1. Here's a newspaper clipping from the North Mail & Newcastle Daily Chronicle, which is dated April 3, 1936.
The caption reads: "The wedding of Mickey Mouse." What?! Haven't Minnie and Mickey been famously "just dating" all these years?
It was put in to advertise a charity matinee being held at a theatre in Whitley Bay, Tyne, England.
The children's charity matinee The Wedding of Mickey Mouse, was an event that toured the territories of our British film licensees throughout 1936. This particular charity matinee and stage show was held in the seaside resort town of Whitley Bay. We also have clippings describing the same event happening in other theaters in London, Sydney and New Zealand.
3. So…it would appear that this proposal, while all so heartwarming, was actually performed several times over for audiences around the world.
4. Wow. As it turns out, Mickey and Minnie costumes from this era varied quite a bit.
According to Disney, "The 1930s Mickey Mouse Club characters from U.S. and England were home grown, mostly simple costume pieces (buttoned shorts for Mickey, a dotted skirt and hat for Minnie) with leotards and tights, made by a supporter of the club."
5. Despite having several public weddings, it would appear as though the ceremonies didn't really count for the Disney couple:
From Archivist Rebecca Cline: "The company's position on Mickey and Minnie as a couple is that 'Minnie is Mickey's leading lady and best girl' and that although as actors they occasionally appear on film as a married couple, they are not married in real life."
Womp womp.
7. However! Here's one completely endearing fact: The actors who voiced Mickey and Minnie — Wayne Allwine and Russi Taylor — were married in real life.
There's still hope for us yet.
- Hillary Clinton's campaign was reportedly hacked as part of what appears to be a broad cyber attack on Democrats.
- A federal court struck down North Carolina's voting restrictions, ruling they intentionally made it harder for black people to vote.
- Four people in Florida are likely the first to contract the Zika virus from mosquitos in the US, the state's governor says.

Bears | Marquess Wilson placed on PUP list
Wed, 27 Jul 2016 14:21:48 -0700
Chicago Bears WR Marquess Wilson (foot) was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list Wednesday, July 27. Wilson reported to training camp with a walking boot on his broken foot.
Fantasy Tip: Wilson broke the foot during minicamp and there is no official timetable on when he will be able to return. He could have had a chance to be the No. 3 receiver this season but probably will drop on the depth chart. Owners on most fantasy leagues can avoid Wilson in their drafts.

Bears | Jeremy Langford bulks up
Wed, 27 Jul 2016 12:12:59 -0700
Chicago Bears RB Jeremy Langford has added some weight this offseason to make sure he is ready for a bigger role in the offense in 2016, according to a source. Langford is listed at 211 but currently weighs around 220 pounds.
Fantasy Tip: Langford is expected to be the starting running back for the Bears this season, but he may be part of a committee at the position. He is coming off a solid rookie season and probably should be considered a low-end No. 2 or high-end No. 3 running back for fantasy owners.

Bears | Jay Cutler ready to ascend?
Tue, 19 Jul 2016 23:45:25 -0700
Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler had a decent season in 2015, and with Dowell Loggains promoted from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator, it could be another big year for the veteran quarterback. He also gets WR Kevin White back from injury, and he could have a late-career bounce back season similar to that of New York Giants QB Eli Manning, San Diego Chargers QB Philip Rivers and Pittsburgh Steeler QB Ben Roethlisberger.
Fantasy Tip: Cutler has a handful of talented running backs to take some pressure off of him, he has a decent offensive line and a top-notch weapon in Alshon Jeffery on the outside. If White can make strides in 2016 after missing his rookie season due to injury, Cutler might re-emerge as a Top 12 fantasy option at his position.

Bears | Drops are problem for Kevin White
Tue, 19 Jul 2016 23:44:43 -0700
Chicago Bears WR Kevin White struggled with drops during the offseason program. That problem will need to be addressed during the early portion of training camp.
Fantasy Tip: White is essentially in his first season, as his entire rookie season was wiped out due to a preseason injury. There will be growing pains, but if he can start opposite Alshon Jeffery and curb the drops, he'll be a strong WR3/4 or flex fantasy option since he has speed to burn.

Bears | Hot RB will be leaned on in Chicago
Mon, 18 Jul 2016 07:39:50 -0700
Updating previous reports, Chicago Bears RB Jeremy Langford, RB Ka'Deem Carey, RB Jordan Howard and RB Jacquizz Rodgers will be part of a committee in the backfield, and head coach John Fox plans to limit their workloads and ride the hot hand. The team wants Langford to run with a wider base and gain more yards after contact. Carey needs to build on his toughness and become a more complete back. Both figure to be part of the committee approach. Howard adds a bruiser skill set in short-yardage and goal line situations.
Fantasy Tip: The reporter scribed that it "promises to be hell for fantasy football owners." Langford figures to be the leader of the pack, but he's not someone you can depend on week to week unless he takes off from the gate. He's a high-end RB3 in fantasy that could be maligned to good matchups for a flex play. Carey and Howard are RB5 projects that you can grab in hopes that they become said hot hand. Rodgers has a ways to go before he's an intriguing chip in fantasy with three backs possibly ahead of him.

Results of the referendum held in the business center of London have been processed.
City men are against Great Britain's exit from the EU. This is demonstrated by vote in London City, where 75 percent of voters have said a firm "no" to Brexit.
According to The Independent, with reference to the recent survey conducted by the ORB, 55% of the U.K. citizens support the idea of quitting the European Union, which is also known as the so-called Brexit. Apparently, the remaining 45% still want to stay in the European Union. It is interesting to note that 12 months ago, the entire picture was the opposite.

Rest In Peace
For the past couple of years, TOTN has put together a December show to remember the lesser-known, but no less remarkable, people who died that year. Not so much Michael Jackson, whose passing was well-covered. More like these two fascinating folks:
Alaina Reed-Amini (nee Alaina Reed Hall) died Dec. 17, 2009. She had breast cancer. Many people remember her best as Rose on 227, but it will surprise few that my favorite memories are of her as Olivia, Gordon's sister on Sesame Street. The clip above is one of my many favorites — when she jumped double dutch on the show. I remember, as a child, wishing she was my friend, that I was the little girl she pulled into the rotating ropes.
Via my Facebook feed, I learned today that Kim Peek, the inspiration for Dustin Hoffman's character in Rain Man, died Saturday. According to the Times Online, thirty years after his diagnosis as severely mentally retarded, he was reclassified as a "'mega-savant,' a genius in about 15 different subjects, from history and literature and geography to numbers, sports, music and dates." Though he needed constant care throughout his life,
NASA made him the subject of MRI-based research, hoping that technology used to study the effects of space travel on the brain would help explain his mental capabilities.
He would read eight books a day, taking just ten seconds to read a page. He could read two pages simultaneously, his left eye reading the left page and his right eye reading the right page.
Two memorable and amazing lives that ended in 2009. Who will you remember?

High-power converters usually need longer dead-times than their lower-power counterparts and a lower switching frequency. Also due to the complicated assembly layout and severe variations in parasitics, in practice the conventional dead-time specific adjustment or compensation for high-power converters is less effective, and usually this process is time-consuming and bespoke. For general applications, minimising or eliminating dead-time in the gate drive technology is a desirable solution. With the growing acceptance of power electronics building blocks (PEBB) and intelligent power modules (IPM), gate drives with intelligent functions are in demand. Smart functions including dead time elimination/minimisation can improve modularity, flexibility and reliability. In this paper, a dead-time minimisation using Active Voltage Control (AVC) gate drive is presented.

Arbonne Protein Pancake:
2/3 cup of dry oatmeal cooked with 2/3 cup of water (about 1 min. in the microwave)
2/3 cup egg whites (I use the carton rather than wasting the yolks)
1 scoop Arbonne Protein powder (I use chocolate, but any flavor is fine)
dash of cinnamon
Optional: add either blueberries, 1/2 grated or diced apple or other fruit
Combine all ingredients and pour into an 8" non-stick skillet sprayed with oil over med/high heat. The mix will fill the bottom of the pan, making one large pancake. Flip when the edges start to come away from the sides of the pan or the pancake is slightly brown underneath.

This is a great plugin and am supper appreciative of the new version.
I wanted to make a feature request (or find out if this already exists) on how to allow websites to be added as downloads. Currently, the plugin adds the website no problem in the add download (backend) page under versions. However, functions, like get_the_download_link() and get_the_filetype() seem to break on such downloads.

Skip to comments.Clinton 51%, Palin 39%
Posted on 08/04/2009 11:35:12 AM PDT by DanZanRyu
If America elects a woman president soon, right now her name appears to be Hillary Clinton.
In a hypothetical match-up between the two most formidable female candidates in their respective parties, Clinton defeats former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin 51% to 39%, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of likely U.S. voters. Seven percent (7%) prefer some other candidate.
Clinton performs better against Palin than President Obama who in a hypothetical 2012 match-up beats last years GOP vice presidential nominee by just six points, 48% to 42%.
Women overwhelmingly favor Clinton over Palin, 59% to 32%. Men favor the GOP ex-governor by eight points, 48% to 40%.
Palin gets 71% of the Republican vote, while Clinton captures 81% of Democrats. Voters not affiliated with either party break down almost evenly between the two candidates, giving Clinton a slight 44% to 41% edge.
(Excerpt) Read more at rasmussenreports.com ...
I bet Clinton/Obama numbers were even worse three years out. Who cares? If Palin had a chance to campaign and debate, it is very possible we would see a different result.
great! arbitrage opportunity! sell clinton, buy palin.
As far as women are concerned, it comes down to the abortion issue. That is why Hillary is leading this poll. I think that even though Sarah is trailing Hillary, the fact she is within 11 points is pretty darn good, considering Hillary actually ran for President and campaigned and Sarah did not
Wow! Wonder if women are voting against Palin because she is sexy and pretty... I know the men are! (ducking)
IMHO, it is over for Hillary. If she could not win on Bush's exit, no way in Hades will she win after dems are done trashing the country.
So much for the characterization of conservative men as knuckle-dragging sexist pigs.
Well, that's only fantasy.
The only way that would happen is if Hitlary jumps off the ZERO EXPRESS slashes his tires.
More proof that 50% of the country are STILL idiots
Continuing growth of the non-white population is going to make it impossible for conservatives to get elected.
Oh heck, Bubba wins just because of the potential entertainment factor.
That scamp.
Tell you what: keep playing Hillary's "I'm sick and tired..." screeching speech over and over and you'll see a flip-flop on numbers!
I agree that it's over for her as a nationally elected politician. With one caveat - If Biden somehow finds himself off the ticket in 2012, I'll give you one guess who his replacement will be.
Hilary's no spring chicken. Thatcher was 53 or 54 when she assumed the role of Prime Minister. Clinton would be 69 for the 2016 election. It may sound sexist, but America is not going to elect a 70 year-old woman when they already passed on a 70 year-old war hero.
Seems to me that although Sarah personally opposes it that she did nothing as governor to outlaw abortion - she figured it was the law or something. Pro-abortion people don't have much to fear - we had Bush for 8 years and we still have abortion.
Palin has high negatives among Democrats. It's that simple.
I have a feeling that Obama will force Biden into retirement in 2012, and replace him either Mark Warner or Colin Powell.
what a stupid poll. Hilary won't run in 2012 and she'll be too old in 2016.
Clinton 51%
Palin 39%
Obama 48%
Palin 42%
Clinton 59%
Palin 32%
Palin 48%
Clinton 40%
Clinton 445
Palin 41%
Palin 71%
Clinton 81%
So Palin is doing much better against 0bama than against Clinton. 0bama's communist agenda is already starting to bite him in the butt.
And Palin is doing much better amongst independents than the media keep propagating.
However, Plain needs to work to do more work to get a heck of a lot higher share of the Republican vote. 71% share of the Republican vote is just not good enough if you wanna beat Zero in 2012.
But hey, it's early days yet. We have over 3 years to go. We all remember them polls that had Hilary already having the Democratic nomination "sewn up", back in 2007, don't we?
YUCK, it's a good thing I already ate hours ago or else I might have puked at that photo
The Twilight Zone Returns?
Considering she has not campaigned or even announced she is running for President, this is really good. Rasmussen seems to be a pretty accurate poll so I don't doubt the poll numbers, maybe they are off by a point or two. But the main issue with women is abortion. My Mom's friend, who is a Dem, did not like Obama but did not want Sarah Palin in the White House because she said "I don't want her to take away my right to have an abortion" so far as women are concerned, it's the abortion issue that tends to sway them away from Sarah Palin. I think Sarah has a MUCH better chance at beating Obama, which is why he keeps on finding people to attack her. I don't see Hillary running in 2012, she had her chance and blew it
Uh huh. Sure.
"Hilary wont run in 2012 and shell be too old in 2016."
Don't count on that. No one has more ambition that she has.
Anything can happen in politics.
Se wouldn't be the first Sec of State to become president would she?
Big deal. The earliest we could see a Palin-Clinton showdown would be in 2016, if ever.
The Governor doesn't make laws. Congress does. To end abortion we need a Conservative Supreme Court. You think she would not appoint pro-life SCOTUS if given the chance?
This could actually be good news. First, there's probably some buyer's remorse in that poll from Obama voters. And when you consider that the state controlled media have already shot their wad when it comes to Palin-bashing, she has nowhere to go but up.
Hillary the paper champion. She aws a world beater at this point in the last cycle.
People are not liking zero's policies, so they gravitate toward the nearest similar candidate. Makes sense to me.
I can't pray hard enough for Sarah Palin!
Pretty much.
I have a liberal female friend(I know. I know. What was I thinking?), and her number one gripe against Sarah Palin is "taking away her right to abortion".
Question is, who needs such a right which allows doctors to kill unborn babies anyway?
Not to mention the President Of the United Stares does not take away rights to anything.
What Sarah can do as president is to stop the Federal Government subsidizing abortions, or pushing a pro-abortion agenda like 0bama is doing, and of course appoint normal human beings to the Supreme court instead of racist, aborting loving pigs like Sotomayor.
"I think Sarah has a MUCH better chance at beating Obama, which is why he keeps on finding people to attack her"
Oh yes.
Nothing else can explain why 0bama's hatchet men spend 99% of their time and efforts attacking and smearing Sarah.
The little weasel empty suit 0bama is running sacred.
I thought I read about something she did that showed her being rather pragmatic about this - something she had to deal with as governor..... I don't doubt for a second that she is absolutely against abortion and of course would want to appoint pro-life judges and encourage pro-life policy.
I'll have to see if I can find what I think I remember regarding this.
You must be thinking about the "parental notification" thing... which reduces the number of abortions, but implies an acceptance of the notion of abortion per se (if melt it down to the core). But as already said... it was not within her power as governor to end abortion.
{As far as women are concerned, it comes down to the abortion issue. That is why Hillary is leading this poll}
With women on the East and West Coasts, definitely.
However, some evangelical women may be turned off by Sarah as well. These Church Ladies feel that Sarah is acting like an improper mother, being in the public spotlight. According to them, Sarah should be a homemaker.
Earlier this year, Palin rejected adding debates over a partial-birth abortion ban and parental consent measure to the special legislative session. While that may have seemed like a rejection of the pro-life position, Palin said legislative leaders have given her no plan for successfully passing the bills.
While she would have preferred to see the bills put into law, she had no guarantee that spending significant amounts of taxpayer funds on the special session would result in a bill that would be sent to her desk to sign.
I think she makes sense. Why spend $ on something likely to lose. There has been no politician since Reagan that I totally supported until Sarah. She is amazing and I hope the rats haven't ruined her for the fight. We desperately need her.
Are there really going to be many democratic voters after 2009? With the rate thigns are deteroiating I can't imagine that anyone would vote for more of this?
Women are voting for Sarah because she is smart, Conservative & good looking.
Absolutely! :)
Not all women.
My wife is 21, pro-life. we have two almost 9 month old twin girls. She is mostly apolitical. not really intrested in politics. but definately pro-life. and she likes Palin.
but a lot of the other people I know just shock me with their PDS and their almost instant crazy hatred of the woman.
Hillary is yesterday's news. She's overexposed, and she would catch the blowback from the abomination that is the current administration. I would not want to be a Democrat running for election in '010. Clearly, there is a groundswell building that will at least take back many House seats, and enough Senate seats to extinguish the 60 seat majority. It just can't happen soon enough.
Right. Obama will take a header and let Hillary run. I think I am going to throw up in my mouth now!
Poll after poll shows that Americans prefer a man President over a woman President and almost half of the woman have this man President preference and an overwhelming majority of man do.
Are these people women or drag queens? It's hard to tell.
"According to them, Sarah should be a homemaker"
A few maybe

|For the taxi company, see Borgnine Taxis.
The Borgnine is a bonus taxi available in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto Advance.
The Borgnine in Grand Theft Auto III is a modified Cabbie with a red body and bloody spikes on the front and rear bumpers, while the Grand Theft Auto Advance rendition retains some of the qualities of the GTA III rendition, lacking the spike bumpers and serving as the only other taxi other than the game's Taxi, being the only Cabbie in that game, making the vehicle somewhat special in both games since it is a bonus in both games and is a unique modeled Cabbie.

The Borgnine's handling is far superior to that of the car it is based on.
Grand Theft Auto III
- Harwood, Portland Island - At the Borgnine Taxis company, upon completing 100 taxi fares.
Grand Theft Auto Advance
- Red Light District, Portland Island - At the Hideout, upon completing 50 taxi fares.
- The Borgnine's name is a homage to the actor Ernest Borgnine, who starred in the 1981 movie Escape from New York as a cab driver named "Cabbie" in a prison-converted Manhattan; in the movie, Cabbie also drives a Checker Marathon from which the Cabbie and Borgnine are based on. The Borgnine's bumpers are perhaps a nod to Cabbie's hazardous profession in the crime-infested prison.
- Like the Cabbie, the passengers will pass through its rear fender when getting in.
- The bloody spikes are probably a reference to the 1997's game Carmageddon

Deflated Knicks Fall to Hawks on the Road
ATLANTA—How's this for a quick turnaround: 24 hours after a glitzy win over LeBron James and the Miami Heat in a jam-packed, celebrity-filled Madison Square Garden, the Knicks strolled into a lifeless, half-empty arena here, where they lacked energy and were beaten soundly in a 111-102 loss.
The glamour was gone on Friday night, and in fact, it was downright ugly.
With 43 seconds left, Hawks forward Marvin Williams and Knicks forward Shawne Williams exchanged punches after Marvin Williams shoved Shawne Williams while walking down the court. The confrontation was diffused after a few punches from both sides, none of which seriously connected, and the fight was broken up by, among others, Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire and Hawks forward Josh Smith.
Shawne Williams said after the game that he made a fist but did not throw any punches. He said the shove "came out of the blue" and that he didn't think it would escalate the way it did.
On the matter of a potential suspension, he said he feels he'll get a chance to tell his side of the story, but he wouldn't speculate further.
"Its unfortunate—nobody likes it," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said. "The league will interpret it...but it seems like in my opinion, [Shawne Williams] did not throw a punch—he blocked it."
It was a somewhat predictable loss. The team was without starting forward Wilson Chandler, who is nursing a sore left calf. Shawne Williams started in his absence and the rotation was not expanded, stretching the minutes for an already tired team.
Mr. Stoudemire scored 27 points and Raymond Felton had 21. The Knicks are now 6-6 in back-to-back games.
The Knicks struggled out of the gate, missing 10 of their first 11 3-pointers, and they were outrebounded 46 to 34 on the night.
Not even a solid fourth quarter could erase their early mistakes.
The Knicks' comeback began early in the fourth when they cut the Hawks' lead to 10 points with a 7-2 run capped off with a Toney Douglas layup. Shawne Williams missed a 3-pointer with nine minutes to go, and on the next possession Jamal Crawford hit a fadeaway jumper wit to squash it temporarily. With four minutes, to go, Mr. Stoudemire hit a jump shot to make it 102-97. On the next trip down the court, however, Mr. Smith drained a 3-pointer in front of the Knicks' bench.
Mr. D'Antoni said he didn't go out of his way to address a letdown after the dramatic win over the Heat. All five Knicks starters were in double figures, though they mustered only 15 bench points.
Joe Johnson, who excelled for Mr. D'Antoni while both were a part of the Phoenix Suns, scored 34 points with seven assists and eight rebounds.
Though the Hawks had two days of rest after a loss on Wednesday, they are not exactly rolling. In their last home game, the Hawks lost to the New Orleans Hornets 100-59. They had energy on Friday, however, and it was on display most notably in the second quarter when Marvin Williams threw a high alley-oop to forward Josh Smith for a hard, athletic slam dunk.
Mr. Chandler, meanwhile, said he hoped to play on Sunday at Madison Square Garden against the Detroit Pistons. Mr. D'Antoni said that Mr. Chandler, who is famously reserved, has probably been playing with the injury recently but did not say anything. He has struggled of late, scoring fewer than 10 points in three of his past four games.
The Knicks lost to the Hawks 99-90 on Nov. 27 in perhaps their previous low point for energy, which Mr. D'Antoni blamed on the Thanksgiving holiday.
Mr. Stoudemire was not on the floor to start the fourth quarter. He appeared injured in the third quarter, and he was down for two Knicks possessions until recovering a moment later.
An exhausted team was accented by bad luck—for example, with two minutes left in the second quarter, Shawne Williams missed four putbacks on the same possession.

Released: Mar 01st, 1989
Running Time: 70
Director: Joe Tiffenbach
Company: Le Salon
Cast: Nick Harmon, Rod Lance, Tony Davis
Critical Rating: A 1/2
Genre: Gay and Bi
A thin plot, loose editing, and occasional technical problems (primarily a second camera that slips out of focus) makes this video a disappointment. It's only real attraction are Nick Harmon and Tony Davis, but neither is strong enough to carry the production. Harmon projects a hotter image than usual as the narrator linking the various episodes, but charisma is still lacking. The concept of this vid has potential, but no one on either side of the camera is at his best.

X360A Review: Asura's Wrath
Written Tuesday, February 21, 2012 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
We have cause to get angry if we stub our toe or burn a pan of baked beans, so we can only imagine just how angry titular hero and demigod Asura must be when he's shorn of his arms, his wife is murdered and his daughter is taken away. And he's framed for the aforementioned murder to boot.
He's raging so much in fact, that his wrath is legendary. Capcom and CyberConnect2 have even gone and made a game entirely hinged upon Asura's wrath, fittingly titled 'Asura's Wrath'. But with so many QTEs, is Asura's Wrath worth your time and money, or will buying it have you frothing at the mouth and raging like the fallen god himself?

I don't think "hypocritical" is the word; it's not like TLG is admonishing other toy companies for producing war toys and then turning around and making their own. "Inconsistent" would be a better fit, although even that doesn't exactly apply in a clear, cut-and-dried fashion - this is a one-off set of a historical machine, from about a century ago, and doesn't exactly reflect contemporary conflict situations kids are likely to encounter in real life. Contemporary war machinery and such is a different matter.

Ugh, really? That doesn't bode well for the eventual return of LEGO Indy. I do know it was big in the US, though; hopefully that counts for something (i.e., the US sales offsetting the German ones), to the point it's deemed worth doing again if/when there's a fifth movie. Hopefully the fact any further productions will be set even later (and thus farther from WWII) would help swing it...
Anyway... wow, what a beautiful set.

I quite disagree with this being a reason why it is ok for WW1 but not WW2.
Quite strongly, contemporary war machinery and such is of the very same matter as it directly affects contemporary conflict situations and how they are played out differently to WW1/2 conflict.
It was only very early in the war they were mainly used for scout planes. After they started adding machine guns, that is when the majority of use for these planes became as fighters. Both eras of WW1 and WW2 used machine guns mounted on their planes to kill people in opposite side planes/strafing. Both eras had propeller driven planes (OK, WW2 ventured into jet but it wasn't anything that hugely contributed to anything, rather than a short term hindrance that was very short lived.) Both eras planes had the same basic design principle of structure, although WW1 majority had bi-plane wings, WW2 were monoplane.
Conflict of WW1/2 era? That was mostly aim your plane and shoot at the one in front of you and hope to hit it with your bullets, and either damage the plane beyond flyability or kill the pilot with a lucky bullet shot. Very much the same. The same goes for their heavy bombers. Loaded with bombs, gunner positions situated throughout various positions which point and aim at incoming bandits.
Contemporary conflict? Jets with mostly swept back wings that mainly use guided missiles with a bit of gatling/chaingun thrown in for good measure every now and then, chafe flares, proper ejector seats, air-air refueling for even further range. Contemporary fighting of this modern era?
Lock on and fire away. (ofc with the usual acrobatic dancing to get into that position first but it leaves a lot larger room for not having to have the enemy directly in front)
Missile coming? Throw your chafes out and move the plane the hell out of there
Bombing? Sure! Just load A-G missiles/bombs instead of A-A missiles on the fighter jet instead!
(And yeah, I do know that fighters of WW2 sometimes carried bombs, but this was not often as they usually required range to escort the actual bombers that were doing the bombing thus carried droptanks instead. And even less frequently, yes I do know about droptanks and bombs at the same time too, but very rarely used together )
This modern era couldn't be further removed from the comparison of WW1/2.
So again, if they can't do WW2 I don't see how they can justify WW1? Other than the fact there are still a few WW2 veterans alive today and it is for these people they are respectfully holding back, of which that I can fully understand and agree with.
So, failing my latter statement, bring on the WW2 planes TLG!

I love that the props are brick-built instead of single helicopter blade pieces, assuming those are even available, used on the first one. These are the kinds of details I like in sets.

This looks like a terrific model. The Camel is one of my favorite planes from childhood (thanks to Peanuts and Snoopy). Other than the working control suraces, what I like about this one vs the 3451 set are the tail shape, the enclosed cowling, and the number of cylinders (eight) that is closer to the nine of the prototype. The wings have lost the angled edges found on the prototype, but I am OK with that.
I am already considering how to modify this model to have a motorized propeller and machine gun muzzle flash (need some tiny LEDs). I hope there is some room inside.
Keep on building - Greg

Anyway, great model. A huge improvement over the first one. Probably wont buy it though.
That mini version is not bad, but it looks like it's carrying landmines on it's wings instead of the circle pattern. They really need to make a printed version of the 2x2 round tiles from the Pharaoh's Quest biplane.

An effort is made to provide an understanding of the practical aspects of the Lagrangian relaxation methodology for solving the thermal unit commitment problem. Unit commitment is a complex, mixed integer, nonlinear programming problem complicated by a small set of side constraints. Until recently, unit commitment for realistic size system has been solved using heuristic approaches. The Lagrangian relaxation offers a new approach for solving such problems. Essentially, the method involves decomposition of the problem into a sequence of master problems and easy subproblems, whose solutions converge to an ε-optimal solution to the original problem. The authors concentrate on the implementation aspects of the Lagrangian relaxation method applied to realistic and practical unit commitment problems

New Zealand could be without a genuine men's single sculling
threat for the first time in nine years on the 2013 world
rowing circuit.
Mahe Drysdale says Christmas is his deadline for deciding
whether to return for a ninth consecutive season - but it
seems unlikely.
In September, Drysdale told the Herald on Sunday he
was considering a number of options such as rowing at the
Henley Royal Regatta, doing a Coast-to-Coast or riding some
Tour de France stages ahead of the 100th version of the race
before staying to watch it.
Now 34, Drysdale was New Zealand's oldest gold medallist at
the London Olympics. His biggest fear is committing too early
to the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games and questioning the decision
18 months in.
After his bronze medal in Beijing he intended to have a year
off but, by December 2008, the love for what he was doing
came back so he decided not to take any further time off.
A New Zealander has been the world or Olympic men's single
sculls champion for nine of the last 15 years through
Drysdale and Rob Waddell. Drysdale's likely absence would
open the way for another New Zealand sculler to have a crack,
with Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan the obvious candidates
as Olympic and two-time world champions in the double sculls.
Neither has jumped at the chance, despite impressive junior
and under-23 single sculls careers. Sullivan won gold two
years in a row at the under-23 world championships in 2007
and 2008, while Cohen took a second in the 2006 edition and
is a two-time junior silver medallist.
"The single is not really for me," Sullivan says. "It was
more of a means to an end at the time. I would rather get
into a crew boat at elite level. Besides, I never saw myself
as a genuine contender to beat Mahe who is the world
benchmark in that discipline.
"I'm keen to go back in the double for Rio if possible, but
next year could be a chance to try something different [the
quad or sweep oar boats are his other rowing options]. I have
no idea how it will unfold."
Cohen is also weighing up how to approach next year. He talks
about the Rowing New Zealand selectors' "clean slate" policy
- meaning all spots in all boats are open to competition -
but it's hard to imagine someone of his pedigree being
omitted for enjoying a post-Olympic gold summer.
Cohen is already back training but will take time off before
Christmas for a spot of boating in the Marlborough Sounds
with his family. It's his first opportunity to do that in
years; normally it clashes with a rowing training camp. He
has also spent five weeks travelling in Kenya,
Uganda, Zambia and South Africa with his partner Jackie. A
highlight included seeing 'The Big Five' game animals - the
lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard and elephant - within an hour
of their first safari drive in Kenya.
"What to do next is probably the hardest question at the
moment," Cohen says. "We've been in this massive bubble,
focusing on one day in four years and you never stop to think
what happens afterwards. The last few months since the Games
have not been normal for us. Six years is a long time to be
in the double [Cohen teamed with Waddell in 2008 and Matthew
Trott in 2007 and 2009].
"I need to work out the best way to be a better athlete now.
There's no point continuing to Rio and blowing out in two
years. However, the selectors will ultimately make that
Cohen has enjoyed touring around the country since he and
Sullivan came from last to first to win their final in one of
New Zealand's most exhilarating Olympic moments.
"I've enjoyed going down south in particular," Cohen says.
"It's been a chance to thank all those supporters in the
clubs and at schools [sources say Cohen received a hero's
welcome at his Invercargill alma mater James Hargest
College]. Those occasions are probably the most enjoyable
I've had since winning. One time at an intermediate school,
all these kids swept around me and the medal was getting
thrown around. They really appreciate trying it on."
Cohen says he regularly watches footage of their final and
finds it hard not to relive every moment.
"Rowing can be a boring sport so we decided to make it a bit
more exciting than, say, the men's pair race [where
team-mates Eric Murray and Hamish Bond triumphed
comfortably]," Cohen chuckles. "I love the bit with about
four strokes to go when I knew we were going to win no matter

Welcome to Shippodo: Kakejiku (Japanese Hanging Scroll) Dealer
Shippodo was founded with the goal of providing the world unique, interesting, or beautiful Japanese paintings and provide information about the appeal that Japanese hanging scrolls have and their use in the modern home. For nearly 500 years Japanese hanging scrolls have defined the interior decoration of a Japanese home. However, with modern architecture and interior design, the hanging scroll has become endangered of being lost as a relic of Japan's past. We at Shippodo hope to revive the tradition of the Japanese hanging scroll and be able to use this traditional element of interior decoration into the modern home. Shippodo will also be dealing with various Japanese antiques not just hanging scrolls to provide customers a wide range of items to choose from. Shippodo also offers various Japanese tea ware and ceramics for individuals who wish to practice or do Japanese tea using authentic tools from Japan.

Hi there,
As a fire protections engineer, im more than happy to assist you in your question. I suppose the first question that needs to be asked, is what application are we looking at? Second question is what codes are we using, ie. NFPA 13, FM GLOBAL, Australian Standards, British Standards? They are all similar, especially when it comes back down to designing & sizing pipe work for sprinkler systems.
In terms of programs, I have a program called HYENA, which is used in the fire protection industry. Alternatively, I can do the calculations for you, for a fee, and provide you the results, including all node & piping diagrams.
my email address is email@example.com. Email me if your interested and I can assist.

|"Hellboy II: The Golden Army" opens July 11 in the U.S.
It was more than four years ago that Mike Mignolaâs Hellboy was first ported to the big screen, but the cast and crew behind the first film have gotten the band back together to produce the highly anticipated sequel, âHellboy II: The Golden Army.â Rising star Guillermo del Toro, who directed both films, helped save the film franchise from fading away into obscurity after the first filmâs production company closed up shop by finding it a new home at Universal Studios.
Michigan born Selma Blairâs breakout role was as Cecile Caldwell in 1999âs âCruel Intentions,â five years before she was cast as one-time B.P.R.D. agent Liz Sherman in 2004âs âHellboy.â In the first Hellboy film, Blairâs decidedly unstable Liz had herself committed to a psychiatric hospital to shield her friends and loved ones from her uncontrollable pyrokinesis. Liz ultimately returned to the fold and finds herself in a love triangle between herself, Hellboy and B.P.R.D. Agent John Meyers, but by the end of the first film, Liz realized that Hellboy was the one true love of her life and takes the first step towards learning to control her powers. Come âHellboy II: The Golden Army,â Liz is faced with a choice that could have repercussions for the entire world.
CBR News, along with other members of the press, spoke to Selma Blair at a press event last week.
Your character, Liz Sherman, makes a choice in the end of âHellboy IIâ to save Hellboy -- basically at the expense of humanity at some point in the future. What was your characterâs thought process in those few seconds that she had to make that choice? How did your character actually come to say basically, âScrew the world, I want my boyfriend.â And would you, Selma Blair, make that same choice in real life?
Yeah, the scene with the Angel of Death is actually my favorite scene, one because the Angel of Death was such an incredibly beautiful creature to work with. I mean, just watching that creature brought tears to my eyes. Guillermo actually had to tell me to stop crying, you know, Liz was stronger than that.
|Selma Blair stars in "Hellboy II: The Golden Army"
But itâs a huge moment. I mean, thatâs nothing any real person hopefully in this world will ever have that question, that one person would have that much power to ever be really faced with the question of, âWould you save the one person you love at the expense of bringing the Apocalypse to the entire world?â I would hope. But some people would like to think they have that power Iâm sure. But itâs a staggering question, obviously. Liz couldnât imagine life without Hellboy. I mean, I think sheâd give up her own life readily, but not without the love of Red. I mean, itâs a very selfish thing that she would do this, obviously. I donât know, sheâll deal with the consequences later. I just donât think she could believe it would be real, she just couldnât say goodbye to Hellboy. Itâs kind of a sickening thought, what will happen in âHellboy III,â what she will suffer, and what will happen to the world.
Thereâs going to be a âHellboy IIIâ?
God only knows. Guillermo will be very busy with âThe Hobbit,â but it does set up âHellboy 3â as a very, very sad piece of material.
What was important for you in trying to do more with this character when you knew that âHellboy IIâ was a go?
|Scene from "Hellboy II: The Golden Army"
Liz obviously had taken some control of her power. I mean, she saved the day at the end of âHellboyâ and did embrace Red at the end of that movie. So there was only one way for her to go, which was to move forward and leave her sad sack of a life behind her and become a more functioning, stable woman. So it was interesting to go move forward with Liz and play her differently. I kept wanting to play her as the Liz I knew, it was difficult for me to play her as a more stable girl. The Liz I thought I knew was really so much more hesitant and afraid. But it was great to play her as a more engaged woman in life.
How much have the fire effects changed in four years?
They changed a lot, I was surprised. When I played Liz the first time, I got to choose her fire, and it was blue, and I loved that. And this time I noticed the fire was orange-red, but that Guillermo said, âSheâs matured, so has her fire, and itâs different.â I guess they just didnât want to have her engulfed in a big blue flame, it would have looked strange. But yeah, I didnât know that I would really be on fire so much. Which I think is a really cool effect, I thought it looked really beautiful.
How much more confident were you in âHellboy IIâ in dealing with the special effects? Presumably, you had to act opposite a lot of green screens and such, and thereâs a lot more mythical, CGI creatures that you have to confront in this film.
|Scene from "Hellboy II: The Golden Army"
Well, whatâs so incredible about Guillermo is that you donât have to deal with very much CGI. Just the Golden Army really was the main CGI thing, that was the only thing that wasnât really there. And thank God, because once you create the Golden Army, youâre doomed, so thank God that was all in the computer. Iâm so lame, Iâm embarrassed. The thing about Guillermo thatâs so wonderful is, these are real monsters that were created. They were puppets, they were there, everything was there, everything in the Troll Market was really there, so youâre not acting against someone in a suit, like a green suit, or a tennis ball. The Goblin in the trolley is really there, and the old lady that eats the kitten, thatâs a real old lady, it was impossible to find! No, but, you know, when she turns into the Troll, thatâs a real monster, little Troll. And all those things were really done. It was pretty amazing.
Youâve also performed the voice of Liz in the animated Hellboy films. Do you have a preference between just coming in and doing the voice, or getting all in the makeup and the costuming to do the live action?
I like the live action, I like being with Hellboy. I mean, the animated ones, itâs great to come in -- you can be wearing your sweatpants and be a mess and all that fun stuff, but that wasnât Guillermoâs âHellboy,â that was a different person. Itâs fun still being in the Hellboy world and having anything to do with Hellboy, but Guillermoâs world is kind of the best one to be in. You get to walk on those sets, thatâs the fun, because Guillermo really creates it, itâs so much larger than anything I could ever imagine.
|Scenes from "Hellboy II: The Golden Army"
Tell us about working on a more traditional film after completing two Hellboy movies with Guillermo del Toro.
God, I donât know, Guillermo spoils you so much that everythingâs going to seem pretty mundane after you walk off a Guillermo del Toro set. How do you then go to sitting in a living room reciting regular lines after youâve been on the set of âThe Golden Army,â or walking through Bethmoora or something.
Youâve said you want to take a break from location shooting -- does that mean when Guillermo del Toro goes out to New Zealand, weâre not going to see you in âThe Hobbitâ at all?
I daresay I probably wonât be in âThe Hobbit.â I think thatâs pretty much a boysâ game anyhow.
Your hairstyle in âHellboy IIâ -- was that your idea?
It actually was Guillermoâs idea. I had really, really short hair at the time. I had shaved all my hair off, just for fun. I had really long hair, and I just gave myself a mohawk, as you do sometimes. It looked great, I loved it. I did it for a Vogue photo shoot, and I loved it. So I had this really strange Mohawk that was a little too extreme for Liz, so that was a wig that I was wearing in the movie, and that was Guillermoâs idea. And now I basically have the same haircut as I did in the movie. But, yeah, we wanted Liz to have a more mature look than she did in the first one.
|Scene from "Hellboy II: The Golden Army"
Did you like the clothes that she wore?
Yeah, they were really simple. They were really kind of a little bit Japanese action figure-inspired. Really clean and confident and just a really capable looking wardrobe.
Did you have a favorite scene to shoot for âHellboy II?â
I really loved the Angel of Death one. I loved having Hellboy in my arms like that, kind of a Pieta moment. I thought it was just a really strong visual there. I loved every scene in that movie, I love every time I get to be with Hellboy. Heâs such an amazing actor, Ron Perlman as Hellboy, that just getting to play with him is such a breeze.
In the tumor baby scene, is there just a puppeteer under the set reaching up and doing that?
No, thereâs a man in that suit completely, and thereâs a hand inside the baby, and then thereâs a lot of controls that are remote. You know, people off in the wings, tons of people off in the wings controlling all these things. But yeah, thereâs a man sweating profusely inside that tumor-baby man. I love that tumor baby. I donât want one, God, I donât want one of those, but I love it.
|Scene from "Hellboy II: The Golden Army"
Does acting in a movie like "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" remind you of why you became an actress, this whole idea of being immersed in a world of fantasy and make-believe, and working with a tumor baby?
Yeah, this is one of the good ones. This makes me really grateful to get to work with a director like Guillermo, and to be in a film like this, that I hope people are in awe of, and will watch many times and pick out things over and over again that amaze them. Iâm just really grateful to be a part of this story.
Now discuss this story in CBRâs TV/Film forum.
