Ash and Nick are both actors who have also had experience in designing, directing and film editing. They knew they wanted to do something funny and creative for their engagement shoot, rather than the standard cheesy hug-each-other-and-smile-in-a-dreamy-field kind of pictures. Massive horror and Halloween fans too, the idea of recreating some of their favourite TV and movie scenes fell into place after that!
"The inspiration actually came from our wedding venue, Camp Puh'Tok", said Ash. "The moment we set foot in the dining lodge, we both thought 'OH MY GOD, IT LOOKS JUST LIKE THE KITCHEN FROM WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER!', and it took off from there."
"Nick and I came up with the list of films and shows we wanted to pay homage to, and sourced all the costumes and props from friends, online shopping, Halloween stores, and our own wardrobes. My friend Jen is in our wedding party, and also a makeup artist, so she came along to help with each costume change, and our amazing wedding photographer Nessa K worked her magic behind the camera."
They recreated Wet Hot American Summer…

The spindle palm, Hyophorbe verschaffeltii is closely related to the bottle palm, Hyophorbe lagenicaulis. Like bottle palms, they are easy to care for and nearly extinct in the wild.
Growing from 6-12 feet tall, this is a good palm for small landscapes. In a mature specimen, three quarters of this height is trunk.
This palm tends to form a slender gray or tan trunk which bulges near the base or higher up toward the bright green to turquoise crown shaft. The trunk is attractively ringed by leaf scars. This beauty of the trunk is only revealed if the old boots are removed.
A head consisting of several (6-10) feathery medium green fronds to 7 feet long sets atop the crown shaft. The fronds have an upright habit but curve downward at the tips. Each leaflet is about 2 inches wide and more than a foot long.
In the spring, fragrant yellow flowers hang like fringe from stout foot long stalks which emerge from the trunk just below the crown shaft. When it is in bloom the palm takes on the appearance of a pom pom girl.
The inch long oval fruits which follow the flowers look like strands of purple beads. If you want to collect seed for planting, chose only unblemished fruit. Clean off the fruit and dry the palm seeds before storing them.
Buy an 8' Spindle - Medium Palm Tree
Plant them in full sun to part shade locations. Space them 10-15 feet apart.
Regular water is a must. This is not a drought tolerant palm so don't let it dry out.
This is a tropical palm. It will only survive outdoors in USDA zones 10 and 11. If you want to grow it in a colder area, it will live happily in a pot for many years.
It is a slow grower, but faster than Hyophorbe lagenicaulis which also grows well in a pot. There is another relative, Hyophorbe indica, the Champagne palm which will also thrive in a container. The Champagne palm is a bit hardier and can be planted into zone 9b.
Spindle palms are well suited to coastal Southern California and are good palms to plant in South Florida.
Conservation Note: According to Palms Throughout the World, fewer than 50 plants of H. verschaffeltii remain in the wild.

A grounding question for multiple enclosures
The setup I have so far.....
240v supply to my PSU case. The case is grounded to mains ground. The PSU feeds an amp enclosure via a 4 pin din type connector. The four pin connector carries +25v, -25v, two 0v and the the main earth.
The amp enclosure has a Star Power Ground connected to the main ground via a 10ohm resistor and two back to back diodes. The Star Audio Ground is connected to the Star Power Ground via another 10 ohm resistor in parallel with two back to back diodes.
Everything works fine, no hum, ground loop etc, but if I were to build a pre-amp/DAC in a separate enclosure, what would I do with the Power and Audio grounds in this enclosure?

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose!
Football season is right around the corner. Whether you're scrambling to put together your top picks for your fantasy team, planning an epic viewing party to kick off the season, or training (because you literally play football), there are several inspirational moments from football movies to pump you up for the season.
While you sit around pondering your league's most ingenious fantasy team name yet–we like "Wam! Bam! Thank you Cam!" referencing Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton and "Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood," a nod at the Packers QB–here's a suggestion for what to give your league champion this year. Forego the cheap plastic trophy. Spend (some of) the buy-in money on one of these unbelievably intricate trophy rings instead. Even Terrell Owens agrees that you will definitely want to win and show it off to everyone you know.
If draft day comes and you're down on your luck, because it looks like Adrian Peterson is going to have to carry your whole team again this year, no worries. We have six inspirational moments from some of your favorite football movies to carry you through this season. Whether you need coach Tony D'Amato's electrifying "Inches" speech from Any Given Sunday to rile you up or coach Jack Lengyel's inspiration talk from We Are Marshall to push you onward, we have it.
Here are six incredibly inspirational moments from football movies to pump you up for this season.
1. Coach Boone (Denzel Washington) from Remember the Titans (2000)
Coach Boone: "What are you?"
Team: "Mobile, agile, hostile!"
Coach Boone: "What is pain?"
Team: "French bread!"
Coach Boone: "What is fatigue?"
Team: "Army clothes!"
Coach Boone: "Will you ever quit?"
Team: "No! We want some mo', we want some mo', we want some mo'!"
2. Fortune (Charles S. Dutton) from Rudy (1993)
"You're five-feet-nothin.' A hundred-and-nothin,' and you got hardly a speck of athletic ability. And you hung in with the best college football team in the land for two years! And you're also going to walk out of here with a degree from the University of Notre Dame. In this lifetime, you're gonna have to prove nothing to nobody except yourself."
Spoiler Alert: Rudy ends up getting put in a game and is carried off the field triumphantly by his teammates. Fortune is one proud mentor.
3. Coach Gary Gaines (Billy Bob Thornton) from Friday Night Lights (2004)
"Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn't let them down, because you told them the truth."
"And that truth is that you did everything you could. There wasn't one more thing that you could have done."
"Can you live in that moment? As best you can, with clear eyes and love in your heart. With joy in your heart."
"If you can do that gentlemen, then you're perfect."
4. Coach Jack Lengyel (Matthew McConaughey) from We Are Marshall (2006)
"When you take that field today, you've got to lay that heart on the line, men. From the soles of your feet, with every ounce of blood you got in your body, lay it on the line until the final whistle blows. And if you do that… if you do that, we cannot lose."
5. Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) and Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) from The Blind Side (2009
6. Coach Tony D'Amato (Al Pacino) from Any Given Sunday (1999)
"I'll tell you this. In any fight, it's the guy who is willing to die who is going to win that inch. And I know if I am going to have any life anymore it's because I am still willing to fight and die for that inch. Because that is what living is. The six inches in front of your face."
What moment do you think was the most inspirational?

Jumbo Electronics
Like many of our Rich List, Manohar 'Manu' Chhabria started from humble beginnings but that didn't stop him becoming one of the region's most successful businessmen.
The former radio parts trader established Jumbo Electronics in Dubai in 1974 with a modest capital base of only AED50,000. Using Akio Morita, the co-founder of Sony, as an inspiration, Chhabria played a key role in transforming the consumer electronics business in the UAE using innovative marketing strategies and aggressive acquisitions.
The Harvard business graduate earned the nickname 'takeover tycoon' following his acquisitions of Shaw Wallace, Mather & Platt and Dunlop India, to name but a few.
Following Chhabria's death in 2002, his wife, Vidya, and three daughters, Komal, Bhavika and Kiran (shown left; a partner in the company), took over the running of his business empire. Now, 38 years after Jumbo Electronics was founded, the firm deals with some of the world's biggest retail names, including Apple, BlackBerry and LG.
It has also branched out into telecommunications, office automation, enterprise solutions and even building services. And the growth just keeps on coming; in the first half of this year, Jumbo Electronics posted a 20 percent increase in sales in comparison to the same period in 2010. It has also spent heavily on its customer service centre and warehousing facilities, which are based in Dubai's Jebel Ali Free Zone.
Today, despite legal wrangling over Manu's estate, and the impact of the global recession on a number of the firm's brands, the Chhabrias remain one of Dubai's most prominent expatriate success stories.

Pinterest is seeing explosive growth in social media market share across the world, up 5124% in share of visits to all social media sites in North America, according to new data from Experian Hitwise UK. A separate study from Experian Marketing Services finds that brands that promote the social network in their emails are generating open rates that are 11.1% higher than other promotion mailings, and unique click rates that are 24.7% higher. That study reveals that the top social networks displayed or promoted in emails are Facebook (97%), Twitter (91%), YouTube (45%), and Pinterest (32%).
The Experian Marketing Services study indicates that emails promoting Pinterest generate an average open rate of 14.1%, slightly higher than those promoting Twitter (14%), and 11% higher than those promoting Facebook (12.7%). Pinterest-promoting emails also garner stronger unique click rates, at 2.6%, compared to 2.3% for emails promoting Twitter and 1.9% for those promoting Facebook.
Further details suggest that Twitter is no slouch in generating opens. In fact, Twitter "Follow us" mailings see open rates that are 9.5% higher than other mailings. Even so, there is not much variance in unique click rates, with "Follow us" mailings only seeing 0.7% higher unique clicks than other mailings.
"Like us" emails (promoting a Facebook presence) fare relatively poorly, with just a 1.5% higher-than-average open rate, and a 17.5% lower-than-average unique click rate. What these emails do achieve, though, is an uptick in website traffic: 60% of the brands studied that used "Facebook" in their email subject line averaged a 27% increase in traffic to their website from Facebook the week following deployment.
According to the Experian Hitwise UK findings, Pinterest has not only seen massive social media market share growth in North America, but also in Australia (798%), Hong Kong (2373%), New Zealand (843%), Singapore (623%), and the UK (1489%). Instagram's growth has been similarly spectacular, up: 362% in Australia; 132% in Hong Kong; 843% in New Zealand; 17,319% in North America; 8,121% in Singapore; and 2,028% in the UK.
According to the latest comScore Media Metrix data, based on the top 250 properties in July, Instagram grew the most rapidly, with a 38% rise in visitors, to 22.74 million.

Brooke talks to Jill Lesser, Executive Director of industry group the Center for Copyright Information, about how the six strikes program will work. Acid Pauli - Mst Transcript BROOKE GLADSTONE: Starting in the next couple of months, five of the country's largest Internet service providers, AT&T, Cablevision, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Verizon will implement what is called the Copyright Alert System, known colloquially as "six strikes." In the works for over a year, the system is meant to create an escalating series of penalties for serial illegal downloaders. Jill Lesser is the executive director of the Center for Copyright Information, which is a collaboration between organizations like the Motion Picture Association of America and the Recording Industry Association of America, with the ISPs, to implement the Copyright Alert System. Jill, welcome to On the Media. JILL LESSER: Thank you. BROOKE GLADSTONE: The system works by content holders joining peer-to-peer networks, in order to monitor what kind of material is being illegally downloaded, right? And then what happens? JILL LESSER: And then they identify individual files and send notices to Internet service providers, who then pass those notices on to their customers, in the form of copyright alerts. BROOKE GLADSTONE: What do these alerts look like? JILL LESSER: So the initial alerts inform the primary account holder that somebody made content available illegally over their Internet connection. They explain to the consumer how this might have happened and what the consumer can do to ensure it doesn't happen again. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Like what? JILL LESSER: Like ensuring their wireless connection is password protected. They also provide links to authorize legal ways for you to find that content. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Okay, you've got your first alert, which you describe. And the second alert is basically similar to the first. [LAUGHS] And then the third alert in the fourth alert also similar to those educational messages but they will appear in a conspicuous manner, and that will require the user to acknowledge that you've gotten the alert. Then you get to the fifth alert, and this refers to so-called "mitigation measures." JILL LESSER: So the mitigation measures are intended to really get people's attention. They range from putting a user through a copyright tutorial – you know, what is copyright, how have you potentially engaged in illegal behavior - to a couple-of-day reduction in Internet speed, depending on the ISP. BROOKE GLADSTONE: And so far I understand there are no plans by any of the ISPs to include actually disconnecting users from the Internet as part of the punishments. But Verizon will slow the Internet speed to potentially 256 kilobytes per second, which is basically unusable by any modern Internet standards. So isn't that the same? JILL LESSER: No, it really isn't the same. The reduction of speed which one or more of the ISPs will be using as the mitigation measure, is – first of all, it's only 48 hours, which is far from termination. I think at the point that you have received "This is your fifth copyright alert," you have acknowledged two of them and you are still engaging in copyright infringement, then that person might need an extra, [LAUGHS] "You know, you really need to stop." BROOKE GLADSTONE: I wanted to ask you, though, about the people who may feel that they are being wrongly accused. The appeals process involves a $35 fee, which would be refunded if the appealer wins. Is this to keep people from filing nuisance appeals? JILL LESSER: I think it is intended, certainly, to discourage frivolous appeals. It is, as you said, refunded if successful, and it is also waiveable if someone can't afford it. BROOKE GLADSTONE: What happens if you get seven, eight and nine strikes? JILL LESSER: We hope that by the time people get to alerts number five or six, they will stop. Once they've been mitigated, they've received several alerts, we're just not gonna send them any more alerts because they're not the kind of customer that we're going to reach with this program. BROOKE GLADSTONE: So what happens to them? JILL LESSER: Nothing under this program. BROOKE GLADSTONE: So either they get sued by someone or you stop mitigating and you just give up and walk away. JILL LESSER: Exactly. But let me just say this: If we reach consumers where they can hear us – you know, this is what this means and this is how you can find content in a legal way - we hope we will actually not be sending a lot of fifth and sixth notices. BROOKE GLADSTONE: As you've described it, the Copyright Alert System, it's unlikely to stop or even catch the worst offenders because those knowledgeable offenders will use virtual private networks and, and they'll figure out ways to avoid detection. JILL LESSER: There are certainly other ways that content owners address those issues, but for us it is reaching the casual infringer, which is a large percentage of peer-to-peer piracy. BROOKE GLADSTONE: You know, the Recording Industry Association of America filed 20,000 lawsuits against infringers that it said was meant to, quote, "educate" but it didn't end up slowing piracy at all. JILL LESSER: It's been at least five years since suing individuals was really a strategy of the industry. I think part of the reason why they came to the table to do this kind of a voluntary educational effort is in the hopes of having a different kind of approach and one that says to consumers, this behavior needs to stop, but also helps consumers, number one, understand why and, number two, find what they're looking for in a legal authorized way. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Wouldn't it have been great if this had all happened five years ago or ten? JILL LESSER: I think we would be in a different place, yes. [LAUGHS] BROOKE GLADSTONE: Jill, thank you very much. JILL LESSER: You're welcome. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Jill Lesser is the executive director of the Center for Copyright Information.

But even more than that, we love seeing them build and publish beautiful websites that help them achieve their goals, whether it's the next viral blog, a professional small business website or even a bustling online community.
The great thing about Host Papa is that I never have to worry about Host Papa.
Alexi Hobbs
Montreal, Québec, Canada
HostPapa has been great. It is the only hosting site I've used because I was advised to use it from other web masters. The customer service is great, it's nice to know the service is powered by clean energy, and there are some great perks with a new package!
Tom Barr
Broomfield, Colorado, USA
Hostpapa has streamlined my hosting needs into a low-cost highly usable package that has put a huge amount of time back into my development cycles and taken it out of needless technical issues
Jeff Vermeer
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I love that Host Papa uses renewable energy and is located in Niagara Falls, ON. The product is good and the support is great.
Catheirne Rieley-Goddard
Buffalo, New York, USA
I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Host Papa. Tech support has been there when I need it and the cost in reasonable.
Jeff Flanagan
Guelph, Ontario, Canada
My experience with HostPapa has been nothing but amazing, I would recommend it to everyone.
Alejandro Pino
St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada
I have been very happy since i switched to HostPapa. Excellent value for the money. Good resources and tools for understanding how to host and support when needed. I did have one small error they made, accidentally not renewing my domain but they made it up to me.
Johnny Hatch
Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada
HostPapa is easy to use for those that are not 'html'-savy.
My favourite thing about HostPapa is the people! I have talked to about half a dozen people and have never had a bad experience. They are really professional, nice, friendly and knowledgeable. HostPapa customer service and support always help troubleshoot problems on the site and if they do not know exactly how to solve (my problem), they'll try to figure it out.
Jim Chapman
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
I chose HostPapa because we needed to switch from our old web host site. I searched the Internet for reviews comparisons, etc. and HostPapa constantly ranked very highly. Also, it was a Canadian company… Also, during the problems with my old host, I e-mailed HostPapa to ask for help and opinions, etc. and they were always quick to respond and help in any way they could even though I had not even signed up yet!

Salty Grips Putter Grip Review
By mootruck98 on 5/8/13
By Kyle Conway, Handicap Index 31.4
The Salty Grip putter grip is simply a cork grip, similar to those found on a fishing rod. It sounded weird and out of place on a golf club when I was first asked to review it. I am in the market for a new putter anyways so I didn't have anything to lose by handing my putter over to mustang6560. He regripped it and got it back to me the next weekend. I now have put a few rounds on it and I'm pleasantly surprised.
From Salty Grips:
Borrowed from the fly rod and tailored for the putter, Salty Grips are a stylish and sustainable alternative to rubber. Natural cork's light weight and smooth texture enhance feel and encourage a confident putting stroke.
Learn More About Salty Grips
The first thing I think of with cork is a nice bottle of bourbon, but next is a fishing pole grip. It's the latter that really comes to mind when you see this grip. They are both grips after all. It was a little larger than I thought it would be, and a bit thicker than the grips on fishing poles I grew up with. The Salty Grips website calls it a mid plus putter grip. It's by no means an oversized grip, but if it was any larger it wouldn't fit in the putter sleeve on my bag. It takes some getting used to seeing, but not in a bright-orange-Ricky Fowler sort of way. It stands out as different, but the natural wood color does not draw attention to itself.
So the key thing in my experience with this grip is the weight. It is super lightweight at only 42 grams. I never realized how heavy my stock grip was until I tried this one out. The weight or lack thereof completely changed the balance and feel of my putter. As I tried it out it took some getting used to. My first round with it was not successful, but let's just say not much was right with my game that day. So I wanted to withhold judgement until I could get a few more rounds in with it. The more I used it, the more comfortable I became with it. I started to see that the change in balance let me feel what my putter head was doing better. When I opened the putter face and pushed a putt out wide I felt it in addition to simply seeing the results. This is what I enjoyed most about this grip.
There is one other feature of this grip that I must mention. That is its absorption abilities. I've been known to have an ice cold beverage or two on the course (perhaps I should start tracking that). Occasionally the condensation from the can can leave my hand a bit moist, as can the humidity here in the South. When I reach for my putter, instead of having to chase down my towel in these cases and dry both my hands and the putter grip the cork simply absorbs some of the moisture. It's actually quite a benefit to this grip.
I've only had this grip for a couple of weeks so I cannot tell you how well it wears. Salty Grip's website does point out that you can use sandpaper to refresh your grip. Much like baseball players do with bats. Just another unique twist from the standard rubber grip.
So I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this grip, but it's still just a grip. It did not revolutionize my game and it won't do it for yours either. I guess the real question is would I put my money where my mouth is though? I plan on getting a new putter soon and am I going to put a Salty grip on it? I'm not sure, but it is going to get some heavy consideration. They are a little pricey (you can pick up a Salty Grip putter grip on the Company's website for $34.95), but then again most quality products are. If I regrip my new putter it will definitely be with a Salty Grip. So on the oobgolf Rating Key I would have to give the Salty Grip putter grip an 8.4 or "Very Good". A new putter grip is far from a must have, but if you're going that route then this grip sets itself apart.

birdieXris says:
Have you tested the grip in an extremely wet situation, such as light rain -etc? I'm interested to know wether or not the cork does absorb the water and if it changes it's characteristics. Increase in dimensions as little as 1/16" can affect balance of the club if the handle swells or retains water weighting.
Just curious.
mjaber says:
Since cork, in general, is scarce, I wonder how long the price will be "only" $34.95.
mootruck98 says:
Wet hands from grabbing a can from cooler was only wet test I did, but it absorbed that much almost instantly, without noticeable side effects.
Torleif Sorenson says:
Really thoughtful review, Kyle. Some teaching pros tell us to "swing the clubhead" and having more putter-head feel appeals to me, so I might have to try this.
NOTE TO GOLF BAG MANUFACTURERS: If you install a "putter well" separate from the top on your bags, make sure the diameter of the putter well is wide enough to accommodate oversize grips!
Sincerely, Tor.
mwbutton says:
Thanks for the review - we really appreciate it! We have never seen any evidence of swelling, and the cork sealant we apply to each grip should help prevent any such issues. Also, cork prices do fluctuate - but we've recently partnered with a great supplier that is helping us create a better grip at the same cost. Please look out for our new grips when they become available next month - you'll see and feel a noticeable improvement. As always, email us at email@example.com with any questions or concerns. Take care.
woobwoob says:
@mjaber... Exactly
birdieXris says:
Outstanding, thanks @mwbutton!
jpjeffery says:
"...you can use sandpaper to refresh your grip. Much like baseball players do with bats. Just another unique twist from the standard rubber grip..."
If you look up the Fred Couples edition of 'What's In My Bag' on YouTube he recommends keeping sandpaper in his bag for that exact purpose, but presumably he has rubber rather than cork grips...
windowsurfer says:
I replace grips and some I leave on or salvage because they can be reclaimed to "just like new" condition with a light sanding and soap + water. I'd guess cork would be similar. How important is the sealant? I have ancient fishing rods whose handles seem to be 100% functional and any added sealant they may have had is looong gone.
GolferAnt says:
Cool wish they were non tapered like superstroke grips. Hate tapering
phishin06 says:
the new Salty Grip models coming out are not tapered FYI :) They will be here soon
kess13 says:
I recently started gaming one these and it is awesome. i played 27 holes in the rain this weekend including setting the putter down in the sopping grass. the grip never missed a beat. At worst it felt damp, but by the time I got to the next green it was dry again. It never felt slick and the composition of the cork never changed. And the feel is unlike anything I've felt with a putter previous to this. I am a Salty convert.

Increase your solar system astrophotography efficiency with the affordable Orion Newtonian Visual Centering Device for Astrophotography. Thanks to its visual centering capabilities and compatibility with Newtonian reflectors, this device is a must-have accessory for anyone who uses a reflector telescope for lunar and planetary astrophotography.
Newtonian reflector telescopes arguably offer one of the best "bang-for-the-buck" values in astronomy and astrophotography today. When compared to other telescope designs, most Newtonian reflectors provide much more aperture and light-gathering than similarly priced refractors and Cassegrain telescopes. One other difference between reflectors and other telescope models is focus travel - Newtonians usually have much less focus travel than their refractor and Cassegrain telescope counterparts, so they are not compatible with standard flip-mirror accessories which can greatly improve imaging efficiency by allowing visual centering of target objects. Until now, anyone used a Newtonian reflector telescopes for planetary or lunar astrophotography had to resort to the inefficient task of taking multiple exposures just to confirm whether or not a target object is centered and framed in a desirable manner. Now, with the low-profile Orion Newtonian Visual Centering Device, astrophotography hobbyists who prefer to use reflector telescopes can enjoy the same level of convenience and efficiency that a flip-mirror would provide!
The Orion Newtonian Visual Centering Device for Astrophotography features a small, insertable "pick-off" prism which diverts a small section of the light cone collected by a reflector telescope into a built-in eyepiece so you can visually frame and center your target solar system object. The device is compatible with 1.25" eyepieces and also features camera T-threads, a focuser to T-threads adapter, and a T-threads to filter threads step-down ring for direct, secure attachment of virtually any video, CCD, or CMOS astrophotography camera for quick and easy capture of exposures. Once you've visually centered the Moon or planet you wish to photograph, simply retract the prism/eyepiece combination from the Visual Centering Device body and you're ready to capture nicely framed exposures.
The Orion Newtonian Visual Centering Device requires 41mm (1.61") of back-focus, and is crafted from finely machined and anodized aluminum. The device weighs just 7.2 ounces (0.45 lbs.), so you can enjoy its efficient centering functionality while keeping your imaging train nice and light.

Local CL add selling a framed original Star Wars movie poster. How can you tell if its real or not?-
Local CL add selling a framed original Star Wars movie poster. How can you tell if its real or not?-
From what I've heard the back will have a black light responsive stamp on it. Not sure if there's anything else.
Hope that helps.
Legitimate movie posters have a mirror image printed on the back that exactly matches what is on the front. However, I am only certain that that applies to today's movie posters; I am not sure if they were like that back in '77.
like lufo said, double sided posters didn't get big until the late 80's to early 90's. and even now that sometimes doesn't happen. another thing that companies did was to fold the poster into 8th's and ship them flat to theaters instead of rolled like they are today; they didn't care about creases back then.
just remembered, a real movie one-sheet is right in the neighborhood of 27"x40" or larger, sometimes you'll see one that is 26"x39" but if you're looking at a poster that's only 24"x36" that is not a movie poster, that's a poster you go buy in a store like walmart or hastings.
Trouble is they do reprints in 27x40 as well. Was thinking of taking a look at it, but want to know what to look for first.
Having just bought an origional, there are a couple of ways.
origionals are 27 x 41, the modern reprints are 27 x 40. the main things to look for are
style A, a hair on lukes belt - fake
style b, no gau logo on the bottom - fake
style c, a hair on leia's back - fake
rolled posters are like gold dust, you should see fold marks because in the 70's movie posters were folded before posting to the theaters. if it helps, the guy i bought mine from has some others he is selling (he is trying to fund a couple of new tk projects. I could hook you up?
I used to work for a frame store - and this totally correct!!!! Problem is, I don't know how you would tell BEFORE you purchased.origionals are 27 x 41, the modern reprints are 27 x 40
The problem I can see is twofold, do you ask the store to remove it from the frame for inspection, do they even know its a fake? Apparently there is a theory that the bootlegs were restrikes from the origional plates that got damaged (hence the hair) but if that is true then for me, they were not issued ergo are fakes. I guess its like anything, lots of research and try to buy from somewhere reputable that only deals in movie posters. I got my star wars from a sskunky over on the fisd/rpf forum and I know he has more for sale (reputable route). The empire and rotj came from internet movie poster dealers, who offered a full refund if not satisfied. I looked at the movie poster forum (there is a list of reputable dealers on there) and chose what i could afford from there.
to give you an idea, star wars was £420, empire (gone with the wind style) was £160 (bargain) and the rotj was only about 75 quid. That said you can pay an awful lot more

Tropical Storm Debby Hurt Pinellas County Beaches
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - University of South Florida researchers have found that Tropical Storm Debby swept an estimated 630,900 cubic yards of sand off three barrier islands in Pinellas County in June.
County officials say that restoring the beaches to their previous state could cost more than $25 million. Officials will want to fix the beaches because they draw tourists and money to the area.
The findings of the USF research were released Wednesday.
The June storm's three days of strong southerly wind eroded beaches that were already narrow.
The Tampa Bay Times reports at Pass-A-Grille beach, the sand dune line retreated by nearly 12 feet and the entire area lost about 36,500 cubic yards of sand. Sunset beach on Treasure Island lost 43,400 cubic yards.

Georgia Tech's standout DE Michael Johnson has all the ability and potential, as well as the physical tools, to become a dominant pass rusher. Johnson nearly decided to take his game to the next level after his junior campaign last season, but after weighing his options, he decided to stay with the Yellow Jackets for one more year.
Johnson has recorded 10 sacks during his career at Georgia Tech, and many project he will equal or surpass that total this season. But it's his run defense that needs to improve. Even though Johnson isn't the most reliable DE against the run, he's still one of the top pass rushers in the country and a potential top-ten pick in the 2009 draft.
In this Scout.com exclusive, Chris Steuber asked Johnson about his decision to stay in school for his senior season, what he has to do to improve his run defense, if he believes he could play linebacker in a 3-4 scheme, and much more as No. 93 is revealed.
Chris Steuber: Originally you declared for the 2008 NFL Draft, but you decided to rescind your declaration. Why did you decide to return to Georgia Tech for your senior season?
Michael Johnson: My parents and I prayed on it [the decision to stay in school], and afterwards we felt at peace with the decision to stay at Georgia Tech. It just felt right.
CS: Where did the NFL advisory committee project you going in the draft if you decided to enter?
Johnson: I was given a third round grade.
CS: Was that third round grade a major factor in your decision to come back to school?
Johnson: No, because I heard from scouts that I would have been a first day selection, so after I heard that I felt comfortable that I would have been a high pick. At the time, I didn't know that the first day was just two rounds. But the grade I received didn't factor in at all. If I made the decision to enter the draft, I would have worked my tail off and set myself up to be selected in the best possible position. I don't really care what's being said about where I may go [in the draft]; I'm just going to give it all I got.
Johnson is an athletic defender who attacks on the field and off the field he wants to give back.
Georgia Tech
CS: What were the pros of staying in school versus the pros of entering the draft?
Johnson: The pros of leaving school are to realize a dream of playing at the next level a year earlier. You get to play with and against players that you watched play on Sundays for many years, and just being on that level would be a dream come true. I hope it's something that I get to experience next year.
The pros of staying in school give me the opportunity to work towards graduation, and that's what you come to a school like Georgia Tech for; to get a degree. I get to enjoy my last year as a senior and enjoy the atmosphere on game days. To get to enjoy another year of college is going to be great, because once you get to the next level it's a business. People are there one day and then gone the next; you don't have the same kind of brotherhood and camaraderie that you had in college.
CS: How important is it to you and your family for you to walk away from Georgia Tech with a degree?
Johnson: It's very important. You don't choose a school like Georgia Tech to not walk away with a degree. The curriculum at Tech is so challenging that it isn't worth putting yourself through it if you didn't plan on finishing. Not to knock any of the other schools, but we are one of only a handful of schools that if you attend, you better get your degree.
CS: You're a management major - I'm assuming sports or business management - what do you plan on doing with that degree during or after your football career?
Johnson: My major is business management. I would like to go back to Alabama and run some type of recreation facility to train athletes. It could be an after school type of thing; it may even present an opportunity to do some teaching, I don't know. But I know I want to work with kids, and I want to show them how academics and athletics work hand and hand and how both are beneficial to where you want to go. I'd like to have academic learning available to them, as well as athletics like camps. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend camps as a kid, and I think it would be cool to be able to bring in athletes to conduct different camps for kids close to my home.
CS: One of the great advantages of being a professional athlete is the fame you achieve instantly, and with that fame comes the opportunity to start your own foundation. A foundation in your name would enable you to realize the goal of conducting camps just as you described and give back to the community you grew up in.
Johnson: Exactly; that's what it's all about. I always want to try to give back. I was fortunate enough to be blessed with great parents who instilled great leadership in my life. I want to give that same kind of support to others.
CS: On the field, you are still developing as a pass rusher, and you have a lot of great qualities. But what do you see in your game that you still have to improve on to become a dominant player?
Johnson: I just want to go out this year and show everybody that I can play every down and just have fun. I want to play the run, play the pass and just try to dominate.
CS: There are a lot of analysts that think you're primarily a pass rusher and that you don't defend the run very well. How do you prove those critics wrong this season?
Johnson: Come and watch me this season. I'm 100-percent healthy and I'm going to play a lot this year… [Laughs].
Johnson is one of the best pass rushers in college football, but he has to improve against the run.

CS: Do you hear a lot of negatives about your run defense?
Johnson: No, because my teammates and the people around me know that I can play. I respect my teammates and what they have to say; I don't really worry about it [the criticism].
CS: You're a freakish athlete with a tremendous 6-foot-7 frame. What do you weigh at this time, and do you feel comfortable at your weight, or do you want to get bigger?
Johnson: I weigh 260, but I wouldn't mind getting up to 265. Last year, I started the season at about 250 and ended the season at around 245. I'm excited to see what the increase in size will do for me this season. I think it will only help, especially against the run… [Laughs].
CS: Is there a player in the NFL that you pattern your game after?
Johnson: Julius Peppers is my favorite player and I've always enjoyed watching Jevon Kearse. I really enjoyed watching the Giants defensive line this past season with Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck; their pass rush was just nasty. I also enjoy watching DeMarcus Ware, Shawne Merriman and Mario Williams. I really enjoy watching the guys who are athletic and get after the quarterback.
CS: Like I previously stated, you're an athletic freak, and you have some versatility to your game. Do you think you could drop back on defense and play outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme at the next level?
Johnson: Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah… I can definitely do that.
CS: Where do you think you would be more effective: at defensive end or linebacker?
Johnson: It doesn't matter, I just feel comfortable on the field. Wherever they want me to play, I'll play. I'm not one to complain about what position I play or how much I play; whenever I'm out there I'm going to give everything I got.
CS: Talk about this year's squad; what do you guys have to do to get to a BCS game?
Johnson: We just have to sellout and do what the coaches want us to do. We have to follow their every detail every step of the way. I think we can accomplish some great things; we just have to do our jobs.
CS: Do you feel extra pressure this season, especially since you decided to come back for your senior season and because you're one of the top DEs in the country?
Johnson: I don't know how much is going to be put on me, but I'm thankful to have my surrounding cast; the cats inside like Vance Walker and Darryl Richard. Honestly, I don't even really feel like it's about me. I'm just glad to be back and have a lot of talented guys around me. I believe we can all make plays.
CS: You seem to have a bit of a reserved demeanor, would you say that you lead by example rather than being a vocal leader in the locker room?
Johnson: Definitely, I always try to lead by example. I try to set an example, especially for the freshman. I try to work hard in the weight room, running; all that stuff. I try to bring a lot of energy to the game and just try to show everyone how to have fun on the field. I'm not really a big talker in the locker room; I allow my actions to do all the talking.
CS: What are your goals for this season? Obviously raising your sack total is something you will focus on, but overall do you have any personal goals?
Johnson: The sacks will come with me just being on the field more. I'm not really worried about that; I just want to create turnovers. Turnovers sway the momentum of the game, and for all my teammates on defense, I want that to be our goal. We have to make the opponent put the ball on the ground and take it out of the air from them. I don't care how we do it; I just want to get as many turnovers as possible, and if we can lead the country in sacks again, that would be nice.

Elisa Gabbert's Favorite Tweets
We love Elisa Gabbert's poetry and perfume-essays, but we also adore her blog, The French Exit. Gabbert totally owns the list post genre. For a bit of education and some mid/late-week cheer, have a look at her favorite tweets of all time–parts one, two and three. You'll see tweets from poet Mark Wallace on the nature of rejection letters, humorous-tweets about technology and dentistry, and witty tweets from Lemon Hound that riff off a Margaret Atwood poem.

Find yourself printing an Excel worksheet just for editing purposes? Let's face it, not everyone does their best editing on the screen… some people just need to have it on paper with pen in hand to do quality editing work.
However, if you're like me then it begins to feel like a waste of resources.
Ink and toner aren't cheap so printing high quality stuff just to take a pen to it for editing seems like such a waste.
While I can't do anything about the paper part of the printing, I can do something about the amount of ink or toner I use to print the drafts meant for editing.
So let's take a look at setting Excel to print drafts as drafts and let's save a few cents here and there.
The first place we need to go is to the Page Setup dialog box.
In Excel 2007 go to the Page Layout tab of the Ribbon and click the dialog launcher located in the bottom right corner of the Page Setup section.
Older versions of Excel require you to go to the File menu, Page Setup choice.
Once there we all need to go to the Sheet tab.
In the Print section check Draft quality and click OK.
Now when you print the worksheet you'll get everything you need, the printing won't be as fine-tuned as a finished product, but it will serve your purposes.

Even through the first half of the Black Ops 2 campaign I wasn't convinced. At one point I even sent a text to SG's own Bryan Cole reading, "This campaign to Black Ops 2 is so horribly written. Pathetic."
War isn't fun. Nothing about war is supposed to be fun. The problem with nearly every military shooter these days is that war is glorified. Killing thousands of enemy soldiers is simply another level in the game. "Oh, don't be upset, it's only a video game" is heard far too often. So much in fact that Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer of Medal of Honor: Warfighter, was quoted in an interview with GameSpot that these are entertainment products. That while they are trying to capture what it's truly like to be a soldier in war, at the end of the day they are video games meant to be enjoyed.
Which brings up a very strange scenario. On one hand you have what is easily one of the most horrific acts that man can achieve being portrayed as an "entertainment product". On the other hand you have war as a reality, which when emulated outside of the battlefield itself should never, under any circumstances elicit feelings of euphoria.
The question then becomes, "As a video game developer set out to create a military shooter, do we aim for fun entertainment or real life emotions?"
I never thought I would be writing that Black Ops seems to understand this line exists. The only difference between it and the rest of the competition is that there's no clear side it's standing on. Instead, Treyarch has somehow managed to give us the best of both worlds.
There are moments in Black Ops 2 that are absolutely exhilarating. Flying through the air with a squirrel suit, soaring through the war torn streets in a jet, and climbing rocks with a set of futuristic sticky gloves are all examples of this. Then there's the moments where you're in war. Where as a soldier you are given commands and expected to follow them. Where the only thing between you and your objective is an entire army of human beings, all waiting to be slaughtered by the twitch of your trigger finger.
Where even the ones you love aren't safe. Not from your enemy, and certainly not from you.
To me, Black Ops 2 is a story more about family than capitalism. About the importance of the ones you love and how you will stop at nothing to keep them safe. A story that is written with so much emotion it's nearly impossible to not understand both sides of it. Black Ops 2 is one of the most difficult games to play because of this. Nearly every scene is soaked in guilt, leaving you wishing you could just stop pulling that damn trigger.
But dammit you're a soldier, and soldiers do their jobs without question. Or at least we all hope it's that simple.
I still believe that the Call of Duty franchise is oversaturated. Especially in the multiplayer side of things. Black Ops 2 however is a giant step out of the quicksand of mediocrity. The campaign, while it may seem very straight-forward, is actually full of choice. These choices dictate how the game plays out, and is done well enough to honestly rank up there among the best of the year.
In between campaigns you have the option to play 'Strike Force' missions as well. These could (and possibly should) be a game on their own. Rather than controlling one soldier amidst an army, you can jump in and out of Tactical View, setting commands and transporting into different entities. If you have played Driver: San Francisco, it's exactly like that. Only done well. These Strike Force missions also dictate how the game plays out. They are completely optional of course, but if you want to see the full ending I highly recommend you take the time to complete them.
Oh, and yes, you read that correctly - there are multiple endings to Black Ops 2.
If this is the direction they are headed then we are about to see some incredibly well-written, hard to play games. The emotional roller coaster that Treyarch has created is beyond what we have seen in any previous Call of Duty games. For the first time since I can remember, a Call of Duty game is worth owning for the single player alone.
A copy of Black Ops was given to me by Activision. It was delivered Tuesday, November 13th. This review is based off a complete single player playthrough.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Jul 8, 2013.
It's a good thing I know you and like you.
Cool. Most people either know me OR like me.
I wonder why is that...
According to Vincent Goodwill Knight and Cheeks spent all of game 1 in the Summer L talking in the stands.
A 21 year old can't legally drink for sufficiently low values of 21.
This stuff should not be ignored. I think that Coach Mo will do BK some good.
Let's hope so. Experience and knowledge of the position only go so far, and won't mean nearly enough if Mo can't put him in positions to maximize his talents. And if Knight doesn't actually have the wherewithal to play the position at a starter level.
Well Jos is betting BIG on this kid.....I hope it pans out better than the Stickey fiasco.
I don't mind betting big on the kids, but you have to know when to walk away.... and when he reupped Stuckey at 8million a year he had gone to far...
In what way is joe betting "BIG" on Brandon Knight? The dude's on a rookie contract splitting PG responsibilities with everyone but Mike Abdenour. If he stinks up the joint this year, Joe can sign someone else. I don't see ANY similarities between Knight & Stuckey's situations unless Joe decides to trade Monroe to the Clippers for Lamar Odom in order to pave the way for Brandon Knight to become the Pistons' starting Power Forward.
He passed on Burke, CJ, MCW, Jjack and didn't attempt to trade for Vasquez. He's betting that this kid can get it done.
He also hired Cheeks.
Joe took what he thought was the BPA over Burke, CJ & MCW. - NOBODY knows if he was right as of yet. You can get a 'Jack' or a 'Vasquez' pretty darn easily in today's NBA. "Average" PGs aren't as hard to find as they used to be. *for the record, Greivis Vasquez was a dude that I was hoping Joe would get. ...Jeff Teague is another guy but he's a restricted FA and ATL would likely match any "intelligent" offer.
Separate names with a comma.

Algerian fixed line incumbent Algerie Telecom (AT) has introduced fixed-wireless Long Term Evolution (LTE) services to business subscribers, ahead of a planned consumer launch in the second half of 2014. According to a company press release, AT has deployed 200 eNodeB sites across the countrys 48 wilayas (provinces), with plans to install 2,000 LTE-enabled base transceiver stations (BTS) by end-2015. From 1 May 2014 business users can subscribe to one of two LTE plans, both of which include a CPE LTE-compatible router and SIM card: the introductory offer, including a 5GB data allowance, is priced at DZD3,500 (USD44.54), while the premium plan, which includes 10GB of data, costs DZD6,500.
As previously reported by TeleGeographys CommsUpdate, in June 2013 AT Group CEO Azouaou Mehmel said that business customers would be the initial target group of the companys commercial LTE network because of the high costs involved. Mr Mehmel added that the tender for the acquisition of LTE equipment was worth an estimated EUR40 million (USD53.42 million).

WardsAuto writers pass along the buzz at this week's L.A. Auto Show.
'52 Beetle convertible (in background) good as new.
Volkswagen's attempt to remind media of the heritage of the Beetle convertible is slightly hampered by a near-miss major fender bender.
While assembling a display that includes a vintage '52 Beetle convertible along with the newest model, the older Bug is nearly smashed by some scaffolding. The lightly damaged car is rushed to a specialty shop for surgery, then returns to the hotel without a scratch.
Holistic Honda
Honda America President John Mendel corrects a reporter who asks about the American response to the Asian auto maker making great strides in the U.S.
"When you say American auto industry, people don't any longer put quotes around it," Mendel says. "Ninety-five percent of what we sell here in 2016 will be made in North America. Last year, it was 90%.
"North America is taking more and more of a lead for Honda globally. It's vastly different than the perception that a lot of people have."
Gimme Shelter
Audi's rooftop auto show party was nearly rained out due to inclement weather in Southern California, forcing the swanky West Hollywood hotel to move the shindig into hastily pitched, unfashionable plastic tents before guests arrived.
A small group of journalists joked they might have fit in with the frumpiness of it all, anyway. "We're clearly the writers," one said, pointing toward a group of dapper Audi employees.
Blonde Ambition
Don't expect to see Madonna in a Fiat commercial anytime soon. There's a loose connection between the global superstar and the Italian brand: She was bred in Detroit, and Fiat owns Chrysler and its "Imported From Detroit" campaign.
But although the pop diva is signed to Interscope Records, with whom Fiat has a relationship, the brand's global chief nixes the suggestion of linking the two. "Fiat is not a Detroit brand," Olivier Francois says.
Bentley Stalls as Bubbly Runs Out
Bentley is the last presentation of the day for weary media, but stays true to its auto show tradition of serving champagne after its product reveal. Or at least that was the plan.
Journos were disappointed to learn the upstairs British Bentley had run out of champagne and instead was serving decidedly downstairs Heineken or Corona beer. Which begs the question: Who drank the champagne?
Infiniti to Unveil New Sedan, But Not Today
Which city hosts the most important auto show in America? Tough question, but competition between Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago and New York for the mantle has been well-documented over the years.
So Infiniti's news at this week's L.A. auto show must have greeted some Californians like a kick in the teeth. Nissan's luxury brand opted not to hold a press conference this year, but instead has issued a statement with a Los Angeles dateline encouraging journalists to attend its press conference in six weeks – at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The Jan. 14 event will see the unveiling of an all-new luxury sport sedan, and Infiniti's new president, Johan de Nysschen, will discuss the brand's strategic expansion worldwide. And the avant-garde Cirque du Soleil will perform as well.
Chrysler marketing chief Olivier Francois gives Fiat attendees a laugh when describing his "sexy" electric compact coming to market next year. "It's a car that arouses without the need of a blue pill," he says. Taking it a step further, he quips, "Who doesn't want performance and stamina?"
