n/a; 100% scratch build
5.70 inches
Realizing that he had underestimated the capabilities of the TMNT too many times in the past, Shredder decides to purchase some additional insurance against the meddlesome reptilian foursome. He puts out an interstellar contract on the Turtle's heads, promising a ludicrous sum of money to anyone who can eradicate the TMNT for him, once and for all. Traveling through the cosmos, via the Translocation Matrix Beam in Krang's Technodrome, Shredder narrows the list of applicants down to the two most dangerous bounty hunters: Tora The Polar Beast and Shogun.
Shogun is a cyborg warrior who hails from Sector 6 of the Dead Star Zone. Shogun's head, which is self-propelled via an anti-gravity drive, can separate from his body and fly about independently. Shogun frequently employs this tactic, as it allows for two-pronged attacks that confuse his prey. His weapon of choice is a custom-built naginata, the blade of which is composed of an alien alloy that is so sharp that it can part steel like tissue paper. As Shogun is dressed up in traditional samurai armor, fights with a classic Japanese weapon, and chose a replica of an ancient Japanese castle as his fortress on Earth, it appears he has very deep ties with that time period's culture. How a cyborg from another galaxy acquired the taste for such things is unknown.
Donatello (whom I chose for the "hero" of this play set project solely because of his use of the bo staff--I figured this made him a suitable match for the naginata-wielding Shogun, as the two weapons are similar in length/style) is one of the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shogun hopes to slay in order to collect Shredder's bounty. Donatello is the smartest of the four Turtles, possessing genius-level intelligence, with considerable knowledge in most branches of modern science. He is also the least violent of the Turtles, preferring to use his wits, rather than brawn, to solve problems. Donatello, and his three brothers, began life as normal, pet turtles, until, one day, an accident involving mutagenic ooze transformed them into their current, more humanoid, form. They received their education, and ninjutsu training, from their master and adopted father, Splinter.
Shogun, and his level, are exclusive to the 1990 Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Atari ST ports of the earlier 1989 Konami Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game, which was renamed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game for the NES/Atari ST market (another TMNT game had been released on these two systems previously, hence the number two). Shogun's new level was sandwiched in between the quarry/warehouse (where Splinter is being held captive by Granitor) and the Technodrome sections of the arcade game.
Newsprint, paper grocery bag, white paper, colored paper, Kleenex, cardboard from cereal/potato chip boxes, white/hot glue, wire twist ties, paperclips, gloss nail polish, cat hair (no animal was harmed in acquiring it), ink, graphite pencil, colored pencil, and acrylic paint.
(*The dimensions for the two action figures can vary, depending on how the joints are positioned. The numbers given for the figures assume a 'neutral' standing pose without any accessories attached. Additionally, Shogun's hair is excluded from his measurements.)
(Donatello) 5.4 cm/2.1 in. x 2.7 cm/1.1 in. (highest point x widest point)
(Shogun) 6.6 cm/2.6 in. x 4.0 cm/1.6 in. (highest point x widest point)
(Play Set) 14.5 cm/5.7 in. x 23.6 cm/9.3 in. (highest point x widest point)
(Donatello) Eighteen points total: Neck (2), shoulders (2), elbows (4), wrists (2), hips (2), knees (4), and ankles (2).
(Shogun) Twenty-six points total: Neck, shoulder armor flaps (2), mid-chest, waist, shoulders (2), elbows (4), wrists (2), waist armor flaps (4), belt knot, hips (2), knees (4), and ankles (2). The neck peg can also rotate inside it's socket, when attached to the body, but I don't consider that a "true" joint.
(Play Set) Two points: Bamboo spikes and secret wall.

Regal Cinemas goes dark ahead of Walmart expansion in Falmouth
FALMOUTH — The 10-screen Regal Cinemas has closed and will be torn down, paving the way for an expanded Walmart store.
Ben Devine, owner of the Falmouth Plaza at 206 Route 1, said Regal closed at the end of March. He said he negotiated an agreement with Regal to terminate the theater's lease, which will allow the neighboring Walmart to begin construction as early as this summer.
Walmart plans to expand its existing 92,000-square-foot store to a 124,000-square-foot Supercenter, which includes a full grocery store, pharmacy and large garden section.
The renovation requires the demolition of the cinema building.
While Devine said he hopes to see the project move forward by early summer, Wal-Mart corporate spokesman Bill Wertz said he does not have a schedule for the start of construction.
Wertz said the company is waiting for a state Department of Transportation permit and is finalizing design details for the outside of the building with town officials.
"We're going to significantly improve the appearance of the store," he said.
Senior Town Planner Ethan Croce said Walmart received conditional approval last November, and he is now working with company officials to clear up a few relatively minor changes before the plan receives its final sign-off.
Those changes include removal of some internal and pedestrian crossing signs to reduce sign clutter, removal of some lighting, changes to a decorative fence and the addition of a canopy over the garden center, Croce said.
After the retailer receives any outstanding state permits, officials will submit a building permit to the Codes Department and go through that application process, Croce said.
"They're pretty much good to go," he said.
Wertz said the store will remain open during the renovation.
Devine said he has talked to the theater company about moving somewhere else in town, but does not expect Regal to reopen in Falmouth. He said he thought a new movie theater in Freeport impacted Regal's business.
"They've said to me they can serve their customers at other locations," he said.
Regal Entertainment Group operates 523 theaters in 37 states, according to its website. Regal has cinemas in Brunswick and Augusta. The company acquired the former Hoyts Cinemas in Falmouth in 2003.
Calls to company officials for comments about the Falmouth closing were not returned.

All in the FAmily
"Game artist" doesn't mean what it used to
iF you missed this yeAr's GdC, you Also missed A reAlly interestinG
moment in the ongoing evolution of the game business. The game design
track always features a "Rant Session"—a chance for developers to blow off
some steam and take public stands on controversial topics. This year's rant
was titled "No Freakin' Respect! Social Game Developers Rant Back." (See
References.) It was theoretically about design, but really it became a forum
for social game developers to push back against dismissive or derisive
attitudes from AAA developers. The mere existence of such a forum points
out some intriguing changes in today's game business.
Social games, even though they are only a few years old, are expected
to bring in around $2 billion next year in the US. That might seem small
compared to the $18 billion or so from more familiar console and PC
titles, but social and casual games are booming, while AAA development
by this sudden and massive change in the structure of the game business.
It's hard to know exactly what the future will look like; after all, the MMO
boom proved conclusively that big investments don't always translate into
big successes. Even so, it's hard to imagine that the game industry of three
or four years from now will be quite the same clubby, AAA-centric world
we've known for so long. For artists, in particular, the rise of Casual, Social,
and Mobile (CSM) gaming will upend a lot of things we thought we knew
about our professional identities.
Popcap's Peggle.
is treading water. The social game market expanded by a whopping 66
percent last year, while the traditional market shrank by nearly a third.
Social and casual gaming has a lot of momentum right now, while the core
games market is in a holding pattern.
The contrast is pretty obvious to investors, who are firehosing money
into social game development. Disney bought Playdom for more than half a
billion dollars, and if the company hits performance targets, the total payout
could be about as big as EA's purchase of Bio Ware/Pandemic a few years
ago. But that's small change: Farmville creator Zynga is now reportedly
worth more than Electronic Arts. And as this article was going to press, EA
just bought PopCap for $750 million.
This all makes for some pretty heady times. But even us poor working
stiffs who aren't waiting for our new Lamborghinis are going to be affected
diFFerent strokes
» CSM game studios don't match the standard game studio template
most of us know. The teams tend to be much smaller and more fluid.
Development cycles are measured in months rather than years, and
budgets usually hit six digits, rather than eight.
The skillsets for CSM artists tend to be different as
well. High-poly modeling, 3D character animation,
and shader work is rare, while graphic art stylings
and traditional animation are in high demand.
Perhaps more importantly from the artist's
perspective, CSM studios are driven by gameplay
rather than content. A lot of big studios like to
talk about how "gameplay is king," but in CSM
studios the line between game design and art is
often very fluid. With lower burn rates and looser
tech requirements, many CSM studios expect
their artists to actively shape their gameplay. As
Popcap's John Vechey said in an interview with the
London Telegraph:
"An artist on a PopCap title is never just an
artist, or a programmer just a programmer, all are
required to contribute to and have a vision for the
game and what makes it fun."
That's not something a lot of traditional game
companies can say anymore. It sounds a lot more
like what our parents and friends think we do than
the actual reality of toiling way in the midst of a
$30 million project. It seems pretty attractive to
the poor drone toiling away on a long Excel sheet
of breakable crates. It's also the reason why a lot
of veteran game artists are willing to walk away from the prestige of big-budget, as-seen-on-TV AAA games to work on CSM titles: It's a lot like the
way games used to be before the age of next-gen bloat.
squAre PeGs
» There's another obvious difference between CSM games and the core
business: demographics. If you're a GDC veteran, the change is pretty
apparent just walking the hallways. Game studios have traditionally
looked a lot like their "core gamer" audiences: young, white, and male. The
audiences for CSM games are a lot more diverse, and so are the artists.
Some of this just reflects the gradual mainstreaming of gamer culture;
now that pretty much everyone under the age of 30 has some experience
with games, it's not surprising that you see more kinds of faces around

Did Moby Arena crowd influence refs against SDSU?
The Rams are whistled for an average of 3.5 fewer fouls and shoot nearly five more free throws at home than on the road. And their opponents are called for three more fouls and shoot six fewer free throws at Moby than they do at their home venues.
Just on the free throws alone, that's roughly an eight-point swing.
In Wednesday's game, Colorado State – a team many rate among the most physical in the nation – was whistled for a single foul in the first 18 minutes. In the second half, the three-man officiating crew began calling more fouls on the Rams, and the soldout crowd that locals called the loudest in Moby Arena history voiced its displeasure with a deafening chorus of boos.
Maybe McCall actually saw something the replays didn't. Maybe he saw Franklin still moving into position after Green had left his feet. Or maybe the recesses of his brain just wanted him to see that.
"We don't think this is conscious," Moskowitz, a professor at the University of Chicago, said at a 2011 forum to discuss his findings. "Basically, what's happening is referees start to see things the home crowd's way."

Case Selection
We would like to stress that this facility is a geographically separate Ambulatory Surgery Center. This is not a hospital nor is it an Ambulatory Center within a hospital. Not all ambulatory surgeries should be performed in a geographically separate center. Some cases need to be performed in a hospital based ambulatory unit. We will do whatever it takes to minimize complications and hospital admissions. This is accomplished by appropriate case selection. Those cases having even a very small chance for admission need to be scheduled as an outpatient in the hospital. You may book any ASA 1 + ASA 2 cases without any approval. All ASA 3 and higher need to be approved for geographically separate ambulatory surgery. (See summarized ASA classification below.) Please feel comfortable to call us if you have any questions about the appropriateness of your case.
Cataract surgery is in a category of its own - most cataract patients can be operated on at the Center. Any cataract patient requiring general anesthesia needs our approval. Do not hesitate to call and discuss a case with our staff.
We have no problem with patients who have a family history of malignant hyperthermia. Please let us know in advance.
Please call us if you have any doubts. Please notify us in advance of anything that we should be aware of that may affect our preparation for the case.

The white grape variety is named after its grower Georg Scheu who bred it from Riesling x Silvaner. It is as sensitive as its parent Riesling, requesting best, very warm locations. The grapes are very aromatic with a typical, fruity and elegant bouquet.
This white wine's sweetness and acidity are in perfect harmony with a fine flavour of pears and a touch of plum.
Scheu Spaetlese sweet white wine goes well with Asian cuisine, aromatic and spicy dishes, cheese, and fruity desserts.

Love these gloves. I had last years stealths and they were awesome, but these are way better due to the Gore-Tex insert and Pow got rid of the attached liner that tended to pull out when you took off your gloves with sweaty hands.

'Bored to Death' feature film being developed by HBOAdd to Favorites | Bored to Death
"Bored to Death," how we've missed you over the past year. HBO pulled the plug on the Jonathan Ames series at the end of 2011, but apparently the show isn't as dead as we once thought.
The Hollywood Reporter has learned that a "Bored to Death" feature film is in development at HBO that will reunite stars Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifianakis and Ted Danson for another adventure. "Jonathan, Ray, and George reunite to fight crime, commit crime, lose their minds and fail at love in a 'Bored to Death' feature-length slapstick adventure," reads the logline for the film.
Rumors of a potential "Bored to Death" movie started swirling in summer 2012, and Danson even gave away its planned premise during an interview with The Wall Street Journal at the GQ Gentleman's Ball in October. There's a good chance the film's plot has changed in the time since that chat, but Danson's synopsis gives fans a good sense of what they can expect when "Bored to Death" returns.
"I think Jason becomes a policeman, which means, for him, a traffic cop. He'll have a traffic-cop go-kart kind of thing. And I think Ray and I move in together, both of us without relationships. And then: hijinks. All hell breaks loose. That's about as much as I know," Danson said. "Lord, yes, I'm onboard."

When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to get to high school. Something about the idea of lockers and football games seemed like the peak of arrival. Turns out I didn't go to very many football games.
When I got to high school, I counted down moments until college. Dorm rooms and meal plans sounded so grown up and I couldn't wait to shop in the bookstore.
I dreamed about my first job, my next job, travels, and marriage, each season quickly turning from promise fulfilled into the waiting ground until the next.
I've been in a hurry to arrive as long as I can remember. I don't have to know exactly where I'm going to be in a hurry to get there.
This month started as an attempt to find truth in this wilderness season. And, if I'm perfectly honest, there was some part of me that thought maybe acknowledging it, maybe writing and declaring and claiming, would propel me out of this season faster. There was a minor breakdown around day 10 when I realized that wasn't exactly the case and I may have just added another pressure to this journey.
But somewhere along the way I've found myself believing the things I'm writing. Somewhere along the way I began to find the beauty of the journey. I don't know exactly when it happened.
Maybe it was realizing that God becomes the very thing our journey lacks.
Maybe it was so many reminders that we are not alone.
Maybe it was remembering that God sees me.
I'm not saying the longing for the promise is gone and I'm not saying I want to stay in this wilderness ground forever.
But I am saying that I don't want to get to the fulfillment only to look back and see clearly all the moments I missed. I don't want to arrive at the object of my longing and not be ready to step into the land. I don't want to become so focused on the promise that I lose sight of the Promiser.
We've been sold a lie that life is about waiting for the land. We see only from mountain to mountain, constantly looking for the next peak to reach. We've been taught what to wait for, instead of learning Who we wait on.
And this month has reminded me of the goodness of that One.
I'm not done writing about this wilderness journey. I just might take a little more time to organize my thoughts.
But at the end of this month, I'm more convinced than ever that we will "see his goodness in the land of the living."
Because I already have.
This is Day 31 of 31 days of truth from the wilderness. Click here to see all blogs in this series.

With but a few weeks to go before Google I/O 2012 kicks off and the presumed Google Nexus tablet announcement, we would expect to get a look at the rumored device before long. If the two images here prove to be legit, this is what the Asus-manufactured Google Nexus 7 tablet looks like… only less blurry.
Featuring what appears to be three colors (white face, black/grey back), the tablet has the familiar Google logo right in middle of the backside. Looking quite a bit like a massive Galaxy Note, the tablet looks to be held in more of a portrait mode as opposed to landscape. Notice that speaker at the top of the screen? Surely we are not the only one who thinks this thing might double as a phone. Either way, we'd use Google Voice and install Groove IP on the first day.
Recapping some of the details that have been circulating for a while, the Nexus 7 should have a Tegra 3 processor, run Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), and run about $150-$200.
The Google Nexus 7 tablet should look something like this originally appeared on AndroidGuys.

OpenDocument format gathers steam

Massachusetts moves ahead sans MicrosoftSeptember 23, 2005
(continued from previous page)
Even vendors that do not sell Office-style productivity applications have an interest in OpenDocument, RedMonk's O'Grady said.
An e-mail company, for example, could bake support for the format into its software and allow a user to embed a fully formatted document within a message without having to launch a separate application, he said. Another possibility is for a wiki server to use XML to programmatically extract data from OpenDocument-formatted documents.
Government interest
Because OpenDocument-based products are not widely used, the financial incentive for corporate or governmental customers is still not thoroughly tested, analysts and industry executives said.
NASCIO's Gallt said that state governments are looking at whether Massachusetts can make the case that adopting OpenDocument will provide a compelling return on investment.
Massachusetts state officials argued the move will save millions of dollars and that an "open" format developed through a multiparty standards organization ensures the state "sovereignty" over documents and electronic public records.
That policy, however, is being challenged by the state senate, which is considering the creation of a special committee with industry representatives to approve technical standards. Various industry groups have criticized the move as well, saying it limits the choice of office suites for customers.
Gallt said that the other states' agencies exploring OpenDocument are doing so in a far more scaled-down and less visible way than Massachusetts.
"It's still, in a lot of ways, behind-the-scenes discussions and evaluations at this point, because it is such an emotional and volatile topic, as Massachusetts has found," he said.
Some foreign governments are looking seriously at OpenDocument, IBM's Sutor said. "Particularly in Europe, to a lot of folks, it seems like a fairly obvious direction," he said.
The French state tax agency said Wednesday it intends to migrate 80,000 desktops next year from Microsoft Office 97 to OpenOffice, an open-source product that uses OpenDocument. The move will save about $34 million dollars, the agency's chief technology officer told ZDNet UK.
Those moves toward adoption suggest that the time is right for Microsoft's rivals to take on the software giant and its dominance in desktop products. The ODF Summit's technical and marketing initiatives could make OpenDocument-based products more viable replacements.
"We seem to have reached some important point where people feel this is a must-win battle," said Sutor. "I think this is critically important."

- Acts of Desperation
- This is such an act of desperation from these companies who dont have the clout to compete with MS head on and courting on desperate acts like giving away free software in the hopes to kill MS. In the very long shot that they successes not only are they shrinking a industry but also companies like IBM which are the primary cause of USs trade deficit is hurting one of the key US export after selling their PC business and brands like ThinkPad to a Chinese company. Brainless fools are they.

- There is a brainless fool here, but its not IBM...
- Switching to an open, standard format for document storage is not an act of despiration. It is a way of looking forward 5, 10 and 20 years down the road and trying to come up with a way for people to keep their information in a format that allows them to chose whatever office productivity programs they want. It allows choosing these programs on features, costs, etc. as opposed to being forced to use a a certain program because the vendor LOCKED them in.
Imagine buying a house where the contractor used custom screws that he or she patented, and if you wanted to removed any of them, you had to buy a special screwdriver that only he/she sold, for an exhorbitant amount of money. Would you want that contractor building your house?

- What has "the vendors who are attended...
- ... the ODF Summit were Microsoft competitors" has to do with the "fact" that the international business communities such as financial institutions, insurance companies, stock traders... let alone governmental agencies around the world -- in addition to a whole host of others which all require "unrestricted access" (and no lock-ins) to data and collaborative capabilities have in the recent past been left to the "whims" and "fancies" of a particular company from Redmond that apparently has not motivation to make the working lives of individuals as well as the "international business consultant" any much easier like the adoption of the OpenDocument Standards would!

- Opening up the market.
- I personally think that the OpenDoc formate is an outstanding idea. I won't say it's completly ready for prime time yet, but it has more promise than those formats created for proprietary reasons. I think that all companies that would be affected by this standard would want to play a role in it's creation and development.
I don't find validity in the argument that we should all just learn to live with Microsoft Office because of it's 90% market saturation. I don't like Microsoft Office and I never have. I don't much care for OpenOffice either. I use WordPerfect Office and I like it over any of those others. That is a personal preference. Now WordPerfect uses it's own proprietary format (based on SGML and DocBook I believe), but at least it hasn't changed since version 6.x.
Another thing to keep in mind is that other 10% of the market that doesn't use Microsoft Office may well be 1,000,000+ people. I don't believe any company should be force to use the OpenDoc format, but I do think that every company that makes an office suite should be apart of the OASIS group (of course by choice).
My thinking here is you have a chance to create a format that is open and free and would allow for one document standard that's backwards compatable and forward thinking. It's not perfect, but nothing is. It is one step closer to a Utopia for all computer users. Besides shouldn't a program be defined by it's productivity and robustness and not by it's document format.
I just think we have a chance to create a truly usable format for the interchange of documents that would allow seamless (albeit not perfect) interchange. I think it also allows people to use the software that suites them best and not make buying decisions base on a format.

To this comment I would like to add the feature/function of "XML I-N-T-E-R-O-P-E-R-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y with other OEMs which it is believe is a major board of contention between the OASIS Group and the Microsoft Corporation.

- Good Point
- Thats the point many people people keeping missing. No one is forcing anyone to use any type of document format or office software. What the commonwealth of massachusetts and other companies are saying is "hey, we are creating documents that we plan on having for decades, and we want them in a format that we know is accessible now and will be in the future".
I personally use microsoft office everyday at work and at home, but I know that if I want to keep a document around for a long time or if I know I need to share it with a diverse group of people, I chage things to a text file or a csv. ANYONE can read these formats which makes them fantastic for sharing information. What openDocument provides is the next evolution in these formats, by providing advanced funcationality to a format that again, ANYONE can read and use.

- Open format != open source
- The lead didn't SAY open formats and open source are the same. It said these two trends are happening at the same time. That's technically correct, and there's also a large overlap.
But I think putting the two thoughts so close together, and putting open source so close to the top, does a disservice by feeding into people's misconceptions that adopting OpenDocument might mean being forced to adopt open source.
As the article went on to say, Corel Corp. was represented. They intend to support OpenDocument in a completely closed-source product, WordPerfect.
Discussing open formats for what they are may not be as attention-grabbing as discussing it in the context of other trends. But it would certainly be more informative.

- Fair point
- We certainly didn't want conflate the open source and open format/open standard terms. And I do think the article makes clear that closed vendors like Microsoft can implement the OpenDocument standard. But in the interest of being as clear as possible, an editor will make a change to the lead sentence.

- A bloody good idea
- Open document is a very good idea.
It would be a difference similar to the Internet vs proprietry Bulletin Boards.
Remember the old AOL, Compuserve, Prodigy, or MSN networks. Well they eventually abandoned their proprietry protocols for the TCPIP protocols that we call the Internet. When you look at the measure of innovation that these old BBS networks had compared to an open platform like the Web, and then one may understand how an open document standard can transform document innovation. It's really simple to understand. An open standard or platform leads to much greater innovation due to the variety and sheer amount of people working with it.
How can you argue with that. It's simple mathematics.

- You make an excellent point. Standardizing the file format will fuel innovation that would provide benefits for everyone. And standardizing documents is only the tip of the iceberg.
We need evolvable standards for email messages, instant messages, blog entries, etc. Then the Internet experience will really get interesting.

- Information is accurate, you're mistaken
- If you are going to complain that something is innacurate, make sure it actually is. Both StarOffice and OpenOffice are based off of the same source code - the StarOffice source code. StarOffice preceeded OpenOffice, which came into existence when Sun released it into open source. StarOffice contains some features that are not able to be open sourced, so there are still some differences between the two.

- You may be mistaken on this
- OpenOffice and StarOffice are based on the same code most of which is written by Sun. StarOffice is simply OpenOffice with some additional commercial components. If you look at the contributors to OpenOffice.org and the managment comittee you will find that they mostly work for Sun.
In addition the OpenDocument format was largely developed by Sun or if you like OpenOffice.org. The chair and secretary of the OASIS organisation which developed OpenDoc work for Sun and are also members of OpenOffice.org

It will open the door to a document sharing while not having to worry about the readability at the recipients side.
This can not have anything to do with a move against MicroSoft, but have you noticed the response of MicroSoft?! It is exactly that sort of attitude that is the problem. Let there be an open standard for sure!
And then; have you noticed how nice and compact an OpenDocument is? Take a MsWord Document, convert it to OpenDocument and see the difference!
Anyway, the converiance of having a shared standard, a document that you are sure to be able to open on all applications should be welcomed by all and is long overdue.

Written By: Dan Portnoy
When Sean William Scott first came to the big screen it was in the form of Steve Stifler, an obnoxious, sex crazed high school senior in 1999's hit comedy American Pie. Since that first film, Scott has earned a number of comedic roles including two sequels to the original Pie movie. The work keeps coming in for this young actor. With four movies set for 2006 releases, his career continues to flourish. And this summer his energetic, upbeat sense of humor can be seen in The Dukes of Hazzard, a big screen adaptation of the notorious television series that is sure to thrill audiences through out America.
In the film, Scott plays Bo Duke a young southern troublemaker. With his cousin Luke Duke played by Johnny Knoxville, the two instigate and elude the authorities creating an elaborate game of cat and mouse making lifetime enemies out of Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds) and Sheriff Coltrane (M.C. Gainey). "It's a fun movie, it's easy to watch, I really laughed a lot." Laughs are not the only thing this movie has. There's action, suspense, and oh yeah, Jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke to get your blood pumping.
In their spare time, Luke romances the ladies while Bo spends time with his car, keeping it polished and in peak condition. Love for "the Dukes" car was something that Sean and his character Bo had in common. Although there was one time when performing a stunt the Dukes car, trusty ol' General Lee created a potentially dangerous situation. "The first two takes when we nailed it Johnny and I were screaming like little girls. Then on the third take I'm wisperin' 'the brakes are out, the brakes are out.' And everything was fine until we saw a bunch of locals that are like 'Dukes of Hazzard! Dukes of Hazzard!' and I'm like 'get out of the way the breaks are out!'" I guess sometimes you get thrown a curveball, and luckily Scott knew how to hit it.
Even still, he liked driving the high-speed auto, but in a movie where action is in large supply, it's not as much fun to follow the rules of the road. "What I liked doing more was the maneuvers. I like going fast, like going around a track and stuff, but I found it to be more of a challenge to try and finesse the car…but I'd love to do a sequel and work with the stunt crew again and do way more driving cause that was the thing I've enjoyed more then anything I've done so far."
What he's done so far has stemmed a great deal from his work in the American Pie movies. "In the beginning when American Pie came out I was just excited to be in a film, to be in a movie that people liked…" And like it people did. The first film alone grossed over $102 million during it's time in the theaters. Considering it was an R-rated comedy, that's not too shabby. "The great thing about that trilogy, the American Pie stuff, is that it's obviously opened up doors and given me the opportunity to do something like this." By "this' Scott is referring to The Dukes of Hazzard which he had watched as a kid, but hadn't been reacquainted with until he signed onto the film.
Another thing that Scott was able to get acquainted with was the shenanigans of his co-star Johnny Knoxville. "The guy was always playin around," laughed Scott as he thought of Knoxville. And believe it or not Knoxville was predisposed to sharing some of his unseen body parts with the cast and crew. Particularly his behind. "I saw it every day [Johnny's posterior], every day he'd have the right testicle out, the left one out. I'd be in the middle of preparing for a big car stunt…and right before we'd hear action, I'd hear 'hey Sean look over here.'" Lo and behold there it was the dreaded testicle. But it was those types of pranks and gags that made the set and the film so much fun to work on.
When you look back over the previous six years of Scott's career, you find that his movies share a number of commonalities which include him playing similar characters. "A lot of the movies I have done, all of them, that's exactly what they are [funny and fun]. We're not trying to save the world or win the academy award. Its just popcorn films and hopefully you have an hour and a half out of your day to just sit back and relax." In a lot of cases it's those kinds of films that in fact do make the most money and satisfy the most people. They're a good base for Scott to build on his career.
Eventually Scott would like to branch out into other genres and other roles besides comedic ones. "I think that what I've done is only a fraction of what I'm capable of doing." But wait does that mean no more American Pie sequels? "I'm also signed on to do American Pie 5. I'm just kidding, I have nightmares that I'm in another American Pie film…and there like dinosaurs in the American Pie movie, Chris Klein is riding a dinosaur, and I'm like 'geez, man I did a lot of those movies!'" So I guess that's a no.
As young as he is, it's more than likely Scott will get his chance to broaden his horizon's and fully explore his potential. In fact, in one of his upcoming 2006 films, Scott has a more toned down, subtle role in the comedy, Mr. Woodcock, also starring Susan Sarandon and Billy Bob Thornton. Until that film makes its debut, American audiences have Scott in The Dukes of Hazzard, doing what he does best, making people laugh.

Do you know the cradle ride?
If you're riding on the guys left side, bring your left hand to his right pec and bring your right hand to his right ankle. Pull on the ankle and he'll either go flat and be broken down or step up right into your farside cradle.
If you lock it up you can roll where he isn't posted.
Actually i do. The only problem i have is that when i go live they dont post their ankle and i cant break them down. Any tips?
Not sure if I understand your problem and what you mean by "can't break them down" with the cradle ride they ideally don't go "down"
They don't need to post on their ankle or break down, I thought. Isn't the point of it so they step their outside foot up?
But what if they dont step up? When they dont step up they dont go flat either they just base out hard.

At their Tuesday morning meeting, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors discussed a number of important issues facing the county, including prison and law enforcement accountability, adequate legal representation for low-income juvenile offenders and the possibility of bringing the 2024 Olympic games to the city of Los Angeles, among other things.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
Supervisors Mark Ridley-Thomas and Gloria Molina recommended that the board vote to appoint a Citizen's Oversight Commission for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The recommendation comes in the midst of an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice as to whether deputies have abused inmates in county jails, according to a press release issued by Ridley-Thomas.
"The seriousness of this new investigation and the allegations of abuse that prompted it cannot be ignored," Ridley-Thomas said in a statement. "The Sheriff's Department has long required a level of scrutiny that has been missing, and although the board only controls it's budget, the department is there to serve the citizens of L.A. County, and that's who should have greater oversight."
A decision on the motion was postponed for two more weeks, until the Oct. 8 meeting.
If the recommendation is passed, each of the five supervisors would appoint one commission member by Oct. 15, and the board would provide funds for office space and equipment.
Ridley-Thomas also asked the board to look into reforming the process for assigning legal defense to indigent defendants who are minors, another decision that was postponed until Oct. 8.
The contract for current juvenile indigent defense attorneys expires on Oct. 31.
Ridley-Thomas believes that paying a flat fee to these attorneys does not ensure adequate and competent legal counsel, and suggested that the board ask the CEO to determine what the costs of reform would be.
Ridley-Thomas described the issue as a "constitutional and moral imperative," in the motion.
The board also voted unanimously to consider the possibility of Los Angeles County hosting the 2024 Olympic Games.
The board will sign and send a letter to the United States Olympic Committee, expressing their desire to host the games, according to the meeting agenda. The county will also give it's full cooperation to the Southern California Committee for the Olympic Games in their bid to host.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors' next meeting begins at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 24 and is streamed on their website. Click here to view.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Police say their investigation of a shot fired by an officer at a menacing vehicle has been completed.
Police spokesman Jason Halifax said Sunday that the officer, Bryan O'Donnell, routinely has been removed from patrol pending a decision by the county attorney on whether O'Donnell will face charges.
Halifax say O'Donnell had fired at a sport utility vehicle during a chase Saturday night after the 16-year-old driver wouldn't pull over. At one point the driver lost control and the SUV spun around and faced the police cruiser. Halifax says the SUV then ran into the cruiser, prompting a shot by O'Donnell. The SUV then ran into the cruiser again, narrowly missing an officer who was with O'Donnell.
The 16-year-old boy is in custody and faces several counts of assault.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 17, 2014
Easy Office Phone, a leading North American provider of cloud-based business phone service, has identified five misconceptions many businesses face surrounding cloud-based communications systems and their security implications.
"Cloud-based phone is an increasingly mainstream choice for business communications, yet some companies are still holding back," says Adam Simpson, CEO and Co-founder of Easy Office Phone. "We believe the hesitation is often due to inaccurate perceptions, and we aim to change that with our education-based approach."
Below are five common misconceptions in cloud-based communications systems and security:
"With the FCC openly discussing the end of the traditional public phone network, the time to switch to a cloud-based communications service is now," adds Simpson. "It's not just a marketing cliché – cloud-based service truly is the way of the future. Businesses will benefit from adapting now, rather than scrambling to catch up at the last minute."

Coastal Bend fishing guides advice: 05.15.11
Chaz Garza
Start early at Shamrock Cove, using topwater lures such as a Super Spook Jr. In bone color. The winds have been lighter in the early mornings and you should find Redfish and Trout here. Work your lure slowly and look for tailing Redfish in this area. Or fish At night, looking for popping shrimp at the surface and birds feeding around the bridges on SPID. I like the Humble Channel bridge at Red Dot pier. Use live shrimp or a glow lure to target feeding Trout. Cast towards the shadows created by the bridge. If you'r throwing lures, let it fall deeper. The larger Trout seem to be near the bottom.
Chaz is a member of Team Oso Hardcore Wade Fishing Club. Call 361-939-9830 or visit teamoso.com.
Capt. Chris Fortin
Start out early throwing topwater plugs. I like Bone and chartreuse. In high winds I look for protected shorelines that are holding baitfish. Cut crab and cut mullet have been producing slot Reds. But Crab seems to put more scent in the water. Croaker are starting to show up at bait stands, but make sure you call ahead to ask whether they are sold out. Most of the trout we've been catching lately are in the slot range with a few the big girls starting to show up. If you can wade, the odds are better of getting a nice stringer.
Capt. Gordon Taylor
Fishing has been really good with the arrival of spring tides. We are finding some nice redfish in the flats and up against shorelines in about a foot of water using any color soft plastics. also look for bigger trout in the guts and drop-offs. slowly bounce your lures off of the bottom wiht a lightweight jighead. Any color will work. You also should find fish using shad and mullet for bait while anchored up in the flats and targeting the potholes.
Capt. Kevin McCoy
I would start early on the outside of Dagger island, using coraker for trout. Either anchor up or wade. If that does not work, then I suggest you head to East Flats on the backside of Mustang island. Target the edges of seagrass and sand holes for trout. Or simply go to the inside flats of dagger island, where you should find some redfish. They've been eating anything we put in front of them.
Capt. Len Girard
It's Croaker Time. With all the strong wind we have been having, it's best to free-line live croaker in the flats from Baffin Bay to Emmords Hole. Because the croaker are fairly small at this stage you should use the wind to your advantage and target sand holes in depths of three to four feet for blue ribbon trout, scattered redfish and flounder. You can also target the drop-off along the ICW in the same area of the Laguna madre, using free-lined live shrimp as well as croaker for trout and reds. I would use a No. 2 or No. 3 croaker hook.
Capt. Steven Utley
Start out looking for baitfish activity and redfish tails on any of the leeward sides of islands on the backside of Mustang Island from Fish Pass to East Flats. Fly fishers should try foxy clousers on No. 4 or no. 6 hooks or VIP poppers. Use natural colors such as tan in that clear water. Conventional angler can start wtih small bone topwater plugs. Later, switch to small natural colored paddletail soft plastics on lightweight jigheads or doa shrimp imitations.
Capt. Carroll Atkinson
Start in possum creek. Working submerged grass areas with a buzzbait, pop-r, a zara spook or floating frogs. Later use a carolina-rigged 10-inch worms in watermelon red along the outside edge of the vegetation. Also Try jigs and texas-rigged soft plastics at the end of points in depths of 10 to 15 feet at North Shore and 4 fingers. Some gaspergou are being caught in the dam area when you can find a relatively calm morning. You also might catch a white bass or two while jigging with a Gay Blade for gou.

28 February 2012
the height of hair
In our eternal quest to defy hair gravity, we find a new duo that helps master the trick.
The quest for volume is a tough one. One wants their hair to shine with health and moisture, but at the same time feel weightless, with just the right amount of body – it is our constant, everyday accessory after all. Considering the balancing act that must take place, Morocconoil's Extra Volume shampoo and conditioner has just exceeded my rather high expectations in the hair department. Already a convert of the cult product Moroccanoil, (and one with rather fine hair at that) I needed little convincing to offer myself up as a test bunny.
Lighter and more citrusy smelling than the Moisture Repair shampoo, it leaves my hair feeling clean, but not excessively squeaky, thanks to the conditioner containing just enough of the wonder ingredient, Argan oil, to sort things out in the shine and moisture department. The product, which maintains that it gives body back to hair, seems to do just that without losing moisture – essential for those of us with fine or long hair that needs some love during the dry winter months. Both the shampoo and conditioner contain an extract from the Linden plant, which works to plump up the hair cuticle, aiding the creation of longed-for volume while nourishing your locks. I can also safely attest to none of the drying and colour fading that can often come with other volume shampoo products. Perhaps this is testament to the fact that the product is also free of sulphates, phosphates and those nasty parabens.
If your locks are in need of a little extra moisture and volume then this pair most certainly delivers the goods.
Available from Moroccanoil salons.

Ibanez GRGM21M Mikro Electric Guitar; A Compact Guitar with Full Sized features!
Perfect for musicians of all sizes, the GRG Mikro is a serious guitar for a serious player. This guitar gives small hands the opportunity to wreak seriously big havoc or can give the seasoned player an excellent guitar to take where a full sized electric just wouldn't make as much sense. Ibanez Mikros provide a compact axe or the comfort of a smaller neck. Don't be fooled, this isn't a toy; it's a real guitar with big time metal features.

THERE WAS A HUM in the kitchen. At first I treated the hum the way all veteran homeowners treat strange noises. I pretended it would go away.
When it didn't, I checked out the usual suspects, the kids, the radio, the refrigerator. All were known noise offenders. The percentages were usually pretty high, that at any given moment, one of them would be guilty. But in this case, they were innocent.

Areas of Concentration / Programs: Environmental Studies, 2012-13
Haverford, Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore Colleges offer an interdisciplinary Tri-College Environmental Studies (ES) Minor, involving departments and faculty from the natural sciences, engineering, mathematics, the humanities and the arts on all three campuses. The Tri-Co ES Minor aims to bring students and faculty together to explore interactions among earth systems, human societies, and local and global environments. Students may complete a minor in ES in conjunction with any major at Haverford, Bryn Mawr or Swarthmore pending approval of the student's coursework plan by the home department and the home-campus ES director.
The Tri-Co ES Minor aims to cultivate in students the capacity to identify and confront key environmental issues through a blend of multiple disciplines, encompassing historical, cultural, economic, political, scientific and ethical modes of inquiry. Acknowledging the reciprocal dimensions of materiality and culture in the historical formations of environments, this program is broadly framed by a series of interlocking dialogues: between the "natural" and the "built"; between the local and the global; and between the human and the nonhuman.
The minor consists of six courses, including an introductory course and capstone course, and the courses may be completed at any of the three campuses (or any combination thereof). To declare the minor, students should contact the ES director at their home campus.

The Environmental Studies Interdisciplinary Minor consists of six courses, as follows:
- A required introductory course to be taken prior to the senior year. This may be ENVS 101 at Bryn Mawr or Haverford or the parallel course at Swarthmore (ENVS 001). Any one of these courses will satisfy the requirement, and students may take no more than one such course for credit toward the minor.
- Four elective course credits from approved lists of core and cognate courses, including two credits in each of the following two categories (A and B). No more than one cognate course credit may be used for each category (see the ES website for course lists and more information about core and cognate courses). For Haverford students, no more than one of these four course credits may be in the student's major.
- a. Environmental Science, Engineering and Mathematics: courses that build understanding and knowledge of scientific methods and theories, and that explore how these can be applied in identifying and addressing environmental challenges. At least one of the courses in this category must have a laboratory component.
- b. Environmental Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts: courses that build understanding and knowledge of social and political structures as well as ethical considerations, and how these inform our individual and collective responses to environmental challenges.
- A senior seminar (case-based), with culminating work that reflects tangible research design and inquiry, but which might materialize in any number of project forms. Bryn Mawr's ENVS 397 (Environmental Studies Senior Seminar, co-taught by faculty members from Bryn Mawr and Haverford in 2012-2013) and Swarthmore's ENVS 091 (Environmental Studies Capstone Seminar) satisfy the requirement.
Haverford students interested in the Environmental Studies minor should plan their course schedule with the Haverford Director of Environmental Studies in consultation with their major advisor. In choosing electives, students are encouraged to reach beyond their major and to include mostly intermediate or advanced courses. Additional information about the minor, including an updated list of affiliated faculty and approved electives, are available on the Environmental Studies website.
Courses listed here are taught at Haverford or are co-taught by Haverford faculty members. Other options are available at Bryn Mawr or Swarthmore.
ENVS 101 Case Studies in Environmental Issues
A cross-disciplinary introduction to environmental studies. Tracing an arc from historical analysis to practical engagement, distinctive approaches to key categories of environmental inquiry are presented: political ecology, earth science, energy, economics, public health, ecological design, sustainability, policy and environmental ethics. Basic concepts such as thermodynamics, biodiversity, cost-benefit analysis, scale, modernization, enclosure and the common and situational ethics are variously defined and employed within specific explorations of environmental challenges in the modern world. Limited to 40 students, with preference given to juniors who are declared ES minors, then to sophomores, then first year students (with a minimum of five spots reserved for first year students).
ENVS 397 (Bryn Mawr College): Senior Seminar in Environmental Studies
This capstone ES course is designed to allow ES seniors to actively engage in environmental problem solving by bringing the perspectives and skills gained from their majors and applying them to collaborative interdisciplinary projects. Prerequisite: Open only to ES students who have completed all introductory work for the minor.
The ES Minor Steering Committee determines the list of courses approved to meet the minor requirements and classifies the courses in two categories: core and cognate courses.
- Core courses are those within the Tri-Co community that are centrally organized around environmental themes and devote at least 50% of the class time to studying environmental issues.
- Cognate courses are those that have less focus on the environment compared to core courses, but nevertheless build understanding and knowledge of areas of inquiry that are highly valuable to the study and solution of environmental problems. While the focus on the environment typically occupies less than half of the class time in cognate courses, there is some mention of how the main focus of the course can inform understanding of environmental issues.
The approved lists are subject to revision, and the list published on the website immediately prior to each semester will govern which courses may be used to satisfy the elective requirements.

Doctor Recommended!!
I have a knack for the unexpected, so it is fair to forewarn you that if we are a good match, you're in for a wild ride. I am a Colorado native, a lawyer, and a licensed nurse...which means I can hypnotize you with either my love of all things environmental law OR a fascinating mix of over the counter medications! I can also mesmerize chickens, before preparing them in a fabulous cream reduction which I can pair with a great Merlot or a microbrew. I eat peanut butter straight from the jar, but if you're good (and don't have a peanut allergy, obviously!!) I can also make it into the best batch of cookies known to man. I can quote Quentin Tarantino movies by heart (I LOVE Mr. Pink, by the way), and consider a pint of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia to be a perfectly acceptable meal at least twice a month. My lifelong goal is to travel across Europe and photograph the scenery with a vintage Leica or Hasselblad by train, stopping in Belgium for an extended period of time and eating 5% of my body weight in chocolate. White, dark, milk...doesn't matter which kind of chocolate. Which is a perfect metaphor for the kind of guys I like to date...I'm like the UN, darling!! I get along with everyone!!! I am not a morning person, preferring to stay up late at night reading a good book, cooking anything that pairs well with red wine, listening to jazz, or having the kind of encounters that you have to order pay-per-view for. Weekends are for sleeping in, then hiking, or running, then lounging and taking a breather from what can sometimes be a hectic world. I am curious but reserved, refined but silly, nurturing, smart, and vivacious. I am known to sneak food into movies, and would love to show you during the next good independent or foreign-language film. Are you in?
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Cycling, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
I love dogs! I wish I had a little more time (and space) for a big, fun lab or golden, but I'll have to hold off until I move into bigger digs with a yard for that.
Middle of the Road
Hiking and cycling anywhere I can when the weather cooperates (and I have some free time) would count as my favorite "local" hot spots. Also, anywhere I can find good friends, great food, and something that gets me outside!
Anything that takes me outdoors, from hiking to walking to trail running to cycling. I also love to eat out and try new restaurants, wine bars, and coffee shops.
Hiking, hitting the bookstore or a good coffee shop around town. Taking a drive up into the foothills, or even sleeping in when I can...because taking a nap should count as a hobby!
A practitioner's guide to wine law. Yes..there is such a legal sub-specialty, and yes...it is somewhat fascinating.

LINDA JOAN SIDDERS, 52, of Lawrenceville died Saturday (11/11/2006). The body was cremated. No service is planned; Tim Stewart Funeral Home, Lawrenceville.On my trips to work I sometimes would take occasion to stop at a Kroger along the way to pick up some things for breaks or lunch. I've been doing this for years and at one point I began to encounter a Kroger front-end supervisor with a pleasing disposition who helped me at the self-serve checkouts. She began to recognize me and would call me "hun" as people in the South are wont to do. I knew her name from her name tag but don't ever remember introducing myself. Her bright smile and cheerful attitude distinguished her from the ranks of her fellow associates and her demeanor seemed to brighten the store. Most of the time, as I'm accustomed to do with any of my shopping, I simply found what I wanted, paid and left. But there were times she'd bend my ear to talk about her husband, who worked in that store as well, or some other small talk of the day.
I'm not much into small talk. I'm not much into talk at all. I don't like being on the phone and prefer to communicate by e-mail or other impersonal means. Conversation requires interaction, giving attention, really considering what the other person is talking about. There are times when I'm genuinely interested in the other person and there are times when I'm interested but trying not to be. Sometimes it's hard for me to know how far someone else will allow me into their life or how far I should go.
I didn't know much about Joan Sidders. She seemed to like working at Kroger; enjoying the company of customers and fellow employees alike. Most working stiffs are always looking for more money, going from job to job, but maybe she found there a kind of satisfaction in the relationships worth more than the money. I didn't know anything of her take on God or spirituality. It's one of those areas that's sometimes the hardest to get to know about someone. Now that I think back on it, I don't know but that I may have been impressed to speak with her about Jesus, but I guess the circumstances just didn't seem right at the time. In any event, I didn't and I regret it, if only because I suspected that there may have been the harmony of Christ between us as evidenced by her infectiously enjoyable personality.
And so as I entered the store this morning on my way to work I found a large poster near the front door with her picture on it and a blurb about a memorial for her this Saturday at the store. The notice of her passing caught me off-guard. She was a familiar face I'll miss and the strange thing is that I can't adequately explain it. She wasn't a relative and there was no special friendship or relationship, but the tie that bound was humanity. I guess it just causes me to think about the people I come in contact with, even the incidental grocery store clerk. Who do I know and how do I really know someone? I'll take another opportunity, in passing.

Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy Season 9, Episode 23 Title Revealed: "[SPOILER] Is All"
We're almost to the end of Grey's Anatomy Season 9, and with finale time comes big reveals. While Shonda Rhimes has made everyone keep tight-lipped about the big events, one clue about the penultimate episode was dropped today: the title!
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
According to TVLine, Grey Sloan Memorial will be hit by a "superstorm" in Episode 23, which is titled "Readiness Is All." It seems like the docs are preparing for the storm, which will hit in this episode, but the after effects will spill over into the finale.
Considering that there's a power outage in the Season 9 ender, putting "everyone in a terrible position," we doubt that things will go smoothly in the either of the final eps. This disaster is sure to make things chaotic, especially given that the docs have to teach new parents to breathe for their newborns after ventilators stop working in the NICU!
However, with trauma experts Chief Owen Hunt and April Kepner at the helm, hopefully everyone won't panic. Fingers crossed for no more casualties this season...
Are you excited for "Readiness Is All"? Tell us below!

Catch the next new episode of Grey's Anatomy on Thursday, April 25, 2013, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

I am looking for that special someone, to travel the road of life and to love and adore, with understanding and be supportive of each other's goals in life. My family is a big part of my life and I would one day settle down with the right partner and build a family.
