GenLink on the LS-GL or LS-CL (manual installation)
At the moment, to get Gentoo running on the Linkstation Pro your only choice is manually unpack the latest Genlink_arm9 rootfs image to your /dev/sda2. The rootfs image consists of a typical Gentoo stage3, with very few modifications, and pre-configured to give you the possibility to emerge several binary packages, without having to compile them yourself.
Don't be scared off by the rather long instructions, actually they were even longer in their first version :-). Please make sure to read them through and understand them before starting to install Gentoo!
Get needed packages
Download all the packages needed in the further process, because in EM mode you have no way to get them easily.
Boot into EM mode
There are two ways to boot into EM-mode:
- The complex one uses several reboots according to EM-mode
- The simple one needs the ACP Commander. It allows to switch to EM mode via:
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t <linkstation-ip> -emmode
and opens an telnet server via:
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t <linkstation-ip> -o
Correcting System Date/Time
Before installing any files, it is a good idea to make sure that the system date and time are correct. If you don't do this, the files you install will be dated in the past or future, which can cause confusion later on. To check the system date and time, run:
If the date or time is incorrect, you can set the correct time with a command like:
date -s "Aug 11 16:12:34 2009"
Then, (try to) synchronize the hardware clock with the newly set system clock:
hwclock --systohc
Install Modified Initrd/Kernel
To boot another firmware, you need a modified Initrd. One initrd that will work is lb_worm's 'Modified Initrd'. Alternatively, you may install the Genlink tarball, which you only have to unpack over /dev/sda1 in order to have a custom initrd, a modified stock kernel with NFS and usb-printer support pre-configured to boot an alternative distribution. Note: Unpacking the Genlink tarball will overwrite your existing initrd.buffalo (initrd) and uImage.buffalo (kernel) files. It is highly recommended that you save backups of the stock initrd and kernel in case the modified initrd or GenLink kernel fail to boot.
Of course, if your box was already setup to boot an alternative firmware, you won't need to replace the stock kernel and initrd. This is most likely the case if the contents of your /dev/sda1 looks similar to:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Feb 21 07:29 . drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Feb 27 01:17 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 722 Feb 20 22:29 boot_options -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 20 15:36 hddrootmode -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4563579 Dec 27 23:29 initrd.buffalo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 84 Dec 15 23:27 linkstation_release drwx------ 2 root root 12288 Jan 21 10:19 lost+found -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb 21 07:29 rootfs_ok -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1942020 Dec 5 23:26 uImage.buffalo
The contents of the file boot_options should look similar to this:
## Correct MAC address setMAC -s 00:16:01:A4:E0:2A ## WOL port options in standby. Remove if WOL not required. WOL=7 ## Set to YES if not a stock box, comment out if stock box OTHER_DISTRIBUTION=YES ## Define root path, comment out if stock box ROOTPATH=/boot ## Advanced use only, specify system area format SYSTEM_FORMAT="mkfs.xfs -d agcount=4 -l size=32m" ## Default is 509MB, set to size required and following update the disk ## will be re-sized. WARNING: Is destructive. SDA2=909MB ## Set menu timeout (secs), default is 4. Disable, set to 0 or OFF. For ## EM mode set to EM MENU_TIMEOUT=0 ## Set to YES to delete hdd image following update or NO to leave it REMOVE_HDDROOTFS=YES ## Reset watchdog & fan as micocontroller does not do this after reboot micro_evtd -q -s 013501,013300
The bold and italic lines should be exactly as shown in order to boot an alternative firmware (distribution). The file rootfs_ok should also contain a fresh date, but you needn't worry about the contents of rootfs_ok right now. We'll come back to it later in these instructions, right before booting into the newly installed system.
Important Note For LS-CL Installs:
If you're installing GenLink to a LS-CL (the black LinkStation EZ), the kernel supplied in the Genlink tarball above will not boot. If you use the kernel in this GenLink tarball, the LS-CL will spin down the hard drive, the amber light will come on and stay on, and you will not be able to access the LinkStation. EM Mode isn't even accessible in this state, and you will have to remove the hard drive in order to replace the kernel with one that works. Using the stock kernel that came with the LS-CL, with the initrd.buffalo from the Genlink tarball, however should boot just fine on a LS-CL.
Re-partitioning (if you haven't previously)
While booted into EM-mode, if your /dev/sda2 partition wasn't already enlarged to at least 3-4GB, please do it now (check the respective wiki article about custom partitions on the LS-Pro if necessary, and format it to ext3 (or xfs, jfs if you know there are no more issues on arm9 with these filesystems)
Optional partitions (if not created previously)
While you're at resizing the big data partition anyway, create another logical partition behind it, of approx. 3-4GB for gentoo portage (if you won't, you still can make a symlink /mnt/xtra to point to some directory on the big partition. If you added that xtra partition, you might also want to add one for mounting later in /home to use it also for your workstations in the LAN if you make your LSpro a server. Format these partitions as ext3, too.
Installation, while still in EM boot
Actuially, this is where you can directly start in case you already did the previous steps some other time.
Mounting needed partitions
Mount the needed partitions (create mount points yourself, as necessary):
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /boot mount -t xfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2
Optional quick backup of old system on the same partition
If your system partition mounted under /mnt/sda2 still contains an old system at this point (simply because you didn't have to resize it just now, since you already did it in the past, or this is a re-installation, if you want to keep that old system at least until the new one boots, you can quickly backup that system to a 00_backup directory on the same partition:
mkdir -p /mnt/sda2/00_backup mv -r /mnt/sda2/* /mnt/sda2/00_backup
Ignore the error message about 00_backup, it's normal. Now your /mnt/sda2 should contain that backup directory, at most, your system partition is now ready for installation.
Downloading the latest rootfs image
If your initrd can't resolve names, put the download address in your /etc/hosts, it's only in RAM anyway. If you don't, your wget will be in trouble with the path on the virtual http server on Linkstationwiki:
echo '220.127.116.11 nas-central.org' >> /etc/hosts
Just paste the link from the internet browser from your desktop:
cd /mnt/sda2 wget http://buffalo.nas-central.org/download/LSPro_ARM9/Distributions/Genlink/Rootfs/GenLink-stage3.1_arm9-1.1_rc3-20080923.tar.bz2
Note: The stage 3 tarball listed above is based on an older (as of Aug 2009) version of Gentoo. If you want to use this stage 3 tarball with a current portage tree, some workarounds will be necessary. These workarounds are described in the appropriate sections below.
Note: You could also have downloaded the rootfs image to your data partition, maybe before booting into EM-mode or if you had the HDD mounted in your desktop, and now before unpacking you should then have made a symlink to the actual archive, on /mnt/sda2 to unpack it to the right place.
Unpacking the rootfs image
Make sure you execute the following command while your current directory is cd /mnt/sda2, regardless if the rootfs archive is a real file or a symlink pointing to another partition:
tar xvjpf ./GenLink-stage3.1_arm9-1.1_rc3-20080923.tar.bz2
Important: Adjusting the network setup before rebooting
If you can't use DHCP, or want to adjust the fallback IP in case DHCP does not work, edit network configuration in /mnt/sda2/etc/conf.d/net (in EM mode, your only choice is vi), either leave the DHCP configuration active, as it is, and only edit the fallbacks, or comment the DHCP section and uncomment the static configuration and edit it according to your LAN. The DNS entry at the end of the file is common for both scenarios, it will automatically overwrite /etc/resolv.conf, please adjust that, too.
If you want to change the hostname from the default GenLSPro, edit /mnt/sda2/etc/conf.d/hostname.
Important: Configuring the initrd to boot the HDD
Depending on the initrd used, you may have to adjust/touch the respective tracer files on your /dev/sda1 partition:
touch /boot/hddrootmode date > /boot/rootfs_ok
Important: Adjusting /mnt/sda2/etc/fstab according to your partition scheme
Regardless if you created the optional partition(s) above, edit /mnt/sda2/etc/fstab and uncomment/adapt the respective line(s) to mount /mnt/xtra, but most important adapt the filesystem types to those you've chosen for your partitions.
Important: If you're installing on a Linkstation Mini - micro_evtd & microapl do not work
At least for now, you can disable the micro_evtd service and any other call to microapl, as these are not needed on the Linkstation Mini to keep it alive. They are useless on LS Mini. Therefore, remove the micro_evtd service from the boot runlevel:
rm /mnt/sda2/etc/runlevels/boot/micro_evtd
and also comment the line in /mnt/sda2/etc/conf.d/local where microapl is called:
sed -i "s#/usr/sbin/microapl#\#/usr/sbin/microapl#" etc/conf.d/local
At this point, you may also edit the keymap in /mnt/sda2/etc/conf.d/keymaps if you want to use non-US when Gentoo boots.
Time to flush all buffers and reboot!!
sync reboot
First boot of the new Genlink rootfs - password "lspro"
While rebooting, after some while the power-LED will stop blinking and stay solid green, the boot process will last a bit longer for the first time, because SSHD will create new RSA keys, and finally you'll hear the I'm here sound signalizing that you're ready to ssh to your box. If you succeed to get a login prompt, log in as root with the password lspro, then you should see this:
Confirm System Date/Time
The first thing you should do after logging into GenLink is confirm that, after rebooting, the system still has the correct date and time, as described above. If the time or date shown is incorrect, set it to the current date and time.
Set Root Password
The second thing you should do after logging into GenLink is set a password for root:
As always, make sure to use a password that can be remembered reliably, but is hard to guess.
Symlinking /mnt/xtra if not created as separate partition
If you did not create /mnt/xtra while editing /etc/fstab before first booting the new Genlink, then just make a symlink /mnt/xtra point to some directory on your big partition;
Initializing Portage
If this is your first Genlink installation on this Linkstation, or you didn't keep the optional gentoo partition from a previous Genlink installation, you have to initialize portage by running
otherwise just go on to the next step. If you had to start the script, you can take a 20 minutes brake now, after that you may continue with the next step. If you see some errors/warnings like these when the script says Populating portage for the first time..., just ignore them, they're normal given the fact that there is no portage tree yet:
!!! Unable to parse profile: '/etc/make.profile' !!! ParseError: Parent '/usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/arm/2008.0/server' not found: '/mnt/xtra/gentoo/portage_overlays/layman/orion5x/profiles/orion5x/parent' WARNING: repository at /mnt/xtra/gentoo/portage is missing a repo_name entry
Finishing basic system (stage3) installation
If you're using the stage 3 tarball listed above, you'll have to downgrade portage to version 220.127.116.11 before you'll be able to emerge updated packages. The version of portage in the tarball (version 2.2_pre-something) doesn't support EAPI 2, but version 220.127.116.11 does. As many of the packages in the current portage tree are only offered under EAPI 2, you first need to emerge portage 22.214.171.124 from source. Fortunately, this is quick and easy:
emerge --oneshot portage
Due to a problem with the way portage 220.127.116.11 handles dependencies, additional workarounds may be necessary. For example, I had to mask sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.8 (which depends on a masked package) and sys-devel/gcc-4.2.4-r1 (which segfaults during compilation):
echo =sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.8 >> /etc/portage/package.mask/common echo =sys-devel/gcc-4.2.4-r1 >> /etc/portage/package.mask/common
Check the output from emerge to see if it complains about anything else in the portage tree. (It likes to do that.) While this step may require some patience (and coffee), resolving these dependencies generally isn't too hard.
Now, you may emerge the basic system from a combination of pre-built packages (hosted at linkstationwiki), or from source (for those packages which haven't yet been prebuilt). You tell portage to use binary packages with the --getbinpkg and --usepkg. (See emerge --help for details.) The --getbinpkgonly and --usepkgonly tell portage to use binary packages only. However, as of Aug 2009, a binary-only install with this stage 3 tarball is no longer possible. Because of issues in the current portage tree, some of the packages will have to be built from source. So, we'll be using --getbinpkg and --usepkg, and not --getbinpkgonly/--usepkgonly.
Finally, if you add the --pretend switch to your portage command, portage will not actually install any software, but will just show you what packages and dependencies it would emerge:
emerge --getbinpkg --usepkg --update --pretend --verbose system
Note that, when using portage 220.127.116.11, the final argument to the portage command is system. If you're still using portage 2.2, the final argument should be @system instead. system and @system are not package themselves, but rather define a whole set of the basic packages required to boot and run a linux system.
If you omit --pretend and --verbose, portage will really start merging all those packages:
emerge --getbinpkgonly --usepkgonly --update system
If you're lucky enough to be able to do a binary-only install, this should take maybe 5 to 10 minutes. If you're using a combination of prebuilt and source packages, it will take 5 or 6 hours. If you're building from source only, it will take even longer. Go play with the kids. Say hi to your wife. Go for a bicycle ride.
After merging the system packages, timezone-data will have been installed. Now, you can set your timezone by replacing the file /etc/localtime with a symlink to the proper timezone. Mine looks like this:
/etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
Setting up layman, the portage overlay manager
In order to get the buffalo-patched linux headers and other packages which had to be adjusted for usage and compilation on the Linkstation Pro from our SF.net overlay later, we want to get the overlay manager layman:
emerge --getbinpkgonly --usepkgonly layman --pretend --verbose emerge --getbinpkgonly --usepkgonly layman
Note: In order to merge layman with a current (Aug 2009) portage tree, you need to merge it without the subversion, git, or test USE flags:
USE="-subversion -git -test" emerge app-portage/layman
After emerging Layman you will get a notification that a config file in etc needs updating. Run etc-update and discard the updated config file, to keep the original as the original file has been edited for the linkstation overlay already. More on this...
After binary emerging layman, you can check what remote overlays (alternative portage repositories) are currently known to layman:
layman -L
You can also verify if our SF.net overlay is already configured (should be):
layman -l
should see something like
* orion5x [Subversion] (source: http://linkstationwiki.svn...)
which you also should have seen on top of the output of layman -L. You can also try to sync the orion5x overlay to the latest version, by issuing
layman -S
which would sync all overlays configured locally (at this time, we only have one, if there where more, you can specify which one to sync with lowercase -s, please check layman --help.
Before emerging further pacakges, a note about configuration files
You'll be emerging (installing) packages now, please remember as a rule of thumb, that portage will inform you sometimes after emerging about configuration files in /etc that need updating, and that you should run etc-update to update them. Running this script is convenient, and also recommended, as sometimes configuration files really need to be upgraded to newer versions (some packages might even work badly or not at all if you won't update the configuration files). etc-update will notice if a configuration file has too complex changes compared to the previous version and can't just be overwritten, and will prompt you to decide what to do about those files. Therefore, it is good practice to:
- try to postpone customizations to configuration files or scripts you intend to do yourself, after upgrading them;
- in case of being prompted with files you know they have been customized (for those you know they where left as they originally came and you are sure you never customized them, just overwrite them), cancel etc-update, go and edit the new replacement files (they start with ._cfg0000_...) to manually migrate your old settings in the new files, run etc-update again and now you can safely overwrite them all.
These being said, please also consider as customized, the following files, take care when updating them, either keep their old versions (only recommended between minor updates), or manually migrate their settings, paying very special attention to the indicated lines, they have to remain like this:
- /etc/layman/layman.cfg:
storage : file://%(storage)s/overlay_orion5x.xml ... overlays : http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/layman-global.txt file://%(storage)s/overlay_orion5x.xml
- /etc/conf.d/local:
There we have some very important calls to prevent the failed hddmode-boots counter in the /boot partition reach 3 and have the LSpro boot into EM mode, and also deleting the udev rule file which might at some point rename the eth0 network interface to eth1 and leave the box unreachable in the LAN...
local_start() { # This is a good place to load any misc programs # on startup (use &>/dev/null to hide output) # want some kernel debugging over serial console (BREAK)? echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq echo 9 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk # signalize we're up & running /usr/sbin/microapl -a bz_imhere 120 am4 d4 f4 am4 d4 f4 dm4 dm4 f4 a4 am4 &>/dev/null # Update the filesystem okay flag and delete boot mode trace files # on /boot to prevent the boot failure counter reach 3 when we # in fact booted Gentoo ok date > /boot/rootfs_ok rm -f /boot/rootfs_booting rm -f /boot/initrdmode rm -f /boot/boot.log touch /boot/hddrootmode # avoid udev renaming 'eth0' bug by deleting this file: rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules # We should always return 0 return 0 } local_stop() { # This is a good place to unload any misc. # programs you started above. # avoid udev renaming 'eth0' bug by deleting this file: rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules # We should always return 0 return 0 }
Therefore, just delete the new proposed ._cfg0000_local file to keep ours. Of course, you can comment out other things like the I'm here melody...
Emerging further useful binary packages
Continue emerging further packages now. Since I want to use postfix as my SMTP agent later, I'd emerge postfix now, otherwise simple smtp would be pulled and compiled due to dependencies of other packages. Well, it's up to you if you emerge postfix now or skip to MC:
emerge --getbinpkgonly --usepkgonly postfix --pretend --verbose emerge --getbinpkgonly --usepkgonly postfix
Midnight Commander and all its dependencies (including really large packages, like samba, cups, ghostscript, php5, apache), plus lots of other useful programs (more to follow) are just waiting at linkstationwiki to be binary emerged:
emerge --getbinpkgonly --usepkgonly \ mc pkgconfig nfs-utils ntp cvs proftpd webmin dos2unix unix2dos screen \ ufed vixie-cron metalog jfsutils gentoolkit genlop phpldapadmin \ --pretend --verbose
They're many, huh? Now get them:
emerge --getbinpkgonly --usepkgonly \ mc pkgconfig nfs-utils ntp cvs proftpd webmin dos2unix unix2dos screen \ ufed vixie-cron metalog jfsutils gentoolkit genlop phpldapadmin \
And there are still other binary packages, like
ddclient hplip sqlite (3) mt-daapd mldonkey squirrelmail amule (daemon & webui only) sys-apps/ksysguard (not kde-base/ksysguard, see KDE ksysguardd daemon only on the Linkstation)
and the list may continue, please check the contents of the remote binpkg directory (BINHOST, in terms of Using PORTAGE BINHOST)
Monitoring Hard Drive Temperature
If your LS-GL/LS-CL contains a SATA hard drive that supports S.M.A.R.T, you may want to emerge sys-apps/smartmontools. Note: in order for smartctl to recognize a drive attached to the Marvell SATA controller in NAS, you need to pass it the -d marvell option. For example, if you want to see the SMART attributes and values for /dev/sda, you would run:
smartctl -a -d marvell /dev/sda
One (rather important) SMART attribute you may want to keep an eye on is the one for hard drive temperature. On many drives, the value of attribute 194 is the temperature of the drive in Celsius degrees. If you prefer Fahrenheit, you can convert to Fahrenheit degrees using the formula: F = (C * 9)/5 + 32.
Important Security Note for NFS Users
The the stage 3 tarball from above contains an /etc/exports file with insecure defaults. If you're going to merge net-fs/nfs-utils, make sure to delete, edit, or otherwise fix /etc/exports before you start your NFS server.
Create whatis Database
The whatis and apropos commands provide a useful, searchable index to the man pages on your system. However, to use them, you must first generate an index of the man pages on your system:
makewhatis -w
Now, typing whatis keyword or apropos keyword should return a list of matching man pages.
Start & configure automatic start for cron and logger
As on any GNU/Linux, service scripts are in /etc/init.d and you can look what's already there, the Gentoo runlevels you should be interested in are /etc/runlevels/boot and /etc/runlevels/default. Add the cron and logger services to the default runlevel:
rc-update add vixie-cron default rc-update add metalog default
Start them in this uptime, too (cron will also pull the logger):
/etc/init.d/vixie-cron start
Final words
- Please test how packages actually run and report problems.
- Don't forget to secure your system (especially if using it as a server).
- If you want to share your emerged packages because you consider them useful and compilation took a long time (you can always check with genlop -t package-name) , and feel you might want to change USE flags, try to get away with changing them only in /etc/portage/package.use for that specific package and contact someone with developer access to upload the binpkg to the repository.
- Add services, emerge normally (with compiling) new packages, play with other things, read some Gentoo docs if you're new to Gentoo and have fun with it!

Grade - the physical condition assigned to a card, either by a price guide, or through the assessment made by sellers.
Graded Card - a card which has been assessed for condition by an independent source and given a ranking, with 10 being the best. The card is then placed in a hermetically-sealed plastic holder with the grade designation and player name, card company, card number, and serial number printed on the encasement.
HARTLAND STATUESHartland produced it's first baseball statues back in the early 60's. Sports Collectibles Digest stated that the 1960's Mickey Mantle Hartland is the single most popular plastic sports statue ever produced ! In 1988 Hartland created their 25th Anniversary Editions which, except for some very minor details, were identical to the original.
Hartland partnered with America's leading hobby-periodical publisher, Krause Publications, to create the SCD Authentic series offering the original 18 as you've never seen them with each statue dramatically different from prior releases. They are amazingly beautiful and exquisitely detailed in their road uniforms with painted pinstripes and wood grained bats making them a unique collectible opportunity for both veteran collectors and Hartland newcomers alike.
Limited to only 2,500 pieces each, these statues are BRAND NEW, MINT and in THEIR ORIGINAL BOXES !!!

1964 Topps Stand-UpsTopps most popular 1960's test issue !!!
Blank-backed and unnumbered, these standard size cards were called "Stand-Ups". "Stand-Ups" refers to a type of card that was die cut around the player's picture. The background section then could be folded in half, so the card could stand up by itself while the player's picture stood alone. Directions for folding are on the background and when folded only the green background remains. 1934-36 Batter Up and the 1951 Topps All-Star sets are 2 other popular standup issues.
Thanks to the green and yellow borders and the likelihood that most cards have been heavily folded, 1964 Stand-Ups are extremely difficult to obtain in top grades.
The 77 card set features color photographs of the player on yellow and green backgrounds. 22 of the 77 cards were single printed making them twice as scarce and much higher in demand.
The set is packed with Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey and more !!!

The PCGS CoinFacts Rarity Scale™ is a tool that can be used to assess the relative rarity of all United States coins. The scale runs from 1.0 to 10.0. The coin issues that have the highest possible rarity, i.e. only one surviving specimen known to exist, are assigned the rarity of 10.0, expressed as "CFR 10.0." Any coin for which the estimated number of survivors exceeds one million specimens is assigned the rarity of 1.0, expressed as "CFR 1.0."
The PCGS CoinFacts Rarity Scale™ can be used to compare overall rarity of a coin in all grades or rarity in certain grades. For example, for many coins listed in the PCGS Rare Coin Market Report™ the rarity estimate is given for all surviving specimens in all grades ("All"), all surviving specimens that grade 60 or better ("60ob"), and all surviving specimens grade 65 or better ("65ob").
The figures for the survival estimates from which the PCGS CoinFacts Rarity Scale™ ratings are derived represent the consensus opinion of the PCGS CoinFacts Board of Experts. PCGS CoinFacts maintains an internal data base of survival estimates for all United States coins. Members of the PCGS CoinFacts Board of Experts (which include many of the top rare coin experts of all-time) list their estimates of survival rates in this data base. The figures used in the PCGS Rare Coin Market Report represent the average of the experts' opinions. Note that the "survival rating for every U.S. coin" is an ongoing project which has just been recently started. There are a few coins in this initial issue of the PCGS Rare Coin Market Report that already have survival ratings. More will be added in each new issue as the experts continue their work, and rarity ratings may even change as experts compare notes and make adjustments.
Have fun reviewing the experts' ratings for your favorite coins!
The above represents a numerical approach to the relative rarity question.For a descriptive approach, we would suggest the following adjectives.

Visit our web site for more info on vintage and current
baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
(part 1)
Common - any card which is not short-printed, an insert, a bonus card, or has an insertion ratio. In short, the cards that comprise the manufacturer's basic set.
Condition - the physical appearance of a card/collectible. Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, the presence of foreign material, signs of misuse are the critical components. Along with rarity/scarcity, it is a major factor in determining the value of a card or collectible.
Crease - an obvious paper wrinkle defect usually caused by bending the card [i.e.- the result of being tortured on a rear-wheel bicycle spoke during the early '50s and '60s].
Die-Cut - an insert/parallel card that differs from the basic card by a process of the manufacturer "cutting" portions of the card revealing a special design. Recent issues may also be individually and serially-numbered.
1974 Topps StampsTopps released this 240 stamp issue in 1974. These 1 by 1 1/2 stamp are unnumbered and feature a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored oval at the bottom of the stamp. Very similar to their 1969 Topps Stamps issue, the 1974 Topps Stamps were issued in panels of 12 stamps. Alomg with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 stamp albums, one per team, to store the stamps. Due to double prints and different combinations of stamps on panels there are actually 24 different 12-Stamp panels. The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue and were sold in packs containing one 12-Stamp panel along with one stamp album.
The 1974 Topps Stamps set is packed with SuperStars including over 23 members of the Baseball Hall-of-Fame with greats such as Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell, Tom Seaver and plenty more !!! The set even contains seldom seen ROOKIES of Dave Winfield and Dave Parker.

1974 Topps Baseball Stamps checklist and prices
1964 Topps Stand-UpsTopps most popular 1960's test issue !!!
Blank-backed and unnumbered, these standard size cards were called "Stand-Ups". "Stand-Ups" refers to a type of card that was die cut around the player's picture. The background section then could be folded in half, so the card could stand up by itself while the player's picture stood alone. Directions for folding are on the background and when folded only the green background remains. 1934-36 Batter Up and the 1951 Topps All-Star sets are 2 other popular standup issues.
Thanks to the green and yellow borders and the likelihood that most cards have been heavily folded, 1964 Stand-Ups are extremely difficult to obtain in top grades.
The 77 card set features color photographs of the player on yellow and green backgrounds. 22 of the 77 cards were single printed making them twice as scarce and much higher in demand.
The set is packed with Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey and more !!!

Newton County commissioners reviewed the 2013 budget Thursday during the budget hearing and received a "good" report.
Newton County commissioners reviewed the 2013 budget Thursday during the budget hearing and received a "good" report.
Newton County Clerk Kay Baum read some of the budget message during the start of the meeting.
"The budget anticipates revenue of $8,164,890.83 for 2013 budget year," she said. "This amount, together with a carryover of $1,698,553.26, will give the general revenue $9,863,444.09 total funds for the 2013 budget year. Estimated expenditures budgeted in general revenue are $9,412,138.89, which includes $203,252 and $500,000 appropriated in the contingency/capital improvement fund and emergency fund respectively, the unused portion of which will become part of the carryover at the end of 2013."
Referring to the carryover of more than $1.6 million, Newton County Presiding Commissioner Marilyn Ruestman said, "that is a very comfortable place to be. I think that this particular county based on our operating expenditures should be $1.5 as almost a minimum all the way up to about $2 million, is my comfort range. In the past, we have been $2.2 million and then when I came in 2010, which was a very down year, we were under $1 million, which makes me very uncomfortable. I think if you go below $1.5 million, then you are really forced to look at cost of living, you are forced to look at holidays, you are forced to look at employment."
Ruestman said during her first year as presiding commissioner, the county was considering reducing jobs. She said the commission's main goal was not to, and they did not.
Another aspect addressed in the budget dealt with a cost of living increase. Employees received a 1.5 percent cost of living increase in 2013.
"We did that last year," Ruestman said. "We were a little more careful this year since we are on a little bit of a downturn, we want to play it safe, but we were able to offer 1.5 percent cost of living increase for this year. Last year I believe it was 3 percent. And last year, we were right in the middle of a pretty big spike in our revenue. And so we felt pretty comfy with that. We just want to be careful and then we will review it again at the end of the year, when we start reviewing the budget again."
Another aspect of the budget was the health insurance premiums were capped at $405 with the employee contributing $18 per month to their health insurance coverage starting in 2011. Premiums remained the same for 2012 and 2013.
Another highlight was the roadwork. According to the report, in June 2012, the county received the first proceeds from the 1/4th of 1 percent road sales tax that was approved by the voters in November 2011. Each road district had projects ready to go as the funds became available: Norway Road in the Neosho Special Road District; Kodiak Road in the Joplin Special; Antelope and Kentucky roads in the Seneca Road District; and Panda and Mallard roads in the Diamond Special Road District. The County Common Road District was able to catch up on a number of projects that had been put on hold due to lack of funding, such as Robin Lane, Rowan Drive and Starling Road, to name a few. The bridge crew completed three new bridges as well as a long list of maintenance projects outlined by the 2011 Bridge Inspection Report. In 2013, the sales tax fund will reflect a full year's funding, and many more projects will be completed by each road district.
"Actually, I didn't expect that we would get that much done by the first of the year," the presiding commissioner said. "I really thought that we would start about this coming May."
District 2 Commissioner Jim Jackson made the motion to formally adopt the 2013 Newton County budget and Ruestman, Alan Cook, District 1 commissioner and Jackson approved the budget.
"Overall, I feel like it is a great budget," Ruestman said. "It is very positive. The county looks very stable and we don't anticipate any upcoming problems."

After selling its last distribution center in New Jersey to consolidate operations into Philadelphia in 2005, wholesale florist Pennock struggled to retain customers in the state, particularly along the Atlantic and Cape May county shorelines.
To get their business back and improve service to South Jersey, as well as parts of Philadelphia, the company will open a 24,000-square-foot warehouse in Pennsauken — just blocks from the site of its previous one — on the first business day of the new year.
"As we're seeing some good growth potential up past Trenton to North Jersey, it just makes sense for us to be back in Jersey," said Tom Logue, vice president of Pennock. "We just feel we've been losing touch with customers in that market, and part of it was they don't want to pay tolls to pick things up from us."
Though Pennock declined state and local grants to relocate to Pennsauken, citing higher costs in wages under their stipulations, Logue said he "still thought it was good idea to move back" to New Jersey even if no incentives had been offered. But Logue said the company accepted an energy grant from the state to renovate the facility and make it more sustainable and environmentally friendly than the building it opened in the mid-1980s, which was located in the same industrial park.
Although Pennock originally planned to operate the Pennsauken distribution center by Sept. 1, Logue said the company was delayed in obtaining permits for building improvements from the municipal government, so it has decided to "stick it out until after the Christmas holidays, when we do a lot of business out of our existing locations."
But Logue said the delay has a silver lining, as the company has more time to advertise job openings throughout the southern part of the state and hire 40 employees at the Pennsauken site by March 31 — as well as seek out opportunities for more growth. For instance, the company had a Newark location, but closed it in the early '90s "because we were in a really, really bad part of town. But now there's such tremendous opportunity up there that we're certainly considering moving back," Logue said. "We already have the opportunity to reach customers in North Jersey from our Long Island facility, but to be able to service Manhattan from a North Jersey location like Newark would be even better for us."
Aside from Pennsauken and Philadelphia, the company has seven wholesale locations in Pittsburgh; Baltimore; Jacksonville, Fla.; Orlando, Fla.; Newington, Va.; West Springfield, Mass.; and Plainview, N.Y.

Visit our web site for more info on vintage and current
baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
Like all collectibles, some sports cards increase in value and a few can become very valuable. Determining a card's value is based on a number of factors including the popularity of the player, the card's scarcity, it's condition, and demand among collectors. A card can be scarce but if there's no demand for it, it's value may not be to great.
Q: What are some of the ways to collect cards ? There are several different ways to collect cards. For example, you can try to collect all the cards in a given set. Or you can focus on cards of your favorite team or even just your favorite player.
Some people only collect Rookie cards while others only collect cards of Hall-of-Famers. Because of the high cost of vintage sports cards today a growingly popular way to collect sportscards is "Type Collecting".
"Type Collecting" is collecting just one of each "type" (or different issue) made. To keep costs down, on some of the scarcer more expensive issues you can simply add a less expensive "common" to your collection. While on more common or recent issues you can select your favorite player or a card from your favorite team.
No matter how you collect - the key is to have fun !
1967 Topps WHO AM I ?NM/MINT to MINT COMPLETE 1976 Crane Potato Chip Football Discs Set.
It's easy to see why the 1967 Topps "Who Am I? set is a favorite of both sports and non- sport collectors. The set's 44 cards feature mostly important figures from world history but what makes this set even more popular was the inclusion of 4 of baseball's most popular players: Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Sandy Koufax !!!
The players picture on the front is covered with a scratch-off disguise with silly, exaggerated features like hair, moustaches, hats, noses... and clues to help kids identify the famous person pictured. The backs contained additional clues and instructions to "Scratch off disguise on front to discover Who I Am. Use a coin or fingernail."
Cards with their scratch-off coating intact are worth many, many times cards with the coatings removed. For example, NM/MINT Babe Ruth with the coating is in the $200-$400 range while a NM/MINT Ruth with the coating removed is closer to $25.

1961 Topps Baseball Cards AUTOGRAPHED Set info/informationBy now you all heard of the rash of counterfeit autographs on the market.
The following autographs all come with auction house LOA's (Letters of Authenticity) from the top authenticators in the hobby - PSA/DNA or James Spence !!!
The 1961 Topps baseball card set included 587 standard size 2˝" x 3˝" cards (#1-#598 with several skipped numbers). 2 cards were accidently numbered #463, one of them (the Braves Team card was supposed to be card #426).
The 1961 Topps set included the following special "subsets":
* League Leaders (10 cards)
* World Series highlights (10 cards)
* Highlights (11 cards)
* MVP's (16 cards)
* Checklists (7 cards plus several variations)
* Team cards (xx cards)
* Special Multi-Player cards (xx cards)
* Managers (xx cards)
* Topps Rookie All-Star Trophies (xx cards)
* Sporting News All-Stars (#566-#589)
1961 Topps was the first of the very popular and continuing Topps Rookie All-Star Trophies subsets. Cards from the last series (#523-#589) are scarce "High Numbers" making the set fairly expensive to complete.
MLB Baseball expansion led to one of the least attractive aspects of the 1961 Topps baseball card set. The American League made several changes. The Los Angeles Angels were added, the Washington Senators became the Minnesota Twins and a new franchise was granted to the Washington Senators who also debuted in 1961. Possibly because of these team changes, many players had their portrait photos taken without their baseball caps. Not only did most of the players look awful without their caps, they looked more like your old, not so handsome uncle then athletes!
Card backs were black print on an army green background on a dark card stock making them somewhat difficult to read. TOP ROOKIES: #35 Ron Santo, #141 Billy Williams, #417 Juan Marichal, Willie Davis, Zoilo Versalles & Jim Maloney; are popular players but still reasonably priced.
More interesting tid-bits from the 1961 Topps set:
Card #1 features All-American basketball player Dick Groat
Collectors of 1961 Topps cards may also want to take a look at 3 other baseball issues Topps released that year: a Topps Dice Game, Topps Magic Rub-Offs and a series of Topps Stamps.
Although some dealers and collectors consider this set boring, with it's clean design, many special subsets
and multiple cards of some of the games top stars including 6 Mantle's I rate it much higher.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Islandgirl777 from Comfortable, classic, pretty. This is a lovely shirt. It's very soft and comfy. It has stretch and is a little lower as a U neck shirt - but it's very flattering as these cuts often are. I bought several colors as the style itself will be a classic over the years. Don't hesitate to buy this one before they are gone!

Rated 5 out of 5 by JerseyDogMom from Pretty, casual top Really pretty top with the right amount of stretch. Looks great with jeans and can be dressed up or down. I bought the red and the purple and was satisfied with both colors. The rhinestones are a nice quality and add just the right amount of sparkle to brighten up the top.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Tutu from Not Happy I have lost a lot of weight over the last year and I have been wanting a Bebe top for years. I'm not happy with it. For an XL it is so tight. I was hoping for a material that was soft but it feels like my Mother's clothes. I don't think I'll buy anymore for Bebe. For the price I didn't get what I was hoping for. This was CHEAP material. I don't mind paying more but I want something better than this. It's like I went to downtown LA and got a cheap top.... but I paid way too much for this top.

Perhaps the bad news delivered to the Crowder Lady 'Riders basketball team on Tuesday night played a role in their performance on Wednesday.
Perhaps the bad news delivered to the Crowder Lady 'Riders basketball team on Tuesday night played a role in their performance on Wednesday.
After receiving word that one of their leaders, sophomore point guard Sarah Sagely, would miss the remainder of the season after suffering a knee injury on Saturday, the Lady 'Riders went on the road and lost for just the fifth time all season and snapped an 11-game winning streak as they fell to Moberly Area Community College, 74-59.
The loss of Sagely, coupled with the absence of fellow sophomore Veronica Amos, who's also been battling injuries, has admittedly had an affect on the team, says coach Tina Robbins. A good bit of news is that Amos should return by Saturday's home game against Three Rivers.
"We've had people out at different points all season long for different things, and every time people have stepped up," Robbins said. "That's going to have to happen again. It's hard on all of us, but we'll have to fight through it."
Robbins and her team were making no excuses for Wednesday's performance, however.
"We didn't play real well in the first half defensively," Robbins said. "The second half was more indicative of our defensive effort."
Moberly led 50-28 at halftime.
Credit the Lady Greyhounds, who turned in a lights-out performance from the field as they shot 62-percent in the first half and 54-percent for the game. They also made 53-percent of their 3-point attempts (9-for-17), and shot 92-percent from the free throw line.
That's tough to guard.
The Lady Greyhounds had five players score in double figures, as Marida Lewis led the team with 14 points, followed by Alexis Newbolt with 13, Kelsey Williams 12, and Shanebian Holden and Morgan Vetter with 11 apiece. Also scoring for Moberly was Angel Woods four, Akiela Rucker two, Alira Mihocic five and Brittany Rowell two.
Terai Sadler paced the Lady 'Riders with 25 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals. Seleena Neal followed with nine points and two steals. Dorian Briggs and Caprese Marshall both had eight points. Camila Lacerda contributed six points, three assists and three steals. Megan Ritter had three points.
Crowder (24-5) will look to get back on track when they host Three Rivers in their home finale at 2 p.m. Saturday on Sophomore Day.

Prior to Mel Brooks, no community or professional actor aspired to be a Hotsy Totsy Goosesteppin' Nazi. Now his manic creation, THE PRODUCERS, is on every thespo's bucket list.
New Candlelight in Arden has staged some hilarious shows the past 3 seasons but this may be the Third Reichian New World Order of them all.
Consider the genius erupting from this frenzied and fertile mind allied with the stupefaction and surprise of Old Faithful: the outlandish idea of constructing a musical comedy around one of the most vilified fiends in world history. And then achieving it with the seesaw balance of nuance AND take-no-enemies absurdist humor.
Technically this was a daunting task for Director Robert Kelly, the show having as many rapid fire scene changes as laughs. (ok..that ratio is off by a wide margin!) Kelly met the problem by employing monitors flown on above each end and used them as theatre marquis to buy valuable seconds. Kudos to Costume Designer Timothy Lamott Cannon for wrangling more costumes in more scenes with more actors than Aisle Say recalls in the last decades of NCT. (Cannon doubled himself by appearing as the outrageously flamboyant Carmen Ghia, the description of which would send me back to my thesaurus.)
Dear sister Liz and I shared the table with a guest who had never seen THE PRODUCERS in any form. From opening number to the last "Goodbye", she was a one lady laugh riot and Bob Kelly should have paid her to attend. When the production number of the old ladies and their walkers hit, I began madly searching for an oxygen tank on the premise. She really lost it on that one.
This is why this show is so very special in the lexicon of Broadway...the shock and awe.
(New NCT choreographer Peter Rios used Newark DE native and multiple Tony Award winner Sue Stroman's dance charts).
The five leads were spectacularly cast. David Wills (Max) is a demanding role. His character is frenetic; his cunning eyes and conniving demeanor never are afforded a moment of respite. His "Betrayed" in Act II is a veritable tour de force that every actor covets in his lifetime.
Anthony Connell (Leo) continues to make a deep impression on Aisle Say. From the strong lead in MISS SAIGON, to a cross dresser in WEDDING SINGER and now to this wimpish accountant, Connell displays a rare gift to channel each character. His voice is dynamite.
Ulla (Lindsay Mauck)...oh, I will regret saying this...but is so so wonderfully type cast! Her Swedish accent was hysterical. The majority of men in the audience pine over the thought of her fixation on 11am and will forever think of that hour with an erupting new appreciation.
The second most response from the human laugh machine sitting came with Jeffrey Lanigan's (Franz Liebkind) "In Old Bavaria". One would assume he studied for this role by watching "The Guns of Navarone". He parodied the Nazi character perfectly.
Roger DeBris (Dewey Oriente) was the most outlandish of them all. going from a peacockish director to an Adolph Hitler like you have never envisioned. For those readers who saw the movie, in the "Springtime for Hitler" production number, the camera pans to the audience where 500 guests sit catatonic with their jaws dropped to their stomachs. That would have been the reaction of the NCT audience but we were laughing too hard.
The ONLY dinner theatre in the state. A superb value!

Last year the draft in franchise mode was a complete farce - you select a handful of player to 'scout' and during the season you find out stats for kicking field goals and punting... even if you're scouting a QB! It made the draft a total crapshoot but for the 5 players you could 'unlock' at the pro-day stage.
Has this new system improved things? I know you're spending points on revealing certain starts but does this work? I'm suspicious because I suspect there won't be enough points to truly get an angle on more than 5-6 players again... making the draft - once more - a crap shoot. I only play Madden for franchise mode to build a roster via the draft.

Turnovers haven't been a huge problem, either. 'Course, I'm not a hardcore gamer, All-Pro for me.
I can run an annoying effective dink 'n dunk offense, though. Think I drove some people crazy with the Texans last year with my four or five minute 80 yard drives, ha ha.

I play the same game again, this time on All-Pro, and damned if I didn't throw 6 picks and receive a beatdown by 30 points.
There's gotta be a middle ground...?!

Below are some tidbits on baseball and sportscard collecting.
Visit our web site for more info on vintage and current
baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
Like all collectibles, some sports cards increase in value and a few can become very valuable. Determining a card's value is based on a number of factors including the popularity of the player, the card's scarcity, it's condition, and demand among collectors. A card can be scarce but if there's no demand for it, it's value may not be to great.
Q: What are some of the ways to collect cards ? There are several different ways to collect cards. For example, you can try to collect all the cards in a given set. Or you can focus on cards of your favorite team or even just your favorite player.
Some people only collect Rookie cards while others only collect cards of Hall-of-Famers. Because of the high cost of vintage sports cards today a growingly popular way to collect sportscards is "Type Collecting".
"Type Collecting" is collecting just one of each "type" (or different issue) made. To keep costs down, on some of the scarcer more expensive issues you can simply add a less expensive "common" to your collection. While on more common or recent issues you can select your favorite player or a card from your favorite team.
No matter how you collect - the key is to have fun !
1959 Fleer Ted WilliamsTed Williams was one of the greatest hitters ever to play the game ! The 'Splendid Splinter' played from 1939-1942 and 1946-1960 all with the Boston Red Sox. He missed 1943 thru 1945 due to military duty when he was a pilot during the wars. For his career he hit .344 with 521 home runs. Ted Williams was one of the biggest stars baseball has ever seen, and his baseball cards remain very popular and valuable.
Ted's rookie card was in 1950 Bowman and he was exclusive with Bowman from 1950 thru 1954. In 1954 he also allowed Topps to make his cards which they did from 1954 thru 1958.
In 1959 Fleer signed Ted Williams away from Topps and assumed the star Ted Williams would be retiring, put out an entire 80-card set of cards highlighting Ted Williams and illustrating his life both in and out of baseball. Williams decided late in the fall to resign for another year perhaps damaging the sets impact. Today these cards remain extremely popular with most of the cards in teh set still quite affordable.
There is one very rare card in this set, #68 picturing Ted with Bucky Harris.
UNFORTUNATELY Topps had Bucky Harris under exclusive contract and
Fleer had to quickly halt production of this card making it a significant
SHORT PRINT. Only a few made it out to the public. This card is quite rare,
hardly ever seen and a plain old simple checklist making it the perfect
candidate for counterfeiting.
Other interesting cards are those that picture Ted with Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, Sam Snead and Jim Thorpe. In addition, cards of Ted fishing or with his airplane are also very popular.

1959 Fleer Ted Williams baseball cards Checklist and Prices
1963 Fleer BaseballIn an attempt by Fleer to circumvent Topps exclusive rights to baseball cards, Fleer issued their 1963 baseball cards with cookies instead of gum. It is commonly thought that the 1963 Fleer baseball card issue was intended to be a much larger set issued in multiple series but Topps sued Fleer after their first series was released stopping further production. Due to Topps deep pockets Fleer soon pulled the set from the market and cancelled their plans for the remaining series leaving this very, very popular set at just 66 cards plus one unnumbered checklist.
But what a 66 cards !!! The 1963 Fleer Cards are attractive and feature an extremely high percentage of stars. Some of the top stars in the 1963 Fleer baseball card set are Brooks Robinson, Willie Mays, Carl Yastrzemski, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Don Drysdale and Warren Spahn.. The set also included 2 very scare Short Prints, Joe Adcock and an unnumbered checklist.
The most interesting card in this set is the Maury Wills Rookie card. Even though Wills started his major league career with the Dodgers way back in 1959 quickly becoming a superstar, his 1963 Fleer card is considered his rookie card ! How is this possible ? Well, back in 1959, 1960 and 1961, Topps did not consider Wills worthy enough to have a baseball card.
As hobby lore has it: Needless to say, Wills was very upset at this slight from Topps. After Wills won the 1962 N.L. MVP award, Topps quickly came a courting but Wills answered with a large "NO". From 1961 thru 1966, Wills prevented Topps from making any of his baseball cards. Wills and Topps finally made up making his 1967 Topps high number short print his first Topps card and also his most expensive card. Adding interest to the Wills baseball card story, Post Cereal released a Maury Wills card in their 1962 set making that the earliest Maury Wills rookie card. Wills was also pictured on a special 1960 Topps card featuring the 1959 World Series. The card features Luis Aparicio stealing 2nd base with Wills pictured trying to make the tag.
Much of the above is true but Wills has said there was no "fued" with Topps and that he simply had signed exclusive agreements with Fleer.

For anyone embarrassed about collecting glass unicorn figurines or reading comic books well into middle age, its time to bust out your Batman action figure from its collector case and wear your Battlestar Galactica T-shirt in public.
The 2013 Snowdown is all about getting your geek on.
In its 35th year, the often bawdy winter festival will be celebrating characters such as The 40-Year-Old Virgin as depicted in the 2005 comedy of the same name, but the beer-pong tournament and outhouse-stuffing contest are not going the way of the plastic pocket protector or the slide rule.
Geeky and outrageous are not mutually exclusive. In geek terms, Snowdown 2013 would occupy the intersection between outrageous and nerdiness on a Venn diagram.
During the weeklong festivities that concludes Sunday, everyone is urged to think geek, such as asking Are you a Trekkie? during speed dating, which is scheduled for 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Rochester Hotel Bar, 721 E. Second Ave.
Queens in the drag show, 7 p.m. Thursday at El Rancho Bar, might also want to consider nerdy female costumes, such dressing up as Velma from Scooby Doo or the feminist bookstore owners from Portlandia. Women dressing as guys will undoubtedly have a longer list of male nerds to emulate.
Participants are to be judged on overall dorkiness, but organizer Jen LaCroix said anyone with a costume is welcome to participate.
With popular TV shows such as The Big Bang Theory, Snowdown organizers want to tap into the cultural moment, the ironic popularity of the nerd, said Dawn James-Staten, president of the events board of directors, who is also going by overlord as her geek title.
The geek theme also is conducive to creating activities for all age groups, such as making sleds from 100 percent recycled materials or science demonstrations at Durango Discovery Museum.
Plus, the geek theme is good for costumes.
You always have to dress up (for Snowdown), said James-Staten, who has two costumes planned, nerdy school girl and Lt. Uhura from Star Trek.
As any fan of Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica might appreciate, science fiction usually contains some biting social commentary. This years Follies wont be any different, said Amber Pedigo, the director.
There will be some satire of Durangos hot-button topics.
Well definitely be discussing the front-page issues from the last year, maybe even some of the back-page issues, too, Pedigo said.
If the political issues are too inflaming, pent-up aggression always can be burned off in a relatively mild and nerdy fashion in an assassin game new to Snowdown. No one is shot, but participants could get slapped with a sticker to indicate theyre dead. Its an adult version of tag.
YPOD Geek Assassin is a weeklong, all-over town contest modeled on a game thats all the rage on college campuses, said RubiStarr Randazzo, an organizer from Young Professionals of Durango.
During the weeklong event, participants must constantly be on guard, but there are safe zones such as the workplace and public restrooms.
One bathroom function going public will be Snowdowns first ever Pee Pee Boys Pee off at 3 p.m. Friday at White Dragon Tea Room, inside Theres No Place Like Home gift shop, 820 Main Ave.
The Pee Pee Boys are small Chinese clay figures that absorb about 2 ounces of water when submerged for about 15 minutes or so.
When boiling water is poured on top of their heads, the anatomically correct figures spout water as little boys are wont to do, spraying an arc for a few feet.
For the Snowdown contest, participants Pee Pee Boys will be judged on two categories of distance and duration.
Michael Thunder, owner of White Dragon, expects contestants to arrive with Pee Pee Boys soaking in coolers of cold water, but he will make them available for anyone who shows up empty-handed.
Thunder said there is a subculture fascinated with the imported Chinese toy. There are people that are already strategizing, positioning themselves (to win), he said. Weve got all kinds of engineer-heads already involved. Weve got a 10-year-old thats been working on this for months.
When Thunder heard a 65-year-old arguing with the 10-year-old boy over Pee Pee Boys strategy, he thought it would fit in well with this years theme.
Its in the spirit of the outrageousness of Snowdown, Thunder said.

More than the elected leaders in Leavenworth County are watching bills being introduced to the Kansas Legislature, now in the second week of its 2013 session.
More than the elected leaders in Leavenworth County are watching bills being introduced to the Kansas Legislature, now in the second week of its 2013 session. County Administrator Pat Hurley said Thursday he recently taught county department managers how to monitor legislation that might effect them coming from Topeka. "I asked them particularly to do that and keep us advised of bills that would affect their operations," he said. Already, some had come forward, Hurley said. County Appraiser Bob Weber brought forward information on a bill that Hurley said is scheduled to be heard in committee next week. The aim of the bill, he said, is to force local jurisdictions to automatically lower property tax mill levies when valuations decrease. "The Kansas Association of Counties opposes that," Hurley said, as does the state's organization of county appraisers. It wasn't the only potential change from the state that could affect counties. Though not officially introduced as a bill, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach did recently outline a plan to change municipal elections from April to November to coincide with the General Election. Kobach cited potential cost savings and a larger turnout as a result of the move, but Hurley said not everyone is on board yet. "I know a lot of county clerks are concerned, our own included, that it just would be a tremendous amount of work to consolidate all of those elections at the same time," he said. Hurley said the department managers will continue to update him and the commission on legislation that could affect them. Hurley said he also asked members of the local delegation to Topeka to periodically update the commission.

If you've lived in the Midwest for any period of time, chances are you've tasted the culinary gift that is lutefisk. Lutefisk is made from dried whitefish – normally cod – and tastes a little bit like salted soap flavored jello.
If you've lived in the Midwest for any period of time, chances are you've tasted the culinary gift that is lutefisk. Lutefisk is made from dried whitefish – normally cod – and tastes a little bit like salted soap flavored jello.
If I'm being honest, I have never really enjoyed this traditional Norwegian treat. Its texture coupled with its taste makes it one of my least favorite meals. Still, it remains more popular in the upper Midwest than where it was invented, created or mistaken for food by Norwegians.
Much of the salted soap taste that accompanies lutefisk comes with its preparation. Lutefisk is made by soaking cod in lye – used to clean out your drain when you've clogged it with hair and toothpaste – and served with a pile of salt. If you aren't satisfied with keeping your serving plain, no worries, traditionally some goat cheese is added and melts over the top of the translucent slice of fish.
There are a select few in this area who really love the flavor of lutefisk and defend it vehemently. The anti-lutefisk corner stand firm in their equally strong convictions.
The question is why Lutefisk remains such a popular traditional dish here in the Midwest. The answer lies in the question, says Nelson Walstead in an interview with Smithsonian News about the Madison, Minn. lutefisk buffet.
"I like lutefisk! It tastes good to me," says Walstead. "It makes me feel good to know we are keeping the tradition alive, and that we're passing this on to the next generation."
Lutefisk continues to be a holiday tradition if for no other reason than because it is a tradition. It's a rite of passage for young Minnesotans to attend a lutefisk dinner and eat "just a little."
As Garrison Keillor says, "I always felt the cold creeps as Advent approached, knowing that this dread delicacy would be put before me and I'd be told, "Just have a little." Eating a little was like vomiting a little, just as bad as a lot."
Really, if lutefisk is prepared correctly it isn't as bad as it seems. With a big hunk of butter melted over the top it is at least edible. And, some people really enjoy the meal and look forward to eating it every December.
Minnesota is the capital of benefit dinners where you can try 'exotic' hot dish or attend an all you can eat fish fry, but if you stick around long enough – or at least can make it to the winter – you'll probably run into an all you can eat lutefisk lunch. If you've never had a bite I encourage you to give it a try. All you can eat might turn into all you can hold down, but at least you can say you've had some of that infamous lutefisk of the Midwest. And, chances are you'll get to enjoy some lefse with your lutefisk – and lefse is one thing the Norwegians got right.

The University of Kansas women's track & field team claimed the 2013 Big 12 Indoor Track & Field team title after collecting a total of 150.5 points at the two-day meet held inside the Lied Recreation Center.
Ames, Iowa – The University of Kansas women's track & field team claimed the 2013 Big 12 Indoor Track & Field team title after collecting a total of 150.5 points at the two-day meet held inside the Lied Recreation Center. The championship is the first conference title in the program's history and the first for any KU team – men's or women's – since the Kansas men won the Big Eight indoor title in 1983. The KU men ended Sunday's meet with a sixth-place finish after tallying 74.5 points.
"Everyone did a great job today," said 13-year head coach Stanley Redwine. "We knew it would take a total team effort and that's what happened for us. This is just a result of a lot of effort paying off. The coaches have done a great job helping the kids. The athletes have stepped up. We've been working hard and now all that work has finally paid off."
Entering the day, the KU women held a commanding lead in the team standings, sitting in first with 67 points. The Jayhawks would never relinquish the lead, collecting 83.5 points on the shoulders of three more individual winners on the final day to earn their first conference championship.
To begin the historical afternoon, Andrea Geubelle looked to retain her title as the conference's top triple jumper. Geubelle went on to claim her second-consecutive indoor triple jump championship and gave her team an additional 10 points to start the Jayhawks off on the right foot on the meet's final day.
Junior Diamond Dixon returned to her gold-medal form as she also defended her Big 12 title in the 400 meters.
In the final Dixon used her signature strong final kick to outpac the field down the final 50 meters to earn the victory. The junior clocked in with a season-best time of 52.52 for the win, the fifth-fastest in the NCAA this season.
Paris Daniels made school history Sunday as she became the first Jayhawk to win the 200 meters at the Big 12 Indoor Championships.
Daniels assured he name remain at the top of the scoreboard as she held off charges from Texas' two star sprinters down the final 100 meters. She leaned over the finish in 23.29 to earn the gold medal and retain the 200-meter title after winning the outdoor 200 meters a year ago.
In the final event of the night, the women's team needed the 4x400-meter relay team of Morris, Daniels, Taylor Washington and Dixon to finish sixth or better to clinch the team title. The team, who was the reigning conference champions in the event, ran its fastest relay of the season, clocking in at 3:37.73 for a fourth-place finish. The finish gave their team five points and just enough to outscore Texas in the final overall standings by just two points.

Clay pitchers and a trio of candles echo the greenery of a live, potted plant.
Tucked neatly into a corner overlooking the garden, this compact butler's pantry includes all the essentials – wine fridge, sink, and rack for air-drying stemware. Millwork is simple, crisp, and uncluttered to balance a more ornate faucet and Asian-inspired accent pieces set on the large-tile counter.

Each school system is required by the Code of Maryland Regulations to provide school psychological services. (COMAR 13A.05.05.04. 04) The School Psychology Program is a comprehensive continuum of services and activities based on psychological principles. The goal of the program is to prevent or remediate educational, emotional, or behavioral problems by identifying, analyzing, and reporting psychoeducational needs through consultation, observation, or through psychological and educational assessment.
Comprehensive school psychological services are comprised of diverse activities in concert with the activities of teachers, administrators, school counselors, and other school staff. These activities complement each other and are most accurately viewed as being coordinated rather than as separate services. The continuum of services and activities include but are not limited to;
q Consultation --Meeting with school staff and parents on issues involving psychological principles related to curriculum development, learning, and student development.
q Psychological Counseling—Providing individual or group evidence-based interventions with students or parents.
q Psychological Assessments—The process of obtaining data about an individual student in accordance with acceptable, valid practices with the purpose of identifying factors that may impact on a student's ability to learn or function in a school setting.
q Professional Development—Provide training for school staff and parents to enhance their capacity to implement strategies and create learning environments that maximize the ability of students to learn in school.
q Program Development—Assist school systems in implementing innovative practices such as Instructional Consultation and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.
The school psychology specialist at the Maryland State Department of Education assists the local school systems in promoting students' learning and mental health, and developing the skills of school psychologists across the state through technical support and consultation.

The United States Supreme Court decided unanimously to reject a Texas claim to water in southeastern Oklahoma tributaries.
The United States Supreme Court decided unanimously to reject a Texas claim to water in southeastern Oklahoma tributaries.
The case, Tarrant Regional District v. Herrmann involved a Texas water district applying for a water permit from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. However the permit was denied, so the district sued saying they had a right to the water under the Red River Compact.
Supreme Court Justices unanimously held that the compact "creates no cross-border rights in Texas."
While this may not have any immediate effects locally, Joe Taron of the Pottawatomie County Development Authority said the case will have long-reaching consequences.
"To me, this is a huge, huge decision from the Supreme Court," Taron said.
The precedent this case sets for water resources boards is incredibly important, he said.
"The water resources board has a better idea of what their role is," Taron said.
City Attorney Mary Ann Karns could not be reached for comment, regarding whether or not the case would change the city's approach to dealing with encroachment into city utilities.
The Tarrant Regional Water District serving an 11-county area in north-central Texas, including Fort Worth and Arlington, wants to buy 150 billion gallons of water and said the four-state compact gives it the right to do so. Arkansas and Louisiana are the other participating states, and they sided with Oklahoma.
"Obviously, we are disappointed with the Supreme Court's decision. Securing additional water resources is essential to North Texas' continued growth and prosperity and will remain one of our top priorities," water district general manager Jim Oliver said.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor's opinion for the court made plain that the justices did not find this a close case. "We hold that Tarrant's claims lack merit," Sotomayor said.
Lower courts ruled for Oklahoma, including the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. It found that the Red River Compact protects Oklahoma's water statutes from the legal challenge.
Legislation adopted by the Oklahoma Legislature in 2009 said no out-of-state water permit can prevent Oklahoma from meeting its obligations under compacts with other states. It also requires the Water Resources Board to consider in-state water shortages or needs when considering applications for out-of-state water sales.
The Obama administration backed the Texas district at the Supreme Court, saying Oklahoma may not categorically prohibit Texas water users from obtaining water in Oklahoma. But the administration took no position on whether the Texans ultimately should get the water they are seeking in this case.
The case is Tarrant Regional Water District v. Herrmann, 11-889.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Think tropical breezes and Margaritas on the lanai with this understated place setting. White plates with a pineapple and palm theme rest on circular place mats - the soft, golf-flecked texture reminiscent of beachcombing along pebbled shorelines. Stemware appears to floating above the chairs' palm print seats while a pedestal support of carved wood harkens to days of beach houses with thatched rooflines and comfy rattan furniture.
Glowing gold accents and amber wines shimmer against dark wood creating a soft, romantic ambiance. Stemware is unadorned, candleholders in square glass are contemporary minimalist with tumbled pebbles bases to reflect the place mats' rough, beach texture. As a centerpiece, netting appears to have captured a vase of lucky bamboo and stones.

Napkins held together with pearls, themselves precious gems of the oceans, rest casually to one side as if a gentle breeze has simply dropped them there. Distressed plank wood and place mats of dark brown have the shimmer of hidden gold - perhaps from sunny afternoons or angels dancing.
