Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014 Text review
It seems that life in the movies would not be complete without yet another reboot from an iconic franchise, and with 2014 marking the Ninja Turtles' 30th anniversary, I suppose it would make sense to give it another lease of life considering how luke-warm the 2007 offering despite how the decent writing and good casting it had.
Under the helm of producer Michael Bay (warning flags are up already) and director Jonathan Liebesman it sets to give a slightly more grounded and realistic approach to the shellsome foursome.
The story is much quicker paced compared to it's 1990 counterpart as that was very slow to get going whereas this movie doesn't seem to know the concept of slow pacing, which in itself is a good thing as that keeps the audience's attention and to keep the suspense going. Although I will say, I did find it very lazy and weak to copy the Amazing Spiderman scene of releasing a toxin into the atmosphere from a New York skyscraper. Fans of the original Turtles animated series from the 1980's will say that Spiderman was merely copying them, but then I would counteract that point with "how many kids, TODAY, would know about that? 86 Turtles is foreign to them and 2012's Amazing Spiderman is still fresh to them?" take that as you will.
I was pleasantly surprised that April already has an established backstory with the turtles and splinter as they were her pets as her father and Sacks experimented on them with the Mutogen, which this time around is being used to see the effects it can have in healing humans and wiping out disease.
The mutogen is an alien ooze that mutated the Turtles to their humanoid forms. And if that's the only thing that is of alien origin and nothing else, then I don't see any problem with that as opposed to the rather absurd notion before of the Turtles actually being space from themselves.
Cast performance
Other than April O'Neil, Eric Sacks, Vern Fenwick & Raphael, none of the other cast got any notable screen time nor character development. Alan Ritchson was very subtle with his performance as Raphael. No BS, just got on with it. I did like this incarnation of Raph was more venomous and angst than previous versions we've seen over the years. He plays the role of an impromptu leader extremely well when he learns of what happened to his Brothers.
Donatello I felt really suffered as a character I didn't find it necessary nor appropriate to have him laid with so much hi-tech equipment on him from a holograph watch, infra-red googles, solar panels and over-sized spectacles. If the writers really wanted to go the extra length why not also have him wearing a t-shirt saying "I AM A NERD, IS THAT ANY CLEARER?"
Sometimes subtle is better than over exaggeration.
Even Shredder was downplayed to such a point that more of the focus of the antagonists was focused on Eric Sacks as Shredder had probably even less screen time than most of his adversaries.
Speaking of shredder, I think someone needed to have a talk with the art department about subtleties as well because while I will concede that Shredder's look needed an overhaul from the 1990's flicks, at the same time they just way OTT with the design as I saw elements of Darf Vader, Skeletor and Megatron. Put those together and you get Darf-Skele-Tron.
Fox didn't do too bad as April O'Neil. I personally think she was still the wrong choice and someone like Kat Denings would have been more suited, but what would I know? I just do good ideas.
I like Arnett's comic relief style as Vern Fenwick, where he just tells some good jokes to lighten the mood.
Whoopi Goldberg was just wasted on this movie. She was in this for no more than a coffee break and then we don't see her again. That said, if she had been removed from this picture altogether, it wouldn't have hurt the movie at all. That's not a knock on the Ghost star, that's just plain fact. She didn't have any real notable to time get settled as Thompson of Channel 6 news and you just don't care about her character.
Easter Eggs
The references are very subtle but not forcefully shoved into your face to where it would be insufferable.
Shredder says "Tonight I will dine on Turtle soup" giving a nod to the line that the late James Avery uttered in the original cartoon series.
Another Easter egg to the 80's series is Will Arnett saying the line "heroes in a half shell" which as fans of the original series will know that is part of the verse of the opening theme.
As someone who grew up with the original movies and cartoons I found this to be a refreshing experience in being able to brief life into an existing franchise which quite honestly needed an update as there's only so many times they could have repeated previous formulas for this story without giving it a major overhaul, which for the most part this flick does well. The only real major problems in production I had was the camera at times left you wondering what was going on as it got real shaky in places and it effected the viewing experience. Also, they needed to tone the lens flare use as well. It wasn't necessary.
I enjoyed it as it was better than I expected. Not perfect, but not awful.

March 9 – Happy Birthday Aaron Boone
When I think about Boone two things immediately come to mind. The first of course is the home half of the 11th inning of the seventh and final game of the 2003 ALCS, Red Sox versus Yankees in the Bronx. Score is tied, 5-5 with Boston knuckleballer Tim Wakefield on the mound as Aaron Boone steps into the batters' box to lead off the inning for New York. His brother Brett is doing the game for Fox in the booth. I absolutely knew that Boone was going to hit a home run off of Wakefield and when he did, against the hated Red Sox and I got to see it on my television set, it just does not get any better than that for die hard Yankee fans like me.
The next thing that comes to mind when I think about Boone is the famous line from the movie, The Godfather II, "This is the business we chose." Boone's whole life, his whole heritage had been baseball. His grandfather, father and brother were all Major Leaguers. He had just hit one of the most famous home runs in the history of the most famous sports franchise on earth. He was the starting third baseman for the AL Champion Yankees. He was at the peak of his playing career when he made the decision to play some pick-up basketball during the off-season and ripped apart his knee. In what seemed like a blink of an eye, the Yankee front office went out and got A-Rod and dropped Boone like a lead weight.
Talk about going from the thrill of victory to the agony of defeat in record time, Boone's odyssey was unbelievable. But the guy took it with grace and professionalism every step of the way. I will always be a fan of Aaron Boone. Always!

Save Me Trust seeks permission to intervene in Judicial Review of decision to suspend culling in Derbyshire
On 21st February 2020 the Save Me Trust, represented by Mr Simon Farrell QC, applied to the High Court to intervene in the ongoing Judicial Review challenge to the Government's decision to suspend badger culling in Derbyshire. The case follows a claim by the National Farmers Union against the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and Natural England after the Government put the brakes on plans to issue licenses to cull badgers in the county. Derbyshire has one of the most active vaccination programmes in England, while badger culling has not been authorised in the county since 2005. Had the planned cull gone ahead it would have significantly undermined the well-established vaccination programmes operating in the area. Save Me Trust therefore support the Government's decision to suspend the cull. We have filed expert scientific evidence from Professor Rosie Woodroffe with the Court and have asked for the opportunity to put forward submissions that will emphasise the need to move away from culling towards non-lethal methods of controlling bovine TB. The case will be heard on 1st April 2020.
Trophy Hunting is never acceptable. "It goes without saying that the import of animal body parts as trophies should be banned outright by the British Government. I'm really shocked that they haven't already done it, in truth, the whole world should do it." Dr. Brian May, Founder of Save Me Trust.
Rocking for Wildlife again. We are celebrating 10 years of Save Me and we will be holding another 'Wildlife Rocks' to highlight the issues that face our planet and wildlife. If you are interested in joining us for fun and entertainment please email email@example.com
Amazing Grace, a collaboration between the Save Me Trust, Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue and the British Hedgehog Preservation Society, is fighting the declining population of hedgehogs in the UK, and, as of 1st April 2019, 10p from every bag of Spike's food sold will be donated to the campaign. Through the partnership, each donation will support Amazing Grace spread the message and help educate the public about the decline in population of hedgehogs in the UK, which has dropped from 30 million in the 1950s, to fewer than one million today.
Woodlands have a direct impact on the environment, climate, and local ecosystem. British woodlands are incredibly diverse in both flora and fauna and are great for wildlife.
Our woodland's estate has been developing for around 30 years - in that time, we have purchased or been bequeathed a number of sites that we manage and maintain for their unique biodiversity value and benefits to wildlife. Woodlands are not static - they are dynamic - living entities - that grow and develop uniquely, based the habitat and species that grow or live there.
Perhaps some of us have got used to the idea of the badger cull ? Just politics, and perhaps something that's necessary to solve a farming problem ?
The news that a massive further slaughter of our native badgers is now sanctioned by the Government comes at the moment when we finally have in our hands the definitive proof that bovine TB will only be conquered by action within the herds to cut off the routes of reinfection. History will show that the deaths of tens of thousands of badgers gave farmers
Anne Brummer, trustee and founder of Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue and CEO of Dr Brian May's Save Me Trust receives a national award for Services to Wildlife.
Congratulations to our CEO, Anne Brummer who has won the prestigious Animal Hero Award 2018 for services to wildlife.
Well, at a stroke, Michael Gove has made puppy farms history. In his speech yesterday he gave credit to the forceful campaign led by Marc Abrahams of Pup Aid, and the massive wave of support in the public for this new law - Lucy's Law. Under the new legislation,
Butterflies and humans are having a great time in this hot weather but it's not the same for all wildlife.
Water is essential for all of us.
Brian May and his Save Me Trust team will be at no 10 today at 10.30 am handing in a petition to ask for a total ban on the fur trade in the UK
The awards recognise achievements in helping people, animals, and the environment. Thirteen schools and groups had been selected from over 2000 participants to attend the awards ceremony.
So, as a farmer, why would you bother reading this? How could the views of a rock star on Bovine TB be worth squat? Especially a rock star who has been widely accused of caring more about the welfare of wild animals than the welfare of farmers?
Save Me Trust Announcement Thursday 8th February 2018 Save Me has been working to end third party puppy sales in Britain since 2015. We have been working with the wonderful Marc Abraham and Pup Aid, better known as TV's Marc the Vet to ensure that the government also includes a number of other measures that will stop the suffering of dogs in Britain today.
After many lengthy meetings with Micheal Gove we are delighted to see him launch a 'call for evidence' on banning Third party puppy sales. A ban on third party puppy sales is to be explored by the government as part of a package of
The Estate owners and shooting associations are quick to make huge claims of how the work they do benefits the moorland and the environment. What they don't mention is that they are paid huge subsidies by the Government (that's our money) to maintain bio-diverse habitats and ecosystems, rich in flora and fauna, but this is not what they are doing.
The continuation of the Badger cull policy raises concern not only in its operation but also in it projected outcomes. It is clear that
We can confirm that the Save Me Trust is collaborating on a project on a Devonshire dairy farm, run by a dedicated vet, that many people now think could eventually bring about the end of the badger cull.
Research at a secret location in Devon may help eradicate bovine tuberculosis without a single badger being killed, says leading vet
The killing has begun again, ramped up to kill thousands more Badgers this year. I'm sure I'm not alone in finding these pictures very painful. It's pitiful to see these magnificent families of creatures being destroyed. I've been involved
We are concerned and deeply disappointed that the Government has issued 11 new Badger Cull licences to add to the 10 already existing. We have always opposed badger culling because of the cruelty and inhumaneness of free shooting badgers in open fields at night, as confirmed by the government's own Independent Expert Panel.
Message from Dr Brian May For the badgers - and actually for us as a nation - this cull is a tragedy and a disaster.What's less understood is that it's a tragedy for the farmers and the cattle too. The drive behind continuing with a policy which is failing seems to be that 'we have to be seem to do something, rather than

Dr. Brian Mays Save Me Trust strongly opposes the government's proposals to amend the Hunting Act 2004 using a draft Order. The government proposes to use a statutory instrument to change the exemptions under the Act, in order to use an unlimited number of dogs in exempt cases. At present, the exemptions only apply where a maximum of
Over 84% of the British population remain opposed to fox hunting. There is no doubt that Fox hunting is a toxic issue for the Conservative party. David Cameron tried and failed, as recently as 2015, to put through an SI (Statutory Instrument) that would have effectively castrated the Hunting Act. According to the mainstream press, the reason Cameron failed was
The government responded to this petition when it received 10,000 signatures. Unfortunately, the government's response was so inaccurate and selective that it appears to represent a deliberate attempt to mislead the public. There are four key inaccuracies in the government response:
A Farmer speaks out; Bovine TB is a cattle problem with the main transmission between cattle. An open letter to George Eustace Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Farming, Food and the Marine Environment from Graham Cooper
The most extreme version of trophy hunting is "Canned Hunting". The animals which are born in captivity are taken away from their mothers within hours of being born so they can be used in petting zoos. When they become of age they then spend the rest of their life in caged compounds waiting to be released in a larger compound for the so-called 'canned' hunt.
The international fur trade is worth at least £10 billion per year - but at what cost? Over 40 million animals are killed for their fur every year - 85% of them are bred and killed on fur farms and the rest are trapped in the wild - solely for their fur. Worse, this figure does not include the millions of rabbits killed each year for the fur trade. Shockingly, there are
In the North of England and Scotland, the shooting of game birds and mammals is widespread. Habitat and 'predator management' are undertaken to increase game abundance and hunting bags and thus profits. The Grouse moor managers and Gamekeepers claim major conservation benefits as a result of traditional and 'sympathetic' moorland management. They say if the control of generalist predators by gamekeepers ceased, lapwing and golden plover numbers would drop by 81% and curlew by 47% within 10 years.
So what is really happening?
This Boxing Day, hunts will gather to parade in villages across England and Wales for the traditional Boxing Day meet. But this year there will be a new atmosphere - a wind of change.

You can now relive that extraordinary day of our rally against the SI. The SI was an amendment posing as a 'technical detail', which would have smashed the Hunting Act's power to protect.

The Spectator has today published an article [Revealed: David Cameron's plan to bring back fox hunting] admitting that the Government, recognising they cannot win the "Free Vote on Hunting" that David Cameron promised, has given up on it, and is about to try to bring back legalised Fox Hunting through the back door.
Team Fox is a coalition of animals groups united to keep the hunting ban in place. Fox hunting is not a 'tradition' that needs to be protected The humane sport of drag hunting, in which the hunt follows an artificial trail, has all the tradition without any of the cruelty. Nevertheless, traditions are measured in more than years. They have to reflect the values and attitudes of a society and the vast majority of the
Early in the morning a Hunt of mounted riders quietly surrounds a thicket they know to contain a family of foxes. The female fox or vixen hears the movement but will not leave her cover as she has cubs to protect. The huntsmen surround the thicket, they slap their saddles, holler and shout to prevent the fox and her cubs leaving the thicket. They want to have their fun.
So what do we get up to in our lobbying adventures? And what is it like, now that we have a new Government – a government which made a lot of us wonder if there was any hope whatsoever for animals in the UK (and a few other important things like Human Rights and the NHS !)?
Today Brian May and Anne Brummer are journeying to Wentworth Castle, near Barnsley, South Yorkshire, to a reception hosted by Angela Smith, Labour Party MP for Penistone and Stockbridge.

Queen guitarist and animal welfare champion Brian May has joined with the heads of every major animal welfare group in London to launch the Team Badger campaign, which is opposed to the government's proposed cull of badgers across England.
Hi Folks Brian here, after a little bit of a gap. Yes, Brian Talks has been a little bit quiet and I think there was probably a good reason to be a little bit quiet around the election time. Some of us were very disappointed with the result, but this is what we're stuck with and we have to make the best of it.
We visited Camp Badger for the second time in two years. Last year we were invited by the farmer who loans his land to the "stop the cull" campaigner, Jay Tierman, and an array of wounded badger patrol night walkers. The peaceful camp is much the same as last year with lots of tents, compost toilets and a very organised food kitchen. All the food is donated by local farmers.
Can you outwit the clever fox? Foxes don't always make the best of neighbours but before you write them off as the neighbours from hell, take a few minutes to understand them and maybe find some ways to humanely, and permanently, discouraging them from visiting your space.
Save Me is totally opposed to "dogs killing wild mammals" for human pleasure. We do encourage the humane sports of drag hunting and lure coursing to retain all its traditions without the need for cruelty
Our intelligence can often be measured by our reactions. Knee jerk reactions are not good reactions.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE for the continuation of fox hunting. The only argument for it that you can believe is sincere, from its supporters, is that they enjoy it.

Unless every single badger is killed, the survivors move around, resulting in an increase in bovine TB. But will politicians listen? "The government is so desperate to be seen to be doing something to appease the countryside lobby that it is willing to ride over facts.'

Installion on Eee PC
I found the above site this past weekend and it looks like it should work. However, the program I'm using to write the image to the stick is... well, not great, and I don't think it's working (at least, my BIOS is set to boot the removeable media first, and it doesn't boot).
I'd love to hear what someone on here would do in my situation, or what the OP ended up doing to figure out what the bad BIOS juju was (I wouldn't be shocked if it was as simple as that).
Installion on Eee PC
I should have mentioned, currently the netbook has XP on it. I think the more frustrating part of projects like this is that a lot of the time the FAQs assume you already have an OBSD install elsewhere.
I have an Asus EEE netbook, and I did my initial installation from the network, I think. It's been a year since then, so I'm a little fuzzy if I did it from network or stick. Network would have been faster/easier for me, using pxeboot(8), as I have a network of machines and underlying dhcp and tftp services already operational. I also have booted USB sticks on this netbook. But for me, its easy enough to create a bootable stick, I just use another OpenBSD system.
I'm sure I also booted a USB stick with puppy linux on it in order to reduce the WXP partition size, prior to installing. I keep WXP around for firmware loads, rare uses of Skype, and rare re-provisioning of a universal entertainment remote control.
Do you have another platform that has a dhcp and tftp server handy? It need not be OpenBSD. If you do, PXE booting would be the way to go. If not, installing into a virtual machine to create a bootable stick would be acceptable. Qemu can do this, and it's available for WXP.
ooh, that's true, rocket. Though it does require some a priori knowledge of OpenBSD system administration.
In brief the steps for i386 would be:
Hi dalek,
I've been using OpenBSD for a while now, I just found this forum, so here goes my initial post.
I agree that rocket357 has a really good idea, but I think jggimi's instructions are a bit too complicated. Of course mine might be even worse... This is basically the same as jggimi, except I would let the OpenBSD installer take care of his steps 3 thru 11.
(I'm assuming you don't want to dual boot with XP, I used to do that and find it to be more of a headache than it's worth, and I'd rather not waste the drive space.)
I would do this:
1. Download install48.iso from an OpenBSD mirror such as ftp.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.8/i386/install48.iso
2. Burn install48.iso to a CD
3a. Install to the eeepc with an external USB CD drive using the install48 CD if you can, or
3b. Install to a USB flash drive (2GB+) by using any i386 box using the install48 CD
- plug in the USB flash drive
- insert install48 CD into drive
- start system, boot from the CD
- go through the standard install procedure, be careful to install OpenBSD on the flash drive, Mom won't be happy if you wipe out her XP c:\ drive with all the kids' pictures on it...
4. Prepare the USB flash drive with the OpenBSD install sets. (You could skip this part if you just want to download all the install sets again using the ftp option during install.)
- boot the OpenBSD flash drive on Mom's computer again
- login
- mount the install48 CD with something like: # mount /dev/cd0a /mnt
- copy the install sets to the USB drive: # cp -Rp /mnt/4.8 /
- now you have the install sets in the root of the USB flash drive.
(If you know your way around the command line, you could copy the install sets from CD at the the end of step 3b instead of booting the USB a second time.)
5. Use the USB flash drive with OpenBSD to install to the eeepc
- boot the eeepc off your OpenBSD flash drive
- at the "boot>" prompt type: "boot bsd.rd", this will start the installation procedure.
- do a standard install, when it asks for install media type "disk"
- when it asks if the disk is already mounted say yes
- the install sets are already in 4.8/i386/ so you can just take the default when it asks.
Hope that helps.
When it comes to installing on a machine without a CD drive, & no other machine is available with OpenBSD already installed, you have one of the simpler solutions:
Plug in a USB CD drive & install from it.Good call!
This assumes that another machine is available which can be used to burn the ISO to disc. Burning is OS agnostic.
Otherwise, another machine will have to be booted in some manner with OpenBSD, (booting another machine with the ISO mentioned before...) -- be it the installation kernel bsd.rd used by install48.iso or the regular kernel bsd which is used by any running system. jggimi's live CD is another option.
Once a system has been booted with any OpenBSD kernel, manually build a bootable USB drive, either with only the bsd.rd kernel, or with bsd.rd + all file sets.
Here's my routine for installing to a machine with no CD drive (very much the same as barry's, but with a few tweaks at the end):
1) download and burn install48.iso or cd48.iso.
2) On a machine with a CD drive, insert the burned install disk.
3) Check that the BIOS is set to boot from CD first.
4) Plug in the usb key and boot the CD.
5) Perform a normal install to the usb key (make SURE you don't install to the wrong disk! Make one slice and don't worry about swap...this is for installing, not for running OpenOffice/Firefox/etc...)
6) Boot bsd.rd on the cd-less machine using the newly installed usb key.
7) Perform a normal install to the cd-less machine's hard drive.
If you're particularly lazy (as I am), you can download the tgz's, bsd*, and INSTALL.<arch> files and put them in /4.8/<arch>/ on the USB key so you can install from there. You can also create a site48.tgz file that contains all of your customizations that will get installed last.
And you can fix the usb key's /etc/fstab to use the drive id (checksum, really) instead of device name:
(Posted to misc by Paul de Weerd)
[ -f /dev/diskmap ] || ( cd /dev; sudo MAKEDEV diskmap ) echo wq | disklabel -E YOURDISK UID=`disklabel YOURDISK | grep -E '^[d]?uid:' | cut -f2 -d' '` { echo ",s#/dev/YOURDISK#${UID}.#"; echo w; } | ed - /etc/fstab
And you can create dhcp-enabling hostname files for all ethernet drivers in /etc on the usb key (only the attached devices have their hostname files read).
Standard disclaimers apply (backup your data, don't blame me, etc...)
Edit - If you have a usb-attached CD drive, use that method. It's far easier (though once you have a usb-key with a no-kidding OpenBSD install on it, you can use it over and over again and even upgrade it to newer versions...etc...)
Last edited by rocket357; 10th December 2010 at 05:03 PM. Reason: change to disklabel broke Paul de Weerd's code...fixed now.
Appreciate the welcome ocicat, hope I can be of help, I know I can use some. Using a USB CD drive just kind of slipped out, I've had trouble with them in the past, especially on older computers.
Thanks rocket, I completely forgot about my problems booting flash drives. If I don't use the same box, I often have to go in and edit the fstab, and reboot. I really need to start using the new UID drive signatures.
P.S. OpenBSD flash drives are very useful. At work I have our Certificate Authority on a flash drive in the filing cabinet and just boot it a couple times a year when I need to mess with certificates.
I used a similar approach like rocket's. But i do agree, if you could lay your hands on a usb cd device, use it. That is so much easier.
So what model do you have? I have 1000H, and it 4.8 works like a charm. Started out with 4.4 on this machine.
Mine is a 1005HA with a 3-cell battery instead of the standard 6-cell, and without bluetooth. I love it. Its a variant called the model 1005HAB and was sold last year by a US-based retail chain. It was a gift from my wife, who chose it based on price. But I like this particular brand of hardware, and was very grateful for the netbook.
I actually love having the smaller battery in this -- it doesn't have more than a couple of hours of battery life, but .... it is very very light weight.

For jurors
General information
Terms of jury service
A person is eligible for jury service once every two to four years. The courts in each county set the term of service for each county, not to exceed 31 consecutive days. No person can be required to serve/attend court as a juror more than five days unless selected to a trial that may require more days. For details on the jury system and terms of service in your county follow the links on the county circuit court contacts page.
How was my name selected?
A person selected for jury service must be chosen at random from a source list using the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's list of people with motor vehicle licenses or identification cards who live in the area served by that circuit court. Some counties may use additional source lists. For county specific information on source lists follow the links on the county circuit court contacts page.
How are jurors selected?
The rules for jury trials come from the law, tradition, and experience. In summary, the steps are as follows:
- Jurors are sworn to answer truthfully all questions about their qualifications for the case.
- The judge and attorneys ask questions of the prospective jurors (voir dire).
- The judge excuses a limited number of jurors which each lawyer has a right to ask be excused without giving a reason (peremptory challenges), and may also excuse additional jurors who may not be impartial in the cases (challenges for cause).
- The final jury panel is then selected and sworn to fairly and impartially decide the case.
Payment policies
Every juror summoned is paid an amount set by the county board (not less than $16 per day) for each day of attendance and reimbursed for travel. In some counties jurors may be paid by the half-day. Please check with your specific county as to what payment is in that jurisdiction by following the links on the county circuit court contacts page.
Postponement requests and excusals
The court understands that there are many situations that may require a postponement of your jury service. Follow the links on the county circuit court contacts page for information on postponement policies in the county where you were summoned. Note: Some requests for postponements must be received prior to receiving a summons. Please inform the court of a potential conflict as soon as you receive information regarding jury service.
The court may excuse a person from jury service if the court determines the person cannot fulfill the responsibilities of a juror. Or if the court determines jury service would entail undue hardship, extreme inconvenience, or serious obstruction or delay of justice, the court may defer service to a later date set by the court or excuse the juror. The court may require a person to document the basis for any excuse or deferral.
Failure to appear
Any person who fails to attend jury service may be summoned by the court to explain why he or she failed to appear and may have a fine imposed. Some counties have local court rules and policies regarding failure to appear. For details on the jury system and failure to appear policies in your county follow the links on the county circuit court contacts page.
Special assistance
It is the policy of the Wisconsin Court System that its programs, services and activities be accessible to qualified individuals with disabilities. No person will be refused participation solely because the person has a disability, needs an accommodation or because a building is inaccessible. If you have a disability that will require an accommodation by the court to allow you to serve as a juror, please notify the Clerk of Circuit Court for your county. Identify your Clerk's office on the county circuit court contacts page.

Canon reports slightly higher profits in Q1, teases new compact cameras on the way
Source: http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/28/canon-q1-2012-earnings/
Canon reported its Q1 2012 earnings this week, and things certainly appear to have gone better than the last time we checked in when it replaced the company president. While revenue declined slightly, net profit reached 61.54 billion yen ($766 million), up 11 percent from a year ago. There's no executive moves to report, however on the earnings call executive VP and CFO Toshizo Tanaka noted a unit sales increase of 30 percent for SLR cameras including the new EOS 5D Mark III as well as the cheaper T3i, Mark II and 60D models, combined with strong sales for WiFi-connected point-and-shoots. As far as new products, while its new cinema cameras got a glancing mention the plan this year includes compact cameras "offering the image qualities that approaches SLR cameras", with improved design and network connectivity features. All the numbers and earnings call talk are in black and white at the links below, although we prefer to spend our time speculating about the future of mirrorless cameras.

- Better Racing Without Spending - 10 Ways To Get Better At Racing Without Spending A Dime
Better Racing Without Spending - 10 Ways To Get Better At Racing Without Spending A Dime
Are You Ready To Get Serious?
You've seen the guy around the track ever since you've been going there. He doesn't work on any one team, but kind of moves around and talks to nearly everyone-except that goof in the green car that nobody likes. Whenever he visits with someone, they always seem glad to see him. He's stopped by your car between races now and then just to ask, "How ya doing?" He's a friendly sort, but now, late one night when you're alone in the garage fixing last week's damage, here he comes walking up your driveway.
"Hey, man, how's it going?" he asks with a genuine smile.
"It's cool," you reply, wondering where this is going.
"How much car did they leave you?" he asks, looking not at the car but around your garage.
"Not too bad. A bent A-arm and a lot of stuff that needs to be put back into alignment so it'll be ready for this weekend. What, uh, brings you out here tonight?" you ask, not knowing any other way to say it.
He smiles again, looks you right in the eyes, and says, "You know, I've been watching you for two seasons, and you've got talent. You know how to get a lot out of a car without beating it into the ground or eating the fence. But while you're turning left real good, I can see your money turning right into the wall week after week. You up for a little gut-check talk about what to do about it?"
Whoa, you think, what's up with this? But he's already got your attention.
He can see you're interested and says, "Grab some paper and pen, and have a seat on that tire and take some notes, dude. I think I can make your racing life a little easier for you. And before you ask, there are no strings. I like what you do out there, and I'd like to see you get up to the next level. You game?"
"Yeah, man," you say as you head for the workbench and grab some paper and pen.
"OK," he says, "here are 10 ways to make your racing go better without spending a dime." And so he goes...
1 Learn how to tell the difference between wants and needs for your team. Ask yourself: Do you want this, or do you really need it? Sure, having a spiffy new pump jack or a stack of skyscraper toolboxes would be neat and maybe even make you look a little more pro, but not if you need a new clutch or fresh tires to run better. Learn which parts you truly need for better results, and put them high on your priority list. Keep in mind that this is where you have to be hard on yourself to make the right decisions. When you make a bad one, you pay the price-literally. And you go backward because you put your money in the wrong place.
This tip not only applies to parts for your car, but also tools and shop stuff, too. Learn the difference between needs and wants, and your money will go further and with better results. After a while of training yourself on the difference between the two, you'll end up doing it automatically. Wants and needs-learn the difference to get the results you are looking for. But remember that along with those, you need to constantly keep assessing your priorities-kind of like on the track when you're deciding which groove to use to pass someone. Which one is going to work better right now, at this minute? Here's an even better tip: Use a spiral-bound (at the top) pocket notebook to keep this list of hints for yourself. On the front of it mark a "W," (wants) then put a big "N" (needs) on the back. The notebook will help you set your priorities before you write them down.
2 Learn how to read engine-block ID numbers and head-casting symbols so you can see a good deal if you trip over one. All those numbers and letters mean something, so learn them. Learn which ones are the good numbers and which ones are the turkeys. It'll keep you from buying a boat anchor when what you really want is something that'll make you haul the mail. Look at every block you can so you cannot only get better at it, but maybe lucky, too. There was a guy, who ran a stock block at Indy one year that came out of a school bus, no kidding. "Don't walk by any vehicle without looking at those block numbers, you'll never know what motor is in there until you look. There's nothing saying that every car has its original motor, right?
The same holds true for heads and their casting symbols. If your division uses cast-iron heads, can you tell which ones have the biggest valves without taking them apart? You don't have to-it's all on the casting symbols. Find some reference books and make your own set of notes. Learn them and maybe even memorize them.
3 Network with people. You don't always have to know the guy with the motor for sale if you know one of his buddies. The more people who know you and know you're racing, the more chances you've got for finding things or information. How many times have you heard someone say, "I know a guy who can help us." The more people you know, the more access you have to all kinds of stuff. Not only can they get what you need but you can also help them. Network without any limitations. Do it at the track, at the parts store, in the neighborhood, and at work. Someone has what you need, but only if you can talk to them-directly or not-and find out. While you're at it, teach all the guys on the crew to do the same. Spread the word and reap the benefits.
4 Get to be friends with a junkyard. Don't go to a junkyard that is already involved with a racing team. As a matter of fact, go to one that is far away, so you're not competing for the same parts with the same guys you're racing against. Don't forget the value of scrap material such as steel, aluminum, lead, tubing, and so on. You use those on your car, trailer, and shop, don't you? Why buy that stuff retail? At the junkyard, you can also test your new talent by reading those block numbers and casting symbols. And while you're there, don't forget to look at the trucks, either. They're good sources for sturdy blocks, transmissions, rearends, and other parts.
If you can work out a sponsorship with the folks at the boneyard, cool, but at least give them some wall-sized (8x10 inches or larger) color photos of the car showing the junkyard's name on it, and chances are you might get a better deal the next time you visit. To round out the deal, give him all your own scrap material, and refer all your nonracing buddies to them. Again, you've given them another reason to help you.
5 Use a computer. If you don't know how, learn. You don't have to buy one just yet, but learn how to get around on one. There's most likely as many computers at Robert Yates Racing as there are people working there. You can surf the Net, but more importantly, you can network with other racing folks to expand your circle of contacts. Once you become good enough, use the computer to log your notes. Then when you get really good, create one-off proposals for sponsorships and perhaps your own press kits. Your public library may have one or more computers, which are usually free to use.
Want to take it to the next level? Take some classes and get a computer of your own. You can keep great records for your team, and toying with a computer on a regular basis gives you a better overview of your racing operation. Create the forms for your at-track notes with setup logs, inventory, results notes, and your tax and financial info. If you want, you can even write sponsorship proposals and press kits for other racers. Accept money, or trade, for helping them too.
6 Read Stock Car books and magazines until your head explodes, then read some more. This racing stuff is based on mathematical formulas that really hasn't changed much over the years. Even an old book or magazine article can jog an idea back to life, if not give you a fresh new one. If you're serious about racing, you should have about a half a million questions you'd like answered at any given time. Reading will help the thought process and might answer a few of them. Remember, it's a successful day if you learn something new-even if your car does get torn up.
7 Visit other tracks; study other types of cars and racing. If you run pavement, go look at a dirt track. If you're a dirt tracker, hit the pavement track and look around. Check out all the different ideas you haven't seen before. While you're at it, make sure you understand how those ideas actually work. Try talking to some of the people there (networking), and see if they'll answer your questions. You're no threat to them-you don't even race there. Look for anything you don't understand, and learn how it works. Then you can see if it applies to your car. The same goes for driving style, and even in the pits, where you may find some ideas for better pit equipment and procedures. Watch for timesaving methods and tools, too.
8 Learn how to weld. Learn gas, stick and wire welding. If you can make it yourself, you don't have to fork over the cash to buy it. Look at it this way: You can make a shock mount with a welder and some steel. Can you make a tire? If you learn how to weld, you cannot only make your own parts but also someone else's. Hit that new network of yours and find someone with a welder, buy them lunch, and have them give you the basics of welding. Buy a box of rods, sticks, or wire-and practice. The highest sought-after commodity in NASCAR shops is the dude or dudette who can fabricate. Once you get good enough, start thinking about getting your own machine or rig. Read on for several places to find them at a good price.
9 Go to garage sales, flea markets, swap meets, and auctions. Garage sales and flea markets have almost anything-most importantly, surprises such as parts and tools. Even if it's not what you need, it might be trading material for a great price. If you go to enough of these events, you'll probably find someone asleep on something good. It will pay off. Imagine a neighborhood artist who wants to sell the welder he uses to sculpt metal. Will it work on a race car? What do you think? Car and even truck swap meets and shows are also great places to find deals. At truck shows, the motor, tranny, and rear-end parts are just the same as oval-track swap meets. If nothing else, you can expand your contacts even more.At all these events, however you should know your prices to tell a good deal from a bad one. Visiting these sales should also teach you another talent you'll really need: negotiating. Learn how to negotiate at these events and once you know the correct values, you'll save even more. You don't want to pay a penny more than you have to. Make your money go further.
Auctions can help teach you the values of items as they are being sold. But keep in mind they are just the prices that are going for the day of that auction. It depends on the people there that day, but generally you can get an idea of a going price. IRS auctions are great places to get good deals on almost anything a business could have. This includes tools, cars, parts, and office equipment. Keep in mind that if it's a really good deal, you might want to grab it and sell it to someone else. All this will help you with the next one, too.
10 Trade stuff. Trade parts, trade tools, trade favors, and trade some of your networking contacts. Chances are your pit crew works for nothing, right? Trade them for their work with tools and whatever you've found at those flea markets and swap meets. Repair some street cars for money, or something you need, with friends and neighbors. Remember the guy who taught you to weld? Maybe he needs a brake job on the family beater. Now you can weld the tractor for the guy next door for a few bucks and a lot of good PR in the neighborhood. Trade stuff and favors with the guys you compete against. After all, some of them are at your level and already know the value of trading.
So now that your head is spinning with all these cool ideas, this guy is on his feet and ready to leave-just like that.
"Hey, man, I don't even know your name," you say.
"My name is Turner, but all my friends call me Lefty. See you at the races," He says, then smiles and waves good-bye.

BERLIN – Berlin held its last town council meeting of 2009 Monday night, covering several items including public works topics and new playground equipment.
Road Projects Underway
Harrison Ave. was scheduled for paving this week with a temporary layer of asphalt, which should last four or five years. Previous attempts to cover the road with gravel or crush and run did not last long, especially with the amount of traffic using the road to cut over to the western edge of town, according to town officials.
Vine and Graham Streets received a base paving layer on schedule right before Christmas. Workers will wait to apply the top coat of paving until the spring, to give those roads a chance to settle after the high amounts of rain this fall.
"That's exciting news," said Berlin Mayor Gee Williams.
A cut-out on Flower St. will be paved soon, said town administrator Tony Carson, after an inquiry from Councilman Dean Burrell.
The work had been waiting on better weather, with the town originally hoping to get the work done by last week, at the same time as Vine and Graham streets.
That project needs to be completed as soon as possible, said Councilman Elroy Brittingham, because school buses and other school traffic uses Flower St. heavily.
Brittingham also asked Berlin public works staff to take a look at Branch St., on the west side of Route 113, which has a lot of water pockets. The road appears to be deteriorating, Brittingham said.
New Trash Rules Passed
The town council passed a new garbage ordinance, mandating rules for town-supplied trashcans for all residences and commercial accounts. The new ordinance, modified after a first reading earlier this fall, allows residential property owners to pay $100 each for additional trashcans. The first trashcan is supplied free. Commercial trash customers are allowed two trash containers by right and are also allowed to pay a fee for additional cans. The ordinance also specified that the trash can belong to the town and should remain on the property.
New Park Equipment Coming
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources has awarded $10,000 in Program Open Space funds to the town of Berlin to purchase new and replacement playground equipment for Stephen Decatur Park.
The only other Maryland Program Open Space grants were given to counties, Williams pointed out.
"We were the only town in the state to be awarded," Williams said.

I want to use LB for this instead, so I made a simple shell script. Right now it lives in ~/Library/Application\ Support/LaunchBar/Actions/ and I am calling it `datey`
That is a goof place to start, does LB care about syntax, or is there some magic that goes on where it is just piping date from the command in and out. For example, I can do this:
echo `date` or the much more POSIX war echo $("date")
Here are the contents of `datey`
Code: Select all
/bin/echo $(/bin/date "+%D - %r")
It shows up in the index, but when I call it nothing happens. I have looked everywhere for log, and can't figure out where LB logs to, does anyone know, or know how to create a repeatable error so I can look for the log that lists that error?
I have the permissions coronet: -rwxr-xr-x 1 me staff 43 Aug 20 17:48 datey\
Running it from the command line works fine:
That leads me to a question. Commands that need rot privs, how do we deal with that in LB aside from making a mess of Applescript and adding the "with administrator privileges".
So now I am stumped, I want to know if this script is even running when LB asks it to. I add in a touch ~/Desktop/LB-ran-the-script.txt and added that as the last line of the script. Sure enough, when I ran the script from LB, a file called "LB-ran-the-script.txt" appeared on my desktop.
This tells me permissions are ok, the index is picking it up, the shell script is ok, and error free.
Is there a return code I need to enable, a preference?> Maybe I need to exit 1 or LB things the script is not finished?
Suggestions? Working shell script but i don't know how to tell the output to go where the cursor is.

I have to admit I am getting very excited about London Fashion Week now, especially after popping along to Swarovski's Champagne tea to announce which designers have been drafted into add Swarosvki sparkles to their collections.
Sadly, Nadja Swarovski had a few problems with the traffic and didn't make it on time, but it was still good to catch up with the very chilled J.W. Anderson who was wearing the most amazing trousers, spy Giles Deacon across the packed room, and to check out the jewellery dressing the amazing room at the Haymarket Hotel.
This season's sponsorship programme will include Craig Lawrence, J.W. Anderson, Erdem's Erdem Moralioglu, Mary Katrantzou who previously studded her printed skirts with crystals, Giles Deacon, and Marios Schwab who has added pearls to his dresses in previous collections.
One of the most exciting for me has to be Craig Lawrence, I met him in Paris and saw his work up close and it is amazing. I am looking forward to see how he incorporates Swarovski elements into his designs, which can include crystal yarn, Swarovski pearls and even elastic crystal netting. Also Giles is apparently working his Swarovski crystals onto leather and feathers, which has left me intrigued to see his collection.
As well as aiding LFW designers, the Swarovski Collective is also supporting six New York-based designers including my fav Rebecca Minkoff, Jason Wu and Rodarte, as well as two in Paris Thierry Mugler and Viktor & Rolf.[Illustration by Marcela Gutierrez for Swarovski]

... Seeking and Fostering GOODNESS itself
On this website you will know more about the founder of the medium-sized Putzmeister company and his new entrepreneurial role as a founder.
True to his motto ...
"Enjoy to SERVE, IMPROVE, CREATE VALUES"...
he left the management board of "his" company as scheduled which reached in this year a turnover of 1 Billion € - as is shown in the short-form flyer PM 261.
With great foresight he had already in 1998 brought 99% of the Putzmeister shares into his non-profit foundation Karl Schlecht Stiftung KSG. In early 2012 he transferred all these share to Sany Heavy Industry Co.

Heidi Watney joins MLB Network
Former NESN Red Sox reporter Heidi Watney has joined MLB Network as a studio host and reporter, the network announced Monday.
Watney worked for NESN from 2008 to 2011, and left last November for a position covering the Lakers for Time Warner Cable in Los Angeles. However, in September Watney left Time Warner without covering any Lakers games.
MLB Network said Watney will make her debut in January.
Im extremely excited to return to baseball by joining MLB Networks on-air talent lineup. Baseball is a true passion of mine and Im looking forward to covering all 30 MLB clubs 365 days a year, Watney said in a press release.
According to a report by the Globe's Chad Finn, Watney's departure from Time Warner was the result of Time Warner's frustration that news of her hiring became public before the Lakers were told, and the Lakers' desire to have input in personnel decisions. Time Warner began a broadcast rights agreement with the Lakers this season.

Fort Bragg, Nc — In late April, Fitness Anywhere Inc. (FAI) went to Fort Bragg, NC, for two days to teach more than 100 soldiers and unit fitness leaders from the 82nd Airborne Division how to use the TRX Suspension Trainer. Fort Bragg's Morale, Welfare and Recreation division had recently purchased more than 3,000 units of the suspension trainers.
Ken Taylor and Joe Martin from FAI conducted four three-hour orientations for the soldiers. They taught the attendees how to perform each of the 22 exercises from the TRX Military Fitness Program, a 12-week integrated program of functional strength and cardiovascular training designed to prepare soldiers for the physical demands of military service. The soldiers who attended the training will later train other unit members who are preparing to deploy.
The TRX Suspension Trainer employs the user's body weight to create hundreds of functional exercises. All that is required is an anchor point, such as a door, crossbar, jeep, tank or tree limb that is sturdy enough to support an individual's body weight. The product is lightweight and helps soldiers maintain peak physical condition while deployed in locations that have little or no fitness resources.
Former Navy SEAL squadron commander and CEO of Fitness Anywhere Randy Hetrick created the TRX System while on deployment in remote locations. Hetrick's first designs used parachute materials looped over a beam or tree to allow for basic movements, such as rows and presses. These early prototypes quickly proliferated as fellow SEALs took them on deployments and began discovering new strength exercises and functional movements.

Weekly auto rail, with a tip on getting your truck ready for warm weather, a look at a Rolls-Royce concept car and more.
Tip of the Week: Gearing up your truck for warm weather
Spring fever is setting in, and many of us are starting to plan our warm-weather road trips. Right now is a great time to get your truck and gear in tip-top shape before you hit the road. Whether going to the lake for a weekend of fishing or planning a camping excursion, you need to have a good plan. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when packing up your truck for your summer trips.
- Get organized and save space by compartmentalizing your gear into containers. You'll be able to find items within seconds of opening the tailgate and unpacking will be much quicker once you reach your destination. Mark Sedenquist, publisher of RoadTripAmerica.com, suggests a combination of clear plastic containers, duffel bags, soft backpacks and cardboard boxes for organizing your gear while traveling. It's also a good idea to place items you'll need right away toward the back of the truck bed.
- While your truck bed is a great place to store items, you'll also want to make sure those items are protected from the elements and prying eyes. One way to protect your gear is with a roll-up truck bed cover. These affordable covers are easy to install and will give you 100 percent bed usage for hauling your gear.
- A truck bed cover can also provide you with immediate gas mileage improvement, which may come in quite handy, as gas prices tend to increase during warm weather. A truck bed cover will help you save at the pump by reducing drag and making your vehicle more aerodynamic at high speeds. Most truck owners can see as much as a 10 percent increase in their fuel economy.
Future Cars: Rolls-Royce 200EX
Rolls-Royce is rolling out its newest concept car at the Geneva Auto Show in March, and the 200EX is already a hit. The 200EX is designed to be a smaller option to the Phantom, although Rolls-Royce says the 200EX will have a new frame and other components. The concept car's price tag is expected to start at $250,000.
Did You Know
General Motors shares set a new low recently, dropping to $1.52, tying a company record set it 1934.
Car Q&A
Question: I own a 2006 Hyundai Sonata. A couple of weeks ago, I put the key in the ignition and could not turn the key. I called for road service, and a man came to help. He used a small piece of wire and banged around the key cylinder, and the key then turned. I brought the car to the dealer and they could do nothing because the problem did not recur. What do you think, and will it happen again?
Answer: The most common problem with key cylinders that stay locked is sticking tumblers inside the cylinder. The tumblers in the cylinder are what the bumps in the key push against to allow the key to unlock the cylinder. We use a product called Lock Ease to lube not only ignition cylinders, but also all door and trunk key cylinders; just a small squirt is all that is needed. Never use oil in a key cylinder. Another possibility is the ignition key could be worn. If you have a second key, compare them and/or buy a replacement key.

just a quick question. When I implement a custom TransferHandler for a JTree / JList, can I expect that the importData method is called on the EDT and that I can simply Insert / Remove to / from the underlying model without having to push events on the EDT?
Or should I still wrap every action which changes the model up in a EDT.invokeLater(Runnable r) call?
I am asking because I am getting some visual glitches with and I want to know whether this is because of an error in my own code or because I am not using the EDT there explicitely.
Thanks in advance.

Consider Schrödinger's time-independent equation $$ -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\nabla^2\psi+V\psi=E\psi. $$ In typical examples, the potential $V(x)$ has discontinuities, called potential jumps.
Outside these discontinuities of the potential, the wave function is required to be twice differentiable in order to solve Schrödinger's equation.
In order to control what happens at the discontinuities of $V$ the following assumption seems to be standard (see, for instance, Keith Hannabus' An Introduction to Quantum Theory):
Assumption: The wave function and its derivative are continuous at a potential jump.
1) Why is it necessary for a (physically meaningful) solution to fulfill this condition?
2) Why is it, on the other hand, okay to abandon twofold differentiability?
Edit: One thing that just became clear to me is that the above assumption garanties for a well-defined probability/particle current.

Be smart about what you post on LinkedIn
August 17, 2011 in social media | Tags: LinkedIn, LinkedIn for business, LinkedIn profile, LinkedIn updates, twitter, Updating LinkedIn, using Linkedin | by Angela Connor | 2 comments
This is a cross-post from my company blog.
It's one thing to gripe on Twitter. People expect it. If it's a customer service issue and you're lucky – the right person from Company X will see it, work to resolve your issue, and you can move on. It's a common occurrence these days as some companies are offering better customer service on Twitter than they are over the phone and in person. But that's a post for a different day.
Back to the griping.
Because Twitter is so fast-paced chances are, the majority of your followers won't even see the gripes if they are few and far between. You are in no way classified as a common complainer and can easily go back to your normal way of tweeting. No harm, no foul.
But when you post the same kind of content as an update on LinkedIn, it attaches to your profile page and is visible to anyone who happens to view your profile. Now remember, this is a professional network. What you want to appear in that space is something that reflects positively on you or your business. (I recently posted link to a video highlighting some of the work Capstrat's social media team has done on Facebook.)
What you don't want is something that casts you in a bad light or leaves a bad impression on someone who may be interested in working with or for you, hiring you, or gleaning a bit of information from your profile to make some other decision about you.
I came across a LinkedIn profile today that had an update filled with Time-Warner bashing. And you know what? I wasn't phased by the bashing at all even though there's a great chance that all of his claims are true. I was more concerned about the person who was willing to sacrifice their own image on a professional social network, just to blast Time Warner. In my opinion, that is a major mistake. This person may be the best of the best in their field, but after reading that rant about Time Warner, which shows just below his name and current position, I wanted to get as far away from him as possible.
Now what if I wanted to hire him or contact him about an opportunity? I am now questioning his professionalism and quite honestly have lost interest.
You've heard it before, but with social media, you have to be smart. You can't post everything that crosses your mind. Be selective about what and where you post. And when it comes to LinkedIn, keep it professional.
Save your gripes for Twitter, where they belong.

Serves 2
250g spaghetti, dried or fresh
275g pancetta or lardons
1 tsp olive oil
30ml dry white wine or vermouth
2 eggs
30g Parmesan, freshly grated
Black pepper
30 to 50ml double cream
Freshly grated nutmeg
Put a large pan of salted water on to boil for the pasta. Fry the pancetta cubes in the oil until crispy but not crunchy. Chuck over them the white wine or vermouth and let it bubble away so that, after a few minutes, you have a small amount of salty winey syrup left. Take the pan off the heat.
In a bowl, beat together the eggs, Parmesan, cream and some pepper. Cook the pasta more or less according to the packet instructions. Put the other pan, the one with the bacon cubes, on the heat and add the drained pasta, tossing well to coat with the syrupy pancetta. Take the pan off the heat again and add the eggs and cheese mixture, swiftly tossing everything to mix. Grind over some more pepper and grate over the nutmeg. Sprinkle with more grated parmesan.


text: robertlane Report post Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) SHELBY AMERICAN TO INTRODUCE ITS MOST POWERFUL SHELBY YET AT NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW Team Shelby – Shelby American, Inc., a division of Carroll Shelby International (CSBI.PK), will introduce its most powerful Shelby yet on April 5, 2012, at the New York International Auto Show. Carroll Shelby and his team created the Shelby 1000 by starting with a 2012 Ford Shelby GT500 and kicking its handling, horsepower and braking to the performance edge. The Shelby 1000 will be offered in both a street and a Shelby 1000 S/C "off-road" track version. The street legal, pump gas version dyno's out at approximately 950 HP, while the track oriented S/C edition is rated at over 1,100 HP. "Carroll Shelby is a visionary who has pushed the boundaries of performance his entire life," said John Luft, president of Shelby American. "He challenged the Shelby American team to develop the Shelby 1000 and wanted to unveil this amazing new Shelby at the New York Auto Show celebrating 50 years since he unveiled the very first Shelby Cobra that changed the face of high performance. We will have that very car, Cobra #1 (CSX2000) along with Shelby 1000 on display in our Shelby American booth in New York." To build the car that Carroll Shelby envisioned, Shelby American takes Ford's 5.4 liter V8 down to the block to add new rods, crank and pistons. The team flows the heads, upgrades the cooling and exhaust, replaces the supercharger, tunes it and then sprinkles it with a little Shelby magic. To complement the new power, the Shelby 1000 has improved the handling and stopping capabilities with 6 pistons in front and 4 pistons in the rear, while the suspension includes new struts, sway bars and bushings. The new solid driveshaft is connected to a new 9-inch rear end. Exterior cues incorporate aerodynamics while maintaining a stealthy appearance. The hood, rear panel and splitter are functional pieces. A limited production of Shelby 1000s will be built, each numbered and documented. The post-title street package for the Shelby 1000 starts at $149,995 and the track S/C version starts at $154,995, not including the base GT500. A completed Shelby 1000 is expected to be approximately $200,000. Shelby American will accept orders once the Shelby 1000 is unveiled at the New York International Auto Show. Those interested in reserving a car can contact Shelby American at (702) 942-7325 or visit www.shelbyamerican.com after April 5, 2012. About Shelby American, Inc. Founded by legend Carroll Shelby, Shelby American manufactures and markets performance vehicles and related products. The company builds authentic continuation Cobras, including the 427 S/C, 289 FIA and 289 street car component vehicles. The company offers the Shelby 1000, GT350, GT500 Super Snake and GTS post-title packages for the current generation Ford Mustang. For more information, visit www.shelbyamerican.com.

'The Great Gatsby' Gets an Official Release Date for May 2013!
One of the most anticipated movies this year was supposed to be 'The Great Gatsby,' the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel adapted for the big screen and directed by Baz Lurhmann. That is, until Warner Bros. pulled the film's December release date -- where it was set to go up against 'The Hobbit' and 'Django Unchained' -- even after the studio already teased us with an incredible trailer featuring the glamorous-looking Leonardo DiCaprio all suited up.
We were then left in the dark when it was revealed the movie would be pushed back until next summer with no release date set in stone... until now! So, when will we officially get to see DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and their fellow stars all dolled up for the screen?
The latest rumors coming out of the woodworks suggested that filming was not yet complete on 'The Great Gatsby' and Warner Bros. was not interested in forking over more money for reshoots, after they already paid a total of $124 million. Though, the official statement from the studio was that they wanted to reach a larger audience and felt that a summer release date would be beneficial.
Now, the latest news, revealed today by Warner Bros. (via Deadline), is that the official release date for 'The Great Gatsby' is now May 10, 2013! The film will kick off 2013's summer movie extravaganza, followed shortly by 'The Hangover Part III' on the 24th and 'Man of Steel' on June 14. 'The Great Gatsby' stars DiCaprio, Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Jason Clarke, Isla Fisher and Elizabeth Debicki.
So, what do you think? Does this news of 'Gatsby's' summer release date calm your nerves? 'Cause we have all been a little on edge lately with wondering when this potential Oscar winner will get its screen time. Sound off in the comments!
