I see what you guys are saying, but these seem more like rulebook examples (like the fire catapult and siege tower examples), and doesn't really seem suitable for the app to me. I don't see why it's worth it to add "minifig with sword" or "minifig with pistol" to that list, unless it's a named unit for an actual army (in the armies section). I understand the ones with horns and other special abilities, because you might not think to add those stats, but when all you're doing is saying that it's a minifig with a weapon straight from the rulebook, it seems a little silly.
And I'm sorry, but if someone has trouble making stats for a minifig with basic equipment because no one has made a stat card for every single combination of equipment, then I'm not sure how you can defend that.
I've gone on a little too long about this, but it just seems like a needless clutter of stat cards. I'll drop it now.

Watch Halloween Movies Online: The Scariest Films on Netflix Instant
If you're looking for a good scary movie, you can watch movies online or stream them directly to your TV this Halloween. We know that cable channels are still showing 'Green Lantern' for the 1,000th time and we know you want to watch good scary movie -- not just any old generic horror movie. So if you're in the market for something that is going to really scare the crap out of you, we've put together a list of movies to watch: the scariest movies online that Netflix Instant has to offer.
We've including the trailer for each horror movie below and if you click the title of the film itself, it'll take you directly to the film's page on Netflix where you can begun watching movies online. Enjoy!

'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark'
Guillermo del Toro produced this remake of the made-for-TV movie about a family who moves into a house populated with creepy, shadowy little creatures with sinister motives. It's not entirely great, but the most effective parts are with the creatures themselves -- how they move, the noises they make, and the evil they perpetrate on the little girl and her parents. Aside from general creepiness, the film features Del Toro's signature eerie-yet-whimsical look and feel -- a bonus treat for horror fans.

From the guys that brought you the original 'Saw' film comes another tale of terror -- this time about a family who moves into a new home only to find it haunted by the darkest of evil spirits, determined to abduct their son. The film throws some real curveballs in the third act, and even manages to get a little fun, but there's no denying how jarring the imagery is, especially when paired with that startling score.
- 3
This isn't your typical horror film. 'Michael' is an Austrian thriller about a pedophile and the relationship he has with the 10 year old boy he keeps locked in his cellar. It's a totally captivating, breathtaking film that will leave you on the edge of your seat. 'Michael' is terrifying in a different kind of way, and gets under your skin in ways ghosts and buckets of blood never can.
- 4
Although the Spanish thriller 'Kidnapped' isn't available with subtitles, it's definitely worth a watch even if you have to endure some silly English dubbing. The home-invasion flick follows robbers who keep a family hostage and is filled with plenty of big shocks and genuinely upsetting moments. A Fantastic Fest favorite, 'Kidnapped' is a well-crafted, mean, and suitably intense little movie.
- 5
'The Last Exorcism'
If you're looking for some found footage scares, 'The Last Exorcism' is definitely one of the more inventive entries in the genre. A huckster reverend who lost his faith long ago is called to exorcise a teen girl who's been possessed by a demon. What he confronts in her home puts what faith he has left to the ultimate test, and will certainly leave you surprised. While the end is a bit divisive, the film has some scary tricks up its sleeve and a twist you won't see coming.
- 6
'Paranormal Activity 2'
The only 'Paranormal Activity' film available on Instant is the sequel, which follows Katie's sister and her family as a demon stalks their home. Not quite as effective as the first film, this sequel still has plenty of interesting jump scares and spooky footage to keep you on your toes while also perpetuating the cool mythology that began with 'Paranormal Activity.'
- 7
Another atypical horror flick, Lars von Trier's 'Antichrist' is well-suited for those yearning for some intellectual terror. After her son dies in a terrible accident, a woman and her psychiatrist husband retreat to a cabin to help her overcome her grief. While she gradually becomes more and more unhinged, the woman is convinced that she -- and all women -- are evil. 'Antichrist' is a nerve-wracking psychological thriller with compelling themes on misogyny and grief -- and that's some pretty scary stuff.
- 8
'The House of the Devil'
Ti West's ode to slow-burn 80s horror flicks is a wicked little movie about a babysitter who's called to a remote house by a mysterious couple to look after someone she's not allowed to see. The first two acts are filled with slow-simmering tension that gives way to a remarkably bonkers third act that will leave your nerves rattled.
- 9
'The Innkeepers'
The second film on this list from Ti West is structurally similar to 'The House of the Devil' with two acts that develop tension very slowly before hitting you over the head with a hammer in the third act. But you'll have a little more fun with this one as it stars Pat Healy and Sara Paxton as two funny, lovable innkeepers and wannabe ghosthunters who might have regrettably found what they were looking for.
- 10
A group of people set off to investigate the mysterious disappearance of an entire town up a creepy mountain trail in New Hampshire almost 60 years prior, but as the expedition proceeds, the group slowly descends into madness. Not all of 'YellowBrickRoad' is particularly successful, but what works here is watching these people become more and more mentally unstable and the mystery of what's causing them to do so.
- 11
'Session 9'
When a contracting team heads into an old mental hospital for renovations, they discover something very sinister haunting the halls -- something that's driving them mad and trying to kill them. 'Session 9' is a bit of a slow-burn, but when the mystery starts to unfold in the second act before a horrifying, nail-biting final third, you'll be glad you did. Bonus: David Caruso gets one of the greatest lines in horror history, and he doesn't even need sunglasses.
- 12
'Lovely Molly'
This horror film comes courtesy of 'Blair Witch Project' director Eduardo Sanchez and tells the story of a recovering heroin addict and her new husband, who've decided to move back to her childhood home. But the trauma of her past isn't willing to let her go so easily in a mix of tangible and intangible terrors that functions as both a ghost story and a psychological horror flick. The marriage of the two is something quite special, and the imagery in the final act is absolutely haunting.
- 13
'Pet Sematary'
Have you ever wished you could bring someone back from the dead? We're not talking about the cutesy 'Frankenweenie' approach. 'Pet Sematary,' based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, tells the story of a family whose little boy is struck and killed by a truck, so the dad decides to unwisely bury him in the local pet cemetery, where things come back to life, but they come back very, very wrong. A creepy, dead little kid whose body is possessed by something otherworldly and evil? Yes -- definitely scary.
- 14
In 'Audition,' a man holds fake auditions to find his soulmate, but he doesn't anticipate what he finds instead -- a traumatized woman with some bone-chilling skeletons in her closet, who isn't too pleased when she discovers that she's been tricked into a relationship. There's some quality creepiness going on in this film from acclaimed Japanese director Takashi Miike, but there's also some really intense violence that might give even the most seasoned horror vet a hard time.
- 15
'Candyman' is an underrated 90s horror staple -- while you guys were busy with Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees, a much scarier foe was born. A grad student is researching the myth of a boogeyman with a hook for a hand when she accidentally summons him into her life. Tony Todd is chilling as the titular spook, but the film develops some surprisingly poignant mythology about his character, lending the film a little more depth than your typical slasher flick. But what's really going to stick with you is the sound of Candyman's soft but sinister voice.

Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Roast chicken and cheese stuffed Anaheim peppers combined with Salsa de Chile Rojo in a free form cornmeal tart; an idea that was inspired by a blackberry free form tart I have on onsite. Delicious and fun to make. Note: I have also made this with shredded beef. —lapadia
Serves: 6 easily and up to 8 if sliced smaller
3/4 cups all purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/3 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2-4 tablespoons milk
2 cups cubed roasted chicken
4-5 fresh roasted Anaheim peppers (or canned if not in season)
1 cup Queso Fresco
1/2 cup sharp cheddar - for topping, or other cheese of choice
3/4 cup chile sauce (recipe below)
- (1-A) Make the Smoky Salsa de Chile Rojo (recipe below). (1-B) Roast the peppers - set aside.
- (2-A) Cube the chicken and grate cheddar cheese - set aside until needed. (2-B) Cube some Queso Fresco and stuff the roasted peppers with it; add what is left over to the bottom of the crust - set aside until needed. (2-C) Combine the chicken and Chile Rojo in a bowl - set aside until needed.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a 10 inch pie or tart pan.
- MAKE THE CRUST: In a medium bowl stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter until it resembles the size of peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of milk over mixture; gently toss with a fork. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is moistened (dough will be crumbly). Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 7-8 times or just until it clings together. Form into a ball.
- Roll the dough into a 12 inch circle and place into a pie or tart pan.
- Place (if any) extra Queso Fresco onto the center of the dough. Mound the reserved chicken mixture over the top. Position the peppers (in a circle) over the top, place one in the middle if you any extra. Fold the border up over the sides, keeping it rustic looking.
- Brush the top and sides with 1 tablespoon of milk. Cover with the cheddar cheese.
- Bake about 40 minutes or until the crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Cover with foil the last 10-15 minutes of baking, crust is browning to fast…but I have never needed to do that.
- Cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Salsa de Chile Rojo
4 tablespoons chili powder
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch of ground clove

Untangling the Fred fiasco from Brazil vs. Croatia
This isn't an endorsement of what Fred did.
The Brazilian striker, like others before him — Thierry Henry, Torsten Frings and Diego Maradona — will forever be labeled a cheat, a dishonest player in the eyes of many around the world.
In Croatia, border-crossings will feature a headshot of the 30-year-old with a red "X" through his forehead.
But for a nation desperate for an eventual 3-1 World Cup win, he's a hero.
Now then, that doesn't mean everyone here in Salvador thinks it was legit.
A few construction workers outside my hotel responded with a smile and a shake of the head when I yelled, "Foi penalti?" out my window Friday morning.
As I walked to the stadium, the citizens of Salvador increasingly agreed with the call, likely because they were in the vicinity of the Arena Fonte Nova party zone ahead of Spain-Netherlands here Friday night.
Heck, Fred's own manager, Luiz Felipe Scolari, insisted it was a spot kick, one that changed the entire complexion of a match that looked destined for a draw.
"The ref saw a penalty," Scolari said after the match. "And we think it was a penalty as well."
It wasn't.
But Fred did what any good — yes, I just used a positive adjective to describe the cheat — does when he feels contact from behind in the box: He goes to ground.
He falls to the surface as if he's been mugged in a Brazilian favela.
When times are tough, good strikers look for different ways to change games, which is what he did after Neymar potted the eventual penalty-kick winner.
But that doesn't mean Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura didn't get it wrong. He did. He got it horribly wrong.
You can only imagine how he felt when he saw he'd been conned by a master of embellishment.
In saying that, Croatia's head coach Niko Kovac's allegations of favouritism towards the hosts were as cheap as Fred's flop.
Replay is a beautiful thing. It gives us all a bird's-eye view of every play, from every angle. It allows us to get almost every call right.
At field level, however, the game is different. It's faster. A referee's view is obscured by players.
In this case, Croatia's Luka Modric appeared to be slightly in the path between referee Nishimura and the players that became entangled — Fred and Croatian defender Dejan Lovren.
Based on that, one could argue that Nishimura shouldn't have pointed to the spot if he was partially blinded by traffic. But it's a split-second decision.
"Humans cannot see (the play) three or four times in less than one second," FIFA head of Refereeing Massimo Busacca said Friday.
The head of FIFA marketing at the tournament spoke to Kovac's comments: "We're talking about a second of a decision," Thierry Weil added. "We are here to make the tournament fair. The referee is doing what he can in the moment."
Moving on, and assuming he had a clear look at the alleged foul, Lovren did have his right arm wrapped around Fred's right arm for a split second while his left hand briefly grabbed Fred's left shoulder.
Again, not enough to pull Fred down, but plenty of contact to make it seem as though the Brazilian was impeded inside the area.
With his back to goal, Fred didn't have many options. So he took a chance, hurling himself backwards in an effort to game Nishimura.
And it worked.
But was it preventable? Maybe.
Looking back at replays from three different angles — isn't replay wonderful? — Nishimura had the worst look at the play. He was straight ahead of Fred, meaning he couldn't see exactly how much force Lovren, who undeniably made contact, used when he briefly placed both of his hands on the Brazilian striker.
His assistant, however, had a decent look from a perpendicular angle that likely would have allowed him to properly judge whether Lovren used enough force to pull Fred down.
Keeping in mind FIFA referees communicate via headset, the proper process should have been for Nishimura to consult his assistant — maybe he did — who might have told the Japanese official to play on.
Yes, the entire country of Brazil would have had even more to protest in that moment, but all of that would have subsided once it saw a replay of the decisive play.
Because, as I said, replay is a beautiful thing.

(Reuters) - The man suspected of a shooting rampage in California at the Tule River Indian Reservation in which three people were killed and three others wounded, including two young daughters of the suspect, has died, county officials said on Sunday.
Hector Celaya, 31, who lived on the central California reservation, fled the scene of the shooting with his daughters and was shot during a low-speed car chase as authorities attempted to take him into custody, the Tulare County Sheriff's Department said. They later declared him deceased.
The two girls, ages 5 and 8, also suffered gunshot wounds. One of the girls was being treated for life-threatening injuries, police said.
"During the preliminary investigation, detectives learned the suspect had shot the children," the sheriff's office said in a statement.
The incident began on Saturday night when the Tulare County Sheriff received a 911 call saying shots had been fired on the reservation, roughly 60 miles north of Bakersfield, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Officials discovered a man and a woman who had been fatally shot in a trailer, as well as a male youth who was wounded. Another man was found dead in a shed.
Detectives were able to locate Celaya, who was considered armed and dangerous, using data from his cellphone, the sheriff's office said.

Phoenicophorium borsigianum
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Phoenicophorium borsigianum (K.Koch) Stuntz
Common Name(s):
Areca sechellarum (H.Wendl.) Baill.
Astrocaryum borsigianum K.Koch
Astrocaryum sechellarum (H.Wendl.) Baill.
Phoenicophorium sechellarum H.Wendl.
Stevensonia borsigiana (K.Koch) L.H.Bailey
|Taxonomic Notes:
|The only species in its genus, representing a unique evolutionary lineage for the Seychelles.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Least Concern ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
Needs updating
|Ismail, S., Huber, M.J. & Mougal, J.
|Baker, W.J. & Lutz, M.L.
Phoenicophorium borsigianum is endemic to the Seychelles and occurs on the eight islands Mahé, Praslin Silhouette, La Digue, Frégate, Curieuse, Félicité and St. Anne. Although the total land area of the eight islands where the species occurs is only 235 km2, there is no criterion met or nearly met. The species can even establish in heavy degraded and invaded forest, dominated by alien invasive species. It is therefore listed as Least Concern. The leaves have been extensively used in the past for thatching of roofs. For tourist infrastructure this practice has a renaissance. While it is not thought that this is currently causing a decline in the population, future trends need to be monitored.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|Endemic to Seychelles, this species occurs on the eight islands: Mahé, Praslin Silhouette, La Digue, Frégate, Curieuse, Félicité and St. Anne (Robertson 1989, Matatiken and Dogley 2006). These islands have a total area of 235 km2 (National Statistics Bureau 2005). The extant of occurrence (EOO) is less than 5,000 km2 and the area of occupancy (AOO) is smaller than 500 km2.
The species is able to establish itself in different habitat types from deep forests to rocky outcrop areas. In a survey in 1994 it was found in 56 out of 73 areas of special conservation value (Carlström 1996). This indicates is wide distribution.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Seychelles (Seychelles (main island group))
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|In 1942, this species was said to be the most abundant of the endemic Seychelles palms (Bailey 1942). This is still thought to be the case (Carlström 1996). It is also used for rehabilitation of degraded areas. The leaves of this species are used for thatching (Carlström 1996), but it seems that this practice does not reduce the population size. The species is able to establish itself in different habitat types from deep forests to rocky outcrop areas. There is no continuing decline observable, as the species reproduces extremely well in most areas (Carlström 1996). In areas with closed canopy it is also able to compete with Cinnamomum verum (Fleischmann 1999).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Understory tree in forests at low and intermediate altitudes. Colonizes bare eroded ground where drought is severe and able to establish on rocky outcrops. Frequently associates with Lodoicea maldivica on Praslin and Curieuse.
|Use and Trade:
|The leaves have been extensively used in the past for thatching of roofs. For tourist infrastructure this practice has a renaissance. This development has to be observed. Harvesting is not legal but is also not controlled.
|Major Threat(s):
|The species seems to face no threat that cannot be balanced by its natural regeneration. The most severe threat is loss of habitat in lower areas due to construction activities. An additional threat is the use of the leaves for thatching of roofs. The extent of usage is not known but it does not seem to affect the population size.
|Conservation Actions:
|Present in Morne Seychellois Curieuse Marine National Park, St. Anne and Praslin National Parks. The species is protected by the Breadfruit and other Trees (protection) Act.

interesting that they were still an equal opportunities employer....
Type your comment here — plain text only, no HTML
One of Oz's "leading privately owned Transport companies" last Friday posted an ad on the country's "#1 job site" looking for an IT operative. However, some ne'er-do-well quickly jumped in and added a pretty specific range of talents: The Border Express job ad grabbed from Oz's seek job site Border Express told El Reg: "The …
Type your comment here — plain text only, no HTML
Also... They cannot seem to spell Developer - oo!?
But I guess that is the least of their worries with an advert like that!
Or part of the joke.
Rules me out.
I bet someone complained there was something offensive on the advert, so they removed SQL Server.
Coincidence tthat the job is located in NSW?
BTW Phil, you owe everyone in my office a new keyboard.
Nice advert.... not sure I meet the requirements though - my moobs may only be a B cup.
Urgh... mental floss needed...
Appears to be a compound formed from the word 'developer' and the pictogram 'oo' which I presume indicates breasts.
"Applicants must be prepared to undergo a pre-employment" ... what?!
On the second ad, Neisha Webster seems to have gotten the heave-ho as well. She obviously didn't measure up to the job...
Looks like a vacancy in HR could be opening up shortly (no bad thing in itself).
Paris - just because!!
I imagine they'll soon be advertising another vacancy, perhaps in the HR department.
do I read these things while I'm eating lunch?
Half chewed sandwiches all over your keyboard perchance?
I jokingly suggested to my boss that D cup or larger was a job requirement (for an interview I was not involved in) and he came back and said "result!". Pity she was more Jo Brand than Jo Whiley.
I've worked with a few tight t**ts in my time, but they all had smaller moobs.
... they are also offering the position of a job ad writer -- position available immediately, only available to persons without any sense of humour.
classy prank!
before PC and discrimination, we put an ad in the window for a "good looking 18 year old female" to work in the packing area, and had a number of applicants, one of whom filled the position admirably.
Wouldn't get away with it now.
And nor would the idiots in not-dissimilar industries knocking back female applicants like me because of "heavy lifting". Maybe I wasn't wearing a sufficiently low-cut top for those twunts. >:-[
Like so many HR depts, i have a feeling this one neglected to proof read stuff job descriptions and some "funny" developer sent them something that clearly needed editing but wasn't... if i was Ms Webster's boss i would be asking how she let that one go too!!
... but Albury !! (I guess all the Albury folks will get upset now)
is the HR person/thing slydexic or a true illiteratum ??
I'd love to have an advert for a developer that required slim, well-scrubbed, sober, good looking bloke, well-hung and well buff, with good social skills, if only for the eye-candy, but I would be faced with probably one Polish candidate. If that.
But of course every male developer I've known secretly thinks any girl is lucky to get him. Well, every male.
Thank you Ronnie Barker...
I was trying to work out whether "develooper" is jargon for object oriented programming developer. The company appears to be object oriented in a fairly unfortunate way.
...must buy more monitor screen wipes!
That's disgusting, to avoid any claims of gender discrimination they should have advertised for:-
DD Cup breasts, slim waist, tight twat
Well developed pecs, slim waist, huge c0ck
icon, nearest thing to a big tit, was going to us the paris icon but she fails on two counts.
Our HR were clearing out some old "review" forms. One, from over 25 years ago, had such questions as;
Please describe the reviewee's build;
skinny, medium, large, fat, very fat
Please describe the reviewee's overall attitude;
Pleasant, acceptable, unpleasant
It went on like that. HR were horrified to see such questions and prescribed answers. I thought they were surprisingly open, honest and useful - which explains HR's objections.
You're kidding, right? It's only a few years before that that job ads were still allowed to request a "pretty" or "blonde" secretary. There's a reason they can't do that any more.
Because the people who write the legislation are all mingers?
Shortage of applicants?
They were only using the accepted terminology of the time; nowadays the interviewer would be ask to rate their pleasantness against a celebrity scale,....
Does the candidate remind you off,...
(a) HRH Queen Elizabeth (b) Julia Bradbury or (c) Jade Goody?
If you look on the About Us section of the Border Express website, they boast of their Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Award 2008. I quote "outstanding EEO practice for the advancement of women in non-traditional roles".
Quite a lot of my bosses have /been/ a tight tw@, especially in the bar. Never heard of anyone advertising for one, though.
Border Express Pty Ltd wishes to advise that the job advertisement discussed here was hacked and modified, after it was originally posted to the seek website. This is the result of a security breach external to Border Express Pty Ltd.
This matter is currently being investigated by Seek and Australian police and in NO way is Border Express Pty Ltd responsible for posting the aforementioned article in that context.
Border Express Pty Ltd has requested that theregister.co.uk update the article to reflect this information.
The article has now been returned to its original correct form which is available here:
We would also mention that job articles posted to seek must be manually edited at the time of posting and therefore it is highly unlikely that this was "overlooked" by an internal staff member.
Thank you.
Did you get any applicants?
For inspiration see the NBN's requirements for a PA:
or just search seek for "bubbly"
It was bloody funny, get over it.
How many DD cup wasp-waisted twats that were otherwise qualified actually applied for the job expect that the additional qualifications would be worth a higher salary?
So.. you are saying that you discriminate against SQL Server developers with DD cups, slim waist and a tight twat?
What kind of work ethic are they after? I'd have just cut that last bit right out.
This reminds me of an article Toll (another Oz transport company) got in one of the papers a while back. It seems they are the soft hearted saviours of the community because they put former outcasts of society into good solid jobs. One of their receptionists was a former prostitute...
Paris because... just because.
This was obviously done by a non-Australian. Why? Because they got the slang wrong. 'Twat' doesn't mean the same thing in Australia. Instead, it is a general-purpose pejorative, like 'idiot' or 'dickhead'.
This was clearly done by a non-Australian. They used a semi-colon as punctuation.
I got all the required job attributes, and I even live in Albury (and ride past the Border Express office daily) But unfortunately I am a little lacking in the Breast department! Oh well!
*Paris, cos even she doesn't fit the job description!
A FORMER employee has confessed to hacking into an online advertisement for a Border Express job and changing it to make a "slim waist" and "DD cup breasts" the criteria.
The man, who did not wish to be named, handed himself in to police following an article in The Border Mail last Thursday.
The self-confessed hacker said he was a former member of the human resources department and "all too aware" of the importance the company places on equal opportunity.
"He wasn't disgruntled or anything, he just mucked up... he got on the turps one night and it went from there.
We made it onto Speak You're Branes with this story!
That took longer than I expected.
This pleases me. This pleases me no end.

Information provided by Auburn Athletics Dept.
The SEC champion Auburn Tigers practiced two hours in full pads late Wednesday afternoon at the Auburn Athletics Complex practice fields, preparing for their matchup with top-ranked Florida State in the BCS championship game.
"We are back on the practice field this week after a week of finals. Our players are very excited to get out there. We focused on our younger guys so far, and are trying to keep our older guys fundamentally sound. We will transition into Florida State later in the week," Coach Gus Malzahn, the national coach of the year, said. "Overall, I really like their attitude and a willingness to get better.
"Auburn is blue collar, hard-nosed, physically and mentally tough. That is who we are and that is how we win football games here. That is how they have done it for a long time. That is the one thing we realized that we have to get back. That is what we focused on."
Auburn has a 22-13-2 all-time record in bowl games, dating back through an appearance in the Bacardi Bowl in Havana, Cuba, following the 1936 season. The Tigers have won their last five bowl matchups.
Behind 1000-yard rushers Tre Mason and Nick Marshall, Auburn leads the nation in rushing at 335.7 yards per game, and would be the first SEC team ever to capture the NCAA team rushing title. The Tigers are one of just four teams nationally to have had four different players rush for 100 yards in at least one game this season.
Auburn, ranked second in the BCS standings with a 12-1 record, will practice through Saturday before taking a Christmas break. The Tigers arrive in California December 31. The Vizio BCS National Championship is Monday, January 6, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. ESPN will televise the 7:30 p.m. Central contest.

Research: Emergence of new leptospiral serovars (family of bacteria) in American Samoa
BackgroundLeptospirosis has recently been discussed as an emerging infectious disease in many contexts, including changes in environmental drivers of disease transmission and the emergence of serovars. In this paper, we report the epidemiology of leptospiral serovars from our study of human leptospirosis in American Samoa in 2010, present evidence of recent serovar emergence, and discuss the potential epidemiological and ecological implications of our findings.ResultsHuman leptospirosis seroprevalence in American Samoa was 15.5% in 2010, with serological evidence that infection was caused by three predominant serovars (Hebdomadis, LT 751, and LT 1163). These serovars differed from those identified in an earlier study in 2004, and were not previously known to occur in American Samoa. In 2010, serovars also differed in geographic distribution, with variations in seroprevalence between islands and different ecological zones within the main island.

Hogs: We really don't have a problem with a break in the cash hog market. It gained roughly $7 since the start of the year. Part of that was on weather hiccups. Seeing a setback for the next week or two is not unreasonable.
The lean hog index, the measure of cash hog prices, got up to $90 and futures are implying it will be around $87 by Feb. 14 (expiration of Feb futures). That's not out of range of reason. April futures are implying another period of slight declines. That fits in with our seasonal study for this time of year. The lean hog index has fallen in 10 of the past 17 years between Feb. 14 to April 14.
We are not arguing with hold a neutral to slightly negative viewpoint here. The forecast shows precipitation coming on Sunday for the upper Midwest. It may bring snow to Minnesota, but Iowa may see that as rain depending on temperatures. We have noted this week our interest in summer futures. May through August futures are in the $95 and $96 range. From a price standpoint, that is looking a little cheap. From a timing standpoint, we cannot say this is a buy yet.
Cattle: The trade finally filled that open gap that was sticking out on the April and June charts. The market is now back to the level it was at before Japan announced they would expand its U.S. beef purchases.
If you are looking for a reason beyond this chart discussion of why futures fell $1 Wednesday, you will be hard pressed. Wholesale beef was up on Monday and Tuesday and slightly higher this morning (lower choice but higher select). There were no new deliveries posted Tuesday against the February contract. That implies the trade feels higher cash cattle prices, as implied by the February contract, are just fine.
We are now back to prices we consider a value, and our buy order was filled. We do hold the belief that this market will be dealing with some tight supply issues in the coming weeks. This should overcome any demand problems that are being seen right now. This market needs to see these supplies dry up before the trade is ready to trade it though.

Chicago NPR Station Story On Sox Runs Friday

This and That:
Because I have no idea how much of my interview is going to make it into the final piece I thought I should give an account in general terms of what I said.
Interview lasted about 15 minutes.
Michael first asked for my background which I gave him.
His first question to me was the reasons I thought Sox attendance had dropped.
Basically I said it was a combination of things... the "dynamic pricing concept" which based on the comments at WSI many fans don't understand, dislike and in some cases feel they are being taken advantage of given the cost of tickets at other legit ticket broker sites.
I talked about because attendance has dropped, it has got to be hurting 'walk up' sales which are a large part historically of the Sox fan base. I said even with the team in first, the cost of the tickets overall and the economic situation in this country is making it very hard for fans to come up with the money to go particularly on the spur of the moment. I mentioned the Tribune story on September 1st quoting a CSN official as saying Sox games on TV are up 10% from last year, that fans are still intensely interested but simply can't go to the game in person.
I talked about the average ticket cost for a Sox game, 4th highest in baseball almost up there with the Yankees and Red Sox then linked that to the Sox performance since winning the World Series. I said Sox fans care about winning and will pay high prices if the team does so but if they are not they won't. I reminded him the Sox drew almost three million after winning the World Series.
Michael asked me 'but the team has been in 1st place most of the year' I answered go back to my comments about walk up sales and TV ratings. I also said that because the club was picked to finish so badly this year there was little off season buzz and fans remained skeptical about their chances which has proved to be correct based on crunch time.
Michael asked me if Ozzie's leaving and the notion that the team is boring without him,had anything to do with attendance.
I said most Sox fans wanted Ozzie gone because he quit on the team, mentioned Tom Paciorek's comments about the feeling in the club house this year compared to last season. Regarding the boring aspect because Ozzie wasn't around mouthing off every day I said it's about winning, everything else to a lot of Sox fans is secondary.
He then asked if I had the 'solution.'
I answered that my comments are based just on what I read, what I see fans posting at WSI and in some cases what I hear but I have no inside idea of what the Sox plan is, just that Brooks is a sharp guy and he must have some logical reasons for doing it the way he is. That said if it was me and I said I'm not a businessman but if sales are bad this off season I'd announce that next year certain section of the park, including some decent seats are going to be sold for 15-20 dollars, all games, all dates, all opponents...no exceptions. I said I'd rather have an extra 15 thousand a game at 15 bucks, plus parking, plus concessions plus souvenirs then five thousand a game at full price. But I also said if the team is bad next year the Sox could almost give tickets away and it will be a tough sell because the bottom line when all is said and done is winning.
It was a pleasant conversation.
He said he'd send me the link to the story which I'll post so fans can listen.
I also told him after he did that I'd send him the link to this thread so he and his station can read comments about the piece or about the problem in general.
So if you want to weigh in on the Sox attendance situation, this is your chance.

Bagel Company Sued For Claiming It Had Patented Process For Making 'Brooklyn Water'
from the rolls-with-holes dept
So, this next lawsuit caught my attention not just because of the patent issues (the stuff that normally catches my attention), but also because it's about bagels and bagel water. Apparently, there's a company (based in Florida, not Brooklyn), called the Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co., which claims to not just make New York-style bagels, but also to make its own "Brooklyn water," which is necessary for making such bagels, via a "14-step patented process." However, another Florida-based eatery, Mamma Mia's Trattoria is suing OBWB for false patent marking, saying the 14-step patented process is neither 14 steps nor patented:
Mamma Mia points out how often OBWB points to its "patented process" in its marketing and advertising campaigns, suggesting some sort of proprietary and exclusive advantage. However, Mamma Mia notes, it does not appear that OBWB actually holds any patents whatsoever. Oops. OBWB's claim for its "patented process," apparently comes from the fact that it licensed a bunch of patents from another company -- Aquathin (also from Florida), which makes water filtration systems. When Mamma Mia demanded to know what patents were being used, OBWB listed out seven patents from Aquathin.
The only problem? Four of the seven patents are already expired. Of the remaining patents, two are actually design, not utility, patents (which is more like a trademark, and not what people think of when talking about a patent, as it's about the design of a product not any "process"). That leaves a single utility patent (which is close to expiring), but if you look at that actual patent (5,147,533), it's about how to mount a water purification system under a kitchen sink -- which has nothing to do with the process of purifying the water itself.
So, there doesn't appear to be any actual 14-step-patented process here. There may be a 14-step process, and who knows if it actually creates anything close to Brooklyn water, but the patent claim appears to be highly questionable, at best. Even so, Mamma Mia's complaint notes, OBWB still threatened to sue Mamma Mia for infringing on its (apparently non-existent) "patented process," in offering its own "New York-style" pizza.
If the allegations are true, this does seem like exactly what patent marking lawsuits were designed for: to prevent a company from falsely claiming a monopoly on something it has no right to. Of course, this means that if it's actually possible to create a process to replicate New York water (that doesn't involve, you know, bottling water from New York and shipping it around), and that process is not patented, then perhaps there's still hope that we'll be able to get "real" bagels in California...

Granola for fellow "Granolas"
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes:
According to the "Urban Dictionary," granola can be defined as:
"An adjective used to describe people who are environmentally aware (flower child, tree-hugger), open-minded, left-winged, socially aware and active, gay friendly, anti-oppressive/discriminatory (racial, sexual, gender, class, age, etc.) with an organic and natural emphasis on living, who might refrain from consuming or using anything containing animals and animal by-products (for health and/or environmental reasons), as well as limit consumption of what he or she does consume, as granola people are usually concerned about wasting resources. Usually buy only fair-trade goods and refrain from buying from large corporations, as most exploit the environment as well as their workers, which goes against granola core values. The choice of not removing body hair (see 'amazon') and drug use are not characteristics that define granola people, and people, regardless of granola status, may or may not partake in said activities. This definition is sometimes confused with hippie."
I'd like to wear the "granola" badge proudly, and I'll bet this granola recipe can bring out the granola that lives deep down in you too! Okay, it's a goofy thought but if tree-huggin' ain't your gig, this will at least get you rolling for a perfect day living your best life. - Happyolks
According to the "Urban Dictionary," granola can be defined as:
Food52 Review: I am a huge fan of homemade granola and I just love this recipe by Happyolks; I've nicknamed it "loaded granola" because of all of the great stuff in here. I liked how all of the nuts, seeds, raisins and spices worked together to create a very flavorful mix without all that much sweetener. I left out the nutmeg because I don't really like it and used Lyle's cane syrup instead of the maple or rice syrup, otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. When you bake it, definitely follow the instructions to spread the granola out between 2-3 pans, because if you pile it all onto one pan, it will take much longer than an hour to bake. With plain Greek yogurt and berries, this is pretty much my ideal breakfast. - WinnieAb —WinnieAb
Makes: plenty to share
cups Bobs Red Mill GF Oats
cups plain Kamut puffs
cup crushed raw almonds
cup crushed raw walnuts
1/2 cup
crushed raw pecans
cup raw pumpkin seeds
cup unsweetened raisins
cup ground flax seeds or chia seeds
cup chia seeds
cup raw coconut flakes
tablespoons cinnamon
tablespoon nutmeg
teaspoon ground ginger
cup Maple or Brown Rice Syrup
- Mix all the dry ingredients in a jumbo-sized bowl.
- Slowly stir in syrup and used a rubber spatula to coat the mixture lightly. If you feel like there isn't enough to go around, add just a tad of walnut or safflower oil. This isn't meant to be a super sweet granola though.
- Lay out the sticky mixture on 2 or 3 cookie pans with ledges so things don't get too exciting in the oven.
- Bake for close to an hour on the lowest setting of your oven, probably 200' F.
- Allow to cool and harden for about 15 minutes on the sheets before storing in airtight tupperware or a glass jar. Enjoy with greek yogurt and summer berries and stone fruits.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

When companies report on their corporate social responsibility (CSR), it encourages more companies to engage in these practices. The Commission's study on the state of play in sustainability reporting in the EU, illustrates how companies deal with CSR reporting in practice.
The study looks at:
Companies report because it enhances their reputation, although it can increase their costs. The challenge lies in selecting what to report on, how sensitive different data are, how to organise content, and how to correctly pitch quality.
The research reveals that readers of CSR reporting look for a genuine attempt by companies to honestly and realistically portray their CSR activities, in a way that helps readers assess the sustainability of the company's activities.
The study finds that readers needs are best met when:

LONDON (AP) — The new archbishop of Canterbury was formally enthroned Thursday — and questions about the Church of England's opposition to same-sex marriage greeted his promotion.
Justin Welby is the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury, serving as head of the Church of England and spiritual leader of the world's 77 million-strong Anglican Communion.
Welby was formally enthroned at the 900-year-old Canterbury Cathedral in southern England before politicians, including Prime Minister David Cameron and religious leaders. Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, also attended.
Dressed in a cope, stole and a gold-colored silk mitre, Welby symbolically struck the cathedral's west door three times with the end of his staff to formally request admission to the cathedral.
As the doors opened slowly, a choir welcomed Welby with a psalm.
The new archbishop later declared to the service that he solemnly committed himself to the service of the Anglican Communion.
Earlier in the day, Welby talked to the BBC about some of the issues that have dogged his predecessors and led to deep divisions within the church.
He acknowledged that many gays have enduring relationships of "stunning" quality — a fact he said that has "deeply challenged" his own views on gay marriage.
He also predicted in a Channel Five interview that there will be a female archbishop in the future despite the failure to pass legislation backing the idea last year.
From Rome, Pope Francis sent a message congratulating Welby and calling for a meeting in the near future.
"Please be assured of my prayers as you take up your new responsibilities," the pope said.
The enthronement also drew protesters angered over government welfare cuts, waving signs bearing messages such as "cuts are crippling me."
Police said a 47-year-old man who allegedly ran at a car taking guests to the ceremony was arrested on suspicion of breaching the peace.
AP writers Cassandra Vinograd and Jill Lawless in London contributed to this report.

They appear to be a bit misguided, for example the following statement around bicycle accidents...
there is no insurance cover for either the rider or the unfortunate victim involved.
Considering that in an accident the rider is usually also the "unfortunate victim" then their suggestion of compulsory third party insurance won't make much difference to this as it won't cover the rider/victim!
There's also a list of points about rego, numberplates and ID cards which appears completely unenforceable (I don't believe that the council has the power to impose restrictions on cyclists who live outside their area when on public streets)
Oh, yes... and the registration will "ensure that the road rules are adhered to"... Despite the fact that this doesn't seem to work on cars!

Roubo's Folding Bookstand
A woodwright translates (and channels) the 18th-century French Master.
By Roy Underhill
Page: 34-37
From the February 2011 issue #188
Buy this issue now
Translating André Roubo's instructions from the 18th-century French is a delight, for he speaks to you as if he's just stopped by your bench. The level of detail assures you that this is something he has done himself, and the money-saving tips remind you of his early days as a poor apprentice. Even the way he often leaves out the first thing you should know until the very last gives you the sense of a mind overflowing with knowledge.
This little bookstand from plate No. 331 of "L'Art du Menuisier" will give you a quick dip into the torrent of his genius. It's a modest but appropriate introduction to the man, because books truly bookended his life story – as we'll see when we first walk a few miles in the boots of Monsieur Roubo.

It takes 6 of us to review this movie, and we still can't come to a consensus...
Many people on Twitter pooped themselves during this movie... find out if we had the same experience.
It's been just over two years since we lampooned "Mirrors" on the podcast, citing major failures in nearly every department. Except for Kiefer Sutherland's hilarious 24-esque peformance, there was almost nothing of note aside from a few tense moments and jump scares. With the way that the film was received, it would seem that there was no reason for a sequel, especially one that was lacking its only notable characteristic (Hint: It has a permanent 5 o'clock shadow).
Mainstream horror, in my opinion, is currently going through one of the worst creative droughts since the 90's. Over the past twelve months, genre fans have been subjected to one low-budget, direct-to-video sequel after another as shady producers and opportunistic studios attempt to cash in on previous successes.
3 out of 4 members of the Podcast enjoyed "The Haunting in Connecticut", can you guess which one didn't?
In retrospect, it's actually quite amusing that distributor Lionsgate felt compelled to build their campaign for "The Haunting in Connecticut" around the idea that the script was based on a true story. As out front with the concept as they were, one should be forgiven for attempting to ignore the nagging feeling of "really, a true story?" while trying to enjoy the genuinely creepy suspense. The trouble is that at no point does "Haunting's" realness add anything substantive to the plot or our appreciation of the conflict at hand.
We had the chance recently to talk with Peter Cornwell from the SXSW cultural festival, on his experiences directing Lionsgate's upcoming release "The Haunting in Connecticut". Here's what happened.
I had heard that the true story behind "The Haunting in Connecticut" had been turned into a TV special at some point, but hadn't taken the time out to try and find it. A reader sent this in to me today, so here it is guys.
I thought I had adequately prepared myself for the experience of watching "The Haunting of Molly Hartley". I was wrong.

First Impressions
The old saying goes you only have one chance to make a first impression, and digging into putting together the new Steel City Table saw I found myself impressed. The steel tube crate was bolted together, and after taking it off I got my first good look inside the cabinet.
Two latches hold the motor cover on, and I was impressed with the fact that the motor was secured with a block of foam.
After removing the foam and putting the belt on the pulleys I spent some time examining the interior of the saw.
At the bottom of the photo you can see a ramp that will direct dust and chips to the dust collection port at the back of the saw. Everything inside was a bit heavier than I expected, after all this is an entry level saw and it retails for around $1000. If a manufacturer is going to cut some corners, this is usually where they do it. Here is a close look at the trunnions (which mount to the cabinet by the way) at the back end of the saw.
The next tasks to take care of were to mount the cast iron wings and put on the height and angle adjustment wheels. Putting on the wings isn't an everyday task, and it can be a pain getting them bolted on and lined up.
I managed to get some help from Ellis Walentine getting them in place. Ellis was passing through Cincinnati, and dropped by to visit.
Steel City added an extremely thoughtful touch to the wing attachment. On every other saw I've put together,
lining up the wings involved sticking shims between the wing and the top. This is a trial and error process; guessing at a shim thickness, lifting up the end of the wing, then checking with a straight edge. It's on of those things you never get right the first time, and it can get frustrating. With the set screws, it only took a twist of the wrench to set the wings right where I wanted them. That was all I had time for today. Tomorrow I'll be putting on the fence and hopefully be cutting wood by lunchtime.
Recent Posts
How much heavier are the trunnions compaired to other hybrid saws? Is it better for the trunnions to be mounted to the cabinet? I'm looking to move up from the contractor saw and really dont need a 3 horse power saw. Everything i've been reading about Steel City has been positive so far.

ISAMBARD Community School headteacher Rachael Mattey has rung the bell on her 34-year career in education saying she wants no part in a system she claims is going back to the 1970s.
The 54-year-old, who commutes to Redhouse every day from her home in Malvern, Worcestershire, said she disagreed with the direction the Government was taking reform and how the Ofsted was inspecting schools.
On Monday she announced her decision to retire to staff before she attended a garden party at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday in recognition of her services to education.
Rachael, who was appointed the school's first headteacher eight years ago, said she was concerned about the Government's plans.
"I fundamentally disagree with the changes being made by the Government, I don't want to be part of it," she said.
"Morale is very low at the moment among teachers. They feel they are not being listened to as a profession and I agree with them. "I disagree with Ofsted's one-size-fits-all model for inspections and looking at the National Curriculum changes it's similar to what I was doing in the 1970s. "I cannot see how it can prepare anybody for 21st century life. It's going backwards.
"Schools will be very different places in the future."
Rachael said she had been mulling over retirement for several months. The former Birmingham inner city school teacher said: "I had been thinking about retiring for several months but it did come as a bit of a bombshell when I told staff on Monday. "People have said nice things but there are of course lots of questions about what will happen next as I've led the school from the beginning.
"I took the job because it was an opportunity to start a school and they don't come up very often. "I'm happy with the direction I've taken it in and it's a wonderful place to be.
"I'm jealous of our students as I wish I could have gone to a school like this.
"It was not a particularly hard decision. There comes a time when any organisation needs a fresh pair of eyes to see what it is doing right and what can be improved."
While she has yet to decide what exactly she will do next, Rachael says it may involve elements of education through training or consultancy.
in a letter to parents on Monday the chairman of the governors, Kevin Gray, said : "There is no doubt that Mrs Mattey will leave behind a significant legacy based on caring for the students at the school and giving them the ability to see that there are no end of possibilities open to each and every one of them. "She also leaves behind a highly qualified and competent team.
"The first step in this process is for the governors to meet and make a decision as to how they wish to proceed in terms of selecting and employing a new headteacher.
"We want to assure you that student progress will not be adversely affected by this announcement and the ensuing recruitment of a new headteacher. "In fact, we expect that the changes that will be implemented in the near future will improve our students' welfare and attainment.
"One of the long-term changes that you will see being implemented over the next academic year is an increase in community engagement."

Post subject: Trip to Grand Lake
Trip to Grand Lake
I woke up in the morning to knocking on my door; I wandered how the person had got through my Wyvern Watch that I set up every night. When I open the door it is my long time friend Ratnik, I hadnt seen him in about two years. This was quite an unexpected surprise. I asked Ratnik why he was here, and he responded saying it was a long time since we had seen each other and so he thought we should go out for breakfast and maybe head out for some adventure. He had recently become restless; it had been two years since he had been out for any fun. Although, that amount of time is nothing for those lazy elves, which never do anything. The rest of the day we planned out what we would want to do. We first decided we would head to Lowburg to meet up with Gohan and we decided we would head to the castle in the middle of Grand Lake since Ratnik had already visited the dungeon in the middle of the forest near Lowburg. We decided we would head out in the morning.
That night we decided we would head to the bar for a night of party. We met this cool ranger though I forget his name so I will just call him Eric. We drank much dwarven ale that night. Ratnik became quite drunk and passed out. Eric didnt have quite as many as him so he was fine. I told Eric to meet us at the magic shop in the morning and join us on the trip to Grand Lake. He said he would be there in the morning. I then brought Ratnik home. I left a note on Ratniks door telling him to meet us at the magic shop in the morning.
In the morning we checked out what the magic shop had in stock. They had some kind of magic but it was some kind of lame oil that wouldnt help at all so we didnt purchase it, especially since Ratnik was the only one who could afford it. We then headed for Molle and made it there without any trouble. The next day we headed for Opt. On the first day we were met by some farmers, but we left them alone and headed on our way. On the second day a Rok flew overhead but it left us alone and we made it to Opt that night. The magic shop had an incredibly rare item in it. The owner was extremely proud. It was a box that had about 7 levers that when pulled made certain things come out of the box, when all 7 levers were pulled it looked a lot like a crab. It could contain 2 man size creatures and could travel in water without anyone drowning. The only problem was none of us could afford it, it costs 15000 Gold pieces. We stayed the night and headed out for Lowburg. We made it there without any difficulty. We stayed at Gohans house that night. Ratnik and I were both surprised to find out Gohan had a girlfriend staying with him. Her name was Christine Abume.
The next day we left her at Gohans house and he headed out with us. We followed the river to the second trail and took that to North Graal. It was a two and a half day ride. On the second night during Gohan and Erics shift we were attacked by eight goblins. They woke us up and we easily took care of them. I tried asking some questions of the dead goblins to find out where there lair was, but they were too stupid to be of any help to us. So I healed the people who were hurt, and we just went back to bed. In the morning we headed to North Graal and then down to Graal. We made it to both safely. At the magic shop was another magical item that had little use to our party and was not worth its expensive cost.
In Graal we went to the mayor to help with cost of getting spells for us to get down to the castle, but he said they hadnt had attacks since we were last here and that we had fixed the problem, so the city wouldnt help pay us. So we went to the church and paid for some free action spells and then I cast water breathing on us. We than made it to the little red ball and were transferred up into the first room of the dungeon. We then pulled the lever in the room and it began to fill with water and we stepped on a wooden platform and rode it up to the next level. I then showed the others around a few rooms on the first floor. Because Ratnik spoke Aquatic Elf we were able to figure out that the castle was made by aquatic elves and that the Sawagen defeated the Aquatic Elves in a war. I also used my Helm of Comprehending Languages to discover what was on the papers. We then figured out where the platform was and had them stand on the platform and I cast water breathing on myself. I went to the water room through the timed doors and I started with the water room, which actually let to the ocean. I then went through the timed doors and ran through them to the platform room and onto the platform. It then lifted us up to the second floor.
Once to the second floor we went through the first door and there was absolutely nothing in there. In the second room was a statue. I picked it up and was immediately attacked by water elemental. It hurt me a little and I failed to hit it all together, but Eric, Gohan, and Ratnik easily finished it off. We then traveled down the hallway and after finding a closet we found a bedroom. The bedroom had a door in it but I couldnt make it budge. We searched a couple more rooms without finding anything. It was getting late and I was low on spells for the day from healing our party so we decided to spend the night in the bedroom with the locked door in it.
In the morning we went headed out again the next room we went into looked like the first platform room so we figured that was how we would get up a floor, but we decided to finish searching the second floor. The next room we went into was a room full of crystals with a blue ball in the middle with a hand print in it. Ratnik put his hand on the hand print and an aquatic elf image appeared. The aquatic elf was filled with all of the information of the castle, but when we asked him the code for downstairs he wouldnt help us. When we asked him about the bedroom he said it was his, and we found out his name was Trelam. Those elves all have such weird names. After we were done talking to him, I tried to take the ball with me but it was connected. While grabbing it I noticed that when my hand was on the handprint he didnt speak. So Ratnik put his hand to it again and Trelam popped up and we asked him why it didnt work for me and he said that some things in the castle could only be revealed by elves with true elf blood.
After hearing that we headed back to the bedroom and Eric who was also an elf touched the door in the bedroom and letters in aquatic elf appeared on the door and it said please say the passphrase. We said the passphrase which we had figured out earlier and found a magical item that was named Trelams Plaitmail. Trelams Plaitmail we later figure out is +1 Plaitmail which allows 10 mins of breathing underwater and the ability to swim in it. Although, the plaitmail only fits elves.
We then headed to the next room. In this room we were attacked instantly by Sawagen and Ratnik who was in the lead was hit by a spear. We then pushed into the room and defeated them quickly. There were many green blobs all over this room we figured out they were Sawagen babies. The Sawagen in this room also had a pretty good treasure on them with a crappy weapon or two. We destroyed all the green blobs so they couldnt be hatched.
The next room we visited was a room with a mural; it was in 4 different colors. The colors were red, orange, blue, and black. We then went through the next door which had four doors in the room. In the four rooms were a pillar in each room and each room had its own color. The rooms were red, orange, blue, and black. We went back to Trelam and he wouldnt give us any information on them, but he told us our statue was made of Onyx, which it stood for the color black and meant death. We then went to the black room and put the statue on the black pillar and nothing happened.
We then gave up on this floor and proceeded to the next floor by pulling the lever and riding the platform up. We than traveled through the third floor pretty quickly, there wasnt much to it. We got attacked once or twice, found 7 long swords and 5 short swords. 2 of the long swords and 1 short sword were glowing. They were a few rooms with windows looking out into the ocean, we found a room with a statue like our other one in it and we found a kitchen a dining room and a clothes room. After being attacked those one or two times I healed everybody and we stayed the night in the clothes room so they would make a comfortable bed.
In the morning we found the next platform room and pulled the lever and we took it up to the fourth floor. The first room we went into was a glass hallway where we could see out into the ocean. At the end of the hallway you can see that it used to be connected to another part but now they are disconnected. I would one day like to go and see what I can find over in that part of the castle that used to be connected.
The next room we went into Ratnik went into first and it showed a scene of the war between the Aquatic Elves and the Sawagen and as we went through the next 4 rooms it showed more and more of the history of the castle, but when I went first the scenes didnt happen.
The next door we went into was a glass hallway with a door at the end, there was nothing through that door, but through the next door was a chapel. It looked as if it used to be a chapel devoted to the Aquatic Elvin god, but was now replaced by an area of worship for the Sawagen. We then went through the next door and were immediately hit by Magic Missiles, there were two magic using Sawagen in this room, but we easily took care of them. We then made it through two more doors and then we were down to two doors left. I figured one would lead to a treasure room and one would lead to a leader and a big battle.
We took the left door. Ratnik opened the left door and just missed getting hit by a spear. He saw many Sawagen and immediately closed the door. We were down in health a little bit, but we knew they could be coming out soon for us, so we decided to cast as many protection spells as possible. We could here them preparing for us also. I cast a prayer spell, a protection from evil spell, and a dust devil spell. This gave us a better chance to hit them and them a worse chance to hit us. The dust devil could swarm around a spell caster and make it so they couldnt cast spells. It would also attack it doing minimal damage.
Ratnik then led the way into the room and froze immediately I recognized it as the spell Wyvern Watch. We shouldnt have been stupid enough to fall for that, I cast it all the time. Gohan and I pushed passed the paralyzed Ratnik and Eric followed up the rear. There were about 18 Sawagen fighting, 2 Sawagen Priest/Magic Users and 1 Sawagen Leader/Cheerleader.
I took out 2 Sawagen right away. Eric got one or two. Gohan also got 1 or 2. Finally Ratnik gained the ability to move, by this time Eric was looking rather close to falling under, and Ratnik was slowing down before he even started. The Sawagen must have started tiring to, because they were missing us a lot, maybe it was the quickness of Eric and Ratnik that saved them trough most of it. They got a few more kills. Gohan took out most of them. On the other hand the Sawagen I was fighting and I must have been put under a spell to not be able to hit each other, because we just kept swinging at each other for about a minute and a half without hitting each other. This whole time my dust devil was slowly taking out one of the priests, the other priest hit us with a magic missile. The leader sat there with his weapon above his head, pumping his arms up and down above his head and cheered.
Out of nowhere I saw Eric fall. His two Sawagen left attacked him another time when he was down, but missed. I laughed at their pathetic attempts. That was a bad move, because just at that moment one of the Sawagens I was fighting hit me across the head and the other hit me in the leg, one was probably the strongest I was ever hit by a Sawagen and the other one was a pretty good hit too. It was a bad move on there part because I killed one of them with the next swing of my hammer. Gohan and Ratnik also took one of theirs out at the same time. Then I saw Ratnik get hit and fall to the ground as I yelled for Ratnik I got hit again. I was getting worried that I might not be able to hold on for much longer, than it would be up to Gohan. In a last struggle to not fall I swung my hammer with all my might and took out another one. Gohan and I each had one left. He finished off his and ran to take care of the priest that my dust devil wasnt surrounding. I finished mine off and the dust devil killed the priest. Gohan had left a healing potion for me so I gave that one to Ratnik, and then gave Ratnik one of my healing potions to give to Eric. Then I drank a healing potion myself. I told my dust devil to help Gohan. The big leader guy was still cheering. Im not sure why he only had 1 priest left and no fighters. I then took out my swing and after Eric was healed he took out his bow. I shot the leader and got two good hits on him. He then charged me and I got out my hammer. I hit him with my hammer before he got a chance to hit me, but I didnt get a good hit on him. Eric then shot and missed both of us by a lot with his bow. I think he was afraid to hit me. I then see that Gohan and my dust devil killed the priest and I instructed my dust devil to come help us. Gohan did the same. The next round I didnt get a piece of that Sawagen, but Eric, Gohan, and Ratnik all did. After killing them I used all of my healing spells and we collected the treasure in the room. They had another of those aquatic elf statues. We then headed back to the second floor and talked to Trelam. He told us what the statues were made of and what color they represented. We tried them in the color room, but nothing happened. We needed the fourth one and we knew where it was, but not how to get to it. All Trelam would tell us is that the combination had to do with the architecture of the building. That didnt help us. We also guessed and Trelam confirmed that the clue was on the first floor. After much searching and much time wasted and outside force had to point out the architecture and we then figured out the combination.
When we put the combination in order we found a magical battle axe and the last statue. We took all four statues up to the fourth floor and put them in the right colored rooms on the pedestals. The statues melted into them and out in the room connecting the colored rooms a new door appeared. We went through it and we all screamed for joy. We found the treasure. As soon as we grabbed the treasure we found ourselves all back in Goldenthull. We then identified our magic and sold our stuff. We had many gems and quite a few art objects. We made about 9000 Gold each and Eric got a +4 long sword and a +1 short sword and Ratnik got a +1 long sword. Overall it was a good adventure. We got a lot of treasure. I made a new friend and spent time with an old friend. I just dont understand why I always have to hang out with those filthy elves. Ok these two arent that filthy.

Sergio I hope I didn't give away to much of the dungeon. I was trying to keep the answers to the puzzles secret so that other people could have fun with the dungeon.

"Xenoblade Chronicles released last year in the U.S. on April 6th. The game was sold exclusively at GameStop (stores and online) and had a MSRP of $49.99.
The game was developed by Monolith Soft and published by Nintendo, and received an ESRB rating of "TEEN" with "Blood, Mild Language, Partial Nudity, Use of Alcohol and Tobacco, Violence" listed as content for parents and gamers to be aware of.
How many hours have U.S. Wii owners reported playing the Xenoblade Chronicles since it released last year, and about how many U.S. Wii owners now have data reported for the game? Brew yourself some coffee, and let's take a look at the official U.S. Nintendo Channel data, as well as other information about Xenoblade Chronicles!", writes CoffeeWithGames.
This game needs a re-release.
With GameStop complaining about profits, they should strike a Digital Sell Deal with Nintendo.
I still can't play it. I was wanting to buy at Christmas but it was out everywhere and still is. Nintendo should put it on their online service. This way people like me that can't get it. Then can get it.
I wanted to buy a wii just for this game...but i looked at the price on amazon and said **** that noise.
and was only a few moths after the games release!
Nintendo really screwed up
i have 2 copies of this game lol. bought it when it first came out and then saw a copy used and grabbed it for a backup
Bought the game day one.
Still have yet to buy a Wii...

Sing me no song! Read me no rhyme!
Don't waste my time, Show me!
Don't talk of June, Don't talk of fall!
Don't talk at all! Show me!
Never do I ever want to hear another word.
There isn't one I haven't heard.
Here we are together in what ought to be a dream;
Say one more word and I'll scream!
My Fair Lady 1964 Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner
Yesterday I wrote about the Bakers union and the idea they might be going Galt. I've been thinking about this and I have one question for the union and those who think they have given back too much.
I totally understand the idea of: "Why should I take that pay cut? It's not fair." I remember the first job I interviewed after the company I worked for folded had a 25% pay cut. By the time I switched over to what I do now the best I saw out there was a 40% pay cut from the last time I had any sense of job security, coincidentally the last full month before the election of Barack Obama.
It seems to me that if the Bakers and the Teamsters believe they are worth more than Hostess was paying them and such a business can be sustained at the wages they were making as long as the execs aren't making 6 or 7 figure payouts there is a simple way of proving it.
I would imagine a large scale baker has an intimate knowledge of the making of pastries. And a union is simply a big company with the workers as the product. There are plenty of execs in the Union who are experienced in the management skills necessary to run a company. So here is how they can demonstrate it to the world:
1. Become a bidder for the Hostess/Drakes brands:
Presumably the Teamsters and their associated unions that had millions of dollars to spend on political campaigns should be able to make a credible bid for a bankrupt company. If the company is purchased then they can run the company the way they wish, pay the wages they want and charge the prices to support it. They can show Hostess how it's done with the Hostess & Drakes brands to do it with.
2. Create their own confectionery/bakery company.
I assume Union bakers who have been baking tasty cakes and good bread can come up with their own version of tasty cakes and good bread that people will want to eat. They are bakers after all this is what they do. All they have to do is buy the equipment (now being sold at a discount) grab the staff that is now looking for work and sign up the customers now short of bread and cakes and violá.
Both of these plans give, as Marx would put it, control of the means of production. If they are right, if management has been taking them for a ride all this time then by becoming management they can demonstrate to the entire world how to do it right.
Of course, it's my experience that the easiest business to run is a business owned by someone else. If the union thinks they can run a snack cake business better they the management they rejected this is the perfect time to do it. If they do, not only will I and a good chunk of America have the pleasure of enjoying tasty cakes and bread (I LIKE tasty cakes and bread) they will find themselves employed and successful which will be much more satisfying and important than any mea culpas they will earn from us folks on the right.
Of course if they can't, or don't choose to and somebody else buys the brand names, and equipment and hires non-union workers and pay what they want to pay to make the company show a profit without them, it will simply prove our point.
I suspect this is the only time in creation that the Bakers Union has been compared to Freddy Eynsford-Hill. Their actions will determine if their words about loving those Union Jobs are as empty as his were about Eliza.

Says the website, 'OpenVSP allows the user to create a 3D model of an aircraft defined by common engineering parameters. This model can be processed into formats suitable for engineering analysis.
