These two words, stress and childhood, should not go together. Unfortunately, for so many children, they do.
By Amanda M. Ciluffo
Childhood. Just the word itself evokes fond personal memories of finger-painting, climbing weeping willow trees as big as the house, and laying on a grassy hill naming cloud shapes or watching planes go by while eating a red, white, and blue Popsicle from the ice cream truck.
Stress. Another word that brings powerful images to mind; usually images of work and people demanding attention, frantic rushes to meet deadlines, no sleep, and lots of eating, nail biting, smoking, or other not so good habits. That's just thinking about stress, let alone being under it. Stress makes a body tense, teeth grind, and migraines jump for joy.
These two words, stress and childhood, should not go together. Unfortunately, for so many children, they do. From peer suicides, loss of income and home by the family, peer suicide, to sibling substance abuse problems, children today are dealing with stressful events we could not have even imagined when we were their age.
The American Psychological Association's 2010 report, Stress in America, showed that 91 percent of American children knew when their parents were stressed, and 86 percent of those children experienced their own stress and stress reactions, such as sleep and appetite disturbances, because of the stress in the home. Stress can come from anywhere, not just home. According to the National Association of School Psychologists, "more than 160,000 children skip school every day because they feel threatened by another student.
Now, of course, everyone knows that some level of stress in a person's life, child or adult, is normal, healthy, and conducive to developing healthy coping skills and building resiliency. If the stressful even isn't dealt with, when the stress is too overwhelming for the person's coping skills to work, or when the stress doesn't stop, that's when there are problems.
Some signs of stress in children can be irritability, anger or aggressiveness, bedwetting, sleep and appetite disturbance mentioned above, and withdrawing from friends and family. Children who have supportive people in their life and who develop a range of healthy coping skills they can use when stressed become more resilient. Resiliency is the ability to cope with, adapt to, and overcome challenges. It's about coping with problems, and building strengths that protect and promote well-being. The coping skills, good or bad, learned in childhood can stay with people the rest of their lives.
So how do I help? You can help the children in your lives develop positive coping skills and resiliency in many ways. I would say this one is the most important one of all:
Help children feel they are loved and belong.
One of the most important things is a sense of belonging. Children need to know they are loved, lovable, and that there will always be someone who really cares about them and will always be there for them. That person could be a parent, aunt, grandparent, neighbor, or any other reliable person. Show you care for them, in words and in actions. Children need to know they are loved for who they are, not just for things they do that pleases a parent. They need to feel they have place in the family – and that they will be missed if they are away.
Your child's school counselor can be a great resource for you. As always, if the simple interventions don't seem to be enough, consider child and/or family therapy.
This resource from North Carolina State University has information on common stress reactions in children, as well as ways to help children develop healthy coping skills. www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/fcs/pdfs/fcs457.pdf. The APA's report on stress is America is found at: www.apa.org/news/press/releases/stress/national-report.pdf.

Cab Calloway School of the Arts students, staff, and alumni bid farewell to their beloved theater Monday evening, during a school-sponsored "Lights Out" ceremony. The current theater, built in 1960, will be gutted and refurbished as a state-of-the-art theater due to be completed by the fall of 2014.
Cab Calloway School of the Arts students, staff, and alumni bid farewell to their beloved theater Monday evening, during a school-sponsored "Lights Out" ceremony.
The current theater, built in 1960, will be gutted and refurbished as a state-of-the-art theater due to be completed by the fall of 2014.
Cab Calloway Dean Julie Rumschlag said she is looking forward to moving on to bigger and better things.
"I came here in 1999, and the theater has been in a state of terrible disrepair since then," she said. "We have done a lot of makeshift creations to make it work. The students need a performance space where they are able to let their talents show. We are ready to move into a whole new era."
The new theater, which residents approved financing for as part of a February 2012 referendum, will seat 950 guests and include a state-of-the art sound system and ticket booth.
The total cost of the project is $12 million.
Red Clay Consolidated School District Facilities Manager Marcin Michalski said he hopes the community will hold on to fond memories of the past, while embracing the excitement to come.
"The end result will be a functional theater," Michalski said while sharing the details of the renovation with the crowd. "Our goal is to make sure the theater is what [the students] deserve and what everyone voted for."
Michalski added that there will not be a bad seat in the house.
"Anywhere you sit, you will be able to see your son, daughter, or family member perform," he said.
Throughout the evening members of the Cab Calloway community shared their favorite memories of the old theater.
"To my friends and me this room was more than an auditorium," Cab Calloway alum Adam Wahlberg recalled. "It had a different meaning. It was a temple of sorts, a place where you could express yourself without ridicule. Today we close the doors and give it to the contractors. In a year, they will give it back."
Wahlberg, who graduated in 2003, said he and his classmates didn't mind that the theater was in disarray.
"The things that were wrong were reminders that we were taking part in something bigger than ourselves," he said.
Senior Caroline Colino said the seven years she spent in the theater represent a stepping stone for personal and artistic growth, and she is happy other students will get to experience the same.
"I am thankful for the referendum that gives students the opportunity to perform in a theater they truly deserve," she said, fighting back tears.
Following "Lights Out," guests were treated to a performance by the school's Jazz Under the Stars ensemble.
For those looking to have their own piece of Cab Calloway School of the Arts history, "Lights Out" marked the start of a fundraiser allowing donors to support the theatre and obtain a commemorative piece of the current stage flooring.
Cab School Fund board member Chris Trincia said the 6-square-inch pieces will be engraved with a copper seal acknowledging Cab Calloway School of the Arts, Charter School of Wilmington and Wilmington High School Theatre.
"We decided to use pieces of the floor because so many students have graduated from this school and been on this stage," Trincia said. "It means something to them."
Each commemorative piece will be sold for $50, and proceeds will go toward any extra expenses that may be needed to maximize the educational value of the new theater, officials said.
If you are interested in purchasing a commemorative piece, orders can be placed on the school's website, www.cabcallowayschool.org.

Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by NCI. The 1969-2015 US Population Data File is used with mortality data.
Note: When the population size for a denominator is small, the rates may be unstable. A rate is unstable when a small change in the numerator (e.g., only one or two additional cases) has a dramatic effect on the calculated rate. Suppression is used to avoid misinterpretation when rates are unstable.
State Cancer Registries may provide more current or more local data. Data presented on the State Cancer Profiles Web Site may differ from statistics reported by the State Cancer Registries (for more information).

CORRECTION: Due to incorrect information from the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office, the names of Ryan Novak and Ian Lamphere were misspelled in this article initially. Also, Novak was a Crested Butte resident, although he previously had lived in Boulder.
LOVELAND PASS —The five men killed Saturday in Colorado's deadliest avalanche in 50 years were participants in a backcountry snowboarder event called the Rocky Mountain High Backcountry Gathering. Four of the five were expert snowboarders, and one was an expert skier.
They were representatives and founders of snow-sport companies, guides, avalanche experts and veteran backcountry travelers, gathering in the normally safer spring season to celebrate backcountry snowboarding, raise money for the Colorado Avalanche Information Center and test the newest gear.
The five killed in the avalanche were:
• Chris Peters, 32, of Lakewood.
• Joe Timlin, a 32-year-old sales representative with Jones Snowboards from Gypsum and an organizer of the backcountry gathering.
• Ryan Novak, 33, of Crested Butte.
• Ian Lamphere, a 36-year-old skier from Crested Butte with an infant and a fiancée. Lamphere founded the company Gecko Skins, which makes innovative climbing skins.
• Rick Gaukel, a 33-year-old American Mountain Guides Association-certified climbing guide from Estes Park with extensive avalanche education.
The sole survivor of the avalanche, Jerome Boulay, a sales representative with Silverton's Venture Snowboards, was dug free by rescuer Mike Bennett, a Dillon resident.
Bennett spent the day riding on the south-facing Dry Gulch area across from the pass. He said organizers were "super apprehensive about safety."
"Everything was about safety," Bennett said. "Our whole goal was about being safe. The goal for us was just getting together to talk about safety and try some new gear."
Bennett was in the Loveland Valley parking lot, hanging with fellow backcountry snowboarders, when Colorado Department of Transportation officials informed the group of a big avalanche in the Sheep Creek drainage just northeast of the Loveland Pass summit.
Bennett and Dan Pedrow rushed up the pass and prepared their gear for a search. The avalanche was only a couple hundred yards from a turnout on Highway 6.
Bennett said Pedrow was already digging frantically, uncovering what would be a body, when he arrived around 2 p.m. at the middle section of the massive avalanche that released several hundred feet up the slope.
Bennett said he suspected his friends were buried in the debris and began searching with his avalanche beacon and picked up a signal. Two other backcountry travelers skinned up and began helping with the search.
He came across a snowboarder, with only one arm and his head above the icy chunks.
"I didn't hear him yelling. I came around a corner and saw him and heard him at the same time," Bennett said.
Bennett started digging and partially freed the sole survivor, who was later identified as Boulay.
"I said, 'Well, you're breathing and I think you're OK right now, so I'm going to start digging for these other two guys,' " Bennett said.
Boulay said he had been buried for an hour. He told Bennett three others were buried further down the slope and two were nearby.
"Still, I was hoping," Bennett said. "Some of them had Avalungs. Another had a Float pack. We were hoping someone was still alive."
After arduous digging through concrete-like snow, Bennett found his friend Timlin and Gaukel, both tangled in timber about 2 feet below the surface. They were not breathing and had no pulse.
"They were wrapped around each other, below a patch of trees," Bennett said. "The two guys were right there next to (Boulay). He could almost touch them."
Bennett stayed and assisted rescuers from the Loveland ski area, Alpine Rescue Team and Clear Creek Search and Rescue. The last body was pulled from the snow at 5:30 p.m. That man was buried 15 feet deep, Bennett said.
On Friday night, there had been a party and raffle with more than 50 gathering attendees at the Dillon Dam Brewery.
The backcountry event was not affiliated with Loveland Ski Area, although the group was using the parking lot of the closed Loveland Valley area.
The Friday event raised $1,700 for the avalanche center.
Summit County avalanche forecaster Scott Toepfer spoke at the party.
Toepfer shared the recent avalanche forecast for the Summit County and Vail area, warning of "deep persistent slabs and fresh wind slabs" on the north, east and southeast aspects near and above tree line.
Toepfer said a snowboarder had been killed Thursday on a north-northeast-facing slope near Vail Pass in an avalanche that triggered near tree line.
A few days earlier, as heavy snow fell and high winds loaded slopes, avalanches in the Straight Creek drainage on the west side of the Eisenhower Tunnel had ripped to the ground on the same weak layer of rotten snow near the ground.
"One thing that we always try to find are patterns," Toepfer said as he geared up early Sunday to go investigate the massive slide. "Well, we are seeing one lately: near tree line, between 11,800 (feet) and 12,200 (feet) on that north-northeast aspect."
All five men killed in the avalanche were wearing their equipment and all were carrying essential avalanche rescue gear.
Four were wearing splitboards — snowboards that split into wide skis that are used with climbing skins to ascend slopes — and one, Lamphere, was wearing skis with his skins also attached.
Avalanche investigators Saturday and Sunday said the group appeared to be well prepared and aware of avalanche danger.

Tradition - Tennessee Lives and Legacies is a photography book and companion exhibit highlighting the state's folk heritage through 25 profiles of folk arts subjects across Tennessee who preserve arts and culture distinctive to their families, communities, or places. The inspiration for the project draws on 25 years of field work experience by Dr. Robert Cogswell, Director of the Tennessee Arts Commission Folklife Program. Nashville photographer Dean Dixon was contracted to provide images that compliment Cogwell's expressive essays. He traveled across the state over a period of a year and a half and photographing the subjects in their homes and communities and has provided stunning images for both the book and exhibit.
The project testifies to the strength and diversity of Tennessee's grassroots cultural life, and to the importance of everyday people who continue to sustain its art forms and practices through their mastery and dedication. The subjects—most individuals, but a few pairs and trios of people—represent different parts of Tennessee, different ethnicities, and different cultural specialties—from music and crafts to cooking and marble-playing. Dixon's photography captures the personalities of these interesting and mostly unsung people in settings significant to them. Accompanying text provides details on their art and life stories. The portraiture of Tradition speaks to the reality, dignity, and vibrancy of Tennessee folklife in ways not often represented in our institutional culture or mainstream arts circles.

To be honest, I dont expect a functional wheel.
It will probably be sculped on the armour.
To be honest, I dont expect a functional wheel.
It will probably be sculped on the armour.
I just bought the vintage Dragstor not too long ago, bit different but it works lol. I'd definitely like to see a modern incarnation sometime soon.
I don't think the action features on most toys are needed now. I don't need the wheel or my Horde Trooper to blow apart at the expense of the toy itself
Dragstor was a favorite of mine growing up. i think i played with him & blade the most. he is a must for me. dont know how hes going to look as a classic though.
I don't know why a free-rolling wheel would be a problem. Tri-Klops visor rotates, Man-E's faces will; a working wheel (read: not a ripcord action) would be tops and I can see a big uproar on the horizon if fans didn't get that. He's already a pretty involved sculpt. Tossing in a wheel wouldn't be that difficult.
In any event, I think it would be great if we got him soon!

Instagram: Just_Thommy
As for Dragstor, I can't see a real wheel in the chest from a tooling perspective, so we'd likely get it just sculpted in as part of the chestplate. I'm sure we'll get him, though, so long as the line keeps going.
"I will use this power for all the good that can be done, to work for peace, to encourage virtue, and above all, to preserve life in all its forms..." Superman
I don't think a working wheel is in the cards. They are not going to make a new body sculpt just to include a wheel in the chest and torso.
I agree that they will probably make the wheet into the armor. Other than, I think he would be rather easy.
You just read a post from the head Honcho of Nerds On A Couch!
With the news about getting Leech in September, I once again was kinda bummed that it ain't Dragstor. He's my favorite Horde member, I'd so love to get him sooner than later!
I hope the Four Horsemen will add his old ripcord as a whip. New color scheme and head for the crossbow would be awesome as well, since the old weapon was just Mantenna's crossbow re-used.
I think a working wheel would be possible technically, but it would reguire a new torso and might be too expensive for Mattel to go with.
"Why's Dragstor riding on Night Stalker?" "Cause he can."
I hope he comes with a working wheel, even if it means sacrificing torso articulation. It doesn't need a cord, but it should spin and have a rubbery, tire-like surface.
I remember when I saw a Dragstor add as a kid I somehow got it into my head that he was actually moving by pushing air through his engine exhausts. I always imagined activating him standing up and having him fly around the room :-D
I was a bit iffed when I finallly got him and saw that it was just a pull cord, but he still became one of my favourites. I would always arrange my good guys and send Dragstor crashing through them :-)

I had him as a kid and I would love to see him sooner rather than later. The more Horde the better!
Wow, surprised to see so many fellow Dragstor lovers.
He was a favorite of mine when I got him, so much so that he was a major player in my MOTU.
Great Black Wizard figure please!
I agree that Dragstor, with the wheel, needs to be made....and soon. And "masterenglish," that's awesome.
That Dragstor custom does look awesome. I hope if and when we get to the real one, it looks just as good if not better. Here's hoping the mask is removable too.

Holy guacamole!! That custom is absolutely gorgeous!!! I have to confess that Dragstor is my least fave of the old Horde figures, though. Not that he isn't cool looking, but I would rather see all of the others first I guess.
masterenglish...that Dragstor is AWESOME!
As for Dragstors ripcord/dipstick, I think it would be PERFECT if they re-made it as his weapon. Keep the end the same and put it on a chain and you get an anchor, or his "breaks."
He could also use it to hook enemies and bring them closer or to angle up buildings (so he can drive up the sides).
Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.
You can join the Illumina Facebook page here!
That's pretty close, to how he should look...
One of your best customs, dude!
I think I would be fine with a solid piece that looked like a wheel similar to Master English's awesome custom there. If they managed to get a working wheel in there, that would be great too. I kind of doubt they would be able to get him to balance well enough on the wheel for the ripcord action to be of any use, though.
Here's a REAL challenge for the 4 Horsemen: try to make a BETTER Dragstor version than Masterenglish's !
Personally, I think that's almost impossible... That custom Dragstor is what Dragstor should look like ! Just add a functional wheel, and he's perfect !

INDIANAPOLIS - With a time of 1:44.37, Columbia's David Jakl capped the final of the 2013 NCAA Men's Swimming Championships with a 19th place finish in the 200 butterfly. The Monterey Park, Calif. native is the first to represent Columbia in the butterfly events at the NCAA Championships since Gered Doherty in 2000.
On Friday, March 29, Jakl competed in his first event at the NCAA Championships hitting the pool in the 100 butterfly after electing not to comepete in the 200 freestyle. In the 42 swimmer field, Jalk posted a third career-best time of 47.55 to place 35th overall.
The sophomore finishes the season with the school record in the 200 fly. He clocked in at a program record time of 1:44.14 at the 2013 Ivy League Championships to claim a runner-up finals finish earlier this month. Jakl earned second team All-Ivy League honors in both the 100 fly and 200 fly with second place finishes.

When I first came down with cancer and began the chemo routine, I never thought twice about the color pink. Now I notice every woman who comes into the chemo lab decked out in a pink hat with matching pink scarf.
I understand that the color pink has come to designate those with breast cancer, which leaves out men for the most part. But today I wonder whether pink is confined to breast cancer. Do some of those women running around with pink hats have colon cancer? Or lung cancer?

NHTSA — Tires Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2002-2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer is known for many things, but perhaps it is most famous for its faulty fuel gauge.
This gauge flip-flops more than a politician during election season. Some report that the gauge says "empty" after a fill-up, while others report the gauge says "full" when they're running on fumes. Either way, there's one thing everyone seems to agree on: the darn thing is just wrong.
Following hundreds of complaints and a few accidents allegedly caused by the malfunction, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened an investigation into the issue in May 2011. Unfortunately for frustrated owners, no recall has been announced.

Mashable has rumors layoffs at OnLive amid a retraction of their original report that the cloud gaming service was shutting down today following a tweet by InExile's Brian Fargo to that effect (thanks nin). The story currently suggests the entire staff has been let go, though some may be rehired for the company's next phase. Mashable's official statement from OnLive on this is: "no comment on the news other than to say, the OnLive service is not shutting down." Kotaku notes that the OnLive Blog has word on a free indie game giveaway, to the extent you can own a game streamed from the cloud, saying they are offering SpaceChem and Space Pirates and Zombies (S.P.A.Z.) for free. Update: Gamasutra now says they can confirm that the entire OnLive staff was fired today.

Use of liens common in pursuit of casino debts
Over the past 12 years, LeFoll & LeFoll, a Rocky Hill-based father-and-daughter legal team, has handled hundreds of debt-collection cases for Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Resort Casino, sometimes attaching liens to real estate to compel deadbeat gamblers to pay up.
"Unless I'm not privy to something new, it's a very common practice," Raymond LeFoll said last week. "It's not just casino debt collection, it's any debt collection."
In Massachusetts, where gaming regulators are inching toward the issuance of the Bay State's first casino licenses, Attorney General Martha Coakley has called for a ban on casinos' placement of liens on homes as a debt-collection device.
Citing a Boston Globe report on the Connecticut casinos' use of the practice, Coakley, in a letter to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, wrote that "protecting against predatory lending and overly aggressive debt collection in the gaming industry is critical, because the odds are stacked against the patron being able to earn back the value of the loan."
The Globe quoted I. Nelson Rose, an expert on gambling law and a Whittier Law School professor, who said he had not heard of "any casino company that goes after homes." The article said it was "unusual for a casino to use property liens to collect debts."
However, Phillip Van Embden, a Millville, N.J., attorney who has represented many Atlantic City casinos and some in Las Vegas, said New Jersey casinos have long extended credit and attached real estate liens in debt-collection cases.
"It's not an unusual approach," Van Embden said of using liens. "It's as routine as it gets … like the sun coming up in the morning."
In New Jersey, he said, any creditor, including a casino, that obtains a court judgment against a debtor can "register" that judgment, a process that automatically creates a property lien.
"That judgment will sit there and sit there and maybe one day the equity in the house increases, inflation kicks in, or maybe the owner wants to refinance - but he can't because there's a judgment on it," Van Embden said. "He can't do anything until he clears up the debt."
Van Embden likened banning casinos' use of liens to "cutting off your head to cure a headache. The patient will die."
Casinos that don't have some reasonable expectation of getting paid - and a reasonable way of compelling debtors to pay - will stop issuing credit, he said. "And then they'll be out of business."
Rose, who was surprised to hear that Atlantic City casinos use liens, said in an interview last week that the debt-collection tools available to casinos differ from state to state. A Mohegan Tribe official who took issue with the statements of some experts quoted in the Globe report made a similar point.
"Unfortunately, the story neglected to give a full picture of the use of credit in all (gaming) jurisdictions in the United States," said Chuck Bunnell, the Mohegans' chief of staff. "In the United States, the use of liens is in fact a common practice when someone is unwilling to repay a debt - whether to a casino, a credit card company or any other business. In fact, in Nevada, Wynn uses criminal prosecutions to recover debt."
Wynn Resorts, Mohegan Sun's competitor for the sole Greater Boston casino license the gaming commission is expected to award by the end of May, operates casinos in Las Vegas, where Nevada law treats gambling debts as criminal offenses.
Las Vegas casinos submit debt-collection cases involving "markers" or counter checks to the Clark County District Attorney's Office, according to Chief Deputy District Attorney Jake Merback, who oversees the office's bad check unit. Offenders can face imprisonment and/or fines.
"We look at them the same as any other bad check case," he said.
Rose, the law school professor, said Nevada casinos are the most aggressive in their use of the legal system to collect debts.
"They're using the DA as a collection agency," he said. "It's unseemly at the very least and a misuse of the criminal justice system."
While a Connecticut gambler who fails to clear a debt at a Connecticut casino may ultimately have a lien placed on his property, he could face the threat of jail time in Nevada if he walked away from a casino debt there, Rose said.
"So having a lien on your house is a lot better than getting arrested by police in Connecticut and put on a plane to Las Vegas," he said.
Nevada casinos can also pursue a gambling debt by filing a civil suit.
A Wynn Resorts spokesman did not respond to a request for information about the company's debt-collection practices. Las Vegas-based MGM Resorts International, which operates casinos in Nevada and other states and is expected to be granted a license to open one in Springfield, Mass., declined to discuss the subject.
"We're going to need to take a pass on making a comment or providing info. We are still engaged with the licensing process," an MGM spokeswoman said.
Credit for high rollers
Bobby Soper, Mohegan Sun's president and chief executive officer, provided email responses to a series of questions about Mohegan Sun's use of liens and extension of credit. He said the use of liens is "relatively infrequent" and "always ... a tool of last resort."
"It is important to note that we have NEVER foreclosed on any of these liens," Soper wrote.
In extending credit, Mohegan Sun determines a patron's credit worthiness through the use of a personal credit report; a gaming report showing where he or she has established and paid on a casino credit line; a bank report showing cash assets and a payment method; and verification of a residence address.
Casinos typically offer credit to high-rolling patrons who play table games and who don't want to carry large amounts of cash.
Without the ability to extend credit, a casino would find it "extremely challenging" to accommodate this "significant and important group of patrons," Soper wrote. "That is the reason almost all gaming jurisdictions and casino operations offer credit."
At Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I., the former slots parlor that introduced table games last year, officials have discussed extending credit to patrons for the first time, a move that would require legislative approval.
In pursuing Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods gambling debtors outside Connecticut, LeFoll, the Rocky Hill lawyer, said his firm deals with "correspondent" attorneys in 12 other states. In all of those states, he said, casino debt collections and liens are handled the same way his firm handles them.
"Would the Massachusetts attorney general prefer Whitey Bulger collect the debts?" LeFoll asked. "I'd rather take my chances with the courts."

Local political action committee organizing kick off event for signature petition
A locally formed group aimed at adding sexual orientation and gender identity to the protected classes in Missouri's nondiscrimination policy is hosting a series of kickoff events as it prepares to collect signatures for its initiative petition.
Missourians for Equality is hosting a local kick off at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Kirksville Saturday from 7 to 9 p.m.
The group is using the event as a springboard to their signature drive during which they will attempt to gather more than 100,000 signatures in order to be considered for the ballot in 2014.
"People don't realize you can be fired because of your perceived sexual orientation in this state," said group executive director Aaron Malin in a press release. "This campaign looks to educate people on the matter."
Missourians for Equality is a non-partisan political action committee.

Over all, they don't look good...not as in facially bt in overall looks. The little girl is very pretty but her skirt/top abi is it a gown is just too fussy for a little girl (she reminds me of the girls on the toddlers & tiaras show on TLC) as for the mom; her only saving grace is that she is cute looking BUT that skirt of hers is a disaster waiting to happen! Whats with the slit down to there? she does not have the legs/thighs to pull it off unlike Eku Edewor & Agbani & it looks trashy...no apologies for that. You don't dress like that for a public function with a daughter n tow. What message are you trying to pass on to her? Its ok to look half naked? cos if she dares sit down or cross her legs while sitting down, all hell will be let lose. abi I lie? Who wants to stare at tired looking, cellulite designed thighs at a function? One can look sexy without having everything bulging/ straining to fly out into our eyes.ReplyDelete

CN opens new intermodal terminal at Calgary Logistics ParkWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
The first Canadian National trains to serve the intermodal terminal for containerized goods at the company's new Calgary Logistics Park arrived on Jan. 10.
Jean-Jacques Ruest, CN executive vice president and chief marketing officer, said, "The opening of this intermodal terminal launches our logistics park operation, which will provide seamless transportation solutions to rail customers moving products and commodities into and out of Calgary, one of the fastest growing regional markets in North America.
The new facility, with ready access to Stoney Trail, the Trans Canada Highway and other major roadways, is situated on Twp Road 250/McKnight Boulevard and is 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) from Calgary International Airport.
The new intermodal terminal, relocated from CN's Sarcee Yard in southeast Calgary, has: 30 percent more capacity than CN's existing Calgary intermodal terminal and space for further expansion; four automated in-gates and three automated out-gates to keep truck turnaround times in the terminal to below 45 minutes; a container yard for convenient storing of international containers and specialized equipment for temperature-controlled products, allowing CN to expand its existing reefer volumes.
The logistics park has space to accommodate more than 2.5 million square feet of warehouse distribution facilities, including a rail-to-truck transload operation and a new CN Autoport facility to serve the regional finished vehicles market.
Ruest said, "The Calgary Logistics Park will help CN to reduce transportation costs of its customers through highly-efficient materials handling, transportation and distribution processes and thus, will help them grow their businesses."

Battle Cat has been the same, but with each subsequent run a mold can decay and tightness issues come up, it happens all the time, look at the Classics Seeker molds from Transformers....Battle Cat has likely had 2 or 3 runs if not more before they stopped production....but how many were made each time? enough to build up stock, the molds deform and it's highly unlikely that they would shell out more money to replace them, so they will run them until they can't use them anymore.
I know my Mo-Larr Skeletor is looser than the original Skeletor, and the "Essentials" Skelly is looser than that....
Figures like Hordak & She-Ra who have had lesser runs are hodling up much better, and old stock is truly mixed in with them, because I just recieved a first edition Hordak without a mailer....from Matty. You will likely not ever receive a first edition He-Man of Skeletor from Matty, the reruns have been that many.

I have a second release He-Man that is exceptionally well done. I opened my party pack shipment and all 3 of the new ones are super glossy and have slightly sloppy paint apps on the eyes and eyebrows. One of them is literally doing the people's eyebrow circa 1999. The one I opened as a spare had terrible ankle joints and a lazy eye. Seeing him next to the older one is astounding. The new one is a lot darker and his shine is awful. I'm just glad he's a spare. The BC i opened is actually a little better than my older one tho and his neck is a little tighter. If new customers grabbed figures of this quality, I truly think they'd not purchase anymore.

Fear is faith in failure
I have every MOTUC figure now (after this months sale where I got BA He-man to complete my collection) and I have opened every one (I only care about vintage toys MOC - I think MOTUC actually looks pretty poor on card as you cannot see much of the contents). This includes : 1st editions of He-man and Skeletor, reissues of both, and ones from TRU packs, etc.
There is a *marked* difference between the first editions and the later ones. I mean, one just has to hold them in your hands - you can feel the quality, weight, and texture of the plastic has drastically changed. The first He-man and Skeletor are what I would expect out of a modern collector line of toys - whereas now they generally use cheapy-cheapo plastic (and now, blastic), which feels very mass-market cheap.
It was a gradual change at the beginning - I just opened BA He-man (my first) and he is rather quality feeling. You can tell he's from early in the line. Most new figures feel cheap when compared to the first few, anyone who has held one can tell you the difference - in weight, texture, and just overall "feel".
But yes I do agree and pointed out as well that the older figures are much more solid than the new ones, despite their previous flaws. But my TP He-Man extra is nice and tight, and heavy, the best of my 10 figures I opened as extras for display or to customize actually, because even Khan had really loose ankles, before he became my Khan 2.0 custom. MAA was second & Horde Prime a 3rd....then Faker, my Mo-Larr Skeletor was the worst for loosnes, and my TRU Zodac is a little warped in the boots, and TRU Stratos has a looser head and knees. But compared to Khan's loose ankles, at least they could stand well.

I don't have BC MOC, and probably never will. I bought him to open him. Cuz I love him, of course.
But I have to say that upon opening him from the mailer, I was very disappointed. So if I was a MOC collector, I would've been a little disappointed. His mask was sideways a little, and was off center. His back feet were pointing straight up in the air, which is completely impossible physically. And yes, he had a TON of ties and cardboard in there. But it was those feet that got me... if anyone has any pics of his feet that are pointing straight up in package, you should post them. It's quite gross, really.

Well, curious as to how to tackle the Battle Cat strap. Will try to heat it up soon. That'll probably do the trick.
And my first new MOC figs were He-Man and BC from the party-pack! I have left them MOC, but I saw a bunch of feedback from people regarding BC, so I figured I better open mine now, so Matty/DR could help me if there was a big issue....
He-Man, no major issues. Pretty good overall. Some tiny orange and green dots on his skin near the gauntlet, the hinges on the ball joints are a lighter flesh tone, and the swivel part on his ankles (the ones that move left to right) are loose. Actually my biggest issue was with the half power sword. I wanted to remove it while leaving the bubble in tact. Well, I tried bending the sword some, thinking it was soft and had some give. Bad idea! It left a plastic bend mark/burn. By that point I just cut the plastic. Kinda bummed, may try painting over the front of the sword to cover it up.
Battle Cat took a while to unpack, but better over packaged than under packaged! His helmet was wonky while in the box, and that resulted in a wonky helmet out of the box! It's shape is no longer symetrical and the top horns are now bent off to the left side. Kinda sucky. The harness strap does not fit. I have tried some with fair effort. Will try heating it soon. The main neck joint was pretty loose (looks like a common issue) but I read some advice and used about 4-5 of the clear bands to wrap around the joint and tighten it up. Seems much better.
Overall, I'd say an ok experience. Glad my BC's legs did fall apart or break off like other people's!!!
After opening 95% of mine....I found that about 16 figures out of 45 had more noticeable, or annoying issues, Battle Cat however, is a re-issue, resold last October I believe....and is actually perfectly tight, a first edition Panthor however had a loose ab section....but not enough to matter.
One thing that really bugs me the figures with the long furries, have issues posing, the loin cloth is too hard, Rattlor's is just perfect, since it's not the same one.
1st edition Keldor couldn't stand due to seriously loose feet, both of them....
Teela has a deformed peg hole on one arm, and due to that her elbow is loose, and her heads sit too high on the peg, and her wrist was deformed by package
July 2011 All-Star Sale He-Man, loose ankles, and his hair was too high
1st edition She-Ra, hair too high on her Filmation styled head, and loose joints
Re-issue Beast Man had all loose joints in his legs and feet
Man-E-Faces has loose shoulders
Frosta, loose knee, reversed forearms.
Draego-Man's head pops off the socket is too big or not deep enough, the feet are looser, and the knees are looser
Tri-Klops has loose feet and knees
Mo-Larr Skeletor had loose knees, ankles and an elbow
TRU Stratos has loose ankles and knees
Re-issue Trap Jaw #1 had a reversed foot, making his calf backwards....
BP She-Ra, head too high on peg, and a few loose joints
Re-issue Faker #1, loose ankles, and knees
Re-issue Skeletor had a bent leg
1st Edition Mer-Man, looser joints, not major, but still notable
Some figures had a few paint issues, not serious....
BA Skeletor has sloppy purple paint on the black bands of the armor....for example....
And oddly enough, none (so far) of the Blastic figures I own aside from the MOSC Spikor....are just fine, maybe a pin hole where a spec under the paint that was painted over came off, and Rattlor has a few small spots that were not painted enough.
Perfect figures were
Battle Cat (r)
Prince Adam / Orko
SMAA (sdcc)
DB Skeletor
MAA (r)
Sy-Klone (r)
BA He-Man
Faker (r) #2
TP He-Man
TRU Zodac
Still MOSC
Shadow Weaver
Stinkor (but has purposely (by Mattel design) reversed forearms)
Trap Jaw (r) #2
Other figures not listed were OK, but had minor issues not worth complaining about, nor were the figures perfect....

Is this thread about quality issues or the fact that people are comparing MOTUC to their perfect childhood memories?

Sorry seth-man.
'Really can't take this thread seriously. Anyone that opens a toy and complains about the number of twist ties sounds like someone that's already set their mind to being negative. Friendly advice: never again open another action figure of any kind. Odds are you will always be disappointed.

Cool checklist:
The ties in MOTUC are annoying but no where near as bad as they used to be in Transformers till they started using paper string. Not that it's ever been so bad it's made me not want to open a product i've brought.

I think this whole experience was based upon way to high expectations.
Seeing the background where you have kept everything MOC and probably only seen pictures of the figures online you made it up in your mind for them to be perfect. Nothing is perfect, things that are mass produced have plenty of flaws, especially something as fragile as a collectible figure. Quality will range quite wildly as well.
Sucks that it didn't live up to your expectations, but do with the collection as you want and what makes you happy, that's whats important. For me, an unopened figure kind of defeats the point, but then again I have never been a MOC collector so I am biased. But as a point to make, that does make my experience with figures vast, and will give me expectations that are realistic.
Fabulous secret powers revealed
MOTUC are some of the least packaged figures I collect. Snip the couple of elastics and pop out the figure...done.
Personally the only way I could get the saddles right on Panthor and BC was to remove the saddle, reposition it to where it was right and then strap it back on, really putting those straps on tight across the underside of the figure. Once that was done, the saddle was fine.
Great Black Wizard figure please!
