For decades now, I've been reviewing Buddha's Four Noble Truths while doing my daily yoga headstand. Understanding these looks easy; they are short, simple, and straightforward. Even so, I plumb deeper intuitive meaning from them as the years pass. For example, some years ago the second truth, "The illusion of self originates and manifests itself in a cleaving to things" finally sunk in — emotionally! While I've always understood this intellectually, I never felt it 'in my bones' until then. All at once I viscerally understood — knew — that everything I held to be important in life was also propping up my "illusion of self" – ego. It appears that there is 'understanding', and then there is understanding.
I've always felt that Buddha's Four Noble Truths and the core teachings of all religions offered enough life guidance to 'chew on'. Having actions speak louder than words is the challenge of a lifetime. Yet millions of words are written and spoken on core teachings. I see this as symptomatic of our lack of visceral understanding — intuitive knowing. Because we can't walk the walk, we talk the talk even more. I suppose this is true of most everything spoken or written. We are attempting to convince and remind ourselves. I know I am!
Does this mean my writing is symptomatic of my lack of visceral understanding? Perhaps, for the odd thing is that we don't know that we lack visceral understanding until we experience visceral understanding. Such epiphanies illuminate what we only think we know. It could all be a house of mirrors, one 'revelation' replacing another until the brain drops dead. That fits the biological model of the hunter-gatherer: nature drives us to keep looking for something to 'chew on'. What's more, gossiping about our most recent 'revelation' is an essential and natural way for humans to interact socially.
I must add that seeing symptoms doesn't actually illuminate true causes. Seeing matters as simply symptomatic of 'something deeper' tells us that there is more here than meets the eye… and perhaps the visceral realm as well.

So who let the dogs out? Did you notice how the Income tax department jumped to do their master's bidding the day Tharoor was accused of doing a few underhand things to get his pals the IPl franchise? Will the government call off the I-T guys, now that Tharoor has quit and Modi is also being sidelined? I don't think so.
Looks like the BCCI and IPL will have to pay a heavy price for unwittingly getting involved in a sordid game of knots and crosses between a few powerful politicians, who have their own agenda. And the media is busy publishing stories planted by 'interested' parties, while going around in circles, like a dog chasing its own tail.
Let's face it, Tharoor presented his head to his critics on a platter. The Congress claims they heard him out and would obviously like us to believe that they didn't believe him. Is that really the truth? Has the Congress edged him out just to keep some regional politicians quiet, while they plan their next move?
This whole Tharoor issue, seems to me, a case of inflated egos and attempts at one-upmanship between two or three powerful politicians, all hell-bent on hurting each other's interests, because one decides the other is now expendable. So word gets around that such a plan is being hatched and some politicians decided to scuttle it.
Mark my words, but six months from now, will emerge the news that Tharoor was as a clean as a whistle, because by then the political drama would have reached its logical conclusion. So they'll say he recommended his girl friend for a place on the Kochi franchise. So big deal? Why did Lalit Modi accept? After all, he struts around with the pompous sounding title of 'Commissioner.' Why didn't he just tell Tharoor to pipe down, or tell his erstwhile boss Sharad Pawar to lean on him?
Doesn't it seem strange that Sharad Pawar is backing Modi, when in reality he should have been supporting an MP, who is a member of his alliance partner? What's the guarantee that some smart politician didn't offer pay the moon to move the IPL out of Kochi to a city of his choice, Ahmedabad, Kanpur… wherever, because of his business interests there.
I think for Modi and the BCCI, their woes are just beginning. Something tell me they will be taught a lesson. They're going to be brought to their knees, made examples of, because someone in power wants to teach someone else a lesson. Either that or the powers-that-be will call a truce, kiss and make up, and completely ignore the collateral damage, their little ego battle has caused – the reputation of Indian cricket. That's politics, and you still think it's cricket?

In response to the Daily Prompt Say Your Name, where we are asked "Write about your first name: Are you named after someone or something? Are there any stories or associations attached to it? If you had the choice, would you rename yourself?"
I am the baby of the family.
My brother was born first, and given every passed down name you could possibly get. First name after my dad (Stefan), and two middle names after both grandfathers (Andrew and David).
Then came my sister Wendy. I don't know the origin of her name, perhaps Peter Pan, but her middle name is Maria after my father's mother.
Then came sister Judy. My mom wanted to name her Tracy, but my father said no. "Wendy ends in a "y" and Tracy ends in a "y," let's come up with something different."
And just like that my sister went unnamed for days and days. They just couldn't decide on a name. When they were getting ready to leave the hospital, they had to pick something. My mom said the name "Judy" was written in at the bottom of one of the baby name lists, and they decided upon that.
Which we all find hysterical because it ends in a "y."
My mom always told me that when they were expecting me, she told my dad "If it's a girl, I get to name her Tracy. If it's a boy, we'll name him Adam." But when I entered this world in December of 1964, my father's mother was dying of cancer. He wanted to name me Mary.
Mary? I'm not a Mary. I know in song that Mary's a Grand Old Name, but it just doesn't fit me. Thankfully my mom fought, and won the fight. She finally got her daughter Tracy.
I like my name. It's not too average, but it's not far out either. And it's spelled correctly. No "e" or "ie" – just T-r-a-c-y. I couldn't imagine changing it. I wouldn't feel comfortable with any other name. I mean, my mom had to fight for my name. How could I think of changing it?
Plus, there's this groovy song written about me. How could I give that up?

Human Target
What people are saying
"Writer and executive producer Jonathan E. Steinberg does an admirable job preserving the smart-mouth humor and ker-pow, splat fun while creating story lines and characters grounded in the alpha-male charm that made guys like Pierce Brosnan, Bruce Willis and Robert Conrad so popular." Los Angeles Times (Mary McNamara)
"Whatever the case, it's a blast to watch Valley's character squirm his way out of a major mess, while keeping his droll sense of humor intact. Human Target never will be a big-time Emmy magnet, but as a piece of good, escapist fun, it definitely hits the mark." San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa Times (Chuck Barney)
"It's a somewhat old-fashioned and pretty kick-ass hour of TV, with great action sequences in the first two episodes and, probably more important, well-turned performances by its three regulars: Mark Valley, Chi McBride and Jackie Earle Haley." Zap2it (Inside the Box) (Rick Porter)
"The escapism is sky high. Valley remains as charismatic as ever, with McBride's disdainful asides and Haley's chilly creepiness intact. It would be unfortunate if Human Target somehow got soapy or dumber, because good popcorn is rare." The Hollywood Reporter (Tim Goodman)
"In that way, he's not unlike the super-competent Michael Westen from "Burn Notice," and "Human Target" has the same fun, retro-chic vibe as that USA series. But because it's on a broadcast network, the show works on a broader scale." Newark Star-Ledger (Alan Sepinwall)
"The interplay of the sexes has been used to better effect on other action vehicles--including FX's animated Archer--but the actresses lighten the tone, adding zip to a show that thrives on speed. [29 Nov 2010. p.42]" People Weekly (Tom Gliatto)

Covert AffairsUSA | 2010 - present | Action, Crime, Drama, Thriller, Mystery"The pilot rumbles forward on crisp action and light-hearted humor, while hinting at higher stakes that offer room for narrative growth. While easily dismissed as another "Alias" (like Jennifer Garner, Perabo can do wonderful things to a simple skirt and heels), the show also makes clever use of Walker's newbie status." Variety (Brian Lowry)
In Plain SightUSA | 2008 - 2012 | Crime, Drama, Mystery, Thriller"The plot and subplots of the premiere eventually deteriorate into pandemonium, but McCormack remains the steadying center that makes the show intelligible and, more important, involving.

Momentum Builds for Statewide Government Transparency as OhioCheckbook.com Surpasses 235,000 Searches in the First Six Months
Press Release - Ohio Treasurer's Office
SANDUSKY – Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel announced partnerships between the Ohio Treasurer's office and Erie County and the City of Sandusky today to place their spending online at OhioCheckbook.com. Last year, Treasurer Mandel launched OhioCheckbook.com, which sets a new national standard for government transparency and for the first time in Ohio history puts all state spending information on the internet. OhioCheckbook.com recently earned Ohio the number one ranking in the country for government transparency.
Treasurer Mandel announced the partnerships at a meeting of the Firelands Regulatory Economic Development Steering Committee in Sandusky today and presented an interactive demonstration of OhioCheckbook.com to attendees. Treasurer Mandel was joined at today's announcement by Erie County Auditor Rick Jeffrey, Erie County GIS Coordinator Mark Wromblewski, Sandusky Finance Director Hank Solowiej, Sandusky City Commissioner Richard Brady and Sandusky County Manager Eric Wobser. Erie County and the City of Sandusky are the first local governments in Erie County to announce a partnership with the Treasurer's office to place their spending online.
On April 7th, Treasurer Mandel sent a letter to 18,062 local government and school officials representing 3,962 local governments throughout the state calling on them to place their checkbook level data on OhioCheckbook.com and extending an invitation to partner with his office at no cost to local governments. These local governments include cities, counties, townships, schools, library districts and other special districts.
"I believe the people of Erie County have a right to know how their tax money is being spent and I applaud local leaders here for partnering with the Treasurer's office to post their finances on OhioCheckbook.com," said Treasurer Mandel. "My vision is to create an army of citizen watchdogs who are empowered to hold public officials accountable."
"Open and transparent has been an important part of my term in office, as evidenced by the Erie County Auditor's website and this is just one more important step down that path." said Erie County GIS Coordinator Mark Wromblewski.
"One important goal of my tenure in the Erie County Auditor's Office is to be open, transparent and accountable to the taxpayers of Erie County, as evidenced by the enhancements to the Erie County Auditor's website," said Erie County Auditor Rick Jeffrey. "We are proud of the strides we have made to date. We are excited to participate and partner with the Ohio Treasurer of State's Office on the OhioCheckbook.com initiative, as we view this as one more important step down the path of leading the way to an open, transparent and accountable Office."
"The City of Sandusky is excited to be part of the OhioCheckbook.com initiative offered by State Treasurer Josh Mandel," said Sandusky Finance Director Hank Solowiej. "This will make it very easy for us to share information with our residents and increases our government transparency. We are proud to be a leader in this initiative."
"The City of Sandusky is excited to be part of Treasurer Mandel's effort to make government more transparent and accountable to our residents," said Sandusky City Commissioner Richard Brady. "On the state level this program is an example of government taking their responsibility seriously while leading by example. I believe that local governments have the obligation to follow this lead and join in this effort. As elected officials we are charged with being good stewards of the taxpayers' dollars. This program provides the window for our residents to both better understand how their tax dollars are put to work for them as well as rekindle trust in government."
A large coalition of statewide and local government organizations have expressed support for OhioCheckbook.com and local government transparency, including:
OhioCheckbook.com was launched on December 2, 2014, marking the first time in Ohio history when citizens could actually see every expenditure in state government. Since its launch, OhioCheckbook.com has received overwhelming support from newspapers and groups across the state and, as of June 16, 2015, there have been more than 235,000 total searches on the site.
OhioCheckbook.com displays more than $408 billion in spending over the past seven years, including more than 112 million transactions. The website includes cutting-edge features such as:
In March, the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (U.S. PIRG) released their annual "Following the Money 2015" report and Treasurer Mandel earned Ohio the number one transparency ranking in the country for providing online access to government spending data. Ohio was prominently featured in the report after climbing from 46th to 1st in spending transparency as a result of Treasurer Mandel's release of OhioCheckbook.com. Due to the launch of OhioCheckbook.com, Ohio received a perfect score of 100 points this year – the highest score in the history of the U.S. PIRG transparency rankings.
The Treasurer's office is partnering with OpenGov, a leading Silicon Valley government technology company, to provide residents of Ohio the ability to view and search local government expenditures in a user-friendly, digital format. "Ohio is setting the standard for financial transparency on an unprecedented scale. We are excited to partner with the Treasurer's office to bring world-class technology to communities large and small across the state," said Zachary Bookman, CEO of OpenGov.

On Sunday, August 24, 2008, IESB.net reported that Michael Keaton will be providing the voice of Ken in the upcoming computer-animated sequel Toy Story 3. Keaton, who previously provided voiceover work for the character Chick Hicks in Cars, will play Barbie's longtime boyfriend opposite actress Jodi Benson, who played Ariel in The Little Mermaid as well as Barbie in Toy Story 2.
According to a synopsis given to The Wall Street Journal earlier this year, Toy Story 3 follows "Woody the cowboy and his toy-box friends" as they are "dumped in a day-care center after their owner, Andy, leaves for college." No word on exactly what role Ken and Barbie will play in the hijinks, but Benson confirmed to IESB that "Barbie and Ken do not kiss...but they do embrace," reassuring audiences everywhere that the film will not have an R rating as was initially feared.
Stay tuned to IGN for more news and updates about Toy Story 3 and all of your favorite upcoming movie, TV and gaming projects!

Just one practice removed from a Saturday scrimmage in which they dominated, Florida's defense had its worst performance of the spring Wednesday afternoon. Other than a few bright moments in the secondary, it was an inconsistent day and the defense paid for it with a long session of up-downs after practice.
DEFENSIVE LINE: Jaye Howard continued his strong play this spring, recording a sack and stuffing the run game between the tackles. The offense only succeeded to run the ball consistency when they ran outside of the tackle. This was in large part because of the play by the interior defensive linemen, led by Howard.
Duke Lemmens and Justin Trattou have been the first team defensive ends all spring, and neither has made a tremendous impression. The pass rush is going to be an issue this fall unless a freshman like Ronald Powell steps in and makes a difference from day one.
LINEBACKERS: While the play of the interior defensive line forced running plays to go outside, the outside linebackers were there to track them down. The only player they struggled to tackle was Chris Rainey, whose combination of speed and moves was too much for the linebackers to handle. Rainey also gave the linebackers fits in coverage from the slot.
The first team linebackers were A.J. Jones and Brandon Hicks on the outside with Jelani Jenkins in the middle.
The most impressive linebacker of the day was Jon Bostic with the second team. He had a good day in stopping the run up the middle, making a few big hits on Mike Gillislee. The offense later tried a running play where Gillislee tried to get to the sideline, but Bostic chased him down and beat him to the sideline.
Bostic also had the hit of the day on an inside shovel pass to Gerald Christian, the same pass Florida used to run inside to Aaron Hernandez last season. Bostic met Christian at the one-yard line and sent him backwards to keep him out of the end zone.
Don't look into Bostic playing with the second team. Linebackers coach D.J. Durkin told us after practice they are toying around with guys in different positions to see how they perform.
Dee Finley was at practice but wasn't dressed out to participate.
CORNERBACKS: Janoris Jenkins had two interceptions in seven-on-seven, both coming as he jumped a shorter route and took it the other way. On one return, Coach Meyer stepped in front of him as to try for a tackle, and then Jenkins dropped the ball at his feet. Meyer picked up the ball with a smile and threw it at Jenkins as he went back to his position.
Jenkins looks leaner this spring and his speed looks improved because of it.
Adrian Bushell was at practice for the second straight day, but he was just in shorts and didn't participate.
SAFETIES: Jordan Haden made his first big play of the spring when he intercepted John Brantley during seven-on-seven drills.
Ahmad Black should have had an interception, but it hit him in the hands and fell out.
Matt Elam continues to put himself in the right position on most plays. He picked a good day to show off because his brother, Cleveland Browns safety Abram Elam, was in attendance Wednesday. Abram spent most of his time talking with Coach Meyer during practice.

Ouch! Ariana Grande's Ex's Twin Calls Her a "Stupid ***" on Twitter
It was the day Nariana shippers had been waiting for — Ariana Grande and Nathan Sykes confirmed their relationship! But, apparently, not everyone's in support of the "Almost is Never Enough"-crooning couple…
Just hours after the two went public to their fans/the entire world on Twitter, Ari's ex's twin, Luke Brooks, took to his own account and made a couple public statements of his own, clearly not in favor of brother Jai Brooks' old flame and her new beau (which is strange because The Janoskians came out to support the "Baby I" singer on her last Listening Sessions tour night earlier this month after Jai and Ariana split).
Luke writes:
Mhhhhmmmm ehhh Nahhhhriana
— Luke Brooks (@luke_brooks) September 24, 2013
And, just in case that wasn't clear enough:
Who remembers the advice I gave once? 'Don't be a stupid ho'
— Luke Brooks (@luke_brooks) September 24, 2013
However, dedicated Arianators stood by their idol, hitting back at Luke. @godriana even said, "the stupid ho that gave your 'band' half the fame you have today."
Do you support Nariana? What do you think of Luke's comments? Tell us your honest opinions in the comments below. We wanna know!

Peter S. Dawe opened his third and final cinema in Bridgeport as Dawe's Theatre in 1921. He took over the Bijou in 1910 and built the Palace in 1912 on the city's east side. But the theatre carrying his name was sold and became the Cameo Theatre in 1924. On September 19, 1925, it became Warners' Cameo as part of the Warner Brothers Circuit. Warner would change the theater to the Warner Theatre. An explosion on April 12, 1963 during "Prince of Peace" closed the theater for a few days but just weeks later it would close for good going out with ""The Last Sunset" on June 2, 1963. Demolition occurred February 1964.
Bridgeport should still have the Warner!
What a pity that so many theaters have disappeared over the years taking with them a means of great movies and now nothing to show for the good old days-how pitiful. FROM RICH SATTANNI/AUTHOR/BPT CT.RESIDENT
I remember seeing the first LONE RANGER movie at the WARNER THEATER.PITY US we lost a great center of entertainment.
comments from RICH SATTANNI/FREELANCEWRITER/BPT.CT.
I remember seeing "The Ten Commandments" at the Warner-had to sit in the balcony it was so crowded. Also, for a Vincent Price thriller they strung a line from the balcony down to the orchestra with a skeleton moving up and down!
One of the last movies I saw there was "It Happened in Naples", with Clark Gable and Sophia Loren.
Any photos?
This was in the Bridgeport Telegram on 5/30/63:
Theater Sold by Warner
The Redevelopment agency announced yesterday it has acquired the Warner theater building, 343 State Street just east of Lafayette Street, in the "core" area of the State street urban renewal project. A deed on file In the town clerk's office listed the purchase
price at $160,000. James H. Tobin, manager of the theater (and also of the Merritt theater on upper Main Street) said the Warner will close its doors after the final film presentation on Sunday night. A co-feature of the presentation is "The Last Sunset."
Personal equipment, such as projectors, sound equipment and office furnishings, will be removed from the Warner theater within a month after the closing on Sunday, it was indicated. Purchase of the Warner theater, announced by Redevelopment Coordinator Joseph M. Dearborn, was made from the Connecticut Theatrical corporation, formerly the Warner Brothers Theaters, Inc.
The seating capacity was listed in the Film Daily Yearbooks;1941 & 1943 editions as 1,415. They also list it as being operated by Warner Bros. Circuit Management Corp., as was the Merritt Theatre in Bridgeport.
Opened 17 August 1938 and the architect was John Eberson.
There was an ad for Warner-Merritt in the 11/18/47 edition of the Bridgeport Telegram. The feature was "That Hagen Girl", a creepy film starring Ronald Reagan and Shirley Temple. At the end of the movie, you can't figure out if Ron is her father or her boyfriend.
I should mention that, through most of the fifties, the "WARNER" was tied in with the "MERRITT" on Main street in the North End, both showing the same double-bills.
One of the best days I ever spent as a kid was attending a double feature here of "Journey To The Center Of The Earth" with "The Lost World", then spending the rest of the day at Pleasure Beach. What more could a kid ask for?

Pricing FAQ
- How does server app pricing work?
Server products and apps are hosted on your servers. This app is sold as a perpetual license, and the purchase price includes 12 months of maintenance (support and version updates).
You can renew maintenance after 12 months at 50% of the current purchase price. You can upgrade the tier of your Atlassian product and app licenses at any time. Upgrade prices are calculated based on Atlassian's formula (view example).
If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.
- How do I determine my server pricing?
Apps are billed based on the number of users in your Atlassian product. The app tier should match the licensed user tier of the Atlassian product. For example, if you have a Confluence license for 500 users, you should purchase the 500-user tier for apps. Even if fewer users want to use the app than your Atlassian product license, the two licenses should match exactly.
- Can I install this app in a Data Center product?
This app does not have a a Data Center approved version. Only apps meeting a set of performance requirements for large, clustered environments are approved for Data Center.
However, while server apps are built for single-server deployments, many customers successfully install them in Data Center products. If you're using a Data Center product, Atlassian recommends you contact the vendor to determine compatibility at scale.
Learn more about Data Center approved apps
- What type of license do I need if I'm using this app in a Data Center product?
Because this app does not have a Data Center approved version, you should purchase a Server license if you decide to install this app in a Data Center product.
Learn more about Data Center licensing
- Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses for server apps?
For server apps, academic licenses are available at a 50% discount if you have an academic license for your Atlassian product.
Community and open-source licenses are available for server apps. Learn more about community and open source licenses.
- Can I extend my free trial?
For server apps, you can extend your app trial up to 5 times - in other words, for up to six months. Extend your trial by generating a new evaluation license key from Atlassian Marketplace. Click Try it free and you'll be directed to generate a new license. Paste this license key into the app listing in UPM from your Atlassian product, and you're all set.
- How can I buy apps for my legacy Jira Server or Confluence Server license?
If you own a legacy Jira Server Unlimited (100+ users) or Confluence Server Unlimited (2000+ users) license purchased in 2012 or earlier, legacy app pricing is no longer available. You have two options for app purchasing:
- Purchase the app at the non-legacy Unlimited (10000+ users) tier.
- Renew your Jira or Confluence license at a non-legacy tier, then purchase the app at the same tier.

Every week I make it a point to add fresh produce to my fridge and pantry. I love discovering new farmers' markets and returning to visit ones that I've loved in the past. Today I drove out to Waimea Valley for the Haleiwa Farmers' Market, held every Thursday from 3-7pm. This is not my first time at this market, and I love returning to it – on an empty stomach – so that I can fulfill my weekly vegetable shopping list and grab a savory lunch or sweet snack while I'm at it. The vendors are kind and engaged, the produce fresh and salivating-delicious, and the locally prepared jams, dressings and spices make every meal a unique treat.
I love this market. For one thing, it's situated in a gorgeous grotto of indigenous and endemic plant life and occasionally over the thrum of live music you will hear a wild rooster calling. Since the weather here is prone to "liquid sunshine", the covered patio and porches that house the market are ideal for a peaceful, browsing atmosphere where you can graze and sample the local fare at your leisure without worrying about those pesky storm clouds overhead. And for those of you who like to plan ahead, there are both covered and outdoor seating areas to dine on the vendors' fare or bring a packed lunch of your own. Public restrooms also make this a convenient stop on any North Shore tour.
The welcome center, which hosts the farmers' market, is the entry to the Waimea Valley park where hiking trails, running rivers, and cultural displays can engage all ages. You are also steps away from the ocean and some of the most famous surfing beaches in the world.
Today I really just wanted to pop-in to take some photographs of the market. But, as usual, I ended up shopping for anything that caught my fancy. I walked out with a custom necklace order for my best friend's Christmas present, a packaged sampler of locally made salts and seasonings for a Secret Santa present, a bottle of local lilikoi preserves (passion fruit) for a stocking stuffer, and a bottle of seaweed-salted salad dressing (for my own fridge) that is one of the most delicious, creamy dressings I have ever tried. What technically left with me, but was already in my belly, included a freshly made chicken and goat cheese crepe with walnuts, local honey and fresh spinach leaves and two halves of a mango and an apple turnover (I had to bring something back for my husband…). On previous visits, I've had a gourmet ice-cream sandwich, sugar cane juice, lemon-iced tea and various other desserts and savories. Everything is declines and satisfying.
If you are visiting, I highly recommend bringing your own basket or reusable shopping bag (remember this place is known for local, organic and green products, so show your support!), but most vendors will provide you with a plastic shopping bag upon purchase. Most vendors do accept major credit cards, but have some cash on hand. I recommend coming with an empty stomach and grazing your way through the vendor stations, but if you are trying to stick to a budget, perhaps try and limit your straying eyes to just the local produce stands. It is an open air, but covered market, so sunblock isn't necessary unless you plan on taking a rest on one of the various park benches throughout the property's lush landscape.

2015 was a weird year. I'll say that up front. It's been weird, and long, and ridiculous, but it's also been, on the whole, a good year.
I went from being engaged to being, well, not, and have spent the last 11 months of my life figuring out what it means for my life moving forward. To be honest, that's still nebulous, and I feel like it probably will be for awhile. I'm okay with this, though. My relationship was very much what I needed at the time, and I don't regret a day of it.
I graduated from college in May, which was more of an accomplishment than it probably should've been for all the physical and mental health complications that have arisen over the past few years.
I got into graduate school in Boston, at the premier school in the country for my program, despite all my set backs and, really, my failings, proving that there really is more to a student's worth than her GPA.
I moved to Boston in June, with no idea what I was stepping into. I was graciously housed by my cousins (my grandmother's first cousins, so whatever that makes them for me), who really saved my life in more ways than one, and have been more than helpful in this new stage of my life.
I finally got to go to Warped Tour, after 10 years of failed attempts. I went to a handful of other brilliant shows, discovered at least a dozen (if not two) amazing artists, and discovered that Spotify isn't anywhere near as obnoxious as it used to be.
I moved into an apartment with three girls I had never met, terrified that it was going to be a disaster, and was instead pleasantly surprised.
I got a REAL job, a "Big Girl" job, as they say, working as a content curator for TripAdvisor, which has been invaluable and amazing, and brought me into contact with a couple dozen really interesting individuals whom I'd otherwise never have known.
And I survived my first semester of graduate school. Despite the chaos, the madness, the stress, and the sleep deprivation, I made it through intact and, actually?, happy.

Any organization that sells a tangible item knows that balancing supply and demand is critical to business profitability. But with rapidly changing inventory levels and unpredictable consumer demand, striking the right balance is tricky. And wading through rows and rows of numbers in unwieldy spreadsheets doesn't make it easy to spot trends and adjust supply as necessary.
That's why smart businesses are turning to visual analytics solutions. With visual analytics, you tap into real-time data, giving you the ability to see how market conditions are changing so you can respond accordingly.
A robust visual analytics solution can be embedded directly into your supply chain processes and systems. It won't be locked away in a separate business intelligence system, meaning you're more likely to use the solution—and more use leads to better insights. Plus, each user can customize the visual analytics solution to their specific needs and filter the data to find exactly what they're looking for.
Balance Supply with Demand
A visual analytics solution allows you take supply and demand information and convert it into data visualizations that all team members can understand at a glance. For example, you can quickly compare available units—your supply—with products on order—the demand.
Best of all, you can integrate data from your entire supply chain to take into account information from suppliers and vendors around the globe. And once you notice a mismatch between supply and demand, you can take steps to rectify the issue by reallocating resources. In other words, if demand for yellow shirts is far outstripping demand for blue shirts, you can simply reconfigure your order when it's time to restock. You can also alert the manufacturer that yellow shirts are trending, so it's time to bump up production.
Forecast Future Demand
By using real-time data with your visual analytics solution, you can analyze current and historical buying patterns to develop more accurate demand forecasts. By plotting your forecast by month and comparing the forecast numbers with actual demand, you'll have a better idea of how much inventory you need to carry going forward.
If you see that your forecasts historically exceed demand, you can use that information to make more accurate predictions in the future. And if supply outpaces your forecasts in certain months, then you can ramp up production during those times.
Understand Sales Trends
By analyzing supply and demand, you can understand how your forecasts match up with actual orders and begin to develop insights into sales trends. Those insights will then assist you with better demand planning. If, for instance, you see a consistent spike in sales for a particular product in the fourth quarter, you can use your average production time to calculate when you need to ramp up production in order to meet that increased demand.
Best Practices for Supply Chain Analytics
The right visual analytics solution gives you—and everyone in your organization—always-on access to relevant data that you can customize and filter to meet your needs. That way, you can create easily shareable data visualizations, without burdening your IT department.
At iCharts, we've developed pre-built interactive dashboards that have been proven to optimize supply chains. Our iCharts | Cloud Enterprise customers can access these dashboards as a standalone product or integrated within leading ERP, SCM and CRM systems, including NetSuite and Salesforce.
Ready to use visual analytics to balance supply with demand, forecast demand more accurately, and develop insights into sales trends?

British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher returned from a short US visit Thursday to face a storm of criticism after admitting an error of judgment in failing to deter Argentina from seizing the Falkland Islands.
Critics pounced on a letter she signed two months before Argentina attacked the islands. The letter was sent to a member of the Conservative Party who had questioned the wisdom of withdrawing the icebreaker Endurance, the only British ship on duty near the Falklands. Mrs. Thatcher replied that the 75-man marine garrison permanently stationed on the islands was sufficient deterrent against any aggression. The letter was made public while Mrs. Thatcher was in the United States.

The Enforcer
NOOK Book(eBook - Original)
Professional. Powerful. Thoroughly male…
That was psychologist Claire Lamont's first thought when she met her bodyguard, the agent charged with keeping her from a rogue operative's bullet. And as much as she feared death, she soon faced an even scarier predicament: walking away from a man she couldn't tear her eyes off of.
Bodyguard Brent Young was considered one of the best, and he vowed to use every ounce of his FBI training to help Claire. His enticing ward prodded him, unleashing his secret desires. The longer he kept her secluded at a remote cabin, the more sizzling the tension grew. Before long, the chances of remaining professional became a thing of the past…as did their chances of staying alive.

About the Author
Read an Excerpt
"What do you mean, he's escaped?"
Dr. Claire Lamont gripped her cell phone tighter and stared out her kitchen window at the slashing rain. Two days ago, she had sent FBI agent Andy Forrester to Ridsdale Psychiatric Hospital for evaluation. Now he was out?
Gene Welland, her contact at the Bureau's Cincinnati office, said, "At eight o'clock Forrester was in his room, an hour later he was gone."
The explanation didn't make sense to her. Not with the state-of-the-art security measures at the facility. "How could that happen?"
"We think he had inside help."
"You suspect Ridsdale staff?" she asked, pacing between the wall oven and the granite-topped island. "Or someone within the Bureau?"
"Too soon to point a finger," Gene said, clearly in no mood to speculate. "I'm calling because a nurse at the hospital reported he threatened to kill you."
Dread twisted in her stomach. Her gaze darted to the patio door. One forceful blow would smash the glass, then Forrester could slip a hand inside, twist the lock and—
She stopped pacing. Exhaled a deep breath. A long day of interviews and flight delays had set her on edge. "Forrester probably lashed out at me without meaning it."
Or maybe he did mean it. Maybe he was in such a rage about her confining him to Ridsdale that he'd try to harm her.
She resumed pacing, her mouth dry, her palms sweating. Thunder rumbled in the distance and a streak of lightning sliced through the sky.
"I'm not taking any chances," Gene said. "In fact, I've already sent an agent to pick you up, so get ready to leave."
"I'm just back from Minneapolis. My luggage is still in my front hall."
"Then you'll be set to go when our guy gets there."
What if her enraged patient showed up first?
"I have a better idea," she said. "You know the coffee shop where we met last month?"
"Java Heaven?"
"That's it. I'll meet him there."
After a short silence, Gene relented. "Okay, Lisa is calling Brent to redirect him to that location."
Brent? As in Brent don't-waste-my-time Young?
Please let there be another agent in the Cincinnati office with the same first name.
"Who are we talking about?" she asked.
"Brent Young."
Damn. That was the field agent she'd met several weeks earlier when Gene had asked her to talk to his team after the shooting death of a colleague, Pete Sanderson. No degree in psychology was necessary to interpret Young's slouched posture, guarded expression or impatient tapping of his foot. Obviously, he viewed her presentation about counseling options as useless and had only shown up because he'd been ordered to.
Young's disdain for counseling hadn't surprised her. What had surprised her was the surge of attraction she'd felt for him. With his linebacker shoulders, coal-black hair and cheekbones that hinted at a Native American ancestor, he looked like a hard-core renegade. But there had been something appealing about his smile—which he'd let loose a few times in response to his colleagues' wisecracks. Against all logic, she wished her remarks had elicited the same response.
The wind rattled the panes of glass. The storm was getting worse.
"You can count on Brent to protect you," Gene said, correctly interpreting her silence as a lack of enthusiasm for her escort.
The overhead light went out, plunging the room into darkness. "Oh no," she muttered.
"What's wrong?"
"The storm just killed the power." She lifted her free hand, but she couldn't see it—or anything else.
"Check outside," Gene said, his tone urgent. "See if the streetlights are on."
Hadn't he been listening to her? No power meant no streetlights. Unless—
Understanding dawned on her, followed by a stab of fear. Unless somebody had cut the power to her house.
Still holding her cell phone, she rushed to the window. After what seemed like an eternity, her shaking fingers forced apart two slats of the horizontal blinds.
"The whole neighborhood's dark," she said, relief making her voice thin and breathless.
"Go to Java Heaven. Call me when you get there."
Pocketing her phone, she stared into the surrounding darkness. Collecting her luggage and shoes would be a lot easier if she had even a glimmer of light. She headed into the hall, where she kept a flashlight in a maple cabinet. As her outstretched hands made contact with the wood, the basement stairs creaked. She froze, listening for more creaks. The only sounds were the ones made by the storm driving rain against the windows and the pounding of her heart.
She retrieved the flashlight, walked two steps. Stopped and listened again. Nothing.
The knotted muscles in her shoulders relaxed, and she nearly laughed. Gene's call had made her jumpy. She was alone in her home. Of course, she was alone.
No creak this time. A soft rustle. The shifting of clothes. Someone was in the hall.
Fear shot through her. She bolted for the front door.
When a deep baritone ordered, "Stop," she whirled around and smashed the flashlight into the source of that voice.
His surprised yelp was extremely satisfying. She swung the flashlight again but didn't connect this time. Instead, a muscled forearm shoved her backward. She fell hard against the wall, crying out as her right shoulder absorbed the brunt of the impact.
The flashlight bumped against the door frame.
Oh God, let the batteries work.
She depressed the switch. A brilliant beam erupted from the cylinder, and she directed it at his face, hoping to blind him. But the circle of light revealed he had his head tipped back and his hand over his nose. Blood streamed down his clean-shaven face.
Forrester had a beard.
"Nice work, doc. You damn near broke my nose."
Anxiety must have dulled her senses earlier because this time she recognized his voice. The man dripping blood all over her front hall was Brent Young, not the mentally unstable agent who'd threatened her.
She sagged against the wall in relief.
"Don't you dare faint on me," he said. "If anybody deserves to pass out, it's me. I got knifed by a junkie last year, and it didn't bleed this much."
If Young expected an apology, he'd be disappointed. She had nearly suffered a heart attack because of him. "You were supposed to meet me at Java Heaven. Didn't Gene's assistant call you?"
He looked at her, his eyes narrowed against the glare of the flashlight. "My cell vibrated, but I was too busy to answer it—"
"—because you were breaking into my house, right?"
He gripped her wrist, redirecting the beam of light toward the floor. "I arrived just before you did and wanted to make sure Forrester wasn't hiding inside. By the way, you should have bars installed on your basement windows."
"I'll add it to my chore list," she muttered.
His next words were barely more than a whisper. "Aren't you glad it's me, not Forrester, here with you now?"
In the semidarkness, his voice sounded intimate, seductive. Warmth from his hand seeped through her skin and traveled up her arm. Her heart beat faster, but this time fear wasn't the cause. It was attraction, raw and potent. An attraction that roared through her blood, demanding release. An attraction she had to suppress.
She jerked her wrist out of his grasp.
He gave a low, knowing chuckle.
Gene respected Young's ability to keep her safe. She shouldn't let him unsettle her.
"Let's head out," he said.
"I need my shoes."
He nodded, then cursed softly. The movement must have started his nose bleeding again. She thought of offering him ice, but it seemed prudent to leave immediately. They could stop and buy ice when they were well away from here.
She shone the flashlight around the hall. The beam illuminated her sneakers in the corner, and she shoved her feet into them. Then she aimed the flashlight toward the spot where she'd left her luggage.
A noise like a car backfiring sounded outside. In the same instant, the pane of glass beside the front door shattered, and a tiny round hole appeared on the side of her carry-on case.
Her blood turned cold.
The bullet had missed her by inches.
Brent cursed as a second bullet plowed into the case. The flashlight was a beacon for the bastard outside.
He knocked the traitorous item out of Claire's hand, dragged her to the floor and covered her with his body. Her full breasts rose and fell in agitation. Under other circumstances, he would have enjoyed the softness of those curves, but tonight wasn't about pleasure. It was about staying alive.
The shooting stopped—probably because the flashlight had gone out after hitting the floor. But the threat wasn't over. Whoever was out there couldn't know if he'd hit his target unless he ventured inside.
Brent placed his lips against her ear and murmured, "Let's go."
"Which way?" she whispered back.
"Back door. Stay low. No noise."
"You need to move if you expect me to."
She shifted, her pelvis bumped against his, reminding him that it had been months since he'd been this close to a woman. Maybe after the danger was over, he'd think about remedying that situation—but not with her.
She wasn't unattractive. Far from it. He didn't remember a word of her info session, but he sure remembered her. Dark blond hair, full lips, flawless skin and a dynamite figure that even a tailored navy suit couldn't conceal. Claire Lamont had definite assets, but she was also a shrink. In his experience, shrinks were trouble, and he'd be a fool to forget it now just because this one came with a husky voice and a curvy body.
Cool, damp air flooded in through the broken glass pane. He climbed to his feet and crept along the hall. The back door was situated off the laundry room. When he reached it, Claire was right behind him.
"Now what?" she asked.
"Wait here."
He felt his way through the dark to the connecting door to the garage. Because of the power failure, he couldn't hit the switch to open the garage door. The automatic opener had to be disconnected from the overhead framework so he could lift the door manually.
He descended the wooden steps into the garage. A moment later, his leg nudged the bumper of Claire's car. He skirted around the driver's side and went to stand behind the vehicle. Should be a rope dangling with a handle attached. Reaching up, he moved his hand back and forth, trying to locate it.
Growing impatient, he climbed onto the trunk. The added height made it possible for him to touch the mechanism directly. He reached out, then inhaled as a sharp metal edge nicked his thumb. Damn. This fumbling around in the dark was crazy, but he couldn't risk using the penlight in his pocket. The garage had windows facing onto the front walkway.
Several tries later, he released the hook from the frame. He slid off the car and reached for the garage door. Twisting the handle, he tugged hard. The garage door rolled upward with a loud screech. Hopefully, the shooter would think Claire was attempting to drive away and try to stop her.
He ran back to the connecting door, knowing that it wouldn't take the shooter long to search the garage. He'd likely shoot the lock off the inner door and head inside.
Brent crossed the laundry room to the back door, stretched out both hands, but encountered only empty space.
"Claire?" he whispered.
No response. Damn this darkness.
Retrieving the penlight from his pocket, he shone it around him. The sliver of light flickered over the confined space, revealing a washer, dryer, sink and three-foot-long counter for folding clothes. And nothing else. His frustration surged to a new level. Where the hell had she gone?
Turning on his heel, he aimed the penlight toward the hall. The narrow beam illuminated her suitcase with its two ugly bullet holes. An equally ugly thought crossed his mind. What if Claire hadn't left the laundry room voluntarily? The possibility choked off his annoyance like a tourniquet, and alarm took its place. He'd only spent two or three minutes in the garage, but that could have been enough time for Claire to be dragged out the back door and forced into a waiting vehicle.
A quiet click sounded. The back of his neck prickled.
He removed his semiautomatic pistol from its holster and headed into the hall. As he drew near the kitchen, the pantry door swung open. He aimed his weapon. Despite the cold air seeping in through the broken window, sweat broke out on his brow.
When Claire emerged alone, his relief quickly gave way to anger. "Why didn't you wait for me in the laundry room?"
"Nowhere to hide if the guy broke in before you came back."
A reasonable explanation, but he wasn't about to admit it. "You just took ten years off my life."
"Then I guess we're even."
He knew he'd terrified her earlier. Not his intention, but before he could explain his presence, she'd walloped him in the face with the flashlight. After that, he'd lost all interest in apologizing.
"Come on," he said, turning away.
When he reached the back door, he stopped. "I'll go out first. If it's safe, I'll whistle. Run to the hedge on the right, wait for my next signal, then cross into your neighbor's yard. This time, stick to the plan."
"I will," she promised.
Something settled on the floor beside her. "What's that?"
"My carry-on."
"Leave it. It'll slow you down."
"No, it won't."
He decided to try a different tack. "Look, we'll stop at a store later, and you can pick up whatever you need."
"Thanks, but what I need is in this bag."
He couldn't believe they were arguing over toiletries. "Claire—"
"Save your breath," she told him. "I'm not going anywhere without it."
Fortunately, Young seemed to accept that arguing with her further would be a waste of time. Time they didn't have.

the roar of artillery could have sounded more
terrible to a sound man than did this scalping process
to him. The shrieks and exultant yells of the
brutes were indescribable.
Christian's life ebbed away, all three were
stripped and scalped; the savages retired and Wilbarger
lay in a dreamy state of semi-consciousness,
visions flitting through his mind bordering on the
marvelous and the supernatural.
The loss of blood finally aroused him and he
realized several wounds unknown to him before.
He crawled to a limpid stream close by and submerged
his body in it both to quench a burning thirst
and stop the flow of blood, and succeeded in both;
but in an hour or two became greatly chilled and
crawled out, but was so weak he fell into a sound
for how long he knew not
on awakening
from which he found his wounds covered with
those disgustinginsects, "blow flies." Occasionally
refreshing himself in the pool, the hours sped and
night came. He had realized that the escaped men
would spread the news and as soon as the few
settlers below could collect, relief might come.
After dark and many efforts he was able to rise and
then to stagger along
and resolved to
make an effort to reach the Hornsby place. He
traveled about a quarter of a mile, utterly failed
in strength and sank under a large tree, intensely
suffering with cold. When morning came he was
unable to move and his suffeiing, till the sun rose
and warmed him, was intense. He became able to
rise again, but not to walk. He affirmed that while
reclining against the tree his sister, Margaret,*
vividly appeared before him, saying, " Brother
Josiah! you are too weak to go in by yourself!
Remain here and before the sun sets friends will
take you in." She disappeared, going directly
towards the settlement. He piteously called to her:
"Margaret, my sister, Margaret! stay with me
till they come! " But she disappeared, and when
relief did come he told them of the vision and
believed till that time that it was a reality.
During the day-that long and agonizing day
between periods of drowsy slumber, he would sit
or stand, intensely gazing in the direction Margaret
had taken.
The two men who fled gave the alarm at
Hornsby's, and runners were sent below for aid,
which could not be expected before the next day;
and here occurs one of those incidents which,
however remarkable, unless a whole family and
several other persons of unquestionable integrity
* This sister was Mrs. Margaret Clifton, who had died
the day before at Florissant, St. Louis County, Missouri.
were themselves falsifiers, is true, and so held by
all the early settlers of the Colorado. During the
night in which Wilbarger lay under the tree, notwithstanding
the two men asserted positively that
they saw Wilbarger, Christian and Strother killed,
Mrs. Hornsby, one of the best of wopmen and
regarded as the mother of the new colony, about
midnight, sprang from bed, aroused all the house
and said: " Wilbarger is not dead! He sits
against a large tree and is scalped! I saw him
and know it is so! " Those present reassured and
remonstrated, even ridiculed her dream, and all
again retired. But about three o'clock, she again
sprang from the bed, under intense excitement,
repeated her former statement and added: " I saw
him again! As sure as God lives Josiah Wilbarger
is alive, scalped and under a large tree by himself!
I saw him as plainly as I now see you who are
present! If you are not cowards go at once or he
will die! " "But," said one of the escaped men,
"Mrs. Hornsby, I saw fifty Indians around his
body and it is impossible for him to be alive."
" I care not what you saw," replied the seem.ingly
inspired old mother, "I saw as plainly as
you could have seen, and I know he is alive! Go
to him at once." Her husband suggested that if
the men all left before help came from below she
would be in danger. "Never mind me! I can
take to the dogwood thicket and save myself!
Go, I tell you, to poor Wilbarger! "
The few men present determined to await till
morning the arrival of succor from below, but
Mrs. Hornsby refused to retire again, and busied
herself cooking till sunrise, so as to avoid any
delay when aid should come. When the men came
in the morning, she repeated to them in the most
earnest manner her dual vision, urged them to eat
quickly and hasten forward and, as they were
leaving, took from her bed a strong sheet, handed
it to them and said: " Take this, you will have to
bring him on a litter; he cannot sit on a horse."
The men left and after long search found and
buried the bodies of Christian and Strother.
Wilbarger spent the day in alternate watching
and dozing till, late in the evening, completely exhausted,
having crawled to a stump from which a
more extended view was obtained, he was sinking
into a despairing slumber, when the rumbling of
horses' feet fell upon his ear. He arose and now
beheld his deliverers. When, after quite a search,
they discovered the ghastly object
a mass of
they involuntarily halted, seeing which he
beckoned and finally called: Come on, friends; it
is Wilbarger." They came up, even then hesitating,
for he was disfigured beyond recognition.

CORAL SPRINGS — A recent accident at a Florida Power & Light Co. substation in Pompano Beach has inspired new concerns among neighbors to a substation under construction near the Tamarac-Coral Springs border.
Residents of the Oakwood South subdivision in Coral Springs are exploring possible ways to block the substation, following a June 11 incident in which 6-year-old Andre Hicks of Pompano Beach absorbed a 7,000-volt shock while playing inside the Ely substation.
Repeated attempts by Oakwood South homeowners to have the nearby site changed ended in failure last December when the Broward County Planning Council approved the substation after considering the residents` safety concerns.
The substation, which converts high-voltage electricity from power lines to a lower voltage for use by businesses and residences, will be located at Northwest 88th Avenue in Tamarac, just north of Southgate Boulevard and 285 feet from J.P. Taravella High School in Coral Springs.
Neighbors fear that the substation`s proximity to homes, a neighborhood park and a widely used bicycle path could result in incidents similar to the Pompano Beach accident.
``When we were fighting over this last year, the Planning Council told us we hadn`t come up with anything definitive against the substation,`` said Jane Percival, president of the Oakwood South Community Association. ``Maybe their vote would be different now.``
In addition, residents are disturbed over last year`s testimony before the Planning Council by an FPL attorney, who said FPL had a clean safety record since 1968 with regard to substations.
A homeowner has since received a copy of a form from the Public Service Commission in Tallahassee that outlines a 1981 Dade County accident in which a young boy was burned while climbing in a substation.

Man accused of attacking hotel housekeeper
WOODSTOCK– A criminal complaint filed against Refugio Zermeno-Camarena, the defendant in a case involving several charges of non-consensual sexual activities, spells out some of the evidence law enforcement officials say they have obtained in their investigation.
Zermeno-Camarena, 23, of Butner, North Carolina, was arrested Friday on charges relating to an alleged assault against a hotel housekeeper. The complaint, filed in Shenandoah County General District Court, states the victim was working as a housekeeper at the Holiday Inn Express, not the Hampton Inn & Suites as authorities previously reported. Zermeno-Camarena was a contract worker at the hotel. On April 6, according to the complaint, he attacked the victim at various times throughout the day.
The complaint states that throughout the morning, Zermeno-Camarena made lewd gestures toward the victim, the first of several sex-related offenses in a hotel room that she was working in. He left when his advances were rejected only to return several times.
The complaint also states that while the victim was cleaning a bathroom, he entered the same room and closed the door behind him, blocking her exit before attacking her more aggressively. The victim was eventually able to escape, the complaint states, and she reported the incident to her supervisor.
Zermeno-Camarena is facing charges of attempted forcible sodomy, abduction with the intent to defile, misdemeanor assault and two sexual battery charges, and is in custody at the Rappahannock-Shenandoah-Warren Regional Jail.
A preliminary hearing in this case is scheduled for May 15. If convicted, Zermeno-Camarena faces up to life imprisonment.

Discussion in 'Transformers Toy Discussion' started by Red leader, Sep 26, 2008.
I know it was rumoured but did G1 megs ever get made in France like Ops did ?
No. They were all made in China just like everyone else's G1 Megs were!
Seriously though, I have no idea.
The one I have says differently Stamped Takara 74-83 and Made in France. I paid quite a but for it a few years ago and was curious as to its worth nowadays. Knowing my luck probably less than a regular Megs lol!
I have a G1 Soundwave that has the made in France everywhere and have never been able to figure out were he originated from as I've always suspected it was a KO or something. Which is ok with me as I picked it up pretty cheap.
I cant find anything about them man maybe they are the milton bradley versions, Prime is pretty common over here but I havent seen a megs before.
I stand corrected!
I've read tidbits of info that seem to indicate that there actually was some sort of deal regarding some French run somewhere (kinda like what happened in Italy) but honestly I cant remember what the specifics were now. Not that there was much if any info to begin with but I've never heard the full deal regarding these "Made in France" versions.
Someone ??? anyone ???
That sounds right, but my memory is a little fuzzy too. Hey, Red, maybe you should shoot a pm to Nevermore. He'd probably know the answer.
I suppose he must be from the same lot as the red feet prime
Damn, I hadn't thought about the possibility of a French Megs, seems kind of obvious now thinking about it. My complete G1 Megs collection seems to be getting further away despite my dedication!
I think I know who to ask for more info, I'll post again once I've found out.
You're really close mate! But there are 2 waves.
The first Transformers released in Europe in 1984 where made under the license of Milton Bradley in a factory in Strasbourg (France). Optimus, Ironhide, Ratchet Mirage, Red Tracks, Soundwave, Starscream, Megatron and a few others. In 1984, Hasbro would buy out the competing toy company named Milton Bradley (MB), which whould result in the merged company briefly assuming the name "Hasbro Bradley, Inc." After the merger was completed, the company changed its name into simply "Hasbro, Inc." Milton Bradley's European facilities would also be used to manufacture the initial wave of Transformers toys to be released in Europe before the merger was completed. From that moment on the Toys came out of the company under the license of Hasbro.
Source: Hasbro - Transformers Wiki - Teletraan I
Now we have 2 waves of Transformers that came out of this factory. The MB 1984 TF, and the Hasbro 1984 TF. After 1984 Hasbro moved the production of TF to the "cheaper" countries for Mass distribution.
The Red Foot Optimus was in both runs (MB and Hasbro) in 1984. The bizarre part: There's also a regular footed MB and Hasbro made in 1984 in Strasbourg. I never got why they did that.
Hey Ninety, saw the PM and headed on over
Yes Megatron was produced in france, there is an MB Megatron and also a non-MB Megatron in multilingual Euro packaging.
In addition to that, it is believed that the Mexican IGA Megatron is also France stamped.
All the best
Just looking at your articles Maz, I didn't realise that so many of the toy's that were not on sale in the UK (shockwave for example) were being made by MB. Does anyone know exactly why some of those toys never made it to the UK?
Cheers Maz, I thought if anyone would know it would be you.
Thinking about it, it also occurs to me that quite a few of the moulds we didn't get were non-Takara moulds (Shockwave, as you mentioned, the Deluxe Insecticons, Roadbuster, Whirl). Offhand the only non-Takara mould I can think of that we got was Jetfire. Is that relevant to anything at all, or a completely unrelated brainfart?
It may have something to do with the nature of the licenses Hasbro held at the time. They may not have had the rights to distribute them in Europe, due to the deals they made with Toybox, etc. On the other hand, rights management may not have been that precise in the 80's, so it could be unrelated.
I always put it down to the UK being a smaller market so some toys were cut from the lineup for here; for example we got Grimlock, Snarl, Slag & Sludge, but we never got Swoop.
Or Omega Supreme, Sky Lynx, Trypticon, Fort Max, the Constructicons, the Predacons...
I managed to get Sky Lynx from a Toymaster stoy, it must have been an import though. I think that the reason that Omega wasn't realeased over here was because another company called Grandstand were already using the mold for a line I think was called Converters. I had one of these and repainted it when I was a kid.
Separate names with a comma.

Illuminating the Off-Grid World in Style
If you're looking for a nifty solar powered lamp, your first stop is more likely to be a camping shop than an art gallery. Groundbreaking artist Olafur Eliasson's new project for London 2012 festival at Tate Modern is set to change that.
Working with solar engineer Frederik Ottesen, Eliasson has designed a lamp — named Little Sun — for use by the one in five people on the planet who live off grid.
That's not such a new idea. In 2007 the Lighting Africa project was launched with the aim of encouraging growth in sustainable lighting solutions to address the problem. And big hitters like Philips and Siemens-owned OSRAM already have solar lamps out on the market.
Despite all these efforts to get solar lamps to off grid families,though, many still rely on kerosene lamps for light. This costs them 300 times more than an equivalent amount of energy on-grid.
Eliasson and Ottesen's aim was to improve by a factor of 10 the amount of light provided and decrease the cost by the same factor. With Little Sun they've done just that by incorporating a new, high powered LED with more standard solar lamp technology. For 5 hours of solar charging, the lamps give 5 hours of light.
The resulting product is beautiful, and every aspect has been carefully thought through.
But it doesn't stop there. Most equipment for off-grid living is optimised for robustness. Consulting with researchers at the University of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia and off-grid communities, the designers realised that the lamp, while robust, would also need to be aesthetically pleasing to successfully take off. They realised, says Eliasson, that their target audience would need to think: "I want to wear this during the day and I'm excited about it". "Everyone wants a beautiful object," he argues.
The resulting product is indeed beautiful: a bright yellow sun-shaped (or flower-shaped depending on your perspective) lamp on a lanyard of the same colour. Every aspect has been carefully thought through, such as the incorporation of ventilation into the design to avoid overheating in the strong sub-Saharan African sunshine.
So how is it art? Eliasson, famous for The Weather Project among other things — a huge yellow "sun" that appeared in Tate Modern's turbine hall in 2003 to critical acclaim — is planned an intervention at the gallery over the 12 week Olympic period last year. Every Saturday night after dark, the Surrealism gallery was immersed in darkness and visitors forced to navigate using only their Little Suns. The aim was to connect visitors to the light sources. "A blackout is a way of experiencing having no light," says Eliasson. "Walking in darkness, it's not just about using the light as a way of guiding, but also seeing. Your eye is in your hand."
As well as experiencing the gallery in a new way, visitors had the chance to participate in a work of Solar Graffiti – a video project by Eliasson that captured the trails of moving Little Suns.
Eliasson has successfully combined art, design, technology and social entrepreneurship with this project in a way that not only transcends these traditional boundaries, but in fact renders them obsolete. A fitting tribute to the global gathering that London 2012 provided.

Freeing the Press
A newspaper labor action in 1994 led to an 11-day online-news experiment.
(See Corrections & Amplifications item below.)
Plans for the Web newspaper were laid at a San Francisco picket line Wednesday, Nov. 2, 1994, and sketched out on a napkin at a nearby bar later that afternoon. That evening, one of its founding editors edited articles submitted via floppy disk and e-mail by striking Chronicle and Examiner journalists and pasted them into Web-page templates lifted from other sites.

DETROIT (AP) -- Great Lakes shippers say they're taking steps to keep a deadly fish virus from spreading into Lake Superior through ballast water.
The Lake Carriers' Association said Monday the measures will reduce the threat of viral hemorrhagic septicemia entering the lake or spreading there. The virus has been found in the other Great Lakes and in some inland lakes.
The group says freighters will try to take on ballast water in deep water away from shore and will re-circulate ballast water in their tanks to chop up any fish it may contain.
Wisconsin state fisheries official Mike Staggs says the measures could help but says ballast water still could contribute to the spread of disease and exotic species.
