week after the Council of Europe's report, the European Parliament found similar conclusions, stating that the CIA was responsible for illegal seizure, abduction, and detention of suspected terrorists. It recommends that the US close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp.
On September 12, 2012, the European Parliament adopted a resolution regarding its investigation, stating "that counter-terrorism strategies can be effective only if they are conducted in strict compliance with human rights obligations, in particular the right to due process....[and] stresses that special procedures ought not to be applied to persons suspected of terrorism; points out that everyone must be able to benefit from all the guarantees included in the principle of a fair trial as laid down in Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights."

As a vintage collector, do you ever feel like you are helping preserve a bit of our pop culture, kind of like a museum curator? Like, these loose and mint vintage figures are in your possession only temporarily, and you are simply a caretaker until they move on to another collection years from now?
Sometimes I feel that way, looking at the few vintage pieces I own. I hope one day to be able to show them to my grandkids, and say, "In MY day, THIS is what we had to play with! They'd have these things hanging on pegs in toy stores -- see the price sticker there? -- and I'd save my allowance just to buy ONE Star Wars figure like this one!" LOL

Is this for the 24mm or the 30mm bottom bracket?
Pretty sure this is for the 24mm. The other is listed as "Chris King 30mm injector" specifically.
Is this for the 24mm or 30mm bottom bracket?
This particular item is for 24mm BBs and CKG0065 is the 30mm version.
Great Tool
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Extremely great tool, chris king would hit a home run adding this addition to there bottom bracket, makes changing grease a snap!
Nice to have
I like to do it myself instead of paying someone else. Good to freshen up the bearings every once in a while, and there is no point in buying quality gear and then failing to maintain it properly. Also, the silver nipple is a Zerk fitting that works with the Speedplay grease gun's Zerk adaptor.

Taylor Swift Channels Stevie Nicks In 'Marie Claire' UK
From the long, flowing frocks to her wide-brimmed hat, the star looks sexy and cool — the '70s vibe totally suits her in her latest shoot!
Taylor Swift looks like she's taking a cue from Fleetwood Mac songstress Stevie Nicks! The star looks so '70s in Marie Claire UK, where she shows off a slew of boho chic looks. Taylor ditched her cutesy feminine style for a more sexy, sophisticated vibe. Inside the mag, Taylor opens up about being cheated on — and how sometimes being scorned in love serves as the best inspiration.
With straight hair, kohl-rimmed eyes and over-the-knee boots, she seems just like a '70s songstress — and she wears the look so well! Do you like this side of Taylor, better than her typical girly-girl style?
