The application for Merit Badge AKA the "Blue Card, is a little piece of paper that will get even the most level-headed Scouts doing the dance of the blue card.
Just sit back and watch as a Scout realizes that he'll be 18 in a few months. The line dance for a visit with the Troop secretary is reminiscent of scene from Urban Cowboy.
I was recently asked about the process of the Blue Card and how we do it in our Troop. The reader has asked to remain nameless, but I am glad that this question came up. I can not tell you how times I have had conversations about such a simple thing, but something that is sometimes more confusing than a rubics cube.
Our reader asks; "Anyway would you share how your Troop handles Blue Cards, from the time the Scout asks to start a merit badge and is give the Blue Card through completion and where the Blue Card goes and who handles what."
So here it goes… I'll let you behind the curtain of how Troop 664 does the Blue card dance. There are actually two ways that we do this. I will explain the regular way that we do it and then how we do it for summer camp.
First. The Scout expresses interest in a merit badge… He picks the merit badge and goes to the Troop Secretary and asks for a blue card.
Then, the Scout fills out the Blue card. He fills out the whole front of the card leaving only my signature space blank. He fills out the back of the card with his name and the name of the merit badge he is going to work. He can leave the name of the counselor blank.
The Scout then brings me the blue card and I sign the front of the blue card. This allows the Scout to start working on the merit badge. It also gives me an opportunity to talk with the Scout about the badge and answer any questions that he may have. If I know who the counselor for that merit badge is, I give the Scout the information, if I don't I have the Scout return to the Troop secretary and she will look up the counselor and give the Scout the information, phone number etc.
The Scout then works the merit badge. The counselor fills out the card and confirms that the Scout met all of the requirements. Once the merit badge is complete, the counselor signs and dates it and gives it back to the Scout.
The Scout will then bring the completed blue card back to me. I then sign the card and have the Scout give the blue card to the Troop secretary. She records the completion date and merit badge into the Troop master software and takes the first part of the card and files it with the Troop records. The Scout gets the remainder of the card. Most counselors do not retain their copy.
The Applicants record is stapled to the merit badge certificate as is the actual merit badge. The Scout is presented the merit badge at the next court of honor.
That completes the Dance of the Blue card.
The only difference in this process for summer camp is this. I will pre sign a bunch of blue cards. I then hand them out on day 1 of summer camp. The Scout takes the blue card and fills it out and takes it to the first session of the merit badge class.
At the completion of summer camp, the blue cards are returned from the summer camp staff to the Scoutmasters. I sign all the completed merit badges and make a note of the partials.
During summer camp, I track the merit badges being worked daily. I keep a chart in my notebook of who is working what badge at what time. Then I follow-up daily at the "Scoutmaster cabin". The camps in our council all make daily progress reports available. If by Wednesday, it does not look like progress is being made, I have a little chat with the Scout. It is the Scouts decision to work the badges and I will not force or push the Scout to complete the badges at camp. I do "Highly encourage" them to get them finished, but at the end of the week.. it will be up to him.
When we get home, I turn over all of the blue cards to the Troop Secretary and she records and goes through the same process as stated above.
So there it is.. The Dance of the Blue Card… I sure hope that helps.
Leave your questions, comments, and suggestions here on the blog or feel free to drop me an email.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

The Summer Youth Musical Theater Workshop Presents "Titanic the Musical"
BINGHAMTON, NY – Students from Binghamton University's Summer Youth Musical Theater Workshop will perform the Tony award-winning Broadway hit "Titanic the Musical" at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 14, and Sunday, August 15, in Watters Theater, located in the Fine Arts Building on the Binghamton University campus.
The three-week workshop offered to theater students ages 12 – 18, is instructed by Director Elaine Tamaru, Musical Director Brenda Dawe, and Conductor Todd Robinson along with guest director James Everett Lortz. Sponsored by the Anderson Center for the Performing Arts, the Binghamton University Department of Music and the Binghamton University Department of Continuing Education and Outreach, the workshop has touched the lives of hundreds of youth in the Broome and Tioga Counties since its inception in 1998.
"Titanic the Musical" opened on Broadway in 1997 featuring music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and story and book by Peter Stone. Titanic is based on the true story of the great ship's maiden voyage from departure in Southampton, England, to the sinking in the Atlantic by an iceberg. The show features issues such as class, immigration and mankind's vulnerability in the face of disaster. The story follows actual passengers and crewmembers that were aboard the Titanic in 1912.
Tickets are $15 for the general public and $10 for students and are available from the Anderson Center Box Office from noon to 5:30 p.m. weekdays, by calling (607) 777-ARTS, online at http://anderson.binghamton.edu or at the door.

Of the three groups of people you mention the first two should not exist if enforcement was doing their job, the third should be legalized, regulated & taxed heavily.
Setting tax policy based on a concern of perceived injustice is not a good baseline to start from. I believe the Flat Tax to be the the tax that has the greatest potential to be an income generator for government without the built in flaws of the other systems.

The Recording Academy actively represents the music community on such issues as intellectual property rights, music piracy, archiving and preservation, and censorship concerns. In pursuing its commitment to addressing these and other issues, The Recording Academy undertakes a variety of national initiatives. ArtsWatch is a key part of an agenda aimed at raising public awareness of and support for the rights of artists.

On Sept. 23 the Federal Register published the Federal Communications Commission's final rules for "Preserving the Open Internet," also known as the FCC's Net neutrality rules. The reactions and responses have only just begun:
The FCC's rules reflect a compromise reached by Google and Verizon in August 2010 as well as approaches developed from 2004–2008 under Republican FCC Chairs Michael Powell and Kevin Martin. Although Net neutrality's battles can be simplified as Dems versus GOP, or telcos versus consumers, both the truth and the road ahead are more complex.
European Net neutrality advocates launched RespectMyNet.eu on Sept. 22, calling on consumers to document "blocking or throttling of their Internet access, and help name and shame operators' harmful practices." The two organizations leading the effort are the Netherlands' Bits of Freedom and France's La Quadrature du Net. European Commission rules regarding Net neutrality took effect in May and are generally mild; however, violations through the end of the year will be monitored, officially reported and evaluated to consider whether more restrictive rules are advisable. The new site is likely to provide additional data for this monitoring effort.
On Sept. 27 House Bipartisan Privacy Caucus Co-Chairs Reps. Joe Barton (R-Texas) and Ed Markey (D-Mass.) announced two letters sent to the Federal Trade Commission, respectively calling for investigations of stealthy supercookies and of Facebook cookies that enable tracking even when users are not logged in. Markey said, "Consumers, not corporations, should have the choice about if, how or when their personal information is used."
An interesting footnote to the entertainment-related announcements made by Facebook at its Sept. 22 F8 Developer Conference was mention of pending legislation H.R. 2471, which would change privacy law to allow ongoing, Internet-based consent for sharing lists of video rentals. Because an obscure U.S. law protects consumer video rental privacy by requiring title-by-title written consent, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings told conference attendees his service's integration with Facebook will be available in 44 countries, but not the United States.
On Sept. 23 PaidContent reported on the little-known activities of Digital Rights Corp., a company that has been making legal settlements with Internet-infringing consumers for the low rate of $10 per infringed musical work, with discounts for volume available on a case-by-case basis. The firm's COO Robert Steele said they do not plan to bring lawsuits, but view their activities as a way to disrupt the file-sharing lifestyle. Detailed information about the company's music clients or the sums it has collected so far were not disclosed.
The World Intellectual Property Organization inaugurated its new office in Geneva on Sept. 26. WIPO Director General Francis Gurry addressed the organization's future challenges, which include development of a copyright infrastructure to "enable global licensing and digital markets" as the world's cultural content migrates to the Internet. On Sept. 29 WIPO's General Assembly declared that efforts to negotiate an international treaty to protect performers' rights in audiovisual works have reached the final phase so that an international diplomatic conference will be convened in 2012.

Google Avoids Paying $1.6 Billion USD In Taxes, UK PM Speaks Out
Tiffany Kaiser

Sender E-mail
(Source: timebusinessblog.files.wordpress.com)
David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the UK, said that companies like Google are immorally minimizing tax bills
Google has managed to skip paying about $1.6 billion USD (£1 billion)
in taxes
by way of the island Bermuda -- and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom isn't happy.
Google sent £6 billion through Bermuda over the course of last year, which halved its 2011 tax bill. In fact, Google funneled 80 percent of its global revenue through the island and ended up paying about £1 billion less to the government.
Google's Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said this "is called capitalism."
"We pay lots of taxes; we pay them in the legally prescribed ways," said Schmidt. "I am very proud of the structure that we set up. We did it based on the incentives that the governments offered us to operate."
David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the UK, said that companies like Google are immorally minimizing tax bills and need to be stopped. He even wrote a letter to fellow leaders of the G8 requesting a global crackdown on tax avoidance for large companies such as Google and Starbucks.
"I do believe we all have a common interest in being able to tell our taxpayers who work hard and pay their fair share of taxes that we will make sure others do the same," wrote Cameron in an open letter to the G8.
Google's UK Head Matt Brittin said politicians are the ones who set tax rates, and that Google is playing by their rules.
Google funneled £2.6 billion of British revenue through Bermuda, which cut its UK tax bill by £200 million.
In April of last year, it was reported that
Apple made $9.5 billion USD
in Britain for 2011, but only paid 0.16 percent in taxes. Amazon was also targeted for its
headquarters in the tiny European Union nation of Luxembourg and Google's placement in
Ireland with subsidiaries in the Caribbean and Luxembourg for more tax dodging gains.
The New York Times
blamed Apple for dodging billions in taxes
in a lengthy article last year.

A helicopter searched for more than an hour for a boat with a man on board bleeding profusely after he fell through a window - only for the man to be found on his boat back in the bay.
In a bizarre search overnight, a man in a serious condition with a laceration to his arm managed to return to Pilot Bay at Mount Maunganui while the TrustPower Rescue Helicopter and Coastguard searched fruitlessly for an hour and a half.
The injured man used a mobile phone to contact emergency services about about 7.40pm.
That was the last time authorities heard from him as a full-scale search was launched.
The 36-year-old and another man on the boat were believed to be about 5km out from the harbour.
Their radio was not working and attempts to call them back resulted in emergency services being sent straight to voicemail.
Rescue helicopter pilot Todd Dunham said the search crew used night-vision goggles in an attempt to find the boat after reports that its lights weren't working or could not be switched on.
For the next hour and a half the helicopter and the Coastguard completed search patterns trying to find the boat with the injured man.
The boat was eventually found in Pilot Bay, where medics were able to attend to the injured man.
"We don't know whether the boat was there the whole time or whether it came in while we were searching," Mr Dunham said.
St John northern communications team manager Norman Ngatai said the injured man had a laceration to his arm and had suffered "serious blood-loss".
He was rushed to Tauranga Hospital in a serious condition about 10.30pm.

Now's the season for giving. Meanwhile business reports I've read say retail sales have been slow, Wal-Mart's growth's failed to meet forecasts, the economy may be recovering, but it's gaining momentum at a very unimpressive rate.
How does that affect us, Star Wars collectors who rabidly pursue toy manufacturer items for ourselves?
Well, most completists here know what they'll be shopping for, and pickers-n-choosers like myself will be doing are thing, some army-building or whatnot.
But will any of you be purchasing Star Wars items as gifts for other people?
I've been considering looking for sales and taking advantage of them to offer toys to San Diego's younger fire victims.
The KB Toys Value Packs might work real nicely for gifts like that, especially since those kids lost everything, so it's not like they'll get duplicates to complain about.
What do you guys think? Who's giving Star Wars this holiday?
And what would make good SW gifts?

I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
That's funny!
I worked at a paint and body shop in Carlsbad California briefly near the beach, A couple of the bodymen there worked in their shorts and would go surfing on lunch hour.
"Ohh, maxi big da fish! Well dat smells stinkowiff"
"No time to discuss this as a supercommittee.... I am not a supercommittee!"
We went to Quebec and stayed on a private lake over the last weekend, I just dumped a bunch of pics up and figured since we haven't been on an actual vacation of any kind in years I'd share them. I know they're not earthshattering but they're nice for the most part
North of the cabin is hundreds of miles of pretty much nothing, it was quiet, clean and all-round fun. Our party of 4 were the only people who spoke english for a LOONG ways (except for our buddies who live in the place, but even their kids spoke NO english at 11 years old)
Hope you like them
And please don't look if you don't want- people complaied about me wasting their time last I posted something featuring my family
Something about him reminds me of my older brother, Rex.
Beautiful country! What was the fish score?
For those who complained: [Those] little ones aren't worth the trouble. Come, let me get you something.........
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
haha yeah it's heartachingly beautiful up there to be sure
The fish whipped our butts- the first day we had major gear problems PLUS it was windy as all getout making the canoe go all over the friggin place, you'd paddle to one end of the lake and in 10 minutes be almost back where you started.. the second day was hampered by a lack of enthusiasm and a really full slate of stuff we HAD to check out locally. A very few nibbles were observed but nothing close to being able to say anyone actually hooked one, much less observed or landed one
They're DOOMED when we go back tho, as it was everyone thought everyone else was bringing gear so it turned out no-one did and we had to salvage some rods and stuff.
As for gettin me something- what they got on tap here ??

Coloured porcelain works by Jeanne Opgenhaffen. Belgium.
I'm obsessed with these sculptures by artist Jaime Pitarch that I came across on the Spencer Brownstone Gallery website. The Barcelona-based artist explores our relationship to household objects by making subtle and not-so-subtle alterations rendering them completely useless. He says the works have "to do with the human being's inability to identify with the structures he himself has created".
Have a look at more images below.
A selection of work by my friend Boldtron, currently creating magnificent stuff in Cinema 4D under the name Fantasaraxia. Also a shoutout to Arnau, who first shared these works over on Artnau (my favourite site for visual inspiration). If you ever visit Barcelona hit these guys up, I had the best time there with them!

Maybe I have a little too much of what might be termed "peripheral vision." As much as I enjoy the comics that carry the thrust of the "mainstream," I tend to follow whatever flows off the main stem to see where they may lead. I like the periphery, the left field, the off-beat, the eccentric. Show me an edge and I'll sail off it.

Junit and TestNG differ in the core design. Junit is a unit testing framework while TestNG addresses testing at a higher level. This article discusses the three main differences between TestNG and Junit.
1. In Junit, one test case failure can cause a bunch of test cases to fail in the test suite. There is no option of skipping the set of dependent test cases. The dependent test cases are also reported as failures. For example, suppose there is a test case to test login and the next 10 test cases need to perform a transaction after login. If the login test case fails the other 10 test cases will also fail.
TestNG handles dependency between test cases. If one test case failure causes the failure of a group of test cases it skips that group and executes the rest of the test suite. The group that has dependency on the failed test cases is reported as skipped NOT failed.
2. In TestNG groups can be defined. Groups are specific subsets of the test suite. We can choose to run only specific subset of the testsuite say database related test cases instead of running the entire test suite. This can be done as below:
In the test case we define two groups DBTestcase and deprecated as below:
@Test(groups = {"DBTestcase", "deprecated"}) public void testMethod2() { }
In TestNG.xml config file we write the below piece of code to include only database related test cases and exclude the deprecated ones.
<test name="Sample"> <groups> <run> <include name="DBTestcase" /> <exclude name="deprecated" /> </run> </groups> <classes> <class name="example1.Test1" /> </classes> </test>
In Junit for a long time it was not possible to run a specific subset of the test cases. We can either run the entire suite or run each test case individually. Junit 4.8 introduced a new feature called "Categories" to overcome this limitation. However groups are much easier to configure in TestNG.
3. TestNG supports parameterization for objects. For example I can execute a single test case for multiple test data sets through the parameterization of DataProvider object. This makes the implementation of data driven testing more flexible in TestNG as below:
@DataProvider(name = "DP1") public String[][] testData() throws Exception { String[][] sdataArray = {{"james","moosecat$", "email@example.com","selenigr","selenigr1$", "email@example.com"}}; return sdataArray; } @Test (dataProvider = "DP1") public void evernoteSharing(String user1, String password1, String email1, String user2, String password2, String email2) { }
In junit test data is not parameterized using a DataProvider hook. Data-driven testing is implemented differently and involves more coding.

Didn't go hunting today. But I did see Turbo at the barbershop!
Found a Lava Miner coin figure at DeSoto Target this morning. They also only had a bunch of R2s, Mace, and Obi coin figs plus some of the older rereleases. Nothing extraordinary.
TRU on Topanga had very little. A couple Luke Dagobah Xwings up high and an Endor ATAT. A bunch of Vader coin albums. No figures at all to speak of.
Found a Appo today at BurTar, but nothing else. Where the hell are all the V-wings? Something tells me that Crunchy has them all....... If I don't get a Fett soon I'm going to throw a fit!
[FONT=Tahoma]I was born at night, but not last night.[/FONT]You Shouldn't believe everything that you read.(Like my posts)
I like getting my hair cut at Supercuts. I only get a clipper ran all over my head these days, but it's worth going there to have the girls who work there thrust their cleavage into your face while they ask, "There: does that look good?"
I go every 10 days. In fact, if my hair would only grow faster, I'd repeat the experience even more frequently!
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Very cool picture CrunchyNug. I wished I could find those ships! I stand in admiration of your toys!
I won 2 black uniform Clone Pilots (Shadow Pilots, if you will) on eBay to use for my V-wings - whenever I can finally find them.
My Target just got a case of the vehicle assortment, but it was the one with Vader's Sith Starfighter and the Hailfire, AAT, etc. That will have to sell through before they order more. But they do move.
Anyway, I have 2 Firespeeder Pilots I was saving in case they ever made a Firespeeder vehicle (would that be cool?) but I like considering the idea you present here for a scene. I was just going to hang the V-wings from my ceiling, but that is very cool. Nice job CrunchyNug.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
I feel like I've been out of the loop for a while cuz my wife finally had our baby last week. It's a boy...and yes, we've already watched Star Wars. It's been an interesting transition to parenthood I tell you.

Barron's recently spoke with Heather Loomis, West head of fixed income at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, about how financial markets have seemingly settled down a bit lately. The calm follows extensive damage-control efforts from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke after the central bank spooked markets in May and June with some conflicting messages about winding down its bond-buying stimulus programs.
"The Fed and Bernanke understand that market movements in a rapid fashion can be destabilizing and I don't think that's his intent," Loomis says. adding that the Fed eventually succeeded in arresting a sharper rise in interest rates. "The market has focused at different point on different parts of the Fed's message, and Bernanke's been trying to balance that when markets get too focused on one aspect. Now we know whats coming, the Fed's made that clear, we've established a new trading range, the market is comfortable with that."
At least the whole process served as a valuable fire drill for investors.
"The key in financial markets is not allowing yourself to be too surprised," Loomis says. "After the sheer magnitude of inflows we saw into fixed income over the last few years, we knew the only time people were going to step back was the first time they felt the first loss. Those losses have still been far surpassed by longer-term aggregate gains."
The losses of the past couple of months came amid a sharp move higher in interest rates, even if that rise came off rates that were near their all-time low. "This was the first move in the beginning of a longer-term cycle," she says. "This is a reminder that staying in the long end of the interest rate curve is going to be volatile and potentially negative for an extended period of time."
Bond markets have rebounded in recent weeks, leading Loomis to say some of the best bond-market bargain-hunting probably already happened a couple of weeks ago. But one area where she still sees value is Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS, the much-maligned inflation hedge that's been a disaster for investors so far this year.
"Right now we're still looking at inflation breakevens that are quite low," Loomis says. "Thinking about where you can add protection when the market thinks protection is unnecessary is a good philosophy." She cautions that investors looking for TIPS exposure as an inflation hedge should stick to shorter-dated, lower-duration bonds.

Dir. Michael Bassett
After the suicide of one of their dorm-mates, a group of juvenile delinquents are sent to a remote island off the coast of Scotland for some character/team-building exercises. Once there, the wardens are viciously slaughtered by a mysterious assailant commanding a pack of fierce hunting dogs. The young offenders must work together to stay alive and find a way off the island before they too fall prey to the stealthy stalker.
A grim prologue unspools in the young offenders' centre where we are introduced to the eclectic bunch of mainly unsavoury sorts. The use of young offenders as main characters adds a dark and interesting element to the mix and the prologue expertly introduces us to the volatile, unhinged and aggressive young men.
Once the story moves to the island location, it navigates into very familiar Slasher movie territory, and utilises an abundance of that genre's conventions - right down to the use of a killer extracting revenge for a past misdeed, picking his victims off one by bloody one. The most interesting element of the story is the fact that these are not your average run of the mill teens pitted against a savage killer – this lot have already proved that they can be ruthless and violent and could potentially be more than a match for their tormentor. Perhaps this is supposed to reflect just how determined and bloodthirsty the killer is; if he can whittle down such a group of unruly delinquents?
The dynamics of the group are now brought to the fore and initially they all try to remain together to survive. The main problem here is who we are supposed to root for and identify with – if anyone? This motley crew serve as one of the strengths of the film – the various arcs that each character traverses – but the script settles for painting them with ever broader strokes at they each succumb to ever bloodier demises – both at the hands of the killer and each other.
As Calum, Toby Kebbell delivers an outstanding performance that transcends the often rudimentary material, conveying so much through facial expressions and body language. The rest of the uniformly strong cast deliver sturdy performances, especially Stephen Wright and Lenora Crichlow as Steve and Mandy.
And of course, to begin with anyway, we also have Sean Pertwee and Alex Reid . No strangers to the horror arena, and veritable veterans compared to the rest of the cast – Pertwee and Reid had roles in contemporary classics such as Dog Soldiers and The Descent respectively. It would seem no British horror film these days is quite complete without the presence of Pertwee.
Elements of Deliverance, Scum and Lord of the Flies pepper Wilderness. Notions such as vigilantism and delusions of justice also crop up sporadically, but the lacklustre script courtesy of Dario Poloni, fails to address them with any degree of depth and merely flirts with them. Wilderness sticks a little too rigidly to pre-conceived convention. Not that this is detrimental to the enjoyment of the film, but with such good actors portraying such multi-faceted and interesting characters - and such an initially interesting villain - it seems a shame to waste them amidst the abundance of clichés we are presented with. Having said that, the young deliquents are certainly afforded more substance than the average slasher cast.
The isolated and highly moody location – actually Tollymore Forest in Northern Ireland, is pilfered for all its worth and Bassett goes all out to showcase its potentially inhospitable and ever menacing climes.
Events become increasingly nasty – even when the group aren't attacked by the predator, they still have each other to contend with. An attempted rape and its repercussions lead to yet more bloodshed and splashy FX. Wilderness is extraordinarily gory – notably in the scenes where Pertwee is torn to shreds by attack dogs – and for the most part, the violence is realistic and dirty.
The first glimpse of the killer echoes the feral slayer in The Final Terror - another uneven though pretty engaging backwoods slasher – covered in foliage and blending into the forest with creepy ease. However once he and his motives are revealed, he is stripped of all menace and the once ominous and intriguing figure commandeering a pack of killer dogs is a distant memory.
Whilst Wilderness is certainly edgy and entertaining, its reliance on tried and tested horror clichés lets it down somewhat and what we are left with is a merely average and moderately engaging thriller.
Why not head over to Eat My Brains and read the interview I carried out with the director, Michael Bassett.

The Phoenix has been reviewing Alien movies for longer than any of us can remember. So we shaved an intern's head, armed her with a flamethrower, and sent her into our gooey archives vault; she didn't make it back, but we recovered these scraps from old Phoenix reviews near a slime trail leading away from a femur bone.
ALIEN | "Be forewarned: sleep won't come easily the night you see Alien. There hasn't been a movie this scary since Jaws, and nothing else in the science-fiction genre can touch it; it turns your muscles into cole slaw. It's also kind of dumb." | Stephen Schiff, May 29, 1979 | Read the rest | Three chestbursters
ALIENS | "Warrant Officer Ripley and a team of Marines hitch up their flame throwers and grenade launchers to take on an entire army of oozing, teeth-baring creepy-crawlies. James Cameron understands what the makers of the Friday the 13th potboilers have long forgotten — that true horror buffs want a sense of revelation mixed into the brew. Between the shocks and the thrills, the showdown between human good and supernatural evil, we want to taste a little awe." | Owen Gleiberman, July 22, 1986 | Read the rest | Three and a half chestbursters
>> READ: "A genetic analysis of the Alien franchise" by Peter Keough <<
ALIEN3 | "As suggested by the title, Alien3 has taken the premise of its predecessors and made a formula of it. 'Now what do we do?' is a recurring line of dialogue in the movie, and it probably echoes the filmmakers' own refrain as they tried to come up with ways to make the audience jump. Which isn't too often. . . . After all the dreary fuss and bother, Alien3 confronts the true horror — the purpose and meaning of human life — and finds it alien, all too alien." | Peter Keough, May 22, 1992 | Read the rest | Two chestbursters
ALIEN RESURRECTION | "Through the miracle of cloning — both the pseudo-scientific and the Hollywood high-concept kind — Ripley and the big ugly bugs are back. Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, half the directing team behind the saucy, surrealist Delicatessen and City of Lost Children, Alien Resurrection is not so much a rebirth as a reconfiguration." | Peter Keough, November 26, 1997 | Read the rest | | Three chestbursters
ALIEN VS. PREDATOR | "Predators have long used Earth as an arena to stage their rite of passage, which is battling Aliens who've spawned in human hosts. Throughout human history, it seems, Predators have posed as gods and have even provided mankind with the cornerstones of civilization. So it's been a trade-off. None of that matters now, though, as an intergalactic smackdown gets underway in a shape-shifting pyramid some 2000 feet below a polar ice cap. The ghoul-on-ghoul special effects do make their mark, but otherwise, in this contest, everyone's a loser." | Tom Meek, August 20, 2004 | Read the rest | One and a half chestbursters
ALIEN VS. PREDATOR: REQUIEM | "Paul W.S. Anderson nearly killed both franchises with his first limp stab at pitting the parasitic 'xenomorphs' of the once-great Alien series against a dreadlocked, vagina-dentata-mouthed refugee from the once-good Predator films. Now along comes this continuation from special-effects veterans Colin and Greg Strause to put them out of their misery." | Brett Michel, December 31, 2007 | Read the rest | One half chestbursters

doctoral dissertation, tech. report CMU-RI-TR-07-37, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, October, 2007
|Robots would be much more useful if they could move obstacles out of the way. Traditional motion planning searches for collision free paths from a start to a goal. However, real world search and rescue, construction, home and nursing home domains contain debris, materials clutter, doors and ob jects that need to be moved by the robot. Theoretically, one can represent all possible interactions between the robot and movable ob jects as a huge search. We present methods that simplify the problem and make Navigation Among Movable Obstacles (NAMO) a practical challenge that can be addressed with current computers.
This thesis gives a full development cycle from motion planning to implementation on a humanoid robot. First, we devise a state space decomposition strategy that reasons about free space connectivity to select ob jects and identify helpful displacements. Second, we present controls for balance and manipulation that allow the robot to move ob jects with previously unknown dynamics. Finally, we combine these results in a complete system that recognizes environment ob jects and executes Navigation Among Movable Obstacles.
Our continued work in NAMO planning has focused on three topics: reasoning about ob ject interaction, three dimensional manipulation and interaction with constrained ob- jects. This thesis presents the computational and theoretical challenges that arise from these elaborations of the NAMO domain. In each case we introduce extensions to our algorithms that respond to the challenge and evaluate their performance in simulation. All the methods presented in this thesis not only solve previously unsolved problems but also operate efficiently, giving real-time results that can be used during online operation.

Chewbacca (or "Chewie", as he was known by his friends) was a legendary Wookiee from Kashyyyk and co-pilot of Han Solo's ship, the Millennium Falcon. He was the son of Attichitcuk, the husband of Mallatobuck, and the father of Lumpawaroo. (Source Wookieepedia)
1. Complete hair suit using natural or synthetic fibers. Most of the hair should be a medium-brown color. The outsides of the knees, the shoulders, the upper back, and the back of the head should be a dark brown, gray, or a mix. Hair should average at least 6 inches or longer, but 8-10 inch long hair is preferred. Complete coverage is required; no bald spots or exposed skin/undersuit.
2. Faux fur is not allowed unless hair extensions have been added. No yarn or shag carpet Wookiees. The hair must maintain a consistent quality/type throughout the suit.
3. Dark brown leather or faux leather bandolier, approximately 3 inches wide with a narrow center strap, with 8 or 9 large metallic boxes and 8 or 9 small metallic boxes spaced evenly along the bandolier with the narrow center strap going over the boxes. The boxes should have edge detailing. The ends of the bandolier should be tapered and attach to a medium-sized leather or suede pouch with a large flap cover. The bandolier should hang from the left shoulder across the torso with the pouch resting on the right thigh. No leather concho should be present as it is on some of the original trilogy bandoliers.
4. Dark brown, gray, or black gloves should be worn. There should be enough overlap between the gloves and the wrists of the hair suit that no skin is exposed. Gloves may be made of leather, vinyl, cloth, or rubber.
5. When worn, the feet must be completely covered with hair except for the bottom and the toes. The toes and toenails/claws must be visible.
6. The mask must completely cover the head and neck, without completely obscuring the shape of the shoulders. The eyes, a smooth black nose, and a large jaw/muzzle should all be clearly visible. A slight mustache like feature should be present as well. The mouth should have a slight frown when closed. The mask hair should be smooth and well groomed, not bushy, so that the mask's shape and structure are clear.
7. Static masks should not be frozen in a fully opened position. All static mouths should be closed.
8. Although a functioning jaw and/or lip snarl is not required, the skin and lips of any mechanical masks should appear as one piece, rather than a separated jaw and and face. This refers only to the mask's outward appearance, not the underskull. Costumers should be aware that mechanical jaws and lips are complex projects requiring purpose-built components using special materials. They cannot simply be added to an existing latex rubber mask. Consult the costuming resources and fellow Wookiee costumers for advice on this project.
For formal status, you must be at least 7 feet tall while in costume. Lifts, stilts, and other height-enhancing footwear can achieve this.

Overeem Destroys in 19 Seconds
- Written by Dave Walsh
You knew it was a hard road for Todd Duffee. Facing the rampaging Alistair Overeem, on short notice, under MMA rules where The Reem can use his killer knee? That's a tall order, and unfortunately for the ex- UFC fighter, he wasn't up to it.
In just 19 seconds, Overeem landed a series of blows, including that murderous knee, to knock Duffee down and out. Duffee's chin has been a question mark since his UFC loss to Mike Russow, but those blows would have put almost anyone away. Such is the power of the K-1 champion.
With that win, Overeem claims the Interim Dream Heavyweight title, making him the current Dream, Strikeforce, and K-1 champion. I know he has his detractors, but that's an impressive accomplishment.

Baracks Five Lies About ObamaCare
by Jason Mattera
Did you hear that Lindsay Lohan is leading an upcoming Christian youth retreat? Well, if the Obama administration is out arguing that Congress pumping trillions of dollars into a government takeover of healthcare will reduce an astronomical deficit itself caused by profligate spending, I guess anything is believable, eh?
But thats exactly what the White House is doing, claiming that medical Armageddon would ensue if a full repeal occurred. Moreover, Obama himself dismisses the House vote to repeal ObamaCare as a symbolic gesture at this point, and nothing more. What we cant do is engage in the kinds of symbolic battles that so often consume Washington while the rest of America waits for us to solve problems, he said.
The House repeal of ObamaCare should not be viewed as mere symbolism. Instead, it continues the process of reminding the public that ObamaCare violates every premise it was conceived on: lower costs, lower premiums, a reduced deficit, efficient medical care, and a jobs boom.
ObamaCare was built on a pack of lies.
And now the GOP must take the opportunity to expose those lies and build momentum for the 2012 election, after which a full repeal can occur if Republicans do take back the White House and the Senate.
Republicans should build their case on five straight forward points: The government takeover of healthcare explodes the deficit even further, delivers skyrocketing premiums, increases overall healthcare costs, suffocates job growth and micromanages the entire healthcare market because well, because you must bow before the government and ask no questions, peasant.
1. The Budget Buster
White House officials brag that the multi-trillion-dollar health-care bill reduces deficit and, as a result, they argue that any repeal that goes into effect will increase deficit spending. But once fully implemented, ObamaCare will have the nation swimming in even more debt than we already are. When taxes and spending meet on the actual first 10 years of ObamaCare (2014-2023), the projected cost is $2.6 trillion, far above what the Democratic Congress promised. But theres more. Also tack on an extra $200 billion for the Medicare doc fix portions and another $115 billion in discretionary spending needed to help execute the law. No wonder the Congressional Budget Office called the Democrats gimmickry in scoring ObamaCare difficult to sustain for a long period.
ObamaCare, from the get-go, was a budget buster.
2. Lower Thy Premium
Barack Obama promised to lower premiums by $2,500 a year for the average family. But now, in the real world, the cost of individual insurance will rise by $2,100 per year, says an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office. $2,100! For the math whizzes at Obamas side, thats a gap of $4,600 per year, per family. Repeal ObamaCare, save $2,100 a year. Sounds like a good message to us.
3. Cost Control Fantasy
Hey, remember when Obama said: If any bill arrives from Congress that is not controlling costs, thats not a bill I can support. Its going to have to control costs. Well guess what? Costs are a-soaring! But dont take my word for it. The chief Medicare actuary, Richard Foster, stipulated in an April 2010 report that ObamaCare will increase health expenditures by a total of $311 billion over the next 10 years. Lovely.
4. Jobs Killer
House Republicans call their effort: Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act. And thats spot-on. While the left is out chest-thumping that the Republicans should address the economy and not health care (the New York Times even called the House repeal effort a ritual of self-glorification), the likelihood of economic growth and ObamaCare are inexorably tied together. As one GOP aide put it, repeal means that taxpayers will not face $569 billion in tax increases scheduled to take effect over the coming yearsjob-killing taxes that will harm an economy struggling to grow.
These taxes hit individuals who choose not to purchase a government-approved insurance policy and employersyou know, job providerswho dont provide workers with a government-approved insurance policy. And thats just the tip of the iceberg. Other taxes dispensed from the font of ObamaCare included a 40% levy on high-cost insurance policies and new rules that ban Flexible Spending Accounts from being used to purchase over-the-counter drugs.
The question remains: How is ObamaCare not linked to economic growth? Only in the bizarre mind of a leftist does diminishing an individuals purchasing power and making it more expensive to hire employees not impact economic trajectory.
5. Big Government Galore
Barack Obama likes to cloak his admiration for more government by making bureaucracy seem benign. The question we ask today is not whether government is too big or too small, but whether it works. Remember that line? Barack said it on Inauguration Day. Funny thing is, the size of government and its efficacy are blood brothers. And Americans know it, which is why they protested at town hall meetings across the country before the healthcare overhaul was made law. But the objections of the people were drowned out by the Democrats government-knows-best elitism. So with ObamaCare comes 159 new programs, bureaucracies and boards for Americans to look forward to.
The Bottom line is simple: The GOP must do all in its power to weaken and defang Obamacare until a full overhaul is achieved. Remember the Gippers sage warning: The closest thing well ever see to eternal life here on earth is a government agency. And Obamacare gave us a whole new fleet of bureaucracies to worry about.

Eat More Vegetables Challenge Day 4: Retrain Your Taste Buds to Love Vegetables
By Gretel H. Schueller, July 15, 2014 - 3:14pm
Whether you just never developed a taste for a certain vegetable—or as a child you were forced to eat bland, mushy peas or a mountain of overcooked Brussels sprouts (memories you're still holding onto)—there's still hope for you to learn to love new vegetables.
It may not be the taste of Brussels sprouts, cauliflower or broccoli you hate, but the smell. Cooking cruciferous vegetables releases sulfurous compounds (the same compounds that deliver cancer-fighting benefits). Try steaming them or roasting them, which releases the smelliest compounds, and then eat them in a room away from the kitchen. Looking for other ways to transform your taste buds? Try these other tips: Retrain Your Cravings: 5 Ways to Learn to Love Healthier Foods

I had a nice litter on Thanksgiving evening. 6 girls, 1 boy. Line bred on AFC Ready.
Sire (Thunder) is my hunting dog out of a HRCH Cosmo girl, and Ready and the dam (Charger) is out of a MH from Nandool Elwood Blues, and Ready. Thunder has hunted with me in Canada , NoDak and Illinois,. He is 2 for 2 in Sr. and should be MH this year. Charger was a hunting dog on a controlled shooting preserve till she was 3.
I picked Blue from the start. She was the first to do everything and is also the biggest of all the pups. Blue is what we called her just because she ended up with the blue collar. Gronk was the only male. I am a closet Patriots fan down here in the south and I am looking for a clutch performer, so Gronk. Just hope he does not have the injury problems of his name sake.
Blue with a canvas bumper after feeding time this AM
Another around the decoys.
Here is Gronk doing his thing.
Only bad thing about winter pups is the fact I cant get them in the water. Usually I have mine swimming by 5-6 weeks old, but too cold now.

In 2008, an international team of researchers was camping in the Foja Mountains of Indonesia when they spied a visitor. A tiny frog had hopped into the campsite. It had a trunk-like nose that inflated and pointed upward when it called out. When the frog grew quiet, its nose deflated and drooped downward.
"We were sitting around eating lunch," recalled Chris Milensky, a scientist with the Smithsonian. That's when another researcher in the group, Paul Oliver, "looked down and there's this little frog on a rice sack, and he managed to grab the thing," Milensky said.
The campsite crasher, nicknamed Pinocchio by the scientists, turned out to be a previously unknown species of long-nosed tree frog. And it wasn't the only new critter the team discovered on the expedition. On May 16, the researchers announced the results of their 2008 survey. Among the new species on the list: a tiny wallaby, a bent-toed gecko, a giant woolly rat, and more.
The Lost World
The Foja Mountains are located on the western part of the Indonesian island of New Guinea. Not many scientists have explored the region's remote tropical rainforest. Researchers from the environmental group Conservation International led the 2008 expedition. The outing was part of Conservation International's Rapid Assessment Program, which sends scientists to specific sites to conduct a census of the wildlife. This helps in giving lawmakers the information they need to protect the land.
Smithsonian scientist Milensky says the four-week trek was far from easy. The team covered an area that ranged from the foot of the Foja Mountains to peaks that rise 7,200 feet high. They faced heavy rainstorms daily and regular flooding that threatened to wash away the camp. It was extremely wet," Milensky remembers. "The camp just turned into a complete mud bog." But the team kept going.
Good News for Animals
Kristofer M. Helgen oversees the mammal exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. He says one of the most amazing animals the team observed was the extremely rare golden-mantled tree kangaroo. Different from its cousin in Australia, this kangaroo has adapted to forest life. "It can jump into a tree and scurry right up it," Helgen said. "But on the ground it hops around like any kangaroo."
The group also discovered a dwarf wallaby that they believe could be the smallest known member of the kangaroo family. Other interesting finds included a pair of imperial pigeons with white, gray and rust-colored feathers, and a black-and-white butterfly.
"The discovery of these absolutely incredible forms of life is much needed positive news," said Bruce Beehler, who took part in the Foja expedition. "Places like these represent a healthy future for all of us and show that it is not too late to stop the current species extinction crisis."

My Target's shown no signs of TAC wave 2. I didn't go Thursday, however.
Today they had stocked:
New Unleashed packs with Tuskens, Greedo/Garindan, Jawas/R5 etc. That stuff looks good actually, but I don't want to collect it.
BattlePacks: Geonosis and Dagobah X2
Vehicles - new (old) case:
Vader's Sith Starfighter
Hailfire x 2
AAT Tank
White TIE Fighter x 2
Figures (all Saga):
AT-AT Driver
Yoda x 2
Jango Fett
C-3PO w. Battle Droid head option
R2D2 Hoth
Darth Vader Bespin
Luke Endor
Endor Rebel (white)
Obi-Wan (TPM)
Obi-Wan (E3 GB I think)
Anakin x 2 (E3 GB also I think)
General Grievous
Maybe I'm missing someone from my list, but it wasn't any TAC or anyone new.
I have to give them credit for this: if newbies enter the isle, they would have much of what they need. I am starting to see guys (approximately 30 years old) show up who I've never seen before. A guy quickly ducked out of the Star Wars toys when I arrived late today (8:05 am). They didn't have anything I missed though. That much I could tell.
But I don't know if he was a newbie or an alternate-area-shopper (like a guy away from his home-store). I didn't figure him for a scalper though. He didn't look like a scalper*
*How a person can look like a scalper (before they have toys in hand):
- they've worn the same clothes all week.
- they are unkempt, like they don't need to take care of themselves because all they do is stalk retail toy isles.
- they look like they live between retail store openings and swap meet hours without much sleep
- they carry themselves anti-socially such that they aren't enthusiastic about the stuff so much as they don't see their lives getting any better so they can do anything else.
- An "eBay fat cat" might not fit this stereotype. They're pretty dangerous, too. As they've been successful doing this somehow. They might be proprietorship store owners, but usually the ones smart enough to not have Hasbro direct accounts.

Generate your own ready-to-use Cisco 871W configuration with this handy tool
The Cisco 871W wireless router is limited in certain ways, but it offers many lessons that apply to a wide range of Cisco devices. We're launching a series of tutorials focusing on this router to help expand your knowledge of Cisco equipment.
Along with the first tutorial, "Configuring the Cisco 871W wireless router: SOHO setup," we're providing this template to make it easy to document and create CLI configuration files. To use it, you just plug in the appropriate values for a list of variables and click a button to produce the configuration output. You can then copy and paste the output to your console.
In addition to helping with initial setup, the worksheet serves as permanent documentation. Anyone with any knowledge of Cisco devices should be able to look at the output and understand what's going on, and the spreadsheet format makes the Cisco CLI more readable and understandable.
Join the discussion of the tutorial and download and share your suggestions and opinions.
