Mare Island paintball has been out of business for a few years now.
Mare Island paintball has been out of business for a few years now.
You're not serious? You know who this is. The pictures you have posted came from my stash.
You want to get a reunion going, try to get the old AGD crew together - John Dale (former president of AGD) and people like Howdy Bolt (Jim McGuffog), Sparky, Wayne, etc.
Someone back a few pages asked about Jessica Sparks. She is still around. In fact I think she is still involved with APG Magazine's parent company. As a lawyer, she fought a lot of battles and testified as an expert witness for paintball in courts across the country. She can play, too!!!
Oh yeah, I missed one in the photo with the tights. The guy named Jim that someone was trying to remember the last name of is Jim Anderson. To save people going back and forth here are those folks in the picture: Dan Colby (Air America), Jim Anderson (NPPL), Todd Nessle (Vents Goggles), Rene Boucher (Paintball News), Tom Kaye (AGD back), Tim Schloss (Tiger Stripe) and Bill Gardner (Smart Parts).
And I did know Mare Island went out of the business, some time ago. By the way, Fred did a show "Real World" (I think) for MTV at Mare Island about 5 or 6 years ago, too.
I remember scrimaging with CP out at Mare island and at Bob's. Fred always had a smile on his face and always looked like he was truly having fun. He was, and probably still is, one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Always had something complimentary to say about your game. I played this weekend with Rick Wilcox (Dogs of War- Sacramento) and he had an old CP patch (red, blue, skull, lightning bolts) attached to the side of his gogs. Brought back memories...good ones. Fred would be good for the game again, especially with all of the youngsters coming up that need a good role model in the sport.
I know but I dont think any one else does. We are the last of the old School guys, a dying breedYou're not serious? You know who this is
I have a Air Arm Fred Shultz tank... its way lighter than the new ones... works great.
I worked at MGM and now repair their landscaping equipment and never knew they netted it off and played paintball on New York Ave.That's cool! I have went through that area many a time.I still see that cab everyday and it looks a whole lot worse than that now.That area is changing a lot as they now have a huge stadium there that is for the new stunt show going in.They are also adding the San Fran. skyline and one other but I am not sure at the moment what it is.I wish they would do that again.That would be awesome playing in the stunt show city area.As for fred,I remember him.Never met him but read a lot of good things about him.He was a positive Icon on the sport.Can I get in on another game if you ever have one in the "streets? Please Tom..............

Richie's feedback
Fred was the ORIGINAL and BEST Ambassador Paintball ever had. (Evidenced by the game at Disney's Main Street... Wasn't that 92-93?) I met Fred prior to the Dallas Open in 93. He was there for the tourny, and the team I was on, Texas Storm, invited him to dinner. He is a great guy, exceptionally friendly, and easy to converse with. His hair was longer than mine at the time and he kept it in a braided ponytail that went far down his back. ( And this was YEARS before Lasoya!)
The Tuxedo's were part of the MUFF's party wardrobe, and I have quite afew pictures of AGD, Fred, Bud Orr and Ross Alexander, all in the Tuxedos. But no one cut the form that Mr. Schultz did in those Tuxedos.
Someone mentioned, Fred's apparent uncoordinated playing style... Well he Captained Constant Pursuit to quite a Professional record back during the 15 man days, then continued on into 10 man, before turning to a more overall spokesman for the entire sport. So I think that would excuse an apparent lack, to some people, of coordination. Fred was just more interested in promoting Paintball, than stylin on the field.
Speaking of falling off the earth Tom, Has anyone heard from Ross Alexander? I haven't spoken to him since the midnight raid of Line SI.

I wish we could get Fred to come out to something like Shatnerball or the IAO for him to see that there are a lot of people out there that grew up reading about his exploits and that really respect all that he did for paintball. I'd personally love to shake his hand and buy him a beer. My first few years in paintball were spent with the days in between playing reading cover to cover magazines with articles by and about the man (and CP) and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I'm an old school guy, and I don't know who he is. Help an old guy out. The memory isn't what it use to be...Originally Posted by Beemer

So where is Fred. Called and left a very nice message on his daughters machine. Sent a e-mail and nothing.
I should know you to Hitech I just cant place it. I call it the beer effect. Now tell me you dont remember the SOBs. Didnt CP kick our butt?
Yes, SOBs sound familiar, but I am TERRIBLE with names. That is what my paintball partner was for. I played with CP in the late 80's and early 90's. I am best remembered as the crazy guy with the red shoes buddy.
Here's a few pics of Fred from the 1994 Las Vegas NPPL.
We need to find him and see what's happening.

I have that video and watch it to this day. Brings back memories of fun times. I still loan it out to people who have never played paintball and want to try it out. A big thanks goes out to Fred from me for instilling the passion that I have for the game in me, even though I never met him.

I played with Fred Schultz on Constant Pursuit. That was back when I lived in Vallejo. Great guy Fred was. Are there any other Constant Pursuit players around here?
Yup. I played on CP from about 88 to 91, or so. When where you around.Originally Posted by Texas Outlaw
I was around at about the same time. I was picked up when Fred started the second team, just before the Bay City Open. My name is Scott. I hung out with Kiko (Keith) and Mitch and Dunn. Don't know if you remember them.Originally Posted by hitech
i used to play with kikko, billy payne, dan ringer and shawn. we used to scrim against cp, the ironmen and tour de force
The PB Sams games were always a lot of fun when Fred was there, even if he did shoot me a time or two....
However, Fred wasn't the only one seen in the camo Tux.
Hollywood made an appearance at the Holy Grail Viper game two weeks ago.
Is that a ditch behind me?
I'm old... I'm slow...
And I can't see very well...
Is this gun I borrowed any good?
{heh heh heh}
Last time I saw him, more than a few years ago, he said he was retiring. I assumed he was heading down to Florida, where in his words...
"Old people don't live in Florida, their parents do."
Hi Shives:
Yep, Hollywood's retired. He just does what he wants to now. I think he came over with Wayne Dollack for this game.
The "gate keeper" {Wayne} enjoyed asking players " How long was the first 24 hour game?"
I miss the old days.
There should be an event for Old schoolers vs. new.
What should the cut off be for years of experience?
For the really old guys like Tom, Fred, Glen, and Bud we could get them electric golf carts or those scooters I see on TV.
I only met Fred once. Totally blew my socks off with how nice he was, I was having trouble getting geared up between games at a tourney. I felt someone start straightening out my pack (it was all twisted) , I turned around & it was Fred!!!! I stood there pretty much in shock, at that point he was all over paintball. The real Ambassador of Paintball. He was all over the place. We spoke for a couple minutes. Seemed like a very sincere person. We had just been sponsored by AGD a few months prior. We were proudly flying the AGD banner in our area along with General Joe's & Scott's. Jessica is rumored to be playing in the stock class event at D-day. There are many of the old teams that I wish were still in the mix. The peps from dogs of war etc.
Talking about "old school" and "old guys"..........
For years, I've advocated the use of "golf carts". Golfers have caddies, why can't paintballers have "ball boys".
You know... someone to drive the cart, keep the pods filled, have the various guns gassed up and ready to go, be prepared to repair any gun that went down during a game, and keep the gatoraid cold. He could stay a respectfull distance away from you while you're playing and be ready to change out guns, give you more paint, or just tote you back to the staging area when you get hit. At the staging area, he could clean your goggles and gun, get you fresh jerseys or camos {depending on your preferences}, get your hot dogs and root beer, and keep you informed about when the next game/insertion is happening.
That would be worth a $20 tip, wouldn't it?

As for me, you'd probably remember by "swim buddy" better. He was the lunitic who wore the red cleats. Crazy John. I was the guy who's job it was to keep him in the game.
That's what girl friends are for. Even better is when it's someone else's girl friend.Originally Posted by Mike Smith

I've had this discussion with Tyger, Kennedy, and Shives so I think that was around when you first came up to Sam's. We were making fun of Shives collection so he would explain that each marker had it's place depending on the situation and style of play needed. Sort of like a paintball golf caddy. The older markers had a lot of variation in accuracy and ROF. The Armson barrel came in handy when you needed a trick shot and so on.
Forest Gump of paintball
Are you sure about that? I remember in 97 or 98 {back when I was still smoking} thinking about golf carts to get me to the white base at PB Sams. That was a long walk for a 240# smoker....I've had this discussion with Tyger, Kennedy, and Shives so I think that was around when you first came up to Sam's.
I do remember the idea came from my Sams experiences, so it is possible that y'all talked about it and I refined it...
I have yet to come up with a better term for ball caddies or ball boys, but I haven't put much thought into it. I can still get around OK for the next 10 years, so I have some time....

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.- The 15th-ranked and third-seeded Duke women's soccer team registered three first half goals on its way to cruising past the 24th-ranked Miami University of Ohio, 4-1, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday evening at Klockner Stadium in Charlottesville, Va.
The Blue Devils advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the third straight year and the eighth time in school history.
"The last couple of games, we have really started off well to give us a nice little cushion," said Duke head coach Robbie Church. "I was very, very proud of the starters and the job the girls did tonight. It was a nice win for us. We are really looking forward to playing on Sunday."
Duke jumped out from the beginning on the attack as redshirt junior Kim DeCesare tallied two great chances over the first six minutes. A product of Massapequa Park, N.Y., DeCesare had a one-v-one opportunity with Miami (Ohio) goalkeeper Allison Norenberg in the third minute, but the Duke forward wasn't able to flick the ball over Norenberg. A few minutes later, DeCesare had another chance but her attempt was saved off the line by a RedHawk defender.
"We came out very strong and that really helped," commented DeCesare. "Miami is a very good team and with us coming out strong at the beginning we really shocked them. We got on top early and scored when we were playing well."
DeCesare would not be stopped as the All-ACC second team selection then registered two goals in less than a three minute span to put the Blue Devils ahead 2-0. At the 9:52 mark, senior midfielder Nicole Lipp sent a free kick from 35 yards out into the box where DeCesare headed in her fifth header goal of the year.
"We came out really strong in the first half and were able to put away a couple of really good goals early," said Lipp. "We were all just really excited and enthusiastic for the game to start and I think it showed [on the field]."
Lipp, who is out of Lake Forest, Ill., added her fifth career assist in NCAA Tournament action which tied the Duke career NCAA mark along with junior Mollie Pathman.
"It was obviously the key to the game," commented Church about DeCesare's two early goals. "Anytime you can go up, especially to get the second one - the first one is going to put them on their heels and the second one is going to knock them back a little bit. Kim shows how she can score goals - she scores goals with her head, she scores goals with her feet. It was great to see her get those goals."
DeCesare added her second goal in the 13th minute as Laura Weinberg fed freshman Cassie Pecht, who found a streaking DeCesare in the box and she hit the top right corner. The two-goal performance marks the fourth multi-goal game of the season, which tied a Blue Devil school record.
Duke kept attacking the Miami (Ohio) defense and added a third goal at the 26:54 mark as Weinberg crossed the ball to junior midfielder Gilda Doria, who took one touch and buried her sixth goal of the season from 15 yards out with her left foot. A product of West Palm Beach, Fla., Doria snapped a 13-match scoreless streak after scoring five goals in her first seven matches.
Weinberg added two goals in the first half as Duke outshot the RedHawks, 10-1. DeCesare led the Blue Devils with four first half shots, while Weinberg added two. Of the Blue Devils' first eight shots, all eight were on goal.
"I thought the first half we played great against a quality opponent," said Church.
Miami came out in the second half and featured its best scoring chance of the match in the first three minutes, but Kayla Zakrzewski's attempt went just wide of the right post.
The Blue Devils came right back and tacked on their fourth goal of the match as Doria fed Weinberg at the top right of the box. Weinberg, who is from Boca Raton, Fla., drove in the box and fired a rocket into top left of the net for her 16th goal of the season. With the goal, Weinberg moved her season point total to 42, which is a new Duke record. She passed Kelly Walbert and Casey McCluskey, who had 40 points in 1994 and 2004, respectively. Weinberg also snapped a five-match scoreless streak.
With 29:44 left in the match, Miami (Ohio) was able to add in a goal as Zakrzewski sent a long cross in from the left side of the field and Haley Walter one-timed a shot into the left corner past Duke goalkeeper Tara Campbell.
Duke concluded the match with a 14-5 shot advantage, led by Weinberg and DeCesare with four attempts each. The Blue Devils now own a NCAA-best 10 goals scored in the first two rounds of the 2012 NCAA Tournament.
Campbell, who is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, concluded the match with zero saves in 90 minutes of action. Norenberg added six saves in the net for Miami (Ohio).
Duke will next play the winner of the Virginia/Rutgers match on Sunday, Nov. 18 at 4:00 p.m., in Charlottesville, Va.
- With her goal on the night, Laura Weinberg now owns 34 for her career, which ranks tied for fourth all-time on the Duke charts. Her 16 goals ranks tied for second on Duke's single-season list.
- Freshman Cassie Pecht added her team-best 14th assist on the night.
- Gilda Doria netted her 20th career assist, which ranks tied for seventh on Duke's career chart.
- With her four points on the night, Kim DeCesare ranks tied for fifth on Duke's single-season point's chart with 34. Her 14 goals ranks tied for sixth on the single-season list as well.
- Kim DeCesare added her fourth game-winning goal on the night.
- Duke's 62 goals on the season ranks third on the Blue Devil single-season list. Its 196 points on the year is only seven points shy of a school record.
- Duke's 71 assists on the year is only two away from the Duke single-season mark.
• The Blue Devils improved to 13-0 this season when scoring three or more goals.

This year, we got a chance to speak to some of the contractors that participated in local programs to achieve these record-breaking numbers. Not only did these home performance leaders give us details on what makes their business run, but also what keeps them successful day after day. The following is our first Century Club spotlight interview with Chad Ruhoff, the manager of the home performance division of Neil Kelly Company located in Portland, Oregon.

Q&A With Chad Ruhoff:
Home Energy: What have been the critical success factors for your company?
Chad Ruhoff: First, it's been the partnerships with CEWO and Community Power Works for making home performance work affordable and keeping the funnel full. Secondly, the company's 65-year history, reputation, and recognition in Oregon are key to our success. Lastly, our ability to cross-market and offer all-in-one services, including energy, standard remodeling, and handyman repair services have helped us find success.
HE: What do you think is the one most important item for home performance professionals and/or companies to focus on in the next 2–3 years?
CR: The U.S. DOE says that at our current rate it would take 500 years to retrofit 25% of homes in the U.S., so building a workforce is the top priority. Educating the public about the benefits is another main goal. Lastly, we need to further establish Standard Work Specifications or best practices for the industry.

Long lines to vote in Arapahoe County that left some waiting as long as four hours drew concern from Democratic state leaders late Tuesday.
Gov. John Hickenlooper and Sen. Michael Bennet visited Centrepoint Plaza in Aurora and found voters standing, waiting to vote.
"I met one who waited three hours, and some said they waited 3½ and four hours," Hickenlooper said. "That's too long. People have jobs, and they've got to get back to work."
He said part of the problem seemed to stem from the fact that voters flocked to a few high-profile vote centers, ignoring other centers where there was little traffic. He said the Romney and Obama campaigns might have inadvertently caused the problem by directing voters to a select few vote centers.
"So many people came to a small number of vote centers that they were a little bit overwhelmed," Hickenlooper said. "Most people stayed in line, and most were in a good mood. It was inspiring. People were just joyful to exercise their right to vote."
Nancy Doty, Arapahoe's clerk and recorder, said she responded by sending elections workers to Centrepoint, armed with iPads, to try to divert those waiting in line to other polling places where long lines did not exist.
"Some voters took advantage of that, and some voters opted to stay in line and wait," Doty said.
She said four additional voting machines were added to Centrepoint during the day, and four additional elections judges were sent there to help the check-in process. By 9 p.m., the lines had been cleared, she said.
Colorado House Speaker Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, said that although long lines faced voters in Arapahoe County, he was not worried. Doty, a Republican, can handle it, he said.
There were scattered reports of long lines at other polling places in the state, but Arapahoe County appeared to have the longest wait times.
In addition to long lines, tempers flared in some places as voters waited to cast their ballots earlier Tuesday.
At Mission Viejo Library in Aurora, a man who identified himself as conservative was shoving his camera into the faces of those waiting in line for up to an hour and taking their photographs, said former Colorado Gov. Roy Romer.
Romer said he admonished the man to leave voters alone and to stop harassing them.
"People are struggling to have their right to vote, and we just can't have people intimidated," Romer said.
Earlier in the evening, county clerks reported that thousands of Colorado mail ballots had been rejected because of signature issues. Voters either didn't sign the ballot or election officials determined there was a discrepancy.
County clerks said the numbers were in line with what they were expecting, but, should there be a razor-thin race, verifying these ballots will become much more pertinent.
Those with rejected ballots will be notified and then have eight days to respond and verify their signatures. Those left without responses will be given to the district attorney for investigation of possible fraud, said Larimer County Clerk and Recorder Scott Doyle.
Staff writers Joe Vaccarelli, Joey Kirchmer, Clayton Woullard and Josie Klemaier contributed to this report.Christopher N. Osher: 303-954-1747, email@example.com or twitter.com/chrisosher

YREKA – A Yreka man is in custody after allegedly burglarizing Old Skool Ink, the Yreka tattoo shop.
Cody Dylon Setzer, 20, is charged with burglary, possession of stolen property, possession of a controlled substance and committing a felony while on bail.
Shortly before the Old Skool Ink burglary, the owner of the business reported a burglary at his residence, explained Yreka Police Department (YPD) Sgt. Mark Gilman. Then, on Feb. 3, the owner reported that his business had been burglarized.
Gilman noted that during the investigation at the business, there were no signs of forced entry, and the perpetrator's entrance route is unknown at this time.
"The business owner reported that several thousand dollars worth of business equipment and personal belongings were missing," said Gilman.
Among the items reported missing from both the business and residence were guitars, multiple firearms, computers, jewelry, a safe containing a number of keys, tattoo guns, tools and a flat screen television.
Gilman said the victim identified Setzer as a possible suspect based on his past dealings with him.
The following day, while YPD was completing its report and investigating the case, officers responded to an unrelated report of a disturbance at a Yreka apartment complex.
According to Gilman, when officers arrived, Setzer was at the apartment, and nearly all the items that were allegedly stolen from Old Skool Ink and the business owner's residence were recovered from the apartment.
Gilman noted that multiple firearms reported missing have not been recovered, and some other missing items are still outstanding.
Setzer is being held at the Siskiyou County Jail on $25,000 bail.

All the World's a Stage for Joe Wright's 'Anna Karenina'
There is something to be said about a Russian story that is made into a film by Hollywood three times (first as a silent movie in 1915, then in two acclaimed sound versions with Greta Garbo [1935] and Vivien Leigh [1948]) and by the BBC as a 10-part miniseries in the 1970s. Leo Tolstoy's enduring story about passion, betrayal and hypocrisy amongst the St. Petersburg aristocracy has long been cited as one of literature's most enduring classics. As recently as 2007, Time Magazine hailed it as "the greatest novel ever written."
In the novel, Anna, the wife of a high-ranking government official in St. Petersburg, meets Vronsky, a cavalry officer in a trip to Moscow and falls in love with him. The gossip around the affair shocks the aristocracy, embarrassing Anna's husband Karenin, leading him to demand an end to her liaison. Instead she leaves him and her son to live with Vronsky, only to be snubbed by a society that feels she has gone to far. Considering that the story is set in 1874, where social appearances ruled and anyone living outside the norm would be ostracized, a woman who dared to live her dreams is doomed to tragedy.
Inventive staging
That brings us to this 2012 adaptation, directed by Joe Wright ("Pride and Prejudice," "Atonement") with a script by Tom Stoppard ("Arcadia" on stage and "Shakespeare in Love" on the screen). That this film is lavish is understandable considering Wright's previous work and the story upper-class trimmings.
What sets this version apart is the director's choice of setting the entire story in a dilapidated theater. Entire sequences take place within and outside the proscenium, with Wright's ever-moving camera creating a unique cinematic dynamic. In reviewing the film in the New York Times' A.O. Scott acknowledges, "Mr Wright's 'Anna Karenina' is different. It is risky and ambitious enough to count as an act of artistic hubris, and confident enough to triumph on its own slightly - wonderfully - crazy terms."
For the casting options, Wright plays it safe by picking his frequent collaborator Keira Knightley to play Anna. Jude Law is delegated to playing the restrained yet dignified husband of the adulterer. Wright's bold choice is to cast Aaron Taylor-Johnson ("Kick-Ass," "Savages") in the role of the dashing Count Vronsky, but this version will be remembered for its deliciously inventive staging.
EDGE spoke to Joe Wright about what went behind bringing the cautionary tale of love to life.
Setting in a theater
EDGE: We have to talk about your decision to set the story in a theater. What is behind this decision?
Joe Wright: I guess it is a desire to create an aesthetic for the movie that is somehow modern and relevant. It speaks to the themes of the movie as well. This idea that everyone plays roles for each other in society. The idea is that Anna was playing a role that no longer suits her, that of being a mother and a wife. This kind of violent passion that she has contradicts the role that she is supposed to be playing.
EDGE: Has this decision allowed you to be more creative or has it given you constraints?
Joe Wright: I think both are true. I think limitations are very useful because they liberate you creatively. They make you think harder and find more creative solutions.
Forbidden love
EDGE: In 'Anna Karenina,' you seem to suggest that we are attracted to things we cannot get. In the movie, we come to realize that the characters were not able to benefit from their union which they fought hard for. How is this appealing to you?
Joe Wright: The film is about love in all of its many forms. It is about forbidden love. It is about love realized -- the way that love can teach us to be human.
EDGE: The film has a tragic ending. Have you ever thought of changing up the ending like some filmmakers do to surprise the audience?
Joe Wright: No, you can't do that. [laughs] I think if you are going to take on something like 'Anna Karenina,' you have to be faithful to the novel. I think that this film, despite its setting in the theater, its form, its subject and theme, it's incredibly faithful.
EDGE: Besides the story between Anna Karenina and the Russian officer Vronsky, there is also this love story between Levin and Kitty which is a stark contrast. How do you treat the two stories differently?
Joe Wright: The book is kind of two books in one. There is the fictitious story of Anna and the rather autobiographical portrait of Leo Tolstoy's character of Levin. They balance each other. Levin kind of gets it right. Anna gets it wrong.
EDGE: This is your third film with Keira Knightley. Has there been some kind of shorthand that you have with her in working on her character?
Joe Wright: There is certainly a trust, and also a trust that when we disagree, we can move through it. Like siblings, like you may argue with a sibling, but you are still their sibling, and so you are still going to work on it. So there is a very close bond and a deep trust with each other, and respect as well.
Casting Aaron Taylor-Johnson
EDGE: How did you cast Aaron Taylor-Johnson to play this seductive officer Vronsky?
Joe Wright: I knew that I wanted Vronsky to be very young. I like the idea that he is younger than Anna. That kind of boy soldier and very idealistic. He is a character that when things unravel, finds himself way out of his depth. Aaron is one of the best young actors in his generation. He also has that kind of physicality which I think is very important. There is something quite animalistic about his physicality.
EDGE: About Anna's character, she is essentially somebody who chooses to leave her husband and child to pursue her love, how do you make her character likable or relatable?
Joe Wright: I am not interested in making her entirely likable. I feel that she is culpable and she is somewhat of an anti-heroine, rather than a heroine. She does things that I find to be morally reprehensible, but also, I love her. Her refusal of hypocrisy, I find kind of extraordinary, as well as her strength. So I would be interested in highly ambivalent characters. I am not interested in the typical black-and-white, goodies and baddies, but rather the complexities of human nature.
"Anna Karenina" is currently in theaters.

benissimus wrote:I was hoping for some example from a native speaker. If it is a neo-Latin idiom then so be it, but I think only those who speak a language as their first language are generally the ones who can change the morphology or irregularities of a language (other than coining new words as needed). Otherwise, I would call it simply a foreign speaker erring. That's my two cents.
Well, tho' I share your sentiments in part, I'll recall how very few, in fact none of the ancient "Roman" authors whose writings survive to us today, were in fact native Romans except Julius Caesar. And some of the greatest Latin authors did not speak Latin as a first language, including Ovid and Vergil. And they sure coined a hell of a lot!
Scribo wrote:So I'll never be able to speak Latin fluently and write wonderfully?
benissimus wrote:I think you can be fluent too, but there is a difference between being fluent in a language and having learnt it from childhood. Some gifted people are able to achieve the same level of skill as native speakers, but realistically, the vast majority will always sound slightly off, whether in pronunciation or idiom or mannerism. This is especially the case with Latin since it is very difficult to immerse yourself in the spoken language as you might with a modern language. I'm sorry if that sounds discouraging, and I'm sure not everyone agrees with me, but I wouldn't consider accent a fault, but rather a charm and a mark of internationalism.

It's a day of sports mourning for me, as the Giants have cut Ahmad Bradshaw, one of my very favorite players, and as important as any player in each of the team's two recent championships. The offseason can be rough on NFL players too. Poop. :(
Anyway, we're battening down the hatches here in the BlueTower, as a nor'easter is coming, and could be quite nasty, depending on the track it takes. Time to check the hot cocoa supply.

Just to let you guys know, and everyone in the new york and new jersey area can vouch for this, I drive about 13-15 hours when I go there without any problems. I usually do this solo as well. Ask Thordic and Riotz. I saw them that night when I got into town. Same with Chris and some of his buddies when I arrived a second time :-)
Obviously, I am coming from Chicago.

What's worse than spring cleaning?
What's worse than spring cleaning?
Thinking about spring cleaning.
What's even worse than thinking about spring cleaning?
Reading about it.
Each year, beginning sometime around Super Bowl Sunday, out of the woodwork come the "Get ready for spring cleaning now!" articles.
You can't surf the Internet without running into one.
"Make your spring cleaning a snap in 44 easy steps!"
"It's spring cleaning time (or at least it will be six weeks from now)!"
(Exclamation points added to convey urgency, and are not intended to accurately portray the competency of copy editors).
In addition to housecleaning — which, based on what I can gather, everyone does only once every 12 months — there are expert guides to lawn and garden preparation.
"10 tips to get your lawn mower ready!"
"Plan your garden today!"
"Start failing to curtail dandelions again this year — immediately!"
A couple months of that, and I'm exhausted from thinking about all the work that awaits.
All this to-do about to-doing is bad for a person like me, who has a tendency to feel guilt about his lazy side as it is. Frequent reminders just turn into self-fulfilling situations.
"I'll never be motivated enough to follow all these guidelines," I'll think. "Might as well sell our rakes online at Sell-your-rakesonline.com."
I don't even have to read an entire article. One glance at a headline, and I start worrying about jobs I may not even attempt to accomplish.
Funny thing is, once I get rolling, I actually enjoy spring tasks. Washing window is OK. No, that was not intended to be plural.
Sometimes, I wish I had found a career niche in home-improvement journalism. If I had done it well enough for long enough, I might have made enough money to hire people to do tasks I hate, as a result of being good at telling people how to perform work that I do poorly.
But like anything else, the grass is greener on the other side of that non-working hedge-trimmer. Had I pursued the home-writer path, I'd be complaining about something else in this week's column. It would have begun this way:
What's worse than spring cleaning?
Writing about it.

The city of Jos sits on an invisible fault line between Nigeria's mostly Christian south and its largely Muslim north. Its population is almost 50-50 Muslim-Christian.
So it's not surprising that twin car bombs in a crowded downtown vegetable market on May 20 killed both Christians and Muslims. Most of the 133 victims were women, and 25 were children.
But that could have been only the beginning of the killing, as was the case in the past.
"The choice of Jos, to make this very huge bomb, was deliberate," says Ezekiel Gomos, head of the Jos Business School. "They anticipated that Muslims and Christians would start fighting. That was the intention."
For more than a decade this has been the unavoidable pattern in Jos. Acts of terror have sparked religious riots that have killed thousands.
"When the Muslims see, 'Oh, there are many Muslims killed,' they go after the Christians," Gomos says. "When the Christians see many Christians are killed, they go after the Muslims."
But last week, in the days after the biggest blast Jos had ever seen, that axiom did not hold.
The fragile peace was due in large part to a 37-year-old peace worker named Sadiq Musahong. He is the secretary of the Conflict Management and Mitigation Regional Council, a group run by a Nigerian NGO and funded by American taxpayers through USAID. He describes the council as a covert "information network" that attempts to stop sectarian conflict before it spreads.
Last week, the council got a major test.
Within hours of the marketplace explosions on May 20, Christian youth gangs blocked one of the main roads, where they then ambushed and lynched two Muslim men passing by. The men's bodies, dismembered with machetes, were left under a bridge.
The cycle of revenge killings in Jos had begun again and had the potential to escalate rapidly.
Musahong knew that as soon as Muslim gangs learned of the killings, they would go on their own rampage.
"The moment that you allow the town to know that two people were attacked because they belong to [a certain] religion, the whole town will go in flames again," he said.
Keeping The Killings Quiet
But the council responded swiftly and in an unorthodox way: Musahong got local police to remove the bodies — not to the hospital, or a mosque, or anywhere public — but to the basement of a remote police outpost.
An imam from a local mosque was brought in covertly to perform the traditional burial rites. The deaths were kept out of the newspapers. That first night, even the wives and children of the murdered men were not told, for fear they'd spread the news.
Musahong uses a term of war to describe the two lynched men: they were "collateral damage," he says, in the religious conflict he was trying to stop from spreading.
To do that, Musahong says, he had to keep the deaths as secret as possible in the first 24 hours after the bombing, when emotions ran highest and the potential for violence was at its peak.
In spite of his precautions, he could not entirely stop the news from getting out.
That night, the council learned through one of its network of youth informers that two Muslim youth gangs were mobilizing. They planned to set up a roadblock to kill Christians in revenge for the two Muslims killed that afternoon.
"Fortunately," Musahong says, "we got the information an hour and a half before the boys moved in." He and the council immediately communicated this to commanders at the Nigerian police.
Gangs Are Turned Back
By the time the mob arrived, he says, "they met well over 50 or 60 well-armed soldiers there. In the next one, two hours, they had no option but to go back to their homes and sleep."
By Wednesday afternoon, the critical 24-hour window had passed. Musahong could confidently report to authorities in Jos that the city was safe.
Safe, that is, until the cycle repeated itself.
On Saturday, a car bomb exploded in Jos near an open-air TV viewing of the Champions League soccer final, killing three Muslims, including the bomber, the BBC reported.
Hours later Muslim youth gangs marched out to kill Christians in revenge. Just as on Tuesday, the council's network of youth informers came through. Musahong got advance warning about the roadblock and communicated that to the Nigerian authorities. Police showed up and stopped the young men. After another sleepless night, the cycle of violence was averted.
But Musahong admits that Nigeria will never be truly safe from sectarian violence until it addresses a problem that peace workers can't solve.
"The level of unemployment is so high that the youths are there, in their thousands and their millions and nothing to do," Musahong says. "They're always ready to embark on such very nasty acts."
Only last week, they didn't have the chance.

MELISSA BLOCK, BYLINE: From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Melissa Block.
ROBERT SIEGEL, BYLINE: And I'm Robert Siegel. Nigeria has suffered several terrorist attacks this month. The most deadly attack was a bombing last week in the central city of Jos. More than 130 people were killed. What followed that attack surprised many people. The city did not descend into religious riots as it has so many times before. NPR's Gregory Warner reports, that's largely thanks to a council of peace workers and their steps in the critical 24 hours after the blast.
GREGORY WARNER, BYLINE: The city of Jos sits on the invisible line between Nigeria's mostly Christian south and its mostly Muslim north. The population of the city is almost 50-50, Muslim, Christian. And so it's not surprising that last week's bomb in a vegetable market in Jos killed both Christians and Muslims. What is surprising is what happened or what didn't happened afterward. Ezekiel Gomos is head of the Jos business school.
EZEKIEL GOMOS: I think the choice of Jos to make this very huge bomb was deliberate. They anticipated that people in the street would go and fight. Muslims and Christians would start fighting.
WARNER: Because that is the pattern in Jos. Thousands of people have died over the last few years in religious riots.
GOMOS: So when the Muslims see, oh, many Muslims are killed, they go after that Christians. And when the Christians see many Christains are killed, they go after the Muslims. So that was the intention.
WARNER: But to the surprise of Muslims and Christians and pretty much everybody I met in Jos, that didn't happen. The first few days after the blast were peaceful. Ezekiel Gomos tells me that peace is in large part thanks to one very sleepless guy.
GOMOS: You haven't slept for two days, right?
SADIQ MUSAHONG: Yeah.
GOMOS: He has not slept for two days. So he would tell you what kind of things - who he met and the kind of places he went to.
WARNER: Sadiq Musahong is 37 years old.
MUSAHONG: I'm a peace worker. I'm a youth worker and also a member of the Red Cross.
WARNER: And he's also head of the Conflict Management and Mitigation Regional Council run by a Nigerian NGO, but funded by American taxpayers through USAID. And the council, he says, is a covert information network in Jos to stop sectarian violence before it spreads. Within hours after the blast in the market, Christian youth gangs had ambushed and killed two innocent Muslim men walking home. The cycle of revenge killings in Jos had just begun.
MUSAHONG: Yeah, because the moment you allow the town to know that two people were attacked because they belong to X, Y, Z religion, the whole town will go in flames again.
WARNER: So to stop the city from going into flames, Sadiq had to prevent those men from becoming martyrs.
MUSAHONG: We quietly involved just the local police there, and then the bodies were quietly moved.
WARNER: Moved not to the hospital or anywhere public, but to the basement of a police outpost. A Muslim cleric was secretly brought in, in the evening, to prepare the bodies for traditional burial. In the first night, even the men's wives and children weren't told.
MUSAHONG: Their families just found out they are missing - because for us, we feel like the two deaths unfortunately is collateral damage. But I think the two lives been lost is a little bit better compared to the situation where the whole city will go on flames again.
WARNER: Sadiq said he just had to keep the death secret for 24 hours. That's when emotions are highest and the potential for violence is greatest. But even with all those precautions, he did not stop the news from getting out. And that night, the council learned that two Muslim gangs who heard about the killings were gathering in revenge to set up a roadblock to kill Christians.
MUSAHONG: Fortunately we got the information an hour and a half before the boys moved. And so when the boys arrived, they met well over 50 or 60 well-armed soldiers there. And in the next one, two hours they had no option but to go to their homes and sleep.
WARNER: By the following afternoon, the critical 24-hour window had passed.
MUSAHONG: By 4 pm, I said, now I can report that, yes, we are safe.
WARNER: Safe at least until the cycle repeated. Saturday night another car bomb killed two people in a Muslim area this time. In response, some Muslim youth gangs marched out to kill Christians. Sadiq found out in advance, he sent in the cops. After another sleepless night violence was averted. But Sadiq says his city will never be truly safe from religious violence until it addresses a problem that peace workers can't solve.
MUSAHONG: The level of unemployment is so high that the youths are there in their thousands and their millions and nothing to do. And they're always ready to embark on such very nasty acts.
WARNER: It's just that this week, he didn't give them the chance. Gregory Warner, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The Accord is the best looking, but the Camry is the best choice if you're looking for reliability! The Camry has the traditional engine/drivetrain config-no direct injection and no cvt tranny like the accord auto! Read forums, these two features are over sold and may just lead to very expensive repairs down the road! I'm guessing manufacturers will regret DI and CVTs! These two features have not delivered as promise in the mpg department either as promised! All the cars are good looking outside and competition is tightening, but this should be known to the buying public! The chevy and chrysler engine/drivetrain is still sub par too ( I rent them), but getting better! Thanks, picky Engineer

I'm chevy all the way, both the Honda and Chevy Malibu looks the best.
Malibu all the way!
Yes mam Honda is looking the best ...that thing is so sexy

This is a great picture.... If the fusion was in a different color, I'd give it the best grill award. Def goes to Honda tho! :)

WASHINGTON — The U.S. will hit the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling in mid-October, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said in a letter urging Congress to raise the limit "as soon as possible."
"Extraordinary measures are projected to be exhausted in the middle of October," Lew said in the letter on Monday to House Speaker John Boehner and other lawmakers.
"At that point, the United States will have reached the limit of its borrowing authority, and Treasury would be left to fund the government with only the cash we have on hand on any given day," he said. The cash balance at that time is forecast to be about $50 billion, "insufficient to cover net expenditures for an extended period of time," according to Lew.
The Treasury Department had earlier said it probably will be able to finance government operations by using special accounting measures until after Congress returns Sept. 9 from its recess. Lew said Aug. 22 a failure by Congress to raise the debt limit would "have disastrous effects for our nation" and could put at risk payments to Social Security recipients and veterans.
"Congress should act as soon as possible to protect America's good credit by extending normal borrowing authority well before any risk of default becomes imminent," Lew said in the letter.
Boehner said last month Republicans wouldn't increase the debt ceiling "without real cuts in spending" that would achieve a further reduction in the deficit. Lew has said the Obama administration won't negotiate on the debt limit.
The Bipartisan Policy Center, a nonprofit research group, has estimated that the U.S. will reach the point where it is unable to pay its bills sometime between mid-October and mid- November unless Congress increases the limit.
"Protecting the full faith and credit of the United States is the responsibility of Congress because only Congress can extend the nation's borrowing authority," Lew said in the letter. "Failure to meet that responsibility would cause irreparable harm to the American economy."
Lew also said it's not possible to estimate "with any precision" the exact date the Treasury will run out of cash if Congress doesn't extend the debt limit.
"With just nine legislative days currently scheduled in September, Republicans must return to Congress prepared to move beyond the kind of brinksmanship that undermined our economic recovery two years ago," Rep. Sander Levin, a Michigan Democrat and ranking member of the House Ways and Means Committee, said in a statement on Monday.
In August 2011, Congress agreed after months of haggling to increase the debt limit on the day the government's ability to borrow was to run out.
Standard & Poor's, which downgraded the U.S. one step to AA+ three days later, changed its outlook in June of this year to "stable" from "negative."
Though the 2011 downgrade by S&P, the world's largest credit rater, contributed to a global stock-market slump, U.S. government debt lost none of its attraction for investors. Yields on Treasury securities dropped to record lows rather than going higher after the downgrade. Yields on 10-year Treasury notes dropped 0.74 percentage point in the seven weeks following the downgrade to a then-record 1.67 percent.
The U.S. 10-year yield fell three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 2.79 percent at 4:18 p.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices.

i don't wanna read from him in every next 2nd Bio or more bad in all future Bio !
--- MOTUC need now General Darius --- Darius as MOTUC Topic

If people dont like the time/ space warp that is attached to Spector...
Its mentioned in the very first MOTU mini-comic about the Battle Ram's descrption. Something about it having spacewarp capabilities?
So, technically Scott is playing in the vintage sandbox and creating/merging the Eras into a more thought provoking concept...Time and space are classic sci fi fantasy plot points.
Yes, Spector looks like an 80's kids idea of cool, but the time agent idea is a pretty
clever and fun inclusion.

Its a long shot of comparing the two, but the larger space and time ideas were always there.
I understand that Spectors time traveling is a Mulligan/ do over for the MOTU franchise.
But looks aside, hes a welcome addition and can possibly help fuse all the canons into a cohesive story line.
Not my favourite figure by any stretch of the imagination though but I do like him more than most I guess and I do think he gets a lot of underserved stick.

**Somebody please make me a Staghorn**
I dont mind the figure, but I do not enjoy the amount of exposure that MS gets in the bios. So I agree, the MS needs to go into a quiet, secluded retirement.
I'm starting to like Spector. IMC, his character is becoming a cool mix of Kang and Deathstroke.
What is this thread about again?

His desire to be the centre of attention is disgusting...
I mercilessly hate this character!
I don't want to be here when Matty will give the subscribers this sticker sheet:
I know 3 angels: their names are Jedi_Kunle, Mikethedrummer and Miracle Max!
"What's the point? The only joke in this show it's my career"
I dont collect DC figures but i ran into a figure called "Nite Lik" at a store. I was thinking "no way, can scott actually have a figure named after him?" Well i got home and looked it up. Apparently it is true: http://www.comicvine.com/nite-lik/4005-81014/
How do i get my own figure???!!!
Nite-Lik was named by Geoff Jones,(or so I have been told...) designed & Sculpted by the 4HM [looks awesome!] and is only secondary/swappable parts with more prominent Red Lantern Skallox. He was a marketing ploy, a "figure first" like Golden Pharaoh.

'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:36-40).
If this is what needed to happen to get the comics created, I guess the ends justify the means. But if the comics were going to happen anyways, I just can't stand this.
Was admiring the MOTUC collection lining the shelves of the office this weekend and settled visually upon Spector at one point, ruminating on how much hate this figure constantly gets on the board. Personally I think he's great and an excellent addition to the mythos- guaranteed to stand the test of time- but obviously most fans mileage may vary. I've never been able to tell why so many hate this guy- other than to bust Scott TG's canastas- but I see him as rife with possibility for future incarnations. A time traveling character is a great idea which opens the door to so many variation possibilities it's not funny. Now Matty just needs to capitalize on this potential. Here me Matty?

Perl 6
Perl 6 Variable Tablet: Revision 101
Overview - Chapter: 0:History, 1:Design, 2:Basics, 3:Var, 4:Op, 5:IO, 6:{}, 7:Sub, 8:OOP, 9:Rx, 10:Meta
Allison Randal: The most basic building blocks of a programming language are its nouns, the chunks of data that get sucked in, pushed around, altered in various ways, and spat out to some new location.
Variable Types
Perl 6 (as Perl 5) knows 3 basic types of variables: Scalars (single values), Arrays (ordered and indexed lists of several values) and Hashes (2 column table, with ID and associated value pairs). They can be easily distinguished, because in front of their name is a special character called sigil (latin for sign). Its the $ (similar to S) for Scalars, @ (like an a) for Arrays and a % (kv pair icon) for a Hash. They are now invariant (not changing), which means for instance, an array vaiable starts always with an @, even if you just want a slice of the content.
The sigils mark also distinct namespaces, meaning: in one lexical scope you can have 3 different variables named $stuff, @stuff and %stuff. These sigils can also be used as an operator to enforce a context in which the following data will be seen.
The fourth namespace where you can store and retrieve something under specified names is the one of subroutines and alike, even if you don't might think of them as variables. It's sigil & has to be used only rarely.
Special namespaces of Perl 5 (often marked with special syntax) like tokens (__PACKAGE__), formats, file or dir handle and builtins are now regular (mostly scalar) variables or routines.
Because variables are (as anything in Perl 6) objects, they have methods. In fact, any operator, including these square or curly brackets you get specific array and hash values with, are just methods of a variable object with a fancy name.
The primary sigil can be followed by a secondary sigil, called twigil, which mostly indicate special scope of that variable.
This type is known as a storage room for one value, but it's more like a reference that can point to anything: to values of any data type, to code, to objects or to a compound of values like a pair, junction, array, hash or capture. The scalar context is now called item context hence the scalar instruction from Perl 5 was renamed to item.
$CHAPTER = 3; # first comment!
Unlike Perl 5, references are automatically dereferenced to a fitting context. So you could use these $arrayref and $hashref in same way as an array or hash, making $ the universal variable highlighter or prefix, pretty much like in PHP.
Scalar Methods
my $chapter = 3;
is an ordered and indexed list of scalar variables. If not specified otherwise, they can be changed, prolonged and shorten anytime and used as a list, stack, queue and much more. As in Haskell, lists are processed lazily, which means: the compiler looks only at the part he currently needs. This way Perl 6 can handle infinite lists or do computation on lists that are still building up. The lazy command enforces and the eager command prevents that behaviour on any expression.
The list context is forced with a @ operator or _list()_ command. That's not autoflattening like in Perl 5 (automatically convert a List of Lists into one List). If you still want that, say flat(). Or say lol() to explicitly prevent autoflattening.
@primes = (2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23); # an array gets filled like in Perl 5 @primes = 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23 ; # same thing, since unlike P5 round braces just do group @primes = <2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23>; # dito, <> is the new qw() $arrayref = 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23; # in scalar context you get automatically a reference $arrayref = item @primes; # same thing, more explicit $arrayref = 13,; # comma is the new array generator @primes = 2; # array with one element @primes = [2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23]; # array with one element (arrayref) @dev = {'dan' => 'parrot'}; # array with one element (hashref) @data = [1..5],[6..10],[11..15]; # Array of Arrays (AoA) @list = lol @data; # no change @list = flat @data; # returns 1..15
Array Slices
@primes # all values as list @primes.values # same thing @primes.keys # list of all indices "@primes[]" # insert all values in a string, uses [] as distinction from mail adresses $prime = @primes[0]; # get the first prime $prime = @primes[*-1]; # get the last one @some = @primes[2..5]; # get several $cell = @data[1][2]; # get 8, third value of second value (list) $cell = @data[1;2]; # same thing, shorten syntax @numbers = @data[1]; # get a copy of the second subarray (6..10) @copy = @data; # copy the whole AoA, no more reference passing, use binding instead
Array Methods
Some of the more important things you can do with lists. All the methods can also used like ops in "elems @rray;"
? @rray; # boolean context, Bool::True if array has any value in it, even if its a 0 + @rray; # numeric context, number of elements (like in Perl 5 scalar @a) @rray.elems; # does the same @rray.end; # number of the last element, equal to @rray.elems-1 ~ @rray; # string context, you get content of all cells, stringified and joined, same as "@primes[]" @rray.cat; # does the same @rray.join(''); # also same result, you can put another string as parameter that gets between all values @rray.unshift; # prepend one value to the array @rray.shift; # remove the first value and return it @rray.push; # add one value on the end @rray.pop; # remove one value from the end and return it @rray.splice($pos,$n)# remove on $pos $n values and replace them with values that follow that two parameter @rray.delete(@ind); # delete all cell with indecies of @ind @rray.exists(@ind); # Bool::True if all indecies of @ind have a value (can be 0 or '') @rray.pick([$n]); # return $n (default is 1) randomly selected values, without duplication @rray.roll([$n]); # return $n (default is 1) randomly selected values, duplication possible (like roll dice) @rray.reverse; # all elements in reversed order @rray.rotate($n); # returns a list where $n times first item is taken to last position if $n is positive, if negative the other way around @rray.sort($coderef);# returns a sorted list by a userdefined criteria, default is alphanumerical sorting @rray.min; # numerical smallest value of that array @rray.max; # numerical largest value of that array $a,$b= @rray.minmax; # both at once, like in .sort . min or .max a sorting algorith can be provided @rray.map($coderef); # high oder map function, runs $coderef with every value as $_ and returns the list or results @rray.classify($cr); # kind of map, but creates a hash, where keys are the results of $cr and values are from @rray @rray.grep({$_>1}); # high order grep, returns only these elements that pass a condition ($cr returns something positive) @rray.first($coder); # kind of grep, return just the first matching value @rray.zip; # join arrays by picking first element left successively from here and then there
There is even a whole class of metaoperators that work upon lists.
is in Perl 6 an unordered list of Pairs. A Pair is a single key => value association and appears in many places of the language syntax.
%dev = 'pugs'=>'audreyt', 'pct'=>'pm', "STD"=>'larry'; %dev = :rakudo('jnthn'), :testsuite('moritz'); # adverb (pair) syntax works as well %dev = ('audreyt', 'pugs', 'pm', 'pct', 'larry', "STD"); # lists get autoconverted in hash context %compiler = Parrot => {Rakudo => 'jnthn'}, SMOP => {Mildew => 'ruoso'}; # hash of hashes (HoH)
Hash Slices
$value = %dev{'key'}; # just give me the value related to that key, like in P5 $value = %dev<pm>; # <> autoquotes like qw() in P5 $value = %dev<<$name>>; # same thing, just with eval @values = %dev{'key1', 'key2'}; @values = %dev<key1 key2>; @values = %dev<<key1 key2 $key3>>; %compiler<Parrot><Rakudo>; # value in a HoH, returns 'jnthn' %compiler<SMOP>; # returns the Pair: Mildew => 'ruoso' %dev {'audrey'}; # error, spaces between varname and braces (postcircumfix operator) are no longer allowed %dev\ {'allison'}; # works, quote the space %dev .<dukeleto>; # error %dev\ .{'patrick'}; # works too, "long dot style", because its its an object in truth
Hash Methods
? %dev # bool context, true if hash has any pairs + %dev # numeric context, returns number of pairs(keys) ~ %dev # string context, nicely formatted 2 column table using \t and \n $table = %dev; # same as ~ %dev %dev.say; # stringified, but only $key and $value are separated by \t @pairs = %dev; # list of all containing pairs %dev.pairs # same thing in all context %dev.elems # same as + %dev or + %dev.pairs %dev.keys # returns the list with all keys %dev.values # list of all values %dev.kv # flat list with key1, value1, key 2 ... %dev.invert # reverse all key => value relations %dev.push (@pairs) # inserts a list of pairs, if a key is already present in %dev, both values gets added to an array
Internally subroutines, methods and alike are variables with the sigil & and stored in a fourth namespace. They are no more builtins with an own namespace, that can't be overwritten or augmented with your programming. Of course scalars can also point to routines.
&function = sub { ... }; # store subroutine in callable namespace function(); # call/run it $coderef = sub { ... }; # store it in a scalar $coderef($several, $parameter); # run that code
Data Types
In contrast to variable types (container types) every value has a type too. These are also organized internally as classes or roles and can be categorized into 3 piles: the undefined, immutable and the mutable types.
You can explicitly assign one of these types to you scalar, array or hash variable.
my Int $a;
are very new and their syntax is used nearly everywhere in the language, where you have associations between a name and a value.
$pair = 'jakub' => 'helena'; # "=>" is the pair constructor $pair = :jakub('helena'); # same in adverbial notation $pair = :jakub<helena>; # same using <>, the new qw() $pair.key # returns 'jakub' $pair.value # returns 'helena' $pair.isa(Pair) # Bool::True
also a new type, that can hold all or a part of the parameters a routine gets. Because Perl knows now positional as well as named parameters, it es some mixture of a list and array.
$cap = \(@a,$s,%h); # creating a capture, "\" was free since there are no references anymore | $cap # flatten into argument list (hash like context) || $cap # flatten into semicolon list (array like context)
One important difference between a compound structure of lists and hashes and a capture: while assignments with = the complete content of the named variables will be copied. But not so in the case of a capture. When I change $s in the last example, the content of $cap changes too, because when parameters to a routine are variables, they are also interpolated in the moment the routine is called, not when its defined.
Properties and Traits
my $var;
Assignment and Binding
As rightfully expected, assignments are done with the equal sign. But unlike Perl 5 you always get a copy of the right side data assigned to the left, no matter how nested the data structure was (lists of lists eg). You never get in Perl 6 a reference with =. As the only exception may be seen captures.
my @original = [1,2],[3,4];
Since Perl 6 doesn't know of any references, programmer have to use binding to get 2 variables that point to the same memory location.
$original = 5; $original := $mirror; # normal binding, done on runtime $original ::= $mirror; # same thing, but done during compile time $original = 3; say $mirror; # prints 3 $original =:= $mirror # true, because their bound together $original === $mirror # alsotrue, because content and type are equal
Special Variables
are listed their table. To understand their secondary sigil go to the twigil chapter of this tablet.

Local restauranteur Gus Koutoufaris and business partner Steve Meyers plan to re-open the 60-year-old Milford Diner, possibly as early as late March.
The Milford Diner is coming back.
Local restauranteur Gus Koutoufaris and business partner Steve Meyers announced Friday that they plan to re-open the vacant, 60-year-old Milford institution, possibly as early as late March.
"I think it's going to be great to have the diner open again," said Koutoufaris, a longtime Milford resident who previously owned the Colony Inn in Milford, the Country Skillet in Harrington and the Magnolia Family Restaurant. "I've been in this town for 40 years and I know what people here like, and that's good food – and plenty of it – at a reasonable price."
The Milford Diner has been closed since Oct. 7, following the murder of former owner Micheal Gklotsos, who also owned the Hollywood Diner in Dover.
The 59-year-old was strangled inside his home in what police have described as a home invasion robbery. Three Pennsylvania residents – a 20-year-old man, a 23-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl – are awaiting trial in that case.
Despite the five month hiatus, a half-dozen potential customers stopped by the diner Friday only to discover the cars in the parking lot were there for a press conference organized by the city's economic development office to announce the impending reopening.
"I think that just shows that the Milford Diner is a landmark and people are going to be very excited to find out it's opening back up," said Meyers, a Harrington resident who also owns the Monkey's Truck in Ocean City, Md.
The new owners said the menu will continue to offer diner fare, with an emphasis on daily specials including Italian and Greek options. The diner also will feature baked goods prepared on the premises.
However, Koutoufaris and Meyers said they do not plan to seek a liquor license held by the previous owners.
"The only liquor we'll be selling is root beer," said Koutoufaris, a Dover High School graduate who moved to this country from Greece in 1969.
Koutoufaris and Meyers said they anticipate hiring 40 to 45 full- and part-time employees, including seven to eight cooks, not including Koutoufaris, who will cook as well as manage the diner's day-to-day operations.
The diner initially will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., although Koutoufaris said he would like to add hours as business allows.
"I'd like to stay open as long as possible," he said. "I'm not sure we'll go to 24 hours but I'd like to add an hour here or there and stay open later on Friday and Saturday nights, maybe starting in the spring."
At the moment, however, Koutoufaris and Meyers said they're concentrating on fixing up the diner for its eventual grand re-opening.
Those renovations will include re-upholstered booths, additional seating, new flooring, a renovated kitchen and the addition of wireless internet access.
Slaughter Beach resident Frank Draper, one of four partners who owned the diner from the late 1970s until its sale to Gklotsos in 2011, said he's excited to see the longtime Milford eatery reopen.
"It's been a shame not to see it up and running," he said. "It's got a lot of history and I know we were able to make a good living out of it."
City Manager Richard Carmean said he believes having the diner open for business again will be a positive development for the entire town.
"Because of its location here at the entrance to town, it's really not a place you want to have sitting empty likes this," he said. "Gus is known here and the restaurants he's owned or managed have been known for their good food. I think that will help him bring business back, and I think we're all really excited to see this place look alive again."

Easy, but delicious recipe. The grandkids loved it and so did my own sweet tooth! I just had to reprint it from from the Center for Kosher Culinary Arts Pro Baking and Pastry Professional Program blog.
CKCA director Jesse Blonder recently took this gorgeous picture of the Pro Baking and Pastry class's lemon bar creations. Such a picture deserves applause, and everyone who has seen the photo is asking for the recipe. So here is the CKCA version of the incomparable lemon bar.
3 cups unsalted margarine
2 and 2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 pint pasteurized egg substitute
1 egg yolk
2 whole eggs
7 cups flour
Cream the margarine and powdered sugar. Combine all egg products, and slowly add to the creamed sugar mixture and incorporate. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour. Do not overmix.
Dust a pan with flour, cover with parchment paper, and pack the dough with your fingers into the pan evenly and refrigerate for at least one hour. Prick the surface with a fork and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden.
8 eggs
2 and 3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
11 fluid oz. lemon juice
5 fluid oz. almond milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Whip the sugar and eggs until smooth. Whisk in the pastry flour, then add the liquid ingredients and salt. Pour the filling into the baked dough, and bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes, until set. Cool, and then dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
It was easy to prepare and tasted great. We decided to make them again, for this Shabbos. Based on Tuesday's experience, I know we'll enjoy them

The Meadowlands Liberty Convention and Visitors Bureau recently launched a new web site www.mlcvb.com that offers tourists the ability to book hotel rooms and create travel packages among other functions. The site in December featured the NCAA basketball game between Duke and Temple and Disney on Ice at the IZOD Center paired with four local hotels. Visitors to the site will also have the opportunity to build packages for upcoming events such as WrestleMania and the 2014 Super Bowl.
"The Meadowlands region has been considered an alternative to New York City," said Judy Ross, Director at the Meadowlands Regional Chamber. The chamber promotes hotels, restaurants, shops, entertainment and other businesses in the area. Ross heads the destination marketing division.
"With these events coming up, it emphasizes the region as it owns destination," noted Ross.
Site visitors will find year-round attractions such as Medieval Times in Lyndhurst and the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City in addition to event-timed offerings.
The "Package Builder" allows all events, restaurants and hotels in the area to offer set packages or a la carte itineraries for travelers.

Ross noted that a large number of chamber members are in the hospitality and tourism sector and the web site is seen as an "opportunity for us to promote our region."
"We needed an area where we can be of service," said Ross. She said it was the chambers job to help put "heads in beds," in hotels and "cheeks in seats," in restaurants.
'Eugene' is your concierge
The MLCVB has had a web site since the organization was established in 2004. "Our web site continues to evolve," noted Ross.
The landing page of www.mlcvb.com has a dynamic, interactive image that continuously moves and shows different scenes from the Meadowlands. A white egret flies over the American Dream Amusement Park Ferris wheel to the Izod Center. If you click on American Dream, an incomplete retail and entertainment venue formerly known as Xanadu, a box pops open that says the project opens the fall of 2013 and provides detail on what the venue will feature as well as links to learn more or "get there by NJ Transit." Clicking on an image of two women kayaking on the Hackensack River gives a visitor information about the wetlands and mentions tours and boat rides. Other interactive scenes feature the MetLife Stadium, Hackensack Riverkeeper, Liberty Science Center, the Meadowlands Environment Center and the Meadowlands Racetrack.
A user prompt that allows visitors to ask a question of "Eugene," a concierge-like character, during business hours was undergoing beta testing, according to a Tech representative from Axiom Communications who works on the web site.
A number of other features and tools were also revised such as the group travel planner and new tools were added on the back-end for chamber members.
While the Reporter experienced a few bugs in booking a room and planning a group meeting, those issues appear to have been resolved by press time.
Getting ready for spring, eco tours
As far as what's on the horizon, Ross said, "we are preparing for seasonal items."
She noted that they are getting ready for the spring and that visitors will see eco-tourism packages as well as hotel stays offered alongside tickets to the Field Station: Dinosaur Park in Secaucus, for example. Individuals will also be able to book a Hackensack Riverkeeper eco-tourism cruise or a nature walk hosted by the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission.
