Joseph Gordon-Levitt on 'The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories: Volume 2' and running around in a cape
Joseph Gordon-Levitt has appeared in four films this past year alone — The Dark Knight Rises, Premium Rush, Looper, and Lincoln — but the actor's real passion lies with hitRECord, his online collaborative production company that inspires users across the world to come together and create singular works of art. Last year, he released a compilation of those online collaborations in the form of The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories: Volume 1. The first volume was so popular that Gordon-Levitt reunited with collaborator wirrow to produce The Tiny Book of Stories: Volume 2, a brand new collection of moving (and funny!) stories from the hitRECord family and It Books. Gordon-Levitt took the time to talk to EW about this new volume, building a happy online community, and running around in a cape in the privacy of his home.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How does it feel to release Volume 2?
JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT: It just shows how far we've come. The difference between Volume 1 and Volume 2 is pretty great. There are a ton more stories in Volume 2, not because we wanted to make it bigger per se, but because people contributed just a lot more good writing and illustrations, and we figured we'd put it in. That just makes me feel good.
Did the level of participation go up between volumes?
That's exactly what happened. We're about done with our third year of hitRECord and it's just been a progression. More and more great artists are contributing stuff. Every time I'm in a movie that comes out, hitRECord receives a real boost.
It must have been a great year for hitRECord, then.
Yeah, exactly! When Inception came out in 2010, which is the first year we really were doing hitRECord professionally, it was just a remarkable step forward in the level of contributions. And the same thing happened last year when 50/50 came out. So this year, all these movies came out and there's been a lot of attention around me. I really enjoy getting to channel that attention into art-making.
Was it at all difficult to narrow down the contributions?
I would say it only makes it easier when you're getting more good stuff and also, not only do we have more writers and more illustrators contributing, we also have more curators, which is a huge part of it. There are thousands of contributions coming in, and so it's not just me and wirrow who are going through this stuff, it's the whole community. They're going through the different contributions and reading them and recommending them and writing comments about them. That sort of curation is a huge part of how we're able to get to the stuff that we want to put in the book.
What's the relationship like within the hitRECord community? I'm surprised there seems to be such a sense of good will between members. You don't see that often on the internet.
Thank you. A long time ago before hitRECord was this professional production company, it was just this little hobby website that I was putting my videos on. When I very first started to have my brother help me put up a message board so that other people could post onto the site, I was really torn about it because of exactly what you're talking about. Let's face it, in a lot of internet culture people are s—ty to each other, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to subject myself to that or have my website be a place for that. But I gave it a try and I was pleasantly surprised. Everybody was really cool to each other.
I can't believe that!
Maybe it's because… I find that on movie sets when you have a director who's cool to the people that are working on the movie, everyone tends to be cool to each other and enjoy the work and there's a great vibe on set. Recently, I've had the fortune to be on great sets and work for great filmmakers, but I have been on sets — I remember when I was a kid — where directors mistreat people and there's a bad vibe on set. I do think there's a little bit of that. I like to be really positive. I never really say anything negative on the site because I just don't think it's productive. I'll give constructive criticism sometimes, but mostly I'm just positive because that's what I think brings out the best work in people. It's a bright part of my day when I get to come on there and encourage somebody who's done some good work. It makes people feel great and that makes me feel great and that only makes the art better.
How does it feel to be promoting hitRECord on a nationwide tour?
To be honest, the tour doesn't feel like promotion. It feels like we're making art. At our shows, we're not just exhibiting things that are done, we're making new things. A lot of people bring their cameras and people come up from the audience and perform — they sing or dance or read stories. It's my goal oftentimes to try to shine light on the artists who are coming to these shows more than putting on a show myself and just having everyone sit in their seats and watch me.
That's creepy.
But that's what happens! [Laughs] That's the norm. The audience is just supposed to sit and not do anything.
Do you have a favorite entry from Volume 2?
Man, there are so many. There's one that I really like that I've been actually thinking about how we could try to perform it on stage. It's really quick. It just says, "Tell no one about this cape" [see page 80 of The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories: Volume 2] and it's got a picture of someone with a towel around their back acting like a superhero. I just love that because we all, I at least, I love to dress up in private and freak the f— out. And no one needs to know the weird character that I become in the privacy of my own home. [Laughs]
For fun, check out some of Duke University's renditions of "Tell no one about this cape" from the Nov. 15 stop on the hitRECord tour below:
I know ONTD likes to shit on JGL for this whole HitRecord thing but, while I do think he gets kinda pretentious sometimes when he talks about "making art," I find it admirable how passionate he is about the company.
Plus, the shows seem fun as hell. Case in point:

Holden helps Avalanche hang on against Predatorsby John Manasso
NASHVILLE -- Nick Holden was the last, and perhaps most unlikely, member of the Colorado Avalanche to get undressed on Saturday after his team's 5-4 win against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena.
Holden, a defenseman who entered the game with two goals in 27 NHL games, first had to do a postgame interview with local television after scoring twice and adding an assist. He then entered the locker room to good-natured ribbing from his teammates for the crowd of media members who awaited him.
"He's been like this since the start," Colorado coach Patrick Roy said. "He's been very impressive. I mean, training camp came, we signed him as a call-up and he came to the camp, played so well. I said, 'Hey, listen, you're going to start with us' and it's been like this. He's been very patient at the beginning of the year, didn't play much.
"Lately he's had his opportunity and he's taken advantage of it. What I like, I like his speed, he's jumping in the rush well and, you know what, his game is improving defensively, as well, and I'm very happy for him as well."
The 26-year-old Holden played only two years of major junior and was never drafted but worked his way up through the American Hockey League. He played five games with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2010-11 and two more last season before breaking through with Colorado this season. He has four goals, six assists and an even rating in 21 games.
The 6-foot-4, 207-pounder was self-effacing after his big night.
"I think the goals are good plays by my teammates," he said. "I think every game somebody else is stepping up. We've gone through a lot of injuries and it's kind of showed the adversity from our team here to battle through it. …
"It's different guys every night, and tonight it was luckily me."
Holden earned the primary assist on Matt Duchene's power-play goal at 6:31 of the third period that ended up being the game-winner, as Nashville rallied for three late goals late but came up one short. Holden's teammates noted that he almost scored on that power play, which would have given him a hat trick.
"He played unbelievable," Paul Stastny said. "… Almost had the hat trick there, didn't get it but [Duchene] picked up his rebound and I think that ended up being the game-winning goal."
The Avalanche improved to 31-12-5, including 5-0-1 in their past six games and 8-1-2 in their past 11.
They jumped on Nashville (21-22-7) for three quick goals in the first period, spoiling the Predators debut of goalie Devan Dubnyk, who was acquired on Wednesday in a trade with the Edmonton Oilers. Dubnyk finished with 24 saves but trailed 3-0 12:05 into the game.
The Avalanche took advantage of some defensive confusion by the Predators to score at 6:21 of the first period. Colorado unleashed three shots in a span of 12 seconds, the first a 50-foot slap shot from Holden. Later, Holden skated in from the point and put in a rebound of Nathan MacKinnon's backhander, which deflected to the opposite side of the ice and left the goal wide open. The secondary assist went to Stastny, who missed the previous two games with a leg injury.
Another Colorado defenseman, Jan Hejda, scored to make it 2-0 with 8:33 left in the first. Hejda's slap shot from near the right boards eluded Dubnyk to the wide side, looking as if it deflected off Nashville's Eric Nystrom.
Colorado capitalized on more sloppy defensive play by Nashville and took a three-goal lead 38 seconds later. Gabriel Landeskog scored his 14th goal from below the right faceoff dot after Nashville had full control but could not clear the zone. Again, assists went to MacKinnon and Stastny.
"We played good," Stastny said of his line. "It's good to be back. Hadn't been back in a while."
After that third goal, Nashville coach Barry Trotz called his timeout and appeared to read his team the riot act.
"I just said it's all about our 1-on-1 battles," Trotz said. "We had a couple of guys who weren't battling very hard, especially around our net. You've got to what we call boxing out. You've got to tie up people. They were just manhandling a couple of our defense tonight. I just thought they were real light and running around for no reason."
Rookie defensemen Seth Jones and Mattias Ekholm, who played as a pairing, each finished minus-3. Trotz also was not pleased with the play of the forward line of Colin Wilson, Mike Fisher and Patric Hornqvist, who finished a combined minus-5.
Nashville pulled within 3-1 late in the second period with the help of a two-minute 5-on-3 power play. Landeskog received a an elbowing penalty for a high hit on Predators defenseman Ryan Ellis, and Erik Johnson went off for roughing after he intervened when Nashville's Paul Gaustad went after Landeskog. The Predators got on the board 35 later when Fisher fed Hornqvist in the goalmouth for Hornqvist's 10th. The Predators could not score on the second half of the power play.
Nashville thought it scored its second goal before the end of the period, but a video review confirmed that time had run out.
Holden scored his second of the game at 2:31 of the third period with a slap shot that trickled through Dubnyk's left pad. Four minutes later, Duchene made it 5-1 when he fired from a steep angle and his shot went between Dubnyk's back and the post.
Dubnyk was not at his best. Trotz said he thought Dubnyk looked "nervous and rusty."
"I know Devan Dubnyk," Trotz said. "He's been in the League a long time. I've seen a lot better games from him. He'll get better. His first game I know he was nervous. We gave him very little support early and he just looked like he was nervous after that."
Dubnyk appeared disappointed in his effort.
"Usually what I bring to the table is a calmness and a presence and I relax back there, giving the guys a nice settling feeling," he said. "And I think, obviously, there's a lot going on and was real excited to get out there and play with this group. I think there's a little bit too much thinking going on, on my part, and not enough just going out and trusting and playing hockey. It's disappointing to see an effort like that out of this group and not be able to help them to two points."
Nashville's rally began with 11:46 left when Craig Smith stuffed home the rebound of Roman Josi's shot for his team-leading 15th goal to make it 5-2. Ellis scored on a slap shot from the point with 7:15 to go, and Josi scored his fifth of the season with 2:57 remaining on a rebound to pull the Predators within one.

There has been a ton of buzz floating around about the affordable so-called iPhone mini that Apple may or may not be working on. We recently wrote up all the leaks that have made their way onto the Internets to date, but now we have one more to add to that: and it's a visual.
As reported by Tactus earlier today, an alleged mold of the iPhone mini has finally surfaced, only revealing the backside. If it's real, it shows that, as we've all been thinking, the model will in fact be entirely plastic polycarbonate. But despite ditching the metal casing for the more affordable plastic, in standard Apple fashion, it's still sleek looking.
Even though it's being referred to as the iPhone Mini by many, the model shows that it looks as though it will actually be bigger than both the iPhone 4/4s, so maybe it won't actually be referred to the Mini. Perhaps it's just the affordability that will be the biggest draw.
The report also says that the plastic iPhone will run on an A5 processor just like the iPad Mini, have a 3.5-inch Retina display. And finally, if it's rocking a 5MP rear-facing camera, as the rumor says, then this could definitely be the perfect alternative for anyone who has been wanting an iPhone but hasn't yet been willing to shell out the cash in order to get one. (Not to mention, as we've mentioned before, it's likely that the plastic casing will allow for a selection of colors for those who want a little personality; another big draw in a market flooded with black, white, and silver devices.)
Tactus even goes as far to predict that the devices will hit the market on October 15 and sell for just $300, which is a big difference from the $100-150 price we earlier predicted. Will any of these predictions prove to be true? We'll just have to wait and see.

Al-Sumaria news website quoted a security source in the province as saying that the attackers detonated a bomb in al-Mustafa Mosque, located on a road between the cities of Kirkuk and Tikrit.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said security forces immediately arrived at the scene and started their investigations into the attack.
The source also said Daesh (ISIL or ISIS) militants are believed to have been behind the attack.
Iraqi army and popular forces fully liberated the Arab country from Daesh in December 2017.
However, the group's remnants continue to carry out terrorist attacks and suicide bombings in different parts of Iraq.

< Features
NetBeans 6.8
Re-base to the NetBeans 6.8.
- Name: Victor G. Vasilyev
- email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 13
- Last updated: 2009-12-01
- Percentage of completion: 20%
- Upstream project status: NetBeans 6.8 FCS depends on Glassfish v3 FCS. See NetBeans 6.8 FCS build schedule
Detailed Description
NetBeans IDE 6.8 is an update to NetBeans IDE 6.7.1.
For more about this release, see:
Benefit to Fedora
Latest features of the NetBeans will be available to developers on the Fedora platform.
- Update the
netbeans-platformpackages up to version 6.8.
- TODO provide an actual list of the affected packages after investigation of external dependencies of the netbeans-platform package. It will be done in short time after NetBeans 6.8 FCS.
- Update the
netbeanspackage up to version 6.8
- TODO provide an actual list of the affected packages after investigation of external dependencies of the netbeans package. It will be done in short time after NetBeans 6.8 FCS.
There are several extra packages that the netbeans package depends on. Many of these packages with required versions are already in Fedora. We'll make a decision about either patching the NetBeans software or updating/adding extra packages after additional investigation.
How To Test
All the NetBeans components are shipped for Fedora after full in-house test cycle. Java platform on Fedora has passed tests of the Java Compatibility Kit. Therefore, there are minimal risks that behavior of the NetBeans will be changed if the components are correctly installed. Hence, additionally required tests should be focused on the following aspects:
- Meeting the NetBeans packages with common requirements for the Fedora packages.
- Installation of the NetBeans packages and all related packages on a target version of the Fedora platform.
- Launching the NetBeans IDE via both Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Command Line Interface (CLI)
- Installation of additional NetBeans modules via an ad hoc Update Center that is established by NetBeans for its Fedora distribution.
User Experience
The NetBeans IDE is oriented on wide audience of developers from beginners up to experts. Each of them can find useful set of the development tools that are embedded in the IDE or can be integrated with. The NetBeans IDE is the modular system and it can be configured according to user needs.
The NetBeans Platform provides a generic framework for robust and extensible Java applications with the modular architecture and the GUI based on the Swing. All tools required for development of application are included in the NetBeans IDE.
See Dependency tree in Bugzilla. We'll give a more precise definition of the Dependency tree in short time after NetBeans 6.8 FCS.
Contingency Plan
None necessary. Both the NetBeans IDE and the NetBeans Platform extend a stack of the Java applications on the Fedora platform.
The NetBeans is shipped with the on-line documentation in forms of JavaDoc, JavaHelp, HTML and textual files. Prepared packages provide all this documentation.
The NetBeans project also supports Internet resources, including the knowledge base and wiki.
Release Notes
See the section Detailed Description for info about essential changes in the NetBeans 6.8 release.

17-year old, unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by self-appointed, unofficial "neighbourhood watchman" Zimmerman who has a history of stalking innocent young black boys. Zimmerman is over 100 pounds heavier and 11 years older than Trayvon who was walking away when Zimmerman began to chase him. Trayvon was returning to his dad's girlfriends house from the local store having brought Skittles and some Ice Tea. He was on the phone to his girlfriend.
In an almost incomprehensible on-going injustice, the police have allowed Zimmerman to walk free, not even arresting him, as the murderer has admitted to shooting dead the innocent teen but has claimed "self-defense" saying he felt threatened and describing Trayvon as "suspicious" during his 911 call. Under the controversial "Stand Your Ground" laws in Florida, this is apparently all a murderer needs to say to be completely let off. But how does someone half your age and half your size who is walking away from you threaten you? Since when did wearing a hood when it is raining become a justifiable reason for murder? Why did police do a "background check" on Trayvon as he lay dead on the floor but not on the murderer Zimmerman? Why was Trayvon's blood tested for alcohol and drugs but not Zimmerman's? Why did police "correct" witnesses who said Trayvon lay screaming for his life?
As the 911 tapes are released and more witnesses come forward to speak to the media, it is increasingly apparent that this was a hate crime, an act of racist violence, which has been defended by a racist police force who seem to be actively protecting the murderer.
Community rallies are taking place and media coverage is growing as mass public outrage also increases. There will be a "Million 'Hoodie' March" tonight (Wednesday 21/03/12) attended by Trayvon's parents in NYC to demand an end to racist profiling. People who can't attend are being asked to upload photos of them in a hoodie to social networking sites show support. UPDATE: Trayvon protest in Oakland SF Trayvon's parents at protest in New York

text: Just an hour from downtown Brisbane, Lake Wivenhoe is a spectacular water reserve, north-west of Brisbane. A visit to this scenic natural area offers a peaceful and tranquil outing complete with panoramic views of the lake. Lake Wivenhoe provides a focus for quiet and relaxed land and water-based, family-style recreation. Only non-fuel powered boats are permitted and domestic animals are prohibited. A permit is required for camping, fishing and boating. Wivenhoe Dam was completed in 1985 and lake Wivenhoe is extremely good for fishing, boating, camping, picnics and swimming. SEQWater Education Centre (on the Esk side of Wivenhoe dam wall) has many facilities including toilets, bus/car parking, shelter sheds, barbecues, interpretive displays, information trail, lookout, conference centre and information sessions (bookings essential). The large range of camping and boat ramp facilities nearby make these dams a must-visit spot for families and groups and the scenery surrounding them provides a breathtaking backdrop to the wet and watery fun. There are several places to stay including Cormorant Bay, Hamon Cove, Spillway Common, Logan Inlet, Captain Logan's Camp and Lumley Hill Camping Area. The choice is yours!

Double Trouble: The ATL Twins Take The Hunt To New York
To spend a night with Sid & Thurman Sewall, better known as the ATL Twins, is likened to being on a hunt with the hounds. They are pursuant to one very specific fox—one they can share. And while mating takes place at night, it's always open season on their other targets: fame and success. So call them Freaks, wiggers, incestuous weirdos; they've heard it all before. However, when their acting debut in Spring Breakers alongside Selena Gomez and James Franco comes out next March, be quick to bite your tongue before they bite your sisters'.
I'll admit, I caught myself biting my tongue last month. It was a Wednesday night on Houston Street, Manhattan's downtown dividing line, where I was parked at a table outside of the popular Jamaican spot Miss Lily's with the owner and an artist friend. During the meal we noticed two white dudes adorned with golden grills and skullcaps exiting the spot with a young beautiful model. Another friend came running over to our table, "Those guys are insane!" she let out, hands on cheeks like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone. As she told us of the debauchery they had just revealed in their RadioLily interview, we watched as the twins hopped in a taxi together with the model and disappeared into the night. As I found out later, the model was 18 and in a matter of hours, they both had their way with her, one at a time, consensually. (Don't believe them? They'll happily show you photos and videos.) Two nights later, I'll witness the hunt first hand.
Our Friday night started at 8 p.m. at the twins' 'No-Privacy' room in NYC's Standard Hotel. No privacy means the bathroom walls are constructed out of windows. It's a risqué gimmick to most timid tourists who pass through but the uninhibited twins made great use, watching their harem of ladies shower off after they were done with each of them. The twins had been drinking vodka and subtly mentioned taking prescription meds before my arrival, they were mostly buzzing off of their encounter the night before. Their latest sex prize turned out to be the daughter of Hollywood royalty. She had entered their world at a downtown club as an intrigued fan and exited as one of their many triumphs.
They were quick to welcome me into their world as their story rolled off their tongues between sips of Patrón and shared Camel cigarettes. This behavior stems from a crude upbringing in the "worst part" of Chattanooga, Tennessee, they began to explain. Growing up with just a food stamp-assisted mother, Sid and Thurman took to counter-culture around age 12. "We got into skating from our friend Chris Scoggins. He kinda took us under his wing, taught us about life and skating and what was cool. He was there in the room when we lost our virginity at age 12."
They finish each other's sentences as smoothly as they finish each other's cigarettes, passed an iPhone back and forth filled with 5,000 photos of asses they'd tapped and videos of some choice romps. Deciding to go up to the roof, the twosome enters a packed elevator, tongues out. "You scare me," an older French woman says as if she meant to keep that inside her mouth. The guys just smile; they're used to that. "Kill 'em with kindness," they mention later.
Their story progresses as the night moves on. "We moved to Atlanta when we were 15. Our mom was never home so and we had this house to party in." The boys soon gained the reputation of ATL Party boys and the fetes would be frequent, always ending with them sharing a girl in their bed. "We share everything, people don't really understand it, but it's all we know." The twins—who've only been apart for 6 hours of their entire lives—celebrated this bond, quickly becoming urban legends.

At a ceremony held at One Police Plaza last week, Kelly presented Officer Patrick Plunkett with a Certificate of Recognition for his role in apprehending the would-be robber.
"Officer Plunkett is one tough cop, and a very brave one, and on behalf of the entire department, I want to thank him for his courageous action," commended Kelly.
On the morning of Thursday, October 9, Plunkett entered a branch of HSBC bank located at 65-63 Grand Avenue where he spotted 36-year-old Robert Jablonowski of Glendale acting agitated, or as Plunkett put it, "it looked like the guy had just drank 20 cans of Red Bull."
Plunkett kept his eye on Jablonowski, and lined up behind him like he was just an ordinary customer. When Plunkett realized that Jablonowski was robbing the bank, he put the thief in a headlock and identified himself as a police officer.
Jablonowski put up a fight, even landing a few upper cuts that knocked out one of Plunkett's teeth and fractured his nose. But Plunkett kept Jablonowski in his grip, and when officers from the 104th Precinct arrived, the robber surrendered.
The gun turned out to be a fake, which Plunkett - a three-year veteran of the force - found out only after the arrest was made.
"As you know, the gun turned out to be a convincing imitation," said Kelly, "a fact that Officer Plunkett could not have known when he confronted the robber."

Grifton Clothing Company
Source: Daily Reflector Negative Collection (Manuscript Collection #0741)
Staff Person: Lynette Lundin
Description: This image was taken to highlight a time of tremendous growth in the City of Grifton, North Carolina. The Grifton Clothing Co. was working in the former furniture store in Grifton at this time, but they would soon be moving into a $225,000 plant under construction. The garment firm employed 100 people, and would employ 350 when they moved into their new building. Thanks to the Pitt County Development Commission for attracting new industry to the area and the people for raising nearly a quart-million dollars. The U.S. Census Bureau showed the population of this town grew from 510 to 1,827, between 1950 and 1960. The negative was dated May 28th, 1960.

A winner was selected from 33 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
DTV Shredder & BPG Motors
I am a 20 yr old engineering student at MIT.
I recently started a company which is developing an all electric motorcycle/unicycle called the Uno. The project started out as a highschool science fair project. The Uno first became public a year ago when the magazine "Popular Science" chose it as the invention of the year for 2008 and placed it on their cover. Since then, the Uno has graced magazines and newspapers around the world including the wallstreet journal, The New Yorker, The Chicago Times. The Uno even got me an invite to a pajama party at the playboy mansion ;)
I have always loved motorcycles having grown up watching Monster Garage and Junkyard Wars. My Opa was an engineer and I spent countless hours playing in machine shops as a kid. I also like extreme sports and have started an extreme sports company which builds this really cool powered snowboard/skateboard called the DTV Shredder ( http://www.bpg-motors.com ) .
School is not necessarily my thing, but i see it as an amazing opportunity. But my real passion is pursuing these kind of projects. I'm planning on branching out into regular electric streetbikes.
for more information google : the Uno, Ben Gulak,
websites: www.the-uno.com www.bpg-motors.com
Good Luck everyone!
The target Audience is anyone interested in extreme sports.
The DTV Shredder encompasses aspects from a variety of extreme sports ie: snowboarding, skateboarding, motocross, Wakeboarding, ATVing, Snowmobiling
People from a cross section of sports are going to relate to this sport.
The Demographic for the Shredder is anyone between the ages of 10 - 30 yrs old.
I'm need a DTV Shredder Uniform. It is a ground breaking sport which has no safety equipment yet, no designated style or look.
I'm looking for 3 looks, the guys, girls and a model look (skimpy/slutty clothing, leather jacket etc...) .
- The DTV requires some safety gear (Helmet and wrist guards)
- It can be used in both hot and cold weather
- Goes 30 mph so the rider needs to be protected if something goes wrong or bails (i'm envisioning something similar to motorcycle gear?)
- The clothing also needs to be light enough to enable the rider to perform tricks and have full body control.
The DTV is going to be featured on a RedBull Add and showcased on MTV's Nitro Circus. The outfits designed will be used to create real clothing and used in photoshoots.
The Uniform should be a combination of different styles to make one coherent look.
I uploaded a bunch of photos that will be helpful with the design to a zip file at:
The file is called Uno Uniform Pictures.
I'm looking for logo placement, colors and style. I'd like to see the figures both positioned on a side profile of the DTV and just the models alone.
Good Lock Everyone

This is a collection of 16 vignettes (some are "Bignettes") featuring Spider-Man, as known and loved in the pages of Marvel Comics' "The Amazing Spider-Man" - Volume 1.
As a fan of the original 1960's Comic Book and also of the subsequent Spider-Man cartoons (also of the Sixties), I have tried to capture Spidey and many of his unforgettable and original enemies. I have also included some other familiar Marvel characters, plus a few other surprises!
Here's a list of the vigs, featuring Spider-Man and...
Doctor Octopus
The Green Goblin
Jack O' Lantern
Kraven the Hunter
The Man-Wolf
Madame Web
The Spider Slayer
The Lizard
The Rhino
The Sandman
The Scorpion
The Vulture
And a couple of other vigs...
And, as the ol' Web-head said, these MOCs are dedicated to Creator/Writer, Stan Lee, and to Penciller/Inker, Steve Ditko.

How does this work? Normally the visa gets stamped in the passport in September and runs through June. Can you stay during the summer as a tourist? i am confused.

You SHOULD be ok, though I'm not certain of this - and perhaps no-one including the officials, really are! If it were me, I'd want to carry whatever documentation from the school that shows that your work permit for the upcoming period has been applied for. Don't trust me totally on this - I don't know the new rules - but in the past, so long as paperwork had been filed, people were usually OK. Are you planning to travel outside the CR? If so, I'd probably try starting outside the Schengen zone, to get a fresh stamp. Croatia's a nice option, for example....

Sorry, I am really confused based on my shallow understanding of the immigration laws. If someone has already been on a D visa, how can they just rollover to a C visa (or no-visa entry for named nationalities, e.g. US citizens)? The C visa or its no-visa equivalent as I understand it is calculated on a rolling basis; therefore I don't see how a border run would reset the time period unless stated in the regulations. Also, are you sure the FP still have jurisdiction? See e.g. http://www.mvcr.cz/mvcren/article/changes-in-conditions-for-the-entry-and-stay-on-the-territory-of-the-czech-republic-from-2011.aspx?q=Y2hudW09NA%3d%3d. "Newly, the Ministry of the Interior offices took over responsibility for a significant part of matters related to the residency of foreign nationals in the Czech Republic. In what circumstances should foreign nationals contact the new regional offices of the Ministry of the Interior (Department for Asylum and Migration Policy) from 1 January 2011? * application for an extension to a long-stay visa (applications for such visas should continue to be made to the relevant Czech embassy abroad) * application for a long-stay visa for the purpose of leave to remain on the territoryand extension of validity of such a visa or length of stay on the basis of this visa * application for a long-term residence permit or its extension * application for a certificate of temporary residence (EU citizens) * application for a temporary residence and for a residency card for a family member of EU citizen and its extension, respectively * application for permanent residence" Are the FP more "efficient" now because jurisdiction of most of these matters has been transferred to the Ministry so now the FP sit around all day long playing Farmville? From what I last read the Ministry is gridlocked.

No, you are correct that a border run would NOT reset the time period. I was getting at the idea of a long summer (90 days) outside the zone. Croatia could be ideal for this, if necessary. The Prague FP were notoriously difficult to get into and to deal with, but have undergone a significant revamping over the past five or six years. They've become far more organised and civil over the past few years. According to the info you've posted below, the FP likely do not have jurisdiction any more, correct. As I stated in my first post, I am not up on the current rules. The only reason for my posting was to note that, traditionally, so long as paperwork has been filed, a teacher is generally considered OK (unless some serious bad luck occurs). I am not personally in a position to need to renew anything (have permanent residency since 2000) nor do I have any official position in the industry in Prague at this time. Not to mention the fact that things change rapidly! The best sources of info on this outside the official channels should be the schools that employ the teachers.

This version of mIRC addresses a number of issues since the last release in May. It includes a number of improvements, changes and fixes to the interface, scripting language, and several other features.
In particular, a new editbox "automatic" lines feature has been added that dynamically changes the size of the editbox in a window to show the whole of your typed message, up to half the size of the window. This allows you to easily see and review your message before sending it.
Various other changes include:
Added support for the transfer of files larger than four gigabytes.
Added /var -g switch to allow you to set global variable values.
Added $input() identifier combobox support.
Fixed UTF-8 text-wrapping display bug.
Fixed switchbar display button-sorting display bug.
Fixed window positions not being saved correctly for some windows.
Fixed server connection not remembering SSL status in some situations.
In total there have been almost 50 changes to this version and although most of them are only small fixes and tweaks, we hope that they result in a more useful and stable mIRC for you.
Full list of Fixes, Changes and Additions:
1.Fixed $istok() not returning error if too many parameters supplied.
2.Fixed /scon returning wrong error message.
3.Fixed window positions not being saved correctly for certain types
of windows.
4.Fixed tab completion issue with long text/identifier values.
5.Fixed Channel Central dialog excepts/invites bug, now looks for +eI
modes in the CHANMODES token as well as EXCEPTS and INVEX tokens.
6.Fixed reload logs feature displaying session information twice on
reloading a log file.
7.Fixed $calc() returning +/-0 in some situations.
8.Improved handling of hotlinks enclosed in brackets.
9.Fixed server ports bug when using toolbar connect button.
10.Fixed color display bug in tips title/message text.
11.Fixed text display bug due to incorrect text width measurement with
some fonts/characters, now using new method to measure text width.
12.Changed $window().sbstate/tbstate to return button status even if
the corresponding bar is hidden.
13.Fixed $hfind/$regml regex bug.
14.Fixed channels list window focus bug when getting list.
15.Fixed script editor editbox warning to take account of long wrapped
16.Fixed window focusing bug in certain situations.
17.Fixed /toolbar load/save bug with @window parameters.
18.Fixed /did -d CRLF bug.
19.Fixed picture @window popup menu bug under Vista.
20.Added support for the transfer of files larger than four gigabytes.
This required the following extension to the DCC transfer protocol:
If mIRC sees that it is sending or receiving a file with a size
larger than a 32bit value, it sends and expects to receive 64bit
acks. In all other respects, the protocol is unchanged. Note that
all previous versions of mIRC are unable to either send or receive
such large files.
21.Changed file transfer CPS calculation method, now reflects the real
average CPS over the last few seconds.
22.Improved the way the "Total Max Cps" feature throttles transfer
23.Increased the maximum allowed DCC Send packet size. This may or may
not improve speed depending on your connection type.
24.Fixed DCC Send/Get bug where files of zero bytes in size could not
be transfered.
25.Changed DCC Send so that it now always sends packets ahead of acks.
This means that even if it receives no acks at all, mIRC will still
transfer the file. If "Fast Send" is enabled, mIRC will attempt to
send packets as fast as it can.
26.Fixed regex identifiers hiding output of called identifiers by
default - they now require . prefix in calling alias.
27.Fixed /server switches not being remembered on an automatic retry
connection attempt after a disconnection.
28.Fixed server connection not remembering SSL status if you disconnect
and then reconnect to a server.
29.Fixed switchbar display button-sorting display bug.
30.Added $window().tbtext for window treebar text.
31.Added /editbox -vqN switches, where -v prevents the editbox contents
from being changed and -qN enables/disables/toggles second editbox.
32.Added /var -g switch, sets global variable values.
33.Added $timer().pause property.
34.Added $input() 'm' switch which allows you to include multiple "text"
parameters and to display them in a combobox. The first text item is
the default item, the rest are the items in the list.
35.Fixed /log on command bug not using logs folder.
36.Optimized text mark/copy routine.
37.Added Track Urls warning when feature is enabled via system menu.
38.Changed unicode display method slightly - mIRC now preloads the cache
with the default system unicode font and various other unicode fonts
if they are found on your system.
39.Fixed if/while bracket parser bug.
40.Added $chan/query/send/get/chat .idle properties.
41.Added editbox "automatic" lines feature to display/options dialog
that dynamically changes the size of the primary editbox to show
all of your typed text, up to half the size of the window.
42.Extended /window -eN switch where 0 = single, 1 = multi, 2 = auto,
and 3 = default.
43.Changed Control+Home/End key behaviour so that they move the cursor
if you are editing text in a multi-line editbox, otherwise they
scroll the display buffer.
44.Updated to OpenSSL 0.9.8h library.
45.Changed Enter key behaviour in multi/auto editbox so that it sends
a line when pressed in the middle of a line. To insert a line you
can use the Alt+Enter key combination.
46.Changed Status Window editbox to reflect single/multi/auto editbox
47.Fixed UTF-8 text-wrapping display bug.
48.Fixed SSL certificate caching bug when maximum cache size exceeded.

If you have been into computers very long, you know that three of the big names in motherboards are ASUS, MSI, and GIGABYTE. We started our trek in the Intel P67 series chipset motherboards with the ASUS P8P67 Deluxe, and it was a great board. We followed that board with the MSI P67A-GD65; this is a great offering from MSI. Today, we are going to look at a board from the third company I mentioned above. The GIGABYTE P67A-UD4 falls in the center of the GIGABYTE P67 offerings. The flagship GIGABYTE P67 board is the P67A-UD7, while the entry level offering is the P67A-UD3. The entire line up of GIGABYTE P67 boards covers mild, wild, and everything in between.
Just because the GIGABYTE P67A-UD4 isn't the flagship board doesn't mean that it is lacking in features. In fact, the GIGABYTE P67A-UD4 shares many of the features of the flagship P67A-UD7. We'll start out with the basic similarities between most (if not all) Intel P67 motherboards. SATA6 is supported via the Intel P67 chipset. I haven't come across any P67 boards that aren't taking advantage of USB 3.0. In the case of the GIGABYTE P67A-UD4 there is a pair of Renesas D720200 chips which supplies us with two USB 3.0 ports on the rear I/O panel, as well as a header that will run a pair of front panel USB 3.0 ports. We will take a peek at the Renesas chips as well as others when we look at the layout of the GIGABYTE P67A-UD4.
The GIGABYTE P67A-UD4 is part of the Ultra Durable 3 series of motherboards. This series of motherboards features double the copper on both the power and ground layers of the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). This aids in the cooling the hot spots on the P67A-UD4 motherboard by wicking the heat away to cooler areas. GIGABYTE's Ultra Durable 3 cuts the PCB impedance by as much as 50%; this reduces electrical leakage which also lowers temperatures. The signal quality is improved by the 2x copper design and the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) is also lower; this helps provide better overall system stability and better overclocking.
The GIGABYTE P67A-UD4 takes advantage of GIGABYTE's Dual CPU Power Technology. During light to normal loading the CPU will operate on 6 of the 12 available power phases. Fire up a CPU intensive task like Folding at Home, BOINC or any number of other applications and the P67A-UD4 will increase the power phases from 6 to the maximum 12 available on the GIGABYTE P67A-UD4.
Speaking of power phases, all of the GIGABYTE 6 series motherboards use an Intersil PWM controller. The Intersil PWM controller has been approved by Intel and is VRD 12 compliant. The Intel approved PWM controller offers SerialVID (SVID); this transfers power management information from the processor to the voltage regulator controller. This allows a more efficient signaling control between the CPU and PWM controller. What does this mean for the end user? Ideally, a more energy efficient system.
These aren't the only features that are going to make the GIGABYTE P67A-UD4 the quality (hopefully) product we have come to expect from GIGABYTE. The P67A-UD4 also offers DualBIOS. If you have ever bricked a board with a bad flash, then you know how frustrating it is! If you haven't done that yet, count your lucky stars! Fortunately that shouldn't happen with GIGABYTE's DualBIOS. There are two physical BIOS ROMs integrated into the GIGABYTE P67A-UD4; this will facilitate a quick and easy recovery from a number of causes of corrupted BIOS! Also supported in the new BIOS is the ability to boot from 3TB+ hard drives without the need for partitioning!

Quite obviously there is a lot of information and features to cover on the GIGABYTE P67A-UD4. We have taken a look at some of the bigger pieces of the puzzle that make up the P67A-UD4, though as we go through our tour of the motherboard and packaging we will cover even more. So without further ado, let's move on to the next page where we will look at the retail packaging and accompanying bundle!

Post subject: Taxi or shuttle to CDG airport ?
I'm normally quite happy with the Paris par Train or Cars Air France, but this time will have two large pieces of luggage for my return to CDG airport. I want to take a taxi or car service/private shuttle from my apartment in the Marais. There must be 50 different companies advertising, all with a price of around 75 euros for one person (they don't ever say if a tip is extra).
Does anyone have experience with any companies that they can say are reliable and possibly cheaper than 70 euros for a private trip? I might add that I'll be traveling on a Saturday, late morning flight.

Post subject: taxi/shuttle
i just returned from paris where i took a shuttle from and a taxi to the airport. i used paris blue shuttle (
). It's only about 25 or 30 euros for one person, less for groups of more than one person. you can reserve online and i found them reliable and friendly.
we took a taxi from montmartre to cdg and it cost 40 euros. the marais is farther from the airport than montmartre, so it might cost you 50 euros or so. i would highly recommend scheduling the taxi in advance. we waited until the morning of our flight to have our hotel call one, and they couldn't get through by phone. we ended up having to wait in line for about 30 minutes at a taxi stand, stressed, as you might imagine.
good luck (and have fun in paris)!

Thanks for the suggestion. I might try the blue private shuttle. I'm a bit wary of taxis if I'm truly rushed. My taxi stand isn't close enough, and calling a taxi for the airport virtually guarantees a meter starting at 10 euros or more. They start the meter when they are dispatched, at least this is what my French friends say happens on airport runs because they know you don't have time to argue.
Taxi story: I arrived at gare de Lyon and took a taxi to my apt in the Marais. The driver assured me he knew where my street was. In addition, I gave him directions. Then he started fussing with his GPS, said he couldn't find my street, and suddenly we're crossing to the Left Bank. I insisted he go back to the Right Bank. He missed the first bridge back and took me on a loop.
At my apt, the meter read 10,40 euros. I told him he had two choices. I'd pay the 10,40 but he'd have to give me a receipt and I'd file a complaint with the police. Or, I'd give him half (approx. the correct amount) and we'd be quits. He thought for a few seconds and chose the half.
But don't try this in English or if you are obviously in a rush and leaving the country.

The Air France buses are great, as long as it isn't rush hour. I took one from Paris during a rail strike. If you stay in the Marais, as I do, there is an Air France bus to the gare de Lyon, also. With all my luggage (confitures and pastry equipment), I'd still need to take a taxi from my apt.
A nice thing about the bus, as opposed to the Paris par Train (best during rush hour or with not too much luggage), is that the CDG bus stop at Terminal 1 is right at the door where you exit customs.

DURANT, Okla. – Southeastern opened up on offense on the first day of the Southeastern Regional Invitational piling up 14 runs and 18 hits en route to sweeping Washburn and Missouri Western State on Friday.
The Savage Storm picked up a 5-3 win over WU and followed that with a 9-4 victory over MWSU.
The wins lift SE to 5-2 overall on the season heading into day two of the event at the Durant Multi-Sports complex when the Storm will face Lincoln at 10 a.m. and No. 4 Angelo State at 2 p.m.
Whitney Hamilton, Rachel Jones and Darrian Williams each connected on a pair of hits against Washburn, with four different players posting RBI.
The Storm also worked the base paths with Jessica Simmons posting two steals, while Hamilton, Courtney Moore and Courtney Riddle each had one.
Simmons put SE on the board first against the Lady Blues when she teamed with Hamilton on a double steal.
That was followed by an RBI single by Riddle that plated Hamilton and a Jones single that scored Riddle to mount a 3-0 lead.
WU knotted the game in the third with an RBI double and a two-run homer.
SE got a run back in the bottom of the third when Lacie Cook drew a bases loaded walk to put SE in front 4-3.
SE finished its scoring when Williams beat out an infield single to short while Kaija Morris scored from third.
In the nightcap, The Storm carved out eight hits en route to a key regional win over a team receiving votes in the NFCA national poll.
Mindy McElroy and Laramie Beal posted the only multi-hit outings, with McElroy making the most noise on the day with a grand slam that moved SE from three runs down to one up.
McElroy finished with four RBI, while Jones and Moore each added two RBI.
MWSU opened scoring with a two-run homer in the fourth inning, but the Storm responded in the bottom of the fourth with Beal singling home Morris who was running for Hamilton.
The Griffons came back in the top of the fifth and got a solo home run and an RBI triple to mount a 4-1 advantage.
Southeastern, however, would again respond when McElroy connected on the team's first grand slam of the season, moving the Storm in front 5-4.
That lead bloomed to 9-4 in the bottom of the sixth when Jones doubled home Simmons and Williams which was followed by a two-run homer by Moore.

The time frame for order delivery is divided into two parts:
USA / UK / Canada / Australia Shipping time:
This refers to the time it takes for items to be shipped from our warehouse to the destination. US delivery usually takes about 7–20 business days. US orders are shipped by ePacket, which is a US Postal Service product.
All of our sizes come all in Asian Sizes but we convert them to US American sizing standards so you can just choose your regular American US standard size you would normally get.
If you would like to take a look at the sizing to make a more accurate size take a look at this chart below, It shows the US measurements of the of our clothing.
If you receive your item and the tag is two sizes larger than the size that you originally purchased it is because that tag is in Asian Size and it is two sizes smaller.
