Ethan Hawke is a pretty good actor. Look at the work he�s done in, say, the �Sunrise-Sunset-Midnight� trilogy or �Training Day� or �Gattaca.� Given the right material, this guy can shine. Too bad there�s nothing for him to put his talent around in �Getaway,� a mindless celebration of mayhem, without a purpose.
His co-star in the film is Selena Gomez, who is not a pretty good actor - �nuff said on that subject. Except maybe for the things she says in the movie, which we�ve got to blame on the guys who wrote this thing.
Gomez plays annoying poor little rich girl ... oh, wait, that�s right, we never find out her name. But here�s some of her dialogue, delivered in shrieky, whiny manner: �Look out! Look out!� There�s also the variation of �Watch out!� OK, let me cut her some slack. She�s saying these things while buckled into the passenger seat of a souped-up, custom-built, armored Shelby that�s being driven in maniacal style and at high speeds along highways and down side streets and through crowded shopping malls and across an ice skating rink by � hold on for this name � Brent Magna (Hawke).
The nameless kid is being held prisoner by Magna, but only after he stole her car (yeah, she�s a very rich girl) and she, big pistol in hand, tried to take it back from him. But ... oh, my, this gets complicated.
But, you see, Magna has no choice. A voice on a phone has told him to steal the car, then the same voice, now on the car�s audio system, has mentioned that his wife has been taken captive, he�d better do certain tasks and follow all orders (one order is to hold the girl captive), or he�ll soon be a widower. At which point the car�s video system (this is one hell of a car!) shows him a live feed of his screaming wife in a makeshift jail cell in Bulgaria.
Bulgaria? BULGARIA!!! Yeah, it�s explained, but the explanation makes about as much sense as a movie taking place at Christmas and featuring �Jingle Bell Rock� being released in August. I�ve got a feeling the movie wasn�t released early, but it�s been sitting around on a shelf for a year ... or two.
Here�s what we learn: Magna was once on the professional racing circuit, but things went wrong. So he and his wife moved to Bulgaria. The nameless kid is there because her wealthy banker daddy is working there, and apparently telling her every single detail about banks and vaults and how they�re protected. The identity of the guy whose voice is in the car remains a mystery, as do his motives for putting Magna through his ridiculous series of �tasks.�
Yes, he was really ordered to drive across a crowded ice skating rink!
This all turns into a big car chase, sometimes also involving trucks and motorcycles and guns, along with some absurd and totally inexplicable explosions. It also gets hard to tell if he�s being chased by cops or by henchmen. But all will be OK because nameless girl also happens to be a computer whiz (even though every bit of the plot involving computers turns out to be moot).
Hold on. I just remembered another piece of nameless girl�s dialogue, delivered quietly, without a hint of emotion, directly at Magna: �I really hate you.�
But that�s far from the film�s worst problem. It has a plot that, even at the end, makes no sense; it has chase scenes that never cause a feeling of peril, but just look and feel like a bunch of stunt drivers have gotten together; and it�s an �action film� that�s overly repetitive and quite boring ... and dumb.

Movie review: Get away from Getaway'
Ethan Hawke is a pretty good actor. Look at the work he�s done in, say, the �Sunrise-Sunset-Midnight� trilogy or �Training Day� or �Gattaca.� Given the right material, this guy can shine. Too bad there�s nothing for him to put his talent around in �Getaway,� a mindless celebration of mayhem, without a purpose.

I was suprised we don't have a thread for this yet, but I guess since blizzard is so stingy with the news its not unexpected.
Anyways, straight outta GamesCom we have details on the crafting system!
Looks fast, slick, and unobtrusive. I love how you can break down the "big loot" into crafting shit so you don't have to TP to town constantly to sell big things like armor.
Update with some details on the caravan:
Diablo III Caravan FAQ
Q: What is the caravan?
A: The caravan is a persistent group that follows the heroes across Sanctuary, providing a centralized hub for players to find quest givers, crafters, and other important NPCs. As your character moves through the world so too will your loyal band, setting up in specific locations to remain close by should you need them.
Q: Who are the artisans?
A: In order to access the professions in Diablo III, youll need to gain the loyalty of various artisans through your travels in Sanctuary. The blacksmith, mystic, and jeweler will each provide unique services over the course of the game.
Q: What do the artisans offer?
A: Skilling up your artisans will unlock unique recipes, granting your character access to benefits that may not be found anywhere else in the world. The blacksmith crafts weapons and armor, and can add sockets to some items. The mystic creates scrolls, potions, magical weapons, spell runes, and charms, and can also enchant items. The jeweler crafts gems , amulets, and rings. The jeweler can also remove gems from socketed items and can combine gems to improve their quality.
Q: How do I find the artisans?
A: Finding the artisans will be part of the main quest. Each artisan has been fleshed out to include their own story and quest line.
Q: How do I use the artisans?
A: Youll collect loot as a reward for slaughtering the forces of the Burning Hells. Unwanted items can be salvaged in your inventory, converting these goods into raw crafting materialshigher-level items are salvaged into higher-level materials. Youll then take those raw materials and hand them over to the artisans, putting them to work crafting or enchanting for you. Upon returning to the caravan after a lengthy foray, you may also find that the artisans have been hard at work plying their trade for your benefit.
Q: How do I salvage my items?
A: Players will find an item while progressing through the main quest that will allow them to convert unwanted gear into crafting materials from the inventory. This item will not take up any inventory space. This should be a more satisfying option for offloading unwanted loot than the alternativedropping things on the ground or making frequent trips to a vendor.
Q: Why are you including crafting professions in an action game?
A: Professions add depth to the item collection gameplay that drives the action of Diablo III. We want to provide players with an alternative way to acquire gear, potions, and other randomly found items. We also want to provide additional forms of customization for playersadding jewels, enchants, or sockets to existing gear allows players to further tailor their characters. Many rare crafting recipes and materials are only found as world drops, enhancing the item acquisition process by increasing the diversity of items dropped by monsters.

Surprise! Angels Lose. And Win!!
According to the wisdom of the post season ad campaigns, you can't script October. While that is certainly true, I would argue that you really can't script the other six months leading up to October either. It's May 1st and the Indians have the best record in baseball while the Twins have the worst. 'Nuff said. Any game has the potential to surprise and shock you, perhaps not as dramatically in the regular season as in the post season, but that potential is still there. This weekend's Angels games were full of surprises for me, some pleasant, others groan worthy.
I didn't expect Joel Pineiro to pitch such a strong game fresh off of the DL – seven innings with three strike outs, giving up only four hits and one walk, a nice surprise to say the least. Unfortunately, one of those hits was a Matt Joyce homerun and the Rays' James Shields was pitching an even better game than Pineiro. With Shields dealing and the Angels unable to catch him in even one mistake for eight innings, I didn't expect Torii to catch a piece of the ball in the 9th, or Howie to bring him home after the pitching change. With the exhilaration of tying the game up and getting through the bottom of the ninth unscathed, who could have imagined losing to a walk-off wild pitch in the tenth? Welcome back Joel! The guys really owe you run support next time and I tip my cap to Shields.
Cut to today when Angels fans tuned in to see ace Jered Weaver take on Alex Cobb, a 23-year old rookie right hander brought up from the minors just for the occasion, only to watch rookie vs. rookie instead as a nasty bout with the flu scratched Weaver's start and Tyler Chatwood took the mound in his place. From there, nothing proceeded according to normal expectation. Chatwood actually lost his composure and took an entire inning to recover, giving up five runs in the process. Things looked grim in the first and I was really worried the Angels were going to give up, but with a Hank Conger solo homerun in the 2nd inning, they started to catch up instead.
Chatwood and the Bullpen kept the Rays from scoring again. Yes, our Bullen absolutely rocked! Rich Thompson had a great inning. Fernando Rodney nearly scared us to death by walking his first batter, but redeemed the walk and yesterday's wild pitch when he helped with a tight double play and struck out the final batter. And I can tell I am going to adore Scott Downs. Calm and collected on the mound, he even calmed the infield down with jokes and a self deprecating smile after he accidentally turned a near certain double play into a single out and then returned to sitting batters down one by one.
The Angels' bats were back and the team tied things up with help from Torii, Bobby Abreu, Mark Trumbo and others. But the best play of the game was one of those baseball surprises I live for. Homeruns are fun and all, but this chick digs cleverly manufactured runs. With one out in the 8th inning, Torii on third and Vernon Wells on first, Conger hit a hard line drive to second base for an unfortunate sure double play. Running on contact, Wells was within tagging distance of Ben Zobrist when he fielded the ball, but stopped just out of Zobrist's reach. Wells then feinted toward first when Zobrist leaned in to tag him, drawing Zobrist and first baseman Casey Kotchman into a brief, unnecessary pickle during which they tagged first to get Conger out…and paid no attention to Torii who dashed home and scored. Wells was then tagged out in short order to end the inning, but the damage was done. The Rays did not score in the 8th and Jordan Walden shut everything down like clockwork in the 9th. After such a dreadful first inning, I was not expecting a lit halo but, yay! I certainly didn't expect a televised game to have me yelling and cheering myself hoarse with the same unrestrained passion I might exhibit at the ball park either…and neither, I'm sure, did my neighbors. Sorry guys!
And there is even an unexpected silver lining to come out of Weaver's scratched start. Through a quirk of scheduling, the Red Sox originally weren't going to face Weaver this season…But now Weaver will start on Monday or Tuesday as his health permits. I have a feeling this series against the Sox will be very different from the last one Yay!!
At the risk of sounding very Mother Hen-ish, did everyone see the information about the switch to WordPress this coming weekend on MLBlogosphere? It sounds like the changes are going to be fantastic! But we need to make sure we have an updated email address attached to our accounts and a couple of other things in preparation for the transition….oh, and be prepred for no blogging this weekend – The Horror! 😉 Okay, maybe this is less Mother Hen, than a project management holdover from numerous system changes at a previous job.

"There is a reason I use 'old' languages like J or Lush. It's not a retro affectation; I save that for my suits. These languages are designed better than modern ones. There is some survivor bias here; nobody slings PL/1 or Cobol willingly, but modern language and package designers don't seem to learn much from the masters. Modern code monkeys don't even recognize mastery; mastery is measured in dollars or number of users, which is a poor substitute for distinguishing between what is good and what is dumb. Lady Gaga made more money than Beethoven, but, like, so what?" This isn't just a thing among programmers. The entire industry is obsessed with user numbers, number of applications, and other crap that is meaningless when you consider programming to be art. When I post a new item about some small hobby operating system, the comments will be filled with negativity because it's no Windows or iOS, whereas only ten years ago, we'd have lively discussions about the implementation details. And then people wonder why that scene has died out.

The Nebraska baseball team fell to 0-1 on the season, as it dropped is 2013 season opener, 9-4, on Friday afternoon to CSU Bakersfield at Hardt Field.
Chad Christensen was 3-for-4 on the day for the Huskers and Tanner Lubach hit a homerun in his Husker debut, but the NU offense was unable to match the Roadrunners' attack.
Bakersfield totaled 15 hits on the day, led by Tyler Shryock's 5-for-5 outing. CSUB's 4-5-6 hitters produced seven hits and four RBIs.
The Huskers threw the first punch, as they plated a pair of runs in the top of the first on three hits.
Michael Pritchard led off the game with a bouncing single up the middle, but was then erased on a fielder's choice bunt attempt by Rich Sanguinetti. Christensen followed with his first hit of the season and Sanguinetti went 1st-to-3rd on the base knock. Kash Kalkowski kept the hits coming and drove in Sanguinetti to give NU a 1-0 lead. Associate Head Coach Will Bolt then dialed up a double steal that moved Christensen to third and Kalkowski to second for Pat Kelly, who worked a full-count walk to load the bases for Josh Scheffert. The senior from Lincoln did his job and lifted a sacrifice fly into left center field to plate Christensen to push NU's lead to 2-0.
Nebraska was held to just six hits and two runs over the final eight innings of the game, including Lubach's leadoff homer in the fourth.
Down 5-2, the Huskers were in position to cut into CSU Bakersfield's lead in the top of the third when they loaded the bases with one out following a second full-count walk to Kelly, but CSUB starter Jeff McKenzie buckled down kept NU off the board. The lefty sent down Scheffert and Austin Darby swinging to end NU's threat.
Nebraska scratched across a run in the top of the eighth following a pair of doubles from Kelly and Darby off of Hayden Carter, who came into the game in the top of the seventh, but NU was unable to get anything else going leaving CSUB with a 7-4 lead.
The Roadrunners added a pair of runs in the bottom of the eighth to complete their scoring for the day.
Nebraska's California road trip continues tomorrow with a trip to Goodwin Field for a doubleheader with No. 22 Cal State Fullerton. The first game between the Huskers and Titans is set for 4 p.m. (CT) and it will be streamed for free live on BigWest.TV. Fans will also be able to listen to Greg Sharpe and Lane Grindle call all the action on the Husker Sports Network, including for free on Huskers.com worldwide.
The Huskers are 0-2 all-time against the Titans, with the last meeting between the two teams coming in the first round of the 2001 College World Series.

Web-based info may not increase cancer screening
Offering women information on colon cancer screening via the web does not get them to take up screening any more effectively than printed materials, according to a new study.
"It's disappointing that the web didn't have more effect," said Dr. David Weinberg of Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, the report's lead author.
Although the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that adults between ages 50 and 75 get screened regularly for colorectal cancer, about 40 percent of people don't follow those guidelines.
To raise awareness of the recommendations and encourage people to go get screened, researchers have developed a variety of approaches, Weinberg said, including videos and printed materials. But none of these "have been tremendously successful," he added.
Dr. Hamant Roy, director of gastroenterology research at NorthShore University HealthSystem in Evanston, Illinois, said one method that has been shown to be effective is simply having doctors spend time with their patients to talk about the cancer tests.
"But one of the issues is they have to see more and more people with less and less time, so it gets really hard to have these discussions with patients," said Roy, who was not involved in the new study.
To see whether the web might provide an easily accessible and inexpensive alternative for getting people to comply with screening recommendations, Weinberg and his colleagues asked 865 women who were coming in for routine gynecology appointments to participate in the study.
Of those, 171 saw their doctor as normal, 349 also received printed materials about colon cancer screening at the time of their visit and 345 were offered access to a web site that contained the same information as the printed matter.
Included in the materials was information about the benefits of screening and harms of going unscreened, as well as background on the various types of colon cancer screen available: a stool test once a year, a sigmoidoscopy every five years or a colonoscopy every 10 years.
All the women were eligible to get screened for colon cancer based on their age and health status.
Four months after the doctor visit, however, roughly 12 percent of the women - regardless of whether they received the extra information or not - had gotten a colon cancer screen.
Roy called the numbers "dismal."
"At the end of the day, something is better than nothing," he said, but compared to screening rates for breast cancer, the uptake for colorectal cancer screening was quite low.
Among the women in the study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, 73 percent had received a mammogram in the past year.
On the other hand, Weinberg said, "you might argue their participation in the study did manage to raise their interest level enough" to get screened.
Not enough, however, to get most of the women to even access the website Weinberg's group had developed.
Only 24 percent had logged on, according to the researchers' records, and just 16 percent of the women remembered going to the website.
Weinberg still thinks there might be ways that the web could be helpful.
"I think that the web has great promise...the question is, how do you get people to look at it in the first place?" he said.
Perhaps following up with people to ask them about their experience on the website might improve their participation, he suggested.
Roy agreed that it would be premature to toss out the web as a potential tool for increasing screening rates.
"It seems like the energy to get people over the hump to get colorectal screening is higher than simply passively going to a website. I think the website is maybe helpful, but there needs to be more help to get them over the edge," he said.

For most of us, active transportation (walking and bicycling) is an untapped potential source of exercise.
In a recent study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, three-quarters of U.S. adults reported that they do not walk even 10 minutes to get some place once in a typical week (original article here, summary here). Unless your job keeps you fairly active, you probably rely entirely on leisure-time activity for exercise. For most of us, active transportation (walking and bicycling) is an untapped potential source of exercise.
Several years ago, a construction project involved relocating a parking lot further away from the medical school where I worked. That didn't affect me, because I biked, but my friend Denise complained about having to walk so far to her car. By the time the construction project finished, she had lost 10 pounds. More importantly, her cardiovascular fitness had increased.
"I ought to keep parking way out there," she said, wearing jeans that used to be too small. But the temptation of the closer parking lot was too great. She soon lost her new cardiovascular fitness and regained her 10 pounds.
This is a great example of how a small change can make a big difference and how external factors can influence an individual's fitness. Design elements like sidewalks and parking lot locations that make it both easier to walk and bike and harder to drive are more effective than unused free gym memberships and education campaigns exhorting us to exercise more. College campuses traditionally are closed to motor vehicles, with the result that people walk and bike more during their college years than any other time of life.
But we complain about it! When I drive, I often park in the furthest spot from the store, partly for the opportunity to walk just a bit extra, but mostly because I hate circling the parking lot looking for a space. When my family was with me, my husband complained, "I feel like you are trying to force your lifestyle on me." Our daughter (then 13) told him, "She's your wife. She's supposed to."
While parking in that furthest spot is a great idea, few of us will voluntarily do so, and then only for reasons other than our fitness. It's not a moral failing that we want to park in the closest spot. I too will park close to the door in an empty lot that I don't have to circle. We need a better reason to do it, than that it's good for us.
To encourage people to use active transportation, we need areas designed more like college campuses, with a few small parking lots primarily for handicapped accessibility, and larger more parking, with safe and attractive routes to walk and bike. According to studies that have been done on communities with this kind of design, it won't hurt our economy. In fact, it will stimulate it. And it will improve our health, reducing health care costs.
We'll complain, but we'll spend a little less money on gas and cars and medical care. We'll have a little more money to spend on the things we buy at the stores we drive or walk to.
Thanks to Truman Rec Center director Sue Limestall for alerting me to the AJPM article!

Pine Straw testing
Recently, Pine Needles Guys began performing analytic testing of the acidity, or pH (defined below), of various ages and forms of pine straw and soil to assist in separating fact from fiction. The results of those tests are summarized below.
If you aren't familiar with the term pH, it is simply a measure of a substance's acidity or alkalinity based on a range (scale) of 0 to 14, with 7.0 being considered neutral, less than 7 being defined as acidic, and greater than 7 being defined as being alkaline.
Sometimes the pH scale can be a little misleading though. For example, we know that rain water is healthy for our gardens in Hospers, IA and we normally think of it as being "pure" and thus somewhat "neutral." But, rain water actually has a normal pH of between 5.5 and 6.0, which is slightly acidic on the pH scale. Before you decide to swear off the benefits of rain water though, rest assured it is still a safe and healthy bet for your plants, one reason of which I'll discuss later in this article.
Pine Straw in Hospers, IA
Pine Needles Guys first test consisted of green needles, pulled fresh from the tree. As in all of the needle and soil tests, the needles were placed in a non-reactive container and mixed with an appropriate volume of distilled water following standard analytical testing guidelines and using a proper and calibrated pH meter (single body electrode using standard buffer solutions). The pH of pure distilled water in the container was 6.4. After adding the needles for 10 minutes of soak time, the pH of the green needles was 6.3. To simulate rain water flushing to determine the pH of the leachate of the needles, the needles were allowed to soak for 24 hours and the resulting pH was 4.5. To further simulate the natural rain and drying cycle, the needles were rinsed and then allowed to dry outside for 7 days.
Pine Straw
The 24 hour soak test was then repeated and the pH was 5.0. The rinsing, 7 day drying cycle and 24 hour soak test was again repeated, followed by two separate 14 day drying cycles and 24 hour soak tests. The pH results were 5.1, 6.2, and 6.5 respectively. From this round of tests, it is clear that the fresh green needles leachate was initially acidic at 4.5, but following several simulations of rain and drying cycles over a few weeks time, the solution (the terms leachate and solution are used interchangeably here) was at the equivalent of rainwater pH. Over a period of 46 days, the needles were no longer acidic, with the pH being that of distilled water.

Springtime in Durango is marked by the waking of the bears, the opening of the Farmers Market and the eternal rift between the river users and residents along the river who complain about noise, traffic, trash and rowdiness.
A new Animas River Corridor Management Plan, which is scheduled to go before the City Council for consideration Feb. 19, aims to improve behavior with signs about river etiquette and park amenities to better accommodate the crowds but leaves unresolved what to do with the often-congested spot for launching rafts and inner tubes at 33rd Street.
Instead, the city has decided to make the river put-in at 29th Street, which has the benefit of already being part of Memorial Park, its priority, to be followed by the development of a river put-in area at Cameron-Sterk, the newly acquired 43 acres along the river north of town named after the lands previous owners.
After finishing 29th and Cameron-Sterk, the city eventually would come back to 33rd Street, but any development would be subject to future discussion and likely wouldnt happen for several years.
City Councilor Christina Rinderle described the strategy as trying to get Cameron-Sterk and 29th Street to be pressure-relief valves for the intense use that 33rd Street gets.
The 33rd Street put-in is such a popular spot that Rinderle said its typically the first impression people get when they come to Durango.
They check into their hotel. They walk down Main. They see the Next raft trip leaves right now, said Rinderle, explaining the brisk business rafting companies do transporting tourists by bus to the raft put-in.
She acknowledged that there has been a demand for the city to build bathrooms there.
Those who argue for the amenities say they would improve behavior because changing rooms, for example, would prevent people from undressing and changing into their swimsuits in public.
But Cathy Metz, director of parks and recreation for Durango, said no consensus could be reached about what kinds of improvements, if any, should be made to 33rd.
The river management plan was developed after marathon sessions of community dialogue between various interest groups, such as anglers, homeowners, rafters, kayakers, inner-tubers and law enforcement.
In an interview with The Durango Herald, a resident on 33rd Street, who asked for anonymity because of the tensions around the issue, said the improvements to 29th and Cameron would definitely help.
The 33rd Street resident said neighbors mostly object to the raft companies buses lining up along a narrow residential street.
Its really an incompatible use, she said.
Professional rafters such as Alex Mickel of Mild to Wild Rafting and Jeep Trail Tours Inc. recognize theres a problem at 33rd Street.
We currently use 29th more than (33rd) to avoid congestion and the fact that it is a much nicer environment, Mickel said in an email. We feel that there is no silver bullet to ease congestion at 33rd, but a combination of improvements at both locations would be helpful.
Once the busy summer season is past, the city will begin work at 29th Street, removing the green pump house and river-intake system that has been made redundant by the Animas-La Plata Water Project that feeds Lake Nighthorse. The city also will relocate a fishing pier at Memorial Park farther upstream. Long-term plans also call for new signs, changing rooms and additional parking.
Removing the pump house will allow for the Animas River Trail extension through Memorial Park to 32nd Street this fall. The trail currently ends at the 29th Street parking lot.
A landscaping strip would separate the trail from East Third Avenue because the current sidewalk will be removed.
Metz said the city and neighbors agreed it would be safer if the trail was not directly adjacent to the road to prevent situations of car doors swinging in the path of people walking along the trail.
This fall will be a busy time for the river trail because the city also will be working on the extension of the trail northward from 32nd Street through Animas City Park, ending in the grassy area just before Bennett Street. The city also will be repaving a deteriorating section of trail from the spur at Natures Oasis market to the Durango Mall.
These three trail projects will cost about $3 million from the citys fund for open space, parks and trails. The city also has $800,000 in state grants to offset costs, Metz said.
In another project for a busy autumn construction season, the city will make foundational improvements to the whitewater park near Santa Rita Park to reduce the need to continually realign the boulders that shape the rapids.
Boulders will be stacked and grouted in place underwater. The city wants to avoid concrete sticking out of the water to preserve the natural aesthetics of the river, said Scott McClain, a parks development specialist for Durango.
The $1.3 million price tag also will be funded through the citys fund for new parks and trails.
Above-water plans for the Whitewater Park include an amphitheater so spectators can watch kayaking and other water sports, but this is more of a long-range idea.
Aaron Ball, a kayaker, is looking forward to the development.
It opens up a lot of opportunities for tournaments, competition, he said.

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 !!!

1962 Topps Baseball BucksAnother Hit Topps Test Issue from the 1960's !!!
The 1962 Topps Bucks were one of Topps most creative Test Issues. Each "Buck" resembled U.S. currency and measured 1 3/4" x 4 1/8" but instead of George Washington staring at you, it could be Mickey Mantle !!! A drawing of the player's home park along with a brief write-up also appeared on the front. The backs included team and league logos.
The 1962 Topps Bucks test issue was sold in it's own 1 cent wax packs and was not an insert in 1962 Topps wax packs. Most examples exist with a fold line but it should not be overly noticeable. Player selection was great as the set is packed with numerous Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Stan Musial, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron and more !!!

This week, the sleek, speedy Chevy Corvette turns 60 years old. In the increasingly competitive auto business, where few cars make it past their teens, that makes it nearly ancient.
General Motors, however, is not retiring one of America's oldest sports cars just yet, and is embarking on the perilous path of updating the beloved brand. The auto company unveiled the new 2014 Corvette at the Detroit Auto Show on Sunday, a model that also revives the long-dormant Stingray name.
The Corvette is iconic not just in the car industry but also in culture. Tadge Juechter, the chief engineer at Corvette, says the hardest part is bringing the car into the 21st century while making it look like a Corvette.
"We don't want to do retro," Juechter says, who has spent 20 years on the Corvette and almost 40 at GM. "We don't want to go back and do like some manufacturers [and] go relive the glory days."
What's new about this car, and almost every car at the Detroit Auto Show, is the push to make it more fuel efficient. The new Corvette uses aluminum and carbon fiber to keep it lighter and faster.
"It has a low roof and big wheels and a low hood. ... It [just] looks really fast," Juechter says.
It is very different, but you'll still recognize it as a Corvette.
Meanwhile, the current Corvette is in the basement as far as sales go. Chevy barely sold 12,000 last year.
Brian Moody of AutoTrader says that despite its price tag and impracticality, the Corvette's importance goes far beyond a sales number.
"It's almost like a rolling billboard for the company, for the attitude of the company [and] the spirit of the company," he says.
Moody says you don't necessarily build a high-performance sports car to sell a lot of high-performance sports cars; he says more people will probably end up buying Chevy Impalas and Malibus as a result of the Corvette than will actually buy Corvettes.
Eric Gustafson, the editor of Corvette Magazine, loves Corvettes as much as anyone, but he says he's part of a devoted but aging and dwindling crowd.
"The big challenge is to find new customers," Gustafson says, "and not only new customers now, but new customers that are going to buy the car in 10 years."
Once they get just a little bit older, kids dream of having a car and generations of kids have dreamed that that car would be a Corvette. General Motors, which produces the Corvette, is now updating this beloved brand. And that's the subject of today's Business Bottom-line.
NPR's Sonari Glinton is at the Detroit Auto Show.
SONARI GLINTON, BYLINE: Let's play a game of name that tune.
(Singing) I guess I should have known by the way you parked your car sideways that it wouldn't last.
No guesses? Well, you're in excellent company. Tadge Juechter is chief engineer at Corvette.
TADGE JUECHTER: I don't know what the heck you're talking about.
JUECHTER: Is that a lyric?
GLINTON: Come on, man. Really?
JUECHTER: Really.
GLINTON: It's the one lyric that the head designer of Corvette should know.
JUECHTER: Oh, Prince?
GLINTON: Yeah
GLINTON: Tadge Juechter is a car guy, not a music guy. He's spent 20 years on Corvette and almost 40 at GM. The Corvette is iconic not just in the car industry but the culture. And Juechter says the hardest part about that is to bring the car into 21st century and make it look like a Corvette.
JUECHTER: We don't want to do retro. You know, we don't want to go back and do like some manufacturers - go relive the glory days. Hey, lets go - I hear it from customers actually - Oh, just do the '63 over again, that thing was awesome. Bring that back
GLINTON: What's new about this car and almost every car at the Detroit Auto Show is the push to make it more fuel efficient. It uses aluminum and carbon fiber to keep it lighter and, well, fast. Juechter describes the car, which was designed just after the worst of GM bankruptcy
JUECHTER: It has a low roof and big wheels, and a low hood, and it's certainly pointy in the front. It's really chopped in the back like a race car is. They tend to be really flat and chopped and shortened in the back. Well, it's really fast.
GLINTON: It's very, very different, but you'll still recognize it as a Corvette. Meanwhile, the current Corvette is in the basement sales-wise; Chevy barely sold 12,000 last year.
Brian Moody with AutoTrader.com, and he says Corvette's importance go far beyond sales number.
BRIAN MOODY: Well, the Corvette is, by its nature, somewhat impractical. It's a super high-performance car. It's not super inexpensive but it's almost like a rolling billboard for the company, for the attitude of the company, the spirit of the company.
GLINTON: Moody says, if you're GM, you don't necessarily build a high-performance sports car, just to sell high-performance sports cars.
MOODY: Well, the point of the Corvette is that probably more people will end up buying Impalas and Malibus as a result of the Corvette, than will actually buy a Corvette.
ERIC GUTAFSON: My name is Eric Gutafson. I'm editor of Corvette magazine.
GLINTON: So you mean to tell me there's a whole magazine devoted to Corvette.
GUTAFSON: Believe it or not, that's true.
GLINTON: Gustafson loves Corvettes as much as anyone. But he says he part of a devoted but aging and dwindling crowd.
GUTAFSON: So the big challenge is to find new customers. And not only new customers now, but new customers that are going to buy the car in 10 years. So, people in their - teenagers that are going to see this car and that will be their dream car in the future. Right now, the Corvette is not a dream car for young kids.
GLINTON: Gustafson says he likes the new car so far, but nobody's singing about it yet.

You know what they say about pets - "If one dies get a replacement." Not!! I have loved every single one of the numerous cats and dogs that have filled my arms, emptied my pocketbook and left a great big hole in my heart when they have gone. And so it was with my beloved Benny, the Red Menace. He died last week after struggling with the debilitating effects of feline lower urinary tract disorder for the past five or six years. LOur wonderful veterinarian had used every treatment she could to extend his time with us. But last week it was time to let him go.
So I didn't replace Benny - he is not replaceable. But I did find room in my heart for another red cat. His name is Patrick or Paddy for short.
