Hi and Welcome to my Rebellion.
I decided to give IG another try, but this time a bit different Inspired by Proiteus Awesome Rebel Grots
I made a test grot some time ago "the saluting one in the pics" and never looked at it again, until recently, after playing Wolf wing for 3 tournaments, I wanted to start with an all out Jump army, while looking for my marine bits I found the grot again which made me realize that I did not want to play another Marine army for some time.
So I started brainstorming.
I want this army to be Low Tech/ Steampunkish
So you will be seeing a lot of Empire stuff, (steam powered; weapons,vehicles, airships) If I mange to model the ideas I have that is.
While surfing the net for vehicles Ideas, I found this Gattling Tank
And decided that, I want to base the Hydra's on this concept. I started building yesterday evening and came up with this.
It's far from finished, I'll be using 2 Helblaster Volley guns as the AA Auto cannons, I'm still waiting for bits to arrive when I get the volley guns I can dry fit them and see if my idea can be modeled.
For Chimera's I'll be using Leman Russ Hulls, with a Battlewagon grot turret.
I received the first hull this afternoon and started building and this is where it stands at the moment.
(it will be driving "backwards")
And Another one
Last week I started on some other Grots, I've made a start on my Commander or Officer of the fleet (haven't decided yet) he could be both.
And some more pics Here and here
I hope to receive all my bits this week so I can continue to work on my vehicles, and start making new Grots.
Advise, Suggestions, Criticisms anything more than welcome.
Thanks for looking.

Analysis: What if one of the conservative Supreme Court justices retires?
A court with a more liberal majority would be likely to put an end to the kind of conservative activism that led to Citizens United, but whether it would have the force of the Warren Court is questionable. Chances remain slim, however, that Justice Kennedy or Scalia would step down.

Stuffed Animals Removed from "Hailey's Bridge"
By: Bigcountryhomepage.com Staff Reports
Updated: June 14, 2011
Shortly after the 13 year old went missing in December, supporters put up signs and stuffed animals on a bridge in Dunn, Texas near the home where the lone suspect in the case was staying. Since that time, the bridge has been the location for numerous gatherings and prayer sessions.
Residents who live in the area reported via the KTAB Facebook page that stuffed animals had been removed from the bridge and dumped on the ground below.
It's unclear if any crime was committed in the act. Scurry County Sheriff Darren Jackson had left for the day when bigcountryhomepage.com called for clarification.
Shawn Adkins remains the only named suspect in Hailey's disappearance.

Nathan R Mitchell of Clutch Consulting & Jim Whitt of Purpose Unlimited team up to help others experience the transformational power of purpose on Saturday, November 10th in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Tulsa, OK (PRWEB) October 13, 2012
Nathan R Mitchell, founder of Clutch Consulting, and Jim Whitt, founder of Purpose Unlimited, are teaming up once again – this time to present The Power of Purpose: How to Effectively Manage Career Transition in Tulsa, OK on Saturday, November 10th from 9 AM – 11 AM. This two-hour program will provide participants with a blueprint to effectively manage career transition during uncertain times through the transformational power of purpose.
Whitt's purpose was birthed in 1988 when he discovered his purpose in life — to help people reach their full potential. He's been fulfilling that purpose since as a consultant, speaker and writer. "People today want more from their work than paychecks, perks or pensions," Whitt says. "Times are tough. There's a lot of uncertainty in the economy and the workplace right now. There really is no such thing as security. Not one of us knows what the future holds, but that doesn't mean we cannot start living and fulfilling our purpose starting today."
Mitchell knows all about career transition. He had nearly a dozen years of experience as a mid-level manager with a Fortune 50 company before deciding to leave and start his own business. "There's no easier way to say it, but I was unhappy and unfulfilled in my work. The organization I was working for was going through a lot of change. I had to learn to either live with that or take responsibility and change it. I always had this feeling I was meant for something more – that I was meant to serve a purpose, to contribute something of value to the world, and I was willing to pursue that with everything I had."
Their philosophies are so congruent that Mitchell and Whitt decided to partner with each other on this workshop to help those who are unfulfilled in their work, or who currently find themselves in the middle of a career transition.
Jim Whitt founded Purpose Unlimited in 1988. He is the author of Riding for the Brand: The Power of Purposeful Leadership and The Transformational Power of Purpose: Finding & Fulfilling Your Purpose in Life. Nathan Mitchell is the founder of Clutch Consulting and has recently published his second book Turn That Frown Upside Down: Discover Meaning & Fulfillment in the Workplace.
Workshop topics include: finding the right career; the importance of purpose and career alignment; Identifying natural talents, skills and abilities; finding meaning & fulfillment in the workplace; work/life balance; and more!
Registration for the event is only $20.00 and includes a complimentary copy of Mitchell's book Turn That Frown Upside Down (A $15 Value).
To register for this event, simply visit http://www.PowerOfPurposeInBusiness.com

Sen. Charles Schumer urged regulators to "use extreme caution" when reviewing the proposed acquisition of No. 3 cell carrier Sprint Nextel by Japan's Softbank, saying the Japanese company's use of Chinese networking equipment could open up U.S. networks to snooping and hacking. "I have real concerns that this deal, if approved, could make American industry and government agencies far more susceptible to cyber attacks from China and the People's Liberation Army," Schumer said in a statement.

Second man injured in Gilford bob house explosion wakes up
GILFORD — A Pelham man is in critical condition at a Boston hospital with second-degree burns Sunday after a propane heater explosion in his bob house injured him and a companion.
Ryan Gagne, 26, of Pelham was flown to Brigham and Women's Hospital with severe burns to his hands and upper body. Friend and co-worker Kevin Fitzpatrick, 25, of Manchester was treated at Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia.
Gilford Fire Chief Stephen Carrier said the 2 a.m. explosion caused a flash fire that blew one of the walls nearly 15 feet from the 8-by-8 bob house, which Gagne had placed a few hundred feet from shore at Smith Cove on Lake Winnipesaukee.
"These guys were extremely lucky that they were not injured more severely and that they were close enough to shore to get help quickly," Carrier said.
Gagne, who runs Gagne Landscaping in Pelham, was being kept sedated at the hospital, said Mike Hamlin, Gagne's father-in-law, who lives in Gilford. Hamlin said doctors aren't sure yet whether Gagne suffered inhalation wounds as well.
"We don't know yet whether he's going to be alright," Hamlin said. "It's very serious."
Hospital spokeswoman Erin McDonough said he was in critical condition Sunday afternoon.
Fitzpatrick said he slept through the explosion.
"He (Gagne) must have got up to turn it on when it got cold and the valve was left on apparently," said Fitzpatrick, who had second-degree burns to his hands. "I just woke up to him panicking and freaking out. I didn't hear the explosion or anything."
Fitzpatrick, who works with Gagne, said they had gone to Gilford Saturday and planned to spend the night in the bob house while trying to catch some fish.
"We're definitely lucky to be alive. That's for sure," Fitzpatrick said.
Fitzpatrick said a neighbor who heard the explosion ran out onto the ice and helped the injured pair to his home and called for an ambulance. Fitzpatrick said Gagne's hands were badly burned but he was conscious as they waited for help.
"I was talking to him, trying to calm him down," Fitzpatrick said.
Fitzpatrick said the two had already been to Lakes Region General Hospital earlier in the day. Fitzpatrick received seven stitches to his head from an injury he suffered as they tried to adjust the bob house using a jack.
Gagne bought the bob house a few weeks ago.
"He had been talking about bringing the bob house up to go fishing, and he was really looking forward to sleeping in the bob house," Fitzpatrick said.
Hamlin said Gagne, who is married and has a child, was burned severely in part because his sleeping bag caught on fire.
Hamlin, who said he has been in the heating business for more than 40 years, said he was worried about the small bob house's propane stove.
"I told him be careful of that heater," he said. "I never liked the idea of them sleeping with that heater so close."
Firefighters said the incident should serve as a warning to anglers who will be participating in the Great Meredith Rotary Ice Fishing Derby next weekend.
"There is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning with gas stoves in such a small space. If it had not exploded, they could have been killed by the fumes," said Fire Department Lt. Jeff Madon.
"It points out that you can never be too careful," Carrier said. "Many of the bob houses on the lake have some type of heat source, and, whether it is wood or gas, if it is not used or installed correctly, it can create a hazard."

World Community Grid's success depends upon a massive volunteer force collectively contributing their unused computer time to accelerate research on humanitarian issues. Their partners include companies, universities and associations who are actively encouraging their employees, students, and members to join this vital effort. World Scouting has become a partner of World Community Grid, joining the IBM Corporation and a group of more than 340 companies, associations, foundations, non-profits and academic institutions. MarrakechSeptember 2006 Scouting does not exist in isolation; it is part of the community and it needs to work in partnership with others, from individuals to organizations and institutions at local, national and world levels' (The Strategy for Scouting). "More than ever before, we need men and women capable of acting in partnership for a world 'without borders', in the name of justice, solidarity and peace." Robert Baden-Powell, Aids to Scoutmastership 1919 The Charter states that 'development education (including peace education) and community involvement need to be integrated into the youth programme, particularly through the progressive training scheme'. Here are some initiatives at world and national levels which support the programme aspect of the Charter. For many young people participating in an exchange programme is a life-changing experience. Travelling to another country, sharing the day-to-day life with another group of young people and experiencing another culture are milestone events. Scouting has the opportunity to offer exchanges to young people and the challenge to make them quality and meaningful experiences. On the other hand, capacity building in the Scout organizations should be a key dimension of partnerships, especially in the area of adult resources. This can happen through leader exchanges, leader training and volunteer services.
Partnerships: Material & Financial Resources INTRODUCTION The success of a partnership depends partly on the ability of both parties to secure the necessary material and financial resources. However the financial dimension should not be the only motivation for the partnership. Partnerships should enable associations to gain access to different kinds of funding in order to guarantee their autonomy by generating their own funds, which will multiply their possibilities for action.
Partnerships: Multilateral Partnerships
Partnerships: Emergency Relief INTRODUCTION Partnership in the time of emergency, whatever the kind of emergency, is one of the most important types of partnership. This type of partnership shows the real humanitarian perspective of the partners. The emergency relief partnerships resources are so many, you can find so many information through surfing the internet.

Jesus frees a demon-possessed man
26 Jesus and his disciples sailed to the Gerasenes' land, which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, a certain man met him. The man was from the city and was possessed by demons. For a long time, he had lived among the tombs, naked and homeless. 28 When he saw Jesus, he shrieked and fell down before him. Then he shouted, " What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torture me! " 29 He said this because Jesus had already commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had taken possession of him, so he would be bound with leg irons and chains and placed under guard. But he would break his restraints, and the demon would force him into the wilderness.
30 Jesus asked him, " What is your name? "
" Legion, " he replied, because many demons had entered him. 31 They pleaded with him not to order them to go back into the abyss.t32 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs. Jesus gave them permission, 33 and the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the cliff into the lake and drowned.
34 When those who tended the pigs saw what happened, they ran away and told the story in the city and in the countryside. 35 People came to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone. He was sitting at Jesus' feet, fully dressed and completely sane. They were filled with awe. 36 Those people who had actually seen what had happened told them how the demon-possessed man had been delivered. 37 Then everyone gathered from the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave their area because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and returned across the lake. 38 The man from whom the demons had gone begged to come along with Jesus as one of his disciples. Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 " Return home and tell the story of what God has done for you. " So he went throughout the city proclaiming what Jesus had done for him.

Wall Street Confidence Trick: The Interest Rate Swaps that Are Bankrupting Local Governments
Far from reducing risk, derivatives increase risk, often with catastrophic results.
—Derivatives expert Satyajit Das, Extreme Money (2011)
The "toxic culture of greed" on Wall Street was highlighted again last week, when Greg Smith went public with his resignation from Goldman Sachs in a scathing oped published in the New York Times. In other recent eyebrow-raisers, LIBOR rates—the benchmark interest rates involved in interest rate swaps—were shown to be manipulated by the banks that would have to pay up; and the objectivity of the ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association) was called into question, when a 50% haircut for creditors was not declared a "default" requiring counterparties to pay on credit default swaps on Greek sovereign debt.

Wild Strawberries (Smultronstället) [DVD]
Screenplay : Ingmar Bergman
MPAA Rating : NR
Year of Release : 1957
Stars : Victor Sjöström (Prof. Isak Borg), Bibi Andersson (Sara), Ingrid Thulin (Marianne Borg), Gunnar Björnstrand (Evald Borg), Jullan Kindahl (Agda), Folke Sundquist (Anders), Björn Bjelfvenstam (Viktor), Naima Wifstrand (Isak's Mother), Gunnel Broström (Mrs. Alman), Gertrud Fridh (Karin)
Like all of his films, Ingmar Bergman's Wild Strawberries (Smultronstället) is a deeply personal work. It is of little surprise that Bergman used it as the starting place for his 1990 memoirs, Images, which he wrote at the age of 70, and in which he noted, after having screening 40 of his films over the course of a year, "I suddenly realized that my movies had mostly been conceived in the depths of my soul, in my heart, my brain, my nerves, my sex, and not the least, in my guts." Simply put, Bergman put the whole of his being into his filmmaking, which is why his body of work has had such lasting historical and aesthetic impact on the cinema.
Wild Strawberries was Bergman's 18th feature film in just over a decade as a film director, and it followed after the enormous international success of The Seventh Seal (1957). When the film was made, it was a time of crisis for Bergman: He had recently separated from his third wife, he had been hospitalized for several months due to a nagging stomach ulcer, and he was, in his own words, "feuding bitterly" with his parents. As he put it, when he wrote Wild Strawberries, "I tried to put myself in my father's place and sought explanations for the bitter quarrels with my mother."
The central character in Wild Strawberries is the elderly Professor Isak Borg (played by acclaimed Swedish silent star and film director Victor Sjöström), who travels from his home in Stockholm to the University of Lund in order to accept an honorary doctorate. As Borg is a renowned professor of medicine, the doctorate is yet another tangible award in a life of great achievements. Yet, for all his professional success, his personal life has been a failure, and the film traces his stepping back into his own past over a 24-hour period, finding himself faced with moments—some in flashbacks, some in dreams, some in fantasies—that were profoundly influenced by his egotism, coldness, and distance from those who loved him.
Wild Strawberries is a road movie of sorts, as the main narrative trajectory is impelled by Borg's car trip to Lund. He picks up passengers along the way, starting with his daughter-in-law, Marianne (Ingrid Thulin), who is estranged from Borg's son (Gunnar Björnstrand), who has inherited both his father's medical skills and his emotional frigidity and general misanthropy (this is depicted in a heart-breaking flashback in which Marianne tells the son she is pregnant). He also picks up three young people, a woman named Sara (Bibi Andersson), and two young men, Agda (Jullan Kindahl) and Anders (Folke Sundquist), who both wish to be her lover, but spend most of their time comically debating the existence of God.
Bergman structures the flashback and fantasy sequences as almost tangible experiences, in which the elder Borg stands like a ghost in the corner of his life's memories, watching events from his past unfold around him. As are so many memories, the ones that return to Borg are often painful, the road markers of where his relationships foundered. Yet, there is a twist in that the "memories" he relives are not really memories at all, for they depict events at which he was not present. So, in sense, there is a slightly supernatural aura over the events in Wild Strawberries, as if some unseen force is allowing Borg to see what happened in his absence, which has the effect of illustrating for him how his emotional distance damaged other lives. His past is not so much relived as it is revealed to him.
One of the first moments from the past he sees is the time in which the young woman with whom he was once in love (also named Sara and also played by Bibi Andersson) kisses his brother (Per Sjöstrand) in a wild strawberry patch (she eventually marries him). In another instance, Borg has a dream in which he fails a medical board examination, and as punishment is forced to watch a scene from his past in which his wife, Karin (Gertrud Fridh), has an adulterous liaison in the woods.
Personal as it was, Wild Strawberries is a deeply moving film that extends beyond Bergman's experiences and speaks to the importance of emotional connections among human beings—the need for people in our lives and the dangers of cutting ourselves off emotionally. In the central role, Victor Sjöström is a marvel. Having largely retired from acting, Sjöström, at the age of 78, brings a force of conviction and experience to the role of Professor Borg, and Bergman's camera captures perfectly the sense of loss in his deeply lined facial features.
Yet, as Robert Emmet Long perceptively noted in his book Ingmar Bergman: Film and Stage, if there is a flaw in Wild Strawberries, it is that Sjöström's depiction of Borg doesn't quite seem to fit with the portrait that is painted of his life through others. Constantly described as "cold" and "distant," by both the people in his past and those in his present, Sjöström never quite makes us believe this of Borg. Yes, he's pedantic and crotchety, but he never conveys that sense of inner coldness that could drive so much heartbreak in both himself and those around him. Thus, there is something of a narrative rupture between the presentation of the central character and the way others describe him, most notably his wife Karin in the adulterous flashback/dream sequence. As we never see Borg as a young man, we must rely entirely on others' appraisal of him.
But, perhaps this was part of Bergman's strategy. As much as Wild Strawberries is about an old man's journey through his past mistakes, perhaps it is also as much about how it is impossible to ever truly know someone, to ever get inside his or her soul and comprehend those complex inner workings. It may be that Borg was not nearly as cold as others made him out to be. While a seemingly pessimistic statement about human relationships, there are still moments of human warmth and comedy in Wild Strawberries that remind us that it's always worth the effort to connect with others, something Bergman, in his own personal isolation at that moment in his life, surely understood.

Another gorgeous transfer from Criterion. Taken from a 35mm composite print struck from the original negative and then digitally restored using the MTI Digital Restoration System, Wild Strawberries, which is presented in its original 1.33:1 aspect ratio, looks gorgeous throughout. Gunnar Fischer's beautiful cinematography--whether employing soft gradations of gray, as in some interior scenes, or harsh contrasts of severe black and whites, as in Borg's opening nightmare--is expertly realized. | |
The soundtrack, which has also been digitally restored, is presented in Dolby Digital one-channel monaural. Overall, it sounds clean and clear, with only a bare minimum of ambient hiss. Bergman always took special care in composing his soundtracks (the credits for Wild Strawberries list two sound designers), and this DVD renders the delicate sound mix and Erik Nordgren's bittersweet score very well. | |
Film scholar Peter Cowie, author of Ingmar Bergman: A Critical Biography, contributes a new audio commentary to this disc in which he offers critical insight into both Bergman's life and his aesthetics, making key connections between the two while also pointing out all kinds of small details that you might otherwise be unaware of (for instance, that the opening nightmare sequence is an homage to an early silent film directed by Victor Sjöström). A significant inclusion on this disc is a feature-length documentary shot for Swedish television in 1998 titled Ingmar Bergman on Life and Work. Hosted by writer and filmmaker Jörn Donner, it is essentially a 90-minute interview with Bergman about his life and film career, interspersed with brief biographical bits and old photographs. Divided into 10 chapters according to the topics under discussion—including fame and anonymity, dialogue with childhood, Swedish society, writing, and living with grief—this documentary offers detailed insight into one of the world's finest filmmakers. Its inclusion on this Criterion disc marks the first time it has been available in the U.S. Lastly, the disc also includes a stills gallery of 34 rare behind-the-scenes black-and-white photographs from the archives of AB Svensk Filminsustri. Each photograph also includes an intertitle explaining who is who. |

Amazing dress
I saw this online and knew it was the dress I wanted. After trying on several others, I was finally able to try this one on and I was right. It is so beautiful and I love all the beading details.

Beautiful Dress!
I felt so beautiful the second I put on this dress! I was looking for something simple with a little texture and beading. This dress offers just that! The beading on the train is so pretty. I also wanted a sweetheart neckline, which this dress does not have, but David's can turn it into a sweetheart during alterations...perfect! Another great reason to consider it is the price. At just less than $400, you can't beat it!
Thanks, David's! I'm a happy girl :-)

Poorly made
The dress was very nice. However, it was poorly made. I put it on before the wedding to take pictures, and parts of it broke off because it was only held on by a little string. So then I had to pay to have them put back on for the wedding. Check out your dresses well before you buy them.

The St. Mary's Colgan Panthers turned momentum on its side in the Class 3A regional final Thursday night against the Riverton Rams.
Riverton staked a 2-0 lead after four behind Nolan Wall throwing a strong game on the mound and two solo home runs by T.J. McDonald off Colgan senior V.J. Piccini.
The Panthers retired the Rams in the top half of the fifth and loaded the bases in the bottom half, coming through with two RBI groundouts and a RBI single to gain a 3-2 lead. Christian Cedeno relieved Piccini in the seventh and the Panthers worked their way out of a bases loaded jam with a strikeout and a pop out caught by Cedeno over his shoulder for the final out.
"Riverton playing the second game, they came off a big win," Colgan head coach Mike Watt said. "They had to battle with Southeast and they came out with a big win. They've got a lot of emotion and that carried right over into this championship game. They turn a big double play early. They were playing very well and I told our kids, 'Hey, just keep plugging along and do what we do.' We'll get an opportunity and the kids did a great job."
