Is it just me? or does this look like another version of the same thing we've already seen? Hello? "animated clone wars?!" Maybe George forgot he released this on Cartoon Network back in 2003-05'.
What the ****. Gimme something new.
It's a war. There's tons of material that could come out of it. Tons of battles, different planets, different characters to follow. Things that weren't covered in the cartoon network version, expanding on things that were. And rumor is that the first few episodes are going to be a theatrical release. New Star Wars in the theater even if it is old Star Wars is fine by me!
I'm most curious about the ARC trooper on the right. At CIV, it seemed like they are going to give the clones more of a voice (like the RC novels). That's the main reason, I will be watching. I don't know if Boba would make an appearance. He'd be like 10 or something, but who knows.
And I heard that some of the episode will have adult-related
content. is this true?
I doubt there will be any adult-related content.
I hope its good, I really enjoy the Clone Wars era.
What exactly would be considered adult-related? decapitation, killing kids and spousal abuse could be considered "adult related"
I heard it on Attack of The Show, so it must be true.
Even if it's true, I'm still watching the series, because it's
Star Wars for Pete's sake!
is there a release date on this movie

'"Shane has interest in the Sabres," Doan's agent Terry Bross tells Eyewitness Sports Anchor Shawn Stepner via email. "We have been in contact. Shane is headed home to Kamloops for a few days, then we will contact teams and let them know if they are a possibility. As of today, [the] Sabres are a possibility."'

In this month's Arsenal Magazine, we asked Gervinho a quickfire round of questions on football, his favourite food and and interests outside of the game. His favourite game? Best gadget? Favourite website? You can find out all of his answers below.
What does Arsenal mean to you?
Arsenal means a lot to me. It's a club I always wanted to play for, so it means a lot to me. It's a fantastic club, where you realise your potential and where you can really enjoy playing the game.
What would be your dream job if you weren't a footballer?
I don't know. I don't know because, since I was little, I always played football. If I hadn't become a footballer, I don't know what I would have become, because football was always my only passion.
What's your favourite food?
Rice with peanut sauce - the national dish of Ivory Coast.
Who is the last person you called on your phone?
That would be my big brother in Paris.
What is the most played song on your iPod?
I had an iPod but I didn't use it. In fact, I gave mine to someone, as I don't really like them!
What's your favourite website?
Google? I guess I'd have to say Google.
What car do you drive?
I've got an [Audi] Q7 and a Bentley.
Who would you most like to be stuck in a lift with?
Err, that's not something I'd want to happen. I've no desire to get stuck in a lift! That wouldn't be nice. I don't know.
Apart from football, what sport are you best at?
I don't really play any other sports. I like basketball and tennis but I'm not really into them. And I'm not that good at them either!
What is your favourite computer game at the moment?
Err... My favourite games are Pro Evolution and FIFA.
Who's the most famous person you have swapped shirts with?
Robinho at the World Cup. I wanted to get his shirt and I managed to after Ivory Coast's game against Brazil.
Which fixture do you most look forward to every season?
For me, every match is important. There isn't one particular game that I'd really like to play in, but I suppose you can say that any game against the big teams are a bit special, certainly when you're starting out. But for me, all matches are equally important.
What team did you support as a boy?
I supported Arsenal. Arsenal and Barcelona.
Who is the greatest player in your position of all time?
For me, it has to be Ronaldo - the Brazilian one.
Which talent would you most like to have?
Err... What talent would I most like to have? I'd like to be able to emulate the skills of Ronaldo... not Cristiano, the Brazilian Ronaldo.... And I'd like to have a special skill of my own, one that would help me go down in history, but based on the likes of the great attacking players such as Ronaldo, Maradona, Eto'o and Didier [Drogba] etc.
Who are your favourite band?
I really like an Ivorian group called Magic System.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source


text: Thanks everyone who listens to my podcasts for all your patience while it took me much of the summer to switch hosting services. The files individually are so large, that my old service couldn't handle the bandwidth anymore. So I did my homework and settled on a service that specializes in podcasting and promoting the podcasting community. Hopefully this is the last time I have to do this for a long while! Anyhow . . . SkateCast #57 with is Roy Blakey, a prolific collector of skating memorabilia who has been collecting for over 70 years! He has his own website that gives an overview of ice show history and highlights of the collection itself. He also was recently on Antiques Roadshow with one of his costumes for Sonia Henie. Thanks again for your patience and enjoy the episode!!

Want it, the heels?
Jessica Alba was just getting off from the car and prepared to go into the building for a show. Her yellow handbag may attract you for the first sight. But have you seen the red outsole black Heels of Jessica Alba? These leather-made slip-on heels are good.

Ok, this is not a DEFINITIVE guide or complete truth about the TEFL prospects in Hong Kong, but it is only something which I have observed myself after being in Hong Kong for the last 2 months...so here goes.
Education requirements -
Most organisations do not specify the precise TEFL requirement needed, but I would go with a CELTA requirement (although I have seen some taking TEFL online certifications).
They do however like experience, especially with very young children (teaching experience of Phonetics seems to be massive plus) or with educating English for use in Business users (this also seems to be a big YES over here).
Job Prospects -
Allegedly, on the websites and newspapers, there are MANY English teaching jobs (included in this is an abundance of Native English teaching roles). Organisations range from Schools or many primary school tuition centres.
Working Conditions -
LONG! My working hours are 9am to 7pm, Wednesday to Sunday. And I can tell you now that Saturday and Sunday are the busiest days of the week! Long, busy, but time does seem to flow by quickly and if you like teaching, I don't think you will mind. The kids can be a real nightmare, but you learn tips and tricks in how to deal with them along the way.
Personal experience
I guess I need to make things clearer now. I am a BBC (British Born Chinese) and speak the language in Hong Kong (cantonese). I am a Medical Biology Graduate with a CELTA under my belt.
I came to Hong Kong in June and have found finding a Native English Teaching job very difficult to come by. Fortunatly, I am working, but not in my ideal English teaching role (working for Kumon teaching English). I'm not whinging about things being unfair or anything, but hoped that this would provide those out there who wanted to follow in my footsteps with a better understanding of what they were getting into. Points I would like to make:
Salary - You're looking at about HKD$7000 plus a month. Apparently, Schools offer better working conditions but tuition centres offer a much higher wage (allegedly starting at HKD$16,000 per month!).
When to apply? - As soon as possible. And I'm talking about February or March! I've more than likely learnt the hard way but hoping to apply for jobs in Hong Kong in May and get one with a month or two. All the good jobs will have been taken.
Education Requirements - As I've said before, the TEFL isn't 100% specified...but my personal opinion would be the CELTA.
Note - I have been informed by many close friends that as of 2010, a PGCE is a must for many schools in Hong Kong due to recent regulation changes to teach English in Hong Kong schools...which I found to be a real shame. Again, salaries for these schools can range from HKD$10,000 to HKD$16,000.
Other facts - I don't want to start any racial discrimination flamming, but to increase your chances of getting a job in Hong Kong, ONE way is to be as non-chinese as possible )please bear in mind one way).
Imagine the scenario. If you are a parent in Hong Kong and you are sending your child to a tuition centre to learn English, you expect the teacher to be someone who speaks English, and what better way to do that than by having a Teacher who looks as non-chinese as possible.
Now please don't get me wrong, I'm teaching English at the moment and have shocked (with a little satisfaction) some of the parents with my English as they were not expecting this and many parents have encouraged their children to speak only English with them (which I do anyway!). But the point I'm trying to make is that the HK employer who accepted me saw past the appearance for which, I am very grateful for. Many agencies do not see things this way, which I guess is unstandable in a way.
So, a break down of my personal opinions about getting a Native English Job in HK:
1. - TEFL (I prefer a CELTA) AND a PGCE.
2. - Working Conditions are very long, but time flows by quickly during busy times and teaching is a real joy when you notice the students learning.
3. - Salary isn't so bad at an average of HKD$8000 per month, but bear in mind that the average rent in HK is about HKD$4000 for a single flat (bedroom, toilet, kitchen, living room = TINY), but living standards in HK are quite low and should be able to get by quite easily on the remaining wages.
4. - Your employments chances do increase if you are caucasian or non-Chinese. But it doesn't mean it is impossible for a Chinese person to get a English job in Hong Kong. It just requires more effort and greater networking!
Just my personal opinions! I'd love to hear yours! Hopefully, I can update this in the future with more about my experiences!

Ive been wanting to add a Para stock to my FAL for a few months now... I'm a Very Very DIY kind of guy, so I don't think it can be too hard. I just need a little direction here.
This is my one complaint about the FAL rifle: Its shielded behind a curtian of mistery!!! There is Very little info on the FAL on the internet... Its nothing like the AR-15, M1a, and so on. There is just not alot of info on the rifle, and what info there is, Its not very well put together. (sorry to hate a little)
__________________________________________________ ______
SO, here is the deal, I have a few questions:
Is there a step by step DIY FAL Para 'conversion' page on the interwebs?
Im guessing I need at a minimum a Para Top cover, Spring/spacer kit, Para Bolt, And a Para stock... Anything else???
Whats the deal with the front nose? Can I grind it in with my dermel tool? or should I just get a Top cover without??
Whats the deal with the rear sight? is it because it sticks out past the lower? can I work around this or do in need a new lower?
Whats the absolute cheapest one could do this conversion for?

I do believe in democracy and freedom of choice but I'm becoming so disheartened and angry with some of the names being given to children these days that that I'm really liking the idea of having a name tribunal. Here is how it would work in my ideal world.
When a parent registers a child, someone of impartial judgement, common sense and good taste with only the future of the children in mind, has to review the name and give it his/her stamp of approval. If a name combo is rejected, the "name judge" would have to write out a logical reason why this decision was made. The parents would then have to write down why they named their baby ABCDEY and if the name judge feels that it was a thoughtful choice after long, careful consideration, the initial rejection can be reversed. If the parents' replies were lacking in cohesion, illogical, lazy, insincere, senseless, offensive, ridiculous, negligent, unreasonable or had complete disregard of the teasing potential that their child may face, the original ruling of "name judge" would stand and the parents would be given a month to come up with a better choice and present the new name at a future time.
Some general rules that the name tribunal would follow:
(1) No name shall be given that would cause ridicule, embarrassment, guilt or shame for the child (an amorist means " a person who is dedicated to love, especially sexual love". REJECT.
(2) No over-the-top creative spellings that would cause eyes to water or brains to explode in an attempt to spell or pronounce it (Kehdyn and Zepplynn may be related). REJECT. Caden and Zeppelin - APPROVE
(3) No name that looks like a child punched random letters on a computer (I'm looking at you, Jaybee Z) REJECT.
(4) No name that emphasizes one child is more special than any other human being (I believe that all children are Miracles so one should not be singled out). REJECT.
I'm really enjoying this exercise far too much so I think I'll stop there!
Thank you for posting, Sabrinafair!All the best,

I've been busy upgrading my Boba but I've also been working on my clone armor these past months.
This is my armor painted up with the 41st Elite colors. I did some basic weathering and scratching. I plan do a couple of more layers/ colors of grime to match up with the shins (which I did first). After that I need to make some mods to my boots and weather those too.
I have a radio made by SEEKER to add to the back as well. I just had it off to paint up the armor.
When I have someone to photograph me I'll suit up and show you how it looks.
Let me know what you think! Thanks!

'"But I really thought the league was serious when they talked about making the calls – freeing up the skilled players, no more putting sticks on people. And we had good, mobile players. Maybe we didn't have elite players, but we've got a lot of very good two-way players. Our success comes from that."'

I have seen many photos and remained under impression. Just have a question - who has made costumes (Zam Wessel, Aurra Sing, Ahsoka Tano, Anakin, Amidala and etc)?
I know that here at a forum there is a master which made a Zam Wessel for Disney.
And who has made all other costumes?Anybody know it?

Stick Jacket fishing rod covers prevent rod tangles and are easy to use. Their unique braided construction and wide expandability means easy on & off installation. They may be used over large line guides on fully rigged rods. Unlike cloth sheaths, barbed hooks are easily removed. Stick Jacket rod covers are great in boat rod lockers, rod storage tubes, in the back of your truck or going to and from the boat.
Stick Jacket fishing rod covers are made of a tough polyethylene filament that is virtually imperveous to salt as well as resistant to mold and mildew. The braided materials behaves much like the old "Chinese finger trap" gripping your fishing rod for snug protection against unwanted damage to line guides, rod tips and blank.
Features & Benefits
Illustration(Circumference is the measurement around the rod blank and line guide - use a tape measure)
(Diameter is the measurement from the bottom of the rod blank to the top of the line guide)
Casting Style
Spinning Rod Style
XL Casting Style
Specifics: Best Fit
The Stick Jacket fishing rod covers work best if the opening falls between the last line guide and the rod handle. For rigged rods, it is best to attach lures to a hook keeper at the base of the rod handle or the reel itself.

text: Cheryl Hines must really want to be a Kennedy. The actress married RFK Jr. this weekend despite the fact that he has cheated on Cheryl almost continually since they started dating while he was still married to his wife. Oh, so since she did it, she doesn't mind having it done to her? Maybe she always wanted a free trip to Hyannis Port? Whatever story RFK Jr. spun I guess it was good enough for Cheryl Hines to stand up before friends and family and say I do. Do you think RFK Jr. actually laughed when they got to the part about honoring or only being with Cheryl? Maybe they just struck that line in advance so as not to embarrass anyone. If the tabloids found one long time mistress and Cheryl Hines was a mistress, there must be plenty more that are not talking or haven't been found or are waiting for a nice big fat check. There will also be others in the future. I thought Cheryl would walk away from the whole thing. It is not like she is the one who put down the deposit for the caterers.

Fox Nation baselessly claims Sotomayor "Wants to Ban Guns"
A Fox Nation headline baselessly claimed that Sonia Sotomayor "Wants to Ban Guns." The story it linked to reported only that Sotomayor was part of a panel that cited precedent from an 1886 Supreme Court case to rule that "the Second Amendment only restricted the federal government" -- not state governments.
In a May 28 headline [1], The Fox Nation baselessly claimed that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor "Wants to Ban Guns." The headline linked to a May 28 CNSNews.com article [2] that made no mention of Sotomayor expressing or indicating a desire to "ban guns." Rather, CNS News reported that Sotomayor was part of a three-judge 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel that cited Supreme Court precedent in ruling that "the Second Amendment does not protect individuals from having their right to keep and bear arms restricted by state governments." As CNS News noted, in the case Maloney v. Cuomo, the Second Circuit "cited the 1886 Supreme Court case of Presser v. Illinois," which found that "the Second Amendment only restricted the federal government" -- not state governments.
As Media Matters for America has noted, media conservatives have previously engaged in similar fearmongering by claiming without basis that President Obama [3] and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi [4] (D-CA) want to "ban" or "confiscate" guns.

The word periodontal literally means "around the tooth." Periodontal diseases, also called gum diseases, are serious bacterial infections that destroy the gums and the surrounding tissues of the mouth. Dental caries, or cavities, in the tooth affect only the tooth. Periodontal disease affects the bones around the tooth, the gums, the coverings of the roots of the teeth, and the membrane of the tooth. A dentist specializing in periodontal disease is called a periodontist.
If the inflammation is left untreated, the disease will continue and the underlying bones around the teeth will dissolve and will no longer be able to hold the teeth in place. Chronic inflammation, resulting from a periodontal disease, is responsible for 70 percent of all adult tooth losses, and affects 75 percent of people at some point in their lives.
As with many other oral health diseases, bacteria and plaque build-up is often the culprit. In fact, plaque build-up is the leading cause of gum disease. Other potential causes of gum disease include the following:
The following are the most common symptoms of gum disease. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of gum disease may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Consult your child's dentist or other oral health specialist for a diagnosis.
Periodontal disease is usually diagnosed based on a complete history and physical examination of your child and your child's mouth. Your child's physician will probably refer the child to a dentist for complete evaluation and treatment. At the dentist, x-rays (a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film) of the teeth may be taken to help in the diagnosis and treatment of the problem.
The different types of periodontal disease are often classified by the stage the disease has advanced to at the time of evaluation, including:
Specific treatment for periodontal disease will be determined by your child's dentist based on:

nemo did.........
Have we elected a neutral board member to run the simulations yet?
If I could re-draft now, knowing what I know about the simulator... 1st: O. Robertson, PG 2nd: K. Abdul-Jabbar, C 3rd: E. Baylor, SF 4th: D. Wade, SG 5th: M. Malone, C 6th: S. Haywood, PF That team would roll in this stupid simulator.
I wouldn't bet against that team in real life.
Perhaps it has to do with those players having incredible seasons, not that it is a stupid simulator....
For the record, I think the 8 of us should just vote on matchups. This simulator seems to lead to entirely random outcomes when even moderately competitive teams are matched up against one another. I just put together a team of the 12 most expensive players in the simulator (C: Wilt, Kareem, Moses, PF: Haywood, Duncan, SF: LeBron, Erving, SG: Jordan, Kobe, PG: Oscar, Nate, Wade). Then I put together a team of who I view as the 12 best players of all-time (C: Wilt, Russell, Shaq, PF: Duncan, Malone, SF: LeBron, Bird, SG: Jordan, Kobe, PG: Oscar, Magic, West). My personal best team beat the simulator's best team 30-20. It's completely random. See for yourselves. Play the same team against itself 50 times (25 home, 25 away). Then do it again. Then do it again. Completely random. Let's just vote.
If the current Pistons squad beat either of those all-star teams 50% of the time, then I would agree the simulator is completely random. As it is, it sounds like you're playing teams with very little difference in quality and so it's unclear exactly what swung the outcome. That sounds about the same as every fantasy sport league we have. Some luck is involved. Let's just have fun with it. Voting will inevitably result in bad feelings.
Simulators are never random. Put 6 charlie v's against an all star team. If they win one game, then we know that Charlie V is the GOAT
Let's stick with the simulator. Voting takes the fun out of it. When a result of a matchup is perceived to be bogus, then we can all get mad at some stupid piece of software instead of each other.
I'm totally open to using a better sim if there is one.
Okay, so I entered a couple of our teams into the simulator. Since it requires you to enter exactly 12 players, I entered the top two seasons of each player. Here is what Lamebrane's team looks like: Here is my team:
once i saw a list with Greg Monroe number 3 , .....OY!!!!!!! ANYYYway...Ive been watching basketball since 1969 so here are my 15 BEST PLAYERS (in spite of injury and based ON being the best or MOST original at what they did) that I ever saw: 1. LARRY BIRD 2. EARVIN JOHNSON 3. MICHEAL JORDAN 4. BERNARD KING 5. AKEEM OLAJUWON 6. ISIAH THOMAS 7. LEBRON JAMES 8. KAREEM ABDUL JABBAR 9. BILL WALTON 10. KOBE BRYANT 11. SHAQUILLE O NEAL 12.CHARLES BARKLEY 13. RICK BARRY 14. GRANT HILL 15. PETE MARAVICH
I did the same thing on Monday, using almost exactly the same seasons (I used 94-95 Rodman instead of 93-94, 9-10 Howard instead of 07-08, and 02-03 Wallace instead of 01-02, and gave you 60-61 Bob Pettit instead of 63-64). In 25 sims, I went 15-10 (all away games). What did you get?
I did 10 sims (5 home, 5 away) and you won 6-4. I don't think I set the minutes correctly, though, for my team. First, it gave me an error message because it was trying to start Elgin Baylor at both SG and SF. I think having two Michael Jordans playing at the same time gave your team an unfair advantage.
Make all the teams have the same home arena, and play all games there. I suggest the Palace. All teams should submit which two years they want their players to use and which year is the starter and thebackup. Then each team could submit how many minutes they want each player to play. If a GM doesn't want to go to the trouble, the default settings could be the top year as ranked by the simulator is the starter, and the starter gets all the minutes.
The home and away thing still makes a difference, even if both arenas are the same. I suggest at least 50 simulations total per matchup, 25 home, 25 away. Maybe even better... It's a 7-game series. 10 simulations = 1 game. Higher seed gets games 1, 2, 5, 7 at home.
There's a problem with doubling up players. When you set your lineup, it's impossible to tell which Jerry West you're starting and giving more minutes to, and which Jerry West you want coming off the bench and playing less minutes. Gonna have to go with the '12 Pistons as our reserves. Give them 0 minutes. PG: B. Knight SG: B. Gordon SF: T. Prince PF: J. Maxiel C: G. Monroe 12th: R. Stuckey
The problem is, even though you still set their minutes at zero, it gives those guys some minutes. Maybe we should draft another 6 rounds? We have nothing better to do.
Honestly. This gets so complicated setting up the bench. We should just pick our 5 starters. Give them all 48 minutes. Throw your sixth man into the mix with the '11-12 Pistons (Knight, Gordon, Prince, Maxiel, Monroe, Stuckey). Don't even list anyone on there as backups.
I'm certainly not opposed to that...

Joe Satriani-Surfing With the Alien 25th anniversary pt 1
From 1984 until 1990 it was a dismal time for Rolling Stones fans with the band on indefinite hiatus, but one great thing emerged from Mick Jagger's haunting of New York City's rock clubs looking for suitable replacements. Jagger launched the careers of Vernon Reid and Living Colour, and separately, an unknown six stringer Long Islander-by-way-of-San Francisco fret phenom named Joe Satriani. The mult-million copy sale of Satriani's 1987 second all-guitar album Surfing With the Alien effectively closed an era in contemporary music where the rock "guitar god" had become self-consciously cliched, supplanted for the first time in rock music history by the versatile electronic keyboard. Joe Satriani's Surfing with the Alien didn't merely open the door for the re-emergence of rock guitar, it kicked it in. Part one of two. –Redbeard

Hair of the body. Nasal hairs should not be grown long. (In the origin story to this rule, people objected to bhikkhus with long nasal hairs "like goblins"). Tweezers are allowed for pulling them out; by extension, scissors should also be allowed for trimming them. The Vinaya-mukha notes that nasal hair performs a useful function in keeping dust out of the lungs, and so interprets this rule as applying only to nasal hairs so long that they grow outside the nostrils.
The hair of the chest or stomach should not be dressed. Hair in a "confining" region — which the Vibhaṅga to the bhikkhunī's parallel rule, their Pc 2, identifies as the armpits and the pubic area — should not be removed unless there is a sore in those areas and a need to apply medicine.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain spoke to Arsenal Player after Tuesday's game against Shrewsbury and you can watch the video clip now by clicking on the link to the right.
Alternatively, scroll down this page for a transcript of this exclusive interview.
Alex, how much did Arsenal need that win?
It was a massive game for us. Even though you may say it is against lesser opposition, we still had to bounce back from the result at the weekend, put a statement down and make sure we qualified for the next round. With a younger, less experienced squad we did that tonight.
What were the thoughts when we went 1-0 down early on?
Some people may think 'here we go again' but we knew we had what it took to win the game tonight. Maybe it was a bit sloppy at the back or we weren't switched on. The gaffer said we had to stay together and keep plugging away. The longer we kept the pace of our game, we thought they would die out and we showed that by controlling the second half.
You put the team in front with your first goal for the Club, talk us through it...
I received the ball, it opened up for me and I thought I would try my luck. Luckily enough it went in and I'm delighted. I haven't been on the bench as much as I would have liked recently and that is due to some quality signings. I forgot what it felt like to be out there. I came back here before the game this evening, walked out on the pitch and realised what a big stage it is. Straight away I was excited about the game and it was brilliant to be involved. I gave it my all tonight and I hope I did well.
Arsenal got all the way to the final of the Carling Cup last season, what do you think this squad can achieve?
I think it is a really good squad. I think we just need to keep plugging away and it will come right for us. There are a lot of quality, quality signings here and a lot of quality in the boys that are already here. We just need to gel together now and kick on. I think we have what it takes to get to the final in this competition and put in a good claim in the Premier League and the FA Cup too.

darcs is a peer-to-peer revision control system, written in Haskell.
1 Understanding darcs
You can think of a darcs repository as containing these things:
- Patches: a patch is a collection of changes that forms the unit of synchronisation with other repositories
- Unrecorded changes to known files and directories
- Unknown items (files and directories)
- Boring items: anything with a name matched in _darcs/prefs/boring
Note that some projects are keen on making sure all derivative items are "boring" rather than merely unknown items that will show up with darcs wh -l. Other projects less so.
2 Operations
2.1 Unknown items
- darcs whatsnew -l: show changes and unknown items
- creating a item: add item to the unknown items.
- darcs add: convert the unknown item into a change to create the item and its contents
- darcs remove: add a change to empty the item and delete it but keep it as an unknown item.
2.2 Changes
- darcs whatsnew: show unrecorded changes
- removing an item: add a change to remove the item
- editing a file: add a change for the edit
- darcs mv: add a change to move an item
- darcs replace: add a change to replace text in a file
- darcs record: record changes to add a patch
- darcs unrecord: remove a patch by turning back it into unrecorded changes
- darcs amend-record: replace a patch with one with added changes
- darcs revert: remove changes
2.3 Patches
- darcs changes: show patches
- darcs send: make an email bundle from patches, and optionally send it
- darcs pull: add patches from another repository
- darcs push: add patches from this repository to another repository
- darcs apply: add patches from an email bundle
- darcs rollback: add a patch that is the inverse of an existing patch
- darcs obliterate: remove a patch. Warning: if the patch doesn't exist elsewhere, you will lose that work.
- darcs tag: add a tag for the current set of patches
2.4 Repositories
- darcs initialize: create a new empty repository
- darcs get: create a new empty repository and add patches from another repository

Plant Collecting
- What is a well made plant collection?
- How to write good field notes
About Plant Collecting
Preserved plant specimens give us information about plant diversity and distribution. A good plant collection is of lasting benefit. It is like a 3-D photograph, representing information that is frozen in time and made available for all time. People still study specimens collected in the 1600s. This means that your specimens might still be studied in 2400 A.D.
Plant specimens can be stored in a special 'library' called an herbarium. The Intermountain Herbarium at the Utah State University in Logan is one of these. You can make your own herbarium of plants you have found. Or you can even help develop an herbarium for your school or county.
Activity: Use the term "plant collecting" to search the web for other interesting sites about plant collecting.
Plant specimens will rot unless they are preserved properly. They can be pickled, frozen or bottled, but an easy (and cheap) way to preserve most plants is to press and dry them. This must be done well if plants are to be identified, stored, displayed or used for research.

Alicia writes,
Hi there,
long time listener, first time writer. I was just wondering, am I missing something really crucial? I've been reading in the news about Europe's "E.coli virus" everywhere. I have to assume that people are just mis-speaking and they mean illness not virus, but maybe there is a virus of E.coli that is released from the bacteria and are causing some sort of double whammy illness in folks.
Do you happen to know any more about this than I do?
D writes:
Those of us who teach (undergraduate) diagnostic microbiology are sometimes caught in a dilemma.
On one hand, we need to teach students to process cultures (urines, throats, sputums, blood, stool, etc) and identify organisms that are commonly associated with those specimens..and we all know there are some potential pathogens in the mix.
On the other, we don't want to any kind of exposure incidences.
What recommendations can you guys make about how to handle this situation. We want to keep it "real." We feel the student will work with the organisms on an internship and then once they graduate so we want to make sure they are well prepared. We all wear PPE (gowns, gloves), practice good hand hygiene, and have a Class IIA safety cabinet. I haven't had (knock, knock, knock) any incidences, but I still worry.
Casey writes:
I wanted to ask about a comment made by Cliff regarding Salmonella and potato salads. Working from memory, which I apologize if I am wrong, he talked about performing a fun experiment with Salmonella and potato salad. From my understanding, food poisoning from potato salad is not Salmonella sp. at all. Instead, food poisoning from potato salad is typically Staphylococcus aureus exotoxin B. So saying that Salmonella is not typically found in potato salad is true, but it can be misleading because you can still get food poisoning from potato salad with S. aureus. I guess that is not really a question, but truly more of a comment.

Several years ago in Saudi Arabia a fire at a girls' school resulted in several deaths due to inability of responding to the fire call because of gates that protected the school against male intrusion. Principals of girls' schools in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia have been instructed to contact the Civil Defense in order to voice concerns over safety violations in school buildings. Lt. Hamad Al-Juaid, chief of Civil Defense admitted there were many safety loopholes in those schools, but blamed the Girls' Education Department which refused to allow his men into the schools to deal with violations.
The Civil Defense made clear girls' schools are vulnerable to fire which could resist in the loss of life of many girls, but the Education Department will not allow his agency to act. "They turned their backs on our recommendations to remove steel fences from emergency exists and gates" which he insisted would hurt rescue efforts.
One can only wonder how the Saudi government can remain so blind to dangers facing girls who are attending school. What will it take, another tragedy?

DB2 9 was just named Best Database Management Solution for 2007 at a gala event.
And as you probably know, DB2 9 also plays a major role in many industry standard and ISV leadership benchmark results such as TPC-C and SAP SD.
Srini Bhagavan, Information Management Architect in IBM Software Group, recently alerted me to another DB2 9 winning performance story involving PHP. PHP is the market-leading dynamic language for producing modern Web applications. Its popularity for building content management and e-commerce systems stems from its portability, ease of use, and wide support for accessing database and enterprise data sources.
The recent Performance case study using Zend Core for IBM with IBM DB2 9 to service 10,000 active database connections used a DVD store application that simulates users logging into an online catalog, browsing the catalog, and making DVD purchases. The study showed how IBM DB2 9 can be used to implement PHP solutions to service tens of thousands of database connections with little strain on system CPU and memory resources.
DB2 9 winning performance - and have you ever tried to dress technology in black tie ?

That would be the best looking car ive seen on the road lately if you got it into production...
Wonder if its FR or MR drive.
Looking good.
Incredibly cool. Great job. Are you really planning a full scale version? Would it be based on an existing platform or all from scratch? What engine would you use? I vote for twin turbo 304!

Morgan Tsvangirai is trying to elicit support from donor nations in the world in order to organize some semblance of stability in a nation that has collapsed, but he is not being helped by President Mugabe whose only thought is maintenance of power. There is hope Mugabe's fellow thugs might finally release a supporter of Tsvangirai from prison where he has been charged with crimes he did NOT commit. At a time when the outside world wants the economy to function President Mugabe has announced he wants to finally rid the nation of white farmers whose farms undoubtedly still function. Most probably if they are evicted some henchmen of Mugabe will take the farms and run them into the ground as they have done other farms.
A group of Zimbabwe lawyers tried to place an ad in the state owned Herald newspaper about their efforts to monitor the implementation of the power sharing agreement and were denied. President Mugabe still cannot grasp his dictatorial behavior and power grabbing of land will turn off foreign investors and there will be no foreign aid. The situation is hopeless as long as he retains any power.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by KimGOAT, Apr 15, 2014.
You're funny.
He/she could be, but not that much in fact
Poetzsch was no where near the best skater across the three phases of the competition, or even two phases. Heck, some even claim her figures was not very good in Lake Placid.
Witt was reliable and nice to watch, but "better" than Zayak in 1984 or Ito (two phases) and Manley (three phases) in 1988 is questionable since Witt never was very good at compulsory figures.
Kerrigan won the SP. Biaul and Kerrigan tied in the freeskate, but Biaul won the competition by a tiebreaker. Technically Kerrigan got 1st and 1st in both phases while Biaul got 2nd and 1st but Biaul won.
My point is claiming that the best in the World usually wins at the Olympics is weak since often not even the best in the competition necessarily wins.
Zayak was never even close to the best skater in the world at the time of any Olympics. If she was ever close to being that it was in 1981-1982 but there were no Olympics that year.
Poetzsch was the best skater of her era due to being by far the best in figures in an era everyone was mediocre and blah in free skating. All of Fratianne, Poetzsch, and Lurz doing a long program would make for a good way to put someone to sleep more easily for a root canal or other major dental operation. So might as well give the titles to the best in figures, as long as she stays upright in free skating.
Yeah Kerrigan probably was better than Baiul in the competition at the 94 Games, but Baiul was the best skater in the world at the time which overruled Kerigan being better in that competition to the judges. Which is my whole point of how the best skater in the world at the time usually wins the Olympics.
Just like Manley was better than Witt at the competition itself at the 88 Games, but since Witt was the best in the world at the time the judges gave her the gold anyway. Since the best skater in the world usually wins the Olympics. So it didnt even matter to the judges Manley was the best over the course of that competition.
2002 was a rare occasion the judges went with who skated the best in that competition despite that she clearly wasnt the best skater in the world. In 2010 they couldnt award the gold medal to the best skater in the world since she wasnt allowed to be there. Given Shizuka's not great winning performances, the occasional overruling of the best skater for best performance on the day, wouldnt have been realistic either. Even on an off day for Mao as Mao would have had the best performance on the day even not skating her best, in addition to being the best skater in the world at the time.
The SP came into existence to balance the competition in 1973, and Poetzsch did not even do a triple in combination with the 2Lp in the SP. It is also convenient you left out Biellman. YouTube Poetzsch and Biellman at Lake Placid.
YouTube Zayak and Witt in Sarajevo, and look at the content.
How can anybody call a competition a "competition" if the performances, in this case over 2 or 3 days, mean nothing? If one's skating is so great, then shouldn't being able to show it be a realistic expectation?
I assume you are a big fan of Elaine Zayak, but you are living in an alterior universe if you think she was by any measure considered best skater in the world at the time of the 84 Olympics. She had done NOTHING since her world title in 82, and had not even won her own Nationals the last 3 years. That year she had been 3rd at Nationals. She was the 3rd best skater in her own country and you are using her as an example of best skater in the world not winning the olympic gold, LOL! As for Sarajevo she was 6th in the short, 4th in the long, and 5th in the combined free skating, so it seems even outside her ghastly figures nobody considered her even close to the best other than possibly you. To her credit she did skate great, the best she had in years, and it was a great climax to her career, but her run as best in the world (if she ever had one) was long in the past by then.
As for content what did Zayak did which Witt didnt other than one small triple loop she barely landed. Well Witt did a double lutz-triple toe combo which is even harder, and could have easily pulled out her triple flip if she thought she needed it.
Of course I left out Biellmann. Everyone knows Biellmann sucked at figures too badly to ever be the best in the world at the time, just as Zayak did. It seems you are creating an imaginary planet where figures dont even exist which is a different topic altogether. Figures were part of skating then so those hopeless at them- Biellmann, Ito, Zayak, were not considered best in the world, even if Biellmann and Ito arguably were in free skating.
The real world is where stuff actually happens. It is a fantasy to not believe one's own eyes and think about what is not there as if it is. For example, Zayak's 3Lp was there in 1984, a reality, while Witt's 3F was not there in 1984, although a very nice fantasy.
I like Colledge, Fratianne, Zayak, Biellman, Manley, Ito, Harding, Chen, Kwan, Slutskaya, Asada, Kim ... I like a lot of skaters ... a lot more than listed.
So Zayak who couldnt do half decent figures anymore, had no real results for over 2 years, and was even 5th in combined free skating skating her best in Sarajevo was best skater in the world at the time just because you say so? OK then, sure. 3rd best in the U.S, but best in the world at the time just because.
True, and Mao lost to Yu-Na Kim by about 25 points at Junior Worlds that year.
She bombed there. On a good day she easily beat Yu Na at that point, this wasnt the Yu Na of 2007-2014, and anyway Yu Na wasnt at the Olympics so she wouldnt have had to worry about her.
Neither was Mao, so she wouldn't have had to worry about any of the skaters who actually were there either. I agree with pollyanna, you're funny!
I am saying an exception should have been made for Mao though. You cant have the unquestioned best skater in the world not at the Olympics, the place where the best skater in the world is supposed to receive a gold medal (and did 8 times out of 10 from 76-2010).
What made Witt the best skater by your measure?
She was best by default since Ito sucked so badly at figures, Manley was splatting 95% of her career away, Thomas was overall a strong competitor and potentially better overall skater but folded under pressure of the big events. Had Thomas not missed her double axel in the short of the 87 worlds, and skated like U.S Nationals and Skate Canada at Olympics and worlds in 88, or had Manley delivered at the 87 worlds (which would have led to her being World Champ and winning 88 Olympics and worlds even with the same skates), history would look alot different.
That's another of your funny ideas. Do you also think that the Olympics is where the best in every athletic event are "supposed to receive a gold medal"? Why bother to even have any of the competitions? Sometimes those who are the "best in their sport" win gold and sometimes they do not. Sometimes they don't even make their country's Olypmic team for a number of reasons. The Olympics aren't some sort of quadrennial "coronation."
And going into the 1984 Olympics?
Well she won the combined free skating at the 82 and 83 worlds, so would have won both events if she didnt suck at figures then. In fall 83 it was evident by all her competitions, especialy Europeans, she now had good figures and would place near the top in Sarajevo. As she was always a better free skater than Sumners, and Sumners was struggling in the 83-84 season and far below her early 83 level which was her peak, the Olympic gold seemed the inevitable result by then.
Sumners btw lost both the short and long programs of 84 Nationals to Chin after being so dominant at the 83 Nationals and 83 worlds. She even fell on a single axel there. She lost to some Serbian skater in 83 even. She was clearly in trouble, and with Witt now good in figures, it would have been a bit of a surprise had world champion Sumners actually been able to pull it off and still win, as opposed to being surprising Witt did.
Saying a skater was suddenly good at figures is like ... saying a skater suddenly deserved 9.5 in skating skills.
Well the judges decided she was suddenly good at figures, and they are the ones who give out the medals. Given that there was barely any coverage of figures I guess that is what we have to go by.
Why didnt the powerful East German skating federation make Witt higher up in figures at the 81, 82, and 83 worlds if they could do that so easily in 84 and beyond. I am sure they wanted her to win those events too. So we have to assume her figures did get alot better. By 88 they may have declined and she was probably protected in them by name, by that point.
The first figure in 1988 was scandalous and skaters did not often decline in figures. It is the jumps that they would lose.
I think we have reached an impasse.
Besides, like all threads on FSU, this thread is really about Michelle Pell.
I was a huge fan of Debi Thomas and I thought she should have won the figures in 88 and Witt should have been lower than 3rd, and Thomas should have been 1st (or at worst 2nd to Ito) in the short, while Witt should have again been only about 5th. Had the figures and short program been judged fairly, Thomas probably would have been relaxed for her long program having the gold already in the bag and done a beautiful skate and won gold in impressive fashion. I am still mad Thomas was not given the lead on Witt she deserved, Witt winning the short over Debi was a farce, and the scoring of the 1st figure with Thomas in 4th was a political joke. With the competition all panned out Manley probably deserved the gold ahead of Witt, but didnt win it due to being too inconsistent the years before Calgary, not being enough of a name, the olympics being pigoned a Witt-Thomas gold battle, and all those other silly skating reasons. Ito outshone Witt in free skating, even if with her figures she had no hope.
So if you are arguing Witt was a weak winner in 88 I wont disagree with that. That just shows how for the longest time they wanted the person perceived as the dominant skater to win the Olympics though. Since best has different meanings to different people, maybe I should change the term I use to dominant. Most times the generally dominant skater of the time wins the Olympics
1976- Hamill
1980- Poetzsch- won 7 of 9 world, Olympic, or European Championships from 77-80, obviously dominant skater of that quad.
1984 and 1988- Witt- won all world and olympic titles from 84-88 minus the 86 worlds.
1992- Yamaguchi- won practically every big amateur or pro event she was in from 91-95

Poetzsch's record is far less impressive if you eliminate the four European Championships since not every skater at the World and Olympic level was European. Not necessarily in figures, but in the SP and LP the US and Canadians had a lot of depth. Many think Sandy Lenz and Lisa Marie Allen did far better than Poetzch despite what the records say.
Thinking about the original questions more: If Michelle had nailed the SP and LP, she probably would've scored roughly 63 pts. and 120 pts. respectively (I used her '05 Worlds score of 114 pts. and added in points lost from mistakes). I think that would've been just enough to knock Sasha to bronze. But, if Sasha had skated her Nationals LP and Irina had skated her Cup of Russia LP, Kwan would've probably been off the podium
I think it would be more like 63 and 125. I think she would have improved since the 2005 worlds. You must think so too as 63 is more than she got in the short at the 2005 worlds. Still not enough for gold in the end though. Then again scoring in Turin was stingy and much tougher than the 2005 worlds. Real quality elements were getting mostly 0s and the judges were not giving out high 8s and 9s in PCS to even Slutskaya and Cohen like they did in Moscow. So factoring that backwards it might be more like 61 and 120 for Kwan and no medal.
Poetzsch was a terrible skater. I dont know where her medals came from. Her mom must have been a judge or something.
Wait... how do you know this? Did you see all of the figures of the the top six?
Well...that NEVER happens!
Silver is the only logical answer in this poll as the question is stated, so that is what I voted. However in a competition with everyone skating their best at the 2006 Olympics Kwan wouldnt have even medalled. She would have benefited from the subpar performances of Arakawa, Cohen, and Slutskaya in this hypothetical (but still lost to Arakawa anyway). There is also no reason to assume a clean 6 triple LP. She had done that in a long time, and after a year of lost training time due to injury, even if she was healthy for the Games themselves, it was unlikely to happen there. Especialy as she isnt exactly famous for delivering at the Olympics.
Roz wasn't "suddenly" good at figures. She explained in a recent interview that she went to Kathy Casey (I think), specifically because of her expertise as a figures coach. Roz said that Kathy's coaching made all the difference in the quality of her figures, which also explained her improved placements in compulsory figures.
