Picked up the Star Wars Scrapbook at Barnes & Noble for $5.98 a few days ago. Everything was actually inside and it was in good condition!
Picked up the Star Wars Scrapbook at Barnes & Noble for $5.98 a few days ago. Everything was actually inside and it was in good condition!
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
My Waldenbooks got a new shipment of the Doug Chiang Phantom Menace collectible artbook in last week. I picked that up for $8 and a 2000 edition of a price guide for $2.
I'm visiting a Barnes and Noble later this week to see what they have to offer!
I picked up the TPM Tin lithograph set at a Waldenbooks for 7.99, and my best friend found one at a B&N for like 10 bucks. I'm just happy I DIDN'T pick one up when they were 56 bucks!!!!
People who whine about scalpers need to GET A LIFE.
I have to drive 25 miles to find a Waldenbooks (or 35 miles if I go west). Booo!!! There used to be one 7 miles away, and now it's a Foot Action...
Cost for Book Q... $xx.xx
Cost for Book Z... $yy.yy
Cost for Book K... $@@.@@
All these sales... useless.
Oh, why must I be tortured so? It is utterly impossible for me to get in on these deals. It's hopeless, hopeless...
lazy (adj.) 1. disliking activity or exertion, 2. sluggish, 3. Bel-Cam Jos
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
The litho boxed set is nice but it's not $56 nice. I'm glad I waited.
Wait, Waldenbooks?
Psyche! Gotcha!
Or, did I? Nah. I just didn't want to start a new thread, just stolened an old one.
The school where I work had a book faire yesterday at the local Barnes & Noble. Not only a percentage of sales to go to the school, but there were various spirit events from students and staff there: poetry reading, cheer and dance performers, band playing, etc. Really neat, really cool. But... I picked up a SW book and I went to buy some "underground" and fairly unknown books for my classroom library. One by a Miller guy, called The Crucible, and another by that FS Fritzgerm-whatever dude famous for the Benjamin Button movie, titled The Great Batboy or something. Not on the shelves for Fiction & Literature nor Drama & Plays?!? Oh. They put them in the High School Reading section (makes some sense I guess; but not in BOTH sections?) which is... right behind all the performers. The employees had no qualms about picking out copies or speaking in full-volume voices, but I said I'd wait until the kids were done. And, the "You Might Be Interested In..." part of my receipt suggested some other Miller plays: Death of a Salesman, All My Sons, and The Crucible? Really? Didn't your high tech computer register know I just bought that one? Eh, for a good cause.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.

Always loved Bess-Hartline.
Legitimate #1 WR's can consistently work through and beat double teams, hartlime cannot as he's very limited in his routes and needs tons of space for the route tree that he runs (that's limited as well -- because his talent is very limited). In fact, he's not even good in 1-on-1 press coverage without any help. He ONLY looks decent when a corner is laying back with no help. Otherwise he's sub-mediocre as a starting WR. Always has been, and always will be.
And to finalize, yes, it was a total fluke. It was obvious for anyone who saw no attention given to him early.
Keep it coming. It amuses me how you overrate every player on the team and think this team is loaded with playmakers. How's your boy slow poke Fasano doing (who you believe is a Top 5 tight end in the nfl ?) . lol

The College Street bike lane is quite possibly one of Toronto's most used. Hundreds, if not thousands, of cyclists use this east/west bike lane to go to work, school, shop or simply get across town. Unfortunately, this bike lane is also a perfect place to let your car idle while you quickly run into one of the many shops and businesses that line this busy street.
The bike lane starts at Bay Street at its east end. In the image above we see a cyclist using the lane, a parked bicycle and another cyclist peaking into a window, a nice little slice of daily life.
Heading west, we pass the long intersection of University Avenue. And we find our first bike lane parker. Sure, a delivery truck may only park for a few minutes at a time… many times a day, every weekday… oh I guess that adds up:
Moving further west, we see things are as they should be at Henry Street:
But then we spot a van on the south side of the street just east of St. George:
A little further west and it's another white truck, only this one is much larger:
On the north side of College, east of Spadina, the bike lane ends as the road narrows. On the South side we see the bike lane makes the perfect place to park or wait for your next fare:
Even when not parked in the bike lane vehicles pose a risk… watch out for the "door prize":
Just because you're making deliveries in the bike lane doesn't mean cyclists can get by you… you just make it more dangerous to do so:
Another delivery truck, another squeeze out for cyclists:
Delivery trucks could use empty parking spaces, but, since they don't buy parking permits they could get a ticket, better stick to the bike lane:
As we continue our trip we see things get back to normal:
Parallel parking also poses a risk. Sure, it is a temporary risk that does come with the added benefit that cars are equipped with reverse lights, so you know they're coming. I assume this car was waiting to park:
But after we pass by and look behind us, the car is still there and the way is perfectly clear. Possibly they are just very slow parallel parkers… hopefully:
On the south side it looks like a biker has met with a cyclist:
Is this a stand-off? I'm not sure what's going on here, but that biker is quickly outnumbered:
And I bet you thought only parcel delivery trucks used the bike lane… All cube-shaped trucks are welcome of course:
And just a few more metres beyond Euclid, it's delivery time:
And then we reach the end of the bike lane as College narrows and on-street parking is a must:
For cyclists using the College Street bike lane, I'm certain that the above images come as no surprise. The fact that the Google Street View car was able to capture this many bike lane parkers in such a brief amount of time shows just how prevalent this illegal activity is.

From The Sudbury Star:
Local cyclist a champion for new bike paths
Years ago in Toronto, Nathalie Gara-Boivin took the kind of spill that might force anyone to hang up their bike for good.
She was 17 and biking along the road when she went to turn into a local plaza. Taking the turn, she hit a difference in pavement heights and her bike skidded out from underneath her. In a split second, she landed hard and broken her jaw. She couldn't speak for three months. Then her jaw had to be re-broken because it wasn't done correctly the first time.
So Gara-Boivin totally gets it when people tell her they are scared to cycle. But as chair of the Sudbury Bicycle Advisory Committee, she isn't letting fear and a near complete lack of cycling infrastructure stop her from promoting more cycling in Sudbury.
Her main focus now is to ensure the Bell Park Path is constructed properly as part of reconstruction of the Grace Hartman Amphitheatre. It would be a rare victory on the infrastructure side for a committee that has seen pathways disappear.
Cyclists ride past almost on cue during a recent interview with Gara-Boivin as she explains how the current makeshift pathway needs upgrading and extending through the park.
"This is a main connector. Right now it's a makeshift path. It's hazardous. The city needs to allocate dollars. I think people need to be more vocal. If they're scared to ride their bikes they need to voice their opinion that we need to see more done," she says.
The path is the BAC's proposal as part of reconstruction of the amphitheatre. The path would run from the Sudbury Canoe Club, behind the hospital where the road needs reconstruction, and finally past the amphitheatre.
The path would likely pass where the washrooms are located so cyclists can commute while events are ongoing. Then it would be brought along to connect with the path on Paris Street. That path will link shortly with the Rainbow Routes Ramsey Lake Path, where construction is humming along, almost at frightening speed.
Oh, the potential, oh, the possibilities.
Yes, but cycling in Sudbury is like a fast food snack cake of creamy icing that looks tasty at first then leaves you feeling sick at the end. Lord, why did I eat that?
On one end of the spectrum is Sudbury's proud cycling history. Three Sudburians made Canadian Olympic teams in 1984, 1988, 1996, 2000 and 2004. Eric Wohlberg rode on three Olympic teams and won gold at Pan American and Commonwealth Games. There's Delki Dozzi cycling track. Imagine trying to build that today.
On the other end is the lack of cycling infrastructure. It's especially troubling to BAC members who see what's going on in (insert any city here). How come bike paths in Sudbury disappear?
Gara-Boivin knows the shortfall on infrastructure has been a challenge.
"I don't know why. We need someone dedicated at the city, whether that's in the transportation division, who is looking at bike infrastructure, bike lanes, bike racks. We don't even have an inventory of where current bike racks are."
Gara-Boivin worked once as a co-op student in Ottawa's transportation division where several staff were dedicated exclusively to Ottawa's bike infrastructure. Sudbury also lacks a cycling master plan, she adds.
Gara-Boivin takes heart with some of the BAC's success stories, primarily on the education front. She remains a strong advocate for the proper wearing of bike helmets.
The BAC has achieved a rack-and- roll program where cyclists can put their bikes on racks at the front of city transit buses. There's the annual Ramsey Lake cycle tour. BAC members have supported bike rides with different community groups. They're working on furthering the Share-the-Road program and developing a cycling map.

Your Dream Car
Various prototypes of alternative energy cars
Student Exploration
What does your dream car look like? What special features would it have? Would it look something like this?
For most of us, our dream car is a certain type (sports car, SUV, truck) or a certain color. Have you ever thought about the fuel source? Today, there are a few different options out on the market: gasoline powered cars, electric cars, and hybrid cars (a combination of gasoline and electric sources of energy).
While we are familiar with how gasoline powered cars work, electric and hybrid cars might need a little more explanation.
Here is a site that explains how electric vehicles use energy efficiently: http://www.teslamotors.com/goelectric/efficiency
Here is a site where you can learn more about how a hybrid car works: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/hybridAnimation/swfs/hybridframe.html
What type of fuel source do you think that your dream car will use? Why?
Extension Investigation
- On the CK-12 site under the concept, Energy from Biomass, the production of ethanol fuel from corn is discussed as an alternative to petroleum power. What are some other alternative energy sources that could power our dream cars of the future? Brainstorm a list of other renewable and non-renewable resources that could be used to power a vehicle.
- Here are some examples of current areas of scientific exploration in this field: Hydrogen Fuel Hydrogen https://www.llnl.gov/str/pdfs/03_96.3.pdf Hydrogen Fueling Station Fuel http://energy.gov/articles/hydrogen-student-design-contest-inspires-and-opens-doors Fuel Cell Technology Microbial http://www1.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuelcells/pdfs/doe_h2_fuelcell_factsheet.pdf Microbial Fuel Cells Copying https://str.llnl.gov/Mar12/qian.html Copying Nature's Photosynthetic Process Carbon https://news.slac.stanford.edu/features/power-plants-scientists-use-x-ray-laser-probe-engines-photosynthesis Carbon Nanotubes For http://news.stanford.edu/news/2012/may/unzipped-carbon-nanotubes-052712.html For each of these, identify the positive and negative characteristics. Which of these sources would be easiest to obtain? Which are renewable resources? Which of these areas of exploration do you think have a future in the automotive industry? Why?

Los Angeles, Calif., April 9, 2008—SOA Software, a leading mainframe web services vendor, today announced that SOLA, its flagship mainframe SOA product, has reached the five year mark in running reliably extremely high volume production environments. During this period SOLA has not been responsible for a single production outage, despite handling tens of millions of transactions every day.
SOLA runs the world's largest mainframe SOA implementations. A number of SOLA customers use it to run many millions of mainframe web services transactions per day, and many customers' plans anticipate volume in the 20-30 million transactions per day range.
"Today marks five successful years of 100% availability, high volume production web services for our product. SOLA was the first product to deploy production mainframe web services and it has the best track record of any mainframe SOA solution" said Jim Crew, SOLA co-creator and Vice President of SOA Software, "SOLA handles tens of millions of secure transactions every day and has never caused a production outage."
SOLA is an enterprise class mainframe web services solution that seamlessly integrates the mainframe into a Service Oriented Architecture, with end-to-end governance and unlimited scalability. With its run-time running exclusively on the mainframe, SOLA has proven to be an attractive solution for firms seeking secure, available, high-volume, mission critical mainframe integration with high performance and low CPU overhead.
SOLA owes its success in no small part to Merrill Lynch, where the product (then called X4ML) was created based on a set of uncompromising requirements for an enterprise-class mainframe web services solution and a lack of adequate solutions available in the market. "SOLA has allowed us to simplify and modernize our environment, while allowing us to eliminate complex and expensive gateway servers" said Henry Tsang, Vice President of Merrill Lynch. "What sets SOLA apart is that it offers integrated monitoring, logging, auditing, WS-Security and WS-Policy on the mainframe, all of which benefit from the mainframe's performance, reliability and scalability while offering end-to-end transaction visibility."
SOLA implements the entire SOAP stack on the mainframe, inheriting the mainframe platform's legendary speed, reliability, scalability and manageability. SOLA keeps overhead to a minimum by implementing much of the SOAP stack in assembler. Customers report that SOLA adds around 2 milliseconds elapsed time to a transaction. The 2 milliseconds includes the complete SOAP stack, authentication, authorization, monitoring and SLA enforcement. SOLA's efficiency is an important competitive differentiator; other products can add 100 milliseconds or more to a transaction.
No Last-mile security Issues
Running the SOAP stack on the mainframe offers significant advantages over competitors who run their processing on middle-tier gateways. For example, SOLA's standards based implementation of WS-Security and WS-Policy runs entirely on the mainframe using the integrated cryptographic coprocessors available on the zSeries. This contrasts with other mainframe web services implementations which rely on partner products for security. Those products run on middle-tier gateways, exposing customer transactions to "last-mile" security vulnerabilities.
No Java on the Mainframe
SOLA's assembler language SOAP stack implementation is so efficient that there's only a small overhead when publishing a mainframe program as a fully secured, managed, monitored and governed Web Service. SOLA's fully compliant DOM parser uses less general purpose CPU than an equivalent Java parser running on a zAAP – while taking less than 5% of the elapsed time. This makes SOLA more efficient and much faster than products which use Java running on a zAAP to parse XML.
Less Complex
Because SOLA offers a complete SOA solution there is no requirement to integrate multiple products when building an enterprise-class SOA incorporating the mainframe. SOLA includes a "drag-and-drop" graphical development studio, an integrated UDDI registry, WS-Security, WS-Policy, monitoring, logging, a management console and dashboard, SLA management, BPEL, SAML, X509 Certificates, LDAP and Active Directory. SOLA eliminates the complexity and expense of combining multiple products, such as CICS TS 3.x, WebSphere and RAD.
Closed-Loop Governance Automation

PENNSYLVANIA GAME COMMISSION PRESS RELEASE #038-09, April 8, 2009:
HARRISBURG - This year marks the 41st anniversary of the Keystone State's spring gobbler hunting season, and the Pennsylvania Game Commission is reporting turkey hunters should expect to find exciting opportunities afield as they head out for both the youth and traditional spring season openers.
The state's one-day youth spring gobbler season is April 18; the general spring gobbler season is April 25 to May 25. Hunters who have purchased a second spring gobbler season license may harvest up to two bearded turkeys.
"For the springs of four decades, wild turkey hunters have had a chance to match wits with gobblers in the fields and forests of Pennsylvania, and to say they have taken a shine to this special season would be an understatement," explained Carl G. Roe, Game Commission executive director. "Although the season was somewhat controversial when proposed, and we started it conservatively to ensure the resource could handle it, today it is one of our most popular seasons and annually provides recreation for hundreds of thousands of people. In fact, it's hard for most of us to imagine a time when Pennsylvania didn't have a spring gobbler season, or what spring would be like if we didn't have one."
The first spring gobbler season started on a Monday and ran only six days so biologists could get a pulse on hunter success and the season's impact on the more than 60,000 wild turkeys inhabiting about half of Pennsylvania's forestland at the time. It worked! More hunters were afield on the last day of the season - a Saturday - than the opener, and hunters took a total of 1,636 turkeys in the new season.
In 2008, hunters took 40,522 bearded wild turkeys in the spring gobbler seasons (including 1,954 with second spring gobbler licenses) from an estimated statewide spring population of about 335,000. The spring wild turkey population peaked in 2001, when it numbered 410,000. So, it's fair to say the status of wild turkeys has changed dramatically over the past 40 years.

ASL Tour: Jeff Koons: A Retrospective
Friday, August 22nd at 6PM
Join us for a free tour in American Sign Language of
Jeff Koons: A Retrospective
, in ASL without voice interpretation. The tour begins at 7 pm, with a free pre-tour reception from 6–7 pm.
Jeff Koons: A Retrospective
Jeff Koons is widely regarded as one of the most important, influential, popular, and controversial artists of the postwar era. Throughout his career, he has pioneered new approaches to the readymade, tested the boundaries between advanced art and mass culture, challenged the limits of industrial fabrication, and transformed the relationship of artists to the cult of celebrity and the global market. Yet despite these achievements, Koons has never been the subject of a retrospective surveying the full scope of his career. Comprising more than 120 objects dating from 1978 to the present, this exhibition will be the most comprehensive ever devoted to the artist's groundbreaking oeuvre. By reconstituting all of his most iconic works and significant series in a chronological narrative, the retrospective will allow visitors to understand Koons's remarkably diverse output as a multifaceted whole.
Learn More: http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/JeffKoons
Admission to tour and reception is free with RSVP. ASL students are welcome to attend with student admission to the Museum. Museum staff/interpreters will not be able to sign student assignments.

Family: Pleuronectidae, Righteye Flounders view all from this family
Description The starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus) is a common flatfish found around the margins of the North Pacific.
The distinctive features of the starry flounder include the combination of black and white-to-orange bar on the dorsal and anal fins, as well as the skin covered with scales modified into tiny star-shaped plates or tubercles (thus both the common name and species epithet), resulting in a rough feel. The eyed side is black to dark brown, while the lower side is white or cream-colored. Although classed as "righteye flounders," individuals may have their eyes on either the right or left side. They have been recorded at up to 91 cm and 9 kg.
Starry flounders are inshore fish, ranging up estuaries well into the freshwater zone, to the first riffles, with young found as much as 120 km inland. In marine environments, they occur as deep as 375 m. They glide over the bottom by rippling their dorsal and anal fins, seeking out a variety of benthic invertebrates. Larvae start out consuming planktonic algae and crustaceans, then as they metamorphose they shift to larger animals.
Dimensions Up to 3' (91 cm).
Habitat Ocean or bay shallows.
Range California, Northwest, Western Canada, Alaska.

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.
Went to Burbank Target at lunch- they brought out a TAC case for me, but the Galactic Marines and one Airborne were missing. They told me that they aren't on the planogram, and that's why the 3/25 date means nothing until the planogram is updated, thus the figures went back to the stockroom. They also muttered something about a two item limit on collectibles- something I haven't heard them say in a year.
so much for those McQuarrie Fetts on kbtoys.com last week. people are reporting having received Mcstormies from them and not the Fetts.
[FONT=Tahoma]I was born at night, but not last night.[/FONT]You Shouldn't believe everything that you read.(Like my posts)
Anyway, on a gut instinct level, I'd agree with you Turbo - but I'd have to be there and ascess a situation. In my case, I can show up every day and ask the same girl to check for me and she'll pull stuff for me if they have it. There are employees I know at my regular stores that would seem to like me - or they just like to watch me open a purchase and stick my nose in the package and try to inhale a new figure. I hear them talking you know:
"Hey - that's the guy that sniffs the figures! What's he looking for? Go in the back and get that one for him if we got it. Then watch what happens. This is funny!"
Seriously, the employees are tired of seeing guys that rush in and bother them just so they can resell the toys on eBay. They love the insane, random sociopath that sniffs the figures and they do whatever they need to in order to supply him. Try snorting your new action figures in the store (open only what you're going to pay for) and see how helpful the employees become!

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
Jalen Steele and Mississippi State have caught another tough break.
Steele, a junior guard, is out for the season after suffering the second major knee injury of his career. MSU announced on Thursday that Steele tore the ACL and meniscus in his right knee, an injury he suffered the previous night against South Carolina.
"I got to start from the bottom again," Steele wrote on his Twitter account Thursday afternoon.
Steele will have surgery sometime after MSU's spring break, which begins this weekend.
Two years ago, the Knoxville native tore the ACL and meniscus in his left knee. That happened late in the season, and he was not 100 percent healthy by the time the 2011-12 season began.
He averaged 8.7 points per game and shot 39.3 percent from 3-point range as a sophomore, starting 16 of 33 games. Due to heavy offseason attrition, including the dismissal of two players, Steele was suddenly one of the more experienced Bulldogs for first-year coach Rick Ray this season.
Then he missed eight games early in the season after suffering a fractured wrist, and Steele was suspended for three games last month for a violation of team rules.
He's played in 18 games with 11 starts, averaging 10.1 points while shooting 33.9 percent from the floor, including 32.9 percent from 3-point range.
Words of support
"I feel for Jalen because he was starting to find his way in our offense and his role on our team after missing eight games with his wrist injury earlier in the season," Ray said on his Twitter page. "Jalen has been through this before and handled it like a champ, and I know that he will come back again with the same winning results."
Since returning from his suspension, Steele had come off the bench. He struggled to find his shot but was having a good game against South Carolina, scoring 17 points on 6-of-13 shooting and sparking a second-half rally.
Steele was hurt with 5 minutes, 5 seconds left in the game when his planted on his right foot, and the knee buckled.
MSU (8-21, 3-14 SEC) lost the game, 79-72. It closes out the regular season Saturday against Auburn, then will play in the SEC Tournament next week.
It's been a rough season for the Bulldogs, who had already lost three other players to season-ending injuries. MSU is again down to six available scholarship players. It's been that low before because of injuries and suspensions.
State lost 13 consecutive games, one shy of the school record, before beating rival Ole Miss on Saturday.


text: I have done the whole hunt test thing the last few years, (not so much lately) mainly because i have just lost interest in dog events, but i can't stop thinking about why this sport is so expensive and you don't win a dime at events! You pay 1500 or so for a well bred pup, for a good pro your another grand a month (if you send it to one), all the time, training equipment, time, gas, time, 75 bucks or so each to run the dog in a test or trial etc... and if your dog passes you get a hand shake, ribbon and a round of applause! Make a winner and a loser and put an incentive $$ out there, stop sugar coating it everybody doesn't need to win a trophy were not in little league wrestling anymore! Can you imagine how the sport would be if there were a earnings record on a dog and you went home from a test or trial with a few hundred or thousand back in your pocket? They do it with horses in multiple events hell even pigeon racing wins something! If you want to stop the high turnover rate in clubs after someone gets a junior or senior title then make it worth there time to take it to the next level. I don't see myself in the near future doing another dog event mainly because i look back and see how lame it was to put all that time and energy into something and the only reward is a ribbon and personal satisfaction. and for some people thats all they want and thats fine but they might as well have there neighbor huck some ducks in the field behind there house instead of financially getting bent over going to an event unless there trying to get a different ribbon color. I know i'll get some slack for this but i'm sure it's crossed your mind before.

Where I stayed
wildflower lodge
on the map it looks like such a little distance from kingston to hagley gap.. i thought maybe 20 mins.. the journey took about an hour and a half and went down roads which weren't really roads at all, well maybe they were many years ago.. but now it is total 4x4 country.
so i was dropped off in mavis bank when it was lashing with rain, the rain was so heavy the windscreen wipers were useless and we couldn't see the ten metre run i had to make to get to the cover of the bar.. my cheapskateness had also failed with the weather as i was planning on walking the last leg up to the hostel as it was a 2000 jmd drive in a land rover.. i got some local guy to drive me for 1500 and it was still canning it down with rain... i think if i attempted the walk even in cool dry weather i don't think i could have made it up there..
i was greeted warmly by noel and his wife/girlfriend/baby mother or friend (i couldn't work it out) and was shown my lonely 900 jmd a night dorm room.. the place was cold and had no electricity in the rooms but i had a great balacany which overlooked the valley down to the town of yallahs.. i was told by a friend wes, that i needed to bring food up there.. i was too lazy to follow his a advice and paid for it as i was starving hungy, i found a little shop which sold biscuits about half a mile down in penlayne castle but got stuck there for an hour whilst a thunder storm came straight over us, including a lightning strike about 10 meteres from the store which knocked out all the power to this mountaintop hamlet.
the hike started when i was woken by noel at 2am, i was ready and psyched up within a couple aof minutes and we were off follow a track by moonlight.. i had my powerfull led torch but used it for dodging puddles under canopy growth than to see the route.. Noel, my guide didn't talk much.. my couple of conversation starter questions came to zero so peacefully sat back into a easy mediational march up the slopes of blue mouintain.. I wasn't cold one bit during the hike up there until which reached the peak and sat in the grafitti covered, half demolished rat infested cabin at the top.. we beat sunrise by a good 45 minutes because of our good pace which made things even colder by having to wait around running and star jumping on the spot..
the view is beautiful, before sunrise the slopes of the mountain range are a stunning blue and the towns of kingston and yallahs sparkle like fairy lights. once the sun comes out the slopes change to green and you can see the north coast very cleary.. i got my celebratory photo and then we were off back home on a quick pace to keep myself from getting hyperthermia..
back at the hostel i stripped my cold wet clothes of and slepty like a baby for a few hours before my midday check out.. i really wanted some sun and chose ochi over kingston and made my way there to heat my bones back up to normal..
over the next few days my travels would take me back to kingston for the green synergy finals, then to negril for a couple days then to mobay before i managed to change my flight to london to miami..

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
Editor's note: This is the eighth in a 16-part series about Northeast Mississippi courthouses.
OXFORD – The first Lafayette County Courthouse didn't live very long, but its successor has been immortalized.
After 50 acres in the heart of Oxford were donated for the county seat in 1837, the resulting grid of lots were sold to pay for the construction of the courthouse, which was occupied in 1840. That structure was burned in August 1864, along with most of the buildings on the Square, by the Union forces of Gen. A.J. "Whisky" Smith. The only known photograph of the original courthouse shows its grounds occupied with Yankee tents.
According to Oxford historian Jack Lamar Mayfield, author of "Images of America: Oxford and Ole Miss," the present courthouse was built on the foundation of the original, being completed in 1870. Later, major changes to the building included a white stucco finish over its brick exterior in the 1920s or '30s and additions built onto the east and west sides in the 1950s.
Throughout the life of Oxford and Lafayette County, the courthouse square has been an anchor of the community. Paving the surrounding streets in the '20s improved its experience, as did the introduction of parking islands and one-way streets in the 1970s.
For decades the Square was also the center of commerce, offering both everyday items and luxuries – not to mention wagons and later pickups laden with fresh produce – to entice residents to shop. Many an older Oxonian can still remember the umbrella of Christmas lights that radiated from the courthouse clock tower to buildings around the Square.
Today, the hardware, grocery and five-and-dime stores have disappeared, but the Square is as busy as ever with folks patronizing its restaurants and boutiques, along with banks, law offices and the venerable Neilson's Department Store. Its vitality is proved not only by the festivals, fundraisers, parades and political rallies it hosts, but also by the city's determined efforts to address the shortage of downtown parking.
As with most judicial venues with any age on them, the Lafayette County Courthouse has been the site of human drama. One notorious incident involved William Faulkner's maternal great-grandfather, Sheriff Charles Butler, who also acted as circuit court bailiff.
"He would stand out on the balcony of the courthouse and holler out the person's name and tell them it was time for them to come to court," Mayfield said. "Samuel Thompson, the editor of the Oxford Eagle, was a notorious town drunk, and he was sitting on a curb. When Butler started hollering for someone to come to court, he started hollering back, and it made the sheriff mad.
"Butler went down to confront him and ended up shooting him," Mayfield added. "Later he was tried for it, but he got acquitted."
In "William Faulkner and Southern History," author Joel Williams noted that the killing may not have been as blatant as Thompson's widow wrote in the newspaper. Thompson was a frequent source of trouble for local law enforcers.
Trials don't often pack courtrooms these days, and many transactions of public business take place elsewhere, including online. Still, Oxford's ordinance that requires nearby buildings to be shorter than the Lafayette County Courthouse is only one of many evidences that it continues as the community's symbolic center.
William Faulkner made exactly that point when he beatified its fictional Yoknapatawpha County counterpart, in "Requiem for a Nun":
"But above all, the courthouse: the center, the focus, the hub; sitting looming in the center of the county's circumference like a single cloud in its ring of horizon, laying its vast shadow to the uttermost rim of horizon; musing, brooding, symbolic and ponderable, tall as cloud, solid as rock, dominating all: protector of the weak, judiciate and curb of the passions and lusts, repository and guardian of the aspirations and hopes."

yeah, hotrodimus looks the best, close second is either starscream or optimus... the others are meh, with megatron (totally unfortunately) bringing up the rear so bad that hot-rod is about to lap him. bumblebee looks awesome. totally on board for this series, without being a completist.
it looks like the aero-scoop on top of optimus possible turns into his gun or something? it definitely has break lines, as in definitely transforms. maybe it turns into his back, like the jetpack they sometime show him with or something.


text: Everybody hates work. You work harder and harder and have nothing to show for it and you come home and your lousy kids are looking at you with those accusing eyes and your husband is more interested in Matt Harvey's elbow than giving you a shoulder rub. If only you could worse less, you tell yourself, then everything would be great. Sadly, sociology is here to dispute that notion and inform you that working less won't make you happier. Sounds like someone's stopping at the liquor store on the way home from work! (more…)

Animal Class:
Status in the Wild:
Tigers can eat 100 pounds of meat a night. That's 400 hamburgers! Tigers need a lot of food because they go days between meals.
Tigers have white spots on the backs of their ears know as "follow me spots". These markings help tiger cubs locate their mother in the thick, green forest.
In the 1940s, Amur Tigers were on the brink of extinction, with fewer than 40 individuals surviving in the wild. Thanks to vigorous anti-poaching and conservation efforts, the population recovered and remained stable. This species isn't out of the woods yet, as poaching and loss of habitat continue to threaten them. Fewer than 400 Amur Tigers survive in the wild.

Apparently, the new wave of Target three packs has a street date of the 15th attached to them, so a lot of the area Targets aren't willing to sell them until that date. Bleurgh!!!!
I found the new Clone Wars wave with Bariss Offee in the Bellefontaine Walmart on 5/14. They had one of every figure from that wave and I picked up Bariss for my son. They had all the Dark of the Moon figures on the shelf as well.
Stir the pot.
I went back to one of the Targets that told me that they couldn't put the three-packs out until the 15th and discovered that they HAD put them out early!! Son of a Bith! Fortunately, they had one of the Hoth sets and one of the Imperial sets. I just wanted the Hoth one for the trooper variant and another Leia.
Stopped at the Brookpark Walmart* and found all of wave six there in case anyone wants it. Also stopped in at the one at Great Northern. They had Gree and Yavin ceremony Han.
Steelyard Walmart* had all of wave 6 and some of wave 5 in stock after their reset!
Also... Embo and training gear Hevy were on the pegs!
Loads of all figures from wave five and six are at several Walmarts down here.
Stir the pot.
I think that Walmart* got a new load of figures in general. Sadly, no wave three revision eleven cases. *sigh*
I know. When I saw the pegs full again I thought for sure I was going to find the newest figures.
Stir the pot.
Tragically, TARGET is getting nothing... *sigh*

Independence Day, Israel national holiday, marks Israel's Declaration of Independence with the end of the British Mandate. It is the only full holiday in the calendar decreed by law without a tradition of hundreds or thousands of years.
Independence Day is on the fifth day of the Jewish month of Iyar (from the end of April till mid-May), the day in which David Ben-Gurion, the state's first prime minister, declared the country's independence in 1948. It was declared a full holiday in a law enacted in the Knesset in 1949. Over the years various traditions evolved to celebrate the holiday, and it is now marked by family picnics in scenic spots all over the country.
Independence Day celebrations begin on the evening of the fifth of Iyar with the end of Yom Hazikaron, the Remembrance Day for the Fallen of Israel's Wars, with special ceremonies marking the transition from mourning to celebration. The main ceremony is held in Har (Mount) Herzl in Jerusalem. During Independence Day, the World Bible Quiz is held in Jerusalem and the prestigious Israel Prizes are distributed to the year's winners in a special ceremony. Most businesses are closed on Independence Day, but cafes restaurants and other places of entertainment are open because it is not a religious holiday.
Most sites in the countryside are usually packed on Independence Day, also because this is the only holiday in which both religious and secular Israeli Jews can travel. Since so many Israelis use this day to visits these sites, tourists might wish to stay inside the cities, the main streets of which are also full of people.


text: I recently downloaded a trailer of Episode 2. It looks genuine and has some really cool stuff like a door opening and there's 4 Boba Fett's behind it and a whole field of people running along with light sabers in their hands. I was wondering if anyone knows if this is the full trailer cos I've read that it's not out yet. The file is 9.27mb and goes for 2 minutes. Thanks

INTONARUMORI ORCHESTRA: Atsuhhiro Ito, Otomo Yoshihide, Sachiko M, Toshimaru Nakamura, Tetuzi Akiyam
Conceived and built in 1913 by the futurist painter Luigi Russolo as a logical extrapolation from his groundbreaking manifesto 'The art of noises', the intonarumori was a family of 12 mechanical instruments that could produce different kinds of controllable noise: the howler, the roarer, the crackler, the rubber, the hummer, the gurgler, the hisser, the whistler, the burster, the croaker and the rustler. There are no surviving plans, and no surviving instruments (all were destroyed in WW2). The current replica instruments - made in 1986 for a project in Tama Art University, Japan - comprise 6 of these, seemingly built without the glissando faculty of the originals, but still offering a very interesting array of unidentifiable acoustic rather than electronic, sounds. At least one can begin to imagine what these extraordinary instruments might have done. The 6 compositions here - one by each of the participants - explore some of these possibilities. Atsuhiru Ito and Otomo Yoshihide's, also the most complex and noisy, seem to me to be the most successful. Very skimpy notes accompany the CD, but it's an interesting and unusual project.

Q. FTP is insecure, how do I securely copy files across a network computer? My network has Windows and Linux systems.
A. You need to use Openssh client and server technology to copy between two more network computers. You can also find free ssh client tools. scp copies files between hosts on a network. It uses ssh for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security as ssh.
Copy from Linux to Linux/UNIX system
Copy file called data.txt to ras.nixcraft.in Linux system (vivek is username):
$ scp data.txt [email protected]:/home/vivek
Copy more than two files:
$ scp data.txt pic.jpg [email protected]:/home/vivek
Copy /data directory and all files inside /data i.e. recursively copy entire directories:
$ scp -r /data [email protected]:/home/vivek
Copy from Windows to Linux/UNIX system
You can download any one of the following free Windows SCP client
Just install above client and follow on screen instructions.

Damn!it's getting like????? no, it has always been like!
dude let me ask how your lessons went today? you are obviously home schooling your children, right? you couldn't possibly be proud of them if you didn't educate them entirely by yourself, right?
how about your home, are you proud of it? a guy like you must have dug its footings by hand, laid the foundation and dorve every nail, right? you couldn't be proud of it if you didn't, right?
the shotgun you hunt with must be a forged damascus double from your own forge and blacksmith shop, right? the stock is one you hand carved from the burled stump of the old walnut tree you planted with your grand dad when you were just a boy. it blew down in the storm of 2006 and was air dried in your barn loft until you judged it suitable, right? you couldn't possibly be proud of it otherwise, right?
the mounted pintail you shot with the federal band in 2,011 looks great on your man cave wall. there is such a great reward in doing your own taxidermy, right?
just sayin', no matter what parts of your life you choose to do or choose not do for yourself, someone does these things themselves and can't understand why you do it differently.
i had a wonderful homegrown tomato sandwich for lunch today......it could not have been tastier even if i woulda grown the tomatos myself?
backwater, if you can put a nice portfolio together for yourself, i will bring cigars for the both of us. they will be hand rolled with the tender hands and upon the gentle thighs of a young, exotic cuban maiden. unless you'd rather i roll them up on my own hairy, sweaty legs!!!! lol
That was pure poetry!

'After Sept. 11' exhibition planned at Bernstein Gallery, Sept. 9-Dec. 1
Posted August 29, 2002; 04:18 p.m.
"After Sept. 11," an exhibition that explores how the work of 12 regional artists has been influenced by the tragic events of one year ago, will open Monday, Sept. 9, at the newly renovated Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs' Bernstein Gallery on the lower level of Robertson Hall .
The public is invited to an opening reception from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13. The exhibition runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays through Dec. 1.
Robertson, including the gallery space, has been undergoing significant renovations over the past year. The Bernstein Gallery originally was dedicated in 1990 as a memorial to former Woodrow Wilson School Dean Marver Bernstein and his wife, Sheva.
It is intended as a showcase for art reflecting the mission of the Woodrow Wilson School. "At the Woodrow Wilson School, we encourage our students to take an interdisciplinary approach to solving public policy problems," said Associate Dean Karen Jezierny, who has spearheaded the effort to make the gallery a place where art and public policy coexist. "Incorporating the visual arts into the students' academic experience serves to further broaden their outlook."
More information about the exhibit is available here.

Reed–Solomon error correction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaReed–Solomon error correction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "In coding theory, Reed–Solomon (RS) codes are non-binary[1] cyclic error-correcting codes invented by Irving S. Reed and Gustave Solomon. They described a systematic way of building codes that could detect and correct multiple random symbol errors. By adding t check symbols to the data, an RS code can detect any combination of up to t erroneous symbols, or correct up to ⌊t/2⌋ symbols. As an erasure code, it can correct up to t known erasures, or it can detect and correct combinations of errors and erasures. Furthermore, RS codes are suitable as multiple-burst bit-error correcting codes, since a sequence of b + 1 consecutive bit errors can affect at most two symbols of size b.[2] The choice of t is up to the designer of the code, and may be selected within wide limits."

Hyperparathyroidism is caused by factors that increase the production of parathyroid hormone.
The parathyroid glands maintain proper levels of both calcium and phosphorus in your body by turning the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) off or on, much like a thermostat controls a heating system to maintain a constant air temperature. Vitamin D also is involved in regulating the amount of calcium in your blood.
Normally, this balancing act works well. When calcium levels in your blood fall too low, your parathyroid glands secrete enough PTH to restore the balance. PTH raises calcium levels by releasing calcium from your bones and increasing the amount of calcium absorbed from your small intestine.
When blood-calcium levels are too high, the parathyroid glands produce less PTH. But sometimes one or more of these glands produce too much hormone, leading to abnormally high levels of calcium (hypercalcemia) and low levels of phosphorus in your blood.
The mineral calcium is best known for its role in keeping your teeth and bones healthy. But calcium has other functions. It aids in the transmission of signals in nerve cells, and it's involved in muscle contraction. Phosphorus, another mineral, works in conjunction with calcium in these areas.
The disorder can generally be divided into two types based on the cause. Hyperparathyroidism may occur because of a problem with the parathyroid glands themselves (primary hyperparathyroidism) or because of another disease that affects the glands' function (secondary hyperparathyroidism).
Primary hyperparathyroidism occurs because of some problem with one or more of the four parathyroid glands:
Primary hyperparathyroidism usually occurs randomly, but some people inherit a gene that causes the disorder.
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is the result of another condition that lowers calcium levels. Therefore, your parathyroid glands overwork to compensate for the loss of calcium. Factors that may contribute to secondary hyperparathyroidism include:
Severe vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D helps maintain appropriate levels of calcium in the blood, and it helps your digestive system absorb calcium from your food.
Your body produces vitamin D when your skin is exposed to sunlight, and you consume some vitamin D in food. If you don't get enough vitamin D, then calcium levels may drop.
