But this isn't just a small indie team, and their forum will probably be littered.
That's kind of the point.
Look - it's really not my problem how you (or anyone else) chose to spend their money. Just be aware that the only thing the $400 buys is a fancy title and access to the private cheerleading section of their game forums. This is not a small indie team - that makes them very unlikely to be interested in the opinions of random internet people. Even if they were, it would be the dumbest focus group strategy ever to limit input to a group of people who've spent a significant sum of money (i.e., people already guaranteed to be positive to whatever Garriot creates). Though perhaps that is how the developers think (cf. Treleaven's quote above), in which case the project is sure to crash and burn. Working within an echo chamber is never a good idea.
To get back to the OP, I'm not quite sure what you hope to gain by this. It is your dream to become a developer; what makes you think this will help?
You don't want something like this on your CV: a prospective interviewer would ROFL, before binning the application. You are not going to get any development experience. You are not going to get any design experience (unlike Jon Shafer's recent KS project, there is not even the promise of getting a sneakpeak at their design docs). There is - as far as I can tell - nothing here that helps you along the path to being a gamedev. The only reason to spend that kind of money that I can see, is if one is an Ultima fan(atic).
If you want to pursue that dream, you have to keep in mind the golden rule: finishing is all that matters.
Go and build something - even if it is just to mod an existing game. Having something - anything - to show that you have had a significant hand in building and completing, is infinitely more useful on your CV than listing games on which you are a beta tester. Build a game (something small) - and you will learn a lot more about what it takes to be a game developer than you will ever learn from a thousand forum posts by Garriot.
Incidentally, the Jon Shafer mentioned above started out modding Civilization III and ended up as lead designer and developer on Civilization V).

The above example of going from a bad rack to a bingo is an example of fortuitous timing in drawing that i simply do not do that is reflected in my spread. Dave Wiegand, for example, draws EXTERMELY well . i can't even look at his Bing Report CUZ it HURT to see HOW lucky he sometime is. i blew snot out my nose when once i saw him comment that keepin 4 vowels n a consonant woulda worked fine on another day--it juss didn't work THAT time (he draw so good, he EXPECT to draw well rather den HOPE).

Focus on Funds
Stock Rally Skips Emerging Markets ETF Investors
So far, 2013 has been kind to U.S. equity investors, but emerging markets investments have not enjoyed similar success.
On the heels of a report showing hedge funds focusing on emerging markets were in the red last month (as well as trailing developed markets year-to-date, after outperforming in 2012), MarketWatch details today that emerging market ETF investors are also feeling the pain.
As the article notes, the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (EEM) has fallen nearly 2% since the start of 2013, a period in which the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) rose 9% and 8%, respectively.
Last month, EEM's outflows totaled $619 million, one of the largest in the industry. As my colleague Ben Levisohn wrote earlier this week, for the first time since mid-2012 there are more emerging market bears than bulls, as worries abound about growth in major markets from China to Brazil.

The Charleston Wine + Food Festival is synonymous with decadence, but the Festival board outdid even themselves with last night's Ultimate Critics dinner on Fort Sumter. The first formal dinner ever to be hosted in all of Fort Sumter history, this soiree was truly a ground-breaking event that featured six of the area's finest chefs, as selected by the critics.
Despite the threatening thunderstorms earlier in the day, the evening kicked off with gorgeous, sunny weather. Guests, like their chefs, servers, flatware, and every morsel food and drink, were shuttled to and from the fort via a Spirit Line Cruise ship, The Spirit of the Lowcountry.
Ladies and gentlemen in pre-civil war attire welcomed diners at the Fort Sumter Museum and escorted them on deck, where each guest received a warm welcome, an antelope sausage hors d'oeuvre from Circa 1886 Chef Marc Collins, and a Beauregard sweet tea bourbon cocktail.
The Spirit of the Lowcountry left port carrying some of the most excited foodies Charleston has seen, and the gourmands happily chattered about the evening's festivities and next year's festival, but always with one eye out for seconds of Chef Marc Collins' salmon jerky or onion custard tarts with black truffles.
The evening's host, Mickey Bakst of the Charleston Grill, introduced Charleston Wine + Food Festival executive director Angel Postell, who issued a heartfelt official welcome as the ship docked.
Fort Sumter had been transformed into an oasis of fine dining in the middle of the stunning blue of the Charleston Harbor. Each partygoer gave a gasp of delight as they were ushered through the dining area on the fort lawn and up to the top of the embankment, where servers darted through the crowd with glasses of sparkling wine and trays of Chef Mike Lata's creation, pickled brown shrimp with vermillion snapper roe and heirloom peppers.
"Can you believe this?" gasped a fellow diner, peering over the edge of the fort. "I swear this is a dream!" The evening was nothing if not a welcome vacation from the daily grind, a luxurious adventure for the senses. The cocktail hour flew by, and everyone made their way to beautifully set tables showcasing cornbread, Sally Lunn bread, and beaten biscuits.
The lawn was abuzz with anticipation as guests studied the menu and the first of McCrady's sommelier Clint Sloan's selections was poured out. The menu was crafted with the location and historic significance of the fete in mind, and each dish was a contemporary take on pre-civil war Lowcountry cuisine.
Chef Jacques Larson kicked off the first of four courses with an exquisite dish of Carolina rabbit with barley, Mepkin Abbey Mushrooms, balsamic and black truffles. Every plate was perfectly picked clean, and foodies gathered outside the fort to view an incredible sunset as the second wine pairing was poured. Then it was back to the tables for Chef Sean Brock's flounder head to tail with summer vegetables, hardtack, and salt pork.
"What's hardtack? Does anyone know?" a diner asked, digging in. Not everyone could identify the ingredients of hardtack, but there wasn't a crumb left as the meal transitioned into the third course.
Chef Ken Vedrinski served up an absolutely incredible array of flavors with his lightly cured and smoked grilled deckle of Kobe beef with warm lobster, peanut potato salad, and Barolo vinaigrette, and it was followed up with a delicious sorghum trifle with fig preserves, and chocolate from Chef Emily Cookson.
The chefs received a standing ovation for what can only be described as a perfect, magical evening of the finest in Lowcountry cuisine, and guests reluctantly made their way back to The Spirit of the Lowcountry... with a Mary Boykin Chestnut Madiera cocktail in hand, of course.
The evening gracefully drew to a close, and each satisfied partygoer received a parting gift of jerky and Jimbo's boiled peanuts as they stepped ashore.
Now in its seventh year, the Charleston Wine + Food Festival works to enhance Charleston's culinary reputation as well as supporting local charitable endeavors. The Ultimate Critics Dinner benefited the Charleston Wine + Food Festival Trust and the Charleston Wine + Food Festival's signature charities.

Medicine Bow Peak climb 2013
We believe our Graduate Students are an important asset to our department. Since we are a master's only program, our focus is on teaching applied skills that students can use for entering the workforce or for more advanced studies. In both of these scenarios, teamwork is essential. This means that learning from and working with peers and professors in a variety of settings is a critical part of graduate student training.
To help foster cohesiveness within our program, and have a little fun, we start every academic year with a climb of the highest peak in the Snowy Range: Medicine Bow Peak (12,000ft/3,871m). Graduate students who are able are encouraged to attend. It is a great opportunity to meet peers and professors in a non-academic setting – an introduction with a panoramic view.
The climb is not as grueling as it sounds. It starts at 10,800ft (3,480m), but only covers four miles (6.4km) round-trip. Each year we have people who come from sea level successfully complete the hike. In the afternoon after the hike, we have a welcome barbeque. Good food and camaraderie flow freely.

Chemical pneumonitis is inflammation of the lungs or breathing difficulty due to inhaling chemical fumes or breathing in and choking on certain chemicals.
Many household and industrial chemicals are capable of producing both an
Some of the most common dangerous, inhaled substances include:
Chronic chemical pneumonitis can occur after only low levels of exposure to the irritant over extended periods of time. This causes inflammation and may lead to stiffness of the lungs, which decreases the ability of the lungs to get oxygen to the body. Unchecked, this condition may ultimately lead to respiratory failure and death.
Chronic aspiration of acid from the stomach and exposure to chemical warfare can also lead to chemical pneumonitis.
The following tests help determine how severely the lungs are affected:
Treatment is focused on reversing the cause of inflammation and reducing symptoms. Corticosteroids may be given to reduce inflammation, especially before long-term scarring occurs.
Antibiotics are usually not helpful or needed. Oxygen therapy may be helpful.
In cases of swallowing and stomach problems, eating small meals in the upright position can help.
The outcome depends on the chemical agent involved, the severity of exposure, and whether the problem is acute or chronic.
Respiratory failure and death can occur.
Call your health care provider if you have trouble breathing after inhaling (or possibly inhaling) any substance.
Household chemicals should be used only as directed and always in well-ventilated areas. Never mix ammonia and bleach together.
Work rules regarding breathing masks should be followed and the appropriate breathing mask should be worn. People who work near fire should take care to limit exposure to smoke or gases.
Be careful about giving mineral oil to anyone who might choke on it (children or the elderly).
Don't siphon gas or kerosene.

Democrats' voter reg app is not open source.
Via Chris Blow (@unthinkingly) and his tweet on the subject, I found out that the US Democrat party has released a voter registration app via github. Wired's all over it, calling it — as the app's README does — an open source app. Only it's not.
The LICENSE file contains the following text:
This permission does not include: (a) any use of the Software other than for its intended purpose
Its intended purpose is to enable voter registration. As commenters on Hacker News have pointed out, this means that although the app is a pretty good framework for a PDF-generating web app, you can't use it as the basis for your own app for any other purpose. Not for generating dog-license applications, say, or for generating voter reg applications in another country. This means it's not open source nor free software. The Free Software Foundation's description of software freedom says:
A program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms:
The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
(And another three, of course, but the freedom to run the software for any purpose is the most fundamental.)
The Open Source Initiative's Open Source Definition says:
6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.
The Democrats' code is restricted from use in any field of endeavour other than registering voters in the United States of America. The app is not open source. As further demonstration of this, their license does not appear anywhere on the OSI's list of open source licenses.
The Democrats need to amend either their license or their README. Or, of course, we could simply fork the repo, fix it, and issue a pull request. Wired, meanwhile, really ought to issue a correction to their article, and stop spreading this misinformation.

2011 Cy Young Predictions, Rookies too
Posted on 26 Mar 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
As it appears this final week of Spring Training, the Cy Young races will eventually prove that the 2010 voting was more accurate than most realize. Historically, Cy Young voting has been predicated on a very simple set of stats – wins, tempered with ERA and IP. In 2010 Felix Hernandez won the Cy Young Award for a last place team – which has happened only a couple times in history (...

Elegance Pageants: Should You Allow your Teen Get into These people?
Splendor Pageants: Inside event you Allow your Teen Enter in These?
Currently the father or mother of a young adult, namely a lady teenager? In case you are, features your teen ever before mentioned stepping into a splendor pageant previous to? If the woman recently offers, do you have given your ex a decision yet? For several mother and father, their very first though is usually "no way, " but you must know that beauty pageants are all and not as bad because they appear to be.
In terms of deciding whether or not you need to allow your teen enter in a beauty contest or possibly a volume of all of them, you need to know that there is several advantages and disadvantages to doing this. One of those advantages or plus isn't stable is because it truly is something your adolescent wants to accomplish. In case your teenager is the individual who mentioned a attractiveness pageant then we have a great chance that it must be an issue that interests them.
Just one more of those unfortunate advantages or plus isn't stable to allowing she or he enter some sort of beauty pageant or even a number of them is because of the rewards. What exactly is nice concerning beauty pageants is that you seldom just get a new trophy or possibly a bow, nevertheless, you also get a money prize incentive. Rather then money, some attractiveness pageants even produce scholarship grants. If your child is interested in making their own cash or when interested in about to school, a attractiveness pageant could possibly be capable of help them achieve their particular desired goals.
While in st. kitts certainly are a quantity of pros to be able to letting your teen go into attractiveness pageants, there are Keyword Swarm Review many disadvantages or downsides for you to doing so as well. Some of those negative aspects is the work that goes directly into attending beauty pageants. At this point, should your teen ended up being only serious about competing in a very local contest, this may not be because big of your issue in your case. Nevertheless , you can find beauty contest families on the market who actually spend time travelling country wide participating in attractiveness pageants. Although you and your teen can do this if you wish, it often places lots of stress, both over emotional and monetary, on all loved ones.
One more in the cons or downsides to letting your teen for you to participate in some sort of beauty pageant may be the benefits.

Probably, this is due partly for the fashion market and many magnificence pageant all judges. Although your teen can be involved in a splendor pageant if the woman wishes to, regardless of her appearance is actually, it is something which you might like to take into account.

In keeping with competition, she or he might find it quite difficult to jump right into beauty pageants. A multitude of typically the teens who get involved in beauty contest have done consequently since they were a toddler or maybe elementary school long-standing. Without the benefit of generally, these contributors are often very likely to view success than one of those who recently chosen to enter a beauty pageant. Naturally , that doesn't mean that she or he can't put high or perhaps win a new beauty contest, however it does show that they can possess a lot of efforts ahead of these individuals.

I think we need to somehow make the UGC (University Grants Commission) as an autonomous body. Universities should be provided with better manpower as well.
Q: Are there major differences in India and the West in the way research is carried out?
The level of professionalism and commitment in the West is very high and the systematic problems are very few. Over there, people don't feel that they are doing a lowly job. Whatever they do, they are happy doing it. This is where we need to be professionals. We need to inculcate this in our research as well.
Secondly, it is important to have brighter people around you. In the West, there is a sense of encouragement if another person does better than you. We need to create competence among people. It all boils down to getting the right and bright people, and get them motivated.
Q: Do you think policy-makers can play a key role here?
Right now, there is a huge energy crisis. If we do not have our own solutions and develop technologies, we will have to start importing them. If we do not invest in science, we will have no options in the future, and we will become irrelevant to the world.
Today, it is up to the political parties and systems to understand this. There are short-term and long-term solutions. We need to learn to evaluate every decade. Often very soon we tend to say that we can't do this or that.

Lisa has been writing since she could first form sentences and transfer them to paper with crayon. Born soft-spoken into a big, boisterous family where only he who speaks loudest is heard, she learned early to express herself through the written word.
Her first books revolved around the antics of the family dog until she discovered Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. Then writing mysteries became second nature for the author who arrived in the world on a dark, stormy Halloween night. When she was 11, the local paper interviewed her for a book she had written involving a kidnapping plot.
During the day Lisa is a part-time insurance agent and full-time wife and mother. She has two beautiful daughters who share her love of the written word and a husband who provides loving support with praise and extra housecleaning duty.
When night falls and fog from their 15-acre swamp wraps around their house, Lisa becomes the focused writer, spinning stories she hopes her readers will enjoy.

The Asia-Pacific Development Journal (APDJ) is published twice a year by the Macroeconomic Policy and Development Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
The primary objective of the APDJ is to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge, experience, ideas, information and data on all aspects of economic and social development issues and concerns facing the region and to stimulate policy debate and assist in the formulation of policy.
Space applications encompass many different space based technologies, tools and techniques. These can range from the use of Earth Observation (EO) satellites for obtaining satellite imagery, Geospatial Information (GI) or integrated location based data along with socio-economic data, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as positioning systems, Remote Sensing (RS) and imagery analysis, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) for aerial photography etc. This paper will discuss ways to improve disaster management through the use of space applications.
The analysis revealed that the region is greatly reliant upon trans‐border terrestrial fiber optic connectivity, which places it at a distinct competitive disadvantage relative to coastal markets, which benefit from submarine fiber optic cable systems offering higher capacity, greater cost effectiveness, and more extensive reach than the region's existing terrestrial connectivity. With the exception of the Russian Federation, none of the countries in this study have oceanic coastlines.
Since the 1970s in particular, the countries of Western Asia and those of the Asia-Pacific region have been closely linked to each other through highly extensive movements of people. Opportunities created by the rapid development of the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), but also other countries in the ESCWA region, have attracted a large number labour migrants from the Asia-Pacific region.
The principal aim of this publication is to analyze the current status of paperless trade implementation in the region and assess a practical approach to the facilitation of cross-border paperless trade in the Asia-Pacific region, as this will contribute to regional connectivity. With world-leading paperless trade systems already in place in several countries of Asia and the Pacific, including a few cases of successful cross-border paperless trade data exchange, the region is fast moving towards a paperless trade environment.
This paper examines how freedom of transit and transit facilitation are addressed in trade and transport (as well as transit-specific) agreements in the ESCAP region. The objective is to identify good practices and understand the extent to which existing agreements meet the transit facilitation provisions set out in the draft text of the WTO trade facilitation agreement (TFA).
Labour migration in the Asia-Pacific is dynamic and growing. Variable economic growth, deepening regional integration, and growing disparities in wealth, both within and among countries, have created strong incentives for workers to relocate across borders. Patterns of migration are also becoming more complex: the traditional concept of labour migration as being from 'South' to 'North' is no longer accurate to capture the nuanced patterns of flows across the Asia-Pacific.
Several countries in Asia and the Pacific have launched high-level policy initiatives and action plans to promote green growth, and the green economy. As a consequence the demand for indicators of economic growth that supports, rather than detracts from, sustainable development, is growing. Green growth indicator frameworks developed by international organisations and partnerships of organisations share a focus on a few key dimensions.
Conventional growth strategies have reduced poverty. People now have more access to basic services and more opportunities for mobility and participation. But there are still persistent unmet needs, widening inequalities, and new development challenges such as climate change, intensifying natural disaster and resource depletion. There is a search for growth strategies that better fit a changing economic, social and environmental reality.
Energy poverty- lack of access to electricity and reliance on traditional fuels for cooking and heating - remains an enduring problem. Globally, more than a billion people live without electricity and, nearly three billion depend entirely on wood, charcoal and dung for other domestic energy needs. Their search for energy fuels and services is an arduous, daily grind. Lack of access to modern energy has a broad impact.

Beta-Carotene is an orange pigment that gives certain fruits and vegetables their vivid color. For example, carrots, pumpkin and sweet potatoes are some of the best sources of natural Beta-Carotene. Other natural food sources of Beta-Carotene are papayas, mangoes, cantaloupe, yams, apricots, tomatoes, spinach, kale and collard greens. Spinach and other greens don't have an orange color like most Beta-Carotene fruits and vegetables because they also have a high concentration of chlorophyll.
Beta-Carotene belongs to a class of compounds called carotenoids. Carotenoids are known for their antioxidant properties. A certain portion of Beta-Carotene is converted by the body to vitamin A, a vitamin important for tissue growth and repair and for healthy vision. The portion of Beta-Carotene that isn't converted to vitamin A functions as an antioxidant, a compound that helps to protect cells against oxidative damage. Studies show that oral Beta-Carotenes slow down the progression of macular degeneration, a common cause of adult blindness and may protect brain cells from oxidative stress that can lead to Alzheimer's disease.
Beta-Carotene is used in the field of dermatology to treat skin diseases made worse by exposure to ultraviolet light, such as solar urticaria, erythropoetic protoporphyria, and lupus, and to treat phototoxic drug reactions. Beta-Carotene is also an ingredient in some skin care products and cosmetics including skin cleansers, facial moisturizers, foundation, sun products, bath products, hair care products and anti-aging treatments. In anti-aging products, Beta-Carotene provides protection against sun damage and helps to even out skin tone and improve skin texture. Research suggests that Beta-Carotene as an oral supplement protects against oxidative damage due to exposure to sunlight but doesn't appear to reduce the risk of skin cancer.
Another way Beta-Carotene can improve the appearance of skin is by lightening areas of increased skin pigmentation. One study showed that topical Beta-Carotene is an effective treatment for melasma, a skin condition marked by blotchy areas of increased brown or dark-brown pigmentation. Melasma is most common on areas of skin that receive the most sun exposure, usually the cheeks, forehead, nose and chin and is more common in women. Hormonal changes play a role since melasma is more frequent in women who are pregnant or taking oral contraceptives.
Because of Beta-Carotene's distinct orange color, it's used in some cosmetic and skin products as a coloring agent. In sun tanning products, the orange pigment gives a sun-kissed glow to the skin without tanning. It has the added benefit of offering additional sun protection when combined with other sunscreen ingredients. Beta-Carotene is also used to add color to some cosmetics like eye shadow, lipstick and blush. Manufacturers of natural" cosmetics often use Beta-Carotene to replace synthetic coloring agents. This orange coloration can pose a challenge to cosmetic makers that want the benefits of Beta-Carotene but don't want their skin care products to have an orange hue.
Is it safe? Topical Beta-Carotene appears to be safe in the quantities found in skin care products and cosmetics. The Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database classifies it as a low hazard cosmetic ingredient. The FDA classifies it as ""generally recognized as safe."" There are some concerns about taking Beta-Carotene as an oral supplement after one study showed that smokers who took it had a higher risk of developing lung cancer

It's fascinating to watch what people put themselves through to insulate themselves from what they put themselves through through other people. Got that? Gina Gionfriddo's Becky Shaw is a sadly hilarious examination of one neurotic case that makes the syndrome a little clearer and a lot funnier than it is in the abstract. A fine 2nd Story Theatre rendition, directed by Ed Shea, is on the boards through February 6.
We get a glimmer of what's in store at the opening, when Max (Ara Boghigian) asks Suzanna (Rachel Morris) which of the Nightmare on Elm Street series has come up in her hotel channel surfing. Not only does she instantly know it's 3, but she pipes up with Freddy's next line. This apparently is a modern young woman accustomed to coping with the grim reality of life by acclimatizing herself to its extremes. Her father has just died and she doesn't want to see her mother Susan (Paula Faber), as psychologically fraught a prospect as Freddy. (The mother is here mainly as a bad example of womanhood, stuck on a victimizing boyfriend. She maintains that careful duplicity is the secret of a satisfying relationship.)
Max isn't Suzanna's boyfriend, he is virtually her brother, taken in by her father as a boy. Of course, since this is a romantic comedy, there is enough sexual tension in the situation to lead to more than brotherly advice.
Flash forward a year, to an apartment in Providence, and Suzanna is married to Andrew (Tim White), an unpublished writer but a patient mate. He's used to her displacing unresolved daddy issues onto him, despite her working on a graduate degree in psychology. Max doesn't take him seriously. (Pornography makes Andrew cry, which leaves Max dumbstruck.)
The playwright has fun with such references to Brown, where she learned her craft. When Suzanna mentions that there is a student drive to send books to Iraq, Max points out that the last thing IED-avoiding soldiers want is "a fucking underlined copy of To the Lighthouse."
Despite the title, this is largely, perhaps predominantly, Max's play, both because of Gionfriddo's fascination with the complex character and Boghigian's compelling, thoroughly internalized understanding of such a man, veering him away from blatant arrogance. Max makes good money as a financial advisor, and he gives a full 10 percent of his income to social concerns he can't personally do anything about and wants to relegate to the periphery of his attention. It's not that he's insensitive, he's efficient, fine-tuned to be just sensitive enough.
That's where Becky (Hillary Parker) comes in, a blind date set up for Max by Suzanna and Andrew. She might very well have blinded him with the hooker garb she shows up in, a bit of costume miscasting that makes her seem stupid rather than just overdressed. It's not that she's not smart (a Brown dropout), she's just incessantly unsure of herself, the polar opposite of Max. When they are mugged on their first date, he brushes off the incident and doesn't even admit he was terrified — or even, more importantly, that there was an uncomfortable psychological residue. He can't even accept that it was required, to retain his decent-person membership card, to return Becky's calls for comfort after the incident.

I am continuing my 3 3/4" vehicle thread series.
This will discuss ONLY the vehicle in the title of the thread (in this case The Hoth Echo Base Ice Laser Drill from ESB).
I will cover several unmade vehicles for the action figures per week, choosing them from a rotating schedule through the movies and the Expanded Universe.
I'll order it TPM, AOTC, ROTS, ANH, ESB, ROTJ, EU, and then keep going back through the order in that manner.
So here I'm only asking you if you'd buy The Hoth Echo Base Ice Laser Drill?
This vehicle is only noticed on the edge of the first scene I'm displaying a picture of below. I never noticed it in 30 years but JediTricks pointed it out to me when I was looking for the Hoth Echo Base Personnel Carrier.
This drill was never used by Luke Skywalker in a cut scene that I'm aware of - I think the picture on the right (below) was made for a publicity shot.
It could go in a battle pack with perhaps a pilot like Wedge or Hobbie in Hoth Pilot gear and an astromech or Hoth Gonk Droid.
I don't think this vehicle would be deployed as a weapon at all, but is rather more like a construction tool.
Do you want this made?
How do you think it would sell if produced, at each price point ($15 or $24)?

I recently purchased new trekking poles, and being me, I did a lot more homework on the purchase than most folks looking for camping gear. I have been looking for some time (since we got back from Philmont in 2012) for new trekking poles as I bent one of my trekking poles while at Philmont. They are still usable, but collapsing them is hard now and since I have had that set for about 10 years, I figured it was time to replace them.
I looked at no less than 50 different styles, brands, and types over the past 9 months or so and finally found a pair that I really like and thought I would give them a shot.
First you may ask, what the heck took you so long? Great question. Like I said, I over researched them. When looking at good high-end trekking poles, I knew that I would be committing at least $100 to the purchase. But since I also knew that the poles I buy needed to last, after all I use trekking poles all year round and on every hike, backpacking trip and camp out, I became real picky in the choice.
What I ended up getting is the MSR SureLock ™ UL-2 Ultralight 2 section Poles. They retail for $90, but with a Boy Scout discount and finding them on sale at a local outfitter, I paid $62.
So here are the specs:
According the packaging the SureLock ™ UL-2 trekking poles weigh in at 16.5 oz or 468 grams. As these are MSRs "ultralight" trekking poles, I am sure that they put the heavy end on the packaging. On my scale with the winter or snow baskets on the poles, both of them weigh in at 15 oz. The trekking poles with the summer baskets weigh in at 14.5 oz. The length of the poles are as advertised. At its lowest setting the trekking poles are 41 inches long or 105 cm. They extend to 55 inches or 140 cm. Fully collapsed the trekking poles are 31 inches. There are 8 adjustable holes along the trekking pole to find the right setting for you. I personally set them at 120 cm.
Here is what I like compared to my last poles, which for the record are the Black Diamond Trail Trekking poles. The MSR SureLock ™ poles are 2 section poles, the Black Diamond poles I have are 3 section. This makes the MSR poles faster and easier to set up. I really like that.
I LOVE the Positive Locking system on the SureLock ™. The rolling bearing pins smoothly lock into place and once seated are not going anywhere. I configured the trekking poles to my height and leaned over them with my entire upper body weight, they did not flex or pop out. With your standard cam lock or twist friction locks over the course of a hike I always had to readjust due to slippage.
The poles have a unique design in that they are not round. This design is called Non Rotating tri-lobe geometry, this assists with the poles not being able to rotate. This keeps the Positive locking system in place.
The trekking poles are made of 7000 series aluminum. This is super light and very strong.
I am very happy with these trekking poles. They are comfortable, light, strong, and easy to use. I can not wait to get them out on the trail. I will shoot some video of the poles in action as soon as I can get them out.
In the mean time, I thought it would be nice to include in this post the promotional video put out by MSR on the Trekking poles so you can see them and get a better picture of what I am talking about.
As a set of poles that I have over researched and now purchased, this review as a first look leads me to be very impressed with the MSR SureLock ™ UL-2 Trekking poles.
Stay tuned for more on these Trekking poles.
Do you use trekking Poles?
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Please post your VOTE for up to 4 {four} of the questions provided in this thread, letting us know which ones you most want to see asked on October 29th. Keep in mind that your votes in round 87 do not count in this round, so if your question is still on the list you may want to vote for it again.
Also, feel free to post new questions. For reference, here are Hasbro's answers to previous SSG questions; and from other sites. The questions we asked last round can be found here.
Current questions (vote for up to 4):
- - With the 2008 Medical Frigate Luke figure, the figure almost fits the bill for Echo Base recovery scene Luke, if not for the open mechanical arm, and the different likeness with scars and Hoth hairstyle. That scene also has another character whose figure is in dire need of updating: 2-1B, who hasn't seen a new figure design in over a decade. With a Recovery Luke figure, it'd just be a new head required (the body and undamaged forearm tooling already exists from the VOTC figure) so you could also include the mask he wore in that scene's less-infamous cut footage (we're not asking you to make kissing Luke & Leia, you'll have to decide if you're twisted enough to go there ;-) ). So, any chances of knocking the Echo Base Recovery scene out of the park by making new 2-1B and Luke recovery figures?
- - The initial Force Unleashed figures were released well before the actual game, and many of the cooler figures sold quickly and were hard to find by the time the game was released. Of the major characters, the Jumptrooper, Evo Trooper, Vader, and Galen Marek have seen a few re-releases, while Juno Eclipse (sadly) still languishes on store shelves in many areas. One figure that was never re-released though is Rahm Kota, who was one of the first figures to vanish upon the initial release, and has since appeared in other Star Wars media, including a different video game. Given that he is likely to appear in a major role in The Force Unleashed II later this year and the 2 exclusive TFU 5-packs were released in May, are there any chances Kota might be re-released as a Greatest Hits figure, or perhaps even updated with a new, more actor-accurate and 'blinded' head sculpt, as well as a deactivated saber hilt for his shoulder scabbard?
- - Force FX has entered a new phase with the removable blade series, and so far we've seen the first couple waves. Thanks to Clone Wars, female characters are back on the rise in Star Wars and bringing in more female collectors - Ahsoka especially has been selling very well. What does the future of Force FX look like? What are the chances of Ahsoka's lightsaber being added to the Force FX line, better opening that market up to female consumers and getting Clone Wars main character recognizability?
- - In the upcoming Battle Over Endor multipacks, you've included a figure of Lt. Yong, the Y-wing pilot from ROTJ that flies (and dies) under the handle Gray 3, but the torso used on the figure is the existing B-wing pilot design rather than a Y-wing pilot torso. On the ROTJ Y-wing pilot costume, the collar is different and the chest box and apron are more like the POTF2 Lt. Yong figure (at the time he was misidentified as Arvel Crynyd, but it was Yong's helmet, face, and Y-wing pilot torso and apron just in the wrong color - red instead of gray). Is this new Lt. Yong using the B-wing pilot torso a mistake, or just a cost-saving measure? In either case, if there are future ROTJ Y-wing pilot figures down the line, will we get a new movie-accurate torso for them with the unique costume chest box and apron, and closed collar?
- - You have this nice new Qui-Gon Jinn figure that came out in the Jedi Evolution set, and has been re-released in the nifty Eopie mail-away set, yet both times the figure has been marred by including the blobby 1999 lightsaber accessory. Luke Jedi keeps coming out with either repaints of the ROTS Obi-Wan's lightsabers (which has different details), or worse, the blobby Obi-Wan POTJ saber from 2000. Both the '99 Qui-Gon and '00 Obi-Wan as Luke Jedi sabers also have the old smooth blade design without the flare on top of their soft hilt sculpting, and both Qui-Gon and Luke Jedi actually had better saber accessories designed during the Saga line, yet we never get them. And what about one of the most iconic lightsabers in recent SW memory, Darth Maul? There is no modern-quality version at all, the closest is the '02 Saga metal hilt with removable blades, but the blades break easily, so we haven't seen it in a while, and it's a bit long. We don't have a deactivated one to hang on a belt, don't have a 1-blade-activated version, don't have a "cut in half" version, Maul is pretty lacking for his weapon. Why are we getting old junky saber accessories with the modern versions of these guys? Why aren't we seeing better, more accurate lightsaber accessories for some of these fairly major, recognizable Jedi characters? And will these issues be addressed soon?
- - Although we've gotten in recent years a better Luke from ANH, and even a second Han Solo Death Star Escape, we've still not really gotten an acceptable Luke Death Star Escape figure. The last one was the 25th Anniversary set which was essentially a statue. Luke and Leia's "swing to freedom" (as Hasbro describes it) is one of the earliest, most iconic Star Wars images, and yet not only do we not have a truly acceptable Leia figure for this, but we don't have a modern-quality Luke for it, and he's the hero of the scene! Luke would need a stormtrooper utility belt and grappling hook & line (and if these just happened to be swappable with a regular Luke ANH belt to complete the Death Star scenes in this costume, so much the better), and articulation to deliver the action, and a quality likeness would mean a lot too. Are there any chances that we get a Death Star Escape Luke like this? And while we're at it, how about a Leia as well?
- - In several instances now, when asked about the new Slave I getting an ESB release, the response is that it largely depends on how the current Clone Wars version does at retail. If the decision to release it this way is based off sales, why release this as a $100 set with a few re-released figures, and a vehicle repaint that wasn't really hotly requested? If this CW set does sell, does that suggest an ESB release would get a similar Ultimate Battle Pack treatment with the release of some new figures like Bespin Guards and an existing vehicle like the Cloud Car? If that's not likely in store for an ESB Slave I, why predicate that release on this one when it has a different pricepoint, market, and really a different business model altogether? Why release the CW one in this ultimate battle pack format, was this vehicle originally planned for the now-defunct $60 Deluxe Vehicle line and repurposed, was this always the plan for it, or if not, how did this come about this way?
- - Given previous answers from Hasbro that a Cane Adiss figure was not off the table, and then the character showing 10th in the most recent Fans Choice poll, it certainly seems like eventually we'll probably get a Cane Adiss figure at some point down the road. With that in mind, has the Hasbro Star Wars team given any thought to how Cane, the largest character in the Fans Choice poll, could be realized as a product since he undoubtedly wouldn't fit on the current basic card - would it be a battle pack, a mail-away, an exclusive for Toys R Us (a good tie-in to the giraffe-themed retailer)? And has there been any discussion on a "whole creature" design for Adiss similarly to how the team extrapolated a fully-realized design for aliens like Dice Ibegon that were only prop puppet heads? Obviously we're not expecting Lucasfilm approval on any ideas you guys might have yet, but preliminarily, what does the Hasbro team feel a Cane Adiss figure would look like?
Vote now, and suggest new questions too. Thanks for participating!

Support National Guard Military Technicians
Pentagon leaders exempted uniformed personnel from the sequester to limit the impact of ongoing budget debates on military readiness. However, they did not include the approximately 53,000 National Guard military technicians in that exemption.
These technicians support the readiness of troops not only for the state emergencies but for the federal mission as well. They are part of the Total Force team and wear the uniform of our nation each day.
If you lined up five members of the National Guard's Army or Air Force personnel and were asked to point out the military technician, you would need to ask their pay or duty status since they all wear the same uniforms.
They are true American patriots like every other member serving in the U.S. military.
President Barack Obama, Congress and the Defense Department all agreed to exempt uniformed personnel from the sequester. But the furlough of military technicians violates that intent.
Frankly, that our nation's government condones the furlough of uniformed service members is appalling.
The DoD reduced the number of furlough days to 11, but the savings does not offset the effects. The National Guard must remain ready to answer the call.
Eleven work days without military technicians maintaining equipment, training the force and administering unit activities impacts unit personnel and equipment readiness. Citizens require governors to have available the proper equipment and necessary manpower to respond to emergencies at any time.
It's the Guard motto: "Always ready, always there."
The National Guard provided support to domestic crises more than 100 times in 2012, including 11 natural disasters that each cost more than $1 billion.
Imagine those disasters without a trained force to get the areas productive again.
National Guard military technicians or active military members represent 15 percent of the force, but train nearly 85 percent of the 460,000 members of that force. Targeting these service members makes absolutely no sense.
If the federal government would allow the governors to cross level funds, they could achieve the same savings without the need to furlough the military technicians. However, that option is not on the table.
The best option now is to pass legislation.
Rep. Steven Palazzo, R-Miss., a member of the National Guard in his state, introduced H.R. 1014. This bill would exempt military technicians from the furloughs by including them in military personnel accounts now and in the future.
I urge your support of this bill or other federal legislation that will accomplish this goal. Contact your representative in Congress today. (Editor's Note: A Legislative Alert was issued by NGAUS on June 19. Take action here!)
Joel Mutschler is the chairman of the Pennsylvania National Guard Associations, the professional organization that is the voice of more than 19,000 Pennsylvanians who serve their state and nation in the Pennsylvania National Guard.
As a family of a military
As a family of a military technician, who has deployed numerous times to protect are country, we ask that you exempt them from the furlough. If you want them to be straight civilians, then they should not have to deploy or wear the uniform unless their unit is activated.
It's ashame that our politicians can't correct their financial mistakes without stepping on the throats of the very people whom protect our great nation. After 2 recent wars and years of sacrifices, we are left disappointed.

In reality:
- Locals dislike the violence (to put it mildly)
- Most of the public doesn't share those protesters' views
- Most of the public has no sympathy for those protesters' views
- The protesters tend to be young middle-class western kids who have no idea what means to go hungry, no clue what it's like in the third world, no clue about economics, and yet they claim to represent the interests of people who do know and they "represent" those people through violence.
- And if they are the sort that believes in "History" (i.e., if they are commies) then they also certainly lack an understanding of recent history.
What a bunch of reckless, dangerous, young moral relativists.
Twenty years from now they'll be like the baby boomers of today who used to be the protesters of the 60s and who they emulate; they'll be the greedy make-our-granchildren-pay-for-our-retirement types.

Proteins are the building blocks of life. Every cell in the human body contains protein. The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids.
You need protein in your diet to help your body repair cells and make new ones. Protein is also important for growth and development in children, teens, and pregnant women.
Diet - protein; Complete protein; Incomplete protein
Protein foods are broken down into parts called amino acids during digestion. The human body needs a number of amino acids in large enough amounts to maintain good health.
Amino acids are found in animal sources such as meats, milk, fish, and eggs. They are also found in plant sources such as soy, beans, legumes, nut butters, and some grains (such as wheat germ and quinoa). You do not need to eat animal products to get all the protein you need in your diet.
Amino acids are classified into three groups:
Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body, and must be supplied by food. They do not need to be eaten at one meal. The balance over the whole day is more important.
Nonessential amino acids are made by the body from essential amino acids or in the normal breakdown of proteins.
Conditional amino acids are needed in times of illness and stress.
A well-balanced diet provides enough protein. Healthy people rarely need protein supplements.
Vegetarians are able to get enough essential amino by eating a variety of plant proteins.
The amount of recommended daily protein depends upon your age and health. Two to three servings of protein-rich foods will meet the daily needs of most adults.
The following are the recommended serving sizes for protein:
Children and teens may need different amounts, depending on their age. Some healthy sources of meat protein include:
Other good sources of protein include:
Do not eat more than four eggs per week. Eggs are very high in cholesterol. Try recipes that use egg whites only.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's newest food guide, called MyPlate, can help you make healthy eating choices.

Metrokane Rabbit Swish Aeration System
Unlock all the flavor and aroma from your favorite wine with the Metrokane Rabbit Swish Aeration System (6150). As wine breathes, it releases its intended aromas and flavors, and aerators speed up this process so that you can enjoy all of the best flavors of your wine easily and instantly.

ACRL/ARL Institute on Scholarly Communication
ACRL and the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) jointly sponsor the Institute on Scholarly Communication to promote the development of library-led outreach on scholarly communication issues. The institute has hundreds of alumni forming a community that provides peer support and professional sharing of information relating to campus outreach.
The institute's signature event is an immersive learning experience that prepares participants as local experts within their libraries and provides a structure for developing a program plan for scholarly communication outreach that is customized for each participant's institution. To achieve this goal, participant teams conduct an environmental scan before the institute, engage in a series of active learning experiences during the event, and create elements for a program plan for implementation at their home institution. Originally a national event, regional offerings of the institute are being developed.
A variety of other resources are also being developed as part of the institute initiative. Institute resources already include freely available Web tools and webcasts, with other kinds of resources being planned.
Who Should Apply for an Institute Event?
Institute planners are committed to creating an experience that allows people with varied expertise to explore scholarly communications issues together. The goal is to have the cohort represent a wide range of professional backgrounds, types and sizes of institutions, and roles within the institutions. Examples of institutional roles include:
Librarians who work directly with faculty members on campus
Library administrators
College and university faculty and administrators
Those responsible for digital repositories
Librarians with collection development responsibilities

Lennar Digital Sylenth1
Sylenth1 is a masterfully created VST/AudioUnit synth with a sound quality that can compete at the same level as hardware synths! Created by Lennar Digital, the entire premise of the instrument is to combine intuitive hands-on editing and sound design with exceptional sound quality, warmth and clarity. The Sylenth1 comes with two layers of editing, each with dedicated filter, envelopes, LFO's, oscillators, as well as a global effects bank with an arpeggiator and step-sequencer.
Sylenth1 has four band-limited oscillators, with each one having up to eight stereo voices that can be panned, detuned and phased. Overall, the Sylenth1 has 16 notes of polyphony, but the polyphonic oscillators means you can achieve 4 x 8 x 16 = 512 simultaneous voices!
Sylenth1 has two highly acclaimed analog style filters, each of which has four filter types as well as analog overdrive to generate warmth and bite. These include 12 or 24 dB/oct lowpass modes, bandpass and highpass. They can also be driven into self-oscillation.
There are two LFO's that can be routed to almost all of the parameters, as well as the two ADSR envelopes, creating a jungle of sound possibilities. Keyboard velocity, tracking and mod-wheel data can also be used to modulate most parameters. The LFO's can be synced to the host program's tempo.
The Master FX section includes 7 high quality effects: Chorus/Flanger, Phaser (6-stage), Delay (with low and high pass filters and tempo sync), EQ, Distortion (5 types), Compressor and Reverb — all with multiple modes and parameters. The Arpeggiator features 10 different melodic modes and has a built-in step sequencer with adjustable pitch, velocity and hold settings.
Sylenth1 runs exceptionally well on a Mac or PC system. CPU usage is highly optimized so its RAM and processor requirements are well within the reach of even the most budget restricted musicians (almost any Intel with 128 MB). Overall, this is probably one of the best-sounding VST's out there if you're trying to get an analog sound from a synthesizer that is "in the box".
