February 23-27 is Fair Use Week! Fair use is a concept embedded in U.S. law that allows certain uses of copyright-protected material without the permission from the copyright holder. Fair Use Week is an effort by universities and library organizations to celebrate this important doctrine and to inform and empower students and faculty. There is a handy infographic that provides an overview of fair use concepts and your rights.
There are no hard and fast rules for what constitutes fair use, but in determining whether a particular situation is fair use or infringement, courts use four factors which can be remembered by the acronym PANE.
Copyright law and fair use claims result in lawsuits and cases, some of which become famous, that inform and guide our use of copyright material. The library maintains a guide on copyright and fair use. If you have questions or want more information, please contact Paul Orkiszewski at firstname.lastname@example.com or 828 262 6588.
The ebook experience can be pretty painful. So here's a suggestion that works for our 2 largest ebook sources, ProQuest ebrary and EBSCOhost. Use them by the chapter. It's fairly easy to open a chapter and download it as a pdf, just as you would a journal article.
One word of caution. For my example, I downloaded the exact same chapter 7 from the same book, once in ProQuest ebrary and once in EBSCOhost. ProQuest ebrary tried to download the entire Part 2 containing several chapters. I had to look up and enter the page numbers instead. But the newly redesigned interface was so responsive, that only took a few extra seconds.
We hope that library ebooks improve over the next few years. For now, we are leasing thousands of ebooks, but we also continue to buy thousands of traditional physical books.

doctoral dissertation, tech. report CMU-RI-TR-98-10, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, May, 1998
|Teleoperation using cameras and monitors fails to achieve the rich and natural perceptions available during direct hands-on operation. Optimally. a reniote telepresence reproduces visual sensations that enable equivalent understanding and interaction as direct operation. Through irnrnersive video acquisition and display. the situational awareness of a remote operator is brought closer lo that of direct operation. Early teleoperation research considered the value of wide tields of view. However. utilization of wide fields of view meant sacrificing resolution and presenting distorted imagery to the viewer. With recent advances in technology. these problems are no longer barriers to hyper-wide field of view video.
Acquisition and display of video conveying the entire surroundings of a tclcoperated mobile robot requires innolwtion of hardware and software. The raw image from a panospheric camera is unfamiliar for direct viewing by a human operator. Through software transformation. an image is created that is visually identical lo images produced by traditional field of view cameras. The image stream can be formatted to mesh with any display. and is displayed on both a flat-screen monitor and a domed iinmersive theatre.
This research explores the value of panospheric video to telexplorers who navigate remote mobile robots through unknown terrain. A substantial component of the research is the design and development and evaluation of a panospheric sensor and methods of displaying the video to the telexplorer, Different modes of presenting the video to operators of a remote robot are evaluated based on thc success and tcchniqucs of the operator while attempting to react to untraversable terrain.
Utilization of panospheric video for robotic telexploration is an appropriate solution, even though current technologies fall short of achieving the characteristics of human vision. In its initial deployment, panospheric technology shows significant value over traditional methods of image acquisition. Utilizing panospheric video. over 100 novice and experienced operators combined to accomplish unprecedented teleoperation production.

one and 1/2 days of packing left - we're in decent shape, but it's been sheer hell. common advice is to start packing up your house at least 1 month before a move - we have been doing this for just three days. the movers come early monday morning. then it's clean a bit, deal with some last-minute logistical peculiarities, and then tuesday it's off to santa barbara! then, we'll have 3 days or so with just the suitcases we bring with us, and then it'll be unpacking hell!
cox cable in sb doesn't give out static ip addresses, and while the cable modems tend to get the same ips over long periods of time, cox just started blocking http/ftp/etc ports - so, no point in it. verizon wants $70/month for a basic acct w/static ip - just too much. but, 101freeway.com resells verizon's dsl cheaper - i get a static ip and decent downstream speeds for $55/month. still, that means more than $100/month for cable and net access (combined cost) - bugger.

For a change, today I won't describe how I did something but how I did not.
I had I mind to use tumblr with a daily automated post of a picture. I devised it would be nice if a daily cronjob on my local server was updating a git directory and then post the first image in the queue.
First, I found out that tumblr refuses to handle mail sent directly by mutt and the local server smtp. So I then tried having mutt sending the mail using gmail authenticated smtp. I did not work either. But it works fine to any other recipient. And it works if directly sent with gmail web interface. We've made it incredibly easy to post from your desktop or mobile phone. Just send an email to the custom email address for the blog you'd like to publish to they claimed. Go figure, that probably something they implied by the confusing sentence Send posts directly to your mobile posting email address. You cannot email another email address and then forward the email from there. I understand spam is an issue they have to care about, but how comes that even gmail authentication isn't proof enough of goodwill?
Anyway I end up with a non working script for the simple task of sending a mail.

A traumatic event is an experience that causes physical, emotional, psychological distress, or harm. It is an event that is perceived and experienced as a threat to one's safety or to the stability of one's world.
A traumatic event may involve:
At the time of a traumatic event, the person experiencing the event might feel numb and, therefore, not know how to respond. Later on, memories of the trauma can bring out feelings of helplessness, fear, even horror -- like you are reliving the trauma all over again. To try to resolve such feelings and move forward after a trauma, it is helpful to discuss the events and feelings, especially with a child.
After a traumatic event, the person experiencing it needs time, support, and a sense of safety to re-establish trust. Experiences that have traumatized a person will usually cause
Many events are experienced by children as traumatic. In fact, many adults do not realize that seemingly harmless events may be very traumatic for a child. For example, a child with a broken arm may assume that his arm cannot be fixed, yet adults may have no way of knowing that the child is even imagining such a thing.
Parents can reduce the negative emotional responses to potentially traumatic events by preparing the child. Discussions, visits, pictures, videos, and play are activities that can introduce the upcoming experience to the child. Health care professionals are a good source of information regarding events that may be traumatic for the child, such as receiving injections (shots), or other experiences that are new, painful, or frightening.
Children may need the opportunity to talk about traumatic experiences and related emotions with their parents. They should be encouraged to do so, if they wish. Children who have witnessed traumatic events may misbehave, cry, or appear sad. If the child shows persistent behavior changes, the family should consult a mental health specialist.

Christians on the right and the left generally approach poverty from different perspectives, but challenging economic times are generating efforts at collaboration.
A coalition of leaders from across the political spectrum, including Chuck Donovan of the conservative Family Research Council, as well as Jim Wallis of the left-leaning Christian ministry Sojourners, recently announced the formation of a new Poverty Forum. The forum is the latest in a series of efforts to throw moral weight behind initiatives to address poverty and social justice.
In a statement to the National Press Association last week the forum laid out plans to push beyond traditional ideologies that have divided conservatives and liberals in their respective approaches.
Those approaches center largely on whether efforts to combat poverty should be left up to individual philanthropy or systematic government programs, as well as whether spiritual poverty is related to financial poverty.
According to Darby Ray, professor of religious studies at Millsaps College in Jackson, the right approaches poverty from the broad platform of "family values." Promoting healthy marriages and building strong domestic units figures largely in the effort to overcome what's often been called the culture of poverty.
Tim Wildmon, president of the American Family Association, said most Americans agree that family values are the best way to keep homes together. "Children need a mother and a father, sex should be between married people, moral values such as we get from the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount are universal," said Wildmon.
Translated into the theological spectrum, the right's approach means standing against far-reaching government programs for addressing poverty, advocating instead for individual generosity as the best means for helping the poor.
"The dilemma has been between how much to give people as charity and how much to expect them to do for themselves," said Wildmon.
This approach, Ray said, reflects a kind of "spiritualization" of poverty. "There's a lot of concern with the poverty of the soul," said Ray. "In a sense, the real poor are those without Jesus in their hearts."
Ray said some conservatives interpret Jesus' words in Matt. 26:11 literally, "The poor you will always have with you; you will not always have me." Therefore, the urgency to save souls outstrips the urgency to promote economic equality.
But not all Christians share the literal biblical perspective of the Christian right, and many contend that the concept of family values is increasingly hard to define. According to Bishop Clarence Parks of Temple of Compassion and Deliverance in Tupelo, particularly within the African-American community, the idea of a "normal" family varies.
"Sometimes, because of the culture or the situation that people are brought up in, their idea of family is very different from what others would see as normal," said Parks, adding that efforts to combat poverty shouldn't start with ideological presuppositions but with practical application.
"We have to deal with issues as they are in the world," he said.
Ray said the left has been more concerned with poverty per se but has done a poor job of articulating a coherent theological rationale for addressing it. She said that as the Social Gospel gained prominence among Christians on the left, with its humanistic emphasis, Christians on the right saw the movement both as irreligious and as "big government."
"The left's approach has been seen almost as a secular agenda," said Ray.
Among other initiatives the Poverty Forum will promote conservative priorities like extending the child-care tax credit to stay-at-home mothers and liberal goals such as raising the minimum wage. The forum will also call for stronger efforts to promote marriage, more subsidies for AIDS medication, and more federal spending to help teens and ex-convicts find work. Wildmon said that, at least in theory, he could get behind most of the agenda.
"Who wouldn't want to raise minimum wage?" asked Wildmon. "AIDS research gets a disproportionately large sum of funding compared to diseases that actually kill more people like heart disease and cancer. Still, these all seem like good points."
Urgent need
The U.S. Census reports that one in eight Americans, more than 37 million, live below the poverty line. For a family of four that's just over $22,000.
In Mississippi one in five people is officially poor. Add to that the fact that in 2008, 53.7 percent of babies in Mississippi were born to unwed mothers – as opposed to 40 percent, nationally – and statistics don't bode well for one of the poorest states. Nationwide, according to The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, as many as 10 million more people could slip below the poverty line before the recession ends.
The urgency of the situation is causing many Christians to seriously evaluate their differences.
The Rev. Paul Stephens, rector of All Saints' Episcopal Church said it's "unfathomable" how conservatives and liberals have so long allowed their differences to divide them.
"We all agree that what we're doing should be driven by the gospel," said Stephens. "Very simply, we're guided by Jesus' love. We see people in need and we're called to help them."
Ray of Millsaps said the real breakthrough the Poverty Forum promises is just getting the left and right to agree that poverty is a moral issue. She considers Wallis at Sojourners' a catalyst in bringing together committed conservatives and liberals to fight poverty. "He's helped redefine the Christian issues of our time," she said.
Stephens said he's seen practical examples of people from the right and the left putting aside their differences in time of urgent need. Before coming to Tupelo he worked extensively with Camp Coast Care, a joint effort of the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America cleaning and rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina.
Stephens said in addition to Episcopalians and Lutherans there were many people of more conservative ilk pitching in to help. In tough times, Stephens said, ideological tags like conservative and liberal don't mean much.
"In the Episcopal Church, what we pray is what we believe, that Christians should be willing to open our hearts and to work together," said Stephens. As for the potential of the Poverty Forum to bring together conservatives and liberals over the issue of poverty, Stephens said, "We pray we'll be empowered to do what the gospel challenges us to do."

Worries about the health of democracy today are hardly overblown. In some ways democracy in 2013 had its worst year in at least a decade, and this trend has continued into early 2014, as democracy wobbles in Bangladesh, Thailand, Ukraine, Turkey and many other countries. Many wealthy and established democracies, including America, suffered profound governance breakdowns and rising levels of partisanship, and faced growing numbers of people who seem to have lost faith in the democratic process entirely. Indeed, the growing popularity of insurgent, far-right parties in Europe stems partly from voter anger at the failure of democratic institutions, and established parties on the left and the right, to address core political questions.
In America, voter alienation has led to the Tea Party, the equivalent of Britain's UKIP or France's National Front. In other rich countries, this alienation from the democratic process has led to more diffuse protest movements. From Israelis camping in the streets of Tel Aviv in the biggest demonstrations in Israel's history to protest their leaders' lack of interest in basic economic issues, to the Occupy movement across America and countries of western Europe, people in established democracies are increasingly turning to street protests to make their points, since they believe they cannot be heard at the ballot box. They have become convinced, they say, that the democratic process has become so corrupted, so dominated by entrenched interests and so disassociated from popular issues that they can change their countries only through massive rallies, even if those protests bring down fairly elected leaders.

Suspend your disbelief and catch "Cowboys & Aliens." One need not be a devout fan of either genre to be entertained by this witty sci-fi Western. And it doesn't hurt one bit that Director Jon Favreau nabbed the dreamy Daniel Craig (aka Agent 007) in the lead role.
Craig plays Jake Lonergan who has a Jason Bourne thing going for him when he wakes up in the desert with amnesia. There's also a strange metal cuff on his wrist. When he wanders into the town of Absolution, Jake's identity is revealed to him on a wanted poster. Like Bourne, he discovers he has an incredible ability to kick butt.
The town bully (Paul Dano) gets a dose of Jake's pugilistic prowess, which immensely ires Daddy (Harrison Ford). All this ado is put on hold when aliens attack Absolution and abscond with some of the townsfolk. Inadvertently, Jake uses the wrist device to annihilate one of the spacecrafts. An unlikely alliance between desperados, cowboys and Indians is forged to combat the aliens, with Jake leading the posse.
Throw in the beautiful gal (Olivia Wilde), a kid (Noah Ringer) and a dog, and you've got your classic Western. Wherein lies the rub is that the good guys are a lot of bad guys doing what they do best. When we come to find out that the aliens are just a bunch of greedy, gold-grubbing, materialistic thugs, it's almost a reflection upon human nature.
Favreau ("Iron Man") has constructed a Western, aliens aside, on a par with "3:10 to Yuma" (2007). It's spectacularly shot and sports a soaring adrenaline-pumping score. The casting could not have been any better. Ford gives his best multi-layered performance since "What Lies Beneath." But it's cucumber-cool Craig who steals the show. He looks just as hot in dusty chaps as he does in an Armani tux. And he can rifle-toss with the best of them.
In the end, as Jake rides off into the khaki-colored New Mexico sky, there's a "Shane" moment. He embodies the alluring appeal of the redemptive bad guy. You wish he'd stay.

Al and his team have always been great to deal with, friendly and fast. I had to make a claim once and American Family Insurance helped me through the entire process. I was out of town and felt stranded at first. Their service was exceptional and they sent an agent to help me where I was. They turned a bad experience into an endorsement for the quality of service they provide.

I cut out dozens of new recipes a month, stashing most away in my kitchen to hopefully get around to making. Still, we all have our culinary priorities. For me, it's anything that mixes peanut butter and chocolate. That gets moved directly to the top of the pile. PB & Chocolate lovers are like a cult, aren't we?
So I found a recipe for Peanut Butter Brownie Cookies on a Pillsbury ad and immediately made them (after distributing the recipe around to fellow PB & Chocolate fans). I ran out of time, so I didn't add the chocolate frosting at the top, but they were delicious and got rave reviews all around (zap them in the microwave if you're feeling really indulgent)… They're super easy and no-fuss, so they'd be a great project to do with the kids. There are no electric mixers involved, and rolling the peanut butter is a tasty hands-on task.
Give them a try, and let me know what you think! Or just send me your favorite PB and Chocolate recipe... I'm always looking.
1 (19.5-oz.) box Pillsbury® Brownie Classics Traditional Fudge Brownie Mix
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
4 oz. cream cheese (from 8-oz. pkg.), softened
1 egg
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 (16-oz.) can chocolate fudge ready-to-spread frosting
1. Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, beat brownie mix, melted butter, cream cheese and egg 50 strokes with spoon until well blended (dough will be sticky).
2. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets to make 24 cookies; smooth edge of each to form round cookie.
3. In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and peanut butter with spoon until mixture forms a ball. With hands, roll rounded teaspoonfuls peanut butter mixture into 24 balls. Lightly press 1 ball into center of each ball of dough.
4. Bake at 350°F. for 10 to 14 minutes or until edges are set. Cool on cookie sheets at least 30 minutes.
5. Remove from cookie sheets. Spread thin layer of frosting over peanut butter portion of each cooled cookie.

|Happy Memorial Day!
Who didn't realize it was National Beef Month?
Who thought all the food blogs posting creative looking burger creations was simply a large coincidence?
Who, much like with the Cinco de Mayo incident, decided to get in on the action last-minute and throw together a burger with only two days to spare?
::raises hand, sheepishly::
Okay, actually, it had less to do with me trying to follow the cool kids and more to do with the fact that I'd recently tried what I'm going to call the Best Burger of my Life and decided that since I can't and probably shouldn't throw down $13 a burger twice a week at the amazing new Brick Wall Burger near my work, I would have to recreate something similar to curb my Burger Piemonte cravings in between visits.
Seriously, this was a divine burger. Let me show you:
|Best Burger of. My. Life.
Anyway, a friend's Memorial Day cook-out was the perfect opportunity to try my hand at re-creating this burger, with a few embellishments.
Boyfriend's burger is famous among our group of friends, so I've included that as well (sans pictures sadly) since he's convinced that my readers think he only makes me kielbasa and tacos when I let him cook. His burger is a masterpiece in itself, and he is my dutiful aide in all things involving the grill--I had him do the actual grilling for mine too since I'm still a little scared of that device.
|He also graduated this weekend, with high honors! :)
Bee's Burger Attempt
|This burger is large and in charge, baby.
makes 4 1/4 lb burgers or 8 sliders
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 thick slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 thick slices apple-smoked bacon
- 2 portobello mushroom caps, slices to a little less than 1/2" thick
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar dressing
- Drizzle of white balsamic vinegar reduction with truffle oil flavor (or real truffle oil of course, if you're so lucky)
- sesame seed buns (I wanted brioche, but the supermarket had none)
- salt and pepper
-Form the ground beef into 4 equal patties and season each side with salt and pepper. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar reduction and rub lightly into meat on both sides. Let marinate while you complete the next steps.
-Mix the sliced mushroom caps with the balsamic vinegar dressing, set aside.
-Cut bacon to fit burgers, most likely this will be in half. Cook to desired texture over medium high heat (I like mine a little chewy). Move to a paper-towel lined plate and set aside. Cook mushrooms in same skillet until tender.
-Grill burgers to desired done-ness--I like medium with a good amount of pink--and top with cheddar cheese. If desired, slather inside of sesame buns with butter and grill for a few minutes. Move cooked burgers to buns and top with bacon and mushrooms. EAT.
|Sides are store-bought sadly, but tasty!
Boyfriend's Famous Burgers
Makes 4 1/4 lb burgers or 8 sliders
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 tbs Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 jalapenos
- salt and pepper
- sesame seed buns
-Form beef into patties and season with salt and pepper. Splash each side with Worcestershire sauce. Allow to marinate for at least ten minutes.
-Remove stems from jalapenos and grill until black blisters form. Slice into wheels.
-Cook burgers on grill until desired done-ness. Top with cheddar cheese and jalapenos. Serve on a warm sesame seed bun with spicy mustard and ketchup. DEVOUR.
|Didn't grab a picture of his, so here's another of mine!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day. What were some of your favorite cook-out dishes?

My kids have recently gotten into Playmobile. While I was assembling the castle for them, it suddenly dawned on me that Star Wars Playmobile sets would be fantastic. You'd never have to complain about a lack of playsets. They include accessories galore. Stormtroopers and the like would have snap on armor. There would be tons of playability for kids. It would be a really great marriage of toys and licensing.
The only drawbacks would be that I don't know how, or if, they would do any non-human characters, and all their human characters would essentially have that same face that all their figures do.
Lego got around the alien thing, though I think those look a little weird, and manage to use the same yellow face variations sucessfully on everyone else, and the prices for sets is about the same, but I think the Playmobile sets would be better.

LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri, a three-time National Coach of the Year and the second-winningest coach in Fighting Tiger history, was granted a three-year contract extension Friday by the LSU Board of Supervisors.
The Board's action extends Mainieri's contract through the 2017 season.
"Coach Mainieri's program excels in each of the areas that we emphasize at LSU - competition, classroom and community," said Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Joe Alleva. "His teams compete for championships every year, the players enjoy academic success, and they are active participants in public service endeavors. This extension rewards Coach Mainieri for running our baseball program the right way."
Mainieri has a 258-122-2 record in six seasons at LSU, ranking behind only Skip Bertman (870 wins from 1984-2001) on the school career list for baseball coaching victories.
Just three years after taking over the LSU program, Mainieri led the Tigers to the 2009 National Championship, directing his squad to a 56-17 overall record and a 10-1 mark in NCAA Tournament competition. LSU defeated Texas in the CWS Championship Finals to win the national title, its first since 2000.
The 2009 national championship is one of the many highlights of Mainieri's tenure at LSU, which has featured two College World Series appearances, three NCAA Regional titles, two Southeastern Conference championships, three SEC Tournament titles and three SEC Western Division crowns.
Mainieri most recently guided the 2012 Tigers to the SEC Championship and the No. 7 National Seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Mainieri's commitment to academic excellence has been illustrated by the Tigers' performance in the classroom as 64 LSU players have received SEC Academic Honor Roll recognition over the past six seasons.
Mainieri has established an active community service function within the baseball program, as the Tigers regularly visit hospitals and schools in the Baton Rouge area. The team also participates in the ALS Walk -- promoting awareness of the treatment of Lou Gehrig's Disease -- and in the Buddy Walk, which is designed to encourage acceptance and inclusion of people with Down Syndrome.
Mainieri is personally involved in several philanthropic causes, including Cancer Services of Baton Rouge, the ALS Association, the Mental Health Association of Greater Baton Rouge, Prevent Child Abuse and the McMains Development Center for Children.
Javi through 2017
Posted by Message TJG210 Mainieri gets extension through 2017 Was a grill and smoker thrown in?
What's the need to extend him this long? Is he looking on moving anywhere else? I doubt it. He's got it freakin made here at LSU. No school offers as much attention and money to baseball as we do. I don't really get this, but whatever. I want to see Omaha soon with my Tigers in attendance.

By David Wheeler/Special to the NEMS Daily Journal
The Northeast Tigers and Itawamba Indians are two teams desperately in need of North Division wins.
Unfortunately, only one of these teams can pick up needed momentum today as the Indians travel to the Tigers for a 7:30 p.m. tip.
"We had a slow start to the season," Northeast head coach David Robbins said. "And this month, we've taken a couple of weeks to find ourselves."
The Tigers (7-7, 2-4) are coming off an 82-62 loss to Mississippi Delta on Monday. But while a division win would be nice, the rivalry with ICC adds a little spice to the meeting with both teams vying for one of four North playoff spots.
"I didn't think we played particularly well the first time, taking nothing from them," said Robbins, whose Tigers lost 68-64 at ICC on Nov. 29. "The North is so balanced that if you don't come ready to play each night, you're going to take your bumps."
In their first meeting, the Tigers were without point guard Acie Vance from Ripley. Forwards KeDorian Sullivan and Tyler Brunson led Northeast with 19 points each.
"There is no room for error this time of season," Robbins said. "You have to get all of your games at home, and one or two on the road."
'inconsistent' Icc
Itawamba (8-9, 1-5) needs a serious jump-start to the second half of its North schedule.
"So far we've been inconsistent," Itawamba coach Grant Pate said. "We've played some good halves, but we're trying to put two good halves together."
Tupelo sophomore Deontaye Ewing scored 19 in the Nov. 29 win over Northeast, and has been a consistent factor throughout the season. Guard Quinton Lee and Starkville freshman Tory Rice have contributed nicely in January as well.
"The first matchup was a back-and-forth game," Pate said. "This is a real important game on several points for us.
"We're trying to get back on the winning side, it's a rivalry game, and it's just a big North Division game for both of us."

I recently deleted a thread I started here based on the advise of another poster . I gave time for input from others. Only one suggested I let it stand. Then they attacked me for my deletion.
I've been out of the loop for most of today.
After dinner I logged on to review the more recent posts. If I used the word "virulent" in my previous post let me now state that it was way to gentle after viewing the recent posts on this first page.
"Be civil, or be banned" is not what we see.
I've been here for a while. I remember civil discourse and genuine disagreement between parties, but that is not what we enjoy today.
Deleting a thread that has gone astray is something more OP's should consider. My JD

There were several "hard-to-find" figures in the POTF2 line. Which one(s) were the hardest/most satisfying to finally get?
For me, I'd go with either R2 w/holo Leia or DV: Removable Helmet. R2 because it took about 1 1/2 yers, and Vader 'cause it was at retail instead of several collectible shops that had it for $20.

Last week, we had the pleasure of being invited to be part of the Lenox Wedding Planner Tour.
Our mission, should we have chosen to accept it (which we did, of course): Provide the invitations that would serve as the inspiration for the Design Challenge.
The challenge: Choose one of our wedding invitations and design a dinner table around it.
The planners were spread out among several properties (the Appletree Inn, Winthrop Estate, Seven Hills Inn, Gateways Inn, Rookwood Inn and Garden Gables Inn) around Lenox, Massachusetts, which is nestled in the heart of the Berkshires.
We were asked to hold court over the Winthrop Estate designers: Annie Lee from Daughter of Design, Krista Njapa of C&G Weddings and Ariella Chezar of Ariella Flowers. Below are a few photos that show off the Crane & Co. invitations they chose on the tables they beautifully designed.
Annie Lee chose the Silver Bevel Calligraphy invitations as her table inspiration, using vintage novels from the Estate's library, candlesticks and eucalyptus. "It's very Ralph Lauren," she said of the finished design. "Basically it looks like my bedroom."
Krista Njapa's table was located in the Estate's dining room, which meant formal and elegant. So she chose our Copper Monogram invitations and adorned her table with a gold vintage clock and soft-hued roses. "I wanted it to look vintage, but clean and modern," she said.
The arboretum was the locale for Ariella Chezar's table, which was fitting for her floral expertise. She chose the kate spade Green Lanterns invitation and played up the vibrant spring hue, adding pops of purple. "I'm obsessed with green," she admitted, "and my table is in the arboretum, so I wanted to play on the botanicals."

If college was once about the transition from youth to adulthood — learning to feed yourself (or at least make Easy Mac), set your own bedtime (or drink a lot of coffee) and, most important, choose your career path — these days, the parenthetical amendment to that third goal may be, "or three." With a job market as unpredictable as Lindsay Lohan's sobriety, some students have decided the secret to succeeding after college may be to place their academic eggs in as many baskets as possible. Indeed, reciting a student's college degrees when it's time to hand out diplomas can be more difficult than giving a Starbucks order. Why are so many students taking on so much?
Gotta have friendsPart of the motivation for declaring multiple majors is the desire to expand your academic and social network. The green crusader behind you in line who slapped you a high five because you opted for soy milk may likewise shake your hand at commencement if you pair your business degree with environmental studies.
Susan Jackson, senior associate dean at Boston University, explains that declaring a major can mean more than just a title on a diploma. "Being in a major involves being in a community of other students and faculty members," she says. And that's a valuable resource, " . . . particularly at a large university."
More for your money
Beyond the warm-fuzzy feelings of camaraderie, a double or triple major also appeals to the student who recognizes how arbitrary the logic of the job market can be. Not many people keep the same job — or even stay in the same career field — for their entire lives any more. So instead of getting a business degree to inherit Dad's furniture store, why not get an architecture degree on the side and maybe throw in some Italian? This way, if couches and dining-room tables become a thing of the past in 2030, you'll always have a career as a translator to fall back on. Really, you're just getting the bang for your buck out of a $40,000-a-year college education. This deal is buy one, get two free.
Showing off . . .
But it's not only about loving a bargain. Some students see triple majors as an intellectual feat. "Multiple majors and minors present a particular kind of challenge and sense of satisfaction because it entails pursuing a subject in some considerable depth and moving from one question to another question to another set of questions," says Jackson.
In some cases, the challenge of balancing three sets of course requirements may be appealing more for that "wow" factor than for the cerebral rush.
"Everybody gasps with awe when you say you're triple majoring with minors and a full-time job and 24 hours of community service a week," Jackson points out.
. . . perhaps to no avail
This search for the "wow" may be a value a student embraces even before the first day of school. Some kids arrive at college dreaming of piling on the credentials. Penelope Trunk, author of Brazen Careerist: The New Rules for Success, explains that when students are taught to be overachievers in high school, they confuse the yardsticks for success in that closed environment with what brings success in the real world.

Excelling as a New Manager or Supervisor
This 24-hour, comprehensive program for those with new management or
supervisory responsibilities is anchored on a foundation of essential
skills, providing a consistent leadership language for your
organization. Participants will be engaged in a highly interactive
learning environment using a competency-based approach for developing
leadership ability. As a result of this course, inexperienced leaders
will develop vital skills necessary for every successful leader.
Get printable copy
Modules (See descriptions below):
Each module is 4 hours.
* Communicating for Leadership Success
* Behavioral Styles and Their Impact in the Workplace
* Driving Change
* Coaching for Peak Performance
* Resolving Workplace Conflict
* Attitude is Everything
Upon successful completion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Achieve results through others by building strong relationships with team members.
- Identify the four behavioral styles in order to to discover and understand the strengths associated with your work style and the work styles of others.
- Provide proactive coaching for success and support for improvement.
- Provide effective feedback to continue to encourage innovative ideas.
- Involve others in the change process to minimize resistance and maximize commitment.
- Monitor personal disagreements and intra-team disputes to prevent escalating conflict.
- Recognize when there is an attitude problem and the steps necessary to correct it.
Module Descriptions:
Communicating for Leadership Success is the foundation for each of our leadership certificates. You will learn how to get results through people. Tools necessary for a successful "leadership journey" will be presented.
Behavioral Styles and Their Impact in the Workplace presents opportunities to discover and understand the strengths associated with your work style and the work styles of others. The DiSC personal profile system will be utilized to increase each participant's awareness and understanding of the four primary behavioral styles and their effect on interpersonal interactions and relationships. Strategies to bring out the best in others will be discovered.
Driving Change
This training focuses on the crucial role leaders have in effectively exploring change, introducing change, and helping others overcome resistance typically associated with change. Leaders learn how to conduct effective change discussions that minimize the potentially negative effects of change on morale, processes, and productivity.
Coaching for Peak Performance
Introduces skills for guiding individuals and teams toward achieving successful results. Leaders learn the importance of helping people learn from successes rather than mistakes, how to balance seeking and telling, and how to conduct an effective coaching discussion.
Resolving Workplace Conflict
Enables leaders to recognize signs of conflict, assess the conflict to determine their level of involvement, and serve as a catalyst to encourage those involved in the conflict to achieve resolution. Leaders learn the skill to both provide support and to act as mediators.
Attitude is Everything
Creating and maintaining a healthy attitude is imperative to the success of an individual as well as an entire organization. A positive environment can increase productivity and improve morale, quality, customer satisfaction, etc. However, at any given time, there can be individuals or groups of individuals who delight in depositing their negativity here and there. If not detected and eliminated quickly, this attitude can spread throughout the organization with alarming speed. This program will provide participants with the tools to recognize when there is an attitude problem and the steps necessary to correct it.
What participants had to say...
"We have become a more cohesive management
team that can better communicate with each other and with our individual work
teams. Thanks BCI!"
-- Dan Phillips, Director of Rehabilitation Services, Sparrow Hospital
"Knowing the difference between thoughtful business leadership and the kind that happens seemingly by accident is critical - this program is a MUST for anyone in any type of leadership role." -- Keith Hoffman, Symmetry Medical Inc-Jet

This Week in Internet Censorship: activists and bloggers under fire, "cyber security" proposals, and surveillance tech exports
Two weeks ago, the New York Times published a letter to the editor from Christopher Wolf, who leads the Internet Task Force of the Anti-Defamation League, in which he suggested:
It is time to consider Facebook's real-name policy as an Internet norm because online identification demonstrably leads to accountability and promotes civility.
People who are able to post anonymously (or pseudonymously) are far more likely to say awful things, sometimes with awful consequences, such as the suicides of cyberbullied young people. The abuse extends to hate-filled and inflammatory comments appended to the online versions of newspaper articles — comments that hijack legitimate discussions of current events and discourage people from participating.
Cablegate One Year Later: How WikiLeaks Has Influenced Foreign Policy, Journalism, and the First Amendment
One year ago today, WikiLeaks started publishing a trove of over 250,000 leaked U.S. State Department cables, which have since formed the basis of reporting for newspapers around the globe. The publication has given the public a window into the inner workings of government at an unprecedented scale, and in the process, has transformed journalism in the digital age.
Today mobile software company Carrier IQ withdrew (pdf) a bogus legal threat to a security researcher who published an analysis of the company's software, as well as training materials on which he based his research.
Last week, Trevor Eckhart published a detailed article pointing out that Carrier IQ's software logs a great deal of information about users' activities without their knowledge. Attempting to suppress his research, Carrier IQ fired off a baseless cease-and-desist demand (pdf) claiming that Eckhart infringed the company's copyrights and made "false allegations" about their software.
Last week, security researcher Trevor Eckhart posted an analysis of software produced by Carrier IQ, which describes itself as "the world's leading provider of Mobile Service Intelligence solutions." Eckhart concluded that the software, which comes by default on many mobile devices and runs quietly in the background, logs extensive details about users' activities. Eckhart not only documented the functionality of the software, but learned even more about how it works through training materials posted on the Carrier IQ website. Fearing the company would take the files offline after he posted his analysis, he mirrored the training materials to let others independently verify his conclusions.

I want to get this thread going as a consolidated place where everyone can come to share customizing ideas. All "how tos" and creative questions, answers and ideas about heads and hands could go here. I want to limit this to the heads and hands so the thread doesn't get to large and difficult to find info in.
To start...I have only just begun to customize. The first thing I would like to know is...Are all of the hands attached in the same way and how do I remove them. Same questions for the heads.

Beats Tour 2.0 In-Ear Headphone (Black)
"This new version of tour is slightly better than the old ones. The bass part is less than the first version and I can tell Beats started to care about the sound quality. But still, everything else don't go very well on this earphone. It is still closed, make people dizzy. Still, I think we can get better sound quality earphones in this price other than Beats Tour.

Sorry if this is old news,
but I was reading Toyfare last night and they report that all proceeds from the Lionel Hutz figure are going to a trust for Hartman's kids.
I'm a big fan of his work, and I want to say I think it's pretty cool of them to do this. Not sire if it's a joint venture between Playmates, Fox, Groening, or whomever, but I just wanted to voice my appreciation for this.
Now I just hope I can FIND one of these figs !

As of October 1 of this year, veterans with service-related disabilities are also granted free admission when the weekend and holiday gate entrance fee of $1.50/person (children 5 and under free) is in effect at most regional parks. Veterans must establish eligibility by calling 954-357-6622 to schedule an appointment at one of the seven Broward County Veterans Service locations to complete an application. The Elderly and Veterans Services Division will contact veterans once eligibility is confirmed, and the eligible veteran can pick up a credit card-style pass at the regional park office of their choice or request that the pass be mailed; passes are good for five years from date of activation – a savings of more than $125 – and may be renewed. (The passes do not provide prepaid parking at Hollywood North Beach Park or admittance into special park amenities or events.)
For further information, call or visit the park of your choice. Remember, all Broward County Parks (with the exception of Deerfield Island Park) will be open their regular operating hours on Veterans Day. The parks' regular holiday gate entrance fee of $1.50/person (children 5 and under free) will also be in effect.

(Topeekeegee Yugnee) Park (November 8), Plantation Heritage Park (November 15), and Easterlin Park (November 22).

How much do you know about Jamaica? The culture of this tiny Caribbean island is a rich stew of influences, including elements from Spain and Britain, China and India, and of course West Africa. For the 12th year in a row, you can find out more about the diverse heritage of the country when Markham Park & Target Range hosts the popular Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival. The event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday, November 10, features musical performances, sporting competitions, and much more.
Then, of course, there's authentic jerk cuisine. "Jerk," for the uninitiated, refers to a fiery mix of spices and other ingredients that can include allspice, Scotch bonnet peppers, cloves, cinnamon, scallions, nutmeg, thyme, garlic, lime juice, and more. The marinade/rub is best known for its use on such familiar items as chicken, pork, fish, shrimp, and lobster but can also extend to such exotica as jerk yams and even jerk ice cream. The event's Jerk Cook-off will offer cash prizes and cooking demonstrations.
Tickets are $20 in advance, $30 the day of the event, and are available online (service fees apply) as well as at Jamaican businesses throughout Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties. (Ages 10 and under are admitted free.) For more information, call Markham at 954-357-8868 or the event sponsor at 786-361-1103, or visit jerkfestival.com. The park is accessible via Broward County Transit Route #23.
This year leading up to the festival will be the Hot Trot Jerk 5K Run/Walk, starting at 8 a.m. on Sunday, November 3, also at Markham. Visit the festival Website for details.
Relive the magic of the past at Camelot Days Medieval Festival, from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, November 9 and 10 and November 16 and 17, at T.Y. (Topeekeegee Yugnee) Park. These back-in-time weekends feature live music, hearty food and drink, entertainment by jesters and jousters, challenging games, exciting rides, and more. Cheer for your favorite side in the Living Chess Game, and shop for handcrafted treasures in the Artists' Market.
For more information, call the park at 954-357-8811 or the event sponsor at 786-332-0047, email email@example.com, or visit camelotdays.com. Admission is $15 for ages 13 and up, $3 for ages 6 to 12, and free for ages 5 and under. The park's regular weekend and holiday gate entrance fee of $1.50/person (children 5 and under free) will also be in effect. T.Y. is accessible via Broward County Transit Routes #3, #12, and #17.

The hands-on event, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 3, at the Anne Kolb Nature Center, features information on fish and what they eat, as well as instruction in how to use a fishing rod, tie a hook, and catch and release fish.

Preregistration is required, and a $2/person donation to the Friends of Anne Kolb volunteer group is requested. For more information, call Anne Kolb at 954-357-5161.
Registration is also now open for the 16th annual Junior Bass Tournament Trail, which invites ages 12 to 17 to compete for the title of Junior Angler of the Year and win the accompanying prize package.

Points are awarded (along with trophies) at each tournament, and the angler with the most cumulative points at the end wins. Participants must be accompanied by an adult, and space is limited, so early registration is recommended. The fee is $80 for each participant and covers all four tournaments; there is no fee for the adult in the boat. For more information, contact Bob Newland at 954-357-8816 or email@example.com.

These two solutions seem comparable to me. I still don't understand why adding Ethernet to an Arduino costs more than the Arduino on its own. I appreciate costs go down with volumes but an Ethernet shield is still at the top end of shield prices.
eried: That is an ENC28j60 chipset, not a Wiznet. It will gobble up the ram on an Uno like nobodies business, and the standard ethernet library doesn't support it AT ALL.BTW: If you think the ethernet is expensive, look at the WiFi.. EeeGads.. I suppose if you HAVE to prototype a WiFi setup... Remember the Arduino is just an educational/prototyping platform. Prototyping is generally always more expensive than mass production, even if this is prototyping on a mass scale.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – While Ole Miss got strong offensive production from its bench against Alabama, setting the tone was about defense – not just effort but also scheme.
After looking at Alabama's 3-point percentages, Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy had the urge to play more zone, but he traded those numbers for the hope that the Rebels would be more aggressive if everybody had a man to guard.
He was rewarded.
Ole Miss held Alabama to 38.5 percent shooting in the first half in building a 37-25 halftime lead. The Rebels extended that lead early into the second half but had to hit free throws down the stretch to secure an 87-83 win.
"I was thinking coming into the game to play a lot more zone based on some body issues that we had up front, and they've struggled against the zone," Kennedy said. "I didn't want us to come out passive. I wanted us to come out aggressive, so we decided to go man, and it was very effective."
furious comeback
The Crimson Tide defied its statistics and came close to pulling off an improbable comeback.
An Alabama team that scored only 38 points in losing at Auburn and has routinely scored in the 50s put up 58 points in the second half, 23 in the last three minutes.
The Crimson Tide, shooting just 30.6 percent from 3-point range against the SEC, was 6-for-8 from 3-point range over the last 1 minute, 53 seconds.
Ole Miss guard LaDarius White had visions of the Rebels losing a 19-point lead at home.
"We got scared," he said.
Ultimately the game's body of work stood up. Ole Miss was outrebounded by 16 and gave up 23 points off 17 offensive rebounds for Alabama, but the Rebels also scored 22 points off 17 forced turnovers.
Alabama point guard Trevor Releford, the Crimson Tide's catalyst on offense, averages 15.4 points but was held to three in the first half – shadowed by Jarvis Summers – when Ole Miss took control.
"We were up in passing lanes, not allowing them to reverse the ball. We had very active hands, which allowed us to get some steals and get in the open floor," Kennedy said.
Holloway – who had four blocked shots – hopes it's an effort the Rebels (22-8, 11-6 SEC) can learn from going into Saturday's regular season finale at LSU.
"We should watch how we played defense in the first half on film and get everybody to buy into, 'We can't win unless we do that.' In the second half at the end they made a bunch of hard shots," Holloway said.
"If we do that, realize what we've got to do and play defense, I think we'll be OK."
