Independent Games Festival 2009: Coders - go!
And – hark! – there was a great call across the land. And with it, there was a sound like locusts, as a million coders started typing code and similar. The Independent Games Festival have made their call for entrants for the 2009 competition. People who want a crack at the assorted prizes – past winners include everything from World of Goo to Darwinia to Audiosurf to Braid to Aquaria to other splendid pieces of awesomeosity – have from now until November 1st to get their entrants in. People for the Student competition have another couple of weeks, until the 15th, as presumably the IGF people know students are slack. They've announced new judges for this year too, including Kyle "World of Goo" Gabler, Rod "Sims" Humble, Soren "Civ4" Johnson, Chaim "Spore" Gingold, Petri "Crayon Physics" Purho and Jim "Rock Paper Shot…" waitaminute! Jim! You never told me about this.
I'd mock Jim more, but I'm doing it too. Any excuse to play Indie games, us.

Expert Advice
Compression technology delivers strength to your body when you need it most. Take on your training in compression apparel that supports muscles and increases blood circulation as you work out ' boosting your recovery time post-workout and fending off muscle fatigue.
Wear your compression gear alone or as a baselayer, whether you're taking on another mile or conquering grueling two-a-days. Compression clothing is designed for a lightweight, second-skin fit that flexes and bends with your body as you train. Details like flat stitching prevent uncomfortable rubbing and chaffing, while mesh gusseting provides breathability.
Choose compression gear designed with moisture-wicking technology, which works to pull perspiration from your skin for an all-day fresh feeling. Thermal compression technology helps regulate your core body temperature, keeping you energized in chilly temperatures.
Men's compression clothing designed with a graduated fit helps increase your circulation. For a custom-like fit, choose compression clothing designed with four-way stretch and details like ankle and wrist gripper elastics. For ultimate comfort from the practice field to the locker room, choose compression clothing treated with antimicrobial fabrication that prevents the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
Train outdoors with compression clothing designed with reflective elements that keep you visible in low-light. Clothing designed with UV ray-blocking technologies work to protect you from the sun's harmful glare.
What is compression clothing made of?
Compression clothing is typically made from a blend of spandex and nylon.
How does compression clothing work?
Compression technology utilizes tighter-fitting fabric to help support circulation to the core and/or select muscle groups. One version of the technology, called graduated compression, targets the extremities in order to redirect blood flow back to the heart, while another, called compartmental compression, aims for more specific areas.
What is compression technology?
Compression technology applies increased pressure on certain areas of the body to support blood flow. This technology is built into apparel, such as shirts, shorts and sleeves, with the aim of supporting athletic performance.
What is compression clothing good for?
Compression clothing can be beneficial for athletes of almost any sport. Lower-body apparel, like men's compression pants and men's compression shorts, may particularly help runners, while upper-body compression items, such as men's compression shirts and compression socks and sleeves, can be especially helpful in football and baseball.
What are the benefits of compression gear?
Compression clothes are designed to promote increased blood flow, which supports oxygen delivery to the muscles. This not only helps support an athlete's performance, but it may also assists with post-workout recovery due to a reduction in the build-up of lactic acid. Besides reduced muscle fatigue during and after an athlete's workout, compression technology may also lessen muscle oscillation, cut down on chafing and wick sweat.
How should compression clothing fit?
Compression apparel should have a tight, body-hugging fit. Exactly how tight, though, depends on the level of compression, which can range from mild to extra firm and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg):
Most athletes benefit from mild- to moderate-grade compression, while firm and extra-firm levels should only be worn under medical supervision.

Common to all of these meetings is that they provide the opportunity to share experiences and ideas, inspiring you to think beyond your own horizons, and to develop and sustain that invaluable network of people – with names and faces – that you know you can get in touch with when you need help, advice, or someone to bounce ideas with. Keep reading to learn more about how we experienced this at the EBSCO beta meeting and at the German FOLIO Days.

In late March, my colleague Lari and I spent three productive days getting to know and working together with colleagues from the libraries at University of Alabama and the Five Colleges in Amherst. Like Chalmers, these libraries are implementing FOLIO as EBSCO beta partners, with hosting, implementation and support services from EBSCO. Hosted by the 5 Colleges and organized by EBSCO's team of implementation consultants, the meeting included many interesting discussions and quite a bit of hands-on work.

In mid-April my colleague Marie and I went to Bremen for the German FOLIO Days, which we saw as a chance to get to know European members of the FOLIO community. It was great to see and speak to so many librarians and service providers from all over Germany, and some visitors from other countries, all curious about FOLIO. For Chalmers it is crucial to have a strong footing in the European community. We know that there are issue and interests particular to the European context, like the GDPR and localization and internationalization, that are vital both to us as European institutions and for FOLIO to be a project with a truly international identity and viability in the European market.

Since neither Marie nor I speak German, we had an interesting time using online translation tools, the advantage of having a Germanic first language, and kind help from fellow conference participants to keep up with presentations and workshops in German. Finding the right balance between a common language and the language that attendants are most comfortable is a tough challenge – but it's one that I'm actually happy to see us faced with, since it means that the community really is international. It might also have been partly thanks to this creative confusion of languages, paired with the openness of the people present, that I found myself feeling oddly comfortable in a workshop in German on loading user data into FOLIO using bash – another language I'm not quite fluent in yet.

Working with FOLIO, at this moment in time, you get to experience these encounters of people and software and organizations and ideas in abundance. In the coming month I look forward to trying out the latest release of FOLIO in the Q 2.1 release bugfest, to delving further into data migration, and to talking FOLIO with international colleagues at the FOLIO working meeting in Washington DC and at ALA.

Obama: 'These tragedies must end'
NEWTOWN, Conn. — President Barack Obama delivered "the love and prayers of a nation" to a solemn crowd here Sunday night, but said the nation faces "hard questions" and even tougher answers in the aftermath of the mass shooting that killed 26 at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
( PHOTOS: Obama visits Connecticut)
Story Continued Below
Obama made no specific policy promises, but he signaled that this tragedy could change Americans' views on guns and violence — and that he was prepared to lead the way.
"In the coming weeks, I'll use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens — from law enforcement to mental health professionals to parents and educators — in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this," Obama said. "Because what choice do we have? We can't accept events like this as routine. Are we really prepared to say that we're powerless in the face of such carnage? That the politics are too hard?"
( Text of Obama's speech in Connecticut)
"Can we honestly say that we're doing enough to keep our children, all of them, safe from harm?" Obama asked the auditorium at Newtown High School, a black curtain and the American and Connecticut flags behind him. "I've been reflecting on this the last few days, and if we're honest with ourselves, the answer's no."
Obama listed the three other mass shootings he's had to respond to since taking office nearly four years ago, plus the countless acts of violence that happen each day across the country. "We can't tolerate this anymore. These tragedies must end. And to end them, we must change," he said, reading not from a teleprompter but from printed text in a brown leather folio. "Surely we can do better than this."
( Also on POLITICO: Simon: Waiting for the good guys)
Though he said laws alone could never prevent tragedies like Friday's mass shooting, "that can't be an excuse for inaction," he said, not once mentioning guns or laws to restrict them.
"Are we prepared that such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?"
Candles — one for each victim — sat, unlit, on a black-draped table in front of the podium as the president spoke, following prayers from a diverse collection of clergy and remarks by Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy.
The country and the world could hear Newtown's tears as the crowd broke down, gasping and sobbing, as the president recited the names of the adults who died early on in his speech and the first names of each child who died as he concluded his remarks.
"For those of us who remain, let us find the strength to carry on and make our country worthy of their memory," Obama said.
To the families of those killed and to the survivors, Obama offered his consolation.
"You must know that whatever measure of comfort we can provide, we will provide. Whatever portion of sadness we can share with you to ease this heavy load, we will bear it. Newtown, you are not alone," he told the town of 30,000. The country, he added, has been inspired by "stories of strength and resolve and sacrifice"
As he introduced Obama, Malloy said the president had told him that Friday had been the most difficult day of his presidency. Hit hard not only as a leader but as a father, Obama took the lead in writing the speech, with help from speechwriter Cody Keenan, who also assisted with Obama's post-Tucson shooting speech and went to high school in Connecticut.
Before the 90-minute program started, families streamed into the auditorium of Newtown High School, just a mile and a half from the site of the massacre. Adults – many wearing ribbons in the green and white school colors pinned to their lapels — greeted each other with hugs. Many children clutched floppy-eared brown plush dogs that the local Red Cross was distributing outside.

Unfortunately the tradition and passion for collecting koi is not being passed on so much to the new generation of Japanese. Yet Asian customers as a whole are spending the largest amounts of money for this status symbol worldwide. They appreciate these magnificent animals which are more than just fish for them. These pieces of jewellery symbolise power, strength and prosperity in their garden ponds!

What they need: A striker to fill the void that was left by Robin van Persie remains the priority but Arsenal are monitoring various goalkeeping options and may also recruit an extra holding midfielder.
What they will get: Likely to sign a striker permanently and bring back Thierry Henry on loan. With Klaas-Jan Huntelaar agreeing a new contract at Schalke, attention will turn to Demba Ba, David Villa, Nani, Adrian Lopez or Fernando Llorente (pictured)
Wenger's track record in January: To the frustration of some fans, has only rarely used the January transfer window. Brought in Sol Campbell on a free transfer in 2010 and made Andrei Arshavin his record signing in 2009.
Estimated budget: £40million.
Who they bought last January: Thomas Eisfeld (£420,000), Thierry Henry (loan)

Radiant Heart Breathwork
WHEN: Friday, January 8th from 7:30-9:30pm
WHERE: Maha Rose 97 Green St. BK
COST: $40 pre-register/$45 day of
We meet just before the very first New Moon of the New Year to chose our tone and direction for 2016. What do you want more than anything? Where can you take a risk to receive it? The first thing we must do before we set intention is clear out anything that would block the success of our intentions. This is a potent time of year to dream big, decide where to aim your arrow, and let the breath do the rest!
The breath is a high form of technology for self-healing. The breath can help you to stay grounded, stay in your heart and stay present. Breathwork is part catharsis, part socially sanctioned adult temper tantrum, part community building and part psychedelic experience.
Breathwork is an active meditation technique that uses the breath to purge the body of emotional gunk. You breathe with an open mouth into the belly to stir the second chakra, oxygenate and breath new life force into old stories and limiting beliefs. You draw the breath up to the heart to purify and wash these emotions with love. You breathe out of the mouth to release. The experience moves stuck emotional energy and facilitates release of strong emotions like anger and grief. It leaves you feeling softer, open and less burdened.
We'll start with a sacred circle, sharing with our community about what is coming up for us, and then move to the breathing! I will apply essential oils to get your energy centers spinning, burn holy wood and sage to transform your emotional release, coach you through the experience with love…all set to a cosmic soundtrack.
You will leave lighter and brighter and it just might change your life.
Please make sure to be on time as the doors will be locked at 7:40 to preserve the sanctity of the circle. Feel free to bring an eye pillow if you like.
$40 advance | $45 day of

In an ideal world, an iPhone wouldn't need a case.
The thin metal design of the iPhone 5 is fantastic, making it a better phone than its rivals. When an iPhone is put in a case it becomes a thicker, plastic phone.
Unfortunately, we don't live in an ideal world. In this world, the iPhone is easily broken, especially if you're clumsy.
Rather than worrying about dropping a phone and breaking it, the easiest solution is to just slap a case on it.
But which case is best?
We've been doing extensive testing of iPhone 5 cases for the past month. We each have our own favorite case for our own reasons, which are at the bottom of the post. Before we get to that, we should give an overview on the market for cases.
Basically, cases come down to four styles.
The Snap-On Case
This case snaps on to your phone, only adding a little bit of extra bulk to the phone. It also generally offers unfettered access to the buttons of the iPhone. However, there's a slight annoyance with the snap cases. The thick plastic makes it hard to press the iPhone's buttons. If you want to hit the power button, you're almost blocked by the hard plastic on the top of the case. You have to angle your finger to press the button.
The Slide-On Case
You slide your phone into this case and it envelops the entire thing. It's very protective, and it's probably the most popular type of iPhone case. The downside to this case is that it makes the phone bulky.
The Mega-Protective Case
This would be the Otter-Box, which takes an iPhone and makes it three times as thick as it is naked. It also adds a plastic screen protector by default. If you love your iPhone so much you want it to die, then this is the case for you. You're killing the iPhone by burying it in this case, but you're going to keep it in pristine condition.
The Bumper
This is the exact opposite of a mega-protective case. It's just a thin piece of plastic and rubber wrapped around the edge of the phone. Surprisingly, it can protect your phone if you drop it. The upside to the bumper is that you still get to hold your phone and feel its metal back. It also keeps the phone's profile relatively thin.
Which Case Is The Best For Me?
You have to ask yourself what you're looking for. Do you want to keep the phone thin? Do you want to have the phone protected at all costs? Are you looking for a funky design? Are you looking for a good feeling when you're holding the phone?
Which Is The Best In Our Opinion?
Jay: I recently dropped my iPhone riding my bike. After that, I decided it was time to start using a case. I've run through a bunch of options and I like the bumper the best. I know it's very thin on protection, but it's the lightest, most comfortable to use.
Kevin: I rarely drop my phone, but because it's always in my pocket I don't want the screen or back getting scratched. I use a anti-glare screen protector and the Cygnett Carbon Fiber Urban Shield. This is the best solution for me in terms of style and protection.
While the Urban Shield is my primary, I don't always use the same case. When it's raining or I'm worried about my phone going into the elements I use the LifeProof. It offers the most protection (from water, dust, snow, and shock) while adding the least bulk.

Russell Eden
Russell Eden
In January 2007, Russell Eden formed a new cycling club with a difference, "Stourbug" (Stourbridge Bicycle Users Group). Fed up with listening to his sister complain she could not lose weight, he formed the idea of challenging ladies to cycle from Stourbridge to Stratford‑upon‑Avon, 45 miles. Following an article in the local paper from which 10 replies were expected, 70 women answered his calling! 50 actually started training with Russell, who gave up every Saturday morning & lots of time at home organising. Many of these ladies had no previous experience.
On 12th May 2007, 33 people rode to Stratford and had the time of their lives! The group was ranged in age from 31‑63 and were split into small groups depending on ability. After the Stratford challenge, the club has continued to grow under Russell's chairmanship and now has many more members, including men! This year Russell is organising the second Stratford challenge and last years members are helping to train the new intake.

Longtime scorekeepers keeping the flame alive
Scorecards are like snowflakes.
No two are the same.
Scorecards are like snowflakes.
No two are the same.
When recording a strikeout, some people will chart "K," while others will pencil in an "SO." Same goes with "BB" and "W" for walks. Some track pitch counts, some record where a ball landed, some use different colors to delineate certain actions. Some tally strikeouts and innings pitched, others putouts and assists.
"One of the great things about scorekeeping is that no two people do it the same way. I'm still working to develop my own method, and that is a big part of what makes it fun," said Chris Hendrixson, 30, a relative newcomer to the scorekeeping world. "Scorekeeping is a beautiful shorthand language that tells the story of a baseball game. How you want to tell that story is up to you."
Keeping score is perhaps the best way to immerse yourself in a baseball game. You discover trends in teams and players, learn basic game strategy and gain a deeper appreciation for the game itself. And you've got a tangible record to prove it.
The game Othello bills itself as only taking "a minute to learn, a lifetime to master." Scoring a baseball game's the same way. Maybe that's why people take it up.
"I found myself watching the game differently [when I kept score], longing to draw a forward-facing K when the opposing team is batting and finding great delight in marking a hit, or especially a home run, when a Reds player is up," Hendrixson said. "Scorekeeping is also a great way to learn more about the game of baseball. A lot of people think baseball is slow or boring, but there is actually a lot of complexity to it. Just like most things in life, baseball is a game that you start to really love and appreciate the more you learn about it."
Mark Newsom has been a disciple of the art of scorekeeping from a young age.
"[Keeping score] definitely keeps you better in tune with what is going on in the game. If you are just watching without keeping score, I think you miss out on a lot of the strategy that is being used," Newsom said.
"[One] thing I love about scoring is when fans are lost or confused on calls made or a play they missed, I can just turn around and tell them what happened. It may not seem like much, but it's the best feeling in the world when I can share my baseball knowledge with others," added Maggie Hoffecker, 16.
Danielle Thomas is "the kind of fan who thinks watching every single pitch is enjoyable, so keeping score feels like a natural extension of that.
"I keep all of my Reds scorecards because I love having a tangible keepsake of the game that is more meaningful than a ticket stub, especially because I don't get to attend many Reds games in person," Thomas said. "I always write extra little details in the card's notes section -- about where I sat, who I went with, how many turned out for the 'titanic struggle,' and anything unique or interesting from the game. It's fun to look back at old cards for those little details I'd forgotten."
Reds fans can follow assistant director of media relations Jamie Ramsey as he tweets his scorebook in-game once a homestand (@Jamieblog).
But ask anyone who's been around the game long enough about the state of the scorekeeping tradition, and you'll likely receive some variant of the words "lost" or "dying art."
"It harkens back to a different time in baseball," explains Jason Harbison, an anchor for ESPN 1450's Redlegs Radio Report.
Hendrixson calls scorekeeping "a wonderful tradition that has been around since the late 19th century." He adds: "By participating in this traditional act, you feel a small connection with the many generations of baseball fans that have come before us, and that is a really beautiful thing."
But while the scorekeeping following may be dwindling among fans, it is alive and well in Major League Baseball -- as it must and always will be. Statistics are more essential to the history and vitality of baseball than for any other sport, and the official scorers are the gatekeepers of the league's statistics through their scorekeeping.
At Great American Ball Park, those gatekeepers are two men: Ron Roth and Mike Cameron. Roth's days as an official scorekeeper date back to 1980.
"The sportswriters were doing all of the official scoring at the time," Roth said. "Then they notified Major League Baseball that they were no longer going to furnish people to score, because it was really a conflict between the writers and the players. They sit up here [in the press box] in judgment on hits and errors, and then they would go down into the clubhouse after the game, trying to get an interview with the players. The players would be upset because the writers ruled on a hit or an error."
So it was that MLB started to employ its own scorers. The rest is history for Roth. And Cameron became his teammate in the scorer's room when legendary Reds scorekeeper Glenn Sample died in 2008.
The two rotate the responsibility of being the official scorer for the day's game. The other is there to back the other up with his record. Each spreads out a 12-inch-by-19-inch scorecard in front of him, armed with an array of colored pens and highlighters, at the start of each game. Theirs are the most meticulously kept scorecards of anyone's.
At the end of the day, they'll check their numbers against one another's and fax in a final Elias Sports Bureau score sheet for each team to MLB headquarters in New York City.
Roth and Cameron face a fair amount of scrutiny.
"There is pressure because a lot of people are awaiting our decisions, from the scoreboard operator to the media to the TV and radio people," Cameron said. "We want to make the right decision, but to do it in a timely manner. But I always go back to something Ron told me: We always want to get it right, and if we have to change our decisions later on -- which we have -- that's OK."
"The integrity of the game and the statistics come from us," Roth said. "We don't affect the outcome of the game, but we do affect the statistics of the game, and that goes along with the integrity of the game. And that's what we have to get right."
Meggie Zahneis, winner of the 2011 Breaking Barriers essay contest, earned the job of youth correspondent for MLB.com in the fall of '11.

Now this is pretty darn cool. For a small truck. Bet it puts all those other mini crawlers to shame!
Slash 4X4 PLATINUM EDITION, Revo 3.3 Crawler
crawl rocks at 40 miles per hour...
don't know why i thought of that, really
if the body shell is durable, i'll have it for my merv, get rid of the rear wing and stuff. looks tougher, thanks to the exoskeleton.
... oh, and sorry about your wallet
i don't think it will touch the mini crawlers. as they are made for that. and this is not.
but i will be getting one for the garden and gearing it low.
You're saying this based on....what?Originally Posted by Mr. eXtreme
Even other mini crawlers have locking differentials. This stripped-down mini Summit has open diffs. It's a MERV. Would a MERV put other mini crawlers to shame?
That is true. The Summit isn't and never will be a true crawler, but the lockers at least made it capable of doing some crawling. This mini with open diffs is anything but a crawl-capable truck.Originally Posted by turok

just thought i'd point out, nowhere i can see on traxxas's site does it claim the 1/16 car is a crawler. as far as the site goes, it's a monster truck. whereas the full size one is an extreme terrain monster truck.
... oh, and sorry about your wallet
This thing is not made for crawling. traxxas knows how to make a crawler, if they wanted to they could have done the same to the mimi summit. i think its a awesome 1/16 monster truck, and will be great for offroad bashing, but thats just my opinion
brushless and nitro. Now your talkin'!
totaly agree, the truck isnt even out yet, nobody has it, and all people can do around here is bash on it.Originally Posted by Dadx2mj
if you have nothing good to say, dont say it atall.
Lead, follow, or get out of my way!
Count me in for 1!!!!!!
does it matter if it was MADE to crawl? you know, many things can and do what they are not designed to do. For instance: i race my rusty...and i win. and no, it is not highly modified, and does not have a very fast motor (stock), well, compared to others. Just lots of rpm, proline tires, and an integy chassis (for stiffness, and it looks awesome). this hobby is about being creative, and trying new ideas. And, imo, a full blown crawler is not nearly as fun as this little truck will be. Nice job, TRAXXAS
and i win win with my rusty(it is so much more fun to beat someone with a rusty than a t4...oh the shame they must feel )
I'm buying this truck bc it dosn't have lockers yet, traxxas is giving us a chance to do some real modifing here! heck they even gave us a spare place to put another servo already, my truck will defenatly have lockers
anything can be fixed with duct tape and zip ties
HMMMMMMMMMOriginally Posted by the rc joe

I think Traxxas knows real crawlers are made, not purchased(I know the xr10 is close, but how many of those will even stay stock?). Traxxas sticks with RTR's that will sell because they are fun to play with, tough, waterproof and just like most other RC's can be modified into anything you want them to be. IMO 90% of the peeps like to go fast not slow. Crawlers are awesome I love crawling myself but it takes patience, a lot of patience.Originally Posted by newb
If the LT suspension works the way I am hoping it will, I fully intend to make my MERV it a sensored/BL 1.9 or 2.2 crawler
What I'm getting at is even the mini trucks built for crawling suck...
Allot of it has to do with how small they are... That and they fall apart.
I used to be in to crawling so been there done that.
I'm saying even though this may not be a "crawler" it's probably better then the other ones out there made for that. It's traxxas... Nuff said.
Slash 4X4 PLATINUM EDITION, Revo 3.3 Crawler
The 1/16 Summit is a fast, fun truck that looks like the big Summit. It's not meant to be a dedicated crawler, and we don't talk about it that way in ads or on its web pages. Now, that doesn't mean you can do things to make it more crawler-y, and get your hobby on.
One cool trick you may not know about is swapping gears in the trans to go from a 2.5:1 ratio to a 5:1 ratio, like so:
This will make the truck slower (or more accurately, less fast), but you'll have more torque. Gearing 101, right?
Yeah, WHAT HE SAID!!! Now can all of the bashing stop, if you dont like it dont buy it!!!Originally Posted by PeterV
Bashing? I thought this was simply an information debate. We all love traxxas here and the mini summit is traxxas to the bone. Traxxas just is not in the dedicated crawler market and I believe we have all stated the same thing, just in different wordingOriginally Posted by cch1978

I don't care if this is built for crawling or not... It's Traxxas!
I've had other brands... But have been the most happy with any Traxxas I've owned...
My Electric 4Tec, My Revo 2.5 my Revo 3.3 my Slash 4x4, my Rustler VXL...
ALL AWESOME!! Brand X one of them was a Nitro and literaly went up in Flames... The others just not so fun IMO or as easy to work on...
Even though I only have the Revo 3.3 and the Slash 4x4 left...
I only got rid of the other ones because I only have two hands...
And can only drive one at a time.

Why are so many of your posts so negative?Originally Posted by Jay 313
im getting one and stop your dang ranting, gt nothing nice to say then say nothing at all.
im not ranting, just stating the obvious. i like traxxas and there way of thinking out of the box and constantly building new designs. if they built a crawler i would most likely look at buying it. i am going to transform the 2nd merv into somewhat of a summit as soon as the parts are available.
I'm on the fence on this one. If it comes with the 550 I'm buying a pair of them for me and the kid. If they are only offered with the brushless system I'll most likely pass.
Great looking truck and I actually like the fact that they left the 2 speed and the locker off.

Reba Collins 6/30/52 - 3/1/10 1:13pm
the way some people are talking. they are on both sides of the fence and sitting on it at the same time. lol
Guys dont be suprised if you see traxxas come out with locking diffs as an upgrade. Dont forget traxxas is in this to make money. I bet some one will come out with locking diffs for this, just my opinion.
not me. i'm just wondering how many "new" vehicles they will come out with on the exact same platform? i suppose it does have it's place seeing as how you can now go from a mini slash to mini rally car to mini summit to a mini revo all on the same vehicle. and i guess thats pretty cool, especially for those of us on a budget.
personally, i would like to see something that is genuinely new, not just a different version of what we already have available. but that's just me.
See post 8 of this thread: http://monster.traxxas.com/showthrea...71#post4619271. I don't begrudge you or anyone for wishing something was all-new because it's fun to see all-new stuff, but all-new doesn't necessarily mean "better." I would argue that Traxxas is the most adventurous manufacturer when it comes to innovating new stuff, but we're also smart about using the strengths of existing platforms to build new variations. --Pete

W Magazine 40th Anniversary Covers
Scarlett and Keira Take a Trip Through Time For W's 40th Anniversary
Scarlett and Keira Take a Trip Through Time For W's 40th Anniversary
Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley, Mia Wasikowska, and Rooney Mara all have the honor of fronting a different cover for W magazine's 40th anniversary edition. Scarlett's repping the '90s, Mia went '80s, Rooney had '70s style, and Keira was modern with a 2000s vibe — see more photos of the actresses in the W anniversary edition. Keira, Scarlett, Rooney, and Mia also did interviews with the publication to chat about style and famous ladies from their assigned decades. Here are highlights from Keira, Rooney, Mia, and Scarlett in W:
- Keira on what she's hated style-wise in the last decade: "I think skinny jeans and micro-miniskirts are very unfriendly. I've been known to wear both, but on some days it seems like they were invented to make you feel bad about yourself."
- Rooney on an interesting '70s celebrity: "Style-wise, the person I'm most drawn to is Ali MacGraw. There was something about her that was very regal but very natural at the same time. We kind of modeled my character in The Social Network after her: I had a crocheted beret that was inspired by the one she wore in Love Story."
- Scarlett on an unfortunate '90s trend: "Turtlenecks — they're horrible. I tried to get into them because they are so practical, but they're just so unfortunate. Men don't like turtlenecks. I've never met a man who likes anything around his neck other than my hands."

Are the Dogs of the Dow Getting Revenge? Part 2
There are countless strategies to employ when investing in stocks. One of the easiest and most well-known strategies is called the Dogs of the Dow. The strategy requires investors to buy an equal amount of the ten highest yielding stocks found in the Dow Jones Industrial Average at the beginning of the year. The ten stocks are then replaced at the beginning of the next year with the new highest yielding stocks in the Dow.
It can be difficult for some investors to stomach this strategy, because investors are only paying attention to dividend yields, as opposed to many other fundamental factors. This strategy paid off well in 2011, but not so well in 2012, as the dogs lost their bite and fell behind the broad index.
Investors employing the dog strategy for 2012 missed large gains in blue-chips such as Home Depot (NYSE:HD) and Disney (NYSE:DIS), but also avoided the biggest losers such as Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) and McDonald's (NYSE:MCD). Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), the biggest blue-chip loser in 2011, turned out to be the best performing Dow member with its share price more than doubling in only one year.
The current Dogs of the Dow are up an average of about 3.2 percent year-to-date, compared to a 2.1 percent increase in the overall Dow. Here's a look at the individual dogs for 2013 with the lowest yields and their current performance for the year…

Everyone knows what a male Mallard looks like. The drake of this extremely common, sexually dimorphic species (Anas platyrhynchos) cuts a fine form with his iridescent emerald dome and chestnut breast. A female mallard possesses plumage as dull as her partner's is bold, a frock of forgettable grays, browns, and blacks. Yet you would be wise to take a second look at that mallard hen. Check out this bird:
Now look at this one:
And finally, this one:
Which of these birds, if any, are Mallards? Answers will be forthcoming, but for now, I can tell you that they are all members of the mallard complex, a roster of about 20 closely-related Anas-species ducks around the world.
The mallard is a mighty duck indeed, successful all across its broad range from the Americas through Eurasia down into Australia and New Zealand. Not only are most domesticated duck breeds descended from A. platyrhynchos, but many distinct populations of wild ducks have sprung from the productive loins of this dynamic dabbler. Most of these species are monomorphic and more closely resemble the mallard hen. If you had trouble separating the American Black Duck (A. rubripes), Mallard, and Mottled Duck (A. fulvigula) in the photos above (in that order), you're hardly alone. The ducks themselves seem to have the same difficulty, as these three species interbreed freely. Such hybridization threatens to undermine A. rubripes and fulvigula as separate species, just as the Mexican Duck (A. diazi) was compromised into mere mallard race status. The Hawaiian Duck (A. wyvilliana) and Laysan Duck (A. laysanensis) also balance on that fine line between species and subspecies.
Also not (yet) a Mallard, but rather a Pacific Black Duck (c) Bronwen Scott
The genus Anas, dabblers all, includes wigeons, shovelers, teals, and pintails as well as mallards. It's difficult to say which birds on this list are part of the mallard complex, but many of them, especially the females of the species, show superficial or structural mallard traits.
Here's a bonus piece of mallard complex trivia: If the extinct Mariana Mallard (A. oustaleti) is ever granted posthumous species status, it will represent one of the most short-lived vertebrate species known to science, with a lifespan measured only in tens of thousands of years from the first rendezvous between Mallard and Pacific Black Duck (A. superciliosa rogersi) to the death of the last individual in 1981.
Members of the mallard complex, whether purebred or hybrid, wild or manky, exemplify how blisteringly successful generalist genera can be in a rapidly changing world. Plus, they are super cute when they're young…
(This post was first published in February 2011, but the might of the Mallard continues unabated and deserves further attention!)
I was hoping to find out what the capacity of the Mallards night vision is?
This morning my family and I found a dead female Mallard on our front lawn. We're trying to find out, as best we can, what caused her demise.
We're going through several possibilities. Right now, maybe she hit our house, breaking her neck.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!!
i have mallards in a large 60 sq meters aviary.been breeding them for ten years now. during this time i have seen many baby ducks probably thousants. i consider them very smart birds and they r able to lern. they r exelent mothers and will charge anything to protecttheir babies even me. they r extremely hard under harsh weather conditions and during blizards and heavy wind and snow they never hide from the cold but instead they sit in the open facing the direction of the wind sometimes been covered with snow but they dont seem to mind. the male mallards are very beautifull and proud and they seem to know it and show off a bit.i like the mallards so much that i cant imagine my garden without them around
I have several photos of a Duck to identify from my cottage lake in Ontario. It looks like a pair of Mexican race Mallards. Can you help me identify? If yes, how can I send them to you. Thanks.
I have seen a lot of baby mallards. How can you tell ifone of the babies is going to be male or female? They all seem to be mostly brown in color.
Mallard duck question –
We live in central Florida next to a 1 acre pond. This spring there have been two separate sets of baby ducks that have disappeared. The first of 11 and the last group of 6 were only around for 2 days or so. There is also a pair of babyless mallards on the pond. On each occasion the babyless mallards (believed to be an immature male and female) harrased the mother with babies. We feel that the babies were killed by these two babyless ducks.
Question: Are mallards so territorial that this behavior is possible?
Mike in CFL
We take care of a female mallard who has been living on our salt water canal for more than 7 years. I feed her cracked corn from a bowl (to keep the other birds away from it) which she loves. She likes to have a sip of water with each mouthful of corn.
She was hurt and abandoned many years ago. A few years ago she was no longer able to get on the dock alone and we thought she would die because she had no fresh water but we built her a platform so that when the tide is high she can hop on and come onto the lawn for water & a nap and of course food. She's had a rough life not being with other ducks but at least she has us!
The second one looks like a Pacific black duck to me. But I am often wrong about bird IDs!
*shakes fist at mallard*
we had 2 mallard walk up our lawn and they were very Friendly. She made a nest next to the lake. Every day they walk up our huge hill and want something to eat. I fee them a mixture of fish pellets and mixed bird seed and they love it. I know can pet the femail who has 5 eggs on her nest. Now she is sitting on the nest all day and night. I have been bring her water and food and she gives me a soft akakak sound. When the babies hatch will she be protective of me near them? she lets me pet her and I try to use some of the duck sounds and they both quack back to mel Is it true that the male will leave the femle after the ducks. Dont they mate for life? I am so enjoying them, will they stay in our area.
( ')>
Clearly I'm not the only one who appreciates Mallards! A few days ago I went to the Skagit, an area famous in Washington State for winter birds. I loved seeing 10,000 Snow Geese, 1,400 Trumpeter Swans, etc. But the Mallards were also stunning, thousands and thousands of them roaming and foraging in the frozen fields.

Man Rescued After Getting Lost in Rock Bridge State Park
Related Story
COLUMBIA - Tim Clouse was walking his dog, Halen, in Rock Bridge Memorial State Park Friday afternoon when he got lost without a cell phone or a coat.
"I was pretty scared. I wasn't sure what my wife was thinking and if I was going to get back or not. It was pitch black. I ended up just walking in circles," he said.
Clouse's wife was waiting for him in the car in the parking lot outside of Devil's Ice Box. She called the police after Clouse was missing for nearly three hours. With temperatures quickly dropping and the sun setting, his wife began to think the worst.
"He's got a few medical issues that we were worried about," said Corporal Scott Ballard with the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
A search team consisting of more than 20 people from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Boone County Fire Department, Boone County Sheriff's Department and Rock Bridge Park rangers were on the scene searching through the woods for Clouse. Around 6:30 p.m. a search helicopter from University Hospital arrived to help with efforts. Clouse was found around 7 p.m.
"First I had to climb over a barbed wire fence, so I housed her (the dog) over it, she was kind of freaked out. Then there was a place in the barbed wire I could bend down so I jumped about five feet," Clouse said.
After walking thorough a field, Clouse found a house and called for help. That's when an ambulance arrived and discovered Clouse and his dog.
Both Clouse and Halen were unharmed after the ordeal, and after a little water the dog was in good spirits, wagging her tail and enjoying attention from family.
"My wife is really happy, I was worried about her a lot," Clouse said.
Clouse said, other than a couple scratches from the trees, he's feeling really good.

Poet Roger McGough has written a series of verse stories that will appear on plates.
A quarter of a million plates will be given away for free through Sainsbury's and Morrisons stores over the next three months.
McGough, 75, rose to prominence in the late Sixties when his poems were included in a bestselling Penguin anthology, The Mersey Sound, and he has since published more than 50 poetry anthologies.
He told the Telegraph: "The idea of getting children to enjoy poetry and funny words at mealtimes really appealed to me. I hope it will take some of the stress out of meal times for children. It also really got me going to take poetry into different places and not just the classroom. Poetry has not been used enough and it's a great leveller. This will hopefully reach some families who think poetry is not for them. Reading for fun is so important and it's lovely for children to enjoy the expectancy of rhyme and words that are memorable, funny and valid. It will also hopefully encourage conversation about words rather than children playing computer games while they eat. Meal times needn't be fractious, nor poetry boring."
Roger McGough story on a plate PHOTO: Birds Eye
McGough's story-poems will follow the adventures of Birds Eye mascot Clarence the Polar Bear but the former teacher says there was no commercial pressure about what he actually wrote. The promotion, aimed at teatime stories for three to 10-year-olds, follows a survey in which 29 per cent of parents said their child will only eat off their favourite plate, and that 75 per cent of kids lose interest during teatime.
The plates were illustrated by Andy Ellis, who also helped to create the animated series of The Wombles, and an example of one of McGough's seven "stories on a plate" is the verse:
In Paris, hot croissants, Clarence ate every crumb,
In Berlin the wurst was yet to come,
German sausages cooked on the grill,
Clarence, to his shame, ate more than his fill.
McGough, who famously helped write The Beatles' hit movie Yellow Submarine, also has a new book of adult verse out in paperback called As Far As I Know. The stories on a plate will be available from September 4.

Jason T.2015-10-22
★★★★★ - "Everyone was nice and arrived in a timely manner. I signed up for a one time deep cleaning. While the house smelled good and overall looked clean I didn't find it deep seemed more surface, blinds dusty and a few obvious things were missed such as Mirror in master and multiple ceiling fans, lower set of cabinets in kitchen. I texted mentioning the missed items and with no response. I asked him for a receipt and he said he'd email me one, if I texted him my email address. So upon sending the 2nd text still no response. My impression is that I got less attention and care because I was a one time cleaning.. (of course I would have continued using them for the occasional deep cleanings, but won't now based on lack of response and remediating mistakes)."

Our Catholic faith is apparent every day at Sandusky Central Catholic School. Beginning in Preschool, our students live out the mission of SCCS by Strengthening the body, Challenging the mind and Enriching the spirit.
Through daily community-wide prayer, special liturgical events, an intensive retreat program beginning in first grade and interpersonal connections, we follow the call of Christ to be a light to the world.
Daily Prayer
Every school day begins and ends with daily prayer. These prayers are traditional prayers of the Roman Catholic Church, including the Angelus, Morning Offering, Prayer of Saint Michael and the Memorare . Students are often selected to read afternoon reflections to encourage students and staff to pause half way through the day to reflect and participate in a self-examination.
Weekly Mass
Every week students and staff attend Mass at one of our Sandusky parishes. All faculty, staff, parents and friends are invited to attend our weekly Masses. Masses are planned by teachers and students, and students serve as Altar Servers, Lectors, Music Ministers, Mass Coordinators, and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion.
Weekly Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
We are so blessed to have a chapel in our school—the All Saints Chapel—to which all students and staff have regular access. Every week on our "Mass Day" the Blessed Sacrament is exposed from 9:00am-2:30pm. Our teachers regularly take their classes to allow them to be in the presence of our Lord—His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Our junior high and high school students regularly take time from their lunch period to sit in His presence.
Students in grades 1-12 have the opportunity to experience retreats, a time away from regular classroom work to pray together, play together, and deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ on a level appropriate for their age. Beginning in junior high, retreats take place away from school. The retreat experience at SCCS culminates with the Senior Kairos retreat. Kairos is an amazing event that takes place over several days and helps set the stage for the seniors' final year.
Advent and Lenten Reconciliation is offered to all students grades 3-12 as well as faculty and staff. Weekly Reconciliation is available to all students grades 6-12 a half-hour before the School Mass
For more information about Sandusky Central Catholic's Campus Ministry or for volunteer opportunities, please contact Director of Campus Ministry, Mrs. Brittany Sternberg at 419-626-1892 ext. 232.

Fantastic Fest Day 4
It's sweltering. Normally, I would go see a movie and escape the heat--but halfway through a film festival, I need to escape the theater.
Fortunately, the HighBall bar across the parking lot hosts the Fantastic Arcade, a sidebar event showcasing independent video games. When I get inside, there's a string quartet playing stirring soundtrack selections to a demo of D-Pad Studio's upcoming Owlboy.
You can play the games on old-school arcade cabinets, which is cool; but I'm drawn to something very different, called Deep Sea. I'm drawn to it because I can't see the game at all.
I arrive in time to nab the final play. Robin Arnott, the game's designer, wipes the mask down with antibacterial towelettes and fits it snugly onto my head. There are no eyeholes, just black cloth. Then he puts noise-canceling earphones on me. I'm ready to submerge.
The mask is outfitted with surround sound and monitors my breathing. I hear a sonar ping, try to orient myself and shoot in the direction of the sound. This will unleash a series of deepwater monsters; I'm to listen for their roars, toggle the joystick in the creatures' direction and kill them.
Whenever I make a noise, I attract more monsters. Each exhalation creates a stream of bubbles that overwhelms all other sounds. It's like breathing through a Jacuzzi air hole (although I enjoy that).
People react very differently to sensory deprivation. Some misfire and blame the game's design; others navigate the world with a Zen-like quality and develop unique tactics to help them reach the final level; others panic.
I've got one finger on the trigger and another hooked beneath the mask, ready to rip if from my face as my hopeless attempts begin to sink me. I try to breathe slowly. I end up breathing heavily. This is Arnott's intention: "Survival … require[s] the player to focus intently to the point of suppressing their own breathing, further reinforcing the sensation of claustrophobic isolation."
The mask sucks closer to my face with each intake. Any attempt to hold my breath only makes the sensation worse. The mask's material is making me sweat and I can't make out any of the AI. I am totally disoriented.
Then the blackness becomes a new entity--a palpable presence; deep, serene, multi-hued blackness.
Yes! I think. I've reached my Zen point.
But I'm not actually playing the game anymore, so I yank off the mask and abort my mission.
Breaking the surface, I am happy to see a bucket of Shiner beer tokens and a Starcade competition underway with arcade favorites Mr. Do and Tapper.
That's a better way to beat the heat. I'll put on a cowboy hat and storm the bar. Tap, sling, chug, sling ...

Last night in London
Rihanna flew back to London to join Drake for his final shows before tour break. She was in the audience at the concert on Tuesday night and then they hit up a club called Tramp. They left together, but not together, so as to avoid being photographed in the same frame. OK. I get it. You want to make us wait for it, right? Fine. I will wait.
Until tonight?
Tonight is his last show there. It would be a good time to get up on stage again. I feel like that's how they "confirmed" that they're doing this now. In Paris. And after they gave me a taste of that, I need more. Then, maybe, they can come home to Toronto again for the Raptors game on Friday?
Sorry. I'm totally trying to script this relationship. And that's when the trouble comes. Duana tells me all the time. "Give them what they need, not what they want." I want this too much for it to be what I need.

I love the 24 Hours of Le Mans because unlike other racing series, the cars are all different. Sports cars run with prototypes and everybody has something unique to bring to the table. And sometimes, it's where automakers show off their weirdest cars.
That's our question of the day: What's the weirdest Le Mans racer of all time?
In recent years I have to say the award goes to the DeltaWing, the radically-shaped race car first run by Nissan in 2012. It's a real shame what happened to it there. Sadly, while the DeltaWing runs in other series these days, it hasn't been back to Le Mans since its debut. I hope we see it again someday.
Your turn, what's the weirdest Le Mans car ever? You have more than 80 years of history to draw from!

Usually when my Dad and I went up, we would just look for the guys walking around holding their tickets in the air (they're different from the scalpers). Those guys might be rarer this season because of all the scandal crap that happened (lighter attendance), and they might be even rarer for a big game like Ohio State, but I still think you might find some.
No matter what, I bet you could find some tickets out there for the game.

Who would have thought six weeks ago that this might be a good game with both teams on winning streaks. Even Lou Holts after predicting Penn State might not win a Big Ten game is now saying that it could be that the best two teams in the conference are not eligeble to win the Big Ten championship.

The $eyes are coming off an OT win against Purdue and a 3 point win over Indiana so I think they're definitely beatable. PSU is playing some good football right now. The only thing that scares me is they haven't faced a running QB like Miller.
Stimulate the economy- buy made in the USA.
