- Tables updates log and rollback
README ------ E-Maj: logs and rollbacks table updates Version: 1.1.0 1- License This software is distributed under the GNU General Public License. 2- Objectives The main goals of E-Maj are: - log updates performed on one or several sets of tables. - cancel these updates if needed, and reset a tables set to a predefined stable state. In development environments, it brings a good help in testing application, providing an easy way to rollback all updates generated by programs execution, and replay these processings as many times as needed. In production environments, it brings a good solution to: - keep an history of updates performed on tables to examine them in case of problem - set inter-batch savepoints on group of tables, - easily "restore" this group of tables at a stable state, without being obliged to stop the cluster, - handle several savepoints during batch windows, each of them been usable at any time as "restore point". It brings a good alternative to the management of several database disk images. In both environments, being able to examine the history of updates performed on tables can be very helpful in debugging work or for any other purposes. 3- Supplied files - README this readme file - CHANGES release notes - LICENSE license information - AUTHORS who is behind E-Maj - META.json meta file for PGXN - sql/emaj.sql psql installation script - sql/check-0.10.1-to-0.11.0-conditions.sql psql script to check that all conditions allowing a direct migration from 0.10.1 to 0.11.0 are met - sql/emaj-0.10.0-to-0.10.1.sql psql migration script from 0.10.0 to 0.10.1 - sql/emaj-0.10.1-to-0.11.0.sql psql migration script from 0.10.1 to 0.11.0 - sql/emaj-0.11.0-to-0.11.1.sql psql migration script from 0.11.0 to 0.11.1 - sql/emaj-0.11.1-to-1.0.0.sql psql migration script from 0.11.1 to 1.0.0 - sql/emaj-1.0.0-to-1.0.1.sql psql migration script from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 - sql/emaj-1.0.1-to-1.0.2.sql psql migration script from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 - sql/emaj-1.0.2-to-1.1.0.sql psql migration script from 1.0.2 to 1.1.0 - sql/emaj--0.10.0--unpackaged.sql script used to unregister a 0.10.0 E-Maj extension - sql/emaj--0.10.1--unpackaged.sql script used to unregister a 0.10.1 E-Maj extension - sql/uninstall.sql uninstallation script - sql/demo.sql demonstration psql script - sql/prep-pr.sql psql script to prepare parallel rollback demonstration - doc/emaj.1.1.0_doc_en.pdf E-Maj user's guide in English - doc/emaj.1.1.0_doc_fr.pdf E-Maj user's guide in French - doc/emaj.1.1.0_pres_en.pdf E-Maj presentation in English - doc/emaj.1.1.0_pres_fr.pdf E-Maj presentation in French - php/emajParallelRollback.php external client for parallel rollback - php/emajRollbackMonitor.php external client to monitor in progress rollback operations 4- How to install and use E-Maj All the information details needed to install and use E-Maj are provided in the user's guide that is included in the supplied .tar file.

I recognize that some of the problems are painful for complex or heavily used development environments, but the ubiquity, the tools, the documentation makes it an obvious big win for most projects, doesn't it?
Where I work, I'm going to be forced to start using CA's Harvest, which looks pretty involved, especially for small projects. Anybody have any comments or experience on this produc
Based on this comparison and other information I've seen, doesn't it just make sense to choose CVS for most OS projects?
I've given an intro-to-CVS talk for a few user groups over the years. I'm constantly amazed at how many developers are working with significant bodies of code without version control.
Then again, using version control wasn't the norm 10-15 years ago. And a lot of Perl programmers aren't professional developers, so CVS is just another entry on the "list of things I gotta learn" for
Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/ [martynov.org])
I felt the same way, until somebody persuaded me to try it for a week. I now can't imagine going back to CVS unless forced. I really would give it a whirl - especially since you can now use the standalone svnserve server rather than having to muck around getting an Apache2 DAV server up and running.
I have to admit I try and avoid branch/merge at all costs since I find the reintegration pain worse than the avoiding-branching pain - but I understand that isn't always possible. Personally I prefer subversion

This is an article that we ran on ArkansasVarsity.com earlier in the year. We decided to bring it back up one more time after seeing discussions on message boards about how football in Arkansas evolved over the years. This is how we feel the evolution took place
Over the years, Arkansas High School Football has evolved. In the past, running teams dominated, but over the past 10 years or so, we have seen more pass oriented teams start peaking as the power house teams in the state.
With the classifications renewing, and smaller schools moving up into larger classifications, the coaches are seeing that they must "open it up" more. I've seen teams who dominated with the running attack in 2A ball, have to switch to a more balanced/passing attack in 3A ball, simply in order to be able to keep up with the competition as well as to be able to have any chance to win games.
Teams are also having to work on defense as well for the same reasons. In lower classifications, there were not a whole lot of passing teams. I equate that with Shiloh Christian's early success under offensive master mind Gus Malzahn. In 2A ball, most of the teams ran the ball, so they also ran defenses which defended against the run.
People like Malzahn exposed that, and had a lot of success off of it because people in 2A rarely had to defend the pass unless they played Shiloh. All of the other 2A power house team (Barton, Rison, Junction City, etc) all had running attacks, and that is what defenses prepared for.
This is what helped the evolution begin. Coaches like Malzahn knew that the defenses prepared for running teams more than passing teams, because quite frankly, in the lower classifications, there were not many passing teams. This was where Malzahn was able to expose a weakness in the late 90's at Shiloh Christian High School.
Shiloh was a 2A school. In the 90's, teams like Barton, Bauxite, Carlisle, and Rison were winning multiple State Championships, and were known as the 2A power house teams. They also featured running attacks that everyone else in 2A feared, and prepared for. With that being a key factor, Malzahn was able to use the No Huddle, Spread Offense to his advantage. Once he got his team conditioned to run the offense, there were no defenses in 2A ball who could defend against it for the entire length of a game. Running the No Huddle wore the defenses down, and allowed Malzahn's team to come out victorious against many good teams.
Because of this, other coaches in 2A knew they had to start preparing their defenses to defend the high powered spread attack that Malzahn and Shiloh Christian brought to the table.
December 9, 2000 was the first time that Shiloh Christian was faced with a 2A defense that was actually able to match their speed of the game, as well as defend against their passing attack. On that night at War Memorial Stadium, Gus Malzahn and his Shiloh Christian Saints were playing for a Third Straight Class 2A State Championship. Across the field was Clay Totty and his Rison Wildcat football team.
Going into the season from the first day of two-a-day practices, Totty and his staff knew if they were to win State, that they would have to defeat Malzahn and his Shiloh Christian Saints somewhere down the line in the playoffs. Because of that, Totty and his staff put in the "Shiloh Defense" on day one if practice, and his team practiced that defense for at least 30 minutes of every practice throughout the 2000 season.
Where Totty's Wildcat's typically ran a 4-3 base defense, this "Shiloh" defense was a 3-3-5 zone defense built to defend a high powered passing attack. It was decided early that no one would rush the quarter back, and everyone with the exception of the linemen would drop into pass coverage.
Practice paid off as Rison was able to defeat Shiloh Christian 30-29 in over time. Until that game, Shiloh Christian enjoyed a 44 game unbeaten streak with this high powered no huddle spread offense. This, however, would not be the last of Malzahn or his high octane offense. It was only the beginning.
Fast forward to the year 2005, and lets go to Springdale High School. There, again, Gus Malzahn had employed his high powered no huddle spread offense, but this time, in the highest classification in the state, and with some of the most talented skill players to ever come out of the state.
Springdale High featured Parade All American Quarter Back Mitch Mustain, Wide Receiver Damian Williams, and a host of other D1 prospects. Springdale was ranked Nationally, and went on to win the 2005 Class 7A State Championship, while being undefeated.
Now, this story is not about just Gus Malzahn, Shiloh Christian, Rison, or Springdale. This is about the evolution of Arkansas High School Football from power running teams, to power passing teams.
Malzahn set the footwork for what would help put Arkansas High School Football back on the map. Around the State of Arkansas, you now have teams like Warren, Glen Rose, Camden Fairview., Central Arkansas Christian, Springdale, Shiloh Christian, and countless others who have had great success running the spread offense.
All the while, we have also witnessed power house teams from smaller classifications move up into higher classifications and struggle, while having to revamp their offenses and defenses in order to compete with the teams at their new level.
The 2008 recruiting class out of Arkansas showed that the spread offense is helping to send quality athletes to college to play football. Kids like Joe Adams, Jim Youngblood, DeAnthony Curtis, Chris Gragg, Jarius Wright, Greg Childs, and a host of others signed on to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks under new head coach Bobby Petrino, due to the fact that he will run a high powered offense much like they ran in high school.
There are still several Arkansas High School Football teams having success on the ground with the running attack, and there will always be teams who do. There will be colleges that want kids from high schools like that, as they have success with the ground attack. The spread offense is not for every body, but it is obvious that it has had a tremendous impact on how football is now being played in our state, and how it is effecting recruiting in our state, as well as helping coaches move from the high school stadium to the collegiate stadium. In my opinion, Coach Gus Malzahn was the first coach to leave Arkansas High School football to go on and have success at the college level with this type of offense, but he will not be the last.
Now, this brings us back to defensive play. With the evolution of the spread passing game, defenses, and defensive players have had to evolve as well. Coaches are seeing that they can not just prepare for one offensive strike anymore, they must have their teams prepared to face a passing attack, a running attack, or even a balanced attack on any given Friday night. Some coaches have had to revamp defenses that they have ran for years because of the various offensive attacks which are being ran throughout the state.
With the evolution on both sides of the ball, it is helping to produce quality athletes at various positions, as well as helping those athletes obtain college educations because of their hard work both on and off of the football field.

Hello all, I just have a quick technical question, because I don't have my PoA book with me.
When did Harry find out/ when was it decided that Gryffindor was going to be playing Hufflepuff instead of Slytherin in the first match of the season in Prisoner of Azkaban? Like, a week beforehand?
ALso, it was during that week beforehand that Oliver Wood kept trying to give Harry peptalks, and tried to point Cedric out to Harry, right?
It's for my fic TCDF, and I realized I rather needed Cedric to find out that his team would be substituting for Slytherin, LOL. *headdesk*


text: He likely would have done the same had it been Amy in place of Andrea. The impression I get is that the bond he formed with the two sisters was such that his natural instinct was to act as a sort of father figure. With Amy dead, Andrea was all he had left of anything resembling a family. He didn't want to let go of that if he felt he didn't have to. Is this selfish? Well, yeah, sort of.... but then there's Andrea.... Andrea had just lost her sister and had discovered that the CDC was not going to be the savior of the human race like she had led herself to believe. As far as Andrea was concerned, there was nothing left to live for. Her solution, suicide, was maybe even more selfish than Dale's argument against it. Both had their own feelings in mind, but had Andrea not chosen to follow Dale out of the CDC, she would have affected anyone in the group who gave a damn about her, not just Dale. In convincing Andrea to press on, Dale really only affected Andrea's feelings toward him (as the "You son of a bitch!" look she gives him in the RV afterwards indicates). Jacqui being left behind is a bit strange, but less so if you accept that the character was created for the show for the single purpose of keeping Dr. Jenner from having to die alone.

The Arkansas Tech Golden Suns will be trying to get back onto the winning track as they host Christian Brothers University in a Gulf South Conference match at Tucker Coliseum.
Match time has been set for 7 tonight.
Both Tech (7-7, 0-1 GSC) and CBU (6-4, 0-1 GSC) lost their West Division openers on Tuesday evening, with the Suns falling 3-2 at the University of Central Arkansas and the Lady Buccaneers losing 3-1 in Memphis to Harding University.
The Suns spotted UCA the first game 28-30 before coming back to win the next two at 30-27 and 31-29. But the Sugar Bears answered by claiming the deciding two games 20-30 and 9-15.
Erin Essink, Jamie Engel and Andrea Bailey all had double-doubles for Tech. Essink finished with 21 kills and 16 digs, Engel had 11 kills and 16 digs and Bailey wound up with 49 assists and 11 digs.
Christian Brothers took the opening game from the Lady Bisons 33-31, but it was all Harding after that 26-30, 22-30 and 19-30.
Nan Kimbrell led the Lady Bucs with 23 kills and 12 digs, while Lauren Amundson finished with 63 assists and 15 digs.
This will mark the 21st meeting between the Suns and CBU. Tech holds a 16-4 edge in the all-time volleyball series, but the Lady Bucs have won the last two matches by identical 3-0 scores.

If Grace Mah is testing the waters here, then she is obviously planning a similar run for the PAUSD BOE when the election for this gets going. We can definitely expect to see Mandarin and language issues the main topic and we must be in for the type of campaign we are not used to seeing here in Palo Alto.

Parent, right you are. And as preview to the future, as part of the democratic process, I believe once a person throws their hat into the ring for a public office position, an informed and engaged community should discuss and debate that person's qualities and qualifications for the position they are seeking:
Education Experience?
A whopping six year, SINGLE ISSUE drive at carving out a specialized enrichment program in PAUSD for an elite 5% of the student population, regardless of facility and staff resource shortages in this district, and regardless of the fact that the program is not supported by the district's or the community's priorities, and regardless of the fact that PAUSD has no elementary level world language offerings for 95% of its students today. In fact her refusal to partner with PAUSD on alternative approaches to get Mandarin into elementary schools, for example through World Language FLES programs to reach all students, but rather to stick to her vision for an elite MI model, has been rock solid.
She's been turned down on this proposal for over five years, by multiple boards, and she's steadfastly refuses time and again to take no for an answer, no matter how many PAUSD school boards turn her down. The school board and district staff has been yanked away from focus on a variety of pressing needs in order to focus, refocus, and focus again, on her program. Her latest iteration is using the charter school threat as a big stick to force the board into approving her choice program.
Dedication to Equity in Education?
Even though her program won't be able to be ethnically or socio-economically representative of the community, her program will require Mandarin testing for language proficiency for admission after first grade, will be virtually unreachable for achievement gap students, and non-Mandarin speakers after first grade, and special needs kids - she forges ahead anyway.
Champion of Transparency in Government?
She did a bang-up job of hiding the identity and number of donors that funded the MI feasibility study, steadfastly refusing to disclose the sources of funding that were lobbying the district to implement this program, raising unanswered concerns that this was a small special interest group of unknown locality, driving an unfair influence over public resources, and attempting to unduly influence PAUSD process.
Sound Process?
She was instrumental in driving the district's Federal FLAP Grant application in 2006, requesting over $750 Thousand dollars for this small program. Inventing a $2.8M per year Mandarin program that didn't exist (claiming on the application it did), eclipsing even the scope of the PACE submitted MI program proposal, a grant outline that included a high school, middle school and elementary MI, included a wildly rich technology budget, fabulous classroom support, parent education, and layers upon layers of program management and claimed in the application that the program was in implementation phase (when in fact, the MI feasibility study hadn't even been performed, and none of it had been board approved.) When questioned on the methods, she had the common sense to explain on Palo Alto Online that the community was naïve and didn't understand the grant writing strategy; you pad a grant with "Gravy" (her word) which can be used by the district on other things. Ask for more, to get as much as you want. The grant was turned down, but if approved and accepted, it would have been a an end run way to lock the district into the grant defined program, (end running the PAUSD Board of education), by creating a written commitment between PAUSD and the Federal government
What kind of qualities do we value in candidates for our local government representation - someone who looks out for the full spectrum of student needs, is a champion of transparency in government, who is committed to sound strategic thinking, and someone who really resonates with equity in education, educational fairness and quality for all students, and someone who is a risk averse fiduciary of our public resources.
Being that PAUSD is a basic aid district, Palo Altans probably also favor someone who understands the financial impacts for PAUSD of enrollment growth, facilities at capacity, and understands the limitations and risk of the basic aid school funding model - who will fight for what's right and fair and best for the 11,000 students and families in PAUSD.
Has Grace demonstrated these qualities here in Palo Alto? Has she proven herself to be an advocate of quality and equality in PAUSD?
Please write to the Santa Clara County Board of Education and Superintendent to let them know how you feel about Grace Mah's works in PAUSD.

Someone please give detailed instructions on how to write to the Santa Clara County Board of Education - and the deadliine for these letters. For those in this community that do not like these MI tactics, don't just sit there - do something, even if it means going in person to that Board meeting and saying so - enmasse.

PAUSD voter provides a good summary of Ms. Mah's track record in this school district. I've saved it in the event Parent is correct and there's a bid for PAUSD School Board on the horizon. I'd like to see further discussion of some of these points.
As to the SCCOE vacancy, I'll urge them to vote for another candidate who's track record has demonstrated a real committment to the educational needs of all the children of the community.

Rose Filicetti and Barb Spreng
If you care about the candidates, ask them about their candidacy. Even Grace.
The above list of claims again Grace certainly are the voice of a vindictive MI opponent. But there's some nice words there, too:
o Six years of working with the school board, school district staff, and community.
o Attending more board meetings regarding school facilities, priorities, budget, curriculum, AAAG, and board policy than other Palo Alto candidates.
o Relentless and tenacious about something she truly believes in, and working with the system to make it happen. Commitment to task.
o Working with organizations outside Palo Alto, learning about best practices and "war stories" to be avoided.
o Effectively fundraising for a cause, and donating to the district with no strings attached.
o Encouraging cultural diversity, attending a VTP parent meeting and some meetings sponsored by the Parent Network Supporting Students of Color, being on the International Committee and Diversity Committee of the Palo Alto YMCA Board of Directors (7 years).
o Incessantly stating that the non-Mandarin-speaking students stand to gain the most from this program, and working on demystifying the Mandarin language.
o Contributed to an effective grant application which was only half a percentage point from the cut-off of winners.
Thanks for mentioning it!

partners with IBWA to educate consumers
The International Bottled Water Association
(IBWA) and Earth911.com have formed a sponsored partnership to
encourage increased and more extensive recycling of all empty
plastic bottles.
For the next year, IBWA will sponsor Earth911.com's plastic bottle
section. IBWA's sponsorship includes contribution of research
findings, video presentations and related information to help
consumers better understand how to recycle these valuable materials.
Earth911.com hosts the nation's largest and most comprehensive
resource for consumer recycling information through its Local
Recycling and Proper Disposal Directory. The directory includes
detailed data on how and where to recycle more than 240 products
throughout 127,000 locations and programs in North America.
"Proper disposal of PET plastic bottles has become increasingly
important," said Earth911.com president Corey Lambrecht.
"The partnership will advance bottled water companies' on-going
efforts to provide effective solutions for proper, post-consumer
recycling for all plastic bottles, including empty plastic water
bottles," said Joe Doss, president and CEO of IBWA. "This new
partnership with Earth911.com gives our industry a valuable new
way to communicate to consumers and provide them with education
about the importance and effectiveness of plastic recycling,"
he said.
"According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency,
bottled water containers make up 1/3 of 1 percent of the domestic
waste stream," Doss explained, "So for an effective solution
to concerns about landfills, it is important to capture the containers
of the thousands of products packaged in plastic, including bottled
water containers, but extending far, far beyond it."

That ain't the way we do shit, im on my way to you
And you gotta love it, when I got there she start to touch it
And the pussy hole I hit the bottom of it

Republicans in the Minnesota House and Senate say Gov. Mark Dayton's plan to raise income taxes on Minnesota's top earners will encourage those wealthier Minnesotans move to states with lower taxes.
But a new report from New Jersey says higher taxes had little effect on who chose to live in the state.
Republicans and business leaders have hammered home the argument that Minnesota's top earners would leave the state if Dayton's tax plan is enacted.
"In other states where this has been attempted, people took action," said Rep. Linda Runbeck, R-Circle Pines at a recent committee hearing on Dayton's tax plan.
Dayton's proposal would increase Minnesota's top income tax rate to from 7.85 percent to 10.95 percent. Single filers who have an annual taxable income of 85,000 or more would be affected. So would couples with taxable incomes of $150,000 or more a year. Dayton also wants to add a 3 percent surtax on everyone earning $500,000 a year or more, which would leave Minnesota with the highest income tax rate in the country.
"Tax rates just don't make a big difference in ... where they're going to live."Charles Varner, Princeton University
Runbeck said other states that passed similar tax hikes, like Maryland, saw a dropoff in the number of top earners paying taxes.
"They left the state and it just didn't generate those kinds of revenues," she said.
Runbeck was pointing to a study of Maryland's so-called "millionaire's tax." Groups have argued that one-third of that state's wealthiest residents disappeared from the tax rolls after Maryland increased the income tax rate in 2008. Conservatives say wealthier residents left the state to avoid paying the tax.
An official with Maryland's Department of Revenue disagrees with those claims. He says the dropoff was more likely related to the economic downturn, and that there were fewer people earning enough money to make it into the higher tax bracket.
In New Jersey, researchers examined tax data to see whether a 2004 income tax hike on top earners had an impact on migration.
"Tax rates just don't make a big difference in what they decide to do in terms of where they're going to live," said Charles Varner of Princeton University, one of the researchers.
Varner and a colleague at Stanford University examined the tax returns of New Jersey residents between 2000 and 2007, including those who earned more than $500,000 a year and had to pay the higher tax starting in 2004. He said they found little difference in migration, based on who was paying the new higher taxes.
Two states within a short drive of New Jersey -- Connecticut and Pennsylvania -- have lower income tax rates. But Varner said the study did not find many wealthy New Jersey residents moving to those states to avoid paying higher taxes.
"At some point, people respond to tax increases, but it's hard to say for sure whether that would happen in Minnesota," Varner said. "But weighing everything together, it seems like it's probably not going to be that different than what happened in New Jersey."
Varner said two groups did leave the state in higher numbers -- rich people of retirement age and rich people who earn their incomes from investments. His research will be published in an upcoming edition of the National Tax Journal.
Democrats who support a higher rate in Minnesota will likely point to the study as a reason to counter Republican arguments against Dayton's plan. Dayton said last week that he didn't think Minnesota's top earners will leave if their taxes go up.
"I grew up with people who are fortunate with what they have been given and what they achieved. I just know people are better than that," said Dayton. "I think it's a scare tactic by the Republicans and others that someone making $1 million or $5 million should not pay a single dollar more in taxes."
Republican legislative leaders have argued that they don't need new revenue to erase the state's projected budget deficit of $6.2 billion. They are waiting for a new revenue forecast that will be released next Monday, before they release their budget plan.

CAMPUS USA Credit Union Names New CEO
The $1.15 billion CAMPUS USA Credit Union has named a new CEO.
Larry Scott, CEO of the Jonesville, Fla., credit union for 23 years will step down from the CEO position as of July 1, the credit union announced. His replacement is current COO Jerry Benton, a 14-year veteran of the credit union who previously served on the management team at Decatur EarthMover Credit Union in Illinois.
Benton will take the reins at the credit union on July 1 as well.
"We couldn't be happier with the board's decision to select Jerry as my successor, after conducting a national search. He is an excellent leader who is well respected in our industry, by our staff, and the communities we serve. He has been instrumental in our growth and success over the last 14 years. Jerry's knowledge, experience, values, and commitment to the credit union and our members will help CAMPUS build a new and exciting future, while remaining safe, strong, and secure for years to come," Scott said.
Since signing on as CAMPUS USA Credit Union's top officer in 1990, Scott has helped the credit union grow from $90 million to over $1 billion in assets, the credit union said. Under his leadership CAMPUS USA has added 11 new service centers, a 95,000-square-foot corporate headquarters building and expanded its membership charter, which now includes 12 counties throughout North Central Florida.
CAMPUS USA will celebrate its 80th year of operations in 2015.
"Larry has been a tremendous asset to CAMPUS USA Credit Union and its members. We will miss him greatly but he is leaving the credit union well‐positioned for even greater success in the future," stated Ruby P. Puckett, chair of the CAMPUS USA board.

What's the weather report from Ford Nationals?
- Details
- Published on Sunday, 16 June 2013 13:59
A Happy Father's Day!
Race results included.
NORWALK, Ohio – Hey weatherman, it's not rain. That's a Ford cloud hanging over the McCleod NMRA Ford Nationals June 14-16, 2013 at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.
We could tell because every time they prepped the track, the cloud lifted.
Ford lovers filled the Park with fabulous race cars, and their hearty, generous smokey burnouts created the cloud followed by win lights all weekend.
Was that partly to honor McCleod Clutches for sponsoring the event?
Anyway, only one smokey burnout photo turned out okay because in the other photos, all you could see was smoke: No car, no kidding!
We're grateful the lone survivor captured Phil Hines, Lebanon, Ohio in his brassy 2001 Mustang with a Ford 423 engine working the track for his AFCO Street Outlaw victory!
That heads-up pony delivered a low elapsed time of 7.301 seconds; while John Urist, Albuquerque, N.M. slammed a top speed of 195 mph in his 1993 Mustang.
Through the weekend the Edelbrock Renegade class sizzled the track every pass, trying to catch class leader Adam Arndt, Orefield, Pa., who finessed his 1988 Mustang with a Ford 310 engine to a number 1 qualifying position, a low elapsed time of 8.365 and a top speed of 163 mph.
But Adam Arndt's round one eliminations break at the starting line flipped the win to Tim Matherly, Winder, Ga., in a 2010 Mustang with a Ford 281 cu. in. engine.
In the final round, Brian Mitchell, Chadds Ford, Pa., plied his 2004 Cobra to an Edelbrock Renegade victory over Grove Scott, Albion, Ind., who seemed to take the scenic route on a Sunday afternoon in his 1984 Mustang.
The new Granatelli 5.0 L Shootout set Chris Cruz, Hammonton, N.J. in a 2011 Mustang on a chase from the tree, but Nelson Whilock, Wilmington, Del. roared away for the win in his 2013 Mustang.
Nelson Whilock logged a 0.080-second reaction time and 8.517-second elapsed time at 161 mph, compared with Chris Cruz's package at a 0.111-second reaction time, 8.862-second elapsed time and 160 mph.
Strange Coyote Stock dumped drama on the mix in the final round as number 5 qualifier Joe Marini, Clinton, Md., kicked his 2011 Mustang hard off the tree with a 0.014-second reaction time to go for a hole shot against number 1 qualifier Shane Stymeist, Waynesboro, Pa., launching a 1990 Mustang in 0.060 seconds.
But Shane Stymeist won the long run in the lanes, besting Joe Marini by 0.139 seconds for a package at 0.093 seconds faster for the Strange Coyote Stock win.
Nitto Factory Stock sifted number 1 qualifier Matt Amrine, Batavia, Ohio in a 1998 Mustang to the top, ending with a final round elapsed time gem of 10.945 seconds over 11.338 seconds by Matthew Williams, Long Branch, N.J. In a 1985 Mustang.
Celebrating 25 years of publishing, Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords magazine sponsored a first All-female True Street and an eight-car Female Quick Shootout presented by Royal Purple.
Donna Million, Manchester, Tenn. mashed a 1991 Mustang off the tree in 0.359 seconds and down the lane in 8.896 seconds at 157 mph for the win over Tracy Keller, San Antonio, Texas in a 2012 Cobra Jet with a 0.713-second reaction time, a 10.202-second elapsed time and 139 mph.
A red-light gift decided Exedy Modular Muscle, and Reggie Burnette Jr., Holly Springs, N.C., benefited from the generosity of Gary Parker, Villa Roca, Ga.
Flex-a-lite Open Comp proves anything can happen in drag racing.
Number 10 qualifier James Johnson Jr., Inkster, Mich., tooled the track in a 1992 Mustang GT with a win light in his lane on a red-light by -0.003 seconds by number 13 qualifier Woody Pack, Independence, Va. in a 1966 Mustang.
Ya gotta love Detroit Locker Truck, and Johnny Lightning's 8.55-second, 156 mph, 1999 Lightning. My little Dakota broke just thinking about it.
In the final round number 7 qualifier Steve Martin, Dorchester, Ontario, Canada hauled home the Detroit Locker Truck win on a package 0.042 seconds better than number 6 qualifier Robert Chuhran, Wixom, Mich.
Larry Firestone took care of business in Roush Super Stang, bagging the number 1 qualifying position as well as the event win.
In the final round, Larry Firestone, Leesburg, Ind. nudged his 2008 Mustang up to the line next to a 2013 Mustang of number 4 qualifier Diallo Walcott, Baltimore, Md., but the 2013 broke.
For bracket racing, Aeromotive Fast Ford pitted a 2004 LPW dragster against a 1988 Mustang. The dragster won, this time.
Ronald Mendenhall, Blistolville, Ohio presented a red-light gift at the tree by -0.011 seconds to Josh Rietschg, Indiana, Pa. in the dragster.
Aeromotive Quick Ford staged a final round between Gary Sterley, North Olmsted, Ohio in a 1989 Mustang and Terry Crippen, North Ridgeville, Ohio in a 1973 Pinto wagon. Terry Crippen broke out by 0.001 second, sticking the win light in Gary Serley's lane.
Aeromotive Street Ford lined up the final round fun with a 2003 Mach I Mustang with a Ford 281 engine against a 1984 Mustang with a Ford 351 engine. Who would you root for?
In this contest, Mark Colombini, Orient, Ohio and his Mach I lost the battle at the tree by a ten-times margin: 0.231 seconds to 0.032 seconds for Don Kinney, Scotts, Mich. and his 1984 Mustang.
At the finish line, Mark Colombini crossed on his 11.81 dial with a five; Don Kinney broke out by 0.024 second, sealing the win for Mark Colombini and the Mach I.
Aeromotive Nostalgia Ford gathered some sweet honey race cars: Mach I, Mustangs, Fairlanes and a Thunderbolt.
The final round served double trouble: Two 1966 Mustangs slammed the tree and both crossed the finish at 116 mph, deciding the contest on a double breakout.
Gary Johnson accepted the win light, breaking out by 0.002 second compared with Shane Priddy, LaCarne, Ohio, who broke out by 0.080 second.
For RACE RESULTS from the McLeod NMRA Ford Nationals June 14-16, 2013 at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio, click on: Fabulous Ford weekend!
Ford Nationals families enjoyed together time between races on Fathers' Day at Summit Motorsports Park, buying gifts and treats at the track.
Matt Keiser, Cambridge City, Ind. works as a manufacturing engineer at Autocar, in Hagerstown, Ind. Autocar builds class 8 trucks that become street sweepers and garbage trucks.
While Matt's wife, Charla Keiser, shopped at Quarter Mile Clothing Company, Matt and their son, Adam, eight, waited outside. Their family rounds out with Adam's older brother, Garrett, 12.
Matt Keiser raced a bright red 1969 Mercury Cougar in Aeromotive Quick Ford, usually notching 14.5s.
"It's a street car," Matt Keiser said. "We love coming here. We have been ford racers for a long, long time. We were so excited to come back here."
On Saturday Matt's father, Duane Keiser, Hagerstown, Ind. won the 14-second category in True Street in a bright red 1997 Mustang Cobra convertible.
"My uncle and cousin are here with me today, Melvin and Mike Moistner, from Cambridge City as well," Matt Keiser said. "Melvin and my mom are brother and sister. We live close to each other. We play together. We vacation together. These are our vacations."
Jim and Luke Lombardi, Centerburg, Ohio shared father and son time together on a bench while Luke's mom, Kathy Lombardi, shopped.
"This is kind of a first celebrating Father's Day at the races," Jim Lombardi said. "We brought her car."
On Saturday Kathy Lombardi competed in the All-female Shootout; and on Sunday, the Aeromotive Street Ford class in a blue 2001 Mustang with a 4.6 L. engine.
"I've been racing street cars for 20 years," Kathy Lombardi said, adding her home track is National Trails. "I'm here with my dad, Richard Colombini. He's racing a 2012 GT Mustang. Yesterday he was in True Street. He's bracket racing today."
"I've been racing 57 years," said Richard Colombini, Westerville, Ohio, adding he found Fathers' Day at the track enjoyable. "I love it. It's a family deal and we're all here."
In fact Richard Colombini, Kathy Lombardi, and Kathy's brother, Mark Colombini, Orient, Ohio mashed gas in Aeromotive Street Ford together, though not against each other this time.
Mark Colombini won the race in a 2003 Mach I Mustang, with his fiance, Kathy Bennett, Orient, Ohio, by his side.
As the Colombinis posed for a family portrait in front of the Throttle Town Grille, Richard Colombini called to his friend, Gary Brewer, Tampa, Fla., whose 42 years of racing most recently included a 1970 Mustang Cobra.
"He's family whether he wants to be or not," Richard Colombini said.
Norfolk and Southern family, that is.
"We worked on the railroad together," Gary Brewer said. "We were roommates for eight to 10 years. Then they moved our home terminal to Sandusky. That was too far for me, so I left. He still commuted to Sandusky.
Win or lose, fathers and sons sampled Velvet Ice Cream all weekend in search of the best flavor at a pound for a buck.
For Andrew Buffington, 8, chocolate topped the list. His dad, Kermit Buffington, 42, a diesel mechanic from Trenton, Ga. the butter pecan cashew eased a rough day in Strange Coyote Stock heads up, racing a Bimini blue 1992 Mustang.
"I red-lighted," Kermit Buffington said. "We had some problems this weekend, so we have to go back and regroup. We've only been doing this two years. We raced Factory Stock last year. We changed classes this year.
"I've raced all my life," Kermit Buffington said. "I was carried to the track when I was little like him. My brothers-in-law raced."
In the staging lanes, Geary Bates, Wintersville, Ohio lined up with Aeromotive Nostalgia Fords in a red 1967 Fairlane.
"I started racing in 1957, married in 1961. My wife, Mary Kay, put up with me for 52 years. I started back in racing in 2003," Geary Bates said. "I figured I'd spent the grandkids' inheritance. It's an itch you can never scratch.
"I own Bates Amusement, headquartered in Wintersville," Geary Bates said. "We supply amusement rides for most of the county fairs in Ohio. Now the kids are running it, so I have time to play."
The life's work started with a knack for a wrench.
Back in the '50s I worked on an old farm with a guy who did pony rides," Geary Bates said. "I was a kid with some mechanical ability. I fixed his tractors and trucks. He bought some rides.
"About 1965 I bought an amusement ride, a Rocko Plane," Geary Bates said. "By 1975 I owned it all.
"And there's plenty left for the grandkids."
A bright yellow 1955 F100 zipped the lanes in Aeromotive Street Ford with Steve Fleming behind the wheel.
"It's bone stock except for the color," said Steve Fleming, Wellington, Ohio. "My neighbor restored this back in 1982, and I couldn't let it leave the neighborhood."
Back to back race cars in Flex-a-lite Open Comp held Jon Pickering: That is, father Jon H. Pickering in a 1970 Maverick, and son Jon M. Pickering in a 1998 Mustang. Staging with them was Jon H. Pickering's wife, Louise, who not long ago raced a blue Pinto in street classes.
"I'm 75," Jon H. Pickering said. "I started when I was 16."
After his first black 1940 Ford, Jon H. Pickering worked on performance.
"The 1940 Ford had a flat head," Jon H. Pickering said. "Back then I didn't do any suping up. The one I raced the most was a 1950 Ford I raced 25 years. I had four or five engines in that.
"I've got a Maverick now, with a big block Ford 557 cu. in. engine," Jon H. Pickering said. It's purple and orange with a stripe down the side."
Staging in the same class posed the possibility of a father-son showdown on Fathers' Day.
"Well I hope not," Jon H. Pickering said. "Not 'till the finals. We've run each other in the final round before."
Dad won both times.
Among the vehicles in Detroit Locker Truck, Bob Cochran, Columbus, Ohio staged a sweet honey of an F-1 flatbed 1948 Ford, which is Ford candy apple red with a yellow grill area and orange flames on the front and varnished wood rails.
"That was the earliest truck series before F100s," Bob Cochran said. "It's a flatbed. It was originally a flatbed when it came from the factory. Of course it had a flathead motor in it when it came from the factory. Now it's got a 520 cu. in. V-8.
"I've owned it for about 45 years," Bob Cochran said. "Restored it in '85. Normally it runs 11.50s, but it's broke this weekend. The torque converter is shot. I didn't have time to get a new one, so I came anyway."
About eight years ago, Bob Cochran retired from over-the-road truck driving.
"I used to haul stuff all over the country," Bob Cochran said. "I mainly ran on the East Coast, everything east of St. Louis, driving all kinds of semis, pulled big trailers, pulled doubles. For over 35 years of driving truck, I drove just about everything. I logged over three million miles accident free."
He picked up the 1948 F-1 from a family farm in Kentucky.
"My brother, Billy, found it in a field in the early '60s. He drug it home," Bob Cochran said. "He put another motor in it. I went down and got it. Awhile later I went down to the same farm in Kentucky and got the wood. The wood is probably 100 years old on the bed."

DELTONA, Fla. - Two women told authorities they robbed a pizza delivery man because they were hungry, Volusia County deputies said.
Alvina Leiba, 19, and Tiffany Jacobs, 19, turned themselves in on Friday, three days after the May 22 robbery. The women did not steal any cash, but stole two large pizzas, some chicken wings and an apple pie -- a meal that costs about $40 -- and hid out in the woods to eat the food.
Pizza Hut delivery man Brian Healy, 19, told deputies he went to the home on South Elston Drive in Deltona just after midnight and was greeted by Leiba, who asked him to place the food on a table inside. He stood in the doorway while she searched for money, and that's when Jacobs smacked him in the head with a baseball bat, according to deputies.
Healy said he was able to wrestle the bat out of Jacobs' hands and called 911. He said he had a similar suspicious incident at the same residence at another time but didn't report it to authorities.
Jacobs told authorities she didn't mean to hurt Healy and she only wanted to scare him. She said she swung at a pole but missed and hit Healy, according to deputies.
Both women were taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail. Jacobs was charged with robbery with a deadly weapon and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Leiba was charged with robbery with a weapon.
While in the cells Leiba and Jacobs laughed about the situation, according to deputies. Leiba made the comment that she would not pay any fines and would flee to Trinidad and said she was "so hungry she would rob a McDonald's with Jacobs when they got out of jail," according to a sheriff's report.

But having a bad guy that can more or less take any humanoid form they kidnap seems like an interesting range of stories and ways to really show characters depth.

We are writing to ask why there are classifications of milk, one through five. This was set up back in the ice age, when you cut the ice off of the ponds, and the cans of milk were cooled that way.
Milk products that you buy in the store are all listed as grade A...printed on the side of the product. It doesn't matter whether it is fluid milk, sour cream, butter, cottage cheese, hard cheese, or yogurt. It is all classified as grade A. The NY State Dept. of Agriculture doesn't need to take money out of our milk check just to keep the fat cats warm or cool in their offices.
The Chicago Market Exchange, or the Boston Milk Market are not needed. They just take money from our farmers' pockets.
Thank you.

Most homeowners think that vacuuming helps to keep their homes clean. While the action may help improve the appearance of a room, it could be causing some health issues to inhabitants. A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Queensland and Laval University found that vacuums create an aerosolized dust containing harmful bacteria and mold.
Published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, the study claims that the vacuum dust carries mold and bacteria, some of which carried antibiotic resistance genes or toxin genes. This dust can be extremely irritating for infants or people with allergies or respiratory issues, and it may even be the source of unsolved medical problems.
"Our results show that although vacuum operation is typically brief, vacuum emissions can release appreciable quantities of human-derived bacteria," researcher wrote in the study. "Such emissions could potentially lead to inhalation of infectious or allergenic aerosols."
Instead of giving up vacuuming out of fear of this dust, homeowners may want to invest in a professional-grade product that will work to clear the air of a wide variety of toxins and vapors. Air purifiers like the IQAir GC MultiGas are an excellent option for those who want to breathe easy in their own home.

One pitcher's start is another's scouting report
By AJ Cassavell / MLB.com
SAN DIEGO -- Most pitchers get the scouting report for their next opponent on paper at some point before the series begins.
Padres right-hander Tyson Ross, however, typically gets his in living color within 24 hours of a start.
With fellow 26-year-old righty Andrew Cashner pitching a day ahead of Ross in the starting rotation, Ross learns plenty about what might work against his next opponent, simply by watching intently. That is what he will be doing Monday when Cashner starts against Pittsburgh.
"We're very similar," Ross said. "It gives me an opportunity to watch a similar pitcher to myself the day before me. It's a rare opportunity -- to have an advanced scouting report like that."
Both pitchers are hard-throwing right-handers with a sharp slider and a changeup used to keep hitters honest, so they are constantly learning from each other.
"I think the best interaction is teammate-to-teammate," Padres manager Bud Black said. "It really is. When you have two guys who ... can relate to each other because of velocity and because of hard-slider and because of the change, and how those all work together, I think it's great."
Padres designate O'Sullivan, recall Boxberger
SAN DIEGO -- The Padres designated right-hander Sean O'Sullivan for assignment on Monday afternoon, clearing space for fellow righty reliever Brad Boxberger to be recalled from Triple-A Tucson.
The move also opened a space on the club's 40-man roster, meaning the Padres could add a prospect, though manager Bud Black hinted that would not happen before Sept. 1, when rosters expand.
Black said the O'Sullivan decision was an especially tough one to make. The Valhalla High (El Cajon, Calif.) graduate grew up a Padres fan and signed a Minor League contract in December.
He impressed during Spring Training and had his contract selected by San Diego on July 12. In seven appearances this season, three of them starts, O'Sullivan posted a 3.96 ERA.
"He pitched his butt off in Tucson -- probably the best overall starting pitcher there for a long time," Black said. "When we brought him here, he came up and did some nice work for us.
"He was on board, a native San Diegan who grew up a Padres fan, nice guy, good on the team, all those things. So it was tough. But we just felt at this point we made a baseball decision."
Boxberger was told he would be recalled Sunday and joined the club Monday. Boxberger has made just six relief appearances for San Diego this season -- most recently June 22 against Los Angeles. He has allowed four earned runs in nine innings.
Both Black and Boxberger mentioned the word "consistency" when asked what exactly they would be looking for in Boxberger's fourth stint with the big league club this season.
"Overall, I've worked on the command of my pitches and being able to throw any pitch in any count, being able to get ahead of hitters and being able to pitch every day," Boxberger said.
Spending time back and forth between Triple-A and the Majors initially took a toll on the 25-year-old Boxberger, who had progressed evenly to the Majors -- never being sent down to a lower level.
"Bouncing up and down and not staying in one spot is a little different," he said. "It took me a little while to get used to. But once I figured out the mental side, it's a good transition."
Black wants to see Boxberger's back-and-forth journey end, saying, "Hopefully this is the time he [comes up], and he never goes back."
So how can Boxberger accomplish that?
"He's just got to get his pitches in good areas, get ahead in the count and put guys away," Black said. "He's got the weapons; there's no doubt about it. I think each time he comes back he feels more secure as a Major League pitcher."
Black: Quentin has 50-50 chance at return
SAN DIEGO -- Padres manager Bud Black put the chances of a Carlos Quentin return this season at 50-50.
The right-handed hitting left fielder, who leads the club in on-base percentage and RBIs this year, has been battling a strained right knee that landed him on the disabled list Aug. 10.
"I wish I could be more confident than that, but I think the next week we'll have a better handle on it," Black said.
Quentin is in the midst of a 10-day rest period without much activity, and if his knee barks upon his return to action, the club will almost certainly shelve him for the rest of the year.
Quentin, who has not seen game action since July 30, has played in just 82 of the club's 124 games this season, hitting .275 with 13 homers.
"It's frustrating mostly for Carlos -- he wants to play -- and obviously for us, because he's a good player," Black said. "It would be good to have him. But right now the knee's not letting him do the things he needs to do."
Worth noting
• New Padres president and CEO Mike Dee met with the team for about five minutes before Monday's game. On Tuesday afternoon, the club will hold an introductory press conference for Dee, who left his role as CEO of the Miami Dolphins to join the Padres on July 17.
• Injured outfielder Kyle Blanks did some running on the field, took batting practice and worked on outfield drills before Monday's game, and Black said Blanks might begin a rehab stint with Triple-A Tucson over the weekend. Blanks was placed on the DL with tendinitis in his left Achilles on July 12.
• Center fielder Cameron Maybin was evaluated by team doctors in San Diego on Monday, and there is a chance he will need a second opinion on the strained PCL in his left knee. Maybin was placed on the DL on June 9, and his rehab with Tucson was halted last week because of more knee pain.
• Black on the Pirates' success this season: "They've done a nice job in a lot of areas to put this group together here. Last year, they got closer with a great first half. The second half didn't quite go their way, but there's no doubt that a lot of us in smaller markets are trying to do those things."

He describes what types of difficulties local and regional authorities encounter in making headway in their work to combat sexual violence against children. He points out: "We need to see coordination between social services departments, between health authorities to make sure that there is a partnership approach and the youngsters benefit from that".

HP has
been dominating the computer market in shipments and market share for the past
few years. The company is the largest computer shipper in the world and is far
ahead of the second place company in the computer realm. In the world of HP,
that apparently equates to better than number one.
HP is trying to step into the tablet market with its new TouchPad tablet that
runs WebOS. The TouchPad was announced back in February and it sounds
interesting with a 9.7-inch screen and other goodies under the hood. Many are
wondering at this point if there is enough room in the tablet market for
another major OS.
Apple is dominating the tablet market with the iPad, but HP seems to think
there is a place for it not only at the top of the tablet market, but at a
threshold even higher.
HP's European head Eric Cador has bragged that the company will be emulating
its success in the computer market in the tablet market and that HP's TouchPad
will be "better than number one."
Cador said, "In the PC world, with fewer ways of differentiating HP's
products from our competitors, we became number one; in the tablet world we're
going to become better than number one. We call it number one plus."
For HP to release anything resembling "number one plus" it will need to draw
developers to make apps for the WebOS platform very quickly and the apps will
need to be first rate. If Android tablets have taught the tablet world anything,
it is that consumers will not buy your offerings based on boasts and name
recognition. HP has said in the past that apps that run on the web will be
easily adapted to run on WebOS as well.
Cador added, "Only one company plays in both the consumer and business and
world. We tend to talk about technologies. But the way the user is going to
look at tablets means it's about experience. The way the corporate is going to
look at it is to say that its employees, who are also consumers, have got to
like it and it's got to be secure. We're going to deliver that. Beyond that,
it's about marketing and branding."

CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy are steadily approaching full fitness as a club and the latest player to near an injury return is midifielder Kyle Nakazawa.
Nakazawa has been unavailable since June due to back spasms –which he describes as a herniated disc--, an injury that he suffered during a Reserve League match against the Vancouver Whitecaps on June 12th. After a long injury recovery, the 24-year-old winger from Torrance, Calif. has become a regular fixture at Galaxy training once again, even taking part in ball work on Thursday.
Although there is no timetable yet for the winger's return to the field, Nakazawa is pleased with his recuperation
Below are Nakazawa's thoughts on returning to full fitness...
(On his rising level of fitness…)
NAKAZAWA: "It's going well. I'm just trying to get my fitness back and since I've been out for almost two months, it's going to take a little time. I'm just trying to be patient and not get too frustrated just trying to get into game fitness again."
(On his fitness level currently…)
NAKAZAWA: "I'm pretty much back, I'm just trying to get my fitness level right. I was on the ball today and I felt pretty sharp on the ball, but I have to build on my fitness because when I get in game situations there's going to be a lot more pressure."
(On any frustrations at being out for nearly two months…)
NAKAZAWA: "No one likes to be injured and you definitely see things from a different perspective when you're injured. Sometimes when you're playing, you can take things for granted, but when you're hurt it makes you appreciate it a lot more. So I've kind of been taking the last few weeks to watch the game and get stronger mentally so I'll be stronger when I come back."


text: He would have been correct until the 1990s. But US Marines were gradually withdrawn from USN shipboard security assignments after WWII, lingering the longest aboard ships that carried strategic weapons. The deployment of tactical or strategic nukes on surface ships has been drastically scaled back now, and while there no doubt are live warheads available to select vessels at select times, the training of the manpower to have them there has been scaled back, too, so probably very few ships actually carry such "secret" weapons nowadays. Supposedly, nukes were rare strategic assets aboard the nuBSG battlestars, too, so perhaps Marine guard was warranted as standard for that reason? Perhaps lesser vessels, or battlestars armed with conventional weapons, would have been guarded by units without special status and/or less in the way of special training? Timo Saloniemi

Lion-O and Cheetara enter the 21st Century...

There are several great cartoons from the 80's that are way overdue for a comeback. Perhaps the most sought-after cartoon from that era is the Thundercats. With how well the Masters of the Universe Classics toy line is doing, fans must be wondering how much longer they will need to wait for new Thundercats figures to be made.
One particular collector, Ben Bishop, is tired of waiting and has taken matters into his own hands, literally, by making his own customized Lion-O and Cheetara action figures using MOTUC body parts. This incredibly gifted artist has even created his very own Thundercats packaging to go along with his fantastic customized creations.
These cool custom action figures give us a taste of what a Thundercats toy line from Mattel would look like if they were done in the MOTUC style. Ben did an amazing job sculpting Lion-O's hair, vest and belt. The painted details on both figures is breathtaking and incredibly precise. All the body parts on both figures were sprayed with sealant to keep the paint from chipping or flaking off when the figures are being handled or posed.
Lion-O was made mostly from a combination of MOTUC He-Man and Skeletor parts. His claw shield hand is from a Marvel Legends lab coat Beast, his feet are from a DC Universe Classics Vigilante, and his crotch is from a Marvel Select Thor, because the MOTUC crotch is very small. His hair, armor, and belt are completely sculpted from scratch. Lion-O's sword is actually a metal diecast sword from the original 80's collectible; a keychain Ben ordered from Argentina. The packaging template is from a DC Universe Classics figure.
Cheetara was made completely from a MOTUC Adora figure with a button on the front for her Thundercats badge. Her staff is simply a bamboo skewer. The outfit on Adora needed to be trimmed, and sanded down quite a bit, to look more like Cheetara's unitard. Ben also cut a little divot on the side of each of the boot cuffs. Her packaging also comes from a DC Universe Classics figure.
Ben is planning to make all the Thundercats eventually using MOTUC bodies and judging by how incredible his Lion-O and Cheetara turned out, we can't wait to see them. Lets just hope that Mattel announces the acquisition of this incredibly popular license soon so that everyone will finally have a chance to add some updated and highly articulated Thundercat figures to their toy collection.

New Fish Trap Reduces Bycatch and Increases Profits
Scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society and the Kenyan Marine and Fisheries Research Institute have achieved a milestone in Africa: they've helped build a better fish trap, one that keeps valuable fish in while letting undersized juvenile fish and non-target species out.
By modifying conventional African basket traps with escape gaps, the marine researchers have proven that the new traps catch larger fish, allow more undersized and non-target fish to escape, increase profits, and—most importantly—minimize the impact of fishing on coastal reef systems. The findings, say researchers, will help fishing communities boost profits while protecting their vital marine resources.
A paper on the experimental study appears in the current edition of Fisheries Research. The authors include E.K. Mbaru of the Coral Reef Conservation Project and the Kenyan Marine and Fisheries Research Institute; and Tim McClanahan of the Wildlife Conservation Society.
"One of the great challenges in coastal fisheries is how to reduce the levels of bycatch for reef systems where these species play important ecological roles," said Dr. Tim McClanahan, co-author of the study and head of WCS's coral reef research and conservation program. "Our modified traps have made a statistically measurable difference in minimizing bycatch for African basket traps. Such innovations can make a big difference in maintaining the ecology of vital coastal resources."
The experimental study was conducted in the fished reef systems near a marine park on the coast of Mombasa, Kenya. Importing the escape gap idea to African waters for the first time, the researchers worked with an experienced trap fisher who built six basket traps—iron-framed structures with netting and a single, tube-shaped opening leading into the middle of the trap. Half of the traps were constructed with escape gaps measuring 12 inches by an inch and a half. The escape gaps were designed to allow undersized and non-target fish to exit while retaining commercially valuable adult fish.
Once baited, the traps were deployed some 30 meters apart and between 5 and 10 meters in depth and checked once a day between October 2010 and October 2011. After 41 weeks, the researchers captured more than 1,200 fish from 64 species. The fish captured in the experimental traps were on average 31 percent longer and 55 percent heavier than fish in the regular traps without gaps (used for control data). By contrast, the regular traps had smaller fish, including the juvenile and ornamental fish important for maintaining reef ecology.

October brings out true Yankees
New York sets tone early in Division Series-opening win
By /
ANAHEIM -- So they are all "true Yankees." Whatever that connotes, they were Tuesday night, on the postseason side of a year they had spent looking worried and vulnerable. All the troubles and uncertainties -- all the ragged play -- faded into rumor. The bell rang, and the Bronx Bombers responded like rabid Pavlovian dogs. Or like the champions they have been, and intend to be again. "Well, we've been playing like this for two months now," Derek Jeter begged to differ. "We've gone through a long stretch where we had to win every day, and this is no different." We beg to differ. This wasn't Kansas City in August, or Baltimore in September. These were the Angels, in October, when their routine mistreatment of the Bombers can become exponential. So the Yankees' 4-2 victory in Game 1 of the Division Series, and the manner it was dispensed, was different and large. "This was a game we had to win. That team thinks they can win," said Reggie Jackson, who used to be Mr. October before he became Mr. Special Advisor, nodding in the direction of the Angels' clubhouse. "They think they can beat us. "So you've got to beat them here, and you've got to beat them good, because they believe." So that's what the Yankees did, beat them by playing as good and crisp as they have all year. Crisper than they had any business playing, considering the whirlwind they've ridden the last 48 hours. They floored the gas pedal to score all their runs with two out. They made dazzling defensive plays -- definitely not a trademark of this team -- all over Angel Stadium. They pitched marvelously (starter Mike Mussina) and strategically (the four relievers spotted by manager Joe Torre). The Yankees needed to play well, because so did the Angels in the most competitive of the day's three Division Series openers. The Yankees did the two things they absolutely had to in order to win: Their pitchers kept Chone Figgins off base, and their hitters jumped Bartolo Colon for a 4-0 lead by the second. "That was huge," Jeter said of the two-out rally in the first punctuated by Robinson Cano's bases-clearing double. "Colon is tough, so you know there won't be a lot of scoring."

U-nye-way-loh-nee-way: directly translates to "go to sleep now." These are the last 'words' you may ever hear. For the face of evil has returned. The sins of 1998 have finally caught up with us. You thought it had gone away… you ignorant fool. It just waited in the darkness biding its time. With new technological advances it's back and has schizophrenia – just perfect. Game over man.
Blame Hasbro for the resurrection of the Furby. Yes, the Furby. The very "toy" that got banned by the PENTAGON for being a threat to national security… will be brought back on shelves this fall. Yea, I mean, because, why would we NOT bring back something that the United States' Department of Defense had decommissioned? Isn't this the plot to like a half dozen horror movies?
The NEW Furby has very large LCD eyes they change in animation quite often. Each of these terrors comes with several 'personalities' that it can trance and change. So schizophrenia isn't one of my over exaggerations. Oh, and "evil" is one of the personalities. So that's a thing. Don't let the "innocence" personality fool you.
As far as updated technology goes, the Furby will penetrate your iOS devices with its own interactive app. You can feed the beast through digital foods to sooth its rage. It's all fun and games until you digitally / realistically feed it human flesh. From here on out it is a downward spiral. Oh, and they are physically larger than the previous Furbys; because why the hell not?
So this fall you'll be able to buy these fuzzy destroyers for $60. Or… you can choose to not damn all of humanity and join your local resistance and prepare for the revolution.
The choice is yours, mankind.

Hey all!
I'm writing a fic for the spring challenge about an aprentice to Madam Malkin. So, naturally, I need serious help with Madam Malkin's characterisation. For instance, if greeted with a "Good Morning" what would her response be? If she knew of someone's blood-traitor secrets, would she spill the beans to the parents, even at risk of the said person life? What if that person were someone close to her?
Is she even pureblood? It isn't stated in the Lexicon....but purebloods do come to her for their robes...so...would she keep the secret if it meant losing buisness if it came out?
