The Hawk Mascot
The Press Club at Monmouth College held a student campaign in 1939 to pick an athletic nickname. A long list of entrants was cut to 15; suggestions included the Bearcats, Bees, Bisons, Commuters, Orange Fliers, Trojans, MaJiCians, EmJaCees, and Nighthawks. Through a ballot, students nominated Nighthawks, EmJaCees, and MaJiCians. Monmouth athletic teams became Nighthawks by a margin of six votes. When the school entered into daytime ranks in 1956, the name was shortened to Hawks. The Hawk mascot and logo received a makeover in 2003. With school spirit at an all-time high, Monmouth's updated Hawk contributes to the excitement, giving fans a sense of pride and another reason to support athletics.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|im not sure exactly but im scheduled from 8a-5p everyday. training week starts on tuesday so ill prob find out then
|Cro, do you know what time the on snow stops in the afternoon this summer? We usually hike up in the afternoons to snake some laps.
|Camp of Champions course
Woodward West is actually different from Woodward Tahoe. West is in Tehachapi, CA I think while Tahoe is in North Lake Tahoe obviously. We also have a Woodward Copper here in Colo which is pretty awesome in my opinion.
The snow program at east isn't the best considering there is zero snow but it's still a fun experience for anyone really especially a kid. Lots of activities and a ton of other kids to hang out with since there's all kinds of programs, not just snow.
When I worked at east a few summers ago we pretty much hit the trampolines every morning to warm up/stretch, practice spins and such for about an hour. Then they can go do whatever till about noon-ish when we go to one of the indoor foam pits and use the "park boards" for another hour give or take. Then they get lunch and have the rest of the day to do whatever with new made friends. Once a week we will also set up a box on a carpet with snow gel on it and another day once a week we go to the big air bag jump outside and take the park boards to that. The park board if you havent heard of them before are basically smaller snowboards with wheels around the edges so we can ride down a regular skate/BMX ramp into a foam pit and practice spins, flips or grabs. As far as I know we have these at Woodward East, Copper and Tahoe. Not sure about West.
This summer I'm working at Copper and we have A LOT of new stuff thats gonna make this summer awesome. New surface lift in the park so no more hiking and van rides to the top, new air bag, and we have a TON of snow left over from this winter to set up cool features. Both Copper and Tahoe have "barns" (in tahoe they call it the bunker) with indoor trampolines, skate ramps and foam pits for everything which we also use during the camps when not on snow to help get kids more comfortable throwing a trick before taking it to snow.
We also usually have discounts here at Copper for the summer if you book in advance, so something to think about for next summer.
$1100 is relatively cheap. Woodward Tahoe(sorry copper) is the best one for snowsports with barn and solid on snow action. East is best for skating. West is ok for all, not best at any. I have visited all the locations.
Sorry, meant to say Woodward copper was best for on snow. Tahoe had sucked the past couple of years for on snow but they have a great skate park, long board course and dirt jump course.
Summer Snowboarding Camp for Kids
My 11 year old daughter asked this morning if there were any summer snowboarding camps she could attend. I did some Googling, and found, "Camp Woodward." It's about three hours away from Philly. There's a sister camp in Tahoe, I think. The PA one is Woodward East, the other, Woodward West.
Just wanted to let others know about this place. It's not cheap, at ~$1100/ week, but that includes lodging for the week, meals, instruction, and tons of other cool sounding activities.
They have camps focused on:
Video Production
Music Recording
The snowboarding camp is all done on dry land, but still looks like it could really help one improve.
We can't do it this summer, as we've already booked other camps, but might consider it for next year. They have scholarships available, too.
They also tout the fact that some pros in the various sports come to the camp, or did when they were younger, and that pros are in attendance during the camps to help out and interact with the kids.
Here's a link to the web site:

My sister's birthday is Aug 16, the day Elvis died.
I share a birthday with MLK, Jr. And GIK and Boss. And Jerry Narron. back in the old days, they played SuperBowls on my birthday.
My mom shared a birthday with Johnny Carson and that's also the day the Military Housing was bombed in Beruit.
How about you?

Ok guys, I saw this Game on a BMW forum and thought it was great so wanted to share it here. Basically its we take pictures of our cars in funny situation or in dares that we give eachother. The first one to get it right wins a point and then can give the next dare. Everyone can try to do the dare but the first one to get it done wins.
Example: 337/20th/GLI in front of a McDonalds-You get it done (you must submit picture of YOUR car in it and it HAS to be recent). Then YOU say a picture of a homeless guy holding an VwVortex.com sign on a piece of cardboard next to your car.
Heres the links to the bmw forum i am on that are doing this game right now and it is hilarious and EXTREMELY fun!!!
So I am on another forum where this turned into a pretty cool thread. Knowing some of the members here I'd imagine it could get pretty awesome pretty quickly.
How to play:
Pick a person, place, or thing to take a picture with that has an 337/20th/GLI in it. The first person who responds with the picture that satisfies the request gets to pick the next request.
Note: please try to make the requests do-able so that the game can continue.
1) No photochop. (shop, yes. chop, no).
2) Please only post pictures of YOUR 337/20th/GLI this way you will actually have to go out and take a picture if necessary (or if you've got the time..which, judging by some of the posts counts here... I think some of us do. )
3)No dupes - let's be creative.
4) If you are the poster who meets the picture challenge, please put your next request in a BOLD font so it's easy to find.
5) IF the challenge isn't met within 2 days the person who put the challenge up then has 24 hours to complete the challenge themselves. If they cannot complete their own challenge, they are docked one point and then pick a new challenge.
6)No challenge is to be made that involves any of the following:
* illegal activities (this includes, but is not limited to: guns, drugs, street racing, thievery, and sexual activities involving minors).
* currency (the participants of this game will not be limited to those with immediate access to large amounts of funds. There is one thing that we each share, regardless of the size of our bank accounts - and that is the fact that we each drive some flavor of one of the greatest cars ever made.)
* Destruction of one's own property or any piece of public property
Once a challenge has been satisfied, the user who met the challenge should post the picture in the 337/20th/GLI Picture Game Thread
Again, as a forum of enthusiasts, this list of rules is growing and becoming more clear as time goes on. Please let me know if there are additional changes that the community feels would be beneficial to keeping this game going.
Mods - I feel like this is more of a general discussion/participation thing so I didn't put it in member photos. If you disagree, feel free to move.
so, the first request (and starting as easy as possible!):
A 337/20th/GLI in a Driveway

Pennsbury Junior Named Bucks County High School Poet of the Year
Devin Kawailani Barricklow of Yardley rose to the top of more than 100 entrants in the 27th annual contest.
Devin Kawailani Barricklow, a junior at Pennsbury High School, has been named the 2014 Bucks County High School Poet of the Year, officials at Bucks County Community College announced. The Yardley resident rose to the top of 104 entries to win the 27th annual contest, part of the Bucks County Poet Laureate Program administered by the college.
Barricklow, who was named a finalist last year, won a $300 prize and was honored at a poetry reading May 18 on the college's Newtown campus. She was joined by runners-up and finalists in a celebration of young poets from across Bucks County. An anthology containing the winning poems and a poem from each entrant, Writes of Passage Vol. 4, was distributed to those in attendance.
Barricklow (pictured; photo by Katia Barricklow) said she has grown up surrounded by literature, and has been writing since she was about five years old.
"My grandfather was an English professor at Rider [University] for many years, and his appreciation for poetry has really opened my eyes," recalled Barricklow. "I'll never forget when he read 'Hurt Hawks' by Robinson Jeffers to my fourth-grade class; he got this sparkle in his eye that made me realize just how important it was to him."
In addition, writing is greatly valued in her family and viewed as a gift. "On birthdays, in addition to presents, we read poems aloud to one another," she added.
"[Writing] appeals to me because you can take really complicated emotions and experiences, and communicate them in a way that might not have made as much sense otherwise," she said. "Even though it can be frustrating to write poetry at times, I think that if my poems can reach even one person, and help them to process their own emotions and feel validated, then it's worth it. That's why I write."
Barricklow said she's checking out colleges to decide where to apply. She's interested in studying politics, psychology or biology, and plans to continue writing poetry throughout her life.
Contest judges were the current and most recent Bucks County Poets Laureate, Alexa Gutter (2013) and Lara Adams Gaydos (2012).
"These poems shine in their capacity to house so much emotion while maintaining an economy of language," Gutter noted. "A wise and inquisitive voice comes through in these limpid poems."
Gaydos had similar praise for Barricklow's work.
"These poems echo and ache with all those unexpected difficult moments encountered within a family, moments that might seem as tiny as pin holes at first, yet are still powerful enough to suddenly slam into the drywall of the page," Gaydos said.
The judges also chose three runners-up. They are Central Bucks High School East junior Erin Farrell, first runner-up; George School senior Sophie Myles, second runner-up; and C.B. West senior Isabel Cleff, third runner-up.
The 27th annual High School Poet of the Year contest is another way that Bucks County Community College contributes to the cultural heritage of the region. To learn more, visit www.bucks.edu/poets or call the Dept. of Language and Literature at 215-968-8150.
Entropy of the Hotpot
For Gary
My Grandfather stares at the bibimbap dish below,
crispy rice and hot cucumbersthat I don't quite understand.
he thinks
—out loud, of course—
that it is too hot;
he wants the entropy of the hotpot in
the crowded restaurant.
my tongue is sore from eating—
but what isn't these days?
my belly is at least full with rice
that has not yet cooled
A Hole in Our Drywall
funny, how
spackling was always
your favorite chore
you loved to spread the stuff on the pinholes in our walls,
all we have to do now is sand it
we paved over the nicks
in the stairwell together; life's tears as
dusty little bullet marks
once, our front door knob slammed
through the cheap drywall and
you said, well,
now we get to do some more spackling.
we brought it fresh from the container
but the hole was huge
it just consumed the stuff and
politely asked for more
an amused voidwhat a chore

Question: Are huskie dogs still used in Antarctica? If not, when and why did their use cease? Answer: No, the last huskies were removed from Antarctica in December 1993.
The first huskies taken to Antarctica were part of the British Antarctic Expedition of 1898-1900. Huskies are well suited to Antarctic conditions – they have thick, double-layered fur coats and, having been bred in Greenland and Labrador, they are used to working in ice, cold and wind.
Huskies are hard-working and loyal dogs. In Antarctica they were primarily used to pull sledges; when attached to a harness huskies are able to haul 50-90 kilograms each. Huskies were also a valued source of companionship for the people working in the isolated and lonely conditions of Antarctic bases.
In 1954 Australia set up its first permanent research base in Antarctica, the Mawson research station. Huskies were a continuous presence on this base for almost 40 years. Introduced species were banned in Antarctica in 1964. The ponies were removed at this time, but an exception was made for huskies because they were considered to be essential for transporting scientists and their equipment.
In 1991 Australia signed the Madrid Protocol which bans all non-indigenous species (except humans) in Antarctica and in December 1993 the last huskies were removed from the Mawson research station. The younger dogs were sent to Minnesota, USA, where they continued their working lives. The older dogs were sent back to Australia to enter retirement.
Many Antarctic researchers and support staff were deeply saddened by the decision to remove huskies from Antarctica. However, they could not dispute the reasons behind the decision. Introduced species have the potential to transmit diseases to the local fauna and motorised sledges had made working dogs all but redundant in Antarctica.
Two of these last older huskies, Morrie and Ursa, are now on display at the Melbourne Museum as part of our International Polar Year display.
Hi Olivia, thanks for your question - I've referred your query to the Museum's Curator for Science Communication for his advice - we'll get back to you soon with some information.
Hi Olivia, we have heard back from the Science Curator and he has advised that there were concerns about the huskies attacking penguins and introducing diseases.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

Student at elite NYC high school caught using cell phone to copy state exam
posted at 1:48 pm on June 27, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
This is clearly not how modern electronics were meant to be used in our nation's classrooms.
A junior at New York City's prestigious Stuyvesant High School has been expelled for cheating, if in a manner emblematic of the age of the high technology. The student, Nayeem Ahsan, allegedly used a cell phone camera to photograph the statewide Regents exams in Spanish, physics, and English. He is also accused of sending copies of the test and answers to more than 50 students, who are now under investigation by the city Education Department.
An online petition demanding Ahsan's reinstatement misspelled the name of the school "Stuyesant," which speaks poorly of teens enrolled at an elite high school that accepts only the cream of the crop among middle school graduates. The fact that those seeking admission are required to pass a rigorous exam in math and English calls into question why Ahsan would need to cheat on the Regents, a standardized test that brighter students generally breeze through.
On Wednesday, the New York Post published an interview with Ahsan's father, who maintains that the 16-year-old is "a brainiac who earned a 2280 out of 2400 on his SATs." Najmul Ahsan claims that his son is under enormous stress "because doctors fear [he may] have cancer and because he was robbed at an Astoria, Queens, subway station last month."
My son couldn't continue to study as diligently as he used to. He said it's been incredibly difficult to keep up with his studies, and so he became desperate. He was desperate to save his grades from slipping.
Each year, "Stuy" ships off its graduates to the nation's top universities. The school also invariably places high in the annual Intel competition for scientific achievement, claiming third place in this year's running.
The scandal is the second in recent months to involve a prestigious school in the greater New York area. Great Neck North High School, on Long Island, was implicated along with several others last November in an embarrassing scam in which an alumnus admitted to taking SATs for a fee in place of graduating students. The cheater, Sam Eshaghoff, was charged with fraud and criminal impersonation but got off easy, sentenced to community service tutoring underprivileged children.
Random facts: In its coverage of the current scandal, the Daily News notes that the "alumni rolls read like a who's who of nationally recognized achievers," then points out that two of the more notable graduates are U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and White House advisor David Axelrod. Another alumnus, Ronald Poppo, made headlines recently when 80% of his face was chewed off in Miami by another man who, like him, was homeless and living on the street.

On the money
[Apology: Thanks to a work crisis of biblical proportions, I could not make SeaGL this past weekend. My apologies go to anyone who was expecting to see me — for reasons good or ill — and I promise you that I will be there next year.]
You have to hand it to Rwanda. Not only does the East African nation put its money where it's mouth is when it comes to educating its children using the One Laptop Per Child XO laptop, they also put the XO on their money, shown above on the 500-franc note.
In talking to San Francisco State University's Sameer Verma, one of the leaders of the OLPC-SF group which organizes the annual OLPC summit this upcoming weekend in San Francisco, he says that the Rwanda project is at 220,000 machines and growing, and they are doing it well.
In fact, they're doing it so well that the government of neighboring Kenya is taking a look at the program that the Rwandans have already established in an effort to emulate it, which they plan to do next year, according to the linked article.
Meanwhile, back in the states, the OLPC Summit is scheduled for Oct. 18-20 at the SFSU Downtown Campus on Market Street. You can register here, and if you can't go and want to help someone else to go, you can donate there as well. But if you have a chance to go, you should make it there.
Also on the radar this week:
Rumors of its demise . . . : Jim Lynch of IT World wrote an item mentioning the demise of Medibuntu with the click-grabbing headline, "A harbinger of doom for Ubuntu?"
Pffffft. Seriously, who's writing the headlines over there?
First, I had to look up Medibuntu — is it an Ubuntu spin for medical professionals? — before finding that it's a spin for "media, entertainment and distractions." In his defense, Lynch also writes in the article that it would not make much of a difference to Ubuntu if Medibuntu goes away, since most of what is found on it can also be found Ubuntu itself.
But let's be careful with that "harbinger of doom" thing, OK? Had it been a *buntu that begins with an X or a K, then we'd have to call all hands on deck. But this? Nope. Not even close.
Larry l'uomo Software Libero in italiano: For those of you who speak Italian, there's a new Free/Open Source Software blog called Magliettabianca which presented me the honor of an interview — a two-part interview, no less! — this week on their site. Part two comes up next week, hopefully, and if you don't speak Italian, not to worry: The English translation (or I should say the original English interview) can be found here (yes, I know it's "wide range," not "ride range" — my typo). Let me say to the team members I know, Edoardo Maria Elidoro and Marco "Milozzy" Milone — and to the rest of the team: Alessio "Alfierenero" Perona, Davide Cipolla, Diego Pi, Elisa Peroni, Enrico "Magliettabianca" Bastelli, Fanfurlio Farolfi, Federico Di Pierro, Gaetano Di Bari, Mario Calabrese, Massimiliano Donini, Stefano Bergamini — "grazie mille a tutti" for the honor of appearing on what looks like an excellent new on-line publication for Italian FOSS advocates. Keep up the great work!
Off to Felton LUG. See you next Sunday, if not sooner.

Good news from the Northwest
First things first: The Seattle GNU/Linux Conference — or SeaGL as it's known to all — takes place this week at Seattle Central Community College, Oct. 11-12. If you're within driving distance (yes, the 14 hours it takes me to drive to Seattle counts — as if I really need an excuse to go to the Northwest), you should make it to the last show of the year, before the FOSS community ramps it up again on this continent with SCALE 12X in February.
Also, looking northward, we got some good news this week from our friends in beautiful downtown Corvallis, Oregon.
The Oregon State University Open Source Lab — their servers are home to just about every Free/Open Source Software program on the planet and, at one time or another, you would have downloaded something from them — joins the ranks of academia at the college, according to an article in on The Oregonian web page this week.
According to the article, OSU OSL moves "from a services role within the university into an academic department as part of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The switch will raise the Corvallis lab's profile and involve dozens more students every year in a program that helped make Oregon a global hub for open source activity."
Not bad for 10 years of providing great software, not to mention great services to the school and experience for those who have worked in the lab and have gone on to better things.
Lab chief Lance Albertson, who I think is one of the unsung heroes of FOSS, and the folks at the Open Source Lab have always done a great job over the last decade, most of the time under the radar — without fanfare, but with a great attitude and work ethic that has always promoted the most positive aspects of FOSS.
So a hearty congrats to OSU OSL for joining the realm of the educators — not that you weren't already — and down a glass of champagne for yours truly when celebrating this remarkable accomplisment.
See you in Seattle on Thursday for SeaGL.

A tale of two expos
[First things first: A huge get-well-soon to my good friend and Portales, New Mexico, Linux stalwart Bob McKeand, the indefatigable "Colonel Panik," who is recovering at home now after a short hospital stay. Here's to hoping that Portales LUG meetings at the Do Drop Inn — yes, that's the real name — will commence again shortly.]
Those of us living out here in the West have it good.
Other shows have taken root and blossomed in other parts of the country, like Texas Linux Fest at the end of May, Ohio Linux Fest in Columbus in September and SouthEast LinuxFest (SELF: Linux in the GNU/South) in Charlotte, N.C., in mid-June. But the best Linux/FOSS expos are here on the Pacific side of the continent: In order of annual appearance, we have the Southern California Linux Expo — everyone knows it as SCALE — in Los Angeles starting off the year, Linux Fest Northwest (LFNW) up in Bellingham, Washington, in the spring, and the O'Reilly Open Source Conference — better known as OSCON — in Portland, Oregon, in the summer. We're going to talk about one of those below, though all these FOSS events around the country are must-attend events, and if you can make one or more of them, you should.
We have another one to add to the mix, but we're getting ahead of the story.
Just after Ohio Linux Fest wrapped up a few weeks ago, the folks at SCALE 12X put into focus yet again the preparations for the 2014 show, to be held on Feb. 21-23 at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport hotel. The Call for Papers just went out, and much of the other pre-preparation activities are in full swing as the annual work to put on the biggest community-driven Linux/FOSS show in North America is now underway.
It is a huge source of pride, and a job I look forward to every year, to work on the SCALE Team. I am the publicity chairperson for the show, and while we have a lot in store, publicity-wise, for 12X, every year that I've been involved (since SCALE 8X) I'm awed at how a group of strong-willed people driven by a passion for FOSS come together and make this happen every year.
Like clockwork, the SCALE Team displays what great feats a dedicated group of people can produce year in and year out. So when you come to SCALE, over 100 booths await you on the exhibit floor and over 80 sessions are available for you to attend over the three days of the event. Sure there are more than last year, and more than the year before, and that's a testament of both the show's, and FOSS's, growth and staying power.
But as I mentioned earlier, this is a tale of two expos: SCALE and another, a new kid on the block.
Some folks in the Puget Sound region of Seattle seem to think that having one great show — LFNW — in the Pacific Northwest is nice, but it's not enough for the area. So they've taken a chunk out of the impending fall and winter between OLF and SCALE to host their own show, the 2013 Seattle GNU/Linux Conference — or SeaGL (and I'm assuming that's pronounced "seagull").
The two-day event will be held at Seattle Central Community College on Oct. 11-12. Of course, you may see a familiar name giving a presentation on Friday at 4 p.m. on CrunchBang. But there are far better speakers on the schedule than yours truly — I'm going to try to make it to both of Jesse Keating's Git presentations as well as to Deb Nicholson's "Delegate Like a Boss" talk — and from the outset, the inaugural SeaGL looks to be a promising springboard for future shows in the years to come.
SeaGL is at their own starting line, a point where SCALE was once 12 years ago. Hopefully, a dozen years from now (if not sooner), SeaGL will be where SCALE is today — with a hundred exhibitors and more speakers than you can listen to at one time.
If current trends persist, and if the staff at SeaGL is up to the task, there's no reason why we can't go to Seattle every October from here on in, just as we go to Los Angeles every February, Bellingham every April, Texas and Charlotte in May and June respectively, Portland every July, and Columbus every September.
See you at the conference.

Back in the saddle again
A few of you e-mailed me and/or pinged me on IRC last week and said, "Hey, Larry the Free Etc., where's the blog?" Sad to say, a variety of things kept it from happening last week — apologies all around — so I hope to make up for it with the outstanding piece of literature that currently graces your screen.
Included in these happenings that kept me from doing a lot of things I normally do, like blog for example, are the following: Software Freedom Day went off without a hitch around the planet, and I'm going to touch on that next week as the tales of great feats filter in and will be regaled at that time; and we started the AFE School's first Python for Web Development class, which went well.
But more importantly, getting to this week's more important announcements and observations, we have this:
Game on! The SCALE 12X Call for Papers is open. Last year, we turned it up to 11. This year, it's an even dozen. The 12th annual Southern California Linux Expo – SCALE 12X – takes place on Feb. 21-23, 2014, at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport hotel.
The first-of-the-year Linux/Open Source software expo in North America – and the largest annual community-run Free/Open Source Software conference on that continent – SCALE 12X expects to host more than 100 exhibitors this year, along with nearly 100 sessions, tutorials and special events (if memory serves, there were 96 last year).
You have options at SCALE 12X, like presenting — see CFP above — or attending, with the same hotel discounts available this year as every year (registration opens tomorrow); or sponroring and/or exhibiting, with sponsors and corporate exhibitors contacting firstname.lastname@example.com, and dot-orgs contacting email@example.com. Also, you can get involved by volunteering — e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
But if you can't wait until February . . . .
SeaGL flies in Seattle: Silly Pacific Northwesterners . . . it's not enough to have one great show in the region in Linux Fest Northwest in Bellingham, Washington. Nope, there's an encore — FOSS advocates in Seattle want to bring that springtime Bellingham goodness down to the Puget Sound area by forming their own second regional show for a FOSS-starved area in Microsoft's backyard. It's called the Seattle GNU/Linux Conference, or SeaGL (I'm going out on a limb and assuming that's pronounced "seagull"). Yours truly will be giving a talk there on Friday (on CrunchBang, of course), and thanks to these guys and gals for wrapping up the expo year with a show in my favorite area of the country.
If you're nearby, come on over to Seattle Central Community College on Oct 11-12. Even if you're not, come anyway.
Thanks, Gabe: "It feels a little bit funny coming here and telling you guys that Linux and open source are the future of gaming," said Valve co-founder and managing director Gabe Newell said at LinuxCon in New Orleans last week. "It's sort of like going to Rome and teaching Catholicism to the pope."
According to various reports, including this one from Ars Technica, Newell acknowledged that while Linux gaming generally accounts for less than one percent of the market by any measure, Valve is going to do its best to make sure Linux becomes the future of gaming by extending its Steam distribution platform to hardware designed for living rooms.
Wow. Now that's a huge boost for wider acceptance of Linux, clealry eclipsing by a light-year or two a nonexistent, community-funded super-ultra-mega-smartphone. Further, no Indiegogo donations were harmed in the making of this revelation.
See you next Sunday, if not earlier. Honest.

So whos cooler and why, Jango or Boba?

So whos cooler and why, Jango or Boba?
Awwww man, you really want to start something??? :) So do you like the shinyness of metal armor or the grunge of Boba?
They are both cool in different ways...
Aren't they the same person?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You will find that many things in life depend upon your point of view.
I think Boba is cooler, but I built Jango for some reason.
Boba looked cool, Jango was cool:thumbsup
The reason I did Jango was the mistaken idea that Jango would be easier to do than Boba. So I started and realized different.
Boba is cooler because......well it sounds likes spurs when he walks, what more could you need. Although Boba really is just Jango V2.
I love the original trilogy.. therefore Boba for me!
Theyre both pretty cowboy like, considering jangos duel westars are very revolver like, especially with his holsters.
Boba, just because I like the original movies better.
Boba was too Jaded due to his loss. Everyone loves him cuz his the ruddy bad boy all beat up and scarred. But Jango did it right. Rich as hell with all new equipment because of his success...he was truly pimp and original. The man has style and honor. Don't get me started on how a Jedi beat him...
We all know that Mace cheated. He had to let an animal run Jango over to take out the jetpack, otherwise Mace would have ended up like ol Trebor whats his name.
ive been trying to decide which would be more fun and cost efficient to make...
There is a paradox with Boba and Jango: without Boba Jango were never created, and without Jango there wasn't Boba... How about that?
I like Boba's armor and overall looks better than Jango's. But I have to admit, Jango is actually more bada** than Boba. At least we get to see him to stuff, while Boba just sticks in the background and then falls to the Sarlacc. But maybe that's reason enough to like Boba better. He's that quiet, mysterious type.
Lol, no, it's impossible to choose!
The cool thing about Boba is u never see his face. So it could be any of us ( well almost).
For me its always Boba Fett. I`ve always been a fan of Boba ever since I first saw him and Collect mostly Boba collectibles. Im sort of Boba Fett obsessed.
Boba Fett for living through the sarlacc.
Jango didn't have to work much for his money, and Boba did (comparatively).
They were both ballin' though.
Really didn't like Boba in the beginning, loved jango first time i saw him. But afterwards i had a whole new respect for Boba. Tie in my opinion
Boba Fett ^_^

Ursula Smith works in the natural sciences collections at Museum Victoria. Though a palaeontologist by training she finds all the collections fascinating and swings between excitement at all the cool stuff in them and despair at the lack of time to look at it all.
Museums make it possible to see specimens from faraway places that you won't get the chance to visit yourself. And it doesn't get much further away than the Moon – a piece of which we've received on long-term loan from NASA for display in Dynamic Earth. It was installed just this morning.

It's a small piece cut from a larger rock, lunar rock 15555, dubbed 'The Great Scott' after Commander David Scott who collected it during the Apollo 15 Lunar Mission in July 1971. Its specially-built glass case is filled with nitrogen to protect the rock from Earth's atmosphere.
Moon rock is incredibly rare - we have not quite 800kg in total on Earth, which is lighter than an average family car. It's also incredibly important because of what it can tell us about the Moon's formation.
The Great Scott is a basalt formed from a volcanic eruption. It's similar to basalts found on Earth, being composed of silicate minerals such as olivine, pyroxene and plagioclase, except that basalts from the Moon lack water.

The Great Scott is 3.3 billion years old and has been sitting on the surface of the Moon for 80 million years, since long before the dinosaurs went extinct! We can tell this by measuring how long its minerals have been exposed to cosmic radiation. The rock still looks amazingly fresh because the Moon has no atmosphere, meaning very little weathering has occurred.
Apollo 15 was the fourth of the Apollo missions to land on the Moon and the first to involve significant geological training for the crew.

The landing site for Apollo 15, Mare Imbrium, was selected specifically to allow investigation of three different landscape features: a mare basin, a mountain front and a lunar rille. Mare Imbrium is so large that it's visible to the naked eye from Earth. It was hoped that Apollo 15 would be able to collect Pre-Imbrian material – rock exposed or thrown out by the impact that formed the enormous crater.

Another of the primary goals of the Apollo 15 mission was an examination of Hadley Rille, a channel-like depression in the lunar surface. During their three-day stay on the Moon, Scott and Irwin traversed over 28km in the lunar rover – the first time a vehicle had been driven on the Moon's surface.
At Hadley Rille they collected a large proportion of the rocks that were brought back to Earth, including Apollo 15555. Weighing 9.6kg on Earth, the rock weighed only 1.6kg on the Moon so it was easy to carry.

NASA distributed rock from the Apollo missions to researchers around the world for study, including Museum Victoria Honorary Associate Professor John Lovering. At the time of the Apollo program he was the Head of Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne.
Professor Lovering carried out some of the very first chemical analyses of the Moon rock from Apollo 11 and 12, and discovered a new mineral, tranquillityite, which has since been found on Earth – from six localities in Pilbara, Western Australia – as well as from rocks from every Apollo mission and a lunar meteorite.

Yeah, I see your point. I have to admit I've been struggling with this theme so I kinda fell back on the scarf as an easy hipster tie in. Plus, I was trying to keep the clothing on these guys to a minimum and the scarves seemed like the best "hipster" accessory to do the job. Glad it still worked for ya.

You can say he's wrong and hold a differing opinion, but his explanation ("excuses") seems to have some thought behind it...
Haha! You fool... That just what he wants you to think!
But seriously, hear me out because this BENEFITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU THE MOST (people who purchase his designs). Woot uses pantone solid coated colors for printing. Pantone solid coated colors are a set range of color, similar to having a box of color markers. It is limited, and not every color is available through the Pantone Solid coated collection. This means, if you don't pantone solid coated colors, then the art you submit to woot has absolutely 0% chance of looking similar to the art when printed. This means that the design you are viewing, voting for and potential purchasing WILL NEVER BE the same as the design you will get. This is what RamyB does, and he as openly admitted it above.
And yes, his responses are excuses. There is no way to justify not using a Pantone Solid Coated swatch (we should be designing for t-shirt prints... not computer screens, right?). All he did was beat around the bush and avoid giving a direct response. And if you know anything about the topic at hand (which I can only assume you don't), you would know that most of his arguments/ excuses are hogwash. Do you know about digital art and printing? If you do, then you should understand why I didn't care for his "classy" replies.
And for the record, RamyB has had issue with his prints in the past. He just avoided bringing it up because its a bad time to admit it. I seen many people complain about "Behold a pale horse" (or w/e that design is called), being way to dark to a point where you can only make out the horse. Also, I remember stumbling across this bad print . I don't even follow ramyB for the most part and that are two bad prints (there are probably more), and it is most likely because he doesn't properly set up his files. Yes, woot can go back and change them... and they did. However, every time they do that, they are losing money for something that isn't their fault. So yes, it does hurt someone... it hurts woots as well as the customers that have to go through this whole ordeal.
Really, you shouldn't be defending on this one... I am not attacking him "just because." Converting your colors to a Pantone Solid Coated swatch is a very simple easy thing to do, and IT'S FOR YOUR (you the purchaser of ramyB shirts) OWN BENEFIT!!!
You got a really good style! Keep it up!
PixelPants wrote:Really like your menagerie of characters. The drawing style and neutral colour scheme suit it well. The arbitrary background shape and fine texture don't add anything to the design for me, unless I'm missing a reference to something.
I agree - I love the characters, but the background is distracting and ruins it.

I thought you were going to agree to disagree, but your goal is starting to look a little different (although that was clear from the beginning when you chose to single out this design when you know that it is far from the only one that is "guilty" of not utilizing pantone colors).
There is a big difference between an excuse and an opinion. I presented a clear argument that you chose to entirely ignore and simply repeat what you had already stated. Putting words in caps doesn't make it stronger the second time around, it just makes it clear that you are here to argue.
I understand exactly your point, and it's a fair one. And you did ask nicely in the first place. There are certain mistakes that I've made in the past (although the ones you mentioned were not a pantone issue, but rather a halftoning issue, the second of which was actually reprinted because there was a rash appearing on red's legs that was not actually in the print-ready file) and I have learned from them as a designer. The farthest off from what I had intended to design in terms of print colors, however, was on my first print ever, on which I sent woot a file that was pantone adjusted already. Half the colors ended up printing drastically brighter than they looked on my monitor, which disrupted the subtlety of the design that I had intended. With the my second design, I also sent in my file pantone color adjusted, and of the three that I purchased, two had a squirrel that was a light tan color, and the other was an orange color.
Why is this the case? Because woot tinkers with the colors regardless of what is sent to them. On top of that, even if I owned a pantone color book to see the exact colors that will theoretically print, I can guarantee you that at least 99% of the voters do not have access to such a thing and therefore will see something on the shirt that is different from what they see on the monitor, whether the colors are pantones or not. There is a large enough library of pantone colors that designs come out pretty close no matter what shades you choose, especially if the colors selected are not too dark. So you can argue that not choosing pantones will mean that voters are looking at a design that is different from what they will see in print form, but 100% of the time that is the case if pantone colors are selected as well.
I'm not sure what your intentions initially were in making your post, but if this is a noble crusade to make sure pantone colors are used in derby entries, you should reach out a little more and try to "educate" some of the other artists out there who aren't using them as well. I apologize if I have become a bit cynical over the years on woot, but it is extremely difficult for me not to doubt people's intentions at this point when they choose to come after me and condone the same issue everywhere else. I'm sure it was not a coincidence that you chose this entry- maybe it is because it is your favorite shade of green so it stood out to you, and that's fine.
Next week I can give pantones a shot again and see how it goes, but it really doesn't matter. I'm just trying to explain to you that it's a moot point, because it doesn't make a bit of difference in the end and doesn't take any extra work to do, and it also doesn't make it any easier for voters to see how the design will look based on what they see on their monitors. Plus, I understand that the point of pantones is that they are supposed to print the same way every time, but when there is a shirt color underneath, that makes a big difference too. The way a color prints on kelly green is radically different from how it would appear on a white sheet of paper, and I simply don't have the background or experience to select colors based on those types of variations. Add to that the fact that woot has stated before that photoshop's pantones are not particularly accurate, and you can see why I have not been particularly inclined to choose pantone colors myself in my entries. I'll say it one more time, and I'm sure it will fall on deaf ears, but I choose colors that appear on my screen as close as possible to what I would like to see in print form. If woot can choose colors to fit that image better than I can, then it is better for the consumer and comes closer to the results that I want to achieve. That's all.
Here's my attempt at an agree to disagree on my end, but I can see that you are fired up about this and I'm sure you want to get a last word in, so have at it.

Same story as last time... You don't use pantone solid coated swatches. I kindly ask you use a pantone solid coated swatches. Do it or don't do it. Your call. Just don't give me all these excuse. The only excuse that could have persuaded me was that you didn't know how to convert your colors to pantone, and even then I would have trouble believing you since you have been doing this for so long.

That means for most records, you'll contact the Berkeley County clerk and the West Virginia Archives.

Lots to admire about Osmond and she acquitted herself well. The main things holding her back in London that politicking couldn't overcome was experience and maturity. Without the fp mistakes, Osmond in 4th at least, especially in London venue. I don't see anything at all "plastic" about Ashley Wagner. To each their own. I think Ashley could soften her arms, and obviously make sure she's fit and strong for battle next season (strategically, mentally, in all ways).

Harbor Homes wins grant to help with veteran housing
After completion, 26 homeless veterans and their families will have access to one- and two-bedroom transitional living and permanent supportive housing apartments within a brand new three-story building. While living in the facility, veterans receive case management, transportation, employment services, and other supportive services customized to meet the unique needs of each household. Working closely with the Manchester VA Medical Center and other health and human service providers, veterans usually graduate from the program in two years or less, moving onto independent, industrious living.
This is the third facility of its kind within the Harbor Homes' Veterans FIRST program. Buckingham Place and Dalianis House, located in Nashua, provide 60 units of transitional housing for homeless veterans and have a waiting list.
"As many more of our veterans are returning from battle, they find themselves facing economic challenges along with personal struggles, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. There is a high demand for veteran housing and supportive services, capacity continues to be limited, and our waiting lists are expanding.
Twenty-five organizations were awarded a $100,000 grant for a total grant donation of $2.5 million in 2012.

In collaboration with the University of St. Thomas School of Education and School of Business, fourth-graders from Annunciation Orthodox School will participate in Lemonade Day on Sunday, May 6, selling Lemonade from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on the UST Academic Mall. In a sip-and-stroll fashion, there is a $5 tasting fee per person and six teams of students will provide lemonade. All proceeds go to BARC Animal Shelter & Adoptions.
Lemonade Day is a free, community-wide educational initiative designed to teach children how to start, own and operate their own business – a lemonade stand.
Dressed in lemon-yellow T-shirts, 62 fourth-graders from AOS visited the University on March 7 to take part in a kick-off event for Lemonade Day.
The elementary students received inspiration from the event's founder, Michael Holthouse, a Houston entrepreneur and philanthropist, and co-founder of Prepared 4 Life, a non-profit that provides fun programs infused with life skills, character education and entrepreneurship. Holthouse shared the story of his daughter's experience of starting a lemonade stand to help buy a turtle.
"Maybe you have a goal in mind," Holthouse said to the students. "A turtle or an iPad or drum lessons."
Holthouse underscored the value of educating kids to become entrepreneurs through training in life skills, character and morals. But let's not forget the point of a lemonade stand:
"It's going to be big fun, and at the end of it, you're going to make a bunch of money," he told the fourth-graders.
Holthouse said he was glad to be able to partner with the University for the kick-off and the Lemonade Day program.
"St. Thomas has produced so many great leaders," he said. "We are so honored to be able to partner with you."
Two UST alumni also shared their stories about starting their own businesses: John Daugherty III '12, who started 'Cue Sauce last year, bottling his own barbecue sauce, and Tino Ramirez '85, owner of The Chocolate Bar and Candylicious.
Daugherty said he considered speaking about hard work, teamwork and resourcefulness – all important in starting a business – but decided to make his message about encouraging students to build a business they enjoy.
"I thought about how we got 'Cue Sauce from a piece of paper to a product – it's fun," Daugherty said. "It wouldn't be successful if it wasn't fun."
Ramirez, whose businesses included a pizza restaurant and dog sitting before starting The Chocolate Bar, said it is important to make a plan and understand the product well.
"My favorite part of running my business is research," Ramirez said. "That meant trying every piece of candy and chocolate."
He encouraged the kids to focus on their product. "Do you want to make organic lemonade? Do you want to make pink lemonade?" he asked. "Make sure you sample your lemonade."
Cameron Waldner '06, MLA '08, the Chief Service Officer for the City of Houston, also represented the mayor in presenting a city proclamation of May 6 as Lemonade Day.
"Lemonade Day is a day of learning and celebrating Houston's future," the proclamation read. "On Sunday, May 6, every citizen has a job – either buying or helping children sell lemonade."
The Annunciation Orthodox School kids will be assigned to teams to sell lemonade at UST on Lemonade Day, giving the UST community an opportunity to support their sales.
The University's Lemonade Day program is a collaboration between AOS, the UST School of Education and the Cameron School of Business. UST faculty will offer 14 lessons on topics like site selection, finding an investor, purchasing and advertising. The final lesson will be about how the students can use their profits to give back to the community.

The deluge of customer data shows no signs of abating. The perpetually-connected customer leaves data footprints in every interaction with a brand. This presents tremendous opportunities for customer insights professionals and analytics practitioners tasked with analyzing this data, to not only get smarter about customers but ensure that the insights get appropriately used at the point of customer interaction.
When we asked customer analytics users about the challenges and drivers of customer analytics adoption, we found that data integration and data quality continue to inhibit better adoption of customer analytics while users still want to use analytics to improve the data-driven focus of the organization and drive satisfaction and customer retention.
Forrester's Customer Analytics Playbook guides customer insights professionals, marketing scientists and customer analytics practitioners into this new reality of customer data and helps discover analytics opportunities, plan for greater sophistication, take steps towards building a customer analytics capability and continually monitor progress of analytics initiatives. It will include 12 chapters (and an executive overview) that cover different aspects of customer analytics.

The answer to the looming fuel crisis in the 21st century may be found by thinking small, microscopic in fact. Microscopic organisms from bacteria and cyanobacteria, to fungi to microalgae, are biological factories that are proving to be efficient sources of inexpensive, environmentally friendly biofuels that can serve as alternatives to oil. The problem is right now most alternative biofuels use corn as a feedstock, forcing a choice between food and fuel. Participants will present the latest findings in research funded by the Department of Energy on strategies for breaking down non-food biomass and converting it into biofuels including ethanol, biodiesel, hydrogen and electricity.

Jindal Seeks Injunction In Common Core Fight
Gov. Bobby Jindal is asking a judge to prohibit state education leaders from using testing material tied to the Common Core standards in Louisiana's public schools.
Jindal filed a petition Wednesday seeking an injunction that would keep the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education and the education department from administering any standardized tests developed through a testing consortium aligned with Common Core.
The injunction request was filed in state district court.
Jindal argues Louisiana's agreement with the testing consortium called the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC, is an unlawful attempt to federalize education in the state.
He wants the state barred from using tests or test questions developed through PARCC.
Jindal agreed to Louisiana's participation in PARCC, but has since changed his mind.

I know, two iPhone 4 stories on launch day - sacrilege! Still if you're the kind of reader who gets annoyed at Apple you should enjoy this one...
It seems Steve Jobs' shiny new bundle of joy is facing teething problems as MacRumors' reports a number of owners have received handsets with blocks of yellow tint in the much proclaimed Retina Display. On top of this iPhone 4 owners have also contacted Gizmodo to say there appears to be a serious design flaw in the phone whereby carrier signal falls when it is held - oops.
The first issue is nothing new to Apple as the 27in iMac also suffered from yellow tint problems on its initial run (Foxconn really should stop playing Simpsons' paintball on the factory floor). Those were cleared up and I suspect they will be here too.
Far more concerning is what appears to be a fundamental design flaw in the iPhone 4's supposedly revolutionary external antenna system which sees reception fail when the handset is held along the sides.
The video above is pretty convincing and many more of since followed from other users. The video below shows call quality is unaffected by the apparent signal drop so we may simply be dealing with a glitch in how the reception strength is reported.
Walk Mossberg did touch upon something similar in his iPhone 4 review when he said "in some places where the signal was relatively weak, the iPhone 4 showed no bars, or fewer bars than its predecessor. Apple says that this is a bug it plans to fix, and that it has to do with the way the bars are presented, not the actual ability to make a call. And, in fact, in nearly all of these cases, the iPhone 4 was able to place calls despite the lack of bars." In fairness though, this isn't exactly the same thing as we're seeing reported today.
Let's hope this all blows over, especially by the time mine arrives later today.
