Interview by James Eatock - January 2001
Here Larry DiTillio answers questions specifically relating to "The Dragon's Gift" episode from He-Man's season one.
In one of the first few lines in the episode, you touch upon Adam's playboy image. Was this something you likedabout the character?
Absolutely. Though this is probably a line whichfairly zoomed over the heads of our younger audience members. But such lines do play for older audience members and to my way of thinking this is what makes acartoon show acceptable for FAMILY viewing, i.e. something for the kids AND something for the adults. Besides we didn't want to make Prince Adam TOO Clark Kent.
In this episode, Adam's entranceinvolved he and Cringer tumbling into the throne room. Is it right to think that you loved using a comical moment to show Randor's embarrassment of his son?
YUP. This kind of slapstick fun always made King Randor crazy while at the same time made Prince Adam just a bit more lovable as a character.
Did you ever contemplate having King Randor actually touch the gift from Skeletor?
Nope. I really wanted Teela to have the greatest stakes in this episode so I stuck to Man-At-Arms. It also created some tension between He-Man and Teela when He-Man decides not to chop down Skytree.
Cringer's transformation into Battle Cat was amusing in this episode. Did you just think of it as you were writing that scene, or was that something that caught your eye?
Well we did Cringer trying to stave off the magic that turns him into Battle Cat so many times, we always were on the lookout for a new way to do it. This one just popped into my head at the time.
Where did the name "Weird of Crystal" come from?
I made it up. Instead of using weird as an adjective I used it as a noun, kind of like "The weirding way" in Dune.
You place the characters in a library, and again this happens in "House of Shokoti" Part 1. Did you like the idea of having the characters researching their mission?
I did but there was also more to it. In doing a kid's show you want to show things like reading in a very positive light, so kids will want to emulate their heroes and read a book. This is why I often had He-Man and friends turn to books in solving a dilemma. I did it in other cartoon shows as well.
How did you come up with the language for the Trolls of Darksmoke?
I was a roleplay gamer (Dungeons & Dragons, Tunnels & Trolls etc.) and often made up languages foruse in games. It was something I always liked doing. I wanted the Troll lingo to be kind of guttural, hence all the G's and K's. BTW - When I do make uplanguages, it isn't just gibberish, in my head I know what the characters speaking the tongue are saying so I can pace it for the voice actors and the director. Which is not to say that almost 20 years later I still remember what the words mean. But I can pretty well figure out what I had in mind from the context.
What was the relationship between theTrolls of Darksmoke and Granamyr?
They were his guards. I have a fondness for Trolls and liked having them be something more than just monsters.
Was it always your intention to have Granamyr appear at the very end of Act One so dramatically?
Of course. This was a BIG moment and I took great care with it, using almost an entire page of the script to describe all the detailsof his first appearance.
Where did the idea come from to have Granamyr constantly belittling He-Man? Was this already developed in "The Isle ofDarksmoke" game?
Granamyr had a very low opinion of the human race soit was very much in his nature to belittle He-Man. In "The Isle ofDarksmoke," he was much the same and was placed there so my players would come across something They absolutely had no chance of beating and thus were forced to negotiate. BTW - For those of you who are totally lost at this moment, "The Isle of Darksmoke" was a Tunnels& Trolls roleplay scenario I wrote for Flying Buffalo Inc. It was printed with a beautiful cover by Michael Whelan and I was very proud of it. I wrote it before I went to work on He-Man and when I decided to do a story about a dragon I simply borrowed the name from myself.
Where did Skytree come from? Did you just want something older than Granamyr that wasn't in any physical form?
Uh, trees are physical forms, yes? But to answer the question, I wanted something older than Granamyr and instead of opting for a monster I went for a tree. To me this was more magical and helped keep the tension going. If it had been an evil dragon or something of that nature, it is doubtful He-Man would have hesitated as he did with the tree. As for the name,you caught me stealing from myself again. It comes from an unpublished Dungeons & Dragons scenario I wrote called "Skytree and Stone Glade."
Okay, what is/was the exact age of Granamyr and Skytree? :)
Granamyr will be 2,051 on February 16th 2001; Skytree turns 20,075 on September 9th 2001.
Was Tullamore's Irish accent something that surprised you?
Not at all. He was written with the brogue, and namedafter Tullamore Dew a fine Irish whiskey.
Was Tullamore's incantation "ToraMcMorn" supposed to mean anything?
It is an incantation designed to trigger a teleportation spell. I suppose one could translate it as "I'm outtahere."
Skytree states that "A Man-At-Arms saved the forest from the Witches of Fire." Did you always try and insert Eternian history into scripts?
Yup. It was part of my style to always have this senseof great magical events occurring throughout Eternia's long history.
A lot of films nowadays have twists, butI still think that "The Dragon's Gift" twist (Granamyr accepts thegift of life) was very surprising. Did you always envisage this twist at theend? And do you consider it to be a twist?
It's definitely a twist in that the audience was neverused to seeing He-Man fail and he was willing to sacrifice himself as well. Iimagine there was a few tense moments for our younger audience there.
How did this story develop, and werethere any other alternative routes you nearly took?
My first assignment for He-Man was a rewrite of a script called"The Time Corridor." After completing it, I pitched about 6 more stories to Arthur Nadel and he turned them all down. Figuring I was finished, I went back to a heinous nine to five job until Arthur called me and asked me where I had been all these weeks. I told him I thought he was no longer interested in having me write for the show. He said nonsense, just because they didn't like the first stories I pitched, I shouldn't stop trying (this by the way was my first major lesson in living the writer's life -never take a rejection personally). So I came up with 3 more stories one of which was "The Dragon's Gift." The main premise of the story was that Granamyr was something He-Man couldn't defeat with physical strength. Arthur bought it and another of the three (and would you believe I can't remember that one!) and when I finished the first draft of it and turned it in, Filmation offered me a permanent job on He-Man.
I know Robert Lamb wasn't too keen on the final design of Granamyr, but were you?
Well, it wasn't quite how I envisioned Granamyr and I absolutely HATED the silly hat. I remember trying to knock it off his head and destroy it in one of the sequel scripts but no way would they let me get away with it. I did want something a little more majestic (much like the Chinese Dragon I wrote about in an episode of Conan the Adventurer later in my career). However Granamyr had a great voice and he grew on me.
Was it always your aim to bring back Granamyr again in "The Return of Granamyr" and "Disappearing Dragons"?
Yup, sure. Why wouldn't it be? If you have a character that good you always want to find another story to use them in. Besides I have a thing for talking dragons.
Is this your favorite episode that you have written?
I tend to shy away from the "favorites"stuff, but it would definitely fall into the category of one of my favorites.
Stupid question time: Who would win in a fight, Superman or Granamyr? :)
Hoo boy, that's a stupid question alright. :^) Only kidding. But the answer is obvious, since I also wrote two Superman episodes later in my career. Say itwith me now folks: what is Superman vulnerable to? Kryptonite and MAGIC. And since Granamyr wielded very ancient magics Superman would be a goner in anydust-up with him.
And that's it folks...

Anniversary Notice?

Sad thing is, very few newspapers will let you see anything or you have to pay online to see any.ReplyDelete
Our local historical society has lots of old newspapers on microfilm. I was surprised to see all the anniversary announcements - complete with photos of the happy couple - not just in small town papers, but city editions as well. Your reminder couldn't be more timely! :o)Replies
That's a good point, Laura. Sometimes I ignore city newspapers when working on my in-laws from Chicago, thinking that "they can't have appeared" in the newspaper. That's not necessarily true. So I got a reminder here as well ;-)Delete
After reading your post on using Chronicling America I found a newspaper article about an ancestor celebrating their 54th wedding anniversary! Wow it was loaded with family info, some of which was new to me.ReplyDelete
Thank you Michael for reminding me to use that fabulous site!

by Wendy A. Horwitz
On Saturday afternoon, Dec. 15, I sat with my 14-year-old son, his father and his grandmother in a second row pew in Grace Lutheran Church in Wyndmoor. We were not there to pray but to attend my daughter's guitar recital. (My daughter, Anne Shipley, 11, is a student at the Greene Street Friends School.) One by one, girls in velvet, crinoline-poufed dresses and boys in starchy shirts walked with shy smiles to the altar. A tiny girl with glossy black hair plinked "Jingle Bells" on the piano. A tall teenager belted out a popular song, microphone held to her mouth, like an "American Idol" star. There was the usual mix of charming off-key violin, tentative notes punctuated by reassuring glances with a teacher, and once, the bell-like soprano of a little boy in a plaid shirt.
But this was no ordinary recital. After Mickey Leone, co-director of SoundStage School of Music in Oreland, introduced the concert, Pastor Carol Ficken spoke to us. Around her neck she wore a festive jingle bell on a slender red ribbon. She welcomed us and without being explicit, she alluded to the killings in Newtown, Connecticut, the previous day. Pastor Ficken invited us to think about the "blessing of our children and of their teachers who support them in fulfilling their hopes and dreams."
I felt a wave of gratitude. We could not merely sit there, watching our children play, knowing that other families had eagerly anticipated recitals and Christmas pageants and Hanukkah parties and gatherings around fragrant dinner tables, but instead were in mourning.
A boy with a sweet round face sang "Here Comes the Sun." A brother-sister duet did John Lennon's "Imagine." When they'd rehearsed during the previous weeks, they hadn't known how appropriate those Beatles songs would become.
My son looked at me, part chagrin, part curiosity. "Are you crying, mom?" he whispered. He thought I was being my corny self, reacting to the adorable children and too prone to tears anyway. "Trying not to," I answered. "I'm thinking about the shootings." He nodded; he'd understood. But I had to get the crease out of my brow and prevent the tears from spilling before my daughter's turn.
A girl of about 7 or 8 began singing "Little Drummer Boy." She gazed at the space above our heads, and though she'd obviously lost a front baby tooth, she smiled confidently. In a simple velvet dress, her light brown hair surrounding a face that I can only describe as beatific, she sang in a clear voice, steady as a drumbeat, each note, each word, enunciated. Not too loud, not too soft; not too fast, not too slow. Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, she sang, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum.
That familiar melody: Muzak versions in malls and in CVS have numbed us to its power. Perhaps we were numb as well to shootings: Columbine, Virginia Tech, Lindhurst, Nickel Mines. Ever heard of Chardon High? February 27, 2012: three students killed. No U.S. state is immune, no year untouched.
At Grace Lutheran, I listened, and the girl's Christmas song felt like a dirge, but also, like the bum-ba-dum firmly tapped by a child who forges ahead with his drum in the night. She repeated her chorus, and I noticed above her the bright stained glass showing Jesus with lambs at his feet. I'm Jewish, so my creed runs different from that depiction. But if I ever believed in a personified deity, I would pray to Jesus or Lord Vishnu or Allah, or even to my own nameless G-d. Protect these children; damn it. That would be my prayer.
By the time my daughter got up, beautiful in her baggy jeans and pixie haircut, I'd pulled myself together and relished every perfect thrum on her big new guitar, every lyric to "Baby's in Black." Anne's rockabilly twang was as defiant as the candle in the wind.
Since I don't believe in a miracle-making god, I sought religion in another way. That afternoon, I sent donations to charity and email to Congress and the President. I pleaded for gun-control legislation. We cannot always prevent human beings from acting on rage, extremism or psychotic confusion, but we can ban the weapons that render violence worse and more frequent.
That night, I lit my eight Hanukah candles said the benedictions. Little oval flames were steady above my brass menorah. Then I lit an extra candle, a votive, for Sandy Hook Elementary School, the families, friends, the mother and her troubled son and for all of us in this dark night of our souls.

The East Central University men's basketball team dropped a 59-65 decision to Northwestern Oklahoma State in the Kerr Activities Center in Great American Conference action.
The Tigers (8-15, 5-12 GAC) were led by junior Chris Fisher, who tallied 23 points and six rebounds. Junior Henry Pwono added 10 points and six boards.
The first half was a battle for control of the scoreboard, with four tie scores and six lead changes. ECU was the first team to earn a lead larger than three points, with a 7-2 run over a two-minute span that gave them a 22-17 advantage. The Tigers kept pushing the momentum and expanded the lead out to 11 (33-22), with 2:58 left to play. The Rangers (12-01, 9-6 GAC) started a push of their own in the final three minutes, going on an 8-3 run to close the half trailing 36-30.
Northwestern came out ready to fight in the second half and went on a 10-0 run in the first six minutes to earn a 36-40 advantage. The Rangers kept pushing and claimed a six-point lead with 12 minutes left to play. However the Tigers pushed back and tied the game at 46, with a 6-0 run over the next three minutes.
The teams traded points over the next four minutes before a 4-0 run by Northwestern gave them the final advantage of the game, with four minutes remaining. The Tigers kept the game close until the final minute of action, when the Rangers took advantage of trips to the charity stripe to push the lead out to as many as eight before earning the 59-65 win.
While ECU went 8-for-17 from beyond the arc and held the Rangers to a 0-of-10 mark, Northwestern earned an advantage at the charity stripe. The Rangers went 21-of-28 from the stripe and sent the Tigers to the line just 20 times (making 13). Northwestern also earned a key 25-41 rebounding lead.
ECU will play a single game next week in the final game at the Kerr Activities Center for the 2012-13 season. The Tigers will host Southern Nazarene, Thursday, Feb. 21 at 7:30 p.m. on the annual Senior Night.

And at least he got the scrabble board details right, unlike SOME people I know, ahem, Mr. Douglas "the scrabble board I talk about is 13 by 13 squares" Adams! that's right I called you out, Adams!
I was amused to see how the Spanish-translation of xkcd worked on this one - see for yourself. It sees the need to change "hi" to "si" so there's a short word with an "i" but I guess there's no good way to get an eight letter word that will upset your family without changing the whole comic. Brings to mind interesting ideas about translating words vs. ideas.
update: A commenter writes, "The Spanish word for "clitoris" is "clitoris", so there's no need to find a different eight-letter word." This proves, once again, that I am an idiot. Sorry gang. Still interesting to think about what they would do if spanish didn't have the word "clitoris"! right? maybe?
But moving on....
That said - I can't say I like the way this comic was presented. Mr. Hat's scheme is funny, but why have him just telling it afterwards? Why not show him at his computer messing with the trolls himself? Just seems like Randall kind of crippled the humor potential by just showing the post-prank discussion.
Still, this whole week has had well above average comics - perhaps there is a glimmer of hope after all! I wonder how many good comics in a row it would take to convince me I've done my job and my mission was completed.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Embattled Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling on Monday met with former Microsoft Corp Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer to discuss a possible settlement over Sterling's opposition to the $2 billion sale of the basketball team, a source close to the case said.
Ballmer met with Sterling for 90 minutes at the 80-year-old real estate billionaire' s request, but the talks did not resolve Sterling's opposition to the deal brokered by his estranged wife, the source said.
Sterling and his wife, Shelly Sterling, are locked in a court battle over whether Sterling has legal standing to block the NBA-record sale to Ballmer.
Ballmer's attorney Adam Streisand and Shelly Sterling's attorney Pierce O'Donnell also attended the meeting, the source said.
Messages left with representatives for Sterling seeking comment were not immediately returned.
The Sterlings' probate trial has entered its final phase and Donald Sterling's lawyers, who were scheduled to present their case on Monday, called off the day's hearing after less than an hour.
Sterling's case was dealt a significant blow last week when Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas refused to throw out testimony by physicians who said he has early Alzheimer's disease and cannot handle his business affairs.
The trial picks up on Tuesday with testimony from current Clippers interim CEO Richard Parsons, the former head of Time Warner Inc.
Shelly Sterling, 79, has told the court she sold the franchise at her husband's behest after the league banned him for life and threatened to seize the team for taped racist remarks he made in private that were publicized.
The remarks disparaging black people caused sponsors to cut ties with the team that Sterling has owned for 33 years. Players considered a boycott amid general public outrage.
Sterling contends that his wife and her lawyers misled him into submitting to the medical examinations that handed her control of the franchise.
Levanas will decide whether Shelly Sterling complied with the terms of the family trust that owns the Clippers in ousting her husband and if the sale can go forward after Sterling revoked the trust.
Sterling, who was combative and shouted during testimony in the trial, said the Clippers are worth more than $2 billion and that he would never sell the team.
The chief financial officer and controller of Sterling's Beverly Hills Properties company testified on Monday that Sterling would have to sell some of his $2.5 billion in real estate assets to cover loan obligations.
Darren Schield said banks could now call Sterling's $480 million in liabilities since he revoked the trust that owns his holdings.
"I told him this revocation would open up Pandora's Box and there would be severe consequences for us," Schield told the court, adding that Sterling's poor public image would also make it too difficult to raise enough cash by issuing stock.

When I apply power to my breadboarded ATmega 328 with a small DC motor driven through a logic level mosfet, the voltage measures about 5v then drops to around 2v after 4 or 5 seconds.
The regulator is going into thermal limit... small dc motors draw in the 100 to 300 mA range and the load on the regulator is about 2 watts of power, more than enough for it to thermal limit.
@Tesla, two questions:1. Is there any mechanical load on the motor, or is it just spinning free?2. Is the 7805 getting hot?Something to try, test the drive capability of the MCU. Remove the motor and MOSFET, try to drive a purely resistive load from the ATmega. Connect a 220-ohm resistor from an output pin to ground. Drive the pin high, measure the pin voltage. Now connect the resistor from the pin to +5V and drive it low, again measure the pin voltage.
The motor is just spinning free, and the 7805 is not getting hot. In fact I can't find any part of the circuit getting hot. I tried connecting the 220-ohm resistor and read 4.74V when driven high from output to ground. It measures 0.47V when driven low from output to +5V.

Miley Cyrus has lashed out at reports suggesting she and her teenage sweetheart Nick Jonas have been meeting up in secret behind her fiancé Liam Hemsworth's back.
The former "Hannah Montana" star has been at the center of ongoing speculation her romance with the Australian hunk is on the rocks since she was snapped without her engagement ring while Hemsworth was Down Under vacationing with his family.
The actress and singer has repeatedly claimed the relationship is still on, but new tabloid gossip suggests the star has been enjoying secret rendezvous with Jonas, who she dated in 2007.
Now Cyrus has angrily shot down the rumors, insisting she hasn't seen the Jonas Brothers hunk for years and has been trapped in her house due to a constant paparazzi presence.
Taking to Twitter to address the claims, she writes, "I literally haven't seen Nick Jonas in years. Don't believe everything you read folks.
"Why are magazines allowed to publish straight bull [bleep]… I couldn't have 'ran' into anyone because I haven't went (sic) to eat out in public in weeks because of the amount of paparazzi outside my house."

Staying healthy is one concern many baby boomers have.
And although public opinion of the federal health care reform measure known as the Affordable Care Act remains mixed, AARP says the law could significantly benefit older Americans.
The ACA was signed in March 2010 with an aim of making health care more
affordable and getting most Americans insured. The law still is not seen favorably by many: A June poll by Kaiser Health Tracking found that unfavorable views of the law still outnumber favorable ones, 43 percent to 35 percent.
But Jennifer Creasey, associate state director of Advocacy and Outreach for AARP Illinois, said older Americans in particular may benefit from it.
"Boomers are in a unique category," she said. "They really will be affected, but they don't realize they will be affected. There is a lot out there, but people don't realize it will help them."
The Illinois Department of Aging said the law may help boomers who are 50 to 64 who need health care, but are either unable to afford it and are too young for Medicare, Kimberly Parker, communications manager for the department, wrote in an email to Shaw Media.
And for older boomers, the law improved Medicare by making preventive services – including flu shots, mammograms and health screenings – free, she wrote.
There are concerns about costs, though. The America's Health Insurance Plans association notes that 2010 estimates from the Congressional Budget Office show the ACA will reduce funding for the benefits of Medicare Advantage enrollees by more than $200 billion over 10 years.
"Given the scope and scale of these funding cuts, we have serious concerns about their likely impact," AHIP President and CEO Karen Ignagni said in prepared statements posted on the association's website. "Because the vast majority of the ACA's cuts to the Medicare Advantage program have not yet taken effect, beneficiaries have not yet felt their full impact."
Creasey, though, said the law will make the health insurance industry seem more fair and predictable to those older than 50 who have had a tough time finding insurance, have lost their job recently or might want to change jobs.
The law allows parents to keep their dependant children on their insurance plans until age 26, eliminates the lifetime cap on what a person can receive in benefits and mandates insurance companies provide coverage for those with pre-existing conditions.
Creasey predicted there would be "hiccups" as the law continues to be rolled out. And there are many unknowns, such as the price of the insurance products that will be offered in the marketplace.
The hope is that it creates competition and drives down prices, she said, but stressed it's too early to know if that's what will happen.
"If everything goes as planned, it should benefit them," she said.

Strong Growth for LED Video Display Unit Shipments in 2015, as Revenue StallsAugust 03, 2016The Bottom Line Due to a dramatic 26 percent year-over-year decline in prices across all pixel-pitch categories in 2016, LED video-display shipments are expected to grow 27.5 percent with 4.9 percent revenue growth this year. The outdoor-retail category held almost 40 percent of total market share, due to the high brightness and durability of LED video. However, as installation shifts to indoor applications, this market share is expected to drop to 35 percent by 2020. LED video price erosion and the market's increasing appetite for higher resolution displays will shift pixel-pitch categories lower, with 2-4.99mm being installed for both indoor and outdoor digital signage applications and 5-9.99mm catering purely to outdoor displays. With indoor and outdoor retail and public spaces acting as the main driving force, these categories are expected to achieve year-over-year growth of 98 percent and 63 percent, respectively.

Have both and they're both different.
Just wondering if anyone out there has owned/sampled both and if so, are they very much alike? I used to own Cologne Blanche but it kinda reminded me of Helmut Lang edp and I had that already so I don't think I would like CR if it's similar to CB.
Have both and they're both different.
Cologne Blanche is a powdery iris scent while Cologne Royal smells like a traditional eau de cologne with a lovely smooth mint top. It is fantastic in my opinion.
Cologne Royale is not powdery at all. Very typical citrus based, hesperedic and fresh eaux cologne. Very short longevity but very 'real' smelling and not synthetic.
I always thought of Cologne Blanche as the sister to L' Eau d'Hiver by Frederic Malle (which is, itself, an homage to Apres L'Ondee by Guerlain - no?)
"When you become comfortable with uncertainty. infinite possibilities open up in your life"
-- Eckhart Tolle
Be sure to visit the Palazzo Dior Boutique, it is the only one that carries it.
no, unfortunately. I was very sad to learn that CB has been discontinued. The Dior expert introduced me to CR as a replacement, but it's a rather generic citrus cologne. Nothing to write home about and certainly not as unique as CB. I hope it gets re-introduced some day. I now need to find a replacement - will look into the Malle cologne suggested above (thanks!)
Went to the Dior boutique at South Coast Plaza this evening to try Cologne Royale. The listed notes bergamot, lemon, mint, etc., sounded very inviting. I applied 4 good sprays on my the back of my forearm. Insipid. Weak. It was barely noticeable within 5 minutes. Very disappointing. Similar results with the La Collection Privee Vetiver. Pass.
Just got myself one of this and i am liking it very much. Since i guess it was composed by Francis Kurkdjian, Cologne Blanche shares a very similar citrusy/powderiness that also found in Absolue pour Le Matin. Very comforting and cuddling fragrance and not as almondy water as i thought it would be.

CV Products' New Belt Timing System For Chevrolet Race Engines Makes High-Performance Power Easier Than Ever
Beltdriven timing systems are nothing new in racing. Their usefulness was first proven in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series, and since then the technology has trickled down to Dirt Late Model racing, the ARCA series, and other upper-level racing classes.
Although they are more expensive than a traditional timing-chain system, a beltdrive has several advantages that can show up on the race track. First, the belt helps absorb power-robbing harmonics in the engine. This helps smooth out the impulses transmitted to the camshaft and valvetrain and can improve overall control of the valvetrain. A belt also doesn't stretch over time, and it won't develop "slack" in the system like a chaindriven system can. Also, a belt system with intelligently designed cogs that mesh well with the pulleys works much more efficiently than a chain and will sap less horsepower from the engine-meaning more power to the rear wheels. And finally, if you feel you will need to make camshaft timing adjustments, a belt system is definitely the way to go because it does not require oil, and therefore, can be made to be easily accessible to so you can make your changes on an adjustable cam pulley.
Normally, one of the biggest complaints about using a beltdrive timing system is the hassle of getting it properly installed. Traditional beltdrive systems use packs of shims to set the camshaft endplay. Not only was finding the right combination of shims time consuming, but they often had to be modified with oiling holes to keep them from burning up or galling against the drive.
CV's new Xceldyne beltdrive timing system does away with all that by replacing the shim packs with an innovative new thrust bearing. In fact, this new "Low Drag Cam Thrust Bearing Assembly" is so innovative it was awarded patent number 7,331,319 this past February. CV says its new thrust-bearing design utilizes "precision-ground 44c stainless ball bearings in a perfectly balanced assembly" which eliminates the cam hub, seal plate, cam shims, and Torrington bearings found in more standard beltdrive systems. The bearing is lubricated by engine oil from inside the crankcase, eliminating the need for special oiling arrangements. The oil seal is also built into the bearing to further simplify the assembly.
To get a better idea of how CV's new beltdrive timing system works, we stopped by the shops of KT Engine Development in Concord, North Carolina, while owner Ken Troutman installed a kit on an engine to be raced in the ARCA series. CV says kits should also be available for Ford small blocks by the time you read this.

One thing that unites Americans, pretty much wherever they are from, is the conviction that their own state is singularly corrupt. Most states, if not all, have their harrowing stories of arrested governors or legislators. Just in the past few weeks, California state Sen. Ron Calderon got stripped of all his legislative assignments, following reports that he may have taken $88,000 in bribes from an undercover federal agent.
But corruption is a common problem in most places, so your state probably isn't as bad as you think. And if it is especially bad, odds are good that your state has a small capital city — one that is far away from your state's biggest population centers. As it turns out, that's not coincidental.
Think of a U.S. state, and the city that comes to mind probably isn't the capital. Florida will bring to mind Miami; New York, New York City; Illinois, Chicago; California brings to mind Los Angeles and San Francisco. Yes, there are cases where the dominant city is also the capital — Atlanta or Boston — but the small-capital model is more prevalent.
Why is that the case? Much thought and political back-and-forth went into the process of designating state capitals. In many places, there was one strong concern: political power ought to be kept geographically separated from economic power. If the most powerful economic interests are too close to the center of political power, the idea went, the latter would be too easily captured by the former, opening the door for corruption.
The idea seems sensible at face value. But it has backfired. My research (with my colleague Quoc-Anh Do, from Sciences Po Paris) has found that states with more isolated capital cities are ranked as more corrupt. This is true even when you control for many characteristics that have been found to correlate with corruption at the state level, such as education or income. Using statistical techniques, we found evidence supportive of a causal interpretation — in other words, that having a more isolated capital city leads to more corruption.
But why would that be the case? The likely answer is that having an isolated capital city means putting too much distance between politicians and the sort of people who hold them in check.
Start with the media covering state politics. We find that newspapers with readers close to the capital tend to devote significantly more coverage to state politics and politicians. When the capital is in a small place, state politics is going to be covered by a small newspaper, with fewer journalistic resources and a smaller audience than their big-city brethren.
What fills the resulting void of information and accountability? Cash, for one thing. Our research found that states with more isolated capitals have more money in state politics. We find evidence that states with isolated capitals tend to spend less, and less effectively, in the provision of public goods such as education, and to spend more on administrative expenditures instead. With fewer people watching, politicians use public money less wisely.
Should we move California's capital to L.A.? After all, the average Angeleno is unlikely to be any more or less honest than a Sacramentan, but the average Sacramentan, living in the capital, does seem to be more interested, informed and engaged with what goes on in state government. Since there are many more Angelenos, it could make a difference if we could reverse that pattern.
Still, I would not go that far. Moving capital cities is a huge and costly endeavor, and traffic congestion is awful in L.A.
It does seem important to recognize, however, that politicians in isolated state capitals need special vigilance. In such places, those who are interested in fighting corruption must redouble their efforts. To put it another way: when the neighbors are far away, watchdogs have to bark louder.

Life Science: Session 6
Gail Modugno, Springfield, MA
"My fifth graders start out with a lot of natural curiosity about life science. I think even on the walk home, kids are looking at animals or noticing changes in the seasons. And it's the curiosity, some of the magic: "Well, why did the leaves change?" So I think the natural interest is there, and all you have to do is bring it up and then really get them to focus on using their scientific skills."
School at a Glance:
Alice B. Beal Elementary
- Location: Springfield, MA
- Enrollment: 312
- Ethnicity:
White: 35%
African American: 30%
Hispanic: 29%
Asian: 6%
- Percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch: 65% versus a state average of 29%
Gail Modugno teaches fifth-grade math and science at the Alice B. Beal Elementary School in Springfield, MA, the largest city in the state west of Boston. It is a diverse school system, and the school's enrollment breaks down into nearly perfect thirds between black, Hispanic, and white students. In all areas of state testing, the school's students score at or above state averages; about 65% of the school's 312 students receive a free or reduced-price lunch.
The Beal School recently changed its format for fifth grade, assigning its teachers to focus on two subjects and splitting the class into two groups: in the morning, half have math and science while the other half study language arts and social studies, and in the afternoon, they switch.
"When I came into teaching, I was surprised that I fell towards the math and science," said Gail. "I never expected to, but over the years, that's just the direction I went in." When the school made the decision to split the grade and the teaching responsibilities, Gail requested the math and science section, and she now teaches those subjects to all sixty of the school's fifth graders.

English Rugby
England confirm 2013 autumn line-up
ESPN Staff
November 30, 2012
England will play Australia once again at Twickenham © PA Photos
England have confirmed their autumn internationals for 2013 with Stuart Lancaster's charges playing three matches in two weeks.
Lancaster's men will come up against Australia, Argentina and New Zealand over three consecutive Saturdays with the Wallabies Test kicking off the series on November 2. England will then challenge Argentina a week later and they will complete the line-up with a Test against the All Blacks on November 16, a team they will come face-to-face with on Saturday at Twickenham.
England have not fared well against southern hemisphere opposition having last beaten the All Blacks at Twickenham in 2002 and while they beat Australia in 2010, their previous win over the Wallabies at their traditional home came back in 2005. Argentina last played England at Twickenham back in 2009 and Martin Johnson's men won 16-9 but three years before, it was the Pumas who were victorious thanks to a 25-18 triumph.
And Lancaster is relishing the opportunity to see his side come up against some of the best teams in the world once again. "We have gone head to head with the best teams in the southern hemisphere at Twickenham," Lancaster said. "In the process, we have learnt a lot about our players and what is required to perform at the very top level of international rugby.
"We are looking forward to meeting Australia and New Zealand again next November and welcoming Argentina to Twickenham for the first time since 2009."

VATICAN CITY — This is not news, nor is it important in the scheme of things. This is just a simple blog post about a simple matter.
Today a bug landed on Pope Benedict XVI's forehead during a visit to a home for the elderly in Rome.
Instead of brushing his guest away, the pope stayed focused and continued greeting other guests. Five seconds later, the bug left on his own.
This was not the pope's first encounter with a wayward insect. In 2009, a spider took his time climbing on the pope's cape as he gave a speech inside the presidential palace in the Czech Republic. While the pope seemed not to notice and did not react, the incident drew a lot of international media attention. In fact, the spider garnered more media coverage than the pope's speech.
Pope Benedict XVI is known for his immense powers of concentration. This is likely why he seems to not be bothered by little creatures.

If either dies, the game is over. Kinda sucks!
Also, the minute I try to fire/aim my Plasma Torpedo the game crashes.
Anyone have a fix??

Ditto with the targeting crash of the cannon of doom - seems to occur in the third battle (the one where you get the princess).
Just call me Lord Starfari the mostly Omniscient, almost Omnipotent Protector of the weak, most magnificently über awesome and incredibly modest Overlord of the local group galactic cluster and nearby regions.

As the federal government closes out its fiscal year, most observers would agree that the budget process has turned into a real mess.
Earlier this week, the House and Senate narrowly reached an agreement on a continuing resolution that extended the spending authority for federal agencies until Nov. 18, thus avoiding the threat of another government shutdown.
In essence, congressional leaders simply punted the problem about six weeks down the road to a time when they'll have to find a way to avert another showdown between Republican deficit hawks and Democrat pro-government hardliners.
How did the Congress get in this mess and what might happen in the weeks ahead? The National Sorghum Producers has compiled a recap of the deficit reduction battles of recent weeks under the heading, "Federal Deficit Reduction & Your Farm – Part 1: Committees, Gangs and Groups," in the Sept. 29 issue of its weekly Sorghum Notes:
"Super committee, a gang of six, a group here, a plan there. You've heard about the numerous budget scenarios for the last several months on the evening news, but what do they mean when it comes to sorghum and farm policy? Over the next few weeks, NSP explains what has been proposed and what is currently on the table when it comes to cuts to agriculture.
"In the first of this two-part series, we will chronologically revisit the proposed deficit reduction plans that have outlined major cuts to agriculture.
"December 2010– After 10 months of work, the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility, or the Simpson-Bowles group, proposed $15 billion in cuts to agriculture over 10 years.
"April 2011– House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's plan, the Path to Prosperity, proposed almost $30 billion in cuts to agriculture over the next 10 years with direct payments and crop insurance in the plan's cross hairs.
"June 2011– The Biden Group, a group of six lawmakers chaired by Vice President Joe Biden, was charged with finding $2.5 trillion in budget cuts. The Biden Group proposed $34 billion in cuts to agriculture but negotiations broke down at the last minute.
"July 2011– The bipartisan 'Gang of Six' proposed a solution to U.S. debt ceiling crisis that would cut $11 billion to agriculture over the next 10 years, but Senator Tom Coburn resigned from the group, ending its chances of bipartisan success.
"August 2011– The Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, or the 'Super Committee', was created by Budget Control Act of 2011 to reduce the deficit by at least $1.5 trillion before Nov. 23. The committee consists of 12 members of Congress, half from the Senate and half from the House with each delegation equally divided between Democrats and Republicans.
"September 19, 2011– President Obama reveals his American Jobs Act, which proposes $33 billion in future cuts to agriculture, calling for elimination of direct payments (assuming higher enrollment in ACRE as a result), cuts to crop insurance subsidies to both companies and growers, cuts to the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), and continuing the widely criticized Supplemental Disaster Assurance Program (SURE) for 5 years with a price tag of $8.4 billion.
"October 14, 2011– Committees of jurisdiction, like the Ag Committee, may present recommendations for budget cuts to the Super Committee, which may then choose to use or scrap them.
"November 23, 2011– The Super Committee must report to Congress with its deficit reduction plan and prepare for an up or down vote.
"December 23, 2011– Congress is due to vote on cuts.
"Then what? If the Super Committee succeeds in cutting $1.5 trillion from the federal budget and both the House and Senate approve the plan, the country theoretically gets to move on to other priorities. If the Super Committee recommends any less than $1.5 trillion in cuts, the balance will be gained from an across-the-board reduction process called sequestration. Next week, we'll take a look at agriculture's seat at the table, and specifically, what the National Sorghum Producers is doing to make sure your voice is heard in ongoing negotiations."

Saints WR Morgan arrested for DWI
New Orleans, LA – New Orleans Saints wide receiver Joe Morgan was reportedly arrested early Saturday morning for allegedly driving while intoxicated.
According to the Times-Picayune, the 25-year-old was arrested in Jefferson Parish and booked for DWI and driving with no license.
A responding trooper arrived at the scene when someone called in a report of a disabled vehicle on the Earhart Expressway. Morgan was found asleep behind the wheel of his vehicle, which was parked on the shoulder of the highway.
The paper states that the trooper noticed Morgan seemed visibly intoxicated once awoken. When asked to step out the vehicle, Morgan was swaying his feet and smelled of alcohol.
He was taken to Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna, and Morgan's blood alcohol content registered at 0.218 percent, more than twice the 0.08- percent legal limit, the arrest report stated.
In addition, he did not have a valid driver's license, as a records check would show. He was booked at the Gretna jail and released the same day on $1,150 bond.
After the speedy wideout recorded 379 yards and three touchdowns on 10 catches his first season with New Orleans, Morgan entered the offseason as the third receiver on the team's depth chart.
He was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2011, but landed on injured reserve that preseason.

Mankato History Village Now Center Of Flood Fight
MANKATO, (AP) - Federal officials say a cluster of replica buildings where an annual Minnesota history festival is held sits in a flood zone and must go.
The buildings are owned by 75-year-old philanthropist Jack McGowan. Mankato's annual History Fest is held in the pretend village at the confluence of the Le Sueur and Blue Earth rivers.
U.S. Rep. Tim Walz calls the site a "treasured community resource."
But county officials say at least eight buildings must be removed because they violate federal flood plain rules, and if they stay, the county could be suspended from the National Flood Insurance Program.
That means about 60 Blue Earth County residents could lose their federally backed flood insurance. County Administrator Robert Meyer says he has to take the threat seriously.

When we first saw and sampled the HTC One X during Mobile World Congress about a month ago, we wondered how its 8-megapixel camera will fare in real life under natural photography conditions. The HTC blog has decided to let fans follow its adventure around the world, taking phones from the HTC One series along with a team of travelers and snapping photos along the way in a series called "Taking HTC One on the road."
"But we don't build phones for the press, we build them for you, our fans all around the world," the HTC blog read. "That's why we want to know what everyone thinks of them. So we've embarked on a round-the-world trip to bring HTC One directly to our fans."
The first stop in the blog series was Paris, France. The HTC representative stopped by to let fans take sample photos for themselves and ended up with this gorgeous photo of the iconic Musée du Louvre. Other sample photos included a macro shot and a black and white picture, both of which can be found in the official blog post. The blogger also writes that he seems to run into a lot of random HTC fans abroad, finding one Tae Kwon Do instructor whom he advertises to use the HTC One to help record class sessions to help his students review their forms and movements. The blogger also notes his next stop will be Warsaw, Poland.
In a separate post a few days later, photos emerge from the exotic southeastern tourist spot: Bangkok, Thailand. A different blogger says he had a few weeks to travel around Asia with the phones, and posted sample photos in low light condition, outdoors, indoors, and a macro shot out his food. One photo was of a temple that contains intricate jeweled glass details and molding, which the HTC One was able to capture. The blogger also noted how the phones' cameras had different settings for various conditions, such as "Vintage warm" filter that did well in sunny Thailand. He also said the battery was more than half full "late in the day," and went on to last the rest of their night. Of course, since this is posted from the official HTC blog, the representative may very well be bragging about his product, but we doubt he would lie about a feature and instead just not mention it if the battery actually sucked. Otherwise, he'll be upsetting many fans waiting for the HTC One to release.
The "Taking HTC One on the road" series aims to hit many other major cities, such as Seattle, Miami, London, New Delhi, San Paolo, Rome, and Taipei so expect photos from all these cities in the near future. The blog also asks fans to recommend a place they'd like to see the HTC folks stop by, so with enough persuasion, you may be the lucky person to spot an HTC blogger in your city and sample out the HTC One before it hits the market.

If there's any way to lessen the burden, I'd suggest it mightily. Nobody else is ever going to successfully run a game of this without giving themselves a headache every time they sit down to post a round.
I'd suggest allocating a little bit of the bookkeeping to each player, and having THEM make some of the rolls. The GM would still handle all of the world events (to include combat, which I agree also needs to be reworked slightly), but the players could, say, roll for their own traps and post that information with their own turns.
