Volume one signed by Kevin Eastman and Steve Lavigne.
Volume two signed by Eastman & Lavigne.
And then there's…
Vol three is unsigned.
Let's make a deal. It's time for a refill on the prescription so I need to sell quite a few things!
Volume one signed by Kevin Eastman and Steve Lavigne.
Volume two signed by Eastman & Lavigne.
And then there's…
Vol three is unsigned.
Let's make a deal. It's time for a refill on the prescription so I need to sell quite a few things!
TMNT vol 1 #5 first printing, signed by Kevin Eastman & Steve Lavigne sometime in the late 80s. Signed also by Peter Laird earlier this month at Shellback Artworks FCBD event!
Picked up this Nathan the Caveman by Ben Bishop this FCBD and finally sat down to read it tonight.
Great story. I don't have the proper verbiage to describe it appropriately. I mean, really.
Great characters. Great feeling of them not just as two dimensional characters on paper. They could almost be friends or even a soft reflection of portions of my personal timeline, my life.
The artwork is awesome. I'm not going to post more, but if this in any way makes you want to read this… Track down Ben Bishop via Facebook or his site (bishart.net) and see if he has any copies left.
He is working on some new stuff and if I was personally rich and famous, I'd back all his work and have a house full of commissions.
Check out his TMNT #55RI cover (and prints) as well.
This morning I awoke 15 minutes before my 6am alarm went off. Bonus time for getting ready and getting out the door!
Managed to forgot my toll pass device but noticed before leaving the street… Picked up a folding chair to use while waiting before the shop opened…
Fast forward to about 7:45 am and I arrived at SHELLBACK ARTWORKS in Wells, Maine! To my surprise there was one out of state car already awaiting in the parking lot. Fast forward another half hour or so and the next three people arrived, friends from prior years!
Fast forward again to 11:30. We have all had multiple visits inside. The line outside isn't very long and it was drizzling.
We all chatted, my cat got a new fan on her FB page and then it was almost time…
First trip inside for my pal so he got his photo taken with the guys. I had some books signed by all and Ben Bishop signed all the prints of his I snagged.
My pal Mikey was outside braving the cool misty rain! Where the line was short (almost no on outside after one trip through and i was 3rd or 4th person upstairs!) I decided to try getting a round two taken care of ASAP.
My TMNT messenger bag had already been signed by Steve and I was able to add Peter Laird and Eric Talbot today (and I had 3 items signed by them both on one trio! I feel special! Lol).
This is my 2009 (re)print of TMNT v1 collected edition which features the first 11 issues, micros series books and I think, the Fugitoid one shot. Again, all signatures where there before except Peter & Eric.
I had a TMNT #5 signed by Eastman & Lavigne that I've been holding onto for a while and decided now was a great time to have Peter sign it too so he did, inside with the others!
Ben Bishop signed his Nathan the Caveman sc novel for me. Can't wait to read this.
I'm just going to post the prints and couple of sketches next. Getting late here and I'm beat.
These two books were an impulse buy… another friend (a few really) bought some and I thought, man I should have brought mine, but then picked these up real quick for round three…
And now, the prints…
That's all I've got. Check out the Shellback Artworks FB page to see other fans pictures and cool items. If you missed out, I'm sorry… it was a wonderful time!!
Shellback Artworks, Wells Maine!!
Steve Lavigne!!
Peter Laird!!
Eric Talbot!!
Ben Bishop!!
TMNT!!! Cowabunga! #FCBD2016
Took a ride today because I thought I was fully feeling up to it… Went to see Rich Woodall and pick up a BatMikey and a page from a magazine he did, that he drew me into the Granite Con scene. (A NH magazine, which I should see if I can get a copy online maybe?)
Also snagged his BatRaph…
Here's me, with Rich, his son and three dudes from Double Midnight in NH… I need a frame for the page. (No color… It's the artwork before that part…)
I also picked up some blank/sketch variants from Jetpack. A friend snagged a Power Rangers #1 blank for me too.
Then we had a quick bit and I headed off solo to Shellback!
Ran into a few friends, Robert (pic) and Ben (not pictured, his birthday today) and picked up a couple back issues and had Steve sign a few items.
And I will have to upload more pictures later, after I take them…
Picked up some decent TMNT books over the last few days.
TMNT v2 #13 error edition. Cover was printed incorrectly.
A solid copy of Turtle Soup v1 #1.
TMNT v1 #5 first printing… And signed…
Signatures of Eastman & Lavigne, inside front cover.
Excellent buy!
Full run of Deadpool #1 through 9, all signed by Ed McGuinness in May 2010!
Prints I picked up when I had a table at Bangor Comic & Toy Con, that are not for sale!
Batman & company by Rich Woodall.
Darth Vader & the Infinity Gauntlet also by Woodall.
Supertopian by Ed Smith (& Rich Woodall)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Ben Bishop!
Thanks guys!!
*Not For Sale*
This post is about the prints I purchased for Free Comic Book Day!
Jetpack Comics
Rich Woodall's FCBD 2015 Turtles print! Continue reading
So today is Free Comic Book Day!!
I went to Shellback Artworks for about 7:30 am! I was the SECOND person there. Kevin managed to get there moments before I did to score that first place in line!! (That's him behind the sign…)
I'm too tired to really put a lot of info in this but suffice to say, everyone had a blast!!
Last month when TMNT #44 hit newsstands, hype exploded that Donatello (the purple wearing, smartest of the bunch) was going to die!!
Obviously to those in the comic book world, Donnie wouldn't stay dead or really for sure maybe even ever have been dead. Close to death, sure. For a fictional character anyways.
I kept seeing people posting the books for sale for $100s of dollars… And people were buying. All my local sources sold out the morning the book hit. I had my copies of each boom, but no extras.
Every time someone posted in any and all groups that Don was dead, I came back with no, #donsnotdead and showed some reference pages that had been released of the FCBD (this weekend!!) issue showing, just that. #donsnotdead
So, with a few friends from the interwebs, we talked about doing some pictures of Donnie alive and well (so to speak) and take pictures of an action figure Don at various places!
I started by digging out a BUNCH of Donatello's!! And wrote a haphazard sign… Then started a group on FB for #donsnotdead (look it up… Lol).
Comic Books, Movies, Video Games, and MORE!
about pages with words and sometimes pictures
For those in the Greater Portland area who seek to be the church

Okay, So I'm very young and don't know very many people who do any kind of crafts especially quilt. My great grandmother did with a machine and my grandmother has tried to finish one her mother started before she died but she doesn't really have the time with so many really young grandkids around. So I need advise from people who know what to do. I want to hand quilt an entire quilt. The hole thing from start to finish. I have watched tons of you tube videos and about.com videos but not many people
Just so pleased with myself--I FINALLY got over the hesitancy I have about marketing myself/skills and made contact this week with a high school I used to work at to place an ad in their sports program for graduation T-shirt quilts! No orders yet, obviously, but it's a start! And I also heard from my LQS that she has a couple of small quilts for me to work on and display in the shop--along with my business card. The owner has been very encouraging of me and just a good friend.
Hello, I'm looking for scuba diving fabric.

Local residents and students tried to contact loved ones affected by Friday's deadly tsunami that rocked Japan and sent people scrambling in Hawaii and West Coast cities.
The University of Iowa has nine students studying in Japan. Six are in Nagoya, about 220 miles southwest of Tokyo, and those students felt the quake but their city had no serious damage. One on an exchange program at a university in the Tokyo area is fine and has been in touch with her family. The other two students, who are on programs not affiliated with the university, are fine as well – one in in Kofu, 70 miles west of Tokyo, and the other in Hirakata, more than 300 miles southwest of Tokyo.

This is a mystery for people who love mysteries: a good length, full of twists and intrigue, a focus on details while still possessing a fast pace. While it was too long to be a one-sit read for me, it was a book I couldn't wait to pick up again and required no effort to get back into. Whether due to the translation, original intention, or both, there's a lot of modernity to writing. This bothered me a bit, but made the plot no less absorbing and I imagine many readers will prefer it that way. The historical fiction quality takes a back seat to the pure plot of mystery, so don't expect to be easily transported to twelfth-century China.
But for those who are looking largely for an intriguing murder mystery with all the right trappings and twists with a little bit of historical flair, this will be appreciated. I don't recall the last time I read a mystery I enjoyed so much. Definitely recommended.
The character Cí, in this novel strives to learn about human anatomy and buries himself in his studies. He is forced to return to farm life after his grandfather dies and there is where his life becomes a series of experiencing one bad fortune after another. The book is definitely interesting and contains a series of twists. The author obviously did plenty of research of the time period for this book. I do think there may be times where the author has confused Mandarin and Cantonese, which some people (language students like me) will notice.
Ci finds himself in and out of the forensic world. Sometimes acting as a charlatan for a fortune teller to eventually working for the Emperor himself. The people he comes in contact with during his travels are varied, from deviant huskers to true friends.
Anyone who is interested in criminal investigative type stories and what happens to the human body after we die, should give this a read. This is definitely an entertaining book and gives a different view of the CSI world for fans of CSI Miami or the BBC's Copper. Fans of Chinese history will also enjoy this novel.
The end of the book has some information on how the author became interested in this subject and some background on the Song Dynasty. For those wondering, the story is almost 500 pages. My only complants about the book are the discrepancies in language and the fate of one of Ci's adversaries was never revealed. Perhaps this is because the author is planning on writing a sequel.
There were three key things keeping me from liking the story. First, though Garrido clearly has done his research and knows his subject intimately, there are plenty of weird anachronisms. For instance (not spoiling much), the sisters are said to have suffered a genetic disorder. Wouldn't it be simpler and more in context to refer to them as having been cursed with a wasting disease?
Second, I found the main character unlikeable. He is clever, but profoundly stupid. He is someone who should know manners and protocol, but consistently violates them - not in a bad boy can't be bothered with niceties way but rather in a bull in a china shop clumsy way. Though he mourns the loss of his family, he shortcuts rituals of mourning and doesn't seem to grieve much at all. I briefly wondered whether the author intended to portray him as someone with Asperger's, but I think it was just that the character lacked warmth, social skills and common sense. He also made the same errors time and again, trusting when his motto should have been "trust no one." I found myself feeling little sympathy for him.
Finally, the story failed me. It was fairly obvious what the motive was and who was guilty about halfway through. It was painful watching the hero blunder his way through. And, in the end, the resolution was sloppy.
I wish I could have written a more positive review.

MONTREAL -- If anyone were to say that UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez will stand toe-to-toe with Junior dos Santos, they would not be taken seriously.
That's anyone other than the champ.
Velasquez (9-0-0) was very serious Friday when saying he expects to exchange strikes with the top-ranked contender.
"Dos Santos is the best striker in the UFC heavyweight division right now," Velasquez said during a Q&A session at Bell Centre. "But I expect to fight everywhere with him -- on the feet and wrestle with him on the ground.
"I expect to go all aspects of MMA with him."
Velasquez, who registered a first-round TKO of Brock Lesnar on Oct. 23 to win the title, will make the first defense of his belt against dos Santos. No date has been set for the bout.
To hear Velasquez express his plan to strike with dos Santos (12-1-0) comes as somewhat of a surprise. His struggles standing with Cheick Kongo in June 2009 remains fresh in the minds of most observers.
Kongo staggered Velasquez on several occasions during the bout.
But each time it appeared Velasquez would be stopped, he took Kongo to the ground and controlled him. Velasquez would go on to win that fight by unanimous decision.
In his next two bouts, Velasquez faced guys known to have good striking skills -- Ben Rothwell and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Velasquez would stop each of them on strikes.
His first-round stoppage of Nogueira, who has above-average boxing skills for a mixed martial artist, earned him "KO of the Night" honors at UFC 110 in February.
Velasquez credits struggling against Kongo with helping him improve his striking game.
"I've made improvements," Velasquez said. "I looked back at that fight [with Kongo] and saw my mistakes and said, 'I can't make those mistakes again in my next fight.'
"I do have confidence now that I can stand with anybody and just mix it up."

Christmas in Seoul? Hong Kong and South Korea strike travel deal
Hong Kong residents can benefit from a shorter and smoother entry process to South Korea that started yesterday, just in time for the busy Christmas getaway.
A reciprocal deal struck between the two governments means eligible travellers can enter and exit the two countries using fingerprint scanners, sparing travellers the ordeal of long immigration queues. The Immigration Department revealed details of the scheme yesterday.
But only holders of Hong Kong and South Korean passports with at least six months of validity remaining are eligible, leaving out those with just a permanent ID card.
Applicants must also be aged 17 or above and have no adverse record on previous visits - such as overstaying their visa. Korean applicants must already be enrolled for its automated system.
Principal immigration officer Lok Wai-man said: "Usually, Hong Kong residents go abroad and queue up for a long time for immigration clearance. Under this new arrangement, they can use e-gate clearance in only 60 seconds and save a lot of queuing time."
He said he hoped the roll-out would allow frontline immigration officers to improve efficiency.
Hong Kong passport holders can sign up to the service on a dedicated section of the website of South Korea's "Smart Entry Service". However, due to its own regulations and criteria, administration and approval will take up to one week for Hong Kong passport holders.
Korean applicants can pre-enrol but must bring a printed slip to Hong Kong's Chek Lap Kok airport to finalise their application. No figures were provided on how many people were expected to sign up.
The move comes after the Hong Kong and Korean heads of immigration signed a memorandum of understanding in July to grant easier entry for Hong Kong visitors to South Korea.
The travel sector is likely to see an immediate gain. More than 170 flights operate weekly between the two places, with a million Korean residents visiting Hong Kong yearly, while 360,000 Hong Kong residents head in the opposite direction each year.
Under the terms of the new agreement, residents of Hong Kong and South Korea will be able to use electronic border gates at a number of entry points, including those at Incheon, Gimpo and Jeju airports in South Korea, and e-Channel facilities in Chek Lap Kok airport and Shenzhen Bay immigration port.
The deal aims to create more opportunities for economy, trade and tourism between the two countries.
Hong Kong is currently South Korea's fourth largest export market, following China, the US and Japan, and there are some 1,500 Korean firms in the city, establishing a wide social and cultural exchange.
The deal is the first of its kind for Hong Kong and Lok confirmed his department's discussions with European and Asian countries to sign more agreements in states where there are large numbers of Hong Kong visitors. In July, Immigration Director Eric Chan Kwok-ki said he would promote e-gates on his recent visit to Europe.
South Korea signed up pre-registered American travellers to a scheme last year letting them take advantage of smoother immigration access.
The Korean won has strengthened against the Hong Kong dollar to levels not seen since the onset of the global financial crash in 2008, putting more money in the hands of travellers heading from Seoul and beyond.

Pirate Bay Founders' Broccoli Manifesto
As the Pirate Bay trial stretches into its second week, the prosecution has changed the copyright-infringement charges against the defense yet again in a move that may have been calculated as a more surefire means to win the case against the BitTorrent tracking Web site.
Swedish blogger Oscar Swartz reported from the Stockholm courtroom on Tuesday that prosecutor Hakan Roswall altered a sentence in the summons describing the charges against The Pirate Bay founders Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Peter Sunde and Fredrik Neij and financial backer Carl Lundstrom.
Until Tuesday, the charges read: "The Pirate Bay consists of three sub-components: an index portal in the form of a Web site with search functionality, a database with related directory containing the torrent files and a tracker feature. The tracker feature creates a 'peer-to-peer' network of users who want to share the same file. All components are necessary for the users of the service to share files between them."
Roswall removed the final sentence from the charges, purportedly because the prosecution feared it would not be able to prove all three sub-components.
And on Wednesday, John Kennedy, the head of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, testified that the Pirate Bay is the No. 1 source for illegally downloaded music, saying that the music industry has suffered from a 30% loss in sales since 2001.
"I want Pirate Bay to close down," he told the AP. "I want some compensation and I want it to be clear people cannot steal other people's property without there being consequences."
The founders of The Pirate Bay, known for their eccentric following, just released a "manifesto" in English called "POwr, Broccoli and Kopimi," explaining what it dubs as the "Kopimi lifestyle" and includes such principles as "At a trial, deny everything," and "Don't think outside a box. Build a box."

MCT2100 DB-25 - Datasheet Archive
Evaluation System Motorola DTV Operation Chandler, AZ 24 November 1999 Executive Summary The second generation
Laboratory Test Report on the MCT2100 MCT2100 Evaluation System Motorola DTV Operation Chandler, AZ 24 November 1999 Executive Summary The second generation receiver/evaluation system for the MCT2100 MCT2100 underwent its first laboratory performance testing during the week of November 15, 1999. The laboratory testing was conducted at Sarnoff corporation by Motorola and Sarnoff engineers. The new evaluation system demonstrated significantly improved performance over the first system that was tested in August-September 1999. The programmability of the MCT2100 MCT2100 allowed optimization of multipath performance for strong echoes in the 1 µs pre-echo to +1 µs postecho delay range at dynamic phase rotation frequencies from "quasi-static" (0.05 Hz) up to 5 Hz Doppler shifts. In our indoor reception field tests, this is the range of echo delays and dynamic frequencies in which we have most frequently encountered strong echoes. The MCT2100 MCT2100 engineering team chose to optimize strongest echo performance for this parameter space in order to achieve the best overall performance for indoor reception field tests. Over this range of echo delays and Doppler frequencies, the Threshold Of Visibility (TOV) error rate requirement was met for echo amplitudes between 0.4 dB and 6.4 dB, depending upon the particular echo delay and dynamic frequency. Longer echo delays and higher Doppler frequencies demonstrated a reduction in maximum tolerable echo amplitude, to 9.6 dB at 10 Hz, 12.1 dB at 20 Hz and 14.9 dB at 40 Hz with postecho delays up to 15 µs. Echo delays longer than 15 µs and Doppler frequencies higher than 40 Hz have not yet been tested in the lab. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) degradation due to equalization of multipath was also tested for the Grand Alliance echo ensembles A-G. The SNR degradation varied from 0.3 dB to 2.9 dB for Doppler frequencies up to 0.5 Hz, increasing to 5.2 dB at 5 Hz. Comparison of tests based on measuring post-equalizer SNR vs. tests that measured TOV error rate compliance revealed that the adaptive equalizer can converge and provide sufficient SNR under more extreme multipath conditions than those reported here, but the TOV error rate criterion is not met under those conditions. This suggests that for certain dynamic multipath channels, the adaptive equalizer is not the limiting factor in determining overall demodulator performance In summary, these results demonstrate that the MCT2100 MCT2100 supports robust DTV reception for strong echoes at short pre and post-echo delays and low Doppler shifts most commonly encountered in indoor reception environments. For long echo delays and/or higher Doppler frequencies, the maximum tolerable echo amplitude is reduced, with relatively weak echo tolerance at Doppler frequencies of at least 40 Hz. 2 I. MCT2100 MCT2100 Evaluation System Description The MCT2100 MCT2100 Evaluation System consists of four interconnected circuit boards mounted in a connectorized steel chassis. The Tuner Board receives the VHF or UHF input from the antenna and performs channel tuning and fixed gain amplification of the 43.75 MHz IF output. This Tuner Board also receives the differential AGC control voltage from the MCT2100 MCT2100 for RF AGC and accepts DC power from the Power Distribution Board. The RF AGC gain vs. control characteristic is adjusted for optimum "delayed AGC" response between the RF and IF AGC. On-board voltage regulators provide local power for the Tuner Board circuits. The evaluation systems currently in test use an Alps dual conversion `DTV' tuner. The modular three-board approach, however, allows a variety of DTV and NTSC tuners to be tested in the Evaluation System by customizing only the Tuner Board. With the Alps tuner, an RF dynamic range of 38 dB is achieved with an average noise figure of approximately 7 dB at the low end of the dynamic range. The complete receiver using this Tuner Board has an AGC dynamic range from 5 dBm to 83 dBm, measured at the tuner input. The IF Board receives the IF output from the Tuner Board and provides fixed and variable gain for a total dynamic range of 40 dB, with an output voltage capable of driving the A/D converter at the optimum signal level. This board also receives the differential AGC control voltage from the MCT2100 MCT2100 and performs a 1-bit D/A function by lowpass filtering this sigma-delta modulated control signal. The IF Board includes one SAW filter with a layout option to include a second SAW filter and loss compensation amplifier. These SAW filters have a 3 dB bandwidth of 6 MHz, are centered at the IF frequency and provide the majority of the receiver selectivity. The IF Board also includes a band-reject filter centered at 88 MHz, which attenuates the triple-transit responses of the SAW filters. The board receives DC power from the Power Distribution Board and has on-board voltage regulators for local power. The Demodulator Board receives the level-controlled IF output from the IF Board, performs 10-bit A/D conversion and delivers the digital samples to the MCT2100 MCT2100 for demodulation. The Demodulator Board outputs an MPEG-2 transport stream in either bit-serial or byte-parallel fashion. The board provides the differential AGC control signal for IF and RF AGC and also has a "TOV" error count output that is intended for error rate performance measurement. This is a 16-bit count of the number of uncorrectible MPEG-2 packets, which gives an indication of the Data Segment error rate. The Demodulator Board receives DC Power from the Power Distribution Board and has on-board voltage regulators for local power. The Power Distribution Board receives input power from an AC/DC switching power supply located outside the Evaluation System chassis. This board provides power supply filtering and distrubution and contains no active devices. The Evalution System chassis contains a type-F female connector for the antenna input, a DB-25 DB-25 connector for interfacing to the parallel port of a laptop PC, and a dual-row 40-pin male header, for connecting the MPEG-2 transport stream to an MPEG-2 decoder box. A Windows NT laptop PC with an EPP parallel port is required for communicating with the MCT2100 MCT2100 Evaluation System. The MCTOOL software performs all control, monitoring and measurement functions associated with the Evaluation System. 3 II. Laboratory Test Setup and Test Methodology The laboratory setup consisted of a Sarnoff-built 8-VSB modulator, an HP Dynamic Ghost Simulator, HP Noise Test Set, UHF upconverter, HP Spectrum Analyzer, the MCT2100 MCT2100 Evaluation System and a laptop PC running the MCTOOL software under Windows NT. During these tests, the 3 primary boards of the Evaluation System were exposed on the lab bench, not yet having been integrated into the steel chassis. Great care was taken to ensure that interference from external ingress was not a factor in the testing. The pass/fail crieterion was a conservative Threshold Of Visibility (TOV) measurement. ATSC defines TOV as an average Bit Error Rate (BER) of 3x10-6 or a Segment Error Rate (SER) of 2.5 segment errors per second. Previous tests have revealed that the SER truly defines the TOV requirement, not the random BER, because the errors occur in bursts of uncorrectible MPEG-2 packets. The focus was therefore on measuring SER only. The measurement interval was 20 seconds for each test. A Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) was not available for these test, so the "TOV" MPEG-2 packet error counter in the Evaluation System was used. The number of packet errors was counted for 20 seconds. If a burst of packet errors occurred more than once every 3 seconds, the result was declared "marginal". A result was declared "pass" only if no more than two bursts of packet errors occurred during the 20 second interval. The accuracy of the packet error count, as displayed by the MCTOOL software, was verified with a Tektronix DAS Logic Analyzer, which counted the number of MPEG2 packets for which the MERR signal was asserted by the MCT2100 MCT2100. For formal data collection, this 'segment error' count was monitored on the software display 4 III. Laboratory Test Results Formal data was collected using a multipath test suite that is a superset of the Grand Alliance multipath tests. For those tests which required adding Gaussian noise prior to the receiver, the "excess SNR" measurements were taken from the SNR (mean-square error) value reported by the MCT2100 MCT2100. Single Ray Dynamic Ghost Tests Frequency (Hz) Delay (µs) -1.000 -0.200 0.100 0.200 0.300 1.000 15.000 0.050 0.500 5.000 3.000 1.000 2.100 0.800 0.400 5.000 1.000 1.100 2.100 0.800 0.400 5.300 2.000 5.000 Echo Attenuation (dBc) 1.700 2.100 0.800 0.500 5.300 2.300 3.500 1.300 0.700 5.200 10.000 3.400 5.500 3.900 6.400 6.300 20.000 6.300 11.300 9.700 12.100 10.900 4.400 7.500 6.700 9.600 8.700 40.000 10.800 8.500 12.500 13.600 12.600 14.900 13.300 16 14 12 10 Echo Attenuation (dBc) 14-16 12-14 10-12 8-10 6-8 4-6 2-4 8 6 40 4 20 10 2 5 2 0 15 1 1 0.3 0.5 0.2 0-2 Delay (µs) 0.1 0.05 -0.2 -1 5 Frequency (Hz) Grand Alliance Ensemble Tests Frequency (Hz) on +1.8 µs echo Ensemble A B C D E F G IV. 0.000 0.050 0.500 Excess SNR Required (dB) Over AWGN Channel 1.500 2.800 2.900 0.700 2.100 2.800 0.800 0.300 0.400 5.000 5.200 Conclusions The laboratory test results indicate outstanding strong echo tolerance at short echo delays and low frequency dynamics. With the optimized pilot tracking loop settings, the MCT2100 MCT2100 is able to track deep pilot attenuation, of the type observed in the quasi-static (0.05 Hz) multipath test. The laboratory tests also indicate that the equalizer can tolerate stronger echoes with long delays and higher speed dynamics than the TOV error criteria support, indicating that for some dynamic multipath channels, the equalizer is not the limiting factor in the system. 6

Aug 13, 2010I'm conflicted about The Good Guys: The funny parts are really good, but the dull points REALLY drag. As it stands, if I happen to be watching the show, I multitask on something else so I only have to pay attention to the good parts. I think it has great potential, but it has yet to be realized.
Awards & Rankings
"The Good Guys" isn't really good but it is OK if all you seek from TV is bland, comfortable entertainment--the same type of program you were watching 30 years ago.
Good Guys isn't a perfect construct, but it's a well-executed one--albeit more a breezy, busy diversion than appointment TV, placing greater reliance on guests than its limited supporting cast to prop up the principals.
