They seem happy, no gasping for air or damage to their fins so I think they're doing fine. I will rejoice the day when my tank finally cycles.
*I think I may be overfeeding, not that they don't eat every last bit but it seems like a lot. As soon as I open the lid to test the water they swim up thinking it's feeding time, even though I'm sure they're eating plenty. I'm using Tetra flakes right now but i'm going to start feeding them bloodworm pellets as well. Should I wait until the tank cycles before I start introducing new things to their diet?

There is no need to wait until the tank cycles to vary their diet.
Do not let your ammonia go above .25 while it is cycling. Ammonia of 1.0 WILL eventually come down by itself as part of the cycling process, but you can't let it get that high with fish in there.
Sounds like you are doing well overall if all your other fish appear OK.

I haven't seen the sick fish much today so I don't know if he's looking any better, he likes his hiding places. I really want to add more glass catfish to make my 3 feel more comfortable but while my tank is still uncycled I can't. As I said before, i'm not worried about the sick fish making the others sick, i'm sure it would have done so by now if it was going to.
I keep reading about other people's experience with cycling, especially with Tetra Safestart and mine is not giving me any of those results. Oh well, the saga continues...
I managed to have a good look at the catfish while he was feeding and I was really sad to see his condition. He's started to get some sort of blister/abscess on his body and they look quite sore. I decided to take more aggressive action and I gave him his first medicated bath. He was a bit freaked out but I kept the container covered around the sides and the temp just right. I haven't seen him since, he quickly rejoined his friends in the big porcelain temple I have in the tank ^^
I'll give him these short baths about twice a day and hope he starts to improve. He's still eating and swimming around normally. I feel so sad to think that he might be in discomfort but I know that I haven't caused it, he had signs of sickness in the shop and I wish i'd of asked the assistant about it but she hurried off so fast and I convinced myself it was just a marking that it had or maybe the other fish in the tank had been rough with it. The only bright side is that the other fish are looking healthy. Especially my glowlight tetra, they spend all day chasing eachother around. They also spend a lot of time apart and go off on their own which I'm guessing means that they feel safe in the tank.
As far as my cycling goes, I tested this morning:
Ammonia: 0.5ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
I figured my PH was a little high so I added some Tetra Easy Balance that claims to stabalize PH. It was free with the tank and I thought it couldn't hurt. Anyway I regret doing it now because it's stained the water yellow, It looks unsighlty but I think the fish may like it because it makes the tank less bright. I did another ammonia check as I do every morning and night and this time the ammonia tested 0ppm. I'm thinking it's mostly likely a false reading brought on by the Easy Balance, that or my tank has actually started processing ammonia..but that could never happen
Nitrite still 0 but I think i've already had the nitrite spike during the fishless cycling I did, I just don't know. Haven't tested for nitrates, it's usually between 0-5ppm, will check it later and hope it's shot up.
Sorry for the long post. Please interject if you don't like the sound of something I've been doing.

If your ammonia is now at 0 that's good news - may it stay there! If your fish is responding to the baths, that's good news, but if it gets worse & you can tell the fish is suffering, putting it out of its misery is better.

I hope I can cure the fish of the infection. They're really difficult to catch, they're certainly not lacking energy.
Almost 2 weeks have passed so just giving a little update. I thought my tank had cycled when I wrote my last post (well, I hoped. I've learnt not to get my hopes up) Anyway true to my usual luck, my tank suffered a nitrite spike about a week ago and has been suffering from it ever since. I woke up one morning to fine the nitirte at 2ppm and the nitrate at about 40ppm. I quickly did a water change and have been doing them everyday to keep the levels safe. I'm waiting for the day I wake up and the nitrite has disappeared. Shouldn't be too long now. My current readings after a 70% water change this morning:
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 0.25ppm
Nitrate: 10ppm
I can definitely tell my tank is maturing, the filter has developed this unsightly build up of sludge and so have the ornaments in the tank. The fish are doing great. Showing no signs of distress and they almost bite my hand off when I feed them. The catfish all showed signs of the fungas infection but after some medicated baths, they all seem to be clearing up nicely. I suspect they'll be healthy as can be once the tank has settled down. I'm sure they'll appreciate some more company of their own kind too but they seem to spend more time swimming with the glowlight tetra than they do their own kind. I'm hoping by next week my tank will have fully cycled. Then after a couple of days of consistency tests, I will add some more.

Lo and behold, the Missing Link hath returned! Or, quite possibly, "returneth". :-)
Damn! Two full weeks since my last diary entry and the worst part is that this is becuase there has been absolutely nothing to write for two weeks. :-(
The new G4 finally showed up and I'm a happy camper. My favourite email client, Mailsmith, is finally on hardware that can support it (it's a bit resource hungry) and I'm starting to catch up on email again. Will make a nice change to the last year or so when I've been keeping up on work-email using just Micros~1 Outlook and pretty much ignoring everything else.
Mucking about a bit, and asking a cow orker for pointers, I finally figured out that when Intel talks about the "PRO/100" Ethernet controller they don't actually mean the "PRO/100" Ethernet controller. What they really mean is "an Ethernet controller in the PRO/100 family". *sigh* The standard eepro100.o module won't work on my particular box. I had to go fetch a new e100.o driver from their web site.
When I finally found it, everything was great, but figuring out that "PRO/100 ne PRO/100" and then finding the requisite driver was a royal PITA. Anyways... Bygones!
This means I now have the basics for my new development system. I'm still lacking sound support (AC7 drivers, anyone? Alsa?), but I can probably get around that with a spare sound card I have lying around. I don't need that glorious sound; if I can play CDs without the more glaring artefacts I'm good to go.
The other snag is connectivity. The local Telco keeps promising DSL, but it has yet to materialize and dialup charges are killing me! If I don't get anything definite from the telco I'll have to buy either an ISDN router (Cisco 803? Low end Zyxel?) or an ISDN card with Linux support and use my RH box as a router. The latter is probably the best bet since I'll probably have to do that anyway when they finally roll out DSL around this dump.
In brighter news, I've been out flat on my back with the flu for the last week. You wouldn't believe the sheer bloodyminded malice of the bugs that are going around up here these days. I've been hurting all over and seeing pink elephants doing summersaults in my bookshelves.
How is this good news? Because I think the week of enforced inactivity has cured me somewhat of tendencies towards burnout that has been nipping at my heels lately. Now that the worst is over, I'll take my runny nose and only-occational-cough back to work and I'm looking forward to it. :-)
While I'm at it, I'm going to set a new precedent for myself. I've mostly ignored the tendencies around here to perpetrate Conversation by Diary up to now. Mostly because I don't usually have the time to keep up with recent diary entries, but also because I think it's a horribly inefficient way of communicating. Even a "Web Board" would be better, but a traditional mailinglist or a newsgroup would have been perfect. Anyways, I've decided to make an effort to keep up and see how it works out. So...
ian: Apple didn't include any of the GNU toolset in Mac OS X because rms insisted they'd have to open the whole OS -- including Quartz, Carbon, Cocoa, the works! -- if they did that. However, the tools are available in Darwin and you can easily get them from Apple's web site and install them on your Mac OS X box.

The stage adaptation of Legally Blonde is even better than the movie, discovers Carol Smith.
I'm legally brunette. But that didn't stop me enjoying Sydney's latest musical offering at the Lyric Theatre.
Legally Blonde star Elle Woods, played with aplomb by Lucy Durack, would snap her fingers and say, "Omigod you guys, you have to see it." And I agree. The high-energy show, directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, was a great success on Broadway and the West End and won an Olivier award for best musical last year.
Theatre-goers may know Legally Blonde as a film starring Reese Witherspoon, but the theatre version, although carrying a similar plot line, is much better.
At first you may not like this Delta Nu sorority "it girl", whose sole purpose in life seems to be shopping in heels (with her designer handbag dog) and waiting for a big rock from her smarmy boyfriend, Warner Huntington III, well acted by Rob Mills.
But the girl whose signature colour is pink - "whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed" - is about to have her heart broken. Warner tells his "Pooh Bear" that he has to break up with her because she is not serious enough to be in his future, which includes going to Harvard Law School and finding a privileged, preppy girlfriend.
Despite this setback, our prom queen remains positively in the pink as she decides to qualify for Harvard Law School herself and win her sweetheart back. What follows is an infectious, hilarious ride through many all-dancing, all-singing numbers.
When Elle visits unlucky-in-love hairdresser Paulette, played by Helen Dallimore, to get her hair dyed brunette so people will take her more seriously, we are treated to one of the show's best numbers. Ireland is a fantastic song performed by Dallimore (who originated the role of Glinda in Wicked), who steals the show every time she is on stage with her big personality, great vocal chops and wacky costumes. Her future love interest, the UPS delivery man, also has a quirky cameo role.
Durack and Dallimore work the stage well together and the audience begins to see that Elle is not so shallow and has a heart of gold. Elle teaches Paulette the Bend and Snap, which she guarantees will win over any man. If you want to learn this flirty technique, WikiHow will show you in seven easy steps.
Elle is determined to prove she is smart and I warmed to her character when super sweet Emmett Forrest, played by David Harris, helps her get her head out of fashion magazines to hit the books, and the way she defends a fitness guru who is accused of murdering her husband: "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands. They just don't!" she exclaims.
She's not the normal Harvard Law School student and this show is far from reality. But that's why it works. It doesn't take itself seriously and the cast are happy to poke fun at themselves and show the audience a good time.
If you don't leave this show with a smile on your face after being entertained for more than two hours, then Omigod, you must be a Prep.
Getting there: Virgin Australia connects from Auckland to Sydney.
Where to stay: Sebel Pier One is a luxury hotel set on Sydney Harbour in The Rocks district.
Further information: Legally Blonde is playing at the Lyric Theatre, Star building.
Carol Smith was a guest of Destination NSW and Virgin Australia.

Forum looks at future of transportation
Posted February 26, 2009; 01:55 p.m.
"Transportation and Infrastructure Issues for the Next Decade" is the subject of a forum scheduled for 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Friday, March 6, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
The current federal surface transportation bill -- which provides funding for expansion and repair of roadways, bridges and rail systems -- expires in September. The country's transportation infrastructure is plagued by congestion, deferred maintenance, and outdated and insufficient systems and infrastructure. At the same time, it faces new challenges related to energy, the environment and public health.
The forum will explore the status of the next surface transportation authorization legislation, opportunities for new financing sources and ways to link transportation to broader policy goals in energy, health and the environment.
Panelists will include the commissioners of transportation from New York City and the states of New York and New Jersey, as well as speakers from the Surface Transportation Policy Partnership, the Brookings Institution, the American Association of State and Transportation Officials and the Environmental Defense Fund.
A full schedule can be found online. The forum is open to the public, but registration is required. For further information, contact Georgette Harrison.
The forum is sponsored by the Policy Institute for the Region in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, along with the Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University and the Wagner Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management at New York University.

By Dimitra DeFotis
With weak demand in China for metallurgical coal, used to produce steel, Raymond James ratcheted down its projections for coal prices and five large U.S. coal players.
The result has knocked down shares of one of the smallest public players, James River Coal (JRCC), the most; its shares have lost 11.5% of their value today. James River may need a cash infusion next year "to ensure their survivability in our more bearish environment," Raymond James writes.
Another small operator and met-coal pure-play, Walter Energy (WLT), is down nearly4.3%. Among the larger companies, Arch Coal (ACI) and Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) are off about 3% apiece. Peabody (BTU), the largest player with a market value of $5 billion, is down 1%.
Coal stocks have been crushed by economic weakness and attention to cleaner-burning natural gas as an alternative. U.S. natural gas prices fell this week as production and storage builds. In late may, coal stocks briefly moved higher when one bankrupt player, Patriot Coal (PCXCQ) received court approval to cut labor costs and shift retirement liabilities. (See our post here.)
Saying coal supply growth has been resilient despite weak demand, Raymond James lowered its 2013 coal price forecast to $160.50 from $174.24, and moved its 2014 estimate to $165 from $196.25.
Raymond James also lowered its rating on Peabody to Market Perform, even though it is "better positioned" than smaller peers, with a stronger balance sheet and business in Australia. It also lowered Arch, Alpha, James River and Walter to Underperform. Raymond James writes that the companies have plenty of debt on their balance sheets, so if coal prices remain stubbornly low, they will need to extend bond maturities.

Artist Chuck Close to discuss his work, Oct. 9
Posted October 2, 2003; 04:37 p.m.
Painter and printmaker Chuck Close will show slides and talk about his work at 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9, in McCosh 50.
Close is widely credited with renewing the fields of both portraiture and painting. His works often begin with a photograph onto which he has imposed grid lines. He then reproduces all the individual squares in a new medium, sometimes a print, sometimes a large, often colorful painting.
Close's art was the subject of a major retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in 1998. This winter the Metropolitan Museum of Art will host an exhibition of his prints. The Princeton University Art Museum collection includes two of his works.
The event is hosted by the Humanities Council , where Close is serving as a Belknap Visitor in the Humanities. Entrance to the room on Oct. 9 will begin at 4:30 p.m. for holders of Princeton University ID cards. General admission will take place at 4:45 p.m. The event will be simulcast on the University cable television channel.

The Pelco Sarix IME319-IES network camera from Pelco/Schneider Electric is part of a line featuring several types of indoor and outdoor models available in ceiling-, surface- or pendant-mount designs. There are four levels of image resolution offered in the product line starting with a 0.5MP (megapixel) imager on the entry model and progressing with 1MP, 2MP and 3MP versions, the latter being the model I reviewed.
The IME319-IES is the environmental version of the Sarix Series and is designed for extreme weather (-40⁰ to 122⁰ F) operation. This range would allow it to be installed in cold-weather applications such as commercial freezers. The camera assembly has a heavy aluminum base and there is a solid feel to the camera's design. The installation manual cautions users to be wary of the camera assembly's aluminum base as it may heat up during operation, which isn't too unusual as most IP cameras tend to have heat generated and dissipated through the base but it is something to remember when servicing the camera. The camera's mounting components are also equally solid in their design and feel. The Sarix IME319-IES is shipped in three separate parts: the camera assembly, the mounting base and the clear polycarbonate dome. The base is designed to be mounted to a standard 4x4 electrical box or it can be piped with .-inch electrical conduit through the supplied openings on the base. When properly mounted the enclosure is IP-66 and NEMA 4 rated.
Pelco Sarix IME319-IES
- Network IP camera
- Designed for hazardous environments
- Solid construction
- Easy to install and configure with different mounting options
- Wide temperature range
- Proprietary software requirements
- Field of view adjustments difficult
Like most network cameras today, the IME319-IES is designed to be powered via PoE through its RJ-45 network connector. This provides a simple "one-wire" solution for the installer when mounting the unit in its location. The camera can also provide two-way audio through the use of an eight-pin connector plug supplied with the unit. This connector will also allow the installer to provide a relay and alarm connection for locations that require additional utilization of the camera's software functions. There is also a built-in slot for a Micro SD memory card to allow remote video storage at the camera assembly, useful should the network connection be lost. The video server (if so equipped) would be able to recover any lost frames from the Micro SD card and maintain a continuous video stream on the server. The IME319-IES is designed to provide multiple video streams (H.264 and MJPEG) and is designed for seamless integration to the Pelco Endura and Digital Sentry systems. The camera's built-in analytics can provide alerts when motion is detected in a set area and when the camera lens has been obstructed or moved from its original position. This feature would be good in an area where vandalism with spray paint is an issue.

White tramples Minnesota in 38-13 win by Wisconsin
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - James White raced 15 times through Minnesota's defense for 175 yards rushing and three touchdowns, carrying Wisconsin to a 38-13 victory over Minnesota on Saturday, the ninth straight time the Badgers have beaten the Gophers to keep Paul Bunyan's Axe.
Montee Ball let his partner steal the show for most of the afternoon but still muscled his way for 166 yards on 24 attempts and two fourth-quarter scores to put the game out of reach and push the Badgers (6-2, 3-1 Big Ten) to their 21st win in a row at Camp Randall Stadium. That's one behind LSU for the longest current streak in major college football.
Freshman Philip Nelson was the surprise starting quarterback for the Gophers (4-3, 0-3). He threw two touchdown passes, but the Badgers turned one interception into a third-quarter field goal. Three plays after the second pick, Ball scored his second touchdown.

I have done every available test on my dog, and will continue to do so as new ones become available.
While he still may produce an unhealthy puppy or two at some point, at least I will know it was not because I failed to make use of simple testing that is available. I would be horrified to find out a "defective puppy" could have been prevented if I had only bothered to do a simple blood test.

This thought has crossed my old and feble mind--- If we, as humans were as careful when we breed ourselves as we are when we breed our animals, there would not be a problem with overpopulation in this world and maybe we would have a more inteligent group sitting in our Capitol. Just a thought from an 83 year old, no longer in the "stud" pool. Bill
'Show up for work, do the best job you can and treat others the way you would like to be treated'
On a serious note, common sense on the part of the breeder and the dog owners has to come into play. There is a big difference between a dog that carries a particular gene and one that is affected by that genetic trait. Education needs to go hand in hand with the genetic testing.

My guess is that they don't *have* to, Unleashed 7" was created to capture the teenagers who had lost interest in Star Wars, to get them back into the brand. Transformers isn't really lacking in any markets right now, and they even have sub-licensed the brand for statues and busts. Plus, what could a static line emulate? The toys alone? That's of course not necessary. The original TV show? As much as there is fanboy interest in it, I don't think the DVDs are selling so hot at this point that it would warrant an expensive line like that? The original movie? While we are upon the 20th anniversary of it, I don't think the buildup has been enough to garner mass-release interest in a TF:Unleashed line. The new movie? Maybe, but that's a year away. The new shows? Hardly! RiD, Armada, Energon, Cybertron, they're not inspiring.
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.

Could be bots that won't be named until right before/after the movie is released, or could be unknown regular characters. Time will tell.

One of the things that struck me about the toys being reviewed is the difference time can make. Modern toy collectors have a wealth of information available to them. Prototype and product pictures usually surface online months before toys hit the shelves, and often, case assortments are posted, allowing collectors to know not only what toys are shipping, but how they are shipping.
As such, a collector is unlikely to be suprised at all by what they find. In some cases, buying the toy can often seem redundant.
In contrast, 10 years ago, toy collecting was haphazard, and finding or missing waves of toys hinged on when one went to the store. The advantage was that one might just find a new and interesting toy. The downside was that one was more likely to miss interesting toys. While modern collectors are unlikely to be be suprised, they are unlikely to miss anything.
Like most collectors, I generally appreciate the advanced information available. And, on some occasions, I am still suprised not only by what I find, but how much better the actual product is compared to the early pictures. On a recent, and sweltering night, I decided to check a local store to update product listings. For the sake of irony, I assumed I would find the (thus far rare) Menasor figure. (I ordered one from a collector in California, so of course, I can assume one will turn up before mine arrives.)
No Menasors to be found. But, there were Beast Wars leaders, and remnants of a recent wave of Cybertron toys.
The Leaders: Both toys are packaged as the earlier anniversary figures (all recolors of old toys) were, but with 2 major differences. Rather than a single episode DVD and a piece of a larger toy, the leaders are packed with a small reprint of the recent IDW Beast Wars comic, and a small PVC of their respective ships from the old cartoon. The comic is a lack-luster offering. Besides the fact it was never good to begin with, the pages did not re-size well. Of course, making the comic harder to read may be a good thing.
Megatron w/ Predacon ship:
The t-rex mode is incredible. The sculpt and proportions do an excellent job of conveyeing the fact that dinosaurs were bird-like more than lizard-like. In terms of engineering, the transform is an inversion of the original dino-Megatron from '96. The only real flaw with the toy can be found here, in that several of the joints rely heaviy on the plastic tolerances, rather than any peg/socket system. Should these pieces become loose, the toy will be functionally broken. Despite being a US exclusive mold, the robot form looks very Japanese. The legs are excessively long, and the arms are a bit on the short side. (I tend to think this is intentional, in order to keep a consistent "dino" aesthetic. One of the more noteable differences between the original Megatron and this one is the tail-cannon on the left hand. On the old toy, the tail was permanently attached. The new Megatron's tail cannon is removable. Inserting a plastic key reveals a spring loaded cannon.
The Predacon ship is a well molded PVC. The plastic quality is good. And, the underside of the ship has more detail (painted and sculpted) than many other toys have on their primary surfaces. The main downside is the shade of green used. While there is a credible arguement to make that green is the correct color for this mold, the shade used is far too bright.
A/B Not a perfect set, but it does a good many things well, including some interesting bits of engineering.
Optimus Primal:
The main selling point of this toy is the fact that it combines traits from previous renditions of the character. The engineering is primarily evocative of the early Beast Machines toy from '99. Additionally, some of the aesthetic touches (the beast hands, and the sculpted jets on the back) are similarly evocative. The colors are mostly derived from the first gorilla form. A detachable hover-board (usable only in beast form) is clearly inspired by the second gorilla form (from '97), the head sculpt splits the difference between the "Optimal" and bat forms. The problems with this toy are mostly in the execution, not the concept. A few more points of articulation would have greatly improved the beast form. And, the sigil (painted on the port beast-buttock) is jarring, and seems placed to inspire rude humor from collectors. Along similar lines, the beast mode's gorilla chest winds up on the robot's backside, allowing for more lewd jokes for collectors who are so inclined. The hover-board has a key-accessible missile launcher. The instructions show the toy holding the board like a gun, but the two pieces do not really connect solidly.
The Axalon is much closer to the correct color than the Predacon ship, but is a bit too light. The molding is solid enough, and people who are overly troubled by the colors can easily fix them with a bit of paint.
B This set had much more potential than Megatron, but it also fails to deliver on more.
This is a recolor, based on the original mold for the character used in late '02 (and several times since). Time has either been very kind to the original molding, or it has been restored. (Either case is plausible. I have a toy cast from the mold in late '03, and this more recent one looks cleaner. But, I have a hard time seeing Hasbro spending time and money to touch up an old mold.) While the mold itself has held up well, other changes made to the toy have harmed it. This is the first release of Demolishor's tank/bot form to lack a Minicon. While the inclusion of smaller Minicon figures (presented as assistants and slaves to the larger characters) became common in '02, Demolishor's worked especially well both in terms of aesthetics, and engineering. For whatever reason, Hasbro elected to remove the Minicon, and replace it with a key piece, similar to the ones included with most current toys. The key included with Demolishor has an extra socket piece, allowing it to function partially as a Minicon would. Mechanically, it serves just as well when unlocking the two-stage spring loaded gimmick (as impressively engineered now as it was 4 years ago). But, in terms of aesthetics, the key falls flat. And, some gimmicks on Demolishor are disabled without the specific Minicon the toy was designed to connect to.
An interesting aside is the character profile on the back of the package. It seems to over-write the Energon series, and portions of Armada. This is consistent with recent moves by Hasbro to use the "package story" to clean up and clarify inconsistencies in the story.
C/D While the tank and robot forms are still worth-while, and the jungle camo scheme is one of the better paint applications seen on this mold, the lack of a Minicon (that could easily have been included) hurts this set.
Optimus Prime:
Much like Demolishor, this is a recolor of an older mold, and used to have a Minicon. Like Demolishor, Prime's mold has held up well over the years. The new colors actually preferable to previous uses of this mold (regardless of character). The lack of a Minicon does not hurt Prime as much as it hurts Demolishor for 2 reasons. One is the fact that Prime's Minicon was a pretty shoddy offering to begin with. The other is that Prime has no Minicon specific gimmicks that cannot be activated by using the included key (similar in design to Demolishor's). And, the gimmick is as lame as ever. It is either supposed to be a rapid punching action, or shoulding spasms. I still cannot figure it out. The biggest specific failure of the key when compared to the old Minicon figure is that it cannot convert into a weapon accessory for Prime. All this release of Prime has is the wrist blasters (aka the truck's exhaust pipes).
B/C A solid effort, and the new color applications make this toy worth a look, if not worth purchasing. The lack of a Minicon, while annoying, is not as bad as with Demolishor.
-found Menasor today, and will post a review sometime next week.
6 inch Titanium's have been found at Target in California, retailed for $14.99 so I was pretty close on my guess.
Speaking of Titaniums, I spotted the smaller Unicron and Optimus at a Fred Meyer (a Kroger store) here in PDX tonight. They looked OK, but the paint was a bit loose, so I'm not calling them great.

I got theMTT at Wal-Mart!
I will not be sure I'll be able to afford it this month, so I am not opening it yet. It's a huge (lengthwise) box and looks great. It's heavy too, so I think there's a toy inside the box.
It was $128 at Wal-Mart. Having it sealed for the moment is also a good idea in case there's a sale or price drop.
I found it once before, late last week. They had 2 on the shelf at the time. I think I bought the same exact one I saw last week.
While I love this vehicle - and that the bad guys get a huge vehicle (there's only really the BAT-AT and if you count Slave-One's new larger mold *COUGH we need a sailbarge COUGH* - I wonder if sales will be poor? This is a TPM vehicle and that movie has proven to be the worst-seller. But the inclusion of 20 Battle Droids might be an attraction. [Obi-Wan should have his Jedi robe for that scene but it doesn't look like he comes with it.]
Anyway, I hope I can hold on to it. I have to take my cat to the vet's. Pay my own medical bills. I've got a Civil War battle in Huntington Beach I'm in. Baseball fees for my team's field use and the umpire's dues. And I've got a gunfighter competition with food, ammo, and entry fees out in the inland desert this month. Plus I have to run the air conditioning 'cause it's hot! Oh, and I always have continuing expenses as I get started with my business as a writer, plus my Masters Degree program will be starting up again here shortly.
I also got the Ewoks 5-pack at Toys R Us. I'll be able to keep them for sure. They were $40 - but that works out to $8 a figure and they include extra hoods and weapons. I turned down the Rebel Pilot pack. I'm not trying to collect all the pilots of Red and Gold Squadron. [Of course I want A LOT of Rogue Squadron, from the comics, too - but that's a different story and more Exp. Univ. figures for the most part.]
Anyway, K-Mart is across the street from my place and I could walk there. I'll have to check on their Ewoks. I've no plans to buy the AT-ST crew however. Don't need them.

Research Interests
We study the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in malignancies including lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and gastric cancer. Molecular and immunologic techniques are used to evaluate EBV gene expression, to localize viral products to lesional tissue, and to evaluate interactions between EBV and cellular gene products. Gene expression profiling is explored to categorize lesions in a way that facilitates diagnosis and management of affected patients. Tests used to assist in classification and monitoring of EBV-related malignancies include EBV viral load assays to monitor tumor burden in blood and cerebrospinal fluid, EBER in situ hybridization and other histochemical methods to detect and localize EBV in paraffin embedded tissues or cytologic specimens, and next generation sequencing to detect viral genes and gene products in concert with somatic variants in tumor tissue. A related focus of clinical research is on use of genomic technology in diagnostic pathology, with the aim of improving diagnosis and treatment of patients with cancer, inherited disease, and infectious disease.

Foreign Policy asked "fourteen top analysts to peer beyond November 6th's headlines and examine the longer-term issues confronting the United States," from the Middle East to national security to free trade.
This is it.
In roughly 24 hours -- we hope -- the world will know whether Barack Obama will return for a second term, or Mitt Romney will oust him to become the 45th president of the United States. More than any other issue, this was an election about America's struggling economy, a referendum on Obama's handling of what he never fails to remind us was the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
But as Joe Biden might say, gird your loins: Regardless of who wins, the man occupying the Oval Office will confront a world of trouble, from a China determined to challenge U.S. primacy in the Pacific to an Iran that shows few signs of buckling in the face of international pressure to an Arab world still very much in the throes of upheaval and chaos. Come January, America's adversaries will be looking to test the new president, or probe the old one for signs of weakness. And America's friends and allies will be demanding leadership from a United States that has been consumed with its internal power struggle for the past 18 months.
Foreign Policy asked 14 top analysts to peer beyond Wednesday's headlines and examine the longer-term issues confronting the United States, from Europe's debt morass to North Korea's dangerous nuclear program, sagging U.S. competitiveness to worsening climate change. Whether American voters have opted for four more years for the incumbent or to give someone else a try, it's a daunting list. Are these guys sure they want the job?

Divisional loss tightens race
Toronto's 5-3 win moved them withing four points of the third-place Canadiens in the Atlantic Division standings.
A late goal by James Van Riemsdyk broke a 3-3 tie.
The Leafs also got goals from Cody Franson, Phil Kessel and Mason Raymond.
Brendan Gallagher, Brian Gionta and David Desharnais scored for the Canadiens.
Leafs score late to win it
David Desharnais tipped in P.K. Subban's point shot to create a 3-3 tie that lasted five minutes.
Errors by Andrei Markov, Alexei Emelin and Max Pacioretty opened the door for Tyler Bozak to feed James Van Riemsdyk for the winning goal.
With Carey Price on the bench, Joffrey Lupul was hauled down from behind and awarded an empty-netter.
Canadiens outshot the Leafs 33-29.
Birthday boy captain scores a big one
The Canadiens dominated the first half of the period, but Toronto took the lead on goals by Phil Kessel and Mason Raymond – the former off defensive zone chaos, the latter with Alecei Emelin in the penalty box.
The home team was cruising until Brian Gionta, 35 today, tapped in a rebound with only 11 ticks left on the clock.
Shots were 14-10 for the Canadiens.
Carey Price made a highlight reel leg save on Kessel.
Ottawa redux?
Reminiscent of what the Senators did on Thursday, Toronto began by running the Canadiens out of the rink.
The Leafs outshot their visitors 6-1 and got a 1-0 lead when Nazem Kadri easily beat Alexei Emelin and fed a pinching Cody Franson for a tap-in.
The lead lasted until a late-period Canadiens power play.
A lucky bounce off Max Pacioretty found the blade of Brendan Gallagher's stick, and the diminutive one fired home his 12th goal – half of which have come on the PP.
Shots were 12-9 for the Leafs.
Carey Price's best save was right-leg robbery on Mason Raymond.
Another Atlantic rival
Their first visit to Toronto this season is unlikely to match the excitement of the Canadiens' crazy win in Ottawa, but there's every chance we'll see a good one at the Air Canada Centre Saturday night.
Clinging to a wild-card playoff spot, Toronto has won three in a row and is 16-10-1 at the ACC.
The Canadiens are third in the Atlantic Division, two points behind Tampa Bay and three back of the Bruins. They're 13-8-2 on the road this season.
The Leafs spoiled the season opener at the Bell Centre Oct. 1 with a 4-3 win. The Canadiens made amends to the home fans, getting two goals from Max Pacioretty and winning 4-2 on Nov. 30.
Hamilton call-ups Nathan Beaulieu and Joonas Nattinen are expected to be in the lineup Saturday night.
Disappointing fans who voted overwhelmingly in favour of taking him out to the barn to be humanely euthanized, Rene Bourque will be in the pressbox, with Douglas Murray and Raphael Diaz.
The Leafs will be without "prize" UFA acquisition David Clarkson and goon Frazer McLaren.
Puck drops at 7:40ish, after the HNIC crew finishes their preliminary Leaf-blowing.

Such as improved OFA ratings, overall body size, and joint health? I am not interested in what the dog food company is telling us, slower growth, less calcium, less hip problems. I am interested in knowing what breeders and dog owners are finding in their puppies fed large breed formula food.

Latina singing superstar Shakira is set to release her new album entitled She Wolf very soon. And to promote the similarly-titled first single, she's doing something really different. Apparently, there are certain Shakira look-alikes roaming the streets and "attacking" unsuspecting men. Like a real-life she-wolf. Of course, the whole thing is staged, but it definitely caught the eye of pedestrians. I don't know what that has to do with Shakira's music, but with the ever-changing scene, artists need to do practically anything to get noticed. I think that album cover is a pretty good start.

HOULKA – Residents of New Houlka are eyeing a petition asking state legislators to help them obtain qualified resort status for their community.
State law does not allow communities under 5,000 population to vote on resort status, but backers of the petition said communities below that threshold have been allowed resort status under local and private bills passed by the Mississippi Legislature and they want that opportunity, too.
Resort status would allow New Houlka to put a tax on restaurants, bed-and-breakfast inns and hotels with revenue used to promote tourism and draw people to town. Resort status would also allow businesses in New Houlka to sell beer, wine and mixed drinks as defined by the New Houlka Board of Aldermen.
Houlka has a population of 686.
"This is about bringing business and people back to Houlka," said Tina Pullen, who has petitions at Tina's Fifth Avenue Salon in downtown Houlka. "My business depends on the economic health of this town."
Pullen pointed out the window to a basically empty town square at noon Thursday in Houlka.
"We need more traffic downtown. We need more people willing to open a business here," she added. "I think resort status might help turn things around."
Pullen said six businesses have opened and closed in downtown Houlka over the past two years.
Pullen said petitions can be found at Turner Insurance, Mid South Propane, Old Houlka Food Shop, Gary Washington Oil, Dollar General and Derrick's Auto in Houlka.
Chris Turner, of Turner Insurance, said he supports the referendum for economic reasons, too.
"This is an economic development issue and not just about alcohol," said Turner. "We are asking for special resort status so we can capitalize on tourist who come to Davis Lake and those who will come to town when the Tanglefoot Trail opens next year."
Turner said both Starkville and Oxford have seen nearby communities under 5,000 population apply for resort status and be successful. He said if New Houlka obtains qualified resort status the community would still have to vote to allow the sale of alcohol, beer and wine by the glass.
"People vote with their dollars," said Turner. "People go Tupelo to eat and dine out and they drive Lake Road to Okolona every day to get beer. I think this is an opportunity to keep those dollars in Houlka."
New Houlka Mayor Jimmy Kelly said the city asked local lawmakers for qualified resort status several years ago and no bill ever made it to the floor for a vote.
"We just hope this petition will be an indicator in the amount of interest in this issue," said Kelly. "Resort status would still mean the city determines the ordinances and how these revenue dollars would be spent to promote tourism."
Kelly said New Houlka's sale tax revenues are down and he supports anything that keeps dollars in town.
"I support it, but it is yet to be seen if the entire city board supports resort status," said Kelly. "I will say this, selling alcohol in Houlka will not make anyone take a drink that is not already taking a drink. It will keep them from driving to Okolona, Pontotoc, Tupelo or the bootlegger to get it."
Both Turner and Pullen said they certainly have no intention to sell alcohol at their businesses. Both said they support resort status because it will help Houlka grow.
"We lost our bank because of a decline in foot-traffic, we saw our downtown grill close and we understand another restaurant may soon close its doors," said Turner. "Would resort status have kept any of those doors open? I think it would have helped and that is why I support this. We have to do something. If anyone has a better economic development idea, I will be glad to listen."
Legislation passed this spring allowing municipalities of more than 5,000 to vote to allow the sale of liquor inside the city limits of dry counties. That legislation would allow a vote on the sale of alcohol by the glass if 20-percent of the residents signed a petition asking the issue be put to a vote.
The City of Philadelphia made a similar request for qualified resort status this spring and was denied. Philadelphia also saw similar legislation die in 2011. Nearby casinos operated by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians serve liquor 24 hours a day.
Resort status has traditionally allowed businesses with significant historical or tourism value in dry areas or in city limits to serve alcohol 24-hours a day. However, state law says city boards can petition to have hours of any area with resort status fall in line with normal alcohol sales times.

Many people question whether the cuts in the federal payments to hospitals to offset some of the loss for uncompensated care they provide will ever come to fruition.
The cuts are part of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that is cursed by many, praised by some and misunderstood by most. As part of the act, what is known as the Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments are supposed to be significantly cut over a period of years. Instead, the Medicaid program would be expanded to cover those earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $15,000 for an individual, or $32,000 for a family of four.
The reasoning is that, if people have health care through Medicaid, hospitals will be providing far less uncompensated care and thus the need for the DSH payments will be reduced.
But in upholding the constitutionality of the law this past summer, the United States Supreme Court said the federal government could not enforce one portion of the act.
The Affordable Care Act included language saying that the federal government could not penalize the current Medicaid programs of the states that did not expand Medicaid.
People who do not believe the DSH cuts will be made cite the fact that in his budget proposal released last week President Barack Obama delays the cuts for one year. They reason that in the end Obama will never pull the trigger on the cuts.
The same people fail to understand that the cut to DSH payments is part of federal law. The president's budget is simply a proposal.
Plus, Gov. Phil Bryant and others opposed to the expansion of Medicaid say that if the federal government tries to cut the DSH patients they will sue. They cite last summer's ruling where the Supreme Court said the federal government could not punish the current Medicaid program of the states that do not participate in the expansion.
Who knows what courts will do?
Bryant and many others were confident last summer that the nation's highest court was going to strike down the Affordable Care Act on constitutional grounds. It did not.
Perhaps this time they are right and the Court would rule that the federal government could not reduce the DSH payments to hospitals. Perhaps they would rule that would be an inappropriate penalty to the states.
But it seems that it would have to be the most activist court imaginable to take that step.
As I understand ninth-grade civics, and I had some very good teachers at West Jones High School, the legislative branch makes the laws, the executive branch enforces the laws and the judicial branch interprets said laws.
That is the basic tenet of our representative democracy.
For the Supreme Court to rule that the DSH payments cannot be cut, it would have to say Congress cannot make changes to the existing Medicaid program.
At the time the Affordable Care Act was passed, a majority of elected representatives and senators came to the conclusion that it was more efficient to expand Medicaid so that people could have access to a primary care physician who might be able to treat existing illnesses before they became chronic and perhaps deadly and definitely more expensive.
Elected representatives decided that was more efficient than paying hospitals to care for people when they got so sick that they showed up in the emergency rooms often with illnesses that had advanced to a level where more expensive treatments were needed.
Perhaps, I am wrong, but I was under the impression that Congress had the authority to make whatever changes it deemed appropriate to Medicaid.
If Congress wanted to change the program so that it no longer provided prescription drug coverage, it had that right.
If Congress wanted to stop paying for nursing home care, it had that right. Heck, if Congress wanted to eliminate the entire Medicaid program, it had that prerogative.
Like I said, maybe I am wrong.
But using the knowledge from ninth grade civics I thought the Supreme Court was saying that the federal government could not punish the states by not allowing them to participate if the existing Medicaid program as enacted by Congress if it did not participate in the expansion.
But, like I said, I am basing this on ninth grade civics. Maybe, that separation of powers thing does not apply anymore.

Classic Speys
Here are a couple classics. Somehow the silk on the Sol Duc turned pink in the scanning process. In fact, it is in actuality far more bright a shade of orange than the hackles! Interesting how that happened.
1 Attachment(s)
The Sol Duc Spey is supposed to have a black throat hackle, not teal, gadwall, or pintail. My scanner also doesn't like to reproduce the bright hot orange floss, dubbing, and thread at the fly's head.
Nice dressings...especially the Sol Duc. I like the Teal in your collar as it adds a little detail and gives the fly a bit of transparency. Style and interpretation of style make tying a unique art...although subject to raised eyebrows from 'purists'.
Re: "Purists"
I guess my question for the "purist" is this: "Does your version catch fish any better?"
Igor and Bob K,
The answer is no. The original Glasso dressing is just a little bit darker than his Sol Duc, which uses G.P crest for a short tail, TEal face hackle, and a G.P. crest as a wing topping. If you use teal instead of black for the face hackle, it in effect is nothing more than a Sol Duc fly without the G.P crest feather, and I'd rather tie and fish the Glasso flies as he designed them because of the progression from light to dark that they have.
I think PastorD has more than captured the 'spirit' or character of Mr. Glasso's Sol Duc Spey. The proportions are wonderful, it's obviously dressed with great care and respect to the fly's originator - there IS a nice transition from dark to light (as per the original Rx) and I'd wager it would result in as many hook-ups as the 'original'.
So, sans 'GP crest for the short tail, teal face hackle, and GP crest as a wing topping'*, he's tied a lovely Sol Duc Spey that'll catch fish.
With all due respect, Humbug on nitpicking and experts who have to have the last word on tying.
*What is your source for these components in Mr. Glasso's original dressing of the Sol Duc?
Pastortd ties a very nice fly that takes a back seat to no one; however, there is a problem in my opinion with changing the basic coloration of a fly from the original unless you rename it. Take the Hendrickson dry fly for trout, if we substitute a cream or golden brown body when we dress it, it is no longer a Hendrickson. Likewise, if we change the body on a Jock Scott to gold tinsel, it is no longer a Jock Scott, it is rather the Gold Jock Scott. And if we eliminate the tail from a comet it is no longer a comet. The same standard should apply to steelhead flies.
My original source was a set of Glasso's flies that a friend of mine who knew and fished with Glasso has been given as a gift from Glasso himself. Trey Combs also lists the exact dressing (again based on the flies that Glasso tied and gave to him) in "Steelhead Fishing and Flies" and in "Steelhead Fly Fishing. I have also seen the exact same dressings in a set of Glasso flies that Alec Jackson has that were tied by Glasso (who was his fishing companion and friend) and in a set that the Whatcom County Museum has on loan from Ralf Wahl, which were also tied by Glasso. Helvie's "Steelhead Flytying Guide" also list the exact dressing I used, as does Shewy's book on spey and dee flies.
In short, the 3 sets of Glasso's flies that were tied by Glasso himself has the dressing I gave, and there have been other print references who used the same dressings as well.
What I meant Glasso's progression of light to dark is not what was in only one fly. It refers to the entire set of Glasso flies. In order from lightest to darkest they are: 1) Polar Shrimp Spey; 2) Sol Duc; 3) Sol Duc Spey; 4) Sol Duck Dark; 5) Courtesan; 6) Orange Heron; 7) Brown Heron; 8) Gold Heron; and 9) Silver (black) Heron. The series as a whole goes from very bright and light to rather dark, and as such, they cover the whole fishing spectrum of weather and water conditions.
It would seem your flytying reference library and acquaintances with noted NW tyers who were peers of Mr. Glasso's are vast, Mr. Moderator. I dare say, some visitors to this forum might even be impressed.
The point still remains that a tyer dressed a fly (beautifully I might add) that maintained the integrity of the original design and remains worthy of calling it by it's original name. Just my humble opinion.
It's also my opinion that your comments about Pastor D's work were inconsiderate and arrogant. A little grace and tact would have been in order, I think.
Who sets and governs these 'standards' you mentioned?
That being the case, do you expect a tyer to rename a Green Butt Skunk to a 'Green Butt Calftail' because it was tied with the same? Are my Purple Perils no longer Purple Perils because they were fashioned on a tube instead of iron?
I amend my last post...Humbug AND PHOOEY on nit-pickers and self-proclaimed experts.
my reactions
Flytier is right about the recipe for the Sol Duc Spey as tied by Syd Glasso.
On the other hand, when does a fly cease to be faithful to the original? I believe Glasso tied on Partridge low water hooks. Is it not a Sol Duc Spey if tied on a Bartleet or an Alec Jackson? What if you use synthetic floss instead of silk, or a seal substitute? Mylar tinsel? And you'd best split your silk floss to form a dubbing loop for the seal.
My reaction when I first saw Flytier's response was that it came across -- intentionally or not -- as dismissive of the very nice work Thomas does. Another approach would have been to say something like "Nice flies, PastorD. I notice you used teal for the throat on the Sol Duc Spey. Glasso's pattern called for black hackle, and I really liked the progression from light flies to dark that he established. I don't think the teal works as well in that regard as the original black."
Thomas is a wonderful fly tier. I admire his work and am always happy to see it. I hope that he's not discouraged from coming back to this forum.
Conversely, I've learned a lot from Flytier's postings, and value both the information and the feedback he's provided to me.
You're right, I should have posted my initial response with different wording. My intention was not to disparage Pastortd's work because his tying is impeccable. The intention was simply to have the Glasso dressing as originated and tied by Glasso himself displayed and the dressing listed (Glasso tied on Sealy low-water hooks, which are no longer available. The Partridge Barleets were not on the market when Glasso was alive, they came after Alec moved his hooks from being made by Partridge to Daiichi around 1989). That is why I mentioned in a posting other than my first one on the thread that Pastortd is an excellent tyer.
A fly should be tied true to color in body, wing, ribbing, tail, butt, hackle, tag, etc. Wehter you use calf tail of polar bear or artic fox is of no consequence. Iis a Jock Scott any less a Jock Scott if tied with a hair wing composed of hair comprised of the colors of the original feather wing Jock Scott, of course not! Nor is tying a Purple Peril on a tube instead of a hook changing the fly, it is still a Purple Peril if it uses the same colors for body, wing, hackle, etc.(Stu this is what you were getting at, and you are correct.)
However, if you use black bear hair for a wing on a "Green-Butt Skunk" it is no longer a "Green-Butt Skunk". changing the wing to black turns the fly into a "Green-Butt, Black Bear" (a fly well-known to Atlantic Salmon fishers in North America). Likewise, changing the purple body of the "Purple Peril" to something close such as burgundy changes it into a different fly from the "Purple Peril".
In similar fashion, leaving the tail and topping off of a fly does not change the fly into a new fly or into an already existing fly of a different name. It is still the original fly tied as a variation. There is nothing wrong with doing so; however, the tyer should acknowledge that it is a variation of the fly and not call it the name of a different fly.
Nit-picker, no. A stickler for accurately naming a fly, yes. Otherwise, confusion reigns and we have no way of knowing what someone was using if he says he was using a Purple Emperor instead of a Neuron Cherry Bomb Spey.
Who ARE you?
I found your comments to me in your last post some of the condescending piffle I've ever read.
Do you think I needed a lesson on the taxonomy and/or morphology on the Green Butt Bear vd the Green Bunk Skunk?
How patronizing of you!
Humbug on sticklers and wind-bags, say I.
Cmon Igor. We do not need flame wars on this site. Not one of your posts has been on the constructive side since you joined the forum. If you have a personal beef with Flytyer lets keep it off the site.
Flytyer acknowledged his err in tone to pastord, (if you knew Flytyer you would know his point was not to knock pastords ties in the least) what else do you want?
If you look at the history of this forum we are all a civil bunch and respect EVERY tyers work.
It is only a web forum. Please try not to take it so personal. No malice was intended on anyone's part.
Lets get back to tying,
-sean (FFF admin)
I agree completely. I've always valued the tone of friendship and helpfulness of this site. It's unique. People have always seemed to go out of their way when there are differences of opinion to avoid the type of nasty confrontation that's so prevalent on so many other sites. There are differences, sometimes great areas of disagreement, but the participants have always seemed to not want to compromize the site. Lets keep it that way.
Igor, FT's comments were candid and accurate. period. So he cut to the chase..., I have found FT's candor refreshing, his knowledge vast, and in fact, have been trying to work out the details of this digital camera specifically so I can offer up my own work for similar critique...
I just hope he replies when I do!!:D
Some interesting info
Curioser and curioser...
For a man with as much impact as Syd Glasso has had, the information available about him, and the extant photos of his flies, are relatively rare. In a google search for "Glasso Orange Heron" I came across the following article by Art Lingren in the newsletter of the BCFFF. It includes photographs of a number of his flies tied by Syd for Bob Taylor.
The Sol Duc Spey is tied with a teal throat.

STARKVILLE – It wasn't technically a start for Myles Gentry, but the freshman had to put in starter's work on Friday night.
Gentry tossed 41⁄3 innings of early shutout relief as No. 3 Mississippi State defeated Central Arkansas, 4-2, at Dudy Noble Field.
He entered after starter Jacob Lindgren took a line drive off the side of his left knee just two batters into the game.
Gentry (1-0) allowed no hits or walks and struck out three in what was by far his longest outing. He threw 63 pitches, 43 more than his previous season high.
"You keep waiting for him to become a freshman, and he just doesn't," head coach John Cohen said. "He just keeps on going up there and throwing fastballs with movement at the bottom of the zone, sometimes 87-88 (mph), which from that (low) arm angle is very unusual."
Gentry had to do all his warming up on the mound, but he didn't seem phased by the sudden entry.
"Really didn't give me much time to think about it, just had to go out there, get warm, that was it," Gentry said.
Cohen said he feels Lindgren is "going to be OK," but the sophomore must still undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his injury.
MSU (17-0) used six relievers in all, with Will Cox tossing two shutout innings. Jonathan Holder worked the ninth for his sixth save.
slow start
MSU didn't get a runner on base until the fourth inning, when Adam Frazier hit a leadoff single. He stole second and scored on Hunter Renfroe's sac fly for a 1-0 lead.
State added two more runs in the fifth inning and one in the sixth.
The Bulldogs finished with seven hits.
Central Arkansas (12-2) had four hits.
The Bulldogs and Bears meet again today at 2 p.m.
No. 7 Ole Miss 10, Lipscomb 1: Preston Overbey drove in four runs, Andrew Mistone drove in three and Stuart Turner had a pair of RBIs as the Rebels opened their final weekend of non-conference play.
Mike Bianco picked up his 485th win as coach of the Rebels, tying him with Jake Gibbs. He can beat the record with a win in today's game, which begins at 1:30 p.m.
Bobby Wahl allowed three hits in six shutout innings, striking out six and walked none. Jeremy Massie threw three innings, allowing an earned run in the ninth, to pick up the save.
Mistone and Auston Bousfield each had three hits for the Rebels.
Josh Cotham picked up the loss after allowing nine earned runs in three innings.
