Good calls on Shazier and Robinson. Being in Big Ten country, I got a good look at both, and they are impressive. Shazier is very active and one of those guys that is seemingly everywhere.
Robinson as you pointed out is an impressive physical specimen. He will be interesting to watch next year to see how much he develops. I really like how he attacks the ball. He won alot of battles with his size, but he can certainly develop his skills more.
Man I love personnel decisions. This time of year is tremendous even when evaluating future drafts!
Marlin Lane / RB / Tennessee
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 210
I felt like Marlin Lane was the best back the Vols had last year, despite only having 120 carries while splitting time with Rajion Neal. However, Lane did lead the backs in receptions out of the backfield with 29 catches.
I'm a firm believer that Tennessee's running game would've been better with Lane leading the way. He doesn't hesitate and hits the hole hard, and will break arm tackles with a more physical and determined running style than the aforementioned Neal. Hard runner that's still improving as a player. The Tennessee coaching staff were able to determine this as well, as Lane earned the starting job for the last 6 games of the season.
I suspect Vol fans will see a lot more of Lane coming downhill off the hip of guard Zach Fulton in 2013.

Jahwan Edwards / RB / Ball St.
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 225
Yet another MAC running back. A 5'9", 225 pound rolling ball of butcher knives that rushed for over 1,400 yards and 14 TD's as a sophomore. Doesn't have elite top end speed, but a powerful inside runner capable of breaking long runs in the MAC. Edwards was the key ingredient in Ball St.'s 5 or 6 upsets last season.

Jarvis Landry / WR / LSU
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 195
Elite 5-Star recruit coming out of high school that had everyone in the SEC hot on his tail. Led LSU in receiving last year as a sophomore during his first season as a starter. Has yet to really break out statistically due to inefficient QB play, but he's more talented than most receivers out there putting up better numbers. Probably made the best catch I saw all season on a one handed touchdown grab against rival Arkansas. He first caught my attention as a freshman on special teams where he made his presence felt. This kid was an absolute destroyer on special teams with violent hits that struck fear in opposing kick returners. I watched him literally put fear in the Georgia kick returners in the 2011 SEC Championship game. They were afraid to bring the ball out of the endzone because of Landry.
After Mettenberger got comfortable with the speed of the SEC, he played extremely well down the stretch beginning with the Alabama game. I look for Landry to reap to the benefits of Mettenberger's growth at the quarterback position in 2013. Legitimate 1st round potential.

Seattle part of national fast-food workers strike
SEATTLE, Wash. - Seattle demonstrators taking part in a national day one-day protest of low wages for fast-food workers started Thursday with a rally a Cal Anderson Park.
Organizers said strike locations would be announced through the day, followed by a 4 p.m. rally at Westlake Park in downtown Seattle.
Demonstrators are calling on corporations to pay employees $15 an hour. Businesses say such pay hikes would hurt their ability to create jobs.
The protests are backed by the Service Employees International Union. The National Restaurant Association called the actions big labor's attempt to push its agenda.

|For Immediate Release
March 1, 2002
|Kelly Huff

Bob Biersack
Ian Stirton
This committees 12 Day Pre-Primary report was received on March 4, 2002. It was sent certified/registered mail dated February 16, 2002. If sent by certified or registered mail, this report should have been postmarked by February 18, therefore the report is considered timely filed.
WASHINGTON -- California will be holding primary elections on March 5, 2002, to select candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives.
Provisions of the Federal Election Campaign Act require committees supporting candidates involved in the primary to file reports of their financial activity 12 days before the election.
As of 5 p.m., February 28, 2002, disclosure reports from the following committees had not been filed:
The reports were to include financial activity occurring from January 1 through February 13. If sent by certified or registered mail, the reports should have been postmarked by February 18. Otherwise, the due date was close-of-business February 21. Mandatory electronic filing requirements became effective as of January 1, 2001. Any committee that receives contributions or makes expenditures in excess of $50,000 in the current calendar year, or that reasonably expects to do so, must submit its reports electronically. These rules became effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2001.
Some individuals and their committees have no obligation to file reports under federal election law, even though their names may appear on state ballots. If an individual raises or spends less than $5,000, he or she is not considered a "candidate" subject to reporting under the FECA.
The FEC notified committees involved in the primary of their potential filing requirements on January 28. Those committees which did not file on the due date were notified on February 22 that reports had not been received and that their names would be published if they did not respond within four business days.
Other political committees supporting House candidates in elections (those which are not authorized units of a candidate's campaign) also are required to file pre-primary reports, unless they report monthly. Those committee names are not published by the FEC.
Further Commission action against non-filers and late filers falls under the Administrative Fine Program. Political committees and treasurers who fail to file their reports on time may be subject to civil money penalties ranging from $125 to $16,000 (or more for repeat late- and non-filers).
The next regularly scheduled disclosure reports for candidate committees will be the quarterly report, due April 15. It will cover activity from February 14 through March 31.

Rowdy would been about 10 months when ready to start swimby if it had not been for cold weather.

The PJM complaint and the rising cost of electric reliability.
Bruce W. Radford is publisher of Public Utilities Fortnightly .
The PJM complaint and the rising cost of electric reliability.
Who says ratepayers must accept the traditional measure of electric reliability—a single one-hour outage every ten years? If shown the bill ahead of time, might they decide otherwise; that such luxury is no longer affordable? Consumers are making similar decisions about gasoline and mortgages. Why not electricity?
Notice that Chairman Joseph Kelliher and his fellow commissioners at the FERC already are busy preparing consumers for this sobering comeuppance—that we as a nation can no longer afford our grandfathers' grid. Listen to Commissioner Suedeen Kelly, commenting at FERC's June 19th meeting on an eye-opening presentation from the commission staff (see Figure 1) on the rising cost of electric-generation facilities.
"We have a weak dollar," warned Kelly. "We have an economic slowdown … We have a financial sector that has been battered by financial crises, and credit is tight.
"This," she added, "makes the whole notion of building more electricity infrastructure a difficult one."
And Kelliher added, "I think it is important that these hard realities be better understood by the general public and others."
Such concerns are emerging in other regulatory proceedings. Exhibit A is the recent complaint against the PJM power grid, which was filed at FERC at the start of summer to dispute results of the first four base residual auctions conducted under the region's new and controversial "reliability pricing model" (RPM). (See, Maryland PSC v. PJM, FERC Docket EL08-67, filed May 30, 2008.)
The RPM regime, analogous to the ICAP program in New York and New England's forward capacity market (FCM), serves to recruit electric-generating capacity three years ahead of time, in order to keep the lights on. RPM includes market auctions built on complex mathematical algorithms aimed specifically at complying with the one-in-10 reliability standard. This new complaint, filed by a group of self-styled capacity "buyers"—including state utility commissions in Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, rural cooperatives, and state-funded ratepayer advocates, plus a dozen or so additional parties, with various federal government agencies thrown in—marks a new turning point in the unsteady march of utility restructuring.
Now, for perhaps the first time, we see opponents confronting a market regime not because electricity is special and so cannot abide a market, or that that deregulation violates the laws of physics or the duty to serve. Rather, this new complaint attacks PJM's capacity market because, in essence, it mandates too much reliability—a level of security that American ratepayers simply cannot afford.
A $26 Billion Mistake?
Put in place by a settlement agreement OK'd by FERC on December 22, 2006 (Docket ER05-1410, 117 FERC ¶61,331) , PJM's RPM regime features regular auctions in which suppliers offer for a given price to sell future availability of electric power resources to the RTO (be it plant output, demand response, or even space on a new transmission line), for physical delivery across a 12-month commitment period that does not ordinarily begin until three years later. In May 2008, for example, PJM

Pensions for 20,000 non-union workers simply evaporated. Union worker pensions survived. Another "cover-up"?Despite our repeated requests for all responsive documents and communications, the Treasury Department has only proffered a limited number of documents, many of which were already publicly available, Issa and Turner wrote in a Thursday letter to Geithner.
Issa and Turner cited an early August report in The Daily Caller that included emails obtained and published showing that the Treasury Department and the White House drove the cutoff of 20,000 nonunion Delphi autoworker retirees pensions.
Documents recently made public under the Freedom of Information Act, however, demonstrate that the Treasury Department was the driving force behind the decision to terminate the pensions of Delphis salaried employees, they wrote, citing TheDCs early August article. Although the Treasury Department has maintained that [the Pension Benefit Guarantee Program] PBGC alone made the decision to terminate the pensions of Delphis salaried employees, these documents appear to indicate that Treasury Department officials and members of President Obamas Auto Task Force played a large role in this decision.

smaller raft?
For a long time I was thinking about getting a pontoon boat for making floats after steelhead and trout. However after a lot of thinking I think a raft would better suit my needs, heres what I want: The ability to take class III whitewater, being able to row and have somebody else fish, be fairly small and somewhat lightweight, and have room for gear for overnight trips. Does anybody have any suggestions? I am thinking somethin in the 10 foot class would be about right but other then that im pretty much clueless, this is a totally new area for me. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated (manufacturers, etc.)
Small Raft
I would recommend an AIRE Super Puma or just a Puma. The Super is a little bigger and longer. Both are small and stable. They are a three man set- up. I have used both and they are very similar. You would need the fly- fishing frame, which includes the frame, seats, oar locks..etc.
They are great boats and two guys can grab a side and toss it in the back of a pick- up truck.
I did a fishing trip on the Green River in Utah in a Super Puma that my boss owns. At this one rapid all the Dory type boats had to "rope" their boats through the rapid with no one on board. It looked difficult and time consuming. We blasted right through that rapid in the Puma and never had a problem.
They have a web site with good info.
Good Luck!
Good ideas.
The Aire puma is a good way to go for a fishing raft. But you could also go and hit NRS (if you PM me I can give you the URL). They also sell Aire and their own brand of boats. I like the NRS better. Better material and no stitched seams (at least Aire used to, I used to run them and still run Aire catarafts). Plus, NRS sells fishing frame packages for rafts as well. Nice thing, you can easily modify for 2/3 man in no time with them. A bit pricey, but best way to go IMHO outside the cataraft realm. You could also check out Sotar as well. They may have raft fishing packages too. It's another option if you have to have the best of the best. Spectacular rafts and catarafts. Personally, I love the Steelheader's for catarafts, and stick by them. But we're talking rafts though. PM or email me, I'll give you the links to the above mentioned.

Reviews of this property
It is a very nice apartment with plenty of room, a beautiful kitchen and great bedrooms facing the courtyard. The kitchen is equipped with everything to take meals at home as you. Especially comfortable the couch in front of a large flat-screen TV. The beach, a street full of shops, or the connection to several bus lines are just around the corner. Moreover, the road has little traffic in front of the house. I just felt very comfortable and would love to return. A disadvantage is that a permanent parking the car (approximately 2-3 kms) in a parking garage or just outside the city center is possible. The landlady was always reachable by phone and gave you information. I can absolutely recommend this apartment. Thanks Federica!
Es ist eine sehr schöne Wohnung mit viel Platz, einer herrlichen Wohnküche und tollem Schlafzimmer zur Hofseite. Die Küchenausstattung ist mit allem ausgerüstet, um sich wie daheim verpflegen zu können. Besonders gemütlich ist die Couch vor einem großen Flachbild-Fernseher. Der Strand, eine Straße voller Geschäfte oder die Anbindung zu verschiedenen Buslinien sind direkt um die Ecke. Außerdem ist die Straße vor dem Haus verkehrsberuhigt. Habe mich sehr wohlgefühlt und würde gerne wiederkommen. Nachteilig ist, dass ein dauerhaftes Parken des Autos nur in einem Parkhaus oder außerhalb des Stadtzentrums (etwa 2-3 Km entfernt)möglich ist. Die Vermieterin war telefonisch stets erreichbar und gab gerne Auskunft. Ich kann diese Wohnung absolut weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank Federica!
Hello Federica, your apartment I was fine in general, were wrong to give me the keys, but then it is solved! the rest is an apartment located in a nice area, very nice big rooms from the outside is not very convenient because the bathroom upstairs ... my assessment is positive. ;)
Situated in a popular area of Brighton near the sea front, this beautifully described apartment sadly hid dreadful secrets. As you walk through the front door, the musty stench of damp hits you. Up two flights of grubby stairs to the apartment only to be greeted with no heating except for a small electric heater, no bulbs working in the light and water running dowm the walls.
There were instructions on how to work the heating but this didn't work. The second bedroom was accessed up the spiral staircase had nothing in it except for a step ladder and the bathroom, which led off this room needed a good clean. There was my friend and myself that booked the apartment and only one bed made up with no other bedding available to make up the bed settee in the back room. The description on Wimdu states that there are two bathrooms and my friend is disabled and finds stairs difficult so to have two bathrooms sounded ideal but there is no other bathroom except for the one accessed up the spiral staircase off the second bedroon. The second bathroom was in fact a cloakroom which was so narrow my friend was not able to use it.
The ceilings appear to be falling down probably due to the damp conditions and after half an hour there, I had quite a bad asthma attack and spent a few hours in the local hospital. At this point we decided to find a hotel especially considering the temperature at night reach freezing.
It is my intention to seek a 100% refund.
This property is in a perfect location for both shops and sea front and very typical of Brighton architecture. The appartment is spacious but we were surprised that the 'second bedroom' was in fact the dining room with a sofa bed which sadly my sister in law ( who is 62 and had travelled from France for a family wedding) could not sleep on because it was too hard. We had to find her somwhere else to stay which made for a very expensive trip for us. We also had difficulty getting hotwater because no instructions as to how to turn it on had been left, and there were problems with the keys we had been given There was some water running down the walls in the upstairs area near the bathroom. However, the kitchen was well equiped and our bedroom was comfortable. We would probably stay there again if we visit Brighton in the future.and did not need to use the sofa bed!
Such a lovely place! Perfect location and amazing value :) Everything you'd need for a great stay.
A very beautiful apartment! The apartment is very old so we got some problems with the heat. But that didn't destroyed the overall expression!
Our stay at Frederica's appartement was gorgeous, very special place, uncomplicated to get the keys etc., super kitchen equipment (smegg oven!) wonderfully quiet at night.
and just around the corner:
the main street with its charme, supermarkets open until 11pm,
and : the sea !!! just down the road...
*****loved it.

I can t recommend this hotel. The main problem is very, very noisy. Thanks to the wooden windows with large gaps at night you can hear music and feel the atmosphere of the bar on other side of the road, but you can not sleep. At four o clock in the morning the music became a little quieter. I booked this hotel for three nights. The first night was less noisy, possibly due to heavy rain. On the second night was terrible. Then we ran out of the hotel, despite the loss of money for the third night. Our next hotel for the same money value was much quieter, and instead of a bar and a road-view had a quiet view on the garden, and was twice closer to the sea. In the air conditioner was broken piece, directing the air flow. In the morning we woke up from the crack and the child s bed fell off pieces of ice from the air conditioner. I ve never seen such a thing before. My bed has broken bottom bracket, from which protruded small nails. This was a memorable piece, when I stepped on one of them. In our room was a bathtube, but it was so dirty, that we couldn t use it.

We arrived on November 15, 2009 we was very surprised what we see , the Pool Restaurant and other we see in web side belongs not to Samui Beach Apartments it belongs to Seascape Beach Resort. When we wont go to room we must go first go through a shop than upstairs than to our booked room. (not good place) as we see that we wont not stay there, and we could not change room to better location. We did not stay there than it was to bad place for us but we must pay 40% from all 2 rooms for 3 nights. We changed to Seascape Beach Resort that was very good place to stay. Peter from Germany

Very big and confortable rooms. Every morning the staff clean and hygienize them and change blankets and towels. Besides there s always free fresh natural water on the fridge. The reception s staff is really friendly as well as the beach s staff and restaurant s staff. The food is quite good and cheap! The resort is situated in Chaweng south, where the beach is the most beautiful of the island. It takes just 5 minutes by taxi to arrive at the center of Chaweng. Anyway, just at the other side of the street there are pharmacy, bank with exchange money, supermarket, a lot of shops of souvenirs and clothes, so everything you need is just there.

The booking service is pretty good: fast in replying, very friendly and clearly.

We were very dissapointed. On the internet we saw pictures but from another hotel (Seascape). It was pictures from their pool, reception and bungalows. We paid 3000 swedish kroner in advandsed. We got a room out towards the main street and it was smelling. We stayed only one night and we didn´t get any money back. We even talked to three other famylies who maked the same mistake. We were cheated.

The toilet drain did smell every now and then. Big rooms and you get access to the Seascape facilities on the same site i.e pool restaurant and the beach is next to the pool. Good value hotel on price and location.

| "I'm just a backwoods Barbie, too much makeup, too much hair," Dolly Parton sang on a recent album. "But, don't be fooled by thinkin' that the goods are not all there." Indeed, the goods are more than there. In her four-decade career, the 70-year-old superstar has charted 25 number-one hits, sold 100 million records and even opened her very own (enormously successful) theme park. Her frankly artificial beauty, from her platinum wigs to her Coke bottle figure, are just part of her ample charm. "People say, 'Are you offended by the dumb-blonde jokes?'" she joked on "The View." "And I say no, because I know I'm not dumb and I know I'm not blonde." The 9-year-old grew up in Sevier County, Tennessee with 11 brothers and sisters. "If we ever had any makeup in the house," her mother once told People of the budding beauty, "Dolly'd grab it first."

Bought 8 older SW figures (for $44 total) and a few 9-card holders from a local collectors' show and antique area.
Went to a small wedding of a former co-worker of my mom's, then to Mrs. Knott's Chicken Place for linner (around 4pm or so).
I gave blood for the first time in seven years due to a five year deferment by the blood bank due to my cancer episode, plus a self-imposed two years for good measure (I didn't want anything funky coming back). It feels good to be able to get the ol' O negative (I'm the Universal Donor) back out in the community. My next donation in June will get me to the six gallon level! :thumbsup:
After that, got my haircut. Momentarily, Mrs. TI7 and I are going out to dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary! :love:
Ran, ate, did some yard work, watched part of the Brewer game and bought an mp3 player.
Opened a new savings account at a different bank (my original one fell victim to mergermania last year, so it's been a concern of mine to have all my [nest] eggs in one [financial] basket).
Made $5.47 in recycling (getting closer to the magic $200 mark for the school year).
Went to an Earth Day festival in town (got many pencils, notepads, handouts and fliers, reusable bags; a free hot dog and water; and in today's paper, my mom and I are shown walking in the from-above photo).
Went to a Big Read kickoff event (but it wasn't as active as I thought, so I went into the library to read).
Saw Clash of the Titans: In 2-D.
Ate dinner at Richie's Diner (nice menu selection).
Fell asleep fairly easily. :zzz:
Good for you TeeEye7. I have a strong appreciation for donors. :yes:
I watched the Padres go 14 innings with the Colorado Rockies to finally win 5-4. It was an amazing show by our bullpen.
Before that I finished sorting everything green in my Star Wars collection in storage (that means Naboo, Endor, and Alderaan).
On Tuesday I'm going to work on OT Tatooine (the cantina and Jabba's).
After going with my parents to take my sister to the airport, I helped some friends film a project for their lighting class. It was supposed to mimic the lighting in a scene from a movie; it was going to be The Room, the so-bad-it's-enlightening masterpiece, but we switched it to Cool Runnings to make it easier, but it still took until past midnight.
this weekend was a very busy weekend for me...had both ups and downs...luckly more ups....
Saturday started on a down - had to take my beagle to Vet..she's been very sick and is anemic so a few shots and prescriptions later and we still don't know if she'll be okay in the end. she's only 3 so of course the doctor is stumped as to what could cause this in such a young dog. hopefully we'll get some good news on Tuesday when we bring her back for a recheck.
later that day we went to the Home Depot to get stuff to work on the garden, planted a new Apple Tree and mowed the lawn etc...
Sunday was a day for just me and the wife...we went to NYC to see the Tim Burton exhibit at the MOMA. what an amazing show. had a nice lunch in Bryant Park and stopped by TRU and got 3 of the new Clone Wars figures. all in all Sunday was a great day, beautiful weather, nice quiet lunch, and fun day at the musuem.
I worked at Wal-Mart. I can't remember doing anything else that day.
Except for a couple hours or so after 6pm (grading, reading), I was quite effective with my time from about 7am-3pm; busy day, and so I must've just run outta juice after then. Weather was excellent: not too hot, little breeze, sunny with some cloudiness.
Recycling netted me $7.92, pushing my total pretty close (if not over) to $200 this school year so far.
Helped move some furniture home from Ralph's (yes, that's a grocery store, but it was a good deal and a very nice quality 4-piece set), with assistance from a friend with a truck.
Did various around-town errands (renewed car registration at AAA, used some coupons at B&N and Best Buy, printed digital photos at Costco, some actual food at grocery store, renewed a library book).
Had lunch at Wendy's (chicken sangwich and a Frosty :pleased: ).
Once I came home, it was all downhill from there (wasted too much time in sigh-berspace, watched too much TV) and went to bed later than I planned. Oh well.
Ran, worked a bit on cutting the hedges, golfed 9 and hung out at a bbq by some friends house.

I got Monkeywrench/Tunnel Rat from Ross. I already have Shockwave/Nightcreeper and didn't want another Gung Ho or Cooperhead (Sorry, Hasbro, I learned a lesson from that big pile of Vaders, R2-D2s, and Tatooine Lukes).
I might get the Cobra Mantis sub from one of the clearance stores for Christmas.
Since I got into the Joe collecting a bit late, I never got a regular Flint. So, I slapped together the head from the Cobra Disguise Flint, the body of ROC Sgt. Stone, and the web gear from one of the green shirts that came with Firefly. He looks like he'd fit in with the other ROC figures. Now if I just had a decent shotgun and backpack for him...
Yo momma. That's right, I said "yo momma".
My POC VAMP arrived from HTS and in a new low for them, they didn't even put it in a box!!!
They slapped the mailing label on the VAMP box and just mailed that out to me!
That is inexcusable. As much as I detest Matty's site, their shipping is impeccable and swift. HTS is the opposite. I once received a package that had gone through a fire. There was soot everywhere. HTS kindly replaced the contents, but the incident serves a reminder of their shipping service.
I've got a box coming tomorrow. One Transformers and a handful of Joes. I hope they don't just tape them together and slap a label on them. I learned long ago not to expect mint condition from them, which is sad, since they're the manufacturer.
I went a bit nuts today at Ross and Marshall's. Scored Shockblast/Night Creeper, Gung Ho/Copperhead, TRU Cobra 5-pack, MARS Troopers 3-pack, ROC Para-Viper, 25th Cobra Trooper, 25th Python Patrol Officer, and 25th Cobra Air Trooper. Aside from the Gung Ho set, all duplicates--I have no idea off hand what my count is on basic Cobra Troopers now without actually counting them.
But I figure that, next week, this stuff will all dry up. There will be a lot of parents doing their Christmas shopping. And they'll see at the top of the lists, "GIJoe Renegades stuff." And they will say, "Renegades? What the heck is Renegades? Eh, this is four bucks. He won't know the difference."
That's my jacket!
I'm hoping that the trend of Ross/Marshalls getting TRU/WM exclusives continues and we get the WM battle stations from last year. I'd like to pick up a few Cobra Heatseek Missile Systems (MMS).
TRU has "unadvertised" mystery deals on their website. They're not mysteries, since it tells you what they are, and they're not unadvertised, since they have them set up in a nice flyer.
Anyway, mech suits for $9.99 and ROC figures buy one, get two free. I know they're trying to rid themselves of ROC figures (and mostly have around here, sadly, or I'd snatch up every figure they had at that deal), but the way the mechs are rotting does not bode well for Wave 2.
That's my jacket!
I've been to 2 TRUs in the past week. They only have a few remaining ROC figures. The ones they do have are figures I already bought or just don't want.
Yo momma. That's right, I said "yo momma".
The Deviant is not worth $20. The figure is bloody awesome (and I hope the mold, or a good part of it, is used for a 21st century Techno-Viper). If it winds up at Ross for $5, and I think it might, I might get extras just for the Cyber Viper to repaint him as such.
The body and legs of the mech are awesome, but the arms are simply too gimmicky. It needs a standard gun or claw. The battering ram is laughable as anything other than a toy (yeah, I know this is a toy, but think of how useful this thing would be in full-size reality), and the grappling hook is a joke, too.
That's my jacket!
Double post, I know, but I've got two potential questions if Hasbro's still doing that:
1) Although a line or even subline based on the new IDW looks for characters is unlikely, some of the characters have been redesigned in ways that would look awesome in plastic but would be tough for anyone but the most talented to customize. Could some of the new designs possibly work their way into the Pursuit of Cobra line next year or in the near future, particularly Cobra Commander, the Vipers, and the Crimson Guardsmen?
2) Many of the Pursuit of Cobra vehicles (for example, the HISS V and the mech suits) have slots where additional weapons can be inserted. However, none so far have come with enough weapons to fill all the slots, and there's not a lot of potential to actually switch weapons. (For instance, someone wanting a Deviant suit armed with something more realistic than a mace-like battering ram would need to cannibalize a HISS, which would be useless without cannons.) Any possibility that you might look into making additional weapons to add to the vehicles, maybe as an online exclusive?
That's my jacket!

The Klamath Mountains of northeastern California were one of the focal points of the 1849 gold rush. The region is the second most productive gold district in California. Placer gold was first discovered in the regions streams and rivers in 1848, and the lode gold was found in nearby French Gulch in 1852 (Clark 1970). Mining in the French Gulch area continued until 1942. From 1900- 1914, and again in 1930, gold mining activity was at its peak. During the 1970s and 1980s, a resurgence of mining interest for lode gold, copper, silver, zinc, and iron contained in massive sulfide deposits took place (Albers 1965). The name Whiskeytown comes from an early incident involving a team of donkeys that lost their footing on a local trail spilling a load of whiskey into a nearby ravine.
From historical remnants of the early settlers to the present, human interest in the area has continued with the creation of the Whiskeytown Lake and Dam. President John F. Kennedy dedicated Whiskeytown Dam on Clear Creek on September 28, 1963, during his last trip to California. The area was authorized on Nov. 8, 1965 and established as a Natural Recreation Area on October 21, 1972. Together with the Shasta and Trinity units (both managed by the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture), Whiskeytown is part of the 42,503 acres of Whiskeytown- Shasta- Trinity National Recreation Area (figure 2). This area received more than 750,000 recreation visits in 2006.
The Whiskeytown Unit, with its mountainous backcountry and large, man- made reservoir, offers many recreational opportunities while preserving the historical remains of the 1849 California Gold Rush. Whiskeytown Lake provides 58 km (36 miles) of shoreline and 3,200 surface acres of water at an average elevation of 369 m (1,209 ft). The lake was created by diverting water through tunnels and penstocks, including the Clear Creek Tunnel, from the Trinity River Basin to the Sacramento River Basin (Prokopovich, 1993). The most prominent geologic feature within the recreation area is the peak of Shasta Bally (elevation 1,893 m [6,209 feet]).
Whiskeytown National Recreation Area lies in the Klamath Mountains physiographic subprovince of the Pacific Border Province in northern California (figure 3) (CGS, 2002; USGS, 2003). Geomorphologically, this province is considered a northern extension of the Sierra Nevada, but this link is still unclear (CGS, 2002). The boundaries of this province are not well defined. According to Irwin (2003), the Klamath Mountains extend from about 43º north latitude (near the Umqua River in Oregon), south to about 40º15' (North Fork of the Eel River) a distance of approximately 306 km(190 miles).
The province extends roughly 113 km (70 miles) in an east- west direction from the Great Valley west to the Coast Ranges. In northernmost California and southwestern Oregon, the Klamaths are bounded on the east by the Cascade Range, which includes Mount Shasta. The province covers an area of about 30,562 square kilometers (11,800 square miles) (Irwin, 1966).
Following their formation, the Klamath Mountains were cut by several large rivers into separate mountain ranges. In the western Klamaths, an irregular drainage incised on the Klamath peneplain, an uplifted plateau. The uplift is responsible for a series of successive gold- bearing gravel benches in the canyons of the region (CGS, 2002). In California the northern half of the province is drained by the Klamath River and the southern half by the Trinity River (Norris and Webb, 1976). The principal ranges of the Klamath Mountains in California are the Siskiyou Mountains extending northward into Oregon and the Trinity Mountains to the south. Other ranges of the Klamath Mountains include the Salmon, Marble, South Fork and Scott Mountains. The highest point in the Klamaths in Oregon is Mt. Ashland reaching 2,295 m (7,530 ft), near the town of Ashland, Oregon. In California, the highest elevations are Thompson Peak, 2,744 m (9,002 ft) and Mt. Eddy, 2,755 m (9,038 ft). General elevations range from 610 to 1,524 m (2,000 to 5,000 ft) in Oregon and 1,524 to 2,134 m (5,000 to 7,000 ft) in California. The topography is rugged and steep throughout the entire province.

Story highlights
- Mount Etna, Europe's highest active volcano, erupted 200 times since 1500 B.C., experts say
- Kilauea, home of Hawaiian deity Pele, means "spewing" or "much spreading"
- Pantelleria is home to the cave where legend says Calypso kept Ulysses for seven years
- Mount Erebus is the second tallest volcano in Antarctica and is home to an active lava lake
They're stunning, dynamic and dangerous, plus they can teach you a thing or two about the Earth's history. Volcanoes possess undeniable allure, doubling as living laboratories and tourist attractions.
Volcanologist Rebecca Williams spends every second she can studying and relaxing near the Earth's lifeblood: lava.
"I had a real geeky fascination with volcanoes as a kid," says Williams, who is a member of the science faculty at the University of Hull in Yorkshire, England.
Across the globe, travelers are discovering their inner geek, joining scientists like Williams in exploring the geological formations capable of producing incredible natural beauty and unparalleled destruction. Volcanoes are the earth's natural ventilation system, unpredictably capable of jettisoning steam, ash, molten rock and lava.
Here's a list of volcanoes Williams says should be at the top of your must-visit list. Some of them are active, so be sure to check with visitor centers and local tour guides before heading out to explore.
"If (locals) say it's not safe to go someplace, don't go," she says. "But do go (see volcanoes) because it is the most spectacular thing you will ever see."
Tungurahua, Andes Mountains near Baños, Ecuador
Elevation: 16,475 feet
This active volcano high in the Andes Mountains has experienced periods of intensified activity in the past few years. Williams spent a month in 2005 doing research at the volcano known as "The Black Giant." Tungurahua consists of three edifices formed over 100,000 years.
The volcano overlooks the town of Baños, which Williams says is sometimes hit with volcanic mud flows caused by the mixture of rain and ash. During her research, a mudflow, or lahar, threatened to overflow into El Salado Baths, one of Baños' mineral-rich hot springs.
The town is known as a gateway to the Amazon and for its basilica dedicated to the Virgin of the Holy water. The Nuestra Señora del Agua Santa celebration takes place in October and the town's anniversary is in mid-December.
Pantelleria, Sicily, Italy
Elevation: 2,742 feet
Pantelleria's only eruption in the last 3,000 years was underwater. The volcano shares its name with the island, which is known as the "Black Pearl" of the Mediterranean because of its remoteness, world-class wine and its crop of tasty volcanic soil enriched capers. Pantelleria is Sicily's largest offshore island and lies closer to Africa than Italy.
Williams did research for her PhD here between 2006 and 2010 and says an eruption 50,000 years ago spewed ignimbrite deposits so hot that they instantly melted, forming a still visible black and dark green sheet of obsidian glass, often referred to as Green Tuff, across the island.
Pantelleria is home to Grotta di Sataria, a cave with hot springs where, according to legend, Ulysses was kept for seven years by the nymph Calypso. Quiet coves offer great snorkeling and diving.
Mount Etna, Sicily, Italy
Elevation: 10,922 feet
Located on Sicily's east central coast, recent studies show that Mount Etna's unpredictable activity increased significantly in the last decade. Mount Etna is Europe's highest active volcano, erupting 200 times since 1500 B.C., according to National Geographic. Check the national park website and with local guides for information on volcanic activity and excursions. The area was recently added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage sites.
Williams visited when it was covered in snow during the 2006 ski season. She didn't see lava flow at its active vent, but there were active ash eruptions.
"As a tourist you can get pretty close and it puts on a pretty good show," she says.
Mount Etna overlooks Catania, Sicily's second largest city, where visitors can soak up its history in the central Piazza Duomo and at the ruins of a Roman amphitheater. Check out the foundation of many delicious Sicilian dishes at the fish market.
Kilauea, The Big Island, Hawaii
Elevation: 4,008 feet
Since 1983, Kilauea's lava has destroyed 181 homes, a community center, a visitor center, a church and a drive-in, according to the National Park Service. Williams calls it the "Disneyland of volcanoes" because of the near-constant lava oozing that has created almost 500 acres of new land in the last 30 years.
More than 2.5 million people visit the volcano annually, which is located inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The park contains more than 150 miles of trails for walking and hiking. Biking is allowed on roads and some trails and there are campgrounds inside the park.
"I used to go before dawn and watch the sun rise over the lava flows," says Williams. "It was just stunning." The park is open 24 hours a day, so nighttime viewing of the glowing lava is also a possibility. Viewing conditions are variable, so research the best viewing spots and safety advisories online.
Kilauea in Hawaiian means "spewing" or "much spreading," and is the youngest of the Big Island's volcanoes, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It is believed to be the home of Hawaiian volcano deity Pele.
Eldfell, Vestmannaeyjar, Heimaey, Iceland
Elevation: 915 feet
Eldfell, Icelandic for "mountain of fire," was believed extinct when it suddenly erupted in 1973, forcing the evacuation of the entire population of the island Heimaey, which is among the Westman Islands. The volcano has been inactive since the eruption.
Most of the town of Vestmannaeyjar and its harbor were saved from the lava flow by using large pumps to spray seawater onto the lava, cooling it enough to stop its movement.
"That was maybe the only case that man has had any ability to successfully affect a lava flow," says Williams. "It was only because they had an unlimited amount of water."
In addition to tours of Eldfell and Helgafell volcanoes, Vestmannaeyjar features a thriving fishing industry, whale watching expeditions and a museum of natural history.
Mount Erebus, Ross Island, Antarctica
Elevation: 12,444 feet
Mount Erebus, the second tallest volcano in Antarctica and the most active Southerly volcano in the world, is home to an active lava lake that sends puffs of steam into sub-frigid air.
"When the lava cools and a crust forms, it (the crust) will move and then sink down again," says Williams.
Under the cover of total darkness for four months of the year, the only way to reach its summit is by helicopter or walking in temperatures ranging from 4 to 60 degrees below zero. Definitely not the most hospitable volcano on the list, but Williams says she dreams of doing research there because it combines her two favorite things: volcanoes and Antarctica.

Just under 12 months ago, Dean Brownlie was busy going about making an unbeaten 77 in a test match against Australia in Brisbane and seemingly locking himself in for a lengthy stay in New Zealand's middle order.
His ability to play pace - particularly the short ball - was a rare sight for a batsman in a black helmet and it looked as though the Perth-born right-hander had made the right call to move to Canterbury from Western Australia in 2009 in search of a chance to play international cricket.
But Brownlie's bubble burst on the tour to the US and West Indies over the winter when he made only 79 runs in nine innings and was dismissed by spin bowlers five times.
The fallout meant he wasn't picked in the New Zealand squad for the Twenty20 World Cup in Sri Lanka, and he was also left out for the current tour there.
As a consolation prize he was given the chance to play for New Zealand A against India A in September in a series that included four-day games and 50-over fixtures.
Following India A's tour to New Zealand, when Brownlie made 106 in the final four-day encounter, the 28-year-old was sent to India for a batting camp on playing slow bowling in spinning conditions.
He made 113 for Canterbury in their season-opening Plunket Shield encounter against Otago last month and said he didn't feel like he was the forgotten man on the national scene.
"I wouldn't say I'm out of the picture," Brownlie said. "They gave me a great opportunity to go to India just before the season for two weeks and I got back a couple of days before the first four-dayer and I really learned a lot.
"Basically they sent me there with the hope that in future tours to India that I'll be part of that. So I certainly don't think I'm out of the loop. I just feel like they gave me a great opportunity to score some runs for Canterbury and, if I do, I'm sure they'll pick me."
As for what the New Zealand selectors had told him, the message was simple.
"They just said go back and get some runs, which is obviously the key, and if I'm not scoring then I'm sure someone else will and they deserve the spot. I've just got to score as many runs as I can and help Canterbury get as many wins as I can."
Brownlie managed scores of only two and seven for Canterbury against Otago this week but, given the merry-go-round selection policy that embodies the New Zealand cricket team, it's likely Brownlie will get another run in the national side in the future.
The upcoming tour to South Africa is an intriguing prospect given the hard and fast pitches there and a Proteas pace attack led by Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel. But Brownlie acknowledged it wouldn't be an easy road back.
"It's as hard as when you first make it, I guess. If I score runs I'm sure there will be opportunities. If I'm scoring runs and the New Zealand team's going well, then I'll just have to keep scoring runs until it's not and basically that's all I can do."

The movies where Lindsay Lohan is a sweetheart are nearly a cultural relic; the ones where she's a good actress are even harder to find. Here, she displays some real chops channeling Jamie Lee Curtis when mother and daughter get switched in order to better understand how difficult each other's lives are.
The movies where Lindsay Lohan is a sweetheart are nearly a cultural relic; the ones where she's a good actress are even harder to find. Here, she displays some real chops channeling Jamie Lee Curtis when mother and daughter get switched in order to better understand how difficult each other's lives are.
The producers of The Change-Up knew where to find Leslie Mann: She also played the long-suffering wife to Matthew Perry in this winner. The photo is from the creepy scene where, after he's been reverted to his 17-year-old self (Zac Efron), husband and wife dance. Shudder.
When a popular high school student (Rachel McAdams) steals a pair of African earings and losses one to a scuzzy criminal, she puts one on and finds herself in the criminal's body. In a man's body, the high school cheerleader learns secrets about her parents and her best friend's boyfriend, and how lucky she is to have her guy (who's played by Mathew Lawerence, so we already knew that).
It's one thing for a woman to wake up in a man's body. It's another thing to wake up in Rob Schneider's body.
81-year-old Jack is in a car accident and his body ends up in a coma, but his soul ends up in the body of his 18-year-old grandson. Jack is filthy rich and was happy with his life, but when he sees things from this new perspective, he realizes he's made a lot of mistakes. Creepiest moment? When Jack's young wife hits on him... while he's in his grandson's body.
It's like Seventeen Again, but a lot wrinklier.
Rita (Meg Ryan) falls in love and marries Peter (Alec Baldwin) but at their wedding an old man gives her a seemingly innocent kiss... and they swap bodies. The key to their magical switch back? Peter figuring out if it looks like Rita and sounds like Rita it's not nessarily Rita.
In which Meg Ryan body swaps with the creepy bus driver from Mrs. Doubtfire.
One of the greatest bad TV movies: Smart younger sister Hayley (Danielle Harris) switches bodies with ditzy Alexia (Katherine Heigl). Hayley gets to be the queen bee but helps improve Alexia's image by making her more responsible, while Alexia makes Hayley's body loosen up and have more fun, getting her friends.
Basically 17 Again from the '80s, high schooler Chris switches bodies with his dad, and they learn to appreciate each other. It should be noted it stars Kirk Cameron before he found Jesus, Dudley Moore (the guy from the original Arthur and Sean Astin, a.k.a. Sam from Lord of the Rings.
Popular football player Woody (Air Bud's Kevin Zegers!) and nerdy bookish Nell (Samaire Armstrong) are two high school students who don't get along, and this doesn't help when they switch bodies on a field trip to a museum. First they destroy each other's reputations, then they fall in love. So basically it's like every other rom-com.
The reason we couldn't find an actual photo of this is because it's a trilogy of student films, about different people who are in love with Natalie Portman. Here's what we could figure out about each part...
Sex: Guy wakes up to find that he's ended up in the body of Natalie Portman.
Drugs: A virginal girl pays for a pill that would let her have sex with Natalie Portman.
It looks as if the third part, Natalie Portman, never actually got filmed. Also, let's bask for a moment in our brilliance of locating a photo that actually does feature sex, drugs, and NP.
