- 1918, W. B. Maxwell, chapter 7, in The Mirror and the Lamp:
- With some of it on the south and more of it on the north of the great main thoroughfare that connects Aldgate and the East India Docks, St. Bede's at this period of its history was perhaps the poorest and most miserable parish in the East End of London.
- 2012 March-April, Jan Sapp, "Race Finished", in American Scientist, volume 100, number 2, page 164:
- Few concepts are as emotionally charged as that of race. The word conjures up a mixture of associations—culture, ethnicity, genetics, subjugation, exclusion and persecution. But is the tragic history of efforts to define groups of people by race really a matter of the misuse of science, the abuse of a valid biological concept?
- 2017 June 24, James O'Shea, quoting Gerry Adams, "BREAKING: Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams says end to partition of Ireland "in a few short years"", in IrishCentral:

- He teaches history at the university. History will not look kindly on these tyrants. He dreams of an invention that will make history.
- (countable) A set of events involving an entity.
- What is your medical history? The family's history includes events best forgotten.
- 2014 October 21, Oliver Brown, "Oscar Pistorius jailed for five years – sport afforded no protection against his tragic fallibilities: Bladerunner's punishment for killing Reeva Steenkamp is but a frippery when set against the burden that her bereft parents, June and Barry, must carry [print version: No room for sentimentality in this tragedy, 13 September 2014, p. S22]", in The Daily Telegraph (Sport)[1]:
- [I]n the 575 days since [Oscar] Pistorius shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, there has been an unseemly scramble to construct revisionist histories, to identify evidence beneath that placid exterior of a pugnacious, hair-trigger personality.

Oscars 2014: Robert Lopez now an EGOT holder with 'Frozen' win
Robert Lopez and his wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez may have had the cutest acceptance speech when they went on stage to accept the Oscar for best original song for "Frozen"'s "Let It Go."
The speech, which rhymed as they seemingly sang through it, ended with Anderson-Lopez telling the couple's daughters to continue celebrating their unique selves.
LIVE REPLAY: Did you miss the show? Check out this recap
The cuteness continued backstage when Anderson-Lopez presented her husband with a necklace to commemorate him now being an EGOT winner - someone who has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award.
"The girls and I made this for you. It's made of pasta," she said.
She then tied the necklace - which spelled out EGOT - around his neck.
WHO WON?: Find out the full list here and compare your ballot
"We wrote this song to tell a story," she said. "You don't imagine that it will spread this far."

Irish alum Samardzija won't rush to judge Te'o
Te'o, a Notre Dame linebacker and Heisman Trophy runner-up, is reportedly involved in a complex hoax in which he may have been duped into believing he had a girlfriend who died of leukemia in September.
On Friday, Samardzija said all the speculation about Te'o's possible involvement and what he knew has resulted in conflicting opinions.
"Some people want to believe him, some people don't," Samardzija said. "It's really arbitrary. I don't really have an opinion on it until enough information comes out and you can say who was right and who was wrong."
Samardzija was in Miami on Jan. 7 for Notre Dame's BCS championship game against Alabama -- a 42-14 Irish loss -- but did not attend the game. The right-hander said he recognizes that all of the speculation about Te'o is driving the media frenzy.
"You have to assume he made a bad decision and he learned from it," Samardzija said of Te'o. "You just hope it's not the other side of the coin."
On Friday night during an interview with ESPN, Te'o strongly denied being part of the hoax, insisting that he "wasn't faking it" and "wasn't part of this."
"Everybody's more shocked at the coverage it's getting, to tell you the truth," Samardzija said. "Again, it's Notre Dame and you understand that when you go to Notre Dame, you take on a different role of being under the spotlight. If things do go great, it's a great place to be and you get tons of accolades for it. You get all the front-page articles, you get [featured in] Sports Illustrated, you get [on] ESPN.
"But if something doesn't go well, you pay for that, too. You need to understand when you go to that school, you have to be a responsible grown-up and an adult and make the right decisions."

This is Sapphire's new HD 7970 video card that is based on AMD's reference design. Although it's just a reference designed card it does come with some features that are exclusive to Sapphire. Before we get into those let's first cover what AMD has done to improve upon their previous generation of graphics cards.
One of the most important improvements over the previous generation is that these new GPUs are manufactured with a whole new 28nm process. This is important because this new process should not only reduce power consumption but it should also reduce heat output. With a lower heat output these cards should run quieter and cooler. We'll be monitoring this throughout our testing to see if this does actually make a difference in cooling and noise output.

my sh*t don't stank...
|Some crazy, crazy person actually bought something off of my hysterectomy party list. Seriously.
But who would do such a nutty thing?
Someone who understands the bowels of suffering through graduate school while working full-time. Someone who's sniffer has snuffed the foul results of merry-making at the world's longest buffets.
Someone who cares that the putrid smell I make while "going potty" brings tears to my eyes and chases my dear cats far, far away from my loving arms.
Yes, Marcia. Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.
Oh. My Nose! It is adorned.
Thank you for turning my bathroom into a bakery. I can't wait to poo again!

What you need:
- Box Fan (20 inch blade)
- 20x20 high performance air filter
- 1 big rubber-band
We made a trip to Wal-Mart to pick up the box fan and air filter.
The air filter has a 1500 microparticle performance rating and is an advanced allergen reduction filter... whatever that means. I was excited about the $3 off coupon I found on the package.
What you do:
Put the filter behind the fan and rubber band together.
Be sure the arrow on the filter points to the air flow.
Plug it in and breath a little easier.
It's not beautiful by any means but desperate times call for desperate measures!

That is, until somebody spotted them on the Gears 3 leaderboards.
The maps are titled "Azura", "Blood Drive", and "Rustlung". They're apparently not playable and are probably upcoming DLC.
Gears of War 3 was released in North America on Sept. 20 to much fanfare. The game does have unlockable content, but like so many recent games, it also apparently has DLC waiting in the wings.
Kotaku is following up with Epic Games.

A fun cookie - Krispies
For this Blogger's Choice Recipe Swap hosted by Taste of Home Cooking, I was given a blog that will seriously make your mouth water - Cookies on Friday.
But like I have said before, I love these swaps because they push me out of my comfort zone.
I chose a recipe, made it, and unfortunately it was inedible. I don't even want to share what it was because supposedly it was an easy recipe. Even my dad couldn't eat it, and he eats anything I make! So I decided to give another recipe a shot, and chose 4 different cookie recipes that I could make with the baby girl (who is turning into such a little girl - almost two-and-a-half already!!). I finally decided on these Krispies - cookies with Rice Krispies and a Chocolate Rice Bar. Sounds good, right?
Well they were! Baby girl and I had so much fun making them, too! She kept stealing little bits of chocolate, and even grabbed a bit of cookie dough before I could stop her. At one point she blew on the bowl of flour and was so surprised when it flew all over her face - I wish I had my camera ready for that moment!
These cookies were so good! I think I'll even make them again for Christmas.
I made one change to the recipe. My chocolate bar was only 4 oz, so I added some chocolate chips to make up the rest (recipe called for 6 oz of chocolate).
Source: Cookies on Friday
- 2 c flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- 6 oz. crispy rice chocolate bars, chopped (I used a 4 oz bar and 2 oz of chocolate chips)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats. I don't have silicone mats so I lined my sheets with parchment paper and it worked just fine.
- In a small bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda; set aside.
- In a large mixer bowl, beat brown sugar, sugar, and butter.
- Add the egg and vanilla. Beat on medium until fully combined.
- Add flour mixture and stir on low until combined.
- Stir in the crispy rice cereal and the chopped chocolate bars.
- Drop by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes until set and light golden brown.
- Transfer cookies with a spatula to a wire rack to cool completely. And definitely eat one while they are still warm!!

If you want to survive in the game of sports betting, Site That Predict Football Matches in Easy then you have to use effective money management. I recommend that you follow these guidelines at all times.
- Only invest what you can realistically afford to lose. Free Soccer Predictions For Today you have to remember that you really do not need to start with al a lot of money. I got started with only $100 dollars and I followed the system and my money has doubled over and over again over the course of years.
- Do not make your initial bet too high. Only invest 5% of your total bankroll for a flat betting system (in which you bet the same amount each time) and no more than 2% for a progressive system. You need to be patient here and allow your systems to do their slow and steady work.
- Increase your initial bets when your bankroll has increased by 25%. This will increase your earning power, Site That Predict Football Matches just remember to stick to the suggested percentages in #2.
- Remember to Diversify your portfolio. If you have a total bankroll of $1000 and 4 systems that you would like to use, then each system should be allotted $250 and you have to keep those amounts separate.
You have to be disciplined in your use of your systems and in your money management strategy. It can be difficult especially you are doing exceptionally well or if you are losing badly. You may be tempted to deviate from the systems or the money management guidelines in either of those situations. But do not, Goal Predictions Today just remain diligent and the rewards are sure to follow.
Site That Predict Football Matches in Easy?
This is the third instalment in a series of articles on profitable betting through sensible money management. So far, I have discussed the importance of getting value when you bet, to maximise the returns you achieve when your selections win. In the most recent article you should have learned to keep your stakes in proportion to the size of your betting bank.
Today I want to examine a common mistake that often gets punters into serious trouble – chasing your losses.
I don't think there can be many of us who have not at some time, decided to get back what we just lost by betting a little bigger on the next race. It is sometimes known as progressive staking.
Let's take a simple scenario: you bet £10 on Red Rum, and he loses. What do you do? Perhaps you continue with your selection methods and come up with another pick in the next race – Best Mate. The price is 6/4F
But, rather than putting another £10 bet on Best Mate, you decide to 'chase' your loss from the last race. You add another £7 to your stake so that when Best Mate wins you will pick up an extra £10.50 to recover the bet you lost on Red Rum. Good plan? Could be, after all Best Mate is a sure fire winner, right? May be. May be not!
What happens if Best Mate loses? You are now £27 'in the hole'. But you still have a plan. Your next selection is a dead cert winner at Even money. You place your usual £10 stake plus an extra £27 to cover your losses so far. No need to worry. When this one comes in, you will have re-couped your losses and have a £10 profit to show as well.
Let's take a step back here. You are staking £37 to win a £10 profit. Think about it – you are effectively getting odds of only around 1 to 4 odds-on about a horse that is Even money in the market. That is terrible value!
You may escape this time and your horse may well win. But what if, heaven forbid, your red-hot even money favourite fails to win? After just three bets, you are down to the tune of £64 when your normal stake is just a tenner!
Long losing runs do occur, more frequently than you might think, and even with short-priced selections.
If you spent a day in a casino at the roulette tables, and analysed how many times you witnessed a run of 7 or 8 consecutive 'red' numbers, I would not be at all surprised if you saw this happen four or five times – in a single day. Here we have pretty much a 50/50 bet, even money, that the roulette ball will land in either a red or a black slot. Yet I was amazed to learn that the longest run of the same colour (reported) was THIRTY-NINE consecutive reds!!
Imagine if you were betting on black, and saying to yourself each time "no worries, it's got to be black next time…. Surely?"
But let's go back to the more common occurrence of a losing run of 7 even money bets. We will be betting on the red.
We place a £1 bet on the first spin. It's black. We chase our loss by 'doubling up' and next bet £2. If we were to carry on in this manner, after 6 spins we would be betting £64 to win our original £1
I sincerely hope my point is getting across. By chasing your losses you can very quickly see your stakes climbing to preposterous levels, to win your original, relatively small stake. The risk is way out of proportion compared to the potential reward.
One last example to really ram the point home. The Racing Post runs a tipster competition. All the leading racing journalists are involved, representing the nation's newspapers and horse racing publications. These are experts at tipping horses. Take a look at the results table any day, and see for yourself the longest losing run. Remember, these are the experts.
I looked today, and Racing Post PostData has suffered this season a losing run of twenty-seven. Twenty-seven consecutive losers from an expert tipster! And believe me, he is not on his own, just the worst offender this season so far.
There is an old saying – "Don't throw good money after bad". If your selections don't make a profit from simple level stakes betting, don't try and make them profitable by throwing more money at them. You may survive with a profit for a while, but this approach is a disaster waiting to happen. Sooner or later you WILL blow your entire bank chasing a disproportionately small profit.
If your selections don't make a profit from simple level stakes betting, change your system.
Sports Betting Money Management Secrets - 4 Tips
Now that we have put the Barry Bonds/ Babe Ruth blah, blah, blah to sleep, I think it's time that we sat back and wagered a few bucks on our favorite MLB team. Parity is here and every one of the six divisions is up for grabs this year and handicapping these teams, takes patience and talent.
Let's start with the glamour division and of course I am referring to the American League East where the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox have been trading punches since the opening week of April and George's boys are now sitting in the penthouse.
Lurking down in the lobby are the Toronto Blue Jays who have fought off injuries to their starting pitching staff, with superb hitting and are 32-25 and are just three games back. Toronto has made it clear from the get go, that they will spend money during the season in order to contend.
In the AL Central my 9-1 betting bonanza and that would be the 2005 Chicago White Sox are scuffling a bit after a torrid start and presently trail the Motown Detroit Tigers. The Tigers began the first 50 games under Jim Leyland in spectacular fashion, but injuries are beginning to hit them, with the latest being to Pudge Rodriguez.
At 28-29 the Cleveland Indians will make a move at some point and placing a few bucks on them, could provide you with a nice return on your dollar. The AL West with Texas, Oakland, Seattle and Los Angeles is a crapshoot, with only 5.5 games separating the VIP section and the cheap seats. The first place Rangers incidentally are the only team in the West with a winning mark in games played within the division and against the powerful AL East and you cannot ignore that vital gambling statistic.
The New York Mets like their neighbors the Yankees like to throw the money around and they sit atop the NL East presently, but the Phillies and Braves can almost reach out and touch them. With 14 straight division titles, I certainly would think about a wagering a few bucks on them to win once again.
The Cardinals are suddenly trying to ward off the Cincinnati Reds who are getting healthy and pounding the ball. The Cardinals meanwhile have all kids of injury issues with Pujols and ace Chris Carpenter does not look stable.
Just like their counterparts in the AL West, the NL West Diamondbacks, Dodgers, Padres, Giants and Rockies are in a fierce battle for supremacy. Just six games separate the top and bottom, with Arizona leading the pack. The Dodgers are getting superb play out of Garciaparra and if their veterans can stay healthy, watch out!

These Questions Are Easier Than They Seem
Nothing makes simple questions needlessly complex more quickly than a lot of people needing to fill a lot of time and space. So. Let's knock these off quickly.
Can The Yankees Void Alex Rodriguez's Contract?
Highly unlikely. When Rodriguez admitted to past PED use four years ago, the team had a window in which it could've claimed he had misled them so seriously that it amounted to fraud or more likely breach of contract. It could've cut off his paycheck and invited him – or the Players' Association – to sue them.
But Rodriguez could've just as easily responded by saying 'thanks.' He was coming off a 35/103/.302/.392/.573 season, the ever-willingly gullible fan base bought his line about having merely "experimented" and stopped years before, and he would've found somebody to pay him – and maybe even pay him more. The Yankees still had dreams of making additional tens of millions in marketing money as Alex Rodriguez – the clean home run hitter – expunged Barry Bonds from the record book. They didn't want to fire him.
One of the problems with breach of contract is that if you feel you're the victim of it, if you don't respond legally, you are – in a passive-aggressive fashion – forgiving whatever action you think constituted the possible breach. The time frame before your window to try to void a contract expires is not set in stone, but it sure as heck is less than four years.
But Isn't The New Allegation A Whole Different Breach?
It sure would be – if Rodriguez admitted it. But he's denying it, outright. Unless there's another positive test out there, there isn't a fraud/breach way out of his contract.
By the way, no, I'm not a lawyer. Don't ask me why I'm so familiar with this topic right now. Trust me, I just am.
So Couldn't The Yankees Buy Him Out Of His Contract?
There are several variations, but the best estimate is that the Yankees owe Rodriguez another $114,000,000. Exactly what would your motivation be to accept something less?
If he retires, he gets less. If he has to retire because of injury, the Yankees can put in a claim on their insurance on the contract. But if he keeps showing up to work, either willing to play or trying to rehabilitate himself, the club owes him the full amount.
Ask Don Gullett. The Yankees signed him the same winter they signed Reggie Jackson. Everybody knew he had a risky delivery and a cranky arm, but they still gave him a six-year contract. He pitched exactly 30 times for them, the last game coming in July, 1978. He was still showing up at Yankee Stadium and throwing stiffly on the sidelines as late as the summer of 1980. He was a non-roster invitee in 1981. His endless arm miseries produced one of the great jokes in the history of television sportscasting. Deep into one winter, Jerry Girard of WPIX-TV in New York interrupted reading the NBA scoreboard and announced there was breaking news. "This just in," he said as the director killed the graphics of the scores and put him on camera. "There has been a Don Gullett sighting!"
Why On Earth Did The Diamondbacks Trade Justin Upton?
This is the revised version of the question "Why On Earth Would The Diamondbacks Trade Justin Upton?" The two questions have been asked 47,552 times* this off-season on radio, tv, and the internet.
Answer: In what is now a five-and-a-half season sample size, Justin Upton is a career .250 hitter with a .325 on base percentage and a .406 slug, and an average of 18 homers and 63 RBI. That's what he's done lifetime away from Phoenix (the homers and RBI are normalized to a 162-game season). He drove in exactly 20 runs on the road last year.
He is a supremely talented prospect who has thus far shown he doesn't travel well.
The Braves can take some hope from the fact that sometimes disastrous home-road splits are not entirely-park related but at least somewhat comfort-related. If he's just as good at home in Atlanta as he was in Arizona, the trade won't be a disaster (and he still won't be a superstar). They can still also be optimistic about a smaller sample: 1/8/.293/.388/.483 – in 58 career at bats in Atlanta.
*-I made that number up.
Why Hasn't Michael Bourn Signed Yet?
He hit .238 after July 1st of last year.
That's why you trade for Ben Revere instead.
Which Hall Of Famer Is This?
This one is not easier than it seems. HOF President Jeff Idelson tweeted that shot out today, with this enticing hint:
This brilliant lefty's pickoff move was deemed great by Earl Weaver. He's in the HOF, but not as a player. Who is he?
An additional hint was later provided – that he was on USC's national college champs of 1958.
The photo provides an approximate date. That thing at the top left is the famed curved roof of the Orioles' old spring training home, Miami Stadium, and the bagginess of the uniform suggests 1960 or 1961 at the latest.
Since Jeff has already tweeted the answer, I'm going to give it again, below. It ain't Steve Dalkowski and it ain't Frank Bertaina.
This brilliant lefty is Hall of Fame executive Pat Gillick

KO, why can't we get over this PED thing. Personally, I'm sick of hearing it. I pulled a local minor league player aside and asked, "what is the deal"? He explained to me that HGH was $3,500 a month and only the bonus babies could afford it. I just wish that it could be accepted, administered by a Doctor and we all get over this. It is progress in science. Who is doing it? Do the math and look around. A Joke!
Pat Gillick
A contract is a binding agreement between two parties who have basically written out what they agree are the terms from each side. If one party breaks any part of that contract it is rendered null. The injured party could then seek recovery. That's all I got out of contracts in business law class. I'm sure you are better versed in it than me.
This situation with A-Rod depends largely on what the Yankees high priced lawyers and A-Rods reps agreed to put into the contract. I don't hear anything about an escape clause. Until the Yankees figure out how to lessen the pay blow-back, they're stuck. Stuck like paper and glue. I think they hope A-Rod will come back and pretend to play, but only use him for promotional efforts. They can't unload him now.
Until this issue with PEDs is resolved and made to 'disappear', it is going to cloud the game for the next 'ump-teen' years (pun intended). I believe these players were led down a false garden path by their trainers and doctors, only to pump pills, lotions, and potions supplied by the drug cartel known as big pharma. So who really is at fault? Players feel the pressure of remaining relevant so they resort to artificial means. It's the money and the exorbitant salaries that drive these guys. The exposure to these drugs has to be restricted more diligently. Unfortunately this is not going away any time soon.
Great blog post. Like the way we can keep current on trades and issues.
"I think they hope A-Rod will come back and pretend to play, but only use him for promotional efforts."
Not even this. A-Roid's reputation is burnt to a crisp and the Yankees know it. Last week, even the MLB Network framed the retrospective narrative in ways they have NEVER done before, such as "Rodriguez became Public Enemy #1 after signing with the Texas Rangers in 2001 for $20 million a year…" That tone is new and it took me by surprise.
But as KO pointed out with more elegance and style than me, those zany Steinbrenner kids had a huge part in manufacturing this colossal s**t sandwich with onions, and they're gonna have to take a big ol' bite.
Maybe the MLB Network will let him broadcast games this year? I know they usually just pull one of the team's feeds, but I do know they've let Costas broadcast a game or two(probably Yankees/Red Sox).
Hey Keith,
Well, that was some fun stuff; just keep on bloggin.
"$114,000,000. Exactly what would your motivation be to accept something less? " ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Well Keith, unlike you and Alex Rodriguez, there are people in America who can look in the mirror and say "you know what…. I suck at this, and it's probably time to find a real job", or in the case of you two azzoles, it should have been time to completely walk away a long time ago and just use up that money you swindeled the Yankees, or Rangers, or ESPN, or MSNBC out of.

Here are four tips for what parents can do outside the classroom to help their child succeed:
- Create a home environment that encourages learning and schoolwork. Establish a daily routine of mealtimes with time for homework, chores and bedtime.
- Reinforce learning at home and show your child the skills they're learning are applicable to everyday life. For example, if your child is learning about measurements, solicit help with a recipe.
- Model the habits of a lifelong learner. Let your child see you reading, writing and using technology.
- Become an advocate. Sign up to speak to the school board about resources your child's school and schools in general need to be successful.

"Recon plan Charlie: Execute! Let's move, move, move, move, move!"
Growing up in the age of G.I.JOE, army men and soldiers have already advanced so far with their sculpts, paint, accessories, and of course the articulation. Little packs of cheap soldiers could still be found at the local grocery store but nobody actually bought them. Never was there any reason to!
Fast forward into the mid '90s when Toy Story was released unto the world. Little Green Army Men were movie stars! And not only that their cheap quality made them incredibly awesome as characters. Of course the voice talents of R. Lee Ermey helped a ton but its still one of the finer scenes of the film when the troops go on their mission to find out what new presents Andy received for his birthday.

Thinkway Toys, the guys behind the original Buzz Lightyear toys are also behind the plastic soldiers. I seem to recall there being a bucket of toy soldiers at retail when the movie debuted but since I never bought Buzz or Woody, there was never a need for them. Fast forward again 14 years later and rediscovering my love of the original films through the toys, I couldnt help but purchase a Bucket O Soldiers of my very own.
I got my bucket at Target which sells them for about $12.99, though I noticed ToysRUs had 'em too a little higher at $14.99. The Disney Store website also has these but dont be fooled by their specs, the Soldiers do NOT come with a certificate of authenticity like the other Toy Story Collection toys do. What you get in the bucket is 72 soldiers, two of which have parachutes. That comes out to about 18 cents a soldier!
PACKAGING: You actually get to see the bucket of soldiers in the Toy Story film so its only natural that you get a bucket too. It looks smaller compared to the one in the film however they did their best to get the look of it right. But all in all, its a bucket! Completely reusable, good for storage, etc etc. The two parachuting soldiers come individually bagged with their chutes folded up and the string wrapped around them.
SCULPT: 72 soldiers. Hows that break down? Theres the two parachuters that have unique sculpts. Then you have seven other soldiers, but theres ten each. Basically that comes out to 9 unique soldiers.
The plastic is of high quality (at least it seems that way to me) and you have most of the essential poses seen in the film.
There are a few things that do bother me though, and its mainly because Im a stickler for film accuracy. The soldiers should all have the same bases on their feet no matter what position theyre in. If theres a soldier on the ground, he should still have the base on his feet. The crawler soldier and snipers dont have any at all! The mortar soldiers base is separated even! For Toy Story, were supposed to pretend that all of the soldiers are the same but performing different duties.
And upon closer inspection, the face sculpts seem a little too detailed too. In the film they all have a very nondescript face; as if theyre barely sculpted at all since theyre so small. These toy soldiers have a little too much going on and it doesnt look like the soldiers from the film.
Last, the Sarge is on a parachute! Why is the Sarge on a parachute? We need him to talk to Woody and bark orders to the soldiers. The other solider on parachute is pretty much right on so I wish they included two of this solider on parachute.
So theres more than a couple of gripes about the sculpts, but theyre still fun to play with. And since these soldiers have no paint or articulation, well move along to the accessories.
ACCESSORIES: All 72 soldiers have their weapons molded into their sculpt, but two special soldiers have parachutes! They fold right up and have the strings already fixed onto the loop over the helmets. Toss them over a 2nd story and watch them go. I was actually really impressed with the parachutes really fun stuff.
VALUE: If you dont mind the sculpt inaccuracies I pointed out, or that the Sarge is attached to the parachute, then this is a bucket of fun. These are toys first, movie replicas second so as a toy, I think its a great value. 18 cents a soldier, cool bucket, and two parachutes, thats something I can get behind. I would try to avoid going over $13 though.
OVERALL: Me buying a bucket of small army men is proof that if you have a great film and good product to support it, you can sell me anything. Of course I would have preferred a lot more film accurate characters, but these soldiers still won me over with their simplistic nature. The parachutes especially brought me way back to the days of my youth when I had G.I.Joe gliders.
If you have young kids that havent gotten into the major toys that dominate the retail shelves, I think the Bucket O Soldiers is a great start. For the rest of you who jumped onto the Toy Story Collection bug, Id also recommend the bucket as well. Its far from perfect but the heart of it is perfectly intact.
Now if Thinkway can make me an individually carded Sergeant figure, Ibe set.

It's been a number of years since I approached the haunt season armed with the knowledge that I'd be visiting less haunted attractions than the previous year, but such is the case in 2016. I'm at peace with that. The decision to tour less haunted attractions in 2016 was made for two reasons — the most prominent being my involvement with the Wyandotte Jaycees Haunted House, SIN. The other reason for the reduction is simply that I've been fortunate to visit so many haunted houses over the last decade; the State of Michigan is running low on spooky places I haven't witnessed.
Another change this year is that I've ranked the nights below in order of importance. In an effort to tour new attractions I've prioritized those trips. There are of course other factors as well such as proximity to other haunts and that is reflected as well. The haunt season does of course offer surprises every season and for that reason the list below, although ranked in order of importance, does not necessarily represent a chronological order of events. Nor is this list meant to suggest that I'll manage to get to each of these places. I've done this long enough to know that each Halloween season is a unique, wild creature.
Night #1 – Jackson's Underworld (Jackson), Awaken (Leslie) & Shawhaven Haunted Farm (Mason)
Notes: Shawhaven Haunted Farm has been on my radar for the last couple of seasons but the clock has always seemed run out on the season before a trip could manifest. It's an hour and a half from my home but when Awaken recently opened in nearby Leslie, I knew it was finally time to make Shawhaven a priority. Then I realized that our route would take us right by Jackson's Underworld, a haunt we haven't visited since 2013. This was a harmonic convergence of direction and distance as each haunt is roughly 15 – 20 minutes apart from the last.
Night #2 – Bloodview (Broadview Heights, OH.) & Carnival of Horrors (Cuyahoga Falls, OH.)
Notes: An every other year pattern is emerging with Bloodview; frequent readers may remember that Bloodview is staffed by The Legion of Terror an improvisational group that showcases a new theme every weekend. We witnessed Zombie Apocalypse in 2012 and Witch Trials in 2014. This year I want to experience the Sinister Sideshow which will be held the weekend of October 7 – 9. Carnival of Horrors is located in Cuyahoga Falls, roughly 30 minutes from Bloodview in Broadview Heights. The distance itself isn't prohibitive but the Carnival of Horrors does host four attractions and that could prove problematic if lines are long. Luckily, this region of Ohio boasts a number of haunted attractions that can serve as an alternate if need be.
Night #3 – Haunted Elementary (Bridgeport) & Bates Haunted Saw Mill (Millington)
Notes: Haunted Elementary is now enveloped by the Bridgeport Goregrounds and features three haunts including FrightSite (a 3D attraction) and Outbreak (an interactive zombie event). It definitely has the feel of a small Michigan haunt on the upswing. Bates Haunted Saw Mill offers two attractions and touts itself as being "old school creepy." I do love me some old school. Bridgeport and Millington are just shy of 30 minutes apart although the drive from home will eclipse the 1 hour and 45 minute mark, a pair of new locations that collectively house five attractions seems worth the gamble.
Night #4 – Woods of Darkness (South Rockwood), Psycho Path (Flat Rock) & Hush (Westland)
Notes: Admittedly, these are all attractions I've toured before but my last trip through Wood of Darkness came during the 2011 season. Furthermore, the haunted house has been run by an entirely different team the last several seasons which could produce a significantly different experience than when last I came knocking. There was some fear that Psycho Path would cease operations after a crucial member of the team departed during the off-season but that concern was recently laid to rest when I received confirmation that the little gem would indeed be operational in 2016 with a Medieval theme. We have visited Hush three straight years, but off-season circumstances there facilitated a total rebuild that produced an intriguing New Orleans-themed attraction. The other prime factor with this night is the proximity to home which provides a lot of flexibility where dates and times are concerned.
Night #5 – Bonadeo Farms (Highland Township) & Rotten Manor (Holly)
Notes: Rotten Manor was named the 2015 Horrorlust Haunt of the Year and new for 2016 are Rotten Forest and Clown Barn. That's plenty of intrigue to be sure but in a year with limited dates and an emphasis on new locations, I'm not sure that the haunted corn maze and haunted house at the somewhat obscure Bonadeo Farms is enough of a lure for this night. This has the feel of a wild card so I'll leave it to the haunt fates.
Night #6 – Panic at Pinestump Hollow (St. Clair) & The Deadland (Warren)
Notes: Panic at Pinestump Hollow is similar to Shawhaven Haunted Farm in that it's a place with more than one attraction that I've desired to visit for a few years now and have failed to get there. So why is it so far down on this list? Well, we've already visited everything else within shouting distance. We crossed off Blake's and Slaughtered at Sundown in 2013, checked off The Fear Factory last year and toured Haunted Farm of Terror twice. We did visit Scarefest Scream Park in 2012 and only toured two of the four attractions so I suppose that might be an option as well. Had Salem's Haunted Barn in Capac been operational this year, that pair would've moved this outing up two to three places on this list. I had also heard that the House of Fear in Hazel Park was going to reopen this year but the website for that haunt has out of date information. For all of those reasons I've paired it with The Deadland which provided a solid opening night show last year.
Night #7 – The Haunted Hydro (Fremont, OH.)
Notes: I last toured The Haunted Hydro six years ago in 2010. I love the place, it has atmosphere in spades. It has stood for 27 years, is operated by passionate professionals and is a true child of Halloween. But since the closure of Terror Town last year I've been unable to find anything to pair with The Haunted Hydro. It's roughly an hour and half from my area and that's something to consider for just one location; even one as excellent as The Haunted Hydro. I'm open to suggestions should anyone know of another haunt around the Fremont region.
Corpse Barn Shock Haunt – Made a good first impression in 2014 and I have a feeling the gang here is capable of even better. It'll be an ideal substitute should one of the haunts fall through on Night #1. Plus it's a barn haunt. I love barn haunts.
The Dent Schoolhouse – Been pining to visit for a good five years now, would require an overnight trip. On the plus side, the Cincinnati region has several other haunted attractions that would compliment The Dent Schoolhouse quite nicely. I'm so very tempted to move this one onto the main list.
Darksyde Acres – Toured this unique locale from 2011 – 2014; one year layoff has me itching to get back. One of those post-Halloween 18+ Nights would work perfectly for me but a glance at the calendar suggests that isn't likely this season.
Dreadlands Haunt of Davison – Research Labs was without question one of the most unusual haunted attractions I've ever toured and last year the operators even did a glow stick event which is hard for me to even comprehend at this haunt. I'd love to experience that myself but the routes outlined above make it unlikely.
Haunting in the Hills – A new haunt located in Onsted with three attractions, the most interesting of which is called Train Car of Terror. It's kind of in no man's land but might be worth checking out if something funky happens to the schedule and I suddenly have a free day. In fact, it wouldn't pair up badly with Corpse Barn Shock Haunt or Darksyde Acres.
Slaughter House – Last visited in 2013, nobody mixes humor and illusion like Slaughter House. I liked what I read last year regarding several scene updates and a Purge theme for 2016 should keep things interesting. It could be paired with Trail of Terror at Bestmaze Corn Maze in Williamston or possibly something from Night #1 if the schedule goes wonky.

By Drew Griffin and Kathleen Johnston
HERLONG, California (CNN) - If you need an example of why it is hard to cut the budget in Washington look no further than this Army depot in the shadow of the Sierra Nevada range.
CNN was allowed rare access to what amounts to a parking lot for more than 2,000 M-1 Abrams tanks. Here, about an hour's drive north of Reno, Nevada, the tanks have been collecting dust in the hot California desert because of a tiff between the Army and Congress.
The U.S. has more than enough combat tanks in the field to meet the nation's defense needs - so there's no sense in making repairs to these now, the Army's chief of staff Gen. Raymond T. Odierno told Congress earlier this year.
If the Pentagon holds off repairing, refurbishing or making new tanks for three years until new technologies are developed, the Army says it can save taxpayers as much as $3 billion.
That may seem like a lot of money, but it's a tiny sacrifice for a Defense Department that will cut $500 billion from its budget over the next decade and may be forced to cut a further $500 billion if a deficit cutting deal is not reached by Congress.
Why is this a big deal? For one, the U.S. hasn't stopped producing tanks since before World War II, according to lawmakers.
Plus, from its point of view the Army would prefer to decide what it needs and doesn't need to keep America strong while making tough economic cuts elsewhere.
"When a relatively conservative institution like the U.S. military, which doesn't like to take risks because risks get people killed, says it has enough tanks, I think generally civilians should be inclined to believe them," said Travis Sharp a fellow at the defense think tank, New American Security.
But guess which group of civilians isn't inclined to agree with the generals on this point?
To be exact, 173 House members - Democrats and Republicans - sent a letter April 20 to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, urging him to continue supporting their decision to produce more tanks.
That's right. Lawmakers who frequently and loudly proclaim that presidents should listen to generals when it comes to battlefield decisions are refusing to take its own advice.
If the U.S. pauses tank production and refurbishment it will hurt the nation's industrial economy, lawmakers say.
"The combat vehicle industrial base is a unique asset that consists of hundreds of public and private facilities across the United States," the letter said. The outlook for selling Abrams tanks to other nations appears "stronger than prior years," the letter said. But those sales would be "inadequate to sustain the industrial base and in some cases uncertain. In light of this, modest and continued Abrams production for the Army is necessary to protect the industrial base."
Lima, Ohio, is a long way from this dusty tank parking lot. The tiny town in the northwestern part of the Buckeye State is where defense manufacturing heavyweight General Dynamics makes these 60-plus-ton behemoths.
The tanks create 16,000 jobs and involve 882 suppliers, says Kendell Pease, the company's vice-president of government relations and communications. That job figure includes ancillary positions like gas station workers who fill up employees' cars coming and going to the plant.
Many of the suppliers for tank manufacturing are scattered around the country so the issue of stopping production or refurbishment becomes a parochial one: congressional representatives don't want to kill any jobs in their districts, especially as the economy struggles during an election year.
"General Dynamics is not the industrial base," Pease said. "It is small vendors."
But General Dynamics certainly has a stake in the battle of the tanks and is making sure its investment is protected, according to research done by The Center for Public Integrity, a journalism watchdog group.
What its reporters found was General Dynamics campaign contributions given to lawmakers at key times, such as around congressional hearings, on whether or not to build more tanks.
"We aren't saying there's vote buying" said Aaron Metha, one of the report's authors. "We are saying it's true in pretty much all aspects of politics - but especially the defense industry. It's almost impossible to separate out the money that is going into elections and the special interests. And what we found was the direct spike in the giving around certain important dates that were tied to votes."
Pease said General Dynamics is bipartisan in its giving and there is nothing suspicious in the timing of its donations to members of the House and Senate. The giving is tied to when fundraisers are held in Washington - which is also when Congress is in session, he said.
Lawmakers that CNN interviewed denied that donations influenced their decisions to keep the tanks rolling.
Rep. Buck McKeon, a Republican from California and chairman of the House armed services committee, said he didn't know General Dynamics had given him $56,000 in campaign contributions since 2009 until CNN asked him about it.
"You know, the Army has a job to do and we have a job to do," McKeon said. "And they have tough choices because they've been having their budget cut."
McKeon said he's thinking about the long range view. "... If someone could guarantee us that we'll never need tanks in the future, that would be good. I don't see that guarantee."
Similarly, his Democratic counterpart on the committee, Rep. Silvestre Reyes, who has received $64,000 from General Dynamics since 2001, said he is worried about the workforce if the Lima plant is closed for three years.
"Listen, we don't want to play Russian Roulette with the national security of this country," Reyes said.
Odierno explained to the committee that it would be cheaper to shut down the tank plant and then restart it in 2017. But his plea was ignored.
"Lima would cost us $2.8 billion just to keep that open and our tank fleet is in good shape and we don't need to because of the great support that we have gotten over the last two years," he told the committee.
But General Dynamics said it will cost a lot less to keep the plant open. Pease said the Army hasn't factored in the huge costs of closing the plant and the potential loss of skilled workers who will be needed come 2017 when the Army plans to remodel the Abrams tank.
"It's not whether they need those tanks, it's how much it costs to restart it," said Pease. General Dynamics, he said, will survive with or without refurbishing tanks over the next three years.
So how did Congress respond to Gen. Odeirno's request to shut down production until 2017?
The answer came in the proposed congressional budget for next year. It includes $181 million for tanks the Army doesn't want or need now. That begs another question: who will likely get the money for the 70 or so tanks covered by that contract when it goes out for bid?
"General Dynamics would probably get the contract for it anyway because they are kind of the ones that are out there leading the way on this," said McKeon.
The Army tank battle sends an unsettling message to the Defense Department, says Sharp, with the defense think tank. But it's a message that may not surprise a public weary from decades of battles and horse-trading that have defined Capitol Hill.
"The fact that the military is having such a hard time getting this relatively small amount of money to be saved, I think is an indication of the huge uphill fight that the military faces when it comes to Congress," Sharp said. "Congress is going to fight tooth and nail to protect defense investments that benefit their constituents and the people that live in their states."
Maybe the next time the generals go up to the Hill, they should take a cue from the well-protected tanks parked in California. Perhaps they might consider wearing body armor.

If rock and roll is dead, Tom Petty and Eric Clapton didn't get the memo — and neither did the 'Guardians of the Galaxy.'
The two iconic artists have respectively claimed the No. 1 and 2 positions on the latest Billboard Album Charts, with the vintage rock-heavy 'Guardians' soundtrack hot on their heels at No. 3. This isn't the first time rock music has recently stormed the normally pop-dominated charts; about a month ago both Judas Priest and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young both broke into the higher reaches of the weekly report.
Considering he has been releasing records for the last 38 years, 'Hypnotic Eye' is, somewhat astonishingly, Tom Petty's first No. 1 album. [WIN a copy of HYPNOTIC EYE!] Although the album didn't match Petty's best sales week (that designation goes to 1994′s 'Wildflowers') 'Hypnotic Eye' still moved an impressive 131,000 copies.
Sales of Petty's newest record were undoubtedly fueled by his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last week as well as the buzz surrounding his North American tour, which kicked off in Eugene, Or. this week.
Clapton's appearance in the runner-up position on the Billboard Charts comes courtesy of his latest effort, 'The Breeze,' which sold 61,000 units last week. The album serves as a tribute to the late J.J. Cale, a close friend of Clapton's who passed away last July. To help pay tribute to Cale, Clapton rounded up an impressive bunch of friends including Petty, Willie Nelson, Mark Knopfler, John Mayer and more.
Despite contemplating retiring from the road, Clapton clearly remains as popular as ever and insists that he will continue making new records.
