Big Picture

This blog covers the construction and flying of a Van's Aircraft RV–8, built and flown by Kevin Horton.
I had thoughts of someday building my own aircraft from the time I was a teenager, but never took it beyond the fantasy stage until after arriving at Cold Lake, Alberta as a freshly minted test pilot. One of the other test pilots there was building an RV–4, and he told me fantastical tales of the performance and flying qualities. I did some research, and learned that Richard Van Grunsven (Van), had designed a very well loved all-metal single seater, the RV–3, followed by the two-place tandem RV–4, and the two-place side-by-side RV–6, all with tail-wheel landing gear. And then the RV–6A, with tricycle landing gear. All models had a good all-round performance and were reputed to have excellent handling. I was tempted, but the time wasn't right. As always, there were one or two things to get done in life first, and then the time would be perfect.
A few years passed, and I eventually realized that as soon as you got one of those roadblocks out of the way another one appeared, and the "perfect time" never arrived. If you wanted to get something done in life, you just needed to get started.
One day I learned that Van had come out with the RV–8, which was two-seat tandem like the RV–4, but with much more baggage space, 10 gallons more fuel and a wider cockpit and instrument panel. I had visions of quite a bit of cross country flying, possibly in Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), so baggage space, fuel capacity and a large instrument panel were all attractive. This was the trigger I needed to get off my butt and start this grand project. I did a demo ride at Oshkosh in 1997, and was very happy with the aircraft, so I ordered the tail kit.
I looked at the tail kit as the litmus test - I would use it to see if I enjoyed the building process. If I did, I would continue. If not, I would sell the tail kit and drop the idea of building an aircraft. I found that the building process was very enjoyable, and was good way to relieve stress after a busy day at work. I carried on, doing a bit at a time, like the proverbial mouse eating the elephant. And one day, many years later, I had an aircraft. And it flew.
Construction started in the fall of 1997, and first flight was almost 11 years later in August 2008. The beautiful Golden Hawks paint scheme was finally done in the spring of 2010.
The aircraft has about 230 hours on it now (May 2013), and Terry and I have finally started to do some regular traveling with it. We took it to the huge EAA Fly-In at Oshkosh, WI in 2010 and 2011. I got to Sun n Fun in 2012, and we have flow it to Nova Scotia and Wisconsin several times. I try to fly the aircraft every week that I am home, if the weather cooperates.
There are a few more pictures of the aircraft in the C-GNHK Photo Gallery.

Tailwheel Steering Pontifications
- Details

- Hits: 1565
One of the maintenance items I checked out on Saturday was the tailwheel steering. There was a very illuminating thread on the Vans Air Force forums recently. The original poster had ground looped his RV–8 while landing in a moderate right crosswind. Luckily, nothing was damaged except his ego. He wasn't 100% sure what had triggered the ground loop, but he suspected that the tailwheel may have unlocked from the tailwheel steering during rollout.
The ensuing discussion was quite interesting, as it highlighted a potential issue with single-are tailwheel steering linkages, as is fitted to our RV–8. It seems that the typical geometry of these linkages puts the bellcrank at the tailwheel pivot at a different angle than the rudder horn where the front end of the linkage attaches. This results in more tailwheel travel to one side than to the other, and this may cause the linkage to unlock at full rudder travel.
I check our tailwheel on Saturday, and sure enough, full left rudder turns the tailwheel far enough that the unlocking cam disengages it from the bellcrank at the pivot. In principle, the tailwheel should remain locked to the linkage at full rudder, unless you tap the brake to tighten up the turn, in which case the spring in the linkage allows the wheel to turn further, causing it to unlock.
I played around with the available adjustment in the linkage, but it was not possible to set it up so that it would remain locked at both full right and full left travel. I studied the geometry and concluded that there are two possible fixes.
- Purchase or fabricate a tailwheel pivot bellcrank that has the end of the arm swept back further, so the line between the pivot and the end of the arm is parallel to a line between the rudder hinge and the forward end of the steering linkage.
- Purchase a longer rod end for the steering linkage and drill a new hole for the front end of the arm. The new hole would be further ahead on the rudder horn, which would make the angle between the rudder hinge and the linkage arm attachment close to parallel to the angle between the tailwheel pivot and the aft end of the linkage arm.
Note: This issue is not present if the builder uses the two chains and springs that Van supplies with the kit. I had tried those, but found that the chains hit the bottom of the rudder fairing, which prompted me to switch to the single-arm steering linkage.
Busy Late Summer

It's been a busy time since my last update.
Shortly after getting back from Oshkosh, I flew the RV–8 to Yarmouth, NS to visit my parents and sister for a week. It was a great trip in all respects.
While in Yarmouth, I took my niece and nephews up for flights.
The hills in western Maine were as attractive as ever.
I headed back to Vancouver Island on Labour Day, for two weeks of Twin Otter flight testing with Viking Aircraft. We got everything done on schedule, so I flew back home on Friday.
Flying over Vancouver Island was particularly scenic on this trip, as one of the flights took as across the middle of the island, as we needed the very smooth air over the Pacific Ocean, west of the island, for our testing.
Saturday I spent a few hours at the hangar taking care of a few maintenance items.
EAA Airventure Fly-In

During my first few Oshkosh fly-ins, I would always try to see everything, which resulted in walking untold numbers of miles every day due to the huge site, with aching feet and legs by the end of Day Three. Now I try to prioritize things a bit, and only focus on the highlights. I also attempt to make better use of the tram service, and to plan the week so I only have visit the most distant areas once.
Sunrise in Homebuilt Camping
I have also made quite few friends there, so I take the time to stop and talk to folks that I only see once a year. Oshkosh is more about the people than the planes for me now.
I see Mark Richardson more often than once a year, as he lives in the Ottawa area. But, we did enjoy the output of his propane fuelled espresso maker.
On Monday, Terry and I went though the "sea of RVs" (i.e. the huge parking area filled with various models of the Vans Aircraft designs). We also went through one large section of the outside aircraft exhibitors. It was very hot and muggy, so we rewarded ourselves with a much enjoyed ice cream mid afternoon.
Tuesday AM, we went through the Vintage Aircraft Parking area and had our annual RV–8 builders/flyers/wannabees meeting. We've been doing these for over 15 years now, and it is always good to talk to the other builders.
Wednesday morning was warbirds, followed by a couple of interesting forum presentations. The highlight was an interview with Col. Richard Cole, the last surviving member of the Doolittle Raid. The flight of the 16 B–25 bombers off the Hornet aircraft carrier to attack Tokyo in April 1942 was a great boost to the American moral, in the early days of the US part of WWII. Col. Cole is 100 years old, and while he appears quite frail, is obviously still very sharp, with excellent memory of his role as Jimmy Doolittle's copilot for the raid.
Terry bailed out on a bus Thursday AM, to get off site to be picked up by two of her sisters. She spent the rest of the week in Manitowoc with them. My brother and his son arrived Thursday morning, and we spent the afternoon walking over much of the site. My legs had enough by 17:00, so I left them and rested for the evening.
Friday AM, my brother, his son and I took a bus to the Airventure Seaplane Base. This is a very peaceful place, hidden in the trees around a lagoon on Lake Winnebago, SW of the airport. Friday afternoon, we parked ourselves on the flight line to watch the airshow. The highlight was the Snowbirds, but most of the other acts were excellent as well.
Saturday AM, I packed up and joined the long congo line of aircraft taxing for departure. I did the short flight to Manitowoc to meet up with Terry again. We spent Sunday there, and flew home on Monday.
On the way home, we deviated from our usual stop of Sault Ste. Marie, MI. This time, I did some research on fuel prices, and was surprised to learn that the fuel in Gore Bay was cheaper than the fuel in Sault Ste. Marie, MI. And, the route through Gore Bay was 18 nm shorter than the route through Sault Ste. Marie. So, we cleared Customs in Gore Bay. The Customs lady was extremely friendly, as was the FBO gal. CYZE will likely be our usual stop on the way back from WI.
EAA Airventure Fly-In - Arrival
- Details

I've been rather delinquent in updating this site lately - sorry about that.
Terry and I had a great trip to EAA Airventure (a.k.a "Oshkosh"). We were airborne at 08:00 on Saturday, 23 July and made it to Manitowoc, WI by noon, via a fuel, lunch and Customs stop in at Sanderson Field in Sault Ste. Marie, MI. We spent the night in Manitowoc, staying with one of Terry's sisters.
We had planned to fly into Oshkosh early Sunday morning, to beat the usual Sunday afternoon rush. But, the weather had other plans, with a bunch of thunderstorm cells moving through Oshkosh first thing in the morning, with the leading edge of the ceilings arriving at Manitowoc before the trailing edge was finished pounding Oshkosh. We waited anxiously for the weather to improve in Manitowoc, and rushed to the airport around 10:00 when the weather report suddenly showed an 8000 ft ceiling. But, as we arrived at the airport, I could see a lot of very low cloud around, and it was clearly not suitable for VFR flying, despite the nice report. Sure enough, a few minutes later the reported weather was revised to 600 ft ceiling. We waited. And waited. And went for lunch, and waited some more. We finally gave up and went back to the sister's place, as Manitowoc was still bouncing between 400 and 600 ft ceilings, while the rest of Wisconsin enjoyed sunny skies. The problem was that Manitowoc is on a bit of a bump protruding into Lake Michigan, and the wind was blowing moisture in off the lake.
Finally around 14:00 the skies opened up, so we rushed to the airport and headed for Ripon, to start the special arrival procedure. I switched to the Fisk Approach frequency, and was dismayed to learn that one of the arrival runways was closed and that they were putting all arrivals into holding patterns around Green Lake and Rush Lake. We joined several dozen other aircraft in the Green Lake holding pattern.
Shortly after we arrived in the Green Lake hold, they started accepting arrivals again, which meant that they first started emptying the Rush Lake holding pattern, followed by emptying the Green Lake pattern. When they empty the Green Lake hold, you are supposed to continue single file around the lake until you are heading NE, then proceed to Ripon. But, it seems that there were quite a few folks who decided that they were special, and the procedure didn't apply to them. These special idiots all turned directly towards Ripon, so the sky was full of aircraft proceeding from various parts of Green Lake, all converging on the same point. Grr. We managed to avoid everybody, thanks in no small part to Terry's great work at pointing out other aircraft that I hadn't seen yet.
After we passed Ripon, and were following the railroad tracks towards Fisk, a Piper Cherokee came up from the south and parked himself 300 ft off our right wing tip. He should have gone to Ripon first, rather than trying to break into line, and I don't think he even saw us. I didn't want to break out of line due to his incompetence, so I proceed on, while watching him like a hawk. Fortunately the Fisk controller was on the ball, and instructed him to turn right for the runway 36 arrival, and we were told to continue straight ahead for runway 27, which provided separation between us.
Things got crazy again as we approached the airport, with one guy wandering all over the sky looking for the downwind leg, and a Gulfstream business jet on an IFR arrival which forced several VFR arrivals to go around. We landed around 16:15, did a long taxi to HomeBuilt Camping, and set up camp in extremely hot and muggy conditions. You can see our landing on YouTube - we were instructed to landing on the green dot - it looks like I missed by about 50 ft.
More to follow soon.
Second Post-Engine-Install Flight

I took yesterday off from anything related to RVs, as I had spent the previous eight days at the airport. Today was another sunny day, so I went flying again - another 2.5 hours in the vicinity of the airfield.
Before the second flight, I pulled the cowlings to inspect for leaks or anything else amiss. I found one small oil leak in the vicinity of the prop governor, but it isn't clear where it is coming from. This looks exactly like the mysterious leak I chased for the last several years. Oh well. I also found a loose connection at the fuel pump vent line. I pulled the oil filter, cut it open and inspected it. It looked completely normal, with the expected very small number of tiny metal pieces, typical after an overhaul.
The flight itself went well, but it was pretty boring staying within gliding range of the airport. I'll go a bit further afield now, but won't stop at another airport until I get at least 10 hours on the engine.

Southwestern Student Lands Prestigious Internship
Diana Webster, a third-year day student, has been selected to participate in the Morris K. Udall Native American Congressional Internship Program, which provides its participants with an insider's view of how the federal government works. She is one of 12 students who will partake in the 10 -week program in Washington, D.C., from May 27 through August 5, which allows interns to get immersed in observing the government's decision making process by working in the Senate and House offices, committees, Cabinet departments and the White House. Webster will work for the White House Council on Environmental Quality as a legal intern.
"Dinah Bear, the CEQ's General Counsel, explained that the office coordinates federal environmental policies and initiatives including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and works with other agencies and White House offices," Webster said. "She described a very hands-on experience where I would have the opportunity to write legal memoranda, do legal research and attend Congressional hearings. It is a great fit because my Ojibwe grandparents taught me that Indian people have a deep responsibility to protect the earth and all its creatures."
Professor Angela Riley recognized Webster's strong commitment to Indian legal issues during her Federal Indian Law and Cultural Property classes as well as her involvement with Southwestern's Native American Law Students Association (NALSA) and encouraged her to apply for the program. "Professor Riley is the faculty advisor of the club and an incredible resource, constantly providing NALSA with information on opportunities in the field of Indian Law."
Webster, who graduates in May, is interested in working with tribal governments as an attorney or tribal government member or as part of a federal agency. With the continuing economic development of tribes, Webster said that it is critical that their leaders concurrently gain the political strength to protect their interests and she would like to be part of that.
"I hope to learn how things 'really work' in our government. That means learning the protocol and procedure to move projects and legislature beneficial to Indian people and the environment forward," Webster said. "The fact that someone like me, a second-career law student from an American Indian background, has been given the chance to participate at such a high level in our government will hopefully encourage all Southwestern students to dream big and go for it!"
As a participant, she'll be provided with room and board, as well as a stipend upon completion of the program. During that time, the Udall Foundation will also provide the interns with tours to Washington D.C. museums and places of interest, and arrange meetings with members of Congress, Supreme Court Justices, and directors and staff of federal agencies.
The Morris K. Udall Foundation Native American Congressional Internship was established to give Native American students the opportunity to experience the political process and learn how the federal government works. The interns come from all areas of study. Udall championed the rights of American Indians during his career and sponsored important legislature for tribes such as the Indian Child Welfare Act, the American Indian Religious Freedom Act, Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, and the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

I dont know Emily but she appears to be a moral and clean person of image, style and grace. Looks are decieving, but im just commenting on what I see. I only can hope and pray that the image and exterior are just the result of greater inside workings. She deserves the prize of beauty over the likes of a whore mongering no good unrepentant and tormented soul. Miley , WAKE UP!

Miley Cyrus? who's she? since her days of morality have disappeard in place of fame and fortune she is no longer desirable at all. She's sold her soul to the devil. Her managers are just thinking of the financial gain of reinventing her image as a slutty madonna. And thats exactly what she is.
Britney Spears had a meltdown but actually had a brain fart of sorts and repented of her ways, somewhat.
In any case, Hollywoods influences on young people with talent have developed in MC just what MC wanted. The devils pleasures and allurements are : lust of the flesh= sex; the lust of the eyes = power, fame and fortune and the pride of life itself = worldly successes with empty results.
Hollywood belongs to Lucifer
The media is his tool
his symbolism is everywhere in America : symbols on NASCAR jackets JH Design pentagram inside a circle within the pentagram; On floor mats in dequise as flowers, on Macy's bags . The world is his and those of you partake belong to him as well….have fun while it lasts. Jesus is interceding for you and wants you in heaven.

|Should work well for bluefish too.
2 minute pike fly
Well, this one took me about 12 minutes because I had to dig out the materials and I spent a few minutes trying to find my copper krystal flash, which I never did find . I had 15 minutes before I had to leave the house for the night and I wanted to tie a pike fly to use the next day. This is what I came up with using the classic Daredevle colors except that I used silver flash instead of copper.
Hook: 3/0 bass bug hook
Thread: 3/0 white
Tail/body/wing: red and white fishair and silver krystal flash
I didn't tie the "wing" down but pulled the material back on the top and sides, wrapped thread in front of it, tied off, clamped the hair with a clothespin and doused the thread and folded hair with head cement. The cement held up ok until I hooked a fish and then the hair didn't stay swept back when out of the water but still worked fine in the water. Next time I'll use something a little more durable than head cement.

There were a lot of things about theoretical physics that didn't make sense for laymen and lot still don't. I see a lot of grads in liberal arts who don't get the stuff of this nature. I would say he doesn't need to concern himself and others non technical folks in this. It is not every man's cup of tea.
It is not too late for Mr. Wright to go back and get some schooling in physics cuz instead of edification by a rookie colleague writing a column for him.
It is still not 100% but it is Higgs boson like!

I really planned on going hunting this evening . But I did some mowing and ate too much supper . I know , that's a very poor excuse . So as I have been sitting here reading different posts I came up with a plan for tomorrow .
My work day ends at 2 pm . Tomorrow I'll get to the truck and take off my boots and put on my house slippers . 8 hours on concrete really takes it out of me and makes my feet ache . So , I'll put on some cooler and loose fitting slippers for the 50 minute ride and get my feet in better shape for some real walking . Then when I get home I will change into some drab and get back in the truck ,,head for the hunting area .
Forecast is calling for thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon . My goal is to be there when they pass through and hopefully hear some shock gobbling from the thunder . At least I'll know where the birds are if this works out . If I can locate those 3 longbeards by their shock gobbles I'll move in as close as I can and try to fool them once again . I know also it's a gamble simply for the fact I've tricked 'em too often already . What can I say ?
One thing is for dead certain . I will not be caught out in any type of open timber again running a call or setting up there . I'll risk the noise of running like a young man just to get in some decent cover .
It's suppose to be in the 80's tomorrow so rain won't keep me in the truck this time .

Recent developments have combined to provide environmentalists a more powerful voice in Washington, even if political contributions from environmental groups are but a small fraction of those given by the industries they generally oppose.
The Obama administration's focus on the environment and the international scientific community's emphasis on climate change have jumpstarted calls for tighter government regulation in some areas. In June 2013, Obama unveiled his new climate change strategy, which included limiting pollution from coal-fired power plants and permitting completion of the Keystone XL pipeline only if it does not increase greenhouse gas emissions.
Environmentalists generally advocate against big industries with big money, such as oil and gas companies, power utilities and chemical companies. Environmental groups contributed more than $14.7 million during the 2012 election cycle, almost triple the more than $5.2 million they gave during the 2010 election cycle. Outside spending is responsible for a lot of the increase -- in 2012, nearly $9.5 million of the total contributions from environmental groups went to outside spending groups, whereas in 2010, that number was less than $804,000.
Environment America leads the pack in total contributions, donating more than $5 million during the 2012 election cycle. The League of Conservation Voters and the Sierra Club followed, with more than $3.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively. All three of these groups (including their employees) gave more than half, or in Environment America's case nearly all, of their contributions to outside spending groups.
In 2012, environmental groups spent just shy of $16.4 million on lobbying efforts, with the BlueGreen Alliance spending the most. The Environmental Defense Fund and the Nature Conservancy also each spent over $1 million on lobbying in 2012. Lobbying efforts by environmental groups peaked in 2009 at more than $24.6 million, and have been declining ever since.

GlassFish ESB Resilience Options
By Michael.Czapski on Feb 26, 2010
It is expected that business solutions, whether designed in accordance with the Service Oriented Architecture principles, or designed following any of the other accepted architectural principles, are robust, reliable and available. Robustness, reliability and availability, in this context, means not just that solutions are free of design and implementation defects but are also architected and deployed in such a way that business users can access them when needed, in spite of any failures that may occur.
In an ideal world all applications will always be available for use. In the real world this may not be possible, or may not be possible at a reasonable cost.
The document referenced below discusses resilience options available to the designers of GlassFish ESB solutions and considerations that need to be entered into when designing GlassFish ESB solutions for resilience and high availability.
The original article, GlassFish ESB Resilience Options, is available at http://blogs.czapski.id.au/2010/03/glassfish-esb-resilience-options

Zags sent home early from WCC tourney
STOCKTON, Calif. - A four-run sixth and ninth inning were the deciding factors Friday as the Gonzaga University baseball team was chased out of the West Coast Conference Baseball Tournament 8-1 by the BYU Cougars at Banner Island Ballpark. The Bulldogs entered as the No. 1 seed only to be ousted in both of its games in the double elimination tournament with an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament on the line.
"Not that we are satisfied with the season but we had some tremendous accomplishments," head coach Mark Machtolf said. "We did a lot of good things and with a lot of new players. I feel good about how each man contributed."
The Zags conclude the regular-season 32-21-1 overall while BYU moves to 32-20.
WCC Pitcher of the Year, Tyler Olson, made the start for Gonzaga against Jeff Barker. The two previously faced off in Spokane with Olson getting the better of his counterpart. Today, however, was Barker's day.
Both pitchers were in control early in the game with Olson setting an early tone for GU. A 10 pitch first inning made quick work of the Cougars for Olson and the Bulldogs appeared to have early momentum. The Bulldogs bats were hitting the ball hard off Barker but missed opportunities would haunt the club.
Gonzaga had the first legitimate chance to score with the bases loaded in the top of the third inning. With just one out, Barker was able to work out of his jam after recording a strikeout and a pop up to the shortstop.
GU had similar issues Thursday against University San Francisco with leaving the bases loaded. In total the Zags left bases full of Bulldogs four times in the two games.
"I thought our guys did a good job on offense," Machtolf said. "But when we needed a big hit we did not get it. It was in reverse for them. Give BYU credit though, they battled today too."
However the Bulldogs drew first blood with solid two out hitting from Marco Gonzales and Travis Forbes. A Gonzales double allowed Forbes to drive him home with a bloop single to right field. The next batter, Payden Cawley Lamb, connected for a double to deep left field but Forbes was gunned out at home on a well-timed BYU relay.
The lead was short lived as the Cougars took the lead in the bottom half of the frame. Back-to-back hits from Brennon Anderson and Adam Law tied the game. Kelton Caldwell and Bret Lopez each singled in another run and the Cougars took a 4-1 edge before Olson escaped the inning on a line drive he fielded himself.
Barker's day ended after issuing a walk to Wood to open the eighth inning. Replacing Barker was James Lengal who took the Zags last offense punch of the tournament. Wood would single putting the first two runners on for Gonzales with no outs.
A called third strike sat down Gonzales and the next batter Forbes grounded into an inning ending double play.
Olson's day ended in the eighth and he was relieved by Arturo Reyes. The Cougars loaded the bases and push across four more runs to all but end the Zags run in the tournament.
Despite throwing five shutout innings, Olson was tabbed with the loss allowing 11 hits and six runs while striking out five Cougars.
Gonzaga tallied 11 hits with each batter in the lineup recording one. Lamb, with three, was the lone Bulldog to have a multi-hit effort.
"This team came together and continues to get better as the year went along," Machtolf said. "I told them to keep their heads up and to know we are proud of them."
The Bulldogs can still make the postseason by earning an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament field. The selection of the field will be released Monday.

A popular stock option strategy used by investors is the covered call. The covered call is one in which you would write a call option contract for a number of shares of stock you actually own. If you own the stock before writing the call option it is called an overwrite. If you buy the stock as you create the call contract, it is called a buy-write.
The stock you own is covering the call option contract which is where the name is derived from. This stock option strategy is generally used when the market is going sideways or you form an opinion that a bull market is developing.
With the covered option, the price for the underlying asset has been determined already unlike in a naked option where you don't own the stock. When the option is uncovered, you will have to go to the market to buy the stock if and when it becomes necessary to cover the option. It is possible to cover your option at any time before the expiration date of the option contract.
The covered call stock option strategy is less risky than the uncovered option simply because you already know the price of the underlying asset. The covered call is used to generate income from the underlying asset or stock.
You get to keep the premium on the covered call and if the contract expires then you also profit from any gains in the stock value. If the option is exercised you will earn the premium in addition to the difference between the purchased stock price and the strike price. This stock option strategy can also protect you from underlying stock that that may experience a price decline.
The breakeven point for the covered call stock option strategy is equal to the stock purchase price less the premium received.

Conference to examine ethics and philanthropy, May 5-6
Posted April 29, 2005; 06:41 p.m.
"Philanthropy, Ethics and International Aid," a conference that will look at some of the ethical issues raised by philanthropy in the international arena, is set for Thursday and Friday, May 5-6, on campus.
The keynote address at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in McCosh 50 will take the form of a debate titled "Is Philanthropy the Right Response to Global Poverty?" between Ray Offenheiser, president of Oxfam America, and David Rieff, a 1980 Princeton graduate who is a senior fellow at the World Policy Institute and the author of "A Bed for the Night: Humanitarianism in Crisis." The session will be chaired by Peter Singer, the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics in the University Center for Human Values.
Other sessions will run from 2:30 to 4 p.m. Thursday and from 8:30 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. Friday in McCosh 10. Questions to be raised include: What ethical problems face foundations when they give international aid? How can we make development aid accountable? Is aid really effective? Can we rigorously assess the impact of aid programs? What special ethical issues are raised by health care as a form of international aid?
The event is sponsored by the University Center for Human Values, Center for Health and Well-being, Research Program in Development Studies and Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton; the Asia-Pacific Centre for Philanthropy and Social Investment at Swinburne University in Australia; and the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs in New York.

I've got far too many projects on the go at the moment. The 'most current' one is a mailing list system with tracking facilities. I.e. when someone clicks a link in a message, the system records that they did that, and (the controversial bit) also tracks when they open the message, via a remotely-loaded image. (It's not designed for spamming. It's designed for small-scale mailing lists; I doubt it could even cope with the quantities of mail spammers send.) My excuse is that I'm being paid to write this...
...doesn't boot on my system. It freezes just after initialising the speaker. (It's a hardware-fault-esque freeze - even SysRq doesn't do anything.)
And now my old, previously working configuration of 2.4.20-gentoo-r6 also dies on bootup as well; I've managed to strip out a load of extras (preemptile kernel, ACPI, APIC, low-latency, etc.) and now it boots. The difference is that I can't get 2.6.0-test3-bk1 to boot whatever I do to the configuration.
I'm not sure exactly what's causing it to freeze - that's a job for tomorrow. But to add insult to injury, my PC boots Windows XP fine...
I hope it's not a hardware fault. I can't really afford to go buying a new motherboard at the moment. (And I've swapped almost everything else around, so if it's hardware, it's the motherboard, CPU, graphics card, or hard disk.)
Real life
Well, in under eight hours I'll have my A-level results and will (hopefully) know which university I'm going to (first choice: Cambridge, second choice: Manchester).
I hope the events of the past day weren't supposed to be an omen or something... all sorts of things have gone wrong, starting with my box suddenly refusing to boot my Linux kernel (above), and culminating with me dropping two years' worth of heavy computer magazines onto the floor from ceiling height, narrowly missing my Mum and my sister. (They were tied together with string, and attached to the end of a rope, so they could be hoisted into the attic. The string snapped. Enough said.)
Hopefully that will have got all of this week's bad luck out of the way before my results arrive. :-)

Menthol is an organic compound with a characteristic minty smell. It can be derived from natural sources, such as peppermint and eucalyptus plants, or produced synthetically. Menthol has a range of invigorating and soothing properties that make it a versatile ingredient in health and beauty products.
When applied topically to the skin, ingested, or inhaled, menthol produces a cooling sensation. Menthol does not, in fact, lower the temperature of the body or skin. Instead, it produces this cooling effect by blocking the calcium current along the nerves responsible for detecting temperature. The message that the individual receives via the nerve endings is that the skin or body is cooling.
Menthol's ability to produce a cooling sensation on the skin makes it an extremely useful ingredient in aftersun creams and lotions, which are designed to be applied to the skin after exposure to the sun. Menthol alleviates the hot, painful sensation that overexposure to the sun can trigger. Menthol is also found in products that can be applied topically to the forehead to ease the pain associated with headaches, such as cooling patches. Many people find menthol's cooling sensation to be uplifting and invigorating. As a result, menthol is used as an ingredient in toiletries and skin care products that are designed to refresh, revitalize, and enliven the skin.
Menthol also has pain relieving properties when applied topically. It is particularly beneficial in alleviating the pain associated with minor musculoskeletal problems, such as arthritis, sprains, or muscle cramps. Menthol can be combined with ibuprofen in pain relieving gels and creams that are designed to be applied topically. Menthol increases the effectiveness of the ibuprofen by enlarging the blood vessels (a process known as vasodilation). This allows the ibuprofen to penetrate deep in to the affected area.
When applied to the thin skin on the lips, menthol improves the flow of blood to the area, causing a temporary plumping effect. As a result, menthol is often included as an ingredient in lip products that aim to produce fuller lips without surgical intervention. These include balms and lip glosses that color the lips while producing a well-defined pout.
When taken orally, menthol can improve digestion, leading to the prevention or treatment of intestinal gas and bloating. Menthol helps to relax the muscles in the intestine, preventing spasms and lessening the likelihood of cramping. As a result, menthol can be useful for individuals experiencing irritable bowel syndrome.
Manufacturers of cough drops, cough syrup, and throat sprays include menthol in their products because it has anesthetic and cough suppressant qualities. Menthol soothes the throat irritation that can lead to persistent, painful coughing. Typically, cough drops containing menthol contain around 2 to 4 milligrams of menthol per piece.
Menthol has an expectorant action, which enables it to thin and loosen the mucus that builds up in the respiratory tract. Accordingly, inhalations of menthol can improve congestion in the nose and throat linked to colds and influenza. Menthol dilates the bronchioles, the passageways that transport air from the nose and mouth to the lungs. This property makes it ideal for alleviating respiratory conditions such as bronchitis. Steam inhalations of menthol can be produced by placing hot water in a bowl or bath and adding a few drops of menthol oil. Alternatively, menthol rubs can be applied to the chest and back.
The refreshing, minty sensation of menthol makes it a popular ingredient in oral hygiene products, such as toothpaste, mouthwash, and sprays that freshen the breath. Candy that is designed to freshen the breath, such as chewing gum and breath fresheners, often contains menthol to give it a fresh, minty flavor.
Menthol is used by some cigarette manufacturers to produce menthol cigarettes. In contrast to regular cigarettes, menthol cigarettes suppress the desire to cough because menthol soothes the back of the throat. Individuals who smoke menthol cigarettes are exposed to the same high risk of developing lung cancer and heart disease as those who smoke regular cigarettes.
Products containing menthol should be used in accordance with the manufacturers' guidance. The low levels of menthol found in over-the-counter products are generally well tolerated by most people. However, some individuals may find that high concentrations of menthol irritate their skin when applied topically.

In August 1824 Constable wrote to John Fisher that at Brighton 'there is nothing … for a painter, but the breakers – & the sky'. (Beckett VI, p. 171). In this painting the expanse of sea and sky is interrupted only by distant sailing boats. Constable gave the scene drama through the contrasting energy of the dark mass of the storm clouds and the horizontal strip of sea below.

I think it's interesting to analyze why similar plays can produce very different results and the various difficulties and strategies involved with each. In the CFL, there are three kinds of plays that involve kicking the ball. In each case, the opponent can recover the ball and then return it:
1. Punt
2. Kickoff
3. Missed field goal
In the NFL, a missed field goal automatically declares the play dead and the opponent gets the ball either at the 20-yard line or at the spot of the field goal attempt, whichever is farther from their own goal line. This presents some difficulty when deciding whether to punt or attempt a long field goal. Because if a long field goal attempt is missed, the opponent can get the ball in very good field position.
But in the CFL, a missed field goal must be returned so that makes things more interesting for the team currently in possession of the ball. Let's say team A is facing a 3rd and long from their opponent's 43-yard line. A field goal attempt would then come from 50-yards, which is roughly the upper limit for most placekickers including their own. So team A must now decide whether to punt the ball with the possibility of pinning team B deep in their end zone if it doesn't go for a single, or attempt a field goal to score 3 points.
Here is where I've been confused: Would it be correct to say that a long field goal attempt incorporates a punt attempt since, with good coverage, team B can still be trapped deep in their side of the field if they don't concede a single?
If that is correct, then shouldn't teams be trying long field goals more often than just punting, since missing the field goal would almost be identical to punting?
But somehow, that doesn't seem to be the case and this brings me to my next point. When it comes to returning the ball for a great distance and even a touchdown, it seems like the order from the easiest to the most difficult would be:
1. Missed field goal return for a TD (easiest)
2. Punt return for a TD (middle)
3. Kickoff return for a TD (hardest)
One of the most entertaining plays in Grey Cup history was the missed field goal return for a TD by Henry "The Gizmo" Williams early in the 1987 Grey Cup. I think what makes missed field goal returns so entertaining is that when the returner gets his hands on the ball, he is usually in his own end zone so the long distance he must run produces so much excitement. Kickoff returns for a TD don't happen too often, but when they happen they are also very exciting. Two very memorable ones are by Raghib "Rocket" Ismail in the 1991 Grey Cup, and by Tony Tompkins in the 2005 Grey Cup.
Blitz already talked about kickoff coverage in this thread:
But let's discuss this some more. What are the differences in difficulty between returning a missed field goal, a punt, and a kickoff, and why?
Here are some of my reasons:
1. In a field goal attempt, the kicker will be trying to kick the ball in to the middle of the field, giving the returning more space to work with. Unlike a punt, in which the punter can angle it towards the sidelines or out of bounds.
2. It is probably easier to fake a field goal attempt for a first down play than to do it on a punt attempt. The defence is aware of this so they usually have a defender down field other than the returner to watch for such plays. He is quick to provide blocking for the returner.
3. On punt attempts, there is the no-yards rule. So if the returner draws a no-yards penalty, he can be more carefree and less careful in his return because even if he fumbles away the ball, his team can still accept the penalty and regain possession.
4. On kickoffs, there isn't a no-yards rule so returners are more quick to handle the ball before it can be recovered by the kicking team. Also, the kicking team's defenders are usually more spread out instead of all bunched up on the line of scrimmage on field goal attempts and punts. The fact that the coverage is more spread out makes kickoff returns more difficult.
5. Kickoffs usually go much farther than punts. A good kickoff placekicker can average over 60 yards per kickoff, whereas good punters only average about 45 yards.

Retinal vein occlusion is a blockage of the small veins that carry blood away from the retina. The retina is the layer of tissue at the back of the inner eye that converts light images to nerve signals and sends them to the brain.
Central retinal vein occlusion; Branch retinal vein occlusion; CRVO; BRVO
Retinal vein occlusion is most often caused by hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and the formation of a blood clot.
Blockage of smaller veins (branch veins or BRVO) in the retina often occurs when retinal arteries that have been thickened or hardened by atherosclerosis cross over and place pressure on a retinal vein.
Risk factors for retinal vein occlusion include:
Because the risk of these disorders increases with age, retinal vein occlusion most often affects older people.
Blockage of retinal veins may cause other eye problems, including:
Tests to evaluate for vein occlusion include:
Other tests may include:
The health care provider should closely monitor any blockage for several months. Many harmful effects, such as glaucoma, take 3 or more months to develop after the occlusion.
Many people will regain vision, even without treatment. However, vision rarely returns to normal. There is no way to reverse or open the blockage.
You may need treatment to prevent another blockage from forming in the same or the other eye.
It's important to manage diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels. Some patients may receive aspirin or other blood thinners.
Treatment for the complications of retinal vein occlusion may include:
The outcome varies. Patients with retinal vein occlusion often regain useful vision.
It is important to properly manage complications, such as macular edema and glaucoma. However, having either of these complications is more likely to lead to a poor outcome.
Call your health care provider if you have sudden blurring or vision loss.
Retinal vein occlusion is a sign of a general blood vessel (vascular) disease. The same measures used to prevent other blood vessel diseases, such as coronary artery disease, may decrease the risk of retinal vein occlusion.
These measures include:
Aspirin or other blood thinners may help prevent blockages in the other eye.
Controlling diabetes is important in general, and it may also be helpful for preventing retinal vein occlusion.

Hello everyone!
I am curious if you could share your ideas of the perfect bag with me. Doesn't matter if chest pack or rucksack or more traditional kinds...
I'm asking this because I recently lost some of my tools while crawling to a good spot (and I'm heavily doubting if loosing that stuff was worth that nice fish I caught after sneaking through the bushes towards it... well actually it certainly was...) :hihi:
However, now I'm simply looking for a wise hint from you guys.
I'm not looking for a specific product, but am planning to make one myself (a friend of mine owns a company where he produces bags for merchandise, if you wonder how I make one "myself").
So if you ever stood in the water thinking: "A magnetic ply patch on my bag would be perfect now." or "Wow! Magnets are way better than a zip." (for example), I'd appreciate.
Thanks and greetings from Germany, Fariös.
I love the Orvis Sling. Could be any makers sling. Weight is carried on your back and you can cast with no issues and they hold a surprising amount in a compact area.
Also I like that you can snug it up high if you get in deeper water when wading which I do a lot. That's a great feature.

I was very disappointed to read "Does negative press make you Sicko?" at the Google Health Advertising Blog, and the followup post didn't do much to ease my concerns. A large part of why I love working at Google is how seriously we take the philosophy of "don't be evil," and it's not hard to see how some people might conclude from those posts that we're backsliding on that. But what I see on the inside is very encouraging - lots of internal discussion about what the right course of action is, and a strong commitment from people all up and down the community to act on principles rather than just the profit motive.
Don't get me wrong, Google is in the advertising industry. It makes us a lot of money, and we are very good at it. In fact, I think that the type of ads that we do best -- connecting people who are looking for something specific with providers who offer it -- have lots of potential to improve the way healthcare is delivered in this country.
But I cannot agree with Lauren's claim that "advertising is a very democratic and effective way to participate in a public dialogue." I think that depends a lot on the kind of advertising we're talking about. At its best, it can indeed be democratic. Here's an example: it would be well within the reach of the yoga studio where my mom sometimes fills in as an instructor to buy some AdWords on "hypertension" for their local area. Then, when people search on that keyword, they'll see ads for the yoga studio mixed in with those for medications and high-tech hospital facilities for managing hypertension. Perhaps not quite as prominently based on the size of the ad buy, but good enough.
This type of scenario isn't even really competition. Most doctors would be thrilled to see their patients proactively making lifestyle changes to prevent the need for expensive medicines and treatments. At the same time, if you have a serious heart problem, my mom would definitely want you to get good diagnostics done, etc. Different story, of course, if your BP is just a touch high because you're out of shape and a little stressed out, but even in that case the pharmaceutical industry might concede the chase after that particular bit of revenue.
But when the insurance industry runs advertising campaigns to discredit Moore's film, that's not democracy. The imbalance of money is just too dramatic: the health industry runs somewhere north of a trillion dollars, and spends in the ballpark of three billion a year on advertising. By contrast, the production budget on Sicko was something like nine million. Even if you were to agree with every single point made by the insurance industry and disagree entirely with Moore, there's no way this system can be considered democratic.
I think we can all agree that we need a healthy debate about how to best restructure our healthcare system to better meet the needs of Americans. Moore is a master storyteller, and the way he shows the damage wreaked by the healthcare system in people's lives will make you weep. Getting people to sit up and care is an important contribution to the debate, but it isn't enough. As Lauren points out, anecdotes are not a great way to get to accurate information. To have a healthy debate, we need to be looking really intensely at the numbers. In a free society, the insurance companies absolutely should have the chance to present their case as well.
I also think it's just fine for Google to take their ad dollars, as long as we maintain the integrity of our search results. Those really are democratic, and our commitment to those principles runs deep at Google, from the original PageRank algorithm to the Founder's Letters filed with the SEC, through the actions of the engineers and support staff I work with every day.
But, back to ads, I personally do not weep for the insurance companies, and I frankly don't think they need that much help in getting their message across. This opinion is one of many; within the company, there are lots of people with lots of opinions, and a lot of thought about what it means to do the right thing. Where it gets interesting is when there is tension between all these goals, especially between running a company that is "trustworthy and interested in the public good" as well as profitable. In those cases, we have a spirited debate.
In fact, I am now going to reveal one of our most heavily guarded corporate secrets: within Google, Godwin's Law appears to be suspended. Conflicts, even on really sensitive and contentious topics, tend to get treated as misunderstandings and resolved, rather than degenerating into flamewars.
I don't know that we'll always do the right thing as a company, but I do have great faith that we will try our best to figure out what that is. I also know that when I see something wrong, I'll take a stand. This is not just me, but, believe it or not, is enshrined as principle I(d) in our Code of Conduct. For a moneymaking outfit in corporate America today, that's actually pretty amazing, and good enough for me personally. I'm also going to be spending some time over the next few weeks learning about healthcare initiatives within Google, such as Dr. Roni Ziegler's work.
I'd go so far as to say that if the public debates about important issues like healthcare were as well-informed and considerate as the internal discussions I've seen so far at Google, then Michael Moore probably never would have felt the need to make the film Sicko. That would have been something of a shame, because, like Picasso's Guernica, Moore has made great art from the raw material of human suffering on a large scale. Go see it. (*)
*Like everything else in this blog, the movie review represents my personal opinion and does not in any way represent Google's official corporate policy.

3 Eags named College Sports Madness All-Americans
Cheney, WA - The initial NCAA Football Championship Subdivision All-America team for the 2012 season was released by College Sports Madness (collegesportsmadness.com), and three Eagles were named to the team.
Junior wide receiver Brandon Kaufman was selected to the first team, senior defensive end Jerry Ceja was selected to the second team and senior kicker Jimmy Pavel was picked for the third team. Kaufman is from Denver, Colo., and graduated from Heritage High School in 2009, and Ceja is from Aurora, Colo., and graduated the same year from Grandview High School. Pavel, a transfer from Boise State, is from Molalla, Ore., and graduated from Central Catholic High School in 2008.
A year ago, there were nine All-America teams selected, including those by the American Football Coaches Association (to be announced on Dec. 4), The Sports Network, Associated Press and the Walter Camp Football Foundation. Others are College Sporting News, Phil Steele Publications, College Sports Journal and Beyond Sports College Network.
Kaufman has 65 catches for 1,270 yards (19.5 per catch) and 10 touchdowns thus far, including career highs of 10 catches for 192 yards versus Southern Utah on Oct. 27. The first team All-Big Sky performer is coming off a nine-catch, 161-yard performance against Portland State on Nov. 17 in which he had two sensational, highlight-reel catches after tipped balls.
Kaufman has gone over the 100-yard mark eight times this season and 16 times in his career, including career highs of 11 catches for 201 yards (fifth-most in school history) versus Southern Utah on Oct. 27. The 2010 All-American leads the Big Sky and ranks fifth in FCS in receiving yards per game (115.5), and his 10 TD receptions are ninth in FCS.
Because of hand and knee injuries requiring surgery, Kaufman received an injury redshirt in the 2011 season after playing in the first four games of the year. He now has 193 career catches (fifth in school history) for 3,151 yards (third) and 27 touchdowns (fourth).
A second team All-Big Sky selection, Ceja is 11th in FCS and is third in the league with an average of 0.82 sacks per game (total of nine). He has 34 total tackles this season with 11 for loss, and also has four quarterback hurries, two passes broken up and a pair of forced fumbles to help him equal the school record with six in his career.
Ceja is ninth all-time in career sacks with 20 1/2, and is only a half-sack from moving into eighth and 1 1/2 from seventh. Ceja had two sacks versus Montana State on Oct. 13, North Dakota on Oct. 6 and Weber State on Sept. 22. As a team, the Eagles are seventh in the league and 32nd nationally with an average of 2.36 per game.
Pavel, a first team All-Big Sky pick, made a 45-yard field goal against UC Davis on Nov. 10 to equal EWU's single season record of 16 set last year by Mike Jarrett. The field goal also gives EWU 17 for the season, breaking the previous team record of 16 set last year.
An impressive 16-of-17 on the season, Pavel ranks fourth in FCS with an average of 1.45 field goals per game. His .941 percentage is the best in FCS among kickers with at least 11 attempts this season. Pavel made kicks of 45 and 23 yards against Southern Utah on Oct. 27 to improve to 13-of-13 on the year, but missed his first attempt of the season on a 37-yarder that would have broken a 27-27 tie with 2:51 left in the game.
Pavel, who handled kickoff duties a year ago, took over this season for Mike Jarrett, who made a school-record 16 field goals in just 18 attempts as a senior in 2011. Pavel missed his only attempt in the 2011 season, a 52-yarder. Thus, including a field goal Kevin Miller made earlier this season, the Eagles have made 33 of 37 field goal attempts the last two seasons for 89.2 percent.
Pavel has also assumed part of EWU's punting duties the last three games, and currently has a 42.4 average on 12 punts with three downed inside the opponent 20-yard line.

By Sam Mamudi
Shares of J.C. Penney (JCP) spiked to nearly $16.30 a share early this afternoon before settling back a bit; at the latest the retailer's stock is up 2.75%, at $15.88. Here's the chart:
(Click for a larger version.)
That jump may have been due to a repot by The Deal which suggests that big money could be circling round Penney:
Sources said that firms such as Apollo Global Management LLC and Leonard Green & Partners LP are studying a potential buyout of J.C. Penney. Firms such as these could provide the kind of capital injection J.C. Penney would need to complete its transformation.
J.C. Penney said it wouldn't comment on market rumor or speculation…Apollo and Leonard Green didn't return calls seeking comment.
Of course Penney is also in the news today for its courtroom battle with Macy's (M) over Martha Stewart products:
After a month-long mediation effort failed to yield a settlement, the trial resumed in New York state court over whether Macy's has an exclusive right to sell certain Martha Stewart home goods products.
The legal battle has hampered a key part of turnaround plans for Penney, which opened the first of its in-store home goods boutiques last week for designers Jonathan Adler and Michael Graves, and plans to open Martha Stewart shops in the coming weeks.

Page was immediately thrust in the position to take over for Collins and it was already the Month of May at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
His debut as Collins' replacement, however, came in perhaps the most historic Month of May in Indy 500 history as three things changed the race forever. Tom Sneva became the first driver to top the 200 mph mark in qualifications; Janet Guthrie became the first female driver to make 33-driver starting lineup and A.J. Foyt became the first four-time winner of the Indianapolis 500.
"If you are going to be given that opportunity and screw it up you ought not to be there," Page recalled of his first Indy 500 as the "Voice."
"It was really hard in one way because it had only been three weeks since Sid died and the whole team was depressed but that race gave us something to get ahold of and do something remarkable with to tribute Sid," Page continued. "The historical circumstances did that for us. Who would have ever guessed any of those things would have come true?
"Everything about it turned out to be a perfect race."
Indy 500 fans quickly took to Page's dramatic voice and delivery. Page would make some of the most famous calls in the history of the race including Gordon Johncock's dramatic duel with Rick Mears in the 1982 Indianapolis 500 – at that time was the closest finish in the history of the race.
The Indianapolis Radio Network showcased the big names of sports announcers from around the state of Indiana – a homegrown collection of talent.
"It was quite an honor," Page said. "It was very prestigious to become part of that. Sid told me they didn't choose announcers for their status in the community and didn't necessarily choose sports announcers. What they did choose were announcers with tremendous reportorial skills and an absolute passion for the Indianapolis 500."
Page was quite comfortable as the "Voice of the Indianapolis 500" and also working as a sports broadcaster for NBC Sports calling CART races for "Sports World" and also a play-by-play announcer for NBC's coverage of the National Football League.
He would remain in that role until 1988 when ABC offered him the lead position for its telecast of the Indianapolis 500 as well as other CART races on the network.
"Going to ABC was at the request of the best interests of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway," Page said. "It was very significant to me that after I joined in 1988 and 1989 we won the Emmy for Best Sports Special. I was very proud of that."

A good post:
Brigitte Bardot was so unbearably sexy. I can't even stand it. I have officially determined that it is impossible for me to determine what my sexuality is. I even hate the term pansexual. It's so rare these days that I like a person enough to actually be  with them and fuck them, so to ultimately define who or what I like and say yes, this is definite is so hard for me. It's really quite rare that I feel comfortable enough to officially go there, do the relationship thing. And it's never based on sex or parts. I don't like a certain sex. I like people. Certain people. Only certain people. People who I respect. Who respect me back. Who aren't assholes. You know. People. I'm very sexual, but I don't act on it unless I like the person. And I don't feel like labeling that at all. I think we all love all kinds of people, men and women alike. So. You know. Fuck that, fuck me, fuck together. All that's beautiful. Anna and I got all ghetto fab last night and went to a Missy Elliot themed party. Then I went out around to places today. I wore about three different outfits today. I'm actually ricockulously excited to move into the apartment. I just need to work on getting you to come with me. My obsession with bruises is growing so quickly. I have also officially decided that my new dream in life is to become an epic Casio keyboard playing prodigy. Who is also a paralegal on the side. ......

My thanks go out to Bikerscout for the Spacetrooper stash.
My thanks go out to Bikerscout for the Spacetrooper stash.
Ur welcome Maradona.
quick report: baldwin walmart -- island of tvc for Blu release, mostly wave 5. Stormies were not updated versions. Lame! Think they had a LC ironhide for tf.
Baldwin target -- nothing good iirc
Rosemead wally -- those of u in my phone got the pix of the marvel 16" sentinel!!!!! Cool box, although they weren't mint. "try me" covers torn. No island for tvc, but u should look for it if ur nearby in next few days. They had a smattering of wave 5 & older junk
I got that text, Bikerscout. It was my first MMS text on the new phone.
Thanks to Bikerscout for the stash on the TFU figs (the man is hooking everyone up these days). There are still lots and lots at Los Feliz TRU. That and the Rebel Commando set.
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
Ur welcome guys. This is what the network is all about. I was looking for a tvc Zam but no such luck. Glad the BPs are finally hitting & on sale to boot. The only reason I didn't get TFU bp was b/c JT picked one up already. I'm very tempted on the Rep. Commandos but I have the old set and can't splurge right now. If by some miracle they get cut to a crazy clearance price maybe I'll pick one up. What sucks is that the first TFU bps never got clearanced nor went to Ross or TJ Maxx. Why is that? (And why can't i find a decent sale on peanut M&Ms?!?! Everywhere has them for $3-4!! Used to find them much much lower)
oh --if anyone see one of the SW bluray themed island filled with TVC at walmart & u spot a Zam, could u stash? Thanks. They stuff at least 4 or 5 cases into these I bet
edit: I forgot to mention that on the LF TRU yesterday I saw the TF Rage over Cybertron 3 pack. Includes dlx WFC Prime, Megs and BB. Different deco on each. Two of em. Didn't see price.
Last edited by bikerscout; 09-14-2011 at 02:29 AM. Reason: tf
I don't think TRU ever sends their clearance to liquidators. Their infrastructure is dedicated to toys, so unlike WM and Target, they don't have to share back room space with dozens of other departments, so they can hold onto shipments of TFU multipacks until they sell through, no matter how slowly. And those previous TFU sets have sold through, for the most part. It's also why TRUs are so disgusting though, they hang onto all manner of junk long after its market value has plummeted and has become beat up and dusty.
The Republic Commando set annoys me. Basically, this is the set they SHOULD have done last time, and I could barely tell the difference at first.
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.
I've found TRU exclusives at Marshalls and Tuesday Morning. I'm not sure if they came from TRU or the manufacturer, though (the ones at TM had no TRU stickers, and the ones at Marshalls I also saw at the Mattel Store with the "R Exclusive" blacked out).

Our Town (2010)
ACT I: Daily Life
STAGE MANAGER: "Y'know—Babylon once had two million people in it, and all we know about 'em is the names of the kings and some copies of wheat contracts . . . and contracts for the sale of slaves. Yet every night all those families sat down to supper, and the father came home from his work, and the smoke went up the chimney, — same as here . . . this is the way we were . . . in our growing up and in our marrying and in our living and in our dying . . ."
On an early morning in late spring, our play, our story, Our Town, begins. In a little town, between several majestic trees, drenched in the smell of heliotrope, the stories of 2,642 citizens begin and end. Among them is the story of Mrs. Gibbs, who dreams of traveling to another country. Her young neighbor, Emily Webb, wonders, "Am I pretty enough . . . to get anybody . . . to get people interested in me?" Dr. Gibbs, Mrs. Gibbs' husband of many years, struggles to help his son, George, to grow into a responsible young man. George toils over his math homework. Even Constable Warren concerns himself with the fate of the town drunk. These are the characters of Our Town, as introduced to us in "Grover's Corners; Sutton County; New Hampshire; United States of America; Continent of North America; Western Hemisphere; the Earth; the Solar System; the Universe; the Mind of God." And yet, their dreams, their hopes, and their conversations around the dinner table seem not so different from our own.
ACT II: Love and Marriage
GEORGE: "So I guess this is an important talk we've been having." On the morning of his wedding, George Gibbs is a bundle of energy. His bride-to-be, Emily Webb, is fast asleep in her bed next door. The sun has risen and set many times since we last encountered these two young residents of Grover's Corners and the rest of its inhabitants. Everyone in town is in preparation for the marriage-to-be, and each approaches the impending ceremony with varying emotions, excitements and fears. Regardless of their tears, their joys and their toils, however, all seem aware of the significance of this event, that part of the circle of life that "almost everybody in the world" takes part in someday, or so the Stage Manager says. Emily and George find in one another someone with whom each can be honest about their hopes and dreams, with whom thousands of conversations can be held, and with whom they won't be lonely. And what can be happier than that?
ACT III: Death and Beyond
STAGE MANAGER: "Now there are some things we all know, but we don't take'm out and look at'm very often. We all know that something is eternal. And it ain't houses and it ain't names, and it ain't earth, and it ain't even the stars ... everybody knows in their bones that something is eternal, and that something has to do with human beings. All the greatest people ever lived have been telling us that for five thousand years and yet you'd be surprised how people are always losing hold of it. There's something way down deep that's eternal about every human being."
Some time has passed since the wedding of Emily and George, and though much has progressed, the Stage Manager recounts, "on the whole, things don't change much around here." At the cemetery, a new plot has been dug. The newly deceased is Emily Webb, having died of complications during the birth of her second child with George. Emily watches her own funeral take place in the company of those other spirits who have been "weaned from the earth," including her mother-in-law, Mrs. Gibbs. Emily questions the nature of whence she came, what she is now and then, and whether or not she should go back. She revisits a special moment of her childhood. She stands by transfixed as George visits her grave. And, somewhere along the line, Emily realizes something about life that she says could never have been realized during life. Sleep comes over Grover's Corners, the stars continue their "old crisscross journeys in the sky," and time moves on, as it always does.
