Will do! Not just because of my tastes though. I respect everyone here's opinion - heck this is a thread ASKING for everyone's opinion in the first place.Originally Posted by Droid
But we now have 13 out of 16 votes in. From the regulars, only LuciferSam and Evenflow haven't voted in a past round. They can always submit late votes for any round they haven't already voted on anyway.
But Celebration Amidala has 12 votes to the blonde handmaiden's 1. It's really clear who people want the most now. Amidala ties with herself (in the purple Return to Naboo outfit) for the character receiving the all-time most votes!
We will do run-offs from Episode One: The Phantom Menace, later. To keep it fresh, and let any late votes come in, we're going to put up for Memorial Day Weekend the first round of characters offered (That have never been made before) for ATTACK OF THE CLONES!
This group of characters have been chosen to represent all the possibilities from the landing platform attack up until Padme "retires for the evening" just prior to Zam Wessel's attack.
Warning: there are some difficult choices in this round!
Corde (Senator's Decoy from starship explosion)
Sly Moore (when we see the prototype, it'll be enough for this thread to ignore)
Kit Fisto ( more articulation, relaxed pose, Jedi robe)
Luminara Undulli (more articulation, relaxed pose)
Barriss Offee (more articulation, relaxed pose)
Padme Amidala (Galactic Senate - from speech in deleted scene)
Dorme (Senator's Personal Aide)
JarJar Binks (Palpatine's Office / Padme's Apartment robes)
Padme Amidala (Palpatine's Office / Private Apartment)
Captain Typho (regular duty uniform)
Anakin Skywalker (Padme's apartment, non-preposed Jedi robes)
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Padme's apartment, non-preposed Jedi robes)
This group is incredibly tough to vote on. I actually want ALL of these figures pretty darn bad.
Good figures of Anakin and Obi-Wan, though the characters are offered, are terribly tough to turn down - especially how Anakin's robes hang on him like Darth Vader's!
My dioramas can get by using the "wrong" Typho and JarJar, but still...
The Jedi resculpts have to be done though. You can't have Bariss and Luminara striking battle poses in the Chancellor's office. The Royal Guards would have reacted and we all would have found out about the Sith a lot sooner if these Jedi misbehaved like that! (I used the CW "naked" Kit Fisto and put a softgoods robe on him very tightly, and I got a decent Kit for effect - still it's not the same thing and he's the only one in this diorama wearing softgoods )
Sly Moore and Corde are two higher priorities I'd like to have. They are important to their scenes and you just can't replace them somehow.
Now DORME would be too cool to get! She's in many scenes on Coruscant throughout the early part of the movie, has a lot of speaking lines ("what if they realize you've left the capital?") and they've so far ignored her.
And I trust Sly Moore's confirmation is correct, but I won't die if it goes the way of the sandcrawler, because...
Padme Amidala (Palpatine's Office) wins it again. (everyone pause to act like it's a big surprise). But seriously, what's the point of the whole movie?
.......................Senator Amidala, the former Queen of Naboo
...............is returning to vote on the critical issue of
........creating a grand ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC to
...counter the increasing Separatist threat
and assist the overwhelmed Jedi
So it seems ridiculous that we don't have a figure of Padme performing her duties as a Galactic Senator yet. While the deleted scene Padme would be nice, it's the lowest priority next to all the official on-screen figures they could do - especially a figure of Padme in this outfit which got significant screen time. I'm voting for Padme Amidala (Palpatine's Office)

#24 - Gone but not forgotten
This round interests me, because in large part it lists figures that should have been sculpted in more neutral poses the first time. I agree, they should have made more neutral poses, but I can't vote for them in the poll of favorite figures NEVER made. Different outfits are one thing, different poses are not and should not win this poll. Funny though how Hasbro keeps saying the main characters sell and keeps rescupting them but we have come up with a number of major characters outfits (OK, mostly Padme) that haven't been done before.
I have been really irked that they have not made an Anakin and Obi-Wan in Jedi robes similar to the Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in Jedi robes made for Episode I. (Now that I think of it, maybe I'll put an Episode II Anakin and Obi-wan head on the body of the Episode I Qui-Gon and Obi-wan; I have way too many of those figures anyway) Why have all of the Anakin and Obi-wan figures been so scene specific as opposed to their actual everyday outfits as Jedi?
I am voting for Anakin Skywalker (Padme's apartment, non-preposed Jedi robes) It could be used in so many scenes as opposed to Padme's scene specific outfit. I hope they make an Obi-wan too, but I had to vote for Anakin because they may make an Episode III figure of Obi-wan in his robes, whereas if they did with Anakin he'd have the robotic hand (or a glove) and wouldn't really be from Episode II.
I'm going to go with Sly Moore on this one. I've wanted this figure for a while. I can't remeber off hand what the senate padme looks like but I still think I would vote for Sly.

For me, it's a toss up between Anakin Skywalker & Obi-Wan Kenobi (Padme's apartment, non-preposed Jedi robes). If they are similar to the Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon figs from Episode 1 (with the lightsaber and lighsaber hilt that attached to the belt).
I guess I'd like an Anakin first, then and Obi-wan.
[FONT=Book Antiqua]He passes to Moses - He shoots, he scores![/FONT]
Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
Going back to an earlier round, my calculations are that Gragga/Swokes Swokes has 4 votes, Wald has 4 votes, Quardinaros has 4 votes, and Kitster has 3. A runoff might be appropriate, though I know Tycho you said you would do those later. I also know there was some confusion about the Wald/Kitster situation. I voted for Kitster because I think he was a more significant character than Wald (and the Episode I figure I most think should be made); however, if there is no runoff I will change my vote to vote for Wald (the number two figure from Episode I that I most think should be made) Without a runoff, that would put Wald over the top with 5 votes. He is a more unique figure than Kitster, so that wouldn't be so bad. (Maybe if I put Episode II Boba Fett's head on an Episode I Tatooine Anakin figure it would make a good Kitster?)
Also, it is funny that major characters are winning round after round. We, the hardcore collectors are voting round after round for new outfits for Padme and Anakin over that guy third to the right in the back. Why isn't Hasbro making these major character outfit changes? It is in keeping with their philosophy that main characters sell better AND making collector's happy.
I think its a bit unfair to run the main characters versus the background character. We all want the main characters. We become hardcore collectors because we want the guy third to the right in the back. The problem with Padme is she has 15 more outfits than anyone else and historically female figures didn't sell well. I think that is changing but its still a lot for one character.Originally Posted by Droid

Answers about BOTH Wald and Anakin Skywalker resculpts / Padme issues...
Yes, right now you are correct with the score:
4 Gragga
4 Quadrinaros
4 Wald
3 Kitster
2 Ann or Tan Gella
1 Dud Bolt
There are 18 votes but 16 people. This is because 2 people had voted for a Wald-Kitster 2-pack which was not offered in the poll. So rather than discounting their votes and asking them to recast them, I saw it fit to just give both Wald and Kitster each a vote from those 2 participants. Overall it didn't effect the outcome as one more person that read the instructions decided to favor Wald over Kitster and it seems to be settled between those 2 for now. However, that pits Wald against 2 other contenders and I can't "erase 2 of Kitster's votes and give them to Wald" because they are the same 2 votes Wald already has.
Choice 1: wait for new people to vote to choose a clear winner
Choice 2: Droid, I can change your vote since you only voted for 1 of them and it will put Wald over the top, but perhaps I should do it when we come to the E1 run-off?
The question is "will Wald defeat Padme Handmaiden, Queen Purple Return to Naboo Gown, Wookiee Senator Yarua, or Queen Theed Celebration Gown?"
We don't know yet, but I want to hear from anyone who objects to me letting you change your vote before I go ahead and do it, because Gragga and Quadrinaros' fans here certainly want their character of choice to get a fair shake at the quarter-finals.
Like I said, this will be much easier if someone new like JediTricks or TheDarthVader, InsaneJediGirl or another forumite comes in and adds their vote - especially if it breaks up the 3-way tie going on with Gragga, Quadrinaros, and Wald (but they could vote for Wan Sandage for all we know).
It is interesting that main-character sculpts, and even a re-sculpt (E2 Anakin) is winning over other background characters (for the moment) - and that Hasbro has never made this character.
So let's look at the history of Anakin Skywalker, since it's him (in dark brown) specifically that we're talking about.
1) Hanger Duel - had action features and necessity of a removeable arm
2) Tatooine Attack - added "animation" to the character to show rage
3) Deluxe vs. Geonosian - again - some animation to show "surprise"
4) Deluxe Force-Flipper - shows constipation? Your guess is as good as mine
5) Speederbike - shows effects of lobotomies performed by Jawas- Really.
6) Secret Ceremony - offered Droid hand, but cloak is flowing wild - almost perfect
7) Clone Wars - offeres pilot gear, and macro-binocs on belt for cool look
All of these features could have been added (save for face expressions without switchable heads) to ONE Anakin Skywalker figure and given us the ultimate version if it had a place to hang an extinguished lightsaber hilt on the belt and had one long flowing relaxed Jedi cloak (Jedi Temple / Padme Apartment). The super-articulation is I guess best in Anakin Secret Ceremony - but if they gave that figure a removeable arm (via pop-out not magnet) and a droid arm alternative included, he'd have been perfect.
Hasbro knows this. Instead I believe it was a conspiracy to plan it this way, so that while they need to keep offering Anakin Skywalker in some version to continue gaining collectors out of new fans (kids and whimsical adults who didn't collect before), they can offer us an Anakin they know we always wanted and that they've never done before.
Think about it: they could have done this Anakin when they produced the Hanger Duel Anakin 2 years ago! This is the only explanation as to why they didn't! Even the action feature in the back could have worked with a figure I described above.
Now while they are doing "Ultimate" vintage OTC figures at $10 a pop, they could also re-visit Anakin this way - but besides it not being an OTC figure, they don't need to charge us an outrageous amount to produce this character - especially since he doesn't have a 1977 reproduction cardback that "needs" a plastic protector case over the outside of the carded figure. (well, to tell the truth, I think for the v-otc's it's a cool concept -but I'm not yet planning to buy any myself)
In any case, due to her many, many, many (did I say "Many?") wardrobe changes, Padme Amidala might be as much of a main character as you can get, but every outfit change is in fact really a completely new figure because its sculpt would look nothing like a previous figure the way another Anakin in dark brown Jedi garb would (in spite of the fact that we need this Anakin - badly!)
But for right now, Hasbro chooses to play it cheaper and offer up the Hanger Duel figure again in the HOF assortment so that newbies can have him.
Meanwhile, in Episode 3, Anakin will have long hair and a scar (please, I doubt it's a spoiler now after how many insider pictures (?) so if Hasbro offers the AOTC Anakin figure the way we want it later on, it will be assured of great sales.
So it is a conspiracy after all!

I am not trying to screw anything up. Just leave my vote with Kitster for now. Perhaps later there will be a runoff between Wald, Quadrinaros, and the chuba seller. I don't want to make your head explode if people keep changing their votes every five minutes. I'd rather have Kitster anyway. Maybe those who haven't voted will rush in to put Kister over the top. I guess it is silly to change my vote right now, with the voting still open on that poll!
I do not consider a simple Anakin with his hand in tact in robes figure a resculpt. Maybe I'm wrong. I guess it is all semantics.
Well, I'm off, have a great weekend folks. I hope that there is alot to read from this thread when I get back!

Corpus Christi is link to US-Latino history
Published: Sunday, May 26, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 24, 2013 at 12:21 p.m.
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — For most residents from bigger Texas cities, the South Texas city of Corpus Christi has always been a day-trip destination for a quick beach getaway. But often overlooked are the coastal city's deep roots in Mexican-American history, some of it wrapped up in the civil rights movement.
If you go
Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History: 1900 N. Chaparral St.; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, noon-5 p.m. Sundays; $12.50 adults, $6 children 5-12. (www.ccmuseum.com/)
Mary and Jeff Bell Library: 6300 Ocean Drive, Texas A&M University Corpus Christi; 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Exhibit about Dr. Hector Garcia, Viva Kennedy and Mexican-American civil rights is on second floor of library. Statue of Garcia is in front of library on Garcia Plaza. (http://rattler.tamucc.edu/)
Seaside Memorial Park: 4357 Ocean Drive. Graves of Dr. Hector Garcia and Tejano singer Selena.
Selena Museum: 5410 Leopard St.; 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday; $3 adults, $1 children under 5, infants free. (www.selenaetc.com/museum.html)
Selena statue: Peoples Street T-Head and North Shoreline Boulevard.
And while Corpus Christi doesn't have a huge number of museums or landmarks connected to Latino history, visitors can find plenty of interesting things to see, from an exhibit about a physician and civil rights leader to a statue of the late Tejano star Selena.
Corpus Christi was formally founded in 1839 as a trading post, but it's likely that shipwrecked Spanish explorer Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca explored the city's shores in the 1500s with African slave Estevanico. The shipwrecked travelers became famed healers among American Indians, visiting the sick in villages throughout what is now Texas, which historians later characterized as an early example of a multiracial effort. Little physical evidence of that voyage exists in the city today, but the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History offers an exhibit of artifacts from another excavated Spanish shipwreck which includes a section of the ship's wooden keel and verso guns.
In more recent times, Corpus Christi served as the launching pad for the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), once the largest Latino civil rights group in the nation. Founded in 1929 by World War I veterans, the group served as a key player in some of the most dramatic moments in the Mexican-American civil rights movement. The group helped raise money for a legal team led by San Antonio lawyer Gus Garcia and Houston attorney John J. Herrera to successfully take a case to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1954 challenging a ban on Mexican-Americans serving on juries in some parts of Texas.
There does exist, however, a nice exhibit to the late Dr. Hector P. Garcia at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. The physician and civil rights leader founded the G.I. Forum and helped bring national attention to a funeral home in Three Rivers, Texas, that reportedly refused to offer chapel services for a Mexican-American World War II soldier killed in battle. (A graduate student later argued that the funeral home owner didn't want his chapel used not out of racism but because of a dispute between the widow and the soldier's father-in-law, a story that at least three historians said has been proven false).
Garcia also played a role in organizing Mexican-American World War II veterans who raised money to pay for poll taxes and later led the Viva Kennedy Clubs in Texas to help elect John F. Kennedy to the presidency. Garcia also provided health care to thousands of poor Mexican-Americans, sometimes at his own expense.
The exhibit housed at the school's Mary and Jeff Bell Library displays Viva Kennedy memorabilia, letters from various presidents and photos from the Mexican-American civil rights movement. Also kept at the library are Garcia's papers, which are popular among historians writing about the civil rights movement in Texas.
"Dr. Garcia kept everything," said Grace Charles of the library's Special Collections & Archives. "He left a trail that tells us a story of his time."
Also on campus is a life-size statue of Garcia.
In addition, every year in January on Garcia's birthday, dozens of Latino veterans come to Seaside Memorial Park, where he is buried, to pay their respects.
But by far the most visited place in Seaside Memorial Park — and possibly all of Corpus Christi — is the resting place of slain Tejano singer Selena.
Born Selena Quintanilla Perez, the rising Mexican-American star was killed in March 1995 by a distraught fan. Her death at age 23 was mourned all over Texas and has brought thousands of visitors to her resting place, where many leave money, lipstick and flowers in her honor.
Not far from Selena's resting place is a museum dedicated to the star. Operated by her family, the museum displays some of Selena's dresses, her Porsche and music memorabilia.
There's also a Selena statue at the seawall where fans leave notes and take pictures. It's as if they're saying, "At least you will not be forgotten."

By Tiernan Ray
Morgan Stanley's Katy Huberty today reiterates an Overweight rating on shares of Apple (AAPL), while cutting her price target to $600 from $630, after lowering estimates to reflect lower iPhone demand last quarter, plus the possibility of a pause in the June quarter in advance of an iPhone update in September.
Apple shares today are down 52 cents at $435.16.
Huberty's estimate for the fiscal Q2 ended last month goes to $41.38 billion in revenue and $9.59 per share in net profit from a prior $43.07 billion and $10.15 per share. Her projection for the June fiscal Q3 goes to $35.2 billion and $7.45 per share from a prior $40.07 billion and $8.76 per share.
Huberty notes Apple had its biggest-ever inventory build for the iPhone in the December quarter, up 84%, year over year, even as sales recorded by U.S. carriers showed some slowing of demand:
Our telecom analyst Simon Flannery estimates 9.5M iPhone activations in the Mar Q at AT&T, Verizon and Sprint. This implies 44% Q/Q decline, which is worse than -34% Q/Q a year ago. However, activations at the big three carriers will account for 29% of iPhone shipments in the quarter, which is higher than 26% a year ago, despite likely higher shipments into emerging markets.
She cuts her iPhone estimate for last quarter to33 million units sold, down from a prior 37-million projection, while also raising heriPad estimate to 21 million units from 19 million. It appears that because of the inventory build, production rates for the iPhone last quarter were trending at 30 million units — below her sales forecast, in other words.
Huberty holds out hope that other geographies, such as India and Brazil, will pick up some of the slack going forward, as well as new distribution with carriers such as Japan's NTT DoCoMo, and T-Mobile USA:
iPhone accounted for 16% of India's smartphone market revenue in the Dec Q or a 400% increase in share, according to IDC. Apple drove the improvement by increasing distribution, launching payment plans that lower the upfront cost of the phone, and improving the ecosystem as the iTunes Store went online in December. While shipments are still very low, it is important to prove success in other BRIC countries beyond China (see Brazil below) [...] We believe the price reduction is due to Apple's supplier Hon Hai producing Apple products in the country, which the local media reported on at least a year ago. Apple shipped 3.6M iPhones to Latin America in CY12, with the majority likely to Brazil in our view. Lower prices should drive significant growth off this base [...] T-Mobile starts shipping iPhones on April 12. In early April, Apple permanently lowered iPhone 4S and 4 pricing by up to 25% in Brazil. Historically, iPhone pricing is up to double the US due to import taxes.
Things to look forward to, she believes, are the June Worldwide Developer Conference Apple will host in San Francisco, when it may show off refreshes of iOS and Mac OS X, as well as new services, perhaps including streaming music and/or mobile payments; and the release in the September quarter of a new iPhone, a lower-cost model of the device; and refreshes of the iPad:
From our recent meetings with management, we believe Eddy Cue, Apple's head of Internet Software and Services, is working hard to improve Apple's existing Internet-based services, such as iCloud and Maps, and at the same time planning to launch new services. We believe Apple could charge either developers or users for some of these services, which could boost Apple's annuitized revenue stream and better monetize its large user base. For example, Apple could offer a streaming music service using a freemium model. Users could listen for free with advertisements, or pay monthly or annually to listen without advertisements and with potential access to more features. Kevin Lynch's move from CTO of Adobe (ADBE) to Apple is another sign that Apple could launch new services that leverage its large developer base. Lynch led Adobe's efforts in subscription-based services and wireless devices.

Cooking | Mushrooms and Onion Scapes Soup … cooking in season #soup #vegetarian #healthy
"Soup puts the heart at ease, calms down the violence of hunger, eliminates the tension of the day, and awakens and refines the appetite."
Auguste Escoffier
Mushrooms and Onion Scapes Soup … for the soul! I was completely mesmerised by the onion scapes I bought at the local bazaar. I love this fantastic season. Each time I step into the overflowing fruit and vegetable shop, I rediscover seasonal produce from last year. That day two large bunches of scapes stared at me, and again, shouting my name out LOUD!
How could I resist it? I asked the guy for a few stalks, and he packed the whole bunch off with me. Said, "Take the whole bunch. I know you'll do something with it. All yours!!" Seriously, they are beautiful. I put some in a milk-jug and they began opening into the most beautiful flowers a while later.
Wasn't very sure what I'd with so many, but knew how pretty they would look in a vase! Sometimes the real beauty of nature comes from flowers like these. I love them! A discussion with Man Friday followed where he declared these were garlic scapes. A nibble later, I figured they were definitely more oniony than garlicky.
I had mushroom soup on my mind that morning. With the weather nippy all over again, soups offer the ultimate comfort; a healthy option, even better. This one is simple, uses staple pantry ingredients, and can go gluten free too.
In the past I have made it with mushrooms, potato and a generous amount of fresh coriander. The base is often milk and some vegetable stock as I usually have a large jar of homemade stock in the fridge. When I feel indulgent, you can find me pouring in some low fat cream too! Oh and often walnuts to add texture…
Some onion scapes needed a more handy alternative to sitting in the milk jug as it was rather full. The soup offered the perfect destination. As I said, you can pretty much play around with the ingredients. Is fun!
I did something else with the soup too that night. I was making breaded chicken fillets for the kids. Instead of doing the normal egg, flour and breadcrumbs coating assembly line, I sneaked some soup into a bowl. Dunked the Italian seasoning marinated breast fillets first into soup, then into wholewheat home made breadcrumbs, and shallow fried the fillets.
While the son enjoyed his in burgers, the 'constantly on a diet' daughter ate crumb fried fillets with char grilled broccoli. The son came back to say these were the best tasting burgers ever! "Really nice Mama!" Must have been the soup!! Soup has been the call this winter! Loads of it.
So what's your favourite comfort or soul food in winter? Do you make soup from scratch? I did an amazing Smokey Roasted Tomato Soup {pictured above} for a client I am developing recipes for. Heard the other day that a friend was making pumpkin and peanut butter soup. I was completely intrigued. I guess it's time to explore more soups as winter is still here.
And before I scoot, it's time to announce the winner {s} of the Nirlep giveaway on my blog. A 1000 apologies for the delay, but I was travelling a little bit, and now the elder teen has her board exams. Between driving her up and down, and feeding her 'comfort food' on demand 24 X 7, there seems to be little time to blog!
Food however is always cooked in the PAB household, so the handi has been put to good use. I am really happy to have received it for review because I didn't know what I was missing! The Nirlep handi is very very versatile indeed. From cooking pasta until al dente to making pasta and pizza sauces, to numerous rounds of steamed bathua leaves or chenopodium{or lamb's quarter}of bathua ka raita, to delicious stir fried chicken mince, then meatballs too, I have seriously used it a lot!
I am thrilled to offer one as a giveaway that was announced when I reviewed the utensil. The winner of the Ebony Handi is Swapna Mickey. Since we had a load on entries, Nirlep offered to send Nirlep Cookware to two more participants. They are Reeta Skeeter and Manjeet Kaur. Congratulations ladies and thank you so much for joining the giveaway {and for waiting so patiently}. Will mail you shortly.

What Sort of Documentation Will I Need to Board the Ship in Miami?
Jam Cruise highly recommends all guests travel with a passport valid for at least six months beyond Jam Cruise 15. Although a passport is not required for U.S. citizens cruising in and out of the same U.S. port, traveling with a passport eases your embarkation and disembarkation experience. Delays can be caused by traveling without a passport when boarding and entering back into the U.S. Passports will also make it easier for you to travel back to the U.S. in case of the unexpected during Jam Cruise 15. For more information and to obtain a passport application, visit www.travel.state.gov.
The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative allows U.S. citizens (including children) sailing on cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. port to travel with one of the following documents:
- Valid U.S. Passport
- Passport Card
- Original or suitable quality copy of a state issued Birth Certificate. If your Birth Certificate has footprints on it, it will not be accepted (these are hospital issued certificates).
- If you are a recent U.S. citizen and have not yet received your U.S. Passport, you will need to bring your original Certificate of Naturalization.
- Trusted Traveler Program Membership Card (Global Entry)
- Original Green Card (no copies)
- If you are traveling on a student visa you should not book Jam Cruise at the end of your visa. If you are at the end of your visa, you must provide written proof of employment or risk being left on shore!
In addition to the above, a government-issued photo ID is also required for all guests.
If you have questions regarding your travel documents, you should contact Customs and Border Protection.
If you are not a U.S. Citizen, please call U.S. Immigrations at 1-800-375-5283 for guidelines on acquiring the proper identification for your nationality.
Pro Tip:
Take a photo of your state issued Birth Certificate on your phone. It must be clearly legible so that when its printed out it looks like a copy. You must be able to see the boarders. This way if anything happens to your passport before boarding Jam Cruise, you will have a copy of your Birth Certificate in your phone!
Please note that the name on your ticket must match the name on your passport. If you are recently married or have undergone a name change, please be sure to bring along supporting documentation.

Strategists have long feared that China's quest for natural resources would lead to ever-higher prices, a breakdown in trade and perhaps even wars. But a stunning rebuke to Chinese manipulation last week at the World Trade Organization is a sign that the global system is far more resilient than the worriers have claimed.
The ruling made public on March 26 centered on the Chinese strategy of restricting exports of raw materials—most notably rare earth elements such as cerium and neodymium used in high-tech defense and energy systems—to give Chinese companies a leg up and inflict damage on other resource consumers. The WTO panel declared the restrictions illegal and opened the door to retaliatory tariffs from the United States, Japan and others.
Analysts from elite universities to the Pentagon have worried that China is "locking up" commodities from crude oil to copper, building a mercantilist alternative to the system of global markets that the U.S. has long promoted as the best guarantor of resource security. The data point in a different direction. Chinese oil companies have bought properties from Angola to Canada, but most Chinese oil imports are procured on the open market. Moreover, most Chinese-owned oil produced abroad is sold to the highest bidder, not only shipped home. For some resources—notably iron ore, the second most traded commodity after oil—China's entry has actually pushed global trade in a more market-based, and less political, direction.
Still, analysts argue that China's voracious consumption of natural resources push commodity prices up and cause havoc for economies around the world. Between 2000 and 2008, Chinese demand drove prices for a host of resources strongly higher. But fear of a never-ending price spiral is unfounded. Supplies from slow-moving projects in everything from African copper to Australian gas are finally becoming available to meet Chinese needs.
High prices have also spurred remarkable technological innovation: One of the most notable developments has been the boom in U.S. shale gas and "tight" oil. This boom was induced by historically high prices and is now helping mitigate the risk of spiraling resource costs. Consumers around the world—including in China—are also adopting more-efficient technologies and processes, ranging from lightweight vehicle materials to steel recycling, reducing pressure on global resource markets and prices.

- Care & Cleaning
Print The fabric has been treated for general water repellency, however it may absorb a small amount of water should it be exposed for an extended period of time. If the fabric becomes wet, blot with a dry white or light colored cloth and allow to dry completely.
For simple spot cleaning, use a soft cotton cloth slightly dampened with distilled water (sodium-free seltzer water may be substituted) and a mild bar soap, applied in a circular motion. Repeat with distilled water only to ensure no residual soap remains. The fabric should then be allowed to dry completely.
Oily spots should first be wiped free of excess liquid. Talcum powder should then be sprinkled on the area and allowed to sit briefly. With a dry toothbrush, gently brush away powder to alleviate the soil.
The Florentine Vacchetta leather will characteristically darken over time, with use, and exposure to light. This leather should not be treated with creams, polishes, cleansing or conditional agents.

That's what I was thinking - a big ass electromagnet to collect up any metal thrown in. Silverware, rings, loose change, iphones, ...
I think it would be possible to let the Arduino create a pulse for the coil, and detect the received pulse length. But I have not seen such a circuit yet.

Old habits die hard for Lewis Hamilton
We completely relate to this.
You know how it is when you change jobs. It's tough to get used to the new routine in the beginning.
After I started here at Road & Track, I admit to jumping on the wrong subway out of habit that first week, heading downtown from Grand Central towards Chelsea instead of up to Hearst's midtown HQ. It happens.
Only when it's me or you, there isn't a global television audience watching live. Like when it happened to Lewis Hamilton today in Malaysia:

Hartke bass amps...you'll love them!
Hartke revolutionized the sound of electric bass when they introduced their aluminum speaker cones into the world of bass amplification. Larry Hartke learned the craft of spinning aluminum cones by hand in dies, and assembling speakers, from experince he gained working for A. Stewart Hegeman, renowned audio designer previously of Harmon Kardon. He applied that technology to stereo speakers and then to speakers for bass guitar. He started in Bloomfield, NJ, in a shop in the basement of the home he grew up in.
The first Hartke bass cabinet was built for bass legend Jaco Pastorius in 1984. Hartke contacted Jaco through business partner Ron Lorman, who was a sound man for a number of big name bands, including Frank Zappa and Miles Davis, and who received producer credits on Miles' "Decoy" album. Before long Hartke was seen on almost every professional stage.
Check the Hartke Bass Amps in stock now!
Hartke bass amps, onstage with Cream
Several well-known artists were using Hartke amplifiers and speaker cabinets, including Jack Bruce of Cream, Tom Hamilton of Aerosmith, Garry Tallent of the E-Street Band, Stu Hamm of Joe Satriani, and many others.
When sixties rock legends Cream reunited in 2005, Jack Bruce chose Hartke amps and cabinets for the gigs, over any other brand. While Bruce has been a long-time user of Hartke, it was necessary to audition bass setups from several other manufacturers in order to accurately recreate that authentic, vintage Cream sound. After several trials in a London rehearsal studio, Bruce decided to go with Hartke over all the rest (including the Marshalls he used originally). Cool or what?
This man wants to talk to YOU...call Larry Hartke on 201-680-8153 and ask anything about Hartke Amps!

One man injured in shooting near E. Pacific and Helena
SPOKANE, Wash. - Spokane police are searching for a group of men they believe opened fire outside a home, injuring one person in east Spokane late Friday night.
Around 10:30 p.m., Spokane Police Department said a group of men knocked on the back door of a home at 1607 E. Pacific.
Witnesses said the men then fired at least six rounds through the back door.One man injured in shooting near E. Pacific and Helena
One man inside the home was struck in the chest and taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
"I don't think that it's random at all," Sgt. David Staben said. "But why it happened? I could only speculate. But, I think there's something behind the story and we'll get to it."
The Spokane County Sheriff's helicopter, Air One, was in the air on an unrelated case and helped in the search for the suspects. No suspect descriptions were available as of Friday night.
Sgt. David Staben said officers were at the same home earlier in the day for a dead body.
In that case, Sgt. Staben said the person appeared to have died from a drug overdose.
It's unclear if the two incidents are related.
"We're processing the scene now, recover some bullets from inside the house," said Sgt. Staben

Libya: Concerns over shortage of medicines, fuel, shelter
With intense fighting in Misrata and insecurity in Tripoli and other parts of Libya in recent weeks, international access to assess humanitarian needs in the country has remained difficult.
However an inter-agency mission travelled to Misrata by IOM-chartered ship from Benghazi 1-2 June, to conduct a preliminary needs assessment. Partners brought food stocks and vaccines with them, and successfully evacuated 166 Third Country Nationals (TCNs). 40 young Libyan men, many of whom were wounded during recent fighting outside Misrata were evacuated on the same ship.
According to the latest OCHA situation report, the team estimated that there are some 25,000 displaced people in Misrata, many living in schools and in houses with friends, butemergency shelter is urgently need. Agencies are particularly concerned by the need to help women and children who are showing high levels of anxiety and trauma. Displaced children need psychosocial care, but schools remain closed as many teachers were Third Country Nationals (TCNs) who have fled the fighting, and the mental health system is not functioning. UNICEF is coordinating with relevant partners to organize safe play areas and recreational activities.
The widespread presence of Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) remains a clear danger to the city's population, with 13 incidents involving ERW reported so far. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is training local volunteers to raise awareness of basic explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) and Mine Risk Education (MRE).
The mission also reported widespread damage to the port city's infrastructure, including the airport, communications, water supply, power generation and distribution systems.
Another joint mission, led by the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) for Libya, Panos Moumtzis, travelled to Tripoli and surrounding areas including Zliten, Khums and Gharyan between 31 May and 4 June.
Agencies estimated that about 49,000 people displaced from Misrata are now staying in Tripoli and neighbouring towns. People are receiving adequate shelter and other assistance from the Government of Libya, but government officials said that food stocks may only last four to five weeks.
The mission also reported a shortage of essential medicines and surgical equipment in Khums, a town close to Tripoli. There is a national shortage of nurses, midwives, and doctors as many of these were foreign nationals who left the country at the start of the conflict.
Long queues were also observed in front of Tripoli petrol stations, indicating a lack of fuel in the city. The fuel shortage is reported to be affecting food prices, which have been increasing since the start of the crisis in February 2011.
After the mission the Humanitarian Coordinator led a partnership meeting on 6 June in Cairo to discuss how to better provide relief to people affected by the Libya conflict. More than 35 Arab and Islamic relief organizations, the League of Arab States, and UN agencies took part and agreed on four key areas for improved humanitarian partnership and cooperation including borders, early recovery, health, and food security.

Quoting washingtonian115:
Patty was cute yesterday before she was declared ...as soon as she was declared she started going downhill
Member Since: Posts: Comments:
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:50 PM GMT on October 12, 2012
Tropical Storm Patty formed late yesterday afternoon just east of the Central Bahama Islands. Patty is the sixteenth named storm of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, putting this year in a tie for eighth place for busiest Atlantic season since record keeping began in 1851. Patty isn't going to be around for long, though. Satellite loops show a very sickly storm, with the low-level circulation center exposed to view, and the storm's heavy thunderstorm all pushed to the northeast side of the center of circulation due to strong upper-level winds out of the southwest creating a high 20 - 30 knots of wind shear. An approaching cold front is dumping dry, stable air into Patty, and the cold front and high shear will likely destroy the storm by Saturday evening. Patty will likely have a minimal impact on the Bahamas. The storm has brought a few sporadic heavy rain showers to the Southeast Bahama Islands this morning, and this activity may continue through Saturday morning. A hurricane hunter aircraft is on its way to Patty, and will be there early this afternoon.
Figure 1. MODIS satellite image of Tropical Depression 16 taken at 11:16 am EDT Thursday, October 11, 2012. At the time, TD 16 had 35 mph winds, and was named Tropical Storm Patty six hours later. Image credit: NASA.
98L bringing heavy rain, high winds to Lesser Antilles
A strong tropical wave (Invest 98L) is bringing tropical-storm force winds and heavy rains to the Lesser Antilles this morning. At 9 am local time, winds at Barbados's Grantly Adams Airport hit a sustained 39 mph, which is minimum tropical storm-force. Wind gusts as high as 47 mph were observed on Barbados this morning. A pass from the Windsat satellite at 12:38 am EDT found that 98L had top winds of 35 mph near 17°N latitude, a few hundred miles east of Antigua. The storm is headed north-northwest to northwest at about 10 - 15 mph, and will bring tropical storm conditions to much of the Lesser Antilles Islands today and Saturday. The disturbance has plenty of spin and a large amount of moderately well-organized heavy thunderstorms, as seen on Martinique radar and satellite loops. An elongated, poorly-defined surface circulation is apparent just west of the central Lesser Antilles Islands, but satellite imagery and airport observations from the islands do not show the well-defined closed surface circulation needed for 98L to be classified as a tropical storm. An upper-level low centered a few hundred miles south of the eastern Dominican Republic is pumping dry air into the west side of 98L, and creating a high 15 - 30 knots of wind shear. An Air Force hurricane hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate 98L this afternoon.
Figure 2. Morning satellite image of Invest 98L over the Lesser Antilles Islands.
Forecast for 98L
Wind shear is predicted to diminish to the moderate range, 15 - 20 knots, tonight through Saturday night. Given 98L's current degree of organization, the forecast drop in wind shear, and a high degree of model support for development, NHC's 8 am Tropical Weather Outlook forecast of an 80% chance of development by Sunday morning for 98L looks reasonable. I expect 98L to be upgraded later today, and it will probably skip being classified as a tropical depression and immediately be named Tropical Storm Rafael. The models are pretty well clustered for the track of 98L, taking it north-northwest through the Lesser Antilles towards Bermuda. With most of the storm's heavy thunderstorms on its east side due to dry air to the west, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the eastern Dominican Republic are likely to see much weaker winds and less heavy rain than the Leeward Islands. The Leeward Islands can expect tropical storm conditions with occasional sustained winds of 35 - 45 mph today and Saturday as 98L moves through. The storm will make its closest pass to Bermuda on Tuesday morning, and it is possible that 98L will be capable of bringing tropical storm conditions to Bermuda. However, the track of 98L on Monday and Tuesday is rather uncertain, due to the possible interaction of the storm with the remnants of Tropical Storm Patty. 98L is not a threat to the U.S., though it could affect Newfoundland, Canada next week.

Ready, Set, Change
Published January 07, 2013 04:52
CHANGE: The word itself can mean many things to different people. To some, it triggers excitement and anticipation at the thought of potential challenge and new experiences.
To others, it triggers fear of the unknown and apprehension about what will happen.
Whether we perceive change as challenging or threatening will have a profound impact on our life's path, including if we achieve the goals we have set for tennis and for life.
Maybe you are trying to alter something about your tennis, to take your game to the next level, but just can't seem to move forward. You might know that there is something, like your footwork and speed around the court, which you need to change. You really do WANT to make the change, yet you can't act to make it happen. It's as if you are stuck.
Change can help you start something new and exciting, end something that is no longer rewarding, or let go of something that is preventing you from reaching your potential.
Change is an essential part of growth and evolution. Change brings creative energy that can empower your desire to reach your goals.
Change is actually a process that happens over time, with much of it being invisible to others. The process a person goes through to change occurs in five stages. Each stage is distinct and although people may jump around, there is steady overall progress over time with specific behaviors occurring in each stage. (As described by Prochaska's (1979) Transtheoretical Model of Change).
The first three stages of change are internal stages; only the person going through the process is aware that they are happening; and they are not visible to other people, yet change is still happening. Each stage is described below:
Stage Of Change
Process Of Change In Each Stage
Example With Player Pre-Contemplation
No intention of making any changes. Sees no reasons to make changes. Not aware of the benefits of change.
Always does the same warm-up whether playing right or left handed, baseline or net player. Feels comfortable with her preparation. Contemplation
Intends to make a change within next 6 months or so. Aware of the benefits of change (the pros) and of the costs or obstacles preventing her in making any change (the cons). Thinks a lot about the change and can get stuck not changing (procrastinating).
Is aware of the benefits of changing their service action (to increase first serve percentage and decrease risk of injury) however is concerned about the disruption this may cause within the season. Is thinking about the timing of when they may implement the change. Preparation
Intends to make change in the near future (within one month). Actively planning for the change, e.g. reading about or scheduling for it.
Has discussed the benefits of increasing her core stability with the Primary Health Care Providers. Plans to make time to get an exercise program at her next event. Action
Others can SEE changes in her actions. Can be difficult to initiate and maintain change. At the start, it feels unfamiliar. Having supportive others and clear plans to stay on track will help.
Practicing new service action with coach and has improved her first serve percentage in matches by 10%. Maintenance
Has made the change part of her lifestyle. The change is now more familiar and routine.
Does regular recovery routine (massage, hot and cold showers) after every match. Knows this is an excellent recovery routine which results in reduced muscle soreness and limiting injuries.
Change can assist you to improve your health, your performance, your friendships, and your interactions with others. HOW?
• Change moves your goals from dreams and wishes into action and reality.
• Making changes to your training load, recovery practices, lifestyle, attitudes, ways of thinking and communicating with others help you achieve other goals in your life.
Change is linked with personal growth and developing wisdom.
Change can open the door to new experiences and joys in life. Embrace the challenge of change!
"If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living."
Gail Sheehy (author)
Sometimes the thought of change sets off a cascade of distressing and worrying thoughts. Confusion, stress and uncertainty can predominate. Remember, failure is only a bad thing if you do not take the experience and learn from it. Often, this is related to fear: fear of what the outcome of the change will be and how it will affect you and others; fear of trying something new or different; fear of failing.
• Maybe others in your immediate group fear the change and influence your opinion about it.
• Maybe you believe some things about the change that are not factual. For example, you believe that improving your Core Stability will not make any difference to your current injury, when in reality, it will help you to heal faster and prevent reoccurrence.
• Maybe you need more information to put an action plan in place, or to make the change occur successfully.
• Maybe you are in the habit of doing something a certain way and have not stopped to evaluate if it's the best way for you and that making a change might benefit you?
Sometimes you know the positive aspects of making a change, but you can't get started. Maybe you are being blocked by some of the factors listed above. Begin to overcome your fears by taking a small step towards change:
• List the "pros" and "cons" of the change to clarify where you are "stuck".
• Get more information and/or seek out the expertise of someone qualified, like a counselor.
• Clearly define your goals and set action plans.
APPRECIATE that change is an inevitable part of life is the first step to successfully manage it when it occurs.
ANTICIPATE change and have some strategies to deal with it will also assist you to cope and adapt.
Remember change and growth go together; look for the positives in the situation.
"Champions Adjust."

1 step forward 2 steps back? openstack and img creation suck
dealing with image creation in all clouds is completely full of suck. I'd more or less come to terms on it with euca but now I'm trying to do the same thing with openstack and encountering some super-duper happy fun times.
I have a rhel6 img which works and boots – it is qcow2 based so it handles kernel updates, etc properly, yay. However it handles resizing the / filesystem exactly not at all.
If I make the rhel6 img an ami and upload kernel/ramdisk – it'll resize (well dump it out) into a large filesystem – no problem – but it handles kernel updates not at all.
I would like to have both, I think I deserve to have both, i'll be damned if any of my testing comes up with both. I've done a fair amount of googling and LOTS of things I've found say that the qcow2 or raw img should just work in either openstack essex or folsom but I am not having that experience.
Anyone have a suggestion?
