WASHINGTON - Service industries in the U.S. unexpected expanded in February at the fastest pace in a year as orders picked up for a fourth straight month.
The Institute for Supply Management's non-manufacturing index climbed to 57.3 from 56.8 in January, the Tempe, Ariz.-based group's data showed March 5. Readings above 50 signal expansion and the median forecast of 66 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News was 56.
A pickup in the services industries that make up almost 90 percent of the economy would help broaden the expansion, helping drive further labor market gains that will help sustain household demand. At the same, rising gasoline prices represents a risk to the recovery Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said last week is "uneven and modest."
"Things seem to be going in the right direction," Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics Ltd. in Toronto, said before the report. "Services have shown signs of improvement, mirroring what we're seeing in the rest of the economy."
Economists' estimates in the Bloomberg survey ranged from 54 to 59.
The ISM non-manufacturing survey's employment gauge fell to 55.7 from 57.4 in the prior month. The measure of new orders increased to 61.2, also a one-year high, from 59.4. A gauge of business activity rose to a 12-month high of 62.6 from 59.5. The index of prices paid climbed to 68.4 from 63.5.
The ISM services survey covers industries ranging from utilities and construction, to retailing and finance. A March 1 report by the group showed manufacturing expanded in February at the slowest pace in three months as orders and employment cooled.
Growth Projections
The economy is projected to cool after growing in the final three months of last year at the fastest pace since the second quarter of 2010. Growth may average 2.2 percent in the first half, according to the median estimate of 81 economists surveyed by Bloomberg last month.
"For 2012, what we're looking for is continued stable but moderate growth in the U.S.," Kurt Kuehn, chief financial officer at United Parcel Service Inc., said at a Feb. 15 transportation services conference. "We think the U.S. economy is on the mend. We think the downside risk in the U.S. is lowered."
Higher fuel costs are straining household budgets, restraining purchases of other goods. Gasoline prices climbed to $3.77 a gallon on March 4, up from a 10-month low of $3.21 on Dec. 20, according to AAA, the nation's largest motoring organization.
Personal spending after adjusting for inflation failed to grow in the three months ended in January, the Commerce Department said last week.
February Employment
At the same time, an improving job market has boosted consumer confidence and may spur spending. The unemployment rate in February held at a two-year low of 8.3 percent and the economy generated 210,000 jobs, according to economists' estimates before the March 9 jobs report from the Labor Department. It would mark the third straight month of payroll gains in excess of 200,000.
Lowe's Cos., the second-largest U.S. home-improvement retailer, last month reported fourth-quarter profit that exceeded analysts' estimates after warmer weather encouraged outdoor projects.
"We do think the consumer is more willing to spend," CEO Robert Niblock said on a conference call Feb. 27. "We know that future uncertainties are still weighing heavily on the consumer."
Fourth Quarter
The economy grew at a 3 percent annual pace in the fourth quarter after a 1.8 percent gain in the prior three months, the Commerce Department reported Feb. 29. The growth rate excluding a jump in inventories was 1.1 percent. Consumer spending rose at a 2.1 percent pace last quarter.
"The recovery of the U.S. economy continues, but the pace of expansion has been uneven and modest by historical standards," Bernanke told lawmakers during his semiannual testimony to Congress on Feb. 29. "The job gains in recent months have been relatively widespread across industries," he said. "However, the fundamentals that support spending continue to be weak."

Phase I of HIV Prevention Vaccine Clinical Trials Looks Promising

Over the course of Phase I, patients have not experienced negative effects while taking SAV001-H
The first
HIV vaccine
for prevention has had a successful Phase I Clinical Trials in the United States, and is preparing to move on to Phase II and Phase III.
The preventative HIV vaccine (called SAV001-H) was developed by Dr. Chil-Yong Kang and a team of researchers at the University of Western Ontario's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry as well as researchers from Sumagen Co. Ltd. Unlike other HIV vaccines that underwent clinical trials, SAV001-H contains a killed whole HIV-1 rather than just one specific part of HIV as an antigen or genetic vaccine using recombinant DNA.
Phase I of clinical trials for the first HIV preventative vaccine started in March 2012.
Infected men and women
ranging from 18-50 years of age were separated into two groups, where one received SAV001-H and the other a placebo.
Over the course of Phase I, patients have not experienced negative effects while taking SAV001-H. This includes signs/symptoms, laboratory toxicities and local reactions.
"We have proven that there is no safety concern of SAV001-H in human administration and we are now prepared to take the next steps towards Phase II and Phase III clinical trials," said Dr. Dong Joon Kim, spokesperson for Sumagen. "We are delighted to be one step closer to the first commercialized HIV vaccine."
Also, interim data showed a large increase in HIV-1 antibody formations after SAV001-H was given to patients.
The humoral immune responses still need to be analyzed, but these initial results are promising. This could make SAV001-H the first commercially available HIV prevention vaccine in the United States at some point.
There has been great progress for preventative HIV drugs in the U.S. lately. Back in July, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the
HIV prevention pill called "Truvada."

Benchtop drill press won't start.
I have a CarbaTec CH16N/MD and have had a recurring problem.
At seemingly random times it won't start when the 'ON' button is pressed. It just produces a sort of buzzing whirring sound.
I have bought a new switch but that didn't help.
I took it to the local power tool dude - he fixed it but on the first occasion the problem re-emerged after drilling only 3 holes. I took it back and the second time it worked well for a number of months but now today it's doing the same thing.
I cleaned the points - no difference. I taped the wires together bypassing the switch - no difference.
I rang the CarbaTec shop in Auburn and the guy was most sympathetic & suggested it might be the capacitor. (I'm in the bush - NSW Sth Coast)
I can buy one online - $20.00 but I'm wondering can anyone shed any light on this problem as to possible causes & remedial action?
Thanks in advance

If it is the capacitor, the motor will hum and poll. If jou grab the chuck and help it turn it should start OK. It does sound like the capacitor, so try that. Remember there will be a bit of gearing down so it may fool you due to power needed, but you should be able to feel the motor chatter as it bounces on the poles. If not, perhaps the capacitor is not the best bet.

I tried spinning the chuck as I pressed the switch but no joy. I was a bit windy about doing that, so maybe I was too wimpy or my timing was off..

With the power off.
Take the belt off.
Check by hand that the motor spindle spins freely. If not then you probably have a worn motor bearing.
Turn it on , still with the belt off,
If it starts OK with no load you perhaps have something dragging the the motor down. Check the spindle bearings for tightness or roughness.
A too tight belt could also cause the problem.
Also with the belt off, if the motor does not start, give the pulley a spin , if it starts up then the starting capacitor is probably the culprit.

I tried the 'turn the chuck' method a bit more courageously and it worked!@!! )
11th Oct 2011, 07:46 PM #6
The 'spin the chuck' working suggests that the issue is with the start winding system. This comprises the start winding, a centrifugal switch and the capacitor previously mentioned.
Whenever the motor slows below about 70% of nominal speed (including stopping), the switch engages, connecting the start winding and capacitor into the motor circuit.
Onced the motor is switched on at the switch, power is applied to the run winding and the start winding simultaneously. The combination of the start winding and capacitor produces a magnetic field with a phase shift relative to that produced by the main run winding and kick starts the motor in the required direction. Once the motor achieves about 70% of rated speed, the start switch disengages, removing the start winding and capacitor from the system until the motor slows again.
A single phase motor like yours will normally not start from stationary without the phase shifted field from the start winding, and will dither and hum. However a flip in either direction would normally start the motor running in that direction, but it will take longer to get to rated speed. In this case, the spin replaces the starting circuit magnetic field.
The problem in your instance will be with the capacitor, the contacts of the centrifugal switch, or the connections linking the whole lot together.
Given the history of repeated failures, I would have someone check the switch mechanicals and contacts, and the wiring before replacing the capacitor. While it is possible to get a couple of short life span capacitors, I think there may be deeply seated problems, and spending a bit more to have the thing fully checked may be more economical than just throwing capacitors at it on a regular basis.

Giants' 7-2 loss to Cardinals ends 2-8 homestand
Updated 8:29 am, Friday, July 4, 2014
On June 5, the world was the Giants' oyster. They flew home after a satisfying series win at Cincinnati with an 8 1/2-game lead in the National League West and a schedule to die for - 20 of their next 25 games at home.
The Giants could have stepped on the Dodgers' throats. Instead, the stretch left them gasping for air.
The Giants lost 17 of the 25, and a division lead that grew to 9 1/2 games with a sweep of the Mets disappeared, along with the fiction that they were the best team in the league.
The enviable portion of their schedule ended dismally with Thursday's 7-2 loss. The Giants were outscored 42-19 in an embarrassing 2-8 homestand against the Padres, Reds and Cardinals, with Tim Lincecum authoring both victories.
"We're too good to have a homestand like that," manager Bruce Bochy said after conferring with general manager Brian Sabean and select players to discuss the team's plight. "To come home and struggle like we did, I don't think that's something that anybody saw coming. We know it's not acceptable.
"There's a time to say, 'Enough is enough.' That's where we're at. ... Part of it is getting mad at what's happened here and doing something about it. We've just got to do that. You've got to do it yourself, including myself, everybody. That's the best approach."
The last loss on the homestand was the ugliest.
Madison Bumgarner allowed five runs (four earned) in five innings. He spotted St. Louis a 2-0 lead on Jhonny Peralta's first-inning home run and could not limit the damage after a throwing error by rookie first baseman Adam Duvall in a three-run fourth.
Duvall fielded what should have been an inning-ending double-play groundball by Mark Ellis and airmailed his throw to center field. Bumgarner then surrendered a Jon Jay double for one run and a two-run single past a drawn-in infield by pitcher Carlos Martinez.
After the game, the Giants optioned Duvall to Triple-A Fresno to clear room for Brandon Belt, who returns Friday.
Meanwhile, a new-look lineup with Hunter Pence leading off barely dented the scoreboard. The only Giant with an RBI was Bumgarner; the ninth spot in the Cardinals' lineup outhit the Giants' 1 through 5 hitters 3-2.
Buster Posey had a shot to get the Giants back into a 5-1 game when he batted with the bases loaded and two outs in the fifth. Martinez, armed with a 99 mph fastball, fanned Posey on an 87 mph slider.
The Giants are pinning a lot of hope on Belt, who will bat second in San Diego on Friday when he rejoins the team after eight weeks of recovery from a broken thumb.
Whether he likes it or not, Belt will carry the expectations of an offensive savior.
"I've dealt with a lot the last couple of years," Belt said. "I know how to be even-keeled right now. I've got to do my job. I'm not going to put too much pressure on myself. I'm going to do what I'm supposed to do. Hopefully the rest of the team will do the same."
With or without Belt, the Giants had a chance to win the West the easy way. Now, talk of a division title seems oddly hollow for a squad that started Thursday in first place.
The Giants have to win it the hard way. They have completed roughly 60 percent of their home schedule and will play 44 of their final 76 games on the road, including 22 of the next 33.
AWOL offense
Even when the Giants pitched well during the 2-8 homestand, the offense provided little help. Only once in the 10 games did the Giants reach double digits in hits - and that came in Tim Lincecum's June 25 no-hitter. The team hit .192 during the stretch and 29 of its 61 hits came from three players (Buster Posey 11, Hunter Pence 10 and Pablo Sandoval eight).

UB Bad Beat Jackpot
At UB they say there isn't any such thing as a real bad beat, because if you ever come across one, it can turn into a bigger win than had you actually won the hand, with the UB Bad Beat Jackpot.
The UB Bad Beat Jackpot (at the time of this writing standing at over $100,000 and growing) is a reward given out to any player who holds Four of a Kind 8s or better and still loses the hand at the Showdown.
The UB Bad Beat Jackpot is built from the money paid into the house rake. If a hand is raked at least 25 cents, then 50 cents is taken from the pot to apply toward the jackpot. This means the jackpot is always growing, until it is claimed, making it what's known as a progressive jackpot. Whenever a player hits the UB Bad Beat Jackpot, it resets back down to its minimum amount and starts growing again.
When the UB Bad Beat Jackpot is hit, 10% of it goes back to the house, 25% of it is rolled over onto the next Bad Beat Jackpot, and of that remaining amount, half goes to the player who actually suffered the bad beat, 25% goes to the player who won the hand, and every other player at that table, whether they played in that particular hand or not, gets a $1,000 flat bonus. Any money in the jackpot remaining after that is then divided up amongst all the players at tables of the same game type and table stakes at that time.
To qualify for the UB Bad Beat Jackpot, you have to be playing at one of the site's tables labeled a Jackpot table or Turbo Jackpot table. Both hole cards must be used in the qualifying hand. Also, make sure to use a UB code to maximize your deposit and keep an eye out for exclusive WSOP qualifiers while playing at these Bad Beat Jackpot tables.

Masterworks from Budapest. From the Renaissance to the Avant-Garde
From 18 February to 28 May 2017
Night: Mediterranean Coast Scene with Fishermen and Boats is fully characteristic of Vernet's marine pictures: on a rocky shore, fishermen are resting after the day's work, cooking up a soup on an improvised fire, chatting with women, and smoking their pipes. To the right, a group is night-fishing by the light of a fire-brand. An overgrown fortified tower evokes medieval times. In the hazy distance a large seaport can just be seen, while a ship in full sail points to the open sea beyond the rocky promontory to the left. Typical of such works by Vernet, this scene of maritime activity does not describe an actual place but evokes the Mediterranean coastline of Italy, for example to the south of Naples. The velvety darkness of the night is enlivened by three sources of light: the warm light of the fire on shore, and the flaming torch in the fishing boat, and the cool light of the full moon, catching the clouds and the ripples on the water. Vernet was much admired for his ability to reconcile these contrasting effects of light in his own day, especially by the noted French critic Denis Diderot in his Salon reviews of the 1760s. Although it was almost certainly painted in France, just after Vernet left Italy forever, the painting is executed in a bold, free style, especially in the moonlit sky, which is typical of Vernet's Italian manner.
The Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Night was originally conceived as one of a set of four marine paintings, each showing a different time of day: morning, mid-day, evening, and night. Such sets of four landscape and / or marine paintings, representing contrasting times of day, were among Vernet's works most in demand. Unfortunately, most of these sets have been dispersed by now. But a fine group of four marines, commissioned in Rome in 1749, is still intact and in situ at Russborough, Co. Wicklow, the country seat built and furnished in the 1740s and 1750s by the Anglo-Irish brewer Joseph Leeson. Through paintings of this kind, we can see how Vernet contributed to developing the sensibilities of his mid-18th-century spectators, by encouraging them to consider the infinite variety of nature and its effects of light, weather, and terrain -albeit from the comfort of their armchairs.
The set of which the present Night formed a part was commissioned directly from the artist by another wealthy young Anglo-Irishman, Ralph Howard (created 1st Viscount Wicklow in 1785), who was in Rome from autumn 1751 to March 1752 during his Grand Tour of Italy. Howard purchased a variety of works of art in Rome, including a landscape and the four marines by Vernet, landscapes and figure pieces by the contemporary British artist Richard Wilson, and had his own portrait painted by Pompeo Batoni (now in the J. B. Speed Museum, Lexington, Kentucky). In Vernet's account book the commission, probably made early in 1752, is recorded as follows: "For His Lordship Howard five paintings emperor canvas representing seascapes with different subjects of my choice, one has to be finished by May 1752 and the other by March 1753, the price being one hundred Roman crowns, I have to deliver them to Mr. Rosel and Mr. Belloni has to pay me for them." Vernet, who was exceptionally busy during this period, was late with the delivery of the Howard pictures. One of the five commissioned works turned out to be a landscape, The Falls of Tivoli, dispatched from Rome in January 1753 by James Russell, Howard's agent. Early in 1753, however, Vernet moved to France to begin work on the Ports of France commission in Marseilles; he completed the four marine paintings for Howard in Aix-en-Provence in April.
Until its recent appearance at auction in New York in 1994, Night: Mediterranean Coast Scene with Fishermen and Boats has been unrecorded since the 18th century. At the Shelton Abbey sale mentioned above, only two of the four Howard marines were listed in the catalogue: lot 1647, "Seaport with numerous figures and Man-o-war and companion picture with figures hauling nets and moonlight effect." However, the same two pictures were sold again a year later, along with the above-mentioned Falls of Tivoli, at Sotheby's in London: lot 66, "Ships at anchor in harbour, with fishermen drawing in nets in the foreground, a lighthouse in the distance; effects of morning and evening." It is safe to assume that the Sotheby's description of the two works, while still confusing, was the more accurate: the "Evening [...] with fishermen drawing in nets" was quickly resold to the Toledo Museum of Art in 1951. We can imagine that a dirty evening scene, perhaps untouched since the 18th century, might have looked like a "moonlight effect" to the cataloguer of the Shelton Abbey sale (where, in many cases, attributions and descriptions have proven to be unreliable). Trace of "Morning [...] ship at anchor in harbour" (like its companion, bought in London by the Paris dealer Cailleux) has unfortunately been lost since the 1951 sale. It therefore seems reasonable to trust the account of the Irish gentleman who consigned Night for sale in 1994, that it was purchased by his father as un-catalogued lot at the Shelton Abbey sale in 1950. It is consistent in date and dimensions, and also in its subjects and general disposition, with the Toledo Evening. Of the fourth painting in this set, presumably a Midday, and very likely showing a distinguishing shipwreck, like its counterpart still at Russborough) there has been no word since 1753.

WASHINGTON | Facing growing pressure to lift the secrecy around targeted killings overseas, the Obama administration is considering shifting more of the CIA's covert drone program to the Pentagon, which operates under legal guidelines that could allow more public disclosure in some cases.
John Brennan, whom President Barack Obama has nominated to run the CIA, favors moving most drone killing operations to the military, current and former U.S. officials say.
As White House counterterrorism adviser for the past four years, Brennan has overseen the steady increase in targeted killings of suspected militants and al-Qaida operatives.
In written comments released Friday by the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is considering his nomination, Brennan said coordination has improved between the CIA and Pentagon.
If confirmed, he vowed to work closely with Defense officials "to ensure there is no unnecessary redundancy in ... capabilities and missions."
The proposed shift follows Obama's vow in his State of the Union speech Tuesday to be "even more transparent" about the "targeting, detention and prosecution of terrorists."
Under U.S. law that governs the military, known as Title 10, operations may be kept secret but officials have the option of disclosing them. Under the law applicable for the CIA, Title 50, covert operations require a presidential finding and stay classified unless the president expressly declassifies them.
Given those restrictions, it is uncertain how much more transparency the Pentagon would provide than the CIA. However, many at the CIA would welcome a reallocation of more drone operations to the Pentagon to help the agency refocus on its traditional mission as a spy service. It also could ease mounting congressional concerns about mission creep and a lack of accountability for errors, including civilian casualties.
"Despite all of the demands made on it over the last four years, the CIA has to continually remind itself that it is above all the nation's global espionage and analysis service," Michael Hayden, who led the agency from 2006 to 2009, said in an interview.
Some officials see pitfalls in transferring the CIA drone campaign to the military.
Most CIA targeting decisions are based on highly sensitive intelligence from secret informants or other sources. The agency would abhor revealing much about its sources. But if it didn't, that could undermine military confidence in the targeting information.
"The whole logic of the drone is that you're not making a split-second decision like a commando on the ground," said Bruce Riedel, a former CIA officer who has advised the White House about Afghanistan and Pakistan. "You have the luxury of loitering over the target for a long period of time to make sure you're as confident you can be that you've got the right target. The only way that works is if the people running the airplane know everything we know. It seems to me the risk of mistakes goes up, not down, if that is not the case."
The CIA has never publicly acknowledged its covert drone program. By contrast, the Pentagon has acknowledged flying armed drones in the war zones of Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. The military also has used remotely-piloted aircraft to surveil Somali pirates at sea, the scene of a recent terrorist attack in Algeria and threats to shipping in the Persian Gulf, among others.
More transparency may cause problems for nations known to host U.S. drone bases, including Afghanistan, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia and soon, Niger, if lethal operations were openly acknowledged, former U.S. officials said. In Pakistan, for example, it's difficult to see how the U.S. military could openly operate without Pakistani government approval. The CIA's official silence allows Islamabad to refrain from any involvement and to deny any complicity.
The Pakistani news media and public assume the drone attacks, which are highly unpopular, are American.
But "it's one thing for everyone to know something, and it's another for the U.S. government to publicly confirm it," a former intelligence official said.
CIA's Drone Program May Shift Further to Pentagon

Maria's Profile
I am a mom to a wonderful little boy and I enjoy staying home to take care of him. When he naps or after bedtime, I make boutique-style baby accessories that are stylish and functional!
The name "Noty" was my nickname when I was growing up. Once I found out we were expecting our little son, the obsession for everything baby began! So, with the help of another pregnant friend, I rediscovered my sewing skills from grade school and my passion for amazing fabrics!
I started off by making blankets & burp cloths for my baby and for friends as shower gifts. I started getting referrals and special requests from friends and family for my creations that I wanted to have a place so people can view my stuff. So far Etsy has been a wonderful home for my creations and I've gotten a lot of positive reviews.
So, in 2010 after my…

Al-Balooshi went 3.86 in the finals on Friday, knocking off Bahrain 1 driver Khaled Mohammed whose car went into tire shake and crossed the center line. Al-Balooshi deflected nearly all the credit for his second win and the PN points leader at the halfway mark also knew immediately what he was doing with the trophy."This second trophy is going back to Speedtech," Al-Balooshi said. "Hopefully I can ship them the belt, too."
At this rate, it certainly looks possible. The fire posed some problems early in the week, as did swapping out the motor, but Al-Balooshi was the dominant driver on Friday. His 3.84 in the first round was the best run of the day, and he followed that with a 3.86 in a red-light win against Shannon Jenkins before going 194 mph in the finals.
"Everybody has worked hard to get this done and I'm very happy with my team. They're doing an awesome job," Al-Balooshi said. "Everybody in this class is running fast, just like it is in the American Drag Racing League.
"But everybody who works on this team has put me in a beautiful car. This race we weren't looking at running fast, but hopefully we will be perfect before the season ends."
Meshal Al-Saber knocked off the ever-improving Matt Smith in Pro Extreme Motorcycle, going 4.27 in a holeshot win in the finals, while Ruben Arrieta went 4.33 to win in Outlaw 10.5.
"I'm on cloud nine right now," Arrieta said. "This is something I've dreamed about."
Todd's Pro Extreme career has been so short he likely hasn't had time to dream, but it would probably go something like this. Teaming with Alex Hossler, who recorded a career-best 3.64 at 209 miles per hour in qualifying on Thursday, Todd has proven to be a quick learner in PX.
He won Round Two in December and posted a solid Friday against an incredible field. Todd went 3.66 at 207 mph to beat Todd Tutterow in the first round, following it up with a 3.67 at another 207 mph. Von Smith knocked off Frankie Taylor and Hossler to reach the finals, but Todd posted his second 3.67 at 208 mph to beat the red-lighting Smith.
"In the semifinals, we hurt the piston, so it was a mad thrash to get it ready for the finals," Todd said. "This thing has been like a Cadillac. It hasn't done anything wrong yet."
What has helped has been teaming with Hossler and crew chief Rob Flynn. Todd's natural talent has been evident, but a good support staff has also paid dividends thus far.
"With Rob calling the shots and (KH Al-Thani) putting together a great team, it's been great," Todd said. "We've worked together well and that's what it takes."
It was an upset-filled day in PXM, which started with Matt Smith setting a new track record with a 4.12. Previous event winners Rob Hunnicutt, who lost to Smith, and Terry Schweigert, both fell in the semifinals, as Smith went 4.18 in his win against the PXM points leader. But Al-Saber was quicker off the line to earn his first victory of the season.
"Meshal performed really well," crew chief Sadiq Taqi said. "To win among all these champions feels great. There's some big names in this field and to win makes me feel really proud."
Smith, who is also driving Al-Thani's PX car,
has made tremendous strides on his 2010 Harley,
but he couldn't complete his day with a win.

With 35 candidates competing in seven different categories for this year's English-language Governor-General's Literary Awards, due to be announced Tuesday, all eyes as usual will focus on the two or three novelists most favoured to win the marquee fiction prize – the same few who have dominated the busy award season that Tuesday's ceremony will unofficially bring to an exhausted end.
But when it comes to real domination, none of the authors or publishers vying for the big prizes can match the obscure one-man shop that virtually owns the shortlist for the 2011 Governor-General's poetry award.
Of five books nominated for the $25,000 prize, three were published by upstart small press BookThug, operated on a kitchen table almost single-handedly by Toronto poet Jay MillAr.
Not since Coach House Press first published the likes of Margaret Atwood and Michael Ondaatje more than 40 years ago has a single publisher of poetry made such an impression on the national literature.
The difference is that today there are literally dozens of similar small presses – maybe not many so small as BookThug – doing the same thing. Fifty-three publishers, most of them surviving on modest grants from the Canada Council, submitted a total of 170 books for the 2011 poetry award.
The unifying theme of the three BookThug nominees is their diversity, according to MillAr, whose unconventional signature honours the legacy of such pioneer avant-gardists as bpNichol and bill bissett, publisher of blewointment press, the original inspiration for BookThug.
BookThug's nominated titles "are three completely different books," says the publisher, clean-cut and dressed in a checked shirt with belted trousers, looking more like the semi-suburban hockey dad he is than his mentor bill bissett, whom he remembers "wearing gigantic orange sunglasses and shaking a maraca" while reading. The three nominees' diversity is exactly what he was hoping to achieve when he first established the imprint in 2004, MillAr says, hoping to bring together the vigorously warring ghettos of the early 21st-century scene.
"The poetry community is very small and it's so ideologically driven," he says. "You ended up having all these camps. It was almost like high school. But there was no real dialogue happening."
Phil Hall's Killdeer "comes from a lyrical-confessional background," MillAr says. Michael Boughn's Cosmographia, subtitled A Post-Lucretian Faux Micro-Epic, is "quite a hefty tome, with all of the workings of an epic – but in a micro way." Kate Eichhorn's Fieldnotes, a Forensic "is like CSI for really smart, interesting people, taking that forensic anthropology and plugging it through poetry and pornography and all kinds of strange things wrapped up together."
Also nominated for the poetry award are Susan Musgrave's Origami Dove, published by McClelland & Stewart; and Discovery Passages by Garry Thomas Morse, published by Talonbooks.
MillAr launched BookThug as "a response unit to Canadian literature," its mission "to create a dialogue between experimental writers and people interested in more traditional forms of poetry."
The new press boasted it was "the future of literature" – a claim no longer as presumptuous as it might once have seemed before this fall's hat trick of nominations.Almost by accident along the way, BookThug began publishing Danish literature in translation, and is now North America's premier source of such work, according to MillAr.
In addition to teaching at George Brown College, Ryerson University and the Toronto New School of Writing, he helps support his wife and two young sons counting white-footed field mice in his native southwestern Ontario for a Lakehead University population biologist – a job he has been doing continuously since 1981.
Also along the way, MillAr opened an online book shop named Apollinaire's "that specializes in all the books nobody wants to buy" – mainly ultra-obscure, staple-bound chapbooks of contemporary poetry from small presses. But his real ambition is not so arcane. Frustrated that "poetry has become like a secret language spoken by poets," he wants to make it matter. "My ambition as a publisher is to actually make this stuff really exciting again," he says.

All Music Guide:
Breakbeat funk collective King Kooba is led by former Neneh Cherry and Howie B. cohort Charlie Tate and producer DJ Shuff (Matt Harris). Combining DJ Shuff's skills with Tate's arrangements, the duo's aim is to make records that work equally well on the dancefloor and living room. In live settings, they're backed by Simon Richmond (Palmskin Productions) on keyboards and effects, Greg Rowland (Neneh Cherry) on additional keyboards, Max Sedgeley (Roni Size, Breakbeat Era) on drums, V-Love (K-Creative) on guitars, and D'Jaine on vocals. Tapped early on by journalists as the Funkadelic to Roni Size's Miles Davis, the group scattered three LPs and a clutch of singles between 1998 and 2000; making their full-length debut in 1998 with The Imperial Solution (with help from members of the Brand New Heavies and the Herbaliser), they followed with 1999's Enter the Throne Room and 2000's NuFoundFunk. The Second Skin act also has countless compilation appearances to their credit.

Irving had far too strong a personality for Malvolio. To the best of my recollection his Malvolio was distinctly a gentleman, not a buffoon; he was dignified, not heavy. It was inconceivable that that commanding presence should be a mere steward. He looked like some great Spanish hidalgo—a painting of Velazquez; never could he have become the butt of his fellow-servants. For surely Malvolio graduated in the kitchen or the buttery; he is an old retainer,

The CCBC is accepting applications from authors and illustrators who are interested in touring for Book Week 2013. Application deadline is May 25, 2012.
General Information:
The mission of TD Canadian Children's Book Week is to connect the authors and illustrators of Canadian children's and young adult books with readers across Canada. TD Canadian Children's Book Week is Canada's largest celebration of reading and Canadian children's books. The first Book Week tour was held in 1977 and since then over 300 Canadian authors, illustrators and storytellers have toured throughout the country.
In celebration of TD Canadian Children's Book Week, the Canadian Children's Book Centre (CCBC) sends authors, illustrators and storytellers on a cross-Canada tour to give readings, workshops and presentations to children in schools, libraries, community centres and bookstores. The next Book Week tour will run from Saturday, May 4 to Saturday, May 11, 2013.
Description and duties:
Applying authors and illustrators must be available to tour a province/territory (other than their home province) from Saturday, May 4 to Saturday, May 11, 2013. They should be prepared to give readings and workshops in schools, libraries, community centres and bookstores across their tour region.
Touring for TD Canadian Children's Book Week can be an exhausting, but exhilarating experience. Along with the smiling faces of hundreds of children and the dedicated teachers and librarians that authors and illustrators will meet on their journey, they will also be facing long days (up to four presentations a day), hours of travel and potential bumps in the road (i.e., weather interruptions, flight cancellations and delays, etc.).
Individuals must be comfortable with all major forms of travel (i.e., planes, buses, trains, being driven in cars by volunteer drivers, etc.) and be prepared to rise to the challenges of TD Canadian Children's Book Week.
- Authors and illustrators with books being released in fall 2012 and/or spring 2013 are eligible. Re-issues or re-releases of previous titles are not eligible.
- Only Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada are eligible.
- Authors, illustrators and storytellers are eligible to apply to tour every three years. Therefore, authors and/or illustrators who tour in 2011 and 2012 are not eligible to tour for TD Canadian Children's Book Week 2013.
- Authors and illustrators must have at least two professionally published books for children and/or young adults — picture books, fiction, short stories, poetry, drama or non-fiction — that lend themselves to a public reading.
- Authors of travel guides, bibliographies, cookbooks, exhibition catalogues, instruction manuals, self-help books, scholarly books, textbooks and specialized reference works are not eligible.
- Illustrators of children's books are eligible, provided they have illustrated the complete text of at least two professionally published works for children and/or young adults.
- Self-published authors and illustrators are not eligible to tour, as per Canada Council funding guidelines.
- Author/author teams or author/illustrator teams are not eligible to apply unless the individuals or their publishing company are prepared to pay the travel, accommodation and meal costs for one of the team members. The CCBC receives a limited amount of funding for a certain number of tour spots and we are not able to use two blocks of funding to send two individuals to one location.
- Authors and illustrators must provide two letters of reference from schools and libraries that have hosted them for readings and/or workshops during the past two years. Letters sent via email will be accepted. Letters may also be generic reference letters you have received in the past. They do not have to be specifically addressed to the Canadian Children's Book Centre.
- Authors and illustrators must have experience presenting engaging readings and/or workshops to children and/or young adults.
- Each author and illustrator will be touring outside of his/her home province and must be comfortable travelling and keeping up with a busy schedule for the week of the tour.
- Authors and illustrators must be accessible by both phone and email.
- Authors and illustrators must have necessary ID for travelling (i.e., valid passport or driver's license with photo ID).
- All authors and illustrators chosen to tour for TD Canadian Children's Book Week must be a member of the Canadian Children's Book Centre. (Membership details can be arranged once the roster has been selected and authors/illustrators have been contacted.)
- The CCBC will consider all applications with regard to achieving a tour roster having broad representation of the publishing companies (smaller presses as well as the larger ones) in Canada and the various genres in children's writing.
- The tour roster is selected to provide fair representation of gender, regional and cultural diversity.
- The CCBC will also consider awards and honours received.
All travel expenses, accommodation expenses and meal expenses are covered by the Canadian Children's Book Centre. A per diem of $50.00 per day is allowed for meals.
Authors and illustrators will be paid $150.00 (plus GST or HST, if applicable) per school reading. There are usually 8 to 12 school readings given during the tour.
The Canadian Children's Book Centre also receives funding from the Canada Council to pay for four public readings per author and illustrator. The authors and illustrators will be paid $250.00 for each of the four Canada Council public readings (plus applicable taxes).
Additional Information:
There are 26 available tour spots. In addition, three storytellers are selected to tour by the Storytellers of Canada. The Canadian Children's Book Centre's goal is to finalize the roster by early July. Only those authors and illustrators who are selected to tour will be contacted, as will their publishers.
A unique aspect of the Book Week touring program is that the authors and illustrators always tour outside of their home province so that they can meet young fans from different parts of the country. If you are chosen to tour, you will be asked for your list of the top three provinces and/or territories you would like to tour. The CCBC will then determine the location you will be touring (keeping your top choices in mind) and you will be assigned a Book Week Coordinator who will be located in the province or territory you will be touring. They will be responsible for coordinating all aspects of your Book Week tour (i.e., booking school and library readings, booking your travel and accommodations, etc.)
Authors and illustrators should inform their publicist(s) that they are applying so that they are aware of the author's and/or illustrator's intention to tour.
Applicants are also encouraged to have their publicist(s) send further information (i.e., current books, backlist titles, press releases or media kits, etc.) to the Canadian Children's Book Centre prior to the May 23, 2012 deadline.
The CCBC is looking for individuals who will bring knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to the Book Week tours. The more information we know about each applicant, their published works and their reading/workshop experience, the better.
In the information below is a list of Frequently Asked Questions about the Book Week touring program. If applicants have further questions or would like to learn more about TD Canadian Children's Book Week, please contact Shannon Howe Barnes, Program Coordinator at 416.975.0010 x 227 or by email at email@example.com.

TCEQ Congratulates Amarillo Firm On Prestigious Environmental Award
Amarillo, Texas -
AMARILLO -- Pioneer Natural Resources of Amarillo is among the winners of the 22nd annual Texas Environmental Excellence Awards.
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality handed out these prestigious awards to bring attention to the most innovative and effective projects that prevent pollution and preserve natural resources in Texas.
It took ten years of research, design and testing for Pioneer's Mid-Continent team to come up with an effective three-tiered approach to the "pigging" process but it paid off in reduction of air emissions by 90 percent. Pigging is a process of cleaning out liquids and debris from a pipeline. The traditional process often required opening several hatches and valves venting small amounts of natural gas into the atmosphere.
By utilizing larger barrels, Pioneer reduced the number of times hatches were opened from once a day to twice a week. A new system for depressurizing tanks that reroutes flow to compressors, further reduced air emissions. And, instead of draining lines into an open-air tub, Pioneer rerouted liquids into its processes thereby reducing vapor emissions.
"I commend all of this year's winners for their commitment to improving the environment by thinking creatively and acting decisively," says TCEQ Chairman Bryan W. Shaw, Ph.D., P.E.
"It is a great pleasure to join with my fellow commissioners in congratulating these honorees whose environmental stewardship serves as an example to Texans everywhere," says TCEQ Commissioner Toby Baker.
"The 2014 award recipients show the rest of us some of the many ways we all can take care of Texas by protecting and improving our environment," says TCEQ Commissioner Zak Covar.

text: by Dr. Becky Morgan Are you a coach with young girls on your team who will experience their first menses this season?Do you have swimmers who do not swim during their menstrual cycle?Do you have girls quitting swimming because of the fear of having to deal with menstrual issues?If you answered YES to any of these questions, you may find the following information useful in dealing with the concerns that many young female swimmers and their parents have regarding training and menstruation.Step One: Talk to the parents. Many times a mom or an older sister can help dispel myths and explain the whole menstrual "thing" so that a younger girl will not be so horrified.About the tampon issue... It's not always easy to solve. First, identify someone with whom the athlete is comfortable (i.e. a parent or a close teammate) to make sure they instruct the athlete in the proper use of tampons, starting with the most slender model. Some girls have issues with the applicator being a bit painful, so the OB brand is recommended because they are small and don't require an applicator. However, the athlete might not like having to insert the tampon manually. If this doesn't work, a visit to the family doctor for an exam is recommended to ensure that there are anatomical problems. Having a male coach deal with this issue is not recommended, as this often magnifies the embarassment factor.About cramps... Cramps are often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, excessive fatigue and general malaise. Treating these symptoms with medications (anti-inflammatory or oral contraceptive, depending on how severe the symptoms are) often improves participation and performance in affected athletes. There is also value in listening to the athlete and addressing/treating PMS symptoms. Preventing heavy bleeding by regulating periods with oral contraceptives proves especially helpful in swimmers.About Irregular Bleeding... There are many reasons for irregular bleeding. Some young ladies have irregular bleeding regardless of their activity level. Most of these folks have anovulatory cycles (meaning they don't ovulate every cycle because of some disturbance in the hormone secretion). Others have abnormal cycles when they are most active because the activity causes irregularity in the hormone secretions. Every individual responds differently to changes in the hormonal patterns--some will just quit having periods, and others will just have wacky, unpredictable cycles. If these cycles continue to be really unpredictable, the uterus will have mixed messages and may just bleed all the time (how lucky can one be?). So, the moral of this story is--if those cycles are really irregular (too frequent or not frequent enough), the young lady needs to see a good primary care or ob/gyn and have an exam, have some labs done to check thyroid and some other hormones, and then consider regulation of the period with contraceptives if all else is ok and the bleeding (or lack thereof) is a problem.About Performance... There is no strong evidence to show that the menstrual cycle affects athletic performance. Typically, it is the symptoms related to the cycle that interfere with training. Addressing these issues first may be a tremendous help in the long run. Dr. Rebecca "Becky" Morgan is in her fourth year as the team physician for the University of Tennessee Lady Vols. She is board certified in Family Practice and has a Certificate of Added Qualifications in Sports Medicine. Dr. Morgan received her Medical Doctorate from the University of South Alabama and completed her Family Practice Residency Training at the University of Alabama School of Medicine in Huntsville. She also served her Sports Medicine Fellowship at UASOM-Huntsville in 1996. Dr. Morgan completed a volunteer physician internship at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., and also has experience with international competition through her work with the USA Swimming Program. She is a former member of the USA Swimming Sports Medicine/Science Committee.

The other group grows oysters on small farms, both in the bay and in the salt ponds.
And as Robert Rheault, executive director of the East Coast Shellfish Growers Association said, "The clam market and the oyster market are totally different. For one thing the clam market is flat and the oyster market is growing."
The future of those markets was among the hot topics discussed by Rheault and others Nov. 14 during a Baird Sea Grant Symposium in Warwick on the shellfish industry. About 150 people attended. Fifteen presenters spoke, covering topics from harvesting and growing Rhode Island shellfish to shellfish management and water quality.
The upward trend with oysters has created a bit of a boom in raw bars across the country. More than 500 different brands of oysters can be found in these businesses. The oysters grown on Rhode Island farms can be found on menus as far away as Colorado.
With clams the tenor is a little different. Rhode Island in the 1970s and 1980s set the tone for the East Coast clam market. Now clam farms in Virginia and Florida do. This shift happened in the 1990s. The price per clam has dropped and never been the same since.
"Once the guys in Virginia and Florida figured out how to grow clams our price has nose-dived," said Jeff Grant, vice president of the Rhode Island Shellfishermen's Association. "The big farms controlled the market."
According to Rheault, the price of a Narragansett Bay quahog in 1990 was about 25 cents per clam. Now it's about 14 cents. Rhode Island commercial clammers in 2012 harvested $5.15 million in clams. Virginia clam farms sold $26 million worth during the same period, he said. To complicate matters, there are cheap clams coming in from Vietnam going for approximately 9 cents.

"Campaign finance laws are designed to bring the two Americas together at election time... John Edwards forgot his own rhetoric."
"This is a case that should define the difference between a wrong and a crime... between a sin and a felony... John Edwards has confessed his sins. He will serve a life sentence for those. But he has pleaded not guilty to violating the law." — Said the defense attorney.

Can't they both lose?
- ndspinelli said...
That would be a hung jury; but that's sort of a win for the defense attorney because when the US attorney re-files...more billing time.
- traditionalguy said...
The Jury will get Edwards because they seriously don't like him. That's how it works.
Edwards only hope is a Directed Verdict or a reversal upon appeal for not being granted one. - 5/18/12, 8:33 AM

traditionalguy, Juries loved him as an ambulance chaser.

Just imagine if he was elected President. What a mess that would be right now. This whole thing drawn out in detail all day, every day. God, that would suck!
But this trial never would have happened. Would the press have somehow squelched this? They seem pretty talented at ignoring the Obama scandals, and Edwards would not have the magic of being the One, which has made liberals in the media completely abandon their jobs. Alternate histories are fascinating. You never really know how consequential small things might be. - 5/18/12, 8:44 AM

"Juries loved him as an ambulance chaser."
I think he's much more convincing as a villain than a hero, but that depends on the listener. I never got a thrill over a white night on a silky pony. In this villain role, he has used and harmed women, which is normal fan base, so I think he's in trouble here. - 5/18/12, 8:50 AM

The juries wouldn't love him as ambulance chaser if they knew the consequences of their votes: a state seriously depopulated of obstetricians. He drove many either to bankruptcy, or exile, for procedure later shown to have no connection with the deformities the juries were awarding for. He uses people then throws them away, and this makes it easily to see him swindling rich old ladies and misusing campaign funds.
- Mitchell said...
A proper sentence would be for John Edwards to change his hair color to pink.

Three Felonies a Day. No such thing as a plain old sin anymore.

The moral is don't be a major Democrat who has been rendered utterly powerless and is of no use to anybody. You will be thrown to the wolves.
If John Edwards was of any use to any voting block, all of this would have quietly went away, lest provoking anger in the group that would support John Edwards (who ever that would have been).
Hillary Clinton, although beaten, remained dangerous to Obama so she was found a place at the table of power. Edwards held no such power and his creepy behavior (which is still like a choir boy when compared to the likes of Ted Kennedy) made it easy for him to experience the full weight of the judicial process and the court of American public opinion.
The Dems said it was okay to destroy John Edwards. - 5/18/12, 9:20 AM
- tim maguire said...
I still don't understand the charges against him. As best I can tell, it goes like this:
The money somebody spent on his girlfriend is campaign money. Not reporting it is a violation. But spending it on his girlfriend is also a violation.
So to win, prosecutors have to first successfully argue that it was campaign money than argue that it was not treated like campaign money.
Isn't there an inherent contradiction in this argument? - 5/18/12, 10:17 AM
- edutcher said...
This is why tar and feathers was such a hallowed American tradition.
- Joe said...
John Edwards is scum, but from the summaries I've heard (and they are limited) the prosecution presented very little evidence of a crime. Unless there was a whole lot more information presented than reported, I predict he will be acquitted and don't care.
- Martin L. Shoemaker said...
Wow. I thought I would be the only once choosing the defense in the poll.
This was hush money; but as far as any evidence I can find tells me, it was not campaign money. Ergo it is not a violation of the campaign laws under which he was charged.
Sleazy, but not criminal as charged.
I think the same is true in the whole Rev. Wright imbroglio that just resurfaced: if no campaign funds were involved, then I don't see any crime in a private citizen offering another private citizen money to not say something. Sleazy, but not criminal. - 5/18/12, 10:24 AM
- Balfegor said...
Re: Tim Maguire:
I think the claim is that some third party spending the money on his mistress is a campaign contribution vastly in excess of the campaign contribution limits (violation). It was unreported (violation). Not sure why they aren't going after Bunny Mellon who actually made the contribution (if it even counts as a contribution), but oh well. It may be a scienter issue -- that Edwards knew what the limits were, was familiar with campaign finance laws (in a general way), etc., and she didn't. Haven't been following closely. - 5/18/12, 10:27 AM
- traditionalguy said...
Ndspineli...Juries loved the stories told by a sincere young man to gat justice for a terrible injury to a baby.
This Jury faces a low class sex addict who tortured his dying wife to get some strange pussy on the road, and then did the ultimately stupid act which was to fall in love with the whore, put her on retainer,impregnate her, and lie about it hoping the wife dies quickly.
Believe me, southern Bible Belt Juries have higher standards than that.
They may not understand hoax science from"experts", but they do understand cheap lust addicts who destroy families. That's right in their wheel house. - 5/18/12, 10:36 AM
- Joe said...
"Campaign finance laws are designed to bring the two Americas together at election time,"
What bullshit. Campaign finance laws are designed to help incumbents get reelected.
(Even if you naively think Campaign finance laws are to limit outside influence in elections, they sure as hell have nothing to do with bring anyone together. I'd acquit based on the grounds that the prosecution are idiots.) - 5/18/12, 10:47 AM
- tim maguire said...
Balfegor, that's kind of my point--the prosecutors have to get creative with the definition of "campaign donation" in order to argue that this is one. They then have to turn around and argue that the parties should be punished for not treating it like a campaign donation.
Their second argument undermines their first. - 5/18/12, 11:33 AM
- bgates said...
It's too bad Rielle gave birth already, otherwise the prosecutor could have given voice to the fetus' shame over its father's crimes.
- Beldar said...
In the personal injury lawsuits that Edwards tried before he became a politician, he was continually speaking to and interacting with the jurors, but was never testifying, and never the subject of the questions asked of the jury.
This jury, by contrast, has seen and heard a great deal from John Edwards as a vice presidential nominee in 2004 and as a presidential candidate in 2008, but not a flippin' word from him during this trial. HE DID NOT TAKE THE STAND.
If anything, the fact that he had the reputation of being a successful trial lawyer may actually hurt him to the extent that the jury ponders (contrary to their instructions) his failure to take the stand in his own defense. He doesn't have the excuse of being nervous or shy or inarticulate, and the remaining explanations aren't flattering.
I'm not sure what the outcome will be, but I think the odds are against Edwards now because Judge Eagles apparently refused the defense team's requested jury instruction that would have limited the definition of "campaign contribution" to only those things intended EXCLUSIVELY to benefit a campaign. (Prosecutors argue -- correctly, I believe -- that something of value contributed for the benefit of a candidate and his campaign can have multiple purposes, and that even if these hush money payments were also intended to deceive Elizabeth Edwards, that isn't inconsistent with the money from Bunny and Dead Fred being intended to prevent the American public from finding out what a loathsome hyena Johnny Reid Edwards actually is, in order to preserve his slender hopes that his campaign might lead to the nomination or some consolation prize (like another Veep nomination, a cabinet seat, or a SCOTUS seat). - 5/18/12, 5:33 PM
- Beldar said...
@ tim maguire: Prosecutors don't have to "get creative" at all. All they have to do is point the jurors to the judge's questions and definitions, which in turn are drawn directly from the statute.
- Beldar said...
I've just updated the post on my blog that I linked above (and link again here) to include a link to a .pdf from PACER of the Final Jury Instructions, and to quote the language (from pp. 8-9) that I think are likely to be determinative.
Anyone having trouble figuring out what the case is really about should invest the time to read Judge Eagles' instructions to the jury -- it's all there, and organized and summarized quite ably and, IMHO, quite correctly under the terms of the federal campaign finance laws. - 5/18/12, 5:52 PM

I plan to get that one soon, it's such a beautifully crafted figure. Just pre-ordered my waifu. I'm so damn happy she got another figure. And this one is just beautiful. Really looking forward to getting it, despite the large price tag. Spoiler:

I hope this is an acceptable place to ask. I've got a problem with GSC's "Akemi Homura - You are not alone" figure. Her left arm was apparently not glued to its connector.
They sent me a replacement, but I hope to salvage the original one. Can anyone suggest a good glue type to use? I was going to use regular superglue otherwise. The thing is, they didn't just send me an arm, they sent me a replacement main body as well. If I can salvage this arm and get a stand, I can put up a second figure! |

Oh yes, GSC sends you a replacement figure if your original purchase is defective and it's not on a replacable part (like for nendoroids, they will just send you an extra arm).
I used standard superglue to fix my Rider figma when her hair broke off, and I had no problem with it ever since

In terms of "figure injury", I tend to use Tacky Glue to make the repairs (although in the case of one of my Nendoroid Miku Hatsune figures, in which one of the hair pieces broke when trying to take off the pieces of plastic inserted between connecting pieces, I used tape to connect the piece back together, although I'm considering looking for another head piece to replace the damaged one).

If you have some blu-tack you can try connecting the arm with that as well. Lesser risk involved and you can always remove it if you're unsatisfied with how it looks.

I broke off one of BRS ponytails, and had a friend fix it. He drilled out both parts with a very small drill, and inserted a thin metal rod. Then he used epoxy mixed with black ink for color. Came out very good, you have to look fairly close to see it

This figure (Dark Angel Olivia) might just be on my 'get' list when released (just waiting on how she looks in color)

Thanks to the advice from you guys, I salvaged the arm with superglue.
I figured you deserved to see the results too. This is the figure using the replacement body and arm GSC sent me. On the left is the salvaged arm on the original body GSC wouldn't give me an extra base, so I'm using a Tamashii stand I got some time ago. And this is the two of them along with the regular edition Homura figure |

Good thing I'm satisfied with the GSC version, so I don't need to bother buying the new one.
Like someone mentioned, Koto's Shiki looks like an adult version of IdolMaster's Makoto with a katana

Last week, Blizzard announced that people who bought the game online would have to wait up to 72 hours before progressing through the entire campaign. In an e-mail to Kotaku, a Blizzard representative then explained that this was a temporary restriction. Now that restriction is no more. As Blizzard tells me (and explains on their forums): Advertisement Advertisement Players who download the game will only have the following temporary restrictions:No public game access for unverified digital purchasersNo auction house access (real-money or gold) for unverified digital purchasersUnverified digital purchasers cannot trade items or drop items for other players to receiveUnverified digital purchasers are not able to chat in any public or game channelsUnverified digital purchasers cannot attach a custom message to friend requests, but they can send/accept friend requests, and play with their friendsGlobal Play is not available for unverified digital purchasersThis is for up to 72 hours until Blizzard can verify your credit card information. And it's certainly more reasonable than restricting new players to a single act of the game.Blizzard is also releasing a patch today that fixes several bugs, including an item pathing issue and a crash that would sometimes be triggered by opening chests and interacting with environmental objects.Reply86 repliesLeave a reply
