The Story: Bluewater Granfondo
It was December 2015, on a cold brisk morning, when a few cyclists gathered at a local cafe that the Bluewater International Granfondo (BIG) was born. The goals were simple. Within four years, BIG has had an impact far greater than anyone could have imagined.
Rail Trails In Kawartha Lakes
The City of Kawartha Lakes, which incorporates Lindsay and the surrounding area, sits at the cross-roads of two major rail trails in Ontario. Travelling east to west across the entire region, the Great Trail, known locally as the Kawartha Trans Canada Trail intersects the Victoria Rail Trail, which runs north to south and offers plenty of trail riding for those looking to take bike trips in the heart of Ontario's cottage country.

History of the collection: Portable Antiquities & Treasure
The Department of Portable Antiquities & Treasure was established in April 2006, when the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) secured full funding from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) until March 2008.
The scheme aims to advance knowledge of the history and archaeology of England and Wales by systematically recording archaeological objects found by the public on its website www.finds.org.uk. It seeks to raise public awareness of the educational value of studying archaeological finds in their context, as well as increasing opportunities for public involvement in archaeology. It also works to strengthen links between metal-detector users and archaeologists.
The 1996 Treasure Act, which replaced the medieval law of Treasure Trove in England and Wales, was designed to encourage reporting of archeological finds. However, a great many objects found by members of the public were not 'treasure', but were still important in building up knowledge of the archaeology and history of England and Wales.
In the past, finds such as these were, in some cases, taken to local museums to record. However, many more finds were unrecorded as there were not always systems in place to record them.
In March 1996, during the run-up to the passing of the new Treasure Act, the Department of National Heritage (LDNH, now the DCMS) published Portable Antiquities. A discussion document, which contained proposals for both voluntary and compulsory schemes for reporting and recording non-treasure finds. A variety of interested parties were consulted, including professional archaeologists and metal detectorists.
The general response was that recording all archaeological finds is important and a consistent voluntary scheme should be established.
The DNH provided funding for a two-year pilot, starting in September 1997. Host organisations were chosen in Kent, Norfolk, the West Midlands, North Lincolnshire, the North West and Yorkshire. A Finds Liaison Officer (FLO) was put in each pilot scheme and the six schemes were co-ordinated from the DNH, the funding being channelled through the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA).
The FLO's job was to provide a point of contact for finders; to record and provide further information on the finds and their history and, providing they did not qualify as Treasure, return them to the finder. They were also there to advise finders on archaeological issues and the legislation governing the search for, and discovery of archaeological artefacts.
Finds were recorded onto a program that was devised for the purpose. In July 1999 this was published onto an online database. Over 13,500 objects were recorded in the first year.
At the end of 1998 the first six posts were joined by a further five funded by the HLF in Dorset and Somerset, Northamptonshire, Suffolk, Hampshire and Wales, while an Outreach Officer was also appointed at the British Museum.
In April 2002, the HLF decided to support the bid to establish a comprehensive national scheme covering the whole of England and Wales for three years starting in April 2003, bringing about the scheme as we know it today. The scheme now consists of 47 posts, co-ordinated from the British Museum: 36 Finds Liaison Officers based in museums and archaeological services around the country and providing a comprehensive service throughout England and Wales, six specialist Finds Advisers, and a central team of five.
Greater emphasis was placed on the importance of the scheme's educational role and outreach work, developing interest in and knowledge of history and archaeology, and encouraging best practice when dealing with finds.
The focus of the PAS is on the recording of finds, rather than their acquisition by museums, although some important objects recorded by the scheme have found their way into museums.
Among them is the Staffordshire Moorlands Trulla, which was discovered in 2003 by metal detectorists in north Staffordshire, and reported to the PAS. A copper alloy pan with colourful enamel inlay, it has inscriptions detailing forts on Hadrian's Wall. The pan was acquired jointly by the British Museum, the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent and Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery in Carlisle. It has proved to be a hugely valuable find, providing much information about Roman Britain.
The Ringlemere cup was found near Sandwich in Kent in 2001 by a metal detectorist and is a rare example of a Bronze Age ritual object. The British Museum purchased the cup and the proceeds were shared between the landowner and the finder. However, it led to the discovery and professional excavation of the Ringlemere barrow.
A unique collection of Iron Age gold jewellery, known as the Winchester hoard was found in 2000. It is especially interesting as a stylistic representation of the transition between British and Roman authority in the country at that time.
In 2005 a metal detectorist in East Riding found a Roman copper alloy coin die for a denarius of Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor in the first century AD, which had been used to make counterfeit coins. The find was reported to the PAS and later acquired by the Museum.

Oct. 9, 2010
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - Five Gauchos had double-digit kills and setter Dana Vargas set a career-high with 63 assists as the UC Santa Barbara women's volleyball team defeated Cal Poly 25-23, 25-23, 21-25, 22-25, 15-10 on Saturday night at Mott Gym.
The Gauchos were able to withstand a late rally from the Mustangs to win after capturing the first two games of the match and improved to 10-8 overall and 4-1 in Big West play. Cal Poly falls to 14-5, 4-2.
Stacey Schmidt led the Gauchos with 17 kills while Kara Sherrard had 16 kills to go with 14 digs. Charlene DeHoog had 12 kills and 12 digs while middle blockers Kasey Kipp and Lily Lopez each had 11 kills. Vargas' previous assists high came on Nov. 24, 2007 when she had 62 vs. Yale.
After winning the first two sets UCSB found itself needing to win the final fifth set to leave San Luis Obispo with a victory. Trailing 5-2 in the fifth set, DeHoog got a kill but Cal Poly's Jennifer Keddy made it 6-3 with a putaway. Schmidt and Kipp, who combined for 11 assisted blocks between them, had an assisted block to make it 6-4 before Kipp had back-to-back kills to eventually tie things at 7-7.
An ace from DeHoog combined with two Sherrard kills gave the Gauchos an 11-8 lead and a kill each from Sherrard and Schmidt gave UCSB a 14-9 lead. Sherrard's kill finally gave the Gauchos the victory.
Both teams did well on the attack as UCSB hit .337 compared to Cal Poly's .301 percentage. Kelly Heenan, Chelsey Lowe, Sherrard, Vargas and DeHoog each had double-digit digs.
UCSB won the second set thanks to a kill by Kara Sherrard to break a 23-23 tie and then won after a Mustang error. Stacey Schmidt had five kills in the set to lead the Gauchos to the win. UCSB had a 13-9 lead after a Lily Lopez kill but Cal Poly rallied to bring it close to 17-16. The Gauchos did take a 23-19 lead on a block by Schmidt and Kasey Kipp before closing things out.
The Gauchos won the first game behind the strength of Kara Sherrard and Dana Vargas. Sherrard had four kills and assisted on a block while Vargas passed out 11 assists and added a block assist to go with two kills. UCSB trailed 8-4 but rallied due to a pair of Cal Poly errors and eventually tied things on one of the Mustangs 21 hitting errors on the evening.
Santa Barbara took a 22-18 lead on Charlene DeHoog's kill and got the victory point on another error by Cal Poly to close out the first.
The Gauchos return home on Oct. 22 vs. UC Irvine. Tickets are available by calling (805) 893-UCSB or by clicking here.

Tax Time: The Great Security Headache For Australians
Last year, Australians lost more than $2.8 million (AUD) in fake ATO scams
Lucid Hydra is an exciting technology to play around with, and hopefully future updates make it more useful. On the whole, the MSI Big Bang Fuzion is a well-featured motherboard for PC hardware enthusiasts. The inclusion of SLI support, USB 3.0 ports, and SATA 6Gbps ports would have been nice.
The claim to fame of the MSI Big Bang Fuzion is its ability to run graphics cards from opposing camps (NVidia and AMD) in parallel using its "Hydra Engine". Apart from that, it is a nice motherboard targeted at the higher mid-range segment considering all the extras contained within the box. It supports the LGA1156 socket which means all mainstream Intel Core i5/i7 processors.
MSI Big Bang Fuzion: Design and Features
Despite the full-ATX form factor, and a great layout the MSI Big Bang Fuzion board still feels chock-full. This is unlike most full-ATX motherboards, which feel large and spacious, but this is not a negative thing. The Big Bang Fuzion just has so much to offer that it could not have been any other way. The board is coloured black, with dashes of blue seen on certain heatsinks and slots. The thermals are not a problem at all with heatsinks placed in all the right places, and heatpipes connecting them.
The heatsinks bunched around the processor socket may hinder installation of a few high-end after-market coolers though. Components like solid capacitor ferrite core chokes used on the Fuzion are nice for durability (lives longer) and stability (reliability improves with no inexplicable crashes).
As we saw with MSI's P55-GD80 motherboard, there are a number of LED activity indicators. A small LED is located near the processor, to display the number of power phases currently in use, where 8 is the maximum number. MSI offers a so-called "Easy Button 2" touch panel which is useful for enthusiasts who would like to switch their system on/off without having to short pins on the board. This panel is located at the bottom-right, consisting of three electro-magnetic touch-sensitive buttons – green power, reset, and power on/off. It might sound like fantasy and amazingly different from what you're used to, but there is no physical button! Additional buttons on the motherboard are the "Clear CMOS" and "OC Genie" for overclockers.
The storage sub-system is well taken care of by 10 SATA ports that support RAID modes, one PATA (also called IDE) port on the board and 2 eSATA ports at the backpanel. Since the Intel P55 chipset does not natively support SATA 6Gbps and there aren't many hard drives supporting this standard just yet, the absence of next-gen SATA 6Gbps may not be a problem. Four of those SATA ports are provided using two JMicron JMB322 controllers. The 4 dual-channel RAM slots allow for upto 16GB of memory, at speeds of upto 2133 MHz.
The back panel is populated with the following input/output ports – 8 USB, two PS/2, two Gigabit Ethernet (LAN), two eSATA, one FireWire (IEEE1394) port and a connector for plugging in MSI's "OC Dashboard" (more about this later). Headers are present for adding an additional FireWire port, 4 USB ports, and for powering 4 system fans. A separate PCI-Express x1 card is provided for audio. It is not a dedicated sound card though, it is just an application layer add-on.
The motherboard's integrated Realtek 889 chipset still handles sound, although it is enhanced by Creative with a software layer. The so-called "Quantum Wave" audio card supports THX and EAX audio, offers 6 audio output ports for 7.1 channel HD audio, and two S/PDIF sockets (one analog and one digital). This card will occupy one of the two PCI-E x1 expansion slots. The other PCI-E x1 slot becomes unusable if you use a dual-slot graphics card so you are left only with the two normal PCI slots for any expansion cards.
The layout of the motherboard's ports is well thought out. Even if you were to use all three PCI-Express graphics slots, with high-end graphic cards that are wider and longer than the usual ones, at least one PCI slot still remains usable. All the storage ports remain accessible, and don't get hidden under the graphics cards. This has been achieved because one PATA port and 6 of the SATA ports are angled to the side.
The package contents of the MSI Big Bang Fuzion clearly marks out the premium, enthusiast class to which it belongs. There is a lot of documentation to address various special features of the board, including pictorial representations that will help you overclock and setup X-mode Hydra graphics in a jiffy. In addition to a quick guide for the motherboard itself, documentation provided includes a quick installation guide, Fuzion user guide, OC Genie manual, WINKI user guide, Control Center user guide, HDD backup user guide, OC Dashboard user guide, OverClocking guide, Hydra quick guide, and a solitary paper with the Hydra Graphics Card Combination Table.
Three discs are bundled – drivers for the Quantum Wave sound card and Lucid Hydra 200 chip, and one as the motherboard chipset's drivers and utilities. Brackets are provided for installation of additional ports at the back, including one USB bracket (2 ports) and one eSATA bracket (provides two eSATA and one molex power connector). So called "V-check" cables are provided to help test voltage if you have a power meter. A lot of cables are bundled, including 7 SATA cables, 1 PATA cable, and 2 Molex-to-SATA power cables.
The "OC Dashboard" supplied by MSI also performs functions that used to be provided by their D-LED bracket (POST error codes). This "dashboard" is a small device about the size of an external memory card reader, with two buttons and has a single-line display that can be used for various purposes including overclocking and system diagnostics. It connects to the Fuzion's backpanel using a 14-pin connector cable and is powered by a mini-USB cable bundled with it. With this motherboard you can over-clock (run your computer beyond its rated speed) your processor in three ways – the OC Genie, the buttons on the OC Dashboard, and the old hardcore method of puttering with the "Core Cell" menu within the BIOS. The BIOS is great for tweakers, and the extensive hardware overrides for voltages to various system parts allow for coaxing every last bit of performance out of them.
Those who do not want to run their components beyond the rated spec can just use the defaults, though that would be a shame on such a mobo like the Fuzion. This motherboard is based on the P55 chipset so it will automatically use the TurboBoost feature on supported Core i5/i7 processors. When not all cores are being utilized, TurboBoost will disable half of them on the fly, and the remaining cores will run at a higher speed - when an app wants more cores, TurboBoost will set the processor back to normal.

OK, boys and girls on the East Cost. Listen up. Hurricane Sandy's on her way, and she's liable to make a mess of things next week. Just how bad depends on who you're reading, but regardless it's time to start getting ready. Here's how your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad can help.
- Charge your iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads. Now. Keep them charged. And once the storm starts, keep them off. You'll likely lose power at some point, and there's a good chance your local cell network will go down for a bit, even with generator backups.
- Spare batteries. You can't swap batteries in Apple products, but you can get external batteries. If you got 'em, make sure they're charged, too. If you still have time to get some, do it.
- Car charger. Get one. Get a couple, actually.
- After the storm, text messages may work best. If the network's up, it's going to be clogged, and calls might not go through. iMessage might not go through. Text messages have a much better chance.
- If you're worried about damage and don't have a traditional camera, use your phone to take a few pictures of your home and your belongings. It'll make insurance claims much easier, should it come to that.
- While you still have power and internet access, be it on your phone or broadbad, take advantage of features like instant uploading on Photo Stream, Google+, or Dropbox to make sure those pictures get somewhere that can't be destroyed by the storm. Better to be safe than sorry in that case.
- If you just have to use Instagram during a storm, don't use a damn filter. Folks wanna see what's happening, and filters don't help that.
- Use apps like Evernote to help keep track of your emergency supplies.
- Before the storm, use those gas-finder apps to track down the cheapest petrol. That won't help you with the lines, but it may save you a few bucks.
- Apps from FEMA and the Red Cross can help you find shelters and other emergency information.
Those are but a few ways your iPhone or iPad can get you through this. Have a tip you'd like to share? Let's hear 'em in the comments! And good luck, everyone. Stay safe.

Last Tuesday's cross county meet at Gallatin County was nothing more than a glorified practice for the Henry County squad that is currently aiming towards the Greater Louisville Classic Oct. 4, head coach Ricky Drawbaugh said. But a day after the Cats had a tough practice, they were still able to put together a solid race on the hilly layout.

Stars unveil new logo, jersey amid several changes on 20th anniversary of move to Dallas
DALLAS – The Dallas Stars have unveiled a new logo and jersey in a celebration of several changes coming on the 20th anniversary of the franchise's move to Texas.
The logo revealed Tuesday features a "D'' over a slight alteration of the familiar star that was part of the logo when the Minnesota North Stars moved south in 1993. The words "Dallas Stars" are in a circle around the logo on the jersey's sleeve.
The Stars also announced to several thousand fans at a theater in downtown Dallas that they will retire the No. 9 of franchise icon Mike Modano during a home game on March 8.
The club also said it will hold training camp in nearby Fort Worth for the first time.

Staff Writer
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Joseph Erardi has presented a proposed budget of $86.4 million, an increase of 4.87 percent that is intended to help the district keep pace with changing state standards.
The final budget approved last year for the BOE was about $82 million. The Board of Education examined the new proposal in detail during its budget workshops earlier this week, held after The Observer went to press.
In a letter introducing the budget, Erardi wrote, "This proposed superintendent's budget maintains the core of our existing programs but also includes initiatives that look to recapture lost programming and/or are presented to the Board of Education as additional needed resources because of our statutory obligation to the Teacher Evaluation Plan and the Common Core State Standards initiative."
The proposal asks for a handful of new staff members, including three full-time positions to support literacy and numeracy within the district. Erardi also hopes to recruit a full-time K-12 science coordinator and 8.75 positions worth of paraprofessionals. The budget also includes $271,303 worth of funding meant for a three-year "technology infrastructure upgrade" that includes network and wireless internet upgrades. Additional staff to help oversee the "expanded robust network" is expected to cost $98,650.
Then there is the proposal for an all-day kindergarten program, which amounts to over a million dollars but is offset somewhat by staff reductions elsewhere. The net increase in staffing costs to the budget associated with the program amounts to $457,792 with another $147,745 in "furniture, fixtures and equipment" that is expected to be a one-time expense.
"It is also important to know that this K-12 proposal reflects a reduction in staff yet maintains present class size," Erardi wrote.
The plan has become the subject of impassioned debate within the community and the school district plans to gather more input from parents on January 28 and 30, when officials meet with parents of incoming kindergartners.
"We're all receiving numerous phone calls, emails and personal contacts," said BOE Chairman Brian Goralski during a recent meeting. "During our workshops, we'll be putting our thoughts together as a group."
To become a reality, the program will have to be endorsed by the BOE and then survive whatever budget reallocations occur as a result of funding decisions by the Board of Finance and the Town Council.
Other parts of the budget's requested increase are more familiar, including rising health insurance costs, anticipated pay raises for staff, magnet schools tuition and transportation costs. The current proposal is also operating under the assumption that the Educational Cost Sharing (ECS) funds from the state will not change, but this will not be known for sure until the state government decides on its own budget.

Brewers acquire Parra from D-backs for prospects
ST. PETERSBURG -- Gerardo Parra did not immediately know where he fit into his new team's outfield mix, but he knew one thing about the Milwaukee Brewers.
"They play hard, and they play happy," Parra said in a telephone conversation minutes after a trade sent him from Arizona to Milwaukee. "I love that."
ST. PETERSBURG -- Gerardo Parra did not immediately know where he fit into his new team's outfield mix, but he knew one thing about the Milwaukee Brewers.
"They play hard, and they play happy," Parra said in a telephone conversation minutes after a trade sent him from Arizona to Milwaukee. "I love that."
The Brewers like Parra's defense at all three outfield positions and his left-handed bat, so they parted with a pair of Minor League prospects to pry him from the D-backs on Thursday, about two hours before the non-waiver Trade Deadline.
Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said he also "pushed pretty hard" to acquire a right-handed reliever but was unable to find a match before the 3 p.m. CT Deadline passed. Melvin had either expressed interest or exchanged concrete proposals recently with the Rangers on Joakim Soria, the Padres on Joaquin Benoit, the Rockies on LaTroy Hawkins and the Red Sox on Koji Uehara. He also explored with D-backs GM Kevin Towers the potential of expanding their trade to include Brad Ziegler or Addison Reed. In each instance, the sides could not agree on fair value for a return. Of that group, only Soria was traded.
"We tried on the relievers," Melvin said. "There were a couple of opportunities, maybe, a couple guys we got involved in as rentals, and we were prepared to pay a certain price for them. When it started getting more involved, we just thought it was a little too much.
"I thought we were close on a couple. We made very fair offers, but people see players differently."
Melvin never came close to a trade for a top starting pitcher. The Brewers preferred to continue building around some of their top homegrown talent, including 24-year-old second baseman Scooter Gennett, 25-year-old starting pitchers Jimmy Nelson and Wily Peralta, and 26-year-old left fielder Khris Davis.
"We had players that teams liked -- players, obviously, like Jimmy Nelson and guys like that," Melvin said. "We weren't prepared to do that."
Headed to Arizona in the Parra trade was Double-A Huntsville outfielder Mitch Haniger, who was ranked No. 8 on MLB.com's list of the top Brewers prospects before the deal, plus 20-year-old left-hander Anthony Banda, who was drafted by the D-backs in 2011 but did not sign. The Brewers took Banda in the 10th round of the Draft the following season.
Parra was scheduled to travel to St. Louis on Friday in time for the Brewers' series opener at Busch Stadium. Assuming he arrives in time, the Brewers will option outfielder Logan Schafer to Triple-A Nashville to create roster room.
Parra, who is batting .259 with six home runs and 30 RBIs in 104 games this season, has one more year of arbitration eligibility remaining after this season. The 27-year-old has started mostly in right field this year, but Ryan Braun is a fixture there for the Brewers, Carlos Gomez is entrenched in center field and Davis is playing his first full Major League season in left. Ideally, Parra will spell each of those starters while providing insurance against injuries for Gomez, who has battled a back issue of late, and Braun, who has managed thumb, back and rib cage ailments at various times this year.
"[Parra] gives us experience and a left-handed bat when guys need a day off here and there," Melvin said. "He brings you both defense and a little bit of a bat. I think we'll use him in certain matchups against certain right-handed pitchers at all three places."
Parra has won National League Gold Glove Awards in both left field (2011) and right ('13). His 62 outfield assists since 2009 are tied for second in the Major Leagues, trailing only the Blue Jays' Jose Bautista's 63.
Parra will be greeted by a couple of familiar faces on Friday. He is friends with Brewers closer and fellow Venezuelan Francisco Rodriguez, and was teammates with Mark Reynolds in Arizona in 2009-10.
"It's a new part of my life, and I say thank you to the Milwaukee Brewers for giving me this new opportunity to try to make the playoffs and play on a team in first place," Parra said. "I heard something [about a potential trade]. I know baseball. But you don't think anything until it happens."
Parra is earning $4.85 million this season and would see that salary rise for 2015 if the Brewers go through arbitration with him.
"We didn't really worry about next year as much as we're trying to get to the postseason now," Melvin said.
With that in mind, Melvin will continue to work the market. Players can still be traded after July 31 if they clear waivers, and traded players are eligible for postseason play if they are on a team's roster by Aug. 31.
"We still have some pieces we would consider in trades," Melvin said. "It doesn't mean you can't do something later on."

Seven brothers perform spectacular routine for sister's wedding (video)
June 10, 2019
On your wedding day, being surrounded by your family is an amazing feeling. That feeling is only magnified when your family does something like the bride's brothers do in the video below. As Kishan Kotecha, one of this lucky bride's brothers, explains on the YouTube video, this was meant to be "a wedding gift she'll never forget."
These seven brothers, ranging in age from 15 to 46, choreographed a dance with the help of Nicky Farmer of Kidology Dance Co. (a British dance school), so they could perform at their sister's wedding reception. Their routine starts with The Lion King's "The circle of Life," written by Sir Elton John. The Kotecha brothers wanted this beginning to symbolize "protection of a dear sister by her brothers."
However, this was just the spectacular classic beginning. This tribute to their beloved sister includes and covers many hits in a myriad of styles. From all-time favorites such as Michael Jackson's "Thriller" to modern classics like Beyonce's "All The Single Ladies," the Kotecha family seems to be able to master all the dance styles provided by these songs.
The performance is impressive, but they insist they only spent 6 hours rehearsing it. With or without dancing lessons, however, one thing is for sure: Their sister loved the idea. "She welled up with tears of joy," they proudly add.
Be sure to watch the full performance in the video below.

If you have been checking only the front page and Forums at CC, then you are missing a tremendous amount of new content we have been posting over the past few months. We continue to 'build out' the new design that we introduced in the spring, and now is a good time to check out some of the extra features we have added. The latest articles always appear in the lower right corner of the home page, under Latest Updates. So be sure to keep an eye on that section each time you come to CC.
Cycling4Women - Our new sister site continues to grow, as C4W editor Leigh Hargrove adds feature articles regularly. Click on Women's Cycling in the CC navbar, or bookmark Cycling4Women.ca directly. C4W also has a Facebook page, which can be accessed from the C4W home page.
Recent features include: Reports on the new CCA Pilot Project to get more women into competition and women's clubs in Winnipeg and Toronto. Coming up: the incredible success of the Washington state program to intro more women to cycling - 239 Cat IV women!
Reviews - Chad G. is steadily increasing the number of reviews he files, with recent articles including a long term Dura Ace wheelset report. Just in time for the short days, Chad's review of the affordable NiteRider MiNewt is going online in the next 24 hours, as is Tech editor Mike Badyk's Specialized Commandpost system. Our Editoress tried out the stylish Opus Cervin urban bike, and we will also have a full set of book reviews up just in time for Christmas gift shopping.
Classifieds - The Classifieds section continues to grow at an amazing rate, with as many as 20 new items added per day. Of course, this is the prime time of the year for people selling off equipment, so if you are looking for a deal on a piece of kit, be sure to check out the Classifieds on a regular basis. For sellers: we know the Classifieds are successful, by the number of requests we get to remove sold items. And remember: the Classifieds are FREE (private sales).
Industry/Advocacy News - There are some news items that are quite specific - distributors announcing new sales reps, or specific local trail access issues, for example. These items may not get posted to the main Daily News section, but are added to the appropriate Industry or Advocacy sections. You can always check on what has been posted recently to these departments by clicking on the appropriate section of the navbar.
RSS Feed - CC has had an 'unofficial' RSS Feed for sometime, but as part of our redesign we improved this service, and you can now sign up by clicking the button on the right side of the navbar.
Daily News Archive - There is often so much news going on that we hear from readers asking how they can catch up on news that has 'fallen off' the bottom of the front page. Well, if you weren't aware, every news item we put into our database back to 1997 is only a few clicks away.
You have a couple of different ways to access the archives:
1. At the bottom of the current Daily News items on the home page there is a Search function that you can use to search for a specific rider, event, etc. You can narrow down by year and/or month (this is a good idea, otherwise, you can easily get overwhelmed with hundreds or thousands of responses). If you want to get everything for a specific month/year, just leave the Key Word(s) section blank.
2. If you click on the Daily News link in the navbar and scroll down the page, you will see a link to every month of every year going back to May of 1997 (when we started putting news into the database). Clicking on any one of these will bring up all the postings for that month (including the current one).
We continue to add to CC every week, and you can expect to see new sections and expanded content added on a regular basis, so stay tuned.

Well the doctor has been in the show since the start...he's a known.
The other five are unknowns to me. The guy would seem to fill in an added roll of mentor to some of the younger crew, though they had three or four of those already. Though in Yamato III they did try to expand the cast to include more of the crewmen and junior officers....they just didn't have time due to budget cuts and episode numbers being reduced (Yamato III was to have 52 episodes...it got cut while airing to 25). I mean they did introduce them and gave them some screen time early on, but they became background again as production required and were mostly absent or very background in Final Yamato and not mentioned at all in the most recent film.
The four women likely are there due to some fair complaints about Yuki being the only woman on the ship for the majority of the series. Though at the beginning of the show there were more women on the ship...just after the tenth or so episode...they just kind of vanished. I mean one episode there are men and women in the mess hall talking...and then an episode or two later...there is only Yuki, and it becomes a plot point even somplace.....one woman and a hundred or so guys? In Yamato III there would be more women in the crew, but "because the mission was dangerous" they were all shipped home save for Yuki who insisted on staying and had the senority (and had the heart of the captain) to get her way. There was only one other named woman in the cast that I recall, and that was the doctor's other nurse before they shipped her home (Yuki tendent to fill in as a nurse.) By the Sixth movie, Yuki would be the captain of a space battleship of her own.
In fact, I think most of the roles these four women play are roles Yuki effectively had at one point of another during the first season.
I wonder if the robot will still be in this?

Aside from the April 7th theater preview film, is there anything about the series? Like what TV station it is suppose to be on? When it comes out? Those sorts of things? It will be 26 episodes, and previewed as "7 films" before they go on TV.
If not, my guess it we will hear something after the 18th.

Though looking at the female designs...it's REALLY obvious that Leiji isn't involved in this project artistically speaking, and they're only taking minimal cues from his style. The "Stoic long haired blonde aryan super babe" vibe I'm getting from these characters is incredibly weak, hell, even Yuki herself is more of a sandy blonde...and honestly I'm rather happy with that.

April 7th = Ep1-2 Theatrical
June 30th = Ep3-6 Theatrical
The subsequent theatrical events will all have 4 episodes each. The first DVD/Blu-ray volume containing Ep1-2 will be released on May 25th as well. There is no actual telecast planned for the series, and there isn't even an "on air" section on the official site. It doesn't seem like they feel it is important for this series.

I would much rather this had a televised run...as it would mean people would see it.
A ten theater showing seems like pretty much nothing. And having yet another space opera being "OVA only" is starting to get annoying.

I'd rather see it sooner than later.
I saw some images of the Gamilon ships. The destroyer is pretty much the same, but the battleship and tri-deck carrier have changed a bit, while still being recognizable.
Starsha (or prehaps her sister) still has the long blonde hair from what few images one can find. The cut of her outfit is a lot more revealing that it use to be, and she doesn't looks as much like Yuki as the previous model did.
They also updated the character sheet again today with the Black Tiger pilots, more of the engineering staff that I believe I recognize from episodes Their uniforms are much more like the older style shirts, probably so they can access their pockets easier. One guy in yellow that I think I recognize, but can't tell for sure....and then two guys in grey uniforms....a division I have never seen before.
Pilot Yamamoto no longer has the Harlock looks with one eye hidden by his bangs, but has long wavey hair. The Black Tiger uniform is more like the old style uniform mixed with the live action movie uniform...but they now have aviators jackets in additon to their uniform.

Well that was interesting. I see familiar faces from later seasons of the show...Captain Gideon for example. Possibly the Captain for Be Forever, Yamato as well.
It looks well done...like the first series could have been if they had to budget of the second series.
And it is up on Youtube already.

Holy Balls that was awesome. I'm loving all the hyper detailed 2d technical details, and even am liking the CGI space battles. Everything I'm seeing is just looking so professionally done.
Holy fuck. The Gamilon are planet bombing us.
Also, it's much more intuitive why Space Force got it's ass kicked by the Gamilon Navy. Energy shields. That wasn't very noticeable in the original series.

This guy is going to die.
I don't even know who he is, but I know he's going to die. Out of all the male characters, he's the ONLY one that really looks like a generic, modern male character. He's also the most androgynous looking, bent legs, with a head more rounded than even the other younger male characters, huge soulful eyes and the least well defined chin of the males. Along with his hanging hair hanging down completely, as if pulled down by gravity.
To make matters worse, he's also got a very generic drab grey outfit that doesn't seem to suggest it's tied with any function critical enough to warrant a bright outfit so you could better recognize a main character in it.
This guy exists for one purpose. To die in a sympathetic/tragic manner. It's only a matter of when.
Edit: Shima Daisuke has also been pretty radically changed.

I have no idea who that kid is, but his boss looks like a snake in the grass. (eyes nearly always closed or open only slightly).
Never seen a grey uniform, so no clue (without a translation anyway) to what department they are with.
I did just realize (though I probably guess earlier and ignored it) that Ensign Akira Yamamoto (played by Rie Tanaka)...the female ship's purser with the short grey hair....is an existing charcter.
A male existing character (in 1974 and 1978)...only really in one episode of the first season, but used more in the second season...as one of the lead fighter pilots. A pilot in the Star Blazers dub known as Jefferson Davis Hardy. The guy with the heavy southern accent and the Harlock hair.
Interesting choice.
(Hurry...there are only 47 days left...)

Yeah, I spotted the main deserter in the crew lineup. I think I spotted the later era Chief Engineer as well (he was suppose to be on the ship, but they didn't introduce him until "New Voyages"). Considering one of the chief people involved with this is I think supposes to be THE Yamato fanboy in Japan...the guy that started their largest fanclub I guess back in the 70s....I think he knows what he's going...at least on details (fanboys can catch details, but some can't write themselves out of a paperbag).
But on the other hand...this is Yamato. People will die. Even in the trailer you see people dying. It all is a matter of who and when. (Because, like Star Trek...in one version or another...I think everyone has died on that ship. Just depends on the timeline.)
Having characters that appeared later in the series show up early on I think is a nice touch. It fills in some odd plotholes...like why was this guy on the ship, but we never saw him until the third film...when we saw "everyone" that was on the ship in the previous film. Or where was the Captain of the Battleship Andromeda during the Gamilon War...well, he's in the trailer a few times...so that question will be answered.
With the realization on Yamamoto, that finishes covering all ther various tasks Yuki has been put into in various films and episodes. Radar Operations (her real job, and that of the 17 year old that does third shift), Psychology...she was about the only one that could talk to just about anybody and get them to listen (covered I suppse by the older blue haired woman), Nurse (covered by the new Miss Fanservice, doing double duty because that was also a Yuki role), and Fighter Pilot...(from the Live Action Movie). That means Yuki gets to keep her roll in the likely love triangle and radar operation. Though I don't know what else they might have her do now. I'd guess filling in as needed, as if this series keeps in line with the much, much, much later sixth film (that came out in 2009), she will be a battleship's Captain someday.
One plotline I and some others are interesting in seeing...the plotline for Kodai's brother. The one that was dropped during the original run due to budget issues. While the start of his story has been in every version of this tale, his endings vary. The only hint I have that they might try to do the original version (or a variant of it), is that they made a third Earth ship type for the Battle of Pluto. A ship type that looks a lot like the one used in the manga that followed that plotline. That isn't Kodai's brother's ship thats he uses at that battle, but the look is close to the later seen ship.

Really? They had Yuki doing THAT many random jobs? Jeez, no wonder they felt they could go and make up entirely new female characters to take up those positions. (though glasses girl seems to also being some kind of intelligience annalist from what I've heard other people taking about it).

December 17, 2003
Los Angeles — The G. and R. Loeb Foundation and UCLA Anderson School of Management announce changes to the final judging panel of the Gerald Loeb Awards for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism. Named as new final judges were: Lionel Barber, U.S. managing editor of Financial Times; Rik Kirkland, managing editor of Fortune; and Pamela Thomas-Graham, president and chief executive officer of CNBC.
The Loeb Awards, considered the most prestigious honor in business journalism, recognize journalists who have contributed to the public's understanding of business, finance and the economy. The three new final judges were introduced at the fall meeting of the 14-member panel of final judges, which was held in New York City last month. That meeting signaled the launch of the 2004 Loeb Awards competition season.
Loeb Awards final judges serve as advisors to the program and are responsible for selecting winners from among finalists in the 10 competition categories, as well as the recipients of the career honors: Lifetime Achievement Award and Lawrence Minard Editor Award.
"We're pleased to have these leaders in business and financial news join our esteemed Loeb Awards final judging panel," said Bruce G. Willison, dean of UCLA Anderson School and a Loeb Awards final judge. "We're confident their professional perspective and expertise will contribute greatly to our efforts to continually enhance and ensure the relevance of the Loeb Awards program," added Willison, who also serves as chairman of the G. and R. Loeb Foundation.
Dean Willison also announced the retirement of three longtime Loeb Awards final judges at last month's meeting. He acknowledged the following individuals for their many contributions during their years of service to the Loeb Awards: Rance Crain, president and editorial director of Crain Communications, Inc.; Mary Anne Dolan, former editor of Los Angeles Herald Examiner; and John Huey, editorial director of Time, Inc.
Profiles of New Judges
Lionel Barber leads the editorial development of the U.S. edition of Financial Times and U. S. news on FT.com. He joined Financial Times in 1985, and prior to his current position as U.S. managing editor, he served as continental European edition editor, London news editor, Brussels bureau chief and chief European correspondent, and Washington correspondent and U.S. editor. In 2001, the White House invited Barber to brief President Bush ahead of his inaugural trip to Europe. He is a frequent commentator on the BBC, CNN, National Public Radio, PBS and other network broadcast programs.

Ecma publishes new standard ECMA‑402:"ECMAScript Internationalization API Specification" - enabling JavaScript applications speaking the users' languages
Geneva, Switzerland, 4 February 2013
Ecma International has approved at its December 2012 General Assembly a new standard that lets applications written in JavaScript (standardized as ECMAScript) better support a user's language and culture. The standard has been published as ECMA-402.
Until now, it has been very difficult for web application designers to do something as simple as sort names correctly according to the user's language. The new standard ECMA-402 changes this. It provides:
ECMA-402, ECMAScript Internationalization API Specification, is available free of charge from the Ecma International website:
Mr. Norbert Lindenberg, editor of the standard said: "This standard provides the core internationalization functionality that most applications need. Applications can now use the numbering system, calendar, and formats appropriate for the user, and where in the past they had to send lists to the server for correct sorting, this API lets them sort directly in the browser."
Mr. Nebojša Ćirić, chairman of the ECMAScript internationalization group: "Our main goals for this specification were to provide uniform and ubiquitous internationalization API for developers, to enable offline processing, and to reduce the download size for localization data. We achieved these goals and laid a solid foundation for future iterations of this specification."
Dr. István Sebestyén, Secretary General of Ecma International, added: "We are very proud to have extended the highly successful ECMAScript ECMA-262 standard with this important and much needed feature."
The standard has been developed by Ecma Technical Committee 39, with committee members representing Adobe, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Mozilla and others contributing their expertise.
ECMAScript is a trademark of Ecma International; JavaScript is a trademark of Oracle Corporation.

Boots right into MS-DOS 6.22 with the sound card already set up. Perfect for a bridge-board Amiga or to quickly test a mainboard without having to attach floppy, harddisk, etc.
Wow, that's awesome! I'll be honest, I've never even heard of a DOM before.
How does this work exactly? I didn't know that sound cards with IDE interfaces were actually bootable.

Because we know we'll be banging them up a lot during finish work, our contractor built us a set of temporary steps out of thick pine boards and plywood. And since I suddenly have access to the second floor of our addition, I've started moving things into the new space -- particularly the storage boxes that have been stacked in our bedrooms ever since our move nearly two years ago. That's what's kept me occupied -- moving boxes and the inevitable sorting and re-sorting. Hence the blogging hiatus. (Well, it doesn't make sense to neglect one's house in order to maintain a blog on house beauty, does it? At least, that's what I keep telling myself...)
Quite some time ago, a blog reader asked me how to store things in small spaces, and I felt I simply had to share about the Storage Box System our family uses. I didn't create it: a dear friend introduced me to it, and I believe she got it from Sandra Felton, founder of Messies Anonymous and a real inspiration to me for House Beauty.
Here's how the system works. It begins with making an investment in good sturdy storage boxes. Our first time doing this, we bought 22 stackable plastic file boxes: identical boxes that could hold either files (my husband and I are compulsive filers) or loose items. We arrived at the number 22 by going around the house and counting all the cardboard boxes we'd been hauling around since high school and college and marriage. It was a big investment, especially for newlyweds, but the boxes paid for themselves in headache relief (our first set lasted almost ten years! We upgraded shortly before we moved.) File boxes were a great size for us: they held everything we owned but the largest kind of Christmas decorations. When we upgraded, we got clear ones with double-sided lids from Office Max.
Next, we labeled the boxes. You can use numbers or letters. Since we started this system back in the days of 1.5 kids, I had time to print out lovely calligraphy capital letters on our computer printer and methodically tape them to all four sides of the boxes with clear packing tape. I really do recommend this if you can do it: somehow making the storage boxes beautiful was enormously empowering to me. Nowadays I use a permanent marker, but I do try to attempt calligraphy, still.
Third, fill the boxes. It was such a relief to sort through years of high school notebooks (writers keep everything) and organize. Simply making every storage box a uniform size freed up lots of space: ten file boxes stacked into a space where we had crammed five or six odd-sized cardboard moving boxes.
Fourth (and this is the key) make the list. The list gives a short summary of the content of each box: for example 1- High School Diaries 2 - Art sketchbooks 3 - Letters 4 - Christmas 5 - Easter decorations 6 - Stored Toys.
Fifth: You post the list in the closet where the boxes are stored. Every time you open the closet to search for something in a box, your list is there, ready to help you. It really works -- I've found my husband's high school diploma in less than five minutes with this system!
I've adapted this system for our off-season clothing storage too, using those huge bins for kids' clothing and a permanent marker for the number labels. And I use another set of boxes (green lids) for homeschooling materials. And another set (white lids) for Christmas decorations. You can see examples of several boxes I've used in the photo above, with the list posted above for reference.
The beauty of the system is this: since the numbers on the box are permanent, but the list is not, you can easily change things as you need to. I just redid my Big Box list a few weeks ago: you can see it above: now Box 9 holds the Nativity scene instead of Off Season Coats. No more crossing out and re-labeling boxes! The numbers stay the same, but my list changes seasonally (though our long-term file boxes have stayed constant for the most part -- Box 3, sporting the original calligraphy label, still holds Easter and Thanksgiving decorations).
I'm glad to share this system! I hope it helps make your life easier too!
