Welcome back Trans, I was starting to feel smart without you around
Gibby. Talk to Rogue. If you don't want Rogue's stuff just get AGD stuff through him. It's rare to find people that sell just the parts that cost almost as much to ship as the item costs. Anyhow. Your company should make a updated version of Spy Vs Spy (seen the Mountain Dew commercial). That game ruled when I was a kid, and I miss playing it. Don't know who owns the rights etc to it but it needs to be redone.Originally Posted by gibby
BUY great quality gear, parts from RogueFactor, SoCal PRIDE!!feedback
Remember if it doesn't say RPG... it's not the real deal and probably voids the warranty
Hehe! Funny you mentioned the spy vs. spy commercials since that idea popped into my head too! But you know what, I don't think I played the game when I was younger, or at least I don't remember...what system was it for? All I remember was reading M.A.D. comic books and spy vs. spy was one of my favorites.Originally Posted by RoadDawg

Gosh... I'm not sure of the system. It was on an OLD computer that took the black (actual floppy) floppy disks. The Drive was totally external. I'll ask my dad what system it was on. All I know the game ruled. You were stuck on an island and in order to get off you had to battle the other spy for the plans and parts to build a submarine to get off the island before the valcano erupted and flattened the place. You'd set traps similar to that on the commercial or old fashion stab the guy and kill him (dies for a couple minutes of the 10 min or so scenario). It was good fun.Originally Posted by gibby

must be a live pick i wont settle for auto crap
Too late homes. Went with auto..Figured that since this particular game has been opened to all of AO, it'd be better to go w/ auto as opposed to trying to coordinate times, etc.
If you want a live, then setup another game, I'll be happy to kick your arse in it too!
ok ill set up another one tomarrow oh and umm what site did u make that league on?
Yahoo..free and easy
Exactly. Hey does anyone know a place that can run a league that has bonues (ie once you pass 300 yds pass you get 5 bonus points, etc)? I'm having trouble determining if yahoo or espn support that.
Don't know off the top of my head..will check when I get a chance..
3 days without a post? Seriously guys, get a life!
Hi Everyone!!!!!

I completely disagree with this..for one I'm from Hawaii so coconut water was a staple only in the main lad was it a fad and I don't need a list, and I also love sales which I stock up on. I'm considered slim at 99lbs, a little taller than 5'3, and was a personal trainer.. I'd like to know from this article what they consider slim because more 80% of women are more than 10 lbs over weight, which you see all around everyday.

Most of these are common sense and I do try to follow them whenever I can. Plus avoiding alcohol is always great!

I have lost 50 pounds doing what this article says to do. the one other thing I do is to type my menu at the stop of the grocery list, then list the ingredients for each meal, which is my shopping list. I buy only the items on the list. Everything healthy, especially fresh vegetables and salmon. My husband and I even splurge by cutting in half a rib eye steak.

This made me think. Yes, not shopping when tired or rushed would make a big difference for me. I'd probably buy less convenience foods.

Bryan Cranston has an authoritative voice, which all by itself would qualify him to narrate "Big History."
But there's another reason Cranston is a fine choice for this new docuseries, which pledges to reveal "one grand unified theory" for how every event in history (13.7 billion years of it) is intertwined by science. Cranston, after all, starred in the recently concluded drama "Breaking Bad" as Walter White, the nation's favorite psychotic former high-school chemistry teacher.
"Walt was a passionate teacher," Cranston says with a laugh, "and even through the dastardly deeds that he found himself doing later on, he was still a teacher: He taught Jesse the chemistry of cooking meth."
"Breaking Bad" is behind him, and now, in Cranston's current TV project, he is as much student as teacher as he confronts each script for the 16-episode-plus-finale series, which premieres Saturday at 10 p.m. EDT on the H2 network (an extension of the History channel).
"The series uses science and history to show how various things that we take for granted these days had their origins thousands of years ago," Cranston says by phone from the Los Angeles studio where he is busy taping his commentary.
Two half-hour episodes of "Big History" will air on premiere night.
"The Superpower of Salt" reveals its subject to be far more than the thing you cut down on if you have high blood pressure.
"New York City wouldn't be the city that it is without salt," Cranston declares in the episode. Moreover, salt helped determine the road system of America and beyond: It "has silently engineered our global map."
Salt's all-important role in animal life was demonstrated eons ago by the genesis of the egg, a portable container for salty water that allowed a creature to leave the sea for dry land to procreate there. (Even the amniotic sack in the womb serves as a personal ocean for the fetus, he notes.)
The second episode, "Horse Power Revolution," makes clear the noble equine's legacy goes deeper than pulling a plow and toting Paul Revere on his midnight ride.
It was early nomads in Central Asia some 6,000 years ago who first rode horses, Cranston reports.
Among many unexpected benefits the horse spurred was pants. Citizens of ancient Rome wore tunics, which were impractical for riding horses, as Roman soldiers must have realized anew while battling barbarian enemies who sported this sartorial innovation. The Roman cavalry soon got on board. From there, pants became the rage for clotheshorses the world over.
Prior to the H2 series, Big History began as a course developed to help students better understand the world by revealing "big picture" connections between different fields of study. A free, online version is available online.
"I love learning how a moment in history carries through to today's life," says Cranston.
Asked what kind of student he was during his school years, he recalls, "I was good when I wanted to be. And I could get enthused about any subject if a teacher made it come alive.
"That's what this series does. It describes the relationship we have to our history. It explains how and why this is important to ME. That's what's key!"

Radiator (bottom fed) REGULUS SOLLARIUS SD8/ 80 775x800mm
The selection of a particular type of heaters influences greatly the energy saving capacity of the central heating (c.h.) system at work, as well as the thermal comfort felt by users.
Regulus heaters are characterized by:
- Low water capacity, many times lower than water capacity of other heaters. The installation has low thermal inertia; hence, the problem of overheated rooms disappears.
- Lightness (small weight) of heaters. Once the heating is on, heaters warm up rapidly to full capacity, whereas for other heaters with greater load weight, it takes roughly the same time to become barely lukewarm. This characteristic also facilitates in rapid heating up of rooms in transitory periods (spring, autumn). Even during a cool summer, it makes sense to turn on Regulus installation, so as to heat up rooms by a few degrees or so.
- High thermal conductivity of materials being used to make heaters (copper and aluminum). They are characterized by the highest performance as regards receiving of thermal energy from a heating medium, even if such medium has low temperature.
- Vast active surface. When completely exposed - vast gross heat transfer surface between heater and surroundings. This generates excellent heating effect for any installation operating temperatures, inclusive of low temperatures (heat pumps, condensation boilers).
- They actively determine the feeling of thermal comfort; serve to minimize temperature differences between rooms. Thanks to intensive heat convection, they are active in the process of mixing of air in rooms, thus generating inside them, an almost uniform temperature distribution with no "cold zones". They aid in the airing of rooms.
- Being light weight in nature. A major advantage of Regulus heaters. Example: the biggest heater, measuring some 2m in length, weighs 16 kg (steel panel heater of comparable size weighs a couple times more). This feature facilitates in transporting and it makes possible one-person assembly, as well as the hanging up of heaters on fragile wooden walls or on gypsum – cardboard walls.
- Durability of the heaters: copper and aluminum do not corrode the way that steel does.
Regulus heaters are available in all RAL colors, also in the Metallic Version (natural Aluminum).

The Cradle Will Rock As I'm Drivin' Down Highway 40 In My Big Ol' Pick Up Truck.
There's a really neat page-turning style advert for Grayskull on Matty and a nifty Castle Grayskull walls backdrop - they're going all out for this!
Most-wanted MOTUC: Granita - Hunga the Harpy - The Melog - Dylamug - Sprag, Sprocker and Spritina - the Twiggets - King Ahgo - Filmation Grizzlor, Mantenna, Leech, Modulok and Multi-Bot
Most wanted Filmation style MOTUC figures:
Hunga the Harpy, Webstor, Kobra Khan, Leech, Grizzlor, Mantenna, Rattlor, Catra Cat Form, Ram Man, Count Marzo, King Miro, Twiggets, Frosta, Kothos and Admiral Scurvy.
Just imagine how much support the castle would get if you could swap two of the front teeth with two giant Filmation ones! This would be way more appealing to most fans that the stupid little knob that's removable on top of the dome part.
I also hope that they won't slavishly follow the interior of the vintage Castle Grayskull. It was BORING!!!!
The 200X castle had great interior. The Hall of secret was awesome.
Once again, I think the line has lost a lot of fans and drawn a lot of criticism for being too self obsessed with itself, slavishly following vintage style and every unproduced concept. If the Castle does not incorporate any filmation elements, it will definitely be a let down.
But I'm still getting one as it's going to look awesome no matter what.
I was thinking about starting a petition thread once the castle has been officially greenlit. Not a rant thread, but just a list of ideas fans have about what to incorporate in the castle to make it the BEST CASTLE EVER. A portal to Etheria (a simple mirror sticker) would go a long way.
And it's not like there isn't any room in the castle to incorporate new ideas: the original vintage castle only had 2 levels. This one had 3.
I really hope they'll give us some filmation nod (the portal, come on! it's such a great idea) instead of slavishly reproducing those godawful stickers of a retro computer etc. And I'd much rather have extra filmation teeths to swap with the Mark Taylor one than a stupid torture table or a bat jet pack.
"A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His word speaks only truth. His wrath undoes the wicked."
Seriously though, I really hope Castle Grayskull makes it past the pre-order stage. This is a definite must-have item! You can take so many cool pictures of your figures in front of this, or inside of this. Transformation videos, too!
You could also buy and extra and paint it white and gold to be the newly build Castle Grayskull, like in MYP!
Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.

AGREED. They have been WAY too obsessed with staying exactly on vintage-model.
And I would LOVE it if they had that big mirror from the Sorceress' throne room!!! That was KEY to the mythos of the series!!!

But I also agree that perhaps that window could widen just a little. All of this is easy to address after it's greenlit, and the 4H get the marching orders on it.
I certainly hope little things like this are what's keeping others from pre-ordering?!
I also believe there might be room for other hopes like Oulala has for incorporating possible Filmation nods. Again, I'm not a filmation guy, but if it gets this castle made, I'm all for some inclusions like that.
It's like He-Man and Skeletor teaming up to make this happen!!!

Well I am pre-ordering this. I really think its great to have such a fan felt line like MOTUC. All of the Hasblo lines have fallen to slinkies and zu zu pet run off ideas. Its nice to have a line that is geared towards us "forever fans".

Hmmm. I don't understand the reasoning for the wooden door, shingles, and windowsill.

That video is AMAZING. Oh man I want this so bad. We must make this happen. Its so epic...
I posted this on TheFwoosh, but I'll post it here. Just some food for thought:
I tend to think of it this way for fence-sitters. If you're on the fence, it means a good part of you wants this. So imagine what would happen if this goes through and you see the eventual actual pics of this bad boy.
Imagine people posing and taking pictures of their figures with it.
It's the ultimate play set. It's the ultimate backdrop.
This is probably the last, great play set that will ever be made. Something of this scale and ambition would simply never be attempted at retail. Even the impressive TMNT playset is just a bunch of stickers and cardboard compared to this thing. All the details will be sculpted. It'll be painted.
It's more than just a huge chunk of plastic. It's action figure history.
Are you really going to be satisfied when this thing comes out and others have it and are enjoying it and you don't and you can't? Maybe it's safer to wait, but I'm willing to guess the day-of price is at least $300. And I doubt they are making a huge surplus.
Just something to think about...

Giving us the Castle Grayskull robot I think would be the perfect selling point to getting us to pay the $250.
Just saying. Give us a figure and that's sort of more bang for your buck this set really needs.

But sadly scott has already shot this idea down over on ask matty.
MAYBE if we get a bit above the minimum we might see it added into the playset. But as of "minimum" we wont get the robot with the playset.
Or its possible we might get the Protector Robot as a SDCC item, that would be nice. Scott has already stated that they are working on the sculpting of the next SDCC item right now.

Guys we really need to get Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg on board with this movement.
Someone needs to get them to re-tweet the pre-order link or the size comparison video. I mean they had "By the power of the Grayskull" in Hot Fuzz. They grew up in the 80's and LOVE He-Man.

Ok guys I have a question, when you preorder the CG do they Pre authorize for the amount or is it just to make sure the card works? Any help would be great
When you place your order, the card you used will be "pre-authorized" for a zero dollar amount. This pre-authorization simply verifies that the card is valid. You will NOT be charged until the item ships, at which time you'll be billed for the product, shipping costs, and any taxes/fees.

Chairman Christopher Cox
Securities and Exchange Commission
100 F Street, NE
Washington, DC 20549-1090
Dear Chairman Cox:
Shareholder rights must be continued, if not expanded!!
I'm writing to request that you protect the right of investors to file shareholder resolutions and urge you to take no action on the proposed initiatives that would curtail or eliminate this essential right.
Shareholder resolutions are an invaluable tool for investors who want to make their voices heard with regard to the direction of their companies. Shareholder resolutions have helped to promote transparency and improve corporate governance and performance. They have called attention to critical issues, including global warming, nuclear power, sweatshops, executive compensation, natural resource extraction, and other major societal and environmental problems that, when not addressed, often end up costing shareholders and their companies as a result of lawsuits, damaged reputations, consumer boycotts, public protests, and low staff morale.
The many corporate scandals of recent years highlight how important it is to have more, not less, corporate transparency and accountability. Shareholder resolutions have proven effective in holding companies accountable to their owners. I ask that the commission safeguard, not undermine, their use.
Thank you for your attention to my comments.
James Mittl

Hingham ballerina Angela Bishop is one of 26 young dancers chosen to study her craft with the legendary Suzanne Farrell.
Hingham ballerina Angela Bishop is getting world-class training at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
Bishop, 16, is one of 26 young dancers chosen to study her craft with the legendary Suzanne Farrell in the three-week "Exploring Ballet" program that runs through Aug. 16.
Farrell was the leading ballerina in 23 ballets created for her during her 28-year career in choreographer George Balanchine's New York City Ballet.
The students take two classes daily, six days a week, taught by Farrell herself. They also participate in cultural activities, including visits to museums, historical landmarks and other special events. A student demonstration for parents and invited guests will take place at the end of the program.
The dancers, ages 14-18, were selected from auditions last winter.
Bishop is a veteran of the Boston Ballet's production of "The Nutcracker."

Conner Vernon matched the Atlantic Coast Conference record for career receptions at 232 as the Blue Devils defeated Wake Forest, 34-27, in front of a crowd of 28,743 spectators on a rainy Saturday afternoon at BB&T Field.WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Duke wide receiver
Duke improves to 4-1 overall and 1-0 in the ACC while Wake Forest falls to 3-2 overall and 1-2 in the ACC. Duke's 4-1 start is the program's best since 1994 when the Blue Devils started the season 5-0.
Duke entered the fourth quarter tied 20-20, but took the lead on a four-yard touchdown by quarterback Anthony Boone. Freshman running back Jela Duncan added a 17-yard touchdown run with 2:50 remaining to seal the victory.
The Blue Devils rushed for 123 yards and scored four times on the ground with quarterbacks Boone and Brandon Connette combining for three rushing scores. Duncan ran for 56 yards on 11 carries, including 30 yards in the fourth quarter.
Wide receiver Desmond Scott set career highs with 11 receptions for 134 yards and converted a pair of long third downs with catches of 35 yards and 23 yards. Vernon finished with five receptions for 62 yards to tie the all-time ACC record. Vernon also moved into fourth place on the ACC's all-time receiving yards list, moving past NC State's Jerricho Cotchery with 3,317 career receiving yards.
Duke forced four turnovers, including twice in the fourth quarter. With the score tied at 20-20, defensive end Jordan DeWalt-Ondijo knocked the ball loose from Wake Forest quarterback Tanner Price deep in Wake Forest territory to set up Boone's go-ahead 4-yard touchdown run. Duke linebacker CJ France also made a diving interception with 5:59 remaining in the game and Duke leading 27-20.
Duke and Wake Forest traded scores on three consecutive drives in the first quarter as Duke took a 10-7 lead. Ross Martin put Duke on the board with a 35-yard field goal on Duke's first drive of the game, but Wake Forest responded with an 11-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a four-yard touchdown run by Deandre Martin. The Blue Devils then got a two-yard rushing score by Connette on a drive that included Scott's 35-yard reception on 3rd-and-27.
Kyler Brown forced a Wake Forest fumble early in the second quarter, and Martin converted the turnover into a 22-yard field goal that put Duke ahead 13-7 with 10:20 remaining in the first half. Wake Forest kicker Jimmy Newman kicked a 45-yard field goal on the Deacs' next drive to cut the lead back to three points at 13-10.
Wake Forest attempted a long pass on the final play of the first half, but Duke redshirt senior Jordon Byas caught his first career interception to end the drive and send Duke into the locker room with a 13-10 lead.
Duke went to the running game early in the second half, rushing eight times during a 12-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that ended with Connette's second touchdown of the day, a four-yard run that put Duke on top 20-10. Quarterback Sean Renfree and Scott hooked up again to convert another long third down on the drive, connecting for a 22-yard reception on 3rd-and-19 to move into Wake Forest territory.
Wake Forest tied the game with scores on back-to-back possessions in the third quarter. Duke punter Will Monday pinned the Deacs on third own 2-yard line in the third quarter, but Wake forest drove the length of the field and scored on a 24-yard pass from Price to Tommy Bohanon to cut Duke's lead to 20-17. On Duke's next drive, Wake Forest lineman Zach Thompson intercepted a tipped pass at the line of scrimmage, and the Deacons converted the turnover into a game-tying field goal.
The Blue Devils returned the favor when DeWalt-Ondijo stripped Price of a fumble in Wake Forest territory that Jonathan Woodruff recovered at the Wake Forest 8-yard line. Boone, who entered the game after Renfree left with an upper body injury in the third quarter, ran in the go-ahead touchdown from two yards out.
After the two teams traded punts on the following possessions, Duke safety Walt Canty tipped a Price pass into the hands of France, who collected the first interception of his career to give the ball back to the Blue Devils on the Wake Forest 37-yard line with 5:59 minutes remaining. Duke drove the length of the field with Duncan capping the drive with a 17-yard touchdown run that was the first touchdown of his career.
With Duke leading 34-20 at the 2:50 mark, Wake Forest cut the lead to one score when Price hit Bohanon for his second touchdown of the day. The Demon Deacons then attempted an onside kick, but Vernon recovered the ball to give Duke the victory.

Luther lost a hard fought 28-21 decision to Simpson this afternoon in Carlson Stadium. A Norse fumble on a kick-off return, plus poor field position the entire fourth quarter proved to be the difference in this game.
Luther held a 14-7 lead at halftime thanks to touchdown runs of 89 yards by Alex Hain and a 15-yard rumble by Josh Vos. Hain's score was the longest scoring play for Luther since 2006, when Zach Sweers connected with Alex Torrisi for a 91-yard touchdown pass against Martin Luther College.
Simpson evened the score at 14-14 at 7:19 of the third quarter, when Taylor Nelson connected with Jake McCulley on a seven-yard pass. Nelson finished the afternoon with 242 yards and four touchdowns.
On the ensuing kick-off, Luther fumbled on its own 22, setting up Simpson's first lead of the afternoon. The Storm took advantage of the miscue and scored five plays later and led 21-14.
Luther answered with an eight-play 85-yard touchdown drive, capped off with a 12-yard run by Vos with 1:18 left in the third frame.
The entire fourth quarter was played inside the 48-yard line on Luther's side of the ball. Three times Storm punter Logan Klein pinned the Norse inside the 10-yard line. All three times the Norse were forced to punt, giving the Storm possession on the 47, 42 and 43 respectively. Simpson scored the game winner on a 23-yard strike from Nelson to Brad Vogel, who caught three touchdown passes, on fourth and 10 with 1:45 left on the clock.
The Norse racked up 431 yards of total offense that included 317 on the ground. Vos rushed for a career high 162 yards. Vos completed the year with 888 yards and 12 touchdowns. Hain also rushed for over 100-yards finishing with 104. Dylan Smallwood was the third leading rusher with 41 yards and also passed for a career high 114. Smallwood was 6 of 11, with three of those receptions connecting with Matt Jaronik who finished the afternoon with 101 yards.
Defensively, Dan Wheelock and Matt Larson were credited with nine tackles each. Colin White was credited with seven and both Rich Vickers and Keaton Palo had six. Palo also had one sack, while Wheelock and Alex Peterson were both credited with a half a sack.
This afternoon was the final game of the 2013 season for both clubs. Luther finished 1-6 in the IIAC, 2-8 overall. Simpson ends its season 5-2 in the IIAC, 7-3 overall.
