That is a really dumb billboard. Not only does it illegally and incorrectly represent the Marine Corps as an institution that's carrying out a religious-based mission but it's offensive to those of us serving in uniform that don't believe in religion.
I'm not entirely sure that is a real picture but if it is, it will likely be removed in short order because no private organization – certainly not a church – is allowed to speak on our behalf.
never met a atheist in a fire fight. Semper FI
Walk around asking, did you?
Obvious fake
Fake! I ordered the T shirt.. Your FAKE!
Then get out … you are not worthy of being a marine.
Only religion makes people that do not lie cheat or steal.
By the way a domestic terrorist is in the white house an imposter who is illegally and unlawfully pretending to be president.
All threats both foreign and domestic. DO YOUR JOB OR GET OUT!
Amen to that.
I ordered the T shirt.. You should be ILLEAGAL!
It's just a bumper sticker/t-shirt slogan. It's shopped into the billboard image. Although I wouldn't be surprised if someone WANTED to put this up, the USMC wouldn't. And they would never condone anyone stamping USMC on anything unauthorized. So, this is fake. And if anyone ever erected one like it, it's illegal, too. The billboard owners would know that, too, and not put it up. Just fake, that's all.
Just an FYI. Many moons ago, I once purchased a t-shirt for my 4 year old son from the PX that read. 'KILL A COMMIE FOR MOMMIE" Perhaps we were not so politically correct back then.
I like it.
Semper fi! This is probably fake but I think we should put these up everywhere. For those of you who are not supporters of the men and women in uniform get the fuck out of our country you disrespectful bastards. For those of you who call us child killers and rapists, you are very ignorant and should be locked up. The men and women in uniform gave you the right to say these hurtful things. Whether you agree with the war or not respect and thank our troops. Did I want to say goodbye to my family when I was deployed? No! Most of you will never know what that is like and how tough that is. Ask yourself what have I done to earn my freedom? Most of you have done absolutely nothing so shut your mouths!!!
First of all, you're the one being disrespectful. Second, no one has to get out of the country simply because they don't support the troops. Third, locking people up for expressing their beliefs would be absolutely un-American and in violation of the very Constitution you swore to uphold.
Keep in mind that you chose to enlist and say goodbye to your family. No one forced you to go to war. You signed the contract.
Finally, at no point did you defend anyone's freedom. American freedom has not been at risk since 1945. Not a single durka durka in either iraq or afghanistan has ever been a threat to a single American's right. At no point were of any of them ever capable of taking away our freedoms. If you want to argue that you defended American lives in afghanistan then at least you have a starting point, though it's highly debatable. But not in Iraq.
Fortunately people don't need to earn their freedom. But maybe you should take a moment and think back to what happened 68 years ago and realize that those guys fought and died to defend freedom. No one has given me or anyone else rights, they are enumerated and protected by the same document that you and I both swore to uphold and defend.
Quite happy that FATTY the Ferret isnt the one protecting my freedoms or rights. If you for one minute think you could say such crap without men and women protecting it, your as ignorant as every word you wrote! EVERYDAY men and women protect you.
You definitely must not be from New York or been on the planet for 9/11?
Nor were you dealing with a man that was toying with NATO and the United States in trying to get inspections done in a country called Iraq. If you think for one minute that he would of just stopped at Kuwait and that those events wouldnt effect your life, you are wrong again!
Everyone should do things to earn and protect their freedom! Whether its thanking a soldier or Marine, serving, making the ultimate sacrifice, or just plain volunteering their time to help out their nation in some way.
My guess is that FATTY does NONE of those. That paper isnt worth shit without people actually realizing the idiosyncrasies behind what is needed to protect it!
I'm a Marine currently serving in Afghanistan. Go fuck yourself.
If you ARE a Marine, then you didnt go to the bootcamp I know of my beloved Corps. If you actually stepped on those yellow footprints, you would begin to know HISTORY and how small the world is. You talk as if you almost want to live as an isolationist… thinking that we are not part of the world economy. If you ARE deployed, go to the library and read some history devil pup! If you ARE a Marine and really feel what your saying is true, talk to your chaplain or your OIC as your a danger to your fellow brothers and sisters in arms!
Amen Semper Fi!! Sounds to me like Fatty Ferret needs to join the rest of the idiots down range.. I can't tell you how many times I heard that short phrase "it's God's job to judge the enemy, it's our job to arrange the meeting" through bootcamp…
Truth hurts doesn't it? Stop using the military for your glory. If you want to serve, serve. Going around demanding recognition. If you're doing it for 'respect' you're doing it for yourself, not your country.
You shouldn't be so angry…just because someone questions a fake billboard doesn't mean they should leave the country…sheesh. Why would you fight for freedom of speech and then try to limit that speech? Silly boy. The marines are not allowed to use god for marketing purposes…I think that is the point…a little thing called seperation of church and state (which by the way was fought and earned for us too)…that's all! Deep breath!
This must be in Cali, I recognize that smog. This is NOT a misrepresentation of USMC values, this country is based of Christian principles. God bless America!
While the image is humorous and satisfies something dark and full of retribution in our heats it isn't real. You have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about.
1. Photoshop'd and not real.
2. The branches of the military are (thankfully) not as dumb and rash as you. They wouldn't put their troops in harm's way by intentionally advertising something inflammatory.
3. Again. Wrong. I need you to go back and actually read some historical writings of the period… BY the founding fathers and you will see that it most definitely was NOT founded that way.
4. God bless America was added in the 50s, and to bless something actually (the etymology) means to bathe in blood. Again, satisfying your lust for retribution?
In conclusion, you are deranged and delusional, uneducated, far right wing-nut who is living a lie. You are the true danger.
You have far too much to say for yourself. You must be a great person to hang out with. Liven up a bit you dull, lifeless creature.
This is actually the definition of bless BTW…
blessed or blest (blst), bless·ing, bless·es
1. To make holy by religious rite; sanctify.
2. To make the sign of the cross over so as to sanctify.
3. To invoke divine favor upon.
4. To honor as holy; glorify: Bless the Lord.
5. To confer well-being or prosperity on.
6. To endow, as with talent.
or it seems like you prefer the Old English version which you still have wrong…
Old English bletsian, bledsian, Northumbrian bloedsian "to consecrate, make holy, give thanks," from Proto-Germanic *blodison "hallow with blood, mark with blood," from *blotham "blood" (see blood).
Originally a blood sprinkling on pagan altars. This word was chosen in Old English bibles to translate Latin benedicere and Greek eulogein, both of which have a ground sense of "to speak well of, to praise," but were used in Scripture to translate Hebrew brk "to bend (the knee), worship, praise, invoke blessings." Meaning shifted in late Old English toward "pronounce or make happy," by resemblance to unrelated bliss. No cognates in other languages. Related: Blessed; blessing.
Our own religious nut trying to takeover the country claiming it is a 'Christian' nation.
Hey! I like it…I want a patch, bumper sticker and tee-shirt and mug. I believe in God…and am against war… However, ask the people in Boston right now how they feel. I thank God for our troops and police, firefighters, medics and all those that put their lives on the line every day for our safety and freedoms.
The Marines not only believe in God but teach it in boot camp, God, Country, Corps. and its prioritized. We just tell the politicians what they want to here about the church n state crap so we can do our job. If you don't believe in God or do not like him, just have a few bullets pass by or put yourself in a danger close situation and you my friend will experience a paradigm shift.

For First Time in Seven Years, California Ends Fiscal Year in the Black
For the first time in seven years, the state has ended its fiscal year in the black.
Controller John Chiang says revenues, as of June 30, topped spending by enough to pay off outstanding loans and still leave a balance of just about $2 billion.
All in all, it's "terrific news, it's nice to be cash positive," Chiang said.
There will still be some borrowing going forward to address cash flow needs, and Chiang does caution the balance could be easily erased by a bad business cycle.
It's not a question of if we'll see one, but when and how deep it will be, Chiang said.
"What is the severity of the downturn?" he said.
Total revenue for the 2013-14 fiscal year came in at $101.6 billion, about $2.1 percent higher than Governor Jerry Brown projected back in January.

Walk With Joe Honors Flight 93 Heroes [AUDIO]
Manalapan-based Walk With Joe just wrapped up its tenth annual Memorial 5K walk to remember people who lost their lives during the horrific 9/11 attacks.
What's so great about the Garden State? Tell us about a charity or organization using the form at the end of this story.
The charity, which has become a community staple, was started in the wake of the tragedy by Manalapan's Yorktown Club. The non-profit club supports local charities. One of the club's members, Patrick "Joe" Driscoll, was one of the heroes that lost their lives by helping to prevent Flight 93 from hitting any other terrorist targets.
Walk With Joe was started in Driscoll's name shortly after. Also fueling the club's efforts was the loss of two other member's loved ones.
"We will never forget," Committee Member Michele Cleary said. "We don't want to forget all the people that lost their lives and were heroes that day."
Cleary says the mission is "to commemorate all of the people that were lost on that day, so we have this walk every year."
Thousands have turned out each year for the 5K, which is held every year on a Saturday near 9/11 at Monmouth Battlefield. This year's was held this past weekend.
Over the 10 years of holding the event, Cleary estimates that the walk has raised over $250 thousand, which is donated to a slew of local charities.
"Because of this and in their memory, we can do something good. We can go ahead and walk, and remember and raise money," she explained.
It is annual way to honor these individuals, while helping out the community.
"We never want to forget this event. We never want to forget to honor those that perished during this event."

Isovaleroyl triglycerides from the blubber and melon oils of the beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas)
- Received:
- Cite this article as:
- Litchfield, C., Ackman, R.G., Sipos, J.C. et al. Lipids (1971) 6: 674. doi:10.1007/BF02531529
The fatty acid compositions of the blubber and melon oils from the beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) have been determined by gas liquid chromatography (GLC). The melon oil contains a high level (60.1 mole %) of isovaleric acid, substantial amounts of long chain branched acids (16.9%), and very little polyunsaturated material (0.5%). The blubber oil contains less isovaleric (13.2%), fewer long chain branched acids (2.7%), and appreciable amounts (10.9%) of the polyunsaturated acids typical of marine oils. The blubber and melon oils were also examined for lipid class composition by thin layer chromatography on silicic acid, direct GLC of the hydrogenated oil, and gel permeation chromatography. Both oils are composed almost entirely of triglycerides, which can be separated chromatographically into molecules containing 0, 1 and 2 isovaleric acid moieties. No triisovalerin could be detected. The blubber oil contains 68.9 mole % normal triacyl-, 24.2% diacyl-monoisovaleroyl-, and 7.0% monoacyl-diisovaleroyl-triglycerides (acyl=long chain acid). Monoacyl-diisovalerin constitutes 86.7 mole % of the melon oil. This unusual compound may play a role in the echolocation system of the beluga whale.

Our TXTNG KILLS phone guards were recently featured in a news story that ran in Denver. While we're not sure how the journalist found our phone guard, we are sure about the message - reminding drivers NOT to text and drive really does work!
Good habits take time time to form - about 21 days. If you do something repeatedly for 21 straight days your mind will accept it as a habit and make it a part of your daily life. Exercise routines and diet programs work this way. Stopping smoking works this way, and not texting and driving works this way too. If you can make it 21 days in a row, you've formed a new habit to better your life. When it comes to the habit of texting and driving, you might be saving your life too!
But making it through those first 21 days isn't always easy. Your phone makes a noise while you're driving down the road and your eyes are immediately drawn to the screen to see who needs you. Texts and phone calls let you know you're needed and important and most people can't help but look to see who needs them. It's human nature, but it's also the cause of thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of injuries every single year across the United States.
Texting and driving is illegal in 43 states (what the heck is wrong with the other 7 states?) yet the number of texting and driving accidents has not declined much over the past few years.If you're like most people, you need more than laws to keep you from texting and driving.
You need some new habits! To help get you through those first 21 days, try using a TXTNG KILLS phone guard that will actually prevent you from texting while driving. Even the act of taking the wrist band off of your wrist and using it as a phone guard on your phone will form the opinion in your mind that texting and driving is a bad thing. The reminder alone will decrease your urge to text and drive.
You may also need to put the phone in your glove box, turn off the ringer or power it off completely to avoid the temptation. For the first 21 days, you need to do whatever it takes! You could also designate someone as your texter when you're driving. Get your kids involved and let them text for you. It will keep them occupied AND set a good example about the seriousness of texting and driving. The whole "do as I say and not as I do" attitude doesn't work with kids and texting and driving. If they see you do it, you can be pretty sure they're going to do it too!
There has never been a better time than right now to start forming the habit of being a text free driver. Thanks to the Denver news, there will hopefully be less people on the road texting today than there were yesterday. If you need help, get a texting wrist band/phone guard. It may be the best $1.50 you ever spend. Get one for every driver in your house and start forming good habits together. You'll all be safer and you'll be making the roads safer for everyone else too!

Feature #28539
Official support for Mumble's LINK - open plugin interface for positional audio data

|Reproducible for you:
|Related to content of DLC:
Mumble is a popular open source VoIP application used by many ARMA2 players, similar to Ventrilo and TeamSpeak. It has built-in support for positional audio and having official support for Mumble positional audio in ARMA2 would be great, as Mumble users would then hear their fellow players voices coming from the correct direction in-game without requiring use of mods.
The instructions for implementing positional audio support in game can be found here.
Mumble's Link can be used by any other application including TeamSpeak 3 etc.
Another option would be some kind of general API or functionality to access the player position, heading and top vectors from outside of the game engine, without using ARMA2 scripting or mods, for use in 3D audio plugins.

I see. Thanks for explanation

i'm not aware of any simple API like Mumble's Link
(please realize it's OPEN, anything, anyone can use Mumble's link output offered by game-engine)
(this includes e.g. TeamSpeak 3 plugin/module using that information)
it's also free and extremely easy to implement which can't be said about other SDKs
Updated by Xeno over 5 years ago
Dwarden, I've added my comment because there is absolutely no reason to waste developer time for something almost nobody uses in the ArmA world.
TS3 is standard in the community, not mumble or Ventrillo or whatever. If somebody wants mumble support he can do it the same way as the ACRE guys did.
It would make much more sense to improve the ingame voice ip system instead! This would render support for voice ip system x or y void and improve the situation for everybody.
For example, the TS3 SDK is part of Americas Army 3 and other game titles.
Updated by Dwarden over 5 years ago
nobody ? even ACRE developers asked me for MUMBLE's link in past
and I confirmed they STILL want it yesterday for correct 3D positional updates
voting on forum is 319:61 where these who vote against are 'blindly' denying it w/o realizing it benefits other software too
supporting Mumble's Link isn't just for MUMBLE ...
did You even LOOK on the documentation what it offers?
it's not EXCLUSIVE solution for ONE software, it's OPEN
yes TS3 SDK is part of some games (not extra successful ones when we on it)
and it takes N times amount of time/effort/cost to implement than Mumble's Link (takes minimum of work)
Updated by Xeno over 5 years ago
I didn't know about mumble link, might be because I think that mumble is total crap (at least my experience from tests with 20-30 people), but seems to be nice for position updates.
Didn't know that others can make use of it too, like ACRE.
Updated by Dwarden over 5 years ago
i see i will rename the ticket,
i think that's one of the main problem that reader thinks it's Mumble's exclusive support
which is wrong assumption

Submitted to: Agricultural Experiment Station Publication
Publication Type: Experiment Station
Publication Acceptance Date: 6/2/2011
Publication Date: 7/14/2011
Citation: Chen, M. 2011. Polyphenols and antioxidant capacity: Rice versus other common cereal grains. Texas Rice Special Section, Highlighting Research in 2011. p. VII-VIII. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The consumption of whole cereal grains has been strongly recommended by many governmental and non-profit health organizations based on epidemiological studies associating whole-grain consumption with reduced incidences of chronic diseases. Bioactive phytochemicals, such as polyphenolic compounds, rich in the whole grains are hypothesized to contribute part of the protective effects against these chronic diseases. The objective of this study was to compare polyphenols and antioxidant capacity in the extractable and cell-wall-bound fractions of whole-grain rice differing in bran color (light-brown, brown, red, and purple color classes) with those of other cereal grains: corn, oat, red wheat, white wheat, and barley. In the extractable fraction, darker bran (red and purple) whole-grain rice contained significantly higher total phenolic (4- to 7-fold) and flavonoid (5- to 14-fold) concentrations and antioxidant capacity (2- to 4.5- fold) than most cereal grains except barley. The purple bran rice had 50 and 40% higher total flavonoids and antioxidant capacity, respectively, than barley, while the red color bran rice had 70% higher total phenolics than barley. The higher polyphenol concentration (total phenolics and flavonoids) and antioxidant capacity of darker bran rice and barley were primarily attributed to anthocyanins in purple rice and proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins) in red bran rice and barley. The consumption of anthocyanins in the United States was estimated to be 12.5 mg per day per person. In comparison, the purple rice variety IAC600 contained 140 mg anthocyanins/100 g. Proanthocyanidins in red bran rice were 127 mg/100 g, and their composition was 6.5, 33.5, 30.6 and 29.4% as 1-3, 4-6, 7-10 mers (or units), and polymer (>10 mers), respectively. Specific health-benefits suggested for anthocyanins or anthocyanin- and proanthocyanin-rich fractions include prevention of oxidative damage, the provision of anti-inflammation and anticarcinogenic activities, and the prevention of obesity in vitro and in animal studies. Darker color bran whole-grain rices have potential to positively impact human health.

In Olympic and Jubilee year, we can expect a lot more of this kind of thing: a big survey exhibition addressed to the question of Britishness. The Victoria & Albert Museum's effort is British Design from 1948 to 2012: Innovation in the Modern Age, an ambitious and wide-ranging show of product and interior design, architecture, graphics, advertising, fashion, textiles, ceramics, video games and more, trying to give a picture of the applied arts in all their forms, as they relate to our national identity.
There are the hoary old saws from design history: the Festival of Britain, Swinging London, the Mini and Biba, punk, post-punk and Factory Records (they needn't have taken this stuff down after the Postmodernism show at the beginning of the year), and now Britain as a producer of international star designers, dominating the world through Paul Smith's suits, Jonathan Ive's iPads and Zaha Hadid's futuristic buildings. This is the UK plc story that the country has been selling for years to anyone who'll listen.
But, to its credit, the V&A has put together an exhibition that is about much more than just that corporate gloss. It's ambitious and complex in its selections, does not feel promotional (or at least, not totally promotional) and has some genuine surprises. There is a map of Tolkien's Middle Earth from 1971 in a faux-medieval style, and floral Osborne & Little wallpaper that's unlikely to appear in Wallpaper* magazine any time soon. These are the anomalies, the strange cousins to the designers' own narrative of post-war design, that show Britain's enduringly ambiguous relationship with modernity.
The exhibition's story is bound by two arbitrary dates: the last London Olympics in 1948 and this year's Games. After the war, the nation was cheered up first by the Olympics and then the Festival of Britain in 1951, which is where the V&A's story begins. This watershed for British modernism is illustrated by a range of drawings, objects and graphic posters in the show. The Royal Festival Hall, designed by the London County Council's architects' department under Peter Moro and Leslie Martin, was the festival's permanent legacy but there was much more. The Skylon: a soaring monument to a vague but thrilling technological future. The Dome of Discovery: a structurally radical building that was, at the time, the largest domed structure ever built. London, and Britain, had entered the 20th century.
But the telling quotation about this event is from JM Richards in the Architectural Review, which is included in the exhibition catalogue. He wrote at the time: "Britain has for the first time this summer, instead of a few freakish examples of a modern style, a whole quarter where the 20th century Englishman can wander about in a world of his own making." The sense of astonishment is palpable. Modernism had been a freakish occurrence until 1951, and was considered freakish in all but a very few places until long after.
The frustration at this state of affairs from would-be moderns is obvious in the exhibition's catalogue. There are plenty of commentators who think the leaden-footed British public just wasn't hip enough to cotton on to the new style that was being revealed to them by design visionaries. Terence Conran, for instance, who was a 20-year-old assistant to Eduardo Paolozzi in 1951, writes in the catalogue: "It was amazing to see all these people on the South Bank in their mackintoshes, with their gas mask cases filled with sandwiches. It was the first time they had seen colour and all those exciting architecural shapes ... the Festival demonstrated that there was an alternative to the rather sad repro furniture that was available on the British high street." I wonder what Terence was wearing at the time.
The sense of the public not knowing what's good for them is common in the mainstream of modern design in this country. In mainland Europe, modernism was associated with Leftist ideas of the communal and developed alongside welfare state politics that played down the individual. Here, as Conran demonstrates, modernism was mixed in with a patrician attitude to taste that still dominates a certain kind of architecture and design today. The problem with any modern avant-garde is that it always considers itself somewhat apart from the rest of us.
But even its authors seemed not to know precisely what modernism was for. There is one very beautiful drawing in the exhibition, of Ralph Tubbs's Skylon, that made me laugh out loud. It is a section drawing of the soaring, steel obelisk, boldly titled VERTICAL FEATURE. We have come full circle today with our own ArcelorMittal Orbit tower at the Olympic Park (which is not included in the exhibition), another "vertical feature" searching for a reason to exist.
It is interesting that this exhibition is subtitled with the horrible noun "innovation", a meaningless piece of marketing speak that betrays modern design's obsession with novelty. If you must believe that there is a cultural cutting edge somewhere, on this evidence it seems to me that Britain has, in fact, been nowhere near it for most of the 20th century in terms of design and architecture, and arguably still isn't. Industrial design legend Kenneth Grange (whose Brownie Vecta camera is in the show), writing in the catalogue, sums up the feeling of receiving modern design second hand. "All of a sudden — and mainly from Scandinavia and the US — came modernism. This we had only seen in magazines before. It was a heady extravagance and it came in a rush."
There are things in this exhibition that make you feel Britons have effected significant change, though. The British-designed video games on show were revolutionary in their field: Elite (1984), Tomb Raider (1996) and Grand Theft Auto (1997). David Bowie's clothes, Saatchi & Saatchi's advertising, iD and Face magazines all left permanent, transformational legacies. In architecture and interior and furniture design, though, the material gives you a sense of a country on the edge of modernism, at odds with avant-gardism. We were not totally convinced by this modern design stuff, really, and we were far from the best at it.
The most contemporary layer of the exhibition's material makes the case for London being a kind of catch-all design capital that produces great designers, and welcomes talent from across the world to stay here. However, co-opting into "British design" a generation of young, foreign-born designers (the same ones who are always in V&A shows about contemporary design, by the way) who have happened to make London their home doesn't tell us anything about Britishness. All it tells us is that London is a great place to be a young person on the make. I suspect the work of these people relies very little on the culture of this city, and that they could just as easily imagine themselves in Berlin, New York or Tokyo should circumstances change.
The fact that Jonathan Ive, Apple's design director, was born in Chingford doesn't make the iPad British. It is a product of a globalised world, designed to become obsolete very soon, and exploiting global supply chains to amass sums of money bigger than many countries' GDPs. These designers are as stateless as hedge-fund managers, betraying no regional or national identity or loyalty in their work. If London gets another Olympics in another 60 years, people will probably laugh nostalgically at the idea of a show about a country's identity in design.
British Design from 1948 to 2012: Innovation in the Modern Age opens at the V&A, SW7 (020 7907 7073; vam.ac.uk) on Saturday and runs until August 12. Open Sat-Thurs, 10am-5.30pm; Fri, 10am-9.30pm; admission £13.50, concs available.

Who Ordered the Marlin Roll?
The Florida Marlins have come out of the gates firing on all cylinders. They absolutely leveled the Nationals in an opening series sweep while storming out to the only undefeated record in the bigs. Then they brought down the hurt on the hated Mets with a two-to-one series beatdown, culminating with young Marlins starter Josh Johnson playing David to New York ace Johan Santanas Goliath. The defending World Series Champion Philadelphia Phillies are next in line to take a Mighty Thor-like hammer to the face courtesy of the Fish.
As usual, superstar shortstop Hanley Ramirez has set the tone. Ramirez hit a paltry .184 in spring training, while fighting with the powers that be for making him cut his hair. However, once the games started counting, HanRam came out en fuego, hitting .348 with several multihit games and leading the team in both home runs as well as in overall badassery. Other players soon followed suit, such as the always-reliable Dan Uggla, and everybodys favorite new Fish, Emilio Bonifacio. The Marlins will look to keep their hold on the NL East this Friday night when they take on the Phillies at Dolphin Stadium.

1. I forgot to tell you one more thing about Friday night. When I got up on the diving board at the girls' urging, ready to show off my fantastic diving skillz, one of the girls yelled out "look at Becca jiggling up there . . . " That's right girls. Santa's got nothing on a

3. We went out on the boat this morning, and saw a whole bunch of dolphins. (I've just been informed that the correct term for "whole bunch" is "pod", but I think we all know that I don't care all that much about "correct terms") I was inordinately excited about having dolphins so close to our boat. It was embarrassing really.
4. In the last two days, I drank a lot of diet coke and ate some seriously delicious macaroni and cheese. And let me just tell you people, it wasn't Kraft, and it didn't involve processed or powdered cheese. I'm pretty sure I could have eaten this treat for every meal for 2 weeks straight without getting sick of it. Because that would do wonders for all the jiggle.
5. As much as I long to share some of the twenty or two hundred pictures I took of Jayci at the beach, I simply cannot do it. Why? Well, because I had to add my camera cord to the list of many, many things I need my sister to bring up to camp next week.
6. Speaking of camp. I will be heading there tomorrow morning. Maybe, if you're lucky, I'll even take you on a tour. Please try to contain your excitement.

And I must confess I have counted the months on my fingers more than a few times, just to be sure it's really already been nine months. Because I could have sworn it was yesterday.

I'm getting some countering information trying to get one of these. The piston is in bad shape and I can't get it out of the bore. So I'm just going to replace. It is a front passenger, 1 1/16". Some of the parts stores can't get them. The prices vary wildly for those who can, and they can't get them quick. I tried Rock Auto, and every picture shows a double sided. Mine are single sided only. Not that the pictures always represent what you get. It almost looks like the double deal would bolt in and work, but not sure it would be right.I appreciate any advice I can get here.
hmm.... single or double... check your vin number...seems that one catalog shows wheel cylinders available in single ended or double ended ..http://www.johnsf100.com/catalog_download/1957-1966_catalog.pdf48 to 60 are single ended...61 to 64 are double ended..there is a foot note.. that one can add an additional pin to the brake shoes to convert single sided to double sided.. pin basic part number 2042A
you can also look up some of the parts here..http://www.centricparts.com/'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''check this site also... they are available thru many parts stores..http://www.centricparts.com/
I see that footnote. Strangely, most of the books say that late serial numbers in 63 are singles. Mine is a late number. Don't know what it came with exactly. I'm not entirely sure how those singles work as well as they do. Seems like the double would get more consistent shoe wear.Thank you for the direction. Local carquest found what I need, but need to wait a few days for it. The catalog you posted is a few bucks cheaper though, so I may consider them for the future for sure.

Is Larry Summers Taking Kickbacks From the Banks He's Bailing Out?
Posted on May 30, 2009

Is Larry Summers taking kickbacks from the banks he's bailing out?
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
A month after they invested in Summers' former company, all three banks came out of the stress test much better than anyone expected—thanks to the fact that the banks themselves were allowed to help decide how bad their problems were. (Citigroup "negotiated" down its financial hole from $35 billion to $5.5 billion.)
The fact that the banks invested in the company just a few months after Summers resigned suggests the appearance of corruption, because it suggests to other firms that if you hire Summers onto your board, large banks will want to invest as a favor to a politically connected director.
Last month, it was revealed that Summers, whom President Obama appointed to essentially run the economy from his perch in the National Economic Council, earned nearly $8 million in 2008 from Wall Street banks, some of which, like Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, were now receiving tens of billions of taxpayer funds from the same Summers. It turns out now that those two banks have continued paying into Summers-related businesses.

In September 2007, Revolution Money announced that it had raised $50 million from a group of investors including Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank. Some found the investment strange even then, because normally big banks don't get involved in seeding small startups—that's the domain of venture capitalists, not mega-banks. Especially not in September 2007, when these same megabanks were Chernobyling their way into full-fledged balance-sheet meltdown.
What seems clear is that at least part of Revolution Money's success in raising funds was due to their star-studded board of directors—which included not only Larry Summers, but also the notorious Frank Raines, the former Fannie Mae chief whom Time Magazine named to its "25 People to Blame for the Financial Crisis" list. Raines is still a board member.
Over the next year and a half, Revolution Money didn't quite live up to its promise of competing with PayPal or Visa/MasterCard. At least some of this could be attributed to the difficulty of starting up an online credit card company in the middle of a triple-cluster credit crunch, banking crisis and recession. But there is also evidence that the company wasn't run well. Another one of Steve Case's "Revolution" brand startups, Revolution Health (which also features a star-studded board of directors including Carly Fiorina, Colin Powell and several future Obama administration officials), essentially folded when it was sold to Everyday Health last September and merged into that company's operations.
In spite of all of this, on April 6, 2009, Revolution Money announced the happy news: it had just successfully raised $42 million in the most difficult market since the 1930s. The investors? Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley—bankrupt institutions that Larry Summers was transferring billions in bailout funds to.
At the very same time that these three megabanks were pouring millions into Summers' former company, Obama's economic team, starring Summers, was subjecting these same banks to the stress test to decide how deep in shit these same banks really were. The banks wanted the government to fudge the results for obvious reasons—who wants the world to know how deep of a hole you've dug for yourself?
When the stress test results were finally released, the banks all came out with glowing reports that beat expectations and caused plenty of skepticism.
In an interview for this article, William Black, a former bank regulator who exposed the $160 billion savings and loan scandal and its ties to powerful U.S. senators, remarked: "Summers wasn't hired [by Revolution Money] for his expertise, because he doesn't have relevant expertise in this kind of credit card operation."
"He's not a techie. He doesn't have business expertise," Black said. "So this is solely someone hired for the name and contacts, because he's politically active and politically connected. And that's made all the more clear by the fact that Frank Raines was put on the board at a time when he was pushed out in disgrace from Fannie Mae. Why? Because of his political connections."
And it worked, as the recent investment shows.
"That's the pattern of this entity," said Black, "which hasn't been doing well financially and desperately needs to get money from others, and has been able to get money from banks at a time when [these same banks] largely stopped lending to productive enterprises. But with this politically connected entity [Revolution Money], they're happy to dump money."
According to a company spokesperson, Summers resigned from the board of directors at Revolution Money this past January, just three months before the banks invested. On one of Revolution Money's main Web sites, Revolution Money Exchange, you could still see Summers' name still listed as a director when this story was filed.
(Oddly, company filings obtained for this article show that Summers wasn't even on Revolution Money's board of directors in 2007-08, even though both he and Revolution Money repeatedly stated that he was on the board, and only served on GratisCard's board in 2006.)
Whatever the case, Summers was pushing Revolution Money as recently as last September in an interview with Portfolio magazine:
"I've enjoyed being involved with a number of smaller companies such as the Revolution Money venture, which has a potentially very exciting credit-card technology, using credit and debit technology, using the Internet that, in a sense, brings together bricks and clicks by providing both a capacity for regular retail transactions and also for online."
Whether or not Summers has a personal interest in the company, it still stinks that a company where the head of the National Economic Council served on the board until just a few months ago subsequently received millions in investment funds from banks that Summers bailed out. Taxpayer dollars went into these banks, and from the banks into the Summers-connected firm, a firm he was hired onto precisely because his connections could bring in this kind of money.
His involvement wasn't just incidental. If you look at the press releases, Larry Summers' name is always touted as part of the selling point. One press release in 2007 refers to Summers as "legendary."
Moreover, Summers' longtime chief of staff, Marne Levine, who also served as Summers' chief of staff when he was in Treasury under Clinton and again at Harvard, joined Summers at Revolution Money, serving as "Director of Product Management."
Black pointed out another sleazy aspect of Revolution Money's pitch: it proudly boasted in late 2007 that it would make it easier than ever for people with low credit ratings to find access to lines of credit. In other words, Revolution Money billed itself as the ultimate ghetto loan shark.
That same 2007 press release that boasted of the "legendary" Larry Summers also said: "Unlike most bank credit card issuers who are limited to a narrow scope of credit approval guidelines specific to their bank, RevolutionCard seamlessly utilizes multiple partners to achieve unparalleled consumer approval rates."
Nineteen months later, Summers, now in control of the economy, appeared on "Meet The Press" and declared: "We need to do things to stop the marketing of credit in ways that addicts people to it and so that our households are again saving, and families are again preparing to send their kids to college, for their retirement and so forth."
So once again, Summers creates a problem that the rich profit from, then is put in charge of "fixing" it after vulnerable Americans have been picked clean.
Whether or not the three bailed-out banks' investment in Revolution Money last month represents some kind of bribe or kickback or even the appearance of corruption is almost secondary, because shameless cronyism is the problem, and it's the reason why America is in such a horrible mess today.
"Polite society was supposed to impose social pressures to make sure this wasn't tolerated," Black said. "Like the old phrase about hogs being slaughtered. But now the hogs get even wealthier, even fatter."
Everything about Summers, from his horrible track record in the developing world in the 1990s to the sleaze and plunder he's overseeing in the White House should make us terrified. Hell, he even looks like some old Batman villain: Summers, whose trademark bullfrog neck was enough of a distraction before Obama brought him into the White House, has seen his gelatinous layers of neck-fat swell up like an amphibian guarding its eggs ever since he took control of the economy.
Get this monster out of the White House now, before he devours us all.

These so called Titans of Commerce have like many of our politicians regarded the common citizens as the enemy and an inconvenience in their pursuit to pile up the cash and most importantly power. They also despise us for our stupidity and spineless inaction. Until the American people rise up in unison much like during the Viet Nam War years, they laugh all the way to the Bank. Don't forget their motto, " there is a sucker born every minute ", and there were a lot of suckers born when Obama was elected.

The elephant in the room is the question of why President Obama is protecting this man, who is compromised on so many levels - who almost certainly belongs in prison. What the hell is going on, and why is NOBODY in the media talking about why Larry Summers, Mr. Deregulation, Mr. Goldman Sachs, Mr. Bail Out The Speculators, Save The Hedge Funds, Screw the Taxpayers, is running Obama's economic team?

Rock Tumbles Down Kalihi Mountain
An 18-inch rock, weighing about 150 pounds tumbled down a hillside behind a home on Kula Kolea Place in Kalihi last night. There were no injuries and no property was damaged. The Department of Land and Natural Resources says the rock came from private land. Officials are assessing the situation today. Last year, several large boulders rolled down the hill and struck three homes on Kula Kolea Place.

So... just wanted to give you all a warning. A little while back, I made the decision to purchase Rosetta Stone software for Portuguese. Like everyone with a budget, I was appalled at the high prices, but really wanted to give it a try in spite of mixed reviews.
Anyhow.. somehow I ended up on http://www.rosettaus.com/, which looked EXACTLY like the regular Rosetta site only cheaper - look and see for your self. The official site is . Rosettaus.com costs $150 and the real thing advertises a $479 price.
Well, a week or two later, the product arrived from China. It looked exactly like what I would expect a Rosetta Stone box to look like, but the box actually broke when I was opening it and the discs were obvious copies. I have to admit that I kind of suspected something funny due to the price, but I didn't really care.. after all, I was saving money.
Anyhow, the system did work for about two uses and then stopped functioning totally. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times and nothing. I decided to go to the site for tech support... funny no tech support number or anything like that. I emailed the contact option given and nothing. Then, finally I remembered that at one point I had been sent a tracking number, so I emailed the customer service rep that sent me the shipping tracking number.
She tried to do troubleshooting with me via email and in spite of a very poor grasp on the English language (hmmmm... maybe she should use the products that she's selling.) Once I sent her screen shots of the error messages I was getting and she realized that it just wasn't going to work, she offered me a 50% refund. I said that I don't want money - I want a working Rosetta Stone program. Every time I asked for them to ship me another one, she would respond with a slightly higher refund offer.
Finally, I explained to her that I could get my money back because I used a credit card to pay. I just wanted to give them a chance to give me a working product before I did this. Well, she never did agree to re-ship another Rosetta Stone set, but said that she could give me an 80% refund, which was the price of the product, but that the other 20% covers shipping which cannot be refunded.
Anyhow... I am tempted just to take the offer so I don't have to hassle with the bank, but still not sure. I told her yes and will be watching my credit card statement closely.
Just wanted to warn you all here so you can avoid this and I also thought it was interesting based on some of the news stories I've heard lately such as the fake Apple store in China..


text: Posted November 9, 2013 The Tinderbox fascinates me. I have taken a fairly big step backwards in posting in here in favor of constantly lurking (with the exception of religious threads) and analyzing arguments and articles posted without providing any opinion or commentary on them. This is not because I am without opinion, but because I have become increasingly fascinated with observing the processes by which humans form ideology. I contend that we cast ideological lots, and much of what we hold to be true is held purely on faith by association. Examples of this phenomenon are everywhere in societies (globally, I would argue.) In religion, a religion's unverifiable claims are embraced without challenge because they are associated inextricably with necessity of adherence to that religion. In Islam, for instance, notions of the barzahk as a space between abstraction and reality wherein dreams can be interpreted is embraced as a tenet of Sufi philosophy and part of Islamic hermeneutics; even devout Muslims may contend that dream interpretation is independently absurd, but its association with a greater belief system is what gives it its clout (and, to an extent, its imperviousness.) To follow the monotheistic religious theme, orthodox Christianity is composed of a number of claims that, in a vacuum, would be considered ridiculous. But if you've already subscribed to the religion and ends, then the means are acceptable regardless of the implausibility of those means. We know dead people can't come back to life, but if we accept "Christianity is true" to be a true statement, then we can suspend our standards of belief to make room for it without a second thought. This phenomenon is just as easily visible in politics (and perhaps more readily noticeable in daily American political discourse.) Look at how some unlikely political issues are often allied. Parties rely on cohesive constituencies that constitute a voter bloc that reflect a particular platform. And suddenly with this in mind it makes a lot more sense that fundamentalist Christians, for instance, also strongly ascribe to 2nd amendment rights (when there is zero correlation to be drawn between fundamentalist Christianity and guns.) Some would even argue that Christianity and capitalist economic systems are mutually exclusive, but functionally this is not the case, and that's because of, again, association. We take it to be true because of our alliance with the ally of another position, all defined by the subtle movements of political or social structure. If this all seems a little abstract, consider any issue... say, for instance, global warming. Most of us have really strong opinions about global warming. But how many of us are climate scientists? How many of us have access firsthand to raw data? How many of us have drilled ice cores or measured oxygen levels in the North Pacific? The truth is most of us have opinions on whether or not global warming is real (or manmade) with absolutely nothing substantial to back them up. We quote sources of authority that we've placed our faith in based on their association with other things we already believe in. "I believe that Democrats are bad, and Democrats are banging the climate change drum, therefore it's fake." Or, "I believe anti-science is religious bias, and that's stupid so climate change is real." Another example is evolution. How many of us are evolutionary scientists, or young-earth creationists dedicating lives to such a field? Mav1234 is the only one I can think of, but it seems most of us have an opinion on this. In essence we are casting our lots with whichever source of authority best matches the most important things we believe. If we hold the predetermined conclusion that the Bible is literally true, then we'll cast our lot with the YEC that claims radiocarbon dating is flawed even if we don't know the first thing about radiocarbon dating, just because he said so and he's on our side. I see this all the time, hardly a surprise given my social context. So what do we do about this? Should we do anything about it? Is it a problem at all? Is it just the way things are? Answering respectively: I don't know, I think so, yes, and yes. The fact is if any of us were to suspend decision-making until we fully understand an issue, none of us would believe in anything, or very few of us would, and most of us would have to either be MENSA members or old as hell to really legitimately substantiate that belief. So most of us just plug into our predetermined info sources and yammer on without considering we could be complete idiots in reality and then yell loudly about how other people are stupid. Why do you think echo chambers are so popular and marketable? ^ Look at that guy! He is Exhibit A. He has cast his lot irretrievably with a particular information source, which is reflective of a specific ideological bloc, and will be manipulated accordingly. ....so what? if this is all true, what do we do? how do we change our methodology of information-gathering, processing, belief-forming, and decision-making based on it? 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KINGSTON, Okla. — The Camp Cavett Bass Fishing event attracted its biggest turnout of children and volunteers, July 16 at Lake Texoma. It takes children from Oklahoma University Medical Center who are battling life-threatening and chronic illnesses out for a day on the water.
The special event drew 160 kids, which was a higher total than usual, according to Gene Gilliland, a North Oklahoma City Bassmasters club member and Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation fisheries biologist. Gilliland estimated that 15 B.A.S.S. Federation Nation members volunteered to man the boats for the "fish-for-anything" derby.
"We had 70 boats this year, which is the most we have ever had," continued Gilliland. "We were able to put very small numbers of kids in each boat. In the past we had people bring pontoon boats and we had to load them up because we didn't have enough fishing boats.
"Most of the kids are outpatients and they spend a lot of time in and out of the hospital for various treatments," said Gilliland. "They spend so much time doing that and don't get to do normal stuff kids do, such as go to summer camp."
Camp Cavett provides the kids with a week of outdoor experiences including the fishing day. "It gets them out on the water and they like to go fast in the bass boats," Gilliland said. "For them, it is a release, a way to forget about the illness and troubles they have and just be kids."
The North Oklahoma City Bassmasters has been involved with the fishing derby since its inception 14 years ago.

Step 1: Clean Out Your Beauty Closet
Pull open all those drawers, dump out the baskets, and empty your cabinets. Once everything is out on the floor, place each item into one of the following piles:
1. Special occasion items. Call it liquid confidence—liquid eyeliner, that is. Using these items is a luxurious experience that makes you feel like a movie star, though you wouldn't wear them to the office.
2. Items you use every day. These are the workhorses—the items that are appropriate for every occasion, the basics on which you build your beauty routine every day.
3. Things you never use or expired items. You have them for some reason...but just never use them.
4. Things you might use more if… Once you clean everything out, you might discover a Chanel compact you totally forgot about, nail polish in the perfect color that dried up when you left the top off or an item you've been meaning to try and haven't.
5. Duplicates. Shoot, you totally forgot you had deodorant and bought two more. Oh wait, five eye shadow palettes in brown?

ZeuS is a nasty piece of malware to be compromised with.
This is a generic summary of ZeuS and its origins:
Zeus (also known as Zbot, Kneber, PRG, NTOS, Wsnpoem and Gorhax) is a crimeware kit designed to steal banking information and credentials through various means. The Zeus trojan is spread mainly through drive-by downloads and phishing schemes. First identified in July 2007 when it was used to steal information from the United States Department of Transportation, it became more widespread in March 2009. In June 2009, security company Prevx discovered that Zeus had compromised over 74,000 FTP accounts on websites of such companies as the Bank of America, NASA, Monster, ABC, Oracle, Cisco, Amazon, and BusinessWeek.
This trojan has many versions, botnets (each owned by different groups), and vectors of attack. It started out as a Do-It-Yourself kit, purchased and modified with its own features. Some of the more common variants are easier to recognize, but some compromises are very stealthy targeted attacks. The polymorphic nature of ZeuS can be seen over the years:
On April 22nd, 2008:
The phishing Web site tries to exploit any software vulnerabilities, and if it finds one, will then load the Zeus Trojan onto the PC. Zeus is particularly dangerous: it can collect data on forms, take screen shots, pilfer passwords from browsers and remotely control the computer, Maimon wrote.
Zeus also comes in at least 150 flavors. One of the phishing kits being sold now for US$700 masks how Zeus appears to security programs. That kit uses a binary generator, which creates a new binary file for Zeus for every kit.
Antivirus programs uses signatures, or data files, that describe what malicious programs "look" like in order to be detected. But creating new binaries can render security programs blind. Most of the popular antivirus programs can't detect the variants.
On May 15th, 2008:
Online fraudsters that aren't highly skilled in the arts of cyber crime can now rent a service that offers an all-in-one hosting server with a built-in Zeus trojan administration panel and infecting tools, allowing them to create their own botnet.
EMC's security division, the RSA Anti-Fraud Command Centre (AFCC), cited an increase in the use of the Zeus trojan in attacks against financial institutions in its April online fraud report, claiming the trojan is "extremely user friendly and easy to operate".
Over the years it has continued to show up in the news with additional twists and turns:
On May 8th, 2009:
Botnets aren't just dangerous because they can steal massive amounts of personal data and launch denial-of-service attacks�they can also self-destruct, leaving the owners of affected machines in the dust. The controllers of one such botnet recently hit the kill switch for one reason or another, taking down some 100,000 infected computers with it.
On September 12, 2009:
Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham continue to study the Zeus Bot trojan this week as a new spam campaign seeks to extend this already prolific bank robbery malware. This is the fourth major Zeus-spreading spam campaign that we've seen hit the UAB Spam Data Mine in the past few months.
The email, which uses a subject line "Notice of Underreported Income" and claims to be sent from "Internal Revenue Service" claims that you need to visit a website to review an issue of "Unreported/Underreported Income" which seems to have been detected by the "Fraud Application" at the IRS.
On October 28th, 2009:
The new phishing email, which masquerades as a message from Facebook, promises to give users a new and easier login process. The "new login system" is thoughtfully sent with the user's username already filled in, researchers say. All the user has to do is "give your password to update your account."
According to a blog by researchers at security company AppRiver, the phishing attack has been spotted on smartphones using Facebook applications, where it carries the actual Facebook logo.
On November 12th, 2009:
Spam has been detected as being sent from the Zeus botnet that prompts users to update their MySpace account.
Trend Micro senior security advisor Rik Ferguson claimed that the spam is similar to the Facebook-related spam seen last week, with the user �required to update' their MySpace account with a link provided.
Ferguson said: �The link in the mail leads to a standard fake MySpace login page, so of course your account details are stolen. Once you have �logged in' though, the supposed �MySpace Update Tool' is waiting to trick the unwary into installing their very own variant of the Zeus agent.� Trend Micro detected this threat as TSPY_ZBOT.SMP.
On November 18th, 2009:
Two suspected computer hackers have been arrested in Manchester in a major inquiry into a global internet scam designed to steal personal details.
The investigation focused on the ZeuS or Zbot trojan - "a sophisticated malicious computer program", said police.
The pair being questioned were arrested on 3 November under the 1990 Computer Misuse Act and the 2006 Fraud Act.
On December 9th, 2009:
A new wave of a Zeus bot (Zbot) variant was spotted taking advantage of Amazon EC2�s cloud-based services for its C&C (command and control) functionalities.
On January 11th, 2010:
Zeus fake OWA was already spotted last year, and its come back scene displays more custom targets.
Don�t be fooled by these compelling words, clicking URLs may lead your browser to drive-by known exploit attack, and/or installation of Zeus bot variant.
On January 22nd, 2010:
A new iteration of Zeus, a notorious password-stealing trojan, is victimizing users of AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), according to researchers at anti-virus vendor Webroot.
People using the popular instant messaging platform receive an email message announcing an update and are then prompted to click through to download what appears to be a legitimate file, aimupdate_220.127.116.115.exe. However, the so-called update is, in fact, the Zeus installer, which can then transfer itself onto the victim's machine, whether or not the AIM user clicks on the link to download the executable file.
This article highlights the ZeuS Tracker, a site successful at tracking command and control servers:
In the twelve months since the ZeuS Tracker was born, on 2 February 2009, the site has tracked more then 2,800 malicious botnet command and control servers associated with ZeuS. The site has logged around 360MB ZeuS config files and 330MB in binaries.
The ZeuS Tracker mentioned in the article is a publicly available and relatively up to date list of known C&C servers participating in a ZeuS botnet. Here are some quick stats from the site (as of 2/3/2010):
* ZeuS C&C servers tracked: 1196
* ZeuS C&C servers online: 606
* Average binary Antivirus detection rate: 51.29%
And a lookup tool:
To learn more about how ZeuS works, here are really good analyses that picks apart the bot:

"Lego: The motion Picture" Will Appear in 3D in February 2014
LEGO: The Motion Picture, originally named LEGO: The Piece of Resistance, is a Warner Bros. Pictures stereoscopic 3D movie scheduled for theaters on February 7, 2014. It's said to be a cross of live action and animation.
The plot is not officially revealed, however... in 2012, Phil Lord said: "It is the story of a young man who doesn't have a creative bone in his body and he has to always build things from the instructions, he's an 'instructions worker'. In the LEGO city, they build buildings, and it turns out in this universe it's illegal to build apart from the instructions. So what he finds out is that he's actually [a] descendant from these like super creative Jedi-type people who are called 'Master Builders' and he has been charged with saving the universe from being frozen together by an evil bad guy, so over the course of the movie he has to unlearn all of that lame-o, uncreative stuff and learn how to build without all of the instructions in order to save the universe."
Chris Patt will do the voice of the main LEGO minifigure character along with, among other actors, Morgan Freeman, Channing Tatum, Liam Neeson, and Elisabeth Banks.
LEGO Movie on IGN News
Story of a long in the making movie
The plans to develop the movie were revealed in August 2009. In June 2010 it was reported that Phil Lord and Chris Miller were going to write and direct the movie. In November 11, 2011 it was revealed that the release of the film will be in 2014 and it would be developed by the Australian company Animal Logic. In March 2012, Phil Lord and Chris Miller stated a possible working title could be "LEGO: The Piece of Resistance" and that story development, character design, and casting would begin shortly. "In the 3 to 4 months, hopefully," Phil Lord stated. Read more in Lego.wikia.com.

Players prep for cold Super Bowl XLVIII
JERSEY CITY, N.J. - So much for all of the hand-wringing about a snowed-in Super Bowl.
If the National Weather Service's forecast is correct, the buzz about a blizzard at the first cold-weather, outdoor Super Bowl will turn out to be just talk. As of Wednesday, no snow, or even rain, was being predicted for Sunday's game between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks.
Players on both teams have experienced chilly conditions during games, of course, although they don't regularly brace for the sort of brrrr that's anticipated for this Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium, even if there isn't any snow. The high temperature Sunday is expected to be 38 degrees, which would make it the coldest of the 48 Super Bowls so far.

Weeellll , weeellll, we have a new niece. Jayde adopted another chihuahua, a girl. She has some age on her but, she is really sweet and nice. Jayde named her Auria, her name was ChewChew but, Jayde thought she should have an appropriate girls name. She is bluish/brown with some white. She attached to Jayde really quickly. Like the rest of us she walks around outside and follows my Mommy (her Nana)or my Daddy (her Pop-pa).
I have been watch Dora the Explorer and I learned "ooooowa" (ola). I am trying to teach Saige but, she still sounds like a cat, and she is a dog. How funny is that?
Max had been mischievous for a little bit. When Mommy and Daddy leave the house Max was climbing up on the cabinets, opening them up and going after food. He was nice enough to share with us. Mommy and Daddy knows who is the climber, Max. Another funny thing he climbs like a cat but, he is a dog too. So when Mommy and Daddy leave Max has to go in his kennel now. No more treats when Mommy and Daddy are gone. They use to get me to be the look out, I can see who drives us through Jayde's window.
Now we all hang out watching out of Jayde's window.
I recently turned one. They expect me to be growing out of my puppy stages, but I like being a puppy. I am listening a little better, but I do not like sharing Daddy with my puplings, so at night when they come near him in the bed I growl at them, well not at Max because he can't see and he needs me and Daddy to help him.
I recently celebrated my 1st birthday, it was so exciting! I would like to say thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, it is great to know I have so many pals who think about me.
My human sister, Jayde got her another chihuahua a few days ago and we have all adjusted, including her just fine. She is quiet a bit older though and listens well. She reminded Jayde of her Scrappy that passed away in 2010.
As always I am still a spoiled rotten brat. My Daddy spoils me.
Right now my best bud is Big Elliot. Where he goes I go, I like to ride his bak, sit on his head and cuddle with him at night. He is such an awesome big brother.
I may be small, but I have loud bark. When mommy and daddy first brought me home I tried to nurse on Sugar, Sasha and even Max. Silly me, Max is a boy, no wonder I could not find what I was looking for. But, Max lets me climb all over him and pull his ear and tail. Sasha plays with me now too, I can actually grab her by her legs and she does not mind. I even try to bite Sir Elliot on the rear, he is scared of me and he jumps straight to the couch with a big boom! Mommy and Daddy treats me to a lot of new clothes, hair bows and even Frosty Paws ice cream by Purina. We are treated like royality here, we each have our own cradle with cute blankets. But, I am not crazy about that thing they call a bath...they wet me with that stuff I drink, then put something on me that gets white, and smells pretty. Oh, one of my pet peeves is when mommy puts those 'cute little bows' in my hair. Then she keeps telling daddy, "Sha look your cutie patootie monkey daddy.". Daddy rolls his eyes and say, "yeah". I think that means he is on my side and could care less. Sasha leaves those things in her hair, she told me mommy will only keep putting them back in and she is right, I think mommy has eyes everywhere because she notices when we pull them out.
Oh, on my trip to my new home I threw up all over daddy, but he did not mind. I have to take motion sickness meds when I ride. Daddy says I may outgrow it, I hope so because my fur around my mouth gets yucky and mommy gets sick when she cleans it up. Well, it is almost my bedtime so nighty, nighty for now and I hope I make some cool pup pals here.
