Nicole Morin Missing Person Case Revived After 29 Years
Have you seen this girl?
An eight-year-old girl disappeared "without a trace" 29 years ago, after she left her Toronto-area apartment to swim with a friend nearby. Nicole Morin, last seen at 11 a.m. on July 30, 1985, is thought to have been abducted from her Etobicoke, Ont. home.
Now, nearly three decades later, Toronto police are re-opening the missing person investigation.
Det. Sgt. Madelaine Tretter revealed new technologies, social media, and fresh leads prompted the revival of this case, according to the Toronto Star. Despite the fact that the 627 The West Mall complex did not have surveillance footage of Nicole's reported abduction, Toronto police, along with Crime Stoppers, have released a one-minute re-enactment video of her disappearance.
"No trace of Nicole Morin has ever been found," said Tretter, before admitting the police never lost hope prior to re-opening this case. "We do hope that, at the very minimum, that we'll find information as to what happened that day."
At a press conference Thursday morning, Tretter revealed the most recent tip in the Morin case came earlier this year.
For now, it remains unknown as to whether Morin went missing before meeting up with her friend, or if she even made it to her building's elevator. The motive behind who could have taken the eight-year-old — or if she had a familial or social connection to the abductor — also remains a mystery.
As for her family, her mother's final memory of her daughter is a passing goodbye they shared before she left for a swim.
That day, Morin's friend called her mother to let her know they did not, in fact, meet up to go swimming. Morin never made it to the pool that day.
In the re-enactment video, which was uploaded to the Toronto Police Services YouTube channel, the narrator calls the case one of the "most exhaustive and intensive investigations in Canadian history."
The National Post reports nearly 15,000 hours were spent on the investigation to find Morin. A 20-member task force was also formed, and 900 community members were actively involved in the search.
Now, using the hashtag #FindNicole, police, family and Crime Stoppers believe, in some form, the truth is out there.
"Witnesses may remember something they saw that can assist investigators," Toronto Crime Stoppers' co-ordinator Chris Scherk told the Toronto Star. "Also, criminals talk. They brag, and they confess. My belief is someone out there may know what happened to Nicole Morin in 1985 and for whatever reason feels like they can't come forward."
Police are not yet treating this case as a homicide, and say there is no evidence that would suggest Morin has died.
Born on April 1, 1977, Morin would be 37 today. When she was last seen, she had brown hair, stood at four feet tall, weighed approximately 51 pounds, and had a gap in between her teeth. Police have yet to release a rendering of what Morin would look like today.
Back on July 3, CityNews aired a profile on Morin's disappearance, where Det.-Const. Kim Litster-MacLeod said, "She's out there somewhere."
"If it takes the rest of my career to keep looking for her, then that's what will happen."
Jason Ellis, of Indianapolis, has been missing since Dec. 3, 2006. According to Project Jason, Ellis disappeared from an apartment he shared with two roommates.

However, Ellis' last two paychecks were untouched and his car was still parked at the residence. In 2010, authorities told local media that they suspect Ellis is the victim of a homicide, but investigators did not elaborate. At the time of his disappearance, Ellis was 160 pounds and 6 feet 1 inch tall. He had a tattoo of his mother's name, Neatrice, on his chest, tattoos of Scooby and Scrappy Doo on his left arm, and a tattoo of a maple leaf and his name on his right arm.

Susan Powell was reported missing by her family on Dec. 7, 2009, when she failed to show up for her job as a stockbroker at Wells Fargo Financial. Her husband, Josh Powell, told police he had been camping with their two children, then ages 2 and 4, and had last seen his wife around midnight.

On Feb. 5, 2012, police say Josh Powell attacked his two boys, Charlie, 7, and Braden, 5, with a hatchet and then set his home on fire, killing the three of them in a gas-fueled explosion. Since that time, a mountain of evidence has emerged that supports law enforcement's decision to name Powell the prime suspect in his wife's disappearance. Nevertheless, her whereabouts remain a mystery.

2010 Fight of the Year: Part 10
- Written by Dave Walsh
First off, my apologies for not having this up last night. Site maintenance caused a delay in posting.
For the final entry in our Fight of the Year series, we look at something a bit different...
Pornsaneh v. Pakon (Lumpinee Stadium, May 3)
My original plan was to include just kickboxing rules fights here, but reader cacti45 reminded me of this Muay Thai contest which would be criminal to exclude. Google this fight and you'll see phrases like "the best Muay Thai fight I've seen in years" and "some of the wildest action ever". How can you leave that out? This is the consensus Muay Thai fight of the year for 2010, and rightly so. Here you have Pornsaneh in red v. Pakon in blue. Pornsaneh at the time was at 13 Coins Gym, but has since made the switch to Sitmonchai, while Pakon is at Sakyotin. This is a very atypical Muay Thai contest, as Pornsaneh in particular is an aggressive fighter. He oushes the pace here right from the start, and Pakon responds, creating an excellent fight. It all culminates in round 4 (which starts at 1:30 in the 2nd clip) - if you don't watch the whole fight, you at least owe it to yourself to watch that round, which is like the Frye/Takayama of Muay Thai.
Great stuff there. Pakon picks up the win in what also is a nice example of Muay Thai scooring techniques. If you were looking at this from a pure kickboxing standpoint, you might give the win to Pornsaneh, who lands more. But Pakon uses more kicks and knees, which score higher in Muay Thai, so he earns the decision. Hope you enjoyed this one.

Christian Filipina founder Peter Christopher was interviewed by the BBC's Fiona Walker to learn how he has gained its reputation for integrity in spite of questionable practices at other dating sites in the industry.
"Rarely do you see a company act with such a sincere passion for what they do than with this site."
ChristianFilipina.com Named 2014 Best Mobile Dating Site.
My wife has much to love, such as I love her intense love for family that left me in awe, her resourcefulness to make money, and her work ethic that I witnessed first hand. I also love that she is a Christian woman who is totally committed to me. She loves children and I like seeing how she plays with them. I also love her accent that I told her she is not allowed to lose.Bob Vitols , Christian Filipina Member(met his wife at Christian Filipina)
Nope, the days of "mail order brides" where men and women might agree to get married based on pictures, without knowing each other, are over. So, we are not an Asian mail order bride agency or a place where you can buy a Filipina bride. In fact, there are no such agencies in existence. We are however proud of our Filipina ladies. We open the doors for sincere, professional Filipina Christians to meet friends from the Philippines and around the world. We are not a marriage broker and don't introduce clients for any particular purpose beyond friendship: it's up to you, the members, where to take the friendships you start here. We think that the common phrase "mail order bride" does not help to understand international romance.Ivy, Visa Consultant and Executive Tours Guide
We welcome members who are Catholic, Born Again, Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ), LDS, and other denominations. Whether you are a Pinoy OFW (overseas foreign worker), or any man or woman anywhere in the world, we invite you to join and be open about who you are and the importance of your faith in your life.Alvie, Romance Consultant at Christian Filipina since 2011
Men who want to meet sincere Christian women in Asia, whether or not they have experience with the Philippines or Philippine women. Because the Philippines has had a strong relationship with Europe and the United States for hundreds of years, it is the easiest place for an English-speaking man to meet a perfect Filipina who may some day become his Filipina wife. Not only do most Filipinas speak English, but they also believe in God and attend church regularly with their families.Glaiza, Romance Consultant at Christian Filipina

Important Owner Information
Please read the instructions and owner information carefully before attempting to assemble, install, operate, or maintain your Retrax™ bed cover. Here are some helpful hints for keeping your Retrax™ looking and working like new.
- Automotive (non-abrasive) wax can be applied to the cover and rails for extra protection against the elements and scratches.
- Secure cargo in your box to prevent shifting of the load and possible damage to the front canister.
- The Retrax™ bed cover should slide open and closed easily. Do not force the cover open or closed. Please call the Retrax™ Consumer Hotline (1-800-206-4070) before attempting any maintenance or repairs.
- Care should be taken when setting any items on the cover. If the cover is dusty or an item is dragged across the cover, scratching or hazing may occur. Treat your Retrax™ bed cover like the hood of your pickup. Do not wipe dust off the cover; it should be washed off.
- With proper care, the polycarbonate cover on your Retrax™ will last for many years. It should be cleaned with mild soap and water. Do not use any strong chemicals or cleaners of any kind. Do not allow gasoline to come in contact with the cover. The ball- bearing rollers installed on your Retrax™ are sealed-for-life and no maintenance or lubrication is required (do not use a lubricant). The channel of the rail can be wiped clean, if needed, to remove dust or dirt.
- Every effort has been made to make the Retrax™ weather-tight, however, the Retrax™ is not waterproof. Use extra care to prevent damage to items during severe weather conditions or while entering a car wash. Water may collect on the cover, remove water before opening.
- Do not force your Retrax™ open if ice forms on your bed cover after an ice storm or car wash. You should use your hand to gently tap around the perimeter of the cover, which should free up the weather-stripping that seals the bed cover along the edges. Lock de-icer can be used to free up the key lock. Do not allow de-icer to make contact with the bed cover.
- If your vehicle is equipped with a cargo management system, please review the additional instructions below.

Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large mixing bowl with a hand-held electric mixer), beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and beater with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the egg and vanilla and continue to mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until well blended, about 1 minute more.
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the cranberries and chocolate chips.
Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 or more cookie sheets (preferably flat sheets with one raised edge) with parchment or nonstick baking liners.
Using a 1-Tbs. ice cream scoop (or 2 tablespoons), drop rounded balls of the dough about 1-1/2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. (At this point, you can refrigerate the cookies, covered, overnight, or freeze until firm on the sheets and then transfer to zip-top freezer bags and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before proceeding.) Dip the tops of each dough ball in sanding sugar, and return the cookies to the sheets.
Bake two sheets at a time, rotating and switching their positions halfway through, until the edges and bottoms of the cookies are golden, 11 to 13 minutes. Let the cookies cool on their sheets on wire racks for about 5 minutes, and then transfer them to the racks to cool completely.
In a small bowl, mix the confectioners' sugar, cream, and salt with a spoon or rubber spatula until well blended and smooth. Add vanilla extract or paste and food coloring, if using, and stir until well blended. If necessary, add more cream a drop at a time for a thin, spreadable consistency. (The glaze can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before using.)
Arrange the cooled cookies on a rack set over a large rimmed baking sheet. Dip the sides of each cookie to cover half or more of the cookie. Let excess glaze drip off and then transfer to the rack.
Alternatively, use a fork to drizzle the glaze over the cookies on the rack. Or partially fill one corner of a small, heavy-duty zip-top baggie with glaze, squeeze out the air, and seal the baggie. Cut off the corner and gently squeeze the bag to drizzle the glaze evenly over the cookies.
Let the cookies remain on the rack until the glaze sets up, about 3 hours.
Once they're set, serve the cookies or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

SpongeBob SquarePants is one of the highest-rated children's cartoon shows of the era and of all time. It follows a naive and eternally optimistic sea-sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants and his endeavors in the underwater town of Bikini Bottom. Many supporting and equally popular characters tag along with SpongeBob, including a starfish, a squid, a crab, and even a squirrel who lives underwater. The show first aired on May 1st, 1999, and quickly took off with children. The series won 2 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Special Class Animated Program and Outstanding Sound Editing - Animation. The show is just as popular now as it ever was! Cast of Characters SpongeBob SquarePants - SpongeBob is the main character of the series and, as stated before, is somewhat dim-witted, sometimes to the point of driving his brighter friends up the wall. Despite this shortcoming, SpongeBob is a selfless creature. SpongeBob is a well-known fry cook at the Krusty Krab, Bikini Bottom's premier daytime eatery, and for good reason. No one denies that SpongeBob makes a delicious Krabby Patty, the burger of choice at the restaurant. SpongeBob lives in his pineapple home with his pet snail Gary. Patrick Star - Patrick is SpongeBob's best friend and is not the brightest fish in the sea - he lives under a rock, after all. Usually, SpongeBob and Patrick come up with a clueless idea that they think will be fun, but they usually end up in a lot of trouble for it. Because of his personality and dim-witted antics, Patrick is one of the most popular characters in the series. Squidward Tentacles - Squidward is a snobbish squid who lives in a moai between the houses of the two people he hates the most - SpongeBob and Patrick. He is constantly unhappy, mainly because of their antics. They have somehow been misinformed that Squidward is their friend, so Squidward is always badgered by them both. Squidward also dislikes his job at the Krusty Krab with SpongeBob. The only things that keep Squidward going are his tiki-shaped home and playing his clarinet. Sandy Cheeks - Sandy is a cowgirl from Texas. She is quite powerful and agile, so make sure you don't set her off! She is a very nice person though, and isn't all muscle. In fact, her love of science is what allows her to live underwater. She lives in a tree growing inside a large dome that keeps air in. If she leaves her air bubble, she'll wear a suit that lets her breathe. Mr. Eugene H. Krabs - Mr. Krabs is the owner of the Krusty Krab and is notable for his large cheapskate side. Mr. Krabs is completely in love with his money and lets nothing stand between him and it. He also has a daughter, Pearl the whale, though it is never explained how Pearl is a whale and Mr. Krabs is a crab. Gary the Snail - Gary is SpongeBob's pet snail and is the equivalent of an underwater cat. Although most of his sounds are cat-like mews, SpongeBob can understand exactly what Gary is saying, and Gary understands SpongeBob as well, probably better than SpongeBob understands himself. Sheldon J. Plankton - Plankton is Mr. Krab's arch rival and the not-so-proud owner of the Chum Bucket, the restaurant across the street from the Krusty Krab. Plankton has tried to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula from his rival Mr. Krabs on numerous occasions but has never succeeded. His wife Karen is a computer he built himself. Larry the Lobster - Larry is a macho lifeguard at the Bikini Bottom beach, Goo-Lagoon. He is constantly working out and is often the voice of reason when Spongebob tries something particularly dim-witted at the beach. Mrs. Poppy Puff - Mrs. Puff is the local driving school teacher in Bikini Bottom. She is a good teacher, but just cannot pass one student: SpongeBob SquarePants. SpongeBob has failed her class many times and has gotten on Mrs. Puff's nerves so much that she now has a severe hatred for him and has actually been driven slightly insane by him. Squilliam Fancyson - Squilliam is Squidward's rich and snobbish rival. He boasts about his money and is everything Squidward wants to be. He and Squidward's neighbors are the main reasons for Squidward's bitterness. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy - These two are a retired duo of superheroes that have their own television show. Mermaid Man is portrayed as a senile character, and Barnacle Boy, who is 68 years old, is constantly annoyed by him. Man Ray and the Dirty Bubble - These are a pair of dastardly villains in Bikini Bottom. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are too old to fight them alone and usually need the help of SpongeBob and his friends to get the job done. The Dirty Bubble is literally a bubble and can be popped by pointy objects. Man Ray wears a mask and has no real face behind it. He has been known to have a bit of a soft side. The Flying Dutchman - The Flying Dutchman lives in his flying pirate ship and haunts Bikini Bottom. His hobby and main reason for existing is simply to scare the citizens of Bikini Bottom. Theme Song Captain: Are ya ready kids? Kids: Aye, aye, captain! Captain: I can't hear you! Kids: AYE, AYE, CAPTAIN! Captain: Ohhh..... who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Kids: SpongeBob SquarePants! Captain: Absorbent and yellow and porous is he! Kids: SpongeBob SquarePants! Captain: If nautical nonsense be something you wish,Kids: SpongeBob SquarePants! Captain: Then drop on the deck, and flop like a fish! Kids: SpongeBob SquarePants! Captain: Ready? Everyone: SpongeBob SquarePants! SpongeBob SquarePants! SpongeBob SquarePants! Captain: SpongeBob...

Very nearly perfect. For the perfection, just add some ham or salted tunny-fish.
In Catalonia, where I come from, this is not in any way used as a tapa. For years we've used it as a way to keep bread used in sandwiches moist and tender and together with ham or cold meats as an entry or main course, specially in summer acompanied with a green salad.
The origin is uncertain but some historians say in the 1920s of the 20th century it was the way they had in "Masias" (farm houses) to keep old bread moist so they could still eat it.
You were right about this Dawn, it's delicious! Sometimes I forget how something simple can be sooo good. Nice ripe tomatoes are the key. We've had this a few times now on it's own or with a soup or salad for dinner.....just lovely!
I've made this twice now. Both times I used the remaining tomato (without the juice and pulp) to put in homemade guacamole.
I had this for breakfast nearly every day while I lived in Valencia. The bread was pressed flat, slightly grilled, and you could choose whether you just wanted the tomato rubbed on, like it is here, or you have the fresh tomato flesh minced (no seeds, skin or excess juice) almost like a jam or jelly. I always got it with the minced tomato, drizzled on a tad of olive oil and a pinch of salt. To. Die. For.

at the Palmetto trial coming up there is this note.....
The National Retriever Club has imposed a rule for dogs that are qualified for the National Open requiring that they shall not train or run on the grounds 30 days prior to the National. If you are already qualified, you are welcome to enter and run our trial but this will disqualify the dog from running the National. Dogs that are not previously qualified for the National, prior to the start of the trial, and who earn qualification points at our trial will be allowed to run at the National.
If you have any questions, please contact the National Retriever Club."
so it is possible for only one dog at the National to have run on these grounds 30 days before the National? I am i thinking correctly ?

Hello advogato,
I'm currently integrating Pliant database engine in the Pliant Debian installation script (installs Debian distibution without Debian installation tools and patches the Debian scripts on the file in order to proceed unattended: all the configuration files will be built on the fly from the content of the target computer description in Pliant database, so that when done, you don't have to change a single file by hand).
The FullPliant distribution has been upgraded as well: Pliant on top of Linux kernel with no extra code (except statically linked 'e2fsck' that I'm not fool enough to port to Pliant).
Will end soon (a few days) with upgrading the Pliant SMTP server to get accounts handled using Pliant database engine so that I will be back to HTTP+FTP+SMTP+POP3 Pliant servers running (was in release 25, one year ago ... before large cleanups).

I have been doing a lot of reading lately in old Scout literature. Old handbooks, Boy's Life Magazines from the '40's and other material in an attempt to do well.. a couple things. First learn more about Scouting, second learn more about William Hillcourt aka 'Green Bar Bill', and finally to develop some good resources for assisting my Patrol Leaders Council in their development. Not that the BSA does have some good training material out there (NYLT etc), but the BSA really does not have that much out there for training youth leaders in the Patrol method, at least not as much as they have in the past. And in my opinion (which is worth 2 cents and a cup of coffee) the new Scoutmasters Handbook is not worth the read compared to Scoutmaster Handbooks of even 30 years ago… the older the handbook it seems the more information.
Anyway to the point.
In doing all this reading I keep asking myself, "Who is the William Hillcourt of today? Who is the prolific writer, teacher, coach in the Scouting movement today? Who is that person that has filled the might big shoes of Green Bar Bill?
And the answer is…. NO ONE.
The information, writings, drawings, and stories of Green Bar Bill live on today. His work is still relevant in Scouting today. The answer NO ONE bothers me though… we need a Green Bar Bill! Don't we? So who is it? Who is the National Figure of the Boy Scouts of America today?.. please don't say Pedro.
I don't have a real answer for this question, but the more I dig and learn the more I long for another William "Green Bar Bill" Hillcourt. Don't you?
Have a Great Scouting Day!

text: FILM OF 1963 NATIONAL RETRIEVER FIELD TRIAL CHAMPIONSHIP: I just got my converted DVD copy in the mail today and finished watching it. It is obviously the raw footage produced for a TV show, perhaps the American Sportsman? It is twenty-five minutes long, black and white with sound. The expert commentator is the actor Andy Devine, who it is known was a regular member of the gunners at National events. Some of the scenes are a little dark, and the flicker can be annoying. But by and large it is very good. Because it is only twenty-five minutes, and the audience is by and large uneducated about field trials, the audience only gets a taste of each series.

Thread: Here Pleco Pleco...
Hybrid View
Here Pleco Pleco...
I had a phantom Blue Pleco....
Decided to kill itself by drowning in the plant roots....
So i went to the local store... Seen one of these bad boys...
L333 Yellow King Tiger Pleco, LOVED it instantly, looked at the price tag... Nevermind... They wanted $60 a piece for them.
So i talked to one of the kids working there, asking about it. He said it was there for around a month and a half, and that if i wait another month that he can give me a discount, so i waited a month. Asked, and he said he could drop the price to $48, which still wasn't appealing to me! I bought my phantom blue pleco for $23. I told him i would think about it.
Later on, another couple weeks later. go back, look at the tank to chekc if it was still there, and would you look at that, there was TWO of them! i ask the manager about taking in a couple trades. He said yeah, he would take a trade on the right fish. I offered my Adult Angelfish(wasn't getting along with my bolivian rams), raphael catfish(wouldnt need anymore after i get the plecos), and three aspistogramma's. He said he'd take those on trade, and in return i could buy both of the pleco's for $50! So of course i took that offer.
Now i have had these two yelow king tiger plecos in my tank with my bolivan rams for the past week. And the pleco's haven't really came out at all. I have my driftwood arranged so that there's plenty of hiding spots. lots of plants in the tank. and i feed them plenty of food.
They still dont come out!!! I want my $50 pleco's to come out so i can see them! My old gold nugget pleco would come out all the time! Same with my phantom blue pleco!
Please help me!
I can't see your photo, showing as far too large for my phone to load up.
I have several plecos, Gold Nugget, Royals, Clowns. Previously had an L022, common and an L262.
Best advice I have is overload you tank with hiding spots. The more there is the more comfortable they will be, this means they will cruise between spots allowing you to view them.
Aswell as that I have found some plecos are mega reclusive for upto the first month and a half of tank life. Best way to entice them out is by feeding cucumber/courgette/aubergine/melon/etc
Hope this helpsMy therapist says I need a bigger tank . . . . .
Been a month now, and the pleco's are starting to go around the tank, until they see me. I was wondering what kind of food i can give them. I read that these plecos prefer more of a meaty diet compared to the normal cucumber and zucchini.

Notes from our Certified Fitters:
Always contact your physician and/or therapist to determine the correct compression strength for your condition.
Care instructions:
Machine washable in lukewarm water. Do not bleach, tumble dry, dry clean or iron.
When to take measurements:
It is important that the edema is at its most reduced state. Most often this is found first thing in the morning or at the end of treatment.
How to take length measurements:
Length measurements should be taken from each circumference. It is recommended that you mark the leg with a non-permanent, non-toxic marker at each circumference measurement made.
The length measurement is then taken even with the floor, along the inside of the leg, up to each circumference point.
Many factors contribute to the overall health of our legs: heredity, weight, age, diet and activity level. But it's the internal function of the legs that also plays an important role: calf muscles, arteries, veins, and vein valves--the internal highway of blood and oxygen flow.
Your Circulation:
The flow of blood in the veins is assisted by a series of one-way valves. The valves remain open when the blood flows toward the heart, and then closed after blood passes through. Over time, an increase in pressure can stretch the vein walls. If a vein becomes enlarged and over-stretched the valves cannot close properly, causing blood to leak back down into the lower legs, resulting in poor circulation.
If this happens you may begin to develop symptoms, such as:
Using Compression Therapy:
Graduated compression stockings and socks are important to leg health. They help minimize muscle aches, swelling, and symptoms of fatigue. Exercise and a healthy lifestyle will strengthen your legs, but wearing graduated compression stockings or socks will support the internal function of the veins.

We recommend that donning gloves always be worn when applying your compression garments. These gloves have a gripping texture that makes it considerably easier to put on compression hose. Donning gloves also help to prevent tearing, snagging or putting a nail or finger through the garment. This is especially true with the sheer compression hosiery. Other people prefer to use a donning aid like the Juzo Slippie Gator or the Homecraft Compression Stocking Aid.
Don't forget the Jolastic Wash to help ensure your hosiery last for 4-6 months.

Predator Off Season (The Future Looks Bright)
Posted on 16 May 2009 by Victor Minicozzi.
The Predators and their fans were definitely disapointed that the late season run came up just short this year, leaving the Predators out of the Playoffs for the first time since 2004. The late season injury bug resulted in the Preds losing their entire 2nd line and 6 of their top 12 forwards. That is hard to overcome to say the least, expecially for a team that lacked scoring to begin with. ...

I recently took a look at some action figures produced using the 3D scanning technology, and I got a bit excited when I thought about the upcoming AOTC figures. I hope my expectations aren't going to leave me disappointed, but I don't really see how that would happen. I really hope they don't raise the price per figure. I could see Hasbro doing something like that.
So what's next? How about extreme articulation to accompany extremely accurate detail? Give them a GI-Joe-esque upper torso while keeping them the same below the waist (we can't have rubber bands that get brittle and break, or have action figures that are missing their "junk").

I'm a tad ( "in space talk, that's about a million miles" - semi sci-fi movie quote) past halfway through Revelation, and something came to me. The series title is "Legacy," and a decent working definition of that word means that which is remembered after something is gone, or that which continues beyond. Does this mean that Jedi win/Sith return is the legacy of the Force? Star Wars was a myth/fable/fantasy, where stories have ends that stay that way. The desire to have more SW is what's hurting the "canon" or continuity, a la Star Trek.
I like the books that occur within the canon, not so much the ones outside it (like Sith Wars [okay, these weren't bad] and NJO/Legacy [ugh...]). Post-ROJ stuff is fine, but too far off has been terrible.

Yoda's News posted photos of two new sets - the first (carded, loose) includes Sephjet Josall, Sarrissa Jeng, Roan Shryne, and Clone Commander Ponds; the second (carded, loose) includes Que-Mars Redath, Khaat Qiyn, Selig Kenjenn, and Clone Captain Deviss. The Jedi figures look to be reused or retooled bodies with new heads, while the clones are based on the 2003 super-articulated sculpt - it would have been a good place to debut the captain and commander versions of the 2011 sculpt, but these work fine.
Frankly I'm surprised we're getting this many random human Jedi, but these sets are awesome! Their presence in the arena is sorely lacking, and these sets feature most of the more prominent ones. No word yet on where they'll be available, but this looks like something TRU would pick up.
Sephjet Josall is one of the Jedi who throws lightsabers to Obi-Wan and Anakin - the other Jedi, Nicanas Tassu, was released in the Target exclusive Geonosis Arena Showdown sets a few years back.
Sarrissa Jeng is the "HI-YA!!!" female Jedi. Her figure actually looks like it uses mostly new parts.
Roan Shryne was a featured character in Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader.
Commander Ponds is Mace's clone commander. In the film, he's the one who informs Mace of the commando units awaiting his order. Here he comes with binoculars.
Que-Mars Redath (who's missing the "-Gom" from his last name for some reason) is a Weequay Jedi, similar to Sora Bulq.
Khaat Qiyn, another human female, was featured prominently in the AOTC Visual Dictionary. Here she sports much less makeup.
Searches for Selig Kenjenn don't show anything, but he's an Asian-looking male with two lightsabers.
Deviss has been made in his phase two armor (he was created after Bly's colors were changed from red to yellow), but he's just a normal red-striped clone captain. The boxed sample shows a paint error on his chin.

Other than the renamed/repackaged Galactic Heroes, haven't seen much new stuff in the last week or so. Where are the new figures??
Other than the renamed/repackaged Galactic Heroes, haven't seen much new stuff in the last week or so. Where are the new figures??
I got lucky this weekend. Found most of the latest CW wave at the C'ville Target: Commander Jet, snow Plo Koon, the new ARF and Hondo!
At one of the local Kmarts, found the newest wave of vintage: B-wing, Hoth Rebel trooper, Wicket, Rebel Fleet trooper. And they have the Boba Fett mail-away offer included!!
To celebrate I had some pumpkin spice donuts from Krispy Kreme. It was a good day.
Found the new CW astromech droid at TRU. Seeing the Revenge vintage figures hitting pretty regularly, too, at different stores.
Capt. Fordo still eludes me. Might have to wait until he reships in the spring.
I managed to miss out on most of WM's post-Christmas SW purge. I did manage to find a battle pack for $9.90, though.
Now waiting for the new stuff to hit.
Nice to see Target didn't follow suit and clearance everything out. The Clarksville store has the new display up.
Some of the new packaged figures are hitting the shelves before the street date. For the life of me, I couldn't tell the difference between the carded TPM Obi-Wan and the vintage TPM Obi-Wan, other than the price.
Not thrilled with some of the figures. Too many repacks, and inferior repacks at that (swivel-hip Vader, just to name one.)
My wife gave me five of the WM 3D figures for Valentine's day. Glad she did, cause those figures have all but disappeared from the stores.
Picked up a lot of individual figs and battle packs on clearance at various stores for customizing. Made a few new Jedi, including a clone Jedi!
Been out looking for the deleted scene vintage figures but to no avail. Really interested in the General and Mon Cal pilot.
The WMs down here got another shipment of the 3D figures in. I picked up an extra Naboo pilot. Love the head sculpt.
Found the cancelled WM DVD packs at TJ Maxx today. The Obi-Wan set is okay, but the Ahsoka set has the clone with a removable helmet. $10 each.
Picked up several TPM vintage figs during TRU's sale last week.
Still on the lookout for the deleted vintage figs.
I've been pretty lucky lately. Found deleted scene Luke and Mon Cal pilot, both on badly bent figures, but hey, they're openers.
Also found the Hoth Luke, CW Anakin and Imp Navy guy (old Death Star trooper) at Meijer. No sign of Malgus.

Shares of Netflix (NFLX) are recovering from a 7% drop a little while ago, following speculation activist investor Carl Icahn had sold off a stake in the streaming video outfit. CNBC a short while ago reported Icahn denied the rumors.
The channel reported Icahn, in fact, as stating he "has not sold one share of Netflix since buying," and reported he remarked that "subscription rates at Netflix will continue to climb," in his view.
The stock is now down $7.94, or 4.5%, at $168.75.

Pakistan: Rebuilding the lives of displaced families
5 June, 2012
Hide Main Image:
Show Image
Security operations in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA) since 2008 have uprooted thousands of families from their homes and villages to seek refuge in neighbouring Khyber Pakhtunkwa. Many of these people have returned to their villages after spending months or years away, but not all of them have been able to restart their lives.
Eighty-year-old Shalla Khan and his family recently returned home after spending four months in Nahqi camp just a few miles outside Mohmand Agency, one of the eight agencies of FATA. When they returned, they discovered that all their belongings including crops and livestock had been destroyed or stolen, leaving them without any way to rebuild their lives.
"We lost all our belongings, our savings, our livestock and our cooking utensils," explained Shalla Khan. "The wheat crop was completely destroyed and my house was damaged by to the heavy fighting. We had to leave with only the clothes on our back; we were in fear for our lives."
In an effort to help families like the Khans, a local NGO, the Society for Human and Institutional Development (SHID), launched a project to help people rebuild their livelihoods and the damaged infrastructure with funding from the OCHA-managed Emergency Response Fund. In Mohmand Agency's Safi district, aid workers from SHID met with the local communities and worked with them to find solutions to their needs.
Shalla Khan and his 17-member family including children and grandchildren not only benefitted from the project but also helped SHID identify the most vulnerable families who needed help most. SHID gave these families goats and cows, seeds and animal fodder as well as vaccination and de-worming medications for the livestock.
Today, the Khan family makes a steady income from selling milk to the local community.
"I'm now able to send my grandchildren to school," Shalla Khan said. "My sons are now earning enough to meet the daily needs of our family. My family and I are really happy."

Raymond James's Tavis McCourt today writes that Google's (GOOG) price cut on its Motorola unit's "Moto X" smartphone, announced yesterday, could be a test cast in the price elasticity of smartphones.
As chronicled by The Wall Street Journal's Rolfe Winkler, the Moto X, which was released late this past summer, was cut to $399 for those buying in with no cellular contract, down from a price of $550 previously.
Writes McCourt:
This compares to Samsung's [Electronics (005930KS)] Galaxy S4, which is $600 without a wireless contract and Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 5s, which is $650 without a contract. The Moto X is only sold in North and South America, and therefore price cuts will have a limited global impact, but given its high end specs, it could be an interesting test case as to the price elasticity of high end smartphones in the Android ecosystem. At Best Buy, Motorola is now offering its lower end Moto G, originally $179 without a contract, for $99 during a promotion, although it is hard to know how much of this price cut is financed by Google vs. Best Buy. This compares to $250 for a similarly spec'd Samsung device without a contract. We believe the lower end Moto G has already seen good demand outside the U.S. in countries where carrier subsidies are less meaningful. In general, we view Apple as sheltered from these pricing decisions as Apple customers rarely switch to Android-based phones, with Samsung likely having the most to lose if Google is successful in driving meaningful demand with price cuts.
None of this should matter much to the phone's chip supplier, Qualcomm (QCOM), he writes, although a "dramatic shift in smartphone demand below $250-300 wholesale pricing would start to have an impact on Qualcomm's license business, all else being equal."
"However, it is worth noting that the opposite has been true so far, with reported ASPs increasing in both developed and emerging economies for Qualcomm in 2013. "
